INVESTMENT SUMMARY

Use this Investment Summary to help you decide whether the portfolio comprising Humanoid Robotics: Emerging Contributors (the "Trust") is right for you. More detailed information can be found later in this Prospectus.

Investment Objective

The objective of the Trust is to provide long-term capital appreciation.

There is no guarantee that the Trust will achieve its investment objective.

Investment Strategy

The Trust uses a "buy and hold" strategy with a portfolio designed to remain fixed over its two-year life. Unlike a mutual fund, the Trust's portfolio is not managed.

Investment Concept and Selection Process

The Trust will seek to meet its objective by investing in domestic and foreign common stocks of companies that Morgan Stanley & Co. LLC Research ("MS&Co. Research") believes will have exposure to the humanoid robotics theme. Certain of the foreign issuers in the Trust are represented by American Depositary Receipts ("ADRs"), some of which are also issuers located in emerging markets.

The Sponsor, Morgan Stanley Smith Barney LLC, developed the Trust's portfolio by selecting certain securities from a wider range of publicly traded securities highlighted by MS&Co. Research in a February 6, 2025 report titled "The Humanoid 100: Mapping the Humanoid Robot Value Chain" (the "Report"). MS&Co. Research is a unit of Morgan Stanley & Co. LLC that provides timely, in-depth analysis of global economies, policy, markets, industries and companies. MS&Co. Research published the Report without regard to the Trust or its unitholders and has no obligation or liability with respect to the investment decisions made by the Sponsor in connection with the Trust (see Description of the Trust—The Portfolio).

In creating the Report, MS&Co. Research sought to identify companies it believes may play a role in the development and commercialization of humanoid robotics. Humanoid robotics is a theme within "Embodied AI", which refers to an emerging

field utilizing artificial intelligence ("AI") to interact with the physical world. Humanoids, as described in the Report, are robots designed to look, think, act, and move like humans.

MS&Co. Research began its process by collaborating across its global equity research team to explore the humanoid ecosystem. The selection process combined insights from MS&Co. Research's analysts, subject matter experts on essential technologies and participants, and proprietary research to identify the most relevant companies. Specifically, the selection process relied on MS&Co. Research's qualitative judgment, informed by each analyst's understanding of their respective coverage universe, including which companies are either currently contributing to the humanoid robotics theme or are reasonably likely to do so in the near future. While around half of the companies selected by MS&Co. Research are believed to be currently involved with humanoids, the rest were selected due to being close competitors of companies believed to be involved with humanoids or because MS&Co. analysts believe such companies are likely to become involved with humanoids.

MS&Co. Research then sorted the companies into three categories: "Brain", "Body" and "Integrators". This categorical framework is intended to organize the identified list of companies thematically, and not used to justify inclusion in the Report. The categories are described as follows:

• Brain (Semiconductors & Software)—This category includes, among others, companies that supply the computing power, AI, data capture and processing systems, simulation and training systems, and hardware that enables humanoid robots to process information and make decisions in real time.

• Body (Industrial Components)—This category includes, among others, companies that source and create the physical materials and components that allow humanoid robots to move and function, as well as their systems for creating energy, sensing their surroundings and improving automation and robotics. This category ranges from developing balance and coordination to precise movements and durability.

• Integrators (Developing Humanoids)—The companies in this category either build humanoid robots or are believed to have the potential to do so based on their current manufacturing businesses. It includes automotive companies, consumer electronic companies, e-commerce and internet

companies whose current technical expertise may be relevant to humanoid creation, mature robotics companies and newer developers of humanoids.

In assembling the Trust's portfolio, the Sponsor sought to include each company in the Report whose shares are rated "Overweight" or "Equal-weight" by MS&Co. Research that is represented by a domestic or foreign common stock traded on a U.S. exchange, or by a sponsored or unsponsored ADR traded on a U.S. exchange or in the over-the-counter market. MS&Co. Research assigns these ratings based on its expectations for a stock's total return over the next 12 to 18 months relative to an appropriate industry or country index, with "Overweight" indicating the stock is expected to exceed, and "Equal-weight" indicating it is expected to perform in line with, such index. The Sponsor then excluded the common stocks or ADRs of companies subject to any regulatory, tax, or trading related restrictions of the Sponsor (see Description of the Trust—The Portfolio for a complete discussion). As a result of this process, the Trust invests in 50 of the 100 companies identified in the Report. As of the Initial Date of Deposit, the Trust's portfolio invests all of its net assets in common stocks and ADRs of companies that MS&Co. Research believes will have exposure to the humanoid robotics theme.

The resulting portfolio primarily consists of mid- and large- capitalization common stocks of publicly traded domestic and foreign companies, as well as ADRs. As of the Initial Date of Deposit, the portfolio is concentrated in information technology companies and also invests significantly (at least ten percent of its net assets) in consumer product companies and industrials companies, as well as in companies with substantial operations in China and Japan (see Risk Factors). On the Initial Date of Deposit, the portfolio securities will be equally weighted, to the extent practicable, though such weightings will likely change during the life of the Trust due to market movements for each of the portfolio securities, among other factors (see Description of the Trust—Objective of the Trust).

After the Initial Date of Deposit, the Trust will continue to purchase (subject to any restrictions described under Description of the Trust—Structure and Offering) or hold the above-mentioned common stocks and ADRs, notwithstanding the fact that MS&Co. Research, or any affiliate, may revise its opinion with respect to any individual company. In particular,

any subsequent creation of a similar type of list of companies or an update by MS&Co. Research regarding the companies held by the Trust will not affect the composition of the Trust. Furthermore, although MS&Co. Research did not identify a specific time horizon associated with its thesis, the Trust has a maximum duration of twenty-four months and does not intend to change its composition prior to termination.

Principal Risk Factors

Holders can lose money by investing in the Trust. The value of your units will increase or decrease depending on the value of the common stocks and ADRs which make up the Trust. In addition, the amount of dividends you receive depends on each particular issuer's dividend policy, the financial condition of the issuers and general economic conditions.

Common Stocks. The Trust primarily consists of common stocks of domestic and foreign issuers. If you invest in the Trust, you should understand the potential risks generally associated with common stocks, which include, but are not limited to:

• The financial condition of the issuer may worsen.

• The rate of the dividends previously paid may be reduced or even eliminated.

• Geopolitical and other events (including but not limited to war, terrorism, economic uncertainty, trade and tariff disputes, extreme weather and climate-related events, instability in the global financial system, public health crises and spread of infectious illness) have led, and in the future may lead, to increased market volatility, which may disrupt the U.S. and world economies, individual companies and markets, and may have significant adverse direct or indirect effects on the Trust and its investments. Such events include the global coronavirus pandemic and its after effects, Russia's continued military actions against Ukraine, shifts in the banking sector, and the various attacks against Israel and related ongoing conflict, which have adversely impacted business activity and the economy on a global scale. It is possible and, indeed, likely that some or all of these global events will persist for the duration of the Trust.

• The stock market is also subject to volatile increases or decreases in value as market confidence in and perceptions of issuers change.

Industry Risks. In addition, the Trust's portfolio holdings are concentrated in securities of information technology companies. A Trust is considered to be "concentrated" in a particular industry or sector when the securities in a particular industry or sector constitute 25% or more of the total asset value of the portfolio. The Trust's portfolio also invests significantly in consumer product companies, and industrials companies. Please also refer to the "Risk Factors" section for a complete discussion of the corresponding risks for each of these sectors. Compared to the broad market, an individual industry or sector may be more strongly affected by:

• Highly competitive pressures on pricing.

• Changes in the interest rates and general economic conditions.

• Changes in the market prices of particular dominant common stocks within the industry.

• Approval by government agencies and changes in government regulation.

• Changing domestic and international demand for a particular product.

AI and Humanoid Robotics Risks. Due to its investments in companies that supply AI software and hardware for humanoid robotics and in companies that actively develop and integrate humanoid robotics, the Trust is subject to the following risks:

• Companies supplying AI-related software and hardware face risks related to the protection and potential loss of intellectual property rights, intense competition, and the possibility of rapid obsolescence of their products.

• Significant investments in research and development by such companies may not result in successful products or services, leading to financial losses.

• Companies involved in AI are likely more susceptible to cyberattacks and tend to exhibit higher volatility, impacting their financial stability and performance.

• Future regulatory scrutiny and trade agreements could restrict AI development and usage, while increased data privacy concerns may affect operational practices, potentially hampering growth and profitability.

In addition, companies focused on humanoid robotics face risks tied to the complex and unproven nature of the

technology. Such operations often require a significant allocation of capital and may not generate meaningful revenue during the life of the Trust. Even if the technology works as expected, adoption could lag due to limited demand for humanoid robotics, challenges related to building humanoid robotics, or the possibility that newer approaches and technologies may make existing ones obsolete.

Foreign Securities. The Trust's portfolio invests significantly in companies with substantial operations in China and Japan. Please refer to the "Risk Factors—Foreign Securities" section for a complete discussion of the corresponding risks associated with investments in these countries. More broadly, since the Trust's portfolio includes common stocks and ADRs of issuers located in foreign and emerging markets (as classified by MSCI), taking the form of a common stock traded on a U.S. exchange or represented by a sponsored or unsponsored ADR, the Trust may be negatively affected by the risks of investing in foreign securities, which include:

• The value of the U.S. dollar relative to the foreign currencies.

• Future political and economic developments.

• Possible withholding taxes.

• Differing accounting practices.

• Price volatility and/or liquidity issues, in particular for over-the-counter traded ADRs.

• Possible fees associated with distributions received from ADRs.

In addition to the foregoing risks, certain of the additional risks associated with emerging markets investments include:

• Political risks such as government instability, nationalization, restrictions on foreign ownership, or the adoption of laws or policies adverse to U.S. investors.

• Enhanced market risks attributable to limited liquidity or even market manipulation by insiders.

Over-the-Counter Securities. The Trust's portfolio invests significantly in securities traded in over-the-counter (OTC) markets. These securities may be less liquid, more volatile, and subject to wider bid-ask spreads than exchange-traded securities. OTC issuers may also provide less public information, increasing risks related to transparency and valuation.

Unmanaged Portfolio. The Trust's portfolio contains common stocks and ADRs issued by 50 companies, which means that Holders should anticipate more price volatility than would occur in an investment in a portfolio which contains a greater number of issuers. A unit investment trust is not actively managed and the Trust will not sell securities in response to ordinary market fluctuations. Instead, securities will not usually be sold until the Trust terminates, which could mean that the sale price of the Trust's securities may not be the highest price at which these securities traded during the life of the Trust. Also, this means that securities may remain in the Trust even though they no longer meet the criteria of the Trust's investment strategy or are no longer viewed favorably by MS&Co. Research or any affiliate. Further, there is no assurance that MS&Co. Research's overall thesis and underlying assumptions contained in the Report will be correct or that any individual company selected will benefit in the manner anticipated by MS&Co. Research.

Public Offering Price

On the first day units are made available to the public, the Public Offering Price will be approximately $10.00 per unit, with a minimum purchase of $1,000 ($250 for retirement accounts). The Public Offering Price is based upon the net asset value of the Trust, the latter of which is calculated by:

• Adding the combined market value of the securities in the Trust to any other assets held, including but not limited to cash, dividends receivable on securities trading ex-dividend, and

• Subtracting therefrom all liabilities of the Trust, which include, among others, any accrued fees and expenses of the Trust, taxes and undistributed income or capital.

The Public Offering Price per unit is calculated by dividing the net asset value of the Trust by the number of units outstanding (net asset value per unit) and adding an applicable initial sales charge. The Public Offering Price will change daily because prices of the underlying securities will fluctuate.

In addition, as of the close of the initial public offering period, a per unit amount sufficient to reimburse the Sponsor for organization costs, not exceeding the amount of estimated organization costs per Unit, nor the actual amount of such costs, whichever is lower, will be deducted from the assets of the Trust. Accordingly, the net asset value of your Units will decrease following this deduction. See "Public Sale of Units—Public Offering Price" and "Expenses and Charges—Initial Expenses".

FEE TABLE

This Fee Table is intended to help you to understand the costs and expenses that you will bear directly or indirectly based on a $10 Public Offering Price per Unit. Actual expenses will vary. See Public Sale of Units and Expenses and Charges. Although the Trust is a unit investment trust rather than a mutual fund, this information is presented to permit a comparison of fees.

Unitholder Transaction Expenses

	As a % of Public Offering Price			Amounts per 100 Units
Initial Sales Charge Imposed on Purchase (as a percentage of offering price)		0.00	%*	$	0.00
Maximum Deferred Sales Charge		2.40	%**	$	24.00
Maximum Sales Charge		2.40	%	$	24.00
Reimbursement to Sponsor for Estimated Organization Costs		0.500	%	$	5.00

Estimated Annual Trust Operating Expenses

	As a % of Net Assets			Amounts per 100 Units
Trustee's Fee		0.108	%	$	1.05
Other Operating Expenses		0.045	%***	$	0.44
Total		0.153	%	$	1.49

Example

This example helps you compare the cost of the Trust with other unit trusts and mutual funds. In the example we assume that the expenses do not change and that the Trust's annual return is 5%. Your actual returns and expenses will vary. Based on these assumptions, you would pay the following expenses for every $10,000 you invest in this Trust:

1 year				$	269
2 years (life of Trust)					280

* The initial sales charge is equal to the difference between the maximum sales charge of 2.40% and the sum of any remaining deferred sales charge. If the Unit price is less than $10.00 per Unit, there is no initial sales charge, and a credit is applied to ensure the maximum sales charge does not exceed 2.40%. If the Unit price exceeds $10.00 per Unit an initial sales charge is paid at the time of purchase. See Public Sale of Units—Public Offering Price for further detail on how the sales charges are calculated.

** The deferred sales charge is a fixed dollar amount equal to $0.240 per Unit. The deferred sales charge will be paid from the Trust to the Sponsor in five monthly installments. If the Unit price exceeds $10.00 per Unit, the deferred sales charge will be less than 2.40%; if the Unit price is less than $10.00 per Unit, the deferred sales charge will exceed 2.40%, however, the maximum sales charge will not exceed 2.40% due to a credit applied at the time of purchase. If Units are redeemed at any time prior to the Trust's final deferred sales charge payment, any uncollected portion of the $0.240 per Unit deferred sales charge amount will be deducted from the proceeds. Accordingly, the net asset value of your Units will decrease following each deferred sales charge payment. See Public Sale of Units—Public Offering Price for further detail.

*** "Other Operating Expenses" is based upon the estimated size of the Trust determined as of the Initial Date of Deposit. Because certain of the operating expenses are fixed amounts, if the Trust does not reach its estimated size or falls below the estimated size over its life, the actual amount of these operating expenses will likely exceed the amounts reflected. In some cases, the actual amount of operating expenses may substantially differ from the amounts reflected above. The estimate for "Other Operating Expenses" does not include brokerage costs and other transactional fees.

Sales Charge

The maximum aggregate sales charge is 2.40%. The initial sales charge is the difference between the maximum sales charge of 2.40% and the sum of the total deferred sales charge of $0.240 per Unit. The initial sales charge, if any, is paid directly from the amount invested. The deferred sales charge is paid in five monthly installments on the Deferred Sales Charge Payment Dates. Upon a repurchase, redemption or exchange of Units before the final Deferred Sales Charge Payment Date, any remaining deferred sales charge payments will be deducted from the proceeds. Accordingly, the net asset value of your Units will decrease following each deferred sales charge payment. The Trust's initial offering period is anticipated to last approximately six months from the Initial Date of Deposit.

Deferred Sales Charge Payment Dates

November 15, 2025, and the 15th day of each month thereafter, through March 15, 2026.

Termination Date

April 30, 2027, or at any earlier time by the Sponsor with the consent of Holders of two-thirds of the Units then outstanding or any earlier time as permitted or required by the Trust Indenture.

† The Initial Date of Deposit. The Initial Date of Deposit is the date on which the Trust Indenture between the Sponsor and the Trustee was signed and the deposit with the Trustee was made.

Opinion on the Statement of Financial Condition, Including the Portfolio of Investments

We have audited the accompanying Statement of Financial Condition of Morgan Stanley Portfolios, Series 81, comprising Humanoid Robotics: Emerging Contributors (the "Trust"), including the portfolio of investments, as of the opening of business on April 30, 2025 (Initial Date of Deposit), and the related notes (collectively, the "Statement of Financial Condition"). In our opinion, the Statement of Financial Condition presents fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Trust as of the opening of business on April 30, 2025 (Initial Date of Deposit), in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Basis for Opinion

This Statement of Financial Condition is the responsibility of the Trust's Sponsor. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on this Statement of Financial Condition based on our audit. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Trust in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the Statement of Financial Condition is free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Trust is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audit, we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Trust's internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.

Our audit included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the Statement of Financial Condition, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the Statement of Financial Condition. Our audit also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by the Trust's Sponsor, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the Statement of Financial Condition. Our procedures included confirmation of contracts to purchase securities, by correspondence with the broker, as shown in the Statement of Financial Condition as of the opening of business on April 30, 2025 (Initial Date of Deposit). We believe our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Notes to Statement of Financial Condition

(1) The Trustee has custody of and responsibility for all accounting and financial books and records. The Sponsor is responsible for preparation of the financial statements in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles based upon the books and records provided by the Trustee. The preparation of financial statements in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect amounts reported therein. Actual results could differ from these estimates.

(2) Aggregate cost to the Trust of the Securities listed under Portfolio of the Trust, on the Initial Date of Deposit, is determined by the Evaluator on the basis set forth in footnote 2 to the Portfolio. See also the column headed Market Value of Securities.

(3) A portion of the Public Offering Price consists of an amount sufficient to reimburse the Sponsor for all or a portion of the costs of establishing the Trust. These organization costs have been estimated at $0.05 per Unit for the Trust. A payment will be made as of the close of the initial public offering period to an account maintained by the Trustee from which the obligation of the investors to the Sponsor will be satisfied. To the extent that actual organization costs are greater than the estimated amount, only the estimated organization costs will be reimbursed to the Sponsor and deducted from the assets of the Trust.

(4) A deferred sales charge of $0.240 per Unit is payable in five installments on each of the Deferred Sales Charge Payment Dates. Distributions will be made to an account maintained by the Trustee from which the deferred sales charge obligation of the investors to the Sponsor will be satisfied. If Units are redeemed prior to the end of the initial offering period, the remaining portion of the deferred sales charge applicable to such Units will be transferred to such account on the redemption date. The net asset value of your Units will decrease following each deferred sales charge payment.

(5) The cost to investors represents the Public Offering Price (computed on the basis set forth under Public Sale of Units—Public Offering Price).

(6) Assumes a maximum aggregate sales charge of 2.40% of the Public Offering Price (2.459% of the net amount invested) computed on the basis set forth under Public Sale of Units—Public Offering Price.

DESCRIPTION OF THE TRUST

Objective of the Trust

The objective of Humanoid Robotics: Emerging Contributors (the "Trust") is to provide long-term capital appreciation through a convenient investment in a fixed portfolio (the "Portfolio") consisting of shares of domestic and foreign common stocks and ADRs (the "Securities"). The Trust's portfolio is comprised, initially, of Securities purchased, to the extent practicable, in approximately equal dollar amounts. Following the Initial Date of Deposit, the relative weightings of the Securities in the Trust's portfolio will likely vary for reasons including, but not limited to, changes in prices, round lot trading requirements, trading restrictions on a Security or corporate actions (see also Structure and Offering and Fixed Portfolio). The selection process is described in further detail under Investment Summary—Investment Concept and Selection Process.

Achievement of the Trust's objective is dependent upon several factors including the financial condition of the issuers of the Securities and any appreciation of the Securities. Furthermore, because of various factors, including without limitation, Trust sales charges and expenses, varying weightings of Securities following the Trust's Initial Date of Deposit, brokerage costs and any delays in purchasing securities with cash deposited, investors in the Trust may not realize as high a total return as the theoretical performance of the underlying Securities in the Portfolio.

You should note that the selection criteria were applied prior to the Initial Date of Deposit. After this time, the Securities included in your Trust may no longer meet the selection criteria. Should a Security no longer meet the selection criteria, the Sponsor will generally not remove the Security from the Trust nor refrain from purchasing the Security if additional Units are required. In offering the Units to the public, the Sponsor is not recommending any of the individual Securities but rather the entire pool of securities in your Trust, taken as a whole, which are represented by the Units.

Structure and Offering

This series of the Trust is considered a "unit investment trust." The Trust was created under New York law by a Trust Indenture (the "Indenture") between the Sponsor and the

Trustee. To the extent that references in this Prospectus are to articles and sections of the Indenture, which is incorporated by reference into this Prospectus, the statements made herein are qualified in their entirety by such reference. On the date of this Prospectus, each unit of the Trust (a "Unit") represented a fractional undivided interest in the Securities listed in the Portfolio of the Trust. Additional Units of the Trust will be issued in the amount required to satisfy purchase orders by depositing in the Trust cash (or a bank letter of credit in lieu of cash) with instructions to purchase Securities, contracts to purchase Securities together with irrevocable letters of credit, or additional Securities ("Additional Securities"). On each settlement date (generally one business day after the applicable date on which Securities were deposited in the Trust or as otherwise may be required under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 ("1934 Act")), the Units will be released for delivery to investors and the deposited Securities will be delivered to the Trustee. As additional Units are issued by the Trust, the aggregate value of the Securities in the Trust will be increased, and the fractional undivided interest in the Trust represented by each Unit will be decreased. There is no limit on the time period during which the Sponsor may continue to make additional deposits of Securities into the Trust.

Following the Initial Date of Deposit, additional deposits of cash or Securities in connection with the issuance and sale of additional Units will maintain, to the extent practicable, the same percentage relationship among the number of shares of each Security in the Portfolio of the Trust that existed immediately prior to the subsequent deposit (the "Proportionate Relationship"). The Proportionate Relationship will be adjusted to reflect the occurrence of a stock dividend, a stock split or a similar event which affects the capital structure of the issuer of a Security in the Trust but which does not affect the Trust's percentage ownership of the common stock equity of such issuer at the time of such event. It may not be possible to maintain the Proportionate Relationship because of, among other reasons, purchase requirements, changes in prices, brokerage commissions or unavailability of Securities. During the life of the Trust it may not be possible to buy a particular Security due to regulatory, trading or internal Sponsor (or affiliate) related restrictions, or corporate actions (see also Fixed Portfolio). While such limitations are in effect, additional Units would be created by purchasing each of the Securities in your Trust that are not subject to those limitations. This would also

result in the dilution (reduction in the proportional ownership) of the investment in any such Security not purchased and potential variances in anticipated income. Units may be continuously offered to the public by means of this Prospectus during the initial public offering period (see Public Sale of Units—Public Distribution) resulting in a potential increase in the number of Units outstanding.

The Public Offering Price of Units on any day will be based in part on the aggregate value of the Securities (including estimated brokerage commissions) in the Trust on that day at the Evaluation Time, plus an initial (if any) sales charge. The Public Offering Price for the Trust will thus vary in the future from the "Unit Price as of Initial Date of Deposit" set forth in the Summary of Essential Information. See Public Sale of Units—Public Offering Price for a complete description of the pricing of Units.

The Sponsor will execute orders to purchase Units in the order it determines, in good faith, that they are received. However, indications of interest received prior to the effectiveness of the registration of the Trust which become orders upon effectiveness will be accepted according to the order in which the indications of interest were received. Further, orders from such indications of interest that are made pursuant to the rollover option (see Rollover Option herein) will be accepted before any other orders for Units. Units will be sold to investors at the Public Offering Price next computed after receipt of the investor's order to purchase Units. The Sponsor reserves the right to accept or reject any purchase order in whole or in part.

The holders of Units ("Holders") of the Trust may redeem their Units in accordance with the provisions described under Redemption. If any Units are redeemed, the aggregate value of Securities in the Trust will be reduced and the fractional undivided interest in the Trust represented by each remaining Unit will be increased. Units of the Trust will remain outstanding until redeemed upon request to the Trustee by any Holder (which may include the Sponsor), or termination of the Indenture. See Administration of the Trust—Amendment and Termination.

The Portfolio

The Sponsor selected the Securities for the Trust by first referencing a list of securities identified by MS&Co. Research and then applying its own process as described in Investment

Summary—Investment Concept and Selection Process. The Sponsor and its affiliates may use the list of Securities included in the Trust and distribute this information to various individuals and entities in other forms, including research reports. In doing so, the Sponsor and its affiliates may issue reports, make recommendations to other clients or otherwise effect transactions in the Securities held by the Trust, which includes selling such Securities when a sale by the Trust would be impermissible. This may have an adverse effect on the prices of the Securities and, in turn, the value of the Units (see also Fixed Portfolio herein). This also may have an impact on the price the Trust pays for the Securities and the price received upon Unit redemptions or liquidation of the Securities. In addition, the Sponsor and its affiliates in their general securities businesses may act as agent or principal in connection with buying and selling securities, including the Securities held by the Trust, and may have bought the Securities held in the Trust, thereby benefiting. See under "Notes to Portfolio" and "Conflicts of Interest" in this Prospectus for information concerning the investment banking relationships, various other matters and roles as market-makers maintained by the Sponsor and its affiliates for certain of the Securities included in the Trust. In the future, the Sponsor and its affiliates may also provide or seek to provide investment banking or other services to any of the issuers of the Securities in the Trust. If these scenarios were to occur, the inclusion of such companies in the Trust would constitute a conflict of interest.

MS&Co. Research published the report referenced in the Investment Summary—Investment Concept and Selection Process without regard to the Trust or its unitholders and has no obligation or liability with respect to the investment decisions made by the Sponsor regarding the Trust. MS&Co. Research is not responsible for and has not participated in the determination of the prices and amount of Units, the timing of the issuance or sale of Units, or the determination of any related financial calculations. The Trust is not sponsored or endorsed by MS&Co. Research and MS&Co. Research makes no representation or warranty, express or implied, to the Holders of the Trust or any member of the public regarding the advisability of investing in Units of the Trust.

Prior to the initial deposit of the Trust, the Sponsor ensured that the securities identified for inclusion in the Trust, and their relative weightings, did not violate any regulatory, tax, trading and internal Sponsor (or Sponsor-affiliate) related restrictions and further, reasonably concluded that the securities were sufficiently liquid at the time of deposit.

The performance of Units of the Trust will differ from the performance of the underlying portfolio Securities for various reasons, including:

• sales charges and expenses of the Trust,

• the Portfolio may not be fully invested at all times,

• the Securities may be purchased or sold at prices different from the closing price used to determine the Trust's net asset value, and

• not all Securities may be weighted in the initial proportions at all times.

Additionally, the performance of Units for different Holders will vary depending on the net asset value per Unit on the days Holders bought and sold their Units. Purchasers of securities, including Units, will generally have to pay sales charges or commissions, which will reduce their total return.

All of the Securities are publicly traded either on a stock exchange or in the over-the-counter market (see Risk Factors—Foreign Securities). The contracts to purchase Securities deposited initially in the Trust are expected to settle in one business day (or as otherwise may be required by the 1934 Act), in the ordinary manner for such Securities.

The Trust consists of such Securities as may continue to be held from time to time in the Trust pursuant to the provisions of the Indenture (including the provisions with respect to the deposit into the Trust of Securities in connection with the sale of additional Units to the public) together with undistributed income therefrom and undistributed and uninvested cash realized from the disposition of Securities. See Administration of the Trust—Accounts and Distributions; Trust Supervision.

Neither the Sponsor nor the Trustee shall be liable in any way for any default, failure or defect in any of the Securities. However, in the event that any contract for the purchase of Securities fails, the Sponsor may seek to purchase replacement Securities in accordance with the Indenture. See Administration of the Trust—Trust Supervision.

Because certain of the Securities from time to time may be sold, or their percentage may be reduced under certain limited circumstances (see also Structure and Offering and Fixed Portfolio), or because Securities may be distributed in redemption of Units, no assurance can be given that the Trust

will retain for any length of time its present size. See Redemption; Administration of the Trust—Amendment and Termination. For Holders who do not redeem their Units, investments in Units of the Trust will be liquidated on the fixed date specified under Termination Date in the Summary of Essential Information, and may be liquidated sooner if the net asset value of the Trust falls below that specified under Minimum Value of the Trust set forth in the Summary of Essential Information. See Risk Factors.

Income

There is no assurance that dividends on the Securities will be declared or paid in the future.

Record and Distribution Days for the Trust are set forth under the Summary of Essential Information. Income distributions, if any, will be paid in cash, unless a Holder elects to reinvest his or her distributions in additional Units of the Trust. See Reinvestment Plan. Because dividends on the Securities are not received by the Trust at a constant rate throughout the year and because the issuers of the Securities may change the schedules or amounts of dividend payments, any distributions, whether reinvested or paid in cash, may be more or less than the amount of dividend income actually received by the Trust and credited to the income account established under the Indenture (the "Income Account") as of the Record Day.

RISK FACTORS

Common Stock

An investment in Units entails certain risks associated with any investment in common stocks. For example, the financial condition of the issuers of the Securities or the general condition of the common stock market may worsen and the value of the Securities and therefore the value of the Units may decline. Common stocks are especially susceptible to general stock market movements and to volatile increases and decreases in value as market confidence in and perceptions of the issuers change. These perceptions are based on unpredictable factors including:

• expectations regarding government economic, monetary and fiscal policies,

• inflation and interest rates,

• economic expansion or contraction, and

• global or regional political, economic or banking crises.

The Sponsor's, and/or its affiliates', buying and selling of the Securities, especially during the initial offering of Units of the Trust or to satisfy redemptions of Units, may impact the value of the underlying Securities and the Units. The publication of the list of the Securities selected for the Trust may also cause increased buying activity in certain of the Securities comprising the Portfolio. After such announcement, investment advisory and brokerage clients of the Sponsor and its affiliates may purchase individual Securities appearing on the list during the course of the initial offering period. Such buying activity in the stock of these companies prior to the purchase of the Securities by the Trust may cause the Trust to purchase stocks at a higher price than those buyers who effect purchases prior to purchases by the Trust.

Shareholders of common stocks have rights to receive payments from the issuers of those common stocks that are generally inferior to those of creditors or holders of debt or other obligations of such issuers. Shareholders of common stocks of the type held by the Trust have a right to receive dividends only when, if, and in the amounts, declared by the issuer's board of directors and have a right to participate in amounts available for distribution by the issuer only after all other claims on the issuer have been paid or provided for. The amount and/or frequency of dividends or other distributions paid to shareholders of common stock will under certain circumstances be adversely affected by the rights of an issuer's creditors and/or holders of debt obligations that are superior to such shareholders' rights.

Moreover, common stocks do not represent an obligation of the issuer and, therefore, do not offer any assurance of income or provide the same degree of protection of capital as do debt securities. The issuance of additional debt securities or other issuer obligations will create prior claims for payment of principal, interest and dividends which could adversely affect the ability and inclination of the issuer to declare or pay dividends on its common stock or the economic interest of holders of common stock with respect to assets of the issuer upon liquidation or bankruptcy. Further, unlike debt securities which typically have a stated principal amount payable at maturity, common stocks have neither a fixed principal amount

nor a maturity, and have values which are subject to market fluctuations for as long as they remain outstanding.

Holders will be unable to dispose of any of the Securities in the Portfolio, and will not be able to vote the Securities. As the holder of the Securities, the Trustee will have the right to vote all of the voting stocks in the Trust and will vote in accordance with the instructions of the Sponsor. However, the Trustee may not be able to vote any Securities in the Trust that are traded on foreign exchanges.

Market Disruption Risk

Geopolitical and other events, including but not limited to war, terrorism, economic uncertainty, trade and tariff disputes, extreme weather and climate-related events, instability in the global financial system, public health crises, and spread of infectious illness have led, and in the future may lead, to increased market volatility, which may disrupt the U.S. and world economies, individual companies and markets, and may have significant adverse direct or indirect effects on the Trust's Securities.

In particular, the global coronavirus pandemic and its after effects has led to increased levels of market distress and/or volatility, as well as decreased economic activity, any of which may have adversely impacted the Securities, and may further adversely impact the Securities during the life of the Trust. This public health crisis has resulted in disruptions to supply chains, manufacturing and sales across a wide range of industries.

Further, Russia's continued military actions in Ukraine have resulted in increased volatility in various financial markets and across various sectors. The U.S. and other countries, along with certain international organizations, have imposed economic sanctions on Russia and certain Russian individuals, banking entities and corporations as a response to the invasion. The extent and duration of the military action, resulting sanctions and future market disruptions in the region are impossible to predict. Moreover, the ongoing effects of the hostilities and sanctions may not be limited to Russia and Russian companies, and may spill over to and negatively impact other regional and global economic markets of the world, including Europe and the United States. The ongoing military action along with the potential for a wider conflict could further increase financial

market volatility and cause negative effects on regional and global economic markets, industries, and companies.

In addition, starting in March 2023, a number of banks in the U.S. and abroad began to experience shortages in liquidity, in some cases resulting in intervention by government agencies in order to ensure the safety of customer deposits as well as the orderly takeover of operations in the event of a bank's failure. Ongoing concerns about the health of regional and national banks facing continued liquidity constrained conditions may lead to further adverse developments in the financial markets.

The unexpected hostilities initiated by Hamas' surprise attack on Israel on October 7, 2023, have added to global geopolitical concerns. The continued aggression by Hamas, and by hostile state and non-state actors including Hezbollah and Iran, has further escalated tensions. This conflict could continue to further destabilize the region and introduce new uncertainties in global markets, highlighting the ever-changing nature of geopolitical risks.

It is not currently possible to determine the severity of any potential adverse impact of the foregoing events on the financial condition of any of the Trust's Securities, or more broadly, upon the global economy. It is possible and, indeed, likely that some or all of these global events will persist for the duration of the Trust.

Foreign Securities

The Trust has significant exposure to the securities of foreign issuers through its investments in common stocks of foreign companies traded on U.S. exchanges and in sponsored and unsponsored ADRs. There are certain risks involved in investing in securities of foreign companies, which are in addition to the usual risks inherent in U.S. investments. These risks include those resulting from:

• fluctuations in currency exchange rates or revaluation of currencies,

• future adverse political and economic developments and the possible imposition of currency exchange blockages, exchange control regulations, or other foreign laws or restrictions,

• international trade conditions,

• foreign withholding taxes and restrictions on foreign investments or exchange of securities,

• foreign markets that may be less liquid and more volatile than U.S. markets,

• reduced availability of public information concerning issuers, and

• the lack of uniform accounting, auditing and financial reporting standards or other regulatory practices and requirements comparable to those applicable to domestic companies.

The political, economic and social structures of some foreign countries may be less stable and more volatile than those in the U.S. and investments in these countries may be subject to the risks of internal and external conflicts, currency devaluations, foreign ownership limitations and tax increases. Some countries also may have different legal systems that may make it difficult for the Trust to vote proxies, exercise investor rights, and pursue legal remedies with respect to its foreign investments.

Diplomatic and political developments, including rapid and adverse political changes, social instability, regional conflicts, terrorism and war, could affect the economies, industries, and securities and currency markets, and the value of the Trust's investments, in non-U.S. countries. No one can predict the impact that these factors could have on the Trust's Securities.

It is expected that certain of the foreign companies will be held by the Trust in the form of ADRs, which generally involve the same types of risks as foreign common stock held directly. ADRs are issued by an American bank or trust company to evidence ownership of underlying securities issued by a foreign corporation. The ADRs held by the Trust trade in the U.S. in U.S. dollars and are registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"). The Trust may invest in sponsored or unsponsored ADRs. Unlike a sponsored ADR where the depositary has an exclusive relationship with the foreign issuer, an unsponsored ADR may be created by a depositary institution independently and without the cooperation of the foreign issuer. Consequently, information concerning the foreign issuer may be less current or reliable for an unsponsored ADR and the price of an unsponsored ADR may be more volatile than if it was a sponsored ADR. Depositaries of unsponsored ADRs are not required to distribute shareholder communications received from the foreign issuer or to pass through voting rights to its holders. The holders of unsponsored ADRs generally bear all the costs associated with establishing the unsponsored ADR, whereas the foreign issuers

typically bear certain costs in a sponsored ADR. Income from the foreign securities underlying the ADRs in the Trust will generally be payable in the currency of the country of their issuance. Distributions paid to the holders of ADRs may be subject to a transactional fee charged by the depositary. The ADRs held by the Trust may be securities that trade in the over-the-counter market, which may experience less liquidity and more volatility than exchange-listed securities. Some ADRs may experience less liquidity than the underlying common stocks traded in their home market.

With respect to certain foreign countries, there is the possibility of expropriation, nationalization, confiscatory taxation and limitations on the use or removal of funds or other assets of the Trust, including the withholding of dividends. Foreign securities may be subject to foreign government taxes that could reduce the yield on such securities. Since the Trust may invest in securities quoted in currencies other than the U.S. dollar, changes in foreign currency exchange rates may adversely affect the value of foreign securities in the Trust and the net asset value of Units of the Trust. Investment in foreign securities may also result in higher expenses due to the cost of converting foreign currency to U.S. dollars, the payment of fixed brokerage commissions on certain foreign exchanges, which generally are higher than commissions on domestic exchanges, and expenses relating to foreign custody.

Chinese Issuers

The Trust invests significantly in securities of issuers located and/or with substantial operations in China. The Chinese economy has grown rapidly in recent years and there is no assurance that this growth rate will be maintained. Further, the Chinese economy may experience substantial rates of inflation or economic recessions, causing a negative effect on the economy and securities market. Delays in enterprise restructuring, slow development of well-functioning financial markets and reported corruption have also hindered performance of the Chinese economy.

In addition to these economic challenges, the political and regulatory landscape in mainland China presents unique risks. The central government's policies towards private enterprise and foreign investment can change rapidly, impacting a wide range of sectors. Intermittent regulatory changes impacting various industries highlight the unpredictable nature of China's

regulatory environment, which can significantly affect market stability and investor confidence. Moreover, heightened control over information and media could affect business transparency and the accuracy of financial reporting.

Japanese Issuers

The Trust invests significantly in securities of issuers located and/or with substantial operations in Japan. Investments in securities of such issuers are exposed to Japan's economic cycles, stock market valuations and currency, which could increase the risk of such investments. In addition, political, social, regulatory, economic or environmental events that occur in Japan may adversely affect the values of securities of Japanese issuers and thus certain of the Trust's Securities.

The Japanese economy and equity markets could be adversely affected by pressure from trading partners—particularly the U.S.—to improve trade imbalances. Japan's economy is also vulnerable to instability and economic and political problems of its trading partners in China and Southeast Asia. Despite a strengthening in the economic relationship between Japan and China, the countries' political relationship has at times been strained in recent years. Japan also remains heavily dependent on imports, meaning that rising commodity prices could have a negative impact on the economy. Any increase in the value of the Japanese yen may cause a decline in exports that could weaken the Japanese economy. Japan has, in the past, intervened in the currency markets to attempt to maintain or reduce the value of the yen. Japanese intervention in the currency markets could cause the value of the yen to fluctuate sharply and unpredictably, with any such action having the potential to adversely affect the Japanese economy.

At times, the Japanese economy has been adversely impacted by a financial system with large levels of nonperforming loans, over-leveraged corporate balance sheets, extensive cross-ownership by major corporations, a changing corporate governance structure, and large government deficits. In addition, structural problems related to historical patterns of over-regulation, excessive government intervention and weak consumer demand continue in certain sectors may negatively affect the Japanese economy. Japanese securities may also be subject to lack of liquidity, taxation, government seizure of assets, different legal or accounting standards and less government supervision and regulation of exchanges than in

the U.S. Furthermore, the natural disasters that have impacted Japan in recent years, including earthquakes, tsunamis and typhoons, could negatively affect the Japanese economy.

Emerging Market Issuers

Certain of the ADRs or other securities in the Trust are issued by entities located in emerging markets. In general, the risks of investing in developing or emerging countries are even greater than the risks associated with foreign investments, which may make these investments volatile in price or difficult to trade. Political risks may include unstable governments, nationalization, restrictions on foreign ownership, laws that prevent investors from getting their money out of a country and legal systems that do not protect property rights as well as the laws of the United States. Market risks may include economies that concentrate in only a few industries, securities issues that are held by only a few investors, liquidity issues and limited trading capacity in local exchanges and the possibility that markets or issues may be manipulated by foreign nationals who have inside information.

Over-the-Counter Issuers

Certain of the ADRs or other securities in the Trust's portfolio trade in over-the-counter (OTC) markets. OTC securities are generally less liquid and more thinly traded than securities listed on national securities exchanges. As a result, they may be more difficult to buy or sell at favorable prices and may experience greater price volatility. These securities are typically subject to wider bid-ask spreads, which can increase trading costs and reduce returns. Additionally, issuers of OTC securities often provide limited publicly available information, which may make it more difficult to evaluate their financial condition, business prospects, or true market value. OTC securities may also be subject to less stringent reporting, disclosure, and regulatory standards, which can increase the risk of fraud, price manipulation, or other adverse developments. The reduced transparency and oversight in OTC markets may negatively impact the Trust's ability to accurately value or efficiently liquidate these holdings, particularly during periods of market stress or low trading volume.

Dividends

The amount of dividends you receive depends on each particular issuer's dividend policy, the financial condition of the companies and general economic conditions. Since the

Securities are primarily common stocks, and the income stream produced by dividend payments thereon is unpredictable, the Sponsor cannot provide any assurance that dividends will be sufficient to meet any or all expenses of the Trust. If dividends are insufficient to cover expenses, it is possible Securities will have to be sold to meet Trust expenses. See Expenses and Charges—Payment of Expenses. Any such sales may result in capital gains or losses to Holders. See Taxes.

Large Capitalization Company Risk

The Trust invests significantly in the common stocks and ADRs of large capitalization companies which are generally considered to have market capitalizations of $12.7 billion or more. Under certain market conditions, large capitalization companies may underperform small- and mid-capitalization companies, which may cause the Trust to underperform relative to the overall equity markets during the life of the Trust.

Mid Capitalization Company Risk

The Trust invests significantly in the common stocks and ADRs of mid-cap issuers, which are generally considered to include those companies with a market capitalization of at least $4.6 billion and less than $12.7 billion. Securities of mid-cap issuers may also present greater risks than those associated with large-cap issuers. For example, mid-cap issuers may have limited operating histories, product lines, markets, or financial resources. They may be subject to high volatility in revenues, expenses and earnings. Their securities may be thinly traded, may be followed by fewer investment research analysts and may be subject to wider price swings and, thus, may create a greater chance of loss than investments in securities of large-cap issuers. The market prices of securities of mid-cap issuers generally are more sensitive to changes in earnings expectations, to corporate developments and to market rumors than are the market prices of large-cap issuers. Transaction costs in securities of mid-cap issuers may be higher than in those of large-cap issuers.

Artificial Intelligence and Humanoid Robotics Risk

The Trust is directly exposed to the risks associated with artificial intelligence ("AI") through its investment in companies that supply AI-driven hardware and software for humanoid robotics and indirectly through its investments in

companies developing and integrating humanoid robotics solutions.

Companies supplying AI-driven hardware and software may have limited product lines, markets, financial resources or personnel, may face intense competition and potentially rapid product obsolescence, and typically are heavily dependent on intellectual property rights which may be adversely affected by loss or impairment of those rights. There can be no assurance these companies will be able to successfully protect their intellectual property, or that competitors will not develop technology that is substantially similar or superior to such companies' technology. These companies may spend significant amounts on research and development, and there is no guarantee that the products or services produced by these companies will achieve successful outcomes. Any of these companies may be potential targets for cyberattacks, which can adversely affect their respective performance. These companies also tend to be more volatile than companies that do not rely heavily on technology.

In addition to the risks described above, companies focused on humanoid robotics face challenges specific to the complex and unproven nature of the technology. Such operations often require a significant allocation of capital to design, test, and scale viable robotic solutions, and may not produce meaningful revenue during the life of the Trust. Even if technical progress is made, broader adoption of humanoid robotics could take longer than expected due to limited demand, workflow integration issues, or operational barriers. There is also the possibility that key technological breakthroughs may not occur during the life of the Trust, or that competing solutions will emerge that render current approaches obsolete before they reach meaningful scale.

Companies involved in AI-driven humanoid robotics may face regulatory scrutiny in the future, which may limit the development of this technology and impede the growth of companies that develop and/or utilize this technology. Similarly, the collection of data from consumers and other sources could face increased scrutiny as regulators consider how the data is collected, stored, safeguarded and used. There is also the risk of trade agreements between countries that develop these technologies and countries in which customers of these technologies are based. Lack of resolution or potential imposition of, or an increase in existing trade tariffs, may

adversely affect such companies' ability to produce or integrate AI-driven hardware and/or software, as applicable. Any adverse event affecting a particular country, region or industry to which a number of these companies are significantly exposed may have a negative impact on their performance, and ultimately on your Units.

Consumer Product Companies

The Trust invests significantly in the common stocks and ADRs of consumer product companies, a category which includes consumer discretionary and consumer staples companies. General risks of these companies include the overall state of the economy, intense competition and consumer spending trends. A decline in the economy which results in a reduction of consumers' disposable income can negatively impact spending habits. Global factors (including political developments, supply chain disruptions, international conflict, trade and tariff disputes disruptions in access to markets, imposition of import controls, fluctuations in oil prices, increasing interest rates, and changes in exchange rates) may adversely affect issuers of consumer products and services.

Competitiveness in the retail industry may require large capital outlays for the installation of automated checkout equipment to control inventory, track the sale of items and gauge the success of sales campaigns. Retailers who sell their products over the internet have the potential to access more consumers, but may require sophisticated technology to remain competitive. Changes in demographics and consumer tastes can also affect the demand for, and the success of, consumer products and services in the marketplace. Consumer products and services companies may be subject to government regulation affecting their products and operations which may negatively impact performance.

Industrials Companies

The Trust invests significantly in the common stocks and ADRs of industrials companies. General risks of industrials companies include the general state of the economy, intense competition, imposition of import controls, volatility in commodity prices, currency exchange rate fluctuation, consolidation, labor relations, government regulation, supply chain disruptions, domestic and international politics, excess capacity and consumer spending trends.

Companies in the industrials sector may be adversely affected by liability for environmental damage and product liability claims. Capital goods companies may also be significantly affected by overall capital spending and leverage levels, economic cycles, technical obsolescence, delays in modernization, limitations on supply of key materials, depletion of resources, government regulations, government contracts and e-commerce initiatives.

Industrials companies may also be affected by factors more specific to their individual industries. Industrial machinery manufacturers may be subject to declines in commercial and consumer demand and the need for modernization. Aerospace and defense companies may be influenced by decreased demand for new equipment, order cancellations, disputes over or ability to obtain or retain government contracts, changes in government budget priorities or defense spending policies, changes in aircraft-leasing contracts and cutbacks in profitable business travel. The number of housing starts, levels of public and nonresidential construction including weakening demand for new office and retail space, and overall construction spending may adversely affect construction materials and equipment manufacturers.

Stocks of transportation companies are cyclical and can be significantly affected by economic changes, fuel prices and insurance costs. Transportation companies in certain countries may also be subject to significant government regulation and oversight, which may negatively impact their businesses.

Information Technology Companies

The Trust is concentrated in the common stocks and ADRs of information technology companies. These include companies that are involved in computer and business services, enterprise software/technical software, internet and computer software, internet-related services, networking and telecommunications equipment, telecommunications services, electronics products, server hardware, computer hardware and peripherals, semiconductor capital equipment and semiconductors. These companies face risks related to rapidly changing technology, rapid product obsolescence, government regulation, competition from foreign competitors with lower production costs, supply chain disruptions affecting the production of hardware and equipment, cyclical market patterns, the loss of patent, copyright and trademark protections, evolving industry standards and frequent new product introductions. An

unexpected change in technology can have a significant negative impact on a company. The failure of a company to introduce new products or technologies or keep pace with rapidly changing technology, can have a negative impact on the company's results. Information technology stocks tend to experience substantial price volatility and speculative trading. Information technology companies are heavily dependent on patent and intellectual property rights, the loss or impairment of which may adversely affect profitability. Additionally, companies in the technology sector may face dramatic and often unpredictable changes in growth rates and competition for the services of qualified personnel. Announcements about new products, technologies, operating results or marketing alliances can cause stock prices to fluctuate dramatically. At times, however, extreme price and volume fluctuations are unrelated to the operating performance of a company. This can impact your ability to redeem your Units at a price equal to or greater than what you paid.

Fixed Portfolio

Investors should be aware that the Trust is not "managed" and as a result, the adverse financial condition of a company will not result in the elimination of its securities from the Portfolio of the Trust except under certain limited circumstances. Investors should note in particular that the Securities were selected on the basis of the criteria set forth under Investment Summary—Investment Concept and Selection Process and that the Trust will generally continue to purchase or hold Securities originally selected through these criteria even though a Security may no longer meet all of the selection criteria. A number of the Securities in the Trust may also be owned by other clients of the Sponsor. However, because these clients may have differing investment objectives, the Sponsor and/or its affiliates may sell or recommend selling certain Securities from those accounts in instances where a sale by the Trust would be impermissible, such as to maximize return by taking advantage of market fluctuations. See Administration of the Trust—Trust Supervision. This may have an adverse effect on the prices of the Securities. In the event a public tender offer is made for a Security or a merger or acquisition is announced affecting a Security, the Sponsor shall instruct the Trustee to accept or reject such offer or take any other action with respect thereto as the Sponsor deems proper.

The Portfolio is regularly reviewed and evaluated and although the Sponsor may instruct the Trustee to sell Securities under certain limited circumstances, Securities will not be sold by the Trust to take advantage of market fluctuations or changes in anticipated rates of appreciation. As a result, the amount realized upon the sale of the Securities may not be the highest price attained by an individual Security during the life of the Trust. The prices of single shares of each of the Securities in the Trust vary widely, and the effect of a dollar of fluctuation, either higher or lower, in common stock prices will be much greater as a percentage of the lower-price stocks' purchase price than as a percentage of the higher-price stocks' purchase price.

Additional Securities

Investors should note that in connection with the issuance of additional Units during the Public Offering Period, the Sponsor may deposit cash (or a letter of credit in lieu of cash) with instructions to purchase Securities, additional Securities or contracts to purchase Securities, in each instance maintaining the Proportionate Relationship, subject to adjustment under certain circumstances (for instance, to avoid exceeding the limits on investment companies relating to the acquisition of stocks or securities of securities-related issuers). To the extent the price of a Security increases or decreases between the time cash is deposited with instructions to purchase the Security and the time the cash is used to purchase the Security, Units may represent less or more of that Security and more or less of the other Securities in the Trust. In addition, brokerage fees (if any) incurred in purchasing Securities with cash deposited with instructions to purchase the Securities will be an expense of the Trust. Price fluctuations between the time of deposit and the time the Securities are purchased, and payment of brokerage fees, will affect the value of every Holder's Units and the income per Unit received by the Trust.

Organization Costs

The Securities purchased with the portion of the Public Offering Price intended to be used to reimburse the Sponsor for the Trust's organization costs will be purchased in accordance with the Proportionate Relationship. Securities will be sold to reimburse the Sponsor for the Trust's organization costs after the completion of the initial public offering period, which is expected to be approximately six months, and in any event not later than six months, from the Initial Date of

Deposit (a significantly shorter time period than the life of the Trust). As a result, the net asset value of the Trust will decrease to the extent of such reimbursement. Since this reimbursement to the Sponsor occurs on a one time basis following the close of the initial public offering period, with respect to Units held after the reimbursement has been completed, you will pay the full per Unit amount of any such organization costs even if you redeem your Units prior to the Termination Date.

During the initial public offering period, there may be a decrease in the value of the Securities. To the extent the proceeds from the sale of these Securities are insufficient to repay the Sponsor for the Trust organization costs, the Trustee will sell additional Securities to allow the Trust to fully reimburse the Sponsor. In that event, the net asset value per Unit will be reduced by the amount of additional Securities sold. Although the dollar amount of the reimbursement due to the Sponsor will remain fixed and will never exceed the amount set forth under "Reimbursement to Sponsor for Organization Costs" in the Fee Table, this will result in a greater effective cost per Unit to Holders for the reimbursement to the Sponsor. When Securities are sold to reimburse the Sponsor for organization costs, the Trustee will sell such Securities to an extent which will maintain, to the extent practicable, the Proportionate Relationship.

Termination

The Trust may be terminated early and all outstanding Units liquidated if the net asset value of the Trust falls below $1,000,000 or less than 40% of the net asset value of the Trust at the completion of the initial public offering period. As the size of the Trust decreases, the Trust's expenses may create an undue burden on your investment. Investors should note that if the net asset value of the Trust should fall below the applicable minimum value, or is expected to fall below such applicable minimum value as a result of one or more redemption requests received by the Sponsor, the Sponsor may then in its sole discretion terminate the Trust before the Termination Date specified in the Summary of Essential Information. See Administration of Trust—Amendment and Termination for a more detailed discussion of situations which may lead to the termination of the Trust.

Cybersecurity Risk

With the increased use of technologies such as the internet to conduct business, the Trust is susceptible to operational, information security and related risks. Cybersecurity incidents involving the Trust and its service providers (including, without limitation, the Sponsor and the Trustee) have the ability to cause disruptions and impact business operations, potentially resulting in financial losses, impediments to trading, the inability of Holders to transact business, violations of applicable privacy and other laws, regulatory fines, penalties, reputational damage, reimbursement or other compensation costs, and/or additional compliance costs. Similar adverse consequences could result from cybersecurity incidents affecting issuers of securities in which the Trust invests, counterparties with which the Trust engages, governmental and other regulatory authorities, exchanges and other financial market operators, banks, brokers, dealers, insurance companies, other financial institutions and other parties. The Trust and its Holders could be negatively impacted as a result.

Conflicts of Interest

Certain of the Securities selected for the Trust are subject to conflicts of interest. The Sponsor selected the Securities for the Trust through the process described under "Investment Summary and Selection Process". The Sponsor and its affiliates have a range of relationships with certain of the companies contained in the Trust. The inclusion of these companies in the Trust constitutes a conflict of interest, as set forth in detail under "Notes to Portfolio".

Legal Proceedings and Legislation

At any time after the Initial Date of Deposit, legal proceedings may be initiated on various grounds, or legislation may be enacted, with respect to any of the Securities in the Trust or to matters involving the business of the issuer of the Securities. There can be no assurance that future legal proceedings or legislation will not have a material adverse impact on the Trust or will not impair the ability of the issuers of the Securities to achieve their business and investment goals.

PUBLIC SALE OF UNITS

Public Offering Price

The Public Offering Price of the Units for the Trust is computed by adding any applicable initial sales charge to the net asset value per Unit of the Trust. The net asset value per Unit of the Trust is determined by the Trustee in accordance with the Indenture. The total sales charge is equal, in the aggregate, to a maximum charge of 2.40% of the Public Offering Price (2.459% of the net amount invested in Securities).

In addition, as of the close of the initial offering period a per Unit amount sufficient to reimburse the Sponsor for organization costs, not exceeding the amount of estimated organization costs, nor the actual amount of such costs, whichever is lower, will be deducted from the assets of the Trust, reducing the net asset value of all Units, including those which are subject to any of the sales charge reductions described below. See Investment Summary—Public Offering Price and Expenses and Charges—Initial Expenses.

The initial sales charge is equal to the difference between the total sales charge (maximum of 2.40% of the Public Offering Price) and the sum of the maximum fixed dollar amount of the remaining deferred sales charge (initially $0.240 per Unit). As a result, on the Initial Date of Deposit and any other day the Public Offering Price equals $10.00 per Unit, purchasers will pay no initial sales charge. If the Public Offering Price exceeds $10.00 per Unit purchasers will pay an initial sales charge calculated as described above. If the Public Offering Price is less than $10.00 per Unit, purchasers will receive a credit at the time of purchase equal to the difference between their applicable total sales charge (maximum of 2.40% of the Public Offering Price) and the fixed dollar amount of the remaining deferred sales charge (a "Credit"). The initial sales charge, if any, is deducted from the purchase price of a Unit at the time of purchase and paid to the Sponsor.

The deferred sales charge of $0.240 per Unit is accrued in five monthly installments and will be charged to the Trust's capital account established under the Indenture (the "Capital Account") on the dates specified in the Summary of Essential Information—Deferred Sales Charge Payment Dates. As a result of the deferred sales charge being a fixed dollar amount, if the

Public Offering Price exceeds $10.00 per Unit, the deferred sales charge will be less than 2.40%, and as noted above, an initial sales charge will apply. If the Public Offering Price is less than $10.00 per Unit, the deferred sales charge will exceed 2.40%, in which case a Credit will be applied to ensure the purchaser is not charged more than the maximum of 2.40% of the Public Offering Price. If a Deferred Sales Charge Payment Date is not a business day, the payment will be charged to the Trust on the next business day. To the extent that the entire deferred sales charge of $0.240 per Unit has not been deducted at the time of repurchase or redemption of Units prior to the final date specified in the Summary of Essential Information—Deferred Sales Charge Payment Dates, any unpaid amount will be deducted from the proceeds. Accordingly, the net asset value of your Units will decrease following each deferred sales charge payment. Units purchased pursuant to the Reinvestment Plan are not subject to the remaining applicable deferred sales charge deduction. See Reinvestment Plan.

Purchasers on the Initial Date of Deposit (the first day Units will be available to the public), will be able to purchase Units at approximately $10.00 each. To allow Units to be priced at approximately $10.00, the Units outstanding as of the Evaluation Time on the Initial Date of Deposit (all of which are held by the Sponsor), will be split (or split in reverse). The Public Offering Price on any subsequent date will vary from the Public Offering Price on the Initial Date of Deposit (set forth under Investment Summary) in accordance with fluctuations in the aggregate value of the underlying Securities. Units will be sold to investors at the Public Offering Price next determined after receipt of the investor's purchase order.

Valuation of Securities by the Evaluator is made as of the close of business on the New York Stock Exchange on each business day. For this purpose, the Trustee provides the Evaluator with closing prices from a reporting service approved by the Evaluator. Securities quoted on a national stock exchange or the Nasdaq National Market System are valued at the closing sale price. When a market price is not readily available, including certain extraordinary corporate events, events in the securities market and/or events as a result of which the Evaluator determines that a Security's market price is not accurate, a portfolio Security is valued at its fair value, as determined by the Evaluator or an independent pricing service used by the Evaluator. In these cases, the Trust's net asset value will reflect

certain portfolio Securities' fair value rather than their market price. With respect to any Securities that are primarily listed on foreign exchanges, the value of the portfolio Securities may change on days when you will not be able to purchase or sell Units. The value of any foreign securities purchased on a foreign exchange is based on the applicable currency exchange rate as of the Evaluation Time.

Morgan Stanley employees, including those of affiliates, and employee-related accounts according to Morgan Stanley's account linking rules, may purchase Units at the Public Offering Price per Unit less a 2.00% discount applied at the time of purchase.

Since each deferred sales charge payment is a fixed dollar amount per Unit, the Trust must charge these amounts per Unit regardless of any discounts, including those provided with respect to Units purchased in Fee-Based Accounts. However, purchasers eligible to receive a discount such that their total sales charge is less than the aggregate fixed dollar amount of the deferred sales charge payments will receive a Credit equal to the difference between their applicable total sales charge and this aggregate fixed dollar amount at the time Units are purchased.

Fee-Based Accounts

The Sponsor may offer Units for purchase through a registered investment adviser, certified financial planner or registered broker dealer who either charges periodic fees for brokerage services, financial planning, investment advisory or asset management services, or provides such services in connection with the establishment of an investment account ("Fee-Based Account") for which a comprehensive "wrap fee" is charged on assets held in such an account, which generally would include the value of any Units held in the Fee-Based Account. If the Sponsor elects to offer Units for purchase by Fee-Based Accounts, then purchasers of such Units will not be subject to the sales charge due to the application of a Credit, or pay any other fees to the Sponsor.

You should consult your financial professional to determine whether you can benefit from purchasing Units through a Fee-Based Account. To purchase Units in these Fee-Based Accounts, your financial professional must purchase Units designated with the "Wrap Fee" CUSIP number set forth under "Summary of Essential Information".

Public Distribution

Units will be distributed to the public at the Public Offering Price through the Sponsor, as sole underwriter of the Trust. The Sponsor intends to qualify Units of the Trust for sale in all states of the United States where qualification is deemed necessary by the Sponsor.

Underwriter's and Sponsor's Profits

The Sponsor, as sole underwriter, receives a gross underwriting commission equal to the maximum sales charge per Unit (subject to reduction for purchasers as described under Public Offering Price above). A portion of the sales charge is paid to the financial professional assisting with the sale of Units of the Trust.

In the event that subsequent deposits are effected by the Sponsor with the deposit of securities (as opposed to cash or a letter of credit) with respect to the sale of additional Units to the public, the Sponsor may realize a profit or loss, which equals the difference between the cost of the Securities to the Trust and the Sponsor's purchase price of such Securities. The Sponsor also may realize profits or sustain losses as a result of fluctuations in the Public Offering Price of any Units held by the Sponsor for sale to investors. Cash, if any, made available by buyers of Units to the Sponsor prior to the settlement dates for purchase of Units may be used in the Sponsor's business and may be of benefit to the Sponsor.

The Sponsor and/or its affiliates provide a vast array of financial services to a large number of companies globally and receive compensation for those services from such companies, some of which are issuers of the securities in the Trust's portfolio (see Notes to Portfolio). During the last twelve months, the Sponsor and/or its affiliates, have acted as underwriter, manager or co-manager of a public offering of the securities of, provided investment banking services to, or maintained a market in the securities of certain of the companies in the portfolio of the Trust and/or may seek to do so in the future. The Sponsor and/or its affiliates also provide additional services, including but not limited to corporate banking, securities underwriting, brokerage, research, asset management and trading, to various companies. Holders should know that the Sponsor and/or its affiliates have received, receive or seek to receive compensation for those services from such companies, which include certain of the companies in the portfolio of the Trust (see Notes to

Portfolio). As noted above, the inclusion of any such company in the Trust would constitute a conflict of interest. Please refer to the Conflicts of Interest section and the Notes to Portfolio for additional information.

In maintaining a market for the Units (see Market for Units), the Sponsor will also realize profits or sustain losses in the amount of any difference between the prices at which it buys Units and the prices at which it subsequently resells them or the prices at which the Securities are sold after it redeems such Units to the Trustee, as the case may be.

MARKET FOR UNITS

While the Sponsor is not obligated to do so, its intention is to maintain a market for Units and offer continuously to purchase Units from the Initial Date of Deposit at prices, subject to change at any time, based upon the net asset value per Unit.

The Sponsor may discontinue purchases of Units if the supply of Units exceeds demand or for any other business reason. The Sponsor does not in any way guarantee the enforceability, marketability or price of any Securities in the Portfolio or of the Units. On any given day, however, the price offered by the Sponsor for the purchase of Units shall be an amount not less than the net asset value per Unit on the date on which the Units of the Trust are tendered for redemption. Regardless of whether the Sponsor maintains a market for Units, a Holder will be able to dispose of Units by tendering them for redemption. See Redemption.

The Sponsor may redeem any Units it has purchased in the secondary market to the Trustee at any time. Among the factors which the Sponsor may consider in making such a determination include the number of units of all series of unit trusts which it has in its inventory, the saleability of such units and its estimate of the time required to sell such units and general market conditions. For a description of certain consequences of such redemption for the remaining Holders, see Redemption.

REDEMPTION

You may redeem all or a portion of your Units at any time by sending a request for redemption to your financial professional. Alternatively, you may tender your Units for redemption directly to the Trustee. Although no redemption fee will be

charged, your redemption proceeds will be subject to any unpaid portion of the deferred sales charge, and you will be responsible for taxes (or other governmental charges) that may apply. The redemption proceeds you receive will be based on the net asset value per Unit as of the Evaluation Time next following the time you tender your Units for redemption. You will be entitled to receive your redemption proceeds within one business day after the day you tender.

The Trustee is empowered to sell Securities in order to make funds available for redemption if funds are not otherwise available in the Capital and Income Accounts to meet redemptions. See Administration of the Trust—Accounts and Distributions. The Trustee will sell Securities from the Trust's portfolio on a pro rata basis unless the Sponsor has supplied a current list of designated Securities from which the Trustee may select the Securities to be sold. Provision is made in the Indenture under which the Sponsor may, but need not, specify minimum amounts in which blocks of Securities are to be sold in order to obtain the best price for the Trust. While these minimum amounts may vary from time to time in accordance with market conditions, the Sponsor believes that the minimum amounts which would be specified would be a sufficient number of shares to obtain institutional rates of brokerage commissions (generally between 1,000 and 5,000 shares).

Any amounts paid on redemption representing income received will be withdrawn from the Income Account to the extent funds are available (an explanation of such Account is set forth under Administration of the Trust—Accounts and Distributions).

A Holder may tender Units for redemption on any weekday (a "Tender Day") the New York Stock Exchange is open. The right of redemption may be suspended and payment postponed for any period, in accordance with applicable law, (1) during which the New York Stock Exchange, Inc. is closed other than for customary weekend and holiday closings, (2) during which the trading on that Exchange is restricted or an emergency exists as a result of which disposal or evaluation of the Securities is not reasonably practicable or (3) for such periods as the SEC may by order permit.

The aggregate value of the Securities shall be determined by the Trustee in good faith in the following manner: if the Securities are listed on a national securities exchange or the Nasdaq

National Market System, such evaluation shall generally be based on the closing sale price on such exchange. When a market price is not readily available, including certain extraordinary corporate events, events in the securities market and/or world events as a result of which the Evaluator determines that a Security's market price is not accurate, a portfolio Security is valued at its fair value, as determined under procedures established by the Evaluator or an independent pricing service used by the Evaluator. The value of any foreign securities purchased on a foreign exchange is based on the applicable currency exchange rate as of the Evaluation Time.

A redemption is a taxable event and may result in capital gain income or loss to the Holder. See Taxes.

EXPENSES AND CHARGES

Initial Expenses—Holders will reimburse the Sponsor on a per Unit basis, for all or a portion of the estimated costs incurred in organizing the Trust including the cost of the initial preparation, printing and execution of the registration statement and the Indenture, federal and state registration fees, the initial fees and expenses of the Trustee, legal expenses and any other out-of-pocket costs. Since the estimated organization costs will be paid from the assets of the Trust as of the close of the initial public offering period, Holders will have paid the full per Unit amount of any such organization costs even if Units are redeemed prior to the Termination Date. To the extent that actual organization costs are less than the estimated amount, only the actual organization costs will be deducted from the assets of the Trust. To the extent that actual organization costs are greater than the estimated amount, only the estimated organization costs will be reimbursed to the Sponsor. Any balance of the expenses incurred in establishing the Trust, as well as advertising and selling expenses, will be paid at no cost to the Trust. The payment of organization costs from the assets of the Trust to the Sponsor serves only to reimburse the Sponsor for the various payments made to unaffiliated entities on behalf of the Trust, and does not in any way serve to compensate the Sponsor.

Trustee's Fees—The Trustee's fees are set forth under Summary of Essential Information. The Trustee receives for its services as Trustee and Distribution Agent, payable in monthly installments, the amount set forth under Summary of Essential Information. The Trustee's fee (in respect of services as Trustee),

payable monthly, is based on the largest number of Units outstanding during the preceding month. Certain regular and recurring expenses of the Trust, including certain mailing and printing expenses, are borne by the Trust. The Trustee receives benefits to the extent that it holds funds on deposit in the various non-interest bearing accounts created under the Indenture.

The Trustee's fees may be increased without approval of Holders in proportion to increases under the classification "Services Less Rent of Shelter" in the Consumer Price Index for All Urban Consumers published by the United States Department of Labor.

The estimated expenses set forth in the Fee Table do not include the brokerage commissions payable by the Trust in purchasing or redeeming Securities.

Other Charges—These include: (1) fees of the Trustee for extraordinary services (for example, making distributions due to failure of contracts for Securities), (2) expenses of the Trustee incurred for the benefit of the Trust (including legal and auditing expenses) and expenses of counsel designated by the Sponsor, (3) various governmental charges and fees and expenses for maintaining the Trust's registration statement with federal and state authorities, (4) expenses and costs of action taken by the Sponsor, in its discretion, or the Trustee, in its discretion, to protect the Trust and the rights and interests of Holders (for example, expenses in exercising the Trust's rights under the underlying Securities), (5) any foreign custodial and transaction fees (which may include compensation paid to the Trustee or its subsidiaries or affiliates), (6) indemnification of the Trustee for any losses, liabilities and expenses incurred without negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct on its part, (7) indemnification of the Sponsor for any losses, liabilities and expenses incurred without gross negligence, bad faith, willful misconduct or reckless disregard of their duties and (8) expenditures incurred in contacting Holders upon termination of the Trust. The amounts of these charges and fees are secured by a lien on the Trust.

Payment of Expenses—Funds necessary for the payment of the above fees will be obtained in the following manner: (1) first, by deductions from the Income Account (see below); (2) to the extent the Income Account funds are insufficient, by distribution from the Capital Account (see below) (which will

reduce distributions from such accounts); and (3) to the extent the Income and Capital Accounts are insufficient, by selling Securities from the Portfolio and using the proceeds to pay the expenses. Each of these methods of payment will result in a reduction of the net asset value per Unit. Payment of the Deferred Sales Charge will be made in the manner described under Administration of the Trust—Accounts and Distributions below.

Since the Securities are primarily common stocks, and the income stream produced by dividend payments thereon is unpredictable (see Description of the Trust—Risk Factors), the Sponsor cannot provide any assurance that dividends will be sufficient to meet any or all expenses of the Trust. If dividends are insufficient to cover expenses, it is likely that Securities will have to be sold to meet Trust expenses. Any such sales may result in capital gains or losses to Holders. See Taxes.

ADMINISTRATION OF THE TRUST

Records

The Trustee keeps records of the transactions of the Trust, a current list of the Securities and a copy of the Indenture at its unit investment trust office. Such records are available to Holders for inspection at reasonable times during business hours. Morgan Stanley keeps records of the names, addresses and Units held by all Holders of record.

Accounts and Distributions

Dividends payable to the Trust are credited by the Trustee to the Income Account, as of the date on which the Trust is entitled to receive such dividends as a holder of record of the Securities. All other receipts (e.g., capital gains, proceeds from the sale of Securities, etc.) will be credited by the Trustee to the Capital Account. If a Holder receives his or her distribution in cash, any income distribution for the Holder as of each Record Day will be made on the following Distribution Day or shortly thereafter and shall consist of an amount equal to the Holder's pro rata share of the distributable balance in the Income Account as of such Record Day, after deducting estimated expenses. The first distribution for persons who purchase Units between a Record Day and a Distribution Day will be made on the second Distribution Day following their purchase of Units. In addition, amounts from the Capital Account may be

distributed from time to time to Holders of Record. No distribution need be made from the Capital Account if the balance therein is less than an amount sufficient to distribute $0.05 per Unit. The Trustee may withdraw from the Income Account, from time to time, such amounts as it deems requisite to establish a reserve for any taxes or other governmental charges that may be payable out of the Trust. Funds held by the Trustee in the various accounts created under the Indenture do not bear interest. Distributions of amounts necessary to pay the Deferred Sales Charge will be made from the Capital Account to an account maintained by the Trustee for purposes of satisfying investors' sales charge obligations.

The Trustee will follow a policy that it will place securities transactions with a broker or dealer only if it expects to obtain the most favorable prices and executions of orders. Transactions in securities held in the Trust are generally made in brokerage transactions (as distinguished from principal transactions) and the Sponsor or any of its affiliates may act as brokers therein if the Trustee expects thereby to obtain the most favorable prices and execution.

The furnishing of statistical and research information to the Trustee by any of the securities dealers through which transactions are executed will not be considered in placing securities transactions.

Trust Supervision

The Trust is a unit investment trust which normally follows a buy and hold investment strategy and is not actively managed (i.e., engage in portfolio changes on the basis of economic, financial and/or market analyses as is typical in a mutual fund). Therefore, while the portfolio is regularly reviewed, the adverse financial condition of an issuer will not necessarily require the sale of its Securities from the Portfolio. However, while it is the intention of the Sponsor to continue the Trust's investment in the Securities and maintain the Proportionate Relationship, it has the power but not the obligation to direct the disposition of the Securities upon certain limited circumstances described in the Indenture, including, but not limited to: institution of certain legal proceedings enjoining or impeding the declaration or payment of anticipated dividends; default under certain documents adversely affecting future declaration or payment of anticipated dividends or actual default on any outstanding security of the issuer; a substantial decline in price or the

occurrence of materially adverse credit factors that, in the opinion of the Sponsor, would make retention of the Securities detrimental to the interest of the Holders; if a security deposited into the Portfolio was not among those identified for inclusion in accordance with the criteria specified under Investment Summary—Investment Concept and Selection Process; or a public tender offer, merger or acquisition affecting the Securities that, in the opinion of the Sponsor, would make the sale of the Securities in the best interests of the Holders. The Sponsor may also instruct the Trustee to take action necessary to ensure that the Trust continues to satisfy the qualifications of a regulated investment company and to avoid imposition of tax on undistributed income of the Trust.

Further, the Trust will likely continue to hold a Security and purchase additional shares even though such Security no longer meets the selection criteria listed under Investment Concept and Selection Process.

In the event a public tender offer is made for a Security or a merger or acquisition is announced affecting a Security, the Sponsor shall instruct the Trustee to accept or reject such offer or take any other action with respect thereto as the Sponsor deems proper. Upon receipt of securities through stock dividends, stock splits, dividend reinvestment plans or other distributions on Securities, the Sponsor shall determine whether to instruct the Trustee to hold or sell such securities, based on considerations such as diversification requirements, income distribution requirements and fees and expenses of the Trust.

The Sponsor is authorized to direct the Trustee to acquire replacement Securities ("Replacement Securities") to replace any Securities for which purchase contracts have failed ("Failed Securities"), or, in connection with the deposit of Additional Securities, when Securities of an issue originally deposited are unavailable at the time of subsequent deposit. In the event of a Failed Security, the Sponsor will (unless substantially all of the moneys held in the Trust to cover the purchase are reinvested in Replacement Securities in accordance with the Indenture) refund the cash and sales charge attributable to the failed contract to all Holders on or before the next Distribution Day. The Replacement Securities must be identical issuers of the Failed Securities and are limited to Securities previously included in the portfolio of the Trust.

Any property received by the Trustee after the Initial Date of Deposit as a distribution on any of the Securities in a form other than cash or additional shares of the Securities received in a non-taxable stock dividend or stock split, shall be retained or disposed of by the Trustee as provided in the Indenture. The proceeds of any disposition shall be credited to the Income or Capital Account of the Trust.

In connection with creating additional Units of the Trust following the Initial Date of Deposit, the Sponsor may specify minimum amounts of Additional Securities to be deposited or purchased. If a deposit is not sufficient to acquire minimum amounts of each Security, Additional Securities may be acquired in the order of the Security most under-represented immediately before the deposit when compared to the Proportionate Relationship. If Securities of an issue originally deposited are unavailable at the time of subsequent deposit or cannot be purchased due to regulatory, trading or internal Sponsor (or affiliate) related restrictions, or corporate actions, in accordance with the relevant terms of the Indenture the Sponsor may (1) deposit cash or a letter of credit with instructions to purchase the Security when practicable, (2) deposit (or instruct the Trustee to purchase) Securities of one or more other issuers originally deposited or (3) deposit (or instruct the Trustee to purchase) a Replacement Security that will meet the conditions described above.

Reports to Holders

Holders will receive a statement of dividends and other amounts received by the Trust for each distribution. Within a reasonable time after the end of each year, the Sponsor will provide on its website (www.morganstanley.com/what-we-do/wealth-management/unit-investment-trusts) a statement describing dividends and capital received, actual Trust distributions, Trust expenses, a list of the Securities and other Trust information. Holders may obtain a paper copy of this statement free of charge by requesting one from their financial advisor. Further, Holders may also obtain evaluations of the Securities upon request to the Trustee. If you have any other questions regarding your account or your Trust, please contact your financial advisor or the Trustee.

Book-Entry Units

Ownership of Units of the Trust will not be evidenced by certificates. All evidence of ownership of the Units will be recorded in book-entry form either at Depository Trust Company ("DTC") through an investor's broker's account or through registration of the Units on the books of the Trustee. Units held through DTC will be deposited by the Sponsor with DTC in the Sponsor's DTC account and registered in the nominee name CEDE & CO. Individual purchases of beneficial ownership interest in the Trust will be made in book-entry form through DTC or the Trustee. Ownership and transfer of Units will be evidenced and accomplished by book-entries made by DTC and its participants if the Units are evidenced at DTC, or otherwise will be evidenced and accomplished by book-entries made by the Trustee. DTC will record ownership and transfer of the Units among DTC participants and forward all notices and credit all payments received in respect of the Units held by the DTC participants. Beneficial owners of Units will receive written confirmation of their purchases and sale from the broker-dealer or bank from whom their purchase was made. Units are transferable by making a written request properly accompanied by a written instrument or instruments of transfer which should be sent registered or certified mail for the protection of the Holder. Holders must sign such written request exactly as their names appear on the records of the Trust. Such signatures must be guaranteed by a commercial bank or trust company, savings and loan association or by a member firm of a national securities exchange.

Amendment and Termination

The Sponsor may amend the Indenture, with the consent of the Trustee but without the consent of any of the Holders, (1) to cure any ambiguity or to correct or supplement any provision thereof which may be defective or inconsistent, (2) to change any provision thereof as may be required by the SEC or any successor governmental agency, (3) to make such other provisions as shall not materially adversely affect the interest of the Holders (as determined in good faith by the Sponsor) and (4) for the Trust to continue to qualify as a "regulated investment company" for federal income tax purposes. The Indenture may also be amended in any respect by the Sponsor and the Trustee, or any of the provisions thereof may be waived, with the consent of the Holders of two-thirds of the Units outstanding, provided that no such amendment or waiver will reduce the interest in the Trust of

any Holder without the consent of such Holder or reduce the percentage of Units required to consent to any such amendment or waiver without the consent of all Holders.

The Indenture will terminate upon the earlier of the disposition of the last Security held thereunder or the Termination Date specified under the Summary of Essential Information. The Indenture may also be terminated by the Sponsor if the value of the Trust is less than the minimum value set forth under the Summary of Essential Information (as described under Description of the Trust—Risk Factors) and may be terminated early by written instrument executed by the Sponsor and consented to by Holders of two-thirds of the Units. The Sponsor shall deliver written notice of any early termination to each Holder of record within a reasonable period of time prior to such termination. Within a reasonable period of time after such termination, the Trustee must sell all of the Securities then held and distribute to each remaining Holder, after deductions of accrued and unpaid fees, taxes and governmental and other charges, such Holder's interest in the Income and Capital Accounts.

ROLLOVER OPTION

Holders may elect to rollover all or a portion of their redemption or termination proceeds into units of any Rollover Series, subject to any applicable sales charge (as disclosed in the prospectus for the Rollover Series). A rollover is treated as a redemption of Trust Units (see "Redemption" above) and as a separate purchase of units of the Rollover Series. Rollovers will be effected only in whole units. Holders will pay their share of any brokerage commissions on the sale of underlying Securities when their Units are liquidated. Holders who decide not to rollover their expected termination proceeds will receive a cash distribution after the Trust terminates.

The availability of the rollover option does not constitute a solicitation of an offer to purchase units of a Rollover Series or any other security. A Holder's election to participate in the rollover option will be treated as an indication of interest only. Holders should contact their financial professionals to find out what appropriate Rollover Series may be available and to obtain any corresponding prospectus. At any time prior to the liquidation of a Holder's Units in connection with a request to rollover such proceeds into a Rollover Series, such Holder may instead elect to receive their terminating distribution in cash. Exercise of the rollover option will not prevent a Holder from

recognizing taxable gain or loss (except in the case of loss, if and to the extent the Rollover Series, as the case may be, is treated as substantially identical to the Trust) as a result of the liquidation, even though no cash will be distributed to pay any taxes. See "Taxes." Holders should consult their own tax advisers in this regard. The Sponsor reserves the right to modify, suspend or terminate the rollover option at any time.

REINVESTMENT PLAN

Distributions of income and/or principal, if any, on Units will be paid in cash. Pursuant to the Trust's "Reinvestment Plan," Holders may elect to automatically reinvest their distributions into additional Units of the Trust at no extra charge. However, the reinvestment of distributions does not avoid a taxable event that otherwise would occur. See "Taxes". If the Holder wishes to participate in the Reinvestment Plan, the Holder must notify his or her financial professional prior to the Record Day to which that election is to apply. The election may be modified or terminated by similar notice. Investors that rollover into the Trust from any prior unit investment trust deposited by the Sponsor (a "Prior Series"), if any, and who participated in the Reinvestment Plan of such Prior Series when it terminated, will continue to have their distributions reinvested into additional Units of the Trust until they elect otherwise.

Distributions being reinvested will be paid in cash to the Sponsor, who will use them to purchase whole Units of the Trust at the net asset value per Unit as of the Evaluation Time on the Distribution Day. Any distributions, or portions thereof, not applied towards the purchase of Units shall be credited towards the Holder's account. These may be either previously issued Units repurchased by the Sponsor or newly issued Units created upon the deposit of additional Securities in the Trust. See Description of the Trust—Structure and Offering. Each participant will receive an account statement reflecting any purchase or sale of Units under the Reinvestment Plan.

The costs of the Reinvestment Plan will be borne by the Sponsor, at no cost to the Trust. The Sponsor reserves the right to amend, modify or terminate the Reinvestment Plan at any time without prior notice.

RESIGNATION, REMOVAL AND LIMITATIONS ON LIABILITY

Trustee

The Trustee or any successor may resign upon notice to the Sponsor. The Trustee may be removed by the Sponsor without the consent of any of the Holders if the Trustee becomes incapable of acting or becomes bankrupt or its affairs are taken over by public authorities. Such resignation or removal shall become effective upon the acceptance of appointment by the successor. In case of such resignation or removal the Sponsor is to use its best efforts to appoint a successor promptly and if upon resignation of the Trustee no successor has accepted appointment within thirty days after notification, the Trustee may apply to a court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor. The Trustee shall be under no liability for any action taken in good faith in reliance on prima facie properly executed documents or for the disposition of monies or Securities, nor shall it be liable or responsible in any way for depreciation or loss incurred by reason of the sale of any Security. This provision, however, shall not protect the Trustee in cases of wilful misfeasance, bad faith, negligence or reckless disregard of its obligations and duties. In the event of the failure of the Sponsor to act, the Trustee may act under the Indenture and shall not be liable for any of these actions taken in good faith. The Trustee shall not be personally liable for any taxes or other governmental charges imposed upon or in respect of the Securities or upon the interest thereon. In addition, the Indenture contains other customary provisions limiting the liability of the Trustee.

Sponsor

The Sponsor may resign at any time if a successor Sponsor is appointed by the Trustee in accordance with the Indenture. Any new Sponsor must have a minimum net worth of $2,000,000 and must serve at rates of compensation deemed by the Trustee to be reasonable and may not exceed amounts prescribed by the SEC. If the Sponsor fails to perform its duties or becomes incapable of acting or becomes bankrupt or its affairs are taken over by public authorities, then the Trustee may (1) appoint a successor Sponsor at rates of compensation deemed by the Trustee to be reasonable and not exceeding amounts prescribed by the SEC, (2) terminate the Indenture

and liquidate the Trust or (3) continue to act as Trustee without terminating the Indenture.

The Sponsor shall be under no liability to the Trust or to the Holders for taking any action or for refraining from taking any action in good faith or for errors in judgment and shall not be liable or responsible in any way for depreciation of any Security or Units or loss incurred in the sale of any Security or Units. This provision, however, shall not protect the Sponsor in cases of wilful misfeasance, bad faith, gross negligence or reckless disregard of its obligations and duties. The Sponsor may transfer all or substantially all of its assets to a corporation or partnership which carries on its business and duly assumes all of its obligations under the Indenture and in such event it shall be relieved of all further liability under the Indenture.

TAXES

The following is a general discussion of certain federal income tax consequences of the purchase, ownership and disposition of the Units by U.S. citizens and residents and corporations organized in the United States as of the date of this Prospectus. Tax laws and their interpretation are subject to change, possibly with retroactive effect. This summary is based on the advice of counsel. The Internal Revenue Service ("IRS") could take a contrary position. Our counsel has not been asked to review the assets of the Trust or to provide an opinion on any tax issues. The Trust does not expect to seek any rulings from the IRS. The summary is limited to investors who hold the Units as "capital assets" (generally, property held for investment) within the meaning of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"), and does not address the tax consequences of Units held by brokers, dealers, financial institutions, insurance companies, tax-exempt entities, or anyone who holds Units as part of a hedge or straddle or marks to market its holdings.

The Trust intends to qualify annually as a regulated investment company under the Code. To qualify as a regulated investment company, the Trust must generally distribute to its Holders at least 90% of its investment company taxable income (which includes, among other items, dividends, taxable interest and the excess of net short-term capital gains over net long-term capital losses), and meet certain diversification of assets, source of income, and other requirements. By meeting these requirements, the Trust generally will not be subject to federal income tax on investment company taxable income, and on net

capital gains (the excess of net long-term capital gains over net short-term capital losses) designated by the Trust as capital gain dividends, timely distributed to Holders. The Trust intends to distribute enough of its income to avoid the non-deductible 4% federal excise tax imposed on regulated investment companies that do not distribute at least 98% of their ordinary income and 98.2% of their capital gain net income. There is no assurance that the distributions of the Trust will be sufficient to eliminate all taxes at the Trust level in all periods. For example, the Trust may receive delayed or corrected tax reporting statements from its investments that cause the Trust to accrue additional income and gains after the Trust has already made its excise tax distributions for the year. In such a situation, the Trust may incur an excise tax liability resulting from such delayed receipt of such tax information statements. In addition, the Trust may make taxable distributions even during periods in which the unit value has declined.

If for any taxable year the Trust did not qualify as a regulated investment company, all of its taxable income would be subject to tax at the regular corporate rate without any deduction for distributions to Holders, and any distributions would be taxable to the Holders as ordinary dividends to the extent of the Trust's current or accumulated earnings and profits. Such distributions generally would be eligible for the dividends received deduction in the case of corporate Holders and non-corporate Holders may be able to benefit from the preferential federal tax rate of 20% applicable to certain qualified dividends.

The Trust's policy is to distribute as dividends each year 100% (and in no event less than 90%) of its investment company taxable income. Distributions of net ordinary income and net short-term capital gains are taxable to Holders as ordinary income. Certain dividends of the Trust, to the extent attributable to income earned by the Trust from taxable domestic and certain foreign corporations, may be treated as qualified dividend income that is eligible for a reduced maximum rate to non-corporate Holders of 20% if certain holding period and other requirements are met. If the Trust receives at least 95% of its gross income (exclusive of net capital gain) in any taxable year from qualified dividends, all of the ordinary income dividends paid by the Trust will be qualified dividend income. Corporate Holders are generally entitled to the dividends-received deduction to the extent that the Trust's income is derived from qualifying dividends from

domestic corporations. Holders should consult their tax adviser regarding specific questions about the dividends received deduction.

Net capital gains of the Trust (net long-term capital gain over net short-term capital loss) realized and distributed by the Trust and designated as capital gains dividends are taxable to Holders as long-term capital gains, without regard to the length of time the Holder may have held his or her Units in the Trust. Long-term capital gains distributions are not eligible for the dividends-received deduction. In determining the amount of capital gains to be distributed, available capital loss carry overs from a prior year will be taken into account in determining the amount of net long-term capital gain. Short-term capital gains of the Trust will be taxable to Holders as ordinary income.

Dividends and capital gains income derived from the Trust generally will be included in the net investment income of a Holder, which is subject to a 3.8% federal tax applicable to certain U.S. taxpayers in the higher income brackets.

Regardless of any decrease in the value of Units during a tax year, distributions to Holders are taxable unless their Units are in a tax-advantaged account. Such taxation is applicable whether distributions are cashed out or reinvested into additional Units of the Trust. Holders receiving a distribution in the form of additional Units will be treated as receiving a distribution in an amount equal to the amount of the cash dividend that otherwise would have been distributable (where the additional Units are purchased in the open market), or the net asset value of the Units received, determined as of the reinvestment date. Holders electing to receive distributions in the form of additional Units will have a cost basis for federal income tax purposes in each Unit so received equal to the value of a Unit on the reinvestment date. The tax laws provide that certain distributions of the Trust declared in October, November and December and paid to Holders in the following January are taxed as if received in December.

Upon the taxable disposition (including a sale or redemption and certain rollovers and exchanges) of Units of the Trust, a Holder may realize a gain or loss depending upon its basis in the Units. Such gain or loss will be treated as capital gain or loss if the Units are capital assets in the Holder's hands, and will be long-term or short-term, generally depending upon the Holder's holding period for the Units. To determine the amount of this gain or loss, you must subtract your adjusted

tax basis in your Units from the amount you receive for the sale of the Units. Your initial tax basis in your Units is generally equal to the cost of your Units, generally including sales charges. In some cases, however, you may have to adjust your tax basis after you purchase your Units. Non-corporate Holders are subject to tax at a maximum federal rate of 20% on capital gains resulting from the disposition of Units held for more than 12 months. However, a loss realized by a Holder on the disposition of Units with respect to which capital gains dividends have been paid will, to the extent of such capital gain dividends, also be treated as long-term capital loss if such shares have been held by the Holder for six months or less. Further, a loss realized on a disposition will be disallowed to the extent the Units disposed of are replaced (whether by reinvestment of distributions or otherwise) within a period of 61 days beginning 30 days before and ending 30 days after the Units are disposed of. In such a case, the basis of the Units acquired will be adjusted to reflect the disallowed loss. Capital losses in any year are deductible only to the extent of capital gains plus, in the case of a noncorporate taxpayer, $3,000 of ordinary income ($1,500 for married individuals filing separately).

Expenses incurred and deducted by the Trust will generally not be treated as taxable income to you. In certain cases, if the Trust is not considered "publicly offered" under the Code, each U.S. Holder that is either an individual, trust or estate will be treated as having received a taxable distribution from the Trust in the amount that Holder's allocable share of certain of the Trust's expenses for the year, and these expenses will be treated as miscellaneous itemized deductions of those U.S. Holders. The deductibility of expenses that are characterized as miscellaneous itemized deductions, which includes investment expenses, is suspended for tax years beginning prior to January 1, 2026.

The Trust is generally required, subject to certain exemptions, to withhold, as backup withholding, at a current federal rate of 24% from dividends paid or credited to Holders and from the proceeds from the redemption of Trust Units if a correct taxpayer identification number, certified when required, is not on file with the Trust, or if the Trust or the Holder have been notified by the IRS that the shareholder is subject to backup withholding. Corporate Holders are not subject to this requirement.

If the Trust invests in securities of foreign issuers, it may be subject to withholding and other similar income taxes imposed by a foreign country.

Under the Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act ("FATCA"), a 30% withholding tax on your Trust's distributions generally applies if paid to a foreign entity unless: (i) if the foreign entity is a "foreign financial institution" as defined under FATCA, the foreign entity undertakes certain due diligence, reporting, withholding, and certification obligations, (ii) if the foreign entity is not a "foreign financial institution," it identifies certain of its U.S. investors or (iii) the foreign entity is otherwise excepted under FATCA. If withholding is required under FATCA on a payment related to your Units, investors that otherwise would not be subject to withholding (or that otherwise would be entitled to a reduced rate of withholding) on such payment generally will be required to seek a refund or credit from the IRS to obtain the benefit of such exemption or reduction. The Trust will not pay any additional amounts in respect of amounts withheld under FATCA. You should consult your tax advisor regarding the effect of FATCA based on your individual circumstances.

Dividends and distributions may also be subject to state and local taxes and, potentially, foreign taxes applicable to certain Holders.

Investors should carefully consider the tax implications of buying Units prior to a distribution by the Trust. The price of Units purchased at that time includes the amount of the forthcoming distributions. Distributions by the Trust reduce the net asset value per Unit, and if a distribution reduces the net asset value per Unit below a Holder's cost basis, such distribution, nevertheless, would be taxable to the Holder as ordinary income or capital gain as described above, even though, from an investment standpoint, it may constitute a partial return of capital.

Each Holder who is not a U.S. person should consult their tax advisor regarding the U.S. and foreign tax consequences of ownership of Trust Units, including the possibility that such a non-U.S. Holder may be subject to a U.S. withholding tax at a rate of 30% (or at a lower rate under an applicable income tax treaty) or backup withholding tax at a current rate of 24%, as discussed above, on amounts received by such person. Distributions received by a non-U.S. Holder from the Trust that are properly reported by the Trust as capital gain dividends,

interest-related dividends and as short-term capital gain dividends, may not be subject to U.S. federal income taxes, including withholding taxes, provided that the Trust makes certain elections and certain other conditions are met.

The Trust may be subject to state or local tax in jurisdictions in which the Trust is organized or may be deemed to be doing business.

* * *

After the end of each fiscal year for the Trust, the Trustee will furnish to each Holder a statement containing information relating to the dividends received by the Trust, including qualified dividends, the gross proceeds received by the Trust from the disposition of any Security (resulting from redemption or the sale by the Trust of any Security), and the fees and expenses paid by the Trust. The Trustee will also furnish an information return to each Holder and to the IRS.

Retirement Plans

Because each Holder's circumstances are different and special tax rules may apply, you should consult your tax adviser about federal, state, local and/or foreign tax considerations that may be relevant to your particular situation. The summary is based on current tax law, which may be changed by legislative, judicial or administrative action. Units of the Trust may be appropriate for purchase by Individual Retirement Accounts ("IRAs"), Keogh plans, pension funds and other qualified retirement plans. Generally, capital gains and income received in each of the foregoing plans are exempt from federal taxation. All distributions from such plans (other than from certain IRAs known as "Roth IRAs") are generally treated as ordinary income but may be eligible for tax-deferred rollover treatment and, in very limited cases, special 10 year averaging. Holders of Units in IRAs, Keogh plans and other tax-deferred retirement plans should consult their plan custodian as to the appropriate disposition of distributions. Investors considering investment in the Trust through any such plan should review specific tax laws related thereto and should consult their attorneys or tax advisers with respect to the establishment and maintenance of any such plan.

Before investing in the Trust, the trustee or investment manager of an employee benefit plan (e.g., a pension or profit sharing retirement plan) should consider among other things

(a) whether the investment is prudent under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended ("ERISA"), taking into account the needs of the plan and all of the facts and circumstances of the investment in the Trust; (b) whether the investment satisfies the diversification requirement of Section 404(a)(1)(C) of ERISA; and (c) whether the assets of the Trust are deemed "plan assets" under ERISA and the Department of Labor regulations regarding the definition of "plan assets."

New York Tax Status

Under the existing income tax laws of the State and City of New York, the Trust will not be taxed as a corporation subject to the New York State franchise tax and the New York City business corporation tax to the extent that the Trust distributes all of its investment company taxable income and net capital gain. You should consult your tax advisor regarding potential federal, foreign, state or local taxation with respect to your Units based on your individual circumstances.
