 | The performance of the Fund’s four share classes varies because each has different expenses. The Fund’s total returns assume the reinvestment of all distributions but do not reflect the deduction of any applicable sales charges. Such costs would lower performance. See Performance Summary for standardized performance and benchmark information. |
Market Conditions
The broad stock market was considerably volatile in the six months ended December 31, 2007. By the third quarter of 2007, the subprime mortgage market’s troubles spilled into the credit market and the broader economy. A tightening in credit standards, mortgage lender bankruptcies and hedge fund implosions were followed by multi-billion dollar losses reported at several large financial institutions in the fourth quarter. At the same time, a cross current of unfavorable data buffeted the market, indicating a languishing housing market, declining consumer spending, rising oil prices and negative year-over-year corporate profit growth.
A series of reductions to both the discount rate and the target federal funds rate by the Federal Open Market Committee (the ‘‘Fed’’) helped financial markets regain their footing at several points in the third and fourth quarters. However, skepticism quickly returned as investors worried that the Fed’s ability to steer the economy away from recession would be limited by potentially rising inflation. Fourth quarter corporate earnings expectations were dismal, with only the largest multi-national companies expected to generate growth through their exposure to international markets.
Performance Analysis
Morgan Stanley Equally-Weighted S&P 500 Fund Class A, Class B and Class C shares underperformed and Class D shares outperformed the S&P Equal Weight Index while all share classes underperformed the Lipper Multi-Cap Core Funds Index for the six months ended December 31, 2007, assuming no deduction of applicable sales charges.
2
Energy was the best performing sector for the Fund and the S&P Equal Weight Index during the six-month period, followed by utilities, consumer staples, health care and industrials. Energy prices continued to soar in 2007, supporting huge profits for many energy companies which in turn commanded significant investor attention for energy stocks. The worst performing sector was consumer discretionary, and the materials, technology, telecommunication services, and financials sectors all had negative returns for the period as well. Languishing consumer spending data and concerns about the overall financial health of the U.S. consumer led investors to rotate out of consumer discretionary stocks.
Other performance trends within the Fund and the Index during the period included the outperformance of stocks within the largest capitalization segments over those within the smaller-capitalization segments, as investors had a more favorable outlook for the larger, more established companies in an environment of slowing economic growth. Similarly, growth stocks bested value stocks because investors believed growth stocks had better earnings prospects in a slower-growing economy.
There is no guarantee that any sectors mentioned will continue to perform as discussed herein or that securities in such sectors will be held by the Fund in the future.

Investment Strategy
The Fund invests in a diversified portfolio of common stocks represented in the Standard & Poor’s® 500 Composite Stock Price Index (‘‘S&P 500’’). The S&P 500 is a well known stock market index that includes common stocks of 500 companies. The Fund generally invests in each stock included in the S&P 500 in approximately equal proportions. This approach differs from the S&P 500 because stocks in the S&P 500 are represented in proportion to their market value or market-capitalization. For example, the 50 largest companies in the S&P 500 represent approximately 50 percent of the S&P 500’s value; however, these same 50 companies represent roughly 10 percent of the Fund’s value. The Fund may invest in foreign securities represented in the S&P 500, including depositary receipts.

 | 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. For most recent month-end performance figures, please visit www.morganstanley.com/msim or speak with your Financial Advisor. Investment returns and principal value will fluctuate and fund shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. The table does not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on fund distributions or the redemption of fund shares. Performance for Class A, Class B, Class C, and Class D shares will vary due to differences in sales charges and expenses. |
 | * | The maximum front-end sales charge for Class A is 5.25%. |
 | ** | The maximum contingent deferred sales charge (CDSC) for Class B is 5.0%. The CDSC declines to 0% after six years. Effective April 2005, Class B shares automatically convert to Class A shares approximately eight years after the end of the calendar month in which the shares were purchased. Performance for periods greater than eight years reflects this conversion (beginning April 30, 2005). |
 | † | The maximum CDSC for Class C is 1.0% for shares redeemed within one year of purchase. |
 | †† | Class D has no sales charge. |
 | (1) | The Standard & Poor’s Equal Weight Index (S&P EWI) is the equally-weighted version of the widely regarded S&P 500® Index, which measures 500 leading companies in leading U.S. industries. The S&P EWI has the same constituents as the capitalization-weighted S&P 500® Index, but each company in the S&P EWI is allocated a fixed weight, rebalancing quarterly. The Index is unmanaged and its returns do not include any sales charges or fees. Such costs would lower performance. It is not possible to invest directly in an index. |
 | (2) | The Lipper Multi-Cap Core Funds Index is an equally weighted performance index of the largest qualifying funds (based on net assets) in the Lipper Multi-Cap Core Funds classification. The Index, which is adjusted for capital gains distributions and income dividends, is unmanaged and should not be considered an investment. There are currently 30 funds represented in this Index. The Fund is in the Lipper Multi-Cap Core Funds classification as of the date of this report. |
 | (3) | Figure shown assumes reinvestment of all distributions and does not reflect the deduction of any sales charges. |
 | (4) | Figure shown assumes reinvestment of all distributions and the deduction of the maximum applicable sales charge. See the Fund’s current prospectus for complete details on fees and sales charges. |

As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) on purchase payments and redemption fees; and (2) ongoing costs, including advisory fees; distribution and service (12b-1) fees; and other Fund expenses. This example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.
The example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period 07/01/07 – 12/31/07.
Actual Expenses
The first line of the table below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, 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 first line under the heading entitled ‘‘Expenses Paid During Period’’ to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.
Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes
The second line of the table below provides information about hypothetical expenses based on the Fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund’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 cost of investing in the Fund 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 the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs, such as sales charges (loads) and redemption fees. Therefore, the second line of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs, and will not help you determine the relative total cost of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

Morgan Stanley Equally-Weighted S&P 500 Fund
Notes to Financial Statements
December 31, 2007 (unaudited)
1. Organization and Accounting Policies
Morgan Stanley Equally-Weighted S&P 500 Fund (the ‘‘Fund’’) is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the ‘‘Act’’), as a diversified, open-end management investment company. The Fund’s investment objective is to achieve a high level of total return on its assets through a combination of capital appreciation and current income. The Fund was organized as a Massachusetts business trust on May 27, 1987 and commenced operations on December 1, 1987. On July 28, 1997, the Fund converted to a multiple class share structure.
The Fund offers Class A shares, Class B shares, Class C shares and Class D shares. The four classes are substantially the same except that most Class A shares are subject to a sales charge imposed at the time of purchase and some Class A shares, and most Class B shares and Class C shares are subject to a contingent deferred sales charge imposed on shares redeemed within eighteen months, six years and one year, respectively. Class D shares are not subject to a sales charge. Additionally, Class A shares, Class B shares and Class C shares incur distribution expenses.
The Fund will assess a 2% redemption fee, on Class A shares, Class B shares, Class C shares, and Class D shares, which is paid directly to the Fund, for shares redeemed or exchanged within seven days of purchase, subject to certain exceptions. The redemption fee is designed to protect the Fund and its remaining shareholders from the effects of short-term trading.
The following is a summary of significant accounting policies:
A. Valuation of Investments — (1) an equity portfolio security listed or traded on the New York Stock Exchange (‘‘NYSE’’) or American Stock Exchange or other exchange is valued at its latest sale price prior to the time when assets are valued; if there were no sales that day, the security is valued at the mean between the last reported bid and asked price; (2) an equity portfolio security listed or traded on the Nasdaq is valued at the Nasdaq Official Closing Price; if there were no sales that day, the security is valued at the mean between the last reported bid and asked price; (3) all other portfolio securities for which over-the-counter market quotations are readily available are valued at the mean between the last reported bid and asked price. In cases where a security is traded on more than one exchange, the security is valued on the exchange designated as t he primary market; (4) for equity securities traded on foreign exchanges, the last reported sale price or the latest bid price may be used if there were no sales on a particular day; (5) futures are valued at the latest price published by the commodities exchange on which they trade; (6) when market quotations are not readily available including circumstances under which Morgan Stanley Investment Advisors Inc. (the ‘‘Investment Adviser’’) determines that the latest sale price, the bid price or the mean between the last reported bid and asked price do not reflect a security’s market value, portfolio securities are valued at their fair value as determined in good faith under procedures established by and under the general supervision of the Fund’s Trustees. Occasionally, developments affecting the closing prices of securities and other assets
24
Morgan Stanley Equally-Weighted S&P 500 Fund
Notes to Financial Statements
December 31, 2007 (unaudited) continued
may occur between the times at which valuations of such securities are determined (that is, close of the foreign market on which the securities trade) and the close of business on the NYSE. If developments occur during such periods that are expected to materially affect the value of such securities, such valuations may be adjusted to reflect the estimated fair value of such securities as of the close of the NYSE, as determined in good faith by the Fund’s Trustees or by the Investment Adviser using a pricing service and/or procedures approved by the Trustees of the Fund; (8) investments in open-end mutual funds, including the Morgan Stanley Institutional Liquidity Funds, are valued at the net asset value as of the close of each business day; and (9) short-term debt securities having a maturity date of more than sixty days at time of purchase are valued on a mark-to-market basis until sixty days prior to maturity and thereafter at amortized cost based on their value on the 61st day. Short-term debt secu rities having a maturity date of sixty days or less at the time of purchase are valued at amortized cost.
B. Accounting for Investments — Security transactions are accounted for on the trade date (date the order to buy or sell is executed). Realized gains and losses on security transactions are determined by the identified cost method. Dividend income and other distributions are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Discounts are accreted and premiums are amortized over the life of the respective securities and are included in interest income. Interest income is accrued daily.
C. Multiple Class Allocations — Investment income, expenses (other than distribution fees), and realized and unrealized gains and losses are allocated to each class of shares based upon the relative net asset value on the date such items are recognized. Distribution fees are charged directly to the respective class.
D. Futures Contract — A futures contract is an agreement between two parties to buy and sell financial instruments or contracts based on financial indices at a price on a future date. Upon entering into such a contract, the Fund is required to pledge to the broker cash, U.S. Government securities or other liquid portfolio securities equal to the minimum initial margin requirements of the applicable futures exchange. Pursuant to the contract, the Fund agrees to receive from or pay to the broker an amount of cash equal to the daily fluctuation in the value of the contract. Such receipts or payments known as variation margin are recorded by the fund as unrealized gains and losses. Upon closing of the contract, the Fund realizes a gain or loss equal to the difference between the value of the contract at the time it was opened and the value at the time it was closed.
E. Federal Income Tax Policy — It is the Fund’s policy to comply with the requirements of Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code applicable to regulated investment companies and to distribute substantially all of its taxable income to its shareholders. Therefore, no provision for federal income taxes is required. The Fund files tax returns with the U.S. Internal Revenue Service and New York. The Fund adopted the provisions of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (‘‘FASB’’) Interpretation No. 48 (‘‘FIN 48’’) Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes on June 29, 2007. FIN 48 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. The implementation of FIN 48 did
25
Morgan Stanley Equally-Weighted S&P 500 Fund
Notes to Financial Statements
December 31, 2007 (unaudited) continued
not result in any unrecognized tax benefits in the accompanying financial statements. If applicable, the Fund recognizes interest accrued related to unrecognized tax benefits in interest expense and penalties in other expenses in the Statement of Operations. Each of the tax years in the four year period ended December 31, 2007, remains subject to examination by taxing authorities.
F. Dividends and Distributions to Shareholders — Dividends and distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date.
G. Use of Estimates — The preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts and disclosures. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
2. Investment Advisory/Administration Agreements
Pursuant to an Investment Advisory Agreement, the Fund pays the Investment Adviser an advisory fee, accrued daily and payable monthly, by applying the annual rates to the net asset of the Fund determined as of the close of each business day: 0.12% to the portion of the daily net assets not exceeding $2 billion and 0.10% to the portion of the daily net assets in excess of $2 billion.
Pursuant to an Administration Agreement with Morgan Stanley Services Company Inc. (the ‘‘Administrator’’), an affiliate of the Investment Adviser, the Fund pays an administration fee, accrued daily and payable monthly, by applying the annual rate of 0.08% to the Fund’s daily net assets.
Under an 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.
3. Plan of Distribution
Shares of the Fund are distributed by Morgan Stanley Distributors Inc. (the ‘‘Distributor’’), an affiliate of the Investment Adviser and Administrator. The Fund has adopted a Plan of Distribution (the ‘‘Plan’’) pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the Act. The Plan provides that the Fund will pay the Distributor a fee which is accrued daily and paid monthly at the following annual rates: (i) Class A − up to 0.25% of the average daily net assets of Class A shares; (ii) Class B − up to 1.0% of the average daily net assets of Class B shares; and (iii) Class C − up to 1.0% of the average daily net assets of Class C shares.
In the case of Class B shares, provided that the Plan continues in effect, any cumulative expenses incurred by the Distributor but not yet recovered may be recovered through the payment of future distribution fees from the Fund pursuant to the Plan and contingent deferred sales charges paid by investors upon redemption of Class B shares. Although there is no legal obligation for the Fund to pay expenses incurred in excess of payments made to the Distributor under the Plan and the proceeds of contingent deferred sales charges paid
26

Notes to Financial Statements
December 31, 2007 (unaudited) continued
by investors upon redemption of shares, if for any reason the Plan is terminated, the Trustees will consider at that time the manner in which to treat such expenses. The Distributor has advised the Fund that such excess amounts totaled $40,951,323 at December 31, 2007.
In the case of Class A shares and Class C shares, expenses incurred pursuant to the Plan in any calendar year in excess of 0.25% or 1.0% of the average daily net assets of Class A or Class C, respectively, will not be reimbursed by the Fund through payments in any subsequent year, except that expenses representing a gross sales credit to Morgan Stanley Financial Advisors and other authorized financial representatives at the time of sale may be reimbursed in the subsequent calendar year. For the six months ended December 31, 2007, the distribution fee was accrued for Class A shares and Class C shares at the annual rate of 0.25% and 1.0%, respectively.
The Distributor has informed the Fund that for the six months ended December 31, 2007, it received contingent deferred sales charges from certain redemptions of the Fund’s Class A shares, Class B shares and Class C shares of $532, $326,437 and $6,686, respectively and received $212,698 in front-end sales charges from sales of the Fund’s Class A shares. The respective shareholders pay such charges which are not an expense of the Fund.
4. Security Transactions and Transactions with Affiliates
The Fund invests in Morgan Stanley Institutional Liquidity Money Market Portfolio − Institutional Class, an open-end management investment company managed by the Investment Adviser. Advisory fees paid by the Fund are reduced by an amount equal to the advisory and administrative services fees paid by Morgan Stanley Institutional Liquidity Money Market Portfolio − Institutional Class with respect to assets invested by the Fund in Morgan Stanley Institutional Liquidity Money Market Portfolio − Institutional Class. For the six months ended December 31, 2007, advisory fees paid were reduced by $12,715 relating to the Fund’s investment in Morgan Stanley Institutional Liquidity Money Market Portfolio − Institutional Class. Income distributions earned by the Fund are recorded as dividends from affiliate in the Statement of Operations and totaled $668,244 for the six months ended December 31, 2007. During the six months ended December 31, 2007, cost of purchases and sales of investments in Morgan Stanley Institutional Liquidity Money Market Portfolio − Institutional Class aggregated $219,886,340 and $208,484,946, respectively.
The cost of purchases and proceeds from sales of portfolio securities, excluding short-term investments, for the six months ended December 31, 2007 aggregated $284,424,557 and $428,140,940, respectively. Included in the aforementioned are purchases and sales of Morgan Stanley common stock, an affiliate of the Investment Adviser, Administrator and Distributor, of $1,345,845 and $39,027, respectively, including net realized losses of $5,069.
Morgan Stanley Trust, an affiliate of the Investment Adviser, Administrator and Distributor, is the Fund’s transfer agent.

December 31, 2007 (unaudited) continued
The Fund has an unfunded noncontributory defined benefit pension plan covering certain independent Trustees of the Fund who will have served as independent Trustees for at least five years at the time of retirement. Benefits under this plan are based on factors which include years of service and compensation. The Trustees voted to close the plan to new participants and eliminate the future benefits growth due to increases to compensation after July 31, 2003. Aggregate pension costs for the six months ended December 31, 2007, included in Trustees’ fees and expenses in the Statement of Operations amounted to $3,991. At December 31, 2007, the Fund had an accrued pension liability of $73,534 which is included in accrue d expenses in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities.
The Fund has an unfunded Deferred Compensation Plan (the ‘‘Compensation Plan’’) which allows each independent Trustee to defer payment of all, or a portion, of the fees he or she receives for serving on the Board of Trustees. Each eligible Trustee generally may elect to have the deferred amounts credited with a return equal to the total return on one or more of the Morgan Stanley funds that are offered as investment options under the Compensation Plan. Appreciation/depreciation and distributions received from these investments are recorded with an offsetting increase/decrease in the deferred compensation obligation and do not affect the net asset value of the Fund.
5. Federal Income Tax Status
The amount of dividends and distributions from net investment income and net realized capital gains are determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations which may differ from generally accepted accounting principles. These ‘‘book/tax’’ differences are either considered temporary or permanent in nature. To the extent these differences are permanent in nature, such amounts are reclassified within the capital accounts based on their federal tax-basis treatment; temporary differences do not require reclassification. Dividends and distributions which exceed net investment income and net realized capital gains for tax purposes are reported as distributions of paid-in-capital.
As of June 30, 2007, the Fund had temporary book/tax differences primarily attributable to capital loss deferrals on wash sales, mark-to-market of open futures contracts and tax adjustments on real estate investment trust (‘‘REIT’’) held by the Fund.

7. Expense Offset
The expense offset represents a reduction of the fees and expenses for interest earned on cash balances maintained by the Fund with the transfer agent.
8. Purposes of and Risks Relating to Certain Financial Instruments
The Fund may purchase and sell stock index futures (‘‘futures contracts’’) for the following reasons: to simulate full investment in the S&P 500 Index while retaining a cash balance for fund management purposes;
29
Morgan Stanley Equally-Weighted S&P 500 Fund
Notes to Financial Statements
December 31, 2007 (unaudited) continued
to facilitate trading; to reduce transaction costs; or to seek higher investment returns when a futures contract is priced more attractively than stocks comprising the S&P 500 Index.
These futures contracts involve elements of market risk in excess of the amount reflected in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. The Fund bears the risk of an unfavorable change in the value of the underlying securities. Risks may also arise upon entering into these contracts from the potential inability of the counterparties to meet the terms of their contracts.
9. Accounting Pronouncement
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. Management is currently evaluating the impact the adoption of SFAS 157 will have on the Fund’s financial statement disclosures.
