MORGAN STANLEY INSTITUTIONAL FUND TRUST

Rule 18f-3
Amended and Restated Multiple Class Plan

Morgan Stanley Institutional Fund Trust (the “Fund”), a registered investment company that currently consists of a number of separately managed portfolios, has elected to rely on Rule 18f-3 under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), in offering multiple classes of shares in each portfolio listed on Schedule A hereto (each a “Portfolio”). This plan (the “Plan”) is adopted pursuant to Rule 18f-3, effective as of 1996, as hereby amended and restated as of February 27, 2019.

Effective September 9, 2013, the Class P and Class H shares of the Portfolios were renamed as Class A shares.

A.         Attributes of Share Classes

1.       The rights of each class of shares of the Portfolios shall be as set forth in the respective Certificate of Class Designation for each class (each a “Certificate”) as each such Certificate is approved by the Fund’s Board of Trustees and as attached hereto as Exhibits.

2.       With respect to each class of shares created hereunder, each share of a Portfolio will represent an equal pro rata interest in the Portfolio and will have identical terms and conditions, except that: (i) each new class will have a different class name (or other designation) that identifies the class as separate from any other class; (ii) each class will be offered and sold only to investors meeting the qualifications set forth in the Certificate and disclosed in each Portfolio’s Prospectus; (iii) each class will separately bear any distribution or shareholder service fees that are payable in connection with a distribution and/or shareholder services plan adopted pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act (a “12b-1 Plan”), and separately bear any service fees (“service fees”) that may be paid for the provision of “personal service and/or the maintenance of shareholder accounts” as provided for in Section 2341(b)(9) of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (“FINRA”) Rules, which are not contemplated by or within the scope of the 12b-1 Plan, and other shareholder service fees; (iv) each class may bear the expenses of the Portfolio’s operations which are directly attributable to such class, to the extent consistent with Rule 18f-3, guidance by the Securities and Exchange Commission, and, to the extent relevant, guidance issued by the Internal Revenue Service (“Class Expenses”); and (v) shareholders of each class will have exclusive voting rights regarding any matter submitted to shareholders that relates solely to such class (such as a 12b-1 Plan or service agreement relating to such class), and will have separate voting rights on any matter submitted to shareholders in which the interests of that class differ from the interests of any other class.

B.         Expense Allocations

Expenses incurred by a Portfolio are allocated among the various classes of shares pro rata based on the net assets of the Portfolio attributable to each class, except that 12b-1 fees, service fees, sub-accounting fees or Class Expenses relating to a particular class are allocated directly to that class.

C.         Amendment of Plan

This Plan must be amended to properly describe (through additional exhibits hereto) each new class of shares upon its approval by the Board.

The Board of Trustees of the Fund, including a majority of the Trustees who are not “interested persons” of the Fund as defined in the 1940 Act, must approve any material amendment of the Plan as it relates to any class of any Portfolio covered by the Plan. In approving any material amendment to the Plan, the Trustees, including a majority of the Trustees who are not interested persons of the Fund, must find that the amendment is in the best interests of each class individually and the Fund as a whole.
