PART I
Item 1. BUSINESS
(a) General Development of Business. Morgan Stanley Spectrum Glo-
bal Balanced L.P. (the "Partnership") is a Delaware limited

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. and MSIL as
clearing brokers in separate futures, forwards, and options
trading accounts established for the Trading Advisor, which assets
are used as margin to engage in 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. The
Partnership's assets held by the commodity brokers may be used as
margin solely for the Partnership's trading. 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 option 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.
The Partnership has never had illiquidity affect a material
portion of its assets. Furthermore, there are no material trends,
demands, commitments, events or uncertainties known 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, exchanges and sales 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 has no off-balance sheet arrangements, nor
contractual obligations or commercial commitments to make future
payments that would affect the Partnership's liquidity or capital
resources. The contracts traded by the Partnership are accounted
for on a trade-date basis and marked to market on a daily basis.
The value of futures contracts is the settlement price on the
exchange on which that futures contact 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.
Results of Operations.
General. The Partnership's results depend on the Trading Advisor
and the ability of the Trading Advisor's 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 the three years ended
December 31, 2002, and a general discussion of its trading
activities during each period. It is important to note, however,
that the Trading Advisor trades 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
Advisor 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 Advisor's trading
activities on behalf of the Partnership and how the Partnership
has performed in the past.
The Partnership's results of operations are set forth in financial
statements prepared in accordance with United States generally
accepted accounting principles, 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. Interest income revenue as
well as management fees, incentive fees and brokerage fees
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 other than those presently used
relating to the application of critical accounting policies
are reasonably plausible that could affect reported amounts.
At December 31, 2002, the Partnership's total capital was
$50,405,432, a decrease of $7,380,328 from the Partnership's total
capital of $57,785,760 at December 31, 2001. For the year ended
December 31, 2002, the Partnership generated a net loss of
$5,786,918, total subscriptions aggregated $8,829,394 and total
redemptions aggregated $10,422,804.
For the year ended December 31, 2002, the Partnership recorded
total trading losses, net of interest income, of $2,566,396 and
posted a decrease in net asset value per Unit. The most
significant losses of approximately 14.2% were recorded in the
global stock index futures markets from long positions in
European, U.S., and Japanese stock index futures as prices
continued to weaken throughout the majority of the year,
particularly during July, September, and December, amid continued
economic uncertainty and ongoing political concerns. A portion
of the Partnership's overall losses was offset by gains of
approximately 7.4% recorded in the global interest rate futures
markets from long positions in European, Japanese, and U.S.
interest rate futures, predominantly during the third quarter, as
prices trended higher amid a shift in assets from stocks into
bonds as investors sought the "safe haven" of fixed income
investments. In the currency markets, during May, June, and
December, additional profits of approximately 1.3% were
recorded from long positions in the euro and Swiss franc versus
the U.S. dollar as the dollar's value weakened amid investors'
fears concerning increased global tensions, specifically the
threat of war between India and Pakistan, the looming threat of a
military strike against Iraq, and the resumption of North Korea's
nuclear program. Total expenses for the year were $3,220,522,
resulting in a net loss of $5,786,918. The net asset value of a
Unit decreased from $16.21 at December 31, 2001 to $14.57 at
December 31, 2002.
At December 31, 2001, the Partnership's total capital was
$57,785,760, an increase of $1,906,010 from the Partnership's
total capital of $55,879,750 at December 31, 2000. For the year
ended December 31, 2001, the Partnership generated a net loss of
$152,599, total subscriptions aggregated $10,254,342 and total
redemptions aggregated $8,195,733.
For the year ended December 31, 2001, the Partnership recorded
total trading revenues, including interest income, of $3,150,268
and, after expenses, posted a decrease in net asset value per
Unit. The most significant losses of approximately 5.2% were
recorded in the global stock index futures markets throughout a
majority of the first three quarters from long positions in FTSE
Index futures, DAX and S&P 500 Index futures as equity prices
moved lower amid worries regarding global economic uncertainty.
In the energy markets, losses of approximately 1.4% were
recorded throughout the year from positions in crude oil futures
and its related products as a result of volatility in oil prices
due to a continually changing outlook for supply, production and
demand. A portion of the Partnership's overall losses was
partially offset by gains of approximately 5.1% recorded in the
global interest rate futures markets primarily during January
from previously established long positions in eurodollar futures
as prices moved higher due to a surprise interest rate cut by the
U.S. Federal Reserve on January 3rd and the subsequent
anticipation of an additional interest rate cut by the U.S.
Federal Reserve later in January. Throughout a majority of the
third quarter, additional profits were recorded from previously
established long positions in U.S. and European interest rate
futures as prices continued trending higher amid continued
concerns for the sluggish U.S. economy, interest rate cuts by the
U.S. and European central banks and as investors sought a "safe
haven" from declining stock prices. In the currency markets,
profits of approximately 2.0% were recorded throughout a majority
of the fourth quarter 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. Total expenses
for the year were $3,302,867, resulting in a net loss of
$152,599. The net asset value of a Unit decreased from $16.26 at
December 31, 2000 to $16.21 at December 31, 2001.
At December 31, 2000, the Partnership's total capital was
$55,879,750, a decrease of $1,984,262 from the Partnership's
total capital of $57,864,012 at December 31, 1999. For the year
ended December 31, 2000, the Partnership generated net income of
$439,354, total subscriptions aggregated $8,983,545 and total
redemptions aggregated $11,407,161.
For the year ended December 31, 2000, the Partnership recorded
total trading revenues, including interest income, of $3,692,479
and posted an increase in net asset value per Unit. The most
significant gains of approximately 5.3% were recorded in the
global interest rate futures markets primarily during March,
August, November and December from long positions in U.S.
interest rate futures as prices climbed higher amid a drop in
stock prices and as fears of an economic slowdown drew investors
to the perceived safety of government securities. Additional
gains were recorded during December from long positions in
European and Australian interest rate futures as prices in these
markets rose amid speculation that the U.S. Federal Reserve would
lower interest rates in the near future following their decision
to switch to an easing policy bias. In the energy markets,
profits of approximately 2.3% were recorded primarily during May
from long positions in natural gas futures as prices continued
their upward trend, when data released by the American Gas
Association further confirmed fears that inventory levels remain
low. During December, additional gains were recorded from long
positions in natural gas futures as prices moved higher
amid supply and storage concerns. In the currency markets, gains
of approximately 2.0% were recorded primarily during April, May,
September and October from short South African rand positions as
its value weakened relative to the U.S. dollar due to instability
in the Middle East and Zimbabwe and higher oil prices. A portion
of the Partnership's overall gains was partially offset by losses
of approximately 7.6% recorded in the global stock index futures
component during April, May, late July, September, October and
December from long positions in Nikkei Index futures as Japanese
equity prices declined due primarily to the weakness in global
technology issues and economic uncertainty in Japan. Additional
losses were recorded primarily during the second quarter,
September and November from long positions in FTSE Index futures
as most European stock indices sagged after the European central
bank's aggressive interest rate hike in early June and during
September and November on concerns about costly crude oil and a
weak euro. Total expenses for the year were $3,253,125,
resulting in net income of $439,354. The net asset value of a
Unit increased from $16.12 at December 31, 1999 to $16.26 at
December 31, 2000.
The Partnership's overall performance record represents varied
results of trading in different futures, forwards, and options
markets. For an analysis of unrealized gains and (losses) by
contract type and a further description of 2002 trading results,
refer to the "Letter to the Limited Partners" in the
Partnership's Annual Report to Limited Partners for the year ended
December 31, 2002, 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.
Credit Risk.
Financial Instruments. The Partnership is a party to financial
instruments with elements of off-balance sheet market and credit
risk. The Partnership may trade futures, forwards, and options
in interest rates, stock indices, commodities, currencies,
petroleum, precious metals and other commodity interests. 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 Advisor 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 Advisor's internal controls, the
Trading Advisor must comply with the trading policies of the
Partnership. These trading policies include standards for
liquidity and leverage with which the Partnership must comply.
The Trading Advisor and Demeter monitor the Partnership's trading
activities to ensure compliance with the trading policies.
Demeter may require the Trading Advisor to modify positions of
the Partnership if Demeter believes they violate the
Partnership's trading policies.
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. For example, a
clearinghouse may cover a default by drawing upon a defaulting
member's mandatory contributions and/or non-defaulting members'
contributions to a clearinghouse guarantee fund, established
lines or letters of credit with banks, and/or the clearinghouse's
surplus capital and other available assets of the exchange and
clearinghouse, or assessing its members. 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.
There is no assurance that a clearinghouse, exchange or other
exchange member will meet its obligations to the Partnership, and
Demeter and the commodity brokers 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. Any such obligation on the part of a broker appears
even less clear where the default occurs in a non-U.S.
jurisdiction.
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, calculating not only
the amount of margin required for it but also the amount of its
unrealized gains at each exchange, if any. The commodity brokers
inform the Partnership, as with all their customers, of its net
margin requirements for all its existing open positions, but do
not break that net figure down, exchange by exchange. Demeter,
however, has installed a system which permits it to monitor the
Partnership's potential margin liability, exchange by exchange.
As a result, Demeter is able to monitor the Partnership's
potential net credit exposure to each exchange by adding the
unrealized trading gains on that 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, in addition, a minimum amount of
diversification in the Partnership's trading, usually over
several different products. One of the aims of such trading
policies has been to reduce the credit exposure of the
Partnership to a single exchange and, historically, the
Partnership's exposure to any one exchange has typically amounted
to only a small percentage of its total net assets. On those
relatively few occasions where the Partnership's credit exposure
may climb above such 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, 2002, 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. Fluctuations in market risk based
upon these factors result in frequent changes in the fair value
of the Partnership's open positions, and consequently, in
its earnings and cash flow.
The Partnership's total market risk is influenced by a wide
variety of factors, including the diversification among the
Partnership's open positions, the volatility present within the
markets, and the liquidity of the markets. At different times,
each of these factors may act to increase or decrease the market
risk associated with the Partnership.
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
Partnership'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, whether realized or unrealized, and its
cash flow. Profits and losses on open positions of exchange-
traded futures, forwards, and options are settled daily through
variation margin.
The Partnership's risk exposure in the market sectors traded by
the Trading Advisor is estimated below in terms of Value at Risk
("VaR"). The VaR model used by the Partnership includes many
variables that could change the market value of the Partnership's
trading portfolio. The Partnership estimates VaR using a model
based upon historical simulation with a confidence level of 99%.
Historical simulation involves constructing a distribution of
hypothetical daily changes in the value of a trading portfolio.
The VaR model takes into account linear exposures to price and
interest rate risk. Market risks that are incorporated in the
VaR model include 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 historical observation period of the Partnership's
VaR is approximately four years. 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. In other
words, one-day VaR for a portfolio is a number such that losses
in this portfolio are estimated to exceed the VaR only one day in
100. VaR typically does not represent the worst case outcome.
VaR is calculated using historical simulation. 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 does not distinguish between exchange and non-
exchange-traded instruments and is also not based on exchange
and/or dealer-based 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 Advisor 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, 2002 and 2001.
At December 31, 2002 and 2001, the Partnership's total
capitalization was approximately $50 million and $58 million,
respectively.
Primary Market December 31, 2002 December 31, 2001
Risk Category Value at Risk Value at Risk
Interest Rate (0.91)% (0.22)%
Equity (0.79) (1.28)
Currency (0.66) (0.58)
Commodity (0.34) (0.18)
Aggregate Value at Risk (1.37)% (1.39)%
The VaR for a market category represents the one-day
downside
risk for the aggregate exposures associated with this market
category. The aggregate VaR, listed above for the Partnership,
represents the aggregate VaR of all of the Partnership's open
positions across all the market categories, and is less than the
sum of the VaRs for all such market categories due to the
diversification benefit across asset classes.
The table above represents the VaR of the Partnership's open
positions at December 31, 2002 and 2001 only and is not
necessarily representative of either the historic or future risk
of an investment in the Partnership. Because the Partnership's
only business 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. Any changes in open positions could positively or
negatively materially impact market risk as measured by VaR.
The table below supplements the December 31, 2002 VaR by
presenting the Partnership's high, low and average VaR, as a
percentage of total net assets for the four quarterly reporting
periods from January 1, 2002 through December 31, 2002.
Primary Market Risk Category High Low Average
Interest Rate (1.02)% (0.57)% (0.85)%
Equity (1.33) (0.79) (1.10)
Currency (0.71) (0.32) (0.57)
Commodity (0.34) (0.27) (0.31)
Aggregate Value at Risk (1.57)% (1.33)% (1.45)%
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 above present the results of the Partnership's VaR
for each of the Partnership's market risk exposures and on an
aggregate basis at December 31, 2002, and 2001, and for the end of
the four quarterly reporting periods during calendar year 2002.
Since VaR is based on historical data, VaR should not be viewed as
predictive of 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. These balances and any market
risk they may represent are immaterial.
At December 31, 2002, the Partnership's cash balance at Morgan
Stanley DW was approximately 94% of its total net asset value. A
decline in short-term interest rates will 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
Advisor 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 were the primary trading risk exposures of the
Partnership at December 31, 2002, by market sector. It may be
anticipated, however, that these market exposures will vary
materially over time.
Interest Rate. The largest market exposure of the Partnership at
December 31, 2002, was to the global interest rate complex.
Exposure was primarily spread across the U.S., European and
Japanese interest rate sectors. Interest rate movements directly
affect the price of the sovereign bond futures positions held by
the Partnership and indirectly affect the value of its stock
index and currency positions. Interest rate movements in
one country as well as relative interest rate movements between
countries materially impact the Partnership's profitability. The
Partnership's interest rate exposure is generally to interest
rate fluctuations in the U.S. and the other G-7 countries. The
G-7 countries consist of France, the U.S., Britain, Germany,
Japan, Italy and Canada. However, the Partnership also takes
futures positions in the government debt of smaller nations -
e.g., Australia. Demeter anticipates that G-7 countries and
Australian interest rates will remain the primary interest rate
exposure of the Partnership for the foreseeable future. The
speculative futures positions held by the Partnership may range
from short to long-term instruments. Consequently, changes in
short, medium or long-term interest rates may have an effect on
the Partnership.
Equity. The second largest market exposure of the Partnership at
December 31, 2002 was to the global stock index sector, primarily
equity price risk in the G-7 countries. The stock index futures
traded by the Partnership are by law limited to futures on
broadly-based indices. At December 31, 2002, the Partnership's
primary exposures were to the S&P 500 (U.S.), Nikkei (Japan) and
DAX (Germany) stock indices. The Partnership is primarily
exposed to the risk of adverse price trends or static markets in
the U.S., Japanese and European indices. Static markets would
not cause major market changes but would make it difficult for
the Partnership to avoid being "whipsawed" into numerous
small losses.
Currency. The Partnership's currency exposure at December 31,
2002 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, including cross-rates - i.e., positions between two
currencies other than the U.S. dollar. At December 31, 2002, the
Partnership's major exposures were to the euro and Japanese yen
currency crosses and 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.
Commodity.
Energy. At December 31, 2002, the Partnership's energy
exposure was shared primarily by futures contracts in crude
oil and natural gas. Price movements in the energy
markets result from political developments in the Middle
East, weather patterns and other economic fundamentals.
Significant profits and losses, which have been experienced
in the past, are expected to continue to be experienced in
the future. Natural gas has exhibited volatility in prices
resulting from weather patterns and supply and demand
factors and will likely continue in this choppy pattern.
Soft Commodities and Agriculturals. At December 31, 2002,
the Partnership had exposure to the markets that comprise
these sectors. Most of the exposure was to the corn, live
cattle and cotton markets. Supply and demand inequalities,
severe weather disruption and market expectations affect
price movements in these markets.
Metals. The Partnership's metals exposure at December 31,
2002 was to fluctuations in the price of base metals such as
nickel. Economic forces, supply and demand inequalities,
geopolitical factors and market expectations influence price
movements in these markets. The Trading Advisor, from time
to time, takes positions when market opportunities develop
and Demeter anticipates that the Partnership will continue
to do so.
Qualitative Disclosures Regarding Non-Trading Risk Exposure
The following was the only non-trading risk exposure of the
Partnership at December 31, 2002:
Foreign Currency Balances. The Partnership's primary
foreign currency balances at December 31, 2002 were in
euros, Japanese yen, British pounds and Swiss francs. The
Partnership controls the non-trading risk of these balances
by regularly converting them back into U.S. dollars upon
liquidation of their respective positions.
Qualitative Disclosures Regarding Means of Managing Risk Exposure
The Partnership and the Trading Advisor, 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
monitoring the performance of the Trading Advisor daily. In
addition, the Trading Advisor establishes 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 Advisor.

Note:Reflects trading results only and does not include fees or interest income.
FACTORS INFLUENCING ANNUAL TRADING GAINS:
.. In the energy futures markets, gains were experienced throughout a majority
of the year from long positions in natural gas futures as prices drew
strength primarily from colder weather in the Northeastern U.S. and a
disruption of output from the Gulf of Mexico caused by Hurricane Isidore.
Additional gains were recorded from long positions in crude oil futures and
related products as growing tensions between the U.S. and Iraq pushed prices
higher in late February and early March, as well as during the second half
of the year.
.. In the agricultural markets, gains were provided from long positions in
cocoa futures as political unrest in the Ivory Coast threatened supplies
throughout a majority of the year. Additional gains were recorded from long
positions in sugar futures during December and long positions in a variety
of grain futures during May, June, and July.
.. In the metals futures markets, gains were recorded from long futures
positions in gold as prices initially climbed higher early in the year amid
investors' fears concerning weaker global equity prices. Additional gains
resulted later in the year, as gold prices resumed their upward move amid
the looming threat of military action against Iraq and North Korea.

FACTORS INFLUENCING ANNUAL TRADING GAINS:
.. Gains were recorded from long positions in the euro, Swiss franc, and
Norwegian krone versus 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.
.. Additional gains stemmed from long positions in the South African rand
versus the U.S. dollar as its value approached a 16-month high during the
second and fourth quarter amid strong demand for South African exports and
high relative interest rates.
.. Profits 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.
FACTORS INFLUENCING ANNUAL TRADING LOSSES:
.. Losses were 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 concerns.
.. Losses 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.

ongoing political concerns.
FACTORS INFLUENCING ANNUAL TRADING GAINS:
.. In the global interest rate futures markets, gains resulted from long
positions in European, Japanese, and U.S. interest rate futures,
predominantly during the third quarter, as prices trended higher amid a
shift in assets from stocks into bonds as investors sought the "safe haven"
of fixed income investments.
.. In the currency markets, gains were recorded from long positions in the euro
and Swiss franc versus the U.S. dollar as the dollar's value weakened during
May, June, and December amid investors' fears concerning increased global

trended higher during the period from June through September, as well as in
December, amid global economic uncertainty and falling equity prices.
.. In the currency markets, gains were recorded during the second quarter, as
well as in December, from long positions in the euro versus the U.S. dollar
as the value of the dollar weakened amid continued uncertainty regarding the
U.S. economic recovery and heightened global political tensions.
.. In the global stock index futures markets, gains were recorded from short
positions in European stock index futures as prices trended lower during
June, July, and September amid skepticism regarding a global economic
recovery.
FACTORS INFLUENCING ANNUAL TRADING LOSSES:
.. In the metals futures markets, losses resulted from long positions in copper
futures as prices reversed lower during the second quarter amid growing
inventory levels and weak industrial demand. Additional losses were recorded
during October from short positions in copper futures as prices reversed
higher amid renewed economic optimism.

1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
ORGANIZATION. Morgan Stanley Spectrum Commodity L.P. ("Spectrum Commodity"),
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 in the
speculative trading of futures contracts, options on futures 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' general partner is Demeter Management Corporation
("Demeter"). The non-clearing commodity broker is Morgan Stanley DW Inc.
("Morgan Stanley DW"). The clearing commodity brokers are Morgan Stanley & Co.
Incorporated ("MS&Co.") and Morgan Stanley & Co. International Limited
("MSIL"). Prior to October 2000, Carr Futures Inc. ("Carr") provided clearing
and execution services to Spectrum Global Balanced, Spectrum Select, Spectrum
Strategic and Spectrum Technical. Morgan Stanley Commodities Management, Inc.
("MSCM") was the trading advisor to Spectrum Commodity. Demeter, Morgan Stanley
DW, MS&Co., MSIL and MSCM are wholly-owned subsidiaries of Morgan Stanley.
Spectrum Commodity became one of the Spectrum Series of funds effective March
6, 2000.
Spectrum Currency commenced trading as of July 3, 2000.
On April 2, 2001, Dean Witter Reynolds Inc. changed its name to Morgan
Stanley DW Inc.
On September 28, 2001, Morgan Stanley Dean Witter Commodities Management Inc.
changed its name to Morgan Stanley Commodities Management Inc.
MORGAN STANLEY SPECTRUM SERIES
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(continued)
On November 1, 2001, the Partnerships were renamed Morgan Stanley Spectrum
Commodity L.P., 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.
On June 20, 2002, Morgan Stanley Dean Witter & Co. changed its name to Morgan
Stanley.
Spectrum Commodity terminated trading on December 31, 2002, and commenced its
dissolution in January 2003 in accordance with the Limited Partnership
Agreement.
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. 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 profits
(losses) 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 the month's average daily "Net Assets" (as defined in the
limited partnership agreements) for the month in the case of Spectrum
Commodity, Spectrum Currency, Spectrum Select, Spectrum Strategic and Spectrum
Technical, and on 100% in the case of Spectrum Global Balanced. The interest
rate is equal to a prevailing rate on U.S. Treasury bills. For purposes of such
interest payments, Net Assets do not include monies owed to the Partnerships on
futures interests.
MORGAN STANLEY SPECTRUM SERIES
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(continued)
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 issued
Statement of Position ("SOP") 01-1, "Amendment to the Scope of Statement of
Position 95-2, Financial Reporting by Nonpublic Investment Partnerships, to
Include Commodity Pools" effective for fiscal years ending after December 15,
2001. Accordingly, commodity pools are required 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.
EQUITY IN FUTURES INTERESTS TRADING ACCOUNTS. The Partnerships' asset "Equity
in futures interests trading accounts," reflected in the statements of
financial condition consists of (A) cash on deposit with Morgan Stanley DW,
MS&Co. and MSIL 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 MSIL acting as their commodity brokers. Pursuant to
brokerage agreements with MS&Co. and 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 terms of
master netting agreements with MS&Co., the sole counterparty on such contracts.
The Partnerships have consistently applied their right to offset.
BROKERAGE AND RELATED TRANSACTION FEES AND COSTS. The brokerage fees for
Spectrum Commodity, Spectrum
MORGAN STANLEY SPECTRUM SERIES
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(continued)
Currency and Spectrum Global Balanced are 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. Prior to April 1, 2000, brokerage fees for Spectrum Commodity were
accrued at a monthly rate of 1/12 of 3.65% of Net Assets (a 3.65% annual rate)
as of the first day of each month.
Brokerage fees for Spectrum Select, Spectrum Strategic and Spectrum Technical
are accrued at a flat monthly rate of 1/12 of 7.25% (a 7.25% annual rate) of

service fee equal to 1/12 of 1% per month (a 1% annual rate) of the
Partnership's Net Assets as of the first day of each month.
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 bore by Morgan Stanley DW through the brokerage fees paid by the
Partnerships.
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.
CONTINUING OFFERING. Units of each Partnership are 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 the month. No selling commissions or charges related to the continuing
offering of Units are paid by the Limited Partners or the Partnerships. Morgan
Stanley DW pays all such costs.
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 becomes a Limited
Partner, upon five business days advance notice by redemption form to Demeter.
Thereafter, Units redeemed on or prior to the last day of the twelfth month
after such Units were purchased will be subject to a redemption charge equal to
2% of the Net Asset Value of a Unit on the date of such redemption. Units
redeemed after the last day of the twelfth month and on or prior to the last
day of the twenty-fourth month after which such Units were purchased will be
subject to a redemption charge equal to 1% of the Net Asset Value of a Unit on
the date of such redemption. Units redeemed after the last day of the
twenty-fourth month after which such Units were purchased will not be subject
to a redemption charge. The foregoing redemption charges are paid to Morgan
Stanley DW. Redemptions must be made in whole Units, in a minimum amount of 50
Units, unless a Limited Partner is redeeming his entire interest in a
Partnership.
EXCHANGES. On the last day of the first month which occurs more than six
months after a person first becomes a Limited Partner in any of the
Partnerships, and at the end of each month thereafter, Limited Partners may
exchange their investment among the Partnerships (subject to certain
restrictions outlined in the Limited Partnership Agreements) without paying
additional charges.
DISSOLUTION OF THE PARTNERSHIPS. Spectrum Commodity terminated trading on
December 31, 2002 and its dissolution was effective January 31, 2003. Spectrum
Currency, Spectrum Global Balanced, Spectrum Strategic and Spectrum Technical
will terminate on December 31, 2035 and Spectrum Select will terminate on

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
subscriptions and redemptions.

4. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
The Partnerships trade futures contracts, options on futures 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. 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 Partnership's contracts are accounted for on a trade-date basis and
marked to market on a daily basis. The Partnership accounts for its derivative
investments in accordance with the provisions of Statement of Financial
Accounting Standard No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging
Activities" ("SFAS No. 133").
MORGAN STANLEY SPECTRUM SERIES
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(continued)
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, 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 were
as follows:

The Partnerships have credit risk associated with counterparty
nonperformance. The credit risk associated 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
MSIL act as the futures commission merchants or the counterparties,
MORGAN STANLEY SPECTRUM SERIES

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. Each of Morgan Stanley DW, MS&Co.
and MSIL, 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, 2002 and 2001
respectively, $14,188,426 and $13,347,440 for Spectrum Commodity, $50,047,775
and $58,042,399 for Spectrum Global Balanced, $287,140,004 and $236,193,605 for
Spectrum Select, $74,612,644 and $70,459,374 for Spectrum Strategic and
$326,385,223 and $247,001,207 for Spectrum Technical. With respect to the
Partnerships' off-exchange-traded forward currency contracts, there are no
daily 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. 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 of 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.
