Underlying Index

For more information about the underlying index, including historical performance information, see the accompanying preliminary terms.

Risk Considerations

The risks set forth below are discussed in more detail in the “Risk Factors” section in the accompanying preliminary terms. Please review those risk factors carefully prior to making an investment decision.

 

Risks Relating to an Investment in the Securities

The securities do not guarantee the return of any principal.

You will not receive any contingent monthly coupon for any monthly period where the index closing value is less than the coupon barrier level.

The contingent monthly coupon, if any, is based solely on the index closing value or the final index value, as applicable.

Investors will not participate in any appreciation in the value of the underlying index.

The automatic early redemption feature may limit the term of your investment to as short as approximately six months. If the securities are redeemed early, you may not be able to reinvest at comparable terms or returns.

The market price will be influenced by many unpredictable factors.

The securities are subject to our credit risk, and any actual or anticipated changes to our credit ratings or credit spreads may adversely affect the market value of the securities.

As a finance subsidiary, MSFL has no independent operations and will have no independent assets.

Investing in the securities is not equivalent to investing in the underlying index.

The securities will not be listed on any securities exchange and secondary trading may be limited.

The rate we are willing to pay for securities of this type, maturity and issuance size is likely to be lower than the rate implied by our secondary market credit spreads and advantageous to us. Both the lower rate and the inclusion of costs associated with issuing, selling, structuring and hedging the securities in the original issue price reduce the economic terms of the securities, cause the estimated value of the securities to be less than the original issue price and will adversely affect secondary market prices.

The estimated value of the securities is approximately $959.70 per security, or within $45.00 of that estimate, and is determined by reference to our pricing and valuation models, which may differ from those of other dealers and is not a maximum or minimum secondary market price.

Hedging and trading activity by our affiliates could potentially affect the value of the securities.

The calculation agent, which is a subsidiary of Morgan Stanley and an affiliate of MSFL, will make determinations with respect to the securities.

The U.S. federal income tax consequences of an investment in the securities are uncertain.

 

Risks Relating to the Underlying Index

No assurance can be given that the investment strategy used to construct the Index will achieve its intended results or that the Index will be successful or will outperform any alternative index or strategy that might reference the Index Components.

The decrement of 4% per annum will adversely affect the performance of the Index in all cases, whether the Index appreciates or depreciates.

The Index is subject to risks associated with the use of significant leverage.

The Index may be not be fully invested.

The Index was established on March 14, 2022 and therefore has very limited operating history.

As the Index is new and has very limited historical performance, any investment in the Index may involve greater risk than an investment in an index with longer actual historical performance and a proven track record.

The E-mini® Russell 2000® futures contracts are one of the Index Components and are subject to risks associated with small-capitalization companies.

Adjustments to the underlying index could adversely affect the value of the securities.

 

Tax Considerations

You should review carefully the discussion in the accompanying preliminary terms under the caption “Additional Information About the Securities–Tax considerations” concerning the U.S. federal income tax consequences of an investment in the securities, and you should consult your tax adviser.
