PART I
Item 1. BUSINESS
(a) General Development of Business. Morgan Stanley Charter
Welton L.P. ("the Partnership" or "Charter Welton") is a Delaware
limited partnership organized to engage primarily in the
speculative trading of futures contracts, options on futures
contracts, and forward contracts on physical commodities and other
commodity interests, including foreign currencies, financial
instruments, metals, energy and agricultural products. The
Partnership commenced operations on March 1, 1999. The
Partnership is one of the Morgan Stanley Charter series of funds,
comprised of the Partnership, Morgan Stanley Charter Campbell L.P.
("Charter Campbell"), Morgan Stanley Charter Graham L.P., Morgan
Stanley Charter Millburn L.P. and Morgan Stanley Charter MSFCM
L.P. (collectively, the "Charter Series").
Effective December 31, 2002, the Partnership terminated trading
and will commence dissolution in April 2003 pursuant to its
Limited Partnership Agreement.
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 were Morgan Stanley & Co. Incorporated ("MS &
Co.") and Morgan Stanley & Co. International Limited ("MSIL").
Demeter, Morgan Stanley DW, MS & Co. and MSIL are wholly-owned
subsidiaries of Morgan Stanley. Welton Investment
Corporation (the "Trading Advisor") was the trading advisor to the
Partnership.
Effective June 20, 2002, Morgan Stanley Dean Witter & Co. changed
its name to Morgan Stanley.
Effective July 29, 2002, Charter Campbell was added to the Charter
Series of funds and began trading on October 1, 2002.
Units of limited partnership interest ("Unit(s)") were sold at
monthly closings at a purchase price equal to 100% of the net
asset value per Unit as of the close of business on the last day
of each month through November 30, 2002. The managing
underwriter for the Partnership was Morgan Stanley DW.
The Partnership's net asset value per Unit at December 31, 2002
was $7.52, representing an increase of 5.5 percent from the net
asset value per Unit of $7.13 at December 31, 2001. 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 have
engaged in one industry segment, the speculative trading of
futures, forwards, and options. The relevant financial
information is presented in Items 6 and 8.
(c) Narrative Description of Business. The Partnership was in the
business of speculative trading of futures, forwards, and options
pursuant to trading instructions provided by the Trading Advisor.

Item 7. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Liquidity. The Partnership deposited 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
were used as margin to engage in trading. The assets were 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 were used as
margin solely for the Partnership's trading.
Investments 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 prompt
liquidation of futures or options contracts.
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 trading in potentially profitable markets or prevent
prompt liquidation of unfavorable positions in such markets,
resulting in substantial losses.
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 did not have any capital
assets. Final redemptions and exchanges out of all remaining
Partnership Units will be made in April 2003.
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.
At December 31, 2002, the Partnership had 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 were 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 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.
Results of Operations.
General. The Partnership's results depended 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. 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 traded were accounted for on a
trade-date basis and marked to market on a daily basis. The
difference between their cost and market value was 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 were closed out, and
the sum of these amounts constituted the Partnership's trading
revenues. Interest income revenue as well as management fees,
incentive fees and brokerage fees expenses of the Partnership were
recorded on an accrual basis.
Demeter believes that, based on the nature of the operations of
the Partnership, no assumptions other than those 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
$10,900,163, a decrease of $5,752,913 from the Partnership's total
capital of $16,653,076 at December 31, 2001. For the year ended
December 31, 2002, the Partnership generated net income of
$589,901, total subscriptions aggregated $1,857,568 and total
redemptions aggregated $8,200,382.
For the year ended December 31, 2002, the Partnership recorded
total trading revenues, including interest income, of $1,873,439
and posted an increase in net asset value per Unit. The most
significant gains of approximately 34.2% were recorded in
the global interest rate futures markets during the second half
of the year from long positions in European, U.S., and Japanese
interest rate futures as prices trended higher in reaction to
falling equity prices, increased economic uncertainty, and global
political tensions. A portion of the Partnership's gains was
offset by losses of approximately 5.2% recorded in the currency
markets as losses were incurred early in the year from short
positions in the euro relative to the U.S. dollar amid weakness
in U.S. equities and improved European economic confidence. The
Japanese yen also reversed higher versus the U.S. dollar early in
the year amid yen repatriation, resulting in losses from short
yen positions. Additional currency losses resulted from long
euro/Japanese yen crossrate positions. Further losses of
approximately 4.4% resulted during the first six months of the
year from short positions in Japanese stock index futures as
prices increased amid renewed optimism regarding a Japanese
economic recovery. Additional losses in this sector resulted
from positions in U.S. stock index futures as equity prices
experienced volatility throughout the year. Smaller losses of
approximately 3.9% were recorded in the agricultural futures
markets from short positions in coffee futures as prices
increased during October amid news of lower supply resulting from
Brazilian drought stress. In the energy futures markets, losses
of approximately 3.2% were experienced from long positions in
crude oil futures as prices reversed lower in May amid a
temporary easing of tensions in the Middle East and supply
concerns. Total expenses for year were $1,283,538, resulting in
net income of $589,901. The net asset value of a Unit increased
from $7.13 at December 31, 2001 to $7.52 at December 31, 2002.
At December 31, 2001, the Partnership's total capital was
$16,653,076, a decrease of $5,656,365 from the Partnership's total
capital of $22,309,441 at December 31, 2000. For the year ended
December 31, 2001, the Partnership generated a net loss of
$2,934,740, total subscriptions aggregated $2,990,346 and total
redemptions aggregated $5,711,971.
For the year ended December 31, 2001, the Partnership recorded
total trading losses, net of interest income, of $1,173,894 and
posted a decrease in net asset value per Unit. The most
significant losses of approximately 10.2% were recorded in the
energy markets throughout the first nine months of the year from
trading 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. In the currency markets,
losses of approximately 7.8% were experienced primarily during
January and February from crossrate transactions involving the
euro relative to the Japanese yen due to short term volatility as
a result of conflicting economic signals and a surprise cut in the
discount rate by the Bank of Japan. Smaller losses of
approximately 5.3% were recorded in the metals markets primarily
during April and early May from short gold futures
positions as prices climbed higher on weakness in the U.S. dollar.
These losses were partially offset by gains of approximately
18.5% recorded in the global interest rate futures markets
primarily during August and September from long positions in
short-term U.S. interest rate futures as prices trended higher
following interest rate cuts by the U.S. Federal Reserve and as
investors sought the safe haven of shorter maturity fixed income
investments. Smaller gains of approximately 0.4% were recorded in
the soft commodities markets primarily during February from short
cotton futures positions as cotton prices declined on weak export
sales and low demand. Total expenses for the year were $1,760,846,
resulting in a net loss of $2,934,740. The net asset value of a
Unit decreased from $8.20 at December 31, 2000 to $7.13 at
December 31, 2001.
At December 31, 2000, the Partnership's total capital was
$22,309,441, a decrease of $767,920 from the Partnership's total
capital of $23,077,361 at December 31, 1999. For the year ended
December 31, 2000, the Partnership generated a net loss of
$1,995,420, total subscriptions aggregated $7,125,282 and total
redemptions aggregated $5,897,782.
For the year ended December 31, 2000, the Partnership recorded
total trading losses, net of interest income, of $6,294 and
posted a decrease in net asset value per Unit. The most
significant losses of approximately 10.8% were recorded in
the global stock index futures markets primarily during January
from long positions in U.S. stock index futures as U.S. and
European equity prices reversed lower, after rallying higher in
December 1999, amid fears of interest rate hikes in the U.S. and
Europe. During April, additional losses were recorded from long
U.S. stock index futures positions as domestic equity prices
declined following the release of an unexpected jump in the
Consumer Price Index. In the metals markets, losses of
approximately 5.6% resulted primarily from short aluminum futures
positions as prices reversed sharply higher during mid June on
institutional buying and fears that U.S. capacity could be hit
further by power shortages. Additional losses were incurred
throughout the fourth quarter from long positions in copper and
aluminum futures as prices declined after concerns mounted that
demand would weaken amid a cooling of the U.S. economy. A
portion of the Partnership's overall losses was partially offset
by gains of approximately 7.2% recorded in the energy markets
primarily during November and December from long positions in
natural gas futures as prices trended higher on supply and
storage concerns. In the global interest rate futures markets,
gains of approximately 6.5% were recorded primarily during August
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. Total expenses for the year were
$1,989,126, resulting in a net loss of $1,995,420. The net asset
value of a Unit decreased from $8.93 at December 31, 1999 to $8.20
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 was a party to financial
instruments with elements of off-balance sheet market and credit
risk. The Partnership traded futures, forwards and options in
interest rates, stock indices, currencies, agriculturals,
energies, and metals. In entering into these contracts, the
Partnership was 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 moved 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 have lost all of its assets and the limited
partners would have realized a 100% loss.
In addition to the Trading Advisor's internal controls, the
Trading Advisor also complied with the trading policies of the
Partnership. These trading policies included standards for
liquidity and leverage. The Trading Advisor and Demeter monitored
trading activities to ensure compliance with the trading
policies.
In addition to market risk, in entering into futures, forward,
and options contracts there is credit risk that the counterparty
on a contract will not be able to meet its obligations. The
ultimate counterparty or guarantor of the futures contracts
traded in the United States and the foreign exchanges 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 traded
off-exchange forward contracts with a counterparty, the
sole recourse of the Partnership was the forward contracts
counterparty.
There is no assurance that a clearinghouse or exchange 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 dealt with these credit risks of the Partnership in
several ways. First, it monitored 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
informed the Partnership, as with all their customers, of its net
margin requirements for all its existing open positions, but did
not break that net figure down, exchange by exchange. Demeter
installed a system which permitted it to monitor the
Partnership's potential margin liability, exchange by exchange.
As a result, Demeter was 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 limited the amount of
its net assets that could be committed at any given time to
futures contracts and required, 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 was to reduce the credit exposure of the Partnership to
a single exchange and, historically, the Partnership's exposure
to any one exchange typically amounted to only a small percentage
of its total net assets. On those relatively few occasions where
credit exposure may have climbed above such level, Demeter dealt
with the situation on a case by case basis, carefully weighing
whether the increased level of credit exposure remained
appropriate.
Third, with respect to forward contract trading, the Partnership
traded with only those counterparties which Demeter, together
with Morgan Stanley DW, determined to be creditworthy. The
Partnership dealt 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 that was engaged primarily in
the speculative trading of futures, forwards and options. The
market-sensitive instruments held by the Partnership were acquired
for speculative trading purposes only and, as a result, all or
substantially all of the Partnership's assets were at risk of
trading loss. Unlike an operating company, the risk of market-
sensitive instruments was central, not incidental, to the
Partnership's main business activities.
The futures, forwards, and options traded by the Partnership
involved 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 resulted 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 was 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 acted to increase or decrease the market
risk associated with the Partnership.
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 accounted for open positions on the basis of mark-
to-market accounting principles. Any losses in the market value
of the Partnership's open positions were 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 were 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 estimated 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 were based on the risk
representation of the underlying benchmark for each instrument or
contract and did not distinguish between exchange and non-
exchange-traded instruments and were 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 was 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.
The Partnership's VaR at December 31, 2002 was zero for all
market risk categories because its open positions consisted of
unsettled London Metals Exchange positions that net to zero
value. These positions carry no variation risk because their
settlement price has been established and cannot change in the
future. At December 31, 2002 and 2001, the Partnership's total
capitalization was approximately $11 million and $17 million,
respectively.
Primary Market December 31, 2002 December 31, 2001
Risk Category Value at Risk Value at Risk
Currency (0.00)% (3.10)%
Interest Rate (0.00) (1.57)
Equity (0.00) (1.47)
Commodity (0.00) (1.01)
Aggregate Value at Risk (0.00)% (3.52)%
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 the Partnership's open positions
across all the market categories, and is less than the sum of the
VaR(s) 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 the historic risk of an investment
in the Partnership.
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
Currency (2.63)% (0.00)% (1.75)%
Interest Rate (3.32) (0.00) (2.12)
Equity (1.02) (0.00) (0.46)
Commodity (2.19) (0.00) (1.20)
Aggregate Value at Risk (4.59)% (0.00)% (3.10)%
Limitations on Value at Risk as an Assessment of Market Risk
The face value of the market sector instruments held by the
Partnership was typically many times the applicable margin
requirements. Margin requirements generally range between 2% and
15% of contract face value. Additionally, the use of leverage
caused 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 created a "risk of ruin" not
usually found in other investments. The relative size of the
positions held may have caused 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,
gave 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.
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 105% 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 expro-
priations, 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.
Commodity.
Metals. The Partnership's metals exposure at December 31,
2002 was to fluctuations in the price of base metals, such
as aluminum and nickel. Economic forces, supply and demand
inequalities, geopolitical factors and market expectations
influence price movements in these markets.
Qualitative Disclosures Regarding Non-Trading Risk Exposure
At December 31, 2002, there was no non-trading risk exposure
because the Partnership did not have any foreign currency
balances.
Qualitative Disclosures Regarding Means of Managing Risk Exposure
The Partnership and the Trading Advisor, separately, attempted to
manage the risk of the Partnership's open positions in
essentially the same manner in all market categories traded.
Demeter attempted 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 established
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.

1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
ORGANIZATION. Morgan Stanley Charter Campbell L.P. ("Charter Campbell"),
Morgan Stanley Charter MSFCM L.P. ("Charter MSFCM"), Morgan Stanley Charter
Graham L.P. ("Charter Graham"), Morgan Stanley Charter Millburn L.P. ("Charter
Millburn"), and Morgan Stanley Charter Welton L.P. ("Charter Welton")
(individually, a "Partnership", or collectively, the "Partnerships") are
limited partnerships organized to engage primarily in the speculative trading
of futures contracts, options on futures contracts, and forward contracts on
physical commodities and other commodity interests, including foreign
currencies, financial instruments, metals, energy and agricultural products
(collectively, "futures interests").
The general partner for each Partnership 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"). The trading advisor for Charter MSFCM is Morgan Stanley Futures
& Currency Management Inc. ("MSFCM"). Demeter, Morgan Stanley DW, MS&Co., MSIL
and MSFCM are wholly-owned subsidiaries of Morgan Stanley.
DWFCM International Access Fund L.P. became one of the Charter Series of
funds effective December 1, 2000. Each outstanding unit of limited partnership
interest ("Unit(s)") in DWFCM International Access Fund L.P. was converted to
100 Units of Charter MSFCM. The number of Units outstanding, net income or loss
per Unit and Net Asset Value per Unit have been adjusted for all prior
reporting periods to reflect this conversion.
Effective June 20, 2002, Morgan Stanley Dean Witter & Co. changed its name to
Morgan Stanley.
Effective July 29, 2002, Charter Campbell was added to the Charter Series and
began trading on October 1, 2002.
MORGAN STANLEY CHARTER SERIES
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(continued)
Effective December 31, 2002, Charter Welton ceased trading and will commence
dissolution in April 2003 in accordance with its 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 on 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 profit
(loss) on open contracts from one period to the next in the statement of
operations. Monthly, Morgan Stanley DW credits each Partnership with interest
income on 100% of its average daily funds held at Morgan Stanley DW. In
addition, Morgan Stanley DW credits each Partnership with 100% of the interest
income Morgan Stanley DW receives from MS&Co. and MSIL with respect to such
Partnership's assets deposited as margin. The interest rates used are equal to
that earned by Morgan Stanley DW on its U.S. Treasury bill investments. Prior
to December 1, 2000 Charter MSFCM was credited with interest income based on
80% of the average daily Net Assets for the month at a rate equal to the
average yield on 13-week U.S. Treasury bills. For purposes of such interest
payments Net Assets do not include monies owed to the Partnerships on forward
contracts and other futures interests.
NET INCOME (LOSS) PER UNIT. Net income (loss) per Unit is computed using the
weighted average number of Units outstanding during the period.
MORGAN STANLEY CHARTER SERIES
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(continued)
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 in 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 the
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. Each Partnership pays a
flat-rate monthly brokerage fee of 1/12 of 6.75% of the Partnership's Net
Assets as of the first day of each month (a 6.75% annual rate). Such fees
currently cover all brokerage commissions, transaction fees and costs and
ordinary administrative and offering expenses.
MORGAN STANLEY CHARTER SERIES
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(continued)
Prior to May 1, 2002, each Partnership paid a flat-rate monthly brokerage fee
of 1/12 of 7% of the Partnership's Net Assets as of the first day of each
month (a 7% annual rate).
Prior to becoming a member of the Charter Series on December 1, 2000, Charter
MSFCM accrued brokerage commissions and transaction fees and costs on a
half-turn basis, at 80% and 100%, respectively, of the rates Morgan Stanley DW
charged parties that were not clearinghouse members. Total brokerage
commissions and transaction fees chargeable to the Partnership were capped at
13/20 of 1% per month (a maximum 7.8% annual rate) of the Partnership's
adjusted month-end Net Assets.
OPERATING EXPENSES. Each of the Partnerships incurs monthly management fees
and may incur incentive fees. All common administrative and continuing offering
expenses including legal, auditing, accounting, filing fees and other related
expenses are borne by Morgan Stanley DW through the brokerage fees paid by the
Partnerships.
Prior to becoming a member of the Charter Series on December 1, 2000, Charter
MSFCM paid all operating expenses related to its trading activities, up to a
maximum 1/4 of 1% annually of its average month-end Net Assets. Charter
MSFCM's operating expenses included filing fees, legal, auditing, accounting,
mailing, printing and other incidental expenses as permitted by its Limited
Partnership Agreement at the time.
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 at monthly closings held as of the last
day of each month. No selling commissions or charges related
MORGAN STANLEY CHARTER SERIES
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(continued)
to the continuing offering of Units are paid by the Limited Partners or the
Partnerships. Morgan Stanley DW pays all such costs.
REDEMPTIONS. Limited Partners may redeem some or all of their Units as of the
last day of the sixth month following the closing at which a person first
becomes a Limited Partner. Redemptions may only be made in whole Units, with a
minimum of 100 Units required for each redemption, unless a Limited Partner is
redeeming his entire interest in a particular Partnership.
Units redeemed on or prior to the last day of the twelfth month from the date
of purchase will be subject to a redemption charge equal to 2% of the Net Asset
Value of a Unit on the Redemption Date. Units redeemed after the last day of
the twelfth month and on or prior to the last day of the twenty-fourth month
from the date of purchase will be subject to a redemption charge equal to 1% of
the Net Asset Value of a Unit on the Redemption Date. Units redeemed after the
last day of the twenty-fourth month from the date of purchase will not be
subject to a redemption charge. The foregoing redemption charges are paid to
Morgan Stanley DW.
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
transfer their investment among the Partnerships (subject to certain
restrictions outlined in the Limited Partnership Agreements) without paying
additional charges.
DISSOLUTION OF THE PARTNERSHIPS. Charter Welton terminated trading on December
31, 2002 and will commence dissolution in accordance with its Limited
Partnership Agreement in April 2003. Charter MSFCM will terminate on December
31, 2025 and Charter Campbell, Charter Graham and Charter Millburn will
terminate on December 31, 2035 or at an earlier date if certain conditions
occur as defined in each Partnership's Limited Partnership Agreement.
LITIGATION SETTLEMENT. On February 27, 2002, Charter MSFCM received
notification of a preliminary entitlement to payment from the Sumitomo Copper
MORGAN STANLEY CHARTER SERIES

2. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
Each Partnership pays brokerage fees to Morgan Stanley DW as described in Note
1. Each Partnership's cash is on deposit with Morgan Stanley DW, MS&Co. and
MSIL in futures interests trading accounts to meet margin requirements as
needed. Morgan Stanley DW pays interest on these funds as described in Note 1.
Demeter, on behalf of Charter MSFCM and itself, entered into a management
agreement with MSFCM to make all trading decisions for the Partnership. Charter
MSFCM pays management and incentive fees (if any) to MSFCM.
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Compensation to the trading advisors by the Partnerships consists of a
management fee and an incentive fee as follows:
MANAGEMENT FEE. Each Partnership pays its trading advisor a flat-rate monthly
fee of 1/12 of 2% (a 2% annual rate) or, in the case of Charter Campbell, a
MORGAN STANLEY CHARTER SERIES
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(continued)
monthly fee of 1/12 of 2.75% (a 2.75% annual rate), of the Partnership's Net
Assets under management by each trading advisor as of the first day of each
month.
Prior to December 1, 2000, Charter MSFCM paid a monthly management fee equal
to 1/4 of 1% (a 3% annual rate) of the Partnership's adjusted Net Assets, as
defined in the management agreement, as of the last day of each month.
INCENTIVE FEE. Each Partnership's incentive fee is equal to 20% of trading
profits, paid on a quarterly basis for Charter MSFCM, and paid on a monthly
basis for Charter Campbell, Charter Graham, Charter Millburn and Charter Welton.
Prior to December 1, 2000, Charter MSFCM paid a quarterly incentive fee equal
to 15% of the trading profits earned by the Partnership as of the end of each
calendar quarter.
Trading profits represent the amount by which profits from futures, forwards
and options trading exceed losses after brokerage and management fees are
deducted. When a trading advisor experiences losses with respect to Net Assets
as of the end of a calendar month, or calendar quarter with respect to Charter
MSFCM, the trading advisor must recover such losses before that trading advisor
is eligible for an incentive fee in the future.

4. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
The Partnerships trade futures contracts, options on futures contracts and
forward contracts on physical commodities and other commodity interests,
including 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 Partnerships' contracts are accounted for on a trade-date basis and
marked to market on a daily basis. Each Partnership accounts for its derivative
investments in accordance with the provisions of Statement of Financial
Accounting Standard No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging
Activities" ("SFAS No. 133"). SFAS No. 133 defines a derivative as a financial
instrument or other contract that has all three of the following
characteristics:
1) One or more underlying notional amounts or payment provisions;
2) Requires no initial net investment or a smaller initial net investment than
would be required relative to changes in market factors;
3) Terms require or permit net settlement.
Generally derivatives include futures, forward, swaps or options contracts, or
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

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, 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
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 $15,659,223 for Charter
Campbell at December 31, 2002, $73,921,843 and $42,535,750 for Charter MSFCM,
$111,564,112 and $46,265,281 for Charter Graham, $42,946,755 and $28,185,811
for Charter Millburn, and $13,612,650 and $17,452,742 for Charter Welton at
December 31, 2002 and 2001, respectively. With respect to each Partnership's
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
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.
