Morgan Stanley Finance LLC $4,911,400 Trigger Absolute Return Step Securities
Linked to the S&P 500® Index due May 30, 2025
Fully and Unconditionally Guaranteed by Morgan Stanley
Principal at Risk Securities
Investment Description
These Trigger Absolute Return Step Securities (the "Securities") are unsecured and unsubordinated debt securities issued by
Morgan Stanley Finance LLC ("MSFL"), ful y and unconditional y guaranteed by Morgan Stanley, with returns linked to the
performance of the S&P 500® Index (the "Underlying"). If the Final Level is greater than or equal to the Step Barrier, MSFL wil
pay the Principal Amount at maturity plus a return equal to the greater of (i) the Step Return of 20.00% and (i ) the Underlying
Return. If the Final Level is less than the Step Barrier but greater than or equal to the Downside Threshold, MSFL wil pay the ful
Principal Amount at maturity and pay a return equal to the absolute value of the Underlying Return (the "Contingent Absolute
Return"). However, if the Final Level is less than the Downside Threshold, MSFL wil pay significantly less than the ful Principal
Amount at maturity, if anything, resulting in a loss of principal that is proportionate to the negative Underlying Return. These
long-dated Securities are for investors who seek an equity index-based return and who are wil ing to risk a loss on their principal
and forgo current income in exchange for the Step Return and the Contingent Absolute Return features and the contingent
repayment of principal, which applies only if the Final Level is not less than the Downside Threshold, each as applicable at
maturity. Investing in the Securities involves significant risks. You will not receive interest or dividend payments during
the term of the Securities. You may lose a significant portion or all of your Principal Amount. The Contingent Absolute
Return, any contingent repayment of principal and the Step Return apply only if you hold the Securities to maturity.
All payments are subject to our credit risk. If we default on our obligations, you could lose some or all of your
investment. These Securities are not secured obligations and you will not have any security interest in, or otherwise
have any access to, any underlying reference asset or assets.

You should rely only on the information incorporated by reference or provided in this pricing supplement or the accompanying
prospectus supplement, index supplement and prospectus. We have not authorized anyone to provide you with different
information. We are not making an offer of these securities in any state where the offer is not permitted. You should not assume
that the information in this pricing supplement or the accompanying prospectus supplement, index supplement and prospectus is
accurate as of any date other than the date on the front of this document.

The Issue Price of each Security is $10. This price includes costs associated with issuing, sel ing, structuring and hedging the
Securities, which are borne by you, and, consequently, the estimated value of the Securities on the Trade Date is less than
$10. We estimate that the value of each Security on the Trade Date is $9.528.

What goes into the estimated value on the Trade Date?

In valuing the Securities on the Trade Date, we take into account that the Securities comprise both a debt component and a
performance-based component linked to the Underlying. The estimated value of the Securities is determined using our own
pricing and valuation models, market inputs and assumptions relating to the Underlying, instruments based on the Underlying,
volatility and other factors including current and expected interest rates, as wel 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 Securities?

In determining the economic terms of the Securities, including the Step Return, the Step Barrier and the Downside Threshold, 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, sel ing, 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 Securities would be more favorable to you.

What is the relationship between the estimated value on the Trade Date and the secondary market price of the Securities?

The price at which MS & Co. purchases the Securities in the secondary market, absent changes in market conditions, including
those related to the Underlying, may vary from, and be lower than, the estimated value on the Trade Date, because the
secondary market price takes into account our secondary market credit spread as wel 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, sel ing, structuring and hedging the Securities are not ful y deducted upon issuance, for a period of up to 12 months
fol owing the Settlement Date, to the extent that MS & Co. may buy or sel the Securities in the secondary market, absent
changes in market conditions, including those related to the Underlying, 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 wil also be reflected in your brokerage
account statements.

Key Risks
An investment in the Securities involves significant risks. Some of the risks that apply to the Securities are summarized here, but
we urge you to also read the "Risk Factors" section of the accompanying prospectus. You should also consult your investment,
legal, tax, accounting and other advisers in connection with your investment in the Securities.
¨ The Securities do not guarantee any return of principal The terms of the Securities differ from those of ordinary debt
securities in that MSFL is not necessarily obligated to repay any of the Principal Amount at maturity. If the Final Level is less
than the Downside Threshold (which is 75% of the Initial Level), the Contingent Absolute Return wil not apply, you wil be
exposed to the ful negative Underlying Return and the payout owed at maturity by MSFL wil be an amount in cash that is at
least 25% less than the $10 Principal Amount of each Security, resulting in a loss proportionate to the decrease in the value
of the Underlying from the Initial Level to the Final Level. There is no minimum payment at maturity on the Securities, and,
accordingly, you could lose al of your Principal Amount in the Securities
¨ You may incur a loss on your investment if you sell your Securities prior to maturity The Downside Threshold is
observed on the Final Valuation Date, the Contingent Absolute Return and any contingent repayment of principal apply only
at maturity. If you are able to sel your Securities in the secondary market prior to maturity, you may have to sel them at a
loss relative to your initial investment even if the Closing Level of the Underlying is above the Downside Threshold at that
time.
¨ The Step Return applies only if you hold the Securities to maturity  You should be wiling to hold your Securities to
maturity. If you are able to sel your Securities prior to maturity in the secondary market, the price you receive wil likely not
reflect the ful economic value of the Step Return or the Securities themselves, and the return you realize may be less than
the Underlying's return even if such return is positive. You can receive the ful benefit of the Step Return from MSFL only if
you hold your Securities to maturity.
¨ The potential for a positive return if the Underlying depreciates is limited  Any positive return on the Securities if the
Underlying depreciates wil be limited by the Downside Threshold, because the Contingent Absolute Return feature wil apply
only if the Final Level is greater than or equal to the Downside Threshold. If the Final Level is less than the Downside
Threshold, you wil not receive a Contingent Absolute Return and wil instead lose a substantial portion or al of your
investment
¨ The Securities are subject to our credit risk, and any actual or anticipated changes to our credit ratings or our credit
spreads may adversely affect the market value of the Securities You are dependent on our ability to pay al amounts
due on the Securities at maturity, if any, and therefore you are subject to our credit risk. If we default on our obligations under
the Securities, your investment would be at risk and you could lose some or al of your investment. As a result, the market
value of the Securities prior to maturity wil be affected by changes in the market's view of our creditworthiness. Any actual
or anticipated decline in our credit ratings or increase in our credit spreads charged by the market for taking our credit risk is
likely to adversely affect the market value of the Securities.

¨ As a finance subsidiary, MSFL has no independent operations and will have no independent assets As a finance
subsidiary, MSFL has no independent operations beyond the issuance and administration of its securities and wil 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 wil be limited to those
available under the related guarantee by Morgan Stanley and that guarantee wil rank pari passu with al other unsecured,
unsubordinated obligations of Morgan Stanley. Holders wil 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 Securities do not pay interest MSFL wil not pay any interest with respect to the Securities over the term of the
Securities.
¨ The market price of the Securities may be influenced by many unpredictable factors Several factors, many of which
are beyond our control, wil influence the value of the Securities in the secondary market and the price at which MS & Co.
may be wil ing to purchase or sel the Securities in the secondary market (if at al ), including:

o
the value of the Underlying at any time,

o
the volatility (frequency and magnitude of changes in value) of the Underlying,

o
dividend rates on the securities included in the Underlying,

o
interest and yield rates in the market,

o
geopolitical conditions and economic, financial, political, regulatory or judicial events that affect the Underlying or
stock markets general y and which may affect the Final Level,

Some or al of these factors wil influence the terms of the Securities at the time of issuance and the price that you wil receive
if you are able to sel your Securities prior to maturity, as the Securities are comprised of both a debt component and a
performance-based component linked to the Underlying, and these are the types of factors that also general y affect the
values of debt securities and derivatives linked to the Underlying. General y, the longer the time remaining to maturity, the
more the market price of the Securities wil be affected by the other factors described above. For example, you may have to
sel your Securities at a substantial discount from the principal amount of $10 per Security if the value of the Underlying at the
time of sale is at, below or moderately above its Initial Level, and especial y if it is near or below the Downside Threshold, or
if market interest rates rise. You cannot predict the future performance of the Underlying based on its historical performance.

t The probability that the Final Level will be less than the Downside Threshold will depend on the volatility of the
Underlying "Volatility" refers to the frequency and magnitude of changes in the level of the Underlying. Higher expected
volatility with respect to the Underlying as of the Trade Date general y indicates a greater chance as of that date that the
Final Level wil be less than the Downside Threshold, which would result in a loss of a significant portion or al of your
investment at maturity. However, the Underlying's volatility can change significantly over the term of the Securities. The level
of the Underlying could fal sharply, resulting in a significant loss of principal. You should be wil ing to accept the downside
market risk of the Underlying and the potential loss of a significant portion or al of your investment at maturity.
¨ The amount payable on the Securities is not linked to the level of the Underlying at any time other than the Final
Valuation Date The Final Level wil be based on the Closing Level of the Underlying on the Final Valuation Date, subject to
postponement for non-Index Business Days and certain Market Disruption Events. Even if the level of the Underlying
appreciates prior to the Final Valuation Date but then drops by the Final Valuation Date, the Payment at Maturity may be
significantly less than it would have been had the Payment at Maturity been linked to the level of the Underlying prior to such
drop. Although the actual level of the Underlying on the stated Maturity Date or at other times during the term of the
Securities may be higher than the Final Level, the Payment at Maturity wil be based solely on the Closing Level of the
Underlying on the Final Valuation Date as compared to the Initial Level.
¨ Investing in the Securities is not equivalent to investing in the Underlying or the stocks composing the Underlying
Investing in the Securities is not equivalent to investing in the Underlying or the stocks that constitute the Underlying.
Investors in the Securities wil not have voting rights or rights to receive dividends or other distributions or any other rights
with respect to the stocks that constitute the Underlying. Additional y, the Underlying is not a "total return" Underlying, which,
in addition to reflecting the market prices of the stocks that constitute the Underlying, would also reflect dividends paid on
such stocks. The return on the Securities wil not include such a total return feature.
¨ The rate we are willing to pay for securities of this type, maturity and issuance size is likely to be lower than the rate
implied by our secondary market credit spreads and advantageous to us. Both the lower rate and the inclusion of
costs associated with issuing, selling, structuring and hedging the Securities in the Issue Price reduce the
economic terms of the Securities, cause the estimated value of the Securities to be less than the Issue Price and will
adversely affect secondary market prices Assuming no change in market conditions or any other relevant factors, the
prices, if any, at which dealers, including MS & Co., may be wil ing to purchase the Securities in secondary market
transactions wil likely be significantly lower than the Issue Price, because secondary market prices wil exclude the issuing,
sel ing, structuring and hedging-related costs that are included in the Issue Price and borne by you and because the
secondary market prices wil 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 wel as other factors.

The inclusion of the costs of issuing, sel ing, structuring and hedging the Securities in the Issue Price and the lower rate we
are wil ing to pay as issuer make the economic terms of the Securities less favorable to you than they otherwise would be.

However, because the costs associated with issuing, sel ing, structuring and hedging the Securities are not ful y deducted
upon issuance, for a period of up to 12 months fol owing the Settlement Date, to the extent that MS & Co. may buy or sel the
Securities in the secondary market, absent changes in market conditions, including those related to the Underlying, 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 wil also be reflected in your brokerage account statements.

¨ The estimated value of the Securities is determined by reference to our pricing and valuation models, which may
differ from those of other dealers and is not a maximum or minimum secondary market price 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 Securities than those generated by others, including other
dealers in the market, if they attempted to value the Securities. In addition, the estimated value on the Trade Date does not
represent a minimum or maximum price at which dealers, including MS & Co., would be wil ing to purchase your Securities in
the secondary market (if any exists) at any time. The value of your Securities at any time after the date of this pricing
supplement wil vary based on many factors that cannot be predicted with accuracy, including our creditworthiness and
changes in market conditions. See also "The market price of the Securities may be influenced by many unpredictable
factors" above.
