Morgan Stanley Institutional Liquidity Funds
Supplement dated March 15, 2024 to
the Morgan Stanley Institutional Liquidity Funds
Prospectuses dated
(the "Fund")
At a meeting held on March 13-14, 2024, the Board of Trustees (the "Board") delegated to Morgan Stanley Investment Management Inc., the Fund's investment adviser (the "Adviser"), the responsibility to make determinations related to the imposition of a discretionary liquidity fee on redemptions (up to 2%), including the determination of whether such discretionary liquidity fee is in the best interests of the Fund. The Board may, in its discretion, revoke the delegation to the Adviser at any time.
The Board generally expects that a discretionary liquidity fee would be imposed, if at all, during periods of extraordinary market stress. While the Adviser may, in its discretion, impose a discretionary liquidity fee at any time, the Adviser generally expects that the Fund will promptly notify financial intermediaries and shareholders in the event the Adviser determines that a discretionary liquidity fee will be imposed. Announcements regarding the imposition or termination of discretionary liquidity fees will be made through a supplement to the Fund's prospectus or by other means.
In connection with this delegation, the last sentence of the third paragraph of the section of each Prospectus titled "Fund Summary—Prime Portfolio—Principal Investment Strategies" is hereby deleted and replaced with the following:
Like other money market funds of its type, the Fund is subject to the possible imposition of a discretionary liquidity fee if the Adviser, as the delegate of the Fund's Board of Trustees, determines that such fee is in the best interests of the Fund.
In addition, all other references to the possible imposition of a discretionary liquidity fee in each Prospectus are similarly updated to reflect the Board's delegation of this responsibility to the Adviser.
Please retain this supplement for future reference.
