New Issue: Morgan Stanley sells $1.1 million trigger gears tied to basket of indexes

By Sarah Lizee

Olympia, Wash., Sept. 18 – Morgan Stanley Finance LLC priced $1.1 million of 0% trigger gears due Sept. 18, 2030 linked to a basket of indexes, according to a 424B2 filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

The basket includes the Euro Stoxx 50 index with a 40% weight, the FTSE 100 index with a 20% weight, the Nikkei 225 index with a 20% weight, the Swiss Market index with a 7.5% weight, the S&P/ASX 200 index with a 7.5% weight and the Hang Seng index with a 5% weight.

If the basket return is positive, the payout at maturity will be par plus 1.98 times the basket return. If the basket return declines but not more than 30%, the payout will be par. If the basket declines beyond the downside threshold, investors will lose 1% for every 1% that the basket declines from its initial level.

The notes are guaranteed by Morgan Stanley.
