How do Sustainable Strategies perform?

The Institute for Sustainable Investing recently published a report that found that sustainable investments usually met, but often exceeded the performance of traditional investments

6

The report evaluated performance of 10,000 mutual funds and 2,800 Separately Managed Accounts over the last 7 years. Key findings include*: • Equity mutual funds met/exceeded median returns and met/fell

below median volatility of traditional funds for 64% of the periods examined, compared to their traditional counterparts.

• Long-term annual returns of one index (MSCI KLD 400 Social Index) comprising companies scoring highly on ESG criteria exceeded the S&P 500 by 45 basis points since its inception in 1990 (10.14% compared to 9.69% for the S&P 500; July 1990 – December 2014).

• Positive relationship between corporate investment in sustainability and stock price and operational performance.

Myth vs. Reality

• Myth: Investing with Impact means sacrificing returns

• Reality: Analysis of Morningstar data tracking self-described sustainable equity mutual funds vs. the universe of traditional funds, found that sustainable funds often performed better and had lower volatility than their category median.1

• Myth: Investing with Impact is a niche area

• Reality: Sustainably invested assets now account for more than one out of every six dollars under professional management in the US.2

• Myth: Investing with Impact investment products are limited

• Reality: In 2014, 925 distinct funds, representing $4.31 trillion in assets incorporated ESG criteria, more than four times the $1.01 trillion tracked in 2012.2

INDEX DEFINITIONS

S&P 500 Index – Regarded as the best single gauge of the US equities market, this capitalization-weighted index includes a representative sample of 500 leading companies in leading

industries of the US economy.

MSCI KLD 400 Social Index – The MSCI KLD 400 Social Index is a market capitalization-weighted Common Stock Index, consisting of 400 corporations that have passed multiple, broad-

based social screens. The index is maintained by Kinder, Lydenberg, Domini & Co., Inc. and is intended to serve as a proxy and benchmark for the universe of stocks from which social

investors might choose. The index was set at a value of 100 as of May 1, 1990. Since its inception, fewer than one change per month has been made in the index, primarily due to takeovers

and acquisitions

The information herein has been obtained from sources that we believe to be reliable, but we do not guarantee its accuracy or completeness. All opinions included in this material constitute the Firm’s judgment as of the date of this material and are subject to change without notice. This material is provided for informational purposes only and is not intended as an offer or solicitation with respect to the purchase or sale of any security. Morgan Stanley offers investment program services through a variety of investment programs, which are opened pursuant to written client agreements. Each program offers investment managers, funds and features that are not available in other programs; conversely, some investment managers, funds or investment strategies may be available in more than one program. Morgan Stanley’s investment advisory programs may require a minimum asset level and, depending on your specific investment objectives and financial position, may not be suitable for you. We offer these securities and/or deposits subject to availability. Market price, yield and ratings are subject to change. The market value of securities and/or deposits will fluctuate, and if sold prior to maturity, investors may receive more or less than their original purchase price or maturity value, depending on market conditions. Callable securities and/or deposits may be redeemed by the issuer prior to maturity. Additional call features may exist that could affect yield. Please consult your Financial Advisor regarding applicable call provisions prior to investing. Some issue information is based on data obtained by the firm from external sources deemed to be reliable. However, Morgan Stanley Wealth Management has not independently verified such information and makes no warranty, express or implied, regarding its accuracy or completeness. Bonds rated at less than investment grade may have speculative characteristics and present significant risks beyond those of other securities, including greater credit risk and price volatility. High yield bonds should comprise only a limited portion of a balanced portfolio. Investors should match credit ratings to their risk profiles. The annual income and cash flow summaries are based on security and/or deposit terms, and are subject to actual payment by the security and/or deposit issuers. Although the securities and/or deposits may be offered in a proposed group, it is each investor's decision as to which, if any, of the security and/or deposit to buy. Upon purchase, each investor owns, and may sell, each security and/or deposit on an individual basis as he or she desires. There is no portfolio management. Price quoted may not include sales commissions. For additional information on any of the highlighted securities and/or deposits, please contact your Morgan Stanley Financial Advisor. Participation in the program does not protect the portfolio from downside risk. The investor retains full downside exposure to the portfolio. The downside protection afforded by call writing is limited to the amount of the premium received less the costs incurred to settle index options. The Program only provides a hedge to the extent of those premiums received. The loss for the investor could be the current value of the portfolio less the net premium received from the call options. Portfolio holdings may need to be sold to generate cash to settle call options. The sale of portfolio holdings may produce tax consequences for U.S. taxpayers. There is no assurance that the revenue received from the program will exceed the fees and expenses paid. If a secondary market in options becomes unavailable and prevents a closing transaction, the options writer's obligation would remain until expiration or assignment.
