Fund Report (unaudited)

For the six months ended June 30, 2012

Total Return for the 6 Months Ended June 30, 2012

Class A		Class B		Class C		Class I		Class Q		Dow Jones Brookfield Global Infrastructure IndexSM1		S&P Global BMI Index2
	7.00%		6.56%		6.65%		7.19%		6.89%		6.44%		6.09%

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

Market Conditions

Infrastructure shares appreciated 6.44 percent during the first half of 2012, as measured by the Dow Jones Brookfield Global Infrastructure Index^SM (the “Index”). Among the major infrastructure sectors, the communications, European regulated utilities, and gas distribution utilities sectors exhibited relative outperformance over the Index, while the gas midstream, toll roads, pipeline companies, and transmission and distribution sectors underperformed the Index. In addition, all of the smaller sectors exhibited relative outperformance, with the water sector realizing the strongest gains.

Despite indications of slowing economic growth globally, the first half of 2012 ended on a high note for the broader equity markets as investors cheered the prospect of a common European banking regulator and the potential for direct bank bailouts within the European Union (EU) that will bypass sovereign governments (thus breaking the circular, co-dependent relationship between governments and banks that plagues the current crisis). While many would welcome these potential measures, we are cautious given the continued lack of specifics and the seemingly different interpretations of EU summit promises as expressed by members of the German and Spanish governments. Certain northern European countries have also threatened to block such initiatives unless current austerity drives are implemented in full.

If certain announcements in Europe are cause for optimism, such optimism may be in short supply as economic statistics elsewhere indicate a global economy struggling to escape from the global financial crisis. Job growth in the United States remains lackluster at best, and business optimism has started to deteriorate again, after improving earlier in the year. In Asia, the Chinese government has announced policy measures to stimulate growth and has lowered borrowing rates, but recent disclosure of various economic statistics indicate a broad slowing of growth in that country.

Within infrastructure, the strength of operating fundamentals exhibited in the first half of the year varied by sector and region. One of the strongest areas from a fundamental perspective remains the communications sector, where U.S.-based wireless tower operators in particular enjoyed robust growth, driven by upgrades to telecommunications companies’ wireless networks. Utility assets globally that focus on transmission, distribution, and storage initiatives also witnessed very stable, steady growth. Within energy infrastructure in North America, there has been some softening in fundamentals off the very robust growth achieved over the last couple of years as lower natural gas, crude oil, and natural gas liquids (NGL) prices

4

have curtailed exploration and production company drilling plans somewhat, lessening the utilization of existing infrastructure in certain parts of the value chain (in particular, gathering and processing). We view this softening as temporary, however, as the long-term need for takeaway capacity and processing is significant and the geographical location of both resource and demand centers continues to evolve. We would also note that recent merger and acquisition activity in the exploration and production space for North American commodity resources by Asian buyers underscored the medium- to long-term demand for natural gas, crude oil, and commodity byproducts that will require infrastructure investment for some time to come. It is important to note the distinction between energy infrastructure company share prices, some of which were weak in the first half of 2012 – in particular within gas midstream – and the magnitude of their capital programs, which remained very robust.

As a final note, while the operating fundamentals (i.e., traffic) of European toll road companies have for the most part been weak for the first half of the year, current valuation levels are difficult to ignore. Current share prices imply a long-term cost of capital and/or indefinite weakness in traffic, which is difficult to justify despite the current financial and economic crises surrounding the countries in which these concessionaires are domiciled.

Performance Analysis

All share classes of Morgan Stanley Global Infrastructure Fund outperformed the Dow Jones Brookfield Global Infrastructure Index^SM (the “Index”) and the S&P Global BMI Index for the six months ended June 30, 2012, assuming no deduction of applicable sales charges.

For the first half of 2012, the Fund realized favorable performance from both bottom-up stock selection and top-down allocation. From a bottom-up perspective, the Fund benefited from stock selection in the gas distribution utilities, communications, European regulated utilities, and gas midstream sectors, but relative gains were partially offset by adverse selection in the pipeline companies sector. From a top-down perspective, the Fund benefited from an underweight to the gas midstream sector and overweights to the communications and gas distribution utilities sectors. This outperformance was partially offset by overweights to the toll roads and pipeline companies sectors.

We remain committed to our core investment philosophy as an infrastructure value investor. As value-oriented, bottom-up driven investors, our investment perspective is that over the medium and long term, the key factor in determining the performance of infrastructure securities will be underlying infrastructure asset values. Given the large and growing private infrastructure market, we believe that there are limits as to the level of premium or discount at which the public sector should trade relative to its underlying private infrastructure value. These limits can be viewed as the point at which the arbitrage opportunity between owning infrastructure in the private versus public markets becomes compelling. In aiming to achieve core infrastructure exposure in a cost effective manner, we invest in equity securities of publicly listed infrastructure companies we believe offer the best value relative to their underlying infrastructure value and Net Asset Value growth prospects.

Our research currently leads us to an overweighting in the Fund (amongst the largest sectors) to a group of

5

companies in the gas distribution utilities, communications, toll road, and pipeline companies sectors, and an underweighting to companies in the gas midstream and transmission and distribution sectors. Since our year-end commentary dated December 31, 2011, the only change from a sector perspective is that we now hold close to a market-weight position in the European regulated utilities sector.

Looking forward, we continue to believe the toll road sector presents an attractive opportunity from a valuation perspective, and we also like the secular growth stories within the communications sector and energy infrastructure sector – in particular, gas distribution utilities within Asia and pipeline companies within North America. For the more processing and fractionation-focused midstream companies, we remain underweight but believe they have become more attractively valued given the absolute declines observed in the first half of the year.

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

Investment Strategy

The Fund will normally invest at least 80 percent of its assets in equity securities issued by companies located throughout the world that are engaged in the infrastructure business. A company will be considered to be in the infrastructure business if it derives at least 50 percent of its revenues or earnings from, or devotes at least 50 percent of its assets to, infrastructure-related activities. Infrastructure refers to the systems and networks of energy, transportation, communication and other services required for the normal function of society. The Fund may invest up to 100 percent of its net assets in foreign securities, which may include emerging market securities. Under normal market conditions, the Fund invests at least 40 percent of its assets in the securities of issuers located outside of the United States. The Fund’s equity investments may include convertible securities.

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

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

** The maximum contingent deferred sales charge (CDSC) for Class B is 5.0%. The CDSC declines to 0% after six years. Effective April 2005, Class B shares will generally convert to Class A shares approximately eight years after the end of the calendar month in which the shares were purchased. Performance for periods greater than eight years reflects this conversion beginning December 31, 2006. Prior to December 31, 2006, the conversion feature was suspended because the annual total operating expense ratio of Class B was lower than that of Class A.

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

†† Class I has no sales charge.

††† The maximum contingent deferred sales charge (CDSC) for Class Q is 5.0%. The CDSC declines to 0% after six years. For periods greater than eight years, returns do not reflect conversion to Class A shares eight years after the end of the calendar month in which shares were purchased. The conversion feature is currently suspended because the total annual operating expense ratio of Class Q is currently lower than that of Class A. See “Conversion Feature” for Class Q shares in “Share Class Arrangements” of the Prospectus for more information. Class B commenced operations on April 29, 1988. On December 8, 2006, all then-existing Class B shares of the Fund (Pre-Conversion Class B) were converted into Class Q shares. Because the Pre-Conversion Class B shares were subject to the same level of fees and expenses applied to Class B shares, historical performance information prior to conversion date has been restated for Class Q shares to reflect this information. Performance information for Class B shares prior to December 8, 2006 reflects the performance of the Pre-Conversion Class B shares.

1) The Dow Jones Brookfield Global Infrastructure Index^SM is a float-adjusted market capitalization weighted index that measures the stock performance of companies that exhibit strong infrastructure characteristics. The index intends to measure all sectors of the infrastructure market. The Index was first published in July 2008, however, back-tested hypothetical performance

information is available for this Index since December 31, 2002. Returns are calculated using the return data of the S&P Global BMI Index through December 31, 2002 and the return data of the Dow Jones Brookfield Global Infrastructure Index^SM for periods thereafter. The Index is unmanaged and its returns do not include any sales charges or fees. Such costs would lower performance. It is not possible to invest directly in an index.

2) The Standard & Poor’s Global BMI Index (S&P Global BMI Index) is a broad market index designed to capture exposure to equities in all countries in the world that meet minimum size and liquidity requirements. As of the date of this Report, there are approximately 11,000 index members representing 26 developed and 20 emerging market countries. The Index is unmanaged and its returns do not include any sales charges or fees. Such costs would lower performance. It is not possible to invest directly in an index.

Expense Example (unaudited)

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

The example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period 01/01/12 – 06/30/12.

Actual Expenses

The first line of the table below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first line under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.

Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes

The second line of the table below provides information about hypothetical expenses based on the Fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund’s actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing cost of investing in the Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.

Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs, such as sales charges (loads). Therefore, the second line of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs, and will not help you determine the relative total cost of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

Investment Advisory Agreement Approval (unaudited)

Nature, Extent and Quality of Services

The Board reviewed and considered the nature and extent of the investment advisory services provided by the Investment Adviser (as defined herein) under the advisory agreement, including portfolio management, investment research and equity and fixed income securities trading. The Board reviewed similar information and factors regarding the Sub-Advisers (as defined herein), to the extent applicable. The Board also reviewed and considered the nature and extent of the non-advisory, administrative services provided by the Fund’s Administrator (as defined herein) under the administration agreement, including accounting, clerical, bookkeeping, compliance, business management and planning, and the provision of supplies, office space and utilities at the Investment Adviser’s expense. (The Investment Adviser, Sub-Advisers and Administrator together are referred to as the “Adviser” and the advisory, sub-advisory and administration agreements together are referred to as the “Management Agreement.”) The Board also compared the nature of the services provided by the Adviser with similar services provided by non-affiliated advisers as reported to the Board by Lipper, Inc. (“Lipper”).

The Board reviewed and considered the qualifications of the portfolio managers, the senior administrative managers and other key personnel of the Adviser who provide the administrative and advisory services to the Fund. The Board determined that the Adviser’s portfolio managers and key personnel are well qualified by education and/or training and experience to perform the services in an efficient and professional manner. The Board concluded that the nature and extent of the advisory and administrative services provided were necessary and appropriate for the conduct of the business and investment activities of the Fund and supported its decision to approve the Management Agreement.

Performance, Fees and Expenses of the Fund

The Board reviewed the performance, fees and expenses of the Fund compared to its peers, as determined by Lipper, and to appropriate benchmarks where applicable. The Board discussed with the Adviser the performance goals and the actual results achieved in managing the Fund. When considering a fund’s performance, the Board and the Adviser place emphasis on trends and longer-term returns (focusing on one-year, three-year and five-year performance, as of December 31, 2011, or since inception, as applicable). When a fund underperforms its benchmark and/or its peer group average, the Board and the Adviser discuss the causes of such underperformance and, where necessary, they discuss specific changes to investment strategy or investment personnel. The Board noted that the Fund’s performance was better than its peer group average for the one- and five-year periods but below its peer group average for the three-year period. The Board discussed with the Adviser the level of the advisory and administration fees (together, the “management fee”) for this Fund relative to comparable funds and/or other accounts advised by the Adviser

11

and/or compared to its peers as determined by Lipper. In addition to the management fee, the Board also reviewed the Fund’s total expense ratio. The Board noted that the Fund’s management fee and total expense ratio were lower than its peer group average. After discussion, the Board concluded that the Fund’s performance, management fee and total expense ratio were competitive with its peer group average.

Economies of Scale

The Board considered the size and growth prospects of the Fund and how that relates to the Fund’s total expense ratio and particularly the Fund’s management fee rate, which includes breakpoints. In conjunction with its review of the Adviser’s profitability, the Board discussed with the Adviser how a change in assets can affect the efficiency or effectiveness of managing the Fund and whether the management fee level is appropriate relative to current and projected asset levels and/or whether the management fee structure reflects economies of scale as asset levels change. The Board has determined that its review of the actual and potential economies of scale of the Fund supports its decision to approve the Management Agreement.

Profitability of the Adviser and Affiliates

The Board considered information concerning the costs incurred and profits realized by the Adviser and its affiliates during the last year from their relationship with the Fund and during the last two years from their relationship with the Morgan Stanley Fund Complex and reviewed with the Adviser the cost allocation methodology used to determine the profitability of the Adviser and affiliates. The Board has determined that its review of the analysis of the Adviser’s expenses and profitability supports its decision to approve the Management Agreement.

Other Benefits of the Relationship

The Board considered other benefits to the Adviser and its affiliates derived from their relationship with the Fund and other funds advised by the Adviser. These benefits may include, among other things, “float” benefits derived from handling of checks for purchases and sales, research received by the Adviser generated from commission dollars spent on funds’ portfolio trading and fees for distribution and/or shareholder servicing. The Board reviewed with the Adviser each of these arrangements and the reasonableness of the Adviser’s costs relative to the services performed. The Board has determined that its review of the other benefits received by the Adviser or its affiliates supports its decision to approve the Management Agreement.

Resources of the Adviser and Historical Relationship Between the Fund and the Adviser

The Board considered whether the Adviser is financially sound and has the resources necessary to perform its obligations under the Management Agreement. The Board also reviewed and considered the historical

12

relationship between the Fund and the Adviser, including the organizational structure of the Adviser, the policies and procedures formulated and adopted by the Adviser for managing the Fund’s operations and the Board’s confidence in the competence and integrity of the senior managers and key personnel of the Adviser. The Board concluded that the Adviser has the financial resources necessary to fulfill its obligations under the Management Agreement and that it is beneficial for the Fund to continue its relationship with the Adviser.

Other Factors and Current Trends

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

General Conclusion

After considering and weighing all of the above factors, the Board concluded that it would be in the best interest of the Fund and its shareholders to approve renewal of the Management Agreement for another year. In reaching this conclusion the Board did not give particular weight to any single factor referenced above. The Board considered these factors over the course of numerous meetings, some of which were in executive session with only the independent Board members and their counsel present. It is possible that individual Board members may have weighed these factors differently in reaching their individual decisions to approve the Management Agreement.

Notes to Financial StatementsⁿJune 30, 2012 (unaudited)

1. Organization and Accounting Policies

Morgan Stanley Global Infrastructure Fund (the “Fund”) is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “Act”), as a diversified, open-end management investment company. The Fund’s investment objective is to seek both capital appreciation and current income. The Fund was organized as a Massachusetts business trust on December 8, 1987 and commenced operations on April 29, 1988. On July 28, 1997, the Fund converted to a multiple class share structure.

The Fund offers Class A shares, Class B shares, Class C shares and Class I shares. The Fund’s Class Q shares are closed to new investments (except dividend reinvestments). The five classes are substantially the same except, most Class A shares are subject to a sales charge imposed at the time of purchase and some Class A shares, and most Class B shares, Class C shares and Class Q shares are subject to a contingent deferred sales charge imposed on shares redeemed within eighteen months, six years, one year and six years, respectively. Class I shares are not subject to a sales charge. Additionally, Class A shares, Class B shares, Class C shares and Class Q shares incur distribution expenses.

The following is a summary of significant accounting policies:

A. Valuation of Investments — (1) For equity securities traded on foreign exchanges, the latest reported sales price (or at the exchange official closing price if such exchange reports an official closing price) or the mean between the last reported bid and asked prices may be used if there were no sales on a particular day or the latest bid price may be used if only bid prices are available; (2) an equity portfolio security listed or traded on the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) or American Stock Exchange or other domestic exchange is valued at its latest sales price (or at the exchange official closing price if such exchange reports an official closing price) prior to the time when assets are valued; if there were no sales that day, the security is valued at the mean between the last reported bid and asked price; (3) an equity portfolio security listed or traded on the Nasdaq is valued at the Nasdaq Official Closing Price; if there were no sales that day, the security is valued at the mean between the last reported bid and asked price; (4) all other domestic securities for which over-the-counter market quotations are readily available are valued at the mean between the last reported bid and asked prices. In cases where a security is traded on more than one domestic exchange, the security is valued on the exchange designated as the primary market; (5) when market quotations are not readily available, including circumstances under which Morgan Stanley Investment Management Inc. (the “Adviser”) or Morgan Stanley Investment Management Limited or Morgan Stanley Investment Management Company (each, a “Sub-Adviser”), each a wholly owned subsidiary of Morgan Stanley, determines that the latest sale price, the bid price or the mean between the last reported bid and ask price do not reflect a security’s fair value, portfolio securities are valued at their fair value as determined in good faith under procedures established by and under the general supervision of the Fund’s Board of Trustees (the “Trustees”). Occasionally, developments affecting the closing prices of securities and other assets may occur between the times at which valuations of such securities are determined (that is, close of the foreign market on which the securities trade) and the close of business on the NYSE. If developments occur during such

20

Morgan Stanley Global Infrastructure Fund

Notes to Financial StatementsⁿJune 30, 2012 (unaudited)  continued

periods that are expected to materially affect the value of such securities, such valuations may be adjusted to reflect the estimated fair value of such securities as of the close of the NYSE, as determined in good faith by the Trustees or by the Adviser using a pricing service and/or procedures approved by the Trustees; (6) certain portfolio securities may be valued by an outside pricing service approved by the Trustees; (7) investments in mutual funds, including the Morgan Stanley Institutional Liquidity Funds, are valued at the net asset value as of the close of each business day; and (8) short-term debt securities having a maturity date of more than sixty days at time of purchase are valued on a mark-to-market basis until sixty days prior to maturity and thereafter at amortized cost based on their value on the 61st day. Short-term debt securities having a maturity date of sixty days or less at the time of purchase are valued at amortized cost, which approximates fair value.

Under procedures approved by the Trustees, the Fund’s Adviser has formed a Valuation Committee. The Valuation Committee provides administration and oversight of the Fund’s valuation policies and procedures, which are reviewed at least annually by the Trustees. Among other things, these procedures allow the Fund to utilize independent pricing services, quotations from securities and financial instrument dealers, and other market sources to determine fair value.

The Fund has procedures to determine the fair value of securities and other financial instruments for which market prices are not readily available. Under these procedures, the Valuation Committee convenes on a regular and adhoc basis to review such securities and considers a number of factors, including valuation methodologies and significant unobservable valuation inputs, when arriving at fair value. The Valuation Committee may employ a market-based approach which may use related or comparable assets or liabilities, recent transactions, market multiples, book values, and other relevant information for the investment to determine the fair value of the investment. An income-based valuation approach may also be used in which the anticipated future cash flows of the investment are discounted to calculate fair value. Discounts may also be applied due to the nature or duration of any restrictions on the disposition of the investments. Due to the inherent uncertainty of valuations of such investments, the fair values may differ significantly from the values that would have been used had an active market existed. The Valuation Committee employs various methods for calibrating these valuation approaches including a regular review of valuation methodologies, key inputs and assumptions, transactional back-testing or disposition analysis, and reviews of any related market activity.

B. Accounting for Investments — Security transactions are accounted for on the trade date (date the order to buy or sell is executed). Realized gains and losses on security transactions are determined by the identified cost method. Dividend income and other distributions are recorded on the ex-dividend date except for certain dividends on foreign securities which are recorded as soon as the Fund is informed after the ex-dividend date. Discounts are accreted and premiums are amortized over the life of the respective securities and are included in interest income. Interest income is accrued daily as earned.

21

Morgan Stanley Global Infrastructure Fund

Notes to Financial StatementsⁿJune 30, 2012 (unaudited)  continued

C. Multiple Class Allocations — Investment income, expenses (other than distribution fees), and realized and unrealized gains and losses are allocated to each class of shares based upon the relative net asset value on the date such items are recognized. Distribution fees are charged directly to the respective class.

D. Foreign Currency Translation — The books and records of the Fund are maintained in U.S. dollars as follows: (1) the foreign currency market value of investment securities, other assets and liabilities and foreign currency exchange contracts are translated at the exchange rates prevailing at the end of the period; and (2) purchases, sales, income and expenses are translated at the exchange rates prevailing on the respective dates of such transactions. The resultant exchange gains and losses are recorded as realized and unrealized gains/losses on foreign currency exchange contracts and foreign currency translations. Pursuant to U.S. federal income tax regulations, certain foreign exchange gains/losses included in realized and unrealized gains/losses are included in or are a reduction of ordinary income for federal income tax purposes. The Fund does not isolate that portion of the results of operations arising as a result of changes in the foreign exchange rates from the changes in the market prices of the securities held.

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

F. Use of Estimates — The preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts and disclosures. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

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

2. Fair Valuation Measurements

Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (“ASC 820”), defines fair value as the value that the Fund would receive to sell an investment or pay to transfer a liability in a timely transaction with an independent buyer in the principal market, or in the absence of a principal market the most advantageous market for the investment or liability. ASC 820 establishes a three-tier hierarchy to distinguish between (1) inputs that reflect the assumptions market participants would use in valuing an asset or liability developed based on market data obtained from sources independent of the reporting entity (observable inputs); and (2) inputs that reflect the reporting entity’s own assumptions about the assumptions market participants would use in valuing an asset or liability developed based on the best information available in the circumstances (unobservable inputs) and to establish

22

Morgan Stanley Global Infrastructure Fund

Notes to Financial StatementsⁿJune 30, 2012 (unaudited)  continued

classification of fair value measurements for disclosure purposes. Various inputs are used in determining the value of the Fund’s investments. The inputs are summarized in the three broad levels listed below.

• Level 1 — unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical investments

• Level 2 — other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar investments, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.)

• Level 3 — significant unobservable inputs including the Fund’s own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments. Factors considered in making this determination may include, but are not limited to, information obtained by contacting the issuer, analysts, or the appropriate stock exchange (for exchange-traded securities), analysis of the issuer’s financial statements or other available documents and, if necessary, available information concerning other securities in similar circumstances

The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities and the determination of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement in its entirety requires judgment and considers factors specific to each security.

The following is a summary of the inputs used to value the Fund’s investments as of June 30, 2012.

Total Assets	$	190,946,417	$	157,208,927	$	—	$	348,155,344

Transfers between investment levels may occur as the markets fluctuate and/or the availability of data used in an investment’s valuation changes. The Fund recognizes transfers between the levels as of the end of the period. As of June 30, 2012, securities with a total value of $157,117,588 transferred from Level 1 to Level 2. At June 30, 2012, the fair market value of certain securities were adjusted due to developments

which occurred between the time of the close of the foreign markets on which they trade and the close of business on the NYSE which resulted in their Level 2 classification.

Pursuant to an Investment Advisory Agreement, the Fund pays the Adviser an advisory fee, accrued daily and payable monthly, by applying the following annual rates to the net assets of the Fund determined at the close of each business day: 0.57% to the portion of the daily net assets not exceeding $500 million; 0.47% to the portion of the daily net assets exceeding $500 million but not exceeding $1 billion; 0.445% to the portion of the daily net assets exceeding $1 billion but not exceeding $1.5 billion; 0.42% to the portion of the daily net assets exceeding $1.5 billion but not exceeding $2.5 billion; 0.395% to the portion of the daily net assets exceeding $2.5 billion but not exceeding $3.5 billion; 0.37% to the portion of the daily net assets exceeding $3.5 billion but not exceeding $5 billion; and 0.345% to the portion of the daily net assets exceeding $5 billion.

Under the Sub-Advisory Agreement between the Adviser and the Sub-Advisers, the Sub-Advisers provide the Fund with investment advisory services, subject to the overall supervision of the Adviser and the Fund’s Officers and Trustees. The Adviser pays the Sub-Advisers on a monthly basis a portion of the net advisory fees the Adviser receives from the Fund.

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

Under a Sub-Administration Agreement between the Administrator and State Street Bank and Trust Company (“State Street”), State Street provides certain administrative services to the Fund. For such services, the Administrator pays State Street a portion of the fee the Administrator receives from the Fund.

4. Plan of Distribution

Shares of the Fund are distributed by Morgan Stanley Distribution, Inc. (the “Distributor”), an affiliate of the Adviser, Administrator and Sub-Advisers. The Fund has adopted a Plan of Distribution (the “Plan”) pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the Act. The Plan provides that the Fund will pay the Distributor a fee which is accrued daily and paid monthly at the following annual rates: (i) Class A — up to 0.25% of the average daily net assets of Class A shares; (ii) Class B — up to 1.00% of the average daily net assets of Class B shares; (iii) Class C — up to 1.00% of the average daily net assets of Class C shares; and (iv) Class Q — up to 0.26% of the average daily net assets of Class Q shares.

The Distributor has agreed to permanently cap the 12b-1 fee for the Class Q shares at 0.24% of the average daily net assets of Class Q. For the six months ended June 30, 2012, the distribution fee was accrued for Class Q shares at the annual rate of 0.24%.

In the case of Class B shares and Class Q shares, provided that the Plan continues in effect, any cumulative expenses incurred by the Distributor but not yet recovered may be recovered through the payment of future distribution fees from the Fund pursuant to the Plan and contingent deferred sales charges paid by investors upon redemption of Class B shares and Class Q shares. Although there is no legal obligation for the Fund to pay expenses incurred in excess of payments made to the Distributor under the Plan and the proceeds of contingent deferred sales charges paid by investors upon redemption of shares, if for any reason the Plan is terminated, the Trustees will consider at that time the manner in which to treat such expenses. The Distributor has advised the Fund that such excess amounts totaled $5,200,850 and $23,572, for Class B shares and Class Q shares respectively, at June 30, 2012.

For the six months ended June 30, 2012, the distribution fee was accrued for Class B at an annual rate of 1.00%.

In the case of Class A shares and Class C shares, expenses incurred pursuant to the Plan in any calendar year in excess of 0.25% or 1.00% of the average daily net assets of Class A shares or Class C shares, respectively, will not be reimbursed by the Fund through payments in any subsequent year, except that expenses representing a gross sales credit to Morgan Stanley Smith Barney Financial Advisors and other authorized financial representatives at the time of sale may be reimbursed in the subsequent calendar year. For the six months ended June 30, 2012, the distribution fee was accrued for Class A shares and Class C shares at the annual rate of 0.25% and 0.97%, respectively.

The Distributor has informed the Fund that for the six months ended June 30, 2012, it received contingent deferred sales charges from certain redemptions of the Fund’s Class B shares and Class C shares of $7,248 and $109, respectively and received $5,260 in front-end sales charges from sales of the Fund’s Class A shares. The respective shareholders pay such charges which are not an expense of the Fund.

5. Security Transactions and Transactions with Affiliates

The cost of purchases and proceeds from sales of investment securities, excluding short-term investments, for the six months ended June 30, 2012, aggregated $54,673,754 and $75,630,372, respectively.

The Fund invests in the Institutional Class of the Morgan Stanley Institutional Liquidity Funds (the “Liquidity Funds”), an open-end management investment company managed by the Adviser. Advisory fees paid by the Fund are reduced by an amount equal to its pro-rata share of the advisory and administration fees paid by the Fund due to its investment in the Liquidity Funds. For the six months ended June 30, 2012, advisory fees paid were reduced by $2,600 relating to the Fund’s investment in the Liquidity Funds.

Morgan Stanley Global Infrastructure Fund

Notes to Financial StatementsⁿJune 30, 2012 (unaudited)  continued

A summary of the Fund’s transactions in shares of the Liquidity Funds during the six months ended June 30, 2012 is as follows:

VALUE DECEMBER 31, 2011		PURCHASES AT COST		SALES		DIVIDEND INCOME		VALUE JUNE 30, 2012
$	5,594,417	$	41,519,796	$	41,901,967	$	2,777	$	5,212,246

For the six months ended June 30, 2012, the Fund incurred brokerage commissions of $1,673 with Morgan Stanley & Co., LLC, an affiliate of the Adviser, Sub-Advisers, Administrator and Distributor, for portfolio transactions executed on behalf of the Fund.

For the six months ended June 30, 2012, the Fund incurred brokerage commissions of $5,288 with Citigroup, Inc., and its affiliated broker-dealers, which may be deemed affiliates of the Adviser, Sub-Advisers, Administrator and Distributor under Section 17 of the Act, for portfolio transactions executed on behalf of the Fund.

Morgan Stanley Services Company Inc., an affiliate of the Adviser, Sub-Advisers and Distributor, is the Fund’s transfer agent.

The Fund has an unfunded noncontributory defined benefit pension plan covering certain independent Trustees of the Fund who will have served as independent Trustees for at least five years at the time of retirement. Benefits under this plan are based on factors which include years of service and compensation. The Trustees voted to close the plan to new participants and eliminate the future benefits growth due to increases to compensation after July 31, 2003. Aggregate pension costs for the six months ended June 30, 2012, included in “trustees’ fees and expenses” in the Statement of Operations amounted to $4,710. At June 30, 2012, the Fund had an accrued pension liability of $62,372, which is included in “accrued expenses and other payables” in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities.

The Fund has an unfunded Deferred Compensation Plan (the “Compensation Plan”), which allows each independent Trustee to defer payment of all, or a portion, of the fees he or she receives for serving on the Board of Trustees. Each eligible Trustee generally may elect to have the deferred amounts credited with a return equal to the total return on one or more of the Morgan Stanley funds that are offered as investment options under the Compensation Plan. Appreciation/depreciation and distributions received from these investments are recorded with an offsetting increase/decrease in the deferred compensation obligation and do not affect the net asset value of the Fund.

6. Federal Income Tax Status

It is the Fund’s intention to continue to qualify as a regulated investment company and distribute all of its taxable and tax-exempt income. Accordingly, no provision for Federal income taxes is required in the financial statements.

26

Morgan Stanley Global Infrastructure Fund

Notes to Financial StatementsⁿJune 30, 2012 (unaudited)  continued

Dividend income and distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Interest income is recognized on an accrual basis. Dividends from net investment income, if any, are declared and paid semiannually. Net realized capital gains, if any, are distributed at least annually.

The Fund may be subject to taxes imposed by countries in which it invests. Such taxes are generally based on income and/or capital gains earned or repatriated. Taxes are accrued based on net investment income, net realized gains and net unrealized appreciation as such income and/or gains are earned. Taxes may also be based on transactions in foreign currency and are accrued based on the value of investments denominated in such currency.

FASB ASC 740-10, Income Taxes — Overall, sets forth a minimum threshold for financial statement recognition of the benefit of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. Management has concluded there are no significant uncertain tax positions that would require recognition in the financial statements. If applicable, the Fund recognizes interest accrued related to unrecognized tax benefits in “Interest Expense” and penalties in “Other Expenses” in the Statement of Operations. The Fund files tax returns with the U.S. Internal Revenue Service, New York and various states. Each of the tax years in the four-year period ended December 31, 2011, remains subject to examination by taxing authorities.

The tax character of distributions paid may differ from the character of distributions shown in the Statements of Changes in Net Assets due to short-term capital gains being treated as ordinary income for tax purposes. The tax character of distributions paid during fiscal 2011 and 2010 was as follows:

2011 DISTRIBUTIONS PAID FROM:		2010 DISTRIBUTIONS PAID FROM:
ORDINARY INCOME	LONG-TERM CAPITAL GAIN	ORDINARY INCOME	LONG-TERM CAPITAL GAIN
$7,750,008	$7,948,422	$11,572,786	—

The amount and character of income and gains to be distributed are determined in accordance with income tax regulations which may differ from GAAP. These book/tax differences are either considered temporary or permanent in nature.

Temporary differences are primarily due to differing book and tax treatments in the timing of the recognition of gains (losses) on certain investment transactions and the timing of the deductibility of certain expenses.

Permanent differences, primarily due to differing treatments of gains (losses) related to foreign currency

transactions, nondeductible expenses and certain equity securities designated as issued by passive foreign investment companies, resulted in the following reclassifications among the Fund’s components of net assets at December 31, 2011:

DIVIDENDS IN EXCESS OF NET INVESTMENT INCOME	ACCUMULATED NET REALIZED GAIN	PAID-IN-CAPITAL
$(631,684)	$631,904	$(220)

At December 31, 2011, the components of distributable earnings for the Fund on a tax basis were as follows:

UNDISTRIBUTED ORDINARY INCOME	UNDISTRIBUTED LONG-TERM CAPITAL GAIN
—	$4,678,379

At June 30, 2012, the aggregate cost for federal income tax purposes approximates the aggregate cost for book purposes. The aggregate gross unrealized appreciation is $69,113,422 and the aggregate gross unrealized depreciation is $5,591,249 resulting in net unrealized appreciation of $63,522,173.

On December 22, 2010, the Regulated Investment Company Modernization Act of 2010 (the “Modernization Act”) was signed into law. The Modernization Act modernizes several tax provisions related to Regulated Investment Companies (“RICs”) and their shareholders. One key change made by the Modernization Act is that capital losses will generally retain their character as short-term or long-term and may be carried forward indefinitely to offset future gains. These losses are utilized before other capital loss carryforwards that expire. Generally, the Modernization Act is effective for taxable years beginning after December 22, 2010.

To the extent that capital loss carryforwards are used to offset any future capital gains realized during the carryover period as provided by U.S. Federal income tax regulations, no capital gains tax liability will be incurred by a Fund for gains realized and not distributed. To the extent that capital gains are offset, such gains will not be distributed to the shareholders. During the year ended December 31, 2011, the Fund utilized capital loss carryforwards for U.S. Federal income tax purposes of $16,998,007.

Capital losses and specified ordinary losses, including currency losses, incurred after October 31 but within the taxable year are deemed to arise on the first day of the Fund’s next taxable year. For the year ended December 31, 2011, the Fund deferred to January 1, 2012 for U.S. Federal income tax purposes the following losses:

POST-OCTOBER CURRENCY AND SPECIFIED ORDINARY LOSSES	POST-OCTOBER CAPITAL LOSSES
$264,502	—

7. Expense Offset

The Fund has entered into an arrangement with State Street (the “Custodian”), whereby credits realized on uninvested cash balances were used to offset a portion of the Fund’s expenses. If applicable, these custodian credits are shown as “expense offset” in the Statement of Operations.

8. Shares of Beneficial Interest

9. Accounting Pronouncement

In December 2011, FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2011-11, Balance Sheet: Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities. The pronouncement improves disclosures for recognized financial and derivative instruments that are either offset on the balance sheet in accordance with the offsetting guidance in ASC 210-20-45 or ASC 815-10-45 or are subject to an enforceable master netting agreements or similar. The Fund will be required to disclose information about rights to offset and related arrangements (such as collateral agreements) in order to enable financial statement users to understand the effect of those rights and arrangements on its financial position as well as disclose the following (1) gross amounts; (2) amounts offset in the statement of financial position; (3) any other amounts that can be offset in the event of bankruptcy, insolvency or default of any of the parties (including cash and noncash financial collateral); and (4) the Fund’s net exposure. The requirements are effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2013, and must be applied retrospectively. At this time, the Fund’s management is evaluating the implications of ASU 2011-11 and its impact, if any, on the financial statements.

U.S. Privacy Policy (unaudited)

An Important Notice Concerning Our U.S. Privacy Policy

This privacy notice describes the U.S. privacy policy of Morgan Stanley Distribution, Inc., and the Morgan Stanley family of mutual funds (“us”, “our”, “we”).

We are required by federal law to provide you with notice of our U.S. privacy policy (“Policy”). This Policy applies to both our current and former clients unless we state otherwise and is intended for individual clients who purchase products or receive services from us for personal, family or household purposes. This Policy is not applicable to partnerships, corporations, trusts or other non-individual clients or account holders, nor is this Policy applicable to individuals who are either beneficiaries of a trust for which we serve as trustee or participants in an employee benefit plan administered or advised by us. This Policy is, however, applicable to individuals who select us to be a custodian of securities or assets in individual retirement accounts, 401(k) accounts, or accounts subject to the Uniform Gifts to Minors Act.

This notice sets out our business practices to protect your privacy; how we collect and share personal information about you; and how you can limit our sharing or certain uses by others of this information. We may amend this Policy at any time, and will inform you of any changes to our Policy as required by law.

We Respect Your Privacy

We appreciate that you have provided us with your personal financial information and understand your concerns about your information. We strive to safeguard the information our clients entrust to us. Protecting the confidentiality and security of client information is an important part of how we conduct our business.

This notice describes what personal information we collect about you, how we collect it, when we may share it with others, and how certain others may use it. It discusses the steps you may take to limit our sharing of certain information about you with our affiliated companies, including, but not limited to our affiliated banking businesses, brokerage firms and credit service affiliates. It also discloses how you may limit our affiliates’ use of shared information for marketing purposes.

Throughout this Policy, we refer to the nonpublic information that personally identifies you as “personal information.” We also use the term “affiliated company” in this notice. An affiliated company is a company in our family of companies and includes companies with the Morgan Stanley name. These affiliated companies are financial institutions such as broker-dealers, banks, investment advisers and credit card issuers. We refer to any company that is not an affiliated company as a nonaffiliated third party. For purposes of Section 5 of this notice, and your ability to limit certain uses of personal information by our affiliates, this notice applies to the use of personal information by our affiliated companies.
