2 | | BLACKROCK INDEX FUNDS, INC. | | JUNE 30, 2015 | | |
Dear Shareholder,
During the 12-month period ended June 30, 2015, market volatility increased from the remarkably low levels seen in recent years, although it remained below the historical average. In the middle of 2014, geopolitical tensions intensified in Ukraine and the Middle East and oil prices became highly volatile, stoking worries about economic growth outside the United States. The U.S. economy, however, was showing improvement, which made investors concerned that the U.S. Federal Reserve (the “Fed”) would raise short-term rates sooner than previously anticipated. The U.S. dollar appreciated and global credit markets tightened, ultimately putting a strain on investor flows.
In the fourth quarter, U.S. growth picked up considerably while the broader global economy showed more signs of slowing. This, combined with rising global risks, drove investors to the relative stability of U.S. assets. International markets continued to struggle even as the European Central Bank (“ECB”) and the Bank of Japan eased monetary policy. Oil prices plummeted due to a global supply-and-demand imbalance, sparking a selloff in energy-related assets and putting stress on emerging markets. Fixed income investors piled into U.S. Treasuries despite their persistently low yields, which had become attractive as compared to the even lower yields on international sovereign debt.
Equity markets reversed in early 2015, with international markets outperforming the United States as global risks abated. Investors had held high expectations for the U.S. economy, but a harsh winter and west coast port strike brought disappointing first-quarter data and high valuations took their toll on U.S. stocks, while bond yields fell to extreme lows. (Bond prices rise as yields fall.) In contrast, economic reports in Europe and Asia easily beat investors’ very low expectations, and accommodative policies from central banks in those regions helped international equities rebound. Oil prices stabilized, providing some relief for emerging market stocks, although a stronger U.S. dollar continued to be a headwind for the asset class.
U.S. economic data regained momentum in the second quarter, helping U.S. stocks resume an upward path. However, meaningful strength in the labor market underscored the likelihood that the Fed would raise short-term rates before the end of 2015 and bond yields moved swiftly higher. The period ended on a downbeat, but temporary, note as Greece’s long-brewing debt troubles came to an impasse. As the drama unfolded around the tumultuous negotiations between Greece and its creditors, investors feared the possibility of Greece leaving the euro zone and the impact such an event might have on global markets. Most asset classes broadly sold off, especially in Europe, even while macroeconomic and company fundamentals continued to improve.
At BlackRock, we believe investors need to think globally, extend their scope across a broad array of asset classes and be prepared to move freely as market conditions change over time. We encourage you to talk with your financial advisor and visit blackrock.com for further insight about investing in today’s markets.
Sincerely,

Fund Summary as of June 30, 2015 | | BlackRock International Index Fund |
BlackRock International Index Fund’s (the “Fund”) investment objective is to match the performance of the MSCI EAFE Index (Europe, Australasia, Far East) (the “MSCI EAFE Index”) in U.S. dollars with net dividends as closely as possible before the deduction of Fund expenses.
| | |
Portfolio Management Commentary | | |
How did the Fund perform?
• | | For the six months ended June 30, 2015, the Fund’s Institutional Shares returned 6.27%, Investor A Shares returned 6.15% and Class K Shares returned 6.27%. The benchmark MSCI EAFE Index returned 5.52% for the same period. |
• | | Returns for the Fund’s respective share classes differ from the benchmark index due to individual share-class expenses. The Fund invests all of its assets in Master International Index Series (the “Series”), a series of Quantitative Master Series LLC. |
Describe the market environment.
• | | Japanese stocks experienced a powerful rally during the period, driven largely by increased domestic demand. Japan’s finance leaders effectively encouraged retail investors to take more risk with the introduction of new tax-efficient investment vehicles. In the institutional arena, the Government Pension Investment Fund has been shifting away from Japanese government bonds toward equities and foreign bonds. A weak yen and optimism around the reform of corporate governance policies has also helped stock prices move higher. |
• | | In Europe, the economic landscape and company fundamentals broadly continued to improve with the support of the European Central Bank’s large asset purchase program. A strong rally in European equity markets in the earlier part of the period was interrupted as the severity of Greece’s debt troubles dominated headlines. European assets came under pressure as the Greek government’s negotiations with the Troika (i.e., the European Commission, European Central Bank and International Monetary Fund) became increasingly erratic leading up to the June 30 expiration of the most recent bailout package. Market volatility spiked when failure to strike a deal resulted in the Greek government putting the Troika’s proposal to a public vote. For the six-month period as a whole, European equities broadly produced positive results, with the strongest performance coming from markets in Denmark, Ireland, Italy and Portugal. |
Describe recent portfolio activity.
• | | During the period, as changes were made to the composition of the MSCI EAFE Index, the Series purchased and sold securities to maintain its objective of replicating the risks and return of the benchmark index. |
Describe portfolio positioning at period end.
• | | The Series remains positioned to match the risk characteristics of its benchmark index, irrespective of the future direction of international markets. |

Fund Summary as of June 30, 2015 | | BlackRock Small Cap Index Fund |
BlackRock Small Cap Index Fund’s (the “Fund”) investment objective is to match the performance of the Russell 2000® Index as closely as possible before the deduction of Fund expenses.
| | |
Portfolio Management Commentary | | |
How did the Fund perform?
• | | For the six months ended June 30, 2015, the Fund’s Institutional Shares returned 4.88%, Investor A Shares returned 4.76% and Class K Shares returned 4.93%. The benchmark Russell 2000® Index returned 4.75% for the same period. |
• | | Returns for the Fund’s respective share classes differ from the benchmark index due to individual share-class expenses. The Fund invests all of its assets in Master Small Cap Index Series (the “Series”), a series of Quantitative Master Series LLC. |
Describe the market environment.
• | | The year started with U.S. stock prices falling as lower oil prices punished the energy sector and the negative impact of a stronger dollar began to show in the earnings of large global exporting companies. High valuations in U.S. stocks drove equity investors toward more appealing opportunities overseas. U.S. stocks rebounded in February due to increased merger and acquisition activity and strong earnings reports from cyclical technology companies. However, stock prices came under pressure again in March as an improving labor market furthered the appreciation of the U.S. dollar and raised investors’ focus on the timing of an expected Federal Reserve move toward tightening policy. U.S. equities came back into favor in April, after a powerful rally in European equities left valuations in the United States looking more appealing by comparison. U.S. stocks continued to outperform international markets in the following months as increasing turmoil around Greece’s debt troubles drove investors to the relative stability of U.S. markets. |
• | | A clear sign of strength has yet to emerge from the blurry U.S. economic picture, as uptrends in the housing and labor markets stand in contrast with consumer caution and productivity languor. This economic unevenness together with still stagnant inflation has kept the Federal Reserve tentative on when to start raising short-term interest rates. However, hiring strength and a modest but concrete pickup in wage growth point to a possible acceleration in the second half of 2015. More investors are now penciling in an autumn rate hike — a significant event that could push market volatility beyond the unusually low levels of the past few years, but the investment advisor expects most of the ups and downs will be short-lived for stocks. |
Describe recent portfolio activity.
• | | During the 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 index. |
Describe portfolio positioning at period end.

• | | Institutional and Class K Shares are not subject to any sales charge. These shares bear no ongoing distribution or service fees and are available only to certain eligible investors. Prior to March 31, 2011, Class K Shares’ performance results are those of Institutional Shares restated to reflect Class K Shares’ fees. |

Performance information reflects past performance and does not guarantee future results. Current performance may be lower or higher than the performance data quoted. Refer to www.blackrock.com/funds to obtain performance data current to the most recent month end. Performance results do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on fund distributions or the redemption of fund shares. Figures shown in the performance tables on the previous pages assume reinvestment of all distributions, if any, at net asset value (“NAV”) on the ex-dividend date. Investment return and principal value of shares will fluctuate so that shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Distributions paid to each class of shares will vary because of the different levels of service, distribution and transfer agency fees applicable to each class, which are deducted from the income available to be paid to shareholders.
BlackRock Advisors, LLC (the “Administrator”), the Funds’ administrator, has contractually agreed to waive and/or reimburse a portion of the Funds’ expenses. Without such waiver and/or reimbursement, the Funds’ performance would have been lower. The Administrator is under no obligation to continue waiving and/or reimbursing its fees after the applicable termination date of such agreement. See Note 3 of the Notes to Financial Statements for additional information on waivers and/or reimbursements.
Shareholders of these Funds may incur the following charges: (a) transactional expenses, such as sales charges; and (b) operating expenses, including administration fees, service fees, including 12b-1 fees, acquired Fund fees and expenses and other Fund expenses. The expense examples on the previous pages (which are based on a hypothetical investment of $1,000 invested on January 1, 2015 and held through June 30, 2015) are intended to assist shareholders both in calculating expenses based on an investment in each Fund and in comparing these expenses with similar costs of investing in other mutual funds.
The expense examples provide information about actual account values and actual expenses. In order to estimate the expenses a shareholder paid during the period covered by this report, shareholders can divide their account value by $1,000 and then multiply the result by the number corresponding to their Fund and share class under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During the Period.”
The expense examples also provide information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on a Fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses. In order to assist shareholders in comparing the ongoing expenses of investing in these Funds and other funds, compare the 5% hypothetical examples with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in other funds’ shareholder reports.
The expenses shown in the expense examples are intended to highlight shareholders’ ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional expenses, such as sales charges, if any. Therefore, the hypothetical examples are useful in comparing ongoing expenses only, and will not help shareholders determine the relative total expenses of owning different funds. If these transactional expenses were included, shareholder expenses would have been higher.
|
Derivative Financial Instruments |
The Series may invest in various derivative financial instruments. Derivative financial instruments are used to obtain exposure to a security, index and/or market without owning or taking physical custody of securities or to manage market, equity, credit, interest rate, foreign currency exchange rate, commodity and/or other risks. Derivative financial instruments may give rise to a form of economic leverage. Derivative financial instruments also involve risks, including the imperfect correlation between the value of a derivative financial instrument and the underlying asset, possible default of the counterparty to the transaction or illiquidity of the derivative financial instrument. The Series’ ability to use a derivative financial instrument successfully depends on the investment advisor’s ability to predict pertinent market movements accurately, which cannot be assured. The use of derivative financial instruments may result in losses greater than if they had not been used, may limit the amount of appreciation a Series can realize on an investment and/or may result in lower distributions paid to shareholders. The Series’ investments in these instruments are discussed in detail in the Notes to Financial Statements.

| | | | |
Notes to Financial Statements (Unaudited) | | BlackRock Index Funds, Inc. |
1. Organization:
BlackRock International Index Fund and BlackRock Small Cap Index Fund are each a series of BlackRock Index Funds, Inc. (the “Corporation”), which is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), as an open end management investment company. The Corporation is organized as a Maryland corporation. The following are referred to herein collectively as the “Funds” or individually, a “Fund”:
| | | | |
Fund Name | | Herein Referred To As | | Diversification Classification |
BlackRock International Index Fund | | International Index | | Diversified |
BlackRock Small Cap Index Fund | | Small Cap Index | | Diversified |
The Funds seek to achieve their investment objectives by investing all of their assets in Master International Index Series (“Master International Index”) and Master Small Cap Index Series (“Master Small Cap Index”), respectively (collectively, the “Series” or individually, a “Series”), of Quantitative Master Series LLC (the “Master LLC”), an affiliate of the Funds, each of which has the same investment objective and strategies as the corresponding Fund. The value of each Fund’s investment in the respective Series reflects each Fund’s proportionate interest in the net assets of the respective Series. The performance of each Fund is directly affected by the performance of the respective Series. At June 30, 2015, the percentages of Master International Index and Master Small Cap Index owned by International Index and Small Cap Index were 83.68%% and 20.25%, respectively. The financial statements of the Series, including the Schedules of Investments, are included elsewhere in this report and should be read in conjunction with the Funds’ financial statements.
The Funds offer multiple classes of shares. Institutional and Class K Shares are sold without a sales charge and only to certain eligible investors. Investor A Shares are generally sold without a front-end sales charge, and may be subject to a CDSC for certain redemptions where no initial sales charge was paid at the time of purchase. All classes of shares have identical voting, dividend, liquidation and other rights and are subject to the same terms and conditions except that Investor A Shares bear certain expenses related to the shareholder servicing of such shares. Each class has exclusive voting rights with respect to matters relating to its shareholder servicing and distribution expenditures.
2. Significant Accounting Policies:
The Funds’ financial statements are prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”), which may require management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities in the financial statements and the reported amounts of increases and decreases in net assets from operations during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Each Fund is considered an investment company under U.S. GAAP and follows the accounting and reporting guidance applicable to investment companies. The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by the Funds:
Valuation: The Funds’ investments are valued at fair value as of the close of trading on the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) (generally 4:00 p.m., Eastern time). U.S. GAAP defines fair value as the price the Funds would receive to sell an asset or pay to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The Funds determine the fair values of their financial instruments at market value using independent dealers or pricing services under policies approved by the Board of Directors of each Fund (the “Board”). The BlackRock Global Valuation Methodologies Committee (the “Global Valuation Committee”) is the committee formed by management to develop global pricing policies and procedures and to provide oversight of the pricing function for the Funds for all financial instruments.
Each Fund’s policy is to fair value its financial instruments at market value. The Funds record their investment in the Series at fair value based on each Fund’s proportionate interest in the net assets of the respective Series. Valuation of securities held by the Series is discussed in Note 2 of the Series’s Notes to Financial Statements, which are included elsewhere in this report.
Investment Transactions and Investment Income: For financial reporting purposes, contributions to and withdrawals from the Series are accounted on a trade date basis. The Funds record daily their proportionate share of the Series income, expenses and realized and unrealized gains and losses. In addition, the Funds accrue their own expenses. Income, expenses and realized and unrealized gains and losses are allocated daily to each class based on its relative net assets.
Distributions: Distributions paid by the Funds are recorded on the ex-dividend date. The character and timing of distributions are determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations, which may differ from U.S. GAAP.
Other: Expenses directly related to a Fund are charged to that Fund. Other operating expenses shared by several funds are prorated among those funds on the basis of relative net assets or other appropriate methods. Expenses directly related to the Funds and other shared expenses prorated to the Funds are allocated daily to each class based on its relative net assets or other appropriate methods.
3. Administration Agreement and Other Transactions with Affiliates:
The PNC Financial Services Group, Inc. is the largest stockholder and an affiliate of BlackRock Inc. (“BlackRock”) for 1940 Act purposes.

| | BLACKROCK INDEX FUNDS, INC. | | JUNE 30, 2015 | | 19 |

Notes to Financial Statements (continued) | | BlackRock Index Funds, Inc. |
The Corporation, on behalf of the Funds, entered into an Administration Agreement with BlackRock Advisors, LLC (the “Administrator”), an indirect, wholly owned subsidiary of BlackRock, to provide administrative services (other than investment advice and related portfolio activities). For such services, International Index and Small Cap Index pay the Administrator a monthly fee at an annual rate of 0.01% and 0.04%, respectively, of the average daily value of the Funds’ net assets. The Funds do not pay an investment advisory fee or investment management fee. Prior to April 30, 2015, the Funds paid the Administrator a monthly fee at an annual rate of 0.03% and 0.08%, respectively, of the average daily value of the Funds’ net assets.
The Administrator contractually agreed to waive and/or reimburse fees or expenses. In order to limit expenses, excluding interest expense, dividend expense, acquired fund fees and expenses and certain other fund expenses, which constitute extraordinary expenses not incurred in the ordinary course of each Fund’s business. The expense limitations as a percentage of average daily net assets are as follows:
| | | | | | | | |
| | International Index | | | Small Cap Index | |
Institutional | | | 0.12% | | | | 0.17% | |
Investor A | | | 0.37% | | | | 0.42% | |
Class K | | | 0.07% | | | | 0.12% | |
Prior to April 30, 2015, the expense limitations as a percentage of average daily net assets were as follows:
| | | | | | | | |
| | International Index | | | Small Cap Index | |
Institutional | | | 0.14% | | | | 0.21% | |
Investor A | | | 0.39% | | | | 0.46% | |
Class K | | | 0.09% | | | | 0.16% | |
The Administrator has agreed not to reduce or discontinue this contractual waiver or reimbursement prior to May 1, 2016 unless approved by the Corporation’s Board, including a majority of the Independent Directors. These amounts are shown as administration fees waived and transfer agent fees waived and/or reimbursed — class specific, respectively, in the Statements of Operations.
For the six months ended June 30, 2015, the amounts shown as transfer agent fees waived and/or reimbursed — class specific were as follows:
| | | | | | | | |
| | International Index | | | Small Cap Index | |
Institutional | | | — | | | $ | 44 | |
Investor A | | $ | 83,286 | | | $ | 4,570 | |
Class K | | $ | 327 | | | $ | 239 | |
The Corporation, on behalf of the Funds, entered into a Distribution Agreement and a Distribution and Service Plan with BlackRock Investments, LLC (“BRIL”), an affiliate of BlackRock. Pursuant to the Distribution and Service Plan and in accordance with Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act, each Fund pays BRIL ongoing service and distribution fees with respect to Investor A Shares. The fees are accrued daily and paid monthly at the annual rate of 0.25% based upon the average daily net assets.
Pursuant to sub-agreements with BRIL, broker-dealers and BRIL provide shareholder servicing to the Funds. The ongoing service fee compensates BRIL and each broker-dealer for providing shareholder servicing related services to Investor A shareholders.
Pursuant to written agreements, certain financial intermediaries, some of which may be affiliates, provide the Funds with sub-accounting, recordkeeping, sub-transfer agency and other administrative services with respect to sub-accounts they service. For these services, these entities receive an asset-based fee or an annual fee per shareholder account, which will vary depending on share class and/or net assets. For the six months ended June 30, 2015, the Funds paid the following amounts to affiliates of BlackRock in return for these services, which are included in transfer agent — class specific in the Statements of Operations:
| | | | | | | | |
| | International Index | | | Small Cap Index | |
Investor A | | $ | 3 | | | $ | 25 | |
The Administrator maintains a call center, which is responsible for providing certain shareholder services to the Funds, such as responding to shareholder inquiries and processing transactions based upon instructions from shareholders with respect to the subscription and redemption of Fund shares. For the six months ended June 30, 2015, each Fund reimbursed the Administrator the following amounts for costs incurred in running the call center, which are included in transfer agent — class specific in the Statements of Operations:
| | | | | | | | |
| | International Index | | | Small Cap Index | |
Institutional | | $ | 428 | | | $ | 188 | |
Investor A | | $ | 2,388 | | | $ | 1,197 | |
Class K | | $ | 12 | | | | — | |
Certain officers and/or directors of the Corporation are officers and/or directors of BlackRock or its affiliates. The Funds reimburse the Administrator for compensation paid to the Corporation’s Chief Compliance Officer, which is included in officer and directors in the Statements of Operations.

4. Income Tax Information:
It is the Funds’ policy to comply with the requirements of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, applicable to regulated investment companies, and to distribute substantially all of their taxable income to their shareholders. Therefore, no federal income tax provision is required.
The Funds file U.S. federal and various state and local tax returns. No income tax returns are currently under examination. The statute of limitations on the Funds’ U.S. federal tax returns remains open for each of the four years ended December 31, 2014. The statutes of limitations on the Funds’ state and local tax returns may remain open for an additional year depending upon the jurisdiction.
Management has analyzed tax laws and regulations and their application to the Funds’ as of June 30, 2015, inclusive of the open tax return years, and does not believe that there are any uncertain tax positions that require recognition of a tax liability in the Funds’ financial statements.
As of December 31, 2014, International Index had capital loss carryforwards available to offset future realized capital gains through the indicated expiration dates as follows:

• | | Fair Value Measurements — Various inputs are used in determining the fair value of investments and derivative financial instruments. These inputs to valuation techniques are categorized into a disclosure hierarchy consisting of three broad levels for financial statement purposes. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements). Accordingly, the degree of judgment exercised in determining fair value is greatest for instruments categorized in Level 3. The inputs used to measure fair value may fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In such cases, for disclosure purposes, the fair value hierarchy classification is determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety. The categorization of a value determined for investments and derivative financial instruments is based on the pricing transparency of the investment and derivative financial instrument and is not necessarily an indication of the risks associated with investing in those securities. The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are as follows: |
| • | | Level 1 — unadjusted quoted prices in active markets/exchanges for identical assets or liabilities that the Series has the ability to access |
| • | | Level 2 — other observable inputs (including, but not limited to, quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in markets that are active, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the assets or liabilities (such as interest rates, yield curves, volatilities, prepayment speeds, loss severities, credit risks and default rates) or other market-corroborated inputs) |
| • | | Level 3 — unobservable inputs based on the best information available in the circumstances, to the extent observable inputs are not available (including the Series’ own assumptions used in determining the fair value of investments and derivative financial instruments) |
Changes in valuation techniques may result in transfers into or out of an assigned level within the disclosure hierarchy. In accordance with the Series’ policy, transfers between different levels of the fair value disclosure hierarchy are deemed to have occurred as of the beginning of the reporting period. For information about the Series’ policy regarding valuation of investments and derivative financial instruments, refer to Note 2 of the Notes to Financial Statements.
As of June 30, 2015, the following tables summarize the Series’ investments and derivative financial instruments categorized in the disclosure hierarchy:

• | | Fair Value Measurements — Various inputs are used in determining the fair value of investments and derivative financial instruments. These inputs to valuation techniques are categorized into a disclosure hierarchy consisting of three broad levels for financial statement purposes. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements). Accordingly, the degree of judgment exercised in determining fair value is greatest for instruments categorized in Level 3. The inputs used to measure fair value may fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In such cases, for disclosure purposes, the fair value hierarchy classification is determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety. The categorization of a value determined for investments and derivative financial instruments is based on the pricing transparency of the investment and derivative financial instruments and is not necessarily an indication of the risks associated with investing in those securities. The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are as follows: |
| • | | Level 1 — unadjusted quoted prices in active markets/exchanges for identical assets or liabilities that the Series has the ability to access |
| • | | Level 2 — other observable inputs (including, but not limited to, quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in markets that are active, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the assets or liabilities (such as interest rates, yield curves, volatilities, prepayment speeds, loss severities, credit risks and default rates) or other market-corroborated inputs) |
| • | | Level 3 — unobservable inputs based on the best information available in the circumstances, to the extent observable inputs are not available (including the Series’ own assumptions used in determining the fair value of investments and derivative financial instruments) |
Changes in valuation techniques may result in transfers into or out of an assigned level within the disclosure hierarchy. In accordance with the Series’ policy, transfers between different levels of the fair value disclosure hierarchy are deemed to have occurred as of the beginning of the reporting period. For information about the Series’ policy regarding valuation of investments and derivative financial instruments, refer to Note 2 of the Notes to Financial Statements.
As of June 30, 2015, the following tables summarize the Series’ investments and derivative financial instruments categorized in the disclosure hierarchy:

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

| | | | | | |

reflected in the computation of the Series’ net assets. If events (e.g., a company announcement, market volatility or a natural disaster) occur during such periods that are expected to materially affect the value of such instruments, those instruments may be Fair Value Investments and be valued at their fair value, as determined in good faith by the Global Valuation Committee, or its delegate, using a pricing service and/or policies approved by the Board. Each business day, the Series uses a pricing service to assist with the valuation of certain foreign exchange-traded equity securities and foreign exchange-traded and OTC options (the “Systematic Fair Value Price”). Using current market factors, the Systematic Fair Value Price is designed to value such foreign securities and foreign options at fair value as of the close of business on the NYSE, which follows the close of the local markets.
Foreign Currency: The Series’ books and records are maintained in U.S. dollars. Purchases and sales of investment securities are recorded at the rates of exchange prevailing on the respective dates of such transactions. Generally, when the U.S. dollar rises in value against a foreign currency, the Series investments denominated in that currency will lose value because that currency is worth fewer U.S. dollars; the opposite effect occurs if the U.S. dollar falls in relative value.
The Series does not isolate the portion of the results of operations arising as a result of changes in the foreign exchange rates from the changes in the market prices of investments held or sold for financial reporting purposes. Accordingly, the effects of changes in foreign currency exchange rates on investments are not segregated in the Statements of Operations from the effects of changes in market prices of those investments, but are included as a component of net realized and unrealized gain (loss) from investments. The Series reports realized currency gains (losses) on foreign currency related transactions as components of net realized gain (loss) for financial reporting purposes, whereas such components are generally treated as ordinary income for federal income tax purposes.
Segregation and Collateralization: In cases where a Series enters into certain investments (e.g., financial futures contracts and forward foreign currency exchange contracts), that would be “senior securities” for 1940 Act purposes, the Series may segregate or designate on their books and records cash or liquid securities having a market value at least equal to the amount of the Series’ future obligations under such investments. Doing so allows the investment to be excluded from treatment as a “senior security.” Furthermore, if required by an exchange or counterparty agreement, the Series may be required to deliver/deposit cash and/or securities to/with an exchange, or broker-dealer or custodian as collateral for certain investments or obligations.
Investment Transactions and Investment Income: For financial reporting purposes, investment transactions are recorded on the dates the transactions are entered into (the trade dates). Realized gains and losses on investment transactions are determined on the identified cost basis. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date. Dividends from foreign securities where the ex-dividend date may have passed are subsequently recorded when the Series is informed of the ex-dividend date. Under the applicable foreign tax laws, a withholding tax at various rates may be imposed on capital gains, dividends and interest. Upon notification from issuers, some of the dividend income received from a real estate investment trust may be redesignated as a reduction of cost of the related investment and/or realized gain.
Other: Expenses directly related to a Series are charged to that Series. Other operating expenses shared by several funds are prorated among those funds on the basis of relative net assets or other appropriate methods.
The Series have an arrangement with their custodian whereby fees may be reduced by credits earned on uninvested cash balances, which, if applicable, are shown as fees paid indirectly in the Statements of Operations. The custodian imposes fees on overdrawn cash balances, which can be offset by accumulated credits earned or may result in additional custody charges.
3. Securities and Other Investments:
Preferred Stock: The Series may invest in preferred stock. Preferred stock has a preference over common stock in liquidation (and generally in receiving dividends as well) but is subordinated to the liabilities of the issuer in all respects. As a general rule, the market value of preferred stock with a fixed dividend rate and no conversion element varies inversely with interest rates and perceived credit risk, while the market price of convertible preferred stock generally also reflects some element of conversion value. Because preferred stock is junior to debt securities and other obligations of the issuer, deterioration in the credit quality of the issuer will cause greater changes in the value of a preferred stock than in a more senior debt security with similar stated yield characteristics. Unlike interest payments on debt securities, preferred stock dividends are payable only if declared by the issuer’s board of directors. Preferred stock also may be subject to optional or mandatory redemption provisions.
Securities Lending: The Series may lend their securities to approved borrowers, such as brokers, dealers and other financial institutions. The borrower pledges and maintains with the Series collateral consisting of cash, an irrevocable letter of credit issued by a bank, or securities issued or guaranteed by the U.S. Government. The initial collateral received by each Series is required to have a value of at least 102% of the current value of the loaned securities for securities traded on U.S. exchanges and a value of at least 105% for all other securities. The collateral is maintained thereafter at a value equal to at least 100% of the current market value of the securities on loan. The market value of the loaned securities is determined at the close of each business day of the Series and any additional required collateral is delivered to the Series, or excess collateral returned by the Series, on the next business day. During the term of the loan, the Series are entitled to all distributions made on or in respect of the loaned securities. Loans of securities are terminable at any time and the borrower, after notice, is required to return borrowed securities within the standard time period for settlement of securities transactions.

The market value of securities on loan, all of which were classified as common stocks in the Series’ Schedules of Investments, and the value of the related collateral are shown separately in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities as a component of investments at value-unaffiliated, and collateral on securities loaned at value, respectively. As of June 30, 2015, any securities on loan were collateralized by cash. The cash collateral invested by the securities lending agent, BlackRock Investment Management, LLC (“BIM”), if any, is disclosed in the Schedules of Investments.
Securities lending transactions are entered into by the Series under Master Securities Lending Agreements (each, an “MSLA”) which provide the right, in the event of default (including bankruptcy or insolvency), for the non-defaulting party to liquidate the collateral and calculate a net exposure to the defaulting party or request additional collateral. In the event that a borrower defaults, the Series, as lender, would offset the market value of the collateral received against the market value of the securities loaned. When the value of the collateral is greater than that of the market value of the securities loaned, the lender is left with a net amount payable to the defaulting party. However, bankruptcy or insolvency laws of a particular jurisdiction may impose restrictions on or prohibitions against such a right of offset in the event of an MSLA counterparty’s bankruptcy or insolvency. Under the MSLA, the borrower can resell or re-pledge the loaned securities, and the Series can reinvest cash collateral, or, upon an event of default, resell or re-pledge the collateral.
As of June 30, 2015, the following table is a summary of the Series’ securities lending agreements by counterparty, which are subject to offset under an MSLA:

The risks of securities lending include the risk that the borrower may not provide additional collateral when required or may not return the securities when due. To mitigate these risks, the Series benefit from a borrower default indemnity provided by BIM. BIM’s indemnity allows for full replacement of the securities loaned if the collateral received does not cover the value on the securities loaned in the event of borrower default. The Series could suffer a loss if the value of an investment purchased with cash collateral falls below the market value of loaned securities or if the value of an investment purchased with cash collateral falls below the value of the original cash collateral received.
4. Derivative Financial Instruments:
The Series engage in various portfolio investment strategies using derivative contracts both to increase the returns of the Series and/or to manage economically their exposure to certain risks such as equity risk, and foreign currency exchange rate risk. These contracts may be transacted on an exchange or over-the-counter (“OTC”).

| | | | | | |

| | |
Notes to Financial Statements (continued) | | Quantitative Master Series LLC |
Financial Futures Contracts: The Series invest in long and/or short positions in financial futures contracts and options on financial futures contracts to gain exposure to, or economically hedge against, changes in interest rates (interest rate risk), changes in the value of equity securities (equity risk) or foreign currencies (foreign currency exchange rate risk). Financial futures contracts are agreements between the Series and a counterparty to buy or sell a specific quantity of an underlying instrument at a specified price and at a specified date. Depending on the terms of the particular contract, financial futures contracts are settled either through physical delivery of the underlying instrument on the settlement date or by payment of a cash settlement amount on the settlement date.
Upon entering into a financial futures contract, the Series are required to deposit initial margin with the broker in the form of cash or securities in an amount that varies depending on a contract’s size and risk profile. The initial margin deposit must then be maintained at an established level over the life of the contract. Securities deposited as initial margin are designated on the Schedules of Investments and cash deposited, if any, is recorded on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities as cash pledged for financial futures contracts. Pursuant to the contract, the Series agree to receive from or pay to the broker an amount of cash equal to the daily fluctuation in value of the contract. Such receipts or payments are known as variation margin. Variation margin is recorded by the Series as unrealized appreciation (depreciation) and, if applicable, as a receivable or payable for variation margin in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities.
When the contract is closed, the Series record a realized gain or loss equal to the difference between the value of the contract at the time it was opened and the value at the time it was closed. The use of financial futures contracts involves the risk of an imperfect correlation in the movements in the price of financial futures contracts, interest or foreign currency exchange rates and the underlying assets.
The following is a summary of the Series’ derivative financial instruments categorized by risk exposure:

For the six months ended June 30, 2015, the average quarterly balances of outstanding derivative financial instruments were as follows:

Financial futures contracts: | | | | | | | | | | |
Average notional value of contracts purchased | | | | $ | 49,428,316 | | | $ | 48,668,580 | |
| | | | | | |
Counterparty Credit Risk: A derivative contract may suffer a mark-to-market loss if the value of the contract decreases due to an unfavorable change in the market rates or values of the underlying instrument. Losses can also occur if the counterparty does not perform under the contract.
With exchange-traded futures, there is less counterparty credit risk to the Series since the exchange or clearinghouse, as counterparty to such instruments, guarantees against a possible default. The clearinghouse stands between the buyer and the seller of the contract; therefore, credit risk is limited to failure of the clearinghouse. While offset rights may exist under applicable law, a Series does not have a contractual right of offset against a clearing broker or clearinghouse in the event of a default (including the bankruptcy or insolvency) of the clearing broker or clearinghouse. Additionally, credit risk exists in exchange-traded futures with respect to initial and variation margin that is held in a clearing broker’s customer accounts. While clearing brokers are required to segregate customer margin from their own assets, in the event that a clearing broker becomes insolvent or goes into bankruptcy and at that time there is a shortfall in the aggregate amount of margin held by the clearing broker for all its clients, typically the shortfall would be allocated on a pro rata basis across all the clearing broker’s customers, potentially resulting in losses to the Series.

5. Investment Advisory Agreement and Other Transactions with Affiliates:
The PNC Financial Services Group, Inc. is the largest stockholder and an affiliate of BlackRock, Inc. (“BlackRock”) for 1940 Act purposes.
The Master LLC, on behalf of the Series, entered into an Investment Advisory Agreement with the 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 each management of the Series’ portfolio and provides the necessary personnel, facilities, equipment and certain other services to the operations of each Series. For such services, each Series pays the Manager a monthly fee at an annual rate of 0.01% of each Series’ average daily net assets.
The Manager contractually agreed to waive and/or reimburse fees or expenses in order to limit expenses, excluding interest expense, dividend expense, acquired fund fees and expenses, and certain other fund expenses, which constitute extraordinary expenses not incurred in the ordinary course of the Series’ business. The expense limitations as a percentage of average daily net assets are as follows: 0.07% for Master International Index and 0.08% for Master Small Cap Index. Prior to April 30, 2015, the expense limitation as a percentage of average daily net assets for Master International Index was 0.12%.
The Manager has agreed not to reduce or discontinue this contractual waiver or reimbursement prior to May 1, 2016, unless approved by the Board, including a majority of the Independent Directors. For the year ended June 30, 2015, the Manager waived $490 with respect to Master Small Cap Index, which is included in fees waived and/or reimbursed by the Manager in the Statements of Operations.
The Manager voluntarily agreed to waive its investment advisory fees by the amount of investment advisory fees each Series pays to the Manager indirectly through its investment in affiliated money market funds. These amounts are included in fees waived and/or reimbursed by the Manager in the Statements of Operations. However, the Manager does not waive its investment advisory fees by the amount of investment advisory fees paid in connection with each Series’ investments in other affiliated investment companies, if any. For the six months ended June 30, 2015 the amounts waived for Master International Index and Master Small Cap Index were $5,074 and $12,335, respectively.
For the six months ended June 30, 2015, each Series reimbursed the Manager for certain accounting services, which is included in accounting services in the Statements of Operations.
The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission has issued an exemptive order which permits BIM, an affiliate of the Manager, to serve as securities lending agent for each Series, subject to applicable conditions. As securities lending agent, BIM bears all operational costs directly related to securities lending. The Series are responsible for expenses in connection with the investment of cash collateral received for securities on loan (the “collateral investment expenses”). The cash collateral is invested in a private investment company managed by the Manager or its affiliates. However, BIM has agreed to cap the collateral investment expenses of the private investment company to an annual rate of 0.04%. The investment advisor to the private investment company will not charge any advisory fees with respect to shares purchased by the Series.
Securities lending income is equal to the total of income earned from the reinvestment of cash collateral, net of fees and other payments to and from borrowers of securities, and less the collateral investment expenses. Each Series retains a portion of securities lending income and remits a remaining portion to BIM as compensation for its services as securities lending agent. Pursuant to a securities lending agreement, BIM may lend securities only when the difference between the borrower rebate rate and the risk free rate exceeds a certain level (such securities, the “specials only securities”).
Pursuant to such agreement, each Series retains 80% of securities lending income. In addition, commencing the business day following the date that the aggregate securities lending income earned across certain funds in the Equity-Liquidity Complex in a calendar year exceeds a specified threshold, each Series, pursuant to the securities lending agreement, will retain for the remainder of the calendar year securities lending income in an amount equal to 85% of securities lending income.
The share of securities lending income earned by each Series is shown as securities lending — affiliated — net in the Statements of Operations. For the six months ended June 30, 2015, each Series paid BIM the following amounts for securities lending agent services:
| | | | |
Master International Index | | $ | 34,571 | |
Master Small Cap Index | | $ | 220,225 | |
Certain officers and/or directors of the Master LLC are officers and/or directors of BlackRock or its affiliates.
The Series may purchase securities from, or sell securities to, an affiliated fund provided the affiliation is due solely to having a common investment advisor, common officers, or common trustees. For the six months ended June 30, 2015, the purchase and sale transactions with an affiliated fund in compliance with Rule 17a-7 under the 1940 Act were as follows:
| | | | | | | | |
| | Purchases | | | Sales | |
Master Small Cap Index | | $ | 17,773,833 | | | $ | 31,528,501 | |

7. Income Tax Information:
The Series are classified as partnerships for federal income tax purposes. As such, each investor in the Series is treated as the owner of its proportionate share of net assets, income, expenses and realized and unrealized gains and losses of the Series. Therefore, no federal income tax provision is required. It is intended that the Series’ assets will be managed so an investor in the Series can satisfy the requirements of Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended.
The Series file U.S. federal and various state and local tax returns. No income tax returns are currently under examination. The statute of limitations on the Series’ U.S. federal tax returns remains open for each of the four years ended December 31, 2014. The statutes of limitations on the Funds’ state and local tax returns may remain open for an additional year depending upon the jurisdiction.
Management has analyzed tax laws and regulations and their application to the Series as of June 30, 2015, inclusive of the open tax return years, and does not believe there are any uncertain tax positions that require recognition of a tax liability in the Series’ financial statements.
As of June 30, 2015, gross unrealized appreciation and depreciation based on cost for federal income tax purposes were as follows:
| | | | | | | | |
| | Master International Index | | | Master Small Cap Index | |
Tax cost | | $ | 3,426,386,686 | | | $ | 755,434,638 | |
| | | | | | | | |
Gross unrealized appreciation | | $ | 341,243,277 | | | $ | 300,568,491 | |
Gross unrealized depreciation | | | (141,104,069 | ) | | | (44,871,996 | ) |
| | | | | | | | |
Net unrealized appreciation | | $ | 200,139,208 | | | $ | 255,696,495 | |
| | | | | | | | |
8. Bank Borrowings:
The Master LLC, on behalf of the Series, along with certain other funds managed by the Manager and its affiliates (“Participating Funds”), is a party to a 364-day, $2.1 billion credit agreement with a group of lenders, under which the Series may borrow to fund shareholder redemptions. Excluding commitments designated for certain individual funds, the Participating Funds, including the Series, can borrow up to an aggregate commitment amount of $1.6 billion, subject to asset coverage and other limitations as specified in the agreement. The credit agreement has the following terms: a fee of 0.06% per annum on unused commitment amounts and interest at a rate equal to the higher of (a) one-month LIBOR (but, in any event, not less than 0.00%) on the date the loan is made plus 0.80% per annum or (b) the Fed Funds rate (but, in any event, not less than 0.00%) in effect from time to time plus 0.80% per annum on amounts borrowed. The agreement expires in April 2016 unless extended or renewed. Participating Funds paid administration, legal and arrangement fees, which are included in miscellaneous expenses in the Statements of Operations, and along with commitment fees, were allocated among such funds based upon portions of the aggregate commitment available to them and relative net assets of Participating Funds. During the six months ended June 30, 2015, the Series did not borrow under the credit agreement.
9. Principal Risks:
In the normal course of business, the Series invest in securities and enter into transactions where risks exist due to fluctuations in the market (market risk) or failure of the issuer of a security to meet all its obligations, including to pay principal and interest when due (issuer credit risk). The value of securities held by the Series may decline in response to certain events, including those directly involving the issuers 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, interest rate and price fluctuations. Similar to issuer credit risk, the Series may be exposed to counterparty credit risk, or the risk that an entity with which the Series have unsettled or open transactions may fail to or be unable to perform on their commitments. The Series manage counterparty credit risk by entering into transactions only with counterparties that the Manager believes have the financial resources to honor their obligations and by monitoring the financial stability of those counterparties. Financial assets, which potentially expose the Series to market, issuer and counterparty credit risks, consist principally of financial instruments and receivables due from counterparties. The extent of the Series’ exposure to market, issuer and counterparty credit risks with respect to these financial assets is generally approximated by their value recorded in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities, less any collateral held by the Series.
Master International Index invests a substantial amount of its assets in issuers located in a single country or a limited number of countries. When the Series concentrates its investments in this manner, it assumes the risk that economic, political and social conditions in those countries may have a

significant impact on their investment performance. Foreign issuers may not be subject to the same uniform accounting, auditing and financial reporting standards and practices as used in the United States. Foreign securities markets may also be less liquid, more volatile, and less subject to governmental supervision not typically associated with investing in U.S. securities. Investment percentages in specific countries are presented in the Schedules of Investments.
Master International Index invests a significant portion of its assets in securities of issuers located in Europe or with significant exposure to European issuers or countries. The European financial markets have recently experienced volatility and adverse trends due to concerns about economic downturns in, or rising government debt levels of, several European countries. These events may spread to other countries in Europe and may affect the value and liquidity of certain of the Master International Index’s investments.
As of June 30, 2015, Master Small Cap Index invested a significant portion of its assets in securities in the financial sector. Changes in economic conditions affecting such sectors would have a greater impact on the Master Small Cap Index and could affect the value, income and/or liquidity of positions in such securities.
As of June 30, 2015, the Series investments had the following industry classifications:

The Board of Directors of Quantitative Master Series LLC (the “Master LLC”) met in person on April 21, 2015 (the “April Meeting”) and May 18-20, 2015 (the “May Meeting”) to consider the approval of the investment advisory agreement (the “Agreement”) between the Master LLC, on behalf of Master International Index Series and Master Small Cap Index Series (each, a “Master Portfolio” and collectively, the “Master Portfolios”), each a series of the Master LLC, and BlackRock Advisors, LLC (the “Manager” or “BlackRock”), the Master LLC’s investment advisor. Each of BlackRock International Index Fund and BlackRock Small Cap Index Fund (each, a “Fund” and collectively, the “Funds”), each a series of BlackRock Index Funds, Inc. (the “Corporation”), is a “feeder” fund that invests all of its investable assets in the corresponding Master Portfolio. Accordingly, the Board of Directors of the Corporation also considered the approval of the Agreement with respect to each Master Portfolio. For simplicity: (a) the Board of Directors of the Master LLC and the Board of Directors of the Corporation are referred to herein collectively as the “Board,” and the members are referred to as “Board Members;” and (b) the shareholders of each Fund and the interest holders of each Master Portfolio are referred to as “shareholders.”
Activities and Composition of the Board
On the date of the May Meeting, the Board consisted of fourteen individuals, thirteen of whom were not “interested persons” of the Master LLC or the Corporation as defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”) (the “Independent Board Members”). The Board Members are responsible for the oversight of the operations of the Master LLC or the Corporation, as pertinent, and perform the various duties imposed on the directors of investment companies by the 1940 Act. The Independent Board Members have retained independent legal counsel to assist them in connection with their duties. The Chair of the Board is an Independent Board Member. The Board has established five standing committees: an Audit Committee, a Governance and Nominating Committee, a Compliance Committee, a Performance Oversight and Contract Committee and an Executive Committee, each of which is chaired by an Independent Board Member and composed of Independent Board Members (except for the Executive Committee, which also has one interested Board Member).
The Agreement
Pursuant to the 1940 Act, the Board is required to consider the continuation of the Agreement on an annual basis. The Board has four quarterly meetings per year, each extending over two days, a fifth one-day meeting to consider specific information surrounding the consideration of renewing the Agreement, and additional in-person and telephonic meetings as needed. In connection with this year-long deliberative process, the Board assessed, among other things, the nature, extent and quality of the services provided to the Master Portfolios and the Funds by BlackRock, BlackRock’s personnel and affiliates, including (as applicable) investment management services; administrative and shareholder services; the oversight of fund service providers; marketing services; risk oversight; compliance; and ability to meet applicable legal and regulatory requirements.
The Board, acting directly and through its committees, considers at each of its meetings, and from time to time as appropriate, factors that are relevant to its annual consideration of the renewal of the Agreement, including the services and support provided by BlackRock to the Master Portfolios, the Funds and their shareholders. Among the matters the Board considered were: (a) investment performance for one-year, three-year, five-year and/or since inception periods, as applicable, against peer funds, applicable benchmark, and performance metrics, as applicable, as well as senior management’s and portfolio managers’ analysis of the reasons for any over performance or underperformance relative to its peers, benchmark, and other performance metrics, as applicable; (b) fees, including advisory, administration, if applicable, and other amounts paid to BlackRock and its affiliates by the Master Portfolios and/or the Funds for services, such as marketing and distribution, call center and fund accounting; (c) the Master Portfolios’ and /or the Funds’ operating expenses and how BlackRock allocates expenses to the Master Portfolios and the Funds; (d) the resources devoted to, risk oversight of, and compliance reports relating to, implementation of each Master Portfolio’s and Fund’s investment objective(s), policies and restrictions, and meeting new regulatory requirements; (e) the Master LLC’s and the Corporation’s compliance with its respective compliance policies and procedures; (f) the nature, cost and character of non-investment management services provided by BlackRock and its affiliates; (g) BlackRock’s and other service providers’ internal controls and risk and compliance oversight mechanisms; (h) BlackRock’s implementation of the proxy voting policies approved by the Board; (i) the use of brokerage commissions and execution quality of portfolio transactions; (j) BlackRock’s implementation of the Master LLC’s and/or the Corporation’s valuation and liquidity procedures; (k) an analysis of management fees for products with similar investment mandates across the open-end fund, exchange-traded fund (“ETF”), closed-end fund and institutional account product channels, as applicable, and the similarities and differences between these products and the services provided as compared to the Master Portfolios and/or the Funds; (l) BlackRock’s compensation methodology for its investment professionals and the incentives it creates, along with investment professionals’ investments in the fund(s) they manage; and (m) periodic updates on BlackRock’s business.
The Board has engaged in an ongoing strategic review with BlackRock of opportunities to consolidate funds and of BlackRock’s commitment to investment performance. BlackRock also furnished information to the Board in response to specific questions. These questions covered issues such as: BlackRock’s profitability; investment performance; sub-advisory and advisory relationships with other clients (including mutual funds sponsored by third parties); the viability of specific funds; fund size and manager capacity; BlackRock’s research capabilities; portfolio managers’ investments in funds they manage; funds’ portfolio risk targets; and management fee levels and breakpoints. The Board further discussed with BlackRock: BlackRock’s management structure; portfolio turnover, execution quality and use of soft dollars; BlackRock’s portfolio manager compensation and performance accountability; marketing support for the funds; services provided to the funds by BlackRock affiliates; and BlackRock’s oversight of relationships with third party service providers.

Board Considerations in Approving the Agreement
The Approval Process: Prior to the April Meeting, the Board requested and received materials specifically relating to the Agreement. The Board is continuously engaged in a process with its independent legal counsel and BlackRock to review the nature and scope of the information provided to better assist its deliberations. The materials provided in connection with the April Meeting included (a) information independently compiled and prepared by Lipper, Inc. (“Lipper”) on fees and expenses of each Master Portfolio and Fund, as applicable, as compared with a peer group of funds as determined by Lipper (“Expense Peers”) and the investment performance of each Fund as compared with a peer group of funds as determined by Lipper1, as well as the gross investment performance of each Fund as compared with its benchmark; (b) information on the profits realized by BlackRock and its affiliates pursuant to the Agreement and a discussion of fall-out benefits to BlackRock and its affiliates; (c) a general analysis provided by BlackRock concerning investment management fees charged to other clients, such as institutional clients, sub-advised mutual funds, ETFs and closed-end funds, under similar investment mandates, as well as the performance of such other clients, as applicable; (d) review of non-management fees; (e) the existence, impact and sharing of potential economies of scale; (f) a summary of aggregate amounts paid by each Master Portfolio and/or Fund to BlackRock; (g) sales and redemption data regarding each Fund’s shares; and (h) if applicable, a comparison of management fees to similar BlackRock open-end funds, as classified by Lipper.
At the April Meeting, the Board reviewed materials relating to its consideration of the Agreement. As a result of the discussions that occurred during the April Meeting, and as a culmination of the Board’s year-long deliberative process, the Board presented BlackRock with questions and requests for additional information. BlackRock responded to these requests with additional written information in advance of the May Meeting.
At the May Meeting, the Board of the Master LLC, including the Independent Board Members, approved the continuation of the Agreement between the Manager and the Master LLC with respect to each Master Portfolio for a one-year term ending June 30, 2016. The Board of the Corporation, including the Independent Board Members, also considered the continuation of the Agreement with respect to each Master Portfolio and found the Agreement to be satisfactory. In approving the continuation of the Agreement, the Board of the Master LLC considered: (a) the nature, extent and quality of the services provided by BlackRock; (b) the investment performance of each Master Portfolio, each Fund and BlackRock; (c) the advisory fee and the cost of the services and profits to be realized by BlackRock and its affiliates from their relationship with the Master Portfolios and the Funds; (d) each Fund’s costs to investors compared to the costs of Expense Peers and performance compared to the relevant performance comparison as previously discussed; (e) the sharing of potential economies of scale; (f) fall-out benefits to BlackRock and its affiliates as a result of its relationship with the Master Portfolios and the Funds; and (g) other factors deemed relevant by the Board Members.
The Board also considered other matters it deemed important to the approval process, such as payments made to BlackRock or its affiliates relating to the distribution of Fund shares, securities lending and cash management, services related to the valuation and pricing of portfolio holdings of each Master Portfolio, direct and indirect benefits to BlackRock and its affiliates from their relationship with the Master Portfolios and the Funds and advice from independent legal counsel with respect to the review process and materials submitted for the Board’s review. The Board noted the willingness of BlackRock personnel to engage in open, candid discussions with the Board. The Board did not identify any particular information as determinative, and each Board Member may have attributed different weights to the various items considered.
A. Nature, Extent and Quality of the Services Provided by BlackRock: The Board, including the Independent Board Members, reviewed the nature, extent and quality of services provided by BlackRock, including the investment advisory services and the resulting performance of each Fund. Throughout the year, the Board compared each Fund’s performance to the performance of a comparable group of mutual funds, relevant benchmark, and performance metrics, as applicable. The Board met with BlackRock’s senior management personnel responsible for investment activities, including the senior investment officers. The Board also reviewed the materials provided by each Master Portfolio’s portfolio management team discussing Master Portfolio performance and the Master Portfolio’s investment objective(s), strategies and outlook.
The Board considered, among other factors, with respect to BlackRock: the number, education and experience of investment personnel generally and each Master Portfolio’s portfolio management team; BlackRock’s research capabilities; investments by portfolio managers in the funds they manage; portfolio trading capabilities; use of technology; commitment to compliance; credit analysis capabilities; risk analysis and oversight capabilities; and the approach to training and retaining portfolio managers and other research, advisory and management personnel. The Board engaged in a review of BlackRock’s compensation structure with respect to each Master Portfolio’s portfolio management team and BlackRock’s ability to attract and retain high-quality talent and create performance incentives.
In addition to advisory services, the Board considered the quality of the administrative and other non-investment advisory services provided to each Master Portfolio and Fund. BlackRock and its affiliates provide the Master Portfolios and the Funds with certain administrative, shareholder and other services (in addition to any such services provided to the Master Portfolios and the Funds by third parties) and officers and other personnel as are necessary for the operations of the Master Portfolios and the Funds. In particular, BlackRock and its affiliates provide the Master Portfolios and the Funds with the following administrative services, including, among others: (i) preparing disclosure documents, such as the prospectus, the summary prospectus (as applicable), the statement of additional information and periodic shareholder reports; (ii) oversight of daily accounting and pricing; (iii) overseeing and coordinating the

activities of other service providers; (iv) organizing Board meetings and preparing the materials for such Board meetings; (v) providing legal and compliance support; (vi) furnishing analytical and other support to assist the Board in its consideration of strategic issues such as the merger, consolidation or repurposing of certain open-end funds; and (vii) performing other administrative functions necessary for the operation of the Master Portfolios and the Funds, such as tax reporting, fulfilling regulatory filing requirements and call center services. The Board reviewed the structure and duties of BlackRock’s fund administration, shareholder services, legal and compliance departments and considered BlackRock’s policies and procedures for assuring compliance with applicable laws and regulations.
B. The Investment Performance of the Master Portfolios, the Funds and BlackRock: The Board, including the Independent Board Members, also reviewed and considered the performance history of each Master Portfolio and Fund, as applicable. The Board noted that each Fund’s investment results correspond directly to the investment results of the applicable Master Portfolio. In preparation for the April Meeting, the Board worked with its independent legal counsel, BlackRock and Lipper to develop a template for, and was provided with, reports independently prepared by Lipper, which included a comprehensive analysis of each Fund’s performance. The Board also reviewed a narrative and statistical analysis of the Lipper data that was prepared by BlackRock. In connection with its review, the Board received and reviewed information regarding the investment performance of each Fund as compared to other funds in its applicable Lipper category and the gross investment performance of each Fund as compared with its benchmark. The Board was provided with a description of the methodology used by Lipper to select peer funds and periodically meets with Lipper representatives to review its methodology. The Board and its Performance Oversight and Contract Committee regularly review, and meet with Master Portfolio management to discuss, the performance of each Master Portfolio and Fund, as applicable, throughout the year.
In evaluating performance, the Board recognized that the performance data reflects a snapshot of a period or as of a particular date and that selecting a different performance period could produce significantly different results. Further, the Board recognized that it is possible that long-term performance can be adversely affected by even one period of significant underperformance so that a single investment decision or theme has the ability to affect long-term performance disproportionately.
BlackRock believes that gross performance relative to the benchmark is an appropriate performance metric for each Fund.
The Board noted that for the one-, three- and five-year periods reported, BlackRock International Index Fund’s gross performance (before expenses and fees), as agreed upon by the Board, was out of tolerance of its benchmark, underperformed its benchmark and underperformed its benchmark, respectively. The Board and BlackRock reviewed and discussed the reasons for BlackRock International Index Fund’s out of tolerance performance during the one-year period. The Board was informed that, underperformance for the one-year period was due in part to large flows into the Fund.
The Board noted that for the one-, three- and five-year periods reported, BlackRock Small Cap Index Fund’s gross performance (before expenses and fees), as agreed upon by the Board, was within tolerance, out of tolerance and out of tolerance of its benchmark, respectively. The Board noted BlackRock Small Cap Index Fund’s improved performance during the one-year period. The Board and BlackRock reviewed and discussed the reasons for the Fund’s out of tolerance performance during the three- and five-year periods. The Board was informed that, among other things, one of the factors which caused the Fund to exceed the benchmark, by an out of tolerance amount, in the three- and five-year periods was the result of securities lending.
The Board and BlackRock also discussed BlackRock’s strategy for improving the performance of each Master Portfolio/Fund and BlackRock’s commitment to providing the resources necessary to assist the portfolio managers of each Master Portfolio in seeking to do so.
C. Consideration of the Advisory/Management Fees and the Cost of the Services and Profits to be Realized by BlackRock and its Affiliates from their Relationship with the Master Portfolios and the Funds: The Board, including the Independent Board Members, reviewed each Master Portfolio’s/Fund’s contractual management fee rate compared with the other funds in the relevant Fund’s Lipper category. The contractual management fee rate represents a combination of the advisory fee and any administrative fees, before taking into account any reimbursements or fee waivers. The Board also compared each Fund’s total expense ratio, as well as each Master Portfolio’s/Fund’s actual management fee rate, to those of other funds in the relevant Fund’s Lipper category. The total expense ratio represents a fund’s total net operating expenses, including any 12b-1 or non-12b-1 service fees. The total expense ratio gives effect to any expense reimbursements or fee waivers that benefit a fund, and the actual management fee rate gives effect to any management fee reimbursements or waivers that benefit a fund. The Board considered the services provided and the fees charged by BlackRock and its affiliates to other types of clients with similar investment mandates, as applicable, including institutional accounts and sub-advised mutual funds.
The Board received and reviewed statements relating to BlackRock’s financial condition. The Board reviewed BlackRock’s profitability methodology and was also provided with a profitability analysis that detailed the revenues earned and the expenses incurred by BlackRock for services provided to the Master Portfolios and the Funds. The Board reviewed BlackRock’s profitability with respect to each Master Portfolio and Fund, as applicable, and other funds the Board currently oversees for the year ended December 31, 2014 compared to available aggregate profitability data provided for the two prior years. The Board reviewed BlackRock’s profitability with respect to certain other U.S. fund complexes managed by the Manager and/or its affiliates. The Board reviewed BlackRock’s assumptions and methodology of allocating expenses in the profitability analysis, noting the inherent limitations in allocating costs among various advisory products. The Board recognized that profitability may be affected by numerous factors including, among other things, fee waivers and expense reimbursements by the Manager, the types of funds managed, precision of expense allocations and business mix. As a result, calculating and comparing profitability at individual fund levels is difficult.

Disclosure of Investment Advisory Agreement (concluded) |
The Board noted that, in general, individual fund or product line profitability of other advisors is not publicly available. The Board reviewed BlackRock’s overall operating margin, in general, compared to that of certain other publicly-traded asset management firms. The Board considered the differences between BlackRock and these other firms, including the contribution of technology at BlackRock, BlackRock’s expense management, and the relative product mix.
In addition, the Board considered the cost of the services provided to the Master Portfolios and the Funds by BlackRock, and BlackRock’s and its affiliates’ profits relating to the management and distribution of the Master Portfolios and the Funds and the other funds advised by BlackRock and its affiliates. As part of its analysis, the Board reviewed BlackRock’s methodology in allocating its costs to the management of the Master Portfolios and the Funds. The Board also considered whether BlackRock has the financial resources necessary to attract and retain high quality investment management personnel to perform its obligations under the Agreement and to continue to provide the high quality of services that is expected by the Board. The Board further considered factors including but not limited to BlackRock’s commitment of time, assumption of risk and liability profile in servicing the Master Portfolios and the Funds in contrast to what is required of BlackRock with respect to other products with similar investment mandates across the open-end fund, ETF, closed-end fund, sub-advised mutual fund and institutional account product channels, as applicable.
The Board noted that with respect to each Master Portfolio/Fund, the Master Portfolio’s/Fund’s contractual management fee rate ranked in the first quartile, and the actual management fee rate and the corresponding Fund’s total expense ratio ranked in the first and second quartiles, respectively, relative to the Fund’s Expense Peers. The Board also noted that BlackRock has contractually agreed to a cap on each Master Portfolio’s total expenses as a percentage of the Master Portfolio’s average daily net assets and has contractually agreed to a cap on each Fund’s total expenses as a percentage of the Fund’s average daily net assets on a class-by-class basis. The Board noted that BlackRock proposed, and the Board agreed to, a lower contractual expense cap on Master International Index Series and a lower contractual expense cap on each Fund on a class-by-class basis. These expense cap reductions were implemented on April 30, 2015. The Board also noted that BlackRock proposed, and the Board agreed to, a contractual reduction of each Fund’s administration fee. This administration fee reduction was implemented on April 30, 2015.
D. Economies of Scale: The Board, including the Independent Board Members, considered the extent to which economies of scale might be realized as the assets of the Master Portfolios and the Funds increase, as well as the existence of expense caps, as applicable. The Board also considered the extent to which the Master Portfolios and the Funds benefit from such economies and whether there should be changes in the advisory fee rate or breakpoint structure in order to enable the Master Portfolios and the Funds to participate in these economies of scale, for example through the use of breakpoints in the advisory fee based upon the asset level of the Master Portfolios. In their consideration, the Board Members took into account the existence of any expense caps and further considered the continuation and/or implementation, as applicable, of such caps.
E. Other Factors Deemed Relevant by the Board Members: The Board, including the Independent Board Members, also took into account other ancillary or “fall-out” benefits that BlackRock or its affiliates may derive from their respective relationships with the Master Portfolios and the Funds, both tangible and intangible, such as BlackRock’s ability to leverage its investment professionals who manage other portfolios and risk management personnel, an increase in BlackRock’s profile in the investment advisory community, and the engagement of BlackRock’s affiliates as service providers to the Master Portfolios and the Funds, including for administrative, distribution, securities lending and cash management services. The Board also considered BlackRock’s overall operations and its efforts to expand the scale of, and improve the quality of, its operations. The Board also noted that BlackRock may use and benefit from third party research obtained by soft dollars generated by certain registered fund transactions to assist in managing all or a number of its other client accounts. The Board further noted that it had considered the investment by BlackRock’s funds in affiliated ETFs without any offset against the management fees payable by the funds to BlackRock.
In connection with its consideration of the Agreement, the Board also received information regarding BlackRock’s brokerage and soft dollar practices. The Board received reports from BlackRock which included information on brokerage commissions and trade execution practices throughout the year.
The Board noted the competitive nature of the open-end fund marketplace, and that shareholders are able to redeem their Fund shares if they believe that the pertinent Fund’s and/or Master Portfolio’s fees and expenses are too high or if they are dissatisfied with the performance of the Fund.
Conclusion
The Board of the Master LLC, including the Independent Board Members, approved the continuation of the Agreement between the Manager and the Master LLC, with respect to each Master Portfolio, for a one-year term ending June 30, 2016. Based upon its evaluation of all of the aforementioned factors in their totality, the Board of the Master LLC, including the Independent Board Members, was satisfied that the terms of the Agreement were fair and reasonable and in the best interest of each Master Portfolio and its shareholders. The Board of the Corporation, including the Independent Board Members, also considered the continuation of the Agreement with respect to each Master Portfolio and found the Agreement to be satisfactory. In arriving at its decision to approve the Agreement, the Board of the Master LLC did not identify any single factor or group of factors as all-important or controlling, but considered all factors together, and different Board Members may have attributed different weights to the various factors considered. The Independent Board Members were also assisted by the advice of independent legal counsel in making this determination. The contractual fee arrangements for the Master Portfolios reflect the results of several years of review by the Board Members and predecessor Board Members, and discussions between such Board Members (and predecessor Board Members) and BlackRock. As a result, the Board Members’ conclusions may be based in part on their consideration of these arrangements in prior years.
