This material and the Morgan Stanley IQ tool do not provide individually tailored investment advice. Information derived from Morgan Stanley IQ has been prepared without regard to the individual financial circumstances and objectives of persons who receive it. The strategies and/or investments discussed therein may not be appropriate for all investors. Morgan Stanley Wealth Management recommends that investors independently evaluate particular investments and strategies, and encourages investors to seek the advice of a Financial Advisor.

Investment returns will fluctuate so that an investor’s shares when redeemed may be worth more or less than original cost. Investors should carefully consider the investment objectives and risks as well as charges and expenses.

The returns on a portfolio consisting primarily of Environmental, Social and Governance (“ESG”) aware investments may be lower or higher than a portfolio that is more diversified or where decisions are based solely on investment considerations. Because ESG criteria exclude some investments, investors may not be able to take advantage of the same opportunities or market trends as investors that do not use such criteria.

This publication is based on information from multiple sources and Morgan Stanley makes no representation as to the accuracy or completeness of information from sources outside of Morgan Stanley.  The investment examples are for illustrative purposes only and should not be deemed a recommendation to purchase, hold, or sell any securities or investment products.
