1The Investor Fee is equal to 0.55% times the principal amount of your ETNs, times the Index Factor, calculated on a daily basis in the following manner: The Investor Fee on the inception date will equal zero. On each subsequent calendar day until maturity or early redemption, the Investor Fee will increase by an amount equal to the 0.55% times the principal amount of your ETNs times the Index Factor on that day (or, if such day is not an index business day, the Index Factor on the immediately preceding an index businees day) divided by 365. The Index Factor on any given day will be equal to the closing value of the Index on that day divided by the initial index level. The initial index level is the value of the Index on the inception date.

The Market Vectors Currency ETNs are senior unsecured debt obligations of Morgan Stanley that do not pay interest or guarantee the return of principal.
The amount investors will be paid on their Market Vectors Currency ETNs at maturity or on any earlier repurchase date will depend on the index closing value of the underlying index on the applicable valuation date(s) and on the amount of investor fees that will have accumulated with respect to the Market Vectors Currency ETNs. Because the investor fees reduce the amount of payment you may receive at maturity or upon any earlier repurchase, the level of the underlying index on the applicable valuation date(s) must increase sufficiently to compensate for the deduction of the investor fees in order for you to receive at least the stated principal amount of your Market Vectors Currency ETNs at maturity or upon our earlier repurchase. In order to require the issuer to repurchase the Market Vectors Currency ETNs, investors must make the request with respect to at least 50,000 Market Vectors Currency ETNs. Depending on the index level on the applicable valuation date(s), investors could lose a substantial portion or even all of their investment.
