Dear Shareholder,
Markets were volatile throughout 2015, and the final six months of the year did little to soothe investors’ angst about the future direction of the global economy. Falling commodity prices, currency market swings, uneven economic growth and opposing central bank monetary policies cast a negative pall on the minds of investors in the third and fourth quarters. Policy divergence among central banks was notably evident in December, as the U.S. Federal Reserve (Fed) began tightening monetary policy by raising interest rates for the first time in nearly a decade while central banks in Europe, China and Japan continued a loose monetary policy stance. The Fed’s move in December offered a glimmer of hope that the U.S. economy had recovered sufficiently to begin to raise interest rates after a decade of moribund growth and elevated unemployment levels. But that glimmer may already be dissipating, as recent Fed policy guidance indicates additional interest rate increases in 2016 may be muted.
The dichotomy among central banks in their efforts to manage economies is just one of several headwinds facing investors in 2016. Decelerating global growth remains a concern, with China, the world’s second-largest economy, showing signs of strain. Inflation expectations are declining globally, making it difficult for central banks to identify catalysts to move interest rates significantly higher than current levels. Case in point—the European Central Bank (ECB) elected to extend its current quantitative easing program by at least six months to March 2017. Add to the mix the U.S. presidential election and rising geopolitical tensions across Europe, the Middle East and parts of Asia, and 2016 is off to an inauspicious beginning. Investors are understandably tentative.
At Babson, we believe that with uncertainty comes opportunity. Our mutual fund platform has been constructed to reflect the best of our core competencies as an organization. With the addition of six new funds during the fourth quarter, our platform offers a diverse selection of investment vehicles that provide investors with access to the global fixed income markets, leveraging the same investment experience that we provide to the many institutional clients that we are privileged to serve. Our investment teams conduct rigorous fundamental analysis on every company in which we invest, while also bringing local market insights from our investment teams around the globe. While we expect continued headwinds in the near term, we believe the market volatility will likely provide opportunities to invest in high-conviction names. The markets in which we invest are inherently volatile, but by adhering to a disciplined, repeatable, bottom-up investment process and investing through the economic cycle, we believe we can identify attractive investment opportunities and create portfolios that are able to weather market turbulence over the long term. Our process has served our clients well for decades, through many market cycles and in adverse market conditions.
On behalf of the entire Babson team, we thank you for your partnership and trust, and we look forward to helping you achieve your investment objectives.
Sincerely,

Babson Global Floating Rate Fund 2015 Semi-Annual Report
Investment Objective
The investment objective of the Babson Global Floating Rate Fund (“Global Floating Rate Fund” or the “Fund”) is to seek a high level of current income. Preservation of capital is a secondary goal.
Portfolio Management Commentary
How did the Fund perform?
| n | | The Fund reported a net total rate of return for the semi-annual reporting period from July 1, 2015 through December 31, 2015 of -3.50% and underperformed the Credit Suisse Global Loan Benchmark, which returned -2.66%.1 |
What factors influenced performance of the Fund?
| n | | For the semi-annual reporting period, the Fund was overweight to European assets. The Fund’s European assets provided positive contribution to returns, while U.S. assets detracted from the Fund’s performance. |
| n | | The Fund’s investments in the Energy sector and Metals/Mining sector were the leading detractors to contribution to return. Continued volatility and pressure on the price of oil caused commodity-related issuers to face significant selling pressure over the period. Seven of the Fund’s bottom ten contributors to its performance were commodity-related issuers. |
Describe recent portfolio activity.
| n | | The number of portfolio holdings decreased to 185 from 197 during the reporting period. As a result, the portfolio’s positioning in Floating Rate Debt increased to 86.07% from 83.65%, and Fixed Rate Debt holdings decreased to 6.55% from 9.47%. |
| n | | The Fund’s positioning across geographies remains relatively unchanged as the Fund remained overweight to European assets relative to the European weight in the global senior secured loan market. Even with the overweight positioning, the Fund modestly increased its exposure to U.S. assets over the past six months as the U.S. market experienced greater pricing pressure than the European market. |
| n | | Over the past six months, the Fund’s Top 5 Industry concentrations remain unchanged with Healthcare, Education and Childcare maintaining the highest concentration, followed by Diversified/Conglomerate Service, Finance, Chemicals, Plastics and Rubber, and Retails Stores, respectively. |
Describe portfolio positioning at period end.
| n | | The Fund finished the semi-annual reporting period, December 31, 2015, with holdings primarily in senior secured debt, namely 77.3% in First Lien Senior Secured Loans, 5.5% in Second Lien Senior Secured Loans, and 9.5% in Senior Secured Bonds. Senior Unsecured bonds composed just 0.3% of the portfolio. |
| n | | From an industry perspective, the Fund remains well-diversified across a number of sectors based on Moody’s Industry Classification, with higher concentrations in Healthcare, Education and Childcare (10.5%), Diversified/Conglomerate Service (7.7%), and non-bank related Finance companies (7.4%) as of December 31, 2015. |

Babson Global Floating Rate Fund 2015 Semi-Annual Report
| n | | As of December 31, 2015, the Fund had the following credit quality breakdown: 16.6% in Ba assets, 59.6% in single-B credits and a small exposure to Caa and below at 4.4%. Approximately 10.6% of the Fund’s assets are not publicly rated, primarily consisting of European issuers that we believe have a credit quality similar to that of other assets in the portfolio. Cash and accrued income was 7.4% and Baa assets accounted for the remaining 2.2% of the portfolio assets.2 |
| n | | The Top 5 countries in the portfolio at the end of the semi-annual reporting period are the U.S. (64.5%), the United Kingdom (14.6%), Germany (9.3%), France (3.2%) and Canada (2.7%). Overall, the Fund has exposure to 16 different countries, and we continue to focus on building a well-diversified portfolio of global floating rate securities. |
Describe market and portfolio outlook.
| n | | As we look into 2016, the Energy and Commodity sectors will continue to remain volatile as a result of the supply and demand imbalance. This volatility should be primarily concentrated in the U.S., as the European loan market has very little exposure to the Energy sector. |
| n | | Despite a volatile reporting period, we believe issuer fundamentals outside of Energy and Commodity related sectors remain largely intact. With the exception of those troubled sectors, we expect loan market default rates to remain below long-term averages; within Energy and Commodities, however, we anticipate an increase in defaults in 2016. |
| n | | Further divergence of Fed and ECB monetary policy will likely impact the global loan market to varying degrees in 2016. |

Babson Global Credit Income Opportunities Fund 2015 Semi-Annual Report
Investment Objective
The investment objective of the Babson Global Credit Income Opportunities Fund (“Global Credit Income Opportunities Fund” or the “Fund”) is to seek an absolute return, primarily through current income and secondarily through capital appreciation.
Portfolio Management Commentary
How did the Fund perform?
| n | | The Fund reported a net total rate of return for the semi-annual reporting period from July 1, 2015 through December 31, 2015, of -4.95% and underperformed the 3 Month USD LIBOR + 500 basis points1 Benchmark, which retuned 2.72%2 |
What factors influenced performance of the Fund?
| n | | During the semi-annual reporting period, European assets were the main contributors to performance, while the U.S. assets, special situations and CLO’s were the main detractors. |
| n | | The Energy sector was the largest detractor to contribution to return over the six month period. Continued volatility and pressure on the price of oil caused commodity-related issuers to face significant selling pressure over the period. The Fund was negatively impacted by its exposure to these credits. Six of the Fund’s bottom ten contributors to its underperformance were commodity-related issuers. |
| n | | During the period, CLO’s also faced significant selling pressure and three of the Fund’s bottom ten contributors were CLO’s. |
| n | | The Fund’s special situation credits had a negative impact on performance during the semi-annual reporting period; however, we believe these assets provide attractive current income to the portfolio and should contribute to the Fund’s performance in the future. |
Describe recent portfolio activity.
| n | | The number of holdings in the portfolio decreased slightly during the second half of the year even though the Fund’s assets grew slightly. Despite the small decrease in the number of holdings, the Fund’s positioning across geographies remained fairly consistent and the Fund continues to maintain significant positions in high conviction credits while maintaining an average credit rating of single-B. |
| n | | The Fund increased its exposure to global high yield bonds while reducing senior secured loans in order to focus on what we believe to be a more attractive part of the below-investment grade market from a risk-adjusted basis. |
| n | | The Fund remains well diversified across industries with the largest concentration in CLO’s at 17.7% (a 1.0% increase from June 30, 2015), the next two largest industries are Healthcare, Education and Childcare at 6.5% and Chemicals, Plastics and Rubber at 5.7%. Over the past six months, the Fund’s top 3 industry exposures have shifted as the Fund reduced exposure to Oil & Gas (down 3.1%) and Telecom (down 4.5%) and increased exposure to Chemicals, Plastics and Rubber (up 2.0%). |
Describe portfolio positioning at period end.
| n | | The Fund finished the semi-annual reporting period, December 31, 2015, with an allocation of 51.0%, 22.0%, and 17.7% to global high yield bonds, global senior secured loans and CLOs, respectively. The remainder of the portfolio was invested in a few opportunistic special situation credits at 1.0%, derivatives at 0.2%, equity 0.5% and cash at 7.4%. A significant portion of the portfolio (40.4%) is senior secured in nature, which can potentially mitigate principal loss in the event that default rates increase. |

Babson Global Credit Income Opportunities Fund 2015 Semi-Annual Report
| n | | From an industry perspective, the Fund remains well-diversified across a number of sectors based on Moody’s Industry Classification, with higher concentrations in CLOs (17.7%), Healthcare, Education and Childcare (6.5%) and Chemicals, Plastics and Rubber (5.7%) as of December 31, 2015. |
| n | | As of December 31, 2015, the Fund had the following credit quality breakdown: 28.0% in Ba assets, 49.2% in single-B credits and a modest exposure to Caa and below at 11.7%. Approximately 3.6% of the Fund’s assets are not publicly rated. Over the course of the last six months, the single-B and Caa and below increased slightly as the Fund’s exposure to unrated, Ba and Baa rated assets decreased slightly.3 |
| n | | The Top 5 countries in the portfolio at the end of the semi-annual reporting period are the U.S. (66.6%), the United Kingdom (11.5%), Germany (5.9%), the Netherlands (4.2%) and France (2.1%). The U.S. exposure includes the Cayman Islands, which is related to the Fund’s CLO holdings that is predominantly invested in U.S. senior secured loans. Overall, the Fund has exposure to 17 different countries, and we continue to focus on building a well-diversified portfolio of global high yield securities. |
Describe market and portfolio outlook.
| n | | As we look into 2016, the Energy and Commodity sectors will continue to remain volatile as a result of the supply and demand imbalance. This volatility should be primarily concentrated in the U.S., as the European high yield markets have minimal exposure to the Energy sector. |
| n | | Despite a volatile reporting period, we believe issuer fundamentals outside of Energy and Commodity related sectors remain largely intact. With the exception of those troubled sectors, we expect high yield market default rates to remain below long-term averages, with Europe expecting to experience the fewest defaults; within Energy and Commodities, mostly in the U.S., however, we anticipate an increase in defaults in 2016. |
| n | | Further divergence of Fed and ECB monetary policy will likely impact the global high yield markets to varying degrees in 2016. |

Babson Active Short Duration Fund 2015 Semi-Annual Report
Investment Objective
Babson Active Short Duration Bond Fund (“Active Short Duration Bond Fund” or the “Fund”) seeks to achieve a high total rate of return primarily from current income while minimizing fluctuations in capital values by investing primarily in a diversified portfolio of short-term investment grade fixed income securities.
Portfolio Management Commentary
How did the Fund perform?
| n | | The Fund was launched on July 8, 2015 and reported a net total rate of return for the reporting period through December 31, 2015 of -0.93%, underperforming the Barclays U.S. 1-3 Year Government Bond Index, which returned -0.24%.1 |
What factors influenced performance of the Fund?
| n | | The Fund’s allocation to investment grade corporate, BB-rated high yield bonds and convertible securities were detractors to performance driven largely by the sell-off in Metals & Mining and Oil & Gas producers. |
| n | | The Securitized sector positively impacted performance over the period. Specific allocations that contributed were U.S. agency MBS, CMBS, non-agency residential mortgage backed securities (RMBS) and consumer ABS. Student loan ABS, however, was a modest negative due to rating agency action within the sector. |
| n | | Duration positioning positively contributed to performance. The front-end of the yield curve, particularly the two to three year area, flattened as the market priced in a lower probability of an extended series of Fed interest rate hikes. The Fund was at its maximum duration of approximately 2.9 years for much of the period, given the steepness of the yield curve. |
Describe recent portfolio activity.
| n | | The Fund experienced positive flows during the period and purchases were across Corporate, Securitized and Government sectors. |
| n | | The Fund reduced holdings in lower quality energy corporates and convertible securities that were believed to be downgrade candidates. Purchases were in Automotive, Banking, Consumer, Insurance and Real Estate Investment Trust (REIT) sectors. The Fund selectively added exposure to student loan ABS due to pricing dislocations. These securities are backed by the federal government and pricing has become attractive as a result of rating agency action. However, this did negatively impact recent performance. |
Describe portfolio positioning at period end.
| n | | The Fund duration ended the period at 2.9 years, which is about the maximum for the strategy. The steepness of the yield curve between three months and three years led us to retain a maximum duration for the period. |
| n | | From a sector perspective, the Fund has been well-diversified across Corporates, Securitized and Governments. The Corporate allocation represents approximately 37.5%, with 31% in investment grade corporates and 6% in BB-rated and crossover high yield. Banking represents the largest industry at almost 10% followed by Diversified Industrials (9%). The Fund had a 2.7% allocation to Energy and 0.2% in Convertible Securities. |
| n | | Securitized ABS represents a 14.5% allocation, it was largely comprised of traditional automotive loan collateral and compelling esoteric collateral such as timeshares, cell towers, medical receivables, and personal consumer loans. CMBS made up 3.8% of the Fund. |

Babson Active Short Duration Fund 2015 Semi-Annual Report
| n | | The agency MBS allocation (5.7%) was in lower coupon 15 year FNMAs. The Fund also had a small allocation to agency collateralize mortgage obligations (CMO) with compelling structural features. |
Describe market and portfolio outlook.
| n | | Volatility will likely persist in 2016, driven by global monetary policies, shifting global growth patterns and fluctuating commodity prices. |
| n | | U.S. Government yields rose modestly in 2015. However, the case for significantly higher rates is challenging to make, with inflation low and real growth hobbling along at 2%-2.5%. The shape of the short-end of the yield curve bears watching, as there has been a significant flattening from three months to three years. Should this continue, the duration of the Fund may start to shorten. |
| n | | Commodities will continue to necessitate close monitoring. The Fund is taking opportunities to reduce Energy and Metals & Mining exposure, as well as any other names that may possess idiosyncratic risks. |
| n | | The recent bout of spread widening should provide the Fund select opportunities. Short weighted average life CLOs offer attractive yields and have experienced less volatility than other asset classes. FFELP student loans may represent one of the better opportunities in ABS. |

Babson Total Return Bond Fund 2015 Semi-Annual Report
Investment Objective
Babson Total Return Bond Fund (“Total Return Bond Fund” or the “Fund”) seeks a superior total rate of return by investing in fixed income instruments.
Portfolio Management Commentary
How did the Fund perform?
| n | | The Fund was launched on July 8, 2015 and reported a net total rate of return for the reporting period through December 31, 2015 of -0.78%, underperforming the Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index, which returned 0.16%.1 |
What factors influenced performance of the Fund?
| n | | An overweight to investment grade corporate credit and an allocation to convertible and high yield corporate securities were the primary detractors to performance. Within those allocations, exposures to commodity related industries were the main negative drivers. The Fund was positioned in shorter maturity names, however credit curves flattened with shorter maturity credits underperforming the most. Asset backed securities (ABS) were the primary detractor in the Securitized sector largely due to holdings in government guaranteed FFELP student loans which underperformed during the period. |
| n | | USD/CNH and IGCDX put spread options performed well during the period due to multiple devaluations of the Chinese yuan. |
Describe recent portfolio activity.
| n | | Corporate purchases were in Banking, Technology and Consumer sectors with only modest purchases in Energy. |
| n | | The Fund selectively added exposure to ABS in such esoteric sectors as business franchise whole loans and personal consumer loans. |
| n | | The agency mortgage backed securities ( MBS) allocation began transitioning into more liquid specified pools. |
| n | | Purchased synthetic investment grade credit put options due to heightened volatility within the credit markets. |
| n | | Recent purchases also include AAA-rated, short weighted average life CLO’s. |
Describe portfolio positioning at period end.
| n | | The Fund was duration and curve neutral relative to the benchmark. |
| n | | The largest overweight relative to the benchmark was corporate credit representing approximately a 41.7% allocation versus 30.0% for the index. High yield corporate made up 8.5% of that exposure. Banking and diversified industrials were the largest industries within corporate credit. The energy allocation represented about 3.1% of the Fund and was 0.5% overweight relative to the benchmark. The allocation to convertible securities was 0.4%. |
| n | | The Fund was underweight in agency MBS (25.0%) relative to the benchmark (28.6%). More recently, the Fund rotated into specified mortgage pools becoming more balanced along the coupon stack, this change also enhanced the overall liquidity profile of the Fund. |
| n | | Securitized ABS represents a 11.8% allocation, it was largely comprised of traditional automotive loan collateral and compelling esoteric collateral such as timeshares, cell towers, medical receivables, and personal consumer loans. |
| n | | Commercial mortgage backed securities (CMBS) made up 6.0% of the Fund representing a 4.2% overweight. BBB-rated tranches backed by 2012 vintage collateral represent the best value. However, they are difficult to source given their strong underwriting profile. The Fund gained exposure to these vintages using CMBX, a synthetic index. |

Babson Emerging Markets Debt Blended Total Return Fund 2015 Semi-Annual Report
Investment Objective
The investment objective of the Babson Emerging Markets Debt Blended Total Return (“EMD Blended Total Return “ or the “Fund”) is to seek a long-term total return through a combination of current income and capital appreciation though exposure to a diversified portfolio of emerging markets corporate, sovereign hard currency and local currency-denominated debt securities.
Portfolio Management Commentary
How did the Fund perform?
| n | | The Fund reported a net total rate of return of -3.321 since the Fund’s inception date of October 21, 2015. |
What factors influenced performance of the Fund?
| n | | For the period ended December 31, 2015, the Fund’s currency positions against the Russian Ruble, British Pound, Canadian Dollar, and Singaporean Dollar, as well as an Ecuadorian sovereign bond were the primary contributors to performance. Corporate holdings in Yasar, ICICI Bank and Sino-Ocean Land Holdings also aided returns. Key detractors from performance were the Fund’s local bond positions in South Africa, Mexico and Colombia, while the Fund’s holding in Digicel Group also detracted from returns. |
| n | | Emerging Markets local currency bonds experienced large sell-offs during December on the heels of the U.S. Fed’s rate hike, the ECB’s disappointing actions and a further sell-off of commodities. Within the portfolio, South Africa detracted more than 1% following President Zuma’s unexpected termination of finance minister Neve, while naming someone who was perceived to be a weak replacement. Following heavy criticism at home, President Zuma then named Pravin Gordhan as finance minister. Although Minister Gordhan previously held the position from 2009-2014, investors were less than impressed; impacting both rates and pushing the currency to its weakest point ever. |
Describe recent portfolio activity.
| n | | The portfolio launched on October 21, 2015 with US$10 million, therefore, the activity in Fund primarily represents the initial investment of seed capital and some monthly adjustments as a result of our currency framework. |
Describe portfolio positioning at period end.
| n | | The Fund finished the year with a 37% exposure to Emerging Markets Corporate bonds, 39% exposure to Emerging Markets Local Debt and Currencies, 23% exposure to Sovereign Hard Currency bonds and a 1% cash position. |
| n | | The Top 5 countries in the portfolio at the end of the period are Mexico (10.6%), Indonesia (6.9%), South Africa (5.4%), Israel (4.7%) and Turkey (4.6%). The top 3 corporate bonds are AES Corp (3.7%), Israel Electric Corp (2.4%) and Cemex (2.2%). Overall, the Fund has exposure to 17 countries, 21 corporates, and 24 different currencies. |
Describe market and portfolio outlook.
| n | | We remain optimistic that some Emerging Markets headwinds are poised to reverse and become tailwinds or at least stabilize |

Babson Emerging Markets Debt Blended Total Return Fund 2015 Semi-Annual Report
| n | | Credit selection will be key to seeking the best risk-adjusted return opportunities across the Emerging Market corporate debt spectrum. |
| n | | Lower net supply, driven by reduced issuance and heightened buyback activity, will likely serve as a strong supportive technical factor for Emerging Market corporate debt. For Emerging Market Sovereigns, we continue to favor Central European countries, as well as Caribbean and Central American countries, which should continue to be beneficiaries of the pickup in growth out of core Europe and the U.S. |
| n | | Currency valuations have adjusted significantly over the past 24 months and we are now seeing some Emerging Market currencies at their most attractive levels in more than 10 years, thereby providing for selective Emerging Market growth prospects. |

Babson Emerging Markets Local Currency Debt Fund 2015 Semi-Annual Report
Investment Objective
The investment objective of the Babson Emerging Markets Local Currency Debt Fund (“EM Local Currency Debt Fund” or the “Fund”) is to seek a high level of current income. Preservation of capital is a secondary goal.
Portfolio Management Commentary
How did the Fund perform?
| n | | The Fund reported a net total rate of return of -1.59%1 since the Fund’s inception date of December 8, 2015. |
What factors influenced performance of the Fund?
| n | | For the period ended December 31, 2015, the Fund’s positions in Colombia, Indonesia, Malaysia and South Africa were the primary detractors from performance relative to the benchmark. The Fund’s underweight in Brazilian rates and overall underweight exposure to emerging markets currencies positively impacted Fund performance. |
| n | | Colombia, Indonesia, Malaysia and South Africa all experienced large sell-offs during December and our overweight positions were more negatively affected than the benchmark. South Africa, in particular, underperformed due to President Zuma’s unexpected termination of finance minister Neve, while naming someone who was perceived to be a weak replacement. Following heavy criticism at home, President Zuma then named Pravin Gordhan as finance minister. Although Minister Gordhan previously held the position from 2009-2014, investors were less than impressed; impacting both rates and pushing the currency to its weakest point ever. |
Describe recent portfolio activity.
| n | | The portfolio launched on December 8, 2015 with US$5 million, therefore, the trades reflected initial seed capital being invested. |
Describe portfolio positioning at period end.
| n | | The Fund finished the year with a 92.1% exposure to Emerging Market bonds and a 7.5% cash position. |
| n | | The Top 5 countries in the portfolio at the end of the period are Malaysia (12.8%), Indonesia (11.4%), Colombia (11.4%), Brazil (9.8%) and South Africa (7.2%). Overall, the Fund has exposure to 16 different countries and 28 different currencies. |
Describe market and portfolio outlook.
| n | | We remain optimistic that some Emerging Markets headwinds are poised to reverse and become tailwinds or at least stabilize. |
| n | | Currency valuations have adjusted significantly over the past 24 months and we are now seeing some emerging markets currencies at their most attractive levels in more than 10 years, thereby providing for selective emerging markets growth prospects. |
| n | | The portfolio continues to add to constructive positioning on selected European and Latin American currencies, less so on Asian currencies, while maintaining a watchful eye on commodity prices. |
| n | | The portfolio continues to be positioned in selective rates where inflation is falling along with narrowing current account deficits. A picture of global disinflation should remain favorable for emerging markets local debt and the Fund. |

Babson Global High Yield Fund 2015 Semi-Annual Report
Investment Objective
The investment objective of the Babson Global High Yield Fund (“Global High Yield Fund” or the “Fund”) is to provide high current income generation and, where appropriate, capital appreciation.
Portfolio Management Commentary
How did the Fund perform?
| n | | The Fund reported a total rate of return of -2.40% since the Fund’s inception date of October 30, 2015. |
What factors influenced performance of the Fund?
| n | | The initial ramping of the portfolio positively influenced the performance of the Fund during this period as a higher cash balance helped protect the portfolio from the volatility the U.S. and European high yield bond markets experienced at the end of the year. |
| n | | In addition, strong security selection, particularly high quality credits with improving outlooks, and the Fund’s underweight to commodities relative to the market positively influenced performance. |
Describe recent portfolio activity.
| n | | During the period, the Fund continued to ramp the initial capital funding by constructing a well-diversified portfolio across issuers, ratings, countries and industries. As of December 31, 2015, the portfolio had a geographical weighting of 69.5% in U.S. and 30.5% in primarily European issuers and other non-U.S. domiciled issuers. |
| n | | Due to the initial ramping of the portfolio, approximately one-third of the assets were purchased in the U.S. and European new issue market and the remaining two-thirds were purchased on the secondary markets to take advantage of opportunities that we believe offer attractive yields and the potential for capital appreciation. |
Describe portfolio positioning at period end.
| n | | On a traded basis, the Fund ended the year with a 24.6% weighting to senior secured high yield bonds and a 75.4% weighting to senior unsecured bonds. |
| n | | From an industry perspective, the Fund remains well-diversified across a number of Moody’s-based industries, with higher concentrations in Healthcare, Education and Childcare (11.6%), Finance (8.2%), and Telecommunications (7.7%) as of year-end. |
| n | | In terms of portfolio credit quality as of December 31, 2015, the Fund had the following weighting breakdown: 3.3% in Baa, 33.2% in Ba, 50.8% in single-B, 5.7% in Caa and below and 6.4% in cash and accrued income. A small portion of the assets are not publicly rated (0.6%), but we believe have a similar ratings profile as other assets in the portfolio. |
Describe market and portfolio outlook.
| n | | Although the Fed’s December announcement of the first interest rate increase since 2006 marks the conclusion of one of the biggest question marks for the market, uncertainty remains around the potential consequences increased interest rate volatility may have on currencies, treasury yields, and risk assets going forward. While the extensive volatility we have seen in the commodity space will likely persist, we expect general corporate fundamentals to remain intact. This should continue to support high yield valuations in the near-term as we believe the market is now pricing in a higher level of defaults than we anticipated. Despite recent pressure, any further pull back in prices will likely provide opportunities to add to positions in “high conviction” names offering attractive relative value. |

Babson Capital Funds Trust 2015 Semi-Annual Report
SHAREHOLDER EXPENSES (UNAUDITED)
As a shareholder of Babson Global Floating Rate Fund, Babson Global Credit Income Opportunities Fund, Babson Active Short Duration Bond Fund, Babson Total Return Bond Fund, Babson Emerging Markets Debt Blended Total Return Fund, Babson Emerging Markets Local Currency Debt Fund, Babson Global High Yield Fund or Babson U.S. High Yield Fund (each a “Fund” and collectively, the “Funds”) you incur ongoing expenses, such as management fees, shareholder service fees, distribution fees and other fund expenses. The following table is intended to help you understand your ongoing expenses (in dollars and cents) of investing in the Funds and to compare these expenses with the ongoing expenses of investing in other funds.
The table is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period from July 1, 2015 to December 31, 2015.
Actual Expenses
The first line in the table below provides information about the actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first line for the Fund under the heading entitled “Operating Expenses Incurred” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.
Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes
The second line in the table below provides information about the hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund’s actual return. The hypothetical account value and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in your Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.

(1) | If the Fund is a seller of protection and a credit event occurs, as defined under the terms of that particular swap agreement, the Fund will either (i) pay to the buyer of protection an amount equal to the notional amount of the swap and take delivery of the referenced obligation or underlying securities comprising the referenced index or (ii) pay a net settlement amount in the form of cash or securities equal to the notional amount of the swap less the recovery value of the referenced obligation or underlying securities comprising the referenced index. |
(2) | The maximum potential amount the portfolio could be required to make as a seller of credit protection or receive as a buyer of credit event as defined under the terms of that particular swap agreement. |
(3) | The quoted market prices and resulting values for credit default swap agreements on asset-backed securities and credit indices serve as an indicator of the current status of the payment/performance risk and represent the expected amount paid or received for the credit derivative if the amount of the swap agreement was closed/sold as of the period end. Increasing market values, in absolute terms when compared to the notional amount of the swap, represent a deterioration of the referenced entity’s credit soundness and a greater likelihood or risk of default or other credit event occurring as defined under the terms of the agreements. |

(1) | If the Fund is a seller of protection and a credit event occurs, as defined under the terms of that particular swap agreement, the Fund will either (i) pay to the buyer of protection an amount equal to the notional amount of the swap and take delivery of the referenced obligation or underlying securities comprising the referenced index or (ii) pay a net settlement amount in the form of cash or securities equal to the notional amount of the swap less the recovery value of the referenced obligation or underlying securities comprising the referenced index. |
(2) | The maximum potential amount the portfolio could be required to make as a seller of credit protection or receive as a buyer of credit event as defined under the terms of that particular swap agreement. |
(3) | The quoted market prices and resulting values for credit default swap agreements on asset-backed securities and credit indices serve as an indicator of the current status of the payment/performance risk and represent the expected amount paid or received for the credit derivative if the amount of the swap agreement was closed/sold as of the period end. Increasing market values, in absolute terms when compared to the notional amount of the swap, represent a deterioration of the referenced entity’s credit soundness and a greater likelihood or risk of default or other credit event occurring as defined under the terms of the agreements. |

(1) | If the Fund is a seller of protection and a credit event occurs, as defined under the terms of that particular swap agreement, the Fund will either (i) pay to the buyer of protection an amount equal to the notional amount of the swap and take delivery of the referenced obligation or underlying securities comprising the referenced index or (ii) pay a net settlement amount in the form of cash or securities equal to the notional amount of the swap less the recovery value of the referenced obligation or underlying securities comprising the referenced index. |
(2) | The maximum potential amount the portfolio could be required to make as a seller of credit protection or receive as a buyer of credit event as defined under the terms of that particular swap agreement. |
(3) | The quoted market prices and resulting values for credit default swap agreements on asset-backed securities and credit indices serve as an indicator of the current status of the payment/performance risk and represent the expected amount paid or received for the credit derivative if the amount of the swap agreement was closed/sold as of the period end. Increasing market values, in absolute terms when compared to the notional amount of the swap, represent a deterioration of the referenced entity’s credit soundness and a greater likelihood or risk of default or other credit event occurring as defined under the terms of the agreements. |

Babson Capital Funds Trust 2015 Semi-Annual Report
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)
December 31, 2015
1. Organization
Babson Capital Funds Trust (the “Trust”) was organized as a business trust under the laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts on May 3, 2013 and commenced operations on September 16, 2013. The Trust is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), as an open-end management investment company. As of December 31, 2015, the Trust currently consists of eight non-diversified funds (separately, a “Fund” and collectively, the “Funds”): Babson Global Floating Rate Fund (“Global Floating Rate Fund”), Babson Global Credit Income Opportunities Fund (“Global Credit Income Opportunities Fund”), Babson Active Short Duration Bond Fund (“Active Short Duration Bond Fund”), Babson Total Return Bond Fund (“Total Return Bond Fund”), Babson Emerging Markets Debt Blended Total Return Fund (“Emerging Markets Blended Total Return Fund”), Babson Emerging Markets Local Currency Debt Fund (“Emerging Markets Local Currency Debt Fund”), Babson Global High Yield Fund (“Global High Yield Fund”) and Babson U.S. High Yield Fund (“U.S. High Yield Fund”). Active Short Duration Bond Fund and Total Return Bond Fund commenced operations on July 8, 2015. Emerging Markets Debt Blended Total Return Fund commenced operations on October 21, 2015. Emerging Markets Local Currency Debt Fund commenced operations on December 8, 2015. Global High Yield Fund and U.S. High Yield Fund commenced operations on October 30, 2015.
Babson Capital Management LLC (“BCGA”), a wholly-owned indirect subsidiary of Massachusetts Mutual Life Insurance Company, is a registered investment adviser under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, as amended, and serves as investment adviser to the Funds.
Babson Capital Global Advisors Limited (the “Sub-Adviser”), an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of the Adviser, serves as a sub-adviser with respect to the Global Floating Rate Fund, Global Credit Income Opportunities Fund, Emerging Markets Debt Blended Total Return Fund and Global High Yield Fund European investments.
Cornersone Real Estate Advisers LLC (“Cornerstone”), a direct wholly-owned subsidiary of the Adviser, serves as a sub-adviser to the Active Short Duration Bond Fund and Total Return Bond Fund investment in commercial mortgage-backed securities.
The primary investment objective of the Global Floating Rate Fund is to seek a high level of current income. The
Fund seeks preservation of capital as a secondary investment objective. The primary investment objective of the Global Credit Income Opportunities Fund is to seek an absolute return, primarily through current income and secondarily through capital appreciation. The primary investment objective of the Active Short Duration Bond Fund is to seek to achieve a high total rate of return primarily from current income while minimizing fluctuations in capital values by investing primarily in a diversified portfolio of short-term investment grade fixed income securities. The primary investment objective of the Total Return Bond Fund is to seek a superior total rate of return by investing in fixed income instruments. The primary investment objective of the Emerging Markets Debt Blended Total Return Fund is to seek to achieve maximum total return, consistent with preservation of capital and prudent investment management, through high current income generation and, where appropriate, capital appreciation. The primary investment objective of the Emerging Markets Local Currency Debt Fund is to seek long-term total return through investment in a diversified portfolio of emerging markets local currency denominated debt securities. The primary investment objective of the Global High Yield Fund is to seek to provide high current income generation and, where appropriate, capital appreciation. The primary investment objective of the U.S. High Yield Fund is to seek to achieve a high level of total return, with an emphasis on current income, by investing primarily in high yield debt and related securities.
There can be no assurance that the Funds will achieve their investment objectives. Under normal market conditions, the Global Floating Rate Fund will invest at least 80% of its net assets (including the amount of any borrowings for investment purposes) in income-producing floating rate debt securities, consisting of floating rate loans, bonds and notes, issued primarily by North American and Western European companies that are, at the time of purchase, rated below-investment grade (below Baa3 by Moody’s Investors Service, Inc. (“Moody’s”) or below BBB- by either Standard & Poor’s Rating Services, a division of the McGraw-Hill Company, Inc. (“S&P”) or Fitch, Inc. (“Fitch”)) or unrated but judged by the Adviser or BCGA to be of comparable quality. Under normal market conditions, the Global Credit Income Opportunities Fund will invest at least 80% of its net assets (including the amount of any borrowings for investment purposes) in debt instruments, consisting of loans, bonds and notes, based in U.S. and non-U.S.
141

markets, as well as over-the-counter and exchange-traded derivatives. Investments may be issued or guaranteed by governments and their agencies, corporations, financial institutions and supranational organizations that the Global Floating Rate Fund and Global Credit Income Opportunities Fund believe have the potential to provide a high total return over time. A significant portion of the Global Floating Rate Fund and Global Credit Income Opportunities Fund’s investments in debt instruments will be denominated in a currency other than the U.S. dollar. Although the investments in non-U.S. dollar denominated assets may be on a currency hedged or unhedged basis, the Global Floating Rate Fund and Global Credit Income Opportunities Fund expect that, under current market conditions, they will seek to hedge substantially all of their exposure to foreign currencies. Under normal market conditions, the Active Short Duration Bond Fund invests at least 80% of its net assets (including the amount of any borrowings for investment purposes) in investment grade fixed income securities (rated Baa or higher by Moody’s or BBB or higher by S&P or, if unrated, determined to be of comparable quality by the Adviser). These typically include U.S. dollar-denominated corporate obligations, securities issued or guaranteed by the U.S. government or its agencies or instrumentalities, U.S. and foreign issuer dollar-denominated bonds including, but not limited to, corporate obligations, government and agency issues, private placement bonds, securities subject to resale pursuant to Rule 144A, mortgage-backed, and other asset-backed securities. Under normal market conditions, the Total Return Bond Fund invests at least 80% of its net assets (including the amount of any borrowings for investment purposes) in fixed income securities. These typically include: U.S. dollar denominated corporate obligations and bank loans, securities issued or guaranteed by the U.S. government or its agencies or instrumentalities, U.S. and foreign issuer dollar denominated bonds including, but not limited to, corporate obligations, government and agency issues, private placement bonds, securities subject to resale pursuant to Rule 144A, convertible bonds, mortgage-backed, and other asset-backed securities. Under normal market conditions, the Emerging Markets Debt Blended Total Return Fund will invest at least 80% of its net assets (including the amount of any borrowings for investment purposes) in (i) securities denominated in currencies of the emerging market countries, (ii) fixed income securities or debt instruments issued by emerging market
entities or sovereign nations, and/or (iii) debt instruments denominated in or based on the currencies, interest rates, or issues of emerging market countries. Emerging market countries are defined to include any country that did not become a member of the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (O.E.C.D.) prior to 1975 and Turkey. Certain emerging market countries are referred to as “frontier” market countries. The Fund will likely focus its investments in Asia, Africa, the Middle East, Latin America and the developing countries of Europe. Under normal market conditions, the Emerging Markets Local Currency Debt Fund invests at least 80% of its net assets (including the amount of any borrowings for investment purposes) in local currency-denominated debt instruments issued by emerging markets governments, and their quasi sovereign agencies (including supranational and sub-national government issuers). The Adviser considers emerging market countries to include any country that did not become a member of the O.E.C.D. prior to 1975 and Turkey and intends to focus on those with relatively low gross national product per capita and the potential for rapid economic growth. The Adviser will select the Fund’s country and currency composition based on its evaluation of relative interest rates, inflation rates, exchange rates, monetary and fiscal policies, trade and current account balances, legal and political developments, and any other specific factors the Adviser believes to be relevant. The Fund will likely focus its investments in Asia, Africa, the Middle East, Latin America and the developing countries of Europe. Under normal conditions, the Global High Yield Fund will invest at least 80% of its net assets (including the amount of any borrowing for investment purposes) in below investment grade (“high yield”) fixed and floating rate corporate debt securities including bonds, notes and other fixed and floating rate income securities issued primarily by North American and Western European companies. For this purpose, debt instruments issued by issuers based in the Channel Islands, Cayman Islands and Bermuda will be considered North American and Western European companies. Such debt securities may be secured or unsecured, and, either senior or subordinated. Secured debt means that collateral has been pledged as security against default, while investors in senior debt instruments are legally entitled to be repaid ahead of investors in subordinated (i.e. non-senior) instruments issued by the same corporation. Derivative instruments that provide exposure to such high yield debt securities or have similar

economic characteristics may be used to satisfy the Fund’s 80% policy. The Adviser expects that such instruments will primarily, at the time of purchase, be rated below investment grade (commonly referred to as “junk bonds”) by at least one credit rating agency (below Baa3 by Moody’s or below BBB- by either S&P, or Fitch) or unrated but judged by the Adviser or BCGA, to be of comparable quality. The Fund may invest in high yield securities of any rating, including securities that are in default at the time of purchase. Under normal circumstances, the U.S. High Yield Fund invests at least 80% of its net assets (including the amount of any borrowings for investment purposes) in lower rated fixed income securities (rated below Baa3 by Moody’s or BBB- by S&P (using the lower rating) or, if unrated, determined by the Adviser to be of comparable quality), and at least 80% of its net assets (including the amount of any borrowings for investment purposes) in securities of U.S. issuers. The Fund may also invest in convertible securities, preferred stocks, warrants, bank loans, and other fixed income securities, including Rule 144A securities, of both U.S. and foreign issuers. Currently, the Adviser does not expect that the Fund will invest more than 20% of its total assets in bank loans. The Fund may invest up to 15% of its total assets in securities that are not denominated in U.S. dollars including, but not limited to, corporate bonds, government and agency issues, Rule 144A securities, convertible securities, bank loans, mortgage-backed, and asset-backed securities.
Each Fund has four classes of shares: Class A, C, I, and Y, each with different expenses and dividends. A front-end sales charge is normally added to the net asset value (“NAV”) for Class A shares. There is no front-end sales charge in the case of Class C, I, and Y shares. There may be a contingent deferred sales charge (“CDSC”) in certain cases as follows: Class A shares purchased without an initial sales charge and redeemed within the first year of purchase (subject to certain exceptions as set forth in each Fund’s prospectus) and Class C shares redeemed within the first year of purchase. All classes of shares have equal voting rights, with the exception of matters that relate solely to one class.
2. | Significant Accounting Policies |
The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed consistently by the Funds in the preparation of their financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”).
| A. Valuation of Investments |
The Funds’ investments in fixed income securities are generally valued using the prices provided directly by independent third party services or provided directly from one or more broker dealers or market makers, each in accordance with the valuation policies and procedures approved by the Funds’ Board of Trustees (the “Board”).
The pricing services may use valuation models or matrix pricing, which consider yield or prices with respect to comparable bond quotations from bond dealers or by reference to other securities that are considered comparable in such characteristics as credit rating, interest rates and maturity date to determine the current value. The Funds’ investments in bank loans are normally valued at the bid quotation obtained from dealers in loans by an independent pricing service in accordance with the Funds’ valuation policies and procedures approved by the Board. Short-term securities with remaining maturities of 60 days or less may be valued at amortized cost, which approximates fair value. Over-the-Counter (“OTC”) options are valued by an independent pricing service using a mathematical model, which incorporates a number of market data factors, such as the trades and prices of the underlying instruments.
A Valuation Committee, made up of officers of the Trust and employees of the Adviser, is responsible for determining, in accordance with the Funds’ valuation policies and procedures approved by the Board; (1) whether market quotations are readily available for investments held by the Funds; and (2) the fair value of investments held by the Funds for which market quotations are not readily available or are deemed not reliable by the Adviser. In certain cases, authorized pricing service vendors may not provide prices for a security held by the Funds, or the price provided by such pricing service vendor is deemed unreliable by the Adviser. In such cases, the Funds may use market maker quotations provided by an established market maker for that security (i.e., broker quotes) to value the security if the Adviser has experience obtaining quotations from the market maker and the Adviser determines that quotations obtained from the market maker in the past have generally been reliable (or, if the Adviser has no such experience with respect to a market maker, it determines based on other information available to it that quotations to be obtained by it from the market maker are reasonably likely to be reliable). In any such case, the Adviser will review any market quotations so obtained in

light of other information in its possession for their general reliability.
Bond investments are valued on the basis of last available bid prices or current market quotations provided by dealers or pricing services. Bank loan positions are valued at the bid price from one or more brokers or dealers as obtained from a pricing service. In determining the value of a particular investment, pricing services may use certain information with respect to transactions in such investments, quotations from dealers, pricing matrixes, market transactions in comparable investments, various relationships observed in the market between investments and calculated yield measures. Asset-backed and mortgage-backed securities are valued by independent pricing services using models that consider estimated cash flows of each tranche of the security, establish a benchmark yield and develop an estimated tranche-specific spread to the benchmark yield based on the unique attributes of the tranche.
Bank loans in which the Funds may invest have similar risks to lower-rated fixed income securities. 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. Senior secured bank loans are supported by collateral; however, the value of the collateral may be insufficient to cover the amount owed to the Funds. By relying on a third party to administer a loan, the Funds are subject to the risk that the third party will fail to perform its obligations. The loans in which the Funds will invest are largely floating rate instruments; therefore, the interest rate risk generally is lower than for fixed-rate debt obligations. However, from the perspective of the borrower, an increase in interest rates may adversely affect the borrower’s financial condition. Due to the unique and customized nature of loan agreements evidencing loans and the private syndication thereof, loans are not as easily purchased or sold as publicly traded securities. Although the range of investors in loans has broadened in recent years, there can be no assurance that future levels of supply and demand in loan trading will provide the degree of liquidity which currently exists in the market. In addition, the terms of the loans may restrict their transferability without borrower consent. These factors may have an adverse effect on the market price and the Funds’ ability to dispose of particular portfolio investments. A less liquid secondary market also
may make it more difficult for the Funds to obtain precise valuations of the high yield loans in its portfolio.
The Funds may invest in collateralized debt obligations (“CDOs”), which include collateralized bond obligations (“CBOs”) and collateralized loan obligations (“CLOs”). CBOs and CLOs are types of asset-backed securities. A CDO is an entity that is backed by a diversified pool of debt securities (CBOs) or syndicated bank loans (CLOs). The cash flows of the CDO can be split into multiple segments, called “tranches,” which will vary in risk profile and yield. The riskiest segment is the subordinated or “equity” tranche. This tranche bears the greatest risk of defaults from the underlying assets in the CDO and serves to protect the other, more senior, tranches from default in all but the most severe circumstances. Since it is shielded from defaults by the more junior tranches, a “senior” tranche will typically have higher credit ratings and lower yields than their underlying securities, and often receive investment grade ratings from one or more of the nationally recognized rating agencies. Despite the protection from the more junior tranches, senior tranches can experience substantial losses due to actual defaults, increased sensitivity to future defaults and the disappearance of one or more protecting tranches as a result of changes in the credit profile of the underlying pool of assets.
Fair value is defined as the price that the Funds would receive upon selling an investment in a timely transaction to an independent buyer in the principal or most advantageous market of the investment. A three-tier hierarchy is utilized to maximize the use of observable market data 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, market participants would consider 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
144

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED) (CONTINUED)
December 31, 2015
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.
Level 1 – quoted prices in active markets for identical securities
Level 2 – other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.)
Level 3 – significant unobservable inputs (including the Funds’ own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments)
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.
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 in its entirety is determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety.
The following is a summary of the inputs used as of December 31, 2015 in valuing the Funds’ investments:

| B. | Forward Commitments and When-Issued Delayed Delivery Securities |
The Funds may purchase securities on a when-issued basis and may purchase or sell securities on a forward commitment basis. Settlement of such transactions normally occurs within a month or more after the purchase or sale commitment is made. The Funds may purchase securities under such conditions with the intention of actually acquiring them, but may enter into a separate agreement to sell the securities before the settlement date. Since the value of securities purchased may fluctuate prior to settlement, the Funds may be required to pay more at settlement than the security is worth. In addition, the Funds are not entitled to any of
the interest earned prior to settlement. When purchasing a security on a delayed delivery basis, the Funds assume the rights and risks of ownership of the security, including the risk of price and yield fluctuations. In the event of default by the counterparty, the Funds’ maximum amount of loss is the unrealized appreciation of unsettled when-issued transactions, which is shown in the Schedule of Investments.
| C. | Cash and Short-Term Investments |
Cash and cash equivalents consist principally of short-term investments that are readily convertible into cash and have original maturities of three months or less. At December 31, 2015, all cash and cash equivalents are held by the custodian.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED) (CONTINUED)
December 31, 2015
| D. | Investment Transactions, Related Investment Income and Expenses |
Investment transactions are accounted for on a trade date basis. Interest income is recorded on the accrual basis, including the amortization of premiums and accretion of discounts on bonds held using the yield-to-maturity method.
Realized gains and losses on investment transactions and unrealized appreciation and depreciation of investments are reported for financial statement and Federal income tax purposes on the identified cost method.
Expenses are recorded on the accrual basis as incurred.
Effective July 1, 2015, the Funds no longer had redemption fees.
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from these estimates.
| G. | Federal Income Taxation |
The Funds have elected to be taxed as a Regulated Investment Company (“RIC”) under sub-chapter M of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and intend to maintain this qualification and to distribute substantially all of their net taxable income to their shareholders. As of December 31, 2015, the Funds had no uncertain tax positions that would require financial statement recognition, de-recognition, or disclosure. The Funds file a U.S. Federal income tax return annually after their fiscal year-end, which is subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service for a period of three years from the date of the filings.
| H. | Dividends and Distributions |
Each Fund declares a dividend daily based on the Adviser’s projections of the Funds’ estimated net investment income and distributes such dividend monthly. To the extent that these distributions exceed net investment income, they may be classified as return of capital. The Funds also pay a distribution at least annually from their net realized capital gains, if any.
Dividends and distributions are recorded on the ex-dividend date. All common shares have equal dividend and other distribution rights. A notice disclosing the source(s) of a distribution will be provided if payment is made from any source other than net investment income. Any such notice would be provided only for informational purposes in order to comply with the requirements of Section 19(a) of the 1940 Act and not for tax reporting purposes. The tax composition of the Funds’ distributions for each calendar year is reported on Internal Revenue Service Form 1099-DIV.
Dividends from net investment income and distributions from realized gains from investment transactions have been determined in accordance with Federal income tax regulations and may differ from net investment income and realized gains recorded by the Funds for financial reporting purposes. These differences, which could be temporary or permanent in nature may result in reclassification of distributions; however, net investment income, net realized gains and losses, and net assets are not affected.
The Funds may invest in bank loans, which usually take the form of loan participations and assignments. Loan participations and assignments are agreements to make money available to U.S. or foreign corporations, partnerships or other business entities (the “Borrower”) in a specified amount, at a specified rate and within a specified time. A loan is typically originated, negotiated and structured by a U.S. or foreign bank, insurance company or other financial institution (the “Agent”) for a group of loan investors (“Loan Investors”). The Agent typically administers and enforces the loan on behalf of the other Loan Investors in the syndicate and may hold any collateral on behalf of the Loan Investors. Such loan participations and assignments are typically senior, secured and collateralized in nature. The Funds record an investment when the Borrower withdraws money and records interest as earned. These loans pay interest at rates which are periodically reset by reference to a base lending rate plus a spread. These base lending rates are generally the prime rate offered by a designated U.S. bank or London InterBank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”).
The loans in which the Funds invest may be subject to some restrictions on resale. For example, the Funds may be contractually obligated to receive approval from the Agent and/or Borrower prior to the sale of these investments. The Funds generally have no right to
152
Babson Capital Funds Trust 2015 Semi-Annual Report
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED) (CONTINUED)
December 31, 2015
enforce compliance with the terms of the loan agreement with the Borrower. As a result, the Funds assume the credit risk of the Borrower, the selling participant and any other persons interpositioned between the Funds and the Borrower (“Intermediate Participants”). In the event that the Borrower, selling participant or Intermediate Participants become insolvent or enter into bankruptcy, the Funds may incur certain costs and delays in realizing payment or may suffer a loss of principal and/or interest.
Unfunded commitments represent the remaining obligation of the Funds to the Borrower. At any point in time, up to the maturity date of the issue, the Borrower may demand the unfunded portion. Until demanded by the Borrower, unfunded commitments are not recognized as an asset on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities. Unrealized appreciation/depreciation on unfunded commitments presented on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities represents mark to market of the unfunded portion of the Funds’ bank loans. As of December 31, 2015, the Funds had no unfunded loan commitments.
The following is a description of the derivative instruments that the Funds utilize as part of their investment strategy, including the primary underlying risk exposures related to the instrument.
Forward Foreign Currency Exchange Contracts – The Funds are subject to foreign currency exchange rate risk in the normal course of pursuing their investment objectives. The Funds may use forward foreign currency exchange contracts to hedge against changes in the value of foreign currencies. The Funds may enter into forward foreign currency exchange contracts obligating the Funds to deliver or receive a currency at a specified future date. Forward contracts are valued daily and unrealized appreciation or depreciation is recorded daily as the difference between the contract exchange rate and the closing forward rate applied to the face amount of the contract. A realized gain or loss is recorded at the time the forward contract expires. Credit risk may arise as a result of the failure of the counterparty to comply with the terms of the contract. The Funds consider the creditworthiness of each counterparty to a contract in evaluating potential credit risk quarterly. The Funds are also subject to credit risk with respect to the counterparties to derivative contracts that are not cleared through a central counterparty but instead are traded
over-the-counter between two counterparties. If a counterparty to an over-the-counter derivative becomes bankrupt or otherwise fails to perform its obligations under a derivative contract due to financial difficulties, the Funds may experience significant delays in obtaining any recovery under the derivative contract in a bankruptcy or other reorganization proceeding. The Funds may obtain only a limited recovery or may obtain no recovery in such circumstances. The counterparty risk for cleared derivatives is generally lower than for uncleared over-the-counter derivative transactions since generally a clearing organization becomes substituted for each counterparty to a cleared derivative contract and, in effect, guarantees the parties’ performance under the contract as each party to a trade looks only to the clearing house for performance of financial obligations. However, there can be no assurance that the clearing house, or its members, will satisfy its obligations to the Funds. In addition, in the event of a bankruptcy of a clearing house, the Funds could experience a loss of the funds deposited with such clearing house as margin and of any profits on its open positions. The counterparty risk to the Funds is limited to the net unrealized gain, if any, on the contract.
The use of forward foreign currency exchange contracts does not eliminate fluctuations in the underlying prices of the Funds’ investment securities; however, it does establish a rate of exchange that can be achieved in the future. The use of forward foreign currency exchange contracts involves the risk that anticipated currency movements will not be accurately predicted. A forward foreign currency exchange contract would limit the risk of loss due to a decline in the value of a particular currency; however, it would also limit any potential gain that might result should the value of the currency increase instead of decrease. These contracts may involve market risk in excess of the amount of receivable or payable reflected on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities.
The Funds may purchase and sell futures contracts to enhance returns, to attempt to hedge some of its investment risk, or as a substitute position in lieu of holding the underlying asset on which the instrument is based. At the time of entering into a futures transaction, an investor is required to deposit and maintain a specified amount of cash or eligible securities called “initial margin.” Subsequent payments made or received by a Fund called “variation margin” are made on a daily basis as the market price of the futures contract fluctuates. Each Fund will
153
Babson Capital Funds Trust 2015 Semi-Annual Report
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED) (CONTINUED)
December 31, 2015
record an unrealized gain (loss) based on the amount of variation margin. When a contract is closed, a realized gain (loss) is recorded equal to the difference between the opening and closing value of the contract.
The Funds may purchase call or put options. When a Fund purchases an option, the premium paid by the Fund is recorded as an asset and is subsequently adjusted to the current fair value of the option purchased. Purchasing call options tends to increase the Fund’s exposure to the underlying instrument. Purchasing put options tends to decrease the Fund’s exposure to the underlying instrument. Premiums paid for purchasing options that expire are treated as realized losses. Premiums paid for purchasing options that are exercised or closed are added to the amounts paid or offset against the proceeds on the underlying security to determine the realized gain or loss. The risks associated with purchasing put and call options are potential loss of the premium paid and, in the instances of over-the-counter derivatives, the failure of the counterparty to honor its obligation under the contract.
The Funds may enter into swap options (“swaptions”). A swaption is an option to enter into a pre-defined swap agreement by some specified date in the future. The writer of the swaption becomes the counterparty to the swap if the buyer exercises. The interest rate swaption agreement will specify whether the buyer of the swaption will be a fixed rate receiver or a fixed rate buyer. Depending on the terms of the particular option agreement, a Fund generally will incur a greater degree of risk when the Fund writes a swaption than the Fund will incur when it purchases a swaption. When a Fund purchases a swaption, the Fund’s risk of loss is limited to the amount of the premium it has paid should it decide to let the swaption expire unexercised.
When a Fund writes a covered call or a put option, an amount equal to the premium received by the Fund is included in the Fund’s Statement of Assets and Liabilities as an asset and as an equivalent liability. The amount of the liability is subsequently marked-to-market to reflect the current market value of the option written. The Fund receives a premium on the sale of a call option but gives up the opportunity to profit from any increase in stock value above the exercise price of the option, and when a Fund writes a put option, it is exposed to a decline in the price of the underlying security.
Whether an option which a Fund has written expires on its stipulated expiration date or a Fund enters into a
closing purchase transaction, the Fund realizes a gain (or loss, if the cost of a closing purchase transaction exceeds the premium received when the option was sold) without regard to any unrealized gain or loss on the underlying security, and the liability related to such option is extinguished. If a call option which a Fund has written is exercised, the Fund realizes a capital gain or loss from the sale of the underlying security, and the cost basis of the lots sold are decreased by the premium originally received. When a put option which a Fund has written is exercised, the amount of the premium originally received will reduce the cost of the security which the Fund purchases upon exercise of the option. Realized gains (losses) on purchased options are included in net realized gain (loss) from investments.
The Funds’ use of written options involves, to varying degrees, elements of market risk in excess of the amount recognized in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities. The face or contract amounts of these instruments reflect the extent of the Funds’ exposure to market risk. The risks may be caused by an imperfect correlation between movements in the price of the instrument and the price of the underlying securities, currencies and interest rates.

The Funds may enter into credit default swap contracts. As a seller of a credit default swap contract (“seller of protection”), a Fund is required to pay the notional amount or other agreed-upon value of a referenced debt obligation to the counterparty in the event of a default by or other credit event involving the referenced issuer, obligation or index. In return, a Fund receives from the counterparty a periodic stream of payments over the term of the contract.
154

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED) (CONTINUED)
December 31, 2015
As a purchaser of a credit default swap contract (“buyer of protection”), a Fund would receive the notional amount or other agreed-upon value of a referenced debt obligation from the counterparty in the event of default by or other credit event involving the referenced issuer, obligation or index. In return, a Fund would make periodic payments to the counterparty over the term of the contracts, provided no event of default has occurred.
These credit default swaps may have as a reference obligation corporate or sovereign issuers or credit indices. These credit indices are comprised of a basket of securities representing a particular sector of the market. During the period, Active Short Duration Bond Fund and Total Return Bond Fund entered into credit default swaps based on a CMBX index, which is comprised of commercial mortgage-backed securities.
Credit default swaps are fair valued based upon quotations from counterparties, brokers or market makers and the change in value, if any, is recorded as an unrealized appreciation or depreciation. For a credit default swap sold by a Fund, payment of the agreed- upon amount made by a Fund in the event of default of the referenced debt obligation is recorded as the cost of the referenced debt obligation purchased/received. For a credit default swap purchased by a Fund, the agreed- upon amount received by a Fund in the event of default of the referenced debt obligation is recorded as proceeds from sale/delivery of the referenced debt obligation and the resulting gain or loss realized on the referenced debt obligation is recorded as such by a Fund.
Any upfront payments made or received upon entering a credit default swap contract would be amortized or accreted over the life of the swap and recorded as realized gains or losses. Collateral, in the form of cash or securities, may be required to be held in segregated accounts with the custodian bank or broker in accordance with the swap agreement. The value and credit rating of each credit default swap where a Fund is the seller of protection, are both measures of the current payment/performance risk of the swap. As the value of the swap changes as a positive or negative percentage of the total notional amount, the payment/performance risk may decrease or increase, respectively. The maximum potential amount of future payments (undiscounted) that a Fund as a seller of protection could be required to
make under a credit default swap agreement would be an amount equal to the notional amount of the agreement. These potential amounts would be partially offset by any recovery values of the respective referenced obligations, upfront payments received upon entering into the agreement, or net amounts received from the settlement of buy protection credit default swap agreements entered into by a Fund for the same referenced entity or entities.
Entering into credit default swaps involves credit and market risk. Such risks involve the possibility that there will be no liquid market for these agreements, that the counterparty to the agreements may default on its obligation to perform or disagree as to the meaning of the contractual terms in the agreements, that there may be unfavorable changes in interest rates, and that the Adviser does not correctly predict the creditworthiness of the issuers of the reference obligation on which the credit default swap is based.
Interest rate swaps involve the exchange by a Fund with another party of their respective commitments to receive or pay interest (e.g., an exchange of fixed rate payments for floating rate payments) with respect to a notional amount of principal.
During the period ended December 31, 2015, the Funds’ direct investment in derivatives consisted of forward foreign currency exchange contracts, futures contracts, credit default swaps, interest rate swaps, purchased options, and written options.
The following is a summary of the fair value of derivative instruments held directly by the Funds as of December 31, 2015:

K. | Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities |
The Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2011-11 “Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities” (“ASU 2011-11”). These disclosure requirements are intended to help better assess the effect or potential effect of offsetting arrangements on a Fund’s financial position. In addition, FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2013-01 “Clarifying the Scope of Offsetting Assets and Liabilities” (“ASU 2013-01”), specifying which transactions are subject to disclosures about offsetting.
The following tables illustrate gross and net information about recognized assets eligible for offset in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities; and disclose such amounts subject to an enforceable master netting agreement or similar agreement, by counterparty. A master netting agreement is an agreement between two counterparties who have multiple contracts with each other that provides for the net settlement of all contracts, as well as cash collateral, through a single payment in the event of default on or termination of any one contract:

December 31, 2015
Investing in securities of foreign companies and foreign governments involves special risks and considerations not typically associated with investing in U.S. companies and the U.S. government. These risks include valuation of currencies and adverse political and economic developments. Moreover, securities of many foreign companies, foreign governments, and their markets may be less liquid and their prices more volatile than those of securities of comparable U.S. companies and the U.S. government.

Foreign currency transactions are translated into U.S. dollars on the following basis: (i) market value of investment securities, assets and liabilities at the daily rates of exchange, and (ii) purchases and sales of investment securities, dividend and interest income and certain expenses at the rates of exchange prevailing on the respective dates of such transactions. For financial reporting purposes, the Funds do not isolate changes in the exchange rate of investment securities from the fluctuations arising from changes in the market prices of securities. However, for Federal income tax purposes, the Funds do isolate and treat as ordinary income the effect of changes in foreign exchange rates on realized gain or loss from the sale of investment securities and payables and receivables arising from trade-date and settlement-date differences.
The Funds seek to manage counterparty credit risk by entering into agreements only with counterparties the Adviser believes have the financial resources to honor their obligations. The Adviser monitors the financial stability of the Funds’ counterparties.
The Funds have entered into an Investment Management Agreement (the “Agreement”) with the Adviser. Pursuant to the Agreement, the Funds have agreed to pay the
Adviser a fee payable at the end of each calendar month as set forth below:

Pursuant to the expense waiver/reimbursement agreement, the Adviser is entitled to be reimbursed for any fees the Adviser waives and Fund expenses that the Adviser reimburses for a period of three years following such fee waivers and expense reimbursements, to the extent that such reimbursement of the Adviser by a Fund will not cause the Fund to exceed any applicable expense limitation that is in place for the Fund.
The contractual management fee waiver and expense reimbursement agreements between the Funds and the Adviser will remain in effect until November 1, 2016 and may be terminated only upon the approval of the Funds’ Board of Trustees.
Subject to the supervision of the Adviser and the Board, BCGA and Cornerstone manage the investment and reinvestment of a portion of the assets of the Funds, as allocated from time to time to BCGG and Cornerstone. The Adviser (not the Funds) will pay a portion of the fees it receives to BCGG and Cornerstone in return for their services.
4. | 12b-1 Distribution and Service Plan |
ALPS Distributors, Inc. (the “Distributor”) is the Distributor of the Funds’ shares as of December 31, 2015.
The Funds have adopted a Distribution and Shareholder Services Plan (the “Plan”), pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act. Under the Plan, each Fund’s Class A and Class C shares may compensate certain financial institutions, including the Distributor, for certain distribution and shareholder servicing activities. The Funds’ Class A shares may expend an aggregate amount, on an annual basis, not to exceed 0.25% of the value of the average daily net assets of a Fund attributable to Class A shares and 1.00% of the value of the average daily net assets of a Fund attributable to Class C shares. The Plan provides that the distribution and service fees are payable to the Distributor regardless of the amounts actually expended by the Distributor for distribution of the Funds’ shares and service activities.
Under its terms, the Funds’ Plan shall remain in effect from year to year, provided such continuance is approved annually by a vote of a majority of the Boards’ members and a majority of those Boards’ members who are not “interested persons” of the Funds and who have no direct or indirect financial interest in the operation of the Plan or in any agreement related to the Plan.

During the period ended December 31, 2015, the Trust (the “Borrower”) entered into a Credit Agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) with State Street Bank and Trust Company (the “Bank”). The Credit Agreement provides for a revolving credit facility of $40,000,000 (the “Facility Amount”) to be utilized for temporary or emergency purposes to fund shareholder redemptions or for other short-term liquidity purposes. Per the Credit Agreement, outstanding principal on the loan shall bear interest at a variable rate per annum equal to the higher of (a) the Federal Funds Rate as in effect on the day of the borrowing plus 1.25% and (b) the Overnight LIBOR rate as in effect on the day of the borrowing plus 1.25%. In addition, the Borrower shall pay to the Bank a commitment fee at the rate of 0.25% per annum on the daily unused portion of the Facility Amount. As of December 31, 2015, there were no loans outstanding pursuant to the Credit Agreement.

Babson Capital Funds Trust 2015 Semi-Annual Report
BASIS FOR BOARD RENEWAL OF INVESTMENT MANAGEMENT AGREEMENT AND SUB-ADVISORY AGREEMENTS
The Investment Company Act of 1940 (the “1940 Act”) requires that a majority of both the full Board of Trustees and the Trustees who are not interested persons of the Trust, as defined under the 1940 Act (“Independent Trustees”), voting separately, annually approve the continuation of the Investment Management Agreement between the Trust, on behalf of each of its eight series funds (the “Funds”), and Babson Capital Management LLC (“Babson Capital”) (the “Management Agreement”), the Sub-Advisory Agreement between Babson Capital and Babson Capital Global Advisors Limited (“BCGA”) (the “BCGA Sub-Advisory Agreement”) and the Sub-Advisory Agreement between Babson Capital and Cornerstone Real Estate Advisers LLC (“Cornerstone”) (the “Cornerstone Sub-Advisory Agreement”, and together with the Management Agreement and the BCGA Sub-Advisory Agreement, the “Agreements”). The Trustees considered matters bearing on the Funds and the Agreements at their meetings throughout the year, including a review of the Funds’ performance at each regular meeting. At a meeting held on July 16, 2015 (the “Meeting”), the Trustees met for the purpose of considering whether to approve the continuation of the Agreements for the Funds. The Trustees’ review process and considerations in approval the Agreements are set forth below.
Prior to the Meeting, the Trustees requested and received from Ropes & Gray LLP, counsel to the Funds, a memorandum describing the Trustees’ legal responsibilities in connection with their review and approval of the Agreements. The Trustees noted that they initially approved the Agreements for Babson Global Floating Rate Fund and Babson Global Credit Income Opportunities Fund in July 2013, and that they initially approved the Agreements for Babson Active Short Duration Bond Fund, Babson Emerging Markets Debt Blended Total Return Fund, Babson Emerging Markets Local Currency Debt Fund, Babson Global High Yield Fund, Babson Total Return Bond Fund and Babson U.S. High Yield Fund in January 2015. The Trustees also requested and received from Babson Capital extensive written and oral information regarding other matters including: the principal terms of the Agreements; the reasons why Babson Capital was proposing the continuance of the Agreements; Babson Capital and its personnel; the Funds’ investment performance, including comparative performance information; the nature and quality of the services provided by Babson Capital to the Funds; financial strength of Babson Capital; the fee arrangements between Babson Capital and each Fund and each Fund’s fee and expense information, including comparative fee and expense information; profitability of the Agreements to Babson Capital; and “fallout” benefits to Babson Capital resulting from the Agreements.
The Trustees’ conclusion as to the continuation of the Agreements was based on a comprehensive consideration of all information provided to the Board and not the result of any single issue. Some of the factors that figured particularly in the Trustees’ deliberations are described below, although individual Trustees may have evaluated the information presented differently from one another, giving different weights to different factors. It is also important to recognize that the Board’s review of the Agreements is the result of ongoing review and discussion, rather than a single discussion. The Trustees’ conclusions may be based, in part, on their consideration of these arrangements during the course of the year and in prior years.
The Trustees considered the terms of the Agreements, including the scope of the advisory services provided under the Agreements. In evaluating the nature, scope and quality of the services provided by Babson Capital to Babson Emerging Markets Local Currency Debt Fund and Babson U.S. High Yield Fund, the Trustees considered Babson Capital’s specific responsibilities in the day-to-day management of the Fund, the qualifications, experience and responsibilities of the portfolio managers and other key personnel that are involved in the day-to-day management of the Fund, the ability of Babson Capital to attract and retain high-quality personnel, and the organizational depth and stability of Babson Capital. In evaluating the nature, scope and quality of the services provided by Babson Capital and BCGA to Babson Emerging Markets Debt Blended Total Return Fund, Babson Global High Yield Bond Fund, Babson Global Floating Rate Fund and Babson Global Credit Income Opportunities Fund (“BCGA sub-advised Funds”) and by Babson Capital and Cornerstone to Babson Active Short Duration Fund and Babson Total Return Bond Fund (“Cornerstone sub-advised Funds”), the Trustees considered Babson Capital’s specific responsibilities in the day-to-day management of the Fund, the qualifications, experience and responsibilities of the portfolio managers and other key personnel that are involved in the day-to-day management of the Fund, the ability of each of Babson Capital and BCGA and Cornerstone to attract and retain high-quality personnel, and the organizational depth and stability of each of Babson, BCGA and Cornerstone. The Trustees also considered the trading capabilities of Babson Capital.

Babson Capital Funds Trust 2015 Semi-Annual Report
BASIS FOR BOARD RENEWAL OF INVESTMENT MANAGEMENT AGREEMENT AND SUB-ADVISORY AGREEMENTS (CONTINUED)
The Trustees reviewed the Funds’ total return investment performance, as well as the performance of peer groups of funds, over various time periods, using information provided by Lipper Inc. (“Lipper”) and Babson Capital. The Trustees noted that the total return performance of Babson Global Floating Rate Fund’s and Babson Global Credit Income Opportunities Fund’s shares each ranked in the 4th quintile of the Lipper performance universe for the one-year period ended December 30, 2014 (the 1st quintile being the best performers and the 5th quintile being the worst performers). The Trustees noted that the remaining six Funds had commenced operations after June 30, 2015 or had not yet commenced operations, and had limited or no operating histories and performance records. As a result, the Trustees did not receive information on the investment performance of these Funds. However, in the case of Babson Active Short Duration Bond Fund, Babson Emerging Markets Local Currency Debt Fund, Babson Emerging Markets Debt Blended Total Return Fund and Babson Total Return Bond Fund, each of which was modeled on a substantially similar fund sub-advised by Babson Capital (each, a “similar fund”), the Trustees considered one-, three-, and five-year performance information for the corresponding similar fund. In the course of their deliberations, the Trustees also took into account information provided by Babson Capital during investment review meetings conducted with portfolio management personnel during the course of the year. After reviewing these and related factors, the Trustees concluded, within the context of their overall conclusions regarding the Agreements, that they were satisfied with the responses of Babson Capital and BCGA and Cornerstone.
The Trustees considered the investment management fee paid by each Fund to Babson Capital pursuant to the Management Agreement. The Trustees noted that Babson Capital (and not the BCGA sub-advised Funds) pays BCGA its sub-advisory fee under the BCGA Sub-Advisory Agreement and that Babson Capital (and not the Cornerstone sub-advised Funds) pays Cornerstone its sub-advisory fee under the Cornerstone Sub-Advisory Agreement. In assessing the reasonableness of the fee paid by the Funds under the Management Agreement, the Trustees considered, among other information, each Fund’s advisory fee and the total expense ratio for the Fund’s shares as a percentage of net asset value and the advisory fee and total expense ratios of peer groups of funds based on information provided by Lipper Inc. The Trustees considered that, according to the Lipper data (which takes into account any fee reductions or expense limitations that were in effect during the last fiscal year), Babson Global Floating Rate Fund’s effective advisory fee rate and total expense ratio were each lower than the Lipper expense group median. The Trustees considered that, according to the Lipper data, Babson Global Credit Income Opportunities Fund’s effective advisory fee rate was lower than the Lipper expense group median and its total expense ratio was approximately at the Lipper expense group median. The Trustees also considered that, according to the Lipper data, the effective advisory fee rate was expected to be lower than the Lipper expense group median and the total expense ratio was expected to be approximately at the Lipper expense group median for Babson Active Short Duration Bond Fund, Babson Emerging Markets Local Currency Debt Fund, Babson Emerging Markets Debt Blended Total Return Fund, Babson Global High Yield Fund, Babson Total Return Bond Fund, and Babson U.S. High Yield Fund.
The Trustees then considered that, as each Fund’s assets increase, each Fund and its shareholders would be expected to realize economies of scale as certain expenses, such as fixed operating costs, become a smaller percentage of overall assets. They considered the extent to which any such savings would benefit shareholders and Babson Capital’s statement that it would consider proposing breakpoints in the management fee payable by a Fund once a Fund approached the breakeven point.
The Trustees reviewed information prepared by Babson Capital regarding Babson Capital’s costs of managing the Funds, and the profitability of the Management Agreement to Babson Capital. In considering the profitability of the Babson Capital, the Board noted that BCGA and Cornerstone are affiliates of Babson Capital and are paid by Babson Capital, and, therefore, did not consider their profitability separately. The Trustees then considered potential “fall-out” benefits to Babson Capital and its affiliates as a result of Babson Capital’s relationship with BCFT. The Board concluded that, in light of the expected costs of providing investment management and other services to BCFT and Babson Capital’s commitment to cap the expenses of each Fund, the other ancillary benefits that Babson Capital and its affiliates expect to receive supported the approval of the Agreements. The Trustees concluded that, at this time, and in light of the nature, extent and quality of the respective services expected to be provided by Babson Capital, the fee rates and expenses of each Fund

supported the approval of the Management Agreement, the BCGA Sub-Advisory Agreement and the Cornerstone Sub-Advisory Agreement.
Based on their evaluation of factors that they deemed to be material, including those factors described above, the Board of Trustees, including the Independent Trustees, concluding that the Management Agreement, the BCGA Sub-Advisory Agreement and the Cornerstone Sub-Advisory Agreement should be continued for an additional one-year period.
