Investment Advisory Agreement Approval
Select Global Infrastructure, Asian Equity, Global Advantage, Global Discovery and International Advantage Portfolios ("Portfolios")
At the organizational meeting of the Portfolios, the Board of Directors, including the independent Directors, considered the following factors in approving the Investment Advisory Agreement with respect to the Portfolios:
Nature, Extent and Quality of Services
The Board reviewed and considered the nature and extent of the investment advisory services to be provided by the Adviser (as defined herein) under the advisory agreement, including portfolio management, investment research and equity and fixed income securities trading. The Board reviewed similar information and factors regarding the Sub-Advisers (as defined herein), to the extent applicable. The Board also reviewed and considered the nature and extent of the non-advisory, administrative services to be provided by the Adviser under the administration agreement, including accounting, clerical, bookkeeping, compliance, business management and planning, and the provision of supplies, office space and utilities at the Adviser's expense. (The Adviser and Sub-Advisers together are referred to as the "Adviser" and the advisory, sub-advisory and administration agreements together are referred to as the "Management Agreement.")
The Board reviewed and considered the qualifications of the portfolio managers, the senior administrative managers and other key personnel of the Adviser who will provide the administrative and advisory services to the Portfolios. The Board determined that the Adviser's portfolio managers and key personnel are well qualified by education and/or training and experience to perform the services in an efficient and professional manner. The Board concluded that the nature and extent of the advisory and administrative services to be provided were necessary and appropriate for the conduct of the business and investment activities of the Portfolios and supported its decision to approve the Management Agreement.
Performance, Fees and Expenses of the Portfolios
The Board considered that the Adviser plans to arrange for a public offering of shares of the Portfolios to raise assets for investment and that the offering had not yet begun and concluded that, since the Portfolios currently had no assets to invest (other than seed capital required under the Investment Company Act) and had no track record of performance, this was not a factor it needed to address at the present time.
The Board reviewed the advisory and administrative fee rates (the "management fee rates") proposed to be paid by the Portfolios under the Management Agreement relative to comparable funds advised by the Adviser, when applicable, and compared to their peers as determined by Lipper, Inc., and reviewed the anticipated total expense ratios of the Portfolios. The Board considered that the Portfolios require the Adviser to develop processes, invest in additional resources and incur additional risks to successfully manage the Portfolios and concluded that the proposed management fee rates and anticipated total expense ratios would be competitive with their peer group averages.
Economies of Scale
The Board considered the growth prospects of the Portfolios and the structure of the proposed management fee schedules, which include breakpoints for each of the Portfolios except Select Global Infrastructure. The Board considered that the Portfolios' potential growth was uncertain and concluded that it would be premature to consider economies of scale as a factor in approving the Management Agreement at the present time.
Profitability of the Adviser and Affiliates
Since the Portfolios have not begun operations and have not paid any fees to the Adviser, the Board concluded that this was not a factor that needed to be considered at the present time.
Other Benefits of the Relationship
The Board considered other benefits to the Adviser and its affiliates derived from their relationship with the Portfolios and other funds advised by the Adviser. These benefits may include, among other things, "float" benefits derived from handling of checks for purchases and sales, research received by the Adviser generated from commission dollars spent on funds' portfolio trading and fees for distribution and/or shareholder servicing. Since the Portfolios have not begun operations and have not paid any fees to the Adviser, the Board concluded that these benefits were not a factor that needed to be considered at the present time.

Investment Advisory Agreement Approval (cont'd)
Resources of the Adviser and Historical Relationship Between the Portfolios and the Adviser
The Board considered whether the Adviser is financially sound and has the resources necessary to perform its obligations under the Management Agreement. The Board also reviewed and considered the historical relationship between the Fund and the Adviser, including the organizational structure of the Adviser, the policies and procedures formulated and adopted by the Adviser for managing the Portfolios' operations and the Board's confidence in the competence and integrity of the senior managers and key personnel of the Adviser. The Board concluded that the Adviser has the financial resources necessary to fulfill its obligations under the Management Agreement and that it is beneficial for the Portfolios to enter into this relationship with the Adviser.
Other Factors and Current Trends
The Board considered the controls and procedures adopted and implemented by the Adviser and monitored by the Fund's Chief Compliance Officer and concluded that the conduct of business by the Adviser indicates a good faith effort on its part to adhere to high ethical standards in the conduct of the Fund's business.
General Conclusion
After considering and weighing all of the above factors, the Board concluded that it would be in the best interest of the Portfolios' and their future shareholders to approve the Management Agreement, which will remain in effect for two years and thereafter must be approved annually by the Board of the Fund if it is to continue in effect. In reaching this conclusion the Board did not give particular weight to any single factor referenced above. It is possible that individual Board members may have weighed these factors differently in reaching their individual decisions to approve the Management Agreement.

Performance data quoted assumes that all dividends and distributions, if any, were reinvested and represents past performance, which is no guarantee of future results. Returns do not reflect the deduction of any applicable sales charges for Class H shares. Such costs would lower performance. Current performance may be lower or higher than the figures shown. For the most recent month-end performance figures, please visit www.morganstanley.com/im or call 1-800-548-7786. Investment returns and principal value will fluctuate and fund shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Please keep in mind that high double-digit returns are highly unusual and cannot be sustained.

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, 2010 and held for the entire six-month period.
Actual Expenses
The table below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this table, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the table under the heading entitled "Actual Expenses Paid During Period" to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.
Please note that "Actual Expenses Paid During Period" are grossed up to reflect Portfolio expenses prior to the effect of Expense Offset (See Note F in the Notes to Financial Statements). Therefore, the annualized net expense ratios may differ from the ratio of expenses to average net assets shown in the Financial Highlights.
Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes
The table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on 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).

2010 Annual Report

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.
Performance
For the year ended December 31, 2010, the Portfolio had a total return based on net asset value and reinvestment of distributions per share of 8.95%, 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 7.75%.
Factors Affecting Performance
• For the year ended December 31, 2010, international equities were up nearly 8%, as measured by the MSCI EAFE Index. The emerging markets (up 19%) and Asia ex-Japan (up 17%) led performance, followed by the U.S. and Japan (each up 15%). Europe lagged, with a gain of 4%. On a sector basis within the MSCI EAFE Index, industrials (up 21%) and materials (up 18%) were among the top performers, boosted by the rise in commodity prices during the year. The economically sensitive consumer discretionary (up 20%) and technology (up 15%) sectors also advanced strongly. Financials and utilities declined during the period, down 2% and 5%, respectively. The yen had the strongest move against the U.S. dollar, up 15%, while the British pound and euro fell 3% and 7%, respectively.
• The Portfolio outperformed the Index for the period under review. For the year, emerging markets and cyclical sectors — primarily materials and energy — contributed to performance. However, an allocation to Japan detracted as did the underweights to the U.K. and consumer discretionary. The underweight to Europe was positive and within Europe, the Portfolio was overweight in Germany and underweight peripheral countries such as Ireland, Italy, Portugal, Greece and Spain.
Management Strategies
• Entering 2011, we believe there is a good case for the continuation of the global business cycle based on improving business survey (global PMIs), an uptick in corporate credit and spending, along with significant policy support from the U.S. Federal Reserve and the Obama administration/newly seated Congress. Equity valuations look only moderately expensive based on trailing earnings and roughly in line with their long-term averages based on forward or normalized earnings. On historic price-to-book multiples, global equities look a bit more expensive, indicating to us that the high level of corporate profitability has at least in part been priced in. While we are worried, like many investors, about a short-term pull back from the fourth quarter run-up, commodity price inflation, and continued eurozone sovereign credit tensions, we basically believe (and hope) that 2011 will be a continuation of 2010, i.e., choppy markets that generally grind higher. As in past sideways markets (that is, neither bull nor bear markets) we believe the market will trade with the business cycle as long as inflation seems relatively stable, corporate credit spreads (and sovereign spreads in Europe) stay fairly tight, and there are no negative policy surprises from the Fed/Congress or China.
• Looking for investment opportunities against this backdrop, we continue to keep our cyclical tilt but we have reduced weightings in China and the emerging markets in general, and are looking again at raising our weighting in Japan relative to Europe. We think that the increase in Chinese inflation is broader than just food and oil. Rising costs of Chinese house prices, wages, capital, the renminbi, and inputs will weigh on Chinese corporate margins, but the country's monetary authorities will need to keep gently tightening. For one, the People's Bank of China needs to avoid letting inflation get ahead of them — and two, while trade protectionism has been largely avoided, we think the U.S.'s patience is running thin and currency appreciation will continue. Our recent portfolio move is only tactical, however. The growth rate of the emerging markets is at least double that of the Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) countries, while the market capitalization of China and the other emerging markets is only 25% of global gross domestic product (GDP). It appears that pension plans around the world are looking to increase their allocations to emerging market equities and debt, so unless there is a double-dip recession or another financial crisis, emerging market pullbacks are likely to be buying opportunities, in our opinion.

2010 Annual Report
December 31, 2010 (unaudited)
Investment Overview (cont'd)
Active International Allocation Portfolio
• Our interest in Japanese equities is based on their historically positive correlation with a pick-up in the U.S. manufacturing sector (as measured by the purchasing managers index, or PMI). This pattern failed to materialize earlier in 2009 and 2010, but we think that as U.S. and Chinese PMIs reaccelerate, Japanese large-capitalization, export-oriented companies may outperform (especially if the yen weakens). The relative cheapness of Japanese equities adds to this case, but the Japanese domestic economy is on the brink of a recession and the yen could remain strong due to continued domestic deflation and policy neglect. Japanese equities had an uptick in November of 2010 when the Bank of Japan (BOJ) intervened to weaken the yen, but since then the BOJ and Japanese leadership in general have been missing in action. We have cautiously added to our position in Japan with an emphasis on the exporters.
• We continue to hold an overweight position in Germany, though we worry about German unlisted banks and the potential impact of the ongoing eurozone sovereign debt crisis on German growth. We like the strengthening German domestic story (rising retail spending, very low unemployment, and rising export earnings) and Germany's reasonably priced exposure to global industrials. In our view, a weaker euro is likely to benefit German exports (offsetting some of Germany's eurozone bailout costs) and may lead to a bit of domestic asset inflation and wage growth.
• From a medium-term perspective, we are somewhat bemused that after the heart-stopping global financial crisis there has not been further progress and investment discussions on meaningful financial regulation and transparency (such as the shadow banking system and derivatives) and on global monetary imbalances (i.e., the U.S. trade deficit/Chinese surplus and the economic impact of the resulting capital flows). While the reduction of the U.S. budget deficit and the Federal Reserve's balance sheet have been postponed in light of 2010's economic soft patch and the Fed's second round of quantitative easing (QE2), we believe these issues will keep equity markets (and market multiples) capped within a trading range until there is more clarity on their outcome.

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.

Investment Overview (cont'd)
Active International Allocation Portfolio
(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 22 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 was 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 offering 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.

Transfers between investment levels may occur as the markets fluctuate and/or the availability of data used in an investment's valuation changes. The Portfolio recognizes transfers between the levels as of the end of the period. As of December 31, 2010, securities with a total value of approximately $429,304,000 transferred from Level 2 to Level 1. At December 31, 2009, the fair market value of certain securities were adjusted due to developments which occurred between the time of the close of the foreign markets on which they trade and the close of business on the NYSE which resulted in their Level 2 classification.

2010 Annual Report
December 31, 2010 (unaudited)
Investment Overview
Asian Equity Portfolio
The Asian Equity Portfolio (the "Portfolio") seeks long-term capital appreciation by investing primarily in equities securities of companies in the Asia-Pacific region, excluding Japan.
Performance
For the period from inception on December 28, 2010 through December 31, 2010, the Portfolio had a total return of 1.90%, net of fees, for Class I shares. The Portfolio's Class I shares underperformed against its benchmark, the Morgan Stanley Capital International (MSCI) All Country Asia Ex-Japan Index (the "Index") which returned 2.10% for the same period.
Factors Affecting Performance
• The Portfolio launched a few days prior to the close of the reporting period. Such a short time frame would not provide a meaningful performance analysis as short-term returns may not be indicative of the Portfolio's long-term performance potential.
Management Strategies
• The Portfolio seeks long-term capital appreciation and integrates top-down country allocation and bottom-up stock selection.
• The Portfolio will invest primarily in listed equity securities in markets within the Asia ex-Japan universe across the full market-cap range. At the close of the period, the Portfolio had a relative overweight exposure to South Korea and underweight exposures to Singapore and Taiwan.

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.
Performance
For the year ended December 31, 2010, the Portfolio had a total return based on net asset value and reinvestment of distributions per share of 18.49%, net of fees, for 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 18.88%.
Factors Affecting Performance
• Emerging markets ended the year positively with a fourth quarter return of 7.34% (as measured by the MSCI Emerging Markets Net Index), continuing their trend of outperforming the developed markets as measured by the MSCI World Index. For the year, Emerging Europe, Middle East and Africa (EMEA) was the best relative performing region (+23.55%) as South Africa (+34.21%) Turkey (+20.81%) and Russia (+19.07) offset negative performance in Hungary (-9.58%) and the Czech Republic (-2.53%). Positive performance in Emerging Asia (+18.98%) was driven by Thailand (+55.71%), Malaysia (+37.01%) and Indonesia (+33.93%). Performance in Latin America (+14.66%) was led by Peru (+53.32%), Chile (+44.16%) and Colombia (+43.41).
• The main contributors to the Portfolio's performance relative to the Index during the period included stock selection in India, Brazil, Korea, Egypt and Indonesia. Underweight allocations to China, Brazil and Russia also bolstered relative returns, as did overweight allocations to Thailand and Indonesia.
• Detracting from relative gains, however, was stock selection in Russia, Taiwan, Mexico, China and Poland. Performance was further hampered by relative underweight positions in Chile, Malaysia, Colombia and Korea, as well as an overweight allocation to Egypt.
Management Strategies
• In 2010, we positioned the Portfolio to try to capitalize on sources of stable growth in a global environment that we expected would be challenged by sluggish recoveries in much of the developed world, the widespread pulling back of many fiscal stimulus programs, and our concerns about both China's asset price inflation and its slower economic growth in the future. We were overweight in countries such as Indonesia, Poland, the Philippines and Egypt, where we expected domestic demand to remain robust, driven by a number of constructive factors — including low consumer leverage, healthy savings rates, steadily rising income on a per capita basis, and increasing access to credit linked to both accommodative monetary policy and reform benefiting consumers.
• Toward the end of 2010, we began to decrease our overweight to financials generally as well as our overweight in Turkey and India. We increased our overweight in the Philippines and further decreased our underweight to China. We reduced our financials weighting in anticipation of negative market reaction to rising inflation and the risk of central bank tightening in certain countries. While still positive on Turkey's strong gross domestic product (GDP), we trimmed our overweight on inflation concerns and the risk of central bank tightening, given historically low interest rates. While still positive on India's endogenous economic growth, we decreased our overweight slightly on concerns about inflation, the widening trade deficit and the dependence on capital flows to fund the current account deficit.
• We were overweight in those countries benefiting from higher growth and improving consumption patterns. This included Indonesia, which has a robust domestic economy that showed positive momentum aided by a low cost of borrowing. The political environment remains positive with the majority-supported president committed to ongoing reforms and investment friendly initiatives. We were also overweight in the Philippines, as we saw domestic confidence gain momentum, exports and overseas worker remittances remained strong, and help in transforming the current account deficit into surplus.
• In Eastern Europe, we continued to focus on those countries with strong GDP growth, supported by such sustainable drivers as increasing investments, productivity gains and solid balance sheets. In

Investment Overview (cont'd)
Emerging Markets Portfolio
Egypt we were encouraged that income per capita, while low, was rising steadily from a very low base, consumers have virtually no leverage and consumption is rising on both income and growing access to credit.
• In Latin America, we remained underweight in Brazil, where we saw lofty valuations on domestic stocks, a likely deterioration in the outlook for commodities in the next 12 months and possible resumption of the interest rate hiking cycle. We were also underweight in Chile where the post-earthquake economic recovery was sharp, partly due to significant policy support. However, monetary policy normalization has begun and earnings are likely to moderate over the next 12 months.
• Broadly speaking, as long as the developed market central banks keep real interest rates low, we believe capital should continue to flow to the best growth opportunities. This would allow many emerging markets countries to resume the high level of growth they experienced during the 2003-2007 expansion cycle, which was supported by widespread access to cheap financing. Aside from the short-term impact from the second round of the Federal Reserve's quantitative easing program, the trends shaping the investment universe this year are likely to continue, in our opinion.
• Within emerging markets, there was an investor bias for quality in 2010. Growth stocks, particularly in the small- to mid-cap range and in the consumer sectors, are increasingly commanding attention within emerging markets. We expect quality growth names to continue to outperform larger, in many cases value-oriented, names.
* 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.

Investment Overview (cont'd)
Emerging Markets Portfolio
(1) The Morgan Stanley Capital International (MSCI) Emerging Markets Net 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 Net Index currently consists of 21 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.

Transfers between investment levels may occur as the markets fluctuate and/or the availability of data used in an investment's valuation changes. The Portfolio recognizes transfers between the levels as of the end of the period. As of December 31, 2010, securities with a total value of approximately $1,101,773,000 transferred from Level 2 to Level 1. At December 31, 2009, the fair market value of certain securities were adjusted due to developments which occurred between the time of the close of the foreign markets on which they trade and the close of business on the NYSE which resulted in their Level 2 classification.
Following is a reconciliation of investments in which significant unobservable inputs (Level 3) were used in determining fair value.

2010 Annual Report

Investment Overview
Global Advantage Portfolio
The Global Advantage Portfolio (the "Portfolio") seeks long-term capital appreciation by investing primarily in established companies located throughout the world, with capitalizations within the range of companies included in the MSCI All Country World Index.
Performance
For the period from inception on December 28, 2010 through December 31, 2010, the Portfolio had a total return of 0.10%, net of fees, for Class I shares. The Portfolio's Class I shares underperformed against its benchmark, the Morgan Stanley Capital International (MSCI) All Country World Index (the "Index") which returned 0.63% for the same period.
Factors Affecting Performance
• The Portfolio launched a few days prior to the close of the reporting period. Such a short time frame would not provide a meaningful performance analysis as short-term returns may not be indicative of the Portfolio's long-term performance potential.
Management Strategies
• In 2010, concerns about the U.S. economy and the financial conditions of several debt-ridden European nations intensified worries about the global economy's recovery and led to increased volatility in the marketplace. Our focus on free cash flow yield and rising return on capital led us to invest the Portfolio in high-quality names. We were confident in the long-term prospects of the positions we held in the Portfolio, given these companies' attractive valuations and strong balance sheets.
• As a team, we believe having a market outlook can be an anchor. Our focus remains on assessing company prospects over three to five years, and owning a portfolio of high-quality companies with diverse business drivers not tied to a particular market environment.

2010 Annual Report

Investment Overview
Global Discovery Portfolio
The Global Discovery Portfolio (the "Portfolio") seeks long-term capital appreciation by investing primarily in established and emerging franchise companies located throughout the world, with capitalizations within the range of companies included in the MSCI All Country World Index.
Performance
For the period from inception on December 28, 2010 through December 31, 2010, the Portfolio had a total return of -0.30%, net of fees, for Class I shares. The Portfolio's Class I shares underperformed against its benchmark, the Morgan Stanley Capital International (MSCI) All Country World Index (the "Index") which returned 0.63% for the same period.
Factors Affecting Performance
• The Portfolio launched a few days prior to the close of the reporting period. Such a short time frame would not provide a meaningful performance analysis as short-term returns may not be indicative of the Portfolio's long-term performance potential.
Management Strategies
• In 2010, concerns about the U.S. economy and the financial conditions of several debt-ridden European nations intensified worries about the global economy's recovery and led to increased volatility in the marketplace. Our focus on free cash flow yield and rising return on capital led us to invest the Portfolio in high-quality names. We were confident in the long-term prospects of the positions we held in the Portfolio, given these companies' attractive valuations and strong balance sheets.
• As a team, we believe having a market outlook can be an anchor. Our focus remains on assessing company prospects over three to five years, and owning a portfolio of high-quality companies with diverse business drivers not tied to a particular market environment.

2010 Annual Report
December 31, 2010 (unaudited)
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.
Performance
For the year ended December 31, 2010, the Portfolio had a total return based on net asset value and reinvestment of distributions per share of 14.07%, net of fees, for Class I shares. The Portfolio's Class I shares outperformed against its benchmark, the Morgan Stanley Capital International (MSCI) World Index (the "Index"), which returned 11.76%.
Factors Affecting Performance
• The equity market "risk lever" lurched hard to "on" in December after the Obama stimulus and Irish debt packages were unveiled at the beginning of the month, leading the MSCI World Index to a strong finish to a manic-depressive "risk on, risk off" trading year. The December 7.4% return put the Index 11.8% ahead for the year.
• 2010 was also a year that experienced one of the highest levels of stock correlation ever — greater even than that during the Lehman Brothers crisis. Markets have largely responded to three themes — a second round of quantitative easing in the U.S., debt-ridden countries around the European periphery, and BRIC (Brazil, Russia, India, and China) growth — with stocks fluctuating according to their perceived interrelation with these themes, often in contrast to their actual relevance. This is both a source of frustration and opportunity for stock pickers. It is frustrating when stocks are rewarded or punished when longer-term fundamentals (that we obsess over) do not justify such moves. On the other hand, market volatility can often present buying opportunities for investment candidates.
• The Portfolio posted strong absolute and relative performance over the full year.
• Although stock selection in consumer discretionary and underweight allocations to the top-performing materials and industrials sectors detracted from performance for the year, this was more than offset by strong stock selection in and the allocation to consumer staples, and the underweight allocation to financials, one of the weakest-performing sectors.
• The portfolio's underweight in health care and no exposure to the worst performing utilities sector also added to performance for the year.
• Positive contributors to performance during the period were British American Tobacco, Swedish Match, and Nestle.
• The largest detractors were Wolters Kluwer, McGraw-Hill and Experian.
Management Strategies
• During the year, we sold out of Starbucks, Ebay, Fortune Brands, Career Education, Wolters Kluwer and McGraw-Hill. We initiated positions in Mead Johnson, Admiral, Accenture, Microsoft, Visa, Herbalife and Davide Compari.
• We do remain nervous about the potential contortions of markets subject to the macroeconomic pressures created from the titanic struggle between central banks' quantitative easing and the Western world's need to reduce debt. However, we also remain convinced that finding companies whose long-term fortunes are relatively free from such market disturbance — companies with high return on invested capital, pricing power, high-quality management and a conservative financial structure — are important and vastly underrated attributes in today's hyper-competitive and unpredictable world.
• We remain focused on the Global Franchise philosophy of investing. We look for companies with high-quality franchises, built on dominant and durable intangible assets, which possess pricing power and low capital intensity. This involves investing in well-run companies that capitalize on their intangible assets to compound shareholder wealth at a superior rate over the long-term. We follow a disciplined investment process based on fundamental analysis and bottom-up stock selection with sector, industry and stock weights driven by an assessment of each stock's quality and value characteristics. The end result is a concentrated portfolio aimed at earning attractive absolute returns with less volatility than the broader markets.

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) 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 24 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.
(3) Total returns for the Portfolio reflect fees waived and expenses reimbursed, if applicable, by the Adviser. Without such waivers and/or 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
Global Opportunity Portfolio
The Global Opportunity Portfolio (the "Portfolio") seeks long-term capital appreciation by investing primarily in established and emerging franchise companies located throughout the world, with capitalizations within the range of companies included in the MSCI All Country World Index.
Performance
On May 21, 2010, the Global Opportunity Portfolio acquired the assets/liabilities and adopted the financial and performance history of the Van Kampen Global Growth Fund (the "Predecessor Fund") (the "Reorganization").
Beginning with the fiscal period ended December 31, 2010, the fiscal year end for this Portfolio will be for periods ended December 31. Prior to December 31, 2010, the fiscal year was reported and audited as of March 31. The last audited fiscal year was for the twelve months ended March 31, 2010.
The financial highlights included in this annual report cover the period from April 1, 2010 to December 31, 2010.
For the period from April 1, 2010 to December 31, 2010, the Portfolio had a total return based on net asset value and reinvestment of distributions per share of 21.51%, net of fees, for Class I shares. During the period, the Portfolio's Class I shares outperformed against its benchmark, the Morgan Stanley Capital International (MSCI) All Country World Index (the "Index"), which returned 9.25%, and the MSCI All Country World Growth Index, which returned 11.71%. (Note, the performance of the Portfolio's Class I shares for the period April 1, 2010 to December 31, 2010 reflects, for the period prior to the Reorganization, the historical performance of Class I shares of the Predecessor Fund.)

• Global equity markets were volatile in the period from April 1, 2010 through December 31, 2010, but generally finished the period higher as investors gained confidence that the U.S. and global economies would likely avoid a double-dip recession, at least for the time being. Optimism was based on a number of factors including the U.S. Federal Reserve's decision to implement a second round of Treasury bond purchases (known as quantitative easing), bailouts for debt-laden Greece and Ireland, and some improved economic data in the U.S. However, serious challenges to global growth remained. Investors continue to wait for a turnaround in the U.S. housing and jobs markets, and government debt at the state and local levels is a major concern. Although the risk of default in the peripheral European countries lessened, investors will be watching how Europe tackles its structural problems. Inflation and runaway growth in emerging market economies also remain a concern.
• For the reporting period, the Portfolio outperformed the Index. Both stock selection and an overweight in consumer discretionary contributed positively to relative performance, led by exposure to the consumer durables and apparel industry.
• Both stock selection and an underweight in financials benefited relative performance, particularly in the diversified financials industry.
• Stock selection in information technology was favorable, although an overweight in the sector dampened relative returns. Within the sector, the software and services industry was the most additive.
• Conversely, stock selection in health care hampered relative performance, but relative weakness was somewhat mitigated by the benefit of an underweight in the sector. The sector's primary detractor was in the health care equipment and services industry.
• Both stock selection and an underweight in energy were disadvantageous to relative returns. Within the sector, our exposure to a natural gas producer negatively affected relative performance.
• Avoidance of telecommunication services stocks also hurt relative performance.
Management Strategies
• We seek to invest in high-quality established and emerging franchise companies that we believe have sustainable competitive advantages and strong normalized free cash flow yields and are undervalued at the time of investment. We find these companies through rigorous fundamental analysis. We focus on long-term growth rather than short-term events.
• As a team, we believe having a market outlook can be an anchor. Our focus remains on assessing company prospects over three to five years, and owning a portfolio of high-quality companies with diverse business drivers not tied to a particular market environment.

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) The Morgan Stanley Capital International (MSCI) All Country World Index (ACWI) is a free float-adjusted market capitalization weighted index designed to measure the equity market performance of developed and 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 Portfolio's primary benchmark was changed in June 2010 from the MSCI All Country World Growth Index to the MSCI All Country World Index because the Adviser believes the MSCI All Country World Index is a more appropriate benchmark for the Portfolio.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 All Country (MSCI AC) World Growth Index is a free float-adjusted market capitalization weighted index that is designed to measure the equity market performance of global growth stocks of developed and 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 AC World Growth Index currently consists of 48 country indices comprising 23 developed and 25 emerging market indices. 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) 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. There are currently 10 funds represented in this Index. As of the date of this Prospectus, the Portfolio is in the Lipper Global Multi-Cap Growth Funds classification.
(4) 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. The Adviser has agreed to waive or reimburse all or a portion of the Portfolio's advisory fees and/or other expenses, excluding investment related expenses, for at least one year. The Distributor has agreed to waive for at least one year the 12b-1 fee on Class L shares of the Portfolio to the extent it exceeds 0.30% of the average daily net assets of such shares on an annualized basis.
(5) On May 21, 2010 Class A, Class B, Class C, and Class I shares of Van Kampen Global Growth Fund ("the Predecessor Fund") were reorganized into Class H, Class H, Class L, and Class I shares of Morgan Stanley Global Growth Portfolio ("the Portfolio"), respectively. Class H, Class L, and Class I shares' returns of the Portfolio will differ from the Predecessor Fund as they have different expenses. Performance shown for the Portfolio's Class I, Class H, and Class L shares reflects the performance of the shares of the Predecessor Fund for periods prior to May 21, 2010. The Class A, C, and I shares of the Predecessor Fund commenced operations on May 30, 2008. Class P shares commenced operations on May 21, 2010. Performance for Class H shares has been restated to reflect the Fund's applicable sales charge. In October 2010, the Morgan Stanley Global Growth Portfolio changed its name to the Morgan Stanley Global Opportunity Portfolio.

2010 Annual Report
December 31, 2010 (unaudited)
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).
Performance
For the year ended December 31, 2010, the Portfolio had a total return based on net asset value and reinvestment of distributions per share of 20.22%, net of fees, for Class I shares. The Portfolio's Class I shares performed in-line with its benchmark, the FTSE EPRA/NAREIT Developed Real Estate Index — Net Total Return to U.S. Investors (the "Index"), which returned 20.17%, and outperformed the MSCI World Index, which returned 11.76%.
Factors Affecting Performance
• The global real estate securities market gained 20.17% in the 12-month period ending December 31, 2010, as measured by the FTSE EPRA/NAREIT Developed Real Estate Index — Net Total Return to U.S. Investors, but is still down approximately 25% from peak levels. For most of the period, the sector continued the strong recovery that began in mid-March 2009. After declining in January on concerns over the sustainability of the global economic recovery, continued fiscal difficulties in Greece and new banking regulations in the U.S., the global real estate securities market posted significant gains through April. The gains appeared to be driven by an improved global economic outlook and continued improvements in capital market conditions. Subsequently, the sector declined through June along with the broader equity markets, which fell on concerns over the sustainability of the global economic recovery and the European sovereign debt crisis. For the remainder of the period, share prices appeared to be mostly influenced by the rally in the equity market.
• Among the three regional portfolios, the U.S. and Asian portfolios contributed to performance while the European portfolio detracted. Global allocation among the regional portfolios and cash held in the Portfolio detracted. In Asia, the Portfolio benefited from stock selection in Hong Kong and Singapore; this was partially offset by the impact of stock selection in Japan. In Europe, the Portfolio benefited from stock selection in France and the Netherlands and the underweight to Belgium; this was offset by the effects of stock selection within and the overweight to the U.K. and the underweight to Sweden. In the U.S, the Portfolio benefited from stock selection within and the overweight to the hotel and apartment sectors, and stock selection in the office sector; this was partially offset by the impact of stock selection in the shopping center sector.
Management Strategies
• The Portfolio is comprised of three regional 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 portfolios reflects our core investment philosophy as a real estate value investor, which results in the ownership of stocks that 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, 2010, the Portfolio was overweight in the Asian listed property sector, modestly overweight in the European listed property sector and underweight in the U.S. listed property sector.
• The overweight to the Asian region was predominated by the real estate operating companies (REOCs) in Hong Kong and Japan. We expect underlying property fundamentals and values for prime assets in key markets within Hong Kong to experience stronger improvements than other markets given relatively low vacancy, strong tenant demand and limited new supply over the next few years. The Hong Kong REOCs ended the period trading at meaningful discounts to NAV after adjusting for NAV growth based on continued strong rental growth for the office and retail sectors. In Japan, rents and occupancy, which have reached trough levels, are expected to have stabilized for prime assets in the major wards in Central Tokyo. The Japanese REOCs traded at the widest discounts to NAV on a global basis, even after recent share

price gains. We continue to maintain a preference for the major REOCs with predominant exposure to prime assets given 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 have more limited access to financing and maintain predominant exposure to secondary assets. The Portfolio was underweight in the Australian LPT (listed property trust) sector, which traded at modest discounts to NAV.
• In Europe, the Portfolio was overweight in the U.K. and underweight in the Continent. Valuations on the Continent ended the period trading at a premium to NAV based on reported NAVs, which only reflect marginal asset value declines since the start of the credit crisis. Valuations in the U.K. continued to trade at a discount to reported NAVs, which have started to recover after experiencing significant declines since June 2007.
• The Portfolio was underweight the U.S., which traded at a premium to NAVs which reflect an approximate 20% decline in asset values from peak levels. Within the U.S., the Portfolio was overweight to a group of companies that are focused in the ownership of apartment properties and upscale urban hotels and underweight to companies concentrated in the ownership of industrial, suburban office and health care assets.
• In contrast to the relatively more stable outlook for underlying property fundamentals and valuations in most markets in Asia, prospects for underlying property fundamentals in the U.S. and Europe remain uncertain, although asset values appear to be recovering from trough levels on the back of continued improvements in capital market conditions. A key issue remains achieving greater clarity on asset values. There continued to be only modest product available for sale, with the number of buyers far exceeding the number of sellers, and liquidity continues to build on the sidelines. It is noteworthy that the performance gap between prime and secondary assets continues to widen. For prime assets with a stable income stream, the market is witnessing stronger investor demand at increasingly aggressive bids. In addition, these assets are generally benefiting from relatively more favorable underlying property fundamentals. In contrast, for secondary assets, the wide bid-ask spread appears to be a key factor for the stagnant investment market, and underlying property fundamentals for these assets are generally weaker. 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, the magnitude of asset value declines has narrowed from previous expectations. 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.

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 Real Estate Index — Net Total Return to US Investors 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 US 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) 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 24 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) The Lipper Global Real Estate Funds Average tracks the performance of all funds in the Lipper Global Real Estate Funds classification. The Average, which is adjusted for capital gains distributions and income dividends, is unmanaged and should not be considered an investment. As of the date of this report, the Portfolio was in the Lipper Global Real Estate Funds classification.
(4) 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.

The Portfolio recognizes transfers between the levels as of the end of the period. As of December 31, 2010, securities with a total value of approximately $689,478,000 transferred from Level 2 to Level 1. At December 31, 2009, the fair market value of certain securities were adjusted due to developments which occurred between the time of the close of the foreign markets on which they trade and the close of business on the NYSE which resulted in their Level 2 classification.

Investment Overview
International Advantage Portfolio
The International Advantage Portfolio (the "Portfolio") seeks long-term capital appreciation by investing primarily in established companies on an international basis, with capitalizations within the range of companies included in the MSCI All Country World Ex-U.S. Index.
Performance
For the period from inception on December 28, 2010 through December 31, 2010, the Portfolio had a total return of -0.10%, net of fees, for Class I shares. The Portfolio's Class I shares underperformed against its benchmark, the Morgan Stanley Capital International (MSCI) All Country World — ex-U.S. Index (the "Index") which returned 1.10% for the same period.
Factors Affecting Performance
• The Portfolio launched a few days prior to the close of the reporting period. Such a short time frame would not provide a meaningful performance analysis as short-term returns may not be indicative of the Portfolio's long-term performance potential.
Management Strategies
• In 2010, concerns about the U.S. economy and the financial conditions of several debt-ridden European nations intensified worries about the global economy's recovery and led to increased volatility in the marketplace. Our focus on free cash flow yield and rising return on capital led us to invest the Portfolio in high-quality names. We were confident in the long-term prospects of the positions we held in the Portfolio, given these companies' attractive valuations and strong balance sheets.
• As a team, we believe having a market outlook can be an anchor. Our focus remains on assessing company prospects over three to five years, and owning a portfolio of high-quality companies with diverse business drivers not tied to a particular market environment.

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.
Performance
For the year ended December 31, 2010, the Portfolio had a total return based on net asset value and reinvestment of distributions per share of 6.08%, 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 7.75%.
Factors Affecting Performance
• Equity markets performed strongly in December after the Obama stimulus and Irish debt packages were unveiled at the beginning of the month. The Index returned 8.1% in December, enhanced by the almost 3% U.S. dollar depreciation against local market currencies, leading the Index to finish the year strongly, with a 7.8% gain for the 12-month review period. Over the month, sectors sensitive to commodities, principally materials and energy, performed well, alongside industrials and financials. Lower beta telecommunications, health care and utilities predictably lagged, as did consumer staples, a sector where the Portfolio is considerably overweight.
• For the year, eight out of the 10 sectors of the Index finished in positive territory. Industrials, consumer discretionary, materials and information technology outperformed the Index while telecoms, health care and energy underperformed. The lower-beta sectors of telecoms and health care lagged. The energy sector also underperformed, while utilities and financials were the worst-performing sectors for the 12-month period.
• The Portfolio registered slight relative outperformance over the month and final quarter, but moderately underperformed the Index for the full year. For the period overall, the effect of the Portfolio's strong stock selection in and underweight to financials (particularly banks and insurance companies) was the biggest contributor to relative performance. This was followed by stock selection in industrials and the overweight to consumer staples.
• The Portfolio's stock selection in and underweight to materials (underweight hard commodities and exposure to construction) and consumer discretionary (underweight European autos) were the largest detractors on a relative basis for the 12-month period.
• In addition, the Portfolio had a hedge out of the U.K. pound and into the euro mid-year using currency forwards. This detracted from performance during the 12-month period.
Management Strategies
• 2010 was not, in sum, rewarding for the Portfolio in terms of adding substantial relative performance, but there have been fairly significant changes to its overall shape that we hope have set it up well for the future.
• By far the most significant shift in our aggregate exposure has been the increase in financials from just under 12% of the Portfolio at the beginning of 2010 to just short of 20% at its end, though we still remain underweight relative to the Index. The bulk of this increase has been in European financial stocks, particularly in the area of European insurers, which we believe have minimal exposure to potential sovereign debt problems in the PIIGS countries (Portugal, Ireland, Italy, Greece and Spain). By our analysis, these insurers' main asset risk is to the far-healthier corporate debt sector. Additionally, we believe that the managements of European insurers are now focusing on generating higher returns and producing cash, while the market is still ignoring this attribute in favor of concentrating on earnings or book-related valuations.
• Similarly, we have built positions in a number of European banks whose quality, which we judged in terms of capital resilience and profitability supported by a defendable franchise and superior management, is unrecognized in their valuation. While concerns on banks' sovereign bond holdings have worsened, we believe their other key fundamentals have improved significantly over the last year — their capital positions are stronger, the rules of the Basel III regulatory regime are clearer and are to be implemented more slowly than expected, and profitability on lending activity has risen sharply, notably in the U.K.
• On the other hand, our appetite for stocks whose valuations are inflated by their actual or perceived

association with emerging markets remains low. We absolutely do not dispute the notion that the emerging markets will likely remain the driver of both consumer and corporate demand over the medium term, but we have always tried to discriminate between companies that have durable franchises to exploit that demand and those that do not. Generally speaking, we have maintained or increased our allocations to our high-quality defensively positioned companies, particularly if they have clear growth trajectories, and funded this allocation from some of the better performing cyclical names, particularly in Europe.
• Finally, we remain nervous of the potential contortions of markets subject to the sorts of macroeconomic pressures created from the titanic struggle between central banks' quantitative easing and the Western world's need to reduce debt. Further volatility from the bond market, currency market or commodity market is likely. We remain convinced that companies whose fortunes are relatively free from vulnerability to such market disturbance, with pricing power, high-quality management and a conservative financial structure have important and vastly under-valued attributes in today's hyper-competitive and unpredictable world.

(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 22 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 August 4, 1989.
(5) Commenced offering 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.

Transfers between investment levels may occur as the markets fluctuate and/or the availability of data used in an investment's valuation changes. The Portfolio recognizes transfers between the levels as of the end of the period. As of December 31, 2010, securities with a total value of approximately $3,549,363,000 transferred from Level 2 to Level 1. At December 31, 2009, the fair market value of certain securities were adjusted due to developments which occurred between the time of the close of the foreign markets on which they trade and the close of business on the NYSE which resulted in their Level 2 classification.

2010 Annual Report

Investment Overview
International Opportunity Portfolio
The International Opportunity Portfolio (the "Portfolio") seeks long-term capital appreciation by investing primarily in equity securities on an international basis.
Performance
For the period from inception on March 31, 2010 through December 31, 2010, the Portfolio had a total return based on net asset value and reinvestment of distributions per share of 20.70%, net of fees, for Class I shares. The Portfolio's Class I shares outperformed against its benchmark, the MSCI All Country World Index ex-U.S. (the "Index"), which returned 9.42%.
Factors Affecting Performance
• From the Portfolio's launch on March 31, 2010 through December 31, 2010, international equity markets were volatile but finished the calendar year on a positive note. Investors gained confidence that the U.S. and global economies would likely avoid a double-dip recession, at least for the time being. Optimism was based on a number of factors including the U.S. Federal Reserve's decision to implement a second round of Treasury bond purchases (known as quantitative easing), bailouts for debt-laden Greece and Ireland, and some improved economic data in the U.S. However, serious challenges to global growth remained. Investors continue to wait for a turnaround in the U.S. housing and jobs markets, and government debt at the state and local levels is a major concern. Although the risk of default in the peripheral European countries lessened, investors will be watching how Europe tackles its structural problems. Inflation and runaway growth in emerging market economies also remain a concern.
• The Portfolio outperformed the Index during the period. Both stock selection and an overweight in consumer discretionary was the largest contributor to relative outperformance. Within the sector, exposure to the consumer durables and apparel industry was the most beneficial.
• Both stock selection and an underweight in financials were advantageous to relative performance, led by the diversified financials industry.
• Stock selection in information technology was additive to relative gains but was offset slightly by the negative impact of an overweight in the sector. Exposure to the software and services industry drove outperformance.
• Conversely, stock selection in health care was the largest detractor from relative returns, caused by the health care equipment and services industry.
• An underweight in telecommunication services was unfavorable as well. The Portfolio held only one telecommunication services stock, which did not underperform during the period. But because we did not own other names within the sector that outperformed more strongly and had less exposure in general to that outperformance, the Portfolio's relative performance lagged.
Management Strategies
• We seek to invest in high-quality established and emerging franchise companies that we believe have sustainable competitive advantages and strong normalized free cash flow yields and are undervalued at the time of investment. We find these companies through rigorous fundamental analysis. We focus on long-term growth rather than short-term events.
• As a team, we believe having a market outlook can be an anchor. Our focus remains on assessing company prospects over three to five years, and owning a portfolio of high-quality companies with diverse business drivers not tied to a particular market environment.

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) The Morgan Stanley Capital International (MSCI) All Country World Index ex U.S. (ACWI) is a free float-adjusted market capitalization weighted index designed to measure the equity market performance of developed and emerging markets, excluding the U.S. 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 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 Growth Funds Index is an equally weighted performance index of the largest qualifying funds (based on net assets) in the Lipper International 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 30 funds represented in this Index. As of the date of this report, the Portfolio was in the Lipper International Multi-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.
(4) Commenced operations on March 31, 2010.
(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. Returns for periods less than one year are not annualized.

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).
Performance
For the year ended December 31, 2010, the Portfolio had a total return based on net asset value and reinvestment of distributions per share of 9.51%, net of fees, for Class I shares. The Portfolio's Class I shares underperformed against its benchmark, the FTSE EPRA/NAREIT Developed ex-North America Real Estate — Net Total Return Index, which returned 14.55% (the "Index"), the FTSE EPRA/NAREIT Global ex-North America Real Estate Index (80% Europe/20% Asia), which returned 10.35%, and outperformed the Morgan Stanley Capital International (MSCI) EAFE Index, which returned 7.75%.
Factors Affecting Performance
• The international real estate securities market posted gains in the 12-month period ending December 31, 2010, but the stocks have still experienced declines from peak levels. European and Asian real estate securities continued the strong recovery that began in mid-March 2009. After declining in January on concerns over the sustainability of the global economic recovery and continued fiscal difficulties in Greece, the international real estate securities market posted significant gains through April. The gains appeared to be driven by an improved global economic outlook and continued improvements in capital market conditions. Subsequently, the sector declined through June alongside the broader equity markets, which fell on concerns over the sustainability of the global economic recovery and the European sovereign debt crisis. For the remainder of the period, share prices appeared to be mostly influenced by the rally in the equity market.
• Consistent with the change in the Portfolio's secondary benchmark, from the FTSE EPRA/NAREIT Global ex-North America Real Estate Index (80% Europe/20% Asia) to the FTSE EPRA/NAREIT Developed ex-North America Real Estate — Net Total Return Index on November 1, 2010, the Portfolio substantially increased its exposure to the Asian region and reduced its exposure to the European region during the period.
• Stock selection within and global allocation between the regional portfolios and cash held in the Portfolio detracted. In Asia, the Portfolio benefited from stock selection in Hong Kong; this was offset by stock selection in Japan. In Europe, the Portfolio benefited from stock selection in France and the Netherlands; this was offset by stock selection in the U.K. and the underweight to Sweden.
Management Strategies
• The Portfolio is comprised of two regional portfolios with a global allocation which weights the European and Asian regions based on our view of the relative attractiveness of each region in terms of underlying real estate fundamentals and public market valuations. Moreover, both of the regional portfolios reflect our core investment philosophy as a real estate value investor, which results in the ownership of stocks that 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 ended December 31, 2010, the Portfolio was overweight in the Asian listed property sector and underweight in the European listed property sector. As discussed, the Portfolio substantially increased its exposure to the Asian region and reduced its exposure to the European region during the period.
• The overweight to the Asian region was predominated by the real estate operating companies (REOCs) in Hong Kong and Japan. We expect underlying property fundamentals and values for prime assets in key markets within Hong Kong to experience stronger improvements than other markets given relatively low vacancy, strong tenant demand and limited new supply over the next few years. The Hong Kong REOCs ended the period trading at meaningful discounts to NAV after adjusting for NAV growth based on continued strong rental growth for the office and retail sectors. In Japan, rents and occupancy, which have reached trough levels, are expected to have stabilized for prime assets in the major wards in Central Tokyo. The Japanese REOCs traded at the widest discounts

to NAV on a global basis, even after recent share price gains. We continue to maintain a preference for the major REOCs with predominant exposure to prime assets given 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 have more limited access to financing and maintain predominant exposure to secondary assets. The Portfolio was underweight the Australian LPT (listed property trust) sector, which traded at modest discounts to NAV.
• In Europe, the Portfolio was overweight in the U.K. and underweight in the Continent. Valuations on the Continent ended the period trading at a premium to NAV based on reported NAVs, which only reflect marginal asset value declines since the start of the credit crisis. Valuations in the U.K. continued to trade at a discount to reported NAVs, which have started to recover after experiencing significant declines since June 2007.
• In contrast to the relatively more stable outlook for underlying property fundamentals and valuations in most markets in Asia, prospects for underlying property fundamentals in Europe remain uncertain, although asset values appear to be recovering from trough levels on the back of continued improvements in capital market conditions. A key issue remains achieving greater clarity on asset values. There continued to be only modest product available for sale, with the number of buyers far exceeding the number of sellers, and liquidity continues to build on the sidelines. It is noteworthy that the performance gap between prime and secondary assets continues to widen. For prime assets with a stable income stream, the market is witnessing stronger investor demand at increasingly aggressive bids. In addition, these assets are generally benefiting from relatively more favorable underlying property fundamentals. In contrast, for secondary assets, the wide bid-ask spread appears to be a key factor for the stagnant investment market, and underlying property fundamentals for these assets are generally weaker. 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, the magnitude of asset value declines has narrowed from previous expectations. 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 it 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 — Net Total Return Index is a market capitalization weighted index designed to reflect the stock performance of companies engaged in the 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. The Portfolio's secondary benchmark has changed from the FTSE EPRA/NAREIT Developed ex-North America Real Estate Index (80% Europe 20% Asia) — Net Total Return to U.S. investors to the FTSE EPRA/NAREIT Developed ex-North America Real Estate — Net Total Return Index because the Adviser believes the FTSE EPRA/NAREIT Developed ex-North America Real Estate — Net Total Return Index is a more appropriate benchmark for the Portfolio.
(2) 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.
(3) 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 22 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.
(4) 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.
(5) Commenced operations on October 1, 1997.
(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
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.
Performance
For the year ended December 31, 2010, the Portfolio had a total return based on net asset value and reinvestment of distributions per share of 15.72%, net of fees, for 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 22.04%.
Factors Affecting Performance
• Equity market volatility was high in 2010 as the markets gyrated between largely positive news on corporate earnings, justifiable concerns over the sovereign debt crisis and mixed news on economic growth. Small-cap stocks significantly outperformed large-caps in 2010, with the MSCI EAFE Small Cap Index rising 22.0% against the MSCI EAFE Index gain of 7.8%. For the full year, currencies had a significant influence on returns. The Japanese yen reached a 15-year high against the U.S. dollar in October but retreated in the final months to close the year 12.9% higher. The Australian dollar and Swiss franc rose 12.3% and 9.8%, respectively, against the U.S. dollar. In contrast, the euro (-7.0%) and sterling (-3.1%) weakened as the region came under pressure due to concerns over sovereign debt levels and the likely impact of austerity measures.
• The Asian region closed the final quarter and the year strongly. Japan finished the year up 19.9% but this largely reflected the strong yen as, in local currency terms, Japan was a significant laggard, rising just 4.5% for the year. Australia rose 16.1% in the quarter and 24.7% for the year as it tracked the rise in commodity prices. Outside of resource-related names, however, the performance of many Australian small caps was lackluster and the underlying local return for the year was 9.4%. Hong Kong closed the year up 39.2%, benefiting from both the strong local economy as well as robust growth in China. Europe also produced solid gains in both the final quarter and for 2010 as a whole. The two best-performing markets in Europe were Switzerland, which rose 44%, aided by the strong Swiss franc, and Germany, which posted a return of 26%, constrained by the weaker euro. The Southern European markets and Ireland closed the year in negative territory as the countries confronted the likely implications of living with high sovereign debt levels.
• At a sector level for the year, materials rose 39.6% on a surge in commodity prices, and energy followed with a return of 25.9% as oil prices rose above $90 per barrel. The industrials sector also rose 26.0% on the back of improved cost structures and increased demand, primarily from emerging markets. The consumer discretionary sector followed, which advanced 19.8% in spite of weakness in the first half of the year amid concerns about consumption. Financials underperformed as the Western institutions struggled through the European sovereign debt crisis and the stronger Japanese institutions were ignored by the market. The two largest defensive sectors (consumer staples and health care) underperformed the Index as investors focused instead on sectors that benefited from economic growth.
• The Portfolio experienced strong relative outperformance over the month of December and fourth quarter, but underperformed the Index for the year due to marked weakness in Japanese cyclicals, where the Portfolio is overweight, earlier in the year. For the period overall, the Portfolio benefited from good stock selection in industrials, consumer discretionary and energy. Stock selection in industrials has been a consistently strong contributor, with performance driven by a broad group of companies in both Europe and Japan.
• Stock selection in information technology, consumer staples and financials were the biggest detractors from relative performance.
• The hedge out of the yen into the U.S. dollar, using currency forwards to neutralize the Portfolio's overweight to Japan, also dampened performance.
Management Strategies
• We believe economic activity will continue on an upward trend, albeit at a moderate pace, and have incorporated this view into our bottom-up company analysis. International small caps were a good place to be invested last year and we believe this is likely to continue to be the case as small-cap valuations remain attractive. Moreover, the strong cyclical bias to the small-cap universe is also likely

to support performance as we continue to see signs of an ongoing economic recovery.
• Over the last two years, Japan has been largely ignored by investors and, in our opinion, remains one of the cheapest markets based on price-to-book value. We have remained true to our value discipline in seeking the highest-quality, most lowly valued companies and this has resulted in a sizeable overweight to Japan. Unfortunately, this was costly to performance for much of last year but, since the fourth quarter, finally the Japanese equity market was not a laggard and it would seem that the "penalty" for companies being domiciled in Japan could be disappearing. We believe the Japanese companies held in the Portfolio are, in many cases, world-class, quality franchises, with cash on their balance sheets, and strongly recovering profitability. In addition to the underlying strong company fundamentals, we believe that macro events in Japan could prove to be supportive of Japan continuing to do well.
• Outside of Japan, the other country that we believe is offering increasingly attractive value is Australia. This is a market that we have been underweight for some time due to a lack of both absolute and relative value. Outside of the resources segment, however, this market has lagged significantly and is now offering a number of new value opportunities, in our view. We would expect the Portfolio's underweight to decline over coming months.
• On a sector basis, the Portfolio remains modestly overweight cyclicals. This turned out to be the correct stance over the last year but, given the strong outperformance of cyclicals in recent months, most notably in Europe, we are continuing to take profits. Our screens are now showing a somewhat more balanced picture in terms of potential upside, with some defensive names starting to show comparable upside to cyclical names.
• We are clearly disappointed with the underperformance of the Portfolio in 2010 but we believe the Portfolio is well positioned to add attractive value over the coming months.
* 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.

The MSCI EAFE Small Cap Total Return Index commenced as of January 31, 2002. Returns, including periods prior to January 31, 2002, are calculated using the return data of the MSCI EAFE Small Cap Index through January 30, 2002 and the return data of the MSCI EAFE Small Cap Total Return Index since January 31, 2002. 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 Small/Mid-Cap Value Funds Average tracks the performance of all funds in the Lipper International Small/Mid-Cap Value Funds classification. The Average, which is adjusted for capital gains distributions and income dividends, is unmanaged and should not be considered an investment. As of the date of this report, the Portfolio was in the Lipper International Small/Mid-Cap Value 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.

Investment Overview
Select Global Infrastructure Portfolio
The Select Global Infrastructure Portfolio (the "Portfolio") seeks to provide both capital appreciation and income by primarily investing at least 80% of its assets in equity securities issued by companies located throughout the world that are engaged in the infrastructure business.
Performance
For the period from inception on September 20, 2010 through December 31, 2010, the Portfolio had a total return of 4.94%, net of fees, for Class I shares. The Portfolio's Class I shares underperformed against its benchmark, the Dow Jones Brookfield Global Infrastructure IndexSM (the "Index") which returned 6.06% and the S&P Global BMI Index, which returned 10.82% for the same period.
Factors Affecting Performance
• Infrastructure shares appreciated 6.06% during the period, as measured by the Dow Jones Brookfield Global Infrastructure IndexSM. In December, the sector achieved resilient growth of 3.9%, reversing the decline of 4.0% in November and adding to the 4.7% gain in October and 1.6% return from inception for the partial month of September. Among the major infrastructure sectors, the gas midstream, pipeline companies, and transmission and distribution sectors exhibited relative outperformance, while the gas distribution utilities, communications and, to a lesser extent, European regulated utilities and toll road sectors underperformed the Index. All of the smaller sectors performed in-line with or outperformed the Index.
• While concerns over the health of the European financial system continue to adversely impact (on a relative basis) certain sectors with a high concentration of companies within the European region (e.g., toll roads and European regulated utilities), macroeconomic considerations in other parts of the world also affected infrastructure equities during the period. Most significantly, investor uncertainty about the spillover effects of the Chinese government's attempts to curb inflation on growth in the region hurt Hong Kong- and China-focused infrastructure stocks. The implications of the government's policy were realized most acutely within the gas distribution utilities sector, where increases in natural gas prices were put on hold for certain residential customers of Chinese gas utilities in order to mute inflationary pressures on that customer segment. Gas prices are typically a pass-through cost item within a gas distribution utility's cost structure, so this near-term inability to pass through energy costs should have a negative near-term impact on cash flows for these stocks.
• Away from macroeconomic considerations within the gas distribution utilities, toll roads, and European regulated utilities sectors, positive underlying fundamentals within energy infrastructure continued to provide support for gas midstream companies and, to a more moderate extent, pipeline companies. Relative outperformance for companies in the gas midstream sector is attributable to the resilient demand for and favorable economics associated with drilling for natural gas liquids and crude oil. New drilling by exploration and production companies in liquids-rich areas throughout North America was significant in 2010, and early indications are that this positive fundamental backdrop will continue in 2011. We believe much of the future impact of these positive fundamental trends are already reflected in stock prices; however, we acknowledge that gas midstream and pipeline companies are likely to further benefit in 2011 as they attempt to accommodate exploration and production company needs to gather, process, and transport new product. Furthermore, we note that on a stock-specific basis, a select few of these companies remain quite attractively valued.
• Finally, we attribute strong transmission and distribution sector performance to merger and acquisition activity, the effect of favorable weather trends relative to last year, and increases in cash flow resulting from recent rate case rulings.
• The Portfolio underperformed the Index during the period due to a combination of negative carry produced by cash holdings in an upward trending market and adverse stock selection in certain sectors. More specifically, from a bottom-up perspective, favorable stock selection in the gas midstream sector was more than offset by adverse selection in the transmission and distribution, toll roads and European regulated utilities sectors. From a top-down perspective, the Portfolio benefited from an underweight to the transmission and distribution, gas distribution utilities and European

regulated utilities sectors, which was partially offset by weakness from an underweight to the ports sector and overweight to the communications sector. Cash holdings represented the Portfolio's largest detractor for the period.
Management Strategies
• We have maintained our core investment philosophy as an infrastructure value investor. This results in the ownership of stocks whose share prices provide infrastructure exposure at the best valuation relative to their underlying assets and growth prospects. Our current research leads us to an overweighting in the Portfolio to a group of companies in the toll roads and communications sectors, and an underweighting to companies in the gas distribution utilities, European regulated utilities, airports and ports sectors.
• Looking toward 2011, we believe the outlook for infrastructure stocks remains positive, particularly in the medium to long term. Energy infrastructure remains an area of robust growth, as the demand for energy grows alongside global gross domestic product (GDP), and as U.S. politicians, policy makers and businesses aim to reduce reliance on commodities imported from overseas. In our view, utilities should continue to benefit from both the refurbishment of aging utility systems in developed countries in North America and Western Europe, as well as the buildout of new delivery systems in Asia. We believe a transition to lower carbon-intensive economies in North America and Europe should also benefit the utilities, as renewable power facilities (e.g., wind, solar) and more efficient gas-fired electricity generators replace older, more pollutant coal-fired power plants and need to be connected to the electricity grid. Within transportation (i.e., airports, toll roads, and ports), we anticipate companies in this area will be able to capitalize on many opportunities over the next several years, not only through organic growth resulting from higher volumes of cargo and passengers transported, but also through the acquisition of former government-owned infrastructure assets, as governments privatize airports and toll roads in an attempt to reduce debt and deficits within their jurisdictions. Near term, we understand that concerns over fiscal/debt positions in developed countries, particularly in Western Europe, as well as inflationary pressures in developing markets may negatively impact sentiment and therefore pressure the stock prices of infrastructure assets. However, we believe that as assets with very long economic lives and cash flow resilience throughout economic cycles, infrastructure companies are well positioned to withstand any near-term pressures and should capitalize on opportunities in 2011 and beyond.

Beginning with the fiscal period ended December 31, 2010, the fiscal year end for this Portfolio will be for periods ended December 31. Prior to December 31, 2010, the fiscal year was reported and audited as of August 31. The last audited fiscal year was for the twelve months ended August 31, 2010.
The financial highlights included in this annual report cover the period from September 1, 2010 to December 31, 2010.
For the period from September 1, 2010 to December 31, 2010, the Portfolio had a total return based on net asset value and reinvestment of distributions per share of 19.30%, net of fees, for Class I shares. During the period, the Portfolio's Class I shares underperformed against its benchmark, the Russell 1000® Growth Index (the "Index"), which returned 23.74%.
Factors Affecting Performance
• From September 1, 2010 through the end of the period, the market rallied on anticipation of the Federal Reserve's (the Fed) second round of Treasury bond purchases. With ongoing weakness in employment and the housing market and troubling government debt at the state and local levels, investors believed the Fed's response would help avert a double-dip recession, at least for the time being.
• Our emphasis on high-quality companies with sustainable competitive advantages led to positive results versus broad market and peer averages. Throughout 2010, concerns about the U.S. economy and the financial conditions of several debt-ridden European nations intensified worries about the global economy's recovery and led to increased volatility in the marketplace. We were confident in the long-term prospects of the positions we held in the Portfolio, given these companies' attractive valuations and strong balance sheets. Our focus on free cash flow yield and rising return on capital led us to invest in high-quality names which outperformed despite the volatility in the market place. Going forward, we maintain our three- to five-year outlook and continue seeking to capitalize on compelling opportunities to upgrade the portfolio.
• The Portfolio underperformed the Index during the period. The consumer staples sector was the largest detractor, as both an overweight and stock selection dampened relative performance. Within the sector, exposure to the brewers and distillers industry was the primary cause for the underperformance.
• Both stock selection and an underweight in energy hampered relative performance. The Portfolio's energy positions did not underperform the Index, but given our general underweight and the relative outperformance of other names in the sector that we did not own, our overall exposure detracted from relative performance.
• Both stock selection and an underweight in producer durables hurt relative performance as well. The sector's most detrimental position was in the commercial services industry.
• However, more favorable results from other investments helped offset relative losses. Both stock selection and an overweight in consumer discretionary were notable contributors to relative performance, primarily due to the diversified retail industry.
• Stock selection in technology was also advantageous to relative performance, although an underweight did detract somewhat. Within the sector, the computer technology industry led the outperformance.
• An underweight in health care benefited relative performance, despite the negative impact of stock selection there. The medical equipment industry drove relative gains within the sector.
Management Strategies
• As a team, we believe having a market outlook can be an anchor. Our focus remains on assessing company prospects over three to five years, and owning a portfolio of high-quality companies with diverse business drivers not tied to a particular market environment.

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) The Russell 1000® Growth Index measures the performance of the large-cap growth segment of the U.S. equity universe. It includes those Russell 1000® Index companies with higher price-to-book ratios and higher forecasted growth values. The Russell 1000® Index is an index of approximately 1,000 of the largest U.S. companies based on a combination of 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.
(2) The Lipper Large-Cap Growth Funds Index is an equally weighted performance index of the largest qualifying funds (based on net assets) in the Lipper Large-Cap Growth Funds 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 was in the Lipper 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. The Adviser has agreed to waive or reimburse all or a portion of the Portfolio's advisory fees and/or other expenses, excluding investment related expenses, for at least one year. The Distributor has agreed to waive for at least one year the 12b-1 fee on Class L shares of the Portfolio to the extent it exceeds 0.04% of the average daily net assets of such shares on an annualized basis.
(4) On May 21, 2010 Class A, Class B, Class C, and Class I shares of Van Kampen Core Growth Fund ("the Predecessor Fund") were reorganized into Class H, Class H, Class L, and Class I shares of Morgan Stanley Advantage Portfolio ("the Portfolio"), respectively. Class H, Class L, and Class I shares' returns of the Portfolio will differ from the Predecessor Fund as they have different expenses. Performance shown for the Portfolio's Class I, Class H, and Class L shares reflects the performance of the shares of the Predecessor Fund for periods prior to May 21, 2010. The Class A, C, and I shares of the Predecessor Fund commenced operations on June 30, 2008. Class P shares commenced operations on May 21, 2010. Performance for Class H shares has been restated to reflect the Portfolio's applicable sales charge.

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.
Performance
For the year ended December 31, 2010, the Portfolio had a total return based on net asset value and reinvestment of distributions per share of 23.11%, 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 16.71%.
Factors Affecting Performance
• The stock market finished 2010 higher, as investors gained confidence that the U.S. and global economies would likely avoid a double-dip recession, at least for the time being. Optimism was driven by improvements in some measures of the U.S. economy, although the weak housing market and near-record high unemployment rates continued to hang over the market. Shifting sentiment about Europe's fiscal health caused volatility in the markets, especially early in the year and during the summer months when the problems of some of the heavily indebted peripheral countries appeared to escalate. In late August, U.S. stocks rallied on the prospects of a second round of quantitative easing (buying government bonds to increase money supply) by the Federal Reserve. The market climbed through the remainder of the year as the expectation became a reality and an additional stimulus package was passed by the U.S. Congress.
• Our emphasis on high-quality companies with sustainable competitive advantages led to positive results versus broad market and peer averages. Throughout the year, concerns about the U.S. economy and the financial conditions of several debt-ridden European nations intensified worries about the global economy's recovery and led to increased volatility in the marketplace. We were confident in the long-term prospects of the positions we held in the portfolio, given these companies' attractive valuations and strong balance sheets. Our focus on free cash flow yield and rising return on capital led us to invest in high-quality names which outperformed despite the volatility in the market place. Going forward, we maintain our three- to five-year outlook and continue seeking to capitalize on compelling opportunities to upgrade the portfolio.
• Stock selection and an underweight in technology had the largest positive effect on relative performance. Exposure to the computer technology industry drove gains. Both stock selection and an overweight in consumer discretionary were advantageous to relative performance, with outperformance from the casinos and gambling industry. The health care sector was another source of relative strength, due to stock selection and an underweight in the sector. The medical equipment industry was the sector's leading contributor.
• Conversely, stock selection and an overweight in the materials and processing sector offset relative gains elsewhere. Within the sector, the fertilizer industry was the most detrimental to returns. Stock selection and an underweight in the energy sector also dampened relative performance, primarily due to exposure to natural gas producers. Finally, an overweight in financial services was disadvantageous. However this was somewhat mitigated by good stock selection in the sector, particularly in diversified conglomerates.
Management Strategies
• As a team, we believe having a market outlook can be an anchor. Our focus remains on assessing company prospects over three to five years, and owning a portfolio of high-quality companies with diverse business drivers not tied to a particular market environment.

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.
Performance
For the year ended December 31, 2010, the Portfolio had a total return based on net asset value and reinvestment of distributions per share of 28.23%, 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 16.71%.
Factors Affecting Performance
• The stock market finished 2010 higher, as investors gained confidence that the U.S. and global economies would likely avoid a double-dip recession, at least for the time being. Optimism was driven by improvements in some measures of the U.S. economy, although the weak housing market and near-record high unemployment rates continued to hang over the market. Shifting sentiment about Europe's fiscal health caused volatility in the markets, especially early in the year and during the summer months when the problems of some of the heavily indebted peripheral countries appeared to escalate. In late August, U.S. stocks rallied on the prospects of a second round of quantitative easing (buying government bonds to increase money supply) by the Federal Reserve. The market climbed through the remainder of the year as the expectation became a reality and an additional stimulus package was passed by the U.S. Congress.
• Our emphasis on high-quality companies with sustainable competitive advantages led to positive results versus broad market and peer averages. Throughout the year, concerns about the U.S. economy and the financial conditions of several debt-ridden European nations intensified worries about the global economy's recovery and led to increased volatility in the marketplace. We were confident in the long-term prospects of the positions we held in the portfolio, given these companies' attractive valuations and strong balance sheets. Our focus on free cash flow yield and rising return on capital led us to invest in high-quality names which outperformed despite the volatility in the market place. Going forward, we maintain our three- to five-year outlook and continue seeking to capitalize on compelling opportunities to upgrade the portfolio.
• Although an overweight in technology diminished relative performance, it was more than offset by positive stock selection in the sector. Exposure to the computer technology industry drove gains. Stock selection in consumer discretionary was also advantageous to relative performance, with outperformance from the casinos and gambling industry. The health care sector was another source of relative strength, due to stock selection and an underweight in the sector. The medical equipment industry was the sector's leading contributor.
• Conversely, stock selection and an overweight in the materials and processing sector had the largest negative effect on relative results. Within the sector, the fertilizer industry was the most detrimental to returns. Stock selection and an underweight in the energy sector also dampened relative performance, primarily due to exposure to natural gas producers. An underweight and stock selection in the consumer staples sector were a drag on returns, with weakness from the brewers and distillers industry.
Management Strategies
• As a team, we believe having a market outlook can be an anchor. Our focus remains on assessing company prospects over three to five years, and owning a portfolio of high-quality companies with diverse business drivers not tied to a particular market environment.

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 Russell 1000® Growth Index measures the performance of the large-cap growth segment of the U.S. equity universe. It includes those Russell 1000® Index companies with higher price-to-book ratios and higher forecasted growth values. The Russell 1000® Index is an index of approximately 1,000 of the largest U.S. companies based on a combination of 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.
(2) The Lipper Large-Cap Growth Funds Index is an equally weighted performance index of the largest qualifying funds (based on net assets) in the Lipper 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 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.
(4) Commenced operations on March 8, 1995.
(5) Commenced offering 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.

As of December 31, 2010, securities with a total value of approximately $1,605,000 transferred from Level 2 to Level 1. At December 31, 2009, the fair market value of certain securities were adjusted due to developments which occurred between the time of the close of the foreign markets on which they trade and the close of business on the NYSE which resulted in their Level 2 classification.

Investment Overview
Opportunity Portfolio
The Opportunity Portfolio (the "Portfolio") seeks long-term capital appreciation by investing primarily in established and emerging franchise companies with capitalizations within the range of companies included in the Russell 1000® Growth Index.
Performance
On May 21, 2010, the Opportunity Portfolio acquired the assets/liabilities and adopted the financial and performance history of the Van Kampen Equity Growth Fund.
Beginning with the fiscal period ended December 31, 2010, the fiscal year end for this Portfolio will be for periods ended December 31. Prior to December 31, 2010, the fiscal year was reported and audited as of June 30. The last audited fiscal year was for the twelve months ended June 30, 2010.
The financial highlights included in this annual report cover the period from July 1, 2010 to December 31, 2010.
For the period from July 1, 2010 to December 31, 2010, the Portfolio had a total return based on net asset value and reinvestment of distributions per share of 27.72%, net of fees, for Class H shares. During the period, the Portfolio's Class H shares outperformed against its benchmark, the Russell 1000® Growth Index (the "Index"), which returned 26.37%. Performance does not reflect the deduction of any applicable sales charge.
Factors Affecting Performance
• Improving outlooks for the U.S. and global economies drove equity market gains in the second half of 2010. Expectations for the Federal Reserve (the Fed) to implement a second round of Treasury bond buying were a major factor in the rally. With ongoing weakness in employment and the housing market and troubling government debt at the state and local levels, investors believed the Fed's response would help avert a double-dip recession, at least for the time being.
• The Portfolio outperformed the Index during the period. Stock selection and an overweight in consumer discretionary had the largest positive effect on relative performance, particularly in the diversified retail industry.
• Stock selection in technology was also advantageous to relative performance. The Portfolio's exposure to the computer technology industry led the sector's outperformance.
• An underweight in health care was favorable to relative performance, although the Portfolio's sole holding in the sector, a medical equipment stock, underperformed.
• However, relative gains were diminished by both an overweight and stock selection in financial services. Within the sector, the financial data and systems industry was the largest detractor.
• Both stock selection and an underweight in energy hampered relative performance. The Portfolio's energy positions did not underperform the Index, but given our general underweight and the relative outperformance of other names in the sector that we do not own, our overall exposure detracted from relative performance.
• An underweight in producer durables hurt relative performance, while stock selection helped.
Management Strategies
• We seek to invest in high-quality established and emerging franchise companies that we believe have sustainable competitive advantages and strong normalized free cash flow yields and are undervalued at the time of investment. We find these companies through rigorous fundamental analysis. We focus on long-term growth rather than short-term events.
• As a team, we believe having a market outlook can be an anchor. Our focus remains on assessing company prospects over three to five years, and owning a portfolio of high-quality companies with diverse business drivers not tied to a particular market environment.

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) The Russell 1000® Growth Index measures the performance of the large-cap growth segment of the U.S. equity universe. It includes those Russell 1000® Index companies with higher price-to-book ratios and higher forecasted growth values. The Russell 1000® Index is an index of approximately 1,000 of the largest U.S. companies based on a combination of 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.
(2) The Lipper Multi-Cap Growth Funds Index is an equally weighted performance index of the largest qualifying funds (based on net assets) in the Lipper Multi-Cap Growth Funds 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 was in the Lipper Multi-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. The Adviser has agreed to waive or reimburse all or a portion of the Portfolio's advisory fees and/or other expenses, excluding investment related expenses, for at least one year.
(4) On May 21, 2010 Class A, Class B, Class C, and Class I shares of Van Kampen Equity Growth Fund ("the Predecessor Fund") were reorganized into Class H, Class H, Class L, and Class I shares of Morgan Stanley Equity Growth Portfolio ("the Portfolio"), respectively. Class H, Class L, and Class I shares' returns of the Portfolio will differ from the Predecessor Fund as they have different expenses. Performance shown for the Portfolio's Class I, Class H, and Class L shares reflects the performance of the shares of the Predecessor Fund for periods prior to May 21, 2010. The Class I shares of the Predecessor Fund commenced operations on August 12, 2005. Each of the Class A and Class C shares of the Predecessor Fund commenced operations on May 28, 1998. Class P shares commenced operations on May 21, 2010. Performance for Class H shares has been restated to reflect the Portfolio's applicable sales charge. In October 2010, the Morgan Stanley Equity Growth Portfolio changed its name to the Morgan Stanley Opportunity Portfolio.
(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. Returns for periods less than one year are not annualized.

2010 Annual Report
December 31, 2010 (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.
Performance
For the year ended December 31, 2010, the Portfolio had a total return based on net asset value and reinvestment of distributions per share of 27.20%, net of fees, for Class I shares. The Portfolio's Class I shares underperformed against its benchmark, the Russell 2000® Growth Index (the "Index"), which returned 29.09%.
Factors Affecting Performance
• The stock market finished 2010 higher, as investors gained confidence that the U.S. and global economies would likely avoid a double-dip recession, at least for the time being. Optimism was driven by improvements in some measures of the U.S. economy, although the weak housing market and near-record high unemployment rates continued to hang over the market. Shifting sentiment about Europe's fiscal health caused volatility in the markets, especially early in the year and during the summer months when the problems of some of the heavily indebted peripheral countries appeared to escalate. In late August, U.S. stocks rallied on the prospects of a second round of quantitative easing (buying government bonds to increase money supply) by the Federal Reserve. The market climbed through the remainder of the year as the expectation became a reality and an additional stimulus package was passed by the U.S. Congress.
• Our emphasis on high-quality companies with sustainable competitive advantages led to positive results versus broad market and peer averages. Throughout the year, concerns about the U.S. economy and the financial conditions of several debt-ridden European nations intensified worries about the global economy's recovery and led to increased volatility in the marketplace. We were confident in the long-term prospects of the positions we held in the portfolio, given these companies' attractive valuations and strong balance sheets. Our focus on free cash flow yield and rising return on capital led us to invest in high-quality names which outperformed despite the volatility in the market place. Going forward, we maintain our three- to five-year outlook and continue seeking to capitalize on compelling opportunities to upgrade the portfolio.
• Stock selection in health care was the largest detractor, which was somewhat offset by relative gains from an underweight there. Within the sector, the pharmaceuticals industry was the primary cause for the underperformance. Stock selection in consumer discretionary was unfavorable as well, while an overweight helped relative performance. The specialty retail industry was the sector's weakest performer. Relative performance was hampered by stock selection and an underweight in the energy sector, where exposure to natural gas producers was especially disadvantageous.
• However, both stock selection and an overweight in the materials and processing sector were advantageous to relative performance, particularly exposure to the diversified metals and minerals industry. Stock selection and an underweight in producer durables contributed positively, led by the back office support, human resources and consulting industry. Finally, stock selection in utilities was a source of relative gains, despite the negative impact of an overweight in the sector, as the miscellaneous utilities industry outperformed.
Management Strategies
• As a team, we believe having a market outlook can be an anchor. Our focus remains on assessing company prospects over three to five years, and owning a portfolio of high-quality companies with diverse business drivers not tied to a particular market environment.

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 Small-Cap Growth Funds Index is an equally weighted performance index of the largest qualifying funds (based on net assets) in the Lipper Small-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 Small-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.
(4) Commenced operations on November 1, 1989.

2010 Annual Report

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").
Performance
For the year ended December 31, 2010, the Portfolio had a total return based on net asset value and reinvestment of distributions per share of 29.86%, net of fees, for Class I shares. The Portfolio's Class I shares outperformed against its benchmark, the FTSE NAREIT Equity REITs Index (the "Index"), which returned 27.96%, and the S&P 500® Index, which returned 15.06%.
Factors Affecting Performance
• The real estate investment trust (REIT) market gained 27.96% in the 12-month period ending December 31, 2010, as measured by the FTSE NAREIT Equity REITs Index, but is still down approximately 25% from peak levels. For most of the period, the sector continued the strong recovery that began in mid-March 2009. REITs posted significant gains through April. The gains appeared to be driven by an improved outlook for the economy and coincided with the strong rally in the broader equity and debt markets. Subsequently, the sector declined through June alongside the broader equity markets, which fell on investor concerns that the European sovereign debt crisis and policy-tightening measures in China may hinder continued global economic growth. For the remainder of the period, REIT share prices generally appeared to benefit once again from rallies in the equity and bond markets, as Treasuries experienced dramatic declines in yields on concerns over continued weak economic conditions and the renewed risks of deflation, and greater conviction that the Fed will not likely raise short-term rates soon.
• Among the major U.S. REIT sectors, the apartment sector significantly outperformed, the retail sector meaningfully outperformed, and the office sector significantly underperformed the Index. Apartment stocks benefited as the companies reported that multifamily operating fundamentals continued to strengthen even in the face of a slowing U.S. economy and sluggish job growth. Additionally, asset values in the apartment investment market continued to strengthen due to the improved operating and financing environment. The retail sector meaningfully outperformed the Index. Within the retail sector, both malls and shopping centers outperformed as operating results showed signs of improvement as tenant demand from retailers has improved from trough levels in mid-2009. The office sector significantly underperformed the Index. Within the office sector, the companies that focus on major central business district locations, particularly New York City, outperformed the owners of suburban office assets, who experienced continued weakness in tenant demand. Among the smaller sectors, the hotel REITs significantly outperformed, the storage REITs modestly outperformed, and the health care and industrial REITs significantly underperformed the Index.
• The Portfolio outperformed the Index for the period. Bottom-up stock selection and top-down sector allocation both contributed to performance. Stock selection was especially strong in the hotel, office, apartment and diversified sectors; this was partially offset by the impact of stock selection in the shopping center and mall sectors. From a top-down perspective, the Fund benefited from the overweight to the hotel and apartment sectors and the underweight to the industrial sector. Cash held in the Portfolio detracted from relative performance, given the Index's nearly 28% gain during the period.
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 provide real estate exposure at the best valuation relative to their underlying asset values. We continue to focus on relative implied valuations as a key metric. Our company-specific research leads 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, suburban office and health care assets.
• Based on an estimated 20% downward adjustment to asset values from peak levels, the REIT market ended the period at an approximate 20% premium. Views on valuations in the REIT sector remain mixed. Advocates point to a continued improvement in asset values, particularly among higher-quality assets with a secure income stream, as

well as in credit markets, and the favorable benefits of REITs having unique access to capital at very attractive rates. In addition, while current valuations may be ahead of consensus NAVs, it is notable that they are very comparable to the prices being paid in limited recent transactions. However, the case for the attractiveness of REITs relative to investment grade bonds has been weakened due to the combination of declining capitalization rates and higher bond yields, plus an outlook for lackluster operating cash flow growth. The bears continue to be worried that share prices have run ahead of themselves due to a potential disappointment from a slower-than-expected recovery in asset values driven by a weaker-than-expected recovery in operating fundamentals (as a result of disappointing economic and job growth) and/or the overhang from the high degree of troubled mortgages that require significant equity capital.
* 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.

2010 Annual Report
December 31, 2010 (unaudited)
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.
Performance
For the year ended December 31, 2010, the Portfolio had a total return based on net asset value and reinvestment of distributions per share of 15.07%, net of fees, for Class I shares. The Portfolio's Class I shares underperformed against its benchmark, the JP Morgan EMBI Global Bond Index/JP Morgan GBI-EM Diversified Bond Index (the "Index"), which returned 15.68%.
Factors Affecting Performance
• The first quarter of 2010 was overall a good period for fixed income assets, which were supported by a positive macro backdrop of benign economic data and unchanged monetary policy in the G-3. In addition, important policy decisions influenced global markets including the passage of U.S. health care reform, and sovereign risk related issues especially around Greece and peripheral Europe. Against this backdrop, emerging markets (EM) debt strongly outperformed developed markets debt in the first quarter.
• Financial markets remained choppy throughout the second quarter of 2010 as investors focused on the unfolding crisis in peripheral Europe. Worries over a potential "double dip" recession and banking sector struggles in the developed world, and tighter monetary policies in certain EM countries overshadowed the generally strong fundamentals in the U.S. and most of the EM world. During the quarter, EM central banks stepped up the movement toward the normalization of monetary policy. Such actions highlighted the inner strength of most emerging countries.
• During the third quarter, EM debt markets continued to be driven primarily by economic and policy developments in the developed world, rather than by EM-centered events. EM central banks slowed the pace of rate hikes as growth softened from very robust levels and inflation remained stable. EM debt continued to benefit from strong portfolio inflows.
• Performance of risky assets through the fourth quarter of 2010 as a whole was driven by two opposing factors. The first, which was consistent with greater appetite for risk, involved moves by policy makers in the U.S. that aimed to boost economic growth in 2011. The most obvious initiatives were the second round of quantitative easing (QE2) and the extension of the Bush-era tax cuts. However, sentiment soured — and appetite for risk fell — in November as a result of the fiscal crisis in Ireland. Emerging markets debt, like most risky assets, generally underperformed during the last three months of the year. Nevertheless, in relation to other episodes in which global investors have become risk averse, the negative returns were modest, coinciding with EM data flow confirming that fundamentals remain intact and favorable.
• Emerging market local currency debt, as measured by the Index, returned 15.68% for the year, while local currency debt yields stood at 6.69% as of year-end.
• The Portfolio benefited from currency exposure to the Malaysian ringgit and an overweight exposure to South African local rates. Yield curve posture in Brazil, Indonesia and Mexico also aided returns. Conversely, underweight exposure to local bonds from Malaysia and Thailand detracted from relative returns. Exposure to local currency in South Africa and Turkey also hurt returns.
Management Strategies
• We expect growth in the developed world to recover somewhat in 2011, reflecting a new wave of expansionary fiscal and monetary policies — particularly in the U.S. However, the unresolved fiscal sustainability issues in the periphery of Europe and individual states in the U.S. are likely to generate periodic bouts of risk aversion into 2011. Such expansionary policies in the developed world are likely to provide further support to commodity prices and capital inflows to EM countries, but will also exacerbate inflationary and currency appreciation pressures.
• Our constructive view on EM assets in 2011 reflects expectations for strong domestic demand-driven growth, supportive terms of trade and large capital inflows. EM countries are likely to respond to expansionary polices in the developed world by

Investment Overview (cont'd)
Emerging Markets Debt Portfolio
hardening capital controls to avoid a further appreciation of their currencies, while hiking rates at a pace adequate to contain inflationary pressures in their economies. Overall, we believe that EM central banks will be able to slow but not to reverse the appreciation trend in their currencies.
• The impact of the strong macroeconomic fundamentals in the emerging markets on sovereign risk premium appears to be fully priced in most countries, with pockets of undervaluation on which we will focus. In contrast, we believe that higher carry and continued portfolio flows will continue to support EM currencies. Several currencies in Asia and certain commodity currencies remain undervalued and could benefit further from a benign external environment and easy monetary policy in the developed world.
* 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 that class.

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 twenty-one 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 Asian Equity, Global Advantage, Global Discovery, Global Opportunity, Global Real Estate, International Advantage, International Opportunity, Select Global Infrastructure, Advantage, Opportunity and Emerging Markets Debt Portfolios), offers two classes of shares — Class I and Class P. Asian Equity, Global Advantage, Global Discovery, Global Opportunity, Global Real Estate, International Advantage, International Opportunity, Select Global Infrastructure, Advantage, Opportunity 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.

The Investment Adviser incurred offering costs on behalf of the International Opportunity Portfolio and the Select Global Infrastructure Portfolio in the amount of $103,411 and $110,000, respectively, which was reimbursed by the respective Portfolio for the full amount thereof. Such expenses were deferred and are being amortized over a period of one year from the commencement of operations.
On June 1, 2010, Invesco Ltd., a leading independent global investment management company, completed its purchase of substantially all of the retail asset management business of Morgan Stanley Investment Management (the "Transaction"). In contemplation of the Transaction, the Directors of the Fund approved an Agreement and Plan of Reorganization (the "Reorganization") with respect to the International Growth Equity, Large Cap Relative Value and U.S. Small/Mid Cap Value Portfolios (each a "affected Portfolio"), pursuant to which substantially all of the assets of each affected Portfolio would be combined with those of a newly organized mutual fund advised by an affiliate of Invesco Ltd. (the "New Fund"). On May 11, 2010, the Reorganization was approved by the shareholders of each affected Portfolio at a special meeting of shareholders. On June 1, 2010, the Reorganization was completed and shareholders of each affected portfolio received shares of the New Fund in exchange for their shares of each affected Portfolio. Accordingly, the financial statements of each affected Portfolio are no longer contained in this report but may be found in the report of their corresponding New Funds.
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 Portfolio in the preparation of its financial statements. U.S. generally accepted accounting principles may require management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Actual results may differ from those estimates.
1. Security Valuation: Securities listed on an 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 ask prices. 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
216
2010 Annual Report
December 31, 2010
Notes to Financial Statements (cont'd)
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 in similar groups of securities, security quality, maturity, coupon and other security characteristics as well as any developments related to the specific securities. Short-term 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 in good faith under procedures adopted 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 ask prices of such currencies against U.S. dollars last quoted by a major bank as follows:
• investments, other assets and liabilities at the prevailing rate of exchange on the valuation date;
• investment transactions and investment income 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 sold during the period. 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 (losses) realized between the trade and settlement dates on securities transactions, and the difference between the amount of investment income and foreign withholding 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 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 governmental 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
217
2010 Annual Report
December 31, 2010
Notes to Financial Statements (cont'd)
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 in the Portfolio of Investments.
3. Derivatives: Certain Portfolios used 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 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 Securities and Exchange Commission 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-Advisors 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 certain Portfolios used during the period and their associated risks:
Futures: 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 Statements 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.
Foreign Currency Exchange Contracts: In connection with their investments in foreign securities, certain Portfolios also entered into contracts with banks, brokers or dealers to purchase or sell foreign currencies at a future date ("currency contracts"). A currency 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. Currency 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. Hedging a Portfolio's currency risks involves the risk of mismatching a Portfolio's objectives under a currency 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. A currency

contract is marked-to-market daily and the change in market value is recorded by the Portfolio as unrealized gain or loss. The Portfolio records realized gains (losses) when the currency contract is closed equal to the difference between the value of the currency contract at the time it was opened and the value at the time it was closed.
P-Notes: P-notes are participation interest notes that are issued by banks or broker-dealers and are designed to offer a return linked to a particular underlying equity, debt, currency or market. When the P-note matures, the issuer will pay to, or receive from, the purchaser the difference between the nominal value of the underlying instrument at the time of purchase and that instrument's value at maturity. Investments in P-notes involve the same risks associated with a direct investment in the underlying foreign companies or foreign securities markets that they seek to replicate. In addition, there can be no assurance that the trading price of P-notes will equal the underlying value of the foreign companies or foreign securities markets that they seek to replicate. There is also counterparty risk associated with these investments because a Portfolio is relying on the creditworthiness of such counterparty and has no rights under a participation note against the issuer of the underlying security.
Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") Accounting Standards Codification(TM) ("ASC") 815, "Derivatives and Hedging: Overall" ("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 a 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, 2010.

For the year ended December 31, 2010, Active International Allocation Portfolio's average monthly principal amount of foreign exchange contracts was $140,824,000 and the average monthly original value of futures contracts was $46,861,000. Global Franchise, International Opportunity, International Equity, International Small Cap and Emerging Markets Debt Portfolios' average monthly principal amount of foreign exchange contracts were $11,596,000, $15,000, $261,668,000, $55,250,000 and $11,334,000, respectively.
4. Securities Lending: Certain Portfolios 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 the 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 "dividends from securities of affiliated issuers." 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 the loaned securities and related collateral outstanding at December 31, 2010 were as follows:
Portfolio | | Value of Loaned Securities (000) | | Value of Cash Collateral (000) | | Invested Cash Collateral** (000) | | Uninvested Cash Collateral (000) | |
Active International Allocation | | $ | 25,327 | | | $ | 26,401 | | | $ | 26,398 | | | $ | 3 | | |

International Equity | | | 84,730 | | | | 88,258 | | | | 88,250 | | | | 8 | | |
* The Emerging Markets Portfolio did not maintain 100% collateral coverage at December 31, 2010. This was corrected on the next business day.
** The Portfolios invest cash collateral received in Repurchase Agreements and Morgan Stanley Institutional Liquidity Funds as reported in the Portfolio of Investments.
The following Portfolios had income from securities lending (after rebates to borrowers and fees paid to securities lending agent):

6. 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, Asian Equity, Emerging Markets, Global Opportunity, International Advantage, International Equity, International Opportunity, International Real Estate, International Small Cap, Select Global Infrastructure, 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.
7. Restricted Securities: Certain Portfolios 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 Portfolios of Investments.
8. Fair Value Measurement: FASB ASC 820, "Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures" ("ASC 820"), defines fair value as the price that the Fund would receive to sell an investment or pay to transfer a liability in a timely transaction with an independent buyer in the principal market, or in the absence of a principal market the most advantageous market for the investment or liability. ASC 820 establishes a three-tier hierarchy to distinguish between (1) inputs that reflect the assumptions market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability developed based on market data obtained from sources independent of the reporting entity (observable inputs) and (2) inputs that reflect the reporting entity's own assumptions about the
221
2010 Annual Report
December 31, 2010
Notes to Financial Statements (cont'd)
assumptions market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability developed based on the best information available in the circumstances (unobservable inputs) and to establish classification of fair value measurements for disclosure purposes. Various inputs are used in determining the value of the Fund's investments. The inputs are summarized in the three broad levels listed below.
• Level 1 – unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical investments
• Level 2 – other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar investments, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.)
• Level 3 – significant unobservable inputs including the Fund's own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments. 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
The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities and the determination of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement in its entirety requires judgment and considers factors specific to each security.
On January 21, 2010, FASB issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2010-06. The ASU amends ASC 820 to add new requirements for disclosures about significant transfers into and out of Levels 1 and 2, which the Fund adopted and made the required disclosures in the Fair Valuation Measurements summary at the end of the portfolio of investments. In addition, separate disclosures for purchases, sales, issuances and settlements relating to Level 3 measurements are required for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2010.
9. Indemnifications: 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.
10. 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 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.

In addition, the Fund has adopted a Distribution and Shareholder Services Plan with respect to Class L shares pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act. Under the Distribution and Shareholder Services 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 service 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 Distributor has agreed to waive for at least one year the 12b-1 fees on Class L shares of the Advantage Portfolio and the Global Opportunity Portfolio to the extent it exceeds 0.04% and 0.30%, respectively, of the average daily net assets of such shares on an annualized basis.
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: State Street Bank and Trust Company (the "Custodian") serves as Custodian for the Fund in accordance with a custodian agreement. The Custodian holds cash, securities, and other assets of the Fund as required by the 1940 Act. Custody fees are payable monthly based on assets held in custody, investment purchases and sales activity and account maintenance fees, plus reimbursement for certain out-of-pocket expenses. Prior to May 3, 2010, JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. served as custodian for the Portfolio in accordance with the custodian agreement.
The Fund has entered into an arrangement with its Custodian whereby credits realized on uninvested cash balances were used to offset a portion of each Portfolio's expenses. If applicable, these custodian credits are shown as "Expense Offset" in the Statements of Operations.

H. Federal Income Taxes: It is each Portfolio's intention to continue to qualify as a regulated investment company and distribute all of its taxable and tax-exempt income. Accordingly, no provision for Federal income taxes is required in the financial statements. 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 such income and/or gains are earned. Taxes may also be based on transactions in foreign currency and are accrued based on the value of investments denominated in such currency.
FASB ASC 740-10 "Income Taxes — Overall" sets forth a minimum threshold for financial statement recognition of the benefit of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. Management has concluded there are no significant uncertain tax positions that would require recognition in the financial statements. If applicable, the Portfolios recognize interest accrued related to unrecognized tax benefits in "Interest Expense" and penalties in "Other Expenses" on the Statements 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, 2010, remains subject to examination by taxing authorities.
The tax character of distributions paid may differ from the character of distributions shown on the Statements of Changes in Net Assets due to short-term capital gains being treated as ordinary income for tax purposes. The tax character of distributions paid during fiscal 2010 and 2009 was as follows:
| | 2010 Distributions Paid From: | | 2009 Distributions Paid From: | |
Portfolio | | Ordinary Income (000) | | Long-term Capital Gain (000) | | Ordinary Income (000) | | Long-term Capital Gain (000) | |

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 attributable to differing book and tax treatments for the timing of the recognition of gains (losses) on certain investment transactions and the timing of 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

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 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, 2010, the Portfolio deferred to January 3, 2011 for U.S. Federal income tax purposes, post-October capital and currency losses as indicated:
Portfolio | | Capital Losses (000) | | Currency Losses (000) | |

For the year ended December 31, 2010, Global Franchise realized gains from in-kind redemptions of approximately $8,179,000. The gains are not taxable income to the Portfolio.
I. 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 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, 2010, 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:

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, Asian Equity Portfolio, Emerging Markets Portfolio, Global Advantage Portfolio, Global Discovery Portfolio, Global Franchise Portfolio, Global Opportunity Portfolio, Global Real Estate Portfolio, International Advantage Portfolio, International Equity Portfolio, International Opportunity Portfolio, International Real Estate Portfolio, International Small Cap Portfolio, Select Global Infrastructure Portfolio, Advantage Portfolio, Focus Growth Portfolio, Small Company Growth Portfolio, Capital Growth Portfolio, Opportunity Portfolio, U.S. Real Estate Portfolio, and Emerging Markets Debt Portfolio (the "Portfolios") (twenty-one of the Portfolios comprising Morgan Stanley Institutional Fund, Inc.), including the portfolios of investments, as of December 31, 2010, and the related statements of operations and changes in net assets 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. The statement of changes in net assets for the year ended June 30, 2009 and the financial highlights for years ended June 30, 2009, 2008, 2007, 2006 for Opportunity Portfolio were audited by another independent registered public accounting firm whose report, dated August 21, 2009, expressed an unqualified opinion on that statement of changes in net assets and those financial highlights.
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, 2010, by correspondence with the custodian and brokers, or by other appropriate auditing procedures where replies from brokers were not received. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of each of the aforementioned portfolios comprising Morgan Stanley Institutional Fund, Inc. at December 31, 2010, the results of their operations, the changes in their net assets and 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 Committee. The Audit Committee will add to or subtract from the list of general pre-approved services from time to time, based on subsequent determinations.
(1) This Audit Committee Audit and Non-Audit Services Pre-Approval Policy and Procedures (the “Policy”), adopted as of the date above, supersedes and replaces all prior versions that may have been adopted from time to time.
The purpose of this Policy is to set forth the policy and procedures by which the Audit Committee intends to fulfill its responsibilities. It does not delegate the Audit Committee’s responsibilities to pre-approve services performed by the Independent Auditors to management.
The Fund’s Independent Auditors have reviewed this Policy and believes that implementation of the Policy will not adversely affect the Independent Auditors’ independence.
2. Delegation
As provided in the Act and the SEC’s rules, the Audit Committee may delegate either type of pre-approval authority to one or more of its members. The member to whom such authority is delegated must report, for informational purposes only, any pre-approval decisions to the Audit Committee at its next scheduled meeting.
3. Audit Services
The annual Audit services engagement terms and fees are subject to the specific pre-approval of the Audit Committee. Audit services include the annual financial statement audit and other procedures required to be performed by the Independent Auditors to be able to form an opinion on the Fund’s financial statements. These other procedures include information systems and procedural reviews and testing performed in order to understand and place reliance on the systems of internal control, and consultations relating to the audit. The Audit Committee will approve, if necessary, any changes in terms, conditions and fees resulting from changes in audit scope, Fund structure or other items.
In addition to the annual Audit services engagement approved by the Audit Committee, the Audit Committee may grant general pre-approval to other Audit services, which are those services that only the Independent Auditors reasonably can provide. Other Audit services may include statutory audits and services associated with SEC registration statements (on Forms N-1A, N-2, N-3, N-4, etc.), periodic reports and other documents filed with the SEC or other documents issued in connection with securities offerings.
The Audit Committee has pre-approved the Audit services in Appendix B.1. All other Audit services not listed in Appendix B.1 must be specifically pre-approved by the Audit Committee (or by any member of the Audit Committee to which pre-approval has been delegated).
4. Audit-related Services
Audit-related services are assurance and related services that are reasonably related to the performance of the audit or review of the Fund’s financial statements and, to the extent they are Covered Services, the Covered Entities or that are traditionally performed by the Independent Auditors. Because the Audit Committee believes that the provision of Audit-related services does not impair the independence of the auditor and is consistent with the SEC’s rules on auditor independence, the Audit Committee may grant general pre-approval to Audit-related services. Audit-related services include, among others, accounting consultations related to accounting, financial reporting or disclosure matters
not classified as “Audit services”; assistance with understanding and implementing new accounting and financial reporting guidance from rulemaking authorities; agreed-upon or expanded audit procedures related to accounting and/or billing records required to respond to or comply with financial, accounting or regulatory reporting matters; and assistance with internal control reporting requirements under Forms N-SAR and/or N-CSR.
The Audit Committee has pre-approved the Audit-related services in Appendix B.2. All other Audit-related services not listed in Appendix B.2 must be specifically pre-approved by the Audit Committee (or by any member of the Audit Committee to which pre-approval has been delegated).
5. Tax Services
The Audit Committee believes that the Independent Auditors can provide Tax services to the Fund and, to the extent they are Covered Services, the Covered Entities, such as tax compliance, tax planning and tax advice without impairing the auditor’s independence, and the SEC has stated that the Independent Auditors may provide such services.
Pursuant to the preceding paragraph, the Audit Committee has pre-approved the Tax Services in Appendix B.3. All Tax services in Appendix B.3 must be specifically pre-approved by the Audit Committee (or by any member of the Audit Committee to which pre-approval has been delegated).
6. All Other Services
The Audit Committee believes, based on the SEC’s rules prohibiting the Independent Auditors from providing specific non-audit services, that other types of non-audit services are permitted. Accordingly, the Audit Committee believes it may grant general pre-approval to those permissible non-audit services classified as All Other services that it believes are routine and recurring services, would not impair the independence of the auditor and are consistent with the SEC’s rules on auditor independence.
The Audit Committee has pre-approved the All Other services in Appendix B.4. Permissible All Other services not listed in Appendix B.4 must be specifically pre-approved by the Audit Committee (or by any member of the Audit Committee to which pre-approval has been delegated).
7. Pre-Approval Fee Levels or Budgeted Amounts
Pre-approval fee levels or budgeted amounts for all services to be provided by the Independent Auditors will be established annually by the Audit Committee. Any proposed services exceeding these levels or amounts will require specific pre-approval by the Audit Committee. The Audit Committee is mindful of the overall relationship of fees for audit and non-audit services in determining whether to pre-approve any such services.
8. Procedures
All requests or applications for services to be provided by the Independent Auditors that do not require specific approval by the Audit Committee will be submitted to the Fund’s Chief Financial Officer and must include a detailed description of the services to be
rendered. The Fund’s Chief Financial Officer will determine whether such services are included within the list of services that have received the general pre-approval of the Audit Committee. The Audit Committee will be informed on a timely basis of any such services rendered by the Independent Auditors. Requests or applications to provide services that require specific approval by the Audit Committee will be submitted to the Audit Committee by both the Independent Auditors and the Fund’s Chief Financial Officer, and must include a joint statement as to whether, in their view, the request or application is consistent with the SEC’s rules on auditor independence.
The Audit Committee has designated the Fund’s Chief Financial Officer to monitor the performance of all services provided by the Independent Auditors and to determine whether such services are in compliance with this Policy. The Fund’s Chief Financial Officer will report to the Audit Committee on a periodic basis on the results of its monitoring. Both the Fund’s Chief Financial Officer and management will immediately report to the chairman of the Audit Committee any breach of this Policy that comes to the attention of the Fund’s Chief Financial Officer or any member of management.
9. Additional Requirements
The Audit Committee has determined to take additional measures on an annual basis to meet its responsibility to oversee the work of the Independent Auditors and to assure the auditor’s independence from the Fund, such as reviewing a formal written statement from the Independent Auditors delineating all relationships between the Independent Auditors and the Fund, consistent with Independence Standards Board No. 1, and discussing with the Independent Auditors its methods and procedures for ensuring independence.
10. Covered Entities
Covered Entities include the Fund’s investment adviser(s) and any entity controlling, controlled by or under common control with the Fund’s investment adviser(s) that provides ongoing services to the Fund(s). Beginning with non-audit service contracts entered into on or after May 6, 2003, the Fund’s audit committee must pre-approve non-audit services provided not only to the Fund but also to the Covered Entities if the engagements relate directly to the operations and financial reporting of the Fund. This list of Covered Entities would include:
