Fellow Shareholders,
The first half of 2011 reminded us that economic volatility continues for investors as concerns over the pace of global economic recovery, reoccurrences of sovereign debt worries, natural disasters, inflation fears along with a sharp rise in oil and other commodity prices impacted US and international markets.
The American Beacon Treasury Inflation Protected Securities (TIPS) Fund is designed to help investors address the inevitable fluctuation in the rate of inflation. Like so many of our funds, the TIPS Fund is conservatively managed for the long term; it invests primarily in high-quality inflation-protected government securities.
Over the six-month period ended June 30, 2011, the American Beacon Treasury Inflation Protected Securities Fund (Institutional Class) returned 5.23%.
While day-to-day volatility continues to influence the world’s equity and credit markets, American Beacon remains focused on seeking opportunities and meeting market challenges to deliver the type of consistency in performance and service our shareholders value.
Thank you for your continued investment in the American Beacon Funds. To obtain further details about the growing number of investment opportunities now available within the American Beacon Funds family or to access your account information, please visit our website at www.americanbeaconfunds.com.

Market Overview
June 30, 2011 (Unaudited)
2011 began much like 2010 with high levels of optimism surrounding the economic growth prospects for the United States. Unfortunately, that optimism was called into question early in the year by two important but unrelated events. The first was the growing level of political instability in the Middle East and North Africa that resulted in the overthrow of a ruling government in Egypt, a civil war in Libya and continued violence in several other countries. Given the region’s importance as a global exporter of petroleum, the instability resulted in oil prices increasing by over 25% from the February low. The spike in oil prices effectively neutralized the positive effects of fiscal stimulus passed late in 2010. The other significant event was the devastating earthquake in Japan on March 11 and the following catastrophe with the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant. Beyond the negative impact on confidence, the destruction of manufacturing capacity in Japan caused supply chain disruptions for American manufacturers. The “soft patch” for U.S. economic growth proved to be more pronounced than most expected as the 2nd quarter saw revived concerns over European financial health which served to add to the heightened levels of risk aversion and declining confidence on behalf of consumers and business.
TIPS performed well in the first half of 2011 as real yields peaked in early February and rallied by close to 70 basis points (0.70%) in response to slowing economic fundamentals. At the same time, the spike in gasoline prices boosted the inflation accrual, adding 2.8% to the total return for the first half. As of June, headline Consumer Price Index (“CPI”) was increasing at 3.6%. Besides the boost from oil and gas, core inflation has been steadily climbing in the first half driven by strong increases in apparel and used vehicle prices as well as steady increases in the housing component which is represented by the Owner’s Equivalent Rent category.
The supply and demand dynamics for TIPS were favorable in the first half which saw $65 billion in gross issuance and $35 billion in maturities. In addition, the second round of quantitative easing by the Federal Reserve was conducted in the first half in which they purchased $19 billion of TIPS in addition to the large purchases of nominal Treasuries.
Despite the strong nominal performance and favorable technicals, TIPS underperformed nominal Treasury securities over the first half as inflation expectations declined in response to slower economic growth. Following the spike in oil in the first quarter, TIPS break even inflation rates for 10 yrs bonds declined approximately 0.20% to end the first half at 2.45%.

The expense ratios above may vary from the expense ratios presented in other sections of this report that are based on expenses incurred during the period covered by this report. |
The Fund produced strong absolute returns for the six-month time period. TIPS rallied during the first half of 2011, amid sharp increases in commodity prices and a weakening U.S. Dollar.
From a yield curve positioning standpoint during the period, the Fund benefited from overweighting the 9-10 year maturities, but not enough to compensate from value lost through overweighting the 1-2 year maturities and underweighting the 8-9 year maturities, particularly during the second quarter as the real yield curve flattened.
From a duration perspective, a tactical short duration position initiated during May contributed to the Fund’s relative underperformance.

Fund Expenses
American Beacon Treasury Inflation Protected Securities FundSM
June 30, 2011 (Unaudited)
Fund Expense Example
As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees, administrative service fees, and other Fund expenses. The examples below are intended to help you understand the ongoing cost (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.
The examples are based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period from January 1, 2011 through June 30, 2011.
Actual Expenses
The “Actual” line of the table provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first line under the heading “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period. Shareholders that invest in the Fund through an IRA may be subject to a custodial IRA fee of $15 that is typically deducted each December. If your account was subject to a custodial IRA fee during the period, your costs would have been $15 higher.
Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes
The “Hypothetical” line of the table provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed 5% per year rate of return before expenses (not the Fund’s actual return). You may compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund with other funds by contrasting this 5% hypothetical example and the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. Shareholders that invest in the Fund through an IRA may be subject to a custodial IRA fee of $15 that is typically deducted each December. If you account was subject to a custodial IRA fee during the period, your cost would have been $15 higher.
You should also be aware that the expenses shown in the table highlight only your ongoing costs and do not reflect any transaction costs charged by the Fund. Similarly, the expense examples for other funds do not reflect any transaction costs charged by those funds, such as sales charges (loads), redemption fees or exchange fees. Therefore, the “Hypothetical” line of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. If you were subject to any transaction costs during the period, your costs would have been higher.

American Beacon Treasury Inflation Protected Securities Fund
Notes to Financial Statements
June 30, 2011 (Unaudited)
1. Organization and Significant Accounting Policies
American Beacon Funds (the “Trust”) which is comprised of 19 Funds, is organized as a Massachusetts business trust and is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, (the “Act”) as an open-end management investment company. These financial statements and notes to the financial statements relate to the American Beacon Treasury Inflation Protected Securities Fund (the “Fund”), a series of the Trust.
American Beacon Advisors, Inc. (the “Manager”) is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Lighthouse Holdings, Inc. and was organized in 1986 to provide business management, advisory, administrative and asset management consulting services to the Trust and other investors.
Class Disclosure
The Fund has multiple classes of shares designed to meet the needs of different groups of investors. The following table sets forth the differences amongst the classes:
| | |
Class: | | Offered to: |
Institutional Class | | Investors making an initial investment of $250,000 |
Y Class | | Investors making an initial investment of $100,000 |
Investor Class | | General public and investors investing through an intermediary |
A Class | | General public and investors investing through an intermediary with applicable sales charges |
C Class | | General public and investors investing through an intermediary with applicable sales charges |
Administrative service fees, service fees and distribution fees vary amongst the classes as described more fully in footnote 2.
Security Valuation
Investments are valued at the close of the New York Stock Exchange (the “Exchange”), normally 4 p.m. ET, each day that the Exchange is open for business.
Debt securities (other than short-term securities) normally are valued on the basis of prices provided by an independent pricing service and may take into account appropriate factors such as institution-size trading in similar groups of securities, yield, quality, coupon rate, maturity, type of issue, trading characteristics and other market data. The prices of debt securities may be determined using quotes obtained from brokers.
Investments in mutual funds are valued at the closing net asset value per share of the mutual fund on the day of valuation. Investment grade short-term obligations with 60 days or less to maturity are valued using the amortized cost method, which approximates fair value.
Securities for which market prices are not readily available or are not reflective of the fair value of the security, as determined by the Manager, will be priced at fair value following procedures approved by the Board of Trustees (the “Board”).
Valuation Inputs
Various inputs may be used to determine the value of the Fund’s investments. These inputs are summarized in three broad levels for financial statement purposes. The inputs or methodologies used to value securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.
Level 1 — Quoted prices in active markets for identical securities.
10
American Beacon Treasury Inflation Protected Securities Fund
Notes to Financial Statements
June 30, 2011 (Unaudited)
Level 2 — Prices determined using other significant observable inputs. These may include quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, and others. Level 2 securities are fixed-income securities that are valued using observable inputs as stated above.
Level 3 — Prices determined using significant unobservable inputs. Unobservable inputs reflect the Fund’s own assumptions about the factors market participants would use in pricing an investment, and would be based on the best information available.
The Fund’s investments are summarized by level based on the inputs used to determine their values. During the period there were no transfers between levels. As of June 30, 2011 the Fund’s investments were classified as follows (in thousands):
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | Level 1 | | | Level 2 | | | Level 3 | | | Total | |
U.S. Treasury Obligations | | $ | — | | | $ | 211,342 | | | $ | — | | | $ | 211,342 | |
Short-Term Investments | | | 9,442 | | | | — | | | | — | | | | 9,442 | |
| | | | | | | | | | | | |
Total Investments | | | 9,442 | | | | 211,342 | | | | — | | | | 220,784 | |
Security Transactions and Investment Income
Security transactions are recorded on the trade date of the security purchase or sale. The Fund may purchase securities with delivery or payment to occur at a later date. At the time the Fund enters into a commitment to purchase a security, the transaction is recorded, and the value of the security is reflected in the net asset value. The value of the security may vary with market fluctuations.
Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date. Interest income is earned from settlement date, recorded on the accrual basis, and adjusted, if necessary, for accretion of discounts and amortization of premiums. For financial and tax reporting purposes, realized gains and losses are determined on the basis of specific lot identification.
Inflation-indexed bonds are fixed-income securities whose principal value is periodically adjusted to the rate of inflation. Interest is accrued based on the principal value, which is adjusted for inflation. Any increase in the principal amount of an inflation-indexed bond is recorded as interest income, even though principal is not received until maturity.
Dividends to Shareholders
Dividends from net investment income of the Fund normally will be declared and paid at least semi-annually. Distributions, if any, of net realized capital gains are generally paid at least annually and recorded on the ex-dividend date.
Allocation of Income, Expenses, Gains, and Losses
Income, expenses (other than those attributable to a specific class), gains, and losses are allocated daily to each class of shares based up on the relative proportion of net assets represented by such class. Operating expenses directly attributable to a specific class are charged against the operations of that class.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results may differ from those estimated.

Other
Under the Trust’s organizational documents, its officers and directors are indemnified against certain liability arising out of the performance of their duties to the Trust. In the normal course of business, the Trust enters into contracts that provide indemnification to the other party or parties against potential costs or liabilities. The Trust’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is dependent on claims that may be made in the future and, therefore, cannot be estimated. The Trust has had no prior claims or losses pursuant to any such agreement.
2. Transactions with Affiliates
Management Agreement
The Trust and the Manager are parties to a Management Agreement that obligates the Manager to provide or oversee the provision of all investment advisory and portfolio management services. Investment assets of the Fund may be managed by multiple investment advisors which have entered into separate investment advisory agreements with the Manager. As compensation for performing the duties required under the Management Agreement, the Manager receives from the Fund an annualized fee equal to 0.05% of the average daily net assets plus amounts paid by the Manager to the investment advisors hired by the Manager to direct investment activities of the Fund. Management fees paid during the six months ended June 30, 2011 were as follows:
| | | | | | |
| | | | Amounts paid to | | |
Management Fee | | | | Investment | | Net Amounts Retained |
Rate | | Management Fee | | Advisors | | by Manager |
0.15%-0.19% | | $103,316 | | $58,995 | | $44,321 |
Administrative Services Agreement
The Manager and the Trust entered into an Administrative Services Agreement which obligates the Manager to provide or oversee administrative services to the Fund. As compensation for performing the duties required under the Administrative Services Agreement, the Manager receives an annualized fee of 0.15% of the average daily net assets of the Institutional Class, 0.30% of the average daily net assets of the Y and Investor Classes and 0.40% of the average daily net assets of the A and C Classes of the Fund. Administrative service fees for the C Class, for the six months ended June 30, 2011, were less than $500.
Distribution Plans
The Trust, except for the A Class of the Fund, has adopted a “defensive” Distribution Plan (the “Plan”) in accordance with Rule 12b-1 under the Act, pursuant to which no fees may be charged to the Fund for distribution purposes. However, the Plan authorizes the management and administrative service fees received by the Manager and the investment advisors hired by the Manager to be used for distribution purposes. Under this Plan, the Trust does not intend to compensate the Manager or any other party, either directly or indirectly, for the distribution of Trust shares.
A separate Distribution Plan (the “Distribution Plan”) has been adopted pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the Act for the A and C Classes of the Fund. Under the Distribution Plan, as compensation for distribution assistance, the Manager receives an annual fee of 0.25% of the average daily net assets of the A Class and 1.00% of the average daily net assets of the C Classes of the Fund. The fee will be payable without regard to whether the amount of the fee is more or less than the actual expenses incurred in a particular month by the Manager for distribution assistance. Distribution fees for the A Class, for the six months ended June 30, 2011, were less than $500.

Services Plan
The Manager and the Trust entered into a Service Plan which obligates the Manager to oversee additional shareholder servicing of the Y, Investor, A, and C Classes of the Fund. As compensation for performing the duties required under the Service Plan, the Manager receives an annualized fee of 0.10% of the average daily net assets of the Y Class, 0.15% of the average daily net assets of the A and C Classes, and up to 0.375% of the average daily net assets of the Investor Class of the Fund. Service fees for the Y, A, and C Classes for the six months ended June 30, 2011 were less than $500.
Interfund Lending Program
Pursuant to an exemptive order by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), the Fund, along with other registered investment companies having management contracts with the Manager, may participate in an interfund lending program as a borrower. This program provides an alternative credit facility allowing the Fund to borrow from other participating Funds. For the six months ended June 30, 2011, the Fund did not utilize the credit facility.
Reimbursement of Expenses
The Manager voluntarily agreed to reimburse a portion of its Administrative Service fee for the Institutional Class and other expenses of the Y, Investor, A, and C Classes. For the six months ended June 30, 2011, the Manager reimbursed expenses of $80,171, $1,648, $8,893, $1,655, and $1,647 for the Institutional, Y, Investor, A, and C Classes, respectively.
The Fund has adopted an Expense Reimbursement Plan whereby the Manager may seek repayment of fees waived or expenses reimbursed for a period of up to three years. However, reimbursement will occur only if the Class’s average net assets have grown or expenses have declined sufficiently to allow reimbursement without causing its expense ratio to exceed the previously agreed upon contractual expense limit. The Fund has not recorded a liability for potential reimbursement, due to the current assessment that a reimbursement is unlikely.
Sales Commissions
The Fund’s distributor, Foreside Fund Services, LLC (“Foreside”) may receive a portion of A Class sales charges from broker dealers and it may be used to offset expenses that the Manager pays to Foreside. For the six months ended June 30, 2011, there has been $493 in sales commissions from the sale of Class A shares that were received by Foreside.
3. Federal Income and Excise Taxes
It is the policy of the Fund to qualify as a regulated investment company, by complying with all applicable provisions of the Internal Revenue Code, and to make distribution of taxable income sufficient to relieve it from substantially all federal income and excise taxes. For federal income tax purposes, the Fund is treated as a single entity for the purpose of determining such qualification.
The Fund does not have any unrecognized tax benefits in the accompanying financial statements. Each of the tax years in the four year period ended December 31, 2010, remains subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service. If applicable, the Fund recognizes interest accrued related to unrecognized tax benefits in interest expense and penalties in “Other expenses” on the Statement of Operations.
Dividends are categorized in accordance with income tax regulations which may treat certain transactions differently than U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. Accordingly, the character of
13

distributions and composition of net assets for tax purposes may differ from those reflected in the accompanying financial statements.
The tax character of distributions paid during the period ended June 30, 2011 and the fiscal year ended December 31, 2010 were as follows (in thousands):
Distributions paid from ordinary income*:

Total taxable distributions | | | — | | | $ | 2,884 | |
| | | | | | |
| | |
* | | For tax purposes, short-term capital gains distributions are considered ordinary income distributions. |
As of June 30, 2011, the components of distributable earnings on a tax basis were as follows (in thousands):
| | | | |
|
Cost basis of investments for federal income tax purposes | | $ | 219,742 | |
| | | | |
Unrealized appreciation | | | 1,783 | |
Unrealized depreciation | | | (741 | ) |

Other temporary differences | | | — | |
| | | |
| | | | |
Distributable earnings | | $ | 1,638 | |
| | | |
Financial reporting records are adjusted for permanent book/tax differences to reflect tax character. Financial records are not adjusted for temporary differences. The temporary differences between financial reporting and tax-basis reporting of unrealized appreciation/(depreciation) are attributable primarily to the tax deferral of losses from wash. Due to inherent differences in the recognition of income, expenses and realized gains/(losses) under U.S. generally accepted accounting principles and federal income tax regulations, permanent differences between book and tax reporting have been identified and appropriately reclassified on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities.
Accordingly, the following amounts represent current year permanent differences that have been reclassified as of June 30, 2011 (in thousands):
| | | | |
|
Paid in capital | | $ | 2 | |
Undistributed net investment income | | | (1 | ) |
Accumulated net realized gain (loss) | | | (1 | ) |
Unrealized appreciation (depreciation) of investments and foreign currency | | | — | |
At June 30, 2011, the capital loss carry forward positions for federal income tax purposes were $1,997 and $5,368 expiring in 2016 and 2017, respectively (in thousands). The Fund utilized $11,794 (in thousands) of net capital loss carryovers for the six months ended June 30, 2011.
4. Investment Transactions
Purchases and proceeds from sales of investments for the six months ended June 30, 2011, excluding short-term investments, were $332,914,205 and $290,868,883, respectively. These amounts also represent purchases and sales of U.S. Government securities.

Disclosure Regarding the Board of Trustees’ Approval of the Management Agreements and Investment Advisory Agreements of the Funds
(Unaudited)
At its May 26, 2011 meeting, the Board of Trustees (“Board”) considered the renewal of each Management Agreement between the Manager and the American Beacon Funds (“Beacon Trust”) and the renewal of each investment advisory agreement between the Manager and each subadvisor (each an “Investment Advisory Agreement”). The Management Agreement and the Investment Advisory Agreements are collectively referred to herein as the “Agreements.” In preparation for the Board’s consideration to renew these Agreements, the Board and its Investment Committee undertook steps to gather and consider information furnished by the Manager, the subadvisors and Lipper, Inc. (“Lipper”). The Board, with the assistance of independent legal counsel, requested and received certain relevant information from the Manager and each subadvisor.
In addition, the Board’s Investment Committee worked with Lipper to obtain relevant comparative information regarding the performance, fees and expenses of the Funds. The Investment Committee held a separate meeting on May 11, 2011 to consider the information provided by Lipper. Further, the Board took into consideration information furnished for the Board’s review and consideration throughout the year at regular Board and Investment Committee meetings, as well as information specifically prepared in connection with the renewal process.
In connection with the Board’s consideration of the Management Agreement and each Investment Advisory Agreement, the Trustees considered, among other materials, responses by the Manager and the subadvisors to inquiries requesting:
| • | | a description of any significant changes (actual or anticipated) to principal activities, personnel, services provided to the Funds, or any other area, including how these changes might affect the Funds; |

(Unaudited)
| • | | a discussion of any anticipated change in the firm’s controlling persons; and |
|
| • | | verification of the firm’s insurance coverage with regards to the services provided to the Funds. |
In addition to the foregoing, the Manager provided the following information specific to the renewal of the Management Agreement:
| • | | a comparison of the performance of each Fund to comparable investment companies and appropriate indices, including comments on the relative performance of, as applicable, each subadvisor and each Fund versus the respective peer group average; |
|
| • | | a discussion, if applicable, of any underperformance by a subadvisor relative to its peer group and what, if any, remedial measures the Manager has or intends to take; |
|
| • | | a comparison of advisory fee rates and expense ratios for comparable mutual funds; |

| • | | a profit/loss analysis of the Manager; |
|
| • | | an analysis of any material complaints received from Fund shareholders; |
|
| • | | a description of the extent to which the Manager monitors the investment activities and financial conditions of each subadvisor to the Funds; |
|
| • | | a description of the Manager’s distribution activities with respect to promoting sales of Fund shares, including any revenue sharing practices; |

|
| • | | a description of the portfolio turnover rate and average execution costs for each Fund and, as applicable, each subadvisor to a Fund; and |
|
| • | | a description of how expenses that are not readily identifiable to a particular Fund are allocated. |
In connection with the Management Agreement and each Investment Advisory Agreement, the Board also obtained an analysis provided by Lipper that compared: (i) investment performance of each Fund versus comparable mutual funds and appropriate indices; (ii) total Fund expenses of each Fund versus comparable mutual funds; and (iii) each Fund’s investment advisory fee rate versus comparable mutual funds. For each Fund with more than one class of shares, the class of shares used for comparative purposes was the class with the longest performance history, which in most cases was the Institutional Class. References below to each Fund’s Lipper peer group are to the group of comparable mutual funds included in the analysis provided by Lipper.
Provided below is an overview of the primary factors the Trustees considered at the Investment Committee meeting on May 11, 2011 at which the Trustees reviewed the investment performance of the Manager and each subadvisor and the primary factors considered by the Board at its May 26, 2011 meeting at which the Board considered the renewal of the Management Agreement and Investment Advisory Agreements.
The Board did not identify any particular information that was most relevant to its consideration to renew each Agreement, and each Trustee may have afforded different weight to the various factors. Legal counsel to the independent Trustees provided the Board with a memorandum regarding its responsibilities pertaining to the renewal of each Agreement. The memorandum explained the regulatory requirements surrounding the Trustees’ process for evaluating investment advisors and the terms of the contracts. Based on its evaluation, the Board unanimously concluded that the terms of each Agreement were reasonable and fair and that the renewal of each Agreement was in the best interests of the Funds and their shareholders.
I. | | Considerations With Respect to the Renewal of the Management Agreement and each Investment Advisory Agreement |
In determining whether to renew the Management Agreement and each Investment Advisory Agreement on behalf of the Funds, the Trustees considered the best interests of each Fund separately. While the Management Agreement and the Investment Advisory Agreements for all of the Funds were considered at the May 26, 2011 meeting, the Board considered each Fund’s investment management and subadvisory relationships separately.
In each instance, the Board considered, among other things, the following factors: (1) the nature and quality of the services provided; (2) the investment performance of a Fund and, as applicable, each subadvisor for a Fund; (3) the costs incurred by the Manager in rendering services to the Funds and its resulting profits or losses; (4) the extent to which economies of scale have been taken into account in setting each fee schedule; (5) whether fee levels reflect these economies of scale for the benefit of Fund investors; (6) comparisons of services and fee rates with contracts entered into by the Manager or a subadvisor or their affiliates with other clients (such as pension funds and other institutional funds); and (7) any other benefits derived or anticipated to be derived by the Manager or a subadvisor from their relationship with a Fund. The Trustees posed questions to various management personnel of the Manager regarding certain key aspects of the materials submitted in support of the renewal.
Nature, Extent and Quality of Services. With respect to the renewal of the Management Agreement, the Board considered, among other factors: each Fund’s generally favorable long-term performance and the background and experience of key investment
19
Disclosure Regarding the Board of Trustees’ Approval of the Management Agreements and Investment Advisory Agreements of the Funds
(Unaudited)
personnel at the Manager; the low cost structure of the Funds; the Manager’s culture of compliance and support for compliance operations that reduce risks to the Funds; the manager’s commitment to increase assets in the Funds as demonstrated, for example, by the continued increase in sales personnel; the Manager’s continuing efforts to add new series and share classes to enhance the Funds’ product line; the Manager’s high quality of services; the Manager’s active role in monitoring and, as appropriate recommending additional or replacement subadvisors; the Manager’s commitment to increasing the number and training employees in conjunction with the Manager’s product expansion; and efforts made by the Manager to retain key employees.
With respect to the renewal of each Investment Advisory Agreement, the Trustees considered the background and experience of each subadvisor’s investment personnel responsible for managing the Funds, the size of the subadvisor and the subadvisor’s ability to continue to attract and retain qualified investment personnel. Based on the foregoing information, the Board concluded that the nature, extent and quality of the management and advisory services provided by the Manager and each subadvisor were appropriate for each Fund and, thus, determined to renew the Management Agreement and the Investment Advisory Agreement for each Fund.
Investment Performance. The Board evaluated the comparative information provided by Lipper and the Manager regarding each Fund’s investment performance relative to its benchmark index(es) and peer group. The Board considered the information provided by Lipper regarding its independent peer selection methodology to select all peer groups and universes. The Board also considered the performance reports and discussions with management at Board and Committee meetings throughout the year. The Manager also noted that it generally was satisfied with the performance of the subadvisors. A discussion regarding the Board’s considerations with respect to each Fund’s performance appears below under “Additional Considerations and Conclusions with Respect to Each Fund.”
Costs of the Services Provided to the Funds and the Profits Realized by the Manager from its Relationship with the Funds. In analyzing the cost of services and profitability of the Manager, the Board considered the revenues earned and the expenses incurred by the Manager. The profits or losses were noted at both an individual Fund level and at an aggregate level for all Funds. Although the Board noted that, in certain cases, the fee rates paid by other clients is lower than the fee rates paid by the Funds, the difference reflects the greater level of responsibility and regulatory requirements associated with managing the Funds.
The Board also noted that the Manager proposed to continue the expense waivers and reimbursements for certain Funds and classes that were in place during the last fiscal year and to put in place new expense waivers and reimbursements for certain new classes of the Funds and new series of the Beacon Trust. The Board further considered that each subadvised Fund pays the Manager the amounts due to its subadvisors, and the Manager remits these amounts directly to the applicable subadvisors. The Board considered that the Manager receives service and administrative fees to compensate the Manager for providing administrative services to the Funds and to compensate third-party administrators and broker-dealers for services to Fund shareholders. In addition, the Board considered that the Manager receives management fees for overseeing the securities lending program on behalf of various Funds. The Board also noted that certain classes of the Funds maintain higher expense ratios in order to compensate third-party distributors.
In analyzing the cost of services and profitability for each subadvisor in connection with its investment advisory services to the Fund, the Board considered that, in many cases, the Manager has negotiated the lowest subadvisory fee rate a subadvisor charges for any comparable client accounts. The Board did not consider profitability data of the subadvisors as imperative to its deliberations given the arm’s length nature of the relationship between the Manager and the subadvisors with respect to the negotiation of subadvisory fee rates.
Based on the foregoing information, the Board concluded that the profitability levels of the Manager were reasonable in light of the services performed by the Manager. A discussion regarding the Board’s considerations with respect to each Fund’s fee rates is set forth below under “Additional Considerations and Conclusions with Respect to Each Fund.”
Economies of Scale. In considering the reasonableness of the management and investment advisory fees rates, the Board considered whether economies of scale will be realized as the Funds grow and whether fee levels reflect these economies of scale for the benefit of Fund shareholders. In this regard, the Board considered that the Manager has negotiated breakpoints in many subadvisory fee rates. The Board also noted that, for purposes of determining the fee rates chargeable to the Funds, many subadvisors have agreed to take into account assets of AMR Corporation and its pension plans that are managed by the subadvisors. Thus, the Funds are able to receive lower effective fee rates. The Board also noted the Manager’s representation that assets in the Funds’ complex increased during 2010, primarily due to market appreciation.
In addition, the Board noted the Manager’s representation that many of the Funds benefit from economies of scale because comparably low fee rate levels are reflected in the current management and administration fee rates the Manager charges. The Board further noted the Manager’s representation that many of the Funds benefit from these comparably low fee rate levels despite not having yet reached an asset size at which economies of scale would traditionally be considered to exist, and the Manager’s belief that that breakpoints are not appropriate at this time. Based on the foregoing information, the Board concluded that the Manager and subadvisor fee schedules for each Fund provides for a reasonable sharing of benefits from any economies of scale with the Funds.
Benefits Derived from the Relationship with the Funds. The Board considered the “fall-out” or ancillary benefits that accrue to the Manager and/or the subadvisors as a result of the advisory relationships with the Funds, including greater exposure in the marketplace with respect to the Manager’s or subadvisor’s investment process and expanding the level of assets under management by the Manager and the subadvisors. The Board also considered that the Manager will use its proprietary Large Cap Value Fund model to manage its collective investment trust.
In addition, the Manager noted that the Trusts also derive benefits from their association with the Manager. Specifically, the Board noted the Manager’s representation that it provides services to most Funds at a lower than industry average cost. The Board
20

(Unaudited)
considered that certain of the subadvisors reimburse the Manager for certain of its costs relating to distribution activities for the Funds. The Board also considered that the Funds did not pay commissions to any affiliated broker-dealer of the Manager or the relevant subadvisor during the most recent fiscal year ended December 31, 2010.
Based on the foregoing information, the Board concluded that the potential benefits accruing to the Manager and the subadvisors by virtue of their relationships with the Funds appear to be fair and reasonable.
Additional Considerations and Conclusions with Respect to the Treasury Inflation Protected Securities Fund
The performance comparisons below were made versus each Fund’s Lipper peer universe median. References to the Lipper expense universe below are to the universe of comparable mutual funds included in the analysis provided to the Trustees by Lipper.
In considering the renewal of the Management Agreement for the Treasury Inflation Protected Securities Fund, the Trustees considered the following additional factors: (1) the Treasury Inflation Protected Securities Fund outperformed or performed in-line with the peer universe median for the three- and five-year periods ended March 31, 2011, but underperformed for the one-year period; and (2) the expense ratio of the Institutional Class of Fund shares was the lowest of its Lipper expense universe.
In considering the renewal of the Investment Advisory Agreement with NISA Investment Advisors LLC (“NISA”) and Standish Mellon Asset Management LLC (“Standish”), the Trustees considered the following additional factors: (1) NISA outperformed the peer universe median for the three- and five-year periods ended March 31, 2011, but underperformed for the one-year period; (2) Standish was added as a subadvisor in December 2009 and underperformed the peer universe median for the one-year period ended March 31, 2011; (3) the performance of each subadvisor with respect to the portion of the Fund’s assets it manages was comparable to the performance of similar accounts managed by the subadvisor; (4) representations by each subadvisor regarding fee rates charged by the subadvisor to other comparable clients; (5) whether each subadvisor uses Fund commissions to obtain proprietary or third-party research; and (6) the Manager’s recommendation to continue to retain each subadvisor.
Based on these and other considerations, the Trustees (1) concluded that the fees paid to the Manager and the subadvisors under the Agreements are fair and reasonable, (2) determined that the Treasury Inflation Protected Securities Fund and its shareholders would benefit from the Manager’s and subadvisors’ continued management of the Fund and (3) approved the renewal of the Management and Investment Advisory Agreements with respect to the Treasury Inflation Protected Securities Fund.

American Beacon Funds | | June 30, 2011 |
Fellow Shareholders,
During the last six months, U.S. and International equity markets experienced an upswing, despite concerns over the pace of global economic recovery, reoccurrences of sovereign debt worries, natural disasters, inflation fears along with a sharp rise in oil and other commodity prices. Though challenging, these factors were offset by increasing reports of strength in corporate earnings, improving confidence levels and investors increasing their investment in riskier assets.
For the six-month period ended June 30, 2011, the American Beacon S&P 500 Index Fund (Institutional Class) returned 5.90%, the American Beacon Small Cap Index Fund (Institutional Class) returned 5.93%, and the American Beacon International Equity Index Fund (Institutional Class) finished the reporting period returning 5.37%.
While day-to-day volatility continues to influence the world’s equity and credit markets, American Beacon remains focused on seeking opportunities and meeting market challenges to deliver the type of consistency in performance and service our shareholders value.
Thank you for your continued investment in the American Beacon Funds. To obtain further details about the growing number of investment opportunities now available within the American Beacon Funds family or to access your account information, please visit our website at www.americanbeaconfunds.com.

| Sincerely, | |

| Gene L. Needles, Jr. President American Beacon Funds | |

Investing in the securities of small capitalization companies involves greater risk and the possibility of greater price volatility than investing in larger capitalization and more established companies. Investing in foreign equities entails additional risk not associated with domestic equities, such as currency fluctuations, economic and political instability, and differences in accounting standards.

Performance Summary provided by SSgA Funds Management, Inc.
Apart from mild choppiness in January for smaller stocks, U.S. equities worked their way steadily higher in the first seven weeks of 2011, emboldened by solid profit reports and ongoing liquidity from the Federal Reserve. Only when Libyan violence erupted in late February, spurring a leap in oil and gasoline prices, did U.S. averages stumble in a meaningful way. Amid fresh concerns over the resilience of consumer spending, share prices slumped into early March, and when the broader scope of the devastation and nuclear aftermath from events in Japan became evident, the S&P 500 briefly slipped into the red on a year-to-date basis. But on Sunday March 20, communications powerhouse AT&T announced it had struck a deal to acquire T-Mobile from Deutsche Telekom. While the $39 billion price tag seemed more than generous, investors quickly focused on the enhanced pricing power that might accrue to the merged entity and its fewer remaining competitors. Furthermore, the ready arrangement of financing for such a huge outlay served notice to investors that the market climate remained favorable for buying, and the S&P 500 resumed the docile upward trading pattern that had prevailed through much of December and January. Although the S&P 500 did not surpass its highs of mid-February, it did provide a nominal gain for March, finishing the opening quarter of 2011 with a solid 5.9% return.
Although U.S. equities hesitated in early April amid a dip in the Institute of Supply Management services index and a slump in small business confidence, a steady diet of healthy first-quarter earnings reports easily got share prices back on track. There were signs of malaise beneath the surface, however, as defensive sectors were starting to perform better and smaller stocks did not recover their swagger as readily as they had during the March volatility that was linked to Japan. The new vulnerabilities came home to roost during May, when weekly jobless claims surged and housing data deteriorated afresh. Share prices continued to slide through most of June, as the unemployment rate rebounded to 9.1%, its highest level of 2011, and consumer price inflation reached 3.6%, its highest point since October 2008. Core inflation also continued its steady climb, damping investor hopes that the Federal Reserve might soon introduce a new round of asset purchases after the expiration of QE2 at the end of June. The only relief for equity holders came late in the month with the announcement that crude oil in storage would be allocated to the marketplace. Developments in Europe provided an additional

boost to sentiment, as competing interests seemed to come together on a financing plan for Greece that would buy the country at least a few months of time to shore up its budget. The late June rally in U.S. stocks was sharp enough that the S&P 500, which still lost 1.7% for the month, eked out a marginal second-quarter gain of 0.1% that lifted its year-to-date return to a thoroughly respectable 6.0%.
For the six-month period, nine out of the ten S&P 500 sectors finished with positive returns. Leading the charge were the Health Care, Energy and Industrials sectors contributing about 3.78% gains to the total return of the S&P 500. The Financials sector was the biggest detractor to performance with a negative impact to the Index followed by the Materials and Telecommunications Services sectors contributing modest gains. At the corporate level, Exxon Mobil Corp. provided the biggest boost to the index followed by International Business Machines, Pfizer Inc., Chevron Corp. and UnitedHealth Group Inc. On the other side of the scale financial and technology stocks dragged returns with Cisco Systems Inc. being the largest detractor to overall performance followed by Bank of America Corp., Google Inc., The Goldman Sachs Group Inc. and Citigroup Inc.
Portfolio Strategy
The investment manager continues to utilize a replication strategy, owning all 500 names in the S&P 500 Index in approximately the same weightings as the Index. Therefore, the Fund is expected to continue to meet its objective of closely tracking, before expenses, the return of its benchmark, the S&P 500 Index.

Performance Summary provided by BlackRock Investment Management, LLC
U.S. equity markets began the year on an upswing. Confidence levels were improving, the economy was recovering and investors were increasing their holdings of riskier assets. U.S. stocks moved higher during the first four months of 2011 and despite market weakness in the final two months of the period, U.S. stocks advanced year-to-date. Large cap stocks, as represented by the S&P 500 Index, gained 6.02%. Large cap growth stocks outperformed their value counterparts as the S&P 500 Growth Index moved up 6.79%, while the S&P 500 Value Index returned 5.23%. Small cap stocks, as represented by the Russell 2000 Index, climbed 6.21% for the period. The disparity between growth and value stocks was more pronounced within small caps as the Russell 2000 Growth Index advanced 8.59%, while the Russell 2000 Value Index returned 3.77%.
Sector performance was overall positive over the period. The Telecommunications Services sector (+18.60%) was the top contributor during the period. The Health Care sector (+13.06%) and Consumer Staples sector (+11.29%) posted strong gains as investors favored the more defensive stocks amid increasing uncertainty. The Energy sector (+11.04%) was also a strong performer, benefitting from the surge in energy prices during the first half of the year.
The Financials sector (+0.64%) lagged the other sectors amid renewed sovereign debt concerns, with the banking industry taking the hardest hit. The Industrials (+3.48%) and Consumer Discretionary sectors (+5.08%) while both in positive territory, contributed the least behind Financials over the first half of the year.
Portfolio Strategy
The Fund will continue to strive to meet its objective of closely replicating, before expenses, the return of its benchmark, the Russell 2000 Index. It does so by investing in a subset of the securities in the Index such that the characteristics of the portfolio closely track the characteristics of the Index.

Performance Summary provided by BlackRock Investment Management, LLC
Stocks moved higher during the first four months of 2011 despite volatility from significant global events. The period began with political turmoil spreading across the Middle East/North Africa region and a sharp rise in oil and other commodity prices. March brought devastating natural disasters that left Japan with massive infrastructure damage and a nuclear crisis. In April, Standard & Poor’s changed its ratings outlook for long-term U.S. and Japanese debt from stable to negative. But equity markets charged forward as investors chose to focus on the continuing stream of strong corporate earnings reports.
Meanwhile, longer-term headwinds had been brewing beneath the surface. Inflationary pressures intensified in emerging economies, many of which were overheating, and the European debt crisis was not over. Financial markets were met with a sharp reversal in May when political unrest in Greece pushed the nation closer to defaulting on its debt. This development rekindled fears about the broader sovereign debt crisis in Europe and its further contagion among peripheral countries. Concurrently, it became evident that the pace of global economic growth had slowed. The impact of higher oil prices and supply chain disruptions in Japan finally surfaced in weak economic data. Investors pulled back from riskier assets amid heightened uncertainty and equity markets experienced a correction throughout most of May and June. The last week of June brought a sharp rally on encouraging data from the U.S. manufacturing sector and Germany’s decision to support the refinancing of Greece’s public debt. Stock markets in most countries of the Index posted gains for the six-month period.
For the first six months of the year, among developed markets, Ireland (+17.50%) delivered the strongest returns in the wake of its November 2010 bailout. In May, Portugal (+9.05%) became the third euro-zone nation to require a bailout (after Greece and Ireland), while the heavily indebted Spain (+15.71%) and Italy (+10.73%) moved into the spotlight. Greek stocks (-3.83%), which had topped the index in the first quarter, reversed sharply in the second quarter as it became apparent that the nation would again require financial assistance.
Elsewhere in Europe, German stocks (+14.23%) were regarded as safe haven investments amid the region’s ongoing financial instability. Germany remains the economic powerhouse of Europe, driven by the nation’s advanced technology and engineering and its exports of superior products and services. Stock markets in France (+15.55%), the second-largest economy in the European Union, also performed well. In the United Kingdom (+5.59%), economic growth slowed despite

loose monetary policy from the Bank of England. Significant levels of consumer deleveraging, high rates of inflation and unemployment, and disappointing gross domestic product reports hindered appreciation in U.K. stocks, especially in the banking industry.
In other parts of the world, Japanese stocks (-4.73%) declined as industrial production slowed in the aftermath of the March earthquake and tsunami. Turmoil in the Middle East pushed stocks in Israel (-7.68%) to the bottom of the Index for the period.
On a sector basis, Health Care stocks (+10.73%) delivered the strongest performance in the Index, driven by increased merger and acquisition activity in Europe. Telecommunications Services (+8.82%) also provided strong returns, as did Energy stocks (+7.66%), which benefited from soaring oil prices earlier in the period. The more defensive Consumer Staples sector (+7.62%) saw greater price appreciation later in the period as economic data softened. Growth in the Financials sector (+3.71%) was limited due to heightened concerns about the sovereign debt crisis.
Information Technology (-2.12%) and Utilities (-1.13%) were the only sectors that declined during the period. Materials (+2.80%), while positive, was the least positive contributing sector over the period.

The Fund continues to pursue its objective of closely replicating, before expenses, the return of its benchmark, the MSCI EAFE Index. It does so by investing in a subset of the securities in the Index such that the characteristics of the portfolio closely track the characteristics of the Index.

Fund Expenses
June 30, 2011 (Unaudited)
Fund Expense Example
As a shareholder of a Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees, administrative service fees, and other Fund expenses. The examples below are intended to help you understand the ongoing cost (in dollars) of investing in a particular Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds. The examples are based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period from January 1, 2011 through June 30, 2011.
Actual Expenses
The following table provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this table, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the “Expenses Paid During Period” row to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period. Shareholders of the Institutional and Investor Classes that invest in a Fund through an IRA may be subject to a custodial IRA fee of $15 that is typically deducted each December. If your account was subject to a custodial IRA fee during the period, your costs would have been $15 higher.

Expenses Paid During Period* 1/1/11 — 6/30/11 | | $ | 3.31 | |
Annualized Expense Ratio | | | 0.65 | % |
Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes
The following table provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on a Fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed 5% per year rate of return before expenses (not the Fund’s actual return). You may compare the ongoing costs of investing in a particular Fund with other funds by contrasting this 5% hypothetical example and the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. Shareholders of the Institutional and Investor Classes that invest in a Fund through an IRA may be subject to a custodial IRA fee of $15 that is typically deducted each December. If your account was subject to a custodial IRA fee during the period, your costs would have been $15 higher.
You should also be aware that the expenses shown in the table highlight only your ongoing costs and do not reflect any transaction costs charged by a Fund. Similarly, the expense examples for other funds do not reflect any transaction costs charged by those funds, such as sales charges (loads), redemption fees or exchange fees. Therefore, the “Expenses Paid During Period” line of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. If you were subject to any transaction costs during the period, your costs would have been higher.

1. Organization and Significant Accounting Policies
American Beacon Funds (the “Trust”) is organized as a Massachusetts business trust and is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the “Act”), as amended, as an open-end management investment company. These financial statements and notes to the financial statements relate to the American Beacon S&P 500 Index Fund, the American Beacon Small Cap Index Fund and the American Beacon International Equity Index Fund (each a “Fund” and collectively, the “Funds”), each a series of the Trust.
American Beacon Advisors, Inc. (the “Manager”) is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Lighthouse Holdings, Inc. and was organized in 1986 to provide business management, advisory, administrative and asset management consulting services to the Trust and other investors.
Each Fund invests all of its investable assets in a corresponding portfolio. The State Street Equity 500 Index Portfolio, Master Small Cap Index Series and the Master International Index Series (each a “Portfolio” and collectively the “Portfolios”) are open-ended management investment companies registered under the Act. The value of such investment reflects each Fund’s proportionate interest in the net assets of the corresponding Portfolio.

American Beacon: | | Portfolios: | | June 30, 2011 |
S&P 500 Index Fund | | State Street Equity 500 Index Portfolio | | | 21.9 | % |
Small Cap Index Fund | | Master Small Cap Index Series | | | 20.2 | % |
International Equity Index Fund | | Master International Index Series | | | 36.5 | % |
The financial statements of the Portfolios are included elsewhere in this report and should be read in conjunction with the Funds’ financial statements.
The following is a summary of the significant accounting policies followed by the Funds.
Class Disclosure
The S&P 500 Index Fund has two classes of shares designed to meet the needs of different groups of investors. The following table sets forth the differences amongst the classes:
| | |
Class: | | Offered to: |
Institutional Class | | Investors making an initial investment of $250,000 |
Investor Class | | General public and investors investing through an intermediary |
Administrative service fees and service fees vary amongst the classes as described more fully in footnote 2.
Security Valuation and Valuation Inputs
Various inputs may be used to determine the value of the Fund’s investments. These inputs are summarized in three broad levels for financial statement purposes. The inputs or methodologies used to value securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.
Level 1 — Quoted prices in active markets for identical securities.
Level 2 — Prices determined using other significant observable inputs. These may include quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, and others.

American Beacon Funds
Notes to Financial Statements
June 30, 2011 (Unaudited)
Level 3 — Prices determined using significant unobservable inputs. Unobservable inputs reflect the Fund’s own assumptions about the factors market participants would use in pricing an investment, and would be based on the best information available.
At June 30, 2011, the Funds’ investments in the Portfolios were classified as Level 2. Valuation of securities by each Portfolio as well as the inputs used to value the Portfolios’ net assets is discussed in the Portfolios’ Notes to Financial Statements, which are include elsewhere in this report.
Investment Income
Each Fund records its share of net investment income and realized and unrealized gains and losses from the security transactions of its corresponding Portfolio each day. All net investment income and realized and unrealized gains (losses) of each Portfolio are allocated pro rata among the investors in that Portfolio at the time of such determination.
Dividends to Shareholders
Dividends from net investment income of the Small Cap Index and International Equity Index Funds normally will be declared and paid annually. The S&P 500 Index Fund normally will declare and pay dividends quarterly. Distributions, if any, of net realized capital gains are generally paid annually and recorded on the ex-dividend date. Dividends are determined in accordance with income tax principles that may treat certain transactions differently than generally accepted accounting principles.
Allocation of Income, Expenses, Gains and Losses
Each of the Portfolios records its share of net investment income (loss) and realized gain (loss) on a daily basis. The net investment income (loss) and realized gain (loss) of the Portfolios is allocated pro rata to the Funds and other investors in the Portfolios on a daily basis. Expenses directly attributable to a Fund are charged to the Fund’s operations. Expenses incurred by the Portfolios with respect to the Funds are allocated in proportion to the net assets of each Fund, except where allocations of direct expenses to each Fund can otherwise be made fairly. Each share of each Fund bears equally those expenses that are allocated to the Fund as a whole.
Income, expenses (other than those attributable to a specific class), gains and losses are allocated daily to each class of shares based upon the relative proportion of net assets represented by such class. Operating expenses directly attributable to a specific class are charged against the operations of that class.
Valuation of Shares
The price per share is calculated on each day on which shares are offered for sale. Net asset value per share is computed by dividing the value of each Fund’s total assets (which includes the value of the Fund’s investments in its Portfolio) less liabilities, by the number of Fund shares outstanding.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results may differ from those estimated.
Other
Under the Trust’s organizational documents, its officers and directors are indemnified against certain liability arising out of the performance of their duties to the Trust. In the normal course of business, the Trust enters into contracts that provide indemnification to the other party or parties against potential costs or

liabilities. The Trust’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is dependent on claims that may be made in the future and, therefore, cannot be estimated. The Trust has had no prior claims or losses pursuant to any such agreement.
2. Fees and Transactions with Affiliates
Administrative Services Agreement
The Manager and the Trust entered into an Administrative Services Agreement which obligates the Manager to provide or oversee administrative services to each Fund. As compensation for performing the duties required under the Administrative Services Agreement, the Manager receives an annualized fee of 0.05% of the average daily net assets of the Institutional Class of the S&P 500 Index Fund, International Equity Index Fund and the Small Cap Index Fund and an annualized fee of 0.25% of the average daily net assets of the Investor Class of the S&P 500 Index Fund.
Service Plans
The Manager and the Trust entered into a Service Plan that obligates the Manager to oversee additional shareholder servicing of the Investor Class of S&P 500 Index Fund. As compensation for performing the duties required under the Service Plan, the Manager receives up to 0.375% of the average daily net assets of the Investor Class of the S&P 500 Index Fund.
Subadministration Agreement
The Trust, the Manager and BlackRock Advisors, LLC (“BlackRock”) entered into a Subadministration Agreement that obligates BlackRock to provide certain other administrative services to the Small Cap Index Fund and the International Equity Index Fund. As compensation for performing these services, BlackRock receives an annualized fee of 0.08% of the average daily net assets of the Small Cap Index Fund and 0.12% of the average daily net assets of the International Equity Index Fund; however, the fee of each is reduced by the total expense ratio of its corresponding Portfolio, net of any fee waivers.
3. Federal Income and Excise Taxes
It is the policy of each of the Funds to qualify as a regulated investment company, by complying with all applicable provisions of the Internal Revenue Code, and to make distribution of taxable income sufficient to relieve it from substantially all federal income and excise taxes. For federal income tax purposes, each Fund is treated as a single entity for the purpose of determining such qualification.
The Funds do not have any unrecognized tax benefits in the accompanying financial statements. Each of the tax years in the four year period ended December 31, 2010, remains subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service. If applicable, the Funds recognize interest accrued related to unrecognized tax benefits in interest expense and penalties in “Other expenses” on the Statement of Operations.
Dividends are categorized in accordance with income tax regulations which may treat certain transactions differently than U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. Accordingly, the character of distributions and composition of net assets for tax purposes may differ from those reflected in the accompanying financial statements.
The International Equity Index Fund may be subject to taxes imposed by countries in which it invests. Such taxes are generally based on returns of income earned or gains realized or repatriated. Taxes are accrued and applied to net investment income, net realized capital gains and net unrealized appreciation, as applicable, as the income is earned or capital gains are recorded.

American Beacon Funds
Disclosure Regarding the Board of Trustees’ Approval of the Management Agreements of the Funds (Unaudited)
At its May 26, 2011 meeting, the Board of Trustees (“Board”) considered the renewal of the existing Management Agreement between American Beacon Advisors, Inc. (the “Manager”) and the American Beacon Funds (collectively, the “Funds or the “Beacon Trust”). In preparation for the Board’s consideration to renew the Agreement, the Board and its Investment Committee undertook steps to gather and consider information furnished by the Manager and Lipper, Inc. (“Lipper”). The Board, with the assistance of independent legal counsel, requested and received certain relevant information from the Manager.
In addition, the Board’s Investment Committee worked with Lipper to obtain relevant comparative information regarding the performance, fees and expenses of the Funds. The Investment Committee held a separate meeting on May 11, 2011 to consider the information provided by Lipper. Further, the Board took into consideration information furnished for the Board’s review and consideration throughout the year at regular Board and Investment Committee meetings, as well as information specifically prepared in connection with the renewal process.
In connection with the Board’s consideration of the Management Agreement, the Trustees considered, among other materials, responses by the Manager to inquiries requesting:
| • | | a description of any significant changes (actual or anticipated) to principal activities, personnel, services provided to the Funds, or any other area, including how these changes might affect the Funds; |

|
| • | | a description of the scope of portfolio management services provided or to be provided to the Funds, including whether such services differ from the services provided to other clients, including other mutual funds, and any advantages or disadvantages that might accrue to the Funds due to the Manager’s involvement in other activities; |
|
| • | | a description of the personnel who are or will be assigned primary responsibility for managing the Funds, including any changes during the past year, and a discussion of the adequacy of current and projected staffing levels to service the Funds; |
|
| • | | a description of the basis upon which portfolio managers are compensated, including any “incentive” arrangements, and a description of the oversight mechanisms used to prevent a portfolio manager whose compensation is tied to performance of a Fund from taking undue risks; |
|

American Beacon Funds
Disclosure Regarding the Board of Trustees’ Approval of the Management Agreements of the Funds (Unaudited)
| • | | a comparison of the performance of each Fund to comparable investment companies and appropriate indices, including comments on the relative performance of, as applicable, each subadvisor and each Fund versus the respective peer group average; |
|
| • | | a discussion, if applicable, of any underperformance by a subadvisor relative to its peer group and what, if any, remedial measures the Manager has or intends to take; |
|
| • | | a comparison of advisory fee rates and expense ratios for comparable mutual funds; |
|
| • | | a profit/loss analysis of the Manager; |
|
| • | | an analysis of any material complaints received from Fund shareholders; |
|
| • | | a description of the extent to which the Manager monitors the investment activities and financial conditions of each subadvisor to the Funds; |
|
| • | | a description of the Manager’s distribution activities with respect to promoting sales of Fund shares, including any revenue sharing practices; |
|

|
| • | | a description of the portfolio turnover rate and average execution costs for each Fund and, as applicable, each subadvisor to a Fund; and |
|
| • | | a description of how expenses that are not readily identifiable to a particular Fund are allocated. |
In connection with the Management Agreement, the Board also obtained an analysis provided by Lipper that compared: (i) investment performance of each Fund versus comparable mutual funds and appropriate indices; (ii) total Fund expenses of each Fund versus comparable mutual funds; and (iii) each Fund’s investment advisory fees versus comparable mutual funds. For each Fund with more than one class of shares, the class of shares used for comparative purposes was the class with the longest performance history, which in most cases was the Institutional Class. References below to each Fund’s Lipper peer group or universe are to the group or universe of comparable mutual funds included in the analysis provided by Lipper.
Provided below is an overview of the primary factors the Trustees considered at the Investment Committee meeting on May 11, 2011 at which the Trustees reviewed the investment performance of the Manager and the primary factors considered by the Board at its May 26, 2011 meeting at which the Board considered the renewal of the Management Agreement.
The Board did not identify any particular information that was most relevant to its consideration to renew the Management Agreement, and each Trustee may have afforded different weight to the various factors. Legal counsel to the independent Trustees provided the Board with a memorandum regarding its responsibilities pertaining to the renewal of the Management Agreement. The memorandum explained the regulatory requirements surrounding the Trustees’ process for evaluating investment advisors and the terms of the contracts. Based on its evaluation, the Board unanimously concluded that the terms of the Management Agreement were reasonable and fair and that the renewal of the Management Agreement was in the best interests of the Funds and their shareholders.
Considerations With Respect to All Funds
In determining whether to renew the Management Agreement, the Trustees considered the best interests of each Fund separately. While the Management Agreement for all of the Funds was considered at the May 26, 2011 meeting, the Board considered each Fund’s investment management and subadvisory relationships separately.
In each instance, the Board considered, among other things, the following factors: (1) the nature and quality of the services provided; (2) the investment performance of a Fund and, as applicable, each subadvisor for a Fund; (3) the costs incurred by the Manager in rendering services to the Funds and its resulting profits or losses; (4) the extent to which economies of scale have been taken into account in setting each fee schedule; (5) whether fee levels reflect these economies of scale for the benefit of Fund investors; (6) comparisons of services and fees with contracts entered into by the Manager or a subadvisor or their affiliates with other clients (such as pension funds and other institutional funds); and (7) any other benefits derived or anticipated to be derived by the Manager or a subadvisor from their relationship with a Fund. The Trustees posed questions to various management personnel of the Manager regarding certain key aspects of the materials submitted in support of the renewal.

With respect to the renewal of the Management Agreement, the Board considered, among other factors: each Fund’s generally favorable long-term performance and the background and experience of key investment personnel at the Manager; the low cost structure of the Funds; the Manager’s culture of compliance and support for compliance operations that reduce risks to the Funds; the Manager’s commitment to increase assets in the Funds as demonstrated, for example, by the continued increase in sales personnel; the Manager’s continuing efforts to add new series and share classes to enhance the Funds’ product line; the Manager’s high quality of services; the Manager’s commitment to increasing the number and training employees in conjunction with the Manager’s product expansion; and efforts made by the Manager to retain key employees.
Investment Performance. The Board evaluated the comparative information provided by Lipper and the Manager regarding each Fund’s investment performance relative to its benchmark index(es) and peer group. The Board considered the information provided by Lipper regarding its independent peer selection methodology to select all peer groups and universes. The Board also considered the performance reports and discussions with management at Board and Committee meetings throughout the year. A discussion regarding the Board’s considerations with respect to each Fund’s performance appears below under “Additional Considerations and Conclusions with

Disclosure Regarding the Board of Trustees’ Approval of the Management Agreements of the Funds (Unaudited)
Respect to the International Equity Index Fund, Additional Considerations and Conclusions for the S&P 500 Index Fund, and Additional Considerations and Conclusions for the Small Cap Index.”
Costs of the Services Provided to the Funds and the Profits Realized by the Manager from its Relationship with the Funds. In analyzing the cost of services and profitability of the Manager, the Board considered the revenues earned and the expenses incurred by the Manager. The profits or losses were noted at both an individual Fund level and at an aggregate level for all Funds. The Board also considered that the Management Agreement for the Beacon Trust stipulate that, to the extent that a Fund invests all of its investable assets in another registered investment company (i.e., is a “Feeder Fund”), the Fund will not pay the Manager a management fee. Although the Board noted that, in certain cases, the fee rates paid by other clients is lower than the fee rates paid by the Funds, the difference reflects the greater level of responsibility and regulatory requirements associated with managing the Funds.
The Board also noted that the Manager proposed to continue the expense waivers and reimbursements for certain Funds and classes that were in place during the last fiscal year and to put in place new expense waivers and reimbursements for certain new classes of the Funds and new series of the Beacon Trust. The Board considered that the Manager receives service and administrative fees to compensate the Manager for providing administrative services to the Funds and to compensate third-party administrators and broker-dealers for services to Fund shareholders. In addition, the Board considered that the Manager receives management fees for overseeing the securities lending program on behalf of various Funds. The Board also noted that certain classes of the Funds maintain higher expense ratios in order to compensate third-party distributors.
In analyzing the cost of services and profitability for each subadvisor in connection with its investment advisory services to the Fund, the Board considered that, in many cases, the Manager has negotiated the lowest subadvisory fee rate a subadvisor charges for any comparable client accounts. The Board did not consider profitability data of the subadvisors as imperative to its deliberations given the arm’s length nature of the relationship between the Manager and the subadvisors with respect to the negotiation of subadvisory fee rates.
Based on the foregoing information, the Board concluded that the profitability levels were reasonable in light of the services performed by the Manager. A discussion regarding the Board’s considerations with respect to each Fund’s fee rates is set forth below under “Additional Considerations and Conclusions with Respect to the International Equity Index Fund, Additional Considerations and Conclusions for the S&P 500 Index Fund, and Additional Considerations and Conclusions for the Small Cap Index.”
Economies of Scale. In considering the reasonableness of the management fee rates, the Board considered whether economies of scale will be realized as the Funds grow and whether fee levels reflect these economies of scale for the benefit of Fund shareholders. In this regard, the Board considered that the Manager has negotiated breakpoints in many subadvisory fee rates. The Board also noted that, for purposes of determining the fee rates chargeable to the Funds, many subadvisors have agreed to take into account assets of AMR Corporation and its pension plans that are managed by the subadvisors. Thus the Funds are able to receive lower effective fee rates. The Board also noted the Manager’s representation that assets in the Funds’ complex increased during 2010, primarily due to market appreciation.
In addition, the Board noted the Manager’s representation that many of the Funds benefit from economies of scale because comparably low fee rate levels are reflected in the current management and administration fee rates the Manager charges. The Board further noted that the Manager’s representation that many of the Funds benefit from those comparably low fee rate levels despite not having yet reached an asset size at with economies of scale would traditionally be considered to exit, and the Manager’s belief that breakpoints are not appropriate at this time. Based on the foregoing information, the Board concluded that the Manager fee schedules for each Fund provides for a reasonable sharing of benefits from any economies of scale with the Funds.
Benefits Derived from the Relationship with the Funds. The Board considered the “fall-out” or ancillary benefits that accrue to the Manager and/or the subadvisors as a result of the advisory relationships with the Funds, including greater exposure in the marketplace with respect to the Manager’s or subadvisor’s investment process and expanding the level of assets under management by the Manager and the subadvisors. The Board also considered that the Manager will use its proprietary Large Cap Value Fund model to manage its collective investment trust.
In addition, the Manager noted that the Trusts also derive benefits from their association with the Manager. Specifically, the Board noted that the Manager’s representation that it provides services to most Funds at a lower than industry average cost. The Board considered that certain of the subadvisors reimburse the Manager for certain of its costs relating to distribution activities for the Funds. The Board also considered that the Funds did not pay commissions to any affiliated broker-dealer of the Manager or the relevant subadvisor during the most recent fiscal year ended December 31, 2010.
Based on the foregoing information, the Board concluded that the potential benefits accruing to the Manager and the subadvisors by virtue of their relationships with the Funds appear to be fair and reasonable.
Additional Considerations and Conclusions with Respect to the International Equity Index Fund
The performance comparisons below were made versus each Fund’s Lipper peer group or universe median. References to the Lipper expense group or universe below are to the group or universe of comparable mutual funds included in the analysis provided to the Trustees by Lipper.
In considering the renewal of the Management Agreement in regard to the International Equity Index Fund, the Trustees considered the following additional factors: (1) the performance of the Fund’s master portfolio outperformed the peer universe median for
24

the five-year period ended March 31, 2011, but underperformed for the one- and three-year periods; and (2) the Fund’s expense ratio was lower than the median of its Lipper expense universe.
Based on these and other considerations, the Trustees (1) concluded that the fees paid to the Manager under the Management Agreement are fair and reasonable, (2) determined that the Fund and its shareholders would benefit from the Manager’s continued management of the Fund and (3) approved the renewal of the Management Agreement with respect to the Fund.
Additional Considerations and Conclusions with Respect to the S&P 500 Index Fund
In considering the renewal of the Management Agreement in regard to the S&P 500 Index Fund, the Trustees considered the following additional factors: (1) the Fund’s master portfolio outperformed the peer universe median for the one-, three- and five-year periods ended March 31, 2011 and (2) the Fund’s actual total expense ratio ranked the lowest of its Lipper expense group.
Based on these and other considerations, the Trustees (1) concluded that the fees paid to the Manager under the Management Agreement are fair and reasonable, (2) determined that the Fund and its shareholders would benefit from the Manager’s continued management of the Fund and (3) approved the renewal of the Management Agreement with respect to the Fund.
Additional Considerations and Conclusions with Respect to the Small Cap Index Fund
In considering the renewal of the Management Agreement in regard to the Small Cap Index Fund, the Trustees considered the following additional factors: (1) The Fund’s master portfolio outperformed the peer universe median for the one- and three-year periods ended March 31, 2011, but underperformed the peer universe median for the five-year period; and (3) the Fund’s expense ratio ranked better than the median of it Lipper expense universe.
Based on these and other considerations, the Trustees (1) concluded that the fees paid to the Manager under the Management Agreement are fair and reasonable, (2) determined that the Fund and its shareholders would benefit from the Manager’s continued management of the Fund and (3) approved the renewal of the Management Agreement with respect to the Fund.

State Street Equity 500 Index Portfolio
Notes to Financial Statements
June 30, 2011 (Unaudited)
1. Organization
State Street Master Funds (the “Trust”) is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), as an open-end management investment company, and was organized as a business trust under the laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts on July 27, 1999. The Trust comprises eleven investment portfolios: State Street Equity 500 Index Portfolio, State Street Equity 400 Index Portfolio, State Street Equity 2000 Index Portfolio, State Street Aggregate Bond Index Portfolio, State Street Money Market Portfolio, State Street Tax Free Money Market Portfolio, State Street Short-Term Tax Exempt Bond Portfolio, State Street Limited Duration Bond Portfolio, State Street Treasury Money Market Portfolio, State Street Treasury Plus Money Market Portfolio and State Street U.S. Government Money Market Portfolio. Information presented in these financial statements pertains only to State Street Equity 500 Index Portfolio (the “Portfolio”).
At June 30, 2011, the following Portfolios were in operation: the Portfolio, State Street Money Market Portfolio, State Street Tax Free Money Market Portfolio, State Street Short-Term Tax Free Bond Portfolio, State Street U.S. Government Money Market Portfolio, State Street Treasury Money Market Portfolio and State Street Treasury Plus Money Market Portfolio. The Portfolio is authorized to issue an unlimited number of non-transferable beneficial interests.
The Portfolio’s investment objective is to replicate, as closely as possible, before expenses, the performance of the Standard & Poor’s 500 Index (the “S&P 500® Index”). The Portfolio uses a passive management strategy designed to track the performance of the S&P 500® Index. The S&P 500® Index is a well-known, unmanaged, stock index that includes common stocks of 500 companies from several industrial sectors representing a significant portion of the market value of all stocks publicly traded in the United States. There is no assurance that the Portfolio will achieve its objective.
2. Significant Accounting Policies
The following is a summary of the significant accounting policies consistently followed by the Portfolio in the preparation of its financial statements.
Security valuation — The Portfolio’s investments are valued each business day by independent pricing services. Equity securities for which market quotations are available are valued at the last sale price or official closing price (closing bid price if no sale has occurred) on the primary market or exchange on which they trade. Investments in other mutual funds are valued at the net asset value per share. Fixed-income securities and options are valued on the basis of the closing bid price. Futures contracts are valued on the basis of the last sale price. Money market instruments maturing within 60 days of the valuation date are valued at amortized cost, a method by which each money market instrument is initially valued at cost, and thereafter a constant accretion or amortization of any discount or premium is recorded until maturity of the security. The Portfolio may value securities for which market quotations are not readily available at “fair value,” as determined in good faith pursuant to procedures established by the Board of Trustees.
The Portfolio adopted provisions surrounding Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures that defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. This applies to fair value measurements that are already required or permitted by other accounting standards and is intended to increase consistency of those measurements and applies broadly to securities and other types of assets and liabilities. In accordance with these provisions, fair value is defined as the price that the Portfolio would receive
36
State Street Equity 500 Index Portfolio
Notes to Financial Statements (continued)
June 30, 2011 (Unaudited)
upon selling an investment in a timely transaction to an independent buyer in the principal or most advantageous market of the investment. Various inputs are used in determining the value of the Portfolio’s investments.
The three tier hierarchy of inputs is summarized below:
| • | | Level 1 — quoted prices in active markets for identical securities |
|
| • | | Level 2 — other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.) |
|
| • | | Level 3 — significant unobservable inputs (including the Portfolio’s own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments) |
The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.
The following is a summary of the inputs used, as of June 30, 2011, in valuing the Portfolio’s assets carried at fair value (amounts in thousands):
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | Quoted Prices in | | | | | | | | | | |
| | Active Markets for | | | Significant Other | | | Significant | | | | |

| | | | | | | | | | | | |
The type of inputs used to value each security under the provisions surrounding Fair Value Measurement and Disclosures is identified in the Portfolio of Investments, which also includes a breakdown of the Portfolio’s investments by category.
The Portfolio adopted updated provisions surrounding Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures. This update applies to the Portfolio’s disclosures about transfers in and out of Level 1 and Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy and the reasons for the transfers as well as to disclosures about the valuation techniques and inputs used to measure fair value for investments that fall in either Level 2 or Level 3 fair value hierarchy.
As of the period ended June 30, 2011, there were no securities transferred from Level 1 to Level 2 and no securities transferred from Level 2 to Level 1.
Securities transactions, investment income and expenses — Securities transactions are recorded on a trade date basis for financial statement purposes. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date. Interest income is recorded daily on the accrual basis and includes amortization of premium and
37
State Street Equity 500 Index Portfolio
Notes to Financial Statements (continued)
June 30, 2011 (Unaudited)
accretion of discount on investments. Realized gains and losses from securities transactions are recorded on the basis of identified cost. Expenses are accrued daily based on average daily net assets.
All of the net investment income and realized and unrealized gains and losses from the security transactions of the Portfolio are allocated pro rata among the partners in the Portfolio based on each partner’s daily ownership percentage.
Federal income taxes: The Portfolio is not required to pay federal income taxes on its net investment income and net capital gains because it is treated as a partnership for federal income tax purposes. All interest, dividends, gains and losses of the Portfolio are deemed to have been “passed through” to the Portfolio’s partners in proportion to their holdings in the Portfolio, regardless of whether such items have been distributed by the Portfolio. Each partner is responsible for tax liability based on its distributive share; therefore, no provision has been made for federal income taxes.
The Portfolio has reviewed the tax positions for open years as of and during the year ended December 31, 2010, and determined it did not have a liability for any unrecognized tax expenses. The Portfolio recognizes interest and penalties, if any, related to tax liabilities as income tax expense in the Statement of Operations. As of December 31, 2010, tax years 2007 through 2010 remain subject to examination by the Portfolio’s major tax jurisdictions, which include the United States of America and the Commonwealth of Massachusetts.
At June 30, 2011, the book cost of investments was $1,133,042 which approximates cost computed on a federal tax basis. The aggregate gross unrealized appreciation and gross unrealized depreciation was $845,030 and $56,658 respectively, resulting in net appreciation/depreciation of $788,372 for all securities as computed on a federal income tax basis.
Futures: The Portfolio may enter into financial futures contracts as part of its strategy to track the performance of the S&P 500® Index. Upon entering into a futures contract, the Portfolio is required to deposit with the broker cash or securities in an amount equal to a certain percentage of the contract amount. Variation margin payments are made or received by the Portfolio each day, depending on the daily fluctuations in the value of the underlying security or index, and are recorded for financial statement purposes as unrealized gains or losses by the Portfolio, which is recorded on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. The Portfolio recognizes a realized gain or loss when the contract is closed, which is recorded on the Statement of Operations. The Portfolio voluntarily segregates securities in an amount equal to the outstanding value of the open futures contracts in accordance with Securities and Exchange Commission requirements.
The primary risks associated with the use of futures contracts are an imperfect correlation between the change in market value of the securities held by the Portfolio and the prices of futures contracts and the possibility of an illiquid market.
The Portfolio adopted provisions surrounding Derivatives and Hedging which requires qualitative disclosures about objectives and strategies for using derivatives, quantitative disclosures about fair value amounts of gains and losses on derivative instruments, and disclosures about credit-risk-related contingent features in derivative agreements.
To the extent permitted by the investment objective, restrictions and policies set forth in the Portfolio’s Prospectus and Statement of Additional Information, the Portfolio may participate in various derivative-based transactions. Derivative securities are instruments or agreements whose value is derived from an

underlying security or index. The Portfolio’s use of derivatives includes futures. These instruments offer unique characteristics and risks that assist the Portfolio in meeting its investment objective. The Portfolio typically uses derivatives in two ways: cash equitization and return enhancement. Cash equitization is a technique that may be used by the Portfolio through the use of options and futures to earn “market-like” returns with the Portfolio’s excess and liquidity reserve cash balances and receivables. Return enhancement can be accomplished through the use of derivatives in the Portfolio. By purchasing certain instruments, the Portfolio may more effectively achieve the desired portfolio characteristics that assist in meeting the Portfolio’s investment objectives. Depending on how the derivatives are structured and utilized, the risks associated with them may vary widely. These risks are generally categorized as market risk, liquidity risk and counterparty or credit risk.
The following table, grouped into appropriate risk categories, discloses the amounts related to the Portfolio’s use of derivative instruments and hedging activities at June 30, 2011:

4. Related Party Fees and Transactions
The Portfolio has entered into an investment advisory agreement with SSgA Funds Management, Inc. (“SSgA FM” or the “Adviser”), a subsidiary of State Street Corporation and an affiliate of State Street Bank and Trust Company (“State Street”), under which SSgA FM directs the investments of the Portfolio in accordance with its investment objective, policies, and limitations. The Trust has contracted with State Street to provide custody, administration and transfer agent services to the Portfolio. In compensation for SSgA FM’s services as investment adviser and for State Street’s services as administrator, custodian and transfer agent (and for assuming ordinary operating expenses of the Portfolio, including ordinary legal, audit and trustees expense), State Street receives a unitary fee, calculated daily, at the annual rate of 0.045% of the Portfolio’s average daily net assets.
Certain investments made by the Portfolio were made in securities affiliated with State Street and SSgA FM. Investments in State Street Corporation, the holding company of State Street, were made according to its representative portion of the S&P 500® Index. The market value of this investment at June 30, 2011 is listed in the Portfolio of Investments.
5. Trustees’ Fees
Pursuant to certain agreements with State Street and its affiliates, each Independent Trustee receives for his or her services a $30,000 retainer in addition to $2,500 for each in-person meeting and $500 for each telephonic meeting from State Street or its affiliates. These fees are paid through a unitary fee.
6. Indemnifications
The Trust’s organizational documents provide that its officers and trustees are indemnified against certain liabilities arising out of the performance of their duties to the Trust. In addition, both in some of its principal service contracts and in the normal course of its business, the Trust enters into contracts that provide indemnifications to other parties for certain types of losses or liabilities. The Trust’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this could involve future claims against the Trust. Management does not expect any significant claims.
7. Subsequent Events
In accordance with provisions surrounding Subsequent Events adopted by the Portfolio, management has evaluated the possibility of subsequent events existing in the Portfolio’s financial statements. Management has determined that there are no material events that would require disclosure in the Portfolio’s financial statements.

• | | For Series compliance purposes,the Series’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 Series’ management. This definition 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 are summarized in three broad levels for financial statement purposes as follows: |
| • | | Level 1 — price quotations in active markets/exchanges for identical assets and liabilities |
|
| • | | Level 2 — other observable inputs (including,but not limited to: quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in markets that are active, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the assets or liabilities (such as interest rates, yield curves, volatilities, prepayment speeds, loss severities, credit risks and default rates) or other market-corroborated inputs) |
|
| • | | Level 3 — unobservable inputs based on the best information available in the circumstances, to the extent observable inputs are not available (including the Series’ own assumptions used in determining the fair value of investments and derivative financial instruments) |
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 does not necessarily correspond to the Series’ perceived risk of investing in those securities. For information about the Series’ policy regarding valuation of investments and derivative financial instruments and other significant accounting policies, please refer to Note 1 of the Notes to Financial Statements.

Notes to Financial Statements (Unaudited) | | Master Small Cap Index Series |
1. Organization and Significant Accounting Policies:
Master Small Cap Index Series (the “Series”), a diversified, open-end management investment company, is a series of Quantitative Master Series LLC (the “Master LLC”). The Master LLC is registered as an investment company under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), and is organized as a Delaware limited liability company. The Master LLC’s Limited Liability Company Agreement permits the Board of Directors of the Master LLC (the “Board”) to issue non-transferable interests, subject to certain limitations. The Series’ financial statements are prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“US GAAP”), which may require management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by the Series:
Valuation: US GAAP defines fair value as the price the Series would receive to sell an asset or pay to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The Series fair values its financial instruments at market value using independent dealers or pricing services under policies approved by the Board. Equity investments traded on a recognized securities exchange or the NASDAQ Global Market System (“NASDAQ”) are valued at the last reported sale price that day or the NASDAQ official closing price, if applicable. For equity investments traded on more than one exchange, the last reported sale price on the exchange where the stock is primarily traded is used. Equity investments traded on a recognized exchange for which there were no sales on that day are valued at the last available bid (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. Financial futures contracts traded on exchanges are valued at their last sale price. Investments in open-end registered investment companies are valued at net asset value each business day. Short-term securities with remaining maturities of 60 days or less may be valued at amortized cost, which approximates fair value.
The Series values its investments in BlackRock Liquidity Series, LLC Money Market Series (the “Money Market Series”) at fair value, which is ordinarily based upon its pro rata ownership in the underlying fund’s net assets. The Money Market Series seeks current income consistent with maintaining liquidity and preserving capital. Although the Money Market Series is not registered under the 1940 Act, its investments will follow the parameters of investments by a money market fund that is subject to Rule 2a-7 under the 1940 Act. The Fund may withdraw up to 25% of its investment daily, although the manager of the Money Market Series, in its sole discretion, may permit an investor to withdraw more than 25% on any one day.
In the event that application of these methods of valuation results in a price for an investment which is deemed not to be representative of the market value of such investment or is not available, the investment will be valued in accordance with a policy approved by the Board as reflecting fair value (“Fair Value Assets”). When determining the price for Fair Value Assets, the investment advisor and/or the sub-advisor seeks to determine the price that the Series might reasonably expect to receive from the current sale of that asset in an arm’s-length transaction. Fair value determinations shall be based upon all available factors that the investment advisor and/or sub-advisor deems relevant. The pricing of all Fair Value Assets is subsequently reported to the Board or a committee thereof.
Segregation and Collateralization: In cases in which the 1940 Act and the interpretive positions of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) require that the Series either deliver collateral or segregate assets in connection with certain investments (e.g., financial futures contracts), the Series will, consistent with SEC rules and/or certain interpretive letters issued by the SEC, segregate collateral or designate on its books and records cash or liquid securities having a market value at least equal to the amount that would otherwise be required to be physically segregated. Furthermore, based on requirements and agreements with certain exchanges and third party broker-dealers, each party to such transactions has requirements to deliver/deposit securities as collateral for certain investments.
Investment Transactions and Investment Income: For financial reporting purposes, investment transactions are recorded on the dates the transactions are entered into (the trade dates). Realized gains and losses on investment transactions are determined on the identified cost basis. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend dates. 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.
Securities Lending: The Series may lend securities to approved borrowers, such as banks, brokers and other financial institutions. The borrower pledges cash, securities issued or guaranteed by the US government or irrevocable letters of credit issued by a bank as collateral, which will be maintained at all times in an amount equal to at least 100% of the current market value of the loaned securities. The market value of the loaned securities is determined at the close of business of the Series and any additional required collateral is delivered to the Series on the next business day. Securities lending income, as disclosed in the Statement of Operations, represents the income earned from the investment of the cash collateral, net of rebates paid to, or fees paid by, borrowers and less the fees paid to the securities lending agent. During the term of the loan, the Series earns dividend and interest on the securities loaned but does
| | |
| | |
MASTER SMALL CAP INDEX SERIES | | JUNE 30, 2011 |
67
| | |
| | |
Notes to Financial Statements (continued) | | Master Small Cap Index Series |
not receive dividend or interest income on the securities received as collateral. Loans of securities are terminable at any time and the borrower, after notice, is required to return borrowed securities within the standard time period for settlement of securities transactions. In the event that the borrower defaults on its obligation to return borrowed securities because of insolvency or for any other reason, the Series could experience delays and costs in gaining access to the collateral. The Series also could suffer a loss if the value of an investment purchased with cash collateral falls below the market value of loaned securities or if the value of an investment purchased with cash collateral falls below the value of the original cash collateral received. During the period, the Series accepted only cash collateral in connection with securities loaned.
Income Taxes: The Series is classified as a partnership for federal income tax purposes. As such, each investor in the Series is treated as owner of its proportionate share of the net assets, income, expenses and realized and unrealized gains and losses of the Series. Therefore, no federal income tax provision is required. It is intended that the Series’ assets will be managed so an investor in the Series can satisfy the requirements of Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended.
The Series files US federal and various state and local tax returns. The statute of limitations on the Series’ US federal tax returns remains open for each of the four years ended December 31, 2010. The statutes of limitations on the Series’ state and local tax returns may remain open for an additional year depending upon the jurisdiction. Management does not believe there are any uncertain tax positions that require recognition of a tax liability.
Recent Accounting Standard: In May 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued amended guidance to improve disclosure about fair value measurements which will require the following disclosures for fair value measurements categorized as Level 3: quantitative information about the unobservable inputs and assumptions used in the fair value measurement, a description of the valuation policies and procedures and a narrative description of the sensitivity of the fair value measurement to changes in unobservable inputs and the interrelationships between those unobservable inputs. In addition, the amounts and reasons for all transfers in and out of Level 1 and Level 2 will be required to be disclosed. The amended guidance is effective for financial statements for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2011, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Management is evaluating the impact of this guidance on the Series’ financial statements and disclosures.
Other: Expenses directly related to the Series are charged to the Series. Other operating expenses shared by several funds are pro rated among those funds on the basis of relative net assets or other appropriate methods.
The Series has an arrangement with the custodian whereby fees may be reduced by credits earned on uninvested cash balances, which, if applicable, are shown as fees paid indirectly in the Statement of Operations. The custodian imposes fees on overdrawn cash balances, which can be offset by accumulated credits earned or may result in additional custody charges.
2. Derivative Financial Instruments:
The Series engages in various portfolio investment strategies using derivative contracts both to increase the returns of the Series and to economically hedge, or protect, its exposure to certain risks such as equity risk. These contracts may be transacted on an exchange.
Losses may arise if the value of the contract decreases due to an unfavorable change in the market rates or values of the underlying instrument or if the counterparty does not perform under the contract. Counterparty risk related to exchange-traded financial futures contracts and options is deemed to be minimal due to the protection against defaults provided by the exchange on which these contracts trade.
Financial Futures Contracts: The Series purchases or sells financial futures contracts and options on financial futures contracts to gain exposure to, or economically hedge against, changes in the value of equity securities (equity risk). Financial futures contracts are agreements between the Series and the counterparty to buy or sell a specific quantity of an underlying instrument at a specified price and at a specified date. Depending on the terms of the particular contract, futures contracts are settled either through physical delivery of the underlying instrument on the settlement date or by payment of a cash settlement amount on the settlement date. Pursuant to the contract, the Series agrees to receive from or pay to the broker an amount of cash equal to the daily fluctuation in value of the contract. Such receipts or payments are known as margin variation and are recorded by the Series as unrealized appreciation or depreciation. When the contract is closed, the Series records a realized gain or loss equal to the difference between the value of the contract at the time it was opened and the value at the time it was closed. The use of financial futures contracts involves the risk of an imperfect correlation in the movements in the price of financial futures contracts, interest rates and the underlying assets.

3. Investment Advisory Agreement and Other Transactions with Affiliates:
The PNC Financial Services Group, Inc. (“PNC”) and Barclays Bank PLC (“Barclays”) are the largest stockholders of BlackRock, Inc. (“BlackRock”). Due to the ownership structure, PNC is an affiliate of the Series for 1940 Act purposes, but Barclays is not.
The Master LLC, on behalf of the Series, entered into an Investment Advisory Agreement with BlackRock Advisors, LLC (the “Manager”), the Series’ investment advisor, an indirect, wholly owned subsidiary of BlackRock, to provide investment advisory and administration services. The Manager is responsible for the management of the Series’ portfolio and provides the necessary personnel, facilities, equipment and certain other services necessary to the operations of the Series. For such services, the Series pays the Manager a monthly fee at an annual rate of 0.01% of the Series’ average daily net assets.
The Manager entered into a contractual arrangement with the Master LLC with respect to the Series under which the Manager will waive and/or reimburse its fees and/or expenses so that the total annual operating expenses incurred by the Series (excluding dividend expense, interest expense, acquired fund fees and certain other Series’ expenses) will not exceed 0.08% of the average daily value of the Series’ net assets. The Manager has agreed not to reduce or discontinue this contractual waiver or reimbursement before May 1, 2012 unless approved by the Board, including a majority of the independent directors. For the six months ended June 30, 2011, the Series waived and/or reimbursed $14,724, which is included in fees waived and/or reimbursed by advisor in the Statement of Operations.
The Manager voluntarily agreed to waive its investment advisory fees by the amount of investment advisory fees the Series pays to the Manager indirectly through its investment in affiliated money market funds, however the Manager does not waive its investment advisory fees by the amount of investment advisory fees paid through the Series’ investment in other affiliated investment companies, if any. For the six months ended June 30, 2011, the Manager waived $2,209, which is included in fees waived and/or reimbursed by advisor in the Statement of Operations.
The Manager entered into a sub-advisory agreement with BlackRock Investment Management, LLC (“BIM”), an affiliate of the Manager. The Manager pays BIM for services it provides, a monthly fee that is a percentage of the investment advisory fees paid by the Series to the Manager.
For the six months ended June 30, 2011, the Series reimbursed the Manager $2,262 for certain accounting services, which is included in accounting services in the Statement of Operations.
The Master LLC, on behalf of the Series, received an exemptive order from the SEC permitting it, among other things, to pay an affiliated securities lending agent a fee based on a share of the income derived from the securities lending activities and has retained BIM as the securities lending agent. BIM may, on behalf of the Series, invest cash collateral received by the Series for such loans, among other things, in a private investment company managed by the Manager or in registered money market funds advised by the Manager or its affiliates. The market value of securities on loan and the value of the related collateral, if applicable, are shown in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities as securities loaned at value and collateral on securities loaned at value, respectively. The cash collateral invested by BIM is disclosed in the Schedule of Investments. The share of income earned by the Series on such investments is shown as securities lending — affiliated in the Statement of Operations. For the six months ended June 30, 2011, BIM received $40,607 in securities lending agent fees related to securities lending activities for the Series.

Notes to Financial Statements (concluded) | | Master Small Cap Index Series |
Certain officers and/or directors of the Master LLC are officers and/or directors of BlackRock or its affiliates.
4. Investments:
Purchases and sales of investments, excluding short-term securities, for the period ended June 30, 2011, were $60,835,840 and $69,275,441, respectively.
5. Borrowings:
The Master LLC, on behalf of the Series, along with certain other funds managed by the Manager and its affiliates, is a party to a $500 million credit agreement with a group of lenders, which expires in November 2011. The Series may borrow under the credit agreement to fund shareholder redemptions. The Series pays a commitment fee of 0.08% per annum based on the Series’ pro rata share of the unused portion of the credit agreement and interest at a rate equal to the higher of (a) the one-month LIBOR plus 1.00% per annum and (b) the Fed Funds rate plus 1.00% per annum on amounts borrowed. In addition, the Series paid administration and arrangement fees which were allocated to the Series based on its net assets as of October 31, 2010. The Series did not borrow under the credit agreement during the six months ended June 30, 2011.
6. Concentration, Market and Credit Risk:
In the normal course of business, the Series invests in securities and enters into transactions where risks exist due to fluctuations in the market (market risk) or failure of the issuer of a security to meet all its obligations (issuer credit risk). The value of securities held by the Series may decline in response to certain events, including those directly involving the issuers whose securities are owned by the Series; conditions affecting the general economy; overall market changes; local, regional or global political, social or economic instability; and currency and interest rate and price fluctuations. Similar to issuer credit risk, the Series may be exposed to counter-party credit risk, or the risk that an entity with which the Series has unsettled or open transactions may fail to or be unable to perform on its commitments. The Series manages counterparty credit risk by entering into transactions only with counterparties that it believes have the financial resources to honor their obligations and by monitoring the financial stability of those counterparties. Financial assets, which potentially expose the Series to market, issuer and counterparty credit risks, consist principally of financial instruments and receivables due from counterparties. The extent of the Series’ exposure to market, issuer and counterparty credit risks with respect to these financial assets is generally approximated by their value recorded in the Series’ Statement of Assets and Liabilities, less any collateral held by the Series.
As of June 30, 2011, the Series invested a significant portion of its assets in securities in the energy sector. Changes in economic conditions affecting the energy sector would have a greater impact on the Series and could affect the value, income and/or liquidity of positions in such securities.
7. Subsequent Events:
Management has evaluated the impact of all subsequent events on the Series through the date the financial statements were issued and has determined that there were no subsequent events requiring adjustment or additional disclosure in the financial statements.

Disclosure of Investment Advisory Agreement and Sub-Advisory Agreement
The Board of Directors (the “Board,” and the members of which are referred to as “Board Members”) of Quantitative Master Series LLC (the “Master LLC”) met on April 5, 2011 and May 17—18, 2011 to consider the approval of the Master LLC’s investment advisory agreement (the “Advisory Agreement”) with BlackRock Advisors, LLC (the “Manager”), the Master LLC’s investment advisor, on behalf of the Master Small Cap Index Series (the “Master Portfolio”), a series of the Master LLC. The Board of Directors of the Master LLC also considered the approval of the sub-advisory agreement (the “Sub-Advisory Agreement”) between the Manager and BlackRock Investment Management, LLC (the “Sub-Advisor”), with respect to the Master Portfolio. The Manager and the Sub-Advisor are referred to herein as “BlackRock.” The Advisory Agreement and the Sub-Advisory Agreement are referred to herein as the “Agreements.”
Activities and Composition of the Board
The Board consists of thirteen individuals, eleven of whom are not “interested persons” of the Master LLC as defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”) (the “Independent Board Members”). The Board Members are responsible for the oversight of the operations of the Master LLC 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 Co-Chairs of the Board are each Independent Board Members. The Board has established five standing committees: an Audit Committee, a Governance and Nominating Committee, a Compliance Committee, a Performance Oversight and Contract Committee and an Executive Committee, each of which is composed of Independent Board Members (except for the Executive Committee, which also has one interested Board Member) and is chaired by Independent Board Members. The Board also established an ad hoc committee, the Joint Product Pricing Committee, which consisted of Independent Board Members and directors/trustees of the boards of certain other BlackRock-managed funds, who were not “interested persons” of their respective funds.
The Agreements
Pursuant to the 1940 Act, the Board is required to consider the continuation of the Agreements on an annual basis. In connection with this process, the Board assessed, among other things, the nature, scope and quality of the services provided to the Master Portfolio by BlackRock, its personnel and its affiliates, including investment management, administrative and shareholder services, oversight of fund accounting and custody, marketing services, risk oversight, compliance program 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 to the Master Portfolio and its shareholders. Among the matters the Board considered were: (a) investment performance of an affiliated feeder fund that invests all of its investable assets in the Master Portfolio (the “representative feeder fund”) for one-, three- and five-year 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, administration, if applicable, and other amounts paid to BlackRock and its affiliates by the Master Portfolio for services, such as marketing and distribution and fund accounting; (c) the Master Portfolio’s operating expenses and how BlackRock allocates expenses to the Master Portfolio; (d) the resources devoted to, risk oversight of, and compliance reports relating to, implementation of the Master Portfolio’s investment objective, policies and restrictions; (e) the Master LLC’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 and other service providers’ internal controls and risk and compliance oversight mechanisms; (h) BlackRock’s implementation of the proxy voting policies approved by the Board; (i) the use of brokerage commissions and execution quality of portfolio transactions; (j) BlackRock’s implementation of the Master LLC’s valuation and liquidity procedures; (k) an analysis of contractual and actual 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 business.
Board Considerations in Approving the Agreements
The Approval Process: Prior to the April 5, 2011 meeting, the Board requested and received materials specifically relating to the Agreements. The Board is engaged in a process with BlackRock to review periodically the nature and scope of the information provided to better assist its deliberations. The materials provided in connection with the April meeting included (a) information independently compiled and prepared by Lipper, Inc. (“Lipper”) on fees and expenses of the Master Portfolio and the representative feeder fund, as applicable, and the investment performance of the representative feeder fund as compared with a peer group of funds as determined by Lipper (collectively,“Peers”), as well as the gross investment performance of the representative feeder fund as compared with its benchmark; (b) information on the profitability of the Agreements to BlackRock and a discussion of fall-out benefits to BlackRock and its affiliates and significant shareholders; (c) a general analysis provided by BlackRock concerning investment management fees (a combination of the advisory fee and the administration fee, if any) 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) the impact of economies of scale; (e) a summary of aggregate amounts paid by the Master Portfolio to BlackRock; and (f) if applicable, a comparison of management fees to similar BlackRock open-end funds, as classified by Lipper.

Disclosure of Investment Advisory Agreement and Sub-Advisory Agreement (continued)
At an in-person meeting held on April 5, 2011, the Board reviewed materials relating to its consideration of the Agreements. As a result of the discussions that occurred during the April 5, 2011 meeting, and as a culmination of the Board’s year-long deliberative process, the Board presented BlackRock with questions and requests for additional information. BlackRock responded to these requests with additional written information in advance of the May 17—18, 2011 Board meeting.
At an in-person meeting held on May 17—18, 2011, the Board, including the Independent Board Members, unanimously approved the continuation of the Advisory Agreement between the Manager and the Master LLC with respect to the Master Portfolio and the Sub-Advisory Agreement between the Manager and the Sub-Advisor with respect to the Master Portfolio, each for a one-year term ending June 30, 2012. In approving the continuation of the Agreements, the Board considered: (a) the nature, extent and quality of the services provided by BlackRock; (b) the investment performance of the Master Portfolio and BlackRock; (c) the advisory fee and the cost of the services and profits to be realized by BlackRock and its affiliates from their relationship with the Master Portfolio; (d) economies of scale; (e) fall out benefits to BlackRock as a result of its relationship with the Master Portfolio; 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 Master Portfolio shares, services related to the valuation and pricing of portfolio holdings of the Master Portfolio, direct and indirect benefits to BlackRock and its affiliates and significant shareholders from their relationship with the Master Portfolio 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 controlling, and each Board Member may have attributed different weights to the various items considered.
A. Nature, Extent and Quality of the Services Provided by BlackRock: The Board, including the Independent Board Members, reviewed the nature, extent and quality of services provided by BlackRock, including the investment advisory services and the resulting performance of the Master Portfolio. The Board received information regarding the investment performance of the representative feeder fund. 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 the portfolio management team discussing performance of the representative feeder fund and the Master Portfolio’s investment objective, strategies and outlook.
The Board considered, among other factors, the number, education and experience of BlackRock’s investment personnel generally and the Master Portfolio’s portfolio management team, investments by portfolio managers in the funds they manage, BlackRock’s portfolio trading capabilities, BlackRock’s use of technology, BlackRock’s commitment to compliance, BlackRock’s credit analysis capabilities, BlackRock’s risk analysis capabilities and BlackRock’s approach to training and retaining portfolio managers and other research, advisory and management personnel. The Board engaged in a review of BlackRock’s compensation structure with respect to the Master Portfolio’s portfolio management team and BlackRock’s ability to attract and retain high-quality talent and create performance incentives.
In addition to advisory services, the Board considered the quality of the administrative and non-investment advisory services provided to the Master Portfolio. BlackRock and its affiliates and significant shareholders provide the Master Portfolio with certain administrative, transfer agency, shareholder and other services (in addition to any such services provided to the Master Portfolio by third parties) and officers and other personnel as are necessary for the operations of the Master Portfolio. In addition to investment advisory services, BlackRock and its affiliates provide the Master Portfolio with other services, including (i) preparing disclosure documents, such as the prospectus, 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 the Master Portfolio, such as tax reporting, fulfilling regulatory filing requirements and call center services. The Board reviewed the structure and duties of BlackRock’s fund administration, accounting, legal and compliance departments and considered BlackRock’s policies and procedures for assuring compliance with applicable laws and regulations.
B. The Investment Performance of the Master Portfolio and BlackRock: The Board, including the Independent Board Members, also reviewed and considered the performance history of the Master Portfolio. The Board noted that the Master Portfolio’s investment results correspond directly to the investment results of the representative feeder fund. In preparation for the April 5, 2011 meeting, the Board worked with BlackRock and Lipper to develop a template for, and was provided with, reports independently prepared by Lipper, which included a comprehensive analysis of the representative feeder 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 the representative feeder fund as compared to funds in the representative feeder fund’s applicable Lipper category and the gross investment performance of the representative feeder fund as compared with its benchmark. The Board was provided with a description of the methodology used by Lipper to select peer funds. The Board and the Board’s Performance Oversight and Contract Committee regularly review and meet with Master Portfolio management to discuss the performance of

the Master Portfolio and the representative feeder fund, as applicable, throughout the year.
The Board noted that the representative feeder fund’s gross performance exceeded its benchmark index during each of the one-, three- and five-year periods reported.
The Board noted that BlackRock has made changes to the organization of the overall equity group management structure designed to result in a strengthened leadership team with clearer accountability.
C. Consideration of the Advisory/Management Fees and the Cost of the Services and Profits to be Realized by BlackRock and its Affiliates from their Relationship with the Master Portfolio: The Board, including the Independent Board Members, reviewed the representative feeder fund’s contractual management fee ratio compared with the other funds in the representative feeder fund’s Lipper category. It also compared the representative feeder fund’s total expense ratio, as well as actual management fee ratio, to those of other funds in its Lipper category. The Board considered the services provided and the fees charged by BlackRock to other types of clients with similar investment mandates, including separately managed institutional accounts.
The Board received and reviewed statements relating to BlackRock’s financial condition and profitability with respect to the services it provided the Master Portfolio. The Board was also provided with a profitability analysis that detailed the revenues earned and the expenses incurred by BlackRock for services provided to the Master Portfolio. The Board reviewed BlackRock’s profitability with respect to the Master Portfolio and other funds the Board currently oversees for the year ended December 31, 2010 compared to available aggregate profitability data provided for the years ended December 31, 2009 and December 31, 2008. The Board reviewed BlackRock’s profitability with respect to 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, expense allocations and business mix, and the difficulty of comparing profitability as a result of those factors.
The Board noted that, in general, individual fund or product line profitability of other advisors is not publicly available. The Board considered BlackRock’s operating margin, in general, compared to the operating margin for leading investment management firms whose operations include advising open-end funds, among other product types. That data indicates that operating margins for BlackRock, in general and with respect to its registered funds, are generally consistent with margins earned by similarly situated publicly traded competitors. In addition, the Board considered, among other things, certain third party data comparing BlackRock’s operating margin with that of other publicly-traded asset management firms. That third party data indicates that larger asset bases do not, in themselves, translate to higher profit margins.
In addition, the Board considered the cost of the services provided to the Master Portfolio by BlackRock, and BlackRock’s and its affiliates’ profits relating to the management and distribution of the Master Portfolio and the other funds advised by BlackRock and its affiliates. As part of its analysis, the Board reviewed BlackRock’s methodology in allocating its costs to the management of the Master Portfolio. The Board also considered whether BlackRock has the financial resources necessary to attract and retain high-quality investment management personnel to perform its obligations under the Agreements and to continue to provide the high quality of services that is expected by the Board.
The Board noted that the representative feeder fund’s contractual management fee ratio (a combination of the advisory fee and the administration fee, if any) was lower than or equal to the median contractual management fee ratio paid by the representative feeder fund’s Peers, in each case before taking into account any expense reimbursements or fee waivers. The Board also noted that BlackRock has contractually agreed to waive fees and/or reimburse expenses in order to limit, to a specified amount, the Master Portfolio’s total operating expenses as a percentage of the Master Portfolio’s average daily net assets.
D. Economies of Scale: The Board, including the Independent Board Members, considered the extent to which economies of scale might be realized as the assets of the Master Portfolio increase. The Board also considered the extent to which the Master Portfolio benefit from such economies and whether there should be changes in the advisory fee rate or structure in order to enable the Master Portfolio to participate in these economies of scale, for example through the use of breakpoints in the advisory fee based upon the asset level of the Master Portfolio.
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 and significant shareholders may derive from their respective relationships with the Master Portfolio, 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 and significant shareholders as service providers to the Master Portfolio, including for administrative, distribution and securities lending services. The Board also considered BlackRock’s overall operations and its efforts to expand the scale of, and improve the quality of, its operations. The Board also noted that BlackRock may use and benefit from third party research obtained by soft dollars generated by certain registered fund transactions to assist in managing all or a number of its other client

accounts. The Board further noted that BlackRock’s funds may invest in affiliated 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 brokerage and soft dollar practices. The Board received reports from BlackRock which included information on brokerage commissions and trade execution practices throughout the year.
Conclusion
The Board of the Master LLC, including the Independent Board Members, unanimously approved the continuation of the Advisory Agreement between the Manager and the Master LLC, with respect to the Master Portfolio, for a one-year term ending June 30, 2012 and the Sub-Advisory Agreement between the Manager and the Sub-Advisor, with respect to the Master Portfolio, for a one-year term ending June 30, 2012. As part of its approval, the Board of the Master LLC considered the detailed review of BlackRock’s fee structure, as it applies to the Master LLC, conducted by the ad hoc Joint Product Pricing Committee. Based upon its evaluation of all of the aforementioned factors in their totality, the Board of the Master LLC, including the Independent Board Members, was satisfied that the terms of the Agreements were fair and reasonable and in the best interest of the Master Portfolio and its shareholders. In arriving at its decision to approve the Agreements, the Board of the Master LLC did not identify any single factor or group of factors as all-important or controlling, but considered all factors together, and different Board Members may have attributed different weights to the various factors considered. The Independent Board Members were also assisted by the advice of independent legal counsel in making this determination. The contractual fee arrangements for the Master Portfolio reflect the results of several years of review by the Board Members and predecessor Board Members, and discussions between such Board Members (and predecessor Board Members) and BlackRock. As a result, the Board Members’ conclusions may be based in part on their consideration of these arrangements in prior years.

• | | Fair Value Measurements — Various inputs are used in determining the fair value of investments and derivative financial instruments. These inputs are categorized in three broad levels for financial statement purposes as follows: |
| • | | Level 1 — price quotations in active markets/exchanges for identical assets and liabilities |
|
| • | | Level 2 — other observable inputs (including,but not limited to: quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in markets that are active, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the assets or liabilities (such as interest rates, yield curves, volatilities, prepayment speeds, loss severities, credit risks and default rates) or other market-corroborated inputs) |
|
| • | | Level 3 — unobservable inputs based on the best information available in the circumstances, to the extent observable inputs are not available (including the Series’ own assumptions used in determining the fair value of investments and derivative financial instruments) |
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 does not necessarily correspond to the Series’ perceived risk of investing in those securities. For information about the Series’ policy regarding valuation of investments and derivative financial instruments and other significant accounting policies, please refer to Note 1 of the Series’ Notes to Financial Statements.
The following tables summarize the inputs used as of June 30, 2011 in determining the fair valuation of the Series’ investments and derivative financial instruments:

Notes to Financial Statements (Unaudited) | | Master International Index Series |
1. Organization and Significant Accounting Policies:
Master International Index Series (the “Series”), a diversified open-end management investment company, is a series of Quantitative Master Series LLC (the “Master LLC”). The Master LLC is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), and is organized as a Delaware limited liability company. The Master LLC’s Limited Liability Company Agreement permits the Board of Directors (the “Board”) to issue non-transferable interests in the Master LLC, subject to certain limitations. The Series’ financial statements are prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“US GAAP”), which may require management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts and disclosure in the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by the Series:
Valuation: US GAAP defines fair value as the price the Series would receive to sell an asset or pay to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The Series fair values its financial instruments at market value using independent dealers or pricing services under policies approved by the Board. Equity investments traded on a recognized securities exchange or the NASDAQ Global Market System (“NASDAQ”) are valued at the last reported sale price that day or the NASDAQ official closing price, if applicable. For equity investments traded on more than one exchange, the last reported sale price on the exchange where the stock is primarily traded is used. Equity investments traded on a recognized exchange for which there were no sales on that day are valued at the last available bid (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. Financial futures contracts traded on exchanges are valued at its last sale price. Investments in open-end registered investment companies are valued at net asset value each business day. Short-term securities with remaining maturities of 60 days or less may be valued at amortized cost, which approximates fair value.
Securities and other assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into US dollars using exchange rates determined as of the close of business on the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”). Foreign currency exchange contracts are valued at the mean between the bid and ask prices and are determined as of the close of business on the NYSE. Interpolated values are derived when the settlement date of the contract is an interim date for which quotations are not available.
In the event that application of these methods of valuation results in a price for an investment which is deemed not to be representative of the market value of such investment or is not available, the investment will be valued in accordance with a policy approved by the Board as reflecting fair value (“Fair Value Assets”). When determining the price for Fair Value Assets, the investment advisor and/or the sub-advisor seeks to determine the price that the Series might reasonably expect to receive from the current sale of that asset in an arm’s-length transaction. Fair value determinations shall be based upon all available factors that the investment advisor and/or sub-advisor deems relevant. The pricing of all Fair Value Assets is subsequently reported to the Board or a committee thereof.
Generally, trading in foreign instruments is substantially completed each day at various times prior to the close of business on the NYSE. Occasionally, events affecting the values of such instruments may occur between the foreign market close and the close of business on the NYSE that may not be reflected in the computation of the Series’ net assets. If events (for example, a company announcement, market volatility or a natural disaster) occur during such periods that are expected to materially affect the value of such instruments, those instruments may be Fair Value Assets and be valued at their fair value, as determined in good faith by the investment advisor using a pricing service and/or policies approved by the Board. Each business day, the Series uses a pricing service to assist with the valuation of certain foreign exchange-traded equity securities and foreign exchange-traded and OTC options (the “Systematic Fair Value Price”). Using current market factors, the Systematic Fair Value Price is designed to value such foreign securities and foreign options at fair value as of the close of business on the NYSE, which follows the close of the local markets.
Foreign Currency Transactions: The Series’ books and records are maintained in US dollars. Purchases and sales of investment securities are recorded at the rates of exchange prevailing on the date the transactions are entered into. Generally, when the US dollar rises in value against a foreign currency, the Series’ investments denominated in that currency will lose value because its currency is worth fewer US dollars; the opposite effect occurs if the US dollar falls in relative value.
The Series reports 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.
Segregation and Collateralization: In cases in which the 1940 Act and the interpretive positions of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) require that the Series either deliver collateral or segregate assets in connection with certain investments (e.g., financial futures contracts and foreign currency exchange contracts), the Series will, consistent with SEC rules and/or certain interpretive letters issued by the SEC, segregate collateral or designate on its books and records cash or liquid securities having a market value at least equal to the amount that would otherwise be required to be physically segregated. Furthermore, based on requirements and agreements with certain exchanges and third party broker-dealers, each party to such transactions has requirements to deliver/deposit securities as collateral for certain investments.

Notes to Financial Statements (continued) | | Master International Index Series |
Investment Transactions and Investment Income: For financial reporting purposes, investment transactions are recorded on the dates the transactions are entered into (the trade dates). Realized gains and losses on investment transactions are determined on the identified cost basis. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend dates. Dividends from foreign securities where the ex-dividend date may have passed are subsequently recorded when the Series 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.
Income Taxes: The Series is classified as a partnership for federal income tax purposes. As such, each investor in the Series is treated as the owner of its proportionate share of the net assets, income, expenses and realized and unrealized gains and losses of the Master LLC. Therefore, no federal income tax provision is required. It is intended that the Series’ assets will be managed so an investor in the Series can satisfy the requirements of Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended.
The Series files US federal and various state and local tax returns. No income tax returns are currently under examination. The statute of limitations on the Series’ US federal tax returns remains open for each of the four years ended December 31, 2010. The statutes of limitations on the Series’ state and local tax returns may remain open for an additional year depending upon the jurisdiction. Management does not believe there are any uncertain tax positions that require recognition of a tax liability.
Recent Accounting Standard: In May 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued amended guidance to improve disclosure about fair value measurements which will require the following disclosures for fair value measurements categorized as Level 3: quantitative information about unobservable inputs and assumptions used in the fair value measurement, a description of the valuation policies and procedures and a narrative description of the sensitivity of the fair value measurement to changes in unobservable inputs and the interrelationships between those unobservable inputs. In addition, the amounts and reasons for all transfers in and out of Level 1 and Level 2 will be required to be disclosed. The amended guidance is effective for financial statements for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2011, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Management is evaluating the impact of this guidance on the Series’ financial statements and disclosures.
Other: Expenses directly related to the Series are charged to the Series. Other operating expenses shared by several funds are pro rated among those funds on the basis of relative net assets or other appropriate methods. The Series has an arrangement with the custodian whereby fees may be reduced by credits earned on uninvested cash balances, which, if applicable, are shown as fees paid indirectly in the Statement of Operations. The custodian imposes fees on overdrawn cash balances, which can be offset by accumulated credits earned or may result in additional custody charges.
2. Derivative Financial Instruments:
The Series engages in various portfolio investment strategies using derivative contracts both to increase the returns of the Series and to economically hedge, or protect, its exposure to certain risks such as equity risk and foreign currency exchange rate risk. These contracts may be transacted on an exchange or OTC.
Losses may arise if the value of the contract decreases due to an unfavorable change in the market rates or values of the underlying instrument or if the counterparty does not perform under the contract. The Series’ maximum risk of loss from counterparty credit risk on OTC derivatives is generally the aggregate unrealized gain netted against any collateral pledged by/posted to the counterparty. Counterparty risk related to exchange-traded financial futures contracts is deemed to be minimal due to the protection against defaults provided by the exchange on which these contracts trade.
The Series may mitigate counterparty risk by procuring collateral and through netting provisions included within an International Swaps and Derivatives Association, Inc. master agreement (“ISDA Master Agreement”) implemented between the Series and each of its respective counterparties. The ISDA Master Agreement allows the Series to offset with each separate counterparty certain derivative financial instrument’s payables and/or receivables with collateral held. The amount of collateral moved to/from applicable counterparties is generally based upon minimum transfer amounts of up to $500,000. To the extent amounts due to the Series from its counterparties are not fully collateralized contractually or otherwise, the Series bears the risk of loss from counterparty non-performance. See Note 1 “Segregation and Collateralization” for information with respect to collateral practices. In addition, the Series manages counterparty risk by entering into agreements only with counterparties that it believes have the financial resources to honor its obligations and by monitoring the financial stability of those counterparties.
Certain ISDA Master Agreements allow counterparties to OTC derivatives to terminate derivative contracts prior to maturity in the event the Series’ net assets decline by a stated percentage or the Series fails to meet the terms of its ISDA Master Agreements, which would cause the Series to accelerate payment of any net liability owed to the counterparty.
Financial Futures Contracts: The Series purchases or sells financial futures contracts and options on financial futures contracts to gain exposure to, or economically hedge against, changes in the value of equity securities (equity risk) or foreign currencies (foreign currency exchange rate risk). Financial futures contracts are agreements between the Series and the counterparty to buy or sell a specific quantity of an underlying instrument at a specified price and at a specified date. Depending on the terms of the particular contract, futures contracts are settled either through physical delivery of the underlying instrument on the settlement date or by payment of a cash settlement amount on the settlement date. Pursuant to the contract, the Series agrees to receive from or pay to the
| | |
| | |
MASTER INTERNATIONAL INDEX SERIES | | JUNE 30, 2011 |

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

3. Investment Advisory Agreement and Other Transactions with Affiliates:
The PNC Financial Services Group, Inc. (“PNC”) and Barclays Bank PLC (“Barclays”) are the largest stockholders of BlackRock, Inc. (“BlackRock”). Due to the ownership structure, PNC is an affiliate of the Series for 1940 Act purposes, but Barclays is not.
The Master LLC, on behalf of the Series, entered into an Investment Advisory Agreement with BlackRock Advisors, LLC (the “Manager”), the Master LLC’s investment advisor, an indirect, wholly owned subsidiary of BlackRock, to provide investment advisory and administration services. The Manager is responsible for the management of the Series’ portfolio and provides the necessary personnel, facilities, equipment and certain other services necessary to the operations of the Series. For such services, the Series pays the Manager a monthly fee at an annual rate of 0.01% of the average daily value of the Series’ net assets.
The Manager entered into a contractual arrangement with the Master LLC with respect to the Series under which the Manager will waive and/or reimburse its fees and/or expenses so that the total annual operating expenses incurred by the Series excluding interest expense, dividend expense, acquired fund fees and expenses and certain other Series’ expenses will not exceed 0.12% of the average daily value of the Series’ net assets. The Manager has agreed not to reduce or discontinue this contractual waiver or reimbursement prior to May 1, 2012 unless approved by the Board, including a majority of the independent Directors. For the
| | |

| | |
| | |
Notes to Financial Statements (concluded) | | Master International Index Series |
six months ended June 30, 2011, the Series waived $2,108, which is included in fees waived by advisor in the Statement of Operations.
The Manager voluntarily agreed to waive its investment advisory fees by the amount of investment advisory fees the Series pays to the Manager indirectly through its investment in affiliated money market funds, however the Manager does not waive its investment advisory fees by the amount of investment advisory fees paid through the Series’ investment in other affiliated investment companies, if any. For the six months ended June 30, 2011, the Series waived $1,207, which is included in fees waived by advisor in the Statement of Operations.
The Manager entered into a sub-advisory agreement with BlackRock Investment Management LLC (“BIM”), an affiliate of the Manager. The Manager pays BIM for services it provides, a monthly fee that is a percentage of the investment advisory fees paid by the Series to the Manager.
For the six months ended June 30, 2011, the Series reimbursed the Manager $4,824 for certain accounting services, which is included in accounting services in the Statement of Operations.
Certain officers and/or directors of the Master LLC are officers and/or directors of BlackRock or its affiliates.
4. Investments:
Purchases and sales of investments, excluding short-term securities, for the six months ended June 30, 2011, were $82,207,960 and $12,909,177, respectively.
5. Borrowings:
The Master LLC, on behalf of the Series, along with certain other funds managed by the Manager and its affiliates, is a party to a $500 million credit agreement with a group of lenders, which expires in November 2011. The Series may borrow under the credit agreement to fund shareholder redemptions. The Series pays a commitment fee of 0.08% per annum based on the Series’ pro rata share of the unused portion of the credit agreement and interest at a rate equal to the higher of (a) the one-month LIBOR plus 1.00% per annum and (b) the Fed Funds rate plus 1.00% per annum on amounts borrowed. In addition, the Series paid administration and arrangement fees which were allocated to the Series based on its net assets as of October 31, 2010. The Series did not borrow under the credit agreement during the six months ended June 30, 2011.
6. Concentration, Market and Credit Risk:
In the normal course of business, the Series invests in securities and enters into transactions where risks exist due to fluctuations in the market (market risk) or failure of the issuer of a security to meet all its obligations (issuer credit risk). The value of securities held by the Series may decline in response to certain events, including those directly involving the issuers whose securities are owned by the Series; conditions affecting the general economy; overall market changes; local, regional or global political, social or economic instability; and currency and interest rate and price fluctuations. Similar to issuer credit risk, the Series may be exposed to counter-party credit risk, or the risk that an entity with which the Series has unsettled or open transactions may fail to or be unable to perform on its commitments. The Series manages counterparty credit risk by entering into transactions only with counterparties that it believes have the financial resources to honor their obligations and by monitoring the financial stability of those counterparties. Financial assets, which potentially expose the Series to market, issuer and counterparty credit risks, consist principally of financial instruments and receivables due from counterparties. The extent of the Series’ exposure to market, issuer and counterparty credit risks with respect to these financial assets is generally approximated by their value recorded in the Series’ Statement of Assets and Liabilities, less any collateral held by the Series.
The Series invests a substantial amount of its assets in issuers located in a single country or a limited number of countries. When the Series concentrates its investments in this manner, it assumes the risk that economic, political and social conditions in those countries may have a significant impact on their investment performance. Please see the Schedule of Investments for concentrations in specific countries.
As of June 30, 2011, the Series had the following industry classifications:
| | | | |
| | Percent of | |
| | Long-Term | |
Industry | | Investments | |
Commercial Banks | | | 12 | % |

Pharmaceuticals | | | 7 | % |
Metals & Mining | | | 6 | % |
Other* | | | 68 | % |
| | |
* | | All other industries held were each less than 5% of long-term investments. |
7. Subsequent Events:
Management has evaluated the impact of all subsequent events on the Series through the date the financial statements were issued and has determined that there were no subsequent events requiring adjustment or additional disclosure in the financial statements.

Disclosure of Investment Advisory Agreement and Sub-Advisory Agreement
The Board of Directors (the “Board,” and the members of which are referred to as “Board Members”) of Quantitative Master Series LLC (the “Master LLC”) met on April 5, 2011 and May 17—18, 2011 to consider the approval of the Master LLC’s investment advisory agreement (the “Advisory Agreement”) with BlackRock Advisors, LLC (the “Manager”), the Master LLC’s investment advisor, on behalf of the Master International Index Series (the “Master Portfolio”), a series of the Master LLC. The Board of Directors of the Master LLC also considered the approval of the sub-advisory agreement (the “Sub-Advisory Agreement”) between the Manager and BlackRock Investment Management, LLC (the “Sub-Advisor”), with respect to the Master Portfolio. The Manager and the Sub-Advisor are referred to herein as “BlackRock.” The Advisory Agreement and the Sub-Advisory Agreement are referred to herein as the “Agreements.”
Activities and Composition of the Board
The Board consists of thirteen individuals, eleven of whom are not “interested persons” of the Master LLC as defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”) (the “Independent Board Members”). The Board Members are responsible for the oversight of the operations of the Master LLC 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 Co-Chairs of the Board are each Independent Board Members. The Board has established five standing committees: an Audit Committee, a Governance and Nominating Committee, a Compliance Committee, a Performance Oversight and Contract Committee and an Executive Committee, each of which is composed of Independent Board Members (except for the Executive Committee, which also has one interested Board Member) and is chaired by Independent Board Members. The Board also established an ad hoc committee, the Joint Product Pricing Committee, which consisted of Independent Board Members and directors/trustees of the boards of certain other BlackRock-managed funds, who were not “interested persons” of their respective funds.
The Agreements
Pursuant to the 1940 Act, the Board is required to consider the continuation of the Agreements on an annual basis. In connection with this process, the Board assessed, among other things, the nature, scope and quality of the services provided to the Master Portfolio by BlackRock, its personnel and its affiliates, including investment management, administrative and shareholder services, oversight of fund accounting and custody, marketing services, risk oversight, compliance program 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 to the Master Portfolio and its shareholders. Among the matters the Board considered were: (a) investment performance of an affiliated feeder fund that invests all of its investable assets in the Master Portfolio (the “representative feeder fund”) for one-, three- and five-year 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, administration, if applicable, and other amounts paid to BlackRock and its affiliates by the Master Portfolio for services, such as marketing and distribution and fund accounting; (c) the Master Portfolio’s operating expenses and how BlackRock allocates expenses to the Master Portfolio; (d) the resources devoted to, risk oversight of, and compliance reports relating to, implementation of the Master Portfolio’s investment objective, policies and restrictions; (e) the Master LLC’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 and other service providers’ internal controls and risk and compliance oversight mechanisms; (h) BlackRock’s implementation of the proxy voting policies approved by the Board; (i) the use of brokerage commissions and execution quality of portfolio transactions; (j) BlackRock’s implementation of the Master LLC’s valuation and liquidity procedures; (k) an analysis of contractual and actual 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 business.
Board Considerations in Approving the Agreements
The Approval Process: Prior to the April 5, 2011 meeting, the Board requested and received materials specifically relating to the Agreements. The Board is engaged in a process with BlackRock to review periodically the nature and scope of the information provided to better assist its deliberations. The materials provided in connection with the April meeting included (a) information independently compiled and prepared by Lipper, Inc. (“Lipper”) on fees and expenses of the Master Portfolio and the representative feeder fund, as applicable, and the investment performance of the representative feeder fund as compared with a peer group of funds as determined by Lipper (collectively, “Peers”), as well as the gross investment performance of the representative feeder fund as compared with its benchmark; (b) information on the profitability of the Agreements to BlackRock and a discussion of fall-out benefits to BlackRock and its affiliates and significant shareholders; (c) a general analysis provided by BlackRock concerning investment management fees (a combination of the advisory fee and the administration fee, if any) 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) the impact of economies of scale; (e) a summary of aggregate amounts paid by the Master Portfolio to BlackRock; and (f) if applicable, a comparison of management fees to similar BlackRock open-end funds, as classified by Lipper.

Disclosure of Investment Advisory Agreement and Sub-Advisory Agreement (continued)
At an in-person meeting held on April 5, 2011, the Board reviewed materials relating to its consideration of the Agreements. As a result of the discussions that occurred during the April 5, 2011 meeting, and as a culmination of the Board’s year-long deliberative process, the Board presented BlackRock with questions and requests for additional information. BlackRock responded to these requests with additional written information in advance of the May 17—18, 2011 Board meeting.
At an in-person meeting held on May 17—18, 2011, the Board, including the Independent Board Members, unanimously approved the continuation of the Advisory Agreement between the Manager and the Master LLC with respect to the Master Portfolio and the Sub-Advisory Agreement between the Manager and the Sub-Advisor with respect to the Master Portfolio, each for a one-year term ending June 30, 2012. In approving the continuation of the Agreements, the Board considered: (a) the nature, extent and quality of the services provided by BlackRock; (b) the investment performance of the Master Portfolio and BlackRock; (c) the advisory fee and the cost of the services and profits to be realized by BlackRock and its affiliates from their relationship with the Master Portfolio; (d) economies of scale; (e) fall out benefits to BlackRock as a result of its relationship with the Master Portfolio; 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 Master Portfolio shares, services related to the valuation and pricing of portfolio holdings of the Master Portfolio, direct and indirect benefits to BlackRock and its affiliates and significant shareholders from their relationship with the Master Portfolio 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 controlling, and each Board Member may have attributed different weights to the various items considered.
A. Nature, Extent and Quality of the Services Provided by BlackRock: The Board, including the Independent Board Members, reviewed the nature, extent and quality of services provided by BlackRock, including the investment advisory services and the resulting performance of the Master Portfolio. The Board received information regarding the investment performance of the representative feeder fund. 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 the portfolio management team discussing performance of the representative feeder fund and the Master Portfolio’s investment objective, strategies and outlook.
The Board considered, among other factors, the number, education and experience of BlackRock’s investment personnel generally and the Master Portfolio’s portfolio management team, investments by portfolio managers in the funds they manage, BlackRock’s portfolio trading capabilities, BlackRock’s use of technology, BlackRock’s commitment to compliance, BlackRock’s credit analysis capabilities, BlackRock’s risk analysis capabilities and BlackRock’s approach to training and retaining portfolio managers and other research, advisory and management personnel. The Board engaged in a review of BlackRock’s compensation structure with respect to the Master Portfolio’s portfolio management team and BlackRock’s ability to attract and retain high-quality talent and create performance incentives.
In addition to advisory services, the Board considered the quality of the administrative and non-investment advisory services provided to the Master Portfolio. BlackRock and its affiliates and significant shareholders provide the Master Portfolio with certain administrative, transfer agency, shareholder and other services (in addition to any such services provided to the Master Portfolio by third parties) and officers and other personnel as are necessary for the operations of the Master Portfolio. In addition to investment advisory services, BlackRock and its affiliates provide the Master Portfolio with other services, including (i) preparing disclosure documents, such as the prospectus, 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 the Master Portfolio, such as tax reporting, fulfilling regulatory filing requirements and call center services. The Board reviewed the structure and duties of BlackRock’s fund administration, accounting, legal and compliance departments and considered BlackRock’s policies and procedures for assuring compliance with applicable laws and regulations.
B. The Investment Performance of the Master Portfolio and BlackRock: The Board, including the Independent Board Members, also reviewed and considered the performance history of the Master Portfolio. The Board noted that the Master Portfolio’s investment results correspond directly to the investment results of the representative feeder fund. In preparation for the April 5, 2011 meeting, the Board worked with BlackRock and Lipper to develop a template for, and was provided with, reports independently prepared by Lipper, which included a comprehensive analysis of the representative feeder 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 the representative feeder fund as compared to funds in the representative feeder fund’s applicable Lipper category and the gross investment performance of the representative feeder fund as compared with its benchmark. The Board was provided with a description of the methodology used by Lipper to select peer funds. The Board and the Board’s Performance Oversight and Contract Committee regularly review and meet with Master Portfolio management to

Disclosure of Investment Advisory Agreement and Sub-Advisory Agreement (continued)
discuss the performance of the Master Portfolio and the representative feeder fund, as applicable, throughout the year.
The Board noted that the representative feeder fund’s gross performance exceeded its benchmark index during each of the one-, three- and five-year periods reported.
The Board noted that BlackRock has made changes to the organization of the overall equity group management structure designed to result in a strengthened leadership team with clearer accountability.
C. Consideration of the Advisory/Management Fees and the Cost of the Services and Profits to be Realized by BlackRock and its Affiliates from their Relationship with the Master Portfolio: The Board, including the Independent Board Members, reviewed the representative feeder fund’s contractual management fee ratio compared with the other funds in the representative feeder fund’s Lipper category. It also compared the representative feeder fund’s total expense ratio, as well as actual management fee ratio, to those of other funds in its Lipper category. The Board considered the services provided and the fees charged by BlackRock to other types of clients with similar investment mandates, including separately managed institutional accounts.
The Board received and reviewed statements relating to BlackRock’s financial condition and profitability with respect to the services it provided the Master Portfolio. The Board was also provided with a profitability analysis that detailed the revenues earned and the expenses incurred by BlackRock for services provided to the Master Portfolio. The Board reviewed BlackRock’s profitability with respect to the Master Portfolio and other funds the Board currently oversees for the year ended December 31, 2010 compared to available aggregate profitability data provided for the years ended December 31, 2009 and December 31, 2008. The Board reviewed BlackRock’s profitability with respect to 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, expense allocations and business mix, and the difficulty of comparing profitability as a result of those factors.
The Board noted that, in general, individual fund or product line profitability of other advisors is not publicly available. The Board considered BlackRock’s operating margin, in general, compared to the operating margin for leading investment management firms whose operations include advising open-end funds, among other product types. That data indicates that operating margins for BlackRock, in general and with respect to its registered funds, are generally consistent with margins earned by similarly situated publicly traded competitors. In addition, the Board considered, among other things, certain third party data comparing BlackRock’s operating margin with that of other publicly-traded asset management firms. That third party data indicates that larger asset bases do not, in themselves, translate to higher profit margins.
In addition, the Board considered the cost of the services provided to the Master Portfolio by BlackRock, and BlackRock’s and its affiliates’ profits relating to the management and distribution of the Master Portfolio and the other funds advised by BlackRock and its affiliates. As part of its analysis, the Board reviewed BlackRock’s methodology in allocating its costs to the management of the Master Portfolio. The Board also considered whether BlackRock has the financial resources necessary to attract and retain high-quality investment management personnel to perform its obligations under the Agreements and to continue to provide the high quality of services that is expected by the Board.
The Board noted that the representative feeder fund’s contractual management fee ratio (a combination of the advisory fee and the administration fee, if any) was lower than or equal to the median contractual management fee ratio paid by the representative feeder fund’s Peers, in each case before taking into account any expense reimbursements or fee waivers. The Board also noted that BlackRock has contractually agreed to waive fees and/or reimburse expenses in order to limit, to a specified amount, the Master Portfolio’s total operating expenses as a percentage of the Master Portfolio’s average daily net assets.
D. Economies of Scale: The Board, including the Independent Board Members, considered the extent to which economies of scale might be realized as the assets of the Master Portfolio increase. The Board also considered the extent to which the Master Portfolio benefit from such economies and whether there should be changes in the advisory fee rate or structure in order to enable the Master Portfolio to participate in these economies of scale, for example through the use of breakpoints in the advisory fee based upon the asset level of the Master Portfolio.
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 and significant shareholders may derive from their respective relationships with the Master Portfolio, 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 and significant shareholders as service providers to the Master Portfolio, including for administrative, distribution and securities lending services. The Board also considered BlackRock’s overall operations and its efforts to expand the scale of, and improve the quality of, its operations. The Board also noted that BlackRock may use and benefit from third party research obtained by soft dollars generated by certain registered fund transactions to assist in managing all or a number of its other client

accounts. The Board further noted that BlackRock’s funds may invest in affiliated 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 brokerage and soft dollar practices. The Board received reports from BlackRock which included information on brokerage commissions and trade execution practices throughout the year.
Conclusion
The Board of the Master LLC, including the Independent Board Members, unanimously approved the continuation of the Advisory Agreement between the Manager and the Master LLC, with respect to the Master Portfolio, for a one-year term ending June 30, 2012 and the Sub-Advisory Agreement between the Manager and the Sub-Advisor, with respect to the Master Portfolio, for a one-year term ending June 30, 2012. As part of its approval, the Board of the Master LLC considered the detailed review of BlackRock’s fee structure, as it applies to the Master LLC, conducted by the ad hoc Joint Product Pricing Committee. Based upon its evaluation of all of the aforementioned factors in their totality, the Board of the Master LLC, including the Independent Board Members, was satisfied that the terms of the Agreements were fair and reasonable and in the best interest of the Master Portfolio and its shareholders. In arriving at its decision to approve the Agreements, the Board of the Master LLC did not identify any single factor or group of factors as all-important or controlling, but considered all factors together, and different Board Members may have attributed different weights to the various factors considered. The Independent Board Members were also assisted by the advice of independent legal counsel in making this determination. The contractual fee arrangements for the Master Portfolio reflect the results of several years of review by the Board Members and predecessor Board Members, and discussions between such Board Members (and predecessor Board Members) and BlackRock. As a result, the Board Members’ conclusions may be based in part on their consideration of these arrangements in prior years.
