3 MSIF GLOBAL INFRASTRUCTURE PORTFOLIO An investment in global listed infrastructure securities can offer a wide range of benefits, which include exposure to a growing asset class with historically favorable risk/return characteristics, little overlap to the broader equity markets and a hedge against inflation. In today s market environment, consider an allocation to Morgan Stanley Institutional Fund (MSIF) Global Infrastructure Portfolio. Infrastructure is the backbone of society. It is the energy, transportation, communication and similar networks essential to a modern economy. As an asset class, it consists of long-lived, real assets of typically monopolistic enterprises with high barriers to entry and with consistently strong demand attractive inherent characteristics that create unique investment opportunities. Global infrastructure is a growing asset class that offers historically broadbased diversification, lower volatility and the potential to outperform equities, and we believe our value approach is well suited to delivering compelling returns over the long term. 3 Reasons to Consider Growing asset class that offers broad-based diversification Improved portfolio efficiency Proven infrastructure value investor Symbols Class A Class C Class I Class IS Fund Snapshot 1 Fund Inception September 20, 2010 MTIPX MSGTX MTIIX MSGPX Benchmark Dow Jones Brookfield Global Infrastructure Index 2 Number of Holdings Annual Turnover (%) Year Beta (vs. benchmark) % 3 Year Sharpe Ratio % 1 Data as of December 31, Dow Jones Brookfield Global Infrastructure Index is a free float-adjusted market capitalization weighted index that measures the stock performance of companies that exhibit strong infrastructure characteristics.

4 MSIF GLOBAL INFRASTRUCTURE PORTFOLIO 1 Growing asset class that offers broad-based diversification 4 The OECD expects global infrastructure investment needs to total $53 trillion from , 5 driven by powerful structural forces worldwide. In the developed markets, decades of underinvestment in infrastructure have left aging transportation, communication and energy networks in critical need of repair and upgrades while demand continues to evolve. Meanwhile, in the emerging markets, infrastructure has not kept pace with population growth, urbanization, rising standards of living and rapid growth in international trade. The result is a bottleneck that demands a significant build-out of new infrastructure. A world that is constantly growing and changing keeps demand high for these semi-permanent assets that are so essential to our economic and social existence. Defining global infrastructure Comprised of the hard assets, structures and facilities on which a society runs, infrastructure is the framework for modern economic activity. Energy Transportation Utilities Telecommunications Pipeline Companies Oil & Gas Midstream (Natural Gas Gathering, Processing, Storage, Fractionation, Transportation & Marketing Services) Airports Toll Roads Ports Railroads Electricity Transmission & Distribution Natural Gas Distribution Water Renewables Wireless Towers Fixed Orbit Satellite Operators 4 Diversification neither assures a profit nor guarantees against loss in a declining market. 5 Source: Strategic Transport Infrastructure Needs to 2030, OECD

5 MSIF GLOBAL INFRASTRUCTURE PORTFOLIO 2 Improved portfolio efficiency Infrastructure assets have a history of upside participation and capital preservation relative to global equities, typically providing a strong defense during economic contractions. The essential nature of their services keeps demand strong while their monopolistic, regulated and often inflation-protected business models keep cash flows stable and balance sheets healthy. As a result, infrastructure stocks may offer not only attractive risk-adjusted returns, but also a hedge against inflation, low correlation to broad asset classes and diversification that improves overall portfolio efficiency. These gains are reflected in the table below, where adding infrastructure to the equity portion of a portfolio divided 60/40 between stocks and bonds has resulted in a higher Sharpe ratio, or higher return per unit of risk.

Past Performance is not indicative of future results. The information shown herein is provided for illustrative purposes only and not representative of any Morgan Stanley product or strategy.

Equity securities are more volatile than bonds and subject to greater risks. Bonds are subject to interest-rate, price and credit risks. Prices tend to be inversely affected by changes in interest rates. Companies within the infrastructure industry are subject to a variety of factors that may adversely affect their business or operations. Investments in foreign markets entail special risks such as currency, political, economic, and market risks. The risks of investing in emerging markets are greater than the risks generally associated with foreign investments. 3

6 MSIF GLOBAL INFRASTRUCTURE PORTFOLIO 3 Proven infrastructure value investor Among these companies, we look for value. We believe that over the long term, the performance of infrastructure stocks will be most highly correlated with the underlying value of their assets, and we use proprietary bottom-up driven research to target stocks trading at a discount relative to their underlying assets and growth prospects. The result of this highly targeted, low-turnover approach is a portfolio that relative to its peers has delivered compelling returns, with lower volatility, and provided better capital preservation on the downside.

8 FOR FINANCIAL PROFESSIONAL USE ONLY AND MAY NOT BE USED WITH THE GENERAL PUBLIC. RISK/RETURN DEFINITIONS Sharpe Ratio is a risk-adjusted measure calculated as the ratio of excess return to standard deviation. The Sharpe ratio determines reward per unit of risk. The higher the Sharpe ratio, the better the historical risk-adjusted performance. Standard Deviation measures how widely individual performance returns, within a performance series, are dispersed from the average or mean value. Beta is a measure of the volatility, or systematic risk, of a security or a portfolio in comparison to the market as a whole. Upside Capture is a statistical measure of an investment manager s overall performance in up-markets. Downside Capture is a statistical measure of an investment manager s overall performance in down-markets. Annual turnover measures the percentage of securities within the portfolio that have changed since the beginning of the portfolio s fiscal year. Dow Jones Brookfield Global Infrastructure Index is a free float-adjusted market capitalization weighted index that measures the stock performance of companies that exhibit strong infrastructure characteristics. The Index intends to measure all sectors of the infrastructure market. The Standard & Poor s Global BMI Index is a broad market index designed to capture exposure to equities in all countries in the world that meet minimum size and liquidity requirements. The index includes developed and emerging market countries. Barclays Global Aggregate Index provides a broad-based measure of the global investment grade fixed-rate debt markets. Total Returns shown in unhedged USD. The indexes are unmanaged and returns do not include any sales charges or fees. Such costs would lower performance. It is not possible to invest directly in an index. BACK-TESTED DISCLOSURE: Source: Standard & Poors as of December 31, The back-test calculations are based on the same methodology that was in effect when the index was officially launched. Complete index methodology details are available at The backtested results are generated with the benefit of hindsight. No representation is being made that any portfolio or strategy will or is likely to achieve similar results to those being shown. While backtested results reflect the application of the methodology, they are inherently limited by the fact that they do not represent actual trading results or the performance of an actual portfolio. S&P Dow Jones Indices LLC maintains the Index and calculates the Index levels and performance shown or discussed, but does not manage actual assets. Index returns do not reflect payment of any sales charges or fees an investor may pay. The imposition of these fees and charges would cause actual and back-tested performance to be lower. RISK CONSIDERATIONS: There is no assurance that a portfolio will achieve its investment objective. Portfolios are subject to market risk, which is the possibility that the market values of securities owned by the portfolio will decline. Accordingly, you can lose money investing in this strategy. Please be aware that this strategy may be subject to certain additional risks. Companies within the infrastructure industry are subject to a variety of factors that may adversely affect their business or operations, including high interest, leverage and regulatory costs, difficulty raising capital, the effect of an economic slowdown or recession and surplus capacity, and increased competition. Other risks include technological innovation, significant changes in the number of end-users, an increasing deregulatory environment, natural and environmental risks, and terrorist attacks. In general, equities securities values also fluctuate in response to activities specific to a company. Investments in foreign markets entail special risks such as currency, political, economic, market and liquidity risks. Certain infrastructure companies in which the Portfolio may invest may elect to be treated as a real estate investment trusts (REIT) for U.S. tax purposes. Investing in REITs exposes investors to the risks of owning real estate directly, as well as to risks that relate specifically to the way in which REITs are organized and operated. Investments in small- and medium-capitalization companies tend to be more volatile and less liquid than those of larger, more established, companies. The risks of investing in emerging market countries are greater than the risks generally associated with investments in foreign developed countries. Non-diversified portfolios often invest in a more limited number of issuers. As such, changes in the financial condition or market value of a single issuer may cause greater volatility. Illiquid securities may be more difficult to sell and value than public traded securities (liquidity risk). MORNINGSTAR Past performance is no guarantee of future results.
