RISK CONSIDERATIONS:
The following is a non-exhaustive list of certain key risk factors related to the Index and for investors in products linked to the Index. You should also consult with your investment, legal, tax, accounting and other advisors in connection with the Index and any product linked to the Index.

Low Volatility in the Index is Not Synonymous with Low Risk in an Investment Linked to the Index. For example, even if the volatility of the Index was in line with the Volatility Target, the Index may decrease over time, which may result in a loss, and possibly a significant loss, on an investment linked to the Index.

The Level of the Index Can Go Down As Well As Up.

The Index’s Constituents are Varied and Represent a Number of Different Sub-Asset Classes in a Number of Different Asset Classes. Prospective investors should be experienced with respect to, and be able to evaluate and understand the risks of (either alone or with the investor’s investment, legal, tax, accounting and other advisors), transactions in investments the value of which is derived from different sub-asset classes and asset classes.

The Index at Any Time May Be Composed of a Very Small Number of ETFs. The components of the Asset Portfolio are varied and will be selected from the Index Components according to the Index Methodology. Therefore, at any time, the Index may be composed of a very small number of ETFs and investors in products linked to the Index could be exposed to the risks associated with a concentrated investment in that small number of ETFs.

The Value of the Index and Any Product Linked to the Index May Increase or Decrease Due to a Number of Factors, Many of Which Are Beyond Our Control. The nature and weighting of the Index Components can vary significantly, and no assurance can be given as to the Index’s allocation to any Index Component at any time.

While the Index Has a Volatility Target of 5%, There Can Be No Guarantee, Even If the Allocation of the Index is Adjusted As Frequently As is Permitted That the Realized Volatility of the Index Will Not be Less Than or Greater Than 5%.

There Can Be No Assurance That the Actual Volatility of the Index Will Be Lower Than the Volatility of Any or All of the Index Components.

The Volatility Target Feature of the Index May Dampen its Performance in Rising Markets. The Index is designed to achieve a Volatility Target of 5% regardless of the direction of price movements in the market. Therefore, in rising markets, if the Realized Volatility is higher than the Target Volatility, the adjustment through Rebalancing or Daily Allocation might dampen the performance of the Index.

The Future Performance of the Index May Bear Little or No Relation to the Historical or Hypothetical Retrospective Performance of the Index. Among other things, the trading prices of the Index Components and the dividends paid on the Index Components will impact the level and the volatility of the Index. It is impossible to predict whether the level of the Index will rise or fall.

An Investment in Products Linked to the Index Involves Risks Associated with Emerging Markets Equities and Bonds, Currency Exchange Rates. ETFs representing foreign equities (including emerging markets equities) can constitute up to 100% of the Index. The Index can also consist of certain ETFs representing emerging markets bonds. Therefore, an investment in products linked to the Index involves risks associated with the securities markets in those foreign markets and emerging markets countries, including but not limited to risks of volatility in those markets, governmental intervention in those markets and cross-shareholdings in companies in certain countries. The prices of securities issued in foreign markets may be affected by political, economic, financial and social factors in those countries, or global regions, including changes in government, economic and fiscal policies and currency exchange laws. In addition, because the price of an ETF representing foreign securities is generally related to the U.S. dollar value of securities underlying the index tracked by such ETF, an investment in products linked to the Index involves currency exchange rate risk with respect to each of the currencies in which such securities trade. Exchange rate movements for a particular currency are volatile and are the result of numerous factors including the supply of, and the demand for, those currencies, as well as relevant government policy, intervention or actions, but are also influenced significantly from time to time by political or economic developments, and by macroeconomic factors and speculative actions related to the relevant region.

Investing in products linked to the Index is not equivalent to investing in the Index or its component ETFs or futures. Investors in products linked to the Index will not have voting rights or rights to receive dividends or other distributions or any other right with respect to the component ETFs of the Index.

Reliance on Information. Unless otherwise stated, all calculations are based on information obtained from various publicly-available sources. Morgan Stanley has relied on these sources and not independently verified the information extracted from these sources. Morgan Stanley shall not be liable in any way for any calculations it performs in reliance on such information. The information used to undertake the rebalancing will be the most up-to- date information available.

Research. Morgan Stanley may issue research reports on securities that are, or may become, constituents of an Index Component or on an Index Component. These reports are entirely independent of the Calculation Agent’s obligations hereunder. Morgan Stanley will be under no obligation to make any adjustments to the Index or to reflect any change in outlook by Morgan Stanley Research.

Conflicts of Interest. Morgan Stanley and its affiliates may from time to time engage in transactions involving constituents of an Index Component or one of the Index Components for their proprietary accounts and/or for accounts of their clients, may act as market-maker in such constituents and/or be providing underwriting, banking, advisory or other services to the issuers of such constituents. Such activities may not be for the benefit of the holders of investments related to the Index and may have a positive or negative effect on the value of the constituents or Index Components and consequently on the value of the Index. In addition, Morgan Stanley and its affiliates may from time to time act in other capacities, such as the issuer of investments, advisor thereof, calculation agent or index sponsor. Morgan Stanley and its affiliates may also issue derivative instruments in respect of such constituents or Index Components and the use of such derivatives may affect the value of the constituents or the Index. In its role in relation to investments linked to the Index, Morgan Stanley or its affiliates may enter into hedging transactions in respect of the constituents or related instruments which may or may not affect the value of such constituents or Index Components. In addition, the unwinding of such hedging transactions may also affect the value of such constituents or Index Components, which may in turn affect the value of the Index. Such activities may present conflicts of interest which may affect the level of the Index.
