By Taylor Fox

New York, Feb. 16 – Morgan Stanley Finance LLC priced $2 million 0% buffered securities due April 3, 2026 linked to the S&P 500 index, according to a 424B2 filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

The notes will be guaranteed by Morgan Stanley.

If the final index level is greater than the 87% strike index value, the payout at maturity will be positive.

The payout will be par plus 86% of the index strike return.

The index strike return is the final value of the index minus 87% - divided by the initial level.

Investors will lose 1% for every 1% that the index declines below the 13% buffer level.

The initial level will be the average of the market days in the three-month period from Jan. 7 to April 8.
