§  Amount is less than 0.005%.

The non-subsidized yield reflects what the yield would have been had a fee and/or expense waiver not been in place during the period shown.

Performance data quoted represents past performance, which is no guarantee of future results, and current performance may be lower or higher than the figures shown. Performance information for the 7-day effective yield assumes that all dividends and distributions, if any, were reinvested. For the most recent month-end performance figures, please visit www.morganstanley.com/liquidity. Investment returns will fluctuate causing portfolio shares, when redeemed, to be worth more or less than their original cost. Total returns do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on portfolio distributions or the redemption of portfolio shares.

Investments in the Money Market, Prime, Government, Government Securities, Treasury, Treasury Securities and Tax-Exempt Portfolios (the "Portfolios") are neither insured nor guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation. Although the Portfolios seek to preserve the value of your investment at $1.00 per share, it is possible to lose money by investing in these Portfolios. Please read MSILF's prospectuses carefully before you invest or send money.

The Tax-Exempt Portfolio may invest a portion of its total assets in bonds that may subject certain investors to the federal Alternative Minimum Tax (AMT). Investors should consult their tax adviser for further information on tax implications.

Yield quotation more closely reflects the current earnings of the Portfolios than the total return. As with all money market portfolios, yields will fluctuate as market conditions change and the seven-day yields are not necessarily indicative of future performance.

2013 Annual Report

October 31, 2013

Expense Examples (unaudited)

As a shareholder of a Portfolio, you incur ongoing costs, including advisory fees, administration plan fees, service and shareholder administration plan fees, distribution plan fees, shareholder services fees, and other Portfolio expenses. These examples are intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in each Portfolio and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.

These examples are based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the six-month period ended October 31, 2013 and held for the entire six-month period.

Actual Expenses

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

Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes

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

Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only. Therefore, the information for each class in the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs, and will not help you determine the relative total cost of owning different funds that have transactional costs, such as sales charges (loads) or exchanges fees.

Investment Advisory Agreement Approval (unaudited)

Nature, Extent and Quality of Services

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

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

Performance, Fees and Expenses of the Portfolios

The Board reviewed the performance, fees and expenses of the Portfolios compared to their peers, as determined by Lipper, and to appropriate benchmarks where applicable. The Board discussed with the Adviser the performance goals and the actual results achieved in managing the Portfolios. When considering a fund's performance, the Board and the Adviser place emphasis on trends and longer-term returns (focusing on one-year, three-year and five-year performance as of December 31, 2012, or since inception, as applicable). When a fund underperforms its benchmark and/or its peer group average, the Board and the Adviser discuss the causes of such underperformance and, where necessary, they discuss specific changes to investment strategy or investment personnel.

Performance

The Board noted that the performances of the Money Market, Prime, Government and Treasury Portfolios were better than the peer group averages for the one-, three- and five-year periods.

With respect to the Government Securities Portfolio, the Board noted that the performance was equal to its peer group average for the one- and three-year periods but below its peer group average for the period since March 2008, the month of the Portfolio's inception.

With respect to the Treasury Securities Portfolio, the Board noted that the performance was equal to its peer group average for the one- and three-year periods and the period since October 2008, the month of the Portfolio's inception.

With respect to the Tax-Exempt Portfolio, the Board noted that the performance was equal to its peer group average for the one-year period and better than its peer group average for the three- and five-year periods.

Performance Conclusions

With respect to the all of the Portfolios (except the Government Securities Portfolio), after discussion, the Board concluded that performance was competitive with the peer group averages.

With respect to the Government Securities Portfolio, after discussion, the Board concluded that performance was acceptable.

Fees and Expenses

The Board members discussed with the Adviser the level of the advisory and administration fees (together, the "management fee") for the Portfolios relative to comparable funds and/or other accounts advised by the Adviser and/or compared to their peers as determined by Lipper. In addition to the management fee, the Board also reviewed the Portfolios' total expense ratios. When a portfolio's management fee and/or its total expense ratio are higher than its peers, the Board and the Adviser discuss the reasons for this and, where appropriate, they discuss possible waivers and/or caps.

2013 Annual Report

October 31, 2013

Investment Advisory Agreement Approval (unaudited) (cont'd)

The Board noted that the management fees and total expense ratios for Money Market, Prime Government Securities and Tax-Exempt Portfolios were lower than the peer group averages.

With respect to the Government Portfolio, the Board noted that the management fee was higher but close to its peer group average and the total expense ratio was lower than its peer group average.

With respect to the Treasury Portfolio, the Board noted that the management fee and total expense ratio were higher than its peer group average.

With respect to the Treasury Securities Portfolio, the Board noted that the management fee was equal to its peer group average and the total expense ratio was lower than its peer group average.

Fee and Expense Conclusion

With respect to all of the Portfolios (except the Treasury Portfolio), after discussion, the Board concluded that the management fees and total expense ratios were competitive with the peer group averages.

With respect to the Treasury Portfolio, after discussion, the Board concluded that the management fee and total expense ratio were acceptable.

Economies of Scale

The Board considered the size and growth prospects of the Portfolios and how that relates to the Portfolios' total expense ratios and particularly the Portfolios' management fee rates (which, for all the Portfolios do not include breakpoints). In conjunction with its review of the Adviser's profitability, the Board discussed with the Adviser how a change in assets can affect the efficiency or effectiveness of managing the Portfolios and whether the management fee level is appropriate relative to current and projected asset levels and/or whether the management fee structure reflects economies of scale as asset levels change. The Board has determined that its review of the actual and potential economies of scale of each Portfolio supports its decision to approve the Management Agreement.

Profitability of the Adviser and Affiliates

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

Other Benefits of the Relationship

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

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

The Board considered whether the Adviser is financially sound and has the resources necessary to perform its obligations under the Management Agreement. The Board also reviewed and considered the historical relationship between the Portfolios and the Adviser, including the organizational structure of the Adviser, the policies and procedures formulated and adopted by the Adviser for managing the Portfolios' operations and the Board's confidence in the competence and integrity of the senior managers and key personnel of the Adviser. The Board concluded that the Adviser has the financial resources necessary to fulfill its obligations under the Management Agreement and that it is beneficial for the Portfolios to continue their relationship with the Adviser.

Other Factors and Current Trends

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

General Conclusion

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

2013 Annual Report

October 31, 2013

Investment Overview (unaudited)

Money Market Portfolio

The Money Market Portfolio seeks preservation of capital, daily liquidity and maximum current income. The Portfolio seeks to maintain a stable net asset value of $1.00 per share by investing in liquid, high quality U.S. dollar-denominated money market instruments of U.S. and foreign financial and non-financial corporations. The Portfolio also invests in obligations of foreign governments and in obligations issued or guaranteed by the U.S. government and its agencies and instrumentalities.

Performance

For the fiscal year ended October 31, 2013, the Portfolio's Institutional Share Class had a total return of 0.10%. For the seven-day period ended October 31, 2013, the Portfolio's Institutional Share Class provided an annualized current yield of 0.06% (subsidized) and 0.00% (non-subsidized), while its 30-day moving average annualized yield was 0.07% (subsidized) and 0.00% (non-subsidized). Yield quotation more closely reflects the current earnings of the Portfolio than the total return. The non-subsidized yield reflects what the yield would have been had a fee and/or expense waiver not been in place during the period shown. Past performance is no guarantee of future results.

Factors Affecting Performance

•  Overall economic growth in the U.S. was moderate during the 12-month reporting period. Gross domestic product (GDP) growth averaged 1.6 percent, by our calculations, over the past four calendar quarters (ended September 30, 2013), but the economy posted significant gains in the most recent two quarters.(1) The second quarter growth rate was 2.5 percent, revised upward from an initial reading of only 1.7 percent, and the third quarter growth rate was 2.8 percent, higher than market expectations of 2 percent. This put average growth for 2013 so far on a firmer footing of 2.1 percent, which was remarkable given that sequestration (automatic federal budget cuts and payroll tax increases that went into effect earlier in 2013) has been a drag on the economy this year. However, this impact is likely to diminish as the year progresses.

•  Average monthly job gains strengthened in the fourth quarter of 2012 and into the first quarter 2013.(2) Average job growth in the second quarter wasn't quite as robust, at 182,000. Third quarter average monthly job gains fell to 163,000 but October job gains came in at 204,000, higher than market expectations. That said, October data may

be called into question as survey periods were compromised and missing data were estimated because of the government shutdown. Notwithstanding, the unemployment rate gradually declined over much of the period, from 7.8 percent in September 2012 to 7.3 percent in October 2013. However, the rate itself still is elevated and will continue to be a focus of Federal Reserve (Fed) policy, although it is creeping closer to the 7.0 percent threshold that the Fed has established for ending its latest quantitative easing (QE) program.

•  Market sentiment focused on several regulatory developments during the period. The first was the possible expiration of Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC)-insured, non-interest bearing transaction accounts (TAG) at the end of 2012. Ultimately, Congress did not act to extend the program and FDIC insurance for these accounts expired on December 31, 2012, leaving account holders with direct bank risk as opposed to FDIC (government) risk. While TAG account holders faced many factors that influenced their decision whether to hold bank credit risk or not, market data suggests that a large portion of the accounts remained uninsured post TAG expiration.

•  The market's other regulatory concern during the period centered on the Fed's unconventional stimulus programs, "Operation Twist" and its third round of QE. As expected, the Twist program ended in December 2012 and was replaced/supplemented by additional purchases of $45 billion per month of Treasury securities on top of its previously announced $40 billion per month of mortgage-backed securities purchases. Also at its December meeting, the Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) changed from calendar-based guidance to economic data guidance, dropping the pledge to keep the target fed funds rate exceptionally low until mid-2015 and replacing it with data-based triggers. Namely, the Fed plans to keep rates exceptionally low as long as the unemployment rate is above 6.5 percent and inflation remains below 2.5 percent.

•  The January 2013 FOMC meeting minutes proved to be somewhat "hawkish" (a more aggressive stance about inflation and interest rates), focusing on balance sheet expansion and the need to be prepared to alter the size of the Fed's monthly QE purchases, possibly with a tapering approach. However, in his semi-annual testimony to Congress,

2013 Annual Report

October 31, 2013

Investment Overview (unaudited) (cont'd)

Money Market Portfolio

Chairman Bernanke had a more "dovish" tone (favoring a slower approach toward inflation and interest rates) and reiterated his commitment to QE until substantial labor market improvements are seen. In June, long-term interest rates rose sharply following comments from Chairman Bernanke indicating the Fed may start to scale back the QE program this year and end it in mid-2014 if the Fed is confident economic gains can be sustained.

•  In September, the FOMC did not reduce its asset purchase program, much to the markets' surprise, stating that it would await more evidence of sustained economic progress before adjusting from the current pace of $85 billion per month and that all decisions will be data dependent. The Fed is now likely to push back the timing of tapering due to the aforementioned government shutdown, the subsequent delayed economic data, and the shaken market confidence. The October FOMC meeting passed rather uneventfully as easy policy measures remained in place. With the nomination of Janet Yellen as the next Fed chair, dovish policy is likely to continue.

•  Another significant event for the Treasury markets was the federal budget and debt ceiling debate. In early October, policymakers in Washington held the markets captive as the debt ceiling and fiscal spending negotiations reached a stalemate. While the government shutdown itself was cause for some market apprehension, it was really the threat of breaching the debt ceiling that represented the major concern. As investors shunned short-maturity Treasuries in response, yields on those maturing in late October/early November ballooned by as much as 60 to 70 basis points. We did not have any holdings of U.S. Treasury obligations in this portfolio. On the eve of the October 17 debt ceiling deadline, Congress agreed on a temporary resolution to end the government standoff. The accord provides funding for the federal government until January 15, 2014 and suspends the debt ceiling until February 7, 2014. While this agreement averted the crisis in the near term, the same issues still must be addressed in early 2014. Following the end of the impasse, the elevated Treasury levels reverted to their pre-crisis, near-zero levels.

•  The Federal Reserve Bank of New York's (FRBNY) fixed-rate, full-allotment reverse repurchase agreement facility, which began in late September, continued to

aid money market investors. This tool allows eligible counterparties, such as money market funds, to lend to the FRBNY on an overnight basis. The initial rate for these loans was set at 0.01 percent, but as of November 1, the rate increased to 0.03 percent. It will help set somewhat of a floor on short rates while significantly increasing the supply of high quality, short-term securities available in the market.

Management Strategies

•  As of October 31, 2013, the Portfolio had net assets of approximately $2.5 billion. The Portfolio's WAM and WAL were 24 days and 59 days, respectively.

•  We remain quite comfortable in our conservative approach to managing this Portfolio, focusing on securities with high liquidity and short durations. We believe our investment process and focus on credit research and risk management, combined with the high degree of liquidity and short maturity position of the Portfolio, has put us in a favorable position to respond to market uncertainty. Our investment philosophy continues to revolve around prudent credit and risk management and portfolios that are positioned defensively and with very high levels of liquidity.

2013 Annual Report

October 31, 2013

Investment Overview (unaudited)

Prime Portfolio

The Prime Portfolio seeks preservation of capital, daily liquidity and maximum current income. The Portfolio seeks to maintain a stable net asset value of $1.00 per share by investing in liquid, high quality U.S. dollar-denominated money market instruments of U.S. and foreign financial corporations and U.S. non-financial corporations. The Portfolio also invests in obligations issued or guaranteed by the U.S. government and its agencies and instrumentalities.

Performance

For the fiscal year ended October 31, 2013, the Portfolio's Institutional Share Class had a total return of 0.09%. For the seven-day period ended October 31, 2013, the Portfolio's Institutional Share Class provided an annualized current yield of 0.05% (subsidized) and 0.00% (non-subsidized), while its 30-day moving average annualized yield was 0.06% (subsidized) and 0.01% (non-subsidized). Yield quotation more closely reflects the current earnings of the Portfolio than the total return. The non-subsidized yield reflects what the yield would have been had a fee and/or expense waiver not been in place during the period shown. Past performance is no guarantee of future results.

Factors Affecting Performance

•  Overall economic growth in the U.S. was moderate during the 12-month reporting period. Gross domestic product (GDP) growth averaged 1.6 percent, by our calculations, over the past four calendar quarters (ended September 30, 2013), but the economy posted significant gains in the most recent two quarters.(1) The second quarter growth rate was 2.5 percent, revised upward from an initial reading of only 1.7 percent, and the third quarter growth rate was 2.8 percent, higher than market expectations of 2 percent. This put average growth for 2013 so far on a firmer footing of 2.1 percent, which was remarkable given that sequestration (automatic federal budget cuts and payroll tax increases that went into effect earlier in 2013) has been a drag on the economy this year. However, this impact is likely to diminish as the year progresses.

•  Average monthly job gains strengthened in the fourth quarter of 2012 and into the first quarter 2013.(2) Average job growth in the second quarter wasn't quite as robust, at 182,000. Third quarter average monthly job gains fell to 163,000 but October job gains came in at 204,000, higher than market expectations. That said, October data may be called into question as survey periods were

compromised and missing data were estimated because of the government shutdown. Notwithstanding, the unemployment rate gradually declined over much of the period, from 7.8 percent in September 2012 to 7.3 percent in October 2013. However, the rate itself still is elevated and will continue to be a focus of Federal Reserve (Fed) policy, although it is creeping closer to the 7.0 percent threshold that the Fed has established for ending its latest quantitative easing (QE) program.

•  Market sentiment focused on several regulatory developments during the period. The first was the possible expiration of Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC)-insured, non-interest bearing transaction accounts (TAG) at the end of 2012. Ultimately, Congress did not act to extend the program and FDIC insurance for these accounts expired on December 31, 2012, leaving account holders with direct bank risk as opposed to FDIC (government) risk. While TAG account holders faced many factors that influenced their decision whether to hold bank credit risk or not, market data suggests that a large portion of the accounts remained uninsured post TAG expiration.

•  The market's other regulatory concern during the period centered on the Fed's unconventional stimulus programs, "Operation Twist" and its third round of QE. As expected, the Twist program ended in December 2012 and was replaced/supplemented by additional purchases of $45 billion per month of Treasury securities on top of its previously announced $40 billion per month of mortgage-backed securities purchases. Also at its December meeting, the Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) changed from calendar-based guidance to economic data guidance, dropping the pledge to keep the target fed funds rate exceptionally low until mid-2015 and replacing it with data-based triggers. Namely, the Fed plans to keep rates exceptionally low as long as the unemployment rate is above 6.5 percent and inflation remains below 2.5 percent.

•  The January 2013 FOMC meeting minutes proved to be somewhat "hawkish" (a more aggressive stance about inflation and interest rates), focusing on balance sheet expansion and the need to be prepared to alter the size of the Fed's monthly QE purchases, possibly with a tapering approach. However, in his semi-annual testimony to Congress,

October 31, 2013

Investment Overview (unaudited) (cont'd)

Prime Portfolio

Chairman Bernanke had a more "dovish" tone (favoring a slower approach toward inflation and interest rates) and reiterated his commitment to QE until substantial labor market improvements are seen. In June, long-term interest rates rose sharply following comments from Chairman Bernanke indicating the Fed may start to scale back the QE program this year and end it in mid-2014 if the Fed is confident economic gains can be sustained.

•  In September, the FOMC did not reduce its asset purchase program, much to the markets' surprise, stating that it would await more evidence of sustained economic progress before adjusting from the current pace of $85 billion per month and that all decisions will be data dependent. The Fed is now likely to push back the timing of tapering due to the aforementioned government shutdown, the subsequent delayed economic data, and the shaken market confidence. The October FOMC meeting passed rather uneventfully as easy policy measures remained in place. With the nomination of Janet Yellen as the next Fed chair, dovish policy is likely to continue.

•  Another significant event for the Treasury markets was the federal budget and debt ceiling debate. In early October, policymakers in Washington held the markets captive as the debt ceiling and fiscal spending negotiations reached a stalemate. While the government shutdown itself was cause for some market apprehension, it was really the threat of breaching the debt ceiling that represented the major concern. As investors shunned short-maturity Treasuries in response, yields on those maturing in late October/early November ballooned by as much as 60 to 70 basis points. We did not have any holdings of U.S. Treasury obligations in this portfolio. On the eve of the October 17 debt ceiling deadline, Congress agreed on a temporary resolution to end the government standoff. The accord provides funding for the federal government until January 15, 2014 and suspends the debt ceiling until February 7, 2014. While this agreement averted the crisis in the near term, the same issues still must be addressed in early 2014. Following the end of the impasse, the elevated Treasury levels reverted to their pre-crisis, near-zero levels.

•  The Federal Reserve Bank of New York's (FRBNY) fixed-rate, full-allotment reverse repurchase

agreement facility, which began in late September, continued to aid money market investors. This tool allows eligible counterparties, such as money market funds, to lend to the FRBNY on an overnight basis. The initial rate for these loans was set at 0.01 percent, but as of November 1, the rate increased to 0.03 percent. It will help set somewhat of a floor on short rates while significantly increasing the supply of high quality, short-term securities available in the market.

Management Strategies

•  As of October 31, 2013, the Portfolio had net assets of approximately $25.5 billion. The Portfolio's WAM and WAL were 28 days and 54 days, respectively.

•  We remain quite comfortable in our conservative approach to managing this Portfolio, focusing on securities with high liquidity and short durations. We believe our investment process and focus on credit research and risk management, combined with the high degree of liquidity and short maturity position of the Portfolio, has put us in a favorable position to respond to market uncertainty. Our investment philosophy continues to revolve around prudent credit and risk management and portfolios that are positioned defensively and with very high levels of liquidity.

2013 Annual Report

October 31, 2013

Investment Overview (unaudited)

Government Portfolio

The Government Portfolio seeks preservation of capital, daily liquidity and maximum current income. The Portfolio seeks to maintain a stable net asset value of $1.00 per share by investing exclusively in obligations issued or guaranteed by the U.S. government and its agencies and instrumentalities and in repurchase agreements collateralized by such securities.

Performance

For the fiscal year ended October 31, 2013, the Portfolio's Institutional Share Class had a total return of 0.05%. For the seven-day period ended October 31, 2013, the Portfolio's Institutional Share Class provided an annualized current yield of 0.04% (subsidized) and -0.13% (non-subsidized), while its 30-day moving average annualized yield was 0.04% (subsidized) and -0.12% (non-subsidized.) Yield quotation more closely reflects the current earnings of the Portfolio than the total return. The non-subsidized yield reflects what the yield would have been had a fee and/or expense waiver not been in place during the period shown. Past performance is no guarantee of future results.

Factors Affecting Performance

•  Overall economic growth in the U.S. was moderate during the 12-month reporting period. Gross domestic product (GDP) growth averaged 1.6 percent, by our calculations, over the past four calendar quarters (ended September 30, 2013), but the economy posted significant gains in the most recent two quarters.(1) The second quarter growth rate was 2.5 percent, revised upward from an initial reading of only 1.7 percent, and the third quarter growth rate was 2.8 percent, higher than market expectations of 2 percent. This put average growth for 2013 so far on a firmer footing of 2.1 percent, which was remarkable given that sequestration (automatic federal budget cuts and payroll tax increases that went into effect earlier in 2013) has been a drag on the economy this year. However, this impact is likely to diminish as the year progresses.

•  Average monthly job gains strengthened in the fourth quarter of 2012 and into the first quarter 2013.(2) Average job growth in the second quarter wasn't quite as robust, at 182,000. Third quarter average monthly job gains fell to 163,000 but October job gains came in at 204,000, higher than market expectations. That said, October data may be called into question as survey periods were

compromised and missing data were estimated because of the government shutdown. Notwithstanding, the unemployment rate gradually declined over much of the period, from 7.8 percent in September 2012 to 7.3 percent in October 2013. However, the rate itself still is elevated and will continue to be a focus of Federal Reserve (Fed) policy, although it is creeping closer to the 7.0 percent threshold that the Fed has established for ending its latest quantitative easing (QE) program.

•  Market sentiment focused on several regulatory developments during the period. The first was the possible expiration of Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC)-insured, non-interest bearing transaction accounts (TAG) at the end of 2012. Ultimately, Congress did not act to extend the program and FDIC insurance for these accounts expired on December 31, 2012, leaving account holders with direct bank risk as opposed to FDIC (government) risk. While TAG account holders faced many factors that influenced their decision whether to hold bank credit risk or not, market data suggests that a large portion of the accounts remained uninsured post TAG expiration.

•  The market's other regulatory concern during the period centered on the Fed's unconventional stimulus programs, "Operation Twist" and its third round of QE. As expected, the Twist program ended in December 2012 and was replaced/supplemented by additional purchases of $45 billion per month of Treasury securities on top of its previously announced $40 billion per month of mortgage-backed securities purchases. Also at its December meeting, the Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) changed from calendar-based guidance to economic data guidance, dropping the pledge to keep the target fed funds rate exceptionally low until mid-2015 and replacing it with data-based triggers. Namely, the Fed plans to keep rates exceptionally low as long as the unemployment rate is above 6.5 percent and inflation remains below 2.5 percent.

•  The January 2013 FOMC meeting minutes proved to be somewhat "hawkish" (a more aggressive stance about inflation and interest rates), focusing on balance sheet expansion and the need to be prepared to alter the size of the Fed's monthly QE purchases, possibly with a tapering approach. However, in his semi-annual testimony to Congress,

Investment Overview (unaudited) (cont'd)

Government Portfolio

Chairman Bernanke had a more "dovish" tone (favoring a slower approach toward inflation and interest rates) and reiterated his commitment to QE until substantial labor market improvements are seen. In June, long-term interest rates rose sharply following comments from Chairman Bernanke indicating the Fed may start to scale back the QE program this year and end it in mid-2014 if the Fed is confident economic gains can be sustained.

•  In September, the FOMC did not reduce its asset purchase program, much to the markets' surprise, stating that it would await more evidence of sustained economic progress before adjusting from the current pace of $85 billion per month and that all decisions will be data dependent. The Fed is now likely to push back the timing of tapering due to the aforementioned government shutdown, the subsequent delayed economic data, and the shaken market confidence. The October FOMC meeting passed rather uneventfully as easy policy measures remained in place. With the nomination of Janet Yellen as the next Fed chair, dovish policy is likely to continue.

•  Another significant event for the Treasury markets was the federal budget and debt ceiling debate. In early October, policymakers in Washington held the markets captive as the debt ceiling and fiscal spending negotiations reached a stalemate. While the government shutdown itself was cause for some market apprehension, it was really the threat of breaching the debt ceiling that represented the major concern. As investors shunned short-maturity Treasuries in response, yields on those maturing in late October/early November ballooned by as much as 60 to 70 basis points. To avoid this price volatility, we proactively managed our Treasury exposure so that the Portfolio held no U.S. Treasury positions maturing between October 16 and November 20. On the eve of the October 17 debt ceiling deadline, Congress agreed on a temporary resolution to end the government standoff. The accord provides funding for the federal government until January 15, 2014 and suspends the debt ceiling until February 7, 2014. While this agreement averted the crisis in the near term, the same issues still must be addressed in early 2014. Following the end of the impasse, the elevated Treasury levels reverted to their pre-crisis, near-zero levels.

•  The Federal Reserve Bank of New York's (FRBNY) fixed-rate, full-allotment reverse repurchase agreement facility, which began in late September, continued to aid money market investors. This tool allows eligible counterparties, such as money market funds, to lend to the FRBNY on an overnight basis. The initial rate for these loans was set at 0.01 percent, but as of November 1, the rate increased to 0.03 percent. It will help set somewhat of a floor on short rates while significantly increasing the supply of high quality, short-term securities available in the market.

Management Strategies

•  As of October 31, 2013, the Portfolio had net assets of approximately $22.4 billion. The Portfolio's WAM and WAL were 22 days and 54 days, respectively.

•  We continued to hold the majority of the Portfolio in repurchase agreements, along with a portion in government agency obligations. Yields on short-term investments remained very low, which resulted in limited yield opportunities in our investment universe. As a result, we continued to maintain a short maturity profile.

Investment Overview (unaudited)

Government Securities Portfolio

The Government Securities Portfolio seeks preservation of capital, daily liquidity and maximum current income. The Portfolio seeks to maintain a stable net asset value of $1.00 per share by investing substantially all of its assets in U.S. Treasury obligations and certain U.S. government securities, the interest from which is generally exempt from state income taxation.

Performance

For the fiscal period ended October 31, 2013, the Portfolio's Institutional Share Class had a total return of 0.01%. For the seven-day period ended October 31, 2012, the Portfolio's Institutional Share Class provided an annualized current yield of 0.01% (subsidized) and -0.54% (non subsidized), while its 30-day moving average annualized yield was 0.01% (subsidized) and -0.52% (non-subsidized). Yield quotation more closely reflects the current earnings of the Portfolio than the total return. The non-subsidized yield reflects what the yield would have been had a fee and/or expense waiver not been in place during the period shown. Past performance is no guarantee of future results.

Factors Affecting Performance

•  Overall economic growth in the U.S. was moderate during the 12-month reporting period. Gross domestic product (GDP) growth averaged 1.6 percent, by our calculations, over the past four calendar quarters (ended September 30, 2013), but the economy posted significant gains in the most recent two quarters.(1) The second quarter growth rate was 2.5 percent, revised upward from an initial reading of only 1.7 percent, and the third quarter growth rate was 2.8 percent, higher than market expectations of 2 percent. This put average growth for 2013 so far on a firmer footing of 2.1 percent, which was remarkable given that sequestration (automatic federal budget cuts and payroll tax increases that went into effect earlier in 2013) has been a drag on the economy this year. However, this impact is likely to diminish as the year progresses.

•  Average monthly job gains strengthened in the fourth quarter of 2012 and into the first quarter 2013.(2) Average job growth in the second quarter wasn't quite as robust, at 182,000. Third quarter average monthly job gains fell to 163,000 but October job gains came in at 204,000, higher than market expectations. That said, October data may be called into question as survey periods were

compromised and missing data were estimated because of the government shutdown. Notwithstanding, the unemployment rate gradually declined over much of the period, from 7.8 percent in September 2012 to 7.3 percent in October 2013. However, the rate itself still is elevated and will continue to be a focus of Federal Reserve (Fed) policy, although it is creeping closer to the 7.0 percent threshold that the Fed has established for ending its latest quantitative easing (QE) program.

•  Market sentiment focused on several regulatory developments during the period. The first was the possible expiration of Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC)-insured, non-interest bearing transaction accounts (TAG) at the end of 2012. Ultimately, Congress did not act to extend the program and FDIC insurance for these accounts expired on December 31, 2012, leaving account holders with direct bank risk as opposed to FDIC (government) risk. While TAG account holders faced many factors that influenced their decision whether to hold bank credit risk or not, market data suggests that a large portion of the accounts remained uninsured post TAG expiration.

•  The market's other regulatory concern during the period centered on the Fed's unconventional stimulus programs, "Operation Twist" and its third round of QE. As expected, the Twist program ended in December 2012 and was replaced/supplemented by additional purchases of $45 billion per month of Treasury securities on top of its previously announced $40 billion per month of mortgage-backed securities purchases. Also at its December meeting, the Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) changed from calendar-based guidance to economic data guidance, dropping the pledge to keep the target fed funds rate exceptionally low until mid-2015 and replacing it with data-based triggers. Namely, the Fed plans to keep rates exceptionally low as long as the unemployment rate is above 6.5 percent and inflation remains below 2.5 percent.

•  The January 2013 FOMC meeting minutes proved to be somewhat "hawkish" (a more aggressive stance about inflation and interest rates), focusing on balance sheet expansion and the need to be prepared to alter the size of the Fed's monthly QE purchases, possibly with a tapering approach. However, in his semi-annual testimony to Congress,


28



2013 Annual Report

October 31, 2013

Investment Overview (unaudited) (cont'd)

Government Securities Portfolio

Chairman Bernanke had a more "dovish" tone (favoring a slower approach toward inflation and interest rates) and reiterated his commitment to QE until substantial labor market improvements are seen. In June, long-term interest rates rose sharply following comments from Chairman Bernanke indicating the Fed may start to scale back the QE program this year and end it in mid-2014 if the Fed is confident economic gains can be sustained.

•  In September, the FOMC did not reduce its asset purchase program, much to the markets' surprise, stating that it would await more evidence of sustained economic progress before adjusting from the current pace of $85 billion per month and that all decisions will be data dependent. The Fed is now likely to push back the timing of tapering due to the aforementioned government shutdown, the subsequent delayed economic data, and the shaken market confidence. The October FOMC meeting passed rather uneventfully as easy policy measures remained in place. With the nomination of Janet Yellen as the next Fed chair, dovish policy is likely to continue.

•  Another significant event for the Treasury markets was the federal budget and debt ceiling debate. In early October, policymakers in Washington held the markets captive as the debt ceiling and fiscal spending negotiations reached a stalemate. While the government shutdown itself was cause for some market apprehension, it was really the threat of breaching the debt ceiling that represented the major concern. As investors shunned short-maturity Treasuries in response, yields on those maturing in late October/early November ballooned by as much as 60 to 70 basis points. To avoid this price volatility, we proactively managed our Treasury exposure so that the Portfolio held no U.S. Treasury positions maturing between October 16 and November 20. On the eve of the October 17 debt ceiling deadline, Congress agreed on a temporary resolution to end the government standoff. The accord provides funding for the federal government until January 15, 2014 and suspends the debt ceiling until February 7, 2014. While this agreement averted the crisis in the near term, the same issues still must be addressed in early 2014. Following the end of the impasse, the elevated Treasury levels reverted to their pre-crisis, near-zero levels.

•  The Federal Reserve Bank of New York's (FRBNY) fixed-rate, full-allotment reverse repurchase agreement facility, which began in late September, continued to aid money market investors. This tool allows eligible counterparties, such as money market funds, to lend to the FRBNY on an overnight basis. The initial rate for these loans was set at 0.01 percent, but as of November 1, the rate increased to 0.03 percent. It will help set somewhat of a floor on short rates while significantly increasing the supply of high quality, short-term securities available in the market.

Management Strategies

•  As of October 31, 2013, the Portfolio had net assets of approximately $71.1 million. The Portfolio's WAM and WAL were 19 days and 20 days, respectively.

•  We continued to remain cautious in our investment approach, focusing on securities with high liquidity and short durations.

•  We continued to hold the majority of the Portfolio in agency obligations, along with a portion in U.S. Treasury obligations. Yields on short-term investments remained very low, which resulted in limited yield opportunities. As a result, we continued to maintain a short maturity profile.

Treasury Portfolio

The Treasury Portfolio seeks preservation of capital, daily liquidity and maximum current income. The Portfolio seeks to maintain a stable net asset value of $1.00 per share by investing exclusively in U.S. Treasury obligations, which are backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. government, and repurchase agreements collateralized by such securities.

As investors shunned short-maturity Treasuries in response, yields on those maturing in late October/early November ballooned by as much as 60 to 70 basis points. To avoid this price volatility, we proactively managed our Treasury exposure so that the Portfolio held no U.S. Treasury positions maturing between October 16 and November 20. On the eve of the October 17 debt ceiling deadline, Congress agreed on a temporary resolution to end the government standoff. The accord provides funding for the federal government until January 15, 2014 and suspends the debt ceiling until February 7, 2014. While this agreement averted the crisis in the near term, the same issues still must be addressed in early 2014. Following the end of the impasse, the elevated Treasury levels reverted to their pre-crisis, near-zero levels.

•  The Federal Reserve Bank of New York's (FRBNY) fixed-rate, full-allotment reverse repurchase agreement facility, which began in late September, continued to aid money market investors. This tool allows eligible counterparties, such as money market funds, to lend to the FRBNY on an overnight basis. The initial rate for these loans was set at 0.01 percent, but as of November 1, the rate increased to 0.03 percent. It will help set somewhat of a floor on short rates while significantly increasing the supply of high quality, short-term securities available in the market.

Management Strategies

•  As of October 31, 2013, the Portfolio had net assets of approximately $8.7 billion. The Portfolio's WAM and WAL were 23 days and 23 days, respectively.

•  We continued to hold the majority of the Portfolio in repurchase agreements collateralized by U.S. Treasury obligations, along with our direct holdings of U.S. Treasury bills and notes. Yields on short-term treasuries remained very low, which resulted in limited yield opportunities. As a result, we continued to maintain a short maturity profile.

2013 Annual Report

October 31, 2013

Investment Overview (unaudited)

Treasury Securities Portfolio

The Treasury Securities Portfolio seeks preservation of capital, daily liquidity and maximum current income. The Portfolio seeks to maintain a stable net asset value of $1.00 per share by investing exclusively in U.S. Treasury obligations. Such obligations are backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. government.

Performance

For the fiscal year ended October 31, 2013, the Portfolio's Institutional Share Class had a total return of 0.01%. For the seven-day period ended October 31, 2013, the Portfolio's Institutional Share Class provided an annualized current yield of 0.01% (subsidized) and -0.15% (non-subsidized), while its 30-day moving average annualized yield was 0.01% (subsidized) and -0.14% (non-subsidized). Yield quotation more closely reflects the current earnings of the Portfolio than the total return. The non-subsidized yield reflects what the yield would have been had a fee and/or expense waiver not been in place during the period shown. Past performance is no guarantee of future results.

Factors Affecting Performance

•  Overall economic growth in the U.S. was moderate during the 12-month reporting period. Gross domestic product (GDP) growth averaged 1.6 percent, by our calculations, over the past four calendar quarters (ended September 30, 2013), but the economy posted significant gains in the most recent two quarters.(1) The second quarter growth rate was 2.5 percent, revised upward from an initial reading of only 1.7 percent, and the third quarter growth rate was 2.8 percent, higher than market expectations of 2 percent. This put average growth for 2013 so far on a firmer footing of 2.1 percent, which was remarkable given that sequestration (automatic federal budget cuts and payroll tax increases that went into effect earlier in 2013) has been a drag on the economy this year. However, this impact is likely to diminish as the year progresses.

•  Average monthly job gains strengthened in the fourth quarter of 2012 and into the first quarter 2013.(2) Average job growth in the second quarter wasn't quite as robust, at 182,000. Third quarter average monthly job gains fell to 163,000 but October job gains came in at 204,000, higher than market expectations. That said, October data may be called into question as survey periods were compromised and missing data were estimated because of the government shutdown.

Notwithstanding, the unemployment rate gradually declined over much of the period, from 7.8 percent in September 2012 to 7.3 percent in October 2013. However, the rate itself still is elevated and will continue to be a focus of Federal Reserve (Fed) policy, although it is creeping closer to the 7.0 percent threshold that the Fed has established for ending its latest quantitative easing (QE) program. (Employment data cited is from the Bureau of Labor Statistics and quarterly job growth averages are calculated by our team from Bloomberg data.)

•  Market sentiment focused on several regulatory developments during the period. The first was the possible expiration of Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC)-insured, non-interest bearing transaction accounts (TAG) at the end of 2012. Ultimately, Congress did not act to extend the program and FDIC insurance for these accounts expired on December 31, 2012, leaving account holders with direct bank risk as opposed to FDIC (government) risk. While TAG account holders faced many factors that influenced their decision whether to hold bank credit risk or not, market data suggests that a large portion of the accounts remained uninsured post TAG expiration.

•  The market's other regulatory concern during the period centered on the Fed's unconventional stimulus programs, "Operation Twist" and its third round of QE. As expected, the Twist program ended in December 2012 and was replaced/supplemented by additional purchases of $45 billion per month of Treasury securities on top of its previously announced $40 billion per month of mortgage-backed securities purchases. Also at its December meeting, the Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) changed from calendar-based guidance to economic data guidance, dropping the pledge to keep the target fed funds rate exceptionally low until mid-2015 and replacing it with data-based triggers. Namely, the Fed plans to keep rates exceptionally low as long as the unemployment rate is above 6.5 percent and inflation remains below 2.5 percent.

•  The January 2013 FOMC meeting minutes proved to be somewhat "hawkish" (a more aggressive stance about inflation and interest rates), focusing on balance sheet expansion and the need to be prepared to alter the size of the Fed's monthly

QE purchases, possibly with a tapering approach. However, in his semi-annual testimony to Congress, Chairman Bernanke had a more "dovish" tone (favoring a slower approach toward inflation and interest rates) and reiterated his commitment to QE until substantial labor market improvements are seen. In June, long-term interest rates rose sharply following comments from Chairman Bernanke indicating the Fed may start to scale back the QE program this year and end it in mid-2014 if the Fed is confident economic gains can be sustained.

•  In September, the FOMC did not reduce its asset purchase program, much to the markets' surprise, stating that it would await more evidence of sustained economic progress before adjusting from the current pace of $85 billion per month and that all decisions will be data dependent. The Fed is now likely to push back the timing of tapering due to the aforementioned government shutdown, the subsequent delayed economic data, and the shaken market confidence. The October FOMC meeting passed rather uneventfully as easy policy measures remained in place. With the nomination of Janet Yellen as the next Fed chair, dovish policy is likely to continue.

•  Another significant event for the Treasury markets was the federal budget and debt ceiling debate. In early October, policymakers in Washington held the markets captive as the debt ceiling and fiscal spending negotiations reached a stalemate. While the government shutdown itself was cause for some market apprehension, it was really the threat of breaching the debt ceiling that represented the major concern. As investors shunned short-maturity Treasuries in response, yields on those maturing in late October/early November ballooned by as much as 60 to 70 basis points. To avoid this price volatility, we proactively managed our Treasury exposure so that the Portfolio held no U.S. Treasury positions maturing between October 16 and November 20. On the eve of the October 17 debt ceiling deadline, Congress agreed on a temporary resolution to end the government standoff. The accord provides funding for the federal government until January 15, 2014 and suspends the debt ceiling until February 7, 2014. While this agreement averted the crisis in the near term, the same issues still must be addressed in early 2014.

Following the end of the impasse, the elevated Treasury levels reverted to their pre-crisis, near-zero levels.

•  The Federal Reserve Bank of New York's (FRBNY) fixed-rate, full-allotment reverse repurchase agreement facility, which began in late September, continued to aid money market investors. This tool allows eligible counterparties, such as money market funds, to lend to the FRBNY on an overnight basis. The initial rate for these loans was set at 0.01 percent, but as of November 1, the rate increased to 0.03 percent. It will help set somewhat of a floor on short rates while significantly increasing the supply of high quality, short-term securities available in the market.

Management Strategies

•  As of October 31, 2013, the Portfolio had net assets of approximately $3.5 billion. The Portfolio's WAM and WAL were 45 days and 45 days, respectively.

•  This Portfolio is invested 100 percent in U.S. Treasury obligations. Yields on short-term Treasuries remained very low, which resulted in limited yield opportunities. As a result, we continued to maintain a short maturity profile.

Investment Overview (unaudited)

Tax-Exempt Portfolio

The Tax-Exempt Portfolio seeks to maximize current income exempt from federal income tax to the extent consistent with preservation of capital and maintenance of liquidity. The Portfolio seeks to maintain a stable net asset value of $1.00 per share by investing at least 80% of its assets in high quality short-term municipal obligations, the interest of which is exempt from federal income taxes and is not subject to the federal alternative minimum tax. The Portfolio may invest up to 20% of its assets in taxable money market securities or in municipal obligations that pay interest income that may be subject to the alternative minimum tax. However, it is currently intended that the Portfolio will be managed so that income generated by the Portfolio will not be subject to the alternative minimum tax.

Performance

For the fiscal year ended October 31, 2013, the Portfolio's Institutional Share Class had a total return of 0.01%. For the seven-day period ended October 31, 2013, the Portfolio's Institutional Share Class provided an annualized current yield of 0.01% (subsidized) and -0.26% (non-subsidized), while its 30-day moving average annualized yield was 0.01% (subsidized) and -0.27% (non-subsidized). Yield quotation more closely reflects the current earnings of the Portfolio than the total return. The non-subsidized yield reflects what the yield would have been had a fee and/or expense waiver not been in place during the period shown. Past performance is no guarantee of future results.

Factors Affecting Performance

•  For municipal governments in general, the economic picture has begun to brighten but the recovery is progressing at a slow pace. Fiscal strains have softened and many state and local governments have been able to achieve budgetary balance through a combination of cost cutting and revenue enhancement measures. Nonetheless, pockets of serious stress remain, with the situation in the City of Detroit being the most prominent example.

•  While revenues are generally projected to grow in fiscal 2014, state and local budgets will remain challenged. States' options to remedy budget gaps will reflect measures already taken; states that have already implemented steep spending cuts will have a more difficult time making additional reductions, and states that enacted revenue increases to close previous gaps may not have the political or public support to adjust revenues upward again.

•  Despite increases over the past 12 quarters — a full three years of continual gains — overall tax collections are still comparatively weak by recent historical standards. States might be seeing more revenue than expected and more revenue compared to the previous years, but that is not an indication that states are out of the woods. Growth in tax revenues has been steady, but sluggish, according to the Rockefeller Institute of Government.

•  June 30 marked the end of most state and local governments' fiscal years. Almost all state and local governments are required by their constitutions or charters to pass balanced budgets. Forty-five states passed balanced budgets for fiscal year 2014, which started on July 1 for most.

•  For year to date 2013, issuance dropped 14%. According to Thomson Reuters data, issuers have been discouraged from coming to market as interest rates rose after the Federal Reserve (Fed) said in June that it may taper its program of bond purchases. Short-term issuance also continued to decline as supply of Variable Rate Demand Notes (VRDNs), which represent the majority of short-term tax-exempt instruments, was down.

Management Strategies

•  In the current environment of near-zero interest rates and halting improvement in municipal economies, our strategy has placed an emphasis on maintaining high levels of liquidity with diligent oversight of credit quality, portfolio maturity and diversification. Daily and weekly Variable Rate Demand Obligations (VRDOs) make up approximately two-thirds of the Portfolio. An additional component is allocated to longer variable-rate securities and the balance of the Portfolio is invested in tax-exempt commercial paper and fixed-rate municipal notes and short-maturity bonds. The Portfolio's WAM and WAL were 38 and 39 days, respectively, at month-end.

•  The tentative state of the economic recovery and the recent pressures in the long-term fixed income markets call for a watchful approach in the period ahead. We will carefully monitor developments on the state and local government front. We believe that the Fed will maintain short-term interest rates at exceptionally low levels until there is clear evidence that the economy is on solid footing.

2013 Annual Report

October 31, 2013

Notes to Financial Highlights

††  Per share amount is based on average shares outstanding.

^  Amount is less than $0.0005 per share.

R  Reflects overall Portfolio ratios for investment income and non-class specific expenses.

^^  The Adviser contributed non recourse voluntary capital contributions to the Money Market and Prime Portfolios. The effect of these contributions are reflected in the Portfolios' total returns above. Without these capital contributions, the impact was less than 0.005% to the total returns for the Money Market and Prime Portfolios. (See Note I within the Notes to Financial Statements).

†  Ratios of Expenses to Average Net Assets before and after Maximum Expense Ratios may vary among share classes by more or less than the administration plan, service and shareholder administration plan, distribution plan and/or shareholder services plan (the "plans") fees due to either (1) fluctuations in daily net asset amounts, (2) changes in the plans' fees during the period for each share class, (3) changes in the Portfolios' expense cap during the year, (4) waivers to the plans' fees for each share class, or (5) a combination of the previous points.

§  Amount is less than 0.005%.

+  The Ratio of Expenses and Net Investment Income reflect the rebate of certain Portfolio expenses in connection with the investments in Morgan Stanley affiliates during the period. The effect of the rebate on the ratios is disclosed in the above table as "Ratios of Rebate from Morgan Stanley Affiliates to Average Net Assets."

2013 Annual Report

October 31, 2013

Notes to Financial Statements

Morgan Stanley Institutional Liquidity Funds (the "Fund") is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "Act"), as a Massachusetts business trust. The Fund is comprised of seven separate, active, diversified portfolios (individually referred to as a "Portfolio", collectively as the "Portfolios"). The Fund offers seven different classes of shares for each of the Portfolios — Institutional Class, Institutional Select Class, Investor Class, Administrative Class, Advisory Class, Participant Class and Cash Management Class. All classes of shares have identical voting rights (except that shareholders of a Class have exclusive voting rights regarding any matter relating solely to that Class of shares), dividend, liquidation and other rights.

For detailed descriptions of the investment objectives of each of the Portfolios and other related information, please refer to the Prospectuses of the Fund. Generally, the investment objective of the Portfolios is to seek preservation of capital, daily liquidity and maximum current income (exempt from federal income tax in the case of Tax-Exempt Portfolio).

A. Significant Accounting Policies: The following significant accounting policies are in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP"). Such policies are consistently followed by the Fund in the preparation of its financial statements. GAAP may require management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Actual results may differ from those estimates.

1.  Security Valuation: Securities owned by the Portfolios are stated at amortized cost which approximates fair value, in accordance with Rule 2a-7 under the Act. The amortized cost of an instrument is determined by valuing it at its original cost and thereafter amortizing any discount or premium from its face value at a constant rate until maturity.

2.  Repurchase Agreements: Certain Portfolios may enter into repurchase agreements under which a Portfolio lends cash and takes possession of securities with an agreement that the counterparty will repurchase such securities. In connection with transactions in repurchase agreements, a bank as custodian for the Fund takes possession of the underlying securities which are held as collateral, with a market value at least equal to the amount of the repurchase transaction, including principal and accrued interest. To the extent that any repurchase transaction exceeds one business day, the value of the collateral is marked-to-market on a daily basis to determine the adequacy of the collateral. In the event of default on the obligation to repurchase, the Fund has the right to liquidate the collateral and apply the proceeds in satisfaction of the obligation. In the event of default or bankruptcy by the counterparty to the agreement,

realization of the collateral proceeds may be subject to cost and delays. The Portfolios, along with other affiliated investment companies, may utilize a joint trading account for the purpose of entering into repurchase agreements.

3.  Fair Value Measurement: Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") Accounting Standards CodificationTM ("ASC") 820, "Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures" ("ASC 820"), defines fair value as the value that the Fund would receive to sell an investment or pay to transfer a liability in a timely transaction with an independent buyer in the principal market, or in the absence of a principal market the most advantageous market for the investment or liability. ASC 820 establishes a three-tier hierarchy to distinguish between (1) inputs that reflect the assumptions market participants would use in valuing an asset or liability developed based on market data obtained from sources independent of the reporting entity (observable inputs) and (2) inputs that reflect the reporting entity's own assumptions about the assumptions market participants would use in valuing an asset or liability developed based on the best information available in the circumstances (unobservable inputs) and to establish classification of fair value measurements for disclosure purposes. Various inputs are used in determining the value of the Fund's investments. The inputs are summarized in the three broad levels listed below.

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

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

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

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

Transfers between investment levels may occur as the markets fluctuate and/or the availability of data used in an investment's valuation changes. The Portfolios recognize transfers between the levels as of the end of the period. As of October 31, 2013, the Portfolios did not have any investments transfer between investment levels.

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

5.  Dividends and Distributions to Shareholders: Dividends are accrued and declared daily and paid monthly.

6.  Security Transactions, Income and Expenses: Security transactions are accounted for on the trade date (date the order to buy or sell is executed). Realized gains and losses on the sale of investment securities are determined on the specific identified cost method. Interest income is recognized on the accrual basis except where collection is in doubt. Discounts are accreted and premiums are amortized over the life of the respective securities. Most expenses of the Fund can be directly attributed to a particular Portfolio. Expenses which cannot be directly attributed are apportioned among the Portfolios based upon relative net assets or other appropriate methods. Income, expenses (other than class specific expenses) and realized and unrealized gains or losses are allocated to each class of shares based upon their relative net assets.

B. Advisory Fees: Morgan Stanley Investment Management Inc. (the "Adviser"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Morgan Stanley, provides the Fund with advisory services under the terms of an Investment Advisory Agreement, paid monthly, at the annual rates of the average daily net assets indicated below.

These fee waivers and/or expense reimbursements will continue for at least one year or until such time as the Fund's Board of Trustees (the "Board") acts to discontinue all or a portion of such waivers and/or expense reimbursements when it deems such action is appropriate. In addition, the Adviser may make additional voluntary fee waivers and/or expense reimbursements. The ratios of expenses to average net assets disclosed in the Portfolios' Financial Highlights may be lower than the maximum expense ratios due to these additional fee waivers and/or expense reimbursements. The Adviser may also waive additional advisory fees and/or reimburse expenses to the extent a Portfolio's total expenses exceed total income on a daily basis. For the year ended October 31, 2013, the

The Adviser entered into a Sub-Advisory Agreement with Morgan Stanley Investment Management Limited (the "Sub-Adviser"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Morgan Stanley. Pursuant to the Sub-Advisory Agreement, the Sub-Adviser provides the Money Market, Prime, Government, Government Securities, Treasury and Treasury Securities Portfolios with advisory services, subject to the overall supervision of the Adviser and the Portfolios' Officers and Trustees. The Adviser paid the Sub-Adviser, on a monthly basis, a portion of the net advisory fees the Adviser receives from the Portfolios.

The Board voted to terminate the Sub-Advisory Agreement on December 5, 2012.

C. Administration Fees: The Adviser also serves as Administrator to the Fund and provides administrative services pursuant to an Administration Agreement for an annual fee, accrued daily and paid monthly, of 0.05% of each Portfolio's average daily net assets (without giving effect to any fee waivers). Under a Sub-Administration Agreement between the Administrator and State Street Bank and Trust Company ("State Street"), State Street provides certain administrative services to the Fund. For such services, the Administrator pays State Street a portion of the fee the Administrator receives from the Fund.

For the year ended October 31, 2013, the Portfolios had administration fees waived as follows:

D. Distribution and Services and Shareholder Administration Plan Fees: Morgan Stanley Distribution, Inc. ("MSDI" or the "Distributor"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Adviser, and an indirect subsidiary of Morgan Stanley, serves as the distributor of the Fund.

The Fund has entered into an Administration Plan with respect to its Institutional Select Class, Investor Class and Administrative Class shares pursuant to which each class of shares will pay the Distributor a monthly or quarterly fee at an annual rate of up to 0.05%, 0.10% and 0.15%, of the average daily net assets of each such class of shares, respectively, to compensate certain financial intermediaries who provide administrative services to shareholders.

The Fund has also entered into a Service and Shareholder Administration Plan with respect to its Advisory Class shares pursuant to which its Advisory Class shares pays the Distributor a monthly or quarterly fee at an annual rate of up to 0.25% of the average daily net assets of such class of shares, to compensate certain financial intermediaries who provide administrative services, personal and account maintenance services to shareholders.

The Fund has also entered into a Distribution Plan with respect to its Participant Class and Cash Management Class shares pursuant to which each class of shares will pay the Distributor a monthly or quarterly distribution fee at an annual rate of up to 0.25% and 0.10% of the average daily net assets of such class of shares, respectively, to compensate certain service organizations for providing distribution related services to the Fund.

The Fund has also entered into a Shareholder Services Plan with respect to its Participant Class and Cash Management Class shares pursuant to which each class of shares will pay the Distributor a monthly or quarterly service fee at an annual rate of up to 0.25% and 0.05% of the average daily net assets of each such class of shares, respectively, to compensate service organizations for providing administrative services to shareholders.

The Distributor has agreed to reduce its distribution fees to the extent total expenses exceed total income on a daily basis for any class of shares in a Portfolio.

E. Dividend Disbursing and Transfer Agent: The Fund's dividend disbursing and transfer agent was Morgan Stanley Services Company Inc. ("Morgan Stanley Services"). Effective July 1, 2013, the Trustees approved changing the dividend disbursing and transfer agent to Boston Financial Data Services, Inc.

In addition, effective July 1, 2013, Morgan Stanley Services, as Co-Transfer Agent, provides certain transfer agency services to the Fund with respect to certain direct transactions with the Fund.

F. Custodian Fees: State Street (the "Custodian") serves as Custodian for the Fund in accordance with a Custodian Agreement. The Custodian holds cash, securities, and other assets of


76



2013 Annual Report

Notes to Financial Statements (cont'd)

the Fund as required by the Act. Custody fees are payable monthly based on assets held in custody, investment purchases and sales activity and account maintenance fees, plus reimbursement for certain out-of-pocket expenses.

G. Federal Income Taxes: It is each Portfolio's intention to continue to qualify as a regulated investment company and distribute all of its taxable and tax-exempt income. Accordingly, no provision for Federal income taxes is required in the financial statements.

FASB ASC 740-10 "Income Taxes — Overall" sets forth a minimum threshold for financial statement recognition of the benefit of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. Management has concluded there are no significant uncertain tax positions that would require recognition in the financial statements. If applicable, the Portfolios recognize interest accrued related to unrecognized tax benefits in "Interest Expense" and penalties in "Other Expenses" in the Statement of Operations. The Portfolios file tax returns with the U.S. Internal Revenue Service, New York and various states. Each of the tax years in the four-year period ended October 31, 2013, remains subject to examination by taxing authorities.

The tax character of distributions paid may differ from the character of distributions shown in the Statements of Changes in Net Assets due to short-term capital gains being treated as ordinary income for tax purposes. The tax character of distributions paid during fiscal years 2013 and 2012 was as follows:

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

Temporary differences are primarily due to differing book and tax treatments in the timing of the recognition of distribution payable and/or deferred compensation.

Permanent differences are generally due to nondeductible expenses, equalization and/or gain on the sale of deferred compensation assets. These resulted in the following reclassifications among the Portfolios' components of net assets at October 31, 2013:

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

2013 Annual Report

October 31, 2013

Notes to Financial Statements (cont'd)

J. Accounting Pronouncements: In June 2013, FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2013-08 Financial Services — Investment Companies (Topic 946) — Amendments to the Scope, Measurement, and Disclosure Requirements ("ASU 2013-08") which is effective for interim and annual reporting periods in fiscal years that begin after December 15, 2013. ASU 2013-08 sets forth a methodology for determining whether an entity should be characterized as an investment company and prescribes fair value accounting for an investment company's non-controlling ownership interest in another investment company. FASB has determined that a fund registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 automatically meets ASU 2013-08's criteria for an investment company. Although still evaluating the potential impacts of ASU 2013-08 to the Portfolios, management expects that the impact of the Portfolios' adoption will be limited to additional financial statement disclosures.

In January 2013, Accounting Standard Update 2013-01 ("ASU 2013-01"), "Clarifying the Scope of Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities," replaced Accounting Standards Update 2011-11 ("ASU 2011-11"), "Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities." ASU 2013-01 is effective for fiscal years beginning on or after January 1, 2013, and interim periods within those annual periods. ASU 2011-11 was intended to enhance disclosure requirements on the offsetting of financial assets and liabilities. ASU 2013-01 limits the scope of the new balance sheet offsetting disclosures to derivatives, repurchase agreements, and securities lending transactions to the extent that they are (1) offset in the financial statements or (2) subject to an enforceable master netting arrangement or similar agreement. Management is currently evaluating the application of ASU 2013-01 and its impact, if any, on the Portfolios' financial statements.

2013 Annual Report

October 31, 2013

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the Shareholders and Board of Trustees of
Morgan Stanley Institutional Liquidity Funds:

We have audited the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities of Money Market Portfolio, Prime Portfolio, Government Portfolio, Government Securities Portfolio, Treasury Portfolio, Treasury Securities Portfolio and Tax-Exempt Portfolio (collectively, the "Portfolios") (seven of the portfolios comprising the Morgan Stanley Institutional Liquidity Funds, including the portfolios of investments, ) as of October 31, 2013, and the related statements of operations for the year then ended, the statements of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended. These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Portfolios' management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and financial highlights 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 and financial highlights are free of material misstatement. We were not engaged to perform an audit of the Portfolios' 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 Portfolios' 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 and financial highlights, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of October 31, 2013, by correspondence with the custodian and others or by other appropriate auditing procedures where replies from others were not received. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the aforementioned seven portfolios comprising Morgan Stanley Institutional Liquidity Funds at October 31, 2013, the results of their operations for the year then ended, the changes in their net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

AN IMPORTANT NOTICE CONCERNING OUR U.S. PRIVACY POLICY

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

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

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

WE RESPECT YOUR PRIVACY

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

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

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

1.  WHAT PERSONAL INFORMATION DO WE COLLECT FROM YOU?

We may collect the following types of information about you: (i) information provided by you, including information from applications and other forms we receive from you, (ii) information about your transactions with us or our affiliates, (iii) information about your transactions with nonaffiliated third parties, (iv) information from consumer reporting agencies, (v) information obtained from our websites, and (vi) information obtained from other sources.

U.S. Privacy Policy (unaudited) (cont'd)

a. Information we disclose to affiliated companies.

We may disclose personal information that we collect about you to our affiliated companies to manage your account(s) effectively, to service and process your transactions, and to let you know about products and services offered by us and affiliated companies, to manage our business, and as otherwise required or permitted by law. Offers for products and services from affiliated companies are developed under conditions designed to safeguard your personal information.

b. Information we disclose to third parties.

We may disclose personal information that we collect about you to nonaffiliated third parties to provide marketing services on our behalf or to other financial institutions with whom we have joint marketing agreements. We may also disclose all of the information we collect to other nonaffiliated third parties for our everyday business purposes, such as to process transactions, maintain account(s), respond to court orders and legal investigations, report to credit bureaus, offer our own products and services, protect against fraud, for institutional risk control, to perform services on our behalf, and as otherwise required or permitted by law.

When we share personal information about you with a nonaffiliated third party, they are required to limit their use of personal information about you to the particular purpose for which it was shared and they are not allowed to share personal information about you with others except to fulfill that limited purpose or as may be permitted or required by law.

3.  HOW DO WE PROTECT THE SECURITY AND CONFIDENTIALITY OF PERSONAL INFORMATION WE COLLECT ABOUT YOU?

We maintain physical, electronic and procedural security measures that comply with applicable law and regulations to help safeguard the personal information we collect about you. We have internal policies governing the proper handling of client information by employees. Third parties that provide support or marketing services on our behalf may also receive personal information about you, and we require them to adhere to appropriate security standards with respect to such information.

4.  HOW CAN YOU LIMIT OUR SHARING CERTAIN PERSONAL INFORMATION ABOUT YOU WITH OUR AFFILIATED COMPANIES FOR ELIGIBILITY DETERMINATION?

By following the opt-out procedures in Section 6 below, you may limit the extent to which we share with our affiliated companies, personal information that was collected to determine your eligibility for products and services such as your credit reports and other information that you have provided to us or that we may obtain from third parties ("eligibility information"). Eligibility information does not include your identification information or personal information pertaining to our transactions or experiences with you. Please note that, even if you direct us not to share eligibility information with our affiliated companies, we may still share your personal information, including eligibility information, with our affiliated companies under circumstances that are permitted under applicable law, such as to process transactions or to service your account.

5.  HOW CAN YOU LIMIT THE USE OF CERTAIN PERSONAL INFORMATION ABOUT YOU BY OUR AFFILIATED COMPANIES FOR MARKETING?

By following the opt-out instructions in Section 6 below, you may limit our affiliated companies from marketing their products or services to you based on personal information we disclose to them.

Once you have informed us about your privacy preferences, your opt-out preference will remain in effect with respect to this Policy (as it may be amended) until you notify us otherwise. If you are a joint account owner, we will accept instructions from any one of you and apply those instructions to the entire account.

Please understand that if you limit our sharing or our affiliated companies' use of personal information, you and any joint account holder(s) may not receive information about our affiliated companies' products and services, including products or services that could help you manage your financial resources and achieve your investment objectives.

If you have more than one account or relationship with us, please specify the accounts to which you would like us to apply your privacy choices. If you have accounts or relationships with our affiliates, you may receive multiple privacy policies from them, and will need to separately notify those companies of your privacy choices for those accounts or relationships.

7.  WHAT IF AN AFFILIATED COMPANY BECOMES A NONAFFILIATED THIRD PARTY?

If, at any time in the future, an affiliated company becomes a nonaffiliated third party, further disclosures of personal information made to the former affiliated company will be limited to those described in Section 2(b) above relating to nonaffiliated third parties. If you elected under Section 6 to limit disclosures we make to affiliated companies, or use of personal information by affiliated companies, your election will not apply to use by any former affiliated company of your personal information in their possession once it becomes a nonaffiliated third party.

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

 

APPENDIX A

 

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)

 

1.              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.

 


(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.

 



 

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.

 

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

 

2.              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.

 

3.              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).

 

4.              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).

 

5.              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).

 

6.              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).

 

7.              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.

 

8.              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.

 

9.              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.

 

10.       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:
