New Issue: Morgan Stanley prices $1 million leveraged CMS curve notes linked to S&P, Russell

By Susanna Moon

Chicago, Aug. 12 – Morgan Stanley priced $1 million of leveraged CMS curve securities due Aug. 31, 2030 linked to the worst performing of the Russell 2000 index and the S&P 500 index, according to a 424B2 filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

The coupon will be fixed at 10% for the first three years. After that, it will accrue at 8 times the spread of the 30-year Constant Maturity Swap rate over the two-year CMS rate for each day that each index closes at or above its 65% barrier level, up to a maximum rate of 10% per year. Interest is payable monthly and cannot be less than zero.

The payout at maturity will be par unless index finishes below its 50% trigger level, in which case investors will be fully exposed to any losses of the worst performing index.

Morgan Stanley & Co. LLC is the agent.
