Investment Objective
To provide liquidity and an attractive rate of income relative to short term interest rates, to the extent consistent with the preservation of capital.
Investment Horizon

We believe that a conservative ultra-short fund offers a compelling strategy that seeks to deliver current income while maintaining a focus on preserving capital and liquidity.

Investment Process

The management team follows a multi-pronged investment process with respect to credit risk, interest rate risk and liquidity. Securities are reviewed on an ongoing basis on their ability to maintain creditworthiness taking into consideration factors such as cash flow, asset quality, debt service coverage ratios and economic developments. Additionally, exposure to guarantors and liquidity providers is monitored separately as are the various diversification requirements. The team manages the Portfolio's assets in an attempt to reduce credit or interest rate risks.

 
Fund Highlights
  • Diversified portfolio
  • Managed by the same experienced and specialized portfolio management team that manages the Morgan Stanley Liquidity funds

The value of the investments and the income from them will vary and there can be no assurance that the Fund will achieve its investment objectives.

Performance data quoted is based on average annualized returns and net of fee.

Past performance is not a reliable indicator of future results. The value of the investments and the income from them can go down as well as up and an investor may not get back the amount invested. Returns may increase or decrease as a result of currency fluctuations. Performance data for funds with less than one year's track record is not shown. Performance is calculated net of fees. YTD performance data is not annualised. Performance of other share classes, when offered, may differ. Please consider the investment objectives, risks, charges and expenses of the fund carefully before investing. The prospectus and key investor information document (KIID) contains this and other information about the fund. Please read the prospectus and KIID carefully before you invest.

Past performance should not be construed as a guarantee of future performance.  Performance of the Morgan Stanley Liquidity Funds is calculated net of fees.

It is important you read the legal information page before proceeding as it explains in which countries the Morgan Stanley Liquidity Funds are authorised for sale and where this website is directed.

1 As of 25 April 2019.

2 The Minimum Initial Investment/Minimum Subsequent Investment amounts may be in US Dollars (or the Euro or Sterling equivalent of the US Dollar amount). For more information please see the Charges and Expenses section of the prospectus.

3 May not sum to 100% due to rounding.

* The Mark to Market NAV is a calculation of the underlying aggregate value of the securities in a fund's portfolio using current market quotes or other performance metrics. It is important to note this is being provided for informational use only and investors cannot transact on the mark to market NAV. The Morgan Stanley Liquidity funds continue to operate at a stable net asset value in their distributing shares utilising amortised cost accounting.

Each Fund is authorised to invest up to 100% of its assets in Money Market Instruments issued or guaranteed separately or jointly by a Sovereign Entity and by any other member states of the OECD and their central authorities or central banks subject to certain conditions. Please see Prospectus for further details.

The Fund is not a guaranteed investment and is different from an investment in deposits. The Fund does not rely on external support for guaranteeing the liquidity of the Fund or stabilising the NAV per share. The value of investments and the income from them may go down as well as up and you may not get back the amount you originally invested.

WAM is the weighted average maturity of the portfolio. The WAM calculation utilizes the interest-rate reset date, rather than a security's stated final maturity, for variable- and floating- rate securities. By looking to a portfolio's interest rate reset schedule in lieu of final maturity dates, the WAM measure effectively captures a fund's exposure to interest rate movements and the potential price impact resulting from interest rate movements.

 

WAL is the weighted average life of the portfolio. The WAL calculation utilizes a security's stated final maturity date or, when relevant, the date of the next demand feature when the fund may receive payment of principal and interest (such as a put feature). Accordingly, WAL reflects how a portfolio would react to deteriorating credit (widening spreads) or tightening liquidity conditions.

Please be aware that liquidity instruments may be subject to certain additional risks. Fixed-income securities are subject to the ability of an issuer to make timely principal and interest payments (credit risk), changes in interest rates (interest-rate risk), the creditworthiness of the issuer and general market liquidity (market risk). In a rising interest-rate environment, bond prices may fall. In a declining interest-rate environment, the portfolio may generate less income.
