The Buffered PLUS are unsecured obligations of Morgan Stanley Finance LLC ("MSFL") and are fully and unconditionally
guaranteed by Morgan Stanley. The Buffered PLUS will pay no interest, provide a minimum payment at maturity of only 20% of the
stated principal amount 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 Buffered PLUS will be based on the
value of the worst performing of the NASDAQ-100 Index®, the S&P 500® Index and the Dow Jones Industrial AverageSM. At
maturity, if the final index value of e a c h underlying index is gre a t e r t ha n its respective initial index value, investors will receive
the stated principal amount of their investment plus leveraged upside performance of the worst performing underlying index. If the
final index value of a ny underlying index is le ss t ha n or e qua l to its respective initial index value, but the final index value of
e a c h underlying index is gre a t e r t ha n or e qua l t o 80% of its respective initial index value, meaning that no underlying index
has decreased from its initial index value by an amount greater than the buffer amount of 20%, investors will receive the stated
principal amount of their investment. However, if the final index value of a ny underlying index is le ss t ha n 80% of its respective
initial index value, meaning that a ny underlying index has decreased from its respective initial index value by an amount greater
than the buffer amount of 20%, investors will lose 1% for every 1% decline in the worst performing underlying index beyond the
specified buffer amount, subject to the minimum payment at maturity of 20% of the stated principal amount. Investors may lose up
to 80% of the stated principal amount of the Buffered PLUS. Because the payment at maturity of the Buffered PLUS is based on
the worst performing of the underlying indices, a decline in a ny underlying index by an amount greater than the buffer amount will
result in a loss, and potentially a significant loss, of your investment even if the other underlying indices have appreciated or have
not declined as much. These long dated Buffered 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 three underlying indices and forgo current income in exchange
for the leverage and buffer features that in each case apply to a limited range of performance of the worst performing underlying
index. The Buffered PLUS are notes issued as part of MSFL's Series A Global Medium-Term Notes program.

The Buffered PLUS Based on the Value of the Worst Performing of the NASDAQ-100 Index®, the S&P 500® Index and the Dow
Jones Industrial AverageSM due April 8, 2025 (the "Buffered PLUS") can be used:

To gain exposure to the worst performing of three U.S. equity indices

To potentially outperform the worst performing of the NASDAQ-100 Index®, the S&P 500® Index and the Dow Jones Industrial
AverageSM by taking advantage of the leverage factor

To obtain a buffer against a specified level of negative performance in the worst performing underlying index

If the final index value of a ny underlying index is le ss t ha n 80% of its respective initial index value, investors will be negatively
exposed to the decline in the worst performing underlying index beyond the buffer amount and will lose some or a substantial
portion of their investment.

may lose up to 80% of the stated principal amount of the Buffered PLUS.
Buffe r a m ount :
20%, with 1-to-1 downside exposure to the worst performing underlying
index below the buffer
Coupon:
None
List ing:
The Buffered PLUS will not be listed on any securities exchange

The original issue price of each Buffered PLUS is $1,000. This price includes costs associated with issuing, selling, structuring and
hedging the Buffered PLUS, which are borne by you, and, consequently, the estimated value of the Buffered PLUS on the pricing
date is less than $1,000. We estimate that the value of each Buffered PLUS on the pricing date is $949.80.

What goes into the estimated value on the pricing date?
https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/895421/000095010320007137/dp125776_424b2-ps3858.htm[4/7/2020 2:55:52 PM]



In valuing the Buffered PLUS on the pricing date, we take into account that the Buffered PLUS comprise both a debt component
and a performance-based component linked to the underlying indices. The estimated value of the Buffered 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 Buffered PLUS?

In determining the economic terms of the Buffered PLUS, including the leverage factor, the buffer amount and the minimum
payment at maturity, 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 Buffered 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 Buffered PLUS?

The price at which MS & Co. purchases the Buffered 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 Buffered PLUS are not fully deducted upon issuance, for a period of up to 6 months
following the issue date, to the extent that MS & Co. may buy or sell the Buffered 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.

MS & Co. may, but is not obligated to, make a market in the Buffered PLUS, and, if it once chooses to make a market, may cease
doing so at any time.

The final index value of a ny underlying index is le ss t ha n 80% of its respective initial index value. In
this case, the Buffered PLUS redeem for less than the stated principal amount by an amount
proportionate to the percentage decrease of the worst performing underlying index over the term of the
Dow nside
Buffered PLUS, plus the buffer amount of 20%. For example, if the final index value of the worst

Because the payment at maturity of the Buffered PLUS is based on the worst performing of the underlying indices, a decline in
a ny underlying index to less than 80% of its respective initial index value will result in a loss, and potentially a significant loss, of
your investment, even if the other underlying indices have appreciated or have not declined as much.

The following hypothetical examples illustrate how to calculate the payment at maturity on the Buffered PLUS. The following
examples are for illustrative purposes only. The actual initial index value for each underlying index is set forth on the cover of this

In example 1, the final index value of each of the NDX Index, the SPX Index and the INDU Index is greater than its respective
initial index value. The NDX Index has appreciated by 10%, the SPX Index has appreciated by 40% and the INDU Index has
appreciated by 20%. Therefore, investors receive at maturity the stated principal amount plus 153% of the appreciation of the worst
performing underlying index, which is the NDX Index in this example. Investors receive $1,153 per Buffered PLUS at maturity.

In example 3, the final index value of the NDX Index is greater than its respective initial index value, while the final index values of
the SPX Index and the INDU Index are less than 80% of their respective initial index values. While the NDX Index has appreciated
by 10%, the SPX index has declined by 50% and the INDU Index has declined by 40%. Therefore, investors are exposed to the
negative performance of the SPX Index, which is the worst performing underlying index in this example, beyond the buffer amount
of 20%, and receive a payment at maturity of $700 per Buffered PLUS. In this example, investors are exposed to the negative
performance of the worst performing underlying index even though one of the underlying indices has appreciated in value by 10%,
because the final index value of each index is not greater than or equal to 80% of its respective initial index value.

In example 4, the final index value of each underlying index is less than its respective initial index value, but no underlying index
has decreased from its initial index value by an amount greater than the buffer amount of 20%. The NDX index has declined by
5%, the SPX Index has declined by 10% and the INDU Index has declined by 15%. Therefore, investors receive at maturity the
stated principal amount. Investors receive $1,000 per Buffered PLUS at maturity.

Risk Factors

The following is a non-exhaustive list of certain key risk factors for investors in the Buffered 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 Buffered PLUS.

The Buffered PLUS do not pay interest and provide a minimum payment at maturity of only 20% of the
st a t e d princ ipa l a m ount . The terms of the Buffered PLUS differ from those of ordinary debt securities in that the Buffered
PLUS do not pay interest and provide a minimum payment at maturity of only 20% of the stated principal amount of the

Buffered PLUS. If the final index value of a ny underlying index is le ss t ha n 80% of its initial index value, you will receive for
each Buffered PLUS that you hold a payment at maturity that is less than the stated principal amount of each Buffered PLUS
by an amount proportionate to the decline in the value of the worst performing underlying index from its initial index value, plus
$200 per Buffered PLUS. Ac c ordingly, inve st ors m a y lose up t o 8 0 % of t he st a t e d princ ipa l a m ount of t he
Buffe re d PLU S.

You are exposed to the price risk of each underlying index. Your return on the Buffered PLUS it not linked to a
basket consisting of each underlying index. 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 each underlying index. Poor performance
by any underlying index over the term of the securities will negatively affect your return and will not be offset or mitigated by
any positive performance by the other underlying indices. If any underlying index declines to below 80% of its respective initial
index value as of the valuation date, you will lose some or a substantial portion of your investment, even if the other underlying
indices have appreciated or have not declined as much. Accordingly, your investment is subject to the price risk of each
underlying index.

Because the Buffered PLUS are linked to the performance of the w orst performing underlying index, you
a re e x pose d t o gre a t e r risk of sust a ining a loss on your inve st m e nt t ha n if t he Buffe re d PLU S w e re
link e d t o just one unde rlying inde x . The risk that you will suffer a loss on your investment is greater if you invest in the
Buffered PLUS as opposed to substantially similar securities that are linked to the performance of just one underlying index.
With three underlying indices, it is more likely that any underlying index will decline to below 80% of its initial index value as of
the valuation date than if the Buffered PLUS were linked to only one underlying index. Therefore it is more likely that you will
suffer a loss on your investment.

The market price of the Buffered PLUS w ill be influenced by many unpredictable factors. Several factors
will influence the value of the Buffered PLUS in the secondary market and the price at which MS & Co. may be willing to
purchase or sell the Buffered PLUS in the secondary market, including the value, volatility and dividend yield of the underlying
indices, interest and yield rates in the market, time remaining until the Buffered PLUS mature, geopolitical conditions and
economic, financial, political, 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 Buffered PLUS will be affected
by the other factors described above. The levels of the underlying indices may be, and have recently been, volatile, and we
can give you no assurance that the volatility will lessen. See "NASDAQ-100 Index® Overview," "S&P 500® Index Overview"
and "Dow Jones Industrial AverageSM Overview" below. You may receive less, and possibly significantly less, than the stated
principal amount per Buffered PLUS if you try to sell your Buffered PLUS prior to maturity.

The Buffered PLUS are subject to our credit risk, and any actual or anticipated changes to our credit
ra t ings or c re dit spre a ds m a y a dve rse ly a ffe c t t he m a rk e t va lue of t he Buffe re d PLU S. You are dependent on
our ability to pay all amounts due on the Buffered PLUS at maturity and therefore you are subject to our credit risk. If we
default on its obligations under the Buffered 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 Buffered 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 Buffered PLUS.

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 amount payable on the Buffered PLUS is not linked to the values of the underlying indices at any
t im e ot he r t ha n t he va lua t ion 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 postponement for non-index business days and certain market disruption
events. Even if each underlying index appreciates prior to the valuation date but the value of a ny underlying index drops by
the valuation date, the payment at maturity will be 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 Buffered 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 Buffered PLUS is not equivalent to investing in any underlying index. Investing in the
Buffered PLUS is not equivalent to investing in any underlying index or the component stocks of any underlying index. As an
investor in the Buffered PLUS, you will not have voting rights or rights to receive dividends or other distributions or any other
rights with respect to stocks that constitute the underlying indices.

Adjustments to the underlying indices could adversely affect the value of the Buffered PLUS. The publisher
of each 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 each 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.

including MS & Co., may be willing to purchase the Buffered 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 Buffered PLUS in the original issue price and the
lower rate we are willing to pay as issuer make the economic terms of the Buffered PLUS less favorable to you than they
otherwise would be.

However, because the costs associated with issuing, selling, structuring and hedging the Buffered PLUS are not fully deducted
upon issuance, for a period of up to 6 months following the issue date, to the extent that MS & Co. may buy or sell the
Buffered 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.

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 Buffered PLUS than
those generated by others, including other dealers in the market, if they attempted to value the Buffered PLUS. In addition, the
