Dear Shareholder,
The first half of 2016 began with a continuation of the slow growth, low interest rate environment that has become a familiar mantra, and ended with a seismic shock that caught nearly everyone by surprise, with Britons voting in favor of leaving the European Union (EU). Although the results of the United Kingdom’s June referendum on EU membership rattled financial markets, as evidenced by the extreme post-vote market reaction, the true long-term impact of the decision will take time to materialize. In the near term, the United Kingdom’s divorce from the EU will likely be messy and costly in terms of slower growth for the United Kingdom, Europe and the world. However, the Brexit vote may serve as a catalyst for long-needed governance reforms within the EU.
In the U.S., real Gross Domestic Product (GDP) growth slowed for the third consecutive quarter, and household consumption, which accounts for about 70% of the U.S. economy, grew at its weakest pace in two years. The euro-area economy grew at its fastest pace in a year during the first quarter of 2016, but its growth rate is likely to slow in the second quarter according to the European Central Bank, and the results of the Brexit vote should cloud the outlook for euro zone growth even further. In Asia, the Bank of Japan refrained from monetary easing at its June meeting — preferring not to front-run the Brexit vote —but it may soon take action to stabilize Japan’s growth and halt a rising yen. Recent manufacturing data in China has weakened, leading to additional concerns for China’s growth outlook. Globally, uncertain growth prospects continue to drive safe-haven sovereign yields lower. Thus, market uncertainty remains the prevalent economic theme globally, and one cannot help but think what role anti-establishment fervor and nationalistic sentiment will play in the upcoming elections in Europe and the U.S.
Particularly when times are uncertain, investors should seek out experienced firms with a proven history of investment stewardship. At Babson, our mutual fund platform offers a diverse selection of institutional quality investment vehicles that provide investors with access to the global fixed income markets. With investment teams in local markets conducting rigorous fundamental analysis on every company in which we invest, we continually monitor market risk factors and base our investment decisions on thorough research, prudent risk management and the time-tested principles of portfolio diversification. We view our relationship with our shareholders as a partnership, and we are committed to helping you achieve your long-term goals by adhering to investment disciplines that have proven successful over many market cycles.
On behalf of the entire Babson team, we thank you for your partnership, we value the trust you have placed in us and we look forward to helping you achieve your investment objectives.
Sincerely,

Babson Global Floating Rate Fund 2016 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 annual reporting period from July 1, 2015 through June 30, 2016 of 0.22% and underperformed the Credit Suisse Global Loan Benchmark (the “Benchmark”), which returned 1.24%.1 |
What factors influenced performance of the Fund?
| n | | For the annual reporting period, the Fund’s European loans and both U.S. and European bonds were the largest contributors to performance relative to the Benchmark. The Fund’s U.S. loan holdings, however, negatively impacted Fund performance. Commodity related companies comprised seven of the Fund’s top ten detractors. |
| n | | Although prices for most U.S. senior secured loans and high yield bonds of commodity-related issuers bottomed in mid-February, the sector faced significant selling pressure over the past twelve months and detracted from performance. The Fund was negatively impacted by its exposure to these credits relative to the Benchmark. Seven of the Fund’s bottom ten contributors to its underperformance were commodity-related issuers. In our view, the underlying credit fundamentals for many of these issuers imply a higher value than current trading levels. We feel the selling was indiscriminate at times. While it is difficult to predict the price of commodities, we believe that most of these companies have sufficient liquidity and flexibility in their capital expenditure and operating budgets to withstand the volatility in commodity prices for longer than their current prices would suggest. |
Describe recent portfolio activity.
| n | | The number of holdings in the portfolio decreased by ten credits, from 197 to 187 over the year while the Fund’s asset size remained basically unchanged. Over the last 12 months, the Fund increased its exposure to the U.S. and reduced its exposure to Europe. The Fund’s U.S. exposure increased by 4.9% to 69.2%. |
| n | | However, despite the decrease in European exposure, the Fund remained overweight to European assets relative to the global senior secured loan market. The Fund increased its exposure to U.S. assets over the past twelve months as prices widened more significantly than in Europe which, in our opinion, positions the Fund to capture the best risk-adjusted returns from the market. |
| n | | Over the past 12 months, the Fund’s top three sector exposures have changed as only Healthcare, Education and Childcare remained in the top three. Three sectors had changes larger than 2.0% during the previous twelve months with Diversified/Conglomerate Services down 3.6%, Finance down 2.4% and Telecommunications down 2.1%. The two largest sector increases were Containers, Packaging and Glass and Electronics, which both increased 1.9%. |
Describe portfolio positioning at period end.
| n | | The Fund finished the annual reporting period, June 30, 2016, with a 83.8% weighting to global senior secured loans. The remainder of the portfolio was invested in global high yield bonds (9.2%), primarily senior secured bonds, and cash (7.0%). |

Babson Global Floating Rate Fund 2016 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 Healthcare, Education and Childcare (11.1%), Chemicals, Plastics and Rubber (7.9%), and Retail Stores (6.6%) as of June 30, 2016. |
| n | | As of June 30, 2016, the Fund had the following credit quality breakdown: 2.9% in Baa assets, 20.5% in Ba assets, 54.6% in single-B credits and 5.5% in Caa and below assets. Approximately 8.3% 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 assets accounted for the remaining 8.3% of the portfolio assets. Over the course of the year, the single-B and not publically rated assets decreased as the Fund’s exposure to Baa, Ba and Caa and below assets all increased.2 |
| n | | The top five countries in the portfolio at the end of the annual reporting period are the United States (69.2%), the United Kingdom (10.7%), Germany (8.6%), France (2.9%) and Canada (2.1%). Overall, the Fund has exposure to 17 different countries, and we continue to focus on building a well-diversified portfolio of global floating rate securities. |
Describe market and portfolio outlook.
| n | | The global high yield markets held up relatively well following the Brexit referendum. While we expect to see some headline-driven weakness in high yield markets in the near term—particularly in sterling denominated credits—it will take time for the economic implications of the vote to become clear. |
| n | | That said, outside of commodity related sectors, credit fundamentals for high yield borrowers across geographies remain largely intact. Further, we believe the European high yield markets will benefit from the expansion of the European Central Bank’s purchasing program to include corporate credit. |
| n | | Negative pressure in the near term will most likely stem from broader market sentiment rather than the fundamentals of individual credits. |

Babson Global Credit Income Opportunities Fund 2016 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 annual reporting period from July 1, 2015 through June 30, 2016, of -0.61% and underperformed the 3 Month USD LIBOR + 500 basis points1 Benchmark, which retuned 5.63%.2 |
What factors influenced performance of the Fund?
| n | | During the annual reporting period, the main contributor to performance was the Fund’s allocation to high yield bonds in both the U.S and Europe. European loans also were a minor positive contributor. |
| n | | Commodity related issuers, including Energy, Metals & Minerals and Utilities, faced significant pressure over the past twelve months and all three sectors were major detractors from performance. The Fund’s Collateralized Loan Obligation (CLO) holdings also had a negative impact on performance during the last year. Eight of the Fund’s bottom ten contributors to its underperformance were commodity-related issuers or CLOs. While commodity related names and CLOs were a detractor for the full year, in the quarter ended June 30, 2016 all were positive contributors. |
| n | | The Fund’s special situation credits had a negative impact on performance during the 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 increased over the year as the Fund grew since July 1, 2015. Despite the increased number of holdings, the Fund’s positioning between the U.S. and Europe remained fairly consistent although there was some movement within individual countries within Europe. |
| n | | During the year, the Fund reduced its exposure to global senior secured loans (down 6.4%) and increased its exposure to global high yield bonds (up 7.1%) 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 following sectors all had shifts of greater than 1% over the last twelve months, Healthcare, Education and Childcare down 2.1%. Telecommunications down 2.0%, Oil & Gas down 1.6%, and Chemicals, Plastics & Rubber up 2.2%. |
Describe portfolio positioning at period end.
| n | | The Fund finished the annual reporting period, June 30, 2016, with an allocation of 53.9%, 22.8%, and 15.3% 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 1.6%, equity at 0.4% and cash at 6.0%. A significant portion of the portfolio (59.1%) is senior secured in nature (includes CLOs backed by secured loans), which can potentially mitigate principal loss in the event that default rates increase. |

Babson Active Short Duration Fund 2016 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 since inception through June 30, 2016 of 1.36%, outperforming the Barclays U.S. 1-3 Year Government Bond Index, which returned 1.18%.1 |
What factors influenced performance of the Fund?
| n | | Duration positioning positively contributed to performance. The front-end of the U.S. Treasury yield curve, between the one to three years, flattened substantially as the market priced in a lower probability of an extended series of Federal Reserve interest rate hikes over the last six months. The Fund was at its maximum duration of approximately 2.9 years during much of 2015. However, over the first six months of 2016 as the short-end of the yield curve flattened, the duration of the Fund has shortened to 1.8 years in accordance with our process. |
| n | | The securitized sector positively impacted performance over the period. Asset-backed securities (ABS) with allocations to student loans and commercial collateral were the largest contributing sub-sectors. Allocations to U.S. agency mortgage-backed securities (MBS) and commercial mortgage-backed securities (CMBS) also benefitted. |
| n | | The Fund’s allocation to corporate credit was mixed; investment grade corporate credit helped performance, while allocations to BB-rated high yield bonds and convertible securities were the primary detractors to performance, driven largely by the sell-off in Metals & Mining and Oil & Gas producers during the first quarter. |
Describe recent portfolio activity.
| n | | Since inception, the Fund has experienced positive inflows and portfolio activity has been allocated across corporate, securitized, and government sectors. |
| n | | ABS secondary market trading volume was steady in the second quarter and the Fund added exposure of commercial sectors such as Student Loans, Automobile, Timeshares, Medical, and Movie Receivables. |
| n | | Following the unexpected decision of British voters to leave the European Union, the Fund exited holdings to European banks and purchased shorter emerging market securities offering a significant spread pick-up to developed market corporate credit. |
Describe portfolio positioning at period end.
| n | | The Fund’s duration ended the period at 1.8 years. Since the beginning of 2016, duration has been steadily shortened from the strategy’s maximum of three years as the slope of the U.S. Treasury yield curve between one and three years has flattened. |
| n | | From a sector perspective, the Fund continues to be well-diversified across corporates, securitized, and governments. The corporate allocation is at approximately 41%, with 35% in investment grade corporates and 6% in BB-rated and crossover high yield. However, a more cautious positioning is warranted given the macro-economic |

| headwinds. The Banking sector has been reduced through sales of European paper and the Fund exited the Energy sector in the first quarter. Opportunities are in specific single names, often post-merger and acquisition event new issuance, where we believe the company fundamentals and spreads provide attractive opportunities. |
| n | | During the period, the securitized ABS allocation was brought to approximately 25%. Automotive loan collateral represents the largest positioning, followed by FFELP Student Loans. Additional collateral consists of timeshares and whole business franchise receivables. An active CMBS positioning remains in shorter-maturity seasoned issues. |
| n | | The agency mortgage-backed securities allocation (4.0%) is in lower coupon 15-year Federal National Mortgage Associations (Fannie Mae’s). |
Describe market and portfolio outlook.
| n | | Volatility will likely persist in the near-term driven by changes in commodity price levels, slow global economic growth, and signs of deterioration in corporate fundamentals. This has driven the U.S. Treasury yield curve flatter between one and three years. In accordance with our duration management process, the duration of the Fund was shortened to approximately 1.8 years. Given the current slope of the yield curve, we will look to further reduce duration. |
| n | | The Fund will continue to maintain the large underweight in both Treasury and Agency securities with likely an active allocation to corporate bonds. Issuance has remained robust due to the low interest rate environment, and the Fund’s credit exposure is focused on short/intermediate maturities with attractive roll-down characteristics. |
| n | | The Fund will continue to selectively add exposure to ABS, such as subprime automobile receivables, student loans, and franchise whole business deals as opportunities arise. |

Babson Total Return Bond Fund 2016 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 since inception through June 30, 2016 of 4.89%, underperforming the Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index, which returned 5.48%.1 |
What factors influenced performance of the Fund?
| n | | Although the Fund rebounded since the end of February, over the reporting period, an overweight to investment grade corporate credit and an allocation to convertible securities were the primary detractors to performance. Within those allocations, exposures to Oil & Gas producers, as well as commodity miners, were the main negative drivers, with most of the underperformance coming in the first quarter of 2016. |
| n | | An allocation to high yield was the primary contributor to performance as spreads rebounded significantly in the second quarter of 2016. |
| n | | 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 | | Downside derivative mitigation, such as using investment grade CDX index credit default swaps (a swap where the seller compensates the buyer in the event of a default) to partially hedge our longer duration ABS exposures, IGCDX put spread options (purchased put options on credit default swaps), and USD/CNH (long US dollar currency forwards and short the Chinese Renminbi currency forward) position benefitted performance during the period. |
Describe recent portfolio activity.
| n | | Given the uncertainty and regulatory environment following the British referendum to leave the European Union, the Fund recently exited holdings in European banks. Purchases were in emerging market corporates that offer a significant spread pick-up to developed market credit. |
| n | | The agency mortgage-backed securities allocation remains underweight while opportunistically rotating from 30-year conventional pass-throughs to 15-year conventional pass-throughs based on relative value. |
| n | | The Fund selectively added exposure to asset-backed securities in consumer and commercial sectors such as student loans, business franchise whole loans and automobile receivables. |
Describe portfolio positioning at period end.
| n | | Duration and the yield curve for the Fund were neutral relative to the benchmark. |
| n | | The largest overweight relative to the benchmark remains in corporate credit, representing approximately a 48.2% allocation versus 31.0% for the index. High yield corporates made up 8.6% of that exposure. Diversified Industrials and Banking were the largest sectors within corporate credit. The Energy allocation represented about 2.9%.

Babson Total Return Bond Fund 2016 Annual Report
| n | | Within agency mortgage-backed securities, the Fund was underweight (23.7%) relative to the benchmark (27.7%). There has been a rotation from To-Be-Announced (TBA) securities into call-protected MBS pools. |
| n | | During the period, the allocation to ABS was increased and is comprised of traditional automotive loan collateral, FFELP student loans, and compelling collateral such as timeshares, cell towers, and personal consumer loans. |
| n | | Commercial mortgage-backed securities made up 4.9% of the Fund, representing a 3.2% 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 has gained exposure to these vintages using CMBX, a synthetic index. |
Describe market and portfolio outlook.
| n | | Numerous secular and cyclical changes are working their way through the credit markets, creating volatility and opportunities during the period. Global growth continues at a modest pace. |
| n | | After a brief downdraft post-Brexit results, risk assets have recovered nicely as central banks around the world stepped up in surprisingly effective and coordinated ways to calm market fears. Still, there is a growing nervousness globally over reliance on monetary policy to promote growth and support asset prices. |
| n | | With an overall decline in corporate fundamentals, the Fund is focusing on specific single names, often post-merger and acquisition event, where we believe spreads provide attractive opportunities. |
| n | | The Fund remains overweight in spread sectors such as Corporates and Structured Products relative to liquid products such as governments and agencies and seeks to add alpha (the return in excess to the benchmark) by investing in under covered sectors where we have competitive advantages, such as esoteric ABS, CLOs, and emerging market corporates. |

Babson Emerging Markets Debt Blended Total Return Fund 2016 Annual Report
Investment Objective
The investment objective of the Babson Emerging Markets Debt Blended Total Return Fund (“EMD Blended Total Return “ or the “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.
Portfolio Management Commentary
How did the Fund perform?
| n | | The Fund was launched on October 21, 2015 and reported a net total rate of return since inception through June 30, 2016 of 2.79%.1 |
What factors influenced performance of the Fund?
| n | | For the semi-annual reporting period, the Fund’s positioning in South African rates and currency, Mexican rates, government bonds and corporate bonds, the Russian Rouble and Serbian rates were the primary contributors to performance. Corporate holdings in Petrobras, Office Cherifien Des Pho and Vale, also aided returns. Key detractors from performance were the Fund’s local rates positioning in Brazil, the Mexican Peso, and Singaporean Dollar, while the Fund’s holding in Proman Holding also detracted from returns. |
| n | | The emerging markets debt sector performed well during the first half of 2016 as central banks remained accommodative, oil and commodities continued to strengthen and infrastructure spending in China took hold. Dovish sentiment from the Federal Reserve and the European Central Bank, coupled with the Bank of England’s announcement of pending Brexit-induced easing, provided support to the markets. |
| n | | Within the portfolio, South Africa contributed 1.25% as both rates and the South African Rand recovered from President Zuma’s missteps in 2015 and from a recovery in commodities. The Fund’s positioning in Brazilian rates, ahead of what turned out to be a peaceful transition to interim President Temer, was the largest performance detractor (-1.84%). |
Describe recent portfolio activity.
| n | | During the first half of 2016, the Fund added 13.6% to Brazilian credits across corporates, sovereign and local rates and increased Mexican exposure by 6.5% to 23.3% as we added exposure to corporate credits in energy and financials. Additionally, the Fund took a notable position in Argentinean debt (3.7%), as the country made its long awaited return to external markets, following the 2001 default and holdout restructuring under new president Mauricio Macri. |
Describe portfolio positioning at period end.
| n | | The Fund finished the annual reporting period, June 30, 2016, with a 45% exposure to emerging markets corporate bonds, 25% exposure to emerging markets local debt and currencies, 27% exposure to sovereign hard currency bonds and a 3% cash position. |
| n | | The top five countries in the portfolio at the end of the annual reporting period are Mexico (23.3%), Brazil (18.9%), South Africa (6.1%), Colombia (5.6%), and Chile (4.1%). The top five corporate bonds are Petrobras (4.67%), Marfrig Global Foods (4.1%), PEMEX (4.0%), AES Corp (3.67%) and Vale (2.7%). Overall, the Fund has exposure to 20 countries, 22 corporates, and 22 different currencies. |

14
Babson Emerging Markets Debt Blended Total Return Fund 2016 Annual Report
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 | | Credit selection will be key to seeking the best risk-adjusted return opportunities across the emerging markets 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 markets corporate debt. For emerging markets 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 United States. |
| 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 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 Emerging Markets Local Currency Debt Fund 2016 Annual Report
Investment Objective
The investment objective of the Babson Emerging Markets Local Currency Debt Fund (“EM Local Debt Fund” or the “Fund”) is to seek long-term total return through investment in a diversified portfolio of emerging markets local currency-denominated debt securities.
Portfolio Management Commentary
How did the Fund perform?
| n | | The Fund was launched on December 8, 2015 and reported a net total rate of return since inception through June 30, 2016 of 12.74%, outperforming the J.P. Morgan Government Bond Index Emerging Markets (GBI-EM) Global Diversified Index, which returned 12.20%.1 |
What factors influenced performance of the Fund?
| n | | For the semi-annual reporting period, the Fund’s overall long-duration and overweight in currencies positively impacted Fund performance. The Fund’s positions in Colombia, South Africa and Serbia were the primary drivers of positive performance versus the benchmark. The Fund’s underweight duration in Brazil, Polish Zloty versus the Euro and underweight positioning in Turkish rates were detractors from performance relative to the benchmark. |
| n | | For the first six months of 2016, EM Local Debt Fund has materially appreciated on the heels of accommodative global central banks, stronger oil and commodity prices and infrastructure growth in China. Emerging markets currencies gained 5.25% versus the U.S. Dollar on higher oil and commodity prices, while rates gained 7.47% on lower global growth and low inflation. Brazil has turned in the strongest performance for the benchmark as both rates and the Real have rallied on the heels of the Brazilian Senate’s vote in favor of accepting the petition for President Dilma Rousseff’s impeachment and a peaceful transition to Interim President Temer. In late June, Colombia, another top contributor, declared an end to the war with the FARC, the country’s largest rebel group, thereby ending 50 years of war. Mexico was the only country to negatively detract from performance, as its currency lost 6.4% year-to-date. |
Describe recent portfolio activity.
| n | | Over the quarter, the Fund increased its position in the Mexican Peso during periods of weakness, as we believe it is one of the least expensive currencies in the benchmark. The Fund also increased its exposure to Peru following the Presidential election, which we believe is a favorable outcome for the country. |
Describe portfolio positioning at period end.
| n | | The Fund finished the annual reporting period, June 30, 2016, with a 93% exposure to Emerging Market bonds and a 7% cash position. |
| n | | The Top 5 countries in the portfolio at the end of the annual reporting period are Brazil (12.3%), Malaysia (11.1%), Indonesia (10.6%), Colombia (10.6%) and South Africa (7.3%). Overall, the Fund has exposure to 23 different countries and 34 different currencies. |

Babson Global High Yield Fund 2016 Annual Report
Investment Objective
The investment objective of the Babson Global High Yield Fund (“Global High Yield Fund” or the “Fund”) is to seek to provide high current income generation and, where appropriate, capital appreciation.
Portfolio Management Commentary
How did the Fund perform?
| n | | The Fund was launched on October 30, 2015 and reported a net total rate of return since inception through June 30, 2016 of 4.62%, outperforming the Bank of America Merrill Lynch Non-Financial Developed Markets High Yield Constrained Index (the “Index”), which returned 4.30%. As a reminder, following the January 28th, 2016 Board of Trustee’s meeting, the Fund changed the Index from the Bank of America Merrill Lynch Global Non-Financial High Yield Constrained Index to the Bank of America Merrill Lynch Non-Financial Developed Markets High Yield Constrained Index. The previous index returned 4.91% over the same time period. |
What factors influenced performance of the Fund?
| n | | On a year-to-date basis through June 30, 2016, the underperformance relative to the Index can largely be attributed to the Oil and Gas, and Mining, Steel, Iron and Non-Precious Metals sectors. Within these sectors, lower quality credits continued to recover from the heavy losses suffered in 2015 and early 2016 which helped Index performance to appreciate significantly over this time period. With the Fund’s slight underweight towards these sectors as well as its upward credit quality bias, performance lagged, but we remain well positioned as we believe there will be bouts of volatility in the commodity sector through the remainder of the year. |
| n | | Prudent credit selection within the single-B ratings category was a primary positive contributor to performance over the past six months as well as the Fund’s underweight in the double-B segment compared to the Index. The Fund’s credit selection within the triple-C ratings category and overweight to the single-B ratings segment negatively impacted performance relative to the Index. |
| n | | From a region perspective, the Fund’s overweight positioning to the European market and credit selection negatively impacted performance compared to the Index as the European market did not rally as strongly as the U.S. market on the back of the recovery of U.S. focused, commodity related assets. Furthermore, credit selection within the U.S. portfolio of the Fund had a negative impact on performance relative to the Index due to the portfolio’s upward credit quality bias in the commodity sectors as mentioned previously. |
Describe recent portfolio activity.
| n | | The Fund remains underweight in the double-B ratings category relative to the Index, favoring single-B and triple-C rated credits that we believe will continue to outperform. Over the past six months, the Fund’s allocation shifted slightly by deploying cash and increasing exposure to single-B and triple-C credits given the continued rally seen in the lower tier of the market. |

20
Babson Global High Yield Fund 2016 Annual Report
| n | | As previously mentioned, the Fund’s weighting toward the Oil and Gas, and Mining, Steel, Iron and Non-Precious Metals sectors is now a slight underweight, due largely to meaningful upward moves in market values as the sectors recovered from their February troughs. That said, these sectors represent the largest sector composition shift over the past six months and now represent the largest sector exposure when combined. |
| n | | The Fund’s weighting between regions remained very similar since the beginning of the year with no meaningful shifts. The Fund continues to emphasize an overweight to the European market and an underweight to the U.S. market. |
Describe portfolio positioning at period end.
| n | | On a traded basis, the Fund finished the fiscal year-end with a 28.4% weighting to senior secured high yield bonds and a 68.7% weighting to senior unsecured bonds. |
| n | | From an industry perspective, the Fund remains well-diversified across a number of Moody’s-based sectors, with higher concentrations in Oil & Gas (13.4%), Telecommunications (7.3%), and Healthcare, Education and Childcare (6.9%) as of fiscal year-end. |
| n | | In terms of portfolio credit quality as of June 30, 2016, the Fund had the following weighting breakdown: 3.5% in Baa, 31.1% in Ba, 52.9% in single-B, 9.7% in Caa and below and 2.9% in cash and accrued income.2 |
| n | | The Top 5 countries in the portfolio as of the fiscal year-end are currently represented by the U.S. (69.6%), the U.K. (10.4%), France (5.8%), Germany (2.7%) and Portugal (2.0%). Overall, the Fund has exposure to 15 countries and supports our focus on building a well-diversified portfolio of global high yield bonds. |
Describe market and portfolio outlook.
| n | | The global high yield markets held up relatively well following the Brexit referendum. While we expect to see some headline-driven weakness in high yield markets in the near term — particularly in sterling denominated credits — it will take time for the economic implications of the vote to become clear. |
| n | | That said, outside of commodity related sectors, credit fundamentals for high yield borrowers across geographies remain largely intact. Further, we believe the European high yield markets will benefit from the expansion of the European Central Bank’s purchasing program to include corporate credit. |
| n | | Negative pressure in the near-term will most likely stem from broader market sentiment rather than the fundamentals of individual credits. Additionally, the macro-driven volatility tied to Brexit may result in some spread widening, which could present opportunities in quality credits that have been trading at tighter levels following the recent strong performance. |

Portfolio Management Commentary
How did the Fund perform?
| n | | The Fund was launched on October 30, 2015 and reported a net total rate of return since inception through June 30, 2016 of 5.52%, outperforming the Barclays Capital U.S. Corporate High Yield Index (the “Index”), which returned 3.84%.1 |
What factors influenced performance of the Fund?

Describe market and portfolio outlook.
| n | | Although fears of a Brexit related market panic quickly subsided, almost all details remain unknown regarding the terms and process of the United Kingdom’s departure from the European Union, which is expected to take years to complete. Assumptions are that global central banks will remain accommodative in the near term with the likelihood of a rate hike in the U.S. being pushed even further into the future. Ultimately, we do not expect Brexit to have major ramifications for U.S. based issuers, although foreign exchange headwinds will likely persist for companies with European operations. |

Babson Capital Funds Trust 2016 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 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 January 1, 2016 to June 30, 2016.
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) | | Represents an investment grade index of single name credit default swaps (CDS). All of the companies underlying the single name CDS within the index are rated investment grade or higher. Rating represents a weighted average of the credit ratings of all the companies underlying the single name CDS within the index. |
(3) | | The maximum potential amount the Fund 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. |
(4) | | 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 2016 Annual Report
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
June 30, 2016
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 June 30, 2016, the Trust 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 (the “Adviser”), a wholly-owned indirect subsidiary of Massachusetts Mutual Life Insurance Company, is a registered investment adviser under the 1940 Act and serves as investment adviser to the Funds.
Babson Capital Global Advisors Limited (“BCGA”), 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, Total Return Bond Fund, Emerging Markets Debt Blended Total Return Fund and Global High Yield Fund European investments.
Cornerstone Real Estate Advisers LLC (“Cornerstone”), a direct wholly-owned subsidiary of the Adviser, serves as a sub-adviser with respect 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 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 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 investment objective of the Total Return Bond Fund is to seek a superior total rate of return by investing in fixed income instruments. The 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 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 investment objective of the Global High Yield Fund is to seek to provide high current income generation and, where appropriate, capital appreciation. The 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 invests 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. Such instruments are primarily, 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 circumstances, the Global Credit Income Opportunities Fund invests 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. markets, as well as over-the-counter and

June 30, 2016
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 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
151
Babson Capital Funds Trust 2016 Annual Report
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
June 30, 2016
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. Derivative financial instruments, such as futures contracts or options contracts that are traded on a national securities exchange, are stated at the last reported sale or settlement price on the day of valuation. Futures traded on inactive markets are valued using broker quotations. OTC derivative financial instruments, such as foreign currency contracts, options contracts, or swaps agreements, derive their value from underlying asset prices, indices, reference rates, and other inputs or a combination of these factors. These contracts are normally valued on the basis of an independent pricing service providers or broker dealer quotations. Depending on the derivative type and the terms of the derivative, the value of the derivative financial instruments is assigned by independent pricing service providers using a series of techniques, which may include pricing models. The pricing models use inputs that are observed from actively quoted markets such as issuer details, indices, spreads, interest rates, curves, volatilities, dividends and exchange rates.
The assets and liabilities shown in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities related to investments purchased for “to-be-announced” (“TBA”) or when-issued securities approximate fair value and are determined using Level 2 inputs, as of June 30, 2016. The assets and liabilities shown in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities related to cash collateral held at broker for futures contracts are determined using Level 1 inputs as of June 30, 2016.
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 Fund; and (2) the fair value of investments held by the Fund 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 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 June 30, 2016 in valuing the Funds’ investments:

| B. | When-Issued, Delayed-Delivery, Forward Commitment, and To-Be-Announced Transactions |
The Funds may enter into when-issued, delayed-delivery, forward commitment, or to-be-announced (“TBA”) transactions (collectively, the “Forward Transactions”) in order to lock in the purchase price of the underlying security, or in order to adjust the interest rate exposure of the Fund’s existing portfolio. In Forward Transactions, a Fund commits to purchase or sell particular securities, with payment and delivery to take place at a future date. In the case of TBA purchase commitments, the unit price and the estimated principal amount are established when the Fund enters into a commitment, with the actual principal amount being within a specified range of the estimate. Although a Fund does not typically pay for the securities in these types of transactions until they are
delivered, it immediately assumes the risks of ownership, including the risk of price fluctuation. As a result, each of these types of transactions may create investment leverage in a Fund’s portfolio and increase the volatility of the Fund. If a Fund’s counterparty fails to deliver a security purchased in a Forward Transaction, there may be a loss, and the Fund may have missed an opportunity to make an alternative investment.
These securities are valued on the basis of valuations furnished by a pricing service, selected pursuant to procedures approved by the Trustees, which determines valuations taking into account appropriate factors such as institutional-size trading in similar groups of securities, yield, quality, coupon rate, maturity, type of issue, trading characteristics, and other market data. Securities for which no market quotation is available are valued at fair
159
Babson Capital Funds Trust 2016 Annual Report
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
June 30, 2016
value in accordance with procedures approved by the Trustees. The Funds record on a daily basis the unrealized appreciation (depreciation) based upon changes in the values of these securities. When a Forward Transaction is closed, the Funds record a realized gain or loss equal to the difference between the value of the transaction at the time it was opened and the value of the transaction at the time it was closed.
| 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 June 30, 2016, all cash and cash equivalents are held by the custodian.
| 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 June 30, 2016, 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
160
Babson Capital Funds Trust 2016 Annual Report
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
June 30, 2016
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 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 June 30, 2016, 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.
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
161

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
June 30, 2016
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 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 (or central clearing party in the case of centrally cleared swaps) 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 (or central clearing party in the case of centrally cleared swaps) a periodic stream of payments over the term of the contract.
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 (or central clearing party in the case of centrally cleared swaps) 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 (or central clearing party in the case of centrally cleared swaps) 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 and a CDX index, which is comprised of North American and Emerging Market companies.
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. For centrally cleared swaps, the daily change in valuation is recorded as a receivable or payable for variation margin and settled in cash with the central clearing party daily.
Entering into swap agreements involves counterparty 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, in the case of credit default swaps, that the Adviser does not correctly predict the creditworthiness of the issuers of the reference obligation on which the credit default swap is based. In the case of centrally cleared swaps, counterparty risk is minimal due to protections provided by the central clearing party.
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. When a Fund enters into an interest rate swap, it typically agrees to make payments to its counterparty based on a specified long- or short-term interest rate, and will receive payments from its counterparty based on another interest rate. Other forms of interest rate swap agreements include interest rate caps, under which, in return for a specified payment
163

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
June 30, 2016
stream, one party agrees to make payments to the other to the extent that interest rates exceed a specified rate, or “cap”; interest rate floors, under which, in return for a specified payment stream, one party agrees to make payments to the other to the extent that interest rates fall below a specified rate, or “floor”; and interest rate collars, under which a party sells a cap and purchases a floor or vice versa in an attempt to protect itself against interest rate movements exceeding given minimum or maximum levels. A Fund may enter into an interest rate swap in order, for example, to hedge against the effect of interest rate changes on the value of specific securities in its portfolio, or to adjust the interest rate sensitivity (duration) or the credit exposure of its portfolio overall, or otherwise as a substitute for a direct investment in debt securities.
During the period ended June 30, 2016, 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.

| 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. In order to better define its contractual rights and to secure rights that will help the Fund mitigate its counterparty risk, the Fund may enter into an International Swaps and Derivatives Association, Inc. Master Agreement (“ISDA Master Agreement”) or similar agreement with its counterparties. An ISDA Master Agreement is a bilateral agreement between the Fund and a counterparty that governs certain OTC derivatives and typically contains, among other things, collateral posting terms and netting provisions in the event of a default and/or termination event. Under an ISDA Master Agreement, the Fund may, under certain circumstances, offset with the counterparty certain derivative financial instruments’ payables and/or receivables with collateral held and/or posted and create one single net payment. The provisions of the ISDA Master Agreement typically permit a single net payment in the event of default including the bankruptcy or insolvency of the counterparty. Bankruptcy or insolvency laws of a particular jurisdiction may restrict or prohibit the right of offset in bankruptcy, insolvency or other events. In addition, certain ISDA Master Agreements allow counterparties to terminate derivative contracts prior to maturity in the event the Fund’s net assets decline by a stated percentage or the Fund fails to meet the terms of its ISDA Master Agreements. The result would cause the Fund to accelerate payment of any net liability owed to the counterparty.
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:

Babson Capital Funds Trust 2016 Annual Report
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
June 30, 2016
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.
| M. | Foreign Currency Translation |
The books and records of the Funds are maintained in U.S. dollars. 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:
| | |
Global Floating Rate Fund | | 0.65% of average daily net assets |
Global Credit Income Opportunities Fund | | 0.75% of average daily net assets |
| | |
Active Short Duration Bond Fund | | 0.35%* of average daily net assets |
Total Return Bond Fund | | 0.40%* of average daily net assets |
Emerging Markets Debt Blended Total Return Fund | | 0.75%* of average daily net assets |
Emerging Markets Local Currency Debt Fund | | 0.75%* of average daily net assets |
Global High Yield Fund | | 0.60%* of average daily net assets |
U.S. High Yield Fund | | 0.55%* of average daily net assets |
The Adviser has contractually agreed to waive and/or reimburse a portion of its fees and/or reimburse expenses (excluding 12b-1 fees, interest expenses, taxes, fees incurred in acquiring and disposing of securities and extraordinary expenses) such that total net annual operating expenses for each class do not exceed the following rates:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | CLASS A | | | CLASS C | | | CLASS I | | | CLASS Y | |

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 BCGA and Cornerstone. The Adviser (not the Funds) will pay a portion of the fees it receives to BCGA and Cornerstone in return for their services.
The investment adviser or its affiliates voluntarily agreed to waive certain fees for the Emerging Markets Debt Blended Total Return Fund, the Emerging Markets Local Currency Debt Fund, the Global High Yield Fund and the U.S. High Yield Fund in order to maintain a minimum net investment income of not less than $0. Such arrangements may be discontinued by the investment adviser at any time. For the year ended June 30, 2016 the amount of the waivers were $1,933, $3,267, $1,630 and $1,528, respectively.
4. | 12b-1 Distribution and Service Plan |
ALPS Distributors, Inc. (the “Distributor”) is the Distributor of the Funds’ shares as of June 30, 2016.
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% (0.50% for Active Short Duration Bond Fund) 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 year ended June 30, 2016, 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 June 30, 2016, there were no loans outstanding pursuant to the Credit Agreement.
Management has considered the circumstances under which the Funds should recognize or make disclosures regarding events or transactions occurring subsequent to June 30, 2016 through the date the financial statements were issued. Adjustments or additional disclosures, if any, have been included in these financial statements.
Effective July 18, 2016, Duncan Robertson was elected by the Board of Trustees as President.

Babson Capital Funds Trust 2016 Annual Report
REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Board of Trustees of Babson Capital Funds Trust and Shareholders of Babson Global Floating Rate Fund, Babson Global Credit Income Opportunities, Babson Active Short Duration Bond Fund, Babson Total Return Bond Fund, Babson Emerging Market Debt Blended Total Return Fund, Babson Emerging Market Local Currency Debt Fund, Babson Global High Yield Fund, and Babson U.S. High Yield Fund (collectively, the “Funds”):
We have audited the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities, including the schedules of investments, of Babson Capital Funds Trust (the “Funds”) comprising of Babson Global Floating Rate Fund, Babson Global Credit Income Opportunities Fund, Babson Emerging Market Local Currency Debt Fund, Babson Emerging Market Debt Blended Total Return Fund, Babson Total Return Fund, Babson Global High Yield Fund, Babson Active Short Duration Bond Fund and Babson U.S. High Yield Fund as of June 30, 2016, and the related statements of operations for the period then ended, and the statements of changes in net assets and the financial highlights for each of the periods presented. These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Funds’ management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and financial highlights based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and financial highlights are free of material misstatement. The Funds are not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of their internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Funds’ internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of June 30, 2016, by correspondence with the custodian, brokers, and agent banks; where replies were not received from brokers and agent banks, we performed other auditing procedures. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of each of the Funds constituting Babson Capital Funds Trust as of June 30, 2016, the results of their operations for the period then ended, and the changes in their net assets and the financial highlights for each of the periods presented, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

![LOGO](https://capedge.com/proxy/N-CSR/0001193125-16-705095/g194440g00c02.jpg)
The Registrant adopted a Code of Ethics for Principal Executive and Senior Financial Officers (the “Code”) on July 29, 2013, which is available on the Registrant’s website at www.babsoncapital.com/funds/mutual-funds. During the period covered by this Form N-CSR, there were no amendments to, or waivers from, the Code.
Item 3. | Audit Committee Financial Expert. |
The Registrant’s Board of Trustees has determined that Dr. Bernard A. Harris, Jr., Mr. Thomas W. Okel and Mr. Martin A. Sumichrast, constituting all the members of the Registrant’s Audit Committee, are audit committee financial experts. Dr. Harris, Mr. Okel and Mr. Sumichrast are “independent” for purposes of this Item 3 as required by applicable regulation.
Item 4. | Principal Accountant Fees and Services. |
The Registrant has engaged its principal accountant, Deloitte & Touche LLP (“Deloitte”), to perform audit services, audit-related services, tax services and other services. The following tables detail the aggregate fees billed or expected to be billed for each of the last two fiscal years by Deloitte.
Fees Billed to the Registrant:
| | | | | | | | |
| | Year Ended June 30, 2016 | | | Year Ended June 30, 2015 | |
Audit Fees | | $ | 241,960 | | | $ | 130,850 | |
Audit-Related Fees | | $ | 0 | | | $ | 0 | |
Tax Fees | | $ | 90,000 | | | $ | 54,000 | |
All Other Fees | | $ | 0 | | | $ | 0 | |
| | | | | | | | |
Total Fees | | $ | 331,960 | | | $ | 184,850 | |
Non-Audit Fees Billed to Babson Capital and MassMutual:
| | | | | | | | |
| | Year Ended June 30, 2016 | | | Year Ended June 30, 2015 | |
Audit Fees | | $ | 3,511,806 | | | $ | 3,396,868 | |
Audit-Related Fees | | $ | 0 | | | $ | 0 | |
Tax Fees | | $ | 2,156,622 | | | $ | 1,687,113 | |

| | | | | | | | |
Total Fees | | $ | 6,632,088 | | | $ | 7,115,800 | |
The category “Audit Fees” refers to performing an audit of the Registrant’s, Babson Capital Management LLC’s (“Babson Capital”) or Massachusetts Mutual Life Insurance Company’s (“MassMutual”) annual financial statements or services that are normally provided by the principal accountant in connection with statutory and regulatory filings or engagements. The category “Audit-Related Fees” reflects fees billed by Deloitte for various non-audit and non-tax services rendered to the Registrant, Babson Capital, and MassMutual. Preparation of Federal, state and local income tax and tax compliance work are representative of the fees reported in the “Tax Fees” category. The category “All Other Fees” represents fees billed by Deloitte for consulting rendered to the Registrant, Babson Capital, and MassMutual.
The Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 and its implementing regulations allow the Registrant’s Audit Committee to establish a pre-approval policy for certain services rendered by the Registrant’s principal accountant, Deloitte. During the fiscal year ended June 30, 2016, the Registrant’s Audit Committee approved all of the services rendered to the Registrant by Deloitte and did not rely on such a pre-approval policy for any such services.
The Audit Committee has also reviewed the aggregate fees billed for professional services rendered by Deloitte for the years ended June 30, 2015 and June 30, 2016 for the Registrant and for the non-audit services provided to Babson Capital, and Babson Capital’s parent, MassMutual. As part of this review, the Audit Committee considered whether the provision of such non-audit services was compatible with maintaining the principal accountant’s independence.
