ANY PRODUCT THAT IS LINKED TO THE PERFORMANCE OF THE INDEX IS NOT SPONSORED, ENDORSED, SOLD OR PROMOTED BY MORGAN STANLEY & CO. LLC, OR ANY OF ITS AFFILIATES (COLLECTIVELY, “MORGAN STANLEY”). NEITHER MORGAN STANLEY NOR ANY OTHER PARTY (INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION ANY CALCULATION AGENTS OR DATA PROVIDERS) MAKES ANY REPRESENTATION OR WARRANTY, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, REGARDING THE ADVISABILITY OF PURCHASING ANY PRODUCT LINKED TO THIS INDEX.

NEITHER MORGAN STANLEY NOR ANY OTHER PARTY HAS OR WILL HAVE ANY OBLIGATION OR LIABILITY TO OWNERS OF THIS PRODUCT IN CONNECTION WITH THE ADMINISTRATION OR MARKETING OF THIS PRODUCT, AND NEITHER MORGAN STANLEY NOR ANY OTHER PARTY GUARANTEES THE ACCURACY AND/OR THE COMPLETENESS OF THE INDEX OR ANY DATA INCLUDED THEREIN.

The Index includes a variable index deduction mechanism that scales upward based on positive performance of the Index.  Such index deduction is applied when calculating the level of the Index and will thus reduce the return of the Index and any product linked to the Index. The Index applies a bespoke volatility control mechanism to identify changing market conditions using intraday data, and stabilize the overall level of risk of the Index. The volatility control calculation applied by Morgan Stanley as part of the Index’s methodology may decrease the Index’s performance and thus the return of any product linked to the Index. In addition, because the volatility control calculation is expected to reduce the overall volatility of the Index, it will also reduce the cost of hedging certain products linked to the Index.

Morgan Stanley may transact derivative transactions linked to the Index. Potential purchasers of products linked to this Index should refer to the full offering document for important information concerning such products, including the related risk factors and determine their own appraisal of the risks and suitability of such products.
