By William Gullotti

Buffalo, N.Y., Aug. 18 – Morgan Stanley Finance LLC priced $250,000 of 0% jump securities with autocallable feature due May 16, 2024 linked to the worst performing of the VanEck Vectors Gold Miners ETF and the SPDR Gold Trust, according to a 424B2 filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

The notes will be guaranteed by Morgan Stanley.

The notes will be called at par plus an annual premium of 8% if each fund closes at or above its initial level on any semiannual observation date.
