Barclays Global Investors Endowment Fund II Limited 
 
 
Interim Results for the six months ended 28 February 2009 
 
 
Barclays Global Investors Endowment Fund II Limited (BGIEF II), launched in 
December 1996, is a Jersey-registered closed-ended investment company, which 
invests in a range of traded with-profits endowment policies.  The policies, 
which are written by a variety of life offices, thereby seeking to achieve for 
shareholders a strategic objective of an attractive level of capital growth 
coupled with low investment risk. It is the Company's policy not to invest in 
other UK listed investment companies. One fifth of the Company's original shares 
were redeemed in 2005, 2006, 2007 and 2008. It is the intention of the Directors 
to wind up the Company after 1 September 2009. As policies do not produce 
income, the Directors do not intend to recommend dividend payments to 
shareholders. 
 
 
During a period when the FTSE All Share Index fell by an exceptional 
32.7%, financial results for the six months ended 28 February 2009 include:

Commenting on the results, Peter Bailey, Chairman, said: 
 
 
"Economic and capital market conditions around the world have generally 
continued to deteriorate during the last six months, and indices for most of the 
major equity markets stand at lower levels than they did when the company was 
launched in 1996. TEP market prices have held up well relative to equities since 
August 2008 as investors view them as relatively safe investments, but poor 
investment returns for life funds mean that bonuses have seen some substantial 
cuts. Nevertheless despite experiencing some regrettable losses in NAV and share 
price our investors have been protected from the worst of the prevailing market 
conditions during this extraordinary period. 
 
 
 
 
As we near the liquidation of the company at the end of August, its investments 
are increasingly taking the form of cash related assets."

  CHAIRMAN'S STATEMENT 
 
 
Overview 
Economic and capital market conditions around the world have generally continued 
to deteriorate during the last six months. As I write, indices for most of the 
major equity markets stand at lower levels than they did when the Company was 
launched in the autumn of 1996, and the Bank of England base rate, at an 
all-time low of 0.5%, indicates the extreme measures the UK authorities are 
taking to stimulate growth. Traded Endowment Policy ("TEP") market prices have 
held up well relative to equities since August 2008, but poor investment returns 
for life funds mean that bonuses have seen some substantial cuts. However, as we 
are now quite close to the liquidation of the Company, its assets are 
increasingly taking the form of cash as policies mature. 
 
 
Economies and markets 
Growth has continued to weaken in all the major economies over the last six 
months, and the general view is that the recession is now likely to last longer 
than was foreseen last year. Forecasters currently estimate that global growth 
will slow to about 2% in 2009, compared to estimates of about 3% made in the 
autumn. By contrast, the UK economy, the worst hit of all major economies, is 
now forecast to contract by nearly 3% this year, compared to estimates of a 1% 
contraction made six months ago, and will probably struggle to make any growth 
in 2010. The latest "quantitative easing" measures adopted by the Bank of 
England to stimulate growth involve large purchases in the bond markets that 
should have the effect of supporting bond prices, but equity markets are likely 
to struggle for some time before making any sustained progress against the 
prevailing economic gloom. 
 
 
TEP market turnover continues to be fairly low. Some UK investors are still 
buying because they see TEPs as relatively safe investments in a world where 
financial markets have become much more volatile and uncertain, knowing they can 
rely on values supported by guaranteed sums assured and attaching bonuses. 
However, it is still overseas investors who are the main buyers, albeit on a 
more modest scale than last year. TEP price valuation, however, has probably 
become even more of an art than hitherto. Where funds are faced with substantial 
sales orders from investors wanting their money back, they are usually no longer 
able to sell blocks of TEPs as they used to do, and therefore have had to 
surrender policies to the issuing life offices. Unsurprisingly, in this climate, 
the quality of information available on TEP prices is limiting. 
 
 
 
 
Shareholder Returns 
During the six months to 28 February 2009 the Company's net asset value (NAV) 
decreased by 5.2%, and the share price fell by 14.6% from 128.75p to 110p, 
standing today at 118p. The latest available NAV, calculated as at 31 March 
2008, is 126.50p per share. By comparison, the FTSE All Share Index fell over 
the same period by an exceptional 32.7%, while the FTSE Actuaries British 
Government 5-15 Year Index, rose by 7.7%. 
 
 
The Life Assurance Industry 
Not much that has happened in the UK life insurance sector during the last six 
months is likely to have a significant impact on maturity payouts before the 31 
August 2009 year-end. To be sure, life office sales and profits are down, and 
the industry continues to rationalise because balance sheets are still under 
pressure, but the current financial environment presents new business 
opportunities as well as threats. We believe that those life funds that have 
weathered the storm well to date, and those that currently have an attractive 
mix of assets, are also the ones that should deliver the best returns to their 
policy holders. 
 
 
The FSA still monitors closely the solvency positions of life offices. It 
applies stress tests to balance sheets in order to simulate very severe stock 
market conditions, including further very large falls from current levels in 
equity and bond markets, and ensures that life companies have substantial 
reserves in place. 
 
 
Investment returns and bonuses 
Exceptional stock market conditions during the year mean that asset shares are 
at very low levels. The main bonus season in the first three months of 2008 gave 
a mixed picture across the sector, with some offices announcing small increases, 
and others small decreases. In contrast, the second half of the year generally 
saw large cuts, which had a negative impact on the Fund. Not surprisingly, bonus 
declarations this year have nearly all been negative, with typical reductions on 
an annualised basis of up to 15% of policy values. 
 
 
Capital Redemption and Liquidation 
The fourth capital redemption payment was made to shareholders on 3 September 
2008 at a price of 133p per share. The cash flow arising from the proceeds of 
maturity payouts has been invested in the BGI Liquidity Fund. 
It is planned that the Company will commence a voluntary liquidation soon after 
the 31 August 2009 year-end. Since all policies are scheduled to mature before 
31 August 2009, the Company should be entirely in cash related assets at the 
year end. As it is anticipated that the Liquidator will be able to make a 
significant first liquidation payment shortly after that date the Board has 
accordingly resolved not to make a 5th redemption payment. 
Outlook 
Although it is very likely that markets will continue to experience significant 
volatility during the current year, the outlook for the Company is limited to 
its final year end of 31 August and subsequent liquidation, a period during 
which, as already indicated, the company is increasingly in a cash only 
situation.
