LETTER FROMTHE PRESIDENTANDTHE INVESTMENTADVISOR
Dear Shareholders:
We are pleased to present this annual report for the BB&T Equity Index Fund, covering the 12-month period ended December 31, 2006. Stocks generated strong gains during the year, powering the S&P 500® Index1 to a 15.78% return.
Stocks rallied early in the year, but declined in the spring as investors worried that economic growth might slow considerably. The market then rallied during the second half of 2006. Investors were heartened by the Federal Reserve Board’s decision to leave its target short-term interest rate unchanged following a two-year tightening cycle as inflation pressures began to subside. They also cheered a decline in oil prices from historic highs, as well as powerful corporate earnings growth.
All economic sectors represented in the S&P 500® posted positive returns in that environment. Telecommunications service stocks led the markets with a 36.84% average gain, as investors, encouraged by strong earnings and consolidation in the sector, bid up telecommunications shares. The energy, utilities, financials, materials and consumer discretionary sectors also outperformed the broad-market average. Health care stocks, which produced a return of 7.53%, and information technology shares (8.52%) were the market’s weakest performers, while the industrials and consumer staples sectors also trailed the total return of the index.
Thank you for selecting the BB&T Equity Index Fund. We look forward to serving your investment needs during the months and years ahead.

Sincerely, |
|

BB&T EQUITY INDEX FUND
MASTER PORTFOLIO MANAGER
Barclays Global Fund Advisors, a subsidiary of Barclays Global Investors,
N.A. (S&P 500® Index Master Portfolio)
BB&T Asset Management, Inc. (BB&T Equity Index Fund)
Unlike many traditional, actively managed investment funds, there is no single portfolio manager who makes investment decisions for the BB&T Equity Index Fund. Instead, the Fund invests substantially all of its assets in the S&P 500® Index Master Portfolio which is managed by a team of investment professionals from Barclays, who use a specially designed software program to maintain a close match to the characteristics of the S&P 500® Index.
INVESTMENT CONCERNS
Equity securities (stocks) are more volatile and carry more risk than other forms of investments, including investments in high-grade fixed income securities. The net asset value per share of this Fund will fluctuate as the value of the securities in the portfolio changes. Common stocks, and funds investing in common stocks, generally provide greater return potential when compared with other types of investments.
The performance of the Fund is expected to be lower than that of the S&P 500® Index because of Fund fees and expenses.
PORTFOLIO MANAGERS’ PERSPECTIVE
“Investing in an index fund such as ours is based on the belief that it’s very difficult to ‘beat the market’ on a consistent basis. Our approach, then, is to take advantage of the stock market’s long-term growth potential, while managing costs, to help shareholders potentially build wealth over time. We believe the Fund is an excellent diversification tool for novice and experienced investors alike, and can serve as the foundation of most equity investors’ asset allocation strategies.”
The BB&T Equity Index Fund (the “Fund”) seeks to provide investment results that correspond as closely as practicable, before fees and expenses, to the total return of the broad range of stocks represented in the S&P 500® Index (the “Index”). The Fund employs a two-tier structure, commonly referred to as “master-feeder.” The Fund invests all of its investable assets in the S&P 500® Index Master portfolio (“the Master Portfolio”). For simplicity’s sake, all discussion of the Fund’s investment objective, strategies, risks and holdings refer also to the Master Portfolio’s objectives, strategies, risks, and holdings unless otherwise indicated.
For the 12 months ended December 31, 2006, the Fund returned 15.15% (Class A Shares without sales charge)2 and the Index returned 15.78%. As the Fund seeks to duplicate the returns of the S&P 500® Index, slight underperformance is expected, due primarily to Fund management fees.
The Federal Reserve Board left its target short-term interest rate unchanged during the second half of 2006. That pause followed a two-year campaign of rate increases that pushed the Federal Funds rate from 1.00% to 5.25%. Oil prices rose during the first six months of the year, continuing a multi-year trend, but sank sharply during the final six months of the year. In all, oil prices ended 2006 approximately where they began it.
Meanwhile, corporations produced another year of strong profit growth. The average earnings of the companies that comprise the Index rose roughly 70% between 2000 and 2006. The financials sector made the largest contribution of any economic sector to the Fund’s returns, followed by the energy, consumer discretionary, industrials and consumer staples sectors. Materials stocks were the weakest-performing group on the year.
Among the Fund’s ten largest holdings as of December 31, 2006, performance was mixed for the reporting period. The strongest performer for the reporting period was Altria Group Inc. Exxon Mobil Corp. also performed well, due largely to the rise in oil prices during the reporting period. Procter & Gamble Co. and insurer American International Group Inc. delivered modest gains. The share prices of pharmaceutical giant Pfizer Inc. and healthcare company Johnson & Johnson both declined for the reporting period. General Electric Co., the Fund’s largest holding as of year-end, also declined for the reporting period.†

1 | The Fund is measured against the S&P 500® Index, an unmanaged index which is generally considered to be representative of the performance of the stock market as a whole. Performance data for the S&P 500® Index does not reflect the deduction of expenses associated with a mutual fund, such as investment management and fund accounting fees. The Fund’s performance reflects the deduction of fees for these services. Investors cannot invest directly in an index, although they can invest in its underlying securities. |
2 | The performance of the BB&T Equity Index Fund prior to its commencement date on 9/11/00 is based on the historical performance of the “master portfolio,” which commenced operations on 7/2/93. The performance shown reflects the reinvestment of all dividend and capital gains distributions but does not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would have paid on Fund distributions or redemptions. The performance has been adjusted to reflect the deduction of fees for services associated with the Fund, such as investment management and fund accounting fees. |
3 | Performance for Class C Shares prior to their inception date on 5/1/01 is based on the historical performance of Class B Shares and has been adjusted for the maximum CDSC applicable to Class C Shares. |
A portion of the Fund’s fees have been reduced. If the fees had not been reduced, the Fund’s total return would have been lower.

Portfolio Holdings Summary
(Unaudited)

Investment Type | | % of Investment | |
S&P 500 Index Master Portfolio | | 100.00 | % |
| | | |
Total | | 100.00 | % |
| | | |
For a summary of the S&P 500 Index Master Portfolio holdings, please see the accompanying financial statements of the Master Portfolio.
Expense Examples (Unaudited)
As a shareholder of the BB&T Equity Index Fund (the “Fund”), you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) on purchases and sales and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees and other Fund expenses.
These examples are intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.
These 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, 2006 through December 31, 2006.
Actual Example
The table below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information below, 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 table under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | | | Beginning Account Value 7/1/06 | | Ending Account Value 12/31/06 | | Expenses Paid During Period* 7/1/06 - 12/31/06 | | Annualized Expense Ratio During Period 7/1/06 - 12/31/06 | |
BB&T Equity Index Fund | | Class A | | $ | 1,000.00 | | $ | 1,124.90 | | $ | 3.16 | | 0.59 | % |
| | Class B | | | 1,000.00 | | | 1,120.80 | | | 7.16 | | 1.34 | % |
| | Class C | | | 1,000.00 | | | 1,118.90 | | | 7.16 | | 1.34 | % |
* | Expenses are equal to the average account value times the Fund’s annualized ratio multiplied by the number of days in the most recent fiscal half-year divided by the number of days in the fiscal year (to reflect the one-half year period). |
Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes
The table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based the Fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund’s actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of other funds.
Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs, such as sales charges (loads) on purchases. Therefore, the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | | | Beginning Account Value 7/1/06 | | Ending Account Value 12/31/06 | | Expenses Paid During Period* 7/1/06 - 12/31/06 | | Annualized Expense Ratio During Period 7/1/06 - 12/31/06 | |
BB&T Equity Index Fund | | Class A | | $ | 1,000.00 | | $ | 1,022.23 | | $ | 3.01 | | 0.59 | % |
| | Class B | | | 1,000.00 | | | 1,018.45 | | | 6.82 | | 1.34 | % |
| | Class C | | | 1,000.00 | | | 1,018.45 | | | 6.82 | | 1.34 | % |
* | Expenses are equal to the average account value times the Fund’s annualized ratio multiplied by the number of days in the most recent fiscal half-year divided by the number of days in the fiscal year (to reflect the one-half year period). |

BB&T FUNDS
Equity Index Fund
Notes to the Financial Statements
December 31, 2006
The BB&T Equity Index Fund (the “Fund”) commenced operations on September 11, 2000 and is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), as a diversified open-end investment company. The Fund is a separate series of the BB&T Funds (“Trust”), a Massachusetts business trust organized in 1992. The Fund invests substantially all of its investable assets in the S&P 500 Index Master Portfolio (the “Master Portfolio”) of the Master Investment Portfolio (“MIP”), a diversified open-end management investment company registered under the of 1940 Act, rather than in a portfolio of securities. The Master Portfolio has substantially the same investment objective as the Fund. Barclays Global Fund Advisors serves as investment advisor for the Master Portfolio. The financial statements of the Master Portfolio, including the schedule of investments in securities, are contained elsewhere in this report and should be read in conjunction with the Fund’s financial statements. The value of the Fund’s investment in the Master Portfolio reflects the Fund’s interest of 4.49% in the net assets of the Master Portfolio at December 31, 2006.
The Fund is authorized to issue an unlimited number of shares without par value. The Fund offers three classes of shares: Class A Shares, Class B Shares and Class C Shares. Class A Shares of the Fund has a maximum sales charge of 5.75% as a percentage of original purchase price. Certain purchases of Class A Shares will not be subject to a front-end sales charge, but will be subject to a contingent deferred sales charge (“CDSC”) of 1.00% of the purchase price if redeemed less than one year after purchase. The Class B Shares of the Funds are offered without any front-end sales charge but will be subject to a CDSC ranging from a maximum of 5.00% if redeemed less than one year after purchase to 0.00% if redeemed more than six years after purchase. The Class C Shares of the Funds are offered without any front-end sales charge but will be subject to a maximum CDSC of 1.00% if redeemed less than one year after purchase.
Each class of shares has identical rights and privileges except with respect to the fees paid under the distribution plan, voting rights on matters affecting a single class of shares and the exchange privilege of each class of shares.
Under the Fund’s organizational documents, its Officers and Trustees are indemnified against certain liabilities arising out of the performance of their duties to the Fund. In addition, in the normal course of business, the Fund may enter into contracts with their vendors and others that provide for general indemnifications. The Fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Fund. However, based on experience, the Fund expects that risk of loss to be remote.
2. | Significant Accounting Policies: |
The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by the Fund in the preparation of its financial statements. The policies are in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). The preparation of financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of income and expenses for the period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
| (A) | New Accounting Standards—In September 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Statement on Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements.” This standard establishes a single authoritative definition of fair value, sets out a framework for measuring fair value and requires additional disclosures about fair value measurements. SFAS No. 157 applies to fair value measurements already required or permitted by existing standards. SFAS No. 157 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007 and interim periods within those fiscal years. The changes to current generally accepted accounting principles from the application of this Statement relate to the definition of fair value, the methods used to measure fair value, and the expanded disclosures about fair value measurements. As of December 31, 2006, the Fund does not believe the adoption of SFAS No. 157 will impact the financial statement amounts, however, additional disclosures may be required about the inputs used to develop the measurements and the effect of certain of the measurements on changes in net assets for the period. |

December 31, 2006
In July 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) released FASB Interpretation No. 48 “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes” (FIN 48). FIN 48 provides guidance for how uncertain tax positions should be recognized, measured, presented and disclosed in the financial statements. FIN 48 requires the evaluation of tax positions taken or expected to be taken in the course of preparing the Fund’s tax return to determine whether the tax positions are “more-likely-than-not” of being sustained by the applicable tax authority. Tax positions not deemed to meet the more-likely-than-not threshold would be recorded as a tax benefit or expense in the current year. Adoption of FIN 48 is required no later than the last business day of the first financial statement reporting period for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006 and is to be applied to all open tax years as of the effective date. Management has not completed their analysis on whether the adoption of FIN 48 will have an impact to the financial statements upon adoption.
| (B) | Security Valuation—The Fund records its investments in the Master Portfolio at fair value. Valuation of securities held by the Master Portfolio is discussed in Note 1 of the Master Portfolio’s Notes to Financial Statements, which are included elsewhere in this report. |
| (C) | Distributions to Shareholders—Dividends from net investment income are declared and paid quarterly by the Fund. Distributable net realized capital gains, if any, are declared and distributed at least annually. The amount of dividends from net investment income and distributions from net realized gains are determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP. These “book/tax” differences are either considered temporary or permanent in nature. To the extent these differences are permanent in nature (e.g. reclass of market discounts, net operating loss, gain/loss, paydowns, and distributions), such amounts are reclassified within the composition of net assets based on their federal tax-basis treatment; temporary differences (e.g., wash sales) do not require reclassification. Dividends to shareholders which exceed net investment income and net realized gains for tax purposes are reported as distributions of capital. |
| (D) | Allocation Methodology—The investment income, expenses (other than class specific expenses) and realized and unrealized gains and losses on investments are allocated to each class of shares based on their relative net assets on the date the income is earned, expenses are accrued, or realized and unrealized gains and losses are incurred. |
| (E) | Expenses—Expenses directly attributable to a class of shares are charged directly to that class. Expenses directly attributable to the Fund are charged to that Fund. Expenses not directly attributable to the Fund are allocated proportionately among all BB&T Funds in relation to the net assets of each Fund or on another reasonable basis. Expenses which are attributable to both the BB&T Funds and BB&T Variable Insurance Fund Trusts are allocated across the BB&T Funds and BB&T Variable Insurance Fund Trusts, based upon relative net assets or on another reasonable basis. BB&T Asset Management, Inc. (“BB&T”) serves as the Investment Advisor for the BB&T Variable Insurance Funds and BB&T Funds Trusts. |
| (F) | Securities Transactions and Income Recognition—The Fund records daily, its proportionate interest in the net investment income and realized/unrealized capital gains and losses of the Master Portfolio. The performance of the Fund is directly affected by the performance of the Master Portfolio. |
| (G) | Redemption Fees—Prior to July 24, 2006, for shares of the Fund that are redeemed or exchanged in less than 7 days, a fee of 2% of the total redemption amounts may be assessed subject to certain exceptions or limitations. These exceptions include, but are not limited to, automatic non-discretionary rebalancing programs and systematic withdrawal plans. The fee is applied to shares redeemed or exchanged in the order in which they were purchased, and is retained by the Fund for the benefit of remaining shareholders to defray Fund portfolio transaction expenses and facilitate portfolio management. For financial statement purposes, these amounts are included in the Statements of Changes in Net Assets as “Proceeds from Shares Issued”. Redemption fees during the period January 1, 2006 through December 31, 2006 were $5. Effective July 24, 2006 redemption fees are no longer applicable to share transactions. |
| (H) | Federal Income Taxes—It is the policy of the Fund to continue to qualify as a regulated investment company by complying with the provisions available to certain investment companies, as defined in applicable sections of the Internal |

3. | Related Party Transactions: |
Under its Investment Advisory Agreement with respect to the Fund, BB&T Asset Management, Inc. (“BB&T” or “Adviser”) exercises general oversight over the investment performance of the Fund. BB&T will advise the Board of Trustees if investment of all of the Fund’s assets in shares of the Master Portfolio is no longer an appropriate means of achieving the Fund’s investment objective. For periods in which all the Fund’s assets are not invested in the Master Portfolio, BB&T may receive an investment advisory fee from the Fund. For the year ended December 31, 2006, all of the Fund’s investable assets were invested in the Master Portfolio and BB&T received no fees.
BB&T serves the Fund as administrator. BB&T receives compensation for providing administration services at a rate of 0.12% of the BB&T Funds and BB&T Variable Insurance Funds aggregate average daily net assets up to $5 billion and a rate of 0.08% of the aggregate average daily net assets in excess of $5 billion. This fee is accrued daily and payable on a monthly basis. Expenses incurred are reflected on the Statement of Operations as “Administration fees”. BB&T voluntarily waived administration fees of $12,164 for the year ended December 31, 2006. Administration fee waivers are included on the Statement of Operations as “Less expenses waived for the Administrator,” and these waivers are not subject to recoupment in subsequent fiscal periods. Pursuant to a Sub-Administration Agreement with BB&T, BISYS Fund Services Ohio, Inc. (“BISYS Ohio”) serves as sub-administrator to the Trust subject to the general supervision of the Trusts’ Board of Trustees and BB&T. For these services, BISYS Ohio is entitled to a fee, payable by BB&T. BISYS Ohio is a subsidiary of The BISYS Group, Inc.
BISYS Ohio serves the Fund as transfer agent and receives compensation for providing transfer agency services at a rate of 0.01% of the average daily net assets of the Fund. Expenses incurred are reflected on the Statement of Operations as “Transfer agency fees”.
Under a Compliance Services Agreement between the Trust and BISYS Ohio (the “CCO Agreement”), BISYS Ohio makes an employee available to serve as the Trust’s Chief Compliance Officer (the “CCO”). Under the CCO Agreement, BISYS Ohio also provides infrastructure and support in implementing the written policies and procedures comprising the Fund’s compliance program, including support services to the CCO. For the services provided under the CCO Agreement, the Trust paid BISYS Ohio $100,000 for the year ended December 31, 2006, plus certain out of pocket expenses. Expenses incurred for the Fund are reflected on the Statement of Operations as “Compliance service fees”. BISYS Ohio pays the salary and other compensation earned by any such individuals as employees of BISYS Ohio.
BB&T Funds Distributor, Inc. (“BBTFDI”) serves as distributor to the Fund pursuant to a Distribution Agreement (the “Distribution Agreement”). BBTFDI has contractually agreed to waive a portion of the Class A shares distribution fees throughout the year. Effective May 1, 2006 and through April 30, 2007, BBTFDI has contractually agreed to waive 0.25% of the Class A Shares distribution fees of the Fund. BBTFDI waived fees totaling $328,916 of distribution fees for the year ended December 31, 2006. Distribution fee waivers are included in the Statement of Operations as “Less expenses waived by the Distributor”, and these waivers are not subject to recoupment in subsequent fiscal periods.
The Fund has adopted a Distribution and Shareholder Services Plan (the “Plan”) in accordance with Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act. The Plan provides for payments to the distributor of up to 0.50%, 1.00% and 1.00% of the average daily net assets of the Fund for Class A Shares, Class B Shares and Class C Shares, respectively. The fees may be used by BBTFDI to pay banks, broker dealers and other institutions, including affiliates of the advisor. As distributor, BBTFDI, is entitled to receive commissions on sales of shares of the Fund. For the year ended December 31, 2006, BBTFDI received $18,459 from commissions earned on sold shares of the fund. Commissions paid to affiliated broker-dealers during the year ended December 31, 2006 were $13,602.
The Adviser and/or its affiliates may pay out of their own assets compensation to broker-dealers and other persons for the sale and distribution of the shares and/or for the servicing of the shares. These are additional payments over and above the sales charge (including Rule 12b-1 fees) and service fees paid by the Fund. The payments, which may be different for different financial institutions, will not change the price an investor will pay for shares or the amount that a Fund will receive for the sale of the shares.

Certain Officers and Trustees of the Trust are affiliated with the Adviser, the administrator, or the sub-administrator. Such Officers and Trustees receive no compensation from the Trust for serving in their respective roles. Each of the five non-interested Trustees who serve on both the Board and the Audit Committee are compensated $6,000 per quarter and $2,400 for each regularly scheduled meeting, plus reimbursement for certain expenses. During the period ended December 31, 2006, actual Trustee compensation was $191,123 in total from the Trust, of which $5,072 was allocated to the Fund.
At December 31, 2006, the Fund has net capital loss carryforwards available to offset future net capital gains, if any, to the extent provided by the Treasury regulations. To the extent that these carryforwards are used to offset future capital gains, it is probable that the gains that are offset will not be distributed to shareholders.

5. | Legal and Regulatory Matters: |
On September 26, 2006 BISYS Fund Services, Inc. (“BISYS”), an affiliate of BISYS Fund Services Ohio, Inc. which provides various services to the Fund as described in footnote 3, announced a settlement with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) regarding the SEC’s investigation related to BISYS’ past payment of certain marketing and other expenses with respect to certain of its mutual fund clients. Although BISYS has reached a settlement with the SEC, the Fund’s management is not aware that any determination has been made as to how the BISYS settlement monies will be distributed. The SEC’s examination of BISYS’ mutual fund clients and their advisers has not been completed. Accordingly, the Fund’s management is currently unable to determine the impact, if any, of such matters on the Fund or the Fund’s financial statements.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
The Shareholders and Board of Trustees of
BB&T Funds:
We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities of the BB&T Equity Index Fund (the “Fund”), a series of BB&T Funds, as of December 31, 2006, and the related statement of operations for the year then ended, the statements of changes in net assets for each year in the two-year period then ended and the financial highlights for each year in the five-year period then ended. 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. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of the Fund’s investment at December 31, 2006 by correspondence with the master portfolio’s fund accounting agent. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. 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 the Fund as of December 31, 2006, the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for each year in the two-year period then ended, and the financial highlights for each year in the five-year period then ended, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

The Board of Trustees, at a meeting held on August 29, 2006, formally considered the Trust’s investment advisory agreement (the “Advisory Agreement”) with BB&T Asset Management, Inc. (“BB&TAM” or the “Adviser”) with respect to the Equity Index Fund of the Trust (the “Fund”).
The Trustees reviewed extensive material in connection with their review of the Advisory Agreement, including data from an independent provider of mutual fund data (as assembled by the Fund’s sub-administrator) which included comparisons with industry averages for comparable funds for advisory fees and total fund expenses. The data reflected BB&TAM fee waivers in place, as well as BB&TAM’s contractual investment advisory fee levels. The Board was assisted in its review by independent legal counsel, who provided a memorandum detailing the legal standards for review of the Advisory Agreement. The Board received a detailed presentation by BB&TAM, which included a performance analysis. The Board also received profitability information from the Adviser. The Board also deliberated outside the presence of management and the Advisers.
In their deliberations, each Trustee attributed different weights to various factors involved in an analysis of whether the Advisory Agreement should be continued, and no factor alone was considered determinative. The Trustees determined that the overall arrangements between the Trust and the Adviser, as provided in the Advisory Agreement, were fair and reasonable and that the continuance of the Advisory Agreement was in the best interests of the Fund and its shareholders.
The matters addressed below were considered and discussed by the Trustees in reaching their conclusions.
Nature, Extent and Quality of Services Provided by the Adviser
The Trustees received and considered information regarding the nature, extent, and quality of the services provided to the Fund under the Advisory Agreement. The Trustees took into account information furnished throughout the year at Trustee meetings, as well as materials furnished specifically in connection with the annual review process. The Trustees considered the background and experience of the Adviser’s senior management and the expertise of investment personnel responsible for the day-to-day oversight of the Fund. The Trustees considered the overall reputation, and the capabilities and commitment of the Adviser to provide high-quality service to the Trust, and the Trustees’ overall confidence in the Adviser’s integrity.
The Trustees received information concerning the investment philosophy and investment processes applied by the Adviser in managing the Fund. The Trustees also considered information regarding regulatory compliance and compliance with the investment policies of the Fund. The Trustees also evaluated the procedures of the Adviser designed to fulfill the Adviser’s fiduciary duty to the Fund with respect to possible conflicts of interest, including the Adviser’s code of ethics (regulating the personal trading of its officers and employees).
Based on their review, the Trustees concluded that, with respect to the quality and nature of services to be provided by the Adviser, the scope of responsibilities was consistent with mutual fund industry norms, and that the quality of the services was wholly acceptable.
Investment Performance
The Trustees considered performance results of the Fund relative to both its benchmark index and its peer group. It was noted that the Fund had achieved its investment goal of closely tracking the performance of the S&P 500 Index.
After reviewing the Fund’s performance, and taking into consideration the management style, investment strategies, and prevailing market conditions during the prior year and for longer periods, the Trustees concluded that the performance of the Fund was generally strong.
Cost of Services, Including the Profits Realized by the Advisers and Affiliates
The Trustees considered peer group comparable information with respect to the advisory fees charged by BB&TAM, taking into consideration both contractual and actual (i.e., after waiver) fee levels. The Trustees particularly noted that the Adviser was not currently charging an advisory fee since Fund assets were invested entirely in an underlying portfolio. The Trustees concluded that the investment advisory fee was acceptable as compared to peer groups.
As part of their review, the Trustees considered benefits to the Adviser aside from investment advisory fees. The Trustees reviewed administration fees received by BB&TAM and considered the fallout benefits to BB&TAM.

Board Consideration of Advisory and Sub-Advisory Agreements, Continued
(Unaudited)
Consideration of the reasonableness of advisory fees also took into account, where relevant, the profitability of the Adviser. The Trustees reviewed profitability information provided by the Adviser with respect to investment advisory services. With respect to such information, the Trustees recognized that such profitability data was generally unaudited and represented an Adviser’s own determination of its and its affiliates’ revenues from the contractual services provided to the Fund, less expenses of providing such services. Expenses include direct and indirect costs and were calculated using an allocation methodology developed by the Adviser. The Trustees also recognized that it is difficult to make comparisons of profitability from fund investment advisory and sub-advisory contracts, because comparative information is not generally publicly available and is affected by numerous factors. Based on their review, the Trustees concluded that the profitability to BB&TAM and its affiliates as a result of their relationships with the Fund was acceptable. The Board also concluded that the fees under the Advisory Agreement were fair and reasonable, in light of the services and benefits provided to the Fund.
Economies of Scale
The Trustees also considered whether fee levels reflect economies of scale and whether economies of scale would be produced by the growth of the Fund’s assets. Given that no investment advisory fee was currently being charged by BB&TAM, the Trustees determined that the growth of the Fund would not result in greater economies of scale.

S&P 500 Index Master Portfolio
Notes to the Financial Statements
December 31, 2006
Master Investment Portfolio (“MIP”) is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), as an open-end series management investment company organized as a Delaware statutory trust. As of December 31, 2006, MIP offered the following separate portfolios: Active Stock, Bond Index, CoreAlpha Bond, Government Money Market, LifePath Retirement, LifePath 2010, LifePath 2020, LifePath 2030, LifePath 2040, Money Market, Prime Money Market, S&P 500 Index and Treasury Money Market Master Portfolios.
These financial statements relate only to the S&P 500 Index Master Portfolio (the “Master Portfolio”).
Under MIP’s organizational documents, the Master Portfolio’s officers and trustees are indemnified against certain liabilities that may arise out of the performance of their duties to the Master Portfolio. Additionally, in the normal course of business, the Master Portfolio enters into contracts with service providers that contain general indemnification clauses. The Master Portfolio’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Master Portfolio that have not yet occurred.
1. | Significant Accounting Policies |
The following significant accounting policies are consistently followed by MIP in the preparation of its financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) for investment companies. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make certain estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Security Valuation
The securities and other assets of the Master Portfolio are generally valued using market valuations. A market valuation generally means a valuation (i) obtained from an exchange, a pricing service or a major market maker (or dealer), (ii) based on a price quotation or other equivalent indication of value supplied by an exchange, a pricing service or a major market maker (or dealer) or (iii) based on amortized cost. In the case of shares of funds that are not traded on an exchange, a market valuation means such fund’s published net asset value per share. The investment adviser may use various pricing services or discontinue the use of any pricing service. A price obtained from a pricing service based on such pricing service’s valuation matrix may be considered a market valuation. In the event that current market valuations are not readily available or such valuations do not reflect current market values, the affected investments will be valued using fair value pricing pursuant to the pricing policy and procedures approved by the Board of Trustees of MIP (the “Board”).
Security Transactions and Income Recognition
Security transactions are accounted for on trade date. Dividend income is recognized on the ex-dividend date, net of any foreign tax withheld at source, and interest income is accrued daily. Distributions received by the Master Portfolio may include a return of capital that is estimated by management. Such amounts are recorded as a reduction of the cost of investments or reclassified to capital gains. Realized gains and losses on investment transactions are determined using the specific identification method. The Master Portfolio amortizes premiums and accretes discounts on debt securities purchased, using a constant yield to maturity method.
Federal Income Taxes
In general, MIP believes that the Master Portfolio has and will continue to be operated in a manner so as to qualify it as a non-publicly traded partnership for federal income tax purposes. Provided that the Master Portfolio so qualifies, it will not be subject to any federal income tax on its income and gains (if any). However, each interestholder in the Master Portfolio will be taxed on its distributive share of the Master Portfolio’s taxable income in determining its federal income tax liability. As a non-publicly traded partnership for federal income tax purposes, the Master Portfolio will be deemed to have “passed through” to its interestholders any interest, dividends, gains or losses of the Master Portfolio for such purposes. The determination of such share will be made in accordance with the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), and regulations promulgated thereunder.

S&P 500 Index Master Portfolio
Notes to the Financial Statements, Continued
December 31, 2006
It is intended that the Master Portfolio’s assets, income and distributions will be managed in such a way that an entity electing and qualifying as a “regulated investment company” under the Code can continue to so qualify by investing substantially all of its assets through the Master Portfolio, provided that the regulated investment company meets other requirements for such qualifications not within the control of the Master Portfolio (e.g., distributing at least 90% of the regulated investment company’s “investment company taxable income” annually).
As of December 31, 2006, the cost of investments for federal income tax purposes for the Master Portfolio was $2,634,080,316. Net unrealized appreciation aggregated $363,732,721, of which $642,092,425 represented gross unrealized appreciation on securities and $278,359,704 represented gross unrealized depreciation on securities.
Futures Contracts
The Master Portfolio may purchase futures contracts to gain exposure to market changes, as this may be more efficient or cost effective than actually buying the securities. A futures contract is an agreement between two parties to buy and sell a security at a set price on a future date and is exchange-traded. Upon entering into a futures contract, the Master Portfolio is required to pledge to the broker and hold in a segregated account, an amount of cash, U.S. Government securities or other high-quality debt and equity securities equal to the minimum “initial margin” requirements of the exchange. Pursuant to the contract, the Master Portfolio agrees to receive from or pay to the broker an amount of cash equal to the daily fluctuation in the value of the contract. Such receipts or payments are known as “variation margin” and are recorded by the Master Portfolio as receivables or payables in the accompanying Statement of Assets and Liabilities. When the contract is closed, the Master Portfolio records a “realized gain (loss) on futures contracts” in its Statement of Operations, 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. Risks of entering into futures contracts include the possibility that there may be an illiquid market and that a change in the value of the contracts may not correlate with changes in the value of the underlying securities. The amount at risk for futures contracts may exceed the amount reflected in the financial statements.
As of December 31, 2006, the Master Portfolio has pledged to brokers a U.S. Treasury Bill with a face amount of $1,600,000 for initial margin requirements on outstanding futures contracts.
Repurchase Agreements
The Master Portfolio may enter into repurchase agreements with banks and securities dealers. These transactions involve the purchase of securities with a simultaneous commitment to resell the securities to the bank or the dealer at an agreed-upon date and price. A repurchase agreement is accounted for as an investment by the Master Portfolio, collateralized by securities, which are delivered to the Master Portfolio’s custodian or to an agent bank under a tri-party agreement. The securities are marked-to-market daily and additional securities are acquired as needed, to ensure that their value equals or exceeds the repurchase price plus accrued interest.
2. | Agreements and other Transactions with Affiliates |
Pursuant to an Investment Advisory Contract with the Master Portfolio, Barclays Global Fund Advisors (“BGFA”) provides investment advisory services to the Master Portfolio. BGFA is a California corporation indirectly owned by Barclays Bank PLC. BGFA is entitled to receive an annual investment advisory fee of 0.05% of the average daily net assets of the Master Portfolio as compensation for investment advisory services. From time to time, BGFA may waive a portion of its advisory fees. Any such waivers will reduce the expenses of the Master Portfolio and, accordingly, have a favorable impact on its performance.
The fees and expenses of the Master Portfolio’s trustees who are not “interested persons” of MIP, as defined in the 1940 Act (“Independent Trustees”), counsel to the Independent Trustees and MIP’s independent registered public accounting firm (the “independent expenses”) are paid directly by the Master Portfolio. BGFA has voluntarily agreed to cap the expenses of the Master Portfolio at the rate at which the Master Portfolio pays an advisory fee to BGFA by providing an offsetting credit against the investment advisory fees paid by the Master Portfolio in an amount equal to the independent expenses.

Notes to the Financial Statements, Continued
December 31, 2006
For the year ended December 31, 2006, BGFA credited investment advisory fees for the Master Portfolio in the amount of $48,074.
Investors Bank & Trust Company (“IBT”) serves as the custodian and sub-administrator of the Master Portfolio. IBT will not be entitled to receive fees for its custodial services, so long as it is entitled to receive a separate fee from Barclays Global Investors, N.A. (“BGI”) for its services as sub-administrator of the Master Portfolio.
SEI Investments Distribution Company (“SEI”) is the sponsor and placement agent for the Master Portfolio. SEI does not receive any fee from the Master Portfolio for acting as placement agent.
Pursuant to an exemptive order issued by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) , BGI serves as securities lending agent for MIP. BGI is an affiliate of BGFA, the Master Portfolio’s investment adviser. As securities lending agent, BGI receives, as fees, a share of the income earned on investment of the cash collateral received for the loan of securities. For the year ended December 31, 2006, BGI earned $282,685 in securities lending agent fees for its services to the Master Portfolio.
MIP has entered into an administration services arrangement with BGI, which has agreed to provide general administration services, such as managing and coordinating third-party service relationships (e.g., the Master Portfolio’s custodian, financial printer, legal counsel and independent registered public accounting firm), to the Master Portfolio. BGI is not entitled to compensation for providing administration services to the Master Portfolio, for so long as BGI is entitled to compensation for providing administration services to corresponding feeder funds that invest substantially all of their assets in the Master Portfolio, or BGI (or an affiliate) receives investment advisory fees from the Master Portfolio. BGI may delegate certain of its administration duties to sub-administrators.
Cross trades for the year ended December 31, 2006, if any, were executed by the Master Portfolio pursuant to Rule 17a-7 under the 1940 Act. Cross trading is the buying or selling of portfolio securities between funds to which BGFA (or an affiliate) serves as investment adviser. At its regularly scheduled quarterly meetings, the Board reviews such transactions as of the most recent calendar quarter, for compliance with the requirements and restrictions set forth by Rule 17a-7.
The Master Portfolio may invest in certain money market funds managed by BGFA, the Master Portfolio’s investment adviser, including the Government Money Market Fund (“GMMF”), Institutional Money Market Fund (“IMMF”), Prime Money Market Fund (“PMMF”) and Treasury Money Market Fund (“TMMF”) of Barclays Global Investors Funds. The GMMF, IMMF, PMMF and TMMF are feeder funds in a master/feeder fund structure that invest substantially all of their assets in the Government Money Market Master Portfolio, Money Market Master Portfolio, Prime Money Market Master Portfolio and Treasury Money Market Master Portfolio (collectively, the “Money Market Master Portfolios”), respectively, which are also managed by BGFA. While the GMMF, IMMF, PMMF and TMMF do not directly charge an investment advisory fee, the Money Market Master Portfolios in which they invest do charge an investment advisory fee. Income distributions from the GMMF, IMMF, PMMF and TMMF are declared daily and paid monthly from net investment income. Income distributions earned by the Master Portfolio from temporary cash investments are recorded as interest from affiliated issuers in the accompanying Statement of Operations. Income distributions earned by the Master Portfolio from the investment of securities lending collateral are included in securities lending income in the accompanying Statement of Operations.
The following table provides information about the direct investment by the Master Portfolio (exclusive of investments of securities lending collateral) in issuers of which BGFA is an affiliate, for the year ended December 31, 2006.
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | |

Certain officers and trustees of MIP are also officers of BGI and/or BGFA. As of December 31, 2006, these officers of BGI and/or BGFA collectively owned less than 1% of MIP’s outstanding beneficial interests.

3. | Investment Portfolio Transactions |
Purchases and sales of investment securities (excluding short-term securities and U.S. government obligations) for the Master Portfolio were $343,775,190 and $354,079,273 respectively for the year ended December 31, 2006.
4. | Portfolio Securities Loaned |
The Master Portfolio may lend its investment securities to approved borrowers, such as brokers, dealers and other financial institutions. The borrower pledges and maintains with the Master Portfolio collateral consisting of cash, an irrevocable letter of credit issued by a bank, or securities issued or guaranteed by the U.S. Government. The initial collateral received by the Master Portfolio is required to have a value of at least 102% of the market value of the loaned securities for securities traded on U.S. exchanges and a value of at least 105% for all other securities. The collateral is maintained thereafter, at a value equal to at least 100% of the current market value of the securities on loan. The risks to the Master Portfolio of securities lending are that the borrower may not provide additional collateral when required or may not return the securities when due.
As of December 31, 2006, the Master Portfolio had loaned securities which were collateralized by cash. Pursuant to an exemptive order issued by the SEC, the cash collateral received was invested in a joint account with other investment funds managed by BGFA. The joint account invests in securities with remaining maturities of 397 days or less, repurchase agreements and money market mutual funds, including money market funds managed by BGFA. Repurchase agreements held in the joint account are fully collateralized by U.S. Government securities or non-U.S. Government debt securities. Income from the joint account is allocated daily to the Master Portfolio, based on the Master Portfolio’s portion of the total cash collateral received. The market value of the securities on loan as of December 31, 2006 and the value of the related collateral are disclosed in the Master Portfolio’s Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Securities lending income, which is disclosed in the Master Portfolio’s Statement of Operations, is presented net of rebates paid to, or fees paid by, borrowers.
5. | Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements |
In June 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued FASB Interpretation No. 48 (“FIN 48”), “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes—an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109.” FIN 48 clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in accordance with FASB Statement No. 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes.” This interpretation prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. It also provides guidance on de-recognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure and transition. FIN 48 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006. The SEC staff has stated that it would not object if a fund does not implement FIN 48 in its NAV calculation until the date of the fund’s last NAV calculation in the first required financial statement reporting period for its fiscal year beginning after December 15, 2006. MIP is currently evaluating the impact of applying the various provisions of FIN 48.
In September 2006, FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157 (“FAS 157”), “Fair Value Measurements.” FAS 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and expands disclosure about fair value measurements. FAS 157 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. MIP is currently evaluating the impact the adoption of FAS 157 will have on the Master Portfolio’s financial statement disclosures.
Financial highlights for the Master Portfolio were as follows:

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the Interestholders and Board of Trustees of
Master Investment Portfolio:
In our opinion, the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities, including the schedule of investments, and the related statements of operations and of changes in net assets and the financial highlights present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the S&P 500 Index Master Portfolio, a portfolio of Master Investment Portfolio (the “Master Portfolio”), at December 31, 2006, 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 accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These financial statements and financial highlights (hereafter referred to as “financial statements”) are the responsibility of the Master Portfolio’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements 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 are free of material misstatement. An audit 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, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits, which included confirmation of securities at December 31, 2006 by correspondence with the custodian and brokers, provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
