for the year ended December 31,
2004 II, III, and IV

PART I
Item 1. BUSINESS

(a) General Development of Business. Morgan Stanley Spectrum
Technical L.P. (the "Partnership") is a Delaware limited
partnership organized in 1994 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. The Partnership commenced trading
operations on November 2, 1994. The Partnership is one of the
Morgan Stanley Spectrum series of funds, comprised of the
Partnership, Morgan Stanley Spectrum Currency L.P., Morgan Stanley
Spectrum Global Balanced L.P., Morgan Stanley Spectrum Strategic
L.P., and Morgan Stanley Spectrum Select L.P. (collectively, the
?Spectrum Series?).

The Partnership?s general partner 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?).
Demeter, Morgan Stanley DW, MS & Co., and MSIL are wholly-owned
subsidiaries of Morgan Stanley. The trading advisors to the
Partnership are Campbell & Company, Inc., Chesapeake
Capital Corporation, John W. Henry & Company, Inc., and effective
January 1, 2004, Winton Capital Management Limited (individually,
a ?Trading Advisor?, or collectively, the ?Trading Advisors?).

Units of limited partnership interest ("Unit(s)") are sold at
monthly closings at a purchase price equal to 100% of the net
asset value per Unit as of the close of business on the last day
of each month.

The managing underwriter for the Partnership is Morgan Stanley DW.

The Partnership's net asset value per Unit at December 31, 2004
was $23.63, representing an increase of 4.4 percent from the net
asset value per Unit of $22.64 on December 31, 2003. For a more

Item 6. SELECTED FINANCIAL DATA (in dollars)

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 each 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 Advisors
and the ability of each Trading Advisor?s trading program(s) 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, 2004, 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 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, along with the ?Proceeds from Litigation
Settlement?, 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
totaling $110,010,090 and expenses totaling $73,868,439, resulting
in net income of $36,141,651 for the year ended December 31, 2004.
The Partnership?s net asset value per Unit increased from $22.64
at December 31, 2003 to $23.63 at December 31, 2004. Total
redemptions and subscriptions for the year were $56,554,740 and
$260,952,698, respectively, and the Partnership?s ending capital
was $778,723,887 at December 31, 2004, an increase of $240,539,609
from ending capital at December 31, 2003 of $538,184,278.

The most significant trading gains of approximately 10.9% were
achieved in the energy markets throughout a majority of the year
from long futures positions in crude oil and its related
products as crude oil prices trended higher in response to
rising demand combined with geopolitical concerns and supply
issues. Additional gains of approximately 9.5% resulted in the
global interest rate markets primarily during the first,
third, and fourth quarter from long positions in European,
Asian, and U.S. interest rate futures. During the first
quarter, long positions profited as bond prices rallied in
response to weak economic data, a lack of inflation, and ?safe-
haven? buying following the terrorist attack in Madrid. During
the third quarter, long positions benefited from a surge in oil
prices, a drop in equity prices, and a conflicted economic
picture. During the fourth quarter, long positions in European
and U.S. interest rate futures benefited from rising global bond
prices triggered by record high oil prices, growth concerns
prompted by weak economic data, and strength in foreign
currencies versus a weaker U.S. dollar. Additional gains were
recorded from long positions in Japanese interest rate futures,
which profited as prices increased amid higher values for the
Japanese yen. Smaller gains of approximately 0.1% in the metals
markets resulted primarily during the first quarter, from long
futures positions in base metals after prices trended higher in
response to greater demand from Asia and a declining U.S.
dollar. A portion of the Partnership?s gains for the year was
offset by losses of approximately 2.0% incurred in the
agricultural markets from futures positions in cocoa and coffee.
During January, short futures positions in coffee experienced
losses as prices reversed higher amid tight global supply. Long
coffee positions experienced additional losses as prices
reversed lower during June in response to an increase in
Brazilian crop estimates and mild weather in growing regions.
During July, short cocoa futures positions recorded losses as
prices hit five-month highs amid speculative buying and lower
market supply. During September, long cocoa futures positions
incurred losses as prices reversed lower amid news of easing
geopolitical tensions from the Ivory Coast, the world?s top
cocoa producer. During October, long futures positions in
coffee incurred losses as prices declined due to larger harvests
and greater market supply. Additional losses of approximately
1.5% in the global stock index sector occurred primarily during
the second and third quarter of the year from positions in Asian
and European stock index futures. Long positions in Asian and
European stock index futures also incurred losses during March,
April, and May as equity prices fell in response to the terror
attacks in Madrid, continuing instability in Iraq, and concerns
for higher interest rates. During July, long positions in Asian
and European stock index futures also recorded losses as prices
reversed lower due to the release of disappointing U.S.
employment data, surging energy prices, and new warnings
concerning potential terrorist attacks. During August, short
positions in Asian and European equity index futures recorded
losses as prices reversed higher in response to falling energy
prices and better-than-expected U.S. Gross Domestic
Product and consumer sentiment data. Smaller Partnership losses
of approximately 0.2% were incurred in the currency markets
primarily from positions in the Japanese yen between the months
of March through August. Losses were incurred during March from
short positions in the Japanese yen versus the U.S. dollar as
the yen reversed higher due to speculation that the Bank of
Japan was relaxing its efforts to weaken the yen. During April,
long positions in the Japanese yen versus the U.S. dollar
resulted in losses as the U.S. dollar surged following the
release of stronger-than-expected U.S. jobs data. During May,
short positions in the Japanese yen versus the U.S. dollar
sustained losses as the U.S. dollar?s value declined in response
to fears of potential terrorist attacks, expanding energy
prices, and the release of weaker-than-expected U.S. economic
data during the latter half of May. During June, losses were
experienced primarily from short positions in the Japanese yen
versus the U.S. dollar as the yen climbed higher in response to
better-than-anticipated improvements in Japanese economic data
and speculation that the Bank of Japan would move to raise
interest rates. During July, long positions in the Japanese
yen, euro, Swiss franc, British pound, and Australian dollar,
all versus the U.S. dollar, resulted in losses as the U.S.
dollar?s value strengthened in response to upbeat market
sentiment. During August, losses resulted from short
positions in the Japanese yen versus the U.S. dollar as the U.S.
dollar?s value decreased due to concerns for the rate of U.S.
economic growth caused by the release of soft economic data.

The Partnership recorded total trading results including interest
totaling $142,093,478 and expenses totaling $54,151,590, resulting
in net income of $87,941,888 for the year ended December 31, 2003.
The Partnership?s net asset value per Unit increased from $18.41
at December 31, 2002 to $22.64 at December 31, 2003. Total
redemptions and subscriptions for the year were $42,934,638 and
$157,355,402, respectively, and the Partnership?s ending capital
was $538,184,278 at December 31, 2003, an increase of $202,362,652
from ending capital at December 31, 2002 of $335,821,626.

The most significant trading gains of approximately 22.8% in the
currency markets were supplied from long positions in the euro as
its value rose versus the U.S. dollar during January amid renewed
fears of a military conflict with Iraq, increased tensions with
North Korea, and weak U.S. economic data. During May, additional
gains were recorded as the value of the euro strengthened due to
uncertainty regarding the Bush Administration?s economic policy,
renewed fears of potential terrorist attacks against American
interests and investor preference for non-U.S. dollar assets.
Gains were also recorded during April by long positions in
the Australian dollar versus the U.S. dollar as the Australian
currency strengthened in response to continued weakness in the
U.S. dollar and significant interest rate differentials between
the two countries. The strongest gains in the currency sector
were recorded during the fourth quarter, particularly during
December, by long positions in a broad range of major and minor
currencies versus the U.S. dollar. Profits accumulated as the
U.S. dollar tumbled to a six-year lows against the Australian and
New Zealand dollars and a five-year lows against the British
pound. Additionally, the euro soared past the $1.20 mark, its
highest level against the U.S. dollar since its introduction in
January 1999. The U.S. dollar?s weakness was caused by a variety
of factors, including concerns regarding the growing U.S. Current-
Trade account and budget deficits, the U.S. Federal Reserve?s
policy of maintaining low interest rates, widening interest rate
differentials relative to other countries, and renewed fears of
global terrorism. Additional gains of approximately 10.3% in the
global stock index markets were recorded from long positions in
Japanese stock index futures during July and August as prices
trended higher in response to increased investor demand triggered
by record-low Japanese government bond yields and robust Japanese
economic data. Gains were also contributed during July and August
by long positions in U.S. stock index futures as prices were
buoyed by a rise in investor sentiment and tangible signs
of a U.S. economic recovery. During the fourth quarter,
additional gains were achieved on long European, U.S., and Asian
equity index futures positions. The release of favorable economic
data and an inflow of investor assets into equities helped boost
prices. In the metals markets, gains of approximately 7.0% were
recorded in the metals markets, primarily during the fourth
quarter, from long futures positions in base and precious metals.
Long futures positions in copper, nickel, and aluminum profited as
industrial metals prices rallied in response to growing investor
confidence in the global economy and increased demand, especially
from China. Meanwhile, gold and silver climbed higher during
December as investors sought a ?safe-haven? from the falling U.S.
dollar and an increased risk of terrorism. A portion of the
Partnership?s gains for the year was offset by losses of
approximately 3.0% in the agricultural markets. Short futures
positions in coffee suffered losses as prices reversed higher in
early September due to supply fears prompted by reduced estimates
for world coffee production. Additional losses were experienced
from long positions in lean hog futures during June as prices
declined in response to a potential outbreak of Mad Cow Disease.
During October, short futures positions in corn also incurred
losses as prices reversed higher in response to news of decreased
supply.

The Partnership recorded total trading results including interest
totaling $92,648,909 and expenses totaling $31,873,474, resulting
in net income of $60,775,435 for the year ended December 31, 2002.
The Partnership?s net asset value per Unit increased from $14.93
at December 31, 2001 to $18.41 at December 31, 2002. Total
redemptions and subscriptions for the year were $41,646,591 and
$58,718,660, respectively, and the Partnership?s ending capital
was $335,821,626 at December 31, 2002, an increase of $77,847,504
from ending capital at December 31, 2001 of $257,974,122.

The most significant trading gains of approximately 17.1% were
recorded in the global interest rate futures markets from long
positions in Japanese, European, and U.S. interest rate futures
as prices trended higher during the period from June through
September, as well as in December, amid global economic
uncertainty, and falling equity prices. In the currency
markets, gains of approximately 13.1% were recorded during the
second quarter, as well as in December, from long positions in
the euro versus the U.S. dollar as the value of the U.S. dollar
weakened amid continued uncertainty regarding the U.S. economic
recovery and heightened global political tensions. Additional
gains of approximately 4.3% resulted from short positions in
European stock index futures as prices trended lower during
June, July, and September amid skepticism regarding a
global economic recovery. A portion of the Partnership?s
overall gains was offset by losses of approximately 2.3%
recorded in the metals markets from long positions in copper
futures as prices reversed lower during the second quarter amid
growing inventory levels and weak industrial demand. Additional
losses were recorded during October from short positions in
copper futures as prices reversed higher amid renewed economic
optimism.

For an analysis of unrealized gains and (losses) by contract type
and a further description of 2004 trading results, refer to the
Partnership?s Annual Report to Limited Partners for the year ended
December 31, 2004, 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 Advisors were
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 Advisors? internal controls, the
Trading Advisors must comply with the Partnership?s trading
policies that include standards for liquidity and leverage that
must be maintained. The Trading Advisors and Demeter monitor the
Partnership's trading activities to ensure compliance with the
trading policies and Demeter can require the Trading Advisors 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, it 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 its 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,
2004, 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.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 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 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 Advisors 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 revalues 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 Advisors 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, 2004 and 2003.
At December 31, 2004 and 2003, the Partnership?s total
capitalization was approximately $779 million and $538 million,
respectively.

Primary Market December 31, 2004 December 31, 2003
Risk Category Value at Risk Value at Risk
Interest Rate (2.89)% (1.16)%
Equity (2.78) (1.66)
Currency (2.39) (2.48)
Commodity (0.80) (1.45)
Aggregate Value at Risk (4.40)% (3.47)%

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, 2004 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, 2004 through December 31,
2004.
Primary Market Risk Category High Low Average

Interest Rate (4.27)% (0.79)% (2.47)%
Equity (2.78) (0.91) (1.60)
Currency (2.39) (0.58) (1.29)
Commodity (2.04) (0.80) (1.38)
Aggregate Value at Risk (4.68)% (2.55)% (3.68)%

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, 2003, and for
the four quarter-end reporting periods during calendar year 2004.
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
(approximately 74% as of December 31, 2004) of its available
assets in cash at Morgan Stanley DW. 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 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, 2004, by market sector. It may be
anticipated, however, that these market exposures will vary
materially over time.

Interest Rate. The primary market exposure of the Partnership
at December 31, 2004 was to the global interest rate sector.
Exposure was primarily spread across the European, U.S.,
Australian, 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 interest rate exposure is
generally to interest rate fluctuations in the U.S. and the
other G-7 countries. The G-7 countries consist of France, the
U.S., Britain, Germany, Japan, Italy, and Canada. However, the
Partnership also takes futures positions in the government debt
of smaller countries - e.g., Australia. Demeter anticipates
that G-7 countries and Australian 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 second largest market exposure of the Partnership
at December 31, 2004 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, 2004, the Partnership?s primary exposures were to
the Euro Stoxx 50 (Europe), DAX (Germany), NASDAQ (U.S.), and
CAC 40 (France) stock indices. The Partnership is exposed to
the risk of adverse price trends or static markets in the U.S.,
European, and Japanese 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 third largest market exposure of the Partnership
at December 31, 2004 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, 2004, the Partnership?s major
exposures were to the euro, Japanese yen, British pound, Swedish
krona, Swiss franc, Australian dollar, New Zealand dollar,
Norwegian kroner, and Canadian dollar 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.

Commodity.
Metals. At December 31, 2004, the Partnership had market
exposure in the metals sector. The Partnership's metals
exposure at December 31, 2004 was to fluctuations in the
price of base metals such as copper, aluminum, zinc,
nickel, lead, and tin, and precious metals such as gold,
silver, and to a lesser extent, palladium and platinum.
Economic forces, supply and demand inequalities,
geopolitical factors, and market expectations influence
price movements in these markets. The Trading
Advisors utilize the trading system(s) to take positions
when market opportunities develop, and Demeter anticipates
that the Partnership will continue to do so.

Energy. At December 31, 2004, 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, and natural gas. 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 prices
resulting from weather patterns and supply and demand
factors and will likely continue in this choppy pattern.

Soft Commodities and Agriculturals. At December 31, 2004,
the Partnership had market exposure to the markets that
comprise these sectors. Most of the exposure was to the
soybeans, cocoa, sugar, and lean hogs markets. Supply and
demand inequalities, severe weather disruptions, and market
expectations affect price movements in these markets.

Qualitative Disclosures Regarding Non-Trading Risk Exposure
The following was the only non-trading risk exposure of the
Partnership at December 31, 2004:

Foreign Currency Balances. The Partnership?s primary
foreign currency balances at December 31, 2004 were in
euros, New Zealand dollars, South African rands, Hong Kong
dollars, and Japanese yens. 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 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 in a multi-advisor Partnership,
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.

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 controls 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,
2004. 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, 2004.

Deloitte & Touche LLP, the Partnership?s independent registered
public accounting firm, has issued an audit 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
unqualified opinions 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, 2004.

Item 9B. OTHER INFORMATION
The Board of Directors of Demeter, the general partner of the
registrant, approved the engagement of Ernst & Young LLP as the
registrant?s principal accountant for tax purposes. Ernst & Young
LLP was engaged by the registrant on November 1, 2004. Deloitte &
Touche LLP will continue as the registrant?s principal accountant
and audit the financial statements of the registrant.

There have been no material disagreements with Deloitte & Touche
LLP on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial
statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure.

Year ended December 31, 2004
----------------------------
Australian dollar 0.08
British pound -4.12
Euro 6.98
Japanese yen -8.81
Swiss franc 2.72
Minor currencies 2.30

Note: Reflects trading results only and does not include fees or interest
income. Minor currencies may include, but are not limited to, the South
African rand, Thai baht, Greek drachma, Singapore dollar, Mexican peso,
New Zealand dollar, Polish zloty, Brazilian real, and Norwegian krona.

FACTORS INFLUENCING ANNUAL TRADING GAINS:
.. Partnership gains were achieved from long positions in the euro, Swiss
franc, and Polish zloty versus the U.S. dollar, primarily during the fourth
quarter. The U.S. dollar's value trended lower throughout the quarter amid
rising oil prices, reports of weaker-than-expected U.S. economic data, a
growing U.S. Current-Account deficit, and the investment community's
perception that the Bush administration would not move to intervene in the
U.S. dollar's decline.

.. Additional gains resulted from long positions in the New Zealand dollar and
Brazilian real versus the U.S. dollar as both foreign currencies benefited
from a weaker U.S. dollar during the fourth quarter. Additionally, the New
Zealand dollar's value moved higher as it was propelled by stronger gold
prices.

FACTORS INFLUENCING ANNUAL TRADING LOSSES:
.. The most significant losses were recorded from positions in the Japanese yen
versus the U.S. dollar. Short yen positions against the U.S. dollar recorded
losses during March, as the yen reversed higher due to speculation that the
Bank of Japan was relaxing its efforts to weaken the yen. After reversing to
long yen positions, the U.S. dollar surged upwards against most currencies
during April following the release of stronger-than-expected U.S. jobs data,
thereby causing additional losses. The yen also came under pressure from
weakening efforts undertaken by the Japanese government. Short yen positions
incurred losses during May as the U.S. dollar's value declined amid fears of
potential terrorist attacks, expanding energy prices, and the

SPECTRUM CURRENCY

release of weaker-than-expected U.S. economic data. During June, short yen
positions experienced further losses due to the yen's rise prompted by
better-than-anticipated improvements in Japanese economic data. The yen
continued its rise later in the month in response to speculation that the
Bank of Japan would move to raise interest rates amid further confirmation
that Japan's economic recovery was on track. During August and September,
short yen positions also experienced losses as the U.S. dollar's value
declined under pressure from concerns for the rate of U.S. economic growth,
soft economic data, and record-high oil prices. Finally, long yen positions
incurred losses during December as the yen's value declined early in the
month due to weak Japanese machinery orders and temporary U.S. dollar
strength.

.. Additional losses resulted from positions in the British pound, primarily
during the fourth quarter. During both October and November, short pound
positions generated losses as the pound's value reversed higher amid a
decline in the U.S. dollar prompted by higher oil prices and concerns for
the growing U.S. Current-Account deficit. During December, long pound
positions recorded losses as the pound's value declined due to
weaker-than-expected U.K. economic data and the releases of dovish minutes
from the Bank of England's December meeting, which reflected the possibility
for future interest rate cuts.

.. Losses were also experienced from short positions in the Mexican peso versus
the U.S. dollar, primarily during the first quarter, as the peso reversed
higher in response to encouraging signs of a recovery in the Mexican economy.

.. Positions in the South African rand versus the U.S. dollar also incurred
losses during the first nine months of the year. During January and
February, long rand positions declined amid expectations for weaker gold
prices caused by improvements in the global economy. During April, long
South African rand positions versus the U.S. dollar experienced losses as
the U.S. dollar's value moved higher amid economic optimism. During May,
short South African rand positions incurred losses as the commodity-linked
currency reversed higher in response to rising gold prices. During July, the
U.S. dollar's upward reversal was prompted by upbeat market sentiment.
During August, long rand positions experienced further losses as the rand's
value moved lower due to a reduction in interest rates by the South African
Reserve Bank.

.. Long positions in the Norwegian krona versus the U.S. dollar incurred
smaller losses, primarily during the second and third quarter, as the value
of the U.S. dollar temporarily moved higher in response to growing
confidence in the U.S. economy.

FACTORS INFLUENCING ANNUAL TRADING LOSSES:
.. Losses were recorded in the currency markets during the first nine months of
the year. During the first quarter, long cross-rate positions in the Swiss
franc versus the Japanese yen resulted in losses as the yen's value reversed
higher due to speculation that the Bank of Japan was relaxing its efforts to
weaken the yen. Long positions in the U.S. dollar index were also
unprofitable as the U.S. dollar's value declined due to a reduction in Bank
of Japan intervention activity. During the second quarter, losses were
incurred from long positions in the Japanese yen versus the U.S. dollar as
the U.S. dollar surged following the release of stronger-than-expected U.S.
jobs data. The yen also came under pressure from weakening efforts by
Japanese government currency market interventions. Losses were also incurred
from short U.S. dollar positions against the South African rand as the U.S.
dollar benefited from rising U.S. interest rates and the perception that the
U.S. economy was experiencing a sustainable recovery. During the third
quarter, short cross-rate positions in the Australian dollar versus the
Japanese yen incurred losses as the Australian currency reversed higher amid
speculation for increases in Australian interest rates. During August,
losses were experienced from short positions in the Japanese yen versus the
U.S. dollar, Swiss franc, Australian dollar, and the euro as the value of
the yen moved higher due to higher Japanese equity prices and the release of
positive Japanese economic data. During September, short positions in the
Mexican peso versus the U.S. dollar resulted in losses as the U.S. dollar
reversed lower amid perceptions that the U.S. Federal Reserve reformed their
outlook regarding aggressive increases in interest rates. Long positions in
the Japanese yen versus the U.S. dollar also resulted in losses during
September as the yen declined due to

SPECTRUM GLOBAL BALANCED

Japan's swelling national debt and a reversal of the U.S. dollar's value in
response to a hike in U.S. interest rates.

.. Additional losses were established in the metals markets from positions in
base metals. Long futures positions in nickel experienced losses as prices
fell due to a strengthening of the U.S. dollar during January. Short nickel
futures positions during May experienced losses as prices increased due to
weakness in the U.S. dollar and strong Asian demand. During the third
quarter, further sector losses resulted from long nickel futures positions
after prices declined amid a slowdown in demand from China. Newly
established long futures positions created further losses during the fourth
quarter as prices weakened amid concern for demand and an advancing U.S.
dollar.

.. In the agricultural markets, losses were incurred from positions in soybean
oil, sugar, and cocoa. Short futures positions in soybean oil generated
losses after prices reversed higher amid news of reduced supply, strong
Chinese export demand, and rumors that U.S. soybean crops were possibly
infected by a damaging fungus. Long futures positions in sugar incurred
losses during August, October, and November as prices for the commodity
moved lower in response to technically-based selling and news of weaker
demand. Losses were also experienced from positions in cocoa as a result of
"whipsawing" in prices due to supply and demand concerns throughout most of
the year.

FACTORS INFLUENCING ANNUAL TRADING GAINS:
.. Gains were achieved in the global stock index markets, primarily during
November and December from long positions in European and U.S. stock index
futures as prices advanced in response to a decline in oil prices, positive
consumer sentiment, and an increase in corporate earnings.

.. Partnership gains were achieved in the energy markets, primarily during the
third quarter, from long futures positions in crude oil and its related
products as prices trended higher amid heavy market demand and supply
concerns.

.. Gains achieved in the global interest rates markets resulted during the
first and third quarter of the year from long positions in U.S. and European
interest rate futures. During the first quarter, long positions benefited
from a rally in bond prices sparked by low inflation and reduced concerns
for increases in interest rates. Long positions also profited during the
third quarter as prices trended higher in response to a surge in oil prices,
a drop in equity prices, and a conflicted economic picture generated by U.S.
economic reports.

Note: Reflects trading results only and does not include fees or interest

FACTORS INFLUENCING ANNUAL TRADING GAINS:
.. Gains were recorded in the energy markets, primarily during February, May,
throughout the third quarter, and in October, from long futures positions in
crude oil and its related products as prices advanced upwards amid concerns
for market supply, falling inventory levels, and heavy market demand.

.. Additional Partnership gains achieved in the agricultural markets, primarily
during the first quarter, resulted from long futures positions in corn,
soybeans, and soybean-related products as prices for these commodities
finished higher amid strong, steady demand from Asia.

.. In the metals markets, gains were recorded primarily during the first
quarter from long futures positions in base metals as prices moved higher in
response to increased demand from China coupled with a weaker U.S. dollar.
Long futures positions in industrial metals held during October were also
profitable due to the drop in the U.S. dollar prompted by the investment
community's perception that the Bush administration would not take steps to
stem the U.S. dollar's decline.

.. Relatively smaller Partnership gains resulted from trading in the currency
markets, primarily during October and November. Long positions in the euro
and Swiss franc versus the U.S. dollar benefited from a declining U.S.
dollar trend triggered by prospects for lower U.S. interest rates, higher
oil prices, concern for the growing U.S. Current-Account deficit, and
beliefs that the Bush administration would not act to curb the decline in
the U.S. dollar.

SPECTRUM SELECT

FACTORS INFLUENCING ANNUAL TRADING LOSSES:
.. Losses were incurred in the global interest rate sector, particularly during
the second and third quarter, from positions in U.S. and Australian interest
rate futures. During January, long positions in U.S. interest rate futures
experienced losses as prices declined following comments from the U.S.
Federal Reserve concerning a shift in the U.S. Federal Reserve's interest
rate policy. Short positions in Australian interest rate futures deepened
sector losses as prices reversed higher during the final week of January.
During April, long U.S. interest rate futures positions incurred losses as
prices tumbled following the release of stronger-than-expected U.S. jobs
data. During May, short positions in global bond futures experienced losses
as prices moved higher during the latter half of the month due to
uncertainty in global equity prices, weaker-than-expected economic data,
stronger energy prices, and geopolitical concerns. During June, short
positions experienced losses as prices rallied on weaker-than-expected
economic reports and expectations that the U.S. Federal Reserve would not
aggressively tighten U.S. interest rates. During July, short positions in
U.S. interest rate futures recorded losses as prices moved higher after the
release of disappointing U.S. unemployment data. Additional losses were
incurred from newly established long U.S. interest rate futures positions
after prices moved lower following Federal Reserve Chairman Alan Greenspan's
upbeat assessment of the U.S. economy. During September, long positions in
U.S. interest rate futures resulted in losses as prices declined due to
expectations for rising interest rates prompted by the release of positive
U.S. economic data.

.. Smaller Partnership losses resulted from trading in the global stock index
sector, primarily during the second and third quarter, via positions in
Asian equity index futures. During the second quarter, long positions in
these markets incurred losses as global equity prices were negatively
impacted by geopolitical concerns and expanding energy prices. Newly
established short Asian equity index positions experienced losses as prices
rebounded during the second quarter amid a slight pullback in oil prices and
strong earnings from technology companies. During the third quarter, long
Asian equity index positions experienced losses as prices reversed lower due
to the release of disappointing U.S. employment data, surging energy prices,
and new warnings concerning potential terrorist activity.

FACTORS INFLUENCING ANNUAL TRADING GAINS:
.. The most significant gains were recorded in the agricultural markets,
primarily during the first five months of the year, from long futures
positions in soybeans, soybean-related products, corn, and sugar. During the
first quarter, soybean and corn prices finished higher, especially during
February, due to increased exports abroad and greater demand from Asia. Long
futures positions in sugar also benefited as prices rallied during April and
June amid diminished market supply, increasing demand and inflation concerns.

.. In the metals markets, gains were recorded primarily during the first
quarter and the final two months of the year, from long futures positions in
base metals. During the first quarter, prices trended higher due to a
declining U.S. dollar and increased demand from Asia. During September, long
base metals futures positions benefited as prices moved higher in response
to continued demand from China and reports of lower-than-expected
inventories. During November and December, long base metals positions
continued to profit from the decline in the U.S. dollar.

.. Relatively smaller Partnership gains achieved in the global interest rate
markets occurred primarily during the first and third quarter of the year
from long positions in European interest rate futures. During the first
quarter, long positions profited as global bond prices rallied in response
to a lack of inflation and no increases in interest rates by the European
Central Bank. Prices also trended higher during March amid uncertainty in
the equity markets, disappointing U.S. economic data and "safe-haven" buying
following the terrorist attack in Madrid. During the third quarter, long
European interest

rate futures positions profited after prices trended higher amid rising oil
prices, a drop in equity prices, and concern for economic growth.

FACTORS INFLUENCING ANNUAL TRADING LOSSES:
.. Losses were incurred in the global stock index markets, primarily during the
first and third quarter of the year. During the first quarter, long European
and Japanese equity index futures positions were unprofitable as equity
prices dropped during February and early March amid weakness in the U.S.
technology sector and growing geopolitical uncertainty. During the third
quarter, long European, Asian, and U.S. stock index futures experienced
losses as prices reversed lower during July due to the release of
disappointing U.S. employment data, surging energy prices, and concern for
potential terrorist attacks.

.. Losses in the currency markets resulted primarily during the first and third
quarter. During the first quarter, long positions in the Japanese yen versus
the U.S. dollar resulted in losses after the Bank of Japan weakened the yen
through currency market intervention activity. During the third quarter,
long European currency positions, such as the Swiss franc and Norwegian
krone versus the U.S. dollar, generated negative performance as the U.S.
dollar reversed higher amid upbeat market sentiment.

.. Smaller losses were recorded in the energy markets, primarily during the
second quarter and the month of November. During the second quarter, losses
resulted from long futures positions in crude oil and its related products,
and natural gas as energy prices declined in response to increases in output
and energy reserves. During November, long positions in natural gas
experienced losses as prices reversed sharply lower amid hefty reserves and
seasonally moderate temperatures.

FACTORS INFLUENCING ANNUAL TRADING GAINS:
.. The most significant gains were achieved in the energy markets throughout a
majority of the year from long futures positions in crude oil and its
related products as crude oil prices trended higher in response to rising
demand combined with geopolitical concerns and supply issues.

.. Additional gains resulted in the global interest rate markets during the
first, third, and fourth quarter from long positions in European, Asian, and
U.S. interest rate futures. During the first quarter, long positions
profited as bond prices rallied in response to weak economic data, a lack of
inflation and "safe-haven" buying following the terrorist attack in Madrid.
During the third quarter, long positions benefited from a surge in oil
prices, a drop in equity prices, and a conflicted economic picture. During
the fourth quarter, long positions in European and U.S. interest rate
futures benefited from rising global bond prices triggered by record high
oil prices, growth concerns prompted by weak economic data, and strength in
foreign currencies versus a weaker U.S. dollar. Additional gains were
recorded from long positions in Japanese interest rate futures, which
profited as prices increased amid higher values for the Japanese yen.

.. Smaller gains recorded in the metals markets resulted, primarily during the
first quarter, from long futures positions in base metals after prices
trended higher in response to greater demand from Asia and a declining U.S.
dollar.

SPECTRUM TECHNICAL

FACTORS INFLUENCING ANNUAL TRADING LOSSES:
.. Losses were incurred in the agricultural markets from futures positions in
cocoa and coffee. During January, short futures positions in coffee
experienced losses as prices reversed higher amid tight global supply. Long
coffee positions experienced additional losses as prices reversed lower
during June in response to an increase in Brazilian crop estimates and mild
weather in growing regions. During July, short cocoa futures positions
recorded losses as prices hit five-month highs amid speculative buying and
lower market supply. During September, long cocoa futures positions incurred
losses as prices reversed lower amid news of easing geopolitical tensions
from the Ivory Coast, the world's top cocoa producer. During October, long
futures positions in coffee incurred losses as prices declined due to larger
harvests and greater market supply.

.. Additional losses in the global stock index sector occurred primarily during
the second and third quarter of the year from positions in Asian and
European stock index futures. Long positions in Asian and European stock
index futures also incurred losses during March, April, and May as equity
prices fell in response to the terror attacks in Madrid, continuing
instability in Iraq, and concerns for higher interest rates. During July,
long positions in Asian and European stock index futures also recorded
losses as prices reversed lower due to the release of disappointing U.S.
employment data, surging energy prices, and new warnings concerning
potential terrorist attacks. During August, short positions in Asian and
European equity index futures recorded losses as prices reversed higher in
response to falling energy prices and better-than-expected U.S. Gross
Domestic Product and consumer sentiment data.

.. Smaller losses were incurred in the currency markets primarily from
positions in the Japanese yen between the months of March through August.
Losses were incurred during March from short positions in the Japanese yen
versus the U.S. dollar as the yen reversed higher due to speculation that
the Bank of Japan was relaxing its efforts to weaken the yen. During April,
long positions in the Japanese yen versus the U.S. dollar resulted in losses
as the U.S. dollar surged following the release of stronger-than-expected
U.S. jobs data. During May, short positions in the Japanese yen versus the
U.S. dollar sustained losses as the U.S. dollar's value declined in response
to fears of potential terrorist attacks, expanding energy prices, and the
release of weaker-than-expected economic data during the latter half of May.
During June, losses were experienced primarily from short positions in the
Japanese yen versus the U.S. dollar as the yen climbed higher in response to
better-than-anticipated improvements in Japanese economic data and
speculation that the Bank of Japan would move to raise interest rates.
During July, long positions in the Japanese yen, euro, Swiss franc, British
pound, and Australian dollar, all versus the U.S. dollar, resulted in losses
as the U.S. dollar's value strengthened in response to upbeat market
sentiment. During August, losses resulted from short positions in the
Japanese yen versus the U.S. dollar as the U.S. dollar's value decreased due
to concerns for the rate of U.S. economic growth caused by the release of
soft economic data.
