PART I





Item 1.  BUSINESS





(a)  General Development of Business. Morgan Stanley Smith Barney Spectrum Global Balanced L.P. (formerly, Morgan Stanley Spectrum Global Balanced L.P.) (the “Partnership”) is a Delaware limited partnership organized in 1994 to engage primarily in the speculative trading of futures contracts, options on futures 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 Interest”). The Partnership commenced trading operations on November 2, 1994.  The Partnership is one of the Morgan Stanley Smith Barney Spectrum series of funds, comprised of the Partnership, Morgan Stanley Smith Barney Spectrum Currency L.P., Morgan Stanley Smith Barney Spectrum Select L.P., Morgan Stanley Smith Barney Spectrum Strategic L.P., and Morgan Stanley Smith Barney Spectrum Technical L.P. (collectively, the “Spectrum Series”).  Additionally, after the Spectrum Series’ November 30, 2008 monthly close, Demeter Management LLC (“Demeter”), the general partner of the Partnership, no longer offers for purchase or exchange units of limited partnership interest (“Unit(s)”) in the Spectrum Series.





The commodity brokers are Morgan Stanley & Co. Incorporated (“MS&Co.”) and Morgan Stanley & Co. International plc (“MSIP”).  MS&Co. acts as the counterparty on all trading of foreign currency forward contracts.  Morgan Stanley Capital Group Inc. (“MSCG”) acts as the counterparty on all trading of options on foreign currency forward contracts.  MSIP serves as the commodity broker for trades on the London Metal Exchange.  MS&Co., MSIP, and MSCG are wholly-owned subsidiaries of





- 2 -





Morgan Stanley. The trading advisors to the Partnership are SSARIS Advisors, LLC, Altis Partners (Jersey) Limited, and C-View International Limited (each individually, a “Trading Advisor”, or collectively, the “Trading Advisors”).





On April 30, 2009, Demeter Management Corporation was converted from a Delaware corporation to a Delaware limited liability company and changed its name to Demeter Management LLC.  Demeter is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Morgan Stanley Smith Barney Holdings LLC, which is majority-owned indirectly by Morgan Stanley and minority-owned indirectly by Citigroup Inc. (“Citigroup”).





Demeter does not believe that the change in its ownership had a material impact on the Partnership’s limited partners.  At all times Demeter served as the general partner of the Partnership and it continues to do so.  The change in ownership occurred pursuant to the transaction in which Morgan Stanley and Citigroup agreed to combine the Global Wealth Management Group of Morgan Stanley and the Smith Barney division of Citigroup Global Markets Inc. into a new joint venture.  The transaction closed on June 1, 2009.





Prior to June 1, 2009, Demeter was a wholly-owned subsidiary of Morgan Stanley.





Effective September 29, 2009, Demeter changed the name of Morgan Stanley Spectrum Global Balanced L.P. to Morgan Stanley Smith Barney Spectrum Global Balanced L.P.  The name change does not have any impact on the operation of the Partnership or its limited partners.

The Partnership began the year at a net asset value per Unit of $17.50 and returned (13.0)% to $15.23 per Unit on December 31, 2009.  For a more detailed description of the Partnership's business, see subparagraph (c).

Item 7.
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION  AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS





Liquidity.  The Partnership deposits its assets with MS&Co. and MSIP as commodity brokers in separate futures, forward and options trading accounts established for each Trading Advisor.  Such assets are used as margin to engage in trading and may be used as margin solely for the Partnership’s trading.  The assets are held in either non-interest bearing bank accounts or in securities and instruments permitted by the Commodity Futures Trading Commission for investment of customer segregated or secured funds.  Since the Partnership’s sole purpose is to trade in futures, forwards and options, it is expected that the Partnership will continue to own such liquid assets for margin purposes.





The Partnership’s investment in futures, forwards and options may, from time to time, be illiquid.  Most U.S. futures exchanges limit fluctuations in prices during a single day by regulations referred to as “daily price fluctuations limits” or “daily limits”.  Trades may not be executed at prices beyond the daily limit.  If the price for a particular futures or options contract has increased or decreased by an amount equal to the daily limit, positions in that futures or options contract can neither be taken nor liquidated unless traders are willing to effect trades at or within the limit.  Futures prices have occasionally moved the daily limit for several consecutive days with little or no trading.  These market conditions could prevent the Partnership from promptly liquidating its futures or options contracts and result in restrictions on redemptions.











- 10 -





There is no limitation on daily price moves in trading forward contracts on foreign currencies.  The markets for some world currencies have low trading volume and are illiquid, which may prevent the Partnership from trading in potentially profitable markets or prevent the Partnership from promptly liquidating unfavorable positions in such markets, subjecting it to substantial losses.  Either of these market conditions could result in restrictions on redemptions.  For the periods covered by this report, illiquidity has not materially affected the Partnership’s assets.





There are no known material trends, demands, commitments, events, or uncertainties at the present time that are reasonably likely to result in the Partnership’s liquidity increasing or decreasing in any material way.





Capital Resources.  The Partnership does not have, nor does it expect to have, any capital assets.  Redemptions of Units in the future will affect the amount of funds available for investments in futures, forwards and options in subsequent periods.  It is not possible to estimate the amount, and therefore the impact, of future outflows of Units.  Effective December 1, 2008, Demeter no longer accepts any subscriptions for Units of the Partnership or any exchanges from other Spectrum Series partnerships for Units of the Partnership.





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.











- 11 -





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.  The following presents a summary of the Partnership’s operations for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2009, and a general discussion of its trading activities during each period.  It is important to note, however, that the Trading Advisors trade in various markets at different times and that prior activity in a particular market does not mean that such market will be actively traded by the Trading Advisors or will be profitable in the future.  Consequently, the results of operations of the Partnership are difficult to discuss other than in the context of the Trading Advisors’ trading activities on behalf of the Partnership during the period in question.  Past performance is no guarantee of future results.





The Partnership’s results of operations set forth in the financial statements are prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”), which require the use of certain accounting policies that affect the amounts reported in these financial statements, including the following:  the contracts the Partnership trades are accounted for on a trade-date basis and marked to market on a daily basis. The difference between their original contract value and market value is recorded on the Statements of Operations as “Net change in unrealized trading profit (loss)” for open (unrealized) contracts, and recorded as “Realized trading profit (loss)” when open positions are closed out.  The sum of these amounts constitutes the Partnership’s trading results.  The market value of a futures contract is the settlement price on the exchange on which that futures contract is traded on a particular day.  The value of a foreign currency forward contract is based on the spot rate as of the close of business.  Interest income,





- 12 -





as well as management fees, incentive fees, and brokerage fees of the Partnership are recorded on an accrual basis.





Demeter believes that, based on the nature of the operations of the Partnership, no assumptions relating to the application of critical accounting policies other than those presently used could reasonably affect reported amounts.





The Partnership recorded total trading results including interest income totaling $(1,966,205) and expenses totaling $1,464,431, resulting in a net loss of $3,430,636 for the year ended December 31, 2009.  The Partnership’s net asset value per Unit decreased from $17.50 at December 31, 2008, to $15.23 at December 31, 2009.  Total redemptions for the year was $7,137,489, and the Partnership’s ending capital was $19,809,350 at December 31, 2009, a decrease of $10,568,125 from ending capital at December 31, 2008, of $30,377,475.





The most significant trading losses of approximately 2.8% were incurred within the energy markets primarily during March, April, May, and July from short futures positions in crude oil and its related products as prices moved higher amid positive economic data, which spurred optimism that energy demand might rebound.  Additional losses were recorded during October from newly established long futures positions in crude oil and its related products as prices reversed lower after government reports showed U.S. consumer spending dropped for the first time in seven months.  Losses of approximately 2.7% were experienced in the currency sector primarily during February, March, May, July, and August from short





- 13 -





positions in the euro and Mexican peso versus the U.S. dollar as the value of the U.S. dollar moved lower against most of its rivals after a government report showed U.S. employers cut fewer jobs than forecast, which reduced demand for the U.S. dollar as a “safe haven” currency.  Additional losses were incurred, primarily during January and April, from long positions in the euro versus the Canadian dollar as the value of the Canadian dollar moved higher on strength in the commodity markets.  Losses of approximately 2.0% were incurred within the agricultural complex primarily during March and June from short futures positions in coffee and feeder cattle as prices rose on speculation that government bailouts might help revive the world economy and boost demand for these commodities.  Coffee prices continued to move higher throughout a majority of the third quarter on speculation that adverse weather in Colombia and Brazil might disrupt harvests and tighten supplies, thus resulting in losses for short positions.  Further losses in the agricultural complex resulted from long and short futures positions in soybeans as prices moved without consistent direction during July, August, September, and October amid conflicting reports regarding supply and demand.  Within the global interest rate sector, losses of approximately 2.0% were experienced primarily during January from long positions in U.S. and European fixed-income futures as prices dropped following news that debt sales might increase as governments around the world boosted spending in an effort to ease the deepening economic slump.  Additional losses were incurred during April and June from long positions in U.S. and European fixed-income futures as prices moved lower after a pledge from Group of G-20 leaders to support the global economy reduced demand for the relative “safety” of government bonds.  Further losses were experienced during December from long positions in U.S., European, and Australian fixed-income futures as prices fell sharply amid concern that an unprecedented








- 14 -





supply of government bonds might outweigh demand as governments around the world were issuing record amounts of debt to finance economic stimulus measures.  Lastly, losses of approximately 0.4% were recorded in the metals sector throughout a majority of the first half of the year from short futures positions in aluminum and tin as prices reversed higher on speculation that economic stimulus plans in the U.S. and China would help boost demand for base metals.  Additional losses were incurred in the metals sector, primarily during December, from short positions in nickel futures as prices rose on speculation that demand in China and the U.S., the world’s biggest purchasers of base metals, might strengthen as the global economy continued to improve.  A portion of the Partnership’s overall losses for the year was offset by gains of approximately 1.8% in the global stock index sector throughout a majority of the second half of the year from long positions in European, U.S., and Pacific Rim equity index futures as prices moved higher due to positive corporate earnings reports, stronger-than-expected economic data, and optimism that the global economy might be stabilizing.





The Partnership recorded total trading results including interest income totaling $6,074,572 and expenses totaling $2,736,224, resulting in net income of $3,338,348 for the year ended December 31, 2008.  The Partnership’s net asset value per Unit increased from $15.63 at December 31, 2007, to $17.50 at December 31, 2008.  Total redemptions and subscriptions for the year were $9,926,362 and $2,053,979, respectively, and the Partnership’s ending capital was $30,377,475 at December 31, 2008, a decrease of $4,534,035 from ending capital at December 31, 2007, of $34,911,510.











- 15 -





The most significant trading gains of approximately 5.4% were experienced in the global interest rate sector during August, October, November, and December from long positions in European and Australian fixed-income futures as prices moved higher in a worldwide “flight-to-quality” following a drop in the global equity markets, as well as worries regarding the fundamental health of the global economy and financial system.  Additional gains of approximately 4.3% were recorded in the energy markets throughout a majority of the first half of the year from long futures positions in crude oil and its related products as prices moved consistently higher due to speculation that OPEC might cut production, ongoing geopolitical concerns in the Middle East, growing Asian fuel consumption, and strong demand for physical commodities as an inflation hedge.  Additional gains were recorded during the fourth quarter from newly established short futures positions in crude oil and its related products as prices sharply decreased on concerns that a substantial global economic slowdown might erode energy demand.  Within the agricultural complex, gains of 4.2% were experienced primarily during January and February, from long positions in wheat futures as prices increased to a record high amid diminishing stockpiles and consistently rising global demand.  Meanwhile, long futures positions in the soybean complex resulted in gains primarily during January, February, and June as prices increased after a government report showed a rise in demand for U.S. supplies.  During October, smaller gains resulted from short futures positions in wheat and cotton as prices declined amid rising inventories and growing concerns that slowing global economic growth might reduce demand for these commodities. Gains of approximately 3.9% were recorded in the metals sector during February from long positions in tin futures as prices moved higher on reports of falling inventories amid rising demand from China and India.  During September, October, November, and December, additional gains were experienced





- 16 -





from newly established short futures positions in nickel, aluminum, tin, lead, and zinc as prices declined amid worries that a global economic recession might erode demand for base metals. Elsewhere, long positions in platinum futures resulted in gains during February as prices moved higher amid continued uncertainty in the direction of the U.S. dollar and further “safe haven” buying due to weakness in global equity markets.  Within the currency sector, gains of approximately 2.6% were achieved during February, March, and June from long positions in the euro and Japanese yen versus the U.S. dollar as the value of the U.S. dollar moved lower against these currencies during the first six months of the year amid speculation that signs of a slowing U.S. economy might spur the U.S. Federal Reserve to lower interest rates at a faster pace than other central banks around the world.  Short positions in the Korean won versus the U.S. dollar resulted in additional gains, primarily during March, as the value of the Korean won decreased relative to the U.S. dollar amid news of a widening Current-Account deficit out of Korea.  Further gains were experienced during October from newly established short positions in the Australian dollar, euro, and Canadian dollar versus the U.S. dollar as the value of the U.S. dollar moved higher against most of its rivals in tandem with rising U.S. dollar-denominated Treasury bonds amid the aforementioned “flight-to-quality”.  Meanwhile, gains were experienced throughout the fourth quarter from long positions in the Japanese yen versus the U.S. dollar as the value of the Japanese yen increased after mounting fears of a global economic recession prompted investors to sell higher-yielding assets funded by loans in Japan.  A portion of the Partnership’s overall gains for the year was offset by small losses of approximately 0.4% in the global stock index sector, primarily during January, from long positions in European and U.S. equity index futures as prices moved lower on concerns that mounting losses linked to U.S. sub-prime mortgage investments would continue to erode corporate earnings and curb global economic growth.

The Partnership’s net asset value per Units increased from $15.60 at December 31, 2006, to $15.63 at December 31, 2007.  Total redemptions and subscriptions for the year were $8,388,919 and $2,900,452, respectively, and the Partnership’s ending capital was $34,911,510 at December 31, 2007, a decrease of $5,445,810 from ending capital at December 31, 2006, of $40,357,320.





The most significant trading gains of approximately 4.1% were experienced in the global interest rate sector during January, May, and June from short positions in U.S., German, and Japanese fixed-income futures as prices trended lower as consistently strong economic data out of these countries resulted in reduced demand for the “safe haven” of fixed-income investments.  In addition, prices moved higher on investor sentiment that these respective central banks would need to raise interest rates in order to curb inflation.  During August, September, and November newly established long positions in U.S., German, and Japanese fixed-income futures resulted in gains as prices increased in a continuation of a worldwide “flight-to-quality” after volatility in global equity markets, spurred by losses in the U.S. sub-prime mortgage sector, caused investors to seek the “safety” of government bonds.  Additional gains of approximately 1.2% were recorded in the metals markets during February, March, and April from long positions in nickel and copper futures as prices moved higher on speculation that low stockpiles would create a supply shortage and after the International Monetary Fund's strong global growth forecasts bolstered sentiment that demand for base metals would increase.  Further gains were recorded from newly established short positions in nickel futures as prices moved lower during June

and November on news that China would cut stainless steel output.  Elsewhere in the metals complex, short positions in silver futures resulted in gains during March and June as prices fell amid speculative selling.  Smaller gains of approximately 1.2% were recorded in the energy markets during March, April, July, and December from long futures positions in crude oil and its related products as prices trended higher due to persistent concerns that instability in Iraq and tension over Iran's nuclear program would negatively affect global supply.  In addition, energy prices increased amid continued weakness in the U.S. dollar as U.S. dollar-denominated assets became more attractive to investors.  A portion of the Partnership’s overall gains for the year was offset by losses of approximately 5.8% in the global stock index sector during February and early March from long positions in U.S., European, and Pacific Rim stock index futures as prices reversed sharply lower after a massive sell-off in the global equity markets that began on February 27, 2007, following comments from former U.S. Federal Reserve Chairman Alan Greenspan that the U.S. economy could be due for a recession.  In addition, worries that tighter credit conditions in China and Japan might dampen global growth first sent Chinese stock markets plunging before the sell-off spread to other equity markets.  During July, August, November, and December, long positions in U.S. and European equity index futures resulted in further losses as prices fell sharply on concerns that a widening credit crunch, sparked by U.S. sub-prime mortgage losses, would erode global economic growth and corporate earnings.  These concerns heightened after U.S. Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke told a congressional hearing on November 8, 2007, that U.S. policy makers expected U.S. growth to “slow noticeably” in the fourth quarter of 2007 and remain “sluggish” in the first half of 2008.

For an analysis of unrealized gains and (losses) by contract type and a further description of 2009 trading results, refer to the Partnership’s Annual Report to Limited Partners for the year ended December 31, 2009, which is incorporated by reference to Exhibit 13.01 of this Form 10-K.





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





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 trades 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. 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 account.








- 20 -





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





Credit Risk.


In addition to market risk, in entering into futures, forward, and options contracts, there is a credit risk to the Partnership that the counterparty on a contract will not be able to meet its obligations to the Partnership.  The ultimate counterparty or guarantor of the Partnership for futures, forward, and options contracts traded in the United States and most foreign exchanges on which the Partnership trades is the clearinghouse associated with such exchange.  In general, a clearinghouse is backed by the membership of the exchange and will act in the event of non-performance by one of its members or one of its member’s customers, which should significantly reduce this credit risk.  There is no assurance that a clearinghouse, exchange, or other exchange member will meet its obligations to the Partnership, and Demeter and the commodity brokers will not indemnify the Partnership against a default by such parties. Further, the law is unclear as to whether a commodity broker has any obligation to protect its customers from loss in the event of an exchange or clearinghouse defaulting on trades effected for the broker’s customers.  In cases where the Partnership trades off-exchange forward contracts with a counterparty, the sole recourse of the Partnership will be the forward contract’s counterparty.








- 21 -





Demeter deals with these credit risks of the Partnership in several ways.  First, Demeter 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 Demeter has installed a system which permits it to monitor the Partnership’s potential net credit exposure, exchange by exchange, by adding the unrealized trading gains on each exchange, if any, to the Partnership’s margin liability thereon.





Second, the Partnership’s trading policies limit the amount of its net assets that can be committed at any given time to futures contracts and require a minimum amount of diversification in the Partnership’s trading, usually over several different products and exchanges.  Historically, the Partnership’s exposure to any one exchange has typically amounted to only a small percentage of its total net assets and on those relatively few occasions where the Partnership’s credit exposure climbs above such level, Demeter deals with the situation on a case by case basis, carefully weighing whether the increased level of credit exposure remains appropriate.  Material changes to the trading policies may be made only with the prior written approval of the limited partners owning more than 50% of Units then outstanding.





Third, with respect to forward and options on forward contract trading, the Partnership trades with only those counterparties which Demeter, 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 MSCG as the sole counterparty on all trading of options on foreign currency forward contracts.

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





Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures.


As defined by Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”)  820-10-55, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures(formerly, Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 157, Fair Value Measurements), fair value is the amount that would be recovered when an asset is sold or an amount paid to transfer a liability, in an ordinary transaction between market participants at the measurement date (exit price).  Market price observability is impacted by a number of factors, including the types of investments, the characteristics specific to the investment, and the state of the market (including the existence and the transparency of transactions between market participants).  Investments with readily available actively quoted prices in an ordinary market will generally have a higher degree of market price observability and a lesser degree of judgment used in measuring fair value.





ASC 820-10-55 requires use of a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value into three levels: Level 1 – unadjusted quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities; Level 2 - inputs other than unadjusted quoted market prices that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly (including quoted prices for similar





- 23 -





investments, interest rates, credit risk); and Level 3 - unobservable inputs for the asset or liability (including the Partnership’s own assumptions used in determining the fair value of investments).





In certain cases, the inputs used to measure fair value may fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy.  In such cases, an investment’s level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement.  The Partnership’s assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement in its entirety requires judgment, and considers factors specific to the investment.





The following tables summarize the valuation of the Partnership’s investments according to the level of the above ASC 820-10-55 fair value hierarchy as of December 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively:

Derivatives and Hedging


ASC 815-10-65 Derivatives and Hedging (formerly, SFAS No. 161, Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities – an amendment of SFAS No. 133), which was issued in March 2008, is





- 24 -





intended to improve financial reporting about derivative instruments and hedging activities by requiring enhanced disclosures to enable investors to better understand how those instruments and activities are accounted for; how and why they are used; and their effects on a Partnership’s financial position, financial performance, and cash flows.  ASC 815-10-65 is effective as of January 1, 2009 for the Partnership.  The adoption of ASC 815-10-65 did not have a material impact on the Partnership’s financial statements, other than enhanced financial statements disclosures.





The Partnership’s objective is to profit from speculative trading in Futures Interests.  Therefore, the Trading Advisors for the Partnership will take speculative positions in Futures Interests where they feel the best profit opportunities exist for their trading strategy.  As such, the absolute quantity (the total of 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.  In regards to foreign currency forward trades, each notional quantity amount has been converted to an equivalent contract based upon an industry convention.





The following table summarizes the valuation of the Partnership’s investments as required by the ASC 815-10-65 as of December 31, 2009 and reflects the contracts outstanding at such time.

Other Pronouncements


(a)  Accounting Standards Codification and the Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles


On July 1, 2009, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued SFAS No. 168, The FASB Accounting Standards Codification and the Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles, also known as FASB ASC 105-10, Generally Accepted Accounting Principles(“ASC 105-10” or the “Codification”).  ASC 105-10 established the exclusive authoritative reference for U.S. GAAP for use in financial statements except for SEC rules and interpretive releases, which are also authoritative GAAP for SEC registrants.  The Codification supersedes all existing non-SEC accounting and reporting standards.  The Codification became the single source of authoritative accounting principles generally accepted in the United States and is effective for financial statements issued for interim and annual periods ending after September 15, 2009.





(b)  Subsequent Events


The Partnership adopted ASC 855-10, Subsequent Events(formerly, SFAS No. 165, Subsequent Events), which was issued in May 2009, and Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2010-09, Subsequent Events (Topic 855) Amendments to Certain Recognition and Disclosures Requirements, which was issued in February 2010.  ASC 855-10establishes general standards of accounting for and disclosure of events that occur after the balance sheet date but before financial statements are issued.  ASC 855-10 is effective for the interim and annual periods ending after June 15, 2009 and ASU No. 2010-09 is effective immediately.  Management has performed its evaluation of subsequent events, and has determined that there were no subsequent events requiring adjustment or disclosures in the financial statements.


- 27 -





(c)  Fair Value Measurements


ASC 820-10-65, Fair Value Measurements (formerly, FASB Staff Position (“FSP”) SFAS No. 157-4, Determining Fair Value When the Volume and Level of Activity for the Asset or Liability Have Significantly Decreased and Identifying Transactions That Are Not Orderly), was issued in April 2009.  ASC 820-10-65 provides additional guidance for determining fair value and requires new disclosures regarding the categories of fair value instruments, as well as the inputs and valuation techniques utilized to determine fair value and any changes to the inputs and valuation techniques during the period.  ASC 820-10-65 is effective for the interim and annual periods ending after June 15, 2009.  The adoption of ASC 820-10-65 did not have a material impact on the Partnership’s financial statements.





Recent Accounting Pronouncements


(a)  Improving Disclosures about Fair Value Measurements


In January 2010, the FASB issued ASU No. 2010-06, Improving Disclosures about Fair Value Measurements, which, among other things, amends ASC 820 to require entities to separately present purchases, sales, issuances, and settlements in their reconciliation of Level 3 fair value measurements (i.e., to present such items on a gross basis rather than on a net basis), and which clarifies existing disclosure requirements provided by ASC 820 regarding the level of disaggregation and the inputs and valuation techniques used to measure fair value for measurements that fall within either Level 2 or Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.  ASU No. 2010-06 is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2009, except for the disclosures about purchases, sales, issuances, and settlements in the roll forward of activity in Level 3 fair value measurements which are effective for





- 28 -





fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2010, and for interim periods within those fiscal years.  The Partnership is currently assessing the impact of adopting ASU No. 2010-06.





(b) Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities





In June 2009, the FASB issued ASC 810-10, Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities (formerly, SFAS 167, Amendments to FASB Interpretation No. 46(R), Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities). ASC 810-10 contains new criteria for determining the primary beneficiary, and increases the frequency of required reassessments to determine whether a company is the primary beneficiary of a variable interest entity. ASC 810-10 also contains a new requirement that any term, transaction, or arrangement that does not have a substantive effect on an entity’s status as a variable interest entity, a company’s power over a variable interest entity, or a company’s obligation to absorb losses or its right to receive benefits of an entity must be disregarded in applying Interpretation 46(R)’s provisions. ASC 810-10 is applicable for annual periods beginning after November 15, 2009, and interim periods thereafter. Effective February 25, 2010, the FASB has decided to indefinitely defer the application of ASC 810-10 for certain entities. Management believes that the Partnership meets the criteria for the indefinite deferral of the application of ASC 810-10.





Item 7A.  QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK


Introduction





The Partnership is a commodity pool engaged primarily in the speculative trading of futures, forwards and options. The market-sensitive instruments held by the Partnership are acquired for speculative trading





- 29 -





purposes only and, as a result, all or substantially all of the Partnership’s assets are at risk of trading loss.  Unlike an operating company, the risk of market-sensitive instruments is inherent to the primary business activity of the Partnership.





The futures, forwards and options on such contracts 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, exchange-traded forward, and exchange-traded futures-styled options contracts are settled daily through variation margin.  Gains and losses on off-exchange-traded forward currency contracts are settled upon termination of the contract.  Gains and losses on off-exchange-traded forward currency options contracts are settled upon an agreed upon settlement date.  However, the Partnership is required to meet margin requirements equal to the net unrealized loss on open forward currency contracts in the Partnership accounts with the counterparty, which is accomplished by daily maintenance of the cash balance in a custody account held at MS&Co.





The Partnership’s total market risk may increase or decrease as it is influenced by a wide variety of factors, including, but not limited to, the diversification among the Partnership’s open positions, the volatility present within the markets, and the liquidity of the markets.











- 30 -





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.





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 under the “Partnership’s Value at Risk in Different Market Sectors” section and significantly exceed the Value at Risk (“VaR”) tables disclosed.





Limited partners will not be liable for losses exceeding the current net asset value of their investment.





Quantifying the Partnership’s Trading Value at Risk


The following quantitative disclosures regarding the Partnership’s market risk exposures contain “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the safe harbor from civil liability provided for such statements by the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 (set forth in Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934).  All quantitative disclosures in this section are deemed to be forward-looking statements for purposes of the safe harbor, except for statements of historical fact.





- 31 -





The Partnership accounts for open positions on the basis of mark to market accounting principles.  Any loss in the market value of the Partnership’s open positions is directly reflected in the Partnership’s earnings and cash flow.





The Partnership’s risk exposure in the market sectors traded by the Trading Advisors is estimated below in terms of VaR.  The Partnership estimates VaR using a model based upon historical simulation (with a confidence level of 99%) which involves constructing a distribution of hypothetical daily changes in the value of a trading portfolio.  The VaR model takes into account linear exposures to risks including equity and commodity prices, interest rates, foreign exchange rates, and correlation among these variables.  The hypothetical changes in portfolio value are based on daily percentage changes observed in key market indices or other market factors (“market risk factors”) to which the portfolio is sensitive.  The one-day 99% confidence level of the Partnership’s VaR corresponds to the negative change in portfolio value that, based on observed market risk factors, would have been exceeded once in 100 trading days, or one day in 100.  VaR typically does not represent the worst case outcome.  Demeter uses approximately four years of daily market data (1,000 observations) and re-values its portfolio (using delta-gamma approximations) for each of the historical market moves that occurred over this time period.  This generates a probability distribution of daily “simulated profit and loss” outcomes.  The VaR is the appropriate percentile of this distribution.  For example, the 99% one-day VaR would represent the 10th worst outcome from Demeter’s simulated profit and loss series.











- 32 -





The Partnership’s VaR computations are based on the risk representation of the underlying benchmark for each instrument or contract and do not distinguish between exchange and non-exchange dealer-based instruments.  They are also not based on exchange and/or dealer-based maintenance margin requirements.  VaR models, including the Partnership’s, are continually evolving as trading portfolios become more diverse and modeling techniques and systems capabilities improve.  Please note that the VaR model is used to numerically quantify market risk for historic reporting purposes only and is not utilized by either Demeter or the Trading Advisors in their daily risk management activities.  Please further note that VaR as described above may not be comparable to similarly-titled measures used by other entities.





The Partnership’s Value at Risk in Different Market Sectors


The following table indicates the VaR associated with the Partnership’s open positions as a percentage of total net assets by primary market risk category at December 31, 2009 and 2008.  At December 31, 2009 and 2008, the Partnership’s total capitalization was approximately $20 million and $30 million, respectively.

The VaR for a market category represents the one-day downside risk for the aggregate exposures associated with this market category.  The Aggregate Value at Risk listed above represents the VaR of the Partnership’s open positions across all the market categories, and is less than the sum of the VaRs for all such market categories due to the diversification benefit across asset classes.





Because the business of the Partnership is the speculative trading of futures, forwards and options, the composition of its trading portfolio can change significantly over any given time period, or even within a single trading day.  Such changes could positively or negatively materially impact market risk as measured by VaR.





The tables below supplement the December 31, 2009 and 2008 VaR set forth above by presenting the Partnership’s high, low, and average VaR, as a percentage of total net assets for the four quarter-end reporting periods from January 1, 2009 through December 31, 2009 and January 1, 2008 through December 31, 2008, respectively.

Limitations on Value at Risk as an Assessment of Market Risk





VaR models permit estimation of a portfolio’s aggregate market risk exposure, incorporating a range of varied market risks, reflect risk reduction due to portfolio diversification or hedging activities, and can cover a wide range of portfolio assets.  However, VaR risk measures should be viewed in light of the methodology’s limitations, which include, but may not be limited to the following:





·
past changes in market risk factors will not always result in accurate predictions of the distributions and correlations of future market movements;


·
changes in portfolio value caused by market movements may differ from those of the VaR model;


·
VaR results reflect past market fluctuations applied to current trading positions while future risk depends on future positions;


·
VaR using a one-day time horizon does not fully capture the market risk of positions that cannot be liquidated or hedged within one day; and


·
the historical market risk factor data used for VaR estimation may provide only limited insight into losses that could be incurred under certain unusual market movements.


- 35 -





In addition, the VaR tables above, as well as the past performance of the Partnership, give no indication of the Partnership’s potential “risk of ruin”.





The VaR tables provided present the results of the Partnership’s VaR for each of the Partnership’s market risk exposures and on an aggregate basis at December 31, 2009 and 2008, and for the four quarter-end reporting periods during calendar years 2009 and 2008.  VaR is not necessarily representative of the Partnership’s historic risk, nor should it be used to predict the Partnership’s future financial performance or its ability to manage or monitor risk.  There can be no assurance that the Partnership’s actual losses on a particular day will not exceed the VaR amounts indicated above or that such losses will not occur more than once in 100 trading days.





Non-Trading Risk


The Partnership has non-trading market risk on its foreign cash balances.  These balances and any market risk they may represent are immaterial.





The Partnership also maintains a substantial portion of its available assets in cash at MS&Co.; as of December 31, 2009, such amount is equal to approximately 94% of the Partnership‘s net asset value.  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.











- 36 -





Materiality, as used throughout this section, is based on an assessment of reasonably possible market movements and any associated potential losses, taking into account the leverage, optionality, and multiplier features of the Partnership’s market-sensitive instruments, in relation to the Partnership’s net assets.





Qualitative Disclosures Regarding Primary Trading Risk Exposures


The following qualitative disclosures regarding the Partnership’s market risk exposures – except for (A) those disclosures that are statements of historical fact and (B) the descriptions of how the Partnership manages its primary market risk exposures – constitute forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act.  The Partnership’s primary market risk exposures, as well as the strategies used and to be used by Demeter and the Trading  Advisors for managing such exposures, are subject to numerous uncertainties, contingencies and risks, any one of which could cause the actual results of the Partnership’s risk controls to differ materially from the objectives of such strategies.  Government interventions, defaults and expropriations, illiquid markets, the emergence of dominant fundamental factors, political upheavals, changes in historical price relationships, an influx of new market participants, increased regulation, and many other factors could result in material losses, as well as in material changes to the risk exposures and the risk management strategies of the Partnership.  Investors must be prepared to lose all or substantially all of their investment in the Partnership.





The Trading Advisors, in general, tend to utilize trading system(s) to take positions when market opportunities develop, and Demeter anticipates that the Trading Advisors will continue to do so.





- 37 -





The following were the primary trading risk exposures of the Partnership at December 31, 2009, by market sector.  It may be anticipated, however, that these market exposures will vary materially over time.





Equity.  The largest market exposure of the Partnership at December 31, 2009, was to the global stock index sector, primarily to equity price risk in the G-7 countries.  The G-7 countries consist of France, the U.S., the United Kingdom, Germany, Japan, Italy, and Canada.  The stock index futures traded by the Partnership are by law limited to futures on broadly-based indices.  At December 31, 2009, the Partnership’s primary exposures were to the DAX (Germany), SPI 200 (Australia), CAC 40 (France), FTSE 100 (U.K.), Euro Stox 50 (Europe), S&P 500 (U.S.), NIKKEI 225 (Japan), S&P/MIB (Italy), Canadian S&P 60 (Canada), IBEX 35 (Spain), AEX (The Netherlands), H-Shares (Hong Kong), NASDAQ 100 (U.S.), Singapore Free (Singapore), TOPIX (Japan), ALL SHARE (South Africa), Russell 2000 (U.S.), Taiwan Stock Index (Taiwan), MSCI Pan Euro (Europe), and S&P Nifty (India) stock indices.  The Partnership is primarily exposed to the risk of adverse price trends or static markets in the European, Asian, U.S., Canadian, and South African stock indices.  Static markets would not cause major market changes, but would make it difficult for the Partnership to avoid trendless price movements, resulting in numerous small losses.





Interest Rate.  The second largest market exposure of the Partnership at December 31, 2009, was to the global interest rate sector.  Exposure was primarily spread across the Japanese, European, U.S., Australian, New Zealand, and Canadian interest rate sectors.  Interest rate movements directly affect the price of the sovereign bond futures positions held by the Partnership and indirectly affect the value of its stock index and currency positions.  Interest rate movements in one country, as well as relative





- 38 -





interest rate movements between countries, materially impact the Partnership’s profitability. The Partnership’s interest rate exposure is generally to interest rate fluctuations in the U.S. and the other G-7 countries’ interest rates.  However, the Partnership also takes futures positions in the government debt of smaller countries - e.g., Australia and New Zealand.  Demeter anticipates that the G-7 countries’ interest rates, as well as Australian and New Zealand interest rates, will remain the primary interest rate exposures of the Partnership for the foreseeable future.  The speculative futures positions held by the Partnership range from short to long-term instruments.  Consequently, changes in short, medium, or long-term interest rates may have an effect on the Partnership.





Currency.  At December 31, 2009, the Partnership had market exposure to the currency sector.  The Partnership’s currency exposure is to exchange rate fluctuations, primarily fluctuations which disrupt the historical pricing relationships between different currencies and currency pairs.  Interest rate changes, as well as political and general economic conditions influence these fluctuations.  The Partnership trades a large number of currencies, including cross-rates - i.e., positions between two currencies other than the U.S. dollar.  At December 31, 2009, the Partnership’s major exposures were to the Czech koruna, euro, British pound, Japanese yen, Australian dollar, Canadian dollar, Polish zloty, Swiss franc, New Zealand dollar, Norwegian krone, Mexican peso, Turkish lira, and Swedish krona currency crosses, as well as to outright U.S. dollar positions.  Outright positions consist of the U.S. dollar vs. other currencies.  These other currencies include major and minor currencies.  Demeter does not anticipate that the risk associated with the Partnership’s currency trades will change significantly in the future.





- 39 -





Commodity.


Soft Commodities and Agriculturals.  The third largest market exposure of the Partnership at December 31, 2009, was to the markets that comprise these sectors.  Most of the exposure was to the soybean meal, soybeans, cotton, sugar, wheat, cocoa, soybean oil, orange juice, corn, lumber, fluid milk, rubber, feeder cattle, lean hogs, coffee, rapeseed, and live cattle markets. Supply and demand inequalities, severe weather disruptions, and market expectations affect price movements in these markets.





Metals.  At December 31, 2009, the Partnership had market exposure to the metals sector.  The Partnership’s metals exposure was to fluctuations in the price of precious metals, such as gold, silver, platinum, and palladium, and base metals, such as copper, nickel, zinc, lead, aluminum, and tin.  Economic forces, supply and demand inequalities, geopolitical factors, and market expectations influence price movements in these markets.





Energy.  At December 31, 2009, the Partnership had market exposure to the energy sector.  The Partnership’s energy exposure was primarily to futures contracts in crude oil and its related products, as well as natural gas.  Price movements in these markets result from geopolitical developments, particularly in the Middle East, as well as weather patterns and other economic fundamentals.  Significant profits and losses, which have been experienced in the past, are expected to continue to be experienced in the future.





- 40 -





Qualitative Disclosures Regarding Non-Trading Risk Exposure


The following was the only non-trading risk exposure of the Partnership at December 31, 2009:





Foreign Currency Balances.  The Partnership’s major foreign currency balances at December 31, 2009, were in Australian dollars, Japanese yen, euros, British pounds, Hungarian forint, Mexican pesos, New Zealand dollars, Polish zlotych, Czech koruny, Hong Kong dollars, Canadian dollars, Swedish kronor, Turkish lira, Norwegian krone, South African rands, Swiss francs, Singapore dollars, Israeli sheckles, and Danish krone. The Partnership controls the non-trading risk of foreign currency balances by regularly converting them back into U.S. dollars upon liquidation of their respective positions.





Qualitative Disclosures Regarding Means of Managing Risk Exposure


The Partnership and the Trading Advisors, separately, attempt to manage the risk of the Partnership’s open positions in essentially the same manner in all market categories traded.  Demeter attempts to manage market exposure by diversifying the Partnership’s assets among different market sectors and trading approaches through the selection of Commodity Trading Advisors and by daily monitoring 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.








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

Item 9A.  CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES


As of the end of the period covered by this annual report, the President and Chief Financial Officer of Demeter have evaluated the effectiveness of the Partnership’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Exchange Act), and have judged such controls and procedures to be effective.





Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting


Demeter is responsible for the management of the Partnership.





Management of Demeter (“Management”) is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting.  The internal control over financial reporting is designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.





The Partnership’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that:





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











- 43 -








·
Provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with GAAP, and that the Partnership’s transactions are being made only in accordance with authorizations of Management and directors of Demeter; and





·
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 assessed the effectiveness of the Partnership’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2009.  In making this assessment, Management used the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission in Internal Control-Integrated Framework. Based on our assessment and those criteria, Management believes that the Partnership maintained effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2009.





Attestation Report of the Registered Public Accounting Firm


Deloitte & Touche LLP, the Partnership’s independent registered public accounting firm, has issued an





- 44 -





attestation report on the Partnership’s internal control over financial reporting.  This report, which expresses an unqualified opinion on the Partnership’s internal control over financial reporting, appears under “Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm” in the Partnership’s Annual Report to Limited Partners for the year ended December 31, 2009.





Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting


There have been no changes during the period covered by this annual report in the Partnership’s internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) of the Exchange Act) that have materially affected or are reasonably likely to affect the Partnership’s internal control over financial reporting.





Limitations on the Effectiveness of Controls


Any control system, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide reasonable (not absolute) assurance that its objectives will be met.  Furthermore, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, have been detected.





Item 9A(T).  CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES


Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures


Under the supervision and with the participation of the management of Demeter, at the time this annual report was filed, Demeter’s President (Demeter’s principal executive officer) and Chief Financial

The Partnership’s disclosure controls and procedures are designed to provide reasonable assurance that information the Partnership is required to disclose in the reports that the Partnership files or submits under the Exchange Act are recorded, processed and summarized and reported within the time period specified in the applicable rules and forms.  Based on this evaluation, the President and Chief Financial Officer of Demeter have concluded that the disclosure controls and procedures of the Partnership were effective at December 31, 2009.





Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting


Demeter is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Exchange Act).  Demeter has assessed the effectiveness of the Partnership’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2009.  In making this assessment, Demeter used the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission, known as COSO, in Internal Control-Integrated Framework.  Demeter has concluded that, as of December 31, 2009, the Partnership’s internal control over financial reporting is effective based on these criteria.  This report shall not be deemed to be filed for purposes of Section 18 of the Exchange Act or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that section.

DIRECTOR INDEPENDENCE








Refer to Note 5 – “Related Party Transactions” of “Notes to Financial Statements”, in the accompanying Annual Report to Limited Partners for the year ended December 31, 2009, which is incorporated by reference to Exhibit 13.01 of this Form 10-K.  In its capacity as the Partnership’s retail commodity broker, MS&Co. received commodity brokerage fees (paid and accrued by the Partnership) of $1,104,183 for the year ended December 31, 2009.





Item 14.  PRINCIPAL ACCOUNTANT FEES AND SERVICES


MS&Co. on behalf of the Partnership, pays all accounting fees.  The Partnership reimburses MS&Co. through the brokerage fees it pays, as discussed in the Notes to Financial Statements in the Annual Report to the Limited Partners for the year ended December 31, 2009.





- 55 -





(1)  Audit Fees.  The aggregate fees for professional services rendered by Deloitte & Touche LLP in connection with their audit of the Partnership’s financial statements and review of the financial statements included in the Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q, audit of Management’s assessments of the effectiveness of the internal control over financial reporting, and in connection with statutory and regulatory filings were approximately $54,009 for the year ended December 31, 2009, and $50,296 for the year ended December 31, 2008.








(2)  Audit-Related Fees.  None.








(3)  Tax Fees. The Partnership did not pay Deloitte & Touche LLP any amounts in 2009 and 2008 for professional services in connection with tax compliance, tax advice, and tax planning.  The Partnership engaged another unaffiliated professional firm to provide services in connection with tax compliance, tax advice, and tax planning.











(4)  All Other Fees.  None.


Because the Partnership has no audit committee, the Board of Directors of Demeter, its general partner, functions as the audit committee with respect to the Partnership.  The Board of Directors of Demeter has not established pre-approval policies and procedures with respect to the engagement of audit or permitted non-audit services rendered to the Partnership.  Consequently, all audit and permitted non-audit services provided by Deloitte & Touche LLP that are borne by MS&Co. through the brokerage fees paid for by the Partnership are approved by Morgan Stanley’s Board Audit Committee and the Board of Directors of Demeter.
