JOINT PROXY STATEMENT

This Joint Proxy Statement is furnished by the Board of Directors (each a "Board" and collectively, the "Boards") of each of the funds listed above (each a "Fund" and collectively, the "Funds") in connection with the solicitation of Proxies by the Board for use at the Annual Meeting of Stockholders of each Fund (each a "Meeting" and collectively, the "Meetings") to be held on June 21, 2016, at 522 Fifth Avenue, 3rd Floor, New York, NY 10036. It is expected that the Notice of Annual Meetings of Stockholders, Joint Proxy Statement and Proxy Card will first be mailed to stockholders of the Funds ("Stockholders") on or about May 9, 2016. The purpose of the Meetings, the matters to be acted upon and the commencement time of each Meeting are set forth in the accompanying Notice of Annual Meetings of Stockholders.

If the enclosed form of proxy for a Fund is properly executed and returned in time, or is submitted by telephone or Internet, to be voted at the Meetings, the proxies named therein will vote the shares of common stock with respect to the Funds (collectively, the "Shares") represented by it in accordance with the instructions marked thereon. Unmarked proxies submitted by Stockholders will be voted FOR each of the nominees for election as Director of that Fund as set forth in the accompanying Notice of Annual Meetings of Stockholders and this Joint Proxy Statement. A proxy may be revoked at any time prior to its exercise by any of the following: written notice of revocation to the Secretary of the Funds, execution and delivery of a later dated proxy to the Secretary of the Funds (whether by mail or, as discussed below, by touchtone telephone or the Internet) (if returned and received in time to be voted), or attendance and voting at the Meetings. Attendance at the Meetings will not in and of itself revoke a proxy. In order to revoke a proxy in person at the Meetings, Stockholders must either submit a subsequent proxy or vote in person and request that their proxy be revoked. Stockholders whose Shares are held in street name by a broker of record and who wish to vote in person at the Meetings must obtain a legal proxy from their broker and present it at the Meetings to the inspector of elections.

The Board has fixed the close of business on April 7, 2016 as the record date for the determination of Stockholders entitled to notice of, and to vote at, the Meetings and at any adjournments or postponements thereof. On that date, the following number of Shares of each Fund were outstanding and entitled to vote:

APF	13,867,210	Shares
CAF	21,881,465	Shares
MSD	21,447,058	Shares
EDD	67,125,800	Shares
MSF	14,482,192	Shares
ICB	8,963,335	Shares
IIF	14,815,362	Shares
LDF	6,809,128	Shares
TTF	12,138,232	Shares
TKF	4,673,414	Shares

The cost of soliciting proxies for the Meeting, consisting principally of printing and mailing expenses, will be borne by each respective Fund. The solicitation of proxies will be by mail, which may be supplemented by solicitation by mail, telephone or otherwise through Directors and officers of the Funds or officers and regular employees of Morgan Stanley Investment Management Inc. ("MSIM" or the "Adviser"), the investment adviser for each Fund and the administrator for each Fund, Morgan Stanley & Co. LLC ("Morgan Stanley & Co.") and/or Morgan Stanley Smith Barney LLC, without special compensation therefor. In addition, the Funds may employ Computershare Inc. (operating through its Computershare Fund Services division), a Delaware Corporation ("CFS"), as proxy solicitor if it appears that the required number of votes to achieve a quorum will not be received. The transfer agent services for each Fund are currently provided by Computershare Trust Company, N.A.

Stockholders will be able to authorize proxies to vote their Shares by touchtone telephone or by Internet by following the instructions on the Proxy Card accompanying this Joint Proxy Statement. The Internet procedures are designed to authenticate a Stockholder's identity to allow Stockholders to vote their Shares and confirm that their instructions have been properly recorded. To vote by Internet or by touchtone telephone, Stockholders can access the website or call the toll-free number listed on the Proxy Card. To vote by touchtone telephone or by Internet, Stockholders will need the number that appears on the Proxy Card or Voting Information Card in the shaded box.

In certain instances, CFS may call Stockholders to ask if they would be willing to have their votes recorded by telephone. The telephone voting procedure is designed to authenticate Stockholders' identities, to allow Stockholders to authorize the voting of their Shares in accordance with their instructions and to confirm that their instructions have been recorded properly. No recommendation will be made as to how a Stockholder should vote on any Proposal other than to refer to the recommendations of the Board. Each Fund has been advised by counsel that these procedures are consistent with the requirements of applicable law. Stockholders voting by telephone in this manner will be asked for identifying information and will be given an opportunity to authorize proxies to vote their Shares in accordance with their instructions. To ensure that the Stockholders' instructions have been recorded correctly, they will receive a confirmation of their instructions in the mail. A special toll-free number set forth in the confirmation will be available in case the information contained in the confirmation is incorrect. Although a Stockholder's vote may be taken by telephone, each Stockholder will receive a copy of this Joint Proxy Statement and may vote by mail using the enclosed Proxy Card or by Internet or touchtone telephone as set forth above. The last proxy vote received in time to be voted, whether by Internet, mailed Proxy Card or touchtone telephone, will be the vote that is counted and will revoke all previous votes by the Stockholder. In the event that CFS is retained as proxy solicitor, CFS will be paid a project management fee as well as telephone solicitation expenses incurred for reminder calls, outbound telephone voting, confirmation of telephone votes, inbound telephone contact, obtaining Stockholders' telephone numbers and

4

providing additional materials upon Stockholder request, at an estimated cost of $2,000, which would be borne evenly by the Funds. Any additional expenses incurred by CFS with respect to the Funds collectively will be split pro rata among the Funds according to net assets. Any additional expenses incurred by CFS with respect to a specific Fund will be paid by such Fund.

Each Fund will furnish, without charge, a copy of its annual report for its fiscal year ended December 31, 2015 (September 30, 2015 for ICB and October 31, 2015 for EDD and TKF) to any Stockholder of such Fund requesting such report. Requests for annual and/or semi-annual reports should be made in writing to the respective Fund, Morgan Stanley Closed-End Funds, c/o CFS, P.O. Box 30170, College Station, TX 77842-3170, by calling toll-free (800) 231-2608 or by visiting the Adviser's Internet website at www.morganstanley.com/im.

MSIM serves as each Fund's administrator. The business address of MSIM is 522 Fifth Avenue, New York, NY 10036. State Street Bank and Trust Company serves as sub-administrator to the Funds. The business address of State Street Bank and Trust Company is One Lincoln Street, Boston, MA 02111-2101.

This Joint Proxy Statement is being used in order to reduce the preparation, printing, handling and postage expenses that would result from the use of a separate proxy statement for each Fund. Shares of a Fund are entitled to one vote each at the respective Fund's Meeting and each fraction of a share will be entitled to the fraction of a vote equal to the proportion of a full share represented by the fractional share. To the extent information relating to common ownership is available to the Funds, a Stockholder that owns record Shares in two or more of the Funds will receive a package containing a Joint Proxy Statement and Proxy Cards for the Funds in which such Stockholder is a record owner. If the information relating to common ownership is not available to the Funds, a Stockholder that beneficially owns Shares in two or more Funds may receive two or more packages each containing a Joint Proxy Statement and a Proxy Card for each Fund in which such Stockholder is a beneficial owner. If the proposed election of Directors is approved by Stockholders of one Fund and disapproved by Stockholders of other Funds, the Proposal will be implemented for the Fund that approved the Proposal and will not be implemented for any Fund that did not approve the Proposal. Thus, it is essential that Stockholders complete, date, sign and return each enclosed Proxy Card or vote by telephone or the Internet as indicated in each Fund's Proxy Card.

Only one Proxy Statement will be delivered to multiple Stockholders sharing an address, unless a Fund has received contrary instructions. Each Fund will furnish, upon written or oral request, a separate copy of the Joint Proxy Statement to a Stockholder at a shared address to which a single Joint Proxy Statement was delivered. Requests for a separate Joint Proxy Statement, and notifications to a Fund that a Stockholder wishes to receive separate copies in the future, should be made in writing to the respective Fund, Morgan Stanley Closed-End Funds, c/o CFS, P.O. Box 30170, College Station, TX 77842-3170, or by calling toll-free (800) 231-2608. Multiple Stockholders who are sharing an address and currently receiving multiple copies of periodic reports and proxy statements may request to receive only one copy of such reports and proxy statements by calling toll-free (800) 231-2608.

The Board of Directors of each Fund recommends that you vote "FOR" the election of the nominees as Directors for that Fund as set forth in Proposal No. 1 of the Notice of Annual Meetings of Stockholders and this Joint Proxy Statement. Your vote is important. Please return your Proxy Card promptly no matter how many Shares you own.

Pursuant to each Fund's By-Laws, each Director holds office until the expiration of his or her term and until his or her successor has been elected and qualified, or until his or her earlier death, resignation or removal as provided by statute or the applicable charter.

Board Structure and Oversight Function

Each Board's leadership structure features an Independent Director serving as Chairperson and the Board Committees described below. The Chairperson participates in the preparation of the agenda for meetings of Board of Directors of each Fund and the preparation of information to be presented to the Board with respect to matters to be acted upon by the Board of Directors of each Fund. The Chairperson also presides at all meetings of the Board of Directors of each Fund and is involved in discussions regarding matters pertaining to the oversight of the management of the Funds between meetings.

The Board of Directors of each Fund operates using a system of committees to facilitate the timely and efficient consideration of all matters of importance to the Directors, the Funds and Fund Stockholders, and to facilitate compliance with legal and regulatory requirements and oversight of the Fund's activities and associated risks. The Board of Directors of each Fund (except IIF) has established five standing committees: (1) Audit Committee, (2) Governance Committee, (3) Compliance and Insurance Committee, (4) Investment Committee and (5) Closed-End Fund Committee. The Board of Directors of IIF has established two standing committees: (1) Audit Committee and (2) Governance Committee. The Audit Committee, the Governance Committee and the Closed-End Fund Committee are comprised exclusively of Independent Directors. The Compliance and Insurance Committee and the Investment Committee are each comprised of Independent Directors and one interested Director, James F. Higgins. Each committee charter governs the scope of the committee's responsibilities with respect to the oversight of the Funds. The responsibilities of each committee, including their oversight responsibilities, are described further under the caption "Board Meetings and Committees" below.

Each Fund is subject to a number of risks, including investment, compliance, operational and valuation risk, among others. The Board of Directors oversees these risks as part of its broader oversight of each Fund's affairs through various Board and committee activities. The Board has adopted, and periodically reviews, policies and procedures designed to address various risks to the Funds. In addition, appropriate personnel, including but not limited to the Funds' Chief Compliance Officer, members of the Funds' administration and accounting teams, representatives from the Funds' independent registered public accounting firm, the Funds' Treasurer, portfolio management personnel and independent valuation and brokerage evaluation service providers, make regular reports regarding the Funds' activities and related risks to the Board of Directors of each Fund and the committees, as appropriate. These reports include, among others, quarterly performance reports, quarterly derivatives activity and risk reports and discussions with members of the risk teams relating to each asset class. The Board's committee structure allows separate committees to focus on different aspects of risk and the potential impact of these risks on some or all of the funds in the complex and then report back to the full Board. In between regular meetings, Fund officers also communicate with the Directors regarding material exceptions and items relevant to the Board's risk oversight function. The Board recognizes that it is not possible to identify all of the risks that may affect a Fund, and that it is not possible to develop processes and controls to eliminate all of the risks that may affect a Fund. Moreover, the Board recognizes that it may be necessary for the Funds to bear certain risks (such as investment risk) to achieve their investment objective.

As needed between meetings of the Board of Directors of each Fund, the Board or a specific committee receives and reviews reports relating to the Funds and engages in discussions with appropriate parties relating to the Funds' operations and related risks.

7

Board Meetings and Committees

The Board of Directors of each Fund has a separately-designated standing Audit Committee established in accordance with Section 3(a)(58)(A) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "1934 Act"). Each Audit Committee is charged with recommending to the full Board the engagement or discharge of each Fund's independent registered public accounting firm; directing investigations into matters within the scope of the independent registered public accounting firm's duties, including the power to retain outside specialists; reviewing with the independent registered public accounting firm the audit plan and results of the auditing engagement; approving professional services provided by the independent registered public accounting firm and other accounting firms prior to the performance of the services; reviewing the independence of the independent registered public accounting firm; considering the range of audit and non-audit fees; reviewing the adequacy of each Fund's system of internal controls; and reviewing the valuation process. Each Fund has adopted a formal, written Audit Committee Charter.

The members of the Audit Committee of each Fund other than IIF are currently Jakki L. Haussler, Joseph J. Kearns, Michael F. Klein and W. Allen Reed. The members of IIF's Audit Committee are currently M.J. Marcel Vivian Descroizilles, Ravindranath Santosh Kumar Hazareesing, Joseph J. Kearns, Mamode Izam Nathadkhan and Fergus Reid. None of the members of the Funds' Audit Committees is an "interested person," as defined under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "1940 Act"), of any of the Funds (with such disinterested Directors being "Independent Directors" or individually, an "Independent Director"). Each Independent Director is also "independent" from each Fund as defined under the listing standards of the New York Stock Exchange, Inc. ("NYSE"). The Chairperson of the Audit Committee of all of the Funds is Joseph J. Kearns.

The Board of Directors of each Fund also has a Governance Committee. The Governance Committee identifies individuals qualified to serve as Independent Directors on each Fund's Board and on committees of such Board and recommends such qualified individuals for nomination by the Fund's Independent Directors as candidates for election as Independent Directors, advises each Fund's Board with respect to Board composition, procedures and committees, develops and recommends to each Fund's Board a set of corporate governance principles applicable to the Funds, monitors and makes recommendations on corporate governance matters and policies and procedures of each Fund's Board of Directors and any Board committees and oversees periodic evaluations of each Fund's Board and its committees. Each Fund has adopted a formal, written Governance Committee Charter. A further description of, among other things, the goals and responsibilities of the Governance Committee with respect to Board candidates and nominees and Board composition, procedures and committees can be found in the Governance Committee Charter for each Fund. The members of the Governance Committee of each Fund other than IIF are Kathleen A. Dennis, Michael E. Nugent and Fergus Reid, each of whom is an Independent Director. In addition, Michael E. Nugent (as Chair of the Morgan Stanley Funds) periodically may attend other operating committee meetings. The members of IIF's Governance Committee are currently M.J. Marcel Vivian Descroizilles, Ravindranath Santosh Kumar Hazareesing, Joseph J. Kearns, Mamode Izam Nathadkhan and Fergus Reid, each of whom is an Independent Director. The Chairperson of each Fund's Governance Committee is Fergus Reid.

None of the Funds has a separate nominating committee. While each Fund's Governance Committee recommends qualified candidates for nominations as Independent Directors, the Board of Directors of each Fund believes that the task of nominating prospective Independent Directors is important enough to require the participation of all current Independent Directors, rather than a separate committee consisting of only certain Independent Directors. Accordingly, all the Independent Directors participate in the selection and nomination of candidates for election as Independent Directors for the respective Funds for

8

which the Independent Director serves. Persons recommended by each Fund's Governance Committee as candidates for nomination as Independent Directors shall possess such experience, qualifications, attributes, skills and diversity so as to enhance the Board's ability to manage and direct the affairs and business of the Fund, including, when applicable, to enhance the ability of committees of the Board to fulfill their duties and/or to satisfy any independence requirements imposed by law, regulation or any listing requirements of the NYSE. While the Independent Directors of each of the Funds expect to be able to continue to identify from their own resources an ample number of qualified candidates for each Fund's Board as they deem appropriate, they will consider nominations from Stockholders to the Board. Nominations from Stockholders should be in writing and sent to the Independent Directors as described below under "Stockholder Communications."

The Board of each Fund (other than IIF) formed a Compliance and Insurance Committee to address insurance coverage and oversee the compliance function for the Fund and the Board. The Compliance and Insurance Committee of each Fund currently consists of Frank L. Bowman, Nancy C. Everett, James F. Higgins and Manuel H. Johnson. Frank L. Bowman, Nancy C. Everett and Manuel H. Johnson are Independent Directors. The Chairperson of the Compliance and Insurance Committee of each Fund is Frank L. Bowman.

Each Fund (other than IIF) has an Investment Committee that oversees the portfolio investment process for and reviews the performance of the Fund. The Investment Committee also recommends to the Board to approve or renew the Fund's Investment Advisory and Administration Agreements. The members of the Investment Committee are Frank L. Bowman, Kathleen A. Dennis, Nancy C. Everett, Jakki L. Haussler, James F. Higgins, Manuel H. Johnson, Joseph J. Kearns, Michael F. Klein, Michael E. Nugent, W. Allen Reed and Fergus Reid. The Chairperson of the Investment Committee of each Fund is Manuel H. Johnson.

The Investment Committee of each Fund (other than IIF) has three Sub-Committees, each with its own Chairperson. Each Sub-Committee focuses on the Funds' primary areas of investment, namely equities, fixed income and alternatives. The Sub-Committees and their members are as follows:

(1)  Equity — W. Allen Reed (Chairperson), Frank L. Bowman, Nancy C. Everett and Michael E. Nugent.

(2)  Fixed Income — Michael F. Klein (Chairperson) and Fergus Reid.

(3)  Money Market and Alternatives — Kathleen A. Dennis (Chairperson), Jakki L. Haussler James F. Higgins and Joseph J. Kearns.

In addition, Manuel H. Johnson (as Chairperson of the Investment Committee) periodically attends Sub-Committee meetings.

The Board of each Fund (other than IIF) formed the Closed-End Fund Committee to consider a range of issues unique to closed-end funds. The Closed-End Fund Committee consists of Michael E. Nugent, W. Allen Reed and Fergus Reid, each of whom is an Independent Director. The Chairperson of the Closed-End Fund Committee of each Fund is Michael E. Nugent.

During each Fund's fiscal year ended December 31, 2015 (September 30, 2015 for ICB and October 31, 2015 for EDD and TKF), the Board of Directors held the following meetings:

During each Fund's fiscal year ended December 31, 2015 (September 30, 2015 for ICB and October 31, 2015 for EDD and TKF), each current Director attended at least seventy-five percent of the aggregate number of meetings of the Board and of any committee on which he or she served, held during the time such Director was a member of the Board. For annual Stockholder meetings, Directors may, but are not required to, attend the meetings; and for each Fund's last annual Stockholder meeting, none of the Directors attended the meeting.

Stockholder Communications

Stockholders may send communications to each Fund's Board of Directors. Stockholders should send communications intended for each Fund's Board by addressing the communication directly to that Board (or individual Board members) and/or otherwise clearly indicating in the salutation that the communication is for the Board (or individual Board members) and by sending the communication to either the Fund's office or directly to such Board member(s) at the address specified for each Director below. Other Stockholder communications received by the Funds not directly addressed and sent to the Boards will be reviewed and generally responded to by management, and will be forwarded to the Boards only at management's discretion based on the matters contained therein.

Each of the nominees for Director has consented to be named in this Joint Proxy Statement and to serve as a Director of the Funds if elected. The Board of Directors of each Fund has no reason to believe that any of the nominees named above will become unavailable for election as a Director, but if that should occur before the Meeting for that Fund, the persons named as proxies on the Proxy Cards will vote for such persons as the Board of Directors of the Fund may recommend.

Information Regarding Directors and Nominee Directors

Each Fund seeks as Directors individuals of distinction and experience in business and finance, government service or academia. In determining that a particular Director was and continues to be qualified to serve as Director, the Board of each Fund has considered a variety of criteria, none of which, in isolation, was controlling. Based on a review of the experience, qualifications, attributes or skills of each Director, including those enumerated in the table below, the Board has determined that each of the

10

Directors is qualified to serve as a Director of each applicable Fund. In addition, the Board of each Fund believes that, collectively, the Directors have balanced and diverse experience, qualifications, attributes and skills that allow the Board to operate effectively in governing each Fund and protecting the interests of Stockholders. Information about a Fund's Governance Committee and Board of Director nomination process is provided above under the caption "Board Meetings and Committees."

The Directors of the Funds, their ages, addresses, positions held, length of time served and their principal business occupations during the past 5 years and other relevant professional experience are shown below.

Compensation of Directors and Officers

Effective January 1, 2016, for each Fund (other than IIF), each Director (except for the Chairperson of the Boards) receives an annual retainer fee of $250,000 ($240,000 prior to January 1, 2016) for serving as a Director of the Morgan Stanley Funds.

The Chairperson of the Audit Committee receives an additional annual retainer fee of $80,000 and the Investment Committee Chairperson receives an additional annual retainer fee of $65,000 and the Chairperson of the Compliance and Insurance Committee receives an additional annual retainer fee of $50,000. Other Committee and Sub-Committee Chairpersons (except for the Chairperson of the Closed-End Fund Committee) receive an additional annual retainer fee of $35,000. The aggregate compensation paid to each Director is paid by the Morgan Stanley Funds, and is allocated on a pro rata basis among each of the operational funds/portfolios of the Morgan Stanley Funds based on the relative net assets of each of the funds/portfolios. Michael E. Nugent receives a total annual retainer fee of $500,000 ($480,000 prior to January 1, 2016) for his services as Chair of the Boards of the Morgan Stanley Funds (except IIF) and for administrative services provided to each Board.

Effective January 1, 2016, IIF pays each of its Directors an annual fee of $38,000 ($32,000 prior to January 1, 2016) and the Audit Committee Chairperson is paid an additional annual fee of $5,000. The non-Mauritian Independent Directors of IIF receive a fee of $15,000 for each meeting such Director attends in Mauritius.

Each Fund also reimburses Directors for travel and other out-of-pocket expenses incurred by them in connection with attending meetings of the Board. Directors of each Fund who are employed by the Adviser receive no compensation or expense reimbursement from the Funds for their services as Director.

Effective April 1, 2004, the Funds began a Deferred Compensation Plan (the "DC Plan"), which allows each Director to defer payment of all, or a portion, of the fees he or she receives for serving on the Board of Directors throughout the year. Each eligible Director generally may elect to have the deferred amounts credited with a return equal to the total return on one or more of the Morgan Stanley Funds (or portfolios thereof) that are offered as investment options under the DC Plan. At the Director's election, distributions are either in one lump sum payment, or in the form of equal annual installments over a period of five years. The rights of an eligible Director and the beneficiaries to the amounts held under the DC Plan are unsecured and such amounts are subject to the claims of the creditors of each Fund.

Prior to April 1, 2004, certain Morgan Stanley Funds maintained a similar Deferred Compensation Plan (the "Prior DC Plan"), which also allowed each Independent Director to defer payment of all, or a portion, of the fees he or she received for serving on the Board of Directors throughout the year. Generally, the DC Plan amends and supersedes the Prior DC Plan and all amounts payable under the Prior DC Plan are now subject to the terms of the DC Plan (except for amounts paid during the calendar year 2004, which remain subject to the terms of the Prior DC Plan).

⁽¹⁾  Includes all amounts paid for serving as Director of the Funds as well as serving as Chairperson of the Boards or a Chairperson of a Committee or Sub-Committee.

⁽²⁾  Messrs. Klein and Reed deferred all compensation from the Funds (except IIF) during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2015 (September 30, 2015 with regard to ICB and October 31, 2015 with regard to EDD and TKF).

⁽³⁾  The amounts shown in this column represent the aggregate compensation paid by all of the funds in the Fund Complex as of December 31, 2015 before deferral by the Directors under the DC Plan. As of December 31, 2015, the value (including interest) of the deferral accounts across the Fund Complex for Messrs. Kearns, Klein, Reed and Reid pursuant to the deferred compensation plan was $645,006, $537,397, $1,890,315 and $868,250, respectively. Because the funds in the Fund Complex have different fiscal year-ends, the amounts shown in this column are presented on a calendar year basis.

Prior to December 31, 2003, 49 of certain Morgan Stanley Funds (the "Adopting Funds"), including ICB, had adopted a retirement program under which an Independent Trustee/Director who retired after serving for at least five years as an Independent Trustee/Director of any such fund (an "Eligible Trustee/Director") would have been entitled to retirement payments, based on factors such as length of service, upon reaching the eligible retirement age. On December 31, 2003, the amount of accrued retirement benefits for each Eligible Trustee/Director was frozen, and will be payable, together with a return of 8% per annum, at or following each such Eligible Trustee/Director's retirement as shown in the table below.

There were no pension or retirement benefits accrued as part of any Fund's expenses, except ICB. The following tables illustrate the retirement benefits accrued to the Fund's Independent Directors by ICB for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2015 and by the Adopting Funds for the calendar year ended December 31, 2015, and the estimated retirement benefits for the Independent Directors from ICB as of September 30, 2015 and from the Adopting Funds for each calendar year following retirement. Only the Directors listed below participated in the retirement program.

Michael E. Nugent	$	683	$	45,156	$	1,299	$	57,539

⁽¹⁾  Total compensation accrued under the retirement plan, together with a return of 8% per annum, will be paid annually commencing upon retirement and continuing for the remainder of the Director's life.

The election of the nominees for election as Directors of each Fund requires the affirmative vote of a majority of the votes cast at a meeting at which a quorum is present. A majority of the votes cast means that the number of votes cast "for" a nominee's election exceeds the number of votes "withheld" with respect to that nominee. With respect to each Fund, except for TTF, the presence in person or by proxy of Stockholders entitled to cast a majority of the votes entitled to be cast thereat shall constitute a quorum. With respect to TTF, the presence in person or by proxy of Stockholders entitled to cast one-third of the votes entitled to be cast thereat shall constitute a quorum. See "Additional Information" below.

The Board of Directors of each Fund recommends that you vote "FOR" the election of the nominees as Directors for that Fund set forth above.

Audit Committee Pre-approval

Each Fund's Audit Committee's policy is to review and pre-approve all auditing and non-auditing services to be provided to the Fund by the Fund's independent auditors. The Audit Committee Audit and Non-Audit Pre-Approval Policy and Procedures (the "Policy"), which is attached hereto as Exhibit A, requires each Fund's Audit Committee to either generally pre-approve certain services without consideration of specific case-by-case services, or requires the specific pre-approval of services by the Audit Committee or its delegate. Under the Policy, unless a type of service has received general pre-approval, it will require specific pre-approval by the Audit Committee if it is to be provided by the independent auditors. Any services that are generally pre-approved may require specific pre-approval by the Audit Committee if the services exceed pre-approved cost levels or budgeted amounts. All of the audit, audit-related and the tax services described above for which Ernst & Young LLP billed each of the Funds fees for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2015 (September 30, 2015 for ICB, and October 31, 2015 for EDD and TKF) were pre-approved by the Audit Committee.

⁽¹⁾  APF, CAF, MSD, MSF, IIF, TTF, LDF

⁽²⁾  EDD, TKF

⁽³⁾  ICB

These fees related to services such as performance attestation. There were no audit-related fees during these periods for the issuance of a report under Statement on Accounting Standards No. 70 titled "Reports on the Processing of Transactions by Service Organizations."

The Audit Committee of each Fund, as applicable, has considered whether the provision of non-audit services and the provision of services to affiliates of the Adviser is compatible with maintaining the independence of Ernst & Young LLP.

Representatives from Ernst & Young LLP are not expected to be present at the Meeting. Ernst & Young LLP will have the opportunity to make a statement if they desire to do so and representatives from Ernst & Young LLP are expected to be available by telephone to respond to appropriate questions.

EXHIBIT A
AUDIT COMMITTEE
AUDIT AND NON-AUDIT SERVICES
PRE-APPROVAL POLICY AND PROCEDURES
OF THE
MORGAN STANLEY FUNDS

AS ADOPTED AND AMENDED JULY 23, 2004,⁽¹⁾

1.  Statement of Principles

The Audit Committee of the Board is required to review and, in its sole discretion, pre-approve all Covered Services to be provided by the Independent Auditors to the Fund and Covered Entities in order to assure that services performed by the Independent Auditors do not impair the auditor's independence from the Fund.

The SEC has issued rules specifying the types of services that an independent auditor may not provide to its audit client, as well as the audit committee's administration of the engagement of the independent auditor. The SEC's rules establish two different approaches to pre-approving services, which the SEC considers to be equally valid. Proposed services either: may be pre-approved without consideration of specific case-by-case services by the Audit Committee ("general pre-approval"); or require the specific pre-approval of the Audit Committee or its delegate ("specific pre-approval"). The Audit Committee believes that the combination of these two approaches in this Policy will result in an effective and efficient procedure to pre-approve services performed by the Independent Auditors. As set forth in this Policy, unless a type of service has received general pre-approval, it will require specific pre-approval by the Audit Committee (or by any member of the Audit Committee to which pre-approval authority has been delegated) if it is to be provided by the Independent Auditors. Any proposed services exceeding pre-approved cost levels or budgeted amounts will also require specific pre-approval by the Audit Committee.

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

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

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

⁽¹⁾  This Audit Committee Audit and Non-Audit Services Pre-Approval Policy and Procedures (the "Policy"), adopted as of the date above, supersedes and replaces all prior versions that may have been adopted from time to time.

Exhibit A-1

2.  Delegation

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

3.  Audit Services

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

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

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

4.  Audit-related Services

Audit-related services are assurance and related services that are reasonably related to the performance of the audit or review of the Fund's financial statements and, to the extent they are Covered Services, the Covered Entities or that are traditionally performed by the Independent Auditors. Because the Audit Committee believes that the provision of Audit-related services does not impair the independence of the auditor and is consistent with the SEC's rules on auditor independence, the Audit Committee may grant general pre-approval to Audit-related services. Audit-related services include, among others, accounting consultations related to accounting, financial reporting or disclosure matters not classified as "Audit services"; assistance with understanding and implementing new accounting and financial reporting guidance from rulemaking authorities; agreed-upon or expanded audit procedures related to accounting and/or billing records required to respond to or comply with financial, accounting or regulatory reporting matters; and assistance with internal control reporting requirements under Forms N-SAR and/or N-CSR.

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

5.  Tax Services

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

Exhibit A-2

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

6.  All Other Services

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

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

7.  Pre-Approval Fee Levels or Budgeted Amounts

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

8.  Procedures

All requests or applications for services to be provided by the Independent Auditors that do not require specific approval by the Audit Committee will be submitted to the Fund's Chief Financial Officer and must include a detailed description of the services to be rendered. The Fund's Chief Financial Officer will determine whether such services are included within the list of services that have received the general pre-approval of the Audit Committee. The Audit Committee will be informed on a timely basis of any such services rendered by the Independent Auditors. Requests or applications to provide services that require specific approval by the Audit Committee or Chairman of the Audit Committee will be submitted to the Audit Committee by the Fund's Chief Financial Officer, who, after consultation with the Independent Auditors, will discuss whether the request or application is consistent with the SEC's rules on auditor independence.

The Audit Committee has designated the Fund's Chief Financial Officer to monitor the performance of all services provided by the Independent Auditors and to determine whether such services are in compliance with this Policy. The Fund's Chief Financial Officer will report to the Audit Committee on a periodic basis on the results of its monitoring. Both the Fund's Chief Financial Officer and management will immediately report to the chairman of the Audit Committee any breach of this Policy that comes to the attention of the Fund's Chief Financial Officer or any member of management.

9.  Additional Requirements

The Audit Committee has determined to take additional measures on an annual basis to meet its responsibility to oversee the work of the Independent Auditors and to assure the auditor's independence from the Fund, such as reviewing a formal written statement from the Independent Auditors delineating all relationships between the Independent Auditors and the Fund, consistent with the PCAOB's Ethics and Independence Rule 3526, and discussing with the Independent Auditors its methods and procedures for ensuring independence.

Exhibit A-3

10.  Covered Entities

Covered Entities include the Fund's investment adviser(s) and any entity controlling, controlled by or under common control with the Fund's investment adviser(s) that provides ongoing services to the Fund(s). Beginning with non-audit service contracts entered into on or after May 6, 2003, the Fund's audit committee must pre-approve non-audit services provided not only to the Fund but also to the Covered Entities if the engagements relate directly to the operations and financial reporting of the Fund. This list of Covered Entities would include:
