The Trigger PLUS are unsecured obligations of Morgan Stanley Finance LLC ("MSFL") and are fully and unconditionally guaranteed by Morgan Stanley. The Trigger PLUS
will pay no interest, do not guarantee any return of principal at maturity and have the terms described in the accompanying product supplement for PLUS, index
supplement and prospectus, as supplemented or modified by this document. The payment at maturity on the Trigger PLUS will be based on the value of the worst
performing of the S&P 500® Index and the Russell 2000® Index, which we refer to as the underlying indices. At maturity, if bot h underlying indices have a ppre c ia t e d
in value, investors will receive the stated principal amount of their investment plus leveraged upside performance of the worst performing underlying index. If e it he r of
the underlying indices de pre c ia t e s in value, but the final index value of e a c h underlying index is greater than or equal to 60% of the respective initial index value,
which we refer to as the respective trigger level, investors will receive the stated principal amount of their investment. However, if the final index value of e it he r
underlying index is less than its respective trigger level, investors will lose a significant portion or all of their investment, resulting in a loss of 1% for every 1% decline in
the worst performing underlying index from its initial index value. I nve st ors m a y lose t he ir e nt ire init ia l inve st m e nt in t he T rigge r PLU S. Because the
payment at maturity of the Trigger PLUS is based on the worst performing of the underlying indices, a decline in e it he r underlying index below its respective trigger level
will result in a significant loss of your investment, even if the other underlying index has appreciated or has not declined as much. These long-dated Trigger PLUS are for
investors who seek an equity index-based return and who are willing to risk their principal, risk exposure to the worst performing of two underlying indices and forgo
current income in exchange for the upside leverage feature and the limited protection against loss that applies only if the final index value of each underlying index is
greater than or equal to the respective trigger level. The Trigger PLUS are notes issued as part of MSFL's Series A Global Medium-Term Notes program.

The Trigger PLUS Based on the Value of the Worst Performing of the S&P 500® Index and the Russell 2000® Index due December 24, 2026 (the "Trigger PLUS") can be
used:

As an alternative to direct exposure to the underlying indices that enhances returns for any positive performance of the worst performing underlying index

To potentially outperform the worst performing of the S&P 500® Index and the Russell 2000® Index by taking advantage of the leverage factor, with no limitation on
the appreciation potential

To provide limited protection against loss of principal in the event of a decline of the underlying indices but only if the respective final index level of the w orst
pe rform ing unde rlying inde x is gre a t e r t ha n or e qua l t o the respective trigger level

M a t urit y:
Approximately 8 years
200% (applicable only if the final index value of each underlying index is greater than its respective initial index
Le ve ra ge fa c t or:
value).
T rigge r le ve l:
With respect to the SPX Index, 60% of the initial index value

With respect to the RTY Index, 60% of the initial index value
M inim um pa ym e nt a t m a t urit y:
None. You could lose your entire initial investment in the Trigger PLUS
Coupon:
None

The original issue price of each Trigger PLUS is $1,000. This price includes costs associated with issuing, selling, structuring and hedging the Trigger PLUS, which are
borne by you, and, consequently, the estimated value of the Trigger PLUS on the pricing date is less than $1,000. We estimate that the value of each Trigger PLUS on
the pricing date is $910.80.

What goes into the estimated value on the pricing date?

In valuing the Trigger PLUS on the pricing date, we take into account that the Trigger PLUS comprise both a debt component and a performance-based component linked
to the underlying indices. The estimated value of the Trigger PLUS is determined using our own pricing and valuation models, market inputs and assumptions relating to
the underlying indices, instruments based on the underlying indices, volatility and other factors including current and expected interest rates, as well as an interest rate
related to our secondary market credit spread, which is the implied interest rate at which our conventional fixed rate debt trades in the secondary market.

What determines the economic terms of the Trigger PLUS?

In determining the economic terms of the Trigger PLUS, including the leverage factor and the trigger levels, we use an internal funding rate, which is likely to be lower than
our secondary market credit spreads and therefore advantageous to us. If the issuing, selling, structuring and hedging costs borne by you were lower or if the internal
funding rate were higher, one or more of the economic terms of the Trigger PLUS would be more favorable to you.

What is the relationship between the estimated value on the pricing date and the secondary market price of the Trigger PLUS?
https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/895421/000095010318014941/dp99924_424b2-ps1269.htm[12/26/2018 9:36:02 AM]



The price at which MS & Co. purchases the Trigger PLUS in the secondary market, absent changes in market conditions, including those related to the underlying indices,
may vary from, and be lower than, the estimated value on the pricing date, because the secondary market price takes into account our secondary market credit spread as
well as the bid-offer spread that MS & Co. would charge in a secondary market transaction of this type and other factors. However, because the costs associated with
issuing, selling, structuring and hedging the Trigger PLUS are not fully deducted upon issuance, for a period of up to 12 months following the issue date, to the extent that
MS & Co. may buy or sell the Trigger PLUS in the secondary market, absent changes in market conditions, including those related to the underlying indices, and to our
secondary market credit spreads, it would do so based on values higher than the estimated value. We expect that those higher values will also be reflected in your
brokerage account statements.

The Trigger PLUS offer leveraged upside exposure to the worst performing of the S&P 500® Index and the Russell 2000® Index. In exchange for the leverage feature,
investors are exposed to the risk of loss of a significant portion or all of their investment due to the trigger feature. At maturity, an investor will receive an amount in cash
based upon the closing value of the worst performing underlying index on the valuation date. The Trigger PLUS are unsecured obligations of ours, and all payments on
the Trigger PLUS are subject to our credit risk. I nve st ors m a y lose t he ir e nt ire init ia l inve st m e nt in t he T rigge r PLU S.

At maturity, even if the worst performing underlying index has declined over the term of the Trigger PLUS, you will receive your stated

trigger level.

The final index value of the worst performing index is less than or equal to the respective initial index value but is greater than or equal
to the respective trigger level. In this case, you receive the stated principal amount of $1,000 at maturity even though the worst
performing underlying index has depreciated.
Eit he r underlying index declines in value such that, at maturity, the final index value of the worst performing index is less than the
respective trigger level. In this case, the Trigger PLUS will redeem for at least 40% less than the stated principal amount, and this
decrease will be by an amount proportionate to the full decline in value of the worst performing underlying index over the term of the
Trigger PLUS.
Dow nside Sc e na rio

Because the payment at maturity of the Trigger PLUS is based on the worst performing of the underlying indices, a decline in e it he r
underlying index below its respective trigger level will result in a significant loss of your investment, even if the other underlying index has
appreciated or has not declined as much.

The following hypothetical examples illustrate how to calculate the payment at maturity on the Trigger PLUS. The following examples are for illustrative purposes
only. The actual initial index value and trigger level for each underlying index are set forth on the cover page of this pricing supplement. The payment at maturity on the
Trigger PLUS is subject to our credit risk. The below examples are based on the following terms:

SPX Index: (2,200 ­ 2,000) / 2,000 = 10%
RTY Index: (1,400 ­ 1,000) / 1,000 = 40%
Payment at maturity
=
$1,000 + leveraged upside payment

=
$1,000 + ($1,000 × leverage factor × index percent change of the worst performing underlying index)

=
$1,000 + ($1,000 × 200% × 10%)

=
$1,200



In example 1, the final index values of both the SPX Index and the RTY Index are greater than their initial index values. The SPX Index has appreciated by 10%, while
the RTY Index has appreciated by 40%. Therefore, investors receive at maturity the stated principal amount plus 200% of the appreciation of the worst performing
underlying index, which is the SPX Index in this example. Investors receive $1,200 per Trigger PLUS at maturity.

In example 2, the final index value of the SPX Index is greater than its initial index value, while the final index value of the RTY Index is less than its initial index value,
but is greater than or equal to the respective trigger level. The SPX Index has appreciated by 30% while the RTY index has declined by 20%. Investors will receive the
stated principal amount of $1,000.

In example 3, the final index value of the SPX Index is greater than its initial index value, while the final index value of the RTY Index has declined below the trigger
level. The SPX Index has appreciated by 30% while the RTY Index has depreciated by 60%. Because the final index value of the RTY Index has declined below the
trigger level, investors are exposed to the negative performance of the RTY Index, which is the worst performing underlying index in this example. Investors receive a
payment at maturity of $400.

In example 4, the final index values of both the SPX Index and the RTY Index are less than their respective trigger levels. The SPX Index has declined by 70% while the
RTY Index has declined by 60%. Therefore, investors are exposed to the negative performance of the SPX Index, which is the worst performing underlying index in this
example. Investors receive a payment at maturity of $300.

Risk Factors

The following is a non-exhaustive list of certain key risk factors for investors in the Trigger PLUS. For further discussion of these and other risks, you should read the
section entitled "Risk Factors" in the accompanying product supplement for PLUS, index supplement and prospectus. We also urge you to consult your investment, legal,
tax, accounting and other advisers in connection with your investment in the Trigger PLUS.

The Trigger PLUS do not pay interest or guarantee return of any principal. The terms of the Trigger PLUS differ from those of ordinary debt securities
in that the Trigger PLUS do not pay interest or guarantee payment of any principal at maturity. If the final index value of e it he r underlying index is less than the
respective trigger level (which is 60% of the respective initial index level), the payout at maturity will be an amount in cash that is at least 40% less than the $1,000
stated principal amount of each Trigger PLUS, and this decrease will be by an amount proportionate to the full decrease in the value of the worst performing
underlying index over the term of the Trigger PLUS. There is no minimum payment at maturity on the Trigger PLUS, and you could lose your entire investment.

You are exposed to the price risk of both underlying indices. Your return on the Trigger PLUS it not linked to a basket consisting of both underlying
indices. Rather, it will be based upon the independent performance of each underlying index. Unlike an instrument with a return linked to a basket of underlying
assets, in which risk is mitigated and diversified among all the components of the basket, you will be exposed to the risks related to both underlying indices. Poor
performance by either underlying index over the term of the Trigger PLUS will negatively affect your return and will not be offset or mitigated by any positive
performance by the other underlying index. If either underlying index declines to below its respective trigger level as of the valuation date, you will be exposed to the
negative performance of the worst performing underlying index at maturity, even if the other underlying index has appreciated or has not declined as much, and you
will lose a significant portion or all of your investment. Accordingly, your investment is subject to the price risk of both underlying indices.

Because the Trigger PLUS are linked to the performance of the w orst performing underlying index, you are exposed to greater risk of

suffer a significant loss on your investment is greater if you invest in the Trigger PLUS as opposed to substantially similar securities that are linked to just the
performance of one underlying index. With two underlying indices, it is more likely that either underlying index will decline to below its trigger level as of the valuation
date, than if the Trigger PLUS were linked to only one underlying index. Therefore it is more likely that you will suffer a significant loss on your investment.

The market price w ill be influenced by many unpredictable factors. Several factors will influence the value of the Trigger PLUS in the secondary
market and the price at which MS & Co. may be willing to purchase or sell the Trigger PLUS in the secondary market, including the value, volatility and dividend yield
of the underlying indices, interest and yield rates, time remaining to maturity, geopolitical conditions and economic, financial, political and regulatory or judicial events
and any actual or anticipated changes in our credit ratings or credit spreads. Generally, the longer the time remaining to maturity, the more the market price of the
Trigger PLUS will be affected by the other factors described above. The levels of the underlying indices may be, and have recently been, extremely volatile, and we
can give you no assurance that the volatility will lessen. See "S&P 500® Index Overview" and "Russell 2000® Index Overview" below. You may receive less, and
possibly significantly less, than the stated principal amount per Trigger PLUS if you try to sell your Trigger PLUS prior to maturity.

The Trigger PLUS are subject to our credit risk, and any actual or anticipated changes to our credit ratings or credit spreads may
a dve rse ly a ffe c t t he m a rk e t va lue of t he T rigge r PLU S. You are dependent on our ability to pay all amounts due on the Trigger PLUS at maturity and
therefore you are subject to our credit risk. If we default on our obligations under the Trigger PLUS, your investment would be at risk and you could lose some or all
of your investment. As a result, the market value of the Trigger PLUS prior to maturity will be affected by changes in the market's view of our creditworthiness. Any
actual or anticipated decline in our credit ratings or increase in the credit spreads charged by the market for taking our credit risk is likely to adversely affect the market
value of the Trigger PLUS.

As a finance subsidiary, MSFL has no independent operations and w ill have no independent assets. As a finance subsidiary, MSFL has no
independent operations beyond the issuance and administration of its securities and will have no independent assets available for distributions to holders of MSFL
securities if they make claims in respect of such securities in a bankruptcy, resolution or similar proceeding. Accordingly, any recoveries by such holders will be limited
to those available under the related guarantee by Morgan Stanley and that guarantee will rank pari passu with all other unsecured, unsubordinated obligations of
Morgan Stanley. Holders will have recourse only to a single claim against Morgan Stanley and its assets under the guarantee. Holders of securities issued by MSFL
should accordingly assume that in any such proceedings they would not have any priority over and should be treated pari passu with the claims of other unsecured,
unsubordinated creditors of Morgan Stanley, including holders of Morgan Stanley-issued securities.

The Trigger PLUS are linked to the Russell 2000® Index and are subject to risks associated w ith small-capitalization companies. As the
Russell 2000® Index is one of the underlying indices, and the Russell 2000® Index consists of stocks issued by companies with relatively small market capitalization,
the Trigger PLUS are linked to the value of small-capitalization companies. These companies often have greater stock price volatility, lower trading volume and less
liquidity than large-capitalization companies and therefore the Russell 2000® Index may be more volatile than indices that consist of stocks issued by large-
capitalization companies. Stock prices of small-capitalization companies are also more vulnerable than those of large-capitalization companies to adverse business
and economic developments, and the stocks of small-capitalization companies may be thinly traded. In addition, small capitalization companies are typically less well-
established and less stable financially than large-capitalization companies and may depend on a small number of key personnel, making them more vulnerable to loss
of personnel. Such companies tend to have smaller revenues, less diverse product lines, smaller shares of their product or service markets, fewer financial resources
and less competitive strengths than large-capitalization companies and are more susceptible to adverse developments related to their products.

The amount payable on the Trigger PLUS is not linked to the values of the underlying indices at any time other than the valuation
da t e . The final index value of each underlying index will be based on the index closing value of such index on the valuation date, subject to adjustment for non-
index business days and certain market disruption events. Even if both underlying indices appreciate prior to the valuation date but the value of e it he r underlying
index drops by the valuation date to below its trigger level, the payment at maturity will be significantly less than it would have been had the payment at maturity been
linked to the values of the underlying indices prior to such drop. Although the actual values of the underlying indices on the stated maturity date or at other times
during the term of the Trigger PLUS may be higher than their respective final index values, the payment at maturity will be based solely on the index closing values
on the valuation date.

Investing in the Trigger PLUS is not equivalent to investing in either underlying index. Investing in the Trigger PLUS is not equivalent to investing
in either underlying index or the component stocks of either underlying index. Investors in the Trigger PLUS will not have voting rights or rights to receive dividends or
other distributions or any other rights with respect to stocks that constitute either underlying index.

Adjustments to the underlying indices could adversely affect the value of the Trigger PLUS. The publisher of either underlying index may add,
delete or substitute the stocks constituting such underlying index or make other methodological changes that could change the value of such underlying index. The
publisher of either underlying index may discontinue or suspend calculation or publication of such underlying index at any time. In these circumstances, the calculation
agent will have the sole discretion to substitute a successor index that is comparable to the discontinued underlying index and will be permitted to consider indices that
are calculated and published by the calculation agent or any of its affiliates.

to purchase the Trigger PLUS in secondary market transactions will likely be significantly lower than the original issue price, because secondary market prices will
exclude the issuing, selling, structuring and hedging-related costs that are included in the original issue price and borne by you and because the secondary market
prices will reflect our secondary market credit spreads and the bid-offer spread that any dealer would charge in a secondary market transaction of this type as well as
other factors.

The inclusion of the costs of issuing, selling, structuring and hedging the Trigger PLUS in the original issue price and the lower rate we are willing to pay as issuer
make the economic terms of the Trigger PLUS less favorable to you than they otherwise would be.

However, because the costs associated with issuing, selling, structuring and hedging the Trigger PLUS are not fully deducted upon issuance, for a period of up to 12
months following the issue date, to the extent that MS & Co. may buy or sell the Trigger PLUS in the secondary market, absent changes in market conditions,
including those related to the underlying indices, and to our secondary market credit spreads, it would do so based on values higher than the estimated value, and we
expect that those higher values will also be reflected in your brokerage account statements.

The Trigger PLUS w ill not be listed on any securities exchange and secondary trading may be limited. The Trigger PLUS will not be listed on
any securities exchange. Therefore, there may be little or no secondary market for the Trigger PLUS. MS & Co. may, but is not obligated to, make a market in the
Trigger PLUS. Even if there is a secondary market, it may not provide enough liquidity to allow you to trade or sell the Trigger PLUS easily. Because we do not
expect that other broker-dealers will participate significantly in the secondary market for the Trigger PLUS, the price at which you may be able to trade your Trigger
PLUS is likely to depend on the price, if any, at which MS & Co. is willing to transact. If, at any time, MS & Co. were not to make a market in the Trigger PLUS, it is
likely that there would be no secondary market for the Trigger PLUS. Accordingly, you should be willing to hold your Trigger PLUS to maturity.

The estimated value of the Trigger PLUS is determined by reference to our pricing and valuation models, w hich may differ from those of
ot he r de a le rs a nd is not a m a x im um or m inim um se c onda ry m a rk e t pric e . These pricing and valuation models are proprietary and rely in part on
subjective views of certain market inputs and certain assumptions about future events, which may prove to be incorrect. As a result, because there is no market-
standard way to value these types of securities, our models may yield a higher estimated value of the Trigger PLUS than those generated by others, including other
dealers in the market, if they attempted to value the Trigger PLUS. In addition, the estimated value on the pricing date does not represent a minimum or maximum
price at which dealers, including MS & Co., would be willing to purchase your Trigger PLUS in the secondary market (if any exists) at any time. The value of your
Trigger PLUS at any time after the date of this pricing supplement will vary based on many factors that cannot be predicted with accuracy, including our
creditworthiness and changes in market conditions. See also "The market price will be influenced by many unpredictable factors" above.

Hedging and trading activity by our affiliates could potentially adversely affect the value of the Trigger PLUS. One or more of our affiliates
and/or third-party dealers have carried out, and will continue to carry out, hedging activities related to the Trigger PLUS (and to other instruments linked to the
underlying index or its component stocks), including trading in the stocks that constitute the underlying indices as well as in other instruments related to the underlying
indices. As a result, these entities may be unwinding or adjusting hedge positions during the term of the Trigger PLUS, and the hedging strategy may involve greater
and more frequent dynamic adjustments to the hedge as the valuation date approaches. MS & Co. and some of our other affiliates also trade the stocks that
constitute the underlying indices and other financial instruments related to the underlying indices on a regular basis as part of their general broker-dealer and other
businesses. Any of these hedging or trading activities on or prior to the pricing date could have increased the initial index value of an underlying index, and, therefore,
could have increased the trigger level for such underlying index, which is the level at or above which such underlying index must close on the valuation date so that
investors do not suffer a significant loss on their initial investment in the Trigger PLUS (depending also on the performance of the other underlying
index). Additionally, such hedging or trading activities during the term of the Trigger PLUS, including on the valuation date, could potentially affect whether the value
of an underlying index on the valuation date is below the respective trigger level, and, therefore, whether an investor would receive significantly less than the stated
principal amount of the Trigger PLUS at maturity (depending also on the performance of the other underlying index).

The calculation agent, w hich is a subsidiary of Morgan Stanley and an affiliate of MSFL, w ill make determinations w ith respect to the
T rigge r PLU S. As calculation agent, MS & Co. has determined the initial index values and the trigger levels, will determine the final index values, including whether
either underlying index has decreased to below the respective trigger level, and will calculate the amount of cash, if any, you will receive at maturity. Moreover, certain
determinations made by MS & Co., in its capacity as calculation agent, may require it to exercise discretion and make subjective judgments, such as with respect to
the occurrence or non-occurrence of market disruption events and the selection of a successor index or calculation of the final index value in the event of a market
disruption event or discontinuance of the underlying indices. These potentially subjective determinations may adversely affect the payout to you at maturity, if any. For
further information regarding these types of determinations, see "Description of PLUS--Postponement of Valuation Date(s)" and "--Calculation Agent and Calculations"
and related definitions in the accompanying product supplement. In addition, MS & Co. has determined the estimated value of the Trigger PLUS on the pricing date.

The U.S. federal income tax consequences of an investment in the Trigger PLUS are uncertain. Please read the discussion under "Additional
Information--Tax considerations" in this document and the discussion under "United States Federal Taxation" in the accompanying product supplement for PLUS
(together, the "Tax Disclosure Sections") concerning the U.S. federal income tax consequences of an investment in the Trigger PLUS. If the Internal Revenue Service
(the "IRS") were successful in asserting an alternative treatment, the timing and character of income on the Trigger PLUS might differ significantly from the tax
treatment described in the Tax Disclosure Sections. For example, under one possible treatment, the IRS could seek to recharacterize the Trigger PLUS as debt
instruments. In that event, U.S. Holders would be required to accrue into income original issue discount on the Trigger PLUS every year at a "comparable yield"
determined at the time of issuance and recognize all income and gain in respect of the Trigger PLUS as ordinary income. Additionally, as discussed under "United
States Federal Taxation--FATCA" in the accompanying product supplement for PLUS, the withholding rules commonly referred to as "FATCA" would apply to the
Trigger PLUS if they were recharacterized as debt instruments. The risk that financial instruments providing for buffers, triggers or similar downside protection
features, such as the Trigger PLUS, would be recharacterized as debt is greater than the risk of recharacterization for comparable financial instruments that do not
have such features. We do not plan to request a ruling from the IRS regarding the tax treatment of the Trigger PLUS, and the IRS or a court may not agree with the
tax treatment described in the Tax Disclosure Sections.

In 2007, the U.S. Treasury Department and the IRS released a notice requesting comments on the U.S. federal income tax treatment of "prepaid forward contracts"
and similar instruments. The notice focuses in particular on whether to require holders of these instruments to accrue income over the term of their investment. It also
asks for comments on a number of related topics, including the character of income or loss with respect to these instruments; whether short-term instruments should
be subject to any such accrual regime; the relevance of factors such as the exchange-traded status of the instruments and the nature of the underlying property to
which the instruments are linked; the degree, if any, to which income (including any mandated accruals) realized by non-U.S. investors should be subject to
withholding tax; and whether these instruments are or should be subject to the "constructive ownership" rule, which very generally can operate to recharacterize certain
long-term capital gain as ordinary income and impose an interest charge. While the notice requests comments on appropriate transition rules and effective dates, any
Treasury regulations or other guidance promulgated after consideration of these issues could materially and adversely affect the tax consequences of an investment in
the Trigger PLUS, possibly with retroactive effect. Both U.S. and Non-U.S. Holders should consult their tax advisers regarding the U.S. federal income tax
consequences of an investment in the Trigger PLUS, including possible alternative treatments, the issues presented by this notice and any tax consequences arising
under the laws of any state, local or non-U.S. taxing jurisdiction.
