Linked to the S&P 500® Index due July 31, 2029
Fully and Unconditionally Guaranteed by Morgan Stanley
Principal at Risk Securities
Investment Description
These Trigger GEARS (the "Securities") are unsecured and unsubordinated debt securities issued by Morgan Stanley
Finance LLC ("MSFL") and 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 Underlying Return is greater than zero, MSFL wil pay the Principal
Amount at maturity plus a return equal to the product of (i) the Principal Amount multiplied by (i ) the Underlying Return
multiplied by (i i) the Upside Gearing of 1.70. If the Underlying Return is less than or equal to zero, MSFL wil either pay the
ful Principal Amount at maturity, or, 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 Upside Gearing feature 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 repayment of principal applies 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

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 $9.21.

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 Upside Gearing 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 17 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.

MS & Co. currently intends, 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.

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 65% of the Initial Level), 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 35% 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, and the contingent repayment of principal applies 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 Upside Gearing 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 Upside Gearing 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 Upside Gearing from MSFL only if you hold your Securities to maturity.
¨ 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,

https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/895421/000095010319009928/dp110360_424b2-ps2229.htm

https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/895421/000095010319009928/dp110360_424b2-ps2229.htm
o
the time remaining until the Securities mature, and

o
any actual or anticipated changes in our credit ratings or credit spreads.

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 or below or moderately above its Initial Level, and
especial y if it is near or below the Downside

5

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" index, 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 17 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.
