Dear Shareholder,
Diverging monetary policies and shifting economic outlooks across regions have been the overarching themes driving financial markets over the past couple of years. With U.S. growth outpacing the global economic recovery in 2015, the Federal Reserve (the “Fed”) has been posturing for a change from its low-rate policy while the European Central Bank (ECB) and the Bank of Japan have taken a more accommodative stance. In this environment, the U.S. dollar strengthened considerably, causing profit challenges for U.S. exporters and high levels of volatility in emerging market currencies and commodity prices. After plunging in late 2014, oil prices have been particularly volatile and below the historical norm due to an ongoing imbalance in global supply and demand.
Global market volatility increased in the summer of 2015, beginning with a sharp, but temporary, sell-off in June as Greece’s long-brewing debt troubles came to an impasse. These concerns abated with the passing of austerity and reform measures in July, but the market’s calm was short-lived as signs of weakness in China’s economy sparked a significant decline in Chinese equities. Higher volatility spread through markets globally in the third quarter as further indications of a deceleration in China stoked worries about the broader global economy, resulting in the worst quarterly performance for equities since 2011. Given a dearth of evidence of global growth, equity markets became more reliant on central bank policies to drive performance. As such, equities powered higher in October when China’s central bank provided more stimulus, the ECB poised for more easing and soft U.S. data pushed back expectations for a Fed rate hike. As the period came to a close, volatility crept higher and asset prices again weakened as investors digested more mixed economic data against a backdrop of generally high valuations.
At BlackRock, we believe investors need to think globally, extend their scope across a broad array of asset classes and be prepared to move freely as market conditions change over time. We encourage you to talk with your financial advisor and visit blackrock.com for further insight about investing in today’s markets.
Sincerely,

Portfolio Management Commentary |
How did the Fund perform?
• | | For the six-month period ended November 30, 2015, the Fund underperformed its primary benchmark, the MSCI Europe, Australasia and Far East (“EAFE”) Index, while it outperformed the secondary benchmark, the MSCI All Country World (excluding U.S.) Index. The following discussion of relative performance pertains to the MSCI EAFE Index. |
What factors influenced performance?
• | | In terms of sectors, stock selection in health care was a primary detractor from relative performance. In particular, the Fund’s positions in Valeant Pharmaceuticals International, Inc. (Canada) and Novartis AG (Switzerland) detracted from performance relative to the benchmark. Stock selection in consumer staples was another area of relative weakness as a lack of holdings in Anheuser-Busch InBev Worldwide, Inc. (Belgium) detracted. In addition, positions in Mediatek, Inc. (Taiwan), Rio Tinto PLC (U.K.), Iluka Resources Ltd. (Australia), Orica Ltd. (Australia), Barclays PLC (U.K.), Lloyds Banking Group PLC (U.K.) and Schneider Electric SE (France) weighed on relative results during the six-month period. |
• | | Conversely, stock selection in consumer cyclicals issues contributed to relative results. Within this area, positions in Sundrug Co. Ltd. (Japan) and RELX NV (U.K.) benefited performance. In addition, holdings in Terumo Corp. (Japan), Santen Pharmaceutical Co. Ltd. (Japan), KDDI Corp. (Japan), Danone SA (France), Reckitt Benckiser Group PLC (U.K.), a lack of holdings in Glencore PLC (U.K./Switzerland), and positions in Nippon Paint Holdings Co., Ltd. (Japan) and BHP Billiton PLC (Australia) contributed to relative performance. |
Describe recent portfolio activity.
• | | Within capital goods, the Fund’s position in mining equipment companies was increased to a slight overweight. This reflects the sub-advisor’s view that after prolonged underperformance, share prices for mining equipment firms now reflect unsustainably low commodity prices. In addition, economic uncertainty and extreme market volatility typically result in downward pressure on financials, especially banks, as such activity calls into question bank balance sheets. While the Fund has sought to build non-bank exposure within financials, it has been difficult to find bottom-up opportunities, and, in fact, the Fund’s insurance exposure was trimmed during the period. Within technology, end-user demand for technology hardware has decreased, and inventories that were already at above-average levels have not been digested. As a result, most technology hardware makers ranging from semiconductors and other components to PCs and phones underperformed. However, weakness in China made it possible for the Fund to initiate a position in the internet software & services sub-sector. The sub-advisor continues to search for similar opportunities to purchase strong companies at attractive valuations. |
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 the sub-advisor finds the most attractive opportunities. Relative to the MSCI EAFE Index, the Fund ended the period underweight in Europe ex-U.K., Japan, Asia-Pacific ex-Japan and the United Kingdom, while overweight in emerging markets and North America. |
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 six-month period ended November 30, 2015, the Fund’s Institutional Shares outperformed its benchmark, the S&P 500® Index, while Investor A performed inline and Investor C Shares underperformed. |
What factors influenced performance?
• | | Stock selection and an overweight posture toward two of the better-performing sectors in the benchmark index, information technology (“IT”) and consumer discretionary, were the primary sources of outperformance in the period. Within IT, positions in the social networking company Facebook, Inc., Class A, the electronic payments firm Visa, Inc., Class A and the customer relationship management company salesforce.com, Inc. posted solid returns. Facebook emerged as the top individual contributor during the six-month period, as the company benefited from the advertising shift to online venues from traditional media outlets. Within consumer discretionary, shares of the athletic apparel company NIKE, Inc., Class B rallied after the company reported accelerating sales in a number of its markets. In addition, holdings in the online retailer Amazon.com, Inc. posted strong results as the company continued to take market share from “brick and mortar” retailers. The Fund also benefited from its underweight position in energy, the weakest-performing sector in the benchmark index during the period. |
• | | Stock selection within the pharmaceuticals biotechnology & life sciences sub-sector, and an overweight position in the weak-performing health care sector, represented the main detractors from performance. The genome sequencing company Illumina, Inc. was the largest individual detractor from performance and was sold after posting disappointing earnings results and reducing its earnings forecast. Additionally, holdings in the biotechnology company Biogen, Inc., the global leader in the treatment of multiple sclerosis (“MS”), disappointed as sales of its blockbuster MS drug, Tecfidera, slowed. The Fund’s position in Biogen was sold. |
Describe recent portfolio activity.
• | | During the reporting period, the Fund decreased its positions in the health care sector while increasing exposure to the consumer discretionary sector. In addition to the above-noted sales of Illumina, Inc. and Biogen, Inc., positions in Allergan PLC and Valeant Pharmaceuticals International, Inc. were sold. In the consumer discretionary sector, the Fund initiated a position in Amazon.com, Inc. |
Describe portfolio positioning at period end.
• | | On an absolute basis, the Fund’s largest sector allocations were IT, consumer discretionary and health care. Relative to the S&P 500® Index, the Fund was overweight in consumer discretionary, IT and health care, and underweight financials, consumer staples, energy and industrials. The Fund had no exposure to telecommunication services or utilities. |
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 six-month period ended November 30, 2015, the Fund underperformed its benchmark, the Russell 1000® Value Index. |
What factors influenced performance?
• | | The Fund’s foreign currency forward contracts, used for the sole purpose of the risk management of foreign currency exposure, had a large positive impact on the Fund’s performance relative to the Russell 1000® Value Index for the period. This was mainly due to the strength of the U.S. dollar compared to the foreign currencies in which the Fund’s non-U.S. holdings were denominated. In addition, stock selection within the consumer staples sector contributed to relative performance. In particular, holdings in ConAgra Foods, Inc. contributed to returns as the packaged foods maker reported earnings that exceeded analysts’ estimates. Lastly, stock selection within information technology (“IT”) benefited performance, as positions in Citrix Systems, Inc. and eBay, Inc. posted strong returns. The Fund’s allocation to cash used for the purposes of liquidity and investment opportunity also was additive in a negative market environment. |
• | | Stock selection within health care had a significant negative impact on relative performance for the period, as positions in Novartis AG and Anthem, Inc. were both down sharply. Stock selection and an overweight in energy also detracted from relative performance. The Fund’s position in Weatherford International PLC was the largest individual detractor as the company announced the issuance of $1 billion in equity to fund acquisitions, then quickly rescinded the offer after its stock sold off due to investor concerns regarding the financing plan. In addition, stock selection and an underweight position in financials detracted significantly during the period. Within diversified financials, holdings in Morgan Stanley underperformed. Although the company reported profits and revenues |
| | that exceeded analysts’ estimates, financial stocks generally declined from mid to late August on concerns over the outlook for a prolonged low interest rate environment. Also in financials, the Fund’s lack of holdings in real estate detracted, as real estate was one of the few industries in the sector that posted a positive return. Additionally, stock selection and an overweight in consumer discretionary detracted from relative performance. In particular, media holdings, including Viacom, Inc., Class B, posted sharply negative returns. An analyst downgraded Viacom, Inc. on speculation that the company’s channels could be dropped from Dish Network. |
Describe recent portfolio activity.
• | | Although the Fund is underweight in financials compared with the benchmark, investments in this sector increased during the period, notably in large diversified financial companies. Within energy, the Fund took advantage of weakness in the sector to add to select holdings, mainly within integrated oil & gas exploration & production stocks. The Fund has also been looking to reduce positions in oil services as prices recover there. Overall, portfolio activity was consistent with the Fund’s process and philosophy of purchasing deeply discounted companies and holding them for the long term, when most other investors are focused on the short-term prospects for these companies. The Fund’s exposure in each sector displays a higher degree of risk/reward compared with the benchmark. Therefore, the Fund should be more sensitive to broad moves within these sectors for the foreseeable future. The Fund’s most significant decrease in exposure was within health care. |
Describe portfolio positioning at period end.
• | | Relative to the Russell 1000® Value Index, the Fund ended the period overweight in energy, consumer discretionary and IT, and underweight in utilities, consumer staples, financials, industrials, health care, materials and telecommunication services. |
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.

Fund Summary as of November 30, 2015 | | Franklin Templeton Total Return FDP Fund |
Franklin Templeton Total Return FDP Fund’s (the “Fund”) investment objective is to seek to provide shareholders with high current income, consistent with preservation of capital. The Fund’s secondary objective is capital appreciation over the long-term.
On April 14, 2015, the Board of Directors (the “Board”), including the Independent Directors, approved the use of a manager of managers structure for the Fund, subject to the approval of the Fund’s shareholders, and changing the Fund’s name to FDP BlackRock Franklin Templeton Total Return Fund upon receiving such shareholder approval. Under the manager of managers structure, the Manager will be able to hire and replace sub-advisors and may amend sub-advisory agreements for the Fund, subject to the prior approval of the Board, but without shareholder approval.
At a special meeting on November 25, 2015, shareholders of the Fund approved the use of a manager of managers structure for the Fund. These changes will take effect on or about January 29, 2016.

Portfolio Management Commentary |
How did the Fund perform?
• | | For the six-month period ended November 30, 2015, the Fund underperformed its benchmark, the Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index. |
What factors influenced performance?
• | | During the period, the Fund’s positioning in high yield corporate credit and investment-grade corporate bonds detracted from performance. Exposure to U.S. yield curve movements also hindered results. The Fund’s positioning in senior secured floating rate loans represented another detractor during the period. |
• | | The Fund’s positioning in fixed-rate mortgage-backed securities (“MBS”) had a positive impact on results during the period. Sovereign emerging market bond holdings and exposure to non-U.S. yield curves also boosted results. In addition, the Fund’s allocation to tax-exempt municipal bonds contributed to performance. |
Describe recent portfolio activity.
• | | During the period, the Fund increased its allocations to investment-grade corporate bonds and MBS at what were considered to be attractive valuations. The sub-advisor believed that many of the best opportunities in global bond markets existed outside of the United States, and therefore |
| | maintained strong exposure to international bonds. The Fund reduced exposure to U.S. Treasuries. |
• | | The Fund transacts in mortgage dollar rolls, which require future mortgage settlements. To meet these forward liabilities, the Fund holds cash or invests in high-quality, liquid assets. The Fund’s allocation in cash and cash equivalents did not materially impact performance during the period. |
• | | In addition, the Fund employed derivatives as a tool in seeking efficient management of certain risks. If the Fund had not owned derivatives, the sub-advisor likely would have tried to obtain the same or similar exposure by using cash instruments (non-derivatives), which in many cases may have been less efficient. |
Describe portfolio positioning at period end.
• | | Relative to the Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index, the Fund ended the period slightly overweight in many of the credit sectors, including corporate credit and securitized products such as commercial MBS and non-agency residential MBS, based on the belief that valuations remained relatively attractive on a longer-term basis. The Fund also maintained significant exposure to international bonds. Lastly, the Fund was underweight in U.S. Treasuries. |
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.

• | | 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. Perform- |
| | ance results do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on fund distributions or the redemption of fund shares. Figures shown in the performance tables on the previous pages assume reinvestment of all distributions, if any, at net asset value (“NAV”) on the ex-dividend/payable date. Investment return and principal value of shares will fluctuate so that shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Distributions paid to each class of shares will vary because of the different levels of service, distribution and transfer agency fees applicable to each class, which are deducted from the income available to be paid to shareholders. |
• | | BlackRock Advisors, LLC (the “Manager”), the Funds’ investment advisor, has contractually agreed to waive and/or reimburse a portion of each Fund’s expenses. Without such waiver and/or reimbursement, the Funds’ performance would have been lower. The Manager did not waive or reimburse any fees or expenses under these arrangements during the six months ended November 30, 2015. The Manager is under no obligation to waive or reimburse or to continue waiving or reimbursing its fees after the applicable termination date of such agreement. The Manager has agreed to voluntarily waive, as a percentage of average daily net assets, 0.10% and 0.05% of its advisory fee payable by MFS Research International FDP Fund and by Marsico Growth FDP Fund, respectively. Without such waiver and/or reimbursement, the performance of MFS Research International FDP Fund and Marsico Growth FDP Fund would have been lower. This voluntary waiver may be reduced or discontinued at any time without notice. See Note 6 of the Notes to Financial Statements for additional information on waivers and reimbursements. |

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, acquired fund fees and expenses and other Fund expenses. The expense examples on previous pages (which are based on a hypothetical investment of $1,000 invested on June 1, 2015 and held through November 30, 2015) are intended to assist shareholders both in calculating expenses based on an investment in each Fund and in comparing these expenses with similar costs of investing in other mutual funds.
The expense examples provide information about actual account values and actual expenses. In order to estimate the expenses a shareholder paid during the period covered by this report, shareholders can divide their account value by $1,000 and then multiply the result by the number corresponding to their Fund and share class under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During the Period.”
The expense examples also provide information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on 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 shareholder reports of other funds.
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. Derivative financial instruments are used to obtain exposure to a security, index and/or market without owning or taking physical custody of securities or to manage market, equity, credit, interest rate, foreign currency exchange rate, commodity and/or other risks. Derivative financial instruments may give rise to a form of economic leverage. Derivative financial instruments also involve risks, including the imperfect correlation between the value of a derivative financial instrument and the underlying asset, possible default of the counterparty to the transaction or illiquidity of the
derivative financial instrument. The Funds’ ability to use a derivative financial instrument successfully depends on the investment advisor’s ability to predict pertinent market movements accurately, which cannot be assured. The use of derivative financial instruments may result in losses greater than if they had not been used, may limit the amount of appreciation a Fund can realize on an investment and/or may result in lower distributions paid to shareholders. The Funds’ investments in these instruments are discussed in detail in the Notes to Financial Statements.

1. Organization:
FDP Series, Inc. (the “Corporation”) is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), as an open-end management investment company. The Corporation is organized as a Maryland corporation. The following are referred to herein collectively as the “Funds” or individually, a “Fund”:
| | | | | | |
Fund Name | | | | Herein referred to as | | Diversification Classification |
MFS Research International FDP Fund | | MFS Fund | | Diversified |
Marsico Growth FDP Fund | | Marsico Fund | | Diversified |
Invesco Value FDP Fund | | Invesco Fund | | Diversified |
Franklin Templeton Total Return FDP Fund | | Franklin Templeton Fund | | Diversified |
Each Fund offers multiple classes of shares. All classes of shares have identical voting, dividend, liquidation and other rights and are subject to the same terms and conditions, except that certain classes bear expenses related to the shareholder servicing and distribution of such shares, and may be subject to a CDSC. Institutional Shares are sold only to certain eligible investors. Investor A and Investor C Shares are generally available through financial intermediaries. Each class has exclusive voting rights with respect to matters relating to its shareholder servicing and distribution expenditures.
| | | | | | | | | | | | |
Share Name | | Initial Sales Charge | | | CDSC | | | Conversion Privilege | |
Institutional Shares | | | No | | | | No | | | | None | |
Investor A Shares | | | Yes | | | | Yes1 | | | | None | |
Investor C Shares | | | No | | | | Yes | | | | None | |
| 1 | | Investor A Shares may be subject to a CDSC where no initial sales charge was paid at the time of purchase. |
The Funds, together with certain other registered investment companies advised by BlackRock Advisors, LLC (the “Manager”) or its affiliates, are included in a complex of open-end funds referred to as the Equity-Bond Complex.
2. Significant Accounting Policies:
The financial statements are prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”), which may require management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities in the financial statements, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of increases and decreases in net assets from operations during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Each Fund is considered an investment company under U.S. GAAP and follows the accounting and reporting guidance applicable to investment companies. Below is a summary of significant accounting policies:
Foreign Currency: Each Fund’s books and records are maintained in U.S. dollars. Purchases and sales of investments are recorded at the rates of exchange prevailing on the respective dates of such transactions. Generally, when the U.S. dollar rises in value against a foreign currency, the investments denominated in that currency will lose value; the opposite effect occurs if the U.S. dollar falls in relative value.
Each Fund does not isolate changes in the exchange rates from the changes in the market prices of investments held or sold for financial reporting purposes. Accordingly, the effects of changes in 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. Each Fund reports realized currency gains (losses) on foreign currency related transactions as components of net realized gain (loss) for financial reporting purposes, whereas such components are generally treated as ordinary income for federal income tax purposes.
Segregation and Collateralization: In cases where a Fund enters into certain investments (e.g., dollar rolls, to-be-announced (“TBA”) sale commitments, financial futures contracts, forward foreign currency exchange contracts, options written and swaps) that would be treated as “senior securities” for 1940 Act purposes, a Fund may segregate or designate on its books and records cash or liquid assets having a market value at least equal to the amount of its future obligations under such investments. Doing so allows the investment to be excluded from treatment as a “senior security.” Furthermore, if required by an exchange or counterparty agreement, the Funds may be required to deliver/deposit cash and/or securities to/with an exchange, or broker-dealer or custodian as collateral for certain investments or obligations.
Investment Transactions and Investment Income: For financial reporting purposes, investment transactions are recorded on the dates the transactions are entered into (the trade dates). Realized gains and losses on investment transactions are determined on the identified cost basis. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date. Dividends from foreign securities where the ex-dividend date may have passed are subsequently recorded when the Funds are 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, expenses and realized and unrealized gains and losses are allocated daily to each class based on its relative net assets.

Distributions: For MFS Fund, Marisco Fund and Invesco Fund, distributions paid by the Funds are recorded on the ex-dividend date. For Franklin Templeton Fund, distributions from net investment income are declared daily and paid monthly. Distributions of capital gains are recorded on the ex-dividend date. The character and timing of distributions are determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations, which may differ from U.S. GAAP.
Indemnifications: In the normal course of business, a Fund enters into contracts that contain a variety of representations that provide general indemnification. A Fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown because it involves future potential claims against a Fund, which cannot be predicted with any certainty.
Other: Expenses directly related to a Fund or its classes are charged to that Fund or the applicable class. Other operating expenses shared by several funds, including other funds managed by the Manager, are prorated among those funds on the basis of relative net assets or other appropriate methods. Expenses directly related to the Funds and other shared expenses prorated to the Funds are allocated daily to each class based on its relative net assets or other appropriate methods.
The Funds have an arrangement with their custodian whereby fees may be reduced by credits earned on uninvested cash balances, which, if applicable, are shown as fees paid indirectly in the Statements of Operations. The custodian imposes fees on overdrawn cash balances, which can be offset by accumulated credits earned or may result in additional custody charges.
3. Investment Valuation and Fair Value Measurements:
Investment Valuation Policies: The Funds’ investments are valued at fair value (also referred to as “market value” within the financial statements) as of the close of trading on the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) (generally 4:00 p.m., Eastern time). U.S. GAAP defines fair value as the price the Funds would receive to sell an asset or pay to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The Funds determine the fair values of their financial instruments using independent dealers or pricing services under policies approved by the Board of Directors of each Fund (the “Board”). The BlackRock Global Valuation Methodologies Committee (the “Global Valuation Committee”) is the committee formed by management to develop global pricing policies and procedures and to provide oversight of the pricing function for the Funds for all financial instruments.
Fair Value Inputs and Methodologies: The following methods (or “techniques”) and inputs are used to establish the fair value of each Fund’s assets and liabilities:
• | | Equity investments traded on a recognized securities exchange are valued at the official close price each day, if available. For equity investments traded on more than one exchange, the official close price on the exchange where the stock is primarily traded is used. Equity investments traded on a recognized exchange for which there were no sales on that day may be valued at the last available bid (long positions) or ask (short positions) price. |
• | | Bond investments are valued 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. |
• | | 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 Funds’ net assets. 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. |
• | | 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. |
• | | TBA commitments are valued on the basis of last available bid prices or current market quotations provided by pricing services. |
• | | Investments in open-end registered investment companies are valued at NAV each business day. |
• | | Financial futures contracts traded on exchanges are valued at their last sale price. |
| | | | | | |

Notes to Financial Statements (continued) | | |
• | | Securities and other assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars using exchange rates determined as of the close of business on the NYSE. Forward foreign currency exchange contracts are valued at the mean between the bid and ask prices and are determined as of the close of business on the NYSE. Interpolated values are derived when the settlement date of the contract is an interim date for which quotations are not available. |
• | | Exchange-traded options are valued at the mean between the last bid and ask prices at the close of the options market in which the options trade. An exchange-traded option for which there is no mean price is valued at the last 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 the prior day’s price no longer reflects the fair value of the option. OTC options are valued by an independent pricing service using a mathematical model, which incorporates a number of market data factors, such as the trades and prices of the underlying instruments. |
• | | 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. |
• | | Certain centrally cleared swaps are valued at the price determined by the relevant exchange or clearinghouse. |
If events (e.g., a company announcement, market volatility or a natural disaster) occur that are expected to materially affect the value of such instruments, or in the event that the application of these methods of valuation results in a price for an investment that is deemed not to be representative of the market value of such investment, or if a price is not available, the investment will be valued by the Global Valuation Committee, or its delegate, in accordance with a policy approved by the Board as reflecting fair value (“Fair Valued Investments”). When determining the price for Fair Valued Investments, the Global Valuation Committee, or its delegate, seeks to determine the price that each Fund might reasonably expect to receive or pay from the current sale or purchase of that asset or liability in an arm’s-length transaction. Fair value determinations shall be based upon all available factors that the Global Valuation Committee, or its delegate, deems relevant consistent with the principles of fair value measurement, which include the market approach, income approach and/or in the case of recent investments, the cost approach, as appropriate. The market approach generally consists of using comparable market transactions. The income approach generally is used to discount future cash flows to present value and is adjusted for liquidity as appropriate. These factors include but are not limited to: (i) attributes specific to the investment or asset; (ii) the principal market for the investment or asset; (iii) the customary participants in the principal market for the investment or asset; (iv) data assumptions by market participants for the investment or asset, if reasonably available; (v) quoted prices for similar investments or assets in active markets; and (vi) other factors, such as future cash flows, interest rates, yield curves, volatilities, prepayment speeds, loss severities, credit risks, recovery rates, liquidation amounts and/or default rates. Due to the inherent uncertainty of valuations of such investments, the fair values may differ from the values that would have been used had an active market existed. The Global Valuation Committee, or its delegate, employs various methods for calibrating valuation approaches for investments where an active market does not exist, including regular due diligence of each Fund’s pricing vendors, regular reviews of key inputs and assumptions, transactional back-testing or disposition analysis to compare unrealized gains and losses to realized gains and losses, reviews of missing or stale prices and large movements in market values and reviews of any market related activity. The pricing of all Fair Valued Investments is subsequently reported to the Board or a committee thereof on a quarterly basis.
Fair Value Hierarchy: Various inputs are used in determining the fair value of investments and derivative financial instruments. These inputs to valuation techniques are categorized into a fair value 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 each 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 each 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. The significant unobservable inputs used by the Global Valuation Committee in determining the price for Fair Valued Investments are typically categorized as Level 3. The fair value hierarchy for each Fund’s investments and derivative financial instruments has been included in the Schedules of Investments.
Changes in valuation techniques may result in transfers into or out of an assigned level within the hierarchy. In accordance with each Fund’s policy, transfers between different levels of the fair value 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 investments and derivative financial instruments and is not necessarily an indication of the risks associated with investing in those securities.
4. Securities and Other Investments:
Asset-Backed and Mortgage-Backed Securities: Asset-backed securities are generally issued as pass-through certificates or as debt instruments. Asset-backed securities issued as pass-through certificates represent undivided fractional ownership interests in an underlying pool of assets. Asset-backed securities issued as debt instruments, which are also known as collateralized obligations are typically 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 will have the effect of shortening the maturity of the security. In addition, a Fund may subsequently have to reinvest the proceeds at lower interest rates. If a 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.
For mortgage pass through securities, there are a number of important differences among the agencies and instrumentalities of the U.S. 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 U.S. Treasury.
Non-agency mortgage-backed securities are securities issued by non-governmental issuers and have no direct or indirect government guarantees of payment and are subject to various risks. Non-agency mortgage loans are obligations of the borrowers thereunder only and are not typically insured or guaranteed by any other person or entity. The ability of a borrower to repay a loan is dependent upon the income or assets of the borrower. A number of factors, including a general economic downturn, acts of God, terrorism, social unrest and civil disturbances, may impair a borrower’s ability to repay its loans.
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 principal until maturity. Repayment of the original bond principal upon maturity (as adjusted for inflation) is guaranteed in the case of U.S. 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: Multiple class pass-through securities, including collateralized mortgage obligations (“CMOs”) and commercial mortgage-backed securities may be issued by Ginnie Mae, U.S. 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, a pool of residential or commercial mortgage loans or mortgage pass-through securities (the “Mortgage Assets”). The payments on these are used to make payments on the CMOs or multiple pass-through securities. Multiple class pass-through securities represent direct ownership interests in the Mortgage Assets. 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 prepayments of principal, a Fund’s initial investment in the IOs may not fully recoup.
Zero-Coupon Bonds: Zero-coupon bonds are normally issued at a significant discount from face value and do not provide for periodic interest payments. These bonds may experience greater volatility in market value than other debt obligations of similar maturity which provide for regular interest payments.
Capital Trusts and Trust Preferred Securities: Capital trusts and/or trust preferred 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. For trust preferred securities, the issuing bank or corporation pays interest to the trust, which is then distributed
| | | | | | |
| | | | | | |
| | FDP SERIES, INC. | | NOVEMBER 30, 2015 | | 55 |
| | |
Notes to Financial Statements (continued) | | |
to holders of the trust preferred securities as a dividend. 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 and are freely callable at the issuer’s option.
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: Floating rate loan interests are typically issued to companies (the “borrower”) by banks, other financial institutions, or 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. A 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 U.S. banks or the certificate of deposit rate. Floating rate loan interests may involve foreign borrowers, and investments may be denominated in foreign currencies. These investments are treated as investments in debt securities for purposes of a Fund’s investment policies.
When a 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, a 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 a Fund upon the prepayment of a floating rate loan interest by a borrower, are recorded as realized gains. A 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. A 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 a Fund having a contractual relationship only with the lender, not with the borrower. A Fund has 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, a 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. A Fund may not benefit directly from any collateral supporting the loan in which it has purchased the Participation. As a result, a Fund assumes the credit risk of both the borrower and the lender that is selling the Participation. A 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, a 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 a Fund having a direct contractual relationship with the borrower, and a Fund may enforce compliance by the borrower with the terms of the loan agreement.
In connection with floating rate loan interests, certain Funds may also enter into unfunded floating rate loan interests (“commitments”). In connection with these commitments, a 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. Unfunded floating rate loan interests are marked-to-market daily, and any unrealized appreciation (depreciation) is included in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities and Statements of Operations. As of period end, the Franklin Templeton Fund had the following unfunded floating rate loan interests:

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. When entering into TBA commitments, a Fund may 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.
| | | | | | |
| | | | | | |
56 | | FDP SERIES, INC. | | NOVEMBER 30, 2015 | | |
| | | | |
Notes to Financial Statements (continued) | | |
In order to better define contractual rights and to secure rights that will help a Fund mitigate its counterparty risk, TBA commitments may be entered into by a Fund under Master Securities Forward Transaction Agreements (each, an “MSFTA”). An MSFTA typically contains, among other things, collateral posting terms and netting provisions in the event of default and/or termination event. 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 the collateral currently pledged by a Fund and the counterparty. Cash collateral that has been pledged to cover the obligations of a Fund and cash collateral received from the counterparty, if any, is reported separately on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities as cash pledged as collateral for TBA commitments or cash received as collateral for TBA commitments, respectively. Non-cash collateral pledged by a Fund, if any, is noted in the Schedules of Investments. Typically, a Fund is permitted to sell, repledge or use the collateral it receives; however, the counterparty is not permitted to do so. To the extent amounts due to a Fund are not fully collateralized, contractually or otherwise, a Fund bears the risk of loss from counterparty non-performance.
Mortgage Dollar Roll Transactions: Certain Funds may sell TBA mortgage-backed securities and simultaneously contract to repurchase substantially similar (i.e., same type, coupon and maturity) securities on a specific future date at an agreed upon price. During the period between the sale and repurchase, a Fund is not entitled to receive interest and principal payments on the securities sold. Mortgage dollar roll transactions are treated as purchases and sales and realize gains and losses on these transactions. Mortgage dollar rolls involve the risk that the market value of the securities that a Fund is required to purchase may decline below the agreed upon repurchase price of those securities.
5. 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 manage economically their exposure to certain risks such as credit risk, interest rate risk and foreign currency exchange rate risk. These contracts may be transacted on an exchange or OTC.
Financial Futures Contracts: Certain Funds invest in long and/or short positions in financial futures contracts and options on financial futures contracts to gain exposure to, or economically hedge against, changes in interest rates (interest rate risk), changes in the value of equity securities (equity risk) or foreign currencies (foreign currency exchange rate risk). Financial futures contracts are agreements between the Funds and a counterparty to buy or sell a specific quantity of an underlying instrument at a specified price and at a specified date. Depending on the terms of the particular contract, financial futures contracts are settled either through physical delivery of the underlying instrument on the settlement date or by payment of a cash settlement amount on the settlement date.
Upon entering into a financial futures contract, the 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, if any, 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. Variation margin is recorded by the Funds as unrealized appreciation (depreciation) and, if applicable, as a receivable or payable for variation margin in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities.
When the contract is closed, the 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.
Forward Foreign Currency Exchange Contracts: Certain Funds enter into forward 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 forward 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. Forward 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. Non-deliverable forward foreign currency exchange contracts are settled with the counterparty in cash without the delivery of foreign currency. 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 forward foreign currency exchange contracts involves the risk that the value of a forward 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 interest rate 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
| | | | | | |
| | | | | | |
| | FDP SERIES, INC. | | NOVEMBER 30, 2015 | | 57 |
| | |
Notes to Financial Statements (continued) | | |
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.
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 swaptions 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-U.S. 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 contract 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’ counterparty on the swap agreement becomes the CCP. The Funds are required to interface with 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. Payments received from (paid to) the counterparty, including at termination, are recorded as realized gain (loss) in the Statements of Operations.
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 — Certain 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 occur. 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. |
Master Netting Arrangements: In order to better define the Funds’ contractual rights and to secure rights that will help them 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 their counterparties. An ISDA Master Agreement is a bilateral agreement between each Fund and a counterparty that governs certain OTC derivatives 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 including the bankruptcy or insolvency of the counterparty. Bankruptcy or insolvency laws of a particular jurisdiction may restrict or prohibit the right of offset in bankruptcy, insolvency or other events. In addition, certain ISDA Master Agreements allow counterparties 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. The result would cause the Funds to accelerate payment of any net liability owed to the counterparty.
Collateral Requirements: 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 Fund 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 (typically either $250,000 or $500,000) before a transfer is required, which is determined at the close of business of the Funds. Any additional required collateral is delivered to/pledged by the Funds on the next business day. Typically, a Fund’s counterparty is not permitted to sell, re-pledge or use cash and non-cash collateral it receives. A Fund generally agrees not to use non-cash collateral that it receives but may, absent default or certain other circumstances defined in the underlying ISDA Master Agreement, be permitted to use cash collateral received. In such cases, a Fund may pay interest pursuant to the collateral arrangement with the counterparty. To the extent amounts due to the Funds from their counterparties are not fully collateralized, the Funds bear the risk of loss from counterparty non-performance. Likewise, to the extent the Funds have delivered collateral to a counterparty and stand ready to perform under the terms of their agreement with such counterparty, the Funds bear the risk of loss from a counterparty in the amount of the value of the collateral in the event the counterparty fails to return such collateral. Based on the terms of agreements, collateral may not be required to all derivative contracts.
For financial reporting purposes, the Funds do not offset derivative assets and derivative liabilities that are subject to netting arrangements, if any, in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities.
6. Investment Advisory Agreement and Other Transactions with Affiliates:
The PNC Financial Services Group, Inc. is the largest stockholder and an affiliate of BlackRock, Inc. (“BlackRock”) for 1940 Act purposes.
The Corporation, on behalf of the Funds, entered into an Investment Advisory Agreement with the Manager, the Funds’ investment advisor, an indirect, wholly owned subsidiary of BlackRock, to provide investment advisory and administration services. The Manager is responsible for the management of each Fund’s portfolio and provides the personnel, facilities, equipment and certain other services necessary to the operations of each Fund. For such services, each Fund pays the Manager a monthly fee based on a percentage of each Fund’s average daily net assets at the following annual rates:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | MFS Fund | | | Marsico Fund | | | Invesco Fund | | | Franklin Templeton Fund | |
Not exceeding $1 Billion | | | 0.90% | | | | 0.80% | | | | 0.70% | | | | 0.40% | |

The Manager entered into sub-advisory agreements on behalf of each Fund. Pursuant to the sub-advisory agreements, the Manager pays each sub-advisor for services they provide a monthly fee that is a percentage of the Manager’s investment advisory fee at the following annual rates, based on each Fund’s average daily net assets:
| | | | | | |
| | Sub-Advisor | | Sub-Advisory Fee | |
MFS Fund | | Massachusetts Financial Services Company | | | 0.45% | |

The Corporation, on behalf of the Funds, entered into a Distribution Agreement and a Distribution and Service Plan with BlackRock Investments, LLC (“BRIL”), an affiliate of the Manager. Pursuant to the Distribution and Service Plan and in accordance with Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act, each Fund pays BRIL ongoing service and distribution fees. The fees are accrued daily and paid monthly at annual rates based upon the average daily net assets of the relevant share class of each Fund as follows:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
Service Fees | | MFS Fund | | | Marsico Fund | | | Invesco Fund | | | Franklin Templeton Fund | |

Distribution Fees | | | | | | | | | | | | |
Investor C Shares | | | 0.75% | | | | 0.75% | | | | 0.75% | | | | 0.55% | |
Pursuant to sub-agreements with BRIL, broker-dealers and BRIL provide shareholder servicing and distribution services to the Funds. The ongoing service and/or distribution fee compensates BRIL and each broker-dealer for providing shareholder servicing and/or distribution related services to Investor A and Investor C shareholders.
The Manager has agreed to voluntarily waive, as a percentage of average daily net assets, 0.10% and 0.05% of its advisory fees by MFS Fund and Marsico Fund, respectively. These amounts are shown as fees waived by the Manager in the Statements of Operations. This voluntary waiver may be reduced or discontinued at any time without notice.
The Manager has contractually agreed to waive and/or reimburse fees or expenses in order to limit expenses, excluding interest expense, dividend expense, tax expense, acquired fund fees and expenses, and certain other fund expenses, which constitute extraordinary expenses not incurred in the ordinary course of the Funds’ business. This expense limitations as a percentage of average daily net assets is as follows:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | MFS Fund | | | Marsico Fund | | | Invesco Fund | | | Franklin Templeton Fund | |
Institutional Shares | | | 1.95% | | | | 1.95% | | | | 1.95% | | | | 1.95% | |

The Manager has agreed not to reduce or discontinue this contractual waiver or reimbursement prior to October 1, 2016, unless terminated upon 90 days notice by a majority of the non-interested directors of the Funds or by a vote of a majority of the outstanding voting securities of the Funds. During the six months ended November 30, 2015, the Manager did not waive or reimburse any fees or expenses under these arrangements.
In addition, the Funds pay the transfer agent, which is not an affiliate, a fee for issuance, transfer and redemption of shares and the opening and maintenance of shareholder accounts, which is included in transfer agent in the Statements of Operations. This voluntary reimbursement may be reduced or discontinued at any time.
For the six months ended November 30, 2015, affiliates earned underwriting discounts, direct commissions and dealer concessions on sales of the Funds’ Investor A Shares as follows:

8. Income Tax Information:
It is the Funds’ policy to comply with the requirements of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, applicable to regulated investment companies, and to distribute substantially all of their taxable income to their shareholders. Therefore, no federal income tax provision is required.
Each Fund files U.S. federal and various state and local tax returns. No income tax returns are currently under examination. The statute of limitations on each Fund’s U.S. federal tax returns remains open for each of the four years ended May 31, 2015. 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 has analyzed tax laws and regulations and their application to the Funds as of November 30, 2015, inclusive of the open tax return years, and does not believe there are any uncertain tax positions that require recognition of a tax liability in the Funds’ financial statements.
As of period end, the Funds had capital loss carryforwards available to offset future realized capital gains through the indicated expiration dates as follows:
| | | | | | | | |
Expires May 31, | | MFS Fund | | | Invesco Fund | |
2017 | | $ | 738,087 | | | | — | |

9. Bank 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, $2.1 billion credit agreement with a group of lenders, under which the Funds may borrow to fund shareholder redemptions. Excluding commitments designated for certain funds, the Participating Funds, including the Funds, can borrow up to an aggregate commitment amount of $1.6 billion at any time outstanding, subject to asset coverage and other limitations as specified in the agreement. The credit agreement has the following terms: a fee of 0.06% per annum on unused commitment amounts and interest at a rate equal to the higher of (a) one-month LIBOR (but, in any event, not less than 0.00%) on the date the loan is made plus 0.80% per annum or (b) the Fed Funds rate (but, in any event, not less than 0.00%) in effect from time to time plus 0.80% per annum on amounts borrowed. The agreement expires in April 2016 unless extended or renewed. Participating Funds paid administration, legal and arrangement fees, which, if applicable, are included in miscellaneous expenses in the Statements of Operations, and along with commitment fees, were allocated among such funds based upon portions of the aggregate commitment available to them and relative net assets of Participating Funds. During the six months ended November 30, 2015, the Funds did not borrow under the credit agreement.
10. Principal Risks:
Many municipalities insure repayment of their bonds, which may reduce the potential for loss due to credit risk. The market value of these bonds may fluctuate for other reasons, including market perception of the value of such insurance, and there is no guarantee that the insurer will meet its obligation.
Inventories of municipal bonds held by brokers and dealers may decrease, which would lessen their ability to make a market in these securities. Such a reduction in market making capacity could potentially decrease a Fund’s ability to buy or sell bonds. As a result, a Fund may sell a security at a lower price, sell other securities to raise cash, or give up an investment opportunity, any of which could have a negative impact on performance. If a Fund needed to sell large blocks of bonds, those sales could further reduce the bonds’ prices and impact performance.
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 to meet all its obligations, including the ability to pay principal and interest when due (issuer credit risk). The value of securities held by the Funds may decline in response to certain events, including those directly involving the issuers of securities owned by the Funds. Changes arising from the general economy, the overall market and local, regional or global political or/and social instability, as well as currency, interest rate and price fluctuations, may also affect the securities’ value.
Franklin Templeton Fund may be exposed to prepayment risk, which is the risk that borrowers may exercise their option to prepay principal earlier than scheduled during periods of declining interest rates, which would force the Fund to reinvest in lower yielding securities. The Fund may also be exposed to reinvestment risk, which is the risk that income from the Fund’s portfolio will decline if the Fund invests the proceeds from matured, traded or called fixed income securities at market interest rates that are below the Fund portfolio’s current earnings rate.
Counterparty Credit Risk: Similar to issuer credit risk, the Funds may be exposed to counterparty credit risk, or the risk that an entity may fail to or be unable to perform on its commitments related to unsettled or open transactions. The Funds manage counterparty credit risk by entering into transactions only with counterparties that the Manager believes have the financial resources to honor their obligations and by monitoring the financial stability of those counterparties. Financial assets, which potentially expose the 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 approximately their value recorded in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities, less any collateral held by the Funds.
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 less the value of 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 the Funds 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. The Funds may be exposed to counterparty credit risk with respect to options written to the extent the Funds deposit collateral with their counterparty to a written option.
With exchange-traded 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, credit risk is limited to failure of the clearinghouse. While offset rights may exist under applicable law, a Fund does not have a contractual right of offset against a clearing broker or clearinghouse in the event of a default (including the bankruptcy or insolvency). Additionally, credit risk 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, typically the shortfall would be allocated on a pro rata basis across all the clearing broker’s customers, potentially resulting in losses to the Funds.

Notes to Financial Statements (continued) | | |
Concentration Risk: As of period end, Marsico Fund invested a significant portion of its assets in securities in the information technology and consumer discretionary sectors. Invesco Fund invested a significant portion of its assets in securities in the financial sector. Changes in economic conditions affecting such sectors would have a greater impact on the Funds and could affect the value, income and/or liquidity of positions in such securities.
Franklin Templeton Fund invests a significant portion of its assets in fixed-income securities and/or use derivatives tied to the fixed-income markets. Changes in market interest rates or economic conditions may affect the value and/or liquidity of such investments. Interest rate risk is the risk that prices of bonds and other fixed-income securities will increase as interest rates fall and decrease as interest rates rise. The Fund may be subject to a greater risk of rising interest rates due to the current period of historically low rates.
MFS Fund invests a substantial amount of its assets in issuers located in a single country or a limited number of countries. When the 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 U.S. securities. Investment percentages in specific countries are presented in the Schedule of Investments.
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. These events may spread to other countries in Europe and may affect the value and liquidity of certain of the Fund’s investments.
As of period end, MFS Fund had the following industry classifications:
| | | | |
Industry | | Percent of Long-Term Investments | |
Banks | | | 17 | % |
Pharmaceuticals | | | 11 | |
Chemicals | | | 6 | |
Food Products | | | 5 | |
Other1 | | | 61 | |
| 1 | | All other industries held were each less than 5% of long-term investments. |
Franklin Templeton Fund invests a significant portion of its assets in securities backed by commercial or residential mortgage loans or in issuers that hold mortgage and other asset-backed securities. Investment percentages in these securities are presented in the Schedule of Investments. Changes in economic conditions, including delinquencies and/or defaults on assets underlying these securities, can affect the value, income and/or liquidity of such positions.

12. Subsequent Events:
Management’s evaluation of the impact of all subsequent events on the Funds’ financial statements was completed through the date the financial statements were issued and the following items were noted:
The Board approved the use of a manager of managers structure for each Fund (“Proposal 1”) and a replacement of the sub-advisor of the Marsico Fund from Marsico Capital Management, LLC (“Marsico”) to Janus Capital Management LLC (“Janus”) (“Proposal 2” and, together with Proposal 1, the “Proposals”). The Proposals were subject to approval by the respective Fund’s shareholders.
At a special meeting on November 25, 2015, shareholders of each of the MFS Fund and the Franklin Templeton Fund approved Proposal 1 with respect to their Fund. At a special meeting on December 17, 2015, shareholders of the Invesco Fund approved Proposal 1 with respect to their Fund and shareholders of the Marsico Fund approved both Proposals with respect to their Fund.
In connection with each Fund’s use of the manager of managers structure (together with the approval of Janus as the Marsico Fund’s new sub-advisor), the Board approved a change in the name of each Fund as follows:
| | |
Current Fund Name | | New Fund Name |
MFS Research International FDP Fund | | FDP BlackRock MFS Research International Fund |
Marsico Growth FDP Fund | | FDP BlackRock Janus Growth Fund |
Invesco Value FDP Fund | | FDP BlackRock Invesco Value Fund |
Franklin Templeton Total Return FDP Fund | | FDP BlackRock Franklin Templeton Total Return Fund |
Each of the Fund name changes and Janus’ replacement of Marsico as sub-advisor to the Growth Fund will take effect on or about the close of business on January 29, 2016.
