The remaining collateral of approximately $1,349,000 was received in the form of U.S. Government obligations, which the Fund cannot sell or re-pledge and accordingly are not reflected in the Portfolio of Investments. The Fund has the right under the securities lending agreement to recover the securities from the borrower on demand.

(i)

The Fund invests in the Institutional Class of the Morgan Stanley Institutional Liquidity Funds - Treasury Securities Portfolio - (the “Liquidity Funds”), an open-end management investment company managed by the Adviser, both directly and as a portion of the securities held as collateral on loaned securities. 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 three months ended March 29, 2018, advisory fees paid were reduced by approximately $15,000 relating to the Fund’s investment in the Liquidity Funds.

(j)

For the three months ended March 29, 2018, the Fund did not engage in any cross-trade transactions.

¤                                         March 29, 2018 represents the last business day of the Fund’s quarterly period.

(a)                                 Non-income producing security.

(b)                                 144A security — Certain conditions for public sale may exist. Unless otherwise noted, these securities are deemed to be liquid.

(c)                                  All or a portion of this security was on loan. The value of loaned securities and related collateral outstanding at March 29, 2018, were approximately $4,578,000 and $4,629,000, respectively. The Fund received cash collateral of approximately $4,440,000, which was subsequently invested in Repurchase Agreements and Morgan Stanley Institutional Liquidity Funds - Treasury Securities Portfolio - Institutional Class as reported in the Portfolio of Investments. The remaining collateral of approximately $189,000 was received in the form of U.S. Government obligations, which the Fund cannot sell or re-pledge and accordingly are not reflected in the Portfolio of Investments.  The Fund has the right under the securities lending agreement to recover the securities from the borrower on demand.

(d)                                 Security has been deemed illiquid at March 29, 2018.

(e)                                  Security cannot be offered for public resale without first being registered under the Securities Act of 1933 and related rules (“restricted security”). Acquisition date represents the day on which an enforceable right to acquire such security is obtained and is presented along with related cost in the security description. The Fund has registration rights for certain restricted securities. Any costs related to such registration are borne by the issuer. The aggregate value of restricted securities (excluding 144A holdings) at March 29, 2018, amounts to approximately $481,000 and represents 0.3% of net assets.

(f)                                   At March 29, 2018, the Fund held fair valued securities valued at approximately $418,000, representing 0.3% of net assets. These securities have been fair valued as determined in good faith under procedures established by and under the general supervision of the Company’s Directors.

(g)                                  The Fund invests in the Institutional Class of the Morgan Stanley Institutional Liquidity Funds - Treasury Securities Portfolio - (the “Liquidity Funds”), an open-end management investment company managed by the Adviser, both directly and as a portion of the securities held as collateral on loaned securities. 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 three months ended March 29, 2018, advisory fees paid were reduced by approximately $6,000 relating to the Fund’s investment in the Liquidity Funds.

(h)                                 The approximate fair value and percentage of net assets, $35,097,000 and 24.5%, respectively, represent the securities that have been fair valued under the fair valuation policy for international investments as described in the Notes to the Portfolio of Investments.

(i)                                     The Fund is permitted to purchase and sell securities (“cross-trade”) from and to other Morgan Stanley Funds as well as other funds and client accounts for which the Adviser or an affiliate of the Adviser serves as investment adviser, pursuant to procedures approved by the Directors in compliance with Rule 17a-7 under the Act (the “Rule”). Each cross-trade is executed at the current market price in compliance with provisions of the Rule. For the three months ended March 29, 2018, the Fund did not engage in any cross-trade transactions.

(j)                                    At March 29, 2018, the aggregate cost for federal income tax purposes approximates the aggregate cost for book purposes. The aggregate gross unrealized appreciation is approximately $14,745,000 and the aggregate gross unrealized depreciation is approximately $4,704,000, resulting in net unrealized appreciation of approximately $10,041,000.

The value of loaned securities and related collateral outstanding at March 29, 2018, were approximately $8,617,000 and $9,134,000, respectively. The Fund received cash collateral of approximately $8,903,000, which was subsequently invested in Repurchase Agreements and Morgan Stanley Institutional Liquidity Funds - Treasury Securities Portfolio - Institutional Class as reported in the Portfolio of Investments. The remaining collateral of approximately $231,000 was received in the form of U.S. Government obligations, which the Fund cannot sell or re-pledge and accordingly are not reflected in the Portfolio of Investments.  The Fund has the right under the securities lending agreement to recover the securities from the borrower on demand.

(c)                                  Security has been deemed illiquid at March 29, 2018.

(d)                                 Security cannot be offered for public resale without first being registered under the Securities Act of 1933 and related rules (“restricted security”). Acquisition date represents the day on which an enforceable right to acquire such security is obtained and is presented along with related cost in the security description. The Fund has registration rights for certain restricted securities. Any costs related to such registration are borne by the issuer. The aggregate value of restricted securities (excluding 144A holdings) at March 29, 2018, amounts to approximately $138,541,000 and represents 2.9% of net assets.

(f)                                   At March 29, 2018, the Fund held fair valued securities valued at approximately $130,708,000, representing 2.7% of net assets. These securities have been fair valued as determined in good faith under procedures established by and under the general supervision of the Company’s Directors.

(g)                                  The Fund invests in the Institutional Class of the Morgan Stanley Institutional Liquidity Funds - Treasury Securities Portfolio - (the “Liquidity Funds”), an open-end management investment company managed by the Adviser, both directly and as a portion of the securities held as collateral on loaned securities. 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 three months ended March 29, 2018, advisory fees paid were reduced by approximately $63,000 relating to the Fund’s investment in the Liquidity Funds.

(h)                                 The approximate fair value and percentage of net assets, $253,691,000 and 5.3%, respectively, represent the securities that have been fair valued under the fair valuation policy for international investments as described in the Notes to the Portfolio of Investments.

(i)                                     The Fund is permitted to purchase and sell securities (“cross-trade”) from and to other Morgan Stanley Funds as well as other funds and client accounts for which the Adviser or an affiliate of the Adviser serves as investment adviser, pursuant to procedures approved by the Directors in compliance with Rule 17a-7 under the Act (the “Rule”). Each cross-trade is executed at the current market price in compliance with provisions of the Rule.

(a)                                 Non-income producing security.

 



 

(b)                                 All or a portion of this security was on loan. The value of loaned securities and related collateral outstanding at March 29, 2018, were approximately $3,569,000 and $3,609,000, respectively. The Fund received cash collateral of approximately $736,000, which was subsequently invested in Repurchase Agreements and Morgan Stanley Institutional Liquidity Funds — Treasury Securities Portfolio - Institutional Class as reported in the Portfolio of Investments. The remaining collateral of approximately $2,873,000 was received in the form of U.S. Government obligations, which the Fund cannot sell or re-pledge and accordingly are not reflected in the Portfolio of Investments.  The Fund has the right under the securities lending agreement to recover the securities from the borrower on demand.

(c)                                  The Fund invests in the Institutional Class of the Morgan Stanley Institutional Liquidity Funds - Treasury Securities Portfolio - (the “Liquidity Funds”), an open-end management investment company managed by the Adviser, both directly and as a portion of the securities held as collateral on loaned securities. 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 three months ended March 29, 2018, advisory fees paid were reduced by approximately $12,000 relating to the Fund’s investment in the Liquidity Funds.

(d)                                 The approximate fair value and percentage of net assets, $4,572,000 and 4.2%, respectively, represent the securities that have been fair valued under the fair valuation policy for international investments as described in the Notes to the Portfolio of Investments.

(e)                                  The Fund is permitted to purchase and sell securities (“cross-trade”) from and to other Morgan Stanley Funds as well as other funds and client accounts for which the Adviser or an affiliate of the Adviser serves as investment adviser, pursuant to procedures approved by the Directors in compliance with Rule 17a-7 under the Act (the “Rule”). Each cross-trade is executed at the current market price in compliance with provisions of the Rule. For the three months ended March 29, 2018, the Fund did not engage in any cross-trade transactions.

(f)                                   At March 29, 2018, the aggregate cost for federal income tax purposes approximates the aggregate cost for book purposes. The aggregate gross unrealized appreciation is approximately $6,431,000 and the aggregate gross unrealized depreciation is approximately $3,151,000, resulting in net unrealized appreciation of approximately $3,280,000.

Notes to the Portfolio of Investments · March 29, 2018 (unaudited)

 

Security Valuation: (1) Certain portfolio securities may be valued by an outside pricing service/vendor approved by the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Directors”). The pricing service/vendor may employ a pricing model that takes into account, among other things, bids, yield spreads, and/or other market data and specific security characteristics. Alternatively, if a valuation is not available from an outside pricing service/vendor, and the security trades on an exchange, the security may be valued at its latest reported sale 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 are no sales on a given day and if there is no official exchange closing price for that day, the security is valued at the mean between the last reported bid and asked prices if such bid and asked prices are available in the relevant exchanges; (2) an equity portfolio security listed or traded on an exchange is valued at its latest reported sales price (or at the exchange official closing price if such exchange reports an official closing price), and if there were no sales on a given day and if there is no official exchange closing price for that day, the security is valued at the mean between the last reported bid and asked prices if such bid and asked prices are available on the relevant exchanges. Listed equity securities not traded on the valuation date with no reported bid and asked prices available on the exchange are valued at the mean between the current bid and asked prices obtained from one or more reputable brokers or dealers. In cases where a security is traded on more than one exchange, the security is valued on the exchange designated as the primary market; (3) all other equity portfolio securities for which over-the-counter (“OTC”) market quotations are readily available are valued at the latest reported sales price (or at the market official closing price if such market reports an official closing price), and if there was no trading in the security on a given day and if there is no official closing price from relevant markets for that day, the security is valued at the mean between the last reported bid and asked prices if such bid and asked prices are available on the relevant markets. An unlisted equity security that does not trade on the valuation date and for which bid and asked prices from the relevant markets are unavailable is valued at the mean between the current bid and asked prices obtained from one or more reputable brokers or dealers; (4) futures are valued at the settlement price on the exchange on which they trade or, if a settlement price is unavailable, at the last sale price on the exchange; (5) OTC swaps may be valued by an outside pricing service approved by the Directors or quotes from a broker or dealer. Swaps cleared on a clearinghouse or exchange may be valued using the closing price provided by the clearinghouse or exchange; (6) listed options are valued at the last reported sales price on the exchange on which they are listed (or at the exchange official closing price if such exchange reports an official closing price). If an official closing price or last reported sales price is unavailable, the listed option should be fair valued at the mean between its latest bid and ask prices. Unlisted options are valued at the mean between their latest bid and ask prices from a broker/dealer or valued by a pricing service/vendor; (7) when market quotations are not readily available, including circumstances under which Morgan Stanley Investment Management Inc. (the “Adviser”) or Morgan Stanley Investment Management Limited (“MSIM Limited”) and Morgan Stanley Investment Management Company (“MSIM Company”) (together, the “Sub-Advisers”), each a wholly-owned subsidiary of Morgan Stanley, determine that the closing price, last sale price or the mean between the last reported bid and asked prices are not reflective of a security’s market 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 Directors. 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 of the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”).  If developments occur during such 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 Directors or by the Adviser using a pricing service and/or procedures approved by the Directors; (8) quotations of foreign portfolio securities, other assets and liabilities and forward contracts stated in foreign currency are translated into U.S. dollar equivalents at the prevailing market rates prior to the close of the NYSE; and (9) 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.

 

The Directors have responsibility for determining in good faith the fair value of the investments, and the Directors may appoint others, such as the Company’s Adviser or a valuation committee, to assist the Directors in determining fair value and to make the actual calculations pursuant to the fair valuation methodologies previously approved by the Directors. Under procedures approved by the Directors, the Company’s Adviser has formed a Valuation

 



 

Committee whose members are approved by the Directors. The Valuation Committee provides administration and oversight of the Company’s valuation policies and procedures, which are reviewed at least annually by the Directors. These procedures allow the Company to utilize independent pricing services, quotations from securities and financial instrument dealers, and other market sources to determine fair value.

 

The Company 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 ad hoc 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.

 

Fair Value Measurement: Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards CodificationTM (“ASC”) 820, “Fair Value Measurement” (“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 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.

Transfers between investment levels may occur as the markets fluctuate and/or the availability of data used in an investment’s valuation changes. The Funds recognize transfers between the levels as of the end of the period. As of March 29, 2018, securities transferred from Level 1 to Level 2. Securities that were valued using unadjusted quoted prices at December 31, 2017, were valued using other significant observable inputs at March 29, 2018. At March 29, 2018, the fair 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. The values of the transfers were approximately as follows:
