INVEST IN THE GROWTH PROSPECTS OF THE TECHNOLOGY INDUSTRY
 
SELECT EQUITY TRUSTS
 
Technology is everywhere--igniting the dynamic growth of industries such as
computer services, media and telecommunications. Corporations continue to invest
in technology to enhance their productivity and to stay ahead of their
competition. As an investor, you have the potential to benefit from the growth
prospects of the technology industry with an investment in the Morgan Stanley
High-Technology 35 Index Trust.
 
PORTFOLIO
 
This series of Unit Investment Trusts seeks capital appreciation through a
one-year portfolio based on the benchmark Morgan Stanley High-Technology 35
Index, consisting of the common stocks of 35 companies representing 10 different
technology subsectors.
 
SHORT-TERM LIFE
 
The Trust will terminate in approximately one year. The portfolio will then
either be liquidated or distributed to unitholders in-kind at their election.
You may, of course, sell or redeem your units prior to the Trust's termination.
 
REINVESTMENT OPTION
 
Investors may elect to have distributions automatically reinvested in additional
units of the Trust subject to the then-remaining deferred sales charge.
 
NO TURNOVER
 
The Trust typically has no turnover during its life. Unitholders know exactly
where their money is invested. Managed investment portfolios may have very high
turnover rates over a one-year period.
 
LIQUIDITY
 
All or a portion of your units may be liquidated at any time, based on net asset
value (including deduction for any unpaid deferred sales charge). The price you
receive will reflect market conditions and could be more or less than the price
originally paid. Investors may at termination choose to receive their share of
the Trust's actual underlying securities.
 
NO MARKET TIMING
 
The Morgan Stanley High-Technology 35 Index Trust leaves "emotional trading"
behind by focusing on and buying a defined portfolio of stocks. Due to the
Trust's "buy and hold" strategy, an investor's money is generally invested at
all times. Managed investment vehicles buy and sell securities and may have a
sizable percentage of assets in cash.
 
ROLLOVER OPTION
 
Investors, in connection with the Trust's termination, may elect to roll over
their investment into units of a new series, if offered, subject only to the
deferred sales charge.
 
RISKS AND OTHER CONSIDERATIONS
 
The risks of an investment in units of a Trust include price fluctuations
resulting from a fixed portfolio of equity securities of technology issuers. The
portfolio is not expected to change over the Trust's life, regardless of
subsequent events, including substitution or removal of a stock from the Index.
The portfolio's securities have had, and in the future, are likely to
experience, substantial price volatility and speculative trading. The value of
the units of the Trust will fluctuate with the value of the underlying
securities, so that units, when redeemed or sold, may be worth more or less than
their cost. Unless held in an IRA or other tax-deferred vehicle, there may be
current tax consequences associated with investing in this Trust.
 
- --------------------------
Companies are included in the Index if they meet the eligibility standards, and
to reflect the technology industry as a whole, without regard to the individual
quality of any specific company. The Index was created by Morgan Stanley & Co.,
Incorporated and is owned by Morgan Stanley Capital International, Inc. (MSCII).
The inclusion of a company in the Index is not, and should not be viewed by an
investor as, a recommendation by Morgan Stanley or MSCII to buy, sell, or hold
securities of such company.

CAREFULLY BEFORE YOU INVEST OR SEND MONEY.

PERFORMANCE
 
Actual performance of the Morgan Stanley High-Technology 35 Index is detailed
below. The Unit Trust will be structured as an equally-weighted, one-year
portfolio, based on the Index.

These Index returns shown reflect actual past performance of the Index (but not
any Trust). They are not guarantees of future performance and should not be used
as a predictor of returns to be expected in connection with a Trust. The actual
returns of a particular Trust or purchase of units of a Trust will vary from the
performance of the Index because after the Trust's formation, the stocks in the
Index may change, or their amounts may be adjusted or rebalanced. The Trust's
portfolio, however, is expected to remain the same, both in terms of identity of
the stocks and proportionate relationship (in terms of number of shares). In
addition, an actual Trust has sales charges, expenses and commissions.
