By Susanna Moon

Chicago, Oct. 30 – Morgan Stanley Finance LLC priced $500,000 of 5.8% fixed income autocallable securities due Oct. 22, 2020 linked to the worse performing of the iShares MSCI Emerging Markets ETF and the Consumer Staples Select Sector SPDR Fund, according to a 424B2 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Interest is payable quarterly
