Risk assets (such as equities) powered higher in 2013, for the most part unscathed by ongoing political and economic uncertainty. While monetary policy was the main driving force behind the rally in risk assets, it was also the main culprit for the bouts of volatility during the year.
Equity markets rallied right out of the gate in January with cash pouring back in from the sidelines after a potential US fiscal crisis (i.e., the “fiscal cliff”) was averted with a last-minute tax deal. Key indicators signaling modest but broad-based improvements in the world’s major economies and a calming in Europe’s debt troubles fostered an aura of comfort for investors. Global economic momentum slowed in February, however, and the pace of the rally moderated. In the months that followed, US stocks outperformed international stocks, as the US showed greater stability than most other regions. Slow but positive growth was sufficient to support corporate earnings, while uncomfortably high unemployment reinforced expectations that the Federal Reserve would continue its aggressive monetary stimulus program. International markets experienced higher levels of volatility given a resurgence of political instability in Italy, a banking crisis in Cyprus and a generally poor outlook for European economies. Emerging markets significantly lagged the rest of the world as growth in these economies fell short of expectations.
Financial markets were rattled in May when Fed Chairman Bernanke mentioned the possibility of reducing — or “tapering” — the central bank’s asset purchase programs — comments that were widely misinterpreted as signaling an end to the Fed’s zero-interest-rate policy. US Treasury yields rose sharply, triggering a steep sell-off across fixed income markets. (Bond prices move in the opposite direction of yields.) Equity prices also suffered as investors feared the implications of a potential end of a program that had greatly supported the markets. Risk assets rebounded in late June, however, when the Fed’s tone turned more dovish, and improving economic indicators and better corporate earnings helped extend gains through most of the summer.
The fall was a surprisingly positive period for most asset classes as the Fed defied market expectations with its decision to delay tapering. Easing of political tensions that had earlier surfaced in Egypt and Syria and the re-election of Angela Merkel as Chancellor of Germany also boosted investor sentiment. Higher volatility returned in late September when the US Treasury Department warned that the national debt would soon breach its statutory maximum. The ensuing political brinksmanship led to a partial government shutdown, roiling global financial markets through the first half of October, but the rally quickly resumed when politicians engineered a compromise to reopen the government and extend the debt ceiling, at least temporarily.
The remainder of the year was generally positive for stock markets in the developed world, although investors continued to grapple with uncertainty about when and how much the Fed would scale back on stimulus. On the one hand, persistent weak growth and low inflation provided significant latitude for monetary policy decisions and investors were encouraged by dovish comments from Fed Chair-to-be Janet Yellen. On the other hand, US housing and manufacturing reports had begun to signal fundamental improvement in the economy. The long-awaited taper announcement ultimately came in mid-December. The Fed reduced the amount of its monthly asset purchases, but at the same time, extended its time horizon for maintaining low short-term interest rates. Markets reacted positively as this move signaled the Fed’s perception of real improvement in the economy and investors felt relief from the tenacious anxiety that had gripped them throughout the year.
Accommodative monetary policy and the avoidance of major risks made 2013 a strong year for most equity markets. US stocks were the strongest performers for the six- and 12-month periods ended December 31. In contrast, emerging markets were weighed down by uneven growth and structural imbalances. Rising US Treasury yields led to a rare annual loss in 2013 for Treasury bonds and other high-quality fixed income sectors including tax-exempt municipals and investment grade corporate bonds. High yield bonds, to the contrary, generated gains driven by income-oriented investors seeking yield in the low-rate environment. Short-term interest rates remained near zero, keeping yields on money market securities near historical lows.
At BlackRock, we believe investors need to think globally and extend their scope across a broader array of asset classes and be prepared to move freely as market conditions change over time. We encourage you to talk with your financial advisor and visit www.blackrock.com for further insight about investing in today’s world.
Sincerely,

Fund Summary as of December 31, 2013 | | BlackRock International Index Fund |
BlackRock International Index Fund’s (the “Fund”) investment objective is to match the performance of the MSCI EAFE Index (Europe, Australasia, Far East) (the “MSCI EAFE Index”) in U.S. dollars with net dividends as closely as possible before the deduction of Fund expenses.
| | |
Portfolio Management Commentary | | |
How did the Fund perform?
Ÿ | | For the 12 months ended December 31, 2013, the Fund’s Institutional Shares returned 21.52%, Investor A Shares returned 21.20% and Class K Shares returned 21.57%. The benchmark MSCI EAFE Index returned 22.78% for the same period. The MSCI EAFE Index is a free float-adjusted, market capitalization-weighted index designed to measure equity performance of developed markets, excluding the United States and Canada. |
Ÿ | | Returns for the Fund’s respective share classes differ from the benchmark index based on individual share-class expenses. The Fund invests all of its assets in Master International Index Series (the “Series”), a series of Quantitative Master Series LLC. |
Describe the market environment.
Ÿ | | International equity markets began 2013 with a powerful relief rally after the United States averted the worst of its potential fiscal crisis with a last-minute tax deal. The rally softened in February, however, as global economic momentum slowed. Later in the first quarter, a stalemate presidential election in Italy and a severe banking crisis in Cyprus reminded investors that political and financial instability in Europe continued to pose risks. The ascent of equities persevered as increased global liquidity kept interest rates low and investors turned to riskier asset classes in search of yield. |
Ÿ | | As the year progressed, the direction of equity markets became increasingly dominated by speculation around the future of monetary policy in response to signals from central banks, particularly the US Federal Reserve. Sluggish global growth, ironically, was often conducive to positive stock market performance as weak economic data reinforced investors’ expectations that major central banks would maintain their accommodative stance. Additionally, the modest pace of economic growth contributed to corporate profit margins as the global recovery was strong enough to support revenues while nearly stagnant wage growth kept costs low. |
Ÿ | | After peaking in late May, equity markets around the world recoiled when Fed Chairman Bernanke mentioned the possibility of gradually reducing (or “tapering”) monetary stimulus before the end of 2013. Volatility picked up considerably as many investors misinterpreted the Fed’s remarks as signaling the end of low short-term interest rates. However, equities staged a swift mid-summer rebound when the Fed’s tone turned more dovish. Later in the third quarter, mixed economic data drove high volatility as it made investors increasingly anxious about when and how much the Fed would scale back on its monthly asset purchase program. Also concerning was the escalation of the revolution in Egypt and the civil war in Syria, events that fueled higher oil prices, an additional headwind for global growth. |
Ÿ | | September brought another sharp rally as the Fed defied market expectations with its decision to delay tapering its asset purchase program. On the geopolitical front, the turmoil in Egypt and Syria subsided and the re-election of Angela Merkel as Chancellor of Germany was welcomed as a continuation of the status quo. The equity market advance was interrupted again in late September when the US teetered on breaching the national debt ceiling and political brinksmanship led to a partial government shutdown. The rally quickly resumed in mid-October when politicians engineered a compromise to reopen the government and extend the debt ceiling until early 2014. |
Ÿ | | As economic indicators improved later in the fall, investors around the world grappled with rising uncertainty around the timing of the anticipated Fed taper. This anxiety was ultimately relieved when the central bank announced the commencement of tapering in mid-December. Investors reacted positively to this policy move as it signaled the Fed’s perception of real improvement in US growth. Sentiment was also buoyed by the extension of the Fed’s expected time horizon for maintaining low short-term interest rates. |
Ÿ | | Equity markets in all of the developed countries represented in the MSCI EAFE Index moved higher for the year 2013 (in US dollar terms). Markets in Finland (+46.04%) and Ireland (+41.15%) posted the largest gains in the index, followed by Germany (+31.37%), which has substantial representation in the index composition. Japanese equities (+27.16%) climbed higher as a weakening yen benefited the nation’s exporters, which comprise a large portion of the Japanese stock market. (In local currency terms, Japanese stocks soared +54.58%.) Japanese equities are among the heavier country weightings in the MSCI EAFE Index, as are Swiss (+26.61%), French (+26.33%) and UK equities (+20.67%). |
Describe recent portfolio activity.
Ÿ | | During the period, as changes were made to the composition of the MSCI EAFE 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.
Ÿ | | The Series remains positioned to match the risk characteristics of its benchmark index, irrespective of the future direction of international markets. |

Performance information reflects past performance and does not guarantee future results. Current performance may be lower or higher than the performance data quoted. Refer to www.blackrock.com/funds to obtain performance data current to the most recent month end. Performance results do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on fund distributions or the redemption of fund shares. Figures shown in the performance tables on the previous pages assume reinvestment of all dividends and capital gain distributions, if any, at net asset value (“NAV”) on the ex-dividend date. Investment return and principal value of shares will fluctuate so that shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Dividends paid to each class of shares will vary because of the different levels of service and transfer agency fees applicable to each class, which are deducted from the income available to be paid to shareholders. The Funds’ administrator waived and/or reimbursed a portion of the Funds’ fee expenses. Without such waiver and/or reimbursement, the Funds’ performance would have been lower.
Shareholders of these Funds may incur the following charges: (a) transactional expenses, such as sales charges; and (b) operating expenses, including administration fees, service fees, including 12b-1 fees, and other Fund expenses. The expense examples on the previous pages (which are based on a hypothetical investment of $1,000 invested on July 1, 2013 and held through December 31, 2013) are intended to assist shareholders both in calculating expenses based on an investment in each Fund and in comparing these expenses with similar costs of investing in other mutual funds.
The expense examples provide information about actual account values and actual expenses. In order to estimate the expenses a shareholder paid during the period covered by this report, shareholders can divide their account value by $1,000 and then multiply the result by the number corresponding to their Fund and share class under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During the Period.”
The expense examples also provide information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on a Fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses. In order to assist shareholders in comparing the ongoing expenses of investing in these Funds and other funds, compare the 5% hypothetical examples with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in other funds’ shareholder reports.
The expenses shown in the expense examples are intended to highlight shareholders’ ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional expenses, such as sales charges, if any. Therefore, the hypothetical examples are useful in comparing ongoing expenses only, and will not help shareholders determine the relative total expenses of owning different funds. If these transactional expenses were included, shareholder expenses would have been higher.
|
Derivative Financial Instruments |
The Series may invest in various derivative financial instruments, including financial futures contracts and foreign currency exchange contracts, as specified in Note 4 of the Series’ Notes to Financial Statements, which may constitute forms of economic leverage. Such derivative financial instruments are used to obtain exposure to an index and/or market without owning or taking physical custody of securities or to hedge market, foreign currency exchange rate 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, may result in lower dividends paid to shareholders 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 Series’ Notes to Financial Statements.

| | |
Notes to Financial Statements | | BlackRock Index Funds, Inc. |
1. Organization:
BlackRock International Index Fund (“International Index”) and BlackRock Small Cap Index Fund (“Small Cap Index”) (collectively, “the “Funds” or individually, a “Fund”), are a series of BlackRock Index Funds, Inc. (the “Corporation”), which is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), as an open-end management investment company. The Corporation is organized as a Maryland corporation. Each Fund is classified as diversified. The Funds seek to achieve their investment objectives by investing all of their assets in Master International Index Series (“Master International Index”) and Master Small Cap Index Series (“Master Small Cap Index”), respectively (collectively, the “Series”, or individually, a “Series”) of Quantitative Master Series LLC (the “Master LLC”), an affiliate of the Funds, each of which has the same investment objective and strategies as the corresponding Fund. The value of the Fund’s investment in the applicable Series reflects the Fund’s proportionate interest in the net assets of the Series. The performance of the Funds is directly affected by the performance of the Series. The percentages of Master International Index and Master Small Cap Index owned by International Index and Small Cap Index at December 31, 2013 were 37.7%, and 16.9%, respectively. As such the financial statements of the Series, including the Schedules of Investments, are included elsewhere in this report and should be read in conjunction with the Funds’ financial statements. The Funds offer multiple classes of shares. Institutional Shares and Class K Shares are sold without a sales charge and only to certain eligible investors. Investor A Shares are generally sold without a front-end sales charge. All classes of shares have identical voting, dividend, liquidation and other rights and the same terms and conditions, except that Investor A Shares bear certain expenses related to the shareholder servicing of such shares. Each class has exclusive voting rights with respect to matters relating to its shareholder servicing and distribution expenditures.
2. Significant Accounting Policies:
The Funds’ 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 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 following is a summary of the significant accounting policies followed by the Funds:
Valuation: US GAAP defines fair value as the price the Funds would receive to sell an asset or pay to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The Funds’ policy is to fair value their financial instruments at market value. The Funds record their investment in the Series at fair value based on the Funds’ proportionate interest in the net assets of the Series. Valuation of securities held by the Series is discussed in Note 2 of the Series’ Notes to Financial Statements, which are included elsewhere in this report.
Investment Transactions and Investment Income: For financial reporting purposes, contributions to and withdrawals from the Series are accounted on a trade date basis. The Funds record daily their proportionate share of the Series’ income, expenses and realized and unrealized gains and losses. Realized and unrealized gains and losses are adjusted utilizing partnership tax allocation rules. In addition, the Funds accrue their own expenses. Income, expenses and realized and unrealized gains and losses are allocated daily to each class based on its relative net assets.
Dividends and Distributions: Dividends and distributions paid by the Funds are recorded on the ex-dividend dates. The character and timing of dividends and distributions are determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations, which may differ from US GAAP.
Income Taxes: It is the Funds’ policy to comply with the requirements of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, applicable to regulated investment companies and to distribute substantially all of their taxable income to their shareholders. Therefore, no federal income tax provision is required.
The Funds file US federal and various state and local tax returns. No income tax returns are currently under examination. The statute of limitations on the Funds’ US federal tax returns remains open for each of the four years ended December 31, 2013. The statutes of limitations on the Funds’ 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 Funds’ facts and circumstances and does not believe there are any uncertain tax positions that require recognition of a tax liability.
Other: Expenses directly related to a Fund or its classes are charged to that Fund or class. Other operating expenses shared by several funds are pro rated among those funds on the basis of relative net assets or other appropriate methods. Expenses directly related to a Fund and other shared expenses pro rated to a Fund are allocated daily to each class based on its relative net assets or other appropriate methods.
3. Administration 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 Corporation, on behalf of the Funds, entered into an Administration Agreement with BlackRock Advisors, LLC (the “Administrator”), an indirect, wholly owned subsidiary of BlackRock, to provide administrative services (other than investment advice and related portfolio activities). For such services, each of International Index and Small Cap Index pays the Administrator a monthly fee at an annual rate of 0.24% and 0.29%, respectively, of the average daily value of the Funds’ net assets. The Funds do not pay an investment advisory fee or investment management fee.
The Administrator 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 Funds’ business.
The expense limitation as a percentage of average daily net assets is as follows:
| | | | | | | | |
| | International Index | | | Small Cap Index | |
Institutional | | | 0.35 | % | | | 0.30 | % |
Investor A | | | 0.60 | % | | | 0.55 | % |
Class K | | | 0.30 | % | | | 0.25 | % |
| | | | | | |
| | | | | | |
18 | | BLACKROCK INDEX FUNDS, INC. | | DECEMBER 31, 2013 | | |
| | |
Notes to Financial Statements (continued) | | BlackRock Index Funds, Inc. |
The Administrator has agreed not to reduce or discontinue this contractual waiver or reimbursement prior to May 1, 2014 unless approved by the Corporation’s Board of Directors (the “Board”), including a majority of the Independent Directors. These amounts are shown as administration fees waived and transfer agent fees waived and/or reimbursed — class specific, respectively, in the Statements of Operations.
For the year ended December 31, 2013, the amounts shown as transfer agent fees waived and/or reimbursed — class specific were as follows:
| | | | | | | | |
| | International Index | | | Small Cap Index | |
Institutional | | $ | 4,427 | | | $ | 6,678 | |
Investor A | | $ | 115,135 | | | $ | 19,079 | |
Class K | | $ | 219 | | | $ | 348 | |
In addition, the Administrator waived $151,319 and $230,406 for International Index and Small Cap Index, respectively, which are shown as administration fees waived in the Statements of Operations.
The Corporation, on behalf of the Funds, entered into a Distribution Agreement and a Distribution Plan with BlackRock Investments, LLC (“BRIL”), an affiliate of BlackRock. Pursuant to the Distribution Plan and in accordance with Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act, the Funds pay BRIL ongoing service fees with respect to their Investor A Shares. The fees are accrued daily and paid monthly at the annual rate of 0.25% based upon the average daily net assets attributable to Investor A Shares.
Pursuant to sub-agreements with BRIL, broker-dealers and BRIL provide shareholder servicing to the Funds. The ongoing service fee compensates BRIL and each broker-dealer for providing shareholder servicing to Investor A shareholders.
Pursuant to written agreements, certain financial intermediaries, some of which may be affiliates, provide the Funds with sub-accounting, recordkeeping, sub-transfer agency and other administrative services with respect to sub-accounts they service. For these services, these entities receive an annual fee per shareholder account, which will vary depending on share class and/or net assets. For the year ended December 31, 2013, the Funds paid the following to affiliates in return for these services, which are included in transfer agent — class specific in the Statements of Operations:
| | | | | | | | |
| | International Index | | | Small Cap Index | |
Investor A | | | — | | | $ | 191 | |
The Administrator maintains a call center, which is responsible for providing certain shareholder services to the Funds, such as responding to shareholder inquiries and processing transactions based upon instructions from shareholders with respect to the subscription and redemption of Fund shares. For the year ended December 31, 2013, the Funds reimbursed the Administrator the following amounts for costs incurred in running the call center, which are included in transfer agent — class specific in the Statements of Operations:
| | | | | | | | |
| | International Index | | | Small Cap Index | |
Institutional | | $ | 364 | | | $ | 196 | |
Investor A | | $ | 4,375 | | | $ | 2,396 | |
Class K | | $ | 23 | | | $ | 48 | |
Certain officers and/or directors of the Corporation are officers and/or directors of BlackRock or its affiliates. The Funds reimburse the Administrator for a portion of the compensation paid to the Corporation’s Chief Compliance Officer.
4. Income Tax Information:
US GAAP requires that certain components of net assets be adjusted to reflect permanent differences between financial and tax reporting. These reclassifications have no effect on net assets or net asset values per share. The following permanent differences as of December 31, 2013 attributable to foreign currency transactions and the sale of stock of passive foreign investment companies by the Series were reclassified to the following accounts:
| | | | | | | | |
| | International Index | | | Small Cap Index | |
Undistributed (distributions in excess of) net investment income | | $ | (239,915 | ) | | $ | 7,871 | |
Accumulated net realized loss allocated from the Series | | $ | 239,915 | | | $ | (7,871 | ) |
The tax character of distributions paid during the fiscal years ended December 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012 was as follows:
| | | | | | | | | | |
| | | | International Index | | | Small Cap Index | |

| | | | | | |
| | 12/31/12 | | $ | 8,192,718 | | | $ | 2,366,007 | |
| | | | | | |
As of December 31, 2013, the tax components of accumulated net earnings were as follows:

| | | | | | | | |
Total | | $ | 38,096,218 | | | $ | 39,917,035 | |
| | | | | | | | |
| 1 | | The differences between book-basis and tax-basis net unrealized gains were attributable primarily to the timing of income recognition on partnership interests. |

As of December 31, 2013, International Index had capital loss carryforwards available to offset future realized capital gains through the indicated expiration dates as follows:

2017 | | | 6,596,186 | |

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm | | BlackRock Index Funds, Inc. |
To the Shareholders of BlackRock International Index Fund and BlackRock Small Cap Index Fund and Board of Directors of BlackRock Index Funds, Inc.:
We have audited the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities of BlackRock International Index Fund and BlackRock Small Cap Index Fund, each one of the series constituting BlackRock Index Funds, Inc., (the “Funds”) as of December 31, 2013, and the related statements 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 periods presented. These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Funds’ 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 audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and financial highlights are free of material misstatement. The Funds are 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 Funds’ 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. 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 BlackRock International Index Fund and BlackRock Small Cap Index Fund, of BlackRock Index Funds, Inc., as of December 31, 2013, the results of their operations for the year then ended, the changes in their net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, and the financial highlights for each of the periods presented, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Ÿ | | 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 as follows: |
| Ÿ | | Level 1 — unadjusted price quotations in active markets/exchanges for identical assets or liabilities that the Series has the ability to access |
| Ÿ | | 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) |
| Ÿ | | 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) |
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.
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. 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. For information about the Series’ policy regarding valuation of investments and derivative financial instruments, please refer to Note 2 of the Notes to Financial Statements.
The following tables summarize the Series’ investments and derivative financial instruments categorized in the disclosure hierarchy as of December 31, 2013:

Certain foreign securities are fair valued utilizing an external pricing service to reflect any significant market movements between the time the Series values such foreign securities and the earlier closing of foreign markets. Such fair valuations are categorized as Level 2 in the disclosure hierarchy. As of December 31, 2012, securities with a value of $11,767,681 were systematically fair valued due to significant market movements, but were not valued using systematic fair values as of December 31, 2013. Therefore, these securities were transferred from Level 2 to Level 1 during the year ended December 31, 2013.

Ÿ | | 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 as follows: |
| Ÿ | | Level 1 — unadjusted price quotations in active markets/exchanges for identical assets or liabilities that the Series has the ability to access |
| Ÿ | | 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) |
| Ÿ | | 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) |
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.
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. 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. For information about the Series’ policy regarding valuation of investments and derivative financial instruments, please refer to Note 2 of the Notes to Financial Statements. The following tables summarize the Series’ investments and derivative financial instruments categorized in the disclosure hierarchy as of December 31, 2013:

Notes to Financial Statements | | Quantitative Master Series LLC |
1. Organization:
Master International Index Series (“Master International Index”) and Master Small Cap Index Series (“Master Small Cap Index”) (collectively, the “Series”, or individually, a “Series”) are a series of Quantitative Master Series LLC (the “Master LLC”), which is registered as an open-end management investment company under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), and is organized as a Delaware limited liability company. Each Series is classified as diversified. 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.
2. Significant Accounting Policies:
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 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 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 determine the fair values of their 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 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. 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.
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.
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 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 Assets”). When determining the price for Fair Value Assets, 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, deem 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, a regular review 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 Assets is subsequently reported to the Board or a committee thereof on a quarterly basis.
Generally, trading in foreign instruments is substantially completed each day at various times prior to the close of business on the NYSE. Occasionally, events affecting the values of such instruments may occur between the foreign market close and the close of business on the NYSE that may not be reflected in the computation of the Series’ net assets. If events (for example, a company announcement, market volatility or a natural disaster) occur during such periods that are expected to affect the value of such instruments materially, those instruments may be Fair Value Assets and valued at their fair value, as determined in good faith by the Global Valuation Committee, or its delegate, using a pricing service and/or policies

approved by the Board. Each business day, the Series use a pricing service to assist with the valuation of certain foreign exchange-traded equity securities and foreign exchange-traded and over-the-counter (“OTC”) options (the “Systematic Fair Value Price”). Using current market factors, the Systematic Fair Value Price is designed to value such foreign securities and foreign options at fair value as of the close of business on the NYSE, which follows the close of the local markets.
Foreign Currency: The Series’ books and records are maintained in US dollars. Purchases and sales of investment securities are recorded at the rates of exchange prevailing on the respective date of such transactions. Generally, when the US dollar rises in value against a foreign currency, the Series’ investments denominated in that currency will lose value because that currency is worth fewer US dollars; the opposite effect occurs if the US dollar falls in relative value.
The Series do 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 in the Statements 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 report realized currency gains (losses) on foreign currency related transactions as components of net realized gain (loss) for financial reporting purposes, whereas such components may be treated as ordinary income for federal income tax purposes.
Segregation and Collateralization: In cases where a Series enters into certain investments (e.g., financial futures contracts and foreign currency exchange 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. 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 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.
Income Taxes: The Series are classified as partnerships 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 file 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, 2013. 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 there are any uncertain tax positions that require recognition of a tax liability.
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 have 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 Statements 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 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. The initial collateral received by the Series should have a value of at least 102% of the current value of the loaned securities for securities traded on US exchanges and a value of at least 105% for all other securities. The collateral is maintained thereafter 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 Statements 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.
The market value of securities on loan and the value of the related collateral are shown separately in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities as a component of investments at value, and collateral on securities loaned at value, respectively. The cash collateral invested by the securities lending agent, BlackRock Investment Management, LLC (“BIM”), if any, is disclosed in the Schedules of Investments.

Securities lending transactions are entered into by the Series under Master Securities Lending Agreements (“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. The value of the collateral is typically greater than that of the market value of the securities loaned, leaving the lender 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 a 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.
The following tables are a summary of the Series’ securities lending agreements by counterparty which are subject to offset under a MSLA as of December 31, 2013:

The risks of securities lending also include the risk that the borrower may not provide additional collateral when required or may not return the securities when due. To mitigate this risk, the Series benefit from a borrower default indemnity provided by BlackRock, Inc. (“BlackRock”). BlackRock’s indemnity allows for full replacement of the securities lent. 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, 2013, any securities on loan were collateralized by cash.
4. Derivative Financial Instruments:
The Series engage in various portfolio investment strategies using derivative contracts both to increase the returns of the Series and/or to economically hedge their exposure to certain risks such as equity risk or foreign currency exchange rate risk. These contracts may be transacted on an exchange or OTC.
Financial Futures Contracts: The Series purchase and/or sell 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) or foreign currencies (foreign currency exchange rate 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 are 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 Schedules of Investments and cash deposited, if any, is recorded on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities as cash pledged for financial futures contracts. Pursuant to the contract, the Series agree 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 Statements of Assets and Liabilities.
When the contract is closed, the Series record 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.
Foreign Currency Exchange Contracts: The Series enter into foreign currency exchange contracts as an economic hedge against either specific transactions or portfolio instruments or to obtain exposure to, or hedge exposure away from, 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 record 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.

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.
The Series’ risk of loss from counterparty credit risk on OTC derivatives is generally limited to the aggregate unrealized gain netted against any collateral held by such Series. For OTC options purchased, the Series bear the risk of loss of the amount of the premiums paid plus the positive change in market values net of any collateral held by such Series should the counterparty fail to perform under the contracts. Options written by the Series do not typically give rise to counterparty credit risk, as options written generally obligate the Series, and not the counterparty, to perform.
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 limited to failure of the clearinghouse. Credit risk still 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.
In order to better define its contractual rights and to secure rights that will help the Series mitigate its counterparty risk, the Series may enter into an International Swaps and Derivatives Association, Inc. Master Agreement (“ISDA Master Agreement”) or similar agreement with its derivative contract counterparties. An ISDA Master Agreement is a bilateral agreement between the Series and a counterparty that governs certain OTC derivatives and typically contains, among other things, collateral posting terms and netting provisions in the event of a default and/or termination event. Under an ISDA Master Agreement, the Series may, under certain circumstances, offset with the counterparty certain derivative financial instruments’ payables and/or receivables with collateral held and/or posted and create one single net payment. The provisions of the ISDA Master Agreement typically permit a single net payment in the event of default including the bankruptcy or insolvency of the counterparty. However, that bankruptcy or insolvency laws of a particular jurisdiction may impose restrictions on or prohibitions against the right of offset in bankruptcy, insolvency or other events. In addition, certain ISDA Master Agreements allow counterparties to OTC derivatives to terminate derivative contracts prior to maturity in the event the Series’ net assets decline by a stated percentage or the Series fails to meet the terms of their ISDA Master Agreements, which would cause the Series to accelerate payment of any net liability owed to the counterparty.
Collateral Requirements: For derivatives traded under an ISDA Master Agreement, the collateral requirements are typically calculated by netting the mark to market amount for each transaction under such agreement and comparing that amount to the value of any collateral currently pledged by the Series and the counterparty.
Cash collateral that has been pledged to cover obligations of the Series and cash collateral received from the counterparty, if any, is reported separately on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities as cash pledged as

collateral and cash received as collateral, respectively. Non-cash collateral pledged by the Series, if any, is noted in the Schedules of Investments. Generally, the amount of collateral due from or to a party has to exceed a minimum transfer amount threshold (e.g. $500,000) before a transfer is required, which is determined at the close of business of the Series and additional required collateral is delivered to/pledged by the Series on the next business day. Typically, the Series and counterparties are permitted to sell, re-pledge or use the collateral they receive. To the extent amounts due to the Series from its counterparties are not fully collateralized, contractually or otherwise, the Series bear the risk of loss from counterparty non-performance. The Series attempts to mitigate counterparty risk by entering into agreements only with counterparties that it believes have the financial resources to honor their obligations and by monitoring the financial stability of those counterparties.
For financial reporting purposes, the Series do not offset derivative assets and derivative liabilities that are subject to netting arrangements in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities.
At December 31, 2013, the Series’ derivative assets and liabilities (by type) are as follows:

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.
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’ portfolios and provides the necessary personnel, facilities, equipment and certain other services necessary to the operations of the Series. For such services, the Series pay the Manager a monthly fee at an annual rate of 0.01% of the Series’ average daily net assets.
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% for Master International Index and 0.08% for Master Small Cap Index.
The Manager has agreed not to reduce or discontinue this contractual waiver or reimbursement prior to May 1, 2014 unless approved by the Board, including a majority of the Independent Directors.
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. These amounts are included in fees waived by Manager in the Statements of Operations. For the year ended December 31, 2013, the amounts waived for Master International Index and Master Small Cap Index, were $1,880 and $30,330, respectively.
The Manager entered into a sub-advisory agreement with 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, 2013, Master International Index and Master Small Cap Index, reimbursed the Manager, $6,119 and $5,021, respectively, for certain accounting services, which are included in accounting services in the Statements 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 in a private investment company managed by the Manager or in registered money market funds advised by the Manager or its affiliates. The market value of securities on loan and the value of the related collateral, if applicable, is shown in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities as securities loaned at value and collateral on securities loaned at value, respectively. The cash collateral invested by BIM, if any, is disclosed in the Schedules 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 Series benefit from a borrower default indemnity provided by BlackRock. As securities lending agent, BIM bears all operational costs directly related to securities lending as well as the cost of borrower default indemnification. BIM does not receive any fees for managing the cash collateral. The share of income earned by the Series is shown as securities lending — affiliated — net in the Statements of Operations. For the year ended December 31, 2013, BIM received $6,062 and $588,039 in securities lending agent fees related to securities lending activities for Master International Index and Master Small Cap Index, respectively.
Master International Index and Master Small Cap Index recorded a payment from an affiliate to compensate for foregone securities lending revenue, which is shown as Other income — affiliated in the Statements of Operations.
Certain officers and/or directors of the Master LLC are officers and/or directors of BlackRock or its affiliates.
The Series may purchase securities from, or sell securities to, an affiliated fund provided the affiliation is solely due to having a common investment adviser, common officers, or common directors. For the year ended December 31, 2013, the purchase and sale transactions with an affiliated fund in compliance with Rule 17a-7 under the 1940 Act were as follows:
| | | | | | | | |
| | Purchases | | | Sales | |
Master International Index | | | — | | | | — | |
Master Small Cap Index | | $ | 20,873,303 | | | $ | 40,607,415 | |
6. Purchases and Sales:
Purchases and sales of investments, excluding short-term securities, for the year ended December 31, 2013 were as follows:
| | | | | | | | |
| | Purchases | | | Sales | |
Master International Index | | $ | 179,349,421 | | | $ | 71,433,871 | |
Master Small Cap Index | | $ | 209,028,210 | | | $ | 152,670,827 | |
7. Bank Borrowings:
The Series, along with certain other funds managed by the Manager and its affiliates (“Participating Funds”), is a party to a 364-day, $800 million credit agreement with a group of lenders, under which the Series may borrow to fund shareholder redemptions. The agreement expires in April 2014. Excluding commitments designated for a certain individual fund, other Participating Funds, including the Series, can borrow up to an aggregate commitment amount of $500 million, subject to asset coverage and other limitations as specified in the agreement. The credit agreement has the following terms: a fee of 0.065% per annum on unused commitment amounts 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. Participating Funds paid administration and arrangement fees, which, 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. The Series did not borrow under the credit agreement during the year ended December 31, 2013.
8. Concentration, Market and Credit Risk:
In the normal course of business, the Series invest in securities and enter 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 have unsettled or open transactions may fail to or be unable to perform on its commitments. The Series manage 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 Statements of Assets and Liabilities, less any collateral held by the Series.
Master International Index invests a substantial amount of its assets in issuers located in a single country or a limited number of countries. When the Series concentrates its investments in this manner, it assumes the risk that economic, political and social conditions in those countries may have a significant impact on its investment performance. Foreign issuers may not be subject to the same uniform accounting, auditing and financial reporting standards and practices as used in the United States. Foreign securities markets may also be less liquid, more volatile, and less subject to governmental supervision not typically associated with investing in US securities. Please see the Schedule of Investments for concentrations in specific countries.
Master International Index invests a significant portion of its assets in securities of issuers located in Europe or with significant exposure to European issuers or countries. The European financial markets have recently experienced volatility and adverse trends due to concerns about economic downturns in, or rising government debt levels of several European countries. These events may spread to other countries in Europe and may affect the value and liquidity of certain of Master International Index’s investments.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm | | Quantitative Master Series LLC |
To the Investors of Master International Index Series and Master Small Cap Index Series and Board of Directors of Quantitative Master Series LLC:
We have audited the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities, including the schedules of investments, of Master International Index Series and Master Small Cap Index Series, each one of the series constituting Quantitative Master Series LLC, (the “Series”) as of December 31, 2013, and the related statements 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 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 audits 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, 2013, 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 International Index Series and Master Small Cap Index Series, of Quantitative Master Series LLC, as of December 31, 2013, the results of their operations for the year then ended, the changes in their 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: |
Each 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 registrant’s 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 registrants 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 registrant’s 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 either 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 | |
BlackRock International Index Fund of BlackRock Index Funds, Inc. | | $ | 9,100 | | | $ | 8,600 | |
BlackRock Small Cap Index Fund of BlackRock Index Funds, Inc. | | $ | 11,200 | | | $ | 10,700 | |
Master International Index Series of Quantitative Master Series LLC | | $ | 17,000 | | | $ | 17,000 | |

Additionally, SSAE 16 Review (Formerly, SAS No. 70) fees for the current and previous fiscal years of $2,865,000 and $2,970,000, respectively, were billed by D&T to the Investment Adviser.
(h) Each 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.
