Dear Shareholder,
After an extended period of calm, market volatility increased over the course of 2014, driven largely by higher valuations in risk assets (such as equities and high yield bonds), rising geopolitical risks and expectations around global central bank policies. Several key trends drove strong performance in U.S. markets, particularly large-cap stocks, Treasuries and municipal bonds, while markets outside the U.S. were more challenged.
Investors began the year in search of relatively safer assets due to heightened risks in emerging markets, slowing growth in China and weakening U.S. economic data. As a result, equities globally declined in January while bond markets strengthened despite the expectation that interest rates would rise as the U.S. Federal Reserve had begun reducing its asset purchase programs. Strong demand for relatively safer assets pushed U.S. Treasury bond prices higher and thus kept rates low in the United States. This surprising development, as well as increasing evidence that the soft patch in U.S. economic data had been temporary and weather-related, brought equity investors racing back to the market in February.
In the months that followed, interest rates trended lower in a modest growth environment and more investors turned to equities in search of yield. Markets remained relatively calm despite rising tensions in Russia and Ukraine and further signs of decelerating growth in China. Strong corporate earnings, increased merger and acquisition activity and signs of a strengthening recovery in the U.S. and other developed economies kept equity prices moving higher. Not all segments benefited from these trends, however, as investors ultimately became wary of high valuations, resulting in a broad rotation into cheaper assets.
Volatility ticked up in the summer as geopolitical tensions escalated and investors feared that better U.S. economic indicators may compel the Fed to increase short-term interest rates sooner than previously anticipated. Global credit markets tightened as the U.S. dollar strengthened, ultimately putting a strain on investor flows, and financial markets broadly weakened in the third quarter.
Several themes dominated the markets in the fourth quarter, resulting in higher levels of volatility and the outperformance of U.S. markets versus other areas of the world. Economic growth strengthened considerably in the United States while the broader global economy showed signs of slowing. The European Central Bank and the Bank of Japan took aggressive measures to stimulate growth while the Fed moved toward tighter policy. This divergence in central bank policy caused further strengthening in the U.S. dollar versus other currencies. Oil prices, which had been falling gradually since the summer, plummeted in the fourth quarter due to a global supply-and-demand imbalance. Energy stocks sold off sharply and oil-exporting economies suffered, resulting in the poor performance of emerging market stocks.
At BlackRock, we believe investors need to think globally, extend their scope across a broad 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 blackrock.com for further insight about investing in today’s markets.
Sincerely,
Rob Kapito

Fund Summary as of December 31, 2014 | | 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, 2014, the Fund’s Institutional Shares returned (6.13)%, Investor A Shares returned (6.45)% and Class K Shares returned (6.12)%. The benchmark MSCI EAFE Index returned (4.90)% 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 equities exhibited higher volatility in 2014 amid rising geopolitical risks and uneven growth rates across the global economy. The year got off to a rough start due to heightened risks in emerging markets, slowing growth in China and softer economic data in the United States, while investors were bracing for the impact of the U.S. Federal Reserve scaling back on stimulus. Equity markets around the world declined sharply in January. But the sell-off was short-lived and international equities rebounded in February, particularly in Europe. Signs of a strengthening economic recovery combined with hopes that the European Central Bank (“ECB”) would soon take measures to combat the uncomfortably low level of inflation in the eurozone, fueled a rally in European stocks. The ECB ultimately took policy action in early June, with a bold move to a negative deposit rate. |
Ÿ | | However, high valuations and uncertainty around global central bank policies left equities particularly vulnerable to bad news. Consequently, geopolitical risks took a toll on international equity prices as tensions between Russia and Ukraine mounted and the fragmentation of Iraq led to escalating violence and a spike in oil prices during the summer. A ground war in Gaza, the downing of a civilian airliner over Malaysia, and Scotland’s flirtation with independence from the United Kingdom added to global headwinds, causing many investors to retreat from risk assets. |
Ÿ | | In the latter part of the year, economic growth strengthened in the United States, while the broader global economy showed signs of slowing. In Europe, most developed economies again struggled with sluggish activity and equity prices were tossed about between investors’ concerns about geopolitical turmoil and hopes for central bank stimulus. The continuation of the Russia-Ukraine conflict and a Russian currency crisis, as well as Greece’s failure to successfully elect a new president, drove volatility higher. In the eurozone, inflation rates continued to be dangerously low. Another round of policy easing from the ECB gave international equities a much-needed boost, but the significant depreciation of the euro and other currencies versus the U.S. dollar resulted in negative returns in the MSCI EAFE Index. |
Ÿ | | Similarly, Asian developed market equities performed well in local currency terms, but generated negative results on a U.S. dollar basis. As the Japanese economy struggled to get on its legs, the nation’s equity market benefited from central bank stimulus and positive sentiment toward structural reform. Strong corporate earnings results also pushed Japanese stocks higher, as did a surge of domestic inflows due to the reallocation of Japan’s Government Pension Investment Fund. However, a weakening yen versus a strengthening U.S. dollar resulted in Japanese equities having the largest negative effect on the performance of the MSCI EAFE Index. |
Ÿ | | In the latter months of 2014, the divergence in global central bank policies became a major theme in equity markets and the strong appreciation in the U.S. dollar pressured commodity prices. Oil prices in particular plunged as a global supply-and-demand imbalance materialized. While lower prices were harmful to economies that rely heavily on oil exports, most developed markets derived a boost in consumer spending, a positive for equity markets. |
Ÿ | | Stock markets in most countries represented in the MSCI EAFE Index declined (in U.S. dollar terms) in the 12-month period. U.K. and Japanese stocks, which represent the most significant weightings in the MSCI EAFE Index composition, lost 5.37% and 4.02%, respectively. Negative results came from other markets with notable index weights, including France (-9.92%), Australia (-3.55%) and Switzerland (-0.15%). On an absolute basis (in USD), Israeli stocks (+22.77%) generated stand-out performance and the worst performers included stocks in Portugal (-38.24%), Austria (-29.77%) and Norway (-21.74%). |
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. |

Portfolio Management Commentary | | |
How did the Fund perform?
Ÿ | | For the 12 months ended December 31, 2014, the Fund’s Institutional Shares returned 4.81%, Investor A Shares returned 4.54% and Class K Shares returned 4.87%. The benchmark Russell 2000® Index returned 4.89% for the same period. |
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 Small Cap Index Series (the “Series”), a series of Quantitative Master Series LLC. |
Describe the market environment.
Ÿ | | U.S. equities moved higher in 2014 as domestic economic growth picked up momentum and interest rates continued to be low. Although volatility increased, levels generally remained below the historical norm. The year got off to a rough start, however, due to heightened risks in emerging markets, slowing growth in China and softer economic data in the United States, while investors were bracing for the impact of the U.S. Federal Reserve (the “Fed”) scaling back on stimulus. Equity markets around the world declined sharply in January. But the sell-off was short-lived and equities rebounded as uncertainty abated. Notably, relief came in the form of long-term interest rates remaining low even as the Fed reduced its open-market purchases. Additionally, investors were comforted by the Fed’s dovish stance on short-term rates and increasing evidence that the recent weakness in U.S. economic data had been temporary and weather-related. |
Ÿ | | Equity valuations were relatively high in the aftermath of the strong rally in 2013. Nevertheless, investors continued to favor equities in 2014 as bond yields were persistently low. Improving U.S. economic data, strong corporate earnings and increased merger and acquisition activity propelled market gains, pushing major U.S. stock indexes to all-time highs. |
Ÿ | | However, the combination of high valuations and expectations of higher interest rates left equities particularly vulnerable to bad news. Volatility increased as tensions between Russia and Ukraine mounted and investors considered the potential implications of economic sanctions. The fragmentation of Iraq led to escalating violence and a spike in oil prices during the summer. A ground war in Gaza, the downing of a civilian airliner over Malaysia, and Scotland’s flirtation with independence from the United Kingdom added to global headwinds, resulting in a challenging third quarter for equity markets. |
Ÿ | | U.S. economic growth strengthened considerably in the latter part of 2014. Initially, the good news was bad for stocks, spurring a sell-off in September as investors feared the Fed would raise short-term rates earlier than previously expected. But calm was restored when the Fed reaffirmed its anticipation that short-term rates would likely continue to be warranted for some time after its target employment and inflation levels are realized. U.S. stocks rebounded in October and continued their climb through year end as U.S. economic data continued to impress investors and help fuel a positive corporate earnings season. |
Ÿ | | While the pace of U.S. economic growth strengthened, the broader global economy showed signs of slowing. This drove volatility higher as the divergence in global central bank policies became a major theme in equity markets. While the Fed moved toward tightening policy, the European Central Bank and Bank of Japan implemented easing measures to stimulate their economies and support their currencies. However, the U.S. equity market absorbed much of the increased liquidity flowing from foreign central banks as global investors sought relative stability in a world of rising geopolitical tensions and uneven economic growth. |
Ÿ | | As the U.S. economy strengthened, so did the U.S. dollar, which put downward pressure on commodity prices. Oil prices in particular plunged in the latter months of 2014 as a global supply-and-demand imbalance materialized. Lower oil prices led to a pickup in consumer spending in the United States, a positive for U.S. stocks. |

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. Distributions paid to each class of shares will vary because of the different levels of service, distribution and transfer agency fees applicable to each class, which are deducted from the income available to be paid to shareholders.
BlackRock Advisors, LLC (the “Administrator”), the Fund’s investment advisor, has contractually agreed to waive and/or reimburse a portion of the Fund’s expenses. Without such waiver and/or reimbursement, the Fund’s performance would have been lower. The Administrator is under no obligation to continue waiving and/or reimbursing its fees after the applicable termination date of such agreement. See Note 3 of the Notes to Financial Statements for additional information on waivers and/or reimbursements.
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, 2014 and held through December 31, 2014) 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. Derivative financial instruments are used to obtain exposure to a security, index and/or market without owning or taking physical custody of securities or to manage market, equity, credit, interest rate, foreign currency exchange rate, commodity and/or other risks. Derivative financial instruments may give rise to a form of economic leverage. Derivative financial instruments also involve risks, including the imperfect correlation between the value of a derivative financial instrument and the underlying asset, possible default of the counterparty to the transaction or illiquidity of the derivative financial instrument. The Series’ ability to use a derivative financial instrument successfully depends on the investment advisor’s ability to predict pertinent market movements accurately, which cannot be assured. The use of derivative financial instruments may result in losses greater than if they had not been used, may limit the amount of appreciation a Series can realize on an investment and/or may result in lower distributions paid to shareholders. The Series’ investments in these instruments are discussed in detail in the Notes to Financial Statements.

| | | | |
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 each 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. At December 31, 2014, the percentages of Master International Index and Master Small Cap Index owned by International Index and Small Cap Index were 79.12% and 19.04%, respectively. As such, the financial statements of the Series, including the Schedule of Investments, are included elsewhere in this report and should be read in conjunction with the Fund’s financial statements.
Each Fund offers multiple classes of shares. Institutional 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, and may be subject to a CDSC for certain redemptions where no intial sales charge was paid at the time of purchase. All classes of shares have identical voting, dividend, liquidation and other rights and are subject to 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 Fund’s financial statements are prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”), which may require management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities in the financial statements and the reported amounts of increases and decreases in net assets from operations during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Each Fund is considered an investment company under U.S. GAAP and follows the accounting and reporting guidance applicable to investment companies. The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by the Fund:
Valuation: The Funds’ investments are valued at fair value as of the close of trading on the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”)(generally 4:00 p.m., Eastern time). U.S. GAAP defines fair value as the price the Fund 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 determine the fair values of their financial instruments at market value using independent dealers or pricing services under policies approved by the Board of Directors of the Fund (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 Fund for all financial instruments.
Each Fund’s policy is to fair value its financial instruments at market value. The Funds record their investment in the Series at fair value based on the Fund’s proportionate interest in the net assets of the applicable 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. 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.
Distributions: Distributions paid by the Funds are recorded on the ex-dividend dates. The character and timing of distributions are determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations, which may differ from U.S. GAAP.
Other: Expenses directly related to a Fund are charged to that Fund. Other operating expenses shared by several funds are prorated among those funds on the basis of relative net assets or other appropriate methods. Expenses directly related to the Funds and other shared expenses prorated to the Funds 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, International Index and Small Cap Index pay the Administrator a monthly fee at an annual rate of 0.03% and 0.08%, respectively, of the average daily value of the Funds’ net assets. Effective March 21, 2014, the administration fee was reduced to 0.24% and 0.29%, respectively of the average daily value of the Funds’ net assets. The Funds do not pay an investment advisory or management fee.

| | | | |
Notes to Financial Statements (continued) | | BlackRock Index Funds, Inc. |
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. Prior to March 21, 2014, the expense limitations as a percentage of average daily net assets were as follows:
| | | | | | | | |
| | International Index | | | Small Cap Index | |
Institutional | | | 0.35% | | | | 0.30% | |
Investor A | | | 0.60% | | | | 0.55% | |
Class K | | | 0.30% | | | | 0.25% | |
Effective March 21, 2014, the expense limitations as a percentage of average daily net assets are as follows:
| | | | | | | | |
| | International Index | | | Small Cap Index | |
Institutional | | | 0.14% | | | | 0.21% | |
Investor A | | | 0.39% | | | | 0.46% | |
Class K | | | 0.09% | | | | 0.16% | |
The Administrator has agreed not to reduce or discontinue this contractual waiver or reimbursement prior to May 1, 2015 unless approved by the Corporation’s 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, 2014, the amounts shown as transfer agent fees waived and/or reimbursed — class specific were as follows:
| | | | | | | | |
| | International Index | | | Small Cap Index | |
Institutional | | $ | 1,522 | | | $ | 1,123 | |
Investor A | | $ | 156,430 | | | $ | 23,124 | |
Class K | | $ | 228 | | | $ | 359 | |
The Funds entered into a Distribution Agreement and a Distribution and Service Plan with BlackRock Investments, LLC (“BRIL”), an affiliate of BlackRock. Pursuant to the Distribution and Service Plan and in accordance with Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act, each Fund pays BRIL ongoing service and distribution 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.
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 related services 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 asset-based fee or an annual fee per shareholder account, which will vary depending on share class and/or net assets. For the year ended December 31, 2014, the Funds paid the following amounts 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 | | | — | | | $ | 75 | |
The Administrator maintains a call center, which is responsible for providing certain shareholder services to the Fund, 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 twelve months ended December 31, 2014, each Fund 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 | | $ | 705 | | | $ | 427 | |
Investor A | | $ | 4,391 | | | $ | 2,322 | |
Class K | | $ | 17 | | | $ | 6 | |
Certain officers and/or directors of the Corporation are officers and/or directors of BlackRock or its affiliates. The Funds reimburse the Administrator for compensation paid to the Corporation’s Chief Compliance Officer.

4. Income Tax Information:
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 U.S. federal and various state and local tax returns. No income tax returns are currently under examination. The statute of limitations on the Fund’s U.S. federal tax returns remains open for each of the four years ended December 31, 2014. The statutes of limitations on the Fund’s 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 that there are any uncertain tax positions that require recognition of a tax liability.
U.S. 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. As of December 31, 2014, the following permanent differences attributable to foreign currency transactions and the sale or passive foreign investment companies by the Series were reclassified to the following accounts:
| | | | | | | | |
| | International Index | | | Small Cap Index | |
Distributions in excess of net investment income | | $ | (1,830,552 | ) | | $ | 28,846 | |

| | | | | | | | | | |
As of December 31, 2014, the tax components of accumulated net earnings (losses) were as follows:
| | | | | | | | | | |
| | International Index | | | Small Cap Index | |
Undistributed net investment income | | | | $ | 1,384,356 | | | $ | 21,894 | |

Total | | | | $ | (67,268,827 | ) | | $ | 33,362,711 | |
| | | | | | |
| 1 | | The differences between book-basis and tax-basis net unrealized gains (losses) were attributable primarily to the timing and recognition of partnership income. |
| 2 | | The Series has elected to defer certain late-year losses and recognize such losses in the next taxable year. |
As of December 31, 2014, International Index had capital loss carryforwards available to offset future realized capital gains through the indicated expiration dates as follows:
| | | | | | |

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, 2014, 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, 2014, 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. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements). Accordingly, the degree of judgment exercised in determining fair value is greatest for instruments categorized in Level 3. The inputs used to measure fair value may fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In such cases, for disclosure purposes, the fair value hierarchy classification is determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety. The categorization of a value determined for investments and derivative financial instruments is based on the pricing transparency of the investment and is not necessarily an indication of the risks associated with investing in those securities. The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are as follows: |
| Ÿ | | Level 1 — unadjusted quoted prices 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) |
Changes in valuation techniques may result in transfers into or out of an assigned level within the disclosure hierarchy. In accordance with the Series’ policy, transfers between different levels of the fair value disclosure hierarchy are deemed to have occurred as of the beginning of the reporting period. For information about the Series’ policy regarding valuation of investments, please refer to Note 2 of the Notes to Financial Statements.
As of December 31, 2014 the following tables summarize the Series’ investments and derivative financial instruments categorized in the disclosure hierarchy:

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. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements). Accordingly, the degree of judgment exercised in determining fair value is greatest for instruments categorized in Level 3. The inputs used to measure fair value may fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In such cases, for disclosure purposes, the fair value hierarchy classification is determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety. The categorization of a value determined for investments and derivative financial instruments is based on the pricing transparency of the investment and derivative financial instrument and is not necessarily an indication of the risks associated with investing in those securities. The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are as follows: |
| Ÿ | | Level 1 — unadjusted quoted prices 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) |

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 series of Quantitative Master Series LLC (the “Master LLC”) which is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), as a diversified open-end management investment company. The Series is organized as a Delaware statutory trust. The Master LLC’s Limited Liability Company Agreement permits the Board of Directors of the Master LLC (the “Board”) to issue non-transferable interests, subject to certain limitations.
The Series, together with certain other registered investment companies advised by BlackRock Advisors, LLC (the “Manager”) or its affiliates, is a complex of open-end funds referred to as the Equity-Liquidity Complex.
2. Significant Accounting Policies:
The Series financial statements are prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”), which may require management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities in the financial statements and the reported amounts of increases and decreases in net assets from operations during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Each Series is considered an investment company under U.S. GAAP and follows the accounting and reporting guidance applicable to investment companies. The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by the Series:
Valuation: The Series’ investments are valued at fair value as of the close of trading on the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) (generally 4:00 p.m., Eastern time). U.S. GAAP defines fair value as the price the Series would receive to sell an asset or pay to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The Series determine the fair value 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 are valued at the official close each day, if available. For equity investments traded on more than one exchange, the official close price on the exchange where the stock is primarily traded is used. Equity investments traded on a recognized exchange for which there were no sales on that day may be valued at the last available bid (long positions) or ask (short positions) price. Financial futures contracts traded on exchanges are valued at their last sale price.
Securities and other assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars using exchange rates determined as of the close of business on the NYSE. Forward 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.
The Series values its investment in BlackRock Liquidity Series, LLC, Money Market Series (the “Money Market Series”) at fair value, which is ordinarily based upon its pro rata ownership in the underlying fund’s net assets. The Money Market Series seeks current income consistent with maintaining liquidity and preserving capital. Although the Money Market Series is not registered under the 1940 Act, its investments will follow the parameters of investments by a money market fund that is subject to Rule 2a-7 under the 1940 Act. The Series may withdraw up to 25% of its investment daily, although the manager of the Money Market Series, in its sole discretion, may permit an investor to withdraw more than 25% on any one day.
In the event that the application of these methods of valuation results in a price for an investment that is deemed not to be representative of the market value of such investment, or if a price is not available, the investment will be valued by the Global Valuation Committee, or its delegate, in accordance with a policy approved by the Board as reflecting fair value (“Fair Value Investments”). When determining the price for Fair Value Investments, the Global Valuation Committee, or its delegate, seeks to determine the price that each Series might reasonably expect to receive or pay from the current sale or purchase of that asset or liability in an arm’s-length transaction. Fair value determinations shall be based upon all available factors that the Global Valuation Committee, or its delegate, deems relevant consistent with the principles of fair value measurement, which include the market approach, income approach and/or in the case of recent investments, the cost approach, as appropriate. The market approach generally consists of using comparable market transactions. The income approach generally is used to discount future cash flows to present value and is adjusted for liquidity as appropriate. These factors include but are not limited to: (i) attributes specific to the investment or asset; (ii) the principal market for the investment or asset; (iii) the customary participants in the principal market for the investment or asset; (iv) data assumptions by market participants for the investment or asset, if reasonably available; (v) quoted prices for similar investments or assets in active markets; and (vi) other factors, such as future cash flows, interest rates, yield curves, volatilities, prepayment speeds, loss severities, credit risks, recovery rates, liquidation amounts and/or default rates. Due to the inherent uncertainty of valuations of such investments, the fair values may differ from the values that would have been used had an active market existed. The Global Valuation Committee, or its delegate, employs various methods for calibrating valuation approaches for investments where an active market does not exist, including regular due diligence of the Series’ pricing vendors, regular reviews of key inputs and assumptions, transactional back-testing or disposition analysis to compare unrealized gains and losses to realized gains and losses, reviews of missing or stale prices and large movements in market values and reviews of any market related activity. The pricing of all Fair Value Investments is subsequently reported to the Board or a committee thereof on a quarterly basis.

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 (e.g., a company announcement, market volatility or a natural disaster) occur during such periods that are expected to materially affect the value of such instruments, those instruments may be Fair Value Investments and be 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 uses a pricing service to assist with the valuation of certain foreign exchange-traded equity securities and foreign exchange-traded and 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 U.S. 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 U.S. dollar rises in value against a foreign currency, the Series investments denominated in that currency will lose value because that currency is worth fewer U.S. dollars; the opposite effect occurs if the U.S. dollar falls in relative value.
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 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 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 generally 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 forward 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.
Recent Accounting Standard: In June 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued guidance to improve the financial reporting of reverse repurchase agreements and other similar transactions. The guidance will require expanded disclosure for entities that enter into reverse repurchase agreements and similar transactions accounted for as secured borrowings. It is effective for financial statements with fiscal years beginning on or after December 15, 2014 and interim periods within those fiscal years. Management is evaluating the impact, if any, of this guidance on the Series financial statement disclosures.
Other: Expenses directly related to a Series are charged to that Series. Other operating expenses shared by several funds are prorated among those funds on the basis of relative net assets or other appropriate methods.
The Series 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:
Preferred Stock: The Series may invest in preferred stock. Preferred stock has a preference over common stock in liquidation (and generally in receiving dividends as well) but is subordinated to the liabilities of the issuer in all respects. As a general rule, the market value of preferred stock with a fixed dividend rate and no conversion element varies inversely with interest rates and perceived credit risk, while the market price of convertible preferred stock generally also reflects some element of conversion value. Because preferred stock is junior to debt securities and other obligations of the issuer, deterioration in the credit quality of the issuer will cause greater changes in the value of a preferred stock than in a more senior debt security with similar stated yield characteristics. Unlike interest payments on debt securities, preferred stock dividends are payable only if declared by the issuer’s board of directors. Preferred stock also may be subject to optional or mandatory redemption provisions.
Securities Lending: The Series may lend its securities to approved borrowers, such as brokers, dealers and other financial institutions. The borrower pledges and maintains with the Series collateral consisting of cash, an irrevocable letter of credit issued by a bank, or securities issued or guaranteed by

the U.S. government. The initial collateral received by each Series is required to have a value of at least 102% of the current value of the loaned securities for securities traded on U.S. exchanges and a value of at least 105% for all other securities. The collateral is maintained thereafter, at a value equal to at least 100% of the current market value of the securities on loan. The market value of the loaned securities is determined at the close of each business day of the Series and any additional required collateral is delivered to the Series on the next business day. During the term of the loan, the Series is entitled to all distributions made on or in respect of the loaned securities. Loans of securities are terminable at any time and the borrower, after notice, is required to return borrowed securities within the standard time period for settlement of securities transactions.
The market value of securities on loan and the value of the related collateral are shown separately in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities as a component of investments at value-unaffiliated, and collateral on securities loaned at value, respectively. As of December 31, 2014, any securities on loan were collateralized by cash. The cash collateral invested by the securities lending agent, BlackRock Investment Management, LLC (“BIM”), if any, is disclosed in the Schedules of Investments.
Securities lending transactions are entered into by the Series under Master Securities Lending Agreements (each, an “MSLA”) which provide the right, in the event of default (including bankruptcy or insolvency), for the non-defaulting party to liquidate the collateral and calculate a net exposure to the defaulting party or request additional collateral. In the event that a borrower defaults, the Series, as lender, would offset the market value of the collateral received against the market value of the securities loaned. When the value of the collateral is greater than that of the market value of the securities loaned, the lender is left with a net amount payable to the defaulting party. However, bankruptcy or insolvency laws of a particular jurisdiction may impose restrictions on or prohibitions against such a right of offset in the event of an MSLA counterparty’s bankruptcy or insolvency. Under the MSLA, the borrower can resell or re-pledge the loaned securities, and the Series can reinvest cash collateral, or, upon an event of default, resell or re-pledge the collateral.
As of December 31, 2014, the following table is a summary of the Series’ securities lending agreements by counterparty, which are subject to offset under an MSLA:

The risks of securities lending include the risk that the borrower may not provide additional collateral when required or may not return the securities when due. To mitigate these risks the Series benefits from a borrower default indemnity provided by BIM. BIM’s indemnity allows for full replacement of the securities lent if the collateral received does not cover the value on the securities loaned in the event of borrower default. The Series could suffer a loss if the value of an investment purchased with cash collateral falls below the market value of loaned securities or if the value of an investment purchased with cash collateral falls below the value of the original cash collateral received.

4. Derivative Financial Instruments:
The Series 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 over-the-counter (“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 interest rates (interest rate risk), 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.
The following is a summary of the Series’ derivative financial instruments categorized by risk exposure:

| | | | |
For the year ended December 31, 2014, the average quarterly balances of outstanding derivative financial instruments were as follows:
| | | | | | | | | | |
| | | | Master International Index | | | Master Small Cap Index | |
Financial futures contracts: | | | | | | | | | | |
Average notional value of contracts purchased | | | | $ | 36,294,523 | | | $ | 19,409,645 | |
| | | | | | |
Counterparty Credit Risk: A derivative contract may suffer a mark-to-market loss if the value of the contract decreases due to an unfavorable change in the market rates or values of the underlying instrument. Losses can also occur if the counterparty does not perform under the contract.
With exchange-traded futures, there is less counterparty credit risk to the Series since the exchange or clearinghouse, as counterparty to such instruments, guarantees against a possible default. The clearinghouse stands between the buyer and the seller of the contract; therefore, credit risk is limited to failure of the clearinghouse. While offset rights may exist under applicable law, a Series does not have a contractual right of offset against a clearing broker or clearinghouse in the event of a default (including the bankruptcy or insolvency) of the clearing broker or clearinghouse. Additionally, credit risk exists in exchange-traded futures with respect to initial and variation margin that is held in a clearing broker’s customer accounts. While clearing brokers are required to segregate customer margin from their own assets, in the event that a clearing broker becomes insolvent or goes into bankruptcy and at that

time there is a shortfall in the aggregate amount of margin held by the clearing broker for all its clients, typically the shortfall would be allocated on a pro rata basis across all the clearing broker’s customers, potentially resulting in losses to the Series.
5. Investment Advisory Agreement and Other Transactions with Affiliates:
The PNC Financial Services Group, Inc. is the largest stockholder and an affiliate, for 1940 Act purposes of BlackRock, Inc. (“BlackRock”).
The Master LLC, on behalf of the Series, entered into an Investment Advisory Agreement with 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 pays 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 or reimburse fees or expenses, in order to limit expenses, excluding interest expense, dividend expense, acquired fund fees and expenses and certain other Series 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, 2015 unless approved by the Board, including a majority of the Independent Directors. For the year ended December 31, 2014, the Manager waived $7,283 and $32,284 with respect to Master International Index and Master Small Cap Index, respectively, which is included in fees waived by manager in the Statements of Operations.
The Manager voluntarily agreed to waive its investment advisory fees by the amount of investment advisory fees each 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 and/or reimbursed by Manager in the Statements of Operations. For the year ended December 31, 2014 the amounts waived for Master International Index and Master Small Cap Index were $11,464 and $11,418, respectively.
Prior to July 1, 2014, BIM, an affiliate of the Manager, served as a sub-advisor to each Series pursuant to sub-advisory agreements with the Manager, and received for its services a monthly fee from the Manager at an annual rate equal to a percentage of the investment advisory fees paid by each Series to the Manager under the Investment Advisory Agreement. Effective July 1, 2014, the sub-advisory agreements between the Manager and BIM, with respect to each Series, expired.
For the year ended December 31, 2014, the Series reimbursed the Manager for certain accounting services, which is included in accounting services in the Statements of Operations.
The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission has issued an exemptive order which permits BIM, an affiliate of the Manager, to serve as securities lending agent for the Series subject to applicable conditions. As securities lending agent, BIM bears all operational costs directly related to securities lending. The Series are responsible for expenses in connection with the investment of cash collateral received for securities on loan (the “collateral investment expenses”). The cash collateral is invested in a private investment company managed by the Manager or its affiliates. However, BIM has agreed to cap the collateral investment expenses of the private investment company to an annual rate of 0.04%. The investment advisor to the private investment company will not charge any advisory fees with respect to shares purchased by the Series.
Securities lending income is equal to the total of income earned from the reinvestment of cash collateral, net of fees and other payments to and from borrowers of securities, and less the collateral investment expenses. The Series retains a portion of securities lending income and remits a remaining portion to BIM as compensation for its services as securities lending agent. Pursuant to a securities lending agreement effective February 1, 2014, BIM may lend securities only when the difference between the borrower rebate rate and the risk free rate exceeds a certain level (such securities, the “specials only securities”).
Pursuant to such agreement, each Series retains 80% of securities lending income. In addition, commencing the business day following the date that the aggregate securities lending income earned across the Equity-Liquidity Complex in a calendar year exceeds the aggregate securities lending income earned across the Equity-Liquidity Complex through the lending of specials only securities in the calendar year 2013, each Series, pursuant to the securities lending agreement, will retain for the remainder of the calendar year securities lending income in an amount equal to 85% of securities lending income. Prior to February 1, 2014 each Series retained 65% of securities lending income and paid a fee to BIM equal to 35% of such income. The share of securities lending income earned by each Series is shown as securities lending — affiliated — net in the Statements of Operations. For the year ended December 31, 2014, each Series paid BIM the following amounts for securities lending agent services:
| | | | |
Master International Index | | $ | 18,165 | |
Master Small Cap Index | | $ | 366,193 | |
Certain officers and/or directors of the Master LLC are officers and/or directors of BlackRock or its affiliates.

Notes to Financial Statements (continued) | | Quantitative Master Series LLC |
The Series may purchase securities from, or sell securities to, an affiliated fund provided the affiliation is due solely to having a common investment advisor, common officers, or common trustees.
6. Purchases and Sales:
For the year ended December 31, 2014, purchases and sales of investments, excluding short-term securities, were as follows:
| | | | | | | | |
| | Purchases | | | Sales | |
Master International Index | | $ | 1,855,870,783 | | | $ | 76,632,340 | |
Master Small Cap Index | | $ | 156,571,896 | | | $ | 317,309,448 | |
7. Income Tax Information:
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 the owner of the Series can satisfy the requirements of subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended.
The Series files U.S. federal and various state and local tax returns. No income tax returns are currently under examination. The statute of limitations on the Series U.S. federal tax returns remains open for each of the four years ended December 31, 2014. The statutes of limitations on the Series’ state and local tax returns may remain open for an additional year depending upon the jurisdiction.
Management has analyzed tax laws and regulations and their application to the Series’ facts and circumstances and does not believe that there are any uncertain tax positions that require recognition of a tax liability.
As of December 31, 2014, gross unrealized appreciation and gross unrealized depreciation based on cost for federal income tax purpose were as follows:
| | | | | | | | |
| | Master International Index | | | Master Small Cap Index | |
Tax cost | | $ | 2,509,080,004 | | | $ | 469,633,898 | |
| | | | |
Gross unrealized appreciation. | | | 166,452,542 | | | $ | 275,685,225 | |
Gross unrealized depreciation. | | | (63,770,589 | ) | | | (28,448,481 | ) |
| | | | | | | | |
Net unrealized appreciation | | $ | 102,681,953 | | | $ | 247,236,744 | |
| | | | |
8. Bank Borrowings:
The Master LLC, on behalf of the Series, along with certain other funds managed by the Manager and its affiliates (“Participating Funds”), was a party to a 364-day, $1.1 billion credit agreement with a group of lenders, under which the Series may borrow to fund shareholder redemptions. Excluding commitments designated for a certain individual fund, the Participating Funds, including the Series, could borrow up to an aggregate commitment amount of $650 million, subject to asset coverage and other limitations as specified in the agreement. Effective November 25, 2014, the credit agreement was amended to an aggregate commitment amount of $2.1 billion, of which, the Participating Funds, including the Series, can borrow up to $1.6 billion at any time outstanding, subject to asset coverage and other limitations as specified in the agreement. The agreement terminates on April 23, 2015, unless otherwise extended to November 24, 2015 or renewed for a period of 364 days from April 23, 2015. The amended agreement has the following terms: a fee of 0.06% per annum on unused commitment amounts and interest at a rate equal to the higher of (a) one month LIBOR (but in any event, not less than 0.00%) on the date the loan is made plus 0.80% per annum or (b) the Fed Funds rate (but in any event, not less than 0.00%) in effect from time to time plus 0.80% per annum on amounts borrowed. Participating Funds paid administration, legal and arrangement fees, which are included in miscellaneous expenses in the Statement of Operations, and along with commitment fees, were allocated among such funds based upon portions of the aggregate commitment available to them and relative net assets of Participating Funds. During the year ended December 31, 2014, the Series did not borrow under the credit agreement.
9. Principal Risks:
In the normal course of business, the Series invests in securities and enters into transactions where risks exist due to fluctuations in the market (market risk) or failure of the issuer of a security to meet all its obligations (issuer credit risk). The value of securities held by the Series may decline in response to certain events, including those directly involving the issuers whose securities are owned by the Series; conditions affecting the general economy; overall market changes; local, regional or global political, social or economic instability; and currency and interest rate and price fluctuations. Similar to issuer credit risk, the Series may be exposed to counterparty credit risk, or the risk that an entity with which the Series have 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 counter-

parties. 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 their 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 U.S. securities. Investment percentages in specific countries are presented in the Schedules of Investments.
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 the Series investments.
As of December 31, 2014, Master Small Cap Index invested a significant portion of its assets in securities in the financial sector. Changes in economic conditions affecting such sectors would have a greater impact on the Series and could affect the value, income and/or liquidity of positions in such securities.
As of December 31, 2014, the Series’ investments had the following industry classifications:
| | | | |
Master International Index | | | |
Industry | | Percent of Long-Term Investments | |
Banks | | | 13 | % |
Pharmaceuticals | | | 10 | |
Insurance | | | 6 | |
Oil, Gas & Consumable Fuels | | | 5 | |
Other | | | 66 | |

Master Small Cap Index | | | |

Computer Services Software & Systems | | | 9 | % |
Real Estate Investment Trusts | | | 9 | |
Banks | | | 8 | |
Biotechnology | | | 6 | |
Other | | | 68 | |
10. 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 | | 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, 2014, 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, 2014, by correspondence with the custodian and brokers; where replies were not received from brokers, we performed other auditing procedures. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Master International Index Series and Master Small Cap Index Series, of Quantitative Master Series LLC, as of December 31, 2014, 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:

| |
| | (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. |
