<page> 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. Such assets are used as
margin to engage in trading and may be used as margin solely for
the Partnership?s 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. 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 daily limit for several
consecutive days with little or no <page> 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. For the periods covered by this
report, illiquidity has not materially affected the Partnership?s
assets.
There are no known material trends, demands, commitments, events,
or uncertainties at the present time that are reasonably likely to
result in the Partnership?s liquidity increasing or decreasing in
any material way.
Capital Resources. The Partnership does not have, nor expects to
have, any capital assets. Redemptions, exchanges, and sales of
Units in the future will affect the amount of funds available for
investments in futures, forwards, and options in subsequent
periods. It is not possible to estimate the amount, and therefore
the impact, of future inflows and outflows of Units.
<page> 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.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements and Contractual Obligations. The
Partnership does not have any off-balance sheet arrangements, nor
does it have contractual obligations or commercial commitments to
make future payments that would affect its liquidity or capital
resources.
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 in the futures, forwards, and options
markets. The following presents a summary of the Partnership's
operations for each of the three years in the period ended December
31, 2005 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 <page> behalf of the
Partnership during the period in question. Past performance is no
guarantee of future results.
The Partnership?s results of operations set forth in the Financial
Statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States of America, 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 trading profit (loss)?
for open (unrealized) contracts, and recorded as ?Realized trading
profit (loss)? when open positions are closed out. The sum of
these amounts constitutes the Partnership?s trading results. The
market value of a futures contract 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. Interest income, as
well as management fees, incentive fees, and brokerage fees
expenses of the Partnership are recorded on an accrual basis.
Demeter believes that, based on the nature of the operations of the
Partnership, no assumptions relating to the application of critical
accounting policies other than those presently used could
reasonably affect reported amounts.
<page>
The Partnership recorded total trading results including interest
income totaling $(42,632,520) and expenses totaling $35,578,575,
resulting in a net loss of $78,211,095 for the year ended December
31, 2005. The Partnership?s net asset value per Unit decreased
from $22.16 at December 31, 2004 to $18.60 at December 31, 2005.
Total redemptions and subscriptions for the year were $104,122,266
and $127,216,962, respectively, and the Partnership?s ending
capital was $421,321,479 at December 31, 2005, a decrease of
$55,116,399 from ending capital at December 31, 2004 of
$476,437,878.
The most significant trading losses of approximately 9.1% were
recorded in the global interest rate futures markets during
February from long positions in long-term U.S. and European
interest rate futures as prices declined in response to strong
global economic data and congressional testimony by U.S. Federal
Reserve Chairman Alan Greenspan, which supported Wall Street
expectations for additional interest rate hikes. In April,
further losses were recorded from short positions in U.S.
interest rate futures as prices reversed higher in a ?flight-to-
quality? amid weakness in equities. Finally, losses were
experienced throughout the third and fourth quarter from
positions in U.S. and European fixed-income futures as prices
moved without consistent direction amid conflicting economic
data, uncertainty regarding the future interest rate policy of
<page> the U.S. and the European Union, and volatility in energy
prices. Additional losses of approximately 6.5% were recorded in
the currency markets, primarily from positions in the euro
relative to the Japanese yen, the U.S. dollar, and the British
pound. During January, long positions in the euro versus most of
its rivals incurred losses as the value of the euro reversed
sharply lower in what many analysts described as a ?corrective?
move after its strong upward trend during the fourth quarter of
2004. This decline in the value of the euro was attributed to
weak economic data out of the European Union. Additional losses
were incurred during August from short positions in the euro
versus the U.S. dollar, British pound, and Japanese yen as the
value of the euro advanced against its major rivals in response
to strong signals of euro-zone economic improvement. In
December, short positions in the euro against the U.S. dollar
resulted in losses as the value of the euro increased on the
possibility that the European Central Bank could raise interest
rates in 2006. Elsewhere in the currency markets, losses
resulted from positions in the South African rand, New Zealand
dollar, and Australian dollar relative to the U.S dollar
primarily during January, as the value of the U.S. dollar moved
erratically amid speculation that U.S. interest rates were likely
to continue to rise and on fears that the re-evaluation of the
Chinese yuan was farther away than expected. Additional losses
were incurred during December from long positions in the New
Zealand dollar relative to the U.S. dollar as the value of the
<page> New Zealand dollar declined on weaker-than-expected
economic growth data and investor confidence that further
interest rate hikes from the Reserve Bank of New Zealand were
unlikely. Additional losses of approximately 1.2% were incurred
in the agricultural complex primarily during April from long
futures positions in wheat as prices fell in response to
favorable weather in growing regions, improved crop conditions,
and reduced foreign demand. Elsewhere in the agricultural
complex, losses were incurred from long positions in cotton
futures during May as prices declined on news of weak demand in
China. Smaller losses were experienced from positions in soybean
meal futures through a majority of the year. In the energy
markets, losses of approximately 0.2% were recorded during
January from short futures positions in crude oil as prices moved
higher amid speculation that OPEC would move to cut production
later in the month and on forecasts for cold winter weather in
the Northeastern U.S. In April, long futures positions in crude
oil incurred losses after prices reversed lower as U.S.
government data pointed to greater production activity by
refiners and rising supplies. Prices were also pressured lower
by the release of slower demand growth forecasts. Further losses
were experienced during June, September, October, and December
from both long and short positions in crude oil futures as prices
moved without consistent direction amid conflicting news
regarding supply and demand, as well as due to weather related
factors. A portion of the Partnership?s overall losses for the
<page> year was offset by gains of approximately 3.7% recorded in
the global stock index futures markets during February from long
positions in European and Japanese equity index futures as
prices moved higher early in the month amid the elections in Iraq
and lower-than-expected unemployment data out of the U.S. Equity
prices in Japan were also pressured higher when positive economic
data painted a brighter picture of the Far East Region?s economy.
In June, further gains were recorded from long positions in
European equity index futures as prices rallied on the perception
that weakness in the euro could stimulate the European economy.
Prices were also bolstered by strong economic data out of the
U.S. and news of a trade deal between the European Union and
China that would avoid tariffs and manage the growth of Chinese
textile imports to Europe through the end of 2008. During July,
long positions in European and Japanese equity index benefited as
prices increased on positive economic data out of the U.S. and
Japan. Prices continued to strengthen after China reformed its
U.S. dollar currency peg policy, leading market participants to
conclude that a re-valuation in the Chinese yuan would likely
ease trade tensions between China, the U.S, Europe, and Japan.
In September, long positions in Japanese stock index futures
experienced gains as prices moved sharply higher on positive
comments from Bank of Japan Governor Toshihiko Fukui, who said
the Japanese economy was in the process of emerging from a soft
patch as demonstrated by rising production, improving business
sentiment, and a sustained upturn in consumer spending.
<page> Additional gains resulted from long positions in European
stock index futures amid declining oil prices and as investors
embraced signs that the global economy could move forward despite
Hurricane Katrina's devastation of the U.S. Gulf Coast. Finally,
long positions in Japanese and European stock index futures
experienced gains in December as prices increased due to a
decline in energy prices and anticipation that a strong holiday
shopping season would improve the retail sectors of the European
and Japanese economies. Further affecting the value of Japanese
equity prices was strong investor optimism that the Japanese
economy will continue to improve in 2006. Within European stock
indices, prices were pressured higher on possibility of an end to
U.S. interest rate increases. Within the metals markets, gains
of approximately 0.7% were recorded from long futures positions
in copper and zinc as prices trended higher throughout a majority
of the year on persistent demand from China.
The Partnership recorded total trading results including interest
income totaling $46,935,381 and expenses totaling $34,483,896,
resulting in net income of $12,451,485 for the year ended December
31, 2004. The Partnership?s net asset value per Unit increased from
$21.88 at December 31, 2003 to $22.16 at December 31, 2004. Total
redemptions and subscriptions for the year were $28,256,679 and
$221,533,280, respectively, and the Partnership?s ending capital
was $476,437,878 at December 31, 2004, an increase of <page>
$205,728,086 from ending capital at December 31, 2003 of
$270,709,792.
The most significant trading gains of approximately 5.4% were
recorded in the energy markets. During much of the year, long
positions in crude oil and its related products behaved well as
prices trended higher due to consistent news of tight supply,
continuing geopolitical concerns in the Middle East, concerns
that top Russian oil producer, Yukos, may break up or stop
selling oil, major production disruptions in the Gulf of Mexico,
growing civil unrest in Nigeria, and the threat of a national
strike in Norway. Additional gains of approximately 4.8% were
experienced in the global interest rate futures markets from long
positions in European interest rate futures during February,
March, August, and September as prices rallied on uncertainty in
the global equity markets, disappointing economic data, safe-
haven buying amid major geopolitical concerns, and a surge in oil
prices. Further gains from long positions in European interest
rates were recorded in the fourth quarter as prices continued to
trend higher for the aforementioned reasons, in addition to the
rise in the value of the euro, which created strong demand for
euro-denominated investments. Gains of approximately 1.7% were
experienced in the agricultural markets during January, March,
and June from long positions in corn futures as prices increased
on news of strong demand from Asia. Further gains were
experienced during July and August from short positions in corn
<page> futures as prices weakened due to ideal weather conditions
in the growing regions of the U.S. Midwest, reports of increased
inventories, and weaker export demand. Elsewhere in this
complex, gains were recorded from short positions in cotton
futures, primarily during March, April, June, and July, as prices
trended lower amid rising supplies and news of a consistent
decline in demand from China. Additional gains of approximately
0.3% were experienced in the currency markets during January,
February, September, October, and November from long positions in
the New Zealand dollar, Canadian dollar, and Australian dollar
(collectively, the ?Commodity Currencies?) versus the U.S. dollar
as their value strengthened due to higher gold prices and
interest rate hikes by the Reserve Bank of New Zealand and the
Bank of Canada. The widening U.S. Current-Account deficit,
concerns for potential terrorist attacks, and rising oil prices
also pulled the value of the U.S. dollar lower versus these
currencies, as well as versus the euro throughout much of the
year, resulting in further gains. Elsewhere in the currency
markets, gains were experienced during January and February from
short positions in the Swiss franc relative to the U.S. dollar as
the value of the franc moved lower due to conflicting economic
data out of Switzerland. Long positions in the Swiss franc
relative to the U.S. dollar resulted in additional gains in
November as the value of the U.S. dollar declined when investors
concluded that the Bush Administration was unlikely to intervene
in the currency markets to strengthen the U.S. dollar. Gains of
<page> approximately 0.3% were generated in the metals markets,
primarily during the first and fourth quarter, from long futures
positions in copper and aluminum as prices trended higher in
response to greater demand from Asia driven by a declining U.S.
dollar. A portion of the Partnership?s overall gains for the
year was offset by losses of approximately 1.7% in the global
stock index futures markets during March, May, July, August, and
September from positions in European equity index futures as
prices moved without consistent direction due to conflicting
economic data, volatility in energy prices, and significant
geopolitical concerns. Additional losses were incurred from
positions in U.S. equity index futures, particularly the Russell
2000 Index, as prices moved in a trendless pattern for the
aforementioned reasons.
The Partnership recorded total trading results including interest
income totaling $47,428,993 and expenses totaling $20,183,755,
resulting in net income of $27,245,238 for the year ended December
31, 2003. The Partnership's net asset value per Unit increased
from $18.84 at December 31, 2002 to $21.88 at December 31, 2003.
Total redemptions and subscriptions for the year were $17,908,245
and $144,976,579, respectively, and the Partnership's ending
capital was $270,709,792 at December 31, 2003, an increase of
$154,313,572 from ending capital at December 31, 2002 of
$116,396,220.
<page> The most significant trading gains of approximately 17.0%
in the currency markets were produced from long positions in the
South African rand and Commodity Currencies versus the U.S.
dollar during a majority of the year as their value increased
sharply versus the U.S. dollar on the heels of higher commodity
prices and a significant interest rate differential between these
countries and the U.S. Additional gains resulted from long
positions in the euro, Japanese yen, and Swiss franc versus the
U.S. dollar as the value of the U.S. dollar declined throughout
much of the year due to geopolitical uncertainty and negative
economic data. Additional gains were recorded from long cross-
rate positions in the euro versus the British pound and Japanese
yen. In the global stock index futures markets, gains of
approximately 13.9% were experienced from long positions in U.S.,
Pacific Rim, and European stock index futures as global equity
prices moved higher during the latter half of the year due to
continued optimism regarding a global economic recovery.
Additional gains of approximately 3.2% were recorded in the
metals markets primarily during the fourth quarter from long
positions in copper, nickel, and zinc as base metal prices
rallied in response to growing investor sentiment that the global
economy was on the path to recovery and amid increased demand,
especially from China. Smaller gains of approximately 1.2% were
recorded in the energy markets, primarily during January and
February, from long positions in natural gas futures as prices
jumped sharply higher amid fears that extremely cold weather in
<page> the U.S. Northeast and Midwest could further deplete
already diminished supplies. Additional gains were recorded from
long positions in crude oil futures as prices continued to trend
higher during those months amid the increasing likelihood of
military action against Iraq. A portion of the Partnership?s
overall gains for the year was offset by losses of approximately
5.0% in the global interest rate markets primarily during the
third quarter from positions in U.S., European, and Japanese
interest rate futures as prices first declined during July amid
rising interest rates and a rally in global equities. Prices
then reversed higher during August and September as renewed fears
for an unsustainable economic recovery resurfaced. Smaller
losses of approximately 1.2% were recorded in the agricultural
markets from short positions in wheat and corn futures during
early May as prices moved higher amid concerns of weather related
crop damage in the U.S. Midwest.

and a further description of 2005 trading results, refer to the
Partnership?s Annual Report to Limited Partners for the year ended
December 31, 2005, 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.
<page>
Market 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 contracts, options on futures
contracts, and forward contracts on physical commodities and other
commodity interests, including, but not limited to, foreign
currencies, financial instruments, metals, energy, and agricultural
products. 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 was unable to offset
positions of the Partnership, the Partnership could lose all of its
assets and the limited partners would realize a 100% loss.
In addition to the Trading Advisor's internal controls, the Trading
Advisor must comply with the Partnership?s trading policies that
include standards for liquidity and leverage that must be
maintained. The Trading Advisor and Demeter monitor the
Partnership's trading activities to ensure compliance with the
trading policies and Demeter can require the Trading Advisor to
modify positions of the Partnership if Demeter believes they
violate the Partnership's trading policies.
<page>
Credit Risk.
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, forward, and options
contracts traded in the United States and most 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. 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. In cases where the
Partnership trades off-exchange forward contracts with a
counterparty, the sole recourse of the Partnership will be the
forward contract?s counterparty.
Demeter deals with these credit risks of the Partnership in
several ways. First, Demeter monitors the Partnership?s credit
<page> exposure to each exchange on a daily basis. The commodity
brokers inform the Partnership, as with all their customers, of
the Partnership?s net margin requirements for all its existing
open positions, and Demeter has installed a system which permits
it to monitor the Partnership?s potential net credit exposure,
exchange by exchange, by adding the unrealized trading gains on
each 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 a minimum amount of diversification in the
Partnership?s trading, usually over several different products and
exchanges. Historically, the Partnership?s exposure to any one
exchange has typically amounted to only a small percentage of its
total Net Assets and on those relatively few occasions where the
Partnership?s credit exposure climbs 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.
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 <page>
Partnership presently deals with MS & Co. as the sole counterparty
on forward contracts.
For additional information, see the ?Financial Instruments?
section under ?Notes to Financial Statements? in the
Partnership?s Annual Report to Limited Partners for the year
ended December 31, 2005, 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 inherent to the primary business
activity of the Partnership.
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 <page>
interest rates, exchange rates, and prices of financial instruments
and commodities, factors that result in frequent changes in the
fair value of the Partnership?s open positions, and consequently in
its earnings, whether realized or unrealized, and cash flow. Gains
and losses on open positions of exchange-traded futures, forwards,
and options are settled daily through variation margin. Gains and
losses on off-exchange-traded forward currency contracts are
settled upon termination of the contract, however, the Partnership
is required to meet margin requirements equal to the net unrealized
loss on open contracts in the Partnership accounts with the
counterparty, which is accomplished by daily maintenance of the
cash balance in a custody account held at Morgan Stanley DW for the
benefit of MS & Co.
The Partnership?s total market risk may increase or decrease as
it is influenced by a wide variety of factors, including, but not
limited to, the diversification among the Partnership?s open
positions, the volatility present within the markets, and the
liquidity of the markets.
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
<page> Partnership to typically be many times the total
capitalization of the Partnership.
The Partnership?s past performance is no guarantee 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 and use of leverage
may cause future losses and volatility (i.e., ?risk of ruin?) that
far exceed the Partnership?s experiences to date under the
?Partnership?s Value at Risk in Different Market Sectors? section
and significantly exceed the Value at Risk (?VaR?) tables
disclosed.
Limited partners will not be liable for losses exceeding the
current net asset value of their investment.
Quantifying the Partnership?s Trading Value at Risk
The following quantitative disclosures regarding the Partner-
ship?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.
<page> 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 and cash flow.
The Partnership?s risk exposure in the market sectors traded by the
Trading Advisor is estimated below in terms of VaR. The Partnership
estimates VaR using a model based upon historical simulation (with
a confidence level of 99%) which involves constructing a
distribution of hypothetical daily changes in the value of a
trading portfolio. The VaR model takes into account linear
exposures to risks including 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 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, or one day in 100. VaR typically does
not represent the worst case outcome. Demeter uses approximately
four years of daily market data (1,000 observations) and re-values
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 <page> VaR is the appropriate percentile of
this distribution. For 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 do not distinguish between exchange and non-exchange
dealer-based instruments. They are also not based on exchange
and/or dealer-based maintenance 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, 2005 and 2004.
At December 31, 2005 and 2004, the Partnership?s total
capitalization was approximately $421 million and $476 million,
respectively.
<page>
Primary Market December 31, 2005 December 31, 2004
Risk Category Value at Risk Value at Risk
Equity (2.37)% (5.24)%
Currency (0.96) (1.91)
Interest Rate (0.41) (1.80)
Commodity (0.05) (0.57)
Aggregate Value at Risk (3.06)% (4.94)%
The VaR for a market category represents the one-day downside risk
for the aggregate exposures associated with this market category.
The Aggregate Value at Risk listed above represents the VaR of the
Partnership?s open positions across all the market categories, and
is less than the sum of the VaRs for all such market categories due
to the diversification benefit across asset classes.
Because the business of the Partnership 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 trading day, which could
positively or negatively materially impact market risk as
measured by VaR.
The table below supplements the December 31, 2005 VaR set forth
above by presenting the Partnership?s high, low, and average VaR,
as a percentage of total Net Assets for the four quarter-end
reporting periods from January 1, 2005 through December 31, 2005.
<page>
Primary Market Risk Category High Low Average
Equity (4.27)% (2.35)% (3.18)%
Currency (3.57) (0.45) (1.49)
Interest Rate (5.24) (0.09) (1.71)
Commodity (1.38) (0.05) (0.57)
Aggregate Value at Risk (5.39)% (2.83)% (4.16)%
Limitations on Value at Risk as an Assessment of Market Risk
VaR models permit estimation of a portfolio?s aggregate market risk
exposure, incorporating a range of varied market risks; reflect
risk reduction due to portfolio diversification or hedging
activities; and can cover a wide range of portfolio assets.
However, VaR risk measures should be viewed in light of the
methodology?s limitations, which include, but may not be limited to
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 market fluctuations applied to
current trading positions while future risk depends on future
positions;
<page>
* 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.
In addition, the VaR tables above, as well as the past
performance of the Partnership, give no indication of the
Partnership?s potential ?risk of ruin?.
The VaR tables provided present the results of the Partnership?s
VaR for each of the Partnership?s market risk exposures and on an
aggregate basis at December 31, 2004, and for the four quarter-
end reporting periods during calendar year 2005. VaR is not
necessarily representative of the Partnership?s historic risk,
nor should it be used to predict 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
<page> The Partnership has non-trading market risk on its foreign
cash balances. These balances and any market risk they may
represent are immaterial.
The Partnership also maintains a substantial portion of its
available assets in cash at Morgan Stanley DW; as of December 31,
2005, such amount is equal to approximately 93% of the
Partnership?s net asset value. A decline in short-term interest
rates would 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-
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.
<page> 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 expropriations, 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.
The following were the primary trading risk exposures of the
Partnership at December 31, 2005, by market sector. It may be
anticipated, however, that these market exposures will vary
materially over time.
Equity. The largest market exposure of the Partnership at
December 31, 2005 was to the global stock index sector, primarily
to equity price risk in the G-7 countries. The G-7 countries
consist of France, the U.S., Britain, Germany, Japan, Italy, and
Canada. The stock index futures traded by the Partnership are by
law limited to futures on broadly-based indices. At December 31,
<page> 2005, the Partnership?s primary market exposures were to
the CAC 40 (France), DAX (Germany), Euro Stoxx 50 (Europe),
NASDAQ 100 (U.S.), S&P 500 (U.S.), IBEX 35 (Spain), FTSE 100
(United Kingdom), NIKKEI 225 (Japan), Dow Jones (U.S.), TOPIX
(Japan), Hang Seng (China), and RUSSELL 2000 (U.S.) stock
indices. The Partnership is typically exposed to the risk of
adverse price trends or static markets in the European, U.S.,
Chinese, and Japanese stock indices. Static markets would not
cause major market changes, but would make it difficult for the
Partnership to avoid trendless price movements, resulting in
numerous small losses.
Currency. The second largest market exposure of the Partnership
at December 31, 2005 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 number of currencies, including cross-rates - i.e., positions
between two currencies other than the U.S. dollar. At December
31, 2005, the Partnership?s major exposures were to the euro,
Canadian dollar, Australian dollar, Japanese yen, Swiss franc,
and British pound currency crosses, as well as to outright U.S.
dollar positions. Outright positions consist of the U.S. dollar
vs. other currencies. These other currencies include major and
<page> minor currencies. Demeter does not anticipate that the
risk associated with the Partnership?s currency trades will
change significantly in the future.
Interest Rate. At December 31, 2005, the Partnership had
exposure to the global interest rate sector. Exposure was
primarily spread across the European, U.S., Australian, 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 interest rate exposure is generally to interest
rate fluctuations in the U.S. and the other G-7 countries.
However, the Partnership also takes futures positions in the
government debt of smaller nations - e.g., Australia. Demeter
anticipates that the G-7 countries and Australian interest rates
will remain the primary interest rate exposures 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.
<page>
Commodity.
Soft Commodities and Agriculturals. At December 31, 2005,
the third largest market exposure of the Partnership was to
the markets that comprise these sectors. Most of the
exposure was to the cotton, coffee, sugar, cocoa, corn,
soybean meal, lean hogs, and wheat markets. Supply and
demand inequalities, severe weather disruptions, and market
expectations affect price movements in these markets.
Metals. At December 31, 2005, the Partnership had market
exposure in the metals sector. The Partnership?s metals
exposure was to fluctuations in the price of base metals,
such as copper, aluminum, nickel, and zinc. Economic
forces, supply and demand inequalities, geopolitical factors
and market expectations influence price movements in these
markets. The Trading Advisor utilizes trading system(s) to
take positions when market opportunities develop, and
Demeter anticipates that the Partnership will continue to do
so.
Energy. At December 31, 2005, the Partnership had market
exposure to the energy sector. 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 geopolitical <page>
developments, particularly in the Middle East, as well as
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.
Qualitative Disclosures Regarding Non-Trading Risk Exposure
The following was the only non-trading risk exposure of the
Partnership at December 31, 2005:
Foreign Currency Balances. The Partnership?s primary foreign
currency balances at December 31, 2005 were in euros,
Australian dollars, Canadian dollars, British pounds,
Japanese yen, Hong Kong dollars, Swiss francs, and Swedish
kronor. The Partnership controls the non-trading risk of
foreign currency balances by regularly converting them back
into U.S. dollars upon liquidation of their respective
positions.
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 by
<page> 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.

Item 9A. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
(a) As of the end of the period covered by this annual report, the
President and Chief Financial Officer of Demeter, the <page>
general partner of the Partnership, have evaluated the
effectiveness of the Partnership?s disclosure controls and
procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the
Exchange Act), and have judged such controls and procedures to
be effective.
(b) There have been no material changes during the period covered
by this annual report in the Partnership?s internal control
over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and
15d-15(f) of the Exchange Act) or in other factors that could
significantly affect these controls subsequent to the date of
their evaluation.
Management?s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
Demeter is responsible for the management of the Partnership.
Management of Demeter (?Management?) is responsible for
establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over
financial reporting. The internal control over financial reporting
is designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the
reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of Financial
Statements for external purposes in accordance with generally
accepted accounting principles.
The Partnership?s internal control over financial reporting
includes those policies and procedures that:
<page>
* Pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable
detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and
dispositions of the assets of the Partnership;
* Provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as
necessary to permit preparation of Financial Statements in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and
that the Partnership?s transactions are being made only in
accordance with authorizations of Management and directors;
and
* Provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely
detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of
the Partnership?s assets that could have a material effect on
the Financial Statements.
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over
financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements.
Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future
periods are subject to the risk that controls may become
inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree
of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
Management assessed the effectiveness of the Partnership?s
internal control over financial reporting as of December 31,
2005. In making this assessment, Management used the criteria
<page> set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of
the Treadway Commission in Internal Control-Integrated Framework.
Based on our assessment and those criteria, Management believes
that the Partnership maintained effective internal control over
financial reporting as of December 31, 2005.
Deloitte & Touche LLP, the Partnership?s independent registered
public accounting firm, has issued an attestation report on
Management?s assessment of the Partnership?s internal control over
financial reporting and on the effectiveness of the Partnership?s
internal control over financial reporting. This report, which
expresses an unqualified opinion on Management?s assessment and on
the effectiveness of the Partnership?s internal control over
financial reporting, appears under ?Report of Independent
Registered Public Accounting Firm? in the Partnership?s Annual
Report to Limited Partners for the year ended December 31, 2005.

FACTORS INFLUENCING ANNUAL TRADING GAINS:
.. In the global interest rate futures markets, gains were recorded during
January from long positions in European bond futures as prices moved higher
due to conflicting economic data out of the European Union and uncertainty
in the equity markets. Further gains were recorded in March and April from
long positions in European interest rate futures as prices strengthened due
to weakness in the equity markets. During May, gains were recorded from long
positions in European interest rate futures as prices increased early in the
month as investors sought the safe-haven of fixed-income investments due to
speculation that certain hedge funds may have experienced significant
losses. Prices then continued to strengthen after European Central Bank
representatives rejected calls for increases in European interest rates and
French voters rejected the European Union constitution. During June, gains
were recorded from long positions in European interest rate futures as
prices trended higher due to European Central Bank officials' decision to
keep key interest rates unchanged and the release of weak economic data.
Later in June, long positions in European interest rate futures experienced
further gains as prices continued to move higher after the Swedish Central
Bank made a sharper cut in interest rates than had been expected.
MORGAN STANLEY CHARTER CAMPBELL L.P.
FACTORS INFLUENCING ANNUAL TRADING GAINS: (continued)
.. In the currency markets, gains were experienced during March from short
positions in the Japanese yen against the U.S. dollar as the value of the
yen declined due to investor pessimism regarding the long-term future of the
Japanese economy. Additional gains were experienced during May and June from
short positions in the euro and Japanese yen relative to the U.S. dollar as
the value of the U.S. dollar moved steadily higher after China downplayed
rumors of a move toward a flexible exchange rate, the rejection of the
European Constitution by French voters, data indicating a slowing in the
euro-zone and Japanese economies, and the ninth consecutive quarter-point
interest rate hike by the U.S. Federal Reserve. In July, gains were recorded
from long U.S. dollar positions against the Japanese yen as the value of the
U.S. dollar continued to move higher on news that the U.S. Current-Account
deficit had narrowed. In September, additional gains were recorded from long
U.S. dollar positions relative to the Japanese yen and the euro as the value
of the U.S. dollar moved higher amid bolstered expectations that the U.S.
Federal Reserve would most likely continue to raise interest rates. In
addition, the value of the euro was pulled lower after the release of lower
2005 and 2006 growth estimates for the European economy and news that
Germany's incumbent Chancellor, Gerhard Schroeder, refused to concede defeat
to the opposition leader, Angela Merkel, in the days after the election.
During the fourth quarter, long U.S. dollar positions relative to the
Japanese yen and the euro recorded additional gains as the value of the U.S.
dollar trended higher due to significant interest rate differentials between
the U.S., Japan, and the European Union.
.. In the energy markets, gains were recorded from long positions in crude oil
and its related products as prices trended higher during January, February,
and March amid news of increased demand from China, fears of terror attacks
against production facilities in the Middle East, cold weather in the
Northeastern U.S., and predictions from analysts at Goldman Sachs that oil
prices could reach $105 a barrel. Further gains were recorded during June
from long positions as prices moved higher amid concerns that production
facilities in Gulf of Mexico would be affected by a tropical storm and news
of weak supply. Additional gains in the energy markets were recorded during
August from long positions in crude oil, its related products, and natural
gas futures as prices climbed higher throughout the month on supply and
demand concerns. After Hurricane Katrina struck the Gulf of Mexico, prices
advanced further to touch record highs. Finally, in December, long positions
in crude oil resulted in gains as prices finished higher after news of a
rebound in energy demand.
.. Within the metals markets, gains were experienced throughout a majority the
year from long positions in copper futures as prices trended higher amid
persistent demand from China.
MORGAN STANLEY CHARTER CAMPBELL L.P.
FACTORS INFLUENCING ANNUAL TRADING LOSSES:
.. Within the global stock index futures markets, losses were recorded during
January from long positions in U.S. equity index futures as prices finished
lower amid weak consumer confidence data, concerns regarding U.S. interest
rate policy and the potential for corporate profit growth to slow down.
Further losses were experienced during March from long positions in U.S.
equity index futures after prices moved lower early in the month amid
concerns about the growing U.S. trade deficit, a weaker U.S. dollar,
inflation fears, and a surge in crude oil prices. In April, long positions
in U.S. stock index futures experienced losses as prices declined sharply
towards the beginning of the month on concerns for economic growth.
Weaker-than-expected U.S. Gross Domestic Product data, resulted in prices
continuing their decline throughout the second half of April. Further losses
in the global stock index futures markets were experienced in June from
short positions in U.S. equity index futures as prices increased early in
the month on optimism regarding the future of the U.S. economy. Newly
established long positions in U.S. equity index futures resulted in
additional losses as prices declined towards the end of the month on
investor worries regarding high oil prices. Finally in October, losses were
recorded from long positions in U.S. stock index futures as prices declined
amid negative market sentiment, economic uncertainties due to the
devastating effects of Hurricanes Katrina and Rita, and persistent warnings
on U.S. inflation by the U.S. Federal Reserve.

FACTORS INFLUENCING ANNUAL TRADING LOSSES:
.. In the currency markets, losses were recorded from positions in the euro
relative to the British pound and the U.S. dollar. During January, long
positions in the euro versus the British pound and the U.S. dollar incurred
losses as the value of the euro reversed sharply lower in what many analysts
described as a "corrective" move after its strong upward trend during the
fourth quarter of 2004. This decline in the value of the euro was attributed
to weak economic data out of the European Union and a rebound in the value
of its main rival, the U.S. dollar. Additional losses were recorded during
February and March from both long and short positions in the euro against
these currencies as the value of the euro moved without consistent direction
amid conflicting economic data out of Germany. Elsewhere in the currency
markets, losses resulted from positions in the Singapore dollar, Swedish
krona, South African rand, and Swiss franc relative to the U.S dollar,
primarily during February and March. During August, further losses were
incurred from long U.S. dollar positions against the euro, Swedish krona,
and Swiss franc as the value of the U.S. dollar declined amid higher crude
oil prices, lower durable goods orders data, the U.S. trade imbalance, and
economic warnings from U.S. Federal Reserve Chairman Alan Greenspan. Smaller
losses in August were experienced from long positions in the euro versus the
British pound cross-rate as the value of the pound reversed higher against
the euro. During September, losses were incurred from short U.S. dollar
positions against the euro, Swiss franc, and Swedish krona as the value of
the U.S. dollar increased on expectations that the U.S. Federal Reserve
would most likely continue to raise interest rates.
MORGAN STANLEY CHARTER MSFCM L.P.
FACTORS INFLUENCING ANNUAL TRADING LOSSES: (continued)
.. Additional losses were recorded in the global interest rate futures markets
during March from short European interest rate futures positions as prices
reversed higher amid strength in the euro towards the beginning of the month
as investors feared that continued strength in the currency could restrict
foreign exports. Prices were also pushed higher on the expectations that
Europe would continue to maintain a low interest rate environment. Further
losses were experienced during February from long positions in long-term
U.S. interest rate futures as prices declined in response to strong global
economic data and congressional testimony by U.S. Federal Reserve Chairman
Alan Greenspan, which supported Wall Street expectations for additional
interest rate hikes. During the third quarter, losses were recorded from
both long and short positions in U.S., Australian, and European fixed-income
futures as prices moved without consistent direction amid conflicting
economic data, uncertainty regarding the future interest rate policy of the
U.S. and the European Union, and volatility in energy prices.
FACTORS INFLUENCING ANNUAL TRADING GAINS:
.. In the global stock index futures markets, gains were experienced during
May, June, July, September, and November from long positions in European
equity index futures as prices moved higher on strength in the technology
sector, strong corporate earnings, and weakness in the euro. Elsewhere in
global equity indices, gains were recorded during the fourth quarter from
long positions in Japanese stock index futures as prices moved higher on a
reduction in energy prices and general investor optimism about the future of
the Japanese economy.
.. Additional gains were experienced in the energy markets during August from
long futures positions in natural gas as prices climbed higher after
Hurricane Katrina struck the U.S. Gulf Coast. Additional gains were
experienced during September from long positions in natural gas as prices
continued to strengthen in response to concern for the long-term effects on
supplies in the Gulf of Mexico after Hurricane Katrina. Also pushing prices
higher was anticipation of strong demand in the winter months and fears for
the approach of Hurricane Rita and the additional damage it could have
caused to output in the Gulf of Mexico.
.. Within the metals markets, gains were recorded during February, March, May,
October, November, and December from long positions in copper, nickel,
aluminum, and zinc futures as prices strengthened amid persistent demand
from China.
.. Within the agricultural complex, gains were recorded during the fourth
quarter from long positions in sugar futures as prices trended higher
throughout the quarter in response to the European Union's refusal to amend
its less-than-expected price reduction of sugar, favorable weather in global
growing regions, and news that Brazil intended to use the majority of its
sugar crop to produce ethanol.

FACTORS INFLUENCING ANNUAL TRADING LOSSES:
.. In the global interest rate futures markets, losses were incurred during
February from long positions in long-term U.S. and European interest rate
futures as prices declined in response to strong global economic data and
congressional testimony by U.S. Federal Reserve Chairman Alan Greenspan,
which supported Wall Street expectations for additional interest rate hikes.
In April, further losses were recorded from short positions in U.S. interest
rate futures as prices reversed higher in a "flight-to-quality" amid
weakness in equities. Finally, losses were experienced throughout the third
and fourth quarter from positions in U.S. and European fixed-income futures
as prices moved without consistent direction amid conflicting economic data,
uncertainty regarding the future interest rate policy of the U.S. and the
European Union, and volatility in energy prices.
MORGAN STANLEY CHARTER GRAHAM L.P.
FACTORS INFLUENCING ANNUAL TRADING LOSSES: (continued)
.. Additional losses were recorded in the currency markets, primarily from
positions in the euro relative to the Japanese yen, the U.S. dollar, and the
British pound. During January, long positions in the euro versus most of its
rivals incurred losses as the value of the euro reversed sharply lower in
what many analysts described as a "corrective" move after its strong upward
trend during the fourth quarter of 2004. This decline in the value of the
euro was attributed to weak economic data out of the European Union.
Additional losses were incurred during August from short positions in the
euro versus the U.S. dollar, British pound, and Japanese yen as the value of
the euro advanced against its major rivals in response to strong signals of
euro-zone economic improvement. In December, short positions in the euro
against the U.S. dollar resulted in losses as the value of the euro
increased on the possibility that the European Central Bank could raise
interest rates in 2006. Elsewhere in the currency markets, losses resulted
from positions in the South African rand, New Zealand dollar, and Australian
dollar relative to the U.S dollar primarily during January, as the value of
the U.S. dollar moved erratically amid speculation that U.S. interest rates
were likely to continue to rise and on fears that the re-evaluation of the
Chinese yuan was farther away than expected. Additional losses were incurred
during December from long positions in the New Zealand dollar relative to
the U.S. dollar as the value of the New Zealand dollar declined on
weaker-than-expected economic growth data and investor confidence that
further interest rate hikes from the Reserve Bank of New Zealand were
unlikely.
.. In the agricultural complex, losses were recorded primarily during April
from long futures positions in wheat as prices fell in response to favorable
weather in growing regions, improved crop conditions, and reduced foreign
demand. Elsewhere in the agriculturals complex, losses were incurred from
long positions in cotton futures during May as prices declined on news of
weak demand in China. Smaller losses were experienced from positions in
soybean meal futures through a majority of the year.
.. In the energy markets, losses were recorded during January from short
futures positions in crude oil as prices moved higher amid speculation that
OPEC would move to cut production later in the month and on forecasts for
cold winter weather in the Northeastern U.S. In April, long futures
positions in crude oil incurred losses after prices reversed lower as U.S.
government data pointed to greater production activity by refiners and
rising supplies. Prices were also pressured lower by the release of slower
demand growth forecasts. Further losses were experienced during June,
September, October, and December from both long and short positions in crude
oil futures as prices moved without consistent direction amid conflicting
news regarding supply and demand, as well as due to weather related factors.
MORGAN STANLEY CHARTER GRAHAM L.P.
FACTORS INFLUENCING ANNUAL TRADING GAINS:
.. In the global stock index futures markets, gains were recorded during
February from long positions in European and Japanese equity index futures
as prices moved higher early in the month amid the elections in Iraq and
lower-than-expected unemployment data out of the U.S. Equity prices in Japan
were also pressured higher when positive economic data painted a brighter
picture of the Far East Region's economy. In June, further gains were
recorded from long positions in European equity index futures as prices
rallied on the perception that weakness in the euro could stimulate the
European economy. Prices were also bolstered by strong economic data out of
the U.S. and news of a trade deal between the European Union and China that
would avoid tariffs and manage the growth of Chinese textile imports to
Europe through the end of 2008. During July, long positions in European and
Japanese equity index benefited as prices increased on positive economic
data out of the U.S. and Japan. Prices continued to strengthen after China
reformed its U.S. dollar currency peg policy, leading market participants to
conclude that a re-valuation in the Chinese yuan would likely ease trade
tensions between China, the U.S., Europe, and Japan. In September, long
positions in Japanese stock index futures experienced gains as prices moved
sharply higher on positive comments from Bank of Japan Governor Toshihiko
Fukui, who said the Japanese economy was in the process of emerging from a
soft patch as demonstrated by rising production, improving business
sentiment, and a sustained upturn in consumer spending. Additional gains
resulted from long positions in European stock index futures amid declining
oil prices and as investors embraced signs that the global economy could
move forward despite Hurricane Katrina's devastation of the U.S. Gulf Coast.
Finally, long positions in Japanese and European stock index futures
experienced gains in December as prices increased due to a decline in energy
prices and anticipation that a strong holiday shopping season would improve
the retail sectors of the European and Japanese economies. Further affecting
the value of Japanese equity prices was strong investor optimism that the
Japanese economy will continue to improve in 2006. Within European stock
indices, prices were pressured higher on possibility of an end to U.S.
interest rate increases.
.. Within the metals markets, gains were recorded from long futures positions
in copper and zinc as prices trended higher throughout a majority of the
year on persistent demand from China.

FACTORS INFLUENCING ANNUAL TRADING GAINS:
.. Gains were experienced in the global stock index futures markets during
February from long positions in Pacific Rim and European equity index
futures as equity prices moved higher early in the month amid the elections
in Iraq and lower-than-expected unemployment data out of the U.S. Pacific
Rim equity index futures prices were also pushed higher when positive
economic data painted a brighter picture of the Far East Region's economy.
Further gains were recorded from long positions in European and South
African equity index futures during May and June as prices finished higher
amid weakness in the euro and the South African rand. During July and
September, gains resulted from long positions in Pacific Rim and European
equity index futures. In July, long positions in Pacific Rim and European
stock index futures benefited as prices increased on positive economic data
out of the U.S. and Japan. Prices continued to strengthen after China
reformed its U.S. dollar currency peg policy. Strong corporate earnings out
of the European Union and the U.S. resulted in optimistic investor sentiment
and also pushed prices higher. During September, long positions in Japanese
stock index futures experienced gains as prices moved sharply higher on
positive comments from Bank of Japan Governor Toshihiko Fukui, who said the
Japanese economy was in the process of emerging from a soft patch.
Additional gains resulted from long positions in European stock index
futures as prices rose amid declining oil prices and as investors embraced
signs that the global economy could move forward despite Hurricane Katrina's
devastation of the U.S. Gulf Coast. Elsewhere in the global stock index
futures markets, gains were experienced during July, September, November,
and December from long positions in South African equity index futures as
prices moved higher on continued strength in gold prices and optimism that
the business climate in South Africa would continue to improve.
MORGAN STANLEY CHARTER MILLBURN L.P.
FACTORS INFLUENCING ANNUAL TRADING GAINS: (continued)
.. In the metals markets, gains were recorded from long futures positions in
copper and zinc as prices trended higher throughout the year amid persistent
demand from China. Additional gains were recorded, primarily during
February, September, October, November, and December, from long positions in
gold futures as prices moved higher amid investors' concern for rising
inflation and energy prices.
.. Within the global interest rate futures markets, gains were experienced
during January and March from long positions in European bond futures as
prices trended higher amid a steady stream of weak economic data from the
major countries of the European Union. In May, further gains were recorded
from long positions in European interest rate futures as prices increased
early in the month as investors sought the safe-haven of fixed-income
investments due to speculation that certain hedge funds may have experienced
significant losses. Prices then continued to strengthen after European
Central Bank representatives publicly rejected calls for increases in
European interest rates and after French voters rejected the European Union
constitution. During June, additional gains were recorded from long
positions in European interest rate futures as prices trended higher
throughout the month due to European Central Bank officials' decision to
keep key interest rates unchanged.
.. Within the energy markets, gains were recorded during February and March
from long futures positions in crude oil and its related products as prices
trended higher amid news of increased demand from China, fears of terror
attacks against production facilities in the Middle East, cold weather in
the Northeastern U.S., and predictions from analysts at Goldman Sachs that
oil prices could reach $105 a barrel. In June, gains were recorded from long
positions as prices moved higher amid concerns that production facilities in
the Gulf of Mexico would be affected by a tropical storm and news of weak
supply. During July, additional gains were recorded from long positions in
crude oil and unleaded gasoline futures as prices surged during the first
week of the month on possible supply disruptions from Hurricane Dennis.
Prices continued to move higher towards the end of July after news of
several refinery fires in Texas and Louisiana, declining U.S. inventories
and passage by the U.S. Congress of President Bush's energy bill. Finally,
in August further gains were recorded from long futures positions in crude
oil, its related products and natural gas as prices climbed higher
throughout the month on supply and demand concerns. After Hurricane Katrina
struck the Gulf of Mexico, prices advanced further to touch record highs.
MORGAN STANLEY CHARTER MILLBURN L.P.
FACTORS INFLUENCING ANNUAL TRADING LOSSES:
.. In the currency markets, losses were recorded primarily during January, from
short U.S. dollar positions relative to the euro, South African rand,
Japanese yen, Swiss franc, and Czech koruna as the value of the U.S. dollar
reversed sharply higher in what many analysts described as a "corrective"
move after its decline during the fourth quarter of 2004. This increase in
the value of the U.S. dollar was attributed to data released by the U.S.
Treasury Department which showed November's investment inflows to the U.S.
were ample to cover that month's record trade deficit. Speculation that U.S.
interest rates were likely to continue to rise, and fears that the
re-evaluation of the Chinese yuan was farther away than expected, also
boosted the U.S. dollar. Further losses in the currency markets were
incurred during March from long positions in the Polish zloty versus the
U.S. dollar, as the value of the Polish currency moved lower. Additional
losses were experienced from long positions in the South African rand,
Singapore dollar, and euro relative to the U.S. dollar as the value of the
U.S. dollar reversed sharply higher leading up to and after the U.S. Federal
Reserve's announcement of a quarter-point increase in the federal funds
rate. During May, long positions in the euro against the U.S. dollar
resulted in losses as the value of the U.S. dollar increased after China
downplayed rumors of a move toward a flexible exchange rate. Later in the
month, weak economic data and geopolitical uncertainty due to French voters
rejecting the European Union constitution resulted in the value of the euro
weakening further. Additional losses were incurred during December from long
positions in the New Zealand dollar relative to the U.S. dollar as the value
of the New Zealand dollar declined on weaker-than-expected economic growth
data and investor confidence that further interest rate hikes from the
Reserve Bank of New Zealand were unlikely.
.. Additional losses were recorded in the agricultural markets during the first
and second quarters from positions in the soybean complex, wheat, corn, and
cotton as prices moved without consistent direction amid conflicting news
regarding supply and demand. Long futures positions in corn resulted in
additional losses during July and August when prices declined after heavy
rainfall in the U.S. growing regions and forecasts for increases in supply.
Smaller losses during the third quarter were incurred from futures positions
in the soybean complex and cotton.
Managed futures investments are speculative, involve a high degree of risk, use
significant leverage, are generally illiquid, have substantial charges, are
subject to conflicts of interest, and are suitable only for the risk capital
portion of an investor's portfolio. Before investing in any managed futures
investment, qualified investors should read the prospectus or offering
documents carefully for additional information with respect to charges,
expenses, and risks. Past performance is no guarantee of future results.

MANAGEMENT'S REPORT ON INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING
Demeter Management Corporation ("Demeter"), the general partner of Morgan
Stanley Charter Campbell L.P., Morgan Stanley Charter MSFCM L.P., Morgan
Stanley Charter Graham L.P., and Morgan Stanley Charter Millburn L.P.
(collectively, the "Partnerships"), is responsible for the management of the
Partnerships.
Management of Demeter ("Management") is responsible for establishing and
maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting. The internal
control over financial reporting is designed to provide reasonable assurance
regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of
financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally
accepted accounting principles.
The Partnerships' internal control over financial reporting includes those
policies and procedures that:
.. Pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately
and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the
Partnerships;
.. Provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to
permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally
accepted accounting principles, and that the Partnerships' transactions are
being made only in accordance with authorizations of Management and
directors; and
.. Provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of
unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of the Partnerships' assets
that could have a material effect on the financial statements.
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial
reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any
evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that
controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the
degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
Management assessed the effectiveness of each Partnership's internal control
over financial reporting as of December 31, 2005. In making this assessment,
Management used the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring
Organizations of the Treadway Commission in Internal Control--Integrated
Framework. Based on our assessment and those criteria, Management believes that
each Partnership maintained effective internal control over financial reporting
as of December 31, 2005.
Deloitte & Touche LLP, the Partnerships' independent registered public
accounting firm, has issued an audit report on Management's assessment of the
Partnerships' internal control over financial reporting and on the
effectiveness of the Partnerships' internal control over financial reporting.
This report, which expresses unqualified opinions on Management's assessment
and on the effectiveness of the Partnerships' internal control over financial
reporting, appears under "Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting
Firm" on the following page.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Limited Partners and the General Partner of Morgan Stanley Charter
Campbell L.P., Morgan Stanley Charter MSFCM L.P., Morgan Stanley Charter Graham
L.P., and Morgan Stanley Charter Millburn L.P.:
We have audited management's assessment, included in the accompanying
Management's Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting, that Morgan
Stanley Charter Campbell L.P., Morgan Stanley Charter MSFCM L.P., Morgan
Stanley Charter Graham L.P., and Morgan Stanley Charter Millburn L.P.
(collectively, the "Partnerships") maintained effective internal control over
financial reporting as of December 31, 2005, based on criteria established in
Internal Control--Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring
Organizations of the Treadway Commission. The Partnerships' management is
responsible for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting
and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial
reporting. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on management's
assessment and an opinion on the effectiveness of the Partnerships' internal
control over financial reporting based on our audit.
We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company
Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we
plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether
effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all
material respects. Our audit included obtaining an understanding of internal
control over financial reporting, evaluating management's assessment, testing
and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control, and
performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the
circumstances. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our
opinions.
A company's internal control over financial reporting is a process designed
by, or under the supervision of, the company's principal executive and
principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, and
effected by the company's board of directors, management, and other personnel
to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial
reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company's internal
control over financial reporting includes those
policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in
reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and
dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance
that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial
statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and
that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance
with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide
reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized
acquisition, use, or disposition of the company's assets that could have a
material effect on the financial statements.
Because of the inherent limitations of internal control over financial
reporting, including the possibility of collusion or improper management
override of controls, material misstatements due to error or fraud may not be
prevented or detected on a timely basis. Also, projections of any evaluation of
the effectiveness of the internal control over financial reporting to future
periods are subject to the risk that the controls may become inadequate because
of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or
procedures may deteriorate.
In our opinion, management's assessment that the Partnerships maintained
effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2005, is
fairly stated, in all material respects, based on the criteria established in
Internal Control--Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring
Organizations of the Treadway Commission. Also in our opinion, the Partnerships
maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial
reporting as of December 31, 2005, based on the criteria established in
Internal Control--Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring
Organizations of the Treadway Commission.
We have also audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company
Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the financial statements as of and
for the year ended December 31, 2005 of the Partnerships and our report dated
March 21, 2006 expressed an unqualified opinion on those financial statements.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Limited Partners and the General Partner of Morgan Stanley Charter
Campbell L.P., Morgan Stanley Charter MSFCM L.P., Morgan Stanley Charter Graham
L.P., and Morgan Stanley Charter Millburn L.P. :
We have audited the accompanying statements of financial condition of Morgan
Stanley Charter Campbell L.P., Morgan Stanley Charter MSFCM L.P., Morgan
Stanley Charter Graham L.P., and Morgan Stanley Charter Millburn L.P.
(collectively, the "Partnerships"), including the schedules of investments, as
of December 31, 2005 and 2004, and the related statements of operations,
changes in partners' capital, and cash flows for each of the three years in the
period ended December 31, 2005. These financial statements are the
responsibility of the Partnerships' management. Our responsibility is to
express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public
Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require
that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether
the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes
examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in
the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting
principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as
evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our
audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, such financial statements present fairly, in all material
respects, the financial position of Morgan Stanley Charter Campbell L.P.,
Morgan Stanley Charter MSFCM L.P., Morgan Stanley Charter Graham L.P., and
Morgan Stanley Charter Millburn L.P. at December 31, 2005 and 2004, and the
results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the three years in
the period ended December 31, 2005 in conformity with accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States of America.
As discussed in Note 1, in 2005 the Partnerships modified their
classification of cash within the statements of financial condition and the
related statements of cash flows.
We have also audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company
Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the effectiveness of the
Partnerships' internal control over financial reporting as of December 31,
2005, based on the criteria established in Internal Control--Integrated
Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway
Commission and our report dated March 21, 2006 expressed an unqualified opinion
on management's assessment of the effectiveness of the Partnerships' internal
control over financial reporting and an unqualified opinion on the
effectiveness of the Partnerships' internal control over financial reporting.

MORGAN STANLEY CHARTER SERIES
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"), and Morgan Stanley Charter Millburn L.P.
("Charter Millburn") (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, but not limited to, 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"). Effective January 2006, for Charter Campbell, Morgan Stanley Capital
Group Inc. ("MSCG") acts as the counterparty on all of the options on foreign
currency forward contracts. The trading advisor for Charter MSFCM is VK Capital
Inc. ("VK Capital" or the "Trading Advisor"), formerly, Morgan Stanley Futures
& Currency Management Inc. Demeter, Morgan Stanley DW, MS&Co., MSIL, MSCG, and
VK Capital are wholly-owned subsidiaries of Morgan Stanley.
Effective April 28, 2005, Morgan Stanley Futures & Currency Management Inc.
changed its name to VK Capital Inc.
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.
MORGAN STANLEY CHARTER SERIES
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(continued)
REVENUE RECOGNITION. Futures Interests are open commitments until settlement
date, at which time they are realized. 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 trading profit (loss) on open contracts from one
period to the next on the Statements 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. For purposes of such interest payments, Net
Assets do not include monies owed to the Partnerships on forward contracts and
other Futures Interests.
The Partnerships' functional currency is the U.S. dollar; however, they
transact business in currencies other than the U.S. dollar. Assets and
liabilities denominated in currencies other than the U.S. dollar are translated
into U.S. dollars at the rates in effect at the date of the Statements of
Financial Condition. Income and expense items denominated in currencies other
than the U.S. dollar are translated into U.S. dollars at the rates in effect
during the period. Gains and losses resulting from the translation to U.S.
dollars are reported in income currently.
NET INCOME (LOSS) PER UNIT. Net income (loss) per unit of limited partnership
interest ("Unit(s)") is computed using the weighted average number of Units
outstanding during the period.
CONDENSED SCHEDULES OF INVESTMENTS. In December 2003, the American Institute
of Certified Public Accountants' Accounting Standards Executive Committee
issued Statement of Position 03-4 ("SOP 03-4") "Reporting Financial Highlights
and Schedule of Investments by Nonregistered Investment Partnerships: An
Amendment to the Audit and Accounting Guide Audits Of Investment Companies and
AICPA Statement of Position 95-2, Financial Reporting By Nonpublic Investment
Partnerships". SOP 03-4 requires commodity pools to disclose the number of
contracts, the contracts' expiration dates, and the cumulative unrealized
gains/(losses) on open futures contracts, when the cumulative unrealized
gains/(losses) on an open futures contract exceeds 5% of
MORGAN STANLEY CHARTER SERIES
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(continued)
Net Assets, taking long and short positions into account separately. SOP 03-4
also requires ratios for net investment income/(losses), expenses before and
after incentive fees, and net income/(losses) based on average net assets, and
ratios for total return before and after incentive fees based on average units
outstanding to be disclosed in Financial Highlights. SOP 03-4 was effective for
fiscal years ending after December 15, 2003.
EQUITY IN FUTURES INTERESTS TRADING ACCOUNTS. The Partnerships' asset "Equity
in futures interests trading accounts", reflected on 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 on 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 the terms of
their 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 currently
pays a flat-rate monthly brokerage fee of 1/12 of 6.00% of the Partnership's
Net Assets as of the first day of each month (a 6.00% annual rate). Such fees
currently cover all brokerage fees, transaction fees and costs, and ordinary
administrative and offering expenses.
From August 1, 2002 to June 30, 2005, each Partnership paid a flat-rate
monthly brokerage fee of 1/12 of 6.25% of the Partnership's Net Assets as of
the first day of each month (a 6.25% annual rate).
MORGAN STANLEY CHARTER SERIES
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(continued)
OPERATING EXPENSES. The Partnerships incur monthly management fees and may
incur an incentive fee. 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.
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 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 at 100% of
the Net Asset Value per Unit as of the end of the last day of any month that is
at least six months after the closing at which a person first becomes a limited
partner. The Request for Redemption must be delivered to a limited partner's
local Morgan Stanley Branch Office in time for it to be forwarded and received
by Demeter no later than 3:00 p.m., New York City time, on the last day of the
month in which the redemption is to be effective. Redemptions must 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.
MORGAN STANLEY CHARTER SERIES
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(continued)
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
exchange their investment among the Partnerships (subject to certain
restrictions outlined in the Limited Partnership Agreements) without paying
additional charges.
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. Demeter does not intend to make any distributions of the
Partnerships' profits.
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.
DISSOLUTION OF THE PARTNERSHIPS. 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
Litigation Settlement Administrator, and Charter MSFCM received settlement
award payments in the amount of $292,406 during August 2002, $2,880 during July
2004 and $3,661 during November 2005. Any amounts received are accounted for in
the period received, for the benefit of the limited partners at the date of
receipt.
RECLASSIFICATIONS. Certain prior year amounts relating to cash balances were
reclassified on the Statements of Financial Condition and the related
Statements of Cash Flows to conform to 2005 presentation. Such
reclassifications have no impact on the Partnerships' reported net income
(loss).
MORGAN STANLEY CHARTER SERIES
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(continued)
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
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 VK Capital to make all trading decisions for the Partnership.
Charter MSFCM pays management and incentive fees (if any) to VK Capital.
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
3. TRADING ADVISORS
Demeter, on behalf of each Partnership, retains certain commodity trading
advisors to make all trading decisions for the Partnerships. The trading
advisors for each Partnership at December 31, 2005 were as follows:
Morgan Stanley Charter Campbell L.P.
Campbell & Company, Inc.
Morgan Stanley Charter MSFCM L.P.
VK Capital Inc.
Morgan Stanley Charter Graham L.P.
Graham Capital Management, L.P.
Morgan Stanley Charter Millburn L.P.
Millburn Ridgefield Corporation
Compensation to the trading advisors by the Partnerships consists of a
management fee and an incentive fee as follows:
MANAGEMENT FEE. Charter MSFCM, Charter Graham, and Charter Millburn each pay
its trading advisor a flat-rate monthly fee equal to 1/12 of 2% (a 2% annual
rate) of the Partnership's Net Assets under management by each trading advisor
as of the first day of each month.
Charter Campbell pays its trading advisor a flat-rate monthly fee equal to
1/12 of 2.65% (a 2.65% annual rate) of the Partnership's Net Assets under
management as of the first day of each month. Prior to August 1, 2003, Charter
Campbell paid a flat-rate monthly fee equal to 1/12 of 2.75% (a 2.75% annual
rate) of the Partnership's Net Assets under management as of the first day of
each month.
MORGAN STANLEY CHARTER SERIES
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(continued)
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, and Charter Millburn.
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 Interests. 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 exchange-traded contracts is based on the settlement
price quoted by the exchange on the day with respect to which market value is
being determined. If an exchange-traded contract could not have been liquidated
on such day due to the operation of daily limits or other rules of the
exchange, the settlement price shall be the settlement price on the first
subsequent day on which the contract could be liquidated. The market value of
off-exchange-traded contracts is based on the fair market value quoted by the
counterparty.
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 Standards 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;
MORGAN STANLEY CHARTER SERIES
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(continued)
(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,
and 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
as follows:

MORGAN STANLEY CHARTER SERIES
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(continued)
The Partnerships have credit risk associated with counterparty
nonperformance. As of the date of the financial statement, the credit risk
associated with the instruments in which the Partnerships trade 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.,
MSIL, and/or MSCG act as the futures commission merchants or the
counterparties, with respect to most of the Partnerships' assets.
Exchange-traded futures, forward, 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, forward, 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 customers, all funds held by them with
respect to exchange-traded futures, forward, and futures-styled options
contracts, including an amount equal to the net unrealized gains (losses) on
all open futures, forward and futures-styled options contracts, which funds, in
the aggregate, totaled $396,667,080 and $270,748,488 for Charter Campbell,
$146,564,699 and $219,055,260 for Charter MSFCM, $427,198,898 and $477,195,064
for Charter Graham, and $48,872,400 and $60,797,909 for Charter Millburn at
December 31, 2005 and 2004, respectively. With respect to each Partnership's
off-exchange-traded forward currency contracts, there are no daily
exchange-required settlements of variation in value, nor is there any
requirement that an amount equal to the net unrealized gains (losses) on open
forward contracts be segregated. However, each Partnership is required to meet
margin requirements equal to the net unrealized loss on open contracts in the
Partnership accounts with the counterparty, which is accomplished by daily
maintenance of the cash balance in a custody account held at Morgan Stanley DW
for the benefit of MS&Co. 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.
