LETTER FROMTHE INVESTMENT ADVISOR
Dear Shareholders:
We are pleased to present this semiannual report for the BB&T Equity Index Fund, covering the six-month period through June 30, 2009. The S&P 500® Index1 gained 1.78% for the period, but the number belies the significant decline and subsequent rally that occurred during the period.
A number of leading economic indicators improved during the period, suggesting that the economy may have begun to mend. While employment figures continued to be bleak, the housing market stabilized, in part due to the government’s efforts to reduce mortgage rates. The economy displayed broad signs that the credit crisis had begun to ease, including a dramatic narrowing in credit spreads. Several of the large financial institutions that received funds from the Troubled Asset Relief Program (TARP) began to repay them near the end of the period, signaling increased stability in the financial sector.
The S&P 500 fell sharply through March 9, then posted a strong rally and finished the six-month period slightly positive. That date proved to be a turning point not just in overall performance, but also in market leadership.
Growth shares significantly outperformed value stocks as the market declined: the Russell 3000® Growth Index, which measures growth-oriented shares of small, mid-sized and large companies, fell 18.18% through March 9, compared to a 31.22% drop in the Russell 3000® Value Index. Shares of large companies held up better than small stocks during this initial period, with the large-cap Russell 1000® Index falling 24.20% through March 9, compared to a drop of 31.07% in the small-cap Russell 2000® Index.
Equity markets rebounded in the second half of the period as the rate of deceleration in the economy slowed and commodity prices increased. During the recovery, market leadership shifted from large-cap growth stocks to small and value shares. From March 9 through June 30, the Russell 3000® Value Index gained 39.80%, while the Russell 3000® Growth Index posted a gain of 34.58%. Likewise, the Russell 2000® Index gained 45.60%, with the Russell 1000® Index of large-cap stocks increasing 36.29%.
Thank you for selecting the BB&T Equity Index Fund. If you have any questions or would like to request a Fund prospectus, please contact us at 1-800-228-1872. We look forward to serving your investment needs during the coming years.
Sincerely,

Portfolio Holdings Summary
(Unaudited)
Investment Type | % of Investment | ||
S&P 500 Index Master Portfolio | 100.00 | % | |
For a summary of the Master Portfolio’s 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 January 1, 2009 through June 30, 2009.
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 1/1/09 | Ending Account Value 6/30/09 | Expenses Paid During Period* 1/1/09 - 6/30/09 | Annualized Expense Ratio During Period 1/1/09 - 6/30/09 | |||||||||||
BB&T Equity Index Fund | Class A | $ | 1,000.00 | $ | 1,026.80 | $ | 5.53 | 1.10 | % | |||||
Class B | 1,000.00 | 1,023.30 | 9.33 | 1.86 | % | |||||||||
Class C | 1,000.00 | 1,023.60 | 9.28 | 1.85 | % | |||||||||
Institutional Class | 1,000.00 | 1,033.10 | 3.83 | 0.76 | % |
* | Expenses are equal to the Fund’s annualized expense ratio during the period, multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by the number of days in the period, then divided by 365. |
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 1/1/09 | Ending Account Value 6/30/09 | Expenses Paid During Period* 1/1/09 - 6/30/09 | Annualized Expense Ratio During Period 1/1/09 - 6/30/09 | |||||||||||
BB&T Equity Index Fund | Class A | $ | 1,000.00 | $ | 1,019.34 | $ | 5.51 | 1.10 | % | |||||
Class B | 1,000.00 | 1,015.57 | 9.30 | 1.86 | % | |||||||||
Class C | 1,000.00 | 1,015.62 | 9.25 | 1.85 | % | |||||||||
Institutional Class | 1,000.00 | 1,021.03 | 3.81 | 0.76 | % |
* | Expenses are equal to the Fund’s annualized expense ratio during the period, multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by the number of days in the period, then divided by 365. |

BB&T FUNDS
Equity Index Fund
Notes to Financial Statements
June 30, 2009
(Unaudited)
1. | Organization: |
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 (the “Trust”), a Massachusetts business trust organized in 1992. The Fund invests 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 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 1.47% in the net assets of the Master Portfolio at June 30, 2009.
The Fund is authorized to issue an unlimited number of shares without par value. The Fund offers four classes of shares: Class A Shares, Class B Shares, Class C Shares, and Institutional Class Shares. Class A Shares of the Fund have a maximum sales charge of 5.75% as a percentage of the original purchase price. Purchases of $1 million or more in 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 up to 1.00% of the purchase price if the shares are redeemed within two years after purchase. The CDSC is based on the lower of the cost for the shares or their net asset value at the time of redemption. In addition, a CDSC of up to 1.00% of the purchase price of Class A Shares will be charged to the following shareholders who received a sales charge waiver, and then redeem their shares within two years after purchase: (i) employees of BB&T Funds, BB&T Corporation and its affiliates, and (ii) shareholders who purchased shares with proceeds from redemptions from another mutual fund complex within 60 days of redemption if a sales charge was paid on such shares. The CDSC is based on the lower of the cost for the shares or their net asset value at the time of redemption. The Class B Shares of the Fund 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 Fund 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. The Institutional Class Shares commenced operations on May 1, 2007. The Institutional Class Shares of the Fund are offered without any front-end sales charge and without any CDSC.
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 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 (i) the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and (ii) the reported amounts of income and expenses for the period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
(A) | Financial Accounting Standard Board — SFAS No. 157 “Fair Value Measurements” (“SFAS No. 157”) — SFAS No. 157 clarifies the definition of fair value for financial reporting, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and requires additional disclosures about the use of fair value measurements. |

(Unaudited)
The three levels of the fair value hierarchy under SFAS No. 157 are described 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 Fund’s own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments) |
The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.
The summary of inputs used to determine the fair valuation of the Fund’s investments as of June 30, 2009 is as follows:
Level 1 — Quoted Inputs | Level 2 — Other Significant Observable Inputs | Level 3 — Other Significant Unobservable Inputs | Total Fair Value | |||||||||
Investment in S&P 500 Index Master Portfolio | $ | 24,945,397 | $ | — | $ | — | $ | 24,945,397 |
(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 — Distributions 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 amounts of distributions from net investment income and 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. Distributions 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 the 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 Funds, based upon relative net assets or on another reasonable basis. |
(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) | 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 Revenue Code, and to make distributions of net investment income and net realized capital gains sufficient to relieve it from all, or substantially all, federal income taxes. Accordingly, no provision for federal income tax is required. |

3. | Related Party Transactions: |
Under its Investment Advisory Agreement with respect to the Fund, BB&T Asset Management, Inc. (“BB&T AM” or “Adviser”) exercises general oversight over the investment performance of the Fund. BB&T AM will advise the Board of Trustees (the “Board”) 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 of the Fund’s assets are not invested in the Master Portfolio, BB&T AM may receive an investment advisory fee from the Fund. For the six-months ended June 30, 2009, all of the Fund’s investable assets were invested in the Master Portfolio and BB&T AM received no fees.
BB&T AM serves the administrator to the Fund pursuant to the administration agreement effective as of April 23, 2007. The Fund pays its portion of a fee to BB&T AM for providing administration services based on the aggregate assets of the Trust and the BB&T Variable Insurance Funds at a rate of 0.11% on the first $3.5 billion of average net assets; 0.075% on the next $1 billion of average net assets; 0.06% on the next $1.5 billion of average net assets; and 0.04% of average net assets over $6 billion. This fee is accrued daily and payable on a monthly basis. Expenses incurred are reflected on the Statement of Operations as “Administration fees”. Pursuant to a sub-administration agreement with BB&T AM, PNC Global Investment Servicing (U.S.) Inc. (“PNC”), serves as sub-administrator to the Trust subject to the general supervision of the Board and BB&T AM. For these services, PNC is entitled to a fee payable by BB&T AM.
PNC serves as the Funds’ transfer agent and receives compensation by the Fund for these services. Expenses incurred are reflected on the Statement of Operations as “Transfer agent fees”.
BB&T AM’s Chief Compliance Officer (“CCO”) serves as the Fund’s CCO. The CCO’s compensation is reviewed and approved by the Fund’s Board and paid by BB&T AM. However, the Fund reimburses BB&T AM for its allocable portion of the CCO’s salary. Expenses incurred for the Fund are reflected on the Statement of Operations as “Compliance service fees”.
The Fund has adopted a Distribution and Shareholder Services Plan (the “Plan”) in accordance with Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act. BB&T AM Distributor, Inc. (“BBTAMD” or the “Distributor”) serves as Distributor to the Fund pursuant to underwriting agreement effective as of April 23, 2007. 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. BBTAMD has contractually agreed to limit the distribution and service (12b-1) fees for Class A Shares of the Fund to 0.25% throughout the period. Distribution fees totaling $18,406 were waived for the six-months ended June 30, 2009. 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. As distributor, BBTAMD is entitled to receive commissions on sales of shares of the Fund. For the six-months ended June 30, 2009, BBTAMD received $2,296 from commissions earned on sales of shares of the Fund. Commissions paid to affiliated broker-dealers during the six-months ended June 30, 2009 were $1,686. The fees may be used by BBTAMD to pay banks, broker dealers and other institutions, including affiliates of the Adviser.
The Adviser and/or its affiliates may pay out of their own bona fide profits 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, 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 Fund 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 Trustees who are non-interested persons (as defined in the 1940 Act) of the Trust who serve on the Board are compensated at the annual rate of $30,000 plus $5,000 for each regularly scheduled quarterly meeting attended, $4,000 for each special meeting attended in person and $3,000 for each special meeting attended by telephone, plus reimbursement for certain out of pocket expenses. Each Trustee serving on a Committee of the Board receives a fee of $4,000 for each Committee meeting attended in person and $3,000 for each Committee meeting attended by telephone, plus reimbursement of certain out of pocket expenses. Additionally, the Chairman of the Board and Audit Committee Chairman each receive an annual retainer of $10,000, and the Chairman of the Nominations

Committee receives $1,000 for each meeting attended. The fees are allocated across the Trust and BB&T Variable Insurance Funds based upon relative net assets. During the six-months ended June 30, 2009, actual Trustee compensation was $151,000 in total from the Trust, of which $1,279 was allocated to the Fund.
4. | Federal Income Taxes: |
Management has analyzed the Fund’s tax positions taken on federal income tax returns for all open tax years (current and prior three tax years), and has concluded that no provision for federal income tax is required in the Fund’s financial statements. The Fund’s federal and state income and federal excise tax returns for tax years for which the applicable statutes of limitations have not expired are subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service and state departments of revenue.
At December 31, 2008, the Fund had 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.
Amount | Expires | ||||
$ | 121,006 | 2009 | |||

$ | 9,343,103 | ||||
Under current tax law, capital losses realized after October 31 of a Fund’s fiscal year may be deferred and treated as occurring on the first business day of the following fiscal year tax purposes. The Fund had $155,945 of deferred post October capital losses, which will be treated as arising on the first business day of the fiscal year ending December 31, 2009.
The tax character of distributions paid to shareholders of the Fund during the most recent fiscal year ended December 31, 2008, were as follows:
Distributions paid from: | |||||||||
Ordinary Income | Return of Capital | Total Taxable Distributions | Total Distributions Paid* | ||||||
$1,766,680 | $ | 19,764 | $ | 1,786,444 | $ | 1,786,444 |
* | Total distributions paid may differ from the Statement of Changes in Net Assets due to differences in the tax rules governing the timing of recognition. |
5. | Subsequent Events: |
Management has evaluated the impact of all subsequent events on the Fund through August 28, 2009, the date the financial statements were issued, and has determined that there were no subsequent events requiring recognition or disclosure in the financial statements.

S&P 500 Index Master Portfolio
Notes to Financial Statements
(Unaudited)
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.
These financial statements relate only to the S&P 500 Index Master Portfolio (the “Master Portfolio”).
Pursuant to 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”). 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 valued pursuant to the pricing policy and procedures approved by the Board of Trustees of MIP (the “Board”). The Master Portfolio is subject to the provisions of Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157 (“FAS 157”), “Fair Value Measurements.” This standard establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value into three broad levels. Inputs may be based on independent market data (“observable inputs”) or they may be internally developed (“unobservable inputs”). 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). The three levels of the fair value hierarchy under FAS 157 are as follows:
• | Level 1 — Inputs that reflect unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Master Portfolio has the ability to access at the measurement date (a “Level 1 Price”); |
• | Level 2 — Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability either directly or indirectly, including quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not considered to be active, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability, and inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data by correlation or other means (a “Level 2 Price”); |
• | Level 3 — Inputs that are unobservable for the asset or liability (a “Level 3 Price”). |
The availability of observable inputs can vary from security to security and is affected by a wide variety of factors, including, for example, the type of security, whether the security is new and not yet established in the marketplace, the liquidity of markets, and other characteristics particular to the security. Inputs may include price information, volatility statistics, specific and broad credit data, liquidity statistics, and other factors. To the extent that valuation is based on models or inputs that are less observable or unobservable in the market, the determination of fair value requires more judgment. Accordingly, the degree of judgment exercised in determining fair value is greatest for instruments categorized in Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.
The level of a value determined for a financial instrument within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of any input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety. The categorization of a value determined for a financial instrument within the hierarchy is based upon the pricing transparency of the instrument and does not necessarily correspond to the Master Portfolio’s perceived risk of that instrument.

(Unaudited)
Investments whose values are based on quoted market prices in active markets, and whose values are therefore classified as Level 1 Prices, include active listed equities and certain U.S. government securities. The Master Portfolio does not adjust the quoted price for such instruments, even in situations where the Master Portfolio holds a large position and a sale could reasonably impact the quoted price.
Investments that trade in markets that are not considered to be active, but whose values are based on inputs such as quoted market prices, dealer quotations or valuations provided by alternative pricing sources supported by observable inputs are classified within Level 2. These generally include certain U.S. government and sovereign obligations, most government agency securities, investment-grade corporate bonds, certain mortgage products, less liquid listed equities, and state, municipal and provincial obligations. As Level 2 investments include positions that are not traded in active markets and/or are subject to transfer restrictions, valuations may be adjusted to reflect illiquidity and/or non-transferability, which are generally based on available market information.
Investments whose values are classified as Level 3 Prices have significant unobservable inputs, as they may trade infrequently or not at all. Investments whose values are classified as Level 3 Prices may include unlisted securities related to corporate actions, securities whose trading have been suspended or which have been de-listed from its primary trading exchange, less liquid corporate debt securities (including distressed debt instruments), collateralized debt obligations, and less liquid mortgage securities (backed by either commercial or residential real estate). When observable prices are not available for these securities, the Master Portfolio uses one or more valuation techniques (e.g., the market approach or the income approach) for which sufficient and reliable data is available. Within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy, the use of the market approach generally consists of using comparable market transactions, while the use of the income approach generally consists of the net present value of estimated future cash flows, adjusted as appropriate for liquidity, credit, market and/or other risk factors.
The inputs used by the Master Portfolio in estimating the value of Level 3 Prices may include the original transaction price, recent transactions in the same or similar instruments, completed or pending third-party transactions in the underlying investment or comparable issuers, and changes in financial ratios or cash flows. Level 3 Prices may also be adjusted to reflect illiquidity and/or non-transferability, with the amount of such discount estimated by the Master Portfolio in the absence of market information. The fair value measurement of Level 3 Prices does not include transaction costs that may have been capitalized as part of the security’s cost basis. Assumptions used by the Master Portfolio due to the lack of observable inputs may significantly impact the resulting fair value and therefore the Master Portfolio’s results of operations.
Derivative instruments can be exchange-traded or privately negotiated over-the-counter. Exchange-traded derivatives, such as futures contracts and exchange-traded option contracts, are typically classified within Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy.
Fair value pricing could result in a difference between the prices used to calculate the Master Portfolio’s net assets and the prices used by the Master Portfolio’s underlying index, which in turn, could result in a difference between the Master Portfolio’s performance and the performance of the Master Portfolio’s underlying index.
As of June 30, 2009, the value of each of the Master Portfolio’s investments was classified as a Level 1 Price. The breakdown of the Master Portfolio’s investments into major categories is disclosed in its Schedule of Investments.
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. Non-cash dividends received in the form of stock in an elective dividend, if any, are recorded as dividend income at fair value. 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.
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 June 30, 2009, the cost of investments for federal income tax purposes for the Master Portfolio was $2,455,203,813. Net unrealized depreciation aggregated $453,666,915, of which $252,332,142 represented gross unrealized appreciation on securities and $705,999,057 represented gross unrealized depreciation on securities.
Management has reviewed the tax position as of June 30, 2009, inclusive of the prior three open tax return years and has determined that no provision for income tax is required in the Master Portfolio’s financial statements.
Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities
Effective January 1, 2009, the Master Portfolio adopted FASB Statement No. 161, “Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities – an amendment of FASB Statement No. 133” (“FAS 161”). FAS 161 requires enhanced financial statement disclosures that enable investors to understand how and why the Master Portfolio uses derivatives, how derivatives are accounted for, and how the derivative instruments affect the Master Portfolio’s results of operations and financial position.
Futures Contracts
The Master Portfolio is subject to equity price risk in the normal course of pursuing its investment objective. The Master Portfolio may enter into futures contracts as substitutes for comparable positions in underlying securities, to position the portfolio for anticipated changes in markets, or to offset a potential decline in the value of other holdings. A futures contract is an agreement between two parties, a buyer and a seller, to exchange a particular commodity or financial instrument at a specific price on a specific date in the future. 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 risk of default by the counterparty, imperfect correlation between the price of the futures contract and movements in the price of the underlying asset and the possibility that there may be an illiquid market. The amount at risk for futures contracts may exceed the amount reflected in the financial statements. Futures contracts are standardized and traded on exchanges, where the exchange serves as the ultimate counterparty for all contracts. Consequently, the primary credit risk on futures contracts is the creditworthiness of the exchange.
As of June 30, 2009, the Master Portfolio has pledged to brokers a U.S. Treasury Bill with a face amount of $6,600,000 for initial margin requirements on outstanding futures contracts.

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 contractually 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.
For the six months ended June 30, 2009, BGFA credited investment advisory fees for the Master Portfolio in the amount of $19,699.
State Street Bank and Trust Company (“State Street”) serves as the custodian and sub-administrator of the Master Portfolio. State Street 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 six months ended June 30, 2009, BGI earned $907,541 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 six months ended June 30, 2009, 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. These money market funds seek to achieve their investment objectives by investing in high-quality, short-term money market instruments that, at the time of investment, have remaining maturities of 397 calendar days or less from the date of acquisition. 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, if any, are included in securities lending income in the accompanying Statement of Operations.
Certain officers and trustees of MIP are also officers of BGI and/or BGFA. As of June 30, 2009, 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 investments) for the Master Portfolio were $34,219,957 and $40,215,618, respectively, for the six months ended June 30, 2009.
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 include the risk that the borrower may not provide additional collateral when required or may not return the securities when due. Any securities lending cash collateral may be reinvested in certain short-term instruments either directly on behalf of the Master Portfolio or through one or more joint accounts or money market funds, including those managed by BGFA; such reinvestments are subject to market risk.
As of June 30, 2009, the Master Portfolio had loaned securities which were collateralized by cash. The cash collateral received was invested in money market funds managed by BGFA. The market value of the securities on loan as of June 30, 2009 and the value of the related collateral are disclosed in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Securities lending income, as disclosed in the Master Portfolio’s Statement of Operations, represents the income earned from the investment of the cash collateral, net of rebates paid to, or fees paid by, borrowers and less the fees paid to BGI as securities lending agent.

6. | Blackrock Transaction |
On June 16, 2009, Barclays PLC, the ultimate parent company of BGI and BGFA, accepted a binding offer and entered into an agreement to sell its interests in BGFA, BGI and certain affiliated companies, to BlackRock, Inc., (the “BlackRock Transaction”). The BlackRock Transaction is subject to certain regulatory approvals, as well as other conditions to closing.
Under the 1940 Act, completion of the BlackRock Transaction will cause the automatic termination of the Master Portfolio’s current investment advisory agreement with BGFA. In order for the investment management of the Master Portfolio to continue uninterrupted, the Board will be asked to approve a new investment advisory agreement for the Master Portfolio. If approved by the Board, the new investment advisory agreement will be submitted for approval by the investors in the Master Portfolio (each, a “Fund”). Each Fund will in turn call a meeting of its shareholders at which shareholders will vote to instruct the Fund how to vote on the Master Portfolio’s new investment advisory agreement.
7. | Review of Subsequent Events |
In connection with the preparation of the financial statements of the Master Portfolio as of and for the six months ended June 30, 2009, events and transactions subsequent to June 30, 2009 through August 28, 2009, the date the financial statements were issued, have been evaluated by the Master Portfolio’s management for possible adjustment and/or disclosure. No subsequent events requiring financial statement disclosure have been identified.

S&P 500 Index Master Portfolio
Board Review and Approval of Investment Advisory Contract (Unaudited)
Under Section 15(c) of the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the “1940 Act”), the Master Investment Portfolio (“MIP”) Board of Trustees (the “Board”), including a majority of Trustees who are not “interested persons” of MIP, as that term is defined in the 1940 Act (the “Independent Trustees”), is required annually to consider the Investment Advisory Contract between MIP and BGFA (the “Advisory Contract”) on behalf of the S&P 500 Index Master Portfolio (the “Master Portfolio”). As required by Section 15(c), the Board requested, and BGFA provided, such information as the Board deemed to be reasonably necessary to evaluate the terms of the Advisory Contract. At a meeting held on March 18-19, 2009, the Board approved the selection of BGFA and the continuance of the Advisory Contract, based on its review of qualitative and quantitative information provided by BGFA. In selecting BGFA and approving the Advisory Contract for the Master Portfolio, the Board, including the Independent Trustees, advised by their independent counsel, considered the following factors, none of which was controlling, and made the following conclusions:
Nature, Extent and Quality of Services Provided by BGFA
The Board anticipated that there would be no diminution in the scope of services required of or provided by BGFA under the Advisory Contract for the coming year as compared to the scope of services provided by BGFA over the past year. In reviewing the scope of these services, the Board considered BGFA’s investment philosophy and experience, noting that, over the past several years, BGFA and its affiliates have committed significant resources to the support of the Master Portfolio. The Board considered in particular that BGFA’s services for the Master Portfolio capitalizes on BGFA’s core competencies as an industry leader in index management, including the effective use of its proprietary investment model that maximizes efficiencies in implementing index changes and in maintaining fully invested portfolios. The Board also considered services provided by BGFA and its affiliates in connection with analyzing corporate actions, employing customized trading strategies, reviewing securities lending opportunities and overseeing intermediaries that provide BGI feeder fund shareholder support and processing functions.
The Board also considered BGFA’s compliance program and its compliance record with respect to the Master Portfolio. The Board noted that BGFA reports to the Board about portfolio management and compliance matters on a periodic basis in connection with regularly scheduled meetings of the Board and has made appropriate officers available as needed to provide further assistance with these matters. The Board also reviewed the background and experience of the senior management and relevant investment and other personnel, including those persons responsible for the day-to-day management of the Master Portfolio and the adequacy of the time and attention that such persons devote to the Master Portfolio. The Board also considered the reputation and overall financial strength of BGFA and its affiliates, as well as the Board’s past experience with BGFA. In addition to the above considerations, the Board reviewed and considered BGFA’s investment processes and strategies, and matters related to BGFA’s portfolio transaction policies and procedures. In addition, the Board reviewed the performance of (i) other registered investment companies with substantially similar investment objectives and strategies as the Master Portfolio for which BGFA provides investment advisory services, and (ii) the Master Portfolio’s published performance benchmark, the S&P 500 Index. The Board noted that the Master Portfolio, net of expenses, underperformed its published benchmark on an annualized basis in 2008 and over three years, over five years, and over ten years, which would be expected, such underperformance being attributable to the effect of fees, and noted that the published benchmark is an index, which does not have expenses. The Board also noted that during BGFA’s term as investment adviser, the Master Portfolio has met its investment objective consistently over time. Based on this review, the Board concluded that the nature, extent and quality of services to be provided by BGFA to the Master Portfolio under the Advisory Contract were appropriate and supported the Board’s approval of the Advisory Contract for the coming year.
Master Portfolio’s Expenses and Performance of the Master Portfolio
The Board reviewed statistical information prepared by Lipper Inc. (“Lipper”), an independent provider of investment company data, regarding the expense ratio components, including actual advisory fees, waivers/reimbursements, and gross and net total expenses of the Master Portfolio in comparison with the same information for other investment companies registered under the 1940 Act, objectively selected by Lipper as comprising the Master Portfolio’s peer group pursuant to Lipper’s proprietary methodology and registered funds that would otherwise have been excluded from Lipper’s comparison groups because of their size or other differentiating factors, but were nonetheless included at the request of BGFA (the “Lipper Expense Group”). In addition, the Board reviewed statistical information prepared by Lipper regarding the performance of the Master Portfolio for the one-, three-, five-, and ten-year periods ended December 31, 2008, and as compared to the performance of other registered investment companies with similar investment objectives, as selected by Lipper as comprising such Master Portfolio’s peer group pursuant to Lipper’s proprietary methodology and registered investment companies that would otherwise have been excluded from Lipper’s comparison groups because of their size or other differentiating factors, but were nonetheless included at the request of BGFA (the

“Lipper Performance Group,” and collectively with the Lipper Expense Group, the “Lipper Groups”). The Board considered that the component funds of the Lipper Groups are publicly available funds, more analogous in overall expense structure to the Barclays Global Investors Funds S&P 500 Stock Fund than to underlying Master Portfolio, which is not available for investment except to other investment companies. In support of its review of the statistical information, the Board was provided with a detailed description of the methodology used by Lipper to determine the Lipper Groups and to prepare this information.
The Board noted that the Master Portfolio generally performed in line with its performance benchmark index over relevant periods. The Board noted that the advisory fee rate for the Master Portfolio was lower than the median of the advisory fee rates of the funds in its Lipper Expense Group, and the overall expenses for the Master Portfolio were lower than median of the overall expenses of the funds in its Lipper Expense Group. Based on this review, the Board concluded that the investment advisory fees and expense levels and the historical performance of the Master Portfolio, as managed by BGFA, as compared to the investment advisory fees and expense levels and performance of the funds in the Lipper Expense Groups, were satisfactory for the purposes of approving the Advisory Contract for the coming year.
Costs of Services Provided to Master Portfolio and Profits Realized by BGFA and Affiliates
The Board reviewed information about the profitability to BGFA of the Master Portfolio, and the Barclays Global Investors Fund, separately and together, based on the fees payable to BGFA, and its affiliates (including fees under the Advisory Contract), and all other sources of revenue and expense to BGFA and its affiliates from the operations of the Master Portfolio and the Barclays Global Investors Fund for the last calendar year. The Board discussed the sources of direct and ancillary revenue with management, including the revenues to BGI from securities lending by MIP (including any securities lending by the Master Portfolio), revenues received from transactions for MIP executed through affiliates (including any such transactions for the Master Portfolio), and any fee revenue from any investments by the Master Portfolio in other funds for which BGFA provides advisory services and/or BGI provides administration services. The Board also noted that BGFA had provided information relating to management estimates of 2009 profitability from the operations of the Master Portfolio; however, the Board considered these forward-looking estimates to be of limited value, and did not base its conclusions on this information. Based on this review, the Board concluded that the profits realized by BGFA and its affiliates under the Advisory Contract and from other relationships between the Master Portfolio and BGFA and/or its affiliates were within the range the Board considered reasonable and appropriate.
Economies of Scale
In connection with its review of BGFA’s profitability analysis, the Board received information regarding economies of scale or other efficiencies that may result from increases in the Master Portfolio’s asset levels. The Board noted that the Advisory Contract does not provide any breakpoints in the investment advisory fee rate as a result of any increases in the asset levels of the Master Portfolio. However, the Board noted that the investment advisory fee rate for the Master Portfolio had been set initially at the lower end of the marketplace so as to afford the Master Portfolio’s interestholders the opportunity to share in anticipated economies of scale from inception. The Board also noted the difficulty of considering the potential for economies of scale based on advisory services independently and separately from any potential for economies of scale based on other services provided by BGFA and its affiliates. Based on the profitability analysis presented to the Board, the Board discussed the potential for future economies of scale as the asset levels of the Master Portfolio increases. In light of this analysis and the relatively low investment advisory fee rate for the Master Portfolio, the Board determined that whether further economies of scale may be realized by the Master Portfolio or reflected in fee levels was not a significant factor at this juncture in its consideration of whether to approve the Advisory Contract.
Fees and Services Provided for Other Comparable Funds/Accounts Managed by BGFA and its Affiliates
The Board considered the Master Portfolio’s annual investment advisory fee rate under the Advisory Contract in comparison to the investment advisory/management fee rates for other funds/accounts with substantially similar investment objectives and strategies for which BGFA (or its affiliate BGI) provides investment advisory/management services, including other funds registered under the 1940 Act, collective funds and separate accounts (collectively, the “Other Accounts”). The Board noted that BGFA had provided information distinguishing the level of services provided to the Other Accounts from the level of services provided to the Master Portfolio. In the context of the comparative fee analysis, the Board compared the nature and extent of services provided to the Master Portfolio to the nature and extent of services provided to the Other Accounts, including, among other things, the level of complexity in managing the Master Portfolio and the Other Accounts under differing regulatory requirements and client guidelines.

Board Review and Approval of Investment Advisory Contract (Unaudited), Continued
The Board noted that the investment advisory fee rate under the Advisory Contract for the Master Portfolio was generally within the ranges of the investment advisory/management fee rates for the Other Accounts. The Board further noted that any differences between the investment advisory fee rate for the Master Portfolio and the investment advisory/management fee rates for the Other Accounts appeared to be attributable to, among other things, the type and level of services provided and/or the asset levels of the Other Accounts. Based on this review, the Board determined that the investment advisory fee rate under the Advisory Contract does not constitute fees that are so disproportionately large as to bear no reasonable relationship to the services rendered and that could not have been the product of arm’s-length bargaining, and concluded that the investment advisory fee rate under the Advisory Contract is fair and reasonable.
Other Benefits to BGFA and/or its Affiliates
The Board reviewed any ancillary revenue received by BGFA and/or its affiliates in connection with the services provided to MIP and the Master Portfolio by BGFA, such as any payment of revenue to BGI, MIP’s securities lending agent, for loaning any portfolio securities, payment of administration fees to BGI, MIP’s administrator, and payment of advisory fees and/or administration fees to BGFA and BGI in connection with any investments by the Master Portfolio in other funds for which BGFA provides investment advisory services and/or BGI provides administration services, as well as the associated voluntary waivers by BGFA and/or its affiliates of these fees, if any. The Board noted that BGFA does not use soft dollars or consider the value of research or other services that may be provided to BGFA (including its affiliates) in selecting brokers for portfolio transactions for the Master Portfolio. The Board further noted that during the past year no portfolio transactions were placed through a BGFA affiliate, as would be required to be reported to and considered by the Board pursuant to Rule 17e-1 under the 1940 Act. The Board concluded that any ancillary benefits would not be disadvantageous to the Master Portfolio’s interestholders.
Based on this analysis, the Board determined that the Advisory Contract, including the investment advisory fee rate thereunder, is fair and reasonable in light of all relevant circumstances and concluded that it is in the best interest of the Master Portfolio and its interestholders to approve the Advisory Contract for the coming year.
