A Letter to Shareholders

Dear Shareholder

The present time may well be remembered as one of the most tumultuous periods in financial market history. Over the past year, the bursting of the housing bubble and the resultant credit crisis swelled into an all-out global financial market meltdown that featured the collapse of storied financial firms, volatile swings in the world’s financial markets and monumental government responses designed to prop up the economy and stabilize the financial system.

The US economy appeared relatively resilient through the first half of 2008, when rising food and energy prices stoked fears of inflation. The tenor changed dramatically in the second half, as inflationary pressure subsided amid plummeting oil prices, while economic pressures escalated in the midst of a rapid deterioration in consumer spending, employment and other key indicators. By period-end, the National Bureau of Economic Research had confirmed what most already knew — the United States was in a recession, which officially began in December 2007. The Federal Reserve Board (the “Fed”), after slashing interest rates aggressively in the early months of the year, resumed that rate-cutting campaign in the fall, with the final reduction in Decem-ber bringing the target federal funds rate to a record low range of between zero and 0.25%. Importantly, the central bank pledged that future policy moves to revive the global economy and financial markets would comprise primarily of nontraditional and quantitative easing measures, such as capital injections, lending programs and government guarantees.

Against this backdrop, US equity markets experienced intense volatility, with periods of downward pressure punctuated by sharp rebounds. Declines were significant and broad-based, though smaller cap stocks posted somewhat better relative performance. Non-US stocks started off the year stronger, but quickly lost ground as the credit crisis revealed itself to be global in nature and as the global economy turned south. Overall, domestic equities notched better results than non-US equities, reversing the prior years’ trend of international equity outperformance.

In fixed income markets, investors shunned risky assets and sought the safety and liquidity of US Treasury issues. Prices soared, while yields fell to record lows, with the Treasury sector topping all other asset classes over the reporting period. Amid spillover from historic events in the financial sector, municipals contended with fewer market participants, lack of liquidity, a challenging funding environment and a backlog of new-issue supply, all of which contributed to the sector’s underperformance relative to taxable issues. At the same time, economic turmoil combined with dislocated credit markets and substantial technical pressures resulted in the worst year on record for the high yield market.

In all, an investor flight to safety prevailed, as evidenced in the six- and 12-month returns of the major benchmark indexes:

Fund Summary

 


Portfolio Management Commentary



 

 

 

How did the Fund perform?

 

 

For the 12 months ended December 31, 2008, the Fund, through its investment in Master Small Cap Index Series (the “Series”), generated returns that generally tracked that of the benchmark Russell 2000 Index, a market-weighted index composed of approximately 2,000 common stocks issued by small-capitalization US companies in a range of businesses.

 

 

Returns for the Fund’s respective share classes differ from the benchmark based on individual share-class expenses.

 

 

 

Describe the market environment.

 

 

2008 turned out to be a year investors would like to forget, but instead will vividly remember. The economy and financial markets remained relatively resilient throughout the first part of the year before collapsing outright in September, producing the worst year for stocks since The Great Depression. With the exception of government bonds and cash, nearly every asset class, including stocks, credit-related fixed income, commodities and real estate, saw sharp declines. Credit issues dominated the financial headlines, resulting in the collapse of several storied financial institutions. Government responses around the world were rapid and inventive, with the US Federal Reserve and other policymakers adopting new lending and asset purchase programs in an effort to restore some measure of liquidity to the system.

 

 

The Federal Reserve Board (the “Fed”), after slashing interest rates aggressively in the early months of 2008, resumed that rate-cutting campaign in the fall, bringing the target federal funds rate to a “target range” of between zero and 0.25% on December 16, its lowest level in history. The Fed acknowledged that “weak economic conditions are likely to warrant exceptionally low levels of the federal funds rate for some time,” and indicated that it will continue to pursue unconventional policies of quantitative easing (in which the Fed injects cash into the financial system by purchasing assets).

 

 

In this environment, all 10 sectors within the Russell 2000 Index posted negative returns. Losses were most prominent in telecommunication services, which lost 49.7% for the year. Energy and consumer discretionary were also hit hard, declining 49.5% and 47.6%, respectively. At the top were the defensive utilities and consumer staples sectors, which posted comparatively smaller losses of 11.3% and 17.9%, respectively.

 

 

 

Describe recent portfolio activity.

 

 

Throughout the 12-month period,as changes were made to the composition of the Russell 2000 Index, the portfolio purchased and sold securities to maintain its objective of replicating the risks and return of the benchmark.

 

 

 

Describe portfolio positioning at period end.

 

 

In keeping with its investment objective,the portfolio remains positioned to match the risk characteristics of its benchmark, irrespective of the market’s future direction.

For each class of the Fund, expenses are equal to the annualized expense ratio for the class (0.54% for Institutional and 0.82% for Investor A), multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 184/366 (to reflect the one-half year period shown). Because the Fund is a feeder fund, the expense table example reflects the expenses of both the feeder fund and the master portfolio in which it invests.

 

 

2

Hypothetical 5% annual return before expenses is calculated by pro-rating the number of days in the most recent fiscal half year divided by 366.

 

 

 

See “Disclosure of Expenses” on page 6 for further information on how expenses were calculated.

About Fund Performance

 

 

Institutional Shares are not subject to any sales charge.Institutional Shares bear no ongoing distribution or service fees and are available only to eligible investors.

 

 

Investor A Shares are not subject to any sales charge and bear no ongoing distribution fee. Investor A Shares are subject to an ongoing service fee of 0.25% per year.

 

 

 

Performance information reflects past performance and does not guarantee future results. Current performance may be lower or higher than the performance data quoted. Refer to www.blackrock.com/funds to obtain performance data current to the most recent month-end. Performance results do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on fund distributions or the redemption of fund shares. Figures shown in the performance tables on page 5 assume reinvestment of all dividends and capital gain distributions, if any, at net asset value on the ex-dividend date. Investment return and principal value of shares will fluctuate so that shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Dividends paid to each class of shares will vary because of the different levels of service and transfer agency fees applicable to each class, which are deducted from the income available to be paid to shareholders.


 


Disclosure of Expenses

Shareholders of this Fund may incur the following charges: (a) expenses related to transactions, including sales charges, redemption fees and exchange fees; and (b) operating expenses including advisory fees, distribution fees including 12b-1 fees and other Fund expenses. The expense example on page 4 (which is based on a hypothetical investment of $1,000 invested on July 1, 2008 and held through December 31, 2008) is intended to assist shareholders both in calculating expenses based on an investment in the Fund and in comparing these expenses with similar costs of investing in other mutual funds.

The table provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. In order to estimate the expenses a shareholder paid during the period covered by this report, shareholders can divide their account value by $1,000 and then multiply the result by the number corresponding to their share class under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During the Period.”

The table also provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses. In order to assist shareholders in comparing the ongoing expenses of investing in this Fund and other funds, compare the 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in other funds’ shareholder reports.

The expenses shown in the table are intended to highlight shareholders’ ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional expenses, such as sales charges, redemption fees or exchange fees. Therefore, the hypothetical example is useful in comparing ongoing expenses only, and will not help shareholders determine the relative total expenses of owning different funds. If these transactional expenses were included, shareholder expenses would have been higher.

BLACKROCK SMALL CAP INDEX FUND

DECEMBER 31, 2008



 

 


Notes to Financial Statements

BlackRock Small Cap Index Fund

1. Organization and Significant Accounting Policies:

BlackRock Small Cap Index Fund (the “Fund”), a series of BlackRock Index Funds, Inc. (the “Corporation”), is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), as a non-diversified, open-end management investment company. The Corporation is organized as a Maryland corporation. The Fund seeks to achieve its investment objective by investing all of its assets in Master Small Cap Index Series (the “Series”) of Quantitative Master Series LLC (the “Master LLC”), which has the same investment objective and strategies as the Fund. The value of the Fund’s investment in the Series reflects the Fund’s proportionate interest in the net assets of the Series. The performance of the Fund is directly affected by the performance of the Series. The financial statements of the Series, including the Summary Schedule of Investments, are included elsewhere in this report and should be read in conjunction with the Fund’s financial statements. The Fund’s 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 percentage of the Series owned by the Fund at December 31, 2008 was 22%. The Fund offers two classes of shares. Institutional and Investor A Shares are sold without the imposition of a front-end or deferred sales charge. Both classes of shares have identical voting, dividend, liquidation and other rights and the same terms and conditions, except that Investor A Shares bear certain expenses related to the shareholder servicing of such shares and have exclusive voting rights with respect to matters relating to its shareholder servicing expenditures.

The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by the Fund:

Valuation of Investments: The Fund records its investment in the Series at fair value. Valuation of securities held by the Series is discussed in Note 1 of the Series’ Notes to Financial Statements, which are included elsewhere in this report.

Effective January 1, 2008, the Fund implemented Financial Accounting Standards Board Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements” (“FAS 157”). 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 foridentical 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 Fund’s own assumptions 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.

The following table summarizes the inputs used as of December 31, 2008 in determining the fair valuation of the Fund’s investments:

Investment Transactions and Net Investment Income: Investment transactions in the Series are accounted for on a trade date basis. The Fund records daily its proportionate share of the Series’ income, expenses and realized and unrealized gains and losses. In addition, the Fund accrues its own expenses. Income, realized and unrealized gains and losses are allocated daily to each class based on its relative net assets.

Dividends and Distributions to Shareholders: Dividends and distributions paid by the Fund are recorded on the ex-dividend dates.

Income Taxes: It is the Fund’s policy to comply with the requirements of the Internal Revenue Code applicable to regulated investment companies and to distribute substantially all of its taxable income to its shareholders. Therefore, no federal income tax provision is required.

The Fund files US federal and various state and local tax returns. No income tax returns are currently under examination. The statute of limitations on the Fund’s US federal tax returns remains open for the years ended December 31, 2005 through December 31, 2007. The statutes of limitations on the Fund’s state and local tax returns may remain open for an additional year depending upon the jurisdiction.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements: 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,

 

 

 




BLACKROCK SMALL CAP INDEX FUND

DECEMBER 31, 2008

Notes to Financial Statements (continued)

BlackRock Small Cap Index Fund

how derivatives are accounted for, and how derivative instruments affect an entity’s results of operations and financial position. FAS 161 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after November 15, 2008. The impact on the Fund’s financial statement disclosures, if any, is currently being assessed.

Other: Expenses directly related to the Fund or its classes are charged to that Fund or class. Other operating expenses shared by several funds are pro-rated among those funds on the basis of relative net assets or other appropriate methods. Other expenses of the Fund are allocated daily to each class based on its relative net assets.

2. Transactions with Affiliates:

The Corporation has entered into an Administration Agreement with BlackRock Advisors, LLC (the “Administrator”). The Fund pays the Administrator a monthly fee at an annual rate of 0.29% of the average daily value of the Fund’s net assets for the performance of administrative services (other than investment advice and related portfolio activities) necessary for the operation of the Fund. Merrill Lynch & Co., Inc. (“Merrill Lynch”) and The PNC Financial Services Group, Inc. (“PNC”) are the largest stockholders of BlackRock, Inc. As of December 31, 2008, Merrill Lynch and PNC are affiliates of BlackRock, Inc.

The Administrator has entered into a voluntary arrangement with the Fund under which the expenses incurred by each class of shares of the Fund (excluding service fees) will not exceed 0.60%. This arrangement has a one-year term and is renewable.

Effective October 1, 2008, the Fund entered into a Distribution Agreement and Distribution Plan with BlackRock Investments, Inc. (“BII”), which replaced FAM Distributors, Inc. (“FAMD”) and BlackRock Distributors, Inc. and its affiliates (“BDI”) (collectively, the “Distributor”) as the sole distributor of the Fund. FAMD is a wholly owned subsidiary of Merrill Lynch Group, Inc. BII and BDI are affiliates of BlackRock, Inc. The service fees did not change as a result of this transaction.

Pursuant to the Account Maintenance Plan adopted by the Corporation in accordance with Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act, the Fund pays the Distributor an ongoing service fee with respect to Investor A Shares. The fee is accrued daily and paid monthly at the annual rate of 0.25% based upon the average daily net assets of Investor A Shares.

Pursuant to sub-agreements with the Distributor, broker-dealers, including Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith Incorporated, a wholly owned subsidiary of Merrill Lynch, and the Distributor provide shareholder servicing to the Fund. The ongoing service fee compensates the Distributor and each broker-dealer for providing shareholder servicing to Investor A shareholders.

PNC Global Investment Servicing (US) Inc., formerly PFPC Inc., an indirect, wholly owned subsidiary of PNC and an affiliate of the Administrator, serves as transfer agent and dividend disbursing agent. Each class of the Fund bears the costs of transfer agent fees associated with such respective classes. Transfer agency fees borne by each class of the Fund are comprised of those fees charged for all shareholder communications including mailing of shareholder reports, dividend and distribution notices, and proxy materials for shareholders meetings, as well as per account and per transaction fees related to servicing and maintenance of shareholder accounts, including the issuing, redeeming and transferring of shares of each class of the Fund, 12b-1 fee calculation, check writing, anti-money laundering services, and customer identification services.

Pursuant to written agreements, certain affiliates provide the Fund with sub-accounting, recordkeeping, sub-transfer agency and other administrative services with respect to sub-accounts they service. For these services, these affiliates receive an annual fee per shareholder account which will vary depending on share class. For the year ended December 31, 2008, the Fund paid $55,167 in return for these services, which is a component of transfer agent fees in the accompanying Statement of Operations.

The Fund may earn income on positive cash balances in demand deposit accounts that are maintained by the transfer agent on behalf of the Fund. For the year ended December 31, 2008, the Fund earned $80, which is included in income — affiliated in the Statement of Operations.

The Administrator maintains a call center, which is responsible for providing certain shareholder services to the Fund, such as responding to shareholder inquiries and processing transactions based upon instructions from shareholders with respect to the subscription and redemption of Fund shares. During the year ended December 31, 2008, the Fund reimbursed the Administrator the following amounts for costs incurred running the call center, which are a component of the transfer agent fees in the accompanying Statement of Operations.

The difference between book-basis and tax-basis net unrealized gains is attributable primarily to the tax deferral of losses on wash sales, the realization for tax purposes of unrealized gains on investments in passive foreign investment companies, the realization for tax purposes of unrealized gains/losses on certain futures contracts, the deferral of post-October capital losses for tax purposes and the difference between book and tax treatment of certain stock lending transactions.

5. Subsequent Event:

On January 1, 2009, Bank of America Corporation announced that it had completed its acquisition of Merrill Lynch, one of the largest stockholders of BlackRock, Inc.

For Series compliance purposes, the Series’ sector classifications refer to any one or more of the sector sub-classifications used by one or more widely recognized market indexes, and/or as defined by Series management. This definition may not apply for purposes of this report, which may combine sector sub-classifications for reporting ease.

 


 

Derivative Instruments

The Series may invest in various derivative instruments, including futures and other instruments specified in the Notes to Financials Statements, which constitute forms of economic leverage. Such instruments are used to obtain exposure to a market without owning or taking physical custody of securities or to hedge market and/or interest rate risks. Such derivative instruments involve risks, including the imperfect correlation between the value of a derivative instrument and the underlying asset, possible default of the other party to the transaction and illiquidity of the derivative instrument. The Series’ ability to successfully use a derivative instrument depends on the Advisor’s ability to accurately predict pertinent market movements, which cannot be assured. The use of derivative instruments may result in losses greater than if they had not been used, may require the Series to sell or purchase portfolio securities at inopportune times or for prices other than current market values, may limit the amount of appreciation the Series can realize on an investment or may cause the Series to hold a security that it might otherwise sell. The Series’ investments in these instruments are discussed in detail in the Notes to Financial Statements.

Effective January 1,2008,the Series adopted Financial Accounting Standards Board Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No.157,”Fair Value Measurements,” 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 December 31, 2008 in determining the fair valuation of the Series’ investments:

Notes to Financial Statements

Master Small Cap Index Series

1. Organization and 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 Board of Directors (the “Board”) to issue non-transferable interests in the Master LLC, subject to certain limitations. The Series’ financial statements are prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, 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. Financial futures contracts traded on exchanges are valued at their last sale price. Short-term securities with maturities less than 60 days are valued at amortized cost, which approximates fair value. Investments in open-end investment companies are valued at net asset value each business day. The Series values its investments in Cash Sweep Series and Money Market Series, each of the BlackRock Liquidity Series, LLC, at fair value, which is ordinarily based upon their pro-rata ownership in the net assets of the underlying fund.

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 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 both 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 financial futures contracts for investment purposes or to manage its interest rate risk. Futures are contracts for delayed delivery of securities at a specific future date and at a specific price or yield. 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. The use of futures transactions involves the risk of an imperfect correlation in the movements in the price of futures contracts, interest rates and the underlying assets, and the possible inability of counter-parties to meet the terms of their contracts.

Segregation and Collateralization: In cases in which the 1940 Act and the interpretive positions of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) require that the Series segregate assets in connection with certain investments (e.g., financial futures contracts), the Series will, consistent with certain interpretive letters issued by the SEC, designate on its books and records cash or other liquid securities having a market value at least equal to the amount that would otherwise be required to be physically segregated. Furthermore, based on requirements and agreements with certain exchanges and third party broker-dealers, the Series may also be required to deliver or deposit securities as collateral for certain investments (e.g., financial futures contracts).

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. Upon notification from issuers, some of the dividend income received from a real estate investment trust may be redesignated as a reduction of cost of the related investment and/or realized gain. Interest income 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 US 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

Master Small Cap Index Series

delivered to the Series on the next business day. 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. The Series may receive a flat fee for its loans. Loans of securities are terminable at any time and the borrower, after notice, is required to return borrowed securities within the standard time period for settlement of securities transactions. The Series may pay reasonable 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 invested collateral falls below the market value of the borrowed securities either in the event of borrower default or in the event of losses on investments made with cash collateral. For the year ended December 31, 2008, the Series received only cash collateral for any securities loaned.

Income Taxes: The Series is classified as a “pass-through entity” 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. The Series is disregarded as an entity from its owner for tax purposes, therefore it is not required to file tax returns. Under the applicable foreign tax laws, a withholding tax may be imposed on interest, dividend and capital gains at various rates.

The Series files US federal and various state and local tax returns. No income tax returns are currently under examination. The statute of limitations on the Series’ US federal tax returns remains open for the years ended December 31, 2005 through December 31, 2007. 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. FAS 161 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after November 15, 2008. The impact of the Fund’s financial statement disclosures, if any, is currently being assessed.

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 the largest stockholders of BlackRock, Inc. As of December 31, 2008, Merrill Lynch and PNC are affiliates 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 net assets of the Series.

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 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 year ended December 31, 2008, the Series reimbursed the Advisor $8,365 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 SEC 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 the report date, the Series lent securities with a value of $1,175,816 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

Master Small Cap Index Series

registered money market funds advised by the Advisor or its affiliates. The share of income earned by the Series on such investments is shown as securities lending — affiliated on the Statement of Operations. For the year ended December 31, 2008, BIM received $298,692 in securities lending agent fees.

The Series may earn income on positive cash balances in demand deposit accounts. For the year ended December 31, 2008, the Series earned $407, which is included in income — affiliated in the Statement of Operations.

Pursuant to the terms of the custody agreement, custodian fees may be reduced by amounts calculated on uninvested cash balances, 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. The Series reimburses the Advisor for its allocated share of compensation paid to the Master LLC’s Chief Compliance Officer.

3. Investments:

Purchases and sales of investments, excluding short-term securities, for the year ended December 31, 2008 were $191,017,169 and $303,329,787, respectively.

4. Short-Term Borrowings:

The Master LLC, on behalf of the Series, along with certain other funds managed by the Manager and its affiliates, is a party to a $500,000,000 credit agreement with a group of lenders, which expired November 2008 and was subsequently renewed until November 2009. 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. The Series paid its pro rata share of a 0.02% upfront fee on the aggregate commitment amount based on its net assets as of October 31, 2008. The Series pays a commitment fee of 0.08% per annum based on the Series’ pro rata share of the unused portion of the credit agreement, which is included in miscellaneous in the Statement of Operations. Amounts borrowed under the credit agreement bear interest at a rate equal to the higher of the (a) federal funds effective rate and (b) reserve adjusted one month LIBOR, plus, in each case, the higher of (i) 1.50% and (ii) 50% of the CDX Index (as defined in the credit agreement) in effect from time to time. The Series did not borrow under the credit agreement during the year ended December 31, 2008.

5. Market and Credit Risk:

In the normal course of business, the Series invests in securities and enters into transactions where risks exist due to fluctuations in the market (market risk) or failure of the issuer of a security to meet all its obligations (credit risk). The value of securities held by the Series may decline in response to certain events, including those directly involving the companies whose securities are owned by the Series; conditions affecting the general economy; overall market changes; local, regional or global political, social or economic instability; and currency and interest rate and price fluctuations. Similar to credit risk, the Series may be exposed to counter-party risk, or the risk that an entity with which the Series has unsettled or open transactions may default. Financial assets, which potentially expose the Series to credit and counterparty risks, consist principally of investments and cash due from counterparties. The extent of the Series’ exposure to credit and counterparty risks with respect to these financial assets is approximated by their value recorded in the Series’ Statement of Assets and Liabilities.

The Series invests a significant portion of its assets in the financial services industry. Please see the Summary Schedule of Investments for these securities. Changes in economic conditions affecting the financial services industry would have a greater impact on the Series, and could affect the value, income and/or liquidity of positions in such securities.

6. Subsequent Event:

On January 1, 2009, Bank of America Corporation announced that it had completed its acquisition of Merrill Lynch, one of the largest stockholders of BlackRock, Inc.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

Master Small Cap Index Series

To the Investors and Board of Directors of Quantitative Master Series LLC:

We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities, including the summary schedule of investments, of Master Small Cap Index Series, one of the portfolios constituting Quantitative Master Series LLC (the “Master LLC”) as of December 31, 2008, and the related statement of operations for the year then ended, the statements of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended. These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Master LLC’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and financial highlights based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and financial highlights are free of material misstatement. The Master LLC is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Master LLC’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of December 31, 2008, by correspondence with the custodian and brokers; where replies were not received from brokers, we performed other auditing procedures. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Master Small Cap Index Series of Quantitative Master Series LLC as of Decem-ber 31, 2008, the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Following the combination of Merrill Lynch Investment Managers, L.P. (“MLIM”) and BlackRock, Inc.

Item 2 – Code of Ethics – The registrant (or the “Fund”) has adopted a code of ethics, as of the end of the period covered by this report, applicable to the registrant’s principal executive officer, principal financial officer and principal accounting officer, or persons performing similar functions. During the period covered by this report, there have been no amendments to or waivers granted under the code of ethics. A copy of the code of ethics is available without charge at www.blackrock.com.

Urish

Under applicable securities laws, a person determined to be an audit committee financial expert will not be deemed an “expert” for any purpose, including without limitation for the purposes of Section 11 of the Securities Act of 1933, as a result of being designated or identified as an audit committee financial expert. The designation or identification as an audit committee financial expert does not impose on such person any duties, obligations, or liabilities greater than the duties, obligations, and liabilities imposed on such person as a member of the audit committee and board of directors in the absence of such designation or identification.

1 The nature of the services include assurance and related services reasonably related to the performance of the audit of financial statements not included in Audit Fees.

2 The nature of the services include tax compliance, tax advice and tax planning.

3 The nature of the services include a review of compliance procedures and attestation thereto.

 

  (e)(1) Audit Committee Pre-Approval Policies and Procedures:
          The registrant’s audit committee (the “Committee”) has adopted policies and procedures with regard to the pre-approval of services. Audit, audit-related and tax compliance services provided to the registrant on an annual basis require specific pre-approval by the Committee. The Committee also must approve other non-audit services provided to the registrant and those non-audit services provided to the registrant’s affiliated service providers that relate directly to the operations and the financial reporting of the registrant. Certain of these non-audit services that the Committee believes are a) consistent with the SEC’s auditor independence rules and b) routine and recurring services that will not impair the independence of the independent accountants may be approved by the Committee without consideration on a specific case-by-case basis (“general pre-approval”). The term of any general pre-approval is 12 months from the date of the pre-approval, unless the Committee provides for a different period. Tax or other non-audit services provided to the registrant which have a direct impact on the operation or financial reporting of the registrant will only be deemed pre-approved provided that any individual project does not exceed $10,000 attributable to the

 


 

registrant or $50,000 for all of the registrants the Committee oversees. For this purpose, multiple projects will be aggregated to determine if they exceed the previously mentioned cost levels.

 

        Any proposed services exceeding the pre-approved cost levels will require specific pre-approval by the Committee, as will any other services not subject to general pre-approval (e.g., unanticipated but permissible services). The Committee is informed of each service approved subject to general pre-approval at the next regularly scheduled in-person board meeting. At this meeting, an analysis of such services is presented to the Committee for ratification. The Committee may delegate to one or more of its members the authority to approve the provision of and fees for any specific engagement of permitted non-audit services, including services exceeding pre-approved cost levels.

  (e)(2) None of the services described in each of Items 4(b) through (d) were approved by the audit committee pursuant to paragraph (c)(7)(i)(C) of Rule 2-01 of Regulation S-X.
  (f) Not Applicable

  (h) The registrant’s audit committee has considered and determined that the provision of non-audit services that were rendered to the registrant’s investment adviser (not including any non-affiliated sub-adviser whose role is primarily portfolio management and is subcontracted with or overseen by the registrant’s investment adviser), and any entity controlling, controlled by, or under common control with the investment adviser that provides ongoing services to the registrant that were not pre-approved pursuant to paragraph (c)(7)(ii) of Rule 2-01 of Regulation S-X is compatible with maintaining the principal accountant’s independence.

Effective January 1, 2008, the Series adopted Financial Accounting Standards Board Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements” (“FAS 157”). 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.
