The Fund invests in the Institutional Class of the Morgan Stanley Institutional Liquidity Money Market Portfolio (the Liquidity Fund), an open-end management investment company managed by the Adviser. Investment Advisory fees paid by the Fund are reduced by an amount equal to its pro-rata share of the advisory and administration fees paid by the Liquidity Fund. For the three months ended March 31, 2008, advisory fees paid were reduced by less than $500 relating to the Funds investment in the Liquidity Fund. For the same period, income distributions earned by the Fund are recorded as dividends from affiliates and totaled approximately $8,000. During the three months ended March 31, 2008, the approximate cost of purchases and sales in the Liquidity Fund were $1,004,000 and $2,038,000, respectively. |
(c) |
The approximate market value and percentage of the investments, $101,463,000 and 98.8%, respectively, represent the securities that have been fair valued under the fair valuation policy for international investments. |
@ |
Value is less than $500. |

At March 31, 2008, the U.S. Federal income tax cost basis of investments was approximately $52,228,000 and, accordingly, net unrealized appreciation for U.S. Federal income tax purposes was $50,515,000 of which $52,069,000 related to appreciated securities and $1,554,000 related to depreciated securities. |
Notes to Portfolio of Investments (unaudited)
The Fund adopted Financial Accounting Standards Board Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157, Fair Value Measurements (SFAS 157), effective January 1, 2008. In accordance with SFAS 157, fair value is defined as the price that the Fund would receive to sell an investment or pay to transfer a liability in a timely transaction with an independent buyer in the principal market, or in the absence of a principal market the most advantageous market for the investment or liability. SFAS 157 establishes a three-tier hierarchy to distinguish between (1) inputs that reflect the assumptions market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability developed based on market data obtained from sources independent of the reporting entity (observable inputs) and (2) inputs that reflect the reporting entitys own assumptions about the assumptions market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability developed based on the best information available in the circumstances (unobservable inputs) and to establish classification of fair value measurements for disclosure purposes. Various inputs are used in determining the value of the Funds investments. The inputs are summarized in the three broad levels listed below.
Level 1 |
|
quoted prices in active markets for identical investments |
Level 2 |
|
other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar investments, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.) |
Level 3 |
|
significant unobservable inputs (including the Funds own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments) |
The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.
The following is a summary of the inputs used as of March 31, 2008 in valuing the Funds investments carried at value:

At March 31, 2008 there were no Level 3 Portfolio investments for which significant unobservable inputs were used to determine fair value.
Security Valuation Securities listed on a foreign exchange are valued at their closing price. Unlisted securities and listed securities not traded on the valuation date for which market quotations are readily available are valued at the mean between the current bid and asked prices obtained from reputable brokers. Equity securities listed on a U.S. exchange are valued at the latest quoted sales price on the valuation date. Equity securities listed or traded on NASDAQ, for which market quotations are available, are valued at the NASDAQ Official Closing Price. Debt securities purchased with remaining maturities of 60 days or less are valued at amortized cost, if it approximates market value.
All other securities and investments for which market values are not readily available, including restricted securities, and those securities for which it is inappropriate to determine prices in accordance with the aforementioned procedures, are valued at fair value as determined in good faith under procedures adopted by the Board of Directors (the Directors), although the actual calculations may be done by others. Factors considered in making this determination may include, but are not limited to, information obtained by contacting the issuer, analysts, or the appropriate stock exchange (for exchange-traded securities), analysis of the issuers financial statements or other available documents and, if necessary, available information concerning
other securities in similar circumstances.
Most foreign markets close before the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE). Occasionally, developments that could affect the closing prices of securities and other assets may occur between the times at which valuations of such securities are determined (that is, close of the foreign market on which the securities trade) and the close of business on the NYSE. If these developments are expected to materially affect the value of the securities, the valuations may be adjusted to reflect the estimated fair value as of the close of the NYSE, as determined in good faith under procedures established by the Directors.
Item 2. Controls and Procedures.
(a) The Funds principal executive officer and principal financial officer have concluded that the Funds disclosure controls and procedures are sufficient to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Fund in this Form N-Q was recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commissions rules and forms, based upon such officers evaluation of these controls and procedures as of a date within 90 days of the filing date of the report.
(b) There were no changes in the Funds internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the registrants fiscal quarter that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Funds internal control over financial reporting.
