  • Effective May 07, 2021
    CASH & BANKING LPL Financial Insured Cash Account (ICA): Current Priority Bank List Retail Accounts Effective May 07, 2021 ABOUT THE PRIORITY BANK LIST (PBL) The Priority Bank List is a list of available Banks into which your funds may be deposited and is available from your financial advisor and on lplfinancial.lpl.com/disclosures. The Banks appear in columns by state or region. In the column under your applicable state or region are multiple Banks in the order in which your funds will be allocated. The last banks on the list are “Excess Banks” and are noted as such. For all other banks on the PBL except these Excess Banks, LPL Financial as your agent will ensure that your ICA sweep deposits do not exceed the $250,000 (or $500,000 for joint accounts) FDIC-defined ownership category limits. For the Excess Banks, your funds may be deposited without consideration of the $250,000 and $500,000 limits. However, this will only be done when there is insufficient capacity in other Banks on the PBL to take your assets and not break through the $250,000 and $500,000 limits and is meant to be temporary in nature. You may not change the order of the Banks on the PBL. However, you may, at any time, designate a Bank as ineligible to receive your funds. This will result in your funds not being deposited into this bank or if already there, we will remove your funds from that Bank and designate the Bank as ineligible to receive future deposits. Unless you direct us to place your funds in a different investment, your funds from eliminated Banks will be deposited at the first available Bank set forth on the Priority Bank List, as amended by you.

    April 2021 Preliminary Pricing Supplement No. 1,260 Registration Statement Nos. 333-250103; 333-250103-01 Dated April 1, 2021 Filed pursuant to Rule 424(b)(2) Morgan Stanley Finance LLC STRUCTURED INVESTMEN TS Opportunities in Equities, Bonds and Alternative Investments Market-Linked Notes due October 28, 2026 Based on the Value of the Morgan Stanley MAP Trend Index Fully and Unconditionally Guaranteed by Morgan Stanley The notes are unsecured obligations of Morgan Stanley Finance LLC (“MSFL”) and are fully and unconditionally guaranteed by Morgan Stanley. The notes will pay no interest and will have the terms described in the accompanying product supplement and prospectus, as supplemented and modified by this document. At maturity, we will pay per note the stated principal amount of $1,000 plus a supplemental redemption amount, if any, based on the value of the underlying index on the determination date. The Morgan Stanley MAP Trend Index (the “underlying index”) was established by Morgan Stanley on March 7, 2017 and employs a rules-based quantitative strategy (the “Index Methodology”) that combines a risk-weighted approach to portfolio construction with a momentum-based, or trend-following, asset allocation methodology to construct a notional portfolio. In addition, the strategy imposes an overall volatility-targeting feature upon the resulting portfolio. The goal of the underlying index is to seek positive return opportunities in different market environments based upon recent trends in the underlying assets. The investment assumption underlying the allocation strategy is two-fold: that historical volatility of the underlying assets can be used to risk-weight a portfolio, and that past trends are likely to continue to be a good indicator of the future performance of that portfolio.
