PART I

Item 1. Business.

(a) General Development of Business. Morgan Stanley Smith Barney Spectrum Select L.P. (the “Partnership”) is a Delaware limited partnership organized in 1991 to engage primarily in the speculative trading of futures contracts, options on futures and forward contracts, and forward contracts on physical commodities and other commodity interests, including, but not limited to, foreign currencies, financial instruments, metals, energy and agricultural products (collectively, “Futures Interests”). ~~The~~(refer ~~Futures~~to ~~Interests~~Note ~~that~~4, ~~are~~“Financial ~~traded~~Instruments” byin the financial ~~Partnership,~~statements ~~either~~and ~~directly,~~accompanying ~~through~~notes ~~individually managed~~included ~~accounts,~~in orPart ~~indirectly,~~II. ~~are~~Item ~~volatile~~8. ~~and~~“Financial ~~involve~~Statements aand ~~high~~Supplementary ~~degree of market risk~~Data”). The General Partner (as defined below) may also determine to invest up to all of the Partnership’s assets in United States (“U.S.”) Treasury bills and/or money market mutual funds, including money market mutual funds managed by Morgan Stanley or its affiliates. The Partnership commenced trading operations on August 1, 1991. Prior to December 31, 2018, the Partnership was one of the Morgan Stanley Spectrum series of funds, comprised of the Partnership, ~~and~~ Morgan Stanley Smith Barney Spectrum Strategic L.P., (prior to its termination on December 31, 2018), and prior to December 31, 2017, Ceres Tactical Global L.P. (formerly Ceres Tactical Currency L.P.) and Morgan Stanley Smith Barney Spectrum Technical L.P.

Ceres Managed Futures LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, acts as the general partner (“Ceres” or the “General Partner”) and commodity pool operator of the Partnership. ~~As of January 1, 2017,~~ Ceres ~~became~~is a wholly -owned subsidiary of Morgan Stanley Domestic Holdings, Inc. (“MSD Holdings”). MSD Holdings is ultimately owned by Morgan Stanley. Morgan Stanley is a publicly held company whose shares are listed on the New York Stock Exchange. Morgan Stanley is engaged in various financial services and other businesses. Prior to January 1, 2017, ~~the~~Ceres ~~General Partner~~ was a wholly-owned subsidiary of Morgan Stanley Smith Barney Holdings LLC ~~(“MSSB Holdings”)~~.

The Partnership’s commodity broker is Morgan Stanley & Co. LLC (“MS&Co.”), a registered futures commission merchant. MS&Co. also acts as the counterparty on all trading of foreign currency forward contracts. Morgan Stanley Smith Barney LLC, doing business as Morgan Stanley Wealth Management (“Morgan Stanley Wealth Management”), is a principal subsidiary of MSD Holdings. MS&Co. and its affiliates act as the custodians of the Partnership’s assets available for trading in Futures Interests. MS&Co. is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Morgan Stanley. ~~The~~During the periods included in this report, the Partnership deposited a portion of its cash in a non-trading account at JPMorgan Chase Bank N.A.

The trading advisors to the Partnership are EMC Capital Advisors, LLC (“EMC”) and Graham Capital Management, L.P. (“Graham”) (each ~~individually~~, a “Trading Advisor” and, or collectively, the “Trading Advisors”). A description of the trading activities and focus of each Trading Advisor can be found under “Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.”

Effective December 31, 2017, the General Partner terminated the management agreement among the Partnership, the General Partner and Rabar Market Research, Inc. (“Rabar”), pursuant to which Rabar traded a portion of the Partnership’s assets. Consequently, Rabar ceased all Futures Interest trading on behalf of the Partnership. Effective June 30, 2016, the General Partner terminated the management agreement among the Partnership, the General Partner and Altis Partners (Jersey) Limited (“Altis”), pursuant to which Altis traded a portion of the Partnership’s assets. Consequently, Altis ceased all Futures Interest trading on behalf of the Partnership. Effective the close of business on August 8, 2014, Ceres terminated the management agreement among Ceres, Northfield Trading L.P. (“Northfield”) and the Partnership pursuant to which Northfield ceased all Futures Interests trading on behalf of the Partnership.

References herein to the “Trading Advisors” may include, as relevant, Rabar, ~~Altis~~ and ~~Northfield~~Altis.

For the period from January 1, ~~2018~~2019 through December 31, ~~2018~~2019, the approximate average market sector distribution for the Partnership, was as follows:

LOGO

The General Partner, on behalf of the Partnership, has entered into a management agreement with each Trading Advisor (each, a “Management Agreement”). Each Management Agreement provides that the Trading Advisor has sole discretion in determining the investments of the assets of the Partnership allocated to the Trading Advisor by the General Partner. Pursuant to each Management Agreement, the Partnership pays each Trading Advisor a flat-rate monthly management fee and ana monthly or annual incentive fee. The Management Agreement with EMC will renew annually unless terminated by the General Partner or EMC. The Management Agreement with Graham will renew annually unless terminated by the General Partner or Graham. In general, each Management Agreement may be terminated upon prior written notice (as set forth in the relevant Management Agreement) by either party.

The management fee for the Partnership is accrued at a rate of 1/12 of 1.7535% (a 1.7535% annual rate) per month of the Partnership’s net assets allocated to Graham on the first day of each month and 1/12 of 1% (a 1% annual rate) per month of the Partnership’s net assets allocated to EMC on the first day of each month. Prior to ~~January~~February 1, ~~2016~~2019, the management fee ~~paid~~payable by the Partnership to ~~EMC~~Graham was accrued at a rate of 1/12 of 21.75% (a ~~2% annual rate) per month of the Partnership’s net assets allocated to EMC on the first day of each month. Prior to April~~ 1~~, 2014, the monthly management fee payable by the Partnership to Graham was 1/6 of 1~~.75% ~~(a 2%~~ annual rate) per month of the Partnership’s net assets allocated to Graham ~~on the first day of each month~~. The monthly management fee payable by the Partnership to Rabar prior to its termination on December 31, 2017 was 1/12 of 2% (a 2% annual rate) per month of the Partnership’s net assets allocated to Rabar on the first day of each month. The monthly management fee payable by the Partnership to Altis prior to its termination on June 30, 2016 was 1/12 of 1.25% (a 1.25% annual rate) per month of the Partnership’s net assets allocated to Altis on the ~~first day of each month. The monthly management fee payable by the Partnership to Northfield prior to~~ ~~its termination on August 8, 2014 was 1/12 of 1% (a 1% annual rate) per month of the Partnership’s net assets allocated to Northfield on the~~ first day of each month.

In addition, the Partnership pays a monthly incentive fee equal to 20% of the trading profits experienced with respect to the Partnership’s net assets allocated to EMC ~~and Graham~~ as of the end of each calendar month., ~~Prior~~and pays an annual incentive fee equal to ~~its~~18% ~~termination~~of onthe ~~December 31,~~trading ~~2017,~~profits ~~Rabar~~experienced ~~was~~with ~~eligible~~respect to ~~receive~~the Partnership’s net assets allocated to Graham. Prior to February 1, 2019, the Partnership paid a monthly incentive fee equal to 20% of the trading profits experienced with respect to the Partnership’s net assets allocated to ~~Rabar~~Graham as of the end of each calendar month. Prior to its termination on ~~June~~December 3031, ~~2016~~2017, ~~Altis~~Rabar was eligible to receive a monthly incentive fee equal to 20% of the trading profits experienced with respect to the Partnership’s net assets allocated to ~~Altis~~Rabar as of the end of each calendar month. Prior to its termination on ~~August~~June 830, ~~2014~~2016, ~~Northfield~~Altis was eligible to receive a monthly incentive fee equal to 20% of the trading profits experienced with respect to the Partnership’s net assets allocated to ~~Northfield~~Altis as of the end of each calendar month.

Trading profits represent the amount by which profits from trading in Futures Interests exceed losses after brokerage, ongoing placement agent fees, General Partner fees and management fees, as applicable, are deducted. ~~For~~When ~~all~~a ~~Trading~~trading ~~Advisors~~advisor experiences losses with ~~trading~~respect ~~losses,~~to noits ~~incentive~~allocation ~~fee~~of isnet ~~paid~~assets as inof ~~subsequent~~the ~~months~~end ~~until~~of ~~all~~the applicable period, the trading advisor must recover such losses ~~are~~before ~~recovered~~it is eligible for an incentive fee in the future. ~~Cumulative~~The cumulative trading losses are adjusted on a pro-~~rata~~rated basis for the ~~net~~ amount of each month’s redemptions or reallocations.

Effective April 1, 2014, the flat rate brokerage fee for the Partnership was reduced from 6.0% per annum (paid monthly) to 4.0% per annum (paid monthly) of the Partnership’s net assets.

Effective October 1, 2014, the flat rate brokerage fee, equal to an annual rate of 4.0% of the Partnership’s net assets, was separated into (i) a general partner administrative fee payable to the General Partner (the “General Partner fee”) equal to an annual rate of 2.0% of the Partnership’s net assets, and (ii) an ongoing placement agent fee payable to Morgan Stanley Wealth Management equal to an annual rate of 2.0% of the Partnership’s net assets. The October 1, 2014 fee changes, in the aggregate, did not exceed the flat rate brokerage fee and, accordingly, there was no change to the aggregate fees incurred by the Partnership.

InThe ~~July 2015, the~~ General Partner has delegated certain administrative functions to to SS&C Technologies, Inc., a Delaware corporation, currently doing business as SS&C GlobeOp (the “Administrator”). Pursuant to a master services agreement, the Administrator furnishes certain administrative, accounting, regulatory reporting, tax and other services as agreed from time to time. In addition, the Administrator maintains certain books and records of the Partnership. The General Partner pays or reimburses the Partnership, from the General Partner fee it receives from the Partnership, the ordinary administrative expenses of the Partnership. ~~This~~including ~~includes~~ the expenses related to the engagement of the Administrator.

The Partnership began the year at a net asset value per unit of limited partnership interest (“Unit(s)”) of $2320.82 45 and ~~decreased~~increased 14.12% to $2023.4536 per Unit on December 31, ~~2018~~2019. For a more detailed description of the Partnership’s business see subparagraph (c).

Item 1A. Risk Factors.

This section includes some of the principal risks that investors will face with an investment in the Partnership.

THE UNITS IN THE PARTNERSHIP ARE SPECULATIVE AND INVOLVE A HIGH DEGREE OF RISK. THEY ARE SUITABLE ONLY FOR PERSONS WHO CAN AFFORD TO LOSE THEIR ENTIRE INVESTMENT.

Risks Relating to the Partnership

Possible Consequences of Using Multiple Trading Advisors. Each Trading Advisor makes trading decisions independent of the other Trading Advisors for the Partnership. Thus, it is possible that the Partnership could hold opposite positions in the same or similar Futures Interests, thereby offsetting any potential for profit from these positions. Each such position would cost the Partnership transactional expenses (such as brokerage commissions and National Futures Association (“NFA”) fees) but could not generate any recognized gain or loss. Moreover, the General Partner may reallocate the Partnership’s assets among the current Trading Advisors or terminate one or more or select additional Trading Advisors at any time. Any such reallocation could adversely affect the performance of the Partnership or any one Trading Advisor.

You Should Not Rely on Past Performance of the General Partner or the Trading Advisors In Deciding To Purchase Units. The past investment performance of other entities managed by the General Partner and the Trading Advisors is not necessarily indicative of the Partnership’s future results. No assurance can be given that the General Partner will succeed in meeting the investment objectives of the Partnership. You may lose all or substantially all of your investment in the Partnership.

The General Partner believes that past performance of the Trading Advisors may be of interest to investors, but encourages you to look at such information as an example of the respective objectives of the Trading Advisors rather than as any indication that the Partnership’s objectives will, in fact, be achieved.

The Partnership Incurs Substantial Charges. The Partnership must pay substantial charges, and must generate profits and interest income which exceed its fixed costs in order to avoid depletion of its assets. The Partnership is required to pay monthly management fees to the Trading Advisors regardless of the performance of the Partnership. In addition, the Partnership pays each Trading Advisor an incentive fee.

The Partnership Incurs Substantial Charges. The Partnership must pay substantial charges, and must generate profits and interest income which exceed its fixed costs in order to avoid depletion of its assets. The Partnership is required to pay monthly management fees to the Trading Advisors regardless of the performance of the Partnership. In addition, the Partnership pays each Trading Advisor an incentive fee.

Incentive Fees May be Paid by the Partnership Even Though the Partnership Sustains Trading Losses. The Partnership pays each Trading Advisor an incentive fee based upon the new trading profits it generates for the Partnership. These new trading profits include unrealized appreciation on open positions. Accordingly, it is possible that the Partnership will pay an incentive fee on new trading profits that do not become realized. Also, each Trading Advisor will retain all incentive fees paid to it, even if it incurs a subsequent loss after payment of an incentive fee. Due to the fact that incentive fees are paid to a Trading Advisor on a monthly basis, it is possible that an incentive fee may be paid to a Trading Advisor during a year in which the assets allocated to such Trading Advisor suffer a loss for the year. Because each Trading Advisor receives an incentive fee based on the new trading profits earned by the Trading Advisor, the Trading Advisors may have an incentive to make investments that are riskier than would be the case in the absence of such an incentive fee being paid to the Trading Advisors based on new trading profits.

Restricted Investment Liquidity in the Units. There is no secondary market for the Units, and you generally may not redeem your Units other than as of the last Business Day of each month. Your right to receive payment for a redemption of some or all of your Units is dependent upon (a) the Partnership having sufficient assets to pay its liabilities on the redemption date, and (b) the General Partner’s receipt of your Request for Redemption in such manner as determined by the General Partner no later than 3:00 P.M., New York City time, on the last day of the month. The General Partner will not permit a transfer, sale, pledge or assignment of Units unless it is satisfied that the transfer, sale, pledge or assignment would not be in violation of Delaware law or applicable federal, state or foreign securities laws and notwithstanding any transfer, sale, pledge or assignment, the Partnership will continue to be classified as a partnership rather than as an association or publicly traded partnership taxable as a corporation under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”). No transfer, sale, pledge or assignment of Units will be effective or recognized by the Partnership if the transfer, sale, pledge or assignment would result in the termination of the Partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes. Any attempt to transfer, sell, pledge or assign Units in violation of the Partnership’s limited partnership agreement (the “Limited Partnership Agreement”) will be ineffective.

General Partner Redemptions. The General Partner is required to maintain a capital contribution at least equal to the greater of: (a) 1% of aggregate capital contributions to the Partnership (including the General Partner’s contribution) and (b) $25,000. The General Partner may otherwise redeem any portion of its investment in the Partnership at any time without notice to the limited partners. For any such redemption, the General Partner will redeem its Units at the end of the month in the same manner as any limited partner would follow to redeem Units. Additionally, the General Partner has the right to redeem Units it holds in the event redemptions for limited partners are suspended.

The Partnership’s Structure Has Conflicts of Interest.

•● The General Partner, Morgan Stanley Investment Management, Morgan Stanley Wealth Management and MS&Co. are affiliates. As a result, the fees and other compensation received by these parties and other terms relating to the operation of the Partnership and the sale of Units have not been negotiated independently. The officers and directors of the General Partner are also employees of Morgan Stanley or one of its subsidiaries and may have a conflict of interest between their responsibility to the General Partner and the commodity pools it operates. Some of the compensation for such officers and directors of the General Partner may be based in part on the profitability of Morgan Stanley and its managed futures business operated by the General Partner.

•● MS&Co. can benefit from bid/ask spreads to the extent the Trading Advisors execute over-the-counter (“OTC”) foreign exchange trades with MS&Co. and bid/ask spreads are charged.

•● The Trading Advisors, the General Partner, Morgan Stanley and its affiliates and subsidiaries may trade Futures Interests for their own accounts, and thereby compete with the Partnership for positions. Also, the other commodity pools managed by the General Partner and the Trading Advisors may compete with the Partnership for Futures Interests. These conflicts can result in less favorable prices on the Partnership’s transactions. These pools may also pay lower fees, including lower commodity brokerage fees and/or commissions, than the Partnership pays. The records of any such trading will not be available for inspection by limited partners.

•● For excess cash which is not invested, MS&Co. and the General Partner retain any interest earned on cash in the Partnership’s account in excess of the rate specified in the Partnership’s Annual Report to Limited Partners for the year ended December 31, ~~2018~~2019. Depending on the current market interest rates, that could create an incentive for the General Partner to retain excess cash in cash instead of permitted investments.

•● The General Partner may purchase shares from money market mutual funds affiliated and/or unaffiliated with the General Partner.

No specific policies regarding conflicts of interest have been adopted by the General Partner, the Partnership or any of their affiliates, and you will be dependent on the good faith of, and legal and fiduciary obligations imposed on the parties involved with such conflicts to resolve them equitably.

An Investment in Units May Not Diversify an Overall Portfolio. Because Futures Interests have historically performed independently of traditional investments in equities and bonds, the General Partner believes that managed futures funds like the Partnership can diversify a traditional portfolio of equities and bonds. However, the General Partner cannot assure you that the Partnership will perform with a significant degree of non- or low-correlation to your other investments in the future. You may lose your entire investment in the Partnership.

The Partnership Is Not A Registered Investment Company. The Partnership is not required to register, and is not registered, as an investment company under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “Investment Company Act”). Accordingly, investors will not have the protections afforded by the Investment Company Act (which, among other matters, requires investment companies to have a majority of disinterested directors and regulates the relationship between the trading advisor and the investment company).

Risks Related to Regulation of the Partnership and General Partner

The Federal Reserve Board’s Regulation of Morgan Stanley Could Affect the Activities of the Partnership. As a bank holding company (“BHC”) that has elected financial holding company (“FHC”) status under the Bank Holding Company Act of 1956 (“BHCA”), Morgan Stanley and its affiliates are subject to comprehensive, consolidated supervision and regulation by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (“Federal Reserve”). Since the General Partner is a subsidiary of Morgan Stanley, the Federal Reserve will treat the Partnership as an affiliate of Morgan Stanley. As a result, the Partnership will be subject to the BHCA and the Federal Reserve’s implementing regulations and interpretations, which are subject to change.

A significant focus of the regulatory framework that applies to Morgan Stanley is to ensure that Morgan Stanley and its subsidiaries operate in a safe and sound manner, with sufficient capital, earnings and liquidity to allow Morgan Stanley to serve as a source of financial and managerial strength to Morgan Stanley Bank, N.A. and Morgan Stanley Private Bank, National Association (the “Banks”). These Banks must remain well capitalized and well managed if Morgan Stanley is to maintain its FHC status and continue to engage in the widest range of permissible financial activities. In addition, the general exercise by the Federal Reserve of its regulatory, supervisory and enforcement authority with respect to Morgan Stanley and certain provisions of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (the “Dodd-Frank Act” or the “Act”) could result in the need for Morgan Stanley to change its business practices or the scope of its current lines of business, including certain limited divestitures. Although such changes could have an impact on and consequences for Morgan Stanley, the General Partner and the Partnership, any limited divestiture should not directly involve the Partnership.

The Units are not being offered by the Banks, and as such: (1) are not insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”), (2) are not deposits or other obligations of the Banks, (3) are not guaranteed by the Banks, and (4) involve investment risks, including possible loss of principal.

Effect on the Partnership of the “Volcker Rule.” In December 2013, the Federal Reserve, the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency, the FDIC, the SEC and the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (“CFTC”) each adopted a final rule (“Final Rule”) implementing Section 619 of the Dodd-Frank Act (which section is commonly referred to as the Volcker Rule). The Final Rule became effective on April 1, 2014 and is being implemented over time. Covered fund investments and relationships in place 2014 or after became subject to the Volcker Rule and Final Rule on July 21, 2015. Covered fund investments and relationships in place before 2014 are subject to an extended conformance period granted by the Federal Reserve in July 2016, which expired on July 21, 2017. Among other things, the Final Rule limits the ability of “banking entities” (which term includes any insured depository institution, any company controlling an insured depository institution or any affiliate or subsidiary of either) to acquire or retain an equity or other ownership interest in, or “sponsor”, “covered funds.” The Final Rule, however, permits banking entities to organize and offer a covered fund if several conditions are satisfied, including the requirement that the banking entity does not acquire or retain an equity or other ownership interest in the covered fund except for a de minimis investment, after an initial seeding period. Moreover, all banking entities engaging in proprietary trading or covered funds activities subject to the Final Rule must adopt a compliance program, including meeting certain documentation and reporting requirements. The banking agencies make clear, however, that the terms, scope and detail of the compliance program depend on the types, size, scope and complexity of the activities and business structure of the banking entity.

The Volcker Rule and Final Rule impose a number of restrictions on Morgan Stanley and its affiliates that could affect the Partnership, the General Partner, and the limited partners. For example, to sponsor and invest in the Partnership, Morgan Stanley believes that it will need to comply with the Final Rule’s “asset management” exemption to the Volcker Rule’s prohibition on sponsoring and investing in covered funds. Under this exemption, investments made by Morgan Stanley (aggregated with certain affiliate and employee investments) in the Partnership will be limited to 3% of the Partnership’s total ownership interests, measured by reference to both number of ownership interests and the fair market value of such ownership interests (“per fund limit”). In addition, total investments in covered funds by Morgan Stanley (aggregated with certain affiliate and employee investments) in reliance on the asset management exception and certain other exemptions are limited to 3% of Morgan Stanley’s tier 1 capital (“aggregate limit”). A change in the tier 1 capital of Morgan Stanley may mean that retention of some or all of the ownership interests in the Partnership by Morgan Stanley or certain of its affiliates and employees would violate the aggregate investment limit. In addition, redemptions from the Partnership, withdrawal or default of an investor in the Partnership, or an excuse or election to not participate in a call for capital contributions by an investor in the Partnership, may cause a violation of the per fund limit by Morgan Stanley. To the extent that the retention of an interest in the Partnership or further investment in the Partnership by Morgan Stanley or certain of its affiliates and employees would result in a violation of either the per fund limit or the aggregate limit, then Morgan Stanley and certain of its affiliates and employees may be required to dispose, transfer or otherwise reduce some or all of its interests in the Partnership or may be prohibited, entirely or partially, from making further investments in the Partnership.

The Final Rule also contains a general prohibition on “covered transactions,” as defined in Section 23A of the Federal Reserve Act, as amended (“FRA”), and certain other transactions set forth in Section 23B of the FRA, between a banking entity and any covered fund (or any other covered fund controlled by such covered fund) (i) for which the banking entity serves, directly or indirectly, as the investment manager, investment adviser, commodity trading advisor or sponsor, or (ii) that was organized and offered by the banking entity, or (iii) in which the banking entity continues to hold an ownership interest, pursuant to a particular Volcker Rule exemption. These general prohibitions restrict certain lending, hedging, and other transactions and relationships between Morgan Stanley affiliates and the Partnership.

While the General Partner will endeavor to minimize the impact of the Volcker Rule and the Final Rule on the Partnership, Morgan Stanley’s interests in determining what actions to take in implementing a compliance program under the Volcker Rule may conflict with the interests of the Partnership, the General Partner, and the limited partners, all of which may be adversely affected by such actions.

In addition, further restrictions and limitations on Morgan Stanley, the Partnership and the General Partner may emerge as additional regulatory guidance and interpretations are provided on the Volcker Rule and Final Rule. To this end, and despite the issuance of the Final Rule, certain aspects of the Volcker Rule remain unclear and susceptible to alternative interpretations. The foregoing is, thus, not an exhaustive discussion of the potential risks the Volcker Rule poses for Morgan Stanley, the Partnership and the Limited Partners.

Each prospective investor should consult its own legal counsel to determine how it could be impacted by the Volcker Rule, the Final Rule and other aspects of the Dodd-Frank Act.

ANY LOSSES IN THE PARTNERSHIP WILL BE BORNE SOLELY BY INVESTORS IN THE PARTNERSHIP AND NOT BY MORGAN STANLEY AND ITS AFFILIATES. THEREFORE, MORGAN STANLEY’S LOSSES IN THE PARTNERSHIP WILL BE LIMITED TO LOSSES ATTRIBUTABLE TO THE OWNERSHIP INTERESTS IN THE PARTNERSHIP HELD BY MORGAN STANLEY AND ITS AFFILIATES IN THEIR CAPACITY AS INVESTORS IN THE PARTNERSHIP. INTERESTS IN THE PARTNERSHIP ARE NOT INSURED BY THE FEDERAL DEPOSIT INSURANCE CORPORATION AND ARE NOT DEPOSITS, OBLIGATIONS OF, OR ENDORSED OR GUARANTEED IN ANY WAY, BY MORGAN STANLEY AND ITS AFFILIATES. MORGAN STANLEY AND ITS AFFILIATES DO NOT, DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY, GUARANTEE, ASSUME OR OTHERWISE INSURE THE OBLIGATIONS OR PERFORMANCE OF THE PARTNERSHIP DESCRIBED HEREIN OR ANY COVERED FUND IN WHICH SUCH PARTNERSHIP INVESTS. MORGAN STANLEY IS THE SPONSOR OF THE PARTNERSHIP FOR PURPOSES OF SECTION 619 OF THE DODD-FRANK ACT (“THE VOLCKER RULE”). A DESCRIPTION OF THE ROLE AND SERVICES OF MORGAN STANLEY IS PROVIDED HEREIN.

Assets Held in Accounts at U.S. Banks May Not Be Fully Insured. The assets of the Partnership that are deposited with commodity brokers or their affiliates may be placed in deposit accounts at U.S. banks. The FDIC insures deposits held at insured depository institutions for up to $250,000 (including principal and accrued interest) for each insurable capacity (e.g., individual accounts, joint accounts, corporate accounts, etc.), though deposits in separate branches of an insured institution are not separately insured. If the FDIC were to become receiver of an insured U.S. bank holding deposit accounts that were established by a commodity broker or one of its affiliates, then it is uncertain whether the commodity broker, the affiliate involved, the Partnership, or the investor would be able to reclaim cash in the deposit accounts above $250,000.

Other Federal Agencies, Including the SEC and the CFTC, Regulate Certain Activities of the Partnership and General Partner. Regulatory changes other than banking regulations could adversely affect the Partnership by restricting its trading activities and/or increasing the costs or taxes to which the investors are subject. The Dodd-Frank Act, among other things, grants the CFTC and SEC broad rulemaking authority to implement various provisions of the Dodd-Frank Act, including comprehensive regulation of the OTC derivatives market and certain foreign exchange transactions. The implementation of the Dodd-Frank Act could adversely affect the Partnership by increasing transaction and/or regulatory compliance costs. In addition, greater regulatory scrutiny may increase the Partnership’s and the General Partner’s exposure to potential liabilities. Increased regulatory oversight can also impose administrative burdens on the General Partner, including, without limitation, responding to investigations and implementing new policies and procedures. As a result, the General Partner’s time, attention and resources may be diverted from portfolio management activities.

Other potentially adverse regulatory initiatives could develop suddenly and without notice.

~~The~~5 General Partner, the Partnership and its Service Providers and their Respective Operations Are Potentially Vulnerable to Cyber-Security Attacks or Incidents. Like other business enterprises, the use of the internet and other electronic media and technology exposes the General Partner, the Partnership and its service providers, and their respective operations, to potential risks from cyber-security attacks or incidents (collectively, “cyber events”). Cyber events may include, for example, unauthorized access to systems, networks or devices, infection from computer viruses or other malicious software code, mishandling ormisuse of information and attacks which shut down, disable, slow or otherwise disrupt operations, business processes or website access or functionality. In addition to intentional cyber events, unintentional cyber events can occur. Unintentional cyber events may include, for example, the inadvertent release of confidential information, the mishandling or misuse of information and/or technological limitations or hardware failures (in the markets or otherwise) that constrain the Partnership’s ability to gather, process and communicate information efficiently and securely, without interruption.

Any cyber event could adversely affect the Partnership’s business, financial condition or results of operations and cause the Partnership to incur financial loss and expense, as well as face exposure to regulatory penalties or legal claims, reputational damage and additional costs associated with corrective measures. A cyber-security breach could also jeopardize a limited partner’s personal, confidential, proprietary or other information processed and stored in, and transmitted through, the General Partner’s or a service provider’s computer systems. A cyber event may cause the Partnership or its service providers to lose proprietary information, suffer data corruption, lose operational capacity (such as, for example, the loss of the ability to process transactions, calculate the Partnership’s net asset value, or allow investors to transact business) and/or fail to comply with applicable privacy and other laws. Among other potentially harmful effects, cyber events also may result in theft, unauthorized monitoring and failures in the physical infrastructure or operating systems that support the Partnership or its service providers.

The nature of malicious cyber-attacks is becoming increasingly sophisticated and neither the General Partner nor the Partnership can control the cyber systems and cyber-security systems of the Trading Advisors or other third-party service providers.

The General Partner May Determine to Invest Up To All of the Partnership’s Assets in U.S. Treasury Bills and/or Money Market Mutual Fund Securities. The General Partner has invested a portion, and may determine to invest up to all, of the Partnership’s assets in U.S. Treasury bills and/or money market mutual funds, including money market mutual funds managed by Morgan Stanley or its affiliates. The Partnership will retain all interest income earned on U.S. Treasury bills and money market mutual fund securities purchased.

In the event that the General Partner is required to liquidate U.S. Treasury bills before they mature, to meet redemption requests or otherwise, the Partnership may incur a loss on such U.S. Treasury bills and/or may be subject to additional fees or other costs. The General Partner will endeavor to maintain sufficient cash in the Partnership’s accounts in order to meet margin requirements and avoid early liquidation of U.S. Treasury bills.

Although a money market mutual fund currently seeks to preserve the value of each of its shares at $1.00 per share, it is possible to incur losses when investing in a money market mutual fund. An investment in a money market mutual fund is not insured or guaranteed by any government agency. A money market mutual fund may experience significant pressures from, among other things, shareholder redemptions, issuer credit downgrades and illiquid markets. There have been some money market mutual funds that have “broken the buck,” which means that, upon redemption, investors in those funds did not receive $1.00 per share for their investments in those funds. Recent rule amendments adopted by the SEC will require certain money market mutual funds to implement floating net asset values in the future that will not preserve the value of each of its shares at $1.00 per share. The implementation of these rule amendments may impact the Partnership’s use of these money market mutual funds for capital preservation purposes.

Allowing Investments by Benefit Plan Investors may Result in Adverse Consequences Under ERISA or the Code. As discussed below under “Purchases by Employee Benefit Plans,” it is the current intent of the General Partner to conduct its operations so that the assets of each class of equity interests in the Partnership should not be deemed to constitute the “plan assets” of Benefit Plan Investors. If, however, the Partnership were deemed to hold “plan assets” of Benefit Plan Investors: (i) ERISA’s fiduciary standards may apply to the Partnership and might materially affect the operations of the Partnership, and (ii) any transaction with the Partnership could be deemed a transaction with each benefit plan investor and may cause transactions into which the Partnership might enter in the ordinary course of business to constitute prohibited transactions under ERISA and/or § 4975 of the Code. In order to avoid having the assets of the Partnership treated as “plan assets,” the General Partner intends to restrict the acquisition and/or redemption of Units, and such restrictions could delay or preclude the ability to transfer or redeem Units, or cause Units to lose value. However, there can be no assurances that this strategy will be successful.

Risks Relating to Futures Interests Trading and the Futures Interests Markets

Futures Interests Trading is Speculative and Volatile. The rapid fluctuations in the market prices of Futures Interests make an investment in the Partnership volatile. Volatility is caused by, among other things, changes in supply and demand relationships; weather; agricultural, trade, fiscal, monetary and exchange control programs; domestic and foreign political and economic events and policies; and changes in interest rates. If a Trading Advisor incorrectly predicts the direction of prices in Futures Interests, large losses may occur. The Partnership’s performance will be volatile on a monthly and an annual basis. The Partnership could lose all or substantially all of its assets.

The Partnership’s Futures Interests Trading is Highly Leveraged such that Small Changes in the Price of the Partnership’s Positions May Result in Substantial Losses. Trading Advisors may use substantial leverage in trading the Partnership’s assets. Trading Futures Interests involves substantial leverage, which could result in immediate and substantial losses. Due to the low margin deposits normally required in trading Futures Interests (typically between 2% and 15% of the value of the contract purchased or sold), an extremely high degree of leverage is typical of a Futures Interests trading account. As a result, a relatively small price movement in Futures Interests may result in immediate and substantial losses to the investor. For example, if 10% of the face value of a contract is deposited as margin for that contract, a 10% decrease in the value of the contract would cause a total loss of the margin deposit. A decrease of more than 10% in the value of the contract would cause a loss greater than the amount of the margin deposit.

The leverage employed by the Trading Advisors in their trading can vary substantially from month to month. This leverage, expressed as the underlying value of the Partnership’s positions compared to the average net assets of the Partnership, is anticipated to range from two times the Partnership’s net assets to ten times the Partnership’s net assets. Under certain conditions, however, the Partnership’s leverage could exceed (or be less than) such range. The amount of margin required to be deposited with respect to an individual futures contract is determined by the exchange upon which the contract is traded and the commodity broker at which the position is held and may be changed at any time.

Options Trading Can be More Volatile than Futures Trading, and Purchasing and Writing Options Could Result in Trading Losses. The Partnership may trade options on futures. Although successful options trading requires many of the same skills as successful futures trading, the risks are different. Successful options trading requires a trader to assess accurately near-term market volatility because that volatility is immediately reflected in the price of outstanding options. Correct assessment of market volatility can therefore be of much greater significance in trading options than it is in many long-term futures strategies where volatility does not have as great an effect on the price of a futures contract. Specific market movements of the commodities or futures contracts underlying an option cannot accurately be predicted. The purchaser of an option may lose the entire premium paid for the option. The writer, or seller, of a put option collects a premium and risks losing the difference between the strike price and the market price of the underlying commodity or futures contract (less the premium received) if the option buyer exercises its put option. The writer, or seller, of a call option has unlimited risk. A call option writer collects a premium and risks losing the difference between the price it would have to pay to obtain the underlying commodity or futures contract and the strike price (less the premium received) if the option buyer exercises its call option.

Market Illiquidity May Cause Less Favorable Trade Prices. Although the Trading Advisors generally will purchase and sell actively-traded contracts where last trade price information and quoted prices are readily available, the price at which a sale or purchase occurs may differ from the price expected because there may be a delay between receiving a quote and executing a trade, particularly in circumstances where a market has limited trading volume and prices are often quoted for relatively limited quantities. In addition, most U.S. futures exchanges have established “daily price fluctuation limits” which preclude the execution of trades at prices outside of the limit, and, from time to time, the CFTC or the exchanges may suspend trading in market disruption circumstances. In these cases it is possible that the Partnership could be required to maintain a losing position that it otherwise would execute and incur significant losses or be unable to establish a position and miss a profit opportunity.

Factors that can contribute to market illiquidity for exchange-traded contracts include:

●

exchange-imposed price fluctuation limits;

●

limits on the number of contracts speculative traders may hold in most commodity markets; and

●

market disruptions.

The General Partner expects that non-exchange traded contracts will be traded for commodity interests for which there is generally a liquid underlying market. Such markets, however, may experience periods of illiquidity and are also subject to market disruptions.

Since the Trading Advisors already manage sizable assets in the commodity markets, it is possible that the Partnership may encounter illiquid situations. It is impossible to quantify the frequency or magnitude of these risks, however, especially because the conditions often occur unexpectedly.

Trading on Non-U.S. Exchanges Presents Greater Risks to the Partnership than Trading on U.S. Exchanges. The Partnership trades on exchanges located outside the U.S. Trading on U.S. exchanges is subject to CFTC regulation and oversight, including, for example, minimum capital requirements for commodity brokers, segregation of customer funds, regulation of trading practices on the exchanges, prohibitions against trading ahead of customer orders, prohibitions against filling orders off exchanges, prescribed risk disclosure statements, testing and licensing of industry sales personnel and other industry professionals, and recordkeeping requirements, and other requirements and restrictions for the purpose of preventing price manipulation and other disruptions to market integrity, avoiding systemic risk, preventing fraud and promoting innovation, competition and financial integrity of transactions. Trading on non-U.S. exchanges is not regulated by the CFTC or any other U.S. governmental agency or instrumentality and may be subject to regulations that are different from those to which U.S. exchange trading is subject, may provide less protection to investors than trading on U.S. exchanges, and may be less vigorously enforced than regulations in the U.S.

Trading on non-U.S. exchanges involves some risks that trading on U.S. exchanges does not, such as:

Lack of Investor Protection Regulation

The rights of the Partnership in the event of the insolvency or bankruptcy of a non-U.S. market, broker or bank are likely to differ from rights that the Partnership would have in the U.S. and these rights may be more limited than in the case of failures of U.S. markets, brokers or banks.

Possible Governmental Intervention

Generally, non-U.S. brokers are not subject to the jurisdiction of the CFTC or any other U.S. regulator. In addition, the Partnership’s assets held outside of the U.S. to margin transactions on non-U.S. exchanges are held in accordance with the client assets protection regime and the insolvency laws of the applicable jurisdiction. A non-U.S. government might halt trading in a market and/or take possession of the Partnership’s assets maintained in its country in which case the assets may never be recovered. The General Partner might have little or no notice that such events were happening. In such circumstances, the General Partner may not be able to obtain the Partnership’s assets.

Relatively New Markets

Some non-U.S. exchanges on which the Partnership is permitted to trade may be in developmental stages so that prior price histories may not be indicative of current price patterns.

Exchange-Rate Exposure

The Partnership is valued in U.S. dollars. Contracts on foreign exchanges are usually traded in the local currency. The Partnership’s assets held in connection with contracts priced and settled in a foreign currency may be held in a foreign depository in accounts denominated in a foreign currency. Changes in the value of the local currency relative to the U.S. dollar could cause losses to the Partnership even if the contract traded is profitable.

Risks Associated with Affiliates

The Partnership’s clearing broker may use an affiliate to carry and clear transactions on foreign exchanges. While the use of affiliates can provide certain benefits, it can also pose certain risks. In particular, if a clearing broker or an affiliated foreign broker were to fail, it is likely that all of its affiliated companies would fail or be placed in administration within a relatively brief period of time. Each of these companies would be liquidated in accordance with the bankruptcy laws of the local jurisdiction. Moreover, return of the Partnership’s assets held at affiliated non-U.S. brokers would be delayed, perhaps for a significant period of time, and would be subject to additional administrative costs. If, on the other hand, a clearing broker had cleared its customers’ non-U.S. futures and options transactions through unaffiliated non-U.S. brokers, such broker likely would not have failed and the clearing broker’s bankruptcy trustee could have directed the non-U.S. broker to liquidate all of the Partnership’s positions and return the balance to the trustee for distribution to the Partnership.

The Unregulated Nature of Uncleared Trades in the OTC Markets Creates Counterparty Risks that Do Not Exist in Futures Trading on Exchanges or in Cleared Swaps. Unlike futures contracts and cleared swaps, uncleared trades, such as forward contracts, some swaps and some OTC “spot” contracts, are entered into between private parties off an exchange or other trading platform and are not subject to clearing. As a result, the performance of those contracts is not guaranteed by an exchange or its clearinghouse, and the Partnership is at risk with respect to the ability of the counterparty to perform on the contract, including the creditworthiness of the counterparty. Trading of foreign exchange spot contracts or foreign exchange forwards and foreign exchange swaps (as such terms are defined in the Dodd-Frank Act), and of uncleared swaps is not regulated or is subject to limited regulation; therefore, there are limited or no specific standards or regulatory supervision of trade pricing and other trading activities that occur in those markets. The Partnership trades such contracts with MS&Co. and is at risk with respect to the creditworthiness and trading practices of MS&Co. as the counterparty to the contracts. See “Trading Swaps Creates Distinctive Risks” below.

Forward Foreign Currency and Spot Contracts Historically Were Not Regulated When Traded Between Certain “Eligible Contract Participants” and Are Subject to Credit Risk. The Partnership may trade forward contracts in foreign currencies and may engage in spot commodity transactions (transactions in physical commodities). These contracts, unlike futures contracts and options on futures, historically were not regulated by the CFTC when traded between certain “eligible contract participants,” as defined in the Commodity Exchange Act., as amended. On July 21, 2010, the then President signed into law major financial services reform legislation in the form of the Dodd-Frank Act. The Dodd-Frank Act includes foreign currency forwards and foreign currency swaps (as such terms are defined in the Dodd-Frank Act) in the definition of “swap.”, ~~The~~“and ~~CFTC~~therefore, ~~has~~contemplates ~~been~~that ~~granted~~certain ~~authority~~of tothese ~~regulate~~contracts ~~all~~may ~~swaps~~be exchanged-traded, ~~but~~cleared ~~grants~~by ~~the~~a ~~U.S.~~clearing ~~Treasury~~house ~~Department~~and regulated by the ~~discretion~~CFTC. toCurrently, ~~exempt~~forward foreign currency ~~forwards~~contracts ~~and~~are regulated by the CFTC (although a limited category of forward foreign currency ~~swaps~~contracts ~~from~~have ~~all~~been ~~aspects~~excluded offrom regulation under the Dodd-Frank Act). ~~other~~Regulation ~~than reporting,~~could ~~recordkeeping~~entail increased costs, and ~~business~~among ~~conduct~~other ~~rules~~things, ~~for~~result ~~swap~~in ~~dealers~~additional recordkeeping and ~~major~~reporting ~~swap participants~~requirements.

The percentage of the Partnership’s positions that are expected to constitute foreign currency forwards and foreign currency swaps can vary substantially from month to month.

Trading Swaps Creates Distinctive Risks. The Trading Advisors may trade in certain swaps. Unlike futures and options on futures contracts, most swap contracts currently are not traded on or cleared by an exchange or clearinghouse. The CFTC currently requires only a limited class of swap contracts (certain interest rate and credit default swaps) to be cleared by a clearinghouse and executed on an exchange or ~~other~~swap ~~organized~~execution facility. Inter-affiliate swaps that meet certain criteria are exempt from the CFTC’s mandatory clearing and exchange trading ~~platform~~requirements. In accordance with the Dodd-Frank Act, the CFTC will in the future determine which other classes of swap contracts will be required to be cleared by a clearinghouse and executed on an exchange or ~~other~~swap ~~organized~~execution ~~trading platform~~facility. Until such time as these transactions are cleared, the Partnership will be subject to a greater risk of counterparty default on its swaps. Because swaps do not generally involve the delivery of underlying assets or principal, the amount payable upon default and early termination is usually calculated by reference to the current market value of the contract. Swap dealers and major swap participants require the Partnership to deposit initial margin and variation margin as collateral to support the Partnership’s obligation under the swap agreement but may not themselves provide collateral for the benefit of the Partnership (except to the extent required, beginning September 1, 2016, under the rules finalized by the CFTC and the prudential regulators as described below). If the counterparty to such a swap defaults, the Partnership would be a general unsecured creditor for any termination amounts owed by the counterparty to the Partnership as well as for any collateral deposits in excess of the amounts owed by the Partnership to the counterparty, which would likely result in losses to the Partnership.

There are no limitations on daily price movements in swaps. Speculative position limits are not currently applicable to swaps, but in the future may be applicable for swaps on certain commodities. In addition, participants in the swap markets are not required to make continuous markets in the swaps they trade, and determining a market value for calculation of termination amounts can lead to uncertain results.

109

Trading of swaps has been and will continue to be subject to substantial change under the Dodd-Frank Act and related regulatory action. Under the Dodd-Frank Act, many commodity swaps may be required to be cleared through central clearing parties and executed on exchanges or other organized trading platforms. Security-based swaps will be subject to similar requirements. The CFTC and the prudential regulators that oversee swap dealers finalized rules regarding margin for uncleared swaps that imposed certain requirements beginning September 1, 2016 that may adversely impact the manner in which such swaps are traded and/or settled or increase the costs of such trades. Uncleared swaps will generally be subject to initial and variation margin requirements which may require the Partnership to post collateral to swap dealers and collect collateral from swap dealers. Additional regulatory requirements will apply to all swaps, whether subject to mandatory clearing or not. These include collateral and capital requirements, reporting obligations, speculative position limits for certain swaps, and other regulatory requirements. Swaps which are not offered for clearing by a clearing house will continue to be traded bi-laterally. Such bi-lateral transactions will remain subject to many of the risks discussed in the preceding paragraphs.

Non-U.S. depositories are not subject to U.S. regulation. The Partnership’s assets held in these depositories are subject to the risk that events could occur which would hinder or prevent the availability of these funds for distribution to customers, including the Partnership. Such events may include actions by the government of the jurisdiction in which the depository is located including expropriation, taxation, moratoria and political or diplomatic events.

Implementation of Legislation is Not Complete. Rules implementing the Dodd-Frank Act and similar legislation in other countries are not yet complete. The impact of future rules on transactions of the type undertaken by the Partnership is not certain.

Changes in Regulation of Swaps Could Lead to Increased Costs. As the Dodd-Frank Act and related rules, as well as analogous legislation and regulations in other countries, are implemented and market infrastructure adapts to the changes, the cost of engaging in trading of swaps and other products could increase, reducing the profits from those trades.

Central Clearing Parties Could Fail. Central clearing parties are highly capitalized. Cleared transactions are supported by initial and variation margin. As a result, failure of a central clearing party is highly unlikely. If a central clearing party were to fail, however, the impact on the financial system in general and on the Partnership’s positions in particular is uncertain and could affect a large portion of the market.

Deregistration of the Commodity Pool Operator or a Commodity Trading Advisor Could Disrupt Operations. The General Partner is a registered commodity pool operator and each Trading Advisor is registered with the CFTC as a commodity trading advisor. If the CFTC were to terminate, suspend, revoke or not renew the registration of the General Partner, the General Partner would withdraw as general partner of the Partnership. The limited partners would then determine whether to select a replacement general partner or to dissolve the Partnership. If the CFTC were to terminate, suspend, revoke or not renew the registration of any Trading Advisor, the General Partner would terminate the Trading Advisor’s advisory agreement with the Partnership. The General Partner could reallocate the Partnership’s assets managed by the relevant Trading Advisor to new trading advisor(s) or terminate the Partnership. No action is currently pending or threatened against the General Partner or any Trading Advisor.

The Partnership is Subject to Speculative Position Limits. U.S. futures exchanges have established speculative position limits (referred to as “position limits”) on the maximum net long or net short position, which any person or group of persons may hold or control in particular futures and options on futures. Most exchanges also limit the amount of fluctuation in commodity futures contract prices on a single trading day. Therefore, a Trading Advisor may have to modify its trading instructions or reduce the size of its position in one or more futures or options contracts in order to avoid exceeding such position limits, which could adversely affect the profitability of the Partnership. The futures exchange may amend or adjust these position limits or the interpretation of how such limits are applied, adversely affecting the profitability of the Partnership. In addition, in October 2011, the CFTC adopted rules governing position limits on futures (and options on futures) on a number of agricultural, energy and metals commodities, as well as on swaps that perform a significant price discovery function with respect to those futures and options. In September 2012, the CFTC’s rules were vacated by the United States District Court for the District of Columbia and remanded to the CFTC for further consideration. The CFTC proposed revised position limits rules late in 2013. The comment period for the rules closed in February 2014, and the CFTC subsequently reopened comment periods for comments about certain issues related to futures and options contracts on agricultural commodities only. The CFTC re-proposed revised position limits rules late in 2016, and the comment period for the rules closed in February 2017. It is possible that these rules may take effect in some form. If so, these rules could have an adverse effect on the Partnership’s trading.

1110

The Partnership has Credit Risk to the Commodity Brokers. The Partnership has credit risk because the commodity brokers act as the futures commission merchants for futures transactions or the counterparties of OTC transactions, with respect to most of the Partnership’s assets. As such, in the event that the commodity brokers are unable to perform, the Partnership’s assets are at risk and, in such event, the Partnership may only recover a portion of its investment or nothing at all. Exchange-traded futures and futures- styled option contracts are marked to market on a daily basis, with variations in value credited or charged to the Partnership’s account on a daily basis. The commodity brokers, as futures commission merchants for the Partnership’s exchange-traded contracts, are required, pursuant to CFTC regulations, to segregate from their own assets, and for the sole benefit of their commodity customers, all funds held by them with respect to exchange-traded futures and futures-styled options contracts, including an amount equal to the net unrealized gain on all open futures and futures-styled options contracts. Similar requirements apply with respect to funds held in connection with cleared swap contracts.

In the event of a shortfall in segregated customer funds held by the futures commission merchant, the Partnership’s assets on account with the futures commission merchant may be at risk in the event of the futures commission merchant’s bankruptcy or insolvency, and in such event, the Partnership may only recover a portion of the available customer funds. If no property is available for distribution, the Partnership would not recover any of its assets. With respect to the Partnership’s OTC foreign exchange contracts and uncleared swaps with MS&Co. prior to the implementation of the Dodd-Frank Act’s provisions, there was no requirement to segregate funds held with respect to such contracts. The CFTC and the prudential regulators that oversee swap dealers finalized rules regarding margin for uncleared swaps that imposed certain requirements beginning September 1, 2016 that may adversely impact the manner in which such swaps are traded and/or settled or increase the costs of such trades. Uncleared swaps will generally be subject to initial and variation margin requirements which may require the Partnership to post collateral to swap dealers and collect collateral from swap dealers. Any initial margin that may be required to be posted by a swap dealer or the Partnership must be segregated and held by an independent third party custodian and cannot be rehypothecated. Variation margin is not required to be segregated and may be rehypothecated. There may also be costs and delays involved in negotiating the custodial arrangement and related contractual terms.

Risks Relating to the Trading Advisors

Since the future performance of the Trading Advisors is unpredictable, the Trading Advisors’ past performance is not necessarily indicative of future results.

Reliance on the Trading Advisors to Trade Successfully. The Trading Advisors are responsible for making all Futures Interests trading decisions on behalf of the Partnership. The General Partner has no control over the specific trades the Trading Advisors may make, leverage used, risks and/or concentrations assumed or whether the Trading Advisors will act in accordance with the disclosure documents or descriptive materials furnished by them to the General Partner. The General Partner can provide no assurance that the trading program employed by the Trading Advisors will be successful. The Trading Advisors, in turn, are dependent upon the services of a limited number of persons to develop and refine their trading approaches and strategies and execute the trading transactions. The loss of the services of any of the Trading Advisors’ principals or key employees, or the failure of those principals or key employees to function effectively as a team, may have an adverse effect on the Trading Advisors’ ability to manage their trading activities successfully, or may cause a Trading Advisor to cease operations entirely. This, in turn, could negatively affect the Partnership’s performance.

Possible Consequences of Using Multiple Trading Advisors. Each Trading Advisor makes trading decisions independent of the other Trading Advisors for the Partnership. Thus, it is possible that the Partnership could hold opposite positions in the same or similar Futures Interests, thereby offsetting any potential for profit from these positions. Each such position would cost the Partnership transactional expenses (such as brokerage commissions and NFA fees) but could not generate any recognized gain or loss. Moreover, the General Partner may reallocate the Partnership’s assets among the current Trading Advisors, terminate one or more or select additional Trading Advisor at any time. Any such reallocation could adversely affect the performance of the Partnership or any one Trading Advisor.

1211

Market Factors May Adversely Influence the Trading Advisors’ Trading Programs. Often, the most unprofitable market conditions for the Partnership are those in which prices “whipsaw,” that is, such price moves quickly upward (or downward), then reverses, then moves upward (or downward) again, then reverses again. In such conditions, the Trading Advisors may establish positions based on incorrectly identifying both the brief upward or downward price movements as trends, whereas in fact no trends sufficient to generate profits develop.

Increasing the Assets Managed by a Trading Advisor May Adversely Affect Their Performance. The rates of return achieved by a commodity trading advisor often diminish as the assets under its management increase. This can occur for many reasons, including the inability of the trading advisor to execute larger position sizes at desired prices and because of the need to adjust the trading advisor’s trading program to avoid exceeding speculative position limits. These are limits established by the CFTC and the exchanges on the number of speculative futures and options contracts in a commodity that one trader may own or control. The Trading Advisors have not agreed to limit the amount of additional assets that they will manage.

The Trading Advisors May Terminate Their Advisory Agreements. The advisory agreements with the Trading Advisors automatically renew annually unless terminated by the General Partner or the relevant Trading Advisor. In the event an advisory agreement is not renewed, the General Partner may not be able to enter into an arrangement with the relevant Trading Advisor or another trading advisor on terms substantially similar to the previous advisory agreement.

Disadvantages of Replacing or Switching Trading Advisors. The Trading Advisors are required to recoup previous trading losses before they can earn performance-based compensation. However, the General Partner may elect to replace a Trading Advisor if it has a “loss carry-forward.” In that case, the Partnership would lose the “free ride” of any potential recoupment of the prior losses. In addition, the new trading advisor(s) would earn performance-based compensation on the first dollars of investment profits. The effect of the replacement of, or the reallocation of assets away from, a Trading Advisor therefore could be significant.

Partnership Performance May Be Hindered by Increased Competition for Positions. Assets in managed futures have grown from an estimated $300 million in 1980 to approximately $~~355~~318.14 billion as of December 31, ~~2018~~2019 (source: BarclayHedge, Ltd., Fairfield, IA). This has resulted in increased trading competition. Since futures are traded in an auction-like market, the more competition there is for some contracts, the more difficult it is for the Trading Advisors to obtain the best prices for the Partnership. The Trading Advisors are required to use an allocation methodology that is fair to all customers.

You Will Not be Aware of Changes to the Trading Advisors’ Trading Programs. Because of the proprietary nature of the Trading Advisors’ trading programs, you generally will not be advised if adjustments are made to the Trading Advisors’ trading programs in order to accommodate additional assets under management or for any other reason.

You Will Not Have Access to the Partnership’s Positions and Must Rely on the General Partner to Monitor the Trading Advisors. As a limited partner, you will not have access to the Partnership’s trade positions. Consequently, you will not know whether the Trading Advisors are adhering to the Partnership’s trading policies and must rely on the ability of the General Partner to monitor trading and protect your investment.

Taxation Risks

Tax Laws Are Subject To Change at Any Time. Tax laws and court and IRS interpretations thereof are subject to change at any time, possibly with retroactive effect.

Prospective investors are urged to discuss scheduled and potential tax law changes with their own tax advisors.

You May Have Tax Liability Attributable To Your Interest in the Partnership Even If You Have Received No Distributions and Redeemed No Units and Even if the Partnership Generated a Loss. If the Partnership has profit for a taxable year, the profit will be includible in your taxable income, whether or not cash or other property is actually distributed to you by the Partnership. The General Partner presently does not intend to make any distributions from the Partnership. Accordingly, it is anticipated that U.S. federal income taxes on your allocable share of the Partnership’s profits will exceed the amount of distributions to you, if any, for a taxable year, so that you must be prepared to fund any tax liability from redemptions of Units or other sources. In addition, the Partnership may have capital losses from trading activities that cannot be deducted against the Partnership’s ordinary income (e.g., interest income, periodic net swap payments) so that you may have to pay taxes on ordinary income even if the Partnership generates a net loss.

The Partnership’s Tax Returns Could be Audited. The Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) could audit the Partnership’s U.S. federal income tax returns. If an audit results in an adjustment to the Partnership’s tax return, limited partners in the Partnership could be required to file amended returns and pay additional tax. Pursuant to ~~newly~~legislation effective ~~legislation~~for tax years beginning on or after January 1, 2018, audits of the Partnership generally will be conducted at the Partnership level and any adjustment that results in additional tax (including interest and penalties thereon) will be assessed and collected at the Partnership level in the current taxable year, with the current partners indirectly bearing such cost, unless the Partnership is eligible, to and makes an election to issue adjusted K-1s to those partners that were partners in the taxable year subject to audit. Therefore, unless the Partnership elects otherwise, the Partnership may be directly responsible in the current taxable year for the income tax liability resulting from an audit adjustment that relates to a prior taxable year in which a current limited partner did not own an interest in the Partnership or in which the limited partner’s ownership percentage has since changed. ~~The~~Limited ~~full~~Partners ~~implications of these new rules are not yet known and limited partners~~ should consult with their tax advisers regarding the potential implications of this new audit regime.

You Will Recognize Short-Term Capital Gain. Profits on futures contracts traded in regulated U.S. and some foreign exchanges, foreign currency contracts traded in the interbank market, and U.S. and some ~~non-U.S.~~foreign exchange-traded options on commodities are generally taxed as short-term capital gain to the extent of 40% of gains with respect to ~~sections~~ Section 1256 contracts and at least 50% of the gain arising from a mixed straddle account and are currently taxed at a maximum marginal ordinary U.S. federal income tax rate of 37% for non-corporate ~~tax payers~~taxpayers.

~~The~~Limitations ~~IRS Could~~on ~~Take the Position that~~ Deductions for ~~Certain~~Fund ~~Partnership~~ Expenses ~~Are Subject to Various Limitations~~. ~~Partners~~Special ~~could~~rules beapply ~~required by the IRS~~ to ~~treat~~deductions ~~certain~~of ~~Partnership expenses as~~ “investment advisory ~~fees~~expenses,” ~~which~~by ~~are subject to substantial restrictions on deductibility for~~ non-corporate taxpayers. AsUnder ~~a result of~~ tax legislation commonly known as the “Tax Cuts and Jobs Act,” enacted on December 22, 2017 as Public Law 115-97, no deduction for such expenses, or for other miscellaneous itemized deductions, is permitted for tax years between 2018 and 2025. For tax years beginning after 2025, deductions for such expenses are subject to certain limitations for U.S. federal income tax purposes, and are not allowed for alternative minimum tax purposes. Prospective investors should discuss with their tax advisors the tax consequences of an investment in the Partnership.

For tax years beginning after December 31, 2025, deductions for such expenses are subject to certain limitations for U.S. federal income tax purposes, and are not allowed for alternative minimum tax purposes. The IRS could take the position that certain Partnership expenses are investment advisory expenses and thus subject Partnership investors to disallowance of, or limitations on, deductions of allocated Partnership expenses.

Prospective investors should discuss these issues with their personal tax advisors.

Tax Laws Are Subject To Change at Any Time. Tax laws and court and IRS interpretations thereof are subject to change at any time, possibly with retroactive effect. Prospective investors are urged to discuss scheduled and potential tax law changes with their own tax advisors.

Non-U.S. Investors May Face Exchange Rate Risk and Local Tax Consequences. Non-U.S. investors should note that Units are denominated in U.S. dollars and that changes in rates of exchange between currencies may cause the value of their investment to decrease or to increase. Non-U.S. investors should consult their own tax advisors concerning the applicable U.S. and non-U.S. tax implications of this investment.

Non-U.S. Investors Have Reporting Responsibilities and the Partnership May Need to Withhold Taxes. The Partnership is required to impose a withholding tax of 30% on income allocable to certain non-U.S. investors that is attributable to certain U.S. investments, unless such investors satisfy certain reporting requirements. A number of non-U.S. countries have negotiated intergovernmental agreements with the U.S. Department of the Treasury regarding the implementation of this reporting and withholding regime, with some agreements potentially providing for information exchange from the U.S. authorities to non-U.S. revenue authorities regarding the U.S. financial accounts of non-U.S. persons. An investor’s failure to document appropriately its compliance with the reporting rules may cause the investor to be subject to this U.S. withholding tax.

The continuing spread of a new strain of coronavirus, which causes the viral disease known as COVID-19, may adversely affect our investments and operations.

Since its discovery in December 2019, a new strain of coronavirus, which causes the viral disease known as COVID-19, has spread from China to many other countries, including the United States. The outbreak has been declared a pandemic by the World Health Organization, and the U.S. Health and Human Services Secretary has declared a public health emergency in the United States in response to the outbreak.

The outbreak of the novel coronavirus in many countries is having and will likely continue to have an adverse impact on global commercial activity, which has contributed to significant volatility in financial markets. The global impact of the outbreak has been rapidly evolving, and as cases of the virus have been identified in additional countries, many countries have reacted by instituting quarantines and restrictions on travel. These actions are creating disruption in supply chains, and adversely impacting a number of industries, including but not limited to transportation, hospitality, and entertainment.

The impact of COVID-19 on the U.S. and world economies, and the extent of and effectiveness of any responses taken on a national and local level, is uncertain and could result in a world-wide economic downturn and disrupt financial markets that impact trading programs in unanticipated and unintended ways.

The rapid development of this situation precludes any prediction as to the ultimate adverse impact of the novel coronavirus. Nevertheless, the novel coronavirus presents material uncertainty and risk with respect to the Partnership’s investments and operations.

Item 3. Legal Proceedings.

This section describes the major pending legal proceedings, other than ordinary routine litigation incidental to the business, to which MS&Co. or its subsidiaries is a party or to which any of their property is subject. There are no material legal proceedings pending against the Partnership or the General Partner.

On June 1, 2011, Morgan Stanley & Co. Incorporated converted from a Delaware corporation to a Delaware limited liability company. As a result of that conversion, Morgan Stanley & Co. Incorporated is now named Morgan Stanley & Co. LLC (“MS&Co.”).

MS&Co. is a wholly-owned, indirect subsidiary of Morgan Stanley, a Delaware holding company. Morgan Stanley files periodic reports with the SEC as required by the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), which include current descriptions of material litigation and material proceedings and investigations, if any, by governmental and/or regulatory agencies or self-regulatory organizations concerning Morgan Stanley and its subsidiaries, including MS&Co. As a consolidated subsidiary of Morgan Stanley, MS&Co. does not file its own periodic reports with the SEC that contain descriptions of material litigation, proceedings and investigations. As a result, we refer you to the “Legal Proceedings” section of Morgan Stanley’s SEC 10-K filings for 2018, 2017, 2016, 2015, and 2014. In addition, MS&Co. annually prepares an Audited, Consolidated Statement of Financial Condition (“Audited Financial Statement”) that is publicly available on Morgan Stanley’s website at www.morganstanley.com. We refer you to the Commitments, Guarantees and Contingencies – Legal section of MS&Co.’s 2018 Audited Financial Statement.

In addition to the matters described in those filings, in the normal course of business, each of Morgan Stanley and MS&Co. has been named, from time to time, as a defendant in various legal actions, including arbitrations, class actions, and other litigation, arising in connection with its activities as a global diversified financial services institution. Certain of the legal actions include claims for substantial compensatory and/or punitive damages or claims for indeterminate amounts of damages. Each of Morgan Stanley and MS&Co. is also involved, from time to time, in investigations and proceedings by governmental and/or regulatory agencies or self-regulatory organizations, certain of which may result in adverse judgments, fines or penalties. The number of these investigations and proceedings has increased in recent years with regard to many financial services institutions, including Morgan Stanley and MS&Co.

MS&Co. is a Delaware limited liability company with its main business office located at 1585 Broadway, New York, New York 10036. Among other registrations and memberships, MS&Co. is registered as a futures commission merchant and is a member of the National Futures Association.

During the preceding five years, the following administrative, civil, or criminal actions pending, on appeal or concluded against MS&Co. or any of its principals are material within the meaning of CFTC Rule 4.24(l)(2) or 4.34(k)(2):

On July 23, 2014, the SEC approved a settlement by MS&Co. and certain affiliates to resolve an investigation related to certain subprime RMBS transactions sponsored and underwritten by those entities in 2007. Pursuant to the settlement, MS&Co. and certain affiliates were charged with violating Sections 17(a)(2) and 17(a)(3) of the Securities Act, agreed to pay disgorgement and penalties in an amount of $275 million and neither admitted nor denied the SEC’s findings.

On April 21, 2015, the Chicago Board Options Exchange, Incorporated (CBOE) and the CBOE Futures Exchange, LLC (CFE) filed statements of charges against MS&Co. in connection with trading by one of MS&Co.’s former traders of EEM options contracts that allegedly disrupted the final settlement price of the November 2012 VXEM futures. CBOE alleged that MS&Co. violated CBOE Rules 4.1, 4.2 and 4.7, Sections 9(a) and 10(b) of the Exchange Act, and Rule 10b-5 thereunder. CFE alleged that MS&Co. violated CFE Rules 608, 609 and 620. The matters were resolved on July 12, 2016 and June 28, 2016, respectively, without any findings of fraud. Pursuant to the settlements, MS&Co. was required to pay a $750,000 penalty to the CBOE (for which MS&Co. and an individual were jointly and severally liable) and a $400,000 penalty to the CFE (for which MS&Co. and an individual were jointly and severally liable) and $152,664 in disgorgement.

On June 18, 2015, MS&Co. entered into a settlement with the SEC and paid a fine of $500,000 as part of the MCDC Initiative to resolve allegations that MS&Co. failed to form a reasonable basis through adequate due diligence for believing the truthfulness of the assertions by issuers and/or obligors regarding their compliance with previous continuing disclosure undertakings pursuant to Rule 15c2-12 in connection with offerings in which MS&Co. acted as senior or sole underwriter.

On August 6, 2015, MS&Co. consented to and became the subject of an order by the CFTC to resolve allegations that MS&Co. violated CFTC Regulation 22.9(a) by failing to hold sufficient US Dollars in cleared swap segregated accounts in the United States to meet all US Dollar obligations to cleared swaps customers. Specifically, the CFTC found that while MS&Co. at all times held sufficient funds in segregation to cover its obligations to its customers, on certain days during 2013 and 2014, it held currencies, such as euros, instead of US dollars, to meet its US dollar obligations. In addition, the CFTC found that MS&Co. violated CFTC Regulation 166.3 by failing to have in place adequate procedures to ensure that it complied with CFTC Regulation 22.9(a). Without admitting or denying the findings or conclusions and without adjudication of any issue of law or fact, MS&Co. accepted and consented to the entry of findings, the imposition ~~of a cease and desist order, a civil monetary penalty of $300,000, and undertakings related to public statements, cooperation, and payment of the monetary penalty.~~

~~On December 20, 2016, MS&Co. consented to and became the subject of an order by the SEC in connection with allegations that MS&Co. willfully violated Sections~~ 15~~(c)(3)~~ and 17(a)(1) of the Exchange Act and Rules 15c3-3(e), 17a-5(a), and 17a-5(d) thereunder, by inaccurately calculating its Reserve Account requirement under Rule 15c3-3 by including margin loans to an affiliate in its calculations, which resulted in making inaccurate records and

Incorporated et al., which is pending in the Supreme Court of the State of New York, New York County (“Supreme Court of NY”). The complaint relates to a $275 million credit default swap referencing the super senior portion of the STACK 2006-1 CDO. The complaint asserts claims for common law fraud, fraudulent inducement and fraudulent concealment and alleges that MS&Co. misrepresented the risks of the STACK 2006-1 CDO to CDIB, and that MS&Co. knew that the assets backing the CDO were of poor quality when it entered into the credit default ~~swap~~swaps with CDIB. The complaint seeks compensatory damages related to the approximately $228 million that CDIB alleges it has already lost under the ~~credit default swap~~CDS, rescission of CDIB’s obligation to pay an additional $12 million, punitive damages, equitable relief, fees and costs. On February 28, 2011, the court denied MS&Co.’s motion to dismiss the complaint. On June 27, 2018, ~~the~~MS&Co. ~~Firm~~ filed a motion for summary judgment and spoliation sanctions against CDIB.

At December 25, 2019, the current unpaid balance of the mortgage pass-through certificates at issue in this action was approximately $35 million, and the certificates had not yet incurred actual losses. Based on currently available information, MS&Co. believes it could incur a loss in this action up to the difference between the $35 million unpaid balance of these certificates (plus any losses incurred) and their fair market value at the time of a judgment against MS&Co., plus pre- and post-judgment interest, fees and costs. MS&Co. may be entitled to be indemnified for some of these losses and to an offset for interest received by the plaintiff prior to a judgment.

Beginning on March 25, 2019, MS&Co. was named as a defendant in a series of putative class action complaints filed in the Southern District of NY, the first of which was styled Alaska

Electrical Pension Fund v. BofA Secs., Inc., et al. Each complaint alleged a conspiracy to fix prices and restrain competition in the market for unsecured bonds issued by the following Government-Sponsored Enterprises: the Federal National Mortgage Associate; the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation; the Federal Farm Credit Banks Funding Corporation; and the Federal Home Loan Banks. The purported class period for each suit is from January 1, 2012 to June 1, 2018. Each complaint raised a claim under Section 1 of the Sherman Act and sought, among other things, injunctive relief and treble compensatory damages. On May 23, 2019, plaintiffs filed a consolidated amended class action complaint styled In re GSE Bonds Antitrust Litigation, with a purported class period from January 1, 2009 to January 1, 2016. On June 13, 2019, the defendants filed a joint motion to dismiss the consolidated amended complaint. On August 29, 2019, the court denied MS&Co.’s motion to dismiss. On December 15, 2019, MS&Co. and certain other defendants entered into a stipulation of settlement to resolve the action as against each of them in its entirety. On February 3, 2020, the court granted preliminary approval of that settlement.

Additional lawsuits containing claims similar to those described above may be filed in the future. In the course of its business, MS&Co., as a major futures commission merchant, is party to various civil actions, claims and routine regulatory investigations and proceedings that the General Partner believes do not have a material effect on the business of MS&Co. MS&Co. may establish reserves from time to time in connections with such actions.

Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.

Liquidity. The Partnership deposits its assets with MS&Co. as clearing commodity broker in separate Futures Interests 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 either in non-interest bearing bank accounts or in securities and instruments permitted by the CFTC for investment of customer segregated or secured funds. Since the Partnership’s sole purpose is to trade in Futures Interests, it is expected that the Partnership will continue to own such liquid assets for margin purposes.

The Partnership’s investment in Futures Interests, may, from time to time, be illiquid. Most U.S. futures exchanges limit fluctuations in prices during a single trading day by regulations referred to as “daily price fluctuation 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 movements 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.

Other than the risk inherent in commodity futures, forward, options, swaps and other derivatives trading and U.S. treasury bills and money market mutual fund securities, the Partnership knows of no 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 does it expect to have, any capital assets. The Partnership’s only assets are its (i) equity in trading account, consisting of restricted and unrestricted cash, net unrealized appreciation on open futures contracts, net unrealized appreciation on open forward contracts and investment in U.S. Treasury bills at fair value, if applicable, (ii) cash at bank and (iii) interest receivable. Redemptions of Units in the future will affect the amount of funds available for investments in Futures Interests in subsequent periods. It is not possible to estimate the amount, and therefore the impact, of future outflows of Units.

Other than discussed above, 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.

Results of Operations

General. The Partnership’s results depend on the Trading Advisors and the ability of each Trading Advisor’s trading program to take advantage of price movements in the futures, forwards and options markets.

Graham currently trades its allocated portion of the Partnership’s assets pursuant to Graham’s Global Diversified Program, as described below, at 150% Leverage. The Global Diversified Program features the first trend system that Graham developed, which began trading client accounts in 1995. It utilizes multiple computerized trading models and offers broad diversification in both financial and non-financial markets, trading in approximately 65 global markets. The Global Diversified Program’s trend system is primarily long-term in nature and is intended to generate significant returns over time with an acceptable degree of risk and volatility. The computer models analyze on a daily basis the recent price action, the relative strength and the risk characteristics of each market and compare statistically the quantitative results of this data to years of historical data on each market.

EMC currently trades its Classic Program for the Partnership. EMC’s investment strategies are technical rather than fundamental in nature. In other words, they are developed from analysis of patterns of actual monthly, weekly and daily price movements and are not based on analysis of fundamental supply and demand factors, general economic factors, or anticipated world events. EMC relies on historical analysis of these price patterns to interpret current market behavior and to evaluate technical indicators for trade initiations and liquidations. EMC’s investment strategies used in its program are trend-following. This means that initiation and liquidation of positions in a particular market are generally in the direction of the price trend in that market, although at times counter-trend elements also may be employed. EMC employs an investment strategy which utilizes a blend of systems (or, stated another way, a number of systems simultaneously). The strategies are diversified in that its program follows a number of Futures Interests and often invests in more than ten different interests at one time.

Prior to its termination on December 31, 2017, Rabar traded its investment strategy on behalf of the Partnership. The objective of Rabar’s investment strategy was to generate capital appreciation over the long run by investing exclusively in Futures Interests, including exchange-traded futures contracts, options on futures contracts, foreign currency forward contracts and, to a very limited extent, cash commodities. Rabar may have also engaged in exchange for physical transactions, more commonly referred to as “EFPs”. Rabar’s strategy employed a diversified, systematic, technical, and trend-following approach, utilizing a blend of several separate and distinct quantitative models.

Prior to its termination on June 30, 2016, Altis traded its Global Futures Portfolio Program on behalf of the Partnership. It was a systematic, automated trading program built on the market experience of Altis’ principals and employing a unique proprietary Advanced Asset Allocator. The Advanced Asset Allocator was specifically developed to manage portfolios of derivative instruments in a robust and scalable manner. The portfolio management technology combined original, traditional and contrasting investment techniques into one complete and comprehensive trading system. Investment changes were implemented after considering their effect on the whole portfolio and not just on the individual markets concerned.

The following presents a summary of the Partnership’s operations for each of the years ended December 31, 2019, 2018 and 2017, 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 difference between their original contract value and market value is recorded in the Statements of Income and Expenses as “Net change in unrealized gains (losses) on open contracts”, and recorded as “Net realized gains (losses) on closed contracts” when open positions are closed out. The sum of these amounts constitutes the Partnership’s trading results. The market value of a futures contract is the settlement price on the exchange on which that futures contract is traded on a particular day. The fair value of a foreign currency forward contract is extrapolated on a forward basis from the spot prices quoted as of approximately 3:00 P.M. (E.T.), the close of the business day. Interest income, as well as management fees, General Partner fees, ongoing placement fees, incentive fees and brokerage fees, as applicable, of the Partnership are recorded on an accrual basis.

The General Partner 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.

For the year ended December 31, ~~2018~~2019, the net asset value per Unit ~~decreased~~increased 14.12% from $2320.8245 to $2023.4536.

For the year ended December 31, ~~2016~~2017, the net asset value per Unit ~~decreased~~increased 151.72% from $2723.9354 to $23.5482.

The Partnership experienced a net trading ~~loss~~gain of $45,~~020~~317,~~509~~468 before fees and expenses for the year ended December 31, ~~2018~~ 2019. The ~~losses~~gains were primarily attributable to the Partnership’s trading of Futures Interest in the equity and interest rates ~~sector~~sectors, ~~commodities,~~and ~~equity,~~were partially offset by losses in commodities and currencies sectors. The net trading gain (or loss) realized from the Partnership is disclosed under “Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data.”

During the fourth quarter, the most notable losses were incurred during October within the global stock index sector from long positions in U.S. and Pacific Rim equity index futures as prices declined amid a global selloff spurred by fears over rising bond yields, slowing global growth, and increased trade tensions. Within the global interest rate sector, losses were incurred during November from short positions in U.S. fixed income futures as investors sought out the relative safety of U.S. government debt. Within the energy markets, losses were incurred during October from long positions in crude oil and its refined products after prices slumped on a weakening outlook for global energy demand. A portion of the Partnership’s losses during the fourth quarter was offset by gains experienced within the currency markets during October from short positions in the euro versus the U.S. dollar as the value of the euro declined after data showed business growth in Europe lost more momentum than expected. Additional gains were experienced from positions in the British pound, Canadian dollar, and Australian dollar. Smaller losses during the fourth quarter were recorded from trading agricultural products.

General Partner fees are paid to the General Partner for administering the business and affairs of the Partnership. General Partner fees are calculated as a percentage of the Partnership’s adjusted net asset value as of the beginning of each month and are affected by trading performance and redemptions. Accordingly, they must be compared in relation to the fluctuations in the monthly net asset values. General Partner fees for the three and twelve months ended December 31, 2019 decreased by $24,093 and $186,313, respectively, as compared to the corresponding periods in 2018. The decrease was primarily due to a decrease in average net assets during the three and twelve months ended December 31, 2019 as compared to the corresponding periods in 2018.

Management fees are calculated as a percentage of the Partnership’s adjusted net asset value as of the beginning of each month and are affected by trading performance and redemptions. Accordingly, they must be compared in relation to the fluctuations in the monthly net asset values. Management fees for the three and twelve months ended December 31, 2019 decreased by $37,104 and $208,946, respectively, as compared to the corresponding periods in 2018. The decrease was primarily due to a decrease in average net assets during the three and twelve months ended December 31, 2019 as compared to the corresponding periods in 2018.

Incentive fees are based on the new trading profits generated by each Trading Advisor at the end of the month or year, as applicable, as defined in the respective management agreements between the Partnership, the General Partner and each Trading Advisor. Trading performance for the three and twelve months ended December 31, 2019 and 2018 did not result in incentive fees. To the extent a Trading Advisor incurs a loss for the Partnership, the Trading Advisor will not be paid incentive fees until such Trading Advisor recovers any net loss incurred by the Trading Advisor and earns additional new trading profits for the Partnership.

For an analysis of unrealized gains and losses by contract type and a further description of 2019 trading results, refer to “Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data.”

The Partnership’s gains and losses are allocated among its partners for income tax purposes.

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.

Market Risk

The Partnership is a party to financial instruments with elements of off-balance sheet market and credit risk. The Partnership, trade Futures 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 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 loss equal to 100% of their capital accounts.

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 Ceres monitor the Partnership’s trading activities to ensure compliance with the trading policies and Ceres can require the Trading Advisors to modify positions of the Partnership if Ceres believes they violate the Partnership’s trading policies.

Credit Risk

In addition to market risk, in entering into Futures Interests, 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 Interests traded in the U.S., 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 Ceres 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.

Ceres deals with these credit risks of the Partnership in several ways. First, Ceres monitors the Partnership’s credit exposure to each exchange on a daily basis. The commodity brokers inform the Partnership, as with all of their customers, of the Partnership’s net margin requirements for all of its existing open positions, and Ceres 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.

2829

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, Ceres deals with the situation on a case by case basis, carefully weighing whether the increased level of credit exposure remains appropriate.

Third, with respect to forwards and options on forward contract trading, the Partnership trades with only those counterparties which Ceres, together with MS&Co., has determined to be creditworthy. The Partnership presently deals with MS&Co., as the sole counterparty on all trading of foreign currency forward contracts and options on foreign currency forward contracts.

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.

For additional information, see Note 4 to the Partnership’s financial statements ~~including~~ and accompanying notes, included in “Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data.”

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

Critical Accounting Policies

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires the General Partner to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of income and expenses during the reporting period. As a result, actual results could differ from these estimates. A summary of the Partnership’s significant accounting policies is described in Note 2 to the Partnership’s financial statements included in “Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data.”

The Partnership’s most significant accounting policy is the valuation of its investments in Futures Interests and U.S. Treasury bills, as applicable. The fair value of exchange-traded futures, option and forward contracts is determined by the various exchanges, and reflects the settlement price for each contract as of the close of business on the last business day of the reporting period. The fair value of foreign currency forward contracts is extrapolated on a forward basis from the spot prices quoted as of approximately 3:00 P.M. (E.T.) on the last business day of the reporting period from various exchanges. The fair value of non-exchange foreign currency option contracts is calculated by applying an industry standard model application for options valuation of foreign currency options, using as inputs the spot prices, interest rates, and option implied volatilities quoted as of approximately 3:00 P.M. (E.T.) on the last business day of the reporting period. U.S. Treasury bills are valued at the last available bid price received from independent pricing services as of the close of the last business day of the reporting period.

Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.

The Partnership is a commodity pool engaged primarily in speculative trading of futures, forwards and options. The market-sensitive instruments held by the Partnership are acquired for speculative trading purposes, and all or substantially all of the Partnership’s assets are subject to risk of trading loss. Unlike an operating company, the risk of market-sensitive instruments is integral, not incidental, to the Partnership’s main line of business.

The Futures Interests 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 and exchange-traded forward contracts are settled daily through variation margin. Gains and losses on off-exchange-traded forward currency contracts and forward currency option contracts are settled upon termination of the contract. Gains and losses on off-exchange-traded forward currency option contracts are settled on an agreed-upon settlement date.

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 typically to be many times the total capitalization of the Partnership.

2930

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 experience to date as discussed under the “Partnership’s Value at Risk in Different Market Sectors” section and significantly exceed the Value at Risk 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 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, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)). 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 fair value 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 Value at Risk. Please note that the Value at Risk model is used to numerically quantify market risk for historic reporting purposes only and is not utilized by either Ceres or the Trading Advisors in their daily risk management activities.

Value at Risk is a measure of the maximum amount which the Partnership could reasonably be expected to lose in a given market sector. However, the inherent uncertainty of the Partnership’s speculative trading and the recurrence in the markets traded by the Partnership of market movements far exceeding expectations could result in actual trading or non-trading losses far beyond the indicated Value at Risk or the Partnership’s experience to date (i.e., “risk of ruin”). In light of the foregoing, as well as the risks and uncertainties intrinsic to all future projections, the inclusion of the quantification in this section should not be considered to constitute any assurance or representation that the Partnership’s losses in any market sector will be limited to ~~Values~~Value at Risk or by the Partnership’s attempts to manage its market risk.

Exchange margin requirements have been used by the Partnership as the measure of its Value at Risk. Margin requirements are set by exchanges to equal or exceed the maximum losses reasonably expected to be incurred in the fair value of any given contract in 95%-99% of any one-day interval. The margin levels are established by dealers and exchanges using historical price studies as well as an assessment of current market volatility (including the implied volatility of the options on a given futures contract) and economic fundamentals to provide a probabilistic estimate of the maximum expected near-term one-day price fluctuation.

The Partnership’s Value at Risk in Different Market Sectors

Value at Risk tables represent a probabilistic assessment of the risk of loss in market risk sensitive instruments. The following tables indicate the trading Value at Risk associated with the Partnership’s open positions by market category as of December 31, ~~2018~~2019 and ~~2017~~2018, and the highest, lowest and average values during the years ended December 31, ~~2018~~ 2019 and ~~2017~~2018. All open position trading risk exposures of the Partnership have been included in calculating the figures set forth below. There has been no material change in the trading Value at Risk, non-trading risk and risk management information previously disclosed in the Form 10-K.

Limitations on Value at Risk as an Assessment of Market Risk

Value at Risk 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, Value at 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 Value at Risk model;

●

Value at Risk results reflect past market fluctuations applied to current trading positions while future risk depends on future positions;

●

Value at Risk 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 Value at Risk estimation may provide only limited insight into losses that could be incurred under certain unusual market movements.

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.

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 Disclosure 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 Exchange Act. The Partnership’s primary market risk exposures, as well as the strategies used and to be used by Ceres 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 Trading Advisors, in general, tend to utilize trading system(s) to take positions when market opportunities develop, and Ceres anticipates that the Trading Advisors will continue to do so.

The following were the primary trading risk exposures of the Partnership at December 31, ~~2018~~2019 by market sector. It may be anticipated, however, that these market exposures will vary materially over time.

Equities. The Partnership’s primary equity exposure is to equity price risk in the G8 countries. The stock index futures traded by the Partnership are limited to futures on broadly based indices. As of December 31, 2019 the Partnership’s primary exposures were in the Dow Jones EURO STOXX 50 (European Union), DAX (Germany), Nikkei 225 (Japan), S&P 500 (U.S.), FTSE 100 (United Kingdom), NASDAQ 100 (U.S.), and TOPIX (Japanese) stock indices. The Partnership is primarily exposed to the risk of adverse price trends or static markets in the major European, Pacific Rim, and 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.) The Partnership may also have exposure to the stock indices of emerging markets.

Currencies. The Partnership’s currency exposure is to exchange rate fluctuations, primarily fluctuations which disrupt the historical pricing relationships between different currencies and currency pairs. These fluctuations are influenced by interest rate changes as well as political and general economic conditions. The General Partner does not anticipate that the risk profile of the Partnership’s currency sector will change significantly in the future.

~~Interest~~Commodities: Rates. Interest rate movements directly affect the price of the futures positions held by the Partnership and indirectly the value of its stock index and currency positions. Interest rate movements in one country as well as relative interest rate movements between countries may materially impact the Partnership’s profitability. The Partnership’s primary interest rate exposure is to interest rate fluctuations in the United States and the other G-8 countries. However, the Partnership may also take futures positions in the government debt of smaller nations — e.g., Australia.

~~Energy~~Metals. The Partnership’s primary ~~energy~~metal market exposure isas toof ~~oil and natural gas price movements~~December 31, ~~often~~2019 ~~resulting~~was ~~from~~to fluctuations ~~political developments~~ in the ~~Middle~~price ~~East~~of ~~and~~copper, ~~weather~~gold, ~~conditions.

Livestock. The Partnership’s primary risk exposure in livestock is to fluctuations in cattle and hog prices.

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. Ceres attempts to manage market exposure by diversifying the Partnership’s assets among different market sectors and trading approaches through the selection of commodity trading advisors and by daily monitoring of their performance. 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.

Ceres monitors and controls the risk of the Partnership’s non-trading instrument, cash. Cash is the only Partnership investment directed by Ceres, rather than the Trading Advisors.

Management’s Report on Internal Control Over

Financial Reporting

Ceres Managed Futures LLC (“Ceres”), the general partner of Morgan Stanley Smith Barney Spectrum Select L.P. (the “Partnership”) and is responsible for the management of the Partnership.

Management of the Partnership, Ceres (“Management”), is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting as defined in Rules 13a–15(f) and 15d–15(f) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and for the assessment of internal control over financial reporting. The Partnership’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The Partnership’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that:

(i)

pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the Partnership;

(ii)

provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, and that receipts and expenditures of the Partnership are being made only in accordance with authorizations of Management and the directors of Ceres; and

(iii)

provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection and correction of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of the 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 has assessed the effectiveness of the Partnership’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, ~~2018~~2019. In making this assessment, Management used the criteria set forth in the Internal Control-Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. Based on its assessment, Management concluded that the Partnership maintained effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, ~~2018~~2019, based on the criteria referred to above.

Morgan Stanley Smith Barney Spectrum Select L.P.

Notes to Financial Statements

1. Organization:

Morgan Stanley Smith Barney Spectrum Select L.P. (the “Partnership”) is a Delaware limited partnership organized in 1991 to engage primarily in the speculative trading of futures contracts, options on futures and forward contracts, and forward contracts on physical commodities and other commodity interests, including, but not limited to, foreign currencies, financial instruments, metals, energy and agricultural products (collectively, “Futures Interests”) (refer to Note 4, “Financial Instruments”). The General Partner (as defined below) may also determine to invest up to all of the Partnership’s assets in United States (“U.S.”) Treasury bills and/or money market mutual funds, including money market mutual funds managed by Morgan Stanley or its affiliates. The Partnership commenced trading operations on August 1, 1991. Prior to December 31, 2018, the Partnership was one of the Morgan Stanley Spectrum series of funds, comprised of the Partnership, Morgan Stanley Smith Barney Spectrum Strategic L.P., (prior to its termination on December 31, 2018), and prior to December 31, 2017, Ceres Tactical Global L.P. (formerly Ceres Tactical Currency L.P.) and Morgan Stanley Smith Barney Spectrum Technical L.P.

Ceres Managed Futures LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, acts as the general partner (“Ceres” or the “General Partner”) and commodity pool operator of the Partnership. ~~As of January 1, 2017,~~ Ceres ~~became~~is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Morgan Stanley Domestic Holdings, Inc. (“MSD Holdings”). MSD Holdings is ultimately owned by Morgan Stanley. Morgan Stanley is a publicly held company whose shares are listed on the New York Stock Exchange. Morgan Stanley is engaged in various financial services and other businesses. ~~Prior to January 1, 2017, Ceres was a wholly-owned subsidiary of Morgan Stanley Smith Barney Holdings LLC.~~

During the periods covered by this report, the Partnership’s commodity broker was Morgan Stanley & Co. LLC (“MS&Co.”), a registered futures commission merchant. MS&Co. also acts as the counterparty on all trading of foreign currency forward contracts. Morgan Stanley Smith Barney LLC, doing business as Morgan Stanley Wealth Management (“Morgan Stanley Wealth Management”), is a principal subsidiary of MSD Holdings. MS&Co. and its affiliates act as the custodians of the Partnership’s assets available for trading in Futures Interests. MS&Co. is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Morgan Stanley. During ~~prior~~the periods ~~included~~covered inby this report, the Partnership deposited a portion of its cash in a non-trading account at JPMorgan Chase Bank N.A.

Ceres is required to maintain a 1% minimum interest in the equity of the Partnership.

InThe ~~July 2015, the~~ General Partner has delegated certain administrative functions to SS&C Technologies, Inc., a Delaware corporation, currently doing business as SS&C GlobeOp (the “Administrator”). Pursuant to a master services agreement, the Administrator furnishes certain administrative, accounting, regulatory reporting, tax and other services as agreed from time to time. In addition, the Administrator maintains certain books and records of the Partnership. The General Partner pays or reimburses the Partnership, from the General Partner fee it receives from the Partnership, the ~~ordinary~~ ordinary administrative expenses of the Partnership, including the expenses related to the engagement of the Administrator.

2. Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies:

Use of Estimates. The preparation of financial statements and accompanying notes in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) requires the General Partner to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, income and expenses, and related disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities in the financial statements and accompanying notes. As a result, actual results could differ from these estimates, and those differences could be material.

b. Profit Allocation. The General Partner and each limited partner of the Partnership share in the profits and losses of the ~~respective~~ Partnership in proportion to the amount of Partnership interest owned by each, except that no limited partner is liable for ~~the~~ obligations of the ~~respective~~ Partnership in excess of its capital contributions and profits, if any, net of distributions or redemptions and losses, if any.

Morgan Stanley Smith Barney Spectrum Select L.P.

Notes to Financial Statements

c. Statement of Cash Flows. The Partnership has not provided a Statement of Cash Flows, as permitted by Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 230, “Statement of Cash Flows.” The Statements of Changes in Partners’ Capital is included herein, and as of and for the years ended December 31, ~~2018~~2019, ~~2017~~2018 and ~~2016~~2017, the Partnership carried no debt and all of the Partnership’s investments were carried at fair value and classified as Level 1 ~~and~~or Level 2 measurements.

Partnership’s Investments. All Futures Interests of the Partnership, including derivative financial instruments and derivative commodity instruments, are held for trading purposes. The Futures Interests are recorded on trade date and open contracts are recorded at fair value (as described in Note 6, “Fair Value Measurements”) at the measurement date. Investments in Futures Interests denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rates prevailing at the measurement date. Gains or losses are realized when contracts are liquidated and are determined using the first-in, first-out method. Unrealized gains or losses on open contracts are included as a component of equity in trading account in the Statements of Financial Condition. Net realized gains or losses and net change in unrealized gains or losses are included in the Statements of Income and Expenses. The Partnership does not isolate the portion of the results of operations arising from the effect of changes in foreign exchange rates on investments from fluctuations due to changes in market prices of investments held. Such fluctuations are included in total trading results in the Statements of Income and Expenses.

e. ~~Restricted~~Partnership’s ~~and Unrestricted~~ Cash. The ~~cash held by the~~ Partnership’s ~~available~~restricted ~~for~~cash ~~trading in Futures Interests, if any,~~ is onequal ~~deposit~~to ~~in commodity brokerage accounts with MS&Co. As reflected in~~ the ~~Statements of Financial Condition, restricted~~ cash ~~equals the cash~~ portion of assets on deposit to meet margin requirements, as determined by the exchange or counterparty, and required by MS&Co. ~~All of these amounts are maintained separately.~~ At December 31, ~~2018~~2019 and ~~2017~~2018, the amount of cash held for margin requirements was $57,~~568~~560,~~405~~090 and $85,~~683~~568,~~095~~405, respectively. Restricted and unrestricted cash includes cash denominated in foreign currencies of $~~196~~154,~~753~~998 (cost of $~~191~~151,~~327~~583) and $~~977~~196,~~236~~753 (cost of $~~984~~191,~~412~~327) as of December 31, ~~2018~~2019 and ~~2017~~2018, respectively.

Foreign Currency Transactions and Translation. The Partnership’s functional currency is the U.S. dollar; however, the Partnership may transact business in currencies other than the U.S. dollar. Assets and liabilities denominated in currencies other than the U.S. dollar are translated into U.S. dollars at the rate in effect at the date of the Statements of Financial Condition. Income and expense items denominated in currencies other than the U.S. dollar are translated into U.S. dollars at the rate in effect during the period.

g. Income Taxes. Income taxes have not been recorded as each partner is individually liable for the taxes, if any, on its share of the Partnership’s income and expenses. The Partnership follows the guidance of ASC 740, “Income Taxes,” which prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for financial statement recognition and measurement of tax positions taken or expected to be taken in the course of preparing the Partnership’s tax returns to determine whether the tax positions are “more-likely-than-not” of being sustained “when challenged” or “when examined” by the applicable tax authority. Tax positions determined not to meet the more-likely-than-not threshold would be recorded as a tax benefit or liability in the Partnership’s Statements of Financial Condition for the current year. If a tax position does not meet the minimum statutory threshold to avoid the incurring of penalties, an expense for the amount of the statutory penalty and interest, if applicable, shall be recognized in the Statements of Income and Expenses in the ~~years~~period in which the position is claimed or expected to be claimed. The General Partner has concluded that there are no significant uncertain tax positions that would require recognition in the financial statements. The Partnership files U.S. federal and various state and local tax returns. No income tax returns are currently under examination. The ~~2015~~2016 through ~~2018~~2019 tax years remain subject to examination by U.S. federal and most state tax authorities.

Morgan Stanley Smith Barney Spectrum Select L.P.

Notes to Financial Statements

Revenue Recognition. For excess cash held at MS&Co. which is not invested by the General Partner in U.S. Treasury bills and/or other permitted investments, monthly, MS&Co. pays the Partnership interest income on 100% of its average daily equity maintained in cash in the Partnership’s account during each month at a rate equal to 80% of the monthly average of the 4-week U.S. Treasury bill discount rate. MS&Co. and Ceres retain any interest earned on such uninvested cash in excess of the interest paid to the Partnership. For purposes of such interest payments, net assets do not include monies due to the Partnership on Futures Interests that have not been received.

General Partner Fees. The Partnership accrues a General Partner administrative fee (the “General Partner fee”) payable to the General Partner equal to an annual rate equal to 1/12 of 2.0% (a 2.0% annual rate) of the Partnership’s net assets as of the first day of each month.

The General Partner pays or reimburses the Partnership for all fees and costs charged or incurred by MS&Co., the General Partner and/or their affiliates or any other entity acting as a commodity broker for the Partnership.

Ongoing Placement Agent Fees. The Partnership accrues an ongoing placement agent fee payable to Morgan Stanley Wealth Management equal to 1/12 of 2.0% (a 2.0% annual rate) of the Partnership’s net assets as of the first day of each month.

Equity in Trading Account. The Partnership’s asset “Equity in trading account” reflected in the Statements of Financial Condition consists of cash on deposit with MS&Co., a portion of which is to be used as margin for trading, net unrealized gains on open futures contracts and net unrealized gains on open forward contracts, which are calculated as the difference between the original contract value and fair value.

The Partnership, in its normal course of business, enters into various contracts with MS&Co. acting as its commodity broker. Pursuant to brokerage agreements with MS&Co., to the extent that such trading results in unrealized gains or losses, these amounts are offset for the Partnership and are reported on a net basis in the Statements of Financial Condition.

The Partnership has offset its unrealized gains or losses executed with the same counterparty as allowable under the terms of its master netting agreement with MS&Co., the counterparty on such contracts. The Partnership has consistently applied its right to offset.

l. Investment Company Status. ~~Effective~~The ~~January 1, 2014, the~~ Partnership has adopted Accounting Standards Update 2013-08, “Financial Services—Investment Companies (Topic 946): Amendments to the Scope, Measurement and Disclosure Requirements” and based on the General Partner’s assessment, the Partnership has been deemed to be investment companies since inception. Accordingly, the Partnership follows the investment company accounting and reporting guidance of Topic 946 and reflects its investment at fair value with unrealized gains and losses resulting from changes in fair value reflected in the Partnership’s Statements of Income and Expenses.

Redemptions. Limited partners may redeem some or all of their Units at 100% of the net asset value per Unit. The request for redemptions must be delivered to a limited partner’s local Morgan Stanley Branch Office in time for it to be forwarded and received by Ceres no later than 3:00 P.M., New York City time, on the last day of the month in which the redemption is to be effective.

45n. Distributions. Distributions, other than redemptions of Units, are made on a pro-rata basis at the sole discretion of Ceres. No distributions have been made to date. Ceres does not intend to make any distributions of the Partnership’s profits.

3. Trading Advisors:

Ceres, on behalf of the Partnership, has retained certain unaffiliated commodity trading advisors, which are registered with the Commodity Futures Trading Commission to make all trading decisions on behalf of the Partnership. As of December 31, ~~2018~~2019, the trading advisors to the Partnership were EMC Capital ~~Management~~Advisors, ~~Inc.~~LLC (“EMC”) and Graham Capital Management, L.P. (“Graham”) (each ~~individually~~, a “Trading Advisor” and, or collectively, the “Trading Advisors”). Effective December 31, 2017, the General Partner terminated the management agreement among the Partnership, the ~~General~~ General Partner and Rabar Market Research, Inc. (“Rabar”), pursuant to which Rabar traded a portion of the Partnership’s assets. Consequently, Rabar ceased all Futures Interest trading on behalf of the Partnership. Effective June 30, 2016, the General Partner terminated the management agreement among the Partnership, the General Partner and Altis Partners (Jersey) Limited (“Altis”), pursuant to which Altis traded a portion of the Partnership’s assets. Consequently, Altis ceased all Futures Interest trading on behalf of the Partnership. References herein to the Trading Advisor or the Trading Advisors may also include, as relevant, Rabar ~~and Altis~~.

Compensation to the Trading Advisors by the Partnership consists of a management fee and incentive fee as follows:

Management Fee. The management fee for the Partnership is accrued at a rate of 1/12 of 1~~.75~~% (a 1~~.75~~% annual rate) per month of the Partnership’s net assets allocated to ~~Graham~~EMC on the first day of each month, and 1/12 of 1.35% (a 1.35% annual rate) per month of the Partnership’s net assets allocated to ~~EMC~~Graham on the first day of each month. Prior to February 1, 2019, the management fee for the Partnership was accrued at a rate of 1/12 of 1.75% (a 1.75% annual rate) per month of the Partnership’s net assets allocated to Graham.

Prior to its termination on December 31, 2017, Rabar received a management fee from the Partnership equal to 1/12 of 2% (a 2% annual rate) per month of the Partnership’s net assets allocated to Rabar on the first day of each month. The management fee payable by the Partnership to Altis prior to its termination on June 30, 2016 was 1/12 of 1.25% (a 1.25% annual rate) per month of the Partnership’s net assets allocated to Altis on the first day of each month.

Incentive Fee. The Partnership pays a monthly incentive fee equal to 20% of the trading profits experienced with respect to the Partnership’s net assets allocated to EMC ~~and Graham~~ as of the end of each calendar month., ~~Prior~~and pays an annual incentive fee equal to ~~its~~18% ~~termination~~of onthe ~~December 31,~~trading ~~2017,~~profits ~~Rabar~~experienced ~~was~~with respect to the Partnership’s net assets allocated to ~~eligible~~Graham at the end of each calendar year. Prior to ~~receive~~February 1, 2019, the Partnership paid a monthly incentive fee equal to 20% of the trading profits experienced with respect to the Partnership’s net assets allocated to ~~Rabar~~Graham as of the end of each calendar month. Prior to its termination on ~~June~~December 3031, ~~2016~~2017, ~~Altis~~ Rabar was eligible to receive a monthly incentive fee equal to 20% of the trading profits experienced with respect to the Partnership’s net assets allocated to ~~Altis~~Rabar as of the end of each calendar month.

Trading profits represent the amount by which profits from trading in Futures Interests exceed losses after brokerage, ongoing placement agent fees, General Partner fees and management fees, as applicable, are deducted. When a trading advisor experiences losses with respect to its allocation of net assets as of the end of the applicable period, the trading advisor must recover such losses before it is eligible for an incentive fee in the future. The cumulative trading losses are adjusted on a pro-rated basis for the amount of each month’s redemptions ~~and~~or reallocations.

4. Financial Instruments:

The Partnership trades Futures Interests. Futures and forwards represent contracts for delayed delivery of an instrument at a specified date and price. Futures Interests are open commitments until the settlement date, at which time they are realized. They are valued at fair value, generally on a daily basis, and the unrealized gains and losses on open contracts (the difference between contract trade price and market price) are reported in the Statements of Financial Condition as a net unrealized gain or loss on open futures or forward contracts. The resulting net change in unrealized gains and losses is reflected in the “Net change in unrealized gains (losses) on open contracts” in the ~~respective~~ Statements of Income and Expenses. The Partnership’s contracts are accounted for on a trade-date basis. Gains or losses are realized when contracts are liquidated and are determined using the first-in, first-out method. Risk arises from changes in the value of these contracts and the potential inability of counterparties to perform under the terms of the contracts. There are numerous factors which may significantly influence the fair value of these contracts, including interest rate volatility.

The fair value of an exchange-traded contract is based on the settlement price quoted by the exchange on the day with respect to which fair value is being determined. If an exchange-traded contract could not have been liquidated on such day due to the operation of daily limits or other rules of the exchange, the settlement price will be equal to the settlement price on the first subsequent day on which the contract could be liquidated.

In general, the risks associated with ~~off~~non-exchange-traded contracts are greater than those associated with exchange-traded contracts because of the greater risk of default by the counterparty to a non-exchange-traded contract. The Partnership has credit risk associated with counterparty nonperformance. As of the date of the financial statements, the credit risk associated with the instruments in which the Partnership trades is limited to the unrealized ~~gains~~gain ~~(losses)~~amounts ~~amount~~ reflected in the Statements of Financial Condition. The net unrealized gains (losses) on open contracts are further disclosed gross by type of contract and corresponding fair ~~value~~ value level in Note 6, “Fair Value Measurements.”

The Partnership also has credit risk because MS&Co. acts as the commodity futures broker, or the counterparty, with respect to most of the Partnership’s assets. Exchange-traded futures and exchange-traded forward contracts are fair valued on a daily basis, with variations in value settled on a daily basis. With respect to the Partnership’s non-exchange-traded forward currency contracts, there are no daily settlements of variation in value, nor is there any requirement that an amount equal to the net unrealized gains (losses) on such contracts be segregated. However, the Partnership is required to meet margin requirements with the counterparty, which is accomplished by daily maintenance of the cash balance in custody accounts and U.S. Treasury bills held at MS&Co., for the benefit of MS&Co. With respect to those non-exchange-traded forward currency contracts, the Partnership is at risk to the ability of MS&Co., the sole counterparty on all such contracts, to perform. The Partnership has a netting agreement with MS&Co. The primary terms are based on industry standard master netting agreements. These agreements, which seek to reduce both the Partnership’s and MS&Co.’s exposure on non-exchange-traded forward currency contracts, including options on such contracts, should materially decrease the Partnership’s credit risk in the event of MS&Co.’s bankruptcy or insolvency.

The General Partner monitors and attempts to mitigate the Partnership’s risk exposure on a daily basis through financial, credit and risk management monitoring systems, and accordingly, believes that it has effective procedures for evaluating and limiting the credit and market risks to which the Partnership may be subject. These monitoring systems generally allow the General Partner to statistically analyze actual trading results with risk adjusted performance indicators and correlation statistics. In addition, online monitoring systems provide account analysis of futures, forward and option positions by sector, margin requirements, gain and loss transactions and collateral positions.

Notes to Financial Statements

The futures and forwards traded by the Partnership, along with the U.S. ~~Treasury~~ Treasury bills held 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~~ 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 and exchange-traded forward contracts are settled daily through variation margin. Gains and losses on non-exchange-traded forward currency contracts are settled upon termination of the contract.

In the ordinary course of business, the Partnership enters into contracts and agreements that contain various representations and warranties and which provide general indemnifications. The Partnership’s maximum exposure under these arrangements cannot be determined, as this could include future claims that have not yet been made against the Partnership. The Partnership considers the risk of any future obligation relating to these indemnifications to be remote.

5. Trading Activities:

The Partnership’s objective is to profit from speculative trading in Futures Interests. Therefore, ~~the~~each Trading ~~Advisors~~Advisor for the Partnership will take speculative positions in Futures Interests where ~~they~~it ~~feel~~feels ~~or felt that~~ the best profit opportunities exist for ~~their~~its ~~respective~~ trading strategies. As such, the average number of contracts outstanding in absolute quantities (the total of ~~the~~ the open long and open short positions) has been presented as a part of the volume disclosure, as position direction is not an indicative factor in such volume disclosures.

The General Partner estimates that, at any given time, approximately 16.92% to 3950.70% of the Partnership’s contracts are traded over-the-counter.

All of the Futures Interests owned by the Partnership are held for trading purposes. The monthly average number of futures contracts traded during the years ended December 31, ~~2018~~2019 and ~~2017~~2018 were 32,~~115~~694 and 43,~~357~~115, respectively. The monthly average number of metals forward contracts traded during the years ended December 31, ~~2018~~2019 and ~~2017~~2018 were ~~347~~357 and ~~519~~347, respectively. The monthly average notional value of currency forward contracts traded during the years ended December 31, ~~2018~~2019 and ~~2017~~2018 were $9679,~~190~~625,~~765~~357 and $~~137~~96,~~886~~190,~~860~~765, respectively.

In the event of default by the Partnership, MS&Co., the Partnership’s commodity futures broker and the sole counterparty to the Partnership’s non-exchange-traded contracts, as applicable, has the right to offset the Partnership’s obligation with the Partnership’s cash and/or U.S. Treasury bills held by MS&Co., thereby minimizing MS&Co.’s risk of loss. In certain instances, MS&Co. may not post collateral and as such, in the event of default by MS&Co., the Partnership is exposed to the amount shown on the Statements of Financial Condition. In the case of exchange-traded contracts, the Partnership’s exposure to counterparty risk may be reduced since the exchange’s clearinghouse interposes its credit between buyer and seller and the clearinghouse’s guarantee funds may be available in the event of a default.

6. Fair Value Measurements:

Fair value is defined as the value that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date under current market conditions. The fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1) and the lowest priority to fair values derived from unobservable inputs (Level 3). The level in the fair value hierarchy within which the fair value measurement in its entirety falls shall be determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety.

The fair value of exchange-traded futures, forward and option contracts is determined by the various exchanges, and reflects the settlement price for each contract as of the close of business on the last business day of the reporting period. The fair value of foreign currency forward contracts is extrapolated on a forward basis from the spot prices quoted as of approximately 3:00 P.M. (E.T.) on the last business day of the reporting period from various exchanges. The fair value of non-exchange-traded foreign currency option contracts is calculated by applying an industry standard model application for options valuation of foreign currency options, using as input the spot prices, interest rates and option implied volatilities quoted as of approximately 3:00 P.M. (E.T.) on the last business day of the reporting period. U.S. Treasury bills are valued at the last available bid price received from independent pricing services as of the close of the last business day of the reporting period.

The Partnership considers prices for commodity futures, swap and option contracts to be based on unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities (Level 1). The values of U.S. Treasury bills, non-exchange-traded forward, swap and certain option contracts for which market quotations are not readily available are priced by pricing services that derive fair values for those assets and liabilities from observable inputs (Level 2). As of and for the years ended December 31, ~~2018~~2019 and ~~2017~~2018, the Partnership did not hold any derivative instruments that were priced at fair value using unobservable inputs through the application of the General Partner’s assumptions and internal valuation pricing models (Level 3).

7. Financial Highlights:

Financial highlights for the limited partner class as a whole for the years ended December 31, ~~2018~~2019, ~~2017~~2018 and ~~2016~~2017 are as follows:

	2018		2017		2016
	2019		2018		2017
Per Unit Performance (for a unit outstanding throughout the year): *
Net realized and unrealized gains (losses)	$	(23.~~42)~~73	$	1(2.42)	$	(21.~~96)~~42

Total return after incentive fees		(14.1)%		1.2 %		(15.7)%



	2019		2018		2017
Ratios to Average Limited Partners’ Capital:

Net investment loss **		(3.8)%		(4.2)%		(5.0)%


Operating expenses before incentive fees		5.2 %		5.5 %		5.7 %
Incentive fees		- %		- %		- %

Operating expenses after incentive fees		5.2 %		5.5 %		5.7 %


Total return:

Incentive fees		- %		- %		- %

Total return after incentive fees		14.2 %		(14.1)%		1.2 %

Net investment loss per Unit is calculated by dividing the interest income less total expenses by the average number of Units outstanding during the year. The net realized and unrealized gains (losses) per Unit is a balancing amount necessary to reconcile the change in net asset value per Unit with the other per unit information.

**	Interest income less total expenses.

The above ratios and total return may vary for individual investors based on the timing of capital transactions during the year. Additionally, these ratios are calculated for the limited partner class using the limited partners’ share of income, expenses and average partners’ capital of the Partnership.

8. Subsequent Events:

The General Partner evaluates events that occur after the balance sheet date but before and up until financial statements are available to be issued. The General Partner has assessed the subsequent events through the date the financial statements were issued and has determined that, ~~other than disclosed below,~~ there were no subsequent events requiring adjustment to or disclosure in the financial statements.

Effective February 1, 2019, the monthly management fee paid by the Partnership to Graham was reduced to 1/12 of 1.35% (1.35% annual rate) of the Partnership’s net assets allocated to Graham on the first day of each month. Also effective February 1, 2019, the incentive paid by the Partnership to Graham was changed from monthly to annually and reduced to 18% of trading profits.

Effective March 6, 2019, Maureen O’Toole resigned as a director of the General Partner.

Item 9A. Controls and Procedures.

The Partnership’s disclosure controls and procedures are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Partnership on the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods expected in the SEC’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Partnership in the reports it files is accumulated and communicated to management, including the President (the General Partner’s principal executive officer) and Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”) (the General Partner’s principal financial officer) of the General Partner, to allow for timely decisions regarding required disclosure and appropriate SEC filings.

The General Partner is responsible for ensuring that there is an adequate and effective process for establishing, maintaining and evaluating disclosure controls and procedures for the Partnership’s external disclosures.

The General Partner’s President and CFO have evaluated the effectiveness of the Partnership’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) as of December 31, ~~2018~~2019 and, based on that evaluation, the General Partner’s President and CFO have concluded that at that date the Partnership’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective.

The Partnership’s internal control over financial reporting is a process under the supervision of the General Partner’s President and CFO to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements in accordance with GAAP. These controls include 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 (i) transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with GAAP, and (ii) the Partnership’s receipts are handled and expenditures are made only pursuant to authorizations of the General Partner; and

•

The report included in “Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data.” includes the General Partner’s report on internal control over financial reporting (“Management’s Report”).

There were no changes in the Partnership’s internal control over financial reporting during the fiscal quarter ended December 31, ~~2018~~2019, that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Partnership’s internal control over financial reporting.
