|
| |
Notes to Financial Statements (Unaudited) | BlackRock S&P 500 Index Fund |
1. Organization and Significant Accounting Policies:
BlackRock S&P 500 Index Fund (the “Fund”), is a series of BlackRock Index Funds, Inc. (the “Corporation), registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), as a non-diversified, open-end management investment company. The Fund is organized as a Maryland corporation. The Fund seeks to achieve its investment objective by investing all of its assets in Master S&P 500 Index Series (the “Series”) of Quantitative Master Series LLC. The value of the Fund’s investment in the Series reflects the Fund’s proportionate interest in the net assets of the Series. The percentage of the Series owned by the Fund at June 30, 2010 was 74.2%. The performance of the Fund is directly affected by the performance of the Series. 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. The Fund’s financial statements are prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“US GAAP”), which may require management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The Fund offers multiple classes of shares. Institutional Shares are sold without a sales charge and only to certain eligible investors. Investor A Shares are sold without a front-end sales charge. Both classes of shares have identical voting, dividend, liquidation and other rights and the same terms and conditions, except that Investor A Shares bear certain expenses related to the shareholder servicing of such shares and have exclusive voting rights with respect to matters relating to its shareholder servicing expenditures.
The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by the Fund:
Valuation: The Fund’s policy is to fair value its financial instruments at market value. The Fund records its investment in the Series at fair value based on the Fund’s proportionate interest in the net assets of the Series. Valuation of securities held by the Series, including categorization of fair value measurements, is discussed in Note 1 of the Series’ Notes to Financial Statements, which are included elsewhere in this report.
Investment Transactions and Investment Income: For financial reporting purposes, investment transactions in the Series are accounted for on a trade date basis. The Fund records daily its proportionate share of the Series’ income, expenses and realized and unrealized gains and losses. In addition, the Fund accrues its own expenses. Income and realized and unrealized gains and losses on investments are allocated daily to each class based on its relative net assets.
Dividends and Distributions: Dividends and distributions paid by the Fund are recorded on the ex-dividend dates. The amount and timing of dividends and distributions are determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations, which may differ from US GAAP.
Income Taxes: It is the Fund’s 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 its taxable income to its shareholders. Therefore, no federal income tax provision is required.
The Fund files US federal and various state and local tax returns. No income tax returns are currently under examination. The statute of limitations on the Fund’s US federal tax returns remains open for each of the four years ended December 31, 2009. The statutes of limitations on the Fund’s state and local tax returns may remain open for an additional year depending upon the jurisdiction. There are no uncertain tax positions that require recognition of a tax liability.
Other: Expenses directly related to the Fund or its classes are charged to that Fund or class. Other operating expenses shared by several funds are pro rated among those funds on the basis of relative net assets or other appropriate methods. Other expenses of the Fund are allocated daily to each class based on its relative net assets.

2. Administration Agreement and Other Transactions with Affiliates:
The PNC Financial Services Group, Inc. (“PNC”), Bank of America Corporation (“BAC”) and Barclays Bank PLC (“Barclays”) are the largest stockholders of BlackRock, Inc. (“BlackRock”). Due to the ownership structure, PNC is an affiliate of the Fund for 1940 Act purposes, but BAC and Barclays are not.
The Corporation, on behalf of the Fund, 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, the Fund pays the Administrator a monthly fee at an annual rate of 0.195% of the average daily value of the Fund’s net assets. Prior to June 1, 2010, the Fund paid the Administrator a monthly fee at an annual rate of 0.245% of the average daily value of the Fund’s net assets. The Fund does not pay an Advisory fee or investment management fee.
The Administrator has agreed voluntarily to waive and/or reimburse fees and/or expenses to limit the net annual operating expenses (excluding dividend expense, interest expense, acquired fund fees and expenses and certain other Fund expenses) will not exceed 0.40% for Institutional Shares and 0.65% for Investor A Shares of average daily net assets. These voluntary waivers or reimbursements may be reduced or discontinued at any time without notice.
The Corporation, on behalf of the Fund, entered into a Distribution Agreement and Distribution Plan with BlackRock Investments, LLC (“BRIL”), an affiliate of BlackRock. Pursuant to the Distribution Plan and in accordance with Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act, the Fund pays BRIL ongoing service and distribution fees. The fees are accrued daily and paid monthly at an annual rate of 0.25% based upon the average daily net assets of Investor A Shares.
Pursuant to sub-agreements with BRIL, broker-dealers and BRIL provide shareholder servicing and distribution services to the Fund. The ongoing service and/or distribution fee compensates BRIL and each broker-dealer for providing shareholder servicing services to Investor A shareholders. PNC Global Investment Servicing (U.S.) Inc. (“PNCGIS”), an indirect, wholly owned subsidiary of PNC and an affiliate of the Administrator, serves as transfer agent and dividend disbursing agent. Effective July 1, 2010, PNCGIS was sold to The Bank of New York Mellon Corporation and is no longer considered an affiliate of the Administrator. At the close of the sale, PNCGIS changed its name to BNY Mellon Investment Servicing (US) Inc. Transfer agency fees borne by the Fund are comprised of those fees charged for all shareholder communications including mailing of shareholder reports, dividend and distribution notices, and proxy materials for shareholder meetings, as well as per account and per transaction fees related to servicing and maintenance of shareholder accounts, including the issuing, redeeming and transferring of shares, check writing, anti-money laundering services, and customer identification services.
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 six months ended June 30, 2010, the 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 Statement of Operations.

• | Fair Value Measurements — Various inputs are used in determining the fair value of investments and derivatives, which are as follows: |
| |
| • | Level 1 — price quotations in active markets/exchanges for identical assets and liabilities |
| | |
| • | Level 2 — other observable inputs (including, but not limited to: quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in markets that are active, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the assets or liabilities (such as interest rates, yield curves, volatilities, prepayment speeds, loss severities, credit risks and default rates) or other market-corroborated inputs) |
| | |
| • | Level 3 — unobservable inputs based on the best information available in the circumstances, to the extent observable inputs are not available (including the Series’ own assumptions used in determining the fair value of investments and derivatives) |
The inputs or methodologies used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities. For information about the Series’ policy regarding valuation of investments and other significant accounting policies, please refer to Note 1 of the Notes to Financial Statements.

Notes to Financial Statements (Unaudited) | Master S&P 500 Index Series |
1. Organization and Significant Accounting Policies:
Master S&P 500 Index Series (the “Series”), a non-diversified, open–end management investment company, is a series of Quantitative Master Series LLC (the “Master LLC”). The Master LLC is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), and is organized as a Delaware limited liability company. The Master LLC’s Limited Liability Company Agreement permits the Board of Directors (the “Board”) to issue non-transferable interests, subject to certain limitations. The Series’ financial statements are prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“US GAAP”), which may require management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by the Series:
Valuation: The Series’ policy is to fair value its financial instruments and derivatives at market value using independent dealers or pricing services selected under the supervision of the Board. Equity investments traded on a recognized securities exchange or the NASDAQ Global Market System are valued at the last reported sale price that day or the NASDAQ official closing price, if applicable. For equity investments traded on more than one exchange, the last reported sale price on the exchange where the stock is primarily traded is used. Equity investments traded on a recognized exchange for which there were no sales on that day are valued at the last available bid (long positions) or ask (short positions) price. If no bid or ask price is available, the prior day’s price will be used, unless it is determined that such prior day’s price no longer reflects the fair value of the security. Financial futures contracts traded on exchanges are valued at their last sale price. Investments in open-end investment companies are valued at net asset value each business day. Short-term securities with remaining maturities of 60 days or less may be valued at amortized cost, which approximates fair value.
The Series values its investments in BlackRock Liquidity Series, LLC Money Market Series (the “Money Market Series”) at fair value, which is ordinarily based upon its pro rata ownership in the net assets of the underlying fund. 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 promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) under the 1940 Act. The Series may withdraw up to 25% of its investment daily, although the manager of the Money Market Series, in its sole discretion, may permit an investor to withdraw more than 25% on any one day.
In the event that application of these methods of valuation results in a price for an investment which is deemed not to be representative of the market value of such investment or is not available, the investment will be valued in accordance with a policy approved by the Board as reflecting fair value (“Fair Value Assets”). When determining the price for Fair Value Assets, the investment advisor and/or the sub-advisor seeks to determine the price that the Series might reasonably expect to receive from the current sale of that asset in an arm’s-length transaction. Fair value determinations shall be based upon all available factors that the investment advisor and/or sub-advisor deems relevant. The pricing of all Fair Value Assets is subsequently reported to the Board or a committee thereof.
Segregation and Collateralization: In cases in which the 1940 Act and the interpretive positions of the SEC require that the Series either delivers collateral or segregates assets in connection with certain investments (e.g., financial futures contracts), the Series will, consistent with SEC rules and/or certain interpretive letters issued by the SEC, segregate collateral or designate on its books and records cash or other liquid securities having a market value at least equal to the amount that would otherwise be required to be physically segregated. Furthermore, based on requirements and agreements with certain exchanges and third party broker-dealers, each party has requirements to deliver/deposit securities as collateral for certain investments.
Securities Lending: The Series may lend securities to financial institutions that provide cash as collateral, which will be maintained at all times in an amount equal to at least 100% of the current market value of the loaned securities. The market value of the loaned securities is determined at the close of business of the Series and any additional required collateral is delivered to the Series on the next business day. Securities lending income, as disclosed in the Statement of Operations, represents the income earned from the investment of the cash collateral, net of rebates paid to, or fees paid by, borrowers and less the fees paid to the securities lending agent. Loans of securities are terminable at any time and the borrower, after notice, is required to return borrowed securities within the standard time period for settlement of securities transactions. In the event that the borrower defaults on its obligation to return borrowed securities because of insolvency or for any other reason, the Series could experience delays and costs in gaining access to the collateral. The Series also could suffer a loss if the value of an investment purchased with cash collateral falls below the market value of loaned securities or if the value of an investment purchased with cash collateral falls below the value of the original cash collateral received.
Investment Transactions and Investment Income: For financial reporting purposes, investment transactions are recorded on the dates the transactions are entered into (the trade dates). Realized gains and losses on investment transactions are determined on the identified cost basis. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend dates. Upon notification from

issuers, some of the dividend income received from a real estate investment trust may be redesignated as a reduction of cost of the related investment and/or realized gain. Interest income is recognized on the accrual basis.
Income Taxes: The Series is classified as a partnership for federal income tax purposes. As such, each investor in the Series is treated as owner of its proportionate share of the net assets, income, expenses and realized and unrealized gains and losses of the Series. Therefore, no federal income tax provision is required. It is intended that the Series’ assets will be managed so an investor in the Series can satisfy the requirements of Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended.
The Series files US federal and various state and local tax returns. No income tax returns are currently under examination. The statute of limitations on the Series US federal tax returns remains open for each of the four years ended December 31, 2009. The statutes of limitations on the Series state and local tax returns may remain open for an additional year depending upon the jurisdiction.
Other: Expenses directly related to the Series are charged to that Series. Other operating expenses shared by several funds are pro rated among those funds on the basis of relative net assets or other appropriate methods. The Series has an arrangement with the custodian whereby fees may be reduced by credits earned on uninvested cash balances, which if applicable are shown as fees paid indirectly in the Statement of Operations. The custodian imposes fees on overdrawn cash balances, which can be offset by accumulated credits earned or may result in additional custody charges.
2. Derivative Financial Instruments:
The Series engages in various portfolio investment strategies using derivative contracts both to increase the returns of the Series and to economically hedge, or protect, its exposure to certain risks such as equity risk. These contracts may be transacted on an exchange. Losses may arise if the value of the contract decreases due to an unfavorable change in the market rates or values of the underlying instrument or if the counterparty does not perform under the contract. Counterparty risk related to exchange-traded financial futures contracts is minimal because of the protection against default provided by the exchange on which they trade. To the extent amounts due to the Series from its counterparties are not fully collateralized contractually or otherwise, the Series bears the risk of loss from counterparty non-performance. See Note 1 “Segregation and Collateralization” for information with respect to collateral practices. In addition, the Series manages counterparty risk by entering into agreements only with counterparties that it believes have the financial resources to honor their obligations and by monitoring the financial stability of those counterparties.
Financial Futures Contracts: The Series purchases or sells financial futures contracts and options on financial futures contracts to gain exposure to, or economically hedge against, changes in the value of equity securities (equity risk). Financial futures contracts are contracts for delayed delivery of securities at a specific future date and at a specific price. Pursuant to the contract, the Series agrees to receive from or pay to the broker an amount of cash equal to the daily fluctuation in value of the contract. Such receipts or payments are known as margin variation and are recognized by the Series as unrealized gains or losses. When the contract is closed, the Series records a realized gain or loss equal to the difference between the value of the contract at the time it was opened and the value at the time it was closed. The use of financial futures transactions involves the risk of an imperfect correlation in the movements in the price of financial futures contracts, interest rates and the underlying assets.

3. Investment Advisory Agreement and Other Transactions with Affiliates: |
|
The PNC Financial Services Group, Inc. (“PNC”), Bank of America Corporation (“BAC”) and Barclays Bank PLC (“Barclays”) are the largest stockholders of BlackRock, Inc. (“BlackRock”). Due to the ownership structure, PNC is an affiliate of the Series for 1940 Act purposes, but BAC and Barclays are not. |
The Master LLC, on behalf of the Series, entered into an Investment Advisory Agreement with BlackRock Advisors, LLC (the “Manager”), the Series’ investment advisor, an indirect, wholly owned subsidiary of BlackRock, to provide investment advisory and administration services.
The Manager is responsible for the management of the Series’ portfolio and provides the necessary personnel, facilities, equipment and certain other services necessary to the operations of the Series. For such services, the Series pays the Manager a monthly fee at an annual rate of 0.01% of the average daily value of the Series’ net assets.
Effective June 1, 2010, the Manager contractually agreed to waive its investment advisory fee by 0.005% of the average daily value of the Series’ net assets until May 1, 2011. This agreement may be terminated upon 90 days notice by a majority of the non-interested directors of the Series, or by a vote of a majority of the outstanding voting securities of the Series. Prior to June 1, 2010, the Manager had entered into an agreement which provided that the investment advisory fee for the Series, when combined with the administrative fee of S&P 500 Index Fund would not exceed 0.25% of average daily net assets until May 1, 2011. As a result, the Series paid a monthly fee at an annual rate of 0.005% of the average daily value of the Series’ net assets. For the six months ended June 30, 2010, the Series waived $56,793, which is included in fees waived by Advisor in the Statement of Operations.
The Manager voluntarily agreed to waive its advisory fees by the amount of investment advisory fees the Series pays to the Manager indirectly through its investment in affiliated money market funds, however the Manager does not waive its advisory fees by the amount of investment advisory fees paid through its investment in other affiliated investment companies, if any. For the six months ended June 30, 2010, the Series waived $4,275, which is included in fees waived by advisor in the Statement of Operations.
The Manager entered into a sub-advisory agreement with BlackRock Investment Management, LLC (“BIM”), an affiliate of the Manager. The Manager pays BIM for services it provides, a monthly fee that is a percentage of the investment advisory fees paid by the Series to the Manager.
For the six months ended June 30, 2010, the Series reimbursed the Manager $21,298 for certain accounting services, which is included in accounting services in the Statement of Operations.
The Master LLC, on behalf of the Series, received an exemptive order from the SEC permitting, among other things, to pay an affiliated securities lending agent a fee based on a share of the income derived from the securities lending activities and has retained BIM as the securities lending agent. BIM may, on behalf of the Series, invest cash collateral received by the Series for such loans, among other things, in a private investment company managed by the Manager or in registered money market funds advised by the Manager or its affiliates. The market value of securities on loan and the value of the related collateral are shown in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities as securities loaned and collateral on securities loaned at value, respectively. The cash collateral invested by BIM is disclosed in the Schedule of Investments. The share of income earned by the Series on such investments is shown as securities lending — affiliated in the Statement of Operations. For the six months ended June 30, 2010, BIM received $22,886 in securities lending agent fees related to securities lending activities for the Series.
Certain officers and/or directors of the Master LLC are officers and/or directors of BlackRock or its affiliates.
4. Investments:
Purchases and sales of investments, excluding short-term securities for the six months ended June 30, 2010, were $57,201,556 and $112,878,086, respectively.
5. Borrowings:
The Master LLC, on behalf of the Series, along with certain other funds managed by the Manager and its affiliates, is a party to a $500 million credit agreement with a group of lenders, which expires in November 2010. The Series may borrow under the credit agreement to fund shareholder redemptions. The Series paid its pro rata share of a 0.02% upfront fee on the aggregate commitment amount which was allocated to the Series based on its net assets as of October 31, 2009, a commitment fee of 0.10% per annum based on the Series’ pro rata share of the unused portion of the credit agreement, which is included in miscellaneous in the Statement of Operations, and interest at a rate equal to the higher of (a) the one-month LIBOR plus 1.25% per annum and (b) the Fed Funds rate plus 1.25% per annum on amounts borrowed. The Series did not borrow under the credit agreement during the six months ended June 30, 2010.

6. Market and Credit Risk:
In the normal course of business, the Series invests in securities and enters into transactions where risks exist due to fluctuations in the market (market risk) or failure of the issuer of a security to meet all its obligations (issuer credit risk). The value of securities held by the Series may decline in response to certain events, including those directly involving the issuers whose securities are owned by the Series; conditions affecting the general economy; overall market changes; local, regional or global political, social or economic instability; and currency and interest rate and price fluctuations. Similar to issuer credit risk, the Series may be exposed to counterparty credit risk, or the risk that an entity with which the Series has unsettled or open transactions may fail to or be unable to perform on its commitments. The Series manages counterparty credit risk by entering into transactions only with counterparties that it believes have the financial resources to honor their obligations and by monitoring the financial stability of those counterparties. Financial assets, which potentially expose the Series to market, issuer and counterparty credit risks, consist principally of financial instruments and receivables due from counterparties. The extent of the Series’ exposure to market, issuer and counterparty credit risks with respect to these financial assets is generally approximated by their value recorded in the Series’ Statement of Assets and Liabilities, less any collateral held by the Series.
7. Subsequent Events:
Management has evaluated the impact of all subsequent events on the Series through the date the financial statements were issued and has determined that there were no subsequent events requiring adjustment or additional disclosure in the financial statements.

Disclosure of Investment Advisory Agreement and Sub-Advisory Agreement |
The Board of Directors of Quantitative Master Series LLC (the “Master LLC”) met on April 20, 2010 and May 18 – 19, 2010 to consider the approval of the Master LLC’s investment advisory agreement (the “Advisory Agreement”) with BlackRock Advisors, LLC (the “Manager”), the Master LLC’s investment advisor, on behalf of the Master S&P 500 Index Series (the “Master Portfolio”), a series of the Master LLC. The Board of Directors of the Master LLC also considered the approval of the sub-advisory agreement (the “Sub-Advisory Agreement”) between the Manager and BlackRock Investment Management, LLC (the “Sub-Advisor”), with respect to the Master Portfolio. BlackRock S&P 500 Index Fund (the “Fund”), a series of BlackRock Index Funds, Inc. (the “Corporation”), is a “feeder” fund that invests all of its investable assets in the Master Portfolio. Accordingly, the Board of Directors of the Corporation also considered the approval of the Advisory Agreement and the Sub-Advisory Agreement with respect to the Master Portfolio. The Manager and the Sub-Advisor are referred to herein as “BlackRock.” The Advisory Agreement and the Sub-Advisory Agreement are referred to herein as the “Agreements.” For simplicity, the Board of Directors of the Master LLC and the Board of Directors of the Corporation are referred to herein collectively as the “Board,” and the members are referred to as “Board Members.”
Activities and Composition of the Board
The Board consists of thirteen individuals, eleven of whom are not “interested persons” of the Master LLC or the Corporation as defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”) (the “Independent Board Members”). The Board Members are responsible for the oversight of the operations of the Master LLC or the Corporation, as pertinent, and perform the various duties imposed on the directors of investment companies by the 1940 Act. The Independent Board Members have retained independent legal counsel to assist them in connection with their duties. The Co-Chairs of the Board are each Independent Board Members. The Board has established five standing committees: an Audit Committee, a Governance and Nominating Committee, a Compliance Committee, a Performance Oversight and Contract Committee and an Executive Committee, each of which is composed of Independent Board Members (except for the Executive Committee, which also has one interested Board Member) and is chaired by Independent Board Members. The Board also has one ad hoc committee, the Joint Product Pricing Committee, which consists of Independent Board Members and directors/trustees of the boards of certain other BlackRock-managed funds, who are not “interested persons” of their respective funds.
The Agreements
Pursuant to the 1940 Act, the Board is required to consider the continuation of the Agreements on an annual basis. In connection with this process, the Board assessed, among other things, the nature, scope and quality of the services provided to the Master Portfolio and the Fund by the personnel of BlackRock and its affiliates, including investment management, administrative and shareholder services, oversight of fund accounting and custody, marketing services and assistance in meeting applicable legal and regulatory requirements.
From time to time throughout the year, the Board, acting directly and through its committees, considers at each of its meetings factors that are relevant to its annual consideration of the renewal of the Agreements, including the services and support provided by BlackRock to the Master Portfolio, the Fund and their shareholders. Among the matters the Board considered were: (a) investment performance for one-, three- and five-year periods, as applicable, against peer funds, and applicable benchmarks, if any, as well as senior management’s and portfolio managers’ analysis of the reasons for any over performance or underperformance against its peers and/or benchmark, as applicable; (b) fees, including advisory, administration, if applicable, and other amounts paid to BlackRock and its affiliates by the Master Portfolio and/or the Fund for services, such as transfer agency, marketing and distribution, call center and fund accounting; (c) Master Portfolio’s and/or the Fund’s operating expenses; (d) the resources devoted to and compliance reports relating to the Master Portfolio’s and the Fund’s investment objective, policies and restrictions; (e) the Master LLC’s and the Corporation’s compliance with its respective Code of Ethics and compliance policies and procedures; (f) the nature, cost and character of non-investment management services provided by BlackRock and its affiliates; (g) BlackRock’s and other service providers’ internal controls; (h) BlackRock’s implementation of the proxy voting policies approved by the Board; (i) the use of brokerage commissions and execution quality of portfolio transactions; (j) BlackRock’s implementation of the Master LLC’s and/or the Corporation’s valuation and liquidity procedures; (k) an analysis of contractual and actual management fees for products with similar investment objectives across the open-end fund, closed-end fund and institutional account product channels; and (l) periodic updates on BlackRock’s business.
Board Considerations in Approving the Agreements
The Approval Process: Prior to the April 20, 2010 meeting, the Board requested and received materials specifically relating to the Agreements. The Board is engaged in a process with BlackRock to periodically review the nature and scope of the information provided to better assist its deliberations. The materials provided in connection with the April meeting included: (a) information independently compiled and prepared by Lipper, Inc. (“Lipper”) on fees and expenses of the Master Portfolio and the Fund, as applicable, and the investment performance of the Fund as compared with a peer group of funds as determined by Lipper (collectively, “Peers”); (b) information on the profitability of the Agreements to BlackRock and a discussion of fall-out benefits to BlackRock and its affiliates and significant shareholders; (c) a general analysis provided by BlackRock concerning investment advisory fees charged to other clients, such as institutional clients and closed-end funds, under similar investment mandates, as well as the performance of such other clients, as applicable; (d) the impact of economies of scale; (e) a summary of aggregate amounts paid by the Master Portfolio and/or the Fund to BlackRock; (f) sales and redemption

data regarding the Fund’s shares; and (g) if applicable, a comparison of management fees to similar BlackRock open-end funds, as classified by Lipper.
At an in-person meeting held on April 20, 2010, the Board reviewed materials relating to its consideration of the Agreements. As a result of the discussions that occurred during the April 20, 2010 meeting, the Board presented BlackRock with questions and requests for additional information and BlackRock responded to these requests with additional written information in advance of the May 18 – 19, 2010 Board meeting.
At an in-person meeting held on May 18 – 19, 2010, the Board of the Master LLC, including the Independent Board Members, unanimously approved the continuation of the Advisory Agreement between the Manager and the Master LLC with respect to the Master Portfolio and the Sub-Advisory Agreement between the Manager and the Sub-Advisor with respect to the Master Portfolio, each for a one-year term ending June 30, 2011. The Board of the Corporation, including the Independent Board Members, also considered the continuation of the Agreements and found the Agreements to be satisfactory. In approving the continuation of the Agreements, the Board considered: (a) the nature, extent and quality of the services provided by BlackRock; (b) the investment performance of the Master Portfolio, the Fund and BlackRock; (c) the advisory fee and the cost of the services and profits to be realized by BlackRock and its affiliates from their relationship with the Master Portfolio and the Fund; (d) economies of scale; and (e) other factors deemed relevant by the Board Members.
The Board also considered other matters it deemed important to the approval process, such as payments made to BlackRock or its affiliates relating to the distribution of Fund shares, services related to the valuation and pricing of portfolio holdings of the Master Portfolio, direct and indirect benefits to BlackRock and its affiliates and significant shareholders from their relationship with the Master Portfolio and the Fund and advice from independent legal counsel with respect to the review process and materials submitted for the Board’s review. The Board noted the willingness of BlackRock personnel to engage in open, candid discussions with the Board. The Board did not identify any particular information as controlling, and each Board Member may have attributed different weights to the various items considered.
A. Nature, Extent and Quality of the Services Provided by BlackRock: The Board, including the Independent Board Members, reviewed the nature, extent and quality of services provided by BlackRock, including the investment advisory services and the resulting performance of the Fund. Throughout the year, the Board compared the Fund’s performance to the performance of a comparable group of mutual funds, and the performance of a relevant benchmark, if any. The Board met with BlackRock’s senior management personnel responsible for investment operations, including the senior investment officers. The Board also reviewed the materials provided by the portfolio management team discussing performance and the investment objective, strategies and outlook.
The Board considered, among other factors, the number, education and experience of BlackRock’s investment personnel generally and the Master Portfolio’s portfolio management team, investments by portfolio managers in the funds they manage, BlackRock’s portfolio trading capabilities, BlackRock’s use of technology, BlackRock’s commitment to compliance and BlackRock’s approach to training and retaining portfolio managers and other research, advisory and management personnel. The Board also reviewed a general description of BlackRock’s compensation structure with respect to the Master Portfolio’s portfolio management team and BlackRock’s ability to attract and retain high-quality talent.
In addition to advisory services, the Board considered the quality of the administrative and non-investment advisory services provided to the Master Portfolio and the Fund. BlackRock and its affiliates and significant shareholders provide the Master Portfolio and the Fund with certain administrative, transfer agency, shareholder and other services (in addition to any such services provided to the Master Portfolio and the Fund by third parties) and officers and other personnel as are necessary for the operations of the Master Portfolio and the Fund. In addition to investment advisory services, BlackRock and its affiliates provide the Master Portfolio and the Fund with other services, including: (i) preparing disclosure documents, such as the prospectus, the statement of additional information and periodic shareholder reports; (ii) assisting with daily accounting and pricing; (iii) overseeing and coordinating the activities of other service providers; (iv) organizing Board meetings and preparing the materials for such Board meetings; (v) providing legal and compliance support; and (vi) performing other administrative functions necessary for the operation of the Master Portfolio and the Fund, such as tax reporting, fulfilling regulatory filing requirements, and call center services. The Board reviewed the structure and duties of BlackRock’s fund administration, accounting, legal and compliance departments and considered BlackRock’s policies and procedures for assuring compliance with applicable laws and regulations.
B. The Investment Performance of the Master Portfolio, the Fund and BlackRock: The Board, including the Independent Board Members, also reviewed and considered the performance history of the Master Portfolio and the Fund, as applicable. The Board noted that the Master Portfolio’s investment results correspond directly to the investment results of the Fund. In preparation for the April 20, 2010 meeting, the Board was provided with reports, independently prepared by Lipper, which included a comprehensive analysis of the Fund’s performance. The Board also reviewed a narrative and statistical analysis of the Lipper data that was prepared by BlackRock, which analyzed various factors that affect Lipper’s rankings. In connection with its review, the Board received and reviewed information regarding the investment performance of the Fund as compared to a representative group of similar funds as determined by Lipper and to all funds in the Fund’s applicable Lipper category. The Board was
| | | |
|

|
|
|
Disclosure of Investment Advisory Agreement and Sub-Advisory Agreement (continued) |
provided with a description of the methodology used by Lipper to select peer funds. The Board regularly reviews the performance of the Master Portfolio and the Fund, as applicable, throughout the year. The Board attaches more importance to performance over relatively long periods of time, typically three to five years.
The Board noted that the Fund performed below the median of its Lipper Performance Universe in each of the one-, three- and five-year periods reported. The Board and BlackRock reviewed the reasons for the Fund’s underperformance during these periods compared with its Peers. The Board was informed that, among other things, over the one-, three- and five-year periods the Fund met its objective of matching the risk and return of the S&P 500 Index before the application of fees and expenses.
C. Consideration of the Advisory Fees and the Cost of the Services and Profits to be Realized by BlackRock and its Affiliates from their Relationship with the Master Portfolio and the Fund: The Board, including the Independent Board Members, reviewed the Master Portfolio’s contractual advisory fee rate compared with the other funds in the Fund’s Lipper category. It also compared the Fund’s total expenses, as well as actual management fees, to those of other funds in its Lipper category. The Board considered the services provided and the fees charged by BlackRock to other types of clients with similar investment mandates, including separately managed institutional accounts.
The Board received and reviewed statements relating to BlackRock’s financial condition and profitability with respect to the services it provided the Master Portfolio and the Fund. The Board was also provided with a profitability analysis that detailed the revenues earned and the expenses incurred by BlackRock for services provided to the Master Portfolio and the Fund. The Board reviewed BlackRock’s profitability with respect to the Master Portfolio and the Fund, as applicable, and other funds the Board currently oversees for the year ended December 31, 2009 compared to available aggregate profitability data provided for the year ended Decem-ber 31, 2008. The Board reviewed BlackRock’s profitability with respect to other fund complexes managed by the Manager and/or its affiliates. The Board reviewed BlackRock’s assumptions and methodology of allocating expenses in the profitability analysis, noting the inherent limitations in allocating costs among various advisory products. The Board recognized that profitability may be affected by numerous factors including, among other things, fee waivers and expense reimbursements by the Manager, the types of funds managed, expense allocations and business mix, and the difficulty of comparing profitability as a result of those factors.
The Board noted that, in general, individual fund or product line profitability of other advisors is not publicly available. Nevertheless, to the extent such information was available, the Board considered BlackRock’s operating margin, in general, compared to the operating margin for leading investment management firms whose operations include advising open-end funds, among other product types. That data indicates that operating margins for BlackRock with respect to its registered funds are generally consistent with margins earned by similarly situated publicly traded competitors. In addition, the Board considered, among other things, certain third party data comparing BlackRock’s operating margin with that of other publicly traded asset management firms. That third party data indicates that larger asset bases do not, in themselves, translate to higher profit margins.
In addition, the Board considered the cost of the services provided to the Master Portfolio and the Fund by BlackRock, and BlackRock’s and its affiliates’ profits relating to the management and distribution of the Master Portfolio and the Fund and the other funds advised by BlackRock and its affiliates. As part of its analysis, the Board reviewed BlackRock’s methodology in allocating its costs to the management of the Master Portfolio and the Fund. The Board also considered whether BlackRock has the financial resources necessary to attract and retain high-quality investment management personnel to perform its obligations under the Agreements and to continue to provide the high quality of services that is expected by the Board.
The Board noted that the Master Portfolio’s contractual advisory fee rate was lower than or equal to the median contractual advisory fee rate paid by the Fund’s Peers, in each case before taking into account any expense reimbursements or fee waivers. The Board also noted that BlackRock (i) has contractually agreed to waive one-half of the advisory fee currently paid by the Master Portfolio and (ii) has contractually agreed to waive and/or reimburse fees and/or expenses so that the advisory fee for the Master Portfolio, when combined with the Fund’s administration fee, will not exceed a specified percentage of the Master Portfolio’s average daily net assets. Additionally, the Board noted that BlackRock has voluntarily agreed to waive fees and/or reimburse expenses in order to limit, to a specified amount, the Fund’s total operating expenses on a class-by-class basis, as applicable.
The Board noted that after discussions between the Board, including the Independent Board Members, and BlackRock, the Board approved BlackRock’s proposed contractual administration fee reduction effective June 1, 2010.
D. Economies of Scale: The Board, including the Independent Board Members, considered the extent to which economies of scale might be realized as the assets of the Master Portfolio and the Fund increase. The Board also considered the extent to which the Master Portfolio and the Fund benefit from such economies and whether there should be changes in the advisory fee rate or structure in order to enable the Master Portfolio and the Fund to participate in these economies of scale, for example

|
|
|
Disclosure of Investment Advisory Agreement and Sub-Advisory Agreement (concluded) |
through the use of breakpoints in the advisory fee based upon the asset level of the Master Portfolio.
E. Other Factors Deemed Relevant by the Board Members: The Board, including the Independent Board Members, also took into account other ancillary or “fall-out” benefits that BlackRock or its affiliates and significant shareholders may derive from their respective relationships with the Master Portfolio and the Fund, both tangible and intangible, such as BlackRock’s ability to leverage its investment professionals who manage other portfolios, an increase in BlackRock’s profile in the investment advisory community, and the engagement of BlackRock’s affiliates and significant shareholders as service providers to the Master Portfolio and the Fund, including for administrative, transfer agency and distribution services. The Board also considered BlackRock’s overall operations and its efforts to expand the scale of, and improve the quality of, its operations. The Board also noted that BlackRock may use and benefit from third party research obtained by soft dollars generated by certain mutual fund transactions to assist in managing all or a number of its other client accounts. The Board further noted that BlackRock completed the acquisition of a complex of exchange-traded funds (“ETFs”) on December 1, 2009, and that BlackRock’s funds may invest in such ETFs without any offset against the management fees payable by the funds to BlackRock.
In connection with its consideration of the Agreements, the Board also received information regarding BlackRock’s brokerage and soft dollar practices. The Board received reports from BlackRock which included information on brokerage commissions and trade execution practices throughout the year.
The Board noted the competitive nature of the open-end fund marketplace, and that shareholders are able to redeem their Fund shares if they believe that the Fund’s and/or the Master Portfolio’s fees and expenses are too high or if they are dissatisfied with the performance of the Fund.
Conclusion
The Board of the Master LLC, including the Independent Board Members, unanimously approved the continuation of the Advisory Agreement between the Manager and the Master LLC, with respect to the Master Portfolio, for a one-year term ending June 30, 2011 and the Sub-Advisory Agreement between the Manager and the Sub-Advisor, with respect to the Master Portfolio, for a one-year term ending June 30, 2011. As part of its approval, the Board of the Master LLC considered the detailed review of BlackRock’s fee structure, as it applies to the Master LLC, being conducted by the ad hoc Joint Product Pricing Committee. Based upon its evaluation of all of the aforementioned factors in their totality, the Board of the Master LLC, including the Independent Board Members, was satisfied that the terms of the Agreements were fair and reasonable and in the best interest of the Master Portfolio and its shareholders. The Board of the Corporation, including the Independent Board Members, also considered the continuation of the Agreements with respect to the Master Portfolio and found the Agreements to be satisfactory. In arriving at a decision to approve the Agreements, the Board of the Master LLC did not identify any single factor or group of factors as all-important or controlling, but considered all factors together, and different Board Members may have attributed different weights to the various factors considered. The Independent Board Members were also assisted by the advice of independent legal counsel in making this determination. The contractual fee arrangements for the Master Portfolio reflect the results of several years of review by the Board Members and predecessor Board Members, and discussions between such Board Members (and predecessor Board Members) and BlackRock. Certain aspects of the arrangements may be the subject of more attention in some years than in others, and the Board Members’ conclusions may be based in part on their consideration of these arrangements in prior years.

2 | BLACKROCK SMALL CAP INDEX FUND | JUNE 30, 2010 |
Although overall global economic and financial conditions have generally improved over the past year, the past several months have seen high levels of market volatility and diminishing investor confidence sparked by the sovereign debt crisis in Europe and mixed economic data that have raised concerns over the possibility that some economies could slide back into recession. Despite the uneven nature of recent market conditions, we continue to believe that the “Great Recession” likely ended at some point last summer, thanks primarily to massive fiscal and monetary stimulus, and that the global economy remains in recovery mode for most regions of the world. Regarding the US economy, we believe it is unlikely that the United States will experience a “double dip” recession, although we acknowledge that subpar growth is likely to persist for some time.
Global equity markets bottomed in early 2009 and since that time have moved unevenly higher as investors were lured back into the markets by depressed valuations, desire for higher yields and improvements in corporate earnings prospects. Volatility levels, however, have remained elevated — primarily as a result of uneven economic data and lingering deflation issues (especially in Europe). As the period drew to a close, equity markets had endured a significant correction that drove stock prices into negative territory on a year-to-date basis in almost every market. Over a 12-month basis, however, global equities posted positive returns thanks to improving corporate revenues and profits and a reasonably strong macro backdrop. From a geographic perspective, US equities have significantly outpaced their international counterparts over the past six and twelve months, as the domestic economic recovery has been more pronounced and as credit-related issues have held European markets down. Within the United States, smaller cap stocks have noticeably outperformed large caps.
In fixed income markets, yields have been moving unevenly over the past six and twelve months as improving economic conditions have been acting to push Treasury yields higher (and prices correspondingly lower), while concerns over ongoing deflation threats have acted as a counterweight. As the period drew to a close, however, Treasury yields fell sharply as investors flocked to the “safe haven” asset class in the face of escalating uncertainty. As a result, US Treasuries became one of the world’s best-performing asset classes on a six-month basis. High yield bonds have also continued to perform well, thanks in large part to ongoing high levels of investor demand. Meanwhile, municipal bonds performed in line with their taxable counterparts on a 12-month basis, but slightly underperformed over the last six months as investors rotated to the relative safety of Treasuries.
Regarding cash investments, yields on money market securities remain near all-time lows (producing returns only marginally above zero percent), with the Federal Open Market Committee reiterating that economic circumstances are likely to necessitate an accommodative interest rate stance for an “extended period.”
Against this backdrop, the major market averages posted the following returns:

Fund Summary as of June 30, 2010 | BlackRock Small Cap Index Fund |
|
|
Portfolio Management Commentary |
|
| |
| How did the Fund perform? |
| |
• | Through the investment of BlackRock Small Cap Index Fund (the “Fund”) in Master Small Cap Index Series (the “Series”) of Quantitative Master Series LLC (the “Master LLC”), for the six months ended June 30, 2010, the Institutional and Investor A Shares of the Fund underperformed its benchmark, the Russell 2000 Index. The Russell 2000 Index is a market-weighted index composed of approximately 2,000 common stocks issued by small-capitalization US companies in a range of businesses. |
| |
• | Returns for the Fund’s respective share classes differ from the benchmark based on individual share-class expenses. |
| |
| Describe the market environment. |
| |
• | At the beginning of 2010, we expected to see a modest cyclical recovery. For the first four months of the year, the cyclical recovery did dominate, but over the past two months, structural problems (especially those in Europe) began to win out, and risk assets (including US equities) have struggled. Financial markets took a dramatic turn in late April, as investor sentiment became dominated by concerns over the European sovereign debt crisis, some less-positive economic data and uncertainty over financial regulatory reform in the United States. Volatility levels moved noticeably higher over the past several months, and investors embarked on a renewed “flight to quality,” abandoning risk assets such as stocks in favor of safer alternatives, most notably US Treasury bonds and gold. |
| |
• | In the United States, the Dow Jones Industrial Average fell 5.00% and the Nasdaq Composite lost 6.63%, while the Russell 2000 Index fell only 1.95%. |
| |
• | Within the benchmark Russell 2000 Index, only three of the ten sectors posted positive returns for the period. Consumer Discretionary (+1.73%), Consumer Staples (+0.83%) and Financials (+0.79%) emerged as the best performing sectors over the period, while Telecommunication Services (–11.65%), Energy (–10.92%) and Materials (–8.03%) experienced the largest negative returns. |
| |
| Describe recent portfolio activity. |
| |
• | During the six-month period, as changes were made to the composition of the Russell 2000 Index, the Series purchased and sold securities to maintain its objective of replicating the risks and return of the benchmark. |
| |
| Describe portfolio positioning at period end. |
| |
• | The Series remains positioned to match the risk characteristics of its benchmark, irrespective of the market’s future direction. |
| |
| The views expressed reflect the opinions of BlackRock as of the date of this report and are subject to change based on changes in market, economic or other conditions. These views are not intended to be a forecast of future events and are no guarantee of future results. |
|
|
Derivative Financial Instruments |
|
The Series may invest in various derivative instruments, including financial futures contracts, as specified in Note 2 of the Notes to Financial Statements, which may constitute forms of economic leverage. Such instruments are used to obtain exposure to a market without owning or taking physical custody of securities or to hedge market and/or equity risks. Such derivative instruments involve risks, including the imperfect correlation between the value of a derivative instrument and the underlying asset or illiquidity of the derivative instrument. The Series’ ability to successfully use a derivative instrument depends on the investment advisor’s ability to accurately predict pertinent market movements, which cannot be assured. The use of derivative instruments may result in losses greater than if they had not been used, may require the Series to sell or purchase portfolio securities at inopportune times or for distressed values, may limit the amount of appreciation the Series can realize on an investment, may result in lower dividends paid to shareholders or may cause the Series to hold a security that it might otherwise sell. The Series’ investments in these instruments are discussed in detail in the Notes to Financial Statements.

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 page 5 assume reinvestment of all dividends and capital gain distributions, if any, at net asset value on the ex-dividend date. Investment return and principal value of shares will fluctuate so that shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Dividends paid to each class of shares will vary because of the different levels of service and transfer agency fees applicable to each class, which are deducted from the income available to be paid to shareholders.
Shareholders of this Fund may incur the following charges: (a) expenses related to transactions, redemption fees and exchange fees; and (b) operating expenses including advisory fees, service and distribution fees including 12b-1 fees and other Fund expenses. The expense example shown below (which is based on a hypothetical investment of $1,000 invested on January 1, 2010 and held through June 30, 2010) is intended to assist shareholders both in calculating expenses based on an investment in the Fund and in comparing these expenses with similar costs of investing in other mutual funds.
The table provides 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 share class under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During the Period.”
The table also provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the 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 this Fund and other funds, compare the 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in other funds’ shareholder reports.
The expenses shown in the table are intended to highlight shareholders’ ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional expenses, such as sales charges, redemption fees or exchange fees. Therefore, the hypothetical example is 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.

Because the Fund is a feeder fund, the expense table example reflects the expenses of both the Fund and the Series in which it invests. |

BLACKROCK SMALL CAP INDEX FUND | JUNE 30, 2010 | 11 |
| |
|
|
| |
Notes to Financial Statements (Unaudited) | BlackRock Small Cap Index Fund |
1. Organization and Significant Accounting Policies:
BlackRock Small Cap Index Fund (the “Fund”) a series of BlackRock Index Funds, Inc. (the “Corporation”) is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), as a non-diversified, open-end management investment company. The Corporation is organized as a Maryland corporation. The Fund seeks to achieve its investment objective by investing all of its assets in Master Small Cap Index Series (the “Series) of Quantitative Master Series LLC ( the “Master LLC”), which has the same investment objective and strategies as the Fund. The value of the Fund’s investment in the Series reflects the Fund’s proportionate interest in the net assets of the Series. The performance of the Fund is directly affected by the performance of the Series. The percentage of the Series owned by the Fund at June 30, 2010 was 32%. The Fund’s financial statements are prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“US GAAP”), which may require management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The Fund offers two classes of shares. Institutional Shares are sold without a sales charge and only to certain eligible investors. Investor A Shares are generally sold with a front-end sales charge. Both classes of shares have identical voting, dividend, liquidation and other rights and the same terms and conditions, except that Investor A Shares bear certain expenses related to the shareholder servicing of such shares.
The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by the Fund:
Valuation: The Fund’s policy is to fair value its financial instruments at market value. The Fund records its investment in the Series at fair value based on the Fund’s proportionate interest in the net assets of the Series. Valuation of securities held by the Series, including categorization of fair value measurements, is discussed in Note 1 of the Series�� Notes to Financial Statements, which are included elsewhere in this report.
Investment Transactions and Investment Income: For financial reporting purposes, investment transactions in the Series are accounted for on a trade date basis. The Fund records daily its proportionate share of the Series’ income, expenses and realized and unrealized gains and losses. In addition, the Fund accrues its own expenses. Income and realized and unrealized gains and losses on investments are allocated daily to each class based on its relative net assets.
Dividends and Distributions: Dividends and distributions paid by the Fund are recorded on the ex-dividend dates. The amount and timing of dividends and distributions are determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations, which may differ from US GAAP.
Income Taxes: It is the Fund’s 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 its taxable income to its shareholders. Therefore, no federal income tax provision is required.
The Fund files US federal and various state and local tax returns. No income tax returns are currently under examination. The statute of limitations on the Fund’s US federal tax returns remains open for each of the four years ended December 31, 2009. The statutes of limitations on the Fund’s state and local tax returns may remain open for an additional year depending upon the jurisdiction. There are no uncertain tax positions that require recognition of a tax liability.
Other: Expenses directly related to the Fund or its classes are charged to the Fund or class. Other operating expenses shared by several funds are pro rated among those funds on the basis of relative net assets or other appropriate methods. Other expenses of the Fund are allocated daily to each class based on its relative net assets.

2. Administration Agreement and Other Transactions with Affiliates:
The PNC Financial Services Group, Inc. (“PNC”), Bank of America Corporation (“BAC”) and Barclays Bank PLC (“Barclays”) are the largest stockholders of BlackRock, Inc. (“BlackRock”). Due to the ownership structure, PNC is an affiliate of the Fund for 1940 Act purposes, but BAC and Barclays are not.
The Corporation, on behalf of the Fund, 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, the Fund pays the Administrator a monthly fee at an annual rate of 0.29% of the average daily value of the Fund’s net assets. The Fund does not pay an Advisory fee or investment management fee.
The Administrator voluntarily agreed to waive and/or reimburse fees or expenses in order to limit total annual Fund operating expenses (excluding interest expense, acquired fund fees and expenses and certain other fund expenses) to 0.60% for Institutional Shares and 0.85% for Investor A Shares. These voluntary waivers and reimbursements may be reduced or discontinued at any time without notice. This amount is shown as fees waived by administrator in the Statement of Operations.
The Corporation, on behalf of the Fund, entered into a Distribution Agreement and Distribution Plan with BlackRock Investments, LLC (“BRIL”), which is an affiliate of BlackRock. Pursuant to the Distribution Plan and in accordance with Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act, the Fund pays BRIL ongoing service and distribution fees. The fees are accrued daily and paid monthly at annual rates of 0.25% based upon the average daily net assets of Investor A Shares.
Pursuant to sub-agreements with BRIL, broker-dealers and BRIL provide shareholder servicing to the Fund. The ongoing service fee compensates BRIL and each broker-dealer for providing shareholder servicing to Investor A shareholders.
PNC Global Investment Servicing (U.S.) Inc. (“PNCGIS”), an indirect, wholly owned subsidiary of PNC and an affiliate of the Manager, serves as transfer agent and dividend disbursing agent. Effective July 1, 2010, PNCGIS was sold to The Bank of New York Mellon Corporation and is no longer considered an affiliate of the Administrator. At the close of the sale, PNCGIS changed its name to BNY Mellon Investment Servicing (US) Inc. Transfer agency fees borne by the Fund are comprised of those fees charged for all shareholder communications including mailing of shareholder reports, dividend and distribution notices, and proxy materials for shareholder meetings, as well as per account and per transaction fees related to servicing and maintenance of shareholder accounts, including the issuing, redeeming and transferring of shares, check writing, anti-money laundering services, and customer identification services.
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 six months ended June 30, 2010, the Fund reimbursed the Manager the following amounts for costs incurred in running the call center, which are included in transfer agent in the Statement of Operations.

• | Fair Value Measurements — Various inputs are used in determining the fair value of investments and derivatives, which are as follows: |
| | |
| • | Level 1 — price quotations in active markets/exchanges for identical assets and liabilities |
| | |
| • | Level 2 — other observable inputs (including, but not limited to: quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in markets that are active, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the assets or liabilities (such as interest rates, yield curves, volatilities, prepayment speeds, loss severities, credit risks and default rates) or other market-corroborated inputs) |
| | |
| • | Level 3 — unobservable inputs based on the best information available in the circumstances, to the extent observable inputs are not available (including the Series’ own assumptions used in determining the fair value of investments and derivatives) |
The inputs or methodologies used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities. For information about the Series’ policy regarding valuation of investments and other significant accounting policies, please refer to Note 1 of the Notes to Financial Statements.
The following tables summarize the inputs used as of June 30, 2010 in determining the fair valuation of the Series’ investments and derivatives:

Notes to Financial Statements (Unaudited) | Master Small Cap Index Series |
1. Organization and Significant Accounting Policies:
Master Small Cap Index Series (the “Series”), a non-diversified, open-end management investment company, is a series of Quantitative Master Series LLC (the “Master LLC”). The Master LLC is registered as an investment company under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), and is organized as a Delaware limited liability company. The Master LLC’s Limited Liability Company Agreement permits the Board of Directors of the Master LLC (the “Board”) to issue non-transferable interests, subject to certain limitations. The Series’ financial statements are prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, which may require management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by the Master LLC:
Valuation: The Series’ policy is to fair value its financial instruments at market value using independent dealers or pricing services selected under the supervision of the Board. Equity investments traded on a recognized securities exchange or the NASDAQ Global Market System are valued at the last reported sale price that day or the NASDAQ official closing price, if applicable. For equity investments traded on more than one exchange, the last reported sale price on the exchange where the stock is primarily traded is used. Equity investments traded on a recognized exchange for which there were no sales on that day are valued at the last available bid price. If no bid price is available, the prior day’s price will be used, unless it is determined that such prior day’s price no longer reflects the fair value of the security. Financial futures contracts traded on exchanges are valued at their last sale price. Investments in open-end investment companies are valued at net asset value each business day. Short-term securities with remaining maturities of 60 days or less may be valued at amortized cost, which approximates fair value.
The Series values its 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 net assets of the underlying fund. 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 promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) under the 1940 Act. The Series may withdraw up to 25% of its investment daily, although the manager of the Money Market Series, in its sole discretion, may permit an investor to withdraw more than 25% on any one day.
In the event that application of these methods of valuation results in a price for an investment which is deemed not to be representative of the market value of such investment or is not available, the investment will be valued in accordance with a policy approved by the Board as reflecting fair value (“Fair Value Assets”). When determining the price for Fair Value Assets, the investment advisor and/or the sub-advisor seeks to determine the price that the Series might reasonably expect to receive from the current sale of that asset in an arm’s-length transaction. Fair value determinations shall be based upon all available factors that the investment advisor and/or sub-advisor deems relevant. The pricing of all Fair Value Assets is subsequently reported to the Board or a committee thereof.
Segregation and Collateralization: In cases in which the 1940 Act and the interpretive positions of the SEC require that the Series either delivers collateral or segregates assets in connection with certain investments (e.g., financial futures contracts), the Series will, consistent with SEC rules and/or certain interpretive letters issued by the SEC, segregate collateral or designate on its books and records cash or other liquid securities having a market value at least equal to the amount that would otherwise be required to be physically segregated. Furthermore, based on requirements and agreements with certain exchanges and third party broker-dealers, each party has requirements to deliver/deposit securities as collateral for certain investments.
Investment Transactions and Investment Income: For financial reporting purposes, investment transactions are recorded on the dates the transactions are entered into (the trade dates). Realized gains and losses on investment transactions are determined on the identified cost basis. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend dates. Upon notification from issuers, some of the dividend income received from a real estate investment trust may be redesignated as a reduction of cost of the related investment and/or realized gain. Interest income, including amortization of premium and accretion of discount on debt securities, is recognized on the accrual basis.
Securities Lending: The Series may lend securities to financial institutions that provide cash as collateral, which will be maintained at all times in an amount equal to at least 100% of the current market value of the loaned securities. The market value of the loaned securities is determined at the close of business of the Series and any additional required collateral is delivered to the Series on the next business day. Securities lending income, as disclosed in the Statement of Operations, represents the income earned from the investment of the cash collateral, net of rebates paid to, or fees paid by, borrowers and less the fees paid to the securities lending agent. Loans of securities are terminable at any time and the borrower, after notice, is required to return borrowed securities within the standard time period for settlement of securities transactions. In the event that the borrower defaults on its obligation to return borrowed securities because of insolvency or for any other reason, the Series could experience delays and costs in gaining access to the collateral. The Series also could suffer a loss if the value of an investment purchased with cash collateral falls below the market value of loaned securities or if the value of an investment purchased with cash collateral falls below the value of the original cash collateral received.

Notes to Financial Statements (continued) | Master Small Cap Index Series |
Income Taxes: The Series is classified as a partnership for federal income tax purposes. As such, each investor in the Series is treated as owner of its proportionate share of the net assets, income, expenses and realized and unrealized gains and losses of the Master LLC. Therefore, no federal income tax provision is required. It is intended that the Series assets will be managed so an investor in the Series can satisfy the requirements of Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended.
The Series files US federal and various state and local tax returns. No income tax returns are currently under examination. The statute of limitations on the Series’ US federal tax returns remains open for each of the four years ended December 31, 2009. The statutes of limitations on the Series’ state and local tax returns may remain open for an additional year depending upon the jurisdiction.
2. Derivative Financial Instruments:
The Series engages in various portfolio investment strategies using derivative contracts both to increase the returns of the Series and to economically hedge, or protect, its exposure to certain risks such as equity risk. These contracts may be transacted on an exchange. Losses may arise if the value of the contract decreases due to an unfavorable change in the market rates or values of the underlying instrument or if the counterparty does not perform under the contract. Counterparty risk related to exchange traded financial futures contracts is minimal because of the protection against defaults provided by the exchange on which they trade.
Financial Futures Contracts: The Series purchases or sells financial futures contracts and options on financial futures contracts to gain exposure to, or economically hedge against, changes in the value of equity securities (equity risk). Financial futures contracts are contracts for delayed delivery of securities or currencies at a specific future date and at a specific price or yield. Pursuant to the contract, the Series agrees to receive from or pay to the broker an amount of cash equal to the daily fluctuation in value of the contract. Such receipts or payments are known as margin variation and are recognized by the Series as unrealized gains or losses. When the contract is closed, the Series records a realized gain or loss equal to the difference between the value of the contract at the time it was opened and the value at the time it was closed. The use of financial futures transactions involves the risk of an imperfect correlation in the movements in the price of financial futures contracts, interest rates and the underlying assets.

3. Investment Advisory Agreement and Other Transactions with Affiliates:
The PNC Financial Services Group, Inc. (“PNC”), Bank of America Corporation (“BAC”) and Barclays Bank PLC (“Barclays”) are the largest stockholders of BlackRock, Inc. (“BlackRock”). Due to the ownership structure, PNC is an affiliate of the Series for 1940 Act purposes, but BAC and Barclays are not.
The Master LLC, on behalf of the Series, entered into an Investment Advisory Agreement with BlackRock Advisors, LLC (the “Manager”), the Series’ investment advisor, an indirect, wholly owned subsidiary of BlackRock, to provide investment advisory and administration services. The Manager is responsible for the management of the Series’ portfolio and provides the necessary personnel, facilities, equipment and certain other services necessary to the operations of the Series. For such services, the Series pays the Manager a monthly fee at an annual rate 0.01% of the Series’ average daily net assets.
The Manager contractually agreed to waive and/or reimburse fees and/or expenses to ensure that the management fee of the Series, when
| | |

|
|
Notes to Financial Statements (continued) | Master Small Cap Index Series |
combined with the administration fee of BlackRock Small Cap Index Fund of BlackRock Index Funds, Inc., will not exceed 0.30%. No fees are currently being waived for the Series.
The Manager entered into a contractual arrangement with the Master LLC with respect to the Series under which the Manager will waive and/or reimburse its fees and/or expenses so that the total annual operating expenses incurred by the Series (excluding interest expense, acquired fund fees and certain other Series’ expenses) will not exceed 0.08% of the average daily value of the Series’ net assets. For the six months ended June 30, 2010, the Manager waived $18,703, which is included in fees waived by advisor in the Statement of Operations.
The Manager has agreed not to reduce or discontinue these contractual waivers or reimbursements before May 1, 2011 unless approved by the Board, including a majority of the non-interested trustees.
The Manager voluntarily agreed to waive its advisory fees by the amount of investment advisory fees the Series pays to the Manager indirectly through its investment in affiliated money market funds; however, the Manager does not waive its advisory fees by the amount of investment advisory fees paid through its investment in other affiliated investment companies, if any. For the six months ended June 30, 2010, the manager waived advisory fees in the amount of $2,905, which is included in fees waived by advisor in the Statement of Operations.
The Manager entered into a sub-advisory agreement with BlackRock Investment Management, LLC (“BIM”), an affiliate of the Manager. The Manager pays BIM for services it provides, a monthly fee that is a percentage of the investment advisory fees paid by the Series to the Manager.
For the six months ended June 30, 2010, the Series reimbursed the Manager $4,186 for certain accounting services, which is included in accounting services in the Statement of Operations.
The Master LLC, on behalf of the Series, received an exemptive order from the SEC permitting, among other things, to pay an affiliated securities lending agent a fee based on a share of the income derived from the securities lending activities and has retained BIM as the securities lending agent. BIM may, on behalf of the Master LLC and the Series, invest cash collateral received by the Series for such loans, among other things, in a private investment company managed by the Manager or in registered money market funds advised by the Manager or its affiliates. The market value of securities on loan and the value of the related collateral are shown in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities as securities loaned and collateral on securities loaned, at value, respectively. The cash collateral invested by BIM is disclosed in the Schedule of Investments. The share of income earned by the Series on such investments is shown as securities lending — affiliated in the Statement of Operations. For the six months ended June 30, 2010, BIM received $23,627 in securities lending agent fees related to securities lending activities for the Series.
Certain officers and/or directors of the Master LLC are officers and/or directors of BlackRock or its affiliates.
4. Investments:
Purchases and sales of investments, excluding short-term securities for the six months ended June 30, 2010, were $115,391,532 and $42,064,540, respectively.
5. Borrowings:
The Master LLC, on behalf of the Series, along with certain other funds managed by the Manager and its affiliates, is a party to a $500 million credit agreement with a group of lenders, which expires in November 2010.The Series may borrow under the credit agreement to fund shareholder redemptions. The Series paid its pro rata share of a 0.02% upfront fee on the aggregate commitment amount which was allocated to the Series based on its net assets as of October 31, 2009, a commitment fee of 0.10% per annum based on the Series’ pro rata share of the unused portion of the credit agreement, which is included in miscellaneous in the Statement of Operations, and interest at a rate equal to the higher of (a) the one-month LIBOR plus 1.25% per annum and (b) the Fed Funds rate plus 1.25% per annum on amounts borrowed. The Series did not borrow under the credit agreement during the six months ended June 30, 2010.
6. Concentration, Market and Credit Risk:
In the normal course of business, the Series invests in securities and enters into transactions where risks exist due to fluctuations in the market (market risk) or failure of the issuer of a security to meet all its obligations (issuer credit risk). The value of securities held by the Series may decline in response to certain events, including those directly involving the issuers whose securities are owned by the Series; conditions affecting the general economy; overall market changes; local, regional or global political, social or economic instability; and currency and interest rate and price fluctuations. Similar to issuer credit risk, the Series may be exposed to counterparty credit risk, or the risk that an entity with which the Series has unsettled or open transactions may fail to or be unable to perform its commitments. The Series manages counterparty credit risk by entering into transactions only with counterparties that it believes have the financial resources to honor their obligations and by monitoring the financial stability of those counterparties. Financial assets, which potentially expose the Series to market, issuer and counterparty credit risks, consist principally of financial instruments and receivables due from counterparties. The extent of the Series’ exposure to market, issuer and counterparty credit risks with respect to these financial assets is generally approximated by their value recorded in the Series’ Statement of Assets and Liabilities, less any collateral held by the Series.
The Series invests a significant portion of its assets in securities in the financial services sector. Changes in economic conditions affecting the sector would have a greater impact on the Series and could affect the value, income and/or liquidity of positions in such securities.

Disclosure of Investment Advisory Agreement and Sub-Advisory Agreement |
The Board of Directors of Quantitative Master Series LLC (the “Master LLC”) met on April 20, 2010 and May 18 – 19, 2010 to consider the approval of the Master LLC’s investment advisory agreement (the “Advisory Agreement”) with BlackRock Advisors, LLC (the “Manager”), the Master LLC’s investment advisor, on behalf of the Master Small Cap Index Series (the “Master Portfolio”), a series of the Master LLC. The Board of Directors of the Master LLC also considered the approval of the sub-advisory agreement (the “Sub-Advisory Agreement”) between the Manager and BlackRock Investment Management, LLC (the “Sub-Advisor”), with respect to the Master Portfolio. BlackRock Small Cap Index Fund (the “Fund”), a series of BlackRock Index Funds, Inc. (the “Corporation”), is a “feeder” fund that invests all of its investable assets in the Master Portfolio. Accordingly, the Board of Directors of the Corporation also considered the approval of the Advisory Agreement and the Sub-Advisory Agreement with respect to the Master Portfolio. The Manager and the Sub-Advisor are referred to herein as “BlackRock.” The Advisory Agreement and the Sub-Advisory Agreement are referred to herein as the “Agreements.” For simplicity, the Board of Directors of the Master LLC and the Board of Directors of the Corporation are referred to herein collectively as the “Board,” and the members are referred to as “Board Members.”
Activities and Composition of the Board
The Board consists of thirteen individuals, eleven of whom are not “interested persons” of the Master LLC or the Corporation as defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”) (the “Independent Board Members”). The Board Members are responsible for the oversight of the operations of the Master LLC or the Corporation, as pertinent, and perform the various duties imposed on the directors of investment companies by the 1940 Act. The Independent Board Members have retained independent legal counsel to assist them in connection with their duties. The Co-Chairs of the Board are each Independent Board Members. The Board has established five standing committees: an Audit Committee, a Governance and Nominating Committee, a Compliance Committee, a Performance Oversight and Contract Committee and an Executive Committee, each of which is composed of Independent Board Members (except for the Executive Committee, which also has one interested Board Member) and is chaired by Independent Board Members. The Board also has one ad hoc committee, the Joint Product Pricing Committee, which consists of Independent Board Members and directors/ trustees of the boards of certain other BlackRock-managed funds, who are not “interested persons” of their respective funds.
The Agreements
Pursuant to the 1940 Act, the Board is required to consider the continuation of the Agreements on an annual basis. In connection with this process, the Board assessed, among other things, the nature, scope and quality of the services provided to the Master Portfolio and the Fund by the personnel of BlackRock and its affiliates, including investment management, administrative and shareholder services, oversight of fund accounting and custody, marketing services and assistance in meeting applicable legal and regulatory requirements.
From time to time throughout the year, the Board, acting directly and through its committees, considers at each of its meetings factors that are relevant to its annual consideration of the renewal of the Agreements, including the services and support provided by BlackRock to the Master Portfolio, the Fund and their shareholders. Among the matters the Board considered were: (a) investment performance for one-, three- and five-year periods, as applicable, against peer funds, and applicable benchmarks, if any, as well as senior management and portfolio managers’ analysis of the reasons for any over performance or underperformance against its peers and/or benchmark, as applicable; (b) fees, including advisory, administration, if applicable, and other amounts paid to BlackRock and its affiliates by the Master Portfolio and/or the Fund for services, such as transfer agency, marketing and distribution, call center and fund accounting; (c) Master Portfolio’s and/or the Fund’s operating expenses; (d) the resources devoted to and compliance reports relating to the Master Portfolio’s and the Fund’s investment objective, policies and restrictions; (e) the Master LLC’s and the Corporation’s compliance with its respective Code of Ethics and compliance policies and procedures; (f) the nature, cost and character of non-investment management services provided by BlackRock and its affiliates; (g) BlackRock’s and other service providers’ internal controls; (h) BlackRock’s implementation of the proxy voting policies approved by the Board; (i) the use of brokerage commissions and execution quality of portfolio transactions; (j) BlackRock’s implementation of the Master LLC’s and/or the Corporation’s valuation and liquidity procedures; (k) an analysis of contractual and actual management fees for products with similar investment objectives across the open-end fund, closed-end fund and institutional account product channels; and (l) periodic updates on BlackRock’s business.
Board Considerations in Approving the Agreements
The Approval Process: Prior to the April 20, 2010 meeting, the Board requested and received materials specifically relating to the Agreements. The Board is engaged in a process with BlackRock to periodically review the nature and scope of the information provided to better assist its deliberations. The materials provided in connection with the April meeting included: (a) information independently compiled and prepared by Lipper, Inc. (“Lipper”) on fees and expenses of the Master Portfolio and the Fund, as applicable, and the investment performance of the Fund as compared with a peer group of funds as determined by Lipper (collectively, “Peers”); (b) information on the profitability of the Agreements to BlackRock and a discussion of fall-out benefits to BlackRock and its affiliates and significant shareholders; (c) a general analysis provided by BlackRock concerning investment advisory fees charged to other clients, such as institutional clients and closed-end funds, under similar investment mandates, as well as the performance of such other clients, as applicable; (d) the impact of economies of scale; (e) a summary of aggregate amounts paid by the Master Portfolio and/or the Fund to BlackRock; (f) sales and redemption

Disclosure of Investment Advisory Agreement and Sub-Advisory Agreement (continued) |
data regarding the Fund’s shares; and (g) if applicable, a comparison of management fees to similar BlackRock open-end funds, as classified by Lipper.
At an in-person meeting held on April 20, 2010, the Board reviewed materials relating to its consideration of the Agreements. As a result of the discussions that occurred during the April 20, 2010 meeting, the Board presented BlackRock with questions and requests for additional information and BlackRock responded to these requests with additional written information in advance of the May 18 – 19, 2010 Board meeting.
At an in-person meeting held on May 18 – 19, 2010, the Board of the Master LLC, including the Independent Board Members, unanimously approved the continuation of the Advisory Agreement between the Manager and the Master LLC with respect to the Master Portfolio and the Sub-Advisory Agreement between the Manager and the Sub-Advisor with respect to the Master Portfolio, each for a one-year term ending June 30, 2011. The Board of the Corporation, including the Independent Board Members, also considered the continuation of the Agreements and found the Agreements to be satisfactory. In approving the continuation of the Agreements, the Board considered: (a) the nature, extent and quality of the services provided by BlackRock; (b) the investment performance of the Master Portfolio, the Fund and BlackRock; (c) the advisory fee and the cost of the services and profits to be realized by BlackRock and its affiliates from their relationship with the Master Portfolio and the Fund; (d) economies of scale; and (e) other factors deemed relevant by the Board Members.
The Board also considered other matters it deemed important to the approval process, such as payments made to BlackRock or its affiliates relating to the distribution of Fund shares, services related to the valuation and pricing of portfolio holdings of the Master Portfolio, direct and indirect benefits to BlackRock and its affiliates and significant shareholders from their relationship with the Master Portfolio and the Fund and advice from independent legal counsel with respect to the review process and materials submitted for the Board’s review. The Board noted the willingness of BlackRock personnel to engage in open, candid discussions with the Board. The Board did not identify any particular information as controlling, and each Board Member may have attributed different weights to the various items considered.
A. Nature, Extent and Quality of the Services Provided by BlackRock: The Board, including the Independent Board Members, reviewed the nature, extent and quality of services provided by BlackRock, including the investment advisory services and the resulting performance of the Fund. Throughout the year, the Board compared the Fund’s performance to the performance of a comparable group of mutual funds, and the performance of a relevant benchmark, if any. The Board met with BlackRock’s senior management personnel responsible for investment operations, including the senior investment officers. The Board also reviewed the materials provided by the portfolio management team discussing performance and the investment objective, strategies and outlook.
The Board considered, among other factors, the number, education and experience of BlackRock’s investment personnel generally and the Master Portfolio’s portfolio management team, investments by portfolio managers in the funds they manage, BlackRock’s portfolio trading capabilities, BlackRock’s use of technology, BlackRock’s commitment to compliance and BlackRock’s approach to training and retaining portfolio managers and other research, advisory and management personnel. The Board also reviewed a general description of BlackRock’s compensation structure with respect to the Master Portfolio’s portfolio management team and BlackRock’s ability to attract and retain high-quality talent.
In addition to advisory services, the Board considered the quality of the administrative and non-investment advisory services provided to the Master Portfolio and the Fund. BlackRock and its affiliates and significant shareholders provide the Master Portfolio and the Fund with certain administrative, transfer agency, shareholder and other services (in addition to any such services provided to the Master Portfolio and the Fund by third parties) and officers and other personnel as are necessary for the operations of the Master Portfolio and the Fund. In addition to investment advisory services, BlackRock and its affiliates provide the Master Portfolio and the Fund with other services, including: (i) preparing disclosure documents, such as the prospectus, the statement of additional information and periodic shareholder reports; (ii) assisting with daily accounting and pricing; (iii) overseeing and coordinating the activities of other service providers; (iv) organizing Board meetings and preparing the materials for such Board meetings; (v) providing legal and compliance support; and (vi) performing other administrative functions necessary for the operation of the Master Portfolio and the Fund, such as tax reporting, fulfilling regulatory filing requirements, and call center services. The Board reviewed the structure and duties of BlackRock’s fund administration, accounting, legal and compliance departments and considered BlackRock’s policies and procedures for assuring compliance with applicable laws and regulations.
B. The Investment Performance of the Master Portfolio, the Fund and BlackRock: The Board, including the Independent Board Members, also reviewed and considered the performance history of the Master Portfolio and the Fund, as applicable. The Board noted that the Master Portfolio’s investment results correspond directly to the investment results of the Fund. In preparation for the April 20, 2010 meeting, the Board was provided with reports, independently prepared by Lipper, which included a comprehensive analysis of the Fund’s performance. The Board also reviewed a narrative and statistical analysis of the Lipper data that was prepared by BlackRock, which analyzed various factors that affect Lipper’s rankings. In connection with its review, the Board received and reviewed information regarding the investment performance of the Fund as compared to a representative group of similar funds as determined by Lipper and to all funds in the Fund’s applicable Lipper category. The Board was

|

|
Disclosure of Investment Advisory Agreement and Sub-Advisory Agreement (continued) |
provided with a description of the methodology used by Lipper to select peer funds. The Board regularly reviews the performance of the Master Portfolio and the Fund, as applicable, throughout the year. The Board attaches more importance to performance over relatively long periods of time, typically three to five years.
The Board noted that the Fund performed below the median of its Lipper Performance Universe in each of the one-, three- and five-year periods reported. The Board and BlackRock reviewed the reasons for the Fund’s underperformance during these periods compared with its Peers. The Board was informed that, among other things, over the one-, three- and five-year periods, the Fund met its objective of matching the risk and return of the Russell 2000 Index prior to fees and expenses.
The Board and BlackRock discussed BlackRock’s strategy for improving the Fund’s performance and BlackRock’s commitment to providing the resources necessary to assist the Master Portfolio’s portfolio managers and to improve the Fund’s performance.
C. Consideration of the Advisory Fees and the Cost of the Services and Profits to be Realized by BlackRock and its Affiliates from their Relationship with the Master Portfolio and the Fund: The Board, including the Independent Board Members, reviewed the Master Portfolio’s contractual advisory fee rate compared with the other funds in the Fund’s Lipper category. It also compared the Fund’s total expenses, as well as actual management fees, to those of other funds in its Lipper category. The Board considered the services provided and the fees charged by BlackRock to other types of clients with similar investment mandates, including separately managed institutional accounts.
The Board received and reviewed statements relating to BlackRock’s financial condition and profitability with respect to the services it provided the Master Portfolio and the Fund. The Board was also provided with a profitability analysis that detailed the revenues earned and the expenses incurred by BlackRock for services provided to the Master Portfolio and the Fund. The Board reviewed BlackRock’s profitability with respect to the Master Portfolio and the Fund, as applicable, and other funds the Board currently oversees for the year ended December 31, 2009 compared to available aggregate profitability data provided for the year ended December 31, 2008. The Board reviewed BlackRock’s profitability with respect to other fund complexes managed by the Manager and/or its affiliates. The Board reviewed BlackRock’s assumptions and methodology of allocating expenses in the profitability analysis, noting the inherent limitations in allocating costs among various advisory products. The Board recognized that profitability may be affected by numerous factors including, among other things, fee waivers and expense reimbursements by the Manager, the types of funds managed, expense allocations and business mix, and the difficulty of comparing profitability as a result of those factors.
The Board noted that, in general, individual fund or product line profitability of other advisors is not publicly available. Nevertheless, to the extent such information was available, the Board considered BlackRock’s operating margin, in general, compared to the operating margin for leading investment management firms whose operations include advising open-end funds, among other product types. That data indicates that operating margins for BlackRock with respect to its registered funds are generally consistent with margins earned by similarly situated publicly traded competitors. In addition, the Board considered, among other things, certain third party data comparing BlackRock’s operating margin with that of other publicly traded asset management firms. That third party data indicates that larger asset bases do not, in themselves, translate to higher profit margins.
In addition, the Board considered the cost of the services provided to the Master Portfolio and the Fund by BlackRock, and BlackRock’s and its affiliates’ profits relating to the management and distribution of the Master Portfolio and the Fund and the other funds advised by BlackRock and its affiliates. As part of its analysis, the Board reviewed BlackRock’s methodology in allocating its costs to the management of the Master Portfolio and the Fund. The Board also considered whether BlackRock has the financial resources necessary to attract and retain high-quality investment management personnel to perform its obligations under the Agreements and to continue to provide the high quality of services that is expected by the Board.
The Board noted that the Fund’s contractual advisory fee rate was lower than or equal to the median contractual advisory fee rate paid by the Fund’s Peers, in each case before taking into account any expense reimbursements or fee waivers. The Board also noted that BlackRock has contractually agreed to waive fees and/or reimburse expenses so that the advisory fee of the Master Portfolio, when combined with the administration fee of the Fund, will not exceed a specified amount. Additionally, the Board noted that BlackRock has contractually agreed to waive fees and/or reimburse expenses in order to limit, to a specified amount, the Master Portfolio’s total operating expenses as a percentage of the Master Portfolio’s average daily net assets and has voluntarily agreed to waive fees and/or reimburse expenses to limit the Fund’s total operating expenses as a percentage of the Fund’s average daily net assets on a class-by-class basis, as applicable.
D. Economies of Scale: The Board, including the Independent Board Members, considered the extent to which economies of scale might be realized as the assets of the Master Portfolio and the Fund increase. The Board also considered the extent to which the Master Portfolio and the Fund benefit from such economies and whether there should be changes in the advisory fee rate or structure in order to enable the Master Portfolio and the Fund to participate in these economies of scale, for example through the use of breakpoints in the advisory fee based upon the asset level of the Master Portfolio.

Disclosure of Investment Advisory Agreement and Sub-Advisory Agreement (concluded) |
E. Other Factors Deemed Relevant by the Board Members: The Board, including the Independent Board Members, also took into account other ancillary or “fall-out” benefits that BlackRock or its affiliates and significant shareholders may derive from their respective relationships with the Master Portfolio and the Fund, both tangible and intangible, such as BlackRock’s ability to leverage its investment professionals who manage other portfolios, an increase in BlackRock’s profile in the investment advisory community, and the engagement of BlackRock’s affiliates and significant shareholders as service providers to the Master Portfolio and the Fund, including for administrative, transfer agency and distribution services. The Board also considered BlackRock’s overall operations and its efforts to expand the scale of, and improve the quality of, its operations. The Board also noted that BlackRock may use and benefit from third party research obtained by soft dollars generated by certain mutual fund transactions to assist in managing all or a number of its other client accounts. The Board further noted that BlackRock completed the acquisition of a complex of exchange-traded funds (“ETFs”) on December 1, 2009, and that BlackRock’s funds may invest in such ETFs without any offset against the management fees payable by the funds to BlackRock.
In connection with its consideration of the Agreements, the Board also received information regarding BlackRock’s brokerage and soft dollar practices. The Board received reports from BlackRock which included information on brokerage commissions and trade execution practices throughout the year.
The Board noted the competitive nature of the open-end fund marketplace, and that shareholders are able to redeem their Fund shares if they believe that the Fund’s fees and expenses are too high or if they are dissatisfied with the performance of the Fund.
Conclusion
The Board of the Master LLC, including the Independent Board Members, unanimously approved the continuation of the Advisory Agreement between the Manager and the Master LLC, with respect to the Master Portfolio, for a one-year term ending June 30, 2011 and the Sub-Advisory Agreement between the Manager and the Sub-Advisor, with respect to the Master Portfolio, for a one-year term ending June 30, 2011. As part of its approval, the Board of the Master LLC considered the detailed review of BlackRock’s fee structure, as it applies to the Master LLC, being conducted by the ad hoc Joint Product Pricing Committee. Based upon its evaluation of all of the aforementioned factors in their totality, the Board of the Master LLC, including the Independent Board Members, was satisfied that the terms of the Agreements were fair and reasonable and in the best interest of the Master Portfolio and its shareholders. The Board of the Corporation, including the Independent Board Members, also considered the continuation of the Agreements with respect to the Master Portfolio and found the Agreements to be satisfactory. In arriving at a decision to approve the Agreements, the Board of the Master LLC did not identify any single factor or group of factors as all-important or controlling, but considered all factors together, and different Board Members may have attributed different weights to the various factors considered. The Independent Board Members were also assisted by the advice of independent legal counsel in making this determination. The contractual fee arrangements for the Master Portfolio reflect the results of several years of review by the Board Members and predecessor Board Members, and discussions between such Board Members (and predecessor Board Members) and BlackRock. Certain aspects of the arrangements may be the subject of more attention in some years than in others, and the Board Members’ conclusions may be based in part on their consideration of these arrangements in prior years.
