DEMETER MANAGEMENT CORPORATION 522 Fifth Avenue, 13th Floor New York, NY 10036 Telephone (212) 296-1999 MORGAN STANLEY SPECTRUM SERIES ANNUAL REPORT 2008 Dear Limited Partner: This marks the ninth annual report for Morgan Stanley Spectrum Currency L.P., the fifteenth annual report for Morgan Stanley Spectrum Global Balanced L.P., Morgan Stanley Spectrum Strategic L.P., and Morgan Stanley Spectrum Technical L.P., and the eighteenth annual report for Morgan Stanley Spectrum Select L.P. The Net Asset Value per Unit for each of the five Morgan Stanley Spectrum funds ("Fund(s)") as of December 31, 2008, was as follows:
% CHANGE FUNDS N.A.V. FOR YEAR ----------------------------------------- Spectrum Currency $11.16 13.4% ----------------------------------------- Spectrum Global Balanced $17.50 12.0% ----------------------------------------- Spectrum Select $40.80 30.6% ----------------------------------------- Spectrum Strategic $18.82 4.5% ----------------------------------------- Spectrum Technical $22.76 12.6% -----------------------------------------
Since its inception in July 2000, Spectrum Currency has returned 11.6% (a compound annualized return of 1.3%). Since their inception in November 1994, Spectrum Global Balanced has returned 75.0% (a compound annualized return of 4.0%), Spectrum Strategic has returned 88.2% (a compound annualized return of 4.6%), and Spectrum Technical has returned 127.6% (a compound annualized return of 6.0%). Since its inception in August 1991, Spectrum Select has returned 308.0% (a compound annualized return of 8.4%). Detailed performance information for each Fund is located in the body of the financial report. (Note: all returns are net of all fees). For each Fund, we provide a trading results by sector chart that portrays trading gains and trading losses for the year in each sector in which the Fund participates. In the case of Spectrum Currency, we provide the trading gains and trading losses for the five major currencies in which the Fund participates, and composite information for all other "minor" currencies traded within the Fund. The trading results by sector charts indicate the year's composite percentage returns generated by the specific assets dedicated to trading within each market sector in which each Fund participates. Please note that there is not an equal amount of assets in each market sector, and the specific allocations of assets by a Fund to each sector will vary over time within a predetermined range. Below each chart is a description of the factors that influenced trading gains and trading losses within each Fund during the year. After the November 30, 2008 monthly close, Demeter Management Corporation ("Demeter") no longer offers for purchase or exchange units of limited partnership interest in Spectrum Currency, Spectrum Global Balanced, Spectrum Select, Spectrum Strategic, and Spectrum Technical. For more information, please contact your Financial Advisor and refer to your Morgan Stanley Spectrum Series Supplement dated September 17, 2008. Effective December 2, 2008, Chesapeake Capital Corporation ("Chesapeake"), in consultation with Demeter, determined that it was appropriate to begin increasing the overall leverage of Spectrum Technical's (the "Partnership") assets traded pursuant to Chesapeake's Diversified 2XL Program (the "Program") to 75% of the customary leverage utilized by the Program. By agreement between Chesapeake and Demeter, the leverage employed by the Program since October 1, 2007, had been approximately 62% of the customary leverage utilized by the Program. Chesapeake, in further consultation with Demeter, will determine if, and at what time, the leverage may be further readjusted. Such adjustments to the leverage employed will not exceed 100% of the customary leverage utilized by Chesapeake in the Program. Such increases/decreases in leverage levels will occur without prior notice to investors. Graham Capital Management, L.P. ("Graham"), one of the trading advisors to Morgan Stanley Spectrum Select L.P. ("Spectrum Select"), notified the General Partner that Graham Global Diversified Program and Graham K4 Program were merged into one trading program, Graham K4D-15 ("K4D-15"), effective January 1, 2009. Consequently, effective January 1, 2009, Graham began trading a portion of Spectrum Select's assets pursuant to K4D-15 at the standard leverage. Prior to January 1, 2009, Graham traded a portion of Spectrum Select's assets pursuant to Graham Global Diversified Program at 1.5 times the standard leverage it applied for such program.

MORGAN STANLEY SPECTRUM CURRENCY L.P. [CHART] Year Ended December 31, 2008 ----------------------- Australian dollar 3.90% British pound 1.02% Euro 3.07% Japanese yen 3.12% Swiss franc -0.53% Minor Currencies 11.49% Note:Reflects trading results only and does not include fees or interest income. Minor currencies may include, but are not limited to, the South African rand, Thai baht, Singapore dollar, Mexican peso, New Zealand dollar, Polish zloty, Brazilian real, Norwegian krone, Swedish krona, Czech koruna, Chilean peso, Russian ruble, and Taiwan dollar. MORGAN STANLEY SPECTRUM CURRENCY L.P. FACTORS INFLUENCING ANNUAL TRADING GAINS: . The most significant trading gains for the year were experienced primarily during the first half of the year from long positions in the Australian dollar, euro, Mexican peso, Chilean peso, and Brazilian real versus the U.S. dollar as the value of the U.S. dollar weakened against most of its major rivals amid speculation that signs of a slowing U.S. economy might spur the U.S. Federal Reserve to lower interest rates at a faster pace than other central banks around the world. Gains were also experienced during July from long positions in the Mexican peso and Brazilian real versus the U.S. dollar as the value of these currencies strengthened against the U.S. dollar after the Bank of Mexico raised interest rates to curb accelerating inflation, and expectations increased that the Bank of Brazil would raise interest rates at its next policy meeting. Further gains were experienced during September, October, and November from newly established short positions in the Australian dollar, euro, Mexican peso, and Chilean peso versus the U.S. dollar as the value of the U.S. dollar moved higher against most of its rivals in tandem with rising U.S. dollar-denominated Treasury bonds amid a "flight-to-quality". During March, gains were recorded from long positions in the Japanese yen versus the U.S. dollar as the value of the U.S. dollar fell against its major rivals due to the aforementioned speculation of interest rate cuts by the U.S. Federal Reserve. During July and August, gains were also experienced from short positions in the Japanese yen versus the U.S. dollar as the value of the Japanese yen declined relative to the U.S. dollar after Japan's government downgraded its assessment of the economy to "worsening," indicating that the six-year expansion of Japan's economy might have ended. Furthermore, gains were experienced throughout the fourth quarter from newly established long positions in the Japanese yen versus the U.S. dollar as the value of the Japanese yen increased relative to the U.S. dollar after mounting fears of a global economic recession prompted investors to sell higher-yielding assets funded by loans in Japan. Additional gains were achieved primarily during January, March, May, September, and October from short positions in the Korean won versus the U.S. dollar as the value of the Korean won fell against the U.S. dollar amid news of a widening Current-Account deficit out of Korea. FACTORS INFLUENCING ANNUAL TRADING LOSSES: . Trading losses for the year were recorded primarily during April and July from short positions in the Canadian dollar versus the U.S. dollar as the value of the Canadian dollar moved higher against the U.S. dollar amid rising energy prices and strong economic data. Further losses were incurred during September and October from both short and long positions in the Canadian dollar versus the U.S. dollar as the value of the Canadian dollar moved without consistent direction amid uncertainty regarding the health of these economies. Lastly, losses were recorded from both long and short positions in the Hungarian forint and Indian rupee versus the U.S. dollar as the value of the these currencies failed to move in a consistent direction throughout a majority of the first nine months of the year. MORGAN STANLEY SPECTRUM GLOBAL BALANCED L.P. [CHART] Year ended December 31, 2008 ---------------------------- Currencies 2.55% Global Interest Rates 5.44% Global Stock Indices -0.44% Energies 4.27% Metals 3.88% Agriculturals 4.16% Note:Reflects trading results only and does not include fees or interest income. FACTORS INFLUENCING ANNUAL TRADING GAINS: . The most significant trading gains for the year were experienced in the global interest rate sector during August, October, November, and December from long positions in European and Australian fixed-income futures as prices moved higher in a worldwide "flight-to-quality" following a drop in the global equity markets, as well as worries regarding the fundamental health of the global economy and financial system. . Additional gains were recorded in the energy markets throughout a majority of the first half of the year from long futures positions in crude oil and its related products as prices moved consistently higher due to speculation that OPEC might cut production, ongoing geopolitical concerns in the Middle East, growing Asian fuel consumption, and strong demand for physical commodities as an inflation hedge. Additional gains were recorded during the fourth quarter from newly established short futures positions in crude oil and its related products as prices sharply decreased on concerns that a substantial global economic slowdown might erode energy demand. MORGAN STANLEY SPECTRUM GLOBAL BALANCED L.P. FACTORS INFLUENCING ANNUAL TRADING GAINS: (continued) . Within the agricultural complex, gains were experienced, primarily during January and February, from long positions in wheat futures as prices increased to a record high amid diminishing stockpiles and consistently rising global demand. Meanwhile, long futures positions in the soybean complex resulted in gains primarily during January, February, and June as prices increased after a government report showed a rise in demand for U.S. supplies. During October, smaller gains resulted from short futures positions in wheat and cotton as prices declined amid rising inventories and growing concerns that slowing global economic growth might reduce demand for these commodities. . Gains were recorded in the metals sector during February from long positions in tin futures as prices moved higher on reports of falling inventories amid rising demand from China and India. During September, October, November, and December, additional gains were experienced from newly established short futures positions in nickel, aluminum, tin, lead, and zinc as prices declined amid worries that a global economic recession might erode demand for base metals. Elsewhere, long positions in platinum futures resulted in gains during February as prices moved higher amid continued uncertainty in the direction of the U.S. dollar and further "safe haven" buying due to weakness in global equity markets. . Within the currency sector, gains were achieved during February, March, and June from long positions in the euro and Japanese yen versus the U.S. dollar as the value of the U.S. dollar moved lower against these currencies during the first six months of the year amid speculation that signs of a slowing U.S. economy might spur the U.S. Federal Reserve to lower interest rates at a faster pace than other central banks around the world. Short positions in the Korean won versus the U.S. dollar resulted in additional gains, primarily during March, as the value of the Korean won decreased relative to the U.S. dollar amid news of a widening Current-Account deficit out of Korea. Further gains were experienced during October from newly established short positions in the Australian dollar, euro, and Canadian dollar versus the U.S. dollar as the value of the U.S. dollar moved higher against most of its rivals in tandem with rising U.S. dollar-denominated Treasury bonds amid the aforementioned "flight-to-quality" that affected the global interest rate futures markets. Meanwhile, gains were experienced throughout the fourth quarter from long positions in the Japanese yen versus the U.S. dollar as the value of the Japanese yen increased after mounting fears of a global economic recession prompted investors to sell higher-yielding assets funded by loans in Japan. FACTORS INFLUENCING ANNUAL TRADING LOSSES: . Trading losses for the year were incurred in the global stock index sector, primarily during January, from long positions in European and U.S. equity index futures as prices moved lower on concerns that mounting losses linked to U.S. sub-prime mortgage investments would continue to erode corporate earnings and curb global economic growth. MORGAN STANLEY SPECTRUM SELECT L.P. [CHART] Year Ended December 31, 2008 ----------------------- Currencies 3.19% Global Interest Rates 7.73% Global Stock Indices 9.47% Energies 10.26% Metals 3.32% Agriculturals 5.51% Note:Reflects trading results only and does not include fees or interest income.

Additional gains were recorded during the fourth quarter from newly established short futures positions in crude oil and its related products as prices sharply decreased on concerns that a substantial global economic slowdown might erode energy demand. . Additional gains were recorded in the global stock index sector during January, February, March, and June from short positions in U.S., European, and Pacific Rim equity index futures as prices decreased during the first half of the year on concerns that a persistent U.S. housing slump, mounting losses linked to U.S. sub-prime mortgage investments, rising commodity prices, and a weakening job market might restrain consumer spending, erode corporate earnings, and curb global economic growth. Additional gains were recorded during September and October as equity prices dropped sharply amid unprecedented U.S. financial market turmoil and growing concerns that efforts by central banks and governments around the world to support the financial system might not prevent a global recession. MORGAN STANLEY SPECTRUM SELECT L.P. FACTORS INFLUENCING ANNUAL TRADING GAINS: (continued) . Within the global interest rate sector, gains were experienced primarily during January, May, June, October, and November from long positions in U.S. and European fixed-income futures as prices moved higher in a worldwide "flight-to-quality" following the aforementioned drop in the global equity markets, as well as worries regarding the fundamental health of the global economy and financial system. . Further gains were recorded in the agricultural markets, primarily during January and February, from long positions in wheat futures as prices increased to a record high amid diminishing stockpiles and consistently rising global demand. Further gains were achieved during January, February, and June from long positions in corn futures as prices moved higher on supply concerns and rising demand for alternative biofuels. Meanwhile, long futures positions in the soybean complex also resulted in gains primarily during June as prices increased after a government report showed a rise in demand for U.S. supplies. During October, gains resulted from short futures positions in wheat and cotton as prices declined amid rising inventories and growing concerns that slowing global economic growth might reduce demand for these commodities. . Within the metals sector, gains were achieved, primarily during January and February, from long positions in platinum and silver futures as prices moved higher amid continued uncertainty in the direction of the U.S. dollar and further "safe haven" buying due to weakness in global equity markets. Meanwhile, gains were experienced, primarily during September, October, November, and December, from short futures positions in nickel, copper, zinc, aluminum, and tin as prices declined amid worries that a global economic recession might erode demand for base metals. . Finally, smaller gains were recorded in the currency markets during February, March, and May from long positions in the Mexican peso and euro versus the U.S. dollar as the value of the U.S. dollar moved lower against these currencies during the first six months of the year amid speculation that signs of a slowing U.S. economy might spur the U.S. Federal Reserve to lower interest rates at a faster pace than other central banks around the world. Short positions in the Korean won versus the U.S. dollar resulted in additional gains, primarily during March, as the value of the Korean won decreased relative to the U.S. dollar amid news of a widening Current-Account deficit out of Korea. Further gains were experienced during October and November from newly established short positions in the euro, British pound, and Mexican peso versus the U.S. dollar as the value of the U.S. dollar moved higher against most of its rivals in tandem with rising U.S. dollar-denominated Treasury bonds amid the aforementioned "flight-to-quality". Meanwhile, gains were experienced throughout the fourth quarter from long positions in the Japanese yen versus the U.S. dollar as the value of the Japanese yen increased after mounting fears of a global economic recession prompted investors to sell higher-yielding assets funded by loans in Japan.

FACTORS INFLUENCING ANNUAL TRADING GAINS: . The most significant trading gains were experienced in the agricultural markets primarily during January, February, April, and June, from long futures positions in the soybean complex and corn as prices increased amid news that global production might drop, rising energy prices might boost demand for alternative biofuels, and severe floods in the U.S. Midwest had damaged crops. Elsewhere, long positions in cocoa futures also resulted in gains as prices rose throughout the first half of the year, as well as during November and December, on speculation that crops in the Ivory Coast, the world's largest cocoa producer, were developing more slowly than anticipated. Meanwhile, gains were recorded throughout the first half of the year from long positions in coffee futures as prices increased on worries regarding future supply from Brazil, the world's largest coffee producer. Further gains were experienced from long positions in sugar futures as prices moved higher throughout the first half of the year due to ongoing supply concerns. . Within the global interest rate sector, gains were recorded throughout a majority of the year from long positions in U.S. and European fixed-income futures as prices moved higher amid a worldwide "flight-to-quality" due to a drop in the global equity markets and worries regarding the fundamental health of the global financial system. MORGAN STANLEY SPECTRUM STRATEGIC L.P. FACTORS INFLUENCING ANNUAL TRADING GAINS: (continued) . Additional gains were recorded in the currency markets during February, March, and May from long positions in the Australian dollar, euro, and British pound versus the U.S. dollar as the value of the U.S. dollar moved lower against these currencies during the first six months of the year amid speculation that signs of a slowing U.S. economy might spur the U.S. Federal Reserve to lower interest rates at a faster pace than other central banks around the world. Further gains were experienced during October and November from short positions in the South African rand, Australian dollar, euro, and British pound versus the U.S. dollar as the value of the U.S. dollar moved higher against most of its rivals in tandem with rising U.S. dollar-denominated Treasury bonds amid the aforementioned "flight-to-quality". Additional gains were achieved in December from newly established long positions in the euro and Australian dollar versus the U.S. dollar as the value of the U.S. dollar moved lower against these currencies after the U.S. Federal Reserve cut its benchmark interest rate to an unprecedented target range of 0% to 0.25%. . Lastly, gains were achieved in the global stock index sector during February, March, and June from short positions in U.S., British, and Japanese equity index futures as prices decreased during the first half of the year on concerns that a persistent U.S. housing slump, mounting losses linked to U.S. sub-prime mortgage investments, rising commodity prices, and a weakening job market might restrain consumer spending, erode corporate earnings, and curb global economic growth. Additional gains were recorded during September and October as equity prices dropped sharply amid unprecedented U.S. financial market turmoil and growing concerns that efforts by central banks and governments around the world to support the financial system might not prevent a global recession. FACTORS INFLUENCING ANNUAL TRADING LOSSES: . Trading losses for the year were experienced in the metals markets primarily during March, April, May, July, September, and October from long futures positions in zinc and nickel as prices declined on concerns that slowing economic growth might erode demand for base metals. Meanwhile, long positions in palladium and platinum resulted in additional losses as prices dropped during the third quarter due to a sharp rise in the value of the U.S. dollar. . Lastly, losses were incurred within the energy sector primarily during the third quarter from long futures positions in crude oil as prices moved lower amid signs that the U.S. economic slump might extend into 2009 and curb future energy demand. Elsewhere, further losses were experienced from long positions in natural gas futures as prices decreased sharply in July amid rising inventories and news that the Atlantic hurricane season's first storm had avoided the gas-producing fields in the Gulf of Mexico. Finally, newly established short futures positions in natural gas resulted in losses during August as prices reversed higher during the latter half of July on concerns that Hurricane Gustav might threaten oil production in the Gulf of Mexico.

The most significant trading gains were recorded in the global stock index markets during January, March, and June from short positions in U.S., European, and Pacific Rim equity index futures as prices decreased during the first half of the year on concerns that a persistent U.S. housing slump, mounting losses linked to U.S. sub-prime mortgage investments, rising commodity prices, and a weakening job market might restrain consumer spending, erode corporate earnings, and curb global economic growth. Additional gains were recorded during September and October as prices dropped sharply amid unprecedented U.S. financial market turmoil and growing concerns that efforts by central banks and governments around the world to support the financial system might not prevent a global recession. . Within the energy sector, gains were experienced throughout a majority of the first half of the year from long futures positions in crude oil and its related products as prices moved consistently higher due to speculation that OPEC might cut production, ongoing geopolitical concerns in the Middle East, growing Asian fuel consumption, and strong demand for physical commodities as an inflation hedge. Additional gains were recorded during the fourth quarter from newly established short futures positions in crude oil and its related products as prices sharply decreased on concerns that a substantial global economic slowdown might erode energy demand.

Within the currency sector, gains were achieved, primarily during February, March, May, and June, from short positions in the U.S. dollar versus the euro and Mexican peso as the value of the U.S. dollar weakened against most of its major rivals during the first six months of the year amid speculation that signs of a slowing U.S. economy might spur the U.S. Federal Reserve to lower interest rates at a faster pace than other central banks around the world. Further gains were experienced during October and November from newly established short positions in the British pound versus the U.S. dollar as the value of the U.S. dollar moved higher in tandem with rising U.S. dollar-denominated Treasury bonds amid a "flight-to-quality". Additionally, the value of the British pound fell on estimates that the U.K. economy might contract significantly in 2009. . Further gains were achieved in the global interest rate sector primarily during January, February, August, October, November, and December from long positions in U.S., Australian, and Canadian fixed-income futures as prices moved higher in a worldwide "flight-to-quality" following the aforementioned drop in the global equity markets, as well as worries regarding the fundamental health of the global economy and financial system. . Additional gains were experienced in the agricultural complex from long positions in cocoa futures primarily during January, February, April, and June as prices moved higher amid supply disruptions in the Ivory Coast, the world's largest cocoa producer. Meanwhile, short futures positions in live cattle and lean hogs resulted in gains primarily during February, March, and October as prices declined amid rising supplies and growing concerns that slowing global economic growth might reduce demand. Elsewhere, gains were experienced, primarily during January, February, April, and June, from long positions in corn futures as prices moved higher on supply concerns and rising demand for alternative biofuels. . Lastly, gains were experienced in the metals markets primarily during September, October, November, and December from short futures positions in aluminum and zinc as prices declined amid worries that a global economic recession might erode demand for base metals. Elsewhere, gains were recorded, primarily during January and February, from long positions in gold and silver futures as prices moved higher amid continued uncertainty in the direction of the U.S. dollar and further "safe haven" buying because of weakness in global equity markets. MORGAN STANLEY SPECTRUM SERIES MANAGEMENT'S REPORT ON INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING Demeter Management Corporation ("Demeter"), the general partner of Morgan Stanley Spectrum Currency L.P., Morgan Stanley Spectrum Global Balanced L.P., Morgan Stanley Spectrum Select L.P., Morgan Stanley Spectrum Strategic L.P., and Morgan Stanley Spectrum Technical L.P. (individually, a "Partnership", or collectively, the "Partnerships"), is responsible for the management of the Partnerships. Management of Demeter ("Management") is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting. The internal control over financial reporting is designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. The Partnerships' internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that: . Pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the Partnerships; . Provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that the Partnerships' transactions are being made only in accordance with authorizations of Management and directors; and . Provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of the Partnerships' assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements. Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate. Management assessed the effectiveness of each Partnership's internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2008. In making this assessment, Management used the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission in Internal Control--Integrated Framework. Based on our assessment and those criteria, Management believes that each Partnership maintained effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2008. Deloitte & Touche LLP, the Partnerships' independent registered public accounting firm, has issued an audit report on the Partnerships' internal control over financial reporting. This report, which expresses an unqualified opinion on Management's assessment and on the effectiveness of the Partnerships' internal control over financial reporting, appears under "Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm" on the following page. /s/ Walter Davis Walter J.

Angstadt Chief Financial Officer Demeter Management Corporation New York, New York March 30, 2009 MORGAN STANLEY SPECTRUM SERIES REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM To the Limited Partners and the General Partner of Morgan Stanley Spectrum Currency L.P., Morgan Stanley Spectrum Global Balanced L.P., Morgan Stanley Spectrum Select L.P., Morgan Stanley Spectrum Strategic L.P., and Morgan Stanley Spectrum Technical L.P. : We have audited the internal control over financial reporting of Morgan Stanley Spectrum Currency L.P., Morgan Stanley Spectrum Global Balanced L.P., Morgan Stanley Spectrum Select L.P., Morgan Stanley Spectrum Strategic L.P., and Morgan Stanley Spectrum Technical L.P. (collectively, the "Partnerships") as of December 31, 2008, based on criteria established in Internal Control--Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. The Partnerships' management is responsible for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting, included in the accompanying Management's Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Partnerships' internal control over financial reporting based on our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. Our audit included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk, and performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion. A company's internal control over financial reporting is a process designed by, or under the supervision of, the company's principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, and effected by the company's board of directors, management, and other personnel to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company's internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company's assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements. Because of the inherent limitations of internal control over financial reporting, including the possibility of collusion or improper management override of controls, material misstatements due to error or fraud may not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. Also, projections of any evaluation of the effectiveness of the internal control over financial reporting to future periods are subject to the risk that the controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate. In our opinion, the Partnerships maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2008, based on the criteria established in Internal Control--Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. We have also audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2008 of the Partnerships and our report dated March 30, 2009 expressed an unqualified opinion on those financial statements. /s/ Deloitte & Touche LLP New York, New York March 30, 2009 MORGAN STANLEY SPECTRUM SERIES REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM To the Limited Partners and the General Partner of Morgan Stanley Spectrum Currency L.P., Morgan Stanley Spectrum Global Balanced L.P., Morgan Stanley Spectrum Select L.P., Morgan Stanley Spectrum Strategic L.P., and Morgan Stanley Spectrum Technical L.P. : We have audited the accompanying statements of financial condition of Morgan Stanley Spectrum Currency L.P., Morgan Stanley Spectrum Global Balanced L.P., Morgan Stanley Spectrum Select L.P., Morgan Stanley Spectrum Strategic L.P., and Morgan Stanley Spectrum Technical L.P.

These financial statements are the responsibility of the Partnerships' management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion. In our opinion, such financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Morgan Stanley Spectrum Currency L.P., Morgan Stanley Spectrum Global Balanced L.P., Morgan Stanley Spectrum Select L.P., Morgan Stanley Spectrum Strategic L.P., and Morgan Stanley Spectrum Technical L.P. at December 31, 2008 and 2007, and the results of their operations, their changes in partners' capital, and their cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2008, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. As discussed in Note 1, the Partnerships modified their classification of cash within the 2006 statements of cash flows to conform to 2007 and 2008 presentation. We have also audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the Partnerships' internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2008, based on the criteria established in Internal Control--Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission and our report dated March 30, 2009 expressed an unqualified opinion on the Partnerships' internal control over financial reporting. /s/ Deloitte & Touche LLP New York, New York March 30, 2009 MORGAN STANLEY SPECTRUM CURRENCY L.P.

MORGAN STANLEY SPECTRUM SERIES NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES ORGANIZATION. Morgan Stanley Spectrum Currency L.P. ("Spectrum Currency"), Morgan Stanley Spectrum Global Balanced L.P. ("Spectrum Global Balanced"), Morgan Stanley Spectrum Select L.P. ("Spectrum Select"), Morgan Stanley Spectrum Strategic L.P. ("Spectrum Strategic"), and Morgan Stanley Spectrum Technical L.P. ("Spectrum Technical") (individually, a "Partnership", or collectively, the "Partnerships"), are limited partnerships organized to engage primarily in the speculative trading of futures contracts, options on futures and forward contracts, and forward contracts on physical commodities and other commodity interests, including, but not limited to, foreign currencies, financial instruments, metals, energy, and agricultural products (collectively, "Futures Interests"). The Partnerships may buy or write put and call options through listed exchanges and the over-the-counter market. The buyer of an option has the right to purchase (in the case of a call option) or sell (in the case of a put option) a specified quantity of a specific Futures Interest or underlying asset at a specified price prior to or on a specified expiration date. The writer of an option is exposed to the risk of loss if the market price of a Futures Interest or underlying asset declines (in the case of a put option) or increases (in the case of a call option). The writer of an option can never profit by more than the premium paid by the buyer but can lose an unlimited amount. Premiums received/premiums paid from writing/purchasing options are recorded as liabilities/assets on the Statements of Financial Condition and are subsequently adjusted to fair values. The difference between the fair value of an option and the premiums received/premiums paid is treated as an unrealized gain or loss. MORGAN STANLEY SPECTRUM SERIES NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued) The general partner of each Partnership is Demeter Management Corporation ("Demeter"). The commodity brokers for Spectrum Global Balanced, Spectrum Select, Spectrum Strategic, and Spectrum Technical are Morgan Stanley & Co. Incorporated ("MS&Co.") and Morgan Stanley & Co. International plc ("MSIP"). Spectrum Currency's commodity broker is MS&Co. MS&Co. acts as the counterparty on all trading of foreign currency forward contracts. Morgan Stanley Capital Group Inc. ("MSCG") acts as the counterparty on all trading of options on foreign currency forward contracts. Demeter, MS&Co., MSIP, and MSCG are wholly-owned subsidiaries of Morgan Stanley. On January 1, 2008, the portion of Spectrum Strategic's assets which are managed by Blenheim Capital Management, L.L.C. ("Blenheim") were initially invested as capital in Morgan Stanley Managed Futures BHM I, LLC ("BHM I, LLC"). BHM I, LLC was formed in order to permit commodity pools operated by Demeter and managed by Blenheim to invest together in one trading vehicle and to promote efficiency and economy in the trading process. Demeter is the trading manager of BHM I, LLC. Spectrum Strategic's allocation to Blenheim is effected by investing substantially all of the capital that is allocated to Blenheim in BHM I, LLC. There is no material change to the investors as a result of the investment in BHM I, LLC. Effective February 29, 2008, Demeter terminated the management agreement by and among Demeter, Spectrum Global Balanced, and Cornerstone Quantitative Investment Group, Inc. ("Cornerstone"). Consequently, Cornerstone ceased all Futures Interests trading on behalf of Spectrum Global Balanced as of February 29, 2008. Effective February 29, 2008, Demeter terminated the management agreement by and among Demeter, Spectrum Strategic, and Cornerstone. Consequently, Cornerstone ceased all Futures Interests trading on behalf of Spectrum Strategic as of February 29, 2008. MORGAN STANLEY SPECTRUM SERIES NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued) On April 1, 2007, Morgan Stanley merged Morgan Stanley DW Inc. ("Morgan Stanley DW") into MS&Co. Upon completion of the merger, the surviving entity, MS&Co., became the Partnerships' principal U.S. commodity broker-dealer. On April 13, 2007, Morgan Stanley & Co. International Limited changed its name to Morgan Stanley & Co. International plc. Demeter is required to maintain a 1% minimum interest in the equity of each Partnership and income (losses) are shared by Demeter and the limited partners based upon their proportional ownership interests. USE OF ESTIMATES. The financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, which require management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts in the financial statements and related disclosures. Management believes that the estimates utilized in the preparation of the financial statements are prudent and reasonable. Actual results could differ from those estimates. REVENUE RECOGNITION. Futures Interests are open commitments until settlement date, at which time they are realized. They are valued at fair value, generally on a daily basis, and the unrealized gains and losses on open contracts (the difference between contract trade price and market price) are reported in the Statements of Financial Condition as a net unrealized gain or loss on open contracts. The resulting net change in unrealized gains and losses is reflected in the change in unrealized trading profit (loss) on open contracts from one period to the next on the Statements of Operations. The fair value of exchange-traded futures, options and forwards contracts is determined by the various futures exchanges, and reflects the settlement price for each contract as of the close of business on the last business day of the reporting period. The fair value of foreign currency forward contracts is extrapolated on a forward basis from the spot prices quoted as of approximately 3:00 P.M. (E.T.) of the last business day of the reporting period. The fair value of non-exchange-traded foreign currency option contracts is calculated by applying an industry standard model application for options valuation of foreign currency options, using as MORGAN STANLEY SPECTRUM SERIES NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued) input, the spot prices, interest rates, and option implied volatilities quoted as of approximately 3:00 P.M. (E.T.) on the last business day of the reporting period. Monthly, MS&Co. pays each Partnership interest income at a rate equal to the monthly average of the 4-week U.S. Treasury bill discount rate during such month on 80% of the funds on deposit with the commodity brokers at each month-end in the case of Spectrum Currency, Spectrum Select, Spectrum Strategic, and Spectrum Technical, and on 100% of the funds on deposit in the case of Spectrum Global Balanced. For purposes of such interest payments, Net Assets do not include monies owed to the Partnerships on Futures Interests. The Partnerships' functional currency is the U.S. dollar; however, the Partnerships may transact business in currencies other than the U.S. dollar. Assets and liabilities denominated in currencies other than the U.S. dollar are translated into U.S. dollars at the rates in effect at the date of the Statements of Financial Condition. Income and expense items denominated in currencies other than the U.S. dollar are translated into U.S. dollars at the rates in effect during the period. Gains and losses resulting from the translation to U.S. dollars are reported in income currently. NET INCOME (LOSS) PER UNIT. Net income (loss) per unit of limited partnership interest ("Unit(s)") is computed using the weighted average number of Units outstanding during the period. TRADING EQUITY. The Partnerships' asset "Trading Equity," reflected on the Statements of Financial Condition, consists of (A) cash on deposit with MS&Co. and MSIP for Spectrum Global Balanced, Spectrum Select, Spectrum Strategic, and Spectrum Technical, and with MS&Co. for Spectrum Currency, to be used as margin for trading; (B) net unrealized gains or losses on futures and forward contracts, which are valued at fair value and calculated as the difference between original contract value and fair value; and for Partnerships which trade in options, (C) options purchased at fair value. Options written at fair value are recorded in "Liabilities." The Partnerships, in their normal course of business, enter into various contracts with MS&Co. and MSIP acting as their commodity brokers. Pursuant to brokerage agreements with MS&Co. and MSIP, to the MORGAN STANLEY SPECTRUM SERIES NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued) extent that such trading results in unrealized gains or losses, these amounts are offset and reported on a net basis on the Partnerships' Statements of Financial Condition. The Partnerships have offset the fair value amounts recognized for forward contracts executed with the same counterparty as allowable under the terms of their master netting agreement with MS&Co., as the counterparty on such contracts. The Partnerships have consistently applied their right to offset. RESTRICTED AND UNRESTRICTED CASH. As reflected on the Partnerships' Statements of Financial Condition, restricted cash equals the cash portion of assets on deposit to meet margin requirements plus the cash required to offset unrealized losses on foreign currency forwards and options and offset losses on offset London Metal Exchange positions. All of these amounts are maintained separately. Cash that is not classified as restricted cash is therefore classified as unrestricted cash. BROKERAGE AND RELATED TRANSACTION FEES AND COSTS. The brokerage fees for Spectrum Currency and Spectrum Global Balanced are currently accrued at a flat monthly rate of 1/12 of 4.6% (a 4.6% annual rate) of Net Assets as of the first day of each month. Brokerage fees for Spectrum Select, Spectrum Strategic, and Spectrum Technical are currently accrued at a flat monthly rate of 1/12 of 6.0% (a 6.0% annual rate) of Net Assets as of the first day of each month. Such brokerage fees currently cover all brokerage fees, transaction fees and costs, and ordinary administrative and continuing offering expenses. OPERATING EXPENSES. The Partnerships incur monthly management fees and may incur incentive fees. All common administrative and continuing offering expenses including legal, auditing, accounting, filing fees, and other related expenses are borne by MS&Co. through the brokerage fees paid by the Partnerships. CONTINUING OFFERING. Units of each Partnership were offered at a price equal to 100% of the Net Asset Value per Unit as of the close of business on the last day of each month. No selling commissions or charges related to the continuing offering of Units were paid by the limited partners or the Partnerships. MS&Co. paid all such costs. Effective December 1, 2008, the Partnerships no longer offered Units for purchase or exchange. MORGAN STANLEY SPECTRUM SERIES NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued) REDEMPTIONS. Limited partners may redeem some or all of their Units at 100% of the Net Asset Value per Unit as of the end of the last day of any month that is at least six months after the closing at which a person first became a limited partner. The Request for Redemption must be delivered to a limited partner's local Morgan Stanley Branch Office in time for it to be forwarded and received by Demeter no later than 3:00 p.m., New York City time, on the last day of the month in which the redemption is to be effective. Redemptions must be made in whole Units, in a minimum amount of 50 Units required for each redemption, unless a limited partner is redeeming his entire interest in a Partnership. Units redeemed on or prior to the last day of the twelfth month from the date of purchase will be subject to a redemption charge equal to 2% of the Net Asset Value of a Unit on the Redemption Date. Units redeemed after the last day of the twelfth month and on or prior to the last day of the twenty-fourth month from the date of purchase will be subject to a redemption charge equal to 1% of the Net Asset Value of a Unit on the Redemption Date. Units redeemed after the last day of the twenty-fourth month from the date of purchase will not be subject to a redemption charge. The foregoing redemption charges are paid to MS&Co. EXCHANGES. On the last day of the first month which occurred more than six months after a person first became a limited partner in any of the Partnerships, and at the end of each month thereafter, limited partners were able to exchange their Units among the Partnerships (subject to certain restrictions outlined in the Limited Partnership Agreements) without paying additional charges. Effective December 1, 2008, the Partnerships no longer offer Units for purchase or exchange. DISTRIBUTIONS. Distributions, other than redemptions of Units, are made on a pro-rata basis at the sole discretion of Demeter. No distributions have been made to date. Demeter does not intend to make any distributions of the Partnerships' profits. MORGAN STANLEY SPECTRUM SERIES NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued) INCOME TAXES. No provision for income taxes has been made in the accompanying financial statements, as partners are individually responsible for reporting income or loss based upon their respective share of each Partnership's revenues and expenses for income tax purposes. The Partnerships file U.S. federal and state tax returns. Management has continued to evaluate the application of Financial Accounting Standards Board (the "FASB") Interpretation No. 48, "Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes--an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109" (FIN 48), to the Partnerships, and has determined that FIN 48 does not have a material impact on the Partnerships' financial statements. The 2005 through 2008 tax years generally remain subject to examination by U.S. federal and most state tax authorities. DISSOLUTION OF THE PARTNERSHIPS. Spectrum Currency, Spectrum Global Balanced, Spectrum Strategic, and Spectrum Technical will terminate on December 31, 2035, and Spectrum Select will terminate on December 31, 2025, regardless of financial condition at such time, or at an earlier date if certain conditions occur as defined in each Partnership's Limited Partnership Agreement. RECLASSIFICATIONS. Certain 2006 amounts relating to cash balances were reclassified on the Statements of Cash Flows to conform to 2007 and 2008 presentation. Such reclassifications have no impact on the Partnerships' reported net income (loss). NEW ACCOUNTING DEVELOPMENTS. In March 2008, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 161, "Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities" ("SFAS 161"). SFAS 161 is intended to improve financial reporting about derivative instruments and hedging activities by requiring enhanced disclosures to enable investors to better understand how those instruments and activities are accounted for; how and why they are used; and their effects on a Partnership's financial position, financial performance, and cash flows. SFAS 161 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2008, and interim periods within those fiscal years. The Partnerships are currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of SFAS 161. MORGAN STANLEY SPECTRUM SERIES NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued) In September 2008, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position ("FSP") Financial Accounting Standards ("FAS") No. 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; and Clarification of the Effective Date of FASB Statement No. 161 ("FSP FAS No. 133-1 and FIN 45-4"). FSP FAS No. 133-1 and FIN 45-4 is intended to improve disclosures about credit derivatives by requiring more information about the potential adverse effects of changes in credit risk on the financial position, financial performance, and cash flows of the sellers of credit derivatives. The FSP is effective for financial statements issued for reporting periods ending after November 15, 2008. The Partnerships are currently evaluating the impact of adopting FSP FAS No. 133-1 and FIN 45-4. In October 2008, the FASB issued FSP FAS No. 157-3, Determining the Fair Value of a Financial Asset When the Market for That Asset is Not Active ("FSP FAS No. 157-3"). FSP FAS No. 157-3 clarifies the application of SFAS No. 157 in a market that is not active and provides an example to illustrate key considerations in determining the fair value of a financial asset when the market for the financial asset is not active. FSP FAS No. 157-3 is effective upon issuance, including prior periods for which financial statements have not been issued. The issuance of FSP FAS No. 157-3 did not have a material impact on the Partnerships' financial statements. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2. INVESTMENT IN BHM I, LLC Effective January 1, 2008, Spectrum Strategic invested a portion of its assets in BHM I, LLC. Spectrum Strategic's investment in BHM I, LLC represents approximately 42.07% of the net asset value of Spectrum Strategic at December 31, 2008. Summarized information for Spectrum Strategic's investment in BHM I, LLC as of December 31, 2008, is as follows:

MORGAN STANLEY SPECTRUM SERIES NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued) -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 3. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS Each Partnership pays brokerage fees to MS&Co. (Morgan Stanley DW through March 31, 2007) as described in Note 1. Spectrum Global Balanced, Spectrum Select, Spectrum Strategic, and Spectrum Technical's cash is on deposit with Morgan Stanley DW (through March 31, 2007), MS&Co., and MSIP, and Spectrum Currency's cash is on deposit with Morgan Stanley DW (through March 31, 2007) and MS&Co., in futures interests trading accounts to meet margin requirements as needed. MS&Co. (Morgan Stanley DW through March 31, 2007) pays interest on these funds as described in Note 1. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 4. TRADING ADVISORS Demeter, on behalf of each Partnership, retains certain commodity trading advisors to make all trading decisions for the Partnerships.

The management fee for Spectrum Strategic is accrued at a rate of 1/6 of 1% per month of Net Assets allocated to FX Concepts on the first day of each month (a 2% annual rate), and 1/4 of 1% per month of Net Assets allocated to Blenheim and Eclipse on the first day of each month (a 3% annual rate). MORGAN STANLEY SPECTRUM SERIES NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued) The management fee for Spectrum Technical is accrued at a rate of 1/6 of 1% per month of Net Assets allocated to Aspect, Chesapeake, JWH, Rotella, and Winton on the first day of each month (a 2% annual rate), and 1/4 of 1% per month of Net Assets allocated to Campbell on the first day of each month (a 3% annual rate). For the period of September 1, 2007, through December 31, 2007, Chesapeake waived the management fee it receives from Spectrum Technical. Effective January 1, 2008, Spectrum Technical pays Chesapeake a monthly management fee equal to 1/6 of 1% of its Net Assets allocated to Chesapeake on the first day of each month (a 2% annual rate). Prior to September 1, 2007, Spectrum Technical paid Chesapeake a monthly management fee equal to 1/4 of 1% of its Net Assets allocated to Chesapeake on the first day of each month (a 3% annual rate). INCENTIVE FEE. Spectrum Currency pays a monthly incentive fee equal to 20% of the trading profits experienced with respect to each trading advisor's allocated Net Assets as of the end of each calendar month. Spectrum Global Balanced pays a monthly incentive fee equal to 15% of the trading profits experienced with respect to the Net Assets allocated to SSARIS as of the end of each calendar month, and 20% of the trading profits experienced with respect to the Net Assets allocated to Altis and C-View as of the end of each calendar month. Spectrum Select pays a monthly incentive fee equal to 15% of the trading profits experienced with respect to the Net Assets allocated to Northfield and Sunrise as of the end of each calendar month, 17.5% of the trading profits experienced with respect to the Net Assets allocated to EMC and Rabar as of the end of each calendar month, and 20% of the trading profits experienced with respect to the Net Assets allocated to Altis and Graham as of the end of each calendar month. Spectrum Strategic pays a monthly incentive fee equal to 15% of the trading profits experienced with respect to the Net Assets allocated to Blenheim and Eclipse as of the end of each calendar month, and 20% of the trading profits experienced with respect to the Net Assets allocated to FX Concepts as of the end of each calendar month.

Trading profits represent the amount by which profits from futures, forwards, and options trading exceed losses after brokerage and management fees are deducted. For all trading advisors with trading losses, no incentive fee is paid in subsequent months until all such losses are recovered. Cumulative trading losses are adjusted on a pro-rata basis for the net amount of each month's redemptions. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 5. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS The Partnerships trade Futures Interests. Futures and forwards represent contracts for delayed delivery of an instrument at a specified date and price. Risk arises from changes in the value of these contracts and the potential inability of counterparties to perform under the terms of the contracts. There are numerous factors which may significantly influence the fair value of these contracts, including interest rate volatility. The fair value of exchange-traded contracts is based on the settlement price quoted by the exchange on the day with respect to which fair value is being determined. If an exchange-traded contract could not have been liquidated on such day due to the operation of daily limits or other rules of the exchange, the settlement price shall be the settlement price on the first subsequent day on which the contract could be liquidated. The fair value of off-exchange-traded contracts is based on the fair value quoted by the counterparty. MORGAN STANLEY SPECTRUM SERIES NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued) The Partnerships' contracts are accounted for on a trade-date basis and marked to market on a daily basis. Each Partnership accounts for its derivative investments in accordance with the provisions of SFAS No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities" ("SFAS No. 133"). SFAS No. 133 defines a derivative as a financial instrument or other contract that has all three of the following characteristics: (1)One or more underlying notional amounts or payment provisions; (2)Requires no initial net investment or a smaller initial net investment than would be required relative to changes in market factors; (3)Terms require or permit net settlement. Generally, derivatives include futures, forward, swap or options contracts, and other financial instruments with similar characteristics such as caps, floors, and collars. The net unrealized gains (losses) on open contracts at December 31, reported as a component of "Trading Equity" on the Statements of Financial Condition, and their longest contract maturities were as follows: SPECTRUM CURRENCY

The Partnerships have credit risk associated with counterparty nonperformance. As of the date of the financial statements, the credit risk associated with the instruments in which the Partnerships trade is limited to the amounts reflected in the Partnerships' Statements of Financial Condition. The Partnerships also have credit risk because MS&Co., MSIP, and/or MSCG act as the futures commission merchants or the counterparties, with respect to most of the Partnerships' assets. Exchange-traded futures, exchange-traded forward, and exchange-traded futures-styled options contracts are marked to market on a daily basis, with variations in value settled on a daily basis. MS&Co. and MSIP, each acting as a commodity broker for each Partnership's exchange-traded futures, exchange-traded forward, and exchange-traded futures-styled options contracts, are required, pursuant to regulations of the Commodity Futures Trading Commission, to segregate from their own assets, and for the sole benefit of their commodity customers, all funds held by them with respect to exchange-traded futures, exchange-traded forward, and exchange-traded futures-styled options contracts, including an amount equal to the net unrealized gains (losses) on all open exchange-traded futures, exchange-traded forward, and exchange-traded futures-styled options contracts, which funds, in the aggregate, totaled at December 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively, $32,204,152 and $35,308,073 for Spectrum Global Balanced, $637,596,962 and $530,181,326 for Spectrum Select, $117,311,735 and $217,469,564 for Spectrum Strategic, and $548,229,393 and $592,593,582 for MORGAN STANLEY SPECTRUM SERIES NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued) Spectrum Technical. With respect to each Partnership's off-exchange-traded forward currency contracts and forward currency options contracts, there are no daily settlements of variation in value, nor is there any requirement that an amount equal to the net unrealized gains (losses) on such contracts be segregated. However, each Partnership is required to meet margin requirements equal to the net unrealized loss on open forward currency contracts in the Partnership accounts with the counterparty, which is accomplished by daily maintenance of the cash balance in a custody account held at MS&Co. With respect to those off-exchange-traded forward currency contracts, the Partnerships are at risk to the ability of MS&Co., the sole counterparty on all such contracts, to perform. With respect to those off-exchange-traded forward currency options contracts, the Partnerships are at risk to the ability of MSCG, the sole counterparty on all such contracts, to perform. Each Partnership has a netting agreement with each counterparty. These agreements, which seek to reduce both the Partnerships' and the counterparties' exposure on off-exchange-traded forward currency contracts, including options on such contracts, should materially decrease the Partnerships' credit risk in the event of MS&Co.'s or MSCG's bankruptcy or insolvency. In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157 ("SFAS 157"), "Fair Value Measurements". Fair value is the amount that would be recovered when an asset is sold or an amount paid to transfer a liability, in an ordinary transaction between market participants at the measurement date (exit price). Market price observability is impacted by a number of factors, including the types of investments, the characteristics specific to the investment, and the state of the market price (including the existence and the transparency of transactions between market participants). Investments with readily available actively quoted prices in an ordinary market will generally have a higher degree of market price observability and a lesser degree of judgment used in measuring fair value. MORGAN STANLEY SPECTRUM SERIES NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued) SFAS 157 requires use of a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value into three levels: Level 1--unadjusted quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities; Level 2--inputs other than unadjusted quoted market prices that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly (including quoted prices for similar investments, interest rates, credit risk); and Level 3--unobservable inputs for the asset or liability (including the Partnership's own assumptions used in determining the fair value of investments). In certain cases, the inputs used to measure fair value may fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In such cases, an investment's level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The Partnerships' assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement in its entirety requires judgment, and considers factors specific to the investment. The Partnerships adopted SFAS 157 as of January 1, 2008. The adoption of SFAS 157 did not have a material impact on the Partnerships' financial statements. The following tables summarize the valuation of each Partnership's investments by the above SFAS 157 fair value hierarchy as of December 31, 2008: SPECTRUM CURRENCY
