Expense Examples

Expense Examples

As a shareholder of a Portfolio, you may incur two types of costs: (1) transactional costs, including redemptions fees, and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees, shareholder servicing and distribution fees (in the case of Class P, Class H and Class L) and other Portfolio expenses. These examples are intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in a 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 December 31, 2009 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 the 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 the Portfolio and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.

Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs, such as redemption fees. Therefore, the second line of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher. Expenses are calculated using each Fund’s annualized expense ratio (as disclosed), multiplied by the average account value over the period, and multiplied by 184/365(to reflect the most recent one-half year period).

2009 Annual Report

December 31, 2009 (unaudited)

Investment Overview

Active International Allocation Portfolio

The Active International Allocation Portfolio (the “Portfolio”) seeks long-term capital appreciation by investing primarily, in accordance with country and sector weightings determined by the Adviser, in equity securities of non-U.S. issuers which, in the aggregate, replicate broad market indices.

Foreign investing involves certain risks, including currency fluctuations and controls, restrictions on foreign investments, less governmental supervision and regulation, less liquidity and the potential for market volatility and political instability. The risks of investing in emerging-market countries are greater than the risks generally associated with foreign investments.

Performance

For the year ended December 31, 2009, the Portfolio had a total return based on net asset value and reinvestment of distributions per share of 27.26%, net of fees, for Class I shares. The Portfolio’s Class I shares underperformed against its benchmark, the Morgan Stanley Capital International (MSCI) EAFE Index (the “Index”) which returned 31.78%.

Factors Affecting Performance

·For the full year 2009, international equities, as measured by the MSCI EAFE Index, rose 32%. Regionally, emerging markets performed best, up 79%, followed by Asia ex-Japan with a 73% gain, Europe up 36%, U.S. up 26%, and Japan (again last) up 6%. Within the MSCI EAFE Index, the materials sector led, with a gain of 69%. Financials and consumer discretionary were up 38% each, followed by energy up 34%, consumer staples and industrials up 31%, information technology up 22%, health care and telecommunications services up 16%, and utilities up 4%. Full-year currency returns were fairly muted (Japanese yen was down 3% and the euro up 3%), with the exception of the British pound sterling which rose 12%, following its almost 30% decline in 2008.

·For the year, the Portfolio lagged the MSCI EAFE Index. The year 2009 consisted of two very distinct periods in terms of performance. Equities plummeted through mid-March, then rallied strongly through mid-May, continuing to advance through year-end. From a macro perspective, the Portfolio was generally well positioned during the year. We were defensive up to the market bottom in mid-March, but then moved quickly off the bottom, to be fully invested. We added to cyclical positions, and more gradually added to emerging markets exposure. Belatedly, we added financials, and our cautiousness was the one of the Portfolio’s biggest performance drags. Uncertain as to government policies regarding the equity shareholders of financial firms in the U.S. and Europe, we remained underweight banks. In the end, governments did not charge equity shareholders excessively for granting financial firms liquidity, insurance, and capital. Underweights to the U.K. and Australia also detracted from Portfolio returns.

Management Strategies

·Moving into the first weeks of 2010, overall global economic growth momentum looks solid, due to an almost unprecedented surge in fourth quarter 2009 global manufacturing output. After some stuttering in November, Purchasing Manager Indices (PMIs) for December — key leading economic indicators — moved higher across Europe, the U.S., Japan, China and India. JP Morgan’s Global PMI Output and Orders indices each rose above 58 (booming levels) and China’s export growth returned to positive territory in December, the first time in 14 months. Sources of weakness linger (e.g. U.S. jobs, European consumer spending) and future liabilities loom (bank commercial loans, state budgets and residential housing); that said, fourth quarter earnings (and first quarter 2010 jobs) are expected to benefit from the economic improvement. Fears of a double dip have been pushed back further into the New Year.

·That is the good news, but, “Be careful what you wish for.” The economic improvement brought with it a sharp rise in bond yields during December. U.S. Treasury yields rose 60 basis points on the 10-year (3.2% to 3.8%) and 40 basis points on the two-year (0.67% to 1.1%). The Chinese raised their three-month central bank bill rate in early January (admittedly only 4 basis points) — and oil and gasoline prices moved higher. Once the global ship is deemed stable, the Federal Reserve will be under tremendous pressure to reduce liquidity. Bears growl about another bubble in equities, and regulators warn against complacency and returning to dangerous old habits. A fair amount of government fiscal stimulus remains in the system through the first half of 2010 — but in pretty short

order the equity market backdrop will be how, where and when will interest rates rise and government liquidity/stimulus be removed.

·Perhaps we are complacent, but we believe that there is enough economic growth to allow the market to grind higher, even as quantitative easing by the Fed and European Central Bank is gradually removed. The strength of the rise in global manufacturing output should have a positive effect on job growth and business and household sentiment. We think equity valuations are neither cheap nor expensive. Based on 12-month forward earnings, equity valuations are a bit above long-term averages in the U.S., but remain cheap in Japan and in most of Europe. The emerging markets have moved above fair value, but based on five-year normalized earnings they appear to have further upside, and there is valuation differential between the countries (i.e., Brazil, India and Indonesia look expensive, while China, Russia and more defensive markets look relatively cheap). Our readings of investor sentiment are generally on the high side; but not excessive. We think equities have some valuation support relative to bonds, and looking at most indicators, equities are underowned. We see it is a good sign that equities have been treading water as bond yields have risen. However, history would tell us that as the Fed gets closer to explicitly tightening, equities tend to sell off 10-15%. Then, if the economy continues to do well, equities tend to rise along with bond yields. The uncertainty as to when the market begins to discount a Fed tightening, and what the duration and quality of the economic cycle will be, makes 2010 a difficult year to predict.

·The tightening of liquidity that we foresee in 2010 will have varying impact by country and sector. We currently are maintaining our cyclical bias, but as we move through time from the end of the recession to the fullness of what could be either a strong or a weak and foreshortened recovery — we may need to rotate to more defensive sectors, such as quality growth. Our sector valuation work on price-to-book and forward price-to-earnings ratios highlights that financials, pharmaceuticals, and food retailing are cheap; materials, technology, and consumer services are expensive. Capital goods and food, beverage, and tobacco look a bit pricey in Europe, less so in the U.S. Japanese banks have bounced off the bottom — and we have added to them. We are intrigued by Japan’s cheap valuations relative to history, the recent weakening of the yen, the beginning of a rise in industrial production, and the potential loosening of fiscal and monetary policy. Because we have been burned many times by Japan in the past, we are cautiously underweight, but watchful.

Investment Overview (cont’d)

Active International Allocation Portfolio

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 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 return and principal value will fluctuate so that Portfolio shares, when redeemed, may 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. Performance of share classes will vary due to difference in expenses.

(1)	The Morgan Stanley Capital International (MSCI) EAFE Index (Europe, Australasia, Far East) is a free float-adjusted market capitalization index that is designed to measure the international equity market performance of developed markets, excluding the US & Canada. The term “free float” represents the portion of shares outstanding that are deemed to be available for purchase in the public equity markets by investors. The MSCI EAFE Index currently consists of 21 developed market country indices. The performance of the Index is listed in U.S. dollars and assumes reinvestment of net dividends. 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 International Large-Cap Core Funds Index is an equally weighted performance index of the largest qualifying funds (based on net assets) in the Lipper International Large-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. As of the date of this report, the Portfolio is in the Lipper International Large-Cap Core Funds classification.
(3)	Total returns for the Portfolio reflect fees waived and expenses reimbursed, if applicable, by the Adviser. Without such waivers and reimbursements, total returns would have been lower. Fee waivers and/or expense reimbursements are voluntary and the Adviser reserves the right to commence or terminate any waiver and/or reimbursement at any time.
(4)	Commenced operations on January 17, 1992.
(5)	Commenced operations on January 2, 1996.
(6)	For comparative purposes, average annual since inception returns listed for the Indexes refer to the inception date or initial offering of the respective share class of the Portfolio, not the inception of the Index.

2009 Annual Report

Investment Overview

Emerging Markets Portfolio

The Emerging Markets Portfolio (the “Portfolio”) seeks long-term capital appreciation by investing primarily in growth-oriented equity securities of issuers in emerging market countries. Foreign investing involves certain risks, including currency fluctuations and controls, restrictions on foreign investments, less governmental supervision and regulation, less liquidity and the potential for market volatility and political instability. In addition, investing in emerging markets may involve a relative higher degree of volatility.

Performance

For the year ended December 31, 2009, the Portfolio had a total return based on net asset value and reinvestment of distributions per share of 69.54%, net of fees, for the Class I shares. The Portfolio’s Class I shares underperformed against its benchmark the Morgan Stanley Capital International (MSCI) Emerging Markets Net Index (the “Index”) which returned 78.51%.

Factors Affecting Performance

·In 2009 emerging markets equities rebounded from an unprecedented collapse in global financial markets and significant declines in economic activity. The asset class, as measured by the MSCI Emerging Markets Index, posted a 78.5% return for the year and outperformed the developed markets (as measured by the MSCI World Index) by 48.5 percentage points. A healthy banking system across several emerging market countries, strong corporate and government balance sheets, a low interest rate environment, strong current account and fiscal balances, and positive economic momentum from China helped boost commodity prices and equity performance in all regions. The materials, energy, technology and consumer discretionary sectors led the emerging market recovery. On a regional basis, Latin America was the top performer, outperforming the MSCI Emerging Markets Index, followed by Asia and the Europe, Middle East and Africa (EMEA) region, both of which underperformed the Index.

·The Portfolio’s relative performance was driven by positive contributions from an overweight allocation to Indonesia and stock selection there.

·Underweight allocations to Malaysia and Morocco relative to the Index also benefited performance.

·Stock selection in South Africa, Russia, and Turkey were additive to performance.

·Relative gains also came from an overweight to the consumer discretionary sector.

·However, an overweight allocation to Poland and stock selection there detracted from performance.

·Underweight allocations to Brazil and Taiwan hurt performance.

·Additionally, relative performance was held back by stock selection in India.

·Underweight allocations to the energy and materials sectors also dampened relative performance.

Management Strategies

·Extremely high correlations are a symptom of a global boom-bust environment. Correlations between different economies and various financial asset classes that peaked at the height of the financial turmoil in the autumn of 2008 have fallen and we believe will continue to trend lower from here. We expect differentiation among markets based on local factors will matter once more. Within emerging markets, more capital will likely flow to countries that have shown greater resilience on a fundamental basis. Among sectors, materials and energy will likely remain tied to the global macro environment, but consumer stocks with exposure to emerging markets should show steady growth given the relatively low consumer leverage in many developing countries. There is a risk that rising inflation in emerging markets will result in central bank tightening in many countries. Therefore, we continue to position the Portfolio in names that we believe may perform well in stable and weaker market conditions. In particular, we look to decrease the overweight to financials and increase positions in sectors such as consumer staples and telecommunications.

*Minimum Investment

In accordance with SEC regulations, Portfolio’s performance shown assumes that all recurring fees (including management fees) were deducted and all dividends and distributions were reinvested. The performance of Class P shares will vary from the Class I shares based upon its different inception date and will be negatively impacted by additional fees assessed to that class.

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 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 return and principal value will fluctuate so that Portfolio shares, when redeemed, may 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. Performance of share classes will vary due to difference in expenses.

(1)The Morgan Stanley Capital International (MSCI) Emerging Markets Index is a free float-adjusted market capitalization weighted index that is designed to measure equity market performance of emerging markets. The term “free float” represents the portion of shares outstanding that are deemed to be available for purchase in the public equity markets by investors. The MSCI Emerging Markets Index currently consists of 22 emerging market country indices. The performance of the Index is listed in U.S. dollars and assumes reinvestment of net dividends. 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 Emerging Markets Funds Index is an equally weighted performance index of the largest qualifying funds (based on net assets) in the Lipper Emerging Markets 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. As of the date of this report, the Portfolio is in the Lipper Emerging Markets Funds classification.

(3)Total returns for the Portfolio reflect fees waived and expenses reimbursed, if applicable, by the Adviser. Without such waivers and reimbursements, total returns would have been lower. Fee waivers and/or expense reimbursements are voluntary and the Adviser reserves the right to commence or terminate any waiver and/or reimbursement at any time.

(4)Commenced operations on September 25, 1992.

(5)Commenced operations on January 2, 1996.

(6)For comparative purposes, average annual since inception returns listed for the Indexes refer to the inception date or initial offering of the respective share class of the Portfolio, not the inception of the Index.

Investment Overview

Global Franchise Portfolio

The Global Franchise Portfolio (the “Portfolio”) seeks long-term capital appreciation by investing primarily in equity securities of issuers located throughout the world, that it believes have, among other things, resilient business franchises and growth potential. This Portfolio’s concentration of its assets in a smaller number of companies may subject it to greater investment risk than a portfolio with a larger number of companies. Foreign investing involves certain risks, including currency fluctuations and controls, restrictions on foreign investments, less governmental supervision and regulation, less liquidity and the potential for market volatility and political instability.

Performance

For the year ended December 31, 2009, the Portfolio had a total return based on net asset value and reinvestment of distributions per share of 29.65%, net of fees, for the Class I shares. The Portfolio’s Class shares underperformed against its benchmark the Morgan Stanley Capital International (MSCI) World Index (the “Index”) which returned 29.99%.

Factors Affecting Performance

·Equity investors experienced a bit of a roller coaster ride as most global markets hit new lows in March and then rebounded substantially, with the MSCI World Index returning 30% for the year. Since March, the preference of the market has been for leveraged balance sheets, leveraged profit structures and cyclical (that is, economically sensitive) sectors. The market’s preference suggests that the worst of the recession is past and economic activity is returning to normal.

·The Portfolio outperformed the Index in the first quarter as cyclicals, particularly financials and materials, continued to be downgraded for most of the quarter, and the Portfolio benefited from underweight allocations to these sectors. However, market conditions shifted dramatically in mid-March as massive government stimulus packages, incentive programs and monetary easing rekindled the market’s appetite for risk. The Portfolio underperformed the next two quarters as cyclical sectors — particularly banks, industrials and materials — soared with confidence that financial Armageddon had been avoided. The fourth quarter saw a bit of a pullback in financials as investors started questioning the adequacy of banks’ tier 1 capital ratios and the possibility of a more stringent regulatory environment. The Portfolio outperformed as financials sold off to the benefit of defensive sectors such as consumer staples, the Portfolio’s largest sector weighting.

·For the period overall, the Portfolio’s underweights in the market’s weakest sectors (utilities and telecommunications), along with good stock selection decisions in consumer staples and industrials, were beneficial to relative returns. This positioning allowed the Portfolio to perform largely in line with the Index for the period.

·The Portfolio’s overweight allocation to consumer staples and the underweight to the strong performing technology sector detracted from performance on a relative basis for the 12-month period.

·Positive contributors to performance during the period were Swedish Match, Harley-Davidson and British American Tobacco.

·The largest detractors were Kao Corp., Pernod Ricard and Brown-Forman.

Management Strategies

·During the year, we sold out of Harley-Davidson and C&C Group. We reduced positions in Starbucks and eBay on the back of concerns of franchise erosion. We initiated a position in Dr. Pepper Snapple Group and added to positions in Reckitt Benckiser and Procter & Gamble.

·We do not attempt to predict from a macro perspective the direction of the markets. Our focus remains on the Global Franchise philosophy of seeking exceptional quality at compelling value.

·We continue to seek investment opportunities in companies with strong business franchises protected by a dominant intangible asset. Additionally, we demand sound management, substantial free cash flow and growth potential. We invest in these high quality companies only when we can identify compelling value as measured by a current free cash flow yield in excess of the risk-free bond yield. We seek to deliver attractive returns while minimizing business and valuation risk. Our goal is for the Portfolio to outperform broadly-based benchmarks over the long term with less than average volatility.

Performance of share classes will vary due to difference in expenses.

(1)    The Morgan Stanley Capital International (MSCI) World Index is a free float- adjusted market capitalization weighted index that is designed to measure the global equity market performance of developed markets. The term “free float” represents the portion of shares outstanding that are deemed to be available for purchase in the public equity markets by investors. The MSCI World Index currently consists of 23 developed market country indices. The performance of the Index is listed in U.S. dollars and assumes reinvestment of net dividends. 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 Global Multi-Cap Growth Funds Index is an equally weighted performance index of the largest qualifying funds (based on net assets) in the Lipper Global Multi-Cap Growth 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 10 funds represented in this Index. As of the date of this report, the Portfolio is in the Lipper Global Multi-Cap Growth Funds classification.

Investment Overview

Global Real Estate Portfolio

The Global Real Estate Portfolio (the “Portfolio”) seeks to provide current income and capital appreciation by investing primarily in equity securities of companies in the real estate industry located throughout the world, including real estate operating companies, real estate investment trusts and similar entities established outside the U.S. (foreign real estate companies). Foreign investing involves certain risks, including currency fluctuations and controls, restrictions on foreign investments, less governmental supervision and regulation, less liquidity and the potential for market volatility and political instability. The risks of investing in emerging-market countries are greater than the risks generally associated with foreign investments. In addition to the general risks associated with real-estate investment, REIT investing entails other risks, such as credit and interest-rate risk.

Performance

For the year ended December 31, 2009, the Portfolio had a total return based on net asset value and reinvestment of distributions per share of 41.04% for the Class I shares, net of fees. The Portfolio’s Class I shares outperformed against its benchmarks, the FTSE EPRA/NAREIT Developed Real Estate Index — Net Total Return to U.S. Investors (the “Index”) which returned 37.89% and the MSCI World Index which returned 29.99%.

Factors Affecting Performance

·The global real estate securities market gained 37.9% in the 12-month period ending December 31, 2009, as measured by the FTSE EPRA/NAREIT Developed Real Estate Index — Net Total Return to U.S. Investors, but the stocks have still experienced significant declines from peak levels.

·North American, European and Asian real estate securities posted large declines through mid-March, as share prices appeared to be impacted by negative investor sentiment in response to a continuation of weak economic data and the deterioration of the credit markets. Subsequently, the sector rallied significantly on the back of an improved outlook for the global economy, the strong rally in the broader equity and debt markets, overall improvements in capital market conditions, and the significant volume of successful public real estate company equity offerings which allowed the companies to delever their balance sheets and address upcoming debt maturities.

·Significant outperformance within each of the regional sub-portfolios contributed to relative returns, while allocation among the regional sub-portfolios and cash held detracted from relative returns.

·In Asia, the Portfolio benefited from stock selection within and the overweight to Hong Kong, an underweight to Australia, and stock selection in Japan and Singapore. The benefits of those positions were partially offset by the impact of an underweight to Singapore.

·In Europe, the Portfolio benefited from stock selection in the U.K. and an underweight to Belgium, though was modestly offset by stock selection in France.

·In the U.S., the Portfolio benefited from stock selection within and an overweight to the hotel and mall sectors and stock selection in the apartment, office and diversified sectors. This was partially offset by stock selection in the health care sector.

Management Strategies

·The Portfolio is comprised of three regional sub-portfolios with a global allocation, which weights each of the three major regions (U.S., Europe and Asia) based on our view of the relative attractiveness of each region in terms of underlying real estate fundamentals and public market valuations. Moreover, each of the regional sub-portfolios reflects our core investment philosophy as a real estate value investor, which results in the ownership of stocks that we believe provide the best valuation relative to their underlying real estate values, while maintaining portfolio diversification.

·Our company-specific research leads us to specific preferences for sub-segments within each of the property sectors and countries. For the period ending December 31, 2009, the Portfolio was overweight the Asian listed property sector and underweight the U.S. and European listed property sectors.

·Within Asia, we expect underlying property fundamentals and asset values in key markets within Japan and Hong Kong to remain relatively more stable than other markets given relatively low vacancy and limited new supply over the next few years. The overweight to the Asian region was

Investment Overview (cont’d)

Global Real Estate Portfolio

predominated by real estate operating companies (REOCs) in Japan and Hong Kong. The Hong Kong REOCs posted significant gains and outperformed, ending the period trading at a narrow discount to the net asset values (NAVs) of their underlying property, which may be poised for growth given prospects for a recovery in rents and asset values. The Japanese REOCs underperformed, only posting modest gains and continue to trade at a wide discount to their NAVs, despite better than expected prime office market fundamentals. We continue to maintain a preference for the major REOCs with predominant exposure to prime assets given what we believe are their relatively more favorable property fundamentals, the ability to engage in value-added opportunities such as development and redevelopment, well-positioned balance sheets and continued access to financing. This contrasts widely to the Asian REITs, which are passive, externally managed vehicles limited to property ownership, many of which are capital constrained with more limited access to financing and maintain predominant exposure to secondary assets. The Portfolio was underweight the Australian limited property trust (LPT) sector, which trades at a wide premium to NAVs.

·In Europe, the Portfolio ended the year overweight the U.K., France and Italy and underweight the remainder of the Continent. Valuations on the Continent ended the period at par to NAV (based on reported NAVs, which reflect only marginal capital value declines since the start of the credit crisis due to limited transactional evidence thus far); however NAVs are generally expected to decline further in most markets. Valuations in the U.K. ended the year at an average 8% premium to reported NAVs, which have started to show positive growth after declining by a cumulative 57% since June 2007.

·The Portfolio was underweight the U.S., which trades at a premium to downward adjusted NAVs. There continues to be a lack of clarity in underlying asset values due to the stagnant investment market, driven by the wide bid-ask spreads for real estate assets. Within the U.S., the Portfolio was overweight to companies that are focused in the ownership of apartment properties and upscale urban hotels and underweight to companies concentrated in the ownership of industrial assets.

·In contrast to the relatively more stable outlook for underlying property valuations in Asia, and emerging evidence of capital value improvements in the U.K., in the U.S. and Continental Europe, there are expectations for further weakness in underlying property fundamentals and asset values. However, a key question remains the magnitude of prospective asset value declines from peak levels since transactional evidence continues to be limited in most markets due to the wide bid-ask spread between buyers and sellers. It is notable that given the improvements in the capital markets and the significant amount of equity issued by the public companies to improve their balance sheets, a debate has emerged as to whether the magnitude of asset value declines will be less than previously expected. In some sub-segments of these markets, we believe current share price valuations already reflect the prospective weakening in underlying fundamentals and asset values. In the short term, share prices may experience incremental weakness, but we believe that expected returns over the medium and long-term are compelling given the current pricing for many of the companies provides an entry point that already reflects downside risks.

2009 Annual Report

December 31, 2009 (unaudited)

Investment Overview

International Equity Portfolio

The International Equity Portfolio (the “Portfolio”) seeks long-term capital appreciation by investing primarily in equity securities of non-U.S. issuers. Foreign investing involves certain risks, including currency fluctuations and controls, restrictions on foreign investments, less governmental supervision and regulation, less liquidity and the potential for market volatility and political instability. The risks of investing in emerging-market countries are greater than the risks generally associated with foreign investments.

Performance

For the year ended December 31, 2009, the Portfolio had a total return based on net asset value and reinvestment of distributions per share of 21.56% net of fees, for Class I shares. The Portfolio’s Class I shares underperformed against its benchmark, the Morgan Stanley Capital International (MSCI) EAFE Index (the “Index”) which returned 31.78%.

Factors Affecting Performance

·A central theme of dollar weakness against most currencies magnified the 24.7% local return of the MSCI EAFE Index (the “Index”) to a barnstorming 31.8% increase for the year in U.S. dollar terms.

·The standout winning countries for the year were the commodity-based countries: Australia (up 76.4% in U.S. dollar terms) and the Nordic countries (up 47.1%). The MSCI Emerging Markets Index even managed to top those countries, up 78.5%. The Euro bloc slightly underperformed (up 31.0%), weighed down somewhat by Ireland (up 12.3%), Greece and Germany (both up 25.1%). Despite its somewhat rickety economy, the U.K. managed to close the year up 43.3%. Japan put in the worst performance, up only 6.3% for the year.

·The relative underperformance of the Portfolio for the year generally reflects a bias towards higher quality in what has been an enormous lower quality beta rally. More specifically, the largest contributor to underperformance was our positioning in financials, where we were squeezed both ways from being overweight moribund Japanese financials and underweight rocketing Anglo-Saxon financials. Cash also detracted from performance, particularly during the spectacular rally from March through September. These more than offset positive contributions from stock selection in industrials and utilities, as well as stock selection and an overweight in materials.

Management Strategies

·The key question for 2010 is that of the normalcy of the recovery seen in the over-indebted Anglo-Saxon economies (especially the U.S.) following massive intervention by governments and central banks to avoid systemic collapse.

·Based on our usual yardstick of valuation, the market clearly believes that such Western economies will see a fairly normal cyclical recovery and has rated stocks accordingly, particularly banks, industrials and certain materials stocks. A normal cyclical recovery in the U.S. would generally involve a recovery in consumer and investment (i.e., capital expenditure) demand, re-leveraging and consequent tightening of monetary policy as the early signs of inflation start to pick up. While we would concede that a recovery in investment spending from current deeply depressed levels is probably overdue, this in itself is not enough to sustainably power the U.S. economy given its still very significant reliance on consumer expenditure as a percent of GDP. It is worth remembering that consumption as a whole has only fallen slightly in real terms over the last year or so, and that personal disposable income is at an all-time high as a percent of GDP. The drop of U.S. GDP over the last year has been primarily driven by a sharp decline in investment and the shrinking trade deficit, not a humiliated consumer. Also worth noting is the U.S. government’s net personal income tax take from GDP has fallen to all-time lows (6% of GDP versus around 13% historically).

·The evidence still suggests a backdrop of deleveraging and sluggish personal income growth, which indicates a difficult consumer backdrop for a probably extended period. If this remains the case going forward (as we believe it will), the U.S. faces a long period of sluggish top-line growth and, consequently, low interest rates for some time to come.

·From a valuation standpoint, we are not overwhelmed by the galaxy of opportunities on offer. In broad terms, we are concerned that the principal areas of potential danger are banks and industrials. For banks, we still do not find them generally attractive following their massive rebound from the abyss, believing that the market continues to overvalue future potential return on equity. The

Investment Overview (cont’d)

only large-scale pocket of potential value we see at the moment remains Japanese banks, although to date they have behaved precisely like value traps, not withstanding a recent bounce. We have very selectively added to certain Western banks and insurance companies where we believe risks appear less potentially hair-raising than they had been in the middle of the financial meltdown.

·Industrials, particularly European industrials, appear to be priced for perfection. They have clearly done a better job than we expected preserving margins by heroic cost cutting but now seem to be valued based on earnings revisions driven by resurgent top lines, which we consider highly unlikely. We think this sector will face an overdue appointment with reality in 2010 as the market takes on board low-capacity utilization around the world in most industries, following generally record levels of investment by corporates and governments in the last five years. This should become evident in a margin shock as finite cost cutting potential meets a sluggish top line.

·In our view, the principal areas of interest from a valuation standpoint are high quality and Japan. Getting both sides of this right — avoiding the implosions and riding the upward horses — will be critical for performance in 2010.

·Japan — as usual — gives good reason as to why it basks in the (low) esteem it currently enjoys in the eyes of foreign investors. We have decidedly mixed feelings about Japan, but we like the historically low valuation levels as a starting point and continue to look for the opportunity to buy some good companies cheaply.

·We also notice the recent pick-up in the Japanese lead indicator, which may focus the attention of predominantly departed foreign investors that there is life yet stirring in the Japanese undergrowth.

·We continue to like consumer staples and high quality companies generally, which look very undervalued against 10-year bond yields (particularly if interest rates do indeed remain low for much longer than most expect), and those companies that are in fairly low risk businesses in somewhat shark-infested economic waters.

·Clearly, 2009 was not an ideal backdrop to be running a lower beta, risk averse portfolio, with two back-to-back quarters fueling one of the biggest beta rallies ever. However, we think there is generally good absolute and relative value in the Portfolio which we believe should do well if our assessment of a potentially more challenging 2010 turns out to be correct.

Performance of share classes will vary due to difference in expenses.

(1)The Morgan Stanley Capital International (MSCI) EAFE Index (Europe, Australasia, Far East) is a free float-adjusted market capitalization index that is designed to measure the international equity market performance of developed markets, excluding the US & Canada. The term “free float” represents the portion of shares outstanding that are deemed to be available for purchase in the public equity markets by investors. The MSCI EAFE Index curently consists of 21 developed market country indices. The performance of the Index is listed in U.S. dollars and assumes reinvestment of net dividends. 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 International Multi-Cap Core Funds Index is an equally weighted performance index of the largest qualifying funds (based on net assets) in the Lipper International 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. As of the date of this report, the Portfolio is in the Lipper International Multi-Cap Core Funds classification.

(3)Total returns for the Portfolio reflect fees waived and expenses reimbursed, if applicable, by the Adviser. Without such waivers and reimbursements, total returns would have been lower. Fee waivers and/or expense reimbursements are voluntary and the Adviser reserves the right to commence or terminate any waiver and/or reimbursement at any time.

2009 Annual Report

Investment Overview

International Growth Equity Portfolio

The International Growth Equity Portfolio (the “Portfolio”) seeks long-term capital appreciation, with a secondary objective of income by investing primarily in a diversified portfolio of equity securities of issuers located in countries other than the United States. Foreign investing involves certain risks, including currency fluctuations and controls, restrictions on foreign investments, less governmental supervision and regulation, less liquidity and the potential for market volatility and political instability. The risks of investing in emerging-market countries are greater than the risks generally associated with foreign investments.

Performance

For the year ended December 31, 2009, the Portfolio had a total return based on net asset value and reinvestment of distributions per share of 38.78%, net of fees, for Class I shares. The Portfolio’s Class I shares outperformed against its benchmark, the Morgan Stanley Capital International (MSCI) EAFE Index (the “Index”) which returned 31.78%.

Factors Affecting Performance

·International equity markets experienced significant price increases in 2009 fueled by the global monetary and fiscal stimulus put in place following 2008’s global financial maelstrom, finishing the year up 31.78% as measured by the MSCI EAFE Index.

·The Index’s return to positive territory began during the first quarter and continued throughout the year. The downslide in 2008 continued into the first quarter with the Index returning —13.94% for the quarter and bottoming on March 9, 2009. Both the second and third quarters of 2009 saw sizeable gains in the Index, increasing 25.43% and 19.47%, respectively. While second quarter returns were driven by broad gains in all EAFE sectors and regions and an even larger gain in the emerging markets, in the third quarter highly geared companies with more operational leverage outperformed with initial signs of improvement in the developed markets. During the fourth quarter, investors appeared to return their focus to firms’ fundamentals; as such, the Index increased 2.18% for the quarter with the MSCI EAFE Growth Index outperforming the MSCI EAFE Value Index by over 3%.

·For the year, all regional benchmarks had positive returns. Japan increased the least of the regions at 6.25%. Japan’s performance is directly related to the moribund Japanese economy and the stock market having less to recover as it was the region that decreased the least in 2008. Within developed markets, the Asia Pacific Ex-Japan region increased the most for the year (72.81%). Emerging markets, as measured by the MSCI Emerging Markets Index, experienced a significant rebound during the year (78.51%). EAFE sector returns were up universally for the year. The more cyclical sectors outperformed with materials the best performing (69.98%), and financials (38.65%) and consumer discretionary (37.96%) tied for a distant second. Utilities was the worst performing sector, increasing the least (5.26%). The U.S. dollar decreased against most foreign currencies including 2.50% versus the euro and 10.81% versus the pound; however, it gained 2.63% versus the yen for the year.

·The Portfolio outperformed in four out of five regions for 2009. Stock selection in Europe, Japan and emerging markets was the main driver of outperformance. Within Japan, the strongest performers were the exporters while the domestically focused companies underperformed due to the lagging economy and shrinking population. In Europe, performance was led by a position in Norway’s largest publicly traded insurer. Shares in the stock gained as the company continued to realize cost savings and synergies from an acquisition and from an increase in the value of its investments as financial markets strengthened. Within emerging markets, a Chinese internet company was the Portfolio’s top performer for the year. The domestically focused company has consistently grown revenue and earnings throughout the year, building on its leading social networking business and by introducing internet gaming.

·Holdings in North America (Canada) were also solid positive contributors for the year, driven by a holding in the world’s largest producer of uranium. Shares increased based on the improving outlook for nuclear power demand, the company’s consistent revenue and earnings growth, and the sale of its non-core gold business.

·In Asia ex-Japan, the Portfolio’s underweighting led to underperfomance due to the region’s strong recovery, particularly in Australia.

Investment Overview (cont’d)

International Growth Equity Portfolio

·The Portfolio outperformed in eight out of ten sectors for 2009, led by holdings in information technology and industrials. Within information technology, gains were driven by the aforementioned Chinese internet company and a Japanese specialty glass manufacturer that appreciated during the year as a result of increased demand and higher capacity utilization. In industrials, shares of a global leader in elevator and escalator production outperformed due to growth in its higher-margin modernization and service business and its growing market share in Asian countries with more stable economies. Additionally, a holding in the world’s largest maker of oil rigs increased during the year due to a doubling of profits in the second quarter and third quarter earnings that beat analysts’ expectations, combined with an increase in contracts. However, the Portfolio underperformed the Index in materials, where an underweight position dampened relative performance, and in consumer discretionary.

Management Strategies

·After an apocalyptic 2008 in the financial markets, the fiscal and monetary stimulus initiated by governments worldwide during the fourth quarter of 2008 began to take effect and stimulate growth in 2009. While stimulative policies continue to be introduced, for example Japan’s $80 billion stimulus package announced December 8, 2009, positive trends in economic indicators appear to signal the broader recovery is gaining momentum and is beginning to be driven by real demand. Although China continues to be the recovery leader with reports of increased industrial production, imports and vehicle sales, the U.S. and Europe are also showing signs of positive growth. In the U.S., banks have been repaying TARP (Troubled Asset Relief Program) funds, jobless claims decreased in December and the ISM Manufacturing Index has increased. While Europe is expected to recover more slowly than the U.S., Europe’s manufacturing industry expanded for a second month in December. As noted in previous commentaries, Australia continues to see a strong recovery in its economy.

·As 2010 progresses, we will watch to see if the positive trends continue. The markets may face considerable headwinds such as premature stimulus pullback, global risk of inflationary pressures and U.S. and pan-European governmental fiscal crunches. While we are clearly in a global recovery, many strategists think the equity markets have discounted the recovery to a large extent. In this environment, we continue to believe that our investment strategy of bottom-up stock selection focused on high quality, growth equities will be critical for generating long-term outperformance.

performance figures, please visit www.morganstanley.com/im. Investment return and principal value will fluctuate so that Portfolio shares, when redeemed, may 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. Performance of share classes will vary due to difference in expenses.

(1)The Morgan Stanley Capital International (MSCI) EAFE Index (Europe, Australasia, Far East) is a free float-adjusted market capitalization index that is designed to measure the international equity market performance of developed markets, excluding the US & Canada. The term “free float” represents the portion of shares outstanding that are deemed to be available for purchase in the public equity markets by investors. The MSCI EAFE Index currently consists of 21 developed market country indices. The performance of the Index is listed in U.S. dollars and assumes reinvestment of net dividends. 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 International Large-Cap Growth Funds Index is an equally weighted performance index of the largest qualifying funds (based on net assets) in the Lipper International Large-Cap Growth 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. As of the date of this report, the Portfolio is in the Lipper International Large-Cap Growth Funds classification.

(3)Total returns for the Portfolio reflect fees waived and expenses reimbursed, if applicable, by the Adviser. Without such waivers and reimbursements, total returns would have been lower. Fee waivers and/or expense reimbursements are voluntary and the Adviser reserves the right to commence or terminate any waiver and/or reimbursement at any time.

Investment Overview

International Real Estate Portfolio

The International Real Estate Portfolio (the “Portfolio”) seeks to provide current income and long-term capital appreciation by investing primarily in equity securities of companies in the real estate industry located in various global markets throughout the world (excluding the United States and Canada). Foreign investing involves certain risks, including currency fluctuations and controls, restrictions on foreign investments, less governmental supervision and regulation, less liquidity and the potential for market volatility and political instability. The risks of investing in emerging-market countries are greater than the risks generally associated with foreign investments. In addition to the general risks associated with real-estate investment, REIT investing entails other risks, such as credit and interest-rate risk.

Performance

For the year ended December 31, 2009, the Portfolio had a total return based on net asset value and reinvestment of distributions per share of 46.54% for the Class I shares, net of fees. The Portfolio’s Class I shares outperformed against the FTSE EPRA/NAREIT Developed ex-North America Real Estate Index (80% Europe/20% Asia) which returned 40.81% and the MSCI EAFE Index which returned 31.78%.

Factors Affecting Performance

·The international real estate securities market posted large gains in the 12-month period ending December 31, 2009, but the stocks have still experienced significant declines from peak levels.

·European and Asian real estate securities posted large declines through mid-March, as share prices appeared to be impacted by negative investor sentiment in response to a continuation of weak economic data and the deterioration of the credit markets. Subsequently, the sector rallied significantly on the back of an improved outlook for the global economy, the strong rally in the broader equity and debt markets, overall improvements in capital market conditions, and the significant volume of successful public real estate company equity offerings which allowed the companies to delever their balance sheets and address upcoming debt maturities.

·Significant outperformance within each of the regional sub-portfolios contributed to relative returns. Global allocation among the regional portfolios also contributed to relative returns, while cash held in the Portfolio detracted from relative returns.

·In Asia, the Portfolio benefited from stock selection within and an overweight to Hong Kong, an underweight to Australia, and stock selection in Singapore and Japan. The benefits of these positions were partially offset by the impact of an underweight to Singapore.

·In Europe, the Portfolio benefited from stock selection in the U.K. and an underweight to Belgium; this was modestly offset by stock selection in France.

Management Strategies

·The Portfolio is comprised of two regional sub-portfolios with an allocation which weights each major region (Europe and Asia) based on our view of its relative attractiveness in terms of underlying real estate fundamentals and public market valuations. Moreover, each of the regional portfolios reflects our core investment philosophy as a real estate value investor, which results in the ownership of stocks that we believe provide the best valuation relative to their underlying real estate values, while maintaining portfolio diversification.

·Our company-specific research leads us to specific preferences for sub-segments within each property market. For the period ended December 31, 2009, the Portfolio was overweight the Asian listed property sector and underweight the European listed property sector.

·Within Asia, we expect underlying property fundamentals and asset values in key markets within Japan and Hong Kong to remain relatively more stable than other markets given relatively low vacancy and limited new supply over the next few years. The overweight to the Asian region was predominated by real estate operating companies (REOCs) in Japan and Hong Kong. The Hong Kong REOCs posted significant gains and outperformed, ending the period trading at a narrow discount to the net asset values (NAVs) of their underlying property, which may be poised for growth given prospects for a recovery in rents and asset values. The Japanese REOCs underperformed, only posting modest gains and continue to trade at a wide discount to their NAVs, despite better than expected prime office market fundamentals. We continue to maintain a preference for the major REOCs with predominant exposure to prime assets

given what we believe are their relatively more favorable property fundamentals, the ability to engage in value-added opportunities such as development and redevelopment, well-positioned balance sheets and continued access to financing. This contrasts widely to the Asian REITs, which are passive, externally managed vehicles limited to property ownership, many of which are capital constrained with more limited access to financing and maintain predominant exposure to secondary assets. The Portfolio was underweight the Australian LPT sector, which trades at a wide premium to NAVs.

·In Europe, the Portfolio ended the year overweight the U.K., France and Italy and underweight the remainder of the Continent. Valuations on the Continent ended the period at par to NAV (based on reported NAVs, which reflect only marginal capital value declines since the start of the credit crisis due to limited transactional evidence thus far); however NAVs are generally expected to decline further in most markets. Valuations in the U.K. ended the year at an average 8% premium to reported NAVs, which have started to show positive growth after declining by a cumulative 57% since June 2007.

·In contrast to the relatively more stable outlook for underlying property valuations in Asia, and emerging evidence of capital value improvements in the U.K., in Continental Europe there are expectations for further weakness in underlying property fundamentals and asset values. However, a key question remains the magnitude of prospective asset value declines from peak levels since transactional evidence continues to be limited in most markets due to the wide bid-ask spread between buyers and sellers. It is notable that given the improvements in the capital markets and the significant amount of equity issued by the public companies to improve their balance sheets, a debate has emerged as to whether the magnitude of asset value declines will be less than previously expected. In some sub-segments of these markets, we believe current share price valuations already reflect the prospective weakening in underlying fundamentals and asset values. In the short term, share prices may experience incremental weakness, but we believe that expected returns over the medium and long-term are compelling given the current pricing for many of the companies provides an entry point that already reflects downside risks.

*Minimum Investment

In accordance with SEC regulations, Portfolio’s performance shown assumes that all recurring fees (including management fees) were deducted and all dividends and distributions were reinvested. The performance of Class P shares will vary from the Class I shares based upon its different inception date and will be negatively impacted by additional fees assessed to that class.

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 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 return and principal value will fluctuate so that Portfolio shares, when redeemed, may 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. Performance of share classes will vary due to difference in expenses.

(1)The FTSE EPRA/NAREIT Developed ex-North America Real Estate Index (80% Europe 20% Asia) — Net Total Return to U.S. investors is a customized benchmark, 80% of which consists of the performance of the FTSE EPRA/NAREIT Developed Real Estate Index: Europe Series — Net Total Return to U.S. investors and 20% of which consists of the performance of the FTSE EPRA/NAREIT Developed Real Estate Index: Asia Series — Net Total Return to U.S. investors. These series are components of the FTSE EPRA/NAREIT Developed Real Estate Index — Net Total Return to U.S. investors, which is a market capitalization weighted index designed to reflect the stock performance of companies engaged in the North American, European and Asian real estate markets. The performance of the Index is listed in U.S. dollars and assumes reinvestment of dividends. “Net Total Return to U.S. investors” reflects a reduction in total returns after taking into account the withholding tax on dividends by certain foreign countries represented in the Index for periods after 1/31/05 (gross returns used prior to 1/31/05). 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 Morgan Stanley Capital International (MSCI) EAFE Index (Europe, Australasia, Far East) is a free float-adjusted market capitalization index that is designed to measure the international equity market performance of developed markets, excluding the U.S. & Canada. The term “free float” represents the portion of shares outstanding that are deemed to be available for purchase in the public equity markets by investors. The MSCI EAFE Index currently consists of 21 developed market country indices. The performance of the Index is listed in U.S. dollars and assumes reinvestment of net dividends. 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.

(3)Total returns for the Portfolio reflect fees waived and expenses reimbursed, if applicable, by the Adviser. Without such waivers and reimbursements, total returns would have been lower. Fee waivers and/or expense reimbursements are voluntary and the Adviser reserves the right to commence or terminate any waiver and/or reimbursement at any time.

(4)Commenced operations on October 1, 1997.

(5)For comparative purposes, average annual since inception returns listed for the Indexes refer to the inception date or initial offering of the respective share class of the Portfolio, not the inception of the Index.

Investment Overview

International Small Cap Portfolio

The International Small Cap Portfolio (the “Portfolio”) seeks long-term capital appreciation by investing primarily in equity securities of small non-U.S. companies. Investments in small sized corporations are more vulnerable to financial risks and other risks than larger corporations and may involve a higher degree of price volatility than investments in the general equity markets. Foreign investing involves certain risks, including currency fluctuations and controls, restrictions on foreign investments, less governmental supervision and regulation, less liquidity and the potential for market volatility and political instability. The risks of investing in emerging-market countries are greater than the risks generally associated with foreign investments.

Performance

For the year ended December 31, 2009, the Portfolio had a total return based on net asset value and reinvestment of distributions per share of 27.45%, net of fees, for the Class I shares. The Portfolio’s Class I shares underperformed against its benchmark, the Morgan Stanley Capital International (MSCI) EAFE Small Cap Total Return Index (the “Index”) which returned 46.78%.

Factors Affecting Performance

·The MSCI EAFE Small Cap Index (the “Index”) posted an impressive return of 46.8% for the final year of the decade. While it was a strong year overall for the Index, nearly 60% of the return was achieved in the months of April and May when the Index rose 15% and 14%, respectively.

·During the year, the cyclical sectors dominated the Index performance with the energy sector rising 93%, driven by a rise in oil prices from $33 to $83. Information technology, materials and consumer discretionary rose 66%, 58% and 51%, respectively. The industrials sector, the largest sector, was in line with the Index return of 47%. The sector’s performance was “held back” by the more modest rise of 9% for Japanese industrials. Financials lagged the Index with a return of 35%, but there was a sharp contrast in the performance of the underlying sectors. Real estate companies rose 57% versus banks, which closed the year up a mere 0.02% on weakness in Japanese banks. Three of the four defensive sectors (utilities, health care and consumer staples) all ended the year behind the Index.

·For the year, the Portfolio’s underperformance was split almost equally between two key drivers — our significant underperformance during the low quality rally in the first half of the year and Japan dominating the second half.

·April saw the Index rally 15%, its highest monthly performance ever. The rally reflected the market’s total change in sentiment following Citigroup’s better-than-expected results in March. The stocks that rallied hardest were those that had been most financially distressed. Not owning these companies, given our focus on strong balance sheets and coverage ratios, led the Portfolio to underperform by 8% in one month. This underperformance was particularly marked in the U.K. and to a lesser extent in Ireland and Scandinavia, primarily in the consumer discretionary and industrial sectors in those countries. The scale of the move in these stocks dominated the full year sector and country attribution despite some strong stock selection in each of these sectors and markets throughout the rest of the year.

·Our overweight to Japan, and in particular Japanese financials, accounted for the remainder of this year’s underperformance. Early in 2009, profit taking in Japan followed the country’s strong relative performance at the end of 2008. In the interim months (May to August), the Portfolio’s performance started to catch up on the back of broadly based, strong stock selection and Japan no longer serving as a drag. Going into the fourth quarter, however, Japan significantly underperformed as investors took a negative view (unfairly, we believe) of Japan’s economic prospects for recovery. In December, Japan’s poor performance reversed sharply (in local currency terms) and the Portfolio immediately benefited. For the month, the Portfolio outperformed the Index, driven by strong stock selection, most particularly in Japan.

Management Strategies

·2009 marked a year of higher portfolio turnover. After the decline in the market in 2008 and early 2009, the value screens, which drive our fundamental research, swung from being tilted toward defensive sectors to almost fully populated by cyclicals. We bought a raft of high quality, typically cash rich and lowly indebted, high returning cyclicals across Europe and Asia. These cyclicals were starting to more than discount our own conservative outlook, which was based on the companies returning over

time to their mid-cycle margins and returns. By mid-year 2009, the Portfolio’s allocation was 16% defensives and 84% cyclicals, essentially in line with the Index and this was little changed at year end. The strong move into cyclicals was correct but our focus on high quality didn’t find a place in the low beta rally or get handed a “get out of jail free card” that many of the most financially distressed companies gratefully grasped.

·Not surprisingly, given the strong recovery in cyclicals, we are seeing a more even spread of value now in our screens between defensive and cyclical sectors. There is no question that the market will continue to be preoccupied with looking for evidence of a recovery in corporate top lines as well as bottom lines but, given the attractive valuations on which we are still able to buy many small caps, little recovery is yet priced into the names owned in the portfolio as of this writing.

·Japan remains overweight in the Portfolio namely because we believe valuations haven’t been as attractive, absolutely or relatively, in Japan for 20 years and because the same key drivers of performance present in all the other markets in 2009 are just as evident in Japan. There are clear signs of improving industrial production, rising capacity utilization, stabilizing inventory levels, recovering consumer confidence and significant corporate cost cutting. The fact that the market failed to price this in last year is all the more surprising given Japan’s significant economic leverage and, in particular, its leading role as a beneficiary of the growth in China and the region. Japan finally appears to be getting some attention, as evidenced by December’s improved performance.

·Within the Japanese market, we like financials and we believe that the significant underperformance last year reflected the market’s preoccupation with weakness in the Japanese economy and the possibility of the banks needing to raise additional capital. We believe the underlying fundamentals for the Japanese companies that we own are strong and each company is, without exception, sufficiently capitalized. We believe the catalyst for a higher share price will be emerging signs that the 2% deflation priced into the bond market is no longer justified. The market seems to believe that Japanese banks are structurally rather than cyclically depressed. We disagree.

·We remain positive on the outlook for international small caps. Despite 2009’s 47% rise, the asset class remains cheap both absolutely and relatively, in our view. The quality bias that hurt the Portfolio’s performance in 2009 reflects investments in a raft of companies that, in our view, have made the best use of a bad crisis to emerge stronger than ever. This is yet to be reflected in their valuations.

Investment Overview

Capital Growth Portfolio

The Capital Growth Portfolio (the “Portfolio”) seeks long-term capital appreciation by investing primarily in growth-oriented equity securities of large capitalization companies. There is no assurance that a portfolio will achieve its investment objective. Portfolios are subject to market risk, which is the possibility that the market values of securities owned by the portfolio will decline and that the value of portfolio shares may therefore be less than what you paid for them. Accordingly, you can lose money investing in this portfolio. Please be aware that this portfolio may be subject to certain additional risks. Equity. In general equity securities’ values also fluctuate in response to activities specific to a company. Foreign and emerging markets. Investments in foreign markets entail special risks such as currency, political, economic, and market risks. The risks of investing in emerging-market countries are greater than the risks generally associated with foreign investments.

Performance

For the year ended December 31, 2009, the Portfolio had a total return based on net asset value and reinvestment of distributions per share of 62.97%, net of fees, for Class I shares. The Portfolio’s Class I shares outperformed against its benchmark, the Russell 1000® Growth Index (the “Index”) which returned 37.21%.

Factors Affecting Performance

·In many ways, 2009 was as surprising for investors as 2008. We made few changes to the Portfolio during the downturn, as we believed our high quality companies with sustainable competitive advantages had the potential to perform well over time. Staying true to our philosophy and process proved advantageous in 2009, as higher quality names — those with attractive returns on invested capital and strong balance sheets — led for most of the year. As it became more apparent we were not headed for a total meltdown, the recovery broadened across the Portfolio’s holdings. While turnover remained low, we did add new names as several of the Portfolio’s holdings graduated from mid- to large-cap and as we found more compelling opportunities. For the period overall, stock selection drove the Portfolio’s relative outperformance.

·Stock selection in consumer discretionary had the largest positive effect on relative performance, although an overweight there slightly detracted. Within the sector, outperformance was driven by the diversified retail industry.

·Stock selection in technology also produced relative gains, but was slightly offset by the negative impact of an underweight in the sector. The computer services software and systems industry led performance within the sector.

·Both stock selection and an overweight in financial services added to relative performance. Here, exposure to the securities brokerage and services industry was the primary contributor.

·However, stock selection in materials and processing detracted from relative performance, despite the benefit of an overweight position in the sector. The sole underperformer was in the building materials industry.

Management Strategies

·As a team, we do not spend a great deal of time thinking about a market outlook, as we believe it is nearly impossible to correctly anticipate what will happen over short periods of time. While current conditions seem encouraging, with initial public offerings and merger and acquisition activity expanding, we cannot rule out volatility around short-term events. Our focus is on assessing company prospects over three to five years, and owning a portfolio of what we consider to be high quality companies with diverse business drivers not tied to a particular market environment.

*Minimum Investment

In accordance with SEC regulations, Portfolio’s performance shown assumes that all recurring fees (including management fees) were deducted and all dividends and distributions were reinvested. The performance of Class P shares will vary from the Class I shares based upon its different inception date and will be negatively impacted by additional fees assessed to that class.

2009 Annual Report

Investment Overview

Focus Growth Portfolio

The Focus Growth Portfolio (the “Portfolio”) seeks capital appreciation by investing primarily in growth-oriented equity securities of large capitalization companies. The Portfolio’s concentration of its assets in a small number of issuers will subject it to greater risks.

Performance

For the year ended December 31, 2009, the Portfolio had a total return based on net asset value per share of 70.61%, net of fees, for Class I shares. The Portfolio’s Class I shares outperformed against its benchmark, the Russell 1000® Growth Index (the “Index”) which returned 37.21%.

Factors Affecting Performance

·In many ways, 2009 was as surprising for investors as 2008. We made few changes to the Portfolio during the downturn, as we believed our high quality companies with sustainable competitive advantages had the potential to perform well over time. Staying true to our philosophy and process proved advantageous in 2009, as higher quality names — those with attractive returns on invested capital and strong balance sheets — led for most of the year. As it became more apparent we were not headed for a total meltdown, the recovery broadened across the Portfolio’s holdings. While turnover remained low, we did add new names as several of the Portfolio’s holdings graduated from mid- to large-cap and as we found more compelling opportunities. For the period overall, stock selection drove the Portfolio’s relative outperformance.

·Stock selection and an overweight in technology by far was the largest positive contributor to relative performance. The computer services software and systems industry led performance within the sector.

·Stock selection in consumer discretionary also had a positive effect on relative performance, although an overweight there slightly detracted. Within the sector, outperformance was driven by the diversified retail industry.

·Both stock selection and an overweight in financial services added to relative performance. Here, exposure to the securities brokerage and services industry was the primary contributor.

·However, stock selection in materials and processing detracted from relative performance, despite the benefit of an overweight position in the sector. While none of our holdings had negative returns, they did not keep pace with the stronger performing industries within the sector. In particular, the diversified chemicals and copper industries, in which the Portfolio had no exposure, saw large rebounds in 2009.

Management Strategies

·As a team, we do not spend a great deal of time thinking about a market outlook, as we believe it is nearly impossible to correctly anticipate what will happen over short periods of time. While current conditions seem encouraging, with initial public offerings and merger and acquisition activity expanding, we cannot rule out volatility around short-term events. Our focus is on assessing company prospects over three to five years, and owning a portfolio of what we consider to be high quality companies with diverse business drivers not tied to a particular market environment.

*Minimum Investment

In accordance with SEC regulations, Portfolio’s performance shown assumes that all recurring fees (including management fees) were deducted and all dividends and distributions were reinvested. The performance of Class P shares will vary from the Class I shares based upon its different inception date and will be negatively impacted by additional fees assessed to that class.

2009 Annual Report

December 31, 2009 (unaudited)

Investment Overview

Large Cap Relative Value Portfolio

The Large Cap Relative Value Portfolio (the “Portfolio”) seeks high total return by investing primarily in equity securities that the Advisor believes to be undervalued relative to the stock market in general at the time of purchase. Investments in foreign markets entail special risks such as currency, political, economic, and market risks.

Performance

For the year ended December 31, 2009, the Portfolio had a total return based on net asset value and reinvestment of distributions per share of 24.28%, net of fees, for Class I shares. The Portfolio’s Class I shares outperformed against its benchmark, the Russell 1000® Value Index (the “Index”) which returned 19.69%.

Factors Affecting Performance

·Equities advanced from mid-March through year end as the financial system improved, policy actions helped stabilize the credit markets, and corporate earnings were able to beat lowered expectations. As the period progressed, the rate of decline in some economic indicators continued to slow, but the economy and market still faced many headwinds, most notably high unemployment rates and the weak real estate market.

·The energy sector was additive to relative performance, especially exploration and production (E&P) companies. E&P companies benefited from rising energy prices and the improving economic environment, whereas integrated oil companies (which we deemphasized in the Portfolio) lagged the broad sector. Although we increased the Portfolio’s exposure to the energy sector overall, the sector remained a relative underweight.

·Health care also contributed to outperformance during the period. The Portfolio has historically maintained an overweight in the sector; however, over the past 12 months the weight has declined. Most of the exposure in health care has been in the pharmaceutical industry and the Portfolio benefited from holding two companies that were targeted for acquisition. Given the relative strength in health care over the preceding fiscal year and the merger and acquisition tailwind in pharmaceuticals in this fiscal year, we reduced the Portfolio’s exposure in the sector and used the proceeds to invest in other areas we believed had better risk/reward opportunities.

·In the technology sector, exposure to both software and services, and semiconductors, added to relative gains. In software and services, we bought an undervalued Internet company undergoing a management change. The company’s stock price appreciated as the new management drove revenue growth and sold a non-core asset.

·Although we decreased the Portfolio’s consumer staples exposure during the period, the sector contributed to relative performance. One of the Portfolio’s top holdings was a confectionary company that performed strongly following an announcement that a competitor had made an offer to acquire them. Toward the end of the period, we began adding attractive consumer staples companies that met our value-with-a-catalyst criteria.

·The financials sector was the largest relative detractor during the review period. The Portfolio has maintained a significant underweight in financials versus the Index for some time, which benefited the Portfolio significantly in 2007 and 2008. However, over the past 12 months, financial stocks rebounded from their earlier dramatic decline. The Portfolio’s exposure has been focused on financial companies that we believe possess conservative balance sheets and appropriate risk/return characteristics, and these companies did not participate in the rally to the degree that others in the sector (such as banks and diversified financials) did. The Portfolio’s underexposure was based on our concerns regarding quality of balances sheets, uncertainty regarding additional capital requirements and incremental dividend cuts, and the unpredictability of government influence.

·The materials sector also dampened relative gains. The Portfolio’s underweight in the sector meant that it had less exposure to these economically sensitive stocks, which performed well as the market rebounded.

Management Strategies

·Over the past 12 months, equity markets have had tremendous volatility. The market initially experienced a significant sell-off, followed by a strong rally as investor confidence improved when signs of an economic recovery — or at least stabilization — began to emerge. Although cautiously optimistic,

Investment Overview (cont’d)

Large Cap Relative Value Portfolio

we are guarded as post the rally, valuations are relatively less compelling and other challenges continue. We continue to be concerned about high unemployment, an earnings recovery driven by massive cost cutting versus top-line revenue growth, and the still weak real estate market. We believe that going forward, the market will become more of a stock pickers’ market. In other words, whereas in the rally off the March bottom one might have been rewarded for just the appearance of value, we believe that going forward managers will be more likely to be rewarded for uncovering value with improving or good fundamentals. We think the market will more markedly differentiate between those companies that have more sustainable fundamental momentum with value as a backdrop versus those that just appear to provide value. Given our philosophy and process, which focuses on uncovering value combined with a catalyst, we are excited about what we believe will be this next phase in the market.

·We seek to find out-of-favor and undervalued companies that are experiencing a change or catalyst that we believe should have a positive impact on the stock valuation. Such catalysts could be fundamental in nature (e.g., revenues reaccelerating, returns improving), may take the form of growth or consolidation within an industry/sector, or could be a management change — or some combination of these elements. This process is designed to tilt risk/reward scales in our favor. We believe that if we are purchasing stocks that are out of favor and undervalued, expectations (and generally downside) will be more limited. We also believe that if we combine these attributes with a catalyst, we go a long way working toward helping our investors’ during a down market, while offering our investors the potential opportunity to outperform the market.

*Minimum Investment

In accordance with SEC regulations, Portfolio’s performance shown assumes that all recurring fees (including management fees) were deducted and all dividends and distributions were reinvested. The performance of Class P shares will vary from the Class I shares based upon its different inception date and will be negatively impacted by additional fees assessed to that class.

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 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 return and principal value will fluctuate so that Portfolio shares, when redeemed, may 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. Performance of share classes will vary due to difference in expenses.

December 31, 2009 (unaudited)

Investment Overview

Small Company Growth Portfolio

The Small Company Growth Portfolio (the “Portfolio”) seeks long-term capital appreciation by investing primarily in growth-oriented equity securities of small capitalization companies. Investments in small sized corporations are more vulnerable to financial risks and other risks than larger corporations and may involve a higher degree of price volatility than investments in the general equity markets.

Performance

For the year ended December 31, 2009, the Portfolio had a total return based on net asset value and reinvestment of distributions per share of 47.92%, net of fees, for Class I shares. The Portfolio’s Class I shares outperformed against its benchmark, the Russell 2000® Growth Index (the “Index”) which returned 34.47%.

Factors Affecting Performance

·In many ways, 2009 was as surprising for investors as 2008. We made few changes to the Portfolio during the downturn, as we believed our high quality companies with sustainable competitive advantages had the potential to perform well over time. Staying true to our philosophy and process proved advantageous in 2009, as higher quality names — those with attractive returns on invested capital and strong balance sheets — led for most of the year. As it became more apparent we were not headed for a total meltdown, the recovery broadened across the Portfolio’s holdings. While turnover remained low, we did add new names as several of the Portfolio’s holdings graduated from mid- to large-cap and as we found more compelling opportunities. For the period overall, stock selection drove the Portfolio’s relative outperformance.

·Both stock selection and an overweight in consumer discretionary by far had the largest positive effect on relative performance. Within the sector, the specialty retail industry was the leading contributor.

·Both stock selection and an underweight in producer durables were also additive. Here, outperformance was driven by the commercial services industry.

·An underweight in health care was advantageous to relative performance, although it was somewhat offset by the negative influence of stock selection there. Within the sector, the medical equipment industry outperformed the Index.

·Conversely, stock selection in energy was the largest drag on relative performance, as natural gas producers underperformed the Index.

·An underweight in technology also detracted from relative performance, despite the benefit of stock selection in the sector. The main area of underperformance was in the computer technology industry.

·An overweight in financial services hampered relative performance, although stock selection did help. The financial data and systems industry lagged the most.

Management Strategies

·As a team, we do not spend a great deal of time thinking about a market outlook, as we believe it is nearly impossible to correctly anticipate what will happen over short periods of time. While current conditions seem encouraging, with initial public offerings and merger and acquisition activity expanding, we cannot rule out volatility around short-term events. Our focus is on assessing company prospects over three to five years, and owning a portfolio of what we consider to be high quality companies with diverse business drivers not tied to a particular market environment.

*Minimum Investment

In accordance with SEC regulations, Portfolio’s performance shown assumes that all recurring fees (including management fees) were deducted and all dividends and distributions were reinvested. The performance of Class P shares will vary from the Class I shares based upon its different inception date and will be negatively impacted by additional fees assessed to that class.

(1)	The Russell 2000® Growth Index measures the performance of the small-cap growth segment of the U.S. equity universe. It includes those Russell 2000® Index companies with higher price-to-book ratios and higher forecasted growth values. The Russell 2000® Index is a subset of the Russell 3000® Index representing approximately 10% of the total market capitalization of that index. It includes approximately 2,000 of the smallest securities based on a combination of their market capitalization and current index membership. 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.

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. As of the date of this report, the Portfolio is in the Lipper Small-Cap Growth Funds classification.

2009 Annual Report

December 31, 2009 (unaudited)

Investment Overview

U.S. Real Estate Portfolio

The U.S. Real Estate Portfolio (the “Portfolio”) seeks to provide above average current income and long-term capital appreciation by investing primarily in equity securities of companies in the U.S. real estate industry, including real estate investment trusts (“REITs”). The Portfolio’s concentration in the real estate sector makes it subject to greater risk and volatility than other portfolios that are more diversified, and the value of its shares may be substantially affected by economic events in the real estate industry. In addition to the general risks associated with real-estate investment, REIT investing entails other risks, such as credit and interest-rate risk.

Performance

For the year ended December 31, 2009, the Portfolio had a total return based on net asset value and reinvestment of distributions per share of 29.65%, net of fees, for Class I shares. The Portfolio’s Class I shares outperformed against its benchmarks, the FTSE NAREIT Equity REITs Index (the “Index”) which returned 27.99% and the S&P 500® Index which returned 26.46%.

Factors Affecting Performance

·The REIT market gained 28.0% in the 12-month period ending December 31, 2009, as measured by the FTSE NAREIT Equity REITs Index, but is still down approximately 40% from peak levels.

·REITs posted significant declines through mid-March, as share prices appeared to be impacted by negative investor sentiment in response to a continuation of weak economic data and the deterioration of the credit markets. The sector subsequently rallied significantly through year-end on an improved outlook for the economy, strong rallies in the broader equity and debt markets, the overall improvement in the capital markets, and the significant volume of successful REIT equity offerings which allowed companies to delever their balance sheets and address upcoming debt maturities.

·Among the major U.S. REIT sectors, the apartment sector outperformed, the retail sector modestly underperformed and the office sector meaningfully outperformed the Index.

·The apartment stocks outperformed the Index, as they were viewed as a safer group within the REIT sector for most of the period due to relatively stronger balance sheets, largely due to their continued access to debt financing from Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. In addition, the stocks may have been aided by the reduced pace of job losses and the view that employment may turn positive in 2010.

·The retail sector modestly underperformed the Index. Within the retail sector, the malls significantly outperformed and shopping centers significantly underperformed the Index. An improved outlook for consumer sentiment aided the mall stocks, while the shopping centers posted negative returns and significantly underperformed as earnings results provided evidence that the economy was placing pressure on a variety of their tenants, as evidenced by higher bad debt expense and declining market rents.

·The office sector meaningfully outperformed the Index. Investors appeared to be encouraged by better-than-expected results due to longer lease terms, as well as those companies that issued equity and improved their balance sheets. In addition, the stocks with the more risky balance sheets generally appeared to benefit disproportionally from an improved outlook for the economy and capital markets.

·Among the smaller sectors, the strongest performer was the hotel sector. After enduring several quarters of terrible share price performance, investor sentiment has shifted due to prospects for an improvement in the economy. The storage and industrial sectors significantly underperformed and the health care sector underperformed the Index.

·Bottom-up stock selection significantly contributed to performance. Stock selection was strong in the diversified, apartment, office and shopping center sectors; this was partially offset by stock selection in the health care and mall sectors.

·From a top-down perspective, the Portfolio benefited from the overweight to the hotel sector. Cash held in the Portfolio also detracted from relative returns.

Management Strategies

·We have maintained our core investment philosophy as a real estate value investor. This results in the ownership of stocks whose share prices we believe provide real estate exposure at the best

valuation relative to their underlying asset values. Our company specific research has led us to an overweighting in the Portfolio to a group of companies that are focused in the ownership of apartment properties and upscale urban hotels and an underweighting to companies concentrated in the ownership of industrial assets.

·Based on the consensus estimate of a 30% downward adjustment to asset values, the REIT market ended the year at what we believe is an approximate 25% premium to this expected decline in asset values. It is noteworthy that sellers have not yet accepted this level of price declines, resulting in an absence of transactions that has complicated traditional approaches to valuing REIT securities. In addition, property lenders have favored loan extensions over foreclosures, which have further postponed the price discovery process. It is notable that access to capital significantly differentiates REITs from other real estate owners. With this unique access to equity and debt capital, REITs have gone from being viewed as a sector with questionable prospects in the first quarter of 2009 to the group that may be best positioned to take advantage of acquisition opportunities. Indeed, recent equity issuance from the REITs appears targeted to have put REITs in a position to take advantage of acquisition opportunities that market participants anticipate will emerge over the next couple of years.

·We believe that at current premium valuations, it appears that the market is anticipating that asset values may not decline as much as previously expected. Current pricing may also reflect the benefits to REITs of having unique access to capital and being able to take advantage of the arbitrage opportunity between public and private valuations by making acquisitions.

*Minimum Investment

In accordance with SEC regulations, Portfolio’s performance shown assumes that all recurring fees (including management fees) were deducted and all dividends and distributions were reinvested. The performance of Class P shares will vary from the Class I shares based upon its different inception date and will be negatively impacted by additional fees assessed to that class.

2009 Annual Report

December 31, 2009 (unaudited)

Investment Overview

U.S. Small/Mid Cap Value Portfolio

U.S. Small/Mid Cap Value Portfolio (the “Portfolio”) seeks long-term capital appreciation by investing primarily in common stocks and other equity securities, including convertible securities, of small- and mid-size companies that the Adviser believes are undervalued relative to the marketplace or to similar companies. Stocks of small and medium-sized companies entail special risks, such as limited product lines, markets, and financial resources, and greater market volatility than securities of larger, more-established companies. In addition to the risks associated with common stocks, investments in convertible securities are subject to the risks associated with fixed-income securities, namely credit, price and interest-rate risks.

Performance

For the year ended December 31, 2009, the Portfolio had a total return based on net asset value and reinvestment of distributions per share of 33.61%, net of fees, for Class I shares. The Portfolio’s Class I shares outperformed against its benchmark, the Russell 2500® Value Index (the “Index”) which returned 27.68%.

Factors Affecting Performance

·The broad market had two distinct phases of performance in the 12-month period. The first phase was a continuation of the down market that began in 2008, as the financial system came under severe stress and the subsequent credit crisis strengthened the recession’s grip on the economy. The second phase began in early March as a few positive developments helped the market rebound from oversold conditions. Consumer confidence improved, the Conference Board’s index of leading economic indicators (LEI) began an upward trend, and credit markets began to stabilize. Estimated second quarter gross domestic product growth was less negative than anticipated, and was later revised higher. Corporate earnings exceeded expectations in the second quarter, and were expected to be even better in the third quarter. Investors were also buoyed by an uptick in merger and acquisition activity and initial public offerings.

·However, unemployment remains high, and the housing market and financial sector still have many challenges to overcome. Inflation fears also persisted amid an ongoing debate about whether policy makers would be able, or willing, to raise interest rates in the future in the interest of preventing inflation.

·Nevertheless, investors seemed to place more emphasis on the positive news than the negative news, with turnarounds in consumer sentiment, retail sales, and employment data by year end. Third quarter GDP growth was positive — indicating that the economy was no longer in contraction — but was later revised downward twice, as growth was less robust than initially estimated. As of its November 2009 reading (reported in December), the LEI was up for the eighth straight month. An increase in merger and acquisition activity in the fourth quarter also stoked investor confidence.

·In this environment, as measured by the Russell Indices, small- and mid-cap stocks outperformed large-caps, although all segments posted double-digit gains during the period. Both growth and value stocks had double-digit returns for the period as well, but value lagged growth.

·Within the Index, sector performance varied widely, but all sectors had positive returns for the period. Performance was led by cyclical (or economically sensitive) sectors: consumer discretionary, technology and energy. These sectors had been the three weakest-performing groups in 2008. Financial services, utilities and producer durables were the bottom three performers in 2009, after financial services and utilities had been two of the top performers in 2008.

·Within the Portfolio, relative outperformance was driven primarily by stock selection.

·Specifically, an underweight and stock selection in financial services was additive to returns as the Portfolio had less exposure to banks, one of the weakest performing industry groups during the period. Strong performing financial information services and timber real estate holdings also boosted performance.

·An underweight and stock selection in the utilities sector also contributed positively. The sector is very small in the Portfolio, and two of the holdings in it performed well for the period.

·Similarly, the Portfolio held few consumers staples stocks, but two of them — a vitamin manufacturer and distributor and a supplier of consumer and commercial food products — appreciated during the period and contributed to relative gains.

Investment Overview (cont’d)

U.S. Small/Mid Cap Value Portfolio

·Stock selection in producer durables was also advantageous, bolstered by aerospace and business services holdings.

·Finally, an overweight in technology, the second best performing sector during the period, further bolstered performance.

·However, an underweight in the consumer discretionary sector, which was the top performing sector for the period, dampened relative results. Within the sector, the more cyclical, higher beta names (such as auto parts, specialty retail, and consumer rental and leasing) performed the best but the Portfolio had no exposure to these segments. Additionally, the Portfolio owned a restaurant stock that had a negative return for the period.

·The materials and processing sector also hampered relative results due to the Portfolio’s underexposure to the pure commodity-focused companies (such as paper, steel, and precious metals), many of which benefited from rising commodity prices during the period. Moreover, the Portfolio’s holdings in packaging and containers companies were relative laggards.

Management Strategies

·During the year, the Portfolio added new holdings in consumer discretionary, financial services, technology, and utilities, while eliminating positions in consumer discretionary, materials and processing, and producer durables. However, the Portfolio’s sector weightings relative to the Index changed very little.

·At year-end, relative to the Index, the Portfolio continued to hold an underweight in financial services, especially banks and real estate investment trusts (REITs), but insurance represented an overweight. The Portfolio was also underweight in materials and processing (with no exposure to raw materials/commodities) and in utilities.

·The Portfolio’s largest overweights were technology (primarily software and services), consumer staples, producer durables (especially business services and aerospace), and health care.

2009 Annual Report

Investment Overview

Emerging Markets Debt Portfolio

The Emerging Markets Debt Portfolio (the “Portfolio”) seeks high total return by investing primarily in fixed income securities of government and government-related issuers and, to a lesser extent, of corporate issuers in emerging market countries. Foreign investing involves certain risks, including currency fluctuations and controls, restrictions on foreign investments, less governmental supervision and regulation, less liquidity and the potential for market volatility and political instability. In addition, investing in emerging markets may involve a relatively higher degree of volatility. Fixed income securities are subject to credit and interest-rate risk. Credit risk refers to the ability of an issuer to make timely payments of interest and principal. Interest-rate risk refers to fluctuations in the value of a fixed-income security resulting from changes in the general level of interest rates. In a declining interest-rate environment, the portfolio may generate less income. In a rising interest-rate environment, bond prices fall.

Performance

For the year ended December 31, 2009, the Portfolio had a total return based on net asset value and reinvestment of distributions per share of 23.75%, net of fees, for Class I shares. The Portfolio’s Class I shares outperformed against its benchmark, the JP Morgan EMBI Global Bond Index/JP Morgan GBI-EM Global Diversified Bond Index, which returned 21.98%.

Factors Affecting Performance

·The first months of 2009 were characterized by unprecedented government intervention in the financial markets, with policy moves ranging from bank nationalizations to fiscal and monetary activism. Widespread easing of monetary policy announced by numerous governments around the world complemented this fiscal support, while monetary authorities that had limited scope for further rate cuts moved to quantitative easing. In addition, leaders from the G-20 pledged to support a package of measures which provided funding of more than $1 trillion to contain the global downturn.

·The second quarter of 2009 was characterized by signs of a rebound in economic activity (“green shoots”) and increased risk appetite in the financial markets. Financial conditions improved and markets started to normalize. Emerging markets debt (EMD) staged a strong rally, benefiting from expectations that downside risks for the global economy had diminished. EMD fund flows turned positive after losing $3.8 billion since the beginning of the year.

·This “market normalization” was driven by the massive injection of liquidity on the part of world’s central banks, the sharp easing of monetary policy, and the recent stabilization of supply side variables such as industrial production. However, negative news at the global level, particularly from the demand side (retail sales, auto sales, exports, etc), still indicated that the real economy remained stressed and the recovery would likely be slow and fragile.

·In the third and the last quarters of the year, asset performance was supported by fundamentals. In this period, economic recovery was underway and financial risks diminished. However, trades in riskier assets that were popular during the rally months were crowded by investors and valuations were not that compelling. This was a period of consolidation, not only from an economic point of view (as economic recovery in systemically important countries consolidated) but also from an asset performance point of view, with returns moving toward more “normal” levels (that is, single digits or low double digits).

·EMD local currency debt, as measured by the JP Morgan GBI-EM Global Diversified Bond Index, returned 21.98% for the year. Local currency debt yields stood at 7.30% as of year end, with carry differential at its widest level in the last five years.

·The Portfolio benefited from an overweight exposure to Indonesia and a slight overweight in Colombia. Conversely, an overweight to U.S. dollar-denominated Venezuelan bonds and an overweight exposure to the Russian ruble detracted from relative returns.

Management Strategies

·Markets seem to keep building positions based on an optimistic growth outlook for EM in 2010. In addition, the environment is broadly constructive for EM currencies, which are supported by their higher carry and continued portfolio flows.

·On average, our valuation models point to many EM currencies being near fair value at current

levels, while others still have further to run. A rebound in global growth, accompanied by stable commodity prices and improved trade flows should be supportive for most EM currencies.

·Many EM central banks have come to the end of their rate cutting cycle, and a few have indicated their intention to stay on hold for a prolonged period, while others still are likely to start hiking rates in the first half of 2010. Most local markets’ yield curves have already priced in these expected moves.

·However, given the nascent stage of the recovery in economic activity, many yield curves may have priced in an overly aggressive policy rate path. The net result is that we expect rising policy rates to have a limited impact on bond prices. As such, we expect foreign currency gains and interest income to represent the majority of the still attractive potential total return.

*Minimum Investment

In accordance with SEC regulations, Portfolio’s performance shown assumes that all recurring fees (including management fees) were deducted and all dividends and distributions were reinvested. The performance of Class P, Class H, and Class L shares will vary from the Class I shares based upon its different inception date and will be negatively impacted by additional fees assessed to these classes.

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 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 return and principal value will fluctuate so that Portfolio shares, when redeemed, may 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. Performance of share classes will vary due to difference in sales charges and expenses.

(1)JP Morgan EMBI Global Bond Index /JP Morgan GBI-EM Global Diversified Bond Index is a custom index represented by performance of the JP Morgan EMBI Global Bond Index (which tracks the performance U.S. dollar - denominated debt instruments issued by emerging markets) for periods from the Portfolio’s inception to September 30, 2007 and the JP Morgan GBI-EM Global Diversified Bond Index (which tracks local currency government bonds issued by emerging markets) for periods thereafter. 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 Emerging Markets Debt Funds Index is an equally weighted performance index of the largest qualifying funds (based on net assets) in the Lipper Emerging Markets Debt 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 10 funds represented in this Index. As of the date of this report, the Portfolio is in the Lipper Emerging Markets Debt Funds classification.

2009 Annual Report

December 31, 2009

Notes to Financial Statements

Morgan Stanley Institutional Fund, Inc. (the “Fund”) is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), as an open-end management investment company. The Fund is comprised of fifteen separate, active, diversified and non-diversified portfolios (individually referred to as a “Portfolio”, collectively as the “Portfolios”). The Fund offers up to four different classes of shares for certain Portfolios — Class I shares, Class P shares, Class H shares and Class L shares. Each Portfolio (with the exception of the Global Real Estate and Emerging Markets Debt Portfolios), offers two classes of shares — Class I and Class P. Global Real Estate and Emerging Markets Debt Portfolios offer Class I shares, Class P shares, Class H shares and Class L shares. Each class of shares has identical voting rights (except shareholders of each Class have exclusive voting rights regarding any matter relating solely to that particular 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 domestic and international equity portfolios is to seek capital appreciation by investing in equity and equity-related securities. Generally, the investment objective of the international fixed income portfolio is primarily to seek a high total return by investing in fixed income securities.

The Fund has suspended offering shares of the Small Company Growth Portfolio to new investors. The Fund will continue to offer shares of the Portfolio to existing shareholders. The Fund may recommence offering shares of the Portfolio to new investors in the future.

On October 2, 2009, Global Franchise Portfolio acquired the net assets of Global Value Equity Portfolio, an open-end investment company, pursuant to a plan of reorganization approved by the Global Value Equity Portfolio shareholders on August 27, 2009. The purpose of the transaction was to combine two portfolios managed by Morgan Stanley Investment Management Inc. with comparable investment ojectives and strategies. The acquisition was accomplished by a tax-free exchange of 2,103,020 shares of Class I and 628,864 shares of Class P of the Global Franchise Portfolio, valued at approximately $34,731,000 including $6,273,000 in unrealized appreciation, for 2,403,290 shares of Class I and 718,339 shares of Class P of Global Value Equity Portfolio at October 2, 2009. The investment portfolio of Global Value Equity Portfolio, with a fair value of approximately $33,771,000 and identified cost of approximately $27,497,000 on October 2, 2009, was the principal asset acquired by Global Franchise Portfolio. For financial reporting purposes, assets received and shares issued by the Global Franchise Portfolio were recorded at fair value; however, the cost basis of the investments received from Global Value Equity Portfolio was carried forward to align ongoing reporting of Global Franchise Portfolio’s realized and unrealized gains and losses with amounts distributable to shareholders for tax purposes. Immediately prior to the reorganization, the net assets of Global Franchise Portfolio were approximately $91,183,000. Immediately after the merger, the net assets of the Global Franchise Portfolio were approximately $125,914,000.

Assuming the acquisition had been completed on January 1, 2009, the beginning of the annual reporting period of Global Franchise Portfolio, Global Franchise Portfolio’s pro forma results of operations for the year ended December 31, 2009, are as follows:

Net Investment Income(1)	$	2,098,000
Net gain (loss) on investments(2)	$	(1,814,000	)
Net increase (decrease) in net assets resulting from operations	$	284,000

(1) $1,467,000 as reported, plus $600,000 Global Value Equity premerger, plus $31,000 of estimated pro-forma eliminated expenses.

(2) $(3,246,000) as reported, plus $1,432,000 Global Value Equity premerger.

Because the combined investment portfolios have been managed as a single integrated portfolio since the acquisition was completed, it is not practicable to separate the amounts of revenue and earnings of Global Value Equity Portfolio that have been included in Global Franchise Portfolio’s Statement of Operations since December 31, 2009.

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 the financial statements. U.S. generally accepted accounting principles may require management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Actual results may differ from those estimates.

1.Security Valuation: Securities listed on a foreign exchange are valued at their closing price. Unlisted securities and listed securities not traded on the valuation date for which market quotations are readily available are valued at the mean between the current bid and asked prices obtained from reputable brokers. Equity securities listed on a U.S. exchange are valued at the latest quoted sales price on the valuation date. Equity securities listed or traded on NASDAQ, for which market quotations are available, are valued at the NASDAQ Official Closing Price. Bonds and other fixed income securities may be valued according to the broadest and most representative market. In addition, bonds and other fixed income securities may be valued on the basis of prices provided by a pricing service. The prices provided by a pricing service take into account broker dealer market price quotations for institutional size trading

2009 Annual Report

Notes to Financial Statements (cont’d)

in similar groups of securities, security quality, maturity, coupon and other security characteristics as well as any developments related to the specific securities. Debt securities purchased with remaining maturities of 60 days or less are valued at amortized cost, unless the Board of Directors (the “Directors”) determines such valuation does not reflect the securities’ market value, in which case these securities will be valued at their fair value as determined by the Directors.

All other securities and investments for which market values are not readily available, including restricted securities, and those securities for which it is inappropriate to determine prices in accordance with the aforementioned procedures, are valued at fair value as determined in good faith under procedures adopted by the Directors, although the actual calculations may be done by others. Factors considered in making this determination may include, but are not limited to, information obtained by contacting the issuer, analysts, or the appropriate stock exchange (for exchange-traded securities), analysis of the issuer’s financial statements or other available documents and, if necessary, available information concerning other securities in similar circumstances.

Most foreign markets close before the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE). Occasionally, developments that could affect the closing prices of securities and other assets may occur between the times at which valuations of such securities are determined (that is, close of the foreign market on which the securities trade) and the close of business on the NYSE. If these developments are expected to materially affect the value of the securities, the valuations may be adjusted to reflect the estimated fair value as of the close of the NYSE, as determined in good faith under procedures established by the Directors.

2.Foreign Currency Translation and Foreign Investments: The books and records of the Fund are maintained in U.S. dollars. Foreign currency amounts are translated into U.S. dollars at the mean of the bid and asked prices of such currencies against U.S. dollars last quoted by a major bank, prior to the close of the NYSE, as follows:

·investments, other assets and liabilities-at the prevailing rates of exchange on the valuation date;

·investment transactions, investment income and expenses-at the prevailing rates of exchange on the dates of such transactions.

Although the net assets of the Fund are presented at the foreign exchange rates and market values at the close of the period, the Fund does not isolate that portion of the results of operations arising as a result of changes in the foreign exchange rates from the fluctuations arising from changes in the market prices of securities held at period end. Similarly, the Fund does not isolate the effect of changes in foreign exchange rates from the fluctuations arising from changes in the market prices of securities sold during the period. Accordingly, realized and unrealized foreign currency gains (losses) on investments in securities are included in the reported net realized and unrealized gains (losses) on investment transactions and balances. However, pursuant to U.S. Federal income tax regulations, gains and losses from certain foreign currency transactions and the foreign currency portion of gains and losses realized on sales and maturities of foreign denominated debt securities are treated as ordinary income for U.S. Federal income tax purposes.

Net realized gains (losses) on foreign currency transactions represent net foreign exchange gains (losses) from foreign currency exchange contracts, disposition of foreign currencies, currency gains or losses realized between the trade and settlement dates on securities transactions, and the difference between the amount of investment income and foreign taxes recorded on the Fund’s books and the U.S. dollar equivalent amounts actually received or paid. Net unrealized currency gains (losses) from valuing foreign currency denominated assets and liabilities at period end exchange rates are reflected as a component of unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities.

The change in net unrealized currency gains (losses) for the period is reflected on the Statements of Operations.

Foreign security and currency transactions may involve certain considerations and risks not typically associated with those of U.S. dollar denominated transactions as a result of, among other factors, fluctuations of exchange rates in relation to the U.S. dollar, the possibility of lower levels of government supervision and regulation of foreign securities markets and the possibility of political or economic instability.

Governmental approval for foreign investments may be required in advance of making an investment under certain circumstances in some countries, and the extent of foreign investments in domestic companies may be subject to limitation in other countries. Foreign ownership limitations also may be imposed by the charters of individual companies to prevent, among other concerns, violations of foreign investment limitations. As a result, an additional class of shares (identified as “Foreign” in the Portfolio of Investments) may be created and offered for investment. The “local” and “foreign shares” market values may differ. In the absence of trading of the foreign shares in such markets, the Fund values the foreign shares at the closing exchange price of the local shares. Such securities, if any, are identified as fair valued on the Portfolio of Investments.

3.Derivatives: Certain Portfolios may use derivative instruments for a variety of purposes, including hedging, risk management, portfolio management or to earn income. Derivatives are financial instruments whose value is based on the value of another underlying asset, interest rate, index or financial instrument. A derivative instrument often has risks similar to its underlying instrument and may have additional risks, including imperfect correlation between the value of the derivative and the underlying instrument, risks of default by the other party to certain transactions, magnification of losses incurred due to changes in the market value of the securities, instruments, indices or interest rates to which they relate, and risks that the transactions may not be liquid. The use of derivatives involves risks that are different from, and possibly greater than, the risks associated with other portfolio investments. Derivatives may involve the use of highly specialized instruments that require investment techniques and risk analyses different from those associated with other portfolio investments. All of a Portfolio’s holdings, including derivative instruments, are marked to market each day with the change in value reflected in unrealized appreciation (depreciation). Upon disposition, a realized gain or loss is generally recognized.

Certain derivative transactions may give rise to a form of leverage. Leverage associated with derivative transactions may cause the Portfolios to liquidate portfolio positions when it may not be advantageous to do so to satisfy its obligations or to meet earmarking or segregation requirements, pursuant to applicable SEC rules and regulations, or may cause the Portfolios to be more volatile than if the Portfolios had not been leveraged. Although the Investment Adviser and/or Sub-Adviser seek to use derivatives to further the Portfolios’ investment objectives, there is no assurance that the use of derivatives will achieve this result.

Following is a description of the derivative instruments and techniques that each Portfolio may use and their associated risks:

Futures. In respect to futures, a Portfolio is subject to equity risk, interest rate risk and foreign currency exchange risk in the normal course of pursuing its investment objectives. A futures contract is a standardized agreement between two parties to buy or sell a specific quantity of an underlying instrument at a specific price at a specific future time. The value of a futures contract tends to increase and decrease in tandem with the value of the underlying instrument. Futures contracts are bilateral agreements, with both the purchaser and the seller equally obligated to complete the transaction. Depending on the terms of the particular contract, futures contracts are settled through either physical delivery of the underlying instrument on the settlement date or by payment of a cash settlement amount on the settlement date. During the period the futures contract is open, payments are received from or made to the broker based upon changes in the value of the contract (the variation margin). The risk of loss associated with a futures contract is in excess of the variation margin reflected as part of “Due from (to) Broker” on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. A decision as to whether, when and how to use futures involves the exercise of skill and judgment and even a well conceived futures transaction may be unsuccessful because of market behavior or unexpected events. In addition to the derivatives risks discussed above, the prices of futures can be highly volatile, using futures can lower total return, and the potential loss from futures can exceed a Portfolio’s initial investment in such contracts.

Options. In respect to options, a Portfolio is subject to equity risk, interest rate risk and foreign currency exchange risk in the normal course of pursuing its investment objectives. If a Portfolio buys an option, it buys a legal contract giving it the right to buy or sell a specific amount of the underlying instrument or futures contract on the underlying instrument such as a security, currency or index, at an agreed upon price typically in exchange for a premium paid by the Portfolio. A Portfolio may purchase put and call options. Purchasing call options tends to increase a Portfolio’s exposure to the underlying (or similar) instrument. Purchasing put options tends to decrease a Portfolio’s exposure to the underlying (or similar) instrument. When entering into purchased option contracts, a Portfolio bears the risk of interest or exchange rates or securities prices moving unexpectedly, in which case, a Portfolio may not achieve the anticipated benefits of the purchased option contracts; however the risk of loss is limited to the premium paid. Purchased options are reported as part of “Total Investments” on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Premium paid for purchasing options which expired are treated as realized losses. If a Portfolio sells an option, it sells to another party the right to buy from or sell to the Portfolio a specific amount of the underlying instrument or futures contract on the underlying instrument at an agreed upon price typically in exchange for a premium received by the Portfolio. A Portfolio may write call and put options on stock indexes, futures, securities or currencies it owns or in which it may invest. Writing put options tend to increase a Portfolio’s exposure to the underlying instrument. Writing a call options tend to decrease a Portfolio’s exposure to the underlying instruments. When a Portfolio writes a call or put option, an amount equal to the premium received is recorded as a liability. Any liability recorded is subsequently adjusted to reflect the current

152

Notes to Financial Statements (cont’d)

value of the options written. Premiums received from writing options which expire are treated as realized gains. Premiums received from writing options which are exercised or are closed are added to or offset against the proceeds or amount paid on the transaction to determine the net realized gain or loss. A Portfolio as a writer of an option has no control over whether the underlying future, security or currency may be sold (call) or purchased (put) and as a result bears the market risk of an unfavorable change in the price of the future, security or currency underlying the written option. There is the risk a Portfolio may not be able to enter into a closing transaction because of an illiquid market. A decision as to whether, when and how to use options involves the exercise of skill and judgment and even a well conceived option transaction may be unsuccessful because of market behavior or unexpected events. The prices of options can be highly volatile and the use of options can lower total returns.

Swaps. In respect to swaps, a Portfolio is subject to equity risk, interest rate risk and credit risk in the normal course of pursuing its investment objectives. A swap agreement is an agreement between two parties pursuant to which the parties exchange payments at specified dates on the basis of a specified notional amount, with the payments calculated by reference to specified securities, indexes, reference rates, currencies or other instruments. Most swap agreements provide that when the period payment dates for both parties are the same, the payments are made on a net basis (i.e., the two payment streams are netted out, with only the net amount paid by one party to the other). A Portfolio’s obligations or rights under a swap agreement entered into on a net basis will generally be equal only to the net amount to be paid or received under the agreement, based on the relative values of the positions held by each counterparty. In a zero-coupon interest rate swap, payment only occurs at maturity, at which time one counterparty pays the total compounded fixed rate over the life of the swap and the other pays the total compounded floating rate that would have been earned had a series of floating rate investments been rolled over through the life of the swap. Swap agreements are not entered into or traded on exchanges and there is no central clearing or guaranty function for swaps. Therefore, swaps are subject to credit risk or the risk of default or non-performance by the counterparty. Swaps could result in losses if interest rate or foreign currency exchange rates or credit quality changes are not correctly anticipated by a Portfolio or if the reference index, security or investments do not perform as expected. When a Portfolio has an unrealized loss on a swap agreement, the Portfolio has instructed the custodian to pledge cash or liquid securities as collateral with a value approximately equal to the amount of the unrealized loss. Collateral pledges are monitored and subsequently adjusted if and when the swap valuations fluctuate. Cash collateral is included with “Due from (to) Broker” on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Cash collateral has been offset against open swap agreements under the provisions of Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards CodificationTM (“ASC”) “Balance Sheet” (ASC 210) (formerly known as FIN 39). Offsetting of Amounts Related to Certain Contracts an interpretation of ASC 210-20 (formerly known as APB No. 10 and SFAS 105) and are included within “Swap Agreements, at Value” on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. For cash collateral received, a Portfolio pays a monthly fee to the counterparty based on the effective rate for Federal Funds. This fee, when paid, is included within realized gain (loss) on swap agreements on the Statement of Operations.

The Portfolios adopted the provisions of the FASB ASC 815-10, “Derivatives and Hedging” (“ASC 815-10”) (formerly known as SFAS 133-1) and ASC 460-10, “Guarantees” (“ASC 460-10”) (formerly known as FIN 45-4): An Amendment of FASB ASC 815 (formerly known as SFAS 133) and ASC 460 (formerly known as FIN 45), effective December 31, 2008. ASC 815-10 and ASC 460-10 require the seller of credit derivatives to provide additional disclosure about its credit derivatives. The Portfolios’ use of swaps may include those based on the credit of an underlying security and commonly referred to as “credit default swaps. Where a Portfolio is the buyer of a credit default swap agreement, it would be entitled to receive the par (or other agreed-upon) value of a referenced debt obligation from the counterparty to the agreement only in the event of a default by a third party on the debt obligation. If no default occurs, a Portfolio would have paid to the counterparty a periodic stream of payments over the term of the agreement and received no benefit from the agreement. When a Portfolio is the seller of a credit default swap agreement, it receives the stream of payments but is obligated to pay upon default of the referenced debt obligation. The current credit rating of each individual issuer is listed in the table following the Portfolio of Investments and serves as an indicator of the current status of the payment/performance risk of the credit derivative. Alternatively, for credit default swaps on an index of credits, the quoted market prices and current values serve as an indicator of the current status of the payment/performance risk of the credit derivative. Generally, lower credit ratings and increasing market values, in absolute terms, represent a deterioration of the credit and a greater likelihood of an adverse credit event of the issuer.

Upfront payments received or paid by a Portfolio will be reflected as an asset or liability on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities.

Structured Investments. Certain Portfolios also may invest a portion of its assets in structured notes and other types of structured investments. A structured note is a derivative security for which the amount of principal repayment and/or interest payments is based on the movement of one or more “factors.” These factors include, but are not limited to, currency exchange rates, interest rates (such as the prime lending rate or LIBOR), referenced bonds and stock indices. Investments in structured notes involve risks including interest rate risk, credit risk and market risk. Changes in interest rates and movement of the factor may cause significant price fluctuations and changes in the reference factor may cause the interest rate on the structured note to be reduced to zero and any further changes in the reference factor may then reduce the principal amount payable on maturity. Other types of structured investments include interests in entities organized and operated for the purpose of restructuring the investment characteristics of underlying investment interests or securities. These investment entities may be structured as trusts or other types of pooled investment vehicles. Holders of structured investments bear risks of the underlying investment and are subject to counterparty risk. Certain structured investments may be thinly traded or have a limited trading market and may have the effect of increasing a Portfolio’s illiquidity to the extent that a Portfolio, at a particular point in time, may be unable to find qualified buyers for these securities.

Foreign Currency Forward Contracts. In connection with its investments in foreign securities, a Portfolio also may enter into contracts with banks, brokers or dealers to purchase or sell securities or foreign currencies at a future date (“forward contracts”). A foreign currency forward contract is a negotiated agreement between the contracting parties to exchange a specified amount of currency at a specified future time at a specified rate. The rate can be higher or lower than the spot rate between the currencies that are the subject of the contract. Forward foreign currency exchange contracts may be used to protect against uncertainty in the level of future foreign currency exchange rates or to gain or modify exposure to a particular currency. In addition, a Portfolio may use cross currency hedging or proxy hedging with respect to currencies in which a Portfolio has or expects to have portfolio or currency exposure. Cross currency hedges involve the sale of one currency against the positive exposure to a different currency and may be used for hedging purposes or to establish an active exposure to the exchange rate between any two currencies. A currency exchange contract is marked-to-market daily and the change in market value is recorded by a Portfolio as unrealized gain or loss. A Portfolio records realized gains (losses) when the contract is closed 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. Hedging a Portfolio’s currency risks involves the risk of mismatching a Portfolio’s objectives under a forward or futures contract with the value of securities denominated in a particular currency. Furthermore, such transactions reduce or preclude the opportunity for gain if the value of the currency should move in the direction opposite to the position taken. There is an additional risk to the effect that currency contracts create exposure to currencies in which a Portfolio’s securities are not denominated. Unanticipated changes in currency prices may result in poorer overall performance for a Portfolio than if it had not entered into such contracts.

The Portfolios adopted FASB ASC 815, “Derivatives and Hedging: Overall” (“ASC 815”) (formerly known as SFAS 161), effective December 31, 2008. ASC 815 is intended to improve financial reporting about derivative instruments by requiring enhanced disclosures to enable investors to better understand how and why the Portfolios use derivative instruments, how these derivative instruments are accounted for and their effects on each Portfolio’s financial position and results of operations.

The following table sets forth the fair value of each Portfolio’s derivative contracts by primary risk exposure as of December 31, 2009.

All open derivative positions at period end are reflected on each respective Portfolio’s Portfolio of Investments and the volume of these open positions relative to the net assets of each respective Portfolio is generally representative of open positions throughout the reporting period.

4.Loan Agreements: Certain Portfolios may invest in fixed and floating rate loans (“Loans”) arranged through private negotiations between an issuer of sovereign debt obligations and one or more financial institutions (“Lenders”) deemed to be creditworthy by the investment adviser. A Portfolio’s investments in Loans may be in the form of participation in Loans (“Participation”) or assignments of all or a portion of Loans (“Assignments”) from third parties. A Portfolio’s investment in a Participation typically results in the Portfolio having a contractual relationship with only the Lender and not with the borrower. The Portfolios have the right to receive payments of principal, interest and any fees to which it is entitled only upon receipt by the Lender of the payments from the borrower. The Portfolios generally have no right to enforce compliance by the borrower under the terms of the loan agreement. As a result, the Portfolio may be subject to the credit risk of both the borrower and the Lender that is selling the Participation and any intermediaries between the Lender and the Portfolio. When a Portfolio purchases Assignments from Lenders, it typically acquires direct rights against the borrower on the Loan. Because Assignments are arranged through private negotiations between potential assignees and potential assignors, the rights and obligations acquired by the Portfolio as the purchaser of an Assignment may differ from, and be more limited than, those held by the assigning Lender.

5.Short Sales: Certain Portfolios may sell securities short. A short sale is a transaction in which a Portfolio sells securities it may or may not own, but has borrowed, in anticipation of a decline in the market price of the securities. The Portfolio is obligated to replace the borrowed securities at the market price at the time of replacement. The Portfolio may have to pay a premium to borrow the securities as well as pay any dividends or interest payable on the securities until they are replaced. Dividends and interest payable on such securities sold short are included in dividend expense and interest expense, respectively, in the Statements of Operations. A Portfolio’s obligation to replace the securities borrowed in connection with a short sale will generally be secured by collateral deposited with the broker that consists of cash, U.S. government securities or other liquid, high grade debt obligations. In addition, the Portfolio will either designate on the Portfolio’s records or place in a segregated account with its Custodian an amount of cash, U.S. government securities or other liquid high grade debt obligations equal to the difference, if any, between (1) the market value of the securities sold at the time they were sold short and (2) cash, U.S. government securities or other liquid high grade debt obligations deposited as collateral with the broker in connection with the short sale. Short sales by the Portfolios involve certain risks and special considerations. Possible losses from short sales differ from losses that could be incurred from the purchase of a security, because losses from short sales may be unlimited, whereas losses from purchases cannot exceed the total amount invested.

At December 31, 2009, the Portfolios did not have any outstanding short sales.

6.Securities Lending: Certain Portfolios may lend securities to qualified financial institutions, such as broker-dealers, to earn additional income. Any increase or decrease in the fair value of the securities loaned that might occur and any interest earned or dividends declared on those securities during the term of the loan would remain in the Portfolio. Portfolios that lend securities receive cash or securities as collateral in an amount equal to or exceeding 100% of the current fair value of the loaned securities. The collateral is marked to market daily, by the securities lending agent, to ensure that a minimum of 100% collateral coverage is maintained.

Based on pre-established guidelines, the securities lending agent invests any cash collateral that is received in an affiliated money market portfolio and repurchase agreements backed by U.S. Treasury and Agency securities. Securities lending income is generated from the earnings on the invested collateral and borrowing fees, less any rebates owed

to the borrowers and compensation to the lending agent, and is included in the Portfolios’ Statements of Operations in affiliated dividend income and interest income. Risks in securities lending transactions are that a borrower may not provide additional collateral when required or return the securities when due, and that the value of the short-term investments will be less than the amount of cash collateral plus any rebate that is required to be returned to the borrower.

The value of loaned securities and related collateral outstanding at December 31, 2009 are as follows:

Portfolio	Value of Loaned Securities (000)	Value of Collateral* (000)
Active International Allocation	$  51,787	$  54,111
Emerging Markets	140,543	147,121
International Equity	307,513	321,768
International Growth Equity	4,883	5,109

* Included in the amount of approximately $15,000 for the Active International Allocation Portfolio, which was received in the form of short-term pooled securities, which the Portfolio cannot sell or repledge and accordingly are not reflected in the Portfolios of Investments.

The following Portfolios had income from securities lending (after rebates to borrowers and fees paid to securities lending agent):

Portfolio	Net Interest Earned by Portfolio (000)
Active International Allocation	$   665
Emerging Markets	857
Global Real Estate**	429
International Equity	3,828
International Growth Equity	53
International Real Estate**	614
U.S. Real Estate**	232
Emerging Markets Debt**	2

** At December 31, 2009, the Emerging Markets Debt Portfolio, Global Real Estate Portfolio, International Real Estate Porfolio and U.S. Real Estate Portfolio had no outstanding securities on loan.

7.Repurchase Agreements: The 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 Fund, along with other affiliated investment companies, may utilize a joint trading account for the purpose of entering into repurchase agreements.

8.Unfunded Commitments: Subject to the terms of a Subscription Agreement between the U.S. Real Estate Portfolio and BRCP REIT I, LLC the Portfolio has made a subscription commitment of $7,000,000 for which it will receive 7,000,000 shares of common stock. As of December 31, 2009, BRCP REIT I, LLC has drawn down approximately $6,101,000 which represents 87.2% of the commitment.

9.Redemption Fees: The following redemption fees are designed to protect each Portfolio and its shareholders from the effects of short-term trading. Shares of the Active International Allocation, Emerging Markets, International Equity, International Growth Equity, International Real Estate, International Small Cap, Small Company Growth and Emerging Markets Debt Portfolios redeemed within 30 days of purchase may be subject to a 2% redemption fee. These fees, if any, are included on the Statements of Changes in Net Assets.

10.Restricted Securities: Certain Portfolios may invest in unregistered or otherwise restricted securities. The term restricted securities refers to securities that are unregistered or are held by control persons of the issuer and securities that are subject to contractual restrictions on their resale. As a result, restricted securities may be more difficult to value and the Portfolio may have difficulty disposing of such assets either in a timely manner or for a reasonable price. In order to dispose of an unregistered security, the Portfolio, where it has contractual rights to do so, may have to cause such security to be registered. A considerable period may elapse between the time the decision is made to sell the security and the time the security is registered so that the Portfolio could sell it. Contractual restrictions on the resale of securities vary in length and scope and are generally the result of a negotiation between the issuer and acquirer of the securities. The Portfolio would, in either case, bear market risks during that period. Restricted Securities are identified in the Portfolio of Investments.

11.Fair Value Measurement: In accordance with FASB ASC 820 “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosure” (“ASC 820”) (formerly known as SFAS 157), 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 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 securities, 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.

12.Other: Security transactions are accounted for on the date the securities are purchased or sold for financial reporting purposes. Realized gains (losses) on the sale of investment securities are determined on the specific identified cost basis. Dividend income and distributions are recorded on the ex-dividend date (except for certain foreign dividends which may be recorded as soon as the Fund is informed of such dividends) net of applicable withholding taxes. Interest income is recognized on the accrual basis except where collection is in doubt. Discounts and premiums on securities purchased are amortized according to the effective yield method 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 or other appropriate measures. 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.

Certain Portfolios may own shares of real estate investment trusts (“REITs”) which report information on the source of their distributions annually. A portion of distributions received from REITs during the year is estimated to be a return of capital and is recorded as a reduction of their cost.

B. Investment Advisory Fees: Morgan Stanley Investment Management Inc. (the “Adviser” or “MS Investment Management”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Morgan Stanley, provides the Fund with investment advisory services under the terms of an Investment Advisory Agreement (the “Agreement”) at the annual rates of the average daily net assets indicated below.

The Adviser has entered into Sub-Advisory Agreements with Morgan Stanley Investment Management Limited and Morgan Stanley Investment Management Company (each a “Sub-Adviser”), each a wholly-owned subsidiary of Morgan Stanley.

purchase and sales orders. The Adviser pays the Sub-Advisers on a monthly basis a portion of the net advisory fees the Adviser receives from the Portfolios which receive these services.

C. Administration Fees: MS Investment Management (the “Administrator”) also provides the Fund with administrative services pursuant to an administration agreement for a monthly fee, which on an annual basis equals 0.08% of the average daily net assets of each Portfolio. Under an agreement between the Administrator and JPMorgan Investor Services Co. (“JPMIS”), a corporate affiliate of JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., JPMIS provides certain administrative services to the Fund. For such services, the Administrator pays JPMIS a portion of the fee the Administrator receives from the Fund. Administration costs (including out-of-pocket expenses) incurred in the ordinary course of providing services under the administration agreement, except pricing services and extraordinary expenses, are covered under the administration fee. In addition, the Fund incurs local administration fees in connection with doing business in certain emerging market countries.

D. Distribution and Shareholder Servicing Fees: Morgan Stanley Distribution, Inc. (“MSDI” or the “Distributor”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Adviser, and an indirect subsidiary of Morgan Stanley, serves as the Fund’s Distributor of Portfolio shares pursuant to a Distribution agreement. The Fund had adopted Shareholder Service Plans with respect to Class P and Class H shares pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act. Under the Shareholder Service Plans, each applicable Portfolio pays the Distributor a shareholder servicing fee, accrued daily and paid monthly, at an annual rate of 0.25% of the Portfolio’s average daily net assets attributable to Class P and Class H shares.

In addition, the Fund has adopted a Distribution and Shareholder Service Plan with respect to Class L shares pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act. Under the Distribution and Shareholder Service Plan, each applicable Portfolio pays the Distributor a distribution fee, accrued daily and paid monthly, at an annual rate of 0.50% and a shareholder servicing fee, accrued daily and paid monthly, at an annual rate of 0.25% of the Portfolio’s average daily net assets attributable to Class L shares.

The distribution and shareholder servicing fees are used to support the expenses associated with servicing and maintaining accounts. The Distributor may compensate other parties for providing shareholder support services to investors who purchase Class P, Class H and Class L shares.

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: JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. (the “Custodian”) serves as Custodian for the Fund in accordance with a custodian agreement. The Custodian holds cash, securities, and other assets of the Fund as required by the 1940 Act. The Fund has entered into an arrangement with its Custodian whereby credits realized on uninvested cash balances were used to offset a portion of each applicable Portfolio’s expenses. These custodian credits are shown as “Expense Offset” on the Statements of Operations.

H. Federal Income Taxes: It is each Portfolio’s intention to qualify as a regulated investment company and distribute all of its taxable and tax-exempt income. Accordingly, no provision for Federal income taxes is required in the financial statements. Dividend income and distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date.

A Portfolio may be subject to taxes imposed by countries in which it invests. Such taxes are generally based on income and/or capital gains earned or repatriated. Taxes are accrued based on net investment income, net realized gains and net unrealized appreciation as income and/or capital gains are earned. Taxes may also be based on the movement of foreign currency and are accrued based on the value of investments denominated in such currency.

FASB ASC 740-10 “Income taxes — Overall” (formerly known as 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. 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 December 31, 2009, 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 2009 and 2008 were as follows:

	2009 Distributions Paid From:		2008 Distributions Paid From:
Portfolio	Ordinary Income (000)	Long-term  Capital  Gain  (000)	Ordinary  Income  (000)	Long-term Capital  Gain  (000)
Active International Allocation	$  13,563	$         —	$      9,170	$   40,185
Emerging Markets	27,600	—	46,243	110,850

International Growth Equity	1,065	—	1,891	267
International Real Estate	16,605	—	152	5,259

U.S. Small/Mid Cap Value	27	—	31	—
Emerging Markets Debt	361	—	989	—

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 generally due to differing book and tax treatments for the timing of the recognition of gains (losses) on certain investment transactions and the timing and the deductibility of certain expenses.

Permanent differences, primarily due to differing treatments of gains (losses) related to REIT adjustments, foreign currency transactions, foreign futures and options transactions, short sales, defaulted bonds, paydown adjustments, return of capital from certain securities, expiring capital losses, distribution redesignations, foreign taxes paid on capital gains, net operating losses, nondeductible expenses, certain equity securities designated as issued by “passive foreign investment companies” and excess distributions resulted in the following

Cap Growth Portfolio after limitations pursuant to Internal Revenue Code, Section 383. This acquired capital loss carryforward is expected to expire in 2010.

During the year ended December 31, 2009, the Global Franchise Portfolio and the Large Cap Relative Value Portfolio expired capital loss carryforwards for U.S. Federal income tax purposes of approximately $1,693,000 and $16,090,000, respectively.

During the year ended December 31, 2009, the Small Company Growth Portfolio utilized capital loss carryforwards for U.S. Federal income tax purposes of approximately $14,439,000.

To the extent that capital loss carryovers are used to offset any future capital gains realized during the carryover period as provided by U.S. Federal income tax regulations, no capital gains tax liability will be incurred by a Portfolio for gains realized and not distributed. To the extent that capital gains are offset, such gains will not be distributed to the shareholders.

Net capital, passive investment company (PFIC), and currency losses incurred after October 31, and within the taxable year are deemed to arise on the first day of the Portfolio’s next taxable year. For the year ended December 31, 2009, the Portfolio deferred to January 4, 2010 for U.S. Federal income tax purposes, post-October capital, PFIC and currency losses as indicated:

Portfolio	Capital Losses (000)	Currency Losses (000)		PFIC Losses (000)

@ Amount is less than $500.

I. Contractual Obligations: The Fund enters into contracts that contain a variety of indemnifications. The Fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown. However, the Fund has not had prior claims or losses pursuant to these contracts and expects the risk of loss to be remote.

J. Other (unaudited): The net assets of certain Portfolios include foreign denominated securities and currency. Changes in currency exchange rates will affect the U.S. dollar value of and investment income from such securities. Further, at times certain of the Portfolios’ investments are concentrated in a limited number of countries and regions. This concentration may further increase the risk of the Portfolio.

Global Real Estate, International Real Estate and U.S. Real Estate Portfolios invest a significant portion of their assets in securities of real estate investment trusts (REITs). The market’s perception of prospective declines in private real estate values and other financial assets may result in increased volatility of market prices that can negatively impact the valuation of certain issuers held by the Portfolios.

The Emerging Markets Debt Portfolio holds a significant portion of its investments in securities which are traded by a small number of market makers who may also be utilized by the Portfolio to provide pricing information used to value such investments. The amounts realized upon disposition of these securities may differ from the value reflected on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities.

Settlement and registration of foreign securities transactions may be subject to significant risks not normally associated with investments in the United States. In certain markets, including Russia, ownership of shares is defined according to entries in the issuer’s share register. In Russia, currently no central registration system exists and the share registrars may not be subject to effective state supervision. It is possible that a Portfolio could lose its share registration through fraud, negligence or even mere oversight. In addition, shares being delivered for sales and cash being paid for purchases may be delivered before the exchange is complete. This may subject the Portfolio to further risk of loss in the event of counterparty’s failure to complete the transaction.

At December 31, 2009, certain Portfolios had otherwise unaffiliated record owners of 10% or greater. Investment activities of these shareholders could have a material impact on these Portfolios.

These Portfolios and the aggregate percentage of such owners were as follows:

		Percentage of Ownership
Portfolio	Class I			Class P		Class H		Class L
Active International Allocation	—		%	22.1	%	—	%	—	%

K. Subsequent Events: In accordance with the provisions set forth in FASB ASC 855 “Subsequent Events” (formerly known as SFAS 165), adopted by the Portfolios as of June 30, 2009, management has evaluated the possibility of subsequent events existing in the Portfolios’ financial statements through February 25, 2010.

On January 8, 2010, the Directors of the Portfolios approved the conversion for Fund Accounting, Custody, Fund Administration and Securities Lending services from JPMorgan Investor Services Co. to State Street Bank and Trust Company. The conversion is expected to be completed in or about the second quarter of 2010.

Morgan Stanley announced on October 19, 2009, that it has entered into a definitive agreement to sell substantially all of its retail asset management business to Invesco Ltd. (“Invesco”), a leading global investment management company. Subsequently, in December 2009 the Directors approved an Agreement and Plan of Reorganization with respect to the Portfolio (the “Plan”). Pursuant to the Plan, substantially all of the assets of the International Growth Equity, Large Cap Relative Value and U.S. Small/Mid Cap Value Portfolios would be combined with those of a newly organized mutual fund advised by an affiliate of Invesco (the “New Portfolio”). Pursuant to the Plan, stockholders of the Portfolios would become shareholders of the New Portfolio, receiving shares of such New Portfolio equal to the value of their holdings in the Portfolios. The Plan is subject to the approval of the Portfolio’s stockholders at a special meeting of stockholders anticipated to be held during the second quarter of 2010. A proxy statement formally detailing the proposal and information concerning the New Portfolio is anticipated to be distributed to stockholders of the Portfolios during the first quarter of 2010.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the Shareholders and Board of Directors of
Morgan Stanley Institutional Fund, Inc.

We have audited the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities of Active International Allocation Portfolio, Emerging Markets Portfolio, Global Franchise Portfolio, Global Real Estate Portfolio, International Equity Portfolio, International Growth Equity Portfolio, International Real Estate Portfolio, International Small Cap Portfolio, Capital Growth Portfolio, Focus Growth Portfolio, Large Cap Relative Value Portfolio, Small Company Growth Portfolio, U.S. Real Estate Portfolio, U.S. Small/Mid Cap Value Portfolio and Emerging Markets Debt Portfolio, (the “Portfolios”) (fifteen of the Portfolios comprising Morgan Stanley Institutional Fund, Inc.), including the portfolios of investments, as of December 31, 2009, and the related statements of operations for the year then ended, the statements of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, and the financial highlights for each of the periods indicated therein. 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 December 31, 2009, by correspondence with the custodian and broker, or by other appropriate auditing procedures where replies from brokers were not received. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of each of the aforementioned portfolios comprising Morgan Stanley Institutional Fund, Inc. at December 31, 2009, the results of their operations for the year then ended, the statements of changes in their net assets for each of the two years in the period 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 service has received general pre-approval, it will require specific pre-approval by the Audit Committee (or by any member of the Audit Committee to which pre-approval authority has been delegated) if it is to be provided by the Independent Auditors. Any proposed services exceeding pre-approved cost levels or budgeted amounts will also require specific pre-approval by the Audit Committee.

The appendices to this Policy describe the Audit, Audit-related, Tax and All Other services that have the general pre-approval of the Audit Committee. The term of any general pre-approval is 12 months from the date of pre-approval, unless the Audit Committee considers and provides a different period and states otherwise. The Audit Committee will annually review and pre-approve the services that may be provided by the Independent Auditors without obtaining specific pre-approval from the Audit

(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.

Committee. The Audit Committee will add to or subtract from the list of general pre-approved services from time to time, based on subsequent determinations.

The purpose of this Policy is to set forth the policy and procedures by which the Audit Committee intends to fulfill its responsibilities. It does not delegate the Audit Committee’s responsibilities to pre-approve services performed by the Independent Auditors to management.

The Fund’s Independent Auditors have reviewed this Policy and believes that implementation of the Policy will not adversely affect the Independent Auditors’ independence.

2.Delegation

As provided in the Act and the SEC’s rules, the Audit Committee may delegate either type of pre-approval authority to one or more of its members. The member to whom such authority is delegated must report, for informational purposes only, any pre-approval decisions to the Audit Committee at its next scheduled meeting.

3.Audit Services

The annual Audit services engagement terms and fees are subject to the specific pre-approval of the Audit Committee. Audit services include the annual financial statement audit and other procedures required to be performed by the Independent Auditors to be able to form an opinion on the Fund’s financial statements. These other procedures include information systems and procedural reviews and testing performed in order to understand and place reliance on the systems of internal control, and consultations relating to the audit. The Audit Committee will approve, if necessary, any changes in terms, conditions and fees resulting from changes in audit scope, Fund structure or other items.

In addition to the annual Audit services engagement approved by the Audit Committee, the Audit Committee may grant general pre-approval to other Audit services, which are those services that only the Independent Auditors reasonably can provide. Other Audit services may include statutory audits and services associated with SEC registration statements (on Forms N-1A, N-2, N-3, N-4, etc.), periodic reports and other documents filed with the SEC or other documents issued in connection with securities offerings.

The Audit Committee has pre-approved the Audit services in Appendix B.1. All other Audit services not listed in Appendix B.1 must be specifically pre-approved by the Audit Committee (or by any member of the Audit Committee to which pre-approval has been delegated).

4.Audit-related Services

Audit-related services are assurance and related services that are reasonably related to the performance of the audit or review of the Fund’s financial statements and, to the extent they are Covered Services, the Covered Entities or that are traditionally performed by the Independent Auditors. Because the Audit Committee believes that the provision of Audit-related services does not impair the independence of the auditor and is consistent with the SEC’s rules on auditor independence, the Audit Committee may grant general

pre-approval to Audit-related services. Audit-related services include, among others, accounting consultations related to accounting, financial reporting or disclosure matters not classified as “Audit services”; assistance with understanding and implementing new accounting and financial reporting guidance from rulemaking authorities; agreed-upon or expanded audit procedures related to accounting and/or billing records required to respond to or comply with financial, accounting or regulatory reporting matters; and assistance with internal control reporting requirements under Forms N-SAR and/or N-CSR.

The Audit Committee has pre-approved the Audit-related services in Appendix B.2. All other Audit-related services not listed in Appendix B.2 must be specifically pre-approved by the Audit Committee (or by any member of the Audit Committee to which pre-approval has been delegated).

5.Tax Services

The Audit Committee believes that the Independent Auditors can provide Tax services to the Fund and, to the extent they are Covered Services, the Covered Entities, such as tax compliance, tax planning and tax advice without impairing the auditor’s independence, and the SEC has stated that the Independent Auditors may provide such services.

Pursuant to the preceding paragraph, the Audit Committee has pre-approved the Tax Services in Appendix B.3. All Tax services in Appendix B.3 must be specifically pre-approved by the Audit Committee (or by any member of the Audit Committee to which pre-approval has been delegated).

6.All Other Services

The Audit Committee believes, based on the SEC’s rules prohibiting the Independent Auditors from providing specific non-audit services, that other types of non-audit services are permitted. Accordingly, the Audit Committee believes it may grant general pre-approval to those permissible non-audit services classified as All Other services that it believes are routine and recurring services, would not impair the independence of the auditor and are consistent with the SEC’s rules on auditor independence.

The Audit Committee has pre-approved the All Other services in Appendix B.4. Permissible All Other services not listed in Appendix B.4 must be specifically pre-approved by the Audit Committee (or by any member of the Audit Committee to which pre-approval has been delegated).

7.Pre-Approval Fee Levels or Budgeted Amounts

Pre-approval fee levels or budgeted amounts for all services to be provided by the Independent Auditors will be established annually by the Audit Committee. Any proposed services exceeding these levels or amounts will require specific pre-approval by the Audit Committee. The Audit Committee is mindful of the overall relationship of fees for audit and non-audit services in determining whether to pre-approve any such services.

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.
