1 Morgan Stanley Dynamic Balance Index
2 Return MORGAN STANLEY DYNAMIC BALANCE INDEX Morgan Stanley Dynamic Balance Index A rules-based index offering risk-controlled exposure to a broad range of asset classes Diversified exposure in a risk-controlled way The Morgan Stanley Dynamic Balance Index offers you dynamic exposure to a range of asset classes using a set of rules based on modern portfolio theory principles. Modern portfolio theory is based on the relationship between risk and return and, in particular, how to generate the maximum possible return for a given level of risk in your portfolio (i.e., an efficient portfolio). Creating and managing a portfolio based on these principles can be challenging and impractical. As an alternative, taking exposure to the Morgan Stanley Dynamic Balance Index can offer you the benefits of this approach in one index, which aims to achieve: Diversification: the Index provides exposure across equities, short-term treasuries, bonds, alternative investments and cash. Optimization: the Index uses modern portfolio theory principles to target the highest possible return for a given level of risk. Dynamic exposure: the Index is rebalanced on a monthly basis to account for changing market conditions. Stability: the portfolio of assets included in the Index are monitored daily, to attempt to keep volatility under control and help stabilize returns. The Index is calculated on an excess return basis, meaning that the index levels represent the performance of the portfolio in excess of the Federal Funds rate. A servicing fee of 0.50% per annum (calculated on a daily basis) is included in the published level of the Index. WHAT IS AN EFFICIENT PORTFOLIO 5% Efficient portfolios: where you target the maximum return possible for a given level of risk Portfolio with maximum return for 5% volatility Inefficient portfolios: where you get less than the maximum return possible for a given level of risk Portfolio used by the Index: where you target the maximum return possible for 5% realized volatility (based on historical returns) Illustrative only Risk (Realized Volatility) Note on Simulated Returns: Back-testing and other statistical analyses provided herein use simulated analysis and hypothetical circumstances to estimate how the Index may have performed between May 3, 1999 and July 1, 2015, prior to its actual existence. The results obtained from such backtesting should not be considered indicative of the actual results that might be obtained from an investment in the Index. The actual performance of the Index may vary significantly from the results obtained from backtesting. Unlike an actual performance record, simulated results are achieved by means of the retroactive application of a back-tested model itself designed with the benefit of hindsight and knowledge of factors that may have possibly affected its performance. Morgan Stanley provides no assurance or guarantee that any product linked to the Index will operate or would have operated in the past in a manner consistent with these materials. Actual results will vary, perhaps materially, from the simulated returns presented in this document. Because certain ETFs included in the sub-asset classes existed for only a portion of the back-tested period, substitute data has been used for portions of the simulation. Wherever data for one or more ETFs did not exist, the simulation has included the value of each ETF s benchmark index less the relevant current expense ratio. 2
3 Constructing the Index The Index is built according to a series of rules that determine the allocation to each asset class and Index Component. These allocations are dynamic, meaning that the Index is able to react to changes in market conditions over time and aim for more stable returns. While the weights allocated to each Index Component are set on a monthly basis on average, the overall portfolio is also monitored daily, to maintain a consistent level of risk. Why is dynamic allocation important? Many traditional investments offer constant exposure to a universe of assets. However, returns from these investments can be variable, as these assets might not have consistent performance in different market conditions. Dynamic allocation can help to achieve more steady returns, as the allocation to each asset will be adjusted across different parts of the market cycle. A SIMPLE THREE-STAGE PROCESS Create optimized portfolio: Upon each rebalance, we look at the performance, volatility and correlation of each Index Component to select a portfolio that aims to deliver maximum returns for a given level of risk. Apply maximum exposure limits: To ensure the Index is diversified, we impose allocations to each Index Component within certain exposure limits, and adjust the portfolio accordingly. MONTHLY REBALANCE* Apply 5% volatility target: We monitor the performance of the portfolio daily, adjusting exposure between the portfolio and cash to maintain a consistent level of risk. * There are four rebalancings each month on pre-determined dates. On each of these dates, one quarter of the portfolio will be rebalanced. Designed by Morgan Stanley Morgan Stanley is a leading global financial services firm providing a wide range of investment banking, securities, wealth management and investment management services. With offices in more than 43 countries, the Firm s employees serve clients worldwide including corporations, governments, institutions and individuals. Over the years, Morgan Stanley has created a wide range of rules-based indices, capturing different investment strategies to help investors find opportunities to enhance the performance of their portfolios. 3
4 What Are the Index Components? The Index provides exposure to a wide range of asset classes via U.S.-listed ETFs and Futures (the Index Components ). To ensure the Index remains diversified, maximum exposure limits are set at both the asset class level and at the individual Index Component level.

The below chart shows the average exposure the Index would have taken to different asset classes over different years historically, including for periods prior to the establishment of the Index on July 1, The shifts in allocations over time demonstrate how the Index strategy would have reacted to different market cycles, and reallocated between different asset classes accordingly, for example: During the market rally of , the Index would have had over 60% average exposure to equities, bonds and alternatives. However, in the credit crisis, the Index would have had a 50% 80% average allocation to cash and short-term treasuries. In the post-crisis recovery period from 2010 to present, the Index would have increased its exposure to riskier asset classes (equities, bonds and alternatives) once more.

5 INDEX COMPOSITION MORGAN STANLEY DYNAMIC BALANCE INDEX How Does the Volatility Target Work? The Index aims to maximize returns across a diversified portfolio of assets for a defined level of risk. On each monthly rebalance, we select the portfolio of Index Components with the maximum possible return given a 5% annualized volatility. On a daily basis between rebalances, we monitor the volatility of this portfolio and adjust the exposure so that the targeted annualized volatility of the Index remains around 5%. This means that in higher volatility environments, the Index will take less exposure to the portfolio of Index Components and more exposure to cash. As volatility falls, the Index will take more exposure to the portfolio of Index Components (up to the maximum limit of 150%) and reduce the exposure to cash. The overall goal of this volatility target mechanism is for the returns of the Index to be smoother than they may otherwise be. What is the Exposure to the Portfolio of Index Components in Different Market Conditions? INCREASING VOLATILITY 3% REALIZED VOLATILITY 5% REALIZED VOLATILITY 10% REALIZED VOLATILITY MAXIMUM OF 150% EXPOSURE TO ASSET PORTFOLIO 100% EXPOSURE TO ASSET PORTFOLIO 50% CASH 50% EXPOSURE TO ASSET PORTFOLIO Source: Morgan Stanley, illustrative only Volatility Target Mechanism The aim of the volatility target mechanism is to stabilize the realized volatility of the Index to approximately 5%, but adjusting the allocation between the portfolio of Index Components and cash. Any reallocation between the portfolio of Index Components and cash resulting from the volatility target mechanism has to be at least 5%. The minimum and maximum exposure of the Index to the portfolio of Index Components are 0% and 150% respectively. The allocation to cash will be the difference between 100% and the actual exposure to the portfolio. What is Volatility? Volatility is a measure for how much the price of an asset has changed over time. An asset with low volatility will typically have a stable price, whereas an asset with high volatility will have a price that can fluctuate quite frequently and sharply. Higher volatility is therefore typically associated with higher risk. Historic volatility (also called realized volatility ) is calculated by looking at historical prices for an asset over a set period, and measuring how much these historical prices vary from the average historical price over that same period. Historically, realized volatility tends to be higher when markets are falling. The realized volatility of a portfolio can be decreased by reducing the allocation to volatile assets and replacing it with cash, which has close to no volatility. 5

7 Risk factors The following is a non-exhaustive list of key risk factors related to the Index. If you are considering purchasing or investing in a product linked to the performance of the Index, you should read and be aware of the risks inherent to this Index. You should also consult with your investment, legal, tax, accounting and other advisors prior to investing or purchasing such products. The Index may not increase in value due to a number of factors. The volatility of the Index could be greater than the target volatility. The volatility target may also dampen the performance of the Index in rising markets. It is possible that the Index may be composed of a very small number of ETFs at any time. Products linked to the Index involve risks associated with emerging markets equities, currency exchange rates and precious metals. The Index has a limited performance history and past performance is no indication of future performance. The Index is calculated on an excess return basis and has embedded costs. Purchasers of products linked to the index will have no access to the assets underlying the Index.
