Item 7.
Item 7. MANAGEMENT?S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS Liquidity. The Partnership deposits its assets with Morgan Stanley DW as non-clearing broker, and MS & Co. and MSIL as clearing brokers in separate futures, forwards, and options trading accounts established for the Trading Advisor. Such assets are used as margin to engage in trading and may be used as margin solely for the Partnership?s trading. The assets are held in either non- interest bearing bank accounts or in securities and instruments permitted by the Commodity Futures Trading Commission for investment of customer segregated or secured funds. Since the Partnership?s sole purpose is to trade in futures, forwards, and options, it is expected that the Partnership will continue to own such liquid assets for margin purposes.
The Partnership?s investment in futures, forwards, and options may, from time to time, be illiquid. Most U.S. futures exchanges limit fluctuations in prices during a single day by regulations referred to as ?daily price fluctuations limits? or ?daily limits?. Trades may not be executed at prices beyond the daily limit. If the price for a particular futures or options contract has increased or decreased by an amount equal to the daily limit, positions in that futures or options contract can neither be taken nor liquidated unless traders are willing to effect trades at or within the limit. Futures prices have occasionally moved the daily limit for several consecutive days with little or no trading. These market conditions could prevent the Partnership from promptly liquidating its futures or options contracts and result in restrictions on redemptions.
There is no limitation on daily price moves in trading forward contracts on foreign currencies. The markets for some world currencies have low trading volume and are illiquid, which may prevent the Partnership from trading in potentially profitable markets or prevent the Partnership from promptly liquidating unfavorable positions in such markets, subjecting it to substantial losses. Either of these market conditions could result in restrictions on redemptions. For the periods covered by this report, illiquidity has not materially affected the Partnership?s assets.
There are no known material trends, demands, commitments, events, or uncertainties at the present time that are reasonably likely to result in the Partnership?s liquidity increasing or decreasing in any material way.
Capital Resources. The Partnership does not have, nor expects to have, any capital assets. Redemptions, exchanges, and sales of Units in the future will affect the amount of funds available for investments in futures, forwards, and options in subsequent periods. It is not possible to estimate the amount, and therefore the impact, of future inflows and outflows of Units. There are no known material trends, favorable or unfavorable, that would affect, nor any expected material changes to, the Partnership?s capital resource arrangements at the present time.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements and Contractual Obligations. The Partnership does not have any off-balance sheet arrangements, nor does it have contractual obligations or commercial commitments to make future payments that would affect its liquidity or capital resources.
Results of Operations. General. The Partnership?s results depend on the Trading Advisor and the ability of the Trading Advisor?s trading program to take advantage of price movements in the futures, forwards, and options markets. The following presents a summary of the Partnership?s operations for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2005 and a general discussion of its trading activities during each period. It is important to note, however, that the Trading Advisor trades in various markets at different times and that prior activity in a particular market does not mean that such market will be actively traded by the Trading Advisor or will be profitable in the future. Consequently, the results of operations of the Partnership are difficult to discuss other than in the context of the Trading Advisor's trading activities on behalf of the Partnership during the period in question. Past performance is no guarantee of future results.
The Partnership?s results of operations set forth in the Financial Statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, which require the use of certain accounting policies that affect the amounts reported in these Financial Statements, including the following: The contracts the Partnership trades are accounted for on a trade- date basis and marked to market on a daily basis. The difference between their cost and market value is recorded on the Statements of Operations as ?Net change in unrealized trading profit (loss)? for open (unrealized) contracts, and recorded as ?Realized trading profit (loss)? when open positions are closed out. The sum of these amounts constitutes the Partnership?s trading results. The market value of a futures contract is the settlement price on the exchange on which that futures contract is traded on a particular day. The value of foreign currency forward contracts is based on the spot rate as of the close of business. Interest income, as well as management fees, incentive fees, and brokerage fees expenses of the Partnership are recorded on an accrual basis.
Demeter believes that, based on the nature of the operations of the Partnership, no assumptions relating to the application of critical accounting policies other than those presently used could reasonably affect reported amounts.
The Partnership recorded total trading results including interest income totaling $3,201,162 and expenses totaling $4,264,531, resulting in a net loss of $1,063,369 for the year ended December 31, 2005. The Partnership?s net asset value per Unit decreased from $10.52 at December 31, 2004 to $10.46 at December 31, 2005. Total redemptions and subscriptions for the year were $19,199,933 and $5,806,303, respectively, and the Partnership?s ending capital was $46,131,541 at December 31, 2005, a decrease of $14,456,999 from ending capital at December 31, 2004 of $60,588,540.
The most significant trading gains of approximately 8.7% were experienced in the global stock index futures markets during February from long positions in Pacific Rim and European equity index futures as equity prices moved higher early in the month amid the elections in Iraq and lower-than-expected unemployment data out of the U.S. Pacific Rim equity index futures prices were also pushed higher when positive economic data painted a brighter picture of the Far East Region?s economy. Further gains were recorded from long positions in European and South African equity index futures during May and June as prices finished higher amid weakness in the euro and the South African rand. During July and September, gains resulted from long positions in Pacific Rim and European equity index futures. In July, long positions in Pacific Rim and European stock index futures benefited as prices increased on positive economic data out of the U.S. and Japan. Prices continued to strengthen after China reformed its U.S. dollar currency peg policy. Strong corporate earnings out of the European Union and the U.S. resulted in optimistic investor sentiment and also pushed prices higher. During September, long positions in Japanese stock index futures experienced gains as prices moved sharply higher on positive comments from Bank of Japan Governor Toshihiko Fukui, who said the Japanese economy was in the process of emerging from a soft patch. Additional gains resulted from long positions in European stock index futures as equity prices rose amid declining oil prices and as investors embraced signs that the global economy could move forward despite Hurricane Katrina's devastation of the U.S. Gulf Coast. Elsewhere in the global stock index futures markets, gains were experienced during July, September, November, and December from long positions in South African equity index futures as prices moved higher on continued strength in gold prices and optimism that the business climate in South Africa would continue to improve. In the metals markets, gains of approximately 3.3% were recorded from long futures positions in copper and zinc as prices trended higher throughout the year amid persistent demand from China. Additional gains were recorded, primarily during February, September, October, November, and December from long positions in gold futures as prices moved higher amid investors? concern for rising inflation and energy prices. Within the global interest rate futures markets, gains of approximately 1.3% were experienced during January and March from long positions in European bond futures as prices trended higher amid a steady stream of weak economic data from the major countries of the European Union. In May, further gains were recorded from long positions in European interest rate futures as prices increased early in the month as investors sought the safe-haven of fixed-income investments due to speculation that certain hedge funds may have experienced significant losses. Prices then continued to strengthen after European Central Bank representatives publicly rejected calls for increases in European interest rates and after French voters rejected the European Union constitution. During June, additional gains were recorded from long positions in European interest rate futures as prices trended higher throughout the month due to European Central Bank officials? decision to keep key interest rates unchanged. Within the energy markets, gains of approximately 1.2% were recorded during February and March from long futures positions in crude oil and its related products as prices trended higher amid news of increased demand from China, fears of terror attacks against production facilities in the Middle East, cold weather in the Northeastern U.S., and predictions from analysts at Goldman Sachs that oil prices could reach $105 a barrel. In June, gains were recorded from long positions as prices moved higher amid concerns that production facilities in Gulf of Mexico would be affected by a tropical storm and news of weak supply. During July, additional gains were recorded from long positions in crude oil and unleaded gasoline futures as prices surged during the first week of the month on possible supply disruptions from Hurricane Dennis. Prices continued to move higher towards the end of July after news of several refinery fires in Texas and Louisiana, declining U.S. inventories and passage by the U.S. Congress of President Bush?s energy bill. Finally, In August further gains were recorded from long futures positions in crude oil and its related products, and natural gas as prices climbed higher throughout the month on supply and demand concerns. After Hurricane Katrina struck the Gulf of Mexico, prices advanced further to touch record highs. A portion of the Partnership?s overall gains for the year was offset by losses of approximately 3.6% in the currency markets, primarily during January, from short U.S. dollar positions relative to the euro, South African rand, Japanese yen, Swiss franc, and Czech koruna as the value of the U.S. dollar reversed sharply higher in what many analysts described as a ?corrective? move after its decline during the fourth quarter of 2004. This increase in the value of the U.S. dollar was attributed to data released by the U.S. Treasury Department which showed November's investment inflows to the U.S. were ample to cover that month?s record trade deficit. Speculation that U.S. interest rates were likely to continue to rise, and fears that the re-evaluation of the Chinese yuan was farther away than expected, also boosted the U.S. dollar. Further losses in the currency markets were incurred during March from long positions in the Polish zloty versus the U.S. dollar, as the value of the Polish currency moved lower. Additional losses were experienced from long positions in the South African rand, Singapore dollar, and euro relative to the U.S. dollar as the value of the U.S. dollar reversed sharply higher leading up to and after the U.S. Federal Reserve's announcement of a quarter-point increase in the federal funds rate. During May, long positions in the euro against the U.S. dollar resulted in losses as the value of the U.S. dollar increased after China downplayed rumors of a move toward a flexible exchange rate. Later in the month, weak economic data and geopolitical uncertainty due to French voters rejecting the European Union constitution resulted in the value of the euro weakening further. Additional losses were incurred during December from long positions in the New Zealand dollar relative to the U.S. dollar as the value of the New Zealand dollar declined on weaker- than-expected economic growth data and investor confidence that further interest rate hikes from the Reserve Bank of New Zealand were unlikely. Additional losses of approximately 3.5% were recorded in the agricultural markets during the first and second quarter from positions in the soybean complex, wheat, corn, and cotton as prices moved without consistent direction amid conflicting news regarding supply and demand. Long futures positions in corn resulted in additional losses during July and August when prices declined after heavy rainfall in the U.S. growing regions and forecasts for increases in supply. Smaller losses during the third quarter were incurred from futures positions in the soybean complex and cotton.
The Partnership recorded total trading results including interest income totaling $562,037 and expenses totaling $5,022,077, resulting in a net loss of $4,460,040 for the year ended December 31, 2004. The Partnership?s net asset value per Unit decreased from $11.11 at December 31, 2003 to $10.52 at December 31, 2004. Total redemptions and subscriptions for the year were $21,209,420 and $21,382,002, respectively, and the Partnership?s ending capital was $60,588,540 at December 31, 2004, a decrease of $4,287,458 from ending capital at December 31, 2003 of $64,875,998.
The most significant trading losses of approximately 3.1% were experienced in the currency markets from positions in the Japanese yen versus the U.S. dollar. These losses were experienced throughout the year from both long and short positions in the yen relative to the U.S. dollar and the euro as the value of the yen experienced significant short-term price volatility due to conflicting economic data regarding a Japanese economic recovery, uncertainty regarding currency market interventions by the Bank of Japan, geopolitical concerns stemming from terror warnings and instability in Iraq, and speculation regarding the direction of U.S. and Japanese interest rates. Losses were also recorded from positions in the Singapore dollar against the U.S. dollar, primarily during the first and second quarter, as the value of the Singapore dollar experienced significant ?whipsawing? in tandem with the value of the Japanese yen. Elsewhere in the currency markets, losses were recorded from positions in the euro versus the U.S. dollar, primarily during the first quarter, as well as during July and August, as the value of the euro also moved in a trendless pattern due to conflicting economic data and volatility in oil prices. Within the global stock index markets, losses of approximately 2.4% were incurred during April, May, and July from long positions in European equity index futures as prices drifted lower amid the continuing instability in Iraq, fears of global terrorism and concerns of higher interest rates. Additional losses were recorded from positions in Pacific Rim equity index futures as prices moved without consistent direction for the aforementioned reasons, in addition to inconsistent earnings in the technology sector, conflicting news regarding a full recovery for Japan?s economy, and volatility in the energy markets. Smaller losses of approximately 0.3% were experienced in the metals markets from long futures positions in gold as precious metals prices weakened due to the sudden strength in the U.S. dollar during April. A portion of the Partnership?s overall losses for the year was offset by gains of approximately 2.7% in global interest rate futures markets from long positions in European interest rate futures during February, March, August, and September as prices rallied on uncertainty in the global equity markets, disappointing economic data, safe-haven buying amid major geopolitical concerns, and a surge in oil prices. Further gains from long positions in European interest rates were recorded in the fourth quarter as prices continued to trend higher for the aforementioned reasons, in addition to the rise in the value of the euro. Additional gains of approximately 2.4% were experienced in the energy markets. Long positions in crude oil and its related products profited as prices trended higher throughout a majority of the year due to consistent news of tight supply, continuing geopolitical concerns in the Middle East, concerns that top Russian oil producer, Yukos, may break up or stop selling oil, major production disruptions in the Gulf of Mexico, growing civil unrest in Nigeria, and the threat of a national strike in Norway. Smaller gains of approximately 0.6% were generated in the agricultural markets during March from long positions in corn futures as prices increased on news of strong demand from Asia. Further gains were experienced during July and August from short positions in corn futures as prices weakened due to ideal weather conditions in the growing regions of the U.S. Midwest, reports of increased inventories, and weaker export demand.
The Partnership recorded total trading results including interest income totaling $3,968,233 and expenses totaling $5,256,746, resulting in a net loss of $1,288,513 for the year ended December 31, 2003. The Partnership's net asset value per Unit decreased from $11.18 at December 31, 2002 to $11.11 at December 31, 2003. Total redemptions and subscriptions for the year were $8,236,758 and $30,121,428, respectively, and the Partnership's ending capital was $64,875,998 at December 31, 2003, an increase of $20,596,157 from ending capital at December 31, 2002 of $44,279,841.
The most significant trading gains of approximately 5.7% were recorded in the currency markets from long positions in the euro versus the U.S. dollar as the value of the U.S. dollar declined against the euro throughout a majority of the year due to geopolitical uncertainty, negative economic data, and the decision by the European Central Bank to leave interest rates unchanged. Additional gains were recorded from long positions in the Australian dollar, New Zealand dollar, and South African rand versus the U.S. dollar during much of the year as the value of these ?Commodity Currencies? increased versus the U.S. dollar on the heels of higher commodity prices and a significant interest rate differential between these countries and the U.S. Additional gains of approximately 3.6% were recorded in the global stock index futures markets from long positions in Pacific Rim and U.S. stock index futures as global equity prices moved higher throughout the latter half of the year due to continued optimism regarding a global economic recovery. Smaller gains of approximately 2.0% were recorded in the metals markets from long positions in gold futures as prices trended higher, ultimately climbing to a seven-year high in December due to weakness in the U.S. dollar and technically-based buying. Smaller gains were recorded from long copper positions during the fourth quarter. A portion of the Partnership?s overall gains for the year was offset by trading losses of approximately 2.1% in the agricultural markets from positions in corn futures as prices moved without consistent direction during the first three quarters of the year amid weather-related concerns throughout the U.S. Midwest. Additional losses of approximately 1.9% were recorded in the energy markets, primarily during October, as the Partnership entered the month with short natural gas positions which proved unprofitable as prices rallied during the first part of the month. In response to this rise in prices, the Partnership reversed its position from short to long, only to see prices decline in the latter part of the month. Additional losses were incurred in the energy sector from positions in crude oil futures as prices moved erratically during October in response to geopolitical and supply/demand factors. Additional losses were experienced during November as crude oil prices continued to trade in a volatile fashion, moving in one direction and then sharply reversing. In December, long futures positions in natural gas resulted in losses as prices fell sharply following mild temperatures across the U.S. and U.S. Department of Energy reports of increases in U.S. inventories that were much larger than expected.
For an analysis of unrealized gains and (losses) by contract type and a further description of 2005 trading results, refer to the Partnership?s Annual Report to Limited Partners for the year ended December 31, 2005, which is incorporated by reference to Exhibit 13.01 of this Form 10-K.
The Partnership?s gains and losses are allocated among its partners for income tax purposes.
Market Risk. Financial Instruments. The Partnership is a party to financial instruments with elements of off-balance sheet market and credit risk. The Partnership trades futures contracts, options on futures contracts, and forward contracts on physical commodities and other commodity interests, including, but not limited to, foreign currencies, financial instruments, metals, energy, and agricultural products. In entering into these contracts, the Partnership is subject to the market risk that such contracts may be significantly influenced by market conditions, such as interest rate volatility, resulting in such contracts being less valuable. If the markets should move against all of the positions held by the Partnership at the same time, and if the Trading Advisor was unable to offset positions of the Partnership, the Partnership could lose all of its assets and the limited partners would realize a 100% loss.
In addition to the Trading Advisor's internal controls, the Trading Advisor must comply with the Partnership?s trading policies that include standards for liquidity and leverage that must be maintained. The Trading Advisor and Demeter monitor the Partnership's trading activities to ensure compliance with the trading policies and Demeter can require the Trading Advisor to modify positions of the Partnership if Demeter believes they violate the Partnership's trading policies.
Credit Risk. In addition to market risk, in entering into futures, forward, and options contracts there is a credit risk to the Partnership that the counterparty on a contract will not be able to meet its obligations to the Partnership. The ultimate counterparty or guarantor of the Partnership for futures, forward, and options contracts traded in the United States and most foreign exchanges on which the Partnership trades is the clearinghouse associated with such exchange. In general, a clearinghouse is backed by the membership of the exchange and will act in the event of non- performance by one of its members or one of its member?s customers, which should significantly reduce this credit risk. There is no assurance that a clearinghouse, exchange, or other exchange member will meet its obligations to the Partnership, and Demeter and the commodity brokers will not indemnify the Partnership against a default by such parties. Further, the law is unclear as to whether a commodity broker has any obligation to protect its customers from loss in the event of an exchange or clearinghouse defaulting on trades effected for the broker?s customers. In cases where the Partnership trades off-exchange forward contracts with a counterparty, the sole recourse of the Partnership will be the forward contract?s counterparty.
Demeter deals with these credit risks of the Partnership in several ways. First, Demeter monitors the Partnership?s credit exposure to each exchange on a daily basis. The commodity brokers inform the Partnership, as with all their customers, of the Partnership?s net margin requirements for all its existing open positions, and Demeter has installed a system which permits it to monitor the Partnership?s potential net credit exposure, exchange by exchange, by adding the unrealized trading gains on each exchange, if any, to the Partnership?s margin liability thereon.
Second, the Partnership?s trading policies limit the amount of its Net Assets that can be committed at any given time to futures contracts and require a minimum amount of diversification in the Partnership?s trading, usually over several different products and exchanges. Historically, the Partnership?s exposure to any one exchange has typically amounted to only a small percentage of its total Net Assets and on those relatively few occasions where the Partnership?s credit exposure climbs above such level, Demeter deals with the situation on a case by case basis, carefully weighing whether the increased level of credit exposure remains appropriate. Material changes to the trading policies may be made only with the prior written approval of the limited partners owning more than 50% of Units then outstanding.
Third, with respect to forward contract trading, the Partnership trades with only those counterparties which Demeter, together with Morgan Stanley DW, have determined to be creditworthy. The Partnership presently deals with MS & Co. as the sole counterparty on forward contracts.
For additional information, see the ?Financial Instruments? section under ?Notes to Financial Statements? in the Partnership?s Annual Report to Limited Partners for the year ended December 31, 2005, which is incorporated by reference to Exhibit 13.01 of this Form 10-K.
Inflation has not been a major factor in the Partnership?s operations.
Item 7A.
Item 7A.QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK Introduction The Partnership is a commodity pool engaged primarily in the speculative trading of futures, forwards, and options. The market-sensitive instruments held by the Partnership are acquired for speculative trading purposes only and, as a result, all or substantially all of the Partnership?s assets are at risk of trading loss. Unlike an operating company, the risk of market- sensitive instruments is inherent to the primary business activity of the Partnership.
The futures, forwards, and options traded 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, forwards, and options are settled daily through variation margin. Gains and losses on off-exchange-traded forward currency contracts are settled upon termination of the contract, however, the Partnership is required to meet margin requirements equal to the net unrealized loss on open contracts in the Partnership accounts with the counterparty, which is accomplished by daily maintenance of the cash balance in a custody account held at Morgan Stanley DW for the benefit of MS & Co.
The Partnership?s total market risk may increase or decrease as it is influenced by a wide variety of factors, including, but not limited to, the diversification among the Partnership?s open positions, the volatility present within the markets, and the liquidity of the markets.
The face value of the market sector instruments held by the Partnership is typically many times the applicable margin requirements. Margin requirements generally range between 2% and 15% of contract face value. Additionally, the use of leverage causes the face value of the market sector instruments held by the Partnership to typically be many times the total capitalization of the Partnership.
The Partnership?s past performance is no guarantee of future results. Any attempt to numerically quantify the Partnership?s market risk is limited by the uncertainty of its speculative trading. The Partnership?s speculative trading and use of leverage may cause future losses and volatility (i.e., ?risk of ruin?) that far exceed the Partnership?s experiences to date under the ?Partnership?s Value at Risk in Different Market Sectors? section and significantly exceed the Value at Risk (?VaR?) tables disclosed.
Limited partners will not be liable for losses exceeding the current net asset value of their investment.
Quantifying the Partnership?s Trading Value at Risk The following quantitative disclosures regarding the Partner- ship?s market risk exposures contain ?forward-looking statements? within the meaning of the safe harbor from civil liability provided for such statements by the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 (set forth in Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934). All quantitative disclosures in this section are deemed to be forward-looking statements for purposes of the safe harbor, except for statements of historical fact.
The Partnership accounts for open positions on the basis of mark to market accounting principles. Any loss in the market value of the Partnership?s open positions is directly reflected in the Partnership?s earnings and cash flow.
The Partnership?s risk exposure in the market sectors traded by the Trading Advisor is estimated below in terms of VaR. The Partnership estimates VaR using a model based upon historical simulation (with a confidence level of 99%) which involves constructing a distribution of hypothetical daily changes in the value of a trading portfolio. The VaR model takes into account linear exposures to risks including equity and commodity prices, interest rates, foreign exchange rates, and correlation among these variables. The hypothetical changes in portfolio value are based on daily percentage changes observed in key market indices or other market factors (?market risk factors?) to which the portfolio is sensitive. The one-day 99% confidence level of the Partnership?s VaR corresponds to the negative change in portfolio value that, based on observed market risk factors, would have been exceeded once in 100 trading days, or one day in 100. VaR typically does not represent the worst case outcome. Demeter uses approximately four years of daily market data (1,000 observations) and re-values its portfolio (using delta-gamma approximations) for each of the historical market moves that occurred over this time period. This generates a probability distribution of daily ?simulated profit and loss? outcomes. The VaR is the appropriate percentile of this distribution. For example, the 99% one-day VaR would represent the 10th worst outcome from Demeter?s simulated profit and loss series.
The Partnership?s VaR computations are based on the risk representation of the underlying benchmark for each instrument or contract and do not distinguish between exchange and non-exchange dealer-based instruments. They are also not based on exchange and/or dealer-based maintenance margin requirements.
VaR models, including the Partnership?s, are continuously evolving as trading portfolios become more diverse and modeling techniques and systems capabilities improve. Please note that the VaR model is used to numerically quantify market risk for historic reporting purposes only and is not utilized by either Demeter or the Trading Advisor in their daily risk management activities. Please further note that VaR as described above may not be comparable to similarly-titled measures used by other entities.
The Partnership?s Value at Risk in Different Market Sectors The following table indicates the VaR associated with the Partnership?s open positions as a percentage of total Net Assets by primary market risk category at December 31, 2005 and 2004. At December 31, 2005 and 2004, the Partnership?s total capitalization was approximately $46 million and $61 million, respectively.
Primary Market December 31, 2005 December 31, 2004 Risk Category Value at Risk Value at Risk Equity					(2.57)%			 (1.86)%
Currency 		(1.60)			 (1.61)
Interest Rate 			(0.50) 		 	 (0.92) Commodity 				(0.70) 	 	 (0.45)
Aggregate Value at Risk 	(3.89)%			 (2.65)%
The VaR for a market category represents the one-day downside risk for the aggregate exposures associated with this market category. The Aggregate Value at Risk listed above represents the VaR of the Partnership?s open positions across all the market categories, and is less than the sum of the VaRs for all such market categories due to the diversification benefit across asset classes.
Because the business of the Partnership is the speculative trading of futures, forwards, and options, the composition of its trading portfolio can change significantly over any given time period, or even within a single trading day, which could positively or negatively materially impact market risk as measured by VaR.
The table below supplements the December 31, 2005 VaR set forth above by presenting the Partnership?s high, low, and average VaR, as a percentage of total Net Assets for the four quarter-end reporting periods from January 1, 2005 through December 31, 2005.
Primary Market Risk Category High Low Average Equity					 (2.57)%	 (2.11)%	 (2.38)%
Currency					 (1.60)	 (1.08)		 (1.28)
Interest Rate 				 (2.53)	 (0.50)		 (1.31)
Commodity					 (1.13)	 (0.70)		 (1.00)
Aggregate Value at Risk (3.89)%	 (3.01)%	 (3.39)%
Limitations on Value at Risk as an Assessment of Market Risk VaR models permit estimation of a portfolio?s aggregate market risk exposure, incorporating a range of varied market risks; reflect risk reduction due to portfolio diversification or hedging activities; and can cover a wide range of portfolio assets. However, VaR risk measures should be viewed in light of the methodology?s limitations, which include, but may not be limited to the following: *	past changes in market risk factors will not always result in accurate predictions of the distributions and correlations of future market movements; *	changes in portfolio value caused by market movements may differ from those of the VaR model;
*	VaR results reflect past market fluctuations applied to current trading positions while future risk depends on future positions; *	VaR using a one-day time horizon does not fully capture the market risk of positions that cannot be liquidated or hedged within one day; and *	the historical market risk factor data used for VaR estimation may provide only limited insight into losses that could be incurred under certain unusual market movements.
In addition, the VaR tables above, as well as the past performance of the Partnership, give no indication of the Partnership?s potential ?risk of ruin?.
The VaR tables provided present the results of the Partnership?s VaR for each of the Partnership?s market risk exposures and on an aggregate basis at December 31, 2004, and for the four quarter-end reporting periods during calendar year 2005. VaR is not necessarily representative of the Partnership?s historic risk, nor should it be used to predict the Partnership?s future financial performance or its ability to manage or monitor risk. There can be no assurance that the Partnership?s actual losses on a particular day will not exceed the VaR amounts indicated above or that such losses will not occur more than once in 100 trading days.
Non-Trading Risk The Partnership has non-trading market risk on its foreign cash balances. These balances and any market risk they may represent are immaterial.
The Partnership also maintains a substantial portion of its available assets in cash at Morgan Stanley DW; as of December 31, 2005, such amount is equal to approximately 92% of the Partnership net asset value. A decline in short-term interest rates would result in a decline in the Partnership?s cash management income. This cash flow risk is not considered to be material.
Materiality, as used throughout this section, is based on an assessment of reasonably possible market movements and any associated potential losses, taking into account the leverage, optionality, and multiplier features of the Partnership?s market- sensitive instruments, in relation to the Partnership?s Net Assets.
Qualitative Disclosures Regarding Primary Trading Risk Exposures The following qualitative disclosures regarding the Partnership?s market risk exposures ? except for (A) those disclosures that are statements of historical fact and (B) the descriptions of how the Partnership manages its primary market risk exposures ? constitute forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act. The Partnership?s primary market risk exposures, as well as the strategies used and to be used by Demeter and the Trading Advisor for managing such exposures, are subject to numerous uncertainties, contingencies and risks, any one of which could cause the actual results of the Partnership?s risk controls to differ materially from the objectives of such strategies. Government interventions, defaults and expropriations, illiquid markets, the emergence of dominant fundamental factors, political upheavals, changes in historical price relationships, an influx of new market participants, increased regulation and many other factors could result in material losses, as well as in material changes to the risk exposures and the risk management strategies of the Partnership. Investors must be prepared to lose all or substantially all of their investment in the Partnership.
The following were the primary trading risk exposures of the Partnership at December 31, 2005, by market sector. It may be anticipated, however, that these market exposures will vary materially over time.
Equity. The largest market exposure of the Partnership at December 31, 2005 was to the global stock index sector, primarily to equity price risk in the G-7 countries. The G-7 countries consist of France, the U.S., Britain, Germany, Japan, Italy, and Canada. The stock index futures traded by the Partnership are by law limited to futures on broadly-based indices. At December 31, 2005, the Partnership?s primary exposures were to the CAC 40 (France), DAX (Germany), Euro Stoxx 50 (Europe), FTSE 100 (United Kingdom), IBEX 35 (Spain), NASDAQ 100 (U.S.), Dow Jones (U.S.), S&P 500 (U.S.), Taiwan STX (Taiwan), TOPIX (Japan), Nikkei 225 (Japan), Russell 2000 (U.S.), Hang Seng (China), All Share (South Africa), and SPI 200 (Australia) stock indices. The Partnership is primarily exposed to the risk of adverse price trends or static markets in the European, U.S., Japanese, and Chinese stock indices. Static markets would not cause major market changes, but would make it difficult for the Partnership to avoid trendless price movements, resulting in numerous small losses.
Currency. The second largest market exposure of the Partnership at December 31, 2005 was to the currency sector. The Partnership?s currency exposure is to exchange rate fluctuations, primarily fluctuations which disrupt the historical pricing relationships between different currencies and currency pairs. Interest rate changes, as well as political and general economic conditions influence these fluctuations. The Partnership trades a large number of currencies, including cross-rates ? i.e., positions between two currencies other than the U.S. dollar. At December 31, 2005, the Partnership?s major exposures were to the euro, Canadian dollar, Japanese yen, Swiss franc, British pound, Australian dollar, Norwegian krone, Polish zloty, and Swedish krona currency crosses, as well as to outright U.S. dollar positions. Outright positions consist of the U.S. dollar vs. other currencies. These other currencies include major and minor currencies. Demeter does not anticipate that the risk associated with the Partnership?s currency trades will change significantly in the future.
Interest Rate. At December 31, 2005, the Partnership had market exposure to the global interest rate sector. Exposure was primarily spread across the U.S., European, Canadian, Japanese, and Australian interest rate sectors. Interest rate movements directly affect the price of the sovereign bond futures positions held by the Partnership and indirectly affect the value of its stock index and currency positions. Interest rate movements in one country, as well as relative interest rate movements between countries, materially impact the Partnership?s profitability. The Partnership?s interest rate exposure is generally to interest rate fluctuations in the U.S. and the other G-7 countries. However, the Partnership also takes futures positions in the government debt of smaller countries ? e.g., Australia. Demeter anticipates that the G-7 countries interest rates will remain the primary interest rate exposure of the Partnership for the foreseeable future. The speculative futures positions held by the Partnership may range from short to long-term instruments. Consequently, changes in short, medium, or long-term interest rates may have an effect on the Partnership
Commodity. Metals. At December 31, 2005, the Partnership had market exposure in the metals sector. The Partnership's metals exposure was to fluctuations in the price of base metals, such as lead, zinc, copper, aluminum, nickel, and tin and precious metals such as silver, gold, and platinum. Economic forces, supply and demand inequalities, geopolitical factors, and market expectations influence price movements in these markets. The Trading Advisor utilizes the trading system(s) to take positions when market opportunities develop, and Demeter anticipates that the Partnership will continue to do so.
Soft Commodities and Agriculturals. At December 31, 2005, the Partnership had market exposure to the markets that comprise these sectors. Most of the exposure was to the sugar, wheat, cotton, corn, live cattle, soybean oil, cocoa, soybean meal, coffee, and lean hogs markets. Supply and demand inequalities, severe weather disruptions, and market expectations affect price movements in these markets.
Energy. At December 31, 2005, the Partnership had market exposure in the energy sector. The Partnership?s energy exposure was primarily to futures contracts in crude oil and its related products. Price movements in these markets result from geopolitical developments, particularly in the Middle East, as well as weather patterns, and other economic fundamentals. Significant profits and losses, which have been experienced in the past, are expected to continue to be experienced in the future. Natural gas has exhibited volatility in price resulting from weather patterns and supply and demand factors and will likely continue in this choppy pattern.
Qualitative Disclosures Regarding Non-Trading Risk Exposure
The following was the only non-trading risk exposure of the Partnership at December 31, 2005:
Foreign Currency Balances. The Partnership?s primary foreign currency balances at December 31, 2005 were in euros, British pounds, Hong Kong dollars, Japanese yen, South African rand, Australia dollars, and Canadian dollars. The Partnership controls the non-trading risk of foreign currency balances by regularly converting them back into U.S. dollars upon liquidation of their respective positions.
Qualitative Disclosures Regarding Means of Managing Risk Exposure The Partnership and the Trading Advisor, separately, attempt to manage the risk of the Partnership?s open positions in essentially the same manner in all market categories traded. Demeter attempts to manage market exposure by diversifying the Partnership?s assets among different market sectors and trading approaches, and by monitoring the performance of the Trading Advisor daily. In addition, the Trading Advisor establishes diversification guidelines, often set in terms of the maximum margin to be committed to positions in any one market sector or market-sensitive instrument.
Demeter monitors and controls the risk of the Partnership?s non- trading instrument, cash. Cash is the only Partnership investment directed by Demeter, rather than the Trading Advisor.

Item 9A. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES (a)	As of the end of the period covered by this annual report, the President and Chief Financial Officer of Demeter, the general partner of the Partnership, have evaluated the effectiveness of the Partnership?s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Exchange Act), and have judged such controls and procedures to be effective.
(b)	There have been no material changes during the period covered by this annual report in the Partnership?s internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) of the Exchange Act or in other factors that could significantly affect these controls subsequent to the date of their evaluation.
Management?s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting Demeter is responsible for the management of the Partnership.
Management of Demeter (?Management?) is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting. The internal control over financial reporting is designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of Financial Statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.
The Partnership?s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that:
*	Pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the Partnership;
*	Provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of Financial Statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that the Partnership?s transactions are being made only in accordance with authorizations of Management and directors; and
*	Provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of the Partnership?s 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 assessed the effectiveness of the Partnership?s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2005. In making this assessment, Management used the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission in Internal Control-Integrated Framework. Based on our assessment and those criteria, Management believes that the Partnership maintained effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2005.
Deloitte & Touche LLP, the Partnership?s independent registered public accounting firm, has issued an attestation report on Management?s assessment of the Partnership?s internal control over financial reporting and on the effectiveness of the Partnership?s internal control over financial reporting. This report, which expresses an unqualified opinion on Management?s assessment and on the effectiveness of the Partnership?s internal control over financial reporting, appears under ?Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm? in the Partnership?s Annual Report to Limited Partners for the year ended December 31, 2005.

FACTORS INFLUENCING ANNUAL TRADING GAINS: .. In the global interest rate futures markets, gains were recorded during January from long positions in European bond futures as prices moved higher due to conflicting economic data out of the European Union and uncertainty in the equity markets. Further gains were recorded in March and April from long positions in European interest rate futures as prices strengthened due to weakness in the equity markets. During May, gains were recorded from long positions in European interest rate futures as prices increased early in the month as investors sought the safe-haven of fixed-income investments due to speculation that certain hedge funds may have experienced significant losses. Prices then continued to strengthen after European Central Bank representatives rejected calls for increases in European interest rates and French voters rejected the European Union constitution. During June, gains were recorded from long positions in European interest rate futures as prices trended higher due to European Central Bank officials' decision to keep key interest rates unchanged and the release of weak economic data. Later in June, long positions in European interest rate futures experienced further gains as prices continued to move higher after the Swedish Central Bank made a sharper cut in interest rates than had been expected.

FACTORS INFLUENCING ANNUAL TRADING GAINS: (continued)
.. In the currency markets, gains were experienced during March from short positions in the Japanese yen against the U.S. dollar as the value of the yen declined due to investor pessimism regarding the long-term future of the Japanese economy. Additional gains were experienced during May and June from short positions in the euro and Japanese yen relative to the U.S. dollar as the value of the U.S. dollar moved steadily higher after China downplayed rumors of a move toward a flexible exchange rate, the rejection of the European Constitution by French voters, data indicating a slowing in the euro-zone and Japanese economies, and the ninth consecutive quarter-point interest rate hike by the U.S. Federal Reserve. In July, gains were recorded from long U.S. dollar positions against the Japanese yen as the value of the U.S. dollar continued to move higher on news that the U.S. Current-Account deficit had narrowed. In September, additional gains were recorded from long U.S. dollar positions relative to the Japanese yen and the euro as the value of the U.S. dollar moved higher amid bolstered expectations that the U.S. Federal Reserve would most likely continue to raise interest rates. In addition, the value of the euro was pulled lower after the release of lower 2005 and 2006 growth estimates for the European economy and news that Germany's incumbent Chancellor, Gerhard Schroeder, refused to concede defeat to the opposition leader, Angela Merkel, in the days after the election. During the fourth quarter, long U.S. dollar positions relative to the Japanese yen and the euro recorded additional gains as the value of the U.S. dollar trended higher due to significant interest rate differentials between the U.S., Japan, and the European Union.
.. In the energy markets, gains were recorded from long positions in crude oil and its related products as prices trended higher during January, February, and March amid news of increased demand from China, fears of terror attacks against production facilities in the Middle East, cold weather in the Northeastern U.S., and predictions from analysts at Goldman Sachs that oil prices could reach $105 a barrel. Further gains were recorded during June from long positions as prices moved higher amid concerns that production facilities in Gulf of Mexico would be affected by a tropical storm and news of weak supply. Additional gains in the energy markets were recorded during August from long positions in crude oil, its related products, and natural gas futures as prices climbed higher throughout the month on supply and demand concerns. After Hurricane Katrina struck the Gulf of Mexico, prices advanced further to touch record highs. Finally, in December, long positions in crude oil resulted in gains as prices finished higher after news of a rebound in energy demand.
.. Within the metals markets, gains were experienced throughout a majority the year from long positions in copper futures as prices trended higher amid persistent demand from China.

FACTORS INFLUENCING ANNUAL TRADING LOSSES:
.. Within the global stock index futures markets, losses were recorded during January from long positions in U.S. equity index futures as prices finished lower amid weak consumer confidence data, concerns regarding U.S. interest rate policy and the potential for corporate profit growth to slow down. Further losses were experienced during March from long positions in U.S. equity index futures after prices moved lower early in the month amid concerns about the growing U.S. trade deficit, a weaker U.S. dollar, inflation fears, and a surge in crude oil prices. In April, long positions in U.S. stock index futures experienced losses as prices declined sharply towards the beginning of the month on concerns for economic growth. Weaker-than-expected U.S. Gross Domestic Product data, resulted in prices continuing their decline throughout the second half of April. Further losses in the global stock index futures markets were experienced in June from short positions in U.S. equity index futures as prices increased early in the month on optimism regarding the future of the U.S. economy. Newly established long positions in U.S. equity index futures resulted in additional losses as prices declined towards the end of the month on investor worries regarding high oil prices. Finally in October, losses were recorded from long positions in U.S. stock index futures as prices declined amid negative market sentiment, economic uncertainties due to the devastating effects of Hurricanes Katrina and Rita, and persistent warnings on U.S. inflation by the U.S. Federal Reserve.

FACTORS INFLUENCING ANNUAL TRADING LOSSES: .. In the currency markets, losses were recorded from positions in the euro relative to the British pound and the U.S. dollar. During January, long positions in the euro versus the British pound and the U.S. dollar incurred losses as the value of the euro reversed sharply lower in what many analysts described as a "corrective" move after its strong upward trend during the fourth quarter of 2004. This decline in the value of the euro was attributed to weak economic data out of the European Union and a rebound in the value of its main rival, the U.S. dollar. Additional losses were recorded during February and March from both long and short positions in the euro against these currencies as the value of the euro moved without consistent direction amid conflicting economic data out of Germany. Elsewhere in the currency markets, losses resulted from positions in the Singapore dollar, Swedish krona, South African rand, and Swiss franc relative to the U.S dollar, primarily during February and March. During August, further losses were incurred from long U.S. dollar positions against the euro, Swedish krona, and Swiss franc as the value of the U.S. dollar declined amid higher crude oil prices, lower durable goods orders data, the U.S. trade imbalance, and economic warnings from U.S. Federal Reserve Chairman Alan Greenspan. Smaller losses in August were experienced from long positions in the euro versus the British pound cross-rate as the value of the pound reversed higher against the euro. During September, losses were incurred from short U.S. dollar positions against the euro, Swiss franc, and Swedish krona as the value of the U.S. dollar increased on expectations that the U.S. Federal Reserve would most likely continue to raise interest rates.

FACTORS INFLUENCING ANNUAL TRADING LOSSES: (continued)
.. Additional losses were recorded in the global interest rate futures markets during March from short European interest rate futures positions as prices reversed higher amid strength in the euro towards the beginning of the month as investors feared that continued strength in the currency could restrict foreign exports. Prices were also pushed higher on the expectations that Europe would continue to maintain a low interest rate environment. Further losses were experienced during February from long positions in long-term U.S. interest rate futures as prices declined in response to strong global economic data and congressional testimony by U.S. Federal Reserve Chairman Alan Greenspan, which supported Wall Street expectations for additional interest rate hikes. During the third quarter, losses were recorded from both long and short positions in U.S., Australian, and European fixed-income futures as prices moved without consistent direction amid conflicting economic data, uncertainty regarding the future interest rate policy of the U.S. and the European Union, and volatility in energy prices.
FACTORS INFLUENCING ANNUAL TRADING GAINS: .. In the global stock index futures markets, gains were experienced during May, June, July, September, and November from long positions in European equity index futures as prices moved higher on strength in the technology sector, strong corporate earnings, and weakness in the euro. Elsewhere in global equity indices, gains were recorded during the fourth quarter from long positions in Japanese stock index futures as prices moved higher on a reduction in energy prices and general investor optimism about the future of the Japanese economy.
.. Additional gains were experienced in the energy markets during August from long futures positions in natural gas as prices climbed higher after Hurricane Katrina struck the U.S. Gulf Coast. Additional gains were experienced during September from long positions in natural gas as prices continued to strengthen in response to concern for the long-term effects on supplies in the Gulf of Mexico after Hurricane Katrina. Also pushing prices higher was anticipation of strong demand in the winter months and fears for the approach of Hurricane Rita and the additional damage it could have caused to output in the Gulf of Mexico.
.. Within the metals markets, gains were recorded during February, March, May, October, November, and December from long positions in copper, nickel, aluminum, and zinc futures as prices strengthened amid persistent demand from China.
.. Within the agricultural complex, gains were recorded during the fourth quarter from long positions in sugar futures as prices trended higher throughout the quarter in response to the European Union's refusal to amend its less-than-expected price reduction of sugar, favorable weather in global growing regions, and news that Brazil intended to use the majority of its sugar crop to produce ethanol.

.. Additional losses were recorded in the currency markets, primarily from positions in the euro relative to the Japanese yen, the U.S. dollar, and the British pound. During January, long positions in the euro versus most of its rivals incurred losses as the value of the euro reversed sharply lower in what many analysts described as a "corrective" move after its strong upward trend during the fourth quarter of 2004. This decline in the value of the euro was attributed to weak economic data out of the European Union. Additional losses were incurred during August from short positions in the euro versus the U.S. dollar, British pound, and Japanese yen as the value of the euro advanced against its major rivals in response to strong signals of euro-zone economic improvement. In December, short positions in the euro against the U.S. dollar resulted in losses as the value of the euro increased on the possibility that the European Central Bank could raise interest rates in 2006. Elsewhere in the currency markets, losses resulted from positions in the South African rand, New Zealand dollar, and Australian dollar relative to the U.S dollar primarily during January, as the value of the U.S. dollar moved erratically amid speculation that U.S. interest rates were likely to continue to rise and on fears that the re-evaluation of the Chinese yuan was farther away than expected. Additional losses were incurred during December from long positions in the New Zealand dollar relative to the U.S. dollar as the value of the New Zealand dollar declined on weaker-than-expected economic growth data and investor confidence that further interest rate hikes from the Reserve Bank of New Zealand were unlikely.
.. In the agricultural complex, losses were recorded primarily during April from long futures positions in wheat as prices fell in response to favorable weather in growing regions, improved crop conditions, and reduced foreign demand. Elsewhere in the agriculturals complex, losses were incurred from long positions in cotton futures during May as prices declined on news of weak demand in China. Smaller losses were experienced from positions in soybean meal futures through a majority of the year.
.. In the energy markets, losses were recorded during January from short futures positions in crude oil as prices moved higher amid speculation that OPEC would move to cut production later in the month and on forecasts for cold winter weather in the Northeastern U.S. In April, long futures positions in crude oil incurred losses after prices reversed lower as U.S. government data pointed to greater production activity by refiners and rising supplies. Prices were also pressured lower by the release of slower demand growth forecasts. Further losses were experienced during June, September, October, and December from both long and short positions in crude oil futures as prices moved without consistent direction amid conflicting news regarding supply and demand, as well as due to weather related factors.
MORGAN STANLEY CHARTER GRAHAM L.P.
FACTORS INFLUENCING ANNUAL TRADING GAINS: .. In the global stock index futures markets, gains were recorded during February from long positions in European and Japanese equity index futures as prices moved higher early in the month amid the elections in Iraq and lower-than-expected unemployment data out of the U.S. Equity prices in Japan were also pressured higher when positive economic data painted a brighter picture of the Far East Region's economy. In June, further gains were recorded from long positions in European equity index futures as prices rallied on the perception that weakness in the euro could stimulate the European economy. Prices were also bolstered by strong economic data out of the U.S. and news of a trade deal between the European Union and China that would avoid tariffs and manage the growth of Chinese textile imports to Europe through the end of 2008. During July, long positions in European and Japanese equity index benefited as prices increased on positive economic data out of the U.S. and Japan. Prices continued to strengthen after China reformed its U.S. dollar currency peg policy, leading market participants to conclude that a re-valuation in the Chinese yuan would likely ease trade tensions between China, the U.S., Europe, and Japan. In September, long positions in Japanese stock index futures experienced gains as prices moved sharply higher on positive comments from Bank of Japan Governor Toshihiko Fukui, who said the Japanese economy was in the process of emerging from a soft patch as demonstrated by rising production, improving business sentiment, and a sustained upturn in consumer spending. Additional gains resulted from long positions in European stock index futures amid declining oil prices and as investors embraced signs that the global economy could move forward despite Hurricane Katrina's devastation of the U.S. Gulf Coast. Finally, long positions in Japanese and European stock index futures experienced gains in December as prices increased due to a decline in energy prices and anticipation that a strong holiday shopping season would improve the retail sectors of the European and Japanese economies. Further affecting the value of Japanese equity prices was strong investor optimism that the Japanese economy will continue to improve in 2006. Within European stock indices, prices were pressured higher on possibility of an end to U.S. interest rate increases.
.. Within the metals markets, gains were recorded from long futures positions in copper and zinc as prices trended higher throughout a majority of the year on persistent demand from China.

Additional gains were recorded, primarily during February, September, October, November, and December, from long positions in gold futures as prices moved higher amid investors' concern for rising inflation and energy prices.
.. Within the global interest rate futures markets, gains were experienced during January and March from long positions in European bond futures as prices trended higher amid a steady stream of weak economic data from the major countries of the European Union. In May, further gains were recorded from long positions in European interest rate futures as prices increased early in the month as investors sought the safe-haven of fixed-income investments due to speculation that certain hedge funds may have experienced significant losses.

FACTORS INFLUENCING ANNUAL TRADING LOSSES:
.. In the currency markets, losses were recorded primarily during January, from short U.S. dollar positions relative to the euro, South African rand, Japanese yen, Swiss franc, and Czech koruna as the value of the U.S. dollar reversed sharply higher in what many analysts described as a "corrective" move after its decline during the fourth quarter of 2004. This increase in the value of the U.S. dollar was attributed to data released by the U.S. Treasury Department which showed November's investment inflows to the U.S. were ample to cover that month's record trade deficit. Speculation that U.S. interest rates were likely to continue to rise, and fears that the re-evaluation of the Chinese yuan was farther away than expected, also boosted the U.S. dollar. Further losses in the currency markets were incurred during March from long positions in the Polish zloty versus the U.S. dollar, as the value of the Polish currency moved lower. Additional losses were experienced from long positions in the South African rand, Singapore dollar, and euro relative to the U.S. dollar as the value of the U.S. dollar reversed sharply higher leading up to and after the U.S. Federal Reserve's announcement of a quarter-point increase in the federal funds rate. During May, long positions in the euro against the U.S. dollar resulted in losses as the value of the U.S. dollar increased after China downplayed rumors of a move toward a flexible exchange rate. Later in the month, weak economic data and geopolitical uncertainty due to French voters rejecting the European Union constitution resulted in the value of the euro weakening further. Additional losses were incurred during December from long positions in the New Zealand dollar relative to the U.S. dollar as the value of the New Zealand dollar declined on weaker-than-expected economic growth data and investor confidence that further interest rate hikes from the Reserve Bank of New Zealand were unlikely.
.. Additional losses were recorded in the agricultural markets during the first and second quarters from positions in the soybean complex, wheat, corn, and cotton as prices moved without consistent direction amid conflicting news regarding supply and demand. Long futures positions in corn resulted in additional losses during July and August when prices declined after heavy rainfall in the U.S. growing regions and forecasts for increases in supply. Smaller losses during the third quarter were incurred from futures positions in the soybean complex and cotton.

Management of Demeter ("Management") is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting. The internal control over financial reporting is designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.
The Partnerships' internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that:
.. Pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the Partnerships;
.. Provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that the Partnerships' transactions are being made only in accordance with authorizations of Management and directors; and
.. Provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection 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.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Limited Partners and the General Partner of Morgan Stanley Charter Campbell L.P., Morgan Stanley Charter MSFCM L.P., Morgan Stanley Charter Graham L.P., and Morgan Stanley Charter Millburn L.P.:
We have audited management's assessment, included in the accompanying Management's Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting, that Morgan Stanley Charter Campbell L.P., Morgan Stanley Charter MSFCM L.P., Morgan Stanley Charter Graham L.P., and Morgan Stanley Charter Millburn L.P. (collectively, the "Partnerships") maintained effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2005, based on criteria established in Internal Control--Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. The Partnerships' management is responsible for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on management's assessment and an opinion on the effectiveness of the Partnerships' internal control over financial reporting based on our audit.
We conducted our audit 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 effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. Our audit included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, evaluating management's assessment, testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control, and performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinions.
A company's internal control over financial reporting is a process designed by, or under the supervision of, the company's principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, and effected by the company's board of directors, management, and other personnel to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company's internal control over financial reporting includes those
policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company's assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.
Because of the inherent limitations of internal control over financial reporting, including the possibility of collusion or improper management override of controls, material misstatements due to error or fraud may not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. Also, projections of any evaluation of the effectiveness of the internal control over financial reporting to future periods are subject to the risk that the controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
In our opinion, management's assessment that the Partnerships maintained effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2005, is fairly stated, in all material respects, based on the criteria established in Internal Control--Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. Also in our opinion, the Partnerships maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2005, based on the criteria established in Internal Control--Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission.
We have also audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2005 of the Partnerships and our report dated March 21, 2006 expressed an unqualified opinion on those financial statements.

MORGAN STANLEY CHARTER SERIES
REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Limited Partners and the General Partner of Morgan Stanley Charter Campbell L.P., Morgan Stanley Charter MSFCM L.P., Morgan Stanley Charter Graham L.P., and Morgan Stanley Charter Millburn L.P. :
We have audited the accompanying statements of financial condition of Morgan Stanley Charter Campbell L.P., Morgan Stanley Charter MSFCM L.P., Morgan Stanley Charter Graham L.P., and Morgan Stanley Charter Millburn L.P. (collectively, the "Partnerships"), including the schedules of investments, as of December 31, 2005 and 2004, and the related statements of operations, changes in partners' capital, and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2005. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Partnerships' management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, such financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Morgan Stanley Charter Campbell L.P., Morgan Stanley Charter MSFCM L.P., Morgan Stanley Charter Graham L.P., and Morgan Stanley Charter Millburn L.P. at December 31, 2005 and 2004, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2005 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
As discussed in Note 1, in 2005 the Partnerships modified their classification of cash within the statements of financial condition and the related statements of cash flows.
We have also audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the effectiveness of the Partnerships' internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2005, based on the criteria established in Internal Control--Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission and our report dated March 21, 2006 expressed an unqualified opinion on management's assessment of the effectiveness of the Partnerships' internal control over financial reporting and an unqualified opinion on the effectiveness of the Partnerships' internal control over financial reporting.

- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
ORGANIZATION. Morgan Stanley Charter Campbell L.P. ("Charter Campbell"), Morgan Stanley Charter MSFCM L.P. ("Charter MSFCM"), Morgan Stanley Charter Graham L.P. ("Charter Graham"), and Morgan Stanley Charter Millburn L.P. ("Charter Millburn") (individually, a "Partnership", or collectively, the "Partnerships") are limited partnerships organized to engage primarily in the speculative trading of futures contracts, options on futures contracts, and forward contracts on physical commodities and other commodity interests, including, but not limited to, foreign currencies, financial instruments, metals, energy, and agricultural products (collectively, "Futures Interests"). The general partner for each Partnership is Demeter Management Corporation ("Demeter"). The non-clearing commodity broker is Morgan Stanley DW Inc. ("Morgan Stanley DW"). The clearing commodity brokers are Morgan Stanley & Co. Incorporated ("MS&Co.") and Morgan Stanley & Co. International Limited ("MSIL"). Effective January 2006, for Charter Campbell, Morgan Stanley Capital Group Inc. ("MSCG") acts as the counterparty on all of the options on foreign currency forward contracts. The trading advisor for Charter MSFCM is VK Capital Inc. ("VK Capital" or the "Trading Advisor"), formerly, Morgan Stanley Futures & Currency Management Inc. Demeter, Morgan Stanley DW, MS&Co., MSIL, MSCG, and VK Capital are wholly-owned subsidiaries of Morgan Stanley. Effective April 28, 2005, Morgan Stanley Futures & Currency Management Inc. changed its name to VK Capital Inc. Demeter is required to maintain a 1% minimum interest in the equity of each Partnership and income (losses) are shared by Demeter and the limited partners based on their proportional ownership interests.
USE OF ESTIMATES. The financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, which require management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts in the financial statements and related disclosures. Management believes that the estimates utilized in the preparation of the financial statements are prudent and reasonable. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
MORGAN STANLEY CHARTER SERIES
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)
REVENUE RECOGNITION. Futures Interests are open commitments until settlement date, at which time they are realized. They are valued at market on a daily basis and the resulting net change in unrealized gains and losses is reflected in the change in unrealized trading profit (loss) on open contracts from one period to the next on the Statements of Operations. Monthly, Morgan Stanley DW credits each Partnership with interest income on 100% of its average daily funds held at Morgan Stanley DW. In addition, Morgan Stanley DW credits each Partnership with 100% of the interest income Morgan Stanley DW receives from MS&Co. and MSIL with respect to such Partnership's assets deposited as margin. The interest rates used are equal to that earned by Morgan Stanley DW on its U.S. Treasury bill investments. For purposes of such interest payments, Net Assets do not include monies owed to the Partnerships on forward contracts and other Futures Interests. The Partnerships' functional currency is the U.S. dollar; however, they transact business in currencies other than the U.S. dollar. Assets and liabilities denominated in currencies other than the U.S. dollar are translated into U.S. dollars at the rates in effect at the date of the Statements of Financial Condition. Income and expense items denominated in currencies other than the U.S. dollar are translated into U.S. dollars at the rates in effect during the period. Gains and losses resulting from the translation to U.S. dollars are reported in income currently.
NET INCOME (LOSS) PER UNIT. Net income (loss) per unit of limited partnership interest ("Unit(s)") is computed using the weighted average number of Units outstanding during the period.
CONDENSED SCHEDULES OF INVESTMENTS. In December 2003, the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants' Accounting Standards Executive Committee issued Statement of Position 03-4 ("SOP 03-4") "Reporting Financial Highlights and Schedule of Investments by Nonregistered Investment Partnerships: An Amendment to the Audit and Accounting Guide Audits Of Investment Companies and AICPA Statement of Position 95-2, Financial Reporting By Nonpublic Investment Partnerships". SOP 03-4 requires commodity pools to disclose the number of contracts, the contracts' expiration dates, and the cumulative unrealized gains/(losses) on open futures contracts, when the cumulative unrealized gains/(losses) on an open futures contract exceeds 5% of
MORGAN STANLEY CHARTER SERIES
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)
Net Assets, taking long and short positions into account separately. SOP 03-4 also requires ratios for net investment income/(losses), expenses before and after incentive fees, and net income/(losses) based on average net assets, and ratios for total return before and after incentive fees based on average units outstanding to be disclosed in Financial Highlights. SOP 03-4 was effective for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2003.
EQUITY IN FUTURES INTERESTS TRADING ACCOUNTS. The Partnerships' asset "Equity in futures interests trading accounts", reflected on the Statements of Financial Condition, consists of (A) cash on deposit with Morgan Stanley DW, MS&Co., and MSIL to be used as margin for trading; (B) net unrealized gains or losses on open contracts, which are valued at market and calculated as the difference between original contract value and market value; and (C) net option premiums, which represent the net of all monies paid and/or received for such option premiums. The Partnerships, in their normal course of business, enter into various contracts with MS&Co. and MSIL acting as their commodity brokers. Pursuant to brokerage agreements with MS&Co. and MSIL, to the extent that such trading results in unrealized gains or losses, these amounts are offset and reported on a net basis on the Partnerships' Statements of Financial Condition. The Partnerships have offset the fair value amounts recognized for forward contracts executed with the same counterparty as allowable under the terms of their master netting agreements with MS&Co., the sole counterparty on such contracts. The Partnerships have consistently applied their right to offset.
BROKERAGE AND RELATED TRANSACTION FEES AND COSTS. Each Partnership currently pays a flat-rate monthly brokerage fee of 1/12 of 6.00% of the Partnership's Net Assets as of the first day of each month (a 6.00% annual rate). Such fees currently cover all brokerage fees, transaction fees and costs, and ordinary administrative and offering expenses. From August 1, 2002 to June 30, 2005, each Partnership paid a flat-rate monthly brokerage fee of 1/12 of 6.25% of the Partnership's Net Assets as of the first day of each month (a 6.25% annual rate).
MORGAN STANLEY CHARTER SERIES
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)
OPERATING EXPENSES. The Partnerships incur monthly management fees and may incur an incentive fee. All common administrative and continuing offering expenses including legal, auditing, accounting, filing fees, and other related expenses are borne by Morgan Stanley DW through the brokerage fees paid by the Partnerships.
CONTINUING OFFERING. Units of each Partnership are offered at a price equal to 100% of the Net Asset Value per Unit at monthly closings held as of the last day of each month. No selling commissions or charges related to the continuing offering of Units are paid by the limited partners or the Partnerships. Morgan Stanley DW pays all such costs.
REDEMPTIONS. Limited partners may redeem some or all of their Units at 100% of the Net Asset Value per Unit as of the end of the last day of any month that is at least six months after the closing at which a person first becomes a limited partner. The Request for Redemption must be delivered to a limited partner's local Morgan Stanley Branch Office in time for it to be forwarded and received by Demeter no later than 3:00 p.m., New York City time, on the last day of the month in which the redemption is to be effective. Redemptions must be made in whole Units, with a minimum of 100 Units required for each redemption, unless a limited partner is redeeming his entire interest in a particular Partnership. Units redeemed on or prior to the last day of the twelfth month from the date of purchase will be subject to a redemption charge equal to 2% of the Net Asset Value of a Unit on the Redemption Date. Units redeemed after the last day of the twelfth month and on or prior to the last day of the twenty-fourth month from the date of purchase will be subject to a redemption charge equal to 1% of the Net Asset Value of a Unit on the Redemption Date. Units redeemed after the last day of the twenty-fourth month from the date of purchase will not be subject to a redemption charge. The foregoing redemption charges are paid to Morgan Stanley DW.
MORGAN STANLEY CHARTER SERIES
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)
EXCHANGES. On the last day of the first month which occurs more than six months after a person first becomes a limited partner in any of the Partnerships, and at the end of each month thereafter, limited partners may exchange their investment among the Partnerships (subject to certain restrictions outlined in the Limited Partnership Agreements) without paying additional charges.
DISTRIBUTIONS. Distributions, other than redemptions of Units, are made on a pro-rata basis at the sole discretion of Demeter. No distributions have been made to date. Demeter does not intend to make any distributions of the Partnerships' profits.
INCOME TAXES. No provision for income taxes has been made in the accompanying financial statements, as partners are individually responsible for reporting income or loss based upon their respective share of each Partnership's revenues and expenses for income tax purposes.
DISSOLUTION OF THE PARTNERSHIPS. Charter MSFCM will terminate on December 31, 2025 and Charter Campbell, Charter Graham, and Charter Millburn will terminate on December 31, 2035 or at an earlier date if certain conditions occur as defined in each Partnership's Limited Partnership Agreement.
LITIGATION SETTLEMENT. On February 27, 2002, Charter MSFCM received notification of a preliminary entitlement to payment from the Sumitomo Copper Litigation Settlement Administrator, and Charter MSFCM received settlement award payments in the amount of $292,406 during August 2002, $2,880 during July 2004 and $3,661 during November 2005. Any amounts received are accounted for in the period received, for the benefit of the limited partners at the date of receipt.
RECLASSIFICATIONS. Certain prior year amounts relating to cash balances were reclassified on the Statements of Financial Condition and the related Statements of Cash Flows to conform to 2005 presentation. Such reclassifications have no impact on the Partnerships' reported net income (loss).
MORGAN STANLEY CHARTER SERIES
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)
- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS Each Partnership pays brokerage fees to Morgan Stanley DW as described in Note 1. Each Partnership's cash is on deposit with Morgan Stanley DW, MS&Co., and MSIL in futures interests trading accounts to meet margin requirements as needed. Morgan Stanley DW pays interest on these funds as described in Note 1. Demeter, on behalf of Charter MSFCM and itself, entered into a Management Agreement with VK Capital to make all trading decisions for the Partnership. Charter MSFCM pays management and incentive fees (if any) to VK Capital.
- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 3. TRADING ADVISORS Demeter, on behalf of each Partnership, retains certain commodity trading advisors to make all trading decisions for the Partnerships. The trading advisors for each Partnership at December 31, 2005 were as follows: Morgan Stanley Charter Campbell L.P. Campbell & Company, Inc.
Morgan Stanley Charter MSFCM L.P. VK Capital Inc.
Morgan Stanley Charter Graham L.P. Graham Capital Management, L.P.
Morgan Stanley Charter Millburn L.P. Millburn Ridgefield Corporation Compensation to the trading advisors by the Partnerships consists of a management fee and an incentive fee as follows:
MANAGEMENT FEE. Charter MSFCM, Charter Graham, and Charter Millburn each pay its trading advisor a flat-rate monthly fee equal to 1/12 of 2% (a 2% annual rate) of the Partnership's Net Assets under management by each trading advisor as of the first day of each month. Charter Campbell pays its trading advisor a flat-rate monthly fee equal to 1/12 of 2.65% (a 2.65% annual rate) of the Partnership's Net Assets under management as of the first day of each month. Prior to August 1, 2003, Charter Campbell paid a flat-rate monthly fee equal to 1/12 of 2.75% (a 2.75% annual rate) of the Partnership's Net Assets under management as of the first day of each month.
MORGAN STANLEY CHARTER SERIES
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)
INCENTIVE FEE. Each Partnership's incentive fee is equal to 20% of trading profits, paid on a quarterly basis for Charter MSFCM, and paid on a monthly basis for Charter Campbell, Charter Graham, and Charter Millburn. Trading profits represent the amount by which profits from futures, forwards, and options trading exceed losses after brokerage and management fees are deducted. When a trading advisor experiences losses with respect to Net Assets as of the end of a calendar month, or calendar quarter with respect to Charter MSFCM, the trading advisor must recover such losses before that trading advisor is eligible for an incentive fee in the future.
- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 4. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS The Partnerships trade Futures Interests. Futures and forwards represent contracts for delayed delivery of an instrument at a specified date and price. Risk arises from changes in the value of these contracts and the potential inability of counterparties to perform under the terms of the contracts. There are numerous factors which may significantly influence the market value of these contracts, including interest rate volatility. The market value of exchange-traded contracts is based on the settlement price quoted by the exchange on the day with respect to which market 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 shall be the settlement price on the first subsequent day on which the contract could be liquidated. The market value of off-exchange-traded contracts is based on the fair market value quoted by the counterparty. The Partnerships' contracts are accounted for on a trade-date basis and marked to market on a daily basis. Each Partnership accounts for its derivative investments in accordance with the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities" ("SFAS No. 133"). SFAS No. 133 defines a derivative as a financial instrument or other contract that has all three of the following characteristics:
(1)One or more underlying notional amounts or payment provisions;
MORGAN STANLEY CHARTER SERIES
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)
(2)Requires no initial net investment or a smaller initial net investment than would be required relative to changes in market factors;
(3)Terms require or permit net settlement.
Generally, derivatives include futures, forward, swaps or options contracts, and other financial instruments with similar characteristics such as caps, floors, and collars. The net unrealized gains (losses) on open contracts at December 31, reported as a component of "Equity in futures interests trading accounts" on the Statements of Financial Condition, and their longest contract maturities were as follows:

CHARTER GRAHAM

MORGAN STANLEY CHARTER SERIES
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)
The Partnerships have credit risk associated with counterparty nonperformance. As of the date of the financial statement, the credit risk associated with the instruments in which the Partnerships trade is limited to the amounts reflected in the Partnerships' Statements of Financial Condition. The Partnerships also have credit risk because Morgan Stanley DW, MS&Co., MSIL, and/or MSCG act as the futures commission merchants or the counterparties, with respect to most of the Partnerships' assets. Exchange-traded futures, forward, and futures-styled options contracts are marked to market on a daily basis, with variations in value settled on a daily basis. Morgan Stanley DW, MS&Co., and MSIL, each as a futures commission merchant for each Partnership's exchange-traded futures, forward, and futures-styled options contracts, are required, pursuant to regulations of the Commodity Futures Trading Commission, to segregate from their own assets, and for the sole benefit of their commodity customers, all funds held by them with respect to exchange-traded futures, forward, and futures-styled options contracts, including an amount equal to the net unrealized gains (losses) on all open futures, forward and futures-styled options contracts, which funds, in the aggregate, totaled $396,667,080 and $270,748,488 for Charter Campbell, $146,564,699 and $219,055,260 for Charter MSFCM, $427,198,898 and $477,195,064 for Charter Graham, and $48,872,400 and $60,797,909 for Charter Millburn at December 31, 2005 and 2004, respectively. With respect to each Partnership's off-exchange-traded forward currency contracts, there are no daily exchange-required settlements of variation in value, nor is there any requirement that an amount equal to the net unrealized gains (losses) on open forward contracts be segregated. However, each Partnership is required to meet margin requirements equal to the net unrealized loss on open contracts in the Partnership accounts with the counterparty, which is accomplished by daily maintenance of the cash balance in a custody account held at Morgan Stanley DW for the benefit of MS&Co. With respect to those off-exchange-traded forward currency contracts, the Partnerships are at risk to the ability of MS&Co., the sole counterparty on all such contracts, to perform. Each Partnership has a netting agreement with MS&Co. These agreements, which seek to reduce both the Partnerships' and MS&Co.'s exposure on off- exchange-traded forward currency contracts, should materially decrease the Partnerships' credit risk in the event of MS&Co.'s bankruptcy or insolvency.
