Item 7. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Liquidity. The Partnership deposits its assets with Morgan Stanley
DW as non-clearing broker and MS & Co. and MSIL as clearing
brokers in separate futures, forwards and options trading accounts
established for the Trading Advisor, which assets are used as
margin to engage in trading. The assets are held in either non-
interest bearing bank accounts or in securities and instruments
permitted by the Commodity Futures Trading Commission for
investment of customer segregated or secured funds. The
Partnership's assets held by the commodity brokers may be used as
margin solely for the Partnership's trading. Since the
Partnership's sole purpose is to trade in futures, forwards and
options, it is expected that the Partnership will continue to own
such liquid assets for margin purposes.
The Partnership's investment in futures, forwards and options may,
from time to time, be illiquid. Most U.S. futures exchanges limit
fluctuations in prices during a single day by regulations referred
to as "daily price fluctuations limits" or "daily limits". Trades
may not be executed at prices beyond the daily limit. If the
price for a particular futures or options contract has increased
or decreased by an amount equal to the daily limit, positions in
that futures or options contract can neither be taken nor
liquidated unless traders are willing to effect trades at or
within the limit. Futures prices have occasionally moved the
<page>
daily limit for several consecutive days with little or no
trading. These market conditions could prevent the Partnership
from promptly liquidating its futures or options contracts and
result in restrictions on redemptions.
There is no limitation on daily price moves in trading forward
contracts on foreign currencies. The markets for some world
currencies have low trading volume and are illiquid, which may
prevent the Partnership from trading in potentially profitable
markets or prevent the Partnership from promptly liquidating
unfavorable positions in such markets, subjecting it to
substantial losses. Either of these market conditions could
result in restrictions on redemptions.
The Partnership has never had illiquidity affect a material
portion of its assets. Furthermore, there are no material
trends, demands, commitments, events or uncertainties known at the
present time that will result in or that are likely to result in
the Partnership's liquidity increasing or decreasing in any
material way.
Capital Resources. The Partnership does not have, nor expect to
have, any capital assets. Redemptions, exchanges and sales of
additional Units in the future will affect the amount of funds
<page>
available for investment in futures, forwards and options in
subsequent periods. It is not possible to estimate the amount and
therefore the impact of future redemptions of Units.
There are no known material trends, favorable or unfavorable, that
would affect, nor any expected material changes to, the
Partnership's capital resource arrangements at the present time.
The Partnership has no off-balance sheet arrangements, nor
contractual obligations or commercial commitments to make future
payments that would affect the Partnership's liquidity or capital
resources. The contracts traded by the Partnership are accounted
for on a trade-date basis and marked to market on a daily basis.
The value of futures contracts is the settlement price on the
exchange on which that futures contract is traded on a particular
day. The value of foreign currency forward contracts is based on
the spot rate as of the close of business, New York City time, on
a given day.
Results of Operations.
General. The Partnership's results depend on the Trading Advisor
and the ability of the Trading Advisor's trading programs to take
advantage of price movements or other profit opportunities in the
futures, forwards and options markets. The following presents a
<page>
summary of the Partnership's operations for the three years ended
December 31, 2002 and a general discussion of its trading
activities during each period. It is important to note, however,
that the Trading Advisor trades in various markets at different
times and that prior activity in a particular market does not mean
that such market will be actively traded by the Trading Advisor or
will be profitable in the future. Consequently, the results of
operations of the Partnership are difficult to discuss other than
in the context of the Trading Advisor's trading activities on
behalf of the Partnership and how the Partnership has performed in
the past.
The Partnership's results of operations are set forth in financial
statements prepared in accordance with United States generally
accepted accounting principles, which require the use of certain
accounting policies that affect the amounts reported in these
financial statements, including the following: The contracts the
Partnership trades are accounted for on a trade-date basis and
marked to market on a daily basis. The difference between their
cost and market value is recorded on the Statements of Operations
as "Net change in unrealized profit/loss" for open (unrealized)
contracts, and recorded as "Realized profit/loss" when open
positions are closed out, and the sum of these amounts constitutes
the Partnership's trading revenues. Interest income revenue as
well as management fees, incentive fees and brokerage fees
expenses of the Partnership are recorded on an accrual basis.
<page>
Demeter believes that, based on the nature of the operations of
the Partnership, no assumptions other than those presently used
relating to the application of critical accounting policies are
reasonably plausible that could affect reported amounts.
At December 31, 2002, the Partnership's total capital was
$116,396,220, an increase of $68,455,452 from the Partnership's
total capital of $47,940,768 at December 31, 2001. For the year
ended December 31, 2002, the Partnership generated net income of
$24,627,018, total subscriptions aggregated $52,695,849 and total
redemptions aggregated $8,867,415.
For the year ended December 31, 2002, the Partnership recorded
total trading revenues, including interest income, of $34,435,014
and posted an increase in net asset value per Unit. The most
significant gains of approximately 23.4% were recorded in the
global interest rate futures markets from long positions in
European and U.S. interest rate futures as prices trended higher
during the period from June through September, as well as in
December, drawing strong support from falling equity prices,
increased economic uncertainty, and global tensions. Additional
gains of approximately 21.3% were recorded in the currency
markets from long positions in the euro and Swiss franc versus
the U.S. dollar as the value of the dollar weakened during May,
June, and December, prompted by pessimism regarding a U.S.
<page>
economic recovery and increased global tensions concerning India,
Pakistan, Iraq, and North Korea. Smaller gains of approximately
6.6% were recorded in the agricultural futures markets from long
positions in corn and wheat futures as prices trended higher
during the third quarter amid fears that continued hot-dry
weather would have an adverse affect on crops in the U.S midwest.
In the global stock index futures markets, gains of approximately
6.1% were recorded from short positions in U.S. and European
stock index futures, primarily in July and September, as prices
moved lower amid suspicions regarding corporate accounting
practices and skepticism surrounding a global economic recovery.
A portion of the Partnership's overall gains was offset by losses
of approximately 4.9% recorded in the metals futures markets from
positions in copper, nickel and zinc futures as prices moved
without consistent direction throughout a majority of the year
amid shifting supply and demand concerns. In the energy futures
markets, losses of approximately 3.7% were recorded from long
positions in crude oil futures as prices reversed lower during
May and October amid a temporary easing of tensions between the
U.S. and Iraq. Total expenses for the year were $9,807,996,
resulting in net income of $24,627,018. The net asset value of a
Unit increased from $13.77 at December 31, 2001 to $18.84 at
December 31, 2002.
<page>
At December 31, 2001, the Partnership's total capital was
$47,940,768, an increase of $19,169,610 from the Partnership's
total capital of $28,771,158 at December 31, 2000. For the year
ended December 31, 2001, the Partnership generated net income of
$3,258,760, total subscriptions aggregated $20,812,938 and total
redemptions aggregated $4,902,088.
For the year ended December 31, 2001, the Partnership recorded
total trading revenues, including interest income, of $8,379,420
and posted an increase in net asset value per Unit. The most
significant gains of approximately 12.3% were recorded in the
global interest rate futures markets primarily during August and
September from long positions in U.S. interest rate futures as
domestic bond prices trended higher amid concerns for the U.S.
economy, declining stock prices, as well as in reaction to the
Federal Reserve's interest rate cuts. Smaller gains were recorded
from long positions in short-term European interest rate futures
as prices trended higher. In the global stock index futures
markets, gains of approximately 7.4% were recorded primarily
during the third quarter from short positions in DAX, TOPIX and
Nikkei index futures as equity prices moved sharply lower on
corporate profit warnings and amid worries regarding global
economic uncertainty. In the metals markets, gains of
approximately 4.1% were recorded primarily throughout the third
quarter from short futures positions in copper and zinc as base
metals prices trended lower as a result of increased supplies and
<page>
weak demand. A portion of the Partnership's overall gains was
partially offset by losses of approximately 1.5% recorded in the
agricultural markets from trading soybean meal and soybean oil
futures. Total expenses for the year were $5,120,660, resulting
in net income of $3,258,760. The net asset value of a Unit
increased from $12.55 at December 31, 2000 to $13.77 at December
31, 2001.
At December 31, 2000, the Partnership's total capital was
$28,771,158, an increase of $8,110,046 from the Partnership's
total capital of $20,661,112 at December 31, 1999. For the year
ended December 31, 2000, the Partnership generated net income of
$5,323,879, total subscriptions aggregated $7,687,343 and total
redemptions aggregated $4,901,176.
For the year ended December 31, 2000, the Partnership recorded
total trading revenues, including interest income, of $8,225,638
and posted an increase in net asset value per Unit. The most
significant gains of approximately 15.8% were recorded in the
currency markets primarily during January, April, August and
October from short positions in the euro and Swiss franc as the
value of these European currencies weakened relative to the U.S.
dollar amid skepticism about Europe's economic outlook.
Additional gains were recorded primarily during November from
<page>
short positions in the Korean won as its value weakened versus
the U.S. dollar due to concerns over political and economic woes
in that region. In the interest rate futures markets, gains of
approximately 12.9% were recorded primarily during November and
December from long positions in U.S. interest rate futures as
prices climbed higher amid a drop in stock prices and as fears of
an economic slowdown drew investors to the perceived safety of
government securities. Additional gains were recorded during
December from long positions in European and Australian interest
rate futures as prices in these markets rose amid speculation
that the U.S. Federal Reserve would lower interest rates in the
near future. In the energy markets, gains of approximately 11.9%
were recorded primarily during May, August, September, November
and December from long positions in natural gas futures as prices
climbed to all-time highs amid supply and storage concerns. A
portion of the Partnership's overall gains was partially offset
by losses of approximately 3.7% recorded in the metals markets
primarily during November and December from long positions in
copper and aluminum futures as prices declined after concerns
mounted that demand would weaken amid a cooling of the U.S.
economy. Total expenses for the year were $2,901,759, resulting
in net income of $5,323,879. The net asset value of a Unit
increased from $10.29 at December 31, 1999 to $12.55 at December
31, 2000.
<page>
The Partnership's overall performance record represents varied
results of trading in different futures, forwards, and options
markets. For an analysis of unrealized gains and (losses) by
contract type and a further description of 2002 trading results,
refer to the "Letter to the Limited Partners" in the Partnership's
Annual Report to Limited Partners for the year ended December 31,
2002, which is incorporated by reference to Exhibit 13.01 of this
Form 10-K.
The Partnership's gains and losses are allocated among its
partners for income tax purposes.
Credit Risk.
Financial Instruments. The Partnership is a party to financial
instruments with elements of off-balance sheet market and credit
risk. The Partnership trades futures, forwards and options in
interest rates, stock indices, currencies, agriculturals,
energies and metals. In entering into these contracts, the
Partnership is subject to the market risk that such contracts may
be significantly influenced by market conditions, such as
interest rate volatility, resulting in such contracts being less
valuable. If the markets should move against all of the positions
held by the Partnership at the same time, and if the Trading
Advisor were unable to offset positions of the Partnership, the
Partnership could lose all of its assets and the limited partners
would realize a 100% loss.
<page>
In addition to the Trading Advisor's internal controls, the
Trading Advisor must comply with the trading policies of the
Partnership. These trading policies include standards for
liquidity and leverage with which the Partnership must comply.
The Trading Advisor and Demeter monitor the Partnership's trading
activities to ensure compliance with the trading policies.
Demeter may require the Trading Advisor to modify positions of
the Partnership if Demeter believes they violate the
Partnership's trading policies.
In addition to market risk, in entering into futures, forward and
options contracts there is a credit risk to the Partnership that
the counterparty on a contract will not be able to meet its
obligations to the Partnership. The ultimate counterparty or
guarantor of the Partnership for futures contracts traded in the
United States and the foreign exchanges on which the Partnership
trades is the clearinghouse associated with such exchange. In
general, a clearinghouse is backed by the membership of the
exchange and will act in the event of non-performance by one of
its members or one of its member's customers, which should
significantly reduce this credit risk. For example, a
clearinghouse may cover a default by drawing upon a defaulting
member's mandatory contributions and/or non-defaulting members'
contributions to a clearinghouse guarantee fund, established
lines or letters of credit with banks, and/or the clearinghouse's
<page>
surplus capital and other available assets of the exchange and
clearinghouse, or assessing its members. In cases where the
Partnership trades off-exchange forward contracts with a
counterparty, the sole recourse of the Partnership will be the
forward contracts counterparty.
There is no assurance that a clearinghouse, exchange or other
exchange member will meet its obligations to the Partnership, and
Demeter and the commodity brokers will not indemnify the
Partnership against a default by such parties. Further, the law
is unclear as to whether a commodity broker has any obligation to
protect its customers from loss in the event of an exchange or
clearinghouse defaulting on trades effected for the broker's
customers. Any such obligation on the part of a broker appears
even less clear where the default occurs in a non-U.S.
jurisdiction.
Demeter deals with these credit risks of the Partnership in
several ways. First, it monitors the Partnership's credit
exposure to each exchange on a daily basis, calculating not only
the amount of margin required for it but also the amount of its
unrealized gains at each exchange, if any. The commodity brokers
inform the Partnership, as with all their customers, of its net
margin requirements for all its existing open positions, but do
not break that net figure down, exchange by exchange. Demeter,
<page>
however, has installed a system which permits it to monitor the
Partnership's potential margin liability, exchange by exchange.
As a result, Demeter is able to monitor the Partnership's
potential net credit exposure to each exchange by adding the
unrealized trading gains on that exchange, if any, to the
Partnership's margin liability thereon.
Second, the Partnership's trading policies limit the amount of
its net assets that can be committed at any given time to futures
contracts and require, in addition, a minimum amount of
diversification in the Partnership's trading, usually over
several different products. One of the aims of such trading
policies has been to reduce the credit exposure of the
Partnership to a single exchange and, historically, the
Partnership's exposure to any one exchange has typically amounted
to only a small percentage of its total net assets. On those
relatively few occasions where the Partnership's credit exposure
may climb above such level, Demeter deals with the situation on a
case by case basis, carefully weighing whether the increased
level of credit exposure remains appropriate. Material changes
to the trading policies may be made only with the prior written
approval of the limited partners owning more than 50% of Units
then outstanding.
<page>
Third, with respect to forward contract trading, the Partnership
trades with only those counterparties which Demeter, together
with Morgan Stanley DW, have determined to be creditworthy. The
Partnership presently deals with MS & Co. as the sole
counterparty on forward contracts.
See "Financial Instruments" under "Notes to Financial Statements"
in the Partnership's Annual Report to Limited Partners for the
year ended December 31, 2002, which is incorporated by reference
to Exhibit 13.01 of this Form 10-K.
Inflation has not been a major factor in the Partnership's
operations.
Item 7A.QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
Introduction
The Partnership is a commodity pool engaged primarily in the
speculative trading of futures, forwards, and options. The
market-sensitive instruments held by the Partnership are acquired
for speculative trading purposes only and, as a result, all or
substantially all of the Partnership's assets are at risk of
trading loss. Unlike an operating company, the risk of market-
sensitive instruments is central, not incidental, to the
Partnership's main business activities.
<page>
The futures, forwards, and options traded by the Partnership
involve varying degrees of related market risk. Market risk is
often dependent upon changes in the level or volatility of
interest rates, exchange rates and prices of financial
instruments and commodities. Fluctuations in market risk based
upon these factors result in frequent changes in the fair value
of the Partnership's open positions, and, consequently, in its
earnings and cash flow.
The Partnership's total market risk is influenced by a wide
variety of factors, including the diversification among the
Partnership's open positions, the volatility present within the
markets, and the liquidity of the markets. At different times,
each of these factors may act to increase or decrease the market
risk associated with the Partnership.
The Partnership's past performance is not necessarily indicative
of its future results. Any attempt to numerically quantify the
Partnership's market risk is limited by the uncertainty of its
speculative trading. The Partnership's speculative trading may
cause future losses and volatility (i.e., "risk of ruin") that
far exceed the Partnership's experiences to date or any
reasonable expectations based upon historical changes in market
value.
<page>
Quantifying the Partnership's Trading Value at Risk
The following quantitative disclosures regarding the Partnership's
market risk exposures contain "forward-looking statements" within
the meaning of the safe harbor from civil liability provided for
such statements by the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of
1995 (set forth in Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and
Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934). All
quantitative disclosures in this section are deemed to be forward-
looking statements for purposes of the safe harbor, except for
statements of historical fact.
The Partnership accounts for open positions on the basis of mark-
to-market accounting principles. Any loss in the market value of
the Partnership's open positions is directly reflected in the
Partnership's earnings, whether realized or unrealized, and its
cash flow. Profits and losses on open positions of exchange-
traded futures, forwards and options are settled daily through
variation margin.
The Partnership's risk exposure in the market sectors traded by
the Trading Advisor is estimated below in terms of Value at Risk
("VaR"). The VaR model used by the Partnership includes many
variables that could change the market value of the Partnership's
trading portfolio. The Partnership estimates VaR using a model
based upon historical simulation with a confidence level of 99%.
Historical simulation involves constructing a distribution of
<page>
hypothetical daily changes in the value of a trading portfolio.
The VaR model takes into account linear exposures to price and
interest rate risk. Market risks that are incorporated in the VaR
model include equity and commodity prices, interest rates, foreign
exchange rates, and correlation among these variables. The
hypothetical changes in portfolio value are based on daily
percentage changes observed in key market indices or other market
factors ("market risk factors") to which the portfolio is
sensitive. The historical observation period of the Partnership's
VaR is approximately four years. The one-day 99% confidence level
of the Partnership's VaR corresponds to the negative change in
portfolio value that, based on observed market risk factors, would
have been exceeded once in 100 trading days. In other words, one-
day VaR for a portfolio is a number such that losses in this
portfolio are estimated to exceed the VaR only one day in 100.
VaR typically does not represent the worst case outcome.
VaR is calculated using historical simulation. Demeter uses
approximately four years of daily market data (1,000
observations) and revalues its portfolio (using delta-gamma
approximations) for each of the historical market moves that
occurred over this time period. This generates a probability
distribution of daily "simulated profit and loss" outcomes. The
VaR is the appropriate percentile of this distribution. For
<page>
example, the 99% one-day VaR would represent the 10th worst
outcome from Demeter's simulated profit and loss series.
The Partnership's VaR computations are based on the risk
representation of the underlying benchmark for each instrument or
contract and does not distinguish between exchange and non-
exchange-traded instruments and is also not based on exchange
and/or dealer-based margin requirements.
VaR models, including the Partnership's, are continuously
evolving as trading portfolios become more diverse and modeling
techniques and systems capabilities improve. Please note that
the VaR model is used to numerically quantify market risk for
historic reporting purposes only and is not utilized by either
Demeter or the Trading Advisor in their daily risk management
activities. Please further note that VaR as described above may
not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other
entities.
The Partnership's Value at Risk in Different Market Sectors
The following table indicates the VaR associated with the
Partnership's open positions as a percentage of total net assets
by primary market risk category at December 31, 2002 and 2001. At
December 31, 2002 and 2001, the Partnership's total
<page>
capitalization was approximately $116 million and $48 million,
respectively.
Primary Market December 31, 2002 December 31, 2001
Risk Category Value at Risk Value at Risk
Currency (1.91)% (1.98)%
Interest Rate (1.89) (0.97)
Equity (0.61) (0.18)
Commodity (1.62) (0.95)
Aggregate Value at Risk (3.27)% (2.59)%
The VaR for a market category represents the one-day downside
risk for the aggregate exposures associated with this market
category. The aggregate VaR, listed above for the Partnership,
represents the aggregate VaR of the Partnership's open positions
across all the market categories, and is less than the sum of the
VaR(s) for all such market categories due to the diversification
benefit across asset classes.
The table above represents the VaR of the Partnership's open
positions at December 31, 2002 and 2001 only and is not
necessarily representative of either the historic or future risk
of an investment in the Partnership. Because the Partnership's
only business is the speculative trading of futures, forwards and
options, the composition of its trading portfolio can change
significantly over any given time period, or even within a single
<page>
trading day. Any changes in open positions could positively or
negatively materially impact market risk as measured by VaR.
The table below supplements the December 31, 2002 VaR by
presenting the Partnership's high, low and average VaR, as a
percentage of total net assets for the four quarterly reporting
periods from January 1, 2002 through December 31, 2002.
Primary Market Risk Category High Low Average
Currency (2.25)% (0.52)% (1.41)%
Interest Rate (3.24) (0.72) (1.97)
Equity (1.30) (0.41) (0.82)
Commodity (1.62) (0.69) (1.28)
Aggregate Value at Risk (4.59)% (2.08)% (3.23)%
Limitations on Value at Risk as an Assessment of Market Risk
The face value of the market sector instruments held by the
Partnership is typically many times the applicable margin
requirements. Margin requirements generally range between 2% and
15% of contract face value. Additionally, the use of leverage
causes the face value of the market sector instruments held by
the Partnership to typically be many times the total
capitalization of the Partnership. The value of the
Partnership's open positions thus creates a "risk of ruin" not
<page>
usually found in other investments. The relative size of the
positions held may cause the Partnership to incur losses greatly
in excess of VaR within a short period of time, given the effects
of the leverage employed and market volatility. The VaR tables
above, as well as the past performance of the Partnership, give
no indication of such "risk of ruin". In addition, VaR risk
measures should be viewed in light of the methodology's
limitations, which include the following:
? past changes in market risk factors will not always result in
accurate predictions of the distributions and correlations of
future market movements;
? changes in portfolio value caused by market movements may
differ from those of the VaR model;
? VaR results reflect past trading positions while future risk
depends on future positions;
? VaR using a one-day time horizon does not fully capture the
market risk of positions that cannot be liquidated or hedged
within one day; and
? the historical market risk factor data used for VaR estimation
may provide only limited insight into losses that could be
incurred under certain unusual market movements.
The VaR tables above present the results of the Partnership's VaR
for each of the Partnership's market risk exposures and on an
<page>
aggregate basis at December 31, 2002 and 2001 and for the end of
the four quarterly reporting periods during calendar year 2002.
Since VaR is based on historical data, VaR should not be viewed
as predictive of the Partnership's future financial performance
or its ability to manage or monitor risk. There can be no
assurance that the Partnership's actual losses on a particular
day will not exceed the VaR amounts indicated above or that such
losses will not occur more than once in 100 trading days.
Non-Trading Risk
The Partnership has non-trading market risk on its foreign cash
balances not needed for margin. These balances and any market
risk they may represent are immaterial.
At December 31, 2002, the Partnership's cash balance at Morgan
Stanley DW was approximately 80% of its total net asset value. A
decline in short-term interest rates will result in a decline in
the Partnership's cash management income. This cash flow risk is
not considered to be material.
Materiality, as used throughout this section, is based on an
assessment of reasonably possible market movements and any
associated potential losses, taking into account the leverage,
optionality and multiplier features of the Partnership's market-
<page>
sensitive instruments, in relation to the Partnership's net
assets.
Qualitative Disclosures Regarding Primary Trading Risk Exposures
The following qualitative disclosures regarding the Partnership's
market risk exposures - except for (A) those disclosures that are
statements of historical fact and (B) the descriptions of how the
Partnership manages its primary market risk exposures -
constitute forward-looking statements within the meaning of
Section 27A of the Securities Act and Section 21E of the
Securities Exchange Act. The Partnership's primary market risk
exposures as well as the strategies used and to be used by
Demeter and the Trading Advisor for managing such exposures are
subject to numerous uncertainties, contingencies and risks, any
one of which could cause the actual results of the Partnership's
risk controls to differ materially from the objectives of such
strategies. Government interventions, defaults and expropria-
tions, illiquid markets, the emergence of dominant fundamental
factors, political upheavals, changes in historical price
relationships, an influx of new market participants, increased
regulation and many other factors could result in material losses
as well as in material changes to the risk exposures and the risk
management strategies of the Partnership. Investors must be
prepared to lose all or substantially all of their investment in
the Partnership.
<page>
The following were the primary trading risk exposures of the
Partnership at December 31, 2002, by market sector. It may be
anticipated, however, that these market exposures will vary
materially over time.
Currency. The primary market exposure of the Partnership at
December 31, 2002 was to the currency sector. The
Partnership's currency exposure is to exchange rate fluctuations,
primarily fluctuations which disrupt the historical pricing
relationships between different currencies and currency pairs.
Interest rate changes as well as political and general economic
conditions influence these fluctuations. The Partnership trades
a large number of currencies, including cross-rates - i.e.,
positions between two currencies other than the U.S. dollar. At
December 31, 2002, the Partnership's major exposures were to
euro, Japanese yen and British pound currency crosses, and
outright U.S. dollar positions. Outright positions consist of the
U.S. dollar vs. other currencies. These other currencies include
major and minor currencies. Demeter does not anticipate that the
risk profile of the Partnership's currency sector will change
significantly in the future. The currency trading VaR figure
includes foreign margin amounts converted into U.S. dollars with
an incremental adjustment to reflect the exchange rate risk
inherent to the U.S.-based Partnership in expressing VaR in a
functional currency other than U.S. dollars.
<page>
Interest Rate. The second largest market exposure at December
31, 2002 was to the global interest rate sector. Exposure was
primarily spread across the U.S., European and Japanese interest
rate sectors. Interest rate movements directly affect the price
of the sovereign bond futures positions held by the Partnership
and indirectly affect the value of its stock index and currency
positions. Interest rate movements in one country as well as
relative interest rate movements between countries materially
impact the Partnership's profitability. The Partnership's
primary interest rate exposure is generally to interest rate
fluctuations in the U.S. and the other G-7 countries. The G-7
countries consist of France, the U.S., Britain, Germany, Japan,
Italy and Canada. However, the Partnership also takes futures
positions in the government debt of smaller nations - e.g.
Australia. Demeter anticipates that the G-7 countries' interest
rates will remain the primary interest rate exposure of the
Partnership for the foreseeable future. The speculative futures
positions held by the Partnership may range from short to long-
term instruments. Consequently, changes in short, medium or long-
term interest rates may have an effect on the Partnership.
Equity. The primary equity exposure at December 31, 2002 was to
equity price risk in the G-7 countries. The stock index futures
traded by the Partnership are by law limited to futures on
broadly-based indices. At December 31, 2002, the Partnership's
<page>
primary exposures were to the Nikkei (Japan), TOPIX (Japan) and
Hang Seng (Hong Kong) stock indices. The Partnership is
primarily exposed to the risk of adverse price trends or static
markets in the U.S., European, Japanese and Hong Kong stock
indices. Static markets would not cause major market changes but
would make it difficult for the Partnership to avoid being
"whipsawed" into numerous small losses.
Commodity.
Energy. At December 31, 2002, the Partnership's energy
exposure was shared primarily by futures contracts in crude
oil and its related products, and natural gas. Price
movements in these markets result from political
developments in the Middle East, weather patterns and other
economic fundamentals. Significant profits and losses,
which have been experienced in the past, are expected to
continue to be experienced in the future. Natural gas has
exhibited volatility in prices resulting from weather
patterns and supply and demand factors and will likely
continue in this choppy pattern.
Soft Commodities and Agriculturals. At December 31, 2002,
the Partnership had exposure to the markets that comprise
these sectors. Most of the exposure was to the corn and
sugar markets. Supply and demand inequalities, severe
<page>
weather disruption and market expectations affect price
movements in these markets.
Metals. The Partnership's metals exposure at December 31,
2002 was to fluctuations in the price of precious metals
such as gold, and base metals, such as aluminum. Economic
forces, supply and demand inequalities, geopolitical factors
and market expectations influence price movements in these
markets. The Trading Advisor, from time to time, takes
positions when market opportunities develop and Demeter
anticipates that the Partnership will continue to do so.
Qualitative Disclosures Regarding Non-Trading Risk Exposure
The following was the only non-trading risk exposure of the
Partnership at December 31, 2002:
Foreign Currency Balances. The Partnership's primary
foreign currency balances at December 31, 2002 were in Hong
Kong dollars, Canadian dollars and Swedish kronas. The
Partnership controls the non-trading risk of these balances
by regularly converting them back into U.S. dollars upon
liquidation of their respective positions.
<page>
Qualitative Disclosures Regarding Means of Managing Risk Exposure
The Partnership and the Trading Advisor, separately, attempt to
manage the risk of the Partnership's open positions in
essentially the same manner in all market categories traded.
Demeter attempts to manage market exposure by diversifying the
Partnership's assets among different market sectors and trading
approaches, and monitoring the performance of the Trading Advisor
daily. In addition, the Trading Advisor establishes
diversification guidelines, often set in terms of the maximum
margin to be committed to positions in any one market sector or
market-sensitive instrument.
Demeter monitors and controls the risk of the Partnership's non-
trading instrument, cash. Cash is the only Partnership
investment directed by Demeter, rather than the Trading Advisor.

market sector in which each Fund participates. Please note that there is not an
equal amount of assets in each market sector, and the specific allocations of
assets by a Fund to each sector will vary over time within a predetermined
range. Below each chart is a description of the factors that influenced trading
gains and trading losses within each Fund during the year.

We have audited the accompanying statement of financial condition, including

Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based

We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally

examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in
the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
ORGANIZATION. Morgan Stanley Charter Campbell L.P. ("Charter Campbell"),
Morgan Stanley Charter MSFCM L.P. ("Charter MSFCM"), Morgan Stanley Charter
Graham L.P. ("Charter Graham"), Morgan Stanley Charter Millburn L.P. ("Charter
Millburn"), and Morgan Stanley Charter Welton L.P. ("Charter Welton")
(individually, a "Partnership", or collectively, the "Partnerships") are
limited partnerships organized to engage primarily in the speculative trading
of futures contracts, options on futures contracts, and forward contracts on
physical commodities and other commodity interests, including foreign
currencies, financial instruments, metals, energy and agricultural products
(collectively, "futures interests").
The general partner for each Partnership is Demeter Management Corporation
("Demeter"). The non-clearing commodity broker is Morgan Stanley DW Inc.
("Morgan Stanley DW"). The clearing commodity brokers are Morgan Stanley & Co.
Incorporated ("MS&Co.") and Morgan Stanley & Co. International Limited
("MSIL"). The trading advisor for Charter MSFCM is Morgan Stanley Futures
& Currency Management Inc. ("MSFCM"). Demeter, Morgan Stanley DW, MS&Co., MSIL
and MSFCM are wholly-owned subsidiaries of Morgan Stanley.
DWFCM International Access Fund L.P. became one of the Charter Series of
funds effective December 1, 2000. Each outstanding unit of limited partnership
interest ("Unit(s)") in DWFCM International Access Fund L.P. was converted to
100 Units of Charter MSFCM. The number of Units outstanding, net income or loss
per Unit and Net Asset Value per Unit have been adjusted for all prior
reporting periods to reflect this conversion.
Effective June 20, 2002, Morgan Stanley Dean Witter & Co. changed its name to
Morgan Stanley.
Effective July 29, 2002, Charter Campbell was added to the Charter Series and
began trading on October 1, 2002.
MORGAN STANLEY CHARTER SERIES
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(continued)
Effective December 31, 2002, Charter Welton ceased trading and will commence
dissolution in April 2003 in accordance with its Limited Partnership Agreement.
Demeter is required to maintain a 1% minimum interest in the equity of each
Partnership and income (losses) are shared by Demeter and the Limited Partners
based on their proportional ownership interests.
USE OF ESTIMATES. The financial statements are prepared in accordance with
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, which
require management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported
amounts in the financial statements and related disclosures. Management
believes that the estimates utilized in the preparation of the financial
statements are prudent and reasonable. Actual results could differ from those
estimates.
REVENUE RECOGNITION. Futures interests are open commitments until settlement
date. They are valued at market on a daily basis and the resulting net change
in unrealized gains and losses is reflected in the change in unrealized profit
(loss) on open contracts from one period to the next in the statement of
operations. Monthly, Morgan Stanley DW credits each Partnership with interest
income on 100% of its average daily funds held at Morgan Stanley DW. In
addition, Morgan Stanley DW credits each Partnership with 100% of the interest
income Morgan Stanley DW receives from MS&Co. and MSIL with respect to such
Partnership's assets deposited as margin. The interest rates used are equal to
that earned by Morgan Stanley DW on its U.S. Treasury bill investments. Prior
to December 1, 2000 Charter MSFCM was credited with interest income based on
80% of the average daily Net Assets for the month at a rate equal to the
average yield on 13-week U.S. Treasury bills. For purposes of such interest
payments Net Assets do not include monies owed to the Partnerships on forward
contracts and other futures interests.
NET INCOME (LOSS) PER UNIT. Net income (loss) per Unit is computed using the
weighted average number of Units outstanding during the period.

CONDENSED SCHEDULES OF INVESTMENTS. In March 2001, the American Institute of
Certified Public Accountants' Accounting Standards Executive Committee issued
Statement of Position ("SOP") 01-1, "Amendment to the Scope of Statement of
Position 95-2, Financial Reporting by Nonpublic Investment Partnerships, to
Include Commodity Pools" effective for fiscal years ending after December 15,
2001. Accordingly, commodity pools are required to include a condensed schedule
of investments identifying those investments which constitute more than 5% of
Net Assets, taking long and short positions into account separately.
EQUITY IN FUTURES INTERESTS TRADING ACCOUNTS. The Partnerships' asset "Equity
in futures interests trading accounts", reflected in the statements of
financial condition, consists of (A) cash on deposit with Morgan Stanley DW,
MS&Co. and MSIL to be used as margin for trading; (B) net unrealized gains or
losses on open contracts, which are valued at market, and calculated as the
difference between original contract value and market value; and (C) net option
premiums, which represent the net of all monies paid and/or received for such
option premiums.
The Partnerships, in their normal course of business, enter into various
contracts with MS&Co. and MSIL acting as their commodity brokers. Pursuant to
brokerage agreements with MS&Co. and MSIL, to the extent that such trading
results in unrealized gains or losses, these amounts are offset and reported on
a net basis in the Partnerships' statements of financial condition.
The Partnerships have offset the fair value amounts recognized for forward
contracts executed with the same counterparty as allowable under terms of the
master netting agreements with MS&Co., the sole counterparty on such contracts.
The Partnerships have consistently applied their right to offset.
BROKERAGE AND RELATED TRANSACTION FEES AND COSTS. Each Partnership pays a
flat-rate monthly brokerage fee of 1/12 of 6.75% of the Partnership's Net
Assets as of the first day of each month (a 6.75% annual rate). Such fees
currently cover all brokerage commissions, transaction fees and costs and
ordinary administrative and offering expenses.
MORGAN STANLEY CHARTER SERIES
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(continued)
Prior to May 1, 2002, each Partnership paid a flat-rate monthly brokerage fee
of 1/12 of 7% of the Partnership's Net Assets as of the first day of each
month (a 7% annual rate).
Prior to becoming a member of the Charter Series on December 1, 2000, Charter
MSFCM accrued brokerage commissions and transaction fees and costs on a
half-turn basis, at 80% and 100%, respectively, of the rates Morgan Stanley DW
charged parties that were not clearinghouse members. Total brokerage
commissions and transaction fees chargeable to the Partnership were capped at
13/20 of 1% per month (a maximum 7.8% annual rate) of the Partnership's
adjusted month-end Net Assets.
OPERATING EXPENSES. Each of the Partnerships incurs monthly management fees
and may incur incentive fees. All common administrative and continuing offering
expenses including legal, auditing, accounting, filing fees and other related
expenses are borne by Morgan Stanley DW through the brokerage fees paid by the
Partnerships.
Prior to becoming a member of the Charter Series on December 1, 2000, Charter
MSFCM paid all operating expenses related to its trading activities, up to a
maximum 1/4 of 1% annually of its average month-end Net Assets. Charter
MSFCM's operating expenses included filing fees, legal, auditing, accounting,
mailing, printing and other incidental expenses as permitted by its Limited
Partnership Agreement at the time.
INCOME TAXES. No provision for income taxes has been made in the accompanying
financial statements, as partners are individually responsible for reporting
income or loss based upon their respective share of each Partnership's revenues
and expenses for income tax purposes.
DISTRIBUTIONS. Distributions, other than redemptions of Units, are made on a
pro-rata basis at the sole discretion of Demeter. No distributions have been
made to date.
CONTINUING OFFERING. Units of each Partnership are offered at a price equal to
100% of the Net Asset Value per Unit at monthly closings held as of the last
day of each month. No selling commissions or charges related
MORGAN STANLEY CHARTER SERIES
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(continued)
to the continuing offering of Units are paid by the Limited Partners or the
Partnerships. Morgan Stanley DW pays all such costs.
REDEMPTIONS. Limited Partners may redeem some or all of their Units as of the
last day of the sixth month following the closing at which a person first
becomes a Limited Partner. Redemptions may only be made in whole Units, with a
minimum of 100 Units required for each redemption, unless a Limited Partner is
redeeming his entire interest in a particular Partnership.
Units redeemed on or prior to the last day of the twelfth month from the date
of purchase will be subject to a redemption charge equal to 2% of the Net Asset
Value of a Unit on the Redemption Date. Units redeemed after the last day of
the twelfth month and on or prior to the last day of the twenty-fourth month
from the date of purchase will be subject to a redemption charge equal to 1% of
the Net Asset Value of a Unit on the Redemption Date. Units redeemed after the
last day of the twenty-fourth month from the date of purchase will not be
subject to a redemption charge. The foregoing redemption charges are paid to
Morgan Stanley DW.
EXCHANGES. On the last day of the first month which occurs more than six
months after a person first becomes a Limited Partner in any of the
Partnerships, and at the end of each month thereafter, Limited Partners may
transfer their investment among the Partnerships (subject to certain
restrictions outlined in the Limited Partnership Agreements) without paying
additional charges.
DISSOLUTION OF THE PARTNERSHIPS. Charter Welton terminated trading on December
31, 2002 and will commence dissolution in accordance with its Limited
Partnership Agreement in April 2003. Charter MSFCM will terminate on December
31, 2025 and Charter Campbell, Charter Graham and Charter Millburn will
terminate on December 31, 2035 or at an earlier date if certain conditions
occur as defined in each Partnership's Limited Partnership Agreement.
LITIGATION SETTLEMENT. On February 27, 2002, Charter MSFCM received
notification of a preliminary entitlement to payment from the Sumitomo Copper

2. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
Each Partnership pays brokerage fees to Morgan Stanley DW as described in Note
1. Each Partnership's cash is on deposit with Morgan Stanley DW, MS&Co. and
MSIL in futures interests trading accounts to meet margin requirements as
needed. Morgan Stanley DW pays interest on these funds as described in Note 1.
Demeter, on behalf of Charter MSFCM and itself, entered into a management
agreement with MSFCM to make all trading decisions for the Partnership. Charter
MSFCM pays management and incentive fees (if any) to MSFCM.
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
3. TRADING ADVISORS
Demeter, on behalf of Charter Campbell, Charter MSFCM, Charter Graham, Charter
Millburn and Charter Welton, retains certain commodity trading advisors to make
all trading decisions for the Partnerships. The trading advisors for each
Partnership at December 31, 2002 were as follows:
Morgan Stanley Charter Campbell L.P.
Campbell & Company, Inc.
Morgan Stanley Charter MSFCM L.P.
Morgan Stanley Futures & Currency Management Inc.
Morgan Stanley Charter Graham L.P.
Graham Capital Management, L.P.
Morgan Stanley Charter Millburn L.P.
Millburn Ridgefield Corporation
Morgan Stanley Charter Welton L.P.
Welton Investment Corporation
Compensation to the trading advisors by the Partnerships consists of a
management fee and an incentive fee as follows:
MANAGEMENT FEE. Each Partnership pays its trading advisor a flat-rate monthly
fee of 1/12 of 2% (a 2% annual rate) or, in the case of Charter Campbell, a
MORGAN STANLEY CHARTER SERIES
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(continued)
monthly fee of 1/12 of 2.75% (a 2.75% annual rate), of the Partnership's Net
Assets under management by each trading advisor as of the first day of each
month.
Prior to December 1, 2000, Charter MSFCM paid a monthly management fee equal
to 1/4 of 1% (a 3% annual rate) of the Partnership's adjusted Net Assets, as
defined in the management agreement, as of the last day of each month.
INCENTIVE FEE. Each Partnership's incentive fee is equal to 20% of trading
profits, paid on a quarterly basis for Charter MSFCM, and paid on a monthly
basis for Charter Campbell, Charter Graham, Charter Millburn and Charter Welton.
Prior to December 1, 2000, Charter MSFCM paid a quarterly incentive fee equal
to 15% of the trading profits earned by the Partnership as of the end of each
calendar quarter.
Trading profits represent the amount by which profits from futures, forwards
and options trading exceed losses after brokerage and management fees are
deducted. When a trading advisor experiences losses with respect to Net Assets
as of the end of a calendar month, or calendar quarter with respect to Charter
MSFCM, the trading advisor must recover such losses before that trading advisor
is eligible for an incentive fee in the future.
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
4. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
The Partnerships trade futures contracts, options on futures contracts and
forward contracts on physical commodities and other commodity interests,
including foreign currencies, financial instruments, metals, energy and
agricultural products. Futures and forwards represent contracts for delayed
delivery of an instrument at a specified date and price. Risk arises from
changes in the value of these contracts and the potential inability of
counterparties to perform under the terms of the contracts. There are numerous
factors which may significantly influence the market value of these contracts,
including interest rate volatility.
The market value of contracts is based on closing prices quoted by the
exchange, bank or clearing firm through which the contracts are traded.
MORGAN STANLEY CHARTER SERIES
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(continued)
The Partnerships' contracts are accounted for on a trade-date basis and
marked to market on a daily basis. Each Partnership accounts for its derivative
investments in accordance with the provisions of Statement of Financial
Accounting Standard No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging
Activities" ("SFAS No. 133"). SFAS No. 133 defines a derivative as a financial
instrument or other contract that has all three of the following
characteristics:
1) One or more underlying notional amounts or payment provisions;
2) Requires no initial net investment or a smaller initial net investment than
would be required relative to changes in market factors;
3) Terms require or permit net settlement.
Generally derivatives include futures, forward, swaps or options contracts, or
other financial instruments with similar characteristics such as caps, floors
and collars.
The net unrealized gains (losses) on open contracts at December 31, reported
as a component of "Equity in futures interests trading accounts" on the
statements of financial condition, and their longest contract maturities were

The Partnerships have credit risk associated with counterparty
nonperformance. The credit risk associated with the instruments in which the
Partnerships are involved is limited to the amounts reflected in the
Partnerships' statements of financial condition.
The Partnerships also have credit risk because Morgan Stanley DW, MS&Co. and
MSIL act as the futures commission merchants or the counterparties, with
respect to most of the Partnerships' assets. Exchange-traded futures and
futures-styled options contracts are marked to market on a daily basis, with
variations in value settled on a daily basis. Morgan Stanley DW, MS&Co. and
MSIL, each as a futures commission merchant for each Partnership's
exchange-traded futures and futures-styled options contracts, are required,
pursuant to regulations of the Commodity Futures Trading Commission, to
segregate from their own assets, and for the sole benefit of their commodity
MORGAN STANLEY CHARTER SERIES

customers, all funds held by them with respect to exchange-traded futures and
futures-styled options contracts, including an amount equal to the net
unrealized gains (losses) on all open futures and futures-styled options
contracts, which funds, in the aggregate, totaled $15,659,223 for Charter
Campbell at December 31, 2002, $73,921,843 and $42,535,750 for Charter MSFCM,
$111,564,112 and $46,265,281 for Charter Graham, $42,946,755 and $28,185,811
for Charter Millburn, and $13,612,650 and $17,452,742 for Charter Welton at
December 31, 2002 and 2001, respectively. With respect to each Partnership's
off-exchange-traded forward currency contracts, there are no daily settlements
of variations in value nor is there any requirement that an amount equal to the
net unrealized gains (losses) on open forward contracts be segregated. With
respect to those off-exchange-traded forward currency contracts, the
Partnerships are at risk to the ability of MS&Co., the sole counterparty on all
such contracts, to perform. Each Partnership has a netting agreement with
MS&Co. These agreements, which seek to reduce both the Partnerships' and
MS&Co.'s exposure on off-exchange-traded forward currency contracts, should
materially decrease the Partnerships' credit risk in the event of MS&Co.'s
bankruptcy or insolvency.
