The performance of the Fund's four share classes varies because each has
different expenses. The Fund's total returns assume the reinvestment of all
distributions but do not reflect the deduction of any applicable sales charges.
Such costs would lower performance. See Performance Summary for standardized
performance and benchmark information.

MARKET CONDITIONS

The technology sector experienced a significant amount of volatility over the
six-month period ended September 30, 2006. Following a short-term rally at the
beginning of the year, returns deteriorated as investors grew increasingly
concerned about the slowing economy and what possible affect it would have on
technology spending. Feeding into these worries were the Federal Open Market
Committee's (the "Fed") ongoing adherence to its monetary policy in its effort
to tame inflation concerns, continued high oil and natural gas prices and a
number of mixed corporate earnings reports. Facing uncertainty, investors during
the spring and early summer months overwhelmingly preferred more defensive, less
cyclical areas of the market.

During the month of August, however, the technology sector entered positive
territory. After its 17th consecutive rate hike in June, the Fed opted to leave
the target federal funds rate unchanged in its August meeting. This pause was
well received by the market, and the stabilization of interest rates coupled
with the decline in energy and other commodities prices helped renew investors'
enthusiasm for technology goods and services. Evidence of a year-end revival
began to appear toward the end of the reporting period as personal computer
back-to-school sales surged, and businesses commenced their seasonal year-end
information technology (IT) spending. Rising expectations of strong sales within
the technology sector for the 2006 holiday season further enhanced the sector's
overall performance at the end of the period.

PERFORMANCE ANALYSIS

Morgan Stanley Technology Fund underperformed the NYSE Arca Tech 100 Index(R) as
well as the S&P 500(R), and the Lipper Science & Technology Funds Index for the
six months ended September 30, 2006, assuming no deduction of applicable sales
charges.

The new management team for the Morgan Stanley Technology Fund employs a
diversified approach in the allocation of assets within the technology sector.
The team believes that increased exposure to industries within the health care
sector, such as biotechnology, provides better diversification benefits. For
this period, however, investment in the biotechnology sector hampered the Fund's
overall performance due to a sluggish FDA approval process for new products and
increased competition from international drug manufacturers. Exposure to
semiconductor firms also hindered returns as the Fund's holdings within this
segment suffered from overstocked inventories, cyclical sales lag and depressed
gross margins. Furthermore, stock selection in certain Internet

 2


information providers adversely affected overall performance. These companies
declined as advertising revenues diminished and investors reconsidered the
valuation on stock prices.

Despite these pressures on the Fund's overall performance, there were some
notable positive contributors during the period. Select companies within the
computer hardware industry boosted their market share, particularly through
sales of desktop and notebook computers. Manufacturers of components for LCD
televisions also enjoyed strong returns, as did companies that produce video
games and gaming software. Finally, the Fund's holdings in the aerospace/defense
sub-sector added to overall returns due to continued U.S. defense spending,
increased IT contracts from the U.S. government and strong international sales
for aerospace products.

There is no guarantee that any sectors mentioned will continue to perform as
discussed herein or that securities in such sectors will be held by the Fund in
the future.

INVESTMENT STRATEGY

The Fund will normally invest at least 80 percent of its assets in common stocks
and other equity securities of companies located throughout the world considered
by the Fund's "Investment Adviser," Morgan Stanley Investment Advisers Inc., to
rely extensively on technology, science and communications in their product
development or operations at the time of investment. This policy may be changed
without shareholder approval; however, you would be notified in writing of any
changes. The companies in which the Fund may invest may be from any industry, as
long as they produce or deploy innovative technology. The Investment Adviser
focuses on those companies that it believes have the best potential for earnings
growth. The Fund normally holds common stocks and other equity securities of
companies located in at least three countries, one of which is the United
States. The Fund may invest up to 50 percent of its net assets in the securities
(including depositary receipts) of foreign companies; however, it will not
invest more than 25 percent of its net assets in any one foreign country. Up to
15 percent of the Fund's net assets may be invested in emerging market
securities (held either directly or in the form of depositary receipts), but of
which no more than 10 percent may be invested in local shares (shares traded in
the issuer's local or regional market). In addition, the Fund will not invest
more than 10 percent of its net assets in convertible securities. In deciding
which securities to buy, hold or sell, the Investment Adviser considers
business, economic and political conditions. The Investment Adviser generally
considers selling a portfolio holding when it determines that the holding no
longer satisfies its investment criteria.

Performance data quoted represents past performance, which is no guarantee of
future results and current performance may be lower or higher than the figures
shown. For most recent month-end performance figures, please visit
www.morganstanley.com or speak with your Financial Advisor. Investment returns
and principal value will fluctuate and fund shares, when redeemed, may be worth
more or less than their original cost. The table does not reflect the deduction
of taxes that a shareholder would pay on fund distributions or the redemption of
fund shares. Performance for Class A, Class B, Class C, and Class D shares will
vary due to differences in sales charges and expenses.

*   The maximum front-end sales charge for Class A is 5.25%.

**  The maximum contingent deferred sales charge (CDSC) for Class B is 5.0%. The
    CDSC declines to 0% after six years.

+   The maximum contingent deferred sales charge for Class C is 1.0% for shares
    redeemed within one year of purchase.

++  Class D has no sales charge.

(1)  The NYSE Arca Tech 100 Index(R) is a price-weighted index comprised of
     common stocks and American Depository Receipts (ADRs) of technology-related
     companies listed on US exchanges. Indexes are unmanaged and their returns
     do not include any sales charges or fees. Such costs would lower
     performance. It is not possible to invest directly in an index. The Fund's
     primary benchmark is being changed from the S&P 500(R) to the NYSE Arca
     Tech 100 Index(R) to more accurately reflect the Fund's investible
     universe.

(2)  The Standard & Poor's 500(R) Index (S&P 500(R)) is a broad-based index, the

EXPENSE EXAMPLE


As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction
costs, including sales charges (loads) on purchase payments and redemption fees;
and (2) ongoing costs, including advisory fees; distribution and service (12b-1)
fees; and other Fund expenses. This example is intended to help you understand
your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these
costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.

The example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the
period and held for the entire period 04/01/06 - 09/30/06.

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 Fund's actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return
of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund'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 Fund and other
funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical
examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.

Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your
ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs, such as sales
charges (loads) and redemption fees. 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 transactional costs
were included, your costs would have been higher.

 *  Expenses are equal to the Fund's annualized expense ratios of 1.77%, 2.52%,
    2.52% and 1.52% for Class A, Class B, Class C and Class D shares,
    respectively, multiplied by the average account value over the period,
    multiplied by 183/365 (to reflect the one-half year period).

INVESTMENT ADVISORY AGREEMENT APPROVAL

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 under the Advisory
Agreement, including portfolio management, investment research and equity and
fixed income securities trading. The Board also reviewed and considered the
nature and extent of the non-advisory, administrative services provided by the
Fund's Administrator 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 and the Administrator together are referred to
as the "Adviser" and the 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 advisory and administrative services to the Fund. 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
Fund. The Board also concluded that the overall quality of the advisory and
administrative services was satisfactory.

PERFORMANCE RELATIVE TO COMPARABLE FUNDS MANAGED BY OTHER ADVISERS


On a regular basis, the Board reviews the performance of all funds in the Morgan
Stanley Fund Complex, including the Fund, compared to their peers, paying
specific attention to the underperforming funds. In addition, the Board
specifically reviewed the Fund's performance for the one-, three- and five-year
periods ended November 30, 2005, as shown in a report provided by Lipper (the
"Lipper Report"), compared to the performance of comparable funds selected by
Lipper (the "performance peer group"). The Board also discussed with the Adviser
the performance goals and the actual results achieved in managing the Fund. When
a fund underperforms its performance peer group, the Board discusses with the
Adviser the causes of the underperformance and, where necessary, specific
changes to investment strategy or investment personnel. The Board concluded that
the Fund can reasonably be expected to be competitive with that of its
performance peer group based on recent action taken or proposed to be taken by
the Adviser with respect to the Fund's investment strategy and/or investment
personnel.

 8


FEES RELATIVE TO OTHER PROPRIETARY FUNDS MANAGED BY THE ADVISER WITH COMPARABLE
INVESTMENT STRATEGIES


The Board reviewed the advisory and administrative fee (together, the
"management fee") rate paid by the Fund under the Management Agreement. The
Board noted that the management fee rate was comparable to the management fee
rates charged by the Adviser to any other proprietary funds it manages with
investment strategies comparable to those of the Fund.

FEES AND EXPENSES RELATIVE TO COMPARABLE FUNDS MANAGED BY OTHER ADVISERS


The Board reviewed the management fee rate and total expense ratio of the Fund
as compared to the average management fee rate and average total expense ratio
for funds, selected by Lipper (the "expense peer group"), managed by other
advisers with investment strategies comparable to those of the Fund, as shown in
the Lipper Report. The Board concluded that the Fund's management fee rate and
total expense ratio were competitive with those of its expense peer group.

BREAKPOINTS AND ECONOMIES OF SCALE


The Board reviewed the structure of the Fund's management fee schedule under the
Management Agreement and noted that it includes breakpoints. The Board also
reviewed the level of the Fund's management fee and noted that the fee, as a
percentage of the Fund's net assets, would decrease as net assets increase
because the management fee includes breakpoints. The Board concluded that the
Fund's management fee would reflect economies of scale as assets increase.

PROFITABILITY OF THE ADVISER AND AFFILIATES


The Board considered information concerning the costs incurred and profits
realized by the Adviser and affiliates during the last year from their
relationship with the Fund 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. Based on its review of the information it received, the Board
concluded that the profits earned by the Adviser and affiliates were not
excessive in light of the advisory, administrative and other services provided
to the Fund.

FALL-OUT BENEFITS


The Board considered so-called "fall-out benefits" derived by the Adviser and
affiliates from their relationship with the Fund and the Morgan Stanley Fund
Complex, such as sales charges on sales of Class A shares and "float" benefits
derived from handling of checks for purchases and sales of Fund shares, through
a broker-dealer affiliate of the Adviser and "soft dollar" benefits (discussed
in the next section). The Board also

                                                                               9


considered that a broker-dealer affiliate of the Adviser receives from the Fund
12b-1 fees for distribution and shareholder services. The Board also considered
that an affiliate of the Adviser sold a joint venture that owned an electronic
trading system network ("ECN"), which may be used by the Adviser for trading on
behalf of the Fund. As part of the sale of the joint venture, the affiliate
receives a 10-year payout based on the revenue stream from trading on the ECN.
Although the affiliate disgorges the portion of the payout that is comprised of
commissions received from trades executed by the Adviser on the ECN to a
charitable organization, the Board considered the fact that trades by the
Adviser would increase order flow, and, thus, result in a potential fall-out
benefit to the affiliate. The Board concluded that the float benefits were
relatively small, the sales charges and 12b-1 fees were competitive with those
of other broker-dealers, the affiliate disgorged revenues in connection with the
ECN-related revenue and the potential fall-out benefit from increased order flow
was relatively small.

SOFT DOLLAR BENEFITS


The Board considered whether the Adviser realizes any benefits as a result of
brokerage transactions executed through "soft dollar" arrangements. Under such
arrangements, brokerage commissions paid by the Fund and/or other funds managed
by the Adviser would be used to pay for research that a securities broker
obtains from third parties, or to pay for both research and execution services
from securities brokers who effect transactions for the Fund. The Adviser
informed the Board that it does not use Fund commissions to pay for third party
research. It does use commissions to pay for research which is bundled with
execution services. The Board recognized that the receipt of such research from
brokers may reduce the Adviser's costs, but concluded that the receipt of such
research strengthens the investment management resources of the Adviser, which
may ultimately benefit the Fund and other funds in the Morgan Stanley Fund
Complex.

ADVISER FINANCIALLY SOUND AND FINANCIALLY CAPABLE OF MEETING THE FUND'S NEEDS


The Board considered whether the Adviser is financially sound and has the
resources necessary to perform its obligations under the Management Agreement.
The Board noted that the Adviser's operations remain profitable, although
increased expenses in recent years have reduced the Adviser's profitability. The
Board concluded that the Adviser has the financial resources necessary to
fulfill its obligations under the Management Agreement.

HISTORICAL RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN THE FUND AND THE ADVISER


The Board also reviewed and considered the historical relationship between the
Fund and the Adviser, including the organizational structure of the Adviser, the
policies and procedures formulated and adopted by the Adviser for managing the
Fund's operations and the Board's confidence in the competence and integrity of
the senior

 10


managers and key personnel of the Adviser. The Board concluded that it is
beneficial for the Fund to continue its relationship with the Adviser.

OTHER FACTORS AND CURRENT TRENDS


The Board considered the controls and procedures adopted and implemented by the
Adviser and monitored by the Fund's Chief Compliance Officer and concluded that
the conduct of business by the Adviser indicates a good faith effort on its part
to adhere to high ethical standards in the conduct of the Fund's business.

GENERAL CONCLUSION


After considering and weighing all of the above factors, the Board concluded
that it would be in the best interest of the Fund and its shareholders to
approve renewal of the Management Agreement for another year.

                                                                              11

Morgan Stanley Technology Fund
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - SEPTEMBER 30, 2006 (UNAUDITED)

1. Organization and Accounting Policies

Morgan Stanley Technology Fund (the "Fund"), formerly Morgan Stanley Information
Fund (the Fund's name changed effective July 28, 2006), is registered under the
Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "Act"), as a diversified,
open-end management investment company. The Fund's investment objective is
long-term capital appreciation. The Fund was organized as a Massachusetts
business trust on December 8, 1994 and commenced operations on November 28,
1995. On July 28, 1997, the Fund converted to a multiple class share structure.

The Fund offers Class A shares, Class B shares, Class C shares and Class D
shares. The four classes are substantially the same except that most Class A
shares are subject to a sales charge imposed at the time of purchase and some
Class A shares, and most Class B shares and Class C shares are subject to a
contingent deferred sales charge imposed on shares redeemed within eighteen
months, six years and one year, respectively. Class D shares are not subject to
a sales charge. Additionally, Class A shares, Class B shares and Class C shares
incur distribution expenses.

The Fund will assess a 2% redemption fee, on Class A shares, Class B shares,
Class C shares, and Class D shares, which is paid directly to the Fund, for
shares redeemed within thirty days of purchase, subject to certain exceptions.
The redemption fee is designed to protect the Fund and its remaining
shareholders from the effects of short-term trading.

The following is a summary of significant accounting policies:

A. Valuation of Investments -- (1) an equity portfolio security listed or traded
on the New York Stock Exchange ("NYSE") or American Stock Exchange or other
exchange is valued at its latest sale price prior to the time when assets are
valued; if there were no sales that day, the security is valued at the mean
between the last reported bid and asked price; (2) an equity portfolio security
listed or traded on the Nasdaq is valued at the Nasdaq Official Closing Price;
if there were no sales that day, the security is valued at the mean between the
last reported bid and asked price; (3) all other portfolio securities for which
over-the-counter market quotations are readily available are valued at the mean
between the last reported bid and asked price. In cases where a security is
traded on more than one exchange, the security is valued on the exchange
designated as the primary market; (4) for equity securities traded on foreign
exchanges, the last reported sale price or the latest bid price may be used if
there were no sales on a particular day; (5) when market quotations are not
readily available including circumstances under which Morgan Stanley Investment
Advisors Inc. (the "Investment Adviser") determines that the latest sale price,
the bid price or the mean between the last reported bid and asked price do not
reflect 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

 20

Morgan Stanley Technology Fund
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - SEPTEMBER 30, 2006 (UNAUDITED) continued

general supervision of the Fund's 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 Fund's Trustees or by the Investment Adviser
using a pricing service and/or procedures approved by the Trustees of the Fund;
(6) certain portfolio securities may be valued by an outside pricing service
approved by the Fund's Trustees; and (7) short-term debt securities having a
maturity date of more than sixty days at time of purchase are valued on a
mark-to-market basis until sixty days prior to maturity and thereafter at
amortized cost based on their value on the 61st day. Short-term debt securities
having a maturity date of sixty days or less at the time of purchase are valued
at amortized cost.

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.
Discounts are accreted and premiums are amortized over the life of the
respective securities. Interest income is accrued daily.

C. Repurchase Agreements -- Pursuant to an Exemptive Order issued by the
Securities and Exchange Commission, the Fund, along with other affiliated
entities managed by the Investment Adviser, may transfer uninvested cash
balances into one or more joint repurchase agreement accounts. These balances
are invested in one or more repurchase agreements and are collateralized by
cash, U.S. Treasury or federal agency obligations. The Fund may also invest
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.

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 Forward Foreign Currency Contracts -- The
books and records of the Fund are maintained in U.S. dollars as follows: (1) the
foreign currency market value of investment securities, other assets and
liabilities and forward foreign currency contracts ("forward contracts") are
translated at the exchange rates prevailing at the end of the period; and

                                                                              21

Morgan Stanley Technology Fund
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - SEPTEMBER 30, 2006 (UNAUDITED) continued

(2) purchases, sales, income and expenses are translated at the exchange rates
prevailing on the respective dates of such transactions. The resultant exchange
gains and losses are recorded as realized and unrealized gain/loss on foreign
exchange transactions. Pursuant to U.S. federal income tax regulations, certain
foreign exchange gains/losses included in realized and unrealized gain/loss are
included in or are a reduction of ordinary income for federal income tax
purposes. 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 changes in
the market prices of the securities. Forward contracts are valued daily at the
appropriate exchange rates. The resultant unrealized exchange gains and losses
are recorded as unrealized foreign currency gain or loss. The Fund records
realized gains or losses on delivery of the currency or at the time the forward
contract is extinguished (compensated) by entering into a closing transaction
prior to delivery.

F. Futures Contracts -- A futures contract is an agreement between two parties
to buy and sell financial instruments or contracts based on financial indices at
a set price on a future date. Upon entering into such a contract, the Fund is
required to pledge to the broker cash, U.S. Government securities or other
liquid portfolio securities equal to the minimum initial margin requirements of
the applicable futures exchange. Pursuant to the contract, the Fund agrees to
receive from or pay to the broker an amount of cash equal to the daily
fluctuation in the value of the contract. Such receipts or payments known as
variation margin are recorded by the Fund as unrealized gains and losses. Upon
closing of the contract, the Fund realizes a gain or loss equal to the
difference between the value of the contract at the time it was opened and the
value at the time it was closed.

G. Security Lending -- Certain Funds 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 Fund. Funds that lend securities receive cash or
securities as collateral in an amount equal to or exceeding 100% of the current
fair value of the loaned securities. The collateral is marked-to-market daily,
by the securities lending agent, to ensure that a minimum of 100% collateral
coverage is maintained.

Based on pre-established guidelines, the securities lending agent invests any
cash collateral that is received in 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 value of loaned securities and related collateral outstanding at September
30, 2006 are $30,480,692 and $31,073,063, respectively.

 22

Morgan Stanley Technology Fund
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - SEPTEMBER 30, 2006 (UNAUDITED) continued

H. Federal Income Tax Policy -- It is the Fund's policy to comply with the
requirements of the Internal Revenue Code applicable to regulated investment
companies and to distribute substantially all of its taxable income to its
shareholders. Accordingly, no federal income tax provision is required.

I. Dividends and Distributions to Shareholders -- Dividends and distributions to
shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date.

J. Use of Estimates -- The preparation of financial statements in accordance
with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make
estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts and disclosures.
Actual results could differ from those estimates.

2. Investment Advisory/Administration Agreements

Pursuant to an Investment Advisory Agreement with the Investment Adviser, the
Fund pays an advisory fee, accrued daily and payable monthly, by applying the
following annual rates to the net assets of the Fund determined at the close of
each business day: 0.67% to the portion of the daily net assets not exceeding
$500 million; 0.645% to the portion of the daily net assets exceeding $500
million but not exceeding $3 billion and 0.62% to the portion of the daily net
assets in excess of $3 billion.

Pursuant to an Administration Agreement with Morgan Stanley Services Company
Inc. (the "Administrator"), an affiliate of the Investment Adviser, the Fund
pays an administration fee, accrued daily and payable monthly, by applying the
annual rate of 0.08% to the Fund's daily net assets.

3. Plan of Distribution

Shares of the Fund are distributed by Morgan Stanley Distributors Inc. (the
"Distributor"), an affiliate of the Investment Adviser and Administrator. The
Fund has adopted a Plan of Distribution (the "Plan") pursuant to Rule 12b-1
under the Act. The Plan provides that the Fund will pay the Distributor a fee
which is accrued daily and paid monthly at the following annual rates: (i) Class
A -- up to 0.25% of the average daily net assets of Class A; (ii) Class B  -- up
to 1.0% of the lesser of: (a) the average daily aggregate gross sales of the
Class B shares since the inception of the Fund (not including reinvestment of
dividend or capital gain distributions) less the average daily aggregate net
asset value of the Class B shares redeemed since the Fund's inception upon which
a contingent deferred sales charge has been imposed or waived; or (b) the
average daily net assets of Class B; and (iii) Class C -- up to 1.0% of the
average daily net assets of Class C.

In the case of Class B shares, provided that the Plan continues in effect, any
cumulative expenses incurred by the Distributor but not yet recovered may be
recovered through the payment of future distribution fees from the Fund pursuant
to the Plan and contingent deferred sales charges paid by

                                                                              23

Morgan Stanley Technology Fund
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - SEPTEMBER 30, 2006 (UNAUDITED) continued

investors upon redemption of Class B shares. Although there is no legal
obligation for the Fund to pay expenses incurred in excess of payments made to
the Distributor under the Plan and the proceeds of contingent deferred sales
charges paid by investors upon redemption of shares, if for any reason the Plan
is terminated, the Trustees will consider at that time the manner in which to
treat such expenses. The Distributor has advised the Fund that such excess
amounts totaled $99,286,107 at September 30, 2006.

In the case of Class A shares and Class C shares, expenses incurred pursuant to
the Plan in any calendar year in excess of 0.25% or 1.0% of the average daily
net assets of Class A or Class C, respectively, will not be reimbursed by the
Fund through payments in any subsequent year, except that expenses representing
a gross sales credit to Morgan Stanley Financial Advisors and other authorized
financial representatives at the time of sale may be reimbursed in the
subsequent calendar year. For the six months ended September 30, 2006, the
distribution fee was accrued for Class A shares and Class C shares at the annual
rate of 0.25 % and 1.0%, respectively.

The Distributor has informed the Fund that for the six months ended September
30, 2006, it received contingent deferred sales charges from certain redemptions
of the Fund's Class A shares, Class B shares and Class C shares of $150,
$247,591 and $1,884, respectively and received $7,759 in front-end sales charges
from sales of the Fund's Class A shares. The respective shareholders pay such
charges which are not an expense of the Fund.

4. Security Transactions and Transactions with Affiliates

The cost of purchases and proceeds from sales of portfolio securities, excluding
short-term investments, for the six months ended September 30, 2006 aggregated
$167,826,982 and $209,084,604, respectively.

For the six months ended September 30, 2006, the Fund incurred brokerage
commissions of $65,127 with Morgan Stanley & Co., Inc., an affiliate of the
Investment Adviser, Administrator and Distributor, for portfolio transactions
executed on behalf of the Fund.

At September 30, 2006, Morgan Stanley Multi-Asset Class Fund, an affiliate of
the Investment Adviser, Administrator and Distributor, held 180,072 Class D
shares of beneficial interest of the Fund.

Morgan Stanley Trust, an affiliate of the Investment Adviser, Administrator and
Distributor, is the Fund's transfer agent.

The Fund began an unfunded Deferred Compensation Plan (the "Compensation Plan")
which allows each independent Trustee to defer payment of all, or a portion, of
the fees he or she receives for

 24

serving on the Board of Trustees. Each eligible Trustee 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 that are offered as investment options
under the Compensation Plan. Appreciation/depreciation and distributions
received from these investments are recorded with an offsetting
increase/decrease in the deferred compensation obligation and do not affect the
net asset value of the Fund.

5. Shares of Beneficial Interest

Transactions in shares of beneficial interest were as follows:

6. Federal Income Tax Status

The amount of dividends and distributions from net investment income and net
realized capital gains are determined in accordance with federal income tax
regulations which may differ from generally accepted accounting principles.
These "book/tax" differences are either considered temporary or permanent in
nature. To the extent these differences are permanent in nature, such amounts
are

                                                                              25

Morgan Stanley Technology Fund
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - SEPTEMBER 30, 2006 (UNAUDITED) continued

reclassified within the capital accounts based on their federal tax-basis
treatment; temporary differences do not require reclassification. Dividends and
distributions which exceed net investment income and net realized capital gains
for tax purposes are reported as distributions of paid-in-capital.

As of March 31, 2006, the Fund had a net capital loss carryforward of
$2,119,010,401 of which $147,683,387 will expire on March 31, 2009,
$1,275,591,838 will expire on March 31, 2010, $670,621,776 will expire on March
31, 2011 and $25,113,400 will expire on March 31, 2012 to offset future capital
gains to the extent provided by regulations.

As of March 31, 2006, the Fund had temporary book/tax differences primarily
attributable to post-October losses (foreign currency losses incurred after
October 31 within the taxable year which are deemed to arise on the first
business day of the Fund's next taxable year) and capital loss deferrals on wash
sales.

7. Expense Offset

The expense offset represents a reduction of the fees and expenses for interest
earned on cash balances maintained by the Fund with the transfer agent.

8. Purposes of and Risks Relating to Certain Financial Instruments

The Fund may enter into forward contracts for many purposes, including to
facilitate settlement of foreign currency denominated portfolio transactions or
to manage foreign currency exposure associated with foreign currency denominated
securities.

To hedge against adverse interest rate and market risks, the Fund may enter into
interest rate futures contracts ("futures contracts").

Forward contracts and futures contracts involve elements of market risk in
excess of the amounts reflected in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. The
Fund bears the risk of an unfavorable change in the foreign exchange rates
underlying the forward contracts or in the value of the underlying securities.
Risks may also arise upon entering into these contracts from the potential
inability of the counterparties to meet the terms of their contracts.

Certain Funds 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.

9. Legal Matters

(1) Beginning October 25, 2002, purported class action complaints were filed in
the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York against
Morgan Stanley, the Fund (under its former name, the Morgan Stanley Information
Fund), Morgan Stanley Investment Advisors Inc., and certain subsidiaries of
Morgan Stanley alleging violations of federal securities laws in connection with
the underwriting and management of the Fund. These actions were consolidated
into one action in which plaintiffs allege that Morgan Stanley analysts issued
overly optimistic stock recommendations to obtain investment banking business,
and that the desire to obtain investment banking business influenced decisions
made by the Fund Manager. A similar consolidated complaint was filed with
respect to the fund formerly called the Morgan Stanley Technology Fund, which
merged with the Fund on October 6, 2003. Both consolidated complaints were
stayed pending a decision by the United States Court of Appeals for the Second
Circuit of an appeal from the dismissal of a very similar complaint filed by
plaintiffs against another mutual funds complex. The case involving the other
mutual funds complex recently settled, although court approval of the settlement
is pending. Upon confirmation from plaintiffs that they intend to pursue their
claims, the Fund, Morgan Stanley and the remaining defendants intend to move to
dismiss both consolidated complaints. The Fund and Morgan Stanley believe these
lawsuits have no merit. However, the ultimate outcome of these matters is not
presently determinable and no provisions has been made in the Fund's financial
statements for the effect, if any, of such matters. The Investment Manager has
agreed to indemnify the Fund against any losses and claims associated with the
complaint filed against the fund formerly called the Morgan Stanley Technology
Fund.

(2) The Investment Adviser, certain affiliates of the Investment Adviser,
certain officers of such affiliates and certain investment companies advised by
the Investment Adviser or its affiliates, including the Fund, were named as
defendants in a consolidated class action. This consolidated action also named
as defendants certain individual Trustees and Directors of the Morgan Stanley
funds. The consolidated amended complaint, filed in the United States District
Court for the Southern District of New York on April 16, 2004, generally alleged
that defendants, including the Fund, violated their statutory disclosure
obligations and fiduciary duties by failing properly to disclose (i) that the
Investment Adviser and certain affiliates of the Investment Adviser allegedly
offered economic incentives to brokers and others to recommend the funds advised
by the Investment Adviser or its affiliates to investors rather than funds
managed by other companies, and (ii) that the funds advised by the Investment
Adviser or its affiliates, including the Fund, allegedly paid excessive
commissions to brokers in return for their alleged efforts to recommend these
funds to investors. The complaint sought, among other things, unspecified
compensatory damages, rescissionary damages, fees and costs. On July 2, 2004,
defendants moved to dismiss the action. On March 9,

                                                                              27

2005, plaintiffs filed a Motion for Leave to File a Supplemental Pleading that
would, among other things, expand the allegations and alleged class. On April
14, 2006, the Court granted defendants' motion to dismiss in its entirety, with
prejudice. Additionally, plaintiffs' Motion for Leave to File a Supplemental
Pleading was denied. The time for plaintiffs to appeal the orders granting
defendants' motion to dismiss and denying plaintiffs' motion for supplemental
pleading has expired. This case is now concluded.

10. New Accounting Pronouncements

In July 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued
Interpretation 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes -- an
interpretation of FASB Statement 109 (FIN 48). FIN 48 clarifies the accounting
for income taxes by prescribing the minimum recognition threshold a tax position
must meet before being recognized in the financial statements. FIN 48 is
effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006. The Fund will
adopt FIN 48 for the fiscal year ending 2008 and the impact to the Fund's
financial statements, if any, is currently being assessed.

In addition, in September 2006, Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No.
157, Fair Value Measurements (SFAS 157), was issued and is effective for fiscal
years beginning after November 15, 2007. SFAS 157 defines fair value,
establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosures about
fair value measurements. Management is currently evaluating the impact the
adoption of SFAS 157 will have on the Fund's financial statement disclosures.

Morgan Stanley Technology Fund
RESULTS OF SPECIAL SHAREHOLDER MEETING

On August 1, 2006, a Special Meeting of Shareholders of the Fund was scheduled
in order to vote on the following proposals: (i) to elect Trustees; (ii) to
eliminate certain fundamental investment restrictions; (iii) to modify certain
fundamental investment restrictions; and (iv) to reclassify certain fundamental
policies as non-fundamental policies. The proposals failed to obtain the quorum
necessary in order to hold the meeting, and, therefore, the meeting was
adjourned several times, most recently until November 30, 2006, to permit
further solicitation of proxies.

                                                                              33
