Selected Features and Risk Disclosures         [GRAPHIC OMITTED][GRAPHIC OMITTED]

Features
Structured Investments offer investors choices in terms of underlying asset,
market view, time horizon, potential returns and risk tolerance. Such features
may include:
o    Varying levels of exposure to potential capital appreciation or
     depreciation
o    Returns based on a defined formula
o    Variety of underlying assets, including equities, commodities, currencies
     and interest rates
o    Minimum investment of $1,000; unless otherwise noted

Key Risks

An investment in PersonNameStructured Investments involves a variety of risks.
The following are some of the significant risks related to PersonNameStructured
Investments. Please refer to the "Selected Risks and Considerations" section at
the end of this brochure for a fuller description of these risk factors.

The market price of PersonNameStructured Investments may be influenced by a
variety of unpredictable factors. Several factors may influence the value of a
particular Structured Investment in the secondary market, including, but not
limited to, the value and volatility of the underlying asset, interest rates,
credit spreads charged by the market for taking the applicable issuer's credit
risk, dividend rates on any equity underlying asset, and time remaining to
maturity. In addition, we expect that the secondary market price of a Structured
Investment will be adversely affected by the fact that the issue price of the
Structured Investment includes the agent's commissions and expected profit.

Issuer credit risk. All payments on PersonNameStructured Investments are
dependent on the applicable issuer's ability to pay all amounts due and
therefore investors are subject to the credit risk of the applicable issuer.
Secondary trading may be limited. There may be little or no secondary market for
a particular Structured Investment. If the applicable pricing supplement so
specifies, we may apply to list a Structured Investment on a securities
exchange, but it is not possible to predict whether any Structured Investment
will meet the listing requirements of that particular exchange, or if listed,
whether any secondary market will exist.

Appreciation potential or participation in the underlying asset may be limited.
The terms of a Structured Investment may limit the maximum payment at maturity
or the extent to which the return reflects the performance of the underlying
asset. Potential loss of principal. The terms of a Structured Investment may not
provide for the return of principal and an investment may result in a loss of
some or all of your principal. Even where repayment of principal is provided for
by the terms of the Structured Investment, it is still subject to the credit
risk of the applicable issuer and the applicable issuer's ability to repay its
obligations. In addition, you may receive less, and possibly significantly less,
than the stated principal amount if you sell your investment prior to maturity.

Structured Investments that provide for repayment of principal typically do not
make periodic interest payments. Unlike ordinary debt securities,
PersonNameStructured Investments that provide for repayment of principal
typically do not pay interest. Instead, at maturity, the investor receives the
principal amount plus a supplemental redemption amount, if any, based upon the
performance of the underlying asset, in each case, subject to the credit risk of
the applicable issuer.

You may receive only the principal amount at maturity for PersonNameStructured
Investments that provide for repayment of principal. Because the supplemental
redemption amount due at maturity on these PersonNameStructured Investments may
equal zero, the return on your investment (i.e., the effective yield to
maturity) may be less than the amount that would be paid on an ordinary debt
security. The return of only the principal amount at maturity may not compensate
you for the effects of inflation or other factors relating to the value of money
over time.

Potential conflicts. The issuer of a Structured Investment and its affiliates
may play a variety of roles in connection with the Structured Investment,
including acting as calculation agent and hedging the issuer's obligations under
the Structured Investment. Such activity could adversely affect the payouts to
investors on PersonNameStructured Investments.

The aforementioned risks are not intended to be an exhaustive list of the risks
associated with a particular Structured Investment offering. Before you invest
in any Structured Investment, you should thoroughly review the particular
investment's prospectus and related offering materials for a comprehensive
description of the risks and considerations associated with the offering.

Structured Investments Spectrum

Structured Investments can be divided into six broad categories, each aimed at
offering structural characteristics designed to help investors pursue specific
financial objectives - Market-Linked Deposits � FDIC Insured, Market-Linked
Notes, Partial Principal at Risk Securities, Enhanced Yield, Leveraged
Performance and Access.
o    May be appropriate for investors who do not require periodic interest
     payments, are concerned about principal at risk, and who are willing to
     forgo some upside in exchange for the repayment of all principal at
     maturity, subject to applicable FDIC insurance limits and issuer credit
     risk.

Market-Linked Deposits - FDIC Insured combine the repayment of all principal at
maturity, subject to applicable FDIC insurance limits and issuer credit risk,
with the potential for capital appreciation based on the performance of an
underlying asset.
o    May be appropriate for investors who do not require periodic interest
     payments, are concerned about principal at risk, do not require FDIC
     insurance on their investment, and who are willing to forgo some upside in
     exchange for the repayment of all principal at maturity, subject to issuer
     credit risk.

Market-Linked Notes combine the repayment of all principal at maturity subject
to issuer credit risk, with the potential for capital appreciation based on the
performance of an underlying asset. Market-Linked Notes do not have the benefit
of FDIC insurance.
o    May be appropriate for investors who do not require periodic interest
     payments, are concerned about principal at risk, do not require FDIC
     insurance on their investment, and who are willing to risk a portion of
     their principal and forgo some upside return in exchange for the issuer�s
     obligation to repay some principal at maturity.

Partial Principal at Risk Securities combine the repayment of some principal at
maturity, subject to issuer credit risk, with the potential for capital
appreciation based on the performance of an underlying asset.
o    May be appropriate for investors who do not require periodic interest
     payments, are concerned about principal at risk, do not require FDIC
     insurance on their investment, and who are willing to risk a portion of
     their principal and forgo some upside return in exchange for the issuer�s
     obligation to repay some principal at maturity.

Enhanced Yield Investments seek to potentially generate current income greater
than that of a direct investment in an underlying asset with the investor
accepting full exposure to the downside with limited or no opportunity for
capital appreciation.
o    May be appropriate for investors who do not require periodic interest
     payments, are concerned about principal at risk, do not require FDIC
     insurance on their investment, and who are willing to risk a portion of
     their principal and forgo some upside return in exchange for the issuer�s
     obligation to repay some principal at maturity.

Leveraged Performance Investments allow investors the possibility of capturing
enhanced returns relative to an underlying asset's actual performance within a
given range of performance in exchange for giving up returns above the specified
cap, in addition to accepting full downside exposure to the underlying asset.
o    May be appropriate for investors who are willing to forgo some or all of
     the appreciation in the underlying asset and assume full downside exposure
     to the underlying asset in exchange for enhanced yield in the form of
     above-market interest payments.

Access Investments provide exposure to a market sector, asset class, theme or
investment strategy that may not be easily accessible to an individual investor
by means of traditional investments.
o    May be appropriate for investors interested in diversification and exposure
     to difficult to access asset classes, market sectors or investment
     strategies.

Opportunities in U.S. Equities
Enhanced Yield  O       8% to 10% ELKS(R) based on Halliburton Company (HAL)

Strategy
Overview

o    Relatively short-term yield enhancement strategy that offers above-market,
     fixed monthly coupons in exchange for full downside exposure to the
     underlying equity and, in most cases, no appreciation potential on the
     underlying equity.
o    ELKS offer limited protection against a decline in the price of the
     underlying equity at maturity but only if the underlying equity does not
     close at or below the predetermined downside threshold price on any trading
     day during the investment term
o    Monthly coupon is paid regardless of the performance of the underlying
     equity Risk Considerations ? All principal is at risk under the terms of
     the ELKS
o    Full downside exposure to the underlying equity if the underlying equity
     closes at or below the downside threshold price on any trading day during
     the investment term
o    No participation in any appreciation of the underlying equity unless the
     underlying equity closes at or below the downside threshold price on any
     trading day during the investment term and at maturity (or on the valuation
     date if the issuer elects to pay cash) closes above its initial equity
     price
o    If the underlying equity closes at or below the downside threshold price on
     any trading day during the investment term, the ELKS will redeem for shares
     of the underlying equity, or the equivalent cash value, which will be less
     than the initial investment if the underlying equity closes below the
     initial equity price on the maturity date (or the valuation date if the
     issuer elects to pay cash)

ELKS offer an enhanced yield strategy that pays a periodic, above-market, fixed
rate coupon (per annum) that will be determined on the pricing date. The ELKS do
not guarantee the return of any principal at maturity. At maturity, the ELKS
will pay either (i) an amount of cash equal to the stated principal amount of
the ELKS or (ii) if the closing price of the common stock of Halliburton Company
decreases to or below the downside threshold price on any trading day over the
term of the ELKS, a number of shares of common stock of Halliburton Company
equal to the equity ratio (as defined below) or, if we so elect, the cash value
(determined as of the valuation date) of such shares. The value of those shares
of common stock of Halliburton Company or that cash, as applicable, may be
significantly less than the stated principal amount of the ELKS and may be zero.
The ELKS are senior unsecured obligations of Morgan Stanley, and all payments on
the ELKS are subject to the credit risk of Morgan Stanley.

Enhanced Yield  o  Contingent Income Auto-Callable Securities on Apple Inc. (AAPL)

Strategy
Overview

o    Potential yield enhancement strategy for investors with a range-bound view
     on Apple Inc. (AAPL)
o    Opportunity to receive a contingent quarterly coupon, provided that the
     underlying stock closes at or above the predetermined downside threshold
     level on the related determination date
o    The securities will redeem for par plus the contingent coupon payment if on
     any determination date the closing price of the underlying stock is at or
     above the initial share price
o    The securities provide full repayment of principal at maturity if the
     underlying stock closes at or above the predetermined downside threshold
     level on the final determination date Risk Considerations ? All principal
     is at risk under the terms of the Auto-Callable Securities
o    Investors will not participate in any appreciation in the price of the
     underlying stock and the return on the security will be limited to the
     contingent quarterly coupons earned during the term
o    Contingent quarterly payments may be zero for some or all quarterly periods
o    All payments are subject to the credit risk of the issuer

Contingent Income Auto-Callable Securities offer the opportunity for investors
to earn a contingent quarterly payment equal to 3.00% to 3.50% of the stated
principal amount, with respect to each determination date on which the closing
price of the underlying stock is greater than or equal to 85% of the initial
share price, which we refer to as the downside threshold level. In addition, if
the closing price of the underlying stock is greater than or equal to the
initial share price on any determination date, the securities will be
automatically redeemed for an amount per security equal to the stated principal
amount and the contingent quarterly payment. However, if on any determination
date the closing price of the underlying stock is less than the initial share
price, the securities will not be redeemed and if that closing price is less
than the downside threshold level, you will not receive any contingent quarterly
payment for that quarterly period. As a result, investors must be willing to
accept the risk of not receiving any contingent quarterly payment and also the
risk of receiving shares of the underlying stock, which will occur if the
securities are not redeemed prior to maturity and the closing price of the
underlying stock is below the downside threshold level on the final
determination date, in which case investors will be exposed to the decline in
the closing price of the underlying stock and the value of those shares
investors receive at maturity will be significantly less than the stated
principal amount of the securities and could be zero. Accordingly, the
securities do not guarantee any return of principal at maturity. Investors will
not participate in any appreciation of the underlying stock. The securities are
senior unsecured obligations of Morgan Stanley, and all payments on the
securities are subject to the credit risk of Morgan Stanley.

                      greater than or equal to the Initial Share Price, the
                      securities will be automatically redeemed for an Early

                         greater than or equal to the Downside Threshold Level,

                         per security on the related Contingent Payment Date.

                         determined on the pricing date.

Opportunities in Commodities

Leveraged Performance [] Commodity LASERS (SM) based on the SandP GSCI[TM]
Grains Index-Excess Return

Strategy
Overview  []   LASERS(SM) allow investors to capture returns matching the
               underlying index's actual positive performance and provide
               limited protection against loss should the underlying index have
               a negative performance, but expose the investor to full downside
               risk if the underlying index closes at or below the predetermined
               percentage on any index business day from but excluding the
               pricing date to and including the valuation date

          []   The loss protection only applies if the underlying index closes
               above the predetermined percentage on each index business day
               during the term

          []   LASERS(SM) can potentially outperform the underlying index to the
               extent that the index percent change is below the fixed
               percentage return, if the underlying index closes above the
               predetermined percentage of the initial index value on each index
               business day during the term
Risk
Considerations
          []   All principal is at risk under the terms of the LASERS

          []   Full downside exposure to the underlying index if the underlying
               index closes at or below the predetermined percentage on any
               index business day during the term

          []   Does not provide for current income; no interest payments

The Commodity LASERS, which we refer to as the LASERS, will pay an amount in
cash at maturity that may be greater than, equal to or less than the stated
principal amount depending on the performance of the underlying index both (i)
on the valuation date and (ii) on each index business day during the period from
but excluding the pricing date to and including the valuation date. If the index
percent change is greater than the downside threshold value of --25% on each
index business day during the period from but excluding the pricing date to and
including the valuation date, you will receive, in addition to the principal, a
return based on the greater of the final index percent change and the specified
fixed percentage. However, if the index percent change is less than or equal to
the downside threshold value on any index business day during the same period,
the payment at maturity will be solely based on the final index percent change,
which may be negative, and therefore, you will be fully exposed to the negative
performance of the underlying index on the valuation date. In no event will the
payment at maturity exceed the specified maximum payment at maturity. The
payment at maturity may be less, and potentially significantly less, than the
stated principal amount of the LASERS and could be zero. The LASERS are senior
unsecured obligations of Morgan Stanley, and all payments on the LASERS are
subject to the credit risk of Morgan Stanley.

                             Payment at Maturity will be determined on the

Selected Risks and Considerations

An investment in Structured Investments involves a variety of risks. Structured
Investments may be linked to a wide variety of underlying assets, and each
underlying asset will have its own unique set of risks and considerations. For
example, some underlying assets have significantly higher volatility than
others. Before you invest in any Structured Investment, you should thoroughly
review the relevant prospectus and related offering materials for a
comprehensive description of the risks associated with the Structured
Investment, including the risks related to the underlying asset(s) to which the
Structured Investment is linked.

The following are general risks applicable to most types of Structured
Investments:

Issuer Credit Risk

All payments on Structured Investments are subject to the credit risk of the
applicable issuer. Any payments of interest or payments at maturity on a
Structured Investment are subject to the credit risk of the applicable issuer
and the issuer's credit ratings and credit spreads may adversely affect the
market value of the Structured Investment. Investors are dependent on the
applicable issuer's ability to pay periodic interest payments, if any, and all
amounts due on the Structured Investment at maturity and therefore investors are
subject to the credit risk of the applicable issuer and to changes in the
market's view of the applicable issuer's credit risk. If the applicable issuer
defaults on its obligations under the Structured Investment, the investor's
investment would be at risk and an investor could lose some or all of its
investment. Any decline in the applicable issuer's credit ratings or increase in
the credit spreads charged by the market for taking credit risk of the issuer is
likely to adversely affect the value of the Structured Investment. Furthermore,
unless issued as market -linked certificate of deposit, Structured Investments
are not bank deposits and are not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit
Insurance Corporation or any other governmental agency, nor are they obligations
of, or guaranteed by, a bank.

Market Risk

The price at which a particular Structured Investment may be sold prior to
maturity will depend on a number of factors and may be substantially less than
the amount for which they were originally purchased. Some of these factors
include, but are not limited to: (i) changes in the level of the underlying
asset or reference index, (ii) volatility of the underlying asset or reference
index, (iii) changes in interest rates, (iv) any actual or anticipated changes
in the credit ratings of the applicable issuer or credit spreads charged by the
market for taking the issuer's credit risk and (v) the time remaining to
maturity. In addition, we expect that the secondary market prices of a
Structured Investment will be adversely affected by the fact that the issue
price of the securities includes the agent's commissions and expected profit.
You may receive less, and possibly significantly less, than the stated principal
amount if you sell your investments prior to maturity.

Liquidity Risk

There may be little or no secondary market for a particular Structured
Investment and you should be prepared to hold your investments until maturity.
If the applicable pricing supplement so specifies, we may apply to list a
particular Structured Investment on a securities exchange, but it is not
possible to predict whether any Structured Investment will meet the listing
requirements of that particular exchange, or if listed, whether any secondary
market will exist. Therefore, there may be little or no secondary market for
Structured Investments. Issuers may, but are not obligated to, make a market in
the Structured Investments. Even if there is a secondary market for a particular
Structured Investment, it may not provide enough liquidity to allow you to trade
or sell your Structured Investment easily. Because it is not expected that other
broker-dealers will participate significantly in the secondary market for
Structured Investments, the price at which you may be able to trade a Structured
Investment is likely to depend on the price, if any, at which Morgan Stanley
Smith Barney or another broker-dealer affiliated with the particular issuer of
the security is willing to transact. If at any time Morgan Stanley Smith Barney
or any other broker dealer were not to make a market in Structured Investments,
it is likely that there would be no secondary market for Structured Investments.

Past Performance Not Indicative of Future Results

The historical performance of an underlying asset or reference index is not an
indication of future performance. Historical performance of an underlying asset
or reference index to which a specific Structured Investment is linked should
not be taken as an indication of the future performance of the underlying asset
or reference index during the term of the Structured Investment. Changes in the
levels of the underlying asset or reference index will affect the trading price
of the Structured Investment, but it is impossible to predict whether such
levels will rise or fall.

Conflicts of Interest

The applicable issuer, its affiliates, Morgan Stanley Smith Barney and/or its
affiliates may be market participants. The applicable issuer, one or more of its
affiliates or Morgan Stanley Smith Barney or its affiliates may, currently or in
the future, publish research reports with respect to movements in the underlying
asset to which any specific Structured Investment is linked. Such research is
modified from time to time without notice and may express opinions or provide
recommendations that are inconsistent with purchasing or holding a specific
Structured Investment or Structured Investments generally. Any of these
activities could affect the market value of a specific Structured Investment or
Structured Investments generally.

In most Structured Investments, an affiliate of Morgan Stanley or the applicable
issuer is designated to act as calculation agent to calculate the period
interest or payment at maturity due on the Structured Investment. Any
determinations made by the calculation agent may affect the payout to investors.

Hedging and Trading Activity

Hedging and trading activity by the issuer and its subsidiaries and affiliates
could potentially adversely affect the value of the Structured Investments. We
expect that the calculation agent and its affiliates for a particular Structured
Investment will carry out hedging activities related to that Structured
Investment, including trading in the underlying asset, as well as in other
instruments related to the underlying asset. The issuer's subsidiaries and
affiliates may also trade in the underlying asset and other instruments related
to the underlying asset on a regular basis as part of their general
broker-dealer and other businesses. Any of these hedging or trading activities
on or prior to the trade date and during the term of the Structured Investment
could adversely affect the value of the underlying asset, and, accordingly, the
payout to investors.

Commissions and Hedging Profits

The inclusion of commissions and projected profit from hedging in the original
issue price is likely to adversely affect secondary market prices of Structured
Investments. Assuming no change in market conditions or any other relevant
factors, the price, if any, at which a market -maker is willing to purchase
Structured Investments in secondary market transactions will likely be lower
than the original issue price, since the original issue price includes, and
secondary market prices are likely to exclude, commissions paid with respect to
the Structured Investments, as well as the cost of hedging the applicable
issuer's obligations under the Structured Investments. The cost of hedging
includes the projected profit that the calculation agent and its affiliates may
realize in consideration for assuming the risks inherent in managing the hedging
transactions. In addition, any secondary market prices may differ from values
determined by pricing models used by the market -maker as a result of dealer
discounts, mark-ups or other transaction costs.

With respect to any MLD offering, you can only count on FDIC insurance to cover
the deposit amount of each MLD and, if applicable, the minimum index interest.

In the event that FDIC insurance payments become necessary for the MLDs prior to
the maturity date, the FDIC is only required to pay the Deposit Amount of the
MLDs together with any accrued minimum index interest, if any, as prescribed by
law, and subject to the applicable FDIC insurance limits. FDIC insurance is not
available for any index interest if the applicable issuer fails prior to the
maturity date, in the case of the MLDs. FDIC insurance is also not available for
any secondary market premium paid by a depositor above the principal amount of
an MLD. Except to the extent insured by the FDIC, the MLDs are not otherwise
insured by any governmental agency or instrumentality or any other person.
