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. Such assets
are used as margin to engage in trading and may be used as margin
solely for the Partnership?s trading. The assets are held in
either non-interest bearing bank accounts or in securities and
instruments permitted by the Commodity Futures Trading Commission
for investment of customer segregated or secured funds. Since the
Partnership?s sole purpose is to trade in futures, forwards, and
options, it is expected that the Partnership will continue to own
such liquid assets for margin purposes.
The Partnership?s investment in futures, forwards, and options
may, from time to time, be illiquid. Most U.S. futures exchanges
limit fluctuations in prices during a single day by regulations
referred to as ?daily price fluctuations limits? or ?daily
limits?. Trades may not be executed at prices beyond the daily
limit. If the price for a particular futures or options contract
has increased or decreased by an amount equal to the daily limit,
positions in that futures or options contract can neither be taken
nor liquidated unless traders are willing to effect trades at or
within the limit. Futures prices have occasionally moved the
daily limit for several consecutive days with little or no
trading. These market conditions could prevent the Partnership
from promptly liquidating its futures or options contracts
and result in restrictions on redemptions.
There is no limitation on daily price moves in trading forward
contracts on foreign currencies. The markets for some world
currencies have low trading volume and are illiquid, which may
prevent the Partnership from trading in potentially profitable
markets or prevent the Partnership from promptly liquidating
unfavorable positions in such markets, subjecting it to
substantial losses. Either of these market conditions could
result in restrictions on redemptions. For the periods covered by
this report, illiquidity has not materially affected the
Partnership?s assets.
There are no known material trends, demands, commitments, events,
or uncertainties at the present time that 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 expects to
have, any capital assets. Redemptions, exchanges, and sales of
Units in the future will affect the amount of funds available for
investments in futures, forwards, and options in subsequent
periods. It is not possible to estimate the amount, and therefore
the impact, of future inflows and outflows 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.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements and Contractual Obligations. The
Partnership does not have any off-balance sheet arrangements, nor
does it have contractual obligations or commercial commitments to
make future payments that would affect its liquidity or capital
resources.
Results of Operations.
General. The Partnership?s results depend on the Trading Advisor
and the ability of the Trading Advisor?s trading program to take
advantage of price movements in the futures, forwards, and options
markets. The following presents a summary of the Partnership?s
operations for each of the three years in the period ended
December 31, 2004 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 during the period in question.
Past performance is no guarantee of future results.
The Partnership?s results of operations set forth in the financial
statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States of America, which require
the use of certain accounting policies that affect the amounts
reported in these financial statements, including the following:
The contracts the Partnership trades are accounted for on a trade-
date basis and marked to market on a daily basis. The difference
between their cost and market value is recorded on the Statements
of Operations as ?Net change in unrealized trading profit (loss)?
for open (unrealized) contracts, and recorded as ?Realized trading
profit (loss)? when open positions are closed out. The sum of
these amounts constitutes the Partnership?s trading results. The
market value of a futures contract is the settlement price on the
exchange on which that futures contract is traded on a particular
day. The value of foreign currency forward contracts is based on
the spot rate as of the close of business. Interest income, 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 relating to the application of
critical accounting policies other than those presently used could
reasonably affect reported amounts.
The Partnership recorded total trading results including interest
totaling $562,037 and expenses totaling $5,022,077, resulting in a
net loss of $4,460,040 for the year ended December 31, 2004. The
Partnership?s net asset value per Unit decreased from $11.11 at
December 31, 2003 to $10.52 at December 31, 2004. Total
redemptions and subscriptions for the year were $21,209,420 and
$21,382,002, respectively, and the Partnership?s ending capital
was $60,588,540 at December 31, 2004, a decrease of $4,287,458
from ending capital at December 31, 2003 of $64,875,998.
The most significant trading losses of approximately 3.1% were
experienced in the currency markets from positions in the Japanese
yen versus the U.S. dollar. These losses were experienced
throughout the year from both long and short positions in the yen
relative to the U.S. dollar and the euro as the value of the yen
experienced significant short-term price volatility due to
conflicting economic data regarding a Japanese economic recovery,
uncertainty regarding currency market interventions by the Bank of
Japan, geopolitical concerns stemming from terror warnings and
instability in Iraq, and speculation regarding the direction of
U.S. and Japanese interest rates. Losses were also recorded from
positions in the Singapore dollar against the U.S. dollar,
primarily during the first and second quarter, as the value of the
Singapore dollar experienced significant ?whipsawing? in tandem
with the value of the Japanese yen. Elsewhere in the currency
markets, losses were recorded from positions in the euro
versus the U.S. dollar, primarily during the first quarter, as
well as during July and August, as the value of the euro also
moved in a trendless pattern due to conflicting economic data and
volatility in oil prices. Within the global stock index markets,
losses of approximately 2.4% were incurred during April, May, and
July from long positions in European equity index futures as
prices drifted lower amid the continuing instability in Iraq,
fears of global terrorism and concerns of higher interest rates.
Additional losses were recorded from positions in Pacific Rim
equity index futures as prices moved without consistent direction
for the aforementioned reasons, in addition to inconsistent
earnings in the technology sector, conflicting news regarding a
full recovery for Japan?s economy, and volatility in the energy
markets. Smaller losses of approximately 0.3% were experienced
in the metals markets from long futures positions in gold as
precious metals prices weakened due to the sudden strength in the
U.S. dollar during April. A portion of the Partnership?s overall
losses for the year was offset by gains of approximately 2.7% in
global interest rate futures markets from long positions in
European interest rate futures during February, March, August, and
September as prices rallied on uncertainty in the global equity
markets, disappointing economic data, ?safe-haven? buying amid
major geopolitical concerns, and a surge in oil prices. Further
gains from long positions in European interest rates were recorded
in the fourth quarter as prices continued to trend higher for the
aforementioned reasons, in addition to the rise in the
value of the euro. Additional gains of approximately 2.4% were
experienced in the energy markets. Long positions in crude oil
and its related products profited as prices trended higher
throughout a majority of the year due to consistent news of tight
supply, continuing geopolitical concerns in the Middle East,
concerns that top Russian oil producer, Yukos, may break up or
stop selling oil, major production disruptions in the Gulf of
Mexico, growing civil unrest in Nigeria, and the threat of a
national strike in Norway. Smaller gains of approximately 0.6%
were generated in the agricultural markets during March from long
positions in corn futures as prices increased on news of strong
demand from Asia. Further gains were experienced during July and
August from short positions in corn futures as prices weakened due
to ideal weather conditions in the growing regions of the U.S.
Midwest, reports of increased inventories, and weaker export
demand.
The Partnership recorded total trading results including interest
totaling $3,968,233 and expenses totaling $5,256,746, resulting in
a net loss of $1,288,513 for the year ended December 31, 2003. The
Partnership's net asset value per Unit decreased from $11.18 at
December 31, 2002 to $11.11 at December 31, 2003. Total
redemptions and subscriptions for the year were $8,236,758 and
$30,121,428, respectively, and the Partnership's ending capital
was $64,875,998 at December 31, 2003, an increase of
$20,596,157 from ending capital at December 31, 2002 of
$44,279,841.
The most significant trading gains of approximately 5.7% were
recorded in the currency markets from long positions in the euro
versus the U.S. dollar as the value of the U.S. dollar declined
against the euro throughout a majority of the year due to
geopolitical uncertainty, negative economic data, and the
decision by the European Central Bank to leave interest rates
unchanged. Additional gains were recorded from long positions in
the Australian dollar, New Zealand dollar, and South African rand
versus the U.S. dollar during much of the year as the value of
the ?commodity currencies? increased versus the U.S. dollar on
the heels of higher commodity prices and a significant interest
rate differential between these countries and the U.S.
Additional gains of approximately 3.6% were recorded in the
global stock index futures markets from long positions in Pacific
Rim and U.S. stock index futures as global equity prices moved
higher throughout the latter half of the year due to continued
optimism regarding a global economic recovery. Smaller gains of
approximately 2.0% were recorded in the metals markets from long
positions in gold futures as prices trended higher, ultimately
climbing to a seven-year high in December due to weakness in the
U.S. dollar and technically-based buying. Smaller gains were
recorded from long copper positions during the fourth quarter. A
portion of the Partnership?s overall gains for the year
was offset by trading losses of approximately 2.1% in the
agricultural markets from positions in corn futures as prices
moved without consistent direction during the first three
quarters of the year amid weather-related concerns throughout the
U.S. Midwest. Additional losses of approximately 1.9% were
recorded in the energy markets, primarily during October, as the
Partnership entered the month with short natural gas positions
which proved unprofitable as prices rallied during the first part
of the month. In response to this rise in prices, the
Partnership reversed its position from short to long, only to see
prices decline in the latter part of the month. Additional
losses were incurred in the energy sector from positions in crude
oil futures as prices moved erratically during October in
response to geopolitical and supply/demand factors. Additional
losses were experienced during November as crude oil prices
continued to trade in a volatile fashion, moving in one direction
and then sharply reversing. In December, long futures positions
in natural gas resulted in losses as prices fell sharply
following mild temperatures across the U.S. and U.S. Department
of Energy reports of increases in U.S. inventories that were much
larger than expected.
The Partnership recorded total trading results including interest
totaling $9,999,630 and expenses totaling $3,145,757, resulting
in net income of $6,853,873 for the year ended December 31,
2002. The Partnership's net asset value per Unit
increased from $9.23 at December 31, 2001 to $11.18 at December
31, 2002. Total redemptions and subscriptions for the year were
$5,628,599 and $12,835,966, respectively, and the Partnership's
ending capital was $44,279,841 at December 31, 2002, an increase
of $14,061,240 from ending capital at December 31, 2001 of
$30,218,601.
The most significant trading gains of approximately 18.4% were
recorded in the global interest rate futures markets during the
period from June through September, as well as in December, from
long positions in European, U.S., and Japanese interest rate
futures as prices trended higher amid increased demand among
investors seeking the ?safe haven? of fixed income investments.
Additional gains of approximately 11.2% resulted from long
positions in the euro, Swiss franc, and Singapore dollar versus
the U.S. dollar as the value of the U.S. dollar weakened during
May, June, and December amid concerns regarding the U.S. economic
recovery and escalating tensions involving Iraq and North Korea.
Smaller gains of approximately 1.7% were recorded in the global
stock index futures markets from short positions in European and
U.S. stock index futures as equity prices trended lower
throughout a majority of the year amid continued uncertainty
regarding a global economic recovery. A portion of the
Partnership?s overall gains was offset by losses of approximately
2.4% recorded in the agricultural futures markets throughout the
first and second quarter from long positions in sugar
futures as prices initially declined and then moved erratically
amid rumors of larger than expected Brazilian exports.
For an analysis of unrealized gains and (losses) by contract type
and a further description of 2004 trading results, refer to the
Partnership?s Annual Report to Limited Partners for the year ended
December 31, 2004, which is incorporated by reference to Exhibit
13.01 of this Form 10-K.
The Partnership?s gains and losses are allocated among its
partners for income tax purposes.
Market Risk.
Financial Instruments. The Partnership is a party to financial
instruments with elements of off-balance sheet market and credit
risk. The Partnership trades futures 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. 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 was
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 Partnership?s trading
policies that include standards for liquidity and leverage that
must be maintained. The Trading Advisor and Demeter monitor the
Partnership's trading activities to ensure compliance with the
trading policies and Demeter can require the Trading Advisor to
modify positions of the Partnership if Demeter believes they
violate the Partnership's trading policies.
Credit Risk.
In addition to market risk, in entering into futures, forward, and
options contracts there is a credit risk to the Partnership that
the counterparty on a contract will not be able to meet its
obligations to the Partnership. The ultimate counterparty or
guarantor of the Partnership for futures, forward, and options
contracts traded in the United States and most foreign exchanges
on which the Partnership trades is the clearinghouse associated
with such exchange. In general, a clearinghouse is backed by the
membership of the exchange and will act in the event of non-
performance by one of its members or one of its member?s
customers, which should significantly reduce this credit risk.
There is no assurance that a clearinghouse, exchange, or other
exchange member will meet its obligations to the
Partnership, and Demeter and the commodity 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. In cases where the Partnership trades off-
exchange forward contracts with a counterparty, the sole recourse
of the Partnership will be the forward contract?s counterparty.
Demeter deals with these credit risks of the Partnership in
several ways. First, it monitors the Partnership?s credit
exposure to each exchange on a daily basis. The commodity brokers
inform the Partnership, as with all their customers, of its net
margin requirements for all its existing open positions, and
Demeter has installed a system which permits it to monitor the
Partnership?s potential net credit exposure, exchange by exchange,
by adding the unrealized trading gains on each exchange, if any,
to the Partnership?s margin liability thereon.
Second, the Partnership?s trading policies limit the amount of its
net assets that can be committed at any given time to futures
contracts and require a minimum amount of diversification in the
Partnership?s trading, usually over several different products and
exchanges. Historically, the Partnership?s exposure to any one
exchange has typically amounted to only a small percentage of its
total net assets and on those relatively few occasions
where the Partnership?s credit exposure climbs above 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.
For additional information, see the ?Financial Instruments?
section under ?Notes to Financial Statements? in the Partnership?s
Annual Report to Limited Partners for the year ended December 31,
2004, 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 inherent to the primary business
activity of the Partnership.
The futures, forwards, and options traded by the Partnership
involve varying degrees of related market risk. Market risk is
often dependent upon changes in the level or volatility of
interest rates, exchange rates, and prices of financial
instruments and commodities, factors that result in frequent
changes in the fair value of the Partnership?s open positions, and
consequently in its earnings, whether realized or unrealized, and
cash flow. Gains and losses on open positions of exchange-traded
futures, forwards, and options are settled daily through variation
margin. Gains and losses on off-exchange-traded forward currency
contracts are settled upon termination of the contract, however,
the Partnership is required to meet margin requirements equal to
the net unrealized loss on open contracts in the Partnership
accounts with the counterparty, which is accomplished by daily
maintenance of the cash balance in a custody account held at
Morgan Stanley DW for the benefit of MS & Co.
The Partnership?s total market risk may increase or
decrease as it is influenced by a wide variety of factors,
including, but not limited to, the diversification among the
Partnership?s open positions, the volatility present within the
markets, and the liquidity of the markets.
The 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 Partnership?s past performance is no guarantee of 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 and use of
leverage may cause future losses and volatility (i.e., ?risk of
ruin?) that far exceed the Partnership?s experiences to date under
the ?Partnership?s Value at Risk in Different Market Sectors?
section and significantly exceed the Value at Risk (?VaR?) tables
disclosed.
Limited partners will not be liable for losses exceeding the
current net asset value of their investment.
Quantifying the Partnership?s Trading Value at Risk
The following quantitative disclosures regarding the Partner-
ship?s market risk exposures contain ?forward-looking statements?
within the meaning of the safe harbor from civil liability
provided for such statements by the Private Securities Litigation
Reform Act of 1995 (set forth in Section 27A of the Securities
Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of
1934). All quantitative disclosures in this section are deemed
to be forward-looking statements for purposes of the safe harbor,
except for statements of historical fact.
The Partnership accounts for open positions on the basis of mark
to market accounting principles. Any loss in the market value of
the Partnership?s open positions is directly reflected in the
Partnership?s earnings and cash flow.
The Partnership?s risk exposure in the market sectors traded by
the Trading Advisor is estimated below in terms of VaR. The
Partnership estimates VaR using a model based upon historical
simulation (with a confidence level of 99%) which involves
constructing a distribution of hypothetical daily changes in the
value of a trading portfolio. The VaR model takes into account
linear exposures to risks including equity and commodity prices,
interest rates, foreign exchange rates, and correlation among
these variables. The hypothetical changes in portfolio value are
based on daily percentage changes observed in key market indices
or other market factors (?market risk factors?) to which
the portfolio is sensitive. The one-day 99% confidence level of
the Partnership?s VaR corresponds to the negative change in
portfolio value that, based on observed market risk factors, would
have been exceeded once in 100 trading days, or one day in 100.
VaR typically does not represent the worst case outcome. Demeter
uses approximately four years of daily market data (1,000
observations) and revalues its portfolio (using delta-gamma
approximations) for each of the historical market moves that
occurred over this time period. This generates a probability
distribution of daily ?simulated profit and loss? outcomes. The
VaR is the appropriate percentile of this distribution. For
example, the 99% one-day VaR would represent the 10th worst
outcome from Demeter?s simulated profit and loss series.
The Partnership?s VaR computations are based on the risk
representation of the underlying benchmark for each instrument or
contract and do not distinguish between exchange and non-exchange
dealer-based instruments. They are also not based on exchange
and/or dealer-based maintenance margin requirements.
VaR models, including the Partnership?s, are continuously evolving
as trading portfolios become more diverse and modeling techniques
and systems capabilities improve. Please note that the VaR model
is used to numerically quantify market risk for historic reporting
purposes only and is not utilized by either Demeter or the Trading
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, 2004 and 2003. At
December 31, 2004 and 2003, the Partnership?s total capital-
ization was approximately $61 million and $65 million,
respectively.
Primary Market December 31, 2004 December 31, 2003
Risk Category Value at Risk Value at Risk
Equity (1.86)% (1.14)%
Currency (1.61) (2.74)
Interest Rate (0.92) (1.58)
Commodity (0.45) (1.29)
Aggregate Value at Risk (2.65)% (3.55)%
The VaR for a market category represents the one-day downside risk
for the aggregate exposures associated with this market category.
The Aggregate Value at Risk listed above represents the VaR 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.
Because the business of the Partnership is the speculative trading
of futures, forwards, and options, the composition of its trading
portfolio can change significantly over any given time period, or
even within a single trading day, which could positively or
negatively materially impact market risk as measured by VaR.
The table below supplements the December 31, 2004 VaR set forth
above by presenting the Partnership?s high, low, and average VaR,
as a percentage of total net assets for the four quarter-end
reporting periods from January 1, 2004 through December 31, 2004.
Primary Market Risk Category High Low Average
Equity (1.86)% (0.21)% (0.94)%
Currency (1.76) (0.98) (1.46)
Interest Rate (2.16) (0.92) (1.52)
Commodity (1.30) (0.32) (0.71)
Aggregate Value at Risk (3.04)% (2.05)% (2.61)%
Limitations on Value at Risk as an Assessment of Market Risk
VaR models permit estimation of a portfolio?s aggregate market
risk exposure, incorporating a range of varied market risks;
reflect risk reduction due to portfolio diversification or hedging
activities; and can cover a wide range of portfolio assets.
However, VaR risk measures should be viewed in light of the
methodology?s limitations, which include, but may not be
limited to 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 market fluctuations applied to current
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.
In addition, the VaR tables above, as well as the past performance
of the Partnership, give no indication of the Partnership?s
potential ?risk of ruin?.
The VaR tables provided 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, 2003, and for the four quarter-end
reporting periods during calendar year 2004. VaR is not
necessarily representative of the Partnership?s historic
risk, nor should it be used to predict the Partnership?s future
financial performance or its ability to manage or monitor risk.
There can be no assurance that the Partnership?s actual losses on
a particular day will not exceed the VaR amounts indicated above
or that such losses will not occur more than once in 100 trading
days.
Non-Trading Risk
The Partnership has non-trading market risk on its foreign cash
balances. These balances and any market risk they may represent
are immaterial.
The Partnership also maintains a substantial portion
(approximately 85% as of December 31, 2004) of its available
assets in cash at Morgan Stanley DW. A decline in short-term
interest rates would result in a decline in the Partnership?s cash
management income. This cash flow risk is not considered to be
material.
Materiality, as used throughout this section, is based on an
assessment of reasonably possible market movements and any
associated potential losses, taking into account the leverage,
optionality, and multiplier features of the Partnership?s market-
sensitive instruments, in relation to the Partnership?s net
assets.
Qualitative Disclosures Regarding Primary Trading Risk Exposures
The following qualitative disclosures regarding the Partnership?s
market risk exposures ? except for (A) those disclosures that are
statements of historical fact and (B) the descriptions of how the
Partnership manages its primary market risk exposures ? constitute
forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of
the Securities Act and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act.
The Partnership?s primary market risk exposures, as well as the
strategies used and to be used by Demeter and the Trading 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, 2004, by market sector. It may be
anticipated, however, that these market exposures will vary
materially over time.
Equity. The primary market exposure of the Partnership at
December 31, 2004 was to equity price risk in the G-7 countries.
The G-7 countries consist of France, the U.S., Britain, Germany,
Japan, Italy, and Canada. The stock index futures traded by the
Partnership are by law limited to futures on broadly-based
indices. At December 31, 2004, the Partnership?s primary
exposures were to the DAX (Germany), NASDAQ (U.S.), S&P 500
(U.S.), and TOPIX (Japan) stock indices. The Partnership is
primarily exposed to the risk of adverse price trends or static
markets in the U.S., European, and Japanese stock indices.
Static markets would not cause major market changes, but would
make it difficult for the Partnership to avoid trendless price
movements, resulting in numerous small losses.
Currency. The second largest market exposure of the Partnership
at December 31, 2004 was to the currency sector. The
Partnership?s currency exposure is 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, 2004, the Partnership?s major exposures were
to the euro, Canadian dollar, Japanese yen, Norwegian krone,
Swiss franc, British pound, Australian dollar, Swedish krona, and
Polish zloty currency crosses, as well as to outright U.S. dollar
positions. Outright positions consist of the U.S. dollar vs.
other currencies. These other currencies include major and minor
currencies. Demeter does not anticipate that the risk associated
with the Partnership?s currency trades will change significantly
in the future.
Interest Rate. The third largest market exposure of the
Partnership at December 31, 2004 was to the global interest rate
sector. Exposure was primarily spread across the European,
Japanese, U.S., and Canadian 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 primary interest rate exposure
is generally to interest rate fluctuations in the U.S. and the
other G-7 countries. Demeter anticipates that the G-7 countries
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.
Commodity.
Metals. At December 31, 2004, the Partnership had market
exposure in the metals sector. The Partnership?s metals
exposure at December 31, 2004 was to fluctuations in the
price of precious metals, such as gold, silver, and
platinum, and base metals, such as copper, aluminum, lead,
zinc, nickel, and tin. Economic forces, supply and demand
inequalities, geopolitical factors, and market expectations
influence price movements in these markets. The Trading
Advisor utilizes the trading system(s) to take positions
when market opportunities develop, and Demeter anticipates
that the Partnership will continue to do so.
Energy. At December 31, 2004, the Partnership had market
exposure in the energy sector. The Partnership?s energy
exposure was primarily to futures contracts in crude oil and
its related products, and natural gas. Price movements in
these markets result from geopolitical developments,
particularly in the Middle East, as well as 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, 2004,
the Partnership had market exposure to the markets that
comprise these sectors. Most of the exposure was to the
corn, wheat, and cotton markets. Supply and demand
inequalities, severe weather disruptions, and market
expectations affect price movements in these markets.
Qualitative Disclosures Regarding Non-Trading Risk Exposure
The following was the only non-trading risk exposure of the
Partnership at December 31, 2004:
Foreign Currency Balances. The Partnership?s primary
foreign currency balances at December 31, 2004 were in
euros, Hong Kong dollars, British pounds, Japanese yen, and
Australian dollars. The Partnership controls the non-trading
risk of foreign currency 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
by 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.

Item 9A. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
(a) As of the end of the period covered by this annual report,
the President and Chief Financial Officer of Demeter, the
general partner of the Partnership, have evaluated the
effectiveness of the Partnership?s disclosure controls and
procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of
the Exchange Act), and have judged such controls and
procedures to be effective.
(b) There have been no material changes during the period covered
by this annual report in the Partnership?s internal controls
or in other factors that could significantly affect these
controls subsequent to the date of their evaluation.
Management?s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
Demeter is responsible for the management of the Partnership.
Management of Demeter (?Management?) is responsible for
establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over
financial reporting. The internal control over financial
reporting is designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding
the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of
financial statements for external purposes in accordance with
generally accepted accounting principles.
The Partnership?s internal control over financial reporting
includes those policies and procedures that:
* Pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable
detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and
dispositions of the assets of the Partnership;
* Provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded
as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and
that the Partnership?s transactions are being made only in
accordance with authorizations of Management and
directors; and
* Provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely
detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of
the Partnership?s assets that could have a material effect on
the financial statements.
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over
financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements.
Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future
periods are subject to the risk that controls may become
inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree
of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
Management assessed the effectiveness of the Partnership?s
internal control over financial reporting as of December 31,
2004. In making this assessment, Management used the criteria
set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the
Treadway Commission in Internal Control-Integrated Framework.
Based on our assessment and those criteria, Management believes
that the Partnership maintained effective internal control over
financial reporting as of December 31, 2004.
Deloitte & Touche LLP, the Partnership?s independent registered
public accounting firm, has issued an audit report on Management?s
assessment of the Partnership?s internal control over financial
reporting and on the effectiveness of the Partnership?s
internal control over financial reporting. This report, which
expresses unqualified opinions on Management?s assessment and on
the effectiveness of the Partnership?s internal control over
financial reporting, appears under ?Report of Independent
Registered Public Accounting Firm? in the Partnership?s Annual
Report to Limited Partners for the year ended December 31, 2004.
Item 9B. OTHER INFORMATION
The Board of Directors of Demeter, the general partner of the
registrant, approved the engagement of Ernst & Young LLP as the
registrant?s principal accountant for tax purposes. Ernst & Young
LLP was engaged by the registrant on November 1, 2004. Deloitte &
Touche LLP will continue as the registrant?s principal accountant
and audit the financial statements of the registrant.
There have been no material disagreements with Deloitte & Touche
LLP on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial
statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure.

FACTORS INFLUENCING ANNUAL TRADING GAINS:
.. The most significant gains were generated in the global interest rate
markets, primarily during February, March, and August, from long positions
in European and U.S. interest rate futures as prices moved higher on
speculation about European and U.S. interest rate policy, uncertainty in the
global equity markets, "safe-haven" buying amid major geopolitical concerns,
and surging energy prices. Further gains from long positions in European
interest rates were recorded in the fourth quarter as prices continued to
trend higher for the aforementioned reasons, in addition to the rise in the
value of the euro, which created strong demand for euro-denominated
investments.
.. Additional gains were experienced in the currency markets during January,
February, September, October, and November from long positions in the New
Zealand and Canadian dollar versus the U.S. dollar as the value of these
"commodity currencies" strengthened due to higher gold prices and interest
rate hikes by the Reserve Bank of New Zealand and the Bank of Canada. The
widening U.S. Current-Account deficit, concerns for potential terrorist
attacks, and rising oil prices also pulled the value of the U.S. dollar
lower versus these currencies, as well as against the British pound. The
value of the British pound was bolstered during January, February, and
November by looming expectations for further increases in U.K. interest
rates by the
CHARTER CAMPBELL
Bank of England. Elsewhere in the currency markets, gains were accumulated
during January and February from short positions in the Swiss franc relative
to the U.S. dollar as the value of the franc moved lower due to conflicting
economic data out of Switzerland. Long positions in the Swiss franc relative
to the U.S. dollar resulted in additional gains in November as the value of
the U.S. dollar declined due to investor perceptions that the Bush
administration was unlikely to intervene in the currency markets to
strengthen the U.S. dollar.
.. Smaller gains were recorded in the energy markets, primarily during
February, April, and May, from long futures positions in crude oil and its
related products as prices trended higher amid fears of potential terrorist
attacks on Saudi Arabian oil facilities, disruptions in Iraqi oil
production, falling inventory levels, and uncertainty regarding production
levels from OPEC.
FACTORS INFLUENCING ANNUAL TRADING LOSSES:
.. Losses were incurred in the global stock index markets, primarily during
March, from long European stock index futures positions as equity prices
dropped due to terror attacks in Madrid, worse-than-expected German
industrial production, and weak business confidence data. Further losses
were recorded during July from long positions in European equity index
futures as prices reversed lower early in the month due to the release of
disappointing U.S. employment data, surging energy prices, and government
warnings concerning potential terrorist attacks. During September, losses
continued from long positions in European equity index futures as rising
energy prices, conflicting economic data, and weak corporate earnings data
pulled prices lower. Elsewhere in the global stock index futures markets,
losses were recorded from positions in Japanese equity index futures during
May, October, and November as prices moved without consistent direction amid
conflicting economic data regarding a Japanese economic recovery and
volatility in the energy markets.
.. Smaller losses were incurred in the metals markets from both long and short
positions in nickel futures as prices moved erratically throughout most of
the year amid conflicting news regarding supply and demand and volatility in
the U.S. dollar.

.. Gains were experienced in the global interest rate futures markets from long
positions in European interest rate futures during February, March, August,
and September as prices trended higher on uncertainty in the global equity
markets, disappointing economic data, "safe-haven" buying amid major
geopolitical concerns, and a surge in oil prices. Further gains from long
positions in European interest rate futures were recorded in the fourth
quarter as prices continued to trend higher for the aforementioned reasons,
in addition to the rise in the value of the euro, which created strong
demand for euro-denominated investments.
.. Additional gains were experienced in the energy markets. During February,
May, July, September, and October, long positions in crude oil profited as
prices trended higher due to consistent news of tight supply, continuing
geopolitical concerns in the Middle East, concerns that top Russian oil
producer, Yukos, may break up or stop selling oil, major production
disruptions in the Gulf of Mexico, growing civil unrest in Nigeria, and the
threat of a national strike in Norway. In December, smaller gains in the
energy markets resulted from newly established short positions in crude oil
as prices declined on news of a full recovery in production within the Gulf
of Mexico, increased output from OPEC, warmer weather in the U.S., and
reports of abundant supply.
.. Smaller gains were recorded in the global stock index futures markets,
primarily during December, from long positions in
CHARTER MSFCM
Australian equity index futures as prices moved higher on positive investor
sentiment and speculation that interest rates in that country would remain at
current levels throughout 2005. Elsewhere in the global stock index markets,
gains were recorded during December from long positions in Hang Seng stock
index futures as equity prices in Hong Kong moved higher due to strong
earnings from the technology sector and optimism that the Japanese economy
was finally in full recovery and may, thereby, boost the entire Asian region.
FACTORS INFLUENCING ANNUAL TRADING LOSSES:
.. In the currency markets, losses were recorded from positions in the Japanese
yen versus the U.S. dollar. These losses were experienced primarily during
the first and second quarter from both long and short positions in the yen
relative to the U.S. dollar as the value of the yen experienced significant
short-term price volatility. Conflicting economic data regarding a Japanese
economic recovery, uncertainty regarding currency market interventions by
the Bank of Japan, geopolitical concerns stemming from instability in Iraq,
and uncertainty regarding the direction of U.S. and Japanese interest rates
contributed to the yen's trendless movement. Losses were also recorded from
positions in the Singapore dollar against the U.S. dollar as the value of
the Singapore dollar experienced significant "whipsawing" during the first
and second quarter in tandem with the value of the Japanese yen. The price
volatility in the Japanese yen also resulted in losses from cross-rate
positions in the euro versus the Japanese yen for the aforementioned
reasons. In the third quarter, volatility in the euro was responsible for
losses in euro/Japanese yen cross-rate positions as the value of the euro
moved in a trendless pattern throughout the quarter due to higher energy
prices and uncertainty about the direction of the European economy. Finally,
losses were recorded from long positions in the British pound relative to
the euro, primarily during December, as the value of the pound reversed
lower following news that the Bank of England was considering an interest
rate cut and the release of weaker-than-expected British economic data.
.. In the metals markets, losses were incurred, primarily during April and
December, from long futures positions in gold as prices weakened due to
strength in the U.S. dollar and stronger-than-expected economic data as
demand for the "safe-haven" asset was reduced. Elsewhere in the metals
markets, losses were recorded, primarily during July and September, from
short positions in nickel futures as base metals prices increased on
continued demand from China and reports of lower-than-expected inventories.
Smaller losses were experienced during December from both long and short
positions in nickel futures as prices moved without consistent direction due
to volatility in the currency markets and conflicting news regarding supply
and demand.

FACTORS INFLUENCING ANNUAL TRADING GAINS:
.. The most significant gains were recorded in the energy markets. During much
of the year, long positions in crude oil and its related products behaved
well as prices trended higher due to consistent news of tight supply,
continuing geopolitical concerns in the Middle East, concerns that top
Russian oil producer, Yukos, may break up or stop selling oil, major
production disruptions in the Gulf of Mexico, growing civil unrest in
Nigeria, and the threat of a national strike in Norway.

from long positions in European interest rates were recorded in the fourth

in addition to the rise in the value of the euro, which created strong
demand for euro-denominated investments.
CHARTER GRAHAM
.. In the agricultural markets, gains were recorded during January, March, and
June from long positions in corn futures as prices increased on news of
strong demand from Asia. Further gains were experienced during July and
August from short positions in corn futures as prices weakened due to ideal
weather conditions in the growing regions of the U.S. Midwest, reports of
increased inventories, and weaker export demand. Elsewhere in this complex,
gains were recorded from short positions in cotton futures, primarily during
March, April, June, and July, as prices trended lower amid rising supplies
and news of a consistent decline in demand from China.
.. In the currency markets, relatively smaller gains were experienced during
January, February, September, October, and November from long positions in
the New Zealand dollar, Canadian dollar and Australian dollar versus the
U.S. dollar as the value of these "commodity currencies" strengthened due to
higher gold prices and interest rate hikes by the Reserve Bank of New
Zealand and the Bank of Canada. The widening U.S. Current-Account deficit,
concerns for potential terrorist attacks, and rising oil prices also pulled
the value of the U.S. dollar lower versus these currencies, as well as
versus the euro throughout much of the year, resulting in further gains.
Elsewhere in the currency markets, gains were experienced during January and
February from short positions in the Swiss franc relative to the U.S. dollar
as the value of the franc moved lower due to conflicting economic data out
of Switzerland. Long positions in the Swiss franc relative to the U.S.
dollar resulted in additional gains in November as the value of the U.S.
dollar declined when investors concluded that the Bush administration was
unlikely to intervene in the currency markets to strengthen the U.S. dollar.
.. Relatively smaller gains were generated in the metals markets, primarily
during the first and fourth quarter, from long futures positions in copper
and aluminum as prices trended higher in response to greater demand from
Asia driven by a declining U.S. dollar.
FACTORS INFLUENCING ANNUAL TRADING LOSSES:
.. Losses were incurred in the global stock index futures markets during March,
May, July, August, and September from positions in European equity index
futures as prices moved without consistent direction due to conflicting
economic data, volatility in energy prices, and significant geopolitical
concerns. Additional losses were incurred from positions in U.S. equity
index futures, particularly the Russell 2000 Index, as prices moved in a
trendless pattern for the aforementioned reasons.

.. In the currency markets, losses were experienced from positions in the
Japanese yen versus the U.S. dollar. These losses were experienced
throughout the year from both long and short positions in the yen relative
to the U.S. dollar and the euro as the value of the yen experienced
significant short-term price volatility due to conflicting economic data
regarding a Japanese economic recovery, uncertainty regarding currency
market interventions by the Bank of Japan, geopolitical concerns stemming
from terror warnings and instability in Iraq, and speculation regarding the
direction of U.S. and Japanese interest rates. Losses were also recorded
from positions in the Singapore dollar against the U.S. dollar, primarily

quarter, as well as during July and August, as the value of the euro also
moved in a trendless pattern due to conflicting economic data and volatility
in oil prices.
.. Within the global stock index markets, losses were incurred during April,
May, and July from long positions in European equity index futures as prices
drifted lower amid the continuing instability in Iraq, fears of global
terrorism, and concerns of higher interest rates. Additional losses were
CHARTER MILLBURN
recorded from positions in Pacific Rim equity index futures as prices moved
without consistent direction for the aforementioned reasons, in addition to
inconsistent earnings in the technology sector, conflicting news regarding a
full recovery for Japan's economy, and volatility in the energy markets.
.. Smaller losses were experienced in the metals markets from long futures
positions in gold as precious metals prices weakened due to the sudden
strength in the U.S. dollar during April.
FACTORS INFLUENCING ANNUAL TRADING GAINS:
.. Gains were experienced in global interest rate futures markets from long
positions in European interest rate futures during February, March, August,

.. Additional gains were experienced in the energy markets. Long positions in
crude oil and its related products profited as prices trended higher
throughout a majority of the year due to consistent news of tight supply,
continuing geopolitical concerns in the Middle East, concerns that top
Russian oil producer, Yukos, may break up or stop selling oil, major
production disruptions in the Gulf of Mexico, growing civil unrest in
Nigeria, and the threat of a national strike in Norway.
.. Smaller gains were generated in the agricultural markets during March from
long positions in corn futures as prices increased on news of strong demand
from Asia. Further gains were experienced during July and August from short
positions in corn futures as prices weakened due to ideal weather conditions
in the growing regions of the U.S. Midwest, reports of increased
inventories, and weaker export demand.
MORGAN STANLEY CHARTER SERIES
MANAGEMENT'S REPORT ON INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING
Demeter Management Corporation ("Demeter"), the general partner of Morgan
Stanley Charter Campbell L.P., Morgan Stanley Charter MSFCM L.P., Morgan
Stanley Charter Graham L.P., and Morgan Stanley Charter Millburn L.P.
(collectively, the "Partnerships"), is responsible for the management of the
Partnerships.
Management of Demeter ("Management") is responsible for establishing and
maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting. The internal
control over financial reporting is designed to provide reasonable assurance
regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of
financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally
accepted accounting principles.
The Partnerships' internal control over financial reporting includes those
policies and procedures that:
.. Pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately
and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the
Partnerships;
.. Provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to
permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally
accepted accounting principles, and that the Partnerships' transactions are
being made only in accordance with authorizations of Management and
directors; and
.. Provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of
unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of the Partnerships' assets
that could have a material effect on the financial statements.
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial
reporting may not prevent or detect misstate-ments. Also, projections of any
evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that
controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the
degree of compliance with the policies or proce-dures may deteriorate.
Management assessed the effectiveness of each Partnership's internal control
over financial reporting as of December 31, 2004. In making this assessment,
Management used the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring
Organizations of the Treadway Commission in Internal Control--Integrated
Framework. Based on our assessment and those criteria, Management believes that
each Partnership maintained effective internal control over financial reporting
as of December 31, 2004.
Deloitte & Touche LLP, the Partnerships' independent registered public
accounting firm, has issued an audit report on Management's assessment of the
Partnerships' internal control over financial reporting and on the
effectiveness of the Partnerships' internal control over financial reporting.
This report, which expresses unqualified opinions on Management's assessment
and on the effectiveness of the Partnerships' internal control over financial
reporting, appears under "Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting
Firm" on the following page.

MORGAN STANLEY CHARTER SERIES
REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Limited Partners and the General Partner of Morgan Stanley Charter
Campbell L.P., Morgan Stanley Charter MSFCM L.P., Morgan Stanley Charter Graham
L.P., and Morgan Stanley Charter Millburn L.P.:
We have audited management's assessment, included in the accompanying
Management's Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting, that Morgan
Stanley Charter Campbell L.P., Morgan Stanley Charter MSFCM L.P., Morgan
Stanley Charter Graham L.P. and Morgan Stanley Charter Millburn L.P.
(collectively, the "Partnerships") maintained effective internal control over
financial reporting as of December 31, 2004, based on criteria established in
Internal Control--Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring
Organizations of the Treadway Commission. The Partnerships' management is
responsible for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting
and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial
reporting. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on management's
assessment and an opinion on the effectiveness of the Partnerships' internal
control over financial reporting based on our audit.
We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company
Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we
plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether
effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all
material respects. Our audit included obtaining an understanding of internal
control over financial reporting, evaluating management's assessment, testing
and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control, and
performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the
circumstances. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our
opinions.
A company's internal control over financial reporting is a process designed
by, or under the supervision of, the company's principal executive and
principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, and
effected by the company's board of directors, management, and other personnel
to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial
reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company's internal
control over financial reporting includes those
policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in
reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and
dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance
that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial
statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and
that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance
with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide
reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized
acquisition, use, or disposition of the company's assets that could have a
material effect on the financial statements.
Because of the inherent limitations of internal control over financial
reporting, including the possibility of collusion or improper management
override of controls, material misstatements due to error or fraud may not be
prevented or detected on a timely basis. Also, projections of any evaluation of
the effectiveness of the internal control over financial reporting to future
periods are subject to the risk that the controls may become inadequate because
of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or
procedures may deteriorate.
In our opinion, management's assessment that the Partnerships maintained
effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2004, is
fairly stated, in all material respects, based on the criteria established in
Internal Control--Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring
Organizations of the Treadway Commission. Also in our opinion, the Partnerships
maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial
reporting as of December 31, 2004, based on the criteria established in
Internal Control--Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring
Organizations of the Treadway Commission.
We have also audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company
Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the financial statements as of and
for the year ended December 31, 2004 of the Partnerships and our report dated
March 11, 2005 expressed an unqualified opinion on those financial statements.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Limited Partners and the General Partner of Morgan Stanley Charter
Campbell L.P., Morgan Stanley Charter MSFCM L.P., Morgan Stanley Charter Graham
L.P., and Morgan Stanley Charter Millburn L.P. :
We have audited the accompanying statements of financial condition of Morgan
Stanley Charter Campbell L.P., Morgan Stanley Charter MSFCM L.P., Morgan
Stanley Charter Graham L.P. and Morgan Stanley Charter Millburn L.P.
(collectively, the "Partnerships"), including the schedules of investments, as
of December 31, 2004 and 2003, and the related statements of operations,
changes in partners' capital, and cash flows for each of the three years in the
period ended December 31, 2004 for Morgan Stanley Charter MSFCM L.P., Morgan
Stanley Charter Graham L.P., and Morgan Stanley Charter Millburn L.P., and for
the years ended December 31, 2004 and 2003 and the period from October 1, 2002
(commencement of operations) to December 31, 2002 for Morgan Stanley Charter
Campbell L.P. These financial statements are the responsibility of the
Partnerships' management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these
financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public
Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require
that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether
the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes
examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in
the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting
principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as
evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our
audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, such financial statements present fairly, in all material
respects, the financial position of Morgan Stanley Charter Campbell L.P.,
Morgan Stanley Charter MSFCM L.P., Morgan Stanley Charter Graham L.P., and
Morgan Stanley Charter Millburn L.P. at December 31,
2004 and 2003, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for
each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2004 for Morgan
Stanley Charter MSFCM L.P., Morgan Stanley Charter Graham L.P., and Morgan
Stanley Charter Millburn L.P., and for the years ended December 31, 2004 and
2003 and the period from October 1, 2002 (commencement of operations) to
December 31, 2002 for Morgan Stanley Charter Campbell L.P. in conformity with
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
We have also audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company
Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the effectiveness of the
Partnerships' internal control over financial reporting as of December 31,
2004, based on the criteria established in Internal Control--Integrated
Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway
Commission and our report dated March 11, 2005 expressed an unqualified opinion
on management's assessment of the effectiveness of the Partnerships' internal
control over financial reporting and an unqualified opinion on the
effectiveness of the Partnerships' internal control over financial reporting.

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"), and Morgan Stanley Charter Millburn L.P.
("Charter Millburn") (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, but not limited to, 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.
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.
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
MORGAN STANLEY CHARTER SERIES
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(continued)
preparation of the financial statements are prudent and reasonable. Actual
results could differ from those estimates.
REVENUE RECOGNITION. Futures Interests are open commitments until settlement
date, at which time they are realized. They are valued at market on a daily
basis and the resulting net change in unrealized gains and losses is reflected
in the change in unrealized trading profit (loss) on open contracts from one
period to the next on the Statements of Operations. 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. 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 of limited partnership
interest ("Unit(s)") is computed using the weighted average number of Units
outstanding during the period.
CONDENSED SCHEDULES OF INVESTMENTS. In December 2003, the American Institute
of Certified Public Accountants' Accounting Standards Executive Committee
issued Statement of Position 03-4 ("SOP 03-4") "Reporting Financial Highlights
and Schedule of Investments by Nonregistered Investment Partnerships: An
Amendment to the Audit and Accounting Guide Audits Of Investment Companies and
AICPA Statement of Position 95-2, Financial Reporting By Nonpublic Investment
Partnerships". SOP 03-4 requires commodity pools to disclose the number of
contracts, the contracts' expiration dates, and the cumulative unrealized
gains/(losses) on open futures contracts, when the cumulative unrealized
gains/(losses) on an open futures contract exceeds 5% of Net Assets, taking
long and short positions into account separately. SOP 03-4 also requires ratios
for net investment
MORGAN STANLEY CHARTER SERIES
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(continued)
income/(losses), expenses before and after incentive fees, and net
income/(losses) based on average net assets, and ratios for total return before
and after incentive fees based on average units outstanding to be disclosed in
Financial Highlights. SOP 03-4 was effective for fiscal years ending after
December 15, 2003.
EQUITY IN FUTURES INTERESTS TRADING ACCOUNTS. The Partnerships' asset "Equity
in futures interests trading accounts", reflected on the Statements of
Financial Condition, consists of (A) cash on deposit with Morgan Stanley DW,
MS&Co., and MSIL 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 the terms of
their master netting agreements with MS&Co., the sole counterparty on such
contracts. The Partnerships have consistently applied their right to offset.
BROKERAGE AND RELATED TRANSACTION FEES AND COSTS. Each Partnership pays a
flat-rate monthly brokerage fee of 1/12 of 6.25% of the Partnership's Net
Assets as of the first day of each month (a 6.25% annual rate). Such fees
currently cover all brokerage commissions, transaction fees and costs, and
ordinary administrative and offering expenses.
From May 1, 2002 to July 31, 2002, each Partnership paid 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).
From inception to April 30, 2002, each Partnership paid a flat-rate monthly
brokerage fee of 1/12 of 7% of
MORGAN STANLEY CHARTER SERIES
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(continued)
the Partnership's Net Assets as of the first day of each month (a 7% annual
rate).
OPERATING EXPENSES. The Partnerships incur monthly management fees and may
incur incentive fees. All common administrative and continuing offering
expenses including legal, auditing, accounting, filing fees, and other related
expenses are borne by 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. Demeter does not intend to make any distributions of the
Partnerships' profits.
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 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 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.
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
MORGAN STANLEY CHARTER SERIES
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(continued)
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
exchange their investment among the Partnerships (subject to certain
restrictions outlined in the Limited Partnership Agreements) without paying
additional charges.
DISSOLUTION OF THE PARTNERSHIPS. 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
Litigation Settlement Administrator, and Charter MSFCM received settlement
award payments in the amount of $292,406 during August 2002 and $2,880 during
July 2004. Any amounts received are accounted for in the period received, for
the benefit of the limited partners at the date of receipt.
RECLASSIFICATIONS. Certain reclassifications have been made to the prior
years' financial statements to conform to the current year presentation. Such
reclassifications have no impact on the Partnerships' reported net income
(loss).
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
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
MORGAN STANLEY CHARTER SERIES
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(continued)
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.
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
3. TRADING ADVISORS
Demeter, on behalf of each Partnership, retains certain commodity trading
advisors to make all trading decisions for the Partnerships. The trading
advisors for each Partnership at December 31, 2004 were as follows:
Morgan Stanley Charter Campbell L.P.
Campbell & Company, Inc.
Morgan Stanley Charter MSFCM L.P.
Morgan Stanley Futures & Currency Management Inc.
Morgan Stanley Charter Graham L.P.
Graham Capital Management, L.P.
Morgan Stanley Charter Millburn L.P.
Millburn Ridgefield Corporation
Compensation to the trading advisors by the Partnerships consists of a
management fee and an incentive fee as follows:
MANAGEMENT FEE. Charter MSFCM, Charter Graham, and Charter Millburn each pay
its trading advisor a flat-rate monthly fee equal to 1/12 of 2% (a 2% annual
rate) of the Partnership's Net Assets under management by each trading advisor
as of the first day of each month.
Charter Campbell pays its trading advisor a flat-rate monthly fee equal to
1/12 of 2.65% (a 2.65% annual rate) of the Partnership's Net Assets under
management as of the first day of each month. Prior to August 1, 2003, Charter
Campbell paid a flat-rate monthly fee equal to 1/12 of 2.75% (a 2.75% annual
rate) of the Partnership's Net Assets under management as of the first day of
each month.
INCENTIVE FEE. Each Partnership's incentive fee is equal to 20% of trading
profits, paid on a quarterly
MORGAN STANLEY CHARTER SERIES
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(continued)
basis for Charter MSFCM, and paid on a monthly basis for Charter Campbell,
Charter Graham, and Charter Millburn.
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 Interests. Futures and forwards represent
contracts for delayed delivery of an instrument at a specified date and price.
Risk arises from changes in the value of these contracts and the potential
inability of counterparties to perform under the terms of the contracts. There
are numerous factors which may significantly influence the market value of
these contracts, including interest rate volatility.
The market value of exchange-traded contracts is based on the settlement
price quoted by the exchange on the day with respect to which market value is
being determined. If an exchange-traded contract could not have been liquidated
on such day due to the operation of daily limits or other rules of the
exchange, the settlement price shall be the settlement price on the first
subsequent day on which the contract could be liquidated. The market value of
off-exchange-traded contracts is based on the fair market value quoted by the
counterparty.
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 Standards No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and
Hedging Activities" ("SFAS No. 133"). SFAS No. 133 defines a derivative as a
financial instrument or other contract that has all three of the following
characteristics:
MORGAN STANLEY CHARTER SERIES
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(continued)
(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 trade 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, forward,
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, forward, 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,
forward, and futures-styled options contracts, including an amount equal to the
net unrealized gains (losses) on all open futures, forward and futures-styled
options contracts, which funds, in the aggregate, totaled $270,748,488 and
$99,731,757 for Charter Campbell, $219,055,260 and $167,619,490 for Charter
MSFCM, $477,195,064 and $262,106,808 for Charter Graham, and $60,797,909 and
$61,797,606 for Charter Millburn at December 31, 2004 and 2003, respectively.
With respect to each Partnership's off-exchange-traded forward currency
contracts, there are no daily exchange-required settlements of variation in
value, nor is there any requirement that an amount equal to the net unrealized
gains (losses) on open forward contracts be segregated. However, each
Partnership is required to meet margin requirements equal to the net unrealized
MORGAN STANLEY CHARTER SERIES
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(continued)
loss on open contracts in the Partnership accounts with the counterparty, which
is accomplished by daily maintenance of the cash balance in a custody account
held at Morgan Stanley DW for the benefit of MS&Co. With respect to those
off-exchange-traded forward currency contracts, the Partnerships are at risk to
the ability of MS&Co., the sole counterparty on all such contracts, to perform.
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.
