underlying index, is at or above 1,000, which we refer to as the barrier level, on the related observation date (as specified below). If the index closing
value is less than the barrier level on any observation date, we will pay no interest for the related interest period. It is possible that the index closing
value could remain below the barrier level for extended periods of time or even throughout the period from the third year following the original issue date
until maturity so that you will receive no contingent monthly coupons. At maturity, the payment due under the notes will be the stated principal amount for
each note you hold and accrued and unpaid interest, if any. The notes are senior unsecured obligations of Morgan Stanley and all payments on the notes,
including the repayment of principal, are subject to the credit risk of Morgan Stanley.

SUMMARY OF PRICING SUPPLEMENT

The following summary describes the notes in general terms only. You should read the summary together with the more detailed information that is
contained in the rest of this pricing supplement and in the accompanying prospectus and prospectus supplement. You should carefully consider, among
other things, the matters set forth in "Risk Factors."

The notes are medium-term debt securities of Morgan Stanley. The notes only provide for the regular payment of interest during the two-year
period following the original issue date. After the second year and until maturity, the notes will pay a contingent monthly coupon but only if the index
closing value of the S&P 500® Index is at or above 1,000, which we refer to as the barrier level, on the related observation date. The notes have been
designed for investors who are willing to forgo market floating interest rates and accept the risk of no interest payments after the second year in exchange
for an opportunity to earn interest at a potentially above-market rate if the S&P 500® Index closes at or above the barrier level on each monthly
observation date. All payments on the notes, including the repayment of principal, are subject to the credit risk of Morgan Stanley.

"Standard & Poor's®", "S&P®", "S&P 500®", "Standard & Poor's 500" and "500" are trademarks of Standard and Poor's Financial Services
LLC, an affiliate of The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc., and have been licensed for use by Morgan Stanley.

Each note costs $1,000

We, Morgan Stanley, are offering the Non-Callable Contingent Coupon Notes Based on the Performance of the
S&P 500® Index due February 27, 2026, which we refer to as the notes. The principal amount and original issue
price of each note is $1,000.

The original issue price of the notes includes the agent's commissions paid with respect to the notes as well as the
cost of hedging our obligations under the notes. The cost of hedging includes the projected profit that our
subsidiaries may realize in consideration for assuming the risks inherent in managing the hedging
transactions. The secondary market price, if any, at which Morgan Stanley & Co. Incorporated, which we refer to
as MS & Co., is willing to purchase the notes is expected to be affected adversely by the inclusion of these
commissions and hedging costs in the original issue price. In addition, the secondary market price may be lower
due to the costs of unwinding the related hedging transactions at the time of the secondary market transaction. See
"Risk Factors--The inclusion of commissions and projected profit from hedging in the original issue price is likely
to adversely affect secondary market prices" and "Description of Notes--Use of Proceeds and Hedging."

days and twelve 30-day months) on the applicable interest payment date for the applicable interest period.

remain below the barrier level for extended periods of time or even throughout the period from the third
year following the original issue date until maturity so that you will receive no contingent monthly coupons.

We refer to the coupon on the notes as contingent, because there is no guarantee that you will receive a coupon
payment on any interest payment date. Even if the underlying index were to be at or above the barrier level on
some monthly observation dates, it may fluctuate below the barrier level on others.

The barrier level is 1,000.

The interest payment dates are the 28th day of each month, beginning March 28, 2011. The observation dates are
the fourth business day preceding each interest payment date, beginning with the March 28, 2013 interest payment
date, subject to postponement for non-index business days and certain market disruption events.

Each interest period will be the monthly period from and including the original issue date (in the case of the first
interest period) or the previous scheduled interest payment date, as applicable, to but excluding the following
scheduled interest payment date, with no adjustment for any postponement thereof.

The maturity date and each interest payment date may be postponed as a result of the postponement of the related
observation date due to non-index business days or certain market disruption events. No adjustment will be made
to any interest payment made on that postponed date.

100% of the principal

At maturity, the payment due under the notes will be the stated principal amount per note plus accrued and unpaid
amount due at maturity
interest, if any, subject to issuer credit risk.

Please review the historical performance of the underlying index for the period from January 1, 2006 through
February 23, 2011 in this pricing supplement under "Description of Notes--Historical Information." You cannot
predict the future performance of the underlying index based on its historical performance.

section called "Risk Factors." The tax treatment of investments in equity-linked notes such as these differs
from that of investments in ordinary debt securities. See the section of this pricing supplement called
"Description of Notes--United States Federal Income Taxation." You should consult with your investment,
legal, tax, accounting and other advisors with regard to any proposed or actual investment in the notes.

RISK FACTORS
The notes are not secured debt, are riskier than ordinary debt securities and, unlike ordinary debt securities, the notes only provide for the regular payment
of interest for the first two years following their issuance. After the second year and until maturity, the notes will pay a contingent monthly coupon but
only if the index closing value of the S&P 500® Index is at or above the barrier level on the related observation date. In addition, investing in the notes is
not equivalent to investing in a fixed rate debt security due to the fact that any interest payments after the second year following the issuance are
contingent on the performance of the S&P 500® Index. This section describes the most significant risks relating to the notes.

The notes provide for

The terms of the notes differ from those of ordinary debt securities in that they only provide for the regular
regular interest payments
payment of interest during the two-year period following the original issue date. After the second year and until
only during the first and
maturity, the notes will pay a contingent monthly coupon but only if the index closing value of the S&P 500®
second years following their
Index is at or above 1,000, which we refer to as the barrier level, on the related observation date. If, on the other
issuance
hand, the index closing value of the underlying index is lower than the barrier level on the relevant
observation date for any interest period, we will pay no coupon on the applicable interest payment date. It is
possible that the index closing value could remain below the barrier level for extended periods of time or
even throughout the period from the third year following the original issue date until maturity so that you
will receive no contingent monthly coupons. If you do not earn sufficient contingent coupons over the term of
the notes, the overall return on the notes may be less than the amount that would be paid on a conventional debt
security of the issuer of comparable maturity.

The contingent coupon is

Whether the contingent coupon will be paid on any interest payment date will be determined at the end of the
based only on the value of
relevant interest period based on the closing value of the underlying index on the relevant monthly observation
the underlying index on the
date. As a result, you will not know whether you will receive the contingent coupon on any interest payment date
related monthly observation
until near the end of the relevant interest period. Moreover, because the contingent coupon is based solely on the
date at the end of the
value of the underlying index on monthly observation dates, if the closing value of the underlying index on any
related interest period
observation date is below the barrier level, you will receive no coupon for the related interest period even if the
level of the underlying index was at or above the barrier level on other days during that interest period.

Market price will be

Several factors, many of which are beyond our control, will influence the value of the notes in the secondary
influenced by many
market and the price at which MS & Co. may be willing to purchase or sell the notes in the secondary market. We
unpredictable factors
expect that generally the level of interest rates available in the market and the value of the S&P 500® Index on any
day will affect the value of the notes more than any other factors. Other factors that may influence the value of the
notes include:

· the volatility (frequency and magnitude of changes in value) of the S&P 500® Index,

· whether the index closing value of the S&P 500® Index has been below the barrier level on any observation
date,

· geopolitical conditions and economic, financial, political, regulatory or judicial events that affect the
component stocks of the underlying index or securities markets generally and which may affect the value of the
underlying index,
