Dear Investors:

 

On behalf of the Board of Trustees, we are pleased to submit the 2015 Semi-Annual Report for Plan Investment Fund, Inc. (“PIF”).

 

PIF is available exclusively to Blue Cross and Blue Shield entities. The two Ultrashort Duration portfolios, the Government/REPO portfolio, and the Money Market portfolio provide the Blue System with a range of choices for overnight and ultra-short term investment horizons. The overall objective of these funds continues to be focused on providing a regular stream of income with minimal volatility, adequate liquidity and capital preservation.

 

Management is keenly aware of the regulatory changes that are facing our industry through money market reform, and we remain committed to our investors by providing premier investment solutions.

 

 

Sincerely,

 

 

Susan A. Pickar

 

President and Chief Executive Officer

 

Investments in money market funds are neither insured nor guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other government agency. Although the PIF money market portfolios seek to preserve the value of your investment of $1.00 per share, it is possible to lose money by investing in the portfolios.

 

Bonds offer a relatively stable level of income, although bond prices will fluctuate providing the potential for principal gain or loss. Intermediate-term, higher quality bonds generally offer less risk than longer term bonds and a lower rate of return. Generally, a fund’s fixed income securities will decrease in value if interest rates rise and vice versa.

 

This report is intended for shareholders of the Funds and is preceded or accompanied by a current prospectus.

Plan Investment Fund, Inc.

Notes to Financial Statements

(Unaudited)

June 30, 2015

 

Note 1. Organization

 

Plan Investment Fund, Inc. (the “Fund”) is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), as an open-end registered investment company and in accordance with the Financial Standards Accounting Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards update 2013-08, follows accounting and reporting guidance under FASB Accounting Standards Codification Topic 946, Financial Services-Investment Companies. The Fund consists of four separate diversified portfolios: the Government/REPO Portfolio, the Money Market Portfolio, the Ultrashort Duration Government Portfolio and the Ultrashort Duration Bond Portfolio (each, a “Portfolio” and collectively, the “Portfolios”).

 

The Government/REPO Portfolio — a money market fund which seeks a high level of current income by investing in U.S. Government obligations and repurchase agreements relating to such obligations.

 

The Money Market Portfolio — a money market fund which seeks a high level of current income by investing in U.S. Government obligations and repurchase agreements relating to such obligations, and bank and commercial obligations.

 

The Ultrashort Duration Government Portfolio — a bond fund which seeks total return consistent with current income and capital preservation by investing primarily in U.S. Government securities and U.S. Government agency securities.

 

The Ultrashort Duration Bond Portfolio — a bond fund which seeks total return consistent with current income and capital preservation by investing primarily in a diversified portfolio of investment-grade debt securities.

 

Note 2. Significant Accounting Policies

 

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

 

Portfolio Valuation: The Ultrashort Duration Government and the Ultrashort Duration Bond Portfolios’ net asset value (“NAV”) is calculated once daily at the close of regular trading hours on the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) (generally 4:00 p.m. Eastern time) on each day the NYSE is open. Fixed income securities are fair valued using price evaluations provided by an independent pricing service approved by the Board of Trustees (the “Board”) which may use the following valuation inputs when available: benchmark yields, reported trades, broker/dealer quotes, issuer spreads, benchmark securities, bids and offers and reference data including market research publications. Fixed income securities acquired with remaining maturities of 60 days or less are valued using the amortized cost method when it represents the best estimate of fair value. Under this method, securities are valued at cost when purchased and, thereafter, a constant proportionate accretion and amortization of any discounts and premiums are recorded until effective maturity or sale of the security.

 

Investments in other open-end investment companies, if held, are valued based on the NAV of the investment companies (which use fair value pricing as discussed in their prospectuses). If price quotes are unavailable or deemed unreliable, securities will be fair valued in accordance with procedures adopted by the Board.

 

For the Government/REPO Portfolio and the Money Market Portfolio, the NAV is calculated as of 4:00 p.m. (Eastern Time). Pursuant to Rule 2a-7 of the 1940 Act, securities are valued using the amortized cost method, when it represents the best estimate of fair value. The Government/Repo Portfolio and Money Market Portfolio seek to maintain a continuous NAV of $1.00 and have adopted certain investment policies, portfolio valuation and dividend and distribution policies to enable them to do so. There is no assurance that such portfolios will maintain a stable NAV of $1.00.

 

Securities Transactions and Investment Income: For financial reporting purposes, investment transactions are recorded on the trade date. Realized gains and losses on investments sold are recorded on the identified cost basis. Gains and losses on principal paydowns from mortgage backed securities are recorded as interest income on the Statement of Operations. Interest income is recorded on the accrual basis. Market discounts and premiums on securities purchased are amortized on an effective yield basis over the estimated lives of the respective securities for the Ultrashort Duration Government and Ultrashort Duration Bond Portfolios.

(Continued)

 

Dividends and Distributions to Participation Certificate Holders: Dividends from net investment income of the Portfolios are declared daily and paid monthly. The Government/REPO and Money Market Portfolios intend, subject to the use of offsetting capital loss carryforwards, to distribute net realized short and long-term capital gains, if any, throughout each year. Distributions, if any, of net short-term capital gain and net capital gain (the excess of net long-term capital gain over the short-term capital loss) realized by the Ultrashort Duration Government and Ultrashort Duration Bond Portfolios, after deducting any available capital loss carryovers, are declared and paid to their shareholders annually. Income dividends and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with U.S. federal income tax regulations, which may differ from United States Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“U.S. GAAP”). Permanent book and tax basis differences relating to shareholder distributions will result in reclassifications within the components of net assets.

 

Federal Income Taxes: No provision is made for federal taxes as it is each Portfolio’s intention to continue to qualify as a regulated investment company and to comply with the requirements of Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code and to distribute substantially all of its net investment income to Participation Certificate (“PC”) holders, which will be sufficient to relieve each Portfolio from all, or substantially all, federal income and excise taxes. The tax character of distributions for the period of January 1, 2015 through June 30, 2015 will be determined at the end of the Portfolios fiscal year.

 

Repurchase Agreements: Each Portfolio may enter into repurchase agreements under the terms of a Master Repurchase Agreement with financial institutions such as banks and broker-dealers subject to the seller’s agreement to repurchase them at an agreed upon date and price (“repurchase agreements”). The repurchase price generally equals the price paid by the Portfolio plus interest negotiated on the basis of current short-term rates. Collateral for repurchase agreements may have longer maturities than the maximum permissible remaining maturity of Portfolio investments. The seller under a repurchase agreement is required on a daily basis to maintain the value of the securities subject to the agreement at not less than the repurchase price. The agreement is conditioned upon the collateral being deposited under the Federal Reserve book entry system or held in a separate account by the Fund’s custodian, sub-custodian or an authorized securities depository. The collateral consists of U.S. Government and U.S. Government agency securities the market value of which, on a daily basis, including any accrued interest, is equal to at least 100% of the purchase price plus accrued interest. Upon an event of default under the terms of the Master Repurchase Agreements, both parties have the right to set-off. If the seller defaults or enters into insolvency proceeding, realization of the collateral by the company may be delayed or limited. At June 30, 2015, the Portfolios held repurchase agreements, which are included in Repurchase Agreements, at amortized cost, which approximates fair value in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. The value of the related collateral that the Portfolios received for each of these agreements exceeded the value of each repurchase agreement at June 30, 2015 and is disclosed in the Schedule of Investments.

 

Expenses: Expenses are recorded on the accrual basis. Each Portfolio pays the expenses that are directly related to its operations, such as Portfolio management fees or custodial fees. Expenses incurred by the Fund on behalf of each Portfolio, such as trustee or legal fees, are allocated among each of the Portfolios either proportionately based upon each Portfolio’s net assets or using another reasonable basis such as equally across each Portfolio, depending on the nature of the expense.

 

Management Estimates: The preparation of financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

Note 3. Fair Value Measurement

 

Fair Value Measurement: The inputs and valuation techniques used to measure fair value of the Portfolios’ investments are summarized into three levels as described in the hierarchy below:

 

·              Level 1 – quoted prices in active markets for identical securities

 

·              Level 2 – other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.)

 

·              Level 3 – significant unobservable inputs (including the Portfolio’s own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments)

Securities held within the Government/REPO Portfolio and the Money Market Portfolio are valued at amortized cost, in accordance with Rule 2a-7 under the 1940 Act. Generally, amortized cost approximates the current fair value of a security, but since the value is not obtained from a quoted price in an active market, such securities are reflected as Level 2. Fixed- income securities held within the Ultrashort Duration Government Portfolio and the Ultrashort Duration Bond Portfolio are valued at fair value using price evaluations provided by an independent pricing service which may use the following inputs available: benchmark yields, reported trades, broker/dealer quotes, issuer spreads, benchmark securities, bids and offers and reference data including market research publications. A summary of the inputs used to value the Portfolios’ net assets as of June 30, 2015 is as follows:

At the end of each calendar quarter, management evaluates the Levels 1, 2 and 3 assets and liabilities. Various factors are considered, such as: changes in market activity from the prior reporting period, whether or not a broker is willing to execute at the quoted price and the depth and consistency of prices from third party services.

 

Due to the inherent uncertainty of determining the fair value of investments that do not have a readily available fair value, the fair value of the Portfolios’ investments may fluctuate from period to period. Additionally, the fair value of investments may differ significantly from the values that would have been used had a readily available market existed for such investments and may differ materially from the values the Portfolios’ may ultimately realize. Further, such investments may be subject to legal and other restrictions on resale or otherwise less liquid than publicly traded securities.

 

For the six months ended June 30, 2015, there were no transfers between Levels 1, 2 and 3 for the Portfolios. The portfolios disclose all transfers between levels based on valuations at the end of each reporting period.

 

The inputs or methodologies used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.

Note 4. Transactions with Affiliates, Related Parties and Other Fee Arrangements

 

The Fund has entered into agreements for advisory, service agent, administrative, custodian and transfer agent services as follows:

 

BCS Financial Services Corporation (the “Administrator”), serves as the Fund’s administrator with respect to the Fund’s overall operations and relations with holders of PCs. Certain officers or employees of the Administrator are also officers of the Fund. All officers serve without compensation from the Fund. As compensation for its services, each Portfolio pays the Administrator fee, computed daily and paid monthly, at an annual rate not to exceed 0.05% of the average daily net assets of each of the Fund’s Portfolios.

 

BlackRock Advisors, LLC (“BALLC”), a wholly-owned indirect subsidiary of BlackRock, Inc., serves as the Government/REPO Portfolio’s and Money Market Portfolio’s investment advisor and service agent. As servicing agent, BALLC maintains the financial accounts and records, and computes the net asset value and net income for both Portfolios. BALLC subcontracts certain administrative services to BNY Mellon Investment Servicing (U.S.), Inc. (“BNY Mellon”). The PNC Financial Services Group, Inc. is the largest stockholder and an affiliate, for 1940 Act purposes, of BlackRock, Inc. As compensation for its services, the Government/REPO and Money Market Portfolios pay BALLC a fee, computed daily and paid monthly based upon an annualized percentage of the average net assets of each of the Portfolios, at the following rate: 0.20% of the first $250 million, 0.15% of the next $250 million, 0.12% of the next $250 million, 0.10% of the next $250 million, and 0.08% of amounts in excess of $1 billion.

 

BALLC has agreed to reduce the fees otherwise payable to it to the extent necessary to reduce the ordinary operating expenses of the Government/REPO Portfolio and Money Market Portfolio so that they individually do not exceed 0.30 of one percent (0.30%) of each Portfolio’s average net assets for the year. BALLC and the Administrator have agreed to waive fees (“other fee waivers”) such that the Government/REPO Portfolio’s ordinary operating expenses do not exceed 0.10 of one percent (0.10%) of the Portfolio’s average net assets. BALLC has agreed to waive fees to cap the total expense of the Money Market Portfolio at 17.5 basis points of the average net assets up to $1 billion, 16.0 basis points of the average net assets between $1 billion and $2 billion, and 15.5 basis points of the average net assets above $2 billion. The Administrator has agreed to waive one basis point of its contractual fees relating to the Money Market Portfolio. The Administrator and BALLC cannot terminate such fee waivers prior to May 1, 2016 without the consent of the Board of Trustees of the Fund.

 

For the Government/REPO Portfolio and the Money Market Portfolio, the Administrator has further agreed that if for any day, after giving effect to all expenses, including without limitation any extraordinary expenses, the “portfolio yield” would be less than 0.01%, the Administrator shall waive that portion of its fees for such day so that after giving effect to such waiver and any other fee waivers, the portfolio yield for such day would be not less than 0.01%. The Administrator has agreed that if after giving effect to such waiver and other fee waivers, the portfolio yield for such day would be less than 0.01%, the Administrator shall waive all of its fees for such day. BALLC has further agreed that if for any day, after giving effect to any other fee waivers and the Administrator fee waiver, the portfolio yield would be less than 0.01%, BALLC shall waive that portion of its fees for such day so that after giving effect to such waiver, the other fee waivers and the Administrator fee waiver, the portfolio yield for such day would be not less than 0.01%. BALLC has agreed that if after giving effect to such waiver, the other fee waivers and the Administrator fee waiver, the portfolio yield for such day would be less than 0.01%, BALLC shall waive all of its fees for such day. The Administrator and BALLC cannot terminate such fee waivers prior to May 1, 2016 without the consent of the Board of Trustees of the Fund.

 

Merganser Capital Management, LLC (“Merganser”) serves as the Ultrashort Duration Government and Ultrashort Duration Bond Portfolios (the “Ultrashort Portfolios”) investment advisor. As compensation for its services the Ultrashort Portfolios paid Merganser a fee, computed daily and paid monthly based on the average aggregate net assets in the Ultrashort Portfolios, at the following rate: 0.20% of the first $250 million, 0.15% of the next $250 million, and 0.10% of amounts in excess of $500 million.

The Administrator has agreed to waive the fees otherwise payable to it to the extent necessary to reduce the ordinary operating expenses of the Ultrashort Duration Government Portfolio and the Ultrashort Duration Bond Portfolio so that they individually do not exceed 0.40 of one percent (0.40%) of each Ultrashort Portfolio’s average daily net assets for the year. Merganser has agreed to waive fees otherwise payable to it by the Ultrashort Duration Government Portfolio and the Ultrashort Duration Bond Portfolio, so that such fees, computed daily and payable monthly, based on the average aggregate net assets held in the Portfolios are at the following rate: 0.15% of the first $200 million, 0.125% of the next $300 million, and 0.10% of amounts in excess of $500 million. The Administrator and Merganser cannot terminate such fee waivers prior to May 1, 2016 without the consent of the Board of Trustees of the Fund.

 

BALLC, Merganser and the Administrator will not recoup any previously waived or reimbursed fees/expenses (past or present) in any subsequent years.

 

As a result of the foregoing waivers and reimbursements, for the six months ended June 30, 2015, the Administrator waived $20,958, $25,236 and $14,149 which the Administrator was entitled to as the fees for its services as administrator for the Government/REPO Portfolio, Money Market Portfolio and Ultrashort Duration Government Portfolio, respectively. In addition, the Administrator reimbursed expenses of $7,746 and $34,336 for the Government/REPO Portfolio and Ultrashort Duration Government Portfolio, respectively. BALLC waived $82,735 and $268,431 of advisory fees for the Government/ REPO Portfolio and Money Market Portfolio, respectively, for the six months ended June 30, 2015. Merganser waived $14,844 and $56,510 of advisory fees for the Ultrashort Duration Government Portfolio and Ultrashort Duration Bond Portfolio, respectively, for the six months ended June 30, 2015.

 

The Bank of New York Mellon (the “Custodian”) acts as custodian of the Fund’s assets and BNY Mellon acts as the Fund’s accounting agent, transfer agent and dividend disbursing agent. Both the Custodian and BNY Mellon are wholly owned subsidiaries of The Bank of New York Mellon Corporation. The Custodian and BNY Mellon earn fees from the Fund for serving in these capacities.

 

Foreside Fund Services is the Fund’s distributor (the “Distributor”). The Distributor is neither affiliated with the Administrator, BALLC, Merganser, The Bank of New York nor its affiliated companies. The Fund does not have a distribution plan (under Rule 12b-1 of the Act); accordingly, the Distributor receives no compensation from the Fund for its distribution services.

 

Pursuant to a Compliance Services Agreement with the Fund, Foreside Compliance Services, LLC (“FCS”), an affiliate of the Distributor, provides a Chief Compliance Officer to the Fund as well as some additional compliance support functions. FCS is paid an annual fee plus out of pocket expenses for these services related to the Fund’s compliance program. The Fund’s Chief Compliance Officer is a Managing Director of FCS.

 

Pursuant to a Fund CFO/Treasurer Agreement with the Fund that was executed on June 22, 2015, Foreside Management Services, LLC (“FMS”), an affiliate of the Distributor and FCS, provides Fund Treasurer and Principal Financial Services to the Fund. FMS is paid an annual fee plus out of pocket expenses for these services.

 

Note 5. Tax Information

 

The Portfolios have followed the authoritative guidance on accounting for and disclosure of uncertainty in tax positions, which requires the Portfolios to determine whether a tax position is more likely than not to be sustained upon examination, including resolution of any related appeals or litigation processes, based on the technical merits of the position. The Portfolios have determined that there was no effect on the financial statements from following this authoritative guidance. In the normal course of business, the Portfolios are subject to examination by federal, state and local jurisdictions, where applicable, for the tax years 2011, 2012, 2013 and 2014 for the Government/REPO and Money Market Portfolios and 2012, 2013 and 2014 for the Ultrashort Duration Government and Ultrashort Duration Bond Portfolios.

Note 7. Significant Risks

 

Mortgage-Related and Other Asset-Backed Securities Risk — Mortgage-related and asset-backed securities are subject to certain other risks. The value of these securities will be influenced by the factors affecting the housing market and the assets underlying such securities. As a result, during periods of declining asset values, difficult or frozen credit markets, swings in interest rates, or deteriorating economic conditions, mortgage-related and asset-backed securities may decline in value, face valuation difficulties, become more volatile and/or become illiquid.

 

Concentration Risk — A substantial part of the Money Market Portfolio’s assets may be directly or indirectly comprised of obligations of banks. As a result, the Portfolio may be more susceptible to any economic, business, political or other developments which generally affect these entities.

 

Note 8. Money Market Reform

 

On July 23, 2014, the SEC voted to amend the rules under the 1940 Act which currently govern the operations of the Government/REPO Portfolio and the Money Market Fund Portfolio. A significant change resulting from these amendments is a requirement that institutional (i.e. not retail as defined in the amendments) prime, including institutional municipal money market funds, transact fund shares based on a market-based NAV (i.e., a floating NAV). Other types of money market funds may continue to transact fund shares at a NAV calculated using the amortized cost valuation method. Among additional disclosure and other requirements, the amendments will also permit a money market fund, or, in certain circumstances, require a money market fund (other than a government money market fund which satisfies the requirements of the amended rules) to impose liquidity fees on all redemptions, and permit a money market fund to limit (or gate) redemptions for up to 10 business days in any 90-day period. The amendments have staggered compliance dates. Compliance with a majority of these amendments will be required on October 14, 2016, two years after the effective date for the rule amendments. The degree to which a money market fund will be impacted by the rule amendments will depend upon the type of fund and type of investors (retail or institutional).

 

Fund management continues to evaluate the impact of such amendments on the Fund’s operations, financial statements and accompanying notes. At this time, the Fund does not anticipate there will be a significant impact to the Government/REPO Portfolio, however, there could be a significant impact to the Money Market Portfolio, including a requirement that the Money Market Portfolio transacts PCs based on a market-based NAV instead of the amortized cost valuation method.

 

Note 9. Subsequent Events

 

Management has evaluated the impact of all subsequent events on the Fund through the date the financial statements were issued, and has determined that there were no subsequent events.

Fund Expense Examples

(Unaudited)

June 30, 2015

 

As a shareholder of a Portfolio, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees and other Portfolio expenses. This Example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Portfolio and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.

 

The Example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire six months ended June 30, 2015.

 

Actual Expenses

 

The first line of the table below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expense that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first line under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During Six Months Ended June 30, 2015” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.

 

Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes

 

The second line of the table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Portfolio’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Portfolio’s actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Portfolio and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of other funds.

 

Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs. Therefore, the second line of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

Approval of Investment Advisory Agreement

 

Background and Approval Process. BlackRock Advisors, LLC (“BALLC”) and Merganser Capital Management, LLC (“Merganser”) (each an “Advisor” and collectively the “Advisors”) serve as Investment Advisors to Plan Investment Fund, Inc. (the “Fund”). BALLC serves as the Investment Advisor to the Government/REPO Portfolio and the Money Market Portfolio and Merganser serves as the Investment Advisor to the Ultrashort Duration Government Portfolio and the Ultrashort Duration Bond Portfolio (each, a “Portfolio”) pursuant to separate investment advisory agreements (the “Advisory Agreements”) with the Fund. The Advisory Agreements were initially approved by the Board of Trustees (“Board” or the “Trustees”) at the inception of each Fund for two-year terms. The Advisory Agreements continue thereafter if approved annually by the Trustees, including a majority of the Trustees who are not “interested persons” (as defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”)) of the Fund (the “Independent Trustees”), by a vote cast in person at a meeting called for the purpose of voting on the Advisory Agreements. The Advisory Agreements for each Fund were most recently considered by the Board at a meeting held on March 19, 2015.

 

As part of the annual contract review process, the Independent Trustees, through their independent legal counsel, requested and received extensive materials, including information relating to (i) the nature, extent and quality of services provided by the Advisors, including compliance with legal requirements, (ii) short-term and long-term performance of each Portfolio relative to peer groups and market indices, (iii) the costs of the services provided and the Advisors’ profitability with respect to the management of each Portfolio, (iv) the extent to which the Advisors have in the past or are likely in the future to experience economies of scale in connection with the investment advisory services provided to each Portfolio, (v) the expense ratios of each Portfolio as compared with the expense ratios of their peer group and (vi) any benefits to the Advisors and their affiliates from their relationship with the Portfolios. The information provided by the Advisors in response to the Board’s requests supplemented information received by the Board throughout the year, both in writing and in meetings, regarding the Portfolios, including Portfolio performance, expense ratios, portfolio composition and regulatory compliance. The Independent Trustees, through their independent legal counsel, then held conferences with each Advisor to discuss follow-up questions to which they received responses in advance of the March Board meeting.

 

At the March Board meeting, representatives of each Advisor discussed certain responses with the Trustees and responded to their further questions. The Trustees considered the factors set out in case law and identified by the Securities and Exchange Commission as most relevant in considering the renewal of investment advisory agreements. The Trustees considered these and other factors, as summarized in more detail below, and concluded that the terms of each Advisory Agreement are fair and reasonable and the continuance of each Agreement is in the best interests of the applicable Portfolio.

 

Nature, Extent and Quality of Services. As part of the Board’s decision-making process, the Trustees noted that the Advisors have managed the Portfolios since their inception, and the Trustees believe that a long-term relationship with capable, conscientious investment advisers is in the best interests of the Portfolios. The Trustees also considered that Participant Certificate holders invest in a Fund specifically seeking the Advisor’s investment expertise and style. The Trustees also noted that when Participant Certificate holders invest in a Portfolio, they know the advisory fee that is paid by the Portfolio. In this connection, the Trustees considered, in particular, whether each Portfolio is managed in accordance with its investment objective and policies as disclosed to Participant Certificate holders. The Trustees concluded that each Portfolio is managed consistent with its investment objective and policies.

 

The Trustees reviewed information regarding various services provided by the Advisors to the Portfolios, including organizational charts and background information on personnel performing such services as well as their education and experience. The Trustees also reviewed each Portfolio’s performance and information regarding the Advisors’ investment programs. The Trustees considered the depth and quality of the Advisors’ investment processes, the overall stability of the each organization, and the experience, capability and integrity of its senior management. The Trustees reviewed the Fund’s compliance program and each Advisor’s commitment to a rigorous compliance effort and the resultant compliance by the Portfolios and the Advisors with legal requirements. The reputation of BALLC and Merganser and their financial resources also were taken into consideration.

 

Based on their review, the Trustees concluded that the nature, extent and quality of services provided (and expected to be provided) to each Portfolio under its Advisory Agreement were of a high level and were very satisfactory.

Investment Performance of the Portfolios and the Advisors. The Trustees noted that they review data on the short-term and long-term performance of the Portfolios in connection with each Board meeting. For the March Board meeting, the Trustees reviewed and considered information about the investment performance of each Portfolio, as well as the performance of funds with similar investment classifications and objectives (“performance universe”). The funds included within each Portfolio’s performance universe were selected by Lipper, Inc. (“Lipper”), an independent provider of data to mutual fund boards. The Trustees also considered performance information through February 2015 that was provided by the Fund’s administrator. The Trustees concluded that the performance of each Portfolio was competitive with its performance universe as reported by Lipper.

 

Fees, Expenses and Profitability. The Trustees reviewed expense data compiled from Lipper and information provided by the Advisors regarding the Portfolios’ advisory fees and expense ratios, including information regarding any expense caps for the Portfolios. The Trustees reviewed data showing how the Portfolios’ advisory fees and expense ratios compared to those of a peer group of funds with similar asset levels and expense structures. The Trustees also reviewed information provided by BALLC and Merganser regarding the services rendered and the fee rates offered to other clients, including other money market portfolios and other ultrashort duration portfolios. The Trustees concluded that the fees to be paid pursuant to the Advisory Agreements were fair and reasonable.

 

The Trustees reviewed information concerning the estimated profitability to each Advisor of the Advisory Agreements, including information regarding the methodology for allocating expenses. The Trustees reviewed data regarding the Advisor’s variable and fixed expenses. The Trustees also recognized that individual fund or product line profitability of other advisors is generally not publicly available, and that profitability may be affected by numerous factors, so that the comparability of profitability among advisory firms is limited. The Trustees concluded that the level of estimated profitability to each Advisor under the Advisory Agreements was reasonable.

 

Economies of Scale and Whether Fee Levels Reflect These Economies of Scale. The Trustees considered information regarding staffing of the advisors and their investment in technology to the benefit of the Portfolios. It also considered information in the Lipper report regarding economies of scale. The Trustees concluded that the Portfolios’ Participant Certificate holders share in the additional services, investment in talented employees and capital improvements provided by the Advisors without an increase in advisory fees.

 

Indirect Benefits to the Advisors from their Relationship to the Portfolios. The Trustees considered information regarding any indirect benefits to the Advisors that could be identified from their relationship to the Portfolios. Based on their review, including their consideration of each of the factors referred to above, the Trustees, including all of the Independent Trustees, concluded that the terms of each Advisory Agreement are fair and reasonable and that the renewal of each Agreement is in the best interests of each Portfolio. No single factor was determinative in the Board’s analysis.

 

Form N-Q: The Fund files the Portfolios’ complete schedules of portfolio holdings with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) for the first and third quarters of each fiscal year on Form N-Q. The Fund’s Forms N-Q are available on the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov and are available for review and copying at the SEC’s Public Reference Room in Washington, D.C. Information on the operations of the Public Reference Room may be obtained by calling the SEC at (202) 942-8090. The Fund’s Forms N-Q may also be obtained, upon request, by calling (800) 621-9215.

 

Proxy Voting: The Fund’s Proxy Voting Policies and Procedures, used to determine how to vote proxies relating to portfolio securities, are included in the Fund’s Statement of Additional Information, and are also available (i) upon request, without charge, by calling (800) 621-9215 or (ii) on the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov.
