American Beacon Funds June 30, 2008 (PHOTO OF WILLIAM F. QUINN) FELLOW SHAREHOLDERS, I am pleased to present to you the American Beacon S&P 500 Index Fund, Small Cap Index Fund and International Equity Index Fund Semi-Annual Report for the six months ended June 30, 2008. The American Beacon S&P 500 Index Fund and Small Cap Index Fund, both Institutional Class, reported a total return of -12.03% and -9.33%, respectively, for this six-month period, with an expense ratio of 13 basis points (0.13%) and 20 basis points (0.20%) for its most recent fiscal year. The Institutional Class of the American Beacon International Equity Index Fund reported a total return of -10.77% for this six-month period, with an expense ratio of 19 basis points (0.19%) for its most recent fiscal year. This Fund beat the MSCI EAFE Index return for the same period by 19 basis points (0.19%). During the period, the sub-prime mortgage crisis continued to cause uncertainties surrounding banks, investment banks and the entire financial system, resulting in an extraordinary amount of volatility. The Federal Reserve ("Fed") was challenged to fulfill its dual mandate of balancing the risks to both growth and inflation. Inflation concerns were mounting, but weak economic growth and turmoil in the financial markets limited the Fed's ability to raise interest rates in the near term to strengthen the U.S. dollar and counter inflation. We believe the Fund's fundamental value investment philosophy and lower than average expense ratio will continue to serve the Fund well over the longer term. Please review the enclosed market overview, portfolio listings and detailed financial data. As always, we welcome the opportunity to serve your financial needs.

Thank you for your continued confidence in the American Beacon Index Funds. Sincerely, /s/ William F. Quinn William F. Quinn President American Beacon Funds Investing in foreign equities entails additional risk not associated with domestic equities, such as currency fluctuations, economic and political instability and differences in accounting standards. Investing in the securities of small capitalization companies involves greater risk and the possibility of greater price volatility than investing in larger capitalization and more established companies. 1 DOMESTIC MARKET OVERVIEW JUNE 30, 2008 (UNAUDITED) The continued financial industry turmoil and surging energy prices took their toll on the U.S. equity markets. After experiencing positive results in April and May, the markets resumed their downward spiral in June. The June sell-off knocked 10% off the Dow Jones Industrial Average, its worst June return since the Great Depression, as every member company posted negative returns. Broader market measures fared somewhat better, but all are in the red year-to-date. Performance by market capitalization has been mixed all year. Following the first quarter when return dispersion by market cap was very narrow, mid- and small capitalization companies were the clear leaders in the second quarter. Large company benchmarks fell hard as heavyweights like General Electric, AT&T and Bank of America posted double-digit losses. The general trends that have existed for some time at the sector level continued. As commodity prices have risen, Energy companies produced the best returns, followed by Utilities and Materials companies. On the flip side, Financial companies continued to suffer from credit and banking issues. Since mid-2007 when economic and equity market weakness became evident, growth companies have outperformed value companies every quarter except for the first quarter of 2008. The second quarter continued the theme of outperformance by growth companies across the market capitalization range. 2 PERFORMANCE OVERVIEW AMERICAN BEACON S&P 500(R) INDEX FUND+ JUNE 30, 2008 (UNAUDITED) For the six months ended June 30, 2008, the total return of the Institutional Class of the American Beacon S&P 500 Index Fund was -12.03%, slightly below the S&P 500 Index return of -11.91% and the Lipper S&P 500 Objective Funds Index return of -12.00%.

A portion of the fees charged to the PlanAhead Class of the Fund was waived through 2002. Performance prior to waiving fees was lower than the actual returns shown for periods prior to 2002. (3.) The Lipper S&P 500 Objective Funds Index tracks the results of the 30 largest mutual funds in the Lipper S&P 500 Objective Funds category. Lipper is an independent mutual fund research and ranking service. The S&P 500 Index is a market capitalization weighted index of common stocks publicly traded in the U.S. One cannot invest directly in an index. (4.) The total annual Fund operating expense ratios set forth in the most recent prospectus for the Institutional and PlanAhead Class shares were 0.13% and 0.63%, respectively. The expense ratios above may vary from the expense ratios presented in other sections of this report which are based on expenses incurred during the period covered by this report. Eight of the 10 economic sectors in the S&P 500 Index (the "Index") lost value during the first half of 2008. Energy stocks continued to be a bright spot, rising 8.9%. Company earnings were strong in the sector, aided by rising oil, natural gas and gasoline prices. Materials stocks managed a small gain of 1.2%. These companies were also assisted by strong commodity prices. Financials bore the brunt of the pain in the first half of 2008, falling 29.7%. Losses were widespread in the sector as the credit crunch and falling home prices took a heavy toll. Many financial companies took multi-billion dollar losses on bad loans and mortgage related instruments. Cyclical companies were also hit as consumers reduced spending in response to high commodity prices and fears of recession and inflation. Consumer Discretionary stocks fell 13.3% in the first half. The Information Technology, Telecommunication Services, Industrial, and Health Care sectors all took double digits falls as well. The two best performing stocks in the Index during the first half of 2008 were Big Lots and Nabors Industries. Big Lots was able to post a gain of over 95% as shoppers' greater focus on price led to a strong return for the discount retailer. Nabors owed its return of nearly 80% to the continued strong performance within the Energy sector during the first part of 2008. The two worst performing stocks during the first half of 2008 were Ambac Financial Group and Bear Stearns. Ambac Financial Group had a decline of over 92% while Bear Stearns posted a return of -89%. Both stocks were hurt by the continued credit crunch and concerns regarding mortgage losses. As of June 30, 2008, the Fund's largest sector weightings were Information Technology (16.4% of assets), Energy (16.2% of assets), and Financials (14.2% of assets), consistent with the top sectorweightings in the index. The investment manager continues to utilize a replication strategy, typically owning all 500 names in the S&P 500 Index in approximately the same weightings as the Index. Therefore, the Fund is expected to continue to meet its objective of closely tracking, before expenses, the return of its benchmark, the S&P 500 Index.

The expense ratio above may vary from the expense ratio presented in other sections of this report which is based on expenses incurred during the period covered by this report. Nine of the ten sectors in the Russell 2000 Index (the "Index") lost ground during the semi-annual period. Only the Energy sector, up 45.4%, recorded a positive return. Telecommunication Services, Consumer Discretionary, and Financials were the weakest performing sectors, down 23.0%, 18.9% and 17.1%, respectively. The strongest performers among individual stocks in the Index included Goodrich Petroleum Corp., Finish Line, Inc. and Clayton Williams Energy, Inc., which were up 266.6%, 259.5% and 252.9%, respectively. Conversely, Superior Offshore International, down 95.0%, Fremont General Corp., down 94.6%, and Keryx Biopharmaceuticals, Inc., down 94.3%, recorded the most notable losses for the period. The Fund will continue to strive to meet its objective of closely replicating, before expenses, the return of its benchmark, the Russell 2000 Index. It does so by investing in a subset of the securities in the Index such that the characteristics of the portfolio closely track the characteristics of the Index.

June was the worst month of the period and caused the developed foreign markets to fall for the third straight quarter. The MSCI EAFE Index dropped by 11.0% for the six-month period. The U.S. dollar strengthened slightly in the second quarter and the EAFE Index fell less than 1% in local terms. However, for the six-month period, the EAFE Index was down 15.7% in local terms. The MSCI EAFE Growth Index outperformed the MSCI EAFE Value Index for the six months. The Growth Index was flat for the second quarter, while the Value Index dropped 4.6%. Asian markets outperformed European markets for the period. Given the negative performance of the Index, only four of the 21 EAFE markets produced positive returns in the second quarter, while only Norway (up 1.6%) was able to generate a positive return for the six-month period. Of the major markets, Japan was the top market for the second quarter (up 2.5%) and the six-month period (down 5.5%). The Netherlands was the worst major market for the second quarter (down 8.8%) and the six-month period (down 14.8%). Energy (up 17.5%) and Materials (up 9.6%) were the only two sectors with positive performance for the six-month period. Financials was the worst sector for the second quarter (down 10.7%) and the six-month period (down 20.1%). 6 PERFORMANCE OVERVIEW AMERICAN BEACON INTERNATIONAL EQUITY INDEX FUND(SM) JUNE 30, 2008 (UNAUDITED) For the six months ended June 30, 2008, the Institutional Class of the American Beacon International Equity Index Fund posted a total return of - -10.77%, slightly above the MSCI EAFE Index (the "Index") return of -10.96% and ahead of the Lipper International Funds Index return of -11.15%.

The Lipper International Funds Index tracks the results of the 30 largest mutual funds in the Lipper International Funds category. Lipper is an independent mutual fund research and ranking service. The MSCI EAFE Index is a market capitalization weighted index of international stock performance composed of equities from developed markets excluding the U.S. and Canada. Performance is that of the MSCI EAFE Index through 9/30/01, the MSCI Provisional EAFE Index from 10/1/01 through 5/31/02, and the MSCI EAFE Index thereafter. One cannot invest directly in an index. (3.) The total annual Fund operating expense ratio set forth in the most recent prospectus for the Fund was 0.19%. The expense ratio above may vary from the expense ratio presented in other sections of this report, which is based on expenses incurred during the period covered by this report. Amid fears of economic recession resulting primarily from the threat of inflation, record-high oil and gasoline prices and the continued fallout from the troubled U.S. housing market, international equity markets generally lost ground during the first six months of 2008. The strongest performing countries were Bermuda, Luxembourg and Norway, up 29.0%, 26.5% and 1.3%, respectively. Conversely Greece, down 26.7%, New Zealand, down 26.2%, and Portugal, down 24.7%, posted the lowest returns for the period. Only two of the 10 sectors within the Index finished in positive territory. The Materials sector gained 6.0% and the Energy sector gained 5.1%, while Financials, Consumer Discretionary, and Telecommunication Services, down 19.8%, 16.5% and 15.9%, respectively, were the weakest performing sectors. The strongest performers among individual stocks in the Index during the period included K+S AG, Origin Energy Ltd., and Yara International ASA, which posted respective gains of 144.1%, 101.7% and 93.1%. At the other end of the spectrum, Babcock & Brown lost 69.3%, Yell Group plc was down 68.7% and Taylor Wimpey plc declined 66.5% making these the worst performing stocks in the Index for the semi-annual period. The Fund continues to pursue its objective of closely replicating, before expenses, the return of its benchmark, the MSCI EAFE Index. It does so by investing in a subset of the securities in the Index such that the characteristics of the portfolio closely track the characteristics of the Index. 7 PERFORMANCE OVERVIEW AMERICAN BEACON INTERNATIONAL EQUITY INDEX FUND(SM) JUNE 30, 2008 (UNAUDITED) TOP TEN HOLDINGS % OF EQUITIES* --------- BP plc ................................ 1.8% HSBC Holdings plc ..................... 1.5% Total S.A. ............................ 1.5% Nestle S.A. ........................... 1.4% Vodafone Group plc .................... 1.3% BHP Billiton Ltd. ..................... 1.2% Royal Dutch Shell plc (CI A) .......... 1.2% E.ON AG ............................... 1.0% Novartis AG ........................... 1.0% Toyota Motor Corp. .................... 1.0% EQUITY SECTOR ALLOCATION % OF EQUITIES* EAFE --------- ----- Financials ............................ 25.1% 25.1% Industrials ........................... 12.0% 12.0% Materials ............................. 11.9% 11.8% Consumer Discretionary ................ 9.7% 9.7% Energy ................................ 9.3% 9.3% Consumer Staples ...................... 8.1% 8.1% Health Care ........................... 6.8% 6.8% Utilities ............................. 6.4% 6.4% Telecommunication Services ............ 5.6% 5.6% Information Technology ................ 5.1% 5.2% * Percent of equity portion of Master International Index Series COUNTRY ALLOCATION (PIE CHART) United Kingdom ........................ 21.89% Japan ................................. 21.42% France ................................ 10.75% Germany ............................... 9.11% Switzerland ........................... 7.03% Australia ............................. 6.87% Spain ................................. 4.11% Italy ................................. 3.80% Netherlands ........................... 2.56% Sweden ................................ 2.19% Finland ............................... 1.56% Hong Kong ............................. 2.14% Belgium ............................... 1.02% Norway ................................ 1.12% Singapore ............................. 1.10% Denmark ............................... 1.02% Ireland ............................... 0.57% Greece ................................ 0.66% Austria ............................... 0.63% Portugal .............................. 0.28% New Zealand ........................... 0.09% % OF EQUITIES* EAFE --------- ----- United Kingdom ........................ 21.9% 21.9% Japan ................................. 21.4% 21.4% France ................................ 10.7% 10.7% Germany ............................... 9.1% 9.1% Switzerland ........................... 7.0% 7.1% Australia ............................. 6.9% 6.8% Spain ................................. 4.1% 4.1% Italy ................................. 3.8% 3.8% Netherlands ........................... 2.6% 2.6% Sweden ................................ 2.2% 2.2% Hong Kong ............................. 2.1% 2.1% Finland ............................... 1.6% 1.6% Singapore ............................. 1.2% 1.2% Norway ................................ 1.1% 1.1% Belgium ............................... 1.0% 1.0% Denmark ............................... 1.0% 1.0% Greece ................................ 0.7% 0.7% Austria ............................... 0.6% 0.6% Ireland ............................... 0.6% 0.6% Portugal .............................. 0.3% 0.3% New Zealand ........................... 0.1% 0.1% * Percent of equity portion of Master International Index Series 8 FUND EXPENSES JUNE 30, 2008 (UNAUDITED) FUND EXPENSE EXAMPLE As a shareholder of a Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees, administrative service fees, and other Fund expenses. The examples below are intended to help you understand the ongoing cost (in dollars) of investing in a particular Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds. The examples are based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period from January 1, 2008 through June 30, 2008. ACTUAL EXPENSES The following table provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this table, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the "Expenses Paid During Period" row to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period. Shareholders of the Institutional and PlanAhead Classes that invest in a Fund through an IRA may be subject to a custodial IRA fee of $12 that is typically deducted each December. If your account was subject to a custodial IRA fee during the period, your costs would have been $12 higher.

You may compare the ongoing costs of investing in a particular Fund with other funds by contrasting this 5% hypothetical example and the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. Shareholders of the Institutional and PlanAhead Classes that invest in a Fund through an IRA may be subject to a custodial IRA fee of $12 that is typically deducted each December. If your account was subject to a custodial IRA fee during the period, your costs would have been $12 higher. You should also be aware that the expenses shown in the table highlight only your ongoing costs and do not reflect any transaction costs charged by a Fund. Similarly, the expense examples for other funds do not reflect any transaction costs charged by those funds, such as sales charges (loads), redemption fees or exchange fees. Therefore, the "Expenses Paid During Period" line of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. If you were subject to any transaction costs during the period, your costs would have been higher.

ORGANIZATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES American Beacon Funds (the "Trust") is organized as a Massachusetts business trust and is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the "Act"), as amended, as a no load, diversified, open-end management investment company. These financial statements and notes to the financial statements relate to the American Beacon S&P 500 Index Fund, the American Beacon Small Cap Index Fund and the American Beacon International Equity Index Fund (each a "Fund" and collectively, the "Funds"), each a series of the Trust. American Beacon Advisors, Inc. (the "Manager") is a wholly-owned subsidiary of AMR Corporation ("AMR") and was organized in 1986 to provide business management, advisory, administrative and asset management consulting services to the Trust and other investors. On April 16, 2008, AMR, the parent company of the Manager, announced that it had reached a definitive agreement to sell all of its interests in the Manager to Lighthouse Holdings, Inc., which is owned by investment funds affiliated with Pharos Capital Group, LLC and TPG Capital, L.P. AMR will acquire a minority equity stake in the parent corporation of Lighthouse Holdings, Inc. Completion of the sale would result in a change of control of the Manager, but there are no anticipated material changes in the services to be provided by the Manager or in the fee rate charged by the Manager to the Fund. The target closing date for the proposed acquisition is expected to be no later than September 30, 2008. Based in Dallas and Nashville, Pharos Capital Group, LLP invests through private equity funds, primarily in companies seeking later stage equity funding for internal growth, acquisitions, management buyouts or recapitalizations across industry sectors. TPG Capital, L.P. is the global buyout group of TPG, a leading private investment firm with more than $50 billion of assets under management. TPG Capital, L.P. has extensive experience with global public and private investments executed through leveraged buyouts, recapitalizations, spinouts, joint ventures and restructurings. Each Fund invests all of its investable assets in a corresponding portfolio. The State Street Equity 500 Index Portfolio, Master Small Cap Index Series and the Master International Index Series (each a "Portfolio" and collectively the "Portfolios") are open-ended management investment companies registered under the Act. The value of such investment reflects each Fund's proportionate interest in the net assets of the corresponding Portfolio. % OF PORTFOLIO HELD BY FUND AT AMERICAN BEACON: PORTFOLIOS: JUNE 30, 2008 - ---------------- --------------------------------------- --------------- S&P 500 Index Fund State Street Equity 500 Index Portfolio 14.7% Small Cap Index Fund Master Small Cap Index Series 7.8% International Equity Index Fund Master International Index Series 31.0% The financial statements of the Portfolios are included elsewhere in this report and should be read in conjunction with the Funds' financial statements. The following is a summary of the significant accounting policies followed by the Funds. Class Disclosure The S&P 500 Index Fund has two classes of shares designed to meet the needs of different groups of investors. The following table sets forth the differences amongst the classes: CLASS: OFFERED TO: SERVICE FEES: - ------ -------------------------------------------------------------- --------------------------------- INSTITUTIONAL CLASS Investors making an initial investment of $2 million Administrative Service Fee - 0.05% PLANAHEAD CLASS General public and investors investing through an intermediary Administrative Service Fee - 0.25% Service Fee - 0.25% 13 AMERICAN BEACON FUNDS NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS JUNE 30, 2008 (UNAUDITED) Investment income, net capital gains (losses) and all expenses incurred by the S&P 500 Index Fund are allocated based on the relative net assets of each class, except for service fees and certain other fees and expenses related solely to one class of shares. Security Valuation Valuation of securities by each Portfolio is discussed in the Portfolios' Notes to Financial Statements, which are included elsewhere in this report. The Portfolios adopted the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157, "Fair Value Measurements" ("FAS 157"), effective with the beginning of the Portfolios' fiscal year. This standard 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. The three levels of the hierarchy under FAS 157 are described below: Level 1 - Quoted prices in active markets for identical securities. Level 2 - Prices determined using other significant observable inputs. These may include quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, and others. Level 3 - Prices determined using significant unobservable inputs. Unobservable inputs reflect the Portfolio's own assumptions about the factors market participants would use in pricing an investment, and would be based on the best information available. The summary of inputs used to value the Portfolios' net assets as of June 30, 2008 is discussed in the Portfolios' Notes to Financial Statements, which are included elsewhere in this report. Investment Income Each Fund records its share of net investment income and realized and unrealized gains and losses from the security transactions of its corresponding Portfolio each day. All net investment income and realized and unrealized gains (losses) of each Portfolio are allocated pro rata among the investors in that Portfolio at the time of such determination. Dividends to Shareholders Dividends from net investment income of the Small Cap Index and International Equity Index Funds normally will be declared and paid annually. The S&P 500 Index Fund normally will declare and pay dividends quarterly. Distributions, if any, of net realized capital gains are generally paid annually and recorded on the ex-dividend date. Dividends are determined in accordance with income tax principles that may treat certain transactions differently than generally accepted accounting principles. Allocation of Income, Expenses, Gains and Losses Income, expenses (other than those attributable to a specific class), gains and losses are allocated daily to each class of shares based upon the relative proportion of net assets represented by such class. Operating expenses directly attributable to a specific class are charged against the operations of that class. Valuation of Shares The price per share is calculated on each day on which shares are offered for sale. Net asset value per share is computed by dividing the value of each Fund's total assets (which includes the value of the Fund's investments in its Portfolio) less liabilities, by the number of Fund shares outstanding. 14 AMERICAN BEACON FUNDS NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS JUNE 30, 2008 (UNAUDITED) Use of Estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results may differ from those estimated. Other Under the Trust's organizational documents, its officers and directors are indemnified against certain liability arising out of the performance of their duties to the Trust. In the normal course of business, the Trust enters into contracts that provide indemnification to the other party or parties against potential costs or liabilities. The Trust's maximum exposure under these arrangements is dependent on claims that may be made in the future and, therefore, cannot be estimated. The Trust has had no prior claims or losses pursuant to any such agreement. 2. FEES AND TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES Administrative Services Agreement The Manager and the Trust entered into an Administrative Services Agreement which obligates the Manager to provide or oversee administrative and management services to each Fund. As compensation for performing the duties required under the Administrative Services Agreement, the Manager receives an annualized fee of 0.05% of the average daily net assets of the Institutional Class of the S&P 500 Index Fund, International Equity Index Fund and the Small Cap Index Fund and an annualized fee of 0.25% of the average daily net assets of the PlanAhead Class of the S&P 500 Index Fund. Service Plans The Manager and the Trust entered into a Service Plan that obligates the Manager to oversee additional shareholder servicing of the PlanAhead Class of S&P 500 Index Fund. As compensation for performing the duties required under the Service Plan, the Manager receives 0.25% of the average daily net assets of the PlanAhead Class of the S&P 500 Index Fund. Subadministration Agreement The Trust, the Manager and BlackRock Advisors, LLC ("BlackRock") entered into a Subadministration Agreement that obligates BlackRock to provide certain other administrative services to the Small Cap Index Fund and the International Equity Index Fund. As compensation for performing these services, BlackRock receives an annualized fee of 0.08% of the average daily net assets of the Small Cap Index Fund and 0.12% of the average daily net assets of the International Equity Index Fund; however, the fee of each is to be reduced by the total expense ratio of its corresponding Portfolio, net of any fee waivers. Other At June 30, 2008, the employee benefit plans of AMR Corporation and subsidiary companies owned 93.3% of the Institutional Class of the S&P 500 Index Fund, 96.7% of the Small Cap Index Fund and 80.8% of the International Equity Index Fund. 3. FEDERAL INCOME AND EXCISE TAXES It is the policy of each of the Funds to comply with the requirements of Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code and to distribute substantially all net investment income as well as any net realized capital gains on the sale of investments. Therefore, no federal income or excise tax provision is required. 15 AMERICAN BEACON FUNDS NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS JUNE 30, 2008 (UNAUDITED) The Funds adopted the provisions of FASB Interpretation No. 48, "Accounting for Uncertainties in Income Taxes" ("FIN 48"), on January 1, 2007. FIN 48 sets forth a minimum threshold for financial statement recognition of the benefit of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. The implementation of FIN 48 did not result in any unrecognized tax benefits in the accompanying financial statements. Each of the tax years in the three year period ended December 31, 2007, remains subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service. If applicable, the Funds recognize interest accrued related to unrecognized tax benefits in interest expense and penalties in "Other expenses" on the Statement of Operations. Dividends are categorized in accordance with income tax regulations which may treat certain transactions differently than U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. Accordingly, the character of distributions and composition of net assets for tax purposes may differ from those reflected in the accompanying financial statements. The International Equity Index Fund may be subject to taxes imposed by countries in which it invests. Such taxes are generally based on returns of income earned or gains realized or repatriated. Taxes are accrued applicable, as the income is earned or capital gains are recorded. The tax character of distributions paid during the six months ended June 30, 2008 and fiscal year ended December 31, 2007 were as follows (in thousands): INTERNATIONAL EQUITY S&P 500 INDEX SMALL CAP INDEX INDEX ---------------------- ---------------------- ---------------------- SIX MONTHS YEAR SIX MONTHS YEAR SIX MONTHS YEAR ENDED ENDED ENDED ENDED ENDED ENDED JUNE 30, DECEMBER JUNE 30, DECEMBER JUNE 30, DECEMBER 2008 31, 2007 2008 31, 2007 2008 31, 2007 ----------- -------- ----------- -------- ----------- -------- (UNAUDITED) (UNAUDITED) (UNAUDITED) DISTRIBUTIONS PAID FROM: ORDINARY INCOME:* Institutional Class ............ $1,406 $4,560 $-- $1,510 $-- $11,655 PlanAhead Class ................ 62 286 -- -- -- -- LONG-TERM CAPITAL GAIN: Institutional Class ............ -- -- -- 2,456 -- 2,572 PlanAhead Class ................

ORGANIZATION State Street Master Funds (the "Trust") is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "1940 Act"), as an open-end management investment company, and was organized as a business trust under the laws of The Commonwealth of Massachusetts on July 27, 1999. The Trust comprises eleven investment portfolios: the State Street Equity 500 Index Portfolio, the State Street Equity 400 Index Portfolio, the State Street Equity 2000 Index Portfolio, the State Street Aggregate Bond Index Portfolio, the State Street Money Market Portfolio, the State Street Tax Free Money Market Portfolio, the State Street Short-Term Tax Exempt Bond Portfolio, the State Street Limited Duration Bond Portfolio, the State Street Treasury Money Market Portfolio, the State Street Treasury Plus Money Market Portfolio and the State Street U.S. Government Money Market Portfolio. Information presented in these financial statements pertains only to the State Street Equity 500 Index Portfolio (the "Portfolio"). At June 30, 2008, only the Portfolio, the State Street Money Market Portfolio, the State Street Tax Free Money Market Portfolio, the State Street Short-Term Tax Exempt Bond Portfolio, the State Street Treasury Money Market Portfolio, the State Street Treasury Plus Money Market Portfolio and the State Street U.S. Government Money Market Portfolio were in operation. The Portfolio is authorized to issue an unlimited number of non-transferable beneficial interests. The Portfolio's investment objective is to replicate, as closely as possible, before expenses, the performance of the Standard & Poor's 500 Composite Stock Price Index (the "S&P 500(R) Index"). The Portfolio uses a passive management strategy designed to track the performance of the S&P 500(R) Index. The S&P 500(R) Index is a well-known, unmanaged, stock index that includes common stocks of 500 companies from several industrial sectors representing a significant portion of the market value of all stocks publicly traded in the United States. There is no assurance that the Portfolio will achieve its objective. 2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES The following is a summary of the significant accounting policies consistently followed by the Portfolio in the preparation of its financial statements. Security valuation: The Portfolio's investments are valued each business day by independent pricing services. Equity securities for which market quotations are available are valued at the last sale price or official closing price (closing bid price if no sale has occurred) on the primary market or exchange on which they trade. Investments in other mutual funds are valued at the net asset value per share. Fixed-income securities and options are valued on the basis of the closing bid price. Futures contracts are valued on the basis of the last sale price. Money market instruments maturing within 60 days of the valuation date are valued at amortized cost, a method by which each money market instrument is initially valued at cost, and thereafter a constant accretion or amortization of any discount or premium is recorded until maturity of the security. The Portfolio may value securities for which market quotations are not readily available at "fair value," as determined in good faith pursuant to procedures established by the Board of Trustees. The Portfolio adopted Financial Accounting Standards Board Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157, Fair Value Measurements ("FAS 157"), effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007 and interim periods within those fiscal years. In accordance with FAS 157, fair value is defined as the price that the portfolio would receive upon selling an investment in a timely transaction to an independent buyer in the principal or most advantageous market of the investment. Various inputs are used in determining the value of the Fund's investments. FAS 157 established a three tier hierarchy of inputs to establish a classification of fair value measurements and disclosure. The three tier hierarchy of inputs is summarized below: - Level 1 - quoted prices in active markets for identical securities See notes to financial statements 33 STATE STREET EQUITY 500 INDEX PORTFOLIO NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS JUNE 30, 2008 (UNAUDITED) - 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 an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities. The following is a summary of the inputs used, as of June 30, 2008, in valuing the Fund's assets carried at fair value: INVESTMENTS IN OTHER FINANCIAL VALUATION INPUTS SECURITIES INSTRUMENTS* - ---------------- -------------- --------------- Level 1 - Quoted Prices $1,995,129,310 $(2,705,707) Level 2 - Other Significant Observable Inputs 39,674,039 -- Level 3 - Significant Unobservable Inputs -- -- -------------- ----------- TOTAL $2,034,803,349 $(2,705,707) ============== =========== * Other financial instruments include futures contracts. Securities transactions, investment income and expenses: Securities transactions are recorded on a trade date basis for financial statement purposes. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date. Interest income is recorded daily on the accrual basis and includes amortization of premium and accretion of discount on investments. Realized gains and losses from securities transactions are recorded on the basis of identified cost. Expenses are accrued daily based on average daily net assets. All of the net investment income and realized and unrealized gains and losses from the security transactions of the Portfolio are allocated pro rata among the partners in the Portfolio based on each partner's daily ownership percentage. Federal income taxes: The Portfolio is not required to pay federal income taxes on its net investment income and net capital gains because it is treated as a partnership for federal income tax purposes. All interest, dividends, gains and losses of the Portfolio are deemed to have been "passed through" to the Portfolio's partners in proportion to their holdings in the Portfolio, regardless of whether such items have been distributed by the Portfolio. Each partner is responsible for tax liability based on its distributive share; therefore, no provision has been made for federal income taxes. The Portfolio adopted the provisions of Financial Accounting Standards Board Interpretation No. 48 (FIN 48), "Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes", on June 29, 2007. As of and during the period ended June 30, 2008, the Portfolio did not have a liability for any unrecognized tax expenses. The Portfolio recognizes interest and penalties, if any, related to tax liabilities as income tax expense in the Statement of Operations. As of June 30, 2008, tax years 2004 through 2007 remain subject to examination by the portfolio's major tax jurisdictions, which include the United States of America and the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. Futures: The Portfolio may enter into financial futures contracts as part of its strategy to track the performance of the S&P 500(R) Index. Upon entering into a futures contract, the Portfolio is required to deposit with the broker cash or securities in an amount equal to a certain percentage of the contract amount. Variation margin payments are made or received by the Portfolio each day, depending on the daily fluctuations in the value of the underlying security or index, and are recorded for financial statement purposes as unrealized gains or See notes to financial statements 34 STATE STREET EQUITY 500 INDEX PORTFOLIO NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS JUNE 30, 2007 (UNAUDITED) losses by the Portfolio. The Portfolio recognizes a realized gain or loss when the contract is closed. The Portfolio voluntarily segregates securities in an amount equal to the outstanding value of the open futures contracts in accordance with Securities and Exchange Commission requirements. The primary risks associated with the use of futures contracts are an imperfect correlation between the change in market value of the securities held by the Portfolio and the prices of futures contracts and the possibility of an illiquid market. Use of Estimates: The Portfolio's financial statements are prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles that require the use of management estimates. Actual results could differ from those estimates. 3. SECURITIES TRANSACTIONS For the six months June 30, 2008, purchases and sales of investment securities, excluding short-term investments, futures contracts, and contributions in-kind and fair value of withdrawals, aggregated to $126,676,195 and $203,832,247, respectively. At June 30, 2008, the book cost of investments was $1,420,775,267 which approximates cost computed on a federal tax basis. The aggregate gross unrealized appreciation and gross unrealized depreciation was $761,630,535 and $147,602,453, respectively, resulting in net appreciation of $614,028,082 for all securities as computed on a federal income tax basis. The differences between book and tax cost amounts are primarily due to wash sale loss deferrals. 4. RELATED PARTY FEES AND TRANSACTIONS The Portfolio has entered into an investment advisory agreement with SSgA Funds Management, Inc. ("SSgA FM" or the "Adviser"), a subsidiary of State Street Corp. and an affiliate of State Street Bank and Trust Company ("State Street"), under which SSgA FM directs the investments of the Portfolio in accordance with its investment objective, policies, and limitations. The Trust has contracted with State Street to provide custody, administration and transfer agent services to the Portfolio. In compensation for SSgA FM's services as investment adviser and for State Street's services as administrator, custodian and transfer agent (and for assuming ordinary operating expenses of the Portfolio, including ordinary legal, audit and trustees expense), State Street receives a unitary fee, calculated daily, at the annual rate of 0.045% of the Portfolio's average daily net assets. Certain investments made by the Portfolio were made in securities affiliated with State Street and SSgA FM. Investments in State Street Corp., the holding company of State Street, were made according to its representative portion of the S&P 500(R) Index. The market value of this investment at June 30, 2008 is listed in the Portfolio of Investments. 5. TRUSTEES' FEES Pursuant to certain agreements with State Street and its affiliates, each Independent Trustee receives for his or her services a $30,000 retainer in addition to $2,500 for each in-person meeting and $500 for each telephonic meeting from State Street or its affiliates. 35 STATE STREET EQUITY 500 INDEX PORTFOLIO NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS JUNE 30, 2008 (UNAUDITED) 6. INDEMNIFICATIONS The Trust's organizational documents provide that its officers and trustees are indemnified against certain liabilities arising out of the performance of their duties to the Trust. In addition, both in some of its principal service contracts and in the normal course of its business, the Trust enters into contracts that provide indemnifications to other parties for certain types of losses or liabilities. The Trust's maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this could involve future claims against the Trust. Management does not expect any significant claims. 7. NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS In March 2008, the Financial Accounting Standards board ("FASB") issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 161, "Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities" ("SFAS 161"). SFAS 161 is effective for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after November 15, 2008. SFAS 161 requires enhanced disclosures about Funds' derivative and hedging activities. Management is currently evaluating the impact the adoption of SFAS 161 will have on the Funds' financial statement disclosures.

Various inputs are used in determining the fair value of investments, which are as follows: - Level 1 -- price quotations in active markets/exchanges for identical securities - Level 2 -- other observable inputs (including, but not limited to: quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the assets or liabilities (such as interest rates, yield curves, volatilities, prepayment speeds, loss severities, credit risks, and default rates) or other market-corroborated inputs) - Level 3 -- unobservable inputs based on the best information available in the circumstance, to the extent observable inputs are not available (including the Series' own assumption used 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.

SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES: Master Small Cap Index Series (the "Series"), a non-diversified management investment company, is part of Quantitative Master Series LLC (the "Master LLC"). The Master LLC is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "1940 Act"), and is organized as a Delaware limited liability company. The Limited Liability Company Agreement permits the Directors to issue non-transferable interests in the Master LLC, subject to certain limitations. The Series' financial statements are prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, which may require the use of management accruals and estimates. Actual results may differ from these estimates. The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by the Series: Valuation of Investments: Equity investments traded on a recognized securities exchange or the NASDAQ Global Market System are valued at the last reported sale price that day or the NASDAQ official closing price, if applicable. For equity investments traded on more than one exchange, the last reported sale price on the exchange where the stock is primarily traded is used. Equity investments traded on a recognized exchange for which there were no sales on that day are valued at the last available bid price. If no bid price is available the prior day's price will be used, unless it is determined that such prior day's price no longer reflects the fair value of the security. Investments in open-end investment companies are valued at net asset value each business day. Financial futures contracts traded on exchanges are valued at their last sale price. In the event that application of these methods of valuation results in a price for an investment which is deemed not to be representative of the market value of such investment, the investment will be valued by a method approved by the Board of Directors (the "Board") as reflecting fair value ("Fair Value Assets"). When determining the price for Fair Value Assets, the investment advisor and/or sub-advisor seeks to determine the price that the Series might reasonably expect to receive from the current sale of that asset in an arm's-length transaction. Fair value determinations shall be based upon all available factors that the investment advisor and/or sub-advisor deems relevant. The pricing of all Fair Value Assets is subsequently reported to the Board or a committee thereof. Derivative Financial Instruments: The Series may engage in various portfolio investment strategies to increase the return of the Series and to hedge, or protect, its exposure to interest rate movements and movements in the securities markets. Losses may arise if the value of the contract decreases due to an unfavorable change in the price of the underlying security, or if the counterparty does not perform under the contract. - Financial futures contracts -- The Series may purchase or sell financial futures contracts and options on such financial futures contracts. Financial futures contracts are contracts for delayed delivery of securities at a specific future date and at a specific price or yield. Upon entering into a contract, the Series deposits and maintains as collateral such initial margin as required by the exchange on which the transaction is effected. Pursuant to the contract, the Series agrees to receive from or pay to the broker an amount of cash equal to the daily fluctuation in value of the contract. Such receipts or payments are known as margin variation and are recognized by the Series as unrealized gains or losses. When the contract is closed, the Series records a realized gain or loss equal to the difference between the value of the contract at the time it was opened and the value at the time it was closed. Segregation: In cases in which the 1940 Act and the interpretive positions of the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") require that the Series segregates assets in connection with certain investments (e.g., futures), the Series will, consistent with certain interpretive letters issued by the SEC, designate on its books and records cash or other 47 MASTER SMALL CAP INDEX SERIES NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS JUNE 30, 2008 (UNAUDITED) liquid debt securities having a market value at least equal to the amount that would otherwise be required to be physically segregated. Investment Transactions and Investment Income: Investment transactions are recorded on the dates the transactions are entered into (the trade dates). Realized gains and losses on security transactions are determined on the identified cost basis. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend dates. Dividends from foreign securities where the ex-dividend date may have passed are subsequently recorded when the Series has determined the ex-dividend date. Interest income is recognized on the accrual basis. Securities lending: The Series may lend securities to financial institutions that provide cash or securities issued or guaranteed by the U.S. government as collateral, which will be maintained at all times in an amount equal to at least 100% of the current market value of the loaned securities. The market value of the loaned securities is determined at the close of business of the Series and any additional required collateral is delivered to the Series on the next business day. Where the Series receives securities as collateral for the loaned securities, it collects a fee from the borrower. The Series typically receives the income on the loaned securities but does not receive the income on the collateral. Where the Series receives cash collateral, it may invest such collateral and retain the amount earned on such investment, net of any amount rebated to the borrower. Loans of securities are terminable at any time and the borrower, after notice, is required to return borrowed securities within five business days. The Series may pay reasonable finder's, lending agent, administrative and custodial fees in connection with its loans. In the event that the borrower defaults on its obligation to return borrowed securities because of insolvency or for any other reason, the Series could experience delays and costs in gaining access to the collateral. The Series also could suffer a loss where the value of the collateral falls below the market value of the borrowed securities, in the event of borrower default or in the event of losses on investments made with cash collateral. Income Taxes: The Series is classified as a partnership for federal income tax purposes. As such, each investor in the Series is treated as owner of its proportionate shares of the net assets, income, expenses and realized and unrealized gains and losses of the Series. Therefore, no federal income tax provision is required. It is intended that the Master LLC's assets will be managed so an investor in the Master LLC can satisfy the requirements of Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code. Under the applicable foreign tax laws, a withholding tax may be imposed on interest dividend, and capital gains at various rates. The Series files U.S. federal and various state and local tax returns. No income tax returns are currently under examination. The statute of limitations on the Series' U.S. federal tax returns remains open for the years ended December 31, 2004 through December 31, 2006. The statutes of limitations on the Series' state and local tax returns may remain open for an additional year depending upon the jurisdiction. Recent Accounting Pronouncement: In March 2008, Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 161, "Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities -- an amendment of FASB Statement No. 133" ("FAS 161") was issued and is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2008. FAS 161 is intended to improve financial reporting for derivative instruments by requiring enhanced disclosure that enables investors to understand how and why an entity uses derivatives, how derivatives are accounted for, and how derivative instruments affect an entity's results of operations and financial position. The impact of the Series' financial statement disclosures, if any, is currently being assessed. 48 MASTER SMALL CAP INDEX SERIES NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS JUNE 30, 2008 (UNAUDITED) Other: Expenses directly related to the Series are charged to that Series. Other operating expenses shared by several funds are pro-rated among those funds on the basis of relative net assets or other appropriate methods. 2. INVESTMENT ADVISORY AGREEMENT AND OTHER TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES: The Master LLC, on behalf of the Series, has entered into an Investment Advisory Agreement with BlackRock Advisors, LLC (the "Advisor"), an indirect, wholly owned subsidiary of BlackRock, Inc., to provide investment advisory and administration services. Merrill Lynch & Co., Inc. ("Merrill Lynch") and The PNC Financial Services Group, Inc. are principal owners of BlackRock, Inc. The Advisor is responsible for the management of the Series' investments and provides the necessary personnel, facilities, equipment and certain other services necessary to the operations of the Series. For such services, the Series pays the Advisor a monthly fee at an annual rate of 0.01% of the average daily value of the Series' net assets. The Advisor has entered into a contractual arrangement with the Master LLC with respect to the Series under which the Advisor will waive its fees or reimburse expenses so that the total operating expenses incurred by the Series will not exceed 0.08% of the Series' average daily net assets. This arrangement has a one-year term and is renewable. This amount is shown on the Statement of Operations as fees waived by the Advisor. The Advisor has entered into a separate sub-advisory agreement with BlackRock Investment Management, LLC ("BIM"), an affiliate of the Advisor, under which the Advisor pays BIM, for services it provides, a monthly fee that is a percentage of the investment advisory fee paid by the Series to the Advisor. For the six months ended June 30, 2008, the Series reimbursed the Advisor $4,043 for certain accounting services, which is included in accounting services in the Statement of Operations. The Master LLC, on behalf of the Series, has received an exemptive order from the Securities and Exchange Commission permitting it to lend portfolio securities to Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith Incorporated ("MLPF&S"), a wholly owned subsidiary of Merrill Lynch, or its affiliates. As of June 30, 2008, the Series lent securities with a value of $2,416,233 to MLPF&S or its affiliates. Pursuant to that order, the Master LLC has retained BIM as the securities lending agent for a fee based on a share of the returns on investment of cash collateral. BIM may, on behalf of the Master LLC and the Series, invest cash collateral received by the Series for such loans, among other things, in a private investment company managed by the Advisor or in registered money market funds advised by the Advisor or its affiliates. For the six months ended June 30, 2008, BIM received $148,155 in securities lending agent fees. Pursuant to the terms of the custody agreement, custodian fees may be reduced by amounts calculated on uninvested cash balances ("custody credits"), which are shown on the Statement of Operations as fees paid indirectly. Certain officers and/or directors of the Master LLC are officers and/or directors of BlackRock, Inc. or its affiliates. 3. INVESTMENTS: Purchases and sales of investments, excluding short-term securities, for the six months ended June 30, 2008 were $174,555,892, and $215,406,565, respectively. 49 MASTER SMALL CAP INDEX SERIES NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS JUNE 30, 2008 (UNAUDITED) 4. SHORT-TERM BORROWINGS: The Master LLC, on behalf of the Series, along with certain other funds managed by the Advisor and its affiliates, is a party to a $500,000,000 credit agreement with a group of lenders. The Series may borrow under the credit agreement to fund shareholder redemptions and for other lawful purposes other than for leverage. The Series may borrow up to the maximum amount allowable under the Series' current prospectus and statement of additional information, subject to various other legal, regulatory or contractual limits. On November 21, 2007, the credit agreement was renewed for one year under substantially the same terms. The Series pays a commitment fee of 0.06% per annum based on the Series' pro rata share of the unused portion of the credit agreement, which is included in miscellaneous expenses in the Statement of Operations. Amounts borrowed under the credit agreement bear interest at a rate equal to, at each fund's election, the federal funds rate plus 0.35% or a base rate as defined in the credit agreement. The Series did not borrow under the credit agreement during the six months ended June 30, 2008. 50 MASTER INTERNATIONAL INDEX SERIES SUMMARY SCHEDULE OF INVESTMENTS JUNE 30, 2008 (UNAUDITED) This summary schedule of investments is presented to help investors focus on the Series' principal holdings.

FAS 157 clarifies the definition of fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair values and requires additional disclosures about the use of fair value measurements. Various inputs are used in determining the fair value of investments, which are as follows: - Level 1 -- price quotations in active markets/exchanges for identical securities - Level 2 -- other observable inputs (including, but not limited to: quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the assets or liabilities (such as interest rates, yield curves, volatilities, prepayment speeds, loss severities, credit risks, and default rates) or other market-corroborated inputs) - Level 3 -- unobservable inputs based on the best information available in the circumstance, to the extent observable inputs are not available (including the Series' own assumption used 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. For information about the Series' policy regarding valuation of investments and other significant accounting policies, please refer to Note 1 of the Notes to Financial Statements. The following table summarizes the inputs used as of June 30, 2008 in determining the fair valuation of the Series' investments: INVESTMENTS IN OTHER FINANCIAL VALUATION INPUTS SECURITIES INSTRUMENTS* - ---------------- -------------- --------------- Level 1 ........ $ 41,426,133 $(765,944) Level 2 ........ 1,034,077,783 207,107 Level 3 ........ -- -- -------------- --------- TOTAL .......... $1,075,503,916 $(588,837) ============== ========= * Other financial instruments are futures and forward foreign currency contracts.

SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES Master International Index Series (the "Series"), a non-diversified management investment company, is part of Quantitative Master Series LLC (the "Master LLC"). The Master LLC is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "1940 Act"), and is organized as a Delaware limited liability company. The Master LLC's Limited Liability Company Agreement permits the Directors to issue non-transferable interests in the Series subject to certain limitations. The Series' financial statements are prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, which may require the use of management accruals and estimates. Actual results may differ from these estimates. (a) Valuation of investments Equity investments traded on a recognized securities exchange or the NASDAQ Global Market System are valued at the last reported sale price that day or the NASDAQ official closing price, if applicable. For equity investments traded on more than one exchange, the last reported sale price on the exchange where the stock is primarily traded is used. Equity investments traded on a recognized exchange for which there were no sales on that day are valued at the last available bid price. If no bid price is available, the prior day's price will be used, unless it is determined that such prior day's price no longer reflects the fair value of the security. Financial futures contracts traded on exchanges are valued at their last sale price. Investments in open-end investment companies are valued at net asset value each business day. Short-term securities are valued at amortized cost. In the event that application of these methods of valuation results in a price for an investment which is deemed not to be representative of the market value of such investment, the investment will be valued by a method approved by the Board of Directors (the "Board") as reflecting fair value ("Fair Value Assets"). When determining the price for Fair Value Assets, the investment advisor and/or sub-advisor seeks to determine the price that the Series might reasonably expect to receive from the current sale of that asset in an arm's-length transaction. Fair value determinations shall be based upon all available factors that the investment advisor and/or sub-advisor deems relevant. The pricing of all Fair Value Assets is subsequently reported to the Board or a committee thereof. Generally, trading in foreign securities is substantially completed each day at various times prior to the close of business on the New York Stock Exchange ("NYSE"). The values of such securities used in computing the net assets of the Series are determined as of such times. Foreign currency exchange rates will be determined as of the close of business on the NYSE. Occasionally, events affecting the values of such securities and such exchange rates may occur between the times at which they are determined and the close of business on the NYSE that may not be reflected in the computation of the Series' net assets. If events (for example, a company announcement, market volatility or a natural disaster) occur during such periods that are expected to materially affect the value of such securities, those securities will be valued at their fair value as determined in good faith by the Board or by the investment advisor using a pricing service and/or procedures approved by the Board. (b) Derivative financial instruments The Series may engage in various portfolio investment strategies to increase the return of the Series and to hedge, or protect, its exposure to interest rate movements and movements in the securities markets. Losses may arise if the value of the contract decreases due to an unfavorable change in the price of the underlying security or if the counterparty does not perform under the contract. - Forward foreign currency contracts -- The Series may enter into forward foreign currency contracts as a hedge against either specific transactions or portfolio positions. Forward currency contracts, when used by the Series, help to manage the overall exposure to the foreign currency backing some of the investments held by the Series. The contract is marked-to-market daily and the change in market value is recorded by the Series as an unrealized gain or loss. When the contract is closed, the Series records a realized gain or loss equal to the difference between the value at the time it was opened and the value at the time it was closed. 59 MASTER INTERNATIONAL INDEX SERIES NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS JUNE 30, 2008 (UNAUDITED) - Financial futures contracts -- The Series may purchase or sell financial futures contracts and options on such futures contracts. Futures contracts are contracts for delayed delivery of securities at a specific future date and at a specific price or yield. Upon entering into a contract, the Series deposits, and maintains as collateral, such initial margin as required by the exchange on which the transaction is effected. Pursuant to the contract, the Series agrees to receive from, or pay to, the broker an amount of cash equal to the daily fluctuation in value of the contract. Such receipts or payments are known as margin variation and are recorded by the Series as unrealized gains or losses. When the contract is closed, the Series records a realized gain or loss equal to the difference between the value of the contract at the time it was opened and the value at the time it was closed. - Foreign currency options and futures -- The Series may also purchase or sell listed or over-the-counter foreign currency options, foreign currency futures and related options on foreign currency futures as a short or long hedges against possible variations in foreign exchange rates. Such transactions may be effected with respect to hedges on non-U.S. dollar-denominated securities owned by the Series, sold by the Series but not yet delivered, or committed or anticipated to be purchased by the Series. (c) Foreign currency transactions Foreign currency amounts are translated into United States dollars on the following basis: (i) market value of investment securities, assets and liabilities at the current rate of exchange; and (ii) purchases and sales of investment securities, income and expenses at the rates of exchange prevailing on the respective dates of such transactions. The Series reports foreign currency related transactions as components of realized gains for financial reporting purposes, whereas such components are treated as ordinary income for federal income tax purposes. (d) Preferred stock The Series may invest in preferred stocks. Preferred stock has a preference over common stock in liquidation (and generally in receiving dividends as well) but is subordinated to the liabilities of the issuer in all respects. As a general rule, the market value of preferred stock with a fixed dividend rate and no conversion element varies inversely with interest rates and perceived credit risk, while the market price of convertible preferred stock generally also reflects some element of conversion value. Because preferred stock is junior to debt securities and other obligations of the issuer, deterioration in the credit quality of the issuer will cause greater changes in the value of a preferred stock than in a more senior debt security with similar stated yield characteristics. Unlike interest payments on debt securities, preferred stock dividends are payable only if declared by the issuer's board of directors. Preferred stock also may be subject to optional or mandatory redemption provisions. (e) Segregation In cases in which the 1940 Act and the interpretive positions of the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") require that the Series segregates assets in connection with certain investments (e.g., futures), the Series will, consistent with certain interpretive letters issued by the SEC, designate on its books and records cash or other liquid debt securities having a market value at least equal to the amount that would otherwise be required to be physically segregated. (f) Investment transactions and investment income Investment transactions are recorded on the dates the transactions are entered into (the trade dates). Realized gains and losses on security transactions are determined on the identified cost basis. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend dates. Dividends from foreign securities where the ex-dividend date may have passed are subsequently recorded when the Series has determined the ex-dividend date. Interest income is recognized on the accrual basis. 60 MASTER INTERNATIONAL INDEX SERIES NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS JUNE 30, 2008 (UNAUDITED) (g) Dividends and distributions Dividends and distributions paid by the Series are recorded on the ex-dividend dates. (h) Income taxes The Series is classified as a partnership for federal income tax purposes. As such, each investor in the Series is treated as owner of its proportionate share of the net assets, income, expenses and realized and unrealized gains and losses of the Series. Therefore, no federal income tax provision is required. Under the applicable foreign tax law, a withholding tax may be imposed on interest, dividends and capital gains at various rates. It is intended that the Series' assets will be managed so an investor in the Series can satisfy the requirements of Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code. The Series files U.S. federal and various state and local tax returns. No income tax returns are currently under examination. The statute of limitations on the Series' U.S. federal tax returns remains open for the years ended December 31, 2004 through December 31, 2006. The statutes of limitations on the Series' state and local tax returns may remain open for an additional year depending upon the jurisdiction. (i) Recent accounting pronouncement Recent Accounting Pronouncement: In March 2008, Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 161, "Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities -- an amendment of FASB Statement No. 133" ("FAS 161"), was issued and is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2008. FAS 161 is intended to improve financial reporting for derivative instruments by requiring enhanced disclosure that enables investors to understand how and why an entity uses derivatives, how derivatives are accounted for, and how derivative instruments affect an entity's results of operations and financial position. The impact on the Series financial statement disclosures, if any, is currently being assessed. 2. INVESTMENT ADVISORY AGREEMENT AND TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES: The Master LLC, on behalf of the Series, entered into an Investment Advisory Agreement with BlackRock Advisors, LLC (the "Advisor"), an indirect, wholly owned subsidiary of BlackRock, Inc., to provide investment advisory and administration services. Merrill Lynch & Co., Inc. ("Merrill Lynch") and The PNC Financial Services Group, Inc. ("PNC") are principal owners of BlackRock, Inc. The Advisor is responsible for the management of the Series' portfolio and provides the necessary personnel, facilities, equipment and certain other services necessary to the operations of the Series. For such services, the Series pays the Advisor a monthly fee at an annual rate of 0.01% of the average daily value of the Series' net assets. The Advisor has entered into a contractual arrangement with the Master LLC with respect to the Series under which the Advisor will waive its fees or reimburse expenses so that the total operating expenses incurred by the Series will not exceed 0.12% of the Series' average daily net assets. This arrangement has a one-year term and is renewable. This amount is shown on the Statement of Operations as fees waived by the advisor. The Advisor has entered into a sub-advisory agreement with BlackRock Investment Management, LLC ("BIM"), an affiliate of the Advisor, under which the Advisor pays BIM, for services it provides, a monthly fee that is equal to a percentage of the investment advisory fee paid by the Series to the Advisor. For the six months ended June 30, 2008, the Series reimbursed the Advisor $7,617 for certain accounting services, which is included in accounting services in the Statement of Operations. In addition, Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith Incorporated ("MLPF&S"), a wholly owned subsidiary of Merrill Lynch, received $25,149 in commissions on the execution of portfolio security transactions for the Series for the six months ended June 30, 2008. 61 MASTER INTERNATIONAL INDEX SERIES NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS JUNE 30, 2008 (UNAUDITED) Certain officers and/or directors of the Master LLC are officers and/or directors of BlackRock, Inc. or its affiliates. 3. INVESTMENTS: Purchases and sales of investments, excluding short-term securities, for the six months ended June 30, 2008 were $283,039,338 and $168,644,084, respectively. 4. SHORT-TERM BORROWINGS: The Master LLC, on behalf of the Series, along with certain other funds managed by the Advisor and its affiliates, is a party to a $500,000,000 credit agreement with a group of lenders. The Series may borrow under the credit agreement to fund shareholder redemptions and for other lawful purposes other than for leverage. The Series may borrow up to the maximum amount allowable under the Series' current Prospectus and Statement of Additional Information, subject to various other legal, regulatory or contractual limits. On November 21, 2007, the credit agreement was renewed for one year under substantially the same terms. The Series pays a commitment fee of 0.06% per annum based on the Series' pro rata share of the unused portion of the credit agreement, which is included in miscellaneous in the Statement of Operations. Amounts borrowed under the credit agreement bear interest at a rate equal to, at each fund's election, the federal funds rate plus 0.35% or a base rate as defined in the credit agreement. The Series did not borrow under the credit agreement during the six months ended June 30, 2008. 5. COMMITMENTS: At June 30, 2008, the Series had entered into foreign exchange contracts, in addition to the contracts listed on the Schedule of Investments, under which it had agreed to buy various foreign securities with approximate values of $52,000. 62 DISCLOSURE REGARDING THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES' APPROVAL OF THE MANAGEMENT AGREEMENT OF THE FUNDS (UNAUDITED) At its May 21, 2008 meeting, the Board of Trustees ("Board" or "Trustees") considered the renewal of the existing Management Agreement (the "Current Agreement") between the Manager and the American Beacon Funds (collectively, the "Funds"). In preparation for the Board's consideration to renew the Current Agreement, the Board and its Investment Committee undertook steps to gather and consider information furnished by the Manager and Lipper, Inc. ("Lipper"). The Board, with the assistance of independent legal counsel, requested and received certain relevant information from the Manager. In addition, the Board's Investment Committee worked with Lipper to obtain relevant comparative information regarding the performance, fees and expenses of the Funds. The Investment Committee held a separate meeting on May 9, 2008 to consider the information provided by Lipper. Further, the Board took into consideration information furnished for the Board's review and consideration throughout the year at regular Board and Investment Committee meetings, as well as information specifically prepared in connection with the renewal process. On May 21, May 22 and June 4, 2008, the Board met to determine, among other matters, whether to approve a new investment management agreement ("New Agreement") between the Manager and the Funds. The New Agreement is necessary because, on April 16, 2008, AMR Corporation ("AMR"), the parent company of the Manager, entered into an agreement with Lighthouse Holdings, Inc. ("Lighthouse") pursuant to which Lighthouse will acquire all of the capital stock of the Manager ("Transaction") in exchange for cash and 10% of the capital stock of the parent corporation of Lighthouse. Upon the closing of the Transaction ("Closing"), the Manager will cease to be a wholly owned subsidiary of AMR and will become a subsidiary of Lighthouse. This change in control is deemed to be an "assignment" under the Investment Company Act of 1940 ("1940 Act") of the Funds' Current Agreement with the Manager. As required by the 1940 Act, the Funds' Current Agreement provides for its automatic termination in the event of an assignment, and it will, therefore, terminate upon the Closing. To provide for the continuity of management for the Funds, the Board met to consider the New Agreement with the Manager. The New Agreement for each Fund will reflect substantially the same terms as the Current Agreement for each Fund. In addition, the Current Agreement has been updated and modernized. As part of this process, the primary administrative services provided by the Manager to the Funds will be transferred to one single administrative services agreement ("New Administrative Services Agreement"). The aggregate fee rates for each Fund under the New Agreement and the New Administrative Services Agreement will be the same as the fee rates imposed under the Current Agreement and the Administrative Services Agreement between the Funds and the Manager (the "Current Administrative Services Agreement"). The New Agreement is subject to shareholder approval. If approved by the shareholders of the Funds, the New Agreement will become effective upon the Closing or, if the Closing is not consummated, the New Agreement will become effective on or about January 1, 2009. The Manager and Lighthouse anticipate that the Closing will occur in the third calendar quarter of 2008. Upon the Closing, Lighthouse directly will control the Manager. Lighthouse currently does not anticipate any changes to the organization or structure of the Funds, to the service providers or to the aggregate fee rates under the Current Agreement. In addition, the portfolio managers at the Manager that currently manage the Funds are expected to continue to manage the Funds after the Closing. In that regard, the Manager and Lighthouse have entered into or will enter into employment contracts that will take effect upon the Closing with certain key personnel performing or overseeing the Funds' investment programs. However, there can be no assurance that these personnel will choose to remain employed by the Manager before or after the Closing. The Manager and the Funds will continue to operate under their existing names. Potential benefits to the Funds as a result of the Transaction include Lighthouse's intention to devote additional resources to product development and distribution of Fund shares. Any resulting growth of Fund assets may produce economies of scale that could benefit shareholders of the Funds. In addition, under the Current Agreement, the Manager may retain subadvisors to provide investment advisory services for all or a portion of the assets of a Fund. Pursuant to an exemptive order issued by the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"), the Manager is permitted to enter into new or modified 63 DISCLOSURE REGARDING THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES' APPROVAL OF THE MANAGEMENT AGREEMENT OF THE FUNDS (UNAUDITED) investment advisory agreements with existing or new subadvisors ("New Investment Advisory Agreements") without approval of a Fund's shareholders, but subject to the approval of a Fund's Board. In preparation for the Board's consideration to approve the New Agreement, the Board held preliminary conference call meetings on April 15, 16 and 21, 2008, to discuss the New Agreement and the effect that approving the New Agreement and would have on the Funds. The Board, with the assistance of independent legal counsel, received a memorandum and related advice from their legal counsel detailing the Board's responsibilities in considering the New Agreement. In connection with Board's consideration of the Current Agreement and New Agreement, the Trustees considered, among other materials, responses by the Manager to inquiries requesting: - a description of the Transaction, the effects of the Transaction on the Funds and the Board, and any proposed changes to the Funds, their service providers or fee structure and other information; - a description of any significant changes (actual or anticipated) to principal activities, personnel, services provided to the Funds, or any other area, including how these changes might affect the Funds; - a copy of the firm's Form ADV registration statement with the SEC; - a summary of any material past, pending or anticipated litigation or regulatory proceedings involving the firm or its personnel, including the results of any recent regulatory examination or independent audit; - a profit/loss analysis of the firm and any actual or anticipated economies of scale in relation to the services it provides to each Fund; - a description of any payments by the firm to support the Funds' marketing efforts; - an analysis of compensation, including a comparison with fees charged to other clients for which similar services are provided, any proposed changes to the fee schedule and the effect of any fee waivers; - an evaluation of other benefits to the firm or Funds as a result of their relationship, if any; - confirmation that the firm's financial condition does not raise concerns that the firm would be unable to continue providing the same scope and quality of services to the Funds; - a description of the scope of portfolio management services provided to the Funds and the firm's other clients, including other registered investment companies, whether such services differ, and any advantages or disadvantages that might accrue to the Funds due to the firm's involvement in other activities; - a description of the personnel who are assigned primary responsibility for managing the Funds, including any changes during the past year, and a discussion of the adequacy of current and projected staffing levels to service the Funds; - a description of the basis upon which portfolio managers are compensated, including any "incentive" arrangements; - a discussion regarding the firm's participation in "soft dollar" arrangements, if any, or other brokerage allocation policies with respect to Fund transactions, including the firm's methodology for obtaining the most favorable execution and the use of any affiliated broker-dealers; - a discussion of whether the firm receives, with respect to the Funds, other compensation, including any payment for order flow or ECN liquidity rebates; - a description of any actual or potential conflicts of interest anticipated in managing Fund assets; - a summary of any material changes to the firm's compliance program with regard to federal, state, corporate and Fund requirements and a certification regarding the reasonable design of the compliance program; - a discussion of any material compliance problems and remedial actions; - information regarding the firm's code of ethics, insider trading policy and disaster recovery plan, including a description of any material changes thereto; - a description of the firm's affiliation with any broker-dealer; - a discussion of any anticipated change in the firm's controlling persons; - verification of the firm's insurance coverage with regard to the services provided to the Funds; 64 DISCLOSURE REGARDING THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES' APPROVAL OF THE MANAGEMENT AGREEMENT OF THE FUNDS (UNAUDITED) - a comparison of the performance of each Fund to comparable investment companies and appropriate indices, including comments on the relative performance of each Fund versus the respective peer group average; - a discussion, if applicable, of any underperformance by a Fund relative to its peer group and what, if any, remedial measures the Manager has or intends to take; - a comparison of advisory fees and expense ratios for comparable mutual funds; - an analysis of any material complaints received from Fund shareholders; - a description of the Manager's securities lending practices and the fees received from such practices; - a description of any revenue sharing activities with respect to the Funds; - a discussion of any rebate arrangements between the Manager and a service provider to the Funds pursuant to which the Manager receives direct or indirect benefits from the service provider; - a description of the portfolio turnover rate and average execution costs for each Fund; and - a description of how expenses that are not readily identifiable to a particular Fund are allocated. In connection with the Current Agreement and New Agreement, the Board also obtained an analysis provided by Lipper that compared: (i) investment performance of each Fund versus comparable investment companies and appropriate indices; (ii) total Fund expenses of each Fund versus comparable mutual funds, and (iii) each Fund's investment advisory fees versus comparable mutual funds. For each Fund with more than one class of shares, the class of shares used for comparative purposes was the class with the longest performance history, which in most cases was the Institutional Class. References below to each Fund's Lipper peer group are to the group of comparable mutual funds included in the analysis provided by Lipper. The Current Agreement and New Agreement are each referenced to herein as an "Agreement" and collectively, the "Agreements." The Trustees also received memoranda from their legal counsel detailing the Board's responsibilities pertaining to the approval of each Agreement. These memoranda explained the regulatory requirements surrounding the Trustees' process for evaluating investment advisors and the terms of the contracts. In connection with the Board's consideration of the New Agreement, the Trustees considered, among other information, the following factors, in addition to other factors noted in the Proxy Statement: (1) The manner in which each Fund's assets are managed will not change as a result of the Transaction, and the same people who currently manage the Fund's assets are expected to continue to do so after the Transaction; (2) The aggregate fee rates payable by each Fund under the New Agreement and the New Administrative Services Agreement are the same as the fee rates payable under the Current Agreement and the Current Administrative Services Agreement; (3) The material terms regarding advisory services pursuant to the New Agreement are substantially the same as the terms of the Current Agreement; (4) The qualifications of the Manager's personnel who will provide advisory and administrative services to the Funds are not expected to change; (5) The Manager's financial condition and the post-Closing capitalization of Lighthouse; (6) The impact of the Transaction on the Manager's day-to-day operations; (7) The capabilities, experience, corporate structure and capital resources of Lighthouse; (8) The long-term business goals of Lighthouse with regard to the Manager and the Trusts; (9) Fund shareholders will not bear any costs in connection with the Transaction, inasmuch as AMR and Lighthouse will bear equally the costs, fees and expenses incurred by the Funds in connection with the Proxy Statement, the fees and expenses of accountants and attorneys relating to the Transaction and 65 DISCLOSURE REGARDING THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES' APPROVAL OF THE MANAGEMENT AGREEMENT OF THE FUNDS (UNAUDITED) Proxy Statement, the fees and expenses incurred by the Funds in connection with the Transaction, and the meeting fees of the Boards for meetings held in connection with the Transaction; (10) The Funds may realize benefits as a result of the Transaction, including long-term economies of scale; and (11) The potential for increased costs to the Funds in order to satisfy existing obligations under the current Trustees' retirement plan. Provided below is an overview of the other primary factors the Board considered at its May 21, May 22 and June 4, 2008 meetings. The Board did not identify any particular information that was most relevant to its consideration to renew the Current Agreement and approve the New Agreement, and each Trustee may have afforded different weight to the various factors. Legal counsel to the Non-interested Trustees provided the Board with memoranda regarding its responsibilities pertaining to the renewal of the Current Agreement and approval of the New Agreement. Based on its evaluation, the Board unanimously concluded that the terms of the Current Agreement were reasonable and fair and that the renewal of each Current Agreement was in the best interests of each Fund and its shareholders. The Board also unanimously concluded that the terms of the New Agreement were reasonable and fair and that the approval of the New Agreement was in the best interests of each Fund and its shareholders. CONSIDERATIONS WITH RESPECT TO ALL FUNDS In determining whether to renew the Current Agreement and approve the New Agreement, the Trustees considered the best interests of each Fund separately. While the Current Agreement for all of the Funds was considered at the Board meetings on May 21, 2008, and the New Agreement for all of the Funds was considered at the meetings on May 21, May 22 and June 4, 2008, the Board considered each Fund's investment management relationships separately. In each instance, the Board considered, among other things, the following factors: (1) the nature and quality of the services provided; (2) the investment performance of a Fund; (3) the costs incurred by the Manager in rendering its services and its resulting profits or losses; (4) the extent to which economies of scale have been taken into account in setting each fee schedule; (5) whether fee levels reflect these economies of scale for the benefit of Fund investors; (6) comparisons of services and fees with contracts entered into by the Manager with other clients (such as pension funds and other institutional funds); and (7) any other benefits derived or anticipated to be derived by the Manager from its relationship with a Fund. The Trustees posed questions to various management personnel of the Manager and Lighthouse regarding certain key aspects of the materials submitted in support of the renewal. Nature, Extent and Quality of Services. With respect to the renewal of each Fund's Current Agreement and the approval of each Fund's New Agreement, the Board considered: the background and experience of key investment personnel and the Manager's ability to retain them; the Manager's disciplined investment approach and goal to provide consistent above average long-term performance at a low cost; the Manager's continuing efforts to add new series and share classes to enhance the Funds' product line; the Manager's record in building improved compliance, control and credit functions that reduce risks to the Funds; the addition of personnel to manage the Funds, promote sales and improve services, including the addition of a separate new information technology (IT) department at the Manager; the high rankings received by the Funds in service surveys; and the active role played by the Manager in monitoring and, as appropriate, recommending replacements for the master portfolios. Based on the foregoing information, the Board concluded that the nature, extent and quality of the management and advisory services provided by the Manager were appropriate for each Fund and, thus, determined to renew the Current Agreement and approve the New Agreement for each Fund. Investment Performance. The Board evaluated the comparative information provided by Lipper and the Manager regarding each Fund's investment performance relative to its benchmark index(es) and peer group. The Board considered the information provided by Lipper regarding its independent peer selection methodology to select all peer groups and universes. The Board also considered the performance reports and 66 DISCLOSURE REGARDING THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES' APPROVAL OF THE MANAGEMENT AGREEMENT OF THE FUNDS (UNAUDITED) discussions with management at Board and Committee meetings throughout the year. A discussion regarding the Board's considerations with respect to each Fund's performance appears below under "Additional Considerations and Conclusions with Respect to Each Fund." Costs of the Services to be Provided to the Funds and the Projected Profits to be Realized by the Manager from its Relationship with the Funds. In analyzing the cost of services and profitability of the Manager by Fund, the Board considered the revenues earned and the expenses incurred by the Manager. The profits or losses were noted at both an individual Fund level and at an aggregate level for all Funds. The Board also considered that the Current and New Agreements for the Funds stipulate that, to the extent that a Fund invests all of its investable assets in another registered investment company (i.e., is a Feeder Fund), the Fund will not pay the Manager a management fee. The index series of the Funds operate under a master-feeder structure, but each of these series invests in a master portfolio that is not managed by the Manager. As such, the Board considered that the Manager does not receive a management fee with respect to the International Equity Index, S&P 500 Index, or Small Cap Index Funds. The Board also noted that the Manager proposed to continue the expense waivers and reimbursements for certain Funds and classes that were in place during the last fiscal year. The Board considered that the Manager receives service and administrative fees to compensate the Manager for providing administrative services to the Funds and to compensate third-party administrators and broker-dealers for services to Fund shareholders. The Board also noted that certain classes of the Funds maintain higher expense ratios in order to compensate third-party distributors. Based on the foregoing information, the Board concluded that the profitability levels were reasonable in light of the services performed by the Manager. A discussion regarding the Board's considerations with respect to each Fund's fee rates is set forth below under "Additional Considerations and Conclusions with Respect to Each Fund." Economies of Scale. In considering the reasonableness of the management fees, the Board considered whether economies of scale will be realized as the Funds grow and whether fee levels reflect these economies of scale for the benefit of Fund shareholders. The Board noted that certain Funds have grown their shareholder base, which has spread fixed costs over a larger shareholder and asset base. The Board also considered the Manager's representations that its costs have increased due primarily to greater service provider and regulatory costs. The Manager also represented that it anticipates further economies of scale would be largely offset by higher costs of adding and retaining qualified personnel, improving technology and increasing demands on its advisory business. Based on the foregoing information, the Board concluded that the Manager fee schedules for each Fund provides for a reasonable sharing of benefits from any economies of scale with the Funds. Benefits Derived from the Relationship with the Funds. The Board considered the "fall-out" or ancillary benefits that accrue to the Manager as a result of the advisory relationships with the Funds, including greater exposure in the marketplace with respect to the Manager's investment process and expanding the level of assets under management by the Manager. In addition, the Board noted that the Manager provides services to the Funds at a relatively low cost. In this regard, the Board considered that the benefit plans of AMR have invested substantial assets in the Funds, which helps reduce costs for other Fund shareholders, just as the investment of other Fund shareholders helps to reduce costs for AMR's benefit plans. Based on the foregoing information, the Board concluded that the potential benefits accruing to the Manager by virtue of its relationships with the Funds appear to be fair and reasonable. 67 DISCLOSURE REGARDING THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES' APPROVAL OF THE MANAGEMENT AGREEMENT OF THE FUNDS (UNAUDITED) ADDITIONAL CONSIDERATIONS AND CONCLUSIONS WITH RESPECT TO EACH FUND The performance comparisons below were made versus each Fund's Lipper peer universe median. References to the Lipper expense group below are to the group of comparable mutual funds included in the analysis provided to the Trustees by Lipper, Inc. ADDITIONAL CONSIDERATIONS AND CONCLUSIONS WITH RESPECT TO THE S&P 500 INDEX FUND In considering the renewal of the Current Agreement and the approval of the New Agreement, the Trustees considered the following additional factors: (1) the Fund's master portfolio outperformed the peer universe median for the one-, three-, five- and ten-year periods ended March 31, 2008 and (2) the Fund's expense ratio was lower than its Lipper expense group median. Based on these and other considerations, the Trustees concluded that the fees paid to the Manager under the Agreements are fair and reasonable, determined that the S&P 500 Index Fund and its shareholders would benefit from the Manager's continued management of the Fund, approved the renewal of the Current Agreement and approved the New Agreement with respect to the S&P 500 Index Fund. ADDITIONAL CONSIDERATIONS AND CONCLUSIONS WITH RESPECT TO THE SMALL CAP INDEX FUND In considering the renewal of the Current Agreement and the approval of the New Agreement, the Trustees considered the following additional factors: (1) the Fund's master portfolio outperformed the peer universe median for the one-, three- and five-year periods ended March 31, 2008 and (2) the Fund's expense ratio was lower than its Lipper expense group median. Based on these and other considerations, the Trustees concluded that the fees paid to the Manager under the Agreements are fair and reasonable, determined that the Small Cap Index Fund and its shareholders would benefit from the Manager's continued management of the Fund, approved the renewal of the Current Agreement and approved the New Agreement with respect to the Small Cap Index Fund. ADDITIONAL CONSIDERATIONS AND CONCLUSIONS WITH RESPECT TO THE INTERNATIONAL EQUITY INDEX FUND In considering the renewal of the Current Agreement and approval of the New Agreement, the Trustees considered the following additional factors: (1) the performance of the Fund's master portfolio underperformed its peer universe median for the one-year period but outperformed for the three- and five-year periods ended March 31, 2008 and (2) the Fund's expense ratio was lower than the Lipper expense group median. Based on these and other considerations, the Trustees concluded that the fees paid to the Manager under the Agreements are fair and reasonable, determined that the International Equity Index Fund and its shareholders would benefit from the Manager's continued management of the Fund, approved the renewal of the Current Agreement and approved the New Agreement with respect to the International Equity Index Fund. 68 This page intentionally left blank. 69 (AMERICAN BEACON FUNDS(SM) LOGO) DELIVERY OF DOCUMENTS To reduce expenses, your financial institution may mail only one copy of the Prospectus, Annual Report and Semi-Annual Report to those addresses shared by two or more accounts.

QUINN) Fellow Shareholders, I am pleased to present to you the Semi-Annual Report for the American Beacon Treasury Inflation Protected Securities Fund for the six months ended June 30, 2008. The Institutional Class of the Fund reported a total return of 5.80% for this six-month period with an expense ratio of 43 basis points (0.43%) for its most recent fiscal year. The Fund outperformed the Lipper TIPS Index return by 143 basis points (1.43%). During the period, the sub-prime mortgage crisis continued to cause uncertainties surrounding banks, investment banks and the entire financial system, resulting in an extraordinary amount of volatility. The Federal Reserve ("Fed") was challenged to fulfill its dual mandate of balancing the risks to both growth and inflation. Inflation concerns were mounting, but weak economic growth and turmoil in the financial markets limited the Fed's ability to raise interest rates in the near term to strengthen the U.S. dollar and counter inflation. We feel the Funds' strategy of inflation protection combined with lower than average expense ratios will continue to benefit the Fund's yield while protecting the Fund's liquidity for the long term. Please review the enclosed market overview, portfolio listings and detailed financial data. As always, we welcome the opportunity to serve your financial needs. To obtain further details about the American Beacon Funds family or to access your account information, please visit our website at www.americanbeaconfunds.com. Thank you for your continued confidence in the Fund. Sincerely, /s/ William F. Quinn William F. Quinn President American Beacon Funds Investing in debt securities entails interest rate risk which is the risk that debt securities will decrease in value with increases in market interest rates. 1 MARKET OVERVIEW JUNE 30, 2008 (UNAUDITED) The three-fold predicament of financial market stress, below-trend economic growth, and higher-than-desired inflation put official policymakers in a difficult spot in the first half of 2008. This predicament also led to as turbulent a fixed income market environment as has been seen in recent memory. Over the first half of 2008, the Treasury yield curve steepened as short rates declined while long rates rose, while securities linked with seemingly any kind of credit - corporate, mortgage, consumer receivable, and even municipal - performed poorly. Market liquidity deteriorated, underwriting standards tightened, and banks and broker dealers took massive writedowns. In the first half of 2008, monetary and fiscal policymakers lowered official interest rates, passed fiscal stimulus measures, engineered a buyout of Bear Stearns, and instituted new liquidity mechanisms for market participants. Inflation as measured by the Consumer Price Index ("CPI") is higher than policymakers want. Sharp increases in the price of crude oil (the crude oil futures contract traded at $96 per barrel at the end of December 2007, and $140 per barrel at the end of June 2008), as well as increases in the prices of food and other commodities, suggested that unwanted price pressures remained. For example, in June, the CPI increased at a 5.0% year-over-year pace, while the CPI excluding energy increased at a 2.4% year-over-year pace. Federal Reserve Board officials have repeatedly expressed a desire for "Core" CPI to be in the 1% to 2% annual range. Declining real Treasury interest rates and higher-than-expected CPI readings contributed to strong positive total returns for Treasury Inflation Protected Securities ("TIPS") in the first half of 2008. Over this period, the Lehman Brothers U. S. TIPS Index returned 4.88%, while Lehman's Intermediate (1-10 year maturity) TIPS Index returned 5.94%. Inflation expectations as evidenced by breakeven inflation rates (the spread between similar maturity nominal and inflation-protected securities) ranged approximately 39 basis points (0.39%) from high to low in the first two quarters of 2008. In early March, breakevens reached their high for the period, at 2.62%, while in late January they bottomed, at 2.23%. On June 30, 10-year breakevens were approximately 2.57%. The U.S. Treasury continues to be committed to the TIPS market, with $30 billion of new supply auctioned in the first half of 2008. At year-end 2007, the total outstanding market value of TIPS was approximately $500 billion. 2 PERFORMANCE OVERVIEW AMERICAN BEACON TREASURY INFLATION PROTECTED SECURITIES FUND(SM) JUNE 30, 2008 (UNAUDITED) The Institutional Class of the Fund returned 5.80% for the period from January 1, 2008 through June 30, 2008, trailing the Lehman Brothers 1-10 Yr U.S. TIPS Index (the "Index") return of 5.94%. The Fund outperformed the Lipper TIPS Index return of 4.37% for the same time period.

Investment returns and principal value will vary, and shares may be worth more or less at redemption than at original purchase. Performance shown is as of date indicated, and current performance may be lower or higher than the performance data quoted. To obtain performance as of the most recent month end, please visit www.americanbeaconfunds.com or call 1-800-967-9009. Fund performance in the table above does not reflect the deduction of taxes a shareholder would pay on distributions or the redemption of shares. 2. The Lehman Bros. 1-10 Yr. U.S. TIPS Index is an unmanaged market index comprising U.S. Treasury inflation-indexed securities with maturities between one and ten years while the Lehman Bros. U.S. TIPS Index includes all maturities. The Lipper TIPS Index tracks the results of the 30 largest mutual funds in the Lipper TIPS category. Lipper is an independent mutual fund research and ranking service. One cannot directly invest in an index. 3. The total annual Fund operating expense ratio set forth in the most recent prospectus for the Fund was 0.43%. After contractual expense reimbursements through February 28, 2009, the net expense ratio disclosed in the most recent prospectus was 0.35%. The expense ratio above may vary from the expense ratios presented in other sections of this report that is based on expenses incurred during the period covered by this report. The Fund underperformed the Index for the six-month period by 14 basis points (0.14%). Much of the Fund's underperformance can be attributed to Fund expenses. Nearly all of the Fund's performance occurred in the 1st quarter, specifically in January and February. The unexpected spike in inflation over the last part of 2007 and into 2008 led investors into TIPS, causing real yields to fall sharply. The Fund maintained a duration neutral position relative to the Index. From a yield curve positioning standpoint, the Fund was underweight the 2010-2013 maturities and overweight the 2014-2018 maturities. As the real yield curve steepened during the period, the Fund's overweight in the longer maturity TIPS allowed the Fund's holdings to outperform relative to the Index before the application of Fund expenses. The Fund remains focused on investing primarily in TIPS to provide inflation protection and income to its shareholders.

The examples below are intended to help you understand the ongoing cost (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds. The examples are based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period from January 1, 2008 through June 30, 2008. ACTUAL EXPENSES The "Actual" line of the table provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first line under the heading "Expenses Paid During Period" to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period. HYPOTHETICAL EXAMPLE FOR COMPARISON PURPOSES The "Hypothetical" line of the table provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund's actual expense ratio and an assumed 5% per year rate of return before expenses (not the Fund's actual return). You may compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund with other funds by contrasting this 5% hypothetical example and the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You should also be aware that the expenses shown in the table highlight only your ongoing costs and do not reflect any transaction costs charged by the Fund. Similarly, the expense examples for other funds do not reflect any transaction costs charged by those funds, such as sales charges (loads), redemption fees or exchange fees. Therefore, the "Hypothetical" line of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. If you were subject to any transaction costs during the period, your costs would have been higher.

ORGANIZATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES American Beacon Funds (the "Trust") is organized as a Massachusetts business trust and is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the "Act"), as amended, as a no load, diversified, open-end management investment company. These financial statements and notes to the financial statements relate to the American Beacon Treasury Inflation Protected Securities Fund (the "Fund"), a series of the Trust. American Beacon Advisors, Inc. (the "Manager") is a wholly-owned subsidiary of AMR Corporation ("AMR"), the parent company of American Airlines, Inc. ("American"), and was organized in 1986 to provide business management, advisory, administrative and asset management consulting services to the Trust and other investors. On April 16, 2008, AMR, the parent company of the Manager, announced that it had reached a definitive agreement to sell all of its interests in the Manager to Lighthouse Holdings, Inc., which is owned by investment funds affiliated with Pharos Capital Group, LLC and TPG Capital, L.P. AMR will acquire a minority equity stake in the parent corporation of Lighthouse Holdings, Inc. Completion of the sale would result in a change of control of the Manager, but there are no anticipated material changes in the services to be provided by the Manager or in the fee rate charged by the Manager to the Fund. The target closing date for the proposed acquisition is expected to be no later than September 30, 2008. Based in Dallas and Nashville, Pharos Capital Group, LLP invests through private equity funds, primarily in companies seeking later stage equity funding for internal growth, acquisitions, management buyouts or recapitalizations across industry sectors. TPG Capital, L.P. is the global buyout group of TPG, a leading private investment firm with more than $50 billion of assets under management. TPG Capital, L.P. has extensive experience with global public and private investments executed through leveraged buyouts, recapitalizations, spinouts, joint ventures and restructurings. Valuation of Investments Investments are valued at the close of the New York Stock Exchange (the "Exchange"), normally 4 p.m. ET, each day that the Exchange is open for business. Debt securities (other than short-term securities) normally are valued on the basis of prices provided by an independent pricing service and may take into account appropriate factors such as institution-size trading in similar groups of securities, yield, quality, coupon rate, maturity, type of issue, trading characteristics and other market data. When a price is unavailable from a pricing service or when the price provided by the pricing service is deemed not to represent fair value, the prices of debt securities may be determined using quotes obtained from brokers. Investments in mutual funds are valued at the closing net asset value per share of the mutual fund on the day of valuation. Investment grade short-term obligations with 60 days or less to maturity are valued using the amortized cost method, which approximates market value. Securities for which market prices are not readily available or are not reflective of the fair value of the security, as determined by the Manager, will be priced at fair value following procedures approved by the Board of Trustees (the "Board"). The Fund adopted the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157, "Fair Value Measurements" ("FAS 157"), effective with the beginning of the Fund's fiscal year. This standard 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. The three levels of the hierarchy under FAS 157 are described below: Level 1 - Quoted prices in active markets for identical securities. 9 AMERICAN BEACON TREASURY INFLATION PROTECTED SECURITIES FUND NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS JUNE 30, 2008 (UNAUDITED) Level 2 - Prices determined using other significant observable inputs. These may include quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, and others. Level 3 - Prices determined using significant unobservable inputs. Unobservable inputs reflect the Fund's own assumptions about the factors market participants would use in pricing an investment, and would be based on the best information available. A summary of the inputs used to value the Fund's net assets as of June 30, 2008 is as follows (in thousands): Investments Valuation Inputs in Securities ---------------- ------------- Level 1 - Quoted Prices ........................ $302,201 Level 2 - Other significant observable inputs .. -- Level 3 - Significant unobservable inputs ...... -- -------- Total .......................................... $302,201 The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities. For example, money market securities are valued using amortized cost, in accordance with rules under the Investment Company Act of 1940. Generally, amortized cost approximates the current fair value of a security, but since the value is not obtained from a quoted price in an active market, such securities are reflected as Level 2. Security Transactions and Investment Income Security transactions are recorded on the trade date of the security purchase or sale. The Fund may purchase securities with delivery or payment to occur at a later date. At the time the Fund enters into a commitment to purchase a security, the transaction is recorded, and the value of the security is reflected in the net asset value. The value of the security may vary with market fluctuations. Dividend income, net of foreign taxes, is recorded on the ex-dividend date except certain dividends from foreign securities which are recorded as soon as the information is available to the Fund. Interest income is earned from settlement date, recorded on the accrual basis, and adjusted, if necessary, for accretion of discounts and amortization of premiums. For financial and tax reporting purposes, realized gains and losses are determined on the basis of specific lot identification. Inflation-indexed bonds are fixed-income securities whose principal value is periodically adjusted to the rate of inflation. Interest is accrued based on the principal value, which is adjusted for inflation. Any increase in the principal amount of an inflation-indexed bond is recorded as interest income, even though principal is not received until maturity. Dividends to Shareholders Dividends from net investment income of the Fund normally will be declared and paid at least semi-annually. Distributions, if any, of net realized capital gains are generally paid at least annually and recorded on the ex-dividend date. Currency Translation All assets and liabilities initially expressed in foreign currency values are converted into U.S. dollar values at the mean of the bid and ask prices of such currencies against U.S. dollars as last quoted by a recognized dealer. Income, expenses and purchases and sales of investments are translated in U.S. dollars at 10 AMERICAN BEACON TREASURY INFLATION PROTECTED SECURITIES FUND NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS JUNE 30, 2008 (UNAUDITED) the rate of exchange prevailing on the respective dates of such transactions. The effect of changes in foreign currency exchange rates on investments is separately identified from the fluctuations arising from changes in market values of securities held and is reported with all other foreign currency gains and losses in the Fund's Statement of Operations. Forward Foreign Currency Exchange Contracts The Fund may enter into forward foreign currency contracts to hedge the exchange rate risk on investment transactions or to hedge the value of Fund securities denominated in foreign currencies. Forward foreign currency contracts are valued at the forward exchange rate prevailing on the day of valuation. The Fund bears the market risk that arises from changes in foreign exchange rates, and accordingly, the unrealized gain (loss) on these contracts is reflected in the accompanying financial statements. The Fund also bears the credit risk if the counterparty fails to perform under the contract. Use of Estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results may differ from those estimated. Other Under the Trust's organizational documents, its officers and directors are indemnified against certain liability arising out of the performance of their duties to the Trust. In the normal course of business, the Trust enters into contracts that provide indemnification to the other party or parties against potential costs or liabilities. The Trust's maximum exposure under these arrangements is dependent on claims that may be made in the future and, therefore, cannot be estimated. The Trust has had no prior claims or losses pursuant to any such agreement. 2. TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES Management Agreement The Trust and the Manager are parties to a Management Agreement that obligates the Manager to provide or oversee the provision of all administrative, investment advisory, and fund management. Investment assets of the Fund may be managed by multiple investment advisors which have entered into separate investment advisory agreements with the Manager. As compensation for performing the duties required under the Management Agreement, the Manager receives from the Fund an annualized fee equal to 0.10% of the average daily net assets plus amounts paid by the Manager to the investment advisors hired by the Manager to direct investment activities of the Fund. Management fees paid during the six months ended June 30, 2008 were as follows: AMOUNTS PAID TO NET AMOUNTS RETAINED MANAGEMENT FEE RATE MANAGEMENT FEE INVESTMENT ADVISORS BY MANAGER - ------------------- -------------- ------------------- -------------------- 0.15% - 0.19% $333,204 $127,332 $205,872 Administrative Services Agreement The Manager and the Trust entered into an Administrative Services Agreement which obligates the Manager to provide or oversee administrative and management services to the Fund. As compensation for performing the duties required under the Administrative Services Agreement, the Manager receives an annualized fee of 0.10% of the average daily net assets of the Fund. 11 AMERICAN BEACON TREASURY INFLATION PROTECTED SECURITIES FUND NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS JUNE 30, 2008 (UNAUDITED) Investment in Affiliated Funds The Fund is permitted, pursuant to an exemptive order by the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") and procedures approved by the Board, to invest up to 25% of its total assets in the American Beacon Money Market Select Fund (the "Select Fund"). The Fund and the Select Fund have the same investment advisor and, therefore, are considered to be affiliated. The Manager serves as investment advisor to the Select Fund and receives from the Select Fund an annualized fee equal to 0.10% of the Select Fund's average daily net assets. During the six months ended June 30, 2008, fees earned by the Manager from the Select Fund were $1,726. Interfund Lending Program Pursuant to an exemptive order by the SEC, the Fund, along with other registered investment companies having management contracts with the Manager, may participate in an interfund lending program as a borrower. This program provides an alternative credit facility allowing the Fund to borrow from other participating Funds. For the six months ended June 30, 2008, the Fund did not utilize the credit facility. Reimbursement of Expenses The Manager agreed to reimburse the Fund to the extent that total annual fund operating expenses exceed the Fund's expense cap. For the six months ended June 30, 2008, the Manager waived or reimbursed expenses of $1,279. The Fund has adopted an Expense Reimbursement Plan whereby the Manager may seek repayment of fees waived or expenses reimbursed for a period of up to three years. However, reimbursement will occur only if the Class's average net assets have grown or expenses have declined sufficiently to allow reimbursement without causing its expense ratio to exceed the previously agreed upon contractual expense limit. For the six months ended June 30, 2008, the Fund was able to recoup prior year fee waivers totaling $27,929. 3. FEDERAL INCOME AND EXCISE TAXES It is the policy of the Fund to comply with the requirements of Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code and to distribute substantially all net investment income as well as any net realized capital gains on the sale of investments. Therefore, no federal income or excise tax provision is required. The Fund adopted the provisions of FASB Interpretation No. 48, "Accounting for Uncertainties in Income Taxes" ("FIN 48"), on January 1, 2007. FIN 48 sets forth a minimum threshold for financial statement recognition of the benefit of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. The implementation of the FIN 48 did not result in any unrecognized tax benefits in the accompanying financial statements. Each of the tax years in the three year period ended December 31, 2007, remains subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service. If applicable, the Fund recognizes interest accrued related to unrecognized tax benefits in interest expense and penalties in "Other expenses" on the Statement of Operations. Dividends are categorized in accordance with income tax regulations which may treat certain transactions differently than U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. Accordingly, the character of distributions and composition of net assets for tax purposes may differ from those reflected in the accompanying financial statements. The Fund may be subject to taxes imposed by countries in which it invests. Such taxes are generally based on returns on income earned or gains realized or repatriated. Taxes are accrued and applied to net 12 AMERICAN BEACON TREASURY INFLATION PROTECTED SECURITIES FUND NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS JUNE 30, 2008 (UNAUDITED) investment income, net realized capital gains and net unrealized appreciation, as applicable, as the income is earned or capital gains are recorded. The tax character of distributions paid during the six months ended June 30, 2008 and the fiscal year ended December 31, 2007 were as follows (in thousands): SIX MONTHS ENDED YEAR ENDED JUNE 30, DECEMBER 31, 2008 2007 ----------- ------------ (Unaudited) DISTRIBUTIONS PAID FROM: Ordinary income* .......... $-- $2,630 Tax return of capital ..... -- 19 --- ------ TOTAL TAXABLE DISTRIBUTIONS .. $-- $2,649 === ====== * For tax purposes, short-term capital gains distributions are considered ordinary income distributions.

Financial records are not adjusted for temporary differences. The temporary differences between financial reporting and tax-basis reporting of unrealized appreciation/(depreciation) are attributable primarily to the tax deferral of losses from wash. Due to inherent differences in the recognition of income, expenses and realized gains/(losses) under U.S. generally accepted accounting principles and federal income tax regulations, permanent differences between book and tax reporting have been identified and appropriately reclassified on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. At June 30, 2008, the capital loss carry forward positions for federal income tax purposes were $144,311, $974,237, $110,477, and $141,206, expiring in 2013, 2014, 2015, and 2016, respectively. 4.

In preparation for the Board's consideration to renew these Current Agreements, the Board and its Investment Committee undertook steps to gather and consider information furnished by the Manager, the subadvisors and Lipper, Inc. ("Lipper"). The Board, with the assistance of independent legal counsel, requested and received certain relevant information from the Manager and each subadvisor. In addition, the Board's Investment Committee worked with Lipper to obtain relevant comparative information regarding the performance, fees and expenses of the Funds. The Investment Committee held a separate meeting on May 9, 2008 to consider the information provided by Lipper. Further, the Board took into consideration information furnished for the Board's review and consideration throughout the year at regular Board and Investment Committee meetings, as well as information specifically prepared in connection with the renewal process. On May 21, May 22 and June 4, 2008, the Board met to determine, among other matters, whether to approve a new investment management agreement ("New Agreement") between the Manager and the Funds. The New Agreement is necessary because, on April 16, 2008, AMR Corporation ("AMR"), the parent company of the Manager, entered into an agreement with Lighthouse Holdings, Inc. ("Lighthouse") pursuant to which Lighthouse will acquire all of the capital stock of the Manager ("Transaction") in exchange for cash and 10% of the capital stock of the parent corporation of Lighthouse. Upon the closing of the Transaction ("Closing"), the Manager will cease to be a wholly owned subsidiary of AMR and will become a subsidiary of Lighthouse. This change in control is deemed to be an "assignment" under the Investment Company Act of 1940 ("1940 Act") of each Fund's Current Agreement with the Manager. As required by the 1940 Act, each Fund's Current Agreement provides for its automatic termination in the event of an assignment, and each will, therefore, terminate upon the Closing. To provide for the continuity of management for the Funds, the Board met to consider the New Agreement with the Manager. The New Agreement for each Fund will reflect substantially the same terms as the Current Agreement for each Fund. In addition, the Current Agreement has been updated and modernized. As part of this process, the primary administrative services provided by the Manager to the Funds will be transferred to one single administrative services agreement ("New Administrative Services Agreement"). The aggregate fee rates for each Fund under the New Agreement and the New Administrative Services Agreement will be the same as the fee rates imposed under the Current Agreement and the Administrative Services Agreement between the Funds and the Manager (the "Current Administrative Services Agreement"). The New Agreement is subject to shareholder approval. If approved by the shareholders of the Funds, the New Agreement will become effective upon the Closing or, if the Closing is not consummated, the New Agreement will become effective on or about January 1, 2009. The Manager and Lighthouse anticipate that the Closing will occur in the third calendar quarter of 2008. Upon the Closing, Lighthouse directly will control the Manager. Lighthouse currently does not anticipate any changes to the organization or structure of the Funds, to the service providers or to the aggregate fee rates under any Current Agreement. In addition, the portfolio managers at the Manager that currently manage the Funds are expected to continue to manage the Funds after the Closing. In that regard, the Manager and Lighthouse have entered into or will enter into employment contracts that will take effect upon the Closing with certain key personnel performing or overseeing the Funds' investment programs. However, there can be no assurance that these personnel will choose to remain employed by the Manager before or after the Closing. The Manager and the Funds will continue to operate under their existing names. Potential benefits to the Funds as a result of the Transaction include Lighthouse's intention to devote additional resources to product development and distribution of Fund shares. Any resulting growth of Fund assets may produce economies of scale that could benefit shareholders of the Funds. 16 DISCLOSURE REGARDING THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES' APPROVAL OF THE MANAGEMENT AGREEMENT AND INVESTMENT ADVISORY AGREEMENTS OF THE FUND (UNAUDITED) In addition, under the Current Agreement, the Manager may retain subadvisors to provide investment advisory services for all or a portion of the assets of a Fund. With respect to certain Funds, the Manager has entered into Current Investment Advisory Agreements with various subadvisors on behalf of those Funds. Upon the Closing, these Current Investment Advisory Agreements will terminate automatically upon the termination of each Current Agreement. Pursuant to an exemptive order issued by the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"), the Manager is permitted to enter into new or modified investment advisory agreements with existing or new subadvisors ("New Investment Advisory Agreements") without approval of a Fund's shareholders, but subject to the approval of a Fund's Board. Each New Investment Advisory Agreement will reflect substantially the same terms as the Current Investment Advisory Agreement for each applicable Fund. The New Investment Advisory Agreements will become effective concurrent with the effectiveness of the New Agreement. In preparation for the Board's consideration to approve the New Agreement and New Investment Advisory Agreements, the Board held preliminary conference call meetings on April 15, 16 and 21, 2008, to discuss the New Agreement and New Investment Advisory Agreements and the effect that approving the New Agreement and New Investment Advisory Agreements would have on the Funds. The Board, with the assistance of independent legal counsel, received a memorandum and related advice from their legal counsel detailing the Board's responsibilities in considering the New Agreement and New Investment Advisory Agreements. In connection with Board's consideration of the Current Agreement, Current Investment Advisory Agreements, New Agreement and New Investment Advisory Agreements, the Trustees considered, among other materials, responses by the Manager and the subadvisors to inquiries requesting: - a description of the Transaction, the effects of the Transaction on the Trusts and the Board, and any proposed changes to the Trusts, their service providers or fee structure and other information; - a description of any significant changes (actual or anticipated) to principal activities, personnel, services provided to the Funds, or any other area, including how these changes might affect the Funds; - a copy of the firm's Form ADV registration statement with the SEC; - a summary of any material past, pending or anticipated litigation or regulatory proceedings involving the firm or its personnel, including the results of any recent regulatory examination or independent audit; - a profit/loss analysis of the firm and any actual or anticipated economies of scale in relation to the services it provides to each Fund; - a description of any payments by the firm to support the Funds' marketing efforts; - an analysis of compensation, including a comparison with fees charged to other clients for which similar services are provided, any proposed changes to the fee schedule and the effect of any fee waivers; - an evaluation of other benefits to the firm or Funds as a result of their relationship, if any; - confirmation that the firm's financial condition does not raise concerns that the firm would be unable to continue providing the same scope and quality of services to the Funds; - a description of the scope of portfolio management services provided to the Funds and the firm's other clients, including other registered investment companies, whether such services differ, and any advantages or disadvantages that might accrue to the Funds due to the firm's involvement in other activities; - a description of the personnel who are assigned primary responsibility for managing the Funds, including any changes during the past year, and a discussion of the adequacy of current and projected staffing levels to service the Funds; - a description of the basis upon which portfolio managers are compensated, including any "incentive" arrangements; - a discussion regarding the firm's participation in "soft dollar" arrangements, if any, or other brokerage allocation policies with respect to Fund transactions, including the firm's methodology for obtaining the most favorable execution and the use of any affiliated broker-dealers; 17 DISCLOSURE REGARDING THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES' APPROVAL OF THE MANAGEMENT AGREEMENT AND INVESTMENT ADVISORY AGREEMENTS OF THE FUND (UNAUDITED) - a discussion of whether the firm receives, with respect to the Funds, other compensation, including any payment for order flow or ECN liquidity rebates; - a description of any actual or potential conflicts of interest anticipated in managing Fund assets; - a summary of any material changes to the firm's compliance program with regard to federal, state, corporate and Fund requirements and a certification regarding the reasonable design of the compliance program; - a discussion of any material compliance problems and remedial actions; - information regarding the firm's code of ethics, insider trading policy and disaster recovery plan, including a description of any material changes thereto; - a description of the firm's affiliation with any broker-dealer; - a discussion of any anticipated change in the firm's controlling persons; and verification of the firm's insurance coverage with regard to the services provided to the Funds. In addition to the foregoing, the Manager provided the following information specific to the renewal of each Fund's Current Agreement and the approval of each Fund's New Agreement: - a comparison of the performance of each Fund to comparable investment companies and appropriate indices, including comments on the relative performance of each subadvisor and each Fund versus the respective peer group average; - a discussion, if applicable, of any underperformance by a subadvisor relative to its peer group and what, if any, remedial measures the Manager has or intends to take; - a comparison of advisory fees and expense ratios for comparable mutual funds; - an analysis of any material complaints received from Fund shareholders; - a description of the Manager's securities lending practices and the fees received from such practices; - a description of any revenue sharing activities with respect to the Funds; - a discussion of any rebate arrangements between the Manager and a service provider to the Funds pursuant to which the Manager receives direct or indirect benefits from the service provider; - a description of the portfolio turnover rate and average execution costs for each Fund and each subadvisor to a Fund; and - a description of how expenses that are not readily identifiable to a particular Fund are allocated. In connection with the Current Agreements, Current Investment Advisory Agreements, New Agreement and New Investment Advisory Agreements, the Board also obtained an analysis provided by Lipper that compared: (i) investment performance of each Fund versus comparable investment companies and appropriate indices; (ii) total Fund expenses of each Fund versus comparable mutual funds, and (iii) each Fund's investment advisory fees versus comparable mutual funds. For each Fund with more than one class of shares, the class of shares used for comparative purposes was the class with the longest performance history, which in most cases was the Institutional Class. References below to each Fund's Lipper peer group are to the group of comparable mutual funds included in the analysis provided by Lipper. The Current Agreements, Current Investment Advisory Agreements, New Agreement and New Investment Advisory Agreements are each referenced to herein as an "Agreement" and collectively, the "Agreements." The Trustees also received memoranda from their legal counsel detailing the Board's responsibilities pertaining to the approval of each Agreement. These memoranda explained the regulatory requirements surrounding the Trustees' process for evaluating investment advisors and the terms of the contracts. In connection with the Board's consideration of the New Agreement and each New Investment Advisory Agreement, the Trustees considered, among other information, the following factors, in addition to other factors noted in the Proxy Statement: 1. The manner in which each Fund's assets are managed will not change as a result of the Transaction, and the same people who currently manage the Fund's assets are expected to continue to do so after the Transaction; 18 DISCLOSURE REGARDING THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES' APPROVAL OF THE MANAGEMENT AGREEMENT AND INVESTMENT ADVISORY AGREEMENTS OF THE FUND (UNAUDITED) 2. The aggregate fee rates payable by each Fund under the New Agreement and the New Administrative Services Agreement are the same as the fee rates payable under the Current Agreement and the Current Administrative Services Agreement; 3. The material terms regarding advisory services pursuant to the New Agreement are substantially the same as the terms of the Current Agreement; 4. The qualifications of the Manager's personnel who will provide advisory and administrative services to the Funds are not expected to change; 5. The Manager's financial condition and the post-Closing capitalization of Lighthouse; 6. The impact of the Transaction on the Manager's day-to-day operations; 7. The capabilities, experience, corporate structure and capital resources of Lighthouse; 8. The long-term business goals of Lighthouse with regard to the Manager and the Trusts; 9. Fund shareholders will not bear any costs in connection with the Transaction, inasmuch as AMR and Lighthouse will bear equally the costs, fees and expenses incurred by the Funds in connection with the Proxy Statement, the fees and expenses of accountants and attorneys relating to the Transaction and Proxy Statement, the fees and expenses incurred by the Funds in connection with the Transaction, and the meeting fees of the Boards for meetings held in connection with the Transaction; 10. The Funds may realize benefits as a result of the Transaction, including long-term economies of scale; 11. The potential for increased costs to the Funds in order to satisfy existing obligations under the current Trustees' retirement plan; and 12. The advisory relationship with each subadvisor would continue in the same manner as before the Transaction and that each New Investment Advisory Agreement will be substantially the same as each Current Investment Advisory Agreement. Provided below is an overview of the other primary factors the Board considered at its May 21, May 22 and June 4, 2008 meetings. The Board did not identify any particular information that was most relevant to its consideration to renew the Current Agreement and Current Investment Advisory Agreements and approve the New Agreement and New Investment Advisory Agreements, and each Trustee may have afforded different weight to the various factors. Legal counsel to the Non-interested Trustees provided the Board with memoranda regarding its responsibilities pertaining to the renewal of the Current Agreement and Current Investment Advisory Agreements and approval of the New Agreement and New Investment Advisory Agreements. Based on its evaluation, the Board unanimously concluded that the terms of the Current Agreement and Current Investment Advisory Agreements were reasonable and fair and that the renewal of the Current Agreement and each Current Investment Advisory Agreement was in the best interests of each Fund and its shareholders. The Board also unanimously concluded that the terms of the New Agreement and New Investment Advisory Agreements were reasonable and fair and that the approval of the New Agreement and each New Investment Advisory Agreement was in the best interests of each Fund and its shareholders. CONSIDERATIONS WITH RESPECT TO ALL FUNDS In determining whether to renew the Current Agreement and the Current Investment Advisory Agreements and approve the New Agreement and New Investment Advisory Agreements, the Trustees considered the best interests of each Fund separately. While the Current Agreement and Current Investment Advisory Agreements for all of the Funds were considered at the Board meetings on May 21, 2008, and the New Agreement and New Investment Advisory Agreements for all of the Funds were considered at the meetings on May 21, May 22 and June 4, 2008, the Board considered each Fund's investment management and subadvisory relationships separately. In each instance, the Board considered, among other things, the following factors: (1) the nature and quality of the services provided; (2) the investment performance of a Fund and, as applicable, each subadvisor for a Fund; (3) the costs incurred by the Manager and (to the extent provided) the 19 DISCLOSURE REGARDING THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES' APPROVAL OF THE MANAGEMENT AGREEMENT AND INVESTMENT ADVISORY AGREEMENTS OF THE FUND (UNAUDITED) subadvisors in rendering their services and their resulting profits or losses; (4) the extent to which economies of scale have been taken into account in setting each fee schedule; (5) whether fee levels reflect these economies of scale for the benefit of Fund investors; (6) comparisons of services and fees with contracts entered into by the Manager or a subadvisor or their affiliates with other clients (such as pension funds and other institutional funds); and (7) any other benefits derived or anticipated to be derived by the Manager or a subadvisor from their relationship with a Fund. The Trustees posed questions to various management personnel of the Manager and Lighthouse regarding certain key aspects of the materials submitted in support of the renewal. Nature, Extent and Quality of Services. With respect to the renewal of each Fund's Current Agreement and the approval of each Fund's New Agreement, the Board considered: the background and experience of key investment personnel and the Manager's ability to retain them; the Manager's disciplined investment approach and goal to provide consistent above average long-term performance at a low cost; the Manager's continuing efforts to add new series and share classes to enhance the Funds' product line; the Manager's record in building improved compliance, control and credit functions that reduce risks to the Funds; the addition of personnel to manage the Funds, promote sales and improve services, including the addition of a separate new information technology (IT) department at the Manager; the high rankings received by the Funds in service surveys; and the active role played by the Manager in monitoring and, as appropriate, recommending replacements for the investment subadvisors and master portfolios. With respect to the renewal of the Current Investment Advisory Agreements and the approval of the New Investment Advisory Agreements, the Trustees considered the background and experience of each subadvisor's investment personnel responsible for managing the Funds, the size of the subadvisor and their ability to continue to attract and retain qualified investment personnel. Based on the foregoing information, the Board concluded that the nature, extent and quality of the management and advisory services provided by the Manager and each subadvisor were appropriate for each Fund and, thus, determined to renew the Current Agreement and Current Investment Advisory Agreements, and approve the New Agreement and New Investment Advisory Agreements for each Fund. Investment Performance. The Board evaluated the comparative information provided by Lipper and the Manager regarding each Fund's investment performance relative to its benchmark index(es) and peer group. The Board considered the information provided by Lipper regarding its independent peer selection methodology to select all peer groups and universes. The Board also considered the performance reports and discussions with management at Board and Committee meetings throughout the year. The Manager also noted that it generally was satisfied with the performance of the subadvisors. A discussion regarding the Board's considerations with respect to each Fund's performance appears below under "Additional Considerations and Conclusions with Respect to Each Fund." Costs of the Services to be Provided to the Funds and the Projected Profits to be Realized by the Manager from its Relationship with the Funds. In analyzing the cost of services and profitability of the Manager and a subadvisor by Fund, the Board considered the revenues earned and the expenses incurred by the Manager. The profits or losses were noted at both an individual Fund level and at an aggregate level for all Funds. The Board also noted that the Manager proposed to continue the expense waivers and reimbursements for certain Funds and classes that were in place during the last fiscal year. The Board further considered that each subadvised Fund pays the Manager the amounts due to its subadvisors, and the Manager remits these amounts directly to the applicable subadvisors. The Board considered that the Manager receives service and administrative fees to compensate the Manager for providing administrative services to the Funds and to compensate third-party administrators and broker-dealers for services to Fund shareholders. In addition, the Board considered that the Manager receives management fees for overseeing the securities lending 20 DISCLOSURE REGARDING THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES' APPROVAL OF THE MANAGEMENT AGREEMENT AND INVESTMENT ADVISORY AGREEMENTS OF THE FUND (UNAUDITED) relationships on behalf of various Funds. The Board also noted that certain classes of the Funds maintain higher expense ratios in order to compensate third-party distributors. In analyzing the cost of services and profitability of each subadvisor in connection with its investment advisory services to a Fund, the Board considered that, in many cases, the Manager has negotiated the lowest subadvisory fee a subadvisor charges for any comparable client accounts. The Board gave less weight to profitability considerations or did not view this data as imperative to its deliberations given the arm's-length nature of the relationship between the Manager and the subadvisors with respect to the negotiation of subadvisory fees. Based on the foregoing information, the Board concluded that the profitability levels were reasonable in light of the services performed by the Manager and the subadvisors. A discussion regarding the Board's considerations with respect to each Fund's fee rates is set forth below under "Additional Considerations and Conclusions with Respect to Each Fund." Economies of Scale. In considering the reasonableness of the management and investment advisory fees, the Board considered whether economies of scale will be realized as the Funds grow and whether fee levels reflect these economies of scale for the benefit of Fund shareholders. In this regard, the Board considered that the Manager has negotiated breakpoints in many subadvisory fee rates. The Board also noted that, for purposes of determining the fee rates chargeable to the Funds, many subadvisors have agreed to take into account other assets of AMR and its pension plans that are managed by the subadvisors. Thus, the Funds are able to receive lower effective fee rates. The Board also noted that certain Funds have grown their shareholder base, which has spread fixed costs over a larger shareholder and asset base. The Board also considered the Manager's representations that its costs have increased due primarily to greater service provider and regulatory costs. The Manager also represented that it anticipates further economies of scale would be largely offset by higher costs of adding and retaining qualified personnel, improving technology and increasing demands on its advisory business. Based on the foregoing information, the Board concluded that the Manager and subadvisor fee schedules for each Fund provides for a reasonable sharing of benefits from any economies of scale with the Funds. Benefits Derived from the Relationship with the Funds. The Board considered the "fall-out" or ancillary benefits that accrue to the Manager and/or the subadvisors as a result of the advisory relationships with the Funds, including greater exposure in the marketplace with respect to the Manager's or subadvisor's investment process and expanding the level of assets under management by the Manager and the subadvisors. In addition, the Board noted that the Manager provides services to the Funds at a relatively low cost. In this regard, the Board considered that the benefit plans of AMR have invested substantial assets in the Funds, which helps reduce costs for other Fund shareholders, just as the investment of other Fund shareholders helps to reduce costs for AMR's benefit plans. In addition, the Board considered that certain of the subadvisors reimburse the Manager for certain of its costs relating to distribution activities for the Funds. The Board also considered that Funds did not pay commissions to any affiliated broker-dealer of the Manager during the most recent fiscal years ended October 31, and December 31, 2007, though during that period certain Funds did pay commissions to affiliated broker-dealers of the relevant subadvisor, as set forth in the following table. FUND BROKER AFFILIATED WITH COMMISSION - ---- -------------------- ------------------------- ---------- American Beacon Large Goldman Sachs Asset Cap Growth Fund Goldman, Sachs & Co. Management, L.P. $1,020 American Beacon Emerging JM Morgan Stanley Morgan Stanley Investment Markets Fund Securities Limited Management Inc. $ 326 The percentage of total commissions of the American Beacon Large Cap Growth Fund and Emerging Markets Fund paid to affiliated broker-dealers in 2007 was 4.13% and 0.07%, respectively. 21 DISCLOSURE REGARDING THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES' APPROVAL OF THE MANAGEMENT AGREEMENT AND INVESTMENT ADVISORY AGREEMENTS OF THE FUND (UNAUDITED) Based on the foregoing information, the Board concluded that the potential benefits accruing to the Manager and the subadvisors by virtue of its relationships with the Funds appear to be fair and reasonable. Additional Considerations and Conclusions with Respect to the Treasury Inflation Protected Securities Fund The performance comparisons below were made versus the Fund's Lipper peer universe median. References to the Lipper expense group below are to the group of comparable mutual funds included in the analysis provided to the Trustees by Lipper, Inc. In considering the renewal of the Current Agreement and the approval of the New Agreement, the Trustees considered the following additional factors: (1) the Treasury Inflation Protected Securities Fund outperformed the peer universe median for the one- and three-year periods ended March 31, 2008; and (2) the expense ratio of the Institutional Class of Fund shares was lower than its Lipper expense group median. In considering the renewal of the Current Investment Advisory Agreement and the approval of the New Investment Advisory Agreement with NISA Investment Advisors LLC ("NISA"), the Trustees considered the following additional factors: (1) NISA underperformed the peer universe median for the one-year period ended March 31, 2008, but outperformed the peer universe median for the three-year period and (2) the Manager's recommendation to continue to retain NISA. Based on these and other considerations, the Trustees concluded that the fees paid to the Manager and the subadvisor under the Agreements are fair and reasonable, determined that the Treasury Inflation Protected Securities Fund and its shareholders would benefit from the Manager's and subadvisor's continued management of the Fund, approved the renewal of the Current Agreement and Current Investment Advisory Agreement and approved the New Agreement and New Investment Advisory Agreement with respect to the Treasury Inflation Protected Securities Fund. 22 This page intentionally left blank 23 This page intentionally left blank 24 This page intentionally left blank 25 (AMERICAN BEACON FUNDS(SM) LOGO) DELIVERY OF DOCUMENTS To reduce expenses, your financial institution may mail only one copy of the Prospectus, Annual Report and Semi-Annual Report to those addresses shared by two or more accounts.

American Beacon Funds June 30, 2008 (PHOTO OF WILLIAM F. QUINN) Fellow Shareholders, I am pleased to present to you the Semi-Annual Report for the American Beacon Money Market Fund and the U.S. Government Money Market Fund for the six months ended June 30, 2008. The American Beacon Money Market Fund reported a total return of 1.63% and 1.64% for this six-month period for the Institutional and Cash Management classes with expense ratios of 23 basis points (0.23%) and 20 basis points (0.20%), respectively, for their most recent fiscal year. Both classes outperformed the Lipper Institutional Money Market Funds Average return of 1.49%. The American Beacon U.S. Government Money Market Fund - Cash Management Class reported a total return of 1.41% for this same period with an expense ratio of 60 basis points (0.60%) for its most recent fiscal year, outperforming the Lipper Institutional U.S. Government Money Market Funds Average return by 9 basis points (0.09%). During the period, the sub-prime mortgage crisis continued to cause uncertainties surrounding banks, investment banks and the entire financial system, resulting in an extraordinary amount of volatility. The Federal Reserve ("Fed") was challenged to fulfill its dual mandate of balancing the risks to both growth and inflation. Inflation concerns were mounting, but weak economic growth and turmoil in the financial markets limited the Fed's ability to raise interest rates in the near term to strengthen the U.S. dollar and counter inflation. We feel the Funds' strategy of investing in high credit quality securities combined with lower than average expense ratios will continue to benefit the Funds' yields while protecting the Funds' liquidity for the long term. Please review the enclosed market overview, portfolio listings and detailed financial data. As always, we welcome the opportunity to serve your financial needs.

Thank you for your continued confidence in the American Beacon Money Market Funds. Sincerely, /s/ William F. Quinn William F. Quinn President American Beacon Funds 1 ECONOMIC OVERVIEW AMERICAN BEACON MONEY MARKET FUND(SM) JUNE 30, 2008 (UNAUDITED) The Federal Open Market Committee ("Fed") left the rates unchanged at 2.00% at the June 25th meeting, ending a 225 basis point (2.25%) easing cycle that began in September 2007. In addition, the Fed shifted its bias toward inflation risk, opening the door to the possibility that the next move could be a rate hike. However, inflation was not the Fed's only concern. They have also had to contend with a softening labor market, declining house prices, and continued strain in the financial markets. Headline producer and consumer prices both surprised to the upside in June. Thus far, waning consumer demand limited companies' ability to pass on higher raw materials costs, but this trend began to reverse as corporate profits eroded. Although inflation was on the rise, sluggish economic growth remained a chief concern for the Fed. Nonfarm payrolls declined by 438,000 for the first half of 2008, resulting in a rise in the unemployment rate to 5.5%. This combined with continued declines in home prices caused consumer confidence to drop to the lowest levels on record. Although the fiscal stimulus package is expected to buoy second quarter gross domestic product, the economic slowdown may deepen in the second half of 2008 as the impact of federal tax rebates fade. The Fed continued to address financial market instability. Although measures taken by the Fed to increase liquidity have eased short-term funding pressures somewhat, financial markets remained volatile. In response to renewed concerns over the health of the nation's financial system, Fed Chairman Ben Bernanke recently announced that the central bank may extend its emergency loan program for investment banks into 2009. The program was created in March and was set to potentially expire in mid-September. Bernanke stated that the Fed is "currently monitoring developments in financial markets closely and considering several options, including extending the duration of our facilities for primary dealers beyond year-end, should the current unusual and exigent circumstances continue in dealer funding markets." Given all of the above, the Fed was challenged to fulfill its dual mandate of balancing the risks to both growth and inflation. Inflation concerns mounted, but weak economic growth and turmoil in the financial markets limited the Fed's ability to raise interest rates in the near term. Bernanke stated, "Given the high degree of uncertainty, monetary policy makers will need to carefully assess incoming information bearing on the outlook for both inflation and growth". 2 PERFORMANCE OVERVIEW AMERICAN BEACON MONEY MARKET FUND(SM) JUNE 30, 2008 (UNAUDITED) As the economy continued to show signs of weakening during the first half of the year, the Federal Reserve ("Fed") continued its series of easing monetary policy. The year began with an overnight target rate of 4.25% before the Fed eased by 75 basis points (0.75%) inter-meeting on January 22nd. The Fed continued to cut rates at the following three Federal Open Market Committee ("FOMC") meetings, resulting in a 2.00% fed funds target by the April 30th FOMC meeting. The Fed has remained on hold the last two meetings, expressing concern for both inflation and slow growth. In response to the events that caused the Fed to ease, the American Beacon Money Market Fund's weighted-average maturity was maintained around 40 days. With credit quality a priority, the primary strategy of the Fund for the first half of the year was to buy high-quality, short-dated, fixed-rate securities and overnight investments. The strategies implemented during the year enabled the Fund to outperform its Lipper peer group. For the six months ended June 30, 2008, the total return of the Cash Management Class of the American Beacon Money Market Fund was 1.64%. The Fund outperformed the Lipper Institutional Money Market Average return of 1.49% by 15 basis points (0.15%). Based on annualized total returns, Lipper Inc. ranked the Cash Management Class of the Fund 74 among 386, 29 among 337 and 17 among 271 Institutional Money Market Funds for the one-year, three-year, and five-year periods ended June 30, 2008, respectively. (BAR CHART) ANNUALIZED TOTAL RETURNS AS OF 6/30/2008 --------------------------- 1 YEAR 5 YEARS 10 YEARS ------ ------- -------- Cash Mgmt Class(1,2,5) ........ 4.27% 3.38% 3.77% Institutional Class (1,3,5) ... 4.25% 3.30% 3.72% PlanAhead Class (1,5) ......... 3.93% 3.02% 3.42% BBH ComSet Class (1,4,5) ...... 4.27% 3.38% 3.77% (1.) Performance shown is historical and may not be indicative of future returns. Investment returns will vary, and shares may be worth more or less at redemption than at original purchase. An investment in this Fund is neither insured nor guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other government agency. Although the Fund seeks to preserve the value of an investment at $1.00 per share, it is possible to lose money by investing in the Fund. Fund performance in the table above does not reflect the deduction of taxes a shareholder would pay on distributions or the redemption of shares. (2.) Fund performance for the ten-year period represents the total returns achieved by the Institutional Class from 7/1/98 to 12/1/01, the inception date of the Cash Management Class, and the returns of the Cash Management Class thereafter. Expenses of the Cash Management Class are lower than those of the Institutional Class. Therefore, total returns shown are lower than the Cash Management Class would have realized in the same period. A portion of the fees charged to the Cash Management Class of the Fund has been waived. Performance prior to waiving fees was lower than the actual returns shown. (3.) A portion of the fees charged to the Institutional Class of the Fund has been waived since 2006. Performance prior to waiving fees was lower than the actual returns shown for periods since 2006. (4.) Fund performance represents the total returns achieved by the Institutional Class from 7/1/98 to 12/1/01, the total returns achieved by the Cash Management Class from 12/1/01 up to 4/2/07, the inception date of the BBH ComSet Class, and the returns of the BBH ComSet Class thereafter. Expenses of the BBH ComSet Class are lower than those of the Institutional and Cash Management Classes through 12/31/03. Therefore, total returns shown through 12/31/03 are lower than they would have been had the BBH ComSet Class been in place during that period. Expenses of the BBH ComSet Class have been the same as those of the Cash Management Class since 1/1/04. (5.) The total annual Fund operating expense ratios set forth in the most recent Fund prospectus for the Cash Management, Institutional, PlanAhead and the BBH ComSet Class shares were 0.20%, 0.23%, 0.48% and 0.22%, respectively. After expense reimbursement, the net expense ratio set forth in the most recent Fund prospectus for the Cash Management, Institutional and BBH ComSet Class shares was 0.15%, 0.18% and 0.15%, respectively. The expense ratios above may vary from the expense ratios presented in other sections of this report, which are based on expenses incurred during the period covered by this report. 3 PERFORMANCE OVERVIEW AMERICAN BEACON MONEY MARKET FUND(SM) JUNE 30, 2008 (UNAUDITED) PORTFOLIO STATISTICS AS OF JUNE 30, 2008 CASH BBH MANAGEMENT INSTITUTIONAL PLANAHEAD COMSET CLASS CLASS CLASS CLASS ---------- ------------- --------- ------- 7-day Current Yield* ........ 2.60% 2.57% 2.28% 2.60% 7-day Effective Yield* ........ 2.63% 2.60% 2.30% 2.63% 30-day Yield* .... 2.58% 2.55% 2.25% 2.58% Weighted Avg.

The examples below are intended to help you understand the ongoing cost (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds. The examples are based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period from January 1, 2008 through June 30, 2008. ACTUAL EXPENSES The "Actual" lines of the table provide information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in these lines, 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 "Actual" line under the heading "Expenses Paid During Period" for the applicable Class to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period. Shareholders of the PlanAhead Class that invest in the Fund through an IRA may be subject to a custodial IRA fee of $12 that is typically deducted each December. If your account was subject to a custodial IRA fee during the period, your costs would have been $12 higher. HYPOTHETICAL EXAMPLE FOR COMPARISON PURPOSES The "Hypothetical" lines of the table provide information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund's actual expense ratio and an assumed 5% per year rate of return before expenses (not the Fund's actual return). You may compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund with other funds by contrasting this 5% hypothetical example and the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. Shareholders of the PlanAhead Class that invest in the Fund through an IRA may be subject to a custodial IRA fee of $12 that is typically deducted each December. If your account was subject to a custodial IRA fee during the period, your costs would have been $12 higher. You should also be aware that the expenses shown in the table highlight only your ongoing costs and do not reflect any transaction costs charged by the Fund. Similarly, the expense examples for other funds do not reflect any transaction costs charged by those funds, such as sales charges (loads), redemption fees or exchange fees. Therefore, the "Hypothetical" lines of the table are useful in comparing ongoing costs only and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. If you were subject to any transaction costs during the period, your costs would have been higher.

ORGANIZATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES American Beacon Funds (the "Trust") is organized as a Massachusetts business trust and is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the "Act"), as amended, as a diversified, no-load, open-end management investment company with separate series. The following series are included in this report: American Beacon Money Market and American Beacon U.S. Government Money Market Funds (each a "Fund" and collectively, the "Funds"). American Beacon Advisors, Inc. (the "Manager") is a wholly-owned subsidiary of AMR Corporation ("AMR") and was organized in 1986 to provide business management, advisory, administrative and asset management consulting services to the Trust and other investors. On April 16, 2008, AMR, the parent company of the Manager, announced that it had reached a definitive agreement to sell all of its interests in the Manager to Lighthouse Holdings, Inc., which is owned by investment funds affiliated with Pharos Capital Group, LLC and TPG Capital, L.P. AMR will acquire a minority equity stake in the parent corporation of Lighthouse Holdings, Inc. Completion of the sale would result in a change of control of the Manager, but there are no anticipated material changes in the services to be provided by the Manager or in the fee rate charged by the Manager to the Fund. The target closing date for the proposed acquisition is expected to be no later than September 30, 2008. Based in Dallas and Nashville, Pharos Capital Group, LLP invests through private equity funds, primarily in companies seeking later stage equity funding for internal growth, acquisitions, management buyouts or recapitalizations across industry sectors. TPG Capital, L.P. is the global buyout group of TPG, a leading private investment firm with more than $50 billion of assets under management. TPG Capital, L.P. has extensive experience with global public and private investments executed through leveraged buyouts, recapitalizations, spinouts, joint ventures and restructurings. The BBH ComSet Class of the Money Market Fund commenced operations on April 2, 2007. The Platinum Class of the Funds was fully liquidated effective May 31, 2007. Each Fund invests all of its investable assets in the corresponding portfolio of the American Beacon Master Trust, an open-end diversified management investment company, as follows: AMERICAN BEACON: (ARROW) invests assets in (ARROW) AMERICAN BEACON MASTER TRUST: - ---------------- ----------------------------- Money Market Fund Money Market Portfolio U.S. Government Money Market Fund U.S. Government Money Market Portfolio Each Fund has the same investment objectives as its corresponding American Beacon Master Trust Portfolio. The value of such investment reflects each Fund's proportionate interest in the net assets of the corresponding portfolio (20.0% and 4.5% at June 30, 2008 of the American Beacon Master Trust Money Market and U.S. Government Money Market Portfolios, respectively) (each a "Portfolio" and collectively the "Portfolios"). The financial statements of the Portfolios are included elsewhere in this report and should be read in conjunction with the Funds' financial statements. The following is a summary of the significant accounting policies followed by the Funds. Class Disclosure Each Fund has multiple classes of shares designed to meet the needs of different groups of investors. Please note that not all Funds offer all classes. The following table sets forth the differences amongst the classes: 11 AMERICAN BEACON FUNDS NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS JUNE 30, 2008 (UNAUDITED) CLASS: OFFERED TO: SERVICE AND DISTRIBUTION FEES: - ------ --------------------------------------------------------- ---------------------------------- CASH MANAGEMENT CLASS Investors making an initial investment of $10 million for Administrative Service Fee - 0.07% Money Market and $2 million for U.S. Government Money Market, or investors investing through an intermediary INSTITUTIONAL CLASS Investors making an initial investment of $2 million Administrative Service Fee - 0.10% PLANAHEAD CLASS General public and investors investing through an Administrative Service Fee - 0.10% intermediary Service Fee - 0.25% BBH COMSET Investors making an initial investment of at least $10 Administrative Service Fee - 0.08% million in BBH ComSet(SM) who meet the eligibility requirements established by Brown Brothers Harriman & Co. Valuation of Investments The Funds record their investment in the Portfolios at fair value. Valuation of securities by the Portfolios is discussed in Note 1 of the Portfolios' Notes to Financial Statements, which are included elsewhere in this report. The Portfolios adopted the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157, "Fair Value Measurements" ("FAS 157"), effective with the beginning of the American Beacon Portfolios' fiscal year. This standard 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. The three levels of the hierarchy under FAS 157 are described below: Level 1 - Quoted prices in active markets for identical securities. Level 2 - Prices determined using other significant observable inputs. These may include quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, and others. Level 3- Prices determined using significant unobservable inputs. Unobservable inputs reflect the Portfolio's own assumptions about the factors market participants would use in pricing an investment, and would be based on the best information available. The summary of inputs used to value the Portfolios' net assets as of June 30, 2008 is discussed in the Portfolios' Notes to Financial Statements, which are included elsewhere in this report. Investment Income and Dividends to Shareholders Each Fund records its share of net investment income (loss) and realized gain (loss) in the Portfolio each day. All net investment income (loss) and realized gain (loss) of each Portfolio are allocated pro rata among the corresponding Fund and other investors in each Portfolio at the time of such determination. The Funds generally declare dividends daily from net investment income and net short-term capital gain, if any, payable monthly. Dividends to shareholders are determined in accordance with federal income tax principles that may treat certain transactions differently than U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. Allocation of Income, Expenses, Gains and Losses Income, expenses (other than those attributable to a specific class), gains and losses are allocated daily to each class of shares based upon the relative proportion of net assets represented by such class. Operating expenses directly attributable to a specific class are charged against the operations of that class. 12 AMERICAN BEACON FUNDS NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS JUNE 30, 2008 (UNAUDITED) Use of Estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results may differ from those estimated. Other Under the Trust's organizational documents, its officers and directors are indemnified against certain liability arising out of the performance of their duties to the Trust. In the normal course of business, the Trust enters into contracts that provide indemnification to the other party or parties against potential costs or liabilities. The Trust's maximum exposure under these arrangements is dependent on claims that may be made in the future and, therefore, cannot be estimated. The Trust has had no prior claims or losses pursuant to any such agreement. 2. TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES Administrative Services Agreement As compensation for providing administrative services to the Funds, the Manager receives an annualized fee of 0.10% of the average daily net assets of each of the Institutional and PlanAhead Classes of the Funds, 0.08% of the average daily net assets of the BBH ComSet Class of the Money Market Fund and 0.07% of the Cash Management Class of the Funds. Distribution Plan The Trust has adopted a "defensive" Distribution Plan (the "Plan") in accordance with Rule 12b-1 under the Act, pursuant to which no fees may be charged to the Funds for distribution purposes. However, the Plan authorizes the fees received by the Manager to be used for distribution purposes. Under this plan, the Trust does not intend to compensate the Manager or any other party, either directly or indirectly, for the distribution of Trust shares. Service Agreement The Manager and the Trust entered into a Service Agreement which obligates the Manager to oversee additional shareholder servicing of the PlanAhead Class. As compensation for performing the duties required under the Service Agreement, the Manager receives 0.25% based on the daily net assets of the PlanAhead Class. Reimbursement and Waiver of Expenses The Manager contractually agreed to reimburse the following Funds for distribution and other expenses through February 28, 2009 to the extent total annual fund operating expenses exceed the following amounts: FUND CLASS EXPENSE CAP AMOUNT - ---- --------------- ----------- -------- Money Market Fund .................. Institutional 0.18% $ 73,330 Money Market Fund .................. Cash Management 0.15% 124,672 Money Market Fund .................. BBH ComSet* 0.15% 352,445 U.S. Government Money Market Fund .. Cash Management 0.15% 29,021 U.S. Government Money Market Fund .. PlanAhead 0.65% 2,434 * Prior to March 1, 2008, fees were voluntarily waived by the Manager to arrive at expense cap. 13 AMERICAN BEACON FUNDS NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS JUNE 30, 2008 (UNAUDITED) Expense Reimbursement Plan The Funds have adopted an Expense Reimbursement Plan whereby the Manager may seek recoupment of fees waived or expenses reimbursed for a period of up to three years. However, recoupment will occur only if the Class' average net assets have grown or expenses have declined sufficiently to allow recoupment without causing its expense ratio to exceed the previously agreed upon expense limit. The table below excludes amounts previously reimbursed to the Platinum Classes of the Funds. The following waived fees or reimbursed expenses are subject to potential recovery expiring in: U.S. GOVERNMENT YEAR MONEY MARKET MONEY MARKET - ---- ------------ --------------- 2008 .... 150,253 26,231 2009 .... 260,591 65,678 2010 .... 769,055 7,577 2011 .... 569,563 31,455 The Funds have not recorded a liability for this potential reimbursement due to the current assessment that a reimbursement is unlikely. 3. FEDERAL INCOME TAXES It is the policy of the Funds to comply with the requirements of Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code and to distribute substantially all net investment income as well as any net realized capital gains on the sale of investments. Therefore, no federal income or excise tax provision is required. The Funds adopted the provisions of FASB Interpretation No. 48, "Accounting for Uncertainties in Income Taxes" ("FIN 48"), on January 1, 2007. FIN 48 sets forth a minimum threshold for financial statement recognition of the benefit of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. The implementation of FIN 48 did not result in any unrecognized tax benefits in the accompanying financial statements. Each of the tax years in the three year period ended December 31, 2007, remains subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service. If applicable, the Funds recognize interest accrued related to unrecognized tax benefits in interest expense and penalties in "Other expenses" on the Statements of Operations. Dividends are categorized in accordance with income tax regulations which may treat certain transactions differently than U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. Accordingly, the character of distributions and composition of net assets for tax purposes may differ from those reflected in the accompanying financial statements. The tax character of distributions paid for the six months ended June 30, 2008 and the fiscal year ended December 31, 2007 were as follows (in thousands): MONEY MARKET U.S. GOVERNMENT MONEY MARKET ---------------------------- ---------------------------- SIX MONTHS YEAR ENDED SIX MONTHS YEAR ENDED ENDED DECEMBER 31, ENDED DECEMBER 31, JUNE 30, 2008 2007 JUNE 30, 2008 2007 ------------- ------------ ------------- ------------ (Unaudited) (Unaudited) DISTRIBUTIONS PAID FROM ORDINARY INCOME:* Cash Management Class ................ $10,361 $32,702 $304 $334 Institutional Class .................. 5,814 13,570 -- -- PlanAhead Class ...................... 1,613 6,184 29 94 Platinum Class ....................... -- 543 -- 66 BBH ComSet Class ..................... 24,098 35,047 -- -- ------- ------- ---- ---- TOTAL DISTRIBUTIONS PAID ................ $41,886 $88,046 $333 $494 ======= ======= ==== ==== * For tax purposes short-term capital gains distributions are considered ordinary income distributions. As of June 30, 2008, the components of distributable earnings on a tax basis were the same as book. The cost basis of investments for federal income tax purposes was also the same as the book basis. 14 AMERICAN BEACON FUNDS NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS JUNE 30, 2008 (UNAUDITED) The Funds do not have capital loss carry forwards as of June 30, 2008. 4.

ORGANIZATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES American Beacon Master Trust (the "Trust") is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, as a no load, open-end management investment company that was organized as a trust under the laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts pursuant to a Declaration of Trust dated as of November 1, 2004. Prior to November 1, 2004, the Trust was organized as a trust under the laws of the State of New York. Beneficial interests in the Trust are divided into separate series, each having distinct investment objectives and policies. These financial statements relate to the American Beacon Master Money Market Portfolio and American Beacon Master U.S. Government Money Market Portfolio (each a "Portfolio" and collectively the "Portfolios"). The objective of each Portfolio is current income, liquidity and the maintenance of a stable price of $1.00 per share. The assets of each Portfolio belong only to that Portfolio, and the liabilities of each Portfolio are borne solely by that Portfolio and no other. American Beacon Advisors, Inc. (the "Manager") is a wholly-owned subsidiary of AMR Corporation ("AMR") and was organized in 1986 to provide business management, advisory, administrative and asset management consulting services to the Trust and other investors. On April 16, 2008, AMR, the parent company of the Manager, announced that it had reached a definitive agreement to sell all of its interests in the Manager to Lighthouse Holdings, Inc., which is owned by investment funds affiliated with Pharos Capital Group, LLC and TPG Capital, L.P. AMR will acquire a minority equity stake in the parent corporation of Lighthouse Holdings, Inc. Completion of the sale would result in a change of control of the Manager, but there are no anticipated material changes in the services to be provided by the Manager or in the fee rate charged by the Manager to the Fund. The target closing date for the proposed acquisition is expected to be no later than September 30, 2008. Based in Dallas and Nashville, Pharos Capital Group, LLP invests through private equity funds, primarily in companies seeking later stage equity funding for internal growth, acquisitions, management buyouts or recapitalizations across industry sectors. TPG Capital, L.P. is the global buyout group of TPG, a leading private investment firm with more than $50 billion of assets under management. TPG Capital, L.P. has extensive experience with global public and private investments executed through leveraged buyouts, recapitalizations, spinouts, joint ventures and restructurings. The following is a summary of the significant accounting policies followed by the Portfolios. Valuation of Investments Securities of the Portfolios are valued at amortized cost, which approximates fair value. In the event that a deviation of 1/2 of 1% or more exists between the $1.00 per share price of the Portfolios, calculated at amortized cost, and the price per share calculated by reference to market quotations, or if there is any other deviation that the Trust's Board of Trustees (the "Board") believes would result in a material dilution to shareholders or purchasers, the Board will promptly consider the appropriate action that should be initiated. The Portfolios adopted the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157, "Fair Value Measurements" ("FAS 157"), effective with the beginning of the Portfolios' fiscal year. This standard 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. The three levels of the hierarchy under FAS 157 are described below: Level 1 - Quoted prices in active markets for identical securities. Level 2 - Prices determined using other significant observable inputs. These may include quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, and others. 28 AMERICAN BEACON MASTER TRUST NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS JUNE 30, 2008 (UNAUDITED) Level 3 - Prices determined using significant unobservable inputs. Unobservable inputs reflect the Portfolio's own assumptions about the factors market participants would use in pricing an investment, and would be based on the best information available. A summary of the inputs used to value the Portfolios' net assets as of June 30, 2008 is as follows (in thousands): Investments in Securities ------------------------------ U.S. Government Valuation Inputs Money Market Money Market - ---------------- ------------ --------------- Level 1 - Quoted Prices............................... $ 1,149,326 $ 218 Level 2 - Other significant observable inputs......... 11,729,666 719,582 Level 3 - Significant unobservable inputs............. -- -- ----------- -------- Total................................................. $12,878,992 $719,800 The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities. For example, money market securities are valued using amortized cost, in accordance with rules under the Investment Company Act of 1940. Generally, amortized cost approximates the current fair value of a security, but since the value is not obtained from a quoted price in an active market, such securities are reflected as Level 2. Security Transactions and Investment Income Security transactions are recorded on the trade date of the security purchase or sale. Interest income is earned from settlement date, recorded on the accrual basis, and adjusted, if necessary, for amortization of premiums or accretion of discounts on investment grade short-term securities and zero coupon instruments. For financial and tax reporting purposes, realized gains and losses are determined on the basis of specific lot identification. Federal Income and Excise Taxes The Portfolios will be treated as partnerships for federal income tax purposes. As such, each investor in a Portfolio will be taxed on its share of the Portfolio's ordinary income and capital gains. It is intended that each Portfolio's assets will be managed in such a way that an investor in the Portfolio will be able to satisfy the requirements of subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code. On July 13, 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") released FASB Interpretation No. 48 "Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes" ("FIN 48"). FIN 48 provides guidance on 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 Portfolios' tax returns 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. The Portfolios file tax returns with the U.S. Internal Revenue Service. Generally, the tax authorities can examine all tax returns filed for the last three years. The Portfolios may be subject to taxes imposed by countries in which it invests. Such taxes are generally based on returns on income earned or gains realized or repatriated. Taxes are accrued and applied to net investment income, net realized capital gains and net unrealized appreciation, as applicable, as the income is earned or capital gains are recorded. If applicable, the Portfolios recognize interest accrued related to unrecognized tax benefits in interest expense and penalties in "Other expenses" on the Statements of Operations. The Portfolios adopted the provisions of FIN 48 effective January 1, 2007. Tax positions taken by the Portfolios have been deemed to 29 AMERICAN BEACON MASTER TRUST NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS JUNE 30, 2008 (UNAUDITED) meet the more likely than not threshold, and therefore there have been no adjustments to the Portfolios' net asset value per share. Repurchase Agreements Under the terms of a repurchase agreement, securities are acquired by a Portfolio from a securities dealer or a bank that are subject to resale at a later date. Repurchase agreements are fully collateralized by government securities for the Portfolios. Additionally, repurchase agreements in the Money Market Portfolio may be collateralized by non-government securities. All collateral is valued at cost, which approximates market value and is held at the custodian bank. The collateral is monitored daily by the Manager so that the collateral's market value exceeds the carrying value of the repurchase agreement plus accrued interest. Use of Estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results may differ from those estimated. Other Under the Trust's organizational documents, its officers and directors are indemnified against certain liability arising out of the performance of their duties to the Trust. In the normal course of business, the Trust enters into contracts that provide indemnification to the other party or parties against potential costs or liabilities. The Trust's maximum exposure under these arrangements is dependent on claims that may be made in the future and, therefore, cannot be estimated. The Trust has had no prior claims or losses pursuant to any such agreement. 2. TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES Management Agreement The Trust and the Manager are parties to a Management Agreement that obligates the Manager to provide or oversee the provision of all administrative, investment advisory and portfolio management services. The Manager serves as the sole investment advisor to each of the Portfolios. As compensation for performing the duties required under the Management Agreement, the Manager receives from the Portfolios 0.10% of the average daily net assets of each of the Portfolios. Interfund Lending Program Pursuant to an exemptive order by the Securities and Exchange Commission, the Portfolios, along with other registered investment companies having management contracts with the Manager, may participate in an interfund lending program. This program provides an alternative credit facility allowing the Money Market Portfolio to lend money to other participating series managed by the Manager. For the six months ended June 30, 2008, the credit facility was not utilized. 30 DISCLOSURE REGARDING THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES' APPROVAL OF THE MANAGEMENT AGREEMENTS OF THE FUNDS AND THE PORTFOLIOS (UNAUDITED) At its May 21, 2008 meeting, the Board of Trustees ("Board" or "Trustees") considered the renewal of each existing Management Agreement (each, a "Current Agreement" and collectively, the "Current Agreements") between the Manager and the American Beacon Funds ("Beacon Trust"), American Beacon Mileage Funds ("Mileage Trust"), American Beacon Select Funds ("Select Trust") or American Beacon Master Trust ("Master Trust") (collectively, the "Funds"). In preparation for the Board's consideration to renew these Current Agreements, the Board and its Investment Committee undertook steps to gather and consider information furnished by the Manager and Lipper, Inc. ("Lipper"). The Board, with the assistance of independent legal counsel, requested and received certain relevant information from the Manager. In addition, the Board's Investment Committee worked with Lipper to obtain relevant comparative information regarding the performance, fees and expenses of the Funds. The Investment Committee held a separate meeting on May 9, 2008 to consider the information provided by Lipper. Further, the Board took into consideration information furnished for the Board's review and consideration throughout the year at regular Board and Investment Committee meetings, as well as information specifically prepared in connection with the renewal process. On May 21, May 22 and June 4, 2008, the Board met to determine, among other matters, whether to approve a new investment management agreement ("New Agreement") between the Manager and the Funds. The New Agreement is necessary because, on April 16, 2008, AMR Corporation ("AMR"), the parent company of the Manager, entered into an agreement with Lighthouse Holdings, Inc. ("Lighthouse") pursuant to which Lighthouse will acquire all of the capital stock of the Manager ("Transaction") in exchange for cash and 10% of the capital stock of the parent corporation of Lighthouse. Upon the closing of the Transaction ("Closing"), the Manager will cease to be a wholly owned subsidiary of AMR and will become a subsidiary of Lighthouse. This change in control is deemed to be an "assignment" under the Investment Company Act of 1940 ("1940 Act") of each Fund's Current Agreement with the Manager. As required by the 1940 Act, each Fund's Current Agreement provides for its automatic termination in the event of an assignment, and each will, therefore, terminate upon the Closing. To provide for the continuity of management for the Funds, the Board met to consider the New Agreement with the Manager. The New Agreement for each Fund will reflect substantially the same terms as the Current Agreement for each Fund. In addition, the Current Agreements have been updated and modernized. As part of this process, the primary administrative services provided by the Manager to the Funds will be transferred to one single administrative services agreement ("New Administrative Services Agreement"). Currently, the Manager provides administrative services to the Funds in Mileage Trust, Select Trust and Master Trust pursuant to their Current Agreements and to the Funds in Beacon Trust pursuant to its Current Agreement and an Administrative Services Agreement ("Current Administrative Services Agreement"). The aggregate fee rates for each Fund under the New Agreement and the New Administrative Services Agreement will be the same as the fee rates imposed under the existing agreements which they replace. The New Agreement is subject to shareholder approval. If approved by the shareholders of the Funds, the New Agreement will become effective upon the Closing or, if the Closing is not consummated, the New Agreement will become effective on or about January 1, 2009. The Manager and Lighthouse anticipate that the Closing will occur in the third calendar quarter of 2008. Upon the Closing, Lighthouse directly will control the Manager. Lighthouse currently does not anticipate any changes to the organization or structure of the Funds, to the service providers or to the aggregate fee rates under any Current Agreement. In addition, the portfolio managers at the Manager that currently manage the Funds are expected to continue to manage the Funds after the Closing. In that regard, the Manager and Lighthouse have entered into or will enter into employment contracts that will take effect 31 DISCLOSURE REGARDING THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES' APPROVAL OF THE MANAGEMENT AGREEMENTS OF THE FUNDS AND THE PORTFOLIOS (UNAUDITED) upon the Closing with certain key personnel performing or overseeing the Funds' investment programs. However, there can be no assurance that these personnel will choose to remain employed by the Manager before or after the Closing. The Manager and the Funds will continue to operate under their existing names. Potential benefits to the Funds as a result of the Transaction include Lighthouse's intention to devote additional resources to product development and distribution of Fund shares. Any resulting growth of Fund assets may produce economies of scale that could benefit shareholders of the Funds. In addition, under the Current Agreements, the Manager may retain subadvisors to provide investment advisory services for all or a portion of the assets of a Fund. Pursuant to an exemptive order issued by the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"), the Manager is permitted to enter into new or modified investment advisory agreements with existing or new subadvisors ("New Investment Advisory Agreements") without approval of a Fund's shareholders, but subject to the approval of a Fund's Board. In preparation for the Board's consideration to approve the New Agreement, the Board held preliminary conference call meetings on April 15, 16 and 21, 2008, to discuss the New Agreement and the effect that approving the New Agreement would have on the Funds. The Board, with the assistance of independent legal counsel, received a memorandum and related advice from their legal counsel detailing the Board's responsibilities in considering the New Agreement. In connection with Board's consideration of the Current Agreement and New Agreement, the Trustees considered, among other materials, responses by the Manager to inquiries requesting: - a description of the Transaction, the effects of the Transaction on the Trusts and the Board, and any proposed changes to the Trusts, their service providers or fee structure and other information; - a description of any significant changes (actual or anticipated) to principal activities, personnel, services provided to the Funds, or any other area, including how these changes might affect the Funds; - a copy of the firm's Form ADV registration statement with the SEC; - a summary of any material past, pending or anticipated litigation or regulatory proceedings involving the firm or its personnel, including the results of any recent regulatory examination or independent audit; - a profit/loss analysis of the firm and any actual or anticipated economies of scale in relation to the services it provides to each Fund; - a description of any payments by the firm to support the Funds' marketing efforts; - an analysis of compensation, including a comparison with fees charged to other clients for which similar services are provided, any proposed changes to the fee schedule and the effect of any fee waivers; - an evaluation of other benefits to the firm or Funds as a result of their relationship, if any; - confirmation that the firm's financial condition does not raise concerns that the firm would be unable to continue providing the same scope and quality of services to the Funds; - a description of the scope of portfolio management services provided to the Funds and the firm's other clients, including other registered investment companies, whether such services differ, and any advantages or disadvantages that might accrue to the Funds due to the firm's involvement in other activities; - a description of the personnel who are assigned primary responsibility for managing the Funds, including any changes during the past year, and a discussion of the adequacy of current and projected staffing levels to service the Funds; - a description of the basis upon which portfolio managers are compensated, including any "incentive" arrangements; - a discussion regarding the firm's participation in "soft dollar" arrangements, if any, or other brokerage allocation policies with respect to Fund transactions, including the firm's methodology for obtaining the most favorable execution and the use of any affiliated broker-dealers; 32 DISCLOSURE REGARDING THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES' APPROVAL OF THE MANAGEMENT AGREEMENTS OF THE FUNDS AND THE PORTFOLIOS (UNAUDITED) - a discussion of whether the firm receives, with respect to the Funds, other compensation, including any payment for order flow or ECN liquidity rebates; - a description of any actual or potential conflicts of interest anticipated in managing Fund assets; - a summary of any material changes to the firm's compliance program with regard to federal, state, corporate and Fund requirements and a certification regarding the reasonable design of the compliance program; - a discussion of any material compliance problems and remedial actions; - information regarding the firm's code of ethics, insider trading policy and disaster recovery plan, including a description of any material changes thereto; - a description of the firm's affiliation with any broker-dealer; - a discussion of any anticipated change in the firm's controlling persons; - verification of the firm's insurance coverage with regard to the services provided to the Funds; - a comparison of the performance of each Fund to comparable investment companies and appropriate indices, including comments on the relative performance of each Fund versus the respective peer group average; - a discussion, if applicable, of any underperformance by a Fund relative to its peer group and what, if any, remedial measures the Manager has or intends to take; - a comparison of advisory fees and expense ratios for comparable mutual funds; - an analysis of any material complaints received from Fund shareholders; - a description of the Manager's securities lending practices and the fees received from such practices; - a description of any revenue sharing activities with respect to the Funds; - a discussion of any rebate arrangements between the Manager and a service provider to the Funds pursuant to which the Manager receives direct or indirect benefits from the service provider; - a description of the portfolio turnover rate and average execution costs for each Fund; and - a description of how expenses that are not readily identifiable to a particular Fund are allocated. In connection with the Current Agreements and New Agreement, the Board also obtained an analysis provided by Lipper that compared: (i) investment performance of each Fund versus comparable investment companies and appropriate indices; (ii) total Fund expenses of each Fund versus comparable mutual funds, and (iii) each Fund's investment advisory fees versus comparable mutual funds. For each Fund with more than one class of shares, the class of shares used for comparative purposes was the class with the longest performance history, which in most cases was the Institutional Class. References below to each Fund's Lipper peer group are to the group of comparable mutual funds included in the analysis provided by Lipper. The Current Agreements and New Agreement are each referenced to herein as an "Agreement" and collectively, the "Agreements." The Trustees also received memoranda from their legal counsel detailing the Board's responsibilities pertaining to the approval of each Agreement. These memoranda explained the regulatory requirements surrounding the Trustees' process for evaluating investment advisors and the terms of the contracts. In connection with the Board's consideration of the New Agreement, the Trustees considered, among other information, the following factors, in addition to other factors noted in the Proxy Statement: (1) The manner in which each Fund's assets are managed will not change as a result of the Transaction, and the same people who currently manage the Fund's assets are expected to continue to do so after the Transaction; (2) The aggregate fee rates payable by each Fund under the New Agreement and the New Administrative Services Agreement are the same as the fee rates payable under the Current Agreements and, in the case of the Beacon Trust, under the Current Agreement and the Current Administrative Services Agreement; 33 DISCLOSURE REGARDING THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES' APPROVAL OF THE MANAGEMENT AGREEMENTS OF THE FUNDS AND THE PORTFOLIOS (UNAUDITED) (3) The material terms regarding advisory services pursuant to the New Agreement are substantially the same as the terms of the Current Agreements; (4) The qualifications of the Manager's personnel who will provide advisory and administrative services to the Funds are not expected to change; (5) The Manager's financial condition and the post-Closing capitalization of Lighthouse; (6) The impact of the Transaction on the Manager's day-to-day operations; (7) The capabilities, experience, corporate structure and capital resources of Lighthouse; (8) The long-term business goals of Lighthouse with regard to the Manager and the Trusts; (9) Fund shareholders will not bear any costs in connection with the Transaction, inasmuch as AMR and Lighthouse will bear equally the costs, fees and expenses incurred by the Funds in connection with the Proxy Statement, the fees and expenses of accountants and attorneys relating to the Transaction and Proxy Statement, the fees and expenses incurred by the Funds in connection with the Transaction, and the meeting fees of the Boards for meetings held in connection with the Transaction; (10) The Funds may realize benefits as a result of the Transaction, including long-term economies of scale; and (11) The potential for increased costs to the Trusts in order to satisfy existing obligations under the current Trustees' retirement plan. Provided below is an overview of the other primary factors the Board considered at its May 21, May 22 and June 4, 2008 meetings. The Board did not identify any particular information that was most relevant to its consideration to renew the Current Agreements and approve the New Agreement, and each Trustee may have afforded different weight to the various factors. Legal counsel to the Non-interested Trustees provided the Board with memoranda regarding its responsibilities pertaining to the renewal of the Current Agreements and approval of the New Agreement. Based on its evaluation, the Board unanimously concluded that the terms of each Current Agreement were reasonable and fair and that the renewal of each Current Agreement was in the best interests of each Fund and its shareholders. The Board also unanimously concluded that the terms of the New Agreement were reasonable and fair and that the approval of the New Agreement was in the best interests of each Fund and its shareholders. CONSIDERATIONS WITH RESPECT TO ALL FUNDS In determining whether to renew the Current Agreement and approve the New Agreement, the Trustees considered the best interests of each Fund separately. While the Current Agreements for all of the Funds were considered at the Board meetings on May 21, 2008, and the New Agreement for all of the Funds was considered at the meetings on May 21, May 22 and June 4, 2008, the Board considered each Fund's investment management relationships separately. In each instance, the Board considered, among other things, the following factors: (1) the nature and quality of the services provided; (2) the investment performance of a Fund; (3) the costs incurred by the Manager in rendering its services and its resulting profits or losses; (4) the extent to which economies of scale have been taken into account in setting each fee schedule; (5) whether fee levels reflect these economies of scale for the benefit of Fund investors; (6) comparisons of services and fees with contracts entered into by the Manager with other clients (such as pension funds and other institutional funds); and (7) any other benefits derived or anticipated to be derived by the Manager from its relationship with a Fund. The Trustees posed questions to various management personnel of the Manager and Lighthouse regarding certain key aspects of the materials submitted in support of the renewal. Nature, Extent and Quality of Services. With respect to the renewal of each Fund's Current Agreement and the approval of each Fund's New Agreement, the Board considered: the background and experience of key investment personnel and the Manager's ability to retain them; the Manager's disciplined investment approach and goal to provide consistent above average long-term performance at a low cost; the Manager's continuing 34 DISCLOSURE REGARDING THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES' APPROVAL OF THE MANAGEMENT AGREEMENTS OF THE FUNDS AND THE PORTFOLIOS (UNAUDITED) efforts to add new series and share classes to enhance the Funds' product line; the Manager's record in building improved compliance, control and credit functions that reduce risks to the Funds; the addition of personnel to manage the Funds, promote sales and improve services, including the addition of a separate new information technology (IT) department at the Manager; the high rankings received by the Funds in service surveys. Based on the foregoing information, the Board concluded that the nature, extent and quality of the management and advisory services provided by the Manager were appropriate for each Fund and, thus, determined to renew the Current Agreements and approve the New Agreement for each Fund. Investment Performance. The Board evaluated the comparative information provided by Lipper and the Manager regarding each Fund's investment performance relative to its benchmark index(es) and peer group. The Board considered the information provided by Lipper regarding its independent peer selection methodology to select all peer groups and universes. The Board also considered the performance reports and discussions with management at Board and Committee meetings throughout the year. A discussion regarding the Board's considerations with respect to each Fund's performance appears below under "Additional Considerations and Conclusions with Respect to Each Fund." Costs of the Services to be Provided to the Funds and the Projected Profits to be Realized by the Manager from its Relationship with the Funds. In analyzing the cost of services and profitability of the Manager by Fund, the Board considered the revenues earned and the expenses incurred by the Manager. The profits or losses were noted at both an individual Fund level and at an aggregate level for all Funds. The Board also considered that the Current and New Agreements for the Beacon Trust, Mileage Trust and Select Trust stipulate that, to the extent that a Fund invests all of its investable assets in another registered investment company (i.e., is a Feeder Fund), the Fund will not pay the Manager a management fee. Because the money market series of the Beacon Trust, Mileage Trust and Select Trust operate as Feeder Funds with respect to the Master Trust, the Manager only receives a management fee from the Master Trust. With respect to the Money Market Funds, the Board also considered the Manager's advisory fees for services provided by the Manager to institutional separate accounts with similar investment strategies. Although the Board noted that, in certain cases, the fee rates paid by other clients is lower than the fee rates paid by the Funds, the difference reflects the greater level of responsibility and regulatory requirements associated with managing the Funds. The Board also noted that the Manager proposed to continue the expense waivers and reimbursements for certain Funds and classes that were in place during the last fiscal year. The Board considered that the Manager receives service and administrative fees to compensate the Manager for providing administrative services to the Funds and to compensate third-party administrators and broker-dealers for services to Fund shareholders. The Board also noted that certain classes of the Funds maintain higher expense ratios in order to compensate third-party distributors. Based on the foregoing information, the Board concluded that the profitability levels were reasonable in light of the services performed by the Manager. A discussion regarding the Board's considerations with respect to each Fund's fee rates is set forth below under "Additional Considerations and Conclusions with Respect to Each Fund." Economies of Scale. In considering the reasonableness of the management fees, the Board considered whether economies of scale will be realized as the Funds grow and whether fee levels reflect these economies of scale for the benefit of Fund shareholders. The Board noted that certain Funds have grown their shareholder base, which has spread fixed costs over a larger shareholder and asset base. With respect to the Money Market Funds, the Board also noted that, although the fee schedules for these Funds do not have breakpoints, the effective advisory fee rates are low by industry standards and the performance of these Funds has been highly competitive and, in many cases, among the top performers among similar funds. The Board also considered the Manager's representations that its costs have increased due primarily to greater service provider and regulatory costs. The Manager also represented that it anticipates further 35 DISCLOSURE REGARDING THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES' APPROVAL OF THE MANAGEMENT AGREEMENTS OF THE FUNDS AND THE PORTFOLIOS (UNAUDITED) economies of scale would be largely offset by higher costs of adding and retaining qualified personnel, improving technology and increasing demands on its advisory business. Based on the foregoing information, the Board concluded that the Manager fee schedules for each Fund provides for a reasonable sharing of benefits from any economies of scale with the Fund. Benefits Derived from the Relationship with the Funds. The Board considered the "fall-out" or ancillary benefits that accrue to the Manager as a result of the advisory relationships with the Funds, including greater exposure in the marketplace with respect to the Manager's investment process and expanding the level of assets under management by the Manager. The Board also considered that the Manager's relationship with the Funds and, in particular the money market funds, continues to be a significant factor in attracting separate account assets for the Manager. In addition, the Board noted that the Manager provides services to each Trust at a relatively low cost. The Board also considered that Funds did not pay commissions to any affiliated broker-dealer of the Manager during the most recent fiscal year ended December 31, 2007. Based on the foregoing information, the Board concluded that the potential benefits accruing to the Manager by virtue of its relationships with the Funds appear to be fair and reasonable. ADDITIONAL CONSIDERATIONS AND CONCLUSIONS WITH RESPECT TO EACH FUND The performance comparisons below were made versus each Fund's respective Lipper Average, which includes all comparable funds in the Lipper category, and the Lipper Index, which includes the 30 largest funds in the Lipper category. References to the Lipper expense group below are to the group of comparable mutual funds included in the analysis provided to the Trustees by Lipper, Inc. ADDITIONAL CONSIDERATIONS AND CONCLUSIONS WITH RESPECT TO THE MONEY MARKET FUND In considering the renewal of the Current Agreement and the approval of the New Agreement, the Trustees considered the following additional factors: (1) the Institutional Class of the Beacon Trust slightly underperformed the Lipper Index and outperformed the Lipper Average for all reported periods ended March 31, 2008; (2) the total expense ratio and contractual management fees of the Institutional Class of Beacon Trust shares were both lower than its Lipper expense group average; (3) the Manager is subject to a high degree of risk of financial responsibility should the Fund be unable to maintain a stable $1.00 per share net asset value; (4) the Manager's explanation that fee schedule "breakpoints" were not warranted due to, among other factors, the low base management fee charged to the Fund; and (5) the Manager has contractually agreed to waive fees and/or reimburse Fund expenses to the extent necessary to maintain a competitive total expense ratio for the Institutional, Cash Management and BBH ComSet Classes of the Beacon Trust. Based on these and other considerations, the Trustees (1) concluded that the fees paid to the Manager under the Agreements are fair and reasonable, (2) determined that the Fund and its shareholders would benefit from the Manager's continued management of the Fund, (3) approved the renewal of the Current Agreement and (4) approved the New Agreement with respect to the Fund. ADDITIONAL CONSIDERATIONS AND CONCLUSIONS WITH RESPECT TO THE U.S. GOVERNMENT MONEY MARKET FUND In considering the renewal of the Current Agreement and the approval of the New Agreement, the Trustees considered the following additional factors: (1) the U.S. Government Money Market Fund was ranked as the 16th best institutional U.S. Government money market fund among 170 funds for the one year ending March 31, 2008 according to Lipper Analytical Services; (2) the Fund's total return of 4.69% outperformed the Lipper Institutional U.S. Government Money Fund Average return of 4.44%; (3) the Fund was ranked in the first quartile for the one, three and five year period ended March 31, 2008; and (4) similar to the Money Market Fund, and for the same reasons, this Fund maintained a relatively short weighted-average maturity throughout 36 DISCLOSURE REGARDING THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES' APPROVAL OF THE MANAGEMENT AGREEMENTS OF THE FUNDS AND THE PORTFOLIOS (UNAUDITED) 2007. This strategy was accomplished primarily by purchasing short-dated fixed rate agencies, variable rate agencies and overnight repurchase agreements. Based on these and other considerations, the Trustees (1) concluded that the fees paid to the Manager under the Agreements are fair and reasonable, (2) determined that the Fund and its shareholders would benefit from the Manager's continued management of the Fund, (3) approved the renewal of the Current Agreement and (4) approved the New Agreement with respect to the Fund. 37 (THIS PAGE INTENTIONALLY LEFT BLANK) 38 (THIS PAGE INTENTIONALLY LEFT BLANK) 39 (THIS PAGE INTENTIONALLY LEFT BLANK) 40 (THIS PAGE INTENTIONALLY LEFT BLANK) 41 (AMERICAN BEACON FUNDS(SM) LOGO) DELIVERY OF DOCUMENT To reduce expenses, your financial institution may mail only one copy of the Prospectus, Annual Report and Semi-Annual Report to those addresses shared by two or more accounts.

Various inputs are used in determining the fair value of investments, which are as follows: o Level 1 - price quotations in active markets/exchanges for identical securities o Level 2 - other observable inputs (including, but not limited to: quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the assets or liabilities (such as interest rates, yield curves, volatilities, prepayment speeds, loss severities, credit risks, and default rates) or other market-corroborated inputs) o Level 3 - unobservable inputs based on the best information available in the circumstance, to the extent observable inputs are not available (including the Series' own assumption used 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. For information about the Series' policy regarding valuation of investments and other significant accounting policies, please refer to the Series' most recent financial statements as contained in its semiannual report. The following table summarizes the inputs used as of June 30, 2008 in determining the fair valuation of the Series' investments: -------------------------------------------------------------------- Valuation Investments in Other Financial Inputs Securities Instruments* -------------------------------------------------------------------- Level 1 $ 501,711,001 $ (2,239,321) Level 2 99,010,162 -- Level 3 -- -- -------------------------------------------------------------------- Total $ 600,721,163 $ (2,239,321) ==================================================================== * Other financial instruments are futures.

FAS 157 clarifies the definition of fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair values and requires additional disclosures about the use of fair value measurements. Various inputs are used in determining the fair value of investments, which are as follows: o Level 1 - price quotations in active markets/exchanges for identical securities o Level 2 - other observable inputs (including, but not limited to: quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the assets or liabilities (such as interest rates, yield curves, volatilities, prepayment speeds, loss severities, credit risks, and default rates) or other market-corroborated inputs) o Level 3 - unobservable inputs based on the best information available in the circumstance, to the extent observable inputs are not available (including the Series' own assumption used 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. For information about the Series' policy regarding valuation of investments and other significant accounting policies, please refer to the Series' most recent financial statements as contained in its semiannual report. The following table summarizes the inputs used as of June 30, 2008 in determining the fair valuation of the Series' investments: ------------------------------------------------------------------- Valuation Investments in Other Financial Inputs Securities Instruments* ------------------------------------------------------------------- Level 1 $ 41,426,133 $ (765,944) Level 2 1,034,077,783 207,107 Level 3 -- -- ------------------------------------------------------------------- Total $1,075,503,916 $ (558,837) =================================================================== * Other financial instruments are futures and forward foreign currency contracts. 30 ITEM 7.
