MASTER INVESTMENT PORTFOLIO

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)

Master Investment Portfolio (“MIP”) is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), as an open-end series management investment company organized as a Delaware statutory trust. As of June 30, 2008, MIP offered the following separate portfolios: Active Stock, Bond Index, CoreAlpha Bond, Government Money Market, LifePath Retirement, LifePath 2010, LifePath 2020, LifePath 2030, LifePath 2040, LifePath 2050, Money Market, Prime Money Market, S&P 500 Index and Treasury Money Market Master Portfolios. The LifePath 2050 Master Portfolio commenced operations on June 30, 2008.

These financial statements relate only to the Bond Index and S&P 500 Index Master Portfolios (each, a “Master Portfolio,” collectively, the “Master Portfolios”).

Pursuant to MIP’s organizational documents, the Master Portfolios’ officers and trustees are indemnified against certain liabilities that may arise out of the performance of their duties to the Master Portfolios. Additionally, in the normal course of business, the Master Portfolios enter into contracts with service providers that contain general indemnification clauses. The Master Portfolios’ maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Master Portfolios that have not yet occurred.

 

1.   SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The following significant accounting policies are consistently followed by MIP in the preparation of its financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”). The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make certain estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

SECURITY VALUATION

The securities and other assets of each Master Portfolio are generally valued using market valuations. A market valuation generally means a valuation (i) obtained from an exchange, a pricing service or a major market maker (or dealer), (ii) based on a price quotation or other equivalent indication of value supplied by an exchange, a pricing service or a major market maker (or dealer) or (iii) based on amortized cost. In the case of shares of funds that are not traded on an exchange, a market valuation means such fund’s published net asset value per share. The investment adviser may use various pricing services or discontinue the use of any pricing service. A price obtained from a pricing service based on such pricing service’s valuation matrix may be considered a market valuation. In the event that current market valuations are not readily available or such valuations do not reflect current market values, the affected investments will be valued pursuant to the pricing policy and procedures approved by the Board of Trustees of MIP (the “Board”).

Effective January 1, 2008, the Master Portfolios adopted Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157 (“FAS 157”), “Fair Value Measurements.” This standard defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and expands disclosure about fair value measurements. Various inputs are used in determining the value of the Master Portfolios’ investments. These inputs are summarized in the three broad levels listed below.

 

   

Level 1 – quoted prices in active markets for identical investments

 

   

Level 2 – other significant observable inputs (including, but not limited to, quoted prices for similar investments, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.)

 

   

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

Investments that use Level 2 or Level 3 inputs may include, but are not limited to: (i) an unlisted security related to corporate actions; (ii) a restricted security (e.g., one that may not be publicly sold without registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended); (iii) a security whose trading has been suspended or which has been de-listed from its primary trading exchange; (iv) a security that is thinly traded; (v) a security in default or bankruptcy proceedings for which there is no current market quotation; (vi) a security affected by currency controls or restrictions; and (vii) a security affected by a significant event (e.g., an event that occurs after the close of the markets on which the security is traded but before the time as of which the Master Portfolios’ net assets are computed and that may materially affect the

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited) (Continued)

 

value of the Master Portfolios’ investments). Examples of events that may be “significant events” are government actions, natural disasters, armed conflict, acts of terrorism, and significant market fluctuations.

Fair value pricing could result in a difference between the prices used to calculate a Master Portfolio’s net assets and the prices used by the Master Portfolio’s benchmark index, which, in turn, could result in a difference between the Master Portfolio’s performance and the performance of the Master Portfolio’s benchmark index. The inputs or methodology used for valuation are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those investments.

The following tables summarize the inputs used in valuing the Master Portfolios’ investments, as of June 30, 2008:

SECURITY TRANSACTIONS AND INCOME RECOGNITION

Security transactions are accounted for on trade date. Dividend income is recognized on the ex-dividend date, net of any foreign tax withheld at source, and interest income is accrued daily. Distributions received by the S&P 500 Index Master Portfolio may include a return of capital that is estimated by management. Such amounts are recorded as a reduction of the cost of investments or reclassified to capital gains. Realized gains and losses on investment transactions are determined using the specific identification method. The Master Portfolios amortize premiums and accrete discounts on debt securities purchased using a constant yield to maturity method.

FEDERAL INCOME TAXES

In general, MIP believes that each Master Portfolio has and will continue to be operated in a manner so as to qualify it as a non-publicly traded partnership for federal income tax purposes. Provided that each such Master Portfolio so qualifies, it will not be subject to any federal income tax on its income and gains (if any). However, each interestholder in such a Master Portfolio will be taxed on its distributive share of the Master Portfolio’s taxable income in determining its federal income tax liability. As a non-publicly traded partnership for federal income tax purposes, each such Master Portfolio will be deemed to have “passed through” to its interestholders any interest, dividends, gains or losses of the Master Portfolio for such purposes. The determination of such share will be made in accordance with the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), and regulations promulgated thereunder.

It is intended that each Master Portfolio’s assets, income and distributions will be managed in such a way that an entity electing and qualifying as a “regulated investment company” under the Code can continue to so qualify by investing

 

  31

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited) (Continued)

 

substantially all of its assets through the Master Portfolio, provided that the regulated investment company meets other requirements for such qualifications not within the control of the Master Portfolio (e.g., distributing at least 90% of the regulated investment company’s “investment company taxable income” annually).

As of June 30, 2008, the gross unrealized appreciation and gross unrealized depreciation based on cost for federal income tax purposes for the Master Portfolios were as follows:

     2,826,429,576      609,672,281      (535,458,907 )     74,213,374  

The Master Portfolios adopted FASB Interpretation No. 48 (“FIN 48”), “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes — an Interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109.” FIN 48 clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. FIN 48 provides guidance on the measurement, recognition, classification and disclosures of tax positions, along with accounting for the related interest and penalties. Management has reviewed the tax positions as of June 30, 2008, inclusive of the prior three open tax return years, and has determined that the implementation of FIN 48 did not have a material impact on the Master Portfolios’ financial statements.

FUTURES CONTRACTS

The Master Portfolios may purchase futures contracts to gain exposure to market changes, as this may be more efficient or cost effective than actually buying the securities. A futures contract is an agreement between two parties to buy and sell a security at a set price on a future date and is exchange-traded. Upon entering into a futures contract, a Master Portfolio is required to pledge to the broker and hold in a segregated account, an amount of cash, U.S. government securities or other high-quality debt and equity securities equal to the minimum “initial margin” requirements of the exchange. 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 the value of the contract. Such receipts or payments are known as “variation margin” and are recorded by the Master Portfolio as receivables or payables in the accompanying Statements of Assets and Liabilities. When the contract is closed, the Master Portfolio records a “realized gain (loss) on futures contracts” in its Statement of Operations, 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. Risks of entering into futures contracts include the possibility that there may be an illiquid market and that a change in the value of the contracts may not correlate with changes in the value of the underlying securities. The amount at risk for futures contracts may exceed the amount reflected in the financial statements.

As of June 30, 2008, the S&P 500 Index Master Portfolio has pledged to brokers a U.S. Treasury Bill with a face amount of $3,050,000 for initial margin requirements on outstanding futures contracts.

WHEN ISSUED/TBA TRANSACTIONS

The Bond Index Master Portfolio may purchase mortgage pass-through securities on a when-issued or to-be-announced (“TBA”) basis, with payment and delivery scheduled for a future date. The Master Portfolio may enter into a TBA agreement, sell the obligation to purchase the pools stipulated in the TBA agreement prior to the stipulated settlement date and enter into a new TBA agreement for future delivery of pools of mortgage pass-through securities (a “TBA roll”). A TBA roll is treated by the Master Portfolio as a purchase transaction and a sale transaction in which the Master Portfolio realizes a gain or loss. The Master Portfolio’s use of TBA rolls may cause the Master Portfolio to experience higher portfolio turnover and higher transaction costs. The Master Portfolio could be exposed to possible risk if there is adverse market action, expenses or delays in connection with the TBA transactions, or if the counterparty fails to complete the transaction.

SHORT POSITIONS

From time to time, in order to track the performance of their respective benchmark index, the Master Portfolios may sell non-index securities that they will receive through corporate actions occurring on the opening of market trading on the following business day. Such short positions are valued consistent with how securities are valued as described under “Security Valuation.” The obligation to deliver the securities is recorded as a liability on the Master Portfolios’ Statements of Assets and Liabilities and is equal to the current market value of the securities to be delivered. Any market fluctuations between the value of the obligation to sell these securities and the current market value are reflected as unrealized

appreciation (depreciation) in the Master Portfolios’ Statements of Operations. Upon receipt of the securities related to corporate actions, the Master Portfolios record a realized gain (loss). Details of the short positions resulting from the non-index securities sold by the Master Portfolios, if any, are included in their respective Schedules of Investments.

 

2.   AGREEMENTS AND OTHER TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES

Pursuant to an Investment Advisory Contract with each Master Portfolio, Barclays Global Fund Advisors (“BGFA”) provides investment advisory services to each Master Portfolio. BGFA is a California corporation indirectly owned by Barclays Bank PLC. BGFA is entitled to receive an annual investment advisory fee of 0.08% and 0.05% of the average daily net assets of the Bond Index and S&P 500 Index Master Portfolios, respectively, as compensation for investment advisory services. From time to time, BGFA may waive a portion of its advisory fees. Any such waivers will reduce the expenses of the Master Portfolio and, accordingly, have a favorable impact on its performance.

The fees and expenses of the Master Portfolios’ trustees who are not “interested persons” of MIP, as defined in the 1940 Act (“Independent Trustees”), counsel to the Independent Trustees and MIP’s independent registered public accounting firm (the “independent expenses”) are paid directly by the Master Portfolios. BGFA has contractually agreed to cap the expenses of the Master Portfolios at the rate at which the Master Portfolios pay an advisory fee to BGFA by providing an offsetting credit against the investment advisory fees paid by the Master Portfolios in an amount equal to the independent expenses.

For the six months ended June 30, 2008, BGFA credited investment advisory fees for the Bond Index and S&P 500 Index Master Portfolios in the amounts of $10,775 and $25,168, respectively.

State Street Bank and Trust Company (“State Street”) serves as the custodian and sub-administrator of the Master Portfolios. State Street will not be entitled to receive fees for its custodial services, so long as it is entitled to receive a separate fee from Barclays Global Investors, N.A. (“BGI”) for its services as sub-administrator of the Master Portfolios.

SEI Investments Distribution Company (“SEI”) is the sponsor and placement agent for the Master Portfolios. SEI does not receive any fee from the Master Portfolios for acting as placement agent.

Pursuant to an exemptive order issued by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), BGI serves as securities lending agent for MIP. BGI is an affiliate of BGFA, the Master Portfolios’ investment adviser. As securities lending agent, BGI receives, as fees, a share of the income earned on investment of the cash collateral received for the loan of securities.

For the six months ended June 30, 2008, BGI earned securities lending agent fees as follows:

 

Master Portfolio    Securities Lending
Agent Fees

Bond Index

   $ 57,274

S&P 500 Index

     682,045

MIP has entered into an administration services arrangement with BGI, which has agreed to provide general administration services, such as managing and coordinating third-party service relationships (e.g., the Master Portfolios’ custodian, financial printer, legal counsel and independent registered public accounting firm), to the Master Portfolios. BGI is not entitled to compensation for providing administration services to the Master Portfolios, for so long as BGI is entitled to compensation for providing administration services to corresponding feeder funds that invest substantially all of their assets in the Master Portfolios, or BGI (or an affiliate) receives investment advisory fees from the Master Portfolios. BGI may delegate certain of its administration duties to sub-administrators.

Cross trades for the six months ended June 30, 2008, if any, were executed by the Master Portfolios pursuant to Rule 17a-7 under the 1940 Act. Cross trading is the buying or selling of portfolio securities between funds to which BGFA (or an affiliate) serves as investment adviser. At its regularly scheduled quarterly meetings, the Board reviews such transactions as of the most recent calendar quarter for compliance with the requirements and restrictions set forth by Rule 17a-7.

Each Master Portfolio may invest in the Institutional Shares of certain money market funds managed by BGFA, the Master Portfolios’ investment adviser, including the Government Money Market Fund (“GMMF”), Institutional Money Market Fund (“IMMF”), Prime Money Market Fund (“PMMF”) and Treasury Money Market Fund (“TMMF”) of Barclays Global Investors Funds. The GMMF, IMMF, PMMF and TMMF are feeder funds in a master/feeder fund structure that invest substantially all of their assets in the Government Money Market Master Portfolio, Money Market Master Portfolio, Prime Money Market Master Portfolio and Treasury Money Market Master Portfolio (collectively, the “Money Market Master

Portfolios”), respectively, which are also managed by BGFA. While the GMMF, IMMF, PMMF and TMMF do not directly charge an investment advisory fee, the Money Market Master Portfolios in which they invest do charge an investment advisory fee. Income distributions from the GMMF, IMMF, PMMF and TMMF are declared daily and paid monthly from net investment income. Income distributions earned by the Master Portfolios from temporary cash investments are recorded as interest from affiliated issuers in the accompanying Statements of Operations. Income distributions earned by the Master Portfolios from the investment of securities lending collateral, if any, are included in securities lending income in the accompanying Statements of Operations.

Each Master Portfolio may invest its securities lending cash collateral, if any, in the BGI Cash Premier Fund LLC (“Premier Fund”), an affiliated private money market fund managed by BGFA. See Note 4 for additional information regarding the Premier Fund.

Certain officers and trustees of MIP are also officers of BGI and/or BGFA. As of June 30, 2008, these officers of BGI and/or BGFA collectively owned less than 1% of MIP’s outstanding beneficial interests.

 

3.   INVESTMENT PORTFOLIO TRANSACTIONS

Investment transactions (excluding short-term investments) for the Master Portfolios for the six months ended June 30, 2008 were as follows:

 

      U.S. Government Obligations    Other Securities
Master Portfolio    Purchases    Sales    Purchases    Sales

Bond Index

   $ 47,933,847    $ 41,784,863    $ 7,163,709    $ 1,104,394

S&P 500 Index

     —        —        124,328,552      66,820,414

 

4.   PORTFOLIO SECURITIES LOANED

Each Master Portfolio may lend its investment securities to approved borrowers, such as brokers, dealers and other financial institutions. The borrower pledges and maintains with the Master Portfolio 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 each Master Portfolio is required to have a value of at least 102% of the market value of the loaned securities plus the interest accrued on such securities, if any, 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 plus accrued interest, if any. The risks to the Master Portfolios of securities lending are that the borrower may not provide additional collateral when required or may not return the securities when due.

As of June 30, 2008, the Master Portfolios had loaned securities which were collateralized by cash. The cash collateral received was invested in the Premier Fund. The Premier Fund seeks to achieve its investment objective by investing in a portfolio of high-quality, short-term fixed-income instruments, including money market funds (which may be managed by BGFA or its affiliate) and other instruments that, at the time of investment, have remaining maturities of 397 calendar days or less from the date of acquisition.

The market value of the securities on loan as of June 30, 2008 and the value of the related collateral are disclosed in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities. Securities lending income, as disclosed in the Master Portfolios’ Statements of Operations, represents the income earned from the investment of the cash collateral, net of rebates paid to, or fees paid by, borrowers and less the fees paid to BGI as securities lending agent.

 

5.   RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENT

In March 2008, the FASB issued Financial Accounting Standards Statement No. 161, “Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities — an amendment of FASB Statement No. 133” (“FAS 161”). FAS 161 requires enhanced disclosures for derivative instruments and hedging activities and is effective for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after November 15, 2008. MIP is currently evaluating the impact the adoption of FAS 161 will have on the financial statements.

MASTER INVESTMENT PORTFOLIO

BOARD REVIEW AND APPROVAL OF INVESTMENT ADVISORY CONTRACTS (Unaudited)

Under Section 15(c) of the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the “1940 Act”), the Master Investment Portfolio (“MIP”) Board of Trustees (the “Board”), including a majority of Trustees who are not interested persons of MIP, as that term is defined in the 1940 Act (the “Independent Trustees”), is required annually to consider each Investment Advisory Contract between MIP and BGFA (each, an “Advisory Contract”) on behalf of Bond Index Master Portfolio and S&P 500 Index Master Portfolio (together, the “Master Portfolios”). As required by Section 15(c), the Board requested and BGFA provided such information as the Board deemed to be reasonably necessary to evaluate the terms of the Advisory Contracts. At a meeting held on March 25-26, 2008, the Board approved the selection of BGFA and the continuance of the Advisory Contracts, based on its review of qualitative and quantitative information provided by BGFA. In selecting BGFA and approving the Advisory Contracts for the Master Portfolios, the Board, including the Independent Trustees, advised by their independent counsel, considered the following factors, none of which was controlling, and made the following conclusions:

NATURE, EXTENT AND QUALITY OF SERVICES PROVIDED BY BGFA

The Board anticipated that there would be no diminution in the scope of services required of BGFA under the Advisory Contracts for the coming year as compared to the scope of services provided by BGFA over the past year. In reviewing the scope of these services, the Board considered BGFA’s investment philosophy and experience, noting that, over the past several years, BGFA and its affiliates have committed significant resources to the support of the Master Portfolios. The Board considered in particular that BGFA’s services for the Master Portfolios capitalize on BGFA’s core competencies as an industry leader in index management, including the effective use of its proprietary investment model that maximizes efficiencies in implementing index changes and in maintaining fully invested portfolios. The Board also considered services provided by BGFA and its affiliates in connection with analyzing corporate actions (for the S&P 500 Index Master Portfolio), managing risk and diversification (for the Bond Index Master Portfolio), employing customized trading strategies, reviewing securities lending opportunities and overseeing intermediaries that provide BGI feeder fund shareholder support and processing functions.

The Board also considered BGFA’s compliance program and its compliance record with respect to the Master Portfolios. The Board noted that BGFA reports to the Board about portfolio management and compliance matters on a periodic basis in connection with regularly scheduled meetings of the Board and has made appropriate officers available as needed to provide further assistance with these matters. The Board also reviewed the background and experience of the persons responsible for the day-to-day management of the Master Portfolios. In addition to the above considerations, the Board reviewed and considered BGFA’s investment processes and strategies, and matters related to BGFA’s portfolio transaction policies and procedures. In addition, the Board reviewed the performance of (i) other registered investment companies with substantially similar investment objectives and strategies as the Master Portfolios for which BGFA provides investment advisory services, and (ii) the Master Portfolios’ published performance benchmarks, the S&P 500 Index or the Lehman Brothers U.S. Aggregate Index, as applicable. The Board noted that the S&P 500 Index Master Portfolio, net of expenses, underperformed its published benchmark on an annualized basis over five years, three years and in 2007, which would be expected, such underperformance being attributable to the effect of fees, and noted that the published benchmark is an index, which does not have expenses. The Board also noted that the Bond Index Master Portfolio outperformed its published benchmark in 2007 and on an annualized basis over three years and over five years. The Board also noted that during BGFA’s term as investment adviser, the Master Portfolios have met their investment objectives consistently over time. Based on this review, the Board concluded that the nature, extent and quality of services to be provided by BGFA to the Master Portfolios under the Advisory Contracts were appropriate and supported the Board’s approval of the Advisory Contracts for the coming year.

MASTER PORTFOLIOS’ EXPENSES AND PERFORMANCE OF THE MASTER PORTFOLIOS

The Board reviewed statistical information prepared by Lipper Inc. (“Lipper”), an independent provider of investment company data, regarding the expense ratio components, including actual advisory fees, waivers/reimbursements, and gross and net total expenses of each Master Portfolio in comparison with the same information for other registered investment companies, objectively selected by Lipper as comprising each Master Portfolio’s applicable peer group pursuant to Lipper’s proprietary methodology and registered funds that would otherwise have been excluded from Lipper’s comparison groups because of their size or other differentiating factors, but were nonetheless included at the request of BGFA (the “Lipper Expense Group”). In addition, the Board reviewed statistical information prepared by Lipper regarding the performance of each Master Portfolio for the one-, three-, five-, and ten-year periods (or since inception) ended December 31, 2007, as applicable, as compared to the performance of other registered investment companies

with similar investment objectives, as selected by Lipper as comprising each Master Portfolio’s applicable peer group pursuant to Lipper’s proprietary methodology and registered funds that would otherwise have been excluded from Lipper’s comparison groups because of their size or other differentiating factors, but were nonetheless included at the request of BGFA (the “Lipper Performance Group”, and together with the Lipper Expense Group, the “Lipper Groups”). The Board considered that the component funds of the Lipper Groups are publicly available funds, more analogous in overall expense structure to the Barclays Global Investors Funds Index Funds than to the underlying Master Portfolios, which are not available for investment except to other investment companies. In support of its review of the statistical information, the Board was provided with a detailed description of the methodology used by Lipper to determine the applicable Lipper Groups and to prepare this information.

The Board noted that the Master Portfolios outperformed the median performance of the funds in their respective Lipper Performance Group over relevant periods. The Board noted that the advisory fees for the S&P 500 Index Master Portfolio and the Bond Index Master Portfolio were generally lower than the advisory fee rates of the funds in their respective Lipper Expense Groups, and the overall expenses for both the Master Portfolios were generally lower than the overall expenses of the funds in their respective Lipper Expense Groups. Based on this review, the Board concluded that the investment advisory fees and expense levels and the historical performance of the Master Portfolios, as managed by BGFA, as compared to the investment advisory fees and expense levels and performance of the funds in the Lipper Expense Groups, were satisfactory for the purposes of approving the Advisory Contracts for the coming year.

COSTS OF SERVICES PROVIDED TO MASTER PORTFOLIOS AND PROFITS REALIZED BY BGFA AND AFFILIATES

The Board reviewed information about the profitability to BGFA of the Master Portfolios and the Barclays Global Investors Funds, separately and together, based on the fees payable to BGFA and its affiliates (including fees under the Advisory Contracts), and all other sources of revenue and expense to BGFA and its affiliates from the Master Portfolios’ operations for the last calendar year. The Board discussed the sources of direct and ancillary revenue with management, including the revenues to BGI from securities lending by MIP (including any securities lending by a Master Portfolio), revenues received from transactions for MIP executed through affiliates (including any such transactions for a Master Portfolio), and any fee revenue from any investments by a Master Portfolio in other funds for which BGFA provides advisory services and/or BGI provides administration services. Based on this review, the Board concluded that the profits realized by BGFA and its affiliates under the Advisory Contracts and from other relationships between the Master Portfolios and BGFA and/or its affiliates, if any, were within the range the Board considered reasonable and appropriate.

ECONOMIES OF SCALE

In connection with its review of BGFA’s profitability analysis, the Board received information regarding economies of scale or other efficiencies that may result from increases in the Master Portfolios’ asset levels. The Board noted that the Advisory Contracts do not provide any breakpoints in the investment advisory fee rates as a result of any increases in the asset levels of the Master Portfolios. However, the Board noted that the investment advisory fee rates for the Master Portfolios had been set initially at the lower end of the marketplace so as to afford the Master Portfolios’ interestholders the opportunity to share in anticipated economies of scale from inception. The Board also noted the difficulty of considering the potential for economies of scale based on advisory services independently and separately from any potential for economies of scale based on other services provided by BGFA and its affiliates. Based on the profitability analysis presented to the Board, which indicated that with respect to the Bond Index Master Portfolio, BGFA and its affiliates are generally providing services at a loss, with the S&P 500 Index Master Portfolio and the overall MIP complex posting a profit to BGFA and its affiliates for the year, the Board discussed the potential for future economies of scale as the asset levels of the Master Portfolios increase. In light of this analysis and the relatively low investment advisory fee rates for the Master Portfolios, the Board determined that whether further economies of scale may be realized by the Master Portfolios or reflected in fee levels was not a significant factor at this juncture in its consideration of whether to approve the Advisory Contracts.

FEES AND SERVICES PROVIDED FOR OTHER COMPARABLE FUNDS/ACCOUNTS MANAGED BY BGFA AND ITS AFFILIATES

The Board considered the Master Portfolios’ annual investment advisory fee rates under the Advisory Contracts in comparison to the investment advisory/management fee rates for other funds/accounts with substantially similar investment objectives and strategies for which BGFA (or its affiliate BGI) provides investment advisory/management

services, including other funds registered under the 1940 Act, collective funds and separate accounts (together, the “Other Accounts”). The Board noted that BGFA had provided information distinguishing the level of services provided to the Other Accounts from the level of services provided to the Master Portfolios. In the context of the comparative fee analysis, the Board compared the nature and extent of services provided to the Master Portfolios in comparison with the nature and extent of services provided to the Other Accounts, including, among other things, the level of complexity in managing the Master Portfolios and the Other Accounts under differing regulatory requirements and client guidelines.

The Board noted that the investment advisory fee rate under the Advisory Contract for the Bond Index Master Portfolio was generally lower than or in line with the investment advisory fee rates for other funds registered under the 1940 Act, higher than the investment management fee rates for separate accounts and higher than the investment management fee rates for the collective funds. The Board noted that the investment advisory fee rate under the Advisory Contract for the S&P 500 Index Master Portfolio was generally within the ranges of the investment advisory/management fee rates for the Other Accounts. The Board further noted that any differences between the investment advisory fee rates for certain of the Master Portfolios and the investment advisory/management fee rates for the Other Accounts appeared to be attributable to, among other things, the type and level of services provided and/or the asset levels of the Other Accounts. Based on this review, the Board determined that the investment advisory fee rates under the Advisory Contracts do not constitute fees that are so disproportionately large as to bear no reasonable relationship to the services rendered and that could not have been the product of arm’s-length bargaining, and concluded that the investment advisory fee rates under the Advisory Contracts are fair and reasonable.

OTHER BENEFITS TO BGFA AND/OR ITS AFFILIATES

The Board reviewed any ancillary revenue received by BGFA and/or its affiliates in connection with the services provided to MIP and the Master Portfolios by BGFA, such as any payment of revenue to BGI, MIP’s securities lending agent, for loaning any portfolio securities, payment of administration fees to BGI, MIP’s administrator, and payment of advisory fees and/or administration fees to BGFA and BGI in connection with any investments by the Master Portfolios in other funds for which BGFA provides investment advisory services and/or BGI provides administration services, as well as the associated voluntary waivers by BGFA and/or its affiliates of these fees, if any. The Board noted that BGFA does not use soft dollars or consider the value of research or other services that may be provided to BGFA (including its affiliates) in selecting brokers for portfolio transactions for the Master Portfolios. The Board further noted that during the past year no portfolio transactions were placed through a BGFA affiliate, as would be required to be reported to and considered by the Board pursuant to Rule 17e-1 under the 1940 Act. The Board concluded that any ancillary benefits would not be disadvantageous to the Master Portfolios’ interestholders.

Based on this analysis, the Board determined that the Advisory Contracts, including the investment advisory fee rates thereunder, are fair and reasonable in light of all relevant circumstances and concluded that it is in the best interest of the Master Portfolios and their interestholders to approve the Advisory Contracts for the coming year.

MASTER INVESTMENT PORTFOLIO

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)

Master Investment Portfolio (“MIP”) is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), as an open-end series management investment company organized as a Delaware statutory trust. As of June 30, 2008, MIP offered the following separate portfolios: Active Stock, Bond Index, CoreAlpha Bond, Government Money Market, LifePath Retirement, LifePath 2010, LifePath 2020, LifePath 2030, LifePath 2040, LifePath 2050, Money Market, Prime Money Market, S&P 500 Index and Treasury Money Market Master Portfolios. The LifePath 2050 Master Portfolio commenced operations on June 30, 2008.

These financial statements relate only to the LifePath Retirement, LifePath 2010, LifePath 2020, LifePath 2030, LifePath 2040, LifePath 2050, Active Stock and CoreAlpha Bond Master Portfolios (each, a “Master Portfolio,” collectively, the “Master Portfolios”).

Each of the LifePath Retirement, LifePath 2010, LifePath 2020, LifePath 2030, LifePath 2040 and LifePath 2050 Master Portfolios (each, a “LifePath Master Portfolio,” collectively, the “LifePath Master Portfolios”) seeks to achieve its investment objective by investing in a combination of equity securities, bond and money market funds (the “Underlying Funds”) in proportions suggested by its own comprehensive investment strategy. The Underlying Funds are advised by Barclays Global Fund Advisors (“BGFA”), and include the Active Stock and CoreAlpha Bond Master Portfolios, the Barclays Global Investors Funds Institutional Money Market Fund and exchange-traded funds in the iShares® family of funds.

Pursuant to MIP’s organizational documents, the Master Portfolios’ officers and trustees are indemnified against certain liabilities that may arise out of the performance of their duties to the Master Portfolios. Additionally, in the normal course of business, the Master Portfolios enter into contracts with service providers that contain general indemnification clauses. The Master Portfolios’ maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Master Portfolios that have not yet occurred.

 

1.   SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The following significant accounting policies are consistently followed by MIP in the preparation of its financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”). The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make certain estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

SECURITY VALUATION

The securities and other assets of each Master Portfolio are generally valued using market valuations. A market valuation generally means a valuation (i) obtained from an exchange, a pricing service or a major market maker (or dealer), (ii) based on a price quotation or other equivalent indication of value supplied by an exchange, a pricing service or a major market maker (or dealer) or (iii) based on amortized cost. In the case of shares of funds that are not traded on an exchange, a market valuation means such fund’s published net asset value per share. The investment adviser may use various pricing services or discontinue the use of any pricing service. A price obtained from a pricing service based on such pricing service’s valuation matrix may be considered a market valuation. In the event that current market valuations are not readily available or such valuations do not reflect current market values, the affected investments will be valued pursuant to the pricing policy and procedures approved by the Board of Trustees of MIP (the “Board”).

Effective January 1, 2008, the Master Portfolios adopted Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157 (“FAS 157”), “Fair Value Measurements.” This standard defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and expands disclosure about fair value measurements. Various inputs are used in determining the value of the Master Portfolios’ investments. These inputs are summarized in the three broad levels listed below.

 

   

Level 1 — quoted prices in active markets for identical investments

 

   

Level 2 — other significant observable inputs (including, but not limited to, quoted prices for similar investments, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.)

 

   

Level 3 — significant unobservable inputs (including the Master Portfolios’ own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments)

Investments that use Level 2 or Level 3 inputs may include, but are not limited to: (i) an unlisted security related to corporate actions; (ii) a restricted security (e.g., one that may not be publicly sold without registration under the

 

  61


MASTER INVESTMENT PORTFOLIO

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited) (Continued)

 

Securities Act of 1933, as amended); (iii) a security whose trading has been suspended or which has been de-listed from its primary trading exchange; (iv) a security that is thinly traded; (v) a security in default or bankruptcy proceedings for which there is no current market quotation; (vi) a security affected by currency controls or restrictions; and (vii) a security affected by a significant event (e.g., an event that occurs after the close of the markets on which the security is traded but before the time as of which the Master Portfolios’ net assets are computed and that may materially affect the value of the Master Portfolios’ investments). Examples of events that may be “significant events” are government actions, natural disasters, armed conflict, acts of terrorism, and significant market fluctuations.

Fair value pricing could result in a difference between the prices used to calculate a Master Portfolio’s net assets and the prices used by the Master Portfolio’s benchmark index, which, in turn, could result in a difference between the Master Portfolio’s performance and the performance of the Master Portfolio’s benchmark index. The inputs or methodology used for valuation are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those investments.

The following tables summarize the inputs used in valuing the Master Portfolios’ investments, as of June 30, 2008:

SECURITY TRANSACTIONS AND INCOME RECOGNITION

Security transactions are accounted for on trade date. Dividend income is recognized on the ex-dividend date, net of any foreign tax withheld at source, and interest income is accrued daily. Distributions received by the LifePath and Active Stock Master Portfolios may include a return of capital that is estimated by management. Such amounts are recorded as a reduction of the cost of investments or reclassified to capital gains. Realized gains and losses on investment transactions are determined using the specific identification method. The Master Portfolios amortize premiums and accrete discounts on debt securities purchased using a constant yield to maturity method.

Each LifePath Master Portfolio records daily its proportionate interest in the net investment income and realized and unrealized capital gains and losses of the Active Stock and CoreAlpha Bond Master Portfolios. In addition, each LifePath Master Portfolio accrues its own expenses.

FEDERAL INCOME TAXES

In general, MIP believes that each Master Portfolio has and will continue to be operated in a manner so as to qualify it as a non-publicly traded partnership for federal income tax purposes. Provided that each such Master Portfolio so qualifies, it will not be subject to any federal income tax on its income and gains (if any). However, each interestholder in such a Master Portfolio will be taxed on its distributive share of the Master Portfolio’s taxable income in determining its federal income tax liability. As a non-publicly traded partnership for federal income tax purposes, each such Master Portfolio will be deemed to have “passed through” to its interestholders any interest, dividends, gains or losses of the Master Portfolio for such purposes. The determination of such share will be made in accordance with the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), and regulations promulgated thereunder.

It is intended that each Master Portfolio’s assets, income and distributions will be managed in such a way that an entity electing and qualifying as a “regulated investment company” under the Code can continue to so qualify by investing substantially all of its assets through the Master Portfolio, provided that the regulated investment company meets other requirements for such qualifications not within the control of the Master Portfolio (e.g., distributing at least 90% of the regulated investment company’s “investment company taxable income” annually).

As of June 30, 2008, the gross unrealized appreciation and gross unrealized depreciation based on cost for federal income tax purposes for the Master Portfolios were as follows:

(a)

Tax cost information does not include investments in the underlying Master Portfolios.

The Master Portfolios adopted FASB Interpretation No. 48 (“FIN 48”), “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes — an Interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109.” FIN 48 clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. FIN 48 provides guidance on the measurement, recognition, classification and disclosures of tax positions, along with accounting for the related interest and penalties. Management has reviewed the tax positions as of June 30, 2008, inclusive of the prior three open tax return years, and has determined that the implementation of FIN 48 did not have a material impact on the Master Portfolios’ financial statements.

FUTURES CONTRACTS

The Active Stock and CoreAlpha Bond Master Portfolios may purchase futures contracts to gain exposure to market changes, as this may be more efficient or cost effective than actually buying the securities. A futures contract is an agreement between two parties to buy and sell a security at a set price on a future date and is exchange-traded. Upon entering into a futures contract, a Master Portfolio is required to pledge to the broker and hold in a segregated account, an amount of cash, U.S. government securities or other high-quality debt and equity securities equal to the minimum “initial margin” requirements of the exchange. 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 the value of the contract. Such receipts or payments are known as “variation margin” and are recorded by the Master Portfolio as receivables or payables in the accompanying Statements of Assets and Liabilities. When the contract is closed, the Master Portfolio records a “realized gain (loss) on futures contracts” in its Statement of Operations, 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. Risks of entering into futures contracts include the possibility that there may be an illiquid market and that a change in the value of the contracts may not correlate with changes in the value of the underlying securities. The amount at risk for futures contracts may exceed the amount reflected in the financial statements.

As of June 30, 2008, the Active Stock and CoreAlpha Bond Master Portfolios have pledged to brokers U.S. Treasury Bills and U.S. Treasury Bonds and Notes with face amounts of $2,200,000 and $2,655,000, respectively, for initial margin requirements on outstanding futures contracts.

WHEN ISSUED/TBA TRANSACTIONS

The CoreAlpha Bond Master Portfolio may purchase mortgage pass-through securities on a when-issued or to-be-announced (“TBA”) basis, with payment and delivery scheduled for a future date. The Master Portfolio may enter into a TBA agreement, sell the obligation to purchase the pools stipulated in the TBA agreement prior to the stipulated settlement date and enter into a new TBA agreement for future delivery of pools of mortgage pass-through securities (a “TBA roll”). A TBA roll is treated by the Master Portfolio as a purchase transaction and a sale transaction in which the Master Portfolio realizes a gain or loss. The Master Portfolio’s use of TBA rolls may cause the Master Portfolio to experience higher portfolio turnover and higher transaction costs. The Master Portfolio could be exposed to possible risk if there is adverse market action, expenses or delays in connection with the TBA transactions, or if the counterparty fails to complete the transaction.

SWAP TRANSACTIONS

The CoreAlpha Bond Master Portfolio may enter into swaps, including, but not limited to, interest-rate, index and credit default swaps. Swap transactions generally do not involve the delivery of securities or other underlying assets or principal. If the Master Portfolio enters into a swap transaction, cash or securities may be posted by or to the Master Portfolio as collateral in accordance with the terms of the swap agreement. If there is a default by the other party to such a transaction, the Master Portfolio will have contractual remedies pursuant to the agreements related to the transaction. Upon early termination of a swap agreement due to an event of default or termination event with respect to the Master Portfolio or the other party, the risk of loss to the Master Portfolio would generally be limited to the net amount of payments that the Master Portfolio is contractually obligated to make if, after exercising in accordance with the swap agreement the rights with respect to early close-out of the swap transaction(s), it is determined that the Master Portfolio would be obligated to make a net payment with respect to the swap transaction(s). In the event the other party to the swap transaction(s) were to owe a net amount to the Master Portfolio upon an early termination of the swap agreement as described above, the Master Portfolio could be exposed to the risk of loss in the event that any collateral held by the Master Portfolio would be insufficient. The use of swaps is a highly specialized activity that involves investment techniques and risks different from those associated with conventional securities transactions. The Master Portfolio segregates liquid assets in connection with transactions in swaps.

Interest-rate swaps involve the exchange by the Master Portfolio with another party of their respective commitments to pay or receive interest (for example, an exchange of floating-rate payments or fixed-rate payments). Index swaps (sometimes referred to as total return swaps) involve the exchange by the Master Portfolio with another party of cash flows based upon the performance of an index of securities or a portion of an index of securities that usually include, but are not limited to, dividends or income. In each case, the exchange of commitments can involve payments to be made

in the same currency or in different currencies. Details of interest-rate swaps held by the Master Portfolio as of June 30, 2008 are included in its Schedule of Investments.

A credit default swap is a contract between two parties which transfers the credit risk of an entity (the “reference entity”) for a defined period whereby if there is a Credit Event then the seller of protection pays a predetermined amount to the buyer of protection. A “Credit Event” is commonly defined as the reference entity’s (a) failing to pay principal or interest on time, (b) restructuring its debt, (c) accelerating its debt, or (d) entering bankruptcy. The buyer of credit protection pays a premium to the seller of credit protection until the earlier of a Credit Event or the scheduled termination date of the credit default swap. Credit default swaps can be used to implement BGFA’s view that a particular credit, or group of credits, will experience credit improvement. In the case of expected credit improvement, the Master Portfolio may sell credit default protection in which it receives a premium to take on the risk. In such an instance, the obligation of the Master Portfolio to make payments upon the occurrence of a Credit Event creates leveraged exposure to the credit risk of the referenced entity. The Master Portfolio may also buy credit default protection with respect to a reference entity if, in the judgment of BGFA, there is a high likelihood of credit deterioration. In such instance, the Master Portfolio will pay a premium regardless of whether there is a Credit Event. The credit default swap market in high yield securities is comparatively new and rapidly evolving compared to the credit default swap market for more seasoned and liquid investment grade securities creating the risk that the newer markets will be less liquid and it may be difficult to exit or enter into a particular transaction. In the event of counterparty default, the Master Portfolio would have rights solely against the counterparty and will have no recourse against the reference entity as a result of the counterparty default. Details of credit default swaps held by the Master Portfolio as of June 30, 2008 are included in its Schedule of Investments.

In a cash-settled credit default swap where the Master Portfolio is buying protection, the Master Portfolio makes a stream of fixed payments to the counterparty in exchange for the right to receive compensation for the loss in market value of the designated obligation that is being hedged, in the event the reference entity experiences a Credit Event. In a cash-settled credit default swap where the Master Portfolio is selling protection, the Master Portfolio would be compensated for assuming the transfer of credit risk from the counterparty by receiving the fixed premium over the life of the transaction. Alternatively, if the transaction were to be physically settled, the counterparty, as seller of protection, would agree that if a specified Credit Event occurs, it would take delivery of an obligation specified by the Master Portfolio and pay to the Master Portfolio an amount equal to the notional amount of the transaction. In exchange for this risk protection, the Master Portfolio would pay the counterparty a fixed premium over the specified life of the credit default swap. In instances where the Master Portfolio sells protection, the Master Portfolio would be compensated for assuming the transfer of credit risk from the counterparty by receiving a fixed premium over the life of the credit default swap. The Master Portfolio would be required to compensate the counterparty for the loss in market value of the designated obligation if the reference entity suffered a Credit Event and the credit default swap were to be cash settled. In the event that the transaction were to be physically settled on the occurrence of a specified Credit Event with respect to the reference entity, the Master Portfolio would be required to take physical delivery of an obligation specified at the time of the occurrence of the relevant Credit Event and would pay to the counterparty an amount equal to the notional amount of the transaction. As of June 30, 2008, the Master Portfolio did not hold any cash-settled credit default swap contracts.

The Master Portfolio may also write (sell) and purchase put and call options on swaps. An option on a swap (commonly referred to as a “swaption”) is a contract that gives a counterparty the right (but not the obligation) in return for payment of a premium, to enter into a new swap transaction at some designated future time on specified terms as described in the swaption. Depending on the terms of the particular swaption, the Master Portfolio may incur a greater degree of risk when it writes a swaption than it will incur when it purchases a swaption. When the Master Portfolio purchases a swaption, it risks losing only the amount of the premium it has paid if it decides to let the swaption expire unexercised. When the Master Portfolio writes a swaption, upon exercise of the swaption, the Master Portfolio becomes obligated according to the terms of the underlying agreement. As of June 30, 2008, the Master Portfolio did not hold any swaptions.

SHORT SALES

The CoreAlpha Bond Master Portfolio may make short sales of securities as part of its overall portfolio management strategies or to offset potential declines in long positions in similar securities. A short sale involves the sale of securities, with the ultimate obligation to deliver these securities. To make delivery to the buyer of the securities, the seller purchases or borrows the securities to offset the short obligation. When making a short sale, the Master Portfolio must cover its position. Short sales expose the Master Portfolio to the risk that it will be required to acquire, convert or exchange securities to replace the securities sold short at a time when the securities sold short have appreciated in value, thus resulting in a loss to the Master Portfolio. The successful use of short selling may be adversely affected by an

imperfect correlation between movements in the price of the security sold short and the securities being hedged. The amount at risk for short sales may exceed the amount reflected in the financial statements. As of June 30, 2008, the Master Portfolio did not hold any short positions.

 

2.   AGREEMENTS AND OTHER TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES

Pursuant to an Investment Advisory Contract with each Master Portfolio, BGFA provides investment advisory services to each Master Portfolio. BGFA is a California corporation indirectly owned by Barclays Bank PLC.

For its investment advisory services to the following Master Portfolios, BGFA is entitled to receive an annual investment advisory fee based on the average daily net assets for each Master Portfolio as follows:

BGFA has contractually agreed to waive investment advisory fees charged to the LifePath Master Portfolios in an amount equal to investment advisory fees and administration fees, if any, charged to the Underlying Funds through April 30, 2009.

The fees and expenses of the Master Portfolios’ trustees who are not “interested persons” of MIP, as defined in the 1940 Act (“Independent Trustees”), counsel to the Independent Trustees and MIP’s independent registered public accounting firm (the “independent expenses”) are paid directly by the Master Portfolios. For those Master Portfolios that do not pay an administration fee to Barclays Global Investors, N.A. (“BGI”), BGFA has contractually agreed to cap the expenses of the Master Portfolios at the rate at which those Master Portfolios pay an advisory fee to BGFA by providing an offsetting credit against the investment advisory fees paid by the Master Portfolios in an amount equal to the independent expenses.

For the six months ended June 30, 2008, BGFA waived and/or credited investment advisory fees as follows:

MIP has entered into an administration services arrangement with BGI, which has agreed to provide general administration services, such as managing and coordinating third-party service relationships (e.g., the Master Portfolios’ custodian, financial printer, legal counsel and independent registered public accounting firm), to the Master Portfolios. BGI may delegate certain of its administration duties to sub-administrators.

BGI is not entitled to compensation for providing administration services to the LifePath Master Portfolios, for so long as BGI is entitled to compensation for providing administration services to corresponding feeder funds that invest substantially all of their assets in the LifePath Master Portfolios, or BGI (or an affiliate) receives investment advisory fees from the LifePath Master Portfolios.

BGI is entitled to receive a monthly fee for administration services from each of the Active Stock and CoreAlpha Bond Master Portfolios at an annual rate of 0.10% of their respective average daily net assets. BGI has agreed to bear all costs of each of these Master Portfolios, excluding, generally, investment advisory fees, administration fees, brokerage and other

expenses related to the execution of portfolio transactions, extraordinary expenses and certain other expenses which are borne by each Master Portfolio. With respect to the independent expenses discussed above, BGI has contractually agreed to provide an offsetting credit against the administration fees paid by these Master Portfolios in an amount equal to the independent expenses through April 30, 2009. Effective October 2, 2007, BGI began voluntarily waiving a portion of its administration fees payable by the Active Stock Master Portfolio in an amount sufficient to maintain the investment advisory fees of the LifePath Master Portfolios, which are not to exceed 0.35% of the average daily net assets of each LifePath Master Portfolio. This arrangement is voluntary and may be terminated by BGI at any time. Any such waivers will reduce the expenses of the Master Portfolio and, accordingly, will have a favorable impact on the Master Portfolio’s performance. For the six months ended June 30, 2008, BGI credited and/or waived administration fees of $208,063 and $22,425 for the Active Stock and CoreAlpha Bond Master Portfolios, respectively.

State Street Bank and Trust Company (“State Street”) serves as the custodian and sub-administrator of the Master Portfolios. State Street will not be entitled to receive fees for its custodial services, so long as it is entitled to receive a separate fee from BGI for its services as sub-administrator of the Master Portfolios.

SEI Investments Distribution Company (“SEI”) is the sponsor and placement agent for the Master Portfolios. SEI does not receive any fee from the Master Portfolios for acting as placement agent.

Pursuant to an exemptive order issued by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), BGI serves as securities lending agent for MIP. BGI is an affiliate of BGFA, the Master Portfolios’ investment adviser. As securities lending agent, BGI receives, as fees, a share of the income earned on investment of the cash collateral received for the loan of securities.

For the six months ended June 30, 2008, BGI earned securities lending agent fees as follows:

Cross trades for the six months ended June 30, 2008, if any, were executed by the Master Portfolios pursuant to Rule 17a-7 under the 1940 Act. Cross trading is the buying or selling of portfolio securities between funds to which BGFA (or an affiliate) serves as investment adviser. At its regularly scheduled quarterly meetings, the Board reviews such transactions as of the most recent calendar quarter for compliance with the requirements and restrictions set forth by Rule 17a-7.

The LifePath Master Portfolios may invest in the shares of exchange-traded funds (“ETFs”), including shares of ETFs of which BGI is an affiliate, to obtain exposure to the bond and stock markets while maintaining flexibility to meet the liquidity needs of the LifePath Master Portfolios.

Each Master Portfolio may invest in the Institutional Shares of certain money market funds managed by BGFA, the Master Portfolios’ investment adviser, including the Government Money Market Fund (“GMMF”), Institutional Money Market Fund (“IMMF”), Prime Money Market Fund (“PMMF”) and Treasury Money Market Fund (“TMMF”) of Barclays Global Investors Funds. The GMMF, IMMF, PMMF and TMMF are feeder funds in a master/feeder fund structure that invest substantially all of their assets in the Government Money Market Master Portfolio, Money Market Master Portfolio, Prime Money Market Master Portfolio and Treasury Money Market Master Portfolio (collectively, the “Money Market Master Portfolios”), respectively, which are also managed by BGFA. While the GMMF, IMMF, PMMF and TMMF do not directly charge an investment advisory fee, the Money Market Master Portfolios in which they invest do charge an investment advisory fee. Income distributions from the GMMF, IMMF, PMMF and TMMF are declared daily and paid monthly from net investment income. Income distributions earned by the Master Portfolios from temporary cash investments are recorded as interest from affiliated issuers in the accompanying Statements of Operations. Income distributions earned by the Master Portfolios from the investment of securities lending collateral, if any, are included in securities lending income in the accompanying Statements of Operations.

4.   PORTFOLIO SECURITIES LOANED

Each Master Portfolio may lend its investment securities to approved borrowers, such as brokers, dealers and other financial institutions. The borrower pledges and maintains with the Master Portfolio 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 each Master Portfolio is required to have a value of at least 102% of the market value of the loaned securities plus the interest accrued on such securities, if any, 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 plus accrued interest, if any. The risks to the Master Portfolios of securities lending are that the borrower may not provide additional collateral when required or may not return the securities when due.

As of June 30, 2008, the Master Portfolios had loaned securities which were collateralized by cash. The cash collateral received was invested in the Premier Fund. The Premier Fund seeks to achieve its investment objective by investing in a portfolio of high-quality, short-term fixed-income instruments, including money market funds (which may be managed

by BGFA or its affiliate) and other instruments that, at the time of investment, have remaining maturities of 397 calendar days or less from the date of acquisition.

The market value of the securities on loan as of June 30, 2008 and the value of the related collateral are disclosed in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities. Securities lending income, as disclosed in the Master Portfolios’ Statements of Operations, represents the income earned from the investment of the cash collateral, net of rebates paid to, or fees paid by, borrowers and less the fees paid to BGI as securities lending agent.

 

5.   RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENT

In March 2008, the FASB issued Financial Accounting Standards Statement No. 161, “Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities — an amendment of FASB Statement No. 133” (“FAS 161”). FAS 161 requires enhanced disclosures for derivative instruments and hedging activities and is effective for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after November 15, 2008. MIP is currently evaluating the impact the adoption of FAS 161 will have on the financial statements.

MASTER INVESTMENT PORTFOLIO

BOARD REVIEW AND APPROVAL OF INVESTMENT ADVISORY CONTRACTS (Unaudited)

 

I.   LifePath Master Portfolios (excluding LifePath 2050 Master Portfolio), Active Stock Master Portfolio and CoreAlpha Bond Master Portfolio

Under Section 15(c) of the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the “1940 Act”), the Master Investment Portfolio (“MIP”) Board of Trustees (the “Board”), including a majority of Trustees who are not interested persons of MIP, as that term is defined in the 1940 Act (the “Independent Trustees”), is required annually to consider each Investment Advisory Contract between MIP and BGFA (each, an “Advisory Contract”) on behalf of the LifePath Retirement Master Portfolio, LifePath 2010 Master Portfolio, LifePath 2020 Master Portfolio, LifePath 2030 Master Portfolio, LifePath 2040 Master Portfolio (each, a “LifePath Master Portfolio,” collectively, the “LifePath Master Portfolios”), CoreAlpha Bond Master Portfolio and Active Stock Master Portfolio (collectively, the “Master Portfolios”). As required by Section 15(c), the Board requested and BGFA provided such information as the Board deemed to be reasonably necessary to evaluate the terms of the Advisory Contracts. At a meeting held on March 25-26, 2008, the Board approved the selection of BGFA and the continuance of the Advisory Contracts, based on its review of qualitative and quantitative information provided by BGFA. In selecting BGFA and approving the Advisory Contracts for the Master Portfolios, the Board, including the Independent Trustees, advised by their independent counsel, considered the following factors, none of which was controlling, and made the following conclusions:

NATURE, EXTENT AND QUALITY OF SERVICES PROVIDED BY BGFA

The Board anticipated that there would be no diminution in the scope of services required of BGFA under the Advisory Contracts for the coming year as compared to the scope of services provided by BGFA over the past year. In reviewing the scope of these services, the Board considered BGFA’s investment philosophy and experience, noting that, over the past several years, BGFA and its affiliates have committed significant resources to the support of the Master Portfolios. The Board considered in particular that BGFA’s services for the Master Portfolios capitalize on BGFA’s core competencies, including the effective use of its proprietary investment models analyzing securities market risk, asset class correlations and expected returns. The Board also considered services provided by BGFA and its affiliates in connection with the review of counterparty and issuer credit risk and securities lending opportunities and the oversight of intermediaries that provide BGI feeder fund shareholder support and processing functions.

The Board also considered BGFA’s compliance program and its compliance record with respect to the Master Portfolios. The Board noted that BGFA reports to the Board about portfolio management and compliance matters on a periodic basis in connection with regularly scheduled meetings of the Board, and has made appropriate officers available as needed to provide further assistance with these matters. The Board also reviewed the background and experience of the persons responsible for the day-to-day management of the Master Portfolios. In addition to the above considerations, the Board reviewed and considered BGFA’s investment processes and strategies, and matters related to BGFA’s portfolio transaction policies and procedures. The Board noted that BGFA does not serve as investment adviser for any other registered investment company with substantially similar investment objectives and strategies as any LifePath Master Portfolio; therefore, no such comparisons were available with respect to the LifePath Master Portfolios. The Board further noted that BGFA does not serve as investment adviser for any other registered investment company with substantially similar investment objectives and strategies as the Active Stock and CoreAlpha Bond Master Portfolios; therefore, no such comparisons were available with respect to those Master Portfolios. The Board also noted that all the Master Portfolios had met their investment objectives since their relevant inception dates. Based on this review, the Board concluded that the nature, extent and quality of services to be provided by BGFA to the Master Portfolios under the Advisory Contracts were appropriate and supported the Board’s approval of the Advisory Contracts for the coming year.

MASTER PORTFOLIOS’ EXPENSES AND PERFORMANCE OF THE MASTER PORTFOLIOS

The Board reviewed statistical information prepared by Lipper Inc. (“Lipper”), an independent provider of investment company data, regarding the expense ratio components, including actual advisory fees, waivers/reimbursements, and gross and net total expenses of each Master Portfolio in comparison with the same information for other registered investment companies, objectively selected by Lipper as comprising such Master Portfolio’s applicable peer group pursuant to Lipper’s proprietary methodology and registered investment companies that would otherwise have been excluded from Lipper’s comparison groups because of their size or other differentiating factors, but were nonetheless included at the request of BGFA (each a “Lipper Expense Group”). In addition, the Board reviewed statistical information prepared by Lipper regarding the performance of each Master Portfolio for the one-, three-, five- and ten-year (or “since inception”) periods ended December 31, 2007, as applicable, as compared to the performance of other registered

investment companies with similar investment objectives, as selected by Lipper as comprising each Master Portfolio’s applicable peer group pursuant to Lipper’s proprietary methodology and registered investment companies that would otherwise have been excluded from Lipper’s comparison groups because of their size or other differentiating factors, but were nonetheless included at the request of BGFA (each a “Lipper Performance Group”, and together with the Lipper Expense Groups, the “Lipper Groups”). The Board considered that the component funds of the Lipper Groups are publicly available funds, more analogous in overall expense structure to the Barclays Global Investors Funds LifePath Portfolios than to the underlying Master Portfolios, which are not available for investment except to other investment companies. In support of its review of the statistical information, the Board was provided with a detailed description of the methodology used by Lipper to determine the applicable Lipper Groups and to prepare this information.

The Board noted that each of the LifePath Master Portfolios and the Active Stock Master Portfolio performed below the median performance of their respective Lipper Performance Groups over the one-year period ended December 31, 2007, performed in line with or outperformed the median of their respective Lipper Performance Groups over the three-year period ended December 31, 2007, and, to the extent that sufficient data was available, performed just below or in line with the median of their respective Lipper Performance Groups over the five-year period ended December 31, 2007. The CoreAlpha Bond Master Portfolio performed above the median performance of its Lipper Performance Group over the one-year period ended December 31, 2007, performed just below the median performance of its Lipper Performance Group over the three-year period ended December 31, 2007, and performed below the median performance of its Lipper Performance Group over the five-year period ended December 31, 2007. The Board noted that the CoreAlpha Bond Master Portfolio’s underperformance in relation to its benchmark was in part attributable to the effect of fees, as has been the case historically, and, in particular with respect to this year, in part attributable to liquidity crises, increased volatility, and decreased opportunities for security outperformance relative to market performance during the periods covered. The Board noted the inherent challenges of comparing the performance of the LifePath Master Portfolios to other lifecycle funds, as lifecycle funds can differ significantly in their asset components and mixes. BGFA has developed custom benchmarks for purposes of providing a comparison for the performance of the LifePath Master Portfolios, but the custom benchmarks are composed of indices and do not reflect the fees, expenses and taxes incurred by funds. The Board noted that the Active Stock Master Portfolio’s underperformance in relation to its benchmark was in part attributable to the effect of fees, as has been the case historically, and, in particular with respect to this year, certain unusual market conditions, such as the effects of short sellers being forced to sell their higher quality “value” stocks (of the type typically held by the Active Stock Master Portfolio) in order to cover their eroding short positions in lower quality stocks (of the type typically not held by the Active Stock Master Portfolio), thus putting downward pressure on the price of higher quality stocks and driving up the price of lower quality stocks. The Board noted that the LifePath Master Portfolios underperformed their custom benchmarks in 2007 and on an annualized basis over five years. The Board also noted that the advisory fees, net of applicable waivers and reimbursements, and overall expenses for the LifePath Master Portfolios were generally lower than the advisory fee rates and overall expenses of the funds in their respective Lipper Expense Groups. The Board noted BGFA’s voluntary waiver of certain advisory fee amounts based on the advisory fees and/or administrative fees received by BGFA and/or BGI from the funds in which the LifePath Master Portfolios invested during the year ended December 31, 2007 and BGFA’s agreement to contractually waive certain advisory fee amounts based on the advisory fees and/or administrative fees received by BGFA and/or BGI from the funds in which the LifePath Master Portfolios will invest for the period May 1, 2008 through April 30, 2009. The Board noted that the advisory fees, net of applicable waivers and reimbursements, for each of the Active Stock and CoreAlpha Bond Master Portfolios were generally lower than the advisory fee rates of the funds in their respective Lipper Expense Groups, and the overall expenses, net of applicable waivers and reimbursements, for each of the Active Stock and the CoreAlpha Bond Master Portfolios were the lowest of the overall expenses of the funds in their respective Lipper Expense Groups. Based on this review, the Board concluded that the investment advisory fees and expense levels and the historical performance of the Master Portfolios, as managed by BGFA, as compared to the investment advisory fees and expense levels and performance of the funds in the Lipper Groups, were satisfactory for the purposes of approving the Advisory Contracts for the coming year.

COSTS OF SERVICES PROVIDED TO MASTER PORTFOLIOS AND PROFITS REALIZED BY BGFA AND AFFILIATES

The Board reviewed information about the profitability to BGFA of the Master Portfolios and the Barclays Global Investors Funds, separately and together, based on the fees payable to BGFA and its affiliates (including fees under the Advisory Contracts), and all other sources of revenue and expense to BGFA and its affiliates from the Master Portfolios’ operations

MASTER INVESTMENT PORTFOLIO

BOARD REVIEW AND APPROVAL OF INVESTMENT ADVISORY CONTRACTS (Unaudited) (Continued)

 

for the last calendar year. The Board discussed the sources of direct and ancillary revenue with management, including the revenues to BGI from securities lending by MIP (including any securities lending by a Master Portfolio), revenues received from transactions for MIP executed through affiliates (including any such transactions for a Master Portfolio), and any fee revenue from any investments by a Master Portfolio in other master portfolios and funds for which BGFA provides advisory services and/or BGI provides administration services. The Board also discussed BGFA’s contractual and voluntary fee waivers for the Master Portfolios and the profitability to BGFA and its affiliates of those Master Portfolios in which the LifePath Master Portfolios invest, as reflected in the materials, and noted the profitability to BGFA and its affiliates of the other funds advised by BGFA in which the LifePath Master Portfolios invest, as represented by BGFA during the meetings. Based on this review, the Board concluded that the profits realized by BGFA and its affiliates under the Advisory Contracts and from other relationships between the Master Portfolios and BGFA and/or its affiliates, if any, were within the range the Board considered reasonable and appropriate.

ECONOMIES OF SCALE

In connection with its review of BGFA’s profitability analysis, the Board received information regarding economies of scale or other efficiencies that may result from increases in the Master Portfolios’ asset levels. The Board noted that the Advisory Contracts do not provide any breakpoints in the investment advisory fee rates as a result of any increases in the asset levels of the Master Portfolios. However, the Board noted that the investment advisory fee rates for the Master Portfolios had been set initially at the lower end of the marketplace so as to afford the Master Portfolios’ interestholders the opportunity to share in anticipated economies of scale from inception. The Board also noted the difficulty of considering the potential for economies of scale based on advisory services independently and separately from any potential for economies of scale based on other services provided by BGFA and its affiliates. Based on the profitability analysis presented to the Board, which indicated that with respect to each Master Portfolio, BGFA and its affiliates are providing services at a profit to BGFA and its affiliates for the year, the Board discussed the potential for future economies of scale as the asset levels of the Master Portfolios increase. In light of this analysis and the relatively low investment advisory fee rates for the Master Portfolios, the Board determined that whether further economies of scale may be realized by the Master Portfolios or reflected in fee levels was not a significant factor at this juncture in its consideration of whether to approve the Advisory Contracts.

FEES AND SERVICES PROVIDED FOR OTHER COMPARABLE FUNDS/ACCOUNTS MANAGED BY BGFA AND ITS AFFILIATES

The Board considered the Master Portfolios’ annual investment advisory fee rates under the Advisory Contracts in comparison to the investment advisory/management fee rates for other funds/accounts with substantially similar investment objectives and strategies for which BGFA (or its affiliate, BGI) provides investment advisory/management services, including collective funds and separate accounts (together, the “Other Accounts”). The Board noted that BGFA had provided information distinguishing the level of services provided to the Other Accounts from the level of services provided to the LifePath Master Portfolios and the Active Stock Master Portfolio. In the context of the comparative fee analysis, the Board compared the nature and extent of services provided to the LifePath Master Portfolios and the Active Stock Master Portfolio to the nature and extent of services provided to the Other Accounts, including, among other things, the level of complexity in managing the LifePath Master Portfolios and the Active Stock Master Portfolio and the Other Accounts under differing regulatory requirements and client guidelines. BGFA and its affiliates do not provide investment advisory/management services to other funds registered under the 1940 Act or separate accounts with substantially similar investment objectives and strategies as the CoreAlpha Bond Master Portfolio.

The Board noted that: (i) the investment advisory fee rates under the LifePath Master Portfolios’Advisory Contracts were within the ranges of the investment management fee rates for the Other Accounts; and (ii) the investment advisory fee rate under the Advisory Contract for the Active Stock Master Portfolio was within the ranges of the investment management fee rates for the Other Accounts. The Board noted that any differences between the investment advisory fee rates for the Master Portfolios and the investment advisory/management fee rates for the Other Accounts appeared to be attributable to, among other things, the type and level of services provided and/or the asset levels of the Other Accounts. Based on this review, the Board determined that the investment advisory fee rates under the Advisory Contracts do not constitute fees that are so disproportionately large as to bear no reasonable relationship to the services rendered and that could not have been the product of arm’s-length bargaining, and concluded that the investment advisory fee rates under the Advisory Contracts are fair and reasonable.

OTHER BENEFITS TO BGFA AND/OR ITS AFFILIATES

The Board reviewed any ancillary revenue received by BGFA and/or its affiliates in connection with the services provided to MIP and the Master Portfolios by BGFA, such as any payment of revenue to BGI, MIP’s securities lending agent, for loaning any portfolio securities, payment of administration fees to BGI, MIP’s administrator, and payment of advisory fees and/or administration fees to BGFA and BGI in connection with any investments by the Master Portfolios in other funds for which BGFA provides investment advisory services and/or BGI provides administration services, as well as the associated voluntary waivers by BGFA and/or its affiliates of these fees, if any. The Board noted that BGFA does not use soft dollars or consider the value of research or other services that may be provided to BGFA (including its affiliates) in selecting brokers for portfolio transactions for the Master Portfolios. The Board further noted that during the past year no portfolio transactions were placed through a BGFA affiliate, as would be required to be reported to and considered by the Board pursuant to Rule 17e-1 under the 1940 Act. The Board concluded that any ancillary benefits would not be disadvantageous to the Master Portfolios’ interestholders.

Based on this analysis, the Board determined that the Advisory Contracts, including the investment advisory fee rates thereunder, are fair and reasonable in light of all relevant circumstances and concluded that it is in the best interest of the Master Portfolios and their interestholders to approve the Advisory Contracts for the coming year.

 

II.   LifePath 2050 Master Portfolio

Under Section 15(c) of the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the “1940 Act”), the Master Investment Portfolio (“MIP”) Board of Trustees (the “Board”), including a majority of Trustees who are not “interested persons” of MIP (as that term is defined in the 1940 Act) (the “Independent Trustees”), is required to consider the MIP entering into an Investment Advisory Contract with BGFA (the “Advisory Contract”) on behalf of the LifePath 2050 Master Portfolio (the “New Series”). As required by Section 15(c), the Board requested and BGFA provided, such information as the Board deemed reasonably necessary to evaluate the terms of the proposed Advisory Contract. At a meeting held on March 25-26, 2008, the Board approved the selection of BGFA and the Advisory Contract, based on its review of qualitative and quantitative information provided by BGFA. In selecting BGFA and approving the Advisory Contract for the New Series, the Board, including the Independent Trustees, advised by their independent counsel, considered the following factors, none of which was controlling, and made the following conclusions:

NATURE, EXTENT AND QUALITY OF SERVICES TO BE PROVIDED BY BGFA

The Board reviewed the scope of services to be provided by BGFA under the Advisory Contract. The Board anticipated that the scope of services to be provided by BGFA under the Advisory Contract would be consistent with the scope of services provided by BGFA to other LifePath Master Portfolios (the “LifePath Master Portfolios”). In reviewing the scope of services to be provided to the New Series by BGFA, the Board considered BGFA’s investment philosophy and experience, noting that over the past several years BGFA and its affiliates have committed significant resources to the support of MIP. The Board considered in particular that BGFA’s services for the LifePath Master Portfolios capitalize on BGFA’s core competencies, including the effective use of its proprietary investment models analyzing securities market risk, asset class correlations and expected returns. The Board also considered services provided by BGFA and its affiliates in connection with the review of counterparty and issuer credit risk and securities lending opportunities and the oversight of intermediaries that provide BGI feeder fund shareholder support and processing functions.

The Board also considered BGFA’s compliance program and its compliance record with respect to the LifePath Master Portfolios. The Board noted that BGFA reports to the Board about portfolio management and compliance matters on a periodic basis in connection with regularly scheduled meetings of the Board, and has made appropriate officers available as needed to provide further assistance with these matters. The Board also reviewed the background and experience of the persons responsible for the day-to-day management of the LifePath Master Portfolios. In addition to the above considerations, the Board reviewed and considered BGFA’s investment processes and strategies, and matters related to BGFA’s portfolio transaction policies and procedures. The Board noted that BGFA does not serve as investment adviser for any other registered investment companies with substantially similar investment objectives and strategies as the LifePath Master Portfolios; therefore, comparative performance information was generally not available with respect to the New Series. Based on review of this information, the Board concluded that the nature, extent and quality of services to be provided by BGFA to the New Series under the Advisory Contract were appropriate and supported the Board’s selection of BGFA as investment adviser to the New Series.

NEW SERIES’ EXPENSES

The Board reviewed statistical information prepared by Lipper Inc. (“Lipper”), an independent provider of investment company data, regarding the expense ratio components, including advisory fees, waivers/reimbursements, and gross and net total estimated expenses of the New Series in comparison with the same actual information for other funds registered under the 1940 Act objectively selected by Lipper as comprising the New Series’ applicable peer group pursuant to Lipper’s proprietary methodology and registered investment companies that would otherwise have been excluded from Lipper’s comparison groups because of their size or other differentiating factors, but were nonetheless included at the request of BGFA (the “Lipper Group”). In support of its review of the statistical information, the Board was provided with a detailed description of the methodology used by Lipper to determine the applicable Lipper Groups and to prepare this information. The Board further noted that due to the limitations in providing comparable funds in the various Lipper Groups, the statistical information may or may not provide meaningful direct comparisons to the New Series. The Board noted that the investment advisory fee rates and overall expense components for the New Series were lower than the median or average investment advisory fee rate and overall estimated expenses of the funds in their respective Lipper Groups. Based on this review, the Board concluded that the investment advisory fees and expense levels of the New Series, as proposed to be managed by BGFA, as compared to the investment advisory fees and expense levels of the funds in the relevant Lipper Group, were satisfactory for the purposes of approving the Advisory Contract.

COSTS OF SERVICES TO BE PROVIDED TO NEW SERIES AND PROFITS TO BE REALIZED BY BGFA AND AFFILIATES

The Board did not consider the profitability of the New Series to BGFA based on the fees payable under the Advisory Contract or revenue to be received by BGFA or its affiliates in connection with services to be provided to the New Series since the proposed relationships had not yet commenced. However, the Board noted that it would consider and monitor these matters in the future.

ECONOMIES OF SCALE

The Board noted that the Advisory Contract for the New Series does not provide for breakpoints in the investment advisory fee rate as a result of any increases in the asset level of the New Series. However, the Board noted that possible future economies of scale had been taken into consideration by fixing the investment advisory fees at a rate generally at the lower end of that offered in the marketplace for similar products, effectively giving New Series interestholders, from inception, the benefits of the lower average fee interestholders would have received from a fee structure with declining breakpoints where the initial fee was higher. Based on this review, as well as the discussions described above in connection with the Lipper Group comparisons, the Board, recognizing its responsibility to consider this issue at least annually following an initial two-year period, concluded that the structure of the investment advisory fees at present reflects the sharing of potential economies of scale with the New Series’ interestholders.

FEES AND SERVICES PROVIDED FOR OTHER COMPARABLE FUNDS/ACCOUNTS MANAGED BY BGFA AND ITS AFFILIATES

The Board considered the New Series’ annual investment advisory fee rate under the Advisory Contract in comparison to the investment advisory/management fee rates for other funds/accounts with substantially similar investment objectives and strategies, for which BGFA (or its affiliate, BGI) provides investment advisory/management services, including collective funds and separate accounts (together, the “Other Accounts”). The Board noted that BGFA had provided information distinguishing the level of services provided to the Other Accounts from the level of services provided to the Master Portfolios. In the context of the comparative fee analysis, the Board compared the nature and extent of services expected to be provided to the New Series to the nature and extent of services provided to the Other Accounts, including, among other things, the level of complexity in managing the New Series and the Other Accounts under differing regulatory requirements and client guidelines.

The Board noted that the investment advisory fee rate under the New Series’ Advisory Contract was within the ranges of the investment management fee rates for the Other Accounts. The Board noted that any differences between the investment advisory fee rate for the New Series and the investment advisory/management fee rates for the Other Accounts appeared to be attributable to, among other things, the type and level of services provided and/or the asset levels of the Other Accounts. Based on this review, as well as the discussions described above in connection with the Lipper Group comparisons, the Board determined that the investment advisory fee rate under the Advisory Contract does not constitute fees that are so disproportionately large as to bear no reasonable relationship to the services expected to

be rendered and that could not have been the product of arm’s-length bargaining, and concluded that the investment advisory fee rate under the Advisory Contract is fair and reasonable.

OTHER BENEFITS TO BGFA AND/OR ITS AFFILIATES

Except as noted below, the Board did not consider any ancillary revenue actually received by BGFA and/or its affiliates in connection with the services to be provided to the New Series by BGFA since the proposed relationship had not yet commenced. However, the Board noted that BGFA would not use soft dollars or consider the value of research or other services that may be provided to BGFA (including its affiliates) in selecting brokers for portfolio transactions for the New Series. The Board did, however, consider the potential for revenue to BGI, MIP’s securities lending agent, in the event of any loaning of portfolio securities of the New Series. The Board further noted that any portfolio transactions on behalf of the New Series placed through a BGFA affiliate will be reported to the Board pursuant to Rule 17e-1 under the 1940 Act.

Based on this analysis, the Board determined that the Advisory Contract, including the investment advisory fee rate thereunder, is fair and reasonable in light of all relevant circumstances and concluded that it is in the best interest of the New Series and their shareholders to approve the Advisory Contract.

MASTER INVESTMENT PORTFOLIO

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)

Master Investment Portfolio (“MIP”) is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), as an open-end series management investment company organized as a Delaware statutory trust. As of June 30, 2008, MIP offered the following separate portfolios: Active Stock, Bond Index, CoreAlpha Bond, Government Money Market, LifePath Retirement, LifePath 2010, LifePath 2020, LifePath 2030, LifePath 2040, LifePath 2050, Money Market, Prime Money Market, S&P 500 Index and Treasury Money Market Master Portfolios. The LifePath 2050 Master Portfolio commenced operations on June 30, 2008.

These financial statements relate only to the Government Money Market, Money Market, Prime Money Market and Treasury Money Market Master Portfolios (each, a “Master Portfolio,” collectively, the “Master Portfolios”).

Pursuant to MIP’s organizational documents, the Master Portfolios’ officers and trustees are indemnified against certain liabilities that may arise out of the performance of their duties to the Master Portfolios. Additionally, in the normal course of business, the Master Portfolios enter into contracts with service providers that contain general indemnification clauses. The Master Portfolios’ maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Master Portfolios that have not yet occurred.

 

1.   SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The following significant accounting policies are consistently followed by MIP in the preparation of its financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”). The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make certain estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

SECURITY VALUATION

The Master Portfolios use the amortized cost method of valuation to determine the value of their portfolio securities in accordance with Rule 2a-7 under the 1940 Act. The amortized cost method, which involves valuing a security at its cost and accreting or amortizing any discount or premium, respectively, over the period until maturity, approximates market value. At such intervals as the Board of Trustees (the “Board”) may deem appropriate, a review of the deviation of the Master Portfolios’ net assets calculated by using available market quotations (or an appropriate substitute which reflects current market conditions) and the valuation based on amortized cost will be performed. If the Board determines that the extent of any deviation from the Master Portfolios’ amortized cost valuation will result in material dilution or other unfair results to investors or existing interestholders it will take such action as it deems appropriate.

Effective January 1, 2008, the Master Portfolios adopted Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157 (“FAS 157”), “Fair Value Measurements.” This standard defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and expands disclosure about fair value measurements. Various inputs are used in determining the value of the Master Portfolios’ investments. These inputs are summarized in the three broad levels listed below.

 

   

Level 1 – quoted prices in active markets for identical investments

 

   

Level 2 – other significant observable inputs (including, but not limited to, use of amortized cost, quoted prices for similar investments, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.)

 

   

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

The inputs or methodology used for valuation are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those investments.

SECURITY TRANSACTIONS AND INCOME RECOGNITION

Security transactions are accounted for on trade date. Interest income is accrued daily. Realized gains and losses on investment transactions are determined using the specific identification method. The Master Portfolios amortize premium and accrete discount using a constant yield to maturity method.

FEDERAL INCOME TAXES

In general, MIP believes that each Master Portfolio has and will continue to be operated in a manner so as to qualify it as a non-publicly traded partnership for federal income tax purposes. Provided that each such Master Portfolio so qualifies, it will not be subject to any federal income tax on its income and gains (if any). However, each interestholder in such a Master Portfolio will be taxed on its distributive share of the Master Portfolio’s taxable income in determining its federal income tax liability. As a non-publicly traded partnership for federal income tax purposes, each such Master Portfolio will be deemed to have “passed through” to its interestholders any interest, dividends, gains or losses of the Master Portfolio for such purposes. The determination of such share will be made in accordance with the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), and regulations promulgated thereunder.

In the case of Master Portfolios with only one interestholder, such as the Government Money Market and Treasury Money Market Master Portfolios, MIP believes that such Master Portfolios will not be treated as a separate entity for federal income tax purposes, and, therefore, will not be subject to any federal income tax on their income and gains (if any). Rather, such Master Portfolios’ assets and interest, dividends and gains or losses will be treated as assets and interest, dividends and gains or losses of the interestholders.

It is intended that each Master Portfolio’s assets, income and distributions will be managed in such a way that an entity electing and qualifying as a “regulated investment company” under the Code can continue to so qualify by investing substantially all of its assets through the Master Portfolio, provided that the regulated investment company meets other requirements for such qualifications not within the control of the Master Portfolio (e.g., distributing at least 90% of the regulated investment company’s “investment company taxable income” annually).

As of June 30, 2008, the Master Portfolios’ costs of investments for federal income tax purposes were the same as for financial reporting purposes.

The Master Portfolios adopted FASB Interpretation No. 48 (“FIN 48”), “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes – an Interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109.” FIN 48 clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. FIN 48 provides guidance on the measurement, recognition, classification and disclosures of tax positions, along with accounting for the related interest and penalties. Management has reviewed the tax positions as of June 30, 2008, inclusive of the prior three open tax return years, and has determined that the implementation of FIN 48 did not have a material impact on the Master Portfolios’ financial statements.

REPURCHASE AGREEMENTS

The Master Portfolios may enter into repurchase agreements with banks and securities dealers. These transactions involve the purchase of securities with a simultaneous commitment to resell the securities to the bank or the dealer at an agreed-upon date and price. A repurchase agreement is accounted for as an investment by the Master Portfolio, collateralized by securities, which are delivered to the Master Portfolio’s custodian or to an agent bank under a tri-party agreement. The securities are marked-to-market daily and additional securities are acquired as needed, to ensure that their value equals or exceeds the repurchase price plus accrued interest.

2.   AGREEMENTS AND OTHER TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES

Pursuant to an Investment Advisory Contract with the Master Portfolios, Barclays Global Fund Advisors (“BGFA”) provides investment advisory services to each Master Portfolio. BGFA is a California corporation indirectly owned by Barclays Bank PLC. BGFA is entitled to receive an annual investment advisory fee of 0.10% of the average daily net assets of each of the Master Portfolios, as compensation for investment advisory services. BGFA has contractually agreed to waive a portion of its advisory fees through April 30, 2009. After giving effect to such contractual waiver, the advisory fees will be 0.07%. From time to time, BGFA may waive an additional portion of its advisory fees. Any such waivers will reduce the expenses of the Master Portfolio and, accordingly, have a favorable impact on its performance.

The fees and expenses of the Master Portfolios’ trustees who are not “interested persons” of MIP, as defined in the 1940 Act (“Independent Trustees”), counsel to the Independent Trustees and MIP’s independent registered public accounting firm (the “independent expenses”) are paid directly by the Master Portfolios. BGFA has contractually agreed to cap the expenses of the Master Portfolios at the rate at which the Master Portfolios pay an advisory fee to BGFA by providing an offsetting credit against the investment advisory fees paid by the Master Portfolios in an amount equal to the independent expenses.

For the six months ended June 30, 2008, BGFA waived and/or credited investment advisory fees of $80,644, $5,038,498, $3,962,835 and $75,523 for the Government Money Market, Money Market, Prime Money Market and Treasury Money Market Master Portfolios, respectively.

State Street Bank and Trust Company (“State Street”) serves as the custodian and sub-administrator of the Master Portfolios. State Street will not be entitled to receive fees for its custodial services, so long as it is entitled to receive a separate fee from Barclays Global Investors, N.A. (“BGI”) for its services as sub-administrator of the Master Portfolios.

SEI Investments Distribution Company (“SEI”) is the sponsor and placement agent for the Master Portfolios. SEI does not receive any fee from the Master Portfolios for acting as placement agent.

MIP has entered into an administration services arrangement with BGI, which has agreed to provide general administration services, such as managing and coordinating third-party service relationships (e.g., the Master Portfolios’ custodian, financial printer, legal counsel and independent registered public accounting firm), to the Master Portfolios. BGI is not entitled to compensation for providing administration services to the Master Portfolios, for so long as BGI is entitled to compensation for providing administration services to corresponding feeder funds that invest substantially all of their assets in the Master Portfolios, or BGI (or an affiliate) receives investment advisory fees from the Master Portfolios. BGI may delegate certain of its administration duties to sub-administrators.

On February 19, 2008, an affiliate of BGFA purchased securities from the Prime Money Market Master Portfolio and Money Market Master Portfolio for cash at $34,998,569 and $181,990,742, respectively, prices in excess of the securities’ then current fair value. The excess of the purchase price over fair value is disclosed in the Statements of Operations as a payment from affiliate.

Certain officers and trustees of MIP are also officers of BGI and/or BGFA. As of June 30, 2008, these officers of BGI and/or BGFA collectively owned less than 1% of MIP’s outstanding beneficial interests.

MASTER INVESTMENT PORTFOLIO

BOARD REVIEW AND APPROVAL OF INVESTMENT ADVISORY CONTRACTS (Unaudited)

Under Section 15(c) of the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the “1940 Act”), the Master Investment Portfolio (“MIP”) Board of Trustees (the “Board”), including a majority of Trustees who are not interested persons of MIP, as that term is defined in the 1940 Act (the “Independent Trustees”), is required annually to consider each Investment Advisory Contract between MIP and BGFA (each, an “Advisory Contract”) on behalf of Money Market Master Portfolio, Prime Money Market Master Portfolio, Government Money Market Master Portfolio, and Treasury Money Market Master Portfolio (collectively, the “Master Portfolios”). As required by Section 15(c), the Board requested and BGFA provided such information as the Board deemed to be reasonably necessary to evaluate the terms of the Advisory Contracts. At a meeting held on March 25-26, 2008, the Board approved the selection of BGFA and the continuance of the Advisory Contracts, based on its review of qualitative and quantitative information provided by BGFA. In selecting BGFA and approving the Advisory Contracts for the Master Portfolios, the Board, including the Independent Trustees, advised by their independent counsel, considered the following factors, none of which was controlling, and made the following conclusions:

NATURE, EXTENT AND QUALITY OF SERVICES PROVIDED BY BGFA

The Board anticipated that there would be no diminution in the scope of services required of BGFA under the Advisory Contracts for the coming year as compared to the scope of services provided by BGFA over the past year. In reviewing the scope of these services, the Board considered BGFA’s investment philosophy and experience, noting that, over the past several years, BGFA and its affiliates have committed significant resources to the support of the Master Portfolios. The Board considered in particular that BGFA’s services for the Master Portfolios capitalize on BGFA’s core competencies, including the effective use of integrated portfolio management and trading expertise and proprietary technology that provides real-time access to performance, analytics and risk. The Board also considered services provided by BGFA and its affiliates in connection with the review of counterparty and issuer credit risk and the oversight of intermediaries that provide BGI feeder fund shareholder support and processing functions.

The Board also considered BGFA’s compliance program and its compliance record with respect to the Master Portfolios. The Board noted that BGFA reports to the Board about portfolio management and compliance matters on a periodic basis in connection with regularly scheduled meetings of the Board, and has made appropriate officers available as needed to provide further assistance with these matters. The Board also reviewed the background and experience of the persons responsible for the day-to-day management of the Master Portfolios. In addition to the above considerations, the Board reviewed and considered BGFA’s investment processes and strategies, and matters related to BGFA’s portfolio transaction policies and procedures. The Board further noted that BGFA does not serve as investment adviser for any other registered investment companies with substantially similar investment objectives and strategies as the Master Portfolios; therefore, no comparative performance information was available. The Board also noted that during BGFA’s term as investment adviser, the Master Portfolios have met their investment objectives. Based on this review, the Board concluded that the nature, extent and quality of services to be provided by BGFA to the Master Portfolios under the Advisory Contracts were appropriate and supported the Board’s approval of the Advisory Contracts for the coming year.

MASTER PORTFOLIOS’ EXPENSES AND PERFORMANCE OF THE MASTER PORTFOLIOS

The Board reviewed statistical information prepared by Lipper Inc. (“Lipper”), an independent provider of investment company data, regarding the expense ratio components, including actual advisory fees, waivers/reimbursements, and gross and net total expenses of each Master Portfolio in comparison with the same information for other investment companies registered under the 1940 Act, objectively selected by Lipper as comprising each Master Portfolio’s applicable peer group pursuant to Lipper’s proprietary methodology (the “Lipper Expense Group”). In addition, the Board reviewed statistical information prepared by Lipper regarding the performance of each Master Portfolio for the one-, three-, five-, and ten-year (or since inception) periods ended December 31, 2007, as applicable, and as compared to the performance of other registered investment companies with similar investment objectives, as selected by Lipper as comprising each Master Portfolio’s applicable peer group pursuant to Lipper’s proprietary methodology and registered funds that would otherwise have been excluded from Lipper’s comparison groups because of their size or other differentiating factors, but were nonetheless included at the request of BGFA (the “Lipper Performance Group”, and together with the Lipper Expense Group, the “Lipper Groups”). The Board considered that the component funds of the Lipper Groups are publicly available funds, more analogous in overall expense structure to the Barclays Global Investors Funds Money Market Funds than to the underlying Master Portfolios, which are not available for investment except to other investment companies. In support of its review of the statistical information, the Board was provided with a detailed description of the methodology used by Lipper to determine the applicable Lipper Groups and to prepare this information.

MASTER INVESTMENT PORTFOLIO

BOARD REVIEW AND APPROVAL OF INVESTMENT ADVISORY CONTRACTS (Unaudited) (Continued)

 

The Board noted that each Master Portfolio outperformed the median performance of the funds in its Lipper Performance Group over relevant periods. The Board noted that the advisory fees for the Master Portfolios were generally lower than the advisory fee rates of the funds in their Lipper Expense Groups. The Board also noted that overall expenses for the Master Portfolios were generally lower than the overall expenses for the funds in their Lipper Expense Groups, both net and gross of BGFA’s voluntary waiver of certain advisory and administration fee amounts for certain of the Master Portfolios during the year ended December 31, 2007 and BGFA’s agreement to contractually waive a portion of its advisory fee for each of the Master Portfolios, from May 1, 2008 through April 30, 2009. Based on this review, the Board concluded that the investment advisory fees and expense levels and the historical performance of the Master Portfolios, as managed by BGFA, as compared to the investment advisory fees and expense levels and performance of the funds in the Lipper Groups, were satisfactory for the purposes of approving the Advisory Contracts for the coming year.

COSTS OF SERVICES PROVIDED TO MASTER PORTFOLIOS AND PROFITS REALIZED BY BGFA AND AFFILIATES

The Board reviewed information about the profitability to BGFA of the Master Portfolios and the Barclays Global Investors Funds, separately and together, based on the fees payable to BGFA and its affiliates (including fees under the Advisory Contracts), and all other sources of revenue and expense to BGFA and its affiliates from the Master Portfolios’ operations for the last calendar year. The Board analyzed the Master Portfolios’ expenses, including the investment advisory fees paid to BGFA. The Board discussed the sources of direct and ancillary revenue with management, including the revenues to BGI from securities lending by MIP (including any securities lending by a Master Portfolio), revenues received from transactions for MIP executed through affiliates (including any such transactions for a Master Portfolio), and any fee revenue from any investments by a Master Portfolio in other funds for which BGFA provides advisory services and/or BGI provides administration services. The Board also discussed BGFA’s contractual and voluntary fee waivers for the Master Portfolios. Based on this review, the Board concluded that the profits realized by BGFA and its affiliates under the Advisory Contracts and from other relationships between the Master Portfolios and BGFA and/or its affiliates, if any, were within the range the Board considered reasonable and appropriate.

ECONOMIES OF SCALE

In connection with its review of BGFA’s profitability analysis, the Board received information regarding economies of scale or other efficiencies that may result from increases in the Master Portfolios’ asset levels. The Board noted that the Advisory Contracts do not provide any breakpoints in the investment advisory fee rates as a result of any increases in the asset levels of the Master Portfolios. However, the Board noted that the investment advisory fee rates for the Master Portfolios had been set initially at the lower end of the marketplace so as to afford the Master Portfolios’ interestholders the opportunity to share in anticipated economies of scale from inception and noted BGFA’s agreement to contractually waive a portion of its advisory fee for each of the Master Portfolios, as discussed above. The Board also noted the difficulty of considering the potential for economies of scale based on advisory services independently and separately from any potential for economies of scale based on other services provided by BGFA and its affiliates. Based on the profitability analysis presented to the Board, which indicated that BGFA and its affiliates are profitable with respect to certain of the Master Portfolios while providing services at a loss to certain other Master Portfolios, with the overall MIP complex posting a profit to BGFA and its affiliates for the year, the Board discussed the potential for future economies of scale as the asset levels of the Master Portfolios increase. In light of this analysis and the relatively low investment advisory fee rates for the Master Portfolios, the Board determined that whether further economies of scale may be realized by the Master Portfolios or reflected in fee levels was not a significant factor at this juncture in its consideration of whether to approve the Advisory Contracts.

FEES AND SERVICES PROVIDED FOR OTHER COMPARABLE FUNDS/ACCOUNTS MANAGED BY BGFA AND ITS AFFILIATES

The Board considered the Master Portfolios’ annual investment advisory fee rates under the Advisory Contracts in comparison to the investment advisory/management fee rates for collective funds with substantially similar investment objectives and strategies for which BGFA (or its affiliate BGI) provides investment advisory/management services. BGFA and its affiliates do not provide investment advisory/management services to other investment companies registered under the 1940 Act or separate accounts with substantially similar investment objectives and strategies as the Master Portfolios. The Board noted that BGFA had provided information distinguishing the level of services provided to the collective funds from the level of services provided to the Master Portfolios. In the context of the comparative fee analysis, the Board compared the nature and extent of services provided to the Master Portfolios in comparison with the

MASTER INVESTMENT PORTFOLIO

BOARD REVIEW AND APPROVAL OF INVESTMENT ADVISORY CONTRACTS (Unaudited) (Continued)

 

nature and extent of services provided to the collective funds, including, among other things, the level of complexity in managing the Master Portfolios and the collective funds under differing regulatory requirements and client guidelines.

The Board noted that the investment advisory fee rates under the Master Portfolios’ Advisory Contracts were within the range of the investment management fee rates for the collective funds. The Board noted that any differences between the advisory fee rates for certain of the Master Portfolios and the investment management fee rates for the collective funds appeared to be attributable to, among other things, the type and level of services provided and/or the asset levels of the collective funds. Based on this review, the Board determined that the investment advisory fee rates under the Advisory Contracts do not constitute fees that are so disproportionately large as to bear no reasonable relationship to the services rendered and that could not have been the product of arm’s-length bargaining, and concluded that the investment advisory fee rates under the Advisory Contracts are fair and reasonable.

OTHER BENEFITS TO BGFA AND/OR ITS AFFILIATES

The Board reviewed any ancillary revenue received by BGFA and/or its affiliates in connection with the services provided to MIP and the Master Portfolios by BGFA, such as payment of administration fees to BGI, MIP’s administrator. The Board noted that BGFA does not use soft dollars or consider the value of research or other services that may be provided to BGFA (including its affiliates) in selecting brokers for portfolio transactions for the Master Portfolios. The Board further noted that the Master Portfolios may, but generally do not, participate in securities lending activities and generally do not execute transactions with affiliated brokers, as do other series of MIP. The Board concluded that any ancillary benefits would not be disadvantageous to the Master Portfolios’ interestholders.

Based on this analysis, the Board determined that the Advisory Contracts, including the investment advisory fee rates thereunder, are fair and reasonable in light of all relevant circumstances and concluded that it is in the best interest of the Master Portfolios and their interestholders to approve the Advisory Contracts for the coming year.
