TABLE OF CONTENTS
HEWITT SERIES TRUST
SHAREHOLDER EXPENSES (Unaudited)
As a shareholder of the Hewitt Money Market Fund (the “Fund”), you incur ongoing costs, including management fees and other fund expenses. The following example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars and cents) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other money market funds.
The example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period from January 1, 2010 to June 30, 2010.
Actual Expenses
The first line under the Fund in the table below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first line for the Fund under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.
Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes
The second line under the Fund in the table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund’s actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.
Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only. Therefore, the second line under the Fund in the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds.

Hewitt Money Market Fund | | Beginning Account Value (1/1/10) | | Ending Account Value (6/30/10) | | Annualized Expense Ratio† | | | Expenses Paid During Period* (1/1/10 to 6/30/10) |
Actual | | $ | 1,000.00 | | $ | 1,000.10 | | 0.28 | % | | $ | 1.39 |
Hypothetical (5% return before expenses) | | | 1,000.00 | | | 1,023.40 | | 0.28 | | | | 1.40 |
† | This ratio includes the Fund’s share of expenses charged to the corresponding Master Portfolio into which the Fund invests. |
* | Expenses are calculated using the Fund’s annualized expense ratio (as disclosed in the table), multiplied by the average account value for the period, multiplied by the number of days in the period (181 days) and divided by the number of days in the year (365 days) to reflect the one-half year period. |

HEWITT SERIES TRUST
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)
1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Hewitt Money Market Fund (the “Fund”) is a diversified series of Hewitt Series Trust (the “Trust”), an open-end management investment company registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended. The Trust was established as a Delaware statutory trust organized pursuant to a Declaration of Trust on July 7, 1998.
Under the Fund’s organizational documents, the officers and trustees are indemnified against certain liabilities that may arise out of the performance of their duties to the Fund. Additionally, in the normal course of business, the Fund enters into contracts with service providers that contain general indemnification clauses. The Fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Fund that have not yet occurred. However, based on experience, the Fund expects the risk of loss to be remote.
The following significant accounting policies are consistently followed by the Trust in the preparation of its financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”). The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make certain estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Investment Policy and Security Valuation
The Fund’s investment in its Master Portfolio is valued pursuant to the pricing policy and procedures approved by the Board of Trustees of the Trust using a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value into three broad levels. Inputs may be based on independent market data (“observable inputs”) or they may be internally developed (“unobservable inputs”). 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). The three levels of the fair value hierarchy under Accounting Standards Codification 820 are as follows:
| • | | Level 1 – Inputs that reflect unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Fund has the ability to access at the measurement date; |
| • | | Level 2 – Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability either directly or indirectly, including quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, quoted prices or identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not considered to be active, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability, and inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data by correlation or other means; |
| • | | Level 3 – Inputs that are unobservable for the asset or liability. |
The Fund invests all of its assets in the Money Market Master Portfolio (the “Master Portfolio”) of Master Investment Portfolio (“MIP”). The Master Portfolio has the same or substantially similar investment objective as the Fund. The value of the Fund’s investment in the Master Portfolio reflects the Fund’s interest in the net assets of the Master Portfolio (2.75% of total Master Portfolio assets as of June 30, 2010).
The determination of what constitutes an “observable” input may require significant judgment by the Fund. As of June 30, 2010, the Fund’s investment in the Master Portfolio was classified as Level 2. The level of a value determined
6
HEWITT SERIES TRUST
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)—(continued)
for an investment within the fair value hierarchy is based upon the pricing transparency of the investment and does not necessarily correspond to the Fund’s perceived risk of its investment in the Master Portfolio, nor the level of the investments held within the Master Portfolio.
The Fund believes more relevant disclosure regarding fair value measurements relate to the investment portfolio of the Master Portfolio, which can be found in Note 1 of the Master Portfolio’s Notes to Financial Statements and are included elsewhere in this report.
The performance of the Fund is directly affected by the performance of the Master Portfolio. The financial statements of the Master Portfolio, including the Schedule of Investments, accompanied by an unaudited summarized tabular presentation, are included elsewhere in this report and should be read in conjunction with the Fund’s financial statements.
The Fund seeks to maintain a constant net asset value of $1.00 per share for each of the classes of shares. There is no assurance that the Fund will meet this objective.
Security Transactions and Income Recognition
The Fund records daily its proportionate interest in the net investment income and realized and unrealized gains and losses of the Master Portfolio.
Federal Income Taxes
The Fund is treated as a separate entity for federal income tax purposes. It is the policy of the Trust that the Fund continue to qualify as a regulated investment company by complying with the provisions under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, applicable to regulated investment companies, and to distribute substantially all of its investment company taxable income and any net realized gains (after taking into account any capital loss carryforwards) sufficient to relieve it from all, or substantially all, federal income and excise taxes. Accordingly, no provision for federal taxes was required at June 30, 2010.
As of December 31, 2009, the tax year-end of the Fund, the Fund had tax basis net capital loss carryforwards of $5,404 expiring in 2016. Such losses may be applied against any net realized taxable gains in the succeeding years or until the expiration date, whichever occurs first.
Management has reviewed the tax positions as of June 30, 2010, inclusive of the open tax return years, and has determined that no provision for income tax is required in the Fund’s financial statements.
Dividends and Distributions to Shareholders
Dividends to shareholders from net investment income of the Fund are declared daily and distributed monthly. Distributions to shareholders from capital gains, if any, are declared and distributed annually, generally in December.
Due to the timing of dividends and distributions and the differences in accounting for income and realized gains (losses) for financial statement and federal income tax purposes, the fiscal year in which amounts are distributed may differ from the year in which the income and realized gains (losses) were recorded by the Fund.

2. Agreements and Other Transactions with Affiliates
Hewitt Associates LLC (“Hewitt Associates”) provides administrative services to the Fund. The Fund pays Hewitt Associates a monthly fee calculated at an annual rate of 0.55% of the Fund’s average daily net assets for these services. Hewitt Associates has contractually agreed to waive its fees or absorb expenses of the Fund in an amount equal to the greater of (A) the amount by which the total ordinary operating expenses (excluding interest, brokerage commissions and extraordinary expenses) on an annual basis, exceed 0.95% of the average daily net assets of the Fund or (B) an amount sufficient to ensure that the seven day yield of the Fund does not fall below 0%. Hewitt Associates may not modify or terminate this waiver agreement without approval of the Board of Trustees of the Trust. For the six months ended June 30, 2010, Hewitt Associates reimbursed the Fund $1,305,686 for expenses related to this agreement.
Hewitt Associates and BlackRock Institutional Trust Company, N.A. (“BTC”) have entered into a sub-administration agreement, pursuant to which BTC provides services to the Fund and its shareholders, including maintenance of books and records; preparation of reports; and other administrative support services. For the services under this sub-administration agreement, Hewitt Associates pays BTC a fee equal to 0.03% of the average daily net assets of the Fund.
Hewitt Financial Services LLC (“HFS”), an affiliate of Hewitt Associates, serves as the Distributor of the Fund. HFS does not receive a fee from the Fund for its distribution services.
HFS also serves as the Shareholder Servicing Agent for the Fund. As Shareholder Servicing Agent, HFS is responsible for maintaining records showing the number of shares of the Fund owned by investors who have purchased shares through HFS. In addition, HFS sends all shareholder communications relating to the Fund to shareholders or arranges for these materials to be sent. For these services, the Fund pays HFS a monthly fee calculated at an annual rate of 0.25% of the Fund’s average daily net assets.
The Fund pursues its investment objectives by investing in the Master Portfolio, which is a series of MIP. The Master Portfolio has the same investment objectives and substantially the same investment policies as the Trust. BlackRock Fund Advisors (“BFA”) serves as the Master Portfolio’s investment adviser. As such, the Trust does not itself have an investment adviser.
3. Capital Share Transactions
As of June 30, 2010, there was an unlimited number of shares of $0.001 par value capital stock authorized by the Fund. Transactions in capital shares of the Fund were as follows:

| • | | Fair Value Measurements – Various inputs are used in determining the fair value of investments, which are as follows: |
| • | | Level 1 – price quotations in active markets/ exchanges for identical assets and liabilities. |
| • | | Level 2 – other observable inputs (including, but not limited to: quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in markets that are active, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the assets or liabilities (such as interest rates, yield curves, volatilities, prepayment speeds, loss severities, credit risks and default rates) or other market-corroborated inputs) |

MASTER INVESTMENT PORTFOLIO
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)
1. Organization and Significant Accounting Policies:
Master Investment Portfolio (“MIP”) is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), as an open-end management investment company. The financial statements and these accompanying notes relate only to the Money Market Master Portfolio (the “Master Portfolio”). The Master Portfolio’s financial statements are prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“US GAAP”), which may require management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by the Master Portfolio:
Valuation: The Master Portfolio’s securities are valued under the amortized cost method which approximates current market value in accordance with Rule 2a-7 of the 1940 Act. Under this method, securities are valued at cost when purchased and thereafter, a constant proportionate amortization of any discount or premium is recorded until the maturity of the security. The Master Portfolio seeks to maintain its net asset value per share at $1.00, although there is no assurance that it will be able to do so on a continuing basis.
Repurchase Agreements: The Master Portfolio may invest in repurchase agreements. In a repurchase agreement, the Master Portfolio purchases a security from a counterparty who agrees to repurchase the same security at a mutually agreed upon date and price. On a daily basis, the counterparty is required to maintain collateral subject to the agreement and in value no less than the agreed repurchase amount. The agreements are conditioned upon the collateral being deposited under the Federal Reserve book entry system or held in a segregated account by the Master Portfolio’s custodian or designated sub-custodians under tri-party repurchase agreements. In the event the counterparty defaults and the fair value of the collateral declines, the Master Portfolio could experience losses, delays and costs in liquidating the collateral.
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 security transactions are determined on the identified cost basis. Interest income, including amortization of premium and accretion of discount on debt securities, is recognized on the accrual basis.
Income Taxes: Money Market Master Portfolio is classified as a partnership for federal income tax purposes. As such, each investor in the Master Portfolio is treated as owner of its proportionate share of the net assets, income, expenses and realized and unrealized gains and losses of the Master Portfolio. Therefore, no federal income tax provision is required. It is intended that the Master Portfolio’s assets will be managed so an investor in the Master Portfolio can satisfy the requirements of Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended.
Money Market Master Portfolio files US federal and various state and local tax returns. No income tax returns are currently under examination. The statute of limitations on the Master Portfolio’s U.S. federal tax returns remains open for the four years ended December 31, 2009. The statutes of limitations on the Master Portfolio’s state and local tax returns may remain open for an additional year depending upon the jurisdiction. There are no uncertain tax positions that require recognition of a tax liability.
Other: Expenses directly related to the Master Portfolio are charged to the Master Portfolio.

2. Investment Advisory Agreement and Other Transactions with Affiliates:
The PNC Financial Services Group, Inc. (“PNC”), Bank of America Corporation (“BAC”) and Barclays Bank PLC (“Barclays”) are the largest stockholders of BlackRock, Inc. (“BlackRock”). Due to the ownership structure, PNC is an affiliate for 1940 Act purposes, but BAC and Barclays are not.
MIP entered into an investment advisory agreement with BlackRock Fund Advisors (the “Manager”), the Master Portfolio’s investment advisor, an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of BlackRock, to provide investment advisory services. The Manager is responsible for the management of the Master Portfolio’s portfolio and provides the necessary personnel, facilities, equipment and certain other services necessary to the operations of the Master Portfolio. For such services, the Fund pays the Manager a monthly fee at an annual rate of 0.10% of the average daily value of the Master Portfolio’s net assets. The Manager has contractually agreed to waive 0.03% of its advisory fees through April 30, 2012. After giving effect to such contractual arrangement, the advisory fee of 0.10% will be waived to 0.07%. For the six months ended June 30, 2010, the amount included in fees waived by advisor in the Statement of Operations is $2,800,711.
The fees and expenses of MIP’s trustees who are not “interested persons” of MIP, as defined in the 1940 Act (“Independent Trustees”), counsel to the Independent Trustees and the MIP’s independent registered public accounting firm (together, the “independent expenses”) are paid directly by the Master Portfolio. The Manager has contractually agreed to cap the expenses of the Master Portfolio at the rate at which the Master Portfolio pay an advisory fee to the Manager by waiving the investment advisory fees paid by the Master Portfolio in an amount equal to the independent expenses, through April 30, 2012, and are shown as fees waived by advisor in the Statement of Operations.
The Manager has voluntarily agreed to waive advisory fees to enable the Trust to maintain a minimum daily net investment income dividend. These amounts are reported in the Statement of Operations as fees waived by advisor. The Manager may discontinue the waiver at any time. For the period ended June 30, 2010, such waiver amounted to $145,463. These contractual waivers are effective through April 30, 2012.
MIP entered into administration services arrangement with BlackRock Institutional Trust Company, N.A. (“BTC”), which has agreed to provide general administration services. BTC is not entitled to compensation for providing administration services to the Master Portfolio, for so long as BTC is entitled to compensation for providing administration services to corresponding feeder funds that invest substantially all of their assets in the Master Portfolio, or BTC (or an affiliate) receives investment advisory fees from the Master Portfolio. BTC has agreed to bear all costs of the Master Portfolio’s and MIP’s operations, other than brokerage expenses, advisory fees, 12b-1 distribution or service fees, independent expenses, litigation expenses, taxes or other extraordinary expenses. BTC may delegate certain of its administration duties to sub-administrators.
Certain officers and/or trustees of MIP are officers and/or directors of BlackRock or its affiliates.
3. Concentration, Market and Credit Risk:
In the normal course of business, the Master Portfolio invests 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 of its obligations (issuer credit risk). The value of securities held by the Master Portfolio may decline in response to certain events, including those directly involving the issuers whose securities are owned by the Master Portfolio; conditions affecting the general economy; overall market changes; local, regional or global political, social or economic instability; and

currency and interest rate and price fluctuations. Similar to issuer credit risk, the Master Portfolio may be exposed to counterparty credit risk, or the risk that an entity with which the Master Portfolio has unsettled or open transactions may fail to or be unable to perform on its commitments. The Master Portfolio manages counterparty credit risk by entering into transactions only with counterparties that it believes have the financial resources to honor their obligations and by monitoring the financial stability of those counterparties. Financial assets, which potentially expose the Master Portfolio to market, issuer and counterparty credit risks, consist principally of financial instruments and receivables due from counterparties. The extent of the Master Portfolio’s exposure to market, issuer and counterparty credit risks with respect to these financial assets is generally approximated by their value recorded in the Master Portfolio’s Statement of Assets and Liabilities, less any collateral held by the Master Portfolio.
Certain affiliates indirectly invest in the Master Portfolio through the SL Agency Shares of BlackRock Cash Funds. As of June 30, 2010, these affiliated investors represent a significant portion of the net assets of the Master Portfolio.
4. Subsequent Event:
Management has evaluated the impact of all subsequent events on the Master Portfolio through the date the financial statements were issued and has determined that there were no subsequent events requiring adjustment or additional disclosure in the financial statements.
