Management's Report on Internal Control Over
Financial Reporting
Ceres Managed Futures LLC ("Ceres"), the general partner of Morgan Stanley
Smith Barney Charter Campbell L.P., Morgan Stanley Smith Barney Charter Aspect
L.P., and Morgan Stanley Smith Barney Charter WNT L.P. (collectively, the
"Partnerships"), is responsible for the management of the Partnerships.
Management of the Partnerships, Ceres ("Management"), is responsible for
establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting
as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Securities Exchange Act
of 1934, as amended, and for the assessment of internal control over financial
reporting. The Partnerships' internal control over financial reporting is a
process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of
financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external
purposes in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the
United States of America. The Partnerships' internal control over financial
reporting includes those policies and procedures that:
(i) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail,
accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets
of the Partnerships;
(ii) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as
necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, and
that receipts and expenditures of the Partnerships are being made only in
accordance with authorizations of Management and the directors of Ceres; and
(iii) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection
and correction 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 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 has assessed the effectiveness of the Partnerships' internal
control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2014. In making this
assessment, Management used the criteria set forth in the Internal
Control-Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring
Organizations of the Treadway Commission. Based on its assessment, Management
concluded that the Partnerships maintained effective internal control over
financial reporting as of December 31, 2014, based on the criteria referred to
above.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Limited Partners and the General Partner of Morgan Stanley Smith Barney
Charter Campbell L.P., Morgan Stanley Smith Barney Charter Aspect L.P., and
Morgan Stanley Smith Barney Charter WNT L.P.:
We have audited the accompanying statements of financial condition of Morgan
Stanley Smith Barney Charter Campbell L.P., Morgan Stanley Smith Barney Charter
Aspect L.P., and Morgan Stanley Smith Barney Charter WNT L.P. (collectively,
the "Partnerships"), including the condensed schedules of investments, as of
December 31, 2014 and 2013, and the related statements of income and expenses
and changes in partners' capital for each of the three years in the period
ended December 31, 2014. 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. The Partnerships are
not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of their
internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of
internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit
procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose
of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Partnerships' internal
control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An
audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts
and disclosures in the financial statements, 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 Smith Barney Charter
Campbell L.P., Morgan Stanley Smith Barney Charter Aspect L.P., and Morgan
Stanley Smith Barney Charter WNT L.P. as of December 31, 2014 and 2013, and the
results of their operations and changes in their partners' capital for each of
the three years in the period ended December 31, 2014, in conformity with
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

1. Organization
Morgan Stanley Smith Barney Charter Campbell L.P. ("Charter Campbell"),
Morgan Stanley Smith Barney Charter Aspect L.P. ("Charter Aspect"), and Morgan
Stanley Smith Barney Charter WNT L.P. ("Charter WNT") (individually, a
"Partnership", or collectively, the "Partnerships") are limited partnerships
organized to engage primarily in the speculative trading of futures contracts,
options on futures and forward 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") (refer to Note 5. Financial
Instruments).
Ceres Managed Futures LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, acts as the
general partner ("Ceres" or the "General Partner") and commodity pool operator
of the Partnerships. Ceres is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Morgan Stanley Smith
Barney Holdings LLC ("MSSBH"). MSSBH is wholly-owned indirectly by Morgan
Stanley. Prior to June 28, 2013, Citigroup Inc. was the indirect minority owner
of MSSBH. Morgan Stanley Smith Barney LLC is doing business as Morgan Stanley
Wealth Management ("Morgan Stanley Wealth Management"). This entity previously
acted as a non-clearing commodity broker for the Partnerships. Morgan Stanley
Wealth Management is the principal subsidiary of MSSBH.
The clearing commodity broker is Morgan Stanley & Co. LLC ("MS&Co."). MS&Co.
also acts as the counterparty on all trading of foreign currency forward
contracts. Morgan Stanley Capital Group Inc. ("MSCG") acts as the counterparty
on all trading of options on foreign currency forward contracts. MS&Co. and
MSCG are wholly-owned subsidiaries of Morgan Stanley.
The Partnerships no longer offer units of limited partnership interest
("Unit(s)") for purchase or exchange.
Effective October 1, 2014, the flat rate brokerage fees, equal to an annual
rate of 4.0% of the Partnerships' net assets, were separated into (i) a general
partner administrative fee payable to the General Partner equal to an annual
rate of 2.0% of the Partnerships' net assets, and (ii) an ongoing placement
agent fee payable to Morgan Stanley Wealth Management equal to an annual rate
of 2.0% of the Partnerships' net assets. The October 1, 2014 fee changes, in
the aggregate, did not exceed the flat rate brokerage fee and, accordingly,
there was no change to the aggregate fees incurred by the Partnerships.
Effective June 1, 2014, the management fee payable by Charter Campbell to
trading advisor was reduced from a monthly management fee rate equal to 1/12th
of 2% (a 2% annual rate) per month of net assets allocated to its trading
advisor on the first day of each month to a monthly management fee rate equal
to 1/12th of 1.5% (a 1.5% annual rate) per month of net assets allocated to its
trading advisor on a first day of each month.
Effective April 1, 2014, the flat rate brokerage fees for the Partnerships
were reduced from 6.0% per annum (paid monthly) to 4.0% per annum (paid
monthly) of the Partnerships' net assets.
Effective June 1, 2012, Aspect Capital Limited ("Aspect") has agreed to
reduce the monthly management fee for Charter Aspect from 1/12th of 2% (a 2%
annual rate) to 1/12th of 1.5% (a 1.5% annual rate) of the net assets as of the
first day of each month.
Effective January 1, 2012, Winton Capital Management Limited ("Winton"), in
consultation with the General Partner, agreed to increase the amount of
leverage applied to the assets of Charter WNT allocated to Winton and traded
pursuant to Winton's Diversified Program to 1.5 times.
Ceres is required to maintain a 1% minimum interest in the equity of each
Partnership and income (losses) are shared by Ceres and the limited partners
based on their proportional ownership interest.
Morgan Stanley Smith Barney Charter Series
Notes to Financial Statements
2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Use of Estimates -- The financial statements are prepared in accordance with
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America
("U.S. GAAP"), 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 and the differences could be material.
Valuation -- Futures Interests are open commitments until the settlement
date, at which time they are realized. They are valued at fair value, generally
on a daily basis, and the unrealized gains and losses on open contracts (the
difference between contract trade price and market price) are reported in the
Statements of Financial Condition as net unrealized gain or loss on open
contracts. The resulting net change in unrealized gains and losses is reflected
in the "Net change in unrealized trading profit (loss)" on open contracts from
one period to the next on the Statements of Income and Expenses. The fair value
of exchange-traded futures, options and forward contracts is determined by the
various futures exchanges, and reflects the settlement price for each contract
as of the close of business on the last business day of the reporting period.
The fair value of foreign currency forward contracts is extrapolated on a
forward basis from the spot prices quoted as of approximately 3:00 P.M. (E.T.)
on the last business day of the reporting period from various exchanges. The
fair value of non-exchange-traded foreign currency option contracts is
calculated by applying an industry standard model application for options
valuation of foreign currency options, using as inputs the spot prices,
interest rates, and option implied volatilities quoted as of approximately
3:00 P.M. (E.T.) on the last business day of the reporting period. The fair
value of an off-exchange-traded contract is based on the fair value quoted by
the counterparty. 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
fair value of these contracts, including interest rate volatility.
The Partnerships may buy or write put and call options through listed
exchanges and the over-the-counter market. The buyer of an option has the right
to purchase (in the case of a call option) or sell (in the case of a put
option) a specified quantity of a specific Futures Interest on the underlying
asset at a specified price prior to or on a specified expiration date. The
writer of an option is exposed to the risk of loss if the fair value of the
Futures Interest on the underlying asset declines (in the case of a put option)
or increases (in the case of a call option). The writer of an option can never
profit by more than the premium paid by the buyer but can potentially lose an
unlimited amount.
Premiums received/premiums paid from writing/purchasing options are recorded
as liabilities/assets on the Statements of Financial Condition. The difference
between the fair value of the option and the premiums received/premiums paid is
treated as an unrealized gain or loss within the Statements of Income and
Expenses.
Revenue Recognition -- Monthly, MS&Co. credits each Partnership with
interest income on 100% of its average daily equity maintained in cash in the
Partnerships' accounts during each month at a rate equal to 80% for Charter
Aspect and Charter Campbell and 100% for Charter WNT of the monthly average of
the 4-week U.S. Treasury bill discount rate. MS&Co. retains any interest earned
in excess of the interest paid by MS&Co. to the Partnerships. For purposes of
such interest payments, net assets do not include monies due to the
Partnerships on forward contracts and other Futures Interests that have not
been received. The Partnerships pay a flat rate brokerage fee to Morgan Stanley
Wealth Management and flat rate administrative fee to General Partner. General
Partner pays or reimburses the Partnerships for all fees and costs charged or
incurred by MS&Co., General Partner and/or their affiliates or any other entity
acting as a commodity broker for the Partnerships.
Morgan Stanley Smith Barney Charter Series
Notes to Financial Statements
Fair Value of Financial Instruments -- The fair value of the Partnerships'
assets and liabilities that qualify as financial instruments under the
Financial Accounting Standards Board (the "FASB") Accounting Standards
Codification ("ASC") guidance relating to financial instruments approximates
the carrying amount presented in the Statements of Financial Condition.
Foreign Currency Transactions and Translation -- The Partnerships'
functional currency is the U.S. dollar; however, the Partnerships may transact
business in currencies other than the U.S. dollar. Assets and liabilities
denominated in currencies other than the U.S. dollar are translated into
U.S. dollars at the rate in effect at the date of the Statements of Financial
Condition. Income and expense items denominated in currencies other than the
U.S. dollar are translated into U.S. dollars at the rate in effect during the
period. The effects of changes in foreign currency exchange rates on
investments are not segregated in the Statements of Income and Expenses from
the changes in market price of those investments, but are included in the net
realized gain/loss and net change in unrealized trading profit (loss) in the
Statements of Income and Expenses.
Net Income (Loss) per Unit -- Net income (loss) per Unit is computed in
accordance with the specialized accounting for investment companies as
illustrated in the Financial Highlights footnote (refer to Note 8. Financial
Highlights).
Trading Equity -- The Partnerships' asset "Trading Equity" reflected on the
Statements of Financial Condition, consists of (a) cash on deposit with MS&Co,
a portion of which is to be used as margin for trading (b) net unrealized gains
or losses on futures and forward contracts, which are fair valued and
calculated as the difference between original contract value and fair value;
and (c) for the Partnerships which trade in options, options purchased at fair
value if any. Options written at fair value, if any, are recorded in
"Liabilities" within the Statements of Financial Condition.
The Partnerships, in their normal course of business, enter into various
contracts with MS&Co. acting as their commodity broker. Pursuant to brokerage
agreements with MS&Co., to the extent that such trading results in unrealized
gains or losses, these amounts are offset for each Partnership and are reported
on a net basis on the Statements of Financial Condition.
The Partnerships have offset their unrealized gains or losses recognized on
forward contracts executed with the same counterparty in the Statements of
Financial Condition as allowable under the terms of their master netting
agreements with MS&Co., as the counterparty on such contracts. The Partnerships
have consistently applied their right to offset.
Restricted and Unrestricted Cash -- As reflected on the Partnerships'
Statements of Financial Condition, restricted cash equals the cash portion of
assets on deposit to meet margin requirements plus the cash required to offset
unrealized losses on foreign currency forward and options contracts and offset
unrealized losses on only the offsetting London Metal Exchange positions. All
of these amounts are maintained separately. Cash that is not classified as
restricted cash is therefore classified as unrestricted cash.
Brokerage and Related Transaction Fees and Costs -- Effective October 1,
2014, each Partnership pays a general partner administrative fee to the General
Partner equal to an annual rate of 2.0% of each Partnership's net assets, and
(ii) an ongoing placement agent fee to Morgan Stanley Wealth Management equal
to an annual rate of 2.0% of each Partnership's net assets. Such fees currently
cover all brokerage fees, transaction fees and costs, and ordinary
administrative expenses.
Effective April 1, 2014, the flat rate brokerage fees for the Partnerships
were reduced from 6.0% per annum (paid monthly) to 4.0% per annum (paid
monthly) of each Partnership's net assets.
Morgan Stanley Smith Barney Charter Series
Notes to Financial Statements
Redemptions -- Limited partners may redeem some or all of their Units at
100% of the net asset value per Unit. The request for redemptions must be
delivered to a limited partner's local Morgan Stanley Branch Office in time for
it to be forwarded and received by Ceres no later than 3:00 p.m., New York City
time, on the last day of the month in which the redemption is to be effective.
Redemptions must be made in whole Units, with a minimum amount of 100 Units
required for each redemption, unless a limited partner is redeeming his entire
interest in a particular Partnership.
Distributions -- Distributions, other than redemptions of Units, are made on
a pro rata basis at the sole discretion of Ceres. No distributions have been
made to date. Ceres does not intend to make any distributions of the
Partnerships' profits.
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 revenue and expenses for income tax purposes. The Partnerships
file U.S. federal and state tax returns.
The guidance issued by the FASB on income taxes, clarifies the accounting
for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in each Partnership's financial
statements, and prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute
for financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or
expected to be taken. The Partnerships have concluded that there were no
significant uncertain tax positions that would require recognition in the
financial statements as of December 31, 2014 and 2013. If applicable, the
Partnerships recognize interest accrued related to unrecognized tax benefits in
interest expense and penalties in other expenses in the Statements of Income
and Expenses. Generally, the 2011 through 2014 tax years remain subject to
examination by U.S. federal and most state tax authorities. No income tax
returns are currently under examination.
Dissolution of the Partnerships -- Charter Aspect will terminate on
December 31, 2025, and Charter Campbell and Charter WNT will terminate on
December 31, 2035, or at an earlier date if certain conditions occur as defined
in each Partnership's Limited Partnership Agreement.
Statement of Cash Flows -- The Partnerships are not required to provide a
Statement of Cash Flows.
Investment Company Status
Effective January 1, 2014, the Partnerships adopted Accounting Standards
Update ("ASU") 2013-08, "Financial Services -- Investments Companies (Topic
946): Amendments to the Scope, Measurement and Disclosure Requirements". ASU
2013-08 changes the approach to the investment company assessment, requires
non-controlling ownership interests in other investment companies to be
measured at fair value, and requires additional disclosures about the
investment company's status as an investment company. ASU 2013-08 is effective
for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2013. The
adoption of this ASU did not have a material impact on the Partnerships'
financial statements. Based on Management's assessment, the Partnerships have
been deemed to be the investment companies since inception.
3. Related Party Transactions
Each Partnership's cash is on deposit in commodity brokerage accounts with
Morgan Stanley. MS&Co. pays interest on these funds as described in Note 2.
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies. Each Partnership pays brokerage and
related transaction fees and costs as described in
Morgan Stanley Smith Barney Charter Series
Notes to Financial Statements
Note 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies. MS&Co. acts as the
counterparty on all trading of foreign currency forward contracts. For Charter
Campbell, MSCG acts as the counterparty on all trading of options on foreign
currency forward contracts.
4. Trading Advisors
Ceres, on behalf of each Partnership, retains certain unaffiliated commodity
trading advisors which are registered with the Commodity Futures Trading
Commission, to make all trading decisions for the Partnerships. The trading
advisors for each Partnership, at December 31, 2014, were as follows:
Morgan Stanley Smith Barney Charter Campbell L.P.
Campbell & Company, Inc.
Morgan Stanley Smith Barney Charter Aspect L.P.
Aspect
Morgan Stanley Smith Barney Charter WNT L.P.
Winton
Compensation to the trading advisors by the Partnerships consists of a
management fee and an incentive fee as follows:
Management Fee -- Charter Aspect pays its trading advisor a flat-rate
monthly fee equal to 1/12th of 1.5% (a 1.5% annual rate) of the Partnership's
net assets under management by the trading advisor as of the first day of each
month. Prior to June 1, 2012, the monthly management fee rate was 1/12th of 2%
(a 2% annual rate).
Charter WNT pays its trading advisor a flat-rate monthly fee equal to 1/12th
of 1.5% (a 1.5% annual rate) of the Partnership's net assets under management
by the trading advisor as of the first day of each month
Charter Campbell pays its trading advisor a flat-rate monthly fee equal to
1/12th of 1.5% (a 1.5% annual rate) of the Partnership's net assets under
management by the trading advisor as of the first day of each month.
Effective June 1, 2014, the management fee payable by Charter Campbell to
trading advisor was reduced from a monthly management fee rate equal to 1/12th
of 2% (a 2% annual rate) per month of net assets allocated to its trading
advisor on the first day of each month to a monthly management fee rate equal
to 1/12th of 1.5% (a 1.5% annual rate) per month of net assets allocated to its
trading advisor on a first day of each month.
Incentive Fee -- Each Partnership's incentive fee is equal to 20% of trading
profits paid on a monthly basis.
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, the trading advisor must recover such
losses before the trading advisor is eligible for an incentive fee in the
future. Cumulative trading losses are adjusted on a pro rated basis for the
amount of each month's net withdrawals.
Morgan Stanley Smith Barney Charter Series
Notes to Financial Statements
5. Financial Instruments
The Partnerships trade Futures Interests. Futures and forwards represent
contracts for delayed delivery of an instrument at a specified date and price.
The fair value of an exchange-traded contract is based on the settlement
price quoted by the exchange on the day with respect to which fair 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 will be equal to the settlement price on the
first subsequent day on which the contract could be liquidated. The fair value
of an off-exchange-traded contract is based on the fair value quoted by the
counterparty.
The Partnerships' contracts are accounted for on a trade-date basis. A
derivative is defined as a financial instrument or other contract that has all
three of the following characteristics:
(1) a) One or more "underlyings" and b) one or more "notional amounts" or
payment provisions or both;
(2) Requires no initial net investment or a smaller initial net
investment than would be required for other types of contracts that would be
expected to have a similar response relative to changes in market
factors; and
(3) Terms that 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, 2014 and
2013, respectively, reported as a component of "Trading Equity" on the
Statements of Financial Condition, and their longest contract maturities were
as follows:

In general, the risks associated with off-exchange-traded contracts are
greater than those associated with exchange-traded contracts because of the
greater risk of default by the counterparty to an off-exchange-traded contract.
The Partnerships have credit risk associated with counterparty nonperformance.
As of the date of the financial statements, the credit risk associated with the
instruments in which the Partnerships trade is limited to the unrealized gains
(losses) amounts reflected in the Partnerships' Statements of Financial
Condition. The net unrealized gains (losses) on open contracts are further
disclosed by type of contract and corresponding fair value level in Note 7.
Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures.
The Partnerships also have credit risk because MS&Co. and/or MSCG act as the
futures commission merchants or the counterparties, with respect to most of the
Partnerships' assets. Exchange-traded futures, exchange-traded forward, and
exchange-traded futures-styled options contracts are fair valued on a daily
basis, with variations in value settled on a daily basis. MS&Co., which is
acting as a commodity futures broker for each Partnership's exchange-traded
futures, exchange-traded forward, and exchange-traded futures-styled options
contracts, is required, pursuant to regulations of the Commodity Futures
Trading Commission, to segregate from its own assets, and for the sole benefit
of its commodity customers, total cash held by it with respect to
exchange-traded futures, exchange-traded forward, and exchange-traded
futures-styled options contracts, including an amount equal to the net
unrealized gains (losses) on all open exchange-traded futures, exchange-traded
forward, and exchange-traded futures-styled options contracts, which in the
aggregate, totaled $25,873,811 and $36,356,986 for Charter Campbell,
$38,457,819 and $46,593,826 for Charter Aspect, and $31,907,877 and $38,407,339
for Charter WNT at December 31, 2014, and 2013, respectively. With respect to
each Partnership's off-exchange-traded forward currency contracts and forward
currency options contracts, there are no daily settlements of variation in
value, nor is there any requirement that an amount equal to the net unrealized
gains (losses) on such contracts be segregated. However, each Partnership is
required to meet margin requirements equal to the net unrealized loss on open
forward currency contracts in each Partnership's account with the counterparty,
which is accomplished by daily maintenance of the cash balance in a custody
account held at MS&Co., 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. The primary terms are
based on industry standard master netting agreements. These agreements, which
seek to reduce both the Partnerships' and MS&Co.'s exposure on
off-exchange-traded forward currency contracts, including options on such
contracts, should materially decrease the Partnerships' credit risk in the
event of MS&Co.'s or MSCG's bankruptcy or insolvency.
The General Partner monitors and attempts to control the Partnerships' risk
exposure on a daily basis through financial, credit and risk management
monitoring systems, and accordingly, believes that it has effective procedures
for evaluating and limiting the credit and market risks to which the
Partnerships may be subject. These monitoring systems generally allow the
General Partner to statistically analyze actual trading results with risk
adjusted performance indicators and correlation statistics. In addition, online
monitoring systems provide account analysis of futures, forwards and options
positions by sector, margin requirements, gain and loss transactions and
collateral positions.
Morgan Stanley Smith Barney Charter Series
Notes to Financial Statements
The futures, forwards and options traded by the Partnerships 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 Partnerships' open positions, and consequently in
their earnings, whether realized or unrealized, and cash flow. Gains and losses
on open positions of exchange-traded futures, exchange-traded forward, and
exchange-traded futures-styled options contracts are settled daily through
variation margin. Gains and losses on off-exchange-traded forward currency
contracts are settled upon termination of the contract. Gains and losses on
off-exchange-traded forward currency options contracts are settled on an
agreed-upon settlement date.
6. Derivatives and Hedging
The Partnerships' objective is to profit from speculative trading in Futures
Interests. Therefore, the trading advisor for each Partnership will take
speculative positions in Futures Interests where it feels the best profit
opportunities exist for its respective trading strategy. As such, the average
number of contracts outstanding in absolute quantities (the total of the open
long and open short positions) has been presented as a part of the volume
disclosure, as position direction is not an indicative factor in such volume
disclosures. With regard to foreign currency forward trades, each notional
quantity amount has been converted to an equivalent contract based upon an
industry convention.
On January 1, 2013, the Partnership adopted ASU 2011-11, "Disclosure about
Offsetting Assets and Liabilities" and ASU 2013-01, "Clarifying the Scope of
Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities". ASU 2011-11 created a new
disclosure requirement about the nature of an entity's rights to setoff and the
related arrangements associated with its financial instruments and derivative
instruments, while ASU 2013-01 clarified the types of instruments and
transactions that are subject to the offsetting disclosure requirements
established by ASU 2011-11. Entities are required to disclose both gross
information and net information about both instruments and transactions
eligible for offset in the statement of financial position and instruments and
transactions subject to an agreement similar to a master netting arrangement.
The objective of these disclosures is to facilitate comparison between those
entities that prepare their financial statements on the basis of U.S. GAAP and
those entities that prepare their financial statements on the basis of
International Financial Reporting Standards. The new guidance did not have a
significant impact on the Partnerships' financial statements.
As of December 31, 2014, approximately 56.95% of Charter Campbell's total
investments are futures contracts which are exchange-traded while approximately
43.05% are forward contracts which are off-exchange traded.
As of December 31, 2014, approximately 67.95% of Charter Aspect's total
investments are futures contracts which are exchange-traded while approximately
32.05% are forward contracts which are off-exchange traded.
As of December 31, 2014, approximately 83.15% of Charter WNT's total
investments are futures contracts which are exchange-traded while approximately
16.85% are forward contracts which are off-exchange traded.

7. Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures
Financial instruments are carried at fair value, which is the price that
would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an
orderly transaction between market participants. Assets and liabilities carried
at fair value are classified and disclosed in the following three levels:
Level 1 -- unadjusted quoted market prices in active markets for identical
assets and liabilities; Level 2 -- inputs other than unadjusted quoted market
prices that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or
indirectly (including unadjusted quoted market prices for similar investments,
interest rates and credit risk); and Level 3 -- unobservable inputs for the
asset or liability (including the Partnerships' own assumptions used in
determining the fair value of investments).
In certain cases, the inputs used to measure fair value may fall into
different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In such cases, an investment's
level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest
Morgan Stanley Smith Barney Charter Series
Notes to Financial Statements
level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The
Partnerships' assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair
value measurement in its entirety requires judgment, and consideration of
factors specific to the investment.
The Partnerships' assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a
recurring basis are summarized in the following tables by the type of inputs
applicable to the fair value measurements.
