Security Valuation: (1) Fixed income securities may be valued by an outside pricing service/vendor approved by the Fund’s Board of Directors (“the Directors”). The pricing service/vendor may employ a pricing model that takes into account, among other things, bids, yield spreads and/or other market data and specific security characteristics If Morgan Stanley Investment Management Inc. (the “Adviser”) or Morgan Stanley Investment Management Limited (“MSIM Limited”)(the “Sub-Adviser”), each a wholly-owned subsidiary of Morgan Stanley, determines that the price provided by the outside pricing service/vendor does not reflect the security’s fair value or is unable to provide a price, prices from reputable brokers/dealers may also be utilized. In these circumstances, the value of the security will be the mean of bid and asked prices obtained from reputable brokers/dealers; (2) when market quotations are not readily available, as defined by Rule 2a-5 under the Act, including circumstances under which the Adviser or the Sub-Adviser determines that the closing price, last sale price or the mean between the last reported bid and asked prices are not reflective of a security’s market value, portfolio securities are valued at their fair value as determined in good faith under procedures approved by and under the general supervision of the Directors. Each business day, the Fund uses a third-party pricing service approved by the Directors to assist with the valuation of foreign equity securities. Events occurring after the close of trading on foreign exchanges may result in adjustments to the valuation of foreign securities to reflect market trading that occurs after the close of the applicable foreign markets of comparable securities or other instruments that have a strong correlation to the fair-valued securities to more accurately reflect their fair value as of the close of regular trading on the NYSE; (3) listed options are valued at the last reported sales price on the exchange on which they are listed (or at the exchange official closing price if such exchange reports an official closing price). If an official closing price or last reported sales price is unavailable, the listed option should be fair valued at the mean between its latest bid and ask prices. Unlisted options are valued at the mean between their latest bid and ask prices from a broker/dealer or valued by a pricing service/vendor; (4) futures are valued at the settlement price on the exchange on which they trade or, if a settlement price is unavailable, at the last sale price on the exchange; (5) over-the-counter (“OTC”) swaps may be valued by an outside pricing service approved by the Directors or quotes from a broker/dealer. Swaps cleared on a clearinghouse or exchange may be valued using the closing price provided by the clearinghouse or exchange; (6) foreign exchange transactions (“spot contracts”) and foreign exchange forward contracts (“forward contracts”) are valued daily using an independent pricing vendor at the spot and forward rates, respectively, as of the close of the NYSE; and (7) investments in mutual funds, including the Morgan Stanley Institutional Liquidity Funds, are valued at the net asset value as of the close of each business day.
In connection with Rule 2a-5 of the Act, the Directors have designated the Fund’s Adviser as its valuation designee. The valuation designee has responsibility for determining fair value and to make the actual calculations pursuant to the fair valuation methodologies previously approved by the Directors. Under procedures approved by the Directors, the Fund’s Adviser, as valuation designee, has formed a Valuation Committee whose members are approved by the Directors. The Valuation Committee provides administration and oversight of the Fund’s valuation policies and procedures, which are reviewed at least annually by the Directors. These procedures allow the Fund to utilize independent pricing services, quotations from securities and financial instrument dealers and other market sources to determine fair value.

Fair Value Measurement: Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards CodificationTM ("ASC") 820, "Fair Value Measurement" (“ASC 820”), defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or pay to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. 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.
