Management's Discussion of Fund Performance
The Fund returned 0.97% for the six months ended June 30, 2024, outperforming its performance benchmark, the ICE BofA 1-5 Year U.S. Treasury Index, which returned 0.80%.
Key contributors to the Fund’s outperformance were its allocation to sectors not included in the performance benchmark, such as securities of agencies backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. government, mortgage-backed securities (MBS), collateralized mortgage obligations (CMOs), and asset-backed securities. The Fund benefited from strategic yield curve positioning and effective duration management.
The Fund’s underweight position in U.S. Treasuries and security selection generally detracted from performance, offsetting previous gains achieved through sector allocation and interest rate positioning.
During the period, the team strategically added to the Fund’s duration to benefit from interest rate volatility as inflation data delayed expected rate cuts to late 2024. By utilizing maturities and principal paydowns from agencies, the team increased allocations to CMOs and MBS.

Management's Discussion of Fund Performance
The Fund returned 1.26% for the six months ended June 30, 2024, outperforming its performance benchmark, the ICE BofA 1-5 Year U.S. Corporate/Government Index, which returned 1.09%.
Key contributors to the Fund’s outperformance were its allocations to asset-backed securities, corporate bonds (both financials and industrials), collateralized mortgage obligations (CMOs), and mortgage-backed securities (MBS), which contributed significantly as investment-grade credit spreads narrowed. The Fund benefited from strategic yield curve positioning and effective duration management.
The Fund’s underweight position in U.S. Treasuries and security selection generally detracted from performance. Security selection had a slight negative impact, offsetting previous gains from sector allocation and interest rate positioning.
During the period, the team strategically added to the Fund’s duration to benefit from interest rate volatility as inflation data delayed expected rate cuts to late 2024. Allocations to corporate bonds, CMOs, and MBS were increased while reducing allocations to U.S. Treasuries, to improve yield and capitalize on market opportunities.

Stock Index Fund operates as a feeder fund with all of its assets invested in the BlackRock S&P 500 Index Master Portfolio ("Master Portfolio"). The expense table reflects the expenses of both the feeder fund and the Master Portfolio.
Management's Discussion of Fund Performance
The Fund returned 7.23% for the six months ended June 30, 2024, trailing its benchmark index, the Standard & Poor’s (“S&P”) 500® Index, which returned 8.01%.
In the first quarter of 2024, equity markets in the United States continued to build off momentum from the last quarter of 2023. These robust gains were largely driven from continued investor optimism around companies involved in artificial intelligence (AI) development. Strong earnings reports also helped buoy U.S. indices, such as the S&P 500, to all-time highs throughout the first quarter of 2024. Fears of a "valuation bubble" began to emerge later in the quarter given the strong appreciation of technology stocks but strong earnings reports helped mitigate these concerns.
In the second quarter of 2024, the S&P 500 continued to notch new all-time highs, pushing the index above 5,450 points in June 2024. Investor optimism from better-than-expected earnings in AI-related technology stocks helped continue the rally in the large-cap market. From a Global Industry Classification Standard sector perspective, information technology (13.81%), communication services (9.37%), and utilities (4.66%) were among the best performers, while materials (-4.50%), industrials (-2.89%), and energy (-2.42%) were among the worst performers.

Management's Discussion of Fund Performance
The Fund returned 9.88% for the six months ended June 30, 2024, outperforming its performance benchmark, the Russell 1000 Value Index, which returned 6.62%.
There were two major themes during the period: the potential timing of the Federal Reserve to cut interest rates and the increased enthusiasm over artificial intelligence (AI).
Sector allocation was negative during the period, primarily from overweights in the health care and consumer discretionary sectors. An overweight to the industrial sector had a slightly positive effect. Stock selection was good during the six-month period particularly within the telecommunications and technology sectors. Meta Platform’s outperformance was driven by continued strong user engagement and investor enthusiasm for the potential benefits AI could have on its business.
Negatively impacting performance was Ulta Beauty, a specialty retailer of beauty products, which saw its revenue growth slow more than expected. Also detracting from performance was Centene, a managed care organization that continues to face membership enrollment challenges in its core Medicaid business.

Management's Discussion of Fund Performance
The Fund returned 21.78% for the six months ended June 30, 2024, outperforming its performance benchmark, the Russell 1000 Growth Index, which returned 20.70%. Broadly speaking, both security selection and sector allocation drove relative performance.
The consumer discretionary sector contributed significantly to relative results due to favorable security selection. Shares of Amazon.com traded higher during the period as the company’s ongoing improvement in retail operations and acceleration in its Amazon Web Services segment fueled investor optimism.
An underweight allocation to and favorable stock selection in the industrials and business services sector also aided relative performance. Howmet Aerospace is a supplier of highly engineered materials for use in aerospace, defense, automotive, and industrial end markets. Shares climbed higher during the period, supported by consecutive better-than-anticipated earnings releases that included consensus-topping revenue growth and margin expansion across most of the company’s business segments, despite facing headwinds in the aerospace end market.
An overweight allocation to the communication services sector further contributed to relative returns. We continue to find attractive opportunities in communication services companies with innovative business models that we believe can take advantage of transformational change, such as Meta Platforms, which posted double-digit returns during the period.
In contrast, the financials sector was a notable detractor from relative performance due to an overweight exposure and security selection. Our out-of-benchmark position in Global Payments, which we eliminated during the period, detracted. Shares of the electronic payments company fell in the wake of its relatively in-line quarterly results in May, driven by growing investor concerns over the company’s margin trajectory.
Unfavorable stock choices and an overweight allocation to the health care sector, including our significant position in UnitedHealth Group, also hindered relative returns. Shares traded lower as the company faced several headwinds in the first half of the year, including higher-than-expected medical costs, lower-than-expected initial Medicare Advantage rates for 2025, a federal antitrust investigation, and a data breach at one of its subsidiaries. We remain constructive on the Fund’s position in UnitedHealth Group as we believe its ability to provide durable growth is underappreciated by the market and view the company as well positioned, thanks, in part, to its leadership in the fast-growing Medicare Advantage market.

Management's Discussion of Fund Performance
The Fund returned 0.86% for the six months ended June 30, 2024, trailing its benchmark index, the MSCI EAFE Index, which returned 5.34%. 
By sector, poor performing stocks in health care significantly detracted from the Fund’s relative returns. Within health care, Japanese biopharma holdings Chugai Pharmaceutical and Shionogi weighed on returns, with Shionogi disclosing that its candidate weight-loss drug showed less favorable results in clinical trials than currently available treatments, while Chugai shares sagged on a competitor’s potential drug to challenge the dominance of Hemlibra, Chugai’s hemophilia treatment. Genmab lagged on expense worries, although it reported progress on its cancer drugs in the pipeline. Not owning Novo Nordisk, the weight-loss drugmaker, hurt relative returns. 
Our holdings in information technology also detracted from returns, despite strong performance from Taiwan Semiconductor, whose shares continued to soar on sustained demand for AI-related chips for NVIDIA and others. Dassault Systemes and Infineon Technologies were two of the portfolio’s top five detractors in the first half of 2024. Shares of Infineon clawed back some of this drop in the second quarter, and SAP also rose after the company provided more details about AI features coming to its enterprise management software and suggested cloud customer uptake is accelerating.
Viewed by geography, we had poor relative returns in Japan and Europe, both outside the eurozone and inside the eurozone. Strong performing stocks in Canada and the portfolio’s modest exposure to emerging markets, which are not held in the index, contributed to relative performance. In Japan conglomerate Sony, stood out as the biggest detractor following the release of its first-quarter results, which revealed PS5 console sales falling short of expectations despite a price reduction aimed at boosting sales. In Canada, financial services and insurance provider Manulife was a significant contributor.

Management's Discussion of Fund Performance
The Fund returned 1.48% for the six months ended June 30, 2024, slightly underperforming its performance benchmark, the Russell 2000 Index, which returned 1.73%.
Negative stock selection, particularly in the consumer discretionary sector, was the primary driver of the Fund’s underperformance. Malibu Boats, Inc., manufacturer of recreational boats, and ARKO Corp., operators of convenience stores and wholesalers of fuel, were the worst detractors, as higher interest rates and inflation pressure weighed on certain areas of consumer spending. Malibu Boats, Inc. experienced a sharp revenue decline for its recreational powerboat products following several years of surging demand. ARKO Corp. saw deteriorating merchandise and fuel sales at its rural convenience stores.
Overweight sector allocations in information technology and industrials, coupled with strong selection in the latter, positively impacted the Fund’s returns. Comfort Systems USA, Inc., a leading mechanical and electrical engineering services provider, was the top performer – reporting continued strength in data center and semiconductor fabrication construction activity with record backlog levels. Medpace Holdings, Inc., a clinical research organization, delivered another strong quarter driven by market share gains and exposure to the fast-growing biotechnology segment, while significant profitability improvements boosted earnings growth.
Fund Performance
The following graph compares the account values at June 30 of each of the most recent 10 years of a $10,000 initial investment in 1) the Fund, 2) a regulatory benchmark, and 3) a performance benchmark.
GROWTH OF $10,000
Fund Performance - Growth of 10K
AVERAGE ANNUAL TOTAL RETURNS 1 Year 5 Years 10 Years
Small-Company Stock Fund 8.09% 8.16% 5.72%
Small-Company Stock Fund—excluding sales load 8.09% 8.16% 5.72%
Regulatory Benchmark - S&P 500 Index 24.56% 15.05% 12.86%
Performance Benchmark - Russell 2000 Index 10.06% 6.94% 7.00%
Due to SEC rules on shareholder reporting, the Fund adopted a new broad-based securities market index, referred to as the regulatory benchmark.  The Fund retained its previous benchmark as a secondary benchmark, referred to as the performance benchmark, because it more closely aligns with the Fund's investment strategy.

1.    Organization
Homestead Funds, Inc. (the "Corporation") is a Maryland corporation organized on June 29, 1990.  Homestead Funds Trust (the "Trust") is a Massachusetts business trust organized on February 15, 2019.  The Corporation and the Trust are each 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. The Corporation currently consists of eight portfolios, Daily Income Fund, Short-Term Government Securities Fund, Short-Term Bond Fund, Stock Index Fund, Value Fund, Growth Fund, International Equity Fund, and Small-Company Stock Fund, and the Trust currently consists of the Intermediate Bond Fund (each individually a  "Fund" and collectively, the "Homestead Funds" or "Funds").  The Board of Directors of the Corporation and the Board of Trustees of the Trust are referred to collectively as the "Board".  The Rural America Growth and Income Fund was liquidated on June 12th, 2024.
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.  All of the Funds are diversified for purposes of the Act.
The Stock Index Fund pursues its investment objective by seeking to replicate the total return performance of the S&P 500 Index, which is composed of 500 selected common stocks, most of which are listed on the New York Stock Exchange. At June 30, 2024, the Stock Index Fund was operating as a feeder fund, whereby substantially all of its assets are invested in the S&P 500 Index Master Portfolio (“Master Portfolio”), an open-end investment company managed by BlackRock Fund Advisors. At June 30, 2024, the Stock Index Fund’s investment constituted 0.59% 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
The financial statements are prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). Homestead Funds is considered an Investment Company under GAAP and follows the accounting and reporting guidance set forth in ASC Topic 946 Financial Services—Investment Companies. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP 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.
Security Valuation Each Fund’s net asset value per share is calculated as of the close of regular trading on the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) (usually 4:00 p.m. ET), ("Valuation Time").  Net asset values per share normally are calculated every day the NYSE is open for regular trading. The NYSE is closed on weekends and major holidays. On any day that regular trading on the NYSE closes earlier than scheduled, the Fund will advance the time as of which the NAV is calculated and, therefore, also the time by which purchase and redemption orders must be received in order to receive that day's NAV.  The Board has designated Homestead Advisers Corp. ("Adviser" or "Homestead Advisers") as the Funds' valuation designee pursuant to Rule 2a-5 under the 1940 Act effective September 8, 2022.  Homestead Advisers and the Board have each adopted policies and procedures for the valuation of portfolio securities ("Valuation Procedures").  Portfolio securities for which market quotations are readily available are valued at current market value as of the Valuation Time in accordance with the Valuation Procedures. Market value is generally determined on the basis of official closing prices or the last reported sales prices and/or may be based on quotes or prices (including evaluated prices) supplied by the Funds’ approved independent pricing services. Homestead Advisers will fair value a security in accordance with the Valuation Procedures if: (i) readily available market quotations are not available; (ii) in the opinion of the Homestead Advisers, the market value does not constitute a readily available market quotation or does not reflect fair value; or (iii) a significant event has occurred that would impact a security's valuation.
The Board has delegated day-to-day responsibility for determining the fair value of securities to the Adviser.  Homestead Advisers has chartered an internal Valuation Committee to oversee the implementation of the Valuation Procedures, monitor the valuation process, and provide quarterly reports to the Board. The Valuation Committee reports all instances of fair valuation to the Board at each quarterly Board meeting, as applicable.
A disclosure hierarchy that categorizes the inputs used to value assets and liabilities at measurement date has been established under GAAP. These inputs are summarized into three broad levels as follows:
•  Level 1—quoted prices in active markets for identical investments;
     Notes to Financial Statements
50

Table of Contents
Notes to Financial Statements | (Unaudited)  |   (Continued)
•  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 in determining the fair valuation of investments).
The inputs or methodologies used to value securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities. Changes in valuation techniques may result in transfers in or out of an investment’s assigned level within the hierarchy during the period.
The Funds use the following valuation techniques to value securities by major category:
Registered investment company shares (other than shares of exchange-traded funds and closed-end fund shares that trade on an exchange) are valued at the net asset value determined by the registered investment company after the close of the NYSE. 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.
Domestic equity securities and shares of exchange traded funds that are traded on a national securities exchange are valued at the closing price as reported by an independent pricing service from the primary market in which the securities trade and are categorized as Level 1. Securities not traded or dealt in upon a national securities exchange for which over-the-counter market quotations are readily available generally are valued (i) at the last quoted sales price (if adequate trading volume is present) or, (ii) otherwise at the last bid price.
Foreign equity securities that are traded on a foreign exchange are valued based on the closing price as reported by an independent pricing service from the primary market in which such securities are normally traded. An independent pricing service is utilized to fair value foreign equity securities based on the impact of market events between the close of the foreign exchange and the time the net asset value is calculated. Foreign equity securities that are fair valued are categorized as Level 2 in the hierarchy and foreign equity securities not fair valued are categorized as Level 1.
Fixed-income securities, including corporate, government, municipal, mortgage-backed and asset-backed securities are (1) valued by an independent pricing service based on market prices or broker/dealer quotations or other appropriate measures, or (2) valued at market value generated by Homestead Advisers using a pricing matrix or model based on benchmark yields, issuer, spreads,monthly payment information or other available market information for securities of similar characteristics.  For purposes of the Valuation Procedures, the process described in (2) is deemed to be a fair valuation of such portfolio securities, solely for the purpose of the applicability of the fair valuation determinations set forth in the Valuation Procedures. For fixed-income securities, the security is valued following the sequence above and flows to the next method only if the prior method is not available.
Fixed income securities utilizing these methods are generally categorized as Level 2. Fixed income securities that are valued using only a broker quote, absent corroborating observable inputs are categorized as Level 3.
Fixed income securities and commercial paper held in the Daily Income Fund are valued at amortized cost and are categorized as Level 2 in the hierarchy. The amortized cost method does not take into account unrealized gains or losses on the portfolio securities. Amortized cost valuation involves initially valuing a security at its cost, and thereafter assuming a constant amortization to maturity of any discount or premium, regardless of the impact of fluctuating interest rates on the market value of the security. While this method provides certainty in valuation, it may result in periods during which the value of a security, as determined by amortized cost, may be higher or lower than the price the Daily Income Fund would receive if it sold the security.
If a market value cannot be determined for a security using the methodologies described above, or if, in the good faith opinion of the Adviser, the market value does not constitute a readily available market quotation, or if a significant event has occurred that would impact a security’s valuation, the security will be fair valued as determined in good faith by the Fund's Adviser as the Valuation Designee. The determination of a security’s fair value price often involves the consideration of a number of subjective factors, and therefore, is subject to the risk that the value that is assigned to a security may be higher or lower than the security’s value would be if a reliable market quotation for the security were readily available. Such securities are generally categorized as Level 3 in the hierarchy.
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. For purposes of determining the net asset value of the Stock Index Fund, the securities of the Master Portfolio are priced by the investment advisor to the Master Portfolio under the direction of the Board of Trustees of the Master Portfolio. The policies and procedures are discussed in the notes to the Master Portfolio’s financial statements, included in the Appendix of this report.

Foreign currency The International Equity 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.
To-be-announced securities  The Intermediate Bond Fund purchases securities on a to-be-announced (TBA) basis, with payment and delivery scheduled for a future date.  These transactions are subject to market fluctuations and are subject to the risk that the value at delivery may be more or less than the trade date purchase price.  The Fund maintains liquid assets sufficient to settle its commitment to purchase a TBA security.
Distributions to shareholders Dividends to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Ordinary income dividends for the Daily Income, Short-Term Government Securities, Short-Term Bond, and Intermediate Bond Funds are declared daily and paid monthly. Ordinary income dividends for Value Fund are declared and paid semi-annually. Ordinary income dividends for Stock Index, Growth, International Equity, and Small-Company Stock Funds are declared and paid annually. Capital gains dividends, if any, are declared and paid at the end of each fiscal year. Any unpaid ordinary income or capital gains will be paid in June of the subsequent year, but no later than the extended due date of the federal tax return. 
Other Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date. Interest income, including amortization of premium 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,  the Funds have not had prior claims or losses pursuant to these contracts.
General expenses of the Trust are allocated to each fund of the Trust and general expenses of the Corporation are allocated to each fund of the Corporation, in each case based upon relative net assets or other expense allocation methodologies determined by the nature of the expense. Expenses directly attributable to a Fund are charged to that Fund.
Management considered events occurring between the date of this report, June 30, 2024, and the date of issuance of this report in determining adjustments to the financial statements or necessary disclosures in this report.
3.    Federal Income Tax Information
The Funds' policy is 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.
Management has analyzed the Funds’ tax positions and has concluded that no provision for income tax is required in the Funds’ financial statements. The Funds are not aware of any tax positions for which it is reasonably possible that the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits will significantly change in the next twelve months. However, management’s conclusions may be subject to review and adjustment at a later date based on factors including, but not limited to new tax laws, regulations and administrative interpretations.
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 GAAP. These differences are primarily due to differing treatments of the following: futures and options transactions, foreign currency transactions, losses deferred due to wash sales, losses deferred due to post-October losses, unused capital losses, partnership investments, deferred Director’s fees, passive foreign investment company transactions, and REIT transactions, which are reflected as book/tax differences in the following tables.
At June 30, 2024, 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 Appreciation Tax Depreciation Net Tax
Appreciation

Daily Income Fund $224,921,359 $$$
Short-Term Gov. Securities Fund $57,155,735 $97,824 $(976,916) $(879,092)
Short-Term Bond Fund $433,843,538 $1,330,800 $(5,270,851) $(3,940,051)
Intermediate Bond Fund $141,979,410 $398,145 $(8,267,403) $(7,869,258)
Value Fund $549,644,807 $474,444,145 $(10,688,124) $463,756,021
Growth Fund $173,614,175 $201,566,584 $(2,351,756) $199,214,828
International Equity Fund $67,200,837 $22,890,684 $(3,557,260) $19,333,424
Small-Company Stock Fund $171,001,481 $75,979,894 $(11,542,107) $64,437,787
         
The difference between book basis and tax basis unrealized appreciation (depreciation) is primarily attributable to the tax deferral of losses on wash sales. Net unrealized appreciation/(depreciation) of Stock Index Fund in the Master Portfolio consists of an allocated portion of the portfolio’s unrealized appreciation/(depreciation). For information pertaining to the unrealized appreciation/(depreciation) for the Master Portfolio, please refer to the Appendix of this report.

7.    Principal Risks
Investing in the Funds involves risks which include, but are not limited to, those listed below.  The below risks, and other risks applicable to the Funds are further described in the Funds' Prospectus and Statement of Additional Information.
Asset-Backed and Mortgage-Backed Securities Risk The risk that defaults, or perceived increases in the risk of defaults, on the obligations underlying asset-backed and mortgage-backed securities, including mortgage pass-through securities and collateralized mortgage obligations (“CMOs”), significant credit downgrades and illiquidity may impair the value of the securities. These securities also present a higher degree of prepayment risk (when repayment of principal occurs before scheduled maturity resulting in the Fund having to reinvest proceeds at a lower interest rate) and extension risk (when rates of repayment of principal are slower than expected, which may lock in a below-market interest rate, increase the security’s duration, and reduce the value of the security) than do other types of fixed income securities. Enforcing rights against the underlying assets or collateral may be difficult, and the underlying assets or collateral may be insufficient if the issuer defaults.
Debt Securities Risk--Credit Risk The risk that an issuer or counterparty will fail to pay its obligations to the Fund when they are due. As a result, the Fund’s income might be reduced, the value of the Fund’s investment might fall, and/or the Fund could lose the entire amount of its investment. Changes in the financial condition of an issuer or counterparty, changes in specific economic, social or political conditions that affect a particular type of security or other instrument or an issuer, and changes in economic, social or political conditions generally can increase the risk of default by an issuer or counterparty, which can affect a security’s or other instrument’s credit quality or value and an issuer’s or counterparty’s ability to pay interest and principal when due.
Debt Securities Risk--Interest Rate Risk The risk that debt instruments will change in value because of actual or expected changes in interest rates. The value of an instrument with a longer duration (whether positive or negative) will be more sensitive to changes in interest rates than a similar instrument with a shorter duration. Bonds and other debt instruments typically have a positive duration, which means the value of the debt instrument will generally decline if interest rates increase. The value of debt instruments will also generally decline if inflation increases because the purchasing power of the future income and repaid principal is expected to be worth less when received by the Fund. Inflation rates may change frequently and significantly as a result of changes in the domestic or global economy or changes in fiscal or monetary policies.

Notes to Financial Statements | (Unaudited)  |   (Continued)
Currency Risk Foreign currencies may experience steady or sudden devaluation relative to the U.S. dollar or other currencies, adversely affecting the value of the Fund’s investments. The value of the Fund’s assets may be affected favorably or unfavorably by currency exchange rates, currency exchange control regulations, and restrictions or prohibitions on the repatriation of foreign currencies. Because the Fund’s net asset value is determined on the basis of U.S. dollars, if the local currency of a foreign market depreciates against the U.S. dollar, you may lose money even if the foreign market prices of the Fund’s holdings rise.
Equity Securities Risk Equity securities generally have greater price volatility than fixed-income securities. The market price of equity securities owned by a Fund may go up or down, sometimes rapidly or unpredictably. Equity securities may decline in value due to factors affecting the issuer, equity securities markets generally, particular industries represented in those markets or the issuer itself.
Foreign Risk A fixed-income Fund may invest in U.S. dollar-denominated debt securities of foreign issuers. These securities (also known as Yankee Bonds) may respond negatively to adverse foreign political or economic developments. Certain countries have recently experienced (or currently are expected to experience) negative interest rates on certain fixed-income securities, and similar interest rate conditions may be experienced in other regions. Investments in fixed-income securities with very low or negative interest rates may magnify the Fund’s susceptibility to interest rate risk and diminish yield and performance, and such investments may be subject to heightened volatility and reduced liquidity. An equity Fund may invest in foreign equity securities. Foreign securities may exhibit more extreme changes in value than securities of U.S. companies. The securities markets of many foreign countries are relatively small, with a limited number of companies representing a small number of industries. To the extent that investments are made in a limited number of countries, events in those countries will have a more significant impact on the Fund.
Foreign securities are subject to political, regulatory, and economic risks not present in domestic investments and may exhibit more extreme changes in value than securities of U.S. companies. In the case of foreign companies not registered in the U.S., there is generally less publicly available information regarding the issuer. These conditions may have an impact on rating organizations’ and a Fund manager’s ability to accurately assess and monitor an issuer’s financial condition.
In addition, foreign companies often are not subject to the same degree of regulation as U.S. companies. Reporting, legal, accounting and auditing standards of foreign countries differ, in some cases significantly, from U.S. standards. The securities of some non-U.S. entities are less liquid and at times more volatile than securities of comparable U.S. entities, and could become subject to sanctions or embargoes that adversely affect the Fund’s investment. Nationalization, expropriation or confiscatory taxation, currency blockage, political changes or diplomatic developments could adversely affect the Fund’s investments in a foreign country. In the event of nationalization, expropriation or other confiscation, the Fund could lose its entire investment. Investments in emerging market countries are likely to involve significant risks. These countries are generally more likely to experience political and economic instability.
Because non-U.S. securities are typically denominated and traded in currencies other than the U.S. dollar, the value of the Fund’s assets, to the extent they are non-U.S. dollar denominated, may be affected favorably or unfavorably by currency exchange rates, exchange control regulations, and restrictions or prohibitions on the repatriation of non-U.S. currencies.
Growth Style Risk The risk that returns on stocks within the growth style in which the Fund invests will trail returns of stocks representing other styles or the market overall over any period of time and may shift in and out of favor with investors generally, sometimes rapidly, depending on changes in market, economic, and other factors. Growth stocks can be volatile, as these companies usually invest a high portion of earnings in their business and therefore may lack the dividends of value stocks that can cushion stock prices in a falling market. Also, earnings disappointments often lead to sharply falling prices because investors buy growth stocks in anticipation of superior earnings growth.
Index Fund Risk An index fund has operating and other expenses while an index does not. As a result, while a fund will attempt to track its underlying index as closely as possible, it will tend to underperform the index to some degree over time. If an index fund is properly correlated to its stated index, the Fund will perform poorly when the index performs poorly.
Investments in Small- and Mid-Sized Companies Risk Investment in smaller and medium-sized companies may involve greater risk than investment in larger, more established companies. Their common stock and other securities may trade less frequently and in limited volume. Some securities of smaller issuers may be illiquid or may be restricted as to resale. Accordingly, the prices of such securities are generally more sensitive to purchase and sale transactions and tend to be more volatile than the prices of securities of companies with larger market capitalizations. Because of this, if a Fund wishes to sell a large quantity of a small or medium-sized company’s shares, it may have to sell at a lower price than it believes is reflective of the value of the shares, or it may have to sell in smaller quantities than desired and over a period of time. These companies may face greater business risks because they lack the management depth or experience, financial resources, product diversification or

competitive strengths of larger companies, and they may be more adversely affected by poor economic conditions. There may be less publicly available information about smaller companies than larger companies. In addition, these companies may have been recently organized and may have little or no track record of success. Small company stocks, as a group, tend to go in and out of favor based on economic conditions and market sentiment, and during certain periods will perform poorly relative to other types of investments, including larger company stocks. Generally, the smaller the company size, the greater these risks become.
Market Risk The risk that markets will perform poorly or that the returns from the securities in which the Fund invests will underperform returns from the general securities markets or other types of investments. Markets may experience periods of high volatility and reduced liquidity in response to governmental actions or intervention, political, economic or market developments, or other external factors, such as outbreaks of infectious illnesses or other widespread public health issues, outbreaks of war or sanctions in response to military incursions and natural disasters such as floods, droughts, fires, extreme storms, earthquakes or volcanic eruptions. During those periods, the Fund may experience high levels of shareholder redemptions, and may have to sell securities at times when the Fund would otherwise not do so, and potentially at unfavorable prices. Certain securities may be difficult to value during such periods.
Money Market Fund Risk Although the Daily Income Fund seeks to preserve the value of your investment at $1.00 per share, you may lose money by investing in the Fund. The share price of Money market funds can fall below the $1.00 share price. The Fund’s sponsor is not required to reimburse the Fund for losses, and you should not rely on or expect that the sponsor will enter into support agreements or take other actions to provide financial support to the Fund or maintain the Fund’s $1.00 share price at any time, including during periods of market stress. The credit quality of the Fund’s holdings can change rapidly in certain markets, and the default of a single holding could have an adverse impact on the Fund’s share price. The Fund’s share price can also be negatively affected during periods of high redemption pressures, illiquid markets, and/or significant market volatility. While the Board of Directors may implement procedures to impose a fee upon the sale of your shares if the Board determines it is in the best interest of the Fund, the Board has not elected to do so at this time.
Value Style Risk The risk that returns on stocks within the value style in which the Fund invests will trail returns of stocks representing other styles or the market overall over any period of time and may shift in and out of favor with investors generally, sometimes rapidly, depending on changes in market, economic, and other factors. Investments in value securities may be subject to risks that (1) the issuer's potential business prospects will not be realized; (2) their potential values will never be recognized by the market; and (3) their value was appropriately priced when acquired and they do not perform as anticipated.
8.    Recent Accounting Pronouncement
In March 2020, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued ASU 2020-04, Reference Rate Reform: Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting. The amendments in ASU 2020-04 provide optional temporary financial reporting relief from the effects of certain types of contract modifications due to the discontinuation of the London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR) reference rates.  The new guidance allows companies to, provided the only change to existing contacts are a change to an approved benchmark rate, account for modifications as a continuance of the existing contract, without additional analysis. For new and existing contracts, the Funds may elect to apply the amendments as of March 12, 2022 through December 31, 2022. In December 2022, FASB issued ASU 2022-06 which extends the date from December 31, 2022 to December 31, 2024, after which time entities will no longer be able to apply for relief.

Notes to Financial Statements (unaudited)
 
1.
ORGANIZATION
Master Investment Portfolio (“MIP”) is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), as an open-end management investment company. MIP is organized as a Delaware statutory trust. S&P 500 Index Master Portfolio (the “Master Portfolio”) is a series of MIP. The Master Portfolio is classified as diversified.
The Master Portfolio, together with certain other registered investment companies advised by BlackRock Fund Advisors (“BFA” or the “Manager”) or its affiliates, is included in a complex of funds referred to as the BlackRock Multi-Asset Complex.
2.
SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The financial statements are prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”), which may require management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities in the financial statements, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of increases and decreases in net assets from operations during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The Master Portfolio is considered an investment company under U.S. GAAP and follows the accounting and reporting guidance applicable to investment companies. Below is a summary of significant accounting policies:
Investment Transactions and Income Recognition:For financial reporting purposes, investment transactions are recorded on the dates the transactions are executed. Realized gains and losses on investment transactions are determined using the specific identification method.Dividend income and capital gain distributions, if any, are recorded on the ex-dividend dates. Non-cash dividends, if any, are recorded on the ex-dividend dates at fair value.Dividends from foreign securities where the ex-dividend dates may have passed are subsequently recorded when the Master Portfolio is informed of the ex-dividend dates. 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, a portion of the dividend income received from a real estate investment trust may be redesignated as a reduction of cost of the related investment and/or realized gain.Interest income, including amortization and accretion of premiums and discounts on debt securities, is recognized daily on an accrual basis.
Foreign Taxes: The Master Portfolio may be subject to foreign taxes (a portion of which may be reclaimable) on income, stock dividends, capital gains on investments, or certain foreign currency transactions. All foreign taxes are recorded in accordance with the applicable foreign tax regulations and rates that exist in the foreign jurisdictions in which the Master Portfolio invests. These foreign taxes, if any, are paid by the Master Portfolio and are reflected in its Statement of Operations as follows: foreign taxes withheld at source are presented as a reduction of income, foreign taxes on securities lending income are presented as a reduction of securities lending income, foreign taxes on stock dividends are presented as “Foreign taxes withheld”, and foreign taxes on capital gains from sales of investments and foreign taxes on foreign currency transactions are included in their respective net realized gain (loss) categories. Foreign taxes payable or deferred as of June 30, 2024, if any, are disclosed in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities.
The Master Portfolio files withholding tax reclaims in certain jurisdictions to recover a portion of amounts previously withheld. The Master Portfolio may record a reclaim receivable based on collectability, which includes factors such as the jurisdiction’s applicable laws, payment history and market convention. The Statement of Operations includes tax reclaims recorded as well as professional and other fees, if any, associated with recovery of foreign withholding taxes.
Collateralization: If required by an exchange or counterparty agreement, the Master Portfolio may be required to deliver/deposit cash and/or securities to/with an exchange, or broker-dealer or custodian as collateral for certain investments.
Indemnifications: In the normal course of business, the Master Portfolio enters into contracts that contain a variety of representations that provide general indemnification. The Master Portfolios maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown because it involves future potential claims against the Master Portfolio, which cannot be predicted with any certainty.
Other:Expenses directly related to the Master Portfolio are charged to the Master Portfolio. Other operating expenses shared by several funds, including other funds managed by the Manager, are prorated among those funds on the basis of relative net assets or other appropriate methods.

INVESTMENT VALUATION AND FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS
Investment Valuation Policies:The Master Portfolios investments are valued at fair value (also referred to as “market value” within the financial statements) each day that the Master Portfolio is open for business and, for financial reporting purposes, as of the report date. U.S. GAAP defines fair value as the price a fund would receive to sell an asset or pay to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The Board of Trustees of MIP (the “Board”) has approved the designation of the Master Portfolio’s Manager  as the valuation designee for the Master Portfolio.  The Master Portfolio determines the fair values of its financial instruments using various independent dealers or pricing services under the Manager’s policies. If a security’s market price is not readily available or does not otherwise accurately represent the fair value of the security, the security will be valued in accordance with the Manager’s policies and procedures as reflecting fair value. The Manager has formed a committee (the “Valuation Committee”) to develop pricing policies and procedures and to oversee the pricing function for all financial instruments, with assistance from other BlackRock pricing committees.

Fair Value Inputs and Methodologies: The following methods and inputs are used to establish the fair value of the Master Portfolios assets and liabilities:
Equity investments traded on a recognized securities exchange are valued at that day’s official closing price, as applicable, on the exchange where the stock is primarily traded. Equity investments traded on a recognized exchange for which there were no sales on that day may be valued at the last available bid (long positions) or ask (short positions) price.
Exchange-traded funds (“ETFs”) and closed-end funds traded on a recognized securities exchange are valued at that day’s official closing price, as applicable, on the exchange where the stock is primarily traded. ETFs and closed-end funds traded on a recognized exchange for which there were no sales on that day may be valued at the last available bid (long positions) or ask (short positions) price.
Investments in open-end U.S. mutual funds (including money market funds) are valued at that day’s published net asset value (“NAV”).
Futures contracts are valued based on that day’s last reported settlement or trade price on the exchange where the contract is traded.
Generally, trading in foreign instruments is substantially completed each day at various times prior to the close of trading on the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”). Each business day, the Master Portfolio uses current market factors supplied by independent pricing services to value certain foreign instruments (“Systematic Fair Value Price”). The Systematic Fair Value Price is designed to value such foreign securities at fair value as of the close of trading on the NYSE, which follows the close of the local markets.
If events (e.g., market volatility, company announcement or a natural disaster) occur that are expected to materially affect the value of such investment, or in the event that application of these methods of valuation results in a price for an investment that 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 Valuation Committee in accordance with the Manager’s policies and procedures as reflecting fair value (“Fair Valued Investments”). The fair valuation approaches that may be used by the Valuation Committee include market approach, income approach and cost approach. Valuation techniques such as discounted cash flow, use of market comparables and matrix pricing are types of valuation approaches and are typically used in determining fair value. When determining the price for Fair Valued Investments, the Valuation Committee seeks to determine the price that the Master Portfolio might reasonably expect to receive or pay from the current sale or purchase of that asset or liability in an arm’s-length transaction. Fair value determinations shall be based upon all available factors that the Valuation Committee deems relevant and consistent with the principles of fair value measurement.
Fair Value Hierarchy: Various inputs are used in determining the fair value of financial instruments. These inputs to valuation techniques are categorized into a fair value hierarchy consisting of three broad levels for financial reporting purposes as follows:
Level 1 – Unadjusted price quotations in active markets/exchanges for identical assets or liabilities that the Master Portfolio has the ability to access;
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); and
Level 3 – Unobservable inputs based on the best information available in the circumstances, to the extent observable inputs are not available (including the Valuation Committees assumptions used in determining the fair value of financial instruments).
The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements). Accordingly, the degree of judgment exercised in determining fair value is greatest for instruments categorized in Level 3. The inputs used to measure fair value may fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In such cases, for disclosure purposes, the fair value hierarchy classification is determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety.Investments classified within Level 3 have significant unobservable inputs used by the Valuation Committee in determining the price for Fair Valued Investments. Level 3 investments include equity or debt issued by privately held companies or funds that may not have a secondary market and/or may have a limited number of investors.The categorization of a value determined for financial instruments is based on the pricing transparency of the financial instruments and is not necessarily an indication of the risks associated with investing in those securities.
4.
SECURITIES AND OTHER INVESTMENTS
Securities Lending: The Master Portfolio may lend its securities to approved borrowers, such as brokers, dealers and other financial institutions. The borrower pledges and maintains with the Master Portfolio collateral consisting of cash, an irrevocable letter of credit issued by a bank, or securities issued or guaranteed by the U.S. Government. The initial collateral received by the Master Portfolio is required to have a value of at least 102% of the current value of the loaned securities for securities traded on U.S. exchanges and a value of at least 105% for all other securities. The collateral is maintained thereafter at a value equal to at least 100% of the current market value of the securities on loan. The market value of the loaned securities is determined at the close of each business day of the Master Portfolio and any additional required collateral is delivered to the Master Portfolio, or excess collateral returned by the Master Portfolio, on the next business day. During the term of the loan, the Master Portfolio is entitled to all distributions made on or in respect of the loaned securities, but does not receive interest income on 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.
As of period end, any securities on loan were collateralized by cash and/or U.S. Government obligations. Cash collateral invested by the securities lending agent, BlackRock Institutional Trust Company, N.A. (“BTC”), if any, is disclosed in the Schedule of Investments. Any non-cash collateral received cannot be sold, re-invested or pledged by the Master Portfolio, except in the event of borrower default. The securities on loan, if any, are disclosed in the Master Portfolios Schedule of Investments. The market value of any securities on loan and the value of related collateral, if any, are shown separately in the  Statement of Assets and Liabilities as a component of investments at value – unaffiliated and collateral on securities loaned, respectively.

Notes to Financial Statements (unaudited) (continued)
 
Securities lending transactions are entered into by the Master Portfolio under Master Securities Lending Agreements (each, an “MSLA”), which provide the right, in the event of default (including bankruptcy or insolvency), for the non-defaulting party to liquidate the collateral and calculate a net exposure to the defaulting party or request additional collateral. In the event that a borrower defaults, the Master Portfolio, as lender, would offset the market value of the collateral received against the market value of the securities loaned. When the value of the collateral is greater than that of the market value of the securities loaned, the lender is left with a net amount payable to the defaulting party. However, bankruptcy or insolvency laws of a particular jurisdiction may impose restrictions on or prohibitions against such a right of offset in the event of an MSLA counterparty’s bankruptcy or insolvency. Under the MSLA, absent an event of default, the borrower can resell or re-pledge the loaned securities, and the Master Portfolio can reinvest cash collateral received in connection with loaned securities. Upon an event of default, the parties’ obligations to return the securities or collateral to the other party are extinguished, and the parties can resell or re-pledge the loaned securities or the collateral received in connection with the loaned securities in order to satisfy the defaulting party’s net payment obligation for all transactions under the MSLA. The defaulting party remains liable for any deficiency.
As of period end, the following table is a summary of the Master Portfolios securities on loan by counterparty which are subject to offset under an MSLA:

(a)
Collateral received, if any, in excess of the market value of securities on loan is not presented in this table. The total cash collateral received by the Master Portfolio is disclosed in the
Master Portfolio’s Statement of Assets and Liabilities.
(b)
The market value of the loaned securities is determined as of June 30, 2024. Additional collateral is delivered to the Master Portfolio on the next business day in accordance with the
MSLA. The net amount would be subject to the borrower default indemnity in the event of default by the counterparty.
The risks of securities lending include the risk that the borrower may not provide additional collateral when required or may not return the securities when due. To mitigate these risks, the Master Portfolio benefits from a borrower default indemnity provided by BlackRock, Inc. (“BlackRock”). BlackRock’s indemnity allows for full replacement of the securities loaned to the extent the collateral received does not cover the value on the securities loaned in the event of borrower default. The Master Portfolio could incur 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. Such losses are borne entirely by the Master Portfolio.
5.
DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
The Master Portfolio engages in various portfolio investment strategies using derivative contracts both to increase the returns of the Master Portfolio and/or to manage its exposure to certain risks such as credit risk, equity risk, interest rate risk, foreign currency exchange rate risk, commodity price risk or other risks (e.g., inflation risk). Derivative financial instruments categorized by risk exposure are included in the Schedule of Investments. These contracts may be transacted on an exchange or over-the-counter (“OTC”).
Futures Contracts: Futures contracts are purchased or sold to gain exposure to, or manage exposure to, changes in interest rates (interest rate risk) and changes in the value of equity securities (equity risk) or foreign currencies (foreign currency exchange rate risk).
Futures contracts are exchange-traded agreements between the Master Portfolio and a counterparty to buy or sell a specific quantity of an underlying instrument at a specified price and on a specified date. Depending on the terms of a contract, it is settled either through physical delivery of the underlying instrument on the settlement date or by payment of a cash amount on the settlement date. Upon entering into a futures contract, the Master Portfolio is required to deposit initial margin with the broker in the form of cash or securities in an amount that varies depending on a contract’s size and risk profile. The initial margin deposit must then be maintained at an established level over the life of the contract. Amounts pledged, which are considered restricted, are included in cash pledged for futures contracts in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities.
Securities deposited as initial margin are designated in the Schedule of Investments and cash deposited, if any, are shown as cash pledged for futures contracts in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Pursuant to the contract, the Master Portfolio agrees to receive from or pay to the broker an amount of cash equal to the daily fluctuation in market value of the contract (“variation margin”).  Variation margin is recorded as unrealized appreciation (depreciation) and, if any, shown as variation margin receivable (or payable) on futures contracts in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. When the contract is closed, a realized gain or loss is recorded in the Statement of Operations equal

to the difference between the notional amount of the contract at the time it was opened and the notional amount at the time it was closed. The use of futures contracts involves the risk of an imperfect correlation in the movements in the price of futures contracts and interest rates, foreign currency exchange rates or underlying assets.
6.
INVESTMENT ADVISORY AGREEMENT AND OTHER TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES
Investment Advisory: MIP, on behalf of the Master Portfolio, entered into an Investment Advisory Agreement with the Manager, the Master Portfolios investment adviser and an indirect, wholly-owned subsidiary of BlackRock, to provide investment advisory services. The Manager is responsible for the management of the Master Portfolios portfolio and provides the personnel, facilities, equipment and certain other services necessary to the operations of the Master Portfolio.
For such services, the Master Portfolio pays the Manager a monthly fee at an annual rate equal to 0.01% of the average daily value of the Master Portfolio’s net assets.
Administration: MIP, on behalf of the Master Portfolio, entered into an Administration Agreement with BlackRock Advisors, LLC (“BAL”), which has agreed to provide general administrative services (other than investment advice and related portfolio activities). BAL has agreed to bear all of the Master Portfolios 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.
BAL is not entitled to compensation for providing administrative services to the Master Portfolio, for so long as BAL (or an affiliate) is entitled to compensation for providing administrative services to corresponding feeder funds that invest substantially all of their assets in the Master Portfolio, or BAL (or an affiliate) receives investment advisory fees from the Master Portfolio.
The fees and expenses of the Master Portfolio’s trustees who are not “interested persons” of MIP, as defined in the 1940 Act (“Independent Trustees”), counsel to the Independent Trustees and the Master Portfolio’s independent registered public accounting firm (together, the “independent expenses”) are paid directly by the Master Portfolio. BFA has contractually agreed to reimburse the Master Portfolio or provide an offsetting credit against the investment advisory fees paid by the Master Portfolio in an amount equal to the independent expenses through June 30, 2025. If the Master Portfolio does not pay administration fees, BAL agrees to cap the expenses of the Master Portfolio at the rate at which it pays an investment advisory fee to BFA. The amount waived is included in fees waived and/or reimbursed by the Manager in the Statement of Operations. For the six months ended June 30, 2024, the amount waived was $140,793.
Expense Waivers and Reimbursements:The Manager contractually agreed to waive its investment advisory fees by the amount of investment advisory fees the Master Portfolio pays to the Manager indirectly through its investment in affiliated money market funds (the “affiliated money market fund waiver”) through June 30, 2025. The contractual agreement may be terminated upon 90 days’ notice by a majority of the Independent Trustees or by a vote of a majority of the outstanding voting securities of the Master Portfolio. This amount is included in fees waived and/or reimbursed by the Manager in the Statement of Operations. For the six months ended June 30, 2024, the amounts waived were $49,123.
The Manager has contractually agreed to waive its investment advisory fee with respect to any portion of the Master Portfolios assets invested in affiliated equity and fixed-income mutual funds and affiliated exchange-traded funds that have a contractual management fee through June 30, 2025. The contractual agreement may be terminated upon 90 days’ notice by a majority of the Independent Trustees, or by a vote of a majority of the outstanding voting securities of the Master Portfolio.This amount is included in fees waived and/or reimbursed by the Manager in the Statement of Operations.For the six months ended June 30, 2024, the Manager waived $18,859 in investment advisory fees pursuant to this arrangement.
Securities Lending:The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) has issued an exemptive order which permits BTC, an affiliate of the Manager, to serve as securities lending agent for the Master Portfolio, subject to applicable conditions. As securities lending agent, BTC bears all operational costs directly related to securities lending, including any custodial costs. The Master Portfolio is responsible for fees in connection with the investment of cash collateral received for securities on loan (the “collateral investment fees”). The cash collateral is invested in a money market fund, BlackRock Cash Funds: Institutional or BlackRock Cash Funds: Treasury, managed by the Manager or its affiliates. However, BTC has agreed to reduce the amount of securities lending income it receives in order to effectively limit the collateral investment fees the Master Portfolio bears to an annual rate of 0.04%. The SL Agency Shares of such money market fund will not be subject to a sales load, redemption fee, distribution fee or service fee. The money market fund in which the cash collateral has been invested may impose a discretionary liquidity fee of up to 2% of the value redeemed, if such fee is determined to be in the best interests of such money market fund.
Securities lending income is generally equal to the total of income earned from the reinvestment of cash collateral (and excludes collateral investment fees), and any fees or other payments to and from borrowers of securities. The Master Portfolio retains a portion of the securities lending income and remits the remaining portion to BTC as compensation for its services as securities lending agent.
Pursuant to the current securities lending agreement, the Master Portfolio retains 81% of securities lending income (which excludes collateral investment fees), and this amount retained can never be less than 70% of the total of securities lending income plus the collateral investment fees.
In addition, commencing the business day following the date that the aggregate securities lending income earned across the BlackRock  Multi-Asset Complex in a calendar year exceeds a specified threshold, the Master Portfolio, pursuant to the securities lending agreement, will retain for the remainder of that calendar year securities lending income in an amount equal to 81% of securities lending income (which excludes collateral investment fees), and this amount retained can never be less than 70% of the total of securities lending income plus the collateral investment fees.
The share of securities lending income earned by the Master Portfolio is shown as securities lending income — affiliated — net in the Statement of Operations. For the six months ended June 30, 2024, the Master Portfolio paid BTC $93,650 for securities lending agent services.

Interfund Lending: In accordance with an exemptive order (the “Order”) from the SEC, the Master Portfolio may participate in a joint lending and borrowing facility for temporary purposes (the “Interfund Lending Program”), subject to compliance with the terms and conditions of the Order, and to the extent permitted by the Master Portfolio’s investment policies and restrictions. The Master Portfolio is currently permitted to borrow and lend under the Interfund Lending Program.
A lending BlackRock fund may lend in aggregate up to 15% of its net assets but may not lend more than 5% of its net assets to any one borrowing fund through the Interfund Lending Program. A borrowing BlackRock fund may not borrow through the Interfund Lending Program or from any other source more than 33 1/3% of its total assets (or any lower threshold provided for by the fund’s investment restrictions). If a borrowing BlackRock fund’s total outstanding borrowings exceed 10% of its total assets, each of its outstanding interfund loans will be subject to collateralization of at least 102% of the outstanding principal value of the loan. All interfund loans are for temporary or emergency purposes and the interest rate to be charged will be the average of the highest current overnight repurchase agreement rate available to a lending fund and the bank loan rate, as calculated according to a formula established by the Board.
During the period ended June 30, 2024, the Master Portfolio did not participate in the Interfund Lending Program.
Trustees and Officers:Certain trustees and/or officers of the Master Portfolio are directors and/or officers of BlackRock or its affiliates.
Other Transactions:The Master Portfolio may purchase securities from, or sell securities to, an affiliated fund provided the affiliation is due solely to having a common investment adviser, common officers, or common trustees. For the six months ended June 30, 2024, the purchase and sale transactions and any net realized gains (losses) with affiliated funds in compliance with Rule 17a-7 under the 1940 Act were as follows:

INCOME TAX INFORMATION
The Master Portfolio is classified as a partnership for U.S. 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 U.S. federal income tax provision is required.It is intended that the Master Portfolios 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 U.S. federal and various state and local tax returns. No income tax returns are currently under examination. The statute of limitations on the Master Portfolios U.S. federal tax returns generally remains open for a period of three years after they are filed. The statutes of limitations on the Master Portfolios state and local tax returns may remain open for an additional year depending upon the jurisdiction.
Management has analyzed tax laws and regulations and their application to the Master Portfolio as of June 30, 2024, inclusive of the open tax return years, and does not believe that there are any uncertain tax positions that require recognition of a tax liability in the Master Portfolios financial statements.
As of June 30, 2024, gross unrealized appreciation and depreciation based on cost of investments (including short positions and derivatives, if any) for U.S. federal income tax purposes were as follows:

BANK BORROWINGS
MIP, on behalf of the Master Portfolio, along with certain other funds managed by the Manager and its affiliates (“Participating Funds”), is party to a 364-day, $2.40 billion credit agreement with a group of lenders. Under this agreement, the Master Portfolio may borrow to fund shareholder redemptions. Excluding commitments designated for certain individual funds, the Participating Funds, including the Master Portfolio, can borrow up to an aggregate commitment amount of $1.75 billion at any time outstanding, subject to asset coverage and other limitations as specified in the agreement. The credit agreement has the following terms: a fee of 0.10% per annum on unused commitment amounts and interest at a rate equal to the higher of (a) Overnight Bank Funding Rate (“OBFR”) (but, in any event, not less than 0.00%) on the date the loan is made plus 0.80% per annum, (b) the Fed Funds rate (but, in any event, not less than 0.00%) in effect from time to time plus 0.80% per annum on amounts borrowed or (c) the sum of (x) Daily Simple Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”) (but, in any event, not less than 0.00%) on the date the loan is made plus 0.10% and (y) 0.80% per annum. The agreement expires in April 2025 unless extended or renewed. Prior to April 11, 2024, the aggregate commitment amount was $2.50 billion. These fees were allocated among such funds based upon portions of the aggregate commitment available to them and relative net assets of Participating Funds.During the six months ended June 30, 2024, the Master Portfolio did not borrow under the credit agreement.

PRINCIPAL RISKS
In the normal course of business, the Master Portfolio invests in securities or other instruments and may enter into certain transactions, and such activities subject the Master Portfolio to various risks, including among others, fluctuations in the market (market risk) or failure of an issuer to meet all of its obligations. The value of securities or other instruments may also be affected by various factors, including, without limitation: (i) the general economy; (ii) the overall market as well as local, regional or global political and/or social instability; (iii) regulation, taxation or international tax treaties between various countries; or (iv) currency, interest rate and price fluctuations. Local, regional or global events such as war, acts of terrorism, the spread of infectious illness or other public health issues, recessions, or other events could have a significant impact on the Master Portfolio and its investments. The Master Portfolios prospectus provides details of the risks to which the Master Portfolio is subject.
The Manager uses an indexing approach to try to achieve the Master Portfolio’s investment objective. The Master Portfolio is not actively managed, and the Manager generally does not attempt to take defensive positions under any market conditions, including declining markets.
The Master Portfolio may be exposed to additional risks when reinvesting cash collateral in money market funds that do not seek to maintain a stable NAV per share of $1.00, which may be subject to discretionary liquidity fees under certain circumstances.
Valuation Risk: The market values of equities, such as common stocks and preferred securities or equity related investments, such as futures and options, may decline due to general market conditions which are not specifically related to a particular company. They may also decline due to factors which affect a particular industry or industries. The Master Portfolio may invest in illiquid investments. An illiquid investment is any investment that the Master Portfolio reasonably expects cannot be sold or disposed of in current market conditions in seven calendar days or less without the sale or disposition significantly changing the market value of the investment. The Master Portfolio may experience difficulty in selling illiquid investments in a timely manner at the price that it believes the investments are worth. Prices may fluctuate widely over short or extended periods in response to company, market or economic news. Markets also tend to move in cycles, with periods of rising and falling prices. This volatility may cause the Master Portfolio’s NAV to experience significant increases or decreases over short periods of time. If there is a general decline in the securities and other markets, the NAV of the Master Portfolio may lose value, regardless of the individual results of the securities and other instruments in which the Master Portfolio invests.
Counterparty Credit Risk: The Master Portfolio may be exposed to counterparty credit risk, or the risk that an entity may fail to or be unable to perform on its commitments related to unsettled or open transactions, including making timely interest and/or principal payments or otherwise honoring its obligations. The Master Portfolio manages counterparty credit risk by entering into transactions only with counterparties that the Manager 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 Portfolios exposure to market, issuer and counterparty credit risks with respect to these financial assets is approximately their value recorded in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities, less any collateral held by the Master Portfolio.
A derivative contract may suffer a mark-to-market loss if the value of the contract decreases due to an unfavorable change in the market rates or values of the underlying instrument. Losses can also occur if the counterparty does not perform under the contract.
With exchange-traded futures, there is less counterparty credit risk to the Master Portfolio since the exchange or clearinghouse, as counterparty to such instruments, guarantees against a possible default. The clearinghouse stands between the buyer and the seller of the contract; therefore, credit risk is limited to failure of the clearinghouse. While offset rights may exist under applicable law, the Master Portfolio does not have a contractual right of offset against a clearing broker or clearinghouse in the event of a default (including the bankruptcy or insolvency). Additionally, credit risk exists in exchange-traded futures with respect to initial and variation margin that is held in a clearing broker’s customer accounts. While clearing brokers are required to segregate customer margin from their own assets, in the event that a clearing broker becomes insolvent or goes into bankruptcy and at that time there is a shortfall in the aggregate amount of margin held by the clearing broker for all its clients, typically the shortfall would be allocated on a pro rata basis across all the clearing broker’s customers, potentially resulting in losses to the Master Portfolio.
Geographic/Asset Class Risk: A diversified portfolio, where this is appropriate and consistent with a fund’s objectives, minimizes the risk that a price change of a particular investment will have a material impact on the NAV of a fund. The investment concentrations within the Master Portfolio’s portfolio are disclosed in its Schedule of Investments.
The Master Portfolio invests a significant portion of its assets in securities within a single or limited number of market sectors. When a fund concentrates its investments in this manner, it assumes the risk that economic, regulatory, political and social conditions affecting such sectors may have a significant impact on the Master Portfolio and could affect the income from, or the value or liquidity of, the Master Portfolio’s portfolio. Investment percentages in specific sectors are presented in the Schedule of Investments.
The Master Portfolio invests a significant portion of its assets in securities of issuers located in the United States. A decrease in imports or exports, changes in trade regulations, inflation and/or an economic recession in the United States may have a material adverse effect on the U.S. economy and the securities listed on U.S. exchanges. Proposed and adopted policy and legislative changes in the United States may also have a significant effect on U.S. markets generally, as well as on the value of certain securities. Governmental agencies project that the United States will continue to maintain elevated public debt levels for the foreseeable future which may constrain future economic growth. Circumstances could arise that could prevent the timely payment of interest or principal on U.S. government debt, such as reaching the legislative “debt ceiling.” Such non-payment would result in substantial negative consequences for the U.S. economy and the global financial system. If U.S. relations with certain countries deteriorate, it could adversely affect issuers that rely on the United States for trade. The United States has also experienced increased internal unrest and discord. If these trends were to continue, they may have an adverse impact on the U.S. economy and the issuers in which the Master Portfolio invests.
Significant Shareholder Redemption Risk: Certain shareholders may own or manage a substantial amount of fund shares and/or hold their fund investments for a limited period of time. Large redemptions of fund shares by these shareholders may force a fund to sell portfolio securities, which may negatively impact the fund’s NAV, increase the fund’s brokerage costs, and/or accelerate the realization of taxable income/gains and cause the fund to make additional taxable distributions to shareholders.

Disclosure of Investment Advisory Agreement
 
The Board of Trustees (the “Board,” the members of which are referred to as “Board Members”) of Master Investment Portfolio (the “Master Portfolio”) met on April 16, 2024 (the “April Meeting”) and May 16-17, 2024 (the “May Meeting”) to consider the approval to continue the investment advisory agreement (the “Agreement”) between the Master Portfolio, on behalf of S&P 500 Index Master Portfolio (the “Fund”) and BlackRock Fund Advisors (the “Manager” or “BlackRock”), the Master Portfolio’s investment advisor.
The Approval Process
Consistent with the requirements of the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the “1940 Act”), the Board considers the continuation of the Agreement for the Fund on an annual basis. The Board members who are not “interested persons” of the Master Portfolio, as defined in the 1940 Act, are considered independent Board members (the “Independent Board Members”). The Board’s consideration entailed a year-long deliberative process during which the Board and its committees assessed BlackRock’s various services to the Fund, including through the review of written materials and oral presentations, and the review of additional information provided in response to requests from the Independent Board Members. The Board had four quarterly meetings per year, each of which extended over a two-day period, as well as additional ad hoc meetings throughout the year, as needed.  The committees of the Board similarly met throughout the year.  The Board also had an additional one-day meeting to consider specific information regarding the renewal of the Agreement. In considering the renewal of the Agreement, the Board assessed, among other things, the nature, extent and quality of the services provided to the Fund by BlackRock, BlackRock’s personnel and affiliates, including (as applicable): investment management services; accounting oversight; administrative and shareholder services; oversight of the Fund’s service providers; risk management and oversight; and legal, regulatory and compliance services. Throughout the year, including during the contract renewal process, the Independent Board Members were advised by independent legal counsel, and met with independent legal counsel in various executive sessions outside of the presence of BlackRock’s management.
During the year, the Board, acting directly and through its committees, considers information that was relevant to its annual consideration of the renewal of the Agreement, including the services and support provided by BlackRock to the Fund and its shareholders. BlackRock also furnished additional information to the Board in response to specific questions from the Board. Among the matters the Board considered were:  (a) investment performance of an affiliated feeder fund that invests all of its investable assets in the Fund (the “representative feeder fund”) for one-year, three-year, five-year, and/or since inception periods, as applicable, against peer funds, relevant benchmarks, and other performance metrics, as applicable, as well as BlackRock senior management’s and portfolio managers’ investment performance analyses, and the reasons for any outperformance or underperformance relative to its peers, benchmarks, and other performance metrics, as applicable; (b) fees, including advisory, administration, if applicable, and other amounts paid to BlackRock and its affiliates by the Fund for services; (c) the Fund’s operating expenses and how BlackRock allocates expenses to the Fund; (d) the resources devoted to, risk oversight of, and compliance reports relating to, implementation of the Fund’s investment objective, policies and restrictions, and meeting regulatory requirements; (e) BlackRock’s and the Fund’s adherence to applicable compliance policies and procedures; (f) the nature, character and scope of non-investment management services provided by BlackRock and its affiliates and the estimated cost of such services, as applicable; (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 Fund’s valuation and liquidity procedures; (k) an analysis of management fees paid to BlackRock for products with similar investment mandates across the open-end fund, exchange-traded fund (“ETF”), closed-end fund, sub-advised mutual fund, separately managed account, collective investment trust, and institutional separate account product channels, as applicable, and the similarities and differences between these products and the services provided as compared to the Fund; (l) BlackRock’s compensation methodology for its investment professionals and the incentives and accountability it creates, along with investment professionals’ investments in the fund(s) they manage; and (m) periodic updates on BlackRock’s business.
Prior to and in preparation for the April Meeting, the Board requested and reviewed materials specifically relating to the renewal of the Agreement. The Independent Board Members continuously engaged in a process with their independent legal counsel and BlackRock to review the nature and scope of the information provided to the Board to better assist its deliberations. The materials provided in connection with the April Meeting included, among other things: (a) information independently compiled and prepared by Broadridge Financial Solutions, Inc. (“Broadridge”), based on either a Lipper Classification or Morningstar category, regarding fees and expenses of the Fund and the representative feeder fund, as applicable, as compared with a peer group of funds as determined by Broadridge (“Expense Peers”), and the investment performance of the representative feeder fund as compared with a peer group of funds (“Performance Peers”); (b) information on the composition of the Expense Peers and Performance Peers, and a description of Broadridge’s methodology; (c) information on the estimated profits realized by BlackRock and its affiliates pursuant to the Agreement and a discussion of fall-out benefits to BlackRock and its affiliates; (d) a general analysis provided by BlackRock concerning investment management fees received in connection with other types of investment products, such as institutional accounts, sub-advised mutual funds, ETFs, closed-end funds, open-end funds, and separately managed accounts, under similar investment mandates, as well as the performance of such other products, as applicable; (e) a review of non-management fees; (f) the existence, impact and sharing of potential economies of scale, if any, with the Fund; (g) a summary of aggregate amounts paid by the Fund to BlackRock; (h) sales and redemption data regarding the representative feeder fund’s shares; and (i) various additional information requested by the Board as appropriate regarding BlackRocks and the Funds operations.
At the April Meeting, the Board reviewed materials relating to its consideration of the Agreement and the Independent Board Members presented BlackRock with questions and requests for additional information. BlackRock responded to these questions and requests with additional written information in advance of the May Meeting, and such responses were reviewed by the Board Members.
At the May Meeting, the Board concluded its assessment of, among other things: (a) the nature, extent and quality of the services provided by BlackRock; (b) the investment performance of the Fund as compared with the representative feeder fund’s to its Performance Peers and to other metrics, as applicable; (c) the advisory fee and the estimated cost of the services and estimated profits realized by BlackRock and its affiliates from their relationship with the Fund; (d) the representative feeder fund’s fees and expenses compared to its Expense Peers; (e) the existence and sharing of potential economies of scale; (f) any fall-out benefits to BlackRock and its affiliates as a result of BlackRock’s relationship with the Fund; and (g) other factors deemed relevant by the Board Members.
The Board also considered other matters it deemed important to the approval process, such as other payments made to BlackRock or its affiliates relating to securities lending and cash management, and BlackRock’s services related to the valuation and pricing of portfolio holdings of the Fund.  The Board noted the willingness of BlackRock’s personnel to engage in open, candid discussions with the Board.  The Board evaluated the information available to it on a fund-by-fund basis.  The following paragraphs provide more information about some of the primary factors that were relevant to the Board’s decision.  The Board Members did not identify any particular information, or any single factor as determinative, and each Board Member may have attributed different weights to the various items and factors considered.

2024 BlackRock Semi-Annual Financial Statements

Disclosure of Investment Advisory Agreement (continued)
 
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 Fund.  Throughout the year, the Board compared the representative feeder fund’s performance to the performance of a comparable group of mutual funds, relevant benchmarks, and performance metrics, as applicable.  The Board met with BlackRock’s senior management personnel responsible for investment activities, including the senior investment officers.  The Board also reviewed the materials provided by the Fund’s portfolio management team discussing the performance of the Fund and the representative feeder fund and the Fund’s investment strategies and outlook.
The Board considered, among other factors, with respect to BlackRock: the experience of  the Fund’s portfolio management team; research capabilities; investments by portfolio managers in the funds they manage; portfolio trading capabilities; use of technology; commitment to compliance; credit analysis capabilities; risk analysis and oversight capabilities; and the approach to training and retaining portfolio managers and other research, advisory and management personnel. The Board also considered BlackRock’s overall risk management program, including the continued efforts of BlackRock and its affiliates to address cybersecurity risks and the role of BlackRock’s Risk & Quantitative Analysis Group.  The Board engaged in a review of BlackRock’s compensation structure with respect to the Fund’s portfolio management team and BlackRock’s ability to attract and retain high-quality talent and create performance incentives.
In addition to investment advisory services, the Board considered the nature and quality of the administrative and other non-investment advisory services provided to the Fund.  BlackRock and its affiliates provide the Fund with certain administrative, shareholder and other services (in addition to any such services provided to the Fund by third parties) and officers and other personnel as are necessary for the operations of the Fund.  In particular, BlackRock and its affiliates provide the Fund with administrative services including, among others: (i) responsibility for disclosure documents, such as the prospectus, the summary prospectus (as applicable), the statement of additional information and periodic shareholder reports; (ii) oversight of daily accounting and pricing; (iii) responsibility for periodic filings with regulators; (iv) overseeing and coordinating the activities of third party service providers including, among others, the custodian, fund accountant, transfer agent, and auditor for the Fund, as applicable; (v) organizing Board meetings and preparing the materials for such Board meetings; (vi) providing legal and compliance support; (vii) furnishing analytical and other support to assist the Board in its consideration of strategic issues such as the merger, consolidation or repurposing of certain open-end funds; and (viii) performing or managing administrative functions necessary for the operation of the Fund, such as tax reporting, expense management, fulfilling regulatory filing requirements and other services.  The Board reviewed the structure and duties of BlackRock’s fund administration, shareholder services, and legal and compliance departments and considered BlackRock’s policies and procedures for assuring compliance with applicable laws and regulations.  The Board considered the operation of BlackRock’s business continuity plans.
B.  The Investment Performance of the Fund
The Board, including the Independent Board Members, reviewed and considered the performance history of the Fund throughout the year and at the April Meeting.  The Board noted that the representative feeder fund’s investment results correspond directly to the investment results of the Fund. In preparation for the April Meeting, the Board was provided with reports independently prepared by Broadridge, which included an analysis of the representative feeder fund’s performance as of December 31, 2023, as compared to its Performance Peers.  Broadridge ranks funds in quartiles, ranging from first to fourth, where first is the most desirable quartile position and fourth is the least desirable.  In connection with its review, the Board received and reviewed information regarding the investment performance of the representative feeder fund as compared to its Performance Peers and the performance of the representative feeder fund as compared with its benchmark. The Board and its Performance Oversight Committee regularly review, and meet with Fund management to discuss, the performance of the Fund and the representative feeder fund, as applicable, throughout the year.
In evaluating performance, the Board focused particular attention on funds with less favorable performance records. The Board also noted that while it found the data provided by Broadridge generally useful, it recognized the limitations of such data, including in particular, that notable differences may exist between a fund and its Performance Peers (for example, the investment objectives and strategies).  Further, the Board recognized that the performance data reflects a snapshot of a period as of a particular date and that selecting a different performance period could produce significantly different results.  The Board also acknowledged that long-term performance could be impacted by even one period of significant outperformance or underperformance and that a single investment theme could have the ability to disproportionately affect long-term performance. 
The Board noted that for the one-year period reported, the representative feeder fund’s net performance was within the tolerance range of its benchmark. The Board noted that BlackRock believes that net performance relative to the benchmark is an appropriate performance metric for the representative feeder fund, and that BlackRock has explained its rationale for this belief to the Board.
C.  Consideration of the Advisory/Management Fees and the Estimated Cost of the Services and Estimated Profits Realized by BlackRock and its Affiliates from their Relationship with the Fund
The Board, including the Independent Board Members, reviewed the Fund’s contractual management fee rate compared with those of the representative feeder fund’s Expense Peers.  The contractual management fee rate represents a combination of the advisory fee and any administrative fees, before taking into account any reimbursements or fee waivers. The Board also compared the representative feeder fund’s total expense ratio, as well as its actual management fee rate, to those of its Expense Peers.  The total expense ratio represents a fund’s total net operating expenses, including any 12b-1 or non-12b-1 service fees. The total expense ratio gives effect to any expense reimbursements or fee waivers, and the actual management fee rate gives effect to any management fee reimbursements or waivers. The Board considered that the fee and expense information in the Broadridge report for the Fund reflected information for a specific period and that historical asset levels and expenses may differ from current levels, particularly in a period of market volatility. The Board considered the services provided and the fees charged by BlackRock and its affiliates to other types of clients with similar investment mandates, as applicable, including institutional accounts and sub-advised mutual funds (including mutual funds sponsored by third parties). 
The Board received and reviewed statements relating to BlackRock’s financial condition.  The Board reviewed BlackRock’s profitability methodology and was also provided with an estimated profitability analysis that detailed the revenues earned and the expenses incurred by BlackRock for services provided to the Fund. The Board reviewed BlackRock’s estimated profitability with respect to the Fund and other funds the Board currently oversees for the year ended December 31, 2023 compared to available aggregate estimated profitability data provided for the prior two years.  The Board reviewed BlackRock’s estimated profitability with respect to certain other U.S. fund complexes managed by the Manager and/or its affiliates.  The Board reviewed BlackRock’s assumptions and methodology of allocating expenses in the estimated 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, precision of expense allocations and business mix. The Board thus recognized that calculating and comparing profitability at the individual fund level is difficult. 
The Board noted that, in general, individual fund or product line profitability of other advisors is not publicly available.  The Board reviewed BlackRock’s overall operating margin, in general, compared to that of certain 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.
The Board 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 further considered factors including but not limited to BlackRock’s commitment of time and resources, assumption of risk, and liability profile in servicing the Fund, including in contrast to what is required of BlackRock with respect to other products with similar investment mandates across the open-end fund, ETF, closed-end fund, sub-advised mutual fund, separately managed account, collective investment trust, and institutional separate account product channels, as applicable.
The Board noted that the Master Portfolio’s contractual management fee rate ranked in the first quartile, and that the actual management fee rate and the representative feeder fund’s total expense ratio each ranked in the first quartile relative to the representative feeder fund’s Expense Peers. The Board also noted that BlackRock and its affiliates have contractually agreed to reimburse or otherwise compensate the Master Portfolio for certain other fees and expenses.
D.  Economies of Scale
The Board, including the Independent Board Members, considered the extent to which any economies of scale might benefit the Fund in a variety of ways as the assets of the Fund increase. The Board considered multiple factors, including the advisory fee rate and breakpoints, unitary fee structure, fee waivers, and/or expense caps, as applicable. The Board considered the Fund’s asset levels and whether the current fee schedule was appropriate.
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 BlackRock’s respective relationships with the Fund, both tangible and intangible, such as BlackRock’s ability to leverage its investment professionals who manage other portfolios and its 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 Fund, including for administrative, distribution, securities lending and cash management services. With respect to securities lending, during the year the Board also considered information provided by independent third-party consultants related to the performance of each BlackRock affiliate as securities lending agent. 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, subject to applicable law, 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.           
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
At the May Meeting, in a continuation of the discussions that occurred during the April Meeting, and as a culmination of the Board’s year-long deliberative process, the Board, including the Independent Board Members, unanimously approved the continuation of the Agreement between the Manager and the Master Portfolio, on behalf of the Fund, for a one-year term ending June 30, 2025. Based upon its evaluation of all of the aforementioned factors in their totality, as well as other information, the Board, including the Independent Board Members, was satisfied that the terms of the Agreement were fair and reasonable and in the best interest of the Fund 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 advised by independent legal counsel throughout the deliberative process.
