Investment Summary

Market-Linked Notes

The Market-Linked Notes due September 28, 2018 Based on the Average Value on Quarterly Determination Dates of the Dow Jones Industrial Average SM (the “notes”) offer the potential for a supplemental redemption amount at maturity based on the average performance of the underlying index as determined on the twenty quarterly determination dates over the term of the notes. The notes provide investors:

¡ an opportunity to gain exposure to the Dow Jones Industrial Average SM

¡ the repayment of principal at maturity

¡ The averaging feature means that any positive return on the notes will be based on the average of the index closing values of the underlying index on 20 determination dates that occur each quarter during the term of the notes.

¡ no exposure to any decline of the average index value below the initial index value if the notes are held to maturity

At maturity, if the average index percent change is less than or equal to zero, you will receive the stated principal amount of $10 per note, without any return on your investment. All payments on the notes, including the repayment of principal at maturity, are subject to the credit risk of Morgan Stanley.

Maturity: Approximately 5 years
Participation rate: 100%
Interest: None

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 $9.3275.

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 the implied interest rate at which our conventional fixed rate debt trades in the secondary market (the “secondary market credit spread”).

What determines the economic terms of the notes?

In determining the economic terms of the notes, 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 terms of the notes, such as the participation rate, 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,

September 2013 Page 2

Market-Linked Notes due September 28, 2018 Based on the Average Value on Quarterly Determination Dates of the Dow Jones Industrial Average SM

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 with Averaging Feature offer investors exposure to the performance of the underlying index 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 are willing to forgo current income in exchange for the repayment of principal at maturity plus a supplemental redemption amount, if any, based on an average of the index closing values on the twenty determination dates.

Repayment of Principal The notes offer investors a 1 to 1 exposure to any positive average performance of the underlying index on the twenty determination dates, while providing for the repayment of principal in full at maturity.
Upside Scenario The a rithmetic average of the index closing values on the twenty determination dates is greater than the initial index value and, at maturity, the notes pay the stated principal amount of $10 plus 100% of the positive percent change from the initial index value to the average index value . Although investors can benefit from the averaging feature when the underlying index appreciates during the term of the notes but drops at maturity, the averaging feature can also reduce upside performance of the notes in bullish markets.
Par Scenario The average index value is less than or equal to the initial index value, and, at maturity, the notes pay only the stated principal amount of $10.

September 2013 Page 4

Market-Linked Notes due September 28, 2018 Based on the Average Value on Quarterly Determination Dates of the Dow Jones Industrial Average SM

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. The supplemental redemption amount will be calculated as follows:

supplemental redemption amount = $10 x average index percent change x 100% In no event will the supplement redemption amount be less than zero.
where
average index percent change = (average index value – initial index value ) / initial index value
average index value = the arithmetic average of the index closing values on the twenty specified determination dates over the term of the notes

In no event will the payment at maturity be less than $10 per note.

The table below illustrates the payment at maturity for each note for a hypothetical range of average index percent change and does not cover the complete range of possible payouts at maturity. The table assumes a hypothetical initial index value of 15 ,000. The actual initial index value is set forth on the cover of this document.

The average index value is the arithmetic average of the index closing values on twenty quarterly determination dates over the term of the notes. Because there are 20 determination dates spread over approximately 5 years, positive performances of the underlying index at one time may be offset by lesser performances at other times. See “Risk Factors─The supplemental redemption amount, if any, is based on the arithmetic average of the index closing values on the twenty determination dates over the term of the notes and therefore the payment at maturity may be less than if it were based solely on the index closing value on the final determination date” below.

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 the accompanying prospectus. You should also consult with 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 average index percent change is less than or equal to zero, 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 average index value is not sufficiently higher than the initial index value, 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 the issuer 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 average performance of the underlying index on the twenty quarterly determination dates over the term of the notes.

¡ The supplemental redemption amount, if any, is based on the arithmetic average of the index closing values on the twenty determination dates over the term of the notes and therefore the payment at maturity may be less than if it were based solely on the index closing value on the final determination date. The supplemental redemption amount, if any, will be calculated by reference to an average of the index closing values on the twenty determination dates over the term of the notes. Therefore, in calculating the average index value at maturity, positive performances of the underlying index on some determination dates may be moderated, or wholly offset, by lesser or negative performances on other determination dates. Similarly, the average index value may be less than the index closing value on the final determination date, and as a result, the payment at maturity you receive may be less than if it were based solely on the index closing value on the final determination date. Investing in the notes is not the same as investing in notes that offer 1 to 1 upside exposure to the performance of the underlying index.

¡ The market price of the notes will be influenced by many unpredictable factors. Several factors, many of which are beyond our control, 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 each of the determination dates, 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 index closing value of the underlying index on any determination date and any actual or anticipated changes in our credit ratings or credit spreads. 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 “Dow Jones Industrial Average SM 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 the credit risk of Morgan Stanley, and any actual or anticipated changes to its credit ratings or credit spreads may adversely affect the market value of the notes. You are dependent on Morgan Stanley’s ability to pay all amounts due on the notes at maturity and therefore you are subject to the credit risk of Morgan Stanley. The notes are not guaranteed by any other entity. If Morgan Stanley defaults on its 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 Morgan Stanley’s creditworthiness. Any actual or anticipated decline in Morgan Stanley’s credit ratings or increase in the credit spreads charged by the market for taking Morgan Stanley credit risk is likely to adversely affect the market value of the notes.

¡ 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 notes in the original issue price reduce the economic terms of the notes, cause the estimated value of the notes to be less than the original 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 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.

September 2013 Page 6

Market-Linked Notes due September 28, 2018 Based on the Average Value on Quarterly Determination Dates of the Dow Jones Industrial Average SM

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, 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 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 pricing supplement 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 any determination date, the index closing value on such determination date will be an amount based on 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 index.

¡ You have no shareholder rights. 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 the stocks that underlie the 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. See “Hypothetical Payout on the Notes” above.

¡ The notes will 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, which is a subsidiary of the issuer, will make determinations with respect to the notes. As calculation agent, MS & Co. has determined the initial index value, will determine the index closing value on each determination date and the average index value, and will calculate the amount of cash you will receive at maturity. Determinations made by MS & Co. in its capacity as calculation agent, including 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 or a market

September 2013 Page 7

Market-Linked Notes due September 28, 2018 Based on the Average Value on Quarterly Determination Dates of the Dow Jones Industrial Average SM

disruption event, may adversely affect the payout to you at maturity. In addition, MS & Co. has determined the estimated value of the notes on the pricing date.

¡ Hedging and trading activity by our subsidiaries could potentially adversely affect the value of the notes. One or more of our subsidiaries 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 component stocks of the underlying index and in other instruments related to the underlying index. Some of our subsidiaries also trade the component stocks of 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 dates before an investor receives a payment at maturity that exceeds the stated principal amount of the notes. Additionally, such hedging or trading activities during the term of the notes, including on any determination date, could adversely affect the closing value of the underlying index on such determination date and, accordingly, the amount of cash an investor will receive at maturity.

Tax considerations: In the opinion of our counsel, Davis Polk & Wardwell LLP, the notes will 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, even though no interest is payable on the notes. In addition, any gain recognized by U.S. taxable investors on the sale or exchange, or at maturity, of the notes generally will be treated as ordinary income. We have determined that the “comparable yield” for the notes is a rate of 2.7812% per annum, compounded semi-annually. Based on the comparable yield set forth above, the “projected payment schedule” for a note (assuming an issue price of $10) consists of a single projected amount equal to $11.4769 due at maturity. You should read the discussion under “United States Federal Taxation” in the accompanying product supplement concerning the U.S. federal income tax consequences of an investment in the notes.
The following table states the amount of original issue discount (“OID”) (without taking into account any adjustment to reflect the difference, if any, between the actual and the projected amount of the contingent payment on a note) that will be deemed to have accrued with respect to a note for each accrual period (assuming a day count convention of 30 days per month and 360 days per year), based upon the comparable yield set forth above.
ACCRUAL PERIOD OID DEEMED TO ACCRUE DURING ACCRUAL PERIOD (PER NOTE) TOTAL OID DEEMED TO HAVE ACCRUED FROM ORIGINAL ISSUE DATE (PER NOTE) AS OF END OF ACCRUAL PERIOD
Original Issue Date through December 31, 2013 $0.0672 $0.0672
January 1, 2014 through June 30, 2014 $0.1400 $0.2072
July 1, 2014 through December 31, 2014 $0.1419 $0.3491
January 1, 2015 through June 30, 2015 $0.1439 $0.4930
July 1, 2015 through December 31, 2015 $0.1459 $0.6389
January 1, 2016 through June 30, 2016 $0.1479 $0.7868
July 1, 2016 through December 31, 2016 $0.1500 $0.9368
January 1, 2017 through June 30, 2017 $0.1521 $1.0889
July 1, 2017 through December 31, 2017 $0.1542 $1.2431
January 1, 2018 through June 30, 2018 $0.1563 $1.3994
July 1, 2018 through the Maturity Date $0.0775 $1.4769

The comparable yield and the projected payment schedule are not provided for any purpose other than the determination of U.S. Holders’ accruals of OID and adjustments thereto in respect of the notes for U.S. federal income tax purposes, and we make no representation regarding the actual amount of the payment that will be made on a note. If you are a non-U.S. investor, please also read the section of the accompanying product

supplement called “United States Federal Taxation—Tax Consequences to Non-U.S. Holders.”
You should consult your tax adviser regarding all aspects of the U.S. federal income tax consequences of an investment in the notes as well as any tax consequences arising under the laws of any state, local or foreign taxing jurisdiction. Any consequences resulting from the Medicare tax on investment income are also not discussed in this document or the accompanying product supplement.
The discussion in the preceding paragraphs under “Tax considerations” and the discussion contained in the section entitled “United States Federal Taxation” in the accompanying product supplement, insofar as they purport to describe provisions of U.S. federal income tax laws or legal conclusions with respect thereto, constitute the full opinion of Davis Polk & Wardwell LLP regarding the material U.S. federal tax consequences of an investment in the notes.
Use of proceeds and hedging: The proceeds we receive from the sale of the notes will be used for general corporate purposes. We will receive, in aggregate, $10 per note issued, because, when we enter into hedging transactions in order to meet our obligations under the notes, our hedging counterparty will reimburse the cost of the Agent’s commissions. The costs of the notes borne by you and described on page 2 above comprise the Agent’s commissions and the cost of issuing, structuring and hedging the notes. On or prior to the pricing date, we hedged our anticipated exposure in connection with the notes by entering into hedging transactions with our subsidiaries and/or third party dealers. We expect our hedging counterparties to have taken positions in the stocks constituting the underlying index and in futures and/or options contracts on the underlying index or the component stocks of the underlying index listed on major securities markets. Such purchase activity could have increased the value of the underlying index on the pricing date, and therefore, could have increased the value at or above which the underlying index must close on the determination dates before you would receive at maturity a payment that exceeds the stated principal amount of the notes. In addition, through our subsidiaries, we are likely to modify our hedge position throughout the life of the notes, including on any determination date, by purchasing and selling the stocks constituting the underlying index, futures or options contracts on the underlying index or its component stocks listed on major securities markets or positions in any other available securities or instruments that we may wish to use in connection with such hedging activities. We cannot give any assurance that our hedging activities will not affect the value of the underlying index and, therefore, adversely affect the value of the notes or the payment you will receive at maturity. For further information on our use of proceeds and hedging, see “Use of Proceeds and Hedging” in the accompanying product supplement.
Benefit plan investor considerations: Each fiduciary of a pension, profit-sharing or other employee benefit plan subject to the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended (“ERISA”) (a “Plan”), should consider the fiduciary standards of ERISA in the context of the Plan’s particular circumstances before authorizing an investment in the notes. Accordingly, among other factors, the fiduciary should consider whether the investment would satisfy the prudence and diversification requirements of ERISA and would be consistent with the documents and instruments governing the Plan. In addition, we and certain of our subsidiaries and affiliates, including MS & Co., may be considered a “party in interest” within the meaning of ERISA, or a “disqualified person” within the meaning of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), with respect to many Plans, as well as many individual retirement accounts and Keogh plans (also “Plans”). ERISA Section 406 and Code Section 4975 generally prohibit transactions between Plans and parties in interest or disqualified persons. Prohibited transactions within the meaning of ERISA or the Code would likely arise, for example, if the notes are acquired by or with the assets of a Plan with respect to which MS & Co. or any of its affiliates is a service provider or other party in interest, unless the notes are acquired pursuant to an exemption from the “prohibited transaction” rules. A violation of these “prohibited transaction” rules could result in an excise tax or other liabilities under ERISA and/or Section 4975 of the Code for such persons, unless exemptive relief is available under an applicable statutory or administrative exemption. The U.S. Department of Labor has issued five prohibited transaction class exemptions (“PTCEs”) that may provide exemptive relief for direct or indirect prohibited transactions resulting from the purchase or holding of the notes. Those class exemptions are PTCE 96-23 (for certain transactions determined by in-house asset managers), PTCE 95-60 (for certain transactions involving insurance company general accounts), PTCE 91-38 (for certain transactions involving bank collective investment funds), PTCE 90-1 (for certain transactions involving insurance company separate accounts) and PTCE 84-14 (for certain transactions

determined by independent qualified professional asset managers). In addition, ERISA Section 408(b)(17) and Section 4975(d)(20) of the Code may provide an exemption for the purchase and sale of securities and the related lending transactions, provided that neither the issuer of the securities nor any of its affiliates has or exercises any discretionary authority or control or renders any investment advice with respect to the assets of the Plan involved in the transaction and provided further that the Plan pays no more, and receives no less, than “adequate consideration” in connection with the transaction (the so-called “service provider” exemption). There can be no assurance that any of these class or statutory exemptions will be available with respect to transactions involving the notes. Because we may be considered a party in interest with respect to many Plans, the notes may not be purchased, held or disposed of by any Plan, any entity whose underlying assets include “plan assets” by reason of any Plan’s investment in the entity (a “Plan Asset Entity”) or any person investing “plan assets” of any Plan, unless such purchase, holding or disposition is eligible for exemptive relief, including relief available under PTCEs 96-23, 95-60, 91-38, 90-1, 84-14 or the service provider exemption or such purchase, holding or disposition is otherwise not prohibited. Any purchaser, including any fiduciary purchasing on behalf of a Plan, transferee or holder of the notes will be deemed to have represented, in its corporate and its fiduciary capacity, by its purchase and holding of the notes that either (a) it is not a Plan or a Plan Asset Entity and is not purchasing such notes on behalf of or with “plan assets” of any Plan or with any assets of a governmental, non-U.S. or church plan that is subject to any federal, state, local or non-U.S. law that is substantially similar to the provisions of Section 406 of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code (“Similar Law”) or (b) its purchase, holding and disposition are eligible for exemptive relief or such purchase, holding and disposition are not prohibited by ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code or any Similar Law. Due to the complexity of these rules and the penalties that may be imposed upon persons involved in non-exempt prohibited transactions, it is particularly important that fiduciaries or other persons considering purchasing the notes on behalf of or with “plan assets” of any Plan consult with their counsel regarding the availability of exemptive relief. Each purchaser and holder of the notes has exclusive responsibility for ensuring that its purchase, holding and disposition of the notes do not violate the prohibited transaction rules of ERISA or the Code or any Similar Law. The sale of any notes to any Plan or plan subject to Similar Law is in no respect a representation by us or any of our affiliates or representatives that such an investment meets all relevant legal requirements with respect to investments by plans generally or any particular plan, or that such an investment is appropriate for plans generally or any particular plan. However, individual retirement accounts, individual retirement annuities and Keogh plans, as well as employee benefit plans that permit participants to direct the investment of their accounts, will not be permitted to purchase or hold the notes if the account, plan or annuity is for the benefit of an employee of Morgan Stanley or Morgan Stanley Wealth Management or a family member and the employee receives any compensation (such as, for example, an addition to bonus) based on the purchase of the notes by the account, plan or annuity.
Additional considerations: Client accounts over which Morgan Stanley, Morgan Stanley Wealth Management or any of their respective subsidiaries have investment discretion are not permitted to purchase the notes, either directly or indirectly.
