Letter to the Shareholders n June 30, 2013 (unaudited)
Dear Shareholder:
In the six months ended June 30, 2013, global risk assets continued to outperform relatively safer assets despite a moderate global economic environment. With U.S. gross domestic product (GDP) growth still below 2%, Europe in recession and China's economy slowing, global central banks continued to pursue both conventional and unconventional means to bolster economic growth. This helped encourage investor confidence in the capital markets for most of the period. However, at the end of May the U.S. Federal Reserve (Fed) signaled that it could begin "tapering" its asset purchase program, known as quantitative easing (QE), sooner than expected. Global equity and bond markets responded with significant volatility, as the announcement took investors by surprise. In June, the Fed tried to calm the markets, emphasizing that tapering will be gradual and dependent on improvements in the economy and that tapering QE is not the same as monetary tightening — in other words, any potential increases to the target federal funds rate remain further down the road.
Domestic Equity Overview
Modest growth in the U.S. economy and a backdrop of accommodative monetary policy drove the U.S. stock market to positive returns for the six-month period ended June 30, 2013. Concerns about the effects of automatic federal spending cuts (called sequestration) and higher payroll taxes, problems in the European debt crisis and slackening growth in China contributed to market volatility throughout the period. Nevertheless, stock prices trended higher overall as investors continued to believe the Federal Reserve (the Fed) and other central banks around the world would continue providing ample liquidity through interest rate cuts and asset purchase programs. Although the Dow Jones Industrial Average and S&P 500® Index, two of the most commonly cited measures of the U.S. stock market, reached new highs in May, the market pulled back in June after the Fed announced its intention to possibly scale back stimulus in the second half of the year.
Fixed Income Overview
Most segments of the bond market declined during the six-month period. Fixed income returns were relatively weak early in 2013, and losses were exacerbated in the final month of the period. The yields on long-term U.S. Treasuries spiked in response to the Fed's tapering comments, with the 10-year Treasury yield exceeding 2.5% at one point (coming from a level well below 2% back in April). Prices across the fixed income spectrum fell, as prices drop when yields rise. The high yield corporate sector was a notable exception, with a small gain for the period, buoyed by demand for the sector's potentially higher relative returns.

Letter to the Shareholders n June 30, 2013 (unaudited) continued
Money market yields continued to be constrained by the Fed's near-zero interest rate policy. While there was some speculation that tapering could begin as early as September, the Fed was careful to point out that the economy must meet certain expectations before its exit strategy would begin. Furthermore, the Fed indicated there have been no changes to its decision to leave the federal funds rate near zero until unemployment and inflation dictate otherwise, which could be 2015 by some estimates.
International Equity Overview
Although Japan was the strongest-performing market on a global basis, international equity markets as a whole underperformed the U.S. market during the reporting period. Japanese equities rallied as the country returned to economic expansion in the first quarter of 2013 (following a recession in the third and fourth quarters of 2012) and the newly appointed governor of the Bank of Japan took decisive steps to combat deflation with a new, aggressive QE program. Europe, however, remained in recession. A bailout in Cyprus, uncertainty in Italy's general elections and signs of distress in Portugal added further downward pressure to European equities during the period. Emerging markets lagged developed markets by a wide margin as the asset class suffered from considerable outflows by investors concerned about slowing growth, particularly in the "BRIC" economies (Brazil, Russia, India and China), and the implications of the Fed's exit from QE.
Money Market Portfolio
An investment in a money market fund is not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other government agency. Although money market funds seek to preserve the value of an investment at $1.00 per share, it is possible to lose money by investing in such funds.
As of June 30, 2013, Select Dimensions – Money Market Portfolio had net assets of approximately $62.2 million with an average portfolio maturity of 25 days. For the seven-day period ended June 30, 2013, the Portfolio's Class X shares provided an effective annualized yield of 0.01% (subsidized) and – 0.55% (non-subsidized) and a current yield of 0.01% (subsidized) and – 0.55% (non-subsidized), while its 30-day moving average yield for June was 0.01% (subsidized) and – 0.52% (non-subsidized). Yield quotations more closely reflect the current earnings of the Portfolio. The non-subsidized yield reflects what the yield would have been had a fee and/or expense waiver not been in place during the period shown. For the six-month period ended June 30, 2013, the Portfolio's Class X shares returned 0.00%. Past performance is no guarantee of future results.
For the seven-day period ended June 30, 2013, the Portfolio's Class Y shares provided an effective annualized yield of 0.01% (subsidized) and – 0.79% (non-subsidized) and a current yield of 0.01%

Yield quotations more closely reflect the current earnings of the Portfolio. The non-subsidized yield reflects what the yield would have been had a fee and/or expense waiver not been in place during the period shown. For the six-month period ended June 30, 2013, the Portfolio's Class Y shares returned 0.00%. Past performance is no guarantee of future results.
The performance of the Portfolio's two share classes varies because each has different expenses. The Portfolio's total returns assume the reinvestment of all distributions but do not reflect the deduction of any charges by your insurance company. Such costs would lower performance.
We continued to remain cautious in our investment approach, focusing on securities with high liquidity and short durations. We believe this approach, together with our investment process, has put us in a favorable position to respond to market uncertainty.
During the period, we purchased what we believe were high-quality fixed and floating rate paper, while maintaining our conservative liquidity metrics. Our management strategy for the Portfolio remained consistent with our long-term focus on capital preservation and high liquidity.
There is no guarantee that any sectors mentioned will continue to perform as discussed above or that securities in such sectors will be held by the Portfolio in the future.
Flexible Income Portfolio
For the six-month period ended June 30, 2013, Select Dimensions – Flexible Income Portfolio Class X shares produced a total return of – 0.62%, outperforming the Barclays Capital Intermediate U.S. Government/Credit Index (the "Index"),1 which returned – 1.45%. For the same period, the Portfolio's Class Y shares returned – 0.78%. Past performance is no guarantee of future results.

Exposure to corporate bonds contributed to the Portfolio's outperformance during the period. Within the Portfolio's corporate bond position, the high yield segment was particularly beneficial due to spread tightening across a variety of sectors, such as capital goods, cyclicals and non-cyclicals, as well as health care.
In contrast, the Portfolio was mainly hurt by its exposure to emerging markets and non-agency mortgage-backed securities. Within emerging markets, the principal countries detracting from performance were Indonesia, Kazakhstan, Indonesia, Mexico, Russia and the Ukraine. The Portfolio's exposure to non-agency mortgages was especially hit at the end of the reporting period, as the markets have begun to worry about the Federal Reserve's (Fed) asset purchase tapering plans. As the mortgage markets are the most sensitive to changes in Fed policy, their performance was particularly hurt by Fed Chairman Bernanke's speech at the end of May, which surprised financial markets with the Fed's intention to begin reducing the amount of its bond buying program later this year. Within the Portfolio's mortgage exposure, the Alt-A segment detracted the most.
Overall, the Portfolio's interest-rate positioning had a positive impact on relative performance. This was mainly due to the underweight to U.S. dollar rates, which rose during the period.
Currency positions, which are managed through the use of currency forwards, added a small amount to performance overall, largely via the Portfolio's underweight to the Australian dollar. This was partially offset by losses from the long position in the Norwegian krone.
Finally, the Portfolio's yield advantage over the Index added to performance.
There is no guarantee that any sectors mentioned will continue to perform as discussed above or that securities in such sectors will be held by the Portfolio in the future.
Global Infrastructure Portfolio
For the six-month period ended June 30, 2013, Select Dimensions – Global Infrastructure Portfolio Class X shares produced a total return of 5.29%, outperforming the Dow Jones Brookfield Global Infrastructure IndexSM (the "Index"),2 which returned 5.12%, and underperforming the S&P Global BMI Index,3 which

returned 6.73%. For the same period, the Portfolio's Class Y shares returned 5.17%. Past performance is no guarantee of future results.
The performance of the Portfolio's two share classes varies because each has different expenses. The Portfolio's total returns assume the reinvestment of all distributions but do not reflect the deduction of any charges by your insurance company. Such costs would lower performance.
Infrastructure shares appreciated 5.12% during the first half of 2013, as measured by the Index, but underperformed global equities. Among the major infrastructure sectors, gas distribution utilities, gas midstream, and transmission and distribution exhibited relative outperformance, while pipeline companies, communications, toll roads, and European regulated utilities underperformed the Index.
Infrastructure performance was mixed in the first half of 2013, as strong sector performance through April gave way to a bout of selling toward the end of the reporting period, brought on predominantly by investor concerns over rising interest rates — in particular in the U.S. — and the perceived impact on valuation and company cost of capital. Investor rotation out of some of the perceived more defensive areas of infrastructure into more cyclically leveraged names may also have had some negative impact; however, we would note that flows into the infrastructure asset class overall remain relatively resilient.
Within the individual sectors, we view the relative outperformance of companies in the gas distribution, gas midstream, and transmission and distribution sectors as a combination of strong cash flow growth brought on by robust capital programs (gas distribution in China, gas midstream in Canada and the U.S., gas distribution in the U.S., in particular for those companies leveraged to liquefied natural gas export development), favorable rate case developments (select U.S. utility companies), and the resolution of dividend tax policy concerns (for U.S. utilities). We attribute the underperformance of pipeline companies to near-term concerns over valuation and company-specific events, the underperformance of communications to the potential for a slowdown in leasing for wireless towers in the U.S. as well as concerns over the impact of "sequestration" on U.S. government contracts for fixed satellite services operators, and the underperformance of European regulated utilities to regulatory interference and the prospects for reduced returns on capital brought on by ongoing rate cases or rate cases resolved in the quarter. Foreign currency trends had a large negative impact on toll roads during the first half, with sector performance largely in line with the overall infrastructure universe on a local currency basis.
At a high level, the dominant investor theme for infrastructure in the first half of 2013 was rising interest rates and their potential to negatively impact valuation. To generally address this, it is important to note that some companies and sectors within infrastructure will be affected more than others. It is also important
5

Letter to the Shareholders n June 30, 2013 (unaudited) continued
to consider why rates are rising (i.e., if the economy is truly improving and improved operating fundamentals will offset rising rates). For many companies within the infrastructure universe, there is a self-correcting mechanism within the regulatory compact that will adjust for higher debt costs and rising interest rates such that the impact on a company is mitigated. Utilities or other regulatory asset based companies broadly fit within this category, as returns are adjusted through the rate case process. For example, in some U.S. jurisdictions such as California, the ability to pass through higher debt costs is formulaic and automatic if certain thresholds are met. For other companies that are not allowed higher returns on invested capital concurrent with rising interest rates, value should decline as rates rise, all else being equal.
While we understand that rising rates can have a negative near-term impact on certain companies within our portfolio, we continue to believe these companies reflect solid long-term investment value. Furthermore, despite the prospect for rising interest rates, we believe infrastructure as an asset class remains broadly appealing to public pension funds and other long-term institutional investors, with private market value continuing to exceed valuation levels in the public markets.
For the first half of 2013, the Portfolio realized favorable performance from bottom-up stock selection, partially offset by adverse top-down allocation. From a bottom-up perspective, the Portfolio benefited from stock selection in the gas distribution utilities, transmission and distribution, communications, and pipeline companies sectors, partially offset by unfavorable selection in the toll roads, gas midstream, and European regulated utilities sectors. From a top-down perspective, the Portfolio benefited from an overweight to the gas distribution utilities sector and an underweight to the European regulated utilities sector, but this was more than offset by adverse positioning in other sectors, most notably with the overweight to pipeline companies and the underweight to gas midstream.
We remain committed to our core investment philosophy as an infrastructure value investor. As value-oriented, bottom-up driven investors, our investment perspective is that over the medium- and long-term, the key factor in determining the performance of infrastructure securities will be underlying infrastructure asset values. Given the large and growing private infrastructure market, we believe that there are limits as to the level of premium or discount at which the public sector should trade relative to its underlying private infrastructure value. These limits can be viewed as the point at which the arbitrage opportunity between owning infrastructure in the private versus public markets becomes compelling. In aiming to achieve core infrastructure exposure in a cost effective manner, we invest in equity securities of publicly listed infrastructure companies we believe offer the best value relative to their underlying infrastructure value and Net Asset Value (NAV) growth prospects.

Our research currently leads us to an overweighting in the Portfolio (amongst the largest sectors) to a group of companies in the pipeline companies, communications and toll roads sectors, and an underweighting to companies in the transmission and distribution, gas midstream, gas distribution utilities and European regulated utilities sectors. When compared to our year-end commentary, the primary changes from a sector perspective (resulting from shifts in company-specific investments) are a re-introduction of an overweight in the communications sector as well as a shift in gas distribution utilities from an overweight to an underweight, brought on primarily by the sale of outperforming Hong Kong-listed Chinese gas distribution utilities.
Looking forward, we continue to see good opportunities in sectors with secular growth themes, in particular energy infrastructure but also in communications. In addition, we believe we have a number of favorable company-specific positions across sectors with attractive total return prospects. These investments have been overlooked by the market during the first half of the year in large part, in our opinion, due to the short-term orientation of the market and a lack of near-term catalysts or the delay in catalyst realization. As long-term investors, we continue to see value in these companies and will wait patiently for these "value highlighting" opportunities to materialize.

additive holding in the sector. Stock selection in the consumer discretionary sector drove relative outperformance, led by a holding in an electric car and components manufacturer. Stock selection in the energy sector was also advantageous. Within the sector, a holding in a solar panel maker contributed the most to performance.
Conversely, the producer durables sector had a detrimental effect on relative performance. Only one of the Portfolio's holdings in the sector detracted from returns, and a lack of exposure to some of the better-performing producer durables stocks was disadvantageous as well. The Portfolio had no exposure to the utilities sector, which also diminished relative returns. An underweight to the health care sector hurt performance but was almost entirely offset by the positive contribution from stock selection in the sector.

hampered by a lack of exposure to some of the better-performing producer durables stocks. An underweight to the health care sector, which was moderately offset by relative gains from stock selection, hurt performance as well. No exposure to the utilities sector further diminished relative returns.

For the six-month period ended June 30, 2013, Select Dimensions – Multi Cap Growth Portfolio Class X shares produced a total return of 11.90%, underperforming the Russell 3000® Growth Index (the "Index"),6 which returned 12.23%.

The health care sector diminished relative performance, due to both stock selection and an underweight. A holding in a pharmaceuticals company was the main detractor. Stock selection and an underweight in the producer durables sector were unfavorable as well. Within the sector, underperformance was driven by a holding in a customer loyalty programs provider and a lack of exposure to other stronger-performing producer durables stocks. Stock selection in the financial services sector also dampened relative results, despite being moderately offset by a beneficial overweight in the sector. The Portfolio's only detractor in the financial services sector was a holding in an insurance and reinsurance company.
However, the technology sector was an area of relative strength, as strong stock selection more than offset the dampening effect of an overweight in the sector. A position in an internet search engine was the leading contributor in the sector. Stock selection in the energy sector also added to relative gains. A holding in a solar panel maker contributed the most to performance within the sector. Stock selection in the consumer discretionary sector boosted relative returns, with outperformance from exposure to an electric car and components manufacturer.

In contrast, the technology sector contributed positively to relative performance, as strong stock selection more than offset relative losses from an overweight in the sector. A professional networking web site was the Portfolio's most additive technology holding.

Expense Examples n June 30, 2013 (unaudited)
As a shareholder of the Portfolio, you incur two types of costs: (1) insurance company charges; and (2) ongoing costs, including advisory fees; administration fees; distribution and services (12b-1) fees; and other Portfolio expenses. These examples are intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Portfolio and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.
These examples are based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period 01/01/13 – 06/30/13.
Actual Expenses
The first line of the table below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first line under the heading entitled "Expenses Paid During Period" to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.
Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes
The second line of the table below provides information about hypothetical expenses based on the 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 cost 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 insurance company charges. Therefore, the second line of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs, and will not help you determine the relative total cost of owning different funds. In addition, if these insurance company charges were included, your costs would have been higher.

Investment Advisory Agreement Approval n June 30, 2013 (unaudited)
Nature, Extent and Quality of Services
The Board reviewed and considered the nature and extent of the investment advisory services provided by the Investment 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 provided by the Administrator (as defined herein) under the administration agreement, including accounting, clerical, bookkeeping, compliance, business management and planning, and the provision of supplies, office space and utilities at the Investment Adviser's expense. (The Investment Adviser, Sub-Advisers and Administrator 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 also compared the nature of the services provided by the Adviser with similar services provided by non-affiliated advisers as reported to the Board by Lipper, Inc. ("Lipper").
The Board reviewed and considered the qualifications of the portfolio managers, the senior administrative managers and other key personnel of the Adviser who provide the 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 provided were necessary and appropriate for the conduct of the business and investment activities of the Portfolios and supported its decision to approve the Management Agreement.
Performance, Fees and Expenses of the Portfolios
The Board reviewed the performance, fees and expenses of the Portfolios compared to their peers, as determined by Lipper, and to appropriate benchmarks where applicable. The Board discussed with the Adviser the performance goals and the actual results achieved in managing the Portfolios. When considering a fund's performance, the Board and the Adviser place emphasis on trends and longer-term returns (focusing on one-year, three-year and five-year performance, as of December 31, 2012, or since inception, as applicable). When a fund underperforms its benchmark and/or its peer group average, they discuss the causes of such underperformance and, where necessary, they discuss specific changes to investment strategy or investment personnel.
Performance
The Board noted that the performance of the Money Market and Flexible Income Portfolios was better than the peer group averages for the one- and three-year periods but below the peer group averages for the five-year period.
19
Morgan Stanley Select Dimensions Investment Series
Investment Advisory Agreement Approval n June 30, 2013 (unaudited) continued
The Board noted that the performance of the Global Infrastructure Portfolio was better than its peer group average for the one-, three- and five-year periods.
The Board noted that the performance of the Growth and Focus Growth Portfolios was better than the peer group averages for the three- and five-year periods but below the peer group averages for the one-year period.
The Board noted that the performance of the Multi Cap Growth and Mid Cap Growth Portfolios was better than the peer group averages for the five-year period but below the peer group averages for the one- and three-year periods.
Performance Conclusions
With respect to the Money Market, Mid Cap Growth and Multi Cap Growth Portfolios, after discussion, the Board concluded that performance was acceptable.
With respect to the Growth, Focus Growth, Flexible Income and Global Infrastructure Portfolios, after discussion, the Board concluded that performance was competitive with the peer group averages.
Fees and Expenses
The Board members discussed with the Adviser the level of the advisory and administration fees (together, the "management fee") for the Portfolios relative to comparable funds and/or other accounts advised by the Adviser and/or compared to their peers as determined by Lipper. In addition to the management fee, the Board also reviewed the Portfolios' total expense ratios. When a fund's management fee and/or its total expense ratio are higher than its peers, the Board and the Adviser discuss the reasons for this and, where appropriate, they discuss possible waivers and/or caps.
The Board noted that the management fees and total expense ratios for the Money Market, Focus Growth, Growth and Mid Cap Growth Portfolios were lower than the peer group averages.
The Board noted for the Flexible Income Portfolio that while the management fee was lower than its peer group average, the total expense ratio was higher than its peer group average.
The Board noted for the Global Infrastructure Portfolio that while the management fee was lower than its peer group average, the total expense ratio was higher but close to its peer group average.
The Board noted for the Multi Cap Growth Portfolio that the management fee and total expense ratio were higher than its peer group averages.

Fee and Expense Conclusions
With respect to the Money Market, Global Infrastructure, Growth, Focus Growth and Mid Cap Growth Portfolios, after discussion, the Board concluded that the management fees and total expense ratios were competitive with the peer group averages.
With respect to the Flexible Income Portfolio, after discussion, the Board concluded that the management fee was competitive with its peer group average and the total expense ratio was acceptable.
With respect to the Multi Cap Growth Portfolio, after discussion, the Board concluded that the management fee and total expense ratio were acceptable.
Economies of Scale
The Board considered the size and growth prospects of the Portfolios and how that relates to the Portfolios' total expense ratios and particularly the Portfolios' management fee rates (which, for all the Portfolios except Flexible Income, include one or more breakpoints). In conjunction with its review of the Adviser's profitability, the Board discussed with the Adviser how a change in assets can affect the efficiency or effectiveness of managing the Portfolios and whether the management fee level is appropriate relative to current and projected asset levels and/or whether the management fee structure reflects economies of scale as asset levels change. The Board has determined that its review of the actual and potential economies of scale of each Portfolio supports its decision to approve the Management Agreement.
Profitability of the Adviser and Affiliates
The Board considered information concerning the costs incurred and profits realized by the Adviser and its affiliates during the last year from their relationship with the Portfolios and during the last two years from their relationship with the Morgan Stanley Fund Complex and reviewed with the Adviser the cost allocation methodology used to determine the profitability of the Adviser and affiliates. The Board has determined that its review of the analysis of the Adviser's expenses and profitability supports its decision to approve the Management Agreement.
Other Benefits of the Relationship
The Board considered other benefits to the Adviser and its affiliates derived from their relationship with the Portfolios and other funds advised by the Adviser. These benefits may include, among other things, "float" benefits derived from handling of checks for purchases and sales, research received by the Adviser generated from commission dollars spent on funds' portfolio trading and fees for distribution and/or shareholder servicing. The Board reviewed with the Adviser each of these arrangements and the reasonableness of the Adviser's costs relative to the services performed.
21
Morgan Stanley Select Dimensions Investment Series
Investment Advisory Agreement Approval n June 30, 2013 (unaudited) continued
The Board has determined that its review of the other benefits received by the Adviser or its affiliates supports its decision to approve the Management Agreement.
Resources of the Adviser and Historical Relationship Between the Portfolios and the Adviser
The Board considered whether the Adviser is financially sound and has the resources necessary to perform its obligations under the Management Agreement. The Board also reviewed and considered the historical relationship between the Portfolios and the Adviser, including the organizational structure of the Adviser, the policies and procedures formulated and adopted by the Adviser for managing the Portfolios' operations and the Board's confidence in the competence and integrity of the senior managers and key personnel of the Adviser. The Board concluded that the Adviser has the financial resources necessary to fulfill its obligations under the Management Agreement and that it is beneficial for the Portfolios to continue their relationship with the Adviser.
Other Factors and Current Trends
The Board considered the controls and procedures adopted and implemented by the Adviser and monitored by the Fund's Chief Compliance Officer and concluded that the conduct of business by the Adviser indicates a good faith effort on its part to adhere to high ethical standards in the conduct of the Fund's business.
General Conclusion
After considering and weighing all of the above factors, the Board concluded that it would be in the best interest of each Portfolio and its shareholders to approve renewal of the Management Agreement for another year. In reaching this conclusion the Board did not give particular weight to any single factor referenced above. The Board considered these factors over the course of numerous meetings, some of which were in executive session with only the independent Board members and their counsel present. It is possible that individual Board members may have weighed these factors differently in reaching their individual decisions to approve the Management Agreement.

1. Organization and Accounting Policies
Morgan Stanley Select Dimensions Investment Series (the "Fund") is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 as amended (the "Act"), as a diversified (except Focus Growth is non-diversified, effective August 8, 2007), open-end management investment company. The Fund is offered exclusively to life insurance companies in connection with particular life insurance and/or annuity contracts they offer.
The Fund, which consists of seven separate portfolios ("Portfolios"), was organized on June 2, 1994, as a Massachusetts business trust and commenced operations on November 9, 1994, with the exception of Multi Cap Growth which commenced operations on January 21, 1997.
On July 24, 2000, the Fund commenced offering one additional class of shares (Class Y shares). The two classes are identical except that Class Y shares incur distribution expenses. Class X shares are generally available to holders of contracts offered before May 1, 2000. Class Y shares are available to holders of contracts offered on or after July 24, 2000.
The investment objectives of each Portfolio are as follows:
PORTFOLIO | INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE | ||||||
Money Market | Seeks high current income, preservation of capital and liquidity. | ||||||
Flexible Income | Seeks, as a primary objective, to provide a high level of current income and, as a secondary objective, to maximize total return, but only to the extent consistent with its primary objective. | ||||||
Global Infrastructure | Seeks both capital appreciation and current income. | ||||||
Growth | Seeks long-term growth of capital. | ||||||
Focus Growth | Seeks long-term capital growth. | ||||||
Multi Cap Growth | Seeks long-term capital growth. | ||||||
Mid Cap Growth | Seeks long-term capital growth. |
The following is a summary of significant accounting policies:
A. Valuation of Investments — Money Market: Portfolio securities are valued at amortized cost, which approximates fair value, in accordance with Rule 2a-7 under the Act. The amortized cost of an instrument is determined by valuing it at its original cost and thereafter amortizing any discount or premium from its face value at a constant rate until maturity. All remaining Portfolios: (1) an equity portfolio security listed or traded on an exchange is valued at its latest reported sales price (or at the exchange official closing price if such exchange reports an official closing price), if there were no sales on a given day, the security is valued at
66
Morgan Stanley Select Dimensions Investment Series
Notes to Financial Statements n June 30, 2013 (unaudited) continued
the mean between the last reported bid and asked prices; (2) all other equity portfolio securities for which over-the-counter market quotations are readily available are valued at the mean between the last reported bid and asked prices. In cases where a security is traded on more than one exchange, the security is valued on the exchange designated as the primary market; (3) quotations of foreign portfolio securities, other assets and liabilities and forward contracts stated in foreign currency are translated into U.S. dollar equivalents at the prevailing market rates prior to the close of the New York Stock Exchange ("NYSE"); (4) futures are valued at the latest price published by the commodities exchange on which they trade; (5) swaps are marked-to-market daily based upon quotations from market makers; (6) when market quotations are not readily available, including circumstances under which Morgan Stanley Investment Management Inc. (the "Adviser") or Morgan Stanley Investment Management Limited or Morgan Stanley Investment Management Company (each, a "Sub-Adviser"), each a wholly owned subsidiary of Morgan Stanley, determines that the closing price, last sale price or the mean between the last reported bid and asked prices are not reflective of a security's market value, portfolio securities are valued at their fair value as determined in good faith under procedures established by and under the general supervision of the Fund's Board of Trustees (the "Trustees"). Occasionally, developments affecting 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 developments occur during such periods that are expected to materially affect the value of such securities, such valuations may be adjusted to reflect the estimated fair value of such securities as of the close of the NYSE, as determined in good faith by the Trustees or by the Adviser using a pricing service and/or procedures approved by the Trustees; (7) certain portfolio securities may be valued by an outside pricing service approved by the Trustees. The pricing service may utilize a matrix system or other model incorporating attributes such as security quality, maturity and coupon as the evaluation model parameters, and/or research evaluations by its staff, including review of broker-dealer market price quotations in determining what it believes is the fair valuation of the portfolio securities valued by such pricing service; (8) investments in mutual funds, including the Morgan Stanley Institutional Liquidity Funds, are valued at the net asset value as of the close of each business day; and (9) short-term debt securities with remaining maturities of 60 days or less at the time of purchase may be valued at amortized cost, unless the Adviser determines such valuation does not reflect the securities' market value, in which case these securities will be valued at their fair market value determined by the Adviser.
Under procedures approved by the Trustees, the Fund's Adviser has formed a Valuation Committee. The Valuation Committee provides administration and oversight of the Fund's valuation policies and procedures, which are reviewed at least annually by the Trustees. These procedures allow the Fund to utilize independent pricing services, quotations from securities and financial instrument dealers, and other market sources to determine fair value.
67
Morgan Stanley Select Dimensions Investment Series
Notes to Financial Statements n June 30, 2013 (unaudited) continued
The Fund has procedures to determine the fair value of securities and other financial instruments for which market prices are not readily available. Under these procedures, the Valuation Committee convenes on a regular and ad hoc basis to review such securities and considers a number of factors, including valuation methodologies and significant unobservable valuation inputs, when arriving at fair value. The Valuation Committee may employ a market-based approach which may use related or comparable assets or liabilities, recent transactions, market multiples, book values, and other relevant information for the investment to determine the fair value of the investment. An income-based valuation approach may also be used in which the anticipated future cash flows of the investment are discounted to calculate fair value. Discounts may also be applied due to the nature or duration of any restrictions on the disposition of the investments. Due to the inherent uncertainty of valuations of such investments, the fair values may differ significantly from the values that would have been used had an active market existed. The Valuation Committee employs various methods for calibrating these valuation approaches including a regular review of valuation methodologies, key inputs and assumptions, transactional back-testing or disposition analysis, and reviews of any related market activity.
B. Accounting for Investments — Security transactions are accounted for on the trade date (date the order to buy or sell is executed). Realized gains and losses on security transactions are determined by the identified cost method. Dividend income and other distributions are recorded on the ex-dividend date except for certain dividends on foreign securities which are recorded as soon as the Fund is informed after the ex-dividend date. Interest income is accrued daily as earned except where collection is not expected. Discounts are accreted and premiums are amortized over the life of the respective securities and are included in interest income.
C. Repurchase Agreements — The Fund invests directly with institutions in repurchase agreements. The Fund's custodian receives the collateral, which is marked-to-market daily to determine that the value of the collateral does not decrease below the repurchase price plus accrued interest as earned. If such a decrease occurs, additional collateral will be requested and, when received, will be added to the account to maintain full collateralization.
The following table presents financial instruments that are subject to enforceable netting arrangements as of June 30, 2013.

(1) The actual collateral received is greater than the amount shown here due to overcollateralization.

Notes to Financial Statements n June 30, 2013 (unaudited) continued
D. Multiple Class Allocations — Investment income, expenses (other than distribution fees), and realized and unrealized gains and losses are allocated to each class of shares based upon the relative net asset value on the date such items are recognized. Distribution fees are charged directly to the respective class.
E. Foreign Currency Translation and Foreign Investments — The books and records of the Fund are maintained in U.S. dollars. Foreign currency amounts are translated into U.S. dollars at the mean of the bid and asked prices of such currencies against U.S. dollars last quoted by a major bank 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 held at period end. Similarly, the Fund does not isolate the effect of changes in foreign exchange rates from the fluctuations arising from changes in the market prices of securities sold during the period. Accordingly, realized and unrealized foreign currency gains (losses) on investments in securities are included in the reported net realized and unrealized gains (losses) on investment transactions and balances. However, pursuant to U.S. Federal income tax regulations, gains and losses from certain foreign currency transactions and the foreign currency portion of gains and losses realized on sales and maturities of foreign denominated debt securities are treated as ordinary income for U.S. Federal income tax purposes.
Net realized gains (losses) on foreign currency transactions represent net foreign exchange gains (losses) from foreign currency forward 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) on foreign currency translations for the period is reflected in 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.

F. 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 Portfolio of Investments.
G. When-Issued/Delayed Delivery Securities — The Fund may purchase or sell when-issued and delayed delivery securities. Securities purchased on a when-issued or delayed delivery basis are purchased for delivery beyond the normal settlement date at a stated price, and no income accrues to the Fund on such securities prior to delivery date. Payment and delivery for when-issued and delayed delivery securities can take place a month or more after the date of the transaction. When the Fund enters into a purchase transaction on a when-issued or delayed delivery basis, securities are available for collateral in an amount at least equal in value to the Fund's commitments to purchase such securities. Purchasing securities on a when-issued or delayed delivery basis may involve a risk that the market price at the time of delivery may be lower than the agreed upon purchase price, in which case there could be an unrealized loss at the time of delivery. Purchasing investments on a when-issued or delayed delivery basis may be considered a form of leverage which may increase the impact that gains (losses) may have on the Fund.
H. Securities Lending — Certain Portfolios may lend securities to qualified financial institutions, such as broker-dealers, to earn additional income. Any increase or decrease in the fair value of the securities loaned that might occur and any interest earned or dividends declared on those securities during the term of the loan would remain in the Portfolio. The Portfolio receives 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 State Street Bank and Trust Company ("State Street"), 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 high-quality short-term investments. 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.

The Portfolio has the right under the lending agreement to recover the securities from the borrower on demand.
The following table presents financial instruments that are subject to enforceable netting arrangements as of June 30, 2013.
GROSS AMOUNTS NOT OFFSET IN THE STATEMENTS OF ASSETS AND LIABILITIES | |||||||||||||||||||
PORTFOLIO | GROSS ASSET AMOUNT PRESENTED IN STATEMENTS OF ASSETS AND LIABILITIES | FINANCIAL INSTRUMENT | COLLATERAL RECEIVED | NET AMOUNT (NOT LESS THAN 0) | |||||||||||||||

(1) Represents market value of loaned securities at period end.
(2) The Portfolio received cash collateral of $2,842,160, of which $2,522,029 was subsequently invested in Repurchase Agreements and Morgan Stanley Institutional Liquidity Funds as reported in the Portfolio of Investments. As of June 30, 2013, there was uninvested cash collateral of $320,131 which is not reflected in the Portfolio of Investments.
(3) The actual collateral received is greater than the amount shown here due to overcollateralization.
I. Dividends and Distributions to Shareholders — Dividends and distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date.
J. Expenses — Direct expenses are charged to the respective Portfolio and general Fund expenses are allocated on the basis of relative net assets or equally among the Portfolios.
K. Use of Estimates — The preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States ("GAAP") requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts and disclosures. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
L. 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.
2. Fair Valuation Measurements
Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures ("ASC 820"), defines fair value as the value 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 valuing an asset or liability developed based on market data obtained from sources independent of the reporting entity (observable inputs); and (2) inputs that reflect

Notes to Financial Statements n June 30, 2013 (unaudited) continued
the reporting entity's own assumptions about the assumptions market participants would use in valuing an asset or liability developed based on the best information available in the circumstances (unobservable inputs) and to establish classification of fair value measurements for disclosure purposes. Various inputs are used in determining the value of the 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.
The following is a summary of the inputs used to value each Portfolio's investments as of June 30, 2013.

Transfers between investment levels may occur as the markets fluctuate and/or the availability of data used in an investment's valuation changes. The Fund recognizes transfers between the levels as of the end of the period. As of December 31, 2012, the fair 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. As of June 30, 2013, securities transferred from Level 2 to Level 1. The values of the transfers were as follows:

3. Derivatives
Certain Portfolios may, but are not required to, use derivative instruments for a variety of purposes, including hedging, risk management, portfolio management or to earn income. Derivatives are financial instruments whose value is based on the value of an underlying asset, interest rate, index or financial instrument. A derivative instrument often has risks similar to its underlying asset and may have additional risks, including imperfect correlation between the value of the derivative and the underlying asset, risks of default by the counterparty 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.
80

Notes to Financial Statements n June 30, 2013 (unaudited) continued
Certain derivative transactions may give rise to a form of leverage. Leverage magnifies the potential for gain and risk of loss. 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 Adviser and/or Sub-Advisers seek to use derivatives to further the Portfolio's 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 the Portfolios used during the period and their associated risks:
Foreign Currency Forward Exchange Contracts In connection with its investments in foreign securities, certain Portfolios entered into contracts with banks, brokers or dealers to purchase or sell securities or foreign currencies at a future date. A foreign currency forward exchange contract ("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. 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 additional risk to the extent that currency contracts create exposure to currencies in which a Portfolio's securities are not denominated. Unanticipated changes in currency prices may result in poorer overall performance for a Portfolio than if it had not entered into such contracts. The use of currency contracts involves the risk of loss from the insolvency or bankruptcy of the counterparty to the contract or the failure of the counterparty to make payments or otherwise comply with the terms of the contract. A currency contract is marked-to-market daily and the change in market value is recorded by a Portfolio as unrealized gain or loss. A Portfolio records realized gains (losses) when the 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.
Futures A futures contract is a standardized, exchange-traded agreement 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. 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
81
Morgan Stanley Select Dimensions Investment Series
Notes to Financial Statements n June 30, 2013 (unaudited) continued
changes in the value of the contract (the variation margin). A decision as to whether, when and how to use futures contracts 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 contracts can be highly volatile, using futures contracts can lower total return, and the potential loss from futures contracts can exceed a Portfolio's initial investment in such contracts. No assurance can be given that a liquid market will exist for any particular futures contract at any particular time. There is also the risk of loss by the Portfolio of margin deposits in the event of bankruptcy of a broker with whom the Portfolio has open positions in the futures contract.
Swaps An over-the-counter ("OTC") swap contract is an agreement between two parties pursuant to which the parties exchange payments at specified dates on the basis of a specified notional amount, with the payments calculated by reference to specified securities, indices, reference rates, currencies or other instruments. Most swap agreements provide that when the period payment dates for both parties are the same, the payments are made on a net basis (i.e., the two payment streams are netted out, with only the net amount paid by one party to the other). A Portfolio's obligations or rights under a swap contract entered into on a net basis will generally be equal only to the net amount to be paid or received under the agreement, based on the relative values of the positions held by each party. Many swap agreements are not entered into or traded on exchanges and often there is no central clearing or guaranty function for swaps. These OTC swaps are often subject to credit risk or the risk of default or non-performance by the counterparty. Swaps could result in losses if interest rates or foreign currency exchange rates or credit quality changes are not correctly anticipated by a Portfolio or if the reference index, security or investments do not perform as expected.
A Portfolio enters into credit default, interest rate and other forms of swap agreements to manage exposure to credit and interest rate risks.
A Portfolio's use of swaps during the period included those based on the credit of an underlying security, commonly referred to as credit default swaps. Where a Portfolio is the buyer of a credit default swap contract, it would be entitled to receive the par (or other agreed-upon) value of a referenced debt obligation from the counterparty to the contract only in the event of a default or similar event by the issuer of the debt obligation. If no default occurs, a Portfolio would have paid to the counterparty a periodic stream of payments over the term of the contract and received no benefit from the contract. When a Portfolio is the seller of a credit default swap contract, it receives the stream of payments but is obligated to pay an amount equal to the par (or other agreed upon) value of a referenced debt obligation upon the default or similar event of the issuer of the referenced debt obligation. The Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act and related regulatory developments require the clearing and exchange-trading of certain OTC swap agreements. Mandatory exchange-trading and clearing is occurring on a phased-in basis.

The current credit rating of each individual issuer is listed in the table following the Portfolio of Investments and serves as an indicator of the current status of the payment/performance risk of the credit derivative. Alternatively, for credit default swaps on an index of credits, the quoted market prices and current values serve as an indicator of the current status of the payment/performance risk of the credit derivative. Generally, lower credit ratings and increasing market values, in absolute terms, represent a deterioration of the credit and a greater likelihood of an adverse credit event of the issuer.
When a Portfolio has an unrealized loss on a swap agreement, the Portfolio has instructed the custodian to pledge cash or liquid securities as collateral with a value approximately equal to the amount of the unrealized loss. Collateral pledges are monitored and subsequently adjusted if and when the swap valuations fluctuate. If applicable, cash collateral is included with "Due from (to) Broker" in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities.
Upfront payments received or paid by a Portfolio will be reflected as an asset or liability in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities.
FASB 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 a Portfolio uses derivative instruments, how these derivative instruments are accounted for and their effects on a Portfolio's financial position and results of operations.

7. Purposes of and Risks Relating to Certain Financial Instruments
Certain Portfolios may lend securities to qualified financial institutions, such as broker-dealers, to earn additional income. Risks in securities lending transactions are that a borrower may not provide additional collateral when required or return the securities when due, and that the value of the short-term investments will be less than the amount of cash collateral plus any rebate that is required to be returned to the borrower.
Certain Portfolios may invest in mortgage securities, including securities issued by Federal National Mortgage Association ("FNMA") and Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation ("FHLMC"). These are fixed income securities that derive their value from or represent interests in a pool of mortgages or mortgage securities. An unexpectedly high rate of defaults on the mortgages held by a mortgage pool may adversely affect the value of a mortgage backed security and could result in losses to the Portfolio. The risk of such defaults is generally higher in the case of mortgage pools that include sub-prime mortgages. Sub-prime mortgages refer to loans made to borrowers with weakened credit histories or with a lower capacity to make timely payments on their mortgages. The securities issued by FNMA and FHLMC that are held by the Portfolios are not backed by sub-prime mortgages.
90
Morgan Stanley Select Dimensions Investment Series

Additionally, securities issued by FNMA and FHLMC are not backed by or entitled to the full faith and credit of the United States; rather, they are supported by the right of the issuer to borrow from the U.S. Department of the Treasury.
The Federal Housing Finance Agency ("FHFA") serves as conservator of FNMA and FHLMC and the U.S. Department of the Treasury has agreed to provide capital as needed to ensure FNMA and FHLMC continue to provide liquidity to the housing and mortgage markets.
The Money Market Portfolio may enter into repurchase agreements under which the Portfolio sends cash and takes possession of securities with an agreement that the counterparty will repurchase such securities. In the event of default on the obligation to repurchase, the Portfolio has the right to liquidate the collateral and apply the proceeds in satisfaction of the obligation. In the event of default or bankruptcy by the counterparty to the agreement, realization of the collateral proceeds may be subject to certain costs and delays.
8. Federal Income Tax Status
It is the Portfolios' 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. Interest income is recognized on an accrual basis. Dividends from net investment income, if any, are declared and paid annually. Net realized capital gains, if any, are distributed at least annually.
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" in the Statements of Operations. The Portfolios file tax returns with the U.S. Internal Revenue Service, New York and various states. Each of the tax years in the four-year period ended December 31, 2012, remains subject to examination by taxing authorities.

The tax character of distributions paid may differ from the character of distributions shown in 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 years 2012 and 2011 was as follows:

The amount and character of income and gains to be distributed are determined in accordance with income tax regulations which may differ from GAAP. These book/tax differences are either considered temporary or permanent in nature.
Temporary differences are primarily due 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 foreign currency transactions, swap transactions, paydown adjustments, book amortization of premium on debt securities, expiring capital losses, net operating losses, partnership basis adjustments and certain equity securities designated as issued by passive foreign investment companies, resulted in the following reclassifications among the Portfolio's components of net assets at December 31, 2012:

On December 22, 2010, the Regulated Investment Company Modernization Act of 2010 (the "Modernization Act") was signed into law. The Modernization Act modernizes several tax provisions related to Regulated Investment Companies ("RICs") and their shareholders. One key change made by the Modernization Act is that capital losses will generally retain their character as short-term or long-term and may be carried forward indefinitely to offset future gains. These losses are utilized before other capital loss carryforwards that expire. Generally, the Modernization Act is effective for taxable years beginning after December 22, 2010.
At December 31, 2012, the following Portfolios had available for Federal income tax purposes unused short-term capital losses that will not expire:
