                 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, 1995 Annual Report on Form 10-K.



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 (the "General
Partner").  The commodity broker is Dean Witter Reynolds Inc.
("DWR").  Both the General Partner and DWR are wholly-owned
subsidiaries of Dean Witter, Discover & Co.   The General Partner
has retained Abacus Asset Management Inc., ELM Financial, Inc., EMC
Capital Management, Inc., and Millburn Ridgefield Corporation as
the trading advisors of the Partnership.


2.  Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Effective September 1, 1996, maximum total brokerage commissions
and transaction fees chargeable to the Partnership are capped at
 .65% per month of adjusted Net Assets as defined in the Limited
Partnership Agreement.

                  NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)

3.  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.


4.  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 September 30, 1996, open contracts were:
                                                                  
                                          Contract or
                                        Notional Amount
                                               $
Exchange-Traded Contracts
 Financial Futures:              
   Commitments to Purchase                48,208,000

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 net 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 $2,269,755 at
September 30, 1996.  Of this amount, $2,187,370 related to
exchange-traded futures contracts and $82,385 related to off-
exchange-traded forward currency contracts.

Exchange-traded futures contracts held by the Partnership at
September 30, 1996 mature through June 1997.  Off-exchange-traded
forward currency contracts held by the Partnership at September 30,
1996 mature through October 1996.  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.

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



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 contracts, which funds totaled $19,904,362
at September 30, 1996.   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
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.

value of financial instruments held for trading purposes was as

5.  Legal Matters
On September 6, 10, and 20, 1996, 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, the General Partner, Dean Witter Futures and Currency
Management Inc., Dean Witter, Discover & Co. (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.  Also, on
September 18 and 20, 1996 similar purported class actions were
filed in the Supreme Court of the State of New York, New York
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.  
<PAGE>
             DEAN WITTER GLOBAL PERSPECTIVE PORTFOLIO FUND
                NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONCLUDED)



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 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.

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 and 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 and options contracts and 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 of 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 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.
<PAGE>
There is no limitation on daily price moves in trading forward
contracts on foreign currency.  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.

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 and forward 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 and Nine Months Ended September 30, 1996
For the quarter ended September 30, 1996, the Partnership's total
trading revenues including interest income were $1,006,308.  During
the third quarter, the Partnership posted an increase in Net Asset
Value per Unit.  The most significant trading gains were recorded
in the financial futures markets from long European, Australian and
Japanese bond futures positions as international interest rate
futures prices moved higher between July and September.  Additional
gains were recorded in the energy markets from long positions in
crude and heating oil futures as oil prices trended higher 
<PAGE>
throughout the quarter.  A portion of the overall gains for the
quarter was offset by losses in the currency markets from short
Swiss franc positions as its value increased relative to the U.S.
dollar and other world currencies during July.  Additional losses
were experienced in soft commodities as a result of trendless
movement in coffee and cotton prices throughout a majority of the
quarter.  In the agricultural markets, losses were experienced as
soybean and corn futures prices moved in an inconsistent pattern
during the quarter.  Total expenses for the quarter were $638,401,
resulting in net income of $367,907.  The value of an individual 
Unit in the Partnership increased from $752.69 at June 30, 1996 to
$766.90 at September 30, 1996.

For the nine months ended September 30, 1996, the Partnership's
total trading revenues including interest income were $1,048,852. 
During the first nine months of the year, the Partnership posted a
decrease in Net Asset Value per Unit.  Trading gains during the
first nine months of the year were offset by brokerage commissions
resulting in a net loss.  The most significant losses were recorded
in the financial futures markets.  These losses recorded during the
first six months of the year in global interest rate and stock
index futures more than offset gains recorded during the third
quarter from long positions in international bond futures. 
Additional losses were recorded in the soft commodities markets as
a result of choppy price movement in coffee and sugar futures
during a majority of the first nine months of the year.  A majority
of overall losses for the year was offset by gains from long
heating, crude and gas oil futures positions as oil prices moved 
<PAGE>
significantly higher during the third quarter.  Gains were also
recorded in the currency markets from transactions involving the 
Japanese yen throughout a majority of the first nine months of the
year.  Additionally, profits recorded from long wheat and corn
futures positions during the second quarter more than offset losses
in these same markets recorded during the third quarter.  Total
expenses for the period were $1,980,493, resulting in a net loss of
$931,641.  The value of an individual Unit in the Partnership
decreased from $796.35 at December 31, 1995 to $766.90 at September
30, 1996.

For the Quarter and Nine Months Ended September 30, 1995
For the quarter ended September 30, 1995, the Partnership's total
trading losses net of interest income were $1,363,361.  During the
third quarter, the Partnership posted a decrease in Net Asset Value
per Unit.  The most significant trading losses resulted from
trading in global interest rate futures, metals and energies, as
trendless price movement prevailed across a majority of the markets
in each of these sectors for much of the third quarter.  Smaller
losses were recorded in soft commodities and agricultural futures
trading as a result of price break-outs followed by choppy and
short-term volatile movement.  Trading profits in the currencies
sector, primarily as a result of a  declining  trend in the  value
of the  Japanese yen relative to the U.S. dollar, helped to offset
a portion of losses in other sectors.  Total expenses for the
quarter were $774,866 resulting in net a loss of $2,138,227.  The
value of an individual Unit in the Partnership decreased from
$847.25 at June 30, 1995 to $788.72 at September 30, 1995.

For the nine months ended September 30, 1995, the Partnership's
total trading revenues including interest income were $6,848,607. 
During the first nine months of the year, the Partnership posted an
increase in Net Asset Value per Unit.  The most significant profits
for this period resulted from trading in global interest rate
futures, as prices in U.S. and Japanese bond futures contracts
trended higher in the first half of 1995, and in currencies,
primarily as a result of trending movement in the value of the
Japanese yen throughout the first nine months of the year and in
major European currencies in the year's first quarter.  Additional
profits were recorded from trading in stock index futures as U.S.
stock prices trended higher.  Losses across a majority of domestic
commodities, including agriculturals, metals and soft commodities,
resulting from trendless price movement for much of 1995, offset a
portion of the profits in other sectors.  Total expenses for the 
period  were $2,489,779,  resulting in net  income of $4,358,828. 
 The value of an individual Unit in the Partnership increased from
$682.05 at December 31, 1994 to $788.72 at September 30, 1995.
