Management’s Report on Internal Control Over

Financial Reporting

Ceres Managed Futures LLC (“Ceres”) is the general partner of Morgan Stanley Smith Barney Charter Aspect L.P. (the “Partnership”) and is responsible for the management of the Partnership.

Management of the Partnership, 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 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:

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 Partnership’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2017. 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 Partnership maintained effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2017, based on the criteria referred to above.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the Partners of Morgan Stanley Smith Barney Charter Aspect L.P.,

Opinion on the Financial Statements

We have audited the accompanying statement of financial condition of Morgan Stanley Smith Barney Charter Aspect L.P. (the “Partnership”), including the condensed schedule of investments, as of December 31, 2017, and the related statements of income and expenses and changes in partners’ capital for the year ended December 31, 2017, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the “financial statements”). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Partnership at December 31, 2017, and the results of its operations and changes in its partners’ capital for the year ended December 31, 2017, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

The statement of financial condition, including the condensed schedule of investments, as of December 31, 2016, and the related statements of income and expenses and changes in partners’ capital for the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015 were audited by another independent registered public accounting firm whose report, dated March 24, 2017, expressed an unqualified opinion on those statements.

Basis for Opinion

These financial statements are the responsibility of the Partnership’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Partnership’s financial statements based on our audit. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (“PCAOB”) and are required to be independent with respect to the Partnership in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Partnership is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of the Partnership’s internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audit we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting 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.

Our audit included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of December 31, 2017, by correspondence with the custodian and brokers or by other appropriate auditing procedures where replies from brokers and others were not received. Our audit also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Notes to Financial Statements

Morgan Stanley Smith Barney Charter Aspect L.P. (the “Partnership”) is a Delaware limited partnership organized in 1993 to engage primarily in the speculative trading of futures contracts, options on futures and forward contracts, 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 4, “Financial Instruments”). The General Partner (as defined below) may also determine to invest up to all of the Partnership’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. The Partnership was one of the Morgan Stanley Charter series of funds, comprised of the Partnership and prior to their terminations on December 31, 2016, Morgan Stanley Smith Barney Charter WNT L.P. and Morgan Stanley Smith Barney Charter Campbell L.P.

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 Partnership. As of January 1, 2017, Ceres became a wholly-owned subsidiary of Morgan Stanley Domestic Holdings, Inc. (“MSD Holdings”). MSD Holdings 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. Prior to January 1, 2017, Ceres was a wholly-owned subsidiary of Morgan Stanley Smith Barney Holdings LLC. Morgan Stanley Smith Barney LLC is doing business as Morgan Stanley Wealth Management (“Morgan Stanley Wealth Management”). Morgan Stanley Wealth Management is a principal subsidiary of MSD Holdings.

During the periods covered by this report, the Partnership’s commodity broker was Morgan Stanley & Co. LLC (“MS&Co.”), a registered futures commission merchant. MS&Co. also acted as the counterparty on all trading of foreign currency forward contracts. MS&Co. is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Morgan Stanley. The Partnership also deposits a portion of its cash in a non-trading bank account at JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A.

Ceres is required to maintain a 1% minimum interest in the equity of the 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 Partnership. The General Partner pays or reimburses the Partnership, from the General Partner fee it receives, the ordinary administrative expenses of the Partnership. This includes the expenses related to the engagement of the Administrator.

Notes to Financial Statements

The General Partner pays or reimburses the Partnership 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 Partnership.

The Partnership, in its normal course of business, enters into various contracts with MS&Co. acting as its commodity broker. Pursuant to brokerage agreement with MS&Co., to the extent that such trading results in unrealized gains or losses, these amounts are offset for the Partnership and are reported on a net basis in the Statements of Financial Condition.

The Partnership has offset its unrealized gains or losses executed with the same counterparty as allowable under the terms of its master netting agreement with MS&Co., the counterparty on such contracts. The Partnership has consistently applied its right to offset.

Morgan Stanley Smith Barney Charter Aspect L.P.

Notes to Financial Statements

Ceres, on behalf of the Partnership, has retained Aspect Capital Limited (“Aspect” or the “Trading Advisor”), which is registered with the Commodity Futures Trading Commission, to make all trading decisions for the Partnership.

Compensation to the Trading Advisor by the Partnership consists of a management fee and an incentive fee as follows:

Management Fee. The Partnership pays the Trading Advisor a flat-rate monthly fee equal to 1/12th of 1.5% (1.5% annual rate) of the Partnership’s net assets under management by the Trading Advisor as of the first day of each month.

Incentive Fee. The Partnership pays the Trading Advisor an incentive fee equal to 20% of trading profits paid on a monthly basis.

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

Morgan Stanley Smith Barney Charter Aspect L.P.

Notes to Financial Statements

The Partnership trades 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 General Partner estimates that at any given time approximately 36.9% to 60.5% of the Partnership’s contracts are traded over-the-counter.

In general, the risks associated with non-exchange-traded contracts are greater than those associated with exchange-traded contracts because of the greater risk of default by the counterparty to a non-exchange-traded contract. The Partnership has credit risk associated with counterparty nonperformance. As of the date of the financial statements, the credit risk associated with the instruments in which the Partnership trades is limited to the unrealized gain amounts reflected in the Statements of Financial Condition.

The Partnership also has credit risk because MS&Co. acts as the commodity futures broker, or the counterparty, with respect to most of the Partnership’s 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 Partnership’s non-exchange-traded forward currency 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 Partnership is required to meet margin requirements with the counterparty, which is accomplished by daily maintenance of the cash balance in custody accounts and U.S. Treasury bills held at MS&Co., for the benefit of MS&Co. With respect to those non-exchange-traded forward currency contracts, the Partnership is at risk to the ability of MS&Co., the sole counterparty on all such contracts, to perform. The 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 Partnership’s and MS&Co.’s exposure on non-exchange-traded forward currency contracts, including options on such contracts, should materially decrease the Partnership’s credit risk in the event of MS&Co.’s bankruptcy or insolvency.

The General Partner monitors and attempts to mitigate the Partnership’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 Partnership 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 positions by sector, margin requirements, gain and loss transactions and collateral positions.

The Futures Interests traded, and the U.S. Treasury bills held by the Partnership involve varying degrees of related market risk. Market risk is often dependent upon changes in the level or volatility of interest rates, exchange rates, and prices of financial instruments and commodities, factors that result in frequent changes in the fair value of the Partnership’s open positions, and consequently, in its earnings, whether realized or unrealized, and cash flow. Gains and losses on open positions of exchange-traded futures and exchange-traded forward contracts are settled daily through variation margin. Gains and losses on non-exchange-traded forward currency contracts are settled upon termination of the contract.

In the ordinary course of business, the Partnership enters into contracts and agreements that contain various representations and warranties and which provide general indemnifications. The Partnership’s maximum exposure under these arrangements cannot be determined, as this could include future claims that have not yet been made against the Partnership. The Partnership considers the risk of any future obligation relating to these indemnifications to be remote.

Morgan Stanley Smith Barney Charter Aspect L.P.

Notes to Financial Statements

The Partnership’s objective is to profit from speculative trading in Futures Interests. Therefore, the Trading Advisor will take speculative positions in Futures Interests where it feels the best profit opportunities exist for its 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.

All of the Futures Interests owned by the Partnership are held for trading purposes. The monthly average number of futures contracts traded during the years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016 were 1,617 and 1,607, respectively. The monthly average number of metals forward contracts traded during the years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016 were 121 and 207, respectively. The monthly average notional values of currency forward contracts traded during the years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016 were $116,969,535 and $103,224,681, respectively.

The following tables summarize the gross and net amounts recognized relating to assets and liabilities of the Partnership’s derivative instruments and transactions eligible for offset subject to master netting agreements or similar arrangements as of December 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively.

*    In the event of default by the Partnership, MS&Co., the Partnership’s commodity futures broker and the sole counterparty to the Partnership’s non-exchange-traded contracts, as applicable, has the right to offset the Partnership’s obligation with the Partnership’s cash and/or U.S. Treasury bills held by MS&Co., thereby minimizing MS&Co.’s risk of loss. In certain instances, MS&Co. may not post collateral and as such, in the event of default by MS&Co., the Partnership is exposed to the amount shown in the Statements of Financial Condition. In the case of exchange-traded contracts, the Partnership’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 funds may be available in the event of a default.

Notes to Financial Statements

Fair value is defined as the value 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, forward and option 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 Partnership considers prices for commodity futures, 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 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, 2017 and 2016, the Partnership 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 beginning of the reporting period.

Financial highlights for the limited partner class as a whole for the years ended December 31, 2017, 2016 and 2015 were as follows:

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 the Partnership.

The General Partner evaluates events that occur after the balance sheet date but before and up until financial statements are available to be issued. The General Partner has assessed the subsequent events through the date the financial statements were issued and has determined that there were no subsequent events requiring adjustment to or disclosure in the financial statements.
