Singapore investors set to lose all in Pinnacle Notes

Investors in Singapore who bought Pinnacle Performance Notes Series 9 and 10, structured products arranged by Morgan Stanley, are set to lose their entire investment after a mandatory redemption event occurred. The total issue size of the Pinnacle Notes Series 9 and 10 was S$26 million, sold to about 700 retail investors.
