BlackRock Aggressive Growth Portfolio

 

Schedule of Investments as of September 30, 2008 (Unaudited)

 

The Portfolio adopted the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements” (FAS 157), effective with the beginning of the Portfolio’s fiscal year. FAS 157 establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosures about fair value measurements in financial statements. Management has evaluated the application of FAS 157 to the Portfolio, and has determined that the adoption of FAS 157 does not have a material impact on the Portfolio’s financial statements. The three levels of the hierarchy under FAS 157 are described below:

 

Level 1—quoted prices in active markets for identical securities

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

Level 3—significant unobservable inputs (including the Adviser and Subadvisor’s own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments)

 

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

 

The following is a summary of the inputs used to value the Portfolio’s net assets as of September 30, 2008:

 

Valuation Inputs

Level 1—Quoted Prices

Level 3—Significant Unobservable Inputs

   $ 1,126,278,074    $ 0

 

  * Other financial instruments are derivative instruments not reflected in the Schedule of Investments, such as futures, forwards, swap contracts and written options, which are valued based on the unrealized appreciation/depreciation on the instrument.

BlackRock Bond Income Portfolio

 

Schedule of Investments as of September 30, 2008 (Unaudited)

 

The Portfolio adopted the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements” (FAS 157), effective with the beginning of the Portfolio’s fiscal year. FAS 157 establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosures about fair value measurements in financial statements. Management has evaluated the application of FAS 157 to the Portfolio, and has determined that the adoption of FAS 157 does not have a material impact on the Portfolio’s financial statements. The three levels of the hierarchy under FAS 157 are described below:

 

Level 1—quoted prices in active markets for identical securities

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

Level 3—significant unobservable inputs (including the Adviser and Subadvisor’s own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments)

 

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

 

The following is a summary of the inputs used to value the Portfolio’s net assets as of September 30, 2008:

BlackRock Diversified Portfolio

 

Schedule of Investments as of September 30, 2008 (Unaudited)

 

The Portfolio adopted the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements” (FAS 157), effective with the beginning of the Portfolio’s fiscal year. FAS 157 establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosures about fair value measurements in financial statements. Management has evaluated the application of FAS 157 to the Portfolio, and has determined that the adoption of FAS 157 does not have a material impact on the Portfolio’s financial statements. The three levels of the hierarchy under FAS 157 are described below:

 

Level 1—quoted prices in active markets for identical securities

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

Level 3—significant unobservable inputs (including the Adviser and Subadvisor’s own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments)

 

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

 

The following is a summary of the inputs used to value the Portfolio’s net assets as of September 30, 2008:

 

Valuation Inputs

   Investments In
Securities
   Other Financial
Instruments*

Level 1—Quoted Prices

   $ 863,856,359    $ 332,951

Level 2—Other Significant Observable Inputs

Level 3—Significant Unobservable Inputs

     1,133,430      0
             

Total

   $ 1,570,120,772    $ 332,951

 

  * Other financial instruments are derivative instruments not reflected in the Schedule of Investments, such as futures, forwards, swap contracts and written options, which are valued based on the unrealized appreciation/depreciation on the instrument.

 

Following is a reconciliation of Level 3 assets for which significant unobservable inputs were used to determine fair value:

BlackRock Money Market Portfolio

 

Schedule of Investments as of September 30, 2008 (Unaudited)

 

(a) Variable or Floating Rate Security. Rate disclosed is as of September 30, 2008.
(b) Illiquid securities representing in the aggregate 0.8% of total net assets.
(c) The aggregate cost of investments for federal income tax purposes as of September 30, 2008 was $2,062,477,896.
(144A)— Securities exempt from registration under Rule 144A of the Securities Act of 1933. These securities may be resold in transactions exempt from registration, normally to qualified institutional buyers. As of September 30, 2008, the market value of 144A securities was $16,520,000, which is 0.8% of total net assets.

 

The Portfolio adopted the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements” (FAS 157), effective with the beginning of the Portfolio’s fiscal year. FAS 157 establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosures about fair value measurements in financial statements. Management has evaluated the application of FAS 157 to the Portfolio, and has determined that the adoption of FAS 157 does not have a material impact on the Portfolio’s financial statements. The three levels of the hierarchy under FAS 157 are described below:

 

Level 1—quoted prices in active markets for identical securities

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

Level 3—significant unobservable inputs (including the Adviser and Subadvisor’s own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments)

 

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

 

The following is a summary of the inputs used to value the Portfolio’s net assets as of September 30, 2008:

BlackRock Strategic Value Portfolio

 

Schedule of Investments as of September 30, 2008 (Unaudited)

 

The Portfolio adopted the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements” (FAS 157), effective with the beginning of the Portfolio’s fiscal year. FAS 157 establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosures about fair value measurements in financial statements. Management has evaluated the application of FAS 157 to the Portfolio, and has determined that the adoption of FAS 157 does not have a material impact on the Portfolio’s financial statements. The three levels of the hierarchy under FAS 157 are described below:

 

Level 1—quoted prices in active markets for identical securities

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

Level 3—significant unobservable inputs (including the Adviser and Subadvisor’s own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments)

 

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

 

The following is a summary of the inputs used to value the Portfolio’s net assets as of September 30, 2008:

(ADR)— An American Depositary Receipt is a certificate issued by a custodian bank representing the right to receive securities of the foreign issuer described. Trading on exchanges not located in the United States or Canada significantly influences the value of ADRs.

 

The Portfolio adopted the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements” (FAS 157), effective with the beginning of the Portfolio’s fiscal year. FAS 157 establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosures about fair value measurements in financial statements. Management has evaluated the application of FAS 157 to the Portfolio, and has determined that the adoption of FAS 157 does not have a material impact on the Portfolio’s financial statements. The three levels of the hierarchy under FAS 157 are described below:

 

Level 1—quoted prices in active markets for identical securities

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

Level 3—significant unobservable inputs (including the Adviser and Subadvisor’s own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments)

 

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

 

The following is a summary of the inputs used to value the Portfolio’s net assets as of September 30, 2008:

FI Mid Cap Opportunities Portfolio

 

Schedule of Investments as of September 30, 2008 (Unaudited)

 

The Portfolio adopted the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements” (FAS 157), effective with the beginning of the Portfolio’s fiscal year. FAS 157 establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosures about fair value measurements in financial statements. Management has evaluated the application of FAS 157 to the Portfolio, and has determined that the adoption of FAS 157 does not have a material impact on the Portfolio’s financial statements. The three levels of the hierarchy under FAS 157 are described below:

 

Level 1—quoted prices in active markets for identical securities

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

Level 3—significant unobservable inputs (including the Adviser and Subadvisor’s own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments)

 

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

 

The following is a summary of the inputs used to value the Portfolio’s net assets as of September 30, 2008:

The three levels of the hierarchy under FAS 157 are described below:

 

Level 1—quoted prices in active markets for identical securities

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

Level 3—significant unobservable inputs (including the Adviser and Subadvisor’s own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments)

 

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

The Portfolio adopted the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements” (FAS 157), effective with the beginning of the Portfolio’s fiscal year. FAS 157 establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosures about fair value measurements in financial statements. Management has evaluated the application of FAS 157 to the Portfolio, and has determined that the adoption of FAS 157 does not have a material impact on the Portfolio’s financial statements. The three levels of the hierarchy under FAS 157 are described below:

 

Level 1—quoted prices in active markets for identical securities

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

Level 3—significant unobservable inputs (including the Adviser and Subadvisor’s own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments)

 

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

Julius Baer International Stock Portfolio

 

Schedule of Investments as of September 30, 2008 (Unaudited)

 

 

The Portfolio adopted the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements” (FAS 157), effective with the beginning of the Portfolio’s fiscal year. FAS 157 establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosures about fair value measurements in financial statements. Management has evaluated the application of FAS 157 to the Portfolio, and has determined that the adoption of FAS 157 does not have a material impact on the Portfolio’s financial statements. The three levels of the hierarchy under FAS 157 are described below:

 

Level 1—quoted prices in active markets for identical securities

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

Level 3—significant unobservable inputs (including the Adviser and Subadvisor’s own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments)

 

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

 

The following is a summary of the inputs used to value the Portfolio’s net assets as of September 30, 2008:

(a) A portion or all of the security was held on loan. As of September 30, 2008, the market value of securities loaned was $365,436,363 and the collateral received consisted of cash in the amount of $362,947,668 and non-cash collateral with a value of $14,223,679. The cash collateral is invested in a money market fund managed by an affiliate of the custodian. The non-cash collateral received consists primarily of government securities and bank letters of credit, and are held for the benefit of the Portfolio at the Portfolio’s custodian.
(b) Variable or Floating Rate Security. Rate disclosed is as of September 30, 2008.
(c) Non-Income Producing.
(d) Represents investment of cash collateral received from securities lending transactions.
(e) The aggregate cost of investments for federal income tax purposes as of September 30, 2008 was $1,660,183,367 and the composition of unrealized appreciation and depreciation of investment securities was $18,530,339 and $(36,500,801), respectively.

 

The Portfolio adopted the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements” (FAS 157), effective with the beginning of the Portfolio’s fiscal year. FAS 157 establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosures about fair value measurements in financial statements. Management has evaluated the application of FAS 157 to the Portfolio, and has determined that the adoption of FAS 157 does not have a material impact on the Portfolio’s financial statements. The three levels of the hierarchy under FAS 157 are described below:

 

Level 1—quoted prices in active markets for identical securities

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

Level 3—significant unobservable inputs (including the Adviser and Subadvisor’s own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments)

 

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

 

The following is a summary of the inputs used to value the Portfolio’s net assets as of September 30, 2008:

(ADR)— An American Depositary Receipt is a certificate issued by a custodian bank representing the right to receive securities of the foreign issuer described. Trading on exchanges not located in the United States or Canada significantly influences the value of ADRs.

 

The Portfolio adopted the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements” (FAS 157), effective with the beginning of the Portfolio’s fiscal year. FAS 157 establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosures about fair value measurements in financial statements. Management has evaluated the application of FAS 157 to the Portfolio, and has determined that the adoption of FAS 157 does not have a material impact on the Portfolio’s financial statements. The three levels of the hierarchy under FAS 157 are described below:

 

Level 1—quoted prices in active markets for identical securities

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

Level 3—significant unobservable inputs (including the Adviser and Subadvisor’s own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments)

 

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

(a) The aggregate cost of investments for federal income tax purposes as of September 30, 2008 was $291,330,837 and the unrealized depreciation of investment securities was $(30,022,051).

 

The Portfolio adopted the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements” (FAS 157), effective with the beginning of the Portfolio’s fiscal year. FAS 157 establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosures about fair value measurements in financial statements. Management has evaluated the application of FAS 157 to the Portfolio, and has determined that the adoption of FAS 157 does not have a material impact on the Portfolio’s financial statements. The three levels of the hierarchy under FAS 157 are described below:

 

Level 1—quoted prices in active markets for identical securities

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

Level 3—significant unobservable inputs (including the Adviser and Subadvisor’s own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments)

 

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

The Portfolio adopted the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements” (FAS 157), effective with the beginning of the Portfolio’s fiscal year. FAS 157 establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosures about fair value measurements in financial statements. Management has evaluated the application of FAS 157 to the Portfolio, and has determined that the adoption of FAS 157 does not have a material impact on the Portfolio’s financial statements. The three levels of the hierarchy under FAS 157 are described below:

 

Level 1—quoted prices in active markets for identical securities

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

Level 3—significant unobservable inputs (including the Adviser and Subadvisor’s own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments)

 

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

MetLife Stock Index Portfolio

 

Schedule of Investments as of September 30, 2008 (Unaudited)

 

 

The Portfolio adopted the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements” (FAS 157), effective with the beginning of the Portfolio’s fiscal year. FAS 157 establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosures about fair value measurements in financial statements. Management has evaluated the application of FAS 157 to the Portfolio, and has determined that the adoption of FAS 157 does not have a material impact on the Portfolio’s financial statements. The three levels of the hierarchy under FAS 157 are described below:

 

Level 1—quoted prices in active markets for identical securities

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

Level 3—significant unobservable inputs (including the Adviser and Subadvisor’s own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments)

 

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

 

The following is a summary of the inputs used to value the Portfolio’s net assets as of September 30, 2008:

Schedule of Investments as of September 30, 2008 (Unaudited)

 

 

The Portfolio adopted the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements” (FAS 157), effective with the beginning of the Portfolio’s fiscal year. FAS 157 establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosures about fair value measurements in financial statements. Management has evaluated the application of FAS 157 to the Portfolio, and has determined that the adoption of FAS 157 does not have a material impact on the Portfolio’s financial statements. The three levels of the hierarchy under FAS 157 are described below:

 

Level 1—quoted prices in active markets for identical securities

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

Level 3—significant unobservable inputs (including the Adviser and Subadvisor’s own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments)

 

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

The Portfolio adopted the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements” (FAS 157), effective with the beginning of the Portfolio’s fiscal year. FAS 157 establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosures about fair value measurements in financial statements. Management has evaluated the application of FAS 157 to the Portfolio, and has determined that the adoption of FAS 157 does not have a material impact on the Portfolio’s financial statements. The three levels of the hierarchy under FAS 157 are described below:

 

Level 1—quoted prices in active markets for identical securities

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

Level 3—significant unobservable inputs (including the Adviser and Subadvisor’s own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments)

 

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

 

The following is a summary of the inputs used to value the Portfolio’s net assets as of September 30, 2008:

Russell 2000 Index Portfolio

 

Schedule of Investments as of September 30, 2008 (Unaudited)

 

The Portfolio adopted the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements” (FAS 157), effective with the beginning of the Portfolio’s fiscal year. FAS 157 establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosures about fair value measurements in financial statements. Management has evaluated the application of FAS 157 to the Portfolio, and has determined that the adoption of FAS 157 does not have a material impact on the Portfolio’s financial statements. The three levels of the hierarchy under FAS 157 are described below:

 

Level 1—quoted prices in active markets for identical securities

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

Level 3—significant unobservable inputs (including the Adviser and Subadvisor’s own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments)

 

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

 

The following is a summary of the inputs used to value the Portfolio’s net assets as of September 30, 2008:

The Portfolio adopted the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements” (FAS 157), effective with the beginning of the Portfolio’s fiscal year. FAS 157 establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosures about fair value measurements in financial statements. Management has evaluated the application of FAS 157 to the Portfolio, and has determined that the adoption of FAS 157 does not have a material impact on the Portfolio’s financial statements. The three levels of the hierarchy under FAS 157 are described below:

 

Level 1—quoted prices in active markets for identical securities

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

Level 3—significant unobservable inputs (including the Adviser and Subadvisor’s own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments)

 

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

 

The following is a summary of the inputs used to value the Portfolio’s net assets as of September 30, 2008:

The Portfolio adopted the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements” (FAS 157), effective with the beginning of the Portfolio’s fiscal year. FAS 157 establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosures about fair value measurements in financial statements. Management has evaluated the application of FAS 157 to the Portfolio, and has determined that the adoption of FAS 157 does not have a material impact on the Portfolio’s financial statements. The three levels of the hierarchy under FAS 157 are described below:

 

Level 1—quoted prices in active markets for identical securities

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

Level 3—significant unobservable inputs (including the Adviser and Subadvisor’s own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments)

 

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

 

The following is a summary of the inputs used to value the Portfolio’s net assets as of September 30, 2008:

The Portfolio adopted the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements” (FAS 157), effective with the beginning of the Portfolio’s fiscal year. FAS 157 establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosures about fair value measurements in financial statements. Management has evaluated the application of FAS 157 to the Portfolio, and has determined that the adoption of FAS 157 does not have a material impact on the Portfolio’s financial statements. The three levels of the hierarchy under FAS 157 are described below:

 

Level 1—quoted prices in active markets for identical securities

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

Level 3—significant unobservable inputs (including the Adviser and Subadvisor’s own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments)

 

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

 

The following is a summary of the inputs used to value the Portfolio’s net assets as of September 30, 2008:

The Portfolio adopted the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements” (FAS 157), effective with the beginning of the Portfolio’s fiscal year. FAS 157 establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosures about fair value measurements in financial statements. Management has evaluated the application of FAS 157 to the Portfolio, and has determined that the adoption of FAS 157 does not have a material impact on the Portfolio’s financial statements. The three levels of the hierarchy under FAS 157 are described below:

 

Level 1—quoted prices in active markets for identical securities

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

Level 3—significant unobservable inputs (including the Adviser and Subadvisor’s own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments)

 

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