This report is authorized for distribution only when preceded or accompanied by prospectuses of the Morgan Stanley Institutional Fund Trust. To receive a prospectus and/or SAI, which contains more complete information such as investment objectives, charges, expenses, policies for voting proxies, risk considerations, and describes in detail each of the Portfolio’s investment policies to the prospective investor, please call 1 (800) 548-7786. Please read the prospectus carefully before you invest or send money.

There is no assurance that a Portfolio will achieve its investment objective. Portfolios are subject to market risk, which is the possibility that market values of securities owned by the Portfolio will decline and, therefore, the value of the Portfolio’s shares may be less than what you paid for them. Accordingly, you can lose money investing in Portfolios. Please see the prospectus for more complete information on investment risks.

2009 Semi-Annual Report

March 31, 2009 (unaudited)

Shareholders’ Letter

Dear Shareholders:

We are pleased to present to you the Morgan Stanley Institutional Fund Trust’s (the “Fund”) Semi-Annual Report for the Advisory Portfolios for the six months ended March 31, 2009. Our Fund currently consists of 15 portfolios. The Fund’s portfolios, together with the portfolios of the Morgan Stanley Institutional Fund, Inc., provide investors with a means to help them meet specific investment needs and to allocate their investments among equities (e.g., value and growth; small, medium, and large capitalization) and fixed income (e.g., short, medium, and long duration and investment grade).

Sincerely,

Randy Takian
President and Principal Executive Officer

April 2009

Expense Examples

Expense Examples

As a shareholder of a Portfolio, you may incur ongoing costs, including management fees and other Portfolio expenses. These examples are intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Portfolio and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.

The examples are based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the six-month period ended March 31, 2009 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.

Please note that “Actual Expenses Paid During Period” are grossed up to reflect Portfolio expenses prior to the effect of Expense Offset (See Note F in the Notes to Financial Statements). Therefore, the annualized net expense ratios may differ from the ratio of expenses to average net assets shown in the Financial Highlights.

Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes

The table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the 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 the 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.

Portfolio	Beginning Account Value 10/1/08	Actual Ending Account Value 3/31/09	Hypothetical Ending Account Value	Actual Expenses Paid During Period*	Hypothetical Expenses Paid During Period*	Net Expense Ratio During Period
Advisory Class I	$1,000.00	$1,008.60	$1,024.93	$—	$—	0.00%
Advisory II Class I	1,000.00	989.10	1,024.93	—	—	0.00

*Expenses are calculated using each Portfolio Class’ annualized net expense ratio (as disclosed), multiplied by the average account value over the period, and multiplied by 182/365 (to reflect the most recent one-half year period).

Notes to Financial Statements

Morgan Stanley Institutional Fund Trust (“MSIFT” or the “Fund”) is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), as an open-end management investment company. The Fund is comprised of fifteen active portfolios. The accompanying financial statements and financial highlights are those of the Advisory Portfolio and Advisory Portfolio II (each referred to as a “Portfolio” or together as “Portfolios”) only. For the purposes of the 1940 Act, the Advisory Portfolio is considered a diversified fund and the Advisory Portfolio II is considered a non-diversified fund. The financial statements of the remaining portfolios are presented separately.

A. Significant Accounting Policies: The following significant accounting policies are in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. Such policies are consistently followed by the Portfolios in the preparation of the financial statements. U.S. generally accepted accounting principles 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: Bonds and other fixed income securities may be valued according to the broadest and most representative market. In addition, bonds and other fixed income securities may be valued on the basis of prices provided by a pricing service. The prices provided by a pricing service take into account broker dealer market price quotations for institutional size trading in similar groups of securities, security quality, maturity, coupon and other security characteristics as well as any developments related to the specific securities. Debt securities purchased with remaining maturities of 60 days or less are valued at amortized cost, if it approximates market value. Equity securities listed on a U.S. exchange are valued at the latest quoted sales price on the valuation date. Equity securities listed or traded on NASDAQ, for which market quotations are available, are valued at the NASDAQ Official Closing Price. Securities listed on a foreign exchange are valued at their closing price, except as noted below. Unlisted and listed equity securities not traded on the valuation date, for which market quotations are readily available, are valued at the mean between the current bid and asked prices obtained from reputable brokers.

All other securities and investments for which market values are not readily available, including restricted securities, and those securities for which it is inappropriate to determine prices in accordance with the aforementioned procedures, are valued at fair value as determined in good faith under procedures adopted by the Board of Trustees (the “Trustees”), although the actual calculations may be done by others. 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.

Most foreign markets close before the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE). Occasionally, developments that could affect the closing prices of securities and other assets may occur between the times at which valuations of such securities are determined (that is, close of the foreign market on which the securities trade) and the close of business on the NYSE. If these developments are expected to materially affect the value of the securities, the valuations may be adjusted to reflect the estimated fair value as of the close of the NYSE, as determined in good faith under procedures established by the Trustees.

2.Futures: Financial futures contracts (secured by cash and securities deposited with brokers as “initial margin”) are valued based upon their quoted daily settlement prices; changes in initial settlement value (represented by cash paid to or received from brokers as “variation margin”) are accounted for as unrealized appreciation (depreciation). When futures contracts are closed, the difference between the opening value at the date of purchase and the value at closing is recorded as realized gains (losses) in the Statements of Operations. “Due from (to) Broker” is comprised of initial margin and variation margin, as stated in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities.

Futures contracts may be used by each Portfolio in order to hedge against unfavorable changes in the value of securities or to attempt to realize profits from the value of the related securities.

Futures contracts involve market risk that may exceed the amounts recognized in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities. Risks arise from the possible movements in the prices of securities relating to these instruments. The change in value of futures contracts primarily corresponds with the value of their related securities, but may not precisely correlate with the change in value of such securities. In addition, there is the risk that a Portfolio may not be able to enter into a closing transaction because of an illiquid secondary market.

3.Securities Sold Short: Each Portfolio may sell securities short. A short sale is a transaction in which the Portfolio sells securities it may or may not own, but has borrowed, in anticipation of a decline in the market price of the securities. The Portfolio is obligated to replace the borrowed securities at their market price at the time of

18

2009 Semi-Annual Report

March 31, 2009 (unaudited)

Notes to Financial Statements (cont’d)

replacement. The Portfolio may have to pay a premium to borrow the securities as well as pay any dividends or interest payable on the securities until they are replaced. The Portfolio’s obligation to replace the securities borrowed in connection with a short sale will generally be secured by collateral deposited with the broker that consists of cash, U.S. government securities or other liquid high grade debt obligations. In addition, the Portfolio will either place in a segregated account with its custodian or denote on its custody records an amount of cash, U.S. government securities or other liquid high grade debt obligations equal to the difference, if any, between (1) the market value of the securities sold at the time they were sold short and (2) any cash, U.S. government securities or other liquid high grade debt obligations deposited as collateral with the broker in connection with the short sale (not including the proceeds of the short sale). Short sales by the Portfolios involve certain risks and special considerations. Possible losses from short sales differ from losses that could be incurred from a purchase of a security because losses from short sales may be unlimited, whereas losses from purchases cannot exceed the total amount invested.

4.Swap Agreements: The Fund adopted the provisions of the FASB Staff Position Paper No. FAS 133-1 and FIN 45-4, Disclosures about Credit Derivatives and Certain Guarantees: An Amendment of FASB Statement No. 133 and FASB Interpretation No. 45 (“FSP FAS 133-1 and FIN 45-4”), effective December 31, 2008. FSP FAS 133-1 and FIN 45-4 requires the seller of credit derivatives to provide additional disclosure about its credit derivatives. Each Portfolio may enter into swap agreements to exchange the interest rate on, or return generated by, one nominal instrument for the return generated by another nominal instrument. Cash collateral for swap agreements, if applicable, is deposited with the broker serving as counter-party to the agreement, and is included in “Due from (to) Broker” on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities. The following summarizes swaps entered into by the Portfolios:

Credit Default Swaps: The Portfolios may enter into credit default swap contracts, a type of credit derivative, for hedging purposes or to gain exposure to a credit or index of credits in which the Portfolio may otherwise invest. A credit default swap is an agreement between two parties to exchange the credit risk of an issuer or index of issuers. A buyer of a credit default swap is said to buy protection by paying periodic fees in return for a contingent payment from the seller if the issuer has a credit event such as bankruptcy, a failure to pay outstanding obligations or deteriorating credit while the swap is outstanding. A seller of a credit default swap is said to sell protection and thus collects the periodic fees and profits if the credit of the issuer remains stable or improves while the swap is outstanding. The seller in a credit default swap contract would be required to pay an agreed-upon amount, to the buyer in the event of an adverse credit event of the issuer. This agreed-upon amount approximates the notional amount of the swap as disclosed in the table following the Portfolios of Investments and is estimated to be the maximum potential future payment that the seller could be required to make under the credit default contract. In the event of an adverse credit event, the seller generally does not have any contractual remedies against the issuer or any other third party. However, if a physical settlement is elected, the seller would receive the defaulted credit and, as a result, become a creditor of the issuer.

The current credit rating of each individual issuer is listed in the table following the Portfolios of Investments and serves as an indicator of the current status of the payment/performance risk of the credit derivative. Alternatively, for the credit default swaps on an index of credits, the quoted market prices and current values serve as an indicator of the current status of the payment/performance risk of the credit derivative. Generally, lower credit ratings and increasing market values, in absolute terms, represent a deterioration of the credit and a greater likelihood of an adverse credit event of the issuer.

The Portfolio accrues for the periodic fees on credit default swaps on a daily basis with the net amount accrued recorded within unrealized appreciation (depreciation) of swap contracts. Upon cash settlement of the periodic fees, the net amount is recorded as realized gain (loss) on swap contracts on the Statements of Operations. Net unrealized gains are recorded as an asset or net unrealized losses are reported as a liability on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities. The change in value of the swap contracts is reported as unrealized gains (losses) on the Statements of Operations. Payments received or made upon entering into a credit default swap contract, if any, are recorded as realized gain (loss) on the Statements of Operations upon termination or maturity of the swap. Credit default swaps may involve greater risks than if a Portfolio had invested in the issuer directly. Credit default swaps are subject to general market risk, counterparty risk and credit risk.

At March 31, 2009, the Portfolios did not have any outstanding credit default swaps.

Interest Rate Swaps: Interest rate swaps involve the exchange of commitments to pay and receive interest based on a notional principal amount. The Portfolio accrues for

19

2009 Semi-Annual Report

March 31, 2009 (unaudited)

Notes to Financial Statements (cont’d)

interim payments on swap contracts on a daily basis, with the net amount recorded within unrealized appreciation (depreciation) of swap contracts on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities. Once interim payments are settled in cash, the net amount is recorded within realized gain (loss) on swaps on the Statements of Operations. In a zero-coupon interest rate swap, payments only occur at maturity, at which time one counterparty pays the total compounded fixed rate over the life of the swap and the other pays the total compounded floating rate that would have been earned had a series of LIBOR investments been rolled over through the life of the swap. The Portfolio amortizes its interest payment obligation over the life of the swap. The amortized portion of this payment is recorded within realized gain (loss) on the Statements of Operations. The unamortized portion of this payment is included in “Due from (to) Broker” on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities. Interest rate swaps are marked-to-market daily based upon quotations from market makers and the change, if any, is recorded as unrealized appreciation or depreciation in the Statements of Operations.

Total Return Swaps: Total return swaps involve commitments to pay interest in exchange for a market-linked return based on a notional amount. To the extent the total return of the security or index underlying the transaction exceeds or falls short of the offsetting interest rate obligation, the Portfolio will receive a payment from or make a payment to the counterparty, respectively. Total return swaps are marked-to-market daily based upon quotations from market makers and the change, if any, is recorded as unrealized appreciation or depreciation in the Statements of Operations. Periodic payments received or made at the end of each measurement period, but prior to termination, are recorded as realized gains (losses) in the Statements of Operations.

Realized gains (losses) on maturity or termination of swaps are presented in the Statements of Operations. Because there is no organized market for these swap agreements, the unrealized gain (loss) reported in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities may differ from that which would be realized in the event the Portfolio terminated its position in the agreement. Risks may arise upon entering into these agreements from the potential inability of the counterparties to meet the terms of the agreements and are generally limited to the amount of net interest payments to be received, if any, at the date of default. Risks also arise from potential losses from adverse market movements and such losses could exceed the related amounts shown in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities.

At March 31, 2009, the Portfolios did not have any outstanding total return swaps.

5.Structured Investments: Each Portfolio may invest in structured investments whose values are linked either directly or inversely to changes in foreign currencies, interest rates, commodities, indices, equity securities or other underlying instruments. A Portfolio uses these securities to increase or decrease its exposure to different underlying instruments and to gain exposure to markets that might be difficult to invest in through conventional securities. Structured investments may be more volatile than their underlying instruments, but any loss is limited to the amount of the original investment.

6.Delayed Delivery Commitments: Each Portfolio may purchase or sell securities on a when-issued or forward commitment basis. Payment and delivery may take place a month or more after the date of the transaction. The price of the underlying securities and the date when the securities will be delivered and paid for are fixed at the time the transaction is negotiated. Liquid securities or cash is designated in an amount at least equal to these commitments. Securities held for this purpose cannot be sold while this strategy is outstanding, unless replaced with other assets. As a result, there is a possibility that as designated assets reach certain levels, a Portfolio may lose some flexibility in managing its investments, responding to shareholder redemption requests, or meeting other current obligations. Such transactions may give rise to a form of leverage. This can cause a Portfolio to be more volatile than if it had not been leveraged, as leverage tends to exaggerate the effect of any increase or decrease in the value of the Portfolio’s securities.

7.Foreign Currency Translation and Foreign Currency Exchange Contracts: The books and records of the Portfolios are maintained in U.S. dollars. Foreign currency amounts are translated into U.S. dollars at the bid prices of such currencies against U.S. dollars quoted by a bank. Net realized gains (losses) on foreign currency transactions represent net foreign exchange gains (losses) from foreign currency exchange contracts, disposition of foreign currencies, currency gains (losses) realized between the trade and settlement dates on securities transactions, and the difference between the amount of investment income and foreign withholding taxes recorded on a Portfolio’s books and the U.S. dollar equivalent of amounts actually received or paid.

A foreign currency exchange contract is an agreement between two parties to buy or sell currency at a set price on a future date. Each Portfolio may enter into foreign currency exchange contracts to protect securities and related

20

2009 Semi-Annual Report

March 31, 2009 (unaudited)

Notes to Financial Statements (cont’d)

receivables and payables against future changes in foreign exchange rates and, in certain situations, to gain exposure to foreign currencies. Certain Portfolios may also enter into cross currency hedges which involve the sale of one currency against the positive exposure to a different currency. Cross currency hedges may be used for hedging purposes or to establish an active exposure to the exchange rate between any two currencies. Fluctuations in the value of such contracts are recorded as unrealized appreciation or depreciation; realized gains (losses), which are disclosed in the Statements of Operations, include net gains (losses) on contracts which have been terminated by settlements. Risks may arise upon entering into these contracts from the potential inability of counterparties to meet the terms of their contracts and are generally limited to the amount of unrealized gain on the contract, if any, at the date of default. Risks may also arise from unanticipated movements in the value of the foreign currency relative to the U.S. dollar.

Foreign security and currency transactions may involve certain considerations and risks not typically associated with those of U.S. dollar denominated transactions as a result of, among other factors, the possibly lower level of governmental supervision, relative currency valuation fluctuation, regulation of foreign securities markets and the possibility of political or economic instability.

At March 31, 2009, the Portfolios did not have any outstanding foreign currency exchange contracts.

8.Purchased and Written Options: Certain Portfolios may write covered call and put options on portfolio securities and other financial instruments. Premiums are received and are recorded as liabilities. The liabilities are subsequently adjusted to reflect the current value of the options written. Premiums received from writing options which expire are treated as realized gains. Premiums received from writing options which are exercised or are closed are added to or offset against the proceeds or amount paid on the transaction to determine the net realized gain (loss). By writing a covered call option, a Portfolio, in exchange for the premium, foregoes the opportunity for capital appreciation above the exercise price should the market price of the underlying security increase. By writing a put option, a Portfolio, in exchange for the premium, accepts the risk of having to purchase a security at an exercise price that is above the current market price.

Certain Portfolios may purchase call and put options on their portfolio securities or other financial instruments. Each Portfolio may purchase call options to protect against an increase in the price of the security or financial instrument it anticipates purchasing. Each Portfolio may purchase put options on securities which it holds or other financial instruments to protect against a decline in the value of the security or financial instrument or to close out covered written put positions. Risks may arise from an imperfect correlation between the change in market value of the securities held by the Portfolio and the prices of options relating to the securities purchased or sold by the Portfolio and from the possible lack of a liquid secondary market for an option. The maximum exposure to loss for any purchased option is limited to the premium initially paid for the option.

Options written for the six months ended March 31, 2009, were as follows:

Portfolio	Total Number of Contracts			Total Premiums Received (000)
Advisory
Options Outstanding — October 1, 2008		—			$	—
Options Written		2,992			804
Closing Purchase Transactions		(1,537	)		(623		)

Closing Purchase Transactions		(2,912	)		(1,001		)
Options Outstanding — March 31, 2009		346			$	34

9.Repurchase Agreements: The Portfolios may enter into repurchase agreements under which a Portfolio lends excess 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 and/or retention of the collateral or proceeds may be subject to legal proceedings. The Fund, along with other affiliated investment companies, may utilize a joint trading account for the purpose of entering into repurchase agreements.

10.New Accounting Pronouncements: On April 9, 2009, Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Staff Position No. 157-4, Determining Fair Value When the Volume and Level of Activity for the Asset or Liability Have Significantly Decreased and Identifying Transactions That Are Not Orderly (“FSP 157-4”). FSP 157-4 provides additional guidance for estimating fair value in accordance with SFAS 157, when the volume and level of activity for the asset or liability have significantly decreased. FSP 157-4 also requires additional disaggregation of the current SFAS 157 required disclosures. FSP 157-4 is effective for interim and annual reporting periods ending after June 15, 2009, and shall be applied prospectively. At this time, management is evaluating the implications of FSP 157-4 and the impact it will have on the financial statement disclosures.

On March 19, 2008, FASB released Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 161, “Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities” (“SFAS 161”). SFAS 161 requires qualitative disclosures about objectives and strategies for using derivatives, quantitative disclosures about fair value amounts of and gains and losses on derivative instruments, and disclosures about credit-risk-related contingent features in derivative agreements. The application of SFAS 161 is required for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after November 15, 2008. At this time, management does not believe the adoption of SFAS 161 will impact the financial statement amounts; however, additional footnote disclosures may be required about the use of derivative instruments and hedging items.

11.Fair Value Measurement: The Portfolios adopted FASB Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements” (“SFAS 157”), effective October 1, 2008. In accordance with SFAS 157, fair value is defined as the price that the Portfolios 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. SFAS 157 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 the Portfolios’ investments. The inputs are summarized in the three broad levels listed below:

· Level 1 –	quoted prices in active markets for identical securities
· Level 2 –	other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.)
· Level 3 –	significant unobservable inputs (including each Portfolio’s own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments)

The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities, are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.

The following is a summary of the inputs used as of March 31, 2009 in valuing the Advisory Portfolio’s investments carried at value:

Assets	Investments in Securities (000)			Other Financial Instruments* (000)
Level 1 – Quoted Prices		$	32,083		$	1,877

* Other financial instruments include futures, written options and swap contracts.

12.Other: Security transactions are accounted for on the date the securities are purchased or sold. Realized gains (losses) on the sale of investment securities are determined on the specific identified cost basis. Interest income is recognized on the accrual basis except where collection is in doubt.

Discounts and premiums on securities purchased are accreted/amortized over their respective lives. Most expenses of the Fund can be directly attributed to a particular Portfolio. Expenses which cannot be directly attributed are apportioned among the Portfolios on the basis of their relative net assets.

B. Investment Advisory Fees. Morgan Stanley Investment Management Inc. (the “Adviser” or “MS Investment Management”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Morgan Stanley, performs investment advisory services at a fee calculated by applying a quarterly rate based on the annual percentage rate of 0.375% to each Portfolio’s average daily net assets for the quarter.

The Adviser has voluntarily agreed to waive its advisory fee and/or reimburse all expenses for each Portfolio, other than fees paid on behalf of each Portfolio to the Trustees and after giving effect to custody fee offsets.

Fee waivers and/or expense reimbursements are voluntary and may be commenced or terminated at any time. For the six months ended March 31, 2009, the Portfolios had advisory fees waived and/or certain expenses reimbursed as follows:

Portfolio	Advisory Fees Waived and/or Reimbursed (000)
Advisory	$1,233
Advisory II	767

C. Administration Fees. MS Investment Management (the “Administrator”) also provides the Fund with administration services pursuant to an administration agreement for an annual fee, accrued daily and paid monthly, of 0.08% of each Portfolio’s average daily net assets.

Under an agreement between the Administrator and JPMor-gan Investor Services Co. (“JPMIS”), a corporate affiliate of JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., JPMIS provides certain administrative services to the Fund. For such services, the Administrator pays JPMIS a portion of the fee the Administrator receives from the Fund.

D. Distributor. Morgan Stanley Distribution, Inc. (“MSDI” or the “Distributor”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Adviser, serves as the distributor for the Fund.

E. Dividend Disbursing and Transfer Agent. Morgan Stanley Services Company Inc. (“Morgan Stanley Services”) serves as the dividend disbursing and transfer agent for the Fund. Pursuant to a Transfer Agency Agreement, the Fund pays Morgan Stanley Services a fee generally based on the number of classes, accounts and transactions relating to the Portfolios of the Fund.

F. Custodian Fees. JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. (the “Custodian”) serves as Custodian for the Fund in accordance with a custodian agreement. The Custodian holds cash, securities, and other assets of the Fund as required by the 1940 Act.

The Fund has entered into an arrangement with its Custodian whereby credits realized on uninvested cash balances were used to offset a portion of each applicable Portfolio’s expenses. These custodian credits are shown as “Expense Offset” on the Statements of Operations.

G. Portfolio Investment Activity.

1.Security Transactions: For the six months ended March 31, 2009, purchases and sales of investment securities other than long-term U.S. government securities and short-term investments were:

Portfolio	Purchases (000)	Sales (000)
Advisory	$2,096,966	$2,541,567
Advisory II	747,544	1,329,287

2009 Semi-Annual Report

Notes to Financial Statements (cont’d)

For the six months ended March 31, 2009, purchases and sales of long-term U.S. government securities were:

Portfolio	Purchases (000)	Sales (000)
Advisory	$  75,408	$  69,377
Advisory II	111,798	122,989

2.Transactions with Affiliates: The Portfolios invest in the Institutional Class of portfolios within the Morgan Stanley Institutional Liquidity Funds (the “Liquidity Funds”), an open-end management investment company managed by the Adviser, both directly, and/or as a portion of the securities held as collateral on loaned securities. A summary of the Portfolio’s transactions in the shares of the Liquidity Funds during the six months ended March 31, 2009 is set forth below:

Portfolio	Market Value September 30, 2008 (000)	Purchases at Cost (000)	Sales Proceeds (000)	Dividend Income (000)	Market Value March 31, 2009 (000)
Advisory	$100,516	$908,871	$978,231	$796	$31,156
Advisory II	102,737	733,940	820,015	291	16,662

Investment Advisory fees paid by the Portfolios are reduced by an amount equal to their pro-rata share of the advisory and administration fees paid by the Liquidity Funds (“Rebate”). For the six months ended March 31, 2009, advisory fees paid were reduced as follows:

Portfolio	Rebate (000)
Advisory	$3
Advisory II	8

H. Securities Lending. The Portfolios may lend securities to qualified financial institutions, such as broker-dealers, to earn additional income. Any increase or decrease in the fair value of the securities loaned that might occur and any interest earned or dividends declared on those securities during the term of the loan would remain in the Portfolio. Portfolios that lend securities receive cash or securities as collateral in an amount equal to or exceeding 100% of the current fair value of the loaned securities. The collateral is marked to market daily, by the securities lending agent, to ensure that a minimum of 100% collateral coverage is maintained.

Based on pre-established guidelines, the securities lending agent invests any cash collateral that is received in an affiliated money market portfolio and repurchase agreements backed by U.S. Treasury and Agency securities. Securities lending income is generated from the earnings on the invested collateral and borrowing fees, less any rebates owed to the borrowers and compensation to the lending agent, and is included in the Portfolios’ Statements of Operations in affiliated dividend income and interest income. Risks in securities lending transactions are that a borrower may not provide additional collateral when required or return the securities when due, and that the value of the short-term investments will be less than the amount of cash collateral plus any rebate that is required to be returned to the borrower.

The value of loaned securities and related collateral outstanding at March 31, 2009 are as follows:

Portfolio	Value of Loaned Securities (000)	Value of Collateral (000)
Advisory	$45,550	$46,022	*

* Included in this amount is approximately $22,086,000 which was received in the form of short-term pooled securities, which the Advisory Portfolio cannot sell or repledge and accordingly are not reflected in the Portfolio of Investments.

For the six months ended March 31, 2009, the following Portfolios had income from securities lending (after rebates to borrowers and fee paid to securities lending agent):

Portfolio	Net Interest Earned by Portfolio (000)
Advisory	$150

I. Federal Income Taxes. It is each Portfolio’s intention 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.

Dividend income and distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Interest income is recognized on the accrual basis.

Dividends from net investment income, if any, are declared and paid monthly for the Advisory Portfolio and Advisory Portfolio II. Net realized capital gains, if any, are distributed at least annually.

Financial Accounting Standards Board Interpretation No. 48 Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes (FIN 48) sets forth a minimum threshold for financial statement recognition of the benefit of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. 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 on the Statement of Operations. The Portfolios file tax returns with the U.S. Internal Revenue Service, New York and various states. Generally, each of the tax years in the four year period ended September 30, 2008, remains subject to examination by taxing authorities.

2009 Semi-Annual Report

March 31, 2009 (unaudited)

Notes to Financial Statements (cont’d)

The tax character for distributions paid may differ from the character of distributions shown on 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 2008 and 2007 were as follows:

	2008 Distributions Paid From:			2007 Distributions Paid From:
Portfolio	Ordinary Income (000)	Return of Capital (000)	Long-term Capital Gain (000)	Ordinary Income (000)	Return of Capital (000)	Long-term Capital Gain (000)
Advisory	$140,353	$—	$—	$205,869	$12,396	$—
Advisory II	34,236	—	—	—	—	—

The amount and character of income and gains to be distributed are determined in accordance with income tax regulations which may differ from U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. The book/tax differences are either considered temporary or permanent in nature.

Temporary differences are generally due to differing book and tax treatments in the timing of the recognition of gains (losses) on securities, options, swaps, forwards and futures, including Post October losses.

Permanent differences, primarily due to differing treatments of gains (losses) related to foreign currency transactions, foreign futures transactions, swap transactions, paydown adjustments, return of capital dividend distributions and in-kind resulted in the following reclassifications among the Portfolios’ components of net assets at September 30, 2008:

Portfolio	Accumulated Undistributed (Distribution in Excess of) Net Investment Income (Loss) (000)	Accumulated Net Realized Gain (Loss) (000)	Paid-in Capital (000)
Advisory	$10,371	$295,707	$(306,078	)
Advisory II	9,024	1,509	(10,533	)

At September 30, 2008, the components of distributable earnings on a tax basis were as follows:

Portfolio	Undistributed Ordinary Income (000)	Tax-Exempt Income (000)	Undistributed Long-term Capital Gain (000)
Advisory	$18,464	$—	$—
Advisory II	15,150	—	—

At March 31, 2009, cost, unrealized appreciation, unrealized depreciation, and net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) for U.S. Federal income tax purposes of the investments of each of the Portfolios were:

Portfolio	Cost (000)	Appreciation (000)	Depreciation (000)		Net Appreciation (Depreciation) (000)
Advisory	$540,487	$7,812	$(72,966	)	$(65,154	)
Advisory II	113,526	2,278	(2,909	)	(631	)

At September 30, 2008, the following Portfolios had available for Federal income tax purposes unused capital losses, which will expire on the indicated dates:

Portfolio	2012	2013	2014
Advisory	$152,714	$62,736	$  19,857
Advisory II	—	—	—
Portfolio	2015	2016	Total
Advisory	$  61,283	$64,638	$361,228
Advisory II	—	—	—

To the extent that capital loss carryforwards are used to offset any future capital gains realized during the carryforwards period as provided by U.S. Federal income tax regulations, no capital gains tax liability will be incurred by a portfolio for gains realized and not distributed. To the extent that capital gains are offset, such gains will not be distributed to the shareholders.

Net capital and currency losses incurred after October 31 and within the taxable year are deemed to arise on the first day of the Portfolio’s next taxable year. For the year ended September 30, 2008, the Portfolio deferred to October 1, 2008 for U.S. Federal income tax purposes, post-October capital and currency losses as indicated:

	Post-October
Portfolio	Capital Losses (000)	Currency Losses (000)
Advisory	$311,831	$827
Advisory II	81,243	—

For the six months ended March 31, 2009, the Advisory Portfolio realized losses from in-kind redemptions of approximately $10,390,000. The losses are not taxable income to the Advisory Portfolio.

J. Contractual Obligations. 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.

K. Other. At March 31, 2009, the Advisory Portfolio and Advisory Portfolio II each had otherwise unaffiliated record owners of 10% or greater. Investment activities of these shareholders could have a material impact on the Portfolios. The aggregate percentage of such owners was 77.8% and 95.0%, respectively.

Additionally, you can access portfolio information including performance, characteristics, and investment team commentary through Morgan Stanley Investment Management’s website: www.morganstanley.com/msim.

There is no assurance that a Portfolio will achieve its investment objective. Portfolios are subject to market risk, which is the possibility that market values of securities owned by the Portfolio will decline and, therefore, the value of the Portfolio’s shares may be less than what you paid for them. Accordingly, you can lose money investing in Portfolios. Please see the prospectus for more complete information on investment risks.

2009 Semi-Annual Report

Shareholders’ Letter

Dear Shareholders:

We are pleased to present to you the Morgan Stanley Institutional Fund Trust’s (the “Fund”) Semi-Annual Report for the six months ended March 31, 2009. Our Fund currently consists of 15 portfolios. The Fund’s portfolios, together with the portfolios of the Morgan Stanley Institutional Fund, Inc., provide investors with a means to help them meet specific investment needs and to allocate their investments among equities (e.g., value and growth; small, medium, and large capitalization) and fixed income (e.g., short, medium, and long duration and investment grade).

Sincerely,

Randy Takian

President and Principal Executive Officer

April 2009

Expense Examples

Expense Examples

As a shareholder of the Portfolio, you may incur two types of costs: (1) transactional costs, including sales charge (loads) on purchase payments, if applicable, and redemption fees; and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees, distribution and shareholder servicing fees (in the case of Investment Class, Class P, Class H and Class L); and other Portfolio expenses. These examples are intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Portfolio and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.

The examples are based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the six-month period ended March 31, 2009 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.

Please note that “Actual Expenses Paid During Period” are grossed up to reflect Portfolio expenses prior to the effect of Expense Offset (See Note F in the Notes to Financial Statements). Therefore, the annualized net expense ratios may differ from the ratio of expenses to average net assets shown in the Financial Highlights.

Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes

The table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the 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 the 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 and do not reflect any transactional costs, such as sales charges (loads, if applicable) and redemption fees. Therefore, the hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses are useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

¥	Performance was positively impacted by approximately 0.71% due to the receipt of proceeds from the settlements of class action suits involving primarily two of the Portfolio’s holdings. This was a one-time settlement, and as a result, the impact on the NAV and consequently the performance will not likely be repeated in the future. Had these settlements not occurred, the total return for Class I shares would have been approximately (17.09)%.

The accompanying financial statements and financial highlights are those of the Balanced, Mid Cap Growth, U.S. Mid Cap Value, U.S. Small Cap Value, Value, Core Fixed Income, Core Plus Fixed Income, Intermediate Duration, International Fixed Income, Investment Grade Fixed Income, Limited Duration, Long Duration Fixed Income and Municipal Portfolios, all of which except the International Fixed Income Portfolio are considered diversified for purposes of the 1940 Act (each referred to as a “Portfolio”). The financial statements of the remaining portfolios of the Fund are presented separately.

The Fund offers up to five different classes of shares for certain Portfolios — Class I shares, Investment Class shares, Class P shares, Class H shares and Class L shares. Each class of shares has identical voting rights (except shareholders of each Class have exclusive voting rights regarding any matter relating solely to that particular Class of shares), dividend, liquidation and other rights, except each class bears different shareholder service fees as described in Note D.

A. Significant Accounting Policies: The following significant accounting policies are in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. Such policies are consistently followed by the Portfolios in the preparation of the financial statements. U.S. generally accepted accounting principles 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: Bonds and other fixed income securities may be valued according to the broadest and most representative market. In addition, bonds and other fixed income securities may be valued on the basis of prices provided by a pricing service. The prices provided by a pricing service take into account broker dealer market price quotations for institutional size trading in similar groups of securities, security quality, maturity, coupon and other security characteristics as well as any developments related to the specific securities. Debt securities purchased with remaining maturities of 60 days or less are valued at amortized cost, if it approximates market value. Equity securities listed on a U.S. exchange are valued at the latest quoted sales price on the valuation date. Equity securities listed or traded on NASDAQ, for which market quotations are available, are valued at the NASDAQ Official Closing Price. Securities listed on a foreign exchange are valued at their closing price, except as noted below. Unlisted and listed equity securities not traded on the valuation date, for which market quotations are readily available, are valued at the mean between the current bid and asked prices obtained from reputable brokers.

All other securities and investments for which market values are not readily available, including restricted securities, and those securities for which it is inappropriate to determine prices in accordance with the aforementioned procedures, are valued at fair value as determined in good faith under procedures adopted by the Board of Trustees (the “Trustees”), although the actual calculations may be done by others. 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.

Most foreign markets close before the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE). Occasionally, developments that could affect the closing prices of securities and other assets may occur between the times at which valuations of such securities are determined (that is, close of the foreign market on which the securities trade) and the close of business on the NYSE. If these developments are expected to materially affect the value of the securities, the valuations may be adjusted to reflect the estimated fair value as of the close of the NYSE, as determined in good faith under procedures established by the Trustees.

2.Futures: Financial futures contracts (secured by cash and securities deposited with brokers as “initial margin”) are valued based upon their quoted daily settlement prices; changes in initial settlement value (represented by cash paid to or received from brokers as “variation margin”) are accounted for as unrealized appreciation (depreciation). When futures contracts are closed, the difference between the opening value at the date of purchase and the value at closing is recorded as realized gains (losses) in the Statements of Operations. “Due from (to) Broker” is comprised of initial margin and variation margin, as stated in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities.

Futures contracts may be used by each Portfolio in order to hedge against unfavorable changes in the value of securities or to attempt to realize profits from the value of the related securities.

Futures contracts involve market risk that may exceed the amounts recognized in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities. Risks arise from the possible movements in the prices of securities relating to these instruments. The change in value of futures contracts primarily corresponds with the value of their related securities, but may not precisely

Notes to Financial Statements (cont’d)

correlate with the change in value of such securities. In addition, there is the risk that a Portfolio may not be able to enter into a closing transaction because of an illiquid secondary market.

3.Securities Sold Short: Each Portfolio may sell securities short. A short sale is a transaction in which the Portfolio sells securities it may or may not own, but has borrowed, in anticipation of a decline in the market price of the securities. The Portfolio is obligated to replace the borrowed securities at their market price at the time of replacement. The Portfolio may have to pay a premium to borrow the securities as well as pay any dividends or interest payable on the securities until they are replaced. The Portfolio’s obligation to replace the securities borrowed in connection with a short sale will generally be secured by collateral deposited with the broker that consists of cash, U.S. government securities or other liquid high grade debt obligations. In addition, the Portfolio will either place in a segregated account with its custodian or denote on its custody records an amount of cash, U.S. government securities or other liquid high grade debt obligations equal to the difference, if any, between (1) the market value of the securities sold at the time they were sold short and (2) any cash, U.S. government securities or other liquid high grade debt obligations deposited as collateral with the broker in connection with the short sale (not including the proceeds of the short sale). Short sales by the Portfolios involve certain risks and special considerations. Possible losses from short sales differ from losses that could be incurred from a purchase of a security because losses from short sales may be unlimited, whereas losses from purchases cannot exceed the total amount invested.

4.Swap Agreements: The Fund adopted the provisions of the FASB Staff Position Paper No. FAS 133-1 and FIN 45-4, Disclosures about Credit Derivatives and Certain Guarantees: An Amendment of FASB Statement No. 133 and FASB Interpretation No. 45 (“FSP FAS 133-1 and FIN 45-4”), effective December 31, 2008. FSP FAS 133-1 and FIN 45-4 requires the seller of credit derivatives to provide additional disclosure about its credit derivatives. Each Portfolio (other than the Mid Cap Growth Portfolio) may enter into swap agreements to exchange the interest rate on, or return generated by, one nominal instrument for the return generated by another nominal instrument. Cash collateral for swap agreements, if applicable, is deposited with the broker serving as counterparty to the agreement, and is included in “Due from (to) Broker” on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities. The following summarizes swaps entered into by the Portfolios:

Credit Default Swaps: Certain Portfolios may enter into credit default swap contracts, a type of credit derivative, for hedging purposes or to gain exposure to a credit or index of credits in which the Portfolio may otherwise invest. A credit default swap is an agreement between two parties to exchange the credit risk of an issuer or index of issuers. A buyer of a credit default swap is said to buy protection by paying periodic fees in return for a contingent payment from the seller if the issuer has a credit event such as bankruptcy, a failure to pay outstanding obligations or deteriorating credit while the swap is outstanding. A seller of a credit default swap is said to sell protection and thus collects the periodic fees and profits if the credit of the issuer remains stable or improves while the swap is outstanding. The seller in a credit default swap contract would be required to pay an agreed-upon amount, to the buyer in the event of an adverse credit event of the issuer. This agreed-upon amount approximates the notional amount of the swap as disclosed in the table following the Portfolios of Investments and is estimated to be the maximum potential future payment that the seller could be required to make under the credit default contract. In the event of an adverse credit event, the seller generally does not have any contractual remedies against the issuer or any other third party. However, if a physical settlement is elected, the seller would receive the defaulted credit and, as a result, become a creditor of the issuer.

The current credit rating of each individual issuer is listed in the table following the Portfolios of Investments and serves as an indicator of the current status of the payment/performance risk of the credit derivative. Alternatively, for the credit default swaps on an index of credits, the quoted market prices and current values serve as an indicator of the current status of the payment/performance risk of the credit derivative. Generally, lower credit ratings and increasing market values, in absolute terms, represent a deterioration of the credit and a greater likelihood of an adverse credit event of the issuer.

The Portfolio accrues for the periodic fees on credit default swaps on a daily basis with the net amount accrued recorded within unrealized appreciation (depreciation) of swap contracts. Upon cash settlement of the periodic fees, the net amount is recorded as realized gain (loss) on swap contracts on the Statements of Operations. Net unrealized gains are recorded as an asset or net unrealized losses are reported as a liability on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities. The change in value of the swap contracts is reported as unrealized gains (losses) on the Statements of Operations. Payments received or made upon entering into a credit default swap contract, if any, are recorded as realized gain (loss) on the Statements of Operations upon termination or maturity of the swap. Credit default swaps may involve greater risks than if a Portfolio had invested in the issuer directly. Credit

Notes to Financial Statements (cont’d)

default swaps are subject to general market risk, counterparty risk and credit risk.

Interest Rate Swaps: Interest rate swaps involve the exchange of commitments to pay and receive interest based on a notional principal amount. The Portfolio accrues for interim payments on swap contracts on a daily basis, with the net amount recorded within unrealized appreciation (depreciation) of swap contracts on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities. Once interim payments are settled in cash, the net amount is recorded within realized gain (loss) on swaps on the Statements of Operations. In a zero-coupon interest rate swap, payments only occur at maturity, at which time one counterparty pays the total compounded fixed rate over the life of the swap and the other pays the total compounded floating rate that would have been earned had a series of LIBOR investments been rolled over through the life of the swap. The Portfolio amortizes its interest payment obligation over the life of the swap. The amortized portion of this payment is recorded within realized gain (loss) on the Statements of Operations. The unamortized portion of this payment is included in “Due from (to) Broker” on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities. Interest rate swaps are marked-to-market daily based upon quotations from market makers and the change, if any, is recorded as unrealized appreciation or depreciation in the Statements of Operations.

Total Return Swaps: Total return swaps involve commitments to pay interest in exchange for a market-linked return based on a notional amount. To the extent the total return of the security or index underlying the transaction exceeds or falls short of the offsetting interest rate obligation, the Portfolio will receive a payment from or make a payment to the counterparty, respectively. Total return swaps are marked-to-market daily based upon quotations from market makers and the change, if any, is recorded as unrealized appreciation or depreciation in the Statements of Operations. Periodic payments received or made at the end of each measurement period, but prior to termination, are recorded as realized gains (losses) in the Statements of Operations.

Realized gains (losses) on maturity or termination of swaps are presented in the Statements of Operations. Because there is no organized market for these swap agreements, the unrealized gain (loss) reported in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities may differ from that which would be realized in the event the Portfolio terminated its position in the agreement. Risks may arise upon entering into these agreements from the potential inability of the counterparties to meet the terms of the agreements and are generally limited to the amount of net interest payments to be received, if any, at the date of default. Risks also arise from potential losses from adverse market movements and such losses could exceed the related amounts shown in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities.

At March 31, 2009, the Portfolios did not have any outstanding total return swap contracts.

5.Structured Investments: Certain Portfolios may invest in structured investments whose values are linked either directly or inversely to changes in foreign currencies, interest rates, commodities, indices, equity securities or other underlying instruments. A Portfolio uses these securities to increase or decrease its exposure to different underlying instruments and to gain exposure to markets that might be difficult to invest in through conventional securities. Structured investments may be more volatile than their underlying instruments, but any loss is limited to the amount of the original investment.

6.Delayed Delivery Commitments: Each Portfolio may purchase or sell securities on a when-issued or forward commitment basis. Payment and delivery may take place a month or more after the date of the transaction. The price of the underlying securities and the date when the securities will be delivered and paid for are fixed at the time the transaction is negotiated. Liquid securities or cash is designated in an amount at least equal to these commitments. Securities held for this purpose cannot be sold while this strategy is outstanding, unless replaced with other assets. As a result, there is a possibility that as designated assets reach certain levels, a Portfolio may lose some flexibility in managing its investments, responding to shareholder redemption requests, or meeting other current obligations. Such transactions may give rise to a form of leverage. This can cause a Portfolio to be more volatile than if it had not been leveraged, as leverage tends to exaggerate the effect of any increase or decrease in the value of the Portfolio’s securities.

7.Foreign Currency Translation and Foreign Currency Exchange Contracts: The books and records of the Portfolios are maintained in U.S. dollars. Foreign currency amounts are translated into U.S. dollars at the bid prices of such currencies against U.S. dollars quoted by a bank. Net realized gains (losses) on foreign currency transactions represent net foreign exchange gains (losses) from foreign currency exchange contracts, disposition of foreign currencies, currency gains (losses) realized between the trade and settlement dates on securities transactions, and the difference between the amount of investment income and foreign withholding taxes recorded on a Portfolio’s books and the U.S. dollar equivalent of amounts actually received or paid.

A foreign currency exchange contract is an agreement between two parties to buy or sell currency at a set price on a

119

Notes to Financial Statements (cont’d)

future date. Each Portfolio (except the Core Fixed Income and Long Duration Fixed Income Portfolios) may enter into foreign currency exchange contracts to protect securities and related receivables and payables against future changes in foreign exchange rates and, in certain situations, to gain exposure to foreign currencies. Certain Portfolios may also enter into cross currency hedges which involve the sale of one currency against the positive exposure to a different currency. Cross currency hedges may be used for hedging purposes or to establish an active exposure to the exchange rate between any two currencies. Fluctuations in the value of such contracts are recorded as unrealized appreciation or depreciation; realized gains (losses), which are disclosed in the Statements of Operations, include net gains (losses) on contracts which have been terminated by settlements. Risks may arise upon entering into these contracts from the potential inability of counterparties to meet the terms of their contracts and are generally limited to the amount of unrealized gain on the contract, if any, at the date of default. Risks may also arise from unanticipated movements in the value of the foreign currency relative to the U.S. dollar.

Certain Portfolios’ net assets include foreign denominated securities and currency. The net assets of these Portfolios are presented at the foreign exchange rates and market values at the close of the period. The Portfolios do not isolate that portion of the results of operations arising as a result of changes in the foreign exchange rates from the fluctuations arising from changes in the market prices of the securities held at period end. Similarly, the Portfolios do not isolate the effect of changes in foreign exchange rates from the fluctuations arising from changes in the market prices of securities sold during the period. Accordingly, the components of realized and unrealized foreign currency gains (losses) representing foreign exchange changes on investments is included in the reported net realized and unrealized gains (losses) on investment transactions and balances. Changes in currency exchange rates will affect the value of and investment income from such securities and currency.

Foreign security and currency transactions may involve certain considerations and risks not typically associated with those of U.S. dollar denominated transactions as a result of, among other factors, the possibly lower level of governmental supervision, relative currency valuation fluctuation, regulation of foreign securities markets and the possibility of political or economic instability.

8.Purchased and Written Options: Certain Portfolios may write covered call and put options on portfolio securities and other financial instruments. Premiums are received and are recorded as liabilities. The liabilities are subsequently adjusted to reflect the current value of the options written. Premiums received from writing options which expire are treated as realized gains. Premiums received from writing options which are exercised or are closed are added to or offset against the proceeds or amount paid on the transaction to determine the net realized gain (loss). By writing a covered call option, a Portfolio, in exchange for the premium, foregoes the opportunity for capital appreciation above the exercise price should the market price of the underlying security increase. By writing a put option, a Portfolio, in exchange for the premium, accepts the risk of having to purchase a security at an exercise price that is above the current market price.

Certain Portfolios may purchase call and put options on their portfolio securities or other financial instruments. Each Portfolio may purchase call options to protect against an increase in the price of the security or financial instrument it anticipates purchasing. Each Portfolio may purchase put options on securities which it holds or other financial instruments to protect against a decline in the value of the security or financial instrument or to close out covered written put positions. Risks may arise from an imperfect correlation between the change in market value of the securities held by the Portfolio and the prices of options relating to the securities purchased or sold by the Portfolio and from the possible lack of a liquid secondary market for an option. The maximum exposure to loss for any purchased option is limited to the premium initially paid for the option.

9.Repurchase Agreements: The Portfolios may enter into repurchase agreements under which a Portfolio lends excess 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 and/or retention of the collateral or proceeds may be subject to legal proceedings. The Fund, along with other affiliated investment companies, may utilize a joint trading account for the purpose of entering into repurchase agreements.

10.Redemption Fees: Shares of the U.S. Small Cap Value and International Fixed Income Portfolios redeemed within 30 days of purchase may be subject to a 2% redemption fee, payable to the Portfolio. The redemption fee is designed to protect each Portfolio and its shareholders from the effects of short-term trading. These fees, if any, are included on the Statements of Changes in Net Assets. Prior to January 31, 2009, shares of the Balanced, Mid Cap Growth, U.S. Mid Cap Value, Value, Core Fixed Income, Core Plus Fixed Income, Intermediate Duration, Investment Grade Fixed Income, Limited Duration, Long Duration Fixed Income and Municipal Portfolios redeemed within seven days of purchase may be subject to a 2% redemption fee, payable to the Portfolio.

11.New Accounting Pronouncements: On April 9, 2009, Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Staff Position No. 157-4, Determining Fair Value When the Volume and Level of Activity for the Asset or Liability Have Significantly Decreased and Identifying Transactions That Are Not Orderly (“FSP 157-4”). FSP 157-4 provides additional guidance for estimating fair value in accordance with SFAS 157, when the volume and level of activity for the asset or liability have significantly decreased. FSP 157-4 also requires additional disaggregation of the current SFAS 157 required disclosures. FSP 157-4 is effective for interim and annual reporting periods ending after June 15, 2009, and shall be applied prospectively. At this time, management is evaluating the implications of FSP 157-4 and the impact it will have on the financial statement disclosures.

On March 19, 2008, FASB released Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 161, “Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities” (“SFAS 161”). SFAS 161 requires qualitative disclosures about objectives and strategies for using derivatives, quantitative disclosures about fair value amounts of and gains and losses on derivative instruments, and disclosures about credit-risk-related contingent features in derivative agreements. The application of SFAS 161 is required for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after November 15, 2008. At this time, management does not believe the adoption of SFAS 161 will impact the financial statement amounts; however, additional footnote disclosures may be required about the use of derivative instruments and hedging items.

12.Fair Value Measurement: The Portfolios adopted FASB Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements” (“SFAS 157”), effective October 1, 2008. In accordance with SFAS 157, fair value is defined as the price that the Portfolios 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. SFAS 157 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 the Portfolios’ investments. The inputs are summarized in the three broad levels listed below:

· Level 1 – quoted prices in active markets for identical securities

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

· Level 3 – significant unobservable inputs (including each Portfolio’s own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments)

The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities, are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.

13.Other: Security transactions are accounted for on the date the securities are purchased or sold. Realized gains (losses) on the sale of investment securities are determined on the specific identified cost basis. Dividend income and distributions are recorded on the ex-dividend date (except for certain foreign dividends that may be recorded as soon as the Portfolio is informed of such dividends), net of applicable withholding taxes where collection is in doubt. Interest income is recognized on the accrual basis except where collection is in doubt.

Discounts and premiums on securities purchased are accreted/amortized over their respective lives. Most expenses of the Fund can be directly attributed to a particular Portfolio. Expenses which cannot be directly attributed are apportioned among the Portfolios on the basis of their relative net assets. Income, expenses (other than class specific expenses) and realized and unrealized gains (losses) are allocated to each class of shares based upon their relative net assets.

During the six months ended March 31, 2009, the Portfolio had purchased 919 shares and sold 59,553 shares of the Emerging Markets Portfolio for a realized loss of $939,843.

A summary of the Balanced Portfolio’s transactions in shares of the Emerging Markets Portfolio during the six months ended March 31, 2009 is as follows:

Portfolio	Broker Commissions (000)
Mid Cap Growth	$11
U.S. Mid Cap Value	12
U.S. Small Cap Value	5
Value	1

H. Securities Lending. Certain Portfolios may lend securities to qualified financial institutions, such as broker-dealers, to earn additional income. Any increase or decrease in the fair value of the securities loaned that might occur and any interest earned or dividends declared on those securities during the term of the loan would remain in the Portfolio. Portfolios that lend securities receive cash or securities as collateral in an amount equal to or exceeding 100% of the current fair value of the loaned securities. The collateral is marked to market daily, by the securities lending agent, to ensure that a minimum of 100% collateral coverage is maintained.

Based on pre-established guidelines, the securities lending agent invests any cash collateral that is received in an affiliated money market portfolio and repurchase agreements backed by U.S. Treasury and Agency securities. Securities lending income is generated from the earnings on the invested collateral and borrowing fees, less any rebates owed to the borrowers and compensation to the lending agent, and is included in the

125

2009 Semi-Annual Report

Notes to Financial Statements (cont’d)

Portfolios’ Statements of Operations in affiliated dividend income and interest income. Risks in securities lending transactions are that a borrower may not provide additional collateral when required or return the securities when due, and that the value of the short-term investments will be less than the amount of cash collateral plus any rebate that is required to be returned to the borrower.

The value of loaned securities and related collateral outstanding at March 31, 2009 are as follows:

Portfolio	Value of Loaned Securities (000)	Value of Collateral (000)
Balanced	$  4,736	$  4,821	*
Core Fixed Income	2,469	2,520
Core Plus Fixed Income	39,425	40,278	*
Investment Grade Fixed Income	15,566	15,872	*

* Included in these amounts are approximately $3,647,000, $6,321,000 and $1,890,000 for the Balanced, Core Plus Fixed Income and Investment Grade Fixed Income Portfolios, respectively, which was received in the form of short-term pooled securities, which the Portfolios cannot sell or repledge and accordingly are not reflected in the Portfolios of Investments.

For the six months ended March 31, 2009, the following Portfolios had income from securities lending (after rebates to borrowers and fee paid to securities lending agent):

Portfolio	Net Interest Earned by Portfolio (000)
Balanced	$    1
Value*	11
Core Fixed Income	33
Core Plus Fixed Income	201
Investment Grade Fixed Income	49

* At March 31, 2009, the Value Portfolio had no outstanding securities on loan.

I. Federal Income Taxes. It is each Portfolio’s intention 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.

Dividend income and distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Interest income is recognized on the accrual basis. Dividends from net investment income, if any, are declared and paid quarterly except for those of the Intermediate Duration, Limited Duration and Municipal Portfolios which are declared and paid monthly and those of the Mid Cap Growth, U.S. Mid Cap Value and U.S. Small Cap Value Portfolios which are declared and paid annually. Net realized capital gains, if any, are distributed at least annually.

A Portfolio may be subject to taxes imposed by countries in which it invests. Such taxes are generally based on income and/or capital gains earned or repatriated. Taxes are accrued based on net investment income, net realized gains and net unrealized appreciation as income and/or capital gains are earned. Taxes may also be based on transactions in foreign currency and are accrued based on the value of investments denominated in such currency.

Financial Accounting Standards Board Interpretation No. 48 Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes (FIN 48) sets forth a minimum threshold for financial statement recognition of the benefit of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. 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 on the Statement of Operations. The Portfolios file tax returns with the U.S. Internal Revenue Service, New York and various states. Generally, each of the tax years in the four year period ended September 30, 2008, remains subject to examination by taxing authorities.

The tax character of the Municipal Portfolio’s ordinary income distributions include tax exempt as well as taxable components. The undistributed ordinary income for the Municipal Portfolio includes tax exempt as well as taxable components.

The tax character for distributions paid may differ from the character of distributions shown on 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 2008 and 2007 were as follows:

	2008 Distributions Paid From:			2007 Distributions Paid From:
Portfolio	Ordinary Income (000)	Tax- Exempt Income (000)	Long-term Capital Gain (000)	Ordinary Income (000)	Tax- Exempt Income (000)	Long-term Capital Gain (000)

which may differ from U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. The book/tax differences are either considered temporary or permanent in nature.

Temporary differences are generally due to differing book and tax treatments in the timing of the recognition of gains (losses) on securities, options, swaps, forwards and futures, including Post October losses.

Permanent differences, primarily due to differing treatments of gains (losses) related to REIT adjustments, foreign currency transactions, foreign futures transactions, basis adjustments for swap transactions, as of adjustment for current year interest only/hybrid overaccrual, paydown adjustments, capital gains dividends reclass, basis adjustments for bifurcation and in-kind redemptions in the following reclassifications among the Portfolios’ components of net assets at September 30, 2008:

This Policy applies to individual clients who are current and former advisory clients of certain Morgan Stanley Investment Management’s U.S. investment advisers and to current and former individual investors in the Fund. 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.

Please note that we may amend this Policy at any time, and will inform you of any changes to this 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 safeguarding such information. We strive to maintain the privacy of such information while we help you achieve your financial objectives.

This Policy describes what nonpublic personal information we collect about you, how we collect it, when we may share it with others, and how others may use it. It discusses the steps you may take to limit our sharing of information about you with affiliated Morgan Stanley companies (“other Morgan Stanley companies”), including but not limited to our global financial services affiliates that are part of our integrated securities and investment management business, and our credit services 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 or your accounts as “personal information.”

1.  WHAT PERSONAL INFORMATION DO WE COLLECT ABOUT YOU?

To better serve you and manage our business, it is important that we collect and maintain accurate information about you. We obtain this information from applications and other forms you submit to us, from your dealings with us, from consumer reporting agencies and from third parties and other sources. For example:

· We collect information such as your name, address, e-mail address, phone number and account title.

· We may obtain information about account balances, your use of account(s) and the types of products and services you prefer to receive from us through your dealings and transactions with us and other sources.

· We may obtain information about your creditworthiness and credit history from consumer reporting agencies.

b.  Information we discloses to third parties:

We do not disclose personal information that we collect about you to nonaffiliated third parties except to enable them to provide marketing services on our behalf, to perform joint marketing agreements with other financial institutions, and as otherwise required or permitted by law. For example, some instances where we may disclose information about you to third parties include: for servicing and processing transactions, to offer our own products and services, to protect against fraud, for institutional risk control, to respond to judicial process or to perform services on our behalf.

Morgan Stanley recognizes that your relationship with your Financial Advisor is important.

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

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

We maintain physical, electronic and procedural security measures to help safeguard the personal information we collect about you. We have internal policies governing the proper handling of client information.

4.  HOW CAN YOU LIMIT THE SHARING OF CERTAIN TYPES OF PERSONAL INFORMATION WITH OTHER MORGAN STANLEY COMPANIES?

We respect your privacy and offer you choices as to whether we share with other Morgan Stanley companies personal information that was collected to determine your eligibility for products and services you request (“eligibility information”). Please note that, even if you direct us not to share eligibility information with other Morgan Stanley companies (“opt-out”), we may still share personal information, including eligibility information, with those companies in circumstances excluded from the opt-out under applicable law, such as to process transactions or to service your account. We may also share certain other types of personal information with other Morgan Stanley companies ‚Äî such as your name, address, telephone number, e-mail address and account number(s), and information about your transactions and experiences with us.
