Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

The management of Tactical Currency L.P. (formerly, Morgan Stanley Smith Barney Spectrum Currency and Commodity L.P.), Morgan Stanley Smith Barney Spectrum Select L.P., Morgan Stanley Smith Barney Spectrum Strategic L.P. and Morgan Stanley Smith Barney Spectrum Technical L.P. (collectively, the “Partnerships”), Ceres Managed Futures LLC, 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 and for our assessment of internal control over financial reporting. The Partnership’s 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 Partnership’s 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 the Partnerships; 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.

The management of the Partnerships has assessed the effectiveness of the Partnerships’ internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2016. 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 that the Partnerships maintained effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2016, based on the criteria referred to above.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Partners of Ceres Tactical Currency L.P., Morgan Stanley Smith Barney Spectrum Select L.P., Morgan Stanley Smith Barney Spectrum Strategic L.P. and Morgan Stanley Smith Barney Spectrum Technical L.P.:

We have audited the accompanying statements of financial condition of Ceres Tactical Currency L.P. (formerly, Morgan Stanley Smith Barney Spectrum Currency and Commodity L.P.), Morgan Stanley Smith Barney Spectrum Select L.P., Morgan Stanley Smith Barney Spectrum Strategic L.P. and Morgan Stanley Smith Barney Spectrum Technical L.P. (collectively, the “Partnerships”), including the condensed schedules of investments of Morgan Stanley Smith Barney Spectrum Select L.P. and Morgan Stanley Smith Barney Spectrum Technical L.P. and the schedules of investments of Morgan Stanley Smith Barney Spectrum Strategic L.P., as of December 31, 2016 and 2015, 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, 2016. 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 Ceres Tactical Currency L.P., Morgan Stanley Smith Barney Spectrum Select L.P., Morgan Stanley Smith Barney Spectrum Strategic L.P. and Morgan Stanley Smith Barney Spectrum Technical L.P. as of December 31, 2016 and 2015, and the results of their operations and changes in their partners’ capital for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2016, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Notes to Financial Statements

1.	Organization:

Ceres Tactical Currency L.P. (formerly, Morgan Stanley Smith Barney Spectrum Currency and Commodity L.P.) (“Tactical Currency”), Morgan Stanley Smith Barney Spectrum Select L.P. (“Spectrum Select”), Morgan Stanley Smith Barney Spectrum Strategic L.P. (“Spectrum Strategic”) and Morgan Stanley Smith Barney Spectrum Technical L.P. (“Spectrum Technical”) (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”). The General Partner (as defined below) may also determine to invest up to all of the Partnerships’ assets in United States (“U.S.”) Treasury bills and/or money market mutual funds, including money market mutual funds managed by Morgan Stanley or its affiliates. The Partnerships no longer offer units of limited partnership interest (“Unit(s)”) for purchase or exchange.

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. At December 31, 2016, the General Partner was a wholly-owned subsidiary of Morgan Stanley Smith Barney Holdings LLC (“MSSBH”). MSSBH is ultimately owned by Morgan Stanley. Morgan Stanley is a publicly held company whose shares are listed on the New York Stock Exchange. Morgan Stanley is engaged in various financial services and other businesses.

The clearing commodity broker for the Partnerships is Morgan Stanley & Co. LLC (“MS&Co.”). MS&Co. also acts as the counterparty on all trading of foreign currency forward contracts. At December 31, 2016, Morgan Stanley Smith Barney LLC, doing business as Morgan Stanley Wealth Management (“Morgan Stanley Wealth Management”) was a principal subsidiary of MSSBH. MS&Co. and its affiliates act as the custodians of the Partnerships’ assets available for trading in Futures Interests. MS&Co. is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Morgan Stanley. The Partnerships also deposit a portion of their cash in non-trading accounts at JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A.

Ceres is required to maintain a 1% minimum interest in the equity of each Partnership.

In July 2015, the General Partner delegated certain administrative functions to SS&C Technologies, Inc., a Delaware corporation, currently doing business as SS&C GlobeOp (the “Administrator”). Pursuant to a master services agreement, the Administrator furnishes certain administrative, accounting, regulatory reporting, tax and other services as agreed from time to time. In addition, the Administrator maintains certain books and records of the Partnerships. The General Partner pays or reimburses each Partnership, from the General Partner fee it receives from each Partnership, the ordinary administrative expenses of each Partnership. This includes the expenses related to the engagement of the Administrator. Therefore, the engagement of the Administrator did not impact the Partnerships’ respective break-even points.

Notes to Financial Statements

2. Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies:

Use of Estimates. The preparation of financial statements and accompanying notes in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) requires the General Partner to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, income and expenses, and related disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities in the financial statements and accompanying notes. As a result, actual results could differ from these estimates.

Profit Allocation. The General Partner and the limited partners in each Partnership share in the profits and losses of the respective Partnership in proportion to the amount of partnership interest owned by each, except that no limited partner is liable for obligations of the respective Partnership in excess of its capital contributions and profits, if any, net of distributions or redemptions and losses, if any.

Statement of Cash Flows. The Partnerships are not required to provide Statements of Cash Flows.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments. The carrying value of the Partnerships’ assets and liabilities presented in the respective Statements of Financial Condition that qualify as financial instruments under the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 825, “Financial Instruments,” approximates fair value due to the short term nature of such balances.

Partnerships’ Investments. All Futures Interests of the Partnerships, including derivative financial instruments and derivative commodity instruments, are held for trading purposes. The Futures Interests are recorded on trade date and open contracts are recorded at fair value (as described in Note 7, “Fair Value Measurements”) at the measurement date. Investments in Futures Interests denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rates prevailing at the measurement date. Gains or losses are realized when contracts are liquidated and are determined using the first-in, first-out method. Unrealized gains or losses on open contracts are included as a component of equity in trading account in the respective Statements of Financial Condition. Net realized gains or losses and net change in unrealized gains or losses are included in the respective Statements of Income and Expenses.

Restricted and Unrestricted Cash. The cash held by each Partnership available for trading in Futures Interests, if any, is on deposit in commodity brokerage accounts with MS&Co. As reflected in each Partnership’s Statements of Financial Condition, if applicable, and through December 31, 2015, 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 option contracts and offset unrealized losses only on the offsetting London Metal Exchange positions. Starting January 1, 2016, each Partnership’s restricted cash is now equal to the cash portion of assets on deposit to meet margin requirements, as determined by the exchange or counterparty, and required by MS&Co. All of these amounts are maintained separately. At December 31, 2016 and 2015, the amount of cash held for margin requirements was $11,918,100 and $14,906,464 for Spectrum Select and $6,959,456 and $7,078,848 for Spectrum Technical, respectively. Cash that is not classified as restricted cash is therefore classified as unrestricted cash. Restricted and unrestricted cash includes cash denominated in foreign currencies of $(992,914) (proceeds of $1,024,772) and $(924,554) (proceeds of $943,684) for Spectrum Select and $(205,801) (proceeds of $205,128) and $423,964 (cost of $406,027) for Spectrum Technical as of December 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively.

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 respective 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.

Morgan Stanley Spectrum Series

Notes to Financial Statements

Income Taxes. Income taxes have not been listed as each partner is individually liable for the taxes, if any, on its share of the respective Partnership’s income and expenses. The General Partner concluded that no provision for income tax is required in each Partnership’s financial statements. The Partnerships file U.S. federal and various state and local tax returns. No income tax returns are currently under examination. The 2013 through 2016 tax years remain subject to examination by U.S. federal and most state tax authorities. The General Partner does not believe that there are any uncertain tax positions that require recognition of a tax liability.

Revenue Recognition. For excess cash held at MS&Co. which is not invested by the General Partner in U.S. Treasury bills and/or other permitted investments, monthly, MS&Co. pays each Partnership interest income on 100% of the average daily equity maintained in the Partnerships’ accounts during each month at a rate equal to 80% of the monthly average of the 4-week U.S. Treasury bill discount rate. MS&Co. and Ceres retain any interest earned on such uninvested cash in excess of the interest paid to the Partnerships. For purposes of such interest payments, net assets do not include monies due to the Partnerships on Futures Interests that have not been received.

Brokerage and Related Transaction Fees and Costs. Prior to April 1, 2014, the Partnerships each accrued a flat rate brokerage fee that covered all brokerage fees, transaction fees and costs, and ordinary administrative expenses. The brokerage fees for Tactical Currency were accrued at a flat monthly rate of 1/12th of 4.6% (a 4.6% annual rate) of net assets as of the first day of each month. Brokerage fees for Spectrum Select, Spectrum Strategic and Spectrum Technical were accrued at a flat monthly rate of 1/12th of 6.0% (a 6.0% annual rate) of the respective Partnership’s net assets as of the first day of each month.

Effective April 1, 2014, the flat rate brokerage fee for Tactical Currency was reduced from a monthly flat rate of 1/12th of 4.6% (a 4.6% annual rate) to 1/12th of 3.6% (a 3.6% annual rate) of Tactical Currency’s net assets, and the flat rate brokerage fees for Spectrum Select, Spectrum Strategic and Spectrum Technical were reduced from a monthly rate of 1/12th of 6.0% (a 6.0% annual rate) to 1/12th of 4.0% (a 4.0% annual rate) of their respective net assets.

Effective October 1, 2014, the flat rate brokerage fee accrued by Tactical Currency, equal to 1/12 of 3.6% (a 3.6% annual rate) of Tactical Currency’s net assets, was separated into (i) a General Partner administrative fee (the “General Partner fee”) payable to the General Partner equal to an annual rate of 1.6% of Tactical Currency’s net assets and (ii) an ongoing placement agent fee payable to Morgan Stanley Wealth Management equal to an annual rate of 2.0% of Tactical Currency’s net assets. Also effective on October 1, 2014, the flat rate brokerage fees accrued by Spectrum Select, Spectrum Strategic and Spectrum Technical, equal to 1/12th of 4.0% (a 4.0% annual rate) of each such Partnership’s net assets, were separated into (i) a General Partner fee payable to the General Partner equal to 1/12th of 2.0% (a 2.0% annual rate) of the relevant Partnership’s net assets and (ii) an ongoing placement agent fee payable to Morgan Stanley Wealth Management equal to 1/12th of 2.0% (a 2.0% annual rate) of the relevant Partnership’s 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 each Partnership.

The General Partner pays or reimburses the Partnerships for all fees and costs charged or incurred by MS&Co., the General Partner and/or their affiliates or any other entity acting as a commodity broker for the Partnerships.

Spectrum Select’s and Spectrum Technical’s asset “Equity in trading account” reflected in each such Partnership’s 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 on open futures contracts and net unrealized gains on open forward contracts, which are calculated as the difference between the original contract value and fair value and (c) U.S. Treasury bills, at fair value, if any.

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 in each Partnership’s respective Statements of Financial Condition.

The Partnerships have offset their unrealized gains or losses recognized on forward contracts executed with the same counterparty in their respective 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.

Investment Company Status. Effective January 1, 2014, the Partnerships adopted Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2013-08, “Financial Services—Investment Companies (Topic 946): Amendments to the Scope, Measurement and Disclosure Requirements” and based on the General Partner’s assessment, the Partnerships have been deemed to be investment companies since inception. Accordingly, the Partnerships follow the investment company accounting and reporting guidance of Topic 946 and reflect their investments at fair value with unrealized gains and losses resulting from changes in fair value reflected in each Partnership’s respective Statements of Income and Expenses.

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.

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.

Dissolution of the Partnerships. Tactical Currency, Spectrum Strategic and Spectrum Technical will terminate on December 31, 2035 and Spectrum Select will terminate on December 31, 2025, regardless of financial condition at such time, or at an earlier date if certain conditions occur as defined in each Partnership’s limited partnership agreement.

Net Income (Loss) per Unit. Net income (loss) per Unit is calculated in accordance with ASC 946, “Financial Services—Investment Companies.” See Note 8, “Financial Highlights.”

Recent Accounting Pronouncement. In January 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-01, “Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities.” The amendments in this update address certain aspects of recognition, measurement, presentation, and disclosure of financial instruments for all entities that hold financial assets or owe financial liabilities. One of the amendments in this update eliminates the requirement for public business entities to disclose the methods and significant assumptions used to estimate the fair value that is required to be disclosed for financial instruments measured at amortized cost on the balance sheet or a description of changes in the methods and significant assumptions. Additionally, the update eliminates the requirement to disclose the fair value of financial instruments measured at amortized cost for entities that are not public business entities. Investment companies are specifically exempted from ASU 2016-01’s equity investment accounting provisions and will continue to follow the industry specific guidance for investment accounting under Topic 946. For public business entities, this update is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, and interim periods therein. For other entities, it is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019. The General Partner is currently evaluating the impact this guidance will have on each Partnership’s financial statements and related disclosures.

Reclassification. Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to current period presentation. For Spectrum Select and Spectrum Technical, amounts previously presented as net unrealized gain (loss) on open contracts in each such Partnership’s Statements of Financial Condition are now reported as net unrealized appreciation on open futures contracts, net unrealized depreciation on open futures contracts, net unrealized appreciation on open forward contracts and net unrealized depreciation on open forward contracts, as applicable. In addition, for Spectrum Select and Spectrum Technical, amounts previously combined and presented as futures and forward contracts purchased and futures and forward contracts sold on each such Partnership’s Condensed Schedules of Investments are now reported separately as futures contracts purchased, futures contracts sold, unrealized appreciation on open forward contracts and unrealized depreciation on open forward contracts, as applicable.

a.	Tactical Currency’s Investments in Affiliated Underlying Funds

On November 1, 2012, Tactical Currency’s assets allocated to The Cambridge Strategy (Asset Management) Limited (“Cambridge”) for trading were invested in Cambridge Master Fund L.P. (“Cambridge Master Fund”), a limited partnership organized under the partnership laws of the State of Delaware. Cambridge Master Fund was formed to permit accounts managed now and in the future by Cambridge using Cambridge Asian Markets Alpha Programme and, from October 1, 2013, Cambridge Emerging Markets Alpha Programme, to invest together in one trading vehicle. The General Partner is also the general partner of Cambridge Master Fund. Individual and pooled accounts currently managed by Cambridge, including Tactical Currency, are permitted to be limited partners of Cambridge Master Fund. The General Partner and Cambridge believe that trading through this “master/feeder” structure promotes efficiency and economy in the trading process.

Effective December 9, 2014, Cambridge, in consultation with the General Partner, agreed to increase the amount of leverage applied to the assets of Cambridge Master Fund allocated to Cambridge by the General Partner to 2.0 times the assets of the Cambridge Master Fund allocated to Cambridge by the General Partner and traded pursuant to Cambridge’s Asian Markets Alpha Programme and Emerging Markets Alpha Programme.

On January 1, 2012, Tactical Currency’s assets allocated to Krom River Investment Management (Cayman) Limited and Krom River Trading AG (together, and each separately, “Krom River”) for trading were invested in KR Master Fund L.P. (“KR Master Fund”), a limited partnership organized under the partnership laws of the State of Delaware. KR Master Fund was formed in order to permit commodity pools managed now or in the future by Krom River using the Commodity Program at 150% Leverage, a fundamental and technical trading system, to invest together in one trading vehicle.

Effective December 31, 2014, Tactical Currency fully redeemed its investment from KR Master Fund. In addition, Krom River no longer acts as commodity trading advisor to Tactical Currency. Effective on or about January 1, 2015, Tactical Currency reallocated the assets allocated to Krom River to Cambridge.

Tactical Currency carries, and carried, its investment in Cambridge Master Fund and KR Master Fund, respectively, at fair value based on Tactical Currency’s (1) respective net contributions to Cambridge Master Fund and KR Master Fund and (2) its respective allocated share of the undistributed profits and losses, including realized gains or losses and net change in unrealized gains or losses, of Cambridge Master Fund and KR Master Fund. Tactical Currency invests in, and invested in, Cambridge Master Fund and KR Master Fund, respectively, through a “master/feeder” structure. Tactical Currency’s pro-rata share of the results of Cambridge Master Fund’s and KR Master Fund’s trading activities are shown in Tactical Currency’s Statements of Income and Expenses.

The financial statements of Cambridge Master Fund, including its condensed schedules of investments, are included elsewhere in this report and should be read in conjunction with Tactical Currency’s financial statements.

Generally, a limited partner in Cambridge Master Fund may withdraw all or part of its capital contributions and undistributed profits, if any, from Cambridge Master Fund as of the end of any month (the “Redemption Date”) after a request has been made to the General Partner at least three days in advance of the Redemption Date. Such withdrawals are classified as a liability when the limited partner elects to redeem and informs Cambridge Master Fund. However, a limited partner may request a withdrawal as of the end of any day if such request is received by the General Partner at least three days in advance of the proposed withdrawal day.

Notes to Financial Statements

Cambridge Master Fund does not, and KR Master Fund did not, pay any management or incentive fees related to Tactical Currency’s investments. These fees are accrued and paid by Tactical Currency. The General Partner reimburses Cambridge Master Fund and reimbursed KR Master Fund for all brokerage related fees borne by Cambridge Master Fund and KR Master Fund (prior to its termination on December 31, 2014) on behalf of Tactical Currency’s investments.

As of December 31, 2016 and 2015, Tactical Currency owned approximately 16.3% and 22.7% of Cambridge Master Fund, respectively. It is Tactical Currency’s intention to continue to invest in Cambridge Master Fund. The performance of Tactical Currency is directly affected and was directly affected by, the performance of Cambridge Master Fund and (prior to its termination on December 31, 2014) KR Master Fund.

b.	Spectrum Strategic’s Investments in Affiliated Underlying Funds

Effective December 1, 2011, the assets allocated by Spectrum Strategic to Aventis Asset Management, LLC (“Aventis”) and PGR Capital L.P. (“PGR”) for trading were invested in MB Master Fund L.P. (“MB Master Fund”), a limited partnership organized under the partnership laws of the State of Delaware, and PGR Master Fund L.P. (“PGR Master Fund”), a limited partnership organized under the partnership laws of the State of Delaware, respectively. The General Partner is also the general partner of MB Master Fund and PGR Master Fund. Individual and pooled accounts currently managed by Aventis and PGR, including Spectrum Strategic, are permitted to be limited partners of MB Master Fund and PGR Master Fund, respectively. The General Partner, Aventis and PGR believe that trading through these structures should promote efficiency and economy in the trading process. MB Master Fund and PGR Master Fund are collectively referred to as the “Funds.”

Effective January 1, 2008, the assets allocated by Spectrum Strategic to Blenheim Capital Management, LLC (“Blenheim”) for trading were invested in Morgan Stanley Smith Barney BHM I, LLC (“BHM I, LLC”), a limited liability company organized under the limited liability company laws of the State of Delaware. Spectrum Strategic’s investment in BHM I, LLC represented approximately 15.9% of the net asset value of Spectrum Strategic at December 31, 2015. The General Partner was also the managing member of BHM I, LLC.

Effective January 31, 2016, Ceres terminated the advisory agreement among the General Partner, Blenheim and BHM I, LLC pursuant to which Blenheim traded BHM I, LLC’s (and, indirectly, Spectrum Strategic’s) assets in Futures Interests. Consequently, Blenheim ceased all Futures Interest trading on behalf of BHM I, LLC (and, indirectly, Spectrum Strategic). Ceres reallocated the assets formerly allocated by Spectrum Strategic to Blenheim among the remaining Trading Advisors of Spectrum Strategic. References herein to the “Funds” may include, as relevant, BHM I, LLC.

Spectrum Strategic carries (or carried with respect to its investment in BHM I, LLC), its investment in the Funds at fair value based on Spectrum Strategic’s (1) respective net contribution to each Fund and (2) its respective allocated share of the undistributed profits and losses, including realized gains or losses and net change in unrealized gains or losses, of each Fund. ASC 820, “Fair Value Measurement,” as amended, permits, as a practical expedient, Spectrum Strategic to measure the fair value of its investments in the Funds on the basis of the net asset value per share (or its equivalent) if the net asset value per share of such investments is calculated in a manner consistent with the measurement principles of Topic 946, “Financial Services – Investment Companies” as of Spectrum Strategic’s reporting date.

As of December 31, 2016, Spectrum Strategic owned approximately 45.5% and 7.5% of PGR Master and MB Master, respectively. As of December 31, 2015, Spectrum Strategic owned 58.1%, 5.6% and 5.0% of PGR Master, MB Master and BHM I, LLC, respectively.

Morgan Stanley Spectrum Series

Notes to Financial Statements

The financial statements of Spectrum Strategic have been prepared using the “Fund of Funds” approach, and accordingly, Spectrum Strategic’s pro-rata share of all revenue and expenses of the Funds is reflected as net change in unrealized gains (losses) on investment in the Funds in Spectrum Strategic’s Statements of Income and Expenses. Contributions to and withdrawals from the Funds are recorded on the effective date. With respect to its investments in PGR Master Fund and MB Master Fund, Spectrum Strategic records a realized gain or loss on such investments as the difference between the redemption proceeds and the related cost of such investment. In determining the cost of such investments, Spectrum Strategic generally uses the average cost method. With respect to Spectrum Strategic’s investment in BHM I, LLC, Spectrum Strategic recorded redemptions received from BHM I, LLC as a reduction of cost basis and thereafter the redemptions received in excess of cost were recorded as a realized gain.

Summarized information for Spectrum Strategic’s investment in, and operations of BHM I, LLC, PGR Master Fund and MB Master Fund, as of and for the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015, is as follows:

Trading profits represent the amount by which profits from Futures Interests trading exceed losses after ongoing selling agent fees, brokerage fees, General Partner fees and management fees, as applicable, are deducted.

For all trading advisors with trading losses, no incentive fees are paid in subsequent periods until all such losses are recovered. Cumulative trading losses are adjusted on a pro-rata basis for the net amount of each month’s redemptions and reallocations.

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. 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 respective Statements of Financial Condition as a net unrealized gain or loss on open futures or forward contracts. The resulting net change in unrealized gains and losses is reflected in the “Net change in unrealized gains (losses) on open contracts” in the respective Statements of Income and Expenses. The Partnerships’ contracts are accounted for on a trade-date basis. 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 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.

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 respective financial statements, the credit risk associated with the instruments in which each Partnership trades is limited to the unrealized gain (loss) amounts reflected in the respective Partnership’s Statements of Financial Condition. The net unrealized gains (losses) on open contracts are further disclosed gross by type of contract and corresponding fair value level in Note 7, “Fair Value Measurements.”

Morgan Stanley Spectrum Series

Notes to Financial Statements

The Partnerships also have credit risk because MS&Co. acts as the commodity futures broker, or the counterparty, with respect to most of the Partnerships’ assets. Exchange-traded futures and exchange-traded forward contracts are fair valued on a daily basis, with variations in value settled on a daily basis. With respect to the Partnerships’ off-exchange-traded forward currency contracts and forward currency option 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, the Partnerships are required to meet margin requirements equal to the net unrealized loss on open forward currency contracts in the Partnerships’ accounts with the counterparty, which is accomplished by daily maintenance of the cash balance in custody accounts 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 the counterparty. The primary terms are based on industry standard master netting agreements. These agreements, which seek to reduce both the Partnerships’ and the counterparty’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.

The Partnerships do not isolate the portion of the results of operations arising from the effect of changes in foreign exchange rates on investments from fluctuations due to changes in market prices of investments held. Such fluctuations are included in total trading results in the Statements of Income and Expenses.

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 and forward contracts by sector, margin requirements, gain and loss transactions and collateral positions.

The futures and forwards traded by the Partnerships, along with the U.S. Treasury bills held 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 its earnings, whether realized or unrealized, and cash flow.

Gains and losses on open positions of exchange-traded futures and exchange-traded forward contracts are settled daily through variation margin. Gains and losses on off-exchange-traded forward currency contracts are settled upon termination of the contract.

Spectrum Strategic’s, Spectrum Technical’s and Tactical Currency’s investments in the affiliated underlying funds expose each Partnership to various types of risks that are associated with Futures Interests trading and the markets in which the affiliated underlying funds invest. The significant types of financial risks to which the affiliated underlying funds are exposed are market risk, liquidity risk, and counterparty credit risk as described above.

6.	Trading Activities:

The Partnerships’ objective is to profit from speculative trading in Futures Interests. Therefore, the trading advisors for each Partnership will take speculative positions in Futures Interests where they feel the best profit opportunities exist for their respective trading strategies. 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.

100% of Tactical Currency’s contracts held indirectly through its investment in Cambridge Master Fund are traded over-the-counter.

The General Partner estimates that, at any given time, approximately 7.7% to 27.7% of Spectrum Select’s contracts are traded over-the-counter.

The General Partner estimates that, at any given time, approximately 0.0% to 14.7% of Spectrum Strategic’s contracts held indirectly through its investment in the Funds are traded over-the-counter.

The General Partner estimates that, at any given time, approximately 21.2% to 42.3% of Spectrum Technical’s contracts held both directly and indirectly through its investment in SECOR Master Fund are traded over-the-counter.

All of the commodity interests owned by Spectrum Select and Spectrum Technical are held for trading purposes. The monthly average number of futures contracts traded by Spectrum Select during the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015 were 6,303 and 8,519, respectively. The monthly average number of metals forward contracts traded by Spectrum Select during the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015 were 965 and 1,135, respectively. The monthly average notional values of currency forward contracts traded by Spectrum Select during the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015 were $117,997,719 and $124,501,944, respectively.

The monthly average number of futures contracts traded directly by Spectrum Technical during the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015 were 3,074 and 4,195, respectively. The monthly average number of metals forward contracts traded directly by Spectrum Technical during the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015 were 393 and 502, respectively. The monthly average notional values of currency forward contracts traded directly by Spectrum Technical during the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015 were $302,187,265 and $288,970,752, respectively.

In the event of default by Spectrum Select, MS&Co., Spectrum Select’s commodity futures broker and the sole counterparty to Spectrum Select’s off-exchange-traded contracts, as applicable, has the right to offset Spectrum Select’s obligation with Spectrum Select’s cash and/or U.S. Treasury bills held by MS&Co., thereby minimizing MS&Co.’s risk of loss. There is no collateral posted by MS&Co. and as such, in the event of default by MS&Co., Spectrum Select is exposed to the amount shown in the Statements of Financial Condition. In the case of exchange-traded contracts, Spectrum Select’s exposure to counterparty risk may be reduced since the exchange’s clearinghouse interposes its credit between buyer and seller and the clearinghouse’s guarantee fund may be available in the event of a default.

7.	Fair Value Measurements:

Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date under current market conditions. The fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1) and the lowest priority to fair values derived from unobservable inputs (Level 3). The level in the fair value hierarchy within which the fair value measurement in its entirety falls shall be determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety.

The fair value of exchange-traded futures, option and forward contracts is determined by the various 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 input 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. U.S. Treasury bills are valued at the last available bid price received from independent pricing services as of the close of the last business day of the reporting period.

Morgan Stanley Spectrum Series

Notes to Financial Statements

The Partnerships consider prices for exchange-traded commodity futures, forward, swap and option contracts to be based on unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities (Level 1). The values of U.S. Treasury bills, non-exchange-traded forward, swap and certain option contracts for which market quotations are not readily available are priced by broker quotes or pricing services that derive fair values for those assets and liabilities from observable inputs (Level 2). As of and for the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015, the Partnerships did not hold any derivative instruments that were priced at fair value using unobservable inputs through the application of the General Partner’s assumptions and internal valuation pricing models (Level 3). Transfers between levels are recognized at the end of the reporting period. During the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015, there were no transfers of assets or liabilities between Level 1 and Level 2.

There were no direct investments held by Tactical Currency and Spectrum Strategic as of December 31, 2016 and 2015. For Tactical Currency’s investment in Cambridge Master Fund, see Notes 2 and 5 of the attached Cambridge Master Fund’s financial statements for the determination of the fair value of Cambridge Master Fund’s investments and related disclosures, including the fair value hierarchy. The following tables present information about Spectrum Select’s and Spectrum Technical’s assets and liabilities measured at fair value as of December 31, 2016 and 2015:

Net asset value per Unit, beginning of year		9.92		8.49		7.39

Incentive fees		(0.8)%		(3.1)%		(1.7)%

Total return after incentive fees		(10.9)%		16.8 %		14.9 %

Net investment loss per Unit is calculated by dividing the expenses net of interest income by the average number of Units outstanding during the year. The net realized and unrealized gains (losses) per Unit is a balancing amount necessary to reconcile the change in net asset value per Unit with the other per unit information.

**	Interest income less total expenses.

The above ratios and total return may vary for individual investors based on the timing of capital transactions during the year. Additionally, these ratios are calculated for the limited partner class using the limited partners’ share of income, expenses and average partners’ capital of Tactical Currency and includes income and expenses allocated from its investments in Cambridge Master Fund and KR Master Fund, as applicable.

9. Subsequent Events:

As of January 1, 2017, Ceres and Morgan Stanley Wealth Management became wholly-owned subsidiaries of Morgan Stanley Domestic Holdings, Inc. (“MSD Holdings”). Prior to January 1, 2017, Ceres and Morgan Stanley Wealth Management were wholly-owned subsidiaries of MSSBH. MSD Holdings is ultimately owned by Morgan Stanley.

Ceres has evaluated the subsequent events through the date the financial statements are issued and has determined that there were no additional subsequent events requiring adjustment to or disclosure in each respective Partnership’s financial statements.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Partners of Cambridge Master Fund L.P.:

We have audited the accompanying statements of financial condition of Cambridge Master Fund L.P. (the “Partnership”), including the condensed schedules of investments, as of December 31, 2016 and 2015, 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, 2016. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Partnership’s 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 Partnership is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its 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 Partnership’s 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 Cambridge Master Fund L.P. as of December 31, 2016 and 2015, and the results of its operations and changes in its partners’ capital for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2016, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Notes to Financial Statements

1.	Organization:

Cambridge Master Fund L.P. (the “Master”) is a limited partnership organized under the partnership laws of the State of Delaware on July 30, 2012, to engage in the speculative trading of a portfolio of commodity interests, including futures, option, swap and forward contracts. Cambridge Master exclusively trades in the currency sector. The commodity interests that are traded by the Master are volatile and involve a high degree of market risk. The General Partner (as defined below) may also determine to invest up to all of the Master’s assets in United States (“U.S.”) Treasury bills and/or money market mutual funds, including money market mutual funds managed by Morgan Stanley or its affiliates.

Ceres Managed Futures LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, acts as the general partner (the “General Partner”) and commodity pool operator of the Master. At December 31, 2016, the General Partner was a wholly-owned subsidiary of Morgan Stanley Smith Barney Holdings LLC (“MSSB Holdings”). MSSB Holdings was ultimately owned by Morgan Stanley. Morgan Stanley is a publicly held company whose shares are listed on the New York Stock Exchange. Morgan Stanley is engaged in various financial services and other businesses. All trading decisions for the Master are made by the Advisor (as defined below).

On September 1, 2012 (commencement of trading operations), Emerging CTA Portfolio L.P. (“Emerging CTA”) allocated a portion of its capital to the Master and purchased an interest in the Master with cash equal to $3,000,000. On November 1, 2012, Ceres Tactical Currency L.P. (“Ceres Tactical Currency”) (formerly known as Morgan Stanley Smith Barney Spectrum Currency and Commodity L.P.) allocated a portion of its capital to the Master and purchased an interest in the Master with cash equal to $3,355,672. On December 1, 2015, Morgan Stanley Managed Futures Custom Solutions Fund LP – Series A (“Custom Solutions”), Tactical Diversified Futures Fund L.P. (“Tactical Diversified”), and Institutional Futures Portfolio L.P. (“Institutional Portfolio”) each allocated a portion of their capital to the Master and purchased an interest in the Master with cash equal to $2,400,000, $17,000,000 and $2,500,000, respectively. The Master permits commodity pools managed now or in the future by The Cambridge Strategy (Asset Management) Limited (the “Advisor”) using the Asian Markets Alpha Programme and the Emerging Markets Alpha Programme, the Advisor’s proprietary, systematic trading systems, to invest together in one trading vehicle.

During the periods covered by this report, the Master’s commodity broker was Morgan Stanley & Co. LLC (“MS&Co.”), a registered futures commission merchant. The Master also deposits a portion of its cash in a non-trading account at JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A.

At December 31, 2016, the Master operated under a structure where its investors consist of Emerging CTA, Ceres Tactical Currency, Custom Solutions, Institutional Portfolio and Tactical Diversified (each a “Feeder”, and collectively, the “Funds”). Emerging CTA, Ceres Tactical Currency, Custom Solutions, Institutional Futures and Tactical Diversified owned approximately 26.2%, 16.3%, 4.3%, 9.1% and 44.1% of the Master at December 31, 2016, respectively. Emerging CTA, Ceres Tactical Currency, Custom Solutions, Institutional Futures and Tactical Diversified owned approximately 40.8%, 22.7%, 4.0%, 4.2% and 28.3% of the Master at December 31, 2015, respectively.

The Master will be liquidated under certain circumstances as defined in the limited partnership agreement of the Master (the “Limited Partnership Agreement”).

Notes to Financial Statements

2.	Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies:

Use of Estimates. The preparation of financial statements and accompanying notes in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) requires the General Partner to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, income and expenses, and related disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities in the financial statements and accompanying notes. As a result, actual results could differ from these estimates.

Statement of Cash Flows. The Master is not required to provide a Statement of Cash Flows.

Master’s Investments. All commodity interests of the Master, including derivative financial instruments and derivative commodity instruments, are held for trading purposes. The commodity interests are recorded on the trade date and open contracts are recorded at fair value (as described in Note 5, “Fair Value Measurements”) at the measurement date. Investments in commodity interests denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rates prevailing at the measurement date. Gains or losses are realized when contracts are closed and are determined using the first-in, first-out method. Unrealized gains or losses on open contracts are included as a component of equity in trading account in the Statements of Financial Condition. Net realized gains or losses and net change in net unrealized gains or losses are included in the Statements of Income and Expenses.

Master’s Cash. The Master’s cash included cash denominated in foreign currencies of $(7) (cost of $36) and $817 (cost of $863) at December 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively. The Master’s margin requirement of $23,516,491 as of December 31, 2015 was met from a combination of 1) U.S. Treasury bills held at MS&Co. and 2) cash margin held at MS&Co. of $10,495,462 as of December 31, 2015.

Income and Expenses Recognition. All of the income and expenses and realized and unrealized gains and losses on trading of commodity interests are determined on each valuation day and allocated pro rata among the Funds at the time of such determination.

Income Taxes. Income taxes are not listed as each partner is individually liable for the taxes, if any, on its share of the Master’s income and expenses. The General Partner concluded that no provision for income tax is required in the Master’s financial statements. The Master files U.S. federal and various state and local tax returns. No income tax returns are currently under examination. The 2013 through 2016 tax years remain subject to examination by U.S. federal and most state tax authorities. The General Partner does not believe that there are any uncertain tax positions that require recognition of a tax liability.

Cambridge Master Fund L.P.

Notes to Financial Statements

Investment Company Status. Effective January 1, 2014, the Master adopted Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2013-08, “Financial Services — Investment Companies (Topic 946): Amendments to the Scope, Measurement and Disclosure Requirements” and based on the General Partner’s assessment, the Master has been deemed to be an investment company since inception. Accordingly, the Master follows the investment company accounting and reporting guidance of Topic 946 and reflects its investments at fair value with unrealized gains and losses resulting from changes in fair value reflected in the Statements of Income and Expenses.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments. The carrying value of the Master’s assets and liabilities presented in the Statements of Financial Condition that qualify as financial instruments under the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 825, “Financial Instruments,” approximates the fair value due to the short term nature of such balances.

Recent Accounting Pronouncement. In January 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-01, “Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities.” The amendments in this update address certain aspects of recognition, measurement, presentation, and disclosure of financial instruments for all entities that hold financial assets or owe financial liabilities. One of the amendments in this update eliminates the requirement for public business entities to disclose the methods and significant assumptions used to estimate the fair value that is required to be disclosed for financial instruments measured at amortized cost on the balance sheet or a description of changes in the methods and significant assumptions. Additionally, the update eliminates the requirement to disclose the fair value of financial instruments measured at amortized cost for entities that are not public business entities. Investment companies are specifically exempted from ASU 2016-01’s equity investment accounting provisions and will continue to follow the industry specific guidance for investment accounting under Topic 946. For public business entities, this update is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017 and interim periods therein. For other entities, it is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018 and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019. The General Partner is currently evaluating the impact this guidance will have on the Master’s financial statements and related disclosures.

Reclassification. Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to current year presentation. The Master Fund’s amounts previously reported as cash overdraft of $13,021,029 as of December 31, 2015 are now included with cash margin in the Master Fund’s Statements of Financial Condition.

3.	Agreements:

Limited Partnership Agreement:

The General Partner administers the business and affairs of the Master, including selecting one or more advisors to make trading decisions for the Master.

Management Agreement:

The General Partner, on behalf of the Master, has entered into a management agreement (the “Management Agreement”) with the Advisor, a registered commodity trading advisor. The Advisor is not affiliated with the General Partner or MS&Co. and is not responsible for the organization or operation of the Master. The Management Agreement provides that the Advisor has sole discretion in determining the investment of the assets of the Master.

Cambridge Master Fund L.P.

Notes to Financial Statements

All management fees in connection with the Management Agreement are borne by the Funds. The Management Agreement may be terminated upon notice by either party.

Customer Agreement:

The Master has entered into a customer agreement with MS&Co. (the “Customer Agreement”) and a foreign exchange brokerage account agreement with MS&Co.

Under the Customer Agreement and the foreign exchange brokerage account agreement , the Master pays MS&Co. trading fees for the clearing and, where applicable, the execution of transactions. Further, all trading, exchange, clearing, user, give-up, floor brokerage and National Futures Association fees (collectively, the “clearing fees”) are borne by the Master and allocated to the Funds. All other fees are borne by the Funds. All of the Master’s assets available for trading commodity interests are deposited in the Master’s brokerage account at MS&Co. The Master’s cash deposited with MS&Co. is held in segregated bank accounts to the extent required by Commodity Futures Trading Commission regulations. At December 31, 2016 and 2015, the amount of cash held by the Master for margin requirements was $20,142,391 and $10,495,462 respectively. The Customer Agreement may generally be terminated upon notice by either party.

Prior to April 1, 2014, Ceres Tactical Currency paid to MS&Co. a monthly brokerage fee at a flat rate of 1/12 of 4.6% per month (a 4.6% annual rate) of the net assets of Ceres Tactical Currency allocated to the Advisor as of the first day of each month. Effective April 1, 2014, the flat rate brokerage fee was reduced to 1/12 of 3.6% per month (a 3.6% annual rate) of Ceres Tactical Currency’s net assets. Effective October 1, 2014, the flat rate brokerage fee was separated into (i) a General Partner fee payable to the General Partner equal to an annual rate of 2.0% of Ceres Tactical Currency’s net assets, and (ii) an ongoing placement agent fee payable to Morgan Stanley Wealth Management equal to an annual rate of 1.6% of Ceres Tactical Currency’s 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 Ceres Tactical Currency. The General Partner fees include, and the flat rate brokerage fee included, clearing fees and professional fees that are charged to the Master. Therefore, the Master receives monthly expense reimbursements on clearing fees and professional fees incurred during such month, as shown in the Statements of Income and Expenses as expense reimbursements, based on the beginning of the month partners’ capital allocation percentage for Ceres Tactical Currency’s investment in the Master. Prior to October 1, 2014, the monthly expense reimbursement was paid by MS&Co. Effective October 1, 2014, the monthly expense reimbursement is paid by the General Partner.

4.	Trading Activities:

The Master was formed for the purpose of trading contracts in a variety of commodity interests, including derivative financial instruments and derivative commodity interests. The results of the Master’s trading activities are shown in the Statements of Income and Expenses.

The Customer Agreement gives the Master the legal right to net unrealized gains and losses on open futures and forward contracts. The Master nets, for financial reporting purposes, the unrealized gains and losses on open futures and open forward contracts in the Statements of Financial Condition, as the criteria under ASC 210-20, “Balance Sheet,” have been met.

All of the commodity interests owned by the Master are held for trading purposes. The monthly average number of notional values of currency forward contracts traded for the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015 were $3,877,827,139 and $2,407,009,280, respectively.

The following tables summarize the gross and net amounts recognized relating to assets and liabilities of the Master’s derivatives and their offsetting subject to master netting agreements or similar arrangements as of December 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively.

In the event of default by the Master, MS&Co., the Master’s commodity futures broker and the sole counterparty to the Master’s off-exchange-traded contracts, as applicable, has the right to offset the Master’s obligation with the Master’s cash and/or U.S. Treasury bills held by MS&Co., thereby minimizing MS&Co.’s risk of loss. There is no collateral posted by MS&Co. and as such, in the event of default by MS&Co., the Master is exposed to the amount shown in the Statements of Financial Condition. In the case of exchange-traded contracts, the Master’s exposure to counterparty risk may be reduced since the exchange’s clearinghouse interposes its credit between buyer and seller and the clearinghouse’s guarantee fund may be available in the event of a default.

5.	Fair Value Measurements:

Master’s Fair Value Measurements. Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date under current market conditions. The fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1) and the lowest priority to fair values derived from unobservable inputs (Level 3). The level in the fair value hierarchy within which the fair value measurement falls in its entirety shall be determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety.

The fair value of exchange-traded futures, option and forward contracts is determined by the various 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 input 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. U.S. Treasury bills are valued at the last available bid price received from independent pricing services as of the close of the last business day of the reporting period.

The Master considers prices for exchange-traded commodity futures, forward, swap and option contracts to be based on unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities (Level 1). The values of U.S. Treasury bills, non-exchange-traded forwards, swap and certain option contracts for which market quotations are not readily available are priced by broker quotes or pricing services that derive fair values for those assets and liabilities from observable inputs (Level 2). As of and for the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015, the Master did not hold any exchange-traded commodity futures, forward, swap and option contracts to be based on unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities (Level 1) or derivative instruments that were priced at fair value using unobservable inputs through the application of the General Partner’s assumptions and internal valuation pricing models (Level 3). Transfers between levels are recognized at the end of the reporting period. During the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015, there were no transfers of assets or liabilities between Level 1 and Level 2.

6. Subscriptions, Distributions and Redemptions:

Subscriptions are accepted monthly from investors who become limited partners on the first day of the month after their subscriptions are processed. Distributions are made on a pro-rata basis at the sole discretion of the General Partner. No distributions have been made to date. The General Partner does not intend to make any distributions of the Master’s profits, except for distribution of interest income to feeder funds, as applicable. Generally, a limited partner withdraws all or part of its capital contribution and undistributed profits, if any, from the Master as of the end of any month (the “Redemption Date”) after a request for redemption has been made to the General Partner at least three days in advance of the Redemption Date. Such withdrawals are classified as a liability when the limited partner elects to redeem and informs the Master. However, a limited partner may request a withdrawal as of the end of any day if such request is received by the General Partner at least three days in advance of the proposed withdrawal day.

7. Financial Highlights:

Financial highlights for the limited partner class as a whole for the years ended December 31, 2016, 2015 and 2014 were as follows:

Total return		(5.7)	%		25.0	%		27.4	%

* Interest

income less total expenses, net of expense reimbursements.

** Due

to rounding.

8. Financial Instrument Risks:

In the normal course of business, the Master is party to financial instruments with off-balance-sheet risk, including derivative financial instruments and derivative commodity instruments. These financial instruments may include forwards, futures, options and swaps whose values are based upon an underlying asset, index, or reference rate, and generally represent future commitments to exchange currencies or cash balances, to purchase or sell other financial instruments at specific terms at specified future dates, or, in the case of derivative commodity instruments, to have a reasonable possibility to be settled in cash, through physical delivery or with another financial instrument. These instruments may be traded on an exchange, a swap execution facility or over-the-counter (“OTC”). Exchange-traded instruments include futures and certain standardized forward, swap and option contracts. Certain swap contracts may also be traded on a swap execution facility or OTC. OTC contracts are negotiated between contracting parties and also include certain forward and option contracts. Each of these instruments is subject to various risks similar to those related to the underlying financial instruments, including market and credit risk. In general, the risks associated with OTC contracts are greater than those associated with exchange-traded instruments because of the greater risk of default by the counterparty to an OTC contract. The General Partner estimates that at any given time, approximately 100% of the Master’s contracts are traded OTC.

Notes to Financial Statements

Forward Foreign Currency Contracts. Forward foreign currency contracts are those contracts where the Master agrees to receive or deliver a fixed quantity of foreign currency for an agreed-upon price on an agreed future date. Forward foreign currency contracts are valued daily, and the Master’s net equity therein, representing unrealized gain or loss on the contracts as measured by the difference between the forward foreign exchange rates at the dates of entry into the contracts and the forward rates at the reporting date, is included in the Statements of Financial Condition. Net realized gains (losses) and net change in unrealized gains (losses) on foreign currency contracts are recognized in the period in which the contract is closed or the changes occur, respectively, and are included in the Statements of Income and Expenses.

The Master does not isolate the portion of the results of operations arising from the effect of changes in foreign exchange rates on investments from fluctuations from changes in market prices of investments held. Such fluctuations are included in total trading results in the Statements of Income and Expenses.

Market risk is the potential for changes in the value of the financial instruments traded by the Master due to market changes, including interest and foreign exchange rate movements and fluctuations in commodity or security prices. Market risk is directly impacted by the volatility and liquidity in the markets in which the related underlying assets are traded. The Master is exposed to a market risk equal to the value of futures and forward contracts purchased and unlimited liability on such contracts sold short.

Credit risk is the possibility that a loss may occur due to the failure of a counterparty to perform according to the terms of a contract. The Master’s risk of loss in the event of counterparty default is typically limited to the amounts recognized in the Statements of Financial Condition and is not represented by the contract or notional amounts of the instruments. The Master’s risk of loss is reduced through the use of legally enforceable master netting agreements with counterparties that permit the Master to offset unrealized gains and losses and other assets and liabilities with such counterparties upon the occurrence of certain events. The Master has credit risk and concentration risk, as MS&Co. or an MS&Co. affiliate is the sole counterparty or broker with respect to the Master’s assets. Credit risk with respect to exchange-traded instruments is reduced to the extent that, through MS&Co. or an MS&Co. affiliate, the Master’s counterparty is an exchange or clearing organization.

The General Partner monitors and attempts to control the Master’s 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 Master 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, forward and option contracts by sector, margin requirements, gain and loss transactions and collateral positions.

The majority of these instruments mature within one year of the inception date. However, due to the nature of the Master’s business, these instruments may not be held to maturity.

9. Subsequent Events:

As of January 1, 2017, the General Partner became a wholly-owned subsidiary of Morgan Stanley Domestic Holdings, Inc. (“MSD Holdings”). Prior to January 1, 2017, the General Partner was a wholly-owned subsidiary of MSSB Holdings. MSD Holdings is ultimately owned by Morgan Stanley.

Effective February 27, 2017, Custom Solutions changed its name from Morgan Stanley Managed Futures Custom Solutions Fund LP - Series A to Managed Futures Custom Solutions Fund LP - Series A.

The General Partner has evaluated the subsequent events through the date the financial statements are issued and has determined that there were no additional subsequent events requiring adjustment to or disclosure in the financial statements.
