Morgan Stanley paves access to UK property for retail investors

Morgan Stanley has launched four structured products offering access to UK commercial property, Asia (ex Japan) equity as well as two FTSE 100-linked products. The Morgan Stanley UK Commercial Property Growth Plan 1 provides full return of capital at maturity as well as returns linked to the IPD Annual Capital Growth Index. Potentially positive returns can be reaped even if the commercial property market is negative down to -35% over the 5.75-year investment term.

The Asia (ex-Japan) Protected Growth Plan 4 offers a return linked to an equally weighted basket of the Hong Kong Hang Seng Index and the MSCI Taiwan Index. The plan provides 200% participation in any positive performance in the basket level during the six-year investment and offers a potential early exit feature after three years.

On the equity side, the six-year FTSE Protected Growth Plan 23 provides a return linked to the FTSE 100 index and offers 140% of any positive performance of the index
