JOINT PROXY STATEMENT
------------------------

This 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 of Directors for use at the Annual Meeting of Stockholders of the Fund
(each a "Meeting" and collectively, the "Meetings") to be held on Thursday, June
14, 2001, at the principal executive office of the investment adviser for each
Fund, Morgan Stanley Investment Management Inc. (hereinafter "Morgan Stanley
Investment Management" or the "Manager"), 1221 Avenue of the Americas, 22nd
Floor, New York, New York 10020. It is expected that the Notice of Annual
Meeting, Joint Proxy Statement and Proxy Card(s) will first be mailed to
stockholders on or about May 7, 2001. 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 Meeting of Stockholders.

If the accompanying Proxy Card for a Fund is executed properly and
returned, shares represented by it will be voted at the Meeting for that Fund in
accordance with the instructions on the Proxy Card. A Proxy may be revoked at
any time prior to the time it is voted by written notice to the Secretary of the
Fund or by attendance and voting at the Meeting of such Fund. If no instructions
are specified, shares will be voted FOR the election of the nominees for
Directors of that Fund. With respect to APF, if no instructions are specified,
shares will be voted FOR the amendment to the Fund's fundamental investment
policies removing the 50% limit on the amount of the Fund's assets that may be
invested in Japan.

The Board has fixed the close of business on April 12, 2001 as the record
date for the determination of stockholders entitled to notice of, and to vote
at, the Meetings and at any adjournments thereof. On that date, the following
number of shares of Common Stock of each Fund were outstanding and entitled to
vote:

LDF........................................................ 11,056,135 shares
MF......................................................... 9,738,015 shares
AFF........................................................ 8,984,407 shares
APF........................................................ 43,071,656 shares
MSD........................................................ 22,046,681 shares
MSF........................................................ 19,157,689 shares
MGB........................................................ 4,180,704 shares
RNE........................................................ 3,979,588 shares
MSY........................................................ 11,600,848 shares
IIF........................................................ 19,617,004 shares
TTF........................................................ 13,269,269 shares
TKF........................................................ 6,084,181 shares

The expense of solicitation will be borne by the Funds and will include
reimbursement to brokerage firms and others for reasonable expenses in
forwarding proxy solicitation materials to beneficial owners. The solicitation
of Proxy Cards will be largely by mail, but may include, without cost to the
Funds, telephonic, telegraphic or oral communications by regular employees of
the Manager. The solicitation of Proxy Cards is also expected to include
communications by employees of Georgeson Shareholder Communications Inc., a
proxy solicitation firm expected to be engaged by the Funds to solicit Proxy
Cards by mail or by telephonic, telegraphic or oral communications at a cost not
expected to exceed $5,000 per Fund, except for APF for which the cost is not
expected to exceed $7,500, plus out-of-pocket expenses.

EACH FUND WILL FURNISH, WITHOUT CHARGE, A COPY OF ITS ANNUAL REPORT FOR ITS
FISCAL YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2000 (OCTOBER 31, 2000 FOR TKF), TO ANY
STOCKHOLDER OF SUCH FUND REQUESTING SUCH REPORT. REQUESTS FOR ANNUAL REPORTS
SHOULD BE MADE IN WRITING TO THE RESPECTIVE FUND, C/O J.P. MORGAN INVESTOR
SERVICES CO., P.O. BOX 2798, BOSTON, MASSACHUSETTS 02208-2798, OR BY CALLING
1-800-221-6726.

J.P. Morgan Investor Services Co. (formerly Chase Global Funds Services
Company) is an affiliate of the Funds' administrator, The Chase Manhattan Bank
("Chase Bank"), and provides administrative services to the Funds. The business
address of Chase Bank and J.P. Morgan Investor Services Co. is 73 Tremont
Street, Boston, Massachusetts 02108.

On April 9, 2001, the Board of Directors of each of the following Funds
approved an amendment to the Fund's articles of incorporation deleting the words
"Dean Witter" from the Fund's name: AFF, APF, RNE, MSD, MSF, MGB, MSY and IIF.
The name change of each such Fund became effective as of May 1, 2001.

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 and, because stockholders may
own shares of more than one Fund, to avoid burdening stockholders with more than
one proxy statement. Shares of a Fund are entitled to one vote each at the
respective Fund's Meeting. To the extent information relating to common
ownership is available to the Funds, a stockholder that owns of 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 a
proposal 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.

THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS OF EACH FUND UNANIMOUSLY RECOMMENDS THAT
STOCKHOLDERS VOTE IN FAVOR OF THE MATTER MENTIONED IN ITEM 1 OF THE NOTICE OF
ANNUAL MEETINGS.

THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS OF APF UNANIMOUSLY RECOMMENDS THAT APF STOCKHOLDERS
VOTE IN FAVOR OF THE MATTER MENTIONED IN ITEM 2 OF THE NOTICE OF ANNUAL
MEETINGS.

ELECTION OF DIRECTORS
(PROPOSAL NO. 1)

At the Meetings, Directors will be elected to hold office for a term
specified below and until their successors are duly elected and qualified. It is
the intention of the persons named in the accompanying Proxy Card to vote, on
behalf of the stockholders, for the election of:

(i) Ronald E. Robison as a Class I Director for a term expiring in 2002 and
Barton M. Biggs, William G. Morton, Jr., John A. Levin and Gerard E.
Jones as Class III Directors for a term expiring in 2004, for all of
the Funds except for IIF, and

(ii) Marie Joseph Raymond Lamusse as a Class III Director for a term
expiring in 2003 and Ronald E. Robison, John S.Y. Chu, Fergus Reid,
Andrew McNally IV and Frederick O. Robertshaw as Class I Directors for
a term expiring in 2004, for IIF.

The Boards of the Funds have elected Ronald E. Robison, President and a
Director of the Funds. The Board of IIF has elected Marie Joseph Raymond Lamusse
a Director of the Fund.

Each member of the Funds' Boards of Directors (with the exceptions of
Messrs. John S.Y. Chu and Marie Joseph Raymond Lamusse, who are Directors of IIF
only, and of Mr. Robison) also serves on the Boards of Directors of Morgan
Stanley Institutional Fund, Inc., The Universal Institutional Funds, Inc. and
Morgan Stanley Strategic Adviser Fund, Inc., which are open-end registered
investment companies also managed by the Manager (collectively, the "Open-End
Funds").

Pursuant to the By-Laws of each Fund, the terms of office of the Directors
are staggered. The Board of Directors of each Fund is divided into three
classes, designated Class I, Class II and Class III, with each class having a
term of three years. Each year the term of one class expires. Pursuant to each
Fund's By-Laws, each Director holds office until (i) the expiration of his term
and until his successor has been elected and qualified, (ii) his death, (iii)
his resignation, (iv) December 31 of the year in which he reaches seventy-three
years of age, or (v) his removal as provided by statute or the Articles of
Incorporation (with the exception of MF, which does not have a mandatory
retirement age). Each officer of the Funds will hold such office until his death
or resignation or until a successor has been duly elected and qualified.

The Board of Directors of each Fund has an Audit Committee. The Audit
Committee makes recommendations to the full Board of Directors with respect to
the engagement of independent accountants and reviews with the independent
accountants the plan and results of the audit engagement and matters having a
material effect on each Fund's financial operations. Each Fund adopted a formal,
written Audit Committee Charter on September 15, 1999 (September 16, 1999 for
IIF), which is attached hereto as Exhibit A. The Audit Committees of the Funds
met three times during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2000 (October 31, 2000
for TKF).

The members of the Audit Committee of each Fund are Gerard E. Jones, Graham
E. Jones, Frederick O. Robertshaw, Andrew McNally IV and William G. Morton, Jr.,
none of whom is an "interested person," as defined under the Investment Company
Act of 1940, as amended (the "1940 Act"), of the Funds, and each of whom is
"independent" from the Funds under the listing standards of the New York Stock
Exchange, Inc. Graham E. Jones serves as the Chairman of each Fund's Audit
Committee. The report of the Funds' Audit Committees, along with certain
disclosures regarding fees paid to the Funds' auditors, is set forth on page 13
of this joint proxy statement.

The Boards of Directors also have a Nominating and Compensation Committee.
The Nominating and Compensation Committee evaluates and recommends nominees for
election to each Fund's Board of Directors and establishes compensation for
disinterested Directors. Each Fund adopted a formal, written Nominating and
Compensation Committee Charter on February 17, 2000. The members of the
Nominating and Compensation Committee are John D. Barrett II, John A. Levin,
Samuel T. Reeves and Fergus Reid, none of whom is an "interested person," as
defined under the 1940 Act, of the Funds. The Chairman of the Nominating and
Compensation Committee is Mr. Reid. The Nominating and Compensation Committee
did not meet during the fiscal year ending December 31, 2000 (October 31, 2000
for TKF).

6

There were six meetings of the Boards of Directors of the Funds held during
the fiscal year ended December 31, 2000 (October 31, 2000 for TKF). For the 2000
fiscal year, 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
served except for Barton M. Biggs and John A. Levin, and except for Samuel T.
Reeves with respect to IIF only.

Each of the nominees for Director has consented to be named in this Joint
Proxy Statement and to serve as a director of each Fund 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, Proxies will be voted for such persons
as the Board of Directors of the Fund may recommend.

Certain information regarding the current Directors and officers of the
Funds, and nominees for election as Directors, is set forth below:

Effective as of July 1, 2000, the Funds, The Pakistan Investment Fund, Inc.
("PKF") and the Open-End Funds pay each of the Directors who is not an
"interested person" an annual aggregate fee of $75,000, plus out-of-pocket
expenses, for service on all Boards of Directors of the Funds, PKF and the
Open-End Funds and on any committees of the Funds, PKF and the Open-End Funds.
Directors' fees for each year are allocated among the Funds, PKF and the
Open-End Funds in proportion to their respective average net assets during the
year. In addition, IIF pays each of its Directors who is not resident in either
Mauritius or India and who is not a director, officer or employee of Morgan
Stanley Investment Management or its affiliates a fee of $10,000 per meeting in
connection with any meeting held in either Mauritius or India that such Director
attends in person. Each Director of IIF who is a resident in either Mauritius or
India and who is not a director, officer or employee of Morgan Stanley
Investment Management or its affiliates, receives an annual fee of $7,500 per
year plus $750 for each meeting such Director attends in person or by telephone.

Each of the Directors who is not an "affiliated person" of Morgan Stanley
Investment Management within the meaning of the 1940 Act may enter into a
deferred fee arrangement (the "Fee Arrangement") with each Fund, pursuant to
which such Director may defer to a later date the receipt of his Director's
fees. The deferred fees owed by a Fund are credited to a bookkeeping account
maintained by the Fund on behalf of such Director and accrue income from and
after the date of credit in an amount equal to the amount that would have been
earned had such fees (and all income earned thereon) been invested and
reinvested either (i) in shares of the Fund or (ii) at a rate equal to the
prevailing rate applicable to 90-day United States Treasury Bills at the
beginning of each calendar quarter for which this rate is in effect, whichever
method is elected by the Director.

Under the Fee Arrangement, deferred Director's fees (including the return
accrued thereon) will become payable by a Fund in cash upon such Director's
resignation from the Board of Directors of that Fund in generally equal annual
installments over a period of five years (unless the Fund has agreed to a longer
or shorter payment period) beginning on the first day of the year following the
year in which such Director's resignation occurred. In the event of a Director's
death, remaining amounts payable to him under the Fee Arrangement will
thereafter be payable to his designated beneficiary; in all other events, a
Director's right to receive payments is non-transferable. Under the Fee
Arrangement, the Board of Directors of each Fund, in its sole discretion, has
reserved the right, at the request of a Director or otherwise, to accelerate or
extend the payment of amounts in the deferred fee account at any time after the
termination of such Director's service as a director. In addition, in the event
of liquidation, dissolution or winding up of a Fund or the distribution of all
or substantially all of a Fund's assets and property to its stockholders (other
than in connection with a reorganization or merger into another fund advised by
Morgan Stanley Investment Management), all unpaid amounts in the deferred fee
account maintained by the Fund will be paid in a lump sum to the Directors
participating in the Fee Arrangement on the effective date thereof.

Set forth below is a table showing the aggregate compensation paid by each
Fund to each of its Directors, as well as the total compensation paid to each
Director of each Fund by all of the Funds and by other U.S. registered
investment companies advised by Morgan Stanley Investment Management or its
affiliates (collectively, the "Fund Complex") for their services as Directors of
such investment companies for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2000 (October
31, 2000 for TKF). In all cases, there were no pension or retirement benefits
accrued as part of any Fund's expenses.

The amounts reflected in the following table include amounts paid by the
Fund Complex for services rendered during the fiscal year ended December 31,
2000 (October 31, 2000 for TKF), regardless of whether such amounts were
actually received by the Directors during such fiscal year.

SECTION 16(a) BENEFICIAL OWNERSHIP REPORTING COMPLIANCE

Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the
"Exchange Act"), requires that each Fund's officers and directors, and persons
who own more than ten percent of a registered class of each Fund's equity
securities, file reports of ownership and changes in ownership with the
Securities and Exchange Commission (the "Commission") and the New York Stock
Exchange, Inc. The Manager assumes responsibility for filing such reports for
each Fund's officers and directors and believes that all required reports under
Section 16(a) have been filed on a timely basis for each Fund's officers and
directors.

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. Under each Fund's By-Laws, except for TTF and MF, 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. Under the
By-Laws of TTF and MF, 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. For this purpose, abstentions and broker non-votes will be
counted in determining whether a quorum is present at the Meeting, but will not
be counted as votes cast at the Meeting.

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.

APPROVAL OF A CHANGE IN THE FUND'S FUNDAMENTAL INVESTMENT POLICIES
(PROPOSAL NO. 2)--FOR APF ONLY

The Board of Directors of APF, including a majority of the Directors who
are not "interested persons" of each Fund as defined in the 1940 Act, have
approved an amendment to the Fund's fundamental investment policies removing the
50% limit on the amount of the Fund's assets that may be invested in Japan. As
set forth as a fundamental policy of the Fund in the Fund's prospectus, dated
July 25, 1994, the Fund's investment restrictions provide that the Fund must
invest less than 50% of its total assets in Japan. This policy was set forth in
order to comply with the regulatory requirements in Japan in effect at the time,
to which the Fund was subject as the result of having offered its shares in
Japan. The regulations in Japan no longer require that the Fund invest less than
50% of its assets in Japan. The Fund's Board of Directors has accordingly
determined that it would be in the best interests of the Fund's stockholders to
remove the 50% limit on the amount of the Fund's assets that may be invested in
Japan.

The Manager believes it will be able to manage the Fund more effectively
and achieve a greater return for the Fund with the ability to invest more than
50% of the Fund's assets in Japan. By being permitted to invest more than 50% of
the Fund's assets in Japan, the Manager believes that the Fund may be able to
achieve a greater return because it will permit the Fund to have greater
flexibility to invest in Japan when the Manager believes investments in Japan
will provide the Fund with an above average return. If the Manager invests more
than 50% of the Fund's assets in Japan, the portfolio of the Fund will also be
less diversified on a geographic basis. Consequently, the Fund will have
additional exposure to risks that may adversely affect the Japanese market.

Approval of the proposed amendment to the Fund's fundamental investment
policies will require the affirmative vote of a majority of the Fund's
outstanding shares of common stock. As defined in the 1940 Act, a "majority of
outstanding shares" means the lesser of 67% of the voting securities present at
the Annual Meeting of Stockholders, if a quorum is present, or 50% of the
outstanding voting securities. For this purpose, both abstentions and broker
non-votes will have the effect of a vote to disapprove the proposed amendment.
The Fund will continue under its current fundamental investment policies without
change if this proposal is not approved by the stockholders.

THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS OF APF RECOMMENDS THAT YOU VOTE "FOR" THIS PROPOSAL
NO. 2.

AUDIT COMMITTEE REPORTS AND AUDIT FEES

REPORTS OF THE AUDIT COMMITTEES

At a meeting held on February 16, 2001, the Board of Directors of each
Fund, including a majority of the directors who are not "interested persons," as
defined under the 1940 Act, acting on the recommendation of the Audit Committee
of each Fund, selected Ernst & Young LLP to act as independent accountants for
each Fund for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2001 (October 31, 2001 for
TKF). The Audit Committee of each Fund has received the written disclosures and
the letter from Ernst & Young LLP required by Independence Standards Board
Standard No. 1 and have discussed with Ernst & Young LLP their independence with
respect to each Fund. Each Fund knows of no direct financial or material
indirect financial interest of Ernst & Young LLP in the Fund. Although it is not
expected that a representative of Ernst & Young LLP will attend the Meetings, a
representative will be available by telephone to respond to stockholder
questions, if any.

Each Fund's financial statements for the fiscal year ended December 31,
2000 (October 31, 2000 for TKF) were audited by Ernst & Young LLP. The Audit
Committee of each Fund has reviewed and discussed the audited financial
statements of the Fund with management of the Fund. The Audit Committee of each
Fund has further discussed with Ernst & Young LLP the matters required to be
discussed by Statement on Auditing Standards No. 61. Based on the foregoing
review and discussions, the Audit Committee of each Fund has recommended to the
Board of Directors of the Fund that the audited financial statements of the Fund
for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2000 (October 31, 2000 for TKF) be
included in the Fund's most recent annual report.

AUDIT FEES

The aggregate fees paid to Ernst & Young LLP in connection with the annual
audit of each Fund's financial statements for the fiscal year ended December 31,
2000 (October 31, 2000 for TKF) is set forth below:

AFF............................................... $ 50,000
APF............................................... $ 55,000

FINANCIAL INFORMATION SYSTEMS DESIGN AND IMPLEMENTATION FEES

The aggregate fees billed for financial information systems design and
implementation services rendered by Ernst & Young LLP to the Manager, and
entities controlling, controlled by or under common control with

13
16

the Manager for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2000 (October 31, 2000 for
TKF) was $385,000. No such services were performed for any of the Funds.

ALL OTHER FEES

The aggregate fees billed for all other non-audit services, including fees
for tax-related services, rendered by Ernst & Young LLP to the Manager, and
entities controlling, controlled by or under common control with the Manager for
the fiscal year ended December 31, 2000 (October 31, 2000 for TKF) was $2.9
million. No such services were performed for any of the Funds. The Audit
Committees have considered whether the provision of non-audit services is
compatible with maintaining the independence of Ernst & Young LLP.

CERTAIN OTHER MATTERS CONCERNING THE FUNDS' INDEPENDENT AUDITORS

On July 5, 2000, PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP resigned as the independent
accountants for each Fund. At a meeting held on June 15, 2000, the Board of
Directors of each Fund, including a majority of the directors who are not
"interested persons," as defined under the 1940 Act, acting on the
recommendation of the Audit Committee of each Fund, appointed Ernst & Young LLP
as independent accountants for each Fund effective with the resignation of
PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP. The appointment of Ernst & Young as independent
accountants for each Fund was ratified by the stockholders of each Fund on
August 1, 2000 at the Fund's reconvened annual meeting of stockholders. In
connection with its audits for 1998 and 1999 and through July 5, 2000, the date
of PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP's resignation as the independent accountants for
each Fund, there were no disagreements with PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP on any
matters of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure or
auditing scope or procedure, which disagreements if not resolved to the
satisfaction of PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP would have caused it to make
reference thereto in its report on the financial statements of each Fund for
such years. Each report of PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP on the financial
statements of each Fund for such years contained no adverse opinion or
disclaimer of opinion, and was not qualified or modified as to uncertainty,
audit scope or accounting principles.
