By Sarah Lizee

Olympia, Wash., Oct. 4 – Morgan Stanley Finance LLC priced $1.1 million of 0% buffered Performance Leveraged Upside Securities due Sept. 30, 2021 linked to the worse performing of the iShares MSCI Emerging Markets ETF and the iShares MSCI EAFE ETF, according to a 424B2 filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
