New Issue: Morgan Stanley sells $2.5 million dual directional buffered securities on two indexes

By William Gullotti

Buffalo, N.Y., Feb. 16 – Morgan Stanley Finance LLC priced $2.5 million of 0% dual directional buffered participation securities with downside factor due Feb. 13, 2025 linked to the performance 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 finishes at or above the initial level, the payout at maturity will be par plus the gain of the laggard index.

If either index falls but not by more than 20%, the payout will be par plus the absolute value of the return of the laggard index.

Otherwise, investors will lose 1.25% for each 1% loss of the worst performing index beyond 20%.

The notes are guaranteed by Morgan Stanley.
