PART I





Item 1.  BUSINESS





(a)  General Development of Business.  Morgan Stanley Smith Barney Charter Aspect L.P. (the “Partnership”) is a Delaware limited partnership organized in 1993 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.  The Partnership commenced trading operations on March 3, 1994.  The Partnership is one of the Morgan Stanley Smith Barney Charter series of funds, comprised of the Partnership, Morgan Stanley Smith Barney Charter WNT L.P. (“Charter WNT”), and Morgan Stanley Smith Barney Charter Campbell L.P. (“Charter Campbell”) (collectively, the “Charter Series”).  Effective May 1, 2006, Charter Campbell no longer accepts subscriptions and exchanges of units of limited partnership interest (“Unit(s)”) from any other Charter Series for Units of Charter Campbell.  Effective December 1, 2008, the Partnership no longer accepts subscriptions or exchanges of Units from any other Charter Series for Units of the Partnership.





Prior to August 23, 2010, the Charter Series was comprised of the Partnership, Charter WNT, Charter Campbell, and Managed Futures Charter Graham L.P. (formerly, Morgan Stanley Smith Barney Charter Graham L.P.).





The Partnership’s general partner is Ceres Managed Futures LLC (“Ceres” or the “General Partner”).  The non-clearing commodity broker is Morgan Stanley Smith Barney LLC (“MSSB”) as of May 1, 2010.  The clearing commodity brokers are Morgan Stanley & Co. Incorporated (“MS&Co.”) and





- 2 -





Morgan Stanley & Co. International plc (“MSIP”).  MS&Co. also acts as the counterparty on all trading of foreign currency forward contracts.  MSIP serves as the commodity broker for trades on the London Metal Exchange.  Ceres is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Morgan Stanley Smith Barney Holdings LLC (“MSSBH”).  MSSBH is majority-owned indirectly by Morgan Stanley and minority-owned indirectly by Citigroup Inc. (“Citigroup”).  MSSB is the principal subsidiary of MSSBH.  MS&Co. and MSIP, are wholly-owned subsidiaries of Morgan Stanley.  Aspect Capital Limited (the “Trading Advisor”) is the trading advisor to the Partnership.





Prior to December 1, 2010, the Partnership’s general partner was Demeter Management LLC (“Demeter”).  Demeter was a wholly-owned subsidiary of MSSBH.





In 2009, Morgan Stanley and Citigroup combined certain assets of the Global Wealth Management Group of MS&Co., including Demeter, and the Smith Barney division of Citigroup Global Markets Inc. into a new joint venture, MSSBH.  Since their contribution to the joint venture, Demeter and Ceres, the commodity pool operator for various legacy Citigroup sponsored commodity pools, have worked closely together to align the operations and management of the commodity pools they oversee.





As a result, MSSBH, together with the unanimous support of the respective Boards of Directors of Demeter and Ceres, has determined that a combination of the assets and operations of Demeter and Ceres into a single commodity pool operator, Ceres, is in the best interest of the limited partners and believes that this combination will achieve the intended benefits of the joint venture.  The effective date of the combination was December 1, 2010.





- 3 -







On July 28, 2010, the Partnership received a settlement award payment in the amount of $40,052 from the Natural Gas commodity Litigation Settlement Administration.  This settlement represents the Partnership’s portion of the 2006 Net Settlement Fund and the 2007 Net Settlement Fund.  The proceeds from settlement was accounted for in the period it was received for the benefit of the partners in the Partnership.





After the Charter Series’ November 30, 2008 monthly close, Demeter (Ceres, effective December 1, 2010) no longer offers for purchase or exchange Units in the Charter Series.





The Partnership began the year at a net asset value per Unit of $18.78 and returned 10.3% to $20.71 per Unit on December 31, 2010.  For a more detailed description of the Partnership's business, see    subparagraph (c).





(b) Financial Information about Segments.  For financial information reporting purposes, the Partnership is deemed to engage in one industry segment, the speculative trading of futures, forwards


and options on such contracts.  The relevant financial information is presented in Items 6 and 8.





(c)  Narrative Description of Business.  The Partnership is in the business of speculative trading of futures, forwards and options pursuant


to trading instructions provided by the Trading Advisor.  For a detailed description of the different facets of the Partnership's business,


see those portions of the Partnership's prospectus, dated May 1, 2008 (the “Prospectus”), and the Partnership’s supplement to the


Prospectus dated September 17, 2008 (the “Supplement”), incorporated by reference in this Form 10-K, set forth below.

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





Liquidity.  The Partnership deposits its assets with MSSB as non-clearing commodity broker and MS&Co. and MSIP as clearing commodity brokers in separate futures, forward and options trading accounts established for the 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 (Ceres, effective December 1, 2010) no longer accepts any subscriptions for Units of the Partnership or any exchanges in from other Charter 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 Advisor and the ability of the 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, 2010 and a general discussion of its trading activities during each period.  It is important to note, however, that the Trading Advisor trades 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 Advisor 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 Advisor’s 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 accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. 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








- 12 -





foreign currency forward contract is based on the spot rate as of approximately 3:00 P.M. (E.T.), the close of the business day.  Interest income, as well as management fees, incentive fees, and brokerage fees of the Partnership are recorded on an accrual basis.





Ceres (Demeter, prior to December 1, 2010) 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 $19,657,587 and expenses totaling $8,723,441, resulting in net income of $10,934,146 for the year ended December 31, 2010.  The Partnership’s net asset value per Unit increased from $18.72 at December 31, 2009, to $20.71 at December 31, 2010.  Total redemptions for the year were $16,978,731, and the Partnership’s ending capital was $107,069,145 at December 31, 2010, a decrease of $6,044,585 from ending capital at December 31, 2009, of $113,113,730.





The most significant trading gains were achieved within the global interest rate sector throughout the majority of the first nine months of the year from long positions in U.S., European, and Japanese fixed-income futures. In this sector, prices increased during the first quarter on concerns that lending restrictions in China, possible reductions in U.S. stimulus measures, and Greece’s fiscal struggles might stifle the global economic rebound. Prices were then pressured higher during the second quarter amid an unexpected drop in U.S. consumer confidence, increased regulatory scrutiny of the financial industry, and the growing





- 13 -







European debt crisis. During the third quarter, prices continued to climb higher due to concern that European governments may struggle to repay their debt and amid worries over the global economy. In the currency sector, gains were recorded primarily during February, March, and April from short positions in the euro versus the U.S. dollar, Swedish krona, and Norwegian krone as the value of the euro moved lower against most of its rivals on growing concerns that Greece’s mounting debt burden might spread to other European nations. In September, gains in this sector were experienced from long positions in the Australian dollar versus the U.S. dollar as the value of the Australian dollar appreciated to a 26-month high against the U.S. dollar amid speculation that the Reserve Bank of Australia may raise interest rates in October. Meanwhile, gains were recorded in October due to long positions in the Japanese yen, Australian dollar, and New Zealand dollar versus the U.S. dollar as the value of the U.S. dollar fell against these currencies after a report revealed U.S. private-sector employment unexpectedly dropped in September, fueling worries that the U.S. Federal Reserve will undertake additional quantitative easing. Additional currency gains were experienced during December from long positions in the Australian dollar, Swiss franc, and Canadian dollar versus the U.S. dollar as the value of the U.S. dollar declined after better-than-expected U.S. economic data diminished demand for the U.S. dollar as a “safe haven” currency. Within the agricultural complex, gains were experienced primarily during September from long positions in cotton futures as prices increased on signs that global demand may outpace limited supplies. In October, gains in this sector were achieved from long futures positions in the soybean complex and corn as prices increased after the U.S. Department of Agriculture said domestic and world supplies of these crops would be smaller than forecast. Meanwhile, long positions in sugar futures resulted in additional gains during October as prices rose amid worries that dry weather and port delays would curb shipments from Brazil, the world’s biggest





- 14 -







producer of sugar. During December, long positions in coffee futures resulted in gains as prices rose to a 13-year high amid mounting concern that global supplies may trail demand due to adverse weather in Brazil, India, and Vietnam. Within the metals sector, gains were recorded primarily during September, October, and December from long positions in silver and gold futures as prices rose amid increased demand for the precious metals due to a drop in the value of the U.S. dollar, with silver futures rallying to a 30-year high and gold prices reaching a new all-time high in October. During December, long positions in copper futures achieved gains as prices reached an all-time high following strong Chinese import data and news of supply interruptions at a major Chilean copper mine. A portion of the Partnership’s gains for the year was offset by losses incurred within the energy sector, primarily during January, May, and June, from long futures positions in crude oil and its related products as prices moved lower due to reports of increased U.S. inventories, speculation that China’s energy demand may ease, and worries that Europe’s debt troubles might impede global energy demand. Short positions in natural gas futures resulted in additional losses in the energy markets as prices reversed higher during the first half of May after a U.S. government report showed that stockpiles grew less than forecast. Further losses were incurred in September due to short futures positions in crude oil and its related products as prices rose after positive economic indicators restored confidence that the global economic recovery may stimulate energy demand. Within the global stock index sector, losses were experienced primarily during January and May from long positions in U.S., European, and Pacific Rim equity index futures. During January, long positions in U.S., European, and Pacific Rim equity index futures resulted in losses as prices reversed lower due to disappointing U.S. corporate earnings reports, concerns regarding U.S. President Barack Obama’s proposed limits on risk-taking by banks, and speculation that China might raise interest rates. During May, long positions in U.S.





- 15 -







European, and Pacific Rim equity index futures resulted in losses as prices fell on worries regarding Greece’s sovereign debt crisis and uncertainty regarding policy actions in Europe. In July, newly established short positions in European and U.S. equity index futures resulted in losses as prices were pressured higher amid unexpected growth in Europe’s manufacturing and service industries, rising U.K. retail sales, and positive U.S. corporate earnings reports.





The Partnership recorded total trading results including interest income totaling $(14,056,441) and expenses totaling $10,916,782, resulting in a net loss of $24,973,223 for the year ended December 31, 2009.  The Partnership’s net asset value per Unit decreased from $22.48 at December 31, 2008, to $18.72 at December 31, 2009.  Total redemptions for the year were $34,075,995, and the Partnership’s ending capital was $113,113,730 at December 31, 2009, a decrease of $59,049,218 from ending capital at December 31, 2008, of $172,162,948.





The most significant trading losses of approximately 5.0% were incurred within the energy markets, primarily during March, May, June, July, and September from short futures positions in crude oil and its related products as prices increased on optimism that a possible rebound in global economic growth might boost energy demand.  Newly established long futures positions in crude oil and its related products resulted in losses during October and December as prices declined after government reports showed a drop in U.S. consumer spending and a rise in U.S. inventories.   Within the global interest rate sector, losses of approximately 3.4% were experienced primarily during January, June, October, and December.  During


January, losses were recorded from long positions in U.S. fixed-income futures as prices declined





- 16 -







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 June from long positions in U.S. and Australian fixed-income futures as prices moved lower amid rising investor confidence, which reduced demand for the relative “safety” of government bonds.  Meanwhile, short positions in Japanese fixed-income futures resulted in losses as prices increased during the second half of June after the Bank of Japan indicated that it remained cautious about the Japanese economy.  Further losses were experienced during October and December from long positions in U.S. fixed-income futures as prices decreased on concerns that an unprecedented supply of government debt might outweigh demand, as well as on forecasts that the U.S. economy would expand in 2010, thereby reducing demand for the relative “safety” of government bonds.  Within the currency sector, losses of approximately 3.2% were recorded primarily during March, April, May, and July from short positions in the euro and British pound versus the U.S. dollar as the value of the U.S. dollar moved lower against most of its rivals after improving global economic data reduced demand for the U.S. dollar as a “safe haven” currency.  Additional losses were incurred from long positions in the Japanese yen versus the U.S. dollar, primarily during June, as the value of the Japanese yen reversed lower relative to the U.S. dollar amid pessimism regarding the future growth of the Japanese economy.  During October, short positions in the British pound versus the U.S. dollar resulted in further losses as the value of the British pound increased relative to the U.S. dollar amid better-than-expected economic data out of the United Kingdom.  Further losses were experienced during December from long positions in the Japanese yen versus the U.S. dollar as the value of the U.S. dollar reversed higher against most of its major rivals on speculation that the U.S. Federal Reserve might raise interest rates earlier than expected in the wake of recent positive economic data.  A portion of the





- 17 -







Partnership’s losses for the year was offset by gains of approximately 1.3% achieved within the global stock index sector, primarily during January, February, May, June, August, September, November, and December.  During January and February, short positions in European and Pacific Rim equity index futures resulted in gains as prices dropped on concerns that financial firms might need to raise additional capital and on a continued slowdown in global economic growth.  Additional gains were recorded during June from short positions in European equity index futures as prices declined on speculation that a recent rally in the European equity index markets might have outpaced the prospects for corporate earnings growth.  During August and September, gains were experienced from newly established long positions in U.S., European, and Pacific Rim equity index futures as prices rose due to positive economic data and increased merger and acquisition activity in the technology sector.  Further gains were achieved during November and December following a pledge from the Group of 20 leaders to maintain stimulus measures, as well as fundamental signs that the global economy might be recovering.  Within the metals markets, gains of approximately 0.5% were recorded throughout a majority of the last six months of the year from long futures positions in gold as prices moved higher amid a decline in the value of the U.S. dollar.  Additional gains were experienced from long positions in copper and zinc futures as prices rose during the third quarter following news that China’s economy expanded during the second quarter of 2009 and Chinese manufacturing jumped in July, thereby spurring speculation that demand for base metals might rise.  Further gains were recorded during November from existing long positions as copper and zinc futures prices were pressured higher due to reports that showed U.S. retail sales rose more than expected and Japan’s third-quarter economic expansion was the fastest in two years.  Smaller gains of approximately 0.3% were achieved in the agricultural sector, primarily during June, August, and December, from long

positions in sugar futures.  Prices moved higher in June amid expectations of a drop in global production.  During August, sugar prices moved sharply higher at the beginning of the month following reports of damaged crops in India and reduced yields in Brazil.  Prices continued to climb in August and again in December, reaching a 28-year high, on deepening concerns that unfavorable weather in producing countries and rising import demand might worsen the global supply shortfall.





The Partnership recorded total trading results including interest income totaling $55,029,144 and expenses totaling $19,222,862, resulting in net income of $35,806,282 for the year ended December 31, 2008.  The Partnership’s net asset value per Unit increased from $18.14 at December 31, 2007, to $22.48 at December 31, 2008. Total redemptions and subscriptions for the year were $51,646,448 and $52,271,053, respectively, and the Partnership’s ending capital was $172,162,948 at December 31, 2008, an increase of $36,430,887 from ending capital at December 31, 2007, of $135,732,061.





The most significant trading gains of approximately 16.5% were recorded within the global interest rate sector, primarily during January and February, from long positions in U.S., Australian, and Japanese fixed-income futures as prices moved higher in a worldwide “flight-to-quality” following a sharp drop in the global equity markets and concerns that a possible economic recession in the United States would weaken the global economy.  Additionally, U.S. fixed-income futures prices moved higher as the U.S. Federal Reserve cut interest rates by 200 basis points throughout the first quarter


amid slowing economic growth.  During May and June, short positions in European interest rate futures resulted in gains as prices declined after government reports revealed accelerating inflation and

better-than-expected economic growth in the Euro-Zone.  Further gains were experienced from August through December from long positions in U.S., European, Australian, and Japanese fixed-income futures as prices sharply increased during the second half of the year in a continuation of the aforementioned “flight-to-quality,” as well as worries regarding the fundamental health of the global economy and financial system.  Lastly, U.S. interest rate futures prices moved higher as the U.S. Federal Reserve cut interest rates to an unprecedented target range of 0% to 0.25%, while prices of European, Japanese, and Australian fixed-income futures increased after these respective central banks lowered borrowing costs in an attempt to stimulate economic growth.  Within the global stock index sector, gains of approximately 8.1% were recorded primarily throughout a majority of the first half of the year from short positions in U.S., European, and Pacific Rim equity index futures as prices decreased on concerns that a persistent U.S. housing slump, mounting losses linked to U.S. sub-prime mortgage investments, rising commodity prices, and a weakening job market would restrain consumer spending, erode corporate earnings, and curb global economic growth.  Additional gains were recorded from short futures positions in these markets during September, October, and November as prices dropped sharply amid unprecedented U.S. financial market turmoil and growing concerns that efforts by central banks and governments around the world to support the financial system would not prevent a global recession. Within the energy markets, gains of approximately 5.2% were experienced primarily during a majority of the first half of 2008 from long futures positions in crude oil and its related products as prices moved consistently higher due to speculation that OPEC would 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 would erode energy demand.  Within the metals markets, gains of approximately 5.0% were experienced primarily during January and February from long positions in silver and platinum futures as prices increased due to a decline in the value of the U.S. dollar during the first quarter.  Elsewhere, short futures positions in aluminum, copper, zinc, and nickel resulted in gains as prices decreased during September, October, November, and December amid ongoing worries that a global economic recession would erode demand for base metals.  Additional gains of approximately 1.6% were recorded within the agricultural markets, primarily during January, February, and June, from long positions in cocoa futures as prices rose amid supply disruptions in the Ivory Coast, the world’s largest producer of cocoa.  Additional gains were recorded from short positions in lean hog and live cattle futures as prices declined during June and October on signs of rising inventories in the U.S. and slowing global demand.  Smaller gains were recorded from long futures positions in soybeans and soybean oil as prices increased during the first half of the year following news that global production might drop, rising energy prices might boost demand for alternative biofuels made from ethanol, and severe floods in the U.S. Midwest had damaged crops.  A portion of the Partnership’s gains for the year was offset by losses of approximately 2.4% incurred within the currency sector from long positions in the euro, Australian dollar, South African rand, and Canadian dollar versus the U.S. dollar as the value of the U.S. dollar reversed higher against these currencies in April after the U.S. Institute for Supply Management’s manufacturing index unexpectedly moved higher, and a U.S. economic report showed private sector jobs unexpectedly increased in March.  Further losses were recorded during August and September from short positions

in the U.S. dollar versus these currencies 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.





For an analysis of unrealized gains and (losses) by contract type and a further description of 2010 trading results, refer to the Partnership’s Annual Report to Limited Partners for the year ended December 31, 2010, 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 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 Advisor was 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.


- 22 -







In addition to the Trading Advisor’s internal controls, the Trading Advisor must comply with the Partnership’s trading policies that include standards for liquidity and leverage that must be maintained.  The Trading Advisor and Ceres (Demeter, prior to December 1, 2010) monitor the Partnership's trading activities to ensure compliance with the trading policies and Ceres (Demeter, prior to December 1, 2010) can require the Trading Advisor to modify positions of the Partnership if Ceres (Demeter, prior to December 1, 2010) 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 Ceres (Demeter, prior to December 1, 2010) 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.





- 23 -







Ceres (Demeter, prior to December 1, 2010) deals with these credit risks of the Partnership in several ways.  First, Ceres (Demeter, prior to December 1, 2010) 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 Ceres (Demeter, prior to December 1, 2010) 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, Ceres (Demeter, prior to December 1, 2010) 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 contract trading, the Partnership trades with only those counterparties which Ceres (Demeter, prior to December 1, 2010), 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.

For additional information, see the “Financial Instruments” section under “Notes to Financial Statements” in the Partnership’s Annual Report to Limited Partners for the year ended December 31, 2010, which is incorporated by reference to Exhibit 13.01 of this Form 10-K.





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





Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures.


Financial instruments are carried at fair value, which is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants.  Assets and liabilities carried at fair value are classified and disclosed in the following 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 market prices for similar investments, interest rates, and 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.

Derivatives and Hedging
 The Partnership’s objective is to profit from speculative trading in Futures Interests.  Therefore, the Trading Advisor 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 average number of contracts outstanding in absolute quantities (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 tables summarize the valuation of the Partnership’s investments as required by the disclosures about Derivatives and Hedging as of December 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively.

 Improving Disclosures about Fair Value Measurements
 In January 2010, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued accounting guidance under the FASB Accounting Standards Codification(“ASC” or the “Codification”), which, among other things, amends fair value measurements and disclosures 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 regarding the level of disaggregation and the inputs and valuation techniques
 
 - 29 -
  used to measure fair value for measurements that fall within either Level 2 or Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.  This guidance 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 fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2010 and for interim periods within those fiscal years.  The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on the Partnership’s financial statements.
 
 Subsequent Events
 Management of Ceres (“Management”) performed its evaluation of subsequent events and has determined that there were no subsequent events requiring adjustment or disclosure in the financial statements.
 
 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 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 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
 
 - 30 -
  
 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 forwards, and exchange-traded futures-styled options contracts are settled daily through variation margin.  Gains and losses on off-exchange-traded forward currency contracts and forward currency options contracts are settled upon termination of the contract.  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 MSSB for the benefit of 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.
 
 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.
 
 
 
 
 - 31 -
  
 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.
 
 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.
 
 
 
 - 32 -
  
 The Partnership’s risk exposure in the market sectors traded by the Trading Advisor 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.  Ceres (Demeter, prior to December 1, 2010) 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 Ceres’ (Demeter’s, prior to December 1, 2010) simulated profit and loss series.
 
 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.
 
 
 - 33 -
  
 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 Ceres (Demeter, prior to December 1, 2010) or the Trading Advisor 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, 2010 and 2009.  At December 31, 2010 and 2009, the Partnership’s total capitalization was approximately $107 million and $113 million, respectively.

 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 on such contracts, 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, 2010 and 2009 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, 2010 through December 31, 2010 and January 1, 2009 through December 31, 2009, 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.
 - 36 -
  
 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, 2010 and 2009, and for the four quarter-end reporting periods during calendar years 2010 and 2009. 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 not needed for margin.  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 MSSB; as of December 31, 2010, such amount is equal to approximately 92% 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.
 
 
 
 - 37 -
  
 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 Ceres (Demeter, prior to December 1, 2010) and the Trading Advisor 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.
 
 
 
 - 38 -
  
 The Trading Advisor, in general, tends to utilize trading system(s) to take positions when market opportunities develop, and Ceres (Demeter, prior to December 1, 2010) anticipates that the Trading Advisor will continue to do so.
 
 The following were the primary trading risk exposures of the Partnership as of December 31, 2010, by market sector. It may be anticipated, however, that these market exposures will vary materially over time.
 
 Stock Indices.  The Partnership’s primary equity exposure is to equity price risk in the G-8 countries. The G-8 countries consist of Canada, the Russian Federation, France, Germany, Japan, Italy, the United Kingdom, and the U.S.  The stock index futures traded by the Partnership are limited to futures on broadly based indices. As of December 31, 2010, the Partnership’s primary exposures were in the FTSE 100 (U.K.), S&P 500 (U.S.), and OMX 30 (Sweden) stock indices. The Partnership is primarily exposed to the risk of adverse price trends or static markets in the major U.S., European, and Asian indices. (Static markets would not cause major market changes but would make it difficult for the Partnership to avoid being “whipsawed” into numerous small losses.)
 
 Currencies.  The Partnership’s currency exposure is to exchange rate fluctuations, primarily fluctuations which disrupt the historical pricing relationships between different currencies and currency pairs. These fluctuations are influenced by interest rate changes, as well as political and general economic conditions.  Ceres does not anticipate that the risk profile of the Partnership’s currency sector will change significantly in the future.
 - 39 -
  
 Interest Rates.  Interest rate movements directly affect the price of the futures positions held by the Partnership and indirectly the value of its stock index and currency positions. Interest rate movements in one country as well as relative interest rate movements between countries materially impact the Partnership’s profitability. The Partnership’s primary interest rate exposure is to interest rate fluctuations in the U.S. and other G-8 countries. However, the Partnership also takes futures positions on the government debt of smaller nations – e.g., Australia.
 
 Commodity.
 Energy.  The Partnership’s primary energy market exposure is to oil and natural gas price movements, often resulting from political developments in the Middle East and weather conditions. Energy prices can be volatile and substantial profits and losses have been experienced and are expected to continue in this market.
 
 Metals.  The Partnership’s primary metal market exposure is to fluctuations in the price of gold, silver, and copper.
 
 Softs.  The Partnership’s trading risk exposure in soft commodities is primarily to agricultural-related price movements which are often directly affected by severe or unexpected weather conditions. Coffee and sugar accounted for the majority of the Partnership’s soft commodity exposure as of December 31, 2010.
 
 
 - 40 -
  
 Grains.  The Partnership’s trading risk exposure in grains is primarily to agricultural-related price movements which are often directly affected by severe or unexpected weather conditions. The soybean complex and corn accounted for the majority of the Partnership’s grain exposure as of December 31, 2010.
 
 Qualitative Disclosures Regarding Means of Managing Risk Exposure
 The Partnership and the Trading Advisor, separately, attempt to manage the risk of the Partnership’s open positions in essentially the same manner in all market categories traded.  Ceres (Demeter, prior to
 December 1, 2010) attempts to manage market exposure by diversifying the Partnership’s assets among different market sectors through the selection of a Commodity Trading Advisor and by daily monitoring its performance.  In addition, the Trading Advisor establishes diversification guidelines, often set in terms of the maximum margin to be committed to positions in any one market sector or market-sensitive instrument.
 
 Ceres (Demeter, prior to December 1, 2010) monitors and controls the risk of the Partnership’s non-trading instrument, cash.  Cash is the only Partnership investment directed by Ceres (Demeter, prior to December 1, 2010), rather than the Trading Advisor.

 Item 9A.  CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
 As of the end of the period covered by this annual report, the President and Chief Financial Officer of Ceres 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
 Ceres (Demeter, prior to December 1, 2010) is responsible for the management of the Partnership.
 - 42 -
  
 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;
 
 ·
Provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP, and that the Partnership’s transactions are being made only in accordance with authorizations of Management and directors of Ceres (Demeter, prior to December 1, 2010); 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
 
 - 43 -
  
 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, 2010.  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, 2010.
 
 Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
 There have been no material 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.
