Descrizione dettagliata Morgan Stanley è una delle maggiori istituzioni finanziarie globali, operante in servizi di investment banking, gestione patrimoniale e trading.

Il mercato obbligazionario presenta un'opportunità d'investimento interessante, rappresentata dall'obbligazione di tipo corporate con codice ISIN US61770E2321 (e CUSIP 61770E232), emessa da Morgan Stanley Finance. Morgan Stanley Finance è una sussidiaria di Morgan Stanley, uno dei principali istituti finanziari globali, che offre un'ampia gamma di servizi bancari d'investimento, gestione patrimoniale e servizi di investimento in tutto il mondo, con una solida reputazione nel settore. Questa emissione, denominata in Dollari Americani (USD) e con Paese di emissione gli Stati Uniti, si distingue per essere un'obbligazione zero-coupon, il che significa che non prevede il pagamento di cedole periodiche (tasso di interesse dello 0%). Il rendimento per l'investitore deriva quindi dalla differenza tra il prezzo d'acquisto scontato e il valore nominale di rimborso alla scadenza, fissata per il 5 gennaio 2027. Attualmente, l'obbligazione è scambiata sul mercato a un prezzo pari al 12.5% del suo valore nominale, il che suggerisce un potenziale di apprezzamento significativo qualora venisse rimborsata al 100% a scadenza, offrendo un'opportunità di rendimento elevata a fronte del suo attuale sconto. L'ammontare totale dell'emissione è di 5.421.000 USD, con un taglio minimo di acquisto di 1.000 USD, rendendo l'investimento accessibile a una platea più ampia di investitori. Sebbene la frequenza di pagamento sia indicata come '2' (tipicamente semestrale per i bond tradizionali), per le obbligazioni zero-coupon questa indicazione si riferisce al rimborso del capitale, che avviene in un'unica soluzione alla data di scadenza. La qualità creditizia dell'emittente è rafforzata dalla valutazione 'A1' attribuita dall'agenzia di rating Moody's, che colloca il debito in una fascia di buona qualità, indicando una capacità forte di adempiere agli obblighi finanziari, sebbene il prezzo di mercato possa riflettere dinamiche specifiche o percezioni di rischio/opportunità legate alla natura intrinsecamente scontata del titolo. Questo titolo si presenta quindi come un'opzione per gli investitori alla ricerca di esposizione al mercato statunitense con un profilo di rischio/rendimento particolare, caratterizzato da un forte sconto e un rating solido, da valutare attentamente in relazione agli obiettivi di portafoglio individuali.

The notes are unsecured obligations of Morgan Stanley Finance LLC ("MSFL") and are fully and unconditionally guaranteed by
Morgan Stanley. The notes will pay no interest and will have the terms described in the accompanying product supplement, index
supplement and prospectus, as supplemented and modified by this document. At maturity, we will pay per note the stated principal
amount of $10 plus a supplemental redemption amount, if any, based on the value of the underlying index on the determination
date, subject to the maximum payment at maturity. These long-dated notes are for investors who are concerned about principal risk
but seek an equity index-based return, and who are willing to forgo current income and upside beyond the maximum payment at
maturity in exchange for the repayment of principal at maturity plus the potential to receive a supplemental redemption amount, if
any. The notes are notes issued as part of MSFL's Series A Global Medium-Term Notes program.

Investment Summary

M a rk e t -Link e d N ot e s

The Market-Linked Notes due January 5, 2027 Based on the Value of the S&P 500® Index (the "notes") offer 100% participation in
the positive performance of the underlying index, subject to the maximum payment at maturity. The notes provide investors:

an opportunity to gain exposure to the S&P 500® Index

the repayment of principal at maturity, subject to our creditworthiness

100% participation in any appreciation of the underlying index over the term of the notes, subject to the maximum payment at
maturity of $14.31 per note (143.10% of the stated principal amount)

no exposure to any decline of the underlying index if the notes are held to maturity.

At maturity, if the underlying index has depreciated or has not appreciated at all, you will receive the stated principal amount of $10
per note, without any positive return on your investment. All payments on the notes, including the repayment of principal at
maturity, are subject to our credit risk.

The original issue price of each note is $10. This price includes costs associated with issuing, selling, structuring and hedging the
notes, which are borne by you, and, consequently, the estimated value of the notes on the pricing date is less than $10. We
estimate that the value of each note on the pricing date is $9.579.

What goes into the estimated value on the pricing date?

In valuing the notes on the pricing date, we take into account that the notes comprise both a debt component and a performance-
based component linked to the underlying index. The estimated value of the notes is determined using our own pricing and
valuation models, market inputs and assumptions relating to the underlying index, instruments based on the underlying index,
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 notes?

In determining the economic terms of the notes, including the participation rate and the maximum 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 notes 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 notes?

The price at which MS & Co. purchases the notes in the secondary market, absent changes in market conditions, including those
related to the underlying index, 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 notes 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 notes in the secondary market, absent changes in market conditions, including those
related to the underlying index, 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 notes, and, if it once chooses to make a market, may cease doing so
at any time.

Key Investment Rationale

Market-Linked Notes offer investors exposure to the performance of equities or equity indices and provide for the repayment of
principal at maturity. They are for investors who are concerned about principal risk but seek an equity index-based return, and who
https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/895421/000095010320000045/dp118672_424b2-ps2915.htm[1/2/2020 3:48:24 PM]


are willing to forgo yield in exchange for the repayment of principal at maturity plus the potential to receive a supplemental
redemption amount, if any, based on the performance of the underlying index, subject to the maximum payment at maturity.



Re pa ym e nt of
The notes offer investors 100% upside exposure to the performance of the underlying index up to
Princ ipa l
the maximum payment at maturity, while providing for the repayment of principal in full at maturity.
U pside Sc e na rio
The underlying index increases in value significantly, and, at maturity, the investor receives a return
reflecting 100% of the appreciation of the underlying index, subject to the maximum payment at
maturity of $14.31 per note (143.10% of the stated principal amount).
Pa r Sc e na rio
The underlying index declines or does not appreciate in value, and, at maturity, the notes pay only
the stated principal amount of $10.

Hypothetical Payout on the Notes

At maturity, for each $10 stated principal amount of notes that you hold, you will receive the stated principal amount of $10 plus a
supplemental redemption amount, if any, subject to the maximum payment at maturity. The supplemental redemption amount will
be calculated on the determination date as follows:

(i) $10 times (ii) the index percent change times (iii) the participation rate of 100%, provided that the supplemental redemption
amount will not be less than $0 or greater than $4.31 per note.

In no event will the payment at maturity be less than the stated principal amount or greater than the maximum payment at maturity
of $14.31 per note (143.10% of the stated principal amount).

The table below illustrates the payment at maturity for each note for a hypothetical range of index percent change and does not
cover the complete range of possible payouts at maturity. The table assumes a hypothetical initial index value of 3,000.00 and
reflects the maximum payment at maturity of $14.31 per note. The actual initial index value is set forth on the cover page of this
document.

Risk Factors

The following is a non-exhaustive list of certain key risk factors for investors in the notes. 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. We also urge you to consult your investment, legal, tax, accounting and other advisers in connection with your
investment in the notes.

The notes do not pay interest and may not pay more than the stated principal amount at maturity. If the
index percent change is less than or equal to 0%, you will receive only the stated principal amount of $10 for each note you
hold at maturity. As the notes do not pay any interest, if the underlying index does not appreciate sufficiently over the term of
the notes, the overall return on the notes (the effective yield to maturity) may be less than the amount that would be paid on a
conventional debt security of ours of comparable maturity. The notes have been designed for investors who are willing to forgo
market floating interest rates in exchange for a supplemental redemption amount, if any, based on the performance of the
underlying index.

The appreciation potential of the notes is limited by the maximum payment at maturity. The appreciation
potential of the notes is limited by the maximum payment at maturity of $14.31 per note, or 143.10% of the stated principal
amount. Because the payment at maturity will be limited to 143.10% of the stated principal amount for the notes, any increase
in the level of the index beyond 143.10% of the initial index value will not further increase the return on the notes.

The market price of the notes w ill be influenced by many unpredictable factors. Several factors will influence
the value of the notes in the secondary market and the price at which MS & Co. may be willing to purchase or sell the notes in
the secondary market, including the value of the underlying index at any time and, in particular, on the determination date, the
volatility (frequency and magnitude of changes in value) of the underlying index, dividend rate on the stocks underlying the
index, interest and yield rates in the market, time remaining until the notes mature, geopolitical conditions and economic,
financial, political, regulatory or judicial events that affect the underlying index or equities markets generally and which may
affect the final index value of the underlying index 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 notes will be affected by the other factors
described above. The value of the underlying index may be, and has recently been, volatile, and we can give you no assurance
that the volatility will lessen. See "S&P 500® Index Overview" below. You may receive less, and possibly significantly less, than
the stated principal amount per note if you try to sell your notes prior to maturity.

The notes 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 not e s. You are dependent on our ability to pay all
amounts due on the notes at maturity and therefore you are subject to our credit risk. The notes are not guaranteed by any
other entity. If we default on our obligations under the notes, your investment would be at risk and you could lose some or all of
your investment. As a result, the market value of the notes 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 notes.

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,
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.
https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/895421/000095010320000045/dp118672_424b2-ps2915.htm[1/2/2020 3:48:24 PM]



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

in market conditions or any other relevant factors, the prices, if any, at which dealers, including MS & Co., may be willing to
purchase the notes 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 notes in the original issue price and the lower rate we
are willing to pay as issuer make the economic terms of the notes less favorable to you than they otherwise would be.

However, because the costs associated with issuing, selling, structuring and hedging the notes 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 notes in the
secondary market, absent changes in market conditions, including those related to the underlying index, 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 notes is determined by reference to our pricing and valuation models, w hich
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 notes than those generated by others,
including other dealers in the market, if they attempted to value the notes. 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 notes 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 notes will be influenced by many unpredictable factors" above.

Adjustments to the underlying index could adversely affect the value of the notes. The publisher of the
underlying index can add, delete or substitute the stocks underlying the index, and can make other methodological changes
required by certain events relating to the underlying stocks, such as stock dividends, stock splits, spin-offs, rights offerings and
extraordinary dividends, that could change the value of the underlying index. Any of these actions could adversely affect the
value of the notes. The publisher of the underlying index may also discontinue or suspend calculation or publication of the
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 index. MS & Co. could have an economic interest that is
different than that of investors in the notes 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 on such determination date, the index closing value on the determination date will be an amount based on the values of
the stocks underlying the discontinued index at the time of such discontinuance, without rebalancing or substitution, computed

by MS & Co, as calculation agent, in accordance with the formula for calculating the index closing value last in effect prior to
discontinuance of the underlying index.

Investing in the notes is not equivalent to investing in the underlying index. Investing in the notes is not
equivalent to investing in the underlying index or its component stocks. As an investor in the notes, 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
index. See "Hypothetical Payout on the Notes" above.

The notes w ill not be listed on any securities exchange and secondary trading may be limited. The notes
will not be listed on any securities exchange. Therefore, there may be little or no secondary market for the notes. MS & Co.
may, but is not obligated to, make a market in the notes 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 notes, 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 notes. Even if there is a secondary market, it may not provide enough liquidity to allow
you to trade or sell the notes easily. Since other broker-dealers may not participate significantly in the secondary market for the
notes, the price at which you may be able to trade your notes 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 notes, it is likely that there would be no
secondary market for the notes. Accordingly, you should be willing to hold your notes to maturity.

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 not e s. As calculation agent, MS & Co. has determined the initial index value, will
determine the final index value and will calculate the amount of cash you will receive at maturity. 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 value in the event of a discontinuance of the underlying index. These potentially subjective determinations may
adversely affect the payout to you at maturity. For further information regarding these types of determinations, see "Description
of Equity-Linked Notes--Supplemental Redemption Amount," "--Calculation Agent and Calculations," "--Alternate Exchange
Calculation in the Case of an Event of Default" and "--Discontinuance of Any Underlying Index; Alteration of Method of
Calculation" in the accompanying product supplement for equity-linked notes. In addition, MS & Co. has determined the
estimated value of the notes on the pricing date.

Hedging and trading activity by our affiliates could potentially adversely affect the value of the notes.
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 notes (and to other instruments linked to the underlying index or its component stocks), including trading in the stocks
that constitute the underlying index as well as in other instruments related to the underlying index. As a result, these entities
may be unwinding or adjusting hedge positions during the term of the notes, and the hedging strategy may involve greater and
more frequent dynamic adjustments to the hedge as the determination date approaches. Some of our affiliates also trade the
stocks that constitute the underlying index and other financial instruments related to the underlying index 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, and, therefore, could have increased the value at or above which the
underlying index must close on the determination date before you would receive at maturity a payment that exceeds the stated
principal amount of the notes. Additionally, such hedging or trading activities during the term of the notes, including on the
determination date, could adversely affect the closing value of the underlying index on the determination date, and, accordingly,
the amount of cash an investor will receive at maturity.

S&P 500® Index Overview

The S&P 500® Index, which is calculated, maintained and published by S&P Dow Jones Indices LLC ("S&P"), consists of stocks of
500 component companies selected to provide a performance benchmark for the U.S. equity markets. The calculation of the S&P
500® Index is based on the relative value of the float adjusted aggregate market capitalization of the 500 component companies as
of a particular time as compared to the aggregate average market capitalization of 500 similar companies during the base period of
the years 1941 through 1943. For additional information about the S&P 500® Index, see the information set forth under "S&P 500®
Index" in the accompanying index supplement.

$1,000 / 100 notes
T a x c onside ra t ions:
In the opinion of our counsel, Davis Polk & Wardwell LLP, the notes should be treated as
"contingent payment debt instruments" for U.S. federal income tax purposes, as described in
the section of the accompanying product supplement called "United States Federal Taxation--
Tax Consequences to U.S. Holders." Under this treatment, if you are a U.S. taxable investor,
you generally will be subject to annual income tax based on the "comparable yield" (as defined
in the accompanying product supplement) of the notes, adjusted upward or downward to reflect
the difference, if any, between the actual and projected amount of the payments on the notes.
