New Issue: Morgan Stanley sells $4 million contingent income buffered autocalls on index, ETF

By Sarah Lizee

Olympia, Wash., Aug. 13 – Morgan Stanley Finance LLC priced $4 million of contingent income buffered autocallable securities due Aug. 4, 2022 linked to the lesser performing of the S&P 500 index and the VanEck Vectors Gold Miners ETF, according to a 424B2 filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

The notes are guaranteed by Morgan Stanley.

Each quarter, the notes will pay a contingent coupon at the rate of 7.35% per year if each underlier closes at or above its coupon barrier, 80% of its initial level, on the determination date for that quarter.

The notes will be automatically called at par if each underlier closes at or above 90% of its initial level on any quarterly determination date.

The payout at maturity will be par unless either underlier finishes below its 80% buffer level, in which case investors will lose 1% for every 1% that the lesser-performing underlier declines beyond 20%.

Morgan Stanley & Co. LLC is the agent.
