New Issue: Morgan Stanley sells $2 million trigger jump securities on S&P, Russell

By Toni Weeks

San Luis Obispo, Calif., Sept. 16 - Morgan Stanley priced $2 million of 0% trigger jump securities due Jan. 2, 2015 linked to the worst performing of the S&P 500 index and the Russell 2000 index, according to a 424B2 filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

If each index's final level is greater than or equal to its upside threshold, the payout at maturity will be par of $10 plus an upside payment of $1.605. Each index's upside threshold is 97% of its initial level.

If the final level of either index is less than its upside threshold but the final level of each index is greater than or equal to its downside threshold, the payout will be par. Each index's downside threshold is 87% of its initial level.

If the final level of either index is below the downside threshold, investors will lose 1% for each 1% that the worse-performing index's final level is below its initial level.

Morgan Stanley & Co. LLC is the agent.
