New Issue: Morgan Stanley sells $939,000 contingent income buffered autocalls on ETFs

By Wendy Van Sickle

Columbus, Ohio, Jan. 30 – Morgan Stanley Finance LLC priced $939,000 of contingent income buffered autocallable securities due Feb. 2, 2021 linked to the lesser performing of the SPDR S&P Oil & Gas Exploration & Production exchange-traded fund and the Market Vectors Gold Miners exchange-traded fund, according to a 424B2 filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

The notes are guaranteed by Morgan Stanley.

Each month, the notes will pay a contingent coupon at the rate of 9% per year if each underlier closes at or above its buffer level, 75% of its initial level, on the determination date for that period.

After six months, the notes will be automatically called at par if each underlier closes at or above its initial level on any determination date.

The payout at maturity will be par unless either underlier finishes below its buffer level, in which case investors will lose 1% for every 1% that the lesser-performing underlier declines beyond 25%.

Morgan Stanley & Co. LLC is the agent.
