Morgan Stanley plans CMS curve range accrual notes linked to indexes

By Angela McDaniels

Tacoma, Wash., Sept. 9 – Morgan Stanley Finance LLC plans to price CMS curve range accrual securities due Sept. 30, 2036 linked to the worse performing of the Russell 2000 index and the S&P 500 index, according to an FWP filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

The notes will be guaranteed by Morgan Stanley.

The interest rate will be 7% for the first five years. After that, it will be 7% per year multiplied by the proportion of days on which the spread of the 30-year ICE swap rate over the two-year ICE swap rate is greater than or equal to zero and each index closes at or above its index reference level, 50% of its initial level. Interest will be payable monthly.

If each index finishes at or above its barrier level, 50% of its initial level, the payout at maturity will be par. Otherwise, investors will be fully exposed to the decline of the worse-performing index.

Morgan Stanley & Co. LLC is the agent.

The notes will settle Sept. 30.

The Cusip number is 61766YAR2.
