Trust Report

For the six months ended April 30, 2010

Market Conditions

Economic data released during the six-month reporting period indicated that the economy was expanding, although some investors continued to question whether the recession was really behind us. The housing market continued to lag and unemployment remained high, but hints of improvement began to appear late in the period when the April labor report showed that employment in the U.S. rose by its largest monthly increase in four years. The Federal Reserve maintained their accommodative monetary policy, leaving the federal funds target rate unchanged at near zero percent, but hiked the discount rate by 25 basis points to 0.75 percent in mid-February – perhaps an indication of monetary tightening ahead.

Municipal bond market performance slowed substantially during the reporting period from the historically large returns seen in previous months. The lower rated segment of the market continued to outperform as investor demand for lower quality, higher yielding bonds grew over the course of the period. For the six months ended April 30, 2010, the Barclays Capital High Yield Municipal Bond Index gained 6.70 percent while the Barclays Capital Municipal Bond Index (the benchmark for the investment grade segment) gained 3.68 percent. Overall, longer maturity issues outperformed those with shorter maturities. For the six months ended April 30, 2010, long bonds (those with maturities of 22 years or more) returned 5.09 percent while five-year bonds returned 3.22 percent, as measured by the respective Barclays Capital municipal bond indexes.

With regard to sectors, hospital bonds and tobacco bonds were among the top performers, outpacing the broad municipal market as rising demand for these lower quality issues helped boost returns. Revenue bonds outperformed general obligation bonds amid media reports of municipalities’ general financial weakness and ongoing weakness in tax collections.

Demand for municipal bonds overall remained steady, with approximately $24 billion flowing into municipal bond funds during the period. New issue supply remained relatively stable as well, totaling roughly $205 billion. However, 25 percent of that total issuance was in taxable Build America Bonds, thereby limiting the supply of traditional tax-exempt bonds. This has helped buoy tax-exempt bond prices and the relative value of municipal bonds overall versus other fixed income sectors.

Performance Analysis

For the six-month period ended April 30, 2010, the net asset value (NAV) of Morgan Stanley Quality Municipal Securities (IQM) increased from $13.97 to $14.39 per share. Based on this change plus reinvestment of tax-free dividends totaling $0.42 per share, the Trust’s total NAV return was 6.29 percent. IQM’s value on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) moved from $12.80 to $13.79 per share during the same period. Based on this change plus reinvestment of dividends, the Trust’s total market return was 11.16 percent. IQM’s NYSE market price was at a 4.17 percent discount to its NAV. Past performance is no guarantee of future results.

Monthly dividends for May 2010 were unchanged at $0.07 per share. The dividend reflects the current level of the Trust’s net investment income. IQM’s level of undistributed net investment income was $0.218 per share on April 30, 2010 versus $0.186 per share six months earlier.¹

The primary contributors to the Trust’s performance for the reporting period included exposure to A and BBB rated bonds. Spreads on these issues tightened during the period, helping them to outperform higher quality issues. Holdings in the health care, industrial development revenue/pollution control revenue (IDR/PCR), and tobacco sectors were additive to returns as these sectors outperformed the broad municipal bond market for the period. The portfolio’s exposure on the long end of the municipal yield curve was also advantageous as longer maturities issues outperformed shorter maturity issues.

Other positions, however, were less advantageous. Exposure to zero coupon bonds hindered performance as spreads in this sector widened over the course of the period. The portfolio’s exposure to local general obligation bonds also detracted given the sector’s underperformance of essential service bonds.

The Trust’s procedure for reinvesting all dividends and distributions in common shares is through purchases in the open market. This method helps support the market value of the Trust’s shares. In addition, we would like to remind you that the Trustees have approved a share repurchase program whereby the Trust may, when appropriate, purchase shares in the open market or in privately negotiated transactions at a price not above market value or net asset value, whichever is lower at the time of purchase. The Trust may also take action to reduce or eliminate the amount of Auction Rate Preferred Shares (ARPS) outstanding.

Performance data quoted represents past performance, which is no guarantee of future results, and current performance may be lower or higher than the figures shown. Investment return, net asset value and common share market price will fluctuate and Trust shares, when sold, may be worth more or less than their original cost.

There is no guarantee that any sectors mentioned will continue to perform as discussed herein or that securities in such sectors will be held by the Trust in the future.

Approval of Investment Advisory and Sub-Advisory Agreements

The Board of Trustees (the Board) of Invesco Quality Municipal Securities (the Trust) is required under the Investment Company Act of 1940 to approve the Trust’s investment advisory agreements. At various meetings of the Board held during the third and fourth quarters of 2009 and early 2010, the Board as a whole and the disinterested or “independent” Trustees, voting separately, approved (i) a new investment advisory agreement with Invesco Advisers, Inc. (Invesco Advisers), (ii) a new Master Intergroup Sub-Advisory Contract for Mutual Funds (the sub-advisory contracts and together with the investment advisory agreement with Invesco Advisers, the new advisory agreements) with Invesco Asset Management Deutschland GmbH, Invesco Asset Management Limited, Invesco Asset Management (Japan) Limited, Invesco Australia Limited, Invesco Hong Kong Limited, Invesco Senior Secured Management, Inc. and Invesco Trimark Ltd. (collectively, the Affiliated Sub-Advisers), and (iii) the appointment of Invesco Advisers as investment adviser and the Affiliated Sub-Advisers as investment sub-advisers to the Trust. In doing so, the Board determined that the new advisory agreements will enable shareholders of the Trust to obtain high quality services at a cost that is appropriate, reasonable and in the best interests of the Trust and its shareholders and that the compensation to Invesco Advisers and the Affiliated Sub-Advisers under the Trust’s new advisory agreements is fair and reasonable. The new advisory agreements were approved to become effective upon approval by the shareholders of the Trust and closing of a transaction between Morgan Stanley and Invesco Ltd. (Invesco) under which Invesco acquired the retail mutual fund assets of Morgan Stanley (the Acquisition).

The Board’s Trust Evaluation Process

In reaching their decision, the Board requested and obtained information from Morgan Stanley, Invesco Advisers and Invesco, including information obtained during various meetings with Senior Management at Invesco, as they deemed reasonably necessary to evaluate the new advisory agreements for the Trust. In considering the Trust’s new advisory agreements, the Board evaluated a number of factors and considerations listed below that they believed, in light of their own business judgment, to be relevant to their determination.

1. The Board considered the reputation, financial strength and resources of Invesco, one of the world’s leading independent global investment management firms, the strength of Invesco’s resources and investment capabilities and the client-focused shareholder services offered by Invesco.

2. The Board discussed the challenges of positioning the Trust on a common operating platform with Invesco, with particular emphasis on ensuring portfolio management operations properly migrate to Invesco as part of the Acquisition, to ensure uninterrupted services for shareholders and the opportunity for the portfolio management of the Trust to recognize savings from economies of scale when such savings occur.

3. The Board noted the continuity of key investment management personnel that would manage the Trust upon consummation of the Acquisition, specifically noting that, with respect to the Trust, the persons responsible for the portfolio management of the Trust are expected to remain the same except that Neil Stone will not continue as a portfolio manager of the Trust. The Board discussed at length the effect of this change on the Trust.

4. The Board noted that entering into the sub-advisory contracts would provide Invesco Advisers with increased flexibility in assigning portfolio managers to the Trust and would give the Trust access to portfolio managers and investment personnel located in other offices, including those outside the United States, who may have more specialized expertise on local companies, markets and economies or on various types of investments and investment techniques.

5. The Board noted that, pursuant to the sub-advisory contracts, Invesco Advisers would pay all of the sub-advisory fees of the Affiliated Sub-Advisers out of its management fees.

6. The Board noted the undertaking by Invesco and Morgan Stanley or their respective affiliates to assume all of the costs of the Acquisition, including the cost of obtaining the shareholder approvals discussed above. The Board noted that Invesco Advisers would provide a two-year contractual guaranty to limit the total expense ratio of the Trust to the Trust’s total expense ratio prior to the Acquisition. In determining the obligation to waive advisory fees and/or reimburse expenses, the following is not taken into account: (i) interest, (ii) taxes, (iii) dividend expense on short sales, (iv) extraordinary or non-routine items, and (v) expenses that the Trust has incurred but did not actually pay because of an offset arrangement. During the Board’s extensive review process, the Board, including the independent Trustees, considered, among other things, the following factors: the terms and conditions of the new advisory agreements, including the differences from the advisory agreement with Morgan Stanley affiliates; and the nature, scope and quality of services that Invesco Advisers and its affiliates are expected to provide to the Trust, including sub-advisory services and compliance services. The Board evaluated all information available to them on a trust-by-trust basis, and their determinations were made separately in respect of the Trust. The Board also based their decisions on the following considerations, among others, although they did not identify any consideration that was all important or controlling of their discussions, and each Trustee attributed different weights to the various factors.

A. Nature, Extent and Quality of Services. The Board reviewed and considered the nature and extent of the investment advisory services to be provided by Invesco Advisers and the Affiliated Sub-Advisers under the new advisory agreements, including portfolio management, investment

research and fixed income securities trading. The Board also reviewed and considered the nature and extent of the non-advisory, administrative services to be provided by Invesco Advisers under the Trust’s administration agreement, including accounting services and the provision of supplies, office space and utilities at Invesco Advisers’ expense. The Board was advised that there was no expected diminution in the nature, quality and extent of services provided to the Trust’s shareholders.

The Board reviewed and considered the qualifications of the portfolio managers who are expected to continue as portfolio managers, noting the one portfolio manager who would not continue to manage the Trust as a result of the new advisory agreements, and the senior administrative managers and other key personnel of Invesco Advisers or its affiliates who will provide the advisory and administrative services to the Trust.

B. Performance, Fees and Expenses of the Trust. The Board noted that Invesco Advisers and the Affiliated Sub-Advisers had not yet begun providing services to the Trust and, therefore, concluded that performance was not a factor they needed to address with respect to the approval of the new advisory agreements. They also considered that management fees would not increase under the new advisory agreements and that Invesco Advisers would pay the fee under the sub-advisory contract out of its management fees. Furthermore, the Board considered that Invesco Advisers would provide a two-year contractual guaranty to limit the total expense ratio of the Trust to the Trust’s total expense ratio prior to the Acquisition.

C. Economies of Scale. The Board considered the benefits that the shareholders of the Trust would be afforded as a result of anticipated economies of scale.

D. Other Benefits of the Relationship. The Board considered other benefits to Invesco Advisers and its affiliates that may be derived from their relationship with the Trust and other funds advised by Invesco Advisers.

E. Resources of the Adviser. The Board considered whether Invesco Advisers and the Affiliated Sub-Advisers were financially sound and had the resources necessary to perform their obligations under the new advisory agreements, noting assurances that Invesco Advisers and the Affiliated Sub-Advisers had the financial resources necessary to fulfill their obligations under the new advisory agreements and the benefits to the Trust of such a relationship.

F. General Conclusion. After considering and weighing all of the above factors, the Board, including the independent Trustees, unanimously concluded that it would be in the best interest of the Trust and its shareholders to approve the new advisory agreements with respect to the Trust. In reaching this conclusion, the Board did not give particular weight to any single factor referenced above. The Board considered these factors over the course of numerous meetings, some of which were in executive session with only the independent Trustees and their counsel present.

1. Organization and Accounting Policies

Morgan Stanley Quality Municipal Securities (the “Trust”) is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, as a diversified, closed-end management investment company. The Trust’s investment objective is to provide current income which is exempt from federal income tax. The Trust was organized as a Massachusetts business trust on March 3, 1993 and commenced operations on September 29, 1993.

On June 1, 2010, Invesco Ltd., a leading independent global investment management company, completed its purchase of substantially all of the retail asset management business of Morgan Stanley (the “Transaction”). In contemplation of the Transaction, at a Special Meeting of Shareholders held on April 16, 2010, shareholders of the Trust approved a new Board of Trustees, a new investment advisory agreement with Invesco Advisers, Inc., a subsidiary of Invesco Ltd., and a new master investment sub-advisory agreement with several of Invesco Ltd.’s wholly-owned affiliates. At that Special Meeting of Shareholders, the Trust’s shareholders approved all proposals. Thus, effective June 1, 2010, the Trust’s investment adviser, investment sub-advisers and certain other service providers are affiliates of Invesco Ltd. In addition, effective June 17, 2010, the Audit Committee of the Board of Trustees appointed, and the Board of Trustees ratified thereafter and approved, PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP as the independent registered public accounting firm of the Trust.

The following is a summary of significant accounting policies:

A. Valuation of Investments —

(1) Portfolio securities are valued by an outside independent pricing service approved by the Trustees. The pricing service uses both a computerized grid matrix of tax-exempt securities and evaluations by its staff, in each case based on information concerning market transactions and quotations from dealers which reflect the mean between the last reported bid and ask price. The portfolio securities are thus valued by reference to a combination of transactions and quotations for the same or other securities believed to be comparable in quality, coupon, maturity, type of issue, call provisions, trading characteristics and other features deemed to be relevant. The Trustees believe that timely and reliable market quotations are generally not readily available for purposes of valuing tax-exempt securities and that the valuations supplied by the pricing service are more likely to represent the fair value of such securities; (2) futures are valued at the latest sale price on the commodities exchange on which they trade unless it is determined that such price does not reflect their market value, in which case they will be valued at their fair value as determined in good faith under procedures established by and under the supervision of the Trustees; (3) investments in open-end mutual funds, including the Morgan Stanley Institutional Liquidity Funds, are valued at the net asset value as of the close of each business day; and (4) short-term debt securities having a maturity date of more than sixty days at time of purchase are valued on a mark-to-market basis until sixty days prior to maturity and thereafter at amortized cost based on their value on the 61st day. Short-

Morgan Stanley Quality Municipal Securities

Notes to Financial Statements - April 30, 2010 (unaudited) continued

term debt securities having a maturity date of sixty days or less at the time of purchase are valued at amortized cost, which approximates market value.

B. Accounting for Investments —

Security transactions are accounted for on the trade date (date the order to buy or sell is executed). Realized gains and losses on security transactions are determined by the identified cost method. Discounts are accreted and premiums are amortized over the life of the respective securities and are included in interest income. Interest income is accrued daily as earned.

C. Futures —

A futures contract is an agreement between two parties to buy and sell financial instruments or contracts based on financial indices at a set price on a future date. Upon entering into such a contract, the Trust is required to pledge to the broker: cash, U.S. Government securities or other liquid portfolio securities equal to the minimum initial margin requirements of the applicable futures exchange. Pursuant to the contract, the Trust agrees to receive from or pay to the broker an amount of cash equal to the daily fluctuation in the value of the contract. Such receipts or payments known as variation margin are recorded by the Trust as unrealized gains and losses. Upon closing of the contract, the Trust realizes a gain or loss equal to the difference between the value of the contract at the time it was opened and the value at the time it was closed.

D. Floating Rate Note and Dealer Trusts Obligations Related to Securities Held —

The Trust enters into transactions in which it transfers to Dealer Trusts (“Dealer Trusts”), fixed rate bonds in exchange for cash and residual interests in the Dealer Trusts’ assets and cash flows, which are in the form of inverse floating rate investments. The Dealer Trusts fund the purchases of the fixed rate bonds by issuing floating rate notes to third parties and allowing the Trust to retain residual interest in the bonds. The Trust enters into shortfall agreements with the Dealer Trusts which commit the Trust to pay the Dealer Trusts, in certain circumstances, the difference between the liquidation value of the fixed rate bonds held by the Dealer Trusts and the liquidation value of the floating rate notes held by third parties, as well as any shortfalls in interest cash flows. The residual interests held by the Trust (inverse floating rate investments) include the right of the Trust (1) to cause the holders of the floating rate notes to tender their notes at par at the next interest rate reset date, and (2) to transfer the municipal bond from the Dealer Trusts to the Trust, thereby collapsing the Dealer Trusts. The Trust accounts for the transfer of bonds to the Dealer Trusts as secured borrowings, with the securities transferred remaining in the Trust’s investment assets, and the related floating rate notes reflected as Trust liabilities under the caption “floating rate note and dealer trusts obligations” on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. The Trust records the interest income from the fixed rate bonds under the caption “interest” and records the expenses related to floating rate note and dealer trusts obligations and any administrative expenses of the Dealer Trusts under the caption “interest and residual trust expenses” on the Statement of Operations. The floating rate notes issued by the Dealer Trusts have interest rates that reset weekly and the floating rate note holders have the option to tender their notes to the Dealer Trusts for

Morgan Stanley Quality Municipal Securities

Notes to Financial Statements - April 30, 2010 (unaudited) continued

redemption at par at each reset date. At April 30, 2010, the Trust’s investments with a value of $67,539,547 are held by the Dealer Trusts and serve as collateral for the $39,547,000 in floating rate note and dealer trusts obligations outstanding at that date. The range of contractual maturities of the floating rate note and dealer trusts obligations and interest rates in effect at April 30, 2010 are presented in the Portfolio of Investments.

E. Federal Income Tax Policy —

It is the Trust’s policy to comply with the requirements of Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code applicable to regulated investment companies and to distribute substantially all of its taxable and non-taxable income to its shareholders. Therefore, no federal income tax provision is required. The Trust files tax returns with the U.S. Internal Revenue Service, New York State and New York City. The Trust recognizes the tax effects of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return only if it is more likely than not to be sustained based solely on its technical merits as of the reporting date. The more-likely-than-not threshold must continue to be met in each reporting period to support continued recognition of the benefit. The difference between the tax benefit recognized in the financial statements for a tax position taken and the tax benefit claimed in the income tax return is referred to as an unrecognized tax benefit. There are no unrecognized tax benefits in the accompanying financial statements. If applicable, the Trust recognizes interest accrued related to unrecognized tax benefits in interest expense and penalties in other expenses in the Statement of Operations. Each of the tax years filed in the four-year period ended October 31, 2009 remains subject to examination by taxing authorities.

The Trust purchases municipal securities whose interest, in the opinion of the issuer, is free from federal income tax. There is no assurance that the Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) will agree with this opinion. In the event the IRS determines that the issuer does not comply with relevant tax requirements, interest payments from a security could become federally taxable.

F. Dividends and Distributions to Shareholders —

Dividends and distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date.

G. Use of Estimates —

The preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts and disclosures. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

H. Subsequent Events —

The Trust considers events or transactions that occur after the date of the Statement of Assets and Liabilities but before the financial statements are issued to provide additional evidence relative to certain estimates or to identify matters that require additional disclosure. Subsequent events have been evaluated through the date of issuance of these financial statements.

Morgan Stanley Quality Municipal Securities

2. Fair Valuation Measurements

Fair value is defined as the price that the Trust would receive to sell an investment or pay to transfer a liability in a timely transaction with an independent buyer in the principal market, or in the absence of a principal market the most advantageous market for the investment or liability. GAAP utilizes a three-tier hierarchy to distinguish between (1) inputs that reflect the assumptions market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability developed based on market data obtained from sources independent of the reporting entity (observable inputs) and (2) inputs that reflect the reporting entity’s own assumptions about the assumptions market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability developed based on the best information available in the circumstances (unobservable inputs) and to establish classification of fair value measurements for disclosure purposes. Various inputs are used in determining the value of the Trust’s investments. The inputs are summarized in the three broad levels listed below.


	•	Level 1 — unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical investments

	•	Level 2 — other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar investments, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.)

	•	Level 3 — significant unobservable inputs (including the Trust’s own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments)

The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities and the determination of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement in its entirety requires judgment and considers factors specific to each security.

The following is the summary of the inputs used as of April 30, 2010 in valuing the Trust’s investments carried at fair value:


			FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS AT APRIL 30, 2010 USING
			UNADJUSTED		OTHER
			QUOTED PRICES IN		SIGNIFICANT		SIGNIFICANT

3. Derivative Financial Instruments

A derivative financial instrument in very general terms refers to a security whose value is “derived” from the value of an underlying asset, reference rate or index.

Morgan Stanley Quality Municipal Securities

Notes to Financial Statements - April 30, 2010 (unaudited) continued

The Trust may use derivative instruments for a variety of reasons, such as to attempt to protect the Trust against possible changes in the market value of its portfolio or to generate potential gain. All of the Trust’s portfolio holdings, including derivative instruments, are marked-to-market each day with the change in value reflected in unrealized appreciation/depreciation. Upon disposition, a realized gain or loss is recognized accordingly, except when taking delivery of a security underlying a contract. In these instances, the recognition of gain or loss is postponed until the disposal of the security underlying the contract. Risk may arise as a result of the potential inability of the counterparties to meet the terms of their contracts.

Summarized below are specific types of derivative financial instruments used by the Trust.

Futures To hedge against adverse interest rate changes, the Trust may invest in financial futures contracts or municipal bond index futures contracts (“futures contracts”). These futures contracts involve elements of market risk in excess of the amount reflected in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. The Trust bears the risk of an unfavorable change in the value of the underlying securities. Risks may also arise upon entering into these contracts from the potential inability of the counterparties to meet the terms of their contracts.

Transactions in futures contracts for the six months ended April 30, 2010, were as follows:


	NUMBER OF
	CONTRACTS
Futures, outstanding at beginning of the period		260
Futures opened		214
Futures closed		(474	)

Futures, outstanding at end of the period		—

The following tables set forth by primary risk exposure the Trust’s realized gains (losses) and change in unrealized gains (losses) by type of derivative contract for the six months ended April 30, 2010.

4. Investment Advisory/Administration Agreements

Pursuant to an Investment Advisory Agreement with Morgan Stanley Investment Advisors Inc. (the “Investment Adviser”), the Trust pays an advisory fee, calculated weekly and payable monthly, by applying the annual rate of 0.27% to the Trust’s average weekly net assets including current preferred shares and a portion of

Morgan Stanley Quality Municipal Securities

Notes to Financial Statements - April 30, 2010 (unaudited) continued

floating rate note and dealer trusts obligations entered into to retire outstanding preferred shares of the Trust.

Pursuant to an Administration Agreement with Morgan Stanley Services Company Inc. (the “Administrator”), an affiliate of the Investment Adviser, the Trust pays an administration fee, calculated weekly and payable monthly, by applying the annual rate of 0.08% to the Trust’s average weekly net assets including current preferred shares and a portion of floating rate note and dealer trusts obligations that the Trust entered into to retire outstanding preferred shares of the Trust.

Under an agreement between the Administrator and State Street Bank and Trust Company (“State Street”), State Street provides certain administrative services to the Trust. For such services, the Administrator pays State Street a portion of the fee the Administrator receives from the Trust.

5. Security Transactions and Transactions with Affiliates

The Trust invests in Morgan Stanley Institutional Liquidity Funds – Tax-Exempt Portfolio – Institutional Class, an open-end management investment company managed by an affiliate of the Investment Adviser. Investment advisory fees paid by the Trust are reduced by an amount equal to the advisory and administrative service fees paid by Morgan Stanley Institutional Liquidity Funds – Tax-Exempt Portfolio – Institutional Class with respect to assets invested by the Trust in Morgan Stanley Institutional Liquidity Funds – Tax-Exempt Portfolio – Institutional Class. For the six months ended April 30, 2010, advisory fees paid were reduced by $1,854 relating to the Trust’s investment in Morgan Stanley Institutional Liquidity Funds – Tax-Exempt Portfolio – Institutional Class. Income distributions earned by the Trust are recorded as “dividends from affiliate” in the Statement of Operations and totaled $1,570 for the six months ended April 30, 2010. During the six months ended April 30, 2010, the cost of purchases and sales of investments in Morgan Stanley Institutional Liquidity Funds – Tax-Exempt Portfolio – Institutional Class aggregated $15,175,767 and $13,804,421, respectively.

The cost of purchases and proceeds from sales of portfolio securities, excluding short-term investments, for the six months ended April 30, 2010 aggregated $13,455,755 and $12,099,399, respectively.

The Trust has an unfunded noncontributory defined benefit pension plan covering certain independent Trustees of the Trust who will have served as independent Trustees for at least five years at the time of retirement. Benefits under this plan are based on factors which include years of service and compensation. The Trustees voted to close the plan to new participants and eliminate the future benefits growth due to increases to compensation after July 31, 2003. Aggregate pension costs for the six months ended April 30, 2010, included in “trustees’ fees and expenses” in the Statement of Operations amounted to $10,185. At April 30, 2010, the Trust had an accrued pension liability of $58,545, which is included in “accrued expenses and other payables” in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities.

Morgan Stanley Quality Municipal Securities

Notes to Financial Statements - April 30, 2010 (unaudited) continued

The Trust has an unfunded Deferred Compensation Plan (the “Compensation Plan”) which allows each independent Trustee to defer payment of all, or a portion, of the fees he or she receives for serving on the Board of Trustees. Each eligible Trustee generally may elect to have the deferred amounts credited with a return equal to the total return on one or more of the Morgan Stanley funds that are offered as investment options under the Compensation Plan. Appreciation/depreciation and distributions received from these investments are recorded with an offsetting increase/decrease in the deferred compensation obligation and do not affect the net asset value of the Trust.

6. Preferred Shares of Beneficial Interest

The Trust is authorized to issue up to 1,000,000 non-participating preferred shares of beneficial interest having a par value of $.01 per share, in one or more series, with rights as determined by the Trustees, without approval of the common shareholders. The Trust has issued Series 1 through 5 Auction Rate Preferred Shares (“preferred shares”) which have a liquidation value of $50,000 per share plus the redemption premium, if any, plus accumulated but unpaid dividends, whether or not declared, thereon to the date of distribution. The Trust may redeem such shares, in whole or in part, at the original purchase price of $50,000 per share plus accumulated but unpaid dividends, whether or not declared, thereon to the date of redemption.

Dividends, which are cumulative, are reset through auction procedures.


		AMOUNT IN					RESET	RANGE OF
SERIES	SHARES+	THOUSANDS+		RATE+			DATE	DIVIDEND RATES++
1	193	$	9,650		0.487	%	05/04/2010		0.244% – 0.503	%

+		As of April 30, 2010.
++		For the six months ended April 30, 2010.

Subsequent to April 30, 2010 and up through June 4, 2010, the Trust paid dividends to each of the Series 1 through 5 at rates ranging from 0.396% to 0.487% in the aggregate amount of $23,912.

The Trust is subject to certain restrictions relating to the preferred shares. Failure to comply with these restrictions could preclude the Trust from declaring any distributions to common shareholders or purchasing common shares and/or could trigger the mandatory redemption of preferred shares at liquidation value.

The preferred shares, which are entitled to one vote per share, generally vote with the common shares but vote separately as a class to elect two Trustees and on any matters affecting the rights of the preferred shares.

Morgan Stanley Quality Municipal Securities

9. Purposes of and Risks Relating to Certain Financial Instruments

The Trust may invest a portion of its assets in inverse floating rate municipal securities, which are variable debt instruments that pay interest at rates that move in the opposite direction of prevailing interest rates. These investments are typically used by the Trust in seeking to enhance the yield of the portfolio or used as an alternative form of leverage in order to redeem a portion of the Trust’s preferred shares. Inverse floating

Morgan Stanley Quality Municipal Securities

Notes to Financial Statements - April 30, 2010 (unaudited) continued

rate investments tend to underperform the market for fixed rate bonds in a rising interest rate environment, but tend to outperform the market for fixed rate bonds when interest rates decline or remain relatively stable. Inverse floating rate investments have varying degrees of liquidity. Inverse floating rate securities in which the Trust may invest include derivative instruments such as residual interest bonds (“RIBs”) or tender option bonds (“TOBs”). Such instruments are typically created by a special purpose trust that holds long-term fixed rate bonds (which may be tendered by the Trust in certain instances) and sells two classes of beneficial interests: short-term floating rate interests, which are sold to third party investors, and inverse floating residual interests, which are purchased by the Trust. The short-term floating rate interests have first priority on the cash flow from the bonds held by the special purpose trust and the Trust is paid the residual cash flow from the bonds held by the special purpose trust.

The Trust generally invests in inverse floating rate investments that include embedded leverage, thus exposing the Trust to greater risks and increased costs. The market value of a “leveraged” inverse floating rate investment generally will fluctuate in response to changes in market rates of interest to a greater extent than the value of an unleveraged investment. The extent of increases and decreases in the value of inverse floating rate investments generally will be larger than changes in an equal principal amount of a fixed rate security having similar credit quality, redemption provisions and maturity, which may cause the Trust’s net asset value to be more volatile than if it had not invested in inverse floating rate investments.

In certain instances, the short-term floating rate interests created by the special purpose trust may not be able to be sold to third parties or, in the case of holders tendering (or putting) such interests for repayment of principal, may not be able to be remarketed to third parties. In such cases, the special purpose trust holding the long-term fixed rate bonds may be collapsed. In the case of RIBs or TOBs created by the contribution of long-term fixed income bonds by the Trust, the Trust will then be required to repay the principal amount of the tendered securities. During times of market volatility, illiquidity or uncertainty, the Trust could be required to sell other portfolio holdings at a disadvantageous time to raise cash to meet that obligation.

The Trust may also invest in private placement securities. TOBs are presently classified as private placement securities. Private placement securities are subject to restrictions on resale because they have not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended or are otherwise not readily marketable. As a result of the absence of a public trading market for these securities, they may be less liquid than publicly traded securities. Although these securities may be resold in privately negotiated transactions, the prices realized from these sales could be less than those originally paid by the Trust or less than what may be considered the fair value of such securities.

10. Federal Income Tax Status

The amount of dividends and distributions from net investment income and net realized capital gains are determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations which may differ from GAAP. These “book/tax” differences are either considered temporary or permanent in nature. To the extent these differences are permanent in nature, such amounts are reclassified within the capital accounts based on their federal tax-basis treatment; temporary differences do not require reclassification. Dividends and distributions which exceed net investment income and net realized capital gains for tax purposes are reported as distributions of paid-in-capital.

As of October 31, 2009, the Trust had temporary book/tax differences primarily attributable to book amortization of discounts on debt securities, mark-to-market of open futures contracts and tax adjustments on inverse floaters.

11. Accounting Pronouncements

In June 2009, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued new guidance related to Transfers and Servicing. The new guidance is intended to improve the relevance, representational faithfulness and comparability of the information that a reporting entity provides in its financial statements about a transfer of financial assets; the effects of a transfer on its financial position, financial performance, and cash flows; and a transferor’s continuing involvement, if any, in transferred financial assets. The new guidance is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after November 15, 2009 and earlier application is prohibited. The recognition and measurement provisions of this guidance must be applied to transfers occurring on or after the effective date. Additionally, the disclosure provisions of this guidance should be applied to transfers that occurred both before and after the effective date. The impact of this new guidance on the Trust’s financial statements, if any, is currently being assessed.

On January 21, 2010, FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2010-06. The ASU amends Accounting Standards Codification 820 to add new requirements for disclosures about transfers into and out of Levels 1 and 2 and separate disclosures about purchases, sales, issuances, and settlements relating to Level 3 measurements. It also clarifies existing fair value disclosures about the level of disaggregation and about inputs and valuation techniques in Level 2 and Level 3 fair value measurements. The application of ASU 2010-06 is required for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2009, except for disclosures about purchases, sales, issuances, and settlements relating to Level 3 measurements, which are required for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2010 and for interim periods within those fiscal years. The impact of this new guidance on the Trust’s financial statements, if any, is currently being assessed.

Morgan Stanley Quality Municipal Securities

Dividend Reinvestment Plan (unaudited)

The dividend reinvestment plan (the Plan) offers you a prompt and simple way to reinvest your dividends and capital gains distributions (Distributions) into additional shares of the Trust. Under the Plan, the money you earn from Distributions will be reinvested automatically in more shares of the Trust, allowing you to potentially increase your investment over time.

Plan benefits

• Add to your account

You may increase your shares in the Trust easily and automatically with the Plan.

• Low transaction costs

Transaction costs are low because the new shares are bought in blocks and the brokerage commission is shared among all participants.

• Convenience

You will receive a detailed account statement from Computershare Trust Company, N.A., (the Agent) which administers the Plan. The statement shows your total Distributions, dates of investment, shares acquired, and price per share, as well as the total number of shares in your reinvestment account.

• Safekeeping

The Agent will hold the shares it has acquired for you in safekeeping.

How to participate in the Plan

If you own shares in your own name, you can participate directly in the Plan. If your shares are held in “street name” – in the name of your brokerage firm, bank, or other financial institution – you must instruct that entity to participate on your behalf. If they are unable to participate on your behalf, you may request that they reregister your shares in your own name so that you may enroll in the Plan.

If you choose to participate in the Plan, whenever the Trust declares a distribution, it will be invested in additional shares of the Trust that are purchased in the open market.

How to enroll

To enroll in the Plan, please read the Terms and Conditions in the Plan brochure. You can obtain a copy of the Plan Brochure and enroll in the Plan calling toll-free 800-341-2929 or notifying us in writing at Invesco Closed-End Funds, Computershare Trust Company, N.A., P.O. Box 43078, Providence, Rl 02940-3078. Please include the Trust name and account number and ensure that all shareholders listed on the account sign the written instructions. Your participation in the Plan will begin with the next Distribution payable after the Agent receives your authorization, as long as they receive it before the “record date,” which is generally

Morgan Stanley Quality Municipal Securities

Dividend Reinvestment Plan (unaudited) continued

one week before the dividend is paid. If your authorization arrives after such record date, your participation in the Plan will begin with the following Distribution.

Costs of the Plan

There is no direct charge to you for reinvesting dividends and capital gains distributions because the Plan’s fees are paid by the Trust. However, when applicable, you will pay your portion of any brokerage commissions incurred when the new shares are purchased on the open market. These brokerage commissions are typically less than the standard brokerage charges for individual transactions, because shares are purchased for all participants in blocks, resulting in lower commissions for each individual participant. Any brokerage commissions or service fees are averaged into the purchase price.

Tax implications

The automatic reinvestment of dividends and capital gains distributions does not relieve you of any income tax that may be due on dividends or capital gains distributions. You will receive tax information annually to help you prepare your federal and state income tax returns.

Morgan Stanley does not offer tax advice. The tax information contained herein is general and is not exhaustive by nature. It was not intended or written to be used, and it cannot be used by any taxpayer, for avoiding penalties that may be imposed on the taxpayer under U.S. federal tax laws.
