Dear Investors:

On behalf of the Board of Trustees I am pleased to submit the 2012 Semi-Annual Report for Plan Investment Fund, Inc. In addition to the Government/REPO Portfolio and the Money Market Portfolio this is also the first report on the new Ultrashort Duration Government Portfolio and the Ultrashort Duration Bond Portfolio. Both portfolios were opened in March 2012 and we believe they are off to a good start. We sincerely appreciate your ongoing support and we will continue to work diligently to maintain your trust and confidence.

As always, we welcome your ideas or comments regarding Plan Investment Fund, Inc.

 

  Sincerely,

Dale E. Palka

President and Chief Executive Officer

Past performance is not a guarantee of future results. The investment return and the principal value of an investment in Ultrashort Duration Government Portfolio and the Ultrashort Duration Bond Portfolio will fluctuate so that an investor’s participation certificates, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Current performance may be lower or higher than the performance data contained in this report. Current month end data is available at www.pif.com.

An investor should consider the investment objectives, risks, and charges and expenses of the Portfolios carefully before investing. The prospectuses for the Portfolios contain this and other information about the Portfolios and should be read before investing. The prospectuses may be obtained by downloading them from the Fund’s website (www.pif.com) or by calling (866) 689-4856.

Plan Investment Fund, Inc.

Notes to Financial Statements

(Unaudited)

June 30, 2012

Note 1. Organization

Plan Investment Fund, Inc. (the “Fund”) is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), as a diversified open-end registered investment company. The Fund consists of four separate portfolios: the Government/REPO Portfolio, the Money Market Portfolio, the Ultrashort Duration Government Portfolio and the Ultrashort Duration Bond Portfolio (the “Portfolio(s)”).

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. This Portfolio commenced operations on March 7, 2012.

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. This Portfolio commenced operations on March 6, 2012.

Note 2. Significant Accounting Policies

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.

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 12 Noon (Eastern Time) and as of 4:00 p.m. (Eastern Time). This is only done on business days on which purchase orders or redemption orders are placed for that Portfolio and there is sufficient trading in instruments held in that Portfolio so that its NAV might be affected materially. Pursuant to Rule 2a-7 of the 1940 Act (as amended), securities are valued using the amortized cost method, which approximates fair value. Under this method, securities are valued at cost when purchased and thereafter a constant proportionate amortization of any discount or premium is recorded until effective maturity or sale of the security.

Securities Transactions and Investment Income: Securities 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 over the estimated lives of the respective securities.

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 monthly. Income dividends and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with U.S. federal income tax regulations, which may differ from U.S. GAAP. These differences include the treatment of non-taxable dividends, expiring capital loss carryforwards and losses deferred due to wash sales and excise tax regulations. Permanent book and tax basis differences relating to shareholder distributions will result in reclassifications within the components of net assets.

(Continued)

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. All distributions paid by the Portfolios for the period January 1, 2012 through June 30, 2012 were from ordinary income for U.S. income tax purposes.

In order to present net assets that more closely represent their tax character, certain reclassifications are made to the net asset components. For the six months ended June 30, 2012, the Money Market Portfolio distributed $13,622 in undistributed net realized short term gains, as of December 31, 2011. Current realized gains are being distributed to shareholders as net investment income. Dividends paid from net investment income and short-term capital gains are treated as ordinary income distributions for federal tax purposes.

Under the Regulated Investment Company Modernization Act of 2010 (the “Modernization Act”), the Portfolios are permitted to carry forward capital losses incurred in taxable years beginning after December 22, 2010 for an unlimited period. Any losses incurred during those future taxable years will be required to be utilized prior to any losses incurred in pre-enactment taxable years. Additionally, post-enactment capital losses that are carried forward will retain their character as either short-term or long-term capital losses rather than being considered all short-term as under the previous law.

Repurchase Agreements: Each Portfolio may purchase money market instruments from 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 or an authorized securities depository. All repurchase agreements held as of June 30, 2012 were entered into on June 29, 2012.

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, prepay- ment speeds, credit risk, etc.)

 

   

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

(Continued)

Securities held within the Government/REPO Portfolio and the Money Market Portfolio are valued at amortized cost, in accordance with rules 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 with remaining maturities of greater than sixty days 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. If the remaining maturities of the fixed-income securities and repurchase agreements is sixty days or less the amortized cost is used as it represents fair value. A summary of the inputs used to value the Portfolios’ net assets as of June 30, 2012 is as follows:

* Please refer to the schedule of investments for industry and security type breakouts.

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, 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 market 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, 2012, there were no transfers between Levels 1, 2 and 3 for the Portfolios.

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

Certain officers or employees of BCSFSC are also officers of the Fund. All officers serve without compensation from the Fund. As compensation for its services, each Portfolio pays BCSFSC a 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.

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 BCSFSC 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 for those assets up to $1 billion, 16.0 basis points for those assets between $1 billion and $2 billion, and 15.5 basis points for those assets above $2 billion. BCSFSC has agreed to waive one basis point of its contractual fees relating to the Money Market Portfolio. BCSFSC and BALLC cannot terminate such fee waivers prior to May 1, 2013 without the consent of the Board of Trustees of the Fund. The Fund expects to be able to continue some or all of such fee waivers beyond May 1, 2013 but it cannot be assured that BALLC or BCSFSC will agree to such continuance.

For the Government/REPO Portfolio and the Money Market Portfolio, BCSFSC 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%, BCSFSC 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% . BCSFSC 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%, BCSFSC 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 BCSFSC 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 BCSFSC 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 BCSFSC fee waiver, the portfolio yield for such day would be less than 0.01%, BALLC shall waive all of its fees for such day. BCSFSC and BALLC cannot terminate such fee waivers prior to May 1, 2013 without the consent of the Board of Trustees of the Fund.

Merganser Capital Management, Inc. (“Merganser”), serves as the Ultrashort Duration Government and Ultrashort Duration Bond Portfolios’ investment advisor. As compensation for its services the Portfolios pay Merganser a fee, computed daily and paid monthly based on the average aggregate net assets in the 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.

BCSFSC 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 Portfolio’s average daily net assets for the year. Merganser has agreed to waive fees otherwise payable to it by the Fund with respect to 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 $100 million, and 0.10% of amounts in excess of $500 million. BCSFSC and Merganser cannot terminate such fee waivers prior to May 31, 2013 without the consent of the Board of Trustees of the Fund.

The Bank of New York Mellon (the “Custodian”) acts as custodian of the Fund’s assets and BNY Mellon Investment Servicing (US) Inc. (“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.

Note 5. Uncertain Tax Positions

Management has analyzed the Portfolios’ tax positions taken on federal and state income tax returns for all open tax years (2008 through 2011), and has concluded that no provision for federal income tax is required in the Portfolios’ financial statements. The Portfolios’ federal and state income and federal excise tax returns for tax years for which the applicable statutes of limitations have not expired are subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service and state departments of revenue.

Note 6. Purchases and Sales of Investments

Aggregate purchases and proceeds from sales, paydowns and maturities of investment securities (other than short-term investments) for the six months ended June 30, 2012 were as follows:

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.

Note 8. New Accounting Pronouncement

In December 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2011-11, Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities (“ASU 2011-11”). ASU 2011-11 requires disclosures to make financial statements that are prepared under U.S. GAAP more comparable to those prepared under International Financial Reporting Standards. The new disclosure requirements mandate that entities disclose both gross and net information about instruments and transactions eligible for offset in the statement of assets and liabilities as well as instruments and transactions subject to an agreement similar to a master netting arrangement. In addition, ASU 2011-11 requires disclosure of collateral received and posted in connection with master netting agreements or similar arrangements. New disclosures are required for annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2013, and interim periods within those annual periods. Management is evaluating the impact of ASU 2011-11 on the financial statements and disclosures.

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, 2012

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, 2012.

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, 2012” 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.

Plan Investment Fund, Inc.

Approval of Investment Advisory and Service Agreements

(Unaudited)

June 30, 2012

Board of Trustees’ Consideration of the Investment Advisory and Service Agreements. The Investment Advisory and Service Agreements (“Advisory Agreements”) between Plan Investment Fund, Inc. (“PIF”) and BlackRock Advisors, LLC (“BALLC” or “Investment Advisor”), were most recently approved by the Board of Trustees (the “Board” or the “Trustees”) of PIF, including a majority of the Trustees who are not parties to the Advisory Agreements or interested persons (as such term is defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940) of any such party (the “Independent Trustees”), at an in-person meeting of the Board held on April 20, 2012. In determining to approve the Advisory Agreements, the Trustees met with the relevant investment advisory personnel from BALLC and considered all information they deemed reasonably necessary to evaluate the terms of the Advisory Agreements. The Board received materials in advance of the meeting relating to its consideration of the Advisory Agreements for the Government/REPO and Money Market Portfolios the (“Portfolios”), including, among other things: (i) fees and expense ratios of each Portfolio; (ii) information on the investment performance of each Portfolio in comparison to the investment performance of a peer group of funds; (iii) information with respect to profitability of BlackRock, Inc. (“BlackRock”) and PNC Bank-affiliated companies for the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010; and (iv) information regarding fees paid to service providers that are affiliates of the Investment Advisor. At the November 18, 2011 Board meeting, the Trustees reviewed a report from Lipper, Inc. (“Lipper”), an independent provider of investment company data. The report contained, along with other information, data regarding fees and expense ratios of each Portfolio in comparison to the fees and expense ratios of a peer group of funds and investment performance of each Portfolio in comparison to the investment performance of a peer group of funds.

Fees and Expenses. In approving the Advisory Agreements, the Trustees, including the Independent Trustees, took into account fees, both before and after any fee waivers and expense reimbursements, and expense ratios of each Portfolio against fees and expense ratios of a peer group of funds with similar asset levels and expense structures (a “peer group”). Both the peer group category and the funds within the peer group with respect to the fee and expense comparisons were selected by Lipper.

The Trustees were also provided with information about the services rendered, and the fee rates offered, to other clients advised by BALLC, including other money market funds. Based upon all of the information received, the Trustees concluded that the fees to be paid pursuant to the Advisory Agreements were fair and reasonable.

Nature, Extent and Quality of Services. The Trustees received information concerning the investment philosophy and investment process used by the Investment Advisor in managing the Portfolios. In connection with this information, the Trustees considered the Investment Advisor’s in-house research capabilities as well as other resources available to the Investment Advisor’s personnel.

The Trustees also considered the quality of the services provided by the Investment Advisor to the Portfolios. The Trustees received and considered information regarding the procedures of the Investment Advisor designed to fulfill its duties to the Portfolios with respect to compliance matters.

The Trustees considered information relating to the education, experience and number of investment professionals and other personnel who provide services under the Advisory Agreements. The reputation of BlackRock and its financial resources also were taken into consideration. The Trustees concluded that the services provided by the Investment Advisor were consistent with the Portfolios’ requirements and that the Investment Advisor appeared to have the necessary personnel and other resources to meet its obligations under the Advisory Agreements.

Fund Performance. The Board of Trustees, including the Independent Trustees, received and considered information about the investment performance of each Portfolio, as well as the performance of funds with the same investment classification and objective (“performance universe”). The funds included within each Portfolio’s performance universe were selected by Lipper. As previously mentioned, the Board was provided with performance data for each Portfolio over the one, two, three, five-year and since inception periods ended September 30, 2011. The Trustees concluded that the performance of each Portfolio was competitive with its performance universe as reported by Lipper.

Profitability. The Trustees received information regarding the profitability of BlackRock and they considered the profitability of the individual PIF portfolios. These portfolios represent a small portion of the total assets which BALLC manages.

(Concluded)

Economies of Scale. The Independent Trustees received and considered information in the Lipper report regarding economies-of-scale in light of existing breakpoints and the level of assets in the Fund over the past year. The Trustees concluded that the advisory fee structure was reasonable.

Other Benefits to the Investment Advisor. The Board of Trustees, including the Independent Trustees, also took into account not only the advisory fees payable by the Portfolios, but also potential benefits to the Investment Advisor, such as the engagement of affiliates of the Investment Advisor as service providers to the Portfolios, for administrative, transfer agency and custodial services.

No single factor was considered in isolation or was determinative to the decision of the Board to approve the Advisory Agreements. Rather, the Board concluded, in light of a weighing and balancing of all factors considered, that it was in the best interest of each Portfolio to approve the continuation of the Advisory Agreements, including the fees to be charged for services thereunder.
