Equity Model Portfolio Performance Calculation Methodology Equity Model Portfolio performance data is compiled with two major goals in mind: 1) to be in accordance with CFA Institute Global Investment Performance Standards (GIPS) and 2) to mirror, to the extent possible, the performance that individual investors are likely to experience if they follow our change recommendations. We believe our calculations are as conservative as possible. Changes are announced prior to the market open; however, performance is based on the closing price of the security on the day that the change is announced.

For example: if company XYZ announces an earnings shortfall after the market closes on a Monday and we suggest removing the stock on Tuesday morning (never the preferred outcome, of course), we absorb the likely decline in value of the stock during Tuesday’s trading by taking Tuesday’s 4 p.m. market closing price in New York (or the relevant local exchange closing time in the case of foreign stocks).

Dividend Treatment The performance of each of the Equity Model Portfolio is based on total return, which includes dividends. All benchmark data is also calculated on a total return basis. The performance calculation assumes that dividends paid on securities in a portfolio are incorporated into each individual security on the ex-dividend date.

For Example: Stock XYZ has appreciated from $10 to $11 in value (a 10% return) and pays a $0.10 dividend over the year (a 1% dividend yield). At the end of the year the total return on this position is 11% (10% price appreciation + 1% dividend)

Rebalancing Method When a change is made to an Equity Model Portfolio, there is an automatic rebalancing of all the other equity portfolio positions back to the recommended weight in the model. This is in accordance with CFA Institute recommendation for Model Portfolios. “On-Change” rebalancing removes any equity “drift” that might have happened between the last change in the portfolio and the current one.

For Example: Let’s assume that 5% weighted ABC and 5% weighted XYZ are added on the same day to a portfolio. ABC subsequently does very well relative to its benchmark, while XYZ performs very poorly. Until another change is made in the portfolio, stock ABC’s effective weight will surpass 5% while stock XYZ’s effective weight will drift below 5%. Assume a change is then made to a stock other than ABC or XYZ. Upon that day’s close of trading, ABC and XYZ will automatically revert to their former 5% weightings.

Cash Position The Equity Model Portfolios will often maintain modest cash positions (Typically between 0% and 7.5% across the portfolios). Cash returns incorporate an assumed investment in 90-day U.S. Treasury bills as of the last business day of the month prior to the performance calculation date as published by the Federal Reserve.

Other Corporate Actions Occasional stock spin-offs are credited post the spin date as shares of the original position that was recommended. The spun off entity is liquidated and proceeds are reinvested into the original entity as well as any cash in lieu of shares proceeds.

Disclosure Section The results shown include dividends and exclude brokerage commissions. Had the results reflected brokerage commissions, the performance would have been lower. These returns were calculated based on the assumption that every recommendation made by the Equity Model Portfolio Solutions team was executed on the date the recommendation was made and at that trading day's closing price. Moreover, the methodology assumes that, every time a change to the portfolio was made, the portfolio was rebalanced to continue to be weighted in the proportions recommended by the team. Since clients are required to make independent decisions as to whether to follow the team's recommendations and/or to rebalance their portfolios, the performance of client holdings may be better or worse than those reported for the portfolio. Past performance is no guarantee of future results. It should not be assumed that recommendations made in the future will be profitable or will equal the performance of the securities in this portfolio. This report does not provide individually tailored investment advice and has been prepared without regard to the individual financial circumstances and objectives of persons who receive it. The securities in Equity Model Portfolios are selected and monitored on an ongoing basis by members of the Equity Model Portfolio Solutions team and may be purchased in a single transaction as individual stocks. Periodically, changes to the portfolios are recommended; clients then decide whether the recommendation makes sense for their particular financial situation. After a client purchases a portfolio, the same stocks will remain in his or her account unless individual stocks are bought or sold in response to subsequent changes in the portfolio or as otherwise individually determined by the client. Such transactions will incur applicable commission charges. Clients should seek advice from their financial advisor as to the suitability of investing in any of the securities or investment strategies discussed in this report. Financial Advisors and Private Wealth Advisors may use Equity Model Portfolios as a resource in formulating investment advice for their advisory clients, provided that they consider all other relevant factors and sources of information in tailoring their advice to a particular client, taking into consideration the client's investment objectives, risk tolerance and investment horizons.

Closed-End Fund Rating System Morgan Stanley Wealth Management only rates Closed-End Funds ("CEF"). For CEFs, Morgan Stanley Wealth Management uses a relative rating system using the terms Overweight, Equal-weight, Underweight, and Not Covered (see definitions below). Morgan Stanley Wealth Management does not assign ratings of Buy, Hold or Sell to the CEFs we cover. Overweight, Equal-weight, and Underweight are not the equivalent of buy, hold and sell. Investors should carefully read the definitions of all ratings used in Morgan Stanley Wealth Management Research. In addition, since Morgan Stanley Wealth Management Research contains more complete information concerning the analyst's view, investors should carefully read Morgan Stanley Wealth Management Research, in its entirety, and not infer the contents from the ratings alone. In any case, ratings (or research) should not be used or relied upon as investment advice. An investor's decision to buy or sell a security or fund should depend on individual circumstances (such as the investor's existing holdings) and other considerations.

Closed-End Fund Ratings Definitions Overweight (O): The closed-end fund's total return is expected to exceed the average total return of the analyst's industry coverage universe, on a risk-adjusted basis, over the next 12-18 months. Equal-weight (E): The closed-end fund's total return is expected to be in line with the average total return of the analyst's industry coverage universe, on a risk-adjusted basis, over the next 12-18 months. Underweight (U): The closed end fund's total return is expected to be below the average total return of the analyst's industry coverage universe, on a risk-adjusted basis, over the next 12-18 months. Not Covered (NC): Indicates that the analyst does not cover the fund.

Closed-End Fund Ratings Distribution (as of date November 30, 2014)

Morgan Stanley Wealth Management only rates CEFs. Thus, this Ratings Distribution table only displays the distribution data for the rated CEFs. For disclosure purposes only (in accordance with FINRA requirements), we include the category of Buy, Hold, and Sell alongside our ratings of Overweight, Equal-weight, and Underweight. Morgan Stanley Wealth Management does not assign ratings of Buy, Hold or Sell to the CEFs we cover. Overweight, Equal-weight, and Underweight are not the equivalent of buy, hold, and sell but represent recommended relative weightings (see definition below). To satisfy regulatory requirements, we correspond Overweight, our most positive stock rating, with a buy recommendation; we correspond Equal-weight to hold and Underweight to sell recommendations, respectively.

CEF Coverage Universe Investment Banking Clients (IBC)

Closed-End Fund (CEF) Rating Category Count % of Total Count % of Total IBC % of Rating Category

Overweight/Buy 28 29.1% 18 33.3% 64.3%

Equal-weight/Hold 47 49.0% 25 46.3% 53.2%

Underweight/Sell 21 21.9% 11 20.4% 52.4%

Total 96 100.0% 54 100.0%

Data includes CEFs currently assigned ratings. An investor's decision to buy or sell a fund should depend on individual circumstances (such as an investor's existing holdings) and other considerations. The Investment Banking Clients data above applies only to Morgan Stanley Wealth Management's CEF coverage universe. The data indicates those CEF investment managers for whom Morgan Stanley Wealth Management, provided investment banking services within the previous 12 months.
