New Issue: Morgan Stanley sells $1 million fixed-to-floaters on CMS rates, indexes

By Wendy Van Sickle

Columbus, Ohio, Jan. 25 – Morgan Stanley priced $1 million of fixed-to-floating leveraged CMS curve securities due Jan. 29, 2031 linked to the worse performing of the Russell 2000 index and the S&P 500 index, according to a 424B2 filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

The coupon will be fixed at 10% for the first two years, payable monthly. After that, it will accrue at 10 times the spread of the 30-year Constant Maturity Swap rate over the two-year CMS rate, up to a maximum rate of 10% per year, for each day that each index closes at or above its 60% reference level. Interest will be payable monthly and cannot be less than zero.

The payout at maturity will be par unless either index finishes below its 50% trigger level, in which case investors will be fully exposed to the loss of the worse performing index.

Morgan Stanley & Co. LLC is the agent.
