The non-subsidized yield reflects what the yield would have been had a fee and/or expense waiver not been in place during the period shown.
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/im. Investment returns 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.
The Tax-Exempt 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.
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
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, 2010 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 “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.

Investment Advisory Agreement Approval
Nature, Extent and Quality of Services
The Board reviewed and considered the nature and extent of the investment advisory services provided by the Adviser (as defined herein) under the advisory agreement, including portfolio management, investment research and equity and fixed income securities trading. 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 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 advisory and administrative 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 the Portfolios and supported its decision to approve the Management Agreement.
Performance, Fees and Expenses of the Portfolios
The Board reviewed the performance, fees and expenses of the Portfolios compared to their peers, as determined by Lipper, and to appropriate benchmarks where applicable. The Board discussed with the Adviser the performance goals and the actual results achieved in managing the Portfolios. When considering a fund’s performance, the Board and the Adviser place emphasis on trends and longer-term returns (focusing on one-year, three-year and five-year performance as of December 31, 2009, or since inception, as applicable). When a fund underperforms its benchmark and/or its peer group average, the Board and the Adviser discuss the causes of such underperformance and, where necessary, they discuss specific changes to investment strategy or investment personnel.
Performance
The Board noted that the performances of the Treasury and Government Portfolios were better than the peer group averages for the one-, three- and five-year periods.
The Board noted that the performances of the Prime, Money Market and Tax-Exempt Portfolios were below the peer group averages for the one-year periods but better than the peer group averages for the three- and five-year periods.
With respect to the Treasury Securities Portfolio, the Board noted that performance was better than its peer group average for the one-year period and below its peer group average since October 7, 2008, the inception of the Portfolio.
With respect to the Government Securities Portfolio, the Board noted that performance was below its peer group average for the one-year period and since March 19, 2008, the inception of the Portfolio.
Performance Conclusions
With respect to the Government and Treasury Portfolios, after discussion, the Board concluded that performance was competitive with the peer group averages.
With respect to the Tax-Exempt, Government Securities, Treasury Securities, Money Market and Prime Portfolios, after discussion, the Board concluded that performance was acceptable.
Fees and Expenses
The Board members discussed with the Adviser the level of the advisory and administration fees (together, the “management fee”) for the Portfolios relative to comparable funds advised by the Adviser and compared to their peers as determined by Lipper. In addition to the management fee, the Board also reviewed the Portfolios’ total expense ratios.
The Board noted that the management fees and total expense ratios for all of the Portfolios (except the Money Market and Treasury Portfolios) were lower than the peer group averages.
With respect to the Money Market Portfolio, the Board noted that the management fee was equal to its peer group average and the total expense ratio was lower than its peer group average. With respect to the Treasury Portfolio, the Board noted that while the management fee was higher than its peer group average, the total expense ratio was lower than its peer group average.

Investment Advisory Agreement Approval (cont’d)
Fee and Expense Conclusions
With respect to the Treasury Portfolio, after discussion, the Board concluded that: (i) the management fee, although higher than its peer group average, was acceptable given the quality and nature of services provided, and (ii) the total expense ratio was competitive with its peer group average. With respect to each of the remaining Portfolios, after discussion, the Board concluded that the management fees and total expense ratios were competitive with the peer group averages.
Economies of Scale
The Board considered the size and growth prospects of the Portfolios and how that relates to the Portfolios’ total expense ratios and particularly the Portfolios’ management fee rates (which, for all the Portfolios do not include breakpoints). In conjunction with its review of the Adviser’s profitability, the Board discussed with the Adviser how a change in assets can affect the efficiency or effectiveness of managing the Portfolios and whether the management fee level is appropriate relative to current and projected asset levels and/or whether the management fee structure reflects economies of scale as asset levels change. The Board has determined that its review of the actual and potential economies of scale of each Portfolio supports its decision to approve the Management Agreement.
Profitability of the Adviser and Affiliates
The Board considered information concerning the costs incurred and profits realized by the Adviser and its affiliates during the last year from their relationship with the Portfolios and during the last two years from their relationship with the Morgan Stanley Fund Complex and reviewed with the Adviser the cost allocation methodology used to determine the profitability of the Adviser and affiliates. The Board has determined that its review of the analysis of the Adviser’s expenses and profitability supports its decision to approve the Management Agreement.
Other Benefits of the Relationship
The Board considered other benefits to the Adviser and its affiliates derived from their relationship with the Portfolios and other funds advised by the Adviser. These benefits may include, among other things, “float” benefits derived from handling of checks for purchases and sales, research received by the Adviser generated from commission dollars spent on funds’ portfolio trading and fees for distribution and/or shareholder servicing. The Board reviewed with the Adviser each of these arrangements and the reasonableness of the Adviser’s costs relative to the services performed. The Board has determined that its review of the other benefits received by the Adviser or its affiliates supports its decision to approve the Management Agreement.
Resources of the Adviser and Historical Relationship Between the Portfolios and the Adviser
The Board considered whether the Adviser is financially sound and has the resources necessary to perform its obligations under the Management Agreement. 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 the Adviser has the financial resources necessary to fulfill its obligations under the Management Agreement and 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 Fund’s 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 the Fund’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. In reaching this conclusion the Board did not give particular weight to any single factor referenced above. The Board considered these factors over the course of numerous meetings, some of which were in executive session with only the Independent Board members and their counsel present. It is possible that individual Board members may have weighed these factors differently in reaching their individual decisions to approve the Management Agreement.

Investment Overview
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. The Portfolio also invests in obligations of foreign governments and in obligations issued or guaranteed by the U.S. government and its agencies and instrumentalities, including securities guaranteed under the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) Temporary Liquidity Guarantee Program. No individual security will have a remaining maturity in excess of 397 days, except for adjustment rate government securities with maturities in excess of 397 days.
Performance
For the fiscal year ended October 31, 2010, the Portfolio’s Institutional Share Class had a total return of 0.18%. For the seven-day period ended October 31, 2010, the Portfolio’s Institutional Share Class provided an annualized current yield of 0.23% (subsidized) and 0.18% (non-subsidized), while its 30-day moving average annualized yield was 0.23% (subsidized) and 0.17% (non-subsidized). Yield quotation more closely reflects the current earnings of the Portfolio than the total return. The non-subsidized yield reflects what the yield would have been had a fee and/or expense waiver not been in place during the period shown. Past performance is no guarantee of future results.
Factors Affecting Performance
· The U.S. economy rebounded significantly during the 12-month reporting period. According to gross domestic product (GDP) data, the economy expanded at a 5.0% pace in the fourth quarter of 2009, the fastest pace since 2006. In the first quarter of 2010, GDP growth measured 3.7%, with the second quarter registering a 1.7% rate of growth and a 2.5% for the third quarter. The employment picture improved, albeit modestly. After reaching a high of 10.10% in late 2009, the unemployment rate fell back to 9.6% in September of this year. While this is still high and in our view unlikely to decline significantly, it does appear to us that the unemployment rate has peaked. Non-farm payroll d ata indicate a gradually improving labor market picture as well, with average monthly job gains of 360,000 for April and May; however, this improvement was greatly aided by census hiring.
· The money markets continued to gain stability from the expansion of the Federal Reserve’s balance sheet. However, notable announcements by the Federal Reserve (the “Fed”) and Treasury beginning in February indicated that the period of extraordinary liquidity measures provided by emergency government actions were coming to an end, and efforts to begin draining excess reserves from the banking system would soon be underway. Specifically, on February 18, the Fed raised the discount rate by 25 basis points in an effort to bring normalcy to the financing markets and raise the spread between the discount rate and the federal funds target rate.
· On February 23, the Treasury announced that they would ramp up their Supplementary Financing Program with $200 billion of Treasury bill issuance in the form of weekly $25 billion auctions over an eight-week period, the proceeds of which would be transferred to the Fed and therefore, removed from the banking system. On April 30, the Federal Reserve Bank of New York (FRBNY) announced amendments to Regulation D that would authorize Reserve Banks to offer term deposits to institutions that are eligible to earn interest on their balances held at Reserve Banks. This paved the way for initial testing of the Term Deposit Facility that will serve as one of the tools available to be u sed to drain reserves when monetary policy changes are implemented. The FRBNY also released the Master Repurchase Agreement document for money market mutual funds to be used in reverse repo transactions with the Fed, which will provide another avenue for the draining of reserves once the decision is made to move forward with this program.
· On February 23, the SEC also published its final Money Market Fund Reform rules, which became effective in May. The rules require that as of June 30, funds must meet 10% daily and 30% weekly liquidity requirements and maintain a weighted average maturity (WAM) of not more than 60 days and a weighted average life (WAL) of not more than 120 days. Additionally, funds must be compliant with monthly portfolio website reporting by October 7 and monthly SEC reporting by December 7. Our portfolios have been operating in accordance with the portfolio liquidity and maturity aspects of the Rule 2a-7 changes and therefore, we do not anticipate any further impact on our cu rrent management strategy.

Money Market Portfolio
Management Strategies
· As of October 31, 2010, the Portfolio had net assets of approximately $3.2 billion. The Portfolio’s WAM and WAL were 32 days and 71 days, respectively.
· During the reporting period, we continued to emphasize purchasing high-quality corporate, financial, and banking obligations. We focused on maintaining high levels of liquidity and a prudent weighted average maturity and weighted average life in an effort to guard the Portfolio against the uncertainty caused by volatility in the financial markets. Our strategy in managing the Portfolio remained consistent with our long-term focus on capital preservation and very high liquidity and as in the past, we adhered to a conservative approach. We continue to review all eligible securities on our purchase list in an attempt to ensure that they continue to meet our high standards of minimal cred it risk.

2010 Annual Report
October 31, 2010 (unaudited)
Investment Overview
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 U.S. dollar-denominated money market instruments of U.S. and foreign financial corporations and U.S. non-financial corporations. The Portfolio also invests in obligations issued or guaranteed by the U.S. government and its agencies and instrumentalities, including securities guaranteed under the FDIC Temporary Liquidity Guarantee Program. No individual security will have a remaining maturity in excess of 397 days, except for adjustment rate government securities with maturities in excess of 397 days.
Performance
For the fiscal year ended October 31, 2010, the Portfolio’s Institutional Share Class had a total return of 0.16%. For the seven-day period ended October 31, 2010, the Portfolio’s Institutional Share Class provided an annualized current yield of 0.20% (subsidized) and 0.14% (non-subsidized), while its 30-day moving average annualized yield was 0.20% (subsidized) and 0.15% (non-subsidized). Yield quotation more closely reflects the current earnings of the Portfolio than the total return. The non-subsidized yield reflects what the yield would have been had a fee and/or expense waiver not been in place during the period shown. Past performance is no guarantee of future results.
Factors Affecting Performance
· The U.S. economy rebounded significantly during the 12-month reporting period. According to gross domestic product (GDP) data, the economy expanded at a 5.0% pace in the fourth quarter of 2009, the fastest pace since 2006. In the first quarter of 2010, GDP growth measured 3.7%, with the second quarter registering a 1.7% rate of growth and a 2.5% for the third quarter. The employment picture improved, albeit modestly. After reaching a high of 10.10% in late 2009, the unemployment rate fell back to 9.6% in September of this year. While this is still high and in our view unlikely to decline significantly, it does appear to us that the unemployment rate has peaked. Non-farm payroll data indicate a gradually improving labor market picture as well, with average monthly job gains of 360,000 for April and May; however, this improvement was greatly aided by census hiring.
· The money markets continued to gain stability from the expansion of the Federal Reserve’s balance sheet. However, notable announcements by the Federal Reserve (the “Fed”) and Treasury beginning in February indicated that the period of extraordinary liquidity measures provided by emergency government actions were coming to an end, and efforts to begin draining excess reserves from the banking system would soon be underway. Specifically, on February 18, the Fed raised the discount rate by 25 basis points in an effort to bring normalcy to the financing markets and raise the spread between the discount rate and the federal funds target rate.
· On February 23, the Treasury announced that they would ramp up their Supplementary Financing Program with $200 billion of Treasury bill issuance in the form of weekly $25 billion auctions over an eight-week period, the proceeds of which would be transferred to the Fed and therefore, removed from the banking system. On April 30, the Federal Reserve Bank of New York (FRBNY) announced amendments to Regulation D that would authorize Reserve Banks to offer term deposits to institutions that are eligible to earn interest on their balances held at Reserve Banks. This paved the way for initial testing of the Term Deposit Facility that will serve as one of the tools available to be u sed to drain reserves when monetary policy changes are implemented. The FRBNY also released the Master Repurchase Agreement document for money market mutual funds to be used in reverse repo transactions with the Fed, which will provide another avenue for the draining of reserves once the decision is made to move forward with this program.
· On February 23, the SEC also published its final Money Market Fund Reform rules, which became effective in May. The rules require that as of June 30, funds must meet 10% daily and 30% weekly liquidity requirements and maintain a weighted average maturity (WAM) of not more than 60 days and a weighted average life (WAL) of not more than 120 days. Additionally, funds must be compliant with monthly portfolio website reporting by October 7 and monthly SEC reporting by December 7. Our portfolios have been operating in accordance with the portfolio liquidity and maturity aspects of the Rule 2a-7 changes and therefore, we do not anticipate any further impact on o ur current management strategy.

Management Strategies
· As of October 31, 2010, the Portfolio had net assets of approximately $14.3 billion. The Portfolio’s WAM and WAL were 32 days and 69 days, respectively.
· During the reporting period, we continued to emphasize purchasing high-quality corporate, financial, and banking obligations. We focused on maintaining high levels of liquidity and a prudent weighted average maturity and weighted average life in an effort to guard the Portfolio against the uncertainty caused by volatility in the financial markets. Our strategy in managing the Portfolio remained consistent with our long-term focus on capital preservation and very high liquidity and as in the past, we adhered to a conservative approach. We continue to review all eligible securities on our purchase list in an attempt to ensure that they continue to meet our high standards of minimal cred it risk.

Investment Overview
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 issued or guaranteed by the U.S. government and its agencies and instrumentalities and in repurchase agreements collateralized by such securities. The Portfolio may change its principal investment strategies; however you would be notified of any changes. No individual security will have a remaining maturity in excess of 397 days.
Performance
For the fiscal year ended October 31, 2010, the Portfolio’s Institutional Share Class had a total return of 0.06%. For the seven-day period ended October 31, 2010, the Portfolio’s Institutional Share Class provided an annualized current yield of 0.08% (subsidized) and 0.05% (non-subsidized), while its 30-day moving average annualized yield was 0.08% (subsidized) and 0.03% (non-subsidized.) Yield quotation more closely reflects the current earnings of the Portfolio than the total return. The non-subsidized yield reflects what the yield would have been had a fee and/or expense waiver not been in place during the period shown. Past performance is no guarantee of future results.
Factors Affecting Performance
· The U.S. economy rebounded significantly during the 12-month reporting period. According to gross domestic product (GDP) data, the economy expanded at a 5.0% pace in the fourth quarter of 2009, the fastest pace since 2006. In the first quarter of 2010, GDP growth measured 3.7%, with the second quarter registering a 1.7% rate of growth and a 2.5% for the third quarter. The employment picture improved, albeit modestly. After reaching a high of 10.10% in late 2009, the unemployment rate fell back to 9.6% in September of this year. While this is still high and in our view unlikely to decline significantly, it does appear to us that the unemployment rate has peaked. Non-fa rm payroll data indicate a gradually improving labor market picture as well, with average monthly job gains of 360,000 for April and May; however, this improvement was greatly aided by census hiring.
· The money markets continued to gain stability from the expansion of the Federal Reserve’s balance sheet. However, notable announcements by the Federal Reserve (the “Fed”) and Treasury beginning in February 2010 indicated that the period of extraordinary liquidity measures provided by emergency government actions were coming to an end and efforts to begin draining excess reserves from the banking system would soon be underway. Specifically, on February 18, the Fed raised the discount rate by 25 basis points in an effort to bring normalcy to the financing markets and raise the spread between the discount rate and the federal funds target rate.
· On February 23, the Treasury announced that they would ramp up their Supplementary Financing Program with $200 billion of Treasury bill issuance in the form of weekly $25 billion auctions over an eight week period, the proceeds of which would be transferred to the Fed and therefore removed from the banking system. On April 30, the Federal Reserve Bank of New York (FRBNY) announced amendments to Regulation D that would authorize Reserve Banks to offer term deposits to institutions that are eligible to earn interest on their balances held at Reserve Banks. This paved the way for initial testing of the Term Deposit Facility that will serve as one of the tools available to be us ed to drain reserves when monetary policy changes are implemented. The FRBNY also released the Master Repurchase Agreement document for money market mutual funds to be used in reverse repo transactions with the Fed, which will provide another avenue for the draining of reserves once the decision is made to move forward with this program.
· On February 23, the SEC also published its final Money Market Fund Reform rules, which became effective in May. The rules require that as of June 30, funds must meet 10% daily and 30% weekly liquidity requirements and maintain a weighted average maturity (WAM) of not more than 60 days and a weighted average life (WAL) of not more than 120 days. Additionally, funds must be compliant with monthly portfolio website reporting by October 7 and monthly SEC reporting by December 7. Our portfolios have been operating in accordance with the portfolio liquidity and maturity aspects of the Rule 2a-7 changes and therefore, we do not anticipate any further impact on o ur current management strategy.

Investment Overview (cont’d)
Government Portfolio
Management Strategies
· As of October 31, 2010, the Portfolio had net assets of approximately $7.0 billion. The Portfolio’s WAM and WAL were 44 days and 77 days, respectively.
· During the reporting period, yields of short agency securities and U.S. Treasuries fell as the market continued to price out interest rate hikes in 2010. Yields on overnight repurchase agreements stayed relatively competitive to those of longer-term agency paper. Consequently, we invested an ample amount in overnight repurchase agreement with the remainder of the Portfolio invested in longer-term agency and U.S. Treasuries. By positioning the Portfolio in this manner, we feel we maintained optimal liquidity in the low-rate environment. We expect to maintain this conservative posture and short WAM and WAL positioning.

Investment Overview
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. No individual security will have a remaining maturity in excess of 397 days except for adjustable rate government securities with maturities in excess of 397 days.
Performance
For the fiscal period ended October 31, 2010, the Portfolio’s Institutional Share Class had a total return of 0.02%. For the seven-day period ended October 31, 2010, the Portfolio’s Institutional Share Class provide an annualized current yield of 0.03% (subsidized) and -0.03% (non subsidized), while its 30-day moving average annualized yield was 0.04% (subsidized) and -0.05% (non-subsidized). Yield quotation more closely reflects the current earnings of the Portfolio than the total return. The non-subsidized yield reflects what the yield would have been had a fee and/or expense waiver not been in place during the period shown. Past performance is no guarantee of future results.
Factors Affecting Performance
· The U.S. economy rebounded significantly during the 12-month reporting period. According to gross domestic product (GDP) data, the economy expanded at a 5.0% pace in the fourth quarter of 2009, the fastest pace since 2006. In the first quarter of 2010, GDP growth measured 3.7%, with the second quarter registering a 1.7% rate of growth and a 2.5% for the third quarter. The employment picture improved, albeit modestly. After reaching a high of 10.10% in late 2009, the unemployment rate fell back to 9.6% in September of this year. While this is still high and in our view unlikely to decline significantly, it does appear to us that the unemployment rate has peaked. Non-farm payroll data indicate a gradually improving labor market picture as well, with average monthly job gains of 360,000 for April and May; however, this improvement was greatly aided by census hiring.
· The money markets continued to gain stability from the expansion of the Federal Reserve’s balance sheet. However, notable announcements by the Federal Reserve (the “Fed”) and Treasury beginning in February 2010 indicated that the period of extraordinary liquidity measures provided by emergency government actions were coming to an end and efforts to begin draining excess reserves from the banking system would soon be underway. Specifically, on February 18, the Fed raised the discount rate by 25 basis points in an effort to bring normalcy to the financing markets and raise the spread between the discount rate and the federal funds target rate.
· On February 23, the Treasury announced that they would ramp up their Supplementary Financing Program with $200 billion of Treasury bill issuance in the form of weekly $25 billion auctions over an eight-week period, the proceeds of which would be transferred to the Fed and therefore removed from the banking system. On April 30, the Federal Reserve Bank of New York (FRBNY) announced amendments to Regulation D that would authorize Reserve Banks to offer term deposits to institutions that are eligible to earn interest on their balances held at Reserve Banks. This paved the way for initial testing of the Term Deposit Facility that will serve as one of the tools available to be used to drain reserves when monetary policy changes are implemented. The FRBNY also released the Master Repurchase Agreement document for money market mutual funds to be used in reverse repo transactions with the Fed, which will provide another avenue for the draining of reserves once the decision is made to move forward with this program.
· On February 23, the SEC also published its final Money Market Fund Reform rules, which became effective in May. The rules require that as of June 30, funds must meet 10% daily and 30% weekly liquidity requirements and maintain a weighted average maturity (WAM) of not more than 60 days and a weighted average life (WAL) of not more than 120 days. Additionally, funds must be compliant with monthly portfolio website reporting by October 7 and monthly SEC reporting by December 7. Our portfolios have been operating in accordance with the portfolio liquidity and maturity aspects of the Rule 2a-7 changes and

therefore, we do not anticipate any further impact on our current management strategy.
Management Strategies
· As of October 31, 2010, the Portfolio had net assets of approximately $572 million. The Portfolio’s WAM and WAL were 34 days and 72 days, respectively.
· During the reporting period, yields of short agency securities and U.S. Treasuries fell as the market continued to price out interest rate hikes in 2010. We invested an ample amount in short agencies to maintain liquidity and the remainder of the Portfolio in longer-term agencies and U.S. Treasuries. By positioning the Portfolio in this manner, we feel we maintained optimal liquidity in the low-rate environment. We expect to maintain our conservative posture and short WAM and WAL positioning.

Investment Overview
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, which are backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. government, and repurchase agreements collateralized by such securities. The Portfolio may change its principal investment strategies; however you would be notified of any changes. No individual security will have a remaining maturity in excess of 397 days.
Performance
For the fiscal period ended October 31, 2010, the Portfolio’s Institutional Share Class had a total return of 0.04%. For the seven-day period ended October 31, 2010, the Portfolio’s Institutional Share Class provide an annualized current yield of 0.05% (subsidized) and 0.00% (non-subsidized), while its 30-day moving average annualized yield was 0.06% and -0.01% (non-subsidized). Yield quotation more closely reflects the current earnings of the Portfolio than the total return. The non-subsidized yield reflects what the yield would have been had a fee and/or expense waiver not been in place during the period shown. Past performance is no guarantee of future results.

Management Strategies
· As of October 31, 2010, the Portfolio had net assets of approximately $5.1 billion. The Portfolio’s WAM and WAL were 36 days.
· During the reporting period, yields on short U.S. Treasuries remained low as investor demand was strong. Yields on overnight repurchase agreements collateralized by U.S. Treasuries stayed relatively competitive to longer-term investments in Treasury bills and notes. Consequently, we invested a significant amount in overnight repurchase agreements in order to maintain optimal liquidity in the low-rate environment. We expect to maintain this conservative posture and short WAM and WAL positioning.

Investment Overview
Treasury Securities Portfolio
The Portfolio is not currently offering its shares to investors. The Treasury 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 exclusively in U.S. Treasury obligations. Such obligations are backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. government. The Portfolio may change its principal investment strategies; however you would be notified of any changes. No individual security will have a remaining maturity in excess of 397 days.
Performance
For the fiscal year ended October 31, 2010, the Portfolio’s Institutional Share Class had a total return of 0.05%. For the seven-day period ended October 31, 2010, the Portfolio’s Institutional Share Class provided an annualized current yield of 0.01% (subsidized) and -21.76% (non-subsidized), while its 30-day moving average annualized yield was 0.01% (subsidized) and -5.82% (non-subsidized). Yield quotation more closely reflects the current earnings of the Portfolio than the total return. The non-subsidized yield reflects what the yield would have been had a fee and/or expense waiver not been in place during the period shown. Past performance is no guarantee of future results.
Factors Affecting Performance
· The U.S. economy rebounded significantly during the 12-month reporting period. According to gross domestic product (GDP) data, the economy expanded at a 5.0% pace in the fourth quarter of 2009, the fastest pace since 2006. In the first quarter of 2010, GDP growth measured 3.7%, with the second quarter registering a 1.7% rate of growth and a 2.5% for the third quarter. The employment picture improved, albeit modestly. After reaching a high of 10.10% in late 2009, the unemployment rate fell back to 9.6% in September of this year. While this is still high and in our view unlikely to decline significantly, i t does appear to us that the unemployment rate has peaked. Non-farm payroll data indicate a gradually improving labor market picture as well, with average monthly job gains of 360,000 for April and May; however, this improvement was greatly aided by census hiring.
· The money markets continued to gain stability from the expansion of the Federal Reserve’s balance sheet. However, notable announcements by the Federal Reserve (the “Fed”) and Treasury beginning in February 2010 indicated that the period of extraordinary liquidity measures provided by emergency government actions were coming to an end and efforts to begin draining excess reserves from the banking system would soon be underway. Specifically, on February 18, the Fed raised the discount rate by 25 basis points in an effort to bring normalcy to the financing markets and raise the spread be tween the discount rate and the federal funds target rate.
· On February 23, the Treasury announced that they would ramp up their Supplementary Financing Program with $200 billion of Treasury bill issuance in the form of weekly $25 billion auctions over an eight week period, the proceeds of which would be transferred to the Fed and therefore removed from the banking system. On April 30, the Federal Reserve Bank of New York (FRBNY) announced amendments to Regulation D that would authorize Reserve Banks to offer term deposits to institutions that are eligible to earn interest on their balances held at Reserve Banks. This paved the way for initial testing of the Term Deposit Facility that will serve as one of the tools available to be used to drain reserves when monetary policy changes are implemented. The FRBNY also released the Master Repurchase Agreement document for money market mutual funds to be used in reverse repo transactions with the Fed, which will provide another avenue for the draining of reserves once the decision is made to move forward with this program.
· On February 23, the SEC also published its final Money Market Fund Reform rules, which became effective in May. The rules require that as of June 30, funds must meet 10% daily and 30% weekly liquidity requirements and maintain a weighted average maturity (WAM) of not more than 60 days and a weighted average life (WAL) of not more than 120 days. Additionally, funds must be compliant with monthly portfolio website reporting by October 7 and monthly SEC reporting by December 7. Our portfolios have been operating in accordance with the portfolio liquidity and maturity aspects of the Rule& nbsp;2a-7 changes and therefore, we do not anticipate any further impact on our current management strategy.

Management Strategies
· As of October 31, 2010, the Portfolio had net assets of approximately $19.4 million. The Portfolio’s WAM and WAL were 52 days.
· During the reporting period, yields on short U.S. Treasuries remained low as investor demand for Treasuries was strong. The yield of the Portfolio is therefore a reflection of the low yield environment in the Treasury bill market. Our strategy will remain to maintain a conservative and liquid profile in the Portfolio.

Investment Overview
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 up to 20% of its assets in taxable money market securities or in municipal obligations that pay interest income that may be subject to the alternative minimum tax; however, it is currently intended that the Portfolio will be managed so that income generated by the Portfolio will not be subject to the alternative minimum tax. No individual security will have a remaining maturity in excess of 397 days.
Performance
For the fiscal year ended October 31, 2010, the Portfolio’s Institutional Share Class had a total return of 0.12%. For the seven-day period ended October 31, 2010, the Portfolio’s Institutional Share Class provided an annualized current yield of 0.12% (subsidized) and 0.00% (non-subsidized), while its 30-day moving average annualized yield was 0.10% (subsidized) and -0.02% (non-subsidized). Yield quotation more closely reflects the current earnings of the Portfolio than the total return. The non-subsidized yield reflects what the yield would have been had a fee and/or expense waiver not been in place during the period shown. Past performance is no guarantee of future results.
Factors Affecting Performance
· Yields for Variable Rate Demand Notes (VRDNs), which represent the majority of short-term tax exempt instruments, have been range bound through much of 2010, hovering near historical lows. The SIFMA Index (the seven-day high grade municipal index comprised of tax-exempt variable rate demand obligations) has been stuck in a narrow band between 25 and 30 basis points. Although the largest buyer base of VRDNs, tax-exempt money market funds (MMFs), has seen steady asset outflows, weekly reset levels have for the most part stayed unchanged, however, as crossover buyers from the taxable market continue to be a fact or in the VRDN market.
· Continued refinancing of VRDNs into long-term fixed rate securities has reduced supply, in turn, keeping a lid on any broad volatility in reset rates. Nonetheless, the upcoming bulge in the schedule for renewing liquidity facility expiration dates and implications around Basel III will, in our view, also weigh heavily on supply/demand conditions into 2011.
· While concern about the fiscal condition of state and local governments has risen, municipalities have generally been taking steps to address their budgetary challenges. Indeed, the continuing slow pace of the economic recovery has increased the political will to make tough decisions. States, cities and school districts have sought to close gaps through a variety of actions, including reductions in payrolls and benefits, cuts in services and increases in taxes and fees. These efforts have helped to stabilize the financial position of state and local governments. Furthermore, despite the worst economic downtur n in decades, reported defaults and bankruptcy filings remain rare and typically involve unusual circumstances.
· Evidence of improving government revenues has begun to surface. Nonetheless, budgetary pressures are expected to stretch well beyond the next fiscal year as the economy recovers lost ground and the unemployment rate slowly works its way down. Ongoing imbalances are likely to force municipal governments to continue searching for ways to cut services and increase revenues.
· With regard to public sector employment, roughly 75% of the state and local job cuts have occurred in five states: New Jersey, New York, California, Ohio and Michigan. Nationwide, 35 states reduced government payrolls in the past year, while 15 states increased employment. Smaller workforces — along with federal stimulus money and an increase in tax collections — have helped certain state and local governments run budget surpluses since last October, according to the Bureau of Economic Analysis.

Tax-Exempt Portfolio
Management Strategies
· Protecting the safety and liquidity of the Portfolio is our first priority. In this cautious economic environment with interest rates near zero, our efforts remain centered on monitoring the health of credit support providers and carefully managing weighted average maturities.
· To that end, we have 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.
· Our general strategy has been to stay relatively short to our peer group, with a focus on variable-rate securities.
· We will also continue to closely follow the progress of municipal governments in dealing with the budgetary imbalances that have arisen from declining revenues and increasing demands for social services.
· As of the end of the period, the Portfolio had net assets of approximately $1.8 billion. The Portfolio’s weighted average maturity (WAM) and weighted average life (WAL) were 24 days. Roughly 82% of the Portfolio was invested in VRDOs, 10% in tax-exempt commercial paper and 8% in fixed-rate municipal notes.

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.
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).
As of December 23, 2008, the Treasury Securities Portfolio was closed to new investors. Existing shareholders may maintain their shares in the Portfolio, reinvested dividends or redeem shares, but can not add to their current balance or replenish balances if they have since redeemed. The Fund may resume offering of the Portfolio’s shares in the future.
A. Significant 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 its 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, in accordance with Rule 2a-7 under the 1940 Act.
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. Fair Value Measurement: In accordance with the provisions of Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards CodificationTM (“ASC”) “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosure” (“ASC 820”), fair value is defined as the price that the Portfolios 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. ASC 820 establishes a three-tier hierarchy to distinguish between (1) inputs that reflect the assumptions market participants would use in valuing 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 entity’s own assumptions about the assumptions market participants would use in valuing 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 Portfolios’ investments. The inputs are summarized in the three broad levels listed below.
· Level 1 – quoted prices in active markets for identical securities
· 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 each Portfolio’s 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.
On January 21, 2010, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2010-06. The ASU amends Accounting Standards Codification 820 to add new requirements for disclosures about transfers into and out of Levels 1 and 2 and separate disclosures about purchases, sales, issuances, and settlements relating to Level 3 measurements. It also clarifies existing fair value disclosures about the level of disaggregation and
71
2010 Annual Report

Notes to Financial Statements (cont’d)
about inputs and valuation techniques in Level 2 and Level 3 fair value measurements. The application of ASU 2010-06 is required for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2009, except for disclosures about purchases, sales, issuances, and settlements relating to level 3 measurements, which are required for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2010 and for interim periods within those fiscal years. The impact of this new guidance on the Fund’s financial statements, if any, is currently being assessed by the Fund’s management.
4. Other: Security transactions are accounted for on the date the securities are purchased or sold. Realized gains (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 investment advisory services to the Fund under the terms of an Investment Advisory Agreement (the “Agreement”) at the annual rates of the average daily net assets indicated below. The Adviser has voluntarily agreed to reduce its advisory fee and/or absorb other expenses, after giving effect to custody fee offsets, so that total annual operating expenses of each share class will not exceed the amounts noted below. This fee and expense waiver may be discontinued at any time.
Portfolio | | Advisory Fees | |
Money Market | | 0.15 | % |

Cash Management Class | | 0.35 | | 0.35 | | 0.35 | |
The Ratio of Expenses to Average Net Assets disclosed in the Portfolios’ Financial Highlights may be lower than the maximum ratios indicated in the table above due to additional voluntary expense limitations imposed by the Adviser. The Adviser may terminate these additional voluntary limitations at any time at its sole discretion.
C. Administration Fees: MS Investment Management (the “Administrator”) also provides the Fund with administrative services pursuant to an administration agreement for an annual fee, accrued daily and paid monthly, of 0.05% of each Portfolio’s average daily net assets.
Under a sub-administration agreement between the Administrator and State Street Bank and Trust Company (“State Street”), State Street provides certain administrative services to the Fund. For such services, the Administrator pays State Street a portion of the fee the Administrator receives from the Fund. Prior to June 14, 2010, JPMorgan Investor Services Co. (“JPMIS”) provided certain administrative services to the Fund. For such services, the Administrator paid JPMIS a portion of the fee the Administrator received from the Fund.
D. Distribution and Service and Shareholder Administration Plan Fees: Morgan Stanley Distribution, Inc. (the “Distributor”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of MS Investment Management and an indirect subsidiary of Morgan Stanley, serves as the distributor of the Fund. The Fund has entered into an Administration Plan with respect to its Service Class, Investor Class and Administrative Class shares pursuant to which each class of shares will pay the Distributor a monthly or quarterly fee at an annual rate of up to 0.05%, 0.10% and 0.15%, of the average daily net assets of each such class of shares, respectively, to compensate certain financial intermediaries who provide administrative services to shareholders.
The Fund has also entered into a Service and Shareholder Administration Plan with respect to its Advisory Class shares pursuant to which its Advisory Class shares pays the Distributor a monthly or quarterly fee at an annual rate of up to 0.25% of the average daily net assets of such class of shares, to compensate certain financial intermediaries who provide administrative services, personal and account maintenance services to shareholders.
The Fund has also entered into a Shareholder Service Plan and a Distribution Plan with respect to its Participant Class shares.

2010 Annual Report
October 31, 2010
Notes to Financial Statements (cont’d)
Pursuant to the Shareholder Service Plan, the Participant Class shares will pay the Distributor a monthly or quarterly fee at an annual rate of up to 0.25% of the average daily net assets of such class of shares, to compensate certain financial intermediaries who provide administrative services, personal and account maintenance services. Pursuant to the Distribution Plan, the Participant Class shares will pay the Distributor a monthly or quarterly fee at an annual rate of up to 0.25% of the average daily net assets of such class of shares, to compensate for any activities or expenses primarily intended to result in the sale of such class of shares.
The Fund has also entered into a Shareholder Service Plan with respect to its Cash Management Class shares to pay the Distributor to compensate Service Organizations who provide administrative services to shareholders. Pursuant to the Shareholder Service Plan, the Cash Management Class shares will pay the Distributor a monthly or quarterly service fee at an annual rate of 0.05% of the average daily net assets of such class of shares, to compensate Service Organizations for staffing and maintaining call centers and answering inquiries and addressing issues related to the Cash Management Class shares.
The Fund has also entered into a Distribution Plan with respect to its Cash Management Class shares pursuant to which its Cash Management Class shares pays the Distributor a monthly or quarterly fee at an annual rate of up to 0.10% of the average daily net assets of such class of shares (prior to June 14, 2010, the annual rate was 0.25%), to compensate certain financial intermediaries who provide any activities or expenses primarily intended to result in the sale of such class of shares.
The Distributor has voluntarily agreed to reduce its distribution fees, if necessary. The Distributor may terminate these additional waivers at any time.
E. Dividend Disbursing and Transfer Agent: 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.
F. Custodian Fees: State Street Bank and Trust Company (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 Portfolio’s expenses. If applicable, these custodian credits are shown as “Expense Offset” in the Statements of Operations.
Prior to June 14, 2010, JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. served as custodian for the Fund in accordance with the custodian agreement.
G. Federal Income Taxes: It is each Portfolio’s intention to continue 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.
FASB ASC 740-10 “Income Taxes — Overall” sets forth a minimum threshold for financial statement recognition of the benefit of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. Management has concluded there are no significant uncertain tax positions that would require recognition in the financial statements. If applicable, the Portfolios recognize interest accrued related to unrecognized tax benefits in “Interest Expense” and penalties in “Other” expenses on the Statement of Operations. The Portfolios file tax returns with the U.S. Internal Revenue Service, New York and various states. Generally, each of the tax years in the four year period ended October 31, 2010, remains subject to examination by taxing authorities.
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 2010 and 2009 was as follows:
| | 2010 | | 2009 | |
| | Distributions | | Distributions | |
| | Paid From: | | Paid From: | |
| | | | | | Long- | | | | | | Long- | |

Government Securities | | 157 | | — | | 4 | | 915 | | — | | — | |
Treasury | | 1,697 | | — | | — | | 6,675 | | — | | — | |
Treasury Securities | | 8 | | — | | — | | 64 | | — | | — | |
Tax-Exempt | | 118 | | 1,685 | | 152 | | 606 | | 9,316 | | — | |
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
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. These 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 and/or deferred compensation.
Permanent differences are generally due to distribution reclass, net operating loss, capital infusion and/or gain on the sale of deferred compensation assets. These resulted in the following

2010 Annual Report

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, 2010, and the related statements of operations for the year then ended, the statements of changes in net assets for each of the two years then ended, and the financial highlights for each of the periods indicated therein. 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, 2010, by correspondence with the custodian and brokers or by other appropriate auditing procedures when 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, 2010, the results of their operations for the year then ended, the changes in their net assets for each of the two years then ended, and the financial highlights for each of the periods indicated therein, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

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 se rvice 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.
(1) This Audit Committee Audit and Non-Audit Services Pre-Approval Policy and Procedures (the “Policy”), adopted as of the date above, supersedes and replaces all prior versions that may have been adopted from time to time.
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.
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.
