New Issue: Morgan Stanley to increase ETNs linked to S&P 500 Oil Hedged by $8.63 million

By Angela McDaniels

Tacoma, Wash., Dec. 28 - Morgan Stanley expects to increase the outstanding amount of its 0% exchange-traded notes due July 1, 2031 linked to the S&P 500 Oil Hedged index by $8,625,000, according to a 424B2 filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

The company has registered to sell up to $10 million of the notes. It sold $1 million of the notes on June 28. As of Dec. 28, $8,625,000 principal amount was held for sale by the agent, Morgan Stanley & Co. LLC. The issuer expects the agent to offer and sell these notes to other dealers and investors at varying prices from time to time.

The payout at maturity will be par of $25 plus the index return, which could be positive or negative, minus the tracking fee, which is 0.79% per year.

The notes are putable at any time, subject to a minimum of 100,000 notes and a fee of 0.125%. The notes are callable at any time, and they will be automatically redeemed if the notes' intraday indicative value on any day has declined by at least 50% from the closing indicative value as of the most recent rebalancing date for the index.

The notes have been approved for listing on NYSE Arca under the symbol "BARL."

The index provides exposure to the S&P 500 Total Return index and the near-term Nymex West Texas Intermediate light sweet crude and ICE Brent crude oil futures contracts. A $100 investment in the ETNs provides a $100 exposure to the S&P 500 Total Return and a $50 exposure to each of the two futures contracts. Each exposure is rebalanced on a monthly basis.
