SUB-ITEM 77D(G): POLICIES WITH RESPECT TO SECURITY INVESTMENT

MORGAN STANLEY QUALITY MUNICIPAL INVESTMENT TRUST ("TRUST")

While the Trust's policy is to emphasize investments in municipal obligations
with longer-term maturities because generally longer-term obligations, while
more susceptible to market fluctuations resulting from changes in interest
rates, produce higher yields than short-term obligations, the Trust no longer
expects to maintain a specific average weighted maturity of its portfolio. As a
result of changes in the fixed-income and municipal marketplace, the Trust's
average portfolio maturity will vary depending upon market conditions and other
factors.
