JOINT PROXY STATEMENT

This statement is furnished by the Board of Directors (each a "Board" and collectively, the "Boards") of each of the funds listed above (each a "Fund" and collectively, the "Funds") in connection with the solicitation of Proxies by the Board of Directors for use at the Annual Meeting of Stockholders of each Fund (each a "Meeting" and collectively, the "Meetings") to be held on Wednesday, June 17, 2009, at the principal executive office of the investment adviser for each Fund, Morgan Stanley Investment Management Inc. (hereinafter, the "Adviser"), 522 Fifth Avenue, 3rd Floor, New York, New York 10036. It is expected that the Notice of Annual Meetings, Joint Proxy Statement and Proxy Card(s) will first be mailed to stockholders on or about May 7, 2009. The purpose of the Meetings, the matters to be acted upon and the commencement time of each Meeting are set forth in the accompanying Notice of Annual Meetings of Stockholders.

If the accompanying Proxy Card for a Fund is executed properly and returned, or is submitted by telephone or Internet, shares represented by it will be voted at the Meeting for that Fund in accordance with the instructions on the Proxy Card. A Proxy may be revoked at any time prior to the time it is voted (i) by written notice of revocation to the Secretary of the Fund or (ii) by attendance and voting at the Meeting of such Fund. Attendance at the Meetings will not in and of itself revoke a proxy. If no instructions are specified, shares will be voted FOR the election of the nominees for Directors of that Fund.

The Board has fixed the close of business on April 13, 2009 as the record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to notice of, and to vote at, the Meetings and at any adjournments thereof. On that date, the following number of shares of common stock of each Fund were outstanding and entitled to vote:

The cost of soliciting proxies for the Meeting, consisting principally of printing and mailing expenses, will be borne by each respective Fund. The solicitation of proxies will be by mail, which may be supplemented by solicitation by mail, telephone or otherwise through Directors and officers of the Funds or officers and regular employees of the Adviser, Morgan Stanley Investment Advisors Inc. ("Morgan Stanley Investment Advisors") and/or Morgan Stanley & Co. Incorporated ("Morgan Stanley & Co."), without special compensation therefor. In addition, each Fund may employ Computershare Fund Services, Inc. ("Computershare") to make telephone calls to stockholders to remind them to vote. Each Fund may also employ Computershare as proxy solicitor if it appears that the required number of votes to achieve a quorum will not be received. The transfer agent services for each Fund are currently provided by Computershare Trust Company N.A. (the "Transfer Agent").

Stockholders will be able to vote their shares on the Voting Information Card accompanying this Joint Proxy Statement, or over the Internet or by touchtone telephone by following the instructions on the Proxy Card. The Internet procedures are designed to authenticate a stockholder's identity to allow stockholders to vote their shares and confirm that their instructions have been properly recorded. To vote by touchtone telephone or by Internet, stockholders can call the toll-free number or access the website listed on the Proxy Card or noted in the enclosed voting instructions. To vote by touchtone telephone or by Internet, stockholders will need the control number that appears on the Proxy Card.

In certain instances, Computershare may call stockholders to ask if they would be willing to have their votes recorded by telephone. The telephone voting procedure is designed to authenticate stockholders' identities, to allow stockholders to authorize the voting of their shares in accordance with their instructions and to confirm that their instructions have been recorded properly. No recommendation will be made as to how a stockholder should vote on any proposal other than to refer to the recommendations of the Board. Each Fund has been advised by counsel that these procedures are consistent with the requirements of applicable law. Stockholders voting by telephone in this manner will be asked for identifying information and will be given an opportunity to authorize proxies to vote their shares in accordance with their instructions. To ensure that the stockholders' instructions have been recorded correctly, they will receive a confirmation of their instructions in the mail. A special toll-free number set forth in the confirmation will be available in case the information contained in the confirmation is incorrect. Although a stockholder's vote may be taken by telephone, each stockholder will receive a copy of this Joint Proxy Statement and may vote by mail using the enclosed Proxy Card or by Internet or touchtone telephone as set forth above. The last proxy vote received in time to be voted, whether by Internet, mailed Proxy Card or touchtone telephone, will be the vote that is counted and will revoke all previous votes

by the stockholder. In the event that Computershare is retained as proxy solicitor, Computershare will be paid a project management fee as well as telephone solicitation expenses incurred for reminder calls, outbound telephone voting, confirmation of telephone votes, inbound telephone contact, obtaining stockholders' telephone numbers and providing additional materials upon stockholder request, at an estimated cost of $2,000 per Fund, which would be borne by each Fund.

Each Fund will furnish, without charge, a copy of its annual report for its fiscal year ended December 31, 2008 (October 31, 2008 for EDD, FFD and TKF) to any stockholder of such Fund requesting such report. Requests for annual and/or semi-annual reports should be made in writing to the respective Fund, c/o JPMorgan Investor Services Co., P.O. Box 2798, Boston, Massachusetts 02208-2798, by calling 1-800-221-6726 or by visiting the Adviser's Internet website at www.morganstanley.com/im.

Morgan Stanley Investment Management Inc. serves as each Fund's administrator. JPMorgan Investor Services Co. also provides administrative services to the Funds. The business address of JPMorgan Investor Services Co. is 73 Tremont Street, Boston, Massachusetts 02108-2798.

This Joint Proxy Statement is being used in order to reduce the preparation, printing, handling and postage expenses that would result from the use of a separate proxy statement for each Fund. Shares of a Fund are entitled to one vote each at the respective Fund's Meeting and each fraction of a share will be entitled to the fraction of a vote equal to the proportion of a full share represented by the fractional share. To the extent information relating to common ownership is available to the Funds, a stockholder that owns record shares in two or more of the Funds will receive a package containing a Joint Proxy Statement and Proxy Cards for the Funds in which such stockholder is a record owner. If the information relating to common ownership is not available to the Funds, a stockholder that beneficially owns shares in two or more Funds may receive two or more packages each containing a Joint Proxy Statement and a Proxy Card for each Fund in which such stockholder is a beneficial owner. If the proposed election of Directors is approved by stockholders of one Fund and disapproved by stockholders of other Funds, the proposal will be implemented for the Fund that approved the proposal and will not be implemented for any Fund that did not approve the proposal. Thus, it is essential that stockholders complete, date, sign and return each enclosed Proxy Card or vote by telephone as indicated in each Fund's Proxy Card.

Only one Proxy Statement will be delivered to multiple stockholders sharing an address, unless a Fund has received contrary instructions. Each Fund will furnish, upon written or oral request, a separate copy of the Joint Proxy Statement to a stockholder at a shared address to which a single Joint Proxy Statement was delivered. Requests for a separate Joint Proxy Statement, and notifications to a Fund that a stockholder wishes to receive separate copies in the future, should be made in writing to the respective Fund, c/o JPMorgan Investor Services Co., P.O. Box 2798, Boston, Massachusetts 02208-2798, or by calling 1-800-221-6726. Multiple stockholders who are sharing an address and currently receiving multiple copies of periodic reports and proxy statements may request to receive only one copy of such reports and proxy statements by calling 1-800-221-6726.

The Board of Directors of each Fund unanimously recommends that you vote "FOR" the election of the nominees as Directors as set forth in Proposal No. 1 of the Notice of Annual Meetings. Your vote is important. Please return your Proxy Card promptly no matter how many shares you own.

ELECTION OF DIRECTORS
(Proposal No. 1)

At the Meetings, stockholders will be asked to consider the election of Directors to hold office for a term stated below and until their successors are duly elected and qualified. It is the intention of the persons named in the accompanying Proxy Cards to vote, on behalf of the stockholders, for the election of:

(i) Michael Bozic, Michael F. Klein and W. Allen Reed as Class II Directors for a term expiring in 2012, for all Funds except IIF; and

(ii) Randy Takian as a Class I Director for a term expiring in 2010, Gaetan Bouic and Ravindranath Santosh Kumar Hazareesing as Class II Directors for a term expiring in 2011 and Joseph J. Kearns and M.J. Marcel Vivian Descroizilles as Class III Directors for a term expiring in 2012, for IIF.

Pursuant to each Fund's By-Laws, the terms of office of the Directors are staggered. The Board of Directors of each Fund is divided into three classes, designated Class I, Class II and Class III, with each class having a term of three years. Each year the term of one class expires. With respect to all Funds other than IIF, Class I currently consists of Kathleen A. Dennis, Joseph J. Kearns, Michael E. Nugent and Fergus Reid. Class II currently consists of Michael Bozic, Michael F. Klein and W. Allen Reed. Class III currently consists of Frank L. Bowman, James F. Higgins and Manuel H. Johnson. Only the Directors in Class II are being considered for election at this Meeting with respect to all Funds other than IIF. With respect to IIF, Class I currently consists of Fergus Reid and Randy Takian. Class II currently consists of Gaetan Bouic and Ravindranath Santosh Kumar Hazareesing. Class III currently consists of Joseph J. Kearns and M.J. Marcel Vivian Descroizilles. Directors currently in Class I, Class II and Class III are being considered for election at this Meeting with respect to IIF.

Pursuant to each Fund's By-Laws, each Director holds office until (i) the expiration of his or her term and until his or her successor has been elected and qualified, (ii) his or her death, (iii) his or her resignation or (iv) his or her removal as provided by statute or the Articles of Incorporation. Each officer of the Funds will hold such office until his or her death or resignation or a successor has been duly elected and qualified.

Board Meetings and Committees

The Board of Directors of each Fund has a separately-designated standing Audit Committee established in accordance with Section 3(a)(58)(A) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"). Each Audit Committee is charged with recommending to the full Board the engagement or discharge of each Fund's independent registered public accounting firm; directing investigations into matters within the scope of the independent registered public accounting firm's duties, including the power to retain outside specialists; reviewing with the independent registered public accounting firm the audit plan and results of the auditing engagement; approving professional services provided by the independent registered public accounting firm and other accounting firms prior to the performance of the services; reviewing the independence of the independent registered public accounting firm; considering the range of audit and non-audit fees; reviewing the adequacy of each Fund's system of internal controls; reviewing the valuation process; and preparing and submitting committee meeting minutes to the full Board. Each Fund has adopted a formal, written Audit Committee Charter, which is attached hereto as Exhibit A.

The members of the Audit Committee of each Fund other than IIF are currently Joseph J. Kearns, Michael E. Nugent and W. Allen Reed. The members of IIF's Audit Committee are currently Gaetan Bouic, Joseph J. Kearns, Ravindranath Santosh Kumar Hazareesing, M.J. Marcel Vivian Descroizilles and Fergus Reid. None of the members of the Funds' Audit Committees is an "interested person," as defined

under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "1940 Act"), of any of the Funds (with such disinterested Directors being "Independent Directors" or individually, an "Independent Director"). Each Independent Director is also "independent" from each Fund as defined under the listing standards of the New York Stock Exchange, Inc. ("NYSE"). The Chairperson of the Audit Committee of all of the Funds is Joseph J. Kearns.

The Board of Directors of each Fund also has a Governance Committee. The Governance Committee identifies individuals qualified to serve as Independent Directors on each Fund's Board and on committees of such Board and recommends such qualified individuals for nomination by the Fund's Independent Directors as candidates for election as Independent Directors, advises each Fund's Board with respect to Board composition, procedures and committees, develops and recommends to each Fund's Board a set of corporate governance principles applicable to the Funds, monitors and makes recommendations on corporate governance matters and policies and procedures of each Fund's Board of Directors and any Board committees and oversees periodic evaluations of each Fund's Board and its committees. Each Fund has adopted a formal, written Governance Committee Charter, which was attached to the proxy statement for the Funds distributed in 2008. A further description of, among other things, the goals and responsibilities of the Governance Committee with respect to Board candidates and nominees and Board composition, procedures and committees can be found in the Governance Committee Charter for each Fund. The members of the Governance Committee of each Fund other than IIF are Kathleen A. Dennis, Michael F. Klein and Fergus Reid, each of whom is an Independent Director. The members of IIF's Governance Committee are currently Gaetan Bouic, Ravindranath Santosh Kumar Hazareesing, Joseph J. Kearns, M.J. Marcel Vivian Descroizilles and Fergus Reid, each of whom is an Independent Director. The Chairperson of each Fund's Governance Committee is Fergus Reid.

None of the Funds has a separate nominating committee. While each Fund's Governance Committee recommends qualified candidates for nominations as Independent Directors, the Board of Directors of each Fund believes that the task of nominating prospective Independent Directors is important enough to require the participation of all current Independent Directors, rather than a separate committee consisting of only certain Independent Directors. Accordingly, each current Independent Director (Frank L. Bowman, Michael Bozic, Kathleen A. Dennis, Manuel H. Johnson, Joseph J. Kearns, Michael F. Klein, Michael E. Nugent, W. Allen Reed and Fergus Reid, for all Funds other than IIF, and Gaetan Bouic, Joseph J. Kearns, Ravindranath Santosh Kumar Hazareesing, M.J. Marcel Vivian Descroizilles and Fergus Reid for IIF) participates in the election and nomination of candidates for election as Independent Directors for the respective Funds for which the Independent Director serves. Persons recommended by each Fund's Governance Committee as candidates for nomination as Independent Directors shall possess such knowledge, experience, skills, expertise and diversity so as to enhance the Board's ability to manage and direct the affairs and business of the Fund, including, when applicable, to enhance the ability of committees of the Board to fulfill their duties and/or to satisfy any independence requirements imposed by law, regulation or any listing requirements of the NYSE. While the Independent Directors of each of the Funds expect to be able to continue to identify from their own resources an ample number of qualified candidates for each Fund's Board as they deem appropriate, they will consider nominations from stockholders to the Board. Nominations from stockholders should be in writing and sent to the Independent Directors as described below under "Stockholder Communications."

The Board of each Fund (other than IIF) formed a Compliance and Insurance Committee to address insurance coverage and oversee the compliance function for the Fund and the Board. The Compliance and Insurance Committee of each Fund currently consists of Frank L. Bowman, Michael Bozic, James F. Higgins and Manuel H. Johnson. Frank L. Bowman, Michael Bozic and Manuel H. Johnson are

Independent Directors. Michael Bozic is the Chairperson of the Compliance and Insurance Committee of each Fund. The Compliance and Insurance Committee has a Sub-Committee to review and monitor the insurance coverage maintained by the Funds. The Chairperson of the Insurance Sub-Committee is Frank L. Bowman.

Each Fund (other than IIF) has an Investment Committee that oversees the portfolio investment process for and reviews the performance of the Fund. The Investment Committee also recommends to the Board to approve or renew the Fund's Investment Advisory and Administration Agreements. The members of the Investment Committee are Frank L. Bowman, Michael Bozic, Kathleen A. Dennis, James F. Higgins, Manuel H. Johnson, Joseph J. Kearns, Michael F. Klein, Michael E. Nugent, W. Allen Reed and Fergus Reid. The Chairperson of the Investment Committee of each Fund is Manuel H. Johnson.

The Investment Committee of each Fund (other than IIF) has three Sub-Committees, each with its own Chairperson. Each Sub-Committee focuses on the Funds' primary areas of investment, namely equities, fixed income and alternatives. The Sub-Committees and their members are as follows:

(1) Equity — W. Allen Reed (Chairperson), Frank L. Bowman and Michael E. Nugent.

(2) Fixed Income — Michael F. Klein (Chairperson), Michael Bozic and Fergus Reid.

(3) Money Market and Alternatives — Kathleen A. Dennis (Chairperson), James F. Higgins and Joseph J. Kearns.

During each Fund's fiscal year ended December 31, 2008 (October 31, 2008 for EDD, FFD and TKF), the Board of Directors held the following meetings:

	Number of meetings
	All Funds (except IIF, EDD, FFD and TKF)		IIF		EDD		FFD		TKF
Board of Directors		8		5		9		9		9
Committee/Sub-Committee:

Fixed Income Sub-Committee		7		N/A		7		7		7
Money Market and Alternatives Sub-Committee		5		N/A		5		5		5

For the 2008 fiscal year, each current Director attended at least seventy-five percent of the aggregate number of meetings of the Board and of any committee on which he or she served, held during the time such Director was a member of the Board. For annual stockholder meetings, Directors may, but are not required to, attend the meetings; and for each Fund's last annual stockholder meeting, none of the Directors attended the meeting.

Stockholder Communications

Stockholders may send communications to each Fund's Board of Directors. Stockholders should send communications intended for each Fund's Board by addressing the communication directly to that Board (or individual Board members) and/or otherwise clearly indicating in the salutation that the

communication is for the Board (or individual Board members) and by sending the communication to either the Fund's office or directly to such Board member(s) at the address specified for each Director below. Other stockholder communications received by the Funds not directly addressed and sent to the Boards will be reviewed and generally responded to by management, and will be forwarded to the Boards only at management's discretion based on the matters contained therein.

Each of the nominees for Director has consented to be named in this Joint Proxy Statement and to serve as a Director of the Funds if elected. The Board of Directors of each Fund has no reason to believe that any of the nominees named above will become unavailable for election as a Director, but if that should occur before the Meeting for that Fund, the persons named as proxies on the Proxy Cards will vote for such persons as the Board of Directors of the Fund may recommend.

⁽¹⁾ Includes the total amount of compensation deferred by the Director at his election pursuant to a deferred compensation plan. Such deferred compensation is placed in a deferral account and deemed to be invested in one or more of the Retail Funds or Institutional Funds (or portfolio thereof) that are offered as investment options under the plan.

Compensation of Directors and Officers

For each Fund (other than IIF), each Director (except for the Chairperson of the Boards) receives an annual retainer fee of $200,000 for serving the Retail Funds and the Institutional Funds. The Chairperson of the Audit Committee receives an additional annual retainer fee of $75,000 and the Investment Committee Chairperson receives an additional annual retainer fee of $60,000. Other Committee Chairpersons receive an additional annual retainer fee of $30,000 and the Sub-Committee Chairpersons receive an additional annual retainer fee of $15,000. The aggregate compensation paid to each Director is paid by the Retail Funds and the Institutional Funds, and is allocated on a pro rata basis among each of the operational funds/portfolios of the Retail Funds and the Institutional Funds based on the relative net assets of each of the funds/portfolios. Michael E. Nugent receives a total annual retainer fee of $400,000 for his services as Chairperson of the Boards of the Retail Funds and the Institutional Funds and for administrative services provided to each Board.

Prior to April 1, 2008, IIF paid each of its Mauritian Independent Directors an annual fee of $10,000 and all other Independent Directors an annual fee of $7,500. Additionally, each Mauritian Independent Director was paid a fee of $750 for each Board Meeting attended. Effective April 1, 2008, the Independent Directors of IIF receive an annual fee of $15,000.

Each Fund also reimburses Directors for travel and other out-of-pocket expenses incurred by them in connection with attending meetings of the Board. Directors of each Fund who are employed by the Adviser receive no compensation or expense reimbursement from the Funds for their services as Director.

Effective April 1, 2004, the Funds began a Deferred Compensation Plan (the "DC Plan"), which allows each Director to defer payment of all, or a portion, of the fees he or she receives for serving on the Board of Directors throughout the year. Each eligible Director generally may elect to have the deferred amounts credited with a return equal to the total return on one or more of the Retail Funds or Institutional Funds (or portfolios thereof) that are offered as investment options under the DC Plan. At the Director's election, distributions are either in one lump sum payment, or in the form of equal annual installments over a period of five years. The rights of an eligible Director and the beneficiaries to the amounts held under the DC Plan are unsecured and such amounts are subject to the claims of the creditors of each Fund.

Prior to April 1, 2004, the Institutional Funds maintained a similar Deferred Compensation Plan (the "Prior DC Plan"), which also allowed each Independent Director to defer payment of all, or a portion, of the fees he or she received for serving on the Board of Directors throughout the year. Generally, the DC Plan amends and supersedes the Prior DC Plan and all amounts payable under the Prior DC Plan are now subject to the terms of the DC Plan (except for amounts paid during the calendar year 2004, which remain subject to the terms of the Prior DC Plan).

Set forth below is a table showing the aggregate compensation paid by each Fund to each of its Directors, as well as the total compensation paid to each Director by all of the funds and by other U.S. registered investment companies advised by the Adviser or any investment companies that have an investment adviser that is an affiliated person of the Adviser (collectively, the "Fund Complex") for their services as Directors of such investment companies. In all cases, there were no pension or retirement benefits accrued as part of any fund's expenses. The amounts reflected in the following table include amounts paid by the Fund Complex for services rendered during the calendar year ended December 31,

2008 for each fund within the Fund Complex, regardless of whether such amounts were actually received by the Directors during such fiscal year.

⁽¹⁾ Includes all amounts paid for serving as director of the funds as well as serving as Chairperson of the Boards or a Chairperson of a Committee or Sub-Committee.

⁽²⁾ The amounts shown in this column represent the aggregate compensation before deferral with respect to the Funds' fiscal years, respectively. The following Directors deferred compensation from APF, RNE, MSD, MSF, MGB, MSY, LDF, MAY, TTF and TKF during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2008 (October 31, 2008 with regard to EDD, FDD and TKF): Mr. Bowman, $5,803; Mr. Kearns, $3,658; Mr. Reed, $5,803.

⁽³⁾ The amounts shown in this column represent the aggregate compensation paid by all of the funds in the Fund Complex as of December 31, 2008 before deferral by the Directors under the DC Plan. As of December 31, 2008, the value (including interest) of the deferral accounts across the Fund Complex for Messrs. Bowman, Kearns, Reed and Reid pursuant to the deferred compensation plan was $397,110, $761,543, $332,876 and $474,242, respectively. Because the funds in the Fund Complex have different fiscal year ends, the amounts shown in this column are presented on a calendar year basis.

The election of the nominees for election as Directors of each Fund requires the affirmative vote of a majority of the votes cast at a meeting at which a quorum is present. Under each Fund's By-Laws, except for TTF, the presence in person or by proxy of stockholders entitled to cast a majority of the votes entitled to be cast thereat shall constitute a quorum. Under the By-Laws of TTF, the presence in person or by proxy of stockholders entitled to cast one-third of the votes entitled to be cast thereat shall constitute a quorum. For this purpose, abstentions will be counted in determining whether a quorum is present at the Meeting, but will not be counted as votes cast at the Meeting.

The Board of Directors of each Fund recommends that you vote "FOR" the election of the nominees as Directors for that Fund set forth above.

SECTION 16(A) BENEFICIAL OWNERSHIP REPORTING COMPLIANCE

Based solely on a review of copies of such reports of ownership furnished to the Funds, the Funds believe that during the past fiscal year all of its officers, directors and greater than 10% beneficial holders complied with all applicable filing requirements.

Audit Committee Pre-approval

Each Fund's Audit Committee's policy is to review and pre-approve all auditing and non-auditing services to be provided to the Fund by the Fund's independent auditors. The Audit Committee Audit and Non-Audit Pre-Approval Policy and Procedures requires each Fund's Audit Committee to either generally pre-approve certain services without consideration of specific case-by-case services, or requires the specific pre-approval of services by the Audit Committee or its delegate. Under the Policy, unless a type of service has received general pre-approval, it will require specific pre-approval by the Audit Committee if it is to be provided by the independent auditors. Any services that are generally pre-approved may require specific pre-approval by the Audit Committee if the services exceed pre-approved cost levels or budgeted amounts. All of the audit, audit-related and the tax services described above for which Ernst & Young LLP billed each of the Funds fees for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2008 (October 31, 2008 for EDD, FFD and TKF) were pre-approved by the Audit Committee.

Aggregate Non-Audit Fees paid by the Adviser and Affiliated Entities

The aggregate fees billed for professional services rendered by Ernst & Young LLP for all other services provided to the Adviser and to any entities controlling, controlled by or under common control with the Adviser for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2008, and 2007 (October 31, 2008 and 2007 for EDD, FFD and TKF) amounted to $1,088,685 and $1,002,090, respectively. Such services for the 2008 and 2007 fiscal years included: (i) audit-related fees of $742,276 and $731,800, respectively, for the issuance of a report under Statement on Accounting Standards No. 70 titled "Reports on the Processing of Transactions by Service Organizations" and (ii) all other fees of $346,409 and $270,290, respectively, related to services such as performance attestation.

The Audit Committee of each Fund has considered whether the provision of non-audit services and the provision of services to affiliates of the Adviser is compatible with maintaining the independence of Ernst & Young LLP.

As such, it is not the duty or responsibility of the Audit Committee or its members to conduct "field work" or other types of auditing or accounting reviews or procedures. Each member of the Audit Committee shall be entitled to rely on (i) the integrity of those persons and organizations inside and outside the Fund from which the Audit Committee receives information and (ii) the accuracy of the financial, valuation and other information provided to the Audit Committee by such persons or organizations, absent actual knowledge to the contrary (which actual knowledge shall be promptly reported to the Board).

From time to time, the Audit Committee may delegate to the Chairperson or other designated Audit Committee member the responsibility to act, on an interim basis between meetings of the Audit Committee or Board, on audit and valuation related matters, including specifically, approval of annual financial statements, provided that the Audit Committee or Board is not required by this Charter or law to take such actions or is not prevented by this Charter or law from delegating such actions.

All other interim actions by the Chairperson or his/her designee will be submitted for ratification at the next meeting of the Audit Committee.

8. Minutes of Meetings; Reporting the Board

The Audit Committee shall cause to be made and kept minutes of its meetings. The Audit Committee shall report to the Board its activities, findings and recommendations.

9. Review of Charter

The Audit Committee shall review this Audit Committee Charter at least annually, and shall recommend any changes to the Board. This Audit Committee Charter may be amended only by the Board, with the approval of a majority of the independent Directors/Trustees.

Exhibit A-5

APPENDIX A

AUDIT COMMITTEE
AUDIT AND NON-AUDIT SERVICES
PRE-APPROVAL POLICY AND PROCEDURES
OF THE
MORGAN STANLEY RETAIL AND INSTITUTIONAL FUNDS

AS ADOPTED AND AMENDED JULY 23, 2004, ⁽²⁾

(5) Statement of Principles

The Audit Committee of the Board is required to review and, in its sole discretion, pre-approve all Covered Services to be provided by the Independent Auditors to the Fund and Covered Entities in order to assure that services performed by the Independent Auditors do not impair the auditor's independence from the Fund.

The SEC has issued rules specifying the types of services that an independent auditor may not provide to its audit client, as well as the audit committee's administration of the engagement of the independent auditor. The SEC's rules establish two different approaches to pre-approving services, which the SEC considers to be equally valid. Proposed services either: may be pre-approved without consideration of specific case-by-case services by the Audit Committee (" general pre-approval "); or require the specific pre-approval of the Audit Committee or its delegate (" specific pre-approval "). The Audit Committee believes that the combination of these two approaches in this Policy will result in an effective and efficient procedure to pre-approve services performed by the Independent Auditors. As set forth in this Policy, unless a type of service has received general pre-approval, it will require specific pre-approval by the Audit Committee (or by any member of the Audit Committee to which pre-approval authority has been delegated) if it is to be provided by the Independent Auditors. Any proposed services exceeding pre-approved cost levels or budgeted amounts will also require specific pre-approval by the Audit Committee.

The appendices to this Policy describe the Audit, Audit-related, Tax and All Other services that have the general pre-approval of the Audit Committee. The term of any general pre-approval is 12 months from the date of pre-approval, unless the Audit Committee considers and provides a different period and states otherwise. The Audit Committee will annually review and pre-approve the services that may be provided by the Independent Auditors without obtaining specific pre-approval from the Audit Committee. The Audit Committee will add to or subtract from the list of general pre-approved services from time to time, based on subsequent determinations.

The purpose of this Policy is to set forth the policy and procedures by which the Audit Committee intends to fulfill its responsibilities. It does not delegate the Audit Committee's responsibilities to pre-approve services performed by the Independent Auditors to management.

The Fund's Independent Auditors have reviewed this Policy and believes that implementation of the Policy will not adversely affect the Independent Auditors' independence.

⁽²⁾ This Audit Committee Audit and Non-Audit Services Pre-Approval Policy and Procedures (the " Policy "), adopted as of the date above, supersedes and replaces all prior versions that may have been adopted from time to time.

A-1

(6) Delegation

As provided in the Act and the SEC's rules, the Audit Committee may delegate either type of pre-approval authority to one or more of its members. The member to whom such authority is delegated must report, for informational purposes only, any pre-approval decisions to the Audit Committee at its next scheduled meeting.

(7) Audit Services

The annual Audit services engagement terms and fees are subject to the specific pre-approval of the Audit Committee. Audit services include the annual financial statement audit and other procedures required to be performed by the Independent Auditors to be able to form an opinion on the Fund's financial statements. These other procedures include information systems and procedural reviews and testing performed in order to understand and place reliance on the systems of internal control, and consultations relating to the audit. The Audit Committee will approve, if necessary, any changes in terms, conditions and fees resulting from changes in audit scope, Fund structure or other items.

In addition to the annual Audit services engagement approved by the Audit Committee, the Audit Committee may grant general pre-approval to other Audit services, which are those services that only the Independent Auditors reasonably can provide. Other Audit services may include statutory audits and services associated with SEC registration statements (on Forms N-1A, N-2, N-3, N-4, etc.), periodic reports and other documents filed with the SEC or other documents issued in connection with securities offerings.

The Audit Committee has pre-approved the Audit services in Appendix B.1. All other Audit services not listed in Appendix B.1 must be specifically pre-approved by the Audit Committee (or by any member of the Audit Committee to which pre-approval has been delegated).

(8) Audit-related Services

Audit-related services are assurance and related services that are reasonably related to the performance of the audit or review of the Fund's financial statements and, to the extent they are Covered Services, the Covered Entities or that are traditionally performed by the Independent Auditors. Because the Audit Committee believes that the provision of Audit-related services does not impair the independence of the auditor and is consistent with the SEC's rules on auditor independence, the Audit Committee may grant general pre-approval to Audit-related services. Audit-related services include, among others, accounting consultations related to accounting, financial reporting or disclosure matters not classified as "Audit services"; assistance with understanding and implementing new accounting and financial reporting guidance from rulemaking authorities; agreed-upon or expanded audit procedures related to accounting and/or billing records required to respond to or comply with financial, accounting or regulatory reporting matters; and assistance with internal control reporting requirements under Forms N-SAR and/or N-CSR.

The Audit Committee has pre-approved the Audit-related services in Appendix B.2. All other Audit-related services not listed in Appendix B.2 must be specifically pre-approved by the Audit Committee (or by any member of the Audit Committee to which pre-approval has been delegated).

(9) Tax Services

The Audit Committee believes that the Independent Auditors can provide Tax services to the Fund and, to the extent they are Covered Services, the Covered Entities, such as tax compliance, tax planning and tax advice without impairing the auditor's independence, and the SEC has stated that the Independent Auditors may provide such services.

A-2

Pursuant to the preceding paragraph, the Audit Committee has pre-approved the Tax Services in Appendix B.3. All Tax services in Appendix B.3 must be specifically pre-approved by the Audit Committee (or by any member of the Audit Committee to which pre-approval has been delegated).

(10) All Other Services

The Audit Committee believes, based on the SEC's rules prohibiting the Independent Auditors from providing specific non-audit services, that other types of non-audit services are permitted. Accordingly, the Audit Committee believes it may grant general pre-approval to those permissible non-audit services classified as All Other services that it believes are routine and recurring services, would not impair the independence of the auditor and are consistent with the SEC's rules on auditor independence.

The Audit Committee has pre-approved the All Other services in Appendix B.4. Permissible All Other services not listed in Appendix B.4 must be specifically pre-approved by the Audit Committee (or by any member of the Audit Committee to which pre-approval has been delegated).

(11) Pre-Approval Fee Levels or Budgeted Amounts

Pre-approval fee levels or budgeted amounts for all services to be provided by the Independent Auditors will be established annually by the Audit Committee. Any proposed services exceeding these levels or amounts will require specific pre-approval by the Audit Committee. The Audit Committee is mindful of the overall relationship of fees for audit and non-audit services in determining whether to pre-approve any such services.

(12) Procedures

All requests or applications for services to be provided by the Independent Auditors that do not require specific approval by the Audit Committee will be submitted to the Fund's Chief Financial Officer and must include a detailed description of the services to be rendered. The Fund's Chief Financial Officer will determine whether such services are included within the list of services that have received the general pre-approval of the Audit Committee. The Audit Committee will be informed on a timely basis of any such services rendered by the Independent Auditors. Requests or applications to provide services that require specific approval by the Audit Committee will be submitted to the Audit Committee by both the Independent Auditors and the Fund's Chief Financial Officer, and must include a joint statement as to whether, in their view, the request or application is consistent with the SEC's rules on auditor independence.

The Audit Committee has designated the Fund's Chief Financial Officer to monitor the performance of all services provided by the Independent Auditors and to determine whether such services are in compliance with this Policy. The Fund's Chief Financial Officer will report to the Audit Committee on a periodic basis on the results of its monitoring. Both the Fund's Chief Financial Officer and management will immediately report to the chairman of the Audit Committee any breach of this Policy that comes to the attention of the Fund's Chief Financial Officer or any member of management.

(13) Additional Requirements

The Audit Committee has determined to take additional measures on an annual basis to meet its responsibility to oversee the work of the Independent Auditors and to assure the auditor's independence from the Fund, such as reviewing a formal written statement from the Independent Auditors delineating all relationships between the Independent Auditors and the Fund, consistent with the PCAOB's Ethics and Independence Rule 3526, and discussing with the Independent Auditors its methods and procedures for ensuring independence.

A-3

(14) Covered Entities
