Plan Investment Fund, Inc.
Notes to Financial Statements
(Unaudited)
June 30, 2024
Note 1. Organization
Plan Investment Fund, Inc. (the "Fund") is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "1940 Act''), as an open-endmanagement investment company and is organized as a Maryland Corporation governed by a Board of Trustees (the "Board of Trustees" or the "Board"). The Fund consists of two portfolios: the Government Portfolio and the Money Market Portfolio (each, a "Portfolio" and collectively, the "Portfolios"). Each Portfolio is a "diversified" series of the Fund, as that term is defined under the 1940 Act. The assets and liabilities of each Portfolio are segregated and a shareholder's interest is limited to the Portfolio in which Participation Certificates ("PCs") are held. BlackRock Advisors, LLC, a wholly-owned indirect subsidiary of BlackRock, Inc., serves as the Portfolios' investment advisor and service agent ("BALLC" or the "Investment Advisor"). The Board has designated the Investment Advisor as the valuation designee, pursuant to Rule 2a-5under the 1940 Act, to make fair value determinations relating to the Money Market Portfolio's holdings.
Government Portfolio - a government money market fund which seeks a high level of current income and stability of principal by investing in U.S. Government obligations and repurchase agreements relating to such obligations.
Money Market Portfolio - an institutional prime money market fund which seeks a high level of current income and stability of principal by investing in a broad range of U.S. dollar-denominated money market instruments, including U.S. Government obligations, repurchase agreements and U.S. and foreign bank obligations and commercial obligations.
The Fund's prospectus provides a description of each Portfolio's investment objective, principal investment strategies, and principal risks.
Note 2. Significant Accounting Policies
The Fund follows accounting and reporting guidance in accordance with the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") Topic 946, Financial Services - Investment Companies. The Fund's financial statements are prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("U.S. GAAP"). The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by the Fund.
Portfolio Classification and Valuation: Rule 2a-7under the 1940 Act effectively created three categories of money market funds: Government, Retail and Institutional. Rule 2a-7provides that Government and Retail money market funds may seek to transact at a stable $1.00 net asset value ("NAV") per share and use amortized cost to value their portfolio holdings, subject to certain conditions. Institutional money market funds are required to "float" their NAV per share by pricing their shares to four decimal places (e.g., $1.0000) and valuing their portfolio securities using fair value rather than amortized cost (except as noted below). In addition, the Money Market Portfolio has adopted policies and procedures for the imposition of liquidity fees under certain conditions.
The Government Portfolio operates as a Government money market fund and accordingly: (1) invests at least 99.5% of its total assets in: (i) cash; (ii) securities or instruments issued or guaranteed as to principal and interest by the United States or certain U.S. Government agencies or instrumentalities; and/or (iii) repurchase agreements that are collateralized fully by U.S. Government obligations or cash; and (2) uses amortized cost, which approximates fair value, to value its portfolio securities and seeks to transact at a stable $1.00 NAV per PC.
The Money Market Portfolio operates as an institutional money market fund and accordingly: (1) is limited to institutional investors; (2) utilizes market-based prices to value its portfolio holdings, except to the extent that market information is not readily available or deemed by the Investment Advisor to be unreliable in which case the portfolio holding is fair valued by the Investment Advisor, as valuation designee, pursuant to procedures approved by the Board; (3) transacts at a floating NAV per PC that uses four decimal place precision (e.g., $1.0000) (except that the Portfolio may use amortized cost to value short-term investments with remaining maturities of 60 days or less, subject to the Investment Advisor's oversight); and (4) has adopted policies and procedures to impose liquidity fees of up to 2% of the value of the PC's redeemed shares, subject to the Board's determination that a liquidity fee is in the best interests of the Portfolio. The Money Market Portfolio calculates its NAV three times daily, at 8:00 a.m., 12:00 p.m. and 3:00 p.m. Eastern time on each Business Day.

Investments in other open-endmanagement investment companies, if held, are valued based on the NAV of the management investment companies (which are to be determined pursuant to procedures discussed in their prospectuses). If price quotes are unavailable or deemed unreliable, securities will be fair valued by the Investment Advisor, as valuation designee, in accordance with procedures approved by the Board.
Securities Transactions and Investment Income: For financial reporting purposes, investment transactions are recorded on the trade date. Realized gains and losses on investments sold are recorded on the identified cost basis. Gains and losses on principal paydowns from mortgage-backed securities are recorded as interest income on the Statements of Operations. Interest income is recorded on an accrual basis. Market discounts and premiums on securities purchased are amortized on an effective yield basis over the estimated lives of the respective securities for the Portfolios.
Dividends and Distributions to Participation Certificate Holders: Dividends from net investment income of the Portfolios are declared daily and paid monthly. The Government Portfolio and the Money Market Portfolio intend, subject to the use of offsetting capital loss carryforwards, to distribute net realized short and long-term capital gains, if any, throughout each year. Income dividends and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with U.S. federal income tax regulations, which may differ from U.S. GAAP. Permanent book and tax basis differences relating to shareholder distributions will result in reclassifications within the components of net assets.
Federal Income Taxes: No provision is made for federal income taxes as it is each Portfolio's intention to continue to qualify as a regulated investment company by complying with the requirements of Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"), and to distribute substantially all of its net investment income to Participation Certificate holders, which will be sufficient to relieve each Portfolio from all, or substantially all, federal income and excise taxes.
The Fund's policy is to classify interest and penalties associated with underpayment of federal and state income taxes, if any, as income tax expense on its Statement of Operations. As of June 30, 2024, the Fund did not have any interest or penalties associated with the underpayment of any income taxes.
Repurchase Agreements: Under a repurchase agreement, a counterparty sells a security to a Portfolio and agrees to repurchase the subject security at an agreed upon date and price. The repurchase price generally equals the price paid by the Portfolio plus interest negotiated on the basis of current short-term rates. Collateral for repurchase agreements may have longer maturities than the maximum permissible remaining maturity of Portfolio investments. The repurchase agreement is conditioned upon the collateral being deposited under the Federal Reserve book entry system or held in a separate account by the Fund's custodian, sub-custodianor an authorized securities depository. For the Government Portfolio, collateral generally consists of U.S. Government and U.S. Government agency securities, and cash, and for the Money Market Portfolio, collateral generally consists of U.S. Government and U.S. Government agency securities and obligations of issuers in the financial services industry, and cash. The market value of repurchase agreement collateral must be maintained, on a daily basis, at an amount equal to at least 100% of the repurchase price of the securities subject to the repurchase agreement plus accrued interest. Upon an event of default under the terms of the Master Repurchase Agreement, both parties have the right to set-off.If the seller defaults or enters into an insolvency proceeding, liquidation of the collateral by the purchaser may be delayed or limited. As of June 30, 2024, the Government Portfolio and the Money Market Portfolio held repurchase agreements, which are included under "Repurchase Agreements, at cost, which approximates fair value" in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities. The value of the related collateral that the Portfolios hold for each of their repurchase agreements is disclosed in the Schedules of Investments for each Portfolio and exceeded the value of the corresponding repurchase agreement at June 30, 2024.
Expenses: Expenses are recorded on an accrual basis. Each Portfolio pays the expenses that are directly related to its operations, such as investment advisory and servicing fees, custodian fees, and transfer agent fees. Expenses incurred by the Fund on behalf of each Portfolio, such as trustee expenses or legal fees, are allocated among each of the Portfolios either proportionately based upon the Portfolios' relative net assets or using another reasonable basis such as equally across each Portfolio, depending on the nature of the expense.

Liquidity Fees:For the Money Market Portfolio, any liquidity fees imposed on the value of shares redeemed are retained by the Portfolio for the benefit of the Portfolio's remaining shareholders and are recorded as paid-in-capital.No such liquidity fees were imposed with respect to either Portfolio during the six months ended June 30, 2024.
Management Estimates: The preparation of financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements, and that affect the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Indemnification: In the normal course of business, the Fund may enter into contracts under which it has general indemnification obligations. The Fund's maximum exposure under these arrangements is dependent on claims that may be made against the Fund in the future, and therefore, cannot be estimated; however, based on experience, the risk of material loss from such claims is considered remote.
Note 3. Fair Value Measurement
Fair Value Measurement: 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 inputs and valuation techniques used to measure fair value of the Portfolios' investments are categorized into three levels as described in the hierarchy below:
• Level 1 | - | quoted prices in active markets for identical securities | ||
• Level 2 | - | other significant observable inputs (including amortized cost, quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.) | ||
• Level 3 | - | significant unobservable inputs (including the Portfolio's own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments) |
Fixed-income securities held within the Money Market Portfolio are generally valued at fair value (Valuation Approach) using price evaluations provided by an independent pricing service approved by the Investment Advisor, as valuation designee (Level 2). Evaluated prices provided by a pricing service are commonly informed by actual trade data for identical or substantially similar investments and data and information from broker-dealers. Fixed-income securities held within the Government Portfolio are valued at amortized cost (Cost Approach), which approximates fair value, in accordance with Rule 2a-7under the 1940 Act. Under the amortized cost valuation method, an investment is valued initially at its cost, and thereafter, a proportionate accretion of the discount or amortization of the premium is applied to the investment's valuation each day until maturity. If the amount payable at maturity exceeds the initial cost (a "discount"), then the proportionate accretion is added to the investment's valuation each day; if the initial cost exceeds the amount payable at maturity (a "premium"), then the proportionate amortization is subtracted from the investment's valuation each day. Generally, amortized cost approximates the current fair value of a security, but since the value is not obtained from a quoted price in an active market, such securities are reflected as Level 2.

The fair value of investments may differ significantly from the values that would have been used had quoted prices in active markets for identical securities existed for such investments and may differ significantly from the values the Portfolios' ultimately realize. Further, certain investments may be subject to legal and other restrictions on resale or otherwise may be less liquid than publicly and/or actively traded securities.
The fair value hierarchy levels assigned to a Portfolio's investments are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.
Note 4. Transactions with Affiliates and Related Parties and Other Fee Arrangements
The Fund has entered into agreements for investment advisory and service agent, distribution, administrative, custodian and transfer agent services, and certain other management services, as follows:
BCS Financial Services Corporation (the "Administrator"), serves as the Fund's Administrator with respect to the Fund's overall operations and relations with holders of PCs. Certain officers or employees of the Administrator are also Officers of the Fund, however these Fund Officers serve without compensation from the Fund. As compensation for its services, each Portfolio pays the Administrator a fee, computed daily and paid monthly, at an annual rate not to exceed 0.05% of the average daily net assets of each of the Fund's Portfolios.

BALLC serves as the Portfolios' investment advisor and service agent. As servicing agent, BALLC maintains the financial accounts and records, and computes the NAV and net income for both Portfolios. BALLC subcontracts certain administrative services to BNY Mellon Investment Servicing (U.S.), Inc. ("BNY Mellon Investment Servicing"). As compensation for its services, the Government Portfolio and the Money Market Portfolio each pay BALLC a fee, computed daily and paid monthly based upon the following annualized percentages of the average daily net assets of the Portfolio: 0.20% of the first $250 million, 0.15% of the next $250 million, 0.12% of the next $250 million, 0.10% of the next $250 million, and 0.08% of amounts in excess of $1 billion.
BALLC has agreed to reduce the fees otherwise payable to it to the extent necessary to reduce the ordinary operating expenses of each Portfolio so that they do not exceed 0.30 of one percent (0.30%) of the Portfolio's average daily net assets for the year. In addition, (i) BALLC and the Administrator have agreed to waive fees such that the Government Portfolio's ordinary operating expenses do not exceed 0.10 of one percent (0.10%) of average daily net assets for the year; (ii) the Administrator has agreed to waive one basis point of its contractual fees relating to the Money Market Portfolio and BALLC has agreed to waive fees to cap the annual ordinary operating expenses of the Money Market Portfolio at 17.5 basis points for those assets up to $1 billion, 16.0 basis points for those assets between $1 billion and $2 billion, and 15.5 basis points for those assets above $2 billion. BALLC and the Administrator cannot terminate these fee waivers prior to May 1, 2025 without the consent of the Board.
For the Government Portfolio and the Money Market Portfolio, the Administrator has further agreed that if for any day, after giving effect to all other fee waivers and all expenses, including without limitation, any extraordinary expenses, the "portfolio yield" would be less than 0.01%, the Administrator shall waive that portion of its fees for such day so that after giving effect to such waiver and the other fee waivers, the portfolio yield for such day would not be less than 0.01%. The Administrator has agreed that if after giving effect to such waiver and the other fee waivers, the portfolio yield for such day would be less than 0.01%, the Administrator shall waive all of its fees for such day. BALLC has further agreed that if for any day, after giving effect to the other fee waivers and all Administrator fee waivers, the portfolio yield would be less than 0.01%, BALLC shall waive that portion of its fees for such day so that after giving effect to such waiver, and all other fee waivers, the portfolio yield for such day would not be less than 0.01%. BALLC has agreed that, if after giving effect to such waiver, and all other fee waivers, the portfolio yield for such day would be less than 0.01%, BALLC shall waive all of its fees for such day. BALLC and the Administrator cannot terminate this portfolio yield fee waiver prior to May 1, 2025 without the consent of the Board.
BALLC and the Administrator have also entered into an agreement which guarantees BALLC a minimum annual fee. Neither the Fund nor the Portfolios are a party to, or financially responsible for, this minimum fee agreement.
As a result of the foregoing waivers, for the six months ended June 30, 2024, the Administrator waived $235,940 and $7,567 which the Administrator was otherwise entitled to as the fees for its services as Administrator for the Government Portfolio and the Money Market Portfolio, respectively. BALLC waived $577,647 and $135,318 of its investment advisory fees for the Government Portfolio and the Money Market Portfolio, respectively, for the six months ended June 30, 2024.
The Bank of New York Mellon (the "Custodian") acts as custodian of the Fund's assets and BNY Mellon Investment Serving (U.S.) Inc. acts as the Fund's accounting agent, transfer agent and dividend disbursing agent. Both the Custodian and BNY Mellon Investment Servicing are wholly-owned subsidiaries of The Bank of New York Mellon Corporation. The Custodian and BNY Mellon Investment Servicing earn fees from the Portfolios for serving in these capacities.

Foreside Fund Services, LLC (the "Distributor") is the Fund's distributor. The Distributor is neither affiliated with the Administrator, BALLC, The Bank of New York Mellon Corporation nor their affiliated companies. The Fund does not have a distribution plan under Rule 12b-1of the 1940 Act; accordingly, the Distributor receives no compensation from the Fund for its distribution services.
Pursuant to a Fund Chief Compliance Officer Agreement with the Fund, Foreside Fund Officer Services, LLC ("FFOS"), an affiliate of the Distributor, provides a Chief Compliance Officer to the Fund as well as compliance support functions. FFOS is paid a fee plus out of pocket expenses for the services provided, which is paid monthly in arrears by the Fund.

FMS is paid an annual fee plus out of pocket expenses for these services, which are paid by the Administrator.
Note 5. Tax Information
The Portfolios have followed the authoritative guidance on accounting for and disclosure of uncertainty in tax positions, which requires the Portfolios to determine whether a tax position is more likely than not to be sustained upon examination, including resolution of any related appeals or litigation processes, based on the technical merits of the position. The Portfolios have determined that there was no effect on the financial statements from following this authoritative guidance. In the normal course of business, the Portfolios' tax returns are subject to examination by federal, state and local jurisdictions, where applicable, for the last three years.

Note 6. Principal Risks
Credit Risk - Credit risk is the risk that an issuer will be unable or unwilling to make timely principal and interest payments when due or otherwise honor their obligations. Changes in an issuer's credit rating or the market's perception of an issuer's creditworthiness may also adversely affect the value of a Portfolio's investment in that issuer. The degree of credit risk depends on both the financial condition of the issuer and the terms of the obligation.
Floating Net Asset Value Risk (Money Market Portfolio Only)- The NAV of the Money Market Portfolio floats, fluctuating with changes in the values of the Portfolio's securities, and as a result the Portfolio will not maintain a constant net asset value per share. The value of the Portfolio's Participation Certificates will be calculated to four decimal places.
Income Risk - Each Portfolio's yield will vary as short-term securities in its portfolio mature and the proceeds are reinvested in securities with different interest rates.
Interest Rate Risk - Interest rate risk is the risk that the value of a debt security may fall when interest rates rise, and that the value of a debt security may rise when interest rates fall. In general, the market price of debt securities with longer maturities will go up or down in response to changes in interest rates by a greater amount than the market price of shorter-term securities. Securities issued or guaranteed by the U.S. Government, its agencies, instrumentalities and sponsored enterprises have historically involved little risk of loss of principal if held to maturity. However, due to fluctuations in interest rates, the market value of such securities may vary during the period Participation Certificate holders own an interest in a Portfolio. Very low or negative interest rates may magnify interest rate risk. During periods of very low or negative interest rates, the Fund may be unable to maintain positive returns or pay dividends. Changing interest rates, including rates that fall below zero, may have unpredictable effects on markets, may result in heightened market volatility and may detract from the Fund's ability to achieve its investment objective.
U.S. Treasury Obligations Risk - Direct obligations of the U.S. Treasury have historically involved little risk of loss of principal if held to maturity. However, the actual or threatened failure of the U.S. Government to pay its obligations will increase credit risk. In addition, due to fluctuations in interest rates, the market value of such securities may vary during the period of your investment in a Portfolio. In addition, notwithstanding that U.S. Treasury obligations are backed by the full faith and credit of the United States, circumstances could arise that could prevent the timely payment of interest or principal, such as reaching the legislative "debt ceiling." Such non-paymentcould result in losses to the Fund and substantial negative consequences for the U.S. economy and the global financial system.
Market Risk and Selection Risk - Market risk is the risk that one or more markets in which the Portfolio invests will go down in value, including the possibility that the markets will go down sharply and unpredictably. The value of a security or other asset may decline due to changes in general market conditions, economic trends or events that are not specifically related to the issuer of the security or other asset, or factors that affect a particular issuer or issuers, exchange, countries, group of countries, regions, market, industry, group of industries, sectors or asset class. Local, regional or global events such as war, acts of terrorism, the spread of infectious illness or other public health issues, like pandemics or epidemics, recessions, or other events could cause significant global economic and market disruptions and have a significant negative impact on the Portfolio and its investments. The impact of such events may be more severe for the Portfolio because the Portfolio invests in short-term instruments. Selection risk is the risk that the securities selected by the Investment Advisor will underperform the markets, the relevant indices or the securities selected by other funds with similar investment objectives and investment strategies. This means you may lose money.

(Concluded)
Prepayment Risk (Money Market Portfolio Only) - When interest rates fall, certain obligations will be paid off by the obligor more quickly than originally anticipated, and the Portfolio may have to invest proceeds in securities with lower yields. In periods of falling interest rates, the rate of prepayments tends to increase (as does price fluctuation) as borrowers are motivated to pay off debt and refinance at new lower rates. During such periods, a Portfolio's reinvestment of the prepayment proceeds will generally be at lower rates of return than the return on the assets that were prepaid. Prepayment reduces the yield to maturity and the average life of the security.
Extension Risk (Money Market Portfolio Only) - When interest rates rise, certain obligations may be paid off by the obligor more slowly than anticipated, causing the value of these securities to fall. Rising interest rates tend to extend the duration of securities, making them more sensitive to changes in interest rates. The value of longer-term securities generally changes more in response to changes in interest rates than shorter-term securities. As a result, in a period of rising interest rates, securities may exhibit additional volatility and may lose value.
Financial Services Industry Risk (Money Market Portfolio Only) - The Portfolio is susceptible to economic, business, political or other developments which generally affect the financial services industry, such as government regulation, interest rate volatility and the availability and cost of capital (including the availability and stability of deposits in the case of deposit-taking institutions), consolidation and general economic conditions. Financial services companies are also exposed to losses if borrowers and other counterparties experience financial problems and/or cannot repay their obligations.
Repurchase Agreement Risk - The Portfolios may enter into repurchase agreements. Under a repurchase agreement, the seller agrees to repurchase a security at a mutually agreed-upon time and price. If the seller in a repurchase agreement transaction defaults on its obligation under the agreement, a Portfolio may suffer delays and incur costs or lose money in exercising its rights under the agreement.
Stable Net Asset Value Risk (Government Portfolio Only) - The Portfolio may not be able to maintain a stable net asset value ("NAV") of $1.00 per Participation Certificate at all times. If the Portfolio fails to maintain a stable NAV (or if there is a perceived threat of such a failure), the Portfolio, along with other money market funds, could be subject to increased redemption activity.
At times of (i) significant redemption activity by shareholders, including, for example, when a single investor or a few large investors make a significant redemption of Participation Certificates, (ii) insufficient levels of cash in the Portfolio to satisfy redemption activity and (iii) disruption in the normal operation of the markets in which the Portfolio buys and sells securities, the Portfolio could be forced to sell securities at unfavorable prices in order to generate sufficient cash to pay redeeming Participation Certificate holders. Sales of securities held by the Portfolio at such times could result in losses to the Portfolio and cause the NAV to fall below $1.00 per Participation Certificate.
Variable and Floating Rate Investment Risk - Variable and floating rate securities provide for periodic adjustment in the interest rate paid on the securities in response to changes in a referenced interest rate. Any lag in time between changes in the referenced interest rate and the security's next interest rate adjustment can be expected to impact the security's value either positively (if interest rates are decreasing) or negatively (if interest rates are increasing). The interest rate on a variable or floating rate security is ordinarily determined by reference to, or is a percentage of, an objective standard such as interbank rates, a bank's prime rate, the 90-dayU.S. Treasury Bill rate or the rate of return on commercial paper or bank certificates of deposit.
Note 7. Subsequent Events

Statement Regarding Basis for Approval of Investment Advisory Contract. |
Background and Approval Process
BlackRock Advisors, LLC (the "Advisor") serves as investment advisor to the Government Portfolio and the Money Market Portfolio (each a "Portfolio" and together, the "Portfolios"), each a series of Plan Investment Fund, Inc. (the "Fund"), pursuant to separate investment advisory agreements (each an "Advisory Agreement" and together, the "Advisory Agreements") with the Fund. The Portfolios comprise all series of the Fund. The Advisory Agreements were initially approved by the Board of Trustees (the "Board") of the Fund at the inception of each Portfolio for two-yearterms. The Advisory Agreements continue thereafter if approved annually by the Board and by a majority of the Board members who are not parties to the Advisory Agreements or who are not "interested persons" (as defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "1940 Act")) of any such party (the "Independent Trustees") by a vote cast at a meeting called for the purpose of voting on the Advisory Agreements. The Advisory Agreements for each Portfolio were most recently considered by the Board at a meeting held on March 18, 2024 (the "March Board meeting").
As part of the annual contract review process, the Independent Trustees, through their independent legal counsel, requested and received extensive materials, including information relating to (i) the nature, extent and quality of services provided by the Advisor under the Advisory Agreements, including, but not limited to, the Advisor's investment processes, (ii) short-term and long-term performance of each Portfolio relative to a peer group of funds, (iii) the costs of the services provided and profits realized by the Advisor with respect to the management of each Portfolio, (iv) the extent to which the Advisor has in the past experienced or is likely in the future to experience economies of scale in connection with the management of each Portfolio, (v) the expense ratio of each Portfolio as compared with the expense ratios of
a peer group of funds and (vi) any benefits to the Advisor or its affiliates from the Advisor's relationship with the Portfolios. The Independent Trustees, through their independent legal counsel, also submitted follow-uprequests for information to the Advisor to which the Independent Trustees received supplemental responses prior to and at the March Board meeting. The information provided by the Advisor in response to the Board's requests, as well as information provided by BCS Financial Services Corporation ("BCS"), administrator to the Portfolios, supplemented a variety of written materials, reports and oral presentations received by the Board throughout the year, including information regarding Portfolio performance, expense ratios, portfolio composition and risk oversight, and regulatory compliance.
At the March Board meeting, representatives of the Advisor discussed certain requested information with the Board and responded to additional questions. The Board considered the specific factors set out in case law and identified by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission in evaluating the Advisory Agreements. The Board used its business judgment in considering these and other relevant factors, as summarized in more detail below, and concluded that the terms of each Advisory Agreement are fair and reasonable and that the continuation of each Advisory Agreement is in the best interests of the applicable Portfolio. In deciding to approve the renewal of each Advisory Agreement, the Board did not identify any single factor or group of factors as all important or controlling and considered all factors together. The Board did not allot a particular weight to any one factor or group of factors.
Nature, Extent and Quality of Services
As part of its decision-making process, the Board noted that the Advisor has managed the Portfolios since their inception, and the Board believes that a long-term relationship with a capable, conscientious investment advisor is in the best interests of each Portfolio. The Board also considered, generally, that participation certificate holders invest in a Portfolio specifically seeking the Advisor's investment expertise and style. The Board also noted that when Participation Certificate holders invest in a Portfolio, the investors are informed of the Portfolio's contractual advisory fee and that neither Portfolio's contractual advisory fee has increased since the effectiveness of the Advisory Agreement for the Portfolio. In this connection, the Board considered, in particular, whether each Portfolio is managed in accordance with its investment objective and policies as disclosed to Participation Certificate holders. The Board concluded that the Advisor's management of each Portfolio is consistent with the Portfolio's investment objective and policies.
With respect to the nature, extent and quality of services provided by the Advisor to the Portfolios, the Board considered the terms of the Advisory Agreements, including the scope of advisory services provided to the Portfolios. The Board reviewed information on the experience and qualifications of key personnel performing services for the Portfolios, as well as the organizational structure of the Advisor's investment team. The Board also reviewed each Portfolio's investment performance, as summarized below. The Board considered the depth and quality of the Advisor's investment processes, the resources utilized to provide investment advisory services to the Portfolios and the overall financial stability of the organization. In addition, the Board considered the Advisor's compliance and risk management programs, including internal audit reviews and cybersecurity practices and business continuity programs.
Based on its review, the Board concluded that the nature, extent and quality of services provided (and expected to be provided) to each Portfolio under its Advisory Agreement were satisfactory.
Investment Performance
The Board noted that it reviews data on the short-term and long-term performance of the Portfolios in connection with each Board meeting. For the March Board meeting, the Board reviewed and considered information about the investment performance of each Portfolio through December 31, 2023, compared to a peer group of funds. The funds included within each Portfolio's peer group of funds were compiled by BCS, independent of the Advisor, based on the similarity of the funds' investment objectives and strategies to those of the Portfolio and the comparability of the funds' asset size to that of the Portfolio, using publicly available data. The Board also reviewed and considered performance information for each Portfolio compared to a category of peer funds which was provided by iMoneyNet. In reviewing this performance information, the Board made the following observations:
Government Portfolio
The Government Portfolio outperformed the median performance of its peer group of funds for the one-,five- and ten-yearperiods ended December 31, 2023 and was equal to the median performance of its peer group of funds for the three-year period ended December 31, 2023. The Government Portfolio outperformed the average of its peer category for the one-,three-, five- and ten-yearperiods ended December 31, 2023. The Board noted that the peer group of funds consisted of nine other institutional government money market funds, and that as of December 31, 2023 the Government Portfolio had significantly less assets under management than each fund in the peer group.
Money Market Portfolio
The Money Market Portfolio underperformed the median performance of its peer group of funds for the one-,three-, five- and ten-yearperiods ended December 31, 2023. The Money Market Portfolio outperformed the average of its peer category of funds for the one-,three-,five- and ten-yearperiods ended December 31, 2023. The Board noted that the peer group of funds consisted of nine other institutional prime money market funds and that as of December 31, 2023 the Money Market Portfolio had significantly less assets under management than each fund in the peer group.
The Board also considered the Advisor's statement regarding the importance of scale and the variability of investor flows, in terms of assets under management, on the Portfolio's performance.
Based on its review, the Board concluded that the Advisor's efforts and results with respect to the performance of each Portfolio were satisfactory.
Fees and Expenses
The Board reviewed each Portfolio's gross advisory fee, advisory fee breakpoint schedule and expense data compared to the gross advisory fee, advisory fee breakpoint schedule and expense data of the same peer group of funds compiled by BCS, independent of the Advisor, that the Board used to review the Portfolio's performance. The Board reviewed data showing how each Portfolio's advisory fees and expense ratios compared to those of its peer group.
The Board considered that the gross advisory fees of the Government Portfolio were lower than the median gross advisory fees of its peer group of funds and that the Government Portfolio's assets under management as of December 31, 2023 were significantly less than each of its peer funds. The Board considered that the gross advisory fees of the Money Market Portfolio were higher than the median gross advisory fees of its peer group of funds and that the Money Market Portfolio's assets under management as of December 31, 2023 were significantly less than each of its peer funds. The Board considered that the amount of fees waived by the Advisor and the Portfolios' administrator for each Portfolio, as a percentage of average net assets, was the highest within each Portfolio's peer group.
The Board also reviewed information provided by the Advisor regarding the fee rates offered to other money market fund clients of the Advisor, including sub-advisedportfolios. The Board considered that each Portfolio's gross advisory fees were less than the fee rates applicable to a majority of the other money market fund clients for which the Advisor serves as investment advisor. The Board also considered that each Portfolio's gross advisory fees were higher than the fee rates applicable to the other money market fund clients for which the Advisor serves as investment sub-advisor,and the Board took into account the nature and extent of the services that the Advisor provides to each Portfolio pursuant to the Advisory Agreements. The Board also considered the Advisor's statement that the management fees of each Portfolio, after contractual fee waivers, are the same as or lower than those of similar accounts, with comparable services, managed by the Advisor. The Board concluded that the advisory fee for each Portfolio was fair and reasonable.
Profitability
The Board reviewed information concerning the estimated profitability to the Advisor of the Advisory Agreements, including information regarding the Advisor's methodology for allocating expenses in connection with providing services under the Advisory Agreements. The Board considered that BCS and the Advisor have entered into an agreement whereby BCS (and not the Portfolios) provides compensation to the Advisor to the extent necessary to ensure that the Advisor, after accounting for fees waived by the Advisor, receives a minimum annual amount of compensation for services provided to the Portfolios. The Board recognized that individual fund or product line profitability of other advisors is generally not publicly available and that profitability may be affected by numerous factors, noting that, as a result, the comparability of profitability among advisory firms is limited. The Board noted that the Money Market Portfolio has significantly less assets under management than the Government Portfolio and that due to the contractual fee waivers the Advisor waived a substantial portion of its advisory fees with respect to the Money Market Portfolio and the Government Portfolio. The Board concluded that the estimated profitability of the Advisor with respect to the Advisory Agreements was not unreasonable.
Economies of Scale
The Board considered the extent to which economies of scale would be realized as the Portfolios grow and whether advisory fee levels reflect these economies of scale for the benefit of investors. The Board considered each Portfolio's amount of assets under management and information regarding staffing and infrastructure of the Advisor. The Board took into account that the Advisor has agreed to extend existing fee waivers with respect to each Portfolio for an additional twelve months. The Board also noted that the advisory fee schedule for each Portfolio incorporates breakpoints and thus reflects economies of scale by offering lower effective advisory fees as the assets of the Portfolios increase. The Board concluded that each Portfolio's fee schedule represents an appropriate sharing by the Advisor with the Portfolio of such economies of scale as may exist in the management of the Portfolio at various asset levels.
Other Benefits to the Advisor or Its Affiliates
The Board considered information regarding any indirect benefits to the Advisor or its affiliates from the Advisor's relationship with the Portfolios. The Board noted the Advisor's statement that its relationship with the Government Portfolio and the Money Market Portfolio may have raised the Advisor's profile as an investment advisor in the broker-dealer community, which may enhance business opportunities for the Advisor. The Board also noted the Advisor's statement that the Advisor may accrue scale-related benefits from the inclusion of the Portfolios in the Advisor's total assets under management, including trading efficiencies resulting in reduced costs, increased liquidity and bid-offerspreads, operational efficiencies, greater buying power and flexibility, and improved trade execution. The Board considered these potential indirect benefits to the Advisor under the Advisory Agreements in reaching its conclusion that the advisory fee for each Portfolio was fair and reasonable.
Based on all of the information considered and the conclusions reached, including consideration of each of the factors referred to above, the Board, including all of the Independent Trustees, concluded that the terms of each Advisory Agreement are fair and reasonable and the continuation of each Advisory Agreement is in the best interests of each Portfolio.
