Portfolio Management Commentary | | Master Extended Market Index Series |
How did the Series perform?
• | | For the 12-month period ended December 31, 2016, Master Extended Market Index Series (the “Series”), a series of Quantitative Master Series LLC, returned 16.07% while the benchmark Dow Jones U.S. Completion Total Stock Market Index (the “Benchmark Index”) returned 15.75%. |
Describe the market environment.
• | | The year started with U.S. stock prices falling due to fears of a global economic slowdown, oil prices cratering, and terrorist attacks in Istanbul, Jakarta, and Pakistan. Domestic equity markets rebounded in the second quarter of 2016, despite increased volatility in June from the “Brexit,” i.e., the United Kingdom’s vote to leave the European Union. |
• | | U.S. equities capitalized on the upward momentum from their second quarter rally, which continued through the second half of the reporting period, driven by a dovish Federal Reserve (the “Fed”) that kept rates unchanged and stronger-than-expected earnings releases versus analyst expectations. The U.S. economy continued to strengthen into the fourth quarter as seen by strong macro data and tightening of the U.S. labor |
| | market. As such, the Fed’s decision to raise rates by 25 basis points (0.25%) at the end of the reporting period did not come as a big surprise. |
• | | The U.S. election and the Fed were front and center in 2016. The year started with an increase in volatility as investors prepared for a possible Fed rate increase, and weighed probable outcomes of the U.S. election. While many people were shocked by the Trump win, markets did not experience the same type of volatility seen after the Brexit vote, with major U.S. indexes posting solid gains in November. |
Describe recent portfolio activity.
• | | During the period, as changes were made to the composition of the Benchmark Index, the Series purchased and sold securities to maintain its objective of matching the performance of the Benchmark Index as closely as possible before the deduction of Series expenses. |
Describe portfolio positioning at period end.
• | | The Series remains positioned to attempt to match the risk characteristics of the Benchmark Index, irrespective of the market’s future direction. |

For Series compliance purposes, the Series’ sector classifications refer to one or more of the sector sub-classifications used by one or more widely recognized market indexes or ratings group indexes, and/or as defined by the investment adviser. These definitions may not apply for purposes of this report, which may combine such sector sub-classifications for reporting ease.
|
Derivative Financial Instruments |
The Series may invest in various derivative financial instruments. These instruments are used to obtain exposure to a security, commodity, index, market, and/or other asset without owning or taking physical custody of securities, commodities and/or other referenced assets 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 and 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 instrument. The Series’ successful use of a derivative financial instrument depends on the investment adviser’s ability to predict pertinent market movements accurately, which cannot be assured. The use of these instruments may result in losses greater than if they had not been used, may limit the amount of appreciation the Series can realize on an investment and/or may result in lower distributions paid to shareholders. The Series’ investments in these instruments, if any, are discussed in detail in the Notes to Financial Statements.

Notes to Financial Statements | | Master Extended Market Index Series |
1. Organization:
Quantitative Master Series LLC (the “Master LLC”) is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), as an open-end management investment company. Master Extended Market Index Series (the “Series”) is a series of the Master LLC. The Series is classified as diversified. The Master LLC is organized as a Delaware limited liability company. The Master LLC’s Limited Liability Company Agreement permits the Board of Directors of the Master LLC (the “Board”) to issue non-transferable interests, subject to certain limitations.
The Series, together with certain other registered investment companies advised by BlackRock Advisors, LLC (the “Manager”) or its affiliates, is included in a complex of open-end funds referred to as the Equity-Liquidity Complex.
2. Significant Accounting Policies:
The 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, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of increases and decreases in net assets from operations during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The Series is considered an investment company under U.S. GAAP and follows the accounting and reporting guidance applicable to investment companies. Below is a summary of significant accounting policies:
Segregation and Collateralization: In cases where the Series enters into certain investments (e.g., futures contracts) that would be treated as “senior securities” for 1940 Act purposes, the Series may segregate or designate on its books and records cash or liquid assets having a market value at least equal to the amount of its 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 date. Upon notification from issuers, some of the dividend income received from a real estate investment trust may be redesignated as a reduction of cost of the related investment and/or realized gain.
Recent Accounting Standard: In April 2015, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued “Disclosures for Investments in Certain Entities that Calculate Net Asset Value (“NAV”) per Share” which eliminates the requirement to categorize investments within the fair value hierarchy when fair value is based on the NAV per share and no quoted market value is available. As of December 31, 2016, certain investments of the Series were valued using NAV per share as no quoted market value was available and have been excluded from the fair value hierarchy.
In November 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Accounting Standards Update “Restricted Cash” which will require entities to include the total of cash, cash equivalents, restricted cash, and restricted cash equivalents in the beginning and ending cash balances in the Statement of Cash Flows. The guidance will be applied retrospectively and is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, and interim periods within those years. Management is evaluating the impact, if any, of this guidance on the Series presentation in the Statement of Cash Flows.
Indemnifications: In the normal course of business, the Series enters into contracts that contain a variety of representations that provide general indemnification. The Series’ maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown because it involves future potential claims against the Series, which cannot be predicted with any certainty.
Other: Expenses directly related to the Series are charged to the Series. Other operating expenses shared by several funds, including other funds managed by the Manager, are prorated among those funds on the basis of relative net assets or other appropriate methods.
Through May 31, 2016, the Series had an arrangement with its custodian whereby credits were earned on uninvested cash balances, which could be used to reduce custody fees and/or overdraft charges. Credits previously earned may have been utilized until December 31, 2016. Under current arrangements effective June 1, 2016, the Series no longer earns credits on uninvested cash, and may incur charges on uninvested cash balances and overdrafts, subject to certain conditions.
3. Investment Valuation and Fair Value Measurements:
Investment Valuation Policies: The Series’ investments are valued at fair value (also referred to as “market value” within the financial statements) as of the close of trading on the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) generally 4:00 p.m., Eastern time (or if the reporting date falls on a day the NYSE is closed, investments are valued at fair value as of the period end). U.S. GAAP defines fair value as the price the Series would receive to sell an asset or pay to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The Series determines the fair values of its financial instruments using various 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 oversee the pricing function for all financial instruments.

| | |
Notes to Financial Statements (continued) | | Master Extended Market Index Series |
Fair Value Inputs and Methodologies: The following methods and inputs are used to establish the fair value of the Series’ assets and liabilities:
• | | Equity investments traded on a recognized securities exchange are valued at the official closing price each day, if available. For equity investments traded on more than one exchange, the official closing 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. |
• | | Investments in open-end U.S. mutual funds are valued at net asset value (“NAV”) each business day. |
• | | The Series values its investment in SL 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 may follow the parameters of investments by a money market fund that is subject to Rule 2a-7 under the 1940 Act. |
• | | Futures contracts traded on exchanges are valued at their last sale price. |
If events (e.g., a company announcement, market volatility or a natural disaster) occur that are expected to materially affect the value of such investments, or 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 Valued Investments”). The fair valuation approaches that may be used by the Global Valuation Committee will include Market approach, Income approach and the Cost approach. Valuation techniques such as discounted cash flow, use of market comparables and matrix pricing are types of valuation approaches and typically used in determining fair value. When determining the price for Fair Valued Investments, the Global Valuation Committee, or its delegate, seeks to determine the price that the 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 and consistent with the principles of fair value measurement.
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 Valued Investments is subsequently reported to the Board or a committee thereof on a quarterly basis. As a result of the inherent uncertainty in valuation of these investments, the fair values may differ from the values that would have been used had an active market existed.
For investments in equity or debt issued by privately-held companies or funds (“Private Company” or collectively, the “Private Companies”) and other Fair Valued Investments, the fair valuation approaches that are used by third party pricing services utilize one or a combination of, but not limited to, the following inputs.
| | |
| | Standard Inputs Generally Considered By Third Party Pricing Services |
Market approach | | (i) recent market transactions, including subsequent rounds of financing, in the underlying investment or comparable issuers; (ii) recapitalizations and other transactions across the capital structure; and (iii) market multiples of comparable issuers. |
Income approach | | (i) future cash flows discounted to present and adjusted as appropriate for liquidity, credit, and/or market risks; (ii) quoted prices for similar investments or assets in active markets; and (iii) other risk factors, such as interest rates, yield curves, volatilities, prepayment speeds, loss severities, credit risks, recovery rates, liquidation amounts and/or default rates. |
Cost approach | | (i) audited or unaudited financial statements, investor communications and financial or operational metrics issued by the Private Company; (ii) changes in the valuation of relevant indices or publicly traded companies comparable to the Private Company; (iii) relevant news and other public sources; and (iv) known secondary market transactions in the Private Company’s interests and merger or acquisition activity in companies comparable to the Private Company. |
Investments in series of preferred stock issued by Private Companies are typically valued utilizing market approach in determining the enterprise value of the company. Such investments often contain rights and preferences that differ from other series of preferred and common stock of the same issuer. Valuation techniques such as an option pricing model (“OPM”), a probability weighted expected return model (“PWERM”) or a hybrid of those techniques are used in allocating enterprise value of the company, as deemed appropriate under the circumstances. The use of OPM and PWERM techniques involve a determination of the exit scenarios of the investment in order to appropriately allocate the enterprise value of the company among the various parts of its capital structure.
The Private Companies are not subject to the public company disclosure, timing, and reporting standards as other investments held by the Fund. Typically, the most recently available information by a Private Company is as of a date that is earlier than the date the Fund is calculating its NAV. This factor may result in a difference between the value of the investment and the price the Fund could receive upon the sale of the investment.

Fair Value Hierarchy: Various inputs are used in determining the fair value of investments and derivative financial instruments. These inputs to valuation techniques are categorized into a fair value hierarchy consisting of three broad levels for financial statement purposes as follows:
• | | Level 1 — unadjusted price quotations in active markets/exchanges for identical assets or liabilities that the Series has the ability to access |
• | | Level 2 — other observable inputs (including, but not limited to, quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in markets that are active, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the assets or liabilities (such as interest rates, yield curves, volatilities, prepayment speeds, loss severities, credit risks and default rates) or other market–corroborated inputs) |
• | | Level 3 — unobservable inputs based on the best information available in the circumstances, to the extent observable inputs are not available (including the Series’ own assumptions used in determining the fair value of investments and derivative financial instruments) |
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. Investments classified within Level 3 have significant unobservable inputs used by the Global Valuation Committee in determining the price for Fair Valued investments. Level 3 investments include equity or debt issued by private companies. There may not be a secondary market, and/or there are a limited number of investors. Level 3 investments may also be adjusted to reflect illiquidity and/or non-transferability, with the amount of such discount estimated by the Global Valuation Committee in the absence of market information.
Changes in valuation techniques may result in transfers into or out of an assigned level within the hierarchy. In accordance with the Series’ policy, transfers between different levels of the fair value 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 investments and derivative financial instruments and is not necessarily an indication of the risks associated with investing in those securities.
4. Securities and Other Investments:
Securities Lending: The Series may lend its securities to approved borrowers, such as brokers, dealers and other financial institutions. The borrower pledges and maintains with the Series collateral consisting of cash, an irrevocable letter of credit issued by a bank, or securities issued or guaranteed by the U.S. Government. The initial collateral received by the Series is required to have a value of at least 102% of the current value of the loaned securities for securities traded on U.S. exchanges and a value of at least 105% for all other securities. The collateral is maintained thereafter at a value equal to at least 100% of the current market value of the securities on loan. The market value of the loaned securities is determined at the close of each business day of the Series and any additional required collateral is delivered to the Series, or excess collateral returned by 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, but does not receive interest income on 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 any securities on loan, all of which were classified as common stocks in the Series’ Schedule of Investments, and the value of any related collateral are shown separately in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities as a component of investments at value-unaffiliated, and collateral on securities loaned at value, respectively. As of period end, any securities on loan were collateralized by cash and/or U.S. Government obligations. Cash collateral invested by the securities lending agent, BlackRock Investment Management, LLC (“BIM”) if any, is disclosed in the Schedule of Investments.
Securities lending transactions are entered into by the Series under Master Securities Lending Agreements (each, an “MSLA”), which provide the right, in the event of default (including bankruptcy or insolvency), for the non-defaulting party to liquidate the collateral and calculate a net exposure to the defaulting party or request additional collateral. In the event that a borrower defaults, the Series, as lender, would offset the market value of the collateral received against the market value of the securities loaned. When the value of the collateral is greater than that of the market value of the securities loaned, the lender is left with a net amount payable to the defaulting party. However, bankruptcy or insolvency laws of a particular jurisdiction may impose restrictions on or prohibitions against such a right of offset in the event of an MSLA counterparty’s bankruptcy or insolvency. Under the MSLA, absent an event of default, the borrower can resell or re-pledge the loaned securities, and the Series can reinvest cash collateral received in connection with loaned securities. Upon an event of default, the parties’ obligations to return the securities or collateral to the other party are extinguished, and the parties can resell or re-pledge the loaned securities or the collateral received in connection with the loaned securities in order to satisfy the defaulting party’s net payment obligation for all transactions under the MSLA. The defaulting party remains liable for any deficiency.

| 1 | | Cash collateral with a value of $5,565,262 has been received in connection with securities lending agreements. Collateral received in excess of the value of securities loaned from the individual counterparty is not shown for financial reporting purposes. |
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 loaned 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.
5. Derivative Financial Instruments:
The Series engages in various portfolio investment strategies using derivative contracts both to increase the returns of the Series and/or to manage its exposure to certain risks such as credit risk, equity risk, interest rate risk, foreign currency exchange rate risk, commodity price risk or other risks (e.g., inflation risk). Derivative financial instruments categorized by risk exposure are included in the Schedule of Investments. These contracts may be transacted on an exchange or over-the-counter (“OTC”).
Futures Contracts: The Series invests in long and/or short positions in futures and options on futures contracts to gain exposure to, or manage exposure to changes in interest rates (interest rate risk), changes in the value of equity securities (equity risk) or foreign currencies (foreign currency exchange rate risk).
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 on a specified date. Depending on the terms of a contract, it is settled either through physical delivery of the underlying instrument on the settlement date or by payment of a cash amount on the settlement date. Upon entering into a 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 in the Schedule of Investments and cash deposited, if any, is shown as cash pledged for futures contracts in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Pursuant to the contract, the Series agrees to receive from or pay to the broker an amount of cash equal to the daily fluctuation in market value of the contract (“variation margin”). Variation margin is recorded as unrealized appreciation (depreciation) and, if any, shown as variation margin receivable (or payable) on futures contracts in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. When the contract is closed, a realized gain or loss is recorded in the Statement of Operations 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 futures contracts involves the risk of an imperfect correlation in the movements in the price of futures contracts and interest, foreign currency exchange rates or underlying assets.
6. Investment Advisory Agreement and Other Transactions with Affiliates:
The PNC Financial Services Group, Inc. is the largest stockholder and an affiliate of BlackRock, Inc. (“BlackRock”) for 1940 Act purposes.
Investment Advisory: The Master LLC, on behalf of the Series, entered into an Investment Advisory Agreement with the Manager, the Series’ investment adviser, an indirect, wholly-owned subsidiary of BlackRock, to provide investment advisory. The Manager is responsible for the management of the Series’ portfolio and provides the 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 which is determined by calculating a percentage of the Series’ average daily net assets based on an annual rate of 0.01%
| | | | | | |
| | | | | | |
| | QUANTITATIVE MASTER SERIES LLC | | DECEMBER 31, 2016 | | 33 |
| | |
Notes to Financial Statements (continued) | | Master Extended Market Index Series |
Expense Limitations, Waivers and Reimbursements: With respect to the Series, the Manager contractually agreed to waive and/or reimburse fees or expenses in order to limit expenses, excluding interest expense, dividend expense, tax 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 (“expense limitation”). The expense limitation as a percentage of average daily net assets is 0.12%
The Manager has agreed not to reduce or discontinue this contractual expense limitation prior to May 1, 2017, unless approved by the Board, including a majority of the Directors who are not “interested persons” of the Master LLC, as defined in the 1940 Act, or by a vote of a majority of the outstanding voting securities of the Series.
With respect to the Series, 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. This amount is shown as fees waived by the Manager in the Statement of Operations. For the year ended December 31, 2016, the amount waived was $8,730.
Effective September 1, 2016, the Manager voluntarily agreed to waive its advisory fee with respect to any portion of the Series’ assets invested in affiliated equity or fixed-income mutual funds or affiliated exchange-traded funds. Prior to September 1, 2016, the Manager did not waive such fees. This voluntary waiver may be reduced or discontinued at any time without notice.
For the year ended December 31, 2016, the Series reimbursed the Manager $6,947 for certain accounting services, which is included in accounting services in the Statement of Operations.
Securities Lending: The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission has issued an exemptive order which permits BIM, an affiliate of the Manager, to serve as securities lending agent for the Series, subject to applicable conditions. As securities lending agent, BIM bears all operational costs directly related to securities lending. The Series is responsible for expenses in connection with the investment of cash collateral received for securities on loan (the “collateral investment expenses”). The cash collateral is invested in a private investment company managed by the Manager or its affiliates. However, BIM has agreed to cap the collateral investment expenses of the private investment company to an annual rate of 0.04%. The investment adviser 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, BIM may lend securities only when the difference between the borrower rebate rate and the risk free rate exceeds a certain level (such securities, the “specials only securities”).
Pursuant to such agreement, the Series retains 80% of securities lending income. In addition, commencing the business day following the date that the aggregate securities lending income earned across certain funds in the Equity-Liquidity Complex in a calendar year exceeds a specified threshold, the Series, pursuant to the securities lending agreement, will retain for the remainder of the calendar year securities lending income in an amount equal to 85% of securities lending income.
The share of securities lending income earned by the Series is shown as securities lending — affiliated — net in the Statement of Operations. For the year ended December 31, 2016, the Series paid BIM $202,732 for securities lending agent services.
Officers and Directors: Certain officers and/or directors of the Master LLC are officers and/or directors of BlackRock or its affiliates.
Other Transactions: The Series may purchase securities from, or sell securities to, an affiliated fund provided the affiliation is due solely to having a common investment adviser, common officers, or common trustees. For the year ended December 31, 2016, the purchase and sale transactions and any net realized gains (losses) with an affiliated fund in compliance with Rule 17a-7 under the 1940 Act were as follows:
| | | | | | | | | | |
Purchases | | | Sales | | | Net Realized Gain | |
$ | 2,990,449 | | | $ | 12,407,469 | | | $ | 3,734,324 | |
7. Purchases and Sales:
For the year ended December 31, 2016, purchases and sales of investments excluding short-term securities were $75,612,524 and $95,439,303 respectively.
8. Income Tax Information:
The Series is classified as a partnership for federal income tax purposes. As such, each investor in the Series is treated as the owner of its proportionate share of net assets, income, expenses and realized and unrealized gains and losses of the Series. Therefore, no federal income tax provision is required. It is intended that the Series’ assets will be managed so an investor in the Series can satisfy the requirements of Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended.

Notes to Financial Statements (continued) | | Master Extended Market Index Series |
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 generally remains open for each of the four years ended December 31, 2016. 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 as of December 31, 2016, inclusive of the open tax return years, and does not believe that there are any uncertain tax positions that require recognition of a tax liability in the Series’ financial statements.
As of December 31, 2016, gross unrealized appreciation and depreciation based on cost for federal income tax purposes were as follows:
| | | | |
Tax cost | | $ | 450,288,887 | |
| | | | |
Gross unrealized appreciation | | $ | 275,424,608 | |
Gross unrealized depreciation | | | (49,772,372 | ) |
| | | | |
Net unrealized appreciation | | $ | 225,652,236 | |
| | | | |
9. Bank Borrowings:
The Master LLC, on behalf of the Series, along with certain other funds managed by the Manager and its affiliates (“Participating Funds”), is a party to a 364-day, $2.1 billion credit agreement with a group of lenders. Under this agreement, the Series may borrow to fund shareholder redemptions. Excluding commitments designated for certain individual funds, the Participating Funds, including the Series, can borrow up to an aggregate commitment amount of $1.6 billion at any time outstanding, subject to asset coverage and other limitations as specified in the agreement. The credit agreement has the following terms: a fee of 0.12% 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. The agreement expires in April 2017 unless extended or renewed. Prior to April 21, 2016, the credit agreement had a fee per annum of 0.06% 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, if applicable, are included in miscellaneous expenses in the Statement of Operations. These 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, 2016, the Series did not borrow under the credit agreement.
10. 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 to meet all its obligations, including the ability to pay principal and interest when due (issuer credit risk). The value of securities held by the Series may decline in response to certain events, including those directly involving the issuers of securities owned by the Series. Changes arising from the general economy, the overall market and local, regional or global political and/or social instability, as well as currency, interest rate and price fluctuations, may also affect the securities’ value.
On October 11, 2016, BlackRock implemented certain changes required by amendments to Rule 2a-7 under the 1940 Act, which governs the operations of U.S. money market funds. The Series may be exposed to additional risks when reinvesting cash collateral in money market funds that do not seek to maintain a stable NAV per share of $1.00 and which may be subject to redemption gates or liquidity fees under certain circumstances.
Valuation Risk: The market values of equities, such as common stocks and preferred securities or equity related investments, such as futures and options, may decline due to general market conditions which are not specifically related to a particular company. They may also decline due to factors which affect a particular industry or industries. The Series may invest in illiquid investments and may experience difficulty in selling those investments in a timely manner at the price that it believes the investments are worth. Prices may fluctuate widely over short or extended periods in response to company, market or economic news. Markets also tend to move in cycles, with periods of rising and falling prices. This volatility may cause the Series’ NAV to experience significant increases or decreases over short periods of time. If there is a general decline in the securities and other markets, the NAV of the Series may lose value, regardless of the individual results of the securities and other instruments in which the Series invests.
Counterparty Credit Risk: Similar to issuer credit risk, the Series may be exposed to counterparty credit risk, or the risk that an entity may fail to or be unable to perform on its commitments related to unsettled or open transactions. The Series manages counterparty credit risk by entering into transactions only with counterparties that the Manager 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 approximately their value recorded in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities, less any collateral held by the Series.
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.

| | |
Notes to Financial Statements (concluded) | | Master Extended Market Index Series |
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, the Series does not have a contractual right of offset against a clearing broker or clearinghouse in the event of a default (including the bankruptcy or insolvency). 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.
11. 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 Public Accounting Firm | | |
To the Board of Directors of Quantitative Master Series LLC and the Shareholders of Master Extended Market Index Series:
We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities, including the schedule of investments, of Master Extended Market Index Series, one of the series included in Quantitative Master Series LLC (the “Series”) as of December 31, 2016, and the related statement of operations for the year then ended, the statement of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended. These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Series’ management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and financial highlights based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and financial highlights are free of material misstatement. The Series is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Series’ internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of December 31, 2016, by correspondence with the custodian and brokers; where replies were not received from brokers, we performed other auditing procedures. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Master Extended Market Index Series of Quantitative Master Series LLC as of December 31, 2016, the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

(e)(1) Audit Committee Pre-Approval Policies and Procedures:
The Committee has adopted policies and procedures with regard to the pre-approval of services. Audit, audit-related and tax compliance services provided to the registrant on an annual basis require specific pre-approval by the Committee. The Committee also must approve other non-audit services provided to the registrant and those non-audit services provided to the Investment Adviser and Fund Service Providers that relate directly to the operations and the financial reporting of the registrant. Certain of these non-audit services that the Committee believes are (a) consistent with the SEC’s auditor independence rules and (b) routine and recurring services that will not impair the independence of the independent accountants may be approved by the Committee without consideration on a specific case-by-case basis (“general pre-approval”). The term of any general pre-approval is 12 months from the date of the pre-approval, unless the Committee provides for a different period. Tax or other non-audit services provided to the registrant which have a direct impact on the operations or financial reporting of the registrant will only be deemed pre-approved provided that any individual project does not exceed $10,000 attributable to the registrant or $50,000 per project. For this purpose, multiple projects will be aggregated to determine if they exceed the previously mentioned cost levels.
Any proposed services exceeding the pre-approved cost levels will require specific pre-approval by the Committee, as will any other services not subject to general pre-approval (e.g., unanticipated but permissible services). The Committee is informed of each service approved subject to general pre-approval at the next regularly scheduled in-person board meeting. At this meeting, an analysis of such services is presented to the Committee for ratification. The Committee may delegate to the Committee Chairman the authority to approve the provision of and fees for any specific engagement of permitted non-audit services, including services exceeding pre-approved cost levels.
(e)(2) None of the services described in each of Items 4(b) through (d) were approved by the Committee pursuant to the de minimus exception in paragraph (c)(7)(i)(C) of Rule 2-01 of Regulation S-X.
(f) Not Applicable
(g) The aggregate non-audit fees paid to the accountant for services rendered by the accountant to the registrant, the Investment Adviser and the Fund Service Providers were:
| | | | | | |
| | Entity Name | | Current Fiscal Year End | | Previous Fiscal Year End |
| | Master Extended Market Index Series of Quantitative Master Series LLC | | $13,260 | | $13,260 |
Additionally, SSAE 16 Review (Formerly, SAS No. 70) fees for the current and previous fiscal years of $2,129,000 and $2,391,000, respectively, were billed by D&T to the Investment Adviser.
(h) The Committee has considered and determined that the provision of non-audit services that were rendered to the Investment Adviser and the Fund Service Providers that were not pre-approved pursuant to paragraph (c)(7)(ii) of Rule 2-01 of Regulation S-X is compatible with maintaining the principal accountant’s independence.
