MML Series Investment Fund – Letter to Shareholders
To Our Shareholders
David O'Leary
The new year provides investors with an excellent opportunity to take their financial pulse by checking in with their financial representative. For 2006, there are mixed signals on the investment horizon. MassMutual, however, stands by its conviction that most investors are best served by attention to proper asset allocation and an investment strategy that concentrates on the long term.
2005: A stormy year in many respects
Weather-related stories dominated the headlines for the 12 months ended December 31, 2005 – beginning with the fallout from the late 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami. Elsewhere, October's devastating Pakistan earthquake and Hurricanes Katrina, Rita and Wilma heightened investors' awareness of the power of nature and the impact of current events on the markets.
On the economic front, the first three months of 2005 saw the broader U.S. stock averages struggle unsuccessfully against the headwinds of widespread expectations for slower economic growth, reduced corporate profits and rising inflation – especially in the form of rising crude oil prices. Foreign stocks substantially outperformed U.S. stocks in this environment, but bond prices struggled.
In the second quarter, U.S. stocks struggled to find direction, as moderately positive news on the economy and corporate earnings was tempered by high crude oil prices, rising short-term interest rates and concerns about slowing economic growth. A strong U.S. dollar hampered foreign stocks. In the bond market, Treasuries outperformed other fixed-income asset classes.
Broad-based U.S. stock indexes advanced in the third quarter, as favorable second quarter earnings boosted the market in July. In the bond market, longer-maturity yields rose in July on better-than-expected economic performance, then backed off as soaring crude oil prices once again raised fears of a slowing economy. The Lehman Brothers® Aggregate Bond Index, a broad measure of the U.S. investment-grade fixed-income markets, closed the quarter with a return of -0.67%.*
Stocks made upward progress in the fourth quarter, boosting many broad-based stock indexes into positive territory for full-year 2005. The U.S. economy grew at a pace of 4.1% in the third quarter, lower than initial estimates, but still pleasantly surprising many observers. For the full year, the Dow Jones Industrial AverageSM (The Dow), a barometer of blue-chip stock activity, returned -0.61%, after losing ground in the final week of December. The technology-focused Nasdaq Composite® Index gained 1.37% for the 12-month period, trailing the S&P 500® Index, a measure of U.S. large-cap stock performance, which returned 4.91% in the same period. The clear winner for the year, however, was the MSCI® EAFE® Index, a benchmark for foreign stocks that delivered an impressive 13.54% return.*
In the bond market during the fourth quarter, the yield curve continued to flatten – indicating a smaller difference in yields between shorter- and longer-term fixed income investments. This flattening of yields is due in large part to persistent upward pressure on short-term yields by the Federal Reserve's (Fed's) credit-tightening and the relatively flat movement of longer-term yields. For the full year, the Lehman Brothers Aggregate Bond Index advanced 2.43%.*
The Major Stories of 2005
Among the events affecting the financial markets during 2005, the sharp rise in energy prices qualifies as one of the most important. Crude oil prices, which began the year near the $40-per-barrel level, ended December around $60 a barrel, following a brief surge above $70 at the end of August. In pure percentage terms, the advance in natural gas was even greater. Many Americans felt the energy squeeze most acutely in the rising cost of unleaded gasoline – whose average per-gallon price

increased during the year from around $1.75 to $2.20. Fears that higher energy costs might hamper consumer spending turned out to be unfounded, however. From the Friday after Thanksgiving through December 24, U.S. consumers spent 8.7% more in 2005 than in the previous year.
Rising short-term interest rates were another important trend in 2005. The Fed boosted the federal funds rate in 0.25% increments a total of eight times during the year – for a total of 2.0%. Rising interest rates mean higher costs for various types of consumer and business loans. One area of particular concern is home mortgages, along with home equity loans and lines of credit, which have helped finance a significant portion of consumer spending during the past few years. Many experts are concerned about what will happen to consumer spending if housing prices decelerate significantly. Two news items pointed to concerns about real estate's immediate prospects near the end of December. The Mortgage Bankers Association reported that U.S. mortgage applications fell to more than a three-and-a-half-year low, and the National Association of Realtors reported that inventories of existing homes for sale rose to their highest level in more than 19 years.
Outlook
The beginning of the new year is an ideal time to assess your long-term financial strategy. An annual check-up with your financial representative can help ensure that you have positioned yourself to reach your long-term financial goals.
As we proceed into 2006, key economic indicators are mixed. The positive factors include an economy that continues to grow faster than expected, rebounding consumer confidence, muted inflation and interest rates that are still low by historical standards. Currently, strong corporate balance sheets, forecasts for double-digit earnings growth in 2006 and moderate valuations are also positives. Cautionary factors include the possibility that consumer spending will weaken as home refinancing opportunities dry up, and a market that has slowed its advance somewhat in the third year of this bull market. That said, we believe that most investors are best served by attention to proper asset allocation and an investment strategy that focuses less on the market's short-term movements and more on the long term potential. (As always, past performance is no guarantee of future results.)

MML Large Cap Value Fund – Portfolio Manager Report
What is the investment objective of the MML Large Cap Value Fund? This Fund seeks both capital growth and income by selecting high-quality, large-capitalization companies primarily in the S&P 500® Index.
How did the Fund perform during the 12 months ended December 31, 2005? The Fund's shares returned 9.38%, outpacing the 4.91% return of the S&P 500 Index, a widely recognized, unmanaged index representative of common stocks of larger capitalized U.S. companies.
What was the investment backdrop during the period? The first quarter saw the broader U.S. stock averages struggle unsuccessfully to remain above the break-even mark in the midst of widespread expectations for slower growth by the nation's economy and a reduction in corporate profits. On the fixed-income front, bond yields fell and prices rose in January, but fears of rising inflation later in the quarter reversed much of the advance. Additionally, there were two 0.25% hikes in short-term interest rates by the Federal Reserve (Fed) during the first three months of 2005. Turning to the second quarter, U.S. stocks traded indecisively, as moderately positive news on the economy and corporate earnings was tempered by high crude oil prices, rising short-term interest rates and concerns about slowing economic growth.
Broad-based U.S. stock indexes advanced in the third quarter, as favorable second quarter earnings boosted the market in July. In the bond space, longer-maturity yields rose in July on better-than-expected economic performance, then backed off as rising crude oil prices once again raised fears of a slowing economy. Stocks made upward progress in the fourth quarter, propelling many broad-based stock indexes into positive territory for full-year 2005. In the bond market, the yield curve – a measure of the disparity of yields of bonds of comparable credit quality across a range of maturities from three months to 30 years and used as an economic indicator – continued to flatten, due to the Fed's persistent upward pressure on short-term yields and the relatively flat movement of longer yields.
What factors contributed to the Fund's performance – and how did you respond? Energy companies were the most important contributors to the Fund's performance over the year. Energy was also the strongest-performing sector of the S&P 500 Index. The Fund benefited both by its overweight position in energy – and from positive stock selection within the sector. All of the Fund's energy companies performed well, with EOG Resources, Devon Energy, ConocoPhillips and Occidental Petroleum among the top performers.
The Fund's largest industry holdings were in diversified financial companies, insurance companies and consumer staples firms. All three sectors were important contributors to performance for the 12-month period. Moody's (a diversified financial company), Progressive, Loews, and American International Group (three insurance companies), and Altria (a consumer staples company) were among the Fund's top contributors to results. On the other hand, Avon Products – a consumer staples company initially purchased in June 2005 – ranked among the top detractors from performance.
The Fund's holdings in both consumer discretionary and industrial companies hampered its progress for the year. Consumer discretionary companies among the top detractors included Comcast, Gannett, and Autozone (sold in October 2005). Industrial companies hindering performance included Tyco and United Parcel Services. Lexmark, an information technology company, and Fifth Third Bancorp, a bank, were also among the top detractors.
The Fund had approximately 8% of its portfolio invested in foreign companies on December 31, 2005. Collectively, the foreign companies owned by the Fund underperformed the S&P 500 Index over the year.

MML Large Cap Value Fund – Portfolio Manager Report (Continued)
What is your outlook? We enter 2006 with both positive and negative factors on the horizon. The positives include an economy that continues to grow more than expected, rebounding consumer confidence, muted inflation and interest rates that are still low by historical standards. Currently strong corporate balance sheets, forecasts for double-digit earnings growth in 2006 and moderate valuations also provide evidence of an optimistic outlook for the year. Conversely, cautionary factors include the possibility that consumer spending will weaken as home refinancing opportunities dry up, a historically challenging phase of the four-year presidential cycle and a market that has slowed its advance somewhat. In an environment with such conflicting signals, investors may be well served by focusing on proper asset allocation and an investment strategy tha t concentrates on long-term results.

MML Equity Index Fund – Portfolio Manager Report
What is the investment objective of the MML Equity Index Fund? The Fund seeks to provide investment results that correspond to the price and yield performance of publicly traded common stocks in the aggregate as represented by the S&P 500® Index. The Fund pursues this objective by investing at least 80% of its assets in the equity securities of companies that make up the S&P 500 Index.
How did the Fund perform during the 12 months ended December 31, 2005? The Fund's Class I shares returned 4.53%, moderately trailing the 4.91% return of the S&P 500 Index, a widely recognized, unmanaged index representative of common stocks of larger capitalized U.S. companies.
What was the investment backdrop during the period? The first quarter saw the broader U.S. stock averages struggle unsuccessfully to remain above the break-even mark in the midst of widespread expectations for slower growth by the nation's economy and a reduction in corporate profits. On the fixed-income front, bond yields fell and prices rose in January, but fears of rising inflation later in the quarter reversed much of the advance. Additionally, there were two 0.25% hikes in short-term interest rates by the Federal Reserve (Fed) during the first three months of 2005. Turning to the second quarter, U.S. stocks traded indecisively, as moderately positive news on the economy and corporate earnings was tempered by high crude oil prices and rising short-term interest rates. In the bond market, Treasuries outperformed other fixed-income asset class es, while investment-grade bonds outpaced high-yield securities in the corporate sector.
The third quarter was dominated by a strong rally in oil prices, compounded by the impact of Hurricanes Katrina and Rita. The Fed raised the federal funds rate twice during the quarter, its main concern being the increasing risk of inflation due to escalating energy costs. The economic environment continued nearly unchanged in the fourth quarter, as oil prices and interest rates continued to dominate the headlines – and the Fed raised interest rates twice more, bringing the total to eight 0.25% increases in 2005. After reaching $70 per barrel at the end of August, light crude oil prices retreated during the fourth quarter and finished the year at $61 per barrel.
What factors contributed to the Fund's performance? In the first quarter, growth stocks outpaced value issues, and small- and mid-cap securities ended the period in negative territory. On a sector basis, the energy and utilities sectors posted the best performance – but not enough to bring the S&P 500 Index (the Index) into positive territory. The financial sector of the Index lost 6.38% and information technology dropped 7.33%. The worst-performing sector for the period, telecommunications services, returned –7.78%. Against the backdrop of high oil prices and two interest hikes by the Fed, the majority of U.S. equity indexes posted negative returns for the period.
In the second quarter, value stocks outpaced their growth counterparts, and small- and mid-cap securities posted positive returns. From a sector perspective, utilities and financials sectors posted the best performance, up 9.31% and 4.33%, respectively. The health care sector was also positive for the period, posting a return of 4.13%. The increase in the energy sector continued, as that sector advanced 1.99%. The worst-performing group for the second quarter was materials, which fell 9.47%.
Large-capitalization stocks in the third quarter underperformed both mid- and small-cap stocks. During the quarter, energy was the best-performing sector in the Index, returning 18.25%, and telecommunication services, with its loss of 1.05%, was the worst performer. In the final quarter of 2005, large-cap stocks once again underperformed mid-caps. This time, however, large issues outpaced their small-capitalization competition. Energy was the worst-performing sector in the Index, returning -7.36%; materials was the best-performing group, advancing 11.19%.

MML Growth Equity Fund – Portfolio Manager Report
What is the investment objective of the MML Growth Equity Fund? This Fund seeks long-term growth of capital and future income by normally investing at least 80% of its assets in the common stocks and securities convertible into common stocks of companies the Fund's sub-adviser believes offer prospects for long-term growth.
How did the Fund perform during the 12 months ended December 31, 2005? The Fund's shares returned 3.86%, lagging the 4.91% return of the S&P 500® Index, a widely recognized, unmanaged index representative of common stocks of larger capitalized U.S. companies.
What was the investment background during the period? The first quarter of 2005 saw the majority of U.S. equity markets in the red, spurred in large part by mixed economic data, rising oil prices and concerns over inflation. Both large- and small-cap stocks produced negative returns for the period, although the large-cap universe slightly outpaced its small-cap counterpart. Most U.S. equity markets ended the second quarter in positive territory. Both large- and small-cap stocks rose, although the small-cap universe, in a reversal from the first quarter, slightly outpaced its large-cap competition. Also during the second quarter, the Federal Reserve (Fed) raised the federal funds rate twice – each time by 0.25%.
Despite the summer's hurricanes of devastating proportions, another federal interest rate increase, and an impending oil crisis, the third quarter of 2005 saw gains in domestic equity markets. Both large- and small-cap stocks produced positive returns for the period, although the small-cap universe slightly outpaced its large cap counterpart. The final quarter of 2005 witnessed a market that managed to stay afloat in spite of additional federal funds rate increases, rising health care and energy costs, and mixed reports pertaining to economic growth within the U.S. During the final three months of the year, both large- and small-cap stocks once again advanced, although large-cap issues slightly outpaced their small-cap brethren.
What factors contributed to the Fund's performance? During the first quarter, sector selection was positive, aided considerably by an overweight position in oil and gas. An underweight position in the financial sector also contributed to the portfolio's relative performance. Conversely, underweight positions in both health care and food/beverages detracted from relative returns. In the second quarter, sector selection was flat relative to the S&P 500 Index. The portfolio benefited from an underweight position in manufacturing and an overweight position in oil and gas. This positive performance, however, was offset by overweight positions in the primary process industry and automotive spaces, which underperformed as groups.
Turning to the third quarter, an overweight position in oil and gas and an underweight position in manufacturing provided tailwinds to the Fund. Other contributors included underweight positions in the services and transportation sectors. Detractors included an overweight position in retail stores and underweights to technology and metals and mining. Stock selection was negative overall for the quarter, particularly in the technology space. Stock picks among oil and gas, health care, and financial issues also detracted from performance for the period. Conversely, stock selection among consumer goods securities benefited the portfolio.
Finally, favorable stock selection in the fourth quarter within the health care, services, and consumer goods sectors fueled performance. Sector selection, however, detracted during the period, due in large part to the portfolio's overweight position in oil and gas and an underweight to transportation. An overweight position in retail stores contributed to relative returns, but not enough to offset the less-than-favorable sector results.
What is your outlook? Although the strong performance of the U.S. equity market for the past three years has been a positive for investors, it continues to be expensive, leaving little room for new opportunities. The market's inclination for risk over return appears unwarranted, but the eventual return to fundamental valuations should favor the portfolio's bias towards lower-risk investments.

MML OTC 100 Fund – Portfolio Manager Report
What is the investment objective of the MML OTC 100 Fund? This Fund seeks to approximate, as closely as practicable (before fees and expenses), the total return of the 100 largest publicly traded over-the-counter common stocks. The Fund pursues this objective by investing at least 80% of its assets in the equity securities of companies included in the NASDAQ 100 Index®, which is generally recognized as representative of the over-the-counter market.
How did the Fund perform during the 12 months ended December 31, 2005? The Fund's shares returned 1.26%, underperforming the 1.49% return of the NASDAQ 100 Index.
The NASDAQ 100 Index represents 100 of the largest non-financial U.S. and non-U.S. companies listed on the National Tier of the NASDAQ stock market. It is a modified capitalization-weighted index that is designed to limit domination by a few large stocks while generally retaining the ranking of companies by capitalization.
What was the investment backdrop during the period? The first quarter saw the broader U.S. stock averages struggle unsuccessfully to remain above the break-even mark in the midst of widespread expectations for slower growth by the nation's economy and a reduction in corporate profits. On the fixed-income front, bond yields fell and prices rose in January, but fears of rising inflation later in the quarter reversed much of the advance. Additionally, there were two 0.25% hikes in short-term interest rates by the Federal Reserve (Fed) during the first three months of 2005. Turning to the second quarter, U.S. stocks traded indecisively, as moderately positive news on the economy and corporate earnings was tempered by high crude oil prices, rising short-term interest rates and concerns about slowing economic growth.
Broad-based U.S. stock indexes advanced in the third quarter, as favorable second quarter earnings boosted the market in July. In the bond space, longer-maturity yields rose in July on better-than-expected economic performance, then backed off as rising crude oil prices once again raised fears of a slowing economy. Stocks made upward progress in the fourth quarter, propelling many broad-based stock indexes into positive territory for full-year 2005. In the bond market, the yield curve – a measure of the disparity of yields of bonds of comparable credit quality across a range of maturities from three months to 30 years and used as an economic indicator – continued to flatten, due to the Fed's persistent upward pressure on short-term yields and the relatively flat movement of longer yields.
What factors contributed to the Fund's performance? During the first quarter, all of the NASDAQ 100 Index's sectors posted negative returns. The information technology sector returned –6.60% for the period; consumer discretionary dropped 14.75%. Against the backdrop of high oil prices and two interest hikes by the Fed, the vast majority of U.S. equity indexes posted negative returns during the period. In the second quarter, the telecommunications services sector advanced with a gain of 11.42%. The information technology sector recovered somewhat from the first quarter, with its loss of only 0.09% at the mid-year point. Consumer discretionary also did better in the second quarter, with a return of –0.14%.
The NASDAQ 100 Index (the Index) finished the third quarter with a strong 7.33% advance. The greatest strength during the period came from the health care sector, which gained 16.62%. For the first time in 2005, the information technology sector, which accounts for over half of the Index, was in positive territory, with its 7.86% return. Similarly, consumer discretionary advanced for the first time during the year, with a 0.95% gain. During the final quarter of 2005, the Index advanced 2.84% – finishing the year with a 1.89% gain. A strong performance was seen in the consumer staples sector, which returned 15.19% for the fourth quarter. The large information technology sector advanced 2.21% for the period. Consumer discretionary, the second-largest sector in the Index, was also up for the quarter, with its 0.52% gain.

MML OTC 100 Fund – Portfolio Manager Report (Continued)
What is your outlook? As we proceed into 2006, positive factors on the horizon include an economy that continues to grow more than expected, rebounding consumer confidence, muted inflation and interest rates that are still low by historical standards. Currently strong corporate balance sheets, forecasts for double-digit earnings growth in 2006 and moderate valuations also provide evidence of a positive outlook for the year. Conversely, cautionary factors include the possibility that consumer spending will weaken as home refinancing opportunities dry up, a historically challenging phase of the four-year presidential cycle and a market that has slowed its advance somewhat. In such an environment, investors are well served by focusing on proper asset allocation and an investment strategy that concentrates on the long term.

MML Small Cap Growth Equity Fund – Portfolio Manager Report
What is the investment objective of the MML Small Cap Growth Equity Fund? This Fund seeks long-term capital appreciation by investing primarily in common stocks and equity securities of smaller companies the managers believe offer potential for long-term growth.
How did the Fund perform during the 12 months ended December 31, 2005? The Fund's shares returned 11.58%, outperforming the 4.55% return of the Russell 2000® Index, a widely recognized, unmanaged index representative of common stocks of smaller capitalized U.S. companies.
What was the investment background during the period? After registering positive returns in 2004, equity markets generally retreated in the first quarter of 2005 on concerns of rising interest rates, high oil prices and slowing earnings growth. In the second quarter, the market remained surprisingly resilient in the face of continued short-term interest rate increases, high energy prices and a slowing economy.
Entering the second half of the year, the U.S. small-cap equity market remained strong. Despite rising interest rates, two major hurricanes and high energy prices investors embraced solid corporate earnings and continued economic growth in the third quarter. In the final three months of the year, domestic equity markets showed signs of strength, as market participants were encouraged by retreating energy prices, waning inflationary pressures, and signs that the Federal Reserve (Fed) was nearing an end to its rate hikes.
What factors contributed to the Fund's performance – and how have you positioned the Fund as a result? In the first quarter, the technology sector of the Russell 2000 Index (the Index) closed down almost 12%. Conversely, the energy sector was the top performer with its 14.6% gain, as oil-related stocks maintained their advantage on the tailwind of rising oil prices. We were underweight in these two volatile and cyclical groups, due to our ongoing focus on those sectors that, in our belief, yield stable profitability. During the first quarter, the Fund's favorable stock selection in the health care sector fueled performance, while our picks in the consumer discretionary sector detracted from results. In the second quarter, positive contributions came from the financials sector. Conversely, unfavorable stock selection in the consumer discreti onary and information technology sectors hampered the Fund's returns.
In the third quarter, the portfolio was helped in part by strong stock selection in financials and energy – and favorable picks within the information technology sector. These results were offset by unfavorable stock selection in the materials and information technology sectors – along with less-than-favorable choices in both the consumer discretionary and industrials sectors. At the end of the period, the portfolio was overweight in the health care sector and underweight in financials.
As 2005 came to a close, the Fund's overweight position in the consumer discretionary sector, and stronger-than-Index stock selection within that sector, contributed to performance. Solid stock picks in the financials, information technology, and industrials sectors also provided some lift in the fourth quarter. These results contrasted with weakness in several holdings within the consumer staples and health care sectors – and by unfavorable stock selection in the utilities sector. The Fund closed out the year in a similar fashion as the third quarter, with an overweight position in the health care sector and an underweight position in the financials space.
What is your outlook? Although we expect the Fed to remain vigilant with respect to interest rates in the first half of 2006, we are optimistic about the economy's prospects for the year. We expect most sectors of the economy could progress without hesitation. In addition, although consumer spending remains fragile in the face of a slowing housing market, we still see strength in industrial demand and general business investment. We do, however, remain concerned that elevated interest rates and energy prices could still provide a tipping point for small cap's three-year-old recovery. For that reason, the attributes of quality continue to be our primary focus.

MML Emerging Growth Fund – Portfolio Manager Report
What is the investment objective of the MML Emerging Growth Fund? This Fund seeks capital appreciation by investing primarily in smaller, rapidly growing emerging companies – generally in industry segments experiencing rapid growth, and often including technology and technology-related concerns.
How did the Fund perform during the 12 months ended December 31, 2005? The Fund's shares returned 0.84%, trailing the 4.55% return of the Russell 2000® Index, a widely recognized, unmanaged index representative of common stocks of smaller capitalized U.S. companies.
What was the investment backdrop during the period? The first quarter saw the broader U.S. stock averages struggle unsuccessfully to remain above the break-even mark in the midst of widespread expectations for slower growth by the nation's economy and a reduction in corporate profits. On the fixed-income front, bond yields fell and prices rose in January, but fears of rising inflation later in the quarter reversed much of the advance. Additionally, there were two 0.25% hikes in short-term interest rates by the Federal Reserve (Fed) during the first three months of 2005.
Turning to the second quarter, U.S. stocks traded indecisively, as moderately positive news on the economy and corporate earnings was tempered by high crude oil prices, rising short-term interest rates and concerns about slowing economic growth. In the bond market, Treasuries outperformed other fixed-income asset classes, while investment-grade bonds outpaced high-yield securities in the corporate sector.
Broad-based U.S. stock indexes advanced in the third quarter, as favorable second quarter earnings boosted the market in July. In the bond space, longer-maturity yields rose in July on better-than-expected economic performance, then backed off as rising crude oil prices once again raised fears of a slowing economy.
Stocks made upward progress in the fourth quarter, propelling many broad-based stock indexes into positive territory for full-year 2005. In the bond market, the yield curve – a measure of the disparity of yields of bonds of comparable credit quality across a range of maturities from three months to 30 years and used as an economic indicator – continued to flatten, due to persistent upward pressure on short-term yields by the Fed's credit-tightening and the relatively flat movement of longer-term yields.
What factors contributed to the Fund's performance – and how have you positioned the Fund as a result? In the first quarter, the Fund's underperformance primarily came from sector corrections in biotechnology, Internet and technology. Conversely, our better-performing stocks came from broader sectors of the economy – such as retail, energy, medical devices, consumer, software and health care services. In the second quarter, favorable stock selection drove the Fund's performance, especially in the software space. Health care proved to be another productive area for the portfolio as we approached the mid-year mark, with biotechnology holdings providing some of the best returns. Although our retail positions turned in decent performance, the portfolio encountered performance weakness in some Internet holdings.
In the third quarter, energy price spikes and rising shorter-term interest rates caused the market to depress consumer-related stocks. We maintained an overweight position in technology and Internet stocks, on the belief that corporations have significantly under-invested in information technology. Conversely, we maintained an underweight position in financials, producer durables and basic materials – three non-emerging sectors that fueled benchmark performance in the past three years – but whose sustainability we began to question. Finally, in the fourth quarter, our Internet-related positions produced strong returns, as did one of our primary e-commerce positions. Detracting from results, however, were certain segments of health care, which dragged down our relative results, as a number of biotechnology and drug development positions fell sharply.

Notes to Financial Statements
1. The Fund
MML Series Investment Fund ("MML Trust") is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "1940 Act"), as a no-load, open-end, management investment company. The Trust is organized under the laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts as a Massachusetts business trust pursuant to an Agreement and Declaration of Trust dated May 14, 1993, as amended. The following are six series of the Trust (each individually referred to as a "Fund" or collectively as the "Funds"): MML Large Cap Value Fund ("Large Cap Value Fund"), MML Equity Index Fund ("Equity Index Fund"), MML Growth Equity Fund ("Growth Equity Fund"), MML OTC 100 Fund ("OTC 100 Fund"), MML Small Cap Growth Equity Fund ("Small Cap Growth Equity Fund") and MML Emerging Growth Fund ("Emerging Growth Fund").
The MML Trust was established by Massachusetts Mutual Life Insurance Company ("MassMutual") for the purpose of providing vehicles for the investment of assets of various separate investment accounts established by MassMutual and by life insurance companies which are subsidiaries of MassMutual. Shares of MML Trust are not offered to the general public.
The Equity Index Fund offers three classes of shares: Class I, Class II and Class III. Each share class invests in the same portfolio of assets. The principal difference among the classes is the level of service and administration fees borne by the classes. Because each class will have different fees and expenses, performance and share prices among the classes will vary. The classes of shares are offered to different types of investors, as outlined in the Fund's Prospectus.
After the close of business on April 29, 2005, each of the MML Money Market Fund, MML Inflation-Protected Bond Fund, MML Managed Bond Fund, MML Blend Fund, MML Equity Fund, MML Enhanced Index Core Equity Fund, MML Small Cap Equity Fund and MML Small Company Opportunities Fund, each a fund of MML Series Investment Fund II (each a "New Fund"), acquired all of the assets and liabilities of the MML Money Market Fund, MML Inflation-Protected Bond Fund, MML Managed Bond Fund, MML Blend Fund, MML Equity Fund, MML Enhanced Index Core Equity Fund, MML Small Cap Equity Fund and MML Small Company Opportunities Fund, each a fund of MML Series Investment Fund (each a "Fund"), respectively, pursuant to agreements and plans of reorganization that were approved by each Fund's respective shareholders on April 18, 2005. Each acquisition was accomplished by a tax-free transfer of all the assets of each Fund to the corresponding New Fund in exchange for shares of the New Fund and the assumption by the New Fund of all of the liabilities of the Fund. Information with respect to the Special Meeting of Shareholders of each Fund that was held on April 18, 2005 can be found in the December 31, 2005 annual report for MML Series Investment Fund II.
2. Significant Accounting Policies
The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed consistently by each Fund in the preparation of the financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("generally accepted accounting principles"). The preparation of the financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Investment Valuation
Equity securities are valued on the basis of valuations furnished by a pricing service, authorized by the Board of Trustees ("Trustees"), which provides the last reported sale price for securities listed on a national securities exchange or the official closing price on the NASDAQ National Market System, or in the case of over-the-counter securities not so listed, the last reported bid price. Debt securities (other than short-term obligations with a remaining maturity of sixty days or less) are valued on the basis of valuations furnished by a pricing service, authorized 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, m aturity, type of issue, trading characteristics and other market data. Short-term securities with a remaining maturity of sixty days or less are valued at either amortized cost or at original cost plus accrued interest, whichever approximates current market value. All other securities and other assets, including futures, options, swaps and debt securities for which the prices supplied by
59
Notes to Financial Statements (Continued)
a pricing agent are deemed by the Trustees not to be representative of market values, including restricted securities and securities for which no market quotation is available, are valued at fair value in accordance with procedures approved by and determined in good faith by the Trustees, although the actual calculation may be done by others. Securities are typically valued on the basis of valuations furnished by a primary pricing service or, if no such valuation is available, from a secondary pricing service. However, valuation methods approved by the Trustees which are intended to reflect fair value may be used when pricing service information is not readily available or when a security's value is believed to have been materially affected by a significant event, such as a natural disaster, an economic event like a bankruptcy filing, or a substantial fluctuation in domestic or foreign markets, that has occurred after the close of the exchan ge or market on which the security is principally traded (for example, a foreign exchange or market). In such a case, a Fund's value for a security is likely to be different from the last quoted market price or pricing service information. Due to the subjective and variable nature of fair value pricing, it is possible that the value determined for a particular asset may be materially different from the value realized upon such asset's sale.
Portfolio securities traded on more than one national securities exchange are valued at the last price on the business day as of which such value is being determined at the close of the exchange representing the principal market for such securities. All assets and liabilities expressed in foreign currencies are converted into U.S. dollars at the mean between the buying and selling rates of such currencies against U.S. dollars last quoted by any major bank. If such quotations are not available, the rate of exchange is determined in accordance with policies established by the Trustees.
Securities Lending
Each Fund may lend its securities to qualified brokers; however, securities lending cannot exceed 33% of the total assets of the Funds taken at current value. The loans are collateralized at all times with cash or securities with a market value at least equal to 100% of the market value of the securities on loan. The market value of the loaned securities is determined at the close of business of the Fund and any additional collateral is delivered to the Fund the next business day. As with other extensions of credit, the Funds may bear the risk of delay in recovery or even loss of rights in the collateral should the borrower of the securities fail financially. The Funds receive compensation for lending their securities. At December 31, 2005, the Funds l oaned securities having the following market values, collateralized by cash, which was invested in short-term instruments in the following amounts:
Securities on Loan | Collateral | ||||||||||
Large Cap Value Fund | $ | 17,655,219 | $ | 18,141,882 | |||||||
Equity Index Fund | 29,856,824 | 31,128,588 | |||||||||
Growth Equity Fund | 2,188,716 | 2,263,184 | |||||||||
Small Cap Growth Equity Fund | 18,934,409 | 19,769,686 |
For each Fund the amount of securities on loan indicated in the table above may not correspond with the securities on loan identified on the Portfolio of Investments because securities with pending sales are in process of recall from the brokers. At December 31, 2005, the Equity Index Fund had securities on loan with pending sales with a market value of $29,471.
The Trust receives, as fees, a share of the income earned on investment of the cash collateral received for for the loan of securities. For the year ended December 31, 2005, the Trust earned securities lending income and paid securities lending fees and expenses as follows:
Securities Lending Gross Income | Securities Lending Fees and Expenses | Securities Lending Net Income | |||||||||||||
Large Cap Value Fund | $ | 519,945 | $ | (508,822 | ) | $ | 11,123 | ||||||||

Small Cap Growth Equity Fund | 516,326 | (449,327 | ) | 66,999 |

Notes to Financial Statements (Continued)
Repurchase Agreements
Each Fund may enter into repurchase agreements with certain banks and broker/dealers whereby a Fund acquires a security for cash and obtains a simultaneous commitment from the seller to repurchase the security at an agreed upon price and date. The Funds, through their custodian, take possession of the securities collateralizing the repurchase agreement. The collateral is marked to market daily to ensure that the market value of the underlying assets remains sufficient to protect the Funds in the event of default by the seller. Collateral for certain tri-party repurchase agreements is held at the counterparty's custodian in a segregated account for the benefit of the Funds and the counterparty. In connection with transactions in repurchase agreements , if the seller defaults and the value of the collateral declines or if the seller enters insolvency proceedings, realization of collateral by the Funds may be delayed or limited.
Accounting for Investments
Investment transactions are accounted for on the trade date. Realized gains and losses on sales of investments and unrealized appreciation and depreciation of investments are computed on the specific identification cost method. Interest income, adjusted for amortization of discounts and premiums on debt securities, is earned from the settlement date and is recorded on the accrual basis. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date.
Federal Income Tax
It is each Fund's intent to continue to comply with the provisions of subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"), applicable to a regulated investment company. Under such provisions, the Funds will not be subject to federal income taxes on their ordinary income and net realized capital gains to the extent they are distributed or deemed to have been distributed to their shareholders. Therefore, no Federal income tax provision is required. Withholding taxes on foreign interest, dividends, and capital gains have been provided for in accordance with the applicable country's tax rules and rates.
Dividends and Distributions to Shareholders
Dividends from net investment income and distributions of any net realized capital gains of each Fund are declared and paid annually and at other times as may be required to satisfy tax or regulatory requirements. Distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from generally accepted accounting principles. These differences are primarily due to investments in passive foreign investment companies and the deferral of wash sale losses. As a result, net investment income and net realized gain on investment transactions for a reporting period may differ significantly from distributions during such per iod.
Accordingly, the Funds may periodically make reclassifications among certain of their capital accounts without impacting the net asset value of the Funds.
During the year ended December 31, 2005, the following amounts were reclassified due to differences between book and tax accounting.
Paid-in Capital | Accumulated Net Realized Gain (Loss) on Investments | Undistributed Net Investment Income | |||||||||||||
Large Cap Value Fund | $ | (32,206 | ) | $ | (32,354 | ) | $ | 64,560 | |||||||

Notes to Financial Statements (Continued)
Foreign Currency Translation
The books and records of the Funds are maintained in U.S. dollars. The market values of foreign currencies, foreign securities and other assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars at the mean of the buying and selling rates of such currencies against the U.S. dollar at the end of each business day. Purchases and sales of foreign securities and income and expense items are translated at the rates of exchange prevailing on the respective dates of such transactions. The Funds do not isolate that portion of the results of operations arising from changes in the exchange rates from that portion arising from changes in the market prices of securities. Net realized foreign currency gains and losses resul ting from changes in exchange rates include foreign currency gains and losses between trade date and settlement date on investment securities transactions, foreign currency transactions and the difference between the amounts of dividends recorded on the books of the Funds and the amount actually received.
Forward Foreign Currency Contracts
Each Fund may enter into forward foreign currency contracts in order to hedge the effect of currency movements of foreign denominated securities or obligations. A forward foreign currency contract is an agreement between two parties to buy and sell a currency at a set price on a future date. The market value of a forward foreign currency contract fluctuates with changes in foreign currency exchange and interest rates. Forward foreign currency contracts are marked to market daily and the change in their value is recorded by the Funds as an unrealized gain or loss. When a forward foreign currency contract is extinguished, through delivery or offset by ente ring into another forward foreign currency contract, the Funds record a realized gain or loss equal to the difference between the value of the contract at the time it was opened and the value of the contract at the time it was extinguished or offset.
Forward foreign currency contracts involve a risk of loss from the potential inability of counterparties to meet the terms of their contracts and from unanticipated movements in foreign currency values and interest rates.
The notional or contractual amounts of these instruments represent the investments the Funds have in particular classes of financial instruments and do not necessarily represent the amounts potentially subject to risk. The measurement of the risk associated with these instruments is meaningful only when all related and offsetting transactions are considered.
At December 31, 2005, the Funds had no open forward foreign currency contracts.
Delayed Delivery Transactions, When Issued Securities, and Forward Commitments Each Fund may purchase or sell securities on a "when issued" or delayed delivery or on a forward commitment basis. The Funds use forward commitments to manage interest rate exposure or as a temporary substitute for purchasing or selling particular debt securities. Payment and delivery may take place after the customary settlement period for that security. The price of the underlying securities and the date when the securities will be delivered and paid for are fixed at the time the transaction is negotiated. These securities are valued on the basis of valuations furnished by a pricing service, authorized by the Trustees, which determines valuations taking into account appropriate factors such as institutional-size trading in similar groups of securities, yield, quality, coupon rate, maturity, type of issue, trading characteristics and other market data. Securities for which no market quotation is available, are valued at fair value in accordance with procedures approved by and determined in good faith by the Trustees, although the actual calculation may be done by others. The Funds record on a daily basis the unrealized appreciation (depreciation) based upon changes in the value of these securities. When a forward commitment contract is closed, the Funds record a realized gain or loss equal to the difference between the value of the contract at the time it was opened and the value of the contract at the time it was closed. Losses may arise due to changes in the value of the underlying securities or if the counterparty does not perform under the contract, or if the issuer does not issue the securities due to political, economic, or other factors. Funds monitor exposure to ensure counterparties are creditworthy and concentration of exposure is minimized.
At December 31, 2005, the Funds had no open delayed delivery transactions, when issued securities or forward commitments.

Notes to Financial Statements (Continued)
Financial Futures Contracts
The Funds may purchase or sell financial futures contracts and options on such futures contracts for the purpose of hedging the market risk on existing securities or as a substitute for the purchase of securities. Futures contracts are contracts for delayed delivery of securities at a specific future date and at a specific price or yield. Upon entering into a contract, the Funds deposit and maintain as collateral such initial margin as required by the exchange on which the transaction is effected. Pursuant to the contract, the Fund agrees to receive from or pay to the broker an amount of cash equal to the daily fluctuation in value of the contract. Such receipts or payments are known as variation margin and are recorded by the Funds as unreali zed gains or losses. When the contract is closed, each Fund records a realized gain or loss equal to the difference between the value of the contract at the time it was opened and the value at the time it was closed. Futures contracts are valued at the settlement price established each day by the board of trade or exchange on which they are traded.
A summary of open futures contracts for the Equity Index Fund, the Growth Equity Fund, and the OTC 100 Fund at December 31, 2005, is as follows:
Number of Contracts | Type | Expiration Date | Notional Contract Value | Net Unrealized Depreciation | |||||||||||||||
MML Equity Index Fund | |||||||||||||||||||
BUYS 39 | S&P 500 Index | 03/17/06 | $ | 2,446,860 | $ | (28,290 | ) | ||||||||||||

MML OTC 100 Fund | |||||||||||||||||||
BUYS 8 | NASDAQ 100 Index | 03/18/06 | 265,440 | (4,691 | ) |
Allocation of Operating Activity
In maintaining the records for the Equity Index Fund, the income and expense accounts are allocated to each class of shares. Investment income, unrealized and realized gains or losses are prorated among the classes of shares based on the relative net assets of each. Expenses are allocated to each class of shares depending on the nature of the expenditures. Administration fees, which are directly attributable to a class of shares, are charged to that class' operations. Expenses of the Fund not directly attributable to the operations of any class of shares are prorated among the classes to which the expense relates based on the relative net assets of each.
Foreign Securities The Funds may also invest in foreign securities, subject to certain percentage restrictions. Investing in securities of foreign companies and foreign governments involves special risks and considerations not typically associated with investing in securities issued by U.S. companies and the U.S. Government. These risks include revaluation of currencies and future adverse political and economic developments. Moreover, securities of many foreign companies and 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.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the Board of Trustees and Shareholders of MML Series Investment Fund
We have audited the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities, including the portfolios of investments, of the MML Series Investment Fund (the "MML Trust"), comprised of the Large Cap Value Fund, the Equity Index Fund, the Growth Equity Fund, the OTC 100 Fund, the Small Cap Growth Equity Fund and the Emerging Growth Fund (collectively the "Funds"), as of December 31, 2005, and the related statements of operations for the year then ended, the statements of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended. These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the MML Trust's 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 MML Trust is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audits include 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 of the effectiveness of the MML Trust's 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 sign ificant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. Our procedures include confirmation of securities owned as of December 31, 2005, by correspondence with the custodian and brokers; where replies were not received from brokers, we performed other auditing procedures. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, such financial statements and financial highlights present fairly, in all material respects, the financial positions of each of the Funds constituting the MML Trust as of December 31, 2005, and the results of their operations for the year then ended, the changes in their net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended and their financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Fund Expenses December 31, 2005
Expense Examples | The following information is in regards to expenses for the six month period ended December 31, 2005: | ||||||
As a shareholder of the Funds, you incur ongoing costs, including management fees and other Fund expenses. These examples are intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Funds and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds. | |||||||
These examples are based on an investment of $1,000 invested for the six month period ended December 31, 2005. | |||||||
Actual Expenses | The first line of each table on the following pages provides information about 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 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 of each table on the following pages provides information about 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 values 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 the 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. | ||||||
Please note that the expenses shown in the tables are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only. Therefore, the second line of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. | |||||||

To Our Shareholders
David O'Leary
The new year provides investors with an excellent opportunity to take their financial pulse by checking in with their financial representative. For 2006, there are mixed signals on the investment horizon. MassMutual, however, stands by its conviction that most investors are best served by attention to proper asset allocation and an investment strategy that concentrates on the long term.
MML Series Investment Fund – Letter to Shareholders
2005: A stormy year in many respects
Weather-related stories dominated the headlines for the 12 months ended December 31, 2005 – beginning with the fallout from the late 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami. Elsewhere, October's devastating Pakistan earthquake and Hurricanes Katrina, Rita and Wilma heightened investors' awareness of the power of nature and the impact of current events on the markets.
On the economic front, the first three months of 2005 saw the broader U.S. stock averages struggle unsuccessfully against the headwinds of widespread expectations for slower economic growth, reduced corporate profits and rising inflation – especially in the form of rising crude oil prices. Foreign stocks substantially outperformed U.S. stocks in this environment, but bond prices struggled.
In the second quarter, U.S. stocks struggled to find direction, as moderately positive news on the economy and corporate earnings was tempered by high crude oil prices, rising short-term interest rates and concerns about slowing economic growth. A strong U.S. dollar hampered foreign stocks. In the bond market, Treasuries outperformed other fixed-income asset classes.
Broad-based U.S. stock indexes advanced in the third quarter, as favorable second quarter earnings boosted the market in July. In the bond market, longer-maturity yields rose in July on better-than-expected economic performance, then backed off as soaring crude oil prices once again raised fears of a slowing economy. The Lehman Brothers® Aggregate Bond Index, a broad measure of the U.S. investment-grade fixed-income markets, closed the quarter with a return of -0.67%.*
Stocks made upward progress in the fourth quarter, boosting many broad-based stock indexes into positive territory for full-year 2005. The U.S. economy grew at a pace of 4.1% in the third quarter, lower than initial estimates, but still pleasantly surprising many observers. For the full year, the Dow Jones Industrial AverageSM (The Dow), a barometer of blue-chip stock activity, returned -0.61%, after losing ground in the final week of December. The technology-focused Nasdaq Composite® Index gained 1.37% for the 12-month period, trailing the S&P 500® Index, a measure of U.S. large-cap stock performance, which returned 4.91% in the same period. The clear winner for the year, however, was the MSCI® EAFE® Index, a benchmark for foreign stocks that delivered an impressive 13.54% return.*
In the bond market during the fourth quarter, the yield curve continued to flatten – indicating a smaller difference in yields between shorter- and longer-term fixed income investments. This flattening of yields is due in large part to persistent upward pressure on short-term yields by the Federal Reserve's (Fed's) credit-tightening and the relatively flat movement of longer-term yields. For the full year, the Lehman Brothers Aggregate Bond Index advanced 2.43%.*
The Major Stories of 2005
Among the events affecting the financial markets during 2005, the sharp rise in energy prices qualifies as one of the most important. Crude oil prices, which began the year near the $40-per-barrel level, ended December around $60 a barrel, following a brief surge above $70 at the end of August. In pure percentage terms, the advance in natural gas was even greater. Many Americans felt the energy squeeze most acutely in the rising cost of unleaded gasoline – whose average per-gallon price

MassMutual Funds – Letter to Shareholders (Continued)
increased during the year from around $1.75 to $2.20. Fears that higher energy costs might hamper consumer spending turned out to be unfounded, however. From the Friday after Thanksgiving through December 24, U.S. consumers spent 8.7% more in 2005 than in the previous year.
Rising short-term interest rates were another important trend in 2005. The Fed boosted the federal funds rate in 0.25% increments a total of eight times during the year – for a total of 2.0%. Rising interest rates mean higher costs for various types of consumer and business loans. One area of particular concern is home mortgages, along with home equity loans and lines of credit, which have helped finance a significant portion of consumer spending during the past few years. Many experts are concerned about what will happen to consumer spending if housing prices decelerate significantly. Two news items pointed to concerns about real estate's immediate prospects near the end of December. The Mortgage Bankers Association reported that U.S. mortgage applications fell to more than a three-and-a-half-year low, and the National Association of Realtors reported that inventories of existing homes for sale rose to their highest level in more than 19 years.
Outlook
The beginning of the new year is an ideal time to assess your long-term financial strategy. An annual check-up with your financial representative can help ensure that you have positioned yourself to reach your long-term financial goals.
As we proceed into 2006, key economic indicators are mixed. The positive factors include an economy that continues to grow faster than expected, rebounding consumer confidence, muted inflation and interest rates that are still low by historical standards. Currently, strong corporate balance sheets, forecasts for double-digit earnings growth in 2006 and moderate valuations are also positives. Cautionary factors include the possibility that consumer spending will weaken as home refinancing opportunities dry up, and a market that has slowed its advance somewhat in the third year of this bull market. That said, we believe that most investors are best served by attention to proper asset allocation and an investment strategy that focuses less on the market's short-term movements and more on the long term potential. (As always, past performance is no guarantee of future results.)
The information provided is the opinion of MassMutual as of 1/1/2006 and is subject to change without notice. It is not to be construed as tax, legal or investment advice.

MML Equity Index Fund – Portfolio Manager Report
What is the investment objective of the MML Equity Index Fund? The Fund seeks to provide investment results that correspond to the price and yield performance of publicly traded common stocks in the aggregate as represented by the S&P 500® Index. The Fund pursues this objective by investing at least 80% of its assets in the equity securities of companies that make up the S&P 500 Index.
How did the Fund perform during the 12 months ended December 31, 2005? The Fund's Class I shares returned 4.53%, moderately trailing the 4.91% return of the S&P 500 Index, a widely recognized, unmanaged index representative of common stocks of larger capitalized U.S. companies.
What was the investment backdrop during the period? The first quarter saw the broader U.S. stock averages struggle unsuccessfully to remain above the break-even mark in the midst of widespread expectations for slower growth by the nation's economy and a reduction in corporate profits. On the fixed-income front, bond yields fell and prices rose in January, but fears of rising inflation later in the quarter reversed much of the advance. Additionally, there were two 0.25% hikes in short-term interest rates by the Federal Reserve (Fed) during the first three months of 2005. Turning to the second quarter, U.S. stocks traded indecisively, as moderately positive news on the economy and corporate earnings was tempered by high crude oil prices and rising short-term interest rates. In the bond market, Treasuries outperformed other fixed-income asset class es, while investment-grade bonds outpaced high-yield securities in the corporate sector.
The third quarter was dominated by a strong rally in oil prices, compounded by the impact of Hurricanes Katrina and Rita. The Fed raised the federal funds rate twice during the quarter, its main concern being the increasing risk of inflation due to escalating energy costs. The economic environment continued nearly unchanged in the fourth quarter, as oil prices and interest rates continued to dominate the headlines – and the Fed raised interest rates twice more, bringing the total to eight 0.25% increases in 2005. After reaching $70 per barrel at the end of August, light crude oil prices retreated during the fourth quarter and finished the year at $61 per barrel.
What factors contributed to the Fund's performance? In the first quarter, growth stocks outpaced value issues, and small- and mid-cap securities ended the period in negative territory. On a sector basis, the energy and utilities sectors posted the best performance – but not enough to bring the S&P 500 Index (the Index) into positive territory. The financial sector of the Index lost 6.38% and information technology dropped 7.33%. The worst-performing sector for the period, telecommunications services, returned –7.78%. Against the backdrop of high oil prices and two interest hikes by the Fed, the majority of U.S. equity indexes posted negative returns for the period.
In the second quarter, value stocks outpaced their growth counterparts, and small- and mid-cap securities posted positive returns. From a sector perspective, utilities and financials sectors posted the best performance, up 9.31% and 4.33%, respectively. The health care sector was also positive for the period, posting a return of 4.13%. The increase in the energy sector continued, as that sector advanced 1.99%. The worst-performing group for the second quarter was materials, which fell 9.47%.
Large-capitalization stocks in the third quarter underperformed both mid- and small-cap stocks. During the quarter, energy was the best-performing sector in the Index, returning 18.25%, and telecommunication services, with its loss of 1.05%, was the worst performer. In the final quarter of 2005, large-cap stocks once again underperformed mid-caps. This time, however, large issues outpaced their small-capitalization competition. Energy was the worst-performing sector in the Index, returning -7.36%; materials was the best-performing group, advancing 11.19%.

MML Equity Index Fund – Portfolio Manager Report (Continued)
What is your outlook? Conflicting signals abound as we enter 2006. Positive factors include an economy that continues to grow more than expected, rebounding consumer confidence, muted inflation interest rates that are still low by historical standards – along with currently strong corporate balance sheets, forecasts for double-digit earnings growth in 2006 and moderate valuations. Conversely, cautionary factors include the possibility that consumer spending will weaken as home refinancing opportunities dry up, a historically challenging phase of the four-year presidential cycle and a market that has slowed somewhat in its advance. In such an environment, proper asset allocation and an investment strategy that concentrates on the long term are important areas of focus for investors.

Notes to Financial Statements
1. The Fund
MML Series Investment Fund ("MML Trust") is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "1940 Act"), as a no-load, open end, management investment company. The Trust is organized under the laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts as a Massachusetts business trust pursuant to an Agreement and Declaration of Trust dated May 14, 1993, as amended. The following is a series of the Trust (referred to as the "Fund"): MML Equity Index Fund ("Equity Index Fund").
The MML Trust was established by Massachusetts Mutual Life Insurance Company ("MassMutual") for the purpose of providing vehicles for the investment of assets of various separate investment accounts established by MassMutual and by life insurance companies which are subsidiaries of MassMutual. Shares of MML Trust are not offered to the general public.
The Fund offers three classes of shares: Class I, Class II and Class III. Each share class invests in the same portfolio of assets. The principal difference among the classes is the level of service and administration fees borne by the classes. Because each class will have different fees and expenses, performance and share prices among the classes will vary. The classes of shares are offered to different types of investors, as outlined in the Fund's Prospectus.
2. Significant Accounting Policies
The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed consistently by the Fund in the preparation of the financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("generally accepted accounting principles"). The preparation of the financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Investment Valuation
Equity securities are valued on the basis of valuations furnished by a pricing service, authorized by the Board of Trustees ("Trustees"), which provides the last reported sale price for securities listed on a national securities exchange or the official closing price on the NASDAQ National Market System, or in the case of over-the-counter securities not so listed, the last reported bid price. Debt securities (other than short-term obligations with a remaining maturity of sixty days or less) are valued on the basis of valuations furnished by a pricing service, authorized 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, m aturity, type of issue, trading characteristics and other market data. Short-term securities with a remaining maturity of sixty days or less are valued at either amortized cost or at original cost plus accrued interest, whichever approximates current market value. All other securities and other assets, including futures, options, swaps and debt securities for which the prices supplied by a pricing agent are deemed by the Trustees not to be representative of market values, including restricted securities and securities for which no market quotation is available, are valued at fair value in accordance with procedures approved by and determined in good faith by the Trustees, although the actual calculation may be done by others. Securities are typically valued on the basis of valuations furnished by a primary pricing service or, if no such valuation is available, from a secondary pricing service. However, valuation methods approved by the Trustees which are intended to reflect fair value may be used when pricin g service information is not readily available or when a security's value is believed to have been materially affected by a significant event, such as a natural disaster, an economic event like a bankruptcy filing, or a substantial fluctuation in domestic or foreign markets, that has occurred after the close of the exchange or market on which the security is principally traded (for example, a foreign exchange or market). In such a case, the Fund's value for a security is likely to be different from the last quoted market price or pricing service information. Due to the subjective and variable nature of fair value pricing, it is possible that the value determined for a particular asset may be materially different from the value realized upon such asset's sale.
Portfolio securities traded on more than one national securities exchange are valued at the last price on the business day as of which such value is being determined at the close of the exchange representing the principal market for such securities. All assets and liabilities expressed in foreign currencies are converted into U.S. dollars at the mean between the buying and selling rates of such currencies against
17
Notes to Financial Statements (Continued)
U.S. dollars last quoted by any major bank. If such quotations are not available, the rate of exchange is determined in accordance with policies established by the Trustees.
Securities Lending
The Fund may lend its securities to qualified brokers; however, securities lending cannot exceed 33% of the total assets of the Fund taken at current value. The loans are collateralized at all times with cash or securities with a market value at least equal to 100% of the market value of the securities on loan. The market value of the loaned securities is determined at the close of business of the Fund and any additional collateral is delivered to the Fund the next business day. As with other extensions of credit, the Fund may bear the risk of delay in recovery or even loss of rights in the collateral should the borrower of the securities fail financially. The Fund receives compensation for lending its securities. At December 31, 2005, the Fund loaned securities having a market value of $29,856,824, collateralized by cash, which was invested in short-term instruments with a market value of $31,128,588.
The amount of securities on loan indicated in the table above may not correspond with the securities on loan identified on the Portfolio of Investments because securities with pending sales are in process of recall from the brokers. At December 31, 2005, the Fund had securities on loan with pending sales in the amount of $29,471.
The Fund receives, as fees, a share of the income earned on investment of the cash collateral received for the loan of securities. For the year ended December 31, 2005, the Fund earned securities lending income in the following amount:
Securities Lending Gross Income | Securities Lending Fees and Expenses | Securities Lending Net Income | |||||||||
$ | 1,046,123 | $ | (1,015,990 | ) | $ | 30,133 |
Repurchase Agreements
The Fund may enter into repurchase agreements with certain banks and broker/dealers whereby the Fund acquires a security for cash and obtains a simultaneous commitment from the seller to repurchase the security at an agreed upon price and date. The Fund, through its custodian, takes possession of the securities collateralizing the repurchase agreement. The collateral is marked to market daily to ensure that the market value of the underlying assets remains sufficient to protect the Fund in the event of default by the seller. Collateral for certain tri-party repurchase agreements is held at the counterparty's custodian in a segregated account for the benefit of the Fund and the counterparty. In connection with transactions in repurchase agreements, i f the seller defaults and the value of the collateral declines or if the seller enters insolvency proceedings, realization of collateral by the Fund may be delayed or limited.
Accounting for Investments
Investment transactions are accounted for on the trade date. Realized gains and losses on sales of investments and unrealized appreciation and depreciation of investments are computed on the specific identification cost method. Interest income, adjusted for amortization of discounts and premiums on debt securities, is earned from the settlement date and is recorded on the accrual basis. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date.
Federal Income Tax
It is the Fund's intent to continue to comply with the provisions of subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"), applicable to a regulated investment company. Under such provisions, the Fund will not be subject to federal income taxes on its ordinary income and net realized capital gains to the extent they are distributed or deemed to have been distributed to its shareholders. Therefore, no Federal income tax provision is required.
Dividends and Distributions to Shareholders
Dividends from net investment income and distributions of any net realized capital gains of the Fund are declared and paid annually and at other times as may be required to satisfy tax or regulatory requirements. Distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from generally accepted accounting principles. These differences are primarily due to investments in passive

Notes to Financial Statements (Continued)
foreign investment companies and the deferral of wash sale losses. As a result, net investment income and net realized gain on investment transactions for a reporting period may differ significantly from distributions during such period.
Accordingly, the Fund may periodically make reclassifications among certain of their capital accounts without impacting the net asset value of the Fund.
During the year ended December 31, 2005, the following amounts were reclassified due to differences between book and tax accounting.
Paid-in Capital | Accumulated Net Realized Gain (Loss) on Investments | Undistributed Net Investment Income | |||||||||
$ | (70,186 | ) | $ | 102,309 | $ | (32,123 | ) |
Foreign Currency Translation
The books and records of the Fund are maintained in U.S. dollars. The market values of foreign currencies, foreign securities and other assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars at the mean of the buying and selling rates of such currencies against the U.S. dollar at the end of each business day. Purchases and sales of foreign securities and income and expense items are translated at the rates of exchange prevailing on the respective dates of such transactions. The Fund does not isolate that portion of the results of operations arising from changes in the exchange rates from that portion arising from changes in the market prices of securities. Net realized foreign currency gains and losses resul ting from changes in exchange rates include foreign currency gains and losses between trade date and settlement date on investment securities transactions, foreign currency transactions and the difference between the amounts of dividends recorded on the books of the Fund and the amount actually received.
Forward Foreign Currency Contracts
The Fund may enter into forward foreign currency contracts in order to hedge the effect of currency movements of foreign denominated securities or obligations. A forward foreign currency contract is an agreement between two parties to buy and sell a currency at a set price on a future date. The market value of a forward foreign currency contract fluctuates with changes in foreign currency exchange and interest rates. Forward foreign currency contracts are marked to market daily and the change in their value is recorded by the Fund as an unrealized gain or loss. When a forward foreign currency contract is extinguished, through delivery or offset by enteri ng into another forward foreign currency contract, the Fund records a realized gain or loss equal to the difference between the value of the contract at the time it was opened and the value of the contract at the time it was extinguished or offset.
Forward foreign currency contracts involve a risk of loss from the potential inability of counterparties to meet the terms of their contracts and from unanticipated movements in foreign currency values and interest rates.
The notional or contractual amounts of these instruments represent the investments the Fund has in particular classes of financial instruments and does not necessarily represent the amounts potentially subject to risk. The measurement of the risk associated with these instruments is meaningful only when all related and offsetting transactions are considered.
At December 31, 2005, the Fund had no open forward foreign currency contracts.

Notes to Financial Statements (Continued)
Delayed Delivery Transactions, When Issued Securities, and Forward Commitments The Fund may purchase or sell securities on a "when issued" or delayed delivery or on a forward commitment basis. The Fund uses forward commitments to manage interest rate exposure or as a temporary substitute for purchasing or selling particular debt securities. Payment and delivery may take place after the customary settlement period for that security. The price of the underlying securities and the date when the securities will be delivered and paid for are fixed at the time the transaction is negotiated. These securities are valued on the basis of valuations furnished by a pricing service, authorized by the Trustees, which determines valuations taking into account appropriate factors such a s institutional-size trading in similar groups of securities, yield, quality, coupon rate, maturity, type of issue, trading characteristics and other market data. Securities for which no market quotation is available, are valued at fair value in accordance with procedures approved by and determined in good faith by the Trustees, although the actual calculation may be done by others. The Fund records on a daily basis the unrealized appreciation (depreciation) based upon changes in the value of these securities. When a forward commitment contract is closed, the Fund records a realized gain or loss equal to the difference between the value of the contract at the time it was opened and the value of the contract at the time it was closed. Losses may arise due to changes in the value of the underlying securities or if the counterparty does not perform under the contract, or if the issuer does not issue the securities due to political, economic, or other factors. The Fund monitors exposure to ensure counterparties are creditworthy and concentration of exposure is minimized.
At December 31, 2005, the Fund had no open forward commitments, delayed delivery contracts or when issued securities.
Financial Futures Contracts
The Fund may purchase or sell financial futures contracts and options on such futures contracts for the purpose of hedging the market risk on existing securities or as a substitute for the purchase of securities. Futures contracts are contracts for delayed delivery of securities at a specific future date and at a specific price or yield. Upon entering into a contract, the Fund deposits and maintains as collateral such initial margin as required by the exchange on which the transaction is effected. Pursuant to the contract, the Fund agrees to receive from or pay to the broker an amount of cash equal to the daily fluctuation in value of the contract. Such receipts or payments are known as variation margin and are recorded by the Fund as unrealiz ed gains or losses. When the contract is closed, the Fund records a realized gain or loss equal to the difference between the value of the contract at the time it was opened and the value at the time it was closed. Futures contracts are valued at the settlement price established each day by the board of trade or exchange on which they are traded.
A summary of open futures contracts for the Fund at December 31, 2005, is as follows:
Number of Contracts | Type | Expiration Date | Notional Contract Value | Net Unrealized Depreciation | |||||||||||||||
MML Equity Index Fund | |||||||||||||||||||
BUYS 39 | S&P 500 Index | 03/17/06 | $ | 2,446,860 | $ | (28,290 | ) |
Allocation of Operating Activity
In maintaining the records for the Fund, the income and expense accounts are allocated to each class of shares. Investment income, unrealized and realized gains or losses are prorated among the classes of shares based on the relative net assets of each. Expenses are allocated to each class of shares depending on the nature of the expenditures. Administration fees, which are directly attributable to a class of shares, are charged to that class' operations. Expenses of the Fund not directly attributable to the operations of any class of shares are prorated among the classes to which the expense relates based on the relative net assets of each.

Notes to Financial Statements (Continued)
Foreign Securities The Fund may also invest in foreign securities, subject to certain percentage restrictions. Investing in securities of foreign companies and foreign governments involves special risks and considerations not typically associated with investing in securities issued by U.S. companies and the U.S. Government. These risks include revaluation of currencies and future adverse political and economic developments. Moreover, securities of many foreign companies and 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.
3. Management Fees and Other Transactions
Investment Management Fees
Under an agreement between the Trust and MassMutual on behalf of the Fund, MassMutual is responsible for providing investment management services for the Fund. In return for this service, MassMutual receives an advisory fee quarterly from the Fund at the annual rate of 0.10% of the average daily net asset value of the Fund.
MassMutual has entered into an investment sub-advisory agreement with Northern Trust Investments, N.A. ("Northern Trust") for the Fund. MassMutual pays a sub-advisory fee to Northern Trust based upon the aggregate net assets under management which include (1) the average daily net assets of the Fund, and (2) the average daily net assets of all other funds or accounts of MassMutual or its affiliates for which Northern Trust provides sub-advisory services and which have substantially the same investment objectives, policies and investment strategies.
Administration & Shareholder Service Fees Under a separate administrative and shareholder services agreement between the Fund and MassMutual, MassMutual provides certain administrative and shareholder services and bears some class specific administrative expenses. In return for these services, MassMutual receives an administrative services fee monthly based upon the average daily net assets of the applicable class of shares of the Fund at the following annual rates: 0.30% on the first $100,000,000, 0.28% on the next $150,000,000 and 0.26% on assets in excess of $250,000,000 of Class I shares of the Fund, 0.19% of the average daily net assets of Class II shares of the Fund, and for Class III shares, an amount not to exceed 0.05% of the average daily net assets of the Class III shares.
Expense Waivers For each class of the Fund, MassMutual has agreed, at least through April 30, 2006, to bear the expenses of the Fund, to the extent that the aggregate expenses (excluding the Fund's management and administrative fees, interest, taxes, brokerage commissions and extraordinary expenses) incurred during the Fund's fiscal year exceed 0.05% of the average daily net assets of the Fund for such year. MassMutual has also agreed to waive certain administrative and shareholder service fees payable by the Fund on account of Class II or Class III shares.
Other Certain officers and trustees of the Fund are also officers of MassMutual. The compensation of each trustee who is not an officer of MassMutual is borne by the Fund.
Deferred Compensation Trustees of the Fund that are not employees of MassMutual or its subsidiaries may elect to defer receipt of their annual fees in accordance with terms of the Non-Qualified Deferred Compensation Plan. Any amounts deferred shall accrue interest at a rate equal to eight percent (8%) per annum.
For the year ended December 31, 2005, no significant amounts have been deferred.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the Board of Trustees and Shareholders of MML Series Investment Fund
We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities, including the portfolio of investments, of the MML Series Investment Fund ("MML Trust"), comprised of the Equity Index Fund (the "Fund"), as of December 31, 2005, and the related statement of operations for the year then ended, the statements of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended. These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the MML Trust's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and financial highlights based on our audit.
We conducted our audit 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 are free of material misstatement. The MML Trust is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audits include 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 of the effectiveness of the MML Trust's 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 include confirmation of securities owned as of December 31, 2005, by correspondence with the custodian and brokers; where replies were not received from brokers, we performed other auditing procedures. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, such financial statements and financial highlights present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Fund as of December 31, 2005, and the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended and its financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Fund Expenses
December 31, 2005
Expense Examples | The following information is in regards to expenses for the six month period ended December 31, 2005: As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur ongoing costs, including management fees and other Fund expenses. These examples are intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds. These examples are based on an investment of $1,000 invested for the six month period ended December 31, 2005. | ||||||
Actual Expenses | The first line of each table on the following pages provides information about 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 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 of each table on the following pages provides information about 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 values 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 the 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. Please note that the expenses shown in the tables are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only. Therefore, the second line of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relati ve total costs of owning different funds. | ||||||
