Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the Partners and Board of Directors of

    Morgan Stanley Institutional Fund of Hedge Funds LP

We have audited the accompanying statement of assets, liabilities and partners’ capital of Morgan Stanley Institutional Fund of Hedge Funds LP (the “Partnership”), including the schedule of investments, as of December 31, 2005, and the related statements of operations and cash flows for the year then ended, and the statements of changes in partners’ capital for each of the two years in the period then ended. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Partnership’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. We were not engaged to perform an audit of the Partnership’s internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Partnership’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. Our procedures included confirmation of investments owned as of December 31, 2005, by correspondence with the custodian, management of the investment funds and others. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Morgan Stanley Institutional Fund of Hedge Funds LP at December 31, 2005, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the year then ended, and the changes in its partners’ capital for each of the two years in the period then ended, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

MORGAN STANLEY ALTERNATIVE INVESTMENT PARTNERS LP

Morgan Stanley Institutional Fund of Hedge Funds LP

Notes to Financial Statements

December 31, 2005

1. Organization

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

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

The Board has overall responsibility for monitoring and overseeing the Partnership’s investment program and its management and operations. A majority of the members of the Board are not “interested persons” (as defined by the 1940 Act) of the Partnership or the Adviser.

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

Notes to Financial Statements (continued)

1. Organization (continued)

Each repurchase offer by the Partnership is made with respect to Interests representing 5%-25% of the current net asset value of the Partnership. Subject to the approval of the Board, the Partnership makes such offers to repurchase Interests (or portions of them) from Limited Partners quarterly on each March 31, June 30, September 30 and December 31 (or, if any such date is not a business day, on the immediately preceding business day). In general, the Partnership initially pays at least 90% of the estimated value of the repurchased Interests (or portions of them) to Limited Partners within 30 days after the value of the Interests to be repurchased is determined, and the remaining amount is paid out promptly after completion of the annual audit of the Partnership and preparation of the Partnership’s audited financial statements.

2. Significant Accounting Policies

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

Portfolio Valuation

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

At December 31, 2005, 97.60% of the Partnership’s portfolio was comprised of investments in Investment Funds. Of the remainder of the portfolio, 2.40% was invested in a Eurodollar time deposit. The Board has approved procedures pursuant to which the Partnership values its investments in Investment Funds at fair value, which ordinarily will be the amount equal to the Partnership’s pro rata interest in the net assets of each such Investment Fund, as such value is supplied by the Investment Fund’s investment manager from time to time, usually monthly. Such valuations are net of management and performance incentive fees or allocations payable to the Investment Funds’ managers pursuant to the Investment Funds’ operating agreements. The Investment Funds value their underlying investments in accordance with policies established by each Investment Fund, as described in each of their financial statements and offering memoranda. The Partnership’s investments in Investment Funds are subject to the terms and conditions of the respective operating agreements and offering memoranda, as appropriate.

2. Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

Portfolio Valuation (continued)

Where no fair value is readily available from an Investment Fund or where a value supplied by an Investment Fund is deemed by the Adviser not to be indicative of its value, the Adviser will determine, in good faith, the fair value of the Investment Fund under procedures adopted by the Board and subject to Board supervision. In accordance with the Agreement, the Adviser values the Partnership’s assets based on such reasonably available relevant information as it considers material. Because of the inherent uncertainty of valuation, the values of the Partnership investments may differ significantly from the values that would have been used had a ready market for the investments held by the Partnership been available.

The Partnership’s investment in Lancer Partners, L.P. (“Lancer”), an Investment Fund, was fair valued in good faith by the Adviser as of December 31, 2005 at a value of $0, representing 0.00% of partners’ capital. The manager of Lancer has failed to deliver audited financial statements for Lancer for 2001, 2002, 2003 and 2004. In February 2003, the General Partner initiated a legal action against Lancer and its manager in the Superior Court of the State of Connecticut for access to the full books and records of Lancer. Subsequently, Lancer filed a petition for reorganization under Chapter 11 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code. The General Partner is a member of the creditors committee formed as part of that proceeding. On July 8, 2003, the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) instituted a civil action against Lancer, Lancer Management Group, LLC, Lancer Management Group II, LLC (Lancer’s general partner and fund manager, referred to with Lancer Management Group, LLC as “Lancer Management”), Michael Lauer (the principal of Lancer Management) as well as against other entities affiliated with Lauer. The SEC alleges that Lauer and Lancer Management made fraudulent misrepresentations to investors by, among other things, overstating the value of the funds and manipulating the price of shares of some of the companies in which Lancer invested. The SEC obtained a temporary restraining order which appointed a receiver for Lancer Management and granted other relief against Lancer Management and Lauer, while deferring to the bankruptcy court with respect to Lancer. Subsequently, the receiver advised the bankruptcy court that it was now in control of Lancer, that Lauer would not be contesting the preliminary injunction sought by the SEC, and that Lauer had agreed not to take any further action with respect to Lancer. It is anticipated that the receiver will evaluate the financial status of Lancer and, in consultation with the creditor and equity committees in the bankruptcy proceeding, propose a plan for winding up Lancer. The Partnership will continue to pursue its rights with regard to the bankruptcy action.

The Partnership’s investment in Safe Harbor Fund, L.P. (“Safe Harbor”), an Investment Fund, was fair valued in good faith by the Adviser as of December 31, 2005 at a value of $8,800,416, representing 0.44% of partners’ capital. Safe Harbor, formerly managed by Beacon Hill Asset Management LLC, was placed into receivership by order of the U.S. Federal District Court, Southern District of New York (the “District Court”), on September 16, 2003. Safe Harbor, along with two other funds, is a feeder fund of Beacon Hill Master, Ltd. (In Official Liquidation) (“Beacon Hill Master”). On January 30, 2004, the Grand Court of the Cayman Islands (the “Grand Court”) entered an order appointing two Joint Official

Liquidators (the “JOLs”) of Beacon Hill Master. One of the JOLs also serves as receiver for Safe Harbor. On November 10, 2005, the Grand Court issued directions that Beacon Hill Master should distribute its assets to its feeder funds according to the “Averaging Methodology,” which is based on an average of historical and restated NAVs. The receiver for Safe Harbor, the JOLs and the SEC are collectively working to draft a motion for a plan of distribution, to be approved by the District Court, that adopts the Averaging Methodology for the distribution of the assets of Beacon Hill Master and Safe Harbor. The Adviser has determined that the Averaging Methodology is the appropriate method to use as the basis for the fair value of the Partnership’s investment in Safe Harbor and has so valued such investment as of December 31, 2005. The ultimate value of the Partnership’s investment in Safe Harbor will not be determined until a final distribution methodology in respect of Safe Harbor is approved by the District Court and any potential liabilities associated with Safe Harbor and Beacon Hill Master are resolved. In particular, Safe Harbor’s fair value does not reflect any potential liabilities associated with either the liquidation of Beacon Hill Master or any pending action against Safe Harbor, Beacon Hill Master, their former investment manager or any party with a potential indemnification claim that succeeds against Safe Harbor or Beacon Hill Master.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The fair value of the Partnership’s assets and liabilities which qualify as financial instruments under Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 107, “Disclosures about Fair Values of Financial Instruments,” approximates the carrying amounts presented in the Statement of Assets, Liabilities and Partners’ Capital.

Income Recognition and Expenses

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

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

2. Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

Cash and Cash Equivalents

The Partnership treats all highly liquid financial instruments that have original maturities within 60 days of acquisition as cash equivalents. Cash equivalents are valued at cost plus accrued interest, which approximates fair value. All cash is invested overnight in a short-term time deposit with the Partnership’s custodian, State Street Bank and Trust Company.

Income and Withholding Taxes

No provision for federal, state, or local income taxes is provided in the financial statements. In accordance with the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, each of the Partners is to include its respective share of the Partnership’s realized profits or losses in its individual tax returns.

For the year ended December 31, 2005, in accordance with the accounting guidance provided in the AICPA Audit and Accounting Guide, “Audits of Investment Companies,” the Partnership reclassified $10,420,348 and $78,317,041 from accumulated net investment loss and accumulated net realized gain, respectively, to net capital subscriptions. This reclassification was to reflect, as an adjustment to net capital subscriptions, the amounts of taxable income or loss that have been allocated to the Partners and had no effect on net assets.

The Partnership is required to withhold U.S. tax from U.S. source dividends allocable to its foreign partners and to remit those amounts to the Internal Revenue Service. The rate of withholding is generally the rate at which the particular foreign partner is subject to U.S. federal income tax. The foreign partners are obligated to indemnify the Partnership for any taxes that the Partnership is required to withhold as well as any interest or penalties. During the year ended December 31, 2005, the Partnership withheld and paid taxes of $1,110,171, which is included in partner redemptions on the Statement of Changes in Partners’ Capital. This amount was specifically allocated to the capital accounts of the foreign partners who incurred the withholding.

If the Partnership is required to withhold U.S. or other applicable foreign tax with respect to the share of Partnership income allocable to any Partner, then the General Partner, without limitation of any other rights of the Partnership or the General Partner, will cause the amount of the obligation to be debited against the capital account of the Partner when the Partnership pays the obligation, and any amounts then or in the future distributable to the Partner will be reduced by the amount of the taxes. If the amount of the taxes is greater than any distributable amounts, then the Partner and any successor to the Partner’s Interest or portion of an Interest will pay to the Partnership as a capital subscription, upon demand by the General Partner, the amount of the excess.

Limitation of Limited Partner Liability

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

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

Effective November 1, 2004, under the terms of the Investment Advisory Agreement (the “Advisory Agreement”), as amended, between the Adviser and the Partnership, the Adviser receives a management fee for services provided to the Partnership, calculated and paid monthly at a rate of 0.046% (0.55% on an annualized basis) of the Partnership’s net assets as of the end of business on the last business day of each month, before adjustment for any redemptions effective on that day. For the year ended December 31, 2005, the Partnership incurred management fees of $10,308,415, of which $2,752,602 was payable to the Adviser at December 31, 2005. Prior to November 1, 2004, the management fee was calculated and paid at a monthly rate of 0.063% (0.75% on an annualized basis). For the year ended December 31, 2004, the Partnership incurred management fees of $9,089,381, of which $1,576,948 was payable to the Adviser at December 31, 2004.

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

The Partnership’s “Hurdle Rate” for a given Incentive Period is equal to 5% per annum plus the rate of return achieved by the Citi Three-Month U.S. Treasury Bill Index over the same Incentive Period. A Limited Partner’s “Hurdle Rate Amount” for a given Incentive Period is equal to the Hurdle Rate calculated for a given Incentive Period multiplied by the Limited Partner’s capital account balance as of the beginning of that Incentive Period. The Hurdle Rate is not cumulative and resets for each Incentive Period at the beginning of each such Incentive Period. The Performance Incentive is debited from each Limited Partner’s capital account and credited to the General Partner’s capital account at the end of each such Incentive Period. During the years ended December 31, 2005 and December 31, 2004, the Performance Incentive earned was $92,443 and $54,877, respectively, and is included in the Statements of Changes in Partners’ Capital.

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

State Street Bank and Trust Company (the “Administrator”) provides accounting and administrative services to the Partnership. Under an administrative services agreement, the Administrator is paid a fee computed and payable monthly at an annual rate of 0.0650% of the Partnership’s average monthly net assets, subject to an annual minimum of $158,400. In addition, the Partnership is charged for certain reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Administrator on its behalf.

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

At December 31, 2005, there was one Limited Partner, unaffiliated with Morgan Stanley, with a capital balance that represented approximately 54% of the Partnership’s capital and another Limited Partner, unaffiliated with Morgan Stanley, that invested in the Partnership indirectly through a related limited partnership, which had a capital balance that represented approximately 17% of the Partnership’s capital.

4. Financial Instruments with Off-Balance Sheet Risk

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

17

MORGAN STANLEY ALTERNATIVE INVESTMENT PARTNERS LP

Notes to Financial Statements (continued)

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

Options

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

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

The Partnership may purchase call and put options on stock indices listed on national securities exchanges or traded in the over-the-counter market for hedging purposes and non-hedging purposes in seeking to achieve its investment objective. A stock index fluctuates with changes in the market values of the stocks included in the index. Successful use of options on stock indexes will be subject to the Adviser’s ability to predict correctly movements in the direction of the stock market generally or of a particular industry or market segment, which requires different skills and techniques from those involved in predicting changes in the price of individual stocks. There were no option contracts outstanding as of December 31, 2005.

Swap Agreements

The Partnership may enter into equity, interest rate, index and currency rate swap agreements. These transactions will be undertaken in an attempt to obtain a particular return when the Adviser determines appropriate, possibly at a lower cost than if the Partnership had invested directly in the investment or instrument. Swap agreements are two-party contracts entered into primarily by institutional investors for periods ranging from a few weeks to more than a year. In a standard swap transaction, two parties agree to exchange the returns (or differentials in rates of returns) earned or realized on particular predetermined investments or instruments, which may be adjusted for an interest factor. The gross returns to be exchanged or “swapped” between the parties are generally calculated with respect to a “notional amount,”

Swap Agreements (continued)

that is, the return on or increase in value of a particular dollar amount invested at a particular interest rate, in a particular non-U.S. currency, in the value of an Investment Fund, or in a “basket” of securities representing a particular index. Effective January 1, 2004, the Partnership adopted the method of accounting for interim payments on swap contracts in accordance with clarification provided by the SEC to registered investment companies. The change in value of swaps, including the periodic amounts of interest to be paid or received on swaps, is reported as unrealized gains or losses in the Statement of Operations. Unrealized gains are reported as an asset and unrealized losses are reported as a liability on the Statement of Assets, Liabilities and Partners’ Capital. A realized gain or loss is recorded upon payment or receipt of a periodic payment or termination of swap agreements.

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

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

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

As of December 31, 2005, there were no swap contracts outstanding. Amounts representing the net realized value of settled swap contracts and the related cash collateral on deposit with the counterparty are included in due from broker on the Statement of Assets, Liabilities and Partners’ Capital.

5. Receivable for Investments Sold

As of December 31, 2005, $182,450,398 was due to the Partnership from Investment Funds, none of which are related parties. The receivable amount represents the fair value of each investment in Investment Funds net of management fees and incentive fees/allocations. Substantially all of these amounts, which were receivable from ten Investment Funds, were collected subsequent to the balance sheet date.

6. Contractual Obligations

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

7. Investments in Investment Funds

As of December 31, 2005, the Partnership invested primarily in Investment Funds, none of which were related parties of Morgan Stanley. The agreements related to investments in Investment Funds provide for compensation to the Investment Funds’ managers/general partners in the form of management fees ranging from 0.0% to 3.0% annually of net assets and performance incentive fees/allocations ranging from 20% to 30% of net profits earned.

At December 31, 2005, approximately 4.43% of the Partnership’s capital was invested in Investment Funds with lock-ups extending beyond one year from December 31, 2005.

Prepaid investments in Investment Funds represent amounts transferred to Investment Funds prior to year-end relating to investments to be made effective January 1, 2006, pursuant to each Investment Fund’s operating agreements.

For the year ended December 31, 2005, aggregate purchases and proceeds from sales of investments in Investment Funds were $595,500,000 and $625,574,962, respectively.

The cost of investments for Federal income tax purposes is adjusted for items of taxable income or loss allocated to the Partnership from the Investment Funds. The allocated taxable income or loss is reported to the Partnership by the Investment Funds on Schedules K-1. The Partnership has not yet received all such Schedules K-1 for the year ended December 31, 2005.

(a) Commencement of operations.

(b) Total return assumes a purchase of an interest in the Partnership at the beginning of the period indicated and a sale of the Partnership interest on the last day of the period indicated, after Performance Incentive, if any, to the General Partner.

(c) Impact of Performance Incentive represented less than 0.005%.

(d) Ratios do not reflect the Partnership’s proportionate share of the income and expenses of the Investment Funds.

(e) As of January 1, 2004, the Partnership adopted the method of accounting for interim payments on swap contracts in accordance with clarification provided by the SEC to registered investment companies. The Partnership has reclassified interim payments made under total return swap agreements. These interim payments are reflected within net realized loss and net change in unrealized appreciation on swap contracts on the Statement of Operations; however, prior to January 1, 2004, these interim payments were reflected within interest expense on the Statement of Operations. The effect of this change for the year ended December 31, 2004 was to decrease the ratio of net investment loss to average Limited Partners’ capital and to decrease the ratio of total expenses to average Limited Partners’ capital by 0.05% and 0.05%, respectively.

(f) Excludes impact of Performance Incentive.

The above ratios and total return have been calculated for the Limited Partners taken as a whole. An individual Limited Partner’s return and ratios may vary from these returns and ratios due to the timing of capital transactions and withholding tax allocation, as applicable.

9. Subsequent Events

From January 1, 2006 through February 21, 2006, the Partnership accepted approximately $39.5 million in additional subscriptions. The Partnership has also received tenders to repurchase Interests of approximately $1.5 million as of March 31, 2006.

MORGAN STANLEY ALTERNATIVE INVESTMENT PARTNERS LP

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

AUDIT COMMITTEE

AUDIT AND NON-AUDIT SERVICES

PRE-APPROVAL POLICY AND PROCEDURES

OF THE

MORGAN STANLEY RETAIL AND INSTITUTIONAL FUNDS

AS ADOPTED AND AMENDED JULY 23, 2004,¹

A. Statement of Principles

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

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

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

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

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

MORGAN STANLEY ALTERNATIVE INVESTMENT PARTNERS LP

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

B. Delegation

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

C. Audit Services

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

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

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

D. Audit-related Services

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

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

MORGAN STANLEY ALTERNATIVE INVESTMENT PARTNERS LP

E. Tax Services

The Audit Committee believes that the Independent Auditors can provide Tax services to the Fund and, to the extent they are Covered Services, the Covered Entities, such as tax compliance, tax planning and tax advice without impairing the auditor’s independence, and the SEC has stated that the Independent Auditors may provide such services.

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

F. All Other Services

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

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

G. Pre-Approval Fee Levels or Budgeted Amounts

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

H. Procedures

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

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

MORGAN STANLEY ALTERNATIVE INVESTMENT PARTNERS LP

I. Additional Requirements

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

J. Covered Entities

Covered Entities include the Fund’s investment adviser(s) and any entity controlling, controlled by or under common control with the Fund’s investment adviser(s) that provides ongoing services to the Fund(s). Beginning with non-audit service contracts entered into on or after May 6, 2003, the Fund’s audit committee must pre-approve non-audit services provided not only to the Fund but also to the Covered Entities if the engagements relate directly to the operations and financial reporting of the Fund. This list of Covered Entities would include:

MORGAN STANLEY INVESTMENT MANAGEMENT

PROXY VOTING POLICY AND PROCEDURES

I. POLICY STATEMENT

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

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

Proxy Research Services - Institutional Shareholder Services (“ISS”) and Glass Lewis (together with other proxy research providers as MSIM Affiliates may retain from time to time, the “Research Providers”) are independent advisers that specialize in providing a variety of fiduciary-level proxy-related services to institutional investment managers, plan sponsors, custodians, consultants, and other institutional investors. The services provided include in-depth research, global issuer analysis, and voting recommendations. While the MSIM Affiliates may review and utilize the recommendations of the Research Providers in making proxy voting decisions, they are in no way obligated to follow such recommendations. In addition to research, ISS provides vote execution, reporting, and recordkeeping. MSIM’s Proxy Review Committee (see Section IV.A. below) will carefully monitor and supervise the services provided by the Research Providers.

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

II. GENERAL PROXY VOTING GUIDELINES

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

III. GUIDELINES

A. Corporate Governance Matters. The following proposals will generally be voted as indicated below, unless otherwise determined by the Proxy Review Committee.

i. General.

1. Generally, routine management proposals will be supported. The following are examples of routine management proposals:

• Approval of financial statements, director and auditor reports.

• General updating/corrective amendments to the charter.

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

MORGAN STANLEY ALTERNATIVE INVESTMENT PARTNERS LP

2. Proposals to eliminate cumulative voting generally will be supported; proposals to establish cumulative voting in the election of directors will not be supported.

3. Proposals requiring confidential voting and independent tabulation of voting results will be supported.

4. Proposals requiring a U.S. company to have a separate Chairman and CEO will not be supported. Proposals requiring non-U.S. companies to have a separate Chairman and CEO will be supported.

5. Proposals by management of non-U.S. companies regarding items that are clearly related to the regular course of business will be supported.

6. Proposals to require the company to expense stock options will be supported.

7. Open-ended requests for adjournment generally will not be supported. However, where management specifically states the reason for requesting an adjournment and the requested adjournment is necessary to permit a proposal that would otherwise be supported under this Policy to be carried out (i.e. an uncontested corporate transaction), the adjournment request will be supported.

8. Proposals to declassify the Board of Directors (if management supports a classified board) generally will not be supported.

9. Proposal requiring that the company prepare reports that are costly to provide or that would require duplicative efforts or expenditures that are of a non-business nature or would provide no pertinent information from the perspective of institutional shareholders generally will not be supported.

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

1. The following proposals generally will be supported:

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

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

2. Unless otherwise determined by the Proxy Review Committee, a withhold vote will be made in the following circumstances:

(a) If a company’s board is not comprised of a majority of disinsterested directors, a withhold vote will be made for interested directors. A director nominee may be deemed to be interested if the nominee has, or any time during the previous five years had, a relationship with the issuer (e.g., investment banker, counsel or other professional service provider, or familial relationship with a senior officer of the issuer) that may impair his or her independence;

MORGAN STANLEY ALTERNATIVE INVESTMENT PARTNERS LP

(b) If a nominee who is interested is standing for election as a member of the company’s compensation, nominating or audit committees;

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

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

(e) A nominee has failed to attend at least 75% of board meetings within a given year without a reasonable excuse; or

(f) A nominee serves on the board of directors for more than six companies (excluding investment companies).

iii. Auditors

1. Generally, management proposals for selection or ratification of auditors will be supported. However, such proposals may not be supported if the audit fees are excessive. Generally, to determine if audit fees are excessive, a 50% test will be applied for audit fees in excess of $1 million: if audit fees are $1 million or more, non-audit fees should less than 50% of the total fees paid to the auditor. If audit fees are less than $1 million, the fees will be reviewed case by case by the Proxy Review Committee.

2. Proposals requiring auditors to attend the annual meeting of shareholders will be supported.

3. Proposals to indemnify auditors will not be supported.

iv. Anti-Takeover Matters

1. Proposals to modify or rescind existing supermajority vote requirements to amend the charter or bylaws will be supported; proposals to amend by-laws to require a supermajority shareholder vote to pass or repeal certain provisions will not be supported.

2. Proposals relating to the adoption of anti-greenmail provisions will be supported, provided that the proposal: (i) defines greenmail; (ii) prohibits buyback offers to large block holders (holders of at least 1% of the outstanding shares and in certain cases, a greater amount, as determined by the Proxy Review Committee) not made to all shareholders or not approved by disinterested shareholders; and (iii) contains no anti-takeover measures or other provisions restricting the rights of shareholders.

MORGAN STANLEY ALTERNATIVE INVESTMENT PARTNERS LP

3. Proposals requiring shareholder approval or ratification of a shareholder rights plan or poison pill will be supported.

B. Capitalization changes. The following proposals generally will be voted as indicated below, unless otherwise determined by the Proxy Review Committee.

1. The following proposals generally will be supported:

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

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

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

• Proposals for share repurchase plans.

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

• Proposals to effect stock splits.

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

2. The following proposals generally will not be supported (notwithstanding management support).

• Proposals relating to capitalization changes that add classes of stock which substantially dilute the voting interests of existing shareholders.

• Proposals to increase the authorized number of shares of existing classes of stock that carry preemptive rights or supervoting rights.

• Proposals to create “blank check” preferred stock.

• Proposals relating to changes in capitalization by 100% or more.

MORGAN STANLEY ALTERNATIVE INVESTMENT PARTNERS LP

C. Compensation. The following proposals generally will be voted as indicated below, unless otherwise determined by the Proxy Review Committee.

1. The following proposals generally will be supported:

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

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

• Proposals for the establishment of employee stock option plans and other employee ownership plans, provided that our research does not indicate that approval of the plan would be against shareholder interest.

• Proposals for the establishment of employee retirement and severance plans, provided that our research does not indicate that approval of the plan would be against shareholder interest.

2. Blanket proposals requiring shareholder approval of all severance agreements will not be supported, however, proposals that require shareholder approval for agreements in excess of three times the annual compensation (salary and bonus) generally will be supported.

3. Blanket proposals requiring shareholder approval of executive compensation generally will not be supported.

4. Proposals that request or require disclosure of executive compensation in addition to the disclosure required by the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) regulations generally will not be supported.

D. Other Recurring Items. The following proposals generally will be voted as indicated below, unless otherwise determined by the Proxy Review Committee.

Proposals to add restrictions related to social, political, environmental or special interest issues that do not relate directly to the business of the company and which do not appear to be directed specifically to the business or financial interest of the company generally will not be supported.

2. Proposals requiring adherence to workplace standards that are not required or customary in market(s) to which the proposals relate will not be supported.

MORGAN STANLEY ALTERNATIVE INVESTMENT PARTNERS LP

E. Items to be reviewed by the Proxy Review Committee

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

i. Corporate Transactions

• Proposals relating to mergers, acquisitions and other special corporate transactions (i.e., takeovers, spin-offs, sales of assets, reorganizations, restructurings and recapitalizations) will be examined on a case-by-case basis. In all cases, Research Providers’ research and analysis will be used along with MSIM Affiliates’ research and analysis, including, among other things, MSIM internal company-specific knowledge. Proposals for mergers or other significant transactions that are friendly, approved by the Research Providers, and where there is no portfolio manager objection, generally will be supported.

ii. Compensation

• Proposals relating to change-in-control provisions in non-salary compensation plans, employment contracts, and severance agreements that benefit management and would be costly to shareholders if triggered. With respect to proposals related to severance and change of control situations, MSIM Affiliates will support a maximum of three times salary and bonus.

• Proposals relating to Executive/Director stock option plans. Generally, stock option plans should be incentive based. The Proxy Review Committee will evaluate the quantitative criteria used by a Research Provider when considering such Research Provider’s recommendation. If the Proxy Review Committee determines that the criteria used by the Research Provider is reasonable, the proposal will be supported if it falls within a 5% band above the Research Provider’s threshold.

• Compensation proposals that allow for discounted stock options that have not been offered to employees in general.

iii. Other

• Proposals for higher dividend payouts.

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

• Proposals for election of directors, where a director nominee is related to MSIM (i.e. on an MSIM Fund’s Board of Directors/Trustees or part of MSIM senior management) must be considered by the Proxy Review Committee. If the proposal relates to a director nominee who is on a Van Kampen Fund’s Board of Directors/Trustees, to the extent that the shares of the relevant company are held by a Van Kampen Fund, the Van Kampen Board shall vote the proxies with respect to

MORGAN STANLEY ALTERNATIVE INVESTMENT PARTNERS LP

those shares, to the extent practicable. In the event that the Committee cannot contact the Van Kampen Board in advance of the shareholder meeting, the Committee will vote such shares pursuant to the Proxy Voting Policy.

• Proposals requiring diversity of board membership relating to broad based social, religious or ethnic groups.

• Proposals to limit directors’ liability and/or broaden indemnification of directors. Generally, the Proxy Review Committee will support such proposals provided that the officers and directors are eligible for indemnification and liability protection if they have acted in good faith on company business and were found innocent of any civil or criminal charges for duties performed on behalf of the company.

IV. ADMINISTRATION OF POLICY

A. Proxy Review Committee

1. The MSIM Proxy Review Committee (“Committee”) is responsible for creating and implementing the Policy and, in this regard, has expressly adopted it.

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

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

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

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

MORGAN STANLEY ALTERNATIVE INVESTMENT PARTNERS LP

team. The Committee may take into account Research Providers’ recommendations and research as well as any other relevant information they may request or receive, including portfolio manager and/or analyst research, as applicable. Generally, proxies related to securities held in accounts that are managed pursuant to quantitative, index or index-like strategies (“Index Strategies”) will be voted in the same manner as those held in actively managed accounts. Because accounts managed using Index Strategies are passively managed accounts, research from portfolio managers and/or analysts related to securities held in these accounts may not be available. If the affected securities are held only in accounts that are managed pursuant to Index Strategies, and the proxy relates to a matter that is not described in this Policy, the Committee will consider all available information from the Research Providers, and to the extent that the holdings are significant, from the portfolio managers and/or analysts.

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

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

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

MORGAN STANLEY ALTERNATIVE INVESTMENT PARTNERS LP

B. Identification of Material Conflicts of Interest

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

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

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

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

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

C. Proxy Voting Reports

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

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

(a)(2)(i-iii) Other Accounts Managed by the Portfolio Managers

Because the portfolio managers manage assets for other investment companies, pooled investment vehicles, and/or other accounts (including institutional clients, pension plans and certain high net worth individuals), there may be an incentive to favor one client over another resulting in conflicts of interest. For instance, the Adviser may receive fees from certain accounts that are higher than the fee it receives from the Fund, or it may receive a performance-based fee on certain accounts. In those instances, the portfolio managers may have an incentive to favor the higher and/or performance-based fee accounts over the Fund. The Adviser has adopted trade allocation and other policies and procedures that it believes are reasonably designed to address these and other conflicts of interest.

The following tables show information regarding accounts (other than the Fund) managed by each named portfolio manager as of December 31, 2005.

Mustafa A. Jama George A. Shows Jose F. Gonzalez-Heres Paresh Bhatt Richard J. Papetti	Number of Accounts	Total Assets in Accounts ($ billion)

(a)(2)(iv) Conflicts of Interests

THE ADVISER AND THE INVESTMENT MANAGERS

The Adviser also provides investment advisory and other services, directly and through affiliates, to various entities and accounts other than the Fund (“Adviser Accounts”). The Fund has no interest in these activities. The Adviser and the investment professionals who, on behalf of the Adviser, provide investment advisory services to the Fund are engaged in substantial activities other than on behalf of the Fund, may have differing economic interests in respect of such activities, and may have conflicts of interest in allocating their time and activity between the Fund and the Adviser Accounts. Such persons devote only so much time to the affairs of the Fund as in their judgment is necessary and appropriate.

Set out below are practices that the Adviser and may follow. Although the Adviser anticipates that Investment Managers will follow practices similar to those described below, no guarantee or assurances can be made that similar practices will be followed or that an Investment Manager will adhere to, and comply with, its stated practices.

PARTICIPATION IN INVESTMENT OPPORTUNITIES

The Adviser expects to employ an investment program for the Fund that is substantially similar to the investment program employed by it for certain Adviser Accounts. As a general matter, the Adviser will consider participation by the Fund in all appropriate investment opportunities that are under consideration for those Adviser Accounts. Similarly, the Adviser anticipates that each Investment Manager will consider participation by the Fund or an Investment Fund in which the Fund participates in all appropriate investment opportunities that are also under consideration for investment by the Investment Manager for Investment Funds and other accounts managed by the Investment Managers, other than the Fund (“Investment Manager Accounts”, and together with the Adviser Accounts, “Other Accounts”), that pursue investment programs similar to that of the Fund. There may be circumstances, however, under which the Adviser or Investment Manager will cause one or more Other Accounts to commit a larger percentage of their respective assets to an investment opportunity than to which the Adviser or Investment Manager will commit the Fund’s assets. There also may be circumstances under which the Adviser or Investment Manager will consider participation by Other Accounts in investment opportunities in which the Adviser or Investment Manager does not intend to invest on behalf of the Fund, or vice versa.

The Adviser evaluates for the Fund and for the Other Accounts a variety of factors that may be relevant in determining whether a particular investment opportunity or strategy is appropriate and feasible for the Fund or an Other Account at a particular time, including, but not limited to, the following: (1) the nature of the investment opportunity taken in the context of the other investments at the time; (2) the liquidity of the investment relative to the needs of the particular entity or account; (3) the availability of the opportunity (i.e., size of obtainable position); (4) the transaction costs involved; and (5) the investment or regulatory limitations applicable to the particular entity or account. Because these considerations may differ for the Fund and the Other Accounts in the context of any particular investment opportunity, the investment activities of the Fund and the Other Accounts may differ from time to time. In addition, the fees and expenses of the Fund differ from those of the Other Accounts. Accordingly, the future performance of the Fund and the Other Accounts will vary.

When the Adviser determines that it would be appropriate for the Fund and one or more Other Accounts to participate in an investment transaction in the same Investment Fund or other investment at the same

MORGAN STANLEY ALTERNATIVE INVESTMENT PARTNERS LP

time, it will attempt to aggregate, place and allocate orders on a basis that the Adviser believes to be fair and equitable, consistent with its responsibilities under applicable law. Decisions in this regard are necessarily subjective and there is no requirement that the Fund participate, or participate to the same extent as the Other Accounts, in all investments or trades. However, no participating entity or account will receive preferential treatment over any other and the Adviser will take steps to ensure that no participating entity or account will be systematically disadvantaged by the aggregation, placement and allocation of orders and investments.

Situations may occur, however, where the Fund could be disadvantaged because of the investment activities conducted by the Adviser or an Investment Manager for the Other Accounts. Such situations may be based on, among other things, the following: (1) legal restrictions or other limitations (including limitations imposed by Investment Managers with respect to Investment Funds) on the combined size of positions that may be taken for the Fund, or an Investment Fund in which the Fund participates and/or the Other Accounts, thereby limiting the size of the Fund’s or an Investment Fund’s position or the availability of the investment opportunity; (2) the difficulty of liquidating an investment for the Fund and the Other Accounts where the market cannot absorb the sale of the combined positions; and (3) the determination that a particular investment is warranted only if hedged with an option or other instrument and there is a limited availability of such options or other instruments. In particular, the Fund may be legally restricted from entering into a “joint transaction” (as defined in the 1940 Act) with the Other Accounts with respect to the securities of an issuer without first obtaining exemptive relief from the SEC. See “Other Matters” below.

Directors, principals, officers, employees and affiliates of the Adviser and each Investment Manager may buy and sell securities or other investments for their own accounts and may have actual or potential conflicts of interest with respect to investments made on behalf of the Fund or an Investment Fund in which the Fund participates. As a result of differing trading and investment strategies or constraints, positions may be taken by directors, principals, officers, employees and affiliates of the Adviser or an Investment Manager, or by the Adviser for the Other Accounts, that are the same as, different from or made at a different time than, positions taken for the Fund or an Investment Fund.

Investment Managers or their affiliates may from time to time provide investment advisory or other services to private investment funds and other entities or accounts managed by the Adviser or its affiliates. In addition, Investment Managers or their affiliates may from time to time receive research products and services in connection with the brokerage services that affiliates of the Adviser may provide to one or more Other Accounts or the Fund.

OTHER MATTERS

An Investment Manager may from time to time cause an Investment Fund to effect certain principal transactions in securities with one or more Other Accounts, subject to certain conditions. For example, these transactions may be made in circumstances in which the Investment Manager determined it was appropriate for the Investment Fund to purchase and an Other Account to sell, or the Investment Fund to sell and an Other Account to purchase, the same security or instrument on the same day. Future investment activities of the Investment Managers, or their affiliates, and the principals, partners, Trustees, officers or employees of the foregoing, may give rise to additional conflicts of interest.

The Adviser and its affiliates will not purchase securities or other property from, or sell securities or other property to, the Fund, except that the Fund may in accordance with rules under the 1940 Act engage in transactions with accounts that are affiliated with the Fund as a result of common officers, Trustees, advisers or managing general partners. These transactions would be effected in circumstances in which the Adviser determined that it would be appropriate for the Fund to purchase and another client to sell, or the Fund to sell and another client to purchase, the same security or instrument on the same day.

MORGAN STANLEY ALTERNATIVE INVESTMENT PARTNERS LP

Future investment activities of the Adviser and its affiliates and their principals, partners, Trustees, officers or employees may give rise to conflicts of interest other than those described above.

(a)(3) Portfolio Manager Compensation Structure

Portfolio managers receive a combination of base compensation and discretionary compensation, comprising a cash bonus and several deferred compensation programs described below. The methodology used to determine portfolio manager compensation is applied across all accounts managed by the portfolio manager.

Base salary compensation. Generally, portfolio managers receive base salary compensation based on the level of their position with the Adviser.

Discretionary compensation. In addition to base compensation, portfolio managers may receive discretionary compensation. Components of discretionary compensation may include:

• Cash Bonus;

• Deferred Compensation

Morgan Stanley’s Equity Incentive Compensation Program (EICP) awards – a mandatory program that defers a portion of discretionary year-end compensation into restricted stock units or other awards based on Morgan Stanley common stock that are subject to vesting and other conditions;

• Investment Management Deferred Compensation Plan (IMDCP) awards – a mandatory program that defers a portion of discretionary year-end compensation and notionally allocates it to designated funds advised by the Adviser or its affiliates. The awards are subject to vesting and other conditions;

• Voluntary Deferred Compensation Plans - voluntary programs that permit certain employees to elect to defer a portion of their discretionary year-end compensation and directly or notionally invest the deferred amount: (1) across a range of designated investment funds, including funds advised by the Adviser or its affiliates; and/or (2) in Morgan Stanley stock units.

Several factors determine discretionary compensation, which can vary by portfolio management team and circumstances. In order of relative importance, these factors typically include:

• Investment performance. A portfolio manager’s compensation is linked to the pre-tax investment performance of the funds/accounts managed by the portfolio manager.

• Revenues generated by the investment companies, pooled investment vehicles and other accounts managed by the portfolio manager.

MORGAN STANLEY ALTERNATIVE INVESTMENT PARTNERS LP

• Contribution to the business objectives of the Adviser.

• The dollar amount of assets managed by the portfolio manager.

• Market compensation survey research by independent third parties.

• Other qualitative factors, such as contributions to client objectives.

• Performance of Morgan Stanley and Morgan Stanley Investment Management, and the overall performance of the Alternative Investment Partners, a department within Morgan Stanley Investment Management that includes all investment professionals.

EX-99.CODE ETH

MORGAN STANLEY ALTERNATIVE INVESTMENT PARTNERS LP

Exhibit (a)

CODE OF ETHICS FOR PRINCIPAL EXECUTIVE AND SENIOR FINANCIAL OFFICERS

ADOPTED SEPTEMBER 28, 2004, AS AMENDED SEPTEMBER 20, 2005

II. This Code of Ethics (the “Code”) for the investment companies within the Morgan Stanley complex identified in Exhibit A (collectively, “Funds” and each, a “Fund”) applies to each Fund’s Principal Executive Officer, President, Principal Financial Officer and Treasurer (or persons performing similar functions) (“Covered Officers” each of whom are set forth in Exhibit B) for the purpose of promoting:

A. honest and ethical conduct, including the ethical handling of actual or apparent conflicts of interest between personal and professional relationships.

B. full, fair, accurate, timely and understandable disclosure in reports and documents that a company files with, or submits to, the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and in other public communications made by the Fund;

C. compliance with applicable laws and governmental rules and regulations;

D. prompt internal reporting of violations of the Code to an appropriate person or persons identified in the Code; and

E. accountability for adherence to the Code.

Each Covered Officer should adhere to a high standard of business ethics and should be sensitive to situations that may give rise to actual as well as apparent conflicts of interest. Any question about the application of the Code should be referred to the General Counsel or his/her designee (who is set forth in Exhibit C).

III. Covered Officers Should Handle Ethically Actual and Apparent Conflicts of Interest

Overview. A “conflict of interest” occurs when a Covered Officer’s private interest interferes, or appears to interfere, with the interests of, or his service to, the Fund. For example, a conflict of interest would arise if a Covered Officer, or a member of his family, receives improper personal benefits as a result of his position with the Fund.

Certain conflicts of interest arise out of the relationships between Covered Officers and the Fund and already are subject to conflict of interest provisions in the Investment Company Act of 1940 (“Investment Company Act”) and the Investment Advisers Act of 1940 (“Investment Advisers Act”). For example, Covered Officers may not individually engage in certain transactions (such as the purchase or sale of securities or other property) with the Fund because of their status as “affiliated persons” (as defined in the Investment Company Act) of the Fund. The Fund’s and its investment adviser’s compliance programs and procedures are designed to prevent, or identify and correct, violations of these provisions. This Code does not, and is not intended to, repeat or replace these programs and procedures, and such conflicts fall outside the parameters of this Code, unless or until the General Counsel determines that any violation of such programs and procedures is also a violation of this Code.

1

MORGAN STANLEY ALTERNATIVE INVESTMENT PARTNERS LP

Although typically not presenting an opportunity for improper personal benefit, conflicts may arise from, or as a result of, the contractual relationship between the Fund and its investment adviser of which the Covered Officers are also officers or employees. As a result, this Code recognizes that the Covered Officers will, in the normal course of their duties (whether formally for the Fund or for the investment adviser, or for both), be involved in establishing policies and implementing decisions that will have different effects on the Fund and its investment adviser. The participation of the Covered Officers in such activities is inherent in the contractual relationship between the Fund and the investment adviser and is consistent with the performance by the Covered Officers of their duties as officers of the Fund. Thus, if performed in conformity with the provisions of the Investment Company Act and the Investment Advisers Act, such activities will be deemed to have been handled ethically. In addition, it is recognized by the Funds’ Boards of Directors/Trustees (“Boards”) that the Covered Officers may also be officers or employees of one or more other investment companies covered by this or other codes.

Other conflicts of interest are covered by the Code, even if such conflicts of interest are not subject to provisions in the Investment Company Act and the Investment Advisers Act. The following list provides examples of conflicts of interest under the Code, but Covered Officers should keep in mind that these examples are not exhaustive. The overarching principle is that the personal interest of a Covered Officer should not be placed improperly before the interest of the Fund.

Each Covered Officer must not:

A. use his personal influence or personal relationships improperly to influence investment decisions or financial reporting by the Fund whereby the Covered Officer would benefit personally (directly or indirectly);

B. cause the Fund to take action, or fail to take action, for the individual personal benefit of the Covered Officer rather than the benefit of the Fund; or

C. use material non-public knowledge of portfolio transactions made or contemplated for, or actions proposed to be taken by, the Fund to trade personally or cause others to trade personally in contemplation of the market effect of such transactions.

Each Covered Officer must, at the time of signing this Code, report to the General Counsel all affiliations or significant business relationships outside the Morgan Stanley complex and must update the report annually.

Conflict of interest situations should always be approved by the General Counsel and communicated to the relevant Fund or Fund’s Board. Any activity or relationship that would present such a conflict for a Covered Officer would likely also present a conflict for the Covered Officer if an immediate member of the Covered Officer’s family living in the same household engages in such an activity or has such a relationship. Examples of these include:

D. service or significant business relationships as a director on the board of any public or private company;

E. accepting directly or indirectly, anything of value, including gifts and gratuities in excess of $100 per year from any person or entity with which the Fund has current or prospective business dealings, not including occasional meals or tickets for theatre or sporting events or other similar entertainment; provided it is business-related, reasonable in cost, appropriate as to time and place, and not so frequent as to raise any question of impropriety;

2

MORGAN STANLEY ALTERNATIVE INVESTMENT PARTNERS LP

F. any ownership interest in, or any consulting or employment relationship with, any of the Fund’s service providers, other than its investment adviser, principal underwriter, or any affiliated person thereof; and

G. a direct or indirect financial interest in commissions, transaction charges or spreads paid by the Fund for effecting portfolio transactions or for selling or redeeming shares other than an interest arising from the Covered Officer’s employment, such as compensation or equity ownership.

IV. Disclosure and Compliance

A. Each Covered Officer should familiarize himself/herself with the disclosure and compliance requirements generally applicable to the Funds;

B. each Covered Officer must not knowingly misrepresent, or cause others to misrepresent, facts about the Fund to others, whether within or outside the Fund, including to the Fund’s Directors/Trustees and auditors, or to governmental regulators and self-regulatory organizations;

C. each Covered Officer should, to the extent appropriate within his area of responsibility, consult with other officers and employees of the Funds and their investment advisers with the goal of promoting full, fair, accurate, timely and understandable disclosure in the reports and documents the Funds file with, or submit to, the SEC and in other public communications made by the Funds; and

D. it is the responsibility of each Covered Officer to promote compliance with the standards and restrictions imposed by applicable laws, rules and regulations.

V. Reporting and Accountability

Each Covered Officer must:

A. upon adoption of the Code (thereafter as applicable, upon becoming a Covered Officer), affirm in writing to the Boards that he has received, read and understands the Code;

B. annually thereafter affirm to the Boards that he has complied with the requirements of the Code;

C. not retaliate against any other Covered Officer, other officer or any employee of the Funds or their affiliated persons for reports of potential violations that are made in good faith; and

D. notify the General Counsel promptly if he/she knows or suspects of any violation of this Code. Failure to do so is itself a violation of this Code.

3

MORGAN STANLEY ALTERNATIVE INVESTMENT PARTNERS LP

The General Counsel is responsible for applying this Code to specific situations in which questions are presented under it and has the authority to interpret this Code in any particular situation. However, any waivers² sought by a Covered Officer must be considered by the Board of the relevant Fund or Funds.

The Funds will follow these procedures in investigating and enforcing this Code:

E. the General Counsel will take all appropriate action to investigate any potential violations reported to him;

F. if, after such investigation, the General Counsel believes that no violation has occurred, the General Counsel is not required to take any further action;

G. any matter that the General Counsel believes is a violation will be reported to the relevant Fund’s Audit Committee;

H. if the directors/trustees/managing general partners who are not “interested persons” as defined by the Investment Company Act (the “Independent Directors/Trustees/Managing General Partners”) of the relevant Fund concur that a violation has occurred, they will consider appropriate action, which may include review of, and appropriate modifications to, applicable policies and procedures; notification to appropriate personnel of the investment adviser or its board; or a recommendation to dismiss the Covered Officer or other appropriate disciplinary actions;

I. the Independent Directors/Trustees/Managing General Partners of the relevant Fund will be responsible for granting waivers of this Code, as appropriate; and

J. any changes to or waivers of this Code will, to the extent required, be disclosed as provided by SEC rules.

VI. Other Policies and Procedures

This Code shall be the sole code of ethics adopted by the Funds for purposes of Section 406 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 and the rules and forms applicable to registered investment companies thereunder. Insofar as other policies or procedures of the Funds, the Funds’ investment advisers, principal underwriters, or other service providers govern or purport to govern the behavior or activities of the Covered Officers who are subject to this Code, they are superseded by this Code to the extent that they overlap or conflict with the provisions of this Code unless any provision of this Code conflicts with any applicable federal or state law, in which case the requirements of such law will govern. The Funds’ and their investment advisers’ and principal underwriters’ codes of ethics under Rule 17j-1 under the Investment Company Act and Morgan Stanley’s Code of Ethics are separate requirements applying to the Covered Officers and others, and are not part of this Code.

VII. Amendments

Any amendments to this Code, other than amendments to Exhibits A, B or C, must be approved or ratified by a majority vote of the Board of each Fund, including a majority of Independent Directors/Trustees/Managing General Partners.

² Item 2 of Form N-CSR defines "waiver" as "the approval by the registrant of a material departure from a provision of the code of ethics.”

MORGAN STANLEY ALTERNATIVE INVESTMENT PARTNERS LP

VIII. Confidentiality

All reports and records prepared or maintained pursuant to this Code will be considered confidential and shall be maintained and protected accordingly. Except as otherwise required by law or this Code, such matters shall not be disclosed to anyone other than the Independent Directors/Trustees/Managing General Partners of the relevant Fund or Funds and their counsel, the relevant Fund or Funds and their counsel and the relevant investment adviser and its counsel.

IX. Internal Use

The Code is intended solely for the internal use by the Funds and does not constitute an admission, by or on behalf of any Fund, as to any fact, circumstance, or legal conclusion

I have read and understand the terms of the above Code. I recognize the responsibilities and obligations incurred by me as a result of my being subject to the Code. I hereby agree to abide by the above Code.
