  Investment Objective & Strategy  
The investment seeks to match the performance of the Russell 2000® Index as closely as possible before the deduction of fund expenses.
The fund is a "feeder" fund that invests all of its assets in the Series, a series of the Master LLC, which has the same investment objective and strategies as the fund. It will be substantially invested in securities in the Russell 2000, and will invest, under normal circumstances, at least 80% of its assets in securities or other financial instruments that are components of or have economic characteristics similar to the securities included in the Russell 2000.
  Morningstar Category: Small Blend
Small-blend portfolios favor U.S. firms at the smaller end of the market-capitalization range. Some aim to own an array of value and growth stocks while others employ a discipline that leads to holdings with valuations and growth rates close to the small-cap averages. Stocks in the bottom 10% of the capitalization of the U.S. equity market are defined as small cap. The blend style is assigned to portfolios where neither growth nor value characteristics predominate.
