Management’s Report on Internal Control Over
Financial Reporting
Ceres Managed Futures LLC (“Ceres”), the general partner of Morgan Stanley Smith Barney Spectrum Currency and Commodity L.P. (formerly, Morgan Stanley Smith Barney Spectrum Currency L.P.), Morgan Stanley Smith Barney Spectrum Global Balanced L.P., Morgan Stanley Smith Barney Spectrum Select L.P., Morgan Stanley Smith Barney Spectrum Strategic L.P., and Morgan Stanley Smith Barney Spectrum Technical L.P. (collectively, the “Partnerships”), and is responsible for the management of the Partnerships.
Management of the Partnerships, Ceres (“Management”) is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting as defined in Rules 13a – 15(f) and 15d – 15(f) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and for the assessment of internal control over financial reporting. The Partnerships’ internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The Partnerships’ internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that:
(i) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the Partnerships:
(ii) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, and that receipts and expenditures of the Partnerships are being made only in accordance with authorizations of Management and directors of Ceres; and
(iii) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection and correction of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of the Partnerships’ assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
Management has assessed the effectiveness of the Partnerships’ internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2011. In making this assessment, Management used the criteria set forth in theInternal Control-Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). Based on our assessment, Management concluded that the Partnerships maintained effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2011 based on the criteria referred to above.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Limited Partners and the General Partner of Morgan Stanley Smith Barney Spectrum Currency and Commodity L.P., Morgan Stanley Smith Barney Spectrum Global Balanced L.P., Morgan Stanley Smith Barney Spectrum Select L.P., Morgan Stanley Smith Barney Spectrum Strategic L.P., and Morgan Stanley Smith Barney Spectrum Technical L.P.:
We have audited the accompanying statements of financial condition of Morgan Stanley Smith Barney Spectrum Currency and Commodity L.P. (formerly, Morgan Stanley Smith Barney Spectrum Currency L.P.), Morgan Stanley Smith Barney Spectrum Global Balanced L.P., Morgan Stanley Smith Barney Spectrum Select L.P., Morgan Stanley Smith Barney Spectrum Strategic L.P., and Morgan Stanley Smith Barney Spectrum Technical L.P. (collectively, the “Partnerships”), including the condensed schedules of investments, as of December 31, 2011 and 2010, and the related statements of income and expenses and changes in partners’ capital for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2011. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Partnerships’ management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Partnerships are not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of their 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 Partnerships’ 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, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Morgan Stanley Smith Barney Spectrum Currency and Commodity L.P., Morgan Stanley Smith Barney Spectrum Global Balanced L.P., Morgan Stanley Smith Barney Spectrum Select L.P., Morgan Stanley Smith Barney Spectrum Strategic L.P., and Morgan Stanley Smith Barney Spectrum Technical L.P. as of December 31, 2011 and 2010, and the results of their operations and changes in partners’ capital for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2011, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

1. | Organization |
Morgan Stanley Smith Barney Spectrum Currency and Commodity L.P. (formerly, Morgan Stanley Smith Barney Spectrum Currency L.P.)(“Spectrum Currency”), Morgan Stanley Smith Barney Spectrum Global Balanced L.P. (“Spectrum Global Balanced”), Morgan Stanley Smith Barney Spectrum Select L.P., (“Spectrum Select”), Morgan Stanley Smith Barney Spectrum Strategic L.P. (“Spectrum Strategic”) and Morgan Stanley Smith Barney Spectrum Technical L.P. (“Spectrum Technical”) (individually, a “Partnership”, or collectively, the “Partnerships”) are limited partnerships organized to engage primarily in the speculative trading of futures contracts, options on futures and forward contracts, and forward contracts on physical commodities and other commodity interests, including, but not limited to, foreign currencies, financial instruments, metals, energy, and agricultural products (collectively, “Futures Interests”) (refer to Note 6. Financial Instruments).
In 2009, Morgan Stanley and Citigroup Inc. (“Citigroup”) combined certain assets of the Global Wealth Management Group of Morgan Stanley & Co. LLC (formerly, Morgan Stanley & Co. Incorporated) (“MS&Co.”), including Demeter Management LLC (“Demeter”) and the Smith Barney division of Citigroup Global Markets, Inc., into a new joint venture, Morgan Stanley Smith Barney Holdings LLC (“MSSBH”). As part of that transaction, Ceres Managed Futures LLC (“Ceres” or the “General Partner”) and Demeter were contributed to MSSBH, and each became a wholly-owned subsidiary of MSSBH. Prior to June 1, 2009, Demeter was a wholly-owned subsidiary of Morgan Stanley.
Effective December 1, 2010, MSSBH, together with the unanimous support of the respective Boards of Directors of Demeter and Ceres, combined the assets and operations of Demeter and Ceres into a single commodity pool operator, Ceres. Ceres will continue to be wholly-owned by MSSBH and replaced Demeter as the general partner. MSSBH is majority-owned indirectly by Morgan Stanley and minority-owned indirectly by Citigroup.
The non-clearing commodity broker is Morgan Stanley Smith Barney LLC (“MSSB”), the principal subsidiary of MSSBH. The clearing commodity brokers for Spectrum Global Balanced, Spectrum Select, Spectrum Strategic and Spectrum Technical are MS&Co. and Morgan Stanley & Co. International plc (“MSIP”). Spectrum Currency’s clearing commodity broker is MS&Co. MS&Co. also acts as the counterparty on all trading of the foreign currency forward contracts. MSIP serves as the commodity broker for trades on the London Metal Exchange (“LME”). Morgan Stanley Capital Group Inc. (“MSCG”) acts as the counterparty on all trading of the options on foreign currency forward contracts. MS&Co., MSIP, and MSCG are wholly-owned subsidiaries of Morgan Stanley.
Effective December 30, 2011, Ceres changed the name of Morgan Stanley Smith Barney Spectrum Currency L.P. to Morgan Stanley Smith Barney Spectrum Currency and Commodity L.P.
Effective February 19, 2010, Demeter notified FX Concepts Trading Advisor, Inc. (“FX Concepts”) that the Management Agreement dated as of October 9, 2007 and any amendments or revisions subsequently made thereto, among Spectrum Strategic, Demeter and FX Concepts, pursuant to which FX Concepts traded a portion of Spectrum Strategic’s assets in commodity interest contracts, would be terminated effective February 26, 2010. Consequently, FX Concepts ceased all commodity interest trading on behalf of Spectrum Strategic effective February 26, 2010.
Effective February 19, 2010, Demeter notified FX Concepts that the Management Agreement dated as of October 9, 2007 and any amendments or revisions subsequently made thereto, among Spectrum Currency, Demeter and FX Concepts, pursuant to which FX Concepts traded a portion of the Spectrum Currency’s assets in commodity interest contracts, would be terminated effective February 26, 2010. Consequently, FX Concepts ceased all commodity interest trading on behalf of Spectrum Currency effective February 26, 2010.
Effective September 29, 2009, the General Partner changed the name of Morgan Stanley Spectrum Currency L.P., Morgan Stanley Spectrum Global Balanced L.P., Morgan Stanley Spectrum Select L.P., Morgan Stanley Spectrum Strategic L.P., and Morgan Stanley Spectrum Technical L.P.,
Morgan Stanley Smith Barney Spectrum Series
Notes to Financial Statements
respectively, to Morgan Stanley Smith Barney Spectrum Currency L.P., Morgan Stanley Smith Barney Spectrum Global Balanced L.P., Morgan Stanley Smith Barney Spectrum Select L.P., Morgan Stanley Smith Barney Spectrum Strategic L.P., and Morgan Stanley Smith Barney Spectrum Technical L.P., respectively. The name change did not have any impact on the operation of each Partnership or its limited partners.
Effective as of the close of business on August 31, 2011, DKR was terminated as a trading advisor to Spectrum Strategic.
Effective March 1, 2010, Spectrum Strategic, Demeter and DKR Fusion Management L.P. (“DKR”) entered into a management agreement pursuant to which, effective March 1, 2010, DKR served as a trading advisor for Spectrum Strategic and traded its allocated portion of net assets pursuant to DKR’s Quantitative Strategies 2X trading program.
The General Partner removed the following trading advisors from the Spectrum Currency as of the close of the day on December 31, 2011: John W. Henry & Company, Inc. (“JWH”) and Sunrise Capital Partners, LLC (“Sunrise”). Consequently, both JWH and Sunrise ceased all futures interest trading on behalf of Spectrum Currency as of that date.
Effective as of the close of business on May 31, 2011, DKR was terminated as a trading advisor to Spectrum Currency.
Effective November 30, 2011, the General Partner has removed Eclipse Capital Management Inc. (“Eclipse”) as a trading advisor to Spectrum Strategic.
Effective December 1, 2011, the General Partner added Aventis Asset Management LLC (“Aventis”) and PGR Capital LLP (“PGR”) as trading advisors to manage the assets of Spectrum Strategic through its investment in MB Master Fund L.P. (“MB Master Fund”) and PGR Master Fund L.P. (“PGR Master Fund”), respectively.
Effective December 1, 2011, the General Partner added Blackwater Capital Management LLC (“Blackwater”) as a trading advisor to manage the assets of Spectrum Technical through its investment in Blackwater Master Fund L.P. (“Blackwater Master Fund”).
Effective August 1, 2011, JWH started trading the net assets of Spectrum Technical allocated to JWH (the “JWH Account”) in accordance with the JWH Global Analytics trading program and ceased trading the JWH Account in accordance with JWH’s Financial and Metals Portfolio.
Effective May 31, 2011, Morgan Stanley & Co. Incorporated changed its name to Morgan Stanley & Co. LLC.
Ceres is required to maintain a 1% minimum interest in the equity of each Partnership and income (losses) are shared by Ceres and the limited partners based on their proportional ownership interest.
2. | Summary of Significant Accounting Policies |
Use of Estimates — The financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”), which require management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts in the financial statements and related disclosures. Management believes that the estimates utilized in the preparation of the financial statements are prudent and reasonable. Actual results could differ from those estimates and the differences could be material.
Valuation — Futures Interests are open commitments until the settlement date, at which time they are realized. They are valued at fair value, generally on a daily basis, and the unrealized gains and losses on open contracts (the difference between contract trade price and market price) are reported in the Statements of Financial Condition as net unrealized gains or losses on open contracts. The resulting net change in unrealized gains and losses is reflected in the change in unrealized trading
Morgan Stanley Smith Barney Spectrum Series
Notes to Financial Statements
profit (loss) on open contracts from one period to the next on the Statements of Income and Expenses. The fair value of exchange-traded futures, options and forwards contracts is determined by the various futures exchanges, and reflects the settlement price for each contract as of the close of business on the last business day of the reporting period. The fair value of foreign currency forward contracts is extrapolated on a forward basis from the spot prices quoted as of approximately 3:00 P.M. (E.T.) of the last business day of the reporting period from various exchanges. The fair value of non-exchange-traded foreign currency option contracts is calculated by applying an industry standard model application for options valuation of foreign currency options, using as input the spot prices, interest rates, and option implied volatilities quoted as of approximately 3:00 P.M. (E.T.) on the last business day of the reporting period. Risk arises from changes in the value of these contracts and the potential inability of counterparties to perform under the terms of the contracts. There are numerous factors which may significantly influence the fair value of these contracts, including interest rate volatility.
The Partnerships may invest in affiliated underlying funds. Relevant authoritative guidance permits, as a practical expedient, the Partnerships to measure the fair value of their investments in affiliated underlying funds on the basis of the net asset value per share of such investments (or the equivalent) if the net asset value per share of such investments (or the equivalent) is calculated in a manner consistent with the measurement principles of applicable authoritative guidance as of the Partnerships’ reporting date. The fair value of each affiliated underlying fund is based on the information provided by the affiliated underlying fund which reflects the Partnerships’ share of the fair value of the net assets of the affiliated underlying fund (i.e., the practical expedient is used).
The Partnerships may also invest in Master Funds. The Partnerships record their investments in Master Funds at fair value. The financial statements of the Master Funds, including the condensed schedule of investments and the notes to the Master Funds’ financial statements, which provide information about the Master Funds’ valuation policy, are attached to this report and should be read with the Partnerships’ financial statements.
The Partnerships may buy or write put and call options through listed exchanges and the over-the-counter market. The buyer of an option has the right to purchase (in the case of a call option) or sell (in the case of a put option) a specified quantity of a specific Futures Interest on the underlying asset at a specified price prior to or on a specified expiration date. The writer of an option is exposed to the risk of loss if the fair value of the Futures Interest on the underlying asset declines (in the case of a put option) or increases (in the case of a call option). The writer of an option can never profit by more than the premium paid by the buyer but can potentially lose an unlimited amount.
Premiums received/premiums paid from writing/purchasing options are recorded as liabilities/assets on the Statements of Financial Condition and are subsequently adjusted to fair values. The difference between the fair value of the option and the premiums received/premiums paid is treated as an unrealized gain or loss within the Statements of Income and Expenses.
Revenue Recognition — Monthly, MSSB pays each Partnership interest income at a rate equal to the monthly average of the 4-week U.S. Treasury bill discount rate during such month on 80% of the funds on deposit with the commodity brokers at each month-end in the case of Spectrum Currency, Spectrum Select, Spectrum Strategic, and Spectrum Technical, and on 100% of the funds on deposit in the case of Spectrum Global Balanced. MSSB retains any interest earned in excess of the interest paid by MSSB to each Partnership. For purposes of such interest payments, net assets do not include monies owed to the Partnerships on Futures Interests.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments — The fair value of the Partnerships’ assets and liabilities that qualify as financial instruments under the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”), approximates the carrying amount presented in the Statements of Financial Condition.
Foreign Currency Transactions and Translation — The Partnerships’ functional currency is the U.S. dollar; however, the Partnerships may transact business in currencies other than the U.S. dollar.
Morgan Stanley Smith Barney Spectrum Series
Notes to Financial Statements
Assets and liabilities denominated in currencies other than the U.S. dollar are translated into U.S. dollars at the rate in effect at the date of the Statements of Financial Condition. Income and expense items denominated in currencies other than the U.S. dollar are translated into U.S. dollars at the rate in effect during the period. The effects of changes in foreign currency exchange rates on investments are not segregated in the Statements of Income and Expenses from the changes in market price of those investments, but are included in the realized gain/loss and unrealized trading profit (loss) in the Statements of Income and Expenses.
Net Income (Loss) per Unit — Net income (loss) per unit of limited partnership interest (“Unit(s)”) is computed in accordance with the specialized accounting for Investment Companies as illustrated in the Financial Highlights Footnote (Refer to Note 9, Financial Highlights).
Trading Equity — The Partnerships’ asset “Trading Equity,” reflected on the Statements of Financial Condition, consists of (a) cash on deposit with MSSB, MS&Co., and MSIP for Spectrum Global Balanced, Spectrum Select, Spectrum Strategic and Spectrum Technical, and with MSSB and MS&Co. for Spectrum Currency, to be used as margin for trading and (b) net unrealized gains or losses on futures and forward contracts, which are fair valued and calculated as the difference between original contract value and fair value; and for the Partnerships which trade in options; if any, (c) options purchased at fair value. Options written at fair value are recorded in “Liabilities” within the Statements of Financial Condition.
The Partnerships, in their normal course of business, enter into various contracts with MSSB, MS&Co., and MSIP acting as their commodity brokers. Pursuant to brokerage agreements with MSSB, MS&Co., and MSIP, to the extent that such trading results in unrealized gains or losses, these amounts are offset for each Partnership and are reported on a net basis on the Statements of Financial Condition.
The Partnerships have offset their fair value amounts recognized for forward contracts executed with the same counterparty as allowable under the terms of their master netting agreement with MS&Co., as the counterparty on such contracts. The Partnerships have consistently applied their right to offset.
Restricted and Unrestricted Cash — As reflected on the Partnerships’ Statements of Financial Condition, restricted cash equals the cash portion of assets on deposit to meet margin requirements plus the cash required to offset unrealized losses on foreign currency forwards and options contracts and offset unrealized losses on offset LME positions. All of these amounts are maintained separately. Cash that is not classified as restricted cash is therefore classified as unrestricted cash.
Brokerage and Related Transaction Fees and Costs — The brokerage fees for Spectrum Currency and Spectrum Global Balanced are currently accrued at a flat monthly rate of 1/12 of 4.6% (a 4.6% annual rate) of net assets as of the first day of each month. Brokerage fees for Spectrum Select, Spectrum Strategic, and Spectrum Technical are currently accrued at a flat monthly rate of 1/12 of 6.0% (a 6.0% annual rate) of net assets as of the first day of each month. Such fees currently cover all brokerage fees, transaction fees and costs, and ordinary administrative and offering expenses.
Operating Expenses — The Partnerships incur monthly management fees and may incur an incentive fee. All common administrative and continuing offering expenses, including legal, auditing, accounting, filing fees, and other related expenses, are borne by MS&Co. through the brokerage fees paid by the Partnerships.
Continuing Offering — Units of each Partnership were offered at a price equal to 100% of the net asset value per Unit as of the close of business on the last day of each month. No selling commissions or charges related to the continuing offering of Units were paid by the limited partners of the Partnerships. MS&Co. paid all such costs.
The Partnerships no longer offer Units for purchase or exchange.
Morgan Stanley Smith Barney Spectrum Series
Notes to Financial Statements
Redemptions — Limited partners may redeem some or all of their Units at 100% of the net asset value per Unit as of the end of the last day of any month that is at least six months after the closing at which a person first becomes a limited partner. The request for redemptions must be delivered to a limited partner’s local MSSB Branch Office in time for it to be forwarded and received by Ceres no later than 3:00 p.m., New York City time, on the last day of the month in which the redemption is to be effective. Redemptions must be made in whole Units, with a minimum amount of 50 Units required for each redemption, unless a limited partner is redeeming his entire interest in a particular Partnership.
Units redeemed on or prior to the last day of the twelfth month from the date of purchase will be subject to a redemption charge equal to 2% of the net asset value of a Unit on the Redemption Date. Units redeemed after the last day of the twelfth month and on or prior to the last day of the twenty-fourth month from the date of purchase will be subject to a redemption charge equal to 1% of the net asset value of a Unit on the Redemption Date. Units redeemed after the last day of the twenty-fourth month from the date of purchase will not be subject to a redemption charge. The foregoing redemptions charges are paid to MS&Co.
The aggregate amounts of redemption charges paid to MS&Co. for the years ended December 31, 2011, 2010, and 2009 were as follows:
2011 | 2010 | 2009 | ||||||||||

Spectrum Strategic | — | 8,019 | 69,135 | |||||||||
Spectrum Technical | — | 9,992 | 123,590 |
Exchanges — On the last day of the first month which occurred more than six months after a person first became a limited partner in any of the Partnerships, and at the end of each month thereafter, limited partners could exchange their Units among the Partnerships (subject to certain restrictions outlined in the Limited Partnership Agreements) without paying additional charges.
Distributions — Distributions, other than redemptions of Units, are made on a pro rata basis at the sole discretion of Ceres. No distributions have been made to date. Ceres does not intend to make any distributions of the Partnerships’ profits.
Income Taxes — No provision for income taxes has been made in the accompanying financial statements, as partners are individually responsible for reporting income or loss based upon their respective share of each Partnership’s revenue and expenses for income tax purposes. The Partnerships file U.S. federal and state tax returns.
The guidance issued by the FASB on income taxes clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in each Partnership’s financial statements, and prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken. The Partnerships have concluded that there were no significant uncertain tax positions that would require recognition in the financial statements as of December 31, 2011 and 2010. If applicable, the Partnerships recognize interest accrued related to unrecognized tax benefits in interest expense and penalties in other expenses in the Statements of Income and Expenses. Generally, 2008 through 2011 tax years remain subject to examination by U.S. federal and most state tax authorities. No income tax returns are currently under examination.
Dissolution of the Partnerships — Spectrum Currency, Spectrum Global Balanced, Spectrum Strategic, and Spectrum Technical will terminate on December 31, 2035, and Spectrum Select will terminate on December 31, 2025, regardless of financial condition at such time, or at an earlier date if certain conditions occur as defined in each Partnership’s Limited Partnership Agreement.

Notes to Financial Statements
Litigation Settlement — In September 2011, Spectrum Technical received a settlement award payment in the amount of $10,951 from the Natural Gas Commodity Litigation Settlement Administrator. This settlement represents the Partnership’s portion of the Net Settlement Fund. The proceeds from this settlement were accounted for in the period they were received for the benefit of the partners in the Partnership.
On July 28, 2010, Spectrum Global Balanced, Spectrum Select, Spectrum Strategic, and Spectrum Technical, each, received a settlement award payment in the amounts of $29,602, $337,120, $220,755, and $164,828, respectively, from the Natural Gas Commodity Litigation Settlement Administrator. This settlement represents each Partnership’s portion of the 2006 Net Settlement Fund and the 2007 Net Settlement Fund. The proceeds from this settlement were accounted for in the period they were received for the benefit of the partners in each Partnership.
Statement of Cash Flows — The Partnerships are not required to provide a Statement of Cash Flows.
Other Pronouncements
In December 2011, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2011-11,“Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities”, which creates a new disclosure requirement about the nature of an entity’s rights of setoff and the related arrangements associated with its financial instruments and derivative instruments. Entities are required to disclose both gross information and net information about both instruments and transactions eligible for offset in the statement of financial condition and instruments and transactions subject to an agreement similar to a master netting arrangement. The objective of this disclosure is to facilitate comparison between those entities that prepare their financial statements on the basis of U.S. GAAP and those entities that prepare their financial statements on the basis of International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”). The disclosure requirements are effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2013, and interim periods within those annual periods. The Partnerships should also provide the disclosures retrospectively for all comparative periods presented. The Partnerships are currently evaluating the impact that the pronouncement would have on the financial statements.
In October 2011, the FASB issued a proposed ASU intended to improve and converge financial reporting by setting forth consistent criteria for determining whether an entity is an investment company. Under longstanding U.S. GAAP, investment companies carry all of their investments at fair value, even if they hold a controlling interest in another company. The primary changes being proposed by the FASB relate to which entities would be considered investment companies as well as certain disclosure and presentation requirements. In addition to the changes to the criteria for determining whether an entity is an investment company, the FASB also proposes that an investment company consolidate another investment company if it holds a controlling financial interest in the entity. The Partnerships will evaluate the impact that this proposed update would have on the financial statements once the pronouncement is issued.
In May 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-04,“Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure Requirements in U.S. GAAP and IFRS”. The amendments within this ASU change the wording used to describe many of the requirements in U.S. GAAP for measuring fair value and for disclosing information about fair value measurements to eliminate unnecessary wording differences between U.S. GAAP and IFRS. However, some of the amendments clarify the FASB’s intent about the application of existing fair value measurement requirements and other amendments change a particular principle or requirement for measuring fair value or for disclosing information about fair value measurements. The ASU is effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2011 for public entities. This new guidance is not expected to have a material impact on the Partnerships’ financial statements.

6. | Financial Instruments |
The Partnerships trade Futures Interests. Futures and forwards represent contracts for delayed delivery of an instrument at a specified date and price. Risk arises from changes in the value of these contracts and the potential inability of counterparties to perform under the terms of the contracts. There are numerous factors which may significantly influence the fair value of these contracts, including interest rate volatility.
The fair value of exchange-traded contracts is based on the settlement price quoted by the exchange on the day with respect to which fair value is being determined. If an exchange-traded contract could not have been liquidated on such day due to the operation of daily limits or other rules of the exchange, the settlement price will be equal to the settlement price on the first subsequent day on which the contract could be liquidated. The fair value of off-exchange-traded contracts is based on the fair value quoted by the counterparty.
Morgan Stanley Smith Barney Spectrum Series
Notes to Financial Statements
The Partnerships’ contracts are accounted for on a trade-date basis. A derivative is defined as a financial instrument or other contract that has all three of the following characteristics:
(1) a) One or more “underlyings” and b) one or more “notional amounts” or payment provisions or both;
(2) Requires no initial net investment or a smaller initial net investment than would be required for other types of contracts that would be expected to have a similar response relative to changes in market factors; and
(3) Terms that require or permit net settlement.
Generally, derivatives include futures, forward, swaps or options contracts, and other financial instruments with similar characteristics such as caps, floors, and collars.

Morgan Stanley Smith Barney Spectrum Series
Notes to Financial Statements
In general, the risks associated with off-exchange-traded contracts are greater than those associated with exchange-traded contracts because of the greater risk of default by the counterparty to an off-exchange-traded contract. The Partnerships have credit risk associated with counterparty nonperformance. As of the date of the financial statements, the credit risk associated with the instruments in which the Partnerships trade is limited to the unrealized gains (losses) amounts reflected in the Partnerships’ Statements of Financial Condition. The net unrealized gains (losses) on open contracts is further disclosed gross by type of contract and corresponding fair value level in Note 8, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures.
The Partnerships also have credit risk because MS&Co., MSIP, and/or MSCG act as the futures commission merchants or the counterparties, with respect to most of the Partnerships’ assets. Exchange-traded futures, exchange-traded forward, and exchange-traded futures-styled options contracts are fair valued on a daily basis, with variations in value settled on a daily basis. MS&Co. and MSIP, each acting as a commodity futures broker for each Partnership’s exchange-traded futures, exchange-traded forward, and exchange-traded futures-styled options contracts, are required, pursuant to regulations of the Commodity Futures Trading Commission, to segregate from their own assets, and for the sole benefit of their commodity customers, total cash held by them with respect to exchange-traded futures, exchange-traded forward, and exchange-traded futures-styled options contracts, including an amount equal to the net unrealized gains (losses) on all open exchange-traded futures, exchange-traded forward, and exchange-traded futures-styled options contracts, which in the aggregate, totaled $35,818,805 and $47,998,757 for Spectrum Currency, $14,421,691 and $19,672,733 for Spectrum Global Balanced, $294,109,636 and $418,222,697 for Spectrum Select, $0 and $93,318,356 for Spectrum Strategic, and $229,719,742 and $348,967,875 for Spectrum Technical at December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively. With respect to each Partnership’s off-exchange-traded forward currency contracts and forward currency options contracts, there are no daily settlements of variation in value, nor is there any requirement than an amount equal to the net unrealized gains (losses) on such contracts be segregated. However, each Partnership is required to meet margin requirements equal to the net unrealized loss on open forward currency contracts in each Partnership account with the counterparty, which is accomplished by daily maintenance of the cash balance in a custody account held at MSSB for the benefit of MS&Co. With respect to those off-exchange-traded forward currency contracts, the Partnerships are at risk to the ability of MS&Co., the sole counterparty on all such contracts, to perform. Each Partnership has a netting agreement with the counterparty. The primary terms are based on industry standard master agreements. These agreements, which seek to reduce both the Partnerships’ and the counterparties’ exposure on off-exchange-traded forward currency contracts, including options on such contracts, should materially decrease the Partnerships’ credit risk in the event of MS&Co.’s or MSCG’s bankruptcy or insolvency.
Morgan Stanley Smith Barney Spectrum Series
Notes to Financial Statements
The General Partner monitors and attempts to control the Partnerships’ risk exposure on a daily basis through financial, credit and risk management monitoring systems, and accordingly, believes that it has effective procedures for evaluating and limiting the credit and market risks to which the Partnerships may be subject. These monitoring systems generally allow the General Partner to statistically analyze actual trading results with risk adjusted performance indicators and correlation statistics. In addition, online monitoring systems provide account analysis of futures, forwards and options positions by sector, margin requirements, gain and loss transactions and collateral positions.
The futures, forwards and options traded by the Partnerships involve varying degrees of related market risk. Market risk is often dependent upon changes in the level or volatility of interest rates, exchange rates, and prices of financial instruments and commodities, factors that result in frequent changes in the fair value of the Partnerships’ open positions, and consequently in their earnings, whether realized or unrealized, and cash flow. Gains and losses on open positions of exchange-traded futures, exchange-traded forward, and exchange-traded futures-styled options contracts are settled daily through variation margin. Gains and losses on off-exchange-traded forward currency contracts are settled upon termination of the contract. Gains and losses on off-exchange-traded forward currency options contracts are settled on an agreed-upon settlement date. However, the Partnerships are required to meet margin requirements equal to the net unrealized loss on open forward currency contracts in the Partnerships’ accounts with the counterparty, which is accomplished by daily maintenance of the cash balance in a custody account held at MSSB for the benefit of MS&Co.
Spectrum Strategic’s and Spectrum Technical’s investments in the affiliated underlying funds expose each Partnership to various types of risks that are associated with Futures Interests trading and the markets in which the affiliated underlying funds invest. The significant types of financial risks to which the affiliated underlying funds are exposed are market risk, liquidity risk, and counterparty credit risk, as described above.
7. | Derivatives and Hedging |
The Partnerships’ objective is to profit from speculative trading in Futures Interests. Therefore, the Trading Advisors for each Partnership will take speculative positions in Futures Interests where they feel the best profit opportunities exist for their trading strategy. As such, the average number of contracts outstanding in absolute quantity (the total of the open long and open short positions) has been presented as a part of the volume disclosure, as position direction is not an indicative factor in such volume disclosures. With regard to foreign currency forward trades, each notional quantity amount has been converted to an equivalent contract based upon an industry convention.

8. | Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures |
Financial instruments are carried at fair value, which is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants. Assets and liabilities carried at fair value are classified and disclosed in the following three levels: Level 1 — unadjusted quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities; Level 2 — inputs other than unadjusted quoted market prices that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly
Morgan Stanley Smith Barney Spectrum Series
Notes to Financial Statements
or indirectly (including unadjusted quoted market prices for similar investments, interest rates, credit risk); and Level 3 — unobservable inputs for the asset or liability (including the Partnerships’ own assumptions used in determining the fair value of investments).
In certain cases, the inputs used to measure fair value may fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In such cases, an investment’s level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The Partnerships’ assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement in its entirety requires judgment, and considers factors specific to the investment.
The Partnerships’ assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis are summarized in the following tables by the type of inputs applicable to the fair value measurements.
