Performance data quoted represents past performance, which is no guarantee of future results, and current performance may be lower or higher than the figures shown. Performance information for the 7-day effective yield assumes that all dividends and distributions, if any, were reinvested. For the most recent month-end performance figures, please visit www.morganstanley.com/msim. Investment return and principal value will fluctuate causing portfolio shares, when redeemed, to be worth more or less than their original cost. Total returns do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on portfolio distributions or the redemption of portfolio shares.
Investments in the Money Market, Prime, Government, Government Securities, Treasury, Treasury Securities and Tax-Exempt Portfolios (the “Portfolios”) are neither insured nor guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation. Although the Portfolios seek to preserve the value of your investment at $1.00 per share, it is possible to lose money by investing in these Portfolios. Please read MSILF’s prospectuses carefully before you invest or send money.
Yield quotation more closely reflects the current earnings of the Portfolios than the total return. As with all money market portfolios, yields will fluctuate as market conditions change and the seven-day yields are not necessarily indicative of future performance.

Expense Examples (unaudited)
Expense Examples
As a shareholder of a Portfolio, you incur ongoing costs, including management fees, shareholder administration plan fees (in the case of the Service, Investor and Administrative Classes), service and shareholder administration plan fees (in the case of the Advisory Class); distribution and shareholder service plan fees (in the case of the Participant and Cash Management Classes) and other Portfolio expenses. These examples are intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in each Portfolio and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.
The examples are based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the six-month period ended October 31, 2008 and held for the entire six-month period.
Actual Expenses
The table below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this table, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the table under the heading entitled “Actual Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.
Please note that the Cash Management Class for Prime and Government Portfolios commenced operations on August 14, 2008; therefore, “Actual Expenses Paid During Period” reflect activity from August 14, 2008 through October 31, 2008.
Please note that the Cash Management Class for Government Securities Portfolio commenced operations on July 21, 2008; therefore, “Actual Expenses Paid During Period” reflect activity from July 21, 2008 through October 31, 2008.
Please note that the Institutional, Service, Investor, Administrative and Cash Management Classes for Treasury Securities Portfolio commenced operations on October 7, 2008; therefore, “Actual Expenses Paid During Period” reflect activity from October 7, 2008 through October 31, 2008.
Please note that the Advisory and Participant Classes for Treasury Securities Portfolio commenced operations on October 27, 2008; therefore, “Actual Expenses Paid During Period” reflect activity from October 27, 2008 through October 31, 2008.
Please note that “Actual Expenses Paid During Period” are grossed up to reflect Portfolio expenses prior to the effect of Expense Offset (See Note F in the Notes to Financial Statements). Therefore, the annualized net expense ratios may differ from the ratio of expenses to average net assets shown in the Financial Highlights.
Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes
The table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on a Portfolio’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Portfolio’s actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in a Portfolio and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.
Please note that while the Cash Management Classes for Prime, Government and Government Securities Portfolios commenced operations on August 14, 2008, August 14, 2008 and July 21, 2008, respectively, the “Hypothetical Expenses Paid During the Period” reflect projected activity for the full six month period for the purposes of comparability. This projection assumes that the annualized net expense ratio for the period was in effect during the period from May 1, 2008 through October 31, 2008.
Please note that while the Institutional, Service, Investor, Administrative and Cash Management Classes for Treasury Securities Portfolio commenced operations on October 7, 2008, the “Hypothetical Expenses Paid During the Period” reflect projected activity for the full six month period for the purposes of comparability. This projection assumes that the annualized net expense ratio for the period was in effect during the period from May 1, 2008 through October 31, 2008.
Please note that while the Advisory and Participant Classes for Treasury Securities Portfolio commenced operations on October 27, 2008, the “Hypothetical Expenses Paid During the Period” reflect projected activity for the full six month period for the purposes of comparability. This projection assumes that the annualized net expense ratio for the period was in effect during the period from May 1, 2008 through October 31, 2008.

The Board also reviewed and considered the nature and extent of the non-advisory, administrative services provided by the Adviser under the Administration Agreement, including accounting, clerical, bookkeeping, compliance, business management and planning, and the provision of supplies, office space and utilities at the Adviser’s expense. (The Adviser and Sub-Adviser together are referred to as the “Adviser” and the Advisory, Sub-Advisory and Administration Agreements together are referred to as the “Management Agreement.”) The Board also compared the nature of the services provided by the Adviser with similar services provided by non-affiliated advisers as reported to the Board by Lipper Inc. (“Lipper”).
The Board reviewed and considered the qualifications of the portfolio managers, the senior administrative managers and other key personnel of the Adviser who provide the administrative and advisory services to the Portfolios. The Board determined that the Adviser’s portfolio managers and key personnel are well qualified by education and/or training and experience to perform the services in an efficient and professional manner. The Board concluded that the nature and extent of the advisory and administrative services provided were necessary and appropriate for the conduct of the business and investment activities of each Portfolio. The Board also concluded that the overall quality of the advisory and administrative services was satisfactory.
Performance Relative to Comparable Funds Managed by Other Advisers
On a regular basis, the Board reviews the performance of all funds in the Morgan Stanley Fund Complex, including the Portfolios, compared to their peers, paying specific attention to the underperforming funds. In addition, the Board specifically reviewed each Portfolio’s performance for the one- and three-year periods ended December 31, 2007 and for the period since the end of February 2004 with respect to the Money Market, Prime and Tax-Exempt Portfolios, the month of each Portfolio’s inception; and for the one- and three-year periods ended December 31, 2007 and for the period since the end of August 2004 with respect to the Government and Treasury Portfolios, the month of each Portfolio’s inception, as shown in a report provided by Lipper (the “Lipper Report”), compared to the performance of comparable funds selected by Lipper (the “performance peer group”). The Board also discussed with the Adviser the performance goals and the actual results achieved in managing each Portfolio. The Board concluded that each Portfolio’s performance was competitive with that of its performance peer group.
Fees Relative to Other Proprietary Funds Managed by the Adviser with Comparable Investment Strategies
The Board noted that the Adviser did not manage any other proprietary funds with investment strategies comparable to the Portfolios.
Fees and Expenses Relative to Comparable Funds Managed by Other Advisers
The Board reviewed the advisory and administrative fee (together, the “management fee”) rate and total expense ratio of each Portfolio as compared to the average management fee rate and average total expense ratio for funds, selected by Lipper (the “expense peer group”), managed by other advisers with investment strategies comparable to those of the Portfolios, as shown in the Lipper Reports. The Board concluded that each Portfolio’s management fee rate and total expense ratio were competitive with those of its expense peer group.
Breakpoints and Economies of Scale
The Board reviewed the structure of each Portfolio’s management fee schedule under the Management Agreement and noted that it does not include any breakpoints. The Board also reviewed the level of each Portfolio’s management fee and concluded that the fee, compared to the Portfolio’s expense peer group, was sufficiently low, and there is a cap in the total expense ratio of each Portfolio, so that, in effect, economies of scale were built into the management fee structure.
Profitability of the Adviser and Affiliates
The Board considered information concerning the costs incurred and profits realized by the Adviser and affiliates during the last year from their relationship with each Portfolio and during the last two years from their relationship with the Morgan Stanley

Investment Advisory Agreement Approval (cont’d)
Fund Complex and reviewed with the Adviser the cost allocation methodology used to determine the profitability of the Adviser and affiliates. Based on its review of the information it received, the Board concluded that the profits earned by the Adviser and affiliates were not excessive in light of the advisory, administrative and other services provided to the Portfolios.
Fall-Out Benefits
The Board considered so-called “fall-out benefits” derived by the Adviser and affiliates from their relationship with each Portfolio and the Morgan Stanley Fund Complex, such as “float” benefits derived from handling of checks for purchases and sales of Portfolio shares, through a broker-dealer affiliate of the Adviser. The Board also considered that, from time to time, the Adviser may, directly or indirectly, effect trades on behalf of certain Morgan Stanley Funds through various electronic communications networks or other alternative trading systems in which the Adviser’s affiliates have ownership interests and/or board seats. The Board concluded that the fall-out benefits were relatively small.
Soft Dollar Benefits
The Board considered whether the Adviser realizes any benefits from commissions paid to brokers who execute securities transactions for the Portfolios (“soft dollars”). The Board noted that the Portfolios invest only in fixed income securities, which do not generate soft dollars.
Adviser Financially Sound and Financially Capable of Meeting the Portfolios’ Needs
The Board considered whether the Adviser is financially sound and has the resources necessary to perform its obligations under the Management Agreement. The Board concluded that the Adviser has the financial resources necessary to fulfill its obligations under the Management Agreement.
Historical Relationship Between the Portfolios and the Adviser
The Board also reviewed and considered the historical relationship between the Portfolios and the Adviser, including the organizational structure of the Adviser, the policies and procedures formulated and adopted by the Adviser for managing the Portfolios’ operations and the Board’s confidence in the competence and integrity of the senior managers and key personnel of the Adviser. The Board concluded that it is beneficial for the Portfolios to continue their relationship with the Adviser.
Other Factors and Current Trends
The Board considered the controls and procedures adopted and implemented by the Adviser and monitored by the Portfolios’ Chief Compliance Officer and concluded that the conduct of business by the Adviser indicates a good faith effort on its part to adhere to high ethical standards in the conduct of each Portfolio’s business.
General Conclusion
After considering and weighing all of the above factors, the Board concluded that it would be in the best interest of each Portfolio and its shareholders to approve renewal of the Management Agreement for another year.

Investment Overview (unaudited)
Money Market Portfolio
The Money Market Portfolio seeks preservation of capital, daily liquidity and maximum current income. The Portfolio seeks to maintain a stable net asset value of $1.00 per share by investing in liquid, high quality U.S. dollar denominated money market instruments of U.S. and foreign financial and non-financial corporations.
Performance
For the fiscal year ended October 31, 2008, the Portfolio’s Institutional Share Class had a total return of 3.46%. For the seven-day period ended October 31, 2008, the Portfolio’s Institutional Share Class provided an annualized current yield of 2.32%, while its 30-day moving average annualized yield was 2.30%. Yield quotation more closely reflects the current earnings of the Portfolio than the total return.
Factors Affecting Performance
· | The U.S. economy weakened considerably during the 12-month review period. After rising in the first two quarters of 2008, gross domestic product (GDP) growth fell to -0.3% in the third quarter in a decline which is widely expected to have accelerated into the fourth quarter. Other economic data were even more dispiriting, with employment figures negative for every month of 2008 to date and consumer confidence falling to levels not seen in decades. The residential housing market remained depressed, as home sales and prices continued to decline. These factors led to increasing concerns about a recession even as a decline in commodity and fuel prices in the final weeks of the period failed to boost consumer and business confidence. |
|
|
· | The weakening economic outlook, coupled with credit and liquidity constraints and mortgage defaults, made for an extremely volatile market throughout the period under review. The Federal Reserve (the “Fed”) and the Treasury made considerable efforts to support both the market and the economy, including a range of innovative programs as well as aggressive reductions in the federal funds target rate and discount rate. These actions were often taken in coordination with central banks across the developed world. At the end of the period, these measures had in part helped to reduce the credit bellwether London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR) from its prior record levels, though LIBOR remained well above the Fed’s policy target for federal funds of 1%. |
Management Strategies
· | As of October 31, 2008, the Portfolio had net assets of slightly more than $4.8 billion, and a weighted average maturity of 28 days. |
|
|
· | Our strategy in managing the Portfolio remained consistent with its long-term focus on maintaining preservation of capital and liquidity. Although the aggressive reductions by the Fed drastically lowered short-term yields, the turmoil and uncertainty in the markets remained in force and indeed worsened over the course of the period. As a result, we concentrated the Portfolio on assets with shorter maturities. We also closely reviewed all of the eligible securities on our purchase list to eliminate unacceptable risks that had come to light, a process which resulted in a significant reduction in the number of approved securities. We will continue to focus closely on this strategy in an effort to maximize liquidity for the Portfolio and its shareholders. |

Prime Portfolio
The Prime Portfolio seeks preservation of capital, daily liquidity and maximum current income. The Portfolio seeks to maintain a stable net asset value of $1.00 per share by investing in liquid, high quality money market instruments of domestic financial and non-financial corporations, as well as obligations of the U.S. government and its agencies and instrumentalities.
Performance
For the fiscal year ended October 31, 2008, the Portfolio’s Institutional Share Class had a total return of 3.37%. For the seven-day period ended October 31, 2008, the Portfolio’s Institutional Share Class provided an annualized current yield of 2.05%, while its 30-day moving average annualized yield was 2.04%. Yield quotation more closely reflects the current earnings of the Portfolio than the total return.

Investment Overview (unaudited)
Government Portfolio
The Government Portfolio seeks preservation of capital, daily liquidity and maximum current income. The Portfolio seeks to maintain a stable net asset value of $1.00 per share by investing exclusively in obligations of the U.S. government and its agencies and instrumentalities and in repurchase agreements collateralized by such securities.
Performance
For the fiscal year ended October 31, 2008, the Portfolio’s Institutional Share Class had a total return of 2.98%. For the seven-day period ended October 31, 2008, the Portfolio’s Institutional Share Class provided an annualized current yield of 1.43%, while its 30-day moving average annualized yield was 1.54%. Yield quotation more closely reflects the current earnings of the Portfolio than the total return.
Factors Affecting Performance
· | The U.S. economy weakened considerably during the 12-month review period. After rising in the first two quarters of 2008, gross domestic product (GDP) growth fell to -0.3% in the third quarter in a decline which is widely expected to have accelerated into the fourth quarter. Other economic data were even more dispiriting, with employment figures negative for every month of 2008 to date and consumer confidence falling to levels not seen in decades. The residential housing market remained depressed, as home sales and prices continued to decline. These factors led to increasing concerns about a recession even as a decline in commodity and fuel prices in the final weeks of the period failed to boost consumer and business confidence. |
|
|
· | The weakening economic outlook, coupled with credit and liquidity constraints and mortgage defaults, made for an extremely volatile market throughout the period under review. The Federal Reserve (the “Fed”) and the Treasury made considerable efforts to support both the market and the economy, including a range of innovative programs as well as aggressive reductions in the federal funds target rate and discount rate. These actions were often taken in coordination with central banks across the developed world. At the end of the period, these measures had in part helped to reduce the credit bellwether London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR) from its prior record levels, though LIBOR remained well above the Fed’s policy target for federal funds of 1%. |
Management Strategies
· | As of October 31, 2008, the Portfolio had net assets of slightly more than $16 billion, and a weighted average maturity of 16 days. |
|
|
· | Our strategy in managing the Portfolio remained consistent with its long-term focus on maintaining preservation of capital and liquidity. Although the aggressive reductions by the Fed drastically lowered short-term yields, the turmoil and uncertainty in the markets remained in force and indeed worsened over the course of the period. As a result, we concentrated the Portfolio on assets with shorter maturities. We also closely reviewed all of the eligible securities on our purchase list to eliminate unacceptable risks that had come to light, a process which resulted in a significant reduction in the number of approved securities. We will continue to focus closely on this strategy in an effort to maximize liquidity for the Portfolio and its shareholders. |

Investment Overview (unaudited)
Government Securities Portfolio
The Government Securities Portfolio seeks preservation of capital, daily liquidity and maximum current income. The Portfolio seeks to maintain a stable net asset value of $1.00 per share by investing substantially all of its assets in U.S. Treasury obligations and certain U.S. government securities, the interest from which is generally exempt from state income taxation. These securities may include those issued by the U.S. Treasury and certain agencies, authorities or instrumentalities of the U.S. government.
Performance
For the period from March 19, 2008 (commencement of operations) to October 31, 2008, the Portfolio’s Institutional Share Class had a total return of 1.27%. For the seven-day period ended October 31, 2008, the Portfolio’s Institutional Share Class provided an annualized current yield of 1.03%, while its 30-day moving average annualized yield was 1.35%. Yield quotation more closely reflects the current earnings of the Portfolio than the total return.
Factors Affecting Performance
· | The U.S. economy weakened considerably during the 12-month review period. After rising in the first two quarters of 2008, gross domestic product (GDP) growth fell to -0.3% in the third quarter in a decline which is widely expected to have accelerated into the fourth quarter. Other economic data were even more dispiriting, with employment figures negative for every month of 2008 to date and consumer confidence falling to levels not seen in decades. The residential housing market remained depressed, as home sales and prices continued to decline. These factors led to increasing concerns about a recession even as a decline in commodity and fuel prices in the final weeks of the period failed to boost consumer and business confidence. |
|
|
· | The weakening economic outlook, coupled with credit and liquidity constraints and mortgage defaults, made for an extremely volatile market throughout the period under review. The Federal Reserve (the “Fed”) and the Treasury made considerable efforts to support both the market and the economy, including a range of innovative programs as well as aggressive reductions in the federal funds target rate and discount rate. These actions were often taken in coordination with central banks across the developed world. At the end of the period, these measures had in part helped to reduce the credit bellwether London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR) from its prior record levels, though LIBOR remained well above the Fed’s policy target for federal funds of 1%. |
Management Strategies
· | As of October 31, 2008, the Portfolio had net assets of slightly more than $604 million, and a weighted average maturity of 8 days. |
|
|
· | Our strategy in managing the Portfolio remained consistent with its long-term focus on maintaining preservation of capital and liquidity. Although the aggressive reductions by the Fed drastically lowered short-term yields, the turmoil and uncertainty in the markets remained in force and indeed worsened over the course of the period. As a result, we concentrated the Portfolio on assets with shorter maturities. We also closely reviewed all of the eligible securities on our purchase list to eliminate unacceptable risks that had come to light, a process which resulted in a significant reduction in the number of approved securities. We will continue to focus closely on this strategy in an effort to maximize liquidity for the Portfolio and its shareholders. |

Investment Overview (unaudited)
Treasury Portfolio
The Treasury Portfolio seeks preservation of capital, daily liquidity and maximum current income. The Portfolio seeks to maintain a stable net asset value of $1.00 per share by investing exclusively in U.S. Treasury obligations and repurchase agreements collateralized by such securities.
Performance
For the fiscal year ended October 31, 2008, the Portfolio’s Institutional Share Class had a total return of 2.25%. For the seven-day period ended October 31, 2008, the Portfolio’s Institutional Share Class provided an annualized current yield of 0.29%, while its 30-day moving average annualized yield was 0.28%. Yield quotation more closely reflects the current earnings of the Portfolio than the total return.
Factors Affecting Performance
· | The U.S. economy weakened considerably during the 12-month review period. After rising in the first two quarters of 2008, gross domestic product (GDP) growth fell to -0.3% in the third quarter in a decline which is widely expected to have accelerated into the fourth quarter. Other economic data were even more dispiriting, with employment figures negative for every month of 2008 to date and consumer confidence falling to levels not seen in decades. The residential housing market remained depressed, as home sales and prices continued to decline. These factors led to increasing concerns about a recession even as a decline in commodity and fuel prices in the final weeks of the period failed to boost consumer and business confidence. |
|
|
· | The weakening economic outlook, coupled with credit and liquidity constraints and mortgage defaults, made for an extremely volatile market throughout the period under review. The Federal Reserve (the “Fed”) and the Treasury made considerable efforts to support both the market and the economy, including a range of innovative programs as well as aggressive reductions in the federal funds target rate and discount rate. These actions were often taken in coordination with central banks across the developed world. At the end of the period, these measures had in part helped to reduce the credit bellwether London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR) from its prior record levels, though LIBOR remained well above the Fed’s policy target for federal funds of 1%. |
Management Strategies
· | As of October 31, 2008, the Portfolio had net assets of slightly more than $9.5 billion, and a weighted average maturity of 14 days. |
|
|
· | Our strategy in managing the Portfolio remained consistent with its long-term focus on maintaining preservation of capital and liquidity. Although the aggressive reductions by the Fed drastically lowered short-term yields, the turmoil and uncertainty in the markets remained in force and indeed worsened over the course of the period. As a result, we concentrated the Portfolio on assets with shorter maturities. We also closely reviewed all of the eligible securities on our purchase list to eliminate unacceptable risks that had come to light, a process which resulted in a significant reduction in the number of approved securities. We will continue to focus closely on this strategy in an effort to maximize liquidity for the Portfolio and its shareholders. |

Investment Overview (unaudited)
Tax-Exempt Portfolio
The Tax-Exempt Portfolio seeks to maximize current income exempt from federal income tax to the extent consistent with preservation of capital and maintenance of liquidity. The Portfolio seeks to maintain a stable net asset value of $1.00 per share by investing at least 80% of its assets in high quality short-term municipal obligations, the interest of which is exempt from federal income taxes and is not subject to the federal alternative minimum tax. The Portfolio may invest a portion of its total assets in bonds that may subject certain investors to the federal Alternative Minimum Tax (AMT). Investors should consult their tax adviser for further information on tax implications.
Performance
For the fiscal year ended October 31, 2008, the Portfolio’s Institutional Share Class had a total return of 2.44%. For the seven-day period ended October 31, 2008, the Portfolio’s Institutional Share Class provided an annualized current yield of 1.58%, while its 30-day moving average annualized yield was 2.43%. Yield quotation more closely reflects the current earnings of the Portfolio than the total return.
Factors Affecting Performance
· Unprecedented capital markets volatility roiled the municipal bond and money markets for much of the 12-month reporting period. In response to mounting liquidity and credit problems, the government undertook a series of measures through the Federal Reserve and the Treasury. These measures incorporated a range of traditional and innovative steps taken to help restore the orderly functioning of credit markets, including a reduction of the federal funds target rate from 3.5% to 1% by the end of the period, but as of the end of the period had met with limited success.
· Against the backdrop of a slowing economy, municipal government budget-related pressures began to become a more prominent concern, with governments seeking tax hikes and tightening belts in the face of significant taxpayer resistance. The pace of new issuance slowed overall, but restructuring of troubled auction rate securities and debt insured by “monoline” insurers such as Ambac and MBIA remained a significant component of the financing calendar. In the tax-free money market, variable-rate yields fluctuated widely in the final months of the period.
· While the broader market remained volatile and investor confidence was low at the end of the reporting period, in our judgment, the municipal market appears to be headed in a more positive direction.
Management Strategies
· Protecting the safety and liquidity of the Portfolio’s assets remained our first priority. In the recent turbulent markets, our emphasis has been on managing exposure to institutions under stress. To that end, we remained focused on tax-exempt securities, including Variable Rate Demand Obligations (VRDOs), where our credit and risk teams have confidence in the quality of the issuer, the structure of the program, and the financial strength of the supporting institutions. We also identified and eliminated any securities insured by the troubled monoline insurers that do not have the benefit of additional guarantees or protection, such as the presence of an irrevocable Letter of Credit.
· As of the end of the period, the Portfolio had net assets of approximately $3.2 billion and a weighted average maturity of 36 days. Roughly 60% of the Portfolio was invested VRDO, 5% in tax-exempt commercial paper and 11% in fixed-rate municipal notes. The Portfolio had no exposure to municipal auction rate securities.

Notes to Financial Statements
Morgan Stanley Institutional Liquidity Funds (the “Fund”) is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the “1940 Act”), as amended, as a Massachusetts business trust. The Fund is comprised of seven separate, active, diversified portfolios (individually referred to as a “Portfolio”, collectively as the “Portfolios”). The Fund offers up to seven different classes of shares for certain Portfolios — Institutional Class, Service Class, Investor Class, Administrative Class, Advisory Class, Participant Class and Cash Management Class. All classes of shares have identical voting rights (except that shareholders of a Class have exclusive voting rights regarding any matter relating solely to that Class of shares), dividend, liquidation and other rights. Effective October 7, 2008, the Treasury Securities Portfolio commenced operations. Effective March 19, 2008, the Government Securities Portfolio commenced operations.
For detailed descriptions of the investment objectives of each of the Portfolios and other related information, please refer to the Prospectuses of the Fund. Generally, the investment objective of the Portfolios is to seek preservation of capital, daily liquidity and maximum current income (exempt from federal income tax in the case of Tax-Exempt Portfolio).
A. Accounting Policies: The following significant accounting policies are in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. Such policies are consistently followed by the Fund in the preparation of the financial statements. U.S. generally accepted accounting principles may require management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Actual results may differ from those estimates.
1. Security Valuation: Securities owned by the Portfolios are stated at amortized cost which approximates market value.
2. Repurchase Agreements: Certain Portfolios may enter into repurchase agreements under which a Portfolio lends excess cash and takes possession of securities with an agreement that the counterparty will repurchase such securities. In connection with transactions in repurchase agreements, a bank as custodian for the Fund takes possession of the underlying securities which are held as collateral, with a market value at least equal to the amount of the repurchase transaction, including principal and accrued interest. To the extent that any repurchase transaction exceeds one business day, the value of the collateral is marked-to-market on a daily basis to determine the adequacy of the collateral. In the event of default on the obligation to repurchase, the Fund has the right to liquidate the collateral and apply the proceeds in satisfaction of the obligation. In the event of default or bankruptcy by the counterparty to the agreement, realization and/or retention of the collateral or proceeds may be subject to legal proceedings. The Portfolios, along with other affiliated investment companies, may utilize a joint trading account for the purpose of entering into repurchase agreements.
3. New Accounting Pronouncements: In September 2006, Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157, Fair Value Measurements (“SFAS 157”), was issued and is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. SFAS 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. As of October 31, 2008, the Adviser does not believe the adoption of SFAS 157 will impact the amounts reported in the financial statements, however, additional disclosures will be required about the inputs used to develop the measurements of fair value and the effect of certain measurements reported in the Statements of Operations for a fiscal period.
On March 19, 2008, Financial Accounting Standards Board released Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 161, “Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities” (“SFAS 161”). SFAS 161 requires qualitative disclosures about objectives and strategies for using derivatives, quantitative disclosures about fair value amounts of and gains and losses on derivative instruments, and disclosures about credit-risk-related contingent features in derivative agreements. The application of SFAS 161 is required for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after November 15, 2008. At this time, management is evaluating the implications of SFAS 161 and its impact on the financial statements has not yet been determined.
4. Other: Security transactions are accounted for on the date the securities are purchased or sold. Realized gains and losses on the sale of investment securities are determined on a “first-in-first-out” basis. Interest income is recognized on the accrual basis except where collection is in doubt. Discounts and premiums on securities purchased are amortized over their respective lives. Most expenses of the Fund can be directly attributed to a particular Portfolio. Expenses which cannot be directly attributed are apportioned among the Portfolios based upon relative net assets. Income, expenses (other than class specific expenses) and realized and unrealized gains or losses are allocated to each class of shares based upon their relative net assets. Dividends to the shareholders of the Portfolios are accrued daily and are distributed on the last business day of each month.
B. Investment Advisory Fees: Morgan Stanley Investment Management Inc. (the “Adviser” or “MS Investment Management”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Morgan Stanley, provides the Fund with investment advisory services under the terms of an Investment Advisory Agreement (the “Agreement”) at the annual rates of average daily net assets

E. Dividend Disbursing and Transfer Agent: Effective August 18, 2008, the Fund dividend disbursing and transfer agent is Morgan Stanley Services Company Inc. (“Morgan Stanley Services”). Pursuant to a Transfer Agency Agreement, the Fund pays Morgan Stanley Services a fee generally based on the number of classes, accounts and transactions relating to the Portfolios of the Fund. Prior to August 18, 2008, JPMorgan Investor Services Company provided dividend disbursing and transfer agency services for the Fund.
F. Custodian Fees: JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. (the “Custodian”) serves as Custodian for the Fund in accordance with a custodian agreement. The Custodian holds cash, securities, and other assets of the Fund as required by the 1940 Act.
The Fund has entered into an arrangement with its Custodian whereby credits realized on uninvested cash balances were used to offset a portion of each applicable Portfolio’s expenses. These custodian credits are shown as “Expense Offset” on the Statements of Operations.
G. Federal Income Taxes: It is each Portfolio’s intention to qualify as a regulated investment company and distribute all of its taxable and tax-exempt income. Accordingly, no provision for Federal income taxes is required in the financial statements.
The Portfolios adopted the provisions of the FASB Interpretation number 48 Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes (“the Interpretation”), on April 30, 2008. At October 31, 2008, the Portfolios did not have any liabilities for unrecognized tax benefits. The Portfolios recognize interest and penalties, if any, related to unrecognized tax benefits as income tax expense in the Statements of Operations. During the year, the Portfolios did not incur any interest or penalties.
Each of the tax years in the four year period ended October 31, 2008 remain subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service and state taxing authorities. The adoption of FIN 48 had no impact on the operations of the Portfolios for the period ended October 31, 2008.
The tax character of distributions paid may differ from the character of distributions shown on the Statements of Changes in Net Assets due to short-term capital gains being treated as ordinary income for tax purposes. The tax character of distributions paid during fiscal 2008 and 2007 were as follows:

The amount and character of income and gains to be distributed are determined in accordance with income tax regulations which may differ from U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. The book/tax differences are either considered temporary or permanent in nature.
Temporary differences are primarily due to differing book and tax treatments in the timing of the recognition of distribution payable.
Permanent differences are generally due to distribution reclass. These resulted in the following reclassifications among the Portfolios’ components of net assets at October 31, 2008:

Notes to Financial Statements (cont’d)
H. Contractual Obligations: The Fund enters into contracts that contain a variety of indemnifications. The Fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown. However, the Fund has not had prior claims or losses pursuant to these contracts and expects the risk of loss to be remote.
I. Transactions with Affiliates: During the month of September 2008, in order to provide liquidity to meet shareholder redemptions, an affiliate of the Adviser purchased certain securities from the Portfolios at amortized cost plus accrued interest from the Money Market, Prime and Tax-Exempt Portfolios with face values of $6,054,000,000, $11,506,748,000 and $384,935,000, respectively. While these securities remained eligible to be held by the Portfolios, in order to provide the Portfolios with needed liquidity, the Adviser sought and received “no action” relief from the SEC staff. There were no reliable market quotes by which gains/losses could be estimated for the Money Market, Prime and Tax-Exempt Portfolios’ affiliated sales. The net result of these transactions, including the purchase of the securities at amortized cost by the Adviser, is that there is no impact to the Portfolios’ net asset value per share or net investment income.
On December 21, 2007, the Adviser purchased at amortized cost plus accrued interest from the Money Market and Prime Portfolios certain notes of an issuer with a face value of $41,750,000 and $114,750,000, respectively. Although these holdings initially remained eligible to be held by the Portfolios, because of deterioration in the assets underlying these holdings, the Adviser believed it appropriate to eliminate the Portfolios’ exposure to these securities by purchasing the amounts at amortized cost. In order to do this, the Adviser sought and received “no action” relief from the SEC staff. It is estimated that had these securities been sold to a third party, the Money Market and Prime Portfolios would have realized losses in the amounts of $889,716 and $2,439,550, respectively. As a result, these estimated losses, along with offsetting payments from the Adviser, have been reflected in the Statements of Operations and Statements of Changes in Net Assets. The net result of these transactions, including the purchase of the securities at amortized cost by the Adviser, is that there is no impact to the Portfolios’ net asset value per share or net investment income.
On November 23, 2007, the Adviser purchased at amortized cost plus accrued interest from the Money Market and Prime Portfolios certain notes of an issuer with a face value of $58,250,000 and $160,250,000, respectively. Although these holdings initially remained eligible to be held by the Portfolios, because of deterioration in the assets underlying these holdings, the Adviser believed it appropriate to eliminate the Portfolios’ exposure to these securities by purchasing the amounts at amortized cost. In order to do this, the Adviser sought and received “no action” relief from the SEC staff. It is estimated that had these securities been sold to a third party, the Money Market and Prime Portfolios would have realized losses in the amounts of $12,460,049 and $34,250,680, respectively. As a result, these estimated losses, along with offsetting payments from the Adviser, have been reflected in the Statements of Operations and Statements of Changes in Net Assets. The net result of these transactions, including the purchase of the securities at amortized cost by the Adviser, is that there is no impact to the Portfolios’ net asset value per share or net investment income.
On October 23, 2007, certain securities owned by the Money Market and Prime Portfolios were subject to a credit downgrade by a rating agency. As a result of this downgrade, the investments were no longer eligible securities for a money market portfolio to own. As permitted by SEC rules, the Adviser purchased these securities at their amortized cost plus accrued interest. Prior to the purchase, the Money Market Portfolio owned $75,000,000 face value of these notes while the Prime Portfolio owned $375,000,000 of these notes. It is estimated that had these securities been sold to a third party, the Money Market and Prime Portfolios would have realized losses in the amounts of $7,492,071 and $37,465,047, respectively. As of result, these estimated losses, along with offsetting payments from the Adviser, have been reflected in the Statements of Operations and Statements of Changes in Net Assets for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2007. The net result of these transactions, including the purchase of the securities at amortized cost by the Adviser, is that there is no impact to the Portfolios’ net asset value per share or net investment income.
The Tax-Exempt Portfolio invests in Institutional Class of the Morgan Stanley Institutional Liquidity Funds — Government Portfolio (the “Government Portfolio”), an open-ended management investment company managed by the Adviser. Investment in Advisory fees paid by the Tax-Exempt Portfolio are reduced by an amount equal to its pro-rata share of advisory and administration fees paid by the Government Portfolio. For the year ended October 31, 2008, advisory fees paid were reduced by approximately $164,000 relating to the Tax-Exempt Portfolios’ investment in the Government Portfolio, which is reflected in the Statements of Operations.
A summary of the Tax-Exempt Portfolio’s transactions in shares of the affiliated issuer during the year ended October 31, 2008 is as follows:

| Purchases |
| Sales |
| Dividend |

J. Security Transactions with Affiliated Funds: The Fund is permitted to purchase and/or sell securities from or to certain other Morgan Stanley Funds under specified conditions outlined in procedures adopted by the Board of Trustees (the “Trustees”). These procedures have been designed to ensure that any purchase or sale of securities by the Portfolio from or to another Fund or Portfolio that is or could be considered an affiliate by virtue of having a common investment adviser (or affiliated investment advisers), common trustees and/or common officers complies with Rule 17a-7 of the Investment Company Act of 1940. Further, as defined under the procedures, each transaction is effected at the current market price. Pursuant to these procedures, for the year ended October 31, 2008, the Money Market, Prime and Tax-Exempt Portfolios engaged in securities purchases of affiliates with face values of $460,000,000, $483,750,000 and $557,415,000, respectively. Pursuant to these procedures, for the year ended October 31, 2008, the Tax-Exempt Portfolio engaged in securities sales to affiliates with face values of $1,144,637,000.
K. Guaranty Program for Money Market Funds: On September 29, 2008, the Trustees approved the participation of its eligible Portfolios in the U.S. Treasury’s Temporary Guarantee Program for Money Market Funds (the “Program”). Under this Program, the U.S. Treasury will guarantee to investors that they will receive $1.00 for each money market fund share held as of close of business on September 19, 2008. Eligible funds must be regulated under Rule 2a-7 of the Investment Company Act of 1940, must maintain a stable share price of $1.00 and must be publicly offered and registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission. To participate in the Program, eligible funds must pay a fee. While the Program protects the accounts of investors, each money market fund makes the decision to sign-up for the Program. Investors cannot sign-up for the Program individually. The Program will be in effect for an initial three month term, expiring December 18, 2008.
L. Other (unaudited): A portion of the securities of the Tax- Exempt Portfolio are insured by certain companies specializing in the insurance of municipal debt obligations. At October 31, 2008, approximately 9.6% of the net assets of the Tax-Exempt Portfolio are covered by such insurance. The insurers and their obligations are as follows:

At October 31, 2008, certain Portfolios had otherwise unaffiliated record owners of 10% or greater. Investment activities of these shareholders could have a material impact on these Portfolios. These Portfolios and the aggregate percentage of such owners were as follows:

M. Subsequent Event: On November 24, 2008, the U.S. Treasury announced an extension of the Temporary Guarantee Program (the “Program”) through April 30, 2009. All money market funds that currently participate in the Program and meet the extension requirements are eligible to continue to participate for an additional fee. The Adviser has applied to participate in the extension for all of its SEC registered 2a-7 U.S. Money Market Funds that are currently covered under the plan through December 18, 2008. The Program will continue to provide coverage to shareholders up to amounts that they held in participating money market funds as of the close of business on September 19, 2008. The Secretary of the Treasury has the option to extend the Program up to the close of business on September 19, 2009.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the Board of Trustees and Shareholders of
Morgan Stanley Institutional Liquidity Funds:
We have audited the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities of Money Market Portfolio, Prime Portfolio, Government Portfolio, Government Securities Portfolio, Treasury Portfolio, Treasury Securities Portfolio and Tax-Exempt Portfolio (the “Portfolios”) (the seven portfolios comprising Morgan Stanley Institutional Liquidity Funds), including the portfolios of investments, as of October 31, 2008, and the related statements of operations for the year then ended, the statements of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, and the financial highlights for each of the periods indicated therein for the Money Market Portfolio, Prime Portfolio, Government Portfolio, Treasury Portfolio and Tax-Exempt Portfolio. We have also audited the related statements of operations and changes in net assets and the financial highlights for the Government Securities Portfolio for the period from March 19, 2008 (commencement of operations) to October 31, 2008 and for the Treasury Securities Portfolio for the period from October 7, 2008 (commencement of operations) to October 31, 2008. These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Portfolios’ management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and financial highlights based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and financial highlights are free of material misstatement. We were not engaged to perform an audit of the Portfolios’ internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Portfolios’ internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements and financial highlights, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of October 31, 2008, by correspondence with the custodian and brokers or by other appropriate auditing procedures where replies from brokers were not received. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the aforementioned seven portfolios comprising Morgan Stanley Institutional Liquidity Funds at October 31, 2008, the results of their operations, the changes in their net assets, and the financial highlights for each of the periods indicated above, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

U.S. Privacy Policy (unaudited)
AN IMPORTANT NOTICE CONCERNING OUR U.S. PRIVACY POLICY
Morgan Stanley Institutional Liquidity Funds (collectively, the “Fund”) is required by federal law to provide you with a copy of their Privacy Policy (“the Policy”) annually.
This Policy applies to individual clients who are current and former advisory clients of certain Morgan Stanley Investment Management’s U.S. investment advisers and to current and former individual investors in the Fund. This Policy is not applicable to partnerships, corporations, trusts or other non-individual clients or account holders, nor is this Policy applicable to individuals who are either beneficiaries of a trust for which we serve as trustee or participants in an employee benefit plan administered or advised by us. This Policy is, however, applicable to individuals who select us to be a custodian of securities or assets in individual retirement accounts, 401(k) accounts, or accounts subject to the Uniform Gifts to Minors Act.
Please note that we may amend this Policy at any time, and will inform you of any changes to this Policy as required by law.
WE RESPECT YOUR PRIVACY
We appreciate that you have provided us with your personal financial information and understand your concerns about safeguarding such information. We strive to maintain the privacy of such information while we help you achieve your financial objectives.
This Policy describes what nonpublic personal information we collect about you, how we collect it, when we may share it with others, and how others may use it. It discusses the steps you may take to limit our sharing of information about you with affiliated Morgan Stanley companies (“other Morgan Stanley companies”), including but not limited to our global financial services affiliates that are part of our integrated securities and investment management business, and our credit services affiliates. It also discloses how you may limit our affiliates’ use of shared information for marketing purposes.
Throughout this Policy, we refer to the nonpublic information that personally identifies you or your accounts as “personal information.”
1. WHAT PERSONAL INFORMATION DO WE COLLECT ABOUT YOU?
To better serve you and manage our business, it is important that we collect and maintain accurate information about you. We obtain this information from applications and other forms you submit to us, from your dealings with us, from consumer reporting agencies and from third parties and other sources. For example:
· We collect information such as your name, address, e-mail address, phone number and account title.
· We may obtain information about account balances, your use of account(s) and the types of products and services you prefer to receive from us through your dealings and transactions with us and other sources.
· We may obtain information about your creditworthiness and credit history from consumer reporting agencies.
· We may collect background information from and through third-party vendors to verify representations you have made and to comply with various regulatory requirements.
2. WHEN DO WE DISCLOSE PERSONAL INFORMATION WE COLLECT ABOUT YOU?
To provide you with the products and services you request, to better serve you, to manage our business and as otherwise required or permitted by law, we may disclose personal information we collect about you to other Morgan Stanley companies and to nonaffiliated third parties.
a. Information we disclose to other Morgan Stanley companies
In order to manage your account(s) effectively, including servicing and processing your transactions, to let you know about products and services offered by us and other Morgan Stanley companies, to manage our business, and as otherwise required or permitted by law, we may disclose personal information to other Morgan Stanley companies. Offers for products and services from other Morgan Stanley companies are developed under conditions designed to safeguard your personal information.

U.S. Privacy Policy (cont’d)
b. Information we discloses to third parties:
We do not disclose personal information that we collect about you to nonaffiliated third parties except to enable them to provide marketing services on our behalf, to perform joint marketing agreements with other financial institutions, and as otherwise required or permitted by law. For example, some instances where we may disclose information about you to third parties include: for servicing and processing transactions, to offer our own products and services, to protect against fraud, for institutional risk control, to respond to judicial process or to perform services on our behalf.
Morgan Stanley recognizes that your relationship with your Financial Advisor is important. If your Financial Advisor’s affiliation with Morgan Stanley ends and he/she joins a nonaffiliated securities broker-dealer with which Morgan Stanley has entered into an agreement limiting the use of information, Morgan Stanley will permit your Financial Advisor to retain certain of your contact information, limited to your name, address, e-mail address, phone number and account title.
When we share personal information with a nonaffiliated third party, they are required to limit their use of personal information to the particular purpose for which it was shared and they are not allowed to share personal information with others except to fulfill that limited purpose.
3. HOW DO WE PROTECT THE SECURITY AND CONFIDENTIALITY OF PERSONAL INFORMATION WE COLLECT ABOUT YOU?
We maintain physical, electronic and procedural security measures to help safeguard the personal information we collect about you. We have internal policies governing the proper handling of client information. Third parties that provide support or marketing services on our behalf may also receive personal information, and we require them to adhere to confidentiality standards with respect to such information.
4. HOW CAN YOU LIMIT THE SHARING OF CERTAIN TYPES OF PERSONAL INFORMATION WITH OTHER MORGAN STANLEY COMPANIES?
We respect your privacy and offer you choices as to whether we share with other Morgan Stanley companies personal information that was collected to determine your eligibility for products and services you request (“eligibility information”). Please note that, even if you direct us not to share eligibility information with other Morgan Stanley companies (“opt-out”), we may still share personal information, including eligibility information, with those companies in circumstances excluded from the opt-out under applicable law, such as to process transactions or to service your account. We may also share certain other types of personal information with other Morgan Stanley companies — such as your name, address, telephone number, e-mail address and account number(s), and information about your transactions and experiences with us.
5. HOW CAN YOU LIMIT THE USE OF CERTAIN TYPES OF PERSONAL INFORMATION BY OTHER MORGAN STANLEY COMPANIES FOR MARKETING?
You may limit other Morgan Stanley companies from marketing their products or services to you based on your personal information that they receive from other Morgan Stanley companies. This information includes your income, assets and account history. Your choice to limit marketing offers from other Morgan Stanley companies will apply until you tell us to change your choice.

(e)(1) The audit committee’s pre-approval policies and procedures are as follows:
APPENDIX A
AUDIT COMMITTEE
AUDIT AND NON-AUDIT SERVICES
PRE-APPROVAL POLICY AND PROCEDURES
OF THE
MORGAN STANLEY RETAIL AND INSTITUTIONAL FUNDS
AS ADOPTED AND AMENDED JULY 23, 2004,(1)
1. Statement of Principles
The Audit Committee of the Board is required to review and, in its sole discretion, pre-approve all Covered Services to be provided by the Independent Auditors to the Fund and Covered Entities in order to assure that services performed by the Independent Auditors do not impair the auditor’s independence from the Fund.
The SEC has issued rules specifying the types of services that an independent auditor may not provide to its audit client, as well as the audit committee’s administration of the engagement of the independent auditor. The SEC’s rules establish two different approaches to pre-approving services, which the SEC considers to be equally valid. Proposed services either: may be pre-approved without consideration of specific case-by-case services by the Audit Committee (“general pre-approval”); or require the specific pre-approval of the Audit Committee or its delegate (“specific pre-approval”). The Audit Committee believes that the combination of these two approaches in this Policy will result in an effective and efficient procedure to pre-approve services performed by the Independent Auditors. As set forth in this Policy, unless a type of service has received general pre-approval, it will require specific pre-approval by the Audit Committee (or by any member of the Audit Committee to which pre-approval authority has been delegated) if it is to be provided by the Independent Auditors. Any proposed services exceeding pre-approved cost levels or budgeted amounts will also require specific pre-approval by the Audit Committee.
The appendices to this Policy describe the Audit, Audit-related, Tax and All Other services that have the general pre-approval of the Audit Committee. The term of any general pre-approval is 12 months from the date of pre-approval, unless the Audit Committee considers and provides a different period and states otherwise. The Audit Committee will annually review and pre-approve the services that may be provided by the Independent Auditors without obtaining specific pre-approval from the Audit

Committee. The Audit Committee will add to or subtract from the list of general pre-approved services from time to time, based on subsequent determinations.
The purpose of this Policy is to set forth the policy and procedures by which the Audit Committee intends to fulfill its responsibilities. It does not delegate the Audit Committee’s responsibilities to pre-approve services performed by the Independent Auditors to management.
The Fund’s Independent Auditors have reviewed this Policy and believes that implementation of the Policy will not adversely affect the Independent Auditors’ independence.
2. Delegation
As provided in the Act and the SEC’s rules, the Audit Committee may delegate either type of pre-approval authority to one or more of its members. The member to whom such authority is delegated must report, for informational purposes only, any pre-approval decisions to the Audit Committee at its next scheduled meeting.
3. Audit Services
The annual Audit services engagement terms and fees are subject to the specific pre-approval of the Audit Committee. Audit services include the annual financial statement audit and other procedures required to be performed by the Independent Auditors to be able to form an opinion on the Fund’s financial statements. These other procedures include information systems and procedural reviews and testing performed in order to understand and place reliance on the systems of internal control, and consultations relating to the audit. The Audit Committee will approve, if necessary, any changes in terms, conditions and fees resulting from changes in audit scope, Fund structure or other items.
In addition to the annual Audit services engagement approved by the Audit Committee, the Audit Committee may grant general pre-approval to other Audit services, which are those services that only the Independent Auditors reasonably can provide. Other Audit services may include statutory audits and services associated with SEC registration statements (on Forms N-1A, N-2, N-3, N-4, etc.), periodic reports and other documents filed with the SEC or other documents issued in connection with securities offerings.
The Audit Committee has pre-approved the Audit services in Appendix B.1. All other Audit services not listed in Appendix B.1 must be specifically pre-approved by the Audit Committee (or by any member of the Audit Committee to which pre-approval has been delegated).
4. Audit-related Services
Audit-related services are assurance and related services that are reasonably related to the performance of the audit or review of the Fund’s financial statements and, to the extent they are Covered Services, the Covered Entities or that are traditionally performed by the Independent Auditors. Because the Audit Committee believes that the provision of Audit-related services does not impair the independence of the auditor and is consistent with the SEC’s rules on auditor independence, the Audit Committee may grant general

pre-approval to Audit-related services. Audit-related services include, among others, accounting consultations related to accounting, financial reporting or disclosure matters not classified as “Audit services”; assistance with understanding and implementing new accounting and financial reporting guidance from rulemaking authorities; agreed-upon or expanded audit procedures related to accounting and/or billing records required to respond to or comply with financial, accounting or regulatory reporting matters; and assistance with internal control reporting requirements under Forms N-SAR and/or N-CSR.
The Audit Committee has pre-approved the Audit-related services in Appendix B.2. All other Audit-related services not listed in Appendix B.2 must be specifically pre-approved by the Audit Committee (or by any member of the Audit Committee to which pre-approval has been delegated).
5. Tax Services
The Audit Committee believes that the Independent Auditors can provide Tax services to the Fund and, to the extent they are Covered Services, the Covered Entities, such as tax compliance, tax planning and tax advice without impairing the auditor’s independence, and the SEC has stated that the Independent Auditors may provide such services.
Pursuant to the preceding paragraph, the Audit Committee has pre-approved the Tax Services in Appendix B.3. All Tax services in Appendix B.3 must be specifically pre-approved by the Audit Committee (or by any member of the Audit Committee to which pre-approval has been delegated).
6. All Other Services
The Audit Committee believes, based on the SEC’s rules prohibiting the Independent Auditors from providing specific non-audit services, that other types of non-audit services are permitted. Accordingly, the Audit Committee believes it may grant general pre-approval to those permissible non-audit services classified as All Other services that it believes are routine and recurring services, would not impair the independence of the auditor and are consistent with the SEC’s rules on auditor independence.
The Audit Committee has pre-approved the All Other services in Appendix B.4. Permissible All Other services not listed in Appendix B.4 must be specifically pre-approved by the Audit Committee (or by any member of the Audit Committee to which pre-approval has been delegated).
7. Pre-Approval Fee Levels or Budgeted Amounts
Pre-approval fee levels or budgeted amounts for all services to be provided by the Independent Auditors will be established annually by the Audit Committee. Any proposed services exceeding these levels or amounts will require specific pre-approval by the Audit Committee. The Audit Committee is mindful of the overall relationship of fees for audit and non-audit services in determining whether to pre-approve any such services.
5
8. Procedures
All requests or applications for services to be provided by the Independent Auditors that do not require specific approval by the Audit Committee will be submitted to the Fund’s Chief Financial Officer and must include a detailed description of the services to be rendered. The Fund’s Chief Financial Officer will determine whether such services are included within the list of services that have received the general pre-approval of the Audit Committee. The Audit Committee will be informed on a timely basis of any such services rendered by the Independent Auditors. Requests or applications to provide services that require specific approval by the Audit Committee will be submitted to the Audit Committee by both the Independent Auditors and the Fund’s Chief Financial Officer, and must include a joint statement as to whether, in their view, the request or application is consistent with the SEC’s rules on auditor independence.
The Audit Committee has designated the Fund’s Chief Financial Officer to monitor the performance of all services provided by the Independent Auditors and to determine whether such services are in compliance with this Policy. The Fund’s Chief Financial Officer will report to the Audit Committee on a periodic basis on the results of its monitoring. Both the Fund’s Chief Financial Officer and management will immediately report to the chairman of the Audit Committee any breach of this Policy that comes to the attention of the Fund’s Chief Financial Officer or any member of management.
9. Additional Requirements
The Audit Committee has determined to take additional measures on an annual basis to meet its responsibility to oversee the work of the Independent Auditors and to assure the auditor’s independence from the Fund, such as reviewing a formal written statement from the Independent Auditors delineating all relationships between the Independent Auditors and the Fund, consistent with Independence Standards Board No. 1, and discussing with the Independent Auditors its methods and procedures for ensuring independence.
10. Covered Entities
Covered Entities include the Fund’s investment adviser(s) and any entity controlling, controlled by or under common control with the Fund’s investment adviser(s) that provides ongoing services to the Fund(s). Beginning with non-audit service contracts entered into on or after May 6, 2003, the Fund’s audit committee must pre-approve non-audit services provided not only to the Fund but also to the Covered Entities if the engagements relate directly to the operations and financial reporting of the Fund.
