Master Extended Market Index Series of Quantitative Master Series LLC
Annual Report, December 31, 2014
PORTFOLIO MANAGEMENT COMMENTARY
How did the Series perform?
- For the 12-month period ended December 31, 2014, Master Extended Market Index Series (the “Series”), a series of Quantitative Master Series LLC, returned 7.66% while the benchmark Dow Jones U.S. Completion Total Stock Market IndexSM (the “Benchmark Index”) returned 7.63%.
Describe the market environment.
- U.S. equities moved higher in 2014 as domestic economic growth picked up momentum and interest rates continued to be low. Although volatility increased, levels generally remained below the historical norm. The year got off to a rough start, however, due to heightened risks in emerging markets, slowing growth in China and softer economic data in the United States, while investors were bracing for the impact of the U.S. Federal Reserve (the “Fed”) scaling back on stimulus. Equity markets around the world declined sharply in January. But the sell-off was short-lived and equities rebounded as uncertainty abated. Notably, relief came in the form of long-term interest rates remaining low even as the Fed reduced its open-market purchases. Additionally, investors were comforted by the Fed’s dovish stance on short-term rates and increasing evidence that the recent weakness in U.S. economic data had been temporary and weather-related.
- Equity valuations were relatively high in the aftermath of the strong rally in 2013. Nevertheless, investors continued to favor equities in 2014 as bond yields were persistently low. Improving U.S. economic data, strong corporate earnings and increased merger and acquisition activity propelled market gains, pushing major U.S. stock indexes to all-time highs.
- However, the combination of high valuations and expectations of higher interest rates left equities particularly vulnerable to bad news. Volatility increased as tensions between Russia and Ukraine mounted and investors considered the potential implications of economic sanctions. The fragmentation of Iraq led to escalating violence and a spike in oil prices during the summer. A ground war in Gaza, the downing of a civilian airliner over Malaysia, and Scotland’s flirtation with independence from the United Kingdom added to global headwinds, resulting in a challenging third quarter for equity markets.
- U.S. economic growth strengthened considerably in the latter part of 2014. Initially, the good news was bad for stocks, spurring a sell-off in September as investors feared the Fed would raise short-term rates earlier than previously expected. But calm was restored when the Fed reaffirmed its anticipation that short-term rates would likely continue to be warranted for some time after its target employment and inflation levels are realized. U.S. stocks rebounded in October and continued their climb through year end as U.S. economic data continued to impress investors and help fuel a positive corporate earnings season.
- While the pace of U.S. economic growth strengthened, the broader global economy showed signs of slowing. This drove volatility higher as the divergence in global central bank policies became a major theme in equity markets. While the Fed moved toward tightening policy, the European Central Bank and Bank of Japan implemented easing measures to stimulate their economies and support their currencies. However, the U.S. equity market absorbed much of the increased liquidity flowing from foreign central banks as global investors sought relative stability in a world of rising geopolitical tensions and uneven economic growth.
- As the U.S. economy strengthened, so did the U.S. dollar, which put downward pressure on commodity prices. Oil prices in particular plunged in the latter months of 2014 as a global supply-and-demand imbalance materialized. Lower oil prices led to a pickup in consumer spending in the United States, a positive for U.S. stocks.
Describe recent portfolio activity.
- During the period, as changes were made to the composition of the Benchmark Index, the Series purchased and sold securities to maintain its objective of replicating the risks and return of the Benchmark Index.
Describe portfolio positioning at period end.
- The Series remains positioned to attempt to match the risk characteristics of the Benchmark Index, irrespective of the market’s future direction.

For Series compliance purposes, the Series’ sector classifications refer to any one or more of the sector sub-classifications used by one or more widely recognized market indexes or ratings group indexes, and/or as defined by the investment advisor. These definitions may not apply for purposes of this report, which may combine such sector sub-classifications for reporting ease. |
Derivative Financial Instruments |
The Series may invest in various derivative financial instruments. Derivative financial instruments are used to obtain exposure to a security, index and/or market without owning or taking physical custody of securities or to manage market, equity, credit, interest rate, foreign currency exchange rate, commodity and/or other risks. Derivative financial instruments may give rise to a form of economic leverage. Derivative financial instruments also involve risks, including the imperfect correlation between the value of a derivative financial instrument and the underlying asset, possible default of the counterparty to the transaction or illiquidity of the derivative financial instrument. The Series’ ability to use a derivative financial instrument successfully depends on the investment advisor’s ability to predict pertinent market movements accurately, which cannot be assured. The use of derivative financial instruments may result in losses greater than if they had not been used, may limit the amount of appreciation the Series can realize on an investment and/or may result in lower distributions paid to shareholders. The Series’ investments in these instruments are discussed in detail in the Notes to Financial Statements. |

• | Fair Value Measurements - Various inputs are used in determining the fair value of investments and derivative financial instruments. These inputs to valuation techniques are categorized into a disclosure hierarchy consisting of three broad levels for financial statement purposes. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements). Accordingly, the degree of judgment exercised in determining fair value is greatest for instruments categorized in Level 3. The inputs used to measure fair value may fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In such cases, for disclosure purposes, the fair value hierarchy classification is determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety. The categorization of a value determined for investments and derivative financial instruments is based on the pricing transparency of the investment and derivative financial instrument and is not necessarily an indication of the risks associated with investing in those securities. The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are as follows: |
| | |
| • | Level 1 — unadjusted quoted prices in active markets/exchanges for identical assets or liabilities that the Series has the ability to access |
|
| • | Level 2 — other observable inputs (including, but not limited to, quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in markets that are active, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the assets or liabilities (such as interest rates, yield curves, volatilities, prepayment speeds, loss severities, credit risks and default rates) or other market-corroborated inputs) |
|
| • | Level 3 — unobservable inputs based on the best information available in the circumstances, to the extent observable inputs are not available (including the Series' own assumptions used in determining the fair value of investments and derivative financial instruments) |
|
Changes in valuation techniques may result in transfers into or out of an assigned level within the disclosure hierarchy. In accordance with the Series’ policy, transfers between different levels of the fair value disclosure hierarchy are deemed to have occurred as of the beginning of the reporting period. For information about the Series’ policy regarding valuation of investments and derivative financial instruments, refer to Note 2 of the Notes to Financial Statements.

Notes to Financial Statements | Master Extended Market Index Series |
1. Organization:
Master Extended Market Index Series (the “Series”), a diversified, open-end management investment company, is a series of Quantitative Master Series LLC (the "Master LLC"). The Master LLC, is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), and is organized as a Delaware limited liability company. The Master LLC’s Limited Liability Company Agreement permits the Board of Directors of the Master LLC (the “Board”) to issue non-transferable interests, subject to certain limitations.
The Series, together with certain other registered investment companies advised by BlackRock Advisors, LLC (the “Manager”) or its affiliates, is included in a complex of open-end funds referred to as the Equity-Liquidity Complex.
2. Significant Accounting Policies:
The Series’ financial statements are prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”), which may require management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities in the financial statements and the reported amounts of increases and decreases in net assets from operations during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The Series is considered an investment company under U.S. GAAP and follows the accounting and reporting guidance applicable to investment companies. The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by the Series:
Valuation: The Series’ investments are valued at fair value as of the close of trading on the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) (generally 4:00 p.m., Eastern time). U.S. GAAP defines fair value as the price the Series would receive to sell an asset or pay to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The Series determines the fair values of its financial instruments at market value using independent dealers or pricing services under policies approved by the Board. The BlackRock Global Valuation Methodologies Committee (the “Global Valuation Committee”) is the committee formed by management to develop global pricing policies and procedures and to provide oversight of the pricing function for the Series for all financial instruments.
Equity investments traded on a recognized securities exchange are valued at the official close each day, if available. For equity investments traded on more than one exchange, the official close price on the exchange where the stock is primarily traded is used. Equity investments traded on a recognized exchange for which there were no sales on that day may be valued at the last available bid (long positions) or ask (short positions) price. Financial futures contracts traded on exchanges are valued at their last sale price.
The Series values its investments in BlackRock Liquidity Series, LLC, Money Market Series (the “Money Market Series”) at fair value, which is ordinarily based upon its pro rata ownership in the underlying fund’s net assets. The Money Market Series seeks current income consistent with maintaining liquidity and preserving capital. Although the Money Market Series is not registered under the 1940 Act, its investments will follow the parameters of investments by a money market fund that is subject to Rule 2a-7 under the 1940 Act. The Series may withdraw up to 25% of its investment daily, although the manager of the Money Market Series, in its sole discretion, may permit an investor to withdraw more than 25% on any one day.
In the event that the application of these methods of valuation results in a price for an investment that is deemed not to be representative of the market value of such investment, or if a price is not available, the investment will be valued by the Global Valuation Committee, or its delegate, in accordance with a policy approved by the Board as reflecting fair value (“Fair Value Investments”). When determining the price for Fair Value Investments, the Global Valuation Committee, or its delegate, seeks to determine the price that the Series might reasonably expect to receive from the current sale of that asset in an arm’s-length transaction. Fair value determinations shall be based upon all available factors that the Global Valuation Committee, or its delegate, deems relevant consistent with the principles of fair value measurement, which include the market approach, income approach and/or in the case of recent investments, the cost approach, as appropriate. The market approach generally consists of using comparable market transactions. The income approach generally is used to discount future cash flows to present value and is adjusted for liquidity as appropriate. These factors include but are not limited to: (i) attributes specific to the investment or asset; (ii) the principal market for the investment or asset; (iii) the customary participants in the principal market for the investment or asset; (iv) data assumptions by market participants for the investment or asset, if reasonably available; (v) quoted prices for similar investments or assets in active markets; and (vi) other factors, such as future cash flows, interest rates, yield curves, volatilities, prepayment speeds, loss severities, credit risks, recovery rates, liquidation amounts and/or default rates. Due to the inherent uncertainty of valuations of such investments, the fair values may differ from the values that would have been used had an active market existed. The Global Valuation Committee, or its delegate, employs various methods for calibrating valuation approaches for investments where an active market does not exist, including regular due diligence of the Series' pricing vendors, regular reviews of key inputs and assumptions, transactional back-testing or disposition analysis to compare unrealized gains and losses to realized gains and losses, reviews of missing or stale prices and large movements in market values and reviews of any market related activity. The pricing of all Fair Value Investments is subsequently reported to the Board or a committee thereof on a quarterly basis.
Segregation and Collateralization: In cases where the Series enters into certain investments (e.g., financial futures contracts) that would be “senior securities” for 1940 Act purposes, the Series may segregate or designate on its books and records cash or liquid securities having a market value at least equal to the amount of the Series’ future obligations under such investments or borrowings. Doing so allows the investment to be excluded from treatment as a “senior security.” Furthermore, if required by an exchange or counterparty agreement, the Series may be required to deliver/deposit cash and/or securities to/with an exchange, or broker-dealer or custodian as collateral for certain investments or obligations.
Investment Transactions and Investment Income: For financial reporting purposes, investment transactions are recorded on the dates the transactions are entered into (the trade dates). Realized gains and losses on investment transactions are determined on the identified cost basis. Dividend income is
| QUANTITATIVE MASTER SERIES LLC | December 31, 2014 |
Notes to Financial Statements (continued) | Master Extended Market Index Series |
recorded on the ex-dividend date. Upon notification from issuers, some of the dividend income received from a real estate investment trust may be redesignated as a reduction of cost of the related investment and/or realized gain.
Recent Accounting Standard: In June 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued guidance to improve the financial reporting of reverse repurchase agreements and other similar transactions. The guidance will require expanded disclosure for entities that enter into reverse repurchase agreements and similar transactions accounted for as secured borrowings. It is effective for financial statements with fiscal years beginning on or after December 15, 2014 and interim periods within those fiscal years. Management is evaluating the impact, if any, of this guidance on the Series’ financial statement disclosures.
Other: Expenses directly related to the Series are charged to the Series. Other operating expenses shared by several funds are prorated among those funds on the basis of relative net assets or other appropriate methods.
The Series has an arrangement with the custodian whereby fees may be reduced by credits earned on uninvested cash balances, which, if applicable, are shown as fees paid indirectly in the Statement of Operations. The custodian imposes fees on overdrawn cash balances, which can be offset by accumulated credits earned or may result in additional custody charges.
3. Securities and Other Investments:
Securities Lending: The Series may lend its securities to approved borrowers, such as brokers, dealers and other financial institutions. The borrower pledges and maintains with the Series collateral consisting of cash, an irrevocable letter of credit issued by a bank, or securities issued or guaranteed by the U.S. government. The initial collateral received by the Series is required to have a value of at least 102% of the current value of the loaned securities for securities traded on U.S. exchanges and a value of at least 105% for all other securities. The collateral is maintained thereafter, at a value equal to at least 100% of the current market value of the securities on loan. The market value of the loaned securities is determined at the close of each business day of the Series and any additional required collateral is delivered to the Series on the next business day. During the term of the loan, the Series is entitled to all distributions made on or in respect of the loaned securities. Loans of securities are terminable at any time and the borrower, after notice, is required to return borrowed securities within the standard time period for settlement of securities transactions.
The market value of securities on loan and the value of the related collateral are shown separately in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities as a component of investments at value - unaffiliated, and collateral on securities loaned at value, respectively. As of December 31, 2014, any securities on loan were collateralized by cash. The cash collateral invested by the securities lending agent, BlackRock Investment Management, LLC (“BIM”), if any, is disclosed in the Schedule of Investments.
Securities lending transactions are entered into by the Series under Master Securities Lending Agreements (each, an “MSLA”), which provide the right, in the event of default (including bankruptcy or insolvency), for the non-defaulting party to liquidate the collateral and calculate a net exposure to the defaulting party or request additional collateral. In the event that a borrower defaults, the Series, as lender, would offset the market value of the collateral received against the market value of the securities loaned. When the value of the collateral is greater than that of the market value of the securities loaned, the lender is left with a net amount payable to the defaulting party. However, bankruptcy or insolvency laws of a particular jurisdiction may impose restrictions on or prohibitions against such a right of offset in the event of an MSLA counterparty’s bankruptcy or insolvency. Under the MSLA, the borrower can resell or re-pledge the loaned securities, and the Series can reinvest cash collateral, or, upon an event of default, resell or re-pledge the collateral.
As of December 31, 2014, the following table is a summary of the Series’ securities lending agreements by counterparty, which are subject to offset under an MSLA:
Counterparty | | Securities Loaned at Value | | Cash Collateral Received1 | | Net Amount |

Notes to Financial Statements (continued) | Master Extended Market Index Series |
The risks of securities lending include the risk that the borrower may not provide additional collateral when required or may not return the securities when due. To mitigate these risks, the Series benefits from a borrower default indemnity provided by BIM. BIM’s indemnity allows for full replacement of the securities lent if the collateral received does not cover the value on the securities loaned in the event of a borrower default. The Series could suffer a loss if the value of an investment purchased with cash collateral falls below the market value of loaned securities or if the value of an investment purchased with cash collateral falls below the value of the original cash collateral received.
4. Derivative Financial Instruments:
The Series engages in various portfolio investment strategies using derivative contracts both to increase the returns of the Series and/or to economically hedge its exposure to certain risks such as equity risk. These contracts may be transacted on an exchange or over-the-counter.
Financial Futures Contracts: The Series purchases and/or sells financial futures contracts and options on financial futures contracts to gain exposure to, or economically hedge against, changes in the value of equity securities (equity risk). Financial futures contracts are agreements between the Series and a counterparty to buy or sell a specific quantity of an underlying instrument at a specified price and at a specified date. Depending on the terms of the particular contract, financial futures contracts are settled either through physical delivery of the underlying instrument on the settlement date or by payment of a cash settlement amount on the settlement date.
Upon entering into a financial futures contract, the Series is required to deposit initial margin with the broker in the form of cash or securities in an amount that varies depending on a contract’s size and risk profile. The initial margin deposit must then be maintained at an established level over the life of the contract. Securities deposited as initial margin are designated on the Schedule of Investments and cash deposited, if any, is recorded on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities as cash pledged for financial futures contracts. Pursuant to the contract, the Series agrees to receive from or pay to the broker an amount of cash equal to the daily fluctuation in value of the contract. Such receipts or payments are known as variation margin. Variation margin is recorded by the Series as unrealized appreciation or depreciation and, if applicable, as a receivable or payable for variation margin in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities.
When the contract is closed, the Series records a realized 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. The use of financial futures contracts involves the risk of an imperfect correlation in the movements in the price of financial futures contracts, interest or foreign currency exchange rates and the underlying assets.
The following is a summary of the Series’ derivative financial instruments categorized by risk exposure:
Fair Values of Derivative Financial Instruments as of December 31, 2014 |
| | Value |
| Statement of Assets and Liabilities Location | Derivative Assets |
Equity contracts | Net unrealized appreciation1 | $370,435 |
| |
| 1 | Includes cumulative appreciation/depreciation on financial futures contracts as reported in the Schedule of Investments. Only current day’s variation margin is reported within the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. The Effect of Derivative Financial Instruments in the Statement of Operations Year Ended December 31, 2014 |
| | |
| Net Realized Gain From | | Net Change in Unrealized Appreciation/Depreciation on |
Equity contracts: | | | |
Financial futures contracts | $2,090,176 | | $(516,772) |
| | | |
For the year ended December 31, 2014, the average quarterly balances of outstanding derivative financial instruments were as follows:
Financial futures contracts: |
| | Average notional value of contracts purchased | $16,065,658 | |
| | | | |
Counterparty Credit Risk: A derivative contract may suffer a mark-to-market loss if the value of the contract decreases due to an unfavorable change in the market rates or values of the underlying instrument. Losses can also occur if the counterparty does not perform under the contract.
With exchange traded futures there is less counterparty credit risk to the Series since the exchange or clearinghouse, as counterparty to such instruments, guarantees against a possible default. The clearinghouse stands between the buyer and the seller of the contract; therefore, credit risk is
| QUANTITATIVE MASTER SERIES LLC | December 31, 2014 |
Notes to Financial Statements (continued) | Master Extended Market Index Series |
limited to failure of the clearinghouse. While offset rights may exist under applicable law, the Series does not have a contractual right of offset against a clearing broker or clearinghouse in the event of a default (including the bankruptcy or insolvency) of the clearing broker or clearinghouse. Additionally, credit risk exists in exchange-traded futures with respect to initial and variation margin that is held in a clearing broker’s customer accounts. While clearing brokers are required to segregate customer margin from their own assets, in the event that a clearing broker becomes insolvent or goes into bankruptcy and at that time there is a shortfall in the aggregate amount of margin held by the clearing broker for all its clients, typically the shortfall would be allocated on a pro rata basis across all the clearing broker’s customers, potentially resulting in losses to the Series.
5. Investment Advisory Agreement and Other Transactions with Affiliates:
The PNC Financial Services Group, Inc. is the largest stockholder and an affiliate, for 1940 Act purposes, of BlackRock, Inc. (“BlackRock”).
The Master LLC, on behalf of the Series, entered into an Investment Advisory Agreement with BlackRock Advisors, LLC (the “Manager”), the Series’ investment advisor, an indirect, wholly owned subsidiary of BlackRock, to provide investment advisory services. The Manager is responsible for the management of the Series’ portfolio and provides the necessary personnel, facilities, equipment and certain other services necessary to the operations of the Series. For such services, the Series pays the Manager a monthly fee at an annual rate of 0.01% of the Series’ average daily net assets.
The Manager voluntarily agreed to waive its investment advisory fees by the amount of investment advisory fees the Series pays to the Manager indirectly through its investment in affiliated money market funds. However, the Manager does not waive its investment advisory fees by the amount of investment advisory fees paid in connection with the Series’ investment in other affiliated investment companies, if any. This amount is shown as fees waived by Manager in the Statement of Operations. For the year ended December 31, 2014 the fees waived were $15,158.
Prior to July 1, 2014, BIM, an affiliate of the Manager, served as a sub-advisor to the Series pursuant to a sub-advisory agreement with the Manager, and received for its services a monthly fee from the Manager at an annual rate equal to a percentage of the investment advisory fees paid by the Series to the Manager under the Investment Advisory Agreement. Effective July 1, 2014, the sub-advisory agreement between the Manager and BIM, with respect to the Series, expired.
For the year ended December 31, 2014, the Series reimbursed the Manager $6,728 for certain accounting services, which is included in accounting services in the Statement of Operations.
The Manager contractually agreed to waive and/or reimburse fees or expenses in order to limit expenses, excluding interest expense, dividend expense, acquired fund fees and expenses and certain other fund expenses, which constitute extraordinary expenses not incurred in the ordinary course of the Series’ business. The expense limitation as a percentage of average daily net assets is 0.12%. The Manager has agreed not to reduce or discontinue this contractual waiver or reimbursement prior to May 1, 2015 unless approved by the Board, including a majority of the Independent Directors. There were no fees waived and/or reimbursed by the Manager for the year ended December 31, 2014.
The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission has issued an exemptive order which permits BIM, an affiliate of the Manager, to serve as securities lending agent for the Series, subject to applicable conditions. As securities lending agent, BIM bears all operational costs directly related to securities lending. The Series is responsible for expenses in connection with the investment of cash collateral received for securities on loan (the “collateral investment expenses”). The cash collateral is invested in a private investment company managed by the Manager or its affiliates. However, BIM has agreed to cap the collateral investment expenses of the private investment company to an annual rate of 0.04%. The investment advisor to the private investment company will not charge any advisory fees with respect to shares purchased by the Series.
Securities lending income is equal to the total of income earned from the reinvestment of cash collateral, net of fees and other payments to and from borrowers of securities, and less the collateral investment expenses. The Series retains a portion of securities lending income and remits a remaining portion to BIM as compensation for its services as securities lending agent. Pursuant to a securities lending agreement effective February 1, 2014, BIM may lend securities only when the difference between the borrower rebate rate and the risk free rate exceeds a certain level (such securities, the “specials only securities”).
Pursuant to such agreement, the Series retains 80% of securities lending income. In addition, commencing the business day following the date that the aggregate securities lending income earned across the Equity-Liquidity Complex in a calendar year exceeds the aggregate securities lending income earned across the Equity-Liquidity Complex through the lending of specials only securities in the calendar year 2013, the Series, pursuant to the securities lending agreement, will retain for the remainder of the calendar year securities lending income in an amount equal to 85% of securities lending income. Prior to February 1, 2014, the Series retained 65% of securities lending income and paid a fee to BIM equal to 35% of such income. The share of securities lending income earned by the Series is shown as securities lending — affiliated – net in the Statement of Operations. For the year ended December 31, 2014, the Series paid BIM $152,730 for securities lending agent services.
Certain officers and/or directors of the Master LLC are officers and/or directors of BlackRock or its affiliates.

Notes to Financial Statements (continued) | Master Extended Market Index Series |
6. Purchases and Sales:
For the year ended December 31, 2014, purchases and sales of investments, excluding short-term securities were $ 84,676,042 and $ 61,812,044, respectively.
7. Income Tax Information:
The Series is classified as a partnership for federal income tax purposes. As such, each investor in the Series is treated as the owner of its proportionate share of net assets, income, expenses and realized and unrealized gains and losses of the Series. Therefore, no federal income tax provision is required.
It is intended that the Series’ assets will be managed so an investor in the Series can satisfy the requirements of Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended.
The Series files U.S. federal and various state and local tax returns. No income tax returns are currently under examination. The statute of limitations on the Series' U.S. federal tax returns remains open for each of the four years ended December 31, 2014. The statutes of limitations on the Series' state and local tax returns may remain open for an additional year depending upon the jurisdiction.
Management has analyzed tax laws and regulations and their application to the Series’ facts and circumstances and does not believe that there are any uncertain tax positions that require recognition of a tax liability.
As of December 31, 2014, gross unrealized appreciation and depreciation based on cost for federal income tax purposes were as follows: |
Tax cost | | $ | 415,994,387 |
Gross unrealized appreciation | | $ | 279,412,313 |
Gross unrealized depreciation | | | (27,530,880) |
Net unrealized appreciation | | $ | 251,881,433 |
| | | |
8. Bank Borrowings:
The Master LLC, on behalf of the Series, along with certain other funds managed by the Manager and its affiliates (“Participating Funds”), was a party to a 364-day, $1.1 billion credit agreement with a group of lenders, under which the Fund may borrow to fund shareholder redemptions. Excluding commitments designated for a certain individual fund, the Participating Funds, including the Fund, could borrow up to an aggregate commitment amount of $650 million, subject to asset coverage and other limitations as specified in the agreement. Effective November 25, 2014, the credit agreement was amended to an aggregate commitment amount of $2.1 billion, of which the Participating Funds, including the Fund, can borrow up to $1.6 billion at any time outstanding, subject to asset coverage and other limitations as specified in the agreement. The agreement terminates on April 23, 2015, unless otherwise extended to November 24, 2015 or renewed for a period of 364 days from April 23, 2015. The amended agreement has the following terms: a fee of 0.06% per annum on unused commitment amounts and interest at a rate equal to the higher of (a) one month LIBOR (but in any event, not less than 0.00%) on the date the loan is made plus 0.80% per annum or (b) the Fed Funds rate (but in any event, not less than 0.00%) in effect from time to time plus 0.80% per annum on amounts borrowed.. Participating Funds paid administration, legal and arrangement fees, which are included in miscellaneous expenses in the Statement of Operations, and along with commitment fees, were allocated among such funds based upon portions of the aggregate commitment available to them and relative net assets of Participating Funds. During the year ended December 31, 2014, the Fund did not borrow under the credit agreement.
9. Principal Risks:
In the normal course of business, the Series invests in securities and enters into transactions where risks exist due to fluctuations in the market (market risk) or failure of the issuer of a security to meet all its obligations (issuer credit risk). The value of securities held by the Series may decline in response to certain events, including those directly involving the issuers whose securities are owned by the Series; conditions affecting the general economy; overall market changes; local, regional or global political, social or economic instability; and currency and interest rate and price fluctuations. Similar to issuer credit risk, the Series may be exposed to counterparty credit risk, or the risk that an entity with which the Series has unsettled or open transactions may fail to or be unable to perform on its commitments. The Series manages counterparty credit risk by entering into transactions only with counterparties that it believes have the financial resources to honor their obligations and by monitoring the financial stability of those counterparties. Financial assets, which potentially expose the Series to market, issuer and counterparty credit risks, consist principally of financial instruments and receivables due from counterparties. The extent of the Series' exposure to market, issuer and counterparty credit risks with respect to these financial assets is generally approximated by their value recorded in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities, less any collateral held by the Series.
As of December 31, 2014, the Series invested a significant portion of its assets in securities in the financials sector. Changes in economic conditions affecting the financials sector would have a greater impact on the Series and could affect the value, income and/or liquidity of positions in such securities.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Shareholders of Master Extended Market Index Series and Board of Directors of
Quantitative Master Series LLC:
We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities, including the schedule of investments, of Master Extended Market Index Series, one of the series constituting Quantitative Master Series LLC (the “Series”) as of December 31, 2014, and the related statement of operations for the year then ended, the statement of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended. These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Series’ management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and financial highlights based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and financial highlights are free of material misstatement. The Series is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Series’ internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of December 31, 2014, by correspondence with the custodian and brokers; where replies were not received from brokers, we performed other auditing procedures. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Master Extended Market Index Series of Quantitative Master Series LLC as of December 31, 2014, the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

The designation or identification of a person as an audit committee financial expert does not impose on such person any duties, obligations, or liabilities greater than the duties, obligations, and liabilities imposed on such person as a member of the audit committee and board of directors in the absence of such designation or identification.

The following table presents fees billed by Deloitte & Touche LLP (“D&T”) in each of the last two fiscal years for the services rendered to the Fund:

| Current Fiscal Year End | Previous Fiscal Year End |
(b) Audit-Related Fees1 | $0 | $0 |

(e)(1) Audit Committee Pre-Approval Policies and Procedures:
The Committee has adopted policies and procedures with regard to the pre-approval of services. Audit, audit-related and tax compliance services provided to the registrant on an annual basis require specific pre-approval by the Committee. The Committee also must approve other non-audit services provided to the registrant and those non-audit services provided to the Investment Adviser and Fund Service Providers that relate directly to the operations and the financial reporting of the registrant. Certain of these non-audit services that the Committee believes are (a) consistent with the SEC’s auditor independence rules and (b) routine and recurring services that will not impair the independence of the independent accountants may be approved by the Committee without consideration on a specific case-by-case basis (“general pre-approval”). The term of any general pre-approval is 12 months from the date of the pre-approval, unless the Committee provides for a different period. Tax or other non-audit services provided to the registrant which have a direct impact on the operations or financial reporting of the registrant will only be deemed pre-approved provided that any individual project does not exceed $10,000 attributable to the registrant or $50,000 per project. For this purpose, multiple projects will be aggregated to determine if they exceed the previously mentioned cost levels.
| | Any proposed services exceeding the pre-approved cost levels will require specific pre-approval by the Committee, as will any other services not subject to general pre-approval (e.g., unanticipated but permissible services). The Committee is informed of each service approved subject to general pre-approval at the next regularly scheduled in-person board meeting. At this meeting, an analysis of such services is presented to the Committee for ratification. The Committee may delegate to the Committee Chairman the authority to approve the provision of and fees for any specific engagement of permitted non-audit services, including services exceeding pre-approved cost levels.
(e)(2) None of the services described in each of Items 4(b) through (d) were approved by the Committee pursuant to the de minimus exception in paragraph (c)(7)(i)(C) of Rule 2-01 of Regulation S-X.
(f) Not Applicable
(g) The aggregate non-audit fees paid to the accountant for services rendered by the accountant to the registrant, the Investment Adviser and the Fund Service Providers were: |
Entity Name | Current Fiscal Year End | Previous Fiscal Year End |
Master Extended Market Index Series of Quantitative Master Series LLC | $13,000 | $13,000 |
| | Additionally, SSAE 16 Review (Formerly, SAS No. 70) fees for the current and previous fiscal years of $2,555,000 and $2,865,000, respectively, were billed by D&T to the Investment Adviser. |
| | (h) The Committee has considered and determined that the provision of non-audit services that were rendered to the Investment Adviser and the Fund Service Providers that were not pre-approved pursuant to paragraph (c)(7)(ii) of Rule 2-01 of Regulation S-X is compatible with maintaining the principal accountant’s independence. |
Item 5 – Audit Committee of Listed Registrants – Not Applicable
