Structured Investments Morgan Stanley $16,089,000 Market Plus Notes Linked to the S&P 500 ® Index due March 11, 2015 Principal at Risk Securities

General

· The securities are designed for investors who seek to participate in the appreciation of the S&P 500 ® Index and who anticipate that the Index Closing Value on the Averaging Dates and throughout the approximately 18-month Observation Period will not have declined, as compared to the Initial Index Value, by more than 23.60%. Investors should be willing to forgo interest and dividend payments and, if a Knock-Out Event occurs because the Final Index Value or the Index Closing Value on any index business day during the Observation Period has declined, as compared to the Initial Index Value, by more than 23.60%, be willing to lose some or all of their principal based on the decline in value of the Underlying Index over the term of the securities. If the Final Index Value or the value of the Underlying Index on any index business day during the Observation Period has not declined, as compared to the Initial Index Value, by more than 23.60%, investors will receive the greater of (a) the Underlying Index Return and (b) the Contingent Minimum Return of 0% at maturity.

· For purposes of determining whether a Knock-Out Event occurs, the Observation Period starts on and includes the first index business day immediately following the Pricing Date and ends on but excludes the first Averaging Date.

· Unsecured obligations of Morgan Stanley maturing March 11, 2015 † .

· Minimum purchase of $10,000. Minimum denominations of $1,000 and integral multiples thereof.

· The securities priced on September 6, 2013 and are expected to settle on September 11, 2013.

· All payments are subject to the credit risk of Morgan Stanley. If Morgan Stanley defaults on its 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.

Key Terms

Underlying Index:	S&P 500 ® Index
Knock-Out Event:	A Knock-Out Event occurs if the Index Closing Value on any index business day during the Observation Period or the Final Index Value has decreased, as compared to the Initial Index Value, by more than the Knock-Out Buffer Amount (that is, such Index Closing Value or the Final Index Value, as applicable, is less than the Knock-Out Level).
Knock-Out Buffer Amount:	23.60%
Knock-Out Level:	1,264.550, which is approximately 76.40% of the Initial Index Value
Payment at Maturity:	If a Knock-Out Event HAS NOT occurred during the Observation Period or with respect to the Final Index Value , you will receive a cash payment at maturity per security equal to $1,000 plus a return equal to $1,000 times the greater of (i) the Contingent Minimum Return and (ii) the Underlying Index Return. Since the Contingent Minimum Return is 0%, you will receive only the repayment of your principal at maturity, without any positive return on your investment, if the Underlying Index declines in value but without triggering a Knock-Out Event. For additional clarification, please see “What is the Return on the Securities at Maturity Assuming a Range of Performance for the Underlying Index?” beginning on page 3.
	If a Knock-Out Event HAS occurred during the Observation Period or with respect to the Final Index Value , you will receive a cash payment at maturity that will reflect the percentage appreciation or depreciation in the Index Closing Value on a 1 to 1 basis. Under these circumstances, your payment at maturity per $1,000 principal amount security will be calculated as follows: $1,000 + ($1,000 x Underlying Index Return)
	If a Knock-Out Event has occurred, you will lose some or all of your investment if the Final Index Value has declined from the Initial Index Value. There is no minimum payment at maturity and you could lose your entire investment.
Contingent Minimum Return:	0%
Observation Period:	The period that includes each index business day on which a market disruption event does not occur from and including the first index business day immediately following the Pricing Date to but excluding the first Averaging Date.
Monitoring:	Closing Level
Index Closing Value:	On any day, the index closing value for the Underlying Index
Underlying Index Return:	Final Index Value – Initial Index Value Initial Index Value
Initial Index Value:	1,655.17, which is the Index Closing Value on the Pricing Date
Final Index Value:	The arithmetic average of the Index Closing Values on each of the five Averaging Dates.
Averaging Dates: †	March 2, 2015, March 3, 2015, March 4, 2015, March 5, 2015 and March 6, 2015.
Maturity Date:	March 11, 2015 †
Pricing Date:	September 6, 2013
Issue Date:	September 11, 2013
Estimated value on the Pricing Date:	$979.43 per security. See “Additional Terms Specific To The Securities” on page 2.
CUSIP / ISIN:	61761JLH0 / US61761JLH04

Additional Terms Specific to the Securities

You should read this pricing supplement together with the prospectus dated November 21, 2011, as supplemented by the product supplement for knock-out notes dated August 17, 2012 and the index supplement dated November 21, 2011. This pricing supplement, together with the documents listed below, contains the terms of the securities, supplements the preliminary terms related hereto dated September 4, 2013 and supersedes all other prior or contemporaneous oral statements as well as any other written materials including preliminary or indicative pricing terms, correspondence, trade ideas, structures for implementation, sample structures, fact sheets, brochures or other educational materials of ours. You should carefully consider, among other things, the matters set forth in “Risk Factors” in the accompanying product supplement for knock-out notes, as the securities involve risks not associated with conventional debt securities. We urge you to consult your investment, legal, tax, accounting and other advisers in connection with your investment in the securities.

You may access these documents on the SEC website at . ww . w.sec.gov as follows (or if such address has changed, by reviewing our filings for the relevant date on the SEC website):

Terms used in this pricing supplement are defined in the product supplement for knock-out notes, in the index supplement or in the prospectus. As used in this pricing supplement, the “Company,” “we,” “us” or “our” refer to Morgan Stanley.

The original issue price of each security is $1,000. This price includes costs associated with issuing, selling, structuring and hedging the securities, which are borne by you, and, consequently, the estimated value of the securities on the Pricing Date is less than $1,000. We estimate that the value of each security on the Pricing Date is $979.43.

What goes into the estimated value on the Pricing Date?

In valuing the securities on the Pricing Date, we take into account that the securities comprise both a debt component and a performance-based component linked to the Underlying Index. The estimated value of the securities 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 securities?

In determining the economic terms of the securities, 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 securities, such as the Knock-Out Buffer Amount, the Knock-Out Level or the Contingent Minimum Return, would be more favorable to you.

What is the relationship between the estimated value on the Pricing Date and the secondary market price of the securities?

The price at which MS & Co. purchases the securities in the secondary market, absent changes in market conditions, including those related to the Underlying 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 securities are not fully deducted upon issuance, for a period of up to 6 months following the issue date, to the extent that MS & Co. may buy or sell the securities in the secondary market, absent changes in market conditions, including those related to the Underlying 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 securities and, if it once chooses to make a market, may cease doing so at any time.

What is the Return on the Securities at Maturity Assuming a Range of Performance for the Underlying Index?

The following table and graphs illustrate the hypothetical return at maturity on the securities. The “Return on Securities” as used in this pricing supplement is the number, expressed as a percentage, that results from comparing the payment at maturity per $1,000 principal amount security to $1,000. The hypothetical returns set forth below assume an Initial Index Value of 1,600.00, a Knock-Out Level of 1,222.4 (which is 76.40% of the hypothetical Initial Index Value) and reflect the Contingent Minimum Return of 0%. The actual Initial Index Value and Knock-Out Level are set forth on the cover page of this pricing supplement. The hypothetical returns set forth below are for illustrative purposes only and may not reflect the actual returns applicable to a purchaser of the securities.

Hypothetical Examples of Amounts Payable at Maturity

The following examples illustrate how the return on the securities set forth in the table on the previous page is calculated.

Example 1: A Knock-Out Event HAS occurred, and the value of the Underlying Index decreases from the Initial Index Value of 1,600 to a Final Index Value of 960 . Because a Knock-Out Event has occurred, the investor does not receive the benefit of the Contingent Minimum Return of 0% and is therefore exposed to the negative performance of the Underlying Index on a 1 to 1 basis. The investor receives a payment at maturity based on the Underlying Index Return of –40%, which is significantly less than the stated principal amount, calculated as follows:

$1,000 + ($1,000 x –40%) = $600

Example 2: A Knock-Out Event HAS occurred, and the value of the Underlying Index increases from the Initial Index Value of 1,600 to a Final Index Value of 1,680 . Because a Knock-Out Event has occurred, the investor receives a payment at maturity based on the Underlying Index Return. The investor receives a payment at maturity based on the Underlying Index Return of 5%, calculated as follows:

$1,000 + ($1,000 x 5%) = $1,050

Example 3: A Knock-Out Event has NOT occurred, and the value of the Underlying Index increases from the Initial Index Value of 1,600 to a Final Index Value of 1,920. Because the Underlying Index Return of 20% is greater than the Contingent Minimum Return of 0%, the investor receives a payment at maturity per $1,000 principal amount security, calculated as follows:

$1,000 + ($1,000 x 20%) = $1,200

Example 4: A Knock-Out Event has NOT occurred, and the value of the Underlying Index decreases from the Initial Index Value of 1,600 to a Final Index Value of 1,520 . Because a Knock-Out Event has not occurred and the Underlying Index Return of -5.00% is less than the Contingent Minimum Return of 0%, the investor receives the benefit of the Contingent Minimum Return and therefore receives a payment at maturity per $1,000 principal amount security, calculated as follows:

$1,000 + ($1,000 x 0%) = $1,000

Selected Purchase Considerations

· APPRECIATION POTENTIAL — The securities provide the opportunity to participate in the appreciation of the Underlying Index at maturity. If a Knock-Out Event HAS NOT occurred , because of the Contingent Minimum Return, you will receive at maturity no less than the $1,000 principal amount for each security. Since the Contingent Minimum Return is 0%, you will receive only the repayment of your principal at maturity, without any positive return on your investment, if the Underlying Index declines in value but without triggering a Knock-Out Event. However, if a Knock-Out Event HAS occurred , you could lose a significant portion or all of your investment based on a 1% loss for every 1% decline in the Final Index Value, as compared to the Initial Index Value. A Knock-Out Event will occur if either (a) the Index Closing Value on any index business day during the Observation Period or (b) the Final Index Value has decreased, as compared to the Initial Index Value, by more than the Knock-Out Buffer Amount. Even if a Knock-Out Event has occurred, if the Final Index Value is greater than the Initial Index Value, in addition to the principal amount, you will receive at maturity a return on the securities equal to the Underlying Index Return. Because the securities are our unsecured obligations, payment of any amount at maturity is subject to our ability to pay our obligations as they become due.

· SECURITIES LINKED TO THE S&P 500 ® Index — The return on the securities is linked to the S&P 500 ® Index. The S&P 500 ® Index, which is calculated, maintained and published by Standard & Poor's Financial Services LLC ("S&P"), consists of 500 component stocks 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 the 500 similar companies during the base period of the years 1941 through 1943. For additional information about the Underlying Index, see the information set forth under “S&P 500 ® Index” in the accompanying index supplement dated November 21, 2011.

· CAPITAL GAINS TAX TREATMENT – You should review carefully the section entitled “United States Federal Taxation” in the accompanying product supplement for knock-out notes. Although there is uncertainty regarding the U.S. federal income tax consequences of an investment in the securities due to the lack of governing authority, in the opinion of our counsel, Davis Polk & Wardwell LLP, under current law, and based on current market conditions, a security should be treated as a single financial contract that is an “open transaction” for U.S. federal income tax purposes. Assuming this treatment of the securities is respected, your gain or loss on the securities should be treated as long-term capital gain or loss if you hold the securities for more than a year, even if you are an initial purchaser of securities at a price that is below the principal amount of the securities. The Internal Revenue Service (the “IRS”) or a court, however, may not respect this characterization or treatment of the securities, in which case the timing and character of any income or loss on the securities could be significantly and adversely affected. For example, under one possible treatment, the IRS could seek to recharacterize the securities as debt instruments. In that event, you would be required to accrue into income original issue discount on the securities every year at a “comparable yield” determined at the time of issuance and recognize all income and gain in respect of the securities as ordinary income. Because the securities provide for the return of principal except in the case of a Knock-Out Event, the risk that the securities would be recharacterized, for U.S. federal income tax purposes, as debt instruments giving rise to ordinary income, rather than as open transactions, is higher than with other equity-linked securities that do not contain similar provisions. In 2007, the U.S. Treasury Department and the IRS released a notice requesting comments on the U.S. federal income tax treatment of “prepaid forward contracts” and similar instruments. The notice focuses on whether to require holders of instruments such as the securities to accrue income over the term of their investment. It also asks for comments on a number of related topics, including the character of income or loss with respect to these instruments; whether short-term instruments should be subject to any such accrual regime; the relevance of factors such as exchange-traded status of the instruments and the nature of the underlying property to which the instruments are linked; the degree, if any, to which any income (including any mandated accruals) realized by non-U.S. holders should be subject to withholding tax; and whether these investments are or should be subject to the “constructive ownership” rule, which very generally can operate to recharacterize certain long-term capital gains as ordinary income and impose an interest charge. While the notice requests comments on appropriate transition rules and effective dates, Treasury regulations or other forms of guidance, if any, issued after consideration of these issues could materially and adversely affect the tax consequences of this kind of investment, possibly with retroactive effect. You should consult your tax adviser regarding the treatment of the securities, including possible alternative characterizations in general and the possible impact of this notice in particular. Additionally, any consequences resulting from the Medicare tax on investment income are not discussed in this document or the accompanying product supplement for knock-out notes.

The discussion in the preceding paragraph under “Capital Gains Tax Treatment” and the section entitled “United States Federal Taxation” in the accompanying product supplement for knock-out notes, 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 securities.

Selected Risk Considerations

An investment in the securities involves significant risks. Investing in the securities is not equivalent to investing directly in the Underlying Index or any of the component stocks of the Underlying Index. These risks are explained in more detail in the “Risk Factors” section of the accompanying product supplement for knock-out notes dated August 17, 2012.

· YOUR INVESTMENT IN THE SECURITIES MAY RESULT IN A LOSS — The terms of the securities differ from those of ordinary debt securities in that we do not guarantee to pay you the principal amount of the securities at maturity and do not pay you interest on the securities. If a Knock-Out Event occurs either during the approximately 18-month Observation Period or with respect to the Final Index Value, you will lose the benefit of the Contingent Minimum Return and be fully exposed to any depreciation in the Final Index Value as compared to the Initial Index Value on a 1 to 1 basis. If a Knock-Out Event has occurred and the Final Index Value is less than the Initial Index Value, the payment at maturity on each security will be less, and may be significantly less, than the stated principal amount of the securities and consequently, the entire principal amount of your investment is at risk.

· THE SECURITIES DO NOT PAY INTEREST – Unlike ordinary debt securities, the securities do not pay interest and do not guarantee any return of principal at maturity.

· NO DIVIDEND PAYMENTS OR VOTING RIGHTS – As a holder of the securities, you will not have voting rights or rights to receive cash dividends or other distributions or other rights that holders of securities composing the Underlying Index would have.

· THE SECURITIES 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 SECURITIES – You are dependent on Morgan Stanley’s ability to pay all amounts due on the securities at maturity, and therefore you are subject to the credit risk of Morgan Stanley. If Morgan Stanley defaults on its obligations under the securities, your investment would be at risk and you could lose some or all of your investment. As a result, the market value of the securities prior to maturity will be affected by changes in the market’s view of 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 securities.

· MANY ECONOMIC AND MARKET FACTORS WILL IMPACT THE VALUE OF THE SECURITIES — The value of the securities will be affected by a number of economic and market factors that may either offset or magnify each other, including:

· the value, especially in relation to the Knock-Out Level, and the actual or expected volatility, of the Underlying Index;

· the time to maturity of the securities;

· the dividend rates on the common stocks underlying the Underlying Index;

· interest and yield rates in the market generally;

· geopolitical conditions and a variety of economic, financial, political, regulatory or judicial events; and

· our creditworthiness, including actual or anticipated downgrades in our credit ratings or credit spreads.

Some or all of these factors will influence the price that you will receive if you sell your securities prior to maturity. For example, you may have to sell your securities at a substantial discount from the stated principal amount if a Knock-Out Event has occurred or is likely to imminently occur in light of the then-current level of the Underlying Index.

You cannot predict the future performance of the Underlying Index based on its historical performance. We cannot guarantee that a Knock-Out Event will not occur or that the Underlying Index Return will be positive so that you will receive at maturity an amount in excess of the principal amount of the securities. You can review the historical values of the Underlying Index in “Historical Information” below.

· 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 ORIGINAL ISSUE PRICE REDUCE THE ECONOMIC TERMS OF THE SECURITIES, CAUSE THE ESTIMATED VALUE OF THE SECURITIES 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 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.

7

The inclusion of the costs of issuing, selling, structuring and hedging the securities in the original issue price and the lower rate we are willing to pay as issuer make the economic terms of the securities less favorable to you than they otherwise would be.

However, because the costs associated with issuing, selling, structuring and hedging the securities are not fully deducted upon issuance, for a period of up to 6 months following the issue date, to the extent that MS & Co. may buy or sell the securities in the secondary market, absent changes in market conditions, including those related to the Underlying 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 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 Pricing Date does not represent a minimum or maximum price at which dealers, including MS & Co., would be willing 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 will vary based on many factors that cannot be predicted with accuracy, including our creditworthiness and changes in market conditions. See also “Many economic and market factors will impact the value of the securities” above.

· LACK OF LIQUIDITY – The securities will not be listed on any securities exchange. Therefore, there may be little or no secondary market for the securities. Morgan Stanley & Co. LLC (“MS & Co.”) may, but is not obligated to, make a market in the securities and, if it once chooses to make a market, may cease doing so at any time. When it does make a market, it will generally do so for transactions of routine secondary market size at prices based on its estimate of the current value of the securities, taking into account its bid/offer spread, our credit spreads, market volatility, the notional size of the proposed sale, the cost of unwinding any related hedging positions, the time remaining to maturity and the likelihood that it will be able to resell the securities. Even if there is a secondary market, it may not provide enough liquidity to allow you to trade or sell the securities easily. Since other broker-dealers may not participate significantly in the secondary market for the securities, the price at which you may be able to trade your securities is likely to depend on the price, if any, at which MS & Co. is willing to transact. If, at any time, MS & Co. were to cease making a market in the securities, it is likely that there would be no secondary market for the securities. Accordingly, you should be willing to hold your securities to maturity.

· POTENTIAL CONFLICTS – We and our affiliates play a variety of roles in connection with the issuance of the securities, including acting as calculation agent and hedging our obligations under the securities. In performing these duties, the economic interests of the calculation agent and other affiliates of ours are potentially adverse to your interests as an investor in the securities. We will not have any obligation to consider your interests as a holder of the securities in taking any corporate action that might affect the value of the Underlying Index and the securities. In addition, MS & Co. has determined the estimated value of the securities on the Pricing Date.

· HEDGING AND TRADING ACTIVITY BY OUR SUBSIDIARIES COULD POTENTIALLY ADVERSELY AFFECT THE VALUE OF THE SECURITIES – 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 securities (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. Some of our subsidiaries 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 Level and, therefore, could have increased the value at or above which the Underlying Index must close on each index business day during the Observation Period and the value at or above which the Final Index Value must be so that a Knock-Out Event does not occur which could cause investors to suffer a loss on their initial investment in the securities.

Use of Proceeds and Hedging

The proceeds we receive from the sale of the securities will be used for general corporate purposes. We will receive, in aggregate, $1,000 per security issued, because, when we enter into hedging transactions in order to meet our obligations under the securities, our hedging counterparty will reimburse the cost of the Agent’s commissions. The costs of the securities borne by you and described on page 2 above comprise the Agent’s commissions and the cost of issuing, structuring and hedging the securities.

On or prior to the Pricing Date, we hedged our anticipated exposure in connection with the securities by entering into hedging transactions with our subsidiaries and/or third party dealers. We expect our hedging counterparties to have taken positions in stocks of the Underlying Index, in futures and/or options contracts on the Underlying Index or any 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 each index business day during the Observation Period and the value at or above which the Final Index Value must be so that a Knock-Out Event does not occur which could cause investors to suffer a loss on their initial investment in the securities. In addition, through our subsidiaries, we are likely to modify our hedge position throughout the life of the securities, including on the Averaging Dates, 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 securities or the payment you will receive at maturity, if any.

Historical Information

The following graph sets forth the historical performance of the S&P 500 ® Index based on the daily historical closing values of the Underlying Index from January 1, 2008 through September 6, 2013. The closing value of the Underlying Index on September 6, 2013 was 1,655.17. We obtained the closing values of the Underlying Index below from Bloomberg Financial Markets. We make no representation or warranty as to the accuracy or completeness of the information obtained from Bloomberg Financial Markets.

The historical values of the Underlying Index should not be taken as an indication of future performance, and no assurance can be given as to the Index Closing Value during the Observation Period or on any of the Averaging Dates. We cannot give you any assurance that the Index Closing Value will increase or that a Knock-Out Event will not occur so that at maturity you will receive a payment in excess of the stated principal amount of the securities.

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 securities. 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 securities 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 securities 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 securities. 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 securities.

Because we may be considered a party in interest with respect to many Plans, the securities 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 securities will be deemed to have represented, in its corporate and its fiduciary capacity, by its purchase and holding of the securities that either (a) it is not a Plan or a Plan Asset Entity and is not purchasing such securities 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 securities on behalf of or with “plan assets” of any Plan consult with their counsel regarding the availability of exemptive relief.

The securities are contractual financial instruments. The financial exposure provided by the securities is not a substitute or proxy for, and is not intended as a substitute or proxy for, individualized investment management or advice for the benefit of any purchaser or holder of the securities. The securities have not been designed and will not be administered in a manner intended to reflect the individualized needs and objectives of any purchaser or holder of the securities.

Each purchaser or holder of any securities acknowledges and agrees that:

(i) the purchaser or holder or its fiduciary has made and shall make all investment decisions for the purchaser or holder and the purchaser or holder has not relied and shall not rely in any way upon us or our affiliates to act as a fiduciary or adviser of the purchaser or holder with respect to (A) the design and terms of the securities, (B) the purchaser or holder’s investment in the securities, or (C) the exercise of or failure to exercise any rights we have under or with respect to the securities;

(ii) we and our affiliates have acted and will act solely for our own account in connection with (A) all transactions relating to the securities and (B) all hedging transactions in connection with our obligations under the securities;

(iii) any and all assets and positions relating to hedging transactions by us or our affiliates are assets and positions of those entities and are not assets and positions held for the benefit of the purchaser or holder;

(iv) our interests are adverse to the interests of the purchaser or holder; and

(v) neither we nor any of our affiliates is a fiduciary or adviser of the purchaser or holder in connection with any such assets, positions or transactions, and any information that we or any of our affiliates may provide is not intended to be impartial investment advice.

Each purchaser and holder of the securities has exclusive responsibility for ensuring that its purchase, holding and disposition of the securities do not violate the prohibited transaction rules of ERISA or the Code or any Similar Law. The sale of any securities 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 securities 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 securities by the account, plan or annuity.
