Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the Partners and Board of Directors of

Morgan Stanley Institutional Fund of Hedge Funds LP

We have audited the accompanying statement of assets, liabilities and partners’ capital of Morgan Stanley Institutional Fund of Hedge Funds LP (the “Partnership”), including the schedule of investments, as of December 31, 2004, and the related statements of operations and cash flows for the year then ended, and the statements of changes in partners’ capital for each of the two years in the period then ended. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Partnership’s 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 consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Partnership’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of December 31, 2004, by correspondence with the custodian, management of the investment funds and others. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Morgan Stanley Institutional Fund of Hedge Funds LP at December 31, 2004, the results of its operations and its cash flows for the year then ended, and the changes in its partners’ capital for each of the two years in the period then ended, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

MORGAN STANLEY ALTERNATIVE INVESTMENT PARTNERS LP

Morgan Stanley Institutional Fund of Hedge Funds LP

Notes to Financial Statements

For the Year Ended December 31, 2004

1. Organization

Morgan Stanley Institutional Fund of Hedge Funds LP (the “Partnership”) was organized under the laws of the State of Delaware as a limited partnership on November 6, 2001 pursuant to a limited partnership agreement and commenced operations on July 1, 2002 pursuant to an Amended and Restated Agreement of Limited Partnership (as it may be amended, modified or otherwise supplemented from time to time, the “Agreement”). The Partnership is registered under the U.S. Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), as a closed-end, non-diversified management investment company. The Partnership’s investment objective is to seek capital appreciation principally through investing in investment funds (“Investment Funds”) managed by third-party Investment Managers who employ a variety of alternative investment strategies. Investments of the Partnership are selected opportunistically from a wide range of Investment Funds in order to create a broad-based portfolio of such Investment Funds while seeking to invest in compelling investment strategies and with promising Investment Managers at optimal times. The Partnership may seek to gain investment exposure to certain Investment Funds or to adjust market or risk exposure by entering into derivative transactions, such as total return swaps, options and futures.

The Partnership’s Board of Directors (the “Board”) provides broad oversight over the operations and affairs of the Partnership. A majority of the Board is comprised of persons who are independent with respect to the Partnership.

Morgan Stanley Alternative Investment Partners LP serves as the General Partner (the “General Partner”) of the Partnership subject to the ultimate supervision of, and subject to any policies established by, the Board. The General Partner has claimed an exclusion from the definition of commodity pool operator (“CPO”) with the National Futures Association (“NFA”) in connection with the Partnership. Morgan Stanley AIP GP LP serves as the Partnership’s investment adviser (the “Adviser”) and is responsible for providing day-to-day investment management services to the Partnership, subject to the supervision of the Board. The Adviser is registered as an investment adviser under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, as amended (the “Advisers Act”), and has claimed an exemption from registration as a commodity trading adviser (“CTA”) with the NFA in connection with the Partnership. The General Partner and the Adviser are affiliates of Morgan Stanley. The Partnership has no fixed termination date and will continue unless the Partnership is otherwise terminated under the terms of the Agreement.

Limited partnership interests of the Partnership (the “Interests”) are generally issued at the beginning of each calendar quarter, unless otherwise determined at the discretion of the General Partner. Additional subscriptions for Interests by eligible investors are accepted into the Partnership at net asset value. The Partnership may from time to time offer to repurchase Interests (or portions of them) at net asset value pursuant to written tender made by a limited partner of the Partnership (a “Limited Partner”). Repurchases will be made at such times, in such amounts and on such terms as may be determined by the Board in its sole discretion.

MORGAN STANLEY ALTERNATIVE INVESTMENT PARTNERS LP

Notes to Financial Statements (continued)

1. Organization (continued)

It is anticipated that each repurchase offer by the Partnership will be made with respect to Interests representing 5%-25% of the current net asset value of the Partnership. It is also anticipated that, subject to the approval of the Board, the Partnership will make such offers to repurchase Interests (or portions of them) from Limited Partners quarterly on each March 31, June 30, September 30 and December 31 (or, if any such date is not a business day, on the immediately preceding business day). In general, the Partnership will initially pay at least 90% of the estimated value of the repurchased Interests (or portions of them) to Limited Partners within 30 days after the value of the Interests to be repurchased is determined; the remaining amount will be paid out promptly after completion of the Partnership’s year end audit.

2. Significant Accounting Policies

The following significant accounting policies are in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. Such policies are consistently followed by the Partnership in preparation of its financial statements. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires the General Partner to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, including the estimated fair value of investments. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Portfolio Valuation

The net asset value of the Partnership will be determined as of the close of business at the end of any fiscal period in accordance with the valuation principles set forth below or as may be determined from time to time pursuant to policies established by the Board.

At December 31, 2004, 97.16% of the Partnership’s portfolio was comprised of investments in Investment Funds. Of the remainder of the portfolio, 2.40%, based on the notional value, was invested in total return equity swaps (see Note 5), and 0.44% in a Eurodollar time deposit. The Board has approved procedures pursuant to which the Partnership values its investments in Investment Funds at fair value, which ordinarily will be the amount equal to the Partnership’s pro rata interest in the net assets of each such Investment Fund, as supplied by the Investment Fund’s investment manager from time to time, usually monthly. Such valuations are net of management and performance incentive fees or allocations payable to the Investment Funds’ managers pursuant to the Investment Funds’ agreements. The Investment Funds value their underlying investments in accordance with policies established by each Investment Fund, as described in each of their financial statements and offering memoranda. The Partnership’s investments in Investment Funds are subject to the terms and conditions of the respective

13

Notes to Financial Statements (continued)

2. Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

Portfolio Valuation (continued)

operating agreements and offering memoranda, as appropriate. Where no value is readily available from an Investment Fund or where a value supplied by an Investment Fund is deemed by the Adviser not to be indicative of its fair value, the Adviser will determine, in good faith, the fair value of the Investment Fund under procedures adopted by the Board and subject to Board supervision. In accordance with the Agreement, the Adviser values the Partnership’s assets based on such reasonably available relevant information as it considers material. Because of the inherent uncertainty of valuation, the values of the Partnership investments may differ significantly from the values that would have been used had a ready market for the investments held by the Partnership been available. Lancer Partners, L.P. (“Lancer”), an Investment Fund, was fair valued in good faith by the Adviser at December 31, 2004 at a value of $0 representing 0.00% of partners’ capital. The manager of Lancer has failed to deliver audited financial statements for 2001, 2002 and 2003 for Lancer. In February 2003, the General Partner initiated a legal action against Lancer and its manager in the Superior Court of the State of Connecticut for access to the full books and records of Lancer. Subsequently, Lancer filed a petition for reorganization under Chapter 11 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code. The General Partner is a member of the creditors committee formed as part of that proceeding. On July 8, 2003, the SEC instituted a civil action against Lancer, Lancer Management Group, LLC, Lancer Management Group II, LLC (Lancer’s general partner and fund manager, referred to with Lancer Management Group, LLC as “Lancer Management”), Michael Lauer (the principal of Lancer Management) as well as against other entities affiliated with Lauer. The SEC alleges that Lauer and Lancer Management made fraudulent misrepresentations to investors by, among other things, overstating the value of the funds and manipulating the price of shares of some of the companies in which Lancer invested. The SEC obtained a temporary restraining order which appointed a receiver for Lancer Management and granted other relief against Lancer Management and Lauer, while deferring to the bankruptcy court with respect to Lancer. Subsequently, the SEC receiver advised the bankruptcy court that it was now in control of Lancer, that Lauer would not be contesting the preliminary injunction sought by the SEC, and that Lauer had agreed not to take any further action with respect to Lancer. It is anticipated that the receiver will evaluate the financial status of Lancer and, in consultation with the creditor and equity committees in the bankruptcy proceeding, propose a plan for winding up Lancer. The Partnership will continue to pursue its rights with regard to the bankruptcy action. The investment in Safe Harbor Fund, L.P. (“Safe Harbor”), an Investment Fund formerly managed by Beacon Hill Asset Management LLC and currently managed by Ellington Management Group, L.L.C., with a value of $7,914,474 representing 0.46% of partners’ capital, was in liquidation at December 31, 2004. The fair value of Safe Harbor has been determined based on information provided by Safe Harbor’s administrator consistent with the methodology approved by Safe Harbor’s Board of Directors. Safe Harbor’s fair value does not reflect any potential liabilities associated with either the liquidation of Safe Harbor or any pending action against Safe Harbor, its former investment advisor or any party with a potential indemnification claim against Safe Harbor.

2. Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

Income Recognition and Expenses

The Partnership recognizes interest income on an accrual basis. Income, expenses and realized and unrealized gains and losses are recorded monthly. The change in Investment Funds’ net asset value is included in net change in unrealized appreciation on investments in Investment Funds on the Statement of Operations. Redemptions received, whether in the form of cash or securities, are applied as a reduction of the Investment Fund’s cost and realized gain (loss) on investments in Investment Funds on a pro-rata basis.

Net profits or net losses of the Partnership for each of its fiscal periods are allocated among and credited to or debited against the capital accounts of all Limited Partners and the General Partner (collectively, the “Partners”) as of the last day of each month in accordance with the Partners’ investment percentages as of the first day of each month. Net profits or net losses are measured as the net change in the value of the net assets of the Partnership, including any net change in unrealized appreciation or depreciation on investments, income, net of accrued expenses, and realized gains or losses, before giving effect to any repurchases by the Partnership of Interests or portions of Interests.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

The Partnership treats all highly liquid financial instruments that have original maturities within three months of acquisition as cash equivalents. Cash equivalents are valued at cost plus accrued interest, which approximates fair value. All cash is invested overnight in a short-term time deposit with the Partnership’s custodian, State Street Bank and Trust Company.

Income and Withholding Taxes

No provision for federal, state, or local income taxes is provided in the financial statements. In accordance with the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, the Limited Partners and General Partner (collectively, the “Partners”) are to include their respective share of the Partnership’s realized profits or losses in their individual tax returns.

For the year ended December 31, 2004, in accordance with the accounting guidance provided in the AICPA Audit and Accounting Guide, “Audits of Investment Companies,” the Partnership reclassified $10,946,288 and $3,459,474 from accumulated net investment loss and accumulated net realized gain, respectively, to net capital contributions. This reclassification was to reflect, as an adjustment to net capital contributions, the amounts of taxable income or loss that have been allocated to the Partners and had no effect on net assets.

15

MORGAN STANLEY ALTERNATIVE INVESTMENT PARTNERS LP

Notes to Financial Statements (continued)

2. Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

Income and Withholding Taxes (continued)

The Partnership is required to withhold U.S. tax from amounts allocable to its foreign partners that are effectively connected with a business within the United States and to remit those amounts to the Internal Revenue Service. The rate of withholding is generally the rate at which the particular foreign partner is subject to U.S. federal income tax. The foreign partners are obligated to indemnify the Partnership for any taxes that the Partnership is required to withhold as well as any interest or penalties. During the year ended December 31, 2004, the Partnership withheld and paid taxes of $828,405, which is included in withholding tax expense on the Statement of Operations. This amount was specifically allocated from capital accounts of the foreign partners who incurred the withholding.

Limitation of Limited Partner Liability

Generally, except as provided under applicable law or under the Agreement, a Limited Partner shall not be liable for the Partnership’s debts, obligations and liabilities in any amount in excess of the capital account balance of such Limited Partner, plus such Limited Partner’s share of undistributed profits and assets. Subject to applicable law, a Limited Partner may be obligated to return to the Partnership certain amounts distributed to the Limited Partner.

Contractual Obligations

The Partnership enters into contracts that contain a variety of indemnifications. The Partnership’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown. However, the Partnership has not had prior claims or losses pursuant to these contracts and expects the risk of loss to be remote.

3. Management Fee, Performance Incentive, Related Party Transactions and Other

Effective November 1, 2004, under the terms of the Investment Advisory Agreement, as amended, between the Adviser and the Partnership, the Adviser receives a management fee for services provided to the Partnership, calculated and paid monthly at a rate of 0.046% (0.55% on an annualized basis) of the Partnership’s net assets as of the end of business on the last business day of each month, before adjustment for any redemptions effective on that day. Prior to November 1, 2004, the management fee was calculated and paid at a monthly rate of 0.063% (0.75% on an annualized basis). For the year ended December 31, 2004, the Partnership incurred management fees of $9,089,381, of which $1,576,948 was payable to the Adviser as of December 31, 2004.

MORGAN STANLEY ALTERNATIVE INVESTMENT PARTNERS LP

Notes to Financial Statements (continued)

3. Management Fee, Performance Incentive, Related Party Transactions and Other (continued)

Effective November 1, 2004, under the terms of the Agreement, as amended, the General Partner’s “Performance Incentive” for each Incentive Period, as defined in the Agreement, is equal to 10% of the amount, if any, of: (1) the net profits allocated to each Limited Partner’s capital account for the Incentive Period in excess of any net losses so allocated for such Incentive Period; above (2) the greater of (a) the Limited Partner’s Hurdle Rate Amount (as defined below) for the Incentive Period or (b) the Loss Carryforward Amount(s), as defined in the Agreement, applicable to the Limited Partner’s capital account. Prior to November 1, 2004, the rate used in calculating the Performance Incentive was 15%. With respect to each Limited Partner for each Incentive Period, the Performance Incentive allocated to the General Partner initially will not exceed 1.75% of the Limited Partner’s ending capital account balance for that Incentive Period, as determined prior to the deduction of the Performance Incentive.

The Partnership’s “Hurdle Rate” for a given Incentive Period is initially equal to 5% per annum plus the rate of return achieved by the Citi Three-Month U.S. Treasury Bill Index over the same Incentive Period. A Limited Partner’s “Hurdle Rate Amount” for a given Incentive Period is equal to the Hurdle Rate calculated for a given Incentive Period multiplied by the Limited Partner’s capital account balance as of the beginning of that Incentive Period. The Hurdle Rate is not cumulative and resets for each Incentive Period at the beginning of each such Incentive Period. The Performance Incentive will be debited from each Partner’s capital account and credited to the General Partner’s capital account at the end of each such Incentive Period. During the years ended December 31, 2004 and December 31, 2003, the Performance Incentive earned was $54,877 and $5,747,835, respectively.

State Street Bank and Trust Company (the “Administrator”) provides administrative services to the Partnership under an Administrative Services Agreement. Under the Administrative Services Agreement, the Administrator is paid a fee computed and payable monthly at an annual rate of 0.0650% of the Partnership’s average monthly net assets. In addition, the Partnership is charged for certain reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Administrator on its behalf.

State Street Bank and Trust Company also serves as the custodian for the Partnership. Custody fees are payable monthly based on assets held in custody and investment purchases and sales activity, plus reimbursement for certain reasonable out-of-pocket expenses.

At December 31, 2004, there was one Limited Partner, unaffiliated with Morgan Stanley, with a capital balance that represented approximately 60% of the Partnership’s capital and another Limited Partner, unaffiliated with Morgan Stanley, that invested in the Partnership indirectly through a related limited partnership, that had a capital balance that represented approximately 15% of the Partnership’s capital.

MORGAN STANLEY ALTERNATIVE INVESTMENT PARTNERS LP

Notes to Financial Statements (continued)

4. Investments in Investment Funds

As of December 31, 2004, the Partnership invested primarily in Investment Funds, none of which were affiliates of Morgan Stanley. The agreements related to investments in Investment Funds provide for compensation to the Investment Funds’ managers/general partners in the form of management fees ranging from 0.0% to 2.5% annually of net assets and performance incentive fees/allocations ranging from 15% to 25% of net profits earned.

At December 31, 2004, approximately 1.53% of the Partnership’s capital was invested in Investment Funds with lock-ups extending beyond one year from December 31, 2004.

For the year ended December 31, 2004, aggregate purchases and proceeds of sales of Investment Funds were $662,229,344 and $159,379,262, respectively.

The cost of investments for Federal income tax purposes is adjusted for items of taxable income or loss allocated to the Partnership from the Investment Funds. The allocated taxable income or loss is reported to the Partnership by the Investment Funds on Schedules K-1. The Partnership has not yet received all such Schedules K-1 for the year ended December 31, 2004.

5. Financial Instruments with Off-Balance Sheet Risk

In the normal course of business, the Investment Funds in which the Partnership invests trade various financial instruments and enter into various investment activities with off-balance sheet risk. These include, but are not limited to, short selling activities, written option contracts, and equity swaps. The Partnership’s risk of loss in these Investment Funds is limited to the value of these investments as reported by the Partnership.

Options

The Partnership may utilize options and so-called “synthetic” options written by broker-dealers or other permissible financial intermediaries. Options transactions may be effected on securities exchanges or in the over-the-counter market. Options are valued based on market values provided by dealers. When options are purchased over-the-counter, the Partnership bears the risk that the counterparty that wrote the option will be unable or unwilling to perform its obligations under the option contract. Options may also be illiquid and, in such cases, the Adviser may have difficulty closing out the Partnership’s position. Over-the-counter options also may include options on “baskets” of specific securities.

18

MORGAN STANLEY ALTERNATIVE INVESTMENT PARTNERS LP

Morgan Stanley Institutional Fund of Hedge Funds LP

Notes to Financial Statements (continued)

5. Financial Instruments with Off-Balance Sheet Risk (continued)

Options (continued)

The Partnership may purchase call and put options on specific securities for hedging purposes in pursuing its investment objectives. A put option gives the purchaser of the option the right to sell, and obligates the writer to buy, the underlying security at a stated exercise price, typically at any time prior to the expiration of the option. A call option gives the purchaser of the option the right to buy, and obligates the writer to sell, the underlying security at a stated exercise price, typically at any time prior to the expiration of the option.

The Partnership may purchase call and put options on stock indices listed on national securities exchanges or traded in the over-the-counter market for hedging purposes and non-hedging purposes in seeking to achieve its investment objectives. A stock index fluctuates with changes in the market values of the stocks included in the index. Successful use of options on stock indexes will be subject to the Adviser’s ability to predict correctly movements in the direction of the stock market generally or of a particular industry or market segment, which requires different skills and techniques from those involved in predicting changes in the price of individual stocks. There were no option contracts outstanding as of December 31, 2004.

Swap Agreements

The Partnership may enter into equity, interest rate, index and currency rate swap agreements. These transactions will be undertaken in an attempt to obtain a particular return when the Adviser determines appropriate, possibly at a lower cost than if the Partnership had invested directly in the investment or instrument. Swap agreements are two-party contracts entered into primarily by institutional investors for periods ranging from a few weeks to more than a year. In a standard swap transaction, two parties agree to exchange the returns (or differentials in rates of returns) earned or realized on particular predetermined investments or instruments, which may be adjusted for an interest factor. The gross returns to be exchanged or “swapped” between the parties are generally calculated with respect to a “notional amount,” that is, the return on or increase in value of a particular dollar amount invested at a particular interest rate, in a particular non-U.S. currency, in the value of an Investment Fund, or in a “basket” of securities representing a particular index. Effective January 1, 2004, the Partnership adopted the method of accounting for interim payments on swap contracts in accordance with clarification provided by the SEC to registered investment companies. The change in value of swaps, including the periodic amounts of interest to be paid or received on swaps, is reported as unrealized gains or losses in the Statement of Operations. Unrealized gains are reported as an asset and unrealized losses are reported as a liability on the Statement of Assets, Liabilities and Partners’ Capital. A realized gain or loss is recorded upon payment or receipt of a periodic payment or termination of swap agreements.

Notes to Financial Statements (continued)

5. Financial Instruments with Off-Balance Sheet Risk (continued)

Swap Agreements (continued)

Most swap agreements entered into by the Partnership require the calculation of the obligations of the parties to the agreements on a “net basis.” Consequently, current obligations (or rights) under a swap agreement generally will be equal only to the net amount to be paid or received under the agreement based on the relative values of the positions held by each party to the agreement (the “net amount”).

Swaps are valued based on market values provided by dealers. The Partnership is subject to the market risk associated with changes in the value of the underlying investment or instrument, as well as exposure to credit risk associated with counterparty non-performance on swap contracts. The risk of loss with respect to swaps is limited to the net amount of payments that the Partnership is contractually obligated to make. If the other party to a swap defaults, the Partnership’s risk of loss consists of the net amount of payments that the Partnership contractually is entitled to receive, which may be different than the amounts recorded on the Statement of Assets, Liabilities and Partners’ Capital.

The unrealized appreciation/depreciation, rather than the contract amount, represents the approximate future cash to be received or paid, respectively.

As of December 31, 2004, the following swap contracts were outstanding:

Notional Amount		Maturity Date	Description	Unrealized Appreciation
$	25,000,000	*	Agreement with UBS AG, London Branch, dated 8/01/02 to receive the total return of the Series B Investment Class shares of Anova Fund Ltd. in exchange for an amount to be paid quarterly, equal to the LIBOR rate plus 0.33%.	$	1,595,243
$	12,000,000	*	Agreement with UBS AG, London Branch, dated 1/02/04 to receive the total return of the Series D Investment Class shares of The Carrousel Fund Ltd. in exchange for an amount to be paid quarterly, equal to the LIBOR rate plus 0.33%.	$	1,321,180
				$	2,916,423

* Perpetual maturity. Resets quarterly.

Cash for the full notional amount has been deposited with the counterparty and is included in “Due from broker” in the Statement of Assets, Liabilities and Partners’ Capital.

These interim payments are reflected within net realized loss and net change in unrealized appreciation on swap contracts on the Statement of Operations; however prior to January 1, 2004, these interim payments were reflected within interest expense on the Statement of Operations. The effect of this change for the year ended December 31, 2004 was to decrease the ratio of net investment loss to average Limited Partners’ Capital and to decrease the ratio of total expenses to average Limited Partners’ Capital by 0.05% and 0.05%, respectively.

(f) Excludes impact of Performance Incentive.

Total return and the ratios to average Limited Partners’ Capital are calculated for the Limited Partner class taken as a whole for the year ended December 31, 2004. An individual investor’s return and ratios may vary from these returns and ratios based on the timing of capital transactions and withholding tax allocation.

7. Subsequent Events

From January 1, 2005 through February 21, 2005, the Partnership accepted and received approximately $58 million in additional contributions.

Effective March 1, 2005, the Partnership’s minimum initial investment will increase to $25 million.

(e)(1) The audit committee’s pre-approval policies and procedures are as follows:

AUDIT COMMITTEE

AUDIT AND NON-AUDIT SERVICES

PRE-APPROVAL POLICY AND PROCEDURES

OF THE

MORGAN STANLEY RETAIL AND INSTITUTIONAL FUNDS

AS ADOPTED AND AMENDED JULY 23, 2004,¹

A. Statement of Principles

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

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

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

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

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

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

3

B. Delegation

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

C. Audit Services

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

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

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

D. Audit-related Services

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

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

E. Tax Services

The Audit Committee believes that the Independent Auditors can provide Tax services to the Fund and, to the extent they are Covered Services, the Covered Entities, such as tax compliance, tax planning and tax

4

advice without impairing the auditor’s independence, and the SEC has stated that the Independent Auditors may provide such services.

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

F. All Other Services

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

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

G. Pre-Approval Fee Levels or Budgeted Amounts

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

H. Procedures

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

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

I. Additional Requirements

The Audit Committee has determined to take additional measures on an annual basis to meet its responsibility to oversee the work of the Independent Auditors and to assure the auditor’s independence from the Fund, such as reviewing a formal written statement from the Independent Auditors delineating all relationships between the Independent Auditors and the Fund, consistent with Independence Standards Board No. 1, and discussing with the Independent Auditors its methods and procedures for ensuring independence.

J. Covered Entities

Covered Entities include the Fund’s investment adviser(s) and any entity controlling, controlled by or under common control with the Fund’s investment adviser(s) that provides ongoing services to the Fund(s).

ITEM 7. DISCLOSURE OF PROXY VOTING POLICIES AND PROCEDURES FOR CLOSED-END MANAGEMENT INVESTMENT COMPANIES. The Proxy Voting Policies and Procedures of the Fund and its investment adviser are as follows:

MORGAN STANLEY INVESTMENT MANAGEMENT

PROXY VOTING POLICY AND PROCEDURES

I. POLICY STATEMENT

Introduction – Morgan Stanley Investment Management’s (“MSIM”) policy and procedures for voting proxies (“Proxy Voting Policy and Procedures”) with respect to securities held in the accounts of clients applies to those MSIM entities that provide discretionary investment management services and for which a MSIM entity has authority to vote proxies. The policy and procedures and general guidelines in this section will be reviewed and, updated, as necessary, to address new or revised proxy voting issues. The MSIM entities covered by these policies and procedures currently include the following: Morgan Stanley Investment Advisors Inc., Morgan Stanley AIP GP LP, Morgan Stanley Investment Management Inc., Morgan Stanley Investment Management Limited, Morgan Stanley Investment Management Company, Morgan Stanley Asset & Investment Trust Management Co., Limited, Morgan Stanley Investment Management Private Limited, Morgan Stanley Hedge Fund Partners GP LP, Morgan Stanley Hedge Fund Partners LP, Van Kampen Asset Management, and Van Kampen Advisors Inc. (each an “MSIM Affiliate” and collectively referred to as the “MSIM Affiliates”).

Each MSIM Affiliate will use its best efforts to vote proxies as part of its authority to manage, acquire and dispose of account assets. With respect to the MSIM registered management investment companies (Van Kampen, Institutional and Advisor Funds) (collectively referred to as the “MSIM Funds”), each MSIM Affiliate will vote proxies pursuant to authority granted under its applicable investment advisory agreement or, in the absence of such authority, as authorized by the Board of Directors or Trustees of the MSIM Funds. A MSIM Affiliate will not vote proxies if the “named fiduciary” for an ERISA account has reserved the authority for itself, or in the case of an account not governed by ERISA, the Investment Management or Investment Advisory Agreement does not authorize the MSIM Affiliate to vote proxies. MSIM Affiliates will, in a prudent and diligent manner, vote proxies in the best interests of clients, including beneficiaries of and participants in a client’s benefit plan(s) for which the MSIM Affiliates manage assets, consistent with the objective of maximizing long-term investment returns (“Client Proxy Standard”). In certain situations, a client or its fiduciary may provide a MSIM Affiliate with a proxy voting policy. In these situations, the MSIM Affiliate will comply with the client’s policy unless to do so would be inconsistent with applicable laws or regulations or the MSIM Affiliate’s fiduciary responsibility.

Proxy Research Services – To assist the MSIM Affiliates in their responsibility for voting proxies and the overall global proxy voting process, Institutional Shareholder Services (“ISS”) and the Investor Responsibility Research Center (“IRRC”) have been retained as experts in the proxy voting and corporate governance area. ISS and IRRC are independent advisers that specialize in providing a variety of fiduciary-level proxy-related services to institutional investment managers, plan sponsors, custodians, consultants, and other institutional investors. The services provided to MSIM Affiliates include in-depth research, global issuer analysis, and voting recommendations. While the MSIM Affiliates may review and utilize the ISS recommendations in making proxy voting decisions, they are in no way obligated to follow the ISS recommendations. In addition to research, ISS provides vote execution, reporting, and recordkeeping. MSIM’s Proxy Review Committee (see Section IV.A. below) will carefully monitor and supervise the services provided by the proxy research services.

8

Voting Proxies for Certain Non-US Companies – While the proxy voting process is well established in the United States and other developed markets with a number of tools and services available to assist an investment manager, voting proxies of non-US companies located in certain jurisdictions, particularly emerging markets, may involve a number of problems that may restrict or prevent a MSIM Affiliate’s ability to vote such proxies. These problems include, but are not limited to: (i) proxy statements and ballots being written in a language other than English; (ii) untimely and/or inadequate notice of shareholder meetings; (iii) restrictions on the ability of holders outside the issuer’s jurisdiction of organization to exercise votes; (iv) requirements to vote proxies in person, (v) the imposition of restrictions on the sale of the securities for a period of time in proximity to the shareholder meeting; and (vi) requirements to provide local agents with power of attorney to facilitate the MSIM Affiliate’s voting instructions. As a result, clients’ non-U.S. proxies will be voted on a best efforts basis only, after weighing the costs and benefits to MSIM’s clients of voting such proxies, consistent with the Client Proxy Standard. ISS has been retained to provide assistance to the MSIM Affiliates in connection with voting their clients’ non-US proxies.

II. GENERAL PROXY VOTING GUIDELINES

To ensure consistency in voting proxies on behalf of its clients, MSIM Affiliates will follow (subject to any exception set forth herein) these Proxy Voting Policies and Procedures, including the guidelines set forth below. These guidelines address a broad range of issues, including board size and composition, executive compensation, anti-takeover proposals, capital structure proposals and social responsibility issues and are meant to be general voting parameters on issues that arise most frequently. The MSIM Affiliates, however, may, pursuant to the procedures set forth in Section IV. below, vote in a manner that is not in accordance with the following general guidelines, provided the vote is approved by the Proxy Review Committee and is consistent with the Client Proxy Standard.

III. GUIDELINES

A. Management Proposals

1. When voting on routine ballot items, unless otherwise determined by the Proxy Review Committee, the following proposals will be voted in support of management.

• Selection or ratification of auditors.

• Approval of financial statements, director and auditor reports.

• General updating/corrective amendments to the charter.

• Proposals to limit Directors’ liability and/or broaden indemnification of Directors.

• Proposals requiring that a certain percentage (up to 66 2/3%) of the company’s Board members be independent Directors.

• Proposals requiring that members of the company’s compensation, nominating and audit committees be comprised of independent or unaffiliated Directors.

• Proposals recommending set retirement ages or requiring specific levels of stock ownership by Directors.

9

• Proposals to eliminate cumulative voting.

• Proposals to eliminate preemptive rights.

• Proposals for confidential voting and independent tabulation of voting results.

• Proposals related to the conduct of the annual meeting except those proposals that relate to the “transaction of such other business which may come before the meeting.”

2. Election of Directors, In situations where no conflict exists, and where no specific governance deficiency has been noted, unless otherwise determined by the Proxy Review Committee, proxies will be voted in support of nominees of management.

Unless otherwise determined by the Proxy Review Committee, a withhold vote will be made where:

(i) A nominee has, or any time during the previous five years had, a relationship with the issuer (e.g., investment banker, counsel or other professional service provider, or familial relationship with a senior officer of the issuer) that may impair his or her independence;

(ii) A direct conflict exists between the interests of the nominee and the public shareholders; or

(iii) Where the nominees standing for election have not taken action to implement generally accepted governance practices for which there is a “bright line” test. These would include elimination of dead hand or slow hand poison pills, requiring Audit, Compensation or Nominating Committees to be composed of independent directors and requiring a majority independent board.

3. The following non-routine proposals, which potentially may have a substantive financial or best interest impact on a shareholder, unless otherwise determined by the Proxy Review Committee, will be voted in support of management.

Capitalization changes

• Proposals relating to capitalization changes that eliminate other classes of stock and voting rights.

• Proposals to increase the authorization of existing classes of common stock (or securities convertible into common stock) if: (i) a clear and legitimate business purpose is stated; (ii) the number of shares requested is reasonable in relation to the purpose for which authorization is requested; and (iii) the authorization does not exceed 100% of shares currently authorized and at least 30% of the new authorization will be outstanding.

• Proposals to create a new class of preferred stock or for issuances of preferred stock up to 50% of issued capital.

10

• Proposals for share repurchase plans.

• Proposals to reduce the number of authorized shares of common or preferred stock, or to eliminate classes of preferred stock.

• Proposals to effect stock splits.

• Proposals to effect reverse stock splits if management proportionately reduces the authorized share amount set forth in the corporate charter. Reverse stock splits that do not adjust proportionately to the authorized share amount will generally be approved if the resulting increase in authorized shares coincides with the proxy guidelines set forth above for common stock increases.

Compensation

• Proposals relating to Director fees, provided the amounts are not excessive relative to other companies in the country or industry.

• Proposals for employee stock purchase plans that permit discounts up to 15%, but only for grants that are part of a broad based employee plan, including all non-executive employees.

• Proposals for the establishment of employee stock option Plans and other employee ownership plans.

• Proposals for the establishment of employee retirement and severance plans.

Anti-Takeover Matters

• Proposals to modify or rescind existing supermajority vote requirements to amend the charters or bylaws.

4. The following non-routine proposals, which potentially may have a substantive financial or best interest impact on a shareholder, unless otherwise determined by the Proxy Review Committee, will be voted against (notwithstanding management support).

5. The following types of non-routine proposals, which potentially may have a substantive financial or best interest impact on an issuer, will be voted as determined by the Proxy Review Committee.

Corporate Transactions

• Proposals relating to mergers, acquisitions and other special corporate transactions (i.e., takeovers, spin-offs, sales of assets, reorganizations, restructurings and recapitalizations) will be examined on a case-by-case basis. In all cases, ISS and IRRC research and analysis will be used along with MSIM Affiliates’ research and analysis, including, among other things, MSIM internal company-specific knowledge.

• Proposals relating to change-in-control provisions in non-salary compensation plans, employment contracts, and severance agreements that benefit management and would be costly to shareholders if triggered.

• Proposals relating to shareholders rights plans that allow appropriate offers to shareholders to be blocked by the board or trigger provisions that prevent legitimate offers from proceeding.

• Proposals relating to Executive/Director stock option plans. Generally, stock option plans should meet the following criteria:

IV. ADMINISTRATION OF PROXY POLICY AND PROCEDURES

A. Proxy Review Committee

1. The MSIM Proxy Review Committee (“Committee”) is responsible for creating and implementing MSIM’s Proxy Voting Policy and Procedures and, in this regard, has expressly adopted them.

(a) The Committee, which is appointed by MSIM’s Chief Investment Officer (“CIO”), consists of senior investment professionals who represent the different investment disciplines and geographic locations of the firm. The Committee is responsible for establishing MSIM’s proxy voting policy and guidelines and determining how MSIM will vote proxies on an ongoing basis.

(b) The Committee will periodically review and have the authority to amend, as necessary, these Proxy Voting Policy and Procedures and establish and direct voting positions consistent with the Client Proxy Standard.

(c) The Committee will meet at least monthly to (among other matters): (1) address any outstanding issues relating to MSIM’s Proxy Voting Policy and Procedures; and (2) review proposals at upcoming shareholder meetings of MSIM portfolio companies in accordance with this Policy including, as appropriate, the voting results of prior shareholder meetings of the same issuer where a similar proposal was presented to shareholders. The Committee, or its designee, will timely communicate to ISS MSIM’s Proxy Voting Policy and Procedures (and any

14

amendments to them and/or any additional guidelines or procedures it may adopt).

(d) The Committee will meet on an ad hoc basis to (among other matters): (1) authorize “split voting” (i.e., allowing certain shares of the same issuer that are the subject of the same proxy solicitation and held by one or more MSIM portfolios to be voted differently than other shares) and/or “override voting” (i.e., voting all MSIM portfolio shares in a manner contrary to the Proxy Voting Policy and Procedures); (2) review and approve upcoming votes, as appropriate, for matters for which specific direction has been provided in these Policy and Procedures; and (3) determine how to vote matters for which specific direction has not been provided in these Policy and Procedures. Split votes will generally not be approved within a single Global Investor Group team. The Committee may take into account ISS and IRRC recommendations and research as well as any other relevant information they may request or receive.

(e) In addition to the procedures discussed above, if the Committee determines that an issue raises a potential material conflict of interest, or gives rise to the appearance of a potential material conflict of interest, the Committee will request a special committee to review, and recommend a course of action with respect to, the conflict(s) in question (“Special Committee”). The Special Committee shall be comprised of the Chairman of the Proxy Review Committee, the Compliance Director for the area of the firm involved or his/her designee, a senior portfolio manager (if practicable, one who is a member of the Proxy Review Committee) designated by the Proxy Review Committee and MSIM’s Chief Investment Officer or his/her designee. The Special Committee may request the assistance of MSIM’s General Counsel or his/her designee and will have sole discretion to cast a vote. In addition to the research provided by ISS and IRRC, the Special Committee may request analysis from MSIM Affiliate investment professionals and outside sources to the extent it deems appropriate.

(f) The Committee and the Special Committee, or their designee(s), will document in writing all of their decisions and actions, which documentation will be maintained by the Committee and the Special Committee, or their designee(s), for a period of at least 6 years. To the extent these decisions relate to a security held by a MSIM U.S. registered investment company, the Committee and Special Committee, or their designee(s), will report their decisions to each applicable Board of Trustees/Directors of those investment companies at each Board’s next regularly scheduled Board meeting. The report will contain information concerning decisions made by the Committee and Special Committee during the most recently ended calendar quarter immediately preceding the Board meeting.

(g) The Committee and Special Committee, or their designee(s), will timely communicate to applicable portfolio managers, the Compliance Departments and, as necessary to ISS, decisions of the Committee and Special Committee so that, among other things, ISS will vote proxies consistent with their decisions.

15

B. Identification of Material Conflicts of Interest

1. If there is a possibility that a vote may involve a material conflict of interest, the vote must be decided by the Special Committee in consultation with MSIM’s General Counsel or his/her designee.

2. A material conflict of interest could exist in the following situations, among others:

(a) The issuer soliciting the vote is a client of MSIM or an affiliate of MSIM and the vote is on a material matter affecting the issuer;

(b) The proxy relates to Morgan Stanley common stock or any other security issued by Morgan Stanley or its affiliates; or

(c) Morgan Stanley has a material pecuniary interest in the matter submitted for a vote (e.g., acting as a financial advisor to a party to a merger or acquisition for which Morgan Stanley will be paid a success fee if completed).

C. Proxy Voting Reports

(a) MSIM will promptly provide a copy of these Policy and Procedures to any client requesting them. MSIM will also, upon client request, promptly provide a report indicating how each proxy was voted with respect to securities held in that client’s account.

(b) MSIM’s legal department is responsible for filing an annual Form N-PX on behalf of each registered management investment company for which such filing is required, indicating how all proxies were voted with respect to such investment company’s holdings.
