Client Strategy Guide: September 2011 Offerings Selected Features and Risk Disclosures [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 Structured Investments involves a variety of risks. The following are some of the significant risks related to Structured 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 Structured 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 Structured 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, Structured 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 on 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 Structured Investments that provide for repayment of principal. Because the supplemental redemption amount due at maturity on these Structured 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 Structured 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. This material was not prepared by the Research Departments of Morgan Stanley Smith Barney, Morgan Stanley and Co. LLC, or Citigroup Global Markets Inc. and you should not regard it as a research report. Please see the offering materials for complete product disclosure including tax disclosure and related risks.

Client Strategy Guide: September 2011 Offerings Structured Investments Spectrum [GRAPHIC OMITTED] 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. 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. 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. 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. 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. 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. 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. [] 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. [] 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. [] 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. [] 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. [] May be appropriate for investors who expect only modest changes in the value of the underlying asset and who are willing to give up appreciation on the underlying asset that is beyond the performance range, and bear the same or similar downside risk associated with owning the underlying asset. [] May be appropriate for investors interested in diversification and exposure to difficult to access asset classes, market sectors or investment strategies.

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 the related 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.

Client Strategy Guide: September 2011 Offerings Selected Risks and Considerations [GRAPHIC OMITTED] 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.

Client Strategy Guide: September 2011 Offerings [GRAPHIC OMITTED] 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.
