New Issue: Morgan Stanley prices $250,000 buffered contingent income autocalls on commodity ETFs

By William Gullotti

Buffalo, N.Y., Feb. 10 – Morgan Stanley Finance LLC priced $250,000 of contingent income buffered autocallable securities due April 24, 2023 linked to the worst performing of the VanEck Vectors Gold Miners ETF and the iShares Silver Trust, according to a 424B2 filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

The notes will be guaranteed by Morgan Stanley.

The notes will pay a monthly coupon at an annual rate of 8.35% if each underlying closes above its 80% coupon barrier on a related determination date.

After six months, the notes will be called at par plus coupon due if each underlying closes at or above initial levels on any quarterly determination date.

At maturity, the payout will be par plus the coupon if both ETFs finish above their 85% buffer levels.

Otherwise, investors will be exposed to the losses of the worst performing fund beyond the 15% buffer. The coupon will be paid if due.

Morgan Stanley & Co. LLC is the agent.
