Dual Directional Buffered Participation Securities Based on the Value of the Worst Performing of the S&P

Princ ipa l a t Risk Se c urit ie s
The Dual Directional Buffered Participation Securities, or "Buffered Securities," are unsecured obligations of Morgan Stanley
Finance LLC ("MSFL") and are fully and unconditionally guaranteed by Morgan Stanley. The Buffered Securities will pay no
interest, provide a minimum payment at maturity of only 15% of the stated principal amount and have the terms described in the
accompanying product supplement for participation securities, index supplement and prospectus, as supplemented or modified by
this document. The payment at maturity on the Buffered Securities will be based on the value of the worst performing of the S&P
500® Index and the Russell 2000® Index. 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 a return reflecting 100% of
the upside performance of the worst performing underlying index. If the final index value of e it he r 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
85% of its respective initial index value, meaning that ne it he r underlying index has decreased from its initial index value by an
amount greater than the buffer amount of 15%, investors will receive the stated principal amount of their investment plus a positive
return based on the absolute value of the performance of the worst performing underlying index, which will be inherently limited to
a maximum return of 15%. However, if the final index value of e it he r underlying index is le ss t ha n 85% of its respective initial
index value, meaning that e it he r underlying index has decreased from its respective initial index value by an amount greater than
the buffer amount of 15%, the absolute return feature will no longer be available and instead 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 15% of the stated principal amount. Investors may lose up to 85% of the stated principal amount of the Buffered Securities.
Because the payment at maturity of the Buffered Securities is based on the worst performing of the underlying indices, a decline in
e it he r underlying index beyond the buffer amount will result in a loss, and potentially a significant loss, of your investment even if
the other underlying index has appreciated or has not declined as much. The Buffered 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 buffer and absolute return features that in each case apply to a limited range of
performance of the worst performing underlying index. The Buffered Securities are notes issued as part of MSFL's Series A Global
Medium-Term Notes program.
The Buffered Securities differ from the Participation Securities described in the accompanying product supplement for Participation
Securities in that the Buffered Securities offer the potential for a positive return at maturity if the worst performing underlying index
depreciates by up to 15%.

The Dual Directional Buffered Participation Securities Based on the Value of the Worst Performing of the S&P 500® Index and the
Russell 2000® Index due March 30, 2023 (the "Buffered Securities") can be used:

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

To obtain a positive return for a limited range of negative performance of the worst performing underlying index

If the final index value of e it he r underlying index is le ss t ha n 85% 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.

M a t urit y:
Approximately 3 years
M inim um pa ym e nt a t m a t urit y: $150 per Buffered Security (15% of the stated principal amount). Investors
may lose up to 85% of the stated principal amount of the Buffered Securities.
Buffe r a m ount :
15%, with 1-to-1 downside exposure to the worst performing underlying index
below the buffer
Coupon:
None
List ing:
The Buffered Securities will not be listed on any securities exchange

The original issue price of each Buffered Security is $1,000. This price includes costs associated with issuing, selling, structuring
and hedging the Buffered Securities, which are borne by you, and, consequently, the estimated value of the Buffered Securities on
the pricing date is less than $1,000. We estimate that the value of each Buffered Security on the pricing date is $930.30.

What goes into the estimated value on the pricing date?

In valuing the Buffered Securities on the pricing date, we take into account that the Buffered Securities comprise both a debt
component and a performance-based component linked to the underlying indices. The estimated value of the Buffered Securities is
determined using our own pricing and valuation models, market inputs and assumptions relating to the underlying indices,
https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/895421/000095010320006230/dp124905_424b2-ps3508.htm[3/30/2020 11:33:34 AM]

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 Securities?

In determining the economic terms of the Buffered Securities, including 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 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 Buffered
Securities?

The price at which MS & Co. purchases the Buffered 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 Buffered 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 Buffered 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 Buffered Securities, and, if it once chooses to make a market, may
cease doing so at any time.

The Buffered Securities offer the potential for a positive return at maturity based on the absolute value of a limited range of
percentage changes of the worst performing underlying index. 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 a return
reflecting 100% of the upside performance of the worst performing underlying index. If the final index value of e it he r underlying

return on the worst performing underlying index. For example, if the final index value of the worst

performing underlying index is 10% less than its respective initial index value, the Buffered Securities will
provide a total positive return of 10% at maturity. The maximum return you may receive in this scenario is a
positive 15% return at maturity
The final index value of e it he r underlying index is le ss t ha n 85% of its respective initial index value. In
this case, the Buffered Securities 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 Sc e na rio Buffered Securities, plus the buffer amount of 15%. For example, if the final index value of the worst
performing underlying index is 70% less than its initial index value, the Buffered Securities will be
redeemed at maturity for a loss of 55% of principal at $450, or 45% of the stated principal amount. T he

Because the payment at maturity of the Buffered Securities is based on the worst performing of the underlying indices, a decline in
e it he r underlying index to less than 85% of its respective initial index value will result in a loss, and potentially a significant loss,
of your investment, even if the other underlying index has appreciated or has not declined as much.

Hypothetical Examples

The following hypothetical examples illustrate how to calculate the payment at maturity on the Buffered Securities. 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
document. Any payment at maturity on the Buffered Securities is subject to our credit risk. The below examples are based on the
following terms:

SPX Index: (2,200 2,000) / 2,000 = 10%
RTY Index: (1,540 1,100) / 1,100 = 40%
Payment at maturity
=
$1,000 + ($1,000 × index percent change of the worst performing
underlying index)

=
$1,000 + ($1,000 × 10%)

=
$1,100

In example 1, the final index values of both the SPX Index and RTY Index are greater than their initial index values. The SPX
Index has appreciated by 10% while the RTY Index has appreciated by 40%. Therefore, investors receive at maturity the stated
principal amount plus 100% of the appreciation of the worst performing underlying index, which is the SPX Index in this example.
Investors receive $1,100 per Buffered Security at maturity.

In example 2, the final index values of both the SPX Index and RTY Index are greater than their initial index values. The SPX
Index has appreciated by 70% while the RTY Index has appreciated by 60%. Therefore, investors receive at maturity the stated
principal amount plus 100% of the appreciation of the worst performing underlying index, which is the RTY Index in this example.
Investors receive $1,600 per Buffered Security at maturity.

In example 3, the final index value of the SPX Index is greater than its respective initial index value, while the final index value of
the RTY Index is less than its respective initial index value. The SPX Index has appreciated by 40%, while the RTY index has
declined by 10%, but neither underlying index has decreased from its initial index value by an amount greater than the buffer
amount of 15%. Therefore, investors receive at maturity the stated principal amount plus a return reflecting the absolute value of
the performance of the worst performing underlying index, which is the RTY Index in this example. Investors receive $1,100 per
Buffered Security at maturity. In this example, investors receive a positive return even though one of the underlying indices has
declined in value by 10%, due to the absolute return feature of the Buffered Securities and because neither underlying index has
declined to below 85% of its initial index value.

In example 4, the final index value of the SPX Index is greater than its respective initial index value, while the final index value of

In example 5, the final index value of each underlying index is less than its respective initial index value, but neither underlying
index has decreased from its initial index value by an amount greater than the buffer amount of 15%. The SPX index has declined
by 14% while the RTY Index has declined by 10%. Therefore, investors receive at maturity the stated principal amount plus a return
reflecting the absolute value of the performance of the worst performing underlying index, which is the SPX Index in this example.
Investors receive $1,140 per Buffered Security at maturity.

In example 6, the final index values of both the SPX Index and the RTY Index are less than their respective initial index values by
an amount greater than the buffer amount of 15%. The SPX index has declined by 70% while the RTY Index has declined by 60%.
Therefore, investors lose the benefit of the absolute return feature and instead are instead exposed to the negative performance of
the SPX Index, which is the worst performing underlying index in this example, beyond the buffer amount of 15%, and receive a
payment at maturity of $450 per Buffered Security.

Risk Factors

The following is a non-exhaustive list of certain key risk factors for investors in the Buffered Securities. For further discussion of
these and other risks, you should read the section entitled "Risk Factors" in the accompanying product supplement for participation
securities, 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 Securities.

The Buffered Securities do not pay interest and provide a minimum payment at maturity of only 15% of
t he st a t e d princ ipa l a m ount . The terms of the Buffered Securities differ from those of ordinary debt securities in that the
Buffered Securities do not pay interest and provide a minimum payment at maturity of only 15% of the stated principal amount
of the Buffered Securities. If the final index value of e it he r underlying index is le ss t ha n 85% of its initial index value, the
absolute return feature will no longer be available and you will instead receive for each Buffered Security that you hold a
payment at maturity that is less than the stated principal amount of each Buffered Security by an amount proportionate to the
decline in the value of the worst performing underlying index from its initial index value, plus $150 per Buffered Security.
Ac c ordingly, inve st ors m a y lose up t o 8 5 % of t he st a t e d princ ipa l a m ount of t he Buffe re d Se c urit ie s.

You are exposed to the price risk of both underlying indices. Your return on the Buffered 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 either underlying index declines to below 85% 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
index has appreciated or has not declined as much. Accordingly, your investment is subject to the price risk of both underlying
indices.

Because the Buffered Securities are linked to the performance of the w orst performing underlying
inde x , 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
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 loss on your investment is greater
if you invest in the Buffered 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 either underlying index will decline to below 85% of its
initial index value as of the valuation date than if the Buffered Securities 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 Securities w ill be influenced by many unpredictable factors. Several
factors will influence the value of the Buffered Securities in the secondary market and the price at which MS & Co. may be
willing to purchase or sell the Buffered Securities 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 Securities mature, geopolitical
conditions and economic, financial, political, regulatory or judicial events and any actual or anticipated changes in our credit
ratings or credit spreads. 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 "S&P 500® Index Overview" and "Russell 2000® Index Overview" below. You may
receive less, and possibly significantly less, than the stated principal amount per Buffered Security if you try to sell your
Buffered Securities prior to maturity.

The Buffered Securities are subject to our credit risk, and any actual or anticipated changes to our
c re dit 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 Se c urit ie s. You are
dependent on our ability to pay all amounts due on the Buffered Securities at maturity and therefore you are subject to our
credit risk. If we default on its obligations under the Buffered 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 Buffered 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 Buffered
Securities.

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.

The Buffered Securities are linked to the Russell 2000® Index and are subject to risks associated w ith
sm a ll -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 Buffered 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.

The amount payable on the Buffered Securities is not linked to the values of the underlying indices at
a ny 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 both underlying indices appreciate prior to the valuation date but the value of e it he r underlying
index drops by the valuation date to less than 85% of its initial index value, 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 Securities
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 Securities is not equivalent to investing in either underlying index. Investing in
the Buffered Securities is not equivalent to investing in either underlying index or the component stocks of either underlying
index. As an investor in the Buffered Securities, you will not have voting rights or rights to receive dividends or other
distributions or any other rights with respect to stocks that constitute either underlying index.

Adjustments to the underlying indices could adversely affect the value of the Buffered Securities. The
publisher of either 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 either 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.

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

However, because the costs associated with issuing, selling, structuring and hedging the Buffered 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 Buffered 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 Buffered Securities is determined by reference to our pricing and valuation

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 Buffered Securities than those generated by others, including
other dealers in the market, if they attempted to value the Buffered 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
Buffered Securities in the secondary market (if any exists) at any time. The value of your Buffered 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 Buffered Securities will be influenced by
many unpredictable factors" above.

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

Hedging and trading activity by our affiliates could potentially adversely affect the value of the Buffered
Se c urit ie s. One or more of our affiliates and/or third-party dealers expect to carry out hedging activities related to the
Buffered Securities (and possibly 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 Buffered 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
