New Issue: Morgan Stanley sells $250,000 contingent income autocalls on Dow, Nasdaq, Russell
By Sarah Lizee
Olympia, Wash., Aug. 18 – Morgan Stanley Finance LLC priced $250,000 of contingent income autocallable securities due May 12, 2021 linked to the least performing of the Russell 2000 index, the Nasdaq-100 index and the Dow Jones industrial average, 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 7.75% per year if each index closes at or above its coupon barrier level, 70% of its initial level, on the determination date for that month.
The notes will be automatically called at par if each index closes at or above its initial level on any quarterly determination date.
The payout at maturity will be par unless any index finishes below its 70% downside threshold, in which case investors will lose 1% for every 1% that the least-performing index declines from its initial level.
The agent is Morgan Stanley & Co. LLC.
