1The Investor Fee is
equal to 0.65% 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 0.65% 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 business 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.
2Investors must
make a request to redeem at least 50,000 units of the Market
Vectors-Double Short Euro ETN directly to the issuer, Morgan Stanley,
subject to the procedures described in the relevant prospectus.
3Intraday Indicative
Values, calculated and published by Bloomberg or a successor under the
ticker symbol listed on this page, are meant to approximate the
intrinsic economic value of each ETN. Intraday Indicative Values are
for reference purposes only; not a price or quotation, or an offer or
solicitation for purchase, sale, redemption, or termination. Intraday
Indicative Values do not reflect transaction costs, credit
considerations, market liquidity, or bid-offer spreads. Actual trading
prices of ETNs may differ from their Intraday Indicative Values.
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 amount of your initial investment in the 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.
If the closing
indicative value of the ETNs is less than or equal to $1.00 per ETN for
any index business day, the maturity date of the ETNs will be
accelerated and the ETNs will return only a de minimis amount, or zero.
Market
Vectors Currency ETNs can be bought and sold through your broker at any
time and will be subject to brokerage commissions.
Market Vectors-Double Short Euro ETNs are subject to significant risk of loss.
Risks include leveraged exposure to: single currency exchange rates;
changes in the volatility of the underlying index; changes in the
currency markets during hours when the Market Vectors Currency ETNs are
not trading; changes in interest rate levels; government intervention
in the currency markets; geopolitical conditions and economic,
financial, regulatory, political, judicial or other events that affect
the foreign exchange markets; and Morgan Stanley’s creditworthiness.
Interest rates will also impact the level of the index, which will be
adversely affected if the interest rate on euros is greater than the
interest rate on U.S. dollars at any time during the term of the ETNs
and this interest rate differential is not offset by movements in the
spot exchange rate. In addition, the daily rebalancing of the index may
dampen the positive effect on the index level of decreases in the
euro’s value relative to the U.S. dollar, or it may amplify the
negative impact on the index level of increases in the euro’s value
relative to the U.S. dollar.
In addition, currency markets are
subject to temporary distortions or other disruptions due to various
factors, including lack of liquidity, participation of speculators and
government regulation and intervention. As a result, the market value
of the Market Vectors Currency ETNs will vary and may be less than the
amount of your initial investment at any time over the term of the ETNs.
Leveraged
investment strategies involve additional significant risk. Any movement
in the spot exchange rate or any differential between short term
interest rates will have a two times leveraged impact on the index.
