                  NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

                           (UNAUDITED)

The  financial statements include, in the opinion of  management,

all  adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of the results

of  operations and financial condition.  The financial statements

and  condensed  notes, herein should be read in conjunction  with

the Partnership's December 31, 1996 Annual Report on Form 10K.


1. Organization

Dean Witter Global Perspective Portfolio Fund (the "Partnership")

is  a  limited partnership organized to engage in the speculative

trading   of  commodity  futures  contracts,  commodity   options

contracts  and  forward  contracts on  foreign  currencies.   The

general   partner  for  the  Partnership  is  Demeter  Management

Corporation  ("Demeter").  The commodity broker  is  Dean  Witter

Reynolds  Inc.  ("DWR").  Both Demeter and DWR  are  wholly-owned

subsidiaries of Dean Witter, Discover & Co. ("DW").  Demeter  has

retained  Abacus Asset Management Inc. ("ABACUS"), ELM Financial,

Inc.,  EMC  Capital  Management, Inc.,  and  Millburn  Ridgefield

Corporation as the trading advisors of the Partnership. Effective

March 1, 1997, ABACUS was removed as a trading advisor and

          DEAN WITTER GLOBAL PERSPECTIVE PORTFOLIO FUND
            NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
                                

partnership  assets previously managed by ABACUS were reallocated

to the remaining advisors.



2.  Related Party Transactions

The  Partnership's  cash  is on deposit  with  DWR  in  commodity

trading accounts to meet margin requirements as needed.  DWR pays

interest  on  these funds based on current 13-week U.S.  Treasury

Bill  rates.  Brokerage expenses incurred by the Partnership  are

paid to DWR.


3.  Financial Instruments

The Partnership trades futures, options and forward contracts  in

interest rates, stock indices, commodities, currencies, petroleum

and  precious  metals.  Futures and forwards represent  contracts

for  delayed  delivery of an instrument at a specified  date  and

price.   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 market value  of  these  contracts,

including  interest  rate volatility.   At  March  31,  1997  and

December 31, 1996, open contracts were:

Exchange-Traded Contracts
 Financial Futures:
   Commitments to Purchase        1,690,000     21,821,000
   Commitments to Sell          104,670,000     86,598,000
 Commodity Futures:
   Commitments to Purchase       21,032,000      4,784,000
   Commitments to Sell            4,462,000     12,396,000
 Foreign Futures:
   Commitments to Purchase       14,867,000     89,863,000
   Commitments to Sell           98,790,000      5,713,000

 Forward Currency Contracts
   Commitments to Purchase       32,585,000     29,783,000
   Commitments to Sell           33,365,000     36,562,000



A  portion of the amounts indicated as off-balance-sheet risk  in

forward   currency   contracts  is  due  to  offsetting   forward

commitments to purchase and to sell the same currency on the same

date   in   the   future.   These  commitments  are  economically

offsetting,  but are not offset in the forward market  until  the

settlement date.

The  unrealized gain on open contracts is reported as a component

of   "Equity  in  Commodity  futures  trading  accounts"  on  the

Statement  of  Financial  Condition and  totaled  $1,490,737  and

$1,076,373 at March 31, 1997 and December 31, 1996, respectively.

Of  the $1,490,737 net unrealized gain on open contracts at March

31,  1997,  $1,518,149  was  related to  exchange-traded  futures

contracts  and  $(27,412) related to off-exchange-traded  forward

currency  contracts.  Of the $1,076,373 net  unrealized  gain  on

open  contracts  at  December  31, 1996,  $1,046,658  related  to

exchange-traded  futures contracts and $29,715  related  to  off-

exchange-traded forward currency contracts.


Exchange-traded  futures contracts held  by  the  Partnership  at

March  31,  1997 and December 31, 1996 mature through March  1998

and   June   1998,  respectively.   Off-exchange-traded   forward

currency contracts held by the Partnership at March 31, 1997  and

December  31,  1996 mature through April 1997 and  January  1997,

respectively.  The contract amounts in the above table  represent

the  Partnership's extent of involvement in the particular  class

of financial instrument, but not the credit risk associated with

counterparty  nonperformance.  The credit  risk  associated  with

these  instruments  is limited to the amounts  reflected  in  the

Partnership's Statements of Financial Condition.


The  Partnership  also has credit risk because DWR  acts  as  the

futures  commission  merchant  or  the  sole  counterparty,  with

respect  to  most  of the Partnership's assets.   Exchange-traded

futures  and options contracts are marked to market  on  a  daily

basis,  with variations in value settled on a daily basis.   DWR,

as  the  futures commission merchant for all of the Partnership's

exchange-traded  futures  and  options  contracts,  is   required

pursuant   to  regulations  of  the  Commodity  Futures   Trading

Commission  to  segregate from its own assets and  for  the  sole

benefit  of  its commodity customers all funds held by  DWR  with

respect   to   exchange-traded  futures  and  options   contracts

including an amount equal to the net unrealized gain on all  open

futures  and  options contracts, which funds totaled  $23,643,553

and  $21,838,132  at  March  31,  1997  and  December  31,  1996,

respectively.   With  respect to the Partnership's  off-exchange-

traded forward currency contracts, there are no daily settlements

of variations in value nor is there any requirement

            NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONCLUDED)
                                

that  an  amount equal to the net unrealized gain on open forward

contracts  be  segregated.  With respect to  those  off-exchange-

traded forward currency contracts, the Partnership is at risk  to

the  ability  of DWR, the counterparty on all such contracts,  to

perform.

Item   2.  MANAGEMENT'S  DISCUSSION  AND  ANALYSIS  OF  FINANCIAL
CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS


Liquidity  - The Partnership's assets are on deposit in  separate

commodity interest trading accounts with DWR, and are used by the

Partnership  as  margin to engage in commodity  futures,  forward

contracts  on  foreign  currencies and other  commodity  interest

trading.  DWR holds such assets in either designated depositories

or  in  securities  approved  by the  Commodity  Futures  Trading

Commission  for investment of customer funds.  The  Partnership's

assets  held  by  DWR  may  be used  as  margin  solely  for  the

Partnership's trading.  Since the Partnership's sole  purpose  is

to  trade  in  commodity futures contracts, forward contracts  on

foreign  currencies and other commodity interests, it is expected

that the Partnership will continue to own such liquid assets  for

margin purposes.



The  Partnership's  investment in commodity futures  and  forward

contracts and other commodity interests may be illiquid.  If  the

price  for  the  futures contract for a particular commodity  has

increased  or decreased by an amount equal to the "daily  limit",

positions  in  the commodity can neither be taken nor  liquidated

unless traders are willing to effect trades at or within the

<PAGE>

limit.   Commodity  futures prices have  occasionally  moved  the

daily  limit  for  several consecutive days  with  little  or  no

trading.   Such  market conditions could prevent the  Partnership

from promptly liquidating its commodity futures positions.



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  and  subjecting  it  to

substantial  losses.   Either of these  market  conditions  could

result in restrictions on redemptions.



Capital  Resources. The Partnership does not have,  nor  does  it

expect  to  have, any capital assets.  Redemptions of  additional

Units in the future will impact the amount of funds available for

investments  in  commodity futures contracts and other  commodity

interests.   As  redemptions  are at the  discretion  of  Limited

Partners,  it  is  not  possible  to  estimate  the  amount   and

therefore, the impact of future redemptions.

Results of Operations

For the Quarter Ended March 31, 1997

For  the  quarter  ended March 31, 1997, the Partnership's  total

trading  revenues  including  interest  income  were  $3,342,967.

During  the first quarter, the Partnership posted a gain  in  Net

Asset  Value per Unit.  During the first quarter, the Partnership

posted  a gain in Net Asset Value per Unit.  The most significant

gains  were recorded during January and February in the  currency

markets  as  the value of the U.S. dollar increased  relative  to

most  major European currencies, as well as the Japanese yen.   A

portion  of  these  gains  was offset  by  losses  recorded  from

transactions  involving  the British  pound  during  January  and

February.   Trading  in  soft  commodities  during  January   and

February resulted in gains from long coffee futures positions  as

prices  trended  steadily higher, before reversing  lower  during

March.   Additional profits were recorded in February  and  March

from  long positions in soybean, corn and wheat futures as prices

in  these  markets  moved higher.  In global  financial  futures,

gains  were  recorded during March from short U.S. interest  rate

futures  positions  as domestic bond prices moved  sharply  lower

late  in  the  month.  These gains, coupled with smaller  profits

from trading French and Australian bond futures, more than offset

losses recorded in these same

<PAGE>

markets during January and February, and in February from trading

Japanese  bond  futures.  A portion of the Partnership's  overall

gains was offset by losses recorded in the energy markets due  to

trendless  movement  in  oil and gas prices  during  January  and

March.  Smaller losses were recorded in the metals markets during

February and March.  Total expenses for the quarter were $622,394

generating  net income of $2,720,573.  The value of an individual

Unit  in  the Partnership increased from $870.11 at December  31,

1996 to $980.28 at March 31, 1997.



For the Quarter Ended March 31, 1996

For  the  quarter  ended March 31, 1996, the Partnership's  total

trading losses net of interest income were $974,745.  During  the

first  quarter, the Partnership posted a loss in Net Asset  Value

per  Unit.   The  most  significant losses were  recorded  during

February  as  dramatic price trend reversals were experienced  in

several  key  market  sectors,  particularly  the  currency   and

financial  futures markets.  In the currency markets,  sharp  and

sudden moves higher in the value of the Japanese yen, German mark

and  Swiss  franc  resulted in losses for the  Fund's  previously

established  short  positions in these  currencies.   Trading  in

global financial futures during February resulted in additional

<PAGE>

losses  as  the previous upward trend in interest rate and  stock

index  futures prices reversed dramatically lower.  As a  result,

losses  were  recorded primarily in European  financial  futures.

Smaller  losses  were recorded in traditional commodities  during

the  quarter  as metals and soft commodities prices  moved  in  a

trendless pattern during both February and March and from trading

in  global  financial futures during March.  A portion  of  these

losses  was offset by gains recorded from currency trading during

January  as  short positions in the Japanese yen and  most  major

European currencies profited from a decline in the value of these

currencies  relative  to  the  U.S. dollar.   Additional  profits

during January were recorded from long positions in European bond

futures  as  prices moved higher.  Currency trading during  March

also  helped in offsetting losses for the quarter as transactions

involving the Japanese yen and Australian dollar were profitable.

Total  expenses for the quarter were $666,344 resulting in a  net

loss  of  $1,641,089.   The value of an individual  Unit  in  the

Partnership  decreased  from $796.35  at  December  31,  1995  to

$741.59 at March 31, 1996.

                   PART II.  OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1.   LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

On  September 6, 10, and 20, 1996, and on March 13, 1997, similar

purported class actions were filed in the Superior Court  of  the

State  of  California, County of Los Angeles, on  behalf  of  all

purchasers  of  interests in limited partnership commodity  pools

sold  by DWR.  Named defendants include DWR, Demeter, Dean Witter

Futures  &  Currency  Management, Inc.,  DWD  (all  such  parties

referred  to  hereafter  as the "Dean Witter  Parties"),  certain

limited  partnership  commodity pools of  which  Demeter  is  the

general  partner, and certain trading advisors  to  those  pools.

Similar  purported class actions were also filed on September  18

and  20, 1996 in the Supreme Court of the State of New York,  New

York  County, and on November 14, 1996 in the Superior  Court  of

the State of Delaware, New Castle County, against the Dean Witter

Parties  and certain trading advisors on behalf of all purchasers

of  interests in various limited partnership commodity pools sold

by  DWR.  Generally, these complaints allege, among other things,

that  the  defendants committed fraud, deceit, misrepresentation,

breach   of  fiduciary  duty,  fraudulent  and  unfair   business

practices,  unjust enrichment, and conversion in connection  with

the sale and operation of the various limited partnership

<PAGE>

commodity  pools.   The  complaints seek unspecified  amounts  of

compensatory  and  punitive damages  and  other  relief.   It  is

possible  that additional similar actions may be filed and  that,

in  the course of these actions, other parties could be added  as

defendants.   The  Dean  Witter Parties believe  that  they  have

strong  defenses  to,  and  they  will  vigorously  contest,  the

actions.   Although  the ultimate outcome  of  legal  proceedings

cannot  be  predicted  with  certainty,  it  is  the  opinion  of

management of the Dean Witter Parties that the resolution of  the

actions  will not have a material adverse effect on the financial

condition or the results of operations of any of the Dean  Witter

Parties.
