2 | BLACKROCK INTERNATIONAL INDEX FUND | DECEMBER 31, 2010 |
|
|
Economic data fluctuated widely throughout 2010 as the global economy continued to emerge from the “Great Recession.” As the year drew to a close, it became clear that cyclical stimulus had beaten out structural problems as economic data releases generally became more positive and financial markets showed signs of continuing improvement.
Debt and deflationary risks remained present throughout 2010, causing central banks worldwide to respond with unprecedented actions, most notably a second round of quantitative easing (informally known as “QE2”) from the US Federal Reserve Board (the “Fed”). Inflation remained a non-issue in the developed world, but continued to rear its ugly head in some emerging economies, most evidently in China. Global and US gross domestic product (“GDP”) growth both continued in a positive direction but remained subpar compared to most historical economic recoveries. In the United States, the corporate sector has been an important area of strength and consumer spending has shown improvement, although weakness in the housing and labor markets continues to burden the economy.
Stocks moved higher in the early months of 2010 on the continuation of the 2009 asset recovery story. The mid-year months saw a double-digit percentage correction on the back of the Greek sovereign debt crisis and a stalling in jobs growth, leading to fears of a double-dip recession. After touching a late summer low, equity markets rallied through year end as these concerns receded. The announcement of QE2 and extension of the Bush-era tax cuts further boosted equities as the year came to a close. Although the course was uneven and high volatility remained a constant for stocks, equity markets globally ended the year strong. Emerging markets outpaced the developed world in terms of economic growth and posted respectable gains for the year despite sovereign debt problems and heightening inflationary pressures. US stocks recorded double-digit percentage gains for the second consecutive year. Small cap stocks outperformed large caps as investors began to move into higher-risk assets.
In fixed income markets, yields trended lower over most of the year as investors continued to favor safer assets. That trend reversed abruptly in the fourth quarter when market fears abated and investors began seeking higher-risk assets, driving yields sharply upward through year end. However, yields were lower overall for the year and fixed income markets finished 2010 in positive territory. Although fixed income securities generally underperformed equities, high yield bonds only marginally trailed large cap stocks. Conversely, the tax-exempt municipal market was dealt an additional blow as it became apparent that an extension of the Build America Bond program was unlikely. In addition, the fourth quarter brought an increase in negative headlines regarding fiscal challenges faced by state and local governments, sparking additional volatility in the municipal market.
Cash investments, as represented by the 3-month Treasury bill, returned only a fraction over 0% for the year as short-term interest rates remained low. Yields on money market securities remain near all-time lows.

Portfolio Management Commentary |
|
|
| How did the Fund perform? |
|
|
• | For the 12 months ended December 31, 2010, the BlackRock International Index Fund (the “Fund”), through its investment in Master International Index Series (the “Series”) of Quantitative Master Series LLC, underperformed the benchmark Morgan Stanley Capital International Europe, Australasia, Far East (MSCI EAFE) Index. The MSCI EAFE (Cap Weighted) is a free float-adjusted, market capitalization-weighted index designed to measure equity performance of developed markets, excluding the United States and Canada. |
|
|
• | Returns for the Fund’s respective share classes differ from the benchmark based on individual share class expenses. |
|
|
| Describe the market environment. |
|
|
• | Over the course of 2010, cyclical stimulus beat out structural problems and stocks continued the choppy advance they began in 2009. The early months of 2010 saw risk assets move higher on the continuation of the 2009 asset recovery story, aided by preliminary signs of improvement in the employment situation and strong corporate earnings reported for fourth quarter 2009 and first quarter 2010. The middle months of 2010 saw a double-digit percentage correction on the back of the Greek sovereign debt crisis and a stalling in jobs growth, leading to fears of a double-dip recession. Investors were also unnerved by the May “flash crash” and the uncertainty surrounding the financial reform bill in the United States. Nevertheless, after touching a late summer low, equity markets experienced a strong finish to the year as double-dip fears receded, jobs growth resumed and the US midterm elections results were perceived to be capital markets friendly. Additionally, in the United States, Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke delivered his famous Jackson Hole speech, leading to a second round of quantitative easing measures (informally known as “QE2”) and, perhaps most importantly, the Bush-era tax cuts were extended. |
|
|
• | International equities, as represented by the MSCI EAFE Index, gained 7.75% for the year. Among developed markets, Sweden posted the largest annual gain (+33.8%), followed by Denmark (+30.7%), Hong Kong (+23.2%) and Singapore (+22.1%), while Greece experienced the most significant loss (-44.9%), followed by Spain (-22.0%) and Ireland (-18.1%). Emerging markets outpaced the developed world in terms of economic growth and posted respectable gains despite sovereign debt problems in emerging Europe and heightening inflationary pressure in China. The MSCI Emerging Markets Index advanced 18.88% for the year. Standout performers were Thailand (+55.7%), Peru (+53.3%), Chile (+44.2%) and Colombia (+43.4%). On a sector basis, cyclicals outpaced the more defensive sectors as the global economy expanded over the year. Industrials was the leading sector in the MSCI EAFE Index with a gain of 20.4%, followed by consumer discretionary (+19.7%) and materials (+17.7%), while the utilities and financials sectors lost 4.9% and 1.6%, respectively. |
|
|
| Describe recent portfolio activity. |
|
|
• | During the 12-month period, as changes were made to the composition of the MSCI EAFE Index, the Series purchased and sold securities to maintain its objective of replicating the risks and return of the benchmark. |
|
|
| Describe portfolio positioning at period end. |
|
|
• | The Series remains positioned to match the risk characteristics of its benchmark, irrespective of the future direction of international markets. |
|
|
| 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 and foreign currency exchange contracts, as specified in Note 2 of the Series’ 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, equity and/or foreign currency exchange rate 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 investments at inopportune times or for distressed values, may limit the amount of appreciation the Series can realize on an investment, may result in lower dividends paid to shareholders or may cause the Series to hold an investment that it might otherwise sell. The Series’ investments in these instruments are discussed in detail in the Series’ Notes to Financial Statements. |

| 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. The Fund may charge a 2% redemption fee for sales or exchanges of shares within 30 days of purchase or exchange. Performance data does not reflect this potential fee. Figures shown in the performance table on the previous page 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. The Fund’s administrator waived and/or reimbursed a portion of the Fund’s fee. Without such waiver and/or reimbursement, the Fund’s performance would have been lower. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
Shareholders of this Fund may incur the following charges: (a) expenses related to transactions, including redemption fees and exchange fees; and (b) operating expenses including administration fees, service 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 July 1, 2010 and held through December 31, 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. | |

|
|

BlackRock International Index Fund |
1. Organization and Significant Accounting Policies:
BlackRock International 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 International 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 percentage of the Series owned by the Fund at December 31, 2010 was 29.8%. 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 two classes of shares. The Fund’s Institutional and Investor A Shares are generally sold without a front-end or deferred 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 fair values 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. For financial reporting purposes, contributions to and withdrawals from the Series are accounted 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 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, 2010. The statutes of limitations on the Fund’s state and local tax returns may remain open for an additional year depending upon the jurisdiction. Management does not believe there are any 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 0.24% 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 0.34% of the average daily value of the Fund’s net assets. The Fund does not pay an investment advisory fee or an investment management fee.
Effective December 1, 2010, the Administrator contractually agreed to waive and/or reimburse fees or expenses, excluding interest expense, dividend expense, acquired fund fees and expenses and certain other fund expenses in order to limit expenses. The Administrator has agreed not to reduce or discontinue this contractual waiver or reimbursement prior to May 1, 2012 unless approved by the Series’ Board of Directors (the “Board”), including a majority of the non-interested Directors. These amounts are shown as fees waived by administrator and transfer agent fees waived and/or reimbursed — class specific, respectively, in the Statement of Operations. The current expense limitation as a percentage of average daily net assets is 0.35% for Institutional and 0.60% for Investor A. Prior to December 1, 2010, the Administrator had voluntarily agreed to waive
|
|
|
|
| BLACKROCK INTERNATIONAL INDEX FUND | DECEMBER 31, 2010 | 11 |
|
|
|
|
Notes to Financial Statements (continued) | BlackRock International Index Fund |
and/or reimburse annual operating expenses incurred by the Fund which exceeded 0.65% for Institutional Shares and 0.90% for Investor A Shares. For the year ended December 31, 2010, the amounts shown as transfer agent fees waived and/or reimbursed — class specific were as follows:
|
|
|
|
|
Institutional |
| $ | 4,790 |
|
Investor A |
| $ | 7,808 |
|
In addition, the Administrator waived $17,711, which 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 and Service Plan with BlackRock Investments, LLC (“BRIL”), an affiliate of BlackRock. Pursuant to the Distribution and Service Plan and in accordance with Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act, the Fund pays BRIL ongoing service fees. The fees are accrued daily and paid monthly at the annual rate of 0.25% based upon the average daily net assets attributable to Investor A Shares.
Pursuant to sub-agreements with BRIL, broker-dealers and BRIL provide shareholder services to the Fund. The ongoing service fee compensates BRIL and each broker-dealer for providing shareholder services to Investor A shareholders.
BNY Mellon Investment Servicing (US) Inc. (formerly PNC Global Investment Servicing (U.S.) Inc. (“PNCGIS”)), serves as transfer agent and dividend disbursing agent. On July 1, 2010, the Bank of New York Mellon Corporation purchased PNCGIS, which prior to this date was an indirect, wholly owned subsidiary of PNC and an affiliate of the Administrator. 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. Pursuant to written agreements, certain financial intermediaries, some of which may be affiliates, provide the Fund with sub-accounting, recordkeeping, sub-transfer agency and other administrative services with respect to sub-accounts they service. For these services, these entities receive an annual fee per shareholder account, which will vary depending on share class. Prior to July 1, 2010, PNCGIS was an affiliate and earned $6,468 in transfer agent fees for the period from January 1, 2010 to June 30, 2010, which are included as a component of transfer agent — class specific in the Statement of Operations.
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 year ended December 31, 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:
|
|
|
|
|
|
| Call Center Fees |
| |
Institutional |
| $ | 399 |
|
Investor A |
| $ | 2,064 |
|
Certain officers and/or directors of the Corporation are officers and/or directors of BlackRock or its affiliates. The Fund reimburses the Administrator for compensation paid to the Fund’s Chief Compliance Officer.
3. Income Tax Information:
Reclassifications: US GAAP require that certain components of net assets be adjusted to reflect permanent differences between financial and tax reporting. These reclassifications have no effect on net assets or net asset values per share. The following permanent differences as of December 31, 2010 attributable to foreign currency transactions and the sale of stock of passive foreign investment companies were reclassified to the following accounts:
|

Distributions in excess of net investment income |

BlackRock International Index Fund |
To the Shareholders and Board of Directors of BlackRock Index Funds, Inc.:
We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities of BlackRock International Index Fund, one of the series constituting BlackRock Index Funds, Inc., (the “Fund”) as of December 31, 2010, and the related statement of operations for the year then ended, the statements of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended. These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Fund’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and financial highlights based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and financial highlights are free of material misstatement. The Fund is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Fund’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of BlackRock International Index Fund of BlackRock Index Funds, Inc. as of December 31, 2010, the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

• | 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 risks associated with investing in those securities. For information about the Series’ policy regarding valuation of investments and derivatives and other significant accounting policies, please refer to Note 1 of the Series’ Notes to Financial Statements. |

Master International Index Series |
1. Organization and Significant Accounting Policies:
Master International 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 (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 disclosure 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 fair values its financial instruments at market value using independent dealers or pricing services under policies approved by the Board. Equity investments traded on a recognized securities exchange or the NASDAQ Global Market System (“NASDAQ”) are valued at the last reported sale price that day or the NASDAQ official closing price, if applicable. For equity investments traded on more than one exchange, the last reported sale price on the exchange where the stock is primarily traded is used. Equity investments traded on a recognized exchange for which there were no sales on that day are valued at the last available bid 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 registered investment companies are valued at net asset value each business day. Short-term securities with remaining maturities of 60 days or less may be valued at amortized cost, which approximates fair value.
Securities and other assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into US dollars using exchange rates determined as of the close of business on the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”). Foreign currency exchange contracts are valued at the mean between the bid and ask prices and are determined as of the close of business on the NYSE. Interpolated values are derived when the settlement date of the contract is an interim date for which quotations are not available.
In the event that application of these methods of valuation results in a price for an investment which is deemed not to be representative of the market value of such investment or 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.
Generally, trading in foreign instruments is substantially completed each day at various times prior to the close of business on the NYSE. Occasionally, events affecting the values of such instruments may occur between the foreign market close and the close of business on the NYSE that may not be reflected in the computation of the Series’ net assets. If events (for example, a company announcement, market volatility or a natural disaster) occur during such periods that are expected to materially affect the value of such instruments, those instruments may be Fair Value Assets and be valued at their fair values, as determined in good faith by the investment advisor using a pricing service and/or policies approved by the Board. Each business day, the Series uses a pricing service to assist with the valuation of certain foreign exchange-traded equity securities and foreign exchange-traded and over-the-counter (“OTC”) options (the “Systematic Fair Value Price”). Using current market factors, the Systematic Fair Value Price is designed to value such foreign securities and foreign options at fair value as of the close of business on the NYSE, which follows the close of the local markets.
Foreign Currency Transactions: The Series’ books and records are maintained in US dollars. Purchases and sales of investments are recorded at the rates of exchange prevailing on the date the transactions are entered into. Generally, when the US dollar rises in value against a foreign currency, the Series’ investments denominated in that currency will lose value because its currency is worth fewer US dollars; the opposite effect occurs if the US dollar falls in relative value.
The Series reports foreign currency related transactions as components of realized gain (loss) for financial reporting purposes, whereas such components are treated as ordinary income for federal income tax purposes.
Segregation and Collateralization: In cases in which the 1940 Act and the interpretive positions of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) require that the Series either delivers collateral or segregates assets in connection with certain investments (e.g., financial futures contracts and foreign currency exchange 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.

Notes to Financial Statements (continued) | Master International Index Series |
Investment Transactions and Investment Income: For financial reporting purposes, investment transactions are recorded on the dates the transactions are entered into (the trade dates). Realized gains and losses on investment transactions are determined on the identified cost basis. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend dates. Dividends from foreign securities where the ex-dividend date may have passed are subsequently recorded when the Series has determined the ex-dividend date. Under the applicable foreign tax laws, a withholding tax at various rates may be imposed on capital gains, dividends and interest.
Income Taxes: The Series is classified as a partnership for federal income tax purposes. As such, each investor in the Series is treated as the owner of its proportionate share of net assets, income, expenses and realized and unrealized gains and losses of the Series. Therefore, no federal income tax provision is required. It is intended that the Series’ assets will be managed so an investor in the Series can satisfy the requirements of Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended.
The Series files US federal and various state and local tax returns. No income tax returns are currently under examination. The statute of limitations on the Series’ US federal tax returns remains open for each of the four years ended December 31, 2010. The statutes of limitations on the Series’ state and local tax returns may remain open for an additional year depending upon the jurisdiction. Management does not believe there are any uncertain tax positions that require recognition of a tax liability.
Other: Expenses directly related to the Series are charged to the Series. Other operating expenses shared by several funds are pro rated among those funds on the basis of relative net assets or other appropriate methods.
The Series has an arrangement with the custodian whereby fees may be reduced by credits earned on uninvested cash balances, which if applicable are shown as fees paid indirectly in the Statement of Operations. The custodian imposes fees on overdrawn cash balances, which can be offset by accumulated credits earned or may result in additional custody charges.
2. Derivative Financial Instruments:
The Series engages in various portfolio investment strategies using derivative contracts both to increase the returns of the Series and to economically hedge, or protect, its exposure to certain risks such as equity risk and foreign currency exchange rate risk. These contracts may be transacted on an exchange or OTC.
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. The Series’ maximum risk of loss from counterparty credit risk on OTC derivatives is generally the aggregate unrealized gain netted against any collateral pledged by/posted to the counterparty. Counterparty risk related to exchange-traded financial futures contracts is deemed to be minimal due to the protection against defaults provided by the exchange on which these contracts trade.
The Series may mitigate counterparty risk by procuring collateral and through netting provisions included within an International Swaps and Derivatives Association, Inc. (“ISDA”) Master Agreement implemented between the Series and each of its respective counterparties. The ISDA Master Agreement allows the Series to offset with each separate counter-party certain derivative financial instrument’s payables and/or receivables with collateral held. The amount of collateral moved to/from applicable counterparties is generally based upon minimum transfer amounts of up to $500,000. To the extent amounts due to the Series from its counterpar-ties 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.
Certain ISDA Master Agreements allow counterparties to OTC derivatives to terminate derivative contracts prior to maturity in the event the Series’ net assets decline by a stated percentage or the Series fails to meet the terms of its ISDA Master Agreements, which would cause the Series to accelerate payment of any net liability owed to the counterparty.
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 values of equity securities (equity risk) or foreign currencies (foreign currency exchange rate risk). Financial futures contracts are agreements between the Series and coun-terparty to buy or sell a specific quantity of an underlying instrument at a specified price and at a specified date. Depending on the terms of the particular contract, futures contracts are settled either through physical delivery of the underlying instrument on the settlement date or by payment of a cash settlement amount on settlement date. Pursuant to the contract, the Series agrees to receive from or pay to the broker an amount of cash equal to the daily fluctuation in value of the contract. Such receipts or payments are known as margin variation and are recorded by the Series as unrealized 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.

Notes to Financial Statements (continued) | Master International Index Series |
Foreign Currency Exchange Contracts: The Series enters into foreign currency exchange contracts as an economic hedge against either specific transactions or portfolio instruments or to obtain exposure to foreign currencies (foreign currency exchange rate risk). A foreign currency exchange contract is an agreement between two parties to buy and sell a currency at a set exchange rate on a future date. Foreign currency exchange contracts, when used by the Series, help to manage the overall exposure to the currency backing some of the investments held by the Series. The contract is marked-to-market daily and the change in market value is recorded by the Series as an unrealized gain or loss. When the contract is closed, the Series records a realized gain or loss equal to the difference between the value at the time it was opened and the value at the time it was closed. The use of foreign currency exchange contracts involves the risk that the value of a foreign currency contract changes unfavorably due to movements in the value of the referenced foreign currencies and the risk that a counterparty to the contract does not perform it obligations under the agreement.

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 Master LLC’s 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.
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, dividend expense, acquired fund fees and expenses and certain other Series’ expenses will not exceed 0.12% of the average daily value of the Series’ net assets. The Manager has agreed not to reduce or discontinue this contractual waiver or reimbursement prior to May 1, 2012 unless approved by the Board, including a majority of non-interested Directors. For the year ended December 31, 2010, the Series waived $46,646, which is included in fees waived by advisor in the Statement of Operations.
The Manager voluntarily agreed to waive its investment advisory fees by the amount of investment advisory fees the Series pays to the Manager indirectly through its investment in affiliated money market funds, however, the Manager does not waive its advisory fees by the amount of investment advisory fees paid through its investment in other affiliated investment companies, if any. For the year ended December 31, 2010, the Series waived $3,020, which is included in fees waived by advisor in the Statement of Operations.

Notes to Financial Statements (concluded) | Master International Index Series |
The Manager entered into a sub-advisory agreement with BlackRock Investment Management, LLC (“BIM”), an affiliate of the Manager. The Manager pays BIM for services it provides, a monthly fee that is a percentage of the investment advisory fees paid by the Series to the Manager.
For the year ended December 31, 2010, the Series reimbursed the Manager $14,269 for certain accounting services, which are included in accounting services in the Statement of Operations.
Certain officers and/or directors of the Master LLC are officers and/or directors of BlackRock or its affiliates.
4. Investments:
Purchases and sales of investments, excluding short-term securities for the year ended December 31, 2010, were $175,951,778 and $57,569,320, respectively.
5. Borrowings:
The Master LLC, on behalf of the Series, along with certain other funds managed by the Manager and its affiliates, is a party to a $500 million credit agreement with a group of lenders, which expired in November 2010. The Series may borrow under the credit agreement to fund investor withdrawals. Effective November 2009, the credit agreement had the following terms: 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, 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. In addition, the Series paid administration and arrangement fees which were allocated to the Series based on its net assets as of October 31, 2009. Effective November 2010, the credit agreement was renewed until November 2011 with the following terms: a commitment fee of 0.08% per annum based on the Series’ pro rata share of the unused portion of the credit agreement and interest at a rate equal to the higher of (a) the one-month LIBOR plus 1.00% per annum and (b) the Fed Funds rate plus 1.00% per annum on amounts borrowed. In addition, the Series paid administration and arrangement fees which were allocated to the Series based on its net assets as of October 31, 2010. The Series did not borrow under the credit agreement during the year ended December 31, 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 counter-party 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.
The Series invests a substantial amount of its assets in issuers located in a single country or a limited number of countries. When the Series concentrates its investments in this manner, it assumes the risk that economic, political and social conditions in those countries may have a significant impact on their investment performance. Please see the Schedule of Investments for concentrations in specific countries.
As of December 31, 2010, the Series had the following industry classifications:
|

Master International Index Series |
To the Investors and Board of Directors of
Quantitative Master Series LLC:
We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities, including the schedule of investments, of Master International Index Series, one of the portfolios constituting Quantitative Master Series LLC, (the “Master LLC”) as of December 31, 2010, and the related statement of operations for the year then ended, the statements of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended. These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Master LLC’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and financial highlights based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and financial highlights are free of material misstatement. The Master LLC is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Master LLC’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of December 31, 2010, by correspondence with the custodian and brokers; where replies were not received from brokers, we performed other auditing procedures. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Master International Index Series of Quantitative Master Series LLC as of December 31, 2010, the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Economic data fluctuated widely throughout 2010 as the global economy continued to emerge from the “Great Recession.” As the year drew to a close, it became clear that cyclical stimulus had beaten out structural problems as economic data releases generally became more positive and financial markets showed signs of continuing improvement.
Debt and deflationary risks remained present throughout 2010, causing central banks worldwide to respond with unprecedented actions, most notably a second round of quantitative easing (informally known as “QE2”) from the US Federal Reserve Board (the “Fed”). Inflation remained a non-issue in the developed world, but continued to rear its ugly head in some emerging economies, most evidently in China. Global and US gross domestic product (“GDP”) growth both continued in a positive direction but remained subpar compared to most historical economic recoveries. In the United States, the corporate sector has been an important area of strength and consumer spending has shown improvement, although weakness in the housing and labor markets continues to burden the economy.
Stocks moved higher in the early months of 2010 on the continuation of the 2009 asset recovery story. The mid-year months saw a double-digit percentage correction on the back of the Greek sovereign debt crisis and a stalling in jobs growth, leading to fears of a double-dip recession. After touching a late summer low, equity markets rallied through year end as these concerns receded. The announcement of QE2 and extension of the Bush-era tax cuts further boosted equities as the year came to a close. Although the course was uneven and high volatility remained a constant for stocks, equity markets globally ended the year strong. Emerging markets outpaced the developed world in terms of economic growth and posted respectable gains for the year despite sovereign debt problems and heightening inflationary pressures. US stocks recorded double-digit percentage gains for the second consecutive year. Small cap stocks outperformed large caps as investors began to move into higher-risk assets.
In fixed income markets, yields trended lower over most of the year as investors continued to favor safer assets. That trend reversed abruptly in the fourth quarter when market fears abated and investors began seeking higher-risk assets, driving yields sharply upward through year end. However, yields were lower overall for the year and fixed income markets finished 2010 in positive territory. Although fixed income securities generally underperformed equities, high yield bonds only marginally trailed large cap stocks. Conversely, the tax-exempt municipal market was dealt an additional blow as it became apparent that an extension of the Build America Bond program was unlikely. In addition, the fourth quarter brought an increase in negative headlines regarding fiscal challenges faced by state and local governments, sparking additional volatility in the municipal market.
Cash investments, as represented by the 3-month Treasury bill, returned only a fraction over 0% for the year as short-term interest rates remained low. Yields on money market securities remain near all-time lows.

|
Portfolio Management Commentary |
|
|
|
| How did the Fund perform? |
|
|
• | For the 12 months ended December 31, 2010, Institutional and Investor A Shares of BlackRock S&P 500 Index Fund (the “Fund”), a series of BlackRock Index Funds, Inc., returned 14.75% and 14.42%, respectively, while the benchmark Standard & Poor’s (S&P) 500 Index returned 15.06% for the same period. The S&P 500 Index is a market-weighted index composed of 500 common stocks issued by large-capitalization companies in a wide range of businesses. The stocks included in the index collectively represent a substantial portion of all common stocks publicly traded in the United States. |
|
|
• | Returns for the Fund’s respective share classes differ from the benchmark index based on individual share class expenses. The Fund invests all of its assets in Master S&P 500 Index Series (the “Series”), a series of Quantitative Master Series LLC. |
|
|
| Describe the market environment. |
|
|
• | Over the course of 2010, cyclical stimulus beat out structural problems and stocks continued the choppy advance they began in 2009. The early months of 2010 saw risk assets move higher on the continuation of the 2009 asset recovery story, aided by preliminary signs of improvement in the employment situation and strong corporate earnings reported for fourth quarter 2009 and first quarter 2010. The middle months of 2010 saw a double-digit percentage correction on the back of the Greek sovereign debt crisis and a stalling in jobs growth, leading to fears of a double-dip recession. Investors were also unnerved by the May “flash crash” and the uncertainty surrounding the financial reform bill in the United States. Nevertheless, after touching a late summer low, equity markets experienced a strong finish to the year as double-dip fears receded, jobs growth resumed and the US midterm elections results were perceived to be capital markets friendly. Additionally, in the United States, Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke delivered his famous Jackson Hole speech, leading to a second round of quantitative easing measures (informally known as “QE2”) and, perhaps most importantly, the Bush-era tax cuts were extended and supplemented with some fiscal sweeteners. |
|
|
• | In 2010, US stocks posted double-digit percentage gains for the second consecutive year. The Dow Jones Industrial Average gained 14.06%, and in the process, moved past the levels last seen before the collapse of Lehman Brothers in late 2008. The S&P 500 Index advanced 15.06%, while the NASDAQ Composite Index moved up 18.02%. |
|
|
• | Within the benchmark S&P 500 Index, all 10 sectors posted gains for the period. Consumer discretionary posted the strongest returns (+27.66%), followed closely by industrials (+26.73%), materials (+22.20%) and energy (+20.46%), while the weakest returns came from health care (+2.90%) and utilities (+5.46%). |
|
|
| Describe recent portfolio activity. |
|
|
• | During the 12-month period,as changes were made to the composition of the S&P 500 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 index, irrespective of the market’s future direction. |

Derivative Financial Instruments |
The Series may invest in various derivative instruments, including financial futures contracts, as specified in Note 2 of the Series’ Notes to Financial Statements, which 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 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 Series’ 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 table on the previous page 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. The Fund’s administrator waived a portion of its fee. Without such waiver, the Fund’s performance would have been lower.
|
|
Shareholders of this Fund may incur the following charges: (a) expenses related to transactions, including redemption fees and exchange fees; and (b) operating expenses including administration fees, 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 July 1, 2010 and held through December 31, 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.

| 1 | For each class of the Fund, expenses are equal to the expense ratio for the class, multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 184/365 (to reflect the one-half year period shown). 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. |
|

10 | BLACKROCK S&P 500 INDEX FUND | DECEMBER 31, 2010 |
|
|
|
|
BlackRock S&P 500 Index Fund |
1. Organization and Significant Accounting Policies:
BlackRock S&P 500 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 S&P 500 Index Series (the “Series”), a series of Quantitative Master Series 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 percentage of the Series owned by the Fund at December 31, 2010 was 74.5%. 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 two 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. For financial reporting purposes, contributions to and withdrawals from the Series are accounted for on a trade 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, 2010. The statutes of limitations on the Fund’s state and local tax returns may remain open for an additional year depending upon the jurisdiction. Management does not believe there are any 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 Fund’s average daily net assets. The Fund does not pay an investment advisory fee or investment management fee.

|
Notes to Financial Statements (continued) | BlackRock S&P 500 Index Fund |
The Administrator voluntarily agreed to waive and/or reimburse fees or expenses, excluding interest expense, dividend expense, acquired fund fees and expenses and certain other fund expenses, in order to limit expenses. The expense limitation as a percentage of net assets is 0.40% for Institutional Shares and 0.65% for Investor A Shares. The Administrator may reduce or discontinue this waiver and/or reimbursement 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 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 and/or distribution related services to Investor A shareholders.
BNY Mellon Investment Servicing (US) Inc. (formerly PNC Global Investment Servicing (U.S.) Inc. (“PNCGIS”)), serves as transfer agent and dividend disbursing agent. On July 1, 2010, the Bank of New York Mellon Corporation purchased PNCGIS, which prior to this date was an indirect, wholly owned subsidiary of PNC and an affiliate of the Administrator. 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. Pursuant to written agreements, certain financial intermediaries, some of which may be affiliates, provide the Fund with sub-accounting, recordkeeping, sub-transfer agency and other administrative services with respect to the sub-accounts they service. For these services, these entities receive an annual fee per shareholder account which will vary depending on share class. Prior to July 1, 2010, PNCGIS was an affiliate and earned $29,514 in transfer agency fees for the period January 1, 2010 to June 30, 2010, which are included as a component of transfer agent — class specific in the Statement of Operations.
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 year ended December 31, 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:
|
|
|
|
|
Institutional |
| $ | 3,786 |
|
Investor A |
| $ | 8,653 |
|
Certain officers and/or directors of the Corporation are officers and/or directors of BlackRock or its affiliates. The Fund reimburses the Administrator for compensation paid to the Corporation’s Chief Compliance Officer.

BlackRock S&P 500 Index Fund |
To the Shareholders and Board of Directors of BlackRock Index Funds, Inc.:
We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities of BlackRock S&P 500 Index Fund, one of the series constituting BlackRock Index Funds, Inc., (the “Fund”) as of December 31, 2010, and the related statement of operations for the year then ended, the statements of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended. These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Fund’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and financial highlights based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and financial highlights are free of material misstatement. The Fund is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Fund’s internal control over financial reporting.Accord-ingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of BlackRock S&P 500 Index Fund of BlackRock Index Funds, Inc. as of December 31, 2010, the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

• | 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 derivatives and other significant accounting policies, please refer to Note 1 of the Series’ Notes to Financial Statements.
The following tables summarize the inputs used as of December 31, 2010 in determining the fair valuation of the Series’ investments and derivatives:

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 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 Series:
Valuation: The Series fair values its financial instruments at market value using independent dealers or pricing services under policies approved by the Board. Equity investments traded on a recognized securities exchange or the NASDAQ Global Market System (“NASDAQ”) are valued at the last reported sale price that day or the NASDAQ official closing price, if applicable. For equity investments traded on more than one exchange, the last reported sale price on the exchange where the stock is primarily traded is used. Equity investments traded on a recognized exchange for which there were no sales on that day are valued at the last available bid 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 registered investment companies are valued at net asset value each business day. Short-term securities with remaining maturities of 60 days or less may be valued at amortized cost, which approximates fair value.
The Series values its 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.
Investment Transactions and Investment Income: For financial reporting purposes, investment transactions are recorded on the dates the transactions are entered into (the trade dates). Realized gains and losses on investment transactions are determined on the identified cost basis. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend dates. Upon notification from issuers, some of the dividend income received from a real estate investment trust may be redesignated as a reduction of cost of the related investment and/or realized gain. Interest income, including amortization and accretion of premiums and discounts on debt securities, is recognized on the accrual basis.
Securities Lending: The Series may lend securities to 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. During the term of the loan, the Series earns dividends and

interest on the securities loaned. Loans of securities are terminable at any time and the borrower, after notice, is required to return borrowed securities within the standard time period for settlement of securities transactions. In the event that the borrower defaults on its obligation to return borrowed securities because of insolvency or for any other reason, the Series could experience delays and costs in gaining access to the collateral. The Series also could suffer a loss if the value of an investment purchased with cash collateral falls below the market value of loaned securities or if the value of an investment purchased with cash collateral falls below the value of the original cash collateral received.
Income Taxes: The Series is classified as a partnership for federal income tax purposes. As such, each investor in the Series is treated as the owner of its proportionate share of 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, 2010. The statutes of limitations on the Series’ state and local tax returns may remain open for an additional year depending upon the jurisdiction. Management does not believe there are any uncertain tax positions that require recognition of a tax liability.
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 return of the Series and to economically hedge, or protect, its exposure to certain risks such as equity risk. These contracts may be transacted on an exchange.
Losses may arise if the value of the contract decreases due to an unfavorable change in the market rates or values of the underlying instrument or if the counterparty does not perform under the contract. Counterparty risk related to exchange-traded financial futures contracts is deemed to be minimal due to the protection against defaults provided by the exchanges on which these contracts trade.
Financial Futures Contracts: The Series purchases or sells financial futures contracts and options on financial futures contracts to gain exposure to, or economically hedge against, changes in the value of equity securities (equity risk). Financial futures contracts are agreements between the Series and counterparty to buy or sell a specific quantity of an underlying instrument at a specified price and at a specified date. Depending on the terms of the particular contract, futures contracts are settled either through physical delivery of the underlying instrument on the settlement date or by payment of a cash settlement amount on settlement date. Pursuant to the contract, the Series agrees to receive from or pay to the broker an amount of cash equal to the daily fluctuation in value of the contract. Such receipts or payments are known as margin variation and are recorded by the Series as unrealized 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 Management 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 Management 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. The Manager has agreed not to reduce or discontinue this contractual waiver until May 1, 2011 unless approved by the Board, including a majority of the non-interested Directors. 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 BlackRock S&P 500 Index Fund would not exceed 0.25% of average daily net assets. 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 year ended December 31, 2010, the Manager waived $113,292, which is included in fees waived by advisor in the Statement of Operations.
The Manager voluntarily agreed to waive its investment advisory fees by the amount of investment advisory fees the Series pays to the Manager indirectly through its investment in affiliated money market funds, however the Manager does not waive its investment advisory fees by the amount of investment advisory fees paid through the Series’ investment in other affiliated investment companies, if any. For the year ended December 31, 2010, the Series waived $10,021, which is or included in fees waived by advisor in the Statement of Operations.
The Manager entered into a sub-advisory agreement with BlackRock Investment Management, LLC (“BIM”), an affiliate of the Manager.The Manager pays BIM for services it provides, a monthly fee that is a percentage of the investment advisory fees paid by the Series to the Manager.
For the year ended December 31, 2010, the Series reimbursed the Manager $42,260 for certain accounting services, which are included in accounting services in the Statement of Operations.
The Master LLC, on behalf of the Series, received an exemptive order from the SEC permitting it, among other things, to pay an affiliated securities lending agent a fee based on a share of the income derived from the securities lending activities and has retained BIM as the securities lending agent. BIM may, on behalf of the Series, invest cash collateral received by the Series for such loans, among other things, in a private investment company managed by the Manager or in registered money market funds advised by the Manager or its affiliates. The market value of securities on loan and the value of the related collateral, if applicable are shown in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities as securities loaned 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 year ended December 31, 2010, BIM received $50,457 in securities lending agent fees related to securities lending activities for the Series.
Certain officers and/or directors of the Master LLC are officers and/or directors of BlackRock or its affiliates.
4. Investments:
Purchases and sales of investments, excluding short-term securities for the year ended December 31, 2010, were $104,823,718 and $280,419,809, respectively.
5. Borrowings:
The Master LLC, on behalf of the Series, along with certain other funds managed by the Manager and its affiliates, is a party to a $500 million credit agreement with a group of lenders, which expired in November 2010. The Series may borrow under the credit agreement to fund investor withdrawals. Effective November 2009, the credit agreement had the following terms: 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 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. In addition, the Series paid administration and

|

|
| |
Notes to Financial Statements (concluded) | Master S&P 500 Index Series |
arrangement fees which were allocated to the Series based on its net assets as of October 31, 2009. Effective November 2010, the credit agreement was renewed until November 2011 with the following terms: a commitment fee of 0.08% per annum based on the Series’ pro rata share of the unused portion of the credit agreement and interest at a rate equal to the higher of (a) the one-month LIBOR plus 1.00% per annum and (b) the Fed Funds rate plus 1.00% per annum on amounts borrowed. In addition, the Series paid administration and arrangement fees which were allocated to the Series based on its net assets as of October 31, 2010. The Series did not borrow under the credit agreement during the year ended December 31, 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.

Master S&P 500 Index Series |
To the Investors and Board of Directors of Quantitative Master Series LLC:
We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities, including the schedule of investments, of Master S&P 500 Index Series, one of the portfolios constituting Quantitative Master Series LLC, (the “Master LLC”) as of December 31, 2010, and the related statement of operations for the year then ended, the statements of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended. These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Master LLC’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and financial highlights based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and financial highlights are free of material misstatement. The Master LLC is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Master LLC’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of December 31, 2010, by correspondence with the custodian and brokers; where replies were not received from brokers, we performed other auditing procedures. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Master S&P 500 Index Series of Quantitative Master Series LLC as of December 31, 2010, the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Economic data fluctuated widely throughout 2010 as the global economy continued to emerge from the “Great Recession.” As the year drew to a close, it became clear that cyclical stimulus had beaten out structural problems as economic data releases generally became more positive and financial markets showed signs of continuing improvement.
Debt and deflationary risks remained present throughout 2010, causing central banks worldwide to respond with unprecedented actions, most notably a second round of quantitative easing (informally known as “QE2”) from the US Federal Reserve Board (the “Fed”). Inflation remained a non-issue in the developed world, but continued to rear its ugly head in some emerging economies, most evidently in China. Global and US gross domestic product (“GDP”) growth both continued in a positive direction but remained subpar compared to most historical economic recoveries. In the United States, the corporate sector has been an important area of strength and consumer spending has shown improvement, although weakness in the housing and labor markets continues to burden the economy.
Stocks moved higher in the early months of 2010 on the continuation of the 2009 asset recovery story. The mid-year months saw a double-digit percentage correction on the back of the Greek sovereign debt crisis and a stalling in jobs growth, leading to fears of a double-dip recession. After touching a late summer low, equity markets rallied through year end as these concerns receded. The announcement of QE2 and extension of the Bush-era tax cuts further boosted equities as the year came to a close. Although the course was uneven and high volatility remained a constant for stocks, equity markets globally ended the year strong. Emerging markets outpaced the developed world in terms of economic growth and posted respectable gains for the year despite sovereign debt problems and heightening inflationary pressures. US stocks recorded double-digit percentage gains for the second consecutive year. Small cap stocks outperformed large caps as investors began to move into higher-risk assets.
In fixed income markets, yields trended lower over most of the year as investors continued to favor safer assets. That trend reversed abruptly in the fourth quarter when market fears abated and investors began seeking higher-risk assets, driving yields sharply upward through year end. However, yields were lower overall for the year and fixed income markets finished 2010 in positive territory. Although fixed income securities generally underperformed equities, high yield bonds only marginally trailed large cap stocks. Conversely, the tax-exempt municipal market was dealt an additional blow as it became apparent that an extension of the Build America Bond program was unlikely. In addition, the fourth quarter brought an increase in negative headlines regarding fiscal challenges faced by state and local governments, sparking additional volatility in the municipal market.
Cash investments, as represented by the 3-month Treasury bill, returned only a fraction over 0% for the year as short-term interest rates remained low. Yields on money market securities remain near all-time lows.

BlackRock Small Cap Index Fund |
|
Portfolio Management Commentary |
|
|
| How did the Fund perform? |
|
|
• | For the 12 months ended December 31,2010, BlackRock Small Cap Index Fund (the “Fund”), through its investment in Master Small Cap Index Series (the “Series”) of Quantitative Master Series LLC (the “Master LLC”), slightly underperformed the benchmark 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 Fund level and individual share-class expenses. |
|
|
| Describe the market environment. |
|
|
• | Over the course of 2010, cyclical stimulus beat out structural problems and stocks continued the choppy advance they began in 2009. The early months of 2010 saw risk assets move higher on the continuation of the 2009 asset recovery story, aided by preliminary signs of improvement in the employment situation and strong corporate earnings reported for fourth quarter 2009 and first quarter 2010. The middle months of 2010 saw a double-digit percentage correction on the back of the Greek sovereign debt crisis and a stalling in jobs growth, leading to fears of a double-dip recession. Investors were also unnerved by the May “flash crash” and the uncertainty surrounding the financial reform bill in the United States. Nevertheless, after touching a late summer low, equity markets experienced a strong finish to the year as double-dip fears receded, jobs growth resumed and the US midterm election results were perceived to be capital markets friendly. Additionally, in the United States, Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke delivered his famous Jackson Hole speech, leading to a second round of quantitative easing measures (informally known as “QE2”) and, perhaps most importantly, the Bush-era tax cuts were extended. |
|
|
• | In 2010, US stocks posted double-digit percentage gains for the second consecutive year. The Dow Jones Industrial Average gained 14.06%, a level not seen since before the collapse of Lehman Brothers in late 2008. The S&P 500 Index advanced 15.06%, while the NASDAQ Composite Index moved up 18.02%. Small cap stocks experienced even stronger gains for the year as investors began to move into higher risk assets. For the annual period, the Russell 2000 Index climbed 26.85%. |
|
|
• | Within the benchmark, Russell 2000 Index, all sectors posted double-digit positive returns for the period. Information technology (+33.98%), materials (+33.65%), and energy (+33.28%) emerged as the best performing sectors over the period, while telecommunication services (+12.20%), utilities (+15.16%) and health care (+17.10%) experienced less positive returns. |
|
|
| Describe recent portfolio activity. |
|
|
• | During the 12-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 Series’ 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 Series’ 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 administration fees, service 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 July 1, 2010 and held through December 31, 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. | |

| 1 | For each class of the Fund, expenses are equal to the annualized expense ratio for the class, multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 184/365 (to reflect the one-half year period shown). 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. |

10 | BLACKROCK SMALL CAP INDEX FUND | DECEMBER 31, 2010 |
|
|
|
|
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”), a 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 December 31, 2010 was 35%. 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 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.
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, contributions to and withdrawals from the Series are accounted for on a trade 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 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, 2010. The statutes of limitations on the Fund’s state and local tax returns may remain open for an additional year depending upon the jurisdiction. Management does not believe there are any 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. 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. 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 investment advisory fee or an 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 dividend expense, interest expense, acquired fund fees and expenses and certain other Fund expenses) as a percentage of average daily net assets to 0.60% for Institutional Shares and 0.85% for Investor A Shares through November 30, 2010. Effective December 1, 2010 this voluntary fee arrangement was discontinued and the Administrator contractually agreed to waive and/or reimburse fees or expenses to limit annual Fund operating expenses (excluding dividend expense, interest expense, acquired fund fees and expenses and certain other Fund expenses) as a percentage of average daily net assets to 0.30% for Institutional Shares and 0.55% for Investor A Shares, until May 1, 2012.The Administrator has agreed not to reduce or discontinue this contractual waiver or reimbursement unless
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
Notes to Financial Statements (continued) | BlackRock Small Cap Index Fund |
approved by the Board of Directors, including a majority of the non-interested directors. As a result of these agreements, the Administrator waived and/or reimbursed the following amounts, which are shown as transfer agent fees waived and/or reimbursed — class specific in the Statement of Operations:
|
|
|
|
|
Institutional |
| $ | 4,830 |
|
Investor A |
| $ | 4,887 |
|
In addition, the Administrator waived $25,223, which 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 and Service Plan with BlackRock Investments, LLC (“BRIL”), an affiliate of BlackRock. Pursuant to the Distribution and Service Plan and in accordance with Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act, the Fund pays BRIL ongoing service fees. The fees are accrued daily and paid monthly at the annual rate of 0.25% based upon the average daily net assets attributable to Investor A Shares.
Pursuant to sub-agreements with BRIL, broker-dealers and BRIL provide shareholder servicing to the Fund. The ongoing service fee compensates BRIL and each broker-dealer for providing shareholder servicing to Investor A shareholders.
BNY Mellon Investment Servicing (US) Inc. (formerly PNC Global Investment Servicing (U.S.) Inc. (“PNCGIS”)) serves as transfer agent and dividend disbursing agent. On July 1, 2010, the Bank of New York Mellon Corporation purchased PNCGIS, which prior to this date was an indirect, wholly owned subsidiary of PNC and an affiliate of the Administrator. 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.
Pursuant to written agreements, certain financial intermediaries, some of which may be affiliates, provide the Fund with sub-accounting, record-keeping, sub-transfer agency and other administrative services with respect to sub-accounts they service. For these services, these entities receive an annual fee which will vary depending on share class and/or net assets. Prior to July 1, 2010, PNCGIS was an affiliate and transfer agency fees earned for the period from January 1, 2010 to June 30, 2010, which are included as a component of transfer agent in the Statement of Operations, were as follows:
|
|
|
|
|
Institutional |
| $ | 900 |
|
Investor A |
| $ | 2,454 |
|
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 year ended December 31, 2010, the Fund reimbursed the Administrator the following amounts for costs incurred in running the call center, which are included in transfer agent in the Statement of Operations:
|
|
|
|
|
Institutional |
| $ | 284 |
|
Investor A |
| $ | 783 |
|
Certain officers and/or directors of the Corporation are officers and/or directors of BlackRock or its affiliates. The Fund reimburses the Administrator for compensation paid to the Corporation’s Chief Compliance Officer.
3. Income Tax Information:
Reclassifications: US GAAP require that certain components of net assets be adjusted to reflect permanent differences between financial and tax reporting. These reclassifications have no effect on net assets or net asset values per share. The following permanent differences as of December 31, 2010 attributable to the sale of stock of passive foreign investment companies were reclassified to the following accounts:
|

|

| * | The differences between book-basis and tax-basis net unrealized gains were attributable primarily to the tax deferral of losses on wash sales, the realization for tax purposes of unrealized gains on investments in passive foreign investment companies, the treatment of certain security lending transactions, the realization for tax purposes of unrealized gains /losses on certain futures contracts and other temporary differences. |
As of December 31, 2010, the Fund had a capital loss carryforward in the amount of $23,091,658 available to offset future realized gains, which expires December 31, 2017.

BlackRock Small Cap Index Fund |
To the Shareholders and Board of Directors of BlackRock Index Funds, Inc.:
We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities of BlackRock Small Cap Index Fund, one of the series constituting BlackRock Index Funds, Inc., (the “Fund”) as of December 31, 2010, and the related statement of operations for the year then ended, the statements of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended. These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Fund’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and financial highlights based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and financial highlights are free of material misstatement. The Fund is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Fund’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of BlackRock Small Cap Index Fund of BlackRock Index Funds, Inc. as of December 31, 2010, the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

• | 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 derivatives and other significant accounting policies, please refer to Note 1 of the Series’ Notes to Financial Statements. |

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 Series:
Valuation: The Series’ policy is to fair value its financial instruments at market value using independent dealers or pricing services under policies approved by the Board. Equity investments traded on a recognized securities exchange or the NASDAQ Global Market System (“NASDAQ”) are valued at the last reported sale price that day or the NASDAQ official closing price, if applicable. For equity investments traded on more than one exchange, the last reported sale price on the exchange where the stock is primarily traded is used. Equity investments traded on a recognized exchange for which there were no sales on that day are valued at the last available bid 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 registered investment companies are valued at net asset value each business day. Short-term securities with remaining maturities of 60 days or less may be valued at amortized cost, which approximates fair value.
The Series values its 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 (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 and accretion of premiums and discounts 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. During the term of the loan, the Series earns dividend and interest on the securities loaned. 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 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. The statute of limitations on the Series’ US federal tax returns remains open for each of the four years ended December 31, 2010. The statutes of limitations on the Series’ state and local tax returns may remain open for an additional year depending upon the jurisdiction. Management does not believe there are any uncertain tax positions that require recognition of a tax liability.
Other: Expenses directly related to the Series are charged to the Series. Other operating expenses shared by several funds are pro rated among those funds on the basis of relative net assets or other appropriate methods. The Series has an arrangement with the custodian whereby fees may be reduced by credits earned on uninvested cash balances, which if applicable are shown as fees paid indirectly in the Statement of Operations. The custodian imposes fees on overdrawn cash balances, which can be offset by accumulated credits earned or may result in additional custody charges.
2. Derivative Financial Instruments:
The Series engages in various portfolio investment strategies using derivative contracts both to increase the return 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 and options is deemed to be minimal due to the protection against defaults provided by the exchange on which these contracts trade.
Financial Futures Contracts: The Series purchases or sells financial futures contracts and options on financial futures contracts to gain exposure to, or economically hedge against, changes in the value of equity securities (equity risk). Financial futures contracts are agreements between the Series and counterparty to buy or sell a specific quantity of an underlying instrument at a specified price and at a specified date. Depending on the terms of the particular contract, futures contracts are settled either through physical delivery of the underlying instrument on the settlement date or by payment of a cash settlement amount on settlement date. Pursuant to the contract, the Series agrees to receive from or pay to the broker an amount of cash equal to the daily fluctuation in value of the contract. Such receipts or payments are known as margin variation and are recorded by the Series as unrealized 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 Master LLC. For such services, the Series pays the Manager a monthly fee at an annual rate of 0.01% of the Series’ average daily net assets.
The Manager contractually agreed to waive and/or reimburse fees and/or expenses to ensure that the management fee of the Series, when combined with the administration fee of BlackRock Small Cap Index Fund of BlackRock Index Funds, Inc., would not exceed 0.30%. This agreement was terminated on December 1, 2010. For the year ended December 31, 2010 no fees were waived and/or reimbursed 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 dividend expense, 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. The Manager has agreed not to reduce or discontinue this contractual waiver or reimbursement before May 1, 2012 unless approved by the Board, including a majority of the non-interested directors. For the year ended December 31, 2010, the Series waived and/or reimbursed $106,243, which is included in fees waived and/or reimbursed by advisor in the Statement of Operations.
The Manager voluntarily agreed to waive its investment advisory fees by the amount of investment advisory fees the Series pays to the Manager indirectly through its investment in affiliated money market funds, however the Manager does not waive its investment advisory fees by the amount of investment advisory fees paid through the Series’ investment in other affiliated investment companies, if any. For the year ended December 31, 2010, the Manager waived advisory fees in the amount of $5,721, which is included in fees waived and/or reimbursed by advisor in the Statement of Operations.
The Manager entered into a sub-advisory agreement with BlackRock Investment Management, LLC (“BIM”), an affiliate of the Manager. The Manager pays BIM for services it provides, a monthly fee that is a percentage of the investment advisory fees paid by the Series to the Manager.
For the year ended December 31, 2010, the Series reimbursed the Manager $5,038 for certain accounting services, which are included in accounting services in the Statement of Operations.
The Master LLC, on behalf of the Series, received an exemptive order from the SEC permitting it, among other things, to pay an affiliated securities lending agent a fee based on a share of the income derived from the securities lending activities and has retained BIM as the securities lending agent. BIM may, on behalf of the Series, invest cash collateral received by the Series for such loans, among other things, in a private investment company managed by the Manager or in registered money market funds advised by the Manager or its affiliates. The market value of securities on loan and the value of the related collateral, if applicable are shown in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities as securities loaned 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 year ended December 31, 2010, BIM received $36,692 in securities lending agent fees related to securities lending activities for the Series.
Certain officers and/or directors of the Master LLC are officers and/or directors of BlackRock or its affiliates.
4. Investments:
Purchases and sales of investments, excluding short-term securities, for the year ended December 31, 2010, were $169,021,756 and $113,962,091, respectively.
5. Borrowings:
The Master LLC, on behalf of the Series, along with certain other funds managed by the Manager and its affiliates, is a party to a $500 million credit agreement with a group of lenders, which expired in November 2010. The Series may borrow under the credit agreement to fund investor withdrawals. Effective November 2009, the credit agreement had the following terms: 0.02% upfront fee on the aggregate commitment amount which was allocated to the Master LLC 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 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. In addition, the Series paid administration and arrangement fees which were allocated to the Series based on its net assets as of October 31, 2009. Effective November 2010, the credit agreement was renewed until November 2011 with the following terms: a commitment fee of 0.08% per annum based on the Series’ pro rata share of the unused portion of the credit agreement and interest at a rate equal to the higher of (a) the one-month LIBOR plus 1.00% per annum and (b) the Fed Funds rate plus 1.00% per annum on amounts borrowed. In addition, the Series paid administration and arrangement fees which were allocated to the Series based on its net assets as of October 31, 2010. The Series did not borrow under the credit agreement during the year ended December 31, 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
|
|
|
44 | BLACKROCK SMALL CAP INDEX FUND | DECEMBER 31, 2010 |
|
|
|
|
Notes to Financial Statements (concluded) | Master Small Cap Index Series |
in response to certain events, including those directly involving the issuers whose securities are owned by the Series; conditions affecting the general economy; overall market changes; local, regional or global political, social or economic instability; and currency and interest rate and price fluctuations. Similar to issuer credit risk, the Series may be exposed to counterparty credit risk, or the risk that an entity with which the Series has unsettled or open transactions may fail to or be unable to perform on its commitments. The Series manages counterparty credit risk by entering into transactions only with counterparties that it believes have the financial resources to honor their obligations and by monitoring the financial stability of those counterparties. Financial assets, which potentially expose the Series to market, issuer and counterparty credit risks, consist principally of financial instruments and receivables due from counterparties. The extent of the Series’ exposure to market, issuer and counterparty credit risks with respect to these financial assets is generally approximated by their value recorded in the Series’ Statement of Assets and Liabilities, less any collateral held by the Series.
As of December 31, 2010, the Series invested a significant portion of its assets in securities in the financial services sector. Changes in economic conditions affecting the financial services sector would have a greater impact on the Series and could affect the value, income and/or liquidity of positions in such securities.
7. Subsequent Events:
Management has evaluated the impact of all subsequent events on the Series through the date the financial statements were issued and has determined that there were no subsequent events requiring adjustment or additional disclosure in the financial statements.

Master Small Cap Index Series |
To the Investors and Board of Directors of Quantitative Master Series LLC:
We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities, including the schedule of investments, of Master Small Cap Index Series, one of the portfolios constituting Quantitative Master Series LLC, (the “Master LLC”) as of December 31, 2010, and the related statement of operations for the year then ended, the statements of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended. These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Master LLC’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and financial highlights based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and financial highlights are free of material misstatement. The Master LLC is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Master LLC’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of December 31, 2010, by correspondence with the custodian and brokers; where replies were not received from brokers, we performed other auditing procedures. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Master Small Cap Index Series of Quantitative Master Series LLC as of December 31, 2010, the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

| (e)(1) Audit Committee Pre-Approval Policies and Procedures: |
|
|
| The registrant’s audit committee (the “Committee”) has adopted policies and procedures with regard to the pre-approval of services. Audit, audit-related and tax compliance services provided to the registrant on an annual basis require specific pre-approval by the Committee. The Committee also must approve other non-audit services provided to the registrant and those non-audit services provided to the registrant’s affiliated service providers that relate directly to the operations and the financial reporting of the registrant. Certain of these non-audit services that the Committee believes are a) consistent with the SEC’s auditor independence rules and b) routine and recurring services that will not impair the independence of the independent accountants may be approved by the Committee without consideration on a specific case-by-case basis (“general pre-approval”). The term of any general pre-approval is 12 months from the date of the pre-approval, unless the Committee provides for a different period. Tax or other non-audit services provided to the registrant which have a direct impact on the operation or financial reporting of the registrant will only be deemed pre-approved provided that any individual project does not exceed $10,000 attributable to the registrant or $50,000 per project. For this purpose, multiple projects will be aggregated to determine if they exceed the previously mentioned cost levels. |
|
|
| Any proposed services exceeding the pre-approved cost levels will require specific pre-approval by the Committee, as will any other services not subject to general pre-approval (e.g., unanticipated but permissible services). The Committee is informed of each service approved subject to general pre-approval at the next regularly scheduled in-person board meeting. At this meeting, an analysis of such services is presented to the Committee for ratification. The Committee may delegate to the Committee Chairman the authority to approve the provision of and fees for any specific engagement of permitted non-audit services, including services exceeding pre-approved cost levels. |
|
|
| (e)(2) None of the services described in each of Items 4(b) through (d) were approved by the audit committee pursuant to paragraph (c)(7)(i)(C) of Rule 2-01 of Regulation S-X. |
|
|
| (f) Not Applicable |

| (h) The registrant’s audit committee has considered and determined that the provision of non-audit services that were rendered to the registrant’s investment adviser (not including any non-affiliated sub-adviser whose role is primarily portfolio management and is subcontracted with or overseen by the registrant’s investment adviser), and any entity controlling, controlled by, or under common control with the investment adviser that provides ongoing services to the registrant that were not pre-approved pursuant to paragraph (c)(7)(ii) of Rule 2-01 of Regulation S-X is compatible with maintaining the principal accountant’s independence. |
