Principal at Risk Securities
The Enhanced Trigger Jump Securities, which we refer to as the securities, are unsecured obligations of Morgan Stanley Finance
LLC ("MSFL") and are fully and unconditionally guaranteed by Morgan Stanley. The securities will pay no interest, do not guarantee
any return of principal at maturity and have the terms described in the accompanying product supplement for Jump Securities,
index supplement and prospectus, as supplemented and modified by this document. If 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 70% of its respective initial index value, which we refer to as the respective downside
threshold value, you will receive for each security that you hold at maturity a minimum of $242.50 per security in addition to the
stated principal amount. If the worst performing underlying index appreciates by more than 24.25% over the term of the securities,
you will receive for each security that you hold at maturity the stated principal amount plus an amount based on the percentage
increase of such worst performing underlying index. However, if the final index value of e it he r underlying index is le ss t ha n its
respective downside threshold value, the payment at maturity will be significantly less than the stated principal amount of the
securities by an amount that is proportionate to the percentage decrease in the final index value of the worst performing underlying
from its initial index value. Under these circumstances, the payment at maturity will be less than $700 per security and could be
zero. Ac c ordingly, you c ould lose your e nt ire init ia l inve st m e nt in t he se c urit ie s. Because the payment at maturity
on the securities is based on the worst performing of the underlying indices, a decline in e it he r final index value below 70% of its
respective initial index value will result in a significant loss on your investment, even if the other underlying index has appreciated
or has not declined as much. These long-dated securities 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 payment feature that applies only if the final index value of e a c h underlying index is greater than or equal to its
respective downside threshold value. The securities are notes issued as part of MSFL's Series A Global Medium-Term Notes
Program.

The original issue price of each security is $1,000. This price includes costs associated with issuing, selling, structuring and
hedging the securities, which are borne by you, and, consequently, the estimated value of the securities on the pricing date is less
than $1,000. We estimate that the value of each security on the pricing date is $940.90.

What goes into the estimated value on the pricing date?

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

In determining the economic terms of the securities, including the upside payment and the downside threshold values, 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 securities 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 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 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 securities 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 securities 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 securities, and, if it once chooses to make a market, may cease doing
so at any time.

The securities do not pay interest but provide a minimum positive return of 24.25% if the final index value of e a c h of the S&P
500® Index and the Russell 2000® Index is greater than or equal to its respective downside threshold value and offer an uncapped
1-to-1 participation in the worst performing underlying index if the appreciation of such underlying index is greater than 24.25%.
However, if, as of the valuation date, the value of e it he r underlying index is less than its respective downside threshold value, the
payment due at maturity will be less than $700 per security and could be zero.

U pside Sc e na rio
If the final index value of each underlying index is greater than or equal to its respective downside
threshold value, the payment at maturity for each security will be equal to $1,000 plus the greater of (i)
$1,000 times the index percent change of the worst performing underlying index and (ii) the upside
payment of $242.50.
Dow nside Sc e na rio If the final index value of either underlying index is less than its respective downside threshold value,
you will lose 1% for every 1% decline in the value of the worst performing underlying index from its initial
index value, without any buffer (e.g., a 60% depreciation in the worst performing underlying index from the
respective initial index value to the respective final index value will result in a payment at maturity of $400
per security).

Because the payment at maturity of the securities is based on the worst performing of the underlying
indices, a decline in either underlying index below its respective downside threshold value will result in a
loss of a significant portion or all of your investment, even if the other underlying index has appreciated or
has not declined as much.

In example 1, the final index value for the SPX Index has increased frm its initial index value by 30%, and the final index value for
the RTY Index has increased from its initial index value by 40%. Because the final index value of each underlying index is above its
respective downside threshold value, and the index percent change of the worst performing underlying index is greater than the
minimum positive return of 24.25%, investors receive at maturity the stated principal amount plus 1-to-1 participation in the

In example 2, the final index value for the SPX Index has decreased from its initial index value by 15%, and the final index value
for the RTY Index has decreased from its initial index value by 10%. Because the final index value of each underlying index is
above its respective downside threshold value, investors receive at maturity the stated principal amount plus the upside payment of
$242.50. Although both underlying indices have depreciated, investors receive $1,242.50 per security at maturity.

In example 3, the final index value for the SPX Index has increased from its initial index value by 20%, and the final index value for
the RTY Index has decreased from its initial index value by 55%. Because one of the underlying indices has declined below its
respective downside threshold value, investors do not receive the upside payment and instead are exposed to the full negative
performance of the RTY Index, which is the worst performing underlying index in this example. Under these circumstances,
investors lose 1% of the stated principal amount for every 1% decline in the value of the worst performing underlying index from its
initial index value. In this example, investors receive a payment at maturity equal to $450 per security, resulting in a loss of 55%.

In example 4, the final index value for the SPX Index has decreased from its initial index value by 80%, and the final index value
for the RTY Index has decreased from its initial index value by 60%. Because one or more underlying indices have declined below
their respective downside threshold values, investors do not receive the upside payment and instead are exposed to the full

circumstances, investors lose 1% of the stated principal amount for every 1% decline in the value of the worst performing

Risk Factors

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

The securities do not pay interest or guarantee the return of any principal. The terms of the securities differ
from those of ordinary debt securities in that the securities do not pay interest or guarantee the payment of any principal at
maturity. At maturity, you will receive for each $1,000 stated principal amount of securities that you hold an amount in cash
based upon the final index value of each underlying index. If the final index value of e it he r underlying index is less than 70%
of its respective initial index value, you will not receive the fixed upside payment and you will instead receive at maturity an
amount in cash that is significantly less than the $1,000 stated principal amount of each security by an amount proportionate to

securities, and you will lose a significant portion or all of your investment. T he re is no m inim um pa ym e nt a t m a t urit y
on t he se c urit ie s, a nd, a c c ordingly, you c ould lose your e nt ire inve st m e nt .

You are exposed to the price risk of both underlying indices. Your return on the securities is 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 securities will negatively affect your return and will not be offset or mitigated by any
positive performance by the other underlying index. If the final index value of either underlying index declines to below 70% of
its respective initial index value, you will be fully 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. Ac c ordingly, your
inve st m e nt is subje c t t o t he pric e risk of bot h unde rlying indic e s.

Because the securities are linked to the performance of the w orst performing underlying index, you are
e x pose d t o gre a t e r risk of sust a ining a signific a nt loss on your inve st m e nt t ha n if t he se c urit ie s w e re
link e d t o just one unde rlying inde x . The risk that you will suffer a significant loss on your investment is greater if you
invest in the securities as opposed to substantially similar securities that are linked to the performance of just one underlying
index. With two underlying indices, it is more likely that the final index value of either underlying index will decline to below its
respective downside threshold value than if the securities were linked to only one underlying index. Therefore, it is more likely
that you will suffer a significant loss on your investment.

The amount payable on the securities is not linked to the values of the underlying indices at any time
ot he r t ha n t he va lua t ion da t e . The final index values will be the index closing values on the valuation date, subject to
postponement for non-index business days and certain market disruption events. Even if the value of the worst performing
underlying index appreciates prior to the valuation date but then drops by the valuation date, the payment at maturity may be
significantly less than it would have been had the payment at maturity been linked to the value of the worst performing
underlying index prior to such drop. Although the actual value of the worst performing underlying index on the stated maturity
date or at other times during the term of the securities may be higher than its respective final index value, the payment at
maturity will be based solely on the index closing value of the worst performing underlying index on the valuation date.

The securities w ill not be listed on any securities exchange and secondary trading may be limited. The
securities will not be listed on any securities exchange. Therefore, there may be little or no secondary market for the securities.
Morgan Stanley & Co. LLC, which we refer to as MS & Co., may, but is not obligated to, make a market in the securities and,
if it once chooses to make a market, may cease doing so at any time. When it does make a market, it will generally do so for
transactions of routine secondary market size at prices based on its estimate of the current value of the securities, taking into
account its bid/offer spread, our credit spreads, market volatility, the notional size of the proposed sale, the cost of unwinding
any related hedging positions, the time remaining to maturity and the likelihood that it will be able to resell the securities. Even
if there is a secondary market, it may not provide enough liquidity to allow you to trade or sell the securities easily. Since other
broker-dealers may not participate significantly in the secondary market for the securities, the price at which you may be

able to trade your securities is likely to depend on the price, if any, at which MS & Co. is willing to transact. If, at any time, MS
& Co. were to cease making a market in the securities, it is likely that there would be no secondary market for the securities.
Accordingly, you should be willing to hold your securities to maturity.

The market price of the securities may be influenced by many unpredictable factors. Several factors, many
of which are beyond our control, will influence the value of the securities in the secondary market and the price at which MS &
Co. may be willing to purchase or sell the securities in the secondary market, including:

the values of the underlying indices at any time (including in relation to their initial index values),

the volatility (frequency and magnitude of changes in value) of the underlying indices,

dividend rates on the securities underlying the underlying indices,

interest and yield rates in the market,

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

the time remaining until the maturity of the securities,

the composition of the underlying indices and changes in the constituent stocks of the underlying indices, 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 securities will be affected by the other
factors described above. Some or all of these factors will influence the price you will receive if you sell your securities prior to
maturity. In particular, you may have to sell your securities at a substantial discount from the stated principal amount if at the
time of sale the value of either underlying index is near, at or below its respective downside threshold value.

You cannot predict the future performance of the underlying indices based on their historical performance. If the final index
value of either underlying index is less than 70% of its respective initial index value, you will be exposed on a 1-to-1 basis to
the full decline in the final index value of the worst performing underlying index from its respective initial index value. There
can be no assurance that the final index value of each underlying index will be greater than 70% of its respective initial index
value so that you will receive at maturity an amount that is greater than the $1,000 stated principal amount for each security
you hold, or that you will not lose a significant portion or all of your investment.

The securities are subject to our credit risk, and any actual or anticipated changes to our credit ratings
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 se c urit ie s. You are dependent on our ability to
pay all amounts due on the securities at maturity 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 all of your investment. As a
result, the market value of the securities 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 securities.

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,

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.

Assuming no change in market conditions or any other relevant factors, the prices, if any, at which dealers, including MS &
Co., are willing to purchase the securities 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 securities in the original issue price and the lower rate
we are willing 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, selling, structuring and hedging the securities 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 securities 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 estimated value of the securities is determined by reference to our pricing and valuation models,
w hic h m a y diffe r from t hose 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 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 pricing
date does not represent a minimum or maximum price at which dealers, including MS & Co., would be willing to purchase your
notes in the secondary market (if any exists) at any time. The value of your securities at any time after the date of this
document 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 of the securities may be influenced by many unpredictable factors" above.

The securities are linked to the Russell 2000® Index and are subject to risks associated w ith small-
c a pit a liza t ion c om pa nie s. 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 securities 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.

Investing in the securities is not equivalent to investing in the underlying indices. Investing in the securities
is not equivalent to investing in either underlying index or the component stocks of either underlying index. Investors in the

securities 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 securities. The publisher of
either underlying index may add, delete or substitute the stocks underlying such index or make other methodological changes
that could change the value of such underlying index. Any of these actions could adversely affect the value of the securities.
The publisher of such underlying index may also discontinue or

suspend calculation or publication of such underlying index at any time. In these circumstances, MS & Co., as the calculation
agent, will have the sole discretion to substitute a successor index that is comparable to the discontinued underlying index. MS
& Co. could have an economic interest that is different than that of investors in the securities insofar as, for example, MS &
Co. is permitted to consider indices that are calculated and published by MS & Co. or any of its affiliates. If MS & Co.
determines that there is no appropriate successor index, the payout on the securities at maturity will be an amount based on
the closing prices on the valuation date of the stocks underlying the relevant index at the time of such discontinuance, without
rebalancing or substitution, computed by the calculation agent in accordance with the formula for calculating such underlying
index last in effect prior to such discontinuance (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
de t e rm ina t ions w it h re spe c t t o t he se c urit ie s. As calculation agent, MS & Co. has determined the initial index values
and the downside threshold values, and will determine the final index values, the index percent changes or the index
performance factors, as applicable, and the payment that you will receive at maturity, if any. 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 index closing values in the event of a market disruption event or discontinuance of an underlying
index. 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 Securities--Postponement of Valuation Date(s)," "--
Discontinuance of Any Underlying Index or Basket Index; Alteration of Method of Calculation," "--Alternate Exchange
Calculation in case of an Event of Default" and "--Calculation Agent and Calculations" in the accompanying product
supplement. In addition, MS & Co. has determined the estimated value of the securities on the pricing date.

Hedging and trading activity by our affiliates could potentially adversely affect the value of the
se c urit ie s. 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 securities (and to other instruments linked to the underlying indices or their 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 securities, and the hedging strategy
may involve greater and more frequent dynamic adjustments to the hedge as the valuation date approaches. Some of our
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 value at or above which such underlying index must close on the valuation date so that you do not suffer a
significant loss on your initial investment in the securities (depending also on the performance of the other underlying index).
Additionally, such hedging or trading activities during the term of the securities, including on the valuation date, could adversely
affect the value of either underlying index on the valuation date, and, accordingly, the amount of cash an investor will receive
at maturity, if any (depending also on the performance of the other underlying index).

The U.S. federal income tax consequences of an investment in the securities are uncertain. Please read
the discussion under "Additional Provisions--Tax considerations" in this document and the discussion under "United States
Federal Taxation" in the accompanying product supplement for Jump Securities (together, the "Tax Disclosure Sections")
concerning the U.S. federal income tax consequences of an investment in the securities. If the Internal Revenue Service (the
"IRS") were successful in asserting an alternative treatment, the timing and character of income on the securities 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 securities as debt instruments. In that event, U.S. Holders would be required to accrue
