Item 5. MARKET FOR THE REGISTRANT'S PARTNERSHIP UNITS AND
RELATED SECURITY HOLDER MATTERS

(a) Market Information
There is no established public trading market for Units of the
Partnership.

(b) Holders
The number of holders of Units at December 31, 2001 was
approximately 10,005.

(c) Distributions

month at a price equal to 100% of the net asset value per Unit as
of the date of such monthly closing.

Through December 31, 2001, 12,007,230.085 Units were sold, leaving
6,992,769.915 Units unsold at December 31, 2001. The aggregate

price of the Units sold through December 31, 2001 was
$132,030,659.

Since no expenses are chargeable against proceeds, 100% of the
proceeds of the offering have been applied to the working capital
of the Partnership for use in accordance with the "Use of
Proceeds" section of the Prospectus and the Supplement.

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
accounts established for each Trading Advisor, which assets are
used as margin to engage in 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. The
Partnership's assets held by the commodity brokers may be used as
margin solely for the Partnership's trading. 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.

The Partnership has never had illiquidity affect a material
portion of its assets.

Capital Resources. The Partnership does not have, nor expect to
have, any capital assets. Redemptions, exchanges and sales of
additional Units in the future will affect the amount of funds
available for investment in futures, forwards, and options in
subsequent periods. It is not possible to estimate the amount and
therefore the impact of future redemptions of Units.

Results of Operations.
General. The Partnership's results depend on the Trading Advisors
and the ability of each Trading Advisor's trading programs to take
advantage of price movements or other profit opportunities in the
futures, forwards, and options markets. The following presents a
summary of the Partnership's operations for the three years ended
December 31, 2001, and a general discussion of its trading
activities during each period. It is important to note, however,
that the Trading Advisors trade 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 Advisors
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 Advisors' trading activities on
behalf of the Partnership and how the Partnership has performed in
the past.

At December 31, 2001, the Partnership's total capital was
$68,817,386, a decrease of $5,417,063 from the Partnership's total
capital of $74,234,449 at December 31, 2000. For the year ended
December 31, 2001, the Partnership generated a net loss of
$480,543, total subscriptions aggregated $9,249,482 and total
redemptions aggregated $14,186,002.

For the year ended December 31, 2001, the Partnership recorded
total trading revenues, including interest income, of $6,855,809

and after expenses, posted a decrease in net asset value per Unit.
The most significant losses of approximately 5.5% were recorded
in the currency markets throughout a majority of the fourth
quarter from transactions involving the euro and Swiss franc. In
the global stock index futures markets, losses of approximately
2.2% were experienced throughout a majority of the first quarter
from long positions in U.S. stock index futures as U.S. stock
prices declined after discouraging corporate earnings warnings,
inflationary news and on worries of a U.S. economic slowdown. In
the metals markets, losses of approximately 1.8% were incurred
primarily during October and November from long gold futures
positions as prices reversed lower on the heels of sharp gains in
the U.S. stock market. A portion of the Partnership's overall
losses was partially offset by gains of approximately 13.1%
recorded in the soft commodities markets primarily during
September and November from long cocoa futures positions as
prices soared higher on expectations that global demand will
outpace production. Additional gains were recorded primarily
during April, May and December from long lumber futures positions
as prices increased amid low inventories and on hopes of a pickup
in the U.S. economy. In the global interest rate futures
markets, gains of approximately 5.4% were recorded throughout a
majority of the first quarter from long positions in eurodollar
futures as prices rose amid a rattled stock market, shaky
consumer confidence, positive inflation data and interest rate

cuts by the U.S. Federal Reserve. During September and October,
profits were recorded from long positions in U.S. and European
interest rate futures as prices continued trending higher amid
continued concerns for the sluggish U.S. economy, interest rate
cuts by the U.S. Federal Reserve and as investors sought a safe-
haven from declining stock prices. Total expenses for the year
were $7,336,352, resulting in a net loss of $480,543. The net
asset value of a Unit decreased from $10.61 at December 31, 2000
to $10.55 at December 31, 2001.

At December 31, 2000, the Partnership's total capital was
$74,234,449, a decrease of $33,458,072 from the Partnership's
total capital of $107,692,521 at December 31, 1999. For the year
ended December 31, 2000, the Partnership generated a net loss of
$36,887,290, total subscriptions aggregated $17,601,488 and total
redemptions aggregated $14,172,270.

For the year ended December 31, 2000, the Partnership recorded
total trading losses, net of interest income, of $26,938,961 and
posted a decrease in net asset value per Unit. The most
significant losses of approximately 16.0% were recorded in the
global stock index futures markets from short positions in U.S.
stock index futures as domestic equity prices moved higher in
early January on fears of an interest rate hike and reports of a
major corporate merger. Additional losses were recorded during
February from short positions in NASDAQ 100 Index futures as the

NASDAQ Index climbed higher on strength in computer-chip maker
and biotechnology companies. During the first half of September
and November, additional losses were incurred from long positions
in U.S. stock index futures as prices declined due to jitters in
the technology sector and a worrisome spike in oil prices. In
the metals markets, losses of approximately 14.6% were incurred
primarily from long positions in aluminum and copper futures as
prices moved lower in February and March due primarily to
technically based selling, falling prices of other base metals
and the softening of oil prices. Additional losses were recorded
during April, late May, early June and October from long
positions in aluminum and copper futures as prices declined after
concerns mounted that demand would weaken amid a cooling of the
U.S. economy. In soft commodities, losses of approximately 11.5%
were experienced primarily during June, throughout a majority of
the third quarter and December from long positions in lumber
futures as prices declined amid weak demand and abundant
supplies. Additional losses were experienced during January,
February and early April from long coffee futures positions as
coffee prices declined in the wake of forecasts for a bumper crop
in Brazil and on technically based selling. In the currency
markets, losses of approximately 8.9% were recorded primarily
during January, February and July from long positions in the euro
as the value of the European common currency weakened versus the
U.S. dollar due to skepticism regarding Europe's economic

outlook. During mid-September, additional losses were
experienced from short positions in the euro as its value reversed
sharply and suddenly higher versus the U.S. dollar after the
world's major central banks carried out coordinated intervention
to buy euros. Losses were also experienced during April from long
positions in the Japanese yen as the value of the yen weakened
versus the U.S. dollar amid fears of additional Bank of Japan
intervention. During May and June, losses were recorded from
short positions in the Japanese yen as the value of the U.S.
dollar weakened versus the yen due primarily to the perception
that interest rates in the U.S. may have topped out. A portion of
the Partnership's overall losses was partially offset by gains of
approximately 18.9% recorded primarily during January in the
energy markets from long futures positions in crude oil and its
refined products as oil prices increased on growing speculation
that Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) would
extend production cuts beyond the deadline of March 2000.
Additional gains were recorded during March from short positions
in crude oil futures as prices declined after OPEC effectively
restored production levels to their year-earlier level.
Additional gains were recorded early in May from long futures
positions in crude oil as oil prices increased amid concerns over
tight gasoline supplies and after comments from OPEC ministers who
saw no need to raise supplies further. Profits were also recorded
primarily during May from long positions in natural gas futures as
prices continued their upward trend, as data released

by the American Gas Association further confirmed fears that
inventory levels remain low. During August, November and
December, additional gains were recorded from long positions in
natural gas futures as prices moved higher amid supply and
storage concerns. Total expenses for the year were $9,948,329,
resulting in a net loss of $36,887,290. The net asset value of a
Unit decreased from $15.85 at December 31, 1999 to $10.61 at
December 31, 2000.

At December 31, 1999, the Partnership's total capital was
$107,692,521, an increase of $37,270,746 from the Partnership's
total capital of $70,421,775 at December 31, 1998. For the year
ended December 31, 1999, the Partnership generated net income of
$28,129,070, total subscriptions aggregated $16,946,544 and total
redemptions aggregated $7,804,868.

For the year ended December 31, 1999, the Partnership recorded
total trading revenues, including interest income, of $39,555,618
and posted an increase in net asset value per Unit. The
Partnership produced significantly profitable performance results
based on three primary themes: energy prices rose from their low
levels of January; gold substantially increased in value late in
the third quarter; and global stock indices appreciated during
the fourth quarter. Based on these themes, the Trading Advisors
in the Partnership emphasized exposure to long energy, gold and
stock index futures positions appropriately throughout 1999. In

the energy markets, significant gains of approximately 34.71%
were recorded primarily from long futures positions in crude oil
and its refined products, unleaded gas, heating oil and gas oil,
as prices climbed higher during March following an agreement
reached by both OPEC and non-OPEC countries to cut total output
beginning April 1st. Oil prices continued to move higher
throughout the third quarter due to declining supplies,
increasing demand and evidence that output cuts were being
adhered to. Gains of approximately 25.06% were recorded in the
metals markets primarily from long positions in gold futures as
gold prices soared during September following the Bank of
England's second gold auction and an announcement by several
European central banks stating that they were to restrict the
sales of gold reserves for five years. Additional gains were
recorded from long copper futures positions as copper prices
soared during mid-April on a wave of fund buying and during June
on news that a major U.S. producer would cut back production.
Copper prices also moved higher during August and September
resulting in profits for the Partnership's long positions. Not
all forecasts for the Partnership's Trading Advisors came to
fruition last year. Losses of approximately 14.70% were recorded
in the currency markets primarily during January from long
Japanese yen positions after an intervention by the Bank of Japan
boosted the U.S. dollar against the yen and helped ease concerns
about the impact of a strong yen on Japanese exports. Losses
were also recorded during March from short Japanese yen positions

as the value of the yen increased versus the U.S. dollar amid new
signs that Japan's economy may be on the mend. Additional losses
were recorded from short Japanese yen positions during June and
July as its value reached a 5-1/2 month high versus the U.S.
dollar due to inflationary pressures in the United States and
optimistic prospects for economic growth in Japan. Total
expenses for the year were $11,426,548, resulting in net income of
$28,129,070. The net asset value of a Unit increased from $11.55
at December 31, 1998 to $15.85 at December 31, 1999.

The Partnership's overall performance record represents varied
results of trading in different futures, forwards, and options
markets. For a further description of 2001 trading results, refer
to the letter to the Limited Partners in the accompanying Annual
Report to Limited Partners for the year ended December 31, 2001,
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.

Credit Risk.
Financial Instruments. The Partnership is a party to financial
instruments with elements of off-balance sheet market and credit
risk. The Partnership may trade futures, forwards, and options
in interest rates, stock indices, commodities, currencies,
petroleum and precious metals. 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 Advisors were unable to offset positions
of the Partnership, the Partnership could lose all of its assets
and investors would realize a 100% loss.

In addition to the Trading Advisors' internal controls, the
Trading Advisors must comply with the trading policies of the
Partnership. These trading policies include standards for
liquidity and leverage with which the partnership must comply.
The Trading Advisors and Demeter monitor the Partnership's
trading activities to ensure compliance with the trading
policies. Demeter may require the Trading Advisors to modify
positions of the Partnership if Demeter believes they violate the
Partnership's trading policies.

In addition to market risk, in entering into futures, forwards,
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 contracts traded in the
United States and the 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. For example, a
clearinghouse may cover a default by drawing upon a defaulting
member's mandatory contributions and/or non-defaulting members'
contributions to a clearinghouse guarantee fund, established
lines or letters of credit with banks, and/or the clearinghouse's
surplus capital and other available assets of the exchange and
clearinghouse, or assessing its members. In cases where the
Partnership trades off-exchange forward contracts with a
counterparty, the sole recourse of the Partnership will be the
forward contracts counterparty.

There is no assurance that a clearinghouse, exchange or 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. Any
such obligation on the part of a broker appears even less clear
where the default occurs in a non-U.S. jurisdiction.

Demeter deals with these credit risks of the Partnership in
several ways. First, it monitors the Partnership's credit
exposure to each exchange on a daily basis, calculating not only
the amount of margin required for it but also the amount of its
unrealized gains at each exchange, if any. The commodity brokers
inform the Partnership, as with all their customers, of its net
margin requirements for all its existing open positions, but do
not break that net figure down, exchange by exchange. Demeter,
however, has installed a system which permits it to monitor the
Partnership's potential margin liability, exchange by exchange.
As a result, Demeter is able to monitor the Partnership's
potential net credit exposure to each exchange by adding the
unrealized trading gains on that 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, in addition, a minimum amount of
diversification in the Partnership's trading, usually over
several different products. One of the aims of such trading
policies has been to reduce the credit exposure of the
Partnership to a single exchange and, historically, the
Partnership's exposure to any one exchange has typically amounted
to only a small percentage of its total net assets. On those
relatively few occasions where the Partnership's credit exposure

may climb 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.

Inflation has not been a major factor in the Partnership's
operations.

in the Partnership's Annual Report to Limited Partners for the
year ended December 31, 2001, which is incorporated by reference
to Exhibit 13.01 of this Form 10-K.

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 central, not incidental, to the
Partnership's main business activities.

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. Fluctuations in market risk based
upon these factors result in frequent changes in the fair value
of the Partnership's open positions, and, consequently, in its
earnings and cash flow.

The Partnership's total market risk is influenced by a wide
variety of factors, including the diversification among the
Partnership's open positions, the volatility present within the
markets, and the liquidity of the markets. At different times,
each of these factors may act to increase or decrease the market
risk associated with the Partnership.

The Partnership's past performance is not necessarily indicative
of its 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 may

cause future losses and volatility (i.e. "risk of ruin") that far
exceed the Partnership's experiences to date or any reasonable
expectations based upon historical changes in market value.

Quantifying the Partnership's Trading Value at Risk
The following quantitative disclosures regarding the Partnership'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 using 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, whether realized or unrealized, and its
cash flow. Profits and losses on open positions of exchange-
traded futures, forwards, and options are settled daily through
variation margin.

The Partnership's risk exposure in the market sectors traded by
the Trading Advisors is estimated below in terms of Value at Risk

("VaR"). The VaR model used by the Partnership includes many
variables that could change the market value of the Partnership's
trading portfolio. The Partnership estimates VaR using a model
based upon historical simulation with a confidence level of 99%.
Historical simulation involves constructing a distribution of
hypothetical daily changes in the value of a trading portfolio.
The VaR model takes into account linear exposures to price and
interest rate risk. Market risks that are incorporated in the
VaR model include 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 historical observation period of the
Partnership's VaR is approximately four years. 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.

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 Advisors in their daily risk management
activities.

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, 2001 and 2000.
At December 31, 2001 and 2000, the Partnership's total
capitalization was approximately $69 million and $74 million,
respectively.

Primary Market December 31, 2001 December 31, 2000
Risk Category Value at Risk Value at Risk

Currency (0.67)% (0.67)%
Interest Rate (0.23) (1.41)
Equity (0.21) (0.90)
Commodity (2.02) (1.53)
Aggregate Value at Risk (2.27)% (2.34)%

Aggregate Value at Risk represents the aggregate VaR of all the
Partnership's open positions and not the sum of the VaR of the
individual market categories listed above. Aggregate VaR will be
lower as it takes into account correlation among different
positions and categories.

The table above represents the VaR of the Partnership's open
positions at December 31, 2001 and 2000 only and is not

necessarily representative of either the historic or future risk
of an investment in the Partnership. Because the Partnership's
only business 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. Any changes in open positions could positively or
negatively materially impact market risk as measured by VaR.

The table below supplements the December 31, 2001 VaR by
presenting the Partnership's high, low and average VaR, as a
percentage of total net assets for the four quarterly reporting
periods from January 1, 2001 through December 31, 2001.

Primary Market Risk Category High Low Average
Currency (0.78)% (0.32)% (0.55)%
Interest Rate (1.29) (0.23) (0.62)
Equity (0.21) (0.06) (0.12)
Commodity (2.02) (0.86) (1.29)
Aggregate Value at Risk (2.27)% (1.01)% (1.64)%

Limitations on Value at Risk as an Assessment of Market Risk
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 value of the Partnership's open positions
thus creates a "risk of ruin" not typically found in other
investments. The relative size of the positions held may cause
the Partnership to incur losses greatly in excess of VaR within a
short period of time, given the effects of the leverage employed
and market volatility. The VaR tables above, as well as the past
performance of the Partnership, give no indication of such "risk
of ruin". In addition, VaR risk measures should be viewed in light
of the methodology's limitations, which include 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 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.

The VaR tables above 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, 2001 and 2000, and for the end of

the four quarterly reporting periods during calendar year 2001.
Since VaR is based on historical data, VaR should not be viewed as
predictive of 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 not needed for margin. These balances and any market
risk they may represent are immaterial. At December 31, 2001, the
Partnership's cash balance at Morgan Stanley DW was approximately
91% of its total net asset value. A decline in short-term
interest rates will 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 Advisors
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, 2001, by market sector. It may be

anticipated, however, that these market exposures will vary
materially over time.

Currency. The Partnership's currency exposure at December 31,
2001 was 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 in a large number of
currencies, including cross-rates - i.e., positions between two
currencies other than the U.S. dollar. At December 31, 2001, the
Partnership's major exposures were to euro currency crosses and
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 profile of the Partnership's currency sector will
change significantly in the future. The currency trading VaR
figure includes foreign margin amounts converted into U.S.
dollars with an incremental adjustment to reflect the exchange
rate risk inherent to the dollar-based Partnership in expressing
VaR in a functional currency other than dollars.

Interest Rate. At December 31, 2001, the Partnership's exposure
to the global interest rate market complex was primarily spread
across the U.S., European and Japanese 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
primary interest rate exposure is generally to interest rate
fluctuations in the United States and the other G-7 countries.
The G-7 countries consist of France, U.S., Britain, Germany,
Japan, Italy and Canada. Demeter anticipates that G-7 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.

Equity. The primary equity exposure at December 31, 2001 was to
equity price risk in the G-7 countries. The stock index
futures traded by the Partnership are by law limited to futures
on broadly-based indices. At December 31, 2001, the
Partnership's primary exposure was to the S&P 500 (U.S.) and
NASDAQ (U.S.) stock indices. The Partnership is primarily
exposed to the risk of adverse price trends or static markets in
the U.S. indices. Static markets would not cause major market
changes but would make it difficult for the Partnership to avoid
being "whipsawed" into numerous small losses.

Commodity.
Metals. The Partnership's metals exposure at December 31,
2001 was to fluctuations in the price of precious metals,
such as gold, and base metals, such as copper, aluminum,
zinc and lead. Economic forces, supply and demand
inequalities, geopolitical factors and market expectations
influence price movement in these markets. The Trading
Advisors have, from time to time, taken positions as market
opportunities develop. Demeter anticipates that the
Partnership will continue to be exposed to the precious and
base metals markets.

Soft Commodities and Agriculturals. At December 31,
2001, the Partnership had exposure to the markets that
comprise these sectors. Most of the exposure was to the
cocoa and lumber markets. Supply and demand inequalities,
severe weather disruption and market expectations affect
price movements in these markets.

Energy. At December 31, 2001, the Partnership's energy
exposure was shared primarily by futures contracts in crude
oil and its related products, and natural gas markets. Price
movements in these markets result from political
developments in the Middle East, weather patterns and other
economic fundamentals. It is possible that volatility will
remain high. Significant profits and losses which have been

experienced in the past, are expected to continue to be
experienced in these markets. Natural gas has exhibited
volatility in prices resulting from weather patterns and
supply and demand factors and may 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, 2001:

Foreign Currency Balances. The Partnership's foreign
currency balances at December 31, 2001 were in euros and
Japanese yen. The Partnership controls the non-trading risk
of these 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 Advisors, 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 Trading Advisors, each of
whose strategies focus on different market sectors and trading
approaches, and by monitoring the performance of the Trading
Advisors daily. In addition, the Trading Advisors establish

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 Advisors.

Annual Report
2001

Dear Limited Partner:

This marks the eighth annual report for Morgan Stanley Spectrum Global
Balanced, Morgan Stanley Spectrum Strategic and Morgan Stanley Spectrum
Technical, the eleventh annual report for Morgan Stanley Spectrum Select, the
fourth annual report for Morgan Stanley Spectrum Commodity and the second
annual report for Morgan Stanley Spectrum Currency. The Net Asset Value per
Unit for each of the six Morgan Stanley Spectrum Funds as of December 31, 2001
was as follows:

Funds N.A.V. % change for year
----- ------ -----------------

Spectrum Commodity $ 5.84 -25.6%
Spectrum Currency $12.41 11.1%
Spectrum Global Balanced $16.21 -0.3%
Spectrum Select $23.96 1.7%
Spectrum Strategic $10.55 -0.6%
Spectrum Technical $14.93 -7.2%

Spectrum Commodity

During the year, the Fund recorded a decrease in Net Asset Value per Unit. The
most significant losses were experienced in the energy markets throughout a
majority of the year from long positions in natural gas futures as prices
reversed the sharp upward trend experienced in late 2000 amid reports of
increased inventories and forecasts for favorable weather. In the metals
markets, losses were experienced throughout a majority of the year from long
positions in copper and aluminum futures as the slowdown in the U.S. economy
and weak demand drove prices lower. In the agricultural markets, losses were
incurred from long positions in corn and wheat futures as prices moved lower
due to favorable weather forecasts and on reports of declining demand. In the
soft commodities markets, losses were recorded throughout a majority of the
year from long cotton futures positions as prices moved lower on weak export
sales and low demand.

Spectrum Currency

During the year, the Fund recorded an increase in Net Asset Value per Unit. The
most significant gains were recorded primarily in the South African rand from
previously established short positions in September, November and December as
its value trended lower relative to the U.S. dollar on global economic jitters
and emerging market concerns following Argentina's debt default. Profits were
recorded from previously established short positions in the Japanese yen early
in the year and again in December as the value of the yen weakened relative to
the U.S. dollar on continuing concerns for the Japanese economy. A portion of
the Fund's overall gains was partially offset by losses recorded in the British
pound primarily during May and early June from previously established long
positions as its value reversed lower relative to the U.S. dollar in reaction
to reports that British Prime Minister Blair will push for Great Britain's
entry into the European Monetary Union.

Spectrum Global Balanced

During the year, the Fund recorded a decrease in Net Asset Value per Unit. The
most significant losses were incurred primarily in the global stock index
futures markets throughout a majority of the first three quarters from long
positions in FTSE, DAX and S&P 500 Index futures as equity prices moved lower
amid worries regarding global economic uncertainty. In the energy markets,
losses were recorded throughout the year from positions in crude oil futures
and its related products as a result of volatility in oil prices due to a
continually changing outlook for supply, production and demand. A portion of
the Fund's overall losses was partially offset by gains recorded in the global
interest rate futures markets primarily during January and again in the third
quarter from previously established long positions in U.S. and European
interest rate futures as prices trended higher amid continued economic concerns
and interest rate cuts by the U.S. and European central banks. In the currency
markets, profits were recorded throughout a majority of the fourth quarter from
previously established short positions in the South African rand as its value
trended lower relative to the U.S. dollar while global economic jitters
persisted.

Spectrum Select

During the year, the Fund recorded an increase in Net Asset Value per Unit. The
most significant gains were recorded primarily in the global interest rate
futures markets during August, September and October from previously
established long positions in U.S. interest rate futures as prices trended
higher following interest rate cuts by the U.S. and European central banks. In
the global stock index futures markets, profits were recorded throughout a
majority of the third quarter from previously established short positions in
DAX, Hang Seng, Nikkei and S&P 500 Index futures as the trend in equity prices
continued sharply lower amid worries regarding global economic uncertainty. A
portion of the Fund's overall gains was partially offset by losses recorded in
the energy markets throughout a majority of the fourth quarter from volatile
price movement in natural gas futures as a result of a continually changing
outlook for supply, production and demand.

Spectrum Strategic

During the year, the Fund recorded a decrease in Net Asset Value per Unit. The
most significant losses were experienced primarily in the currency markets
throughout a majority of the fourth quarter from transactions involving the
euro and Swiss franc. In the global stock index futures markets, losses were
experienced throughout a majority of the first quarter from long positions in
U.S. stock index futures as U.S. stock prices declined after discouraging
corporate earnings warnings, inflationary news and on worries of a U.S.
economic slowdown. A portion of the Fund's overall losses was partially offset
by gains recorded in the soft commodities markets primarily during September
and November from long cocoa futures positions as prices soared higher on
expectations that global demand will outpace production. Additional gains were
recorded primarily during April, May and December from long lumber futures
positions as prices increased amid low inventories and on hopes of a pickup in
the U.S. economy.

Limited Partners of Spectrum Strategic are advised of a change in trading
personnel at one of the trading advisors employed by the Fund. Effective
January 1, 2002, Allied Irish Capital Management, Ltd., a trading advisor

to the Fund, announced the retirement of Mr. David Tease, a Director of Allied
Irish. Allied Irish trades its allocated portion of Fund assets pursuant to the
Worldwide Financial Futures Program, a portion of which was traded by Mr.
Tease, as discussed on page 101 of the Prospectus dated March 23, 2001.
Commencing on or about January 17, 2002, that portion of the Worldwide
Financial Futures Program previously traded by Mr. Tease (approximately $8.1
million, or 11.8% of Fund assets) is being traded by Mr. Gerry Grimes. Mr.
Grimes is Managing Director and a founding member of Allied Irish, with nearly
twenty years of experience in investment management. Mr. Grimes will employ a
discretionary trading approach based upon his fundamental economic analysis of
markets. He believes that the positioning of individual markets is a critical
factor in determining trading opportunities. Hence, he will place strong
emphasis on the gathering of intelligence in relation to market sentiment and
trade flow indicators to determine how individual markets are positioned. Mr.
Grimes will attempt to profit from those instances in which he determines that
a market is positioned in a manner contrary to his own fundamental view.
Pre-determined stop loss levels will be applied to all trades in an effort to
manage trade risk. In addition to trading a portion of the Fund's assets, Mr.
Grimes will continue in his role as trading controller for all three programs
employed in the Worldwide Financial Futures Program.

Spectrum Technical

During the year, the Fund recorded a decrease in Net Asset Value per Unit. The
most significant losses were recorded primarily in the energy markets
throughout the first nine months of the year from trading in crude oil futures
and its related products as a result of volatility in oil prices due to a
continually changing outlook for supply, production and demand. A portion of
the Fund's overall losses was partially offset by gains recorded in the global
interest rate futures markets primarily during August, September and October
from previously established long positions in U.S. interest rate futures as
prices trended higher following interest rate cuts by the U.S. and European
central banks. In the global stock index futures markets, profits were recorded
throughout a majority of the third quarter from previously established short
positions in DAX and Nikkei index futures as the trend in equity prices con-

tinued sharply lower amid worries regarding global economic uncertainty.
