Master Enhanced S&P 500 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 as an investment company 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 in the Master LLC, subject to certain limitations. The Series’ financial statements are prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“US GAAP”), which may require management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by the Series:
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 Fund 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.
Securities and other assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into US dollars using exchange rates determined as of the close of business on the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”). Foreign currency exchange contracts are valued at the mean between the bid and ask prices and are determined as of the close of business on the NYSE. Interpolated values are derived when the settlement date of the contract is an interim date for which quotations are not available.
In the event that application of these methods of valuation results in a price for an investment which 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 in accordance with a policy approved by the Board as reflecting fair value (“Fair Value Assets”). When determining the price for Fair Value Assets, the investment advisor and/or the sub-advisor 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 investment advisor and/or sub-advisor deems relevant. The pricing of all Fair Value Assets is subsequently reported to the Board or a committee thereof.
The Series does not isolate the portion of the results of operations arising as a result of changes in the foreign exchange rates from the changes in the market prices of investments held or sold for financial reporting purposes. Accordingly, the effects of changes in foreign currency exchange rates on investments are not segregated on the Statement of Operations from the effects of changes in market prices of those investments but are included as a component of net realized and unrealized gain (loss) from investments. The Series reports realized currency gains (losses) on foreign currency related transactions as components of net realized gain (loss) for financial reporting purposes, whereas such components are treated as ordinary income for federal income tax purposes.

securities and the resulting gains and losses were recognized based on the market value of the securities on the date of the transfer. For tax purposes, no gains or losses were recognized. Gains and losses resulting from such redemptions-in-kind are shown as redemption-in-kind transactions in the Statements of Operations.
Securities Lending: The Series may lend securities to approved borrowers, such as banks, brokers and other financial institutions. The borrower pledges cash, securities issued or guaranteed by the US government or irrevocable letters of credit issued by a bank as collateral, which will be maintained at all times in an amount equal to at least 100% of the current market value of the loaned securities. The market value of the loaned securities is determined at the close of business of the Series and any additional required collateral is delivered to the Series on the next business day. Securities lending income, as disclosed in the Statement of Operations, represents the income earned from the investment of the cash collateral, net of rebates paid to, or fees paid by, borrowers and less the fees paid to the securities lending agent. During the term of the loan, the Series earns dividend and interest on the securities loaned but does not receive dividend or interest income on the securities received as collateral. 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. In the event that the borrower defaults on its obligation to return borrowed securities because of insolvency or for any other reason, the Series could experience delays and costs in gaining access to the collateral. The Series also 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.
Income Taxes: 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.
The Series files US federal and various state and local tax returns. No income tax returns are currently under examination. The statute of limitations on the Series’ US federal tax returns remains open for each of the four years ended December 31, 2011. The statutes of limitations on the Series’ state and local tax returns may remain open for an additional year depending upon the jurisdiction. Management does not believe there are any uncertain tax positions that require recognition of a tax liability.
Recent Accounting Standard: In May 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the “FASB”) issued amended guidance to improve disclosure about fair value measurements which will require the following disclosures for fair value measurements categorized as Level 3: quantitative information about the unobservable inputs and assumptions used in the fair value measurement, a description of the valuation policies and procedures and a narrative description of the sensitivity of the fair value measurement to changes in unobservable inputs and the interrelationships between those unobservable inputs. In addition, the amounts and reasons for all transfers in and out of Level 1 and Level 2 will be required to be disclosed. The amended guidance is effective for financial statements for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2011, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Management is evaluating the impact of this guidance on the Series’ financial statement disclosures.
In December 2011, the FASB issued guidance that will enhance current disclosure requirements on the offsetting of certain assets and liabilities. The new disclosures will be required for investments and derivative financial instruments subject to master netting agreements or similar agreements and will require an entity to disclose both gross and net information about such investments and transactions eligible for offset in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. The guidance is effective for financial statements with fiscal years beginning on or after January 1, 2013, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Management is evaluating the impact 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 pro rated 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.
2. Derivative Financial Instruments:
The Series engages in various portfolio investment strategies using derivative contracts both to increase the returns of the Series and to economically hedge, or protect, its exposure to certain risks such as equity risk or foreign currency exchange rate risk. These contracts may be transacted on an exchange.
Losses may arise if the value of the contract decreases due to an unfavorable change in the market rates or values of the underlying instrument or if the counterparty does not perform under the contract. Counterparty risk related to exchange-traded financial futures contracts is deemed to be minimal due to the protection against defaults provided by the exchange on which these contracts trade.
Foreign Currency Exchange Contracts: The Series enters into foreign currency exchange contracts as an economic hedge against either specific transactions or portfolio instruments or to obtain exposure to foreign currencies (foreign currency exchange rate risk). A foreign currency exchange contract is an agreement between two parties to buy and sell a currency at a set exchange rate on a future date. Foreign currency exchange contracts, when used by the Series, help to manage the overall exposure to the currencies, in which some of the investments held by the Series are denominated. The contract is marked-to-market daily and the change in market value is recorded by the Series as an unrealized gain or loss.When the contract is closed, the Series records a realized gain or loss equal to the difference between the value at the time it was opened and the value at the time it was closed. The use of foreign currency exchange contracts involves the risk that the value of a foreign currency exchange contract changes unfavorably due to movements in the value of the referenced foreign currencies and the risk that a counterparty to the contract does not perform its obligations under the agreement.

Financial Futures Contracts: The Series purchases 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 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, 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. 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 margin variation and are recorded by the Series as unrealized appreciation or depreciation. 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 rates and the underlying assets.

3. Investment Advisory Agreement and Other Transactions with Affiliates:
The PNC Financial Services Group, Inc. (“PNC”) and Barclays Bank PLC (“Barclays”) are the largest stockholders of BlackRock, Inc. (“BlackRock”). Due to the ownership structure, PNC is an affiliate for 1940 Act purposes, but Barclays is not.
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 and administration 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, or included in, fees waived by advisor in the Statement of Operations.
The Manager entered into a sub-advisory agreement with BlackRock Investment Management LLC (“BIM”), an affiliate of the Manager. The Manager pays BIM, for services it provides, a monthly fee that is a percentage of the investment advisory fees paid by the Series to the Manager.
For the year ended December 31, 2011, the Series reimbursed the Manager $12,602 for certain accounting services, which is included in accounting services in the Statement of Operations.
The Master LLC, on behalf of Series, received an exemptive order from the SEC permitting it, among other things, to pay an affiliated securities lending agent a fee based on a share of the income derived from the securities lending activities and has retained BIM as the securities lending agent. BIM may, on behalf of the Series, invest cash collateral received by the Series for such loans, among other things, in a private investment company managed by the Manager or in registered money market funds advised by the Manager or its affiliates. As securities lending agent, BIM is responsible for all transaction fees and all other operational costs relating to securities lending activities, other than extraordinary expenses. BIM does not receive any fees for managing the cash collateral. The market value of securities on loan and the value of the related collateral, if applicable, are shown in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities as securities loaned at value and collateral on securities loaned at value, respectively. The cash collateral invested by BIM is disclosed in the Schedule of Investments. Securities lending income is equal to the total of income earned from the reinvestment of cash collateral, net of rebates paid to, or fees paid by, borrowers of securities. The Series retains 65% of securities lending income and pays a fee to BIM equal to 35% of such income. The share of income earned by the Series on such investments is shown as securities lending — affiliated in the Statement of Operations. For the year ended December 31, 2011, BIM received $4,691 in securities lending agent fees related to securities lending activities for the Series.
Certain officers and/or directors of the Master LLC are officers and/or directors of BlackRock or its affiliates.
4. Investments:
Purchases and sales of investments, excluding short-term securities, for the year ended December 31, 2011, were $1,735,015,738 and $1,774,259,727, including $1,007,527,054 sales representing redemptions in-kind, respectively.

5. Borrowings:
The Master LLC, on behalf of the Series, along with certain other funds managed by the Manager and its affiliates, is a party to a $500 million credit agreement with a group of lenders, which expired in November 2011. The Series may borrow under the credit agreement to fund shareholder redemptions. Effective November 2010, the credit agreement had the following terms: a commitment fee of 0.08% per annum based on the Series’ pro rata share of the unused portion of the credit agreement and interest at a rate equal to the higher of (a) the one-month LIBOR (“London Interbank Offered Rate”) plus 1.00% per annum or (b) the Fed Funds rate plus 1.00% per annum on amounts borrowed. In addition, the Series paid administration and arrangement fees which were allocated to the Series based on its net assets as of October 31, 2010. Effective November 2011, the credit agreement was renewed until November 2012 with the following terms: a commitment fee of 0.065% per annum based on the Series’ pro rata share of the unused portion of the credit agreement and interest at a rate equal to the higher of (a) the one-month LIBOR plus 0.80% per annum or (b) the Fed Funds rate plus 0.80% per annum on amounts borrowed. In addition, the Series paid administration and arrangement fees which were allocated to the Series based on its net assets as of October 31, 2011. The Series did not borrow under the credit agreement during the year ended December 31, 2011.
6. Concentration, Market and Credit Risk:
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 Series’ Statement of Assets and Liabilities, less any collateral held by the Series.
7. Subsequent Events:
Management has evaluated the impact of all subsequent events on the Series through the date the financial statements were issued and has determined that there were no subsequent events requiring adjustment or additional disclosure in the financial statements.

These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Master LLC’s 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 Master LLC 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 Master LLC’s 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, 2011, by correspondence with the custodian and brokers. 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 Enhanced S&P 500 Series, one of the portfolios constituting Quantitative Master Series LLC, as of December 31, 2011, 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.

Master Extended Market Index Series of Quantitative Master Series LLC |
Annual Report, December 31, 2011 |
PORTFOLIO MANAGEMENT COMMENTARY
How did the Series perform?
| | |
| • | During the 12 months ended December 31, 2011, Master Extended Market Index Series (the “Series”), a series of Quantitative Master Series LLC, returned (3.55)%, while the benchmark Dow Jones U.S. Completion Total Stock Market IndexSM (the “Benchmark Index”) returned (3.76)% for the same period. |
Describe the market environment.
| | |
| • | Early in the year, stocks moved unevenly higher despite political upheaval spreading across the Middle East/North Africa region and a sharp rise in oil and other commodity prices. March brought devastating natural disasters in Japan, resulting in global supply chain disruptions. But equity markets were remarkably resilient as the global economic recovery appeared to be on track and investors were gradually increasing their appetite for risk. After peaking in late April, equities were met with a sharp reversal when the heightened possibility of Greece defaulting on its debt rekindled fears about the potential impact of the sovereign debt crisis spreading in Europe. In the United States, a prolonged debt ceiling debate ultimately led to Standard & Poor’s decision to downgrade the US government’s credit rating in early August. This announcement spurred one of the most volatile periods in trading history. Stock markets across the world whipsawed on hopes and fears driven by news flow. Equities swooned as debt problems in Europe spread to Italy and Spain, and global economic indicators grew increasingly bleak. |
| | |
| • | US stocks staged a strong rebound in October as the domestic labor market improved and corporate profits continued to beat analyst expectations. Encouraging news from Europe also contributed to the rally. After months of deliberation, European leaders agreed upon a new plan to reduce Greece’s debt burden, recapitalize the region’s banks and increase the size of the euro-zone bailout fund. However, a lack of definitive details about the rescue plan soon raised doubts among investors and thwarted the rally at the end of October. In November, political instability in Greece and Italy fueled uncertainty as to whether Europe’s leaders would be able to contain the crisis. In the United States, bickering lawmakers failed to reach an agreement on reducing the US budget deficit, further undermining investors’ confidence in policymakers on both sides of the Atlantic. Market volatility softened in December with the support of global central bank actions and continued improvement in economic data. |
| | |
| • | For the year, US stocks outperformed most international markets given their relative safety during a time of heightened uncertainty overseas. Dividend-paying stocks performed particularly well as investors sought yield in a low interest rate environment. From a sector perspective, utilities (+15.10%) led the index for 2011. The defensive consumer staples sector (+13.57%) performed well amid high volatility and health care stocks performed positively (+1.12%) from increased merger and acquisition activity during the year. Telecommunications services (-12.75%) and information technology (-9.32%) were the most challenged. The more cyclical materials (-7.36%) and industrials (-6.59%) sectors also declined amid heightened uncertainty about the global economy. |
Describe recent portfolio activity.
| | |
| • | During the 12-month 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 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 rating group indexes, and/or as defined by Series management.

Derivative Financial Instruments |
The Series may invest in various derivative financial instruments, including financial futures contracts, as specified in Note 2 of the Notes to Financial Statements, which constitute forms of economic leverage. Such derivative financial instruments are used to obtain exposure to a market without owning or taking physical custody of securities or to hedge market and/or equity risks. Derivative financial instruments 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 require the Series to sell or purchase portfolio investments at inopportune times or for distressed values, may limit the amount of appreciation the Series can realize on an investment or may cause the Series to hold an investment that it might otherwise sell. The Series’ investments in these instruments are discussed in detail in the Notes to Financial Statements.

| • | 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 in or out of an assigned level within the disclosure hierarchy. 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 does not necessarily correspond to the Series’ perceived risk of investing in those securities. For information about the Series’ policy regarding valuation of investments and derivative financial instruments and other significant accounting policies, please refer to Note 1 of the Notes to Financial Statements. |

Notes to Financial Statements | Master Extended Market Index Series |
1. Organization and Significant Accounting Policies:
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 as an investment company 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 in the Master LLC, subject to certain limitations. The Series’ financial statements are prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“US GAAP”), which may require management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by the Series:
Valuation: US 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 fair values its financial instruments at market value using independent dealers or pricing services under policies approved by the Board. Equity investments traded on a recognized securities exchange or the NASDAQ Global Market System (“NASDAQ”) are valued at the last reported sale price that day or the NASDAQ official closing price, if applicable. For equity investments traded on more than one exchange, the last reported sale 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 are valued at the last available bid (long positions) or ask (short positions) price. If no bid or ask price is available, the prior day’s price will be used, unless it is determined that such prior day’s price no longer reflects the fair value of the security. Financial futures contracts traded on exchanges are valued at their last sale price. Investments in open-end registered investment companies are valued at net asset value each business day. Short-term securities with remaining maturities of 60 days or less may be valued at amortized cost, which approximates fair value.
The Series values its bond investments on the basis of last available bid prices or current market quotations provided by dealers or pricing services. In determining the value of a particular investment, pricing services may use certain information with respect to transactions in such investments, quotations from dealers, pricing matrixes, market transactions in comparable investments, various relationships observed in the market between investments and calculated yield measures.
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 application of these methods of valuation results in a price for an investment which 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 in accordance with a policy approved by the Board as reflecting fair value (“Fair Value Assets”). When determining the price for Fair Value Assets, the investment advisor and/or the sub-advisor 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 investment advisor and/or sub-advisor deems relevant. The pricing of all Fair Value Assets is subsequently reported to the Board or a committee thereof.
Segregation and Collateralization: In cases in which the 1940 Act and the interpretive positions of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) require that the Series either deliver collateral or segregate assets in connection with certain investments (e.g., financial futures contracts), the Series will, consistent with SEC rules and/or certain interpretive letters issued by the SEC, segregate collateral or designate on its books and records cash or liquid securities having a market value at least equal to the amount that would otherwise be required to be physically segregated. Furthermore, based on requirements and agreements with certain exchanges and third party broker-dealers, each party to such transactions has requirements to deliver/deposit securities as collateral for certain investments.
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 recorded on the ex-dividend dates. Dividends from foreign securities where the ex-dividend date may have passed are subsequently recorded when the Series is informed of the ex-dividend date. Under the applicable foreign tax laws, a withholding tax at various rates may be imposed on capital gains, dividends and interest. 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. Interest income, including amortization and accretion of premiums and discounts on debt securities, is recognized on the accrual basis.
Securities Lending: The Series may lend securities to approved borrowers, such as banks, brokers and other financial institutions. The borrower pledges cash, securities issued or guaranteed by the US government or irrevocable letters of credit issued by a bank as collateral, which will be maintained at all times in an amount equal to at least 100% of the current market value of the loaned securities. The market value of the loaned securities is determined at the close of business of the Series and any additional required collateral is delivered to the Series on the next business day. Securities lending income, as disclosed in the Statement of Operations, represents the income earned from the investment of the cash collateral, net of rebates paid to, or fees paid by, borrowers and less the fees paid to the securities lending agent. During the term of the loan, the Series earns dividend or interest income on the securities loaned but does not receive interest income on the securities received as collateral. 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. In the event that the borrower defaults on its obligation to return borrowed securities because of insolvency or for any other reason, the Series could experience delays and costs in gaining access to the collateral. The

| |
| |
Notes to Financial Statements (continued) | Master Extended Market Index Series |
Series also 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. During the year ended December 31, 2011, any securities on loan were collateralized by cash.
Income Taxes: 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 US federal and various state and local tax returns. No income tax returns are currently under examination. The statute of limitations on the Series’ US federal tax returns remains open for each of the four years ended December 31, 2011. The statutes of limitations on the Series’ state and local tax returns may remain open for an additional year depending upon the jurisdiction. Management does not believe there are any uncertain tax positions that require recognition of a tax liability.
Recent Accounting Standard: In May 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the “FASB”) issued amended guidance to improve disclosure about fair value measurements which will require the following disclosures for fair value measurements categorized as Level 3: quantitative information about the unobservable inputs and assumptions used in the fair value measurement, a description of the valuation policies and procedures and a narrative description of the sensitivity of the fair value measurement to changes in unobservable inputs and the interrelationships between those unobservable inputs. In addition, the amounts and reasons for all transfers in and out of Level 1 and Level 2 will be required to be disclosed. The amended guidance is effective for financial statements for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2011, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Management is evaluating the impact of this guidance on the Series’ financial statement disclosures.
In December 2011, the FASB issued guidance that will enhance current disclosure requirements on the offsetting of certain assets and liabilities. The new disclosures will be required for investments and derivative financial instruments subject to master netting agreements or similar agreements and will require an entity to disclose both gross and net information about such investments and transactions eligible for offset in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. The guidance is effective for financial statements with fiscal years beginning on or after January 1, 2013, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Management is evaluating the impact 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 pro rated 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.
2. Derivative Financial Instruments:
The Series engages in various portfolio investment strategies using derivative contracts both to increase the returns of the Series and to economically hedge, or protect, its exposure to certain risks such as equity risk. These contracts may be transacted on an exchange.
Losses may arise if the value of the contract decreases due to an unfavorable change in the market rates or values of the underlying instrument or if the counterparty does not perform under the contract. Counterparty risk related to exchange-traded financial futures contracts is deemed minimal due to the protection against defaults provided by the exchange on which these contracts trade.
Financial Futures Contracts: The Series purchases 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 the 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, 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. 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 margin variation and are recorded by the Series as unrealized appreciation or depreciation. 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 rates and the underlying assets.

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 and administration 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 entered into a contractual arrangement with the Master LLC with respect to the Series under which the Manager will waive and/or reimburse its fees and/or expenses so that the total annual operating expenses incurred by the Series (excluding dividend expense, interest expense, acquired fund fees and certain other Series’ expenses) will not exceed 0.12% of the average daily value of the Series’ 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, or included in, fees waived by advisor in the Statement of Operations.
The Manager entered into a sub-advisory agreement with BlackRock Investment Management, LLC (“BIM”), an affiliate of the Manager. The Manager pays BIM, for services it provides, a monthly fee that is a percentage of the investment advisory fees paid by the Series to the Manager.
For the year ended December 31, 2011, the Series reimbursed the Manager $5,172 for certain accounting services, which is included in accounting services in the Statement of Operations.
The Master LLC, on behalf of the Series, received an exemptive order from the SEC permitting it, among other things, to pay an affiliated securities lending agent a fee based on a share of the income derived from the securities lending activities and has retained BIM as the securities lending agent. BIM may, on behalf of the Series, invest cash collateral received by the Series for such loans, among other things, in a private investment company managed by the Manager or in registered money market funds advised by the Manager or its affiliates. As securities lending agent, BIM is responsible for all transaction fees and all other operational costs relating to securities lending activities, other than extraordinary expenses. BIM does not receive any fees for managing the cash collateral. The market value of securities on loan and the value of the related collateral, if applicable, are shown in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities as securities loaned at value and collateral on securities loaned at value, respectively. The cash collateral invested by BIM is disclosed in the Schedule of Investments. Securities lending income is equal to the total of income earned from the reinvestment of cash collateral, net of rebates paid to, or fees paid by, borrowers of securities. The Series retains 65% of securities lending income and pays a fee to BIM equal to 35% of such income. The share of income earned by the Series on such investments is shown as securities lending — affiliated in the Statement of Operations. For the year ended December 31, 2011, BIM received $112,809 in securities lending agent fees related to securities lending activities for the Series.
Certain officers and/or directors of the Master LLC are officers and/or directors of BlackRock or its affiliates.
4. Investments:
Purchases and sales of investments excluding short-term securities for the year ended December 31, 2011, were $84,326,975 and $55,489,579, respectively.
5. Borrowings:
The Master LLC, on behalf of the Series, along with certain other funds managed by the Manager and its affiliates, is a party to a $500 million credit agreement with a group of lenders, which expired in November 2011. The Series may borrow under the credit agreement to fund shareholder redemptions. Effective November 2010, the credit agreement had the following terms: a commitment fee of 0.08% per annum based on the Series’ pro rata share of the unused portion of the credit agreement and interest at a rate equal to the higher of (a) the one-month LIBOR plus 1.00% per annum or (b) the Fed Funds rate plus 1.00% per annum on amounts borrowed. In addition, the Series paid administration and arrangement fees which were allocated to the Series based on its net assets as of October 31, 2010. Effective November 2011, the credit agreement was renewed until November 2012 with the following terms: a commitment fee of 0.065% per annum based on the Series’ pro rata share of the unused portion of the credit agreement and interest at a rate equal to the higher of (a) the one-month LIBOR plus 0.80% per annum or (b) the Fed Funds rate plus 0.80% per annum on amounts borrowed. In addition, the Series paid administration and arrangement fees which were allocated to the Series based on its net assets as of October 31, 2011. The Series did not borrow under the credit agreement during the year ended December 31, 2011.

Notes to Financial Statements (concluded) | Master Extended Market Index Series |
6. Concentration, Market and Credit Risk:
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 Series’ Statement of Assets and Liabilities, less any collateral held by the Series.
As of December 31, 2011, 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.
7. Subsequent Events:
Management has evaluated the impact of all subsequent events on the Series through the date the financial statements were issued and has determined that there were no subsequent events requiring adjustment or additional disclosure in the financial statements.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Investors 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 portfolios constituting Quantitative Master Series LLC, (the “Master LLC”) as of December 31, 2011, and the related statement of operations for the year then ended, the statements 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 Master LLC’s 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 Master LLC 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 Master LLC’s 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, 2011, 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, one of the portfolios constituting Quantitative Master Series LLC, as of December 31, 2011, 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.

Master Mid Cap Index Series of Quantitative Master Series LLC |
Annual Report, December 31, 2011 |
PORTFOLIO MANAGEMENT COMMENTARY
How did the Series perform?
| | |
| • | For the 12 months ended December 31, 2011, Master Mid Cap Index Series (the “Series”), a series of Quantitative Master Series LLC, returned (1.80)%, while the benchmark Standard & Poor’s (“S&P”) MidCap 400® Index (the “Index”) returned (1.73)% for the same period. The Index is a market capitalization-weighted index composed of 400 common stocks issued by mid-capitalization companies in a wide range of industries. |
| | |
| • | The return for the Series includes Series expenses. The Index has no expenses associated with performance. |
Describe the market environment.
| | |
| • | Early in the year, stocks moved unevenly higher despite political upheaval spreading across the Middle East/North Africa region and a sharp rise in oil and other commodity prices. March brought devastating natural disasters in Japan, resulting in global supply chain disruptions. But equity markets were remarkably resilient as the global economic recovery appeared to be on track and investors were gradually increasing their appetite for risk. After peaking in late April, equities were met with a sharp reversal when the heightened possibility of Greece defaulting on its debt rekindled fears about the potential impact of the sovereign debt crisis spreading in Europe. In the United States, a prolonged debt ceiling debate ultimately led to S&P’s decision to downgrade the US government’s credit rating in early August. This announcement spurred one of the most volatile periods in trading history. Stock markets across the world whipsawed on hopes and fears driven by news flow. Equities swooned as debt problems in Europe spread to Italy and Spain, and global economic indicators grew increasingly bleak. |
| | |
| • | US stocks staged a strong rebound in October as the domestic labor market improved and corporate profits continued to beat analyst expectations. Encouraging news from Europe also contributed to the rally. After months of deliberation, European leaders agreed upon a new plan to reduce Greece’s debt burden, recapitalize the region’s banks and increase the size of the euro-zone bailout fund. However, a lack of definitive details about the rescue plan soon raised doubts among investors and thwarted the rally at the end of October. In November, political instability in Greece and Italy fueled uncertainty as to whether Europe’s leaders would be able to contain the crisis. In the United States, bickering lawmakers failed to reach an agreement on reducing the US budget deficit, further undermining investors’ confidence in policymakers on both sides of the Atlantic. Market volatility softened in December with the support of global central bank actions and continued improvement in economic data. |
| | |
| • | Mid cap stocks, as represented by the Index, declined 1.73% for the year. Stocks exhibiting more defensive characteristics outperformed the more cyclical areas of the market. The consumer staples (+22.16%) and utilities (+15.79%) sectors benefited from high market volatility and heightened uncertainty about economic growth. Information technology (“IT”) stocks (-11.54%) led the index decline, followed by telecommunication services (-9.76%) and energy (-9.09%). |
Describe recent portfolio activity.
| | |
| • | During the 12-month period, as changes were made to the composition of the 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 match the risk characteristics of its benchmark index, irrespective of the market’s future direction. |
The views expressed reflect the opinions of BlackRock as of the date of this report and are subject to change based on changes in market, economic or other conditions. These views are not intended to be a forecast of future events and are no guarantee of future results.

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 rating group indexes, and/or as defined by Series management. 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, including financial futures contracts, as specified in Note 2 of the Notes to Financial Statements, which constitute forms of economic leverage. Such derivative financial instruments are used to obtain exposure to a market without owning or taking physical custody of securities or to hedge market and/or equity risks. Derivative financial instruments 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, which cannot be assured. The use of derivative financial instruments may result in losses greater than if they had not been used, may require the Series to sell or purchase portfolio securities at inopportune times or for distressed values, may limit the amount of appreciation the Series can realize on an investment or may cause the Series to hold an investment that it might otherwise sell. 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 are categorized into a disclosure hierarchy consisting of three broad levels for financial statement purposes as follows: |
| |
| • | Level 1 — unadjusted price quotations in active markets/exchanges for identical assets and liabilities |
| | |
| • | 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 in or out of an assigned level within the disclosure hierarchy. 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 does not necessarily correspond to the Series’ perceived risk of investing in those securities. For information about the Series’ policy regarding valuation of investments and derivative financial instruments and other significant accounting policies, please refer to Note 1 of the Notes to Financial Statements. |

Notes to Financial Statements | Master Mid Cap Index Series |
1. Organization and Significant Accounting Policies:
Master Mid Cap 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 as an investment company 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 in the Master LLC, subject to certain limitations. The Series’ financial statements are prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“US GAAP”), which may require management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by the Series:
Valuation: US 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 fair values its financial instruments at market value using independent dealers or pricing services under policies approved by the Board. Equity investments traded on a recognized securities exchange or the NASDAQ Global Market System (“NASDAQ”) are valued at the last reported sale price that day or the NASDAQ official closing price, if applicable. For equity investments traded on more than one exchange, the last reported sale 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 are valued at the last available bid (long positions) or ask (short positions) price. If no bid or ask price is available, the prior day’s price will be used, unless it is determined that such prior day’s price no longer reflects the fair value of the security. Financial futures contracts traded on exchanges are valued at their last sale price. Investments in open-end registered investment companies are valued at NAV each business day. Short-term securities with remaining maturities of 60 days or less may be valued at amortized cost, which approximates fair value.
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 application of these methods of valuation results in a price for an investment which 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 in accordance with a policy approved by the Board as reflecting fair value (“Fair Value Assets”). When determining the price for Fair Value Assets, the investment advisor and/or the sub-advisor 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 investment advisor and/or sub-advisor deems relevant. The pricing of all Fair Value Assets is subsequently reported to the Board or a committee thereof.
Segregation and Collateralization: In cases in which the 1940 Act and the interpretive positions of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) require that the Series either deliver collateral or segregate assets in connection with certain investments (e.g., financial futures contracts), the Series will, consistent with SEC rules and/or certain interpretive letters issued by the SEC, segregate collateral or designate on its books and records cash or liquid securities having a market value at least equal to the amount that would otherwise be required to be physically segregated. Furthermore, based on requirements and agreements with certain exchanges and third party broker-dealers, each party to such transactions has requirements to deliver/deposit securities as collateral for certain investments.
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 recorded on the ex-dividend dates. 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. Interest income, including amortization and accretion of premiums and discounts on debt securities, is recognized on the accrual basis.
Securities Lending: The Series may lend securities to approved borrowers, such as banks, brokers and other financial institutions. The borrower pledges cash, securities issued or guaranteed by the US government or irrevocable letters of credit issued by a bank as collateral, which will be maintained at all times in an amount equal to at least 100% of the current market value of the loaned securities. The market value of the loaned securities is determined at the close of business of the Series and any additional required collateral is delivered to the Series on the next business day. Securities lending income, as disclosed in the Statement of Operations, represents the income earned from the investment of the cash collateral, net of rebates paid to, or fees paid by, borrowers and less the fees paid to the securities lending agent. During the term of the loan, the Series earns dividend or interest income on the securities loaned but does not receive interest income on the securities received as collateral. 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. In the event that the borrower defaults on its obligation to return borrowed securities because of insolvency or for any other reason, the Series could experience delays and costs in gaining access to the collateral. The Series also 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. During the year ended December 31, 2011, any securities on loan were collateralized by cash.
Income Taxes: 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.

Notes to Financial Statements (continued) | Master Mid Cap Index Series |
The Series files US federal and various state and local tax returns. No income tax returns are currently under examination. The statute of limitations on the Series’ US federal tax returns remains open for each of the four years ended December 31, 2011. The statutes of limitations on the Series’ state and local tax returns may remain open for an additional year depending upon the jurisdiction. Management does not believe there are any uncertain tax positions that require recognition of a tax liability.
Recent Accounting Standard: In May 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the “FASB”) issued amended guidance to improve disclosure about fair value measurements which will require the following disclosures for fair value measurements categorized as Level 3: quantitative information about the unobservable inputs and assumptions used in the fair value measurement, a description of the valuation policies and procedures and a narrative description of the sensitivity of the fair value measurement to changes in unobservable inputs and the interrelationships between those unobservable inputs. In addition, the amounts and reasons for all transfers in and out of Level 1 and Level 2 will be required to be disclosed. The amended guidance is effective for financial statements for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2011, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Management is evaluating the impact of this guidance on the Series’ financial statement disclosures.
In December 2011, the FASB issued guidance that will enhance current disclosure requirements on the offsetting of certain assets and liabilities. The new disclosures will be required for investments and derivative financial instruments subject to master netting agreements or similar agreements and will require an entity to disclose both gross and net information about such investments and transactions eligible for offset in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. The guidance is effective for financial statements with fiscal years beginning on or after January 1, 2013, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Management is evaluating the impact 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 pro rated 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.
2. Derivative Financial Instruments:
The Series engages in various portfolio investment strategies using derivative contracts both to increase the returns of the Series and to economically hedge, or protect, its exposure to certain risks such as equity risk. These contracts may be transacted on an exchange.
Losses may arise if the value of the contract decreases due to an unfavorable change in the market rates or values of the underlying instrument or if the counterparty does not perform under the contract. Counterparty risk related to exchange-traded financial futures contracts is deemed to be minimal due to the protection against defaults provided by the exchange on which these contracts trade.
Financial Futures Contracts: The Series purchases 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 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, 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. 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 margin variation and are recorded by the Series as unrealized appreciation or depreciation. 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 rates and the underlying assets.

3. Investment Advisory Agreement and Other Transactions with Affiliates:
The PNC Financial Services Group, Inc. (“PNC”) and Barclays Bank PLC (“Barclays”) are the largest stockholders of BlackRock, Inc. (“BlackRock”). Due to the ownership structure, PNC is an affiliate for 1940 Act purposes, but Barclays is not.
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 and administration services. The Manager is responsible for the management of the Series’ portfolio and provides the necessary personnel, facilities, equipment and certain
| | | |
| | | |
| QUANTITATIVE MASTER SERIES LLC | DECEMBER 31, 2011 | 15 |
| |
| |
Notes to Financial Statements (concluded) | Master Mid Cap Index Series |
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 advisor in the Statement of Operations.
The Manager entered into a sub-advisory agreement with BlackRock Investment Management, LLC (“BIM”), an affiliate of the Manager. The Manager pays BIM, for services it provides, a monthly fee that is a percentage of the investment advisory fees paid by the Series to the Manager.
For the year ended December 31, 2011, the Series reimbursed the Manager $1,116 for certain accounting services, which is included in accounting services in the Statement of Operations.
The Master LLC, on behalf of the Series, received an exemptive order from the SEC permitting it, among other things, to pay an affiliated securities lending agent a fee based on a share of the income derived from the securities lending activities and has retained BIM as the securities lending agent. BIM may, on behalf of the Series, invest cash collateral received by the Series for such loans, among other things, in a private investment company managed by the Manager or in registered money market funds advised by the Manager or its affiliates. As securities lending agent, BIM is responsible for all transaction fees and all other operational costs relating to securities lending activities, other than extraordinary expenses. BIM does not receive any fees for managing the cash collateral. The market value of securities on loan and the value of the related collateral, if applicable, are shown in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities as securities loaned at value and collateral on securities loaned at value, respectively. The cash collateral invested by BIM is disclosed in the Schedule of Investments. Securities lending income is equal to the total of income earned from the reinvestment of cash collateral, net of rebates paid to, or fees paid by, borrowers of securities. The Series retains 65% of securities lending income and pays a fee to BIM equal to 35% of such income. The share of income earned by the Series on such investments is shown as securities lending — affiliated in the Statement of Operations. For the year ended December 31, 2011, BIM received $3,123 in securities lending agent fees related to securities lending activities for the Series.
Certain officers and/or directors of the Master LLC are officers and/or directors of BlackRock or its affiliates.
4. Investments:
Purchases and sales of investments, excluding short-term securities for the year ended December 31, 2011, were $49,429,249 and $43,493,504, respectively.
5. Borrowings:
The Master LLC, on behalf of the Series, along with certain other funds managed by the Manager and its affiliates, is a party to a $500 million credit agreement with a group of lenders, which expired in November 2011. The Series may borrow under the credit agreement to fund shareholder redemptions. Effective November 2010, the credit agreement had the following terms: a commitment fee of 0.08% per annum based on the Series’ pro rata share of the unused portion of the credit agreement and interest at a rate equal to the higher of (a) the one-month London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) plus 1.00% per annum or (b) the Fed Funds rate plus 1.00% per annum on amounts borrowed. In addition, the Series paid administration and arrangement fees which were allocated to the Series based on its net assets as of October 31, 2010. Effective November 2011, the credit agreement was renewed until November 2012 with the following terms: a commitment fee of 0.065% per annum based on the Series’ pro rata share of the unused portion of the credit agreement and interest at a rate equal to the higher of (a) the one-month LIBOR plus 0.80% per annum or (b) the Fed Funds rate plus 0.80% per annum on amounts borrowed. In addition, the Series paid administration and arrangement fees which were allocated to the Series based on its net assets as of October 31, 2011. The Series did not borrow under the credit agreement during the year ended December 31, 2011.
6. Concentration, Market and Credit Risk:
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 Series’ Statement of Assets and Liabilities, less any collateral held by the Series.
7. Subsequent Events:

16 | QUANTITATIVE MASTER SERIES LLC | DECEMBER 31, 2011 |
REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Investors of Master Mid Cap 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 Mid Cap Index Series, one of the portfolios constituting Quantitative Master Series LLC, (the “Master LLC”) as of December 31, 2011, and the related statement of operations for the year then ended, the statements 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 Master LLC’s 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 Master LLC 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 Master LLC’s 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, 2011, 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 Mid Cap Index Series, one of the portfolios constituting Quantitative Master Series LLC, as of December 31, 2011, 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.

| (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 Core Bond Enhanced Index Series of Quantitative Master Series LLC | $22,700 | $33,539 |
Master Enhanced S&P 500 Series of Quantitative Master Series LLC | $13,000 | $20,128 |
Master Extended Market Index Series of Quantitative Master Series LLC | $13,000 | $20,026 |
Master Mid Cap Index Series of Quantitative Master Series LLC | $13,000 | $20,004 |
| Additionally, SAS No. 70 fees for the current and previous fiscal years of $3,030,000 and $2,950,000, 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. |
