By Wendy Van Sickle

Columbus, Ohio, May 10 – Morgan Stanley priced $5.86 million of 0% dual directional buffered participation securities due May 12, 2021 linked to the worse 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 finishes above the initial level, the payout at maturity will be par plus the gain of the laggard index.
