About this time one year ago, risk assets (such as equities) began to rebound from a spring selloff as weakening global economic data spurred increasing optimism that the world’s largest central banks would intervene to stimulate growth. This theme, along with the European Central Bank’s (“ECB’s”) firm commitment to preserve the euro currency bloc, drove most asset classes higher through the summer of 2012. In early September, the ECB announced its sovereign bond-buying program designed to support the region’s debt-laden countries. Days later, the US Federal Reserve announced its own much-anticipated stimulus package.
Although financial markets worldwide were buoyed by these aggressive policy actions, risk assets weakened in the fall of 2012. Global trade slowed as many European countries fell into recession and growth continued to decelerate in China. In the United States, stocks slid on lackluster corporate earnings and volatility rose in advance of the US Presidential election. In the post-election environment, investors became more concerned about the “fiscal cliff” of tax increases and spending cuts that had been scheduled to take effect at the beginning of 2013. High levels of global market volatility persisted through year-end due to fears that bipartisan gridlock would preclude a timely resolution, putting the US economy at high risk for recession. As 2013 began, the worst of the fiscal cliff was averted with a last-minute tax deal, although decisions relating to spending cuts and the debt ceiling were postponed, leaving lingering uncertainty.
Investors shook off the nerve-wracking finale to 2012 and the New Year started with a powerful relief rally. Money that had been pulled to the sidelines amid year-end tax-rate uncertainty poured back into the markets in January. Key indicators signaling modest but broad-based improvements in the world’s major economies underpinned the rally. Underlying this aura of comfort was the absence of negative headlines out of Europe. As a result, global equities surged early in the year while rising US Treasury yields pressured high quality fixed income assets. (Bond prices move inversely with yields.)
However, February brought a slowdown in global economic momentum and investors toned down their risk appetite. In the months that followed, US equities outperformed international markets, as the US recovery showed greater stability versus most other regions. But the market’s ascent was uneven, with positive economic reports pushing US stock indices to all-time highs in March and disappointing data causing weakness in April. Also driving volatility was speculation and anxiety about how long the US Federal Reserve would continue its stimulus programs. On the whole, US stocks have performed quite well thus far in 2013 as the US economy demonstrated enough resilience to allay fears of recession, while growth has remained slow enough to dissuade the US Federal Reserve from changing its stance.
Volatility has been higher in financial markets outside the United States in 2013. International equities weakened in the middle of the first quarter when political instability in Italy and a severe banking crisis in Cyprus reminded investors that the eurozone was still vulnerable to a number of macro risks. More recently, non-US markets have been pressured by a poor outlook for European economies that are mired in recession, while China’s growth rate continued to disappoint. Emerging markets lagged the rest of the world as growth in these economies was particularly lackluster.
Despite continued headwinds for global growth, risk assets charged ahead for the reporting period, driven largely by investors seeking meaningful yields in the ongoing low-interest-rate environment. For the 12-month period ended May 31, 2013, global equity markets and high yield bonds posted strong gains. US Treasury yields remained low from a historical perspective, but were highly volatile, with a sharp rise in the final month of the period driven by concerns about central bank policy tightening. In fixed income markets, 10-year US Treasury bonds posted negative returns and investment-grade bonds generated only a slight gain. Tax-exempt municipal bonds, however, benefited from favorable supply-and-demand dynamics. Near-zero short term interest rates continued to keep yields on money market securities near their all-time lows.
Market conditions have improved over the past couple of years, but investors still remain highly uncertain and are continuing to seek out new strategies and new ways of investing. At BlackRock, we believe investors need to think globally and extend their scope across a broader array of asset classes within a portfolio that moves freely as market conditions change over time. We would encourage you to talk with your financial advisor and to visit www.blackrock.com for further insight about investing in today’s world.

Fund Summary as of May 31, 2013 | MFS Research International FDP Fund
|
Investment Objective
MFS Research International FDP Fund’s (the “Fund”) investment objective is to seek to provide shareholders with capital appreciation.
Portfolio Management Commentary
How did the Fund perform?
| • | For the 12-month period ended May 31, 2013, the Fund generated strong positive returns, although it underperformed its primary benchmark, the Morgan Stanley Capital International Europe, Australasia and Far East (“MSCI EAFE”) Index. For the same period, the Fund’s Institutional and Investor A Shares outperformed the secondary benchmark, the MSCI All Country World (excluding US) Index, while the Investor B and Investor C Shares underperformed the secondary benchmark. The following discussion of relative performance pertains to the MSCI EAFE Index. |
What factors influenced performance?
| • | The Fund underperformed the MSCI EAFE Index due to stock selection in financials and consumer discretionary, where an overweight position in export trading company Li & Fung Ltd. (Hong Kong) weakened relative performance. Across the industries, notable individual detractors included mining company Iluka Resources Ltd. (Australia), oil and gas exploration company Inpex Corp. (Japan), printers and computer peripherals manufacturer Canon, Inc. (Japan), mining operator Rio Tinto Plc (United Kingdom), mining equipment manufacturer Joy Global, Inc. (United States), medical diagnostics company Diagnosticos da America SA (Brazil) and food and beverage producer Danone SA (France). Not owning shares of the strong-performing pharmaceutical company Sanofi (France) also hindered results. Additionally, the Fund’s relative currency exposure, resulting primarily from differences between the benchmark index constituents and the Fund’s holdings of securities denominated in foreign currencies, detracted from performance for the period. Lastly, as the MSCI EAFE Index rose during the period, holding cash caused a drag on the Fund’s performance as compared to the benchmark index, which has no cash position. |
| • | Conversely, the Fund benefited from stock selection in the health care sector, where strong performance came from positions in health care products maker Bayer AG (Germany) and pharmaceutical and diagnostic company Roche Holding AG (Switzerland). Additionally, the timing of the Fund’s investment in pharmaceutical firm GlaxoSmithKline Plc (United Kingdom) benefited relative results as the Fund refrained from purchasing shares until the second half of the reporting period at which point the stock outpaced the benchmark index. Elsewhere in the Fund, notable individual contributors included several firms in the financials sector — Barclays Plc (United Kingdom), Erste Group Bank AG (Austria), ING Groep NV CVA (Netherlands) and global banking group BNP Paribas SA (France). Dutch brewing company Heineken NV and casino resorts operator Sands China Ltd. (Hong Kong) also boosted returns. The avoidance of poor-performing mining giant BHP Billiton (Australia) had a positive impact on relative results as well. |
Describe recent portfolio activity.
| • | In consumer discretionary, the Fund maintained an underweight to cyclical names in Europe, including the United Kingdom, given concerns about the macro environment across the region. Conversely, the Fund favored cyclical consumer stocks in Japan, where equities rallied in the first quarter of 2013. More recently, the Fund began trimming consumer discretionary positions in some of the better-performing Japanese stocks, while taking advantage of price weakness to add to positions in emerging markets. |
| • | In consumer staples, the Fund sought to benefit from growth in emerging markets via European stocks offering exposure to the faster-growing emerging markets at reasonable valuations. |
| • | In health care, the Fund increased exposure to the European pharmaceutical space with the addition of GlaxoSmithKline Plc, which offers a compelling product pipeline and a favorable capital allocation strategy for shareholders. The Fund continued to trim some of its Japanese health care holdings on the back of their strong performance. |
Describe portfolio positioning at period end.
| • | The Fund is a sector-neutral portfolio that emphasizes bottom-up fundamental analysis and therefore, regional and industry allocations are strictly a by-product of where Fund management finds the most attractive opportunities. Relative to the MSCI EAFE Index, the Fund ended the period underweight in the Asia-Pacific region, Europe and the United Kingdom, while overweight the emerging markets and Japan. |

Investment Objective
Marsico Growth FDP Fund’s (the “Fund”) investment objective is to seek to provide shareholders with long-term growth of capital.
Portfolio Management Commentary
How did the Fund perform?
| • | For the 12-month period ended May 31, 2013, the Fund generated strong positive returns, but underperformed its benchmark, the Standard & Poor’s (“S&P”) 500® Index. |
What factors influenced performance?
| • | The Fund underperformed its benchmark index due to stock selection in the consumer discretionary, financials and energy sectors. Within consumer discretionary, positions in leather goods retailer Coach, Inc., sportswear retailer NIKE, Inc., coffee purveyor Starbucks Corp. and discount store operator Dollar General Corp. negatively impacted results. The Fund sold its positions in Coach, Inc. and Dollar General Corp. during the period. In addition to stock selection, an underweight position in financials, the strongest-performing sector in the benchmark index during the period, hurt results. Notable positions that generated strong returns, but lagged the sector return in the benchmark index included bank names Wells Fargo & Co. and U.S. Bancorp (the latter of which was sold during the period) and wireless and broadcast communications infrastructure real estate investment trust American Tower Corp. In the energy sector, underperformance came from positions in oilfield services companies Halliburton Co. and National Oilwell Varco, Inc., which were sold before period end. On an individual security basis, the largest detractor from performance was infant formula manufacturer Mead Johnson Nutrition Co. (consumer staples), which was sold during the period. |
| • | The Fund’s cash balances temporarily exceeded 5% of net assets at various points during the fiscal year as the Fund was repositioned. The proceeds of sale activity were not immediately redeployed into other investments. For example, in the summer of 2012, cyclical positions were pared and cash was redeployed into defensive growth names as concerns mounted over the European sovereign debt crisis. Later in the year, cash positions were elevated as uncertainty over the renewal of the debt ceiling and the sequester impacted markets. Cash was opportunistically redeployed, which led to temporarily higher cash balances. As the S&P 500® Index rose during the period, holding cash detracted from the Fund’s performance as compared to the benchmark index, which has no cash position. |
| • | Conversely, the Fund benefited from stock selection in the health care sector, specifically within the pharmaceuticals, biotechnology & life sciences industry group. In particular, holdings in Biogen Idec, Inc., Gilead Sciences, Inc. and Bristol-Myers Squibb Co. delivered strong performance. Elsewhere in the Fund, the avoidance of utilities stocks proved beneficial as this sector generated the weakest performance for the period. Significant individual contributors included the Fund’s positions in credit card processor Visa, Inc. (information technology), home improvement retailer The Home Depot, Inc. (consumer discretionary) and agricultural materials company Monsanto Co. (materials). |
Describe recent portfolio activity.
| • | During the earlier part of the 12-month period, economic data pointed to a slowdown in global growth, while heightened uncertainty stemmed from the European sovereign debt crisis, the US presidential election and federal deficit issues. In this environment, the Fund reduced exposure to cyclical companies and added a defensive component via exposure to growth companies deemed to be self-funding and to have durable franchises, and to have exhibited consistent revenue streams. This resulted in a significant increase in the Fund’s health care holdings. Later in the period, as the global economy showed signs of improvement and policy uncertainty diminished, the Fund took positions in sectors expected to benefit from a slowly improving US economy, which resulted in increased exposure to financials. |
Describe portfolio positioning at period end.
| • | On an absolute basis, the Fund’s largest sector allocations at period end were consumer discretionary, information technology, industrials, health care and financials. Relative to the S&P 500® Index, the Fund was overweight in consumer discretionary and industrials and underweight in energy, consumer staples, financials and information technology. The Fund had no exposure to telecommunication services and utilities. |

Portfolio Management Commentary
How did the Fund perform?
| • | For the 12-month period ended May 31, 2013, the Fund outperformed its benchmark, the Russell 1000® Value Index. |
What factors influenced performance?
| • | Stock selection within financials was the largest contributor to relative performance, with a notable gain on the Fund’s position in Citigroup, Inc. Stock selection within consumer discretionary also enhanced results, with stand-out performance from holdings in News Corp. and Comcast Corp. With utilities being the worst-performing sector in the Russell 1000® Value Index for the period, the Fund’s material underweight position in this space proved beneficial. In materials, both stock selection and an underweight position to the sector had a positive impact on relative returns. International Paper Co. was the strongest individual contributor within materials. During the period, stock selection and an underweight position to consumer staples also contributed to the Fund’s performance, as did selection and underweight positions in telecommunication services (“telecom”) and energy. |
| • | Although the Fund remained fully invested during the period with minimal cash reserves, any allocation to cash detracts from performance relative to the benchmark index during a strong equity market. Weak stock selection within health care also had a negative impact on relative results, with UnitedHealth Group, Inc. being a notable individual detractor. Stock selection within information technology (“IT”) hindered performance as the Fund held a position in Microsoft Corp., which underperformed the IT sector and the benchmark index for the period. |
Describe recent portfolio activity.
| • | During the 12-month period, the Fund trimmed select holdings in IT services, insurance (financials), media (consumer discretionary) and consumer staples based on valuations. Toward the end of the reporting period, the Fund took advantage of price weakness to add to select holdings in IT equipment and energy. The Fund also initiated positions in food products and beverages (consumer staples), oil & gas exploration & production (energy) and consumer durables (consumer discretionary). |
Describe portfolio positioning at period end.
| • | Relative to the Russell 1000® Value Index, the Fund ended the period with an underweight position in financials, utilities, materials, consumer staples, telecom, energy and industrials. The Fund was overweight in consumer discretionary, IT and health care. It is important to note that the Fund’s sector allocations are the result of individual stock selection, and are not influenced by macro views. |
The views expressed reflect the opinions of the Fund’s sub-advisor as of the date of this report and are subject to change based on changes in market, economic or other conditions. These views are not intended to be a forecast of future events and are no guarantee of future results.

Portfolio Management Commentary
How did the Fund perform?
| • | For the 12-month period ended May 31, 2013, the Fund outperformed its benchmark, the Barclays US Aggregate Bond Index. |
What factors influenced performance?
| • | Economic data reported during the period supported the idea of sustainable, albeit slow, US growth. Volatility measures and US Treasury rates were generally low and declining during most of the period, but reversed course in the last month of the period due to speculation about the pace of future monetary policy action from the US Federal Reserve and, more specifically, the possible tapering of its asset purchase program. Risk assets continued to perform well despite May’s higher volatility and rising US Treasury rates. The Fund’s corporate bond positions contributed positively to performance. In particular, exposure to the below-investment grade credit sector and security selection in investment grade corporate securities drove returns. Many of the Fund’s non-US dollar-denominated bonds across the yield curve benefited from interest rate movements in non-US markets during the period. Foreign currency exposure had a positive impact as well. The Fund benefited from security selection in commercial mortgage-backed securities and positioning in non-agency residential mortgage-backed securities (“MBS”), which both performed well during the period. Security selection within agency fixed-rate MBS also had a positive impact. The Fund’s defensive duration posture (lower sensitivity to interest rate movements) enhanced results. |
| • | Relative to the benchmark index, the Fund’s exposure to taxable municipal securities detracted from returns as did an underweight position in agency debentures. |
Describe recent portfolio activity.
| • | During the 12-month period, the Fund slightly reduced exposure to the corporate loan sector, while slightly increasing exposure to investment grade and high yield corporate bonds. In the securitized space, the Fund decreased its allocations to asset-backed securities and US Treasury Inflation Protected Securities, and added to its non-agency residential MBS allocation given attractive valuations in that space. Additionally, the Fund selectively pared its global bond holdings over the period to improve overall portfolio risk diversification. |
| • | The Fund transacts in mortgage dollar rolls, which require future mortgage settlements. To meet forward liabilities, the Fund holds cash or invests in high-quality, liquid assets. The Fund’s allocation to cash and cash equivalents did not materially impact performance during the period. |
Describe portfolio positioning at period end.
| • | As of period end, the Fund sought opportunities in global fixed income markets, primarily local government debt and currencies, which continued to present attractive valuations. Within US fixed income markets, the Fund continued to hold exposure to corporate credit sectors, which are not part of the benchmark index, while management remains mindful that recent valuation levels warrant a cautious stance in individual security selection. Relative to the Barclays US Aggregate Bond Index, the Fund was overweight in investment grade corporate bonds and underweight in US Treasuries and agency MBS. The Fund also remained active in non-agency securitized markets, seeking to take advantage of individual securities with attractive risk/reward characteristics. |

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 dividends and capital gain 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. Dividends 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. In certain periods, the Funds’ investment advisor waived a portion of its fees. Without such waiver, the Funds’ performance would have been lower.

Shareholders of these Funds may incur the following charges: (a) transactional expenses, such as sales charges; and (b) operating expenses, including investment advisory fees, service and distribution fees, including 12b-1 fees, and other Fund expenses. The expense examples on the previous pages (which are based on a hypothetical investment of $1,000 invested on December 1, 2012 and held through May 31, 2013) 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 each 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 Funds may invest in various derivative financial instruments, including financial futures contracts, foreign currency exchange contracts, options and swaps, as specified in Note 2 of the Notes to Financial Statements, which may constitute forms of economic leverage. Such 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 hedge market, equity, credit, interest rate and/or foreign currency exchange rate risks. Derivative financial instruments 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 Funds’ ability to use a derivative financial instrument successfully depends on the investment advisor’s and/or sub-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 require a Fund to sell or purchase portfolio investments at inopportune times or for distressed values, may limit the amount of appreciation a Fund can realize on an investment, may result in lower dividends paid to shareholders or may cause a Fund to hold an investment that it might otherwise sell. The Funds’ investments in these instruments are discussed in detail in the Notes to Financial Statements.

• | | | | 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 as follows: |
| | • | | Level 1 — unadjusted price quotations in active markets/exchanges for identical assets or liabilities that the Fund 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 Fund’s own assumptions used in determining the fair value of investments and derivative financial instruments) |
| | | | The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements). Accordingly, the degree of judgment exercised in determining fair value is greatest for instruments categorized in Level 3. The inputs used to measure fair value may fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In such cases, for disclosure purposes, the fair value hierarchy classification is determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety. |
| | | | Changes in valuation techniques may result in transfers into or out of an assigned level within the disclosure hierarchy. In accordance with the Fund’s policy, transfers between different levels of the fair value disclosure hierarchy are deemed to have occurred as of the beginning of the reporting period. The categorization of a value determined for investments and derivative financial instruments is based on the pricing transparency of the investment and derivative financial instrument and is not necessarily an indication of the risks associated with investing in those securities. For information about the Fund’s policy regarding valuation of investments and derivative financial instruments, please refer to Note 1 of the Notes to Financial Statements. |

• | | | | For Fund compliance purposes, the Fund’s industry classifications refer to any one or more of the industry sub-classifications used by one or more widely recognized market indexes or rating group indexes, and/or as defined by Fund management. These definitions may not apply for purposes of this report, which may combine such industry sub-classifications for reporting ease. |

• | | | | Fair Value Measurements — Various inputs are used in determining the fair value of investments. These inputs to valuation techniques are categorized into a disclosure hierarchy consisting of three broad levels for financial statement purposes as follows: |
| • | | Level 1 — unadjusted price quotations in active markets/exchanges for identical assets or liabilities that the Fund 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 Fund’s own assumptions used in determining the fair value of investments and derivative financial instruments) |
| | | | The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements). Accordingly, the degree of judgment exercised in determining fair value is greatest for instruments categorized in Level 3. The inputs used to measure fair value may fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In such cases, for disclosure purposes, the fair value hierarchy classification is determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety. |
| | | | Changes in valuation techniques may result in transfers into or out of an assigned level within the disclosure hierarchy. In accordance with the Fund’s policy, transfers between different levels of the fair value disclosure hierarchy are deemed to have occurred as of the beginning of the reporting period. The categorization of a value determined for investments and derivative financial instruments is based on the pricing transparency of the investment and derivative financial instrument and is not necessarily an indication of the risks associated with investing in those securities. For information about the Fund’s policy regarding valuation of investments and derivative financial instruments, please refer to the Note 1 of the Notes to Financial Statements. |

• | | | | 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 as follows: |
| • | | Level 1 — unadjusted price quotations in active markets/exchanges for identical assets or liabilities that the Fund 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 Fund’s own assumptions used in determining the fair value of investments and derivative financial instruments) |
The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements). Accordingly, the degree of judgment exercised in determining fair value is greatest for instruments categorized in Level 3. The inputs used to measure fair value may fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In such cases, for disclosure purposes, the fair value hierarchy classification is determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety.
Changes in valuation techniques may result in transfers into or out of an assigned level within the disclosure hierarchy. In accordance with the Fund’s policy, transfers between different levels of the fair value disclosure hierarchy are deemed to have occurred as of the beginning of the reporting period. The categorization of a value determined for investments and derivative financial instruments is based on the pricing transparency of the investment and derivative financial instrument and is not necessarily an indication of the risks associated with investing in those securities. For information about the Fund’s policy regarding valuation of investments and derivative financial instruments, please refer to Note 1 of the Notes to Financial Statements.

| 1 | Using S&P’s rating of the issuer or the underlying securities of the index, as applicable. |
| 2 | The maximum potential amount the Fund may pay should a negative credit event take place as defined under the terms of the agreement. |
• | | | | For Fund compliance purposes, the Fund’s industry classifications refer to any one or more of the industry sub-classifications used by one or more widely recognized market indexes or rating group indexes, and/or as defined by Fund management. These definitions may not apply for purposes of this report, which may combine such industry sub-classifications for reporting ease. |
• | | | | 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 as follows: |
• | | | | Level 1 — unadjusted price quotations in active markets/exchanges for identical assets or liabilities that the Fund 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 Fund’s own assumptions used in determining the fair value of investments and derivative financial instruments) |
| | | | The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements). Accordingly, the degree of judgment exercised in determining fair value is greatest for instruments categorized in Level 3. The inputs used to measure fair value may fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In such cases, for disclosure purposes, the fair value hierarchy classification is determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety. |
| | | | |
| | | | Changes in valuation techniques may result in transfers into or out of an assigned level within the disclosure hierarchy. In accordance with the Fund’s policy, transfers between different levels of the fair value disclosure hierarchy are deemed to have occurred as of the beginning of the reporting period. The categorization of a value determined for investments and derivative financial instruments is based on the pricing transparency of the investment and derivative financial instrument and is not necessarily an indication of the risks associated with investing in those securities. For information about the Fund’s policy regarding valuation of investments and derivative financial instruments, please refer to Note 1 of the Notes to Financial Statements. |

1. Organization and Significant Accounting Policies:
MFS Research International FDP Fund (“MFS Fund”), Marsico Growth FDP fund (“Marsico Fund”), Invesco Value FDP Fund, (“Invesco Fund”) and Franklin Templeton Total Return FDP Fund (“Franklin Templeton Fund”) (each a “Fund,” collectively, the “Funds”) are each a series of FDP Series, Inc. (the “Corporation”). The Corporation is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”). Each Fund is registered as a diversified, open-end management investment company. The Corporation is organized as a Maryland corporation. The Funds’ 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 of assets and liabilities in the financial statements and the reported amounts of increases and decreases in net assets from operations during the reported period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Each Fund offers multiple classes of shares. Institutional Shares are sold without a sales charge and only to certain eligible investors. Investor A Shares are generally sold with a front-end sales charge. Investor B and Investor C Shares may be subject to a CDSC. All classes of shares have identical voting, dividend, liquidation and other rights and the same terms and conditions, except that Investor A, Investor B and Investor C Shares bear certain expenses related to the shareholder servicing of such shares, and Investor B and Investor C Shares also bear certain expenses related to the distribution of such shares. On February 12, 2013, the Board of Directors of the Corporation (the “Board”) approved the conversion of all issued and outstanding Investor B Shares into Investor A Shares, which will be effective on or about the close of business on June 10, 2013. Investor B Shares are only available through exchanges and dividend reinvestments by existing shareholders and for purchase by certain employer-sponsored retirement plans. Each class has exclusive voting rights with respect to matters relating to its shareholder servicing and distribution expenditures (except that Investor B shareholders may vote on material changes to the Investor A distribution and service plan).
The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by the Funds:
Valuation: US 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. 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.
The Funds value their bond investments on the basis of last available bid prices or current market quotations provided by dealers or pricing services. Floating rate loan interests are valued at the mean of the bid prices from one or more brokers or dealers as obtained from a pricing service. In determining the value of a particular investment, pricing services may use certain information with respect to transactions in such investments, quotations from dealers, pricing matrixes, market transactions in comparable investments, various relationships observed in the market between investments and calculated yield measures. Asset-backed and mortgage-backed securities are valued by independent pricing services using models that consider estimated cash flows of each tranche of the security, establish a benchmark yield and develop an estimated tranche specific spread to the benchmark yield based on the unique attributes of the tranche. Financial futures contracts traded on exchanges are valued at their last sale price. To-be-announced (“TBA”) commitments are valued on the basis of last available bid prices or current market quotations provided by pricing services. Swap agreements are valued utilizing quotes received daily by the Funds’ pricing service or through brokers, which are derived using daily swap curves and models that incorporate a number of market data factors, such as discounted cash flows, trades and values of the underlying reference instruments. Short-term securities with remaining maturities of 60 days or less may be valued at amortized cost, which approximates fair value.
Municipal investments (including commitments to purchase such investments on a “when-issued” basis) are valued on the basis of prices provided by dealers or pricing services. In determining the value of a particular investment, pricing services may use certain information with respect to transactions in such investments, quotations from dealers, pricing matrixes, market transactions in comparable investments and information with respect to various relationships between investments.
Equity investments traded on a recognized securities exchange or the NASDAQ Global Market System (“NASDAQ”) are valued at the last reported sale price that day or the NASDAQ official closing price, if applicable. For equity investments traded on more than one exchange, the last reported sale price on the exchange where the stock is primarily traded is used. Equity investments traded on a recognized exchange for which there were no sales on that day are valued at the last available bid (long positions) or ask (short positions) price. If no bid or ask price is available, the prior day’s price will be used, unless it is determined that such prior day’s price no longer reflects the fair value of the security.
Securities and other assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into US dollars using exchange rates determined as of the close of business on the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”). Foreign currency exchange contracts are valued at the mean between the bid and ask prices and are determined as of the close of business on the NYSE. Interpolated values are derived when the settlement date of the contract is an interim date for which quotations are not available.
In the event that application of these methods of valuation results in a price for an investment 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 Assets”). When determining the price for Fair Value Assets, the Global Valuation Committee, or its delegate, seeks to determine the price that each Fund might reasonably expect to receive from the current sale of that asset in an arm’s-length transaction. Fair value determinations shall be based upon all available factors that the Global Valuation Committee, or its delegate, deem 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 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 each Fund’s pricing vendors, a regular review 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 Assets 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 Fund’s net assets. If events (for example, a company announcement, market volatility or a natural disaster) occur during such periods that are expected to affect the value of such instruments materially, those instruments may be Fair Value Assets and 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 Funds use a pricing service to assist with the valuation of certain foreign exchange-traded equity securities and foreign exchange-traded and Over-the-counter (“OTC”) options (the “Systematic Fair Value Price”). Using current market factors, the Systematic Fair Value Price is designed to value such foreign securities and foreign options at fair value as of the close of business on the NYSE, which follows the close of the local markets.
Foreign Currency: The Funds’ books and records are maintained in US dollars. Purchases and sales of investment securities are recorded at the rates of exchange prevailing on the respective date of such transactions. Generally, when the US dollar rises in value against a foreign currency, the Funds’ investments denominated in that currency will lose value because that currency is worth fewer US dollars; the opposite effect occurs if the US dollar falls in relative value.
The Funds do 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 Funds report realized currency gains (losses) on foreign currency related transactions as components of net realized gain (loss) for financial reporting purposes, whereas such components are treated as ordinary income for federal income tax purposes.
Asset-Backed and Mortgage-Backed Securities: Franklin Templeton Fund may invest in asset-backed securities. Asset-backed securities are generally issued as pass-through certificates, which represent undivided fractional ownership interests in an underlying pool of assets, or as debt instruments, which are also known as collateralized obligations, and are generally issued as the debt of a special purpose entity organized solely for the purpose of owning such assets and issuing such debt. Asset-backed securities are often backed by a pool of assets representing the obligations of a number of different parties. The yield characteristics of certain asset-backed securities may differ from traditional debt securities. One such major difference is that all or a principal part of the obligations may be prepaid at any time because the underlying assets (i.e., loans) may be prepaid at any time. As a result, a decrease in interest rates in the market may result in increases in the level of prepayments as borrowers, particularly mortgagors, refinance and repay their loans. An increased prepayment rate with respect to an asset-backed security subject to such a prepayment feature will have the effect of shortening the maturity of the security. In addition, the Fund may have to subsequently reinvest the proceeds at lower interest rates. If the Fund has purchased such an asset-backed security at a premium, a faster than anticipated prepayment rate could result in a loss of principal to the extent of the premium paid.
Franklin Templeton Fund may purchase certain mortgage pass-through securities. There are a number of important differences among the agencies and instrumentalities of the US government that issue mortgage-related securities and among the securities that they issue. For example, mortgage-related securities guaranteed by Ginnie Mae are guaranteed as to the timely payment of principal and interest by Ginnie Mae and such guarantee is backed by the full faith and credit of the United States. However, mortgage-related securities issued by Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae, including Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae guaranteed mortgage pass-through certificates, which are solely the obligations of Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae, are not backed by or entitled to the full faith and credit of the United States but are supported by the right of the issuer to borrow from the Treasury.
Inflation-Indexed Bonds: Franklin Templeton Fund may invest in inflation-indexed bonds. Inflation-indexed bonds are fixed income securities whose principal value is periodically adjusted according to the rate of inflation. If the index measuring inflation rises or falls, the principal value of inflation-indexed bonds will be adjusted upward or downward, and consequently the interest payable on these securities (calculated with respect to a larger or smaller principal amount) will be increased or reduced, respectively. Any upward or downward adjustment in the principal amount of an inflation-indexed bond will be included as interest income in the Statements of Operations, even though investors do not receive their

|
| |
Notes to Financial Statements (continued) |
|
principal until maturity. Repayment of the original bond principal upon maturity (as adjusted for inflation) is guaranteed in the case of US Treasury inflation-indexed bonds. For bonds that do not provide a similar guarantee, the adjusted principal value of the bond repaid at maturity may be less than the original principal.
Multiple Class Pass-Through Securities: Franklin Templeton Fund may invest in multiple class pass-through securities, including collateralized mortgage obligations (“CMOs”) and commercial mortgage-backed securities. These multiple class securities may be issued by Ginnie Mae, US government agencies or instrumentalities or by trusts formed by private originators of, or investors in, mortgage loans. In general, CMOs are debt obligations of a legal entity that are collateralized by, and multiple class pass-through securities represent direct ownership interests in, a pool of residential or commercial mortgage loans or mortgage pass-through securities (the “Mortgage Assets”), the payments on which are used to make payments on the CMOs or multiple pass-through securities. Classes of CMOs include interest only (“IOs”), principal only (“POs”), planned amortization classes and targeted amortization classes. IOs and POs are stripped mortgage-backed securities representing interests in a pool of mortgages, the cash flow from which has been separated into interest and principal components. IOs receive the interest portion of the cash flow while POs receive the principal portion. IOs and POs can be extremely volatile in response to changes in interest rates. As interest rates rise and fall, the value of IOs tends to move in the same direction as interest rates. POs perform best when prepayments on the underlying mortgages rise since this increases the rate at which the principal is returned and the yield to maturity on the PO. When payments on mortgages underlying a PO are slower than anticipated, the life of the PO is lengthened and the yield to maturity is reduced. If the underlying Mortgage Assets experience greater than anticipated pre-payments of principal, the Fund may not fully recoup its initial investment in IOs.
Zero-Coupon Bonds: Franklin Templeton Fund may invest in zero-coupon bonds, which are normally issued at a significant discount from face value and do not provide for periodic interest payments. Zero-coupon bonds may experience greater volatility in market value than similar maturity debt obligations which provide for regular interest payments.
Capital Trusts: Franklin Templeton Fund may invest in capital trusts. These securities are typically issued by corporations, generally in the form of interest-bearing notes with preferred securities characteristics, or by an affiliated business trust of a corporation, generally in the form of beneficial interests in subordinated debentures or similarly structured securities. The securities can be structured as either fixed or adjustable coupon securities that can have either a perpetual or stated maturity date. Dividends can be deferred without creating an event of default or acceleration, although maturity cannot take place unless all cumulative payment obligations have been met. The deferral of payments does not affect the purchase or sale of these securities in the open market. Payments on these securities are treated as interest rather than dividends for federal income tax purposes. These securities generally are rated below that of the issuing company’s senior debt securities.
Preferred Stock: Certain Funds 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.
Floating Rate Loan Interests: Franklin Templeton Fund may invest in floating rate loan interests. The floating rate loan interests the Fund holds are typically issued to companies (the “borrower”) by banks, other financial institutions, and privately and publicly offered corporations (the “lender”). Floating rate loan interests are generally non-investment grade, often involve borrowers whose financial condition is troubled or uncertain and companies that are highly leveraged. The Fund may invest in obligations of borrowers who are in bankruptcy proceedings. Floating rate loan interests may include fully funded term loans or revolving lines of credit. Floating rate loan interests are typically senior in the corporate capital structure of the borrower. Floating rate loan interests generally pay interest at rates that are periodically determined by reference to a base lending rate plus a premium. The base lending rates are generally the lending rate offered by one or more European banks, such as the London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”), the prime rate offered by one or more US banks or the certificate of deposit rate. Floating rate loan interests may involve foreign borrowers, and investments may be denominated in foreign currencies. The Fund considers these investments to be investments in debt securities for purposes of its investment policies.
When the Fund purchases a floating rate loan interest it may receive a facility fee and when it sells a floating rate loan interest it may pay a facility fee. On an ongoing basis, the Fund may receive a commitment fee based on the undrawn portion of the underlying line of credit amount of a floating rate loan interest. Facility and commitment fees are typically amortized to income over the term of the loan or term of the commitment, respectively. Consent and amendment fees are recorded to income as earned. Prepayment penalty fees, which may be received by the Fund upon the prepayment of a floating rate loan interest by a borrower, are recorded as realized gains. The Fund may invest in multiple series or tranches of a loan. A different series or tranche may have varying terms and carry different associated risks.
Floating rate loan interests are usually freely callable at the borrower’s option. The Fund may invest in such loans in the form of participations in loans (“Participations”) or assignments (“Assignments”) of all or a portion of loans from third parties. Participations typically will result in the Fund having a contractual relationship only with the lender, not with the

|
| |
Notes to Financial Statements (continued) |
|
borrower. The Fund will have the right to receive payments of principal, interest and any fees to which it is entitled only from the lender selling the Participation and only upon receipt by the lender of the payments from the borrower. In connection with purchasing Participations, the Fund generally will have no right to enforce compliance by the borrower with the terms of the loan agreement, nor any rights of offset against the borrower, and the Fund may not benefit directly from any collateral supporting the loan in which it has purchased the Participation. As a result, the Fund will assume the credit risk of both the borrower and the lender that is selling the Participation. The Fund’s investment in loan participation interests involves the risk of insolvency of the financial intermediaries who are parties to the transactions. In the event of the insolvency of the lender selling the Participation, the Fund may be treated as a general creditor of the lender and may not benefit from any offset between the lender and the borrower. Assignments typically result in the Fund having a direct contractual relationship with the borrower, and the Fund may enforce compliance by the borrower with the terms of the loan agreement.
TBA Commitments: Franklin Templeton Fund may enter into TBA commitments. TBA commitments are forward agreements for the purchase or sale of mortgage-backed securities for a fixed price, with payment and delivery on an agreed upon future settlement date. The specific securities to be delivered are not identified at the trade date. However, delivered securities must meet specified terms, including issuer, rate and mortgage terms. The Fund generally enters into TBA commitments with the intent to take possession of or deliver the underlying mortgage-backed securities but can extend the settlement or roll the transaction. TBA commitments involve a risk of loss if the value of the security to be purchased or sold declines or increases, respectively, prior to settlement date.
Mortgage Dollar Roll Transactions: Franklin Templeton Fund may sell TBA mortgage-backed securities and simultaneously contract to repurchase substantially similar (same type, coupon and maturity) securities on a specific future date at an agreed upon price. During the period between the sale and repurchase, the Fund will not be entitled to receive interest and principal payments on the securities sold. The Fund accounts for mortgage dollar roll transactions as purchases and sales and realizes gains and losses on these transactions. These transactions may increase the Fund’s portfolio turnover rate. Mortgage dollar rolls involve the risk that the market value of the securities that the Fund is required to purchase may decline below the agreed upon repurchase price of those securities.
Segregation and Collateralization: In cases in which the 1940 Act and the interpretive positions of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) require that each Fund either deliver collateral or segregate assets in connection with certain investments (e.g., dollar rolls, TBA sale commitments, financial futures contracts, foreign currency exchange contracts), each Fund will, consistent with SEC rules and/or certain interpretive letters issued by the SEC, segregate collateral or designate on its books and records cash or liquid securities having a market value at least equal to the amount that would otherwise be required to be physically segregated. Furthermore, based on requirements and agreements with certain exchanges and third party broker-dealers, a Fund engaging in such transactions may have requirements to deliver/deposit securities to/with an exchange or broker-dealer as collateral for certain investments. Typically, the Funds are permitted to sell, re-pledge or use collateral received from the counterparty, but counterparties typically are not permitted to sell, re-pledge or use the collateral they receive.
Investment Transactions and Investment Income: For financial reporting purposes, investment transactions are recorded on the dates the transactions are entered into (the trade dates). Realized gains and losses on investment transactions are determined on the identified cost basis. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend dates. Dividends from foreign securities where the ex-dividend date may have passed are subsequently recorded when the Fund 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. Interest income, including amortization and accretion of premiums and discounts on debt securities, is recognized on the accrual basis. Income and realized and unrealized gains and losses are allocated daily to each class based on its relative net assets.
Dividends and Distributions: For MFS Fund, Marsico Fund and Invesco Fund, dividends and distributions paid by the Funds are recorded on the ex-dividend dates. For Franklin Templeton Fund, dividends from net investment income are declared daily and paid monthly. Distributions of capital gains are recorded on the ex-dividend dates. The portion of distributions that exceeds a Fund’s current and accumulated earnings and profits, which are measured on a tax basis, will constitute a nontaxable return of capital. Distributions in excess of a Fund’s taxable income and net capital gains, but not in excess of a Fund’s earnings and profits, will be taxable to shareholders as ordinary income and will not constitute a nontaxable return of capital. Capital losses carried forward from years beginning before 2011 do not reduce earnings and profits, even if such carried forward losses offset current year realized gains. The character and timing of dividends and distributions are determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations, which may differ from US GAAP.
Income Taxes: It is the 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.
Each Fund files US federal and various state and local tax returns. No income tax returns are currently under examination. The statute of limitations on the Funds’ US federal tax returns remains open for each of the four years ended May 31, 2013. The statutes of limitations on each Fund’s state and local tax returns may remain open for an additional year depending upon the jurisdiction. Management does not believe there are any uncertain tax positions that require recognition of a tax liability.
Recent Accounting Standards: In December 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the “FASB”) issued guidance that will expand current disclosure requirements on the offsetting of certain assets and liabilities. The new disclosures will be required for investments and
54 | FDP SERIES, INC. | MAY 31, 2013
|
| |
Notes to Financial Statements (continued) |
|
derivative financial instruments subject to master netting or similar agreements, which are eligible for offset in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities and will require an entity to disclose both gross and net information about such investments and transactions in the financial statements. In January 2013, the FASB issued guidance that clarifies which investments and transactions are subject to the offsetting disclosure requirements. The scope of the disclosure requirements for offsetting will be limited to derivative instruments, repurchase agreements and reverse repurchase agreements, and securities borrowing and securities lending transactions. The guidance is effective for financial statements with fiscal years beginning on or after January 1, 2013, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Management is evaluating the impact, if any, of this guidance on the Funds’ financial statement disclosures.
Other: Expenses directly related to a Fund or its classes are charged to that Fund or class. Other operating expenses shared by several funds are pro rated among those funds on the basis of relative net assets or other appropriate methods. Expenses directly related to the Funds and other shared expenses pro rated to the Funds are allocated daily to each class based on its relative net assets or other appropriate methods.
The Funds have an arrangement with the custodian whereby fees may be reduced by credits earned on uninvested cash balances, which, if applicable, are shown as fees paid indirectly in the 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.
2. Derivative Financial Instruments:
The Funds engage in various portfolio investment strategies using derivative contracts both to increase the returns of the Funds and/or to economically hedge their exposure to certain risks such as credit risk, equity risk, interest rate risk, foreign currency exchange rate risk or other risk (inflation risk). These contracts may be transacted on an exchange or OTC.
Financial Futures Contracts: The Funds purchase and/or sell 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 Funds and counterparty to buy or sell a specific quantity of an underlying instrument at a specified price and at a specified date. Depending on the terms of the particular contract, 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 Funds 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 is recorded on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities as cash pledged for financial futures contracts. Pursuant to the contract, the Funds 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 and are recorded by the Funds as unrealized appreciation or depreciation. When the contract is closed, the Funds 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.
Foreign Currency Exchange Contracts: The Funds enter into foreign currency exchange contracts as an economic hedge against either specific transactions or portfolio instruments or to obtain exposure to or hedge exposure away from foreign currencies (foreign currency exchange rate risk). A foreign currency exchange contract is an agreement between two parties to buy and sell a currency at a set exchange rate on a future date. Foreign currency exchange contracts, when used by the Funds, help to manage the overall exposure to the currencies in which some of the investments held by the Funds are denominated. The contract is marked-to-market daily and the change in market value is recorded by the Funds as an unrealized gain or loss. When the contract is closed, the Funds record a realized gain or loss equal to the difference between the value at the time it was opened and the value at the time it was closed. The use of foreign currency exchange contracts involves the risk that the value of a foreign currency exchange contract changes unfavorably due to movements in the value of the referenced foreign currencies.
Options: Certain Funds purchase and write call and put options to increase or decrease their exposure to underlying instruments (including equity risk, interest rate risk and/or commodity price risk) and/or, in the case of options written, to generate gains from options premiums. A call option gives the purchaser (holder) of the option the right (but not the obligation) to buy, and obligates the seller (writer) to sell (when the option is exercised), the underlying instrument at the exercise or strike price at any time or at a specified time during the option period. A put option gives the holder the right to sell and obligates the writer to buy the underlying instrument at the exercise or strike price at any time or at a specified time during the option period. When the Funds purchase (write) an option, an amount equal to the premium paid (received) by the Funds is reflected as an asset (liability). The amount of the asset (liability) is subsequently marked-to-market to reflect the current market value of the option purchased (written). When an instrument is purchased or sold through an exercise of an option, the related premium paid (or received) is added to (or deducted from) the basis of the instrument acquired or deducted from (or added to) the proceeds of the instrument sold. When an option expires (or the Funds enter into a closing transaction), the Funds realize a gain or loss on the option to the extent of the premiums received or paid (or gain or loss to the extent the cost of the closing transaction exceeds the premiums received or paid). When the Funds write a call option, such option is “covered,” meaning that the Funds hold the underlying instrument subject to being called by the option counterparty. When the Funds write a put option, such option is covered by cash in an amount sufficient to cover the obligation.
FDP SERIES, INC. | MAY 31, 2013 | 55
|

Notes to Financial Statements (continued) |
|
Options on swaps (swaptions) are similar to options on securities except that instead of selling or purchasing the right to buy or sell a security, the writer or purchaser of the swap option is granting or buying the right to enter into a previously agreed upon interest rate or credit default swap agreement (interest rate risk and/or credit risk) at any time before the expiration of the option.
Certain Funds also purchase or sell listed or OTC foreign currency options, foreign currency futures and related options on foreign currency futures as a short or long hedge against possible variations in foreign exchange rates or to gain exposure to foreign currencies (foreign currency exchange rate risk). When foreign currency is purchased or sold through an exercise of a foreign currency option, the related premium paid (or received) is added to (or deducted from) the basis of the foreign currency acquired or deducted from (or added to) the proceeds of the foreign currency sold (receipts from the foreign currency purchased). Such transactions may be effected with respect to hedges on non-US dollar denominated instruments owned by the Funds but not yet delivered, or committed or anticipated to be purchased by the Funds.
In purchasing and writing options, the Funds bear the risk of an unfavorable change in the value of the underlying instrument or the risk that the Funds may not be able to enter into a closing transaction due to an illiquid market. Exercise of a written option could result in the Funds purchasing or selling a security when it otherwise would not, or at a price different from the current market value.
Swaps: Certain Funds enter into swap agreements, in which the Funds and a counterparty agree either to make periodic net payments on a specified notional amount or a net payment upon termination. Swap agreements are privately negotiated in the OTC market and may be entered into as a bilateral contract (“OTC swaps”) or centrally cleared (“centrally cleared swaps”). Swaps are marked-to-market daily and changes in value are recorded as unrealized appreciation (depreciation).
For OTC swaps, any upfront premiums paid are recorded as assets and any upfront fees received are recorded as liabilities and are shown as swap premiums paid and swap premiums received, respectively, in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities and amortized over the term of the OTC swap. Payments received or made by the Funds for OTC swaps are recorded in the Statements of Operations as realized gains or losses, respectively. When an OTC swap is terminated, the Funds will record a realized gain or loss equal to the difference between the proceeds from (or cost of) the closing transaction and the Funds’ basis in the contract, if any. Generally, the basis of the contracts is the premium received or paid.
In a centrally cleared swap, immediately following execution of the swap agreement, the swap agreement is novated to a central counterparty (the “CCP”) and the Funds face the CCP through a broker. Upon entering into a centrally cleared swap, the Funds are required to deposit initial margin with the broker in the form of cash or securities in an amount that varies depending on the size and risk profile of the particular swap. Securities deposited as initial margin are designated on the Schedules of Investments and cash deposited is recorded on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities as cash pledged for centrally cleared swaps. The daily change in valuation of centrally cleared swaps, is recorded as a receivable or payable for variation margin in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities until the centrally cleared swap is terminated at which time a realized gain or loss is recorded.
Swap transactions involve, to varying degrees, elements of interest rate, credit and market risk in excess of the amounts recognized in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities. Such risks involve the possibility that there will be no liquid market for these agreements, that the counterparty to the agreements may default on its obligation to perform or disagree as to the meaning of the contractual terms in the agreements, and that there may be unfavorable changes in interest rates and/or market values associated with these transactions.
• | | Credit default swaps — The Funds enter into credit default swaps to manage their exposure to the market or certain sectors of the market, to reduce their risk exposure to defaults of corporate and/or sovereign issuers or to create exposure to corporate and/or sovereign issuers to which they are not otherwise exposed (credit risk). The Funds may either buy or sell (write) credit default swaps on single-name issuers (corporate or sovereign), a combination or basket of single-name issuers or traded indexes. Credit default swaps on single-name issuers are agreements in which the protection buyer pays fixed periodic payments to the seller in consideration for a guarantee from the protection seller to make a specific payment should a negative credit event take place with respect to the referenced entity (e.g., bankruptcy, failure to pay, obligation accelerators, repudiation, moratorium or restructuring). Credit default swaps on traded indexes are agreements in which the buyer pays fixed periodic payments to the seller in consideration for a guarantee from the seller to make a specific payment should a write-down, principal or interest shortfall or default of all or individual underlying securities included in the index occurs. As a buyer, if an underlying credit event occurs, the Funds will either (i) receive from the seller an amount equal to the notional amount of the swap and deliver the referenced security or underlying securities comprising the index, or (ii) receive a net settlement of cash equal to the notional amount of the swap less the recovery value of the security or underlying securities comprising the index. As a seller (writer), if an underlying credit event occurs, the Funds will either pay the buyer an amount equal to the notional amount of the swap and take delivery of the referenced security or underlying securities comprising the index or pay a net settlement of cash equal to the notional amount of the swap less the recovery value of the security or underlying securities comprising the index. |

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.
A Fund’s risk of loss from counterparty credit risk on OTC derivatives is generally limited to the aggregate unrealized gain netted against any collateral held by such Fund. For OTC options purchased, each Fund bears the risk of loss of the amount of the premiums paid plus the positive change in market values net of any collateral held by such Fund should the counterparty fail to perform under the contracts. Options written by the Funds do not typically give rise to counterparty credit risk, as options written generally obligate the Funds, and not the counterparty to perform.
With exchange traded purchased options and futures and centrally cleared swaps, there is less counterparty credit risk to the Funds 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, the credit risk is limited to failure of the clearinghouse. However, credit risk still exists in exchange traded futures and centrally cleared swaps 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, US bankruptcy laws will typically allocate that shortfall on a pro rata basis across all the clearing broker’s customers, potentially resulting in losses to the Funds.
In order to better define its contractual rights and to secure rights that will help the Funds mitigate their counterparty risk, the Funds may enter into an International Swaps and Derivatives Association, Inc. Master Agreement (“ISDA Master Agreement”) or similar agreement with its derivative contract counterparties. An ISDA Master Agreement is a bilateral agreement between each Fund and a counterparty that governs OTC derivatives and foreign exchange contracts and typically contains, among other things, collateral posting terms and netting provisions in the event of a default and/or termination event. Under an ISDA Master Agreement, each Fund may, under certain circumstances, offset with the counterparty certain derivative financial instruments’ payables and/or receivables with collateral held and/or posted and create one single net payment. The provisions of the ISDA Master Agreement typically permit a single net payment in the event of default (close-out netting) including the bankruptcy or insolvency of the counterparty. However, bankruptcy or insolvency laws of a particular jurisdiction may impose restrictions on or prohibitions against the right of offset in bankruptcy, insolvency or other events. In addition, certain ISDA Master Agreements allow counterparties to OTC derivatives to terminate derivative contracts prior to maturity in the event the Funds’ net assets decline by a stated percentage or the Funds fail to meet the terms of their ISDA Master Agreements, which would cause the Funds to accelerate payment of any net liability owed to the counterparty.
Collateral Requirements: Collateral requirements differ by type of derivative. Collateral terms are contract specific for OTC derivatives (foreign currency exchange contracts, options and swaps).
For derivatives traded under an ISDA Master Agreement, the collateral requirements are typically calculated by netting the mark to market amount for each transaction under such agreement and comparing that amount to the value of any collateral currently pledged by the Funds and the counterparty.
Cash collateral that has been pledged to cover obligations of the Funds and cash collateral received from the counterparty, if any, is reported separately on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities as cash pledged as collateral and cash received as collateral, respectively. Non-cash collateral pledged by the Funds, if any, is noted in the Schedules of Investments. Generally, the amount of collateral due from or to a party has to exceed a minimum transfer amount threshold (e.g. $500,000) before a transfer is required. To the extent amounts due to the Funds from their

counterparties are not fully collateralized, contractually or otherwise, the Funds bear the risk of loss from counterparty non-performance. See Note 1 “Segregation and Collateralization” for information with respect to collateral practices. Each Fund attempts to mitigate counterparty risk by only entering into agreements with counterparties that it believes have the financial resources to honor their obligations and by monitoring the financial stability of those counterparties.
3. Investment Advisory Agreement and Other Transactions with Affiliates:
The PNC Financial Services Group, Inc. (“PNC”) is the largest stockholder and an affiliate, for 1940 Act purposes, of BlackRock, Inc. (“BlackRock”).

6. Borrowings:
The Corporation, on behalf of the Funds, along with certain other funds managed by the Manager and its affiliates (“Participating Funds”), is a party to a 364-day, $800 million credit agreement with a group of lenders, under which the Funds may borrow to fund shareholder redemptions. The agreement expires in April 2014. Excluding commitments designated for a certain individual fund, other Participating Funds, including the Funds, can borrow up to an aggregate commitment amount of $500 million, subject to asset coverage and other limitations as specified in the agreement. The credit agreement has the following terms: a fee of 0.065% per annum on unused commitment amounts and interest at a rate equal to the higher of (a) the one-month LIBOR plus 0.80% per annum or (b) the Fed Funds rate plus 0.80% per annum on amounts borrowed. Participating Funds paid administration and arrangement fees, which, 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. The Funds did not borrow under the credit agreement during the year ended May 31, 2013.
7. Commitments:
Franklin Templeton Fund may invest in floating rate loan interests. In connection with these investments, the Fund may also enter into unfunded floating rate loan interests. In connection with these commitments, the Fund earns a commitment fee, typically set as a percentage of the commitment amount. Such fee income, which is included in interest income in the Statements of Operations, is recognized ratably over the commitment period. Commitment fees received in advance and unrecognized are recorded in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities as deferred income. Unfunded floating rate loan interests are marked-to-market daily, and any unrealized appreciation or depreciation is included in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities and Statements of Operations. As of May 31, 2013, the Fund had no outstanding unfunded floating rate loan interests.
8. Concentration, Market and Credit Risk:
In the normal course of business, the Funds 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 (issuer credit risk). The value of securities held by the Funds may decline in response to certain events, including those directly involving the issuers whose securities are owned by the Funds; 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 Funds may be exposed to counterparty credit risk, or the risk that an entity with which the Funds have unsettled or open transactions may fail to or be unable to perform on its commitments. The Funds manage counterparty credit risk by entering into transactions only with counterparties that they believe have the financial resources to honor their obligations and by monitoring the financial stability of those counterparties. Financial assets, which potentially expose the Funds to market, issuer and counterparty credit risks, consist principally of financial instruments and receivables due from counterparties. The extent of the Funds’ 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 Funds.
MFS Fund invests a substantial amount of its assets in issuers located in a single country or a limited number of countries. When MFS Fund 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 US securities. Please see the Schedule of Investments for concentrations in specific countries.
MFS Fund 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, including Greece, Ireland, Italy, Portugal and Spain. As of May 31, 2013, these events have adversely affected the exchange rate of the euro and may continue to spread to other countries in Europe, including countries that do not use the euro. These events may affect the value and liquidity of certain of the MFS Fund’s investments.
As of May 31, 2013, Invesco Fund invested a significant portion of their assets in securities in the financials sector and Marsico Fund invested a significant portion of its assets in securities in the consumer discretionary sector. Changes in economic conditions affecting the financials and consumer discretionary sectors would have a greater impact on the Funds and could affect the value, income and/or liquidity of positions in such securities.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm |
|
To the Shareholders of MFS Research International FDP Fund, Marsico Growth FDP Fund, Invesco Value FDP Fund and Franklin Templeton Total Return FDP Fund and the Board of Directors of FDP Series, Inc.:
We have audited the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities, including the schedules of investments, of MFS Research International FDP Fund, Marsico Growth FDP Fund, Invesco Value FDP Fund and Franklin Templeton Total Return FDP Fund, each a series of FDP Series, Inc., (the “Corporation”) as of May 31, 2013, the related statements of operations for the year then ended, the statements of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended. These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Corporation’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and financial highlights based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and financial highlights are free of material misstatement. The Corporation is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Corporation’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of May 31, 2013, by correspondence with the custodian, brokers and other financial intermediaries; where replies were not received from brokers and other financial intermediaries, we performed other auditing procedures. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial positions of MFS Research International FDP Fund, Marsico Growth FDP Fund, Invesco Value FDP Fund and Franklin Templeton Total Return FDP Fund, each a series of FDP Series, Inc., as of May 31, 2013, the results of their operations for the year then ended, the changes in their net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Disclosure of Investment Advisory Agreement and Sub-Advisory Agreements |
|
The Board of Directors (the “Board,” and the members of which are referred to as “Board Members”) of Franklin Templeton Total Return FDP Fund (the “Franklin Templeton Fund”), Invesco Value FDP Fund (the “Invesco Fund”), Marsico Growth FDP Fund (the “Marsico Fund”), and MFS Research International FDP Fund (the “MFS Fund”) (each, a “Fund”), each a series of FDP Series, Inc. (the “Corporation”), met in person on April 9, 2013 (the “April Meeting”) and May 14-15, 2013 (the “May Meeting”) to consider the approval of the Corporation’s investment advisory agreement (the “Advisory Agreement”), on behalf of each Fund, with BlackRock Advisors, LLC (the “Manager” or “BlackRock”), each Fund’s investment advisor. The Board also considered the approval of the sub-advisory agreements (collectively, the “Sub-Advisory Agreements”) between the Manager and each of (i) Franklin Advisers, Inc. (“Franklin”); (ii) Invesco Advisers, Inc. (“Invesco”); (iii) Marsico Capital Management, LLC (“Marsico”); and (iv) Massachusetts Financial Services Company (“MFS”) (collectively, the “Sub-Advisors”), with respect to the respective Fund. The Advisory Agreement and the Sub-Advisory Agreements are referred to herein as the “Agreements.”
Activities and Composition of the Board
The Board consists of thirteen individuals, ten of whom are not “interested persons” of 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 each Fund 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 Chairman 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 Committee and an Executive Committee, each of which is chaired by an Independent Board Member and composed of Independent Board Members (except for the Performance Oversight Committee and the Executive Committee, each of which also has one interested Board Member).
The Agreements
Pursuant to the 1940 Act, the Board is required to consider the continuation of the Agreements on an annual basis. The Board has four quarterly meetings per year, each extending over two days, and a fifth one-day meeting to consider specific information surrounding the consideration of renewing the Agreements. In connection with this process, the Board assessed, among other things, the nature, scope and quality of the services provided to each Fund by BlackRock, its personnel and its affiliates, and the Sub-Advisors, including investment management, administrative and shareholder services, oversight of fund accounting and custody, marketing services, risk oversight, compliance and assistance in meeting 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 Agreements, including the services and support provided by BlackRock and the Sub-Advisors to each Fund and its 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, and applicable benchmarks, if any, as well as senior management’s and portfolio managers’ analysis of the reasons for any over performance or underperformance against its peers and/or benchmark, as applicable; (b) fees, including advisory, sub-advisory, administration, if applicable, and other amounts paid to BlackRock and its affiliates, and the Sub-Advisors by each Fund for services, such as marketing and distribution, call center and fund accounting; (c) Fund operating expenses and how BlackRock allocates expenses to each Fund; (d) the resources devoted to, risk oversight of, and compliance reports relating to, implementation of each Fund’s investment objective, policies and restrictions; (e) each Fund’s compliance with its Code of Ethics and other compliance policies and procedures; (f) the nature, cost and character of non-investment management services provided by BlackRock and its affiliates; (g) BlackRock’s, the Sub-Advisors’ 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, as applicable, and execution quality of portfolio transactions; (j) BlackRock’s implementation of each Fund’s valuation and liquidity procedures; (k) an analysis of management fees for products with similar investment objectives across the open-end fund, exchange-traded fund (“ETF”), closed-end fund and institutional account product channels, as applicable; (l) BlackRock’s compensation methodology for its investment professionals and the incentives it creates; and (m) periodic updates on BlackRock’s and the Sub-Advisors’ 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. In addition, the Board requested and BlackRock provided an analysis of fair valuation and stale pricing policies. BlackRock also furnished information to the Board in response to specific questions. These questions covered issues such as BlackRock’s profitability, investment performance and management fee levels. The Board further considered the importance of: (i) organizational and structural variables to investment performance; (ii) rates of portfolio turnover; (iii) the division of responsibilities among the Manager and the Sub-Advisors and the oversight provided by the Manager; (iv) marketing support for the funds; (v) services provided to the Fund by BlackRock affiliates; and (vi) BlackRock’s oversight of relationships with third party service providers.
Board Considerations in Approving the Agreements
The Approval Process: Prior to the April Meeting, the Board requested and received materials specifically relating to the Agreements. The Board is engaged in a process with its independent legal counsel and BlackRock and the Sub-Advisors 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 Fund fees and expenses 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; (b) information on the profits realized by BlackRock and its affiliates

pursuant to the Agreements 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, 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 Fund to BlackRock; (g) sales and redemption data regarding each Fund’s shares; and (h) if applicable, a comparison of management fees to similar open-end funds managed by BlackRock, as classified by Lipper.
At the April Meeting, the Board reviewed materials relating to its consideration of the Agreements. 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 and the Sub-Advisors with questions and requests for additional information. BlackRock and the Sub-Advisors responded to these requests with additional written information in advance of the May Meeting.
At the May Meeting, the Board, including all the Independent Board Members, approved the continuation of the Advisory Agreement between the Manager and the Corporation, on behalf of each Fund, and the Sub-Advisory Agreements between the Manager and each Sub-Advisor with respect to each Fund, each for a one-year term ending June 30, 2014. In approving the continuation of the Agreements, the Board considered: (a) the nature, extent and quality of the services provided by BlackRock and the Sub-Advisors; (b) the investment performance of each Fund, BlackRock and the Sub-Advisors; (c) the advisory fee and the cost of the services and profits to be realized by BlackRock and its affiliates from their relationship with each Fund; (d) economies of scale; (e) fall-out benefits to BlackRock as a result of its relationship with each Fund; and (f) 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 and securities lending, services related to the valuation and pricing of Fund portfolio holdings, direct and indirect benefits to BlackRock and its affiliates from their relationship with each Fund and advice from independent legal counsel with respect to the review process and materials submitted for the Board’s review. The Board noted the willingness of BlackRock personnel to engage in open, candid discussions with the Board. The Board did not identify any particular information as 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 and the Sub-Advisors: The Board, including the Independent Board Members, reviewed the nature, extent and quality of services provided by BlackRock and the Sub-Advisors under the Agreements, including the investment advisory and sub-advisory services and the resulting performance of each Fund. Throughout the year, the Board compared Fund performance to the performance of a comparable group of mutual funds and/or the performance of a relevant benchmark, if any. The Board met with BlackRock’s senior management personnel responsible for investment operations, including the senior investment officers. The Board also reviewed the materials provided by each Fund’s portfolio management team discussing Fund performance and each Fund’s investment objective, strategies and outlook.
The Board considered, among other factors, with respect to BlackRock and the Sub-Advisors: the number, education and experience of investment personnel generally and each Fund’s portfolio management team; investments by portfolio managers in the funds they manage; portfolio trading capabilities; use of technology; commitment to compliance; credit analysis capabilities; and risk analysis and oversight capabilities.
In addition to advisory services, the Board considered the quality of the administrative and non-investment advisory services provided to each Fund. BlackRock and its affiliates provide each Fund with certain administrative, shareholder and other services (in addition to any such services provided to each Fund by third parties) and officers and other personnel as are necessary for the operations of each Fund. In particular, BlackRock and its affiliates provide each Fund 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) assisting with daily accounting and pricing; (iii) overseeing and coordinating the activities of other service providers; (iv) organizing Board meetings and preparing the materials for such Board meetings; (v) providing legal and compliance support; and (vi) performing other administrative functions necessary for the operation of each Fund, such as tax reporting, fulfilling regulatory filing requirements and call center services. The Board reviewed the structure and duties of BlackRock’s fund administration, 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 each Fund, BlackRock and the Sub-Advisors: The Board, including the Independent Board Members, also reviewed and considered the performance history of each Fund. 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, which analyzed various factors that affect Lipper’s rankings. In connection with its review, the Board received and reviewed information regarding the investment performance of each Fund as compared to other funds in each Fund’s applicable Lipper category. 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 Committee regularly review, and meet with Fund management to discuss, the performance of each Fund throughout the year.
The Board noted that the Franklin Templeton Fund ranked in the first, first and second quartiles against its Lipper Performance Universe for the one-, three- and five-year periods reported, respectively.

|
| |
Disclosure of Investment Advisory Agreement and Sub-Advisory Agreements (continued) |
|
The Board noted that the Invesco Fund ranked in the first quartile against its Lipper Performance Universe for each of the one-, three- and five-year periods reported.
The Board noted that the Marsico Fund ranked in the fourth, second and fourth quartiles against its Lipper Performance Universe for the one-, three- and five-year periods reported, respectively. The Board, BlackRock, and Marsico reviewed and discussed the reasons for the Marsico Fund’s underperformance during the one- and five-year periods compared to its Lipper Performance Universe. The Board was informed that the primary detractors of performance for the one-year period were stock selection in the consumer discretionary and energy sectors and an underweighted posture and stock selection in financials. The primary detractors of performance for the five-year period were stock selection in the energy and health care sectors along with an underweighted posture and stock selection in consumer staples.
The Board expressed dissatisfaction with the Marsico Fund’s performance and directed Blackrock to present by the Board’s November meeting recommendations for remediating the performance issues. These recommendations could include a proposal to change the Marsico Fund’s sub-advisor.
The Board noted that the MFS Fund ranked in the third, first and second quartiles against its Lipper Performance Universe for the one-, three- and five-year periods reported, respectively. The Board and BlackRock reviewed and discussed the reasons for the MFS Fund’s underperformance during the one-year period and will monitor the MFS Fund’s performance in the coming year.
The Board noted that BlackRock has recently made, and continues to make, changes to the organization of BlackRock’s overall portfolio management structure designed to result in strengthened leadership teams.
C. Consideration of the Advisory/Management Fees and the Cost of the Services and Profits to be Realized by BlackRock and its Affiliates and the Sub-Advisors from their Relationship with each Fund: The Board, including the Independent Board Members, reviewed each Fund’s contractual management fee rate compared with the other funds in its 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 net operating expense ratio, as well as actual management fee rate, to those of other funds in its Lipper category. The total net operating expense ratio and actual management fee rate gives effect to any expense reimbursements or fee waivers that benefit the funds. The Board considered the services provided and the fees charged by BlackRock to other types of clients with similar investment mandates, including institutional accounts.
The Board received and reviewed statements relating to BlackRock’s financial condition. The Board was also provided with a profitability analysis that detailed the revenues earned and the expenses incurred by BlackRock for services provided to each Fund. The Board reviewed BlackRock’s profitability with respect to each Fund and other funds the Board currently oversees for the year ended December 31, 2012 compared to available aggregate profitability data provided for the two prior years. The Board reviewed BlackRock’s profitability with respect to certain other fund complexes managed by the Manager and/or its affiliates. The Board reviewed BlackRock’s assumptions and methodology of allocating expenses in the profitability analysis, noting the inherent limitations in allocating costs among various advisory products. The Board recognized that profitability may be affected by numerous factors including, among other things, fee waivers and expense reimbursements by the Manager, the types of funds managed, precision of expense allocations and business mix. As a result, comparing profitability is difficult.
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 each Fund by BlackRock, and BlackRock’s and its affiliates’ profits relating to the management and distribution of each Fund and the other funds advised by BlackRock and its affiliates. As part of its analysis, the Board reviewed BlackRock’s methodology in allocating its costs to the management of each Fund. The Board also considered whether BlackRock and the Sub-Advisors have the financial resources necessary to attract and retain high quality investment management personnel to perform its obligations under the Agreements and to continue to provide the high quality of services that is expected by the Board.
The Board noted that the Franklin Templeton Fund’s contractual management fee rate ranked in the first quartile relative to its Expense Peers. The Board also noted that the Franklin Templeton Fund has an advisory fee arrangement that includes breakpoints that adjust the fee rate downward as the size of the Franklin Templeton Fund increases above certain contractually specified levels. The Board further noted that BlackRock has voluntarily agreed to a cap on the Franklin Templeton Fund’s total net operating expenses on a class-by-class basis, as applicable.
The Board noted that the Invesco Fund’s contractual management fee rate ranked in the first quartile relative to its Expense Peers. The Board also noted that the Invesco Fund has an advisory fee arrangement that includes breakpoints that adjust the fee rate downward as the size of the Invesco Fund increases above certain contractually specified levels. The Board further noted that BlackRock has voluntarily agreed to a cap on the Invesco Fund’s total net operating expenses on a class-by-class basis, as applicable.
The Board noted that the Marsico Fund’s contractual management fee rate ranked in the third quartile relative to its Expense Peers. The Board determined that the Marsico Fund’s contractual management fee rate was reasonable relative to the median contractual management fee rate paid by its Expense Peers. The Board also noted that the Marsico Fund has an

|
advisory fee arrangement that includes breakpoints that adjust the fee rate downward as the size of the Marsico Fund increases above certain contractually specified levels. The Board further noted that BlackRock has voluntarily agreed to a cap on the Marsico Fund’s total net operating expenses on a class-by-class basis, as applicable. After discussions between the Board, including the Independent Board Members, and BlackRock, the Board and BlackRock agreed to a continuation of the voluntary advisory fee reduction, which may result in savings to shareholders, that was implemented on June 1, 2012.
The Board noted that the MFS Fund’s contractual management fee rate ranked in the second quartile relative to its Expense Peers. The Board also noted that the MFS Fund has an advisory fee arrangement that includes breakpoints that adjust the fee rate downward as the size of the MFS Fund increases above certain contractually specified levels. The Board further noted that BlackRock has voluntarily agreed to a cap on the MFS Fund’s total net operating expenses on a class-by-class basis, as applicable.
D. Economies of Scale: The Board, including the Independent Board Members, considered the extent to which economies of scale might be realized as the assets of each Fund increase, as well as the existence of expense caps, as applicable. The Board also considered the extent to which each Fund benefits from such economies and whether there should be changes in the advisory fee rate or breakpoint structure in order to enable each Fund to participate in these economies of scale, for example through the use of revised breakpoints in the advisory fee based upon the asset level of each Fund. In its 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 each Fund, 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 each Fund, including for administrative, distribution, securities lending and cash management services. The Board also considered BlackRock’s and the Sub-Advisors’ overall operations and BlackRock’s efforts to expand the scale of, and improve the quality of, its operations. The Board also noted that BlackRock and the Sub-Advisors 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 their other client accounts. The Board further noted that it had considered the investment by BlackRock’s funds in ETFs without any offset against the management fees payable by the funds to BlackRock.
In connection with its consideration of the Agreements, the Board also received information regarding BlackRock’s and the Sub-Advisors’ 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 each Fund’s fees and expenses are too high or if they are dissatisfied with the performance of each Fund.
Conclusion
The Board, including all the Independent Board Members, approved the continuation of the Advisory Agreement between the Manager and the Corporation, on behalf of each Fund, for a one-year term ending June 30, 2014, and the Sub-Advisory Agreements between the Manager and each Sub-Advisor with respect to each Fund for a one-year term ending June 30, 2014. Based upon its evaluation of all of the aforementioned factors in their totality, the Board, including the Independent Board Members, was satisfied that the terms of the Agreements were fair and reasonable and in the best interest of each Fund and its shareholders. In arriving at its decision to approve the Agreements, the Board 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 each Fund 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 and the Sub-Advisors. As a result, the Board Members’ conclusions may be based in part on their consideration of these arrangements in prior years.

(e)(1) Audit Committee Pre-Approval Policies and Procedures:
The Committee has adopted policies and procedures with regard to the pre-approval of services. Audit, audit-related and tax compliance services provided to the registrant on an annual basis require specific pre-approval by the Committee. The Committee also must approve other non-audit services provided to the registrant and those non-audit services provided to the Investment Adviser and Fund Service Providers that relate directly to the operations and the financial reporting of the registrant. Certain of these non-audit services that the Committee believes are (a) consistent with the SEC’s auditor independence rules and (b) routine and recurring services that will not impair the independence of the independent accountants may be approved by the Committee without consideration on a specific case-by-case basis (“general pre-approval”). The term of any general pre-approval is 12 months from the date of the pre-approval, unless the Committee provides for a different period. Tax or other non-audit services provided to the registrant which have a direct impact on the operations or financial reporting of the registrant will only be deemed pre-approved provided that any individual project does not exceed $10,000 attributable to the registrant or $50,000 per project. For this purpose, multiple projects will be aggregated to determine if they exceed the previously mentioned cost levels.
| | Any proposed services exceeding the pre-approved cost levels will require specific pre-approval by the Committee, as will any other services not subject to general pre-approval (e.g., unanticipated but permissible services). The Committee is informed of each service approved subject to general pre-approval at the next regularly scheduled in-person board meeting. At this meeting, an analysis of such services is presented to the Committee for ratification. The Committee may delegate to the Committee Chairman the authority to approve the provision of and fees for any specific engagement of permitted non-audit services, including services exceeding pre-approved cost levels.
(e)(2) None of the services described in each of Items 4(b) through (d) were approved by the Committee pursuant to the de minimis exception in paragraph (c)(7)(i)(C) of Rule 2-01 of Regulation S-X.
(f) Not Applicable
|
(g) The aggregate non-audit fees paid to the accountant for services rendered by the accountant to the registrant, the Investment Adviser and the Fund Service Providers were:
Entity Name | Current Fiscal Year End | Previous Fiscal Year End |
Franklin Templeton Total Return FDP Fund | $15,100 | $14,600 |
Invesco Value FDP Fund | $12,000 | $11,500 |
Marsico Growth FDP Fund | $12,000 | $11,500 |
MFS Research International FDP Fund | $16,000 | $22,500 |

| (h) The Committee has considered and determined that the provision of non-audit services that were rendered to the Investment Adviser and the Fund Service Providers that were not pre-approved pursuant to paragraph (c)(7)(ii) of Rule 2-01 of Regulation S-X is compatible with maintaining the principal accountant’s independence. |
