Item 1 - Report to Shareholders

 



Welcome, Shareholder:

In this report, you'll learn about how your investment in Morgan Stanley Total Market Index Fund performed during the semiannual period. We will provide an overview of the market conditions, and discuss some of the factors that affected performance during the reporting period. In addition, this report includes the Fund's financial statements and a list of Fund investments.

This material must be preceded or accompanied by a prospectus for the fund being offered.

Market forecasts provided in this report may not necessarily come to pass. There is no assurance that the Fund will achieve its investment objective. The Fund is subject to market risk, which is the possibility that market values of securities owned by the Fund will decline and, therefore, the value of the Fund's shares may be less than what you paid for them. Accordingly, you can lose money investing in this Fund. Please see the prospectus for more complete information on investment risks.

The performance of the Fund's four 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

For the six-months ended January 31, 2008, the broad U.S. stock market declined as worries about the condition of the U.S. economy led to considerable volatility. By the third quarter of 2007, the subprime mortgage market's troubles spilled into the credit market and the broader economy. A tightening in credit standards, mortgage lender bankruptcies and hedge fund implosions were followed by multi-billion dollar losses reported at several large financial institutions in the fourth quarter. At the same time, a cross current of unfavorable data buffeted the market, indicating a languishing housing market, declining consumer spending, rising oil prices and negative year-over-year corporate profit growth.

The Federal Open Market Committee (the "Fed") responded to the turbulence by lowering its target federal funds rate five times between September and January. Although the quick action by the Fed did bolster investor confidence at times, rallies were short-lived as negative economic news continued to pummel the market. Gross domestic product (GDP) growth slowed to 0.6% in the fourth quarter, down from 4.9% in the third quarter. Weak manufacturing and employment data released in January showed further evidence of a much slower economy, and rising commodity prices and a weak U.S. dollar contributed to mounting inflationary pressures. By the end of the period, the probability of recession appeared very high, although the potential length and severity continued to be debated.

Performance Analysis

All share classes of Morgan Stanley Total Market Index Fund underperformed the Dow Jones Wilshire 5000 Composite Index (the "Index") and outperformed the Lipper Multi-Cap Core Funds Index for the six months ended January 31, 2008, assuming no deduction of applicable sales charges.

The weakest performing sectors in the Index and the Fund for the period were consumer discretionary, telecommunication services and financials. With consumer spending levels already slowing and the deteriorating housing market hampering the prospects for future consumer spending, the consumer discretionary sector was hit hard, particularly in the retail, automobiles, media and household durables segments. The telecommunication services sector, which represents a relatively small sector in the Fund and Index, was dragged down by declining returns from both the diversified telecommunications and wireless


2



telecommunications industries during the period. Finally, the financials sector suffered losses across the board, with those stocks exposed to the mortgage and real estate businesses being the primary areas of weakness, including thrifts and mortgage finance, real estate management and development, and consumer finance.

However, the Fund and Index achieved positive returns in other sectors. The utilities sector benefited from its electric and gas utilities segments, which gained pricing power from high energy prices. Within the consumer staples sector, the tobacco, household products and beverages industries were standout performers. Moreover, because the consumer staples sector is traditionally viewed as a "defensive" area of the market — that is, a sector that can generate earnings regardless of economic environment — investors favored the sector during the period. The materials sector was the third highest returning sector, due to strong performance from the chemicals group.

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 Dow Jones Wilshire 5000 Composite Index consists of substantially all of the stocks which are actively traded in the United States (currently, approximately 5,000). The Index consists of large capitalization, mid capitalization and small capitalization stocks. Because the Index is weighted by float-adjusted market capitalizations, currently large capitalization stocks in the Index represent approximately 85 percent of its value. The Index may include some foreign companies. The Fund will normally invest at least 80 percent of its assets in stocks included in the Index.

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/msim 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, and Class D shares will vary due to differences in sales charges and expenses.

*  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.

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

††  Class D has no sales charge.

(1)  The Dow Jones Wilshire 5000 (float adj) Composite Index measures the performance of all U.S. headquartered equity securities and is the best measure of the entire U.S. stock market. Over 5,000 capitalization weighted security returns are used to adjust the Index. The Index is weighted by float-adjusted market capitalization. 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 Lipper Multi-Cap Core Funds Index is an equally weighted performance index of the largest qualifying funds (based on net assets) in the Lipper Multi-Cap Core Funds classification. The Index, which is adjusted for capital gains distributions and income dividends, is unmanaged and should not be considered an investment. There are currently 30 funds represented in this Index. The Fund is in the Lipper Multi-Cap Core Funds classification as of the date of this report.

(3)  Figure shown assumes reinvestment of all distributions and does not reflect the deduction of any sales charges.

(4)  Figure shown assumes reinvestment of all distributions and the deduction of the maximum applicable sales charge. See the Fund's current prospectus for complete details on fees and sales charges.

Expense Example

As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) on purchase payments and redemption fees; 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 08/01/07 – 01/31/08.

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) and redemption fees. 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.

    Beginning

    08/01/07   01/31/08   08/01/07 –
01/31/08
 
Class A  
Actual (-4.72% return)   $ 1,000.00     $ 952.80     $ 3.04    
Hypothetical (5% annual return before expenses)   $ 1,000.00     $ 1,022.02     $ 3.15    
Class B  
Actual (-5.00% return)   $ 1,000.00     $ 950.00     $ 6.86    
Hypothetical (5% annual return before expenses)   $ 1,000.00     $ 1,018.10     $ 7.10    
Class C  
Actual (-5.00% return)   $ 1,000.00     $ 950.00     $ 6.86    
Hypothetical (5% annual return before expenses)   $ 1,000.00     $ 1,018.10     $ 7.10    
Class D  
Actual (-4.60% return)   $ 1,000.00     $ 954.00     $ 1.96    
Hypothetical (5% annual return before expenses)   $ 1,000.00     $ 1,023.13     $ 2.03    

 

*  Expenses are equal to the Fund's annualized expense ratios of 0.62%, 1.40%, 1.40% and 0.40% for Class A, Class B, Class C and Class D shares, respectively, multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 184/366 (to reflect the one-half year period). If the Fund had borne all its expenses, the annualized expense ratios would have been 0.77%, 1.54%, 1.54% and 0.54% for Class A, Class B, Class C and Class D, respectively.

Morgan Stanley Total Market Index Fund

Notes to Financial Statements  n  January 31, 2008 (unaudited)

1. Organization and Accounting Policies

Morgan Stanley Total Market Index 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 provide investment results that, before expenses, correspond to the total return of the Dow Jones Wilshire 5000 Composite Index (the "Index"). The Fund was organized as a Massachusetts business trust on March 11, 1999 and commenced operations on September 28, 1999.

The Fund offers Class A shares, Class B shares, Class C shares and Class D shares. The four classes are substantially the same except that 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 and Class C shares are subject to a contingent deferred sales charge imposed on shares redeemed within eighteen months, six years and one year, respectively. Class D shares are not subject to a sales charge. Additionally, Class A shares, Class B shares and Class C shares incur distribution expenses.

The Fund will assess a 2% redemption fee, on Class A shares, Class B shares, Class C shares, and Class D shares, which is paid directly to the Fund, for shares redeemed or exchanged within seven days of purchase, subject to certain exceptions. The redemption fee is designed to protect the Fund and its remaining shareholders from the effects of short-term trading.

The following is a summary of significant accounting policies:

A. Valuation of Investments — (1) an equity portfolio security listed or traded on the New York Stock Exchange ("NYSE") or American Stock Exchange or other exchange is valued at its latest sale 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; (2) 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; (3) all other portfolio securities for which over-the-counter market quotations are readily available are valued at the mean between the last reported bid and asked price. In cases where a security is traded on more than one exchange, the security is valued on the exchange designated as the primary market; (4) for equity securities traded on foreign exchanges, the last reported sale price or the latest bid price may be used if there were no sales on a particular day; (5) futures are valued at the latest price published by the commodities exchange on which they trade; (6) when market quotations are not readily available including circumstances under which Morgan Stanley Investment Advisors Inc. (the "Investment Adviser") determines that the latest sale price, the bid price or the mean between the last reported bid and asked price do not reflect 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 Fund's Trustees. Occasionally, developments affecting the closing prices of securities and other assets


41



Morgan Stanley Total Market Index Fund

Notes to Financial Statements  n  January 31, 2008 (unaudited) continued

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 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 Fund's Trustees or by the Investment Adviser using a pricing service and/or procedures approved by the Trustees of the Fund; (7) certain portfolio securities may be valued by an outside pricing service approved by the Fund's Trustees; (8) investments in open-end 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 (9) 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.

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. 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.

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. Futures Contracts — A futures contract is an agreement between two parties to buy and sell financial instruments or contracts based on financial indices at a set price on a future date. Upon entering into such a contract, the Fund is required to pledge to the broker cash, U.S. Government securities or other liquid portfolio securities equal to the minimum initial margin requirements of the applicable futures exchange. Pursuant to the contract, the Fund agrees to receive from or pay to the broker an amount of cash equal to the daily fluctuation in the value of the contract. Such receipts or payments known as variation margin are recorded by the Fund as unrealized gains and losses. Upon closing of the contract, the Fund realizes a gain or loss equal to the difference between the value of the contract at the time it was opened and the value at the time it was closed.

E. Federal Income Tax Policy — It is the Fund's policy to comply with the requirements of Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code applicable to regulated investment companies and to distribute substantially all of its taxable income to its shareholders. Therefore, no provision for federal income taxes is required. The Fund files tax returns with the U.S. Internal Revenue Service, New York State and New York City. The Fund adopted the provisions of the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") Interpretation No. 48 ("FIN


42



Morgan Stanley Total Market Index Fund

Notes to Financial Statements  n  January 31, 2008 (unaudited) continued

48") Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes on June 29, 2007. FIN 48 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. The implementation of FIN 48 did not result in any unrecognized tax benefits in the accompanying 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. Each of the tax years in the four year period ended January 31, 2008, remains subject to examination by taxing authorities.

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

G. Use of Estimates — The preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts and disclosures. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

2. Investment Advisory/Administration Agreements

Pursuant to an Investment Advisory Agreement, the Fund pays the Investment Adviser an advisory fee, accrued daily and payable monthly, by applying the following annual rates to the net asset of the Fund determined as of the close of each business day: 0.12% to the portion of the daily net assets not exceeding $2 billion and 0.10% to the portion of the daily net assets in excess of $2 billion.

Pursuant to an Administration Agreement with Morgan Stanley Services Company Inc. (the "Administrator"), an affiliate of the Investment Adviser, 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 an 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.

The Investment Adviser has agreed to cap the Fund's operating expenses (except for brokerage and 12b-1 fees) by assuming the Fund's other expenses" and/or waiving the Fund's Advisory fees, and the Administrator has agreed to waive the Fund's administrative fees, to the extent that such operating expenses exceed 0.40% of the average daily net assets of the Fund on an annualized basis.

3. Plan of Distribution

Shares of the Fund are distributed by Morgan Stanley Distributors Inc. (the "Distributor"), an affiliate of the Investment Adviser and Administrator. 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

Morgan Stanley Total Market Index Fund

Notes to Financial Statements  n  January 31, 2008 (unaudited) continued

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 1.0% of the average daily net assets of Class B shares; and (iii) Class C — up to 1.0% of the average daily net assets of Class C shares.

In the case of Class B 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. 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 $9,929,633 at January 31, 2008.

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 1.0% of the average daily net assets of Class A or Class C, 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 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 January 31, 2008, the distribution fee was accrued for Class A shares and Class C shares at the annual rate of 0.22% and 1.00%, respectively.

The Distributor has informed the Fund that for the six months ended January 31, 2008, it received contingent deferred sales charges from certain redemptions of the Fund's Class B shares and Class C shares of $30,855 and $504 , respectively and received $9,154 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.

4. Security Transactions and Transactions with Affiliates

The Fund invests in Morgan Stanley Institutional Liquidity Money Market Portfolio — Institutional Class, an open-ended management investment company managed by the Investment Adviser. Advisory fees paid by the Fund are reduced by an amount equal to the advisory and administrative service fees paid by Morgan Stanley Institutional Liquidity Money Market Portfolio — Institutional Class with respect to assets invested by the Fund in Morgan Stanley Institutional Liquidity Money Market Portfolio — Institutional Class. For the six months ended January 31, 2008, advisory fees paid were reduced by $1,866 relating to the Fund's investment in Morgan Stanley Institutional Liquidity Money Market Portfolio — Institutional Class. Income distributions earned by the Fund are recorded as dividends from affiliate in the Statement of Operations and totaled $72,980 for the six months ended January 31, 2008. During the six months ended January 31, 2008, cost of purchases and sales of


44



Morgan Stanley Total Market Index Fund

Notes to Financial Statements  n  January 31, 2008 (unaudited) continued

investments in Morgan Stanley Institutional Liquidity Money Market Portfolio — Institutional Class aggregated $8,684,324 and $9,876,560, respectively.

The cost of purchases and proceeds from sales of portfolio securities, excluding short-term investments, for the six months ended January 31, 2008 aggregated $155,743 and $2,528,520, respectively.

During the period ended January 31, 2008, the Fund did not have any purchases or sales of Morgan Stanley common stock.

Morgan Stanley Trust, an affiliate of Investment Adviser, Administrator and Distributor, is the Fund's transfer agent.

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.

5. Expense Offset

The expense offset represents a reduction of the fees and expenses for interest earned on cash balances maintained by the Fund with the transfer agent.

6. Federal Income Tax Status

The amount of dividends and distributions from net investment income and net realized capital gains are determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations which may differ from generally accepted accounting principles. These "book/tax" differences are either considered temporary or permanent in nature. To the extent these differences are permanent in nature, such amounts are reclassified within the capital accounts based on their federal tax-basis treatment; temporary differences do not require reclassification. Dividends and distributions which exceed net investment income and net realized capital gains for tax purposes are reported as distributions of paid-in-capital.

As of July 31, 2007, the Fund had a net capital loss carryforward of $47,331,764 of which $3,637,150 will expire on July 31, 2010, $32,841,558 will expire on July 31, 2011 and $10,853,056 will expire on July 31, 2012 to offset future capital gains to the extent provided by regulations.

Morgan Stanley Total Market Index Fund

Notes to Financial Statements  n  January 31, 2008 (unaudited) continued

As of July 31, 2007, the Fund had temporary book/tax differences primarily attributable to capital loss deferrals on wash sales, the mark-to market of open futures contracts and tax adjustments on real estate investment trust ("REITs") and partnership investments held by the Fund.

8. Purposes of and Risks Relating to Certain Financial Instruments

To hedge against adverse interest rate, foreign currency and market risks, the Fund may purchase and sell interest rate, currency and index futures ("futures contracts").

Futures contracts involve elements of market risk in excess of the amount reflected in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. The Fund bears the risk of an unfavorable change in the value of the underlying


46



Morgan Stanley Total Market Index Fund

Notes to Financial Statements  n  January 31, 2008 (unaudited) continued

securities. Risks may also arise upon entering into these contracts from the potential inability of the counterparties to meet the terms of their contracts.

9. Accounting Pronouncement

In September 2006, Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157, Fair Value Measurements (SFAS 157), was issued and is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. SFAS 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. Management is currently evaluating the impact the adoption of SFAS 157 will have on the Fund's financial statement disclosures.
