New Issue: Morgan Stanley sells $1 million dual directional buffered PLUS on ETFs

By Emma Trincal

New York, Sept. 27 – Morgan Stanley Finance LLC priced $1 million of 0% dual directional buffered Performance Leveraged Upside Securities due Sept. 26, 2024 linked to the worse performing of the VanEck Vectors Gold Miners exchange-traded fund and the iShares MSCI Emerging Markets ETF, according to a 424B2 filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

If each ETF finishes above its initial level, the payout at maturity will be par plus 1.5 times the gain of the lesser performing ETF.

If either ETF falls but by no more than the 20% buffer, the payout will be par plus half the absolute value of the return of the lesser-performing ETF.

Otherwise, investors will lose 1% for each 1% decline of the worst performer beyond the 20% buffer.

The notes are guaranteed by Morgan Stanley.
