2 SiGnifiCant aCCoUntinG PoLiCieS

The financial statements are presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles applicable to UCItS investment funds in Luxembourg and require management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. actual results could differ from those estimates.

a) valuation of securities Securities listed on a recognised stock exchange or dealt in on

any other regulated market are valued at their last available prices at the valuation point, or, in the event that there should be several such markets, on the basis of their last available prices on the main market for the relevant security.

In normal market conditions, fixed income securities (including mortage backed securities) are valued at mid market price at the valuation point, based on data provided by pricing vendors.

In the event that the last available price or mid market price (bonds) does not truly reflect the fair market value of the relevant securities, the value of such securities will be based on the reasonably foreseeable sales price determined prudently and in good faith pursuant to procedures established by the Directors.

Securities not listed or traded on a stock exchange or not dealt on another regulated market are valued on the basis of the reasonably foreseeable sales price determined prudently and in good faith pursuant to procedures established by the Directors.

Securities with a known short-term maturity date, are valued using an amortised cost method. This involves valuing an investment at its cost and thereafter assuming a constant amortisation to maturity of any discount or premium, regardless of the impact of fluctuating interest rates on the market value of the investments.

Investments in other Undertakings for Collective Investments (“UCIs”) are valued at the last available net asset value for the UCI in question.

events may occur between the determination of an investment’s last available price and the determination of the Fund’s net asset value per Share at the valuation point that may, in the opinion of the Directors, mean that the last available price does not reflect

Morgan Stanley Investment Funds 31 December 2012 188

Notes to the financial statements (continued)As at 31 December 2012

the fair market value of the investment. In such circumstances the price of such investment shall be adjusted in accordance with the procedures adopted from time to time by the Directors in their discretion. as at the date of this annual report, certain securities may be fair valued in accordance with these procedures.

If since the time of determination of the net asset value there has been a material change in the quotations in the markets on which a substantial portion of the investments attributable to an available Fund are dealt in or quoted, the Company may, in order to safeguard the interests of the shareholders and the Company, cancel the first valuation and carry out further valuations as appropriate.

b) valuation of interest rate swaps an Interest Rate Swap (“IRS”) is a bilateral agreement in which

each of the parties agree to exchange a series of interest payments (usually fixed/floating) based on a notional amount that serves as a computation basis and that is usually not exchanged.

IRS contracts are valued by reference to service data providers, market data and algorithms.

The unrealised gain/loss as at year end is recorded under “Unrealised gain/loss on interest rate swap contracts” in the Statement of assets and liabilities. The changes in such amounts are recorded under “net change in unrealised appreciation/(depreciation) on interest rate swap contracts” and the realised gain/loss under “net realised gain/(loss) on interest rate swap contracts” in the Statement of operations and changes in net assets.

c) valuation of Credit default swaps a Credit Default Swap (“CDS”) is a transaction in which two

parties enter into an agreement, whereby the buyer pays the seller a periodic payment for the specified life of the agreement. The seller makes no payments unless a credit event, relating to a predetermined reference asset, occurs. If such an event does occur, the seller will then make a payment to the buyer, and the swap contract will terminate.

CDS contracts are valued by reference to service data providers, market data and algorithms.

The unrealised gain/loss as at year end is recorded under “Unrealised gain/loss on credit default swap contracts” in the Statement of assets and liabilities. The changes in such amounts are recorded under “net change in unrealised appreciation/(depreciation) on credit default swap contracts” and the realised gain/loss under “net realised gain/(loss) on credit default swap contracts” in the Statement of operations and changes in net assets.

d) valuation of total return swaps a total Return Swap (“tRS”) is a transaction in which the

buyer receives the performance of an underlying asset and in return the buyer pays funding costs and generally, an arrangement fee. The underlying asset may be, but not limited to, a specific security, basket of securities, other instruments and index.

tRS contracts are valued by reference to the mark to market value based on the market value of the underlying asset.

The unrealised gain/loss as at year end is recorded under “Unrealised gain/loss on total return swap contracts” in the Statement of assets and liabilities. The changes in such amounts are recorded under “net change in unrealised appreciation/(depreciation) on total return swap contracts” and the realised gain/loss under “net realised gain/(loss) on total return swap contracts” in the Statement of operations and changes in net assets.

e) valuation of options Options are contractual agreements that convey the right, but

not the obligation, for the purchaser either to buy or sell a specific amount of a financial instrument at a fixed price, either at a fixed future date or at any time within a specified period.

Options are valued by reference to the expected future cash flow based on the market implied performance, spot level and the volatility of the underlying asset(s).

When securities are acquired or delivered upon exercise of an option, the acquisition cost or sale proceeds are adjusted by the amount of the premium paid. When an option is closed, the difference between the premium and the cost to close the position is recorded under “net realised gain/(loss) on options” in the Statement of operations and changes in net assets. When an option expires, the premium is accounted for as a realised gain for options written or as a realised loss for options purchased.

The unrealised gain/loss on option as at year end is recorded under “Unrealised gain/loss on options” in the Statement of assets and liabilities. The changes in such amounts are recorded under “net change in unrealised appreciation/(depreciation) on options” in the Statement of operations and changes in net assets.

f) valuation of forward foreign exchange contracts a forward foreign exchange contract is an agreement

between two parties to exchange one currency for another at a specific price and date in the future.

Open forward contracts are valued based by reference to the last available currency rates prevailing at the relevant valuation date.

The unrealised gain/loss as at year end is recorded under “Unrealised gain/loss on forward foreign currency exchange contracts” in the Statement of assets and liabilities. The changes in such amounts are recorded under “net change in unrealised appreciation/(depreciation) on foreign exchange transactions” and the realised gain/loss under “net realised gain/(loss) on foreign exchange transactions” in the Statement of operations and changes in net assets.

g) valuation of futures contracts a futures contract is a contractual agreement, to buy or sell

a particular commodity or financial instrument at a pre-determined price in the future. Futures contracts detail the quality and quantity of the underlying asset and they are standardised to facilitate trading on a futures exchange.

189 Morgan Stanley Investment Funds 31 December 2012

Notes to the financial statements (continued)As at 31 December 2012

Futures contracts are valued at the last available prices on the exchanges for which the contracts are traded on.

The unrealised gain/loss as at year end is recorded under “Unrealised gain/loss on futures contracts” in the Statement of assets and liabilities. The changes in such amounts are recorded under “net change in unrealised appreciation/(depreciation) on financial futures contracts” and the realised gain/loss under “net realised gain/(loss) on financial futures contracts” in the Statement of operations and changes in net assets.

h) income and securities transactions Dividend income is recorded on the ex dividend date.

Interest income is accrued daily. Discounts and premiums are accreted and amortised as adjustments to interest income. Income from securities lending is recorded on a cash receipts basis.

Securities transactions are accounted for on a trade date basis, on the date the securities are purchased or sold. Realised gains or losses on the sale of securities are determined on the basis of the average cost method and are recorded under “net realised gain/(loss) on investments” in the Statement of operations and changes in net assets.

i) valuation of repurchase agreements Under a repurchase agreement, the Company purchases

securities and agrees to re-sell them at a mutually agreed upon date and price. a repurchase agreement is collateralised by securities (see note 11). Repurchase agreements are valued at cost with interest accrued from the date of purchase.

j) translation of foreign currencies transactions in foreign currencies are translated into the

currency of each Fund at the last available rate of exchange prevailing in a recognised market at the date of the transactions. assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into the currency of each Fund at the last available rate of exchange prevailing in a recognised market at the date of the Statement of assets and liabilities.

The Combined statement of assets and liabilities is presented in US dollars at the last available rate of exchange prevailing in a recognised market at the date of the Statement of assets and liabilities, while the combined Statement of operations and changes in net assets is presented in US dollars at the average exchange rates ruling during the year.

The difference between opening net assets stated at exchange rates at the beginning of the year and their value at the end of the year is shown as “translation difference” in the Statement of operations and changes in net assets.

k) mauritian subsidiary The Indian equity Fund currently invests through Morgan

Stanley SICav (Mauritius) Ltd (the “Subsidiary”). all assets and liabilities, income and expenses of the Subsidiary are

recorded in the Statement of assets and liabilities and the Statement of operations and changes in net assets of the Indian equity Fund. all investments held by the Subsidiary are individually disclosed in the statement of investments of the Indian equity Fund.

The Subsidiary incurs and pays certain fees and expenses relating to its investment activity in India. These fees and expenses may include brokerage costs and commissions, transaction costs associated with converting currency to and from Indian Rupee to US dollars, fees incurred by its standing proxy, corporate and registration fees and taxes associated with the establishment and operation of the Subsidiary.

3 SeCUritieS LenDinG

Certain Fund’s may lend securities to qualified financial institutions, such as broker-dealers, to earn additional income. any increase or decrease in the fair value of the securities loaned that might occur and any interest earned or dividends declared on those securities during the term of the loan would remain in the Fund. Funds that lend securities, receive securities as collateral in an amount equal to or exceeding 100% of the current fair value of the loaned securities. The collateral is marked to market daily, by the securities lending agent, to ensure that a minimum of 100% collateral coverage is maintained throughout the term of the loan. Securities lending income is generated as a result of securities on loan less compensation to the administrative agent. net securities lending income is included in the Statement of operations and changes in net assets. See note 4(b) for related party disclosure on securities lending transactions.

The value of loaned securities and related collateral outstanding as at 31 December 2012 are as follows:

to the extent that the Directors consider that it is in the best interests of Shareholders, taking into account factors including the prevailing market conditions, the level of subscriptions and redemptions in a particular Fund and the size of the Fund, the Directors may decide to adjust the net asset value of a Fund to reflect the estimated dealing spreads, costs and charges (“Swing Factor”) to be incurred by the Fund in liquidating or purchasing investments to satisfy the net transactions received in respect of a particular day.

Under normal market circumstances, the Swing Factor shall not exceed 1% of the net asset value of the relevant Fund on the relevant day. When net subscriptions in a Fund exceed a certain threshold on a given day, the net asset value is adjusted upwards by the Swing Factor. Similarly, when net redemptions in a Fund exceed a certain threshold on a given day, the net asset value of the Fund is adjusted downwards by the Swing Factor.

Independent Auditor’s Report

To the Shareholders of Morgan Stanley Investment Funds 6B, route de Trèves L-2633 Senningerberg Luxembourg

We have audited the accompanying financial statements of Morgan Stanley Investment Funds (the “SICav”) and of each of its sub-funds, which comprise the statement of assets and liabilities and the statement of investments as at 31 December 2012 and the statement of operations and changes in net assets for the year then ended, and a summary of significant accounting policies and other notes to the financial statements.

Responsibility of the Board of Directors of the SICAV for the financial statements

The Board of Directors of the SICav is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these financial statements in accordance with Luxembourg legal and regulatory requirements relating to the preparation and presentation of the financial statements and for such internal control as the Board of Directors of the SICav determines is necessary to enable the preparation and presentation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

Responsibility of the “réviseur d’entreprises agréé”

Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on auditing as adopted for Luxembourg by the “Commission de Surveillance du Secteur Financier”. Those standards require that we comply with ethical requirements and plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free from material misstatement.

an audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the judgement of the “réviseur d’entreprises agréé”, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the “réviseur d’entreprises agréé” considers internal control relevant to the entity’s preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity’s internal control. an audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates made by the Board of Directors of the SICav, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements.

We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.

Opinion

In our opinion, the financial statements give a true and fair view of the financial position of Morgan Stanley Investment Funds and of each of its sub-funds as of 31 December 2012 and of the results of their operations and changes in their net assets for the year then ended in accordance with Luxembourg legal and regulatory requirements relating to the preparation and presentation of the financial statements.

Other matter

Supplementary information included in the annual report has been reviewed in the context of our mandate but has not been subject to specific audit procedures carried out in accordance with the standards described above. Consequently, we express no opinion on such information. However, we have no observation to make concerning such information in the context of the financial statements taken as a whole.

Currency Hedged Share Classes seek to reduce the currency exposure of the Shareholder to currencies other than the currency in which the Currency Hedged Share Class is denominated (the “Hedged Share Class Currency”). The hedging process will vary depending on the type of fund for which the Currency Hedged Share Class is issued and the hedging strategy adopted for all the Currency Hedged Share Classes in that particular Fund, as defined by the prospectus. Duration Hedged Share Classes utilise hedging strategies to seek to limit a share class’ exposure to interest rate movements. The hedging strategies adopted at the year end are as follows:
