Dear Shareholder:

Enclosed is your copy of the 2012 Homestead Funds semi-annual report. The report contains information on each of the eight Homestead Funds, including portfolio holdings, performance information, and a review of market conditions.

The capital markets headed into the summer worried that slow growth at home and in the Eurozone would dampen the United States’ economic recovery. As in 2010 and 2011, stocks turned down sharply on European debt worries. While the economy had seemed resistant to European weakness, the lack of U.S. job creation prompted doubt that this would continue. The market rebounded, however, with the S&P 500 Index posting a strong gain on the last trading day of the second quarter. Overall, U.S. stock and bond markets finished with a positive return for the six-month period ending June 30th.

Looking ahead to the second half of the year, unemployment persists at high levels, retail sales are sluggish, and the so-called “fiscal cliff” looms at year’s end (when tax increases and deep spending cuts will take effect unless Congress reaches a budget agreement). Uncertainty surrounding these issues leaves some companies reluctant to expand and hire. On the positive side, corporate balance sheets, in general, have strengthened, the housing market has shown signs of improvement, and higher levels of manufacturing have become more evident. These positives could eventually set the stage for increased consumer spending, an essential ingredient for growth.

I hope this information will be helpful in understanding how your investments have performed so far this year. Additionally, I encourage you to take a look at our other fund offerings. Homestead Funds’ representatives can help you with your portfolio, relative to your financial goals and risk tolerance. Please give them a call at 1-800-258-3030 between the hours of 8:30 am and 5:00 pm, ET.

We appreciate your business and continued trust as an investor in Homestead Funds.

Sincerely,


Peter R. Morris
President and CEO

PERFORMANCE EVALUATION
Daily Income Fund

MARKET CONDITIONS
During the first half of 2012, the Federal Reserve maintained its accommodative policy of exceptionally low interest rates and extended its outlook for keeping rates low through late 2014. Consequently, short-term interest rates in high-quality credit markets of the type in which the Daily Income Fund invests have remained at historically low levels. Employment growth, which had been encouraging early in the year, has slowed in recent months, prompting fears that the economy is heading into another recession. The lack of a political consensus on handling the federal budget deficit has contributed to a general sense of uncertainty.

FUND PERFORMANCE
The Daily Income Fund earned an annualized total return of 0.01% for the first half of 2012. The seven-day effective annualized yield was 0.01%, unchanged from December 2011. Interest income for the Fund is netted against operating expenses. With interest income at historic lows, RE Advisers, investment manager to the Funds, continues to voluntarily waive fees and/or reimburse expenses to assist the Fund in maintaining a positive yield. As long as the Federal Reserve continues to maintain a federal funds rate close to zero, the Daily Income Fund will continue to earn very little interest income.

OUTLOOK
The Federal Reserve has indicated its intention to maintain interest rates at exceptionally low levels through late 2014. We anticipate a stable share price but little investment return until economic activity surprises to the upside, credit demand increases and the Federal Reserve moves away from its policy of low short-term interest rates.

PERFORMANCE EVALUATION
Short-Term Government Securities Fund and Short-Term Bond Fund

MARKET CONDITIONS
During the first half of 2012, the bond market generated modest positive returns as most of the same issues that dominated 2011 persisted into the New Year. The Federal Reserve continued its zero interest rate monetary policy, along with an expanding balance sheet; economic growth remained anemic given the amount of monetary and fiscal stimulus employed; the unemployment rate remained stubbornly high; and troubles in Europe continued as the European sovereign debt crisis engulfed Spain and Italy. While the housing market began to show real signs of life and auto sales remained firm, worries about Europe, a slowing Chinese economy and the potential “fiscal cliff” of tax increases and spending cuts that the economy faces at year-end led the Federal Reserve to downgrade its assessment for U.S. growth and employment at the June 20, 2012 Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) meeting. The Fed also announced an extension of “Operation Twist”, i.e., the selling of shorter-term Treasuries and the buying of longer-term Treasuries, that was due to expire in June but will now carry through to the end of 2012. The Fed continued to follow its dual mandate of both full employment and keeping inflation low in conducting monetary policy, and while the June unemployment rate of 8.2% was not close to a full employment level, inflation as measured by the Consumer Price Index fell to 1.7% year over year in May, compared to 3.8% in the year-earlier period. While “core” CPI rose to 2.3% from 1.5% over the same time period and would normally be seen as worrisome, the absolute level gives the Fed no obstacle in pursuing its current aggressive monetary policy.

The European sovereign debt crisis continued to be the focus of the market’s attention as Spanish government bond yields rose sharply because of Spanish bank bailouts and a resultant jump in Spanish borrowing needs— which the government would have difficulty financing as 10-year yields flirted with 7% as compared to the 5% area at the end of 2011. This yield surge spilled over somewhat into Italian bond yields and, given the government bond holdings of most of the major financial institutions in both Spain and Italy, created a negative feedback loop (i.e., the higher sovereign bond yields go the weaker the bank balance sheets become). While the near-term liquidity of large banks was addressed by the European Central Bank’s (ECB) long-term refinancing operations, which supplied cheap three-year funding, bank solvency ultimately would be questioned if Spain and/or Italy were to default. While the ECB could have resumed the purchase of Spanish and Italian debt in order to drive down yields, it preferred to keep pressure on sovereign countries to get their fiscal houses in order by waiting on the start of the European Stability Mechanism bailout fund, which could take on the role of sovereign bond buyer. Other ideas such as joint Eurobond issuance, while favored by nations under financial stress, were not welcomed by the few remaining “AAA” EU members like Germany and Finland, whose own credit ratings would undoubtedly face downward pressure should Eurobonds be issued. At the end of June, the EU agreed to restructure Spanish banks directly instead of lending funds to the Spanish government, thereby avoiding another situation as in Ireland whose bank recapitalization needs were so large that they destroyed the country’s borrowing ability. The Spanish bank plan is contingent on the establishment of a central bank regulatory board.

While U.S. Gross Domestic Product was growing at a rate of about 2%, which is not strong enough to substantially lower the unemployment rate, several indicators continued to show strength. Auto sales averaged an annualized 14.3 million units in 2012 as compared to 12.6 million in 2011’s first half, and the downtrodden housing market appeared to be bottoming as the National Association of Home Builders market index averaged 27 during the period after an average of 16 in 2011. The most recent reading of 29 was a five-year high. In spite of suspect employment prospects, consumer sentiment improved, according to the University of Michigan survey, which averaged 75.9, as

compared to 72.5 in the first half of 2011. Although wage growth has only averaged about 2% over the last year, consumer credit use (excluding real estate) exploded upwards, with an average monthly increase of $12.9 billion through the end of May, versus $6.4 billion over the same period in 2011. Even with the consumer doing their part, slower growth in China and Europe’s recession had their impact on manufacturing as the June ISM manufacturing survey dipped to 49.7, a contractionary level, after averaging 53.0 in the first half of 2012 and 55.2 for calendar year 2011. In spite of the weak ISM number, however, industrial production through May rose 1.4%, compared to just 0.6% over the same period in 2011.

The FOMC maintained its federal funds rate target in a range of 0.00% to 0.25%. At its January 25, 2012 meeting, the FOMC announced that economic conditions were likely to warrant exceptionally low levels for the federal funds rate at least through late 2014. The FOMC subsequently reaffirmed this pledge, and at its June 20, 2012 meeting pledged to take further action as appropriate to support the economy.

FUND PERFORMANCE
The Short-Term Government Securities Fund returned 0.65% for the first half of 2012 compared to the benchmark return of 0.40%. Relative outperformance was a result of narrowing credit spreads during the period, which had a spillover impact into government-guaranteed bonds other than U.S. Treasuries as investors sought investment vehicles with greater return potential. All of the Fund’s sectors contributed positively to performance, with no one sector strongly outperforming or underperforming the others.
 
The Short-Term Bond Fund returned 2.18% for the first half of 2012 compared to the benchmark return of 1.24%. Relative outperformance was a result of tighter credit spreads, particularly for financial issuers in both the domestic and Yankee space, as investors chased yield given the lack of attractive risk-free alternatives.  Mortgages were also strong relative performers for the period, while the asset-backed sector underperformed compared to the other sectors in the Fund.

OUTLOOK
The domestic economy likely will continue to grow at a modest pace given the Fed’s very easy monetary policy, the positive wealth effect from rising equity prices, positive, though sluggish, job growth, a turning residential real estate market and the recent decline in energy prices. While various economic headwinds exist, we believe that the Chinese economy is unlikely to slow sharply from here given recent renewed stimulus measures. It is also our opinion that European leaders are likely to do just enough to keep the Eurozone together and that Washington will reach a last-minute solution to avoid falling off the “fiscal cliff” in 2013.

Interest rates are extremely low and are likely to remain so for the foreseeable future, yet on any growth scare (e.g., economic data comes in stronger than forecast), yields could experience a short, sharp violent reaction upwards. Given the Federal Reserve’s anchoring of short-term rates at zero and investors’ voracious appetite for income, any back-up in rates is likely to be short-lived.

MARKET CONDITIONS
Following a highly volatile 2011, financial markets began the New Year with relative calm as the debt situation in Europe stabilized and global liquidity conditions returned to normal, due mainly to the European Central Bank’s long-term refinancing operations. U.S. economic indicators were positive, with particularly encouraging reports from the labor market, and the outlook for the global economy brightened. As the investment environment improved and corporate earnings continued to be strong, U.S. equities moved boldly higher through the first two months of 2012.

The rally softened in March when the tone of global news flow darkened. Investors reverted to “risk off” mode, and heightened volatility returned to the markets as Europe’s debt problems boiled over once again. Political instability in Greece caused anxiety about whether the country would continue its membership in the Eurozone. In Spain, political leaders faced severe deficit and policymaking issues, while the nation’s banks clamored for liquidity and yields on Spanish government debt rose to levels deemed unsustainable. Heavily-indebted Italy saw its borrowing costs rise amid mounting pressure across the region. Stock markets around the world saw increased volatility as investors reacted to news from Europe where leaders conferred and debated vehemently over the need for fiscal integration among the 17 Eurozone nations.

Alongside the drama in Europe, investors became discouraged by gloomy economic reports from various parts of the world. A slowdown in China, a key powerhouse for global growth, was of particular concern. Chinese manufacturing and exports suffered due to weakening demand from larger, developed countries such as those in Europe. Many European countries fell into recession. In the United States, disappointing jobs reports in the second quarter dealt a crushing blow to sentiment for the U.S. economy after the labor market had been a bright spot earlier in the year.
 
The resurgence of concerns about global growth and Europe’s debt problems drove equity prices down through April and May. In June, U.S. stocks began a modest rebound as European leaders ramped up their efforts to move toward fiscal unity and investors anticipated additional stimulus from central banks on both sides of the Atlantic.

INDEX AND FUND PERFORMANCE
For the six months ended June 30, 2012, the Stock Index Fund returned 9.12%, while the U.S. large-cap market metric and the Fund’s benchmark, the Standard & Poor’s (S&P) 500 Index, advanced 9.49%. The S&P 500 Index is a market capitalization-weighted index composed of 500 common stocks issued by primarily large-capitalization companies in a wide range of industries. The stocks included in the index collectively represent a substantial portion of all common stocks publicly traded in the United States.

The U.S. economy remained strong relative to other parts of the world, and year-to-date, U.S. stocks generally outperformed international equity markets, which experienced higher levels of volatility amid global uncertainty. Telecommunications Services (+16.51%) was the strongest-performing sector in the S&P 500 Index for the period. Financials (+13.72%) staged a rebound from their 2011 lows. Information Technology (+13.34%), Consumer Discretionary (+12.95%) and Health Care stocks (+10.97%) also performed particularly well. Energy (-2.34%) was the only sector to finish in negative territory as falling natural gas prices hurt returns.

During the six-month period, as changes were made to the composition of the S&P 500 Index, the S&P 500 Stock Master Portfolio, the master portfolio in which the Fund invests, purchased and sold securities to maintain its objective of replicating the risks and return of the benchmark index.

MARKET CONDITIONS
Major equity indexes increased through the end of March, then reversed course through the end of May. Markets recovered again to finish the first half up nearly 10% as measured by the S&P 500 Stock Index.

The year began with forecasts for an improving economy, and results initially exceeded expectations. Strong performance can be attributed to a number of factors, including the fact that a very mild winter in North America brought forward more economic activity earlier than would be the case in a more typical year. However, as the first half wore on, economic progress waned, and fears over Europe’s banking and debt troubles began to outweigh the economic progress of the first three months of 2012 in the eyes of some investors.

Elsewhere, commodity prices remained constrained with oil hovering at or below $90 per barrel. Inflation remained in abeyance, and expectations for low inflation continue for the immediate future. Businesses are still cautious about capital investment and hiring, as uncertainty about regulation and tax policy persists.

FUND PERFORMANCE
The Value Fund returned 6.48% for the first six months of 2012, and its benchmark index, the unmanaged S&P 500 Stock Index, increased 9.49%. Underperformance was due primarily to Information Technology sector holdings. The Fund’s positions in Hewlett Packard Company, Dell Inc. and Cisco Systems, Inc. had a detrimental effect on results for the first half. Outside Information Technology, sector results were in line with those of the benchmark. Dean Foods Company, Dillard’s Inc. and Abbott Laboratories all had better results than the overall index.

OUTLOOK
The outlook for the economy is one of tepid growth. Business remains cautious and appears to be prepared for a number of potential outcomes. Uncertainty persists in the areas of global economic growth, financial turbulence in Europe, China’s slowing economy and the November elections in the United States. This last issue will have important consequences for fiscal, tax and regulatory policy, both immediately after the election in a lame duck session and during the new Congress in January 2013.

The general consensus is for real U.S. Gross Domestic Product growth of 1.5% for the remainder of the year. Unfortunately, that rate of economic growth is slow enough that it feels like a recession. Corporate balance sheets remain liquid due to the hesitation of management to commit large amounts of capital on new expansion. Instead, some managers are opting to return capital to shareholders while awaiting greater clarity about the future. Commodity prices remain in check as economies around the globe have slowed. Housing in the United States has shown improvement, but it is likely to progress in fits and starts. Unemployment remains high and job growth anemic.

On the positive side, managements continue to make adjustments to their companies’ operations and strive to be more efficient and competitive. In this uncertain market environment, we continue to search for and find what we believe to be attractive investment opportunities for our investors.

PERFORMANCE EVALUATION
Growth Fund

MARKET CONDITIONS
U.S. stocks produced moderate gains in the first half of 2012, extending the rebound that started last October. Market volatility was high, driven by global economic uncertainty and European sovereign debt concerns. Stocks rose briskly in the first quarter amid optimism about U.S. economic growth, particularly employment trends. However, equities surrendered some of their gains in the second quarter as U.S. job growth moderated, the Chinese economy decelerated and the situation in the Eurozone deteriorated. The period ended with a European summit that resulted in policy announcements reflecting concrete steps toward greater European integration.

FUND PERFORMANCE
The Fund returned 11.37% for the past six months and outperformed its benchmark, the Russell 1000 Growth Index, which increased 10.08%. Sector allocation, notably overweight positions in Health Care and Information Technology, drove results versus the index. Stock selection was also beneficial, especially in the Consumer Discretionary, Health Care and Telecommunication Services sectors.

The Fund’s Consumer Discretionary stocks outpaced those in the benchmark, led by Priceline.com, Inc. and Amazon.com, Inc. Both companies were top absolute contributors. The share price of Priceline.com rose as booking travel online continues to increase. Amazon.com’s share price rose during the period after the company reported an improvement in revenue and repurchased $960 million of stock.

The Health Care sector outperformed, helped by stock selection and an overweight position. Edwards Lifesciences Corporation, a maker of products to treat cardiovascular disease, reported strong first-quarter earnings and received approval from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration to use its transcatheter heart valve in patients.

Stock selection in the Telecommunication Services sector also provided a boost to relative performance. Fund holding Crown Castle International Corp. and other wireless tower companies have benefited from demand for higher data capacity as consumers worldwide continue to adopt smartphones.

The Fund’s Information Technology stocks trailed those in the index. In particular, Juniper Networks, Inc., San- Disk Corporation and Google, Inc. hampered performance in the sector. Juniper Networks and other networking companies were impacted as macroeconomic concerns led businesses to reduce infrastructure spending. SanDisk, a manufacturer of flash memory used in smartphones, was hurt by oversupply in the market, which resulted in lower memory prices. Google saw advertising rates decline more than expected. In addition, the company continues to face antitrust battles, which may have concerned investors.

OUTLOOK
The market environment has changed dramatically in recent months. Although the U.S. economy continues to demonstrate slow, steady growth, developments in Europe have led to growing caution among investors. A softer Chinese economy and fiscal uncertainty in the U.S. have further dampened risk appetites.

Despite risks to the global economy, U.S. corporate fundamentals generally appear strong. Stock valuations look appealing once again following May’s sharp sell-off and June’s volatility. We believe our disciplined, bottom-up approach to investing, rather than attempting to gauge the impact of macroeconomic events on financial markets, will continue to serve our investors well in the coming months.

PERFORMANCE EVALUATION
Small-Company Stock Fund

MARKET CONDITIONS
Markets began 2012 much like the two previous years—with expectations for the economy to improve throughout the year. Small-capitalization indexes appreciated through mid-March before turning negative at the end of May. Subsequently, they turned upward again, finishing the first half of the year in positive territory.

FUND PERFORMANCE
The Fund returned 9.13% in the first half of 2012, while its benchmark, the Russell 2000 Index, increased 8.53%. Outperformance was helped by larger than index positions in Industrials, Consumer Discretionary, and Consumer Staples. Appreciation in the stock prices of Dean Foods Company, United Natural Foods, Inc. and The Manitowoc Company, Inc. contributed to the better than index results. Positions in ManTech International Corporation and Rofin-Sinar Technologies, Inc., along with SM Energy Company, Helmerich & Payne, Inc. and Cimarex Energy Co. detracted from returns during the period.

New names included Cass Information Systems, Inc., a provider of freight and utility invoice payment services; Dycom Industries, Inc., which provides engineering, construction and maintenance services to U.S.-based telecom providers; Matthews International Corporation, a designer and manufacturer of memorialization products; and UMB Financial Corporation, a multi-bank holding company covering the central Midwest in the United States.

OUTLOOK
As the second half of 2012 commences, the outlook for the economy remains mixed, echoing the previous two summers. Some U.S. indicators point toward improvement, while others show an economy still tepid, though probably not so weak as to slip into recession—for now.

Expectations that the second half of 2012 would show improvement are beginning to evaporate as businesses remain reluctant to hire or to commit capital in light of uncertainty and lack of clear direction in the economy, let alone unresolved regulatory, tax and fiscal policy.

This leaves out the impact of European debt problems and weakness in China and India, which further complicate matters. Underlying these impediments to global growth is too much financial leverage, which remains a concern.

In this environment, however, businesses are not idle in regards to their operations and are constantly tweaking their processes to improve their competitive positions and financial returns. As we continue to screen for these companies, we appreciate your trust and investment.

PERFORMANCE EVALUATION
International Value Fund

MARKET CONDITIONS
Following a strong start to the year, global equity markets declined in the latter part of the period. Volatility and correlations rose as risk aversion returned. Investors focused on the unrelenting European sovereign debt crisis and signs of slowing global growth. Much of the weakness occurred following the Greek elections and their subsequent inability to form a government, calling into question both the country’s commitment to stay in the Eurozone and concerns of potential contagion spreading to other countries. During the second half of the six-month period, value investors faced a hostile market environment. Defensive stocks that were more expensive on a relative basis outperformed, while attractively valued stocks underperformed, becoming even cheaper. Traditional value metrics such as low price/earnings and low price/book have been out of favor for an extended period of time.

FUND PERFORMANCE
For the six-month period ending June 30, 2012, the Fund returned 1.51% versus MSCI EAFE, which gained 2.96%.

Top contributors on a country basis were Hong Kong, the Netherlands and the United Kingdom, while the top detractors included Brazil, Portugal and Germany. On a sector basis, the top contributors were Materials, Energy and Information Technology, while Consumer Staples, Financials and Health Care detracted.

Best performing stocks for the period included New World Development Company Ltd. (Hong Kong/Financials), Nikon Corporation (Japan/Consumer Discretionary) and Aegon N.V. (Netherlands/Financials). Stocks that most detracted from performance included Banco Espirito Santo SA (Portugal/Financials), Rossi Residencial SA (Brazil/Consumer Discretionary) and Credit Suisse Group AG (Switzerland/Financials).

OUTLOOK
In Europe, policy response thus far has been insufficient to quell the debt crisis. Despite the hiccups, we remain steadfast in our belief that the Euro will remain intact. The cost of a breakup is much higher to all member countries than the cost to stay together. Ultimately, the solution is a political one with Germany as the linchpin. Developments late in the period indicated that Germany is willing to compromise and is committed to the Euro and the periphery. European markets are likely to remain volatile and highly sensitive to news flow, but with valuations approaching 30-year lows, we believe there is potential for significant gains for patient investors.

Stocks are especially cheap relative to bonds. In many countries, especially Germany and Switzerland, short-term bond yields are negative, meaning risk aversion is so high that some investors are willing to pay a premium to ensure safety of principal. Such an extreme is unlikely to persist, especially with dividend yields at two to three times comparable long-term interest rates. Corporate managers are beginning to take notice of this anomaly.

While Europe remains in the spotlight, other areas of the world bear watching. Large developing economies like China, India and Brazil, once relied on as key drivers of global economic growth, have decelerated in recent months. The three aforementioned nations are cutting interest rates aggressively to stimulate economic activity. The selloff seen in several of these markets may create opportunities for investment as we believe their growth rates will be superior to the developed world over the long term.

In the past 25 years, we have experienced our share of international crises. Each resulted in a brief period of underperformance followed by significant outperformance. Managing market volatility is challenging, and this volatility can be precipitated by unpredictable events. We believe during times like this that the best course of action is to adhere to a disciplined investment approach, focus on fundamentals and be positioned for an eventual recovery.

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

The example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at January 1, 2012 and held through June 30, 2012.

ACTUAL EXPENSES
The first line for each Fund in the table on the following page provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first line under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During the Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period. Although the Funds charge no sales loads or transaction fees, you will be charged a redemption fee equal to 2.00% of the net amount of the redemption (except for the Daily Income Fund, Short- Term Government Securities Fund, and Short-Term Bond Fund), if you redeem your shares or exchange your shares for shares of another Fund less than 30 calendar days after you purchase them.

Individual Retirement Arrangements (IRAs) and Educational Savings Accounts (ESAs) are charged a $15.00 annual custodial fee. The charge is automatically deducted from your account in the fourth quarter or, if you close your account, at the time of redemption. A fee is collected for each IRA or ESA account, as distinguished by account type (Traditional IRA, Roth IRA, or ESA) and Social Security Number. For example, if you have both a Traditional IRA and a Roth IRA account, each would be charged a fee. But only one fee would be collected for each account type, regardless of the number of Funds held by each account type. These fees are not included in the example below. If included, the costs shown would be higher.

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

Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs, such as the redemption fee charged on sales of shares held less than 30 days, or the custodial account fee. Therefore, the hypothetical information in the example is useful in comparing your ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

1. ORGANIZATION
Homestead Funds, Inc. (“Homestead Funds”) is a Maryland corporation registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (“the Act”), as an open-end management investment company. Homestead Funds currently consists of eight funds: Daily Income Fund, Short-Term Government Securities Fund, Short-Term Bond Fund, Stock Index Fund, Value Fund, Growth Fund, Small-Company Stock Fund, and International Value Fund (the “Funds”).

Each Fund is a separate investment portfolio with distinct investment objectives, investment programs, policies and restrictions. The investment objectives of the Funds, as well as the nature and risks of the investment activities of each Fund, are set forth more fully in Homestead Funds’ Prospectus and Statement of Additional Information.

The Stock Index Fund seeks to achieve its investment objective by investing substantially all of its investable asset in one or more securities that are designed to track the performance of the S&P 500 Index. At June 30, 2012, the Stock Index Fund was operating as a feeder fund, whereby substantially all of its assets are invested in the S&P 500 Stock Master Portfolio (“Master Portfolio”), an open-end investment company managed by BlackRock Fund Advisors. At June 30, 2012, the Stock Index Fund’s investment constituted 4.04% of the Master Portfolio. The financial statements of the Master Portfolio are contained in the Appendix of this report and should be read in conjunction with the financial statements for the Stock Index Fund.

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Security valuation:  The Funds investments are valued as of the close of the New York Stock Exchange (usually 4:00 pm). Equity securities and exchange traded funds are valued at the closing price from the primary market in which the security trades. Fixed income securities are valued using the bid price provided by external pricing services. Short-term debt instruments held by the Daily Income Fund and commercial paper held by all Funds are valued at amortized cost, which approximates market value. Under the amortized cost method, discounts and premiums on securities purchased are amortized over the life of the respective securities. Registered investment companies are valued at the net asset value determined by the registered investment company after the close of the New York Stock Exchange on valuation date. The Stock Index Fund records its investment in the Master Portfolio at the market value of its proportionate interest in the net assets of the Master Portfolio.

Various inputs may be used to determine the value of the Funds’ investments. In conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, the inputs used to determine valuations are classified into three broad levels as follows:

·  
Level 1—quoted prices in active markets for identical investments;
·  
Level 2—other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar investments, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.); and
·  
Level 3—significant unobservable inputs (including the Fund’s own assumptions).

The Funds normally obtain prices for equities and fixed income securities from pricing services. Equity securities that trade on a major exchange are categorized as Level 1 in the hierarchy. In determining prices for fixed income securities, the pricing services employ methodologies designed to identify the market value of debt instruments, which may include reference to actual market transactions, broker-dealer supplied quotations or valuations, matrix pricing, or other valuation techniques. These techniques generally consider such factors as prices, yields, maturities, call features, ratings and developments relating to specific securities in arriving at valuations and are generally categorized as Level 2 in the hierarchy. In the event a pricing service is unable to provide a price for a particular security, the security is priced at fair value as determined in good faith in accordance with policies approved by the Board of Directors and are generally categorized as Level 2 or Level 3 in the hierarchy depending on the observability of market inputs. The International Value Fund, utilizes a pricing service to fair value foreign equity securities based on the impact of market events between the close of foreign markets and the time the net asset value is calculated. These securities are categorized as Level 2 in the hierarchy. Investments in commercial paper are valued at amortized cost and are categorized as Level 2 in the hierarchy. The Funds invest in regulated investment companies that seek to maintain a share price of $1.00 and are categorized as Level 1 in the hierarchy. The Stock Index Fund invests all of its assets in the Master Portfolio. The Board of Trustees of the Master Portfolio has adopted valuation policies and procedures. The policies and procedure are discussed in the notes to the Master Portfolio’s financial statements, included in the Appendix of this report. Additionally, the level classifications of the Master Portfolio as of June 30, 2012 are included in the Appendix.

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

Since January 1, 2012 there have not been any transfers between Levels 1 and 2 or between Levels 2 and 3.

Foreign currency: The International Value Fund may use foreign currency contracts to facilitate transactions in foreign-denominated securities. Losses from these transactions may arise from changes in the value of the foreign currency or if the counterparties do not perform under the contract’s terms. Foreign-denominated assets, including investment securities, and liabilities are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rate at the end of the period. Purchases and sales of investment securities and income and dividends received are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rate in effect on the transaction date. Currency gains and losses and the effects of exchange rate fluctuations on investments are included with the realized and unrealized gain (loss) on investment securities.

Distributions to shareholders: Dividends to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Income dividends for the Daily Income, Short-Term Government Securities and Short-Term Bond Funds are declared daily and paid monthly. Income dividends for Value Fund are declared and paid semi-annually. Income dividends for the Stock Index, Growth, Small-Company Stock, and International Value Funds are declared and paid annually. Capital gains dividends, if any, are declared and paid at the end of each fiscal year, or more frequently, if necessary.

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

Other: Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date. Interest income, including amortization of premiums and accretion of discount, and expenses are recorded on the accrual basis. Investment transactions are recorded as of the trade date. Realized gains and losses from investment transactions are reported on the identified cost basis.

The Stock Index Fund records a pro rata share of the Master Portfolio’s income, expenses, and realized and unrealized gains and losses in addition to the Fund’s own expenses which are accrued daily.

In the normal course of business, the Funds enter into contracts that provide general indemnifications. The Funds’ maximum exposure under these arrangements is dependent on claims that may be made against the Funds in the future and therefore cannot be estimated; however, based on experience, the risk of material loss from claims is considered remote.

Management considered events occurring between the date of this report, June 30, 2012, and the date of issuance of this report in determining adjustments to the financial statement or necessary disclosures in this report.

3. FEDERAL INCOME TAX INFORMATION
The Funds intend to comply with the provisions of the Internal Revenue Code applicable to regulated investment companies and will distribute all net investment income to its shareholders. Therefore, no provision for Federal income taxes is required.

Each Fund files U.S. federal, state, and local tax returns as required. Each Fund’s tax returns are subject to examination by the relevant tax authorities until expiration of the applicable statute of limitations, which is generally three years after filing of the tax return but could be longer in certain circumstances.

Income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations, which may differ from accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These differences are primarily due to differing treatments for futures and options transactions, foreign currency transactions, losses deferred due to wash sales, losses deferred due to post-October losses, partnership investments, deferred compensation payable and REIT transactions.

Permanent book and tax basis differences, relating to shareholder distributions will result in reclassifications to paid-in capital.

At June 30, 2012, the cost of securities for federal income tax purposes, the aggregate gross unrealized gain for all securities for which there was an excess of value over tax cost and the aggregate gross unrealized loss for all securities for which there was an excess of tax cost over value was as follows:
 
   
Tax Cost
   
Tax Unrealized Gain

The Subadvisors select, buy, and sell securities under the supervision of RE Advisers and the Board of Directors. RE Advisers pays the Subadvisors from the fees it receives from the Funds.

With respect to the Stock Index Fund, an Administrative Service Agreement with RE Advisers has been contracted, under which RE Advisers provides certain administrative services to the Fund. Pursuant to this agreement, RE Advisers receives a fee of 0.25% of the Fund’s average daily net assets.

PORTFOLIO OF INVESTMENTS: S&P 500 Stock Master Portfolio (continued)
June 30, 2012 (Unaudited)

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

·  
Level 1 – unadjusted price quotations in active markets/exchanges for identical assets and liabilities

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

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

Changes in valuation techniques may result in transfers into or out of an assigned level within the disclosure hierarchy. In accordance with the Master Portfolio’s policy, transfers between different levels of the fair value disclosure hierarchy are deemed to have occurred as of the beginning of the reporting period. The categorization of a value determined for investments and derivative financial instruments is based on the pricing transparency of the investment and derivative financial instrument and is not necessarily an indication of the risks associated with investing in those securities. For information about the Master Portfolio’s policy regarding valuation of investments and derivative financial instruments and other significant accounting policies, please refer to Note 1 of the Notes to Financial Statements.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS: S&P 500 Stock Master Portfolio

1. ORGANIZATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
S&P 500 Stock Master Portfolio (the “Master Portfolio”), a series of Master Investment Portfolio (“MIP”), is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), as a diversified, open-end management investment company. MIP is organized as a Delaware statutory trust. The Master Portfolio’s financial statements are prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“US GAAP”), which may require management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts and disclosures in the financial statements.  Actual results may differ from those estimates.

Reorganization: On May 16, 2012, the Board of Trustees of MIP (“the Board”) approved a plan of reorganization whereby the Master Portfolio will acquire substantially all of the assets and assume certain stated liabilities of Master S&P 500 Index Series, a series of Quantitative Master Series LLC (the “Target Master Portfolio”). The reorganization is subject to shareholder approval by the shareholders of the feeder funds that invest their assets in the Target Master Portfolio and certain other conditions. If approved, the reorganization is expected to close in the fourth quarter of 2012.

The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by the Master Portfolio:

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

Equity investments traded on a recognized securities exchange or the NASDAQ Global Market System (“NASDAQ”) are valued at the last reported sale price that day or the NASDAQ official closing price, if applicable. For equity investments traded on more than one exchange, the last reported sale price on the exchange where the stock is primarily traded is used. Equity investments traded on a recognized exchange for which there were no sales on that day are valued at the last available bid (long positions) or ask (short positions) price. If no bid or ask price is available, the prior day’s price will be used, unless it is determined that such prior day’s price no longer reflects the fair value of the security. Financial futures contracts traded on exchanges are valued at their last sale price. Investments in open-end registered investment companies are valued at net asset value each business day. Short-term securities with remaining maturities of 60 days or less may be valued at amortized cost, which approximates fair value.

In the event that application of these methods of valuation results in a price for an investment which is deemed not to be representative of the market value of such investment or if a price is not available, the investment will be valued by the Global Valuation Committee, or its delegate, in accordance with a policy approved by the Board as reflecting fair value (“Fair Value Assets”). When determining the price for Fair Value Assets, the Global Valuation Committee, or its delegate, seeks to determine the price that the Master Portfolio might reasonably expect to receive from the current sale of that asset in an arm’s-length transaction. Fair value determinations shall be based upon all available factors that the investment advisor deems relevant. These factors include but are not limited to (i) attributes specific to the investment or asset; (ii) the principal market for the investment or asset; (iii) the customary participants in the principal market for the investment or asset; (iv) data assumptions by market participants for the investment or asset, if reasonably available; (v) quoted prices for similar investments or assets in active markets; and (vi) other factors, such as future cash flows, interest rates, yield curves, volatilities, prepayment speeds, loss severities, credit risks and/or default rates. The Global Valuation Committee, or its delegate, employs various methods for calibrating valuation approaches, including regular due diligence of the Master Portfolio’s pricing vendors, a regular review of key inputs and assumptions, transactional back-testing or disposition analysis to compare unrealized gains and losses to realized gains and losses, reviews of missing or stale prices and large movements in market values and reviews of any market related activity. The pricing of all Fair Value Assets is subsequently reported to the Board or a committee thereof on a quarterly basis.

Preferred Stock: The Master Portfolio may invest in preferred stocks. Preferred stock has a preference over common stock in liquidation (and generally in receiving dividends as well) but is subordinated to the liabilities of the issuer in all respects. As a general rule, the market value of preferred stock with a fixed dividend rate and no conversion element varies inversely with interest rates and perceived credit risk, while the market price of convertible preferred stock generally also reflects some element of conversion value. Because preferred stock is junior to debt securities and other obligations of the issuer, deterioration in the credit quality of the issuer will cause greater changes in the value of a preferred stock than in a more senior debt security with similar stated yield characteristics. Unlike interest payments on debt securities, preferred stock dividends are payable only if declared by the issuer’s board of directors. Preferred stock also may be subject to optional or mandatory redemption provisions.

Segregation and Collateralization: In cases in which the 1940 Act and the interpretive positions of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) require that the Master Portfolio either deliver collateral or segregate assets in connection with certain investments (e.g., financial futures contracts), the Master Portfolio will, consistent with SEC rules and/or certain interpretive letters issued by the SEC, segregate collateral or designate on its books and records cash or liquid securities having a market value at least equal to the amount that would otherwise be required to be physically segregated. Furthermore, based on requirements and agreements with certain exchanges and third party broker-dealers, each party to such transactions has requirements to deliver/deposit securities as collateral for certain investments.
 
Investment Transactions and Investment Income: For financial reporting purposes, investment transactions are recorded on the dates the transactions are entered into (the trade dates). Realized gains and losses on investment transactions are determined on the identified cost basis. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend dates. Dividends from foreign securities where the ex-dividend date may have passed are subsequently recorded when the Master Portfolio is informed of the ex-dividend date. Under the applicable foreign tax laws, a withholding tax at various rates may be imposed on capital gains, dividends and interest. Upon notification from issuers, some of the dividend income

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS: S&P 500 Stock Master Portfolio (continued)
 
received from a real estate investment trust may be redesignated as a reduction of cost of the related investment and/or realized gain.
 
Redemptions-In-Kind: The Master Portfolio transferred securities and cash to shareholders in connection with a redemption-in-kind transaction. For purposes of US GAAP, these transactions were treated as a sale of securities and the resulting gains and losses were recognized based on the market value of the securities on the date of the transfer. For tax purposes, no gains or losses were recognized. Gains and losses resulting from such redemptions-in-kind are shown as redemption-in-kind transactions in the Statement of Operations.

Securities Lending: The Master Portfolio may lend securities to approved borrowers, such as banks, brokers, and other financial institutions. The borrower pledges cash, securities issued or guaranteed by the US government or irrevocable letters of credit issued by a bank as collateral, which will be maintained at all times in an amount equal to at least 100% of the current market value of the loaned securities. The market value of the loaned securities is determined at the close of business of the Master Portfolio and any additional required collateral is delivered to the Master Portfolio on the next business day. Securities lending income, as disclosed in the Statement 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 the securities lending agent. During the term of the loan, the Master Portfolio earns dividend or interest income on the securities loaned but does not receive interest income on the securities received as collateral. Loans of securities are terminable at any time and the borrower, after notice, is required to return borrowed securities within the standard time period for settlement of securities transactions. In the event that the borrower defaults on its obligation to return borrowed securities because of insolvency or for any other reason, the Master Portfolio could experience delays and costs in gaining access to the collateral. The Master Portfolio also could suffer a loss if the value of an investment purchased with cash collateral falls below the market value of loaned securities or if the value of an investment purchased with cash collateral falls below the value of the original cash collateral received. During the six months ended June 30, 2012, any securities on loan were collateralized by cash.

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

The Master Portfolio files US federal and various state and local tax returns. No income tax returns are currently under examination. The statute of limitations on the Master Portfolio’s US federal tax returns remains open for each of the four years ended December 31, 2011. The statutes of limitations on the Master Portfolio’s state and local tax returns may remain open for an additional year depending upon the jurisdiction. Management does not believe there are any uncertain tax positions that require recognition of a tax liability.

Recent Accounting Standard: In December 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued guidance that will expand current disclosure requirements on the offsetting of certain assets and liabilities. The new disclosures will be required for investments and derivative financials instruments subject to master netting or similar agreements which are eligible for offset in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities and will require an entity to disclose both gross and net information about such investments and transactions in the financial statements. The guidance is effective for financial statements with fiscal years beginning on or after January 1, 2013, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Management is evaluating the impact of this guidance on the Master Portfolio’s financial statement disclosures.

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

2. DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
The Master Portfolio engages in various portfolio investment strategies using derivative contracts both to increase the return of the Master Portfolio and/or to economically hedge, or protect, its exposure to certain risks such as equity risk. These contracts may be transacted on an exchange.

Losses may arise if the value of the contract decreases due to an unfavorable change in the market rates or values of the underlying instrument or if the counterparty does not perform under the contract. Counterparty risk related to exchange-traded financial futures contracts is deemed to be minimal due to the protection against defaults provided by the exchange on which these contracts trade.

Financial Futures Contracts: The Master Portfolio purchases or sells financial futures contracts to gain exposure to, or economically hedge against, changes in the value of equity securities (equity risk). Financial futures contracts are agreements between the Master Portfolio and counterparty to buy or sell a specific quantity of an underlying instrument at a specified price and at a specified date. Depending on the terms of the particular contract, financial futures contracts are settled either through physical delivery of the underlying instrument on the settlement date or by payment of a cash settlement amount on the settlement date. Pursuant to the contract, a Master Portfolio agrees to receive from or pay to the broker an amount of cash equal to the daily fluctuation in value of the contract. Such receipts or payments are known as variation margin and are recorded by the Master Portfolio as unrealized appreciation or depreciation. When the contract is closed, the Master Portfolio records a realized gain or loss equal to the difference between the value of the contract at the time it was opened and the value at the time it was closed. The use of financial futures contracts involves the risk of an imperfect correlation in the movements in the price of financial futures contracts, interest rates and the underlying assets.

3. INVESTMENT ADVISORY AGREEMENT AND OTHER TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES

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

MIP, on behalf of the Master Portfolio, entered into an Investment Advisory Agreement (the “Investment Advisory Agreement”) with BlackRock Fund Advisors (“BFA”), the Master Portfolio’s investment advisor, an indirect, wholly owned subsidiary of BlackRock, to provide investment advisory services. Pursuant to the Investment Advisory Agreement with MIP, BFA is responsible for the management of the Master Portfolio’s investments and provides the necessary personnel, facilities, equipment and certain other services necessary to the operations of the Master Portfolio. For such services, the Master Portfolio pays BFA a monthly fee based on a percentage of the Master Portfolio’s average daily net assets at an annual rate of 0.05%.

The fees and expenses of the MIP’s 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 (together, the “independent expenses”) are paid directly by the Master Portfolio. BFA has contractually agreed to cap the expenses of the Master Portfolio at the rate at which the Master Portfolio pays an advisory fee to BFA by providing an offsetting credit against the investment advisory fees paid by the Master Portfolio in an amount equal to the independent expenses. The contractual waiver is effective through April 30, 2013. The amount of the waiver, if any, is shown as fees waived in the Statement of Operations.

MIP entered into an administration services arrangement with BlackRock Institutional Trust Company, N.A. (“BTC”,) which has agreed to provide general administration services (other than investment advice and related portfolio activities). BTC may delegate certain of its administration duties to sub-administrators. BTC, in consideration thereof, has agreed to bear all of the Master Portfolio’s and MIP’s ordinary operating expenses excluding, generally, investment advisory fees, distribution fees, brokerage and other expenses related to the execution of portfolio transactions, extraordinary expenses and certain other expenses which are borne by the Master Portfolio.

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

The Master Portfolio received an exemptive order from the SEC permitting it, among other things, to pay an affiliated securities lending agent a fee based on a share of the income derived from the securities lending activities and has retained BTC, as the securities lending agent. BTC may, on behalf of the Master Portfolio, invest cash collateral received by the Master Portfolio for such loans, among other things, in a private investment company managed by BTC or in registered money market funds advised by BTC or its affiliates. As securities lending agent, BTC is responsible for all transaction fees and all other operational costs relating to securities lending activities, other than extraordinary expenses. BTC does not receive any fees for managing the cash collateral. The market value of securities on loan and the value of the related collateral, if applicable, are shown in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities as securities loaned at value and collateral on securities loaned at value, respectively. The cash collateral invested by BTC is disclosed in the Schedule of Investments, if any. Securities lending income is equal to the total of income earned from the reinvestment of cash collateral, net of rebates paid to, or fees paid by, borrowers of securities. The Master Portfolio retains 65% of securities lending income and pays a fee to BTC equal to 35% of such income. The share of income earned by the Master Portfolio is shown as securities lending—affiliated in the Statement of Operations. For the six months ended June 30, 2012, BTC received $131,272 in securities lending agent fees related to securities lending activities for the Master Portfolio.

Certain officers and/or trustees of MIP are officers and/or directors of BlackRock or its affiliates.

4. INVESTMENTS
Purchases and sales of investments excluding short-term securities for the period ended June 30, 2012, were $149,080,035 and $191,576,288, respectively.

5. BORROWINGS
The Master Portfolio, along with certain other funds managed by the Manager and its affiliates, is a party to a $500 million credit agreement with a group of lenders. The Master Portfolio may borrow under the credit agreement to fund shareholder redemptions. Effective November 2011 to November 2012, the credit agreement has the following terms: a commitment fee of 0.065% per annum based on the Master Portfolio’s pro rata share of the unused portion of the credit agreement and interest at a rate equal to the higher of (a) the one-month LIBOR plus 0.80% per annum or (b) the Fed Funds rate plus 0.80% per annum on amounts borrowed. In addition, paid administration and arrangement fees were allocated to the Master Portfolio based on its net assets as of October 31, 2011. The Master Portfolio’s commitment, administration and arrangement fees were paid by the investment advisor. The Master Portfolio did not borrow under the credit agreement during the six months ended June 30, 2012.

6. MARKET AND CREDIT RISK
In the normal course of business, the Master Portfolio invests in securities and enters into transactions where risks exist due to fluctuations in the market (market risk) or failure of the issuer of a security to meet all of its obligations (issuer credit risk). The value of securities held by the Master Portfolio may decline in response to

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS: S&P 500 Stock Master Portfolio (continued)

certain events, including those directly involving the issuers whose securities are owned by the Master Portfolio; conditions affecting the general economy; overall market changes; local, regional or global political, social or economic instability; and currency and interest rate and price fluctuations. Similar to issuer credit risk, the Master Portfolio may be exposed to counterparty credit risk, or the risk that an entity with which the Master Portfolio has unsettled or open transactions may fail to or be unable to perform on its commitments. The Master Portfolio manages counterparty credit risk by entering into transactions only with counterparties that it believes have the financial resources to honor their obligations and by monitoring the financial stability of those counterparties. Financial assets, which potentially expose the Master Portfolio to market, issuer and counterparty credit risks, consist principally of financial instruments and receivables due from counterparties. The extent of the Master Portfolio’s exposure to market, issuer and counterparty credit risks with respect to these financial assets is generally approximated by their value recorded in the Master Portfolio’s Statement of Assets and Liabilities, less any collateral held by the Master Portfolio.

7. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
Management has evaluated the impact of all subsequent events on the Master Portfolio through the date the financial statements were issued and has determined that there were no subsequent events requiring adjustment or additional disclosure in the financial statements.

Disclosure of Investment Advisory Agreement

The Board of Trustees (the “Board”, and members of which are referred to as “Board Members”) of Master Investment Portfolio (the “Master Fund”) met on April 17, 2012 and May 15-16, 2012 to consider the approval of the Master Fund’s investment advisory agreement (the “Agreement”) with BlackRock Fund Advisors (“BlackRock”), the Master Fund’s investment advisor, on behalf of S&P 500 Stock Master Portfolio (the “Master Portfolio”), a series of the Master Fund.

Activities and Composition of the Board: The Board consists of fourteen individuals, twelve of whom are not “interested persons” of the Master Fund as defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”) (the “Independent Board Members”). The Board Members are responsible for the oversight of the operations of the Master Fund, and perform the various duties imposed on the directors of investment companies by the 1940 Act. The Independent Board Members have retained independent legal counsel to assist them in connection with their duties. The Co-Chairs of the Board are each Independent Board Members. The Board has established five standing committees: an Audit Committee, a Governance and Nominating Committee, a Compliance Committee, a Performance Oversight and Contract Committee and an Executive Committee, each of which is chaired by an Independent Board Member and composed of Independent Board Members (except for the Executive Committee, which also has one interested Board Member).

The Agreement: Pursuant to the 1940 Act, the Board is required to consider the continuation of the Agreement on an annual basis. The Board has four quarterly meetings per year, each extending over two days, and a fifth meeting to consider specific information surrounding the consideration of renewing the Agreement. In connection with this process, the Board assessed, among other things, the nature, scope and quality of the services provided to the Master Portfolio by BlackRock, its personnel and its affiliates, including investment management, administrative and shareholder services, oversight of fund accounting and custody, marketing services, risk oversight, compliance and assistance in meeting applicable legal and regulatory requirements.

The Board, acting directly and through its committees, considers at each of its meetings, and from time to time as appropriate, factors that are relevant to its annual consideration of the renewal of the Agreement, including the services and support provided by BlackRock to the Master Portfolio and its shareholders. Among the matters the Board considered were: (a) investment performance of an affiliated feeder fund that invests all of its investable assets in the Master Portfolio (the “representative feeder fund”) for one-, three- and fiveyear periods, as applicable, against peer funds, and applicable benchmarks, if any, as well as senior management’s and portfolio managers’ analysis of the reasons for any over performance or underperformance against its peers and/or benchmark, as applicable; (b) fees, including advisory, administration, if applicable, and other amounts paid to BlackRock and its affiliates by the Master Portfolio for services, such as marketing and distribution, call center and fund accounting; (c) Master Portfolio operating expenses and how BlackRock allocates expenses to the Master Portfolio; (d) the resources devoted to, risk oversight of, and compliance reports relating to, implementation of the Master Portfolio’s investment objective, policies and restrictions; (e) the Master Fund’s compliance with its Code of Ethics and other compliance policies and procedures; (f) the nature, cost and character of non-investment management services provided by BlackRock and its affiliates; (g) BlackRock’s and other service providers’ internal controls and risk and compliance oversight mechanisms; (h) BlackRock’s implementation of the proxy voting policies approved by the Board; (i) the use of brokerage commissions and execution quality of portfolio transactions; (j) BlackRock’s implementation of the Master Fund’s valuation and liquidity procedures; (k) an analysis of management fees for products with similar investment objectives across the open-end fund, exchange traded fund (“ETF”), closed-end fund and institutional account product channels, as applicable; (l) BlackRock’s compensation methodology for its investment professionals and the incentives it creates; and (m) periodic updates on BlackRock’s business.

The Board has engaged in an ongoing strategic review with BlackRock of opportunities to consolidate funds and of BlackRock’s commitment to investment performance. In addition, the Board requested, to the extent reasonably possible, an analysis of the risk and return relative to selected funds in peer groups. BlackRock provides information to the Board in response to specific questions. These questions covered issues such as profitability, investment performance and management fee levels. The Board considered the importance of: (i) managing fixed income assets with a view toward preservation of capital; (ii) portfolio managers’ investments in the funds they manage; (iii) BlackRock’s controls surrounding the coding of quantitative investment models; and (iv) BlackRock’s oversight of relationships with third party service providers.

BOARD CONSIDERATIONS IN APPROVING THE AGREEMENT
The Approval Process: Prior to the April 17, 2012 meeting, the Board requested and received materials specifically relating to the Agreement. The Board is engaged in a process with its independent legal counsel and BlackRock to review periodically the nature and scope of the information provided to better assist its deliberations. The materials provided in connection with the April meeting included (a) information independently compiled and prepared by Lipper, Inc. (“Lipper”) on fees and expenses of the Master Portfolio and the representative feeder fund, as applicable, and the investment performance of the representative feeder fund as compared with a peer group of funds as determined by Lipper (collectively, “Peers”), as well as the gross investment performance of the representative feeder fund as compared with its benchmark; (b) information on the profitability of the Agreement to BlackRock and a discussion of fall-out benefits to BlackRock and its affiliates; (c) a general analysis provided by BlackRock concerning investment management fees (a combination of the advisory fee and the administration fee, if any) charged to other clients, such as institutional clients, ETFs and closed-end funds, under similar investment mandates, as well as the performance of such other clients, as applicable; (d) the existence, impact and sharing of economies of scale; (e) a summary of aggregate amounts paid by the Master Portfolio to BlackRock; and (f) if applicable, a comparison of management fees to similar BlackRock open-end funds, as classified by Lipper.

At an in-person meeting held on April 17, 2012, the Board reviewed materials relating to its consideration of the Agreement. As a result of the discussions that occurred during the April 17, 2012 meeting, and as a culmination of the Board’s year-long deliberative process, the Board presented BlackRock with questions and requests for additional

Disclosure of Investment Advisory Agreement (continued)

information. BlackRock responded to these requests with additional written information in advance of the May 15-16, 2012 Board meeting.

At an in-person meeting held on May 15-16, 2012, the Board of the Master Fund, including all the Independent Board Members, unanimously approved the continuation of the Agreement between the Manager and the Master Fund with respect to the Master Portfolio for a one-year term ending June 30, 2013. In approving the continuation of the Agreement, the Board of the Master Fund considered: (a) the nature, extent and quality of the services provided by BlackRock; (b) the investment performance of the Master Portfolio and BlackRock; (c) the advisory fee and the cost of the services and profits to be realized by BlackRock and its affiliates from their relationship with the Master Portfolio; (d) economies of scale; (e) fall-out benefits to BlackRock as a result of its relationship with the Master Portfolio and the Portfolio; and (f) other factors deemed relevant by the Board Members.

The Board also considered other matters it deemed important to the approval process, such as payments made to BlackRock or its affiliates relating to securities lending, services related to the valuation and pricing of portfolio holdings of the Master Portfolio, direct and indirect benefits to BlackRock and its affiliates from their relationship with the Master Portfolio and advice from independent legal counsel with respect to the review process and materials submitted for the Board’s review. The Board noted the willingness of BlackRock personnel to engage in open, candid discussions with the Board. The Board did not identify any particular information as controlling, and each Board Member may have attributed different weights to the various items considered.
 
A. Nature, Extent and Quality of the Services Provided by BlackRock: The Board, including the Independent Board Members, reviewed the nature, extent and quality of services provided by BlackRock, including the investment advisory services and the resulting performance of the Master Portfolio. Throughout the year, the Board compared the representative feeder fund’s performance to the performance of a comparable group of mutual funds and/or the performance of a relevant benchmark, if any. The Board met with BlackRock’s senior management personnel responsible for investment operations, including the senior investment officers. The Board also reviewed the materials provided by the portfolio management team discussing the performance of the representative feeder fund and the Master Portfolio’s investment objective, strategies and outlook.
 
The Board considered, among other factors, the number, education and experience of BlackRock’s investment personnel generally and the Master Portfolio’s portfolio management team, investments by portfolio managers in the funds they manage, BlackRock’s portfolio trading capabilities, BlackRock’s use of technology, BlackRock’s commitment to compliance, BlackRock’s credit analysis capabilities, BlackRock’s risk analysis and oversight capabilities and BlackRock’s approach to training and retaining portfolio managers and other research, advisory and management personnel. The Board engaged in a review of BlackRock’s compensation structure with respect to the Master Portfolio’s portfolio management team and BlackRock’s ability to attract and retain high-quality talent and create performance incentives.
 
In addition to advisory services, the Board considered the quality of the administrative and non-investment advisory services provided to the Master Portfolio. BlackRock and its affiliates provide the Master Portfolio with certain administrative, shareholder and other services (in addition to any such services provided to the Master Portfolio by third parties) and officers and other personnel as are necessary for the operations of the Master Portfolio. In particular, BlackRock and its affiliates provide the Master Portfolio with the following administrative services, including, among others: (i) preparing disclosure documents, such as the prospectus, the statement of additional information and periodic shareholder reports; (ii) assisting with daily accounting and pricing; (iii) overseeing and coordinating the activities of other service providers; (iv) organizing Board meetings and preparing the materials for such Board meetings; (v) providing legal and compliance support; and (vi) performing other administrative functions necessary for the operation of the Master Portfolio, such as tax reporting, fulfilling regulatory filing requirements and call center services. The Board reviewed the structure and duties of BlackRock’s fund administration, accounting, legal and compliance departments and considered BlackRock’s policies and procedures for assuring compliance with applicable laws and regulations.
 
B. The Investment Performance of the Master Portfolio and BlackRock: The Board, including the Independent Board Members, also reviewed and considered the performance history of the Master Portfolio. The Board noted that the Master Portfolio’s investment results correspond directly to the investment results of the representative feeder fund. In preparation for the April 17, 2012 meeting, the Board worked with its independent counsel, BlackRock and Lipper to develop a template for, and was provided with, reports independently prepared by Lipper, which included a comprehensive analysis of the representative feeder fund’s performance. The Board also reviewed a narrative and statistical analysis of the Lipper data that was prepared by BlackRock, which analyzed various factors that affect Lipper’s rankings. In connection with its review, the Board received and reviewed information regarding the investment performance of the representative feeder fund as compared to funds in the representative feeder fund’s applicable Lipper category and the gross investment performance of the representative feeder fund as compared with its benchmark. The Board was provided with a description of the methodology used by Lipper to select peer funds and periodically meets with Lipper representatives to review their methodology. The Board and the Board’s Performance Oversight and Contract Committee regularly review, and meet with Master Portfolio management to discuss, the performance of the Master Portfolio and the representative feeder fund, as applicable, throughout the year.
 
The Board noted that the representative feeder fund’s gross performance, as agreed upon by the Board, was within tolerance of its benchmark index during the one-year period reported. Also, the representative feeder fund’s gross performance exceeded its benchmark index during the three- and five-year periods reported. Based on its discussions with BlackRock and the Board’s review of the representative feeder fund’s investment performance compared to its Lipper Peer Group, the methodology used by Lipper to select peer funds, and other relevant information provided by BlackRock, the Board noted that the representative feeder fund’s gross investment performance as compared to its benchmark index provided a more meaningful comparison of the Portfolio’s relative performance.
 
C. Consideration of the Advisory/Management Fees and the Cost of the Services and Profits to be Realized by BlackRock and its Affiliates from their Relationship with the Master Portfolio: The Board, including

Appendix | 79


 
 

 

Disclosure of Investment Advisory Agreement (continued)

the Independent Board Members, reviewed the Master Portfolio’s contractual advisory fee rate compared with the other funds in the representative feeder fund’s Lipper category. It also compared the representative feeder fund’s total expense ratio, as well as the Master Portfolio’s actual advisory fee rate, to those of other funds in the representative feeder fund’s Lipper category. The Board considered the services provided and the fees charged by BlackRock to other types of clients with similar investment mandates, including separately managed institutional accounts.

The Board received and reviewed statements relating to BlackRock’s financial condition and profitability with respect to the services it provided the Master Portfolio. The Board was also provided with a profitability analysis that detailed the revenues earned and the expenses incurred by BlackRock for services provided to the Master Portfolio. The Board reviewed BlackRock’s profitability with respect to the Master Portfolio, and other funds the Board currently oversees for the year ended December 31, 2011 compared to available aggregate profitability data provided for the years ended December 31, 2010 and December 31, 2009. The Board reviewed BlackRock’s profitability with respect to other fund complexes managed by BlackRock and/or its affiliates. The Board reviewed BlackRock’s assumptions and methodology of allocating expenses in the profitability analysis, noting the inherent limitations in allocating costs among various advisory products. The Board recognized that profitability may be affected by numerous factors including, among other things, fee waivers and expense reimbursements by the Manager, the types of funds managed, expense allocations and business mix, and the difficulty of comparing profitability as a result of those factors.

The Board noted that, in general, individual fund or product line profitability of other advisors is not publicly available. The Board considered BlackRock’s operating margin, in general, compared to the operating margin for leading investment management firms whose operations include advising open-end funds, among other product types. In addition, the Board considered, among other things, certain third party data comparing BlackRock’s operating margin with that of other publicly-traded asset management firms. The Board considered the differences between BlackRock and these other firms, including the contribution of technology at BlackRock, BlackRock’s expense management and the relative product mix.

In addition, the Board considered the cost of the services provided to the Master Portfolio by BlackRock, and BlackRock’s and its affiliates’ profits relating to the management and distribution of the Master Portfolio and the other funds advised by BlackRock and its affiliates. As part of its analysis, the Board reviewed BlackRock’s methodology in allocating its costs to the management of the Master Portfolio. The Board also considered whether BlackRock has the financial resources necessary to attract and retain high quality investment management personnel to perform its obligations under the Agreement and to continue to provide the high quality of services that is expected by the Board.
 
The Board noted that the Master Portfolio’s contractual advisory fee ratio was lower than or equal to the median contractual advisory fee ratio paid by the representative feeder fund’s Peers, in each case before taking into account any expense reimbursements or fee waivers. The Board noted that BlackRock and its affiliates have agreed to provide an offsetting credit against certain expenses incurred by the Master Portfolio.

D. Economies of Scale: The Board, including the Independent Board Members, considered the extent to which economies of scale might be realized as the assets of the Master Portfolio increase, as well as the existence of expense caps. The Board also considered the extent to which the Master Portfolio benefits from such economies and whether there should be changes in the advisory fee rate or structure in order to enable the Master Portfolio to participate in these economies of scale, for example through the use of breakpoints in the advisory fee based upon the asset level of the Master Portfolio. In its consideration, the Board took into account the existence of expense caps and further considered the continuation and/or implementation, as applicable, of such caps.

E. Other Factors Deemed Relevant by the Board Members: The Board, including the Independent Board Members, also took into account other ancillary or “fall-out” benefits that BlackRock or its affiliates may derive from their respective relationships with the Master Portfolio, both tangible and intangible, such as BlackRock’s ability to leverage its investment professionals who manage other portfolios and risk management personnel, an increase in BlackRock’s profile in the investment advisory community, and the engagement of BlackRock’s affiliates as service providers to the Master Portfolio, including for administrative, distribution, securities lending and cash management services. The Board also considered BlackRock’s overall operations and its efforts to expand the scale of, and improve the quality of, its operations. The Board also noted that BlackRock may use and benefit from third party research obtained by soft dollars generated by certain registered fund transactions to assist in managing all or a number of its other client accounts. The Board further noted that it had considered the investment by BlackRock’s funds in ETFs without any offset against the management fees payable by the funds to BlackRock.

In connection with its consideration of the Agreement, the Board also received information regarding BlackRock’s brokerage and soft dollar practices. The Board received reports from BlackRock which included information on brokerage commissions and trade execution practices throughout the year.

CONCLUSION

The Board, including all the Independent Board Members, unanimously approved the continuation of the Agreement between BlackRock and the Master Fund, with respect to the Master Portfolio, for a one-year term ending June 30, 2013. Based upon its evaluation of all of the aforementioned factors in their totality, the Board of the Master Fund, including the Independent Board Members, was satisfied that the terms of the Agreement were fair and reasonable and in the best interest of the Master Portfolio and its shareholders. In arriving at its decision to approve the Agreement, the Board did not identify any single factor or group of factors as all-important or controlling, but considered all factors together, and different Board Members may have attributed different weights to the various factors considered. The Independent Board Members were also assisted by the advice of independent legal counsel in making this determination. The contractual fee arrangements for the Master Portfolio reflect the results of several years of review by the Board Members and predecessor Board Members, and discussions between such Board Members (and predecessor Board Members) and BlackRock. As a result, the Board Members’ conclusions may be based in part on their consideration of these arrangements in prior years.
