| For each credit derivative with sold protection, the credit ratings of the entities referenced, as rated by any rating organization, are included in the equivalent S&P Global Ratings or Western Asset Management Company’s rating category, as applicable. The reference entity rating represents the likelihood of a potential payment by the Fund if the referenced entity experiences a credit event as of period end. Notional amounts represent the maximum potential amount of future payments (undiscounted) the Fund could be required to make under the credit derivatives with sold protection. |

MML Series Investment Fund II (the “Trust”) is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), as an open-end management investment company. The Trust is organized under the laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts as a Massachusetts business trust pursuant to an Agreement and Declaration of Trust dated February 8, 2005, which was amended and restated as of February 28, 2005 and December 15, 2011, as it may be further amended from time to time. The Trust consists of the following series (each individually referred to as a “Fund” or collectively as the “Funds”):
MML Blend Fund (“Blend Fund”)
MML Dynamic Bond Fund (“Dynamic Bond Fund”)
MML Equity Fund (“Equity Fund”)
MML Equity Rotation Fund (“Equity Rotation Fund”)
MML High Yield Fund (“High Yield Fund”)
MML Inflation-Protected and Income Fund (“Inflation-Protected and Income Fund”)
MML iShares® 60/40 Allocation Fund (“iShares 60/40 Allocation Fund”)
MML iShares® 80/20 Allocation Fund (“iShares 80/20 Allocation Fund”)
MML Managed Bond Fund (“Managed Bond Fund”)
MML Short-Duration Bond Fund (“Short-Duration Bond Fund”)
MML Small Cap Equity Fund (“Small Cap Equity Fund”)
MML Strategic Emerging Markets Fund (“Strategic Emerging Markets Fund”)
MML U.S. Government Money Market Fund (“U.S. Government Money Market Fund”)
The Trust makes shares of the Funds available for the investment of assets of various separate investment accounts established by Massachusetts Mutual Life Insurance Company (“MassMutual”) and by life insurance companies which are subsidiaries of MassMutual. Shares of the Trust are not offered to the general public. MassMutual, MML Bay State Life Insurance Company, C.M. Life Insurance Company, and the MML Conservative Allocation Fund, MML Balanced Allocation Fund, MML Moderate Allocation Fund, MML Growth Allocation Fund, and MML Aggressive Allocation Fund, which are “funds of funds” series of MML Series Investment Fund, another open-end management investment company sponsored by MassMutual, are the record owners of all of the outstanding shares of the Funds.
Each share class of a Fund represents an interest in the same portfolio of assets. The principal difference among the classes is the level of service and administration fees, and shareholder and distribution service expenses borne by the classes. Because each class will have different fees and expenses, performance and share prices will vary between the classes. The classes of shares are offered to different types of investors, as outlined in the Funds’ Prospectus.
The Blend Fund, iShares 60/40 Allocation Fund, and iShares 80/20 Allocation Fund invest substantially all of their investable assets in shares of ETFs advised by an affiliate of the Funds’ subadviser, BlackRock Investment Management, LLC (“Underlying ETFs”). The financial statements of the applicable Underlying ETFs are presented separately and can be obtained from the Securities and Exchange Commission’s (“SEC”) EDGAR database on its website at http://www.sec.gov.

| Significant Accounting Policies |
The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed consistently by each Fund in the preparation of the financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“generally accepted accounting principles”). The preparation of the financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Each Fund is an investment company and accordingly follows the investment company accounting and reporting guidance of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification Topic 946, Financial Services – Investment Companies.

Investment Valuation
The net asset value of each Fund’s shares is determined once daily as of the close of regular trading on the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”), on each day the NYSE is open for trading (a “business day”). The NYSE normally closes at 4:00 p.m. Eastern Time, but may close earlier on some days. If the NYSE is scheduled to close early, the business day will be considered to end as of the time of the NYSE’s scheduled close. A Fund will not treat an intraday disruption in NYSE trading or other event that causes an unscheduled closing of the NYSE as a close of business of the NYSE for these purposes; instead, MML Investment Advisers, LLC (“MML Advisers”) will determine the fair value of a Fund’s securities in accordance with MML Advisers’ fair valuation policy and procedures. On holidays and other days when the NYSE is closed, each Fund’s net asset value generally is not calculated and the Funds do not anticipate accepting buy or sell orders. However, the value of each Fund’s assets may still be affected on such days to the extent that a Fund holds foreign securities that trade on days that foreign securities markets are open.
Equity securities and derivative contracts that are actively traded on a national securities exchange or contract market are valued on the basis of information furnished by a pricing service, which provides the last reported sale price, or, in the case of futures contracts, the settlement price, for securities or derivatives listed on the exchange or contract market or the official closing price on the NASDAQ National Market System (“NASDAQ System”), or in the case of over-the-counter (“OTC”) securities for which an official closing price is unavailable or not reported on the NASDAQ System, the last reported bid price. Portfolio securities traded on more than one national securities exchange are valued at the last price at the close of the exchange representing the principal market for such securities. Debt securities (with the exception of debt securities held by the U.S. Government Money Market Fund) are valued on the basis of valuations furnished by a pricing service, which generally determines valuations taking into account factors such as institutional-size trading in similar securities, yield, quality, coupon rate, maturity, type of issue, trading characteristics, and other market data. Shares of other open-end mutual funds are valued at their closing net asset values as reported on each business day. The U.S. Government Money Market Fund’s debt securities are typically valued at amortized cost, but may be valued using a vendor quote if MML Advisers determines it more closely approximates current market value, in accordance with Rule 2a-7 under the 1940 Act pursuant to which the U.S. Government Money Market Fund must adhere to certain conditions. It is the intention of the U.S. Government Money Market Fund to maintain a stable net asset value per share of $1.00, although this cannot be assured.
Investments for which market quotations are readily available are marked to market daily based on those quotations. Market quotations may be provided by third-party vendors or market makers, and may be determined on the basis of a variety of factors, such as broker quotations, financial modeling, and other market data, such as market indexes and yield curves, counterparty information, and foreign exchange rates. U.S. Government and agency securities may be valued on the basis of market quotations or using a model that may incorporate market observable data such as reported sales of similar securities, broker quotes, yields, bids, offers, quoted market prices, and reference data. The fair values of OTC derivative contracts, including forward, swap, and option contracts related to interest rates, foreign currencies, credit standing of reference entities, equity prices, or commodity prices, may be based on market quotations or may be modeled using a series of techniques, including simulation models, depending on the contract and the terms of the transaction. The fair values of asset-backed securities and mortgage-backed securities are estimated based on models that consider the estimated cash flows of each debt tranche of the issuer, established benchmark yield, and estimated tranche-specific spread to the benchmark yield based on the unique attributes of the tranche, including, but not limited to, prepayment speed assumptions and attributes of the collateral.
The Board of Trustees (“Trustees”) have designated MML Advisers as the Funds’ “valuation designee,” responsible for determining the fair value, in good faith, of securities and other instruments held by the Funds for which market quotations are not readily available or for which such market quotations or values are considered by MML Advisers or a subadviser to be unreliable (including, for example, certain foreign securities, thinly-traded securities, certain restricted securities, certain initial public offerings, or securities whose values may have been affected by a significant event). It is possible that a significant amount of a Fund’s assets will be subject to fair valuation in accordance with MML Advisers’ fair valuation policy and procedures. The fair value determined for an investment by MML Advisers may differ from recent market prices for the investment and may be significantly different from the value realized upon the sale of such investment.
The Funds may invest in securities that are traded principally in foreign markets and that trade on weekends and other days when the Funds do not price their shares. As a result, the values of the Funds’ portfolio securities may change on days when the prices of the Funds’ shares are not calculated. The prices of the Funds’ shares will reflect any such changes when the prices of the Funds’ shares are next calculated, which is the next business day. The Funds may use fair value pricing more frequently for securities

primarily traded in foreign markets because, among other things, most foreign markets close well before the Funds value their securities. The earlier close of these foreign markets gives rise to the possibility that significant events, including broad market moves, may have occurred in the interim. The Funds’ investments may be priced based on fair values provided by a third-party vendor, based on certain factors and methodologies applied by such vendor, in the event that there is movement in the U.S. market, between the close of the foreign market and the time the Funds calculate their net asset values. All assets and liabilities expressed in foreign currencies are converted into U.S. dollars at the mean between the buying and selling rates of such currencies against the U.S. dollar at the end of each business day.
Investments in equity or debt issued by privately held companies or funds (“Private Company” or collectively, the “Private Companies”) and any other investments fair valued using significant unobservable inputs may be fair valued using alternate valuation approaches including the following:
Market approach: considers factors including the price of recent investments in the same or similar security or financial metrics of comparable securities.
Income approach: considers factors including expected future cash flows, security specific risks, and corresponding discount rates.
Cost approach: considers factors including the value of the security’s underlying assets and liabilities.
Investments in series of preferred stock issued by Private Companies are typically valued utilizing the Market approach in determining the enterprise value of the company. Such investments often contain rights and preferences that differ from other series of preferred and common stock of the same issuer. Valuation techniques such as the current value method (“CVM”), an option pricing model (“OPM”), a probability weighted expected return model (“PWERM”), or a hybrid of those techniques are used in allocating enterprise value of the company, as deemed appropriate under the circumstances. The CVM allocates value among the various parts of a company’s capital structure assuming that the value of convertible preferred stock is represented by the most favorable claim the preferred stockholders have on the enterprise value as of the valuation date. The use of OPM and PWERM techniques involve a determination of the exit scenarios of the investment in order to appropriately allocate the enterprise value of the company among the various parts of its capital structure.
The Private Companies are not subject to the public company disclosure, timing, and reporting standards as other investments held by a Fund. Typically, the most recently available information for a Private Company is as of a date that is earlier than the date a Fund is calculating its net asset value. This factor may result in a difference between the value of the investment and the price a Fund could receive upon the sale of the investment.
Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. A three-tier hierarchy is utilized to maximize the use of observable market data inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs and to establish classification of fair value measurements for disclosure purposes. Inputs refer broadly to the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability, including assumptions about risk, for example, the risk inherent in a particular valuation technique used to measure fair value (such as a pricing model) and/or the risk inherent in the inputs to the valuation technique. Inputs may be observable or unobservable. Observable inputs are inputs that reflect the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability and are developed based on market data obtained from sources independent of the reporting entity. Unobservable inputs are inputs that reflect the reporting entity’s own assumptions about the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability and are developed based on the best information available in the circumstances. The three-tier hierarchy of inputs is summarized in the three broad Levels listed below. The inputs or methodology used for valuing investments are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those investments and the determination of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement in its entirety requires judgment and consideration of factors specific to each security.
Level 1 – quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical investments that the Funds can access at the measurement date
Level 2 – other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar investments, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.)
Level 3 – significant unobservable inputs, to the extent observable inputs are not available (including the Funds’ own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments)
TABLE OF CONTENTS
| Notes to Financial Statements (Unaudited) (Continued) | |
The availability of observable inputs can vary from security to security and is affected by a wide variety of factors, including, for example, the type of security, whether the security is new and not yet established in the marketplace, the liquidity of markets, and other characteristics particular to the security. To the extent that valuation is based on models or inputs that are less observable or unobservable in the market, the determination of fair value requires more judgment. Accordingly, the degree of judgment exercised in determining fair value is greatest for instruments categorized in Level 3.
Changes in valuation techniques may result in transfers in or out of an investment’s assigned Level within the hierarchy. In addition, in periods of market dislocation, the observability of prices and inputs may be reduced for many instruments. This condition, as well as changes related to liquidity of investments, could cause a security to be reclassified between Levels.
In certain cases, the inputs used to measure fair value may fall into different Levels of the fair value hierarchy. In such cases, for disclosure purposes, the Level in the fair value hierarchy within which the fair value measurement falls is determined based on the lowest Level input that is significant to the overall fair value measurement.
The iShares 60/40 Allocation Fund characterized all investments at Level 1, as of June 30, 2024. The Equity Fund and Small Cap Equity Fund characterized all long-term investments at Level 1, and all short-term investments at Level 2, as of June 30, 2024. The U.S. Government Money Market Fund characterized all investments at Level 2, as of June 30, 2024. For each Fund noted in the preceding sentences, the level classification by major category of investments is the same as the category presentation in the Portfolio of Investments.
The following is the aggregate value by input level, as of June 30, 2024, for the remaining Funds’ investments:

For certain Fund(s) the Statement of Assets and Liabilities shows receivables from investments sold on a delayed delivery basis, as well as any applicable liabilities for investments purchased on a delayed delivery basis, amounts due to custodian, and payables for forward sale commitments. These amounts approximate fair value and would be categorized at Level 2 for each applicable Fund as of June 30, 2024.
The Funds had no Level 3 transfers during the period ended June 30, 2024.
Following is a reconciliation of investments for which significant unobservable inputs (Level 3) were used in determining value:

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
The Inflation-Protected and Income Fund may fair value certain of its Level 3 investments using acquisition cost, although the transaction may not have occurred during the current reporting period. These investments are generally privately held investments, but may include defaulted securities and new debt issuances. There may not be a secondary market for such investments, and/or there are a limited number of investors. The determination to fair value such investments at cost is based upon factors consistent with the principles of fair value measurement that are reasonably available to the valuation designee. Valuations are reviewed by the valuation designee utilizing available market information to determine if the carrying value of these investments should be adjusted. Such market data may include, but is not limited to, observations of the trading multiples of public companies considered comparable to the private companies being valued, financial or operational information released by the company, and/or news or corporate events that affect the investment, also referred to as enterprise value (EV) to earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation,

and amortization (EBITDA) ratios. Valuations may be adjusted to account for company-specific issues, the lack of liquidity inherent in a nonpublic investment, and the fact that comparable public companies are not identical to the investments being fair valued by the Inflation-Protected and Income Fund. All market variables are assessed on a regular frequency and calibrated as necessary.
The table excludes securities which were classified as level 3 based upon a broker quote.

Derivative Instruments
Derivatives are financial instruments whose values are based on the values of one or more underlying indicators, such as a security, asset, currency, interest rate, or index. Derivative transactions can create investment leverage and may be highly volatile. Losses from derivatives can be substantially greater than the derivatives’ original cost and can sometimes be unlimited. A Fund may not be able to close out a derivative transaction at a favorable time or price.
At June 30, 2024, and during the period then ended, the Fund(s) had the following derivatives and transactions in derivatives, grouped into the indicated risk categories:

| As applicable, amount(s) disclosed represent average number of contracts for futures contracts, notional amounts for purchased swaptions and written swaptions, forward contracts, and swap agreements, or shares/units outstanding for purchased options and written options, based on absolute values, which is indicative of volume of this derivative type, for the months that the Fund held such derivatives during the period ended June 30, 2024. |
The Portfolio of Investments included in a Fund’s financial statements shows the assets or liabilities of the Fund associated with individual derivatives transactions. The terms of many of those transactions contemplate that derivatives receivables and payables between the same two parties may be netted and that the parties will collateralize certain obligations. The following tables provide an illustration of the possible effect of netting provisions and of collateral (delivered or received) on a Fund’s derivatives exposure as of June 30, 2024. Netting arrangements vary among different counterparties, and the actual disposition of derivatives receivables and payables, and of collateral, in a bankruptcy or insolvency can be complicated and difficult to predict.
The following table presents derivative assets by counterparty net of amounts available for offset under a master netting agreement (“MNA”) or similar agreement and net of the related collateral received by the Fund(s) as of June 30, 2024.

Foreign Currency Exchange Transactions
A Fund may enter into foreign currency exchange transactions for hedging purposes in order to protect against uncertainty in the level of future foreign currency exchange rates, or for other, non-hedging purposes.
A Fund may enter into foreign currency exchange transactions, including foreign currency forward contracts. These contracts call for the Fund to deliver in the future an amount of one currency in return for an amount of another currency, at an exchange rate determined at the time the contract is entered into. Forward contracts are private contractual arrangements and a Fund is subject to the risk that its counterparty will not, or will not be able to, perform its obligations. This type of arrangement may require the Fund to post margin. A Fund may also buy and sell options on currencies. When the Fund buys an option, its loss should generally be limited to the amount of the premium paid and any transaction costs. If a Fund sells an option on a currency, it is subject generally to the same risks as if it had entered into a futures contract or forward contract with respect to that currency. A Fund may enter into foreign currency exchange transactions in order to hedge against changes in the values of the assets or liabilities denominated in one or more foreign currencies, or otherwise to increase or reduce a Fund’s exposure to various foreign currencies. The use of foreign currency exchange transactions may create investment leverage.
Whenever a Fund enters into a foreign currency exchange transaction, it is subject to the risk that the value of the transaction will move in a direction unfavorable to it. When the Fund uses the transactions for hedging purposes, it is likely that the Fund will have an asset or liability that will offset any loss (or gain) on the transactions, at least in part. If a Fund enters into foreign currency exchange transactions other than for hedging purposes (for example, seeking to profit from an anticipated change in the values of
TABLE OF CONTENTS
| Notes to Financial Statements (Unaudited) (Continued) | |
currencies by creating directional exposures in the portfolio with respect to one or more currencies), it will generally be subject to the same risks, but is less likely to have assets or liabilities that will offset any losses on the transactions. There can be no assurance that a Fund will be able to terminate any foreign currency exchange transaction prior to its maturity in order to limit its loss on the transaction.
Forward foreign currency contracts are marked to market daily and the change in their value is recorded by the Funds as an unrealized gain or loss. Forward foreign currency contracts are valued at the settlement price established through dealers or other market sources on the day which they are traded. When a forward foreign currency contract is extinguished, through delivery or offset by entering into another forward foreign currency contract, the Funds record a realized gain or loss equal to the difference between the value of the contract at the time it was opened and the value of the contract at the time it was extinguished or offset. The notional or contractual amounts of these instruments do not necessarily represent the amounts potentially subject to risk. The measurement of the risk associated with these instruments is meaningful only when all related and offsetting transactions and counterparty risks are considered. For information regarding the accounting treatment of options, see “Options, Rights, and Warrants” below.
A Fund’s current exposure to a counterparty is the unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on the contract.
Futures Contracts
A Fund may seek to manage a variety of different risks, such as interest rate risk, equity price risk, and currency risk, through the use of futures contracts and related options.
Futures Contracts. A Fund may use interest rate futures contracts to adjust the interest rate sensitivity (duration) of its portfolio or the credit exposure of the portfolio. Interest rate futures contracts obligate the long or short holder to take or make delivery of a specified quantity of a financial instrument, such as a specific fixed income security, during a specified future period at a specified price. A Fund may use index futures contracts to hedge against broad market risks to its portfolio or to gain broad market exposure when it holds uninvested cash or as an inexpensive substitute for cash investments directly in securities or other assets, including commodities and precious metals. Securities index futures contracts are contracts to buy or sell units of a securities index at a specified future date at a price agreed upon when the contract is made and are settled in cash. Positions in futures contracts may be closed out only on an exchange or board of trade which provides a market for such futures. Because futures contracts are exchange-traded, they typically have minimal exposure to counterparty risk.
Parties to a futures contract are not required to post the entire notional amount of the contract, but rather a small percentage of that amount (by way of margin), both at the time they enter into futures transactions, and then on a daily basis if their positions decline in value; as a result, futures contracts are highly leveraged. Such payments are known as variation margin and are recorded by the Funds as unrealized gains or losses. Because futures markets are highly leveraged, they can be extremely volatile, and there can be no assurance that the pricing of a futures contract will correlate precisely with the pricing of the asset or index underlying it or the asset or liability of the Fund that is the subject of the hedge. It may not always be possible for a Fund to enter into a closing transaction with respect to a futures contract it has entered into, at a favorable time or price. When a Fund enters into a futures transaction, it is subject to the risk that the value of the futures contract will move in a direction unfavorable to it. When a Fund uses futures contracts for hedging purposes, it is likely that the Fund will have an asset or liability that will offset any loss (or gain) on the transactions, at least in part.
Options on Futures Contracts. If a Fund buys an option on a futures contract, it will have the right to assume a futures contract at a particular price during the course of the option. Its potential loss should generally be limited to the amount of the premium paid and any transaction costs. If a Fund sells an option on a futures contract, it is subject generally to the same risks as if it had entered into a futures contract underlying the option itself.
When a futures contract is closed, the Fund records a realized gain or loss equal to the difference between the value of the contract at the time it was opened and the value at the time it was closed. Futures contracts are valued at the settlement price established each day by the board of trade or exchange on which they are traded. For information regarding the accounting treatment of options, see “Options, Rights, and Warrants” below.

Swap Agreements
Swap agreements are typically two-party contracts entered into primarily by institutional investors. In a standard “swap” transaction, two parties agree to exchange the returns (or differentials in rates of return) earned or realized on particular predetermined investments or instruments or rates, which may be adjusted for an interest factor. The gross returns to be exchanged or “swapped” between the parties are generally calculated with respect to a “notional amount,” (i.e., the return on or increase in value of a particular dollar amount invested at a particular interest rate or in a “basket” of securities representing a particular index).
Interest Rate Swaps. When a Fund enters into an interest rate swap, it typically agrees to make payments to its counterparty based on a specified long- or short-term interest rate, and will receive payments from its counterparty based on another interest rate. Other forms of interest rate swap agreements include, among others, interest rate caps, under which, in return for a specified payment stream, one party agrees to make payments to the other to the extent that interest rates exceed a specified rate, or “cap”; interest rate floors, under which, in return for a specified payment stream, one party agrees to make payments to the other to the extent that interest rates fall below a specified rate, or “floor”; and interest rate collars, under which a party sells a cap and purchases a floor or vice versa in an attempt to protect itself against interest rate movements exceeding given minimum or maximum levels. A Fund may enter into an interest rate swap in order, for example, to hedge against the effect of interest rate changes on the value of specific securities in its portfolio, or to adjust the interest rate sensitivity (duration) or the credit exposure of its portfolio overall, or otherwise as a substitute for a direct investment in debt securities.
Total Return Swaps. A Fund also may enter into total return swaps. In a total return swap, one party typically agrees to pay to the other a short-term interest rate in return for a payment at one or more times in the future based on the increase in the value of an underlying security or other asset, or index of securities or assets; if the underlying security, asset, or index declines in value, the party that pays the short-term interest rate must also pay to its counterparty a payment based on the amount of the decline. A Fund may take either side of such a swap, and so may take a long or short position in the underlying security, asset, or index. A Fund may enter into a total return swap to hedge against an exposure in its portfolio — such as interest rate risk (including to adjust the duration or credit quality of a Fund’s bond portfolio), equity risk, or credit risk — or generally to put cash to work efficiently in the markets in anticipation of, or as a replacement for, cash investments. A Fund may also enter into a total return swap to gain exposure to securities or markets in which it might not be able to invest directly (in so-called market access transactions).
Credit Default Swaps. A Fund also may enter into credit default swap transactions, as a “buyer” or “seller” of credit protection. In a credit default swap, one party provides what is in effect insurance against a default or other adverse credit event affecting an issuer of debt securities (typically referred to as a “reference entity”). In general, the buyer of credit protection is obligated to pay the protection seller an upfront amount or a periodic stream of payments over the term of the swap. If a “credit event” occurs, the buyer has the right to deliver to the seller bonds or other obligations of the reference entity (with a value up to the full notional value of the swap), and to receive a payment equal to the par value of the bonds or other obligations. Credit events that would trigger a request that the seller make payment are specific to each credit default swap agreement, but generally include bankruptcy, failure to pay, restructuring, acceleration, default, or repudiation/moratorium. When a Fund buys protection, it may or may not own securities of the reference entity. If it does own securities of the reference entity, the swap serves as a hedge against a decline in the value of the securities due to the occurrence of a credit event involving the issuer of the securities. If the Fund does not own securities of the reference entity, the credit default swap may be seen to create a short position in the reference entity. If a Fund is a buyer and no credit event occurs, the Fund will typically recover nothing under the swap, but will have had to pay the required upfront payment and stream of continuing payments under the swap. When a Fund sells protection under a credit default swap, the position may have the effect of creating leverage in the Fund’s portfolio through the Fund’s indirect long exposure to the issuer or securities on which the swap is written. When a Fund sells protection, it may do so either to earn additional income or to create a “synthetic” long position.
Whenever a Fund enters into a swap agreement, it takes on counterparty risk — the risk that its counterparty will be unable or unwilling to meet its obligations under the swap agreement. The Fund also takes the risk that the market will move against its position in the swap agreement. In the case of an interest rate swap, the value of the swap may increase or decrease depending on changes in interest rates. In the case of a total return swap, the swap will change in value depending on the change in value of the asset or index on which the swap is written. In the case of a credit default swap, the swap will become more or less valuable depending on the credit of the issuer of the underlying security, and, if a credit event occurs under a swap where the Fund is the seller of credit protection, the Fund could be required to purchase the security at par value, resulting in a significant loss to the Fund.

| Notes to Financial Statements (Unaudited) (Continued) | |
When the Fund enters into any type of swap for hedging purposes, it is likely that the Fund will have an asset or liability that will offset any loss (or gain) on the swap, at least in part. Swap agreements may be non-transferable or otherwise highly illiquid, and a Fund may not be able to terminate or transfer a swap agreement at any particular time or at an acceptable price.
Swaptions. A Fund may also enter into options on swap agreements (“swaptions”). A swaption is a contract that gives a counterparty the right (but not the obligation) to enter into a new swap agreement or to shorten, extend, cancel, or otherwise modify an existing swap agreement, at some designated future time on specified terms. A Fund may write (sell) and purchase put and call swaptions. Depending on the terms of the particular option agreement, a Fund will generally incur a greater degree of risk when it writes a swaption than it will incur when it purchases a swaption. When a Fund purchases a swaption, it risks losing only the amount of the premium it has paid should it decide to let the option expire unexercised. However, when a Fund writes a swaption, upon exercise of the option the Fund will become obligated according to the terms of the underlying agreement. A Fund may enter into swaptions for the same purposes as swaps. For information regarding the accounting treatment of options, see “Options, Rights, and Warrants” below.
Centrally Cleared Swaps. Certain clearinghouses currently offer clearing for limited types of derivatives transactions, principally certain interest rate swaps, certain index swaps, and credit derivatives. In a cleared derivative transaction, a Fund typically enters into the transaction with a financial institution counterparty, and performance of the transaction is effectively guaranteed by a central clearinghouse, thereby reducing or eliminating the Fund’s exposure to the credit risk of its original counterparty. The Fund will be required to post amounts (“initial margin”) with the clearinghouse or at the instruction of the clearinghouse. The initial margin required by a clearinghouse may be greater than the initial margin the Fund would be required to post in an uncleared transaction. If cash is deposited as the initial margin, it is shown as collateral on a Fund’s Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Swap agreements are marked to market daily and subsequent payments (“variation margin”) are made or received by a Fund depending on whether unrealized gains or losses are incurred. These amounts are reflected as receivables or payables on a Fund’s Statement of Assets and Liabilities (“Variation margin on open derivative instruments”) and as a component of net change in unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on a Fund’s Statement of Operations. Only a limited number of transaction types are currently eligible for clearing.
During the term of a swap transaction, changes in the value of the swap are recognized as unrealized gains or losses by marking to market to reflect the market value of the swap. When the swap is terminated, a Fund will record a realized gain or loss equal to the difference, if any, between the proceeds from (or cost of) the closing transaction and a Fund’s basis in the agreement. Upfront swap premium payments paid or received by a Fund, if any, are recorded within the value of the open swap agreement on the Fund’s Statement of Assets and Liabilities and represent payments paid or received upon entering into the swap agreement to compensate for differences between stated terms of the swap agreement and prevailing market conditions (credit spreads, currency exchange rates, and other relevant factors). These upfront payments are recorded as realized gain or loss on the Fund’s Statement of Operations upon termination or maturity of the swap agreement.
During the term of a swap transaction, the periodic net payments can be made for a set period of time or may be triggered by a predetermined credit event. The net periodic payments may be based on a fixed or variable interest rate, the change in market value of a specified security, basket of securities or index, or the return generated by a security. These periodic payments received or made by the Funds are recorded in the accompanying Statements of Operations as realized gains and losses, respectively.
A Fund’s current exposure to a counterparty is the fair value of the transaction.
Options, Rights, and Warrants
A Fund may purchase and sell put and call options on portfolio securities or an index of securities to enhance investment performance or to protect against changes in market prices. A Fund that invests in debt securities may also purchase and sell put and call options to adjust the interest rate sensitivity of its portfolio or the credit exposure of the portfolio.
Call Options. A call option gives the holder the right to purchase, and obligates the writer to sell, a security at the strike price at any time before the expiration date in the case of an American-style option or only on the expiration date in the case of a European-style option.
TABLE OF CONTENTS
| Notes to Financial Statements (Unaudited) (Continued) | |
Put Options. A put option gives the holder the right to sell, and obligates the writer to buy, a security at the exercise price.
Writing put and call options. A Fund may write call options on a security it owns, in a “directional” strategy hoping to realize a greater current return through the receipt of premiums. In return for the option premium, the Fund takes the risk that it will have to forego any increase in the value of the security over the strike price. When a Fund has written a call option on a security it does not own, its exposure on such an option is theoretically unlimited. A Fund may enter into closing purchase transactions in order to realize a profit or limit a loss on a previously written call option or, in the case of a call option on a security it owns, to free itself to sell the underlying security or to write another call on the security, or protect a security from being called in an unexpected market rise. Any profits from a closing purchase transaction in the case of a call option on a security a Fund owns may be offset by a decline in the value of the underlying security. Conversely, because increases in the market price of a call option will generally reflect increases in the market price of the underlying security, any loss resulting from a closing purchase transaction relating to a call option on a security a Fund owns is likely to be offset in whole or in part by unrealized appreciation of the underlying security owned by the Fund. A Fund may not be able to close out a call option that it has previously written. A Fund may write put options in order to enhance its current return by taking a long directional position as to a security or index of securities. By writing a put option, the Fund assumes the risk that it may be required to purchase the underlying security for an exercise price higher than its then current market value, resulting in a potential capital loss unless the security later appreciates in value. A Fund may terminate a put option that it has written before it expires by entering into a closing purchase transaction. Any loss from this transaction may be partially or entirely offset by the premium received on the terminated option. A Fund may not be able to close out a put option that it has previously written.
When a Fund writes a call or put option, an amount equal to the premium received is recorded as a liability. Premiums received from writing options which expire are treated as realized gains. Premiums received from writing options which are exercised or closed are added to the proceeds or offset against the amount paid on the underlying investment to determine the realized gain or loss.
Purchasing put and call options. A Fund may purchase put options to protect portfolio holdings against a decline in market value of a security or securities held by it. A Fund may also purchase a put option hoping to profit from an anticipated decline in the value of the underlying security. If the Fund holds the security underlying the option, the option premium and any transaction costs will reduce any profit the Fund might have realized had it sold the underlying security instead of buying the put option. A Fund may purchase call options to hedge against an increase in the price of securities that the Fund wants ultimately to buy. A Fund may also purchase a call option as a long directional investment hoping to profit from an anticipated increase in the value of the underlying security. In order for a call option to be profitable, the market price of the underlying security must rise sufficiently above the exercise price to cover the premium and transaction costs. These costs will reduce any profit the Fund might have realized had it bought the underlying security at the time it purchased the call option.
When a Fund purchases an option, it runs the risk that it will lose its entire investment in the option in a relatively short period of time, unless the Fund exercises the option or enters into a closing sale transaction before the option’s expiration. If the price of the underlying security does not rise (in the case of a call) or fall (in the case of a put) to an extent sufficient to cover the option premium and transaction costs, the Fund will lose part or all of its investment in the option. This contrasts with an investment by a Fund in the underlying security, since the Fund will not realize a loss if the security’s price does not change. Premiums paid for purchasing options that expire are treated as realized losses.
Exchange Traded Options. Exchange traded options purchased or sold by a Fund may be traded on a securities or options exchange or market. Such options typically have minimal exposure to counterparty risk. However, an exchange or market may at times find it necessary to impose restrictions on particular types of options transactions, such as opening transactions. If an underlying security ceases to meet qualifications imposed by the market or the Options Clearing Corporation, new series of options on that security will no longer be opened to replace expiring series, and opening transactions in existing series may be prohibited. Exchange traded options are valued at the last sale price, or if no sales are reported, the last bid price.
OTC Options. OTC options purchased or sold by a Fund are not traded on securities or options exchanges or backed by clearinghouses. Rather, they are entered into directly between a Fund and the counterparty to the option. In the case of an OTC option purchased by the Fund, the value of the option to the Fund will depend on the willingness and ability of the option writer to perform its obligations to the Fund. In addition, OTC options may not be transferable and there may be little or no secondary

| Notes to Financial Statements (Unaudited) (Continued) | |
market for them, so they may be considered illiquid. It may not be possible to enter into closing transactions with respect to OTC options or otherwise to terminate such options, and as a result a Fund may be required to remain obligated on an unfavorable OTC option until its expiration. OTC options are valued using prices supplied by a primary pricing source, selected pursuant to procedures approved by the Trustees.
Rights and Warrants. A Fund may purchase or hold warrants or rights in order to gain exposure to the underlying security without owning the security, including, for example, cases where the Fund hopes to lock in the price today of a security it may wish to purchase in the future. Warrants generally give the holder the right, but not the obligation, to buy a security at a stated price. In order for a warrant to be profitable, the market price of the underlying security must rise sufficiently above the exercise price to cover any premium and transaction costs. Rights may similarly confer on the holder the right to purchase or acquire securities, including through participation in a so-called rights offering. Bonds may be issued with warrants or other rights attached to purchase or acquire equity or other debt securities, typically of the bond issuer. The market prices of bonds with warrants or rights attached to purchase equity securities or bonds may, to some degree, reflect changes in the values of the underlying securities.
When a Fund purchases or otherwise acquires warrants or other rights, it runs the risk that it will lose its entire investment in the warrants or rights, unless the Fund exercises the warrant or right, acquires the underlying securities, or enters into a closing transaction before expiration. If the price of the underlying security does not rise to an extent sufficient to cover any premium and transaction costs, the Fund will lose part or all of its investment. Any premiums or purchase price paid for warrants or other rights that expire are treated as realized losses. Warrants and similar rights differ from options in that they are typically written by the issuer of the security underlying the warrant or right. Although some warrants and rights may be non-transferable, others may be traded over-the-counter or on an exchange.
Hybrid Instruments
A hybrid instrument may be a debt security, preferred stock, warrant, convertible security, certificate of deposit, or other evidence of indebtedness on which a portion of or all interest payments, and/or the principal or stated amount payable at maturity, redemption, or retirement, is determined by reference to one or more underlying assets, indexes, economic factors, or other benchmarks. Because hybrid instruments may be designed to provide indirect exposures to virtually any type of derivative instrument, a Fund may invest in a hybrid instrument for any purpose it might engage in derivatives transactions. Hybrid instruments may take a number of forms, including, for example, debt instruments with interest or principal payments or redemption terms determined by reference to the value of an index, security, or other measure at a future time, preferred stock with dividend rates determined by reference to the value of a currency, or convertible securities where the conversion terms relate to a particular commodity. The risks of investing in a hybrid instrument may, depending on the nature of the instrument, reflect a combination of the risks of investing in securities, options, futures, currencies or other types of investments, and will depend upon the terms of the instrument. Such risks generally depend upon factors unrelated to the operations or credit quality of the issuer of the hybrid instrument, and may not be foreseen by the purchaser, such as financial or market developments, economic and political events, the supply and demand of the underlying assets, and interest rate movements. Hybrid instruments may be highly volatile and their use by a Fund may not be successful. The terms of a hybrid instrument may create investment leverage. Hybrid instruments are typically privately issued, presenting credit risk of the issuer, and may be highly illiquid and difficult to value.
Inflation-Linked Securities
Inflation-linked securities are typically fixed income securities whose principal values are periodically adjusted according to a measure of inflation. If the index measuring inflation falls, the principal value of an inflation-linked security will be adjusted downward, and consequently the interest payable on the security (calculated with respect to a smaller principal amount) will be reduced. Repayment of the original principal of the security upon maturity (as adjusted for inflation) is guaranteed in the case of U.S. Treasury inflation-linked securities. For securities that do not provide a similar guarantee, the adjusted principal value of the security repaid at maturity may be less than the original principal.
Alternatively, the interest rates payable on certain inflation-linked securities may be adjusted according to a measure of inflation. As a result, the principal values of such securities do not adjust according to the rate of inflation, although the interest payable on such securities may decline during times of falling inflation.
TABLE OF CONTENTS
| Notes to Financial Statements (Unaudited) (Continued) | |
The values of inflation-linked securities are expected to change in response to changes in real interest rates. Real interest rates are tied to the relationship between nominal interest rates and the rate of inflation. If nominal interest rates increase at a faster rate than inflation, real interest rates may rise, leading to a decrease in value of inflation-linked securities. Inflation-linked securities may cause a potential cash flow mismatch to investors, because an increase in the principal amount of an inflation-linked security will be treated as interest income currently subject to tax at ordinary income rates even though investors will not receive repayment of principal until maturity. If a Fund invests in such securities, it will be required to distribute such interest income in order to qualify for treatment as a regulated investment company and eliminate the Fund-level tax, without a corresponding receipt of cash, and therefore may be required to dispose of portfolio securities at a time when it may not be advantageous to do so in order to make such distributions.
Bank Loans
A Fund may invest in bank loans including, for example, corporate loans, loan participations, direct debt, bank debt, and bridge debt. A Fund may invest in a loan by lending money to a borrower directly as part of a syndicate of lenders. In a syndicated loan, the agent that originated and structured the loan typically administers and enforces the loan on behalf of the syndicate. Failure by the agent to fulfill its obligations may delay or adversely affect receipt of payment by a Fund. A Fund may also invest in loans through novations, assignments, and participation interests. In a novation, a Fund typically assumes all of the rights of a lending institution in a loan, including the right to receive payments of principal and interest and other amounts directly from the borrower and to enforce its rights as a lender directly against the borrower. When a Fund takes an assignment of a loan, the Fund acquires some or all of the interest of another lender (or assignee) in the loan. In such cases, the Fund may be required generally to rely upon the assignor to demand payment and enforce rights under the loan. If a Fund acquires a participation in the loan, the Fund purchases an indirect interest in a loan held by a third party and the Fund typically will have a contractual relationship only with the third-party loan investor, not with the borrower. As a result, a Fund may have the right to receive payments of principal, interest, and any fees to which it is entitled only from the loan investor selling the participation and only upon receipt by such loan investor of such payments from the borrower. In such cases, a Fund assumes the credit risk of both the borrower and the loan investor selling the participation, and the Fund may be unable to realize some or all of the value of its interest in the loan in the event of the insolvency of the third party.
Changes in the financial condition of the borrower or economic conditions or other circumstances may reduce the capacity of the borrower to make principal and interest payments on such instruments and may lead to defaults. The value of any collateral securing a bank loan may decline after the Fund invests, and there is a risk that the value of the collateral may not be sufficient to cover the amount owed to the Fund.
Certain Funds may receive or pay fees associated with investments in bank loans. These fees are included as interest income on a Fund’s Statement of Operations. These fees include all income and expenses associated with the processing and maintenance of these types of loans, including but not limited to consent fee income, amendment fees, and closing fees.
At June 30, 2024, the Funds had no unfunded bank loan commitments.
Repurchase Agreements
Each Fund may enter into repurchase agreements with certain banks and broker-dealers whereby a Fund acquires a security for cash and obtains a simultaneous commitment from the seller to repurchase the security at an agreed upon price and date. A Fund, through its custodian, takes possession of the securities collateralizing the repurchase agreement in a segregated account. Repurchase agreements must be fully collateralized at all times, but involve some risk to a Fund if the other party should default on its obligation and the Fund is delayed or prevented from recovering the collateral, or if the Fund is required to return collateral to a borrower at a time when it may realize a loss on the investment of that collateral. Collateral for certain tri-party repurchase agreements is held at the Fund’s custodian or sub-custodian in a segregated account for the benefit of the Fund and the counterparty.
When-Issued, Delayed-Delivery, Forward Commitment, and To-Be-Announced Transactions
A Fund may enter into when-issued, delayed-delivery, forward commitment, or to-be-announced (“TBA”) transactions (collectively, the “Forward Transactions”) in order to lock in the purchase price of the underlying security, or in order to adjust the interest rate exposure of the Fund’s existing portfolio. In Forward Transactions, a Fund commits to purchase or sell particular

securities, with payment and delivery to take place at a future date. In the case of TBA purchase commitments, the unit price and the estimated principal amount are established when the Fund enters into a commitment, with the actual principal amount being within a specified range of the estimate. Although a Fund does not typically pay for the securities in these types of transactions until they are delivered, it immediately assumes the risks of ownership, including the risk of price fluctuation. As a result, each of these types of transactions may create investment leverage in a Fund’s portfolio and increase the volatility of the Fund. If a Fund’s counterparty fails to deliver a security purchased in a Forward Transaction, there may be a loss, and the Fund may have missed an opportunity to make an alternative investment.
These securities are valued on the basis of valuations furnished by a pricing service, selected pursuant to procedures approved by the Trustees, which determines valuations taking into account appropriate factors such as institutional-size trading in similar groups of securities, yield, quality, coupon rate, maturity, type of issue, trading characteristics, and other market data. Securities for which no market quotation is available are valued at fair value by MML Advisers. A Fund records on a daily basis the unrealized appreciation (depreciation) based upon changes in the values of these securities. When a Forward Transaction is closed, a Fund records a realized gain or loss equal to the difference between the value of the transaction at the time it was opened and the value of the transaction at the time it was closed.
Dollar Roll Transactions
A Fund may enter into dollar roll transactions, in which the Fund sells mortgage-backed securities for delivery in the current month and simultaneously contracts to purchase substantially similar securities on a specified future date from the same party. A Fund may invest in dollar rolls in order to benefit from anticipated changes in pricing for the mortgage-backed securities during the term of the transaction, or for the purpose of creating investment leverage. In a dollar roll, the securities that are to be purchased will be of the same type as the securities sold, but will be supported by different pools of mortgages.
Dollar rolls involve the risk that the Fund’s counterparty will be unable to deliver the mortgage-backed securities underlying the dollar roll at the fixed time. If the counterparty files for bankruptcy or becomes insolvent, a Fund’s use of the transaction proceeds may be restricted pending a determination by the counterparty or its representative, whether to enforce the Fund’s obligation to repurchase the securities. A Fund can incur a loss on a dollar roll transaction (either because its counterparty fails to perform or because the value of the mortgages subject to the transaction declines) and on the investments made by the Fund with the proceeds of the dollar roll transaction.
A Fund accounts for a dollar roll transaction as a purchase and sale whereby the difference in the sales price and purchase price of the security sold is recorded as a realized gain (loss). If certain criteria are met, these dollar roll transactions may be considered financing transactions, whereby the difference in the sales price and the future purchase price is recorded as an adjustment to interest income. Dollar roll transactions generally have the effect of creating leverage in a Fund’s portfolio.
Securities Lending
Each Fund, other than the U.S. Government Money Market Fund, may lend its securities; however, lending cannot exceed 33% of the total assets of the Fund taken at current value. The Funds’ securities lending activities are governed by a Securities Lending Agency Agreement (“Lending Agreement”) between each Fund and the lending agent (“Agent”). The Lending Agreement authorizes the Agent to lend portfolio securities held by a Fund to approved borrowers (each, a “Borrower”).
Each Fund expects that in connection with any securities on loan, the loan will be secured continuously by collateral consisting of cash (U.S. currency) and/or securities (U.S. Treasury and Agency obligations) adjusted daily to have value at least equal to the current market value of the securities loaned. The market value of the loaned securities is determined at the close of business of a Fund and any additional collateral is delivered to the Fund the next business day. The Funds bear the risk of loss with respect to the investment of cash collateral. As with other extensions of credit, the Funds may bear the risk of delay in recovery of the loaned securities or even loss of rights in the collateral should the Borrower of the securities fail financially. Pursuant to the Lending Agreement, the Agent has provided indemnification to the Funds in the event of default by a Borrower with respect to a loan. The Funds receive compensation for lending their securities in the form of a securities loan fee paid by the Borrower, as well as a share of the income earned on investment of the cash collateral received for the loaned securities. At June 30, 2024, the Funds’ collateral was equal to or greater than 100% of the market value of securities on loan and all of the Funds’ cash collateral was invested in the State Street Navigator Securities Lending Government Money Market Portfolio.
TABLE OF CONTENTS
| Notes to Financial Statements (Unaudited) (Continued) | |
Subject to the terms of the Lending Agreement and the agreement between the Agent and the applicable Borrower (“Borrowing Agreement”), security loans can be terminated by the Agent, the Fund, or the Borrower and the related securities must be returned within the earlier of the customary settlement period for such securities or the period of time specified in the Borrowing Agreement.
The Funds employ the Agent to implement their securities lending program and the Agent receives a fee from the Funds for its services. In addition, the Funds may be required to pay a rebate to the Borrower. Accordingly, a Fund’s compensation for lending its securities is reduced by any such fees or rebate paid to the Agent or Borrower, respectively. Income received by the Funds in securities lending transactions during the period ended June 30, 2024, is reflected as securities lending income on the Statement of Operations.
Accounting for Investment Transactions
Investment transactions are accounted for on the trade date. Realized gains and losses on sales of investments and unrealized appreciation and depreciation of investments are computed by the specific identification cost method. Proceeds received from litigation, if any, are included in realized gains on investment transactions for any investments that are no longer held in the portfolio and as a reduction in cost for investments that continue to be held in the portfolio. Interest income, adjusted for amortization of discounts and premiums on debt securities, is earned from the settlement date and is recorded on the accrual basis. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date. Withholding taxes on foreign interest, dividends, and capital gains have been provided for in accordance with the applicable country’s tax rules and rates. Foreign dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date or as soon as practicable after the Fund determines the existence of a dividend declaration after exercising reasonable due diligence. Distributions received on securities that represent a return of capital or capital gains are recorded as a reduction of cost of investments and/or as a realized gain.
Foreign Currency Translation
The books and records of the Funds are maintained in U.S. dollars. The market values of foreign currencies, foreign securities, and other assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars at the mean of the buying and selling rates of such currencies against the U.S. dollar at the end of each business day. Purchases and sales of foreign securities and income and expense items are translated at the rates of exchange prevailing on the respective dates of such transactions. The Funds do not isolate that portion of the results of operations arising from changes in the exchange rates from that portion arising from changes in the market prices of securities. Net realized foreign currency gains and losses resulting from changes in exchange rates include foreign currency gains and losses between trade date and settlement date on investment securities transactions, foreign currency transactions, and the difference between the amounts of dividends or interest recorded on the books of the Funds and the amount actually received.
Allocation of Operating Activity
In maintaining the records for the Funds, the income and expense accounts are allocated daily to each class of shares. Investment income and loss, and unrealized and realized gains or losses are prorated among the classes of shares based on the relative net assets of each. Expenses are allocated to each class of shares depending on the nature of the expenditures. Administration and service fees, if any, which are directly attributable to a class of shares, are charged to that class’s operations. Expenses of a Fund not directly attributable to the operations of any specific class of shares of the Fund are prorated among the classes to which the expense relates based on relative net assets. In addition, each of the Blend Fund, iShares 60/40 Allocation Fund, and iShares 80/20 Allocation Fund will also incur certain fees and expenses indirectly as a shareholder in the Underlying ETFs. Because the Underlying ETFs have varied expense and fee levels, and the Blend Fund, iShares 60/40 Allocation Fund, and iShares 80/20 Allocation Fund may own different proportions of Underlying ETFs at different times, the amount of fees and expenses indirectly incurred by each of the Blend Fund, iShares 60/40 Allocation Fund, and iShares 80/20 Allocation Fund will vary.
Foreign Securities
The Strategic Emerging Markets Fund invests substantially all of its assets in foreign securities. The other Funds, except for the Blend Fund, iShares 60/40 Allocation Fund, and iShares 80/20 Allocation Fund, may also invest in foreign securities. In addition, certain Underlying ETFs may invest in foreign securities. Foreign securities, including American Depositary Receipts, are subject

| Notes to Financial Statements (Unaudited) (Continued) | |
to additional risks compared to securities of U.S. issuers, including international trade, currency, political, regulatory, public health, and diplomatic risks. In addition, fluctuations in currency exchange rates may favorably or unfavorably affect the values of foreign securities and the price of a Fund’s shares. Emerging markets securities are subject to greater risks than securities issued in developed foreign markets, including less liquidity, less stringent investor protection and disclosure standards, less reliable settlement practices, greater price volatility, higher relative rates of inflation, greater political, economic, and social instability, greater custody and operational risks, greater risk of new or inconsistent government treatment of or restrictions on issuers and instruments, and greater volatility in currency exchange rates, and are more susceptible to environmental problems.
Federal Income Tax
It is each Fund’s intent to continue to comply with the provisions of Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), applicable to a regulated investment company. Under such provisions, the Funds would not be subject to U.S. federal income taxes on their ordinary income and net realized capital gains to the extent they are distributed or deemed to have been distributed to their shareholders. Therefore, the Funds have not made any provision for U.S. federal income tax.
Dividends and Distributions to Shareholders
Dividends from net investment income are either declared daily and paid monthly or declared and paid annually depending on the requirements of each Fund. Dividends from net investment income may also be distributed at other times throughout the year as required to satisfy tax or regulatory requirements. Distributions of any net realized capital gains of each Fund are declared and paid annually and at other times as may be required to satisfy tax or regulatory requirements.
Distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from generally accepted accounting principles. As a result, net investment income and net realized capital gains on investment transactions for a reporting period may differ significantly from distributions during such period.

Capital accounts within the financial statements are periodically adjusted for permanent differences between book and tax accounting. These adjustments have no impact on net assets or the results of operations. Temporary book and tax accounting differences will reverse in subsequent periods. At December 31, 2023, temporary book and tax accounting differences were primarily attributable to the deferral of wash sale losses, deferred Trustee compensation, and other temporary basis adjustments.
At December 31, 2023, the components of distributable earnings on a tax basis were as follows:

The Funds did not have any unrecognized tax benefits at June 30, 2024, nor were there any increases or decreases in unrecognized tax benefits for the period then ended. The Funds recognize interest and penalties, if any, related to unrecognized tax benefits as an income tax expense in the Statements of Operations. During the period ended June 30, 2024, the Funds did not incur any such interest or penalties. The Funds are subject to examination by U.S. federal and state tax authorities for returns filed for the prior three fiscal years, or the returns filed to date for Funds in existence less than three years. Foreign taxes are provided for based on the Funds’ understanding of the tax rules and rates that exist in the foreign markets in which they invest.
Under the Funds’ organizational documents, current and former Trustees and Officers are provided with specified rights to indemnification against liabilities arising in connection with the performance of their duties to the Funds, and shareholders are indemnified against personal liability for obligations of the Funds. In the normal course of business, the Funds may also enter into contracts that provide general indemnifications. The Funds’ maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would be dependent on future claims that may be made against the Funds. The risk of material loss from such claims is considered remote.
8. New Accounting Pronouncements
In December 2022, FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2022-06, “Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Deferral of the Sunset Date of Topic 848” (“ASU 2022-06”). ASU 2022-06 is an update of ASU 2020-04, which responded to concerns about structural risks of interbank offered rates, and particularly the risk of cessation of LIBOR. ASU 2020-04 provides optional guidance for a limited period of time to ease the potential burden in accounting for (or recognizing the effects of) reference rate reform on financial reporting. ASU 2020-04 is elective and applies to all entities, subject to meeting certain criteria, that have

contracts, hedging relationships, and other transactions that reference LIBOR or another reference rate expected to be discontinued because of reference rate reform. ASU 2022-06 defers the sunset date provision included in Topic 848. The amendments in this update are effective immediately through December 31, 2024, for all entities. Management does not expect ASU 2022-06 to have a material impact on the financial statements.
9. Russia-Ukraine War
In February 2022, Russia commenced a large-scale military attack on Ukraine. The outbreak of hostilities between the two countries could result in more widespread conflict and could have a severe adverse effect on the regional and the global financial markets and economies. One or more of the Funds hold positions in securities or other instruments that are economically tied to Russia. Investments in Russia are subject to political, economic, legal, market, and currency risks, as well as the risks related to the economic sanctions on Russia, Russian individuals, and Russian corporate and banking entities imposed by the United States, other countries, and certain international organizations. Such sanctions — which affect companies in many sectors, including energy, financial services, and defense, among others — could adversely affect the global energy and financial markets and, thus, could affect the value of a Fund’s investments, even beyond any direct exposure the Fund may have to Russian issuers or the adjoining geographic regions. These sanctions and any other intergovernmental actions (including retaliatory actions by the Russian government) may also result in a decline in the value and liquidity of Russian securities and a weakening of the ruble, and will impair a Fund’s ability to buy, sell, receive, or deliver Russian securities. In addition, certain transactions have been or may be prohibited and/or existing investments have or may become illiquid (e.g., because transacting in certain existing investments is prohibited), which could cause a Fund to sell other portfolio holdings at a disadvantageous time or price in order to meet shareholder redemptions.

Item 11. Statement Regarding Basis for Approval of Investment Advisory Contract.
Trustees’ Approval of Investment Advisory Contracts
At their meetings in May and June 2024, the Contract Committee (the “Committee”) and the Trustees, including the Trustees who are not “interested persons” (as such term is defined in the 1940 Act) of the Trust, MML Advisers, or the subadvisers (the “Independent Trustees”), considered and re-approved the existing advisory and subadvisory agreements (collectively, the “Contracts”) for each of the Blend Fund, Dynamic Bond Fund, Equity Fund, Equity Rotation Fund, High Yield Fund, Inflation-Protected and Income Fund, iShares 60/40 Allocation Fund, iShares 80/20 Allocation Fund, Managed Bond Fund, Short-Duration Bond Fund, Small Cap Equity Fund, Strategic Emerging Markets Fund, and U.S. Government Money Market Fund, as applicable. In preparation for the meetings, the Trustees requested, and MML Advisers and the subadvisers provided in advance, certain materials relevant to the consideration of the Contracts (the “Meeting Materials”). In all of their deliberations, the Trustees were advised by independent counsel.
The Committee received in advance of the meetings (i) a memorandum from MML Advisers discussing the nature and quality of the services it provides as investment adviser to the Funds; (ii) a profitability analysis prepared by MML Advisers; and (iii) a fee and performance study report (the “Third-Party Report”) with respect to each Fund prepared by an independent third-party vendor (the “Third-Party”). The Third-Party Report provided detailed comparative advisory fee, total expense, and performance information for each Fund to assist the Committee in its evaluation of the Contracts. The Committee also considered information presented to it throughout the year regarding MML Advisers and each of the subadvisers.
The Committee considered the nature, scope, and quality of services MML Advisers provides to the Funds, including: (i) the financial condition, stability, and business strategy of MML Advisers; (ii) the capabilities of MML Advisers with respect to regulatory compliance and its ability to monitor compliance with the investment policies of the Funds; (iii) MML Advisers’ ability to provide investment oversight and provide for administrative and shareholder services to the Funds; and (iv) the experience and qualifications of the personnel of MML Advisers that perform, or oversee the performance of, the services provided to the Funds, and the needs of the Funds for administrative and shareholder services. The Committee noted that it had received in the Meeting Materials or during the course of the past year: (i) detailed information regarding MML Advisers’ ability to provide investment oversight and provide for administrative and shareholder services to the Funds; and (ii) a wide range of information about the subadvisers and their personnel with responsibility for providing services to the Funds, as applicable, and the fees payable to each subadviser by MML Advisers. MML Advisers reviewed with the Committee in detail the work MML Advisers does in its oversight roles, the expertise it brings to these roles, the size of its teams, and the financial commitment it has made to provide those services.
The Committee then reviewed and considered, for each Fund separately, the detailed information presented in the Third-Party Report regarding: (i) Fund expenses, including, among other things, both the Fund’s net advisory fee and total net expense ratio against peer funds; and (ii) the Fund’s relative performance (over various time periods against funds in its “category” and a benchmark index). In connection with the Committee’s review, MML Advisers provided commentary and analysis regarding each Fund’s expenses and performance and a recommendation as to the action to be taken by the Committee. Throughout the discussion, MML Advisers responded to Committee members’ questions and provided additional information concerning each Fund.
The Committee reviewed the expense and performance information for each Fund. (References to any performance periods are to periods ended December 31, 2023, except as otherwise noted. In all cases, the comparative expense information is that of a Fund’s “peer group” and the comparative performance information is that of a Fund’s “performance category.”)
The Committee considered that many of the Funds had total net expense ratios at or below the medians of their peer groups. Those Funds include the Managed Bond Fund, Dynamic Bond Fund, Equity Fund, Small Cap Equity Fund, Blend Fund, iShares 60/40 Allocation Fund, and iShares 80/20 Allocation Fund. Of those Funds, all had net advisory fees below the medians of their peer groups, or in the lowest two-thirds of their peer groups, except the Blend Fund. The Committee considered MML Advisers’ statement that the advisory arrangements for the Blend Fund require MML Advisers to bear shareholder servicing expenses having the effect of increasing the Fund’s net advisory fee above the rate that would otherwise prevail, and that the shareholder services in question are the same as the services required under any separate shareholder servicing agreement relating to other series in the Trust and MML Series Investment Fund. The Committee considered MML Advisers’ statement that, although the Blend Fund’s net advisory fee would still be above the peer group median, it considered the fee acceptable both in light of the first-quintile total net expense ratio of the Fund and the highly favorable investment performance of the Fund in both the short- and long- term periods.
In the case of a number of Funds, the Committee noted that the Fund’s net advisory fees were at or below the medians of their peer group, or in the lowest two-thirds of their peer group, although the Funds’ total net expense ratios were in the highest one-third of their peer groups. The Committee considered MML Advisers’ statements that the relatively high total net expense ratios were affected by a Fund’s relatively small scale, in the case of the High Yield Fund, Equity Rotation Fund, and Strategic Emerging

Markets Fund. In the case of the Short-Duration Bond Fund, the Committee considered that the absolute difference between the Fund’s total net expense ratio and its peer group median was not so high as to be inconsistent with the approval of its advisory agreement, particularly in light of the Fund’s generally favorable net advisory fees.
The Committee noted that two Funds had both total net expense ratios and net advisory fees in the highest one-third of their respective peer groups. Those Funds included the U.S. Government Money Market Fund and Inflation-Protected and Income Fund. The Committee considered MML Advisers’ statement that, if the net advisory fees for the Inflation-Protected and Income Fund were reduced by the portion of the fees attributable to administrative services (which include shareholder services), the net advisory fee paid by the Fund would be less than the applicable peer group median. In the case of the U.S. Government Money Market Fund, the Committee considered MML Advisers’ statement that the Fund’s performance has generally been in line with its performance category median (within 0.10% of its category median for the three-year period), notwithstanding the Fund’s relatively high total net expense ratio, and that money market fund fees and expenses have been affected significantly in recent years by advisers’/sponsors’ actions to respond to record low short-term interest rates. The Committee also considered MML Advisers’ statement that the U.S. Government Money Market Fund’s peer group includes several funds that are significantly larger than the Fund (which were included due to the limited number of funds that would otherwise be included in the peer group), and so benefit from economies of scale not available to the Fund. The Committee also determined that the absolute difference between the Funds’ total net expense ratios and their peer group medians were not otherwise so high as to prevent the approval of their advisory agreements. The Committee determined that the foregoing Funds’ net advisory fees did not appear unreasonable in light of the information presented.
The Committee determined on the basis of these factors that the Funds’ net advisory fees, in light of the total net expenses of the Funds generally, were consistent with the continuation of their advisory agreements.
The Committee considered that the majority of Funds achieved three-year investment performance above the medians of their performance categories. Those included the Short-Duration Bond Fund, Managed Bond Fund, Dynamic Bond Fund, Inflation-Protected and Income Fund, High Yield Fund, Equity Fund, Equity Rotation Fund, Small Cap Equity Fund, and Blend Fund. In addition, the Committee considered that the Strategic Emerging Markets Fund performed in the bottom one-third of its performance category for the three-year period, but performed at the median of its performance category for the one-year period.
As to the U.S. Government Money Market Fund, the Committee considered that the Fund had performed in the 82nd and 88th percentiles of its performance category for the one- and three-year periods, respectively. The Committee considered MML Advisers’ statement that the Fund’s three-year performance was within 0.10% of its performance category median, and was generally in line with the performance category median for each of the past three years. The Committee also considered MML Advisers’ statement that the Fund is intended to serve as a conservative vehicle where investors may invest cash with minimal risk.
Each of the iShares 60/40 Allocation Fund and iShares 80/20 Allocation Fund was launched in February 2022. The Committee noted that the Funds had each performed at or within the top quartile for the one-year period (25th percentile for the iShares 60/40 Allocation Fund and 16th percentile for the iShares 80/20 Allocation Fund, relative to each Fund’s performance category). The Committee considered MML Advisers’ statement that, although the period each Fund had been operational was too short a period to evaluate performance meaningfully, each of the Funds appeared to be performing appropriately.
The Committee determined on the basis of these factors and on other factors and information considered by the Committee that the Funds’ performance, for the various periods presented, and the level of ongoing review of various underperforming Funds, were consistent with the continuation of the Contracts.
The Committee also reviewed and considered information included in the Meeting Materials, or discussed at the meeting and during the course of the year, concerning economies of scale and the profitability of MML Advisers’ advisory relationship with the various Funds, including: (i) a description of MML Advisers’ revenues from the Funds (including advisory fees and administrative and shareholder services fees, as applicable) and the expense allocation methodology employed by MML Advisers; and (ii) profitability information with respect to each individual Fund. The discussions included consideration of the intangible benefits derived by MML Advisers and its affiliates resulting from their relationships with the Funds and any so-called “fallout benefits” to MML Advisers (which were not considered to be substantial in any event), such as any reputational value derived from serving as investment adviser to the Funds, and benefits accruing to subadvisers (including sub-subadvisers, as applicable) due to so-called “soft-dollar arrangements.” Prior to the votes being taken to approve the Contracts, the Committee met separately in executive session to discuss the appropriateness of such contracts. The Committee weighed the foregoing matters in light of the advice given to them by their independent legal counsel as to the law applicable to the review of investment advisory contracts. In arriving at a decision, the Committee did not identify any single matter as all-important or controlling. The foregoing summary does not detail all of the matters considered.
TABLE OF CONTENTS
As to each of the Funds, the Committee concluded that: (i) it was satisfied with the nature, extent, and quality of services provided, and expected to be provided in the future, under the Contracts, including the level of MML Advisers’ oversight of each Fund and the subadvisory process; (ii) MML Advisers’ levels of profitability from its relationship with the various Funds are not excessive and the advisory fees payable under the advisory agreements and each Fund’s total net expenses are fair and reasonable; (iii) the investment processes, research capabilities, and philosophies of the subadvisers appear well suited to the Funds, as applicable, given their investment objectives and policies; (iv) either the relative or absolute performance of a Fund (in each case, taking into account the applicable investment strategy and risk profile of the Fund), or the steps MML Advisers has proposed in respect of the underperformance of a Fund, are sufficient to warrant continuation of the Contracts for each of the Funds; and (v) the terms of the Contracts are fair and reasonable with respect to each Fund and are in the best interests of each Fund’s shareholders.
