The Bridgeway Large Cap Value Fund may invest in futures contracts, which are a type of derivative investment. Investing in derivatives could result in losing more than the amount invested. Investing in foreign securities entails additional risk not associated with domestic securities, such as currency fluctuations, economic and political instability and differences in accounting standards. The intrinsic value of stocks selected for the Fund may never be realized by the market, and the prices of value stocks may go down. While investing in value stocks may limit downside risk over time, the Fund may produce more modest gains than riskier stock funds as a trade-off for this potentially lower risk. The Holland Large Cap Growth Fund may invest in futures contracts, which are a type of derivative investment. Investing in derivatives could result in losing more than the amount invested. Investing in foreign securities entails additional risk not associated with domestic securities, such as currency fluctuations, economic and political instability and differences in accounting standards. Growth stocks typically are more volatile than value stocks; however, value stocks have a lower expected growth rate in earnings and sales. Because the Fund may invest in fewer companies than a more diversified portfolio, the fluctuating value of a single holding may have a greater impact on the value of the Fund. The Stephens Mid-Cap Growth and Stephens Small Cap Growth Funds may invest in futures contracts, which are a type of derivative investment. Investing in derivatives could result in losing more than the amount invested. Investing in foreign securities entails additional risk not associated with domestic securities, such as currency fluctuations, economic and political instability and differences in accounting standards. Investing in the securities of small and mid-capitalization companies involves greater risk and the possibility of greater price volatility than investing in larger capitalization and more established companies. Growth stocks typically are more volatile than value stocks; however, value stocks have a lower expected growth rate in earnings and sales. The Stephens Small Cap Growth Fund may participate in a securities lending program. Please see the prospectus for a complete discussion of each Fund’s risks. There can be no assurances that the investment objectives of these Funds will be met.
Any opinions herein, including forecasts, reflect our judgment as of the end of the reporting period and are subject to change. The advisor’s strategies and the Fund’s portfolio composition will change depending on economic and market conditions.

American Beacon Funds | December 31, 2013 |
Dear Shareholders,
The year 2013 was a record-setting one for the stock markets. The S&P 500 Index rose by more than 32%, marking its best gains since 1997.
The S&P 500 is generally considered a measure of large-cap stock performance. When you look at the performance of small- and mid-capitalization stocks, the gains for 2013 become even more impressive. The Russell Midcap Growth Index returned 35.74%, and the Russell 2000 Growth Index, a small-cap stock index, returned 43.30%.
Here at American Beacon, we often talk about downside protection, the idea that it is important for investors to have some protection |
from the full brunt of a market downturn. It is equally important for their investments to participate in up markets, as we saw in 2013. We are proud to offer a broad range of equity funds that are capable of doing just that.
For the 12 months ended December 31, 2013:
• | American Beacon Bridgeway Large Cap Value Fund (Investor Class) returned 37.28%. |
• | American Beacon Holland Large Cap Growth Fund (Investor Class) returned 32.21%. |
• | American Beacon Stephens Small Cap Growth Fund (Investor Class) returned 42.62%. |
• | American Beacon Stephens Mid-Cap Growth Fund (Investor Class) returned 32.71%. |
Thank you for your continued investment in the American Beacon Funds. For additional information about the Funds or to access your account information, please visit our website at www.americanbeaconfunds.com.
Best Regards, |

Domestic Equity Market Overview
December 31, 2013 (Unaudited)
U.S. domestic equity markets continued their upward momentum from 2012 and notched double-digit gains in 2013, with the S&P 500 Index up 32.39% and the Russell 3000 Index up 33.55%. This was the fifth consecutive year that the S&P 500 Index has posted positive returns and the fourth out of five years that those gains were double digits. Smaller stocks fared even better: The Russell Midcap Index increased by 34.76% over the course of the year, while the Russell 2000 Index, a small-cap benchmark, rose by 38.82%.
The year started with a significant rally for domestic equity markets the day after Congress and the White House made a last-minute agreement to keep the U.S. from falling off the “fiscal cliff.” From there, broad equity market indexes crept into record territory spurred by improving economic conditions, solid earnings, the Federal Reserve (“the Fed”) continuing to pump money into the system, solid earnings, and turmoil in Washington settling down. Outside of the U.S., there was further concern about the future financial stability of the eurozone. Despite this uncertainty, U.S. equity markets continued to climb, buoyed by a rebounding housing market, strong corporate balance sheets, and lower unemployment. At the end of the first quarter, on March 28, the S&P 500 Index finally surpassed its pre-crash high, closing at its highest mark since October 2007.
The second quarter of 2013 was also positive, although with some ups and downs. Just as the disappointing unemployment numbers rattled the market in April, a positive surprise to the upside rallied the market in May with the unemployment rate dropping to 7.5% and employment increasing by 165,000 jobs. The stock market momentum tapered toward the end of the quarter with worries about the Fed scaling back asset purchases in response to economic stabilization, thus allowing long-term interest rates to rise.
The third quarter of 2013 continued the positive momentum of the prior quarters. Strong economic reports, strong earnings reports and further Fed talk gave way for a positive start to the quarter. However, there was talk in August that the Fed would slow asset purchases at its next meeting in late September, creating uncertainty in the markets and sending the indexes lower for the month. To the surprise of many, the Fed announced that stimulus measures would stay in place, contrary to the widely held belief that the Fed would begin scaling back its asset purchases.
The domestic equity markets rose sharply in the fourth quarter of 2013, capping off a year that was one of the best for stocks since 1995. The quarter began with the U.S. government entering a partial shutdown after Congress failed to pass a continuing resolution to fund the federal budget. Despite the turmoil, October was a positive month for the markets. November was a month of record high after record high for the broader U.S. markets with the Dow Jones Industrial Average setting 12 closing records. The quarter and the year ended with a strong month of gains in December. During the month, the Fed announced that it will reduce asset purchases by $10 billion per month starting in January while committing to keeping short-term interest rates near 0%.
All 10 of the S&P 500’s sectors ended the year with positive returns. The S&P 500 Index finished with its best year since 1997, and the Dow Jones Industrial Average had its best year since 1995. The small-cap Russell 2000 Index posted its best year since 2003 and its second-best year since 1991.

American Beacon Bridgeway Large Cap Value FundSM
Performance Overview
December 31, 2013 (Unaudited)
From a stock selection standpoint, the Fund’s Energy and Consumer Staples companies contributed most to excess performance, adding approximately 105 (1.05%) and 80 (0.80%) basis points, respectively. In the Energy sector, an average underweight in Exxon Mobil (up 13.0%) and positions in Marathon Petroleum (up 48.8%) and Valero Energy (up 50.8%) contributed most to the Fund’s returns. Green Mountain Coffee (up 68.6%), Constellation Brands (up 52.6%) and an average underweight in Procter & Gamble (up 23.3%) were the largest contributors in the Consumer Staples sector. The Fund’s Information Technology sector, where Micron Technology (up 94.7%) and Western Digital (up 83.0%) were the largest contributors, also added relative value. Good performance in the aforementioned sectors was somewhat offset by poor stock selection in the Consumer Discretionary and Materials sectors. A large overweight in Dillard’s, which was only up 0.9%, and a position in Pulte Group (down 12.4%) detracted relative value in the Consumer Discretionary sector. Cliffs Natural Resources (down 53.1%) and not owning Rock Tenn, which was up 51.5% in the Index, detracted from performance in the Materials sector.
The Fund’s average overweight position in Consumer Discretionary and Information Tech-nology, the two best performing sectors in the Index, added approximately 25 (0.25%) and 20 (0.20%) basis points, respectively, through sector allocation. A significant overweight in the Consumer Staples sector also contributed to Fund performance.
The sub-advisor continues to invest in a broadly diversified portfolio of companies that they believe have attractive valuations and above-average earnings growth potential. This approach should allow the Fund to benefit over the longer term.

80.6%) had the greatest impact to performance in the Consumer Discretionary sector. Companies in the Financials sector also contributed to the Fund’s returns. In the Financials sector, TD Ameritrade (up 89.9%) and BlackRock (up 58.5%) were the largest contributors. Good performance in the afore-mentioned sectors was somewhat offset by poor stock selection in the Health Care sector which detracted more than 130 basis points (1.30%) from performance. Large overweights in Covidien (up 18.3%) and Davita Healthcare Partners (up 14.5%) detracted relative value.
The Fund’s underweight position in the Consumer Staples sector contributed approximately 30 basis points (0.30%) to performance through sector allocation. Being absent from Tele-communication Services, the worst performing sector in the Index, also added approximately 30 basis points (0.30%). A significant underweight position in the Industrials sector and an overweight in the Information Technology sector detracted from Fund performance.
Looking forward, the Fund’s sub-advisor will continue to maintain a disciplined, long-term approach to equity investing in larger stocks with above-average growth potential.

Performance Overview
December 31, 2013 (Unaudited)
in the Financials sector that had the greatest impact to Fund performance were Euronet Worldwide (up 99.7%), Radian Group (up 90.9%) and Hilltop Holdings (up 69.8%). The Fund’s Health Care and Consumer Discretionary sectors also contributed to performance. In the Health Care sector, Medidata Solutions (up 210.4%), Pacira Pharmaceuticals (up 230.5%) and Proto Labs (up 85.3%) added the most relative value. Krispy Kreme Doughnuts (up 126.4%), Lions Gate Entertainment (up 97.7%) and DXP Enterprises (up 100.6%) were the largest contributors in the Consumer Discretionary sector. The aforementioned good performance was somewhat offset by poor stock selection in the Information Technology and Consumer Staples sectors which detracted approximately 185 (1.85%) and 105 (1.05%) basis points, respectively, from performance. OSI Systems (down 26.1%), Vocus (down 52.5%) and Semtech (down 14.2%) detracted most from Fund returns in the Information Technology sector. The Consumer Staples sector was hurt by The Fresh Market (up 1.5%) and Steiner Leisure (down 2.3%) which detracted relative value.
The Fund’s underweight in Materials, the worst performing sector in the Index, contributed more than 55 basis points (0.55%) to performance through sector allocation. This good performance was slightly offset by a significant overweight position in the Energy sector, which detracted approximately 20 basis points (0.20%) from the Fund’s returns.
Looking forward, the Fund’s sub-advisor will continue to maintain a disciplined, long-term approach to equity investing in smaller capitalization stocks with above-average growth potential.

The Fund’s poor performance was attributed to stock selection as sector allocation added value relative to the Index. From a stock selection standpoint, holdings in the Industrials sector detracted from the Fund’s performance. HMS Holdings (down 11.9%) was the largest

detractor in the Industrials sector. Not owning Delta Air Lines, which was up 132.6% in the Index, also negatively impacted Fund returns. Companies in the Health Care and Consumer Discretionary sectors also detracted value relative to the Index. In the Health Care sector, Intuitive Surgical (down 23.2%) and a significant overweight in Catamaran, which was only up 0.5%, detracted from the Fund’s performance. Lululemon Athletica (down 22.6%) and not owning Netflix, which was up 297.6% in the Index, hurt performance in the Consumer Discretionary sector. Good stock selection in the Financials and Information Technology sectors added relative value. In the Financials sector, Affiliated Managers Group (up 67.8%), SVB Financial Group (up 69.0%) and East West Bancorp (up 66.5%) were the largest contributors. Stratasys (up 74.5%), Cree (up 83.9%) and Alliance Data Systems (up 81.6%) added to performance in the Information Technology sector.
A significant underweight in the Materials sector contributed more than 60 basis points (0.60%) relative to the Index through sector allocation. This was mostly offset by an overweight in the Information Technology sector which detracted more than 50 basis points (0.50%) from the Fund’s returns.
Looking forward, the Fund’s sub-advisor will continue to maintain a disciplined, long-term approach to equity investing in medium capitalization stocks with above-average growth potential.

Fund Expenses
December 31, 2013 (Unaudited)
Fund Expense Example
As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) on purchase payments and redemption fees if applicable, and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees, administrative service fees, distribution (12b-1) fees, and other Fund expenses. The examples below are intended to help you understand the ongoing costs (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 in each Class and held for the entire period from July 1, 2013 through December 31, 2013.
Actual Expenses
The “Actual” lines of the table provide 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 of the Institutional and Investor Classes that invest in the Fund through an IRA or Roth 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” lines of the table provide 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 of the Institutional and Investor Classes that invest in the Fund through an IRA or Roth 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 the Fund, such as sales charges (loads). 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” lines of the table are 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.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the Shareholders and the Board of Trustees of
American Beacon Bridgeway Large Cap Value Fund, American Beacon Holland Large Cap Growth Fund, American Beacon Stephens Mid-Cap Growth Fund, and American Beacon Stephens Small Cap Growth Fund:
We have audited the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities, including the schedules of investments, of American Beacon Bridgeway Large Cap Value Fund, American Beacon Holland Large Cap Growth Fund, American Beacon Stephens Mid-Cap Growth Fund, and American Beacon Stephens Small Cap Growth Fund (four of the funds constituting the American Beacon Funds) (collectively, the “Funds”), as of December 31, 2013, the related statements of operations for the year then ended, and the statements of changes in net assets and the financial highlights for the periods indicated therein. These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Funds’ management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and financial highlights based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and financial highlights are free of material misstatement. We were not engaged to perform an audit of the Funds’ internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of each Fund’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements and financial highlights, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of December 31, 2013, by correspondence with the custodian and brokers or by other appropriate auditing procedures where replies from brokers were not received. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of American Beacon Bridgeway Large Cap Value Fund, American Beacon Holland Large Cap Growth Fund, American Beacon Stephens Mid-Cap Growth Fund, and American Beacon Stephens Small Cap Growth Fund at December 31, 2013, the results of their operations for the year then ended, and the changes in their net assets and the financial highlights for the periods indicated therein, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

1. Organization and Significant Accounting Policies
American Beacon Funds (the “Trust”), which is comprised of twenty-seven Funds, is organized as a Massachusetts business trust and is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “Act”), as a diversified, open-end management investment company. These financial statements and notes to the financial statements relate to the American Beacon Bridgeway Large Cap Value Fund, the American Beacon Holland Large Cap Growth Fund, the American Beacon Stephens Small Cap Growth Fund, and the American Beacon Stephens Mid-Cap Growth 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.
Class Disclosure
Each 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 directly or through an intermediary | |||
A Class | General public and investors investing through an intermediary with applicable sales charges, which may include a front-end sales charge and a contingent deferred sales charge (“CDSC”) | |||
C Class | General public and investors investing through an intermediary with applicable sales charges, which may include a CDSC |
Each class offered by the Trust has equal rights as to assets and voting privileges. Income and non-class specific expenses are allocated daily to each class on the basis of the relative net assets. Realized and unrealized capital gains and losses of each class are allocated daily based on the relative net assets of each class of the respective Fund. Class specific expenses, where applicable, currently include administrative service fees, service fees, and distribution fees and vary amongst the classes as described more fully in Note 2.
Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements
In December 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2011-11, Balance Sheet (Topic 210): Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities. The amendments in the ASU enhance disclosures about offsetting of financial assets and liabilities to enable investors to understand the effect of these arrangements on a fund’s financial position. In January 2013, FASB issued ASU No. 2013-01, Balance Sheet (Topic 210): Clarifying the Scope of Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities. The amendments in ASU No. 2013-01 clarify the scope of disclosures required by ASU No. 2011-11. These ASUs are effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2013, and interim periods within those annual periods. The Funds adopted ASU 2011-11 and 2013-01 effective January 1, 2013. The adoption did not have any impact on the Funds’ financial statements as the accounting standard affects only the disclosure requirements for offsetting financial instruments.
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, fund management, and securities lending services.

American Beacon FundsSM
Notes to Financial Statements
December 31, 2013
As compensation for performing the duties required under the Management Agreement, the Manager receives from the Funds an annualized fee equal to 0.05% of the average daily net assets plus amounts paid by the Manager to the unaffiliated investment advisors hired by the Manager to direct investment activities of the Funds. Management fees paid by the Funds during the year ended December 31, 2013 were as follows (in thousands):
Fund | Management Fee Rate | Management Fee | Amounts paid to Investment Advisors | Net Amounts Retained by Manager | ||||||||||||
Bridgeway Large Cap Value | 0.45 | % | $ | 729 | $ | 648 | $ | 81 | ||||||||
Holland Large Cap Growth | 0.44 | % | 357 | 317 | 40 | |||||||||||
Stephens Small Cap Growth | 0.70 | % | 2,854 | 2,587 | 267 | |||||||||||
Stephens Mid-Cap Growth | 0.55 | % | 438 | 398 | 40 |
As compensation for services provided by the Manager in connection with securities lending activities conducted by the Stephens Small Cap Growth Fund, the lending Fund pays to the Manager, with respect to cash collateral posted by borrowers, a fee up to 25% of the net monthly interest income (the gross income earned by the investment of cash collateral, less the amount paid to borrowers and related expenses) from such activities and, with respect to loan fees paid by borrowers, a fee up to 25% of such loan fees. This fee is included in Income derived from securities lending and management and investment advisory fees on the Statements of Operations. During the year ended December 31, 2013, securities lending fees paid to the Manager were $73,549.
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 0.30% of the average daily net assets of the Institutional, Y, and Investor Classes of the Funds and 0.40% of the average daily net assets of the A and C Classes of the Funds.
Distribution Plans
The Funds, except for the A and C Classes, have adopted a “defensive” Distribution Plan (the “Plan”) in accordance with Rule 12b-1 under the Act, pursuant to which no separate fees will be charged to the Funds 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 Funds do not intend to separately compensate the Manager or any other party, either directly or indirectly, for the distribution of Fund shares.
Separate Distribution Plans (the “Distribution Plans”) have been adopted pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the Act for the A and C Classes of the Funds. Under the Distribution Plans, 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 Class. 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.
Service Plans
The Manager and the Trust entered into Service Plans that obligate the Manager to oversee additional shareholder servicing of the Y, Investor, A, and C Classes. As compensation for performing the duties required under the Service Plans, the Manager receives 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.

Investment in Affiliated Funds
The Funds may invest in the American Beacon Money Market Select Fund (the “MM Select Fund”) or the U.S. Government Money Market Select Fund (the “USG Select Fund”) (collectively, the “Select Funds”). The Select Funds and the Funds have the same investment advisor and therefore, are considered to be affiliated. The Manager serves as the investment advisor to the Select Funds and receives Management and Administrative Service fees totaling 0.10% of the average daily net assets of the Select Funds. During the year ended December 31, 2013, the Manager earned $31,603 from the Stephens Small Cap Growth Fund’s securities lending collateral invested in the Select Funds.
Interfund Lending Program
Pursuant to an exemptive order issued by the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), the Funds, along with other registered investment companies having management contracts with the Manager, may participate in an interfund lending program. This program provides an alternative credit facility allowing the Funds to borrow from other participating Funds. During the year ended December 31, 2013, the Stephens Mid-Cap Growth Fund borrowed on average $339,340 for two days at 0.80% with interest charges of $14.94. This amount is recorded as interest expense on the Statements of Operations herein.
Expense Reimbursement Plan
The Manager agreed to reimburse the following Funds to the extent that total annual fund operating expenses exceeded a Fund’s expense cap. For the year ended December 31, 2013, the Manager waived or reimbursed expenses as follows:

The Funds have 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’ 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 carryover of excess expenses potentially reimbursable to the Manager are as follows:

Sales Commissions
The Funds’ 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 distribution related expenses. During the year ended December 31, 2013, Foreside collected $19,499, $2,235, $25,328, and $43,459 for Bridgeway Large Cap Value, Holland Large Cap Growth, Stephens Small Cap Growth, and Stephens Mid-Cap Growth Funds, respectively, from the sale of Class A Shares.
A CDSC of 0.50% will be deducted with respect to Class A Shares on certain purchases of $1,000,000 or more that are redeemed in whole or part within 18 months of purchase, unless waived as discussed in the Prospectus. Any applicable CDSC will be 0.50% of the lesser of the original purchase price or the value of the redemption of the Class A Shares redeemed. During the year ended December 31, 2013, there were no CDSC fees collected for Class A Shares.
A CDSC of 1.00% will be deducted with respect to Class C Shares redeemed within 12 months of purchase, unless waived as discussed in the Prospectus.

During the year ended December 31, 2013, CDSC fees of $31, $15, $718, and $56 were collected for the Bridgeway Large Cap Value, Holland Large Cap Growth, Stephens Small Cap Growth, and Stephens Mid-Cap Growth Funds, respectively.
3. Security Valuation and Fair Value Measurements
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. Equity securities, including exchange-traded funds (“ETFs”) for which market quotations are available are valued at the last sale price or official closing price (closing bid price or last evaluated quote if no sale has occurred) on the primary market or exchange on which they trade.
Investments in open-end mutual funds are valued at the closing net asset value (“NAV”) 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 the 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 Trust’s Board of Trustees (the “Board”).
Futures contracts are valued based upon their quoted daily settlement prices. Upon entering into a futures contract, a Fund is required to deposit with its futures broker, an amount of cash or U.S. Government and Agency Obligations in accordance with the initial margin requirements of the broker or exchange. Futures contracts are marked to market daily and an appropriate payable or receivable for the change in value (“variation margin”) is recorded by the Fund. Gains or losses are recognized, but not considered realized until
31
American Beacon FundsSM
Notes to Financial Statements
December 31, 2013
the contracts expire or are closed. Futures contracts involve, to varying degrees, risk of loss in excess of the variation margin disclosed on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities.
Other investments, including restricted securities and those financial instruments for which the above valuation procedures are inappropriate or are deemed not to reflect fair value are stated at fair value as determined in good faith by the Valuation Committee, established by the Fund’s Board.
Valuation Inputs
Various inputs may be used to determine the fair 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. | |
Level 3 - | Prices determined using other 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. |
Level 1 and Level 2 trading assets and trading liabilities, at fair value
Common stocks and financial derivative instruments, such as futures contracts that are traded on a national securities exchange, are stated at the last reported sale or settlement price on the day of valuation. To the extent these securities are actively traded and valuation adjustments are not applied, they are categorized as Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy. Securities using these valuation adjustments are categorized as Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy. Preferred securities and other equities traded on inactive markets or valued by reference to similar instruments are also categorized as Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.
Investments in registered open-end investment management companies will be valued based upon the NAVs of such investments and are categorized as Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy. Short-term investments having a maturity of 60 days or less are generally valued at amortized cost which approximates fair value. These investments are categorized as Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.
The Funds’ investments are summarized by level based on the inputs used to determine their values. U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“U.S. GAAP”) also requires all transfers between any levels to be disclosed. The end of period timing recognition has been adopted for the transfers between levels of each Fund’s assets and liabilities. During the year ended December 31, 2013, there were no transfers between levels. As of December 31, 2013, the investments were classified as described below (in thousands):

Security Transactions and Investment Income
Security transactions are recorded on the trade date of the security purchase or sale. The Funds may purchase securities with delivery or payment to occur at a later date. At the time the Funds enter into a commitment to purchase a security, the transaction is recorded, and the value of the security is reflected in the NAV. The value of the security may vary with market fluctuations.
Dividend income, net of foreign taxes, is recorded on the ex-dividend date, except certain dividends from foreign securities which are recorded as soon as the information is available to the Funds. 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.
Dividends to Shareholders
Dividends from net investment income of the Funds normally will be declared and paid at least annually. Distributions, if any, of net realized capital gains are generally paid at least annually and recorded on the ex-dividend date.
Commission Recapture
The Funds have established brokerage commission recapture arrangements with certain brokers or dealers. If the Funds’ investment advisor chooses to execute a transaction through a participating broker, the broker rebates a portion of the commission back to the Funds. Any collateral benefit received through participation in the commission recapture program is directed exclusively to the Funds. This amount is reported with the net realized gain in the Funds’ Statements of Operations.
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 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.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP 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.
33
American Beacon FundsSM
Notes to Financial Statements
December 31, 2013
Other
Under the Trust’s organizational documents, its officers and trustees 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.
4. Securities and Other Investments
American Depositary Receipts (ADRs)
ADRs are depositary receipts for foreign issuers in registered form traded in U.S. securities markets. Depositary receipts may not be denominated in the same currency as the securities into which they may be converted. Investing in depositary receipts entails substantially the same risks as direct investment in foreign securities. There is generally less publicly available information about foreign companies and there may be less governmental regulation and supervision of foreign stock exchanges, brokers and listed companies.
Real Estate Investment Trusts
The Funds may own shares of real estate investment trusts (“REITs”) which report information on the source of their distributions annually. The Funds re-characterizes distributions received from REIT investments based on information provided by the REITs into the following categories: ordinary income, long-term capital gains, and return of capital. If information is not available on a timely basis from the REITs, the re-characterization will be estimated based on available information which may include the previous year allocation. If new or additional information becomes available from the REITs at a later date, a re-characterization will be made the following year. These re-characterizations are not recorded for financial statement purposes, but as an adjustment to the calculation of taxable income.
Other Investment Company Securities and Other Exchange Traded Products
The Funds may invest in shares of other investment companies, including open-end funds, closed-end funds, business development companies, ETFs, exchange-traded notes (“ETNs”), unit investment trusts, and other investment companies of the Trust. The Funds may invest in investment company securities advised by the Manager or a sub-advisor. Investments in the securities of other investment companies may involve duplication of advisory fees and certain other expenses. By investing in another investment company, a Fund becomes a shareholder of that investment company. As a result, Fund shareholders indirectly will bear a Fund’s proportionate share of the fees and expenses paid by shareholders of the other investment company, in addition to the fees and expenses Fund shareholders directly bear in connection with the Fund’s own operations. These other fees and expenses are reflected as Acquired Fund Fees and Expenses and are included in the Fees and Expenses Table for the Fund in its Prospectus, if applicable. Investments in other investment companies may involve the payment of substantial premiums above the value of such issuer’s portfolio securities.
5. Financial Derivative Instruments
Futures Contracts
Futures contracts are contracts to buy or sell a standard quantity of securities at a specified price on a future date. The Fund may enter into financial futures contracts as a method for keeping assets readily convertible to cash if needed to meet shareholder redemptions or for other needs while maintaining exposure to the stock or bond market, as applicable. The primary risks associated with the use of futures contracts are
34
American Beacon FundsSM
Notes to Financial Statements
December 31, 2013
the possibility of illiquid markets or imperfect correlation between the values of the contracts and the underlying securities, or that the counterparty will fail to perform its obligations.
Upon entering into a futures contract, the Fund is required to set aside or deposit with a broker an amount, termed the initial margin, which typically represents a portion of the face value of the futures contract. The Fund usually reflects this amount on the Schedule of Investments as a U.S. Treasury Bill held as collateral for futures contracts or as Cash deposited with broker on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Payments to and from the broker, known as variation margin, are required to be made on a daily basis as the price of the futures contract fluctuates. Changes in initial settlement values are accounted for as unrealized appreciation (depreciation) until the contracts are terminated, at which time realized gains and losses are recognized. Futures contracts are valued at the most recent settlement price established each day by the exchange on which they are traded.
During the year ended December 31, 2013, the Funds entered into future contracts primarily for return enhancement and exposing cash to markets.
The Funds’ average futures contracts outstanding fluctuate throughout the operating year as required to meet strategic requirements. The following table illustrates the quarterly volume of futures contracts. For purpose of this disclosure, volume is measured by contracts outstanding at period end.
Average Futures Contracts Outstanding | ||||||||

(2) | The volume of derivative activity described above is reflective of the derivative activity through the current period of operations. |
6. Principal Risks
In the normal course of business the Funds trade financial instruments and enter into financial transactions where risk of potential loss exists. Security values fluctuate (market risk) and may decline due to factors affecting securities markets in general, particular industries represented in the securities markets or conditions specifically related to a particular company. Failure of the other party to a transaction to perform (credit and counterparty risk), for example by not making principal and interest payments when due, reduces the value of the issuer’s debt and could reduce the Funds’ income. Similar to credit risk, the Funds may be exposed to counterparty risk, or the risk that an institution or other entity with which the Funds have unsettled or open transactions will fail to make required payments or otherwise comply with the terms of the instrument, transaction or contract. The potential loss could exceed the value of the financial assets recorded in the financial statements. Some of the Funds’ investments may be illiquid and the Funds may not be able to
35
American Beacon FundsSM
Notes to Financial Statements
December 31, 2013
vary the portfolio investments in response to changes in economic and other conditions. If a Fund is required to liquidate all or a portion of its investments quickly, the Fund may realize significantly less than the value at which it previously recorded those investments.
Market Risks
The Funds’ investments in financial derivatives and other financial instruments expose the Funds to various risks such as, but not limited to, interest rate, foreign currency and equity risks.
Interest rate risk is the risk that fixed income securities will decline in value because of changes in interest rates. As nominal interest rates rise, the value of certain fixed income securities held by the Fund is likely to decrease. A nominal interest rate can be described as the sum of a real interest rate and an expected inflation rate. Fixed income securities with longer durations tend to be more sensitive to changes in interest rates, usually making them more volatile than securities with shorter durations. Duration is useful primarily as a measure of the sensitivity of a fixed income’s market price to interest rate (i.e. yield) movements.
The fair values of equities, such as common stocks and preferred securities or equity related investments such as futures, may decline due to general market conditions which are not specifically related to a particular company, such as real or perceived adverse economic conditions, changes in the general outlook for corporate earnings, changes in interest or currency rates or adverse investor sentiment generally. They may also decline due to factors which affect a particular industry or industries, such as labor shortages or increased production costs and competitive conditions within an industry. Equity securities and equity related investments generally have greater market price volatility than fixed income securities.
Counterparty Credit Risk
A derivative contract may suffer a mark to market loss if the value of the contract decreases due to an unfavorable change in the market rates or values of the underlying instrument. Losses can also occur if the counterparty does not perform under the contract.
With exchange traded futures, there is less counterparty credit risk to the Funds since the exchange or clearinghouse, as counterparty to such instruments, guarantees against a possible default. The clearinghouse stands between the buyer and the seller of the contract; therefore, the credit risk is limited to failure of the clearinghouse. While offset rights may exist under applicable law, a Fund does not have a contractual right of offset against a clearing broker or clearinghouse in the event of a default (including the bankruptcy or insolvency) of the clearing broker or clearinghouse. Additionally, credit risk exists in exchange traded futures with respect to initial and variation margin that is held in a clearing broker’s customer accounts. While clearing brokers are required to segregate customer margin from their own assets, in the event that a clearing broker becomes insolvent or goes into bankruptcy and at that time there is a shortfall in the aggregate amount of margin held by the clearing broker for all its clients, typically the shortfall would be allocated on a pro rata basis across all the clearing broker’s customers, potentially resulting in losses to the Funds.
Cash collateral that has been pledged to cover obligations of the Funds and cash collateral received from the counterparty, if any, is reported separately on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities as Deposits with brokers for futures contracts and Payable to brokers for futures contracts, respectively. Non-cash collateral pledged by the Funds, if any, is noted in the Schedules of Investments. Generally, the amount of collateral due from or to a party is determined at the close of business of the Funds and additional required collateral is delivered to/pledged by the Funds on the next business day. To the extent amounts due to the Funds from its counterparties are not fully collateralized, contractually or otherwise, the Funds bear the risk of loss from counterparty non-performance. The Funds attempt to mitigate counterparty risk by only entering into agreements with counterparties that it believes have the financial resources to honor their obligations and by monitoring the financial stability of those counterparties.

Offsetting Assets and Liabilities
The Funds are parties to enforceable master netting agreements between brokers and counterparties, such as ISDA, Master Repo Agreements and Master Forward Agreements which provide for the right to offset under certain circumstances. The Funds employ multiple money managers and counterparties and have elected not to offset qualifying financial and derivative instruments on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities, as such all financial and derivative instruments are presented on a gross basis. The impacts of netting arrangements that provide the right to offset are detailed below. The net amount represents the net receivable or payable that would be due from or to the counterparty in the event of default. Exposure from borrowings and other financing agreements such as repurchase agreements can only be netted across transactions governed by the same Master Agreement with the same legal entity. All amounts reported below represent the balance as of the report date, December 31, 2013 (in thousands).

7. Federal Income and Excise Taxes
It is the policy of the Funds to qualify as a regulated investment company (“RIC”), by complying with all applicable provisions of Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code, as amended, 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 Funds are 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, 2013 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 Statements of Operations.
Dividends are categorized in accordance with income tax regulations which may treat certain transactions differently than U.S. GAAP. Accordingly, the character of distributions and composition of net assets for tax purposes may differ from those reflected in the accompanying financial statements.
A 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 or depreciation, as applicable, as the income is earned or capital gains are recorded.
The tax character of distributions paid were as follows (in thousands):

Notes to Financial Statements
December 31, 2013
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 or (depreciation) are attributable primarily to the tax deferral of losses from wash sales and the realization for tax purposes of unrealized gains or (losses) on certain derivative instruments.
Due to inherent differences in the recognition of income, expenses and realized gains or (losses) under U.S. GAAP 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 derived from the reclassifications of income from net operating losses used to offset short-term capital gains, non-utilization of net operating losses, tax return of capital, and dividend reclasses that have been reclassed as of December 31, 2013 (in thousands):

Under the Regulated Investment Company Modernization Act of 2010 (the “RIC MOD”), net capital losses recognized by Funds in taxable years beginning after December 22, 2010 are carried forward indefinitely and retain their character as short-term and/or long-term losses. Prior to RIC MOD, net capital losses incurred by the Funds were carried forward for eight years and treated as short-term losses. RIC MOD requires that post-enactment net capital losses be used before pre-enactment net capital losses.
For the fiscal year ended December 31, 2013, the Funds did not have capital loss carryforwards.
Net capital losses (in thousands) incurred after October 31, 2013 and within the taxable year are deemed to arise on the first business day of the Fund’s next taxable year. For the year ended December 31, 2013, the Stephens Small Cap Growth Fund deferred $3,179 of short-term capital loss and $952 of long-term capital loss to January 1, 2014. The Stephens Mid-Cap Growth Fund deferred $15 of short-term capital loss to January 1, 2014.

9. Securities Lending
The Stephens Small Cap Growth Fund may lend its securities to qualified financial institutions, such as certain broker-dealers, to earn additional income. The borrowers are required to secure their loans continuously with collateral in an amount at least equal to the fair value of the securities loaned, initially in an amount at least equal to 102% of the fair value of domestic securities loaned and 105% of the fair value of international securities loaned. Collateral is monitored and marked to market daily. Daily mark to market

amounts are required to be paid to the borrower or received from the borrower by the end of the following business day. This one day settlement for mark to market amounts may result in the collateral being temporarily less than the value of the securities on loan or temporarily more than the required minimum collateral.
To the extent that a loan is collateralized by cash, such cash collateral shall be invested by the securities lending agent (the “Agent”) in money market mutual funds, and other short-term investments, as designated by the Manager.
Securities lending income is generated from the demand premium (if any) paid by the borrower to borrow a specific security and from the return on investment of cash collateral, reduced by negotiated rebate fees paid to the borrower and transaction costs. To the extent that a loan is secured by non-cash collateral, securities lending income is generated as a demand premium reduced by transaction costs. The Fund, the Agent, and the Manager retain 80%, 10%, and 10%, respectively, of the income generated from securities lending.
While securities are on loan, the Fund continues to receive certain income associated with that security and any gain or loss in the market price that may occur during the term of the loan. In the case of domestic equities, the value of any dividend is received in the form of a substitute payment approximately equal to the dividend. In the case of foreign securities, a negotiated amount is received that is less than the actual dividend, but higher than the dividend amount minus the foreign tax that the Fund would be subject to on the dividend.
Securities lending transactions pose certain risks to the Fund, including that the borrower may not provide additional collateral when required or return the securities when due, that the value of the short-term investments will be less than the amount of cash collateral required to be returned to the borrower, that non-cash collateral may be subject to legal constraints in the event of a borrower bankruptcy, and that the cash collateral investments could become illiquid and unable to be used to return collateral to the borrower. The Fund could also experience delays and costs in gaining access to the collateral. The Fund bears the risk of any deficiency in the amount of the cash collateral available for return to the borrower and any action which impairs its ability to liquidate non-cash collateral to satisfy a borrower default.
As of December 31, 2013, the value of outstanding securities on loan and the value of collateral was as follows (in thousands):
Fair Value of Securities on Loan | Non-Cash Collateral | Cash Collateral Posted by Borrower | ||
$ 67,850 | $ — | $ 69,346 |
Cash collateral is listed on the Stephens Small Cap Growth Fund’s Schedule of Investments and is shown on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities. Income earned on these investments, grossed up by the securities lending fees paid to the Manager, is included in Income derived from securities lending on the Statements of Operations.
Non-cash collateral received by the Fund may not be sold or re-pledged except to satisfy a borrower default. Therefore, non-cash collateral is not included on the Fund’s Schedule of Investments or Statements of Assets and Liabilities.

Back Cover |
Investing in the securities of small capitalization companies involves additional risks such as limited liquidity and greater volatility than larger 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. Investing in derivatives may involve certain costs and risks such as liquidity, interest rate, market, credit, management and the risk that a position could not be closed when more advantageous. Investing in derivatives could result in losing more than the amount invested. The American Beacon International Equity Index and American Beacon Small Cap Index Funds may be exposed to security lending risk through its investment in its respective Master Portfolio. Please see the prospectus for a complete discussion of these Funds’ risks. There can be no assurances that the investment objectives of these Funds will be met.

Performance Summary provided by SSgA Funds Management, Inc.
The S&P 500 Index added value in every quarter of 2013, and the only months it lost ground during the year were June and August. For 2013 as a whole, more than 90% of the names in the Index posted positive returns, and the full S&P 500 achieved its best annual result since 1997.
After lagging the vast majority of global stock markets amid the fiscal worries that preoccupied the final quarter of 2012, U.S. equity averages recovered strongly during the opening months of 2013. Share prices jumped sharply in the first trading session of the year and built on those gains thereafter, as worries about the consequences of mandated budgetary restraint gave way to optimism that the U.S. private sector would keep employment growing and consumer demand solid.
Although the second quarter of 2013 confronted investors with numerous new sources of volatility, the U.S. equity markets demonstrated an impressive resilience throughout the period. They found ready support despite weak employment and retail sales reports during April, and the Index climbed briskly into May to achieve a new set of record highs. Even after the concept of tapered Federal Reserve asset purchases arrived on May 22 to knock rate-sensitive investment plays off their lofty perches, broader U.S. averages underwent only modest consolidation before deriving fresh inspiration from solid jobs figures in early June. While reiteration by Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke of the potential for reduced asset purchases later in 2013 sent the S&P to a June 20 loss of 2.5%, its largest daily decline since late 2011, U.S. share averages remained well above their April lows. Arguably, a key source of strength in U.S. markets was disenchantment with expanded risks in other parts of the world, a phenomenon that buoyed the dollar and drove money into the presumed stability of American assets. Although the Index suffered a mild 1.3% decline for June, it still appreciated by 2.9% for the full second quarter, and its year-to-date gain now stretched to an impressive 13.8%.
Firm employment trends and conciliatory rhetoric from the Federal Reserve helped U.S. stocks push higher in July, and major averages

eventually eclipsed their May peaks with ease. Even though corporate earnings reports included some notable disappointments, consistent strength in popular biotechnology and consumer names kept investor sentiment buoyant. After the Index pushed to records once more in early August, however, the rally began to dissipate. Downbeat guidance from a number of major technology and retailing firms sparked a late August correction that gathered pace when Secretary of State John Kerry indicated that the U.S. might take military action against Syria. A softer cast to U.S. home sales was also less than helpful, and the August employment figures that arrived on the first Friday in September were weaker than expected.
During both September and the third quarter as a whole, sector performance in the Index reflected a growing preference for themes that would benefit from healthier economic growth.
Investors in U.S. stocks were under-standably nervous as the fourth quarter got underway, since equities had already produced solidly positive returns for three consecutive quarters and the history of early autumn includes many volatile episodes. Moreover, the September postponement of a widely expected announcement of tapered Federal Reserve asset purchases had dented the dollar and diverted attention towards non-U.S. markets. When the U.S. Congress could not agree on a budget and the government underwent a partial shutdown in early October, U.S. share buyers remained on the defensive. But major averages did not breach their August lows, and investors began to anticipate a reopening of full government operations and a deal to circumvent the debt ceiling. When agreement actually came in mid-October, stocks had already built up enough momentum to drive volatility lower and lift share prices further through November. Jittery action returned in early December, when oil prices embarked on a sharp rebound. Worries about holiday spending and Chinese growth prospects contributed to the mild malaise. Even though the November employment figures reported on December 6 looked healthy, investors stayed nervous when Congress arrived almost too easily at a new budget agreement. After all, without political rancor, the Federal Reserve might have more incentive to remove accommodation. Sure enough, December 18 brought the formal
announcement that tapering of debt purchases would begin in January, but the accompanying guidance on maintaining interest rates at minimal levels was received very well by equity investors. The Index proceeded to set several new closing records, ending its extraordinary 2013 essentially on the highs.
All ten of the Index sectors achieved double-digit gains in 2013, participating hand-somely in the broad equity prosperity. Leading the way were Consumer Discretionary (up 43.1%), Health Care (up 41.4%) and Industrials (up 40.7%). These sectors even outpaced the averages consistently enough to post returns for the year that exceeded 40%.
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. small cap equities, as represented by the Index, posted an impressive gain of 38.82% for the 12-month period ended December 31, 2013 as the world’s largest central banks continued their stimulus measures and corporate profits benefited from the slow but positive growth environment.
U.S. equity markets began 2013 with a powerful relief rally after the United States averted the worst of its potential fiscal crisis with a last-minute tax deal. The rally softened in February, however, as economic momentum slowed. Later in the first quarter, a stalemate presidential election in Italy and a severe banking crisis in Cyprus reminded investors that political and financial instability in Europe continued to pose risks. The ascent of equities persevered as increased global liquidity kept interest rates low and investors turned to riskier asset classes in search of yield.
As the year progressed, the direction of stock markets became increasingly dominated by speculation around the future of monetary policy. Sluggish U.S. growth, ironically, was often conducive to positive stock market performance as weak economic data reinforced investors’ expectations that the U.S. Federal Reserve (the “Fed”) would maintain its accommodative stance. Additionally, the modest pace of economic growth boded well for corporate profit margins as the U.S. recovery was strong enough to support revenues while nearly stagnant wage growth kept costs low.
After peaking in late May, stock markets recoiled when Fed Chairman Bernanke mentioned the possibility of gradually reducing (or “tapering”) monetary stimulus before the end of 2013. Volatility picked up considerably as many investors misinterpreted the Fed’s remarks as signaling the end of low short-term interest rates. However, equities staged a swift mid-summer rebound when the Fed’s tone turned more dovish. Later in the third quarter, mixed economic data drove high volatility as it made investors increasingly anxious about when and how much the Fed would scale back on its monthly asset purchase program. Also concerning was the escalation of the revolution in Egypt and the civil war in Syria, events that fueled

higher oil prices, an additional headwind for global growth.
September brought another sharp rally as the Fed defied market expectations with its decision to delay tapering its asset purchases. On the geopolitical front, the turmoil in Egypt and Syria subsided and the re-election of Angela Merkel as Chancellor of Germany was welcomed as a continuation of the status quo. The equity market advance was interrupted again in late September when the U.S. teetered on breaching the national debt ceiling and political brinksmanship led to a partial government shutdown. The rally quickly resumed in mid-October when politicians engineered a compromise to reopen the government and extend the debt ceiling until early 2014.
As economic indicators improved later in the fall, investors grappled with rising uncertainty around the timing of the anticipated Fed taper. This anxiety was ultimately relieved when the central bank announced the commencement of tapering in mid-December. Investors reacted positively to this policy move as it signaled the Fed’s perception of real improvement in U.S. growth. Sentiment was also buoyed by the extension of the Fed’s expected time horizon for maintaining low short-term interest rates.
From a sector perspective, all sectors in the Index generated positive returns. However, the consumer-driven areas were exceptionally strong performers in 2013. The Health Care sector generated stellar returns (up 51.66%), as did Consumer Staples (up 47.66%) and Consumer Discretionary (up 44.69%). Large gains also came from the Producer Durables (up 43.42%), Technology (up 41.32), Energy (up 35.05%) and Financial Services (up 31.38%) sectors. Even the more growth-sensitive Materials sector generated an impressive return (up 28.0%) in the tepid economic environment.
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.

Fund Expenses
December 31, 2013 (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 July 1, 2013 through December 31, 2013.
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 that invest in a Fund through an IRA or Roth 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.

Annualized Expense Ratio | 0.14 | % | 0.16 | % | 0.28 | % | Annualized Expense Ratio | 0.60 | % |
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 that invest in a Fund through an IRA or Roth 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.

American Beacon FundsSM
Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the Shareholders and the Board of Trustees of
American Beacon S&P 500 Index Fund, American Beacon Small Cap Index Fund and American Beacon International Equity Index Fund:
We have audited the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities of the American Beacon International Equity Index Fund, the American Beacon S&P 500 Index Fund, and the American Beacon Small Cap Index Fund (three of the funds constituting the American Beacon Funds) (collectively, the “Funds”), as of December 31, 2013, and the related statements of operations for the year then ended, the statements of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended. These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Funds’ management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and financial highlights based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and financial highlights are free of material misstatement. We were not engaged to perform an audit of the Funds’ internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of each Fund’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements and financial highlights, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of December 31, 2013, by correspondence with the custodian and brokers or by other appropriate auditing procedures where replies from brokers were not received. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the American Beacon International Equity Index Fund, the American Beacon S&P 500 Index Fund, and the American Beacon Small Cap Index Fund at December 31, 2013, the results of their operations for the year then ended, the changes in their net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

Notes to Financial Statements
December 31, 2013
1. Organization and Significant Accounting Policies
American Beacon Funds (the “Trust”) which is comprised of twenty-seven Funds, is organized as a Massachusetts business trust and is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, (the “Act”) as a diversified, 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 (closed to new investors), 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: | % of Portfolio Held by Fund at December 31, 2013 | ||||
S&P 500 Index Fund | State Street Equity 500 Index Portfolio | 36.24 | % | |||
Small Cap Index Fund | Master Small Cap Index Series | 33.23 | % | |||
International Equity Index Fund | Master International Index Series | 62.19 | % |
The financial statements of the Portfolios are included elsewhere in this report and should be read in conjunction with the Funds’ financial statements.
Class Disclosure
The S&P 500 Index Fund has two classes of shares designed to meet the needs of different groups of investors. The Small Cap Index and the International Equity Index Funds offer one class to 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 |
Each class offered by the Trust has equal rights as to assets and voting privileges. Income and non-class specific expenses are allocated daily to each class on the basis of the relative net assets. Realized and unrealized capital gains and losses of each class are allocated daily based on the relative net assets of each class of the respective Fund. Class specific expenses, where applicable, currently include administrative service fees, and service fees, and vary amongst the classes as described more fully in Note 2.
Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements
In December 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2011-11, Balance Sheet (Topic 210): Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities. The amendments in the ASU enhance disclosures about offsetting of financial assets and liabilities to enable investors to understand the effect of these arrangements on a fund’s financial position. In January 2013, FASB issued ASU No. 2013-01, Balance Sheet (Topic 210): Clarifying the Scope of Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities. The amendments in ASU No. 2013-01 clarify the scope of disclosures required by ASU No. 2011-11. These ASUs are effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2013, and interim periods
15
American Beacon FundsSM
Notes to Financial Statements
December 31, 2013
within those annual periods. The Funds adopted ASU 2011-11 and 2013-01 effective January 1, 2013. The adoption did not have any impact on the Fund’s financial statements as the accounting standard affects only the disclosure requirements for offsetting financial instruments.
2. 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 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.
Sub-administration Agreement
The Trust, the Manager and BlackRock Advisors, LLC (“BlackRock”) entered into a Sub-administration 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. Security Valuation and Fair Value Measurements
U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“U.S. GAAP”) defines fair value as the price that a Fund would receive to sell an asset or pay to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The Funds’ policy is to value its financial instruments in the Portfolios at fair value based on the Fund’s apportionate interest in the net assets of the Portfolios. Valuation of securities held by the Portfolios is discussed in the accompanying Notes to the Financial Statements of the respective Portfolios attached.
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.
16
American Beacon FundsSM
Notes to Financial Statements
December 31, 2013
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 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 (“NAV”) 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. GAAP 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 trustees 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.
4. Federal Income and Excise Taxes
It is the policy of each Fund to qualify as a regulated investment company (“RIC”), by complying with all applicable provisions of Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code, as amended, 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, 2013 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 Statements of Operations.
Dividends are categorized in accordance with income tax regulations which may treat certain transactions differently than U.S. GAAP. 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.

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 or (depreciation) are attributable primarily to the tax deferral of wash sales, the realization for tax purposes of unrealized gains (losses) on certain derivative instruments, reclassifications of income from real estate investment securities, and the realization for tax purposes on unrealized gains (losses) on investments in passive foreign investment companies.
Due to the inherent differences in the recognition of income, expenses and realized gains (losses) under the U.S. GAAP and federal income tax regulations, permanent differences between book and tax reporting have been identified and appropriately reclassified on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities.

State Street Equity 500 Index Portfolio
Notes to Financial Statements
December 31, 2013
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 ten 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 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 the State Street Equity 500 Index Portfolio (the “Portfolio”).
At December 31, 2013, the following Portfolios were operational: the Portfolio, the State Street Money Market Portfolio, the State Street Tax Free Money Market Portfolio, the State Street U.S. Government Money Market Portfolio, the State Street Treasury Money Market Portfolio and the 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 define fair value, establish a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles and expand 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 apply broadly to securities and other types of assets and liabilities. In
41
State Street Equity 500 Index Portfolio
Notes to Financial Statements — (continued)
December 31, 2013
accordance with these provisions, fair value is defined as the price that the Portfolio would receive 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 December 31, 2013, in valuing the Portfolio’s assets carried at fair value:

The type of inputs used to value each security under the provisions surrounding fair value measurements and disclosures is identified in the Portfolio of Investments, which also includes a breakdown of the Portfolio’s investments by category.
For the year ended December 31, 2013, there were no transfers between levels.
Securities transactions, investment income and expenses – Securities transactions are recorded on a trade date basis. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date. Interest income is recorded daily on the accrual basis and includes amortization of premium and 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. The effects of changes in foreign currency exchange rates on portfolio investments are included in the net realized and unrealized gains and losses on investments and foreign currency transactions on the Statement of Operations.
42
State Street Equity 500 Index Portfolio
Notes to Financial Statements — (continued)
December 31, 2013
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 on a daily basis 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, 2013, 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, 2013, tax years 2010 through 2013 remain subject to examination by the Portfolio’s major tax jurisdictions, which include the United States of America and the Commonwealth of Massachusetts.
At December 31, 2013, the tax cost of investments was $1,306,661,947 on a federal tax basis. The aggregate gross unrealized appreciation and gross unrealized depreciation was $1,442,890,581 and $13,680,860, respectively, resulting in net appreciation of $1,429,209,721 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 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.
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. 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
43
State Street Equity 500 Index Portfolio
Notes to Financial Statements — (continued)
December 31, 2013
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 December 31, 2013:

The average notional value of futures contracts outstanding during the year ended December 31, 2013 was $53,978,780.
Use of estimates – The Portfolio’s financial statements are prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, which require the use of management estimates. Actual results could differ from those estimates. It is reasonably possible that these differences could be material.
3. | Securities Transactions |
For the year ended December 31, 2013, purchases and sales of investment securities, excluding short-term investments and futures contracts, aggregated to $151,884,186 and $88,744,722, respectively.

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 December 31, 2013 is listed in the Portfolio of Investments.
5. | Trustees’ Fees |
Each Independent Trustee receives for his or her services a $100,000 retainer in addition to $5,000 for each in-person meeting and $1,250 for each telephonic meeting from the Trust. The Chairman receives an additional $30,000 annual retainer and the Audit Committee Chair receives an additional $10,000 annual retainer.
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.

State Street Equity 500 Index Portfolio
Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the Board of Trustees of State Street Master Funds and
Owners of Beneficial Interest of State Street Equity 500 Index Portfolio:
We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities, including the portfolio of investments, of State Street Equity 500 Index Portfolio (the “Portfolio”) (one of the portfolios constituting State Street Master Funds) as of December 31, 2013, and the related statement of operations for the year then ended, the statements of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended. These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Portfolio’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and financial highlights based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and financial highlights are free of material misstatement. We were not engaged to perform an audit of the Portfolio’s internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Portfolio’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements and financial highlights, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of December 31, 2013, by correspondence with the custodian and brokers. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of State Street Equity 500 Index Portfolio, one of the portfolios constituting State Street Master Funds, at December 31, 2013, the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, and its financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

Interestholder Meeting Results
Rule 30e-1 under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, requires registered management companies to report on all subject matters put to the vote of interestholders and provide final results. Accordingly, the Board of Trustees of the Trust solicited a vote by the interestholders for the following items:
Shareholders were asked to participate in a special meeting of shareholders on December 19, 2013. The meeting was subsequently adjourned and the final results will be reported in the next semi-annual report to shareholders.
Advisory Agreement Renewal
The Board of Trustees of the Trust met on November 12, 2013 (the “November Meeting” or “Meeting”) to consider the renewal of the investment advisory agreement for the Portfolio (the “Advisory Agreement”). In preparation for considering renewal of the Advisory Agreement at the November Meeting, the Independent Trustees convened a special telephonic meeting on October 10, 2013 (the “Preliminary Meeting”), at which they reviewed renewal materials provided by the Adviser, which they had requested through independent counsel, and discussed the materials with counsel and representatives of the Adviser. In the course of the Preliminary Meeting they requested additional materials from the Adviser and State Street, which were subsequently provided in advance of the November Meeting along with updates of certain of the original materials. At the November Meeting, in deciding whether to renew the Advisory Agreement, the Trustees considered various factors, including (i) the nature, extent and quality of the services provided by the Adviser under the Advisory Agreement, (ii) the investment performance of the Portfolio and the Adviser, (iii) the costs to the Adviser of its services and the profits realized by the Adviser and its affiliates from their relationship with the Trust, (iv) the extent to which economies of scale would be realized if and as the Trust grows and whether the fee levels in the Advisory Agreement reflect these economies of scale, and (v) any additional benefits to the Adviser from its relationship with the Trust.
In considering the nature, extent and quality of the services provided by the Adviser, the Trustees relied on their prior direct experience as Trustees of the Trust as well as on the materials provided in advance of the November Meeting. The Trustees reviewed the Adviser’s responsibilities under the Advisory

Agreement and noted the experience and expertise that would be appropriate to expect of an adviser to the Portfolio, which is an index fund. The Trustees reviewed the background and experience of the Adviser’s senior management, including those individuals responsible for the investment and compliance operations relating to the investments of the Portfolio, and the responsibilities of the latter with respect to the Portfolio. They also considered the resources, operational structures and practices of the Adviser in managing the Portfolio’s investments, in monitoring and securing the Portfolio’s compliance with its investment objective and investment policies and with applicable laws and regulations, and in seeking best execution of portfolio transactions. The Trustees also considered information about the Adviser’s overall investment management business, noting that the Adviser manages assets for a variety of institutional investors and that the Adviser and its affiliates had over $2.17 trillion in assets under management at August 31, 2013, including over $304 billion managed by the Adviser. They reviewed information regarding State Street’s business continuity and disaster recovery program. Drawing upon the materials provided and their general knowledge of the business of the Adviser, the Trustees noted the significant experience, resources and strength of the Adviser in the management of a variety of index products. As discussed more fully below, they also determined that the advisory fee paid by the Portfolio was fair and reasonable and that the Portfolio’s performance and expense ratio were acceptable. On the basis of this review, the Trustees determined that the nature and extent of the services provided by the Adviser to the Portfolio were appropriate and had been of good quality.
The Trustees determined, in view of the investment objective of the Portfolio and after review and discussion of the available data and of a memorandum discussing the recent performance of the Portfolio supplied by the Adviser at the Independent Trustees’ request, that the investment performance was acceptable. The Trustees noted that the performance of the Portfolio in absolute terms was not of the importance that normally attaches to that of actively-managed funds. Of more importance to the Trustees was the extent to which the Portfolio achieved its objective of replicating, before expenses, the total return of the S&P 500 Index. Drawing upon information provided at the Meeting and upon reports provided to the Trustees by the Adviser throughout the preceding year, they determined that the Portfolio had in fact tracked the index within an acceptable range of tracking error. They concluded that performance of the Portfolio was satisfactory.
The Trustees considered the profitability to the Adviser and its affiliate, State Street, of the advisory relationships with the Trust. (They noted at the outset that the issue of profitability would not arise with respect to SSGM, also an affiliate of the Adviser, because of the fact that SSGM receives no compensation from the feeder fund and, by implication, the Portfolio.) The Trustees had been provided with data regarding the profitability to the Adviser and State Street with respect to the Portfolio individually, and on an aggregate basis with the other feeder funds and master portfolios overseen by the Trustees (together, the “Funds and Portfolios”), for the year ended December 31, 2012, and for the four prior years. Having discussed with representatives of the Adviser the methodologies used in computing the costs that formed the bases of the profitability calculations, they concluded that these methodologies appeared reasonable and turned to the data provided. After discussion and analysis they concluded that, to the extent that the Adviser’s and State Street’s relationships with the Trust had been profitable to either or both of those entities during the period for which information had been provided, the profitability was in no case such as to render the advisory fee excessive, especially in light of the competitive levels of the fees paid to the Adviser and State Street by the Trust.

In order better to evaluate the Portfolio’s advisory fee, the Trustees had requested comparative information from Lipper Inc. with respect to fees paid by, and expense ratios of, similar funds not managed by the Adviser. The Trustees found that the Portfolio’s advisory fee and total expense ratio were lower than the average for its Lipper peer group; after discussion, they concluded that the data available provided confirmation of the reasonableness of the Adviser’s fee.
In addition, the Trustees considered other advisory fees paid to the Adviser and its affiliate, State Street Global Advisors (“SSgA”). They noted that, as a general matter, fees paid to the Adviser by other, similar mutual funds sponsored by State Street tended to be higher than the fees paid by the Portfolio, with some exceptions, whereas fees paid by mutual funds for which the Adviser acted as sub-adviser and by institutional accounts managed by SSgA tended to be lower than those paid by the Portfolio, again with some exceptions; in considering these fees, the Trustees reviewed and discussed a memorandum prepared by the Adviser discussing the differences between the services provided to the Portfolio by the Adviser and those provided to sub-advised funds and other types of institutional clients. The Trustees determined that, in light of these significant differences, the fees paid by sub-advised funds and other types of clients were of limited utility for purposes of comparison with those of the Portfolio, but that to the extent that meaningful comparison was practicable, the differences in services satisfactorily accounted for differences in the fees. The Trustees determined that the Adviser’s fee was fair and reasonable.
In considering whether the Adviser benefits in other ways from its relationship with the Trust, the Trustees also considered whether the Adviser’s affiliates may benefit from the Trust’s relationship with State Street as fund administrator, custodian and transfer agent and with SSGM, a wholly-owned subsidiary of State Street, as principal underwriter for the Trust. They noted, among other things, that the Adviser utilizes no soft-dollar arrangements in connection with the Portfolio’s brokerage transactions to obtain third-party (non-proprietary research) services. The Trustees concluded that, to the extent that the Adviser or its affiliates derive other benefits from their relationships with the Trust, those benefits are not so significant as to render the Adviser’s fee excessive.
The Trustees also considered the extent to which economies of scale may be realized by the Portfolio as assets grow and whether the Portfolio’s fee levels reflect such economies of scale, if any, for the benefit of investors. In considering the matter, the Trustees determined that, to the extent that economies of scale were in fact being realized, such economies of scale were shared with the Portfolio by virtue of an advisory fee of a comparatively low level that subsumed economies of scale in the fee itself. The Trustees also recognized, however, that should sustained, substantial asset growth be realized in the future, it might be appropriate to consider additional measures.
On the basis of the foregoing discussions and determinations, without any one factor being dispositive, the Trustees decided to approve the continuance of the Advisory Agreement.

For Series compliance purposes, the Series’ sector classifications refer to any one or more of the sector sub-classifications used by one or more widely recognized market indexes, and/or as defined by the investment advisor. These definitions may not apply for purposes of this report, which may combine such sector sub- classifications for reporting ease. Derivative Financial Instruments
Derivative Financial Instruments
Master International Index Series and Master Small Cap Index Series (the “Series”) may invest in various derivative financial instruments, including financial futures contracts and foreign currency exchange contracts, as specified in Note 4 of the Notes to Financial Statements, which may constitute forms of economic leverage. Such derivative financial instruments are used to obtain exposure to a security, index and/or market without owning or taking physical custody of securities or to hedge market, equity and/or foreign currency exchange rate risks. Derivative financial instruments involve risks, including the imperfect correlation between the value of a derivative financial instrument and the underlying asset, possible default of the counterparty to the transaction or illiquidity of the derivative financial instrument. The Series’
ability to use a derivative financial instrument successfully depends on the investment advisor’s ability to predict pertinent market movements accurately, which cannot be assured. The use of derivative financial instruments may result in losses greater than if they had not been used, may require the Series to sell or purchase portfolio investments at inopportune times or for distressed values, may limit the amount of appreciation the Series can realize on an investment or may cause the Series to hold an investment that it might otherwise sell. The Series’ investments in these instruments are discussed in detail in the Notes to Financial Statements.

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

Certain foreign securities are fair valued utilizing an external pricing service to reflect any significant market movements between the time the Series values such foreign securities and the earlier closing of foreign markets. Such fair valuations are categorized as Level 2 in the disclosure hierarchy. As of December 31, 2012, securities with a value of $11,767,681 were systematically fair valued due to significant market movements, but were not valued using systematic fair values as of December 31, 2013. Therefore, these securities were transferred from Level 2 to Level 1 during the year ended December 31, 2013.

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

QUANTITATIVE MASTER SERIES LLC | DECEMBER 31, 2013 | 88 |
|
Quantitative Master Series LLC |
1. Organization:
Master International Index Series (“Master International Index”) and Master Small Cap Index Series (“Master Small Cap Index”) (collectively, the “Series”, or individually, a “Series”) are a series of Quantitative Master Series LLC (the “Master LLC”), which is registered as an open-end management investment company under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), and is organized as a Delaware limited liability company. Each Series is classified as diversified. The Master LLC’s Limited Liability Company Agreement permits the Board of Directors of the Master LLC (the “Board”) to issue non-transferable interests in the Master LLC, subject to certain limitations.
2. Significant Accounting Policies:
The Series’ financial statements are prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“US GAAP”), which may require management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities in the financial statements and the reported amounts of increases and decreases in net assets from operations during the reporting period. 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 determine the fair values of their financial instruments at market value using independent dealers or pricing services under policies approved by the Board. The BlackRock Global Valuation Methodologies Committee (the “Global Valuation Committee”) is the committee formed by management to develop global pricing policies and procedures and to provide oversight of the pricing function for the Series for all financial instruments.
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. Financial futures contracts traded on exchanges are valued at their last sale price. Investments in open-end registered investment companies are valued at NAV each business day.
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 Series may withdraw up to 25% of its investment daily, although the manager of the Money Market Series, in its sole discretion, may permit an investor to withdraw more than 25% on any one day.
Securities and other assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into US dollars using exchange rates determined as of the close of business on the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”). Foreign currency exchange contracts are valued at the mean between the bid and ask prices and are determined as of the close of business on the NYSE. Interpolated values are derived when the settlement date of the contract is an interim date for which quotations are not available.
In the event that application of these methods of valuation results in a price for an investment that is deemed not to be representative of the market value of such investment, or if a price is not available, the investment will be valued by the Global Valuation Committee, or its delegate, in accordance with a policy approved by the Board as reflecting fair value (“Fair Value Assets”). When determining the price for Fair Value Assets, the Global Valuation Committee, or its delegate, seeks to determine the price that 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 Global Valuation Committee or its delegate, deem relevant consistent with the principles of fair value measurement which include the market approach, income approach and/or in the case of recent investments, the cost approach, as appropriate. The market approach generally consists of using comparable market transactions. The income approach generally is used to discount future cash flows to present value and is adjusted for liquidity as appropriate. These factors include but are not limited to: (i) attributes specific to the investment or asset; (ii) the principal market for the investment or asset; (iii) the customary participants in the principal market for the investment or asset; (iv) data assumptions by market participants for the investment or asset, if reasonably available; (v) quoted prices for similar investments or assets in active markets; and (vi) other factors, such as future cash flows, interest rates, yield curves, volatilities, prepayment speeds, loss severities, credit risks, recovery rates, liquidation amounts and/or default rates. Due to the inherent uncertainty of valuations of such investments, the fair values may differ from the values that would have been used had an active market existed. The Global Valuation Committee, or its delegate, employs various methods for calibrating valuation approaches for investments where an active market does not exist, including regular due diligence of the Series’ pricing vendors, a regular review of key inputs and assumptions, transactional back-testing or disposition analysis to compare unrealized gains and losses to realized gains and losses, reviews of missing or stale prices and large movements in market values and reviews of any market related activity. The pricing of all Fair Value Assets is subsequently reported to the Board or a committee thereof on a quarterly basis.
Generally, trading in foreign instruments is substantially completed each day at various times prior to the close of business on the NYSE. Occasionally, events affecting the values of such instruments may occur between the foreign market close and the close of business on the NYSE that may not be reflected in the computation of the Series’ net assets. If events (for example, a company announcement, market volatility or a natural disaster) occur during such periods that are expected to affect the value of such instruments materially, those instruments may be Fair Value Assets and valued at their fair value, as determined in good faith by the Global Valuation Committee, or its delegate, using a pricing service and/or policies

approved by the Board. Each business day, the Series use a pricing service to assist with the valuation of certain foreign exchange-traded equity securities and foreign exchange-traded and over-the-counter (“OTC”) options (the “Systematic Fair Value Price”). Using current market factors, the Systematic Fair Value Price is designed to value such foreign securities and foreign options at fair value as of the close of business on the NYSE, which follows the close of the local markets.
Foreign Currency: The 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 respective date of such transactions. Generally, when the US dollar rises in value against a foreign currency, the Series’ investments denominated in that currency will lose value because that currency is worth fewer US dollars; the opposite effect occurs if the US dollar falls in relative value.
The Series do not isolate the portion of the results of operations arising as a result of changes in the foreign exchange rates from the changes in the market prices of investments held or sold for financial reporting purposes. Accordingly, the effects of changes in foreign currency exchange rates on investments are not segregated in the Statements of Operations from the effects of changes in market prices of those investments but are included as a component of net realized and unrealized gain (loss) from investments. The Series report realized currency gains (losses) on foreign currency related transactions as components of net realized gain (loss) for financial reporting purposes, whereas such components may be treated as ordinary income for federal income tax purposes.
Segregation and Collateralization: In cases where a Series enters into certain investments (e.g., financial futures contracts and foreign currency exchange contracts) that would be “senior securities” for 1940 Act purposes, the Series may segregate or designate on its books and records cash or liquid securities having a market value at least equal to the amount of the Series’ future obligations under such investments. Doing so allows the investment to be excluded from treatment as a “senior security”. Furthermore, if required by an exchange or counterparty agreement, the Series may be required to deliver/deposit cash and/or securities to/with an exchange, or broker-dealer or custodian as collateral for certain investments or obligations.
Investment Transactions and Investment Income: For financial reporting purposes, investment transactions are recorded on the dates the transactions are entered into (the trade dates). Realized gains and losses on investment transactions are determined on the identified cost basis. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend 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. 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.
Income Taxes: The Series are classified as partnerships for federal income tax purposes. As such, each investor in the Series is treated as the owner of its proportionate share of net assets, income, expenses and realized
and unrealized gains and losses of the Series. Therefore, no federal income tax provision is required. It is intended that the Series’ assets will be managed so an investor in the Series can satisfy the requirements of Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended.
The Series file 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, 2013. The statutes of limitations on the Series’ state and local tax returns may remain open for an additional year depending upon the jurisdiction.
Management has analyzed tax laws and regulations and their application to the Series’ facts and circumstances and does not believe there are any uncertain tax positions that require recognition of a tax liability.
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 have an arrangement with the custodian whereby fees may be reduced by credits earned on uninvested cash balances, which, if applicable, are shown as fees paid indirectly in the Statements of Operations. The custodian imposes fees on overdrawn cash balances, which can be offset by accumulated credits earned or may result in additional custody charges.
3. Securities and Other Investments:
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. The initial collateral received by the Series should have a value of at least 102% of the current value of the loaned securities for securities traded on US exchanges and a value of at least 105% for all other securities. The collateral is maintained thereafter 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 Statements 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 or interest income on the securities loaned but does not receive 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.
The market value of securities on loan and the value of the related collateral are shown separately in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities as a component of investments at value, and collateral on securities loaned at value, respectively. The cash collateral invested by the securities lending agent, BlackRock Investment Management, LLC (“BIM”), if any, is disclosed in the Schedules of Investments.

Securities lending transactions are entered into by the Series under Master Securities Lending Agreements (“MSLA”) which provide the right, in the event of default (including bankruptcy or insolvency) for the non-defaulting party to liquidate the collateral and calculate a net exposure to the defaulting party or request additional collateral. In the event that a borrower defaults, the Series, as lender, would offset the market value of the collateral received against the market value of the securities loaned. The value of the collateral is typically greater than that of the market value of the securities loaned, leaving the lender with a net amount payable to the defaulting party. However, bankruptcy or insolvency laws of a particular jurisdiction may impose restrictions on or prohibitions against such a right of offset in the event of a MSLA counterparty’s bankruptcy or insolvency. Under the MSLA, the borrower can resell or re-pledge the loaned securities, and the Series can reinvest cash collateral, or, upon an event of default, resell or re-pledge the collateral.
The following tables are a summary of the Series’ securities lending agreements by counterparty which are subject to offset under a MSLA as of December 31, 2013:

The risks of securities lending also include the risk that the borrower may not provide additional collateral when required or may not return the securities when due. To mitigate this risk, the Series benefit from a borrower default indemnity provided by BlackRock, Inc. (“BlackRock”). BlackRock’s indemnity allows for full replacement of the securities lent. 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 year ended December 31, 2013, any securities on loan were collateralized by cash.
4. Derivative Financial Instruments:
The Series engage in various portfolio investment strategies using derivative contracts both to increase the returns of the Series and/or to economically hedge their exposure to certain risks such as equity risk or foreign currency exchange rate risk. These contracts may be transacted on an exchange or OTC.
Financial Futures Contracts: The Series purchase and/or sell 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 a counterparty to buy or sell a specific quantity of an underlying instrument at a specified price and at a specified date. Depending on the terms of the particular contract, financial futures contracts are settled either through physical delivery of the underlying instrument on the settlement date or by payment of a cash settlement amount on the settlement date.
Upon entering into a financial futures contract, the Series are required to deposit initial margin with the broker in the form of cash or securities in an amount that varies depending on a contract’s size and risk profile. The initial margin deposit must then be maintained at an established level over the life of the contract. Securities deposited as initial margin are designated on the Schedules of Investments and cash deposited, if any, is recorded on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities as cash pledged for financial futures contracts. Pursuant to the contract, the Series agree to receive from or pay to the broker an amount of cash equal to the daily fluctuation in value of the contract. Such receipts or payments are known as variation margin. Variation margin is recorded by the Series as unrealized appreciation or depreciation, and if applicable, as a receivable or payable for variation margin in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities.
When the contract is closed, the Series record a realized gain or loss equal to the difference between the value of the contract at the time it was opened and the value at the time it was closed. The use of financial futures contracts involves the risk of an imperfect correlation in the movements in the price of financial futures contracts, interest or foreign currency exchange rates and the underlying assets.
Foreign Currency Exchange Contracts: The Series enter into foreign currency exchange contracts as an economic hedge against either specific transactions or portfolio instruments or to obtain exposure to, or hedge exposure away from, foreign currencies (foreign currency exchange rate risk). A foreign currency exchange contract is an agreement between two parties to buy and sell a currency at a set exchange rate on a future date. Foreign currency exchange contracts, when used by the 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 record a realized gain or loss equal to the difference between the value at the time it was opened and the value at the time it was closed. The use of foreign currency exchange contracts involves the risk that the value of a foreign currency exchange contract changes unfavorably due to movements in the value of the referenced foreign currencies.

Counterparty Credit Risk: A derivative contract may suffer a mark to market loss if the value of the contract decreases due to an unfavorable change in the market rates or values of the underlying instrument. Losses can also occur if the counterparty does not perform under the contract.
The Series’ risk of loss from counterparty credit risk on OTC derivatives is generally limited to the aggregate unrealized gain netted against any collateral held by such Series. For OTC options purchased, the Series bear the risk of loss of the amount of the premiums paid plus the positive change in market values net of any collateral held by such Series should the counterparty fail to perform under the contracts. Options written by the Series do not typically give rise to counterparty credit risk, as options written generally obligate the Series, and not the counterparty, to perform.
With exchange-traded futures, there is less counterparty credit risk to the Series since the exchange or clearinghouse, as counterparty to such instruments, guarantees against a possible default. The clearinghouse stands between the buyer and the seller of the contract; therefore, credit risk is limited to failure of the clearinghouse. Credit risk still exists in exchange traded futures with respect to initial and variation margin that is held in a clearing broker’s customer accounts. While clearing brokers are required to segregate customer margin from their own assets, in the event that a clearing broker becomes insolvent or goes into bankruptcy and at that time there is a shortfall in the aggregate amount of margin held by the clearing broker for all its clients, typically the shortfall would be allocated on a pro rata basis across all the clearing broker’s customers, potentially resulting in losses to the Series.
In order to better define its contractual rights and to secure rights that will help the Series mitigate its counterparty risk, the Series may enter into an International Swaps and Derivatives Association, Inc. Master Agreement (“ISDA Master Agreement”) or similar agreement with its derivative contract counterparties. An ISDA Master Agreement is a bilateral agreement between the Series and a counterparty that governs certain OTC derivatives and typically contains, among other things, collateral posting terms and netting provisions in the event of a default and/or termination event. Under an ISDA Master Agreement, the Series may, under certain circumstances, offset with the counterparty certain derivative financial instruments’ payables and/or receivables with collateral held and/or posted and create one single net payment. The provisions of the ISDA Master Agreement typically permit a single net payment in the event of default including the bankruptcy or insolvency of the counterparty. However, that bankruptcy or insolvency laws of a particular jurisdiction may impose restrictions on or prohibitions against the right of offset in bankruptcy, insolvency or other events. In addition, certain ISDA Master Agreements allow counterparties to OTC derivatives to terminate derivative contracts prior to maturity in the event the Series’ net assets decline by a stated percentage or the Series fails to meet the terms of their ISDA Master Agreements, which would cause the Series to accelerate payment of any net liability owed to the counterparty.
Collateral Requirements: For derivatives traded under an ISDA Master Agreement, the collateral requirements are typically calculated by netting the mark to market amount for each transaction under such agreement and comparing that amount to the value of any collateral currently pledged by the Series and the counterparty.
Cash collateral that has been pledged to cover obligations of the Series and cash collateral received from the counterparty, if any, is reported separately on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities as cash pledged as
QUANTITATIVE MASTER SERIES LLC | DECEMBER 31, 2013 | 92 |
Notes to Financial Statements (continued) |
Quantitative Master Series LLC |
collateral and cash received as collateral, respectively. Non-cash collateral pledged by the Series, if any, is noted in the Schedules of Investments. Generally, the amount of collateral due from or to a party has to exceed a minimum transfer amount threshold (e.g. $500,000) before a transfer is required, which is determined at the close of business of the Series and additional required collateral is delivered to/pledged by the Series on the next business day. Typically, the Series and counter-parties are permitted to sell, re-pledge or use the collateral they receive. To the extent amounts due to the Series from its counterparties are not
fully collateralized, contractually or otherwise, the Series bear the risk of loss from counterparty non-performance. The Series attempts to mitigate counterparty risk by entering into agreements only with counterparties that it believes have the financial resources to honor their obligations and by monitoring the financial stability of those counterparties.
For financial reporting purposes, the Series do not offset derivative assets and derivative liabilities that are subject to netting arrangements in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities.
At December 31, 2013, the Series’ derivative assets and liabilities (by type) are as follows:

5. Investment Advisory Agreement and Other Transactions with Affiliates:
The PNC Financial Services Group, Inc. is the largest stockholder and an affiliate, for 1940 Act purposes, of BlackRock.
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 Black-Rock, to provide investment advisory and administration services. The Manager is responsible for the management of the Series’ portfolios and provides the necessary personnel, facilities, equipment and certain other services necessary to the operations of the Series. For such services, the Series pay the Manager a monthly fee at an annual rate of 0.01% of the Series’ average daily net assets.
The Manager contractually agreed to waive and/or reimburse fees or expenses in order to limit expenses, excluding interest expense, dividend expense, acquired fund fees and expenses and certain other fund expenses, which constitute extraordinary expenses not incurred in the ordinary course of the Series’ business. The expense limitation as a percentage of average daily net assets is 0.12% for Master International Index and 0.08% for Master Small Cap Index.
The Manager has agreed not to reduce or discontinue this contractual waiver or reimbursement prior to May 1, 2014 unless approved by the Board, including a majority of the Independent Directors.
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 in connection with the Series’ investment in other affiliated investment companies, if any. These amounts are included in fees waived by Manager in the Statements of Operations. For the year ended December 31, 2013, the amounts waived for Master International Index and Master Small Cap Index, were $1,880 and $30,330, respectively.
The Manager entered into a sub-advisory agreement with 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 year ended December 31, 2013, Master International Index and Master Small Cap Index, reimbursed the Manager, $6,119 and $5,021, respectively, for certain accounting services, which are included in accounting services in the Statements 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
93 | QUANTITATIVE MASTER SERIES LLC | DECEMBER 31, 2013 |
Notes to Financial Statements (continued) |
Quantitative Master Series LLC |
the Series for such loans 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, is shown in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities as securities loaned at value and collateral on securities loaned at value, respectively. The cash collateral invested by BIM, if any, is disclosed in the Schedules of Investments. Securities lending income is equal to the total of income earned from the reinvestment of cash collateral, net of rebates paid to, or fees paid by, borrowers of securities. The Series retains 65% of securities lending income and pays a fee to BIM equal to 35% of such income. The Series benefit from a borrower default indemnity provided by BlackRock. As securities lending agent, BIM bears all operational costs directly related to securities lending as well as the cost of borrower default indemnification. BIM does not receive any fees for managing the cash collateral. The share of income earned by the Series is shown as securities lending - affiliated - net in the Statements of Operations. For the year ended December 31, 2013, BIM received $6,062 and $588,039 in securities lending agent fees related to securities lending activities for Master International Index and Master Small Cap Index, respectively.
Master International Index and Master Small Cap Index recorded a payment from an affiliate to compensate for foregone securities lending revenue, which is shown as Other income - affiliated in the Statements of Operations.
Certain officers and/or directors of the Master LLC are officers and/or directors of BlackRock or its affiliates.
The Series may purchase securities from, or sell securities to, an affiliated fund provided the affiliation is solely due to having a common investment adviser, common officers, or common directors. For the year ended December 31, 2013, the purchase and sale transactions with an affiliated fund in compliance with Rule 17a-7 under the 1940 Act were as follows:
Purchases | Sales | |||||||
Master International Index | — | — | ||||||

6. Purchases and Sales:
Purchases and sales of investments, excluding short-term securities, for the year ended December 31, 2013 were as follows:
Purchases | Sales | |||||||
Master International Index | $ | 179,349,421 | $ | 71,433,871 | ||||
Master Small Cap Index | $ | 209,028,210 | $ | 152,670,827 |
7. Bank Borrowings:
The Series, along with certain other funds managed by the Manager and its affiliates (“Participating Funds”), is a party to a 364-day, $800 million credit agreement with a group of lenders, under which the Series may borrow to fund shareholder redemptions. The agreement expires in April 2014. Excluding commitments designated for a certain individual fund, other Participating Funds, including the Series, can borrow up to an aggregate commitment amount of $500 million, subject to asset
coverage and other limitations as specified in the agreement. The credit agreement has the following terms: a fee of 0.065% per annum on unused commitment amounts and interest at a rate equal to the higher of (a) the one-month LIBOR plus 0.80% per annum or (b) the Fed Funds rate plus 0.80% per annum on amounts borrowed. Participating Funds paid administration and arrangement fees, which, along with commitment fees, were allocated among such funds based upon portions of the aggregate commitment available to them and relative net assets of Partic- ipating Funds. The Series did not borrow under the credit agreement during the year ended December 31, 2013.
8. Concentration, Market and Credit Risk:
In the normal course of business, the Series invest in securities and enter into transactions where risks exist due to fluctuations in the market (market risk) or failure of the issuer of a security to meet all its obligations (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 fluctua- tions. 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 have unsettled or open transactions may fail to or be unable to perform on its commitments. The Series manage 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 counter-parties. The extent of the Series’ exposure to market, issuer and counter-party credit risks with respect to these financial assets is generally approximated by their value recorded in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities, less any collateral held by the Series.
Master International Index invests a substantial amount of its assets in issuers located in a single country or a limited number of countries. When the Series concentrates its investments in this manner, it assumes the risk that economic, political and social conditions in those countries may have a significant impact on its investment performance. Foreign issuers may not be subject to the same uniform accounting, auditing and financial reporting standards and practices as used in the United States. Foreign securities markets may also be less liquid, more volatile, and less subject to governmental supervision not typically associated with investing in US securities. Please see the Schedule of Investments for concentrations in specific countries.
Master International Index invests a significant portion of its assets in securities of issuers located in Europe or with significant exposure to European issuers or countries. The European financial markets have recently experienced volatility and adverse trends due to concerns about economic downturns in, or rising government debt levels of several Euro-pean countries. These events may spread to other countries in Europe and may affect the value and liquidity of certain of Master International Index’s investments.

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

Additional Information | Back Cover |
Investing in debt securities entails interest rate risk, which is the risk that debt securities will decrease in value with increases in market interest rates. Credit risk is the risk that the issuer of a bond will fail to make timely payment of interest or principal; and the decline in an issuer’s credit rating can cause the price of its bonds to go down. In a period of sustained deflation, the inflation-indexed securities may not pay any income and may suffer a loss. A security backed by the U.S. Treasury is guaranteed only as to the timely payment of interest and principal when held to maturity. The market prices for such securities are not guaranteed and will fluctuate. They are also subject to credit risk and interest rate risk. Please see the prospectus for a complete discussion of the Fund’s risks. There can be no assurances that the investment objectives of this Fund will be met.
Any opinions herein, including forecasts, reflect our judgment as of the end of the reporting period and are subject to change. Each advisor’s strategies and the Fund’s portfolio composition will change depending on economic and market conditions. This report is not a complete analysis of market conditions and therefore, should not be relied upon as investment advice.

American Beacon Funds | December 31, 2013 |
Dear Shareholders, | ||
When the Federal Reserve (the “Fed”) first embarked on its quantitative easing (QE) program in November of 2008, many investors expected inflation to be the natural result of pumping so much money into the economy. But inflation never took off the way some anticipated and remained at subdued levels over the next few years.
In 2009, the first full year of the QE program, the Consumer Price Index for Urban Consumers (CPI-U) was 2.7% for the year, or just slightly above the annual average for the previous decade. CPI-U is the benchmark used to determine the compensation level for Treasury Inflation-Protected Securities, or TIPS. | ||
So the immediate effects of QE on the inflation rate were modest at best. From there, CPI-U dropped to 1.5% in 2010, moved up to 3.0% in 2011, then fell back to 1.7% in 2012. All figures are well within historic norms.
With the Fed announcing the tapering of its QE program in 2013, the same people who feared runaway inflation back in 2008 might have expected inflation to drop sharply on the news. Instead CPI-U increased at a 1.5% pace for the year, marginally slower than 2012’s pace of 1.7%.
The economy is a highly complex machine, and there are many factors that weigh on the inflation rate. The past five years may have taught us something about the Fed’s role in all of that.
For the year ended December 31, 2013, the American Beacon Treasury Inflation Protected Securites Fund (Investor Class) returned -6.06%.
Thank you for your continued investment in the American Beacon Funds. For additional information about the Funds or to access your account information, please visit our website at www.americanbeaconfunds.com.

December 31, 2013 (Unaudited)
The environment for U.S. Treasury Inflation Protected Securities (TIPS) in 2013 was dominated by shifting perceptions of the path of monetary policy and the likelihood for changes to the U.S. Federal Reserve’s (the “Fed’s”) quantitative easing (QE) program. The year began in the wake of a presidential election and the avoidance of the so-called “fiscal cliff” in favor of a less significant round of fiscal tightening, commonly called sequestration. Early economic data surprised to the upside, and real yields rose in response in the early months of 2013. Rising global risks, including Italian elections and the Cyprus banking crisis in March, then caused the market to pause, as the fiscal tightening began to take hold and the early strength in the labor market moderated. Real yields drifted lower during this period, reaching their lows for the year in April.
In May, the Fed indicated that it would begin the process of winding down additional asset purchases, in what came to be known as tapering. At the time, the consensus market expectations were for continued bond buying in an environment of benign inflation pressures and high unemploy-ment. U.S. fixed-income markets reacted violently to the changed expectations, as real yields rose and yield spreads on most fixed-income sectors widened during the period.
In September, the Fed once again surprised markets by not reducing asset purchases, reportedly in response to a series of marginally disappointing employment reports in the U.S., with the ongoing fiscal headwinds of budget deadlines and debt ceilings complicating the outlook. The Fed was also responding to the tightening of financial conditions that had occurred since late April. The U.S. interest rate market then became more responsive to economic fundamentals, with yields initially falling during the fiscal impasse and subsequent government shutdown, and rising in response to improved employment statistics, again raising the prospects of a taper.
Inflation, as measured by the Consumer Price Index for Urban Consumers (CPI-U), increased at a 1.5% pace for the year, slower than 2012’s 1.7% pace, and few observers were concerned about sustainable inflationary pressures. Market-based measures of inflation expectations also declined in 2013. For example, one commonly followed measure of expectations, the break-even inflation between TIPS and nominal Treasuries of five- and 10-year maturities, fell over the course of the year.
For 2013, TIPS experienced their worst annual performance (and only second negative return) on record in response to rising real yields, benign inflation and massive outflows from the asset class. The Barclays Capital U. S. TIPS Index returned -8.61% in 2013, while the Barclays Capital 1-10 Year U.S. TIPS Index returned -5.58%. The TIPS yield curve steepened in 2013, with yields on longer dated TIPS maturities rising more significantly than shorter maturity TIPS over the period.
The Treasury Department remains committed to the TIPS program, and in 2014 auctions are anticipated at the five-, 10- and 30-year maturities, with auctions scheduled for one of these maturities each month throughout the year. At the end of 2013, the total outstanding market value of the Barclays U.S. TIPS Index was approximately $844 billion.

The Fund produced negative absolute returns for the twelve-month time period, affected by announcements related to Federal Reserve’s quantitative easing program, lowered inflation expectations, and general outflows from the TIPS asset class.

Performance Overview
December 31, 2013 (Unaudited)
From a yield curve positioning standpoint, the Fund’s relative underperformance stemmed from individual security selections within the 4-5 year maturity range and from overweighting the 8-9 year maturity range. Underweighting the 6-7 year maturity range benefited the Fund’s relative performance during the year.
From a duration perspective, a tactical short duration position implemented by one of the Fund’s investment managers during the second and third quarters added value to the Fund’s performance relative to the Index.
The Fund remains focused on investing in TIPS to provide inflation protection and income to its shareholders.

Fund Expenses
December 31, 2013 (Unaudited)
Fund Expense Example
As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) on purchase payments and redemption fees if applicable, 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 July 1, 2013 through December 31, 2013.
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 or Roth 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 or Roth 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 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.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the Shareholders and the Board of Trustees of
American Beacon Treasury Inflation Protected Securities Fund:
We have audited the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities, including the schedules of investments, of the American Beacon Treasury Inflation Protected Securities Fund (one of the funds constituting the American Beacon Funds) (the “Fund”), as of December 31, 2013, and the related statement of operations for the year then ended, the statement of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, and the financial highlights for the periods indicated therein. These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Fund’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and financial highlights based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and financial highlights are free of material misstatement. We were not engaged to perform an audit of the Fund’s internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of each Fund’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements and financial highlights, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of December 31, 2013, by correspondence with the custodian and brokers or by other appropriate auditing procedures where replies from brokers were not received. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the American Beacon Treasury Inflation Protected Securities Fund at December 31, 2013, the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for the two years in the period then ended, and the financial highlights for the periods indicated therein, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

American Beacon Treasury Inflation Protected Securities FundSM
Notes to Financial Statements
December 31, 2013
1. Organization and Significant Accounting Policies
American Beacon Funds (the “Trust”) which is comprised of twenty-seven Funds, is organized as a Massachusetts business trust and is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, (the “Act”), as a diversified, 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, which may include a front-end sales charge and a contingent deferred sales charge (“CDSC”) | |
C Class | General public and investors investing through an intermediary with applicable sales charges, which may include a CDSC |
Each class offered by the Trust has equal rights as to assets and voting privileges. Income and non-class specific expenses are allocated daily to each class on the basis of the relative net assets. Realized and unrealized capital gains and losses of each class are allocated daily based on the relative net assets of each class of the Fund. Class specific expenses, where applicable, currently include administrative service fees, service fees, and distribution fees and vary amongst the classes as described more fully in Note 2.
Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements
In December 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2011-11, Balance Sheet (Topic 210): Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities. The amendments in the ASU enhance disclosures about offsetting of financial assets and liabilities to enable investors to understand the effect of these arrangements on a fund’s financial position. In January 2013, FASB issued ASU No. 2013-01, Balance Sheet (Topic 210): Clarifying the Scope of Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities. The amendments in ASU No. 2013-01 clarify the scope of disclosures required by ASU No. 2011-11. These ASUs are effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2013 and interim periods within those annual periods. The Fund adopted ASU 2011-11 and 2013-01 effective January 1, 2013. The adoption did not have any impact on the Fund’s financial statements as the accounting standard affects only the disclosure requirements for offsetting financial instruments.
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
11

Notes to Financial Statements
December 31, 2013
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 year ended December 31, 2013 were as follows (dollars in thousands):
Management Fee Rate | Management Fee | Amount paid to Investment Sub-Advisor | Net Amount Retained by Manager | |||
0.11% | $237 | $127 | $110 |
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.
Distribution Plans
The Fund, except for the A and C Classes of the Fund, have 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 Fund does not intend to separately compensate the Manager or any other party, either directly or indirectly, for the distribution of Fund shares.
Separate Distribution Plans (the “Distribution Plans”) have been adopted pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the Act for the A and C Classes of the Fund. Under the Distribution Plans, 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 Class of the Fund. The fee will be payable without regard to whether the amount of the fee is more or less than the actual expense incurred in a particular month by the Manager for distribution assistance.
Service Plan
The Manager and the Trust entered into Service Plans that obligate 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 Plans, 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.
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. During the year ended December 31, 2013, the Fund did not utilize the credit facility.
Expense Reimbursement Plan
The Manager contractually 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. Of these amounts $18,107 was
12
American Beacon Treasury Inflation Protected Securities FundSM
Notes to Financial Statements

receivable from the Manager at December 31, 2013. During the year ended December 31, 2013, the Manager reimbursed expenses as follows:
Expense Cap and Limits | ||||||||
Class | 1/1/13 to 12/31/13 | Reimbursed Expenses | Expiration of Reimbursements | |||||
Institutional | 0.10%* | $ | 191,578 | 2016 | ||||
Y | 0.61% | 169 | 2016 | |||||
Investor | 0.69% | 15,274 | 2016 | |||||
A | 1.00% | 495 | 2016 | |||||
C | 1.78% | 58 | 2016 |
* | The Manager has agreed to reduce the Administrative Service Fee of the Institutional Class in an amount equal to 0.10% of the average daily net assets of the class. |
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 carryover of excess expenses potentially reimbursable to the Manager, but not recorded as a liability is $238,084 and $246,503 will expire in 2014 and 2015, respectively. The Fund did not record a liability for these potential reimbursements due to the current assessment that reimbursements are 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 distribution related expenses. For the year ended December 31, 2013, Foreside collected $3,185 from the sale of Class A Shares.
A CDSC of 0.50% will be deducted with respect to Class A Shares on certain purchases of $1,000,000 or more that are redeemed in whole or part within 18 months of purchase, unless waived as discussed in the Prospectus. Any applicable CDSC will be 0.50% of the lesser of the original purchase price or the value of the redemption of the Class A Shares redeemed. During the year ended December 31, 2013, there were no CDSC fees collected for Class A Shares.
A CDSC of 1.00% will be deducted with respect to Class C Shares redeemed within 12 months of purchase, unless waived as discussed in the Prospectus. Any applicable CDSC will be 1.00% of the lesser of the original purchase price or the value of the redemption of the Class C Shares redeemed. During the year ended December 31, 2013, there were no CDSC fees for the Fund.
3. Security Valuation and Fair Value Measurements
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 (“NAV”) 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.

Notes to Financial Statements
December 31, 2013
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 fair 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. Level 2 securities are fixed-income securities that are valued using observable inputs as stated above. | |
Level 3 – | Prices determined using other 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. |
Level 1 and Level 2 trading assets and trading liabilities, at fair value
Fixed income securities including corporate, U.S. government agencies, and U.S. treasury obligations, are normally valued by pricing service providers that use broker dealer quotations, reported trades or valuation estimates from their internal pricing models. The service providers’ internal models use inputs that are observable such as issuer details, interest rates, yield curves, prepayment speeds, credit risks/spreads, default rates, and quoted prices for similar assets. Securities that use similar valuation techniques and inputs as described above are categorized as Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.
Fixed income securities purchased on a delayed-delivery basis are marked to market daily until settlement at the forward settlement date are categorized as Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.
Investments in registered open-end investment management companies will be valued based upon the NAVs of such investments and are categorized as Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy. Short-term investments having a maturity of 60 days or less are generally valued at amortized cost which approximates fair value. These investments are categorized as Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.
The Fund’s investments are summarized by level based on the inputs used to determine their values. U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“U.S. GAAP”) also requires all significant transfers between any levels to be disclosed. The end of period timing recognition has been adopted for the transfer between levels of the Fund’s assets and liabilities. During the year ended December 31, 2013, there were no transfers between levels. As of December 31, 2013, the investments were classified as described below (in thousands):

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
14
American Beacon Treasury Inflation Protected Securities FundSM
Notes to Financial Statements
December 31, 2013
commitment to purchase a security, the transaction is recorded, and the value of the security is reflected in the NAV. 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.
Dividends to Shareholders
Dividends from net investment income of the Fund normally will be declared and paid at least 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. GAAP 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 trustees 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.
4. Securities and Other Investments
U.S. Treasury Inflation Protected Securities
Treasury Inflation Protected securities (“TIPs”) are inflation-indexed bonds issued by the U.S. Treasury. The principal amount is adjusted daily to the rate of inflation. Interest is accrued based on the adjusted principal amount. The adjustments to the principal due to inflation are reflected as increases or decreases to interest income in the accompanying Statement of Operations, even though principal is not received until maturity. Such adjustments may have a significant impact on the Fund’s distributions.
Other Investment Company Securities and Other Exchange Traded Products
The Fund may invest in shares of other investment companies, including open-end funds, closed-end funds, business development companies, ETFs, exchange-traded notes (“ETNs”), unit investment trusts, and other investment companies of the Trust. The Fund may invest in investment company securities advised by the Manager or a sub-advisor. Investments in the securities of other investment companies may involve duplication of advisory fees and certain other expenses. By investing in another investment company, a Fund becomes a shareholder of that investment company. As a result, Fund shareholders indirectly will bear a Fund’s
15
American Beacon Treasury Inflation Protected Securities FundSM
Notes to Financial Statements
December 31, 2013
proportionate share of the fees and expenses paid by shareholders of the other investment company, in addition to the fees and expenses Fund shareholders directly bear in connection with the Fund’s own operations. These other fees and expenses are reflected as Acquired Fund Fees and Expenses and are included in the Fees and Expenses Table for the Fund in its Prospectus, if applicable. Investments in other investment companies may involve the payment of substantial premiums above the value of such issuer’s portfolio securities.
5. Principal Risks
In the normal course of business the Funds trade financial instruments and enter into financial transactions where risk of potential loss exists. Security values fluctuate (market risk) and may decline due to factors affecting securities markets in general, particular industries represented in the securities markets or conditions specifically related to a particular company. Failure of the other party to a transaction to perform (credit and counterparty risk), for example by not making principal and interest payments when due, reduces the value of the issuer’s debt and could reduce the Funds’ income. Similar to credit risk, the Funds may be exposed to counterparty risk, or the risk that an institution or other entity with which the Funds have unsettled or open transactions will fail to make required payments or otherwise comply with the terms of the instrument, transaction or contract. The potential loss could exceed the value of the financial assets recorded in the financial statements. Some of the Funds’ investments may be illiquid and the Funds may not be able to vary the portfolio investments in response to changes in economic and other conditions. If a Fund is required to liquidate all or a portion of its investments quickly, the Fund may realize significantly less than the value at which it previously recorded those investments.
Offsetting Assets and Liabilities
The Fund is party to enforceable master netting agreements between brokers and counterparties, such as Master Repo Agreements which provide for the right to offset under certain circumstances. The Funds employ multiple counterparties and have elected not to offset qualifying financial and derivative instruments on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities, as such all financial and derivative instruments are presented on a gross basis. There was no offsetting activity on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities as of December 31, 2013.
6. Federal Income and Excise Taxes
It is the policy of the Fund to qualify as a regulated investment company (“RIC”), by complying with all applicable provisions of Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code, as amended, 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, 2013 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 expense” on the Statement of Operations.
Dividends are categorized in accordance with income tax regulations which may treat certain transactions differently than U.S. GAAP. Accordingly, the character of 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 was as follows (in thousands):

As of December 31, 2013, the components of distributable earnings or (deficits) on a tax basis were as follows (in thousands):
Cost basis of investments for federal income tax purposes | $ | 215,932 | ||

|
| |||
Distributable earnings or (deficits) | $ | (10,695 | ) | |
|
|
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 or depreciation are attributable primarily to the tax deferral of losses from wash sales.
Due to inherent differences in the recognition of income, expenses, and realized gains (losses) under U.S. GAAP 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 derived from net operating losses as of December 31, 2013 (in thousands):
Paid-in-capital | $ | (527 | ) | |
Undistributed net investment income | 528 | |||
Accumulated net realized gain (loss) | — | |||
Unrealized appreciation or (depreciation) of investments | (1 | ) |
Under the Regulated Investment Company Modernization Act of 2010 (the “RIC MOD”), net capital losses recognized by Funds in taxable years beginning after December 22, 2010 are carried forward indefinitely and retain their character as short-term and/or long-term losses. Prior to RIC MOD, net capital losses incurred by the Funds were carried forward for eight years and treated as short-term losses. RIC MOD requires that post-enactment net capital losses be used before pre-enactment net capital losses.
