Managements Report on Internal Control Over
Financial Reporting
Ceres Managed Futures LLC (Ceres), the general partner of Morgan Stanley Smith Barney Charter Aspect L.P. (Charter Aspect), is responsible for the management of Charter Aspect. Ceres was also the general partner of Morgan Stanley Smith Barney Charter Campbell L.P. (Partnership in Liquidation) (Charter Campbell) and Morgan Stanley Smith Barney Charter WNT L.P. (Partnership in Liquidation) (Charter WNT and collectively with Charter Aspect and Charter Campbell, the Partnerships) prior to December 31, 2016 (termination of operations for Charter Campbell and Charter WNT), and was responsible for the management of Charter Campbell and Charter WNT.
Management of Charter Aspect, Ceres, is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting as defined in Rules 13a15(f) and 15d15(f) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and for the assessment of internal control over financial reporting. Prior to December 31, 2016 (termination of operations for Charter Campbell and Charter WNT), the management of the Charter Campbell and Charter WNT, Ceres (in its capacity as management of the Partnerships, Management), was responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting as defined in Rules 13a15(f) and 15d15(f) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and for the assessment of internal control over financial reporting. Internal control over financial reporting for Charter Aspect is, and internal control over financial reporting for Charter Campbell and Charter WNT was, 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. Charter Aspects internal control over financial reporting includes, and Charter Campbells and Charter WNTs internal control over financial reporting included, those policies and procedures that:
(i) | pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the Partnerships; |
(ii) | provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, and that receipts and expenditures of the Partnerships are being made only in accordance with authorizations of Management and the directors of Ceres; and |
(iii) | provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection and correction of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of the Partnerships assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements. |
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
Management has assessed the effectiveness of the Partnerships internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 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 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 Morgan Stanley Smith Barney Charter Aspect L.P., Morgan Stanley Smith Barney Charter Campbell L.P. (Partnership in Liquidation) and Morgan Stanley Smith Barney Charter WNT L.P. (Partnership in Liquidation):
We have audited the accompanying statements of financial condition of Morgan Stanley Smith Barney Charter Aspect L.P., 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. We have also audited the accompanying statements of financial condition (liquidation basis) of Morgan Stanley Smith Barney Charter Campbell L.P. and Morgan Stanley Smith Barney Charter WNT L.P. (Partnerships in Liquidation) (collectively, the Partnerships and together with Morgan Stanley Smith Barney Charter Aspect L.P., the Funds), including the condensed schedules of investments (liquidation basis), as of December 31, 2016 (termination of operations), and the related statements of income and expenses (liquidation basis) and changes in partners capital (liquidation basis) for the year ended December 31, 2016 (termination of operations). In addition, we have audited the accompanying statements of financial condition of the Partnerships, including the condensed schedules of investments, as of December 31, 2015, and the related statements of income and expenses and changes in partners capital for the years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Funds 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 Funds 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 Funds 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.
As discussed in Note 1 to the financial statements, Morgan Stanley Smith Barney Charter Campbell L.P. and Morgan Stanley Smith Barney Charter WNT L.P. terminated operations on December 31, 2016. As a result, the Partnerships changed their basis of accounting from the going concern basis to the liquidation basis.
In our opinion, such financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Morgan Stanley Smith Barney Aspect 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. Also, in our opinion, such financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, (1) the financial position (liquidation basis) of Morgan Stanley Smith Barney Charter Campbell L.P. and Morgan Stanley Smith Barney WNT L.P. (Partnerships in Liquidation) as of December 31, 2016 (termination of operations), (2) the results of their operations (liquidation basis) and changes in their partners capital (liquidation basis) for the year ended December 31, 2016 (termination of operations), (3) their financial position as of December 31, 2015, and (4) the results of their operations and changes in their partners capital for the years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America applied on the bases described in the preceding paragraph.

The General Partner pays or reimburses Charter Aspect, and paid or reimbursed Charter Campbell and Charter WNT, from the General Partner fee it receives or received, the ordinary administrative expenses of the Partnerships. This includes or included the expenses related to the engagement of the Administrator. Therefore, the engagement of the Administrator did not impact the Partnerships respective break-even points.
2. | Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies: |
a. | 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. |
The liquidation basis of accounting requires Charter Campbell and Charter WNT to record their respective assets and liabilities at values expected to be received or paid in liquidation. The change in basis of accounting from the going concern basis to the liquidation basis did not have a material effect on Charter Campbells or Charter WNTs carrying value of assets and liabilities or their results of operations. All carrying values, including net unrealized appreciation or depreciation on open contracts which are carried at fair value, are expected to be realized by the General Partner during liquidation. Also, the liquidation basis of accounting requires the financial statements to include a statement of net assets or a statement of changes in net assets available to partners. The respective Statements of Changes in Partners Capital for Charter Campbell and Charter WNT (included herein) present the same information and thus the respective financial statements include a statement of net assets available to partners of Charter Campbell and Charter WNT for the year ended December 31, 2016. |
b. | Profit Allocation. The General Partner and each limited partner of Charter Aspect share in the profits and losses of Charter Aspect in proportion to the amount of partnership interest owned by each, except that no limited partner is liable for the obligations of Charter Aspect in excess of its capital contributions and profits, if any, net of distributions or redemptions and losses, if any. |
The General Partner and each limited partner of Charter Campbell and Charter WNT shared in the profits and losses of Charter Campbell and Charter WNT, respectively, in proportion to the amount of partnership interest owned by each, except that no limited partner was liable for the obligations of Charter Campbell or Charter WNT in excess of its capital contributions and profits, if any, net of distributions or redemptions and losses, if any. |
c. | Statement of Cash Flows. The Partnerships are not required to provide a Statement of Cash Flows. |
d. | Partnerships Investments. All Futures Interests of Charter Aspect are, and all Futures Interests of Charter Campbell and Charter WNT were, held for trading purposes. Such Futures Interests include or included derivative financial instruments and derivative commodity instruments. Charter Aspects |
Morgan Stanley Smith Barney Charter Series
Notes to Financial Statements (liquidation basis for
Morgan Stanley Smith Barney Charter Campbell L.P. and
Morgan Stanley Smith Barney Charter WNT L.P.)
Futures Interests are, and Charter Campbells and Charter WNTs Futures Interests were, recorded on trade date. Charter Aspects open contracts are, and Charter Campbells and Charter WNTs open contracts were, recorded at fair value (as described in Note 6, Fair Value Measurements) at the measurement date. Charter Aspects investments in Futures Interests denominated in foreign currencies are, and Charter Campbells and Charter WNTs investments in Futures Interests denominated in foreign currencies were, translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rates prevailing at the measurement date. Charter Aspects gains or losses are, and Charter Campbells and Charter WNTs gains and losses were, realized at the time of contract liquidation 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 Partnerships Statements of Financial Condition. Net realized gains or losses and net change in unrealized gains or losses are included in the respective Partnerships Statements of Income and Expenses. |
e. | 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. |
f. | Restricted and Unrestricted Cash. The cash held by Charter Aspect that is available for Futures Interests trading is on deposit in a commodity brokerage account with MS&Co. Prior to December 31, 2016 (termination of operations for Charter Campbell and Charter WNT), the cash held by Charter Campbell and Charter WNT that was available for Futures Interests trading was on deposit in respective commodity brokerage accounts with MS&Co. As reflected in the respective Partnerships Statements of Financial Condition, through December 31, 2015, restricted cash equaled 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 Partnerships restricted cash is 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 or were maintained separately. At December 31, 2016 and 2015, the amount of cash held for margin requirements was $4,805,814 and $3,909,258 for Charter Aspect, $0 and $2,434,648 for Charter Campbell and $0 and $3,396,902 for Charter WNT, 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 $(331,114) (proceeds of $329,863) and $240,854 (cost of $243,631) for Charter Aspect, $(33,779) (proceeds of $33,820) and $(230,412) (proceeds of $230,918) for Charter Campbell and $(425) (proceeds of $422) and $801,194 (cost of $807,121) for Charter WNT as of December 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively. |
g. | Foreign Currency Transactions and Translations. Charter Aspects functional currency is, and Charter Campbells and Charter WNTs functional currency was, the U.S. dollar; however, Charter Aspect may transact, and Charter Campbell and Charter WNT may have transacted, business in currencies other than the U.S. dollar. Charter Aspects assets and liabilities denominated in currencies other than the U.S. dollar are, and Charter Campbells and Charter WNTs assets and liabilities denominated in currencies other than the U.S. dollar were, translated into U.S. dollars at the rate in effect at the date of the respective Statements of Financial Condition. Charter Aspects income and expense items denominated in currencies other than the U.S. dollar are, and Charter Campbells and Charter WNTs income and expense items denominated in currencies other than the U.S. dollar were, translated into U.S. dollars at the rate in effect during the period. |
h. | 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 Partnerships income and expenses. The General Partner has concluded that no provision for income tax is required in each Partnerships financial statements. Charter Aspect files, and Charter Campbell and Charter WNT filed, 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. |
i. | Revenue Recognition. For excess cash which is not invested by the General Partner in U.S. Treasury bills and/or other permitted investments, monthly, MS&Co. pays Charter Aspect interest income on 100% of its average daily equity maintained in cash in Charter Aspects account during each month at a rate equal |
Morgan Stanley Smith Barney Charter Series
Notes to Financial Statements (liquidation basis for
Morgan Stanley Smith Barney Charter Campbell L.P. and
Morgan Stanley Smith Barney Charter WNT L.P.)
to 80% of the monthly average of the 4-week U.S. Treasury bill discount rate. Prior to December 31, 2016 (termination of operations for Charter Campbell), MS&Co. paid Charter Campbell interest income on 100% of its average daily equity maintained in cash in Charter Campbells account during each month at a rate equal to 80% of the monthly average of the 4-week U.S. Treasury bill discount rate. Prior to December 31, 2016 (termination of operations for Charter WNT), MS&Co. paid Charter WNT interest income on 100% of its average daily equity maintained in cash in Charter WNTs account during each month at a rate equal to 100% of the monthly average of the 4-week U.S. Treasury bill discount rate. MS&Co. and Ceres retain or retained 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 or did not include monies due to the Partnerships on Futures Interests that have not been received. |
j. | Brokerage and Related Transaction Fees and Costs. Prior to April 1, 2014, each Partnership accrued a flat rate brokerage fee that covered all brokerage fees, transaction fees and costs, and ordinary administrative expenses. The brokerage fees for the Partnerships were accrued at a flat monthly rate of 1/12 of 6.0% (a 6.0% annual rate) of the respective Partnerships net assets as of the first day of each month. |
Effective April 1, 2014, the flat rate brokerage fee for the Partnerships was reduced from a flat monthly rate of 1/12 of 6.0% (a 6.0% annual rate) to 1/12 of 4.0% (a 4.0% annual rate) of the respective Partnerships net assets as of the first day of each month. |
Effective October 1, 2014, the flat rate brokerage fee accrued by the Partnerships, equal to 1/12 of 4.0% (a 4.0% annual rate) of each Partnerships 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 2.0% of the relevant Partnerships net assets and (ii) an ongoing placement agent fee payable to Morgan Stanley Wealth Management equal to an annual rate of 2.0% of the relevant Partnerships net assets. |
Charter Campbell and Charter WNT no longer accrue General Partner fees or ongoing placement agent fees as a result of their respective terminations of operations effective December 31, 2016. The General Partner pays or reimburses Charter Aspect, and paid or reimbursed Charter Campbell and Charter WNT, 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 respective Partnership. |
k. | Equity in Trading Account. The Partnerships asset Equity in trading account reflected in each Partnerships 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, as applicable. |
Charter Aspect, in its normal course of business, enters into various contracts with MS&Co. acting as its commodity broker. Prior to their respective terminations of operations effective December 31, 2016, Charter Campbell and Charter WNT also entered 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 Charter Aspect and are reported on a net basis in Charter Aspects Statements of Financial Condition. Prior to their respective terminations of operations effective December 31, 2016, Charter Campbell and Charter WNT were also subject to the offsetting of unrealized gains or losses and net basis reporting. |
The Partnerships have offset their unrealized gains or losses 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., the counterparty on such contracts. Charter Aspect has, and Charter Campbell and Charter WNT had, consistently applied their right to offset. |
l. | Investment Company Status. Effective January 1, 2014, the Partnerships adopted Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2013-08, Financial ServicesInvestment Companies (Topic 946): Amendments to the Scope, Measurement and Disclosure Requirements and based on the General Partners assessment, the Partnerships have been deemed to be investment companies since inception. Accordingly, Charter Aspect follows, and Charter Campbell and Charter WNT followed, the |
Morgan Stanley Smith Barney Charter Series
Notes to Financial Statements (liquidation basis for
Morgan Stanley Smith Barney Charter Campbell L.P. and
Morgan Stanley Smith Barney Charter WNT L.P.)
investment company accounting and reporting guidance of Topic 946. Additionally, Charter Aspect reflects, and Charter Campbell and Charter WNT reflected, their investments at fair value with unrealized gains and losses resulting from changes in fair value reflected in each Partnerships respective Statements of Income and Expenses. |
m. | Redemptions. Limited partners may redeem some or all of their Units in Charter Aspect at 100% of the net asset value per Unit. The request for redemptions must be delivered to a limited partners 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. Prior to December 31, 2016 (termination of operations for Charter Campbell and Charter WNT), limited partners of Charter Campbell and Charter WNT also had the right to redeem some or all of their Units in Charter Campbell and Charter WNT, respectively, at 100% of the net asset value per Unit. |
n. | Distributions. Distributions out of Charter Aspect, other than redemptions of Units, are made on a pro-rata basis at the sole discretion of Ceres. Prior to their respective terminations of operations effective December 31, 2016, distributions out of Charter Campbell and Charter WNT, respectively, would have also been made on a pro-rata basis at the sole discretion of Ceres. No distributions have been made to date for any of the Partnerships. Ceres does not or did not intend to make any distributions of the Partnerships profits. |
o. | Dissolution of the Partnerships. Charter Aspect will terminate on December 31, 2025, or at an earlier date if certain conditions occur as defined in Charter Aspects Limited Partnership Agreement. Charter Campbell and Charter WNT terminated operations on December 31, 2016. |
p. | Net Income (Loss) Per Unit. Net income (loss) per unit of limited partnership interest (Unit(s)) for Charter Aspect is calculated in accordance with ASC 946, Financial Services-Investment Companies. Net income (loss) per Unit for Charter Campbell and Charter WNT were also calculated in accordance with the aforementioned guidance. See Note 7, Financial Highlights. |
q. | 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 2016-01s 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 Charter Aspects financial statements and related disclosures. |
r. | Reclassification. Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to current period presentation. Amounts previously presented as net unrealized gain (loss) on open contracts in each Partnerships 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, amounts previously presented as futures and forward contracts purchased and futures and forward contracts sold in each Partnerships Condensed Schedules of Investments are now reported as futures contracts purchased, futures contracts sold, unrealized appreciation on open forward contracts and unrealized depreciation on open forward contracts, as applicable. |

3. | Trading Advisors: |
Ceres retains on behalf of Charter Aspect, and retained on behalf of Charter Campbell and Charter WNT, certain unaffiliated commodity trading advisors, which are registered with the Commodity Futures Trading Commission, to make all trading decisions for the Partnerships. The trading advisor for Charter Aspect and the respective trading advisors for Charter Campbell and Charter WNT prior to December 31, 2016 (termination of operations for Charter Campbell and Charter WNT), were as follows:
Charter Aspect
Aspect Capital Limited (Aspect)
Charter Campbell (Partnership in Liquidation)
Campbell
Charter WNT (Partnership in Liquidation)
Winton
Compensation to Aspect by Charter Aspect consists, and compensation to Campbell and Winton, respectively, by Charter Campbell and Charter WNT consisted, of a management fee and an incentive fee as follows:
Management Fee Charter Aspect pays Aspect a flat-rate monthly fee equal to 1/12th of 1.5% (a 1.5% annual rate) of Charter Aspects net assets under management by Aspect as of the first day of each month.
Prior to December 31, 2016 (termination of operations), Charter Campbell paid Campbell a flat-rate monthly fee equal to 1/12th of 1.5% (a 1.5% annual rate) of Charter Campbells net assets under management by Campbell as of the first day of each month.
Effective June 1, 2014, the management fee payable by Charter Campbell to Campbell was reduced from a monthly management fee rate equal to 1/12th of 2% (a 2% annual rate) per month of Charter Campbells net assets allocated to Campbell on the first day of each month to a monthly management fee rate equal to 1/12th of 1.5% (a 1.5% annual rate) per month of Charter Campbells net assets allocated to Campbell on the first day of each month.
Prior to December 31, 2016 (termination of operations), Charter WNT paid Winton a flat-rate monthly fee equal to 1/12th of 1.5% (a 1.5% annual rate) of Charter WNTs net assets under management by Winton as of the first day of each month.
Incentive Fee Charter Aspects incentive fee is equal to 20% of trading profits paid on a monthly basis. Prior to December 31, 2016 (termination of operations for Charter Campbell and Charter WNT), Charter Campbells and Charter WNTs respective incentive fees were also 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 brokerage, ongoing placement agent, management and General Partner fees, as applicable, are deducted. When Aspect experiences losses with respect to net assets as of the end of a calendar month, Aspect must recover such losses before Aspect is eligible for an incentive fee in the future. Prior to their respective terminations as trading advisors for Charter Campbell and Charter WNT effective December 31, 2016, Campbell and Winton also had to recover any possible losses experienced to have been eligible for an incentive fee. Aspects cumulative trading losses are adjusted on a pro-rated basis for the amount of each months redemptions. Prior to their respective terminations, Campbell and Winton were also subject to this adjustment.

4. | Financial Instruments: |
Charter Aspect trades, and Charter Campbell and Charter WNT traded, 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.
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. Charter Aspect has, and Charter Campbell and Charter WNT had, 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 gains (losses) amounts reflected in the respective Partnerships Statements of Financial Condition.
Charter Aspect has, and Charter Campbell and Charter WNT had, credit risk because MS&Co. acts or acted as the commodity futures broker or the counterparty, with respect to most of the respective Partnerships assets. Exchange-traded futures and exchange-traded forward contracts are or were fair valued on a daily basis, with variations in value settled on a daily basis. With respect to each Partnerships off-exchange-traded forward currency contracts, there are or were no daily settlements of variation in value, nor is or were there any requirement that an amount equal to the net unrealized gains (losses) on such contracts be segregated. However, Charter Aspect is, and Charter Campbell and Charter WNT were, required to meet margin requirements with the counterparty, which is or was 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 off-exchange-traded forward currency contracts, Charter Aspect is, and Charter Campbell and Charter WNT were, at risk to the ability of MS&Co., the sole counterparty on all such contracts, to perform. Charter Aspect 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 Charter Aspects and MS&Co.s exposure on off-exchange-traded forward currency contracts, including options on such contracts, should materially decrease Charter Aspects credit risk in the event of MS&Co.s bankruptcy or insolvency. Prior to their respective terminations effective December 31, 2016, Charter Campbell and Charter WNT were also subject to such netting agreements.
Charter Aspect does not, and Charter Campbell and Charter WNT did not, isolate the portion of the results of operations arising from the effect of changes in foreign exchange rates on investments from fluctuations form changes in market prices of investments held. Such fluctuations are included in total trading results in the respective Partnerships Statements of Income and Expenses.
The General Partner monitors and attempts to control Charter Aspects 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 Charter Aspect may be subject. These monitoring systems generally allow the General Partner to statistically analyze Charter Aspects actual trading results with risk adjusted performance indicators and correlation statistics. In addition, online monitoring systems provide account analysis of Charter Aspects futures, forward and option positions by sector, margin requirements, gain and loss transactions and collateral positions. Prior to their respective terminations of operations effective December 31, 2016, Charter Campbell and Charter WNT were also subject to such monitoring by the General Partner.

Notes to Financial Statements (liquidation basis for
Morgan Stanley Smith Barney Charter Campbell L.P. and
Morgan Stanley Smith Barney Charter WNT L.P.)
The Futures Interests traded, and 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 their 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.
5. | Trading Activities: |
Charter Aspects objective is to profit from speculative trading in Futures Interests. Prior to their terminations of operations effective December 31, 2016, Charter Campbell and Charter WNT also had the same objective. Therefore, Aspect will take, and Campbell and Winton took, speculative positions in Futures Interests where the respective trading advisor feels or felt that 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.
Charter Aspect

The monthly average number of metals forward contracts traded by Charter WNT during the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015 were 42 and 44, respectively.

* In the event of default by Charter Aspect, MS&Co., Charter Aspects commodity futures broker and/or the sole counterparty to Charter Aspects off-exchange-traded contracts, as applicable, has the right to offset Charter Aspects obligation with Charter Aspects 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., Charter Aspect is exposed to the amount shown in the Statements of Financial Condition. In the case of exchange-traded contracts, Charter Aspects exposure to counterparty risk may be reduced since the exchanges clearinghouse interposes its credit between buyer and seller and the clearinghouses guarantee fund may be available in the event of a default.

6. | 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, 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.
Charter Aspect considers, and Charter Campbell and Charter WNT considered, 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 (termination of operations for Charter Campbell and Charter WNT) 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 Partners 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 (termination of operations for Charter Campbell and Charter WNT) and 2015, there were no transfers of assets or liabilities between Level 1 and Level 2.
