Norfolk, Va., Aug. 12 – Morgan Stanley priced $5.5 million of 5.75% fixed-income buffered securities due Nov. 14, 2016 linked to the lesser performing of the iShares Russell 2000 exchange-traded fund and the MSCI EAFE exchange-traded fund, according to a 424B2 filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
