DEAN WITTER GLOBAL PERSPECTIVE PORTFOLIO L.P.
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(UNAUDITED)
The financial statements include, in the opinion of management,
all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of the results
of operations and financial condition of Dean Witter Global
Perspective Portfolio L.P. (the "Partnership"). The financial
statements and condensed notes herein should be read in
conjunction with the Partnership's December 31, 1997 Annual
Report on Form 10-K.
1. Organization
Dean Witter Global Perspective Portfolio L.P. is a limited
partnership organized to engage in the speculative trading of
commodity futures contracts, commodity options contracts and
forward contracts (collectively, "futures interests"). The
general partner is Demeter Management Corporation ("Demeter").
The non-clearing commodity broker is Dean Witter Reynolds Inc.
("DWR"), with an unaffiliated clearing commodity broker, Carr
Futures Inc. ("Carr"), providing clearing and execution services.
Both Demeter and DWR are wholly-owned subsidiaries of Morgan
Stanley Dean Witter & Co. ("MSDW"). Demeter has retained ELM
Financial, Inc., EMC Capital Management, Inc., and Millburn
Ridgefield Corporation as the trading advisors of the
Partnership.
2. Related Party Transactions
The Partnership's cash is on deposit with DWR and Carr in
commodity trading accounts to meet margin requirements as needed.
<PAGE>
DEAN WITTER GLOBAL PERSPECTIVE PORTFOLIO L.P.
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
DWR pays interest on these funds based on current 13-week U.S.
Treasury bill rates. Brokerage expenses incurred by the
Partnership are paid to DWR.
3. Financial Instruments
The Partnership trades futures, options and forward contracts in
interest rates, stock indices, commodities and currencies.
Futures and forwards represent contracts for delayed delivery of
an instrument at a specified date and price. Risk arises from
changes in the value of these contracts and the potential
inability of counterparties to perform under the terms of the
contracts. There are numerous factors which may significantly
influence the market value of these contracts, including interest
rate volatility. At June 30, 1998 and December 31, 1997, open
contracts were:

<PAGE>
DEAN WITTER GLOBAL PERSPECTIVE PORTFOLIO L.P.
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
A portion of the amounts indicated as off-balance-sheet risk in
forward currency contracts is due to offsetting forward
commitments to purchase and to sell the same currency on the same
date in the future. These commitments are economically
offsetting, but are not offset in the forward market until the
settlement date.
The net unrealized gains on open contracts are reported as a
component of "Equity in Commodity futures trading accounts" on
the Statements of Financial Condition and totaled $595,988 and
$1,204,698 at June 30, 1998 and December 31, 1997, respectively.
Of the $595,988 net unrealized gain on open contracts at June 30,
1998, $751,727 related to exchange-traded futures contracts and
$(155,739) related to off-exchange-traded forward currency
contracts.
Of the $1,204,698 net unrealized gain on open contracts at
December 31, 1997, $1,259,832 related to exchange-traded futures
contracts and $(55,134) related to off-exchange-traded forward
currency contracts.
Exchange-traded futures contracts held by the Partnership at June
30, 1998 and December 31, 1997 mature through March 1999 and
December 1998, respectively. Off-exchange-traded forward
currency contracts held by the Partnership at June 30, 1998 and
December
<PAGE>
DEAN WITTER GLOBAL PERSPECTIVE PORTFOLIO L.P.
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
31, 1997 mature through September 1998 and March 1998,
respectively.
The contract amounts in the above table represent the
Partnership's extent of involvement in a particular class of
financial instrument, but not the credit risk associated with
counterparty non-performance. The credit risk associated with
these instruments is limited to the amounts reflected in the
Partnership's Statements of Financial Condition.
The Partnership also has credit risk because DWR and Carr act as
the futures commission merchants or the counterparties, with
respect to most of the Partnership's assets. Exchange-traded
futures and futures styled options contracts are marked to market
on a daily basis, with variations in value settled on a daily
basis. Each of DWR and Carr, as a futures commission merchant
for the Partnership's exchange-traded futures and futures styled
options contracts, are required, pursuant to regulations of the
Commodity Futures Trading Commission ("CFTC"), to segregate from
their own assets, and for the sole benefit of their commodity
customers, all funds held by them with respect to exchange-traded
futures and futures styled options contracts, including an amount
equal to the net unrealized gain on all open futures and futures
styled options contracts, which funds, in the aggregate, totaled
$18,245,393 and $20,945,026 at June 30, 1998 and December 31,
1997, respectively. With respect to the Partnership's off-
<PAGE>
DEAN WITTER GLOBAL PERSPECTIVE PORTFOLIO L.P.
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONCLUDED)
exchange-traded forward currency contracts, there are no daily
settlements of variations in value nor is there any requirement
that an amount equal to the net unrealized gain on open forward
contracts be segregated. With respect to those off-exchange-
traded forward currency contracts, the Partnership is at risk to
the ability of Carr, the sole counterparty on all such contracts,
to perform. Carr's parent, Credit Agricole Indosuez, has
guaranteed to the Partnership, payment of the net liquidating
value of the transactions in the Partnership's account with Carr
(including foreign currency contracts).
For the six months ended June 30, 1998 and the year ended
December
31, 1997, the average fair value of financial instruments held
for
trading purposes was as follows:

Item 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Liquidity - The Partnership's assets are deposited with DWR, as
non-clearing broker and with Carr, as clearing broker in separate
futures interest trading accounts, and are used by the
Partnership as margin to engage in futures interest trading.
Such assets are held in either non-interest bearing bank accounts
or in securities approved by the CFTC for investment of customer
funds. The Partnership's assets held by DWR and Carr may be used
as margin solely for the Partnership's trading. Since the
Partnership's sole purpose is to trade in futures interests, it
is expected that the Partnership will continue to own such liquid
assets for margin purposes.
The Partnership's investment in futures interests may be
illiquid. If the price of a futures contract for a particular
commodity has increased or decreased by an amount equal to the
"daily limit," positions in the commodity can neither be taken
nor liquidated unless traders are willing to effect trades at or
within the limit. Commodity futures prices have occasionally
moved the daily limit for several consecutive days with little or
no trading. Such market conditions could prevent the Partnership
from promptly liquidating its commodity futures positions and
result in restrictions on redemptions.
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
<PAGE>
prevent the Partnership from trading in potentially profitable
markets or prevent the Partnership from promptly liquidating
unfavorable positions in such markets and subjecting it to
substantial losses. Either of these market conditions could
result in restrictions on redemptions.
Capital Resources. The Partnership does not have, nor does it
expect to have, any capital assets. Redemptions of Units of
Limited Partnership Interest in the future will affect the amount
of funds available for investment in futures interests in
subsequent periods. Since they are at the discretion of Limited
Partners, it is not possible to estimate the amount and
therefore, the impact of future redemptions.
Results of Operations
For the Quarter and Six Months Ended June 30, 1998
For the quarter ended June 30, 1998, the Partnership recorded
total trading losses net of interest income of $719,211 and
posted a decrease in Net Asset Value per Unit. The most
significant losses were recorded in the financial futures markets
during April and June. In April, losses were recorded from long
global bond futures positions as Australian, Japanese and
European interest rate futures prices reversed lower after
trending higher previously. This trend higher in global interest
rate futures prices reemerged during May. However, additional
losses were recorded during June as this upward move reversed
sharply lower during mid-month in reaction to the Federal
Reserve's intervention to halt the downward slide of the Japanese
<PAGE>
yen. A small portion of these losses was offset by gains
recorded from long European stock index futures positions.
Smaller losses were recorded in the currency markets from short
positions in the German mark and Swiss franc during April and
June. Smaller losses were recorded in the agricultural market
from long soybean oil positions as prices reversed lower during
May after trending higher in March and April. Smaller losses
were recorded in the energy and metals markets during the second
quarter. A portion of the overall losses for the quarter was
offset by gains recorded in soft commodities during June from
long cotton futures positions as prices moved higher. Additional
gains were recorded from short coffee futures positions as coffee
prices moved lower. Total expenses for the three months ended
June 30, 1998 were $514,862, resulting in a net loss of
$1,234,073. The value of an individual Unit in the Partnership
decreased from $958.16 at March 31, 1998 to $900.01 at June 30,
1998.
For the six months ended June 30, 1998, the Partnership recorded
total trading losses net of interest income of $334,617 and
posted a decrease in Net Asset Value per Unit. The most
significant losses were recorded from long global bond futures
positions as Australian, Japanese and U.S. interest rate futures
prices reversed lower after trending higher previously. This
trend higher in global interest rate futures prices reemerged
during May. However, additional losses were recorded during June
as this upward move reversed sharply lower during mid-month in
reaction to the Federal Reserve's intervention to halt the
<PAGE>
downward slide of the Japanese yen. A small portion of these
losses was offset by gains recorded from long European stock
index futures positions. Additional losses were recorded in the
currency markets during January due primarily to a reversal lower
in the previous upward trend in the value of the U.S. dollar
relative to the German mark, Japanese yen and the Australian
dollar. Currency losses were also recorded during February and
June from trading the Japanese yen and in March from trading the
German mark. In the metals markets, losses were recorded from
short copper futures positions as prices moved higher during
January and March, and from long silver futures positions as
silver prices reversed sharply lower during February after
trending higher previously. In the agricultural markets losses
were recorded from trading soybean oil futures in May and corn
futures in June. Smaller losses were recorded in the energy
markets. A portion of the Partnership's overall losses was
offset by gains in soft commodities from short sugar and coffee
futures as prices in these markets trended lower. Total expenses
for the six months ended June 30, 1998 were $1,092,258, resulting
in a net loss of $1,426,875. The value of an individual Unit in
the Partnership decreased from $967.23 at December 31, 1997 to
$900.01 at June 30, 1998.
For the Quarter and Six Months Ended June 30, 1997
For the quarter ended June 30, 1997, the Partnership recorded
total trading revenues including interest income of $365,459 and
after expenses posted a decrease in Net Asset Value per Unit.
Net
trading losses were recorded in the energy markets as gas and oil
<PAGE>
prices moved in a short-term volatile pattern throughout the
quarter. Additional losses were recorded from long positions in
base metals futures, particularly aluminum and copper futures, as
these prices moved lower during the quarter. In the financial
futures markets, losses were recorded during April from choppy
price movement in European interest rate futures. Smaller losses
were experienced in the currency markets as gains experienced
from transactions involving the Japanese yen and German mark were
more than offset by losses recorded from trendless movement in
the value of the British pound and Swiss franc versus the U.S.
dollar. A portion of the overall losses for the quarter was
offset by gains recorded during May and June from long Australian
bond and global stock index futures positions, as prices in these
markets trended higher. Trading gains were also recorded in the
soft commodities markets during April and May from long coffee
futures positions as prices trended higher. Total expenses for
the three months ended June 30, 1997 were $663,881, resulting in
a net loss of $298,422. The value of an individual Unit in the
Partnership decreased from $980.28 at March 31, 1997 to $968.55
at June 30, 1997.
For the six months ended June 30, 1997, the Partnership recorded
total trading revenues including interest income of $3,708,425
and posted an increase in Net Asset Value per Unit. The most
significant gains were recorded in the currency markets as the
value of the U.S. dollar increased relative to most major world
currencies during the period January through April. Additional
currency gains were recorded in the Japanese yen and German mark
<PAGE>
during June as the value of the U.S. dollar continued to
strengthen versus these currencies. Trading gains were recorded
in the financial futures markets during May and June from long
positions in global stock index futures as global equity prices
trended higher. Profits were also recorded from long positions
in soybean, wheat and corn futures during March as prices moved
higher, and in June from short positions in these same markets as
prices moved lower. Smaller gains were recorded in the soft
commodities markets from long coffee futures positions as coffee
prices trended higher for a majority of the first half of the
year. A portion of the Partnership's overall gains during this
period was offset by losses recorded in the energy markets as gas
and oil prices moved in a short-term volatile pattern. Smaller
losses were experienced from long positions in base metals
futures, as prices moved lower during March and April. Total
expenses for the six months ended June 30, 1997 were $1,286,274,
resulting in net income of $2,422,151. The value of an
individual Unit in the Partnership increased from $870.11 at
December 31, 1996 to $968.55 at June 30, 1997.
