Annual Report to the Dean Witter
Cornerstone Funds II, III, and IV
Limited Partners for the year ended
December 31, 2003 II, III & IV

PART I
Item 1. BUSINESS
(a) General Development of Business. Dean Witter Cornerstone Fund
IV (the "Partnership") is a New York limited partnership organized
to engage in the speculative trading of futures contracts, options
on futures contracts and forward contracts on foreign currencies.
The Partnership commenced operations on May 1, 1987. The
Partnership is one of the Dean Witter Cornerstone Funds, comprised
of the Partnership, Dean Witter Cornerstone Fund II and Dean
Cornerstone Fund III (collectively, the "Cornerstone Series").

The Partnership's general partner is Demeter Management
Corporation ("Demeter"). The non-clearing commodity broker is
Morgan Stanley DW Inc. ("Morgan Stanley DW"). The clearing
commodity broker is Morgan Stanley & Co. Incorporated ("MS &
Co."). Demeter, Morgan Stanley DW and MS & Co. are wholly-owned
subsidiaries of Morgan Stanley. The trading managers to the
Partnership are John W. Henry & Company, Inc. and Sunrise Capital
Management, Inc. (collectively, the "Trading Managers").

The Partnership's net asset value per unit of limited partnership
interest ("Unit(s)") at December 31, 2003 was $7,943.73,
representing an increase of 13.6 percent from the net asset value

per Unit of $6,995.32 at December 31, 2002. For a more
detailed description of the Partnership's business, see
subparagraph (c).

(b) Financial Information about Segments. For financial infor-
mation reporting purposes the Partnership is deemed to engage in

contracting party and trades futures, forwards and options on
foreign exchanges.

(e) Available Information. The Partnership files annual reports
on Form 10-K, quarterly reports on Form 10-Q, current reports on
Form 8-K, and all amendments to these reports with the Securities
and Exchange Commission ("SEC"). You may read and copy any
document filed by the Partnership at the SEC's public reference
room at Room 1024, 450 Fifth Street, N.W., Washington, D.C.
20549. Please call the SEC at 1-800-SEC-0330 for information on
the public reference room. The Partnership does not maintain an
internet website, however, the SEC maintains a website that
contains annual, quarterly, and current reports, proxy statements
and other information that issuers (including the Partnership)
file electronically with the SEC. The SEC's website address is
http://www.sec.gov.

Item 2. PROPERTIES

The Partnership's executive and administrative offices are located
within the offices of Morgan Stanley DW. The Morgan Stanley DW
offices utilized by the Partnership are located at 825 Third
Avenue, 9th Floor, New York, NY 10022.

Item 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

Item 4. SUBMISSION OF MATTERS TO A VOTE OF SECURITY HOLDERS
None.

PART II

Item 5. MARKET FOR THE REGISTRANT'S PARTNERSHIP UNITS AND RELATED
SECURITY HOLDER MATTERS

(a) Market Information. There is no established public trading
market for Units of the Partnership.

(b) Holders. The number of holders of Units at December 31, 2003
was approximately 4,906.

(c) Distributions. No distributions have been made by the
Partnership since it commenced trading operations on May 1,
1987. Demeter has sole discretion to decide what distributions, if
any, shall be made to investors in the Partnership. Demeter
currently does not intend to make any distributions of Partnership
profits.

(d) Use of Proceeds. The offering for the Partnership originally
commenced May 31, 1984 and was closed to new investors September
30, 1994. Units of the Partnership were sold afterwards solely
through "exchanges" between existing investors within the
Cornerstone Series at 100% of net asset value per Unit. Effective
with the April 30, 2000 monthly closing, the exchange privilege
among the Cornerstone Series was terminated. However, limited

partners retained the ability to execute exchanges out of a
Cornerstone fund into other funds outside the Cornerstone Series
subject to certain restrictions set forth in the applicable
Limited Partnership Agreements. Morgan Stanley DW pays all
expenses in connection with the exchanging of Units without
reimbursement and therefore, 100% of the proceeds from exchanges
out of the Partnership are applied to the working capital of the
funds outside the Cornerstone Series receiving the exchanges in.
Please refer to the "Investment Programs, Use of Proceeds and
Trading Policies" section of the Prospectus.

Item 6. SELECTED FINANCIAL DATA (in dollars)

Item 7. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Liquidity. The Partnership deposits its assets with Morgan
Stanley DW as non-clearing broker and MS & Co. as clearing broker
in separate futures, forwards and options trading accounts
established for each Trading Manager, which assets are used as
margin to engage in trading and may be used as margin solely for
the Partnership's trading. The assets are held in either non-
interest bearing bank accounts or in securities and instruments
permitted by the Commodity Futures Trading Commission for
investment of customer segregated or secured funds. Since the
Partnership's sole purpose is to trade in futures, forwards and
options, it is expected that the Partnership will continue to own
such liquid assets for margin purposes.

The Partnership's investment in futures, forwards, and options
may, from time to time, be illiquid. Most U.S. futures exchanges
limit fluctuations in prices during a single day by regulations
referred to as "daily price fluctuations limits" or "daily
limits". Trades may not be executed at prices beyond the daily
limit. If the price for a particular futures or options contract
has increased or decreased by an amount equal to the daily limit,
positions in that futures or options contract can neither be taken
nor liquidated unless traders are willing to effect trades at or

within the limit. Futures prices have occasionally moved
the daily limit for several consecutive days with little or no
trading. These market conditions could prevent the Partnership
from promptly liquidating its futures or options contracts and
result in restrictions on redemptions.

There is no limitation on daily price moves in trading forward
contracts on foreign currencies. The markets for some world
currencies have low trading volume and are illiquid, which may
prevent the Partnership from trading in potentially profitable
markets or prevent the Partnership from promptly liquidating
unfavorable positions in such markets, subjecting it to
substantial losses. Either of these market conditions could
result in restrictions on redemptions. Illiquidity has not
materially affected the Partnership's assets.

There are no known material trends, demands, commitments, events
or uncertainties at the present time that will result in, or that
are reasonably likely to result in, the Partnership's liquidity
increasing or decreasing in any material way.

Capital Resources. The Partnership does not have, nor expect to
have, any capital assets. Redemptions of additional Units in the
future will affect the amount of funds available for investment in

futures, forwards, and options in subsequent periods. It
is not possible to estimate the amount, and therefore the impact,
of future redemptions of Units.

There are no known material trends, favorable or unfavorable, that
would affect, nor any expected material changes to, the
Partnership's capital resource arrangements at the present time.
The Partnership does not have any off-balance sheet arrangements,
nor does it have contractual obligations or commercial commitments
to make future payments that would affect its liquidity or capital
resources.

Results of Operations.
General. The Partnership's results depend on the Trading Managers
and the ability of the Trading Managers' trading programs to take
advantage of price movements or other profit opportunities in the
futures, forwards, and options markets. The following presents a
summary of the Partnership's operations for each of the three
years in the period ended December 31, 2003 and a general
discussion of its trading activities during each period. It is
important to note, however, that the Trading Managers trade in
various markets at different times and that prior activity in a
particular market does not mean that such market will be actively
traded by the Trading Managers or will be profitable in the

future. Consequently, the results of operations of the
Partnership are difficult to discuss other than in the context of
the Trading Managers' trading activities on behalf of the
Partnership and how the Partnership has performed in the past.
Past performance is not necessarily indicative of future results.

The Partnership's results of operations are set forth in its
financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States of America,
which require the use of certain accounting policies that affect
the amounts reported in these financial statements, including the
following: The contracts the Partnership trades are accounted for
on a trade-date basis and marked to market on a daily basis. The
difference between their cost and market value is recorded on the
Statements of Operations as "Net change in unrealized profit/loss"
for open (unrealized) contracts, and recorded as "Realized
profit/loss" when open positions are closed out, and the sum of
these amounts constitutes the Partnership's trading revenues. The
market value of a futures contract is the settlement price on the
exchange on which that futures contract is traded on a particular
day. The value of foreign currency forward contracts is based on
the spot rate as of the close of business, New York City time, on
a given day. Interest income revenue, as well as

management fees, incentive fees and brokerage commissions
expenses of the Partnership are recorded on an accrual basis.

Demeter believes that, based on the nature of the operations of
the Partnership, no assumptions relating to the application of
critical accounting policies other than those presently used could
reasonably affect reported amounts.

The Partnership recorded revenues including interest totaling
$23,762,595 and expenses totaling $9,826,003, resulting in net
income of $13,936,592 for the year ended December 31, 2003. The
Partnership's net asset value per Unit increased from $6,995.32
at December 31, 2002 to $7,943.73 at December 31, 2003. Total
redemptions for the year were $9,336,278 and the Partnership's
ending capital was $112,442,209 at December 31, 2003, an increase
of $4,600,314 from ending capital at December 31, 2002 of
$107,841,895.

The most significant trading gains of approximately 12.1% were
recorded from long positions in the euro versus the U.S. dollar
as the dollar's value weakened throughout a majority of the year.
Fears of a military conflict with Iraq, skepticism regarding the
likelihood of a U.S. economic recovery and fears of a potential
terrorist attack resulted in gains from long euro positions
during January, April and May. A confluence of factors during

December including concerns regarding U.S. budget and
trade deficits, a dip in consumer confidence, an outbreak of Mad
Cow Disease in the U.S., and continued fears of a potential
terrorist
attack forced the U.S. dollar to retreat further and the euro to
climb. Additional gains of approximately 8.9% resulted from long
positions in the Australian dollar versus the U.S. dollar as the
Australian currency strengthened during April, May and June and
again during November and December in response to continued
weakness in the U.S. dollar, higher interest rates in Australia
relative to those in the U.S. and higher gold prices. Gains of
approximately 3.9% were provided from long positions in the South
African rand versus the U.S. dollar during April and December due
to significant interest rate differentials between the two
countries, economic concerns regarding U.S. budget and trade
deficits and fears of a potential terrorist attack. Smaller
profits of approximately 2.5% were experienced from long
positions in the New Zealand dollar versus the U.S. dollar
primarily during November as the U.S. dollar's value tumbled to a
six-year low versus the New Zealand currency. A portion of the
Partnership's gains for the year was offset by losses of
approximately 3.2% from positions in the British pound versus the
U.S. dollar as the value of the pound strengthened during April
and May amid expectations that the Bank of England would likely
leave interest rates unchanged and the release of lower-than-
expected unemployment data from Great Britain. During
June, losses stemmed from positions in the pound versus the U.S.
dollar as the pound's value increased early in the month, amid
expectations that the Bank of England would likely leave interest
rates unchanged again, and then reversed lower, after the British
Finance Minister released positive comments regarding the U.K.'s
entry prospects into the European Monetary Union. Additional
losses of approximately 2.4% resulted from short positions in the
Swiss franc versus the U.S. dollar during September as the
dollar's value declined amid concerns about the strength of the
U.S. economy and the potential impact of a statement by the G-7
nations supporting "more flexible exchange rates."

The Partnership recorded revenues including interest totaling
$21,270,437 and expenses totaling $9,291,445, resulting in net
income of $11,978,992 for the year ended December 31, 2002. The
Partnership's net asset value per Unit increased from $6,228.94 at
December 31, 2001 to $6,995.32 at December 31, 2002. Total
redemptions for the year were $10,747,122 and the Partnership's
ending capital was $107,841,895 at December 31, 2002, an increase
of $1,231,870 from ending capital at December 31, 2001 of
$106,610,025.

The most significant trading gains of approximately 15.6% were
recorded from long positions in the euro relative to the U.S.
dollar as the dollar's value significantly weakened during April,

May and June amid falling equity prices and concerns
regarding corporate integrity. Additional gains from long
positions in the euro, Swiss franc, and Norwegian krone were
experienced in
December as the looming threat of a potential military conflict
with Iraq and North Korea further weakened the dollar. Profits
of approximately 7.3% were recorded from long positions in the
Australian dollar and New Zealand dollar versus the U.S. dollar
as the value of both currencies strengthened during April, May,
and throughout the fourth quarter amid higher gold prices.
Further gains of approximately 3.9% stemmed from long positions
in the South African rand versus the U.S. dollar as its value
approached a sixteen-month high during the second and fourth
quarters amid strong demand for South African exports and high
relative interest rates. A portion of the Partnership's overall
gains was offset by losses of approximately 9.6% recorded in the
British pound from short positions versus the U.S. dollar during
the summer months and into the fourth quarter as the value of the
dollar weakened amid geopolitical and economic uncertainty.
Additional losses of approximately 8.4% resulted from positions
in the Japanese yen versus the U.S. dollar during March as the
yen initially strengthened amid asset repatriation out of the
U.S. into Japan, only to retreat by month-end on expectations
that the repatriation flow would soon subside ahead of the
Japanese fiscal year-end. Further losses in the Japanese yen

were experienced in December from short positions versus
the U.S. dollar as the value of the dollar weakened versus most
major currencies.

The Partnership recorded revenues including interest totaling
$23,218,105 and expenses totaling $8,350,080, resulting in net
income of $14,868,025 for the year ended December 31, 2001. The
Partnership's net asset value per Unit increased from $5,373.69
at December 31, 2000 to $6,228.94 at December 31, 2001. Total
redemptions for the year were $7,876,555 and the Partnership's
ending capital was $106,610,025 at December 31, 2001, an increase
of $6,991,470 from ending capital at December 31, 2000 of
$99,618,555.

The most significant trading gains of approximately 18.3% were
recorded primarily during September from previously established
short positions in the South African rand as its value trended
lower relative to the U.S. dollar as investors targeted the
emerging market currency while global economic jitters persisted.
During November and December, additional gains were recorded from
previously established short positions in the South African rand
as its value trended lower versus the U.S. dollar due to emerging
market concerns following Argentina's debt default and political
turmoil in neighboring Zimbabwe. Profits of approximately 8.2%
were recorded throughout a majority of the first quarter from

previously established short positions in the Japanese yen
as the value of the yen weakened relative to the U.S. dollar on
continuing concerns for the Japanese economy and in both
anticipation of, and reaction to the Bank of Japan's
decision to reinstate its zero interest rate policy. During
December, gains were recorded from previously established short
positions in the Japanese yen as the value of the yen versus the
U.S. dollar continued to trend lower amid the release of weak
economic data and the perception that further depreciation of the
yen would not be met with government intervention in support of
the currency. A portion of the Partnership's overall gains was
partially offset by losses of approximately 3.7% recorded
primarily during May and early June from previously established
long positions in the British pound as its value weakened
relative to the U.S. dollar in reaction to reports that British
Prime Minister Blair will push for Great Britain's entry into the
European Monetary Union. During October and November, losses were
recorded from previously established long positions in the
British pound as the value of the pound reversed weaker versus
the U.S. dollar on pessimism generated by the Bank of England
that further interest rate cuts were unlikely due to inflationary
pressures in Britain.

For an analysis of unrealized gains and (losses) by contract type
and a further description of 2003 trading results, refer to the

Partnership's Annual Report to Limited Partners for the
year ended December 31, 2003, which is incorporated by reference
to Exhibit 13.01 of this Form 10-K.

The Partnership's gains and losses are allocated among its
partners for income tax purposes.

Market Risk.
Financial Instruments. The Partnership is a party to financial
instruments with elements of off-balance sheet market and credit
risk. The Partnership trades futures, forwards and options in a
portfolio of foreign currencies. In entering into these
contracts, the Partnership is subject to the market risk that
such contracts may be significantly influenced by market
conditions, such as interest rate volatility, resulting in such
contracts being less valuable. If the markets should move against
all of the positions held by the Partnership at the same time,
and if the Trading Managers were unable to offset positions of
the Partnership, the Partnership could lose all of its assets and
the limited partners would realize a 100% loss.

In addition to the Trading Managers' internal controls, the
Trading Managers must comply with the Partnership's trading
policies that include standards for liquidity and leverage that

must be maintained. The Trading Managers and Demeter
monitor the Partnership's trading activities to ensure compliance
with the trading policies and Demeter can require the Trading
Managers to modify positions of the Partnership if Demeter
believes they violate the Partnership's trading policies.

Credit Risk.
In addition to market risk, in entering into futures, forward and
options contracts there is a credit risk to the Partnership that
the counterparty on a contract will not be able to meet its
obligations to the Partnership. The ultimate counterparty or
guarantor of the Partnership for futures contracts traded in the
United States and the foreign exchanges on which the Partnership
trades is the clearinghouse associated with such exchange. In
general, a clearinghouse is backed by the membership of the
exchange and will act in the event of non-performance by one of
its members or one of its member's customers, which should
significantly reduce this credit risk. There is no assurance that
a clearinghouse, exchange or other exchange member will meet its
obligations to the Partnership, and Demeter and the commodity
broker will not indemnify the Partnership against a default by
such parties. Further, the law is unclear as to whether a
commodity broker has any obligation to protect its customers from
loss in the event of an exchange or clearinghouse defaulting on

trades effected for the broker's customers. In cases where
the Partnership trades off-exchange forward contracts with a
counterparty, the sole recourse of the Partnership will be the
forward contracts counterparty.

Demeter deals with these credit risks of the Partnership in
several ways. First, it monitors the Partnership's credit
exposure to each exchange on a daily basis. The commodity broker
informs the Partnership, as with all their customers, of its net
margin requirements for all its existing open positions and
Demeter has installed a system which permits it to monitor the
Partnership's potential net credit exposure, exchange by
exchange, by adding the unrealized trading gains on each
exchange, if any, to the Partnership's margin liability thereon.

Second, the Partnership's trading policies limit the amount of its
net assets that can be committed at any given time to futures
contracts and require a minimum amount of diversification in the
Partnership's trading, usually over several different products and
exchanges. Historically, the Partnership's exposure to any one
exchange has typically amounted to only a small percentage of its
total net assets and on those relatively few occasions where the
Partnership's credit exposure climbs above an acceptable level,
Demeter deals with the situation on a case by case basis,
carefully weighing whether the increased level of credit exposure

remains appropriate. Material changes to the trading
policies may be made only with the prior written approval of the
limited partners owning more than 50% of Units then outstanding.

Third, with respect to forward contract trading, the Partnership
trades with only those counterparties which Demeter, together with
Morgan Stanley DW, have determined to be creditworthy. The
Partnership presently deals with MS & Co. as the sole counterparty
on forward contracts.

See "Financial Instruments" under "Notes to Financial Statements"
in the Partnership's Annual Report to Limited Partners for the
year ended December 31, 2003, which is incorporated by reference
to Exhibit 13.01 of this Form 10-K.

Inflation has not been a major factor in the Partnership's
operations.

Item 7A.QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT
MARKET RISK

Introduction

The Partnership is a commodity pool engaged primarily in the
speculative trading of futures, forwards and options. The
market-sensitive instruments held by the Partnership are acquired
for speculative trading purposes only and, as a result, all or
substantially all of the Partnership's assets are at risk of
trading loss. Unlike an operating company, the risk of market-
sensitive instruments is central, not incidental, to the
Partnership's main business activities.

The futures, forwards, and options traded by the Partnership
involve varying degrees of related market risk. Market risk is
often dependent upon changes in the level or volatility of
interest rates, exchange rates, and prices of financial
instruments and commodities, factors that result in frequent
changes in the fair value of the Partnership's open positions, and
consequently in its earnings, whether realized or unrealized, and
cash flow. Profits and losses on open positions of exchange-
traded futures, forwards and options are settled daily through
variation margin.

The Partnership's total market risk may increase or decrease as
it's influenced by a wide variety of factors, including, but not
limited to, the diversification among the Partnership's
open positions, the volatility present within the markets, and
the liquidity of the markets.

The Partnership's past performance is not necessarily indicative
of its future results. Any attempt to numerically quantify the
Partnership's market risk is limited by the uncertainty of its
speculative trading. The Partnership's speculative trading may
cause future losses and volatility (i.e., "risk of ruin") that far
exceed the Partnership's experiences to date or any reasonable
expectations based upon historical changes in market value.

Quantifying the Partnership's Trading Value at Risk
The following quantitative disclosures regarding the Partner-
ship's market risk exposures contain "forward-looking statements"
within the meaning of the safe harbor from civil liability
provided for such statements by the Private Securities Litigation
Reform Act of 1995 (set forth in Section 27A of the Securities
Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of
1934). All quantitative disclosures in this section are deemed
to be forward-looking statements for purposes of the safe harbor,
except for statements of historical fact.

The Partnership accounts for open positions on the basis of mark
to market accounting principles. Any loss in the market value of

the Partnership's open positions is directly reflected in
the Partnership's earnings and cash flow.

The Partnership's risk exposure in the market sectors traded by
the Trading Managers is estimated below in terms of Value at Risk
("VaR"). The Partnership estimates VaR using a model based upon
historical simulation (with a confidence level of 99%) which
involves constructing a distribution of hypothetical daily changes
in the value of a trading portfolio. The VaR model takes into
account linear exposures to risk including equity and commodity
prices, interest rates, foreign exchange rates, and correlation
among these variables. The hypothetical changes in portfolio value
are based on daily percentage changes observed in key market
indices or other market factors ("market risk factors") to which
the portfolio is sensitive. The one-day 99% confidence level of
the Partnership's VaR corresponds to the negative change in
portfolio value that, based on observed market risk factors, would
have been exceeded once in 100 trading days, or one day in 100.
VaR typically does not represent the worst case outcome. Demeter
uses approximately four years of daily market data (1,000
observations) and revalues its portfolio (using delta-gamma
approximations) for each of the historical market moves that
occurred over this time period. This generates a probability
distribution of daily "simulated profit and loss" outcomes. The

VaR is the appropriate percentile of this distribution.
For example, the 99% one-day VaR would represent the 10th worst
outcome from Demeter's simulated profit and loss series.

The Partnership's VaR computations are based on the risk
representation of the underlying benchmark for each instrument or
contract and do not distinguish between exchange and non-exchange
dealer-based instruments. They are also not based on exchange
and/or dealer-based maintenance margin requirements.

VaR models, including the Partnership's, are continuously evolving
as trading portfolios become more diverse and modeling techniques
and systems capabilities improve. Please note that the VaR model
is used to numerically quantify market risk for historic reporting
purposes only and is not utilized by either Demeter or the Trading
Managers in their daily risk management activities. Please
further note that VaR as described above may not be comparable to
similarly titled measures used by other entities.

The Partnership's Value at Risk in Different Market Sectors
The following table indicates the VaR associated with the
Partnership's open positions as a percentage of total net assets
by primary market risk category at December 31, 2003 and 2002. At
December 31, 2003 and 2002, the Partnership's total capital-

ization was approximately $112 million and $108 million,
respectively.

Primary Market December 31, 2003 December 31, 2002
Risk Category Value at Risk Value at Risk

Currency (2.80)% (4.19)%

The VaR for a market category represents the one-day downside risk
for the aggregate exposures associated with this market category.
Because the business of the Partnership is the speculative trading
of futures, forwards and options, the composition of its trading
portfolio can change significantly over any given time period, or
even within a single trading day, which could positively or
negatively materially impact market risk as measured by VaR.

The table below supplements the December 31, 2003 VaR set forth
above by presenting the Partnership's high, low and average VaR,
as a percentage of total net assets for the four quarter-end
reporting periods from January 1, 2003 through December 31, 2003.

Primary Market Risk Category High Low Average
Currency (2.80)% (1.26)% (2.05)%

Limitations on Value at Risk as an Assessment of Market Risk
The face value of the market sector instruments held by the
Partnership is typically many times the applicable margin

requirements. Margin requirements generally range between
2% and 15% of contract face value. Additionally, the use of
leverage causes the face value of the market sector instruments
held by the Partnership to typically be many times the total
capitalization of the Partnership. The value of the Partnership's
open positions thus creates a "risk of ruin" not typically found
in other investments. The relative size of the positions held may
cause the Partnership to incur losses greatly in excess of VaR
within a short period of time, given the effects of the leverage
employed and market volatility. The VaR tables above, as well as
the past performance of the Partnership, give no indication of
such "risk of ruin". In addition, VaR risk measures should be
viewed in light of the methodology's limitations, which include
the following:
? past changes in market risk factors will not always result in
accurate predictions of the distributions and correlations of
future market movements;
? changes in portfolio value caused by market movements may
differ from those of the VaR model;
? VaR results reflect past trading positions while future risk
depends on future positions;
? VaR using a one-day time horizon does not fully capture the
market risk of positions that cannot be liquidated or hedged
within one day; and

? the historical market risk factor data used for VaR estimation
may provide only limited insight into losses that could be
incurred under certain unusual market movements.

The VaR tables provided present the results of the Partnership's
VaR for its market risk exposure at December 31, 2003 and 2002 and
for the four quarter-end reporting periods during the calendar
year 2003. VaR is not necessarily representative of the historic
risk, nor should it be used to predict the Partnership's future
financial performance or its ability to manage or monitor risk.
There can be no assurance that the Partnership's actual losses on
a particular day will not exceed the VaR amounts indicated above
or that such losses will not occur more than once in 100 trading
days.

Non-Trading Risk
The Partnership has non-trading market risk on its foreign cash
balances not needed for margin. The Partnership did not have any
foreign currency balances at December 31, 2003.

The Partnership also maintains a substantial portion
(approximately 92% as of December 31, 2003) of its available
assets in cash at Morgan Stanley DW. A decline in short-term
interest rates would result in a decline in the Partnership's
cash management income. This cash flow risk is not considered to
be material.

Materiality, as used throughout this section, is based on an
assessment of reasonably possible market movements and any
associated potential losses, taking into account the leverage,
optionality and multiplier features of the Partnership's market-
sensitive instruments, in relation to the Partnership's net
assets.

Qualitative Disclosures Regarding Primary Trading Risk Exposures
The following qualitative disclosures regarding the Partnership's
market risk exposures - except for (A) those disclosures that are
statements of historical fact and (B) the descriptions of how the
Partnership manages its primary market risk exposures - constitute
forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of
the Securities Act and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act.
The Partnership's primary market risk exposures, as well as the
strategies used and to be used by Demeter and the Trading Managers
for managing such exposures, are subject to numerous
uncertainties, contingencies and risks, any one of which could
cause the actual results of the Partnership's risk controls to
differ materially from the objectives of such strategies.
Government interventions, defaults and expropriations, illiquid
markets, the emergence of dominant fundamental factors, political
upheavals, changes in historical price relationships, an influx of
new market participants, increased regulation and many other
factors could result in material losses, as well as in
material changes to the risk exposures and the risk management
strategies of the Partnership. Investors must be prepared to lose
all or substantially all of their investment in the Partnership.

The following was the only trading risk exposure of the
Partnership at December 31, 2003. It may be anticipated, however,
that market exposure will vary materially over time.

Currency. The Partnership's currency market exposure at
December 31, 2003 was to exchange rate fluctuations, primarily
fluctuations which disrupt the historical pricing relationships
between different currencies and currency pairs. Interest rate
changes, as well as political and general economic conditions
influence these fluctuations. The Partnership trades a large
number of currencies. At December 31, 2003, the Partnership's
major exposure was to outright U.S. dollar positions. Outright
positions consist of the U.S. dollar vs. other currencies. These
other currencies include major and minor currencies. Demeter
does not anticipate that the risk profile of the Partnership's
currency sector will change significantly in the future. The
currency trading VaR figure includes foreign margin amounts
converted into U.S. dollars with an incremental adjustment to
reflect the exchange rate risk inherent to the U.S.-based
Partnership in expressing VaR in a functional currency other than
U.S. dollars.

Qualitative Disclosures Regarding Non-Trading Risk
Exposure
At December 31, 2003, there was no non-trading risk exposure
because the Partnership did not have any foreign currency
balance.

Qualitative Disclosures Regarding Means of Managing Risk Exposure
The Partnership and the Trading Managers, separately, attempt to
manage the risk of the Partnership's open positions in essentially
the same manner in all market categories traded. Demeter attempts
to manage market exposure by diversifying the Partnership's assets
among different market sectors and trading approaches, and by
monitoring the performance of the Trading Managers daily. In
addition, the Trading Managers establish diversification
guidelines, often set in terms of the maximum margin to be
committed to positions in any one market sector or market-
sensitive instrument.

Demeter monitors and controls the risk of the Partnership's non-
trading instrument, cash. Cash is the only Partnership investment
directed by Demeter, rather than the Trading Managers.

Detailed performance information for each Fund is located in the body of the
financial report. 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 Cornerstone Fund IV, 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.

FACTORS INFLUENCING ANNUAL TRADING GAINS:

.. In the currency markets, gains were recorded, mainly throughout the fourth
quarter, from long positions in a variety of major and minor currencies
versus the U.S. dollar. A confluence of factors including concerns regarding
U.S. budget and trade deficits, a dip in consumer confidence, an outbreak of
Mad Cow Disease in the U.S., and fears of a potential terrorist attack
forced the U.S. dollar to retreat. The Fund's largest gains were achieved
during December from long positions in the euro, British pound, and
Australian and New Zealand dollars versus the U.S. dollar. Weakness in the
U.S. dollar during the first quarter also contributed to currency gains for
the year.

.. In the metals markets, gains were supplied by long futures positions in base
and precious metals. During December, profits were made on long futures
positions in base metals, such as copper, aluminum and nickel, as well as
from long futures positions in precious metals, such as gold and silver.
Copper and nickel prices rose to six and fourteen year highs respectively,
benefiting from increased demand from China and the strengthening of the
global economy. Meanwhile, gold and silver prices continued to soar as
investors sought a safe haven from the falling U.S. dollar and an increased
risk of terrorism.

.. Profits were also recorded in the global stock index markets. During June,
long positions in European stock index futures resulted in profits as prices
strengthened amid the release of positive economic data and expectations of
a U.S. interest rate cut. Long positions in Japanese stock index futures
also produced gains as prices rallied amid increased foreign demand for
Japanese equities. Long positions in Asian stock index futures resulted in
further gains during August as Asian equity prices drew strength from robust
Japanese economic data and gains in the U.S. equity markets.

CORNERSTONE FUND II
(continued)

FACTORS INFLUENCING ANNUAL TRADING LOSSES:

.. In the agricultural markets, positions in cotton futures returned losses
during August as prices moved without consistent direction. Additional
losses were recorded from positions in corn futures during August and
September as volatile prices resulted from supply data and weather related
concerns. Long positions in coffee futures during September and sugar
positions during December compounded sector losses.

.. In the energy markets, the greatest losses were incurred during October. The
Fund entered the month with short natural gas positions, but these positions
proved unprofitable as prices rallied during the first part of the month. In
response to rising natural gas prices, the Fund reversed its position from
short to long, only to see prices decline in the latter part of the month.
December also added to losses from short natural gas futures positions.
Additional losses were incurred from short crude oil positions during
September and October as prices moved higher in response to supply fears
resulting primarily from geopolitical tensions.

.. Losses were also incurred in the global interest rate markets, primarily
during the fourth quarter. Long positions in European interest rate futures
recorded losses during October as bond prices were negatively impacted by
the release of positive U.S. economic data and inflation concerns. During
December, short European interest rate futures positions suffered losses as
economic data released throughout the month indicated that inflation in the
U.S. remained under control, despite the strengthening of the U.S. economy,
and reinforcing the belief that the U.S. Federal Reserve would remain
committed to keeping U.S. rates at their current low levels.

FACTORS INFLUENCING ANNUAL TRADING GAINS:

.. Gains were produced in the currency markets, mainly throughout the fourth
quarter, from long positions in a variety of major and minor currencies
versus the U.S. dollar. A confluence of factors including concerns regarding
U.S. budget and trade deficits, a dip in consumer confidence, an outbreak of
Mad Cow Disease in the U.S., and fears of a potential terrorist attack
forced the U.S. dollar to retreat. The Fund's largest currency sector gains
were achieved during January, May and December from long positions in the
euro, British pound, Australian dollar, South African rand and New Zealand
dollar versus the U.S. dollar.

.. Additional gains were recorded in the metals markets primarily during the
fourth quarter from long futures positions in base metals, such as copper
and nickel, as well as from long futures positions in precious metals, such
as gold. During October and December, industrial metals prices rallied in
response to growing investor sentiment that the global economy was on the
path to recovery and amid increased demand, especially from China.
Meanwhile, gold soared as investors sought a safe haven from the falling
U.S. dollar and an increased risk of terrorism.

.. Gains were also achieved in the global equity markets, again primarily
during the fourth quarter of the year. During October and December, long
U.S. equity index futures positions profited amid the release of favorable
economic data and increased confidence that the global economic recovery was
materializing.

CORNERSTONE FUND III
(continued)

FACTORS INFLUENCING ANNUAL TRADING LOSSES:

.. In the global interest rate markets, losses stemmed from positions in
European and U.S. interest rate futures. Long positions suffered losses
during July as prices declined amid rising interest rates and a rally in
global equity prices prompted by renewed hope for a global economic
recovery. During September, short positions in the same markets recorded
losses as bond prices reversed higher due to renewed skepticism regarding a
global economic recovery and lower equity prices.

.. Further losses were experienced in the energy markets. During October, the
Fund entered the month with short natural gas positions, but these positions
proved unprofitable as prices rallied during the first part of the month. In
response to rising natural gas prices, the Fund reversed its position from
short to long, only to see prices decline in the latter part of the month.
December also added to losses from short natural gas futures positions.
Additional losses were incurred from short crude oil positions during
September and October as prices moved higher in response to supply fears
primarily caused by geopolitical tensions. Crude oil prices continued to
trade in a volatile fashion during November, moving in one direction for a
few days and then sharply reversing, resulting in additional losses.

CORNERSTONE FUND IV

[CHART]

Year ended December 31, 2003
----------------------------
Australian dollar 8.92%
British pound -3.18%
Euro 12.10%
Japanese yen -0.53%
Swiss franc -2.43%
Minor Currencies 3.97%

Note: Includes trading results and commissions but does not include other fees
or interest income.

Minor currencies may include, but are not limited to, the South African
rand, Thai baht, Greek drachma, Singapore dollar, Mexican peso, New
Zealand dollar and Norwegian krone.

FACTORS INFLUENCING ANNUAL TRADING GAINS:

.. The most significant gains were recorded from long positions in the euro
versus the U.S. dollar as the dollar's value weakened throughout a majority
of the year. Fears of a military conflict with Iraq, skepticism regarding
the likelihood of a U.S. economic recovery and fears of a potential
terrorist attack resulted in gains from long euro positions during January,
April and May. A confluence of factors during December including concerns
regarding U.S. budget and trade deficits, a dip in consumer confidence, an
outbreak of Mad Cow Disease in the U.S., and continued fears of a potential
terrorist attack forced the U.S. dollar to retreat further and the euro to
climb.

.. Long positions in the Australian dollar versus the U.S. dollar supplied
additional gains as the Australian currency strengthened during April, May
and June and again during November and December in response to continued
weakness in the U.S. dollar, higher interest rates in Australia relative to
those in the U.S. and higher gold prices.

.. Gains were also provided by long positions in the South African rand versus
the U.S. dollar during April and December due to significant interest rate
differentials between the two countries, economic concerns regarding U.S.
budget and trade deficits and fears of a potential terrorist attack.

.. Finally, smaller profits were experienced from long positions in the New
Zealand dollar versus the U.S. dollar primarily during November as the U.S.
dollar's value tumbled to a six-year low versus the New Zealand currency.

CORNERSTONE FUND IV
(continued)

FACTORS INFLUENCING ANNUAL TRADING LOSSES:

.. Positions in the British pound versus the U.S. dollar resulted in losses as
the value of the pound strengthened during April and May amid expectations
that the Bank of England would likely leave interest rates unchanged and the
release of lower-than-expected unemployment data from Great Britain. During
June, losses stemmed from positions in the pound versus the U.S. dollar as
the pound's value increased early in the month, amid expectations that the
Bank of England would likely leave interest rates unchanged again, and then
reversed lower, after the British Finance Minister released positive
comments regarding the U.K.'s entry prospects into the European Union.

.. Additional losses stemmed from short positions in the Swiss franc versus the
U.S. dollar as the dollar's value declined during September amid concerns
for the strength of the U.S. economy and the potential impact of a statement
by the G-7 nations supporting "more flexible exchange rates."

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

ORGANIZATION. Dean Witter Cornerstone Fund II ("Cornerstone II"), Dean Witter
Cornerstone Fund III ("Cornerstone III"), and Dean Witter Cornerstone Fund IV
("Cornerstone IV") (individually, a "Partnership", or collectively, the
"Partnerships"), are limited partnerships organized to engage in the
speculative trading of futures contracts, options on futures contracts, and
forward contracts on foreign currencies and other commodity interests
(collectively, "futures interests").
The Partnership's general partner is Demeter Management Corporation
("Demeter"). The non-clearing commodity broker is Morgan Stanley DW Inc.
("Morgan Stanley DW"). The clearing commodity brokers for Cornerstone II and
Cornerstone III are Morgan Stanley & Co. Incorporated ("MS&Co.") and Morgan
Stanley & Co. International Limited ("MSIL"). Cornerstone IV's sole clearing
commodity broker is MS&Co. Demeter, Morgan Stanley DW, MS&Co. and MSIL are
wholly-owned subsidiaries of Morgan Stanley.
Effective June 20, 2002, Morgan Stanley Dean Witter & Co. changed its name to
Morgan Stanley.
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.
Effective December 31, 2002, Welton Investment Corporation was terminated as
a trading manager of Cornerstone III and was replaced by Graham Capital
Management, L.P. on January 1, 2003.

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.

DEAN WITTER CORNERSTONE FUNDS

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(continued)

REVENUE RECOGNITION. Futures interests are open commitments until settlement
date. They are valued at market on a daily basis and the resulting net change
in unrealized gains and losses is reflected in the change in unrealized profit
(loss) on open contracts from one period to the next in the statements of
operations. Monthly, Morgan Stanley DW pays each Partnership interest income
based upon 80% of its average daily Net Assets at a rate equal to the average
yield on 13-week U.S. Treasury bills. For purposes of such interest payments to
Cornerstone IV, Net Assets do not include monies owed to the Partnership on
futures interests.

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.

CONDENSED SCHEDULES OF INVESTMENTS. In March 2001, the American Institute of
Certified Public Accountants' Accounting Standards Executive Committee ("AICPA
Executive Committee") issued Statement of Position 01-1 ("SOP 01-1") "Amendment
to the Scope of Statement of Position 95-2, Financial Reporting By Nonpublic
Investment Partnerships, to Include Commodity Pools". SOP 01-1 required
commodity pools to include a condensed schedule of investments identifying
those investments which constitute more than 5% of Net Assets, taking long and
short positions into account separately, beginning in fiscal years ending after
December 15, 2001.

In December 2003, the AICPA Executive Committee issued Statement of Position
03-4 ("SOP 03-4") "Reporting Financial Highlights and Schedule of Investments
by Nonregistered Investment Partnerships: An Amendment to the Audit and
Accounting Guide Audits Of Investment Companies and AICPA Statement of Position
95-2, Financial Reporting By Nonpublic Investment Partnerships". SOP 03-4
requires commodity pools to disclose on the Schedule of Investments the number
of contracts, the contracts' expiration dates and the cumulative unrealized
gains/(losses) on open futures contracts, when the cumulative

DEAN WITTER CORNERSTONE FUNDS

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(continued)

unrealized gains/(losses) on an open futures contract exceeds 5% of Net Assets,
taking long and short positions into account separately. SOP 03-4 also requires
ratios for expenses and net income/(losses) based on average net assets to be
disclosed in Financial Highlights. SOP 03-4 is effective for fiscal years
ending after December 15, 2003.

EQUITY IN FUTURES INTERESTS TRADING ACCOUNTS. The Partnerships' asset "Equity
in futures interests trading accounts", reflected on the statements of
financial condition, consists of (A) cash on deposit with Morgan Stanley DW,
MS&Co. and MSIL for Cornerstone II and Cornerstone III, and Morgan Stanley DW
and MS&Co. for Cornerstone IV, to be used as margin for trading; (B) net
unrealized gains or losses on open contracts, which are valued at market and
calculated as the difference between original contract value and market value;
and (C) net option premiums, which represent the net of all monies paid and/or
received for such option premiums.

The Partnerships, in their normal course of business, enter into various
contracts with MS&Co. and/or MSIL acting as their commodity brokers. Pursuant
to brokerage agreements with MS&Co. and/or MSIL, to the 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 agreements with MS&Co., the sole counterparty on such
contracts. The Partnerships have consistently applied their right to offset.

BROKERAGE COMMISSIONS AND RELATED TRANSACTION FEES AND COSTS. Brokerage
commissions and related transaction fees and costs for each Partnership are
accrued on a half-turn basis at 80% and 100%, respectively, of the rates Morgan
Stanley DW charges parties that are not clearinghouse members. Brokerage
commissions and transaction fees and costs combined for each Partnership are
capped at 13/20 of 1% per

DEAN WITTER CORNERSTONE FUNDS

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(continued)

month (a 7.8% maximum annual rate) of the adjusted Net Assets allocated to each
trading program employed by the Partnerships' trading managers.

OPERATING EXPENSES. Each Partnership has entered into an exchange agreement
pursuant to which certain common administrative expenses (i.e., legal,
auditing, accounting, filing fees and other related expenses) are shared by
each of the Partnerships based upon the number of outstanding Units of each
Partnership during the month in which such expenses are incurred. In addition,
the Partnerships incur monthly management fees and may incur incentive fees.
Demeter bears all other operating expenses.

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.

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.

REDEMPTIONS. Limited partners may redeem some or all of their Units at 100% of
the Net Asset Value per Unit as of the last day of any month upon fifteen days
advance notice by redemption form to Demeter.

DISSOLUTION OF THE PARTNERSHIPS. Each Partnership will terminate on September
30, 2025 regardless of its financial condition at such time, upon a decline in
Net Assets to less than $250,000, a decline in the Net Asset Value per Unit to
less than $250, or under certain other circumstances defined in each Limited
Partnership Agreement.

LITIGATION SETTLEMENT. On February 27, 2002, Cornerstone II and Cornerstone
III received notification of a preliminary entitlement to payment from the
Sumitomo Copper Litigation Settlement Administrator and received payment of
these settlement awards in the amount of $76,613 and $2,842,492, respectively,
on August 30, 2002.

DEAN WITTER CORNERSTONE FUNDS

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(continued)

- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
2. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
Each Partnership pays brokerage commissions to Morgan Stanley DW as described
in Note 1. Cornerstone II and Cornerstone III's cash is on deposit with Morgan
Stanley DW, MS&Co. and MSIL, and Cornerstone IV's cash is on deposit with
Morgan Stanley DW and MS&Co., in futures interests trading accounts to meet
margin requirements as needed. Morgan Stanley DW pays interest on these funds
as described in Note 1.

- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
3. TRADING MANAGERS
Demeter, on behalf of each Partnership, retains certain commodity trading
managers to make all trading decisions for the Partnerships. The trading
managers for each Partnership at December 31, 2003 were as follows:

Dean Witter Cornerstone Fund II
John W. Henry & Company, Inc.
Northfield Trading L.P.

Dean Witter Cornerstone Fund III
Graham Capital Management, L.P.
Sunrise Capital Management, Inc.

Dean Witter Cornerstone Fund IV
John W. Henry & Company, Inc.
Sunrise Capital Management, Inc.

Compensation to the trading managers by the Partnerships consists of a
management fee and an incentive fee as follows:

MANAGEMENT FEE. Each Partnership's management fee is accrued at the rate of
1/12 of 3.5% per month (a 3.5% annual rate) of the Net Assets under management
by each trading manager at each month end.

INCENTIVE FEE. Each Partnership pays an annual incentive fee equal to 15% of
the new appreciation in Net Assets, as defined in the Limited Partnership
Agreements, as of the end of each annual incentive period ending December 31,
except for Cornerstone

DEAN WITTER CORNERSTONE FUNDS

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(continued)

IV, which pays incentive fees at the end of each annual incentive period ending
May 31. New appreciation represents the amount by which Net Assets are
increased by profits from futures, forwards and options trading that exceed
losses after brokerage commissions, management fees, transaction fees and costs
and common administrative expenses are deducted. Such incentive fee is accrued
in each month in which new appreciation occurs. In those months in which new
appreciation is negative, previous accruals, if any, during the incentive
period are reduced. In those instances in which a Limited Partner redeems an
investment, the incentive fee (if earned through a redemption date) is paid on
that redemption to the trading manager in the month of such redemption.

- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
4. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
The Partnerships trade futures contracts, options on futures contracts, and
forward contracts on foreign currencies and other commodity 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 market value of these contracts, including interest rate
volatility.

The market value of contracts is based on closing prices quoted by the
exchange, bank or clearing firm through which the contracts are traded.

The Partnerships' contracts are accounted for on a trade-date basis and
market to market on a daily basis. Each Partnership accounts for its derivative
investments in accordance with the provisions of Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards 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;

DEAN WITTER CORNERSTONE FUNDS

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(continued)

(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, swaps 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 "Equity in futures interests trading accounts" on the
statements of financial condition, and their longest contract maturities are as
follows:

ciated with the instruments in which the Partnerships are involved is limited
to the amounts reflected in the Partnerships' statements of financial condition.

The Partnerships also have credit risk because Morgan Stanley DW, MS&Co.,
and/or MSIL act as the futures commission merchants or the counterparties, with
respect to most of the Partnerships' assets. Exchange-traded futures and
futures-styled options contracts are marked to market on a daily basis, with
variations in value settled on a daily basis. Morgan Stanley DW, MS&Co. and/or
MSIL, each as a futures commission merchant for each Partnership's
exchange-traded futures and 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 and
futures-styled options contracts, including an amount equal to the net
unrealized gains (losses) on all open futures and futures-styled options
contracts, which funds, in the aggregate, totaled at December 31, 2003 and 2002
respectively, $21,675,501 and $22,780,027 for Cornerstone II and $27,930,851
and $27,060,890 for Cornerstone III. With respect to each Partnership's
off-exchange-traded forward currency contracts, there are no daily
exchange-required settlements of variations in value nor is there any
requirement that an amount equal to the net unrealized gains (losses) on open
forward contracts be segregated, however, MS&Co. and Morgan Stanley DW will
make daily settlements of losses as needed. 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.
Each Partnership has a netting agreement with MS&Co. These agreements, which
seek to reduce both the Partnerships' and MS&Co.'s exposure on
off-exchange-traded forward currency contracts, should materially decrease the
Partnerships' credit risk in the event of MS&Co.'s bankruptcy or insolvency.
