Shareholder Letter

Dear Shareholder,

One year ago, U.S. financial markets were improving despite a sluggish global economy, as easy monetary policy provided investors with enough conviction to take on more risk in their portfolios. Slow but positive growth in the U.S. was sufficient to support corporate earnings, while uncomfortably high unemployment reinforced expectations that the Federal Reserve would continue to maintain its aggressive monetary stimulus programs.

Sentiment swiftly reversed in May when then-Fed Chairman Bernanke first mentioned the possibility of reducing (or “tapering”) the central bank’s asset purchase programs — comments that were widely misinterpreted as signaling an end to the Fed’s zero-interest-rate policy. U.S. Treasury yields rose sharply, triggering a steep sell-off across fixed income markets. (Bond prices move in the opposite direction of yields.) Global equities also suffered as investors feared the implications of a potential end to a program that had greatly supported the markets. Emerging markets, which are more sensitive to changes in global liquidity, were particularly hurt by the prospect of ebbing cash flows from the U.S. Markets rebounded in late June, however, when the Fed’s tone turned more dovish, and improving economic indicators and better corporate earnings helped extend gains through most of the summer.

Although the tone of economic and financial news was mixed during the autumn, it was a surprisingly positive period for most asset classes. Early on, the Fed defied market expectations with its decision to delay tapering, but higher volatility returned in late September when the U.S. Treasury Department warned that the national debt would soon breach its statutory maximum. The ensuing political brinksmanship led to a partial government shutdown, roiling global financial markets through the first half of October. Equities and other so-called “risk assets” managed to resume their rally when politicians engineered a compromise to reopen the government and extend the debt ceiling.

The remainder of 2013 was generally positive for stock markets in the developed world, although investors continued to grapple with uncertainty about when and how much the Fed would scale back on stimulus. When the Fed ultimately announced its tapering plans in mid-December, markets reacted positively, as this action signaled the Fed’s perception of real improvement in the economy, and investors were finally relieved from the anxiety that had gripped them for quite some time.

The start of the new year brought another turn in sentiment, as heightened risks in emerging markets and mixed U.S. economic data caused global equities to weaken in January while bond markets found renewed strength. Although these headwinds persisted, equities were back on the rise in February as investors were encouraged by a one-year extension of the U.S. debt ceiling and market-friendly comments from the Fed’s new Chairwoman, Janet Yellen. While U.S. economic data pointed to softer growth, investors viewed this trend as temporarily driven by poor winter weather and continued adding risk to their portfolios on the belief that growth would pick up in the coming months. In March, markets focused on decelerating growth in China and tensions between Russia and Ukraine over the disputed region of Crimea. Additionally, investors were caught off guard by a statement from Chairwoman Yellen indicating that the Fed may raise short-term interest rates earlier than the markets had previously forecasted. Bond markets came under pressure as the middle of the yield curve vaulted higher in response to the unexpected shift in forward guidance.

Against a backdrop of modest economic growth, investors over the past year remained highly attuned to potential changes in monetary policy. Despite the fact that markets were gearing up for a modest shift toward tighter conditions from the Fed, equity markets in the developed world generated strong returns for the six- and 12-month periods ended March 31, with stocks in the United States performing particularly well. In contrast, emerging markets were weighed down by concerns about reduced global liquidity, severe currency weakness, high levels of debt and uneven growth.

Interest rate uncertainty posed a headwind for fixed income assets, and higher-quality sectors of the market experienced heightened volatility and poor performance over the reporting period. High yield bonds, however, benefited from income-oriented investors’ search for yield in the overall low-rate environment. Short-term interest rates remained near zero, keeping yields on money market securities close to historic lows.

At BlackRock, we believe investors need to think globally, extend their scope across a broad array of asset classes and be prepared to move freely as market conditions change over time. We encourage you to talk with your financial advisor and visit www.blackrock.com for further insight about investing in today’s world.

Sincerely,

Portfolio Management Commentary

 

How did the Fund perform?

 

Ÿ  

For the six-month period ended March 31, 2014, through its investments in Master Large Cap Core Portfolio of Master Large Cap Series LLC (the “equity allocation” or the “Master Large Cap Core Portfolio”) and Master Total Return Portfolio of Master Bond LLC (the “fixed income allocation” or the “Master Total Return Portfolio”) (collectively, the “Master Portfolios”), the Fund outperformed its blended reference benchmark (60% Russell 1000® Index/40% Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index). For the same period, the Fund outperformed the fixed income portion of the benchmark, the Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index, and underperformed the equity portion of the benchmark, the Russell 1000® Index.

What factors influenced performance?

 

Ÿ  

From an asset allocation perspective, the Fund benefited from its overweight in equities relative to the blended reference benchmark as equities outperformed fixed income over the six-month period. The Master Large Cap Core Portfolio outperformed the Russell 1000® Index and the Master Total Return Portfolio outperformed the Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index.

 

Ÿ  

Relative to the Russell 1000® Index, the Master Large Cap Core Portfolio benefited from good stock selection, most notably in the consumer staples, health care, industrials, materials and energy sectors, while selection within information technology (“IT”) hindered results.

 

Ÿ  

The Master Total Return Portfolio outperformed the Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index due largely to the management of duration (sensitivity to interest rate movements) and yield curve positioning, as well as exposure to securitized assets. Within securitized assets, exposure to commercial mortgage-backed securities (“CMBS”), asset-backed securities (“ABS”) and non-agency residential mortgage-backed securities (“MBS”) had a positive impact on returns. Conversely, positioning within U.S. agency MBS detracted from results, particularly due to security selection in 30-year pass-through securities. An underweight to U.S. agency debentures also hindered relative performance.

 

Describe recent portfolio activity.

 

Ÿ  

From a broad asset allocation perspective, the Fund reduced exposure to equities throughout the six-month period given broader macro concerns in several emerging markets and softer-than-expected economic data in the U.S. Within equities, the Master Large Cap Core Portfolio increased exposure to the IT, health care, and materials sectors, while reducing exposures to energy, particularly within oil, gas & consumable fuels, and consumer discretionary, notably in the specialty retail industry. In fixed income, the Master Total Return Portfolio added risk on the long end of the yield curve with the expectation that yields on the short end of the yield curve will rise, while yields on the long end will fall. The fixed income allocation added exposure to long-dated investment grade corporate and municipal bonds given their potential to benefit from a strong income profile and falling spreads.

Describe portfolio positioning at period end.

 

Ÿ  

At period end, the Fund’s equity weighting was in line with the blended reference benchmark. The Fund was underweight in fixed income and held a small non-benchmark allocation to cash and cash equivalents.

 

Ÿ  

In equities, the Master Large Cap Core Portfolio continued to hold its largest sector overweights relative to the Russell 1000® Index in financials and health care, while consumer staples continued to be the most notable underweight.

 

Ÿ  

Relative to the Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index, the Master Total Return Portfolio remained generally underweight in government-related sectors in favor of non-government spread sectors. Within spread sectors, the fixed income allocation was most significantly overweight in CMBS and ABS, while maintaining a modest underweight in investment grade corporate credit. Within the government space, the Master Portfolio was underweight in U.S. Treasuries and agency debentures, and held an overweight to agency MBS. The Master Total Return Portfolio also held non-benchmark allocations to non-agency residential MBS, high yield bonds, non-U.S. sovereign bonds and U.S. Treasury inflation-protected securities.

For each class of the Fund, expenses are equal to the annualized expense ratio for the class, multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 182/365 (to reflect the one-half year period shown). Because the Fund invests significantly in the Master Portfolios, the expense table example reflects the net expenses of both the Fund and the Master Portfolios in which it invests.

Hypothetical 5% annual return before expenses is calculated by pro rating the number of days in the most recent fiscal half year divided by 365.

Performance information reflects past performance and does not guar- antee future results. The performance information for periods prior to

February 2009 does not reflect any investment by the Fund in the Master Large Cap Core Portfolio. 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 table on the previous page assume reinvestment of all dividends and distributions, if any, at net asset value (“NAV”) on the ex-dividend dates. 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, distribution and transfer agency fees applicable to each class, which are deducted from the income available to be paid to shareholders.

BlackRock Advisors, LLC (the “Manager”), the Fund’s investment advisor, waived and/or reimbursed a portion of the Fund’s expenses. Without such waiver and/or reimbursement, the Fund’s performance would have been lower. The Manager is under no obligation to waive or reimburse or to continue waiving or reimbursing its fees after the applicable termination date. See Note 3 of the Notes to Financial Statements for additional information on waivers and reimbursements. The standardized 30-day yield includes the effects of any waivers and/or reimbursements. The unsubsidized 30-day yield excludes the effects of any waiver and/or reimbursements.

 

 

Disclosure of Expenses

 

Shareholders of the Fund may incur the following charges: (a) transactional expenses, such as sales charges; and (b) operating expenses, including investment advisory fees, service and distribution fees, including 12b-1 fees, acquired fund fees and expenses and other Fund expenses. The expense example on the previous page (which is based on a hypothetical investment of $1,000 invested on October 1, 2013 and held through March 31, 2014) 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 expense example 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 expense example 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 the Fund and other funds, compare the 5% hypothetical examples with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in other funds’ shareholder reports.

The expenses shown in the expense example are intended to highlight shareholders’ ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional expenses, such as sales charges, if any. 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.

The Benefits and Risks of Leveraging     

 

The Master Total Return Portfolio may utilize leverage to seek to enhance its yield and NAV. However, these objectives cannot be achieved in all interest rate environments.

The Master Total Return Portfolio may utilize leverage by entering into reverse repurchase agreements and/or treasury roll transactions. In general, the concept of leveraging is based on the premise that the financing cost of assets to be obtained from leverage, which will be based on short-term interest rates, will normally be lower than the income earned by the Master Total Return Portfolio on its longer-term portfolio investments. To the extent that the total assets of the Master Total Return Portfolio (including the assets obtained from leverage) are invested in higher-yielding portfolio investments, the Master Total Return Portfolio’s shareholders will benefit from the incremental net income.

The interest earned on securities purchased with the proceeds from leverage is paid to shareholders in the form of dividends, and the value of these portfolio holdings is reflected in the net assets. However, in order to benefit shareholders, the yield curve must be positively sloped; that is, short-term interest rates must be lower than long-term interest rates. If the yield curve becomes negatively sloped, meaning short-term interest rates exceed long-term interest rates, income to shareholders will be lower than if the Master Total Return Portfolio had not used leverage.

If short-term interest rates rise, narrowing the differential between short-term and long-term interest rates, the incremental net income pickup will be reduced or eliminated completely. Furthermore, if prevailing short-term interest rates rise above long-term interest rates, the yield curve has a negative slope. In this case, the Master Total Return Portfolio pays higher short-term interest rates whereas the Master Total Return Portfolio’s total portfolio earns income based on lower long-term interest rates.

Furthermore, the value of the Master Total Return Portfolio’s portfolio investments generally varies inversely with the direction of long-term interest rates, although other factors can influence the value of portfolio investments. As a result, changes in interest rates can influence the Master Total Return Portfolio’s net assets positively or negatively in addition to the impact on the Master Total Return Portfolio’s performance from leverage and borrowings discussed above.

The use of leverage may enhance opportunities for increased income to the Master Total Return Portfolio, but as described above, it also creates risks as short- or long-term interest rates fluctuate. If the income derived from securities purchased with assets received from leverage exceeds the cost of leverage, the Master Total Return Portfolio’s net income will be greater than if leverage had not been used. Conversely, if the income from the securities purchased is not sufficient to cover the cost of leverage, the Master Total Return Portfolio’s net income will be less than if leverage had not been used. The Master Total Return Portfolio may be required to sell portfolio securities at inopportune times or at distressed values in order to comply with regulatory requirements applicable to the use of leverage or as required by the terms of leverage instruments, which may cause the Master Total Return Portfolio to incur losses. The use of leverage may limit the Master Total Return Portfolio’s ability to invest in certain types of securities or use certain types of hedging strategies. The Master Total Return Portfolio will incur expenses in connection with the use of leverage, all of which are borne by the Master Total Return Portfolio shareholders and may reduce income.

 

 

Derivative Financial Instruments

 

The Master Portfolios may invest in various derivative financial instruments, including financial futures contracts, forward foreign currency exchange contracts, options and swaps, as specified in Note 4 of each of the Master Portfolio’s Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, which may constitute forms of economic leverage. Such derivative financial instruments are used to obtain exposure to a security, index and/ or market without owning or taking physical custody of securities or to hedge market, equity, credit, interest rate, foreign currency exchange rate and/or other risks. Derivative financial instruments involve risks, including the imperfect correlation between the value of a derivative financial instrument and the underlying asset, possible default of the counterparty to the transaction or illiquidity of the derivative financial instrument. The

Master Portfolios’ ability to use a derivative financial instrument successfully depends on the investment advisor’s ability to predict pertinent market movements accurately, which cannot be assured. The use of derivative financial instruments may result in losses greater than if they had not been used, may require the Master Portfolios to sell or purchase portfolio investments at inopportune times or for distressed values, may limit the amount of appreciation the Master Portfolios can realize on an investment, may result in lower dividends paid to shareholders and/or may cause the Master Portfolios to hold an investment that they might otherwise sell. The Master Portfolios’ investments in these instruments are discussed in detail in each of the Master Portfolio’s Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.

     BLACKROCK BALANCED CAPITAL FUND, INC.    MARCH 31, 2014    13


Notes to Financial Statements (Unaudited)      BlackRock Balanced Capital Fund, Inc.   

 

1. Organization:

BlackRock Balanced Capital Fund, Inc. (the “Fund”) is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), as a diversified, open-end management investment company. The Fund is organized as a Maryland corporation. The Fund seeks to achieve its investment objective by investing the fixed income portion of its assets in Master Total Return Portfolio (the “Master Total Return Portfolio”) of Master Bond LLC, a mutual fund that has an investment objective and strategy consistent with that of the fixed income portion of the Fund, and investing the equity portion of its assets in Master Large Cap Core Portfolio (the “Master Large Cap Core Portfolio”) of Master Large Cap Series LLC, a mutual fund that has an investment objective and strategy consistent with that of the equity portion of the Fund. Master Total Return Portfolio and Master Large Cap Core Portfolio, both affiliates of the Fund, are collectively referred to as the “Master Portfolios.” The value of the Fund’s investment in the Master Portfolios reflects the Fund’s proportionate interest in the net assets of the Master Portfolios. The percentages of the Master Large Cap Core Portfolio and Master Total Return Portfolio owned by the Fund at March 31, 2014 were 23.4% and 9.7%, respectively. The performance of the Fund is directly affected by the performance of the Master Portfolios. The financial statements of the Master Portfolios, including the Schedules of Investments, are included elsewhere in this report and should be read in conjunction with the Fund’s financial statements. The Fund offers multiple classes of shares. Institutional Shares are sold without a sales charge and only to certain eligible investors. Investor A Shares are generally sold with an initial sales charge, but may be subject to a CDSC for certain redemptions where no initial sales charge was paid at the time of purchase. Investor B and Investor C Shares may be subject to a CDSC. Class R Shares are sold without a sales charge and only to certain employer-sponsored retirement plans. All classes of shares have identical voting, dividend, liquidation and other rights and are subject to the same terms and conditions, except that Investor A, Investor B, Investor C and Class R Shares bear certain expenses related to the shareholder servicing of such shares, and Investor B, Investor C and Class R Shares also bear certain expenses related to the distribution of such shares. Investor B Shares automatically convert to Investor A Shares after approximately eight years. Investor B Shares are only available through exchanges and dividend reinvestments by existing shareholders and for purchase by certain employer-sponsored retirement plans. Each class has exclusive voting rights with respect to matters relating to its shareholder servicing and distribution expenditures (except that Investor B shareholders may vote on material changes to the Investor A distribution plan).

2. Significant Accounting Policies:

The Fund’s financial statements are prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”), which may require management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities in the financial statements and the reported amounts of increases and decreases in net assets from operations during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by the Fund:

Valuation: U.S. GAAP defines fair value as the price the Fund would receive to sell an asset or pay to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The Fund’s policy is to fair value its financial instruments at market value. The Fund records its investment in the Master Portfolios at fair value based on the Fund’s proportionate interest in the net assets of the Master Portfolios. Valuation of securities held by the Master Portfolios is discussed in Note 2 of each Master Portfolio’s Notes to Financial Statements, which are included elsewhere in this report. Investments in open-end registered investment companies are valued at NAV each business day.

 

Ÿ  

Fair Value Measurements — Various inputs are used in determining the fair value of investments. These inputs to valuation techniques are categorized into a disclosure hierarchy consisting of three broad levels for financial statement purposes as follows:

 

  Ÿ  

Level 1 — unadjusted price quotations in active markets/exchanges for identical assets or liabilities that the Fund has the ability to access

 

  Ÿ  

Level 2 — other observable inputs (including, but not limited to, quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in markets that are active, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the assets or liabilities (such as interest rates, yield curves, volatilities, prepayment speeds, loss severities, credit risks and default rates) or other market–corroborated inputs)

 

  Ÿ  

Level 3 — unobservable inputs based on the best information available in the circumstances, to the extent observable inputs are not available (including the Fund’s own assumptions used in determining the fair value of investments)

The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements). Accordingly, the degree of judgment exercised in determining fair value is greatest for instruments categorized in Level 3. The inputs used to measure fair value may fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In such cases, for disclosure purposes, the fair value hierarchy classification is determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety.

Changes in valuation techniques may result in transfers into or out of an assigned level within the disclosure hierarchy. In accordance with the Fund’s policy, transfers between different levels of the fair value disclosure hierarchy are deemed to have occurred as of the beginning of the reporting period. The categorization of a value determined for investments is based on the pricing transparency of the investment and is not necessarily an indication of the risks associated with investing in those securities.

 

 

14    BLACKROCK BALANCED CAPITAL FUND, INC.    MARCH 31, 2014     


Notes to Financial Statements (continued)      BlackRock Balanced Capital Fund, Inc.   

 

The following table summarizes the Fund’s investments categorized in the disclosure hierarchy as of March 31, 2014:

 

      Level 1      Level 2      Level 3      Total  

BlackRock Liquidity Funds, TempFund, Institutional Class

   $ 28,609,343                       $ 28,609,343   

There were no transfers between levels during the six months ended March 31, 2014.

Investment Transactions and Investment Income: For financial reporting purposes, contributions to and withdrawals from the Master Portfolios are accounted on a trade date basis. The Fund records daily its proportionate share of the Master Portfolios’ income, expenses and realized and unrealized gains and losses. In addition, the Fund accrues its own expenses. Income, expenses, and realized and unrealized gains and losses are allocated daily to each class based on its relative net assets.

Dividends and Distributions: Dividends and distributions paid by the Fund are recorded on the ex-dividend dates. The character and timing of dividends and distributions are determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations, which may differ from U.S. GAAP.

Net income and realized gains from investments held by the Master Portfolio’s investment in BlackRock Cayman Master Total Return Portfolio I, Ltd. (“Subsidiary”) are treated as ordinary income for tax purposes. Accordingly, any net gain allocated by the Master Portfolio to the Fund will be treated as ordinary income for federal income tax purposes. If a net loss is realized by the Master Portfolio from the Subsidiary in any taxable year, the loss allocated to the Fund will generally not be available to offset the Fund’s ordinary income and/or capital gains for that year. As such, the net investment income (loss) and realized gains (losses) reported in the Master Portfolio’s financial statements presented under U.S. GAAP for such investments held by the Subsidiary and allocated to the Fund may differ significantly from income dividends and capital gain distributions paid by the Fund.

Income Taxes: It is the Fund’s policy to comply with the requirements of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, 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 U.S. federal and various state and local tax returns. No income tax returns are currently under examination. The statute of limitations on the Fund’s U.S. federal tax returns remains open for each of the four years ended September 30, 2013. The statutes of limitations on the Fund’s state and local tax returns may remain open for an additional year depending upon the jurisdiction.

Management has analyzed tax laws and regulations and their application to the Fund’s facts and circumstances and does not believe there are any uncertain tax positions that require recognition of a tax liability.

Other: Expenses directly related to the Fund or its classes are charged to the 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. Expenses directly related to the Fund and other shared expenses pro rated to the Fund are allocated daily to each class based on its relative net assets or other appropriate methods.

The Fund has an arrangement with the custodian whereby fees may be reduced by credits earned on uninvested cash balances, which, if applicable, are shown as fees paid indirectly in the Statement of Operations. The custodian imposes fees on overdrawn cash balances, which can be offset by accumulated credits earned or may result in additional custody charges.

3. Investment Advisory Agreement and Other Transactions with Affiliates:

The PNC Financial Services Group, Inc. is the largest stockholder and an affiliate, for 1940 Act purposes, of BlackRock, Inc. (“BlackRock”).

The Fund entered into an Investment Advisory Agreement with the Manager, the Fund’s investment advisor, an indirect, wholly owned subsidiary of BlackRock, to provide investment advisory and administration services. The Manager is responsible for the management of the Fund’s portfolio and provides the necessary personnel, facilities, equipment and certain other services necessary to the operations of the Fund. For such services, the Fund paid the Manager a monthly fee based on a percentage of the Fund’s average daily net assets at the following annual rates:

 

Average Daily Net Assets    Investment
Advisory Fee
 

First $250 million

     0.500

$250 million - $300 million

     0.450

$300 million - $400 million

     0.425

Greater than $400 million

     0.400

The Fund also pays an investment advisory fee to the Manager, which is the investment advisor of Master Total Return Portfolio and Master Large Cap Core Portfolio, to the extent it invests in the Master Total Return Portfolio and Master Large Cap Core Portfolio. The Manager has contractually agreed to waive its investment advisory fee by the amount the Fund pays in connection with its investments in the Master Portfolios. For the six months ended March 31, 2014, the Manager waived $1,427,253, which is included in fees waived by Manager in the Statement of Operations.

Investments in companies considered to be an affiliate of the Fund, for purposes of Section 2(a)(3) of the Investment Company Act of 1940, were as follows:

The Manager voluntarily agreed to waive its investment advisory fees by the amount of investment advisory fees the Fund pays to the Manager indirectly through its investment in affiliated money market funds. However, the Manager does not waive its investment advisory fees by the

 

 

     BLACKROCK BALANCED CAPITAL FUND, INC.    MARCH 31, 2014    15


Notes to Financial Statements (continued)      BlackRock Balanced Capital Fund, Inc.   

 

amount of investment advisory fees paid in connection with the Fund’s investment in other affiliated investment companies except to the extent noted above with respect to Master Total Return Portfolio and Master Large Cap Core Portfolio, if any. For the six months ended March 31, 2014, the Manager waived $5,348, which is included in fees waived by Manager in the Statement of Operations.

The Manager, on behalf of each Fund, entered into a sub-advisory agreement with BlackRock Investment Management, LLC (“BIM”), an affiliate of the Manager. The Manager pays BIM, for services it provides, a monthly fee that is a percentage of the investment advisory fees paid by the Fund to the Manager.

The Fund entered into a Distribution Agreement and a Distribution and Service Plan with BlackRock Investments, LLC (“BRIL”), an affiliate of the Manager. Pursuant to the Distribution and Service Plan and in accordance with Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act, the Fund pays BRIL ongoing service and distribution fees. The fees are accrued daily and paid monthly at annual rates based upon the average daily net assets of the shares of the Fund as follows:

 

      Service Fee     Distribution Fee  

Investor A

     0.25       

Investor B

     0.25     0.75

Investor C

     0.25     0.75

Class R

     0.25     0.25

Pursuant to sub-agreements with BRIL, broker-dealers and BRIL provide shareholder servicing and distribution services to the Fund. The ongoing service and/or distribution fee compensates BRIL and each broker-dealer for providing shareholder servicing and/or distribution related services to Investor A, Investor B, Investor C and Class R shareholders.

The Manager 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. For the six months ended March 31, 2014, the Fund reimbursed the Manager the following amounts for costs incurred in running the call center, which are included in transfer agent — class specific in

the Statement of Operations:

 

Institutional

   $ 8,799   

Investor A

   $ 11,494   

Investor B

   $ 584   

Investor C

   $ 1,876   

Class R

   $ 69   

For the six months ended March 31, 2014, affiliates earned underwriting discounts, direct commissions and dealer concessions on sales of the Fund’s Investor A Shares, which totaled $12,817.

For the six months ended March 31, 2014, affiliates received CDSCs as follows:

 

Investor B

   $ 405   

Investor C

   $ 1,354   

Certain officers and/or directors of the Fund are officers and/or directors of BlackRock or its affiliates. The Fund reimburses the Manager for a portion of the compensation paid to the Fund’s Chief Compliance Officer, which is included in officer in the Statement of Operations.

4. Bank Borrowings:

The Fund, along with certain other funds managed by the Manager and its affiliates (“Participating Funds”), is a party to a 364-day, $800 million credit agreement with a group of lenders, under which the Fund may borrow to fund shareholder redemptions. The agreement expires in April 2014. Excluding commitments designated for a certain individual fund, other Participating Funds, including the Fund, can borrow up to an aggregate commitment amount of $500 million, subject to asset coverage and other limitations as specified in the agreement. The credit agreement has the following terms: a fee of 0.065% per annum on unused commitment amounts and interest at a rate equal to the higher of (a) the one-month LIBOR plus 0.80% per annum or (b) the Fed Funds rate plus 0.80% per annum on amounts borrowed. Participating Funds paid administration and arrangement fees, which, along with commitment fees, were allocated among such funds based upon portions of the aggregate commitment available to them and relative net assets of Participating Funds. The Fund did not borrow under the credit agreement during the six months ended March 31, 2014.

6. Subsequent Events:

Management’s evaluation of the impact of all subsequent events on the Fund’s financial statements was completed through the date the financial statements were issued and the following item was noted:

Effective April 24, 2014, the credit agreement was terminated and a new agreement was entered into. The Fund became a party to a 364-day, $1.1 billion credit agreement, which expires in April 2015. Excluding commitments designated for a certain individual fund, the Fund can borrow up to an aggregate commitment amount of $650 million, subject to asset coverage and other limitations as specified in the agreement. The credit agreement has the following terms: a fee of 0.06% per annum on unused commitment amounts and interest at a rate equal to the higher of (a) the one-month LIBOR plus 0.80% per annum or (b) the Fed Funds rate plus 0.80% per annum on amounts borrowed.

Fair Value Measurements — Various inputs are used in determining the fair value of investments. These inputs to valuation techniques are categorized into a disclosure hierarchy consisting of three broad levels for financial statement purposes as follows:

 

  Ÿ  

Level 1 — unadjusted price quotations in active markets/exchanges for identical assets or liabilities that the Portfolio has the ability to access

 

  Ÿ  

Level 2 — other observable inputs (including, but not limited to, quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in markets that are active, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the assets or liabilities (such as interest rates, yield curves, volatilities, prepayment speeds, loss severities, credit risks and default rates) or other market–corroborated inputs)

 

  Ÿ  

Level 3 — unobservable inputs based on the best information available in the circumstances, to the extent observable inputs are not available (including the Portfolio’s own assumptions used in determining the fair value of investments)

The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements). Accordingly, the degree of judgment exercised in determining fair value is greatest for instruments categorized in Level 3. The inputs used to measure fair value may fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In such cases, for disclosure purposes, the fair value hierarchy classification is determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety.

Changes in valuation techniques may result in transfers into or out of an assigned level within the disclosure hierarchy. In accordance with the Portfolio’s policy, transfers between different levels of the fair value disclosure hierarchy are deemed to have occurred as of the beginning of the reporting period. The categorization of a value determined for investments is based on the pricing transparency of the investment and is not necessarily an indication of the risks associated with investing in those securities. For information about the Portfolio’s policy regarding valuation of investments, please refer to Note 2 of the Notes to Financial Statements.

Notes to Financial Statements (Unaudited)      Master Large Cap Core Portfolio   

 

1. Organization:

Master Large Cap Core Portfolio (the “Portfolio”) is a series of Master Large Cap Series LLC (the “Master LLC”). The Master LLC is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), as an open-end management investment company and is organized as a Delaware limited liability company. The Portfolio is classified as diversified. The Limited Liability Company Agreement of the Master LLC permits the Board of Directors of the Master LLC (the “Board”) to issue non-transferable interests in the Master LLC, subject to certain limitations.

The Portfolio, together with certain other registered investment companies advised by the Manager or its affiliates, is included in a complex of open-end funds referred to as the Equity-Liquidity Complex.

2. Significant Accounting Policies:

The Portfolio’s financial statements are prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”), which may require management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities in the financial statements and the reported amount of increases and decreases in net assets from operations during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by the Portfolio:

Valuation: U.S. GAAP defines fair value as the price the Portfolio would receive to sell an asset or pay to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The Portfolio determines the fair value of its financial instruments at market value using independent dealers or pricing services under policies approved by the Board. The BlackRock Global Valuation Methodologies Committee (the “Global Valuation Committee”) is the committee formed by management to develop global pricing policies and procedures and to provide oversight of the pricing function for the Portfolio for all financial instruments.

Equity investments traded on a recognized securities exchange or the NASDAQ Stock Market (“NASDAQ”) are valued at the last reported sale price that day or the NASDAQ official closing price, if applicable. For equity investments traded on more than one exchange, the last reported sale price on the exchange where the stock is primarily traded is used. Equity investments traded on a recognized exchange for which there were no sales on that day are valued at the last available bid (long positions) or ask (short positions) price. Investments in open-end registered investment companies are valued at NAV each business day.

The Portfolio values its investment in BlackRock Liquidity Series, LLC, Money Market Series (the “Money Market Series”) at fair value, which is ordinarily based upon its pro rata ownership in the underlying fund’s net assets. The Money Market Series seeks current income consistent with maintaining liquidity and preserving capital. Although the Money Market Series is not registered under the 1940 Act, its investments will follow the parameters of investments by a money market fund that is subject to Rule 2a-7 under the 1940 Act. The Portfolio may withdraw up to 25% of its investment daily, although the manager of the Money Market

Series, in its sole discretion, may permit an investor to withdraw more than 25% on any one day.

In the event that the 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 or if a price is not available, the investment will be valued by the Global Valuation Committee, or its delegate, in accordance with a policy approved by the Board as reflecting fair value (“Fair Value Assets”). When determining the price for Fair Value Assets, the Global Valuation Committee, or its delegate, seeks to determine the price that the Portfolio might reasonably expect to receive from the current sale of that asset in an arm’s-length transaction. Fair value determinations shall be based upon all available factors that the Global Valuation Committee, or its delegate, deems relevant consistent with the principles of fair value measurement. The pricing of all Fair Value Assets is subsequently reported to the Board or a committee thereof on a quarterly basis.

Generally, trading in foreign instruments is substantially completed each day at various times prior to the close of business on the NYSE. Occasionally, events affecting the values of such instruments may occur between the foreign market close and the close of business on the NYSE that may not be reflected in the computation of the Portfolio’s net assets. If events (e.g., a company announcement, market volatility or a natural disaster) occur during such periods that are expected to materially affect the value of such instruments, those instruments may be Fair Value Assets and valued at their fair value, as determined in good faith by the Global Valuation Committee, or its delegate, using a pricing service and/or policies approved by the Board. Each business day, the Portfolio uses a pricing service to assist with the valuation of certain foreign exchange-traded equity securities and foreign exchange-traded and OTC options (the “Systematic Fair Value Price”). Using current market factors, the Systematic Fair Value Price is designed to value such foreign securities and foreign options at fair value as of the close of business on the NYSE, which follows the close of the local markets.

Foreign Currency: The Portfolio’s books and records are maintained in U.S. dollars. Purchases and sales of investment securities are recorded at the rates of exchange prevailing on the respective date of such transactions. Generally, when the U.S. dollar rises in value against a foreign currency, the Portfolio’s investments denominated in that currency will lose value because that currency is worth fewer U.S. dollars; the opposite effect occurs if the U.S. dollar falls in relative value.

The Portfolio does not isolate the portion of the results of operations arising as a result of changes in the foreign exchange rates from the changes in the market prices of investments held or sold for financial reporting purposes. Accordingly, the effects of changes in foreign currency exchange rates on investments are not segregated in the Statement of Operations from the effects of changes in market prices of those investments but are included as a component of net realized and unrealized gain (loss) from investments. The Portfolio reports realized currency gains (losses) on foreign currency related transactions as components of net realized gain (loss) for financial reporting purposes, whereas such components are generally treated as ordinary income for federal income tax purposes.

Notes to Financial Statements (continued)      Master Large Cap Core Portfolio   

 

Investment Transactions and Investment Income: For financial reporting purposes, investment transactions are recorded on the dates the transactions are entered into (the trade dates). Realized gains and losses on investment transactions are determined on the identified cost basis. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend dates. Dividends from foreign securities where the ex-dividend date may have passed are subsequently recorded when the Portfolio is informed of the ex-dividend date. Under the applicable foreign tax laws, a withholding tax at various rates may be imposed on capital gains, dividends and interest. Upon notification from issuers, some of the dividend income received from a real estate investment trust may be redesignated as a reduction of cost of the related investment and/or realized gain.

Income Taxes: The Portfolio is classified as a partnership for federal income tax purposes. As such, each investor in the Portfolio is treated as the owner of its proportionate share of net assets, income, expenses and realized and unrealized gains and losses of the Portfolio. Therefore, no federal income tax provision is required. It is intended that the Portfolio’s assets will be managed so an investor in the Portfolio can satisfy the requirements of Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended.

The Portfolio 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 Portfolio’s U.S. federal tax returns remains open for each of the four years ended September 30, 2013. The statutes of limitations on the Portfolio’s state and local tax returns may remain open for an additional year depending upon the jurisdiction.

Management has analyzed tax laws and regulations and their application to the Portfolio’s facts and circumstances and does not believe there are any uncertain tax positions that require recognition of a tax liability.

Other: Expenses directly related to the Portfolio are charged to the Portfolio. Other operating expenses shared by several funds are pro rated among those funds on the basis of relative net assets or other appropriate methods.

The Portfolio has an arrangement with the custodian whereby fees may be reduced by credits earned on uninvested cash balances, which, if applicable, are shown as fees paid indirectly in the Statement of Operations. The custodian imposes fees on overdrawn cash balances, which can be offset by accumulated credits earned or may result in additional custody charges.

3. Securities and Other Investments:

Securities Lending: The Portfolio may lend its securities to approved borrowers, such as brokers, dealers and other financial institutions. The borrower pledges collateral consisting of cash, an irrevocable letter of credit issued by a bank, or securities issued or guaranteed by the U.S. government. The initial collateral received by the Portfolio is required to have a value of at least 102% of the current value of the loaned securities for securities traded on U.S. exchanges and a value of at least 105% for all other securities. The collateral is maintained thereafter, at a value equal to at least 100% of the current market value of the securities on

loan. The market value of the loaned securities is determined at the close of each business day of the Portfolio and any additional required collateral is delivered to the Portfolio on the next business day. During the term of the loan, the Portfolio earns dividend or interest income on the securities loaned but does not receive interest income on the securities received as collateral. Loans of securities are terminable at any time and the borrower, after notice, is required to return borrowed securities within the standard time period for settlement of securities transactions.

The market value of securities on loan and the value of the related collateral are shown separately in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities as a component of investments at value, and collateral on securities loaned at value, respectively. As of March 31, 2014, any securities on loan were collateralized by cash. The cash collateral invested by the securities lending agent, BlackRock Investment Management, LLC (“BIM”), if any, is disclosed in the Schedule of Investments.

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

The risks of securities lending include the risk that the borrower may not provide additional collateral when required or may not return the securities when due. To mitigate these risks, the Portfolio benefits from a borrower default indemnity provided by BIM. BIM’s indemnity allows for full replacement of the securities lent. The Portfolio could suffer a loss if the value of an investment purchased with cash collateral falls below the market value of loaned securities or if the value of an investment purchased with cash collateral falls below the value of the original cash collateral received.

4. Investment Advisory Agreement and Other Transactions with Affiliates:

The PNC Financial Services Group, Inc. is the largest stockholder and an affiliate, for 1940 Act purposes, of BlackRock.

The Master LLC, on behalf of the Portfolio, entered into an Investment Advisory Agreement with BlackRock Advisors, LLC (the “Manager”), the Portfolio’s investment advisor, an indirect, wholly owned subsidiary of BlackRock, to provide investment advisory and administration services. The Manager is responsible for the management of the Portfolio and provides the necessary personnel, facilities, equipment and certain other

 

 

     BLACKROCK BALANCED CAPITAL FUND, INC.    MARCH 31, 2014    27


Notes to Financial Statements (continued)      Master Large Cap Core Portfolio   

 

services necessary to the operations of the Portfolio. For such services, the Portfolio pays the Manager a monthly fee based on a percentage of the Portfolio’s average daily net assets at the following annual rates:

 

Average Daily Net Assets    Rate  

Not exceeding $1 Billion

     0.50

In excess of $1 Billion, but not exceeding $5 Billion

     0.45

In excess of $5 Billion

     0.40

The Manager voluntarily agreed to waive its investment advisory fees by the amount of investment advisory fees the Portfolio pays to the Manager indirectly through its investment in affiliated money market funds. However, the Manager does not waive its investment advisory fees by the amount of investment advisory fees paid in connection with the Portfolio’s investment in other affiliated investment companies, if any. For the six months ended March 31, 2014, $12,069 is shown as fees waived by Manager in the Statement of Operations.

The Manager entered into a sub-advisory agreement with BIM, an affiliate of the Manager, with respect to the Portfolio. The Manager pays BIM, for services it provides, a monthly fee that is a percentage of the investment advisory fees paid by the Portfolio to the Manager.

For the six months ended March 31, 2014, the Portfolio reimbursed the Manager $12,036 for certain accounting services, which is included in accounting services in the Statement of Operations.

The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission has issued an exemptive order which permits BIM, an affiliate of the Manager, to serve as securities lending agent for the Portfolio, subject to applicable conditions. As securities lending agent, BIM bears all operational costs directly related to securities lending. The Portfolio is responsible for expenses in connection with the investment of cash collateral received for securities on loan (the “collateral investment expenses”). The cash collateral is invested in a private investment company managed by the Manager or its affiliates. However, BIM has agreed to cap the collateral investment expenses of the private investment company to an annual rate of 0.04%. The investment advisor to the private investment company will not charge any advisory fees with respect to shares purchased by the Portfolio.

Securities lending income is equal to the total of income earned from the reinvestment of cash collateral, net of fees and other payments to and from borrowers of securities, and less the collateral investment expenses. The Portfolio retains a portion of securities lending income and remits a remaining portion to BIM as compensation for its services as securities lending agent. Pursuant to the securities lending agreement effective February 1, 2014, BIM may lend securities only when the difference between the borrower rebate rate and the risk free rate exceeds a certain level (such securities, the “specials only securities”).

Pursuant to a securities lending agreement effective February 1, 2014, the Portfolio retains 80% of securities lending income. In addition, commencing the business day following the date that the aggregate securities lending income earned across the Equity-Liquidity Complex in a calendar year exceeds the aggregate securities lending income earned across the Equity-Liquidity Complex through the lending of specials only

securities in the calendar year 2013, the Portfolio, pursuant to the securities lending agreement, will retain for the remainder of the calendar year securities lending income in an amount equal to 85% of securities lending income. Prior to February 1, 2014, the Portfolio retained 65% of securities lending income and paid a fee to BIM equal to 35% of such income. The share of securities lending income earned by the Portfolio is shown as securities lending — affiliated — net in the Statement of Operations. For the six months ended March 31, 2014, the Portfolio paid BIM $2,570 for securities lending agent services.

The Portfolio recorded a payment from an affiliate to compensate for foregone securities lending revenue in the amount of $159,387, which is shown as other income — affiliated in the Statement of Operations.

Certain officers and/or directors of the Master LLC are officers and/or directors of BlackRock or its affiliates.

5. Purchases and Sales:

Purchases and sales of investments, excluding short-term securities, for the six months ended March 31, 2014, were $343,715,364 and $600,582,627, respectively.

6. Bank Borrowings:

The Master LLC, on behalf of the Portfolio, along with certain other funds managed by the Manager and its affiliates (“Participating Funds”), is a party to a 364-day, $800 million credit agreement with a group of lenders, under which the Portfolio may borrow to fund shareholder redemptions. The agreement expires in April 2014. Excluding commitments designated for a certain individual fund, other Participating Funds, including the Portfolio, can borrow up to an aggregate commitment amount of $500 million, subject to asset coverage and other limitations as specified in the agreement. The credit agreement has the following terms: a fee of 0.065% per annum on unused commitment amounts and interest at a rate equal to the higher of (a) the one-month LIBOR plus 0.80% per annum or (b) the Fed Funds rate plus 0.80% per annum on amounts borrowed. Participating Funds paid administration and arrangement fees, which, along with commitment fees, were allocated among such funds based upon portions of the aggregate commitment available to them and relative net assets of Participating Funds. The Portfolio did not borrow under the credit agreement during the six months ended March 31, 2014.

7. Concentration, Market and Credit Risk:

In the normal course of business, the Portfolio invests in securities and enter into transactions where risks exist due to fluctuations in the market (market risk) or failure of the issuer of a security to meet all its obligations (issuer credit risk). The value of securities held by the Portfolio may decline in response to certain events, including those directly involving the issuers whose securities are owned by the Portfolio; 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 issuer credit risk, the Portfolio may be exposed to counterparty credit risk, or the risk that an entity with which the Portfolio has unsettled or open transactions may fail to or be unable to perform on its commitments. The Portfolio manages

 

 

28    BLACKROCK BALANCED CAPITAL FUND, INC.    MARCH 31, 2014     


Notes to Financial Statements (concluded)      Master Large Cap Core Portfolio   

 

counterparty credit risk by entering into transactions only with counterparties that they believe have the financial resources to honor their obligations and by monitoring the financial stability of those counterparties. Financial assets, which potentially expose the Portfolio to market, issuer and counterparty credit risks, consist principally of financial instruments and receivables due from counterparties. The extent of the Portfolio’s exposure to market, issuer and counterparty credit risks with respect to these financial assets is generally approximated by its value recorded in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities, less any collateral held by the Portfolio.

As of March 31, 2014, the Portfolio invested a significant portion of its assets in securities in the Information Technology and Financials sectors. Changes in economic conditions affecting the Information Technology and Financials sectors would have a greater impact on the Portfolio and could affect the value, income and/or liquidity of positions in such securities.

8. Subsequent Events:

Management’s evaluation of the impact of all subsequent events on the Portfolio’s financial statements was completed through the date the financial statements were issued and the following items were noted:

Effective April 24, 2014, the credit agreement was terminated and a new agreement was entered into. The Portfolio became a party to a 364- day, $1.1 billion credit agreement, which expires in April 2015. Excluding commitments designated for a certain individual fund, the Participating Funds can borrow up to an aggregate commitment amount of $650 million, subject to asset coverage and other limitations as specified in the agreement. The credit agreement has the following terms: a fee of 0.06% per annum on unused commitment amounts and interest at a rate equal to the higher of (a) the one-month LIBOR plus 0.80% per annum or (b) the Fed Funds rate plus 0.80% per annum on amounts borrowed.

Fair Value Measurements — Various inputs are used in determining the fair value of investments and derivative financial instruments. These inputs to valuation techniques are categorized into a disclosure hierarchy consisting of three broad levels for financial statement purposes as follows:

 

  Ÿ  

Level 1 — unadjusted price quotations in active markets/exchanges for identical assets or liabilities that the Master Portfolio has the ability to access

 

  Ÿ  

Level 2 — other observable inputs (including, but not limited to, quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in markets that are active, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the assets or liabilities (such as interest rates, yield curves, volatilities, prepayment speeds, loss severities, credit risks and default rates) or other market–corroborated inputs)

 

  Ÿ  

Level 3 — unobservable inputs based on the best information available in the circumstances, to the extent observable inputs are not available (including the Master Portfolio’s own assumptions used in determining the fair value of investments and derivative financial instruments)

 

 

See Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.

 

     BLACKROCK BALANCED CAPITAL FUND, INC.    MARCH 31, 2014    59


Consolidated Schedule of Investments (continued)      Master Total Return Portfolio   

 

The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements). Accordingly, the degree of judgment exercised in determining fair value is greatest for instruments categorized in Level 3. The inputs used to measure fair value may fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In such cases, for disclosure purposes, the fair value hierarchy classification is determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety.

Changes in valuation techniques may result in transfers into or out of an assigned level within the disclosure hierarchy. In accordance with the Master Portfolio’s policy, transfers between different levels of the fair value disclosure hierarchy are deemed to have occurred as of the beginning of the reporting period. The categorization of a value determined for investments and derivative financial instruments is based on the pricing transparency of the investment and derivative financial instrument and is not necessarily an indication of the risks associated with investing in those securities. For information about the Master Portfolio’s policy regarding valuation of investments and derivative financial instruments, please refer to Note 2 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.

Included in the related net change in unrealized appreciation/depreciation in the Consolidated Statement of Operations.

3 

Any difference between Net change in unrealized appreciation/depreciation and Net change in unrealized appreciation/depreciation on investments still held at March 31, 2014 is generally due to investments no longer held or categorized as Level 3 at period end.

The Master Portfolio’s investments that are categorized as Level 3 were valued utilizing third party pricing information without adjustment. Such valuations are based on unobservable inputs. A significant change in third party information could result in a significantly lower or higher value in such Level 3 investments.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)      Master Total Return Portfolio   

 

1. Organization:

Master Total Return Portfolio (the “Master Portfolio”), a series of Master Bond LLC (the “Master LLC”), is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), as a diversified, open-end management investment company. The Master LLC is organized as a Delaware limited liability company. The Limited Liability Company Agreement of the Master LLC permits the Board of Directors of the Master LLC (the “Board”) to issue nontransferable interests in the Master LLC, subject to certain limitations.

Basis of Consolidation: The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of BlackRock Cayman Master Total Return Portfolio I, Ltd. (the “Subsidiary”), which is a wholly owned subsidiary of the Master Portfolio and primarily invests in commodity-related instruments. The Subsidiary enables the Master Portfolio to hold these commodity-related instruments while allowing its investors to satisfy regulated investment company tax requirements. The Master Portfolio may invest up to 25% of its total assets in the Subsidiary. Intercompany accounts and transactions, if any, have been eliminated. The Subsidiary is subject to the same investment policies and restrictions that apply to the Master Portfolio, except that the Subsidiary may invest without limitation in commodity-related instruments.

2. Significant Accounting Policies:

The Master Portfolio’s consolidated financial statements are prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”), which may require management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities in the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of increases and decreases in net assets from operations during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by the Master Portfolio:

Valuation: U.S. GAAP defines fair value as the price the Master Portfolio would receive to sell an asset or pay to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The Master Portfolio determines the fair values of its financial instruments at market value using independent dealers or pricing services under policies approved by the Board. The BlackRock Global Valuation Methodologies Committee (the “Global Valuation Committee”) is the committee formed by management to develop global pricing policies and procedures and to provide oversight of the pricing function for the Master Portfolio for all financial instruments.

The Master Portfolio values its bond investments on the basis of last available bid prices or current market quotations provided by dealers or pricing services. Floating rate loan interests are valued at the mean of the bid prices from one or more brokers or dealers as obtained from a pricing service. In determining the value of a particular investment, pricing services may use certain information with respect to transactions in such investments, quotations from dealers, pricing matrixes, market transactions in comparable investments, various relationships observed in the market between investments and calculated yield measures. Asset-backed and mortgage-backed securities are valued by independent pricing services using models that consider estimated cash flows of

each tranche of the security, establish a benchmark yield and develop an estimated tranche specific spread to the benchmark yield based on the unique attributes of the tranche. Financial futures contracts traded on exchanges are valued at their last sale price. To-be-announced (“TBA”) commitments are valued on the basis of last available bid prices or current market quotations provided by pricing services. Swap agreements are valued utilizing quotes received daily by the Master Portfolio’s pricing service or through brokers, which are derived using daily swap curves and models that incorporate a number of market data factors, such as discounted cash flows, trades and values of the underlying reference instruments. Certain centrally cleared swaps are valued at the price determined by the relevant exchange or clearinghouse. Investments in open-end registered investment companies are valued at NAV each business day. Short-term securities with remaining maturities of 60 days or less may be valued at amortized cost, which approximates fair value.

Municipal investments (including commitments to purchase such investments on a “when-issued” basis) are valued on the basis of prices provided by dealers or pricing services. In determining the value of a particular investment, pricing services may use certain information with respect to transactions in such investments, quotations from dealers, pricing matrixes, market transactions in comparable investments and information with respect to various relationships between investments.

Equity investments traded on a recognized securities exchange or the NASDAQ Stock Market (“NASDAQ”) are valued at the last reported sale price that day or the NASDAQ official closing price, if applicable. For equity investments traded on more than one exchange, the last reported sale price on the exchange where the stock is primarily traded is used. Equity investments traded on a recognized exchange for which there were no sales on that day are valued at the last available bid (long positions) or ask (short positions) price.

Securities and other assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars using exchange rates determined as of the close of business on the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”). Foreign currency exchange contracts are valued at the mean between the bid and ask prices and are determined as of the close of business on the NYSE. Interpolated values are derived when the settlement date of the contract is an interim date for which quotations are not available.

Exchange-traded options are valued at the mean between the last bid and ask prices at the close of the options market in which the options trade. An exchange-traded option for which there is no mean price is valued at the last bid (long positions) or ask (short positions) price. If no bid or ask price is available, the prior day’s price will be used, unless it is determined that the prior day’s price no longer reflects the fair value of the option. Over-the-counter (“OTC”) options and swaptions are valued by an independent pricing service using a mathematical model, which incorporates a number of market data factors, such as the trades and prices of the underlying instruments.

In the event that the application of these methods of valuation results in a price for an investment that is deemed not to be representative of the market value of such investment, or if a price is not available, the investment will be valued by the Global Valuation Committee, or its delegate,

 

 

     BLACKROCK BALANCED CAPITAL FUND, INC.    MARCH 31, 2014    67


Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (continued)      Master Total Return Portfolio   

 

in accordance with a policy approved by the Board as reflecting fair value (“Fair Value Assets”). When determining the price for Fair Value Assets, the Global Valuation Committee, or its delegate, seeks to determine the price that the Master Portfolio might reasonably expect to receive from the current sale of that asset in an arm’s-length transaction. Fair value determinations shall be based upon all available factors that the Global Valuation Committee, or its delegate, deems relevant consistent with the principles of fair value measurement which include the market approach, income approach and/or in the case of recent investments, the cost approach, as appropriate. The market approach generally consists of using comparable market transactions. The income approach generally is used to discount future cash flows to present value and is adjusted for liquidity as appropriate. These factors include but are not limited to: (i) attributes specific to the investment or asset; (ii) the principal market for the investment or asset; (iii) the customary participants in the principal market for the investment or asset; (iv) data assumptions by market participants for the investment or asset, if reasonably available; (v) quoted prices for similar investments or assets in active markets; and (vi) other factors, such as future cash flows, interest rates, yield curves, volatilities, prepayment speeds, loss severities, credit risks, recovery rates, liquidation amounts and/or default rates. Due to the inherent uncertainty of valuations of such investments, the fair values may differ from the values that would have been used had an active market existed. The Global Valuation Committee, or its delegate, employs various methods for calibrating valuation approaches for investments where an active market does not exist, including regular due diligence of the Master Portfolio’s pricing vendors, regular reviews of key inputs and assumptions, transactional back-testing or disposition analysis to compare unrealized gains and losses to realized gains and losses, reviews of missing or stale prices and large movements in market values and reviews of any market related activity. The pricing of all Fair Value Assets is subsequently reported to the Board or a committee thereof on a quarterly basis.

Generally, trading in foreign instruments is substantially completed each day at various times prior to the close of business on the NYSE. Occasionally, events affecting the values of such instruments may occur between the foreign market close and the close of business on the NYSE that may not be reflected in the computation of the Master Portfolio’s net assets. If events (e.g., a company announcement, market volatility or a natural disaster) occur during such periods that are expected to materially affect the value of such instruments, those instruments may be Fair Value Assets and be valued at their fair value, as determined in good faith by the Global Valuation Committee using a pricing service and/or policies approved by the Board.

Foreign Currency: The Master Portfolio’s books and records are maintained in U.S. dollars. Purchases and sales of investment securities are recorded at the rates of exchange prevailing on the respective date of such transactions. Generally, when the U.S. dollar rises in value against a foreign currency, the Master Portfolio’s investments denominated in that currency will lose value because that currency is worth fewer U.S. dollars; the opposite effect occurs if the U.S. dollar falls in relative value.

The Master Portfolio does not isolate the portion of the results of operations arising as a result of changes in the foreign exchange rates from

the changes in the market prices of investments held or sold for financial reporting purposes. Accordingly, the effects of changes in foreign currency exchange rates on investments are not segregated in the Consolidated Statement of Operations from the effects of changes in market prices of those investments but are included as a component of net realized and unrealized gain (loss) from investments. The Master Portfolio reports realized currency gains (losses) on foreign currency related transactions as components of net realized gain (loss) for financial reporting purposes, whereas such components are generally treated as ordinary income for federal income tax purposes.

The Master Portfolio does not isolate the portion of the results of operations arising as a result of changes in the foreign exchange rates from the changes in the market prices of investments held or sold for financial reporting purposes. Accordingly, the effects of changes in foreign currency exchange rates on investments are not segregated in the Consolidated Statement of Operations from the effects of changes in market prices of those investments but are included as a component of net realized and unrealized gain (loss) from investments. The Master Portfolio reports realized currency gains (losses) on foreign currency related transactions as components of net realized gain (loss) for financial reporting purposes, whereas such components are generally treated as ordinary income for federal income tax purposes. The Master Portfolio has elected to treat realized gains (losses) from certain foreign currency exchange contracts as capital gain (loss) for federal income tax purposes.

Segregation and Collateralization: In cases where the Master Portfolio enters into certain investments (e.g., dollar rolls, TBA sale commitments, financial futures contracts, forward foreign currency exchange contracts, options written, swaps, short sales and structured options), or certain borrowings (e.g., reverse repurchase transactions and treasury roll transactions) that would be “senior securities” for 1940 Act purposes, the Master Portfolio may segregate or designate on its books and records cash or liquid securities having a market value at least equal to the amount of the Master Portfolio’s future obligations under such investments or borrowings. Doing so allows the investment or borrowing to be excluded from treatment as a “senior security.” Furthermore, if required by an exchange or counterparty agreement, the Master Portfolio may be required to deliver/deposit cash and/or securities to/with an exchange, or broker-dealer or custodian as collateral for certain investments or obligations.

Investment Transactions and Investment Income: For financial reporting purposes, investment transactions are recorded on the dates the transactions are entered into (the trade dates). Realized gains and losses on investment transactions are determined on the identified cost basis. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date. Dividends from foreign securities where the ex-dividend date may have passed are subsequently recorded when the Master Portfolio is informed of the ex-dividend date. Under the applicable foreign tax laws, a withholding tax at various rates may be imposed on capital gains, dividends and interest. Upon notification from issuers, some of the dividend income received from a real estate investment trust may be redesignated as a reduction of cost of the related investment and/or realized gain. Interest income, including amortization and accretion of premiums and discounts on debt securities, is recognized on the accrual basis. Income,

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (continued)      Master Total Return Portfolio   

 

expenses and realized and unrealized gains and losses are allocated daily to each class based on its relative net assets.

Income Taxes: The Master Portfolio is classified as a partnership for federal income tax purposes. As such, each investor in the Master Portfolio is treated as the owner of its proportionate share of net assets, income, expenses and realized and unrealized gains and losses of the Master Portfolio. Therefore, no federal income tax provision is required. It is intended that the Master Portfolio’s assets will be managed so an investor in the Master Portfolio can satisfy the requirements of Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended.

The Master Portfolio 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 Master Portfolio’s U.S. federal tax returns remains open for each of the four years ended September 30, 2013. The statutes of limitations on Master Portfolio’s state and local tax returns may remain open for an additional year depending upon the jurisdiction.

Management has analyzed tax laws and regulations and their application to the Master Portfolio’s facts and circumstances and does not believe there are any uncertain tax positions that require recognition of a tax liability.

Other: Expenses directly related to the Master Portfolio are charged to the Master Portfolio. Other operating expenses shared by several funds are pro rated among those funds on the basis of relative net assets or other appropriate methods.

The Master Portfolio has an arrangement with the custodian whereby fees may be reduced by credits earned on uninvested cash balances, which, if applicable, are shown as fees paid indirectly in the Consolidated Statement of Operations. The custodian imposes fees on overdrawn cash balances, which can be offset by accumulated credits earned or may result in additional custody charges.

3. Securities and Other Investments:

Asset-Backed and Mortgage-Backed Securities: The Master Portfolio may invest in asset-backed securities. Asset-backed securities are generally issued as pass-through certificates, which represent undivided fractional ownership interests in an underlying pool of assets, or as debt instruments, which are also known as collateralized obligations, and are generally issued as the debt of a special purpose entity organized solely for the purpose of owning such assets and issuing such debt. Asset-backed securities are often backed by a pool of assets representing the obligations of a number of different parties. The yield characteristics of certain asset-backed securities may differ from traditional debt securities. One such major difference is that all or a principal part of the obligations may be prepaid at any time because the underlying assets (i.e., loans) may be prepaid at any time. As a result, a decrease in interest rates in the market may result in increases in the level of prepayments as borrowers, particularly mortgagors, refinance and repay their loans. An increased prepayment rate with respect to an asset-backed security subject to such a prepayment feature will have the effect of shortening the maturity of the security. In addition, the Master Portfolio may subsequently have to reinvest the proceeds at lower interest rates. If the Master

Portfolio has purchased such an asset-backed security at a premium, a faster than anticipated prepayment rate could result in a loss of principal to the extent of the premium paid.

The Master Portfolio may purchase certain mortgage pass-through securities. There are a number of important differences among the agencies and instrumentalities of the U.S. government that issue mortgage-related securities and among the securities that they issue. For example, mortgage-related securities guaranteed by Ginnie Mae are guaranteed as to the timely payment of principal and interest by Ginnie Mae and such guarantee is backed by the full faith and credit of the United States. However, mortgage-related securities issued by Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae, including Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae guaranteed mortgage pass-through certificates, which are solely the obligations of Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae, are not backed by or entitled to the full faith and credit of the United States, but are supported by the right of the issuer to borrow from the Treasury.

Collateralized Debt Obligations: The Master Portfolio may invest in collateralized debt obligations (“CDOs”), which include collateralized bond obligations (“CBOs”) and collateralized loan obligations (“CLOs”). CBOs and CLOs are types of asset-backed securities. A CDO is an entity that is backed by a diversified pool of debt securities (CBOs) or syndicated bank loans (CLOs). The cash flows of the CDO can be split into multiple segments, called “tranches,” which will vary in risk profile and yield. The riskiest segment is the subordinated or “equity” tranche. This tranche bears the greatest risk of defaults from the underlying assets in the CDO and serves to protect the other, more senior, tranches from default in all but the most severe circumstances. Since it is shielded from defaults by the more junior tranches, a “senior” tranche will typically have higher credit ratings and lower yields than their underlying securities, and often receive investment grade ratings from one or more of the nationally recognized rating agencies. Despite the protection from the more junior tranches, senior tranches can experience substantial losses due to actual defaults, increased sensitivity to future defaults and the disappearance of one or more protecting tranches as a result of changes in the credit profile of the underlying pool of assets.

Inflation-Indexed Bonds: The Master Portfolio may invest in inflation-indexed bonds. Inflation-indexed bonds are fixed income securities whose principal value is periodically adjusted according to the rate of inflation. If the index measuring inflation rises or falls, the principal value of inflation-indexed bonds will be adjusted upward or downward, and consequently the interest payable on these securities (calculated with respect to a larger or smaller principal amount) will be increased or reduced, respectively. Any upward or downward adjustment in the principal amount of an inflation-indexed bond will be included as interest income in the Consolidated Statement of Operations, even though investors do not receive their principal until maturity. Repayment of the original bond principal upon maturity (as adjusted for inflation) is guaranteed in the case of U.S. Treasury inflation-indexed bonds. For bonds that do not provide a similar guarantee, the adjusted principal value of the bond repaid at maturity may be less than the original principal.

Multiple Class Pass-Through Securities: The Master Portfolio may invest in multiple class pass-through securities, including collateralized mortgage obligations (“CMOs”) and commercial mortgage-backed securities. These multiple class securities may be issued by Ginnie Mae, U.S. government agencies or instrumentalities or by trusts formed by private originators of, or investors in, mortgage loans. In general, CMOs are debt obligations of a legal entity that are collateralized by, and multiple class pass-through securities represent direct ownership interests in, a pool of residential or commercial mortgage loans or mortgage pass-through securities (the “Mortgage Assets”), the payments on which are used to make payments on the CMOs or multiple pass-through securities. Classes of CMOs include interest only (“IOs”), principal only (“POs”), planned amortization classes and targeted amortization classes. IOs and POs are stripped mortgage-backed securities representing interests in a pool of mortgages, the cash flow from which has been separated into interest and principal components. IOs receive the interest portion of the cash flow while POs receive the principal portion. IOs and POs can be extremely volatile in response to changes in interest rates. As interest rates rise and fall, the value of IOs tends to move in the same direction as interest rates. POs perform best when prepayments on the underlying mortgages rise since this increases the rate at which the principal is returned and the yield to maturity on the PO. When payments on mortgages underlying a PO are slower than anticipated, the life of the PO is lengthened and the yield to maturity is reduced. If the underlying Mortgage Assets experience greater than anticipated pre-payments of principal, the Master Portfolio may not fully recoup its initial investment in IOs.

Stripped Mortgage-Backed Securities: The Master Portfolio may invest in stripped mortgage-backed securities issued by the U.S. government, its agencies and instrumentalities. Stripped mortgage-backed securities are usually structured with two classes that receive different proportions of the interest (IOs) and principal (POs) distributions on a pool of Mortgage Assets. The Master Portfolio also may invest in stripped mortgage-backed securities that are privately issued.

Zero-Coupon Bonds: The Master Portfolio may invest in zero-coupon bonds, which are normally issued at a significant discount from face value and do not provide for periodic interest payments. Zero-coupon bonds may experience greater volatility in market value than similar maturity debt obligations which provide for regular interest payments.

Capital Trusts and Trust Preferred Securities: The Master Portfolio may invest in capital trusts and/or trust preferred securities. These securities are typically issued by corporations, generally in the form of interest bearing notes with preferred securities characteristics, or by an affiliated business trust of a corporation, generally in the form of beneficial interests in subordinated debentures or similarly structured securities. The securities can be structured as either fixed or adjustable coupon securities that can have either a perpetual or stated maturity date. For trust preferred securities, the issuing bank or corporation will pay interest to the trust, which will then be distributed to holders of the trust preferred securities as a dividend. Dividends can be deferred without creating an event of default or acceleration, although maturity cannot take place unless all cumulative payment obligations have been met. The deferral of payments does not affect the purchase or sale of these securities in the open market. Payments on these securities are treated as interest rather

than dividends for federal income tax purposes. These securities generally are rated below that of the issuing company’s senior debt securities and are freely callable at the issuer’s option.

Preferred Stock: The Master Portfolio may invest in preferred stock. 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.

Floating Rate Loan Interests: The Master Portfolio may invest in floating rate loan interests. The floating rate loan interests held by the Master Portfolio holds are typically issued to companies (the “borrower”) by banks, other financial institutions, and privately and publicly offered corporations (the “lender”). Floating rate loan interests are generally non-investment grade, often involve borrowers whose financial condition is troubled or uncertain and companies that are highly leveraged. The Master Portfolio may invest in obligations of borrowers who are in bankruptcy proceedings. Floating rate loan interests may include fully funded term loans or revolving lines of credit. Floating rate loan interests are typically senior in the corporate capital structure of the borrower. Floating rate loan interests generally pay interest at rates that are periodically determined by reference to a base lending rate plus a premium. The base lending rates are generally the lending rate offered by one or more European banks, such as the London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”), the prime rate offered by one or more U.S. banks or the certificate of deposit rate. Floating rate loan interests may involve foreign borrowers, and investments may be denominated in foreign currencies. The Master Portfolio considers these investments to be investments in debt securities for purposes of its investment policies.

When the Master Portfolio purchases a floating rate loan interest it may receive a facility fee and when it sells a floating rate loan interest it may pay a facility fee. On an ongoing basis, the Master Portfolio may receive a commitment fee based on the undrawn portion of the underlying line of credit amount of a floating rate loan interest. Facility and commitment fees are typically amortized to income over the term of the loan or term of the commitment, respectively. Consent and amendment fees are recorded to income as earned. Prepayment penalty fees, which may be received by the Master Portfolio upon the prepayment of a floating rate loan interest by a borrower, are recorded as realized gains. The Master Portfolio may invest in multiple series or tranches of a loan. A different series or tranche may have varying terms and carry different associated risks.

Floating rate loan interests are usually freely callable at the borrower’s option. The Master Portfolio may invest in such loans in the form of participations in loans (“Participations”) or assignments (“Assignments”) of all or a portion of loans from third parties. Participations typically will result in the Master Portfolio having a contractual relationship only with the lender, not with the borrower. The Master Portfolio will have the right to receive payments of principal, interest and any fees to which it is entitled only from the lender selling the Participation and only upon receipt by the lender of the payments from the borrower. In connection with purchasing Participations, the Master Portfolio generally will have no right to enforce compliance by the borrower with the terms of the loan agreement, nor any rights of offset against the borrower, and the Master Portfolio may not benefit directly from any collateral supporting the loan in which it has purchased the Participation. As a result, the Master Portfolio will assume the credit risk of both the borrower and the lender that is selling the Participation. The Master Portfolio’s investment in loan participation interests involves the risk of insolvency of the financial intermediaries who are parties to the transactions. In the event of the insolvency of the lender selling the Participation, the Master Portfolio may be treated as a general creditor of the lender and may not benefit from any offset between the lender and the borrower. Assignments typically result in the Master Portfolio having a direct contractual relationship with the borrower, and the Master Portfolio may enforce compliance by the borrower with the terms of the loan agreement.

Forward Commitments and When-Issued Delayed Delivery Securities: The Master Portfolio may purchase securities on a when-issued basis and may purchase or sell securities on a forward commitment basis. Settlement of such transactions normally occurs within a month or more after the purchase or sale commitment is made. The Master Portfolio may purchase securities under such conditions with the intention of actually acquiring them, but may enter into a separate agreement to sell the securities before the settlement date. Since the value of securities purchased may fluctuate prior to settlement, the Master Portfolio may be required to pay more at settlement than the security is worth. In addition, the Master Portfolio is not entitled to any of the interest earned prior to settlement. When purchasing a security on a delayed delivery basis, the Master Portfolio assumes the rights and risks of ownership of the security, including the risk of price and yield fluctuations. In the event of default by the counterparty, the Master Portfolio’s maximum amount of loss is the unrealized appreciation of unsettled when-issued transactions, which is shown in the Consolidated Schedule of Investments.

TBA Commitments: The Master Portfolio may enter into TBA commitments. TBA commitments are forward agreements for the purchase or sale of mortgage-backed securities for a fixed price, with payment and delivery on an agreed upon future settlement date. The specific securities to be delivered are not identified at the trade date. However, delivered securities must meet specified terms, including issuer, rate and mortgage terms. The Master Portfolio generally enters into TBA commitments with the intent to take possession of or deliver the underlying mortgage-backed securities but can extend the settlement or roll the transaction. TBA commitments involve a risk of loss if the value of the security to be purchased or sold declines or increases, respectively, prior to settlement date.

In order to better define contractual rights and to secure rights that will help the Master Portfolio mitigate its counterparty risk, TBA commitments may be entered into by the Master Portfolio under Master Securities Forward Transaction Agreements (each, an “MSFTA”). An MSFTA typically contains, among other things, collateral posting terms and netting provisions in the event of default and/or termination event. The collateral requirements are typically calculated by netting the mark to market amount for each transaction under such agreement and comparing that amount to the value of the collateral currently pledged by the Master Portfolio and the counterparty. Cash collateral that has been pledged to cover the obligations of the Master Portfolio and cash collateral received from the counterparty, if any, is reported separately on the Consolidated Statement of Assets and Liabilities as cash pledged as collateral for TBA commitments or cash received as collateral for TBA commitments, respectively. Non-cash collateral pledged by the Master Portfolio, if any, is noted in the Consolidated Schedule of Investments. Typically, the Master Portfolio is permitted to sell, repledge or use the collateral they receive; however, the counterparty is not. To the extent amounts due to the Master Portfolio are not fully collateralized, contractually or otherwise, the Master Portfolio bears the risk of loss from counterparty non-performance.

Mortgage Dollar Roll Transactions: The Master Portfolio may sell TBA mortgage-backed securities and simultaneously contract to repurchase substantially similar (i.e., same type, coupon and maturity) securities on a specific future date at an agreed upon price. During the period between the sale and repurchase, the Master Portfolio will not be entitled to receive interest and principal payments on the securities sold. The Master Portfolio accounts for mortgage dollar roll transactions as purchases and sales and realizes gains and losses on these transactions. These transactions may increase the Master Portfolio’s portfolio turnover rate. Mortgage dollar rolls involve the risk that the market value of the securities that the Master Portfolio is required to purchase may decline below the agreed upon repurchase price of those securities.

Borrowed Bond Agreements: The Master Portfolio may enter into borrowed bond agreements. In a borrowed bond agreement, the Master Portfolio borrows a bond from a counterparty in exchange for cash collateral. The borrowed bond agreement contains a commitment that the security and the cash will be returned to the counterparty and the Master Portfolio at a mutually agreed upon date. Certain agreements have no stated maturity and can be terminated by either party at any time. Borrowed bond agreements are entered into primarily in connection with short sales of bonds. Earnings on cash collateral and compensation to the lender of the bond are based on agreed upon rates between the Master Portfolio and the counterparty. The value of the underlying cash collateral approximates the market value and accrued interest of the borrowed bond. To the extent that a borrowed bond transaction exceeds one business day, the value of the cash collateral in the possession of the counterparty is monitored on a daily basis to ensure the adequacy of the collateral. As the market value of the borrowed bond changes, the cash collateral is periodically increased or decreased with a frequency and in amounts prescribed in the borrowed bond agreement. Full realization of the collateral by the Master Portfolio may be limited if the value of an investment purchased with the cash collateral by the lender

decreases. The Master Portfolio may also experience delays in gaining access to the collateral.

Reverse Repurchase Agreements: The Master Portfolio may enter into reverse repurchase agreements with qualified third party broker-dealers. In a reverse repurchase agreement, the Master Portfolio sells securities to a bank or broker-dealer and agrees to repurchase the same securities at a mutually agreed upon date and price. During the term of the reverse repurchase agreement, the Master Portfolio continues to receive the principal and interest payments on the securities sold. Certain agreements have no stated maturity and can be terminated by either party at any time. Interest on the value of the reverse repurchase agreements issued and outstanding is based upon competitive market rates determined at the time of issuance. The Master Portfolio may utilize reverse repurchase agreements when it is anticipated that the interest income to be earned from the investment of the proceeds of the transaction is greater than the interest expense of the transaction. Reverse repurchase agreements involve leverage risk and also the risk that the market value of the securities to be repurchased may decline below the repurchase price.

For financial reporting purposes, cash received in exchange for securities delivered plus accrued interest due to the counterparty is recorded as a liability in the Consolidated Statement of Assets and Liabilities at face value including accrued interest. Due to the short term nature of the reverse repurchase agreements, face value approximates fair value. Interest payments made by the Master Portfolio to the counterparties are recorded as a component of interest expense in the Consolidated Statement of Operations. In periods of increased demand for the security, the Master Portfolio may receive a fee for us of the security by the counterparty, which may result in interest income to the Master Portfolio.

Treasury Roll Transactions: The Master Portfolio may enter into treasury roll transactions. In a treasury roll transaction, the Master Portfolio sells a Treasury security to a counterparty with a simultaneous agreement to repurchase the same security at an agreed upon price and future settlement date. The Master Portfolio receives cash from the sale of the Treasury security to use for other investment purposes. The difference

between the sale price and repurchase price represents net interest income or net interest expense reflective of an agreed upon rate between the Master Portfolio and the counterparty over the term of the borrowing. For U.S. GAAP purposes, a treasury roll transaction is accounted for as a secured borrowing and not as a purchase or sale. During the term of the borrowing, interest income from the Treasury security and the related interest expense on the secured borrowing is recorded by the Master Portfolio on an accrual basis. The Master Portfolio will benefit from the transaction if the income earned on the investment purchased with the cash received in the treasury roll transaction exceeds the interest expense incurred by the Master Portfolio. If the interest expense exceeds the income earned, the Master Portfolio’s net investment income and dividends to shareholders may be adversely impacted. Treasury roll transactions involve the risk that the market value of the securities that the Master Portfolio is required to repurchase may decline below the agreed upon repurchase price of those securities.

Reverse repurchase transactions, borrowed bond agreements and treasury roll transactions are entered into by the Master Portfolio under Master Repurchase Agreements (“MRA”), which permit the Master Portfolio, under certain circumstances, including an event of default (such as bankruptcy or insolvency), to offset payables and/or receivables under the MRA with collateral held and/or posted to the counterparty and create one single net payment due to or from the Master Portfolio. With reverse repurchase transactions, borrowed bond agreements and treasury roll transactions, typically the Master Portfolio and the counterparties are permitted to sell, re-pledge, or use the collateral associated with the transaction. Bankruptcy or insolvency laws of a particular jurisdiction may impose restrictions on or prohibitions against such a right of offset in the event of the MRA counterparty’s bankruptcy or insolvency. Pursuant to the terms of the MRA, the Master Portfolio receives or posts securities as collateral with a market value in excess of the repurchase price to be paid or received by the Master Portfolio upon the maturity of the transaction. Upon a bankruptcy or insolvency of the MRA counterparty, the Master Portfolio is considered an unsecured creditor with respect to excess collateral and, as such, the return of excess collateral may be delayed.

Net exposure represents the net receivable (payable) that would be due from/to the counterparty in the event of default.

 

  4 

Net receivable is subject to set-off provision with net payable under the ISDA Master Agreement.

 

 

When the Master Portfolio enters into an MRA and an ISDA and/or MSLA with the same counterparty, the agreements may contain a set-off provision allowing the Master Portfolio to offset a net amount payable with a net amount receivable upon default of the counterparty. Bankruptcy or insolvency laws of a particular jurisdiction may restrict or prohibit the right of offset in bankruptcy, insolvency or other events. For example, regardless of the contractual rights included in an MRA, such laws may prohibit the Master Portfolio from setting off amounts owed to a defaulting counterparty under an MRA against amounts owed to the Master Portfolio by affiliates of the defaulting counterparty. However, the insolvency regimes of many jurisdictions generally permit set-off of simultaneous payables and receivables with the same legal entity under certain types of financial contracts. These rules would apply upon a default of the legal entity, regardless of the existence of a contractual set-off right in those contracts.

In the event the counterparty of securities under an MRA files for bankruptcy or becomes insolvent, the Master Portfolio’s use of the proceeds from the agreement may be restricted while the counterparty, or its trustee or receiver, determines whether or not to enforce the Master Portfolio’s obligation to repurchase the securities.

Short Sales: The Master Portfolio may enter into short sale transactions in which the Master Portfolio sells a security it does not hold in anticipation of a decline in the market price of that security. When the Master Portfolio makes a short sale, it will borrow the security sold short (borrowed bond) and deliver the security to the counterparty to which it sold the security short. An amount equal to the proceeds received by the

Master Portfolio is reflected as an asset and an equivalent liability. The amount of the liability is subsequently marked-to-market to reflect the market value of the short sale. The Master Portfolio is required to repay the counterparty interest on the security sold short, which is shown as interest expense in the Consolidated Statement of Operations. The Master Portfolio is exposed to market risk based on the amount, if any, that the market value of the security increases beyond the market value at which the position was sold. Thus, a short sale of a security involves the risk that instead of declining, the price of the security sold short will rise. The short sale of securities involves the possibility of a theoretically unlimited loss since there is a theoretically unlimited potential for the market price of the security sold short to increase. A gain, limited to the price at which the Master Portfolio sold the security short, or a loss, unlimited as to the dollar amount, will be recognized upon the termination of a short sale if the market price is either less than or greater than the proceeds originally received. There is no assurance the Master Portfolio will be able to close out a short position at a particular time or at an acceptable price.

4. Derivative Financial Instruments:

The Master Portfolio engages in various portfolio investment strategies using derivative contracts both to increase the returns of the Master Portfolio and/or to economically hedge its exposure to certain risks such as credit risk, equity risk, interest rate risk, foreign currency exchange rate risk or other risk (inflation risk). These contracts may be transacted on an exchange or OTC.

Financial Futures Contracts: The Master Portfolio purchases and/or sells financial futures contracts and options on financial futures contracts to gain exposure to, or economically hedge against, changes in interest rates (interest rate risk), changes in the value of equity securities (equity risk) or foreign currencies (foreign currency exchange rate risk). Financial futures contracts are agreements between the Master Portfolio and a counterparty to buy or sell a specific quantity of an underlying instrument at a specified price and at a specified date. Depending on the terms of the particular contract, financial futures contracts are settled either through physical delivery of the underlying instrument on the settlement date or by payment of a cash settlement amount on the settlement date.

Upon entering into a financial futures contract, the Master Portfolio is required to deposit initial margin with the broker in the form of cash or securities in an amount that varies depending on a contract’s size and risk profile. The initial margin deposit must then be maintained at an established level over the life of the contract. Securities deposited as initial margin are designated on the Consolidated Schedule of Investments and cash deposited, if any, is recorded on the Consolidated Statement of Assets and Liabilities as cash pledged for financial futures contracts. Pursuant to the contract, the Master Portfolio agrees to receive from or pay to the broker an amount of cash equal to the daily fluctuation in value of the contract. Such receipts or payments are known as variation margin. Variation margin is recorded by the Master Portfolio as unrealized appreciation or depreciation and, if applicable, as a receivable or payable for variation margin in the Consolidated Statement of Assets and Liabilities.

When the contract is closed, the Master Portfolio 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 financial futures contracts involves the risk of an imperfect correlation in the movements in the price of financial futures contracts, interest or foreign currency exchange rates and the underlying assets.

Forward Foreign Currency Exchange Contracts: The Master Portfolio enters into forward foreign currency exchange contracts as an economic hedge against either specific transactions or portfolio instruments or to obtain exposure to, or hedge exposure away from, foreign currencies (foreign currency exchange rate risk). A forward foreign currency exchange contract is an agreement between two parties to buy and sell a currency at a set exchange rate on a future date. Forward foreign currency exchange contracts, when used by the Master Portfolio, help to manage the overall exposure to the currencies in which some of the investments held by the Master Portfolio are denominated. The contract is marked-to-market daily and the change in market value is recorded by the Master Portfolio as an unrealized gain or loss. When the contract is closed, the Master Portfolio 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. The use of forward foreign currency exchange contracts involves the risk that the value of a foreign currency exchange contract changes unfavorably due to movements in the value of the referenced foreign currencies and the risk that the counterparty to the contract does not perform its obligations under the agreement.

Options: The Master Portfolio purchases and writes call and put options to increase or decrease its exposure to underlying instruments (including credit risk, equity risk, interest rate risk and/or foreign currency exchange risk) and/or, in the case of options written, to generate gains from options premiums. A call option gives the purchaser (holder) of the option the right (but not the obligation) to buy, and obligates the seller (writer) to sell (when the option is exercised) the underlying instrument at the exercise or strike price at any time or at a specified time during the option period. A put option gives the holder the right to sell and obligates the writer to buy the underlying instrument at the exercise or strike price at any time or at a specified time during the option period. When the Master Portfolio purchases (writes) an option, an amount equal to the premium paid (received) by the Master Portfolio is reflected as an asset (liability). The amount of the asset (liability) is subsequently marked-to-market to reflect the current market value of the option purchased (written). When an instrument is purchased or sold through an exercise of an option, the related premium paid (or received) is added to (or deducted from) the basis of the instrument acquired or deducted from (or added to) the proceeds of the instrument sold. When an option expires (or the Master Portfolio enters into a closing transaction), the Master Portfolio realizes a gain or loss on the option to the extent of the premiums received or paid (or gain or loss to the extent the cost of the closing transaction exceeds the premiums received or paid). When the Master Portfolio writes a call option, such option is “covered,” meaning that the Master Portfolio holds the underlying instrument subject to being called by the option counterparty. When the Master Portfolio writes a put option, such option is covered by cash in an amount sufficient to cover the obligation.

Options on swaps (swaptions) are similar to options on securities except that instead of selling or purchasing the right to buy or sell a security, the writer or purchaser of the swap option is granting or buying the right to enter into a previously agreed upon interest rate or credit default swap agreement (interest rate risk and/or credit risk) at any time before the expiration of the option.

The Master Portfolio also purchases or sells listed or OTC foreign currency options, foreign currency futures and related options on foreign currency futures as a short or long hedge against possible variations in foreign exchange rates or to gain exposure to foreign currencies (foreign currency exchange rate risk). When foreign currency is purchased or sold through an exercise of a foreign currency option, the related premium paid (or received) is added to (or deducted from) the basis of the foreign currency acquired or deducted from (or added to) the proceeds of the foreign currency sold (receipts from the foreign currency purchased). Such transactions may be effected with respect to hedges on non-U.S. dollar denominated instruments owned by the Master Portfolio but not yet delivered, or committed or anticipated to be purchased by the Master Portfolio.

The Master Portfolio may also purchase and write a variety of options with non-standard payout structures or other features (“barrier options”). Barrier options are generally traded OTC. The Master Portfolio may invest in various types of barrier options including up-and-out options. Up-and-out options expire worthless if the price of the underlying instrument increases beyond a predetermined barrier price level prior to the option’s

expiration date. Barrier options may also be referred to as knockout options. In a reverse knockout option, the option expires worthless if the price of the underlying instrument decreases beyond a predetermined barrier price level prior to the option’s expiration date.

In purchasing and writing options, the Master Portfolio bears the risk of an unfavorable change in the value of the underlying instrument or the risk that the Master Portfolio may not be able to enter into a closing transaction due to an illiquid market. Exercise of a written option could result in the Master Portfolio purchasing or selling a security when it otherwise would not, or at a price different from the current market value.

The Master Portfolio invests in structured options to increase or decrease its exposure to an underlying index or group of securities (equity risk). These structured options are European-Style Options and may consist of single or multiple OTC options which are priced as a single security. European-Style Options may only be exercised at the expiration date, but may be transferred/sold prior to the expiration date. The value of a structured option may either increase or decrease with the underlying index or group of securities, depending on the combination of options used. Structured options are issued in units whereby each unit represents a structure based on the specific index with an initial reference strike price. One type of structure involves the combination of selling a put while buying a call on a specific index. This option would rise in value as the underlying index increases and fall in value as the underlying index decreases. Alternatively, another structure involves the sale of a call and the purchase of a put. This option structure would rise in value as the underlying index decreases and fall in value as the underlying index increases. Upon the exercise of the structured option, the Master Portfolio will receive a payment from, or be required to remit a payment to the counterparty, depending on the value of the underlying index at exercise.

Swaps: The Master Portfolio enter into swap agreements, in which the Master Portfolio and a counterparty agree either to make periodic net payments on a specified notional amount or a net payment upon termination. Swap agreements are privately negotiated in the OTC market and may be entered into as a bilateral contract (“OTC swaps”) or centrally cleared (“centrally cleared swaps”). Swaps are marked-to-market daily and changes in value are recorded as unrealized appreciation (depreciation).

For OTC swaps, any upfront premiums paid are recorded as assets and any upfront fees received are recorded as liabilities and are shown as swap premiums paid and swap premiums received, respectively, in the Consolidated Statement of Assets and Liabilities and amortized over the term of the OTC swap. Payments received or made by the Master Portfolio for OTC swaps are recorded in the Consolidated Statement of Operations as realized gains or losses, respectively. When an OTC swap is terminated, the Master Portfolio will record a realized gain or loss equal to the difference between the proceeds from (or cost of) the closing transaction and the Master Portfolio’s basis in the contract, if any. Generally, the basis of the contracts is the premium received or paid.

In a centrally cleared swap, immediately following execution of the swap agreement, the swap agreement is novated to a central counterparty (the “CCP”) and the Master Portfolio’s counterparty on the swap agree-

ment becomes the CCP. The Master Portfolio is required to interface with the CCP through a broker. Upon entering into a centrally cleared swap, the Master Portfolio are required to deposit initial margin with the broker in the form of cash or securities in an amount that varies depending on the size and risk profile of the particular swap. Securities deposited as initial margin are designated on the Consolidated Schedule of Investments and cash deposited is recorded on the Consolidated Statement of Assets and Liabilities as cash pledged for centrally cleared swaps. The daily change in valuation of centrally cleared swaps is recorded as a receivable or payable for variation margin in the Consolidated Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Payments received from (paid to) the counterparty, including at termination, are recorded as realized gain (loss) in the Consolidated Statement of Operations.

Swap transactions involve, to varying degrees, elements of interest rate, credit and market risk in excess of the amounts recognized in the Consolidated Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Such risks involve the possibility that there will be no liquid market for these agreements, that the counterparty to the agreements may default on its obligation to perform or disagree as to the meaning of the contractual terms in the agreements, and that there may be unfavorable changes in interest rates and/or market values associated with these transactions.

 

Ÿ  

Credit default swaps — The Master Portfolio enters into credit default swaps to manage its exposure to the market or certain sectors of the market, to reduce its risk exposure to defaults of corporate and/or sovereign issuers or to create exposure to corporate and/or sovereign issuers to which it is not otherwise exposed (credit risk). The Master Portfolio may either buy or sell (write) credit default swaps on single-name issuers (corporate or sovereign), a combination or basket of single-name issuers or traded indexes. Credit default swaps on single-name issuers are agreements in which the protection buyer pays fixed periodic payments to the seller in consideration for a guarantee from the protection seller to make a specific payment should a negative credit event take place with respect to the referenced entity (e.g., bankruptcy, failure to pay, obligation accelerators, repudiation, moratorium or restructuring). Credit default swaps on traded indexes are agreements in which the buyer pays fixed periodic payments to the seller in consideration for a guarantee from the seller to make a specific payment should a write-down, principal or interest shortfall or default of all or individual underlying securities included in the index occur. As a buyer, if an underlying credit event occurs, the Master Portfolio will either (i) receive from the seller an amount equal to the notional amount of the swap and deliver the referenced security or underlying securities comprising the index, or (ii) receive a net settlement of cash equal to the notional amount of the swap less the recovery value of the security or underlying securities comprising the index. As a seller (writer), if an underlying credit event occurs, the Master Portfolio will either pay the buyer an amount equal to the notional amount of the swap and take delivery of the referenced security or underlying securities comprising the index or pay a net settlement of cash equal to the notional amount of the swap less the recovery value of the security or underlying securities comprising the index.

 

Ÿ  

Total return swaps — The Master Portfolio enters into total return swaps to obtain exposure to a security or market without owning such security or investing directly in that market or to transfer the risk/return

of one market (e.g., fixed income) to another market (e.g., equity) (equity risk and/or interest rate risk). Total return swaps are agreements in which there is an exchange of cash flows whereby one party commits to make payments based on the total return (coupons plus capital gains/losses) of an underlying instrument in exchange for fixed or floating rate interest payments. To the extent the total return of the instrument or index underlying the transaction exceeds or falls short of the offsetting interest rate obligation, the Master Portfolio will receive a payment from or make a payment to the counterparty.

 

Ÿ  

Interest rate swaps — The Master Portfolio enters into interest rate swaps to gain or reduce exposure to interest rates or to manage duration, the yield curve or interest rate risk by economically hedging the value of the fixed rate bonds which may decrease when interest rates rise (interest rate risk). Interest rate swaps are agreements in which one

   

party pays a stream of interest payments, either fixed or floating, for another party’s stream of interest payments, either fixed or floating, on the same notional amount for a specified period of time. Interest rate floors, which are a type of interest rate swap, are agreements in which one party agrees to make payments to the other party to the extent that interest rates fall below a specified rate or floor in return for a premium. In more complex swaps, the notional principal amount may decline (or amortize) over time.

 

Ÿ  

Forward swaps — The Master Portfolio may enter into forward interest rate swaps and forward total return swaps. In a forward swap, the Master Portfolio and the counterparty agree to make either periodic net payments beginning on a specified future effective date or a net payment at termination, unless terminated earlier.

Counterparty Credit Risk: A derivative contract may suffer a mark-to-market loss if the value of the contract decreases due to an unfavorable change in the market rates or values of the underlying instrument. Losses can also occur if the counterparty does not perform under the contract.

The Master Portfolio’s risk of loss from counterparty credit risk on OTC derivatives is generally limited to the aggregate unrealized gain netted against any collateral held by such Master Portfolio.

For OTC options purchased, the Master Portfolio bears the risk of loss of the amount of the premiums paid plus the positive change in market values net of any collateral held by such Master Portfolio should the counterparty fail to perform under the contracts. Options written by the Master Portfolio do not typically give rise to counterparty credit risk, as options written generally obligate the Master Portfolio, and not the counterparty, to perform.

With exchange-traded purchased options and futures and centrally cleared swaps, there is less counterparty credit risk to the Master Portfolio since the exchange or clearinghouse, as counterparty to such instruments, guarantees against a possible default. The clearinghouse stands between the buyer and the seller of the contract; therefore, the credit risk is limited to failure of the clearinghouse. While offset rights may exist under applicable law, the Master Portfolio does not have a contractual right of offset against a clearing broker or clearinghouse in the event of a default (including bankruptcy or insolvency) of the clearing broker or clearinghouse. Additionally, credit risk exists in exchange traded futures and centrally cleared swaps with respect to initial and variation margin that is held in a clearing broker’s customer accounts. While clearing brokers are required to segregate customer margin from their own assets, in the event that a clearing broker becomes insolvent or goes into bankruptcy and at that time there is a shortfall in the aggregate amount of margin held by the clearing broker for all its clients, typically the shortfall would be allocated on a pro rata basis across all the clearing broker’s customers, potentially resulting in losses to the Master Portfolio.

In order to better define its contractual rights and to secure rights that will help the Master Portfolio mitigate its counterparty risk, the Master

Portfolio may enter into an International Swaps and Derivatives Association, Inc. Master Agreement (“ISDA Master Agreement”) or similar agreement with its derivative contract counterparties. An ISDA Master Agreement is a bilateral agreement between each Master Portfolio and a counterparty that governs OTC derivatives and typically contains, among other things, collateral posting terms and netting provisions in the event of a default and/or termination event. Under an ISDA Master Agreement, the Master Portfolio may, under certain circumstances, offset with the counterparty certain derivative financial instruments’ payables and/or receivables with collateral held and/or posted and create one single net payment. The provisions of the ISDA Master Agreement typically permit a single net payment in the event of default including the bankruptcy or insolvency of the counterparty. Bankruptcy or insolvency laws of a particular jurisdiction may impose restrictions on or prohibitions against the right of offset in bankruptcy, insolvency or other events. In addition, certain ISDA Master Agreements allow counterparties to OTC derivatives to terminate derivative contracts prior to maturity in the event the Master Portfolio’s net assets decline by a stated percentage or the Master Portfolio fails to meet the terms of its ISDA Master Agreements, which would cause the Master Portfolio to accelerate payment of any net liability owed to the counterparty.

Collateral Requirements: For derivatives traded under an ISDA Master Agreement, the collateral requirements are typically calculated by netting the mark-to-market amount for each transaction under such agreement and comparing that amount to the value of any collateral currently pledged by the Master Portfolio and the counterparty.

Cash collateral that has been pledged to cover obligations of the Master Portfolio and cash collateral received from the counterparty, if any, is reported separately on the Consolidated Statement of Assets and Liabilities as cash pledged as collateral and cash received as collateral, respectively. Non-cash collateral pledged by the Master Portfolio, if any, is noted in the Consolidated Schedule of Investments. Generally, the amount of collateral due from or to a party has to exceed a minimum transfer amount threshold (typically either $250,000 or $500,000) before a transfer is required, which is determined at the close of business of the Master Portfolio and any additional required collateral is delivered to/pledged by the Master Portfolio on the next business day. Typically, the Master Portfolio and counterparties are not permitted to sell, re-pledge or use the collateral they receive. To the extent amounts due to the Master Portfolio from its counterparties are not fully collateralized, contractually or otherwise, the Master Portfolio bears the risk of loss from counterparty non-performance. Each Master Portfolio attempts to mitigate counterparty risk by entering into agreements only with counterparties that it believes have the financial resources to honor their obligations and by monitoring the financial stability of those counterparties.

For financial reporting purposes, the Master Portfolio does not offset derivative assets and derivative liabilities that are subject to netting arrangements, if any, in the Consolidated Statement of Assets and Liabilities.

The Manager voluntarily agreed to waive its investment advisory fees by the amount of investment advisory fees the Master Portfolio pays to the Manager indirectly through its investment in affiliated money market funds. However, the Manager does not waive its investment advisory fees by the amount of investment advisory fees paid in connection with the Master Portfolio’s investment in other affiliated investment companies, if any. This amount is shown as fees waived by Manager in the Consolidated Statement of Operations.

The Manager provides investment management and other services to the Subsidiary. The Manager does not receive separate compensation from the Subsidiary for providing investment management or administrative services.

7. Borrowings:

The Master LLC, on behalf of the Master Portfolio, along with certain other funds managed by the Manager and its affiliates (“Participating Funds”), is a party to a 364-day, $800 million credit agreement with a group of lenders, under which the Master Portfolio may borrow to fund shareholder redemptions. The agreement expires in April 2014. Excluding commitments designated for a certain individual fund, other Participating Funds, including the Master Portfolio, can borrow up to an aggregate commitment amount of $500 million, subject to asset coverage and other limitations as specified in the agreement. The credit agreement has the following terms: a fee of 0.065% per annum on unused commitment

amounts and interest at a rate equal to the higher of (a) the one-month LIBOR plus 0.80% per annum or (b) the Fed Funds rate plus 0.80% per annum on amounts borrowed. Participating Funds paid administration and arrangement fees, which, along with commitment fees, were allocated among such funds based upon portions of the aggregate commitment available to them and relative net assets of Participating Funds. The Master Portfolio did not borrow under the credit agreement during the six months ended March 31, 2014.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (concluded)      Master Total Return Portfolio   

 

 

For the six months ended March 31, 2014, the average amount of transactions considered as borrowings and the daily weighted average interest rate from reverse repurchase agreements and treasury roll transactions were $1,090,387,514 and 0.06%, respectively.

8. Concentration, Market and Credit Risk:

In the normal course of business, the Master Portfolio 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 (issuer credit risk). The value of securities held by the Master Portfolio may decline in response to certain events, including those directly involving the issuers whose securities are owned by the Master Portfolio; 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 issuer credit risk, the Master Portfolio may be exposed to counterparty credit risk, or the risk that an entity with which the Master Portfolio has unsettled or open transactions may fail to or be unable to perform on its commitments. The Master Portfolio manages counterparty credit risk by entering into transactions only with counterparties that it believes have the financial resources to honor their obligations and by monitoring the financial stability of those counterparties. Financial assets, which potentially expose the Master Portfolio to market, issuer and counterparty credit risks, consist principally of financial instruments and receivables due from counterparties. The extent of the Master Portfolio’s exposure to market, issuer and counterparty credit risks with respect to these financial assets is generally approximated by their value recorded in the Consolidated Statement of Assets and Liabilities, less any collateral held by the Master Portfolio.

The Master Portfolio invests a significant portion of its assets in fixed-income securities and/or uses derivatives tied to the fixed income markets. See the Consolidated Schedule of Investments for these securities and/or derivatives. Changes in market interest rates or economic condi-

tions, including the Federal Reserve’s decision in December 2013 to taper its quantitative easing policy, may affect the value and/or liquidity of such investments. Interest rate risk is the risk that prices of bonds and other fixed-income securities will increase as interest rates fall and decrease as interest rates rise. The Master Portfolio may be subject to a greater risk of rising interest rates due to the current period of historically low rates.

The Master Portfolio invests a significant portion of its assets in securities backed by commercial or residential mortgage loans or in issuers that hold mortgage and other asset-backed securities. Please see the Consolidated Schedule of Investments for these securities. Changes in economic conditions, including delinquencies and/or defaults on assets underlying these securities, can affect the value, income and/or liquidity of such positions.

9. Subsequent Events:

Management’s evaluation of the impact of all subsequent events on the Master Portfolio’s consolidated financial statements was completed through the date the consolidated financial statements were issued and the following item was noted:

Effective April 24, 2014, the credit agreement was terminated and a new agreement was entered into. The Master Portfolio became a party to a 364-day, $1.1 billion credit agreement, which expires in April 2015. Excluding commitments designated for a certain individual fund, the Master Portfolio can borrow up to an aggregate commitment amount of $650 million, subject to asset coverage and other limitations as specified in the agreement. The credit agreement has the following terms: a fee of 0.06% per annum on unused commitment amounts and interest at a rate equal to the higher of (a) the one-month LIBOR plus 0.80% per annum or (b) the Fed Funds rate plus 0.80% per annum on amounts borrowed.
