MassMutual Funds Annual Report – President’s Letter to Shareholders (Unaudited) |
To Our Shareholders

Continued market volatility challenges retirement investors
I am pleased to present you with the MassMutual Funds Annual Report. During the fiscal year ended September 30, 2022, U.S. stocks were down over 15%, with investors concerned that stimulus-fueled recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic was over and that domestic monetary policy had turned toward combating heightened inflation. Stocks in foreign developed markets and emerging markets also experienced significant losses in the fiscal year, hurt by elevated energy prices, a strengthening U.S. dollar, and concerns that consumer spending and corporate earnings growth would slow. U.S. bond investors experienced negative returns in the rising interest rate environment, fueled by aggressive interest rate hikes by the U.S. Federal Reserve Board that were aimed at reducing demand-driven inflationary pressures.
Suggestions for retirement investors under any market conditions
● | You are likely in it for the long term. Retirement planning involves what financial professionals refer to as “long-term investing,” since most people save and invest for retirement throughout their working years. Even in retirement, many individuals will systematically withdraw their retirement savings over a number of years, keeping a portion of their funds invested. Although the financial markets will go up and down, individuals who take a long-term approach to investing don’t focus on current headlines – because they realize that they have time to ride out the downturns. |
● | Keep contributing. While you have no control over the investment markets, you can control how often and how much you contribute to your retirement account. Saving as much as possible and increasing your contributions regularly is one way retirement investors can help boost their retirement savings, regardless of the performance of the stock and bond markets. |
● | Invest continually.1 Financial professionals often advise their clients to stay in the market, regardless of short-term results. Here’s why: Those who can invest in all market conditions have the potential to be rewarded even during market downturns, when more favorable prices may enable them to accumulate larger positions. |
● | Monitor your asset allocation and diversify. Stocks, bonds, and short-term/money market investments are asset classes that tend to behave differently, depending upon the economic and market environment. These broad asset classes contain an even greater array of asset sub-categories (such as small-cap stocks, international stocks, and high-yield bonds). Most financial professionals agree that investors can take advantage of different opportunities in the market and reduce the risk of over-exposure to one or two poorly performing asset types by selecting a number of investments that represent a mix of asset classes and sub-categories. |
1 Systematic investing and asset allocation do not ensure a profit or protect against loss in a declining market. Systematic investing involves continuous investment in securities regardless of fluctuating price levels. Investors should consider their ability to continue investing through periods of low price levels.

Is this a good time to track your progress?
If you work with a financial professional, you may wish to consider checking in with him or her to help you determine if:
● | you are saving enough for retirement – and, if in retirement, you are withdrawing an appropriate amount each year, based on your personal circumstances; |
● | your retirement account is invested appropriately for all market conditions, based on your goals and objectives, as well as your investment time horizon; and |
● | you are taking steps to help reduce your longevity risk, which is the chance that you could “run out” of retirement savings during your lifetime. |
Get to where you want to be
At MassMutual, our goal is to help you build the future you want for yourself and your family. We want to help you with your retirement plans today, so you can feel more comfortable about tomorrow. That’s why we continue to encourage you to maintain perspective when it comes to retirement investing, regardless of any headline-making events. MassMutual’s view is that changing market conditions have the potential to reward patient investors. Thank you for your continued confidence and trust in MassMutual.
Sincerely,
Paul LaPiana

MassMutual Funds Annual Report – Economic and Market Overview (Unaudited) |
September 30, 2022
Continued market volatility challenges retirement investors
During the fiscal year ended September 30, 2022, U.S. stocks were down over 15%, with investors concerned that stimulus-fueled recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic was over and that domestic monetary policy had turned toward combating heightened inflation. Stocks in foreign developed markets and emerging markets also experienced significant losses in the fiscal year, hurt by elevated energy prices, a strengthening U.S. dollar, and concerns that consumer spending and corporate earnings growth would slow. U.S. bond investors experienced negative returns in the rising interest rate environment, fueled by aggressive interest rate hikes by the U.S. Federal Reserve Board (the “Fed”) that were aimed at reducing demand-driven inflationary pressures.
Market Highlights
● | For the reporting period from October 1, 2021 through September 30, 2022, U.S. stocks were down over 15%, in a market environment where the Fed aggressively raised interest rates in an effort to combat heightened inflation. |
● | In the fourth quarter of 2021, expectations for strong economic and earnings growth in 2022, bolstered by the possibility of a $2 trillion economic stimulus and social spending plan, allowed investors to look past sharp increases in COVID-19 Omicron variant cases and heightened inflationary pressures. |
● | In the first quarter of 2022, investors in both stocks and bonds were challenged by a sharp rise in energy prices after Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, a stalled domestic economic stimulus plan, and the Fed raising interest rates for the first time since 2018. |
● | The second quarter of 2022 was another difficult quarter, as Fed interest rate hikes, investor concerns over high inflation, and concern about the potential of an impending global recession dominated the narrative. |
● | The third quarter of 2022 was an extension of the difficult second quarter, with continued inflationary pressures, weakening economic data, and aggressive Fed interest rate hikes. |
● | Foreign stocks in developed markets and emerging markets also experienced losses in the fiscal year, against the backdrop of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine (and the resulting economic sanctions that kept energy prices elevated), the strengthening U.S. dollar, and threatened consumer spending and corporate earnings growth. |
● | U.S. bond investors experienced negative returns in the rising interest rate environment, fueled by an increase in short-term interest rates, heighted inflationary pressures, and the reversal of monetary and fiscal policy support. |
Market Environment
For the fiscal year beginning on October 1, 2021, global stock investors experienced significant losses. U.S. stocks fell sharply in the period in response, with the S&P 500 Index® (“S&P 500”)1 entering bear market territory after declining more than 20% from its previous highs. Investors sought safety from high inflation, rising interest rates, and the increasing possibility of a recession. Consumer sentiment fell sharply, down 17.2% in the period2, as high inflation – driven by rising energy, food, and housing costs – overwhelmed low unemployment and strong wage growth. As of August 2022, more Americans are borrowing to make ends meet in these inflationary times, resulting in consumer loan levels at record highs, having increased by 12.4% year-over-year3.
1 The S&P 500 Index measures the performance of 500 widely held stocks in the U.S. equity market. Standard and Poor’s chooses member companies for the index based on market size, liquidity, and industry group representation. Included are the stocks of industrial, financial, utility, and transportation companies. Since mid-1989, this composition has been more flexible and the number of issues in each sector has varied. It is market capitalization-weighted. The Index does not reflect any deduction for fees, expenses, or taxes and cannot be purchased directly by investors.

As a result, the broad market S&P 500 fell 15.47% for the period. The technology-heavy NASDAQ Composite Index4 performed even worse, dropping 26.25%. The more economically sensitive Dow Jones Industrial AverageSM5 was down 13.40%. During the reporting period, small-cap stocks underperformed their larger-cap peers, while value stocks outperformed their growth brethren. The communication services, consumer discretionary, and information technology sectors were all down by 20% or more. The energy sector was the strongest performer for the fiscal year, up 45.70%, aided by an 18% increase in the price of West Texas Intermediate (WTI) crude oil. The utilities sector also ended the period positively, gaining 5.58% for the period.
Developed international markets, as measured by the MSCI EAFE® Index6, trailed their domestic peers, ending the fiscal year down 25.13%. Emerging-market stocks, as measured by the MSCI Emerging Markets Index7, also fell sharply, ending down 28.11% for the period. Investors sold off developed international and emerging-market stocks on concerns that higher interest rates and commodity prices would impair consumer spending and corporate earnings growth.
Bond yields rose sharply during the fiscal year, with the 10-year U.S. Treasury bond yield rising from a low of 1.52% on October 1, 2021 to close the period at 3.83%. Rising yields generally produce falling bond prices; consequently, bond index returns suffered. The Bloomberg U.S. Aggregate Bond Index8 ended the period down 14.60%. Investment-grade corporate bonds fared even worse. The Bloomberg U.S. Corporate Bond Index9, which tracks investment-grade corporate bonds, ended the period with an 18.53% loss. The Bloomberg U.S. Corporate High-Yield Bond Index10 also ended in negative territory, declining 14.14% for the period.
4 The NASDAQ Composite Index measures the performance of all domestic and international based common type stocks listed on the NASDAQ Stock Market. It includes common stocks, ordinary shares, ADRs, shares of beneficial interest or limited partnership interests and tracking stocks. The index is market capitalization-weighted. The Index does not reflect any deduction for fees, expenses, or taxes and cannot be purchased directly by investors.
5 The Dow Jones Industrial Average Index measures the performance of stocks of 30 U.S. blue-chip companies covering all industries with the exception of transportation and utilities. It is price-weighted. The Index does not reflect any deduction for fees or expenses and cannot be purchased directly by investors.

It is free float-adjusted market-capitalization weighted. The Index does not reflect any deduction for fees or expenses and cannot be purchased directly by investors.
7 The MSCI Emerging Markets Index measures the performance of the large- and mid-cap segments of emerging market equity securities. It is free float-adjusted market-capitalization weighted. The Index does not reflect any deduction for fees or expenses and cannot be purchased directly by investors.
8 The Bloomberg U.S. Aggregate Bond Index measures the performance of investment grade, U.S. dollar-denominated, fixed-rate taxable bond market securities, including Treasuries, government-related and corporate securities, mortgage-backed securities (MBS) (agency fixed-rate and hybrid ARM pass-throughs), asset-backed securities (ABS), and commercial mortgage-backed securities (CMBS). It rolls up into other Bloomberg flagship indexes, such as the multi-currency Global Aggregate Index and the U.S. Universal Index, which includes high yield and emerging markets debt. The Index does not reflect any deduction for fees, expenses, or taxes and cannot be purchased directly by investors.
9 The Bloomberg U.S. Corporate Bond Index measures the performance of the investment grade, U.S. dollar-denominated, fixed-rate, taxable corporate bond market. It includes U.S. dollar-denominated securities publicly issued by U.S. and non-U.S. industrial, utility, and financial issuers that meet specified maturity, liquidity, and quality requirements. The Index does not reflect any deduction for fees, expenses, or taxes and cannot be purchased directly by investors.
10 The Bloomberg U.S. Corporate High-Yield Bond Index measures the performance of U.S. dollar-denominated, non-investment grade, fixed-rate, taxable corporate bonds, including corporate bonds, fixed-rate bullet, putable, and callable bonds, SEC Rule 144A securities, original issue zeros, pay-in-kind bonds, fixed-rate and fixed-to-floating capital securities.

MassMutual Total Return Bond Fund – Portfolio Manager Report (Unaudited) |
What is the investment approach of MassMutual Total Return Bond Fund, and who is the Fund’s subadviser?
The Fund seeks maximum total return, consistent with preservation of capital and prudent investment management, by investing, under normal circumstances, at least 80% of its net assets (plus the amount of any borrowings for investment purposes) in a diversified portfolio of investment grade fixed income securities (rated Baa3 or higher by Moody’s, BBB- or higher by Standard & Poor’s, BBB- or higher by Fitch, or A-2 by S&P, P-2 by Moody’s, or F-2 by Fitch for short-term debt obligations, or, if unrated, determined by the Fund’s subadviser to be of comparable quality). The Fund’s subadviser is Metropolitan West Asset Management, LLC (MetWest).
How did the Fund perform during the 12 months ended September 30, 2022?
The Fund’s Class I shares returned -15.97%, underperforming the -14.60% return of the Bloomberg U.S. Aggregate Bond Index (the “benchmark”), which measures the performance of investment grade, U.S. dollar-denominated, fixed-rate taxable bond market securities, including Treasuries, government-related and corporate securities, mortgage-backed securities (MBS) (agency fixed-rate and hybrid ARM pass-throughs), asset-backed securities (ABS), and commercial mortgage-backed securities (CMBS).
For a discussion on the economic and market environment during the 12-month period ended September 30, 2022, please see the Economic and Market Overview, beginning on page 3.
Subadviser discussion of factors that contributed to the Fund’s performance
For the fiscal year ended September 30, 2022, although the Fund began the year positioned defensively, Fund management extended the portfolio’s duration position in a disciplined fashion alongside the rise in Treasury yields. Ultimately, the Fund ended the period with a duration that was longer than the benchmark’s. This modestly weighed on returns, while further headwinds resulted from the curve-steepening bias that was maintained throughout the fiscal year. (Duration is a measure of a bond fund’s sensitivity to interest rates. The longer the duration, the greater the price impact on the bond or portfolio when interest rates rise or fall. The yield curve is a graph showing the term structure of interest rates by plotting the yields of all bonds of comparable quality with maturities ranging from the shortest – typically one month – to the longest – typically 30 years – available. The resulting curve shows whether short-term interest rates are higher or lower than long-term rates.)
Elsewhere, the Fund’s residential MBS exposure was a drag on performance, given the struggles faced by both agency- and non-agency-backed collateral during the year, in addition to volatility, increased costs of financing – and, in the agency MBS space, reduced Federal Reserve purchasing activity. (“Agency” refers to debt issued by U.S. federal government agencies or government-sponsored entities for financing purposes). The Fund’s small allocation to CMBS and ABS modestly reduced returns, as yield spreads in both sectors widened in sympathy with the broader market.
Turning to corporate securities, returns were decreased by the Fund’s emphasis on defensive sectors, including consumer non-cyclicals and communications, as they were among the poorer performers during the fiscal year. Nevertheless, the Fund’s relative underweight to overall corporate credit throughout the first half of the period benefited performance and helped to blunt the impact of the downdraft faced by corporates in early 2022. As market dislocations and price declines became more pronounced in the latter part of the fiscal year, the Fund expanded its risk budget, meaningfully increasing its corporate credit allocation in the process and ending the fiscal year overweight relative to the benchmark. These additions, made during times of yield premiums rising and asset prices falling, ultimately weighed on performance.
The Fund’s use of derivatives to manage duration and yield curve positioning had a minimal impact on performance. Derivatives are securities that derive their value from the performance of one or more other investments and take the form of a contract between two or more parties. Most derivatives are used for hedging, speculation, or both.
Subadviser outlook
MetWest notes that any attempt to understand the full economic fallout of a tightening cycle this aggressive against the competing crosswinds of a consumer still fairly flush with cash – and anxious to spend that money on services and experiences post-pandemic – is a nearly impossible task. In Fund management’s view, possibly clouding the outlook further will be the often overlooked, but impactful repercussions of quantitative tightening, which could take many more months to become apparent. Meanwhile, unlike in recessions past, as of the end of the fiscal year, there was no major economy well positioned to pull the
6

rest of the world along on its coattails of strong growth. In MetWest’s view, synchronized global tightening, combined with the lagged effects of policy, could mean that volatility will come in a generally declining market, with credit of all types weakening as the cumulative impact of these changes takes hold. As long as economic and monetary policy continues to shift, MetWest believes that the current period of volatility could persist for some time. On the positive side, however, Fund management notes that these market conditions create opportunities that can be exploited by disciplined active managers, potentially setting the stage for strong performance as the volatility ultimately subsides.

Generally accepted accounting principles require adjustments to be made to the net assets of the Fund at period end for financial reporting purposes only, and as such, the total return based on the unadjusted net asset value per share may differ from the total return reported in the financial highlights.
Performance results in the graph and table are shown both with and without the imposition of the maximum applicable sales charge (if applicable) and reflect the percentage change in net asset value, including reinvestment of dividends and capital gains distributions. Investors should note that the Fund is a professionally managed mutual fund, while the index or indexes shown above are unmanaged, cannot be purchased directly, and, with the exception of any peer group index, do not incur expenses.
Performance data quoted in the graph and table represents past performance; past performance is not predictive of future results. The investment return and principal value of shares of the Fund fluctuate, so your shares, when sold, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Current performance of the Fund may be lower or higher than the performance quoted. The performance shown does not reflect the deduction of taxes, if any, that a shareholder would pay on Fund distributions or the redemption of Fund shares.

MassMutual Strategic Bond Fund – Portfolio Manager Report (Unaudited) |
What is the investment approach of MassMutual Strategic Bond Fund, and who are the Fund’s subadvisers?
The Fund seeks a superior total rate of return by investing in fixed income instruments. Under normal circumstances, the Fund invests at least 80% of its net assets (plus the amount of any borrowings for investment purposes) in U.S. dollar-denominated fixed income securities and other debt instruments of domestic and foreign entities, including corporate bonds, securities issued or guaranteed as to principal or interest by the U.S. Government or its agencies or instrumentalities, mortgage-backed securities, and money market instruments. The Fund’s subadvisers are Western Asset Management Company, LLC (Western Asset) and its affiliate, Western Asset Management Company Limited (Western Asset Limited), which were responsible for approximately 59% of the Fund’s portfolio (Western Asset Limited manages the non-U.S. dollar denominated investments of the Fund); and Brandywine Global Investment Management, LLC (Brandywine Global), which was responsible for approximately 41% of the Fund’s portfolio, as of September 30, 2022.
How did the Fund perform during the 12 months ended September 30, 2022?
The Fund’s Class R5 shares returned -17.14%, underperforming the -14.60% return of the Bloomberg U.S. Aggregate Bond Index (the “benchmark”), which measures the performance of investment grade, U.S. dollar-denominated, fixed-rate taxable bond market securities, including Treasuries, government-related and corporate securities, mortgage-backed securities (MBS) (agency fixed-rate and hybrid ARM pass-throughs), asset-backed securities (ABS), and commercial mortgage-backed securities (CMBS).
For a discussion on the economic and market environment during the 12-month period ended September 30, 2022, please see the Economic and Market Overview, beginning on page 3.
Subadviser discussion of factors that contributed to the Fund’s performance
With respect to the Western Asset component of the Fund, in aggregate, their top-down macro strategies detracted from performance. For most of the reporting period, the Western Asset Fund component had more interest rate exposure (duration) than the benchmark, which significantly detracted from performance as interest rates rose considerably from the beginning to the end of the period. Duration is a measure of a bond fund’s sensitivity to interest rates. The longer the duration, the greater the price impact on the bond or portfolio when interest rates rise or fall. Over the period, the 10-year U.S. Treasury yield rose from 1.52% to 3.83%. During the fiscal year, the 5s-30s section of the curve, which compares 5-year rates to 30-year rates, ended the period inverted at -0.27%, versus 1.10% at the beginning of the period. Thus, the portfolio’s yield curve positioning, which was focused on an overweight to the back end of the curve, contributed to returns. (The yield curve is a graph showing the term structure of interest rates by plotting the yields of all bonds of comparable quality with maturities ranging from the shortest – typically one month – to the longest – typically 30 years – available. The resulting curve shows whether short-term interest rates are higher or lower than long-term rates.)
For the fiscal year ended September 30, 2022, the Western Asset Fund component’s exposures to non-U.S. developed markets negatively impacted performance, mainly due to currency positioning, as the U.S. dollar (USD) appreciated versus long currency positions. The portfolio’s emerging-markets exposures, which included both local currency and USD-denominated positions, also meaningfully detracted from results over the period, mainly due to the sell-off in Russian assets as a result of sanctions and the Ukraine invasion, but also as USD-denominated emerging-market bond spreads widened, though some local currency positions provided a partial offset. In terms of contributors, an underweight to agency MBS contributed, as spreads gradually widened during the period. (“Agency” refers to debt issued by U.S. federal government agencies or government-sponsored entities for financing purposes.) Finally, exposures to structured products – including non-agency residential mortgage-backed securities (RMBS), CMBS and ABS – positively contributed to performance due to selection, as spreads generally widened during the 12-month period. Finally, Western Asset used derivative instruments to manage its overall duration and yield curve exposure, overall interest rate sensitivity, and exposures to certain international bond markets – as well as to manage against anticipated changes in interest rates. Derivatives are securities that derive their value from the performance of one or more other investments and take the form of a contract between two or more parties. Derivatives are used for hedging, speculation, or both. Overall, the Fund component portfolio’s use of derivatives detracted from performance during the period.
For the Brandywine Global component of the Fund, an overweight allocation to long-dated U.S. Treasuries was the key detractor from performance on both a relative and absolute basis, as U.S. interest rates increased during the Fund’s fiscal year. Fund management materially increased Brandywine Global’s allocation to these securities in the spring of 2022, after yields initially
10
MassMutual Strategic Bond Fund – Portfolio Manager Report (Unaudited) (Continued) |
surged higher and macroeconomic concerns appeared. In Brandywine Global’s view, it is not atypical for the Fund component to underperform in the latter innings of a blow-off top in yields, like the current market environment. Brandywine Global believes that the Fund component’s overweight allocation to U.S. Treasuries remains a high-conviction trade. On a positive note, Brandywine Global’s underweight allocation to both investment-grade corporate credits and mortgage-backed securities proved beneficial during the fiscal year, as yields were rising and spreads were (marginally) widening over the period. Credit spreads represent the difference in yields between nearly identical bonds with comparable maturities but different quality ratings. From September 2021 through August 2022, the Fund component utilized derivatives to add duration to its portfolio. Derivatives are securities that derive their value from the performance of one or more other investments and take the form of a contract between two or more parties. Most derivatives are used for hedging, speculation, or both. Overall, the Fund component portfolio’s use of derivatives detracted from absolute performance during the period.
Subadviser outlook
In Western Asset’s view, the key to an improved tone and more stability in fixed income markets is a moderation in inflation. Western Asset’s base case is that supply chains will slowly begin to normalize. Fund management believes that this trend, combined with the Federal Reserve and other major central banks around the world tightening monetary policy (along with negative real incomes slowing consumption), has the potential to cause inflation to moderate. Western Asset anticipates that inflationary pressures could peak in the third quarter of 2022 and potentially decline into 2023. While global central banks are expected to raise interest rates further in the short term, Fund management believes that more aggressive action is already anticipated by the markets.
Brandywine Global expects market volatility to remain elevated against a backdrop of central bank tightening, sticky inflation, the war in Ukraine, and weakening economic data. At the end of the fiscal year, in Brandywine Global’s view, the U.S. economy was holding up relatively well, despite the recession in housing. Fund management believes that there is still the possibility of a “goldilocks” outcome if inflation retreats enough, with limited weakness in the labor market. But Brandywine Global believes that the odds of recession are growing, given the Fed’s haste to push interest rates higher.

MassMutual Diversified Value Fund – Portfolio Manager Report (Unaudited) |
What is the investment approach of MassMutual Diversified Value Fund, and who are the Fund’s subadvisers?
The Fund seeks to achieve long-term growth of capital and income by investing primarily in a diversified portfolio of equity securities of larger, well-established companies. The Fund invests primarily in stocks of companies that the subadvisers believe are undervalued in the marketplace. While the Fund does not limit its investments to issuers in a particular capitalization range, the subadvisers currently focus on securities of larger size companies. The Fund normally invests at least 80% of its net assets (plus the amount of any borrowings for investment purposes) in stocks, securities convertible into stocks, and other securities, such as warrants and stock rights, whose value is based on stock prices. The Fund’s subadvisers are T. Rowe Price Associates, Inc. (T. Rowe Price), which was responsible for approximately 36% of the Fund’s portfolio; and Brandywine Global Investment Management, LLC (Brandywine Global), which managed approximately 64% of the Fund’s portfolio, as of September 30, 2022.
How did the Fund perform during the 12 months ended September 30, 2022?
The Fund’s Class R5 shares returned -8.48%, outperforming the -11.36% return of the Russell 1000® Value Index (the “benchmark”), which measures the performance of the large-cap value segment of U.S. equity securities. It includes the Russell 1000 Index companies with lower price-to-book ratios and lower expected growth values. It is market-capitalization weighted.
For a discussion on the economic and market environment during the 12-month period ended September 30, 2022, please see the Economic and Market Overview, beginning on page 3.
Subadviser discussion of factors that contributed to the Fund’s performance
With respect to the Brandywine Global component of the Fund, the largest sector-related contribution to outperformance came from the health care sector. The Fund component benefited from an underweight allocation to the medical devices group, which underperformed, and strong returns from pharmaceuticals distributor McKesson and the biotech firm AbbVie. Within the industrial sector, allocations to defense contractors Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman, and General Dynamics contributed to the Fund’s performance during the period, as they performed well after the Russian invasion of Ukraine. Within the communication services sector, not owning entertainment company Disney, due to its unattractive valuation, and telecom giants AT&T and Verizon, due to poor price momentum, was a positive for the Fund component, as all three stocks lagged the market. The largest detractors from relative performance were Brandywine Global’s positions in large U.S. banks, including JP Morgan, Bank of America, and US Bank. In Brandywine Global’s experience, while these banks generally benefit from rising interest rates, the impact of a slowing economy on loan growth and potentially increased loan defaults more than offset any advantage that higher rates generally offer.
For the T. Rowe Price segment of the Fund, both sector allocation and security selection drove the Fund component’s outperformance. The financial sector was the top contributor for the period. There, Fund component holding Chubb continued to benefit from the rising property and casualty (P&C) pricing cycle. Over the one-year period, Chubb delivered earnings that exceeded consensus estimates, driven by a higher underwriting premium amid the longest P&C upcycle in history. Another Fund component holding, Qualcomm, and an underweight allocation to the information technology sector also contributed to relative performance. Shares of Qualcomm outperformed the information technology benchmark over the one-year period. Late in 2021, the company’s shares advanced, as company management raised guidance. Within the utilities sector, Fund component holding Sempra Energy, in tandem with an overweight allocation to the sector, further aided relative results. On the contrary, adverse security selection in the energy sector detracted from relative returns. Shares of TotalEnergies (a French multinational integrated energy and petroleum company) hampered relative performance over the period, as shares lagged the broader energy sector. During the first quarter of 2022, as Russia invaded Ukraine, shares of TotalEnergies were pressured as the company’s Russian assets and investments were quickly written down by the market. In addition, detrimental stock choices in the industrial and business services sector weighed on relative results for the fiscal year. The T. Rowe Price component of the Fund held warrants during the period, which had a negligible impact on performance. Derivatives are securities that derive their value from the performance of one or more other investments and take the form of a contract between two or more parties. Derivatives can be used for hedging, speculation, or both.

Subadviser outlook
As of the end of the Fund’s fiscal year, Brandywine Global observed that the investing world remained more volatile than usual, as measured by the VIX benchmark of stock variability. Although this index was down from its highs in 2008 and 2020, as of the end of the fiscal year, it remained above its typical level. Value investing outperformed over the last two years after an extended period of growth dominance. However, growth valuations as of the end of the fiscal year remained elevated compared to value stock valuations – as high as during the 2000 technology bubble – suggesting, in Brandywine Global’s view, the potential for more value performance gains. Regardless of the market environment, Brandywine Global continues to implement its process-oriented investment approach.
T. Rowe Price notes that as the market continues to focus on inflation, they recognize that the range of potential outcomes moving forward is abnormally wide. Their view is that, at current levels as of the end of the fiscal year, markets have generally priced in a considerable amount of bad information, and the domestic economy is potentially entering what could be the most widely anticipated economic slowdown and potential recession, on record. Despite this, Fund management notes that the magnitude of the slowdown is difficult to predict, as the lag in domestic monetary policy implementation and the impact on the U.S. economy leave investors and companies vulnerable to a misstep from the Federal Reserve. Amid this backdrop, Fund management plans to continue to build a portfolio that is balanced for a variety of market environments. Their view is that the market could be choppy moving forward, and they will continue to look for investment opportunities where the risk/reward ratio is particularly attractive. Ultimately, their focus will remain on names where, in Fund management’s view, there is considerable downside already priced in, there are secular winners that are reasonably priced, and there are companies that can help provide defense against an inflationary environment.

MassMutual Fundamental Value Fund – Portfolio Manager Report (Unaudited) |
What is the investment approach of MassMutual Fundamental Value Fund, and who are the Fund’s subadvisers?
The Fund seeks long-term total return by investing primarily in equity securities of issuers that the Fund’s subadvisers believe are undervalued. Under normal circumstances, the Fund invests at least 80% of its net assets (plus the amount of any borrowings for investment purposes) in equity securities. Although the Fund may invest in companies of any size, the Fund will tend to focus on companies with large market capitalizations (which the Fund’s subadvisers believe are generally above $1 billion). The Fund’s subadvisers are Boston Partners Global Investors, Inc. (Boston Partners), which managed approximately 50% of the Fund’s portfolio; and Barrow, Hanley, Mewhinney & Strauss, LLC (Barrow Hanley), which was responsible for approximately 50% of the Fund’s portfolio, as of September 30, 2022.
How did the Fund perform during the 12 months ended September 30, 2022?
The Fund’s Class R5 shares returned -7.73%, outperforming the -11.36% return of the Russell 1000® Value Index (the “benchmark”), which measures the performance of the large-cap value segment of U.S. equity securities. It includes the Russell 1000 Index companies with lower price-to-book ratios and lower expected growth values. It is market-capitalization weighted.
For a discussion on the economic and market environment during the 12-month period ended September 30, 2022, please see the Economic and Market Overview, beginning on page 3.
Subadviser discussion of factors that contributed to the Fund’s performance
For the fiscal year ended September 30, 2022, within the Boston Partners component of the Fund, the primary driver of performance was stock selection within the health care, consumer discretionary, and industrial sectors. In health care, health insurers Cigna and Centene were two Fund component holdings that outperformed due to strong earnings and guidance, and better-than-expected rate increases for government-sponsored insurance. In consumer discretionary, Fund component holding AutoZone continued to gain share with commercial customers, resulting in better-than-expected sales and earnings. Within the industrial sector, aerospace and defense companies General Dynamics and Howmet were two Fund component holdings that outperformed after Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. Fund component holdings within the materials and consumer staples sectors detracted from returns. In the materials sector, chemical companies Axalta and Dupont both struggled. Construction materials company CRH lagged, despite strong construction trends, as rising interest rates tempered investor sentiment. In consumer staples, US Foods detracted from relative performance, as food cost inflation and labor costs eroded the company’s margins. From a sector perspective, Boston Partners’ overweight allocation to information technology and its underweight allocation to utilities and consumer staples detracted from its relative performance.
Within the Barrow Hanley segment of the Fund, component holdings in the health care sector added to Barrow Hanley’s relative performance. Also contributing to their results was strong stock selection within, and underweight allocations to, the technology and financial sectors. Conversely, stock selection within the consumer staples, materials, and energy sectors detracted from the Fund component’s performance.
Subadviser outlook
Boston Partners plan to continue to maintain a focus on finding investments that not only have attractive valuation characteristics and solid business fundamentals, but also improving business momentum and catalysts to help drive stock prices higher. Boston Partners’ view is that the global economy has the potential to experience a steady cyclical recovery over the next few years. In their opinion, the starting point was exceptional at fiscal year-end 2022, since valuation spreads were at such extreme levels. They remain cautiously optimistic about the coming 12-month period and beyond.
Barrow Hanley notes that, while uncertainty surrounding the markets remains elevated, Barrow Hanley believes that the primary conditions needed for a sustained, impactful value run remain the same: rising interest rates, higher inflation, and reasonable economic growth. In Barrow Hanley’s view, although economic growth remains less certain, higher interest rates and inflation remains persistent as of the end of the fiscal year, when compared to the prior decade. While their opinion is that expectations are high for a recession in the coming year, there remain several areas of strength related to consumer and corporate spending that have the potential to mitigate some of the possible headwinds. Barrow Hanley remains focused on stock selection as the key determinant of its Fund component’s performance.

MM S&P 500® Index Fund – Portfolio Manager Report (Unaudited) |
What is the investment approach of MM S&P 500® Index Fund, and who is the Fund’s subadviser?
The Fund seeks to approximate as closely as practicable (before fees and expenses) the capitalization-weighted total rate of return of that portion of the U.S. market for publicly-traded common stocks composed of larger-capitalized companies. Under normal circumstances, the Fund invests at least 80% (and, typically, substantially all) of its net assets (plus the amount of any borrowings for investment purposes) in the equity securities of companies included within the S&P 500® Index* (the “Index”), in weightings that approximate the relative composition of the securities contained in the Index, and in Index futures contracts. The Fund’s subadviser is Northern Trust Investments, Inc. (NTI).

How did the Fund perform during the 12 months ended September 30, 2022?
The Fund’s Service Class shares returned -15.84%, underperforming the -15.47% return of the Index, which measures the performance of 500 widely held stocks in the U.S. equity market.
For a discussion on the economic and market environment during the 12-month period ended September 30, 2022, please see the Economic and Market Overview, beginning on page 3.
Subadviser discussion of factors that contributed to the Fund’s performance
Generally, the Fund’s underperformance versus the Index was mainly attributable to the impact of fees and expenses necessary for the management and operation of the Fund. The Index is not subject to fees or expenses and it is not possible to invest directly in the Index.
For the fiscal year ended September 30, 2022, U.S. large-cap equities underperformed their mid-cap counterparts, but outperformed small-cap equities. Global equities finished 2021 strong, despite higher inflation and rising short-term interest rates. Companies were largely able to pass on cost pressures, profit margins were durable, and earnings marched higher. In the first quarter of 2022, global equities were dominated by headlines surrounding high inflation and geopolitical unrest, which led to declines across developed and emerging markets. Continued high inflation, compounded by Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, led to a pullback in investor risk appetite. Headwinds for global financial markets continued in the second quarter, with negative returns in most major asset classes outside of cash. Elevated inflationary pressures led to increased investor expectations for monetary policy tightening throughout the second quarter, which in turn heightened investor concerns on the economic growth outlook.
The third quarter of 2022 was another challenging one for financial markets. Negative returns in most asset classes outside of cash, the inflation trajectory, and central bank tightening were once again top considerations for investors amid a difficult backdrop – including the continuing Russia-Ukraine war, energy price concerns in Europe, and China growth worries. Despite seeing double-digit gains by mid-August, U.S. equity markets ended with a loss for the third quarter, as investor hopes of a dovish Federal Reserve (the “Fed”) pivot evaporated following hawkish Fed leader rhetoric and more durable core inflation. Interest rates increased sharply in August and September, including a late-September rise stemming from U.K. financial stability concerns. Overall, the central banks’ focus on lowering inflation led to both the Fed and the European Central Bank raising their interest rates in the quarter by 1.50% and 1.25%, respectively – leaving the Bank of Japan as the only developed market central bank with a negative interest rate policy at the end of the Fund’s fiscal year.
The top-performing sectors of the Index during the reporting period were energy and utilities, returning 45.70% and 5.55%, respectively. Communication services and consumer discretionary were the worst-performing sectors for this period, with returns of -39.07% and -20.89%, respectively.

Subadviser outlook
NTI notes that economic growth has slowed as of the end of the fiscal year, after a strong rebound from the pandemic’s disruptions. In Fund management’s view, companies may look to shift their supply chains to mitigate exposures to inflation and begin prioritizing stability and sustainability over pure cost-effectiveness and profit maximization. NTI believes that, while these shifts could have the potential to benefit company stakeholders, they could also create uncertainty among shareholders – ultimately contributing to continued volatility within the markets.

MassMutual Equity Opportunities Fund – Portfolio Manager Report (Unaudited) |
What is the investment approach of MassMutual Equity Opportunities Fund, and who are the Fund’s subadvisers?
The Fund seeks growth of capital over the long-term by investing primarily in equity securities of U.S. companies that the Fund’s subadvisers believe are financially sound, valued conservatively by the market, and have improving prospects. Under normal circumstances, the Fund invests at least 80% of its net assets (plus the amount of any borrowings for investment purposes) in equity securities. The Fund’s subadvisers are T. Rowe Price Associates, Inc. (T. Rowe Price), which was responsible for approximately 27% of the Fund’s portfolio; and Wellington Management Company LLP (Wellington Management), which managed approximately 73% of the Fund’s portfolio, as of September 30, 2022.
How did the Fund perform during the 12 months ended September 30, 2022?
The Fund’s Class R5 shares returned -7.05%, significantly outperforming the -17.22% return of the Russell 1000® Index (the “benchmark”), which measures the performance of the large-cap segment of U.S. equity securities. It is a subset of the Russell 3000® Index and includes approximately 1000 of the largest securities based on a combination of their market cap and current index membership.
For a discussion on the economic and market environment during the 12-month period ended September 30, 2022, please see the Economic and Market Overview, beginning on page 3.
Subadviser discussion of factors that contributed to the Fund’s performance
Within the Wellington Management component of the Fund, strong stock selection drove outperformance, particularly within the industrial, financial, and information technology sectors. This was partially offset by stock selection within the materials and health care sectors. Sector allocation, a result of Wellington Management’s bottom-up stock selection process, also contributed to its strong relative performance. The Fund component’s lack of exposure to communication services, an overweight allocation to consumer staples, and an underweight to information technology contributed the most. This was partially offset by a lack of exposure to the energy and utilities sectors. From a Fund component holdings standpoint, top relative contributors included aerospace and defense technology company Northrop Grumman (industrials sector) and UnitedHealth Group (health care sector), a health care and insurance company. In the first three quarters of 2022, shares of Northrop Grumman rose on strength in the industry as the conflict in Ukraine has led to increased military spending. Shares of UnitedHealth Group rose throughout the fiscal year following the company’s announcement of third-calendar quarter results, 2021 guidance, and initial commentary around 2022 guidance – all of which came in slightly ahead of consensus. On the downside, Fund component holdings that were among the top relative detractors included athletic apparel company Nike (consumer discretionary sector) and not holding technology giant Apple (information technology sector). Shares of Nike fell during the period, as China lockdowns continued to weigh on sales. Shares of benchmark constituent Apple were down slightly over the period. However, the company reported strong earnings for the second and third fiscal quarters, beating consensus estimates, as iPhone sales set all-time revenue records.
For the T. Rowe Price segment of the Fund, both sector allocation and security selection drove the Fund component’s outperformance. The financial sector was the top contributor for the period. There, Fund component holding Chubb continued to benefit from the rising property and casualty (P&C) pricing cycle. Over the one-year period, Chubb delivered earnings that exceeded consensus estimates, driven by higher underwriting premiums amid the longest P&C upcycle in history. Another Fund component holding, Qualcomm, and an underweight allocation to the information technology sector also contributed to relative performance. Shares of Qualcomm outperformed the information technology benchmark over the one-year period. Late in 2021, the company’s shares advanced, as management raised guidance. Within the utilities sector, Fund component holding Sempra Energy, along with an overweight allocation to the sector, further aided relative results. On the other hand, adverse security selection in the energy sector detracted from relative returns. Shares of TotalEnergies (a French multinational integrated energy and petroleum company) hampered relative performance over the period, as shares lagged the broader energy sector. During the first quarter of 2022, as Russia invaded Ukraine, shares of TotalEnergies were pressured as the company’s Russian assets and investments were quickly written down by the market. Finally, detrimental stock choices in the industrial and business services sector also weighed on T. Rowe Price’s relative results for the fiscal year.

Subadviser outlook
Wellington Management believes strongly in the power of economics and markets. In their view, their current investment posture is well suited for today’s challenging environment. At the end of the reporting period, the Wellington Management Fund component held its largest overweight allocations to the consumer staples and health care sectors, and its most significantly underweight allocation to the information technology sector.
T. Rowe Price believes that many economic signals that have been accurate recession warnings in the past were, at the close of the fiscal year, indicating a likely recession. Among them: global manufacturing activity fell fast; stock market returns tumbled; and the inverted Treasury yield curve was showing that long-term growth and inflation expectations were waning as the Federal Reserve raised short-term interest rates. (The yield curve is a graph showing the term structure of interest rates by plotting the yields of all bonds of comparable quality with maturities ranging from the shortest – typically one month – to the longest – typically 30 years – available. The resulting curve shows whether short-term interest rates are higher or lower than long-term rates.) In Fund management’s view, however, if a recession is coming, it could be an unusual one. Over the last few months, the economy has created about two to three times the number of jobs as compared with the pre-pandemic average. As of the end of the fiscal year, economists were struggling with historical comparisons because the United States has never had such an extraordinary level of job openings with unemployment this low (3.7% in August 2022) – in T. Rowe Price’s opinion, this is an example of a pandemic-related distortion. Fund management believes, on the other hand, that several other pre-recession signals were, at fiscal year-end, mitigating the likelihood of a recession: U.S. manufacturing activity (as measured by the Purchasing Managers’ Index), earnings surprises, nominal consumption growth, and leverage, while trending negative, were not near historical pre-recession levels.

MassMutual Fundamental Growth Fund – Portfolio Manager Report (Unaudited) |
What is the investment approach of MassMutual Fundamental Growth Fund, and who are the Fund’s subadvisers?
The Fund seeks long-term growth of capital by investing primarily in domestic equity securities that the Fund’s subadvisers believe offer the potential for long-term growth. While the Fund may invest in issuers of any size, the Fund currently focuses on securities of mid-capitalization companies. The Fund’s subadvisers are Westfield Capital Management Company, L.P. (Westfield), which was responsible for approximately 48% of the Fund’s portfolio; and Wellington Management Company LLP (Wellington Management), which managed approximately 52% of the Fund’s portfolio, as of September 30, 2022.
How did the Fund perform during the 12 months ended September 30, 2022?
The Fund’s Class R5 shares returned -31.94%, underperforming the -29.50% return of the Russell Midcap® Growth Index (the “benchmark”), which measures the performance of the mid-cap growth segment of the U.S. equity universe. It includes Russell Midcap Index companies with higher price-to-book ratios and higher forecasted growth values. It is market-capitalization weighted.
For a discussion on the economic and market environment during the 12-month period ended September 30, 2022, please see the Economic and Market Overview, beginning on page 3.
Subadviser discussion of factors that contributed to the Fund’s performance
In the Wellington Management component of the Fund, security selection was the most notable driver of relative performance for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2022. Weak security selection within the information technology, consumer staples, and industrial sectors detracted from relative returns, while favorable stock choices within communication services and consumer discretionary partially offset the relative weakness. Sector allocation, a residual of Wellington Management’s bottom-up stock selection process, also weighed on performance, driven by an overweight allocation to communication services and an underweight allocation to energy. With respect to specific Fund component holdings, top detractors from relative returns included Align Technology (health care sector) and Match Group (communication services sector). Align Technology, a medical device company focused on dentistry and orthodontics, experienced a share price decline after management released results citing both revenue and adjusted earnings had missed estimates for the first quarter of 2022. Invisalign case shipments were lower than expected, partially due to the impact of COVID-19 on dental visits worldwide. Shares of Match Group, a provider of online dating services and applications, struggled during this period as its core property, Tinder, saw a slowdown in engagement and user growth. Turning to the positive, Fund component holdings that were top contributors to relative performance during the period included Gartner (information technology sector) and Wingstop, Inc. (consumer discretionary sector). The share price of Gartner, an IT research and advisory services company, increased after the company reported stronger-than-expected second-fiscal quarter earnings. Wingstop is a multinational restaurant chain specializing in chicken wings. Its shares fared better than the benchmark during the period, as the company strongly rebounded in July after management released better-than-expected same-store sales results against a challenging macro backdrop.
Within the Westfield component of the Fund, Fund component holdings in the information technology sector proved to be the top detractors from relative results over the period. While some of Westfield’s best-performing holdings were in this sector, the underperformance was primarily driven by Westfield’s software, payments, and IT services holdings. Lightspeed Commerce, a cloud-based point-of-sale software vendor for retailers and restaurants, was the largest source of relative weakness within the Fund component’s holdings in the information technology sector. Fund component holdings in the health care sector also detracted from relative performance over the period, as Westfield’s biotechnology and health care equipment & services holdings drove the majority of the underperformance. Commercial oncology company Seagen, Inc. was the largest detractor from relative results during the period. Turning to the positive, consumer discretionary was a strong relative performer during the fiscal year. With respect to Fund component holdings, Ulta Beauty, Inc., a beauty products retailer, was the top contributing name over the period, as the company benefited from strong execution and recovering demand for beauty products as consumer behaviors normalized, with people returning to work, dining out, and traveling. Fund component holdings in the financial sector also contributed to relative performance. Specifically, LPL Financial Holdings, a provider of integrated brokerage and investment advisory services, was the top contributing Fund component holding within the group over the period. Communication services also contributed to performance. The outperformance was driven by strong stock selection within entertainment and media: global entertainment producer Live Nation Entertainment, Inc. was the top contributing name within the sector. The company experienced strong demand, as customers demonstrated an increased willingness to see live shows following the pandemic.

MassMutual Fundamental Growth Fund – Portfolio Manager Report (Unaudited) (Continued) |
Subadviser outlook
Looking ahead, Wellington Management expects an increasingly challenging macro backdrop over the near term, given the Federal Reserve’s (the “Fed”) resolve to tame inflation at a cost of lower growth. However, in Wellington Management’s observation, the resilience of the labor market and early signs of supply chain bottlenecks easing as of the end of the Fund’s fiscal year give Fund management confidence in the growth outlook beyond the immediate future. Within Wellington Management’s opportunity set, Fund management expects to continue to steer away from expensive benchmark constituents based on its valuation discipline and instead, to lean into secular growers with high returns on invested capital trading at reasonable prices. Fund management also expects to be increasingly focused on identifying higher-quality businesses that could be more resilient during a down cycle, while having the potential to outperform if the environment stabilizes and turns more favorable.
At the end of the period, the Westfield component’s portfolio was most overweight the communication services, health care, and financial sectors, and most underweight the industrials, materials, and energy sectors. Looking ahead, Westfield believes that the likelihood of a U.S. recession seems to be all but inevitable; in Westfield’s view, the pivotal question is whether the Fed will pause or pivot their hawkish stance – in light of slowing economic activity, moderating inflation, and global market instability. At fiscal year-end, in Westfield’s observation, consumer prices for some things (like gasoline) had moderated; however, Westfield believes consumer prices for other things (like shelter) will likely remain high for some time. Westfield expects a more gradual decline in inflation than many other observers in the market are currently forecasting. Turning to the earnings outlook, as of the Fund’s fiscal year end, Westfield believes that the environment remains challenging, with market estimates still likely too high among forecasters. Slowing spending and job growth, combined with growing margin pressures and building inventories, is, in Westfield’s view, a recipe for an economic slowdown. In Westfield’s opinion, when these factors are combined with rising funding costs due to interest rates, it is difficult to envision an outcome that does not propel the economy into a recession.

MassMutual Blue Chip Growth Fund – Portfolio Manager Report (Unaudited) |
What is the investment approach of MassMutual Blue Chip Growth Fund, and who are the Fund’s subadvisers?
The Fund seeks growth of capital over the long term by investing, under normal circumstances, at least 80% of its net assets (plus the amount of any borrowings for investment purposes) in the common stocks of large- and medium-sized blue chip growth companies. The Fund’s subadvisers currently define blue chip growth companies to mean firms that, in their view, are well-established in their industries and have the potential for above-average earnings growth. The Fund’s subadvisers are T. Rowe Price Associates, Inc. (T. Rowe Price), which was responsible for approximately 53% of the Fund’s portfolio; and Loomis, Sayles & Company, L.P. (Loomis Sayles), which managed approximately 47% of the Fund’s portfolio, as of September 30, 2022.
How did the Fund perform during the 12 months ended September 30, 2022?
The Fund’s Class R5 shares returned -32.04%, significantly underperforming the -22.59% return of the Russell 1000® Growth Index (the “benchmark”), which measures the performance of the large-cap growth segment of U.S. equity securities. It includes the Russell 1000 Index companies with higher price-to-book ratios and higher forecasted growth values. It is market-capitalization weighted. The Fund also significantly underperformed the -15.47% return of the S&P 500® Index, which measures the performance of 500 widely held stocks in the U.S. equity market.
For a discussion on the economic and market environment during the 12-month period ended September 30, 2022, please see the Economic and Market Overview, beginning on page 3.
Subadviser discussion of factors that contributed to the Fund’s performance
For the T. Rowe Price component of the Fund, less-than-favorable security selection and sector allocation drove the Fund component’s relative underperformance. Fund component holdings in the communication services, information technology, and consumer discretionary sectors detracted the most, while holdings in the health care and financial sectors contributed the most to relative returns. With respect to specific Fund component holdings, within the information technology sector, shares of technology giant Apple declined slightly, although outperforming the sector. The Fund component’s underweight allocation to the information technology sector also detracted from relative returns. In the consumer discretionary sector, online used car retailer Carvana traded lower amid a challenging backdrop that included supply constraints and affordability concerns for consumers. Turning to the positive, Fund component holding UnitedHealth Group in the health care sector held up relatively well due to better-than-expected cost trends as utilization returned to normal and contributed to Fund performance.
Within the Loomis Sayles component of the Fund, stock selection in the information technology, industrial, consumer discretionary, and consumer staples sectors – along with the Fund component’s allocations to the communication services, consumer staples, and information technology sectors – detracted from relative performance. Fund component holdings, Meta Platforms and Boeing were the greatest detractors from performance. Meta Platforms operates online social networking platforms, including Facebook, Messenger, WhatsApp, and Instagram, which allow people to connect, share, and interact with friends and communities. The company’s shares declined substantially following its fourth-quarter financial report in early February. Operating expenses were greater than expectations and the company issued guidance for the first quarter of 2022 that was well below expectations. Founded in 1916, Boeing is a global leader in the commercial and defense aerospace industries. Along with Airbus, Boeing is part of a global duopoly that generally accounts for almost all commercial planes sold with more than 125 seats – typically the largest market segment. Boeing’s financial results during the period were mixed and largely below expectations. On the positive side, stock selection in the health care, communication services, and financial sectors, along with the Fund component’s allocations to the health care, industrial, consumer discretionary, and energy sectors, contributed positively to relative performance. With respect to Fund component holdings, Vertex Pharmaceuticals and Schlumberger were the top contributors to performance. Vertex Pharmaceuticals is a leader in creating therapies for patients suffering from cystic fibrosis (CF). Vertex reported financial results during the period that reflected the continued penetration of TRIKAFTA®, its latest and most efficacious CF therapy. Although Fund management exited its position in Schlumberger in March 2022, since 2020, the company was among the Fund component’s highest-returning securities. Schlumberger is a leading global supplier of technology, equipment, integrated project management, and information solutions to the global oil and gas exploration and production industry.

Subadviser outlook
T. Rowe Price believes that many economic signals that have been accurate recession warnings in the past were, at the close of the fiscal year, indicating a likely recession. Among them: global manufacturing activity fell fast; stock market returns tumbled; and the inverted Treasury yield curve was showing that long-term growth and inflation expectations were waning as the Federal Reserve raised short-term interest rates. (The yield curve is a graph showing the term structure of interest rates by plotting the yields of all bonds of comparable quality with maturities ranging from the shortest – typically one month – to the longest – typically 30 years – available. The resulting curve shows whether short-term interest rates are higher or lower than long-term rates.) In Fund management’s view, however, if a recession is coming, it could be an unusual one. Over the last few months, the economy has created about two to three times the number of jobs as compared with the pre-pandemic average. As of the end of the fiscal year, economists were struggling with historical comparisons because the United States had never had such an extraordinary level of job openings with unemployment this low (3.7% in August 2022) – in T. Rowe Price’s opinion, this is an example of a pandemic-related distortion. Fund management believes, on the other hand, that several other pre-recession signals were, at fiscal year-end, mitigating the likelihood of a recession: U.S. manufacturing activity (as measured by the Purchasing Managers’ Index), earnings surprises, nominal consumption growth, and leverage, while trending negative, were not near historical pre-recession levels.
The Loomis Sayles investment process is generally characterized by bottom-up, fundamental research and a long-term investment time horizon. The nature of the process typically leads to a lower turnover portfolio, where sector positioning is the result of stock selection. At the end of the fiscal year, the Loomis Sayles Fund component held overweight allocations to the communication services, health care, industrial, and financial sectors – and underweight allocations to the information technology, consumer staples, and consumer discretionary sectors. As of September 30, 2022, Loomis Sayles held no positions in the real estate, energy, materials, or utilities sectors.

# Benchmark
Generally accepted accounting principles require adjustments to be made to the net assets of the Fund at period end for financial reporting purposes only, and as such, the total return based on the unadjusted net asset value per share may differ from the total return reported in the financial highlights.
Performance results in the graph and table are shown both with and without the imposition of the maximum applicable sales charge (if applicable) and reflect the percentage change in net asset value, including reinvestment of dividends and capital gains distributions. Investors should note that the Fund is a professionally managed mutual fund, while the index or indexes shown above are unmanaged, cannot be purchased directly, and, with the exception of any peer group index, do not incur expenses.
Performance data quoted in the graph and table represents past performance; past performance is not predictive of future results. The investment return and principal value of shares of the Fund fluctuate, so your shares, when sold, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Current performance of the Fund may be lower or higher than the performance quoted. The performance shown does not reflect the deduction of taxes, if any, that a shareholder would pay on Fund distributions or the redemption of Fund shares.

Investors should read the Fund’s prospectus with regard to the Fund’s investment objectives, risks, and charges and expenses in conjunction with these financial statements. Employee retirement benefit plans that invest plan assets in the Separate Investment Accounts (SIAs) may be subject to certain charges as set forth in their respective Plan Documents.

MassMutual Growth Opportunities Fund – Portfolio Manager Report (Unaudited) |
What is the investment approach of MassMutual Growth Opportunities Fund, and who are the Fund’s subadvisers?
The Fund seeks long-term capital appreciation by investing primarily in equity securities of U.S. companies that the Fund’s subadvisers believe offer the potential for long-term growth. Under normal market conditions, the Fund invests at least 80% of its net assets (plus the amount of any borrowings for investment purposes) in equity securities. The Fund’s subadvisers are Sands Capital Management, LLC (Sands Capital), which managed approximately 50% of the Fund’s portfolio; and Jackson Square Partners, LLC (Jackson Square), which was responsible for approximately 50% of the Fund’s portfolio, as of September 30, 2022.
How did the Fund perform during the 12 months ended September 30, 2022?
The Fund’s Class R5 shares returned -47.21%, significantly underperforming the -22.59% return of the Russell 1000® Growth Index (the “benchmark”), which measures the performance of the large-cap growth segment of U.S. equity securities. It includes the Russell 1000 Index companies with higher price-to-book ratios and higher forecasted growth values. It is market-capitalization weighted.
For a discussion on the economic and market environment during the 12-month period ended September 30, 2022, please see the Economic and Market Overview, beginning on page 3.
Subadviser discussion of factors that contributed to the Fund’s performance
For the fiscal year ended September 30, 2022, the Sands Capital component of the Fund primarily suffered from less-than-favorable security selection. Fund component holdings that were the largest individual detractors from performance, relative to the benchmark, were Sea, a Southeast Asia internet-based provider of ecommerce and digital financial services; Block, a digital financial services pioneer; Match Group, a leader in online dating applications; Shopify, a leading global ecommerce platform enabling the next generation of retail; and Twilio, a leading software-enabled communications platform. On the other hand, the Fund component holdings that drove Sands Capital’s performance during the fiscal year included Sarepta Therapeutics, a developer of therapies for rare neuromuscular diseases; CoStar Group, a provider of data, analytics, and online marketplaces to the U.S. commercial real estate industry; Zillow, a leading digital-services provider for the real estate industry; Datadog, a provider of key monitoring and observability capabilities to support modern cloud infrastructure; and Zoetis, a global leader in the development, manufacturing, and commercialization of animal-health medicines for livestock and companion animals.
Within the Jackson Square component of the Fund, disruptors such as Fund component holding Twilio Inc., a cloud communications platform, were a source of underperformance during the period. These names faced macro headwinds from rising interest rates. Additionally, disruptors experienced a growth rotation during the fiscal year that saw the subset generally trade in a highly correlated fashion, regardless of underlying fundamentals and despite these stocks having different business models, end markets, and growth drivers. Fund component holdings in the health care sector also detracted from performance. Within that market segment, Fund component holdings such as 10X Genomics, a provider of instruments and consumables for genomic sequencing of single cells, and Align Technology, a global leader in clear teeth aligners for treating malocclusion, detracted from performance. More defensive holdings such as Waste Management Inc., a provider of waste management and recycling services, and Canadian Pacific Railway Limited, a Class 1 railway spanning from Canada to Mexico, benefited from the market rotation during the period and contributed to performance.
Subadviser outlook
In Sands Capital’s view, the past 12 months represent the most challenging period of relative performance in its Fund component’s history. Nevertheless, in their view, as of the end of the fiscal year, the poor sentiment in equity markets conflicted with recent earnings results and the favorable long-term outlook of the Fund component’s holdings. Sands Capital believes that this potentially presents an opportunity. They believe that an increasingly challenging macroeconomic environment could enable their Fund component holdings to improve their competitive positions.
Jackson Square expects inflation and interest rates to continue to drive market volatility. Jackson Square expects to pay particular attention to certain market characteristics, including 1) compressing consumer spending, particularly on the lower end of the income spectrum, with a continuation of the trend shifting from goods to services; 2) slowing business investment; and 3) softening labor markets. They believe company fundamentals, quality, and resiliency will become increasingly important moving forward.

MassMutual Mid Cap Value Fund – Portfolio Manager Report (Unaudited) |
What is the investment approach of MassMutual Mid Cap Value Fund, and who are the Fund’s subadvisers?
The Fund seeks growth of capital over the long-term by investing primarily in equity securities of mid-capitalization companies that the Fund’s subadvisers believe are undervalued. Under normal circumstances, the Fund invests at least 80% of its net assets (plus the amount of any borrowings for investment purposes) in the stocks of mid-cap companies. The Fund’s subadvisers are American Century Investment Management, Inc. (American Century), which managed approximately 35% of the Fund’s portfolio; PanAgora Asset Management, Inc. (PanAgora), which oversaw approximately 30% of the Fund’s portfolio; and Thompson, Siegel & Walmsley LLC (TSW), which was responsible for approximately 35% of the Fund’s portfolio, as of September 30, 2022.
How did the Fund perform during the 12 months ended September 30, 2022?
The Fund’s Class R5 shares returned -9.51%, outperforming the -13.56% return of the Russell Midcap® Value Index (the “benchmark”), which measures the performance of the mid-cap value segment of the U.S. equity universe. It includes Russell Midcap Index companies with lower price-to-book ratios and lower forecasted growth values. It is market-capitalization weighted.
For a discussion on the economic and market environment during the 12-month period ended September 30, 2022, please see the Economic and Market Overview, beginning on page 3.
Subadviser discussion of factors that contributed to the Fund’s performance
For the fiscal year ended September 30, 2022, within the American Century component of the Fund, security selection in the consumer discretionary sector (and the multiline retail industry in particular) supported the Fund component’s performance, relative to the benchmark. Within that sector, discount retailer Dollar Tree was a top performer. Security selection in the financial sector also boosted relative results: Reinsurance Group of America and The Allstate Corp. were two Fund component holdings that contributed to returns. Conversely, security selection in the materials sector weighed on performance. In addition, not holding select benchmark names in the chemicals industry detracted from the Fund component’s relative performance. American Century generally buys foreign exchange forward hedge contracts to offset the inherent currency risks of holding foreign securities. Exposure to derivatives did add somewhat to performance during the fiscal year due to currency volatility. Derivatives are securities that derive their value from the performance of one or more other investments and take the form of a contract between two or more parties. Derivatives can be used for hedging, speculation, or both.
Within the TSW segment of the Fund, the primary drivers of performance were Fund component holdings within the consumer discretionary, financial, and energy sectors. Within consumer discretionary, Dollar Tree, Inc., an operator of discount value stores, and LKQ Corp., a leading distributor of automotive aftermarket parts, were top contributors. In the financial sector, an overweight allocation to the insurance sector, relative to the benchmark, along with positive stock selection across the industry contributed to returns. Alleghany Corp., a primary insurer and reinsurer, was the Fund component’s top performing holding for the fiscal year. Arch Capital Group, a provider of property and casualty insurance and reinsurance, also contributed to the Fund’s performance. Within the energy sector, an overweight allocation and favorable stock selection contributed to relative returns. Fund component holdings within the telecommunications and basic materials sectors detracted from relative performance. In telecommunications, Liberty Broadband Corp. and Dish Network Corp. were the primary detractors. Within basic materials, an underweight allocation and Fund component holding Cleveland-Cliffs were the primary detractors.
For the Fund’s PanAgora component, strong stock selection within the health care sector was the primary driver of performance for the period. The top contributor was an overweight position in the strong-performing McKesson Corp., an American company that is a distributor of pharmaceuticals and a provider of health information technology, medical supplies, and care management tools. The company’s share price advanced over 64% during the fiscal year. Materials was the second top sector contributor for the period. There, PanAgora’s overweight position in CF Industries Holdings Inc., a North American manufacturer and distributor of agricultural fertilizers, benefited the Fund component, as that holding advanced 57% for the period. The top detractor for the period was the consumer discretionary sector, where stocks generally suffered due to supply chain issues. The largest hindrance within the sector was PanAgora’s overweight position in Garmin Ltd., which provides navigation, communications, and information devices. Its share price declined over 46% during the reporting period.

Subadviser outlook
American Century plans to remain disciplined in these uncertain times. They expect market volatility to linger as investors navigate a complex environment of high inflation, rising interest rates, and economic uncertainty. In addition, in American Century’s view, the ongoing Russia-Ukraine conflict has complicated an already-tense geopolitical backdrop. American Century plans to continue monitoring the evolving situation and to take advantage of favorable valuations that may arise in the face of continued volatility.
In TSW’s view, sentiment in the market continues to be bearish, driven primarily by ongoing recessionary concerns. TSW believes that factors contributing to pessimistic market outlook include the ongoing war between Russia and Ukraine, continued growth headwinds in China and other parts of the world, overall inflationary pressures, and more stressed financial markets. Nevertheless, TSW believes that mixed signals potentially point to improvements in specific aspects of the global supply chain – and even signs of inflationary pressures potentially easing for specific goods and services. In TSW’s observation as of the end of the fiscal quarter, the focus continued to be on central banks and their ability to dampen inflation without causing a hard landing. TSW ultimately expects overall uncertainty and volatility to remain elevated.
For PanAgora, their focus on company fundamentals plays a critical role during periods of market turbulence. They believe that their preference for companies that are profitable, well managed, and competitive in their industry will allow their Fund component to have the potential to prevail in periods of extreme market stress. In their ongoing search for investment opportunities, they research new data sources in an effort to find those that are undiscovered by competitors.

MassMutual Small Cap Value Equity Fund – Portfolio Manager Report (Unaudited) |
What is the investment approach of MassMutual Small Cap Value Equity Fund, and who are the Fund’s subadvisers?
The Fund seeks to maximize total return through investment primarily in small capitalization equity securities that the Fund’s subadvisers believe are undervalued. Under normal circumstances, the Fund invests at least 80% of its net assets (plus the amount of any borrowings for investment purposes) in equity securities of companies whose market capitalizations at the time of purchase are within the market capitalization range of companies included in the Russell 2000® Index or the S&P SmallCap 600 Index. The Fund’s subadvisers are Wellington Management Company LLP (Wellington Management), which managed approximately 56% of the Fund’s portfolio; and Barrow, Hanley, Mewhinney & Strauss, LLC (Barrow Hanley), which was responsible for approximately 44% of the Fund’s portfolio, as of September 30, 2022.
How did the Fund perform during the 12 months ended September 30, 2022?
The Fund’s Class R5 shares returned -13.61%, outperforming the -17.69% return of the Russell 2000 Value Index (the “benchmark”), which measures the performance of the small-cap value segment of the U.S. equity universe. It includes those Russell 2000 Index companies with lower price-to-book ratios and lower forecasted growth values. It is market-capitalization weighted.
For a discussion on the economic and market environment during the 12-month period ended September 30, 2022, please see the Economic and Market Overview, beginning on page 3.
Subadviser discussion of factors that contributed to the Fund’s performance
In the Wellington Management segment of the Fund, strong security selection in the health care, consumer discretionary, and information technology sectors was the primary driver of the Fund component’s outperformance of the benchmark. This was partially offset by weaker stock selection in the consumer staples, materials, and real estate sectors. Sector allocation, a residual of Wellington Management’s bottom-up stock selection process, detracted from relative performance. An underweight allocation to the energy sector detracted but was partially offset by an underweight allocation to the communication services sector and an overweight allocation to the materials sector. With respect to specific Fund component holdings, among the top relative contributors for the period were Huron Consulting (industrials sector) and Haemonetics (health care sector). Shares of Huron Consulting, a consulting company with large practices focused on health care and education, rose during the period due to improving fundamentals and management raising the company’s 2022 guidance. Shares of Haemonetics – a global health care company that engages in the development and distribution of hematology products and services – rose, as management reported strong earnings results over the last several quarters. Among the top relative detractors for the period were Spectrum Brands Holdings (consumer staples sector) and Tyman (industrials sector). Shares of Spectrum Brands Holdings, a consumer products and home essentials company, declined on weaker retail sales and profits – and the risk that the sale of the company’s Home & Hardware division to Assa Abloy will not be allowed to proceed. Shares of Tyman, a manufacturer of door and window components for the residential and commercial construction industry, were weak due to temporary supply chain constraints and concerns about future North American housing construction.
Within the Barrow Hanley component of the Fund, both an overweight allocation to the materials sector, and favorable stock selection within that market segment, were particularly notable. With respect to specific Fund component holdings, specialty materials producer ATI, Inc. (previously Allegheny Technologies Incorporated), a holding since 2016, had the greatest attribution of any single holding, returning more than 59% over the past 12 months. During the reporting period, two other Fund component holdings with significantly positive attributions, Cornerstone Building Brands Inc. and Rogers Corporation (a specialty engineered materials company), were purchased at significant premiums to their share prices. On the downside, Fund component holdings in economically sensitive sectors – such as consumer discretionary, industrial, information technology, and materials (which the Barrow Hanley component of the Fund typically has heavy exposure to due to their higher longer-term return potential) – detracted from the Fund component’s performance during the fiscal year.
Subadviser outlook
Wellington Management’s investment approach emphasizes individual stock selection; sector weights are a residual of their bottom-up investment process. However, Fund management does regularly consider diversification across economic sectors and industries, and continually monitors portfolio risk. Based on their three- to five-year time horizon, Wellington Management believes they will be able to continue to find attractively valued investment opportunities created by the inefficiencies frequently

found among small- and mid-cap companies. At the end of the fiscal year, the Wellington Management Fund component had its largest overweight allocations to the materials, information technology, and consumer discretionary sectors. The Fund component was most significantly underweight in the health care, real estate, and energy sectors at fiscal year-end.
Barrow Hanley notes that, as a matter of policy, they do not forecast absolute returns. Instead, regardless of market conditions, they attempt to provide for maximum possible relative returns. Consistent with this objective, Barrow Hanley believes that the market’s desire for certainty and the “company of the crowd” will tend to provide a high level of individual stock-specific opportunity for longer-term, lower-risk investing. Barrow Hanley believes that, when this occurs, those with the discipline to remain apart from the crowd and seek out unpopular opportunities could benefit disproportionately.

MassMutual Small Company Value Fund – Portfolio Manager Report (Unaudited) |
What is the investment approach of MassMutual Small Company Value Fund, and who are the Fund’s subadvisers?
The Fund seeks to achieve long-term growth of capital by investing primarily in a diversified portfolio of equity securities of smaller companies that the Fund’s subadvisers consider to be undervalued. Under normal circumstances, the Fund invests at least 80% of its net assets (plus the amount of any borrowings for investment purposes) in the securities of companies whose market capitalizations at the time of purchase are within the market capitalization range of companies included in the Russell 2000® Index or the S&P SmallCap 600 Index. The Fund’s subadvisers are AllianceBernstein L.P. (AllianceBernstein), which managed approximately 68% of the Fund’s portfolio; and American Century Investment Management, Inc. (American Century), which was responsible for approximately 32% of the Fund’s portfolio, as of September 30, 2022.
How did the Fund perform during the 12 months ended September 30, 2022?
The Fund’s Class R5 shares returned -19.35%, underperforming the -17.69% return of the Russell 2000 Value Index (the “benchmark”), which measures the performance of the small-cap value segment of the U.S. equity universe. It includes those Russell 2000 Index companies with lower price-to-book ratios and lower forecasted growth values. It is market-capitalization weighted. The Fund outperformed the -23.50% return of the Russell 2000 Index, which measures the performance of the small-cap segment of the U.S. equity universe. It is a subset of the Russell 3000 Index and includes approximately 2000 of the smallest securities based on a combination of their market cap and current index membership.

Subadviser discussion of factors that contributed to the Fund’s performance
For the fiscal year ended September 30, 2022, with respect to the AllianceBernstein component of the Fund, both sector selection and security selection detracted from relative performance. An underweight to the energy sector detracted, more than offsetting an underweight to health care, which contributed. Security selection in the industrial sector hampered returns, while Fund component holdings in the financial sector contributed. With respect to specific Fund component holdings, Hain Celestial (an American food company whose main focus is natural foods) detracted after it reported a weak first-quarter 2022 and missed expectations with continued cost inflation, supply-chain headwinds, and weakness in European consumer spending. Nomad Foods, a European frozen foods company, also detracted after reporting second-quarter 2022 results. Amusement park operator Six Flags also hindered performance after reporting its first-quarter 2022 results, which included attendance volumes that were down 22% from pre-pandemic levels. With respect to Fund component holdings that contributed to returns, HF Sinclair, an oil refiner and manufacturer of lubricants, benefited from a sharp increase in refining margins, driven by turmoil in the energy markets after the Russian invasion of Ukraine. Health care data analytics company Change Healthcare contributed after it reported stronger-than-expected revenue – and improved terms for its pending acquisition by UnitedHealth Group. Behavioral health care provider Acadia Healthcare contributed after posting positive earnings results throughout the fiscal year.
Within the American Century segment of the Fund, positioning in the energy sector was the primary detractor from performance. The Fund’s underweight allocation to energy hampered returns, as did stock selection within the sector. Most of the drag on performance occurred in the oil, gas, and consumable fuels industry. The information technology sector also detracted from performance. A large overweight to the sector hindered returns, as did stock selection within the market segment. Fund component holdings in the communications equipment industry detracted from performance. An overweight to Avaya Holdings, a cloud communications company, proved especially unfavorable. In the software industry, Fund component holding Teradata, a cloud database firm that was not represented in the benchmark during the fiscal period, also proved detrimental. Turning to the positive, the financial sector was the leading contributor to performance, with stock selection providing the bulk of the return. Avoiding the mortgage real estate investment trust (REIT) industry was also beneficial for the Fund component. Returns in the insurance industry stemmed mostly from American Century’s position in Axis Capital Holdings, a reinsurance company. In the banking industry, a significantly overweight allocation was advantageous. In particular, an overweight allocation to SouthState, a South Carolina-based bank, and a position in FNB, a bank holding company based in Pennsylvania that was not in the benchmark during the fiscal period, were leading contributors. American Century’s positioning in the health care sector also added to relative returns. The primary contributing factor was a decision to avoid exposure to the biotechnology industry. Fund component holdings in the health care providers and services industry also enhanced performance, where a lack of exposure to Invitae, a medical testing firm, proved advantageous. The American Century Fund component’s exposure to derivatives did not have a

material effect on performance during the period. Derivatives are securities that derive their value from the performance of one or more other investments and take the form of a contract between two or more parties. Derivatives can be used for hedging, speculation, or both.
Subadviser outlook
AllianceBernstein observes that, as of the end of the fiscal year, markets remained focused on multiple challenges that may impact how much companies will earn and the appropriate multiple to pay for those earnings. In AllianceBernstein’s view, these challenges include supply-chain bottlenecks, cost inflation, and a concern that Federal Reserve interest rate increases may lead to a recession. Stock prices have gyrated as investors have tried to assess which combination of risks will prevail. Overall, in AllianceBernstein’s view, the market seems to have assumed that tougher times are ahead. Fund management sees the potential for challenges in the future, as the global economy undergoes dramatic structural changes in areas like supply-chain onshoring and energy security. As longer-term value investors, AllianceBernstein plans to focus on those companies that combine high quality with strong business models – and can thrive in the new economy that lies ahead.
At the end of the fiscal year, American Century was maintaining a large overweight in the information technology sector – on the view that valuations are attractive due to cyclical reasons, trade war fears, operational miscues, and the conflict in Ukraine. Their Fund component was also overweight in the industrial sector – with Fund component holdings that include quality companies in machinery, distribution, and commercial services, many of which have maintained their pricing power during the inflationary environment. Fund management also views the consumer discretionary sector as attractive, and throughout the fiscal year, the American Century Fund component’s overweight allocation to that sector was dispersed across higher-quality specialty retailers, leisure product manufacturers, attractively valued restaurant and leisure companies, and household durables providers. While many have underperformed recently, Fund management believes that such companies will generate strong results in various economic environments.

MassMutual Mid Cap Growth Fund – Portfolio Manager Report (Unaudited) |
What is the investment approach of MassMutual Mid Cap Growth Fund, and who are the Fund’s subadvisers?
The Fund seeks growth of capital over the long-term by investing primarily in equity securities of mid-capitalization companies that the Fund’s subadvisers believe offer the potential for long-term growth. Under normal circumstances, the Fund invests at least 80% of its net assets (plus the amount of any borrowings for investment purposes) in a broadly diversified portfolio of common stocks of mid-cap companies whose earnings the Fund’s subadvisers expect to grow at a faster rate than the average company. The Fund’s subadvisers are T. Rowe Price Associates, Inc. (T. Rowe Price), which managed approximately 76% of the Fund’s portfolio; and Frontier Capital Management Company, LLC (Frontier), which was responsible for approximately 24% of the Fund’s portfolio, as of September 30, 2022. In addition, T. Rowe Price Investment Management, Inc. serves as a sub-subadviser for the portion of the portfolio subadvised by T. Rowe Price.
How did the Fund perform during the 12 months ended September 30, 2022?
The Fund’s Class R5 shares returned -26.76%, outperforming the -29.50% return of the Russell Midcap® Growth Index (the “benchmark”), which measures the performance of the mid-cap growth segment of the U.S. equity universe. It includes Russell Midcap Index companies with higher price-to-book ratios and higher forecasted growth values. It is market-capitalization weighted.

Subadviser discussion of factors that contributed to the Fund’s performance
For the fiscal year ended September 30, 2022, within the T. Rowe Price component of the Fund, both stock selection and sector allocation drove the Fund component’s outperformance. Favorable stock selection in the health care sector contributed to relative results. With respect to specific Fund component holdings, while Hologic, a medical technology company primarily focused on women’s health, declined in performance during the fiscal year, it performed well relative to its sector peers, and the company exhibited broad-based strength during the period. Within the consumer discretionary sector, Dollar General shares advanced, as the company benefited from consumers’ renewed focus on discounted goods. Security selection and an underweight allocation to the communication services sector further boosted T. Rowe Price’s relative performance for the period. On the downside, an underweight allocation to the energy sector detracted from relative returns, but this was offset by strong stock selection in that market segment. The materials sector also detracted due to unfavorable stock selection, but this was partially offset by an overweight position. Shares of Ball, a leading global manufacturer of aluminum packaging products, declined on weaker results and lowered 2022 guidance due to numerous headwinds, including inflationary pressures, a severe recession in Brazil, and the closure of its Russia-based business. The T. Rowe Price component of the Fund held warrants during the period, which had a negligible impact on performance. Derivatives are securities that derive their value from the performance of one or more other investments and take the form of a contract between two or more parties. Derivatives can be used for hedging, speculation, or both.
Adverse sector allocation that neutralized favorable stock selection challenged the Frontier component of the Fund during the fiscal year. The Fund component’s underweight allocations to the energy and consumer staples sectors, the top two performing market segments, accounted for most of the allocation headwind, as investors reached for an inflation hedge on the one hand – and safety on the other. Stock selection was the strongest in the technology sector, followed by consumer discretionary and health care, with partial offsets coming from Fund component holdings in energy and telecommunications. With respect to specific Fund component holdings, network security software provider Palo Alto Networks Inc. benefited from a strong product cycle, share gains, and heightened customer awareness against security breaches. Semiconductor supplier Wolfspeed Inc. reported improving sales and raised its long-term revenue forecast by a third based on expanding manufacturing capacity and accelerating share gains in the electrical vehicle market. In the consumer discretionary sector, toy maker Mattel Inc. reported significantly better-than-expected results. Discount retailer Dollar General Corporation posted same-store sales above Wall Street’s estimates and raised its annual revenue target. Signify Health Inc. rose sharply, as CVS Health Corporation agreed to buy the value-based care provider for a 78% premium. Together, these contributions overcame the headwinds from economically sensitive Fund component holdings – such as Caesars Entertainment, Inc. (an American hotel and casino entertainment company); Block, Inc. (an American multinational technology conglomerate); and SVB Financial Group (a holding company that provides banking and financial services), all of which underperformed in the rising interest rate environment.

Subadviser outlook
In T. Rowe Price’s view, investors in the United States continue to live and invest in an unprecedented macroeconomic environment. T. Rowe Price believes that the bear market in the U.S. that was present at the end of the fiscal year was particularly unusual in that it took place in conjunction with a tight labor market featuring record job openings and historically low unemployment. Looking ahead, T. Rowe Price believes that investors are likely to remain focused on whether the Federal Reserve (the “Fed”) can achieve a soft landing by taming inflation without sending the economy into recession. Outside of the U.S., Fund management believes that the probability of a recession is higher due to the implications of the Russian invasion of Ukraine, soaring energy prices, and persistent inflation. Regardless of the macroeconomic environment, Fund management’s focus remains on long-term outperformance. They expect to continue to seek out reasonably valued equities with strong fundamental underpinnings, while paying careful attention to risk and valuation relative to growth prospects.
In Frontier’s view, the probability of a recession has increased substantially, due to stubborn inflation and a more aggressive Fed, which seems determined to tame prices, even at the expense of economic growth. Fund management believes that the substantial decline in the benchmark partly reflects the impending slump. On the brighter side, Frontier believes that the combination of lower demand and loosening supply has the potential to reduce inflation. Price declines, as of September 30, 2022, were already visible in categories ranging from rents and home values to commodities and autos. At the same time, in Frontier’s opinion, the ongoing market correction places U.S. equities on a firmer footing by driving out excess speculation and potentially setting the stage for the next expansion.

Subadviser discussion of factors that contributed to the Fund’s performance
In the Wellington Management component of the Fund, strong security selection in the health care and industrial sectors was the primary driver of the Fund component’s outperformance of the benchmark for the one-year period ended September 30, 2022. This was partially offset by weaker stock selection within the communication services, health care, and information technology sectors. With regard to specific Fund component holdings, among the top relative contributors were Fluor (industrial sector) and Viper Energy Partners (energy sector). Shares of Fluor ended the period higher after the engineering and construction firm reported fourth-quarter 2021 adjusted earnings per share (EPS) levels above expectations. The company also provided strong 2022 EPS guidance. Shares of Viper Energy Partners ended the period higher after the mineral rights company reported strong fourth-quarter 2021 adjusted earnings, beating consensus estimates. Among the top relative detractors for the period were Bandwidth (communication services sector) and Rapid7 (information technology sector). The share price of Bandwidth, a cloud-based communication services company, fell over the period after management released disappointing 2022 guidance. The company suffered a Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attack in third-quarter 2021 and Fund management eliminated the position during the period, given gross margin pressure and a reduced growth outlook for the company. Rapid7 shares fell during the period as the company shared second-quarter 2022 results. Demand in the vulnerability management segment softened during the quarter and the company sold off, along with the software sector more broadly, given the rising interest rate environment and multiple contractions that impacted the broader industry.
With respect to the Invesco Advisers component of the Fund, strong stock selection in the financial sector contributed to the Fund component’s performance for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2022. The major detractor from performance was weaker stock selection in the consumer staples, consumer discretionary, and industrial sectors. Fund component holdings that were among the top-performing stocks included Shockwave Medical, LPL Financial, and WillScot Mobile Mini. Shockwave Medical, a cardiovascular medical device company, reported multiple quarters of substantial upside due to continued fast-paced adoption of their technology used to remove calcified lesions in patients with heart disease. LPL Financial offers technology, brokerage, and investment advisory services through business relationships with many types of financial advisors. They reported another strong quarter for second-quarter 2022. Throughout the fiscal year, LPL Financial benefitted from higher interest rates; they continued to hire new advisors at a fast pace, which helped to grow overall assets under management. WillScot Mobile Mini provides modular and portable storage services. The company reported solid second-quarter 2022 revenue and EBITDA that beat consensus estimates, and it also raised its 2022 guidance. (Earnings before interest, tax, depreciation, and amortization (EBITDA) is a measure of a company’s operating performance.) Fund component holdings that were top detractors from performance included Kornit Digital, Tandem Diabetes Care, and Boot Barn. Kornit Digital develops, manufactures, and markets

industrial and commercial printing solutions for the garment, apparel, and textiles industries. The stock declined in the second quarter of 2022 as a result of reduced consumer spending, which caused management to lower its guidance. Tandem Diabetes Care is a medical device company for the treatment of diabetes. The company reported mixed financial results during the second quarter of 2022. The stock lagged on growing fear of competition in the diabetes pump sector. Boot Barn detracted from performance in the third quarter of 2022 as its inventories were elevated – and its guidance fell short of Wall Street estimates.
Subadviser outlook
In Wellington Management’s view, this past fiscal year has been categorized by heightened market volatility, spurred on by a steady slate of macro cross-currents, ranging from record inflation to persistent supply chain challenges and Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. In Wellington Management’s observation, markets ended the period lower, as investors braced for a recession; however, as of the end of the fiscal period, the timing and magnitude are still unknown, as market participants weigh the impacts of persistent inflation, recession, and the Federal Reserve’s (the “Fed”) reactionary function. As a result, stocks within the Wellington Management Fund component were prone to trading on narrative rather than fundamentals during the period. Given this uncertainty, Fund management remains disciplined within their upside/downside valuation framework – and expects to position the portfolio to be balanced, yet in a position to potentially recover when markets begin to turn positive. At the end of the fiscal year, the Wellington Management Fund component had its largest overweight allocation to the real estate, industrial, and energy sectors, and its most significant underweight allocation to the information technology, financial, and consumer discretionary sectors.
In Invesco Advisers’ view, as the final quarter of 2022 begins, financial markets remain unusually volatile as a complex global scenario unfolds. In Invesco Advisers’ observation, the market’s primary focus is on aggressive Fed monetary policy tightening to address excessive inflation, and how much harm such tightening may inflict on gross domestic product (GDP) and corporate earnings. GDP fell at a -1.6% annual rate in the second quarter of 2022, so the likelihood of a hard landing increased. Meanwhile, as of the end of the fiscal period, rising interest rates, commodity, labor, and supply chain costs were weighing on corporate margins. Although Fund management has sought to defend against this hostile macroeconomic picture with a defensive portfolio strategy in recent months, they are alert to the eventual return of favorable conditions on the road ahead. There has been a sizable valuation reset in growth stock valuations this year, which has, in Invesco Advisers’ view, improved the risk/reward trade-off.

(Harris), which oversaw approximately 32% of the Fund’s portfolio, as of September 30, 2022.
How did the Fund perform during the 12 months ended September 30, 2022?
The Fund’s Class R5 shares returned -24.74%, outperforming the -25.13% return of the MSCI EAFE Index (the “benchmark”), which measures the performance of the large- and mid-cap segments of developed markets, excluding the U.S. and Canada equity securities. It is free float-adjusted market-capitalization weighted.

Subadviser discussion of factors that contributed to the Fund’s performance
For the fiscal year ended September 30, 2022, with respect to the MFS component of the Fund, stock selection in the information technology, financial, and consumer discretionary sectors contributed to performance relative to the benchmark. Within the information technology sector, not holding shares of lithography systems manufacturer for the semiconductor industry ASML (Netherlands) supported the Fund component’s relative results. Within the financial sector, overweight positions in stock exchange operator Deutsche Börse (Germany), banking services provider DBS Group (Singapore), and investment management and banking firm UBS (Switzerland) bolstered relative results. Within the consumer discretionary sector, an overweight position in food catering company Compass Group (United Kingdom) supported the Fund component’s relative performance. During the reporting period, the Fund component’s relative currency exposure, resulting primarily from differences between MFS’s and the benchmark’s exposures to holdings of securities denominated in foreign currencies, was another contributor to relative performance. Detracting from relative performance for the fiscal year was an underweight position and, to a lesser extent, stock selection within, the energy sector – where not owning shares of strong-performing global energy and petrochemicals company Shell (United Kingdom) and integrated energy and petroleum company TotalEnergies (France) hampered performance. Security selection in the materials sector also weakened relative results. Within that market segment, not owning shares of mining giant BHP Group (Australia) and an overweight position in paint and specialty chemicals manufacturer Akzo Nobel (Netherlands) hindered relative performance.
For the Harris Fund component of the Fund, Japan provided the best relative performance, due primarily to allocation effects, while stock selection also contributed. The Netherlands produced the next-best result, owing to stock selection effects in this geography – followed by Indonesia, where the underlying Fund component holding produced a positive absolute return. Holdings in Germany detracted the most from relative performance, predominantly driven by Harris’s higher exposure to the country relative to the benchmark. The next-largest negative relative results came from holdings in the U.K. and France. From a sector perspective, the materials sector furnished the best relative performance, due to positive outcomes from both stock selection as well as a greater-than-benchmark weighting. Fund component holdings in the technology and industrial sectors delivered the next best performance, due to a combination of weighting and stock selection effects. The financial sector supplied the largest negative relative result, due to stock selection effects, as nine of 13 underlying holdings lost value during the period. Fund component holdings in the consumer discretionary and communication services sectors produced the next-largest negative relative results for the period, due to a combination of weighting and stock selection effects. As of September 30, 2022, the Fund component no longer held any hedges or derivatives; however, over the past 12 months, hedges contributed to the Harris Fund component’s performance. Derivatives are securities that derive their value from the performance of one or more other investments and take the form of a contract between two or more parties. Derivatives can be used for hedging, speculation, or both.

Subadviser outlook
MFS believes that, as of the end of the fiscal year, with central banks aggressively raising interest rates to combat stubbornly elevated inflation levels, Russia restricting its natural gas supply to Europe, and China continuing to enforce its Zero-COVID lockdown policy, it seems like a matter of when, not if, many company earnings decline from record levels. Composite leading indicators compiled by the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) during the fiscal year support this potential outcome. After suggesting expansionary economic activity just one year ago, the OECD’s global, developed markets and emerging markets leading indicators have all turned negative as of the end of the fiscal year. Although MFS believes that it is difficult to forecast how far earnings might decline from current levels, in MFS’s opinion, the companies in its Fund component’s portfolio have more pricing power, higher returns, and less volatile earnings than the market overall.
Harris observes that a variety of macroeconomic concerns pressured financial markets throughout the fiscal year. While Harris does not overlook the negative impacts that the war in Ukraine, tightening financial conditions, energy crisis, and volatile currencies will continue to have, Harris remains cognizant that a company’s value is generally derived from its longer-term cash flows, discounted back to the present day. As share prices fall across the board, Harris plans to focus on long-term normalized earning power at normalized discount rates, purchasing them at valuations below Fund management’s estimate of intrinsic value.

Subadviser discussion of factors that contributed to the Fund’s performance
T. Rowe Price takes a core approach to investing, which provides exposure to both growth and value styles of investing. For the fiscal year ended September 30, 2022, stock selection among the emerging markets stock and international developed value equity allocations detracted from relative returns, as the allocations lagged their respective benchmarks. Conversely, selection in the international developed growth and emerging markets value equity allocations lifted relative results. Tactical positioning had a mixed impact on results. An overweight allocation to international large-cap value equities, which outpaced growth equities for the period, was beneficial. However, an overweight allocation to emerging markets equities, which trailed international developed stocks, weighed on relative performance.
Within the emerging markets equity allocation, less-than-favorable stock selection in the financial sector detracted from relative results, driven by holdings in the banking industry. Weak stock selection in the communication services sector also had a negative impact on relative performance. Conversely, favorable stock selection in the real estate sector lifted relative results, led by the real estate management and development industry. From a country perspective, weak stock selection in India weighed on relative returns. However, positive stock selection in Hong Kong aided relative returns, although it was mostly offset by an overweight allocation.
The international equity value allocation underperformed, as unfavorable security selection, coupled with an overweight allocation to the information technology sector, weighed on relative performance, driven by holdings in the semiconductors and semiconductor equipment industry. Detrimental stock choices and an underweight allocation to the energy sector also held back relative results. However, favorable stock selection in the consumer staples sector added value, led by the food products industry. Regionally, stock selection in developed Europe was a notable detractor from relative performance, driven by underperforming shares in the United Kingdom. Conversely, out-of-benchmark exposure to Canada bolstered returns.
Within the international core equity allocation, security selection in the financial sector contributed to relative performance, led by holdings in the insurance industry. However, stock selection within the consumer discretionary sector weighed on relative returns, driven by holdings within the internet and direct marketing retail industry. The health care sector also hurt relative returns due to poor stock selection. Regionally, out-of-benchmark exposure to Canada proved beneficial. On the contrary, security selection within developed Europe detracted from relative results, driven by shares in the United Kingdom.
64
MassMutual Select T. Rowe Price International Equity Fund – Portfolio Manager Report (Unaudited) (Continued) |
The international equity growth allocation posted negative absolute returns. Nevertheless, favorable stock selection in the industrial and business services sector significantly contributed to relative results, driven by holdings in the aerospace and defense industry. Strong stock choices, coupled with an overweight allocation in the financial sector, also bolstered relative performance. Conversely, stock selection in the health care sector held back relative returns, driven by holdings in the pharmaceuticals industry. Regionally, favorable stock selection in and an underweight allocation to Japan was a notable contributor to relative performance. However, unfavorable security selection in Latin America detracted, driven by exposure to Brazilian equities.
The emerging markets value equity allocation posted negative absolute returns, although strong security selection in the industrial and business services sector was a significant contributor to relative performance, led by holdings in the machinery industry. Favorable stock selection, coupled with an underweight allocation to the health care sector, also had a positive impact on relative returns. Conversely, unfavorable stock selection within the financial sector was a notable detractor from relative performance, led by holdings in the capital markets industry. From a regional perspective, security selection in Pacific ex-Japan contributed significantly to relative performance, led by Chinese shares. Conversely, selection in the emerging markets Europe, Middle East, and Africa (EMEA) region detracted from relative results.
During the fiscal year, the Fund held equity options and rights. The use of rights added slightly to performance, whereas the estimated return impact from employing equity options was negligible. Derivatives are securities that derive their value from the performance of one or more other investments and take the form of a contract between two or more parties. Derivatives can be used for hedging, speculation, or both.
Subadviser outlook
T. Rowe Price notes that, as of the end of the fiscal year, valuations improved as risk assets pulled back from recent highs; however, in T. Rowe Price’s view uncertainty around corporate fundamentals suggests limited near-term upside, particularly as earnings estimates have not seen significant downward revision to reflect rising recession risks. Fund management continues to assess when to add to equities and other risk assets as they evaluate long-term valuations and early indications of stabilization or improvement in macroeconomic conditions. Given the range of potential paths for growth and inflation, Fund management expects its positioning to remain cautious, as they anticipate a firm commitment from major central banks to bring down inflation could result in a low ceiling for stocks in the near term – and could exacerbate economic contraction through over-tightening. In T. Rowe Price’s view, other key risks to global markets include the Russia-Ukraine conflict and the associated impact of energy supply shortages, which could weigh on European manufacturing, broader geopolitical instability, and unexpected supply chain disruption. They believe that such conditions contribute to a less compelling risk/reward trade-off between stocks and bonds or cash in the near term, and that a more modest allocation to equities may be prudent.

* | Contracts are subject to a master netting agreement or similar agreement. |
** | Rating is determined by Western Asset Management Company and represents a weighted average of the ratings of all securities included in the underlying index for the credit default swap. Ratings used in the weighted average are from Moody’s Investors Service, Inc., S&P Global Ratings, or Fitch Ratings, whichever is the highest for each constituent. All ratings are as of the report date and do not reflect subsequent changes. |
† | Payment is based on a percentage of the index. Reference entities are a number of individual issuers comprising the index. |
†† | For each credit derivative with sold protection, the credit ratings of the entities referenced, as rated by any rating organization, are included in the equivalent S&P Global Ratings or Western Asset Management Company’s rating category, as applicable. The reference entity rating represents the creditworthiness of the underlying issuer. As the credit rating declines, the likelihood of payment by the fund increases. Notional amounts represent the maximum potential amount of future payments (undiscounted) the Fund could be required to make under the credit derivatives with sold protection. |

1. The Funds
MassMutual Select Funds (the “Trust”) is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), as an open-end management investment company. The Trust is organized under the laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts as a Massachusetts business trust pursuant to an Agreement and Declaration of Trust dated May 28, 1993, as amended and restated as of November 21, 2011, as it may be further amended from time to time. The Trust consists of 51 series, including the following 16 series listed below (each individually referred to as a “Fund” or collectively as the “Funds”):
MassMutual Total Return Bond Fund (“Total Return Bond Fund”)
MassMutual Strategic Bond Fund (“Strategic Bond Fund”)
MassMutual Diversified Value Fund (“Diversified Value Fund”)
MassMutual Fundamental Value Fund (“Fundamental Value Fund”)
MM S&P 500® Index Fund (“S&P 500 Index Fund”)
MassMutual Equity Opportunities Fund (“Equity Opportunities Fund”)
MassMutual Fundamental Growth Fund (“Fundamental Growth Fund”)
MassMutual Blue Chip Growth Fund (“Blue Chip Growth Fund”)
MassMutual Growth Opportunities Fund (“Growth Opportunities Fund”)
MassMutual Mid Cap Value Fund (“Mid Cap Value Fund”)
MassMutual Small Cap Value Equity Fund (“Small Cap Value Equity Fund”)
MassMutual Small Company Value Fund (“Small Company Value Fund”)
MassMutual Mid Cap Growth Fund (“Mid Cap Growth Fund”)
MassMutual Small Cap Growth Equity Fund (“Small Cap Growth Equity Fund”)
MassMutual Overseas Fund (“Overseas Fund”)
MassMutual Select T. Rowe Price International Equity Fund (“MM Select T. Rowe Price International Equity Fund”)
Each share class of a Fund represents an interest in the same portfolio of assets. The principal difference among the classes is the level of service and administration fees, and shareholder and distribution service expenses borne by the classes. Because each class will have different fees and expenses, performance and share prices will vary between the classes. The classes of shares are offered to different types of investors, as outlined in the Funds’ Prospectus.
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.
Each Fund is an investment company and accordingly follows the investment company accounting and reporting guidance of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification Topic 946, Financial Services – Investment Companies.
Investment Valuation
The net asset value of each Fund’s shares is determined once daily as of the close of regular trading on the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”), on each day the NYSE is open for trading (a “business day”). The NYSE normally closes at 4:00 p.m. Eastern Time, but may close earlier on some days. If the NYSE is scheduled to close early, the business day will be considered to end as of the time of the NYSE’s scheduled close. A Fund will not treat an intraday disruption in NYSE trading or other event that causes an unscheduled closing of the NYSE as a close of business of the NYSE for these purposes; instead, MML Investment Advisers, LLC (“MML Advisers”) will determine the fair value of a Fund’s securities in accordance with MML Advisers’ fair valuation policy and procedures. On holidays and other days when the NYSE is closed, each Fund’s net asset value generally is not calculated and the Funds do not anticipate accepting buy or sell orders. However, the value of each Fund’s assets may still be affected on such days to the extent that a Fund holds foreign securities that trade on days that foreign securities markets are open.
237
Notes to Financial Statements (Continued) |
Equity securities and derivative contracts that are actively traded on a national securities exchange or contract market are valued on the basis of information furnished by a pricing service, which provides the last reported sale price, or, in the case of futures contracts, the settlement price, for securities or derivatives listed on the exchange or contract market or the official closing price on the NASDAQ National Market System (“NASDAQ System”), or in the case of over-the-counter (“OTC”) securities for which an official closing price is unavailable or not reported on the NASDAQ System, the last reported bid price. Portfolio securities traded on more than one national securities exchange are valued at the last price at the close of the exchange representing the principal market for such securities. Debt securities are valued on the basis of valuations furnished by a pricing service, which generally determines valuations taking into account factors such as institutional-size trading in similar securities, yield, quality, coupon rate, maturity, type of issue, trading characteristics, and other market data. Shares of other open-end mutual funds are valued at their closing net asset values as reported on each business day.
Investments for which market quotations are readily available are marked to market daily based on those quotations. Market quotations may be provided by third-party vendors or market makers, and may be determined on the basis of a variety of factors, such as broker quotations, financial modeling, and other market data, such as market indexes and yield curves, counterparty information, and foreign exchange rates. U.S. Government and agency securities may be valued on the basis of market quotations or using a model that may incorporate market observable data such as reported sales of similar securities, broker quotes, yields, bids, offers, quoted market prices, and reference data. The fair values of OTC derivative contracts, including forward, swap, and option contracts related to interest rates, foreign currencies, credit standing of reference entities, equity prices, or commodity prices, may be based on market quotations or may be modeled using a series of techniques, including simulation models, depending on the contract and the terms of the transaction. The fair values of asset-backed securities and mortgage-backed securities are estimated based on models that consider the estimated cash flows of each debt tranche of the issuer, established benchmark yield, and estimated tranche-specific spread to the benchmark yield based on the unique attributes of the tranche, including, but not limited to, prepayment speed assumptions and attributes of the collateral.
The Board of Trustees (“Trustees”) have designated MML Advisers as the Funds’ “valuation designee,” responsible for determining the fair value, in good faith, of securities and other instruments held by the Funds for which market quotations are not readily available or for which such market quotations or values are considered by MML Advisers or a subadviser to be unreliable (including, for example, certain foreign securities, thinly-traded securities, certain restricted securities, certain initial public offerings, or securities whose values may have been affected by a significant event). It is possible that a significant amount of a Fund’s assets will be subject to fair valuation in accordance with MML Advisers’ fair valuation policy and procedures. The fair value determined for an investment by MML Advisers may differ from recent market prices for the investment and may be significantly different from the value realized upon the sale of such investment.
The Funds may invest in securities that are traded principally in foreign markets and that trade on weekends and other days when the Funds do not price their shares. As a result, the values of the Funds’ portfolio securities may change on days when the prices of the Funds’ shares are not calculated. The prices of the Funds’ shares will reflect any such changes when the prices of the Funds’ shares are next calculated, which is the next business day. The Funds may use fair value pricing more frequently for securities primarily traded in foreign markets because, among other things, most foreign markets close well before the Funds value their securities. The earlier close of these foreign markets gives rise to the possibility that significant events, including broad market moves, may have occurred in the interim. The Funds’ investments may be priced based on fair values provided by a third-party vendor, based on certain factors and methodologies applied by such vendor, in the event that there is movement in the U.S. market, between the close of the foreign market and the time the Funds calculate their net asset values. All assets and liabilities expressed in foreign currencies are converted into U.S. dollars at the mean between the buying and selling rates of such currencies against the U.S. dollar at the end of each business day.
Investments in equity or debt issued by privately held companies or funds (“Private Company” or collectively, the “Private Companies”) and any other investments fair valued using significant unobservable inputs may be fair valued using one or a combination of, but not limited to, the following inputs:
Market approach: (i) recent market transactions, including subsequent rounds of financing, in the underlying investment or comparable issuers; (ii) recapitalizations and other transactions across the capital structure; and (iii) market multiples of comparable issuers.
238
Notes to Financial Statements (Continued) |
Income approach: (i) future cash flows discounted to present value and adjusted as appropriate for liquidity, credit, and/or market risks; (ii) quoted prices for similar investments or assets in active markets; and (iii) other risk factors, such as interest rates, yield curves, volatilities, prepayment speeds, loss severities, credit risks, recovery rates, liquidation amounts, and/or default rates.
Cost approach: (i) audited or unaudited financial statements, investor communications, and financial or operational metrics issued by the Private Company; (ii) changes in the valuation of relevant indexes or publicly traded companies comparable to the Private Company; (iii) relevant news and other public sources; and (iv) known secondary market transactions in the Private Company’s interests and merger or acquisition activity in companies comparable to the Private Company.
Investments in series of preferred stock issued by Private Companies are typically valued utilizing the Market approach in determining the enterprise value of the company. Such investments often contain rights and preferences that differ from other series of preferred and common stock of the same issuer. Valuation techniques such as the current value method (“CVM”), an option pricing model (“OPM”), a probability weighted expected return model (“PWERM”), or a hybrid of those techniques are used in allocating enterprise value of the company, as deemed appropriate under the circumstances. The CVM allocates value among the various parts of a company’s capital structure assuming that the value of convertible preferred stock is represented by the most favorable claim the preferred stockholders have on the enterprise value as of the valuation date. The use of OPM and PWERM techniques involve a determination of the exit scenarios of the investment in order to appropriately allocate the enterprise value of the company among the various parts of its capital structure.
The Private Companies are not subject to the public company disclosure, timing, and reporting standards as other investments held by a Fund. Typically, the most recently available information for a Private Company is as of a date that is earlier than the date a Fund is calculating its net asset value. This factor may result in a difference between the value of the investment and the price a Fund could receive upon the sale of the investment.
Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. A three-tier hierarchy is utilized to maximize the use of observable market data inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs and to establish classification of fair value measurements for disclosure purposes. Inputs refer broadly to the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability, including assumptions about risk, for example, the risk inherent in a particular valuation technique used to measure fair value (such as a pricing model) and/or the risk inherent in the inputs to the valuation technique. Inputs may be observable or unobservable. Observable inputs are inputs that reflect the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability and are developed based on market data obtained from sources independent of the reporting entity. Unobservable inputs are inputs that reflect the reporting entity’s own assumptions about the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability and are developed based on the best information available in the circumstances. The three-tier hierarchy of inputs is summarized in the three broad Levels listed below. The inputs or methodology used for valuing investments are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those investments and the determination of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement in its entirety requires judgment and consideration of factors specific to each security.
Level 1 – quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical investments that the Funds can access at the measurement date
Level 2 – other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar investments, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.)
Level 3 – significant unobservable inputs, to the extent observable inputs are not available (including the Funds’ own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments)
239
Notes to Financial Statements (Continued) |
The availability of observable inputs can vary from security to security and is affected by a wide variety of factors, including, for example, the type of security, whether the security is new and not yet established in the marketplace, the liquidity of markets, and other characteristics particular to the security. To the extent that valuation is based on models or inputs that are less observable or unobservable in the market, the determination of fair value requires more judgment. Accordingly, the degree of judgment exercised in determining fair value is greatest for instruments categorized in Level 3.
Changes in valuation techniques may result in transfers in or out of an investment’s assigned Level within the hierarchy. In addition, in periods of market dislocation, the observability of prices and inputs may be reduced for many instruments. This condition, as well as changes related to liquidity of investments, could cause a security to be reclassified between Levels.
In certain cases, the inputs used to measure fair value may fall into different Levels of the fair value hierarchy. In such cases, for disclosure purposes, the Level in the fair value hierarchy within which the fair value measurement falls is determined based on the lowest Level input that is significant to the overall fair value measurement.
The Fundamental Value Fund, Fundamental Growth Fund, Growth Opportunities Fund, and Small Cap Growth Equity Fund characterized all long-term investments at Level 1, and all short-term investments at Level 2, as of September 30, 2022. For each Fund noted in the preceding sentence, the level classification by major category of investments is the same as the category presentation in the Portfolio of Investments.
The following is the aggregate value by input level, as of September 30, 2022, for the remaining Funds’ investments:

The Mid Cap Growth Fund may fair value certain of its Level 3 investments using acquisition cost, although the transaction may not have occurred during the current reporting period. These investments are generally privately held investments, but may include defaulted securities and new debt issuances. There may not be a secondary market for such investments, and/or there are a limited number of investors. The determination to fair value such investments at cost is based upon factors consistent with the principles of fair value measurement that are reasonably available to the valuation designee. Valuations are reviewed by the valuation designee utilizing available market information to determine if the carrying value of these investments should be adjusted. Such market data may include, but is not limited to, observations of the trading multiples of public companies considered comparable to the private companies being valued, financial or operational information released by the company, and/or news or corporate events that affect the investment, also referred to as enterprise value (EV) to earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization (EBITDA) ratios. Valuations may be adjusted to account for company-specific issues, the lack of liquidity inherent in a nonpublic investment, and the fact that comparable public companies are not identical to the investments being fair valued by the Mid Cap Growth Fund. All market variables are assessed on a regular frequency and calibrated as necessary.
The table excludes securities which were classified as level 3 based upon a broker quote.

Derivative Instruments
Derivatives are financial instruments whose values are based on the values of one or more underlying indicators, such as a security, asset, currency, interest rate, or index. Derivative transactions can create investment leverage and may be highly volatile. Losses from derivatives can be substantially greater than the derivatives’ original cost and can sometimes be unlimited. A Fund may not be able to close out a derivative transaction at a favorable time or price.

The Portfolio of Investments included in a Fund’s financial statements shows the assets or liabilities of the Fund associated with individual derivatives transactions. The terms of many of those transactions contemplate that derivatives receivables and payables between the same two parties may be netted and that the parties will collateralize certain obligations. The following tables provide an illustration of the possible effect of netting provisions and of collateral (delivered or received) on a Fund’s derivatives exposure as of September 30, 2022. Netting arrangements vary among different counterparties, and the actual disposition of derivatives receivables and payables, and of collateral, in a bankruptcy or insolvency can be complicated and difficult to predict.
The following table presents derivative assets by counterparty net of amounts available for offset under a master netting agreement (“MNA”) or similar agreement and net of the related collateral received by the Fund(s) as of September 30, 2022.

Further details regarding the derivatives and other investments held by the Fund(s) during the year ended September 30, 2022, are discussed below.
Foreign Currency Exchange Transactions
A Fund may enter into foreign currency exchange transactions for hedging purposes in order to protect against uncertainty in the level of future foreign currency exchange rates, or for other, non-hedging purposes.
A Fund may enter into foreign currency exchange transactions, including foreign currency forward contracts. These contracts call for the Fund to deliver in the future an amount of one currency in return for an amount of another currency, at an exchange rate determined at the time the contract is entered into. Forward contracts are private contractual arrangements and a Fund is subject to the risk that its counterparty will not, or will not be able to, perform its obligations. This type of arrangement may require the Fund to post margin. A Fund may also buy and sell options on currencies. When the Fund buys an option, its loss should generally be limited to the amount of the premium paid and any transaction costs. If a Fund sells an option on a currency, it is subject generally to the same risks as if it had entered into a futures contract or forward contract with respect to that currency. A Fund may enter into foreign currency exchange transactions in order to hedge against changes in the values of the assets or liabilities denominated in one or more foreign currencies, or otherwise to increase or reduce a Fund’s exposure to various foreign currencies. The use of foreign currency exchange transactions may create investment leverage.
Whenever a Fund enters into a foreign currency exchange transaction, it is subject to the risk that the value of the transaction will move in a direction unfavorable to it. When the Fund uses the transactions for hedging purposes, it is likely that the Fund will have an asset or liability that will offset any loss (or gain) on the transactions, at least in part. If a Fund enters into foreign currency exchange transactions other than for hedging purposes (for example, seeking to profit from an anticipated change in the values of currencies by creating directional exposures in the portfolio with respect to one or more currencies), it will generally be subject to the same risks, but is less likely to have assets or liabilities that will offset any losses on the transactions. There can be no assurance that a Fund will be able to terminate any foreign currency exchange transaction prior to its maturity in order to limit its loss on the transaction.
Forward foreign currency contracts are marked to market daily and the change in their value is recorded by the Funds as an unrealized gain or loss. Forward foreign currency contracts are valued at the settlement price established through dealers or other market sources on the day which they are traded. When a forward foreign currency contract is extinguished, through delivery or offset by entering into another forward foreign currency contract, the Funds record a realized gain or loss equal to the difference between the value of the contract at the time it was opened and the value of the contract at the time it was extinguished or offset. The notional or contractual amounts of these instruments do not necessarily represent the amounts potentially subject to risk. The measurement of the risk associated with these instruments is meaningful only when all related and offsetting transactions and counterparty risks are considered. For information regarding the accounting treatment of options, see “Options, Rights, and Warrants” below.
A Fund’s current exposure to a counterparty is the unrealized appreciation/(depreciation) on the contract.

Notes to Financial Statements (Continued) |
Futures Contracts
A Fund may seek to manage a variety of different risks, such as interest rate risk, equity price risk, and currency risk, through the use of futures contracts and related options.
Futures Contracts. A Fund may use interest rate futures contracts to adjust the interest rate sensitivity (duration) of its portfolio or the credit exposure of the portfolio. Interest rate futures contracts obligate the long or short holder to take or make delivery of a specified quantity of a financial instrument, such as a specific fixed income security, during a specified future period at a specified price. A Fund may use index futures contracts to hedge against broad market risks to its portfolio or to gain broad market exposure when it holds uninvested cash or as an inexpensive substitute for cash investments directly in securities or other assets, including commodities and precious metals. Securities index futures contracts are contracts to buy or sell units of a securities index at a specified future date at a price agreed upon when the contract is made and are settled in cash. Positions in futures contracts may be closed out only on an exchange or board of trade which provides a market for such futures. Because futures contracts are exchange-traded, they typically have minimal exposure to counterparty risk.
Parties to a futures contract are not required to post the entire notional amount of the contract, but rather a small percentage of that amount (by way of margin), both at the time they enter into futures transactions, and then on a daily basis if their positions decline in value; as a result, futures contracts are highly leveraged. Such payments are known as variation margin and are recorded by the Funds as unrealized gains or losses. Because futures markets are highly leveraged, they can be extremely volatile, and there can be no assurance that the pricing of a futures contract will correlate precisely with the pricing of the asset or index underlying it or the asset or liability of the Fund that is the subject of the hedge. It may not always be possible for a Fund to enter into a closing transaction with respect to a futures contract it has entered into, at a favorable time or price. When a Fund enters into a futures transaction, it is subject to the risk that the value of the futures contract will move in a direction unfavorable to it. When a Fund uses futures contracts for hedging purposes, it is likely that the Fund will have an asset or liability that will offset any loss (or gain) on the transactions, at least in part.
Options on Futures Contracts. If a Fund buys an option on a futures contract, it will have the right to assume a futures contract at a particular price during the course of the option. Its potential loss should generally be limited to the amount of the premium paid and any transaction costs. If a Fund sells an option on a futures contract, it is subject generally to the same risks as if it had entered into a futures contract underlying the option itself.
When a futures contract is closed, the Fund records a realized gain or loss equal to the difference between the value of the contract at the time it was opened and the value at the time it was closed. Futures contracts are valued at the settlement price established each day by the board of trade or exchange on which they are traded. For information regarding the accounting treatment of options, see “Options, Rights, and Warrants” below.
Swap Agreements
Swap agreements are typically two-party contracts entered into primarily by institutional investors. In a standard “swap” transaction, two parties agree to exchange the returns (or differentials in rates of return) earned or realized on particular predetermined investments or instruments or rates, which may be adjusted for an interest factor. The gross returns to be exchanged or “swapped” between the parties are generally calculated with respect to a “notional amount,” (i.e., the return on or increase in value of a particular dollar amount invested at a particular interest rate or in a “basket” of securities representing a particular index).
Interest Rate Swaps. When a Fund enters into an interest rate swap, it typically agrees to make payments to its counterparty based on a specified long- or short-term interest rate, and will receive payments from its counterparty based on another interest rate. Other forms of interest rate swap agreements include, among others, interest rate caps, under which, in return for a specified payment stream, one party agrees to make payments to the other to the extent that interest rates exceed a specified rate, or “cap”; interest rate floors, under which, in return for a specified payment stream, one party agrees to make payments to the other to the extent that interest rates fall below a specified rate, or “floor”; and interest rate collars, under which a party sells a cap and purchases a floor or vice versa in an attempt to protect itself against interest rate movements exceeding given minimum or
251
Notes to Financial Statements (Continued) |
maximum levels. A Fund may enter into an interest rate swap in order, for example, to hedge against the effect of interest rate changes on the value of specific securities in its portfolio, or to adjust the interest rate sensitivity (duration) or the credit exposure of its portfolio overall, or otherwise as a substitute for a direct investment in debt securities.
Credit Default Swaps. A Fund also may enter into credit default swap transactions, as a “buyer” or “seller” of credit protection. In a credit default swap, one party provides what is in effect insurance against a default or other adverse credit event affecting an issuer of debt securities (typically referred to as a “reference entity”). In general, the buyer of credit protection is obligated to pay the protection seller an upfront amount or a periodic stream of payments over the term of the swap. If a “credit event” occurs, the buyer has the right to deliver to the seller bonds or other obligations of the reference entity (with a value up to the full notional value of the swap), and to receive a payment equal to the par value of the bonds or other obligations. Credit events that would trigger a request that the seller make payment are specific to each credit default swap agreement, but generally include bankruptcy, failure to pay, restructuring, acceleration, default, or repudiation/moratorium. When a Fund buys protection, it may or may not own securities of the reference entity. If it does own securities of the reference entity, the swap serves as a hedge against a decline in the value of the securities due to the occurrence of a credit event involving the issuer of the securities. If the Fund does not own securities of the reference entity, the credit default swap may be seen to create a short position in the reference entity. If a Fund is a buyer and no credit event occurs, the Fund will typically recover nothing under the swap, but will have had to pay the required upfront payment and stream of continuing payments under the swap. When a Fund sells protection under a credit default swap, the position may have the effect of creating leverage in the Fund’s portfolio through the Fund’s indirect long exposure to the issuer or securities on which the swap is written. When a Fund sells protection, it may do so either to earn additional income or to create a “synthetic” long position.
Whenever a Fund enters into a swap agreement, it takes on counterparty risk — the risk that its counterparty will be unable or unwilling to meet its obligations under the swap agreement. The Fund also takes the risk that the market will move against its position in the swap agreement. In the case of an interest rate swap, the value of the swap may increase or decrease depending on changes in interest rates. In the case of a credit default swap, the swap will become more or less valuable depending on the credit of the issuer of the underlying security, and, if a credit event occurs under a swap where the Fund is the seller of credit protection, the Fund could be required to purchase the security at par value, resulting in a significant loss to the Fund. When the Fund enters into any type of swap for hedging purposes, it is likely that the Fund will have an asset or liability that will offset any loss (or gain) on the swap, at least in part. Swap agreements may be non-transferable or otherwise highly illiquid, and a Fund may not be able to terminate or transfer a swap agreement at any particular time or at an acceptable price.
Swaptions. A Fund may also enter into options on swap agreements (“swaptions”). A swaption is a contract that gives a counterparty the right (but not the obligation) to enter into a new swap agreement or to shorten, extend, cancel, or otherwise modify an existing swap agreement, at some designated future time on specified terms. A Fund may write (sell) and purchase put and call swaptions. Depending on the terms of the particular option agreement, a Fund will generally incur a greater degree of risk when it writes a swaption than it will incur when it purchases a swaption. When a Fund purchases a swaption, it risks losing only the amount of the premium it has paid should it decide to let the option expire unexercised. However, when a Fund writes a swaption, upon exercise of the option the Fund will become obligated according to the terms of the underlying agreement. A Fund may enter into swaptions for the same purposes as swaps. For information regarding the accounting treatment of options, see “Options, Rights, and Warrants” below.
Centrally Cleared Swaps. Certain clearinghouses currently offer clearing for limited types of derivatives transactions, principally certain interest rate swaps, certain index swaps, and credit derivatives. In a cleared derivative transaction, a Fund typically enters into the transaction with a financial institution counterparty, and performance of the transaction is effectively guaranteed by a central clearinghouse, thereby reducing or eliminating the Fund’s exposure to the credit risk of its original counterparty. The Fund will be required to post amounts (“initial margin”) with the clearinghouse or at the instruction of the clearinghouse. The initial margin required by a clearinghouse may be greater than the initial margin the Fund would be required to post in an uncleared transaction. If cash is deposited as the initial margin, it is shown as collateral on a Fund’s Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Swap agreements are marked-to-market daily and subsequent payments (“variation margin”) are made or received by a Fund depending on whether unrealized gains or losses are incurred. These amounts are reflected as receivables or payables
252
Notes to Financial Statements (Continued) |
on a Fund’s Statement of Assets and Liabilities (“Variation margin on open derivative instruments”) and as a component of net change in unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on a Fund’s Statement of Operations. Only a limited number of transaction types are currently eligible for clearing.
During the term of a swap transaction, changes in the value of the swap are recognized as unrealized gains or losses by marking to market to reflect the market value of the swap. When the swap is terminated, a Fund will record a realized gain or loss equal to the difference, if any, between the proceeds from (or cost of) the closing transaction and a Fund’s basis in the agreement. Upfront swap premium payments paid or received by a Fund, if any, are recorded within the value of the open swap agreement on the Fund’s Statement of Assets and Liabilities and represent payments paid or received upon entering into the swap agreement to compensate for differences between stated terms of the swap agreement and prevailing market conditions (credit spreads, currency exchange rates, and other relevant factors). These upfront payments are recorded as realized gain or loss on the Fund’s Statement of Operations upon termination or maturity of the swap agreement.
During the term of a swap transaction, the periodic net payments can be made for a set period of time or may be triggered by a predetermined credit event. The net periodic payments may be based on a fixed or variable interest rate, the change in market value of a specified security, basket of securities or index, or the return generated by a security. These periodic payments received or made by the Funds are recorded in the accompanying Statements of Operations as realized gains and losses, respectively.
A Fund’s current exposure to a counterparty is the fair value of the transaction.
Options, Rights, and Warrants
A Fund may purchase and sell put and call options on portfolio securities or an index of securities to enhance investment performance or to protect against changes in market prices. A Fund that invests in debt securities may also purchase and sell put and call options to adjust the interest rate sensitivity of its portfolio or the credit exposure of the portfolio.
Call Options. A call option gives the holder the right to purchase, and obligates the writer to sell, a security at the strike price at any time before the expiration date in the case of an American-style option or only on the expiration date in the case of a European-style option.
Put Options. A put option gives the holder the right to sell, and obligates the writer to buy, a security at the exercise price.
Writing put and call options. A Fund may write call options on a security it owns, in a “directional” strategy hoping to realize a greater current return through the receipt of premiums. In return for the option premium, the Fund takes the risk that it will have to forego any increase in the value of the security over the strike price. When a Fund has written a call option on a security it does not own, its exposure on such an option is theoretically unlimited. A Fund may enter into closing purchase transactions in order to realize a profit or limit a loss on a previously written call option or, in the case of a call option on a security it owns, to free itself to sell the underlying security or to write another call on the security, or protect a security from being called in an unexpected market rise. Any profits from a closing purchase transaction in the case of a call option on a security a Fund owns may be offset by a decline in the value of the underlying security. Conversely, because increases in the market price of a call option will generally reflect increases in the market price of the underlying security, any loss resulting from a closing purchase transaction relating to a call option on a security a Fund owns is likely to be offset in whole or in part by unrealized appreciation of the underlying security owned by the Fund. A Fund may not be able to close out a call option that it has previously written. A Fund may write put options in order to enhance its current return by taking a long directional position as to a security or index of securities. By writing a put option, the Fund assumes the risk that it may be required to purchase the underlying security for an exercise price higher than its then current market value, resulting in a potential capital loss unless the security later appreciates in value. A Fund may terminate a put option that it has written before it expires by entering into a closing purchase transaction. Any loss from this transaction may be partially or entirely offset by the premium received on the terminated option. A Fund may not be able to close out a put option that it has previously written.
253
Notes to Financial Statements (Continued) |
When a Fund writes a call or put option, an amount equal to the premium received is recorded as a liability. Premiums received from writing options which expire are treated as realized gains. Premiums received from writing options which are exercised or closed are added to the proceeds or offset against the amount paid on the underlying investment to determine the realized gain or loss.
Purchasing put and call options. A Fund may purchase put options to protect portfolio holdings against a decline in market value of a security or securities held by it. A Fund may also purchase a put option hoping to profit from an anticipated decline in the value of the underlying security. If the Fund holds the security underlying the option, the option premium and any transaction costs will reduce any profit the Fund might have realized had it sold the underlying security instead of buying the put option. A Fund may purchase call options to hedge against an increase in the price of securities that the Fund wants ultimately to buy. A Fund may also purchase a call option as a long directional investment hoping to profit from an anticipated increase in the value of the underlying security. In order for a call option to be profitable, the market price of the underlying security must rise sufficiently above the exercise price to cover the premium and transaction costs. These costs will reduce any profit the Fund might have realized had it bought the underlying security at the time it purchased the call option.
When a Fund purchases an option, it runs the risk that it will lose its entire investment in the option in a relatively short period of time, unless the Fund exercises the option or enters into a closing sale transaction before the option’s expiration. If the price of the underlying security does not rise (in the case of a call) or fall (in the case of a put) to an extent sufficient to cover the option premium and transaction costs, the Fund will lose part or all of its investment in the option. This contrasts with an investment by a Fund in the underlying security, since the Fund will not realize a loss if the security’s price does not change. Premiums paid for purchasing options that expire are treated as realized losses.
Exchange Traded Options. Exchange traded options purchased or sold by a Fund may be traded on a securities or options exchange or market. Such options typically have minimal exposure to counterparty risk. However, an exchange or market may at times find it necessary to impose restrictions on particular types of options transactions, such as opening transactions. If an underlying security ceases to meet qualifications imposed by the market or the Options Clearing Corporation, new series of options on that security will no longer be opened to replace expiring series, and opening transactions in existing series may be prohibited. Exchange traded options are valued at the last sale price, or if no sales are reported, the last bid price.
OTC Options. OTC options purchased or sold by a Fund are not traded on securities or options exchanges or backed by clearinghouses. Rather, they are entered into directly between a Fund and the counterparty to the option. In the case of an OTC option purchased by the Fund, the value of the option to the Fund will depend on the willingness and ability of the option writer to perform its obligations to the Fund. In addition, OTC options may not be transferable and there may be little or no secondary market for them, so they may be considered illiquid. It may not be possible to enter into closing transactions with respect to OTC options or otherwise to terminate such options, and as a result a Fund may be required to remain obligated on an unfavorable OTC option until its expiration. OTC options are valued using prices supplied by a primary pricing source, selected pursuant to procedures approved by the Trustees.
Rights and Warrants. A Fund may purchase or hold warrants or rights in order to gain exposure to the underlying security without owning the security, including, for example, cases where the Fund hopes to lock in the price today of a security it may wish to purchase in the future. Warrants generally give the holder the right, but not the obligation, to buy a security at a stated price. In order for a warrant to be profitable, the market price of the underlying security must rise sufficiently above the exercise price to cover any premium and transaction costs. Rights may similarly confer on the holder the right to purchase or acquire securities, including through participation in a so-called rights offering. Bonds may be issued with warrants or other rights attached to purchase or acquire equity or other debt securities, typically of the bond issuer. The market prices of bonds with warrants or rights attached to purchase equity securities or bonds may, to some degree, reflect changes in the values of the underlying securities.
When a Fund purchases or otherwise acquires warrants or other rights, it runs the risk that it will lose its entire investment in the warrants or rights, unless the Fund exercises the warrant or right, acquires the underlying securities, or enters into a closing transaction before expiration. If the price of the underlying security does not rise to an extent sufficient to cover any premium and transaction costs, the Fund will lose part or all of its investment. Any premiums or purchase price paid for warrants or other
254
Notes to Financial Statements (Continued) |
rights that expire are treated as realized losses. Warrants and similar rights differ from options in that they are typically written by the issuer of the security underlying the warrant or right. Although some warrants and rights may be non-transferable, others may be traded over-the-counter or on an exchange.
Hybrid Instruments
A hybrid instrument may be a debt security, preferred stock, warrant, convertible security, certificate of deposit, or other evidence of indebtedness on which a portion of or all interest payments, and/or the principal or stated amount payable at maturity, redemption, or retirement, is determined by reference to one or more underlying assets, indexes, economic factors, or other benchmarks. Because hybrid instruments may be designed to provide indirect exposures to virtually any type of derivative instrument, a Fund may invest in a hybrid instrument for any purpose it might engage in derivatives transactions. Hybrid instruments may take a number of forms, including, for example, debt instruments with interest or principal payments or redemption terms determined by reference to the value of an index, security, or other measure at a future time, preferred stock with dividend rates determined by reference to the value of a currency, or convertible securities where the conversion terms relate to a particular commodity. The risks of investing in a hybrid instrument may, depending on the nature of the instrument, reflect a combination of the risks of investing in securities, options, futures, currencies or other types of investments, and will depend upon the terms of the instrument. Such risks generally depend upon factors unrelated to the operations or credit quality of the issuer of the hybrid instrument, and may not be foreseen by the purchaser, such as financial or market developments, economic and political events, the supply and demand of the underlying assets, and interest rate movements. Hybrid instruments may be highly volatile and their use by a Fund may not be successful. The terms of a hybrid instrument may create investment leverage. Hybrid instruments are typically privately issued, presenting credit risk of the issuer, and may be highly illiquid and difficult to value.
Inflation-Linked Securities
Inflation-linked securities are typically fixed income securities whose principal values are periodically adjusted according to a measure of inflation. If the index measuring inflation falls, the principal value of an inflation-linked security will be adjusted downward, and consequently the interest payable on the security (calculated with respect to a smaller principal amount) will be reduced. Repayment of the original principal of the security upon maturity (as adjusted for inflation) is guaranteed in the case of U.S. Treasury inflation-linked securities. For securities that do not provide a similar guarantee, the adjusted principal value of the security repaid at maturity may be less than the original principal.
Alternatively, the interest rates payable on certain inflation-linked securities may be adjusted according to a measure of inflation. As a result, the principal values of such securities do not adjust according to the rate of inflation, although the interest payable on such securities may decline during times of falling inflation.
The values of inflation-linked securities are expected to change in response to changes in real interest rates. Real interest rates are tied to the relationship between nominal interest rates and the rate of inflation. If nominal interest rates increase at a faster rate than inflation, real interest rates may rise, leading to a decrease in value of inflation-linked securities. Inflation-linked securities may cause a potential cash flow mismatch to investors, because an increase in the principal amount of an inflation-linked security will be treated as interest income currently subject to tax at ordinary income rates even though investors will not receive repayment of principal until maturity. If a Fund invests in such securities, it will be required to distribute such interest income in order to qualify for treatment as a regulated investment company and eliminate the Fund-level tax, without a corresponding receipt of cash, and therefore may be required to dispose of portfolio securities at a time when it may not be advantageous to do so in order to make such distributions.
Bank Loans
A Fund may invest in bank loans including, for example, corporate loans, loan participations, direct debt, bank debt, and bridge debt. A Fund may invest in a loan by lending money to a borrower directly as part of a syndicate of lenders. In a syndicated loan, the agent that originated and structured the loan typically administers and enforces the loan on behalf of the syndicate. Failure by the agent to fulfill its obligations may delay or adversely affect receipt of payment by a Fund. A Fund may also invest in loans through novations, assignments, and participation interests. In a novation, a Fund typically assumes all of the rights of a
255
Notes to Financial Statements (Continued) |
lending institution in a loan, including the right to receive payments of principal and interest and other amounts directly from the borrower and to enforce its rights as a lender directly against the borrower. When a Fund takes an assignment of a loan, the Fund acquires some or all of the interest of another lender (or assignee) in the loan. In such cases, the Fund may be required generally to rely upon the assignor to demand payment and enforce rights under the loan. If a Fund acquires a participation in the loan, the Fund purchases an indirect interest in a loan held by a third party and the Fund typically will have a contractual relationship only with the third party loan investor, not with the borrower. As a result, a Fund may have the right to receive payments of principal, interest, and any fees to which it is entitled only from the loan investor selling the participation and only upon receipt by such loan investor of such payments from the borrower. In such cases, a Fund assumes the credit risk of both the borrower and the loan investor selling the participation, and the Fund may be unable to realize some or all of the value of its interest in the loan in the event of the insolvency of the third party.
Changes in the financial condition of the borrower or economic conditions or other circumstances may reduce the capacity of the borrower to make principal and interest payments on such instruments and may lead to defaults. The value of any collateral securing a bank loan may decline after the Fund invests, and there is a risk that the value of the collateral may not be sufficient to cover the amount owed to the Fund.
The Total Return Bond Fund and Strategic Bond Fund entered into certain loan agreements which are unfunded. The Total Return Bond Fund and Strategic Bond Fund are obligated to fund these commitments at the borrower’s discretion. These commitments are disclosed in the Total Return Bond Fund’s and Strategic Bond Fund’s Portfolio of Investments. At September 30, 2022, the Total Return Bond Fund and Strategic Bond Fund had sufficient cash and/or securities to cover these commitments.
Repurchase Agreements
Each Fund may enter into repurchase agreements with certain banks and broker-dealers whereby a Fund acquires a security for cash and obtains a simultaneous commitment from the seller to repurchase the security at an agreed upon price and date. A Fund, through its custodian, takes possession of the securities collateralizing the repurchase agreement in a segregated account. Repurchase agreements must be fully collateralized at all times, but involve some risk to a Fund if the other party should default on its obligation and the Fund is delayed or prevented from recovering the collateral, or if the Fund is required to return collateral to a borrower at a time when it may realize a loss on the investment of that collateral.
When-Issued, Delayed-Delivery, Forward Commitment, and To-Be-Announced Transactions
A Fund may enter into when-issued, delayed-delivery, forward commitment, or to-be-announced (“TBA”) transactions (collectively, the “Forward Transactions”) in order to lock in the purchase price of the underlying security, or in order to adjust the interest rate exposure of the Fund’s existing portfolio. In Forward Transactions, a Fund commits to purchase or sell particular securities, with payment and delivery to take place at a future date. In the case of TBA purchase commitments, the unit price and the estimated principal amount are established when the Fund enters into a commitment, with the actual principal amount being within a specified range of the estimate. Although a Fund does not typically pay for the securities in these types of transactions until they are delivered, it immediately assumes the risks of ownership, including the risk of price fluctuation. As a result, each of these types of transactions may create investment leverage in a Fund’s portfolio and increase the volatility of the Fund. If a Fund’s counterparty fails to deliver a security purchased in a Forward Transaction, there may be a loss, and the Fund may have missed an opportunity to make an alternative investment.
These securities are valued on the basis of valuations furnished by a pricing service, selected pursuant to procedures approved by the Trustees, which determines valuations taking into account appropriate factors such as institutional-size trading in similar groups of securities, yield, quality, coupon rate, maturity, type of issue, trading characteristics, and other market data. Securities for which no market quotation is available are valued at fair value in accordance with procedures approved by the Trustees. The Funds record on a daily basis the unrealized appreciation (depreciation) based upon changes in the values of these securities. When a Forward Transaction is closed, the Funds record a realized gain or loss equal to the difference between the value of the transaction at the time it was opened and the value of the transaction at the time it was closed.
256
Notes to Financial Statements (Continued) |
Dollar Roll Transactions
A Fund may enter into dollar roll transactions, in which the Fund sells mortgage-backed securities for delivery in the current month and simultaneously contracts to purchase substantially similar securities on a specified future date from the same party. A Fund may invest in dollar rolls in order to benefit from anticipated changes in pricing for the mortgage-backed securities during the term of the transaction, or for the purpose of creating investment leverage. In a dollar roll, the securities that are to be purchased will be of the same type as the securities sold, but will be supported by different pools of mortgages.
Dollar rolls involve the risk that the Fund’s counterparty will be unable to deliver the mortgage-backed securities underlying the dollar roll at the fixed time. If the counterparty files for bankruptcy or becomes insolvent, a Fund’s use of the transaction proceeds may be restricted pending a determination by the counterparty or its representative, whether to enforce the Fund’s obligation to repurchase the securities. A Fund can incur a loss on a dollar roll transaction (either because its counterparty fails to perform or because the value of the mortgages subject to the transaction declines) and on the investments made by the Fund with the proceeds of the dollar roll transaction.
A Fund accounts for a dollar roll transaction as a purchase and sale whereby the difference in the sales price and purchase price of the security sold is recorded as a realized gain (loss). If certain criteria are met, these dollar roll transactions may be considered financing transactions, whereby the difference in the sales price and the future purchase price is recorded as an adjustment to interest income. Dollar roll transactions generally have the effect of creating leverage in a Fund’s portfolio.
Securities Lending
Each Fund may lend its securities; however, lending cannot exceed 33% of the total assets of the Fund taken at current value. The Funds’ securities lending activities are governed by a Securities Lending Agency Agreement (“Lending Agreement”) between each Fund and the lending agent (“Agent”). The Lending Agreement authorizes the Agent to lend portfolio securities held by a Fund to approved borrowers (each, a “Borrower”).
Each Fund expects that in connection with any securities on loan, the loan will be secured continuously by collateral consisting of cash (U.S. currency) and/or securities (U.S. Treasury and Agency obligations) adjusted daily to have value at least equal to the current market value of the securities loaned. The market value of the loaned securities is determined at the close of business of a Fund and any additional collateral is delivered to the Fund the next business day. The Funds bear the risk of loss with respect to the investment of cash collateral. As with other extensions of credit, the Funds may bear the risk of delay in recovery of the loaned securities or even loss of rights in the collateral should the Borrower of the securities fail financially. Pursuant to the Lending Agreement, the Agent has provided indemnification to the Funds in the event of default by a Borrower with respect to a loan. The Funds receive compensation for lending their securities in the form of a securities loan fee paid by the Borrower, as well as a share of the income earned on investment of the cash collateral received for the loaned securities. At September 30, 2022, the Funds’ collateral was equal to or greater than 100% of the market value of securities on loan and all of the Funds’ cash collateral was invested in the State Street Navigator Securities Lending Government Money Market Portfolio.
Subject to the terms of the Lending Agreement and the agreement between the Agent and the applicable Borrower (“Borrowing Agreement”), security loans can be terminated by the Agent, the Fund, or the Borrower and the related securities must be returned within the earlier of the customary settlement period for such securities or the period of time specified in the Borrowing Agreement.
The Funds employ the Agent to implement their securities lending program and the Agent receives a fee from the Funds for its services. In addition, the Funds may be required to pay a rebate to the Borrower. Accordingly, a Fund’s compensation for lending its securities is reduced by any such fees or rebate paid to the Agent or Borrower, respectively. Income received by the Funds in securities lending transactions during the year ended September 30, 2022, is reflected as securities lending income on the Statement of Operations.
257

Accounting for Investment Transactions
Investment transactions are accounted for on the trade date. Realized gains and losses on sales of investments and unrealized appreciation and depreciation of investments are computed by the specific identification cost method. Proceeds received from litigation, if any, are included in realized gains on investment transactions for any investments that are no longer held in the portfolio and as a reduction in cost for investments that continue to be held in the portfolio. Interest income, adjusted for amortization of discounts and premiums on debt securities, is earned from the settlement date and is recorded on the accrual basis. Dividend income and realized capital gain distributions are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Withholding taxes on foreign interest, dividends, and capital gains have been provided for in accordance with the applicable country’s tax rules and rates. Foreign dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date or as soon as practicable after the Fund determines the existence of a dividend declaration after exercising reasonable due diligence. Distributions received on securities that represent a return of capital or capital gains are recorded as a reduction of cost of investments and/or as a realized gain.
Foreign Currency Translation
The books and records of the Funds are maintained in U.S. dollars. The market values of foreign currencies, foreign securities, and other assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars at the mean of the buying and selling rates of such currencies against the U.S. dollar at the end of each business day. Purchases and sales of foreign securities and income and expense items are translated at the rates of exchange prevailing on the respective dates of such transactions. The Funds do not isolate that portion of the results of operations arising from changes in the exchange rates from that portion arising from changes in the market prices of securities. Net realized foreign currency gains and losses resulting from changes in exchange rates include foreign currency gains and losses between trade date and settlement date on investment securities transactions, foreign currency transactions, and the difference between the amounts of dividends or interest recorded on the books of the Funds and the amount actually received.
Allocation of Operating Activity
In maintaining the records for the Funds, the income and expense accounts are allocated daily to each class of shares. Investment income and loss, and unrealized and realized gains or losses are prorated among the classes of shares based on the relative net assets of each. Expenses are allocated to each class of shares depending on the nature of the expenditures. Administration and service fees, if any, which are directly attributable to a class of shares, are charged to that class’s operations. Expenses of a Fund not directly attributable to the operations of any specific class of shares of the Fund are prorated among the classes to which the expense relates based on relative net assets or another alternative method.
Foreign Securities
Each of the Overseas Fund and MM Select T. Rowe Price International Equity Fund invests substantially all of its assets in foreign securities. The other Funds may also invest in foreign securities. Foreign securities, including American Depositary Receipts, are subject to additional risks compared to securities of U.S. issuers, including international trade, currency, political, regulatory, public health, and diplomatic risks. In addition, fluctuations in currency exchange rates may favorably or unfavorably affect the values of foreign securities and the price of a Fund’s shares. Emerging markets securities are subject to greater risks than securities issued in developed foreign markets, including less liquidity, less stringent investor protection and disclosure standards, less reliable settlement practices, greater price volatility, higher relative rates of inflation, greater political, economic, and social instability, greater custody and operational risks, greater risk of new or inconsistent government treatment of or restrictions on issuers and instruments, and greater volatility in currency exchange rates, and are more susceptible to environmental problems.
Federal Income Tax
It is each Fund’s intent to continue to comply with the provisions of Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), applicable to a regulated investment company. Under such provisions, the Funds would not be subject to federal income taxes on their ordinary income and net realized capital gains to the extent they are distributed or deemed to have been distributed to their shareholders. Therefore, the Funds have not made any provision for federal income tax.
258
Notes to Financial Statements (Continued) |
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. As a result, net investment income and net realized capital gains on investment transactions for a reporting period may differ significantly from distributions during such period.

These adjustments have no impact on net assets or the results of operations. Temporary book and tax accounting differences will reverse in subsequent periods. At September 30, 2022, temporary book and tax accounting differences were primarily attributable to the deferral of wash sale losses, deferred Trustee compensation, and other temporary basis adjustments.

The Funds did not have any unrecognized tax benefits at September 30, 2022, nor were there any increases or decreases in unrecognized tax benefits for the year then ended. The Funds recognize interest and penalties, if any, related to unrecognized tax benefits as an income tax expense in the Statements of Operations. During the year ended September 30, 2022, the Funds did not incur any such interest or penalties. The Funds are subject to examination by U.S. federal and state tax authorities for returns filed for the prior three fiscal years. Foreign taxes are provided for based on the Funds’ understanding of the tax rules and rates that exist in the foreign markets in which they invest.
7. Indemnifications
Under the Funds’ organizational documents, current and former Trustees and Officers are provided with specified rights to indemnification against liabilities arising in connection with the performance of their duties to the Funds, and shareholders are indemnified against personal liability for obligations of the Funds. In the normal course of business, the Funds may also enter into contracts that provide general indemnifications. The Funds’ maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would be dependent on future claims that may be made against the Funds. The risk of material loss from such claims is considered remote.
8. New Accounting Pronouncements
In January 2021, FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2021-01 — Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848) — Scope (“ASU 2021-01”) as an update to Accounting Standards Update 2020-04 — Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848) — Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting (“ASU 2020-04”) in order to make certain clarifications. ASU 2020-04 and ASU 2021-01 provide optional temporary financial reporting relief from the effect of certain types of contract modifications due to the planned discontinuation of the London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) and other interbank-offered based reference rates. The temporary relief provided by ASU 2020-04 and ASU 2021-01 is effective for certain reference rate-related contract modifications that occur during the period March 12, 2020 through December 31, 2022. Management does not believe the impact of adopting ASU 2020-04 and ASU 2021-01 will have a material impact on the financial statements.
In June 2022, FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2022-03 — Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820) — Fair Value Measurement of Equity Securities Subject to Contractual Sale Restrictions (“ASU 2022-03”). ASU 2022-03 clarifies the guidance in Topic 820 to indicate that a contractual sale restriction should not be considered in the fair value of an equity security subject to such a restriction, and requires entities with investments in equity securities subject to contractual sale restrictions to disclose certain qualitative and quantitative information about such securities. ASU 2022-03 is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2023, and allows for early adoption. ASU 2022-03 will only be applicable to an equity security in which the contractual arrangement that restricts its sale is executed or modified on or after the adoption date. Management is currently evaluating the impact of applying this update.

9. Coronavirus (COVID-19) Pandemic
The global pandemic outbreak of the novel coronavirus known as COVID-19 and efforts to contain its spread have produced, and will likely continue to produce, substantial market volatility, severe market dislocations and liquidity constraints in many markets, exchange trading suspensions and closures, higher default rates, and global business disruption, and they may result in future significant adverse effects, such as declines in global financial markets and a substantial economic downturn or recession throughout the world. Such factors may have a significant adverse effect on a Fund’s performance and have the potential to impair the ability of a Fund’s investment adviser, subadviser, or other service providers to serve the Fund and could lead to disruptions that negatively impact the Fund.
10. Russia-Ukraine War
In February 2022, Russia commenced a large-scale military attack on Ukraine. The outbreak of hostilities between the two countries could result in more widespread conflict and could have a severe adverse effect on the regional and the global financial markets and economies. One or more of the Funds hold positions in securities or other instruments that are economically tied to Russia. Investments in Russia are subject to political, economic, legal, market, and currency risks, as well as the risks related to the economic sanctions on Russia, Russian individuals, and Russian corporate and banking entities imposed by the United States and/or other countries. Such sanctions — which affect companies in many sectors, including energy, financial services, and defense, among others — could adversely affect the global energy and financial markets and, thus, could affect the value of a Fund’s investments, even beyond any direct exposure the Fund may have to Russian issuers or the adjoining geographic regions. Such sanctions may also result in a decline in the value and liquidity of Russian securities and a weakening of the ruble, and will impair a Fund’s ability to buy, sell, receive, or deliver Russian securities. In addition, certain transactions have been or may be prohibited and/or existing investments have or may become illiquid (e.g., because transacting in certain existing investments is prohibited), which could cause a Fund to sell other portfolio holdings at a disadvantageous time or price in order to meet shareholder redemptions.

In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Funds, as of September 30, 2022, 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 the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended (except for the MassMutual Select T. Rowe Price International Equity Fund’s financial highlights which are for each of the four years in the period then ended and the period February 9, 2018 (commencement of operations) to September 30, 2018), in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Basis for Opinion
These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Funds’ management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Funds’ financial statements and financial highlights based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Funds in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. 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, whether due to error or fraud. The Funds are not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of their internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Funds’ internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.
Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements and financial highlights, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements and financial highlights. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating

the overall presentation of the financial statements and financial highlights. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of September 30, 2022, by correspondence with the custodian, brokers and agent banks; when replies were not received from brokers or agent banks, we performed other auditing procedures. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Trustees’ Approval of Investment Advisory Contracts
At their meetings in May and June 2022, the Contract Committee (the “Committee”) and the Trustees, including the Trustees who are not “interested persons” (as such term is defined in the 1940 Act) of the Trust, MML Advisers, or the subadvisers (the “Independent Trustees”), re-approved the existing advisory and subadvisory agreements (collectively, the “Contracts”) for each of the Total Return Bond Fund, Strategic Bond Fund, Diversified Value Fund, Fundamental Value Fund, S&P 500 Index Fund, Equity Opportunities Fund, Fundamental Growth Fund, Blue Chip Growth Fund, Growth Opportunities Fund, Mid Cap Value Fund, Small Cap Value Equity Fund, Small Company Value Fund, Mid Cap Growth Fund, Small Cap Growth Equity Fund, Overseas Fund, and MM Select T. Rowe Price International Equity Fund. In preparation for the meetings, the Trustees requested, and MML Advisers and the subadvisers provided in advance, certain materials relevant to the consideration of the Contracts (the “Meeting Materials”). In all of their deliberations, the Trustees were advised by independent counsel.
The Committee received in advance of the meetings (i) a memorandum from MML Advisers discussing the nature and quality of the services it provides as investment adviser to the Funds; (ii) a profitability analysis prepared by MML Advisers; and (iii) a fee and performance study report (the “Third-Party Report”) with respect to each Fund prepared by an independent third-party vendor (the “Third-Party”). The Third-Party Report provided detailed comparative advisory fee, total expense, and performance information for each Fund to assist the Committee in its evaluation of the Contracts. The Committee also considered information presented to it throughout the year regarding MML Advisers and each of the subadvisers.
The Committee considered the nature, scope, and quality of services MML Advisers provides to the Funds, including: (i) the financial condition, stability, and business strategy of MML Advisers; (ii) the capabilities of MML Advisers with respect to regulatory compliance and its ability to monitor compliance with the investment policies of the Funds; (iii) MML Advisers’ ability to provide investment oversight and provide for administrative and shareholder services to the Funds; and (iv) the experience and qualifications of the personnel of MML Advisers that perform, or oversee the performance of, the services provided to the Funds, and the needs of the Funds for administrative and shareholder services. The Committee noted that it had received in the Meeting Materials or during the course of the past year: (i) detailed information regarding MML Advisers’ ability to provide investment oversight and provide for administrative and shareholder services to the Funds; and (ii) a wide range of information about the subadvisers and their personnel with responsibility for providing services to the Funds and the fees payable to each subadviser by MML Advisers. MML Advisers reviewed with the Committee in detail the work MML Advisers does in its oversight roles, the expertise it brings to these roles, the size of its teams, and the financial commitment it has made to provide those services.
The Committee then reviewed and considered, for each Fund separately, the detailed information presented in the Third-Party Report regarding: (i) Fund expenses, including, among other things, both the Fund’s net advisory fee and total net expense ratio against peer funds; and (ii) the Fund’s relative performance (over various time periods against funds in its “category” and a benchmark index). In connection with the Committee’s review, MML Advisers provided commentary and analysis regarding each Fund’s expenses and performance and a recommendation as to the action to be taken by the Committee. Throughout the discussion, MML Advisers responded to Committee members’ questions and provided additional information concerning each Fund.
289
Other Information (Unaudited) (Continued) |
The Committee reviewed the expense and performance information for each Fund. (References to any one- or three-year period below are to periods ended December 31, 2021. In all cases, the comparative expense information is that of a Fund’s “peer group” and the comparative performance information is that of a Fund’s “performance category.”)
The Committee considered that the total net expense ratios for all but one of the Funds were at or within the top fifty percent of their peer groups, and in most cases in the top forty percent. All of the Funds with total net expense ratios at or below the 50th comparative percentile of their peer groups had net advisory fees below the medians of their peer groups, or within the top three comparative quintiles of their peer groups, except the Small Company Value Fund, Overseas Fund, Fundamental Value Fund, Equity Opportunities Fund, and Growth Opportunities Fund, the levels of whose net advisory fees the Committee did not consider to be inconsistent with the advisory agreements’ continuation, in light of the Funds’ generally acceptable total net expense ratios and/or general favorable investment performance over time. In their consideration of these Funds, the Committee took into account MML Advisers’ proposal to implement a five basis point contractual advisory fee waiver for the Fundamental Growth Fund, which MML Advisers believes will improve the Fund’s total net expense profile, as well as the advisory fee waivers and expense caps currently in place for certain Funds.
The Small Cap Value Equity Fund has a total net expense ratio higher than the 60th comparative percentile of its peer group. The Committee considered MML Advisers’ statement that although the Fund’s total net expense ratio and net advisory fee were each at the 67th comparative percentile of its peer group, the Fund’s total net expense ratio was only four basis points above the peer group median.
The Committee determined on the basis of these factors that the levels of the Funds’ net advisory fees, and the total net expenses of the Funds generally, were consistent with the continuation of their advisory agreements.
The Committee considered that the large majority of the Funds achieved three-year investment performance above the medians of their performance categories, or at or within the top sixty percent of their performance categories, except those Funds referred to below.
The Committee considered that each of the Fundamental Growth Fund, Small Cap Value Equity Fund, Diversified Value Fund, and Fundamental Value Fund had experienced three-year investment performance outside the top sixty percent of its performance category. The Committee considered MML Advisers’ statement that a contributor to the underperformance of the first three of those Funds was a relatively low exposure to high-growth stocks during recent high-growth equity markets, particularly in 2020, due to a general value-investing orientation of their subadvisers, and MML Advisers’ confidence in each Fund’s investment strategy and subadviser(s) over time. The Committee also noted that the Diversified Value Fund had experienced favorable performance for the one-year period, at the 27th comparative percentile of its performance category. As to the Fundamental Value Fund, the Committee considered MML Advisers’ statements that the Fund’s performance for the three-year period had been less than one percentage point below the median of its performance category, and that the Fund’s performance had improved for the one-year period to the 29th comparative percentile of its performance category.
As to the Equity Opportunities Fund, Mid Cap Value Fund, and Mid Cap Growth Fund, the Committee noted that each Fund had experienced three-year investment performance outside the top sixty percent of its performance category. The Committee considered MML Advisers’ statement that each Fund’s underperformance was due in part to the Fund’s lower risk profile during a period in which investors preferred higher momentum, more speculative stocks. The Committee also noted that each of the Equity Opportunities Fund and Mid Cap Growth Fund ranked in the top half of its respective performance category for six of the last 10 years, and that the Mid Cap Growth Fund experienced improved performance for the one-year period to the 42nd percentile of its performance category. As to the Mid Cap Value Fund, the Committee noted that the Fund had experienced a subadviser change in the past year, which MML Advisers believes should lead to improving performance. As to the Blue Chip Growth Fund, the Committee noted that the Fund had experienced performance for the one- and three-year periods in the 71st and 80th comparative percentiles of its performance category, respectively. The Committee considered MML Advisers’ statements that the Fund’s longer-term performance is competitive, with the Fund ranking in the 56th and 22nd comparative percentiles of its performance category for the five- and ten-year periods, respectively, and that a relatively narrow set of stocks was an outsized contributor to the Fund’s more recent underperformance. The Committee also noted MML Advisers’ positive opinion on the Fund’s new lead portfolio manager.

The Committee also reviewed and considered information included in the Meeting Materials, or discussed at the meeting and during the course of the year, concerning economies of scale and the profitability of MML Advisers’ advisory relationship with the various Funds, including: (i) a description of MML Advisers’ revenues from the Funds (including advisory fees and administrative and shareholder services fees, as applicable) and the expense allocation methodology employed by MML Advisers; and (ii) profitability information for each individual Fund. The discussions included consideration of the intangible benefits derived by MML Advisers and its affiliates resulting from their relationships with the Funds and any so-called “fallout benefits” to MML Advisers (which were not considered to be substantial in any event), such as any reputational value derived from serving as investment adviser to the Funds, and benefits accruing to subadvisers due to so-called “soft-dollar arrangements.”
Prior to the votes being taken to approve the Contracts, the Committee met separately in executive session to discuss the appropriateness of such contracts. The Committee weighed the foregoing matters in light of the advice given to them by their independent legal counsel as to the law applicable to the review of investment advisory contracts. In arriving at a decision, the Committee did not identify any single matter as all-important or controlling. The foregoing summary does not detail all of the matters considered.
As to each of the Funds, the Committee concluded that: (i) overall, it was satisfied with the nature, extent, and quality of services provided, and expected to be provided in the future, under the Contracts, including the level of MML Advisers’ oversight of each Fund and the subadvisory process; (ii) MML Advisers’ levels of profitability from its relationship with the various Funds are not excessive and the advisory fees payable under the advisory agreements and each Fund’s total net expenses are fair and reasonable; (iii) the investment processes, research capabilities, and philosophies of the subadvisers generally appear well suited to the Funds, given their investment objectives and policies; (iv) either the relative or absolute performance of a Fund (in each case, taking into account the applicable investment strategy and risk profile of the Fund), or the steps MML Advisers has proposed in respect of the underperformance of a Fund, are sufficient to warrant continuation of the Contracts for each of the Funds; and (v) the terms of the Contracts are fair and reasonable with respect to each Fund and are in the best interests of each Fund’s shareholders.

Fund Expenses September 30, 2022
Expense Examples:
The following information is in regards to expenses for the six months ended September 30, 2022:
As a shareholder of the Funds, you may incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) on purchase payments or redemptions; and (2) ongoing costs, including advisory fees, distribution and/or service (12b-1) 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 months ended September 30, 2022.
Actual Expenses:
The first four columns of the table below provide information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use this information, 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 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 last two columns of the table below provide 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 table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs. Therefore, the last two columns of the table are useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

MassMutual Funds Annual Report – President’s Letter to Shareholders (Unaudited) |
To Our
Shareholders
Paul LaPiana
“At MassMutual, our goal is to help you build the future you want for yourself and your family. We want to help you with your retirement plans today, so you can feel more comfortable about tomorrow.”
September 30, 2022
Continued market volatility challenges retirement investors
I am pleased to present you with the MassMutual Funds Annual Report. During the fiscal year ended September 30, 2022, U.S. stocks were down over 15%, with investors concerned that stimulus-fueled recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic was over and that domestic monetary policy had turned toward combating heightened inflation. Stocks in foreign developed markets and emerging markets also experienced significant losses in the fiscal year, hurt by elevated energy prices, a strengthening U.S. dollar, and concerns that consumer spending and corporate earnings growth would slow. U.S. bond investors experienced negative returns in the rising interest rate environment, fueled by aggressive interest rate hikes by the U.S. Federal Reserve Board that were aimed at reducing demand-driven inflationary pressures.
Suggestions for retirement investors under any market conditions
● | You are likely in it for the long term. Retirement planning involves what financial professionals refer to as “long-term investing,” since most people save and invest for retirement throughout their working years. Even in retirement, many individuals will systematically withdraw their retirement savings over a number of years, keeping a portion of their funds invested. Although the financial markets will go up and down, individuals who take a long-term approach to investing don’t focus on current headlines – because they realize that they have time to ride out the downturns. |
● | Keep contributing. While you have no control over the investment markets, you can control how often and how much you contribute to your retirement account. Saving as much as possible and increasing your contributions regularly is one way retirement investors can help boost their retirement savings, regardless of the performance of the stock and bond markets. |
● | Invest continually.1 Financial professionals often advise their clients to stay in the market, regardless of short-term results. Here’s why: Those who can invest in all market conditions have the potential to be rewarded even during market downturns, when more favorable prices may enable them to accumulate larger positions. |
● | Monitor your asset allocation and diversify. Stocks, bonds, and short-term/money market investments are asset classes that tend to behave differently, depending upon the economic and market environment. These broad asset classes contain an even greater array of asset sub-categories (such as small-cap stocks, international stocks, and high-yield bonds). Most financial professionals agree that investors can take advantage of different opportunities in the market and reduce the risk of over-exposure to one or two poorly performing asset types by selecting a number of investments that represent a mix of asset classes and sub-categories. |
Is this a good time to track your progress?
If you work with a financial professional, you may wish to consider checking in with him or her to help you determine if:
● | you are saving enough for retirement – and, if in retirement, you are withdrawing an appropriate amount each year, based on your personal circumstances; |
1 Systematic investing and asset allocation do not ensure a profit or protect against loss in a declining market. Systematic investing involves continuous investment in securities regardless of fluctuating price levels. Investors should consider their ability to continue investing through periods of low price levels.
(Continued)

● | your retirement account is invested appropriately for all market conditions, based on your goals and objectives, as well as your investment time horizon; and |
● | you are taking steps to help reduce your longevity risk, which is the chance that you could “run out” of retirement savings during your lifetime. |
Get to where you want to be
At MassMutual, our goal is to help you build the future you want for yourself and your family. We want to help you with your retirement plans today, so you can feel more comfortable about tomorrow. That’s why we continue to encourage you to maintain perspective when it comes to retirement investing, regardless of any headline-making events. MassMutual’s view is that changing market conditions have the potential to reward patient investors. Thank you for your continued confidence and trust in MassMutual.
Sincerely,

MassMutual Funds Annual Report – Economic and Market Overview (Unaudited) |
September 30, 2022
Continued market volatility challenges retirement investors
During the fiscal year ended September 30, 2022, U.S. stocks were down over 15%, with investors concerned that stimulus-fueled recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic was over and that domestic monetary policy had turned toward combating heightened inflation. Stocks in foreign developed markets and emerging markets also experienced significant losses in the fiscal year, hurt by elevated energy prices, a strengthening U.S. dollar, and concerns that consumer spending and corporate earnings growth would slow. U.S. bond investors experienced negative returns in the rising interest rate environment, fueled by aggressive interest rate hikes by the U.S. Federal Reserve Board (the “Fed”) that were aimed at reducing demand-driven inflationary pressures.
Market Highlights
● | For the reporting period from October 1, 2021 through September 30, 2022, U.S. stocks were down over 15%, in a market environment where the Fed aggressively raised interest rates in an effort to combat heightened inflation. |
● | In the fourth quarter of 2021, expectations for strong economic and earnings growth in 2022, bolstered by the possibility of a $2 trillion economic stimulus and social spending plan, allowed investors to look past sharp increases in COVID-19 Omicron variant cases and heightened inflationary pressures. |
● | In the first quarter of 2022, investors in both stocks and bonds were challenged by a sharp rise in energy prices after Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, a stalled domestic economic stimulus plan, and the Fed raising interest rates for the first time since 2018. |
● | The second quarter of 2022 was another difficult quarter, as Fed interest rate hikes, investor concerns over high inflation, and concern about the potential of an impending global recession dominated the narrative. |
● | The third quarter of 2022 was an extension of the difficult second quarter, with continued inflationary pressures, weakening economic data, and aggressive Fed interest rate hikes. |
● | Foreign stocks in developed markets and emerging markets also experienced losses in the fiscal year, against the backdrop of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine (and the resulting economic sanctions that kept energy prices elevated), the strengthening U.S. dollar, and threatened consumer spending and corporate earnings growth. |
● | U.S. bond investors experienced negative returns in the rising interest rate environment, fueled by an increase in short-term interest rates, heighted inflationary pressures, and the reversal of monetary and fiscal policy support. |
Market Environment
For the fiscal year beginning on October 1, 2021, global stock investors experienced significant losses. U.S. stocks fell sharply in the period in response, with the S&P 500 Index® (“S&P 500”)1 entering bear market territory after declining more than 20% from its previous highs. Investors sought safety from high inflation, rising interest rates, and the increasing possibility of a recession. Consumer sentiment fell sharply, down 17.2% in the period2, as high inflation – driven by rising energy, food, and housing costs – overwhelmed low unemployment and strong wage growth. As of August 2022, more Americans are borrowing to make ends meet in these inflationary times, resulting in consumer loan levels at record highs, having increased by 12.4% year-over-year3.
1 The S&P 500 Index measures the performance of 500 widely held stocks in the U.S. equity market. Standard and Poor’s chooses member companies for the index based on market size, liquidity, and industry group representation. Included are the stocks of industrial, financial, utility, and transportation companies. Since mid-1989, this composition has been more flexible and the number of issues in each sector has varied. It is market capitalization-weighted. The Index does not reflect any deduction for fees, expenses, or taxes and cannot be purchased directly by investors.

As a result, the broad market S&P 500 fell 15.47% for the period. The technology-heavy NASDAQ Composite Index4 performed even worse, dropping 26.25%. The more economically sensitive Dow Jones Industrial AverageSM5 was down 13.40%. During the reporting period, small-cap stocks underperformed their larger-cap peers, while value stocks outperformed their growth brethren. The communication services, consumer discretionary, and information technology sectors were all down by 20% or more. The energy sector was the strongest performer for the fiscal year, up 45.70%, aided by an 18% increase in the price of West Texas Intermediate (WTI) crude oil. The utilities sector also ended the period positively, gaining 5.58% for the period.
Developed international markets, as measured by the MSCI EAFE® Index6, trailed their domestic peers, ending the fiscal year down 25.13%. Emerging-market stocks, as measured by the MSCI Emerging Markets Index7, also fell sharply, ending down 28.11% for the period. Investors sold off developed international and emerging-market stocks on concerns that higher interest rates and commodity prices would impair consumer spending and corporate earnings growth.
Bond yields rose sharply during the fiscal year, with the 10-year U.S. Treasury bond yield rising from a low of 1.52% on October 1, 2021 to close the period at 3.83%. Rising yields generally produce falling bond prices; consequently, bond index returns suffered. The Bloomberg U.S. Aggregate Bond Index8 ended the period down 14.60%. Investment-grade corporate bonds fared even worse. The Bloomberg U.S. Corporate Bond Index9, which tracks investment-grade corporate bonds, ended the period with an 18.53% loss. The Bloomberg U.S. Corporate High-Yield Bond Index10 also ended in negative territory, declining 14.14% for the period.
4 The NASDAQ Composite Index measures the performance of all domestic and international based common type stocks listed on the NASDAQ Stock Market.

The Index does not reflect any deduction for fees, expenses, or taxes and cannot be purchased directly by investors.
5 The Dow Jones Industrial Average Index measures the performance of stocks of 30 U.S. blue-chip companies covering all industries with the exception of transportation and utilities. It is price-weighted. The Index does not reflect any deduction for fees or expenses and cannot be purchased directly by investors.

It is free float-adjusted market-capitalization weighted. The Index does not reflect any deduction for fees or expenses and cannot be purchased directly by investors.
7 The MSCI Emerging Markets Index measures the performance of the large- and mid-cap segments of emerging market equity securities. It is free float-adjusted market-capitalization weighted. The Index does not reflect any deduction for fees or expenses and cannot be purchased directly by investors.
8 The Bloomberg U.S. Aggregate Bond Index measures the performance of investment grade, U.S. dollar-denominated, fixed-rate taxable bond market securities, including Treasuries, government-related and corporate securities, mortgage-backed securities (MBS) (agency fixed-rate and hybrid ARM pass-throughs), asset-backed securities (ABS), and commercial mortgage-backed securities (CMBS). It rolls up into other Bloomberg flagship indexes, such as the multi-currency Global Aggregate Index and the U.S. Universal Index, which includes high yield and emerging markets debt. The Index does not reflect any deduction for fees, expenses, or taxes and cannot be purchased directly by investors.
9 The Bloomberg U.S. Corporate Bond Index measures the performance of the investment grade, U.S. dollar-denominated, fixed-rate, taxable corporate bond market. It includes U.S. dollar-denominated securities publicly issued by U.S. and non-U.S. industrial, utility, and financial issuers that meet specified maturity, liquidity, and quality requirements. The Index does not reflect any deduction for fees, expenses, or taxes and cannot be purchased directly by investors.
10 The Bloomberg U.S. Corporate High-Yield Bond Index measures the performance of U.S. dollar-denominated, non-investment grade, fixed-rate, taxable corporate bonds, including corporate bonds, fixed-rate bullet, putable, and callable bonds, SEC Rule 144A securities, original issue zeros, pay-in-kind bonds, fixed-rate and fixed-to-floating capital securities.

MassMutual Target Allocation Funds – Portfolio Manager Report (Unaudited) |
What are the investment approaches of the Funds that constitute the MassMutual Target Allocation Series, and who is the Series’ investment adviser?
The MassMutual (“MM”) Target Allocation Series (the “Series”) comprises four Funds – each of which has a “fund of funds” structure. The four Funds are MM 20/80 Allocation Fund, MM 40/60 Allocation Fund, MM 60/40 Allocation Fund, and MM 80/20 Allocation Fund. All Funds in the Series seek to achieve as high a total return over time as is considered consistent with prudent investment risk, preservation of capital, and recognition of the Funds’ stated asset allocation.
Each Fund seeks to achieve its investment objective by investing in a combination of U.S. domestic and international mutual funds (“Underlying Funds”) using an asset allocation strategy. Underlying Funds will include a combination of MassMutual Funds (advised by MML Investment Advisers, LLC (MML Advisers), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Massachusetts Mutual Life Insurance Company (MassMutual)), and may also include other, non-affiliated mutual funds. The Underlying Funds may invest in various asset classes, including equity securities, fixed income securities, and money market instruments. Underlying Funds may also invest some or all of their assets in commodities or commodities-related investments. The Series’ investment adviser is MML Advisers.
Each Fund’s assets are allocated among its Underlying Funds according to an asset allocation strategy, as follows:
● | MM 20/80 Allocation Fund: The Fund typically invests approximately 20% of its assets in equity and similar funds and approximately 80% in fixed income funds, including money market funds. |
● | MM 40/60 Allocation Fund: The Fund typically invests approximately 40% of its assets in equity and similar funds and approximately 60% in fixed income funds, including money market funds. |
● | MM 60/40 Allocation Fund: The Fund typically invests approximately 60% of its assets in equity and similar funds and approximately 40% in fixed income funds, including money market funds. |
● | MM 80/20 Allocation Fund: The Fund typically invests approximately 80% of its assets in equity and similar funds and approximately 20% in fixed income funds, including money market funds. |
How did each Fund perform during the 12 months ended September 30, 2022?
The return of each Fund’s Class R5 shares is shown below in comparison to the Lipper Balanced Fund Index, an unmanaged, equally weighted index of the 30 largest mutual funds within the Lipper Balanced Category; the Bloomberg U.S. Aggregate Bond Index, which measures the performance of investment grade, U.S. dollar-denominated, fixed-rate taxable bond market securities, including Treasuries, government-related and corporate securities, mortgage-backed securities (MBS) (agency fixed-rate and hybrid ARM pass-throughs), asset-backed securities (ABS), and commercial mortgage-backed securities (CMBS); and the S&P 500® Index, which measures the performance of 500 widely held stocks in the U.S. equity market.
| Fund’s Class R5 Shares Return | Lipper Balanced Fund Index Return | Bloomberg U.S. Aggregate Bond Index Return | S&P 500 Index Return |
MM 20/80 Allocation Fund | -15.64% | -15.90 % | -14.60%* | -15.47% |
MM 40/60 Allocation Fund | -16.37% | -15.90 % | -14.60% | -15.47%* |
MM 60/40 Allocation Fund | -16.53% | -15.90 % | -14.60% | -15.47%* |
MM 80/20 Allocation Fund | -17.91% | -15.90 % | -14.60% | -15.47%* |
For the year ended September 30, 2022, all of the MM Target Allocation Series Funds underperformed the Bloomberg U.S. Aggregate Bond Index. The MM 20/80 Allocation Fund outperformed the Lipper Balanced Fund Index, whereas the other three Funds underperformed. Finally, all of the Funds underperformed the S&P 500 Index.

Investment adviser discussion of factors that contributed to the Funds’ performance
For the fiscal year ending September 30, 2022, global stock investors experienced significant losses. U.S. equities fell sharply in response, with the S&P 500 Index entering bear market territory after declining more than 20% from its previous highs. U.S. fixed income was also down sharply, as monetary tightening by the U.S. Federal Reserve to fight inflation drove interest rates significantly higher, increasing the possibility of a recession. As a result, the Series’ allocation to equities versus fixed income was only a small performance driver. Allocations within markets made more of a difference to the Series’ performance, as U.S. equities outperformed international developed- and emerging-market equities by a wide margin, and U.S. large-cap equities outperformed U.S. small-cap stocks. U.S. value equities outperformed their U.S. growth counterparts, and shorter-duration bonds outperformed their longer-duration counterparts. Duration is a measure of a fixed income investment’s sensitivity to interest rates. The longer the duration, the greater the price impact on the bond or portfolio when interest rates rise or fall.
Throughout the fiscal year, the Funds maintained a neutral position relative to overall risk, which had little impact on performance. The Funds’ positions in international bonds and U.S. small- and mid-cap equities detracted from performance, while their positions in commodities and shorter-duration bonds contributed. An underweight position in international developed- and emerging-market equities contributed to performance. Those Series Funds with higher equity allocations – the MM 80/20 Allocation, MM 60/40 Allocation, and MM 40/60 Allocation Funds – underperformed their counterpart with a higher fixed income allocation, the MM 20/80 Allocation Fund.
Manager selection of Underlying Funds contributed to overall performance in the 12-month period ending September 30, 2022. Strong performance by the MassMutual Equity Opportunities, MassMutual Fundamental Value, MassMutual Diversified Value, and MassMutual International Equity Funds was a significant driver of outperformance. Weak performance by the MassMutual Blue Chip Growth, MassMutual Strategic Emerging Markets, MassMutual Strategic Bond, and MassMutual Core Bonds Funds detracted from performance. There were no changes to the Underlying Funds during the year.
Investment adviser outlook
Despite the stock market sell-off in 2022, MML Advisers views the stock markets as extended and valuations high relative to market history. While, in MML Advisers’ observation, the prospect of positive economic and corporate earnings growth supports a bull case, MML Advisers believes that more clarity on the persistency of inflation, labor costs, China’s COVID-19 policy, and the impact of monetary policy tightening is needed for the allocation to stocks to increase. Against this backdrop, MML Advisers believes that diversification across global assets could be a sensible approach for what Fund management believes could be a bumpy ride. Looking ahead to 2023, Fund management expects to closely monitor how trends unfold as they manage the positioning of each Fund within the Series.

MassMutual RetireSMARTSM by JPMorgan (target-date) Funds – Portfolio Manager Report (Unaudited) |
What are the investment approaches of the Funds that constitute the MassMutual RetireSMARTSM by JPMorgan (target date) Series, and who are the Series’ investment adviser and subadviser?
The MassMutual (“MM”) RetireSMART by JPMorgan (target date) Series (the “Series”) comprises 10 Funds – each of which has a “fund of funds” structure.
The 10 Funds are MM RetireSMART by JPMorgan In Retirement Fund, MM RetireSMART by JPMorgan 2020 Fund, MM RetireSMART by JPMorgan 2025 Fund, MM RetireSMART by JPMorgan 2030 Fund, MM RetireSMART by JPMorgan 2035 Fund, MM RetireSMART by JPMorgan 2040 Fund, MM RetireSMART by JPMorgan 2045 Fund, MM RetireSMART by JPMorgan 2050 Fund, MM RetireSMART by JPMorgan 2055 Fund, and MM RetireSMART by JPMorgan 2060 Fund.
● | MM RetireSMART by JPMorgan In Retirement Fund seeks current income and some capital appreciation. |
● | MM RetireSMART by JPMorgan 2020/2025/2030/2035/2040/2045/2050/2055/2060 Funds each seeks total return through the Fund’s asset allocation, which is designed to become more conservative over time. As each Fund approaches and passes the target retirement date, the Fund’s objective will shift to seeking current income and some capital appreciation. |
Each Fund seeks to achieve its investment objective by investing in a combination of U.S. domestic and international mutual funds (“Underlying Funds”) using an asset allocation strategy designed for investors who plan to retire around the year specified in the Fund’s name (the target retirement year) and then withdraw their investment in the Fund over time throughout retirement (or designed for investors who are retired or expect to retire soon for the MM RetireSMART by JPMorgan In Retirement Fund). Each Fund is advised by MML Investment Advisers, LLC (MML Advisers) and subadvised by J.P. Morgan Investment Management Inc. (J.P. Morgan). J.P. Morgan has responsibility for determining each Fund’s strategic asset allocation (its “glide path” for each Fund with a target retirement year in its name) and tactical asset allocation (adjusting the Fund’s specific exposures in response to changes in market conditions). MML Advisers has overall responsibility for each Fund and for implementing those allocations through the selection of, and allocations to, Underlying Funds.
Each Fund with a specified target retirement year in its name seeks to help investors save for retirement and then, after reaching the target retirement year, withdraw a portion of their investment in the Fund each year until 35 years after the target retirement year, the target maturity year. Each Fund assumes a person will be at or around age 65 at the target retirement year.
Underlying Funds will include a combination of MassMutual Funds advised by MML Advisers and J.P. Morgan Funds advised by J.P. Morgan or its affiliates, and may also include other, non-affiliated mutual funds. Underlying Funds may invest in various asset classes, including equity securities, fixed income securities, and money market instruments. Underlying Funds may also invest some or all of their assets in commodities or commodities-related investments.
The Funds will typically invest 80% or more of their assets in mutual funds advised by MML Advisers, J.P. Morgan, or affiliates of J.P. Morgan, including typically a 15% to 35% allocation to mutual funds advised or subadvised by J.P. Morgan or its affiliates. Non-affiliated Underlying Funds in which the Funds may invest are typically passively managed funds that seek to track the performance of a particular market index, which may be broad-based or relate to a particular sector, market, region, or industry.
Each Fund’s assets are allocated to the Underlying Funds according to an asset allocation strategy, as follows:
● | MM RetireSMART by JPMorgan In Retirement Fund: The Fund’s assets are allocated among Underlying Funds according to an asset allocation strategy that emphasizes fixed income and money market funds, but also includes smaller allocations to equity and certain other funds. |
● | MM RetireSMART by JPMorgan 2020/2025/2030/2035/2040/2045/2050/2055/2060 Funds: Each Fund’s asset allocation strategy is designed with two main goals in mind: promoting asset accumulation prior to retirement, during the Fund’s “Savings Phase,” and supporting investors withdrawing their investments in the Fund throughout retirement, during the Fund’s “Spending Phase.” As a result, the Fund’s asset allocation strategy will change over time, generally becoming more conservative as it approaches the target retirement year and then remaining relatively stable afterwards. The asset allocation strategy during the Savings Phase will generally start with a greater emphasis on equity investments and gradually shift to more emphasis on fixed income investments. During the Spending Phase, a Fund will generally have a greater emphasis on fixed income investments. |

S&P Target Date® Index Series:
The S&P Target Date Index Series consists of 13 multi-asset class indexes: the S&P Target Date Retirement Income Index and 12 date-specific indexes, corresponding to a specific target retirement date. Each index provides varying levels of exposure to equities and fixed income. Each target date allocation is created and retired according to a pre-determined schedule related to the respective target date.

Discussion of factors that contributed to the Funds’ performance
At the end of 2021, the Funds held a pro-risk tilt, with an overweight allocation to stocks. Within equities, Fund management preferred U.S. large-cap and developed international stocks. In MML Advisers’ view, this position was supported at the time by a broad market anticipation for strong growth across regions, driven by earnings expectations and reasonable valuations, concurrent with the pandemic’s fading impact on the global economy. Inflation levels were elevated at that time, but considered to be transitory by the U.S. Federal Reserve Board (the “Fed”) and the market.
Entering 2022, Fund management’s positive macro-outlook shifted, as concerns over the Russian invasion of Ukraine increased and the Fed signaled interest rate hikes to combat inflation, which was no longer viewed as temporary. Tensions in Europe pushed energy and commodity prices to historically high levels, exacerbating inflation and dampening global growth. Throughout the first quarter, the Funds eliminated their overweight allocation to international equity, initiated an underweight allocation to emerging-markets equity, and maintained their slight overweight allocation to U.S. large-cap equities. As expected, the Fed raised the federal funds rate – the Fed’s overnight bank lending rate – by 0.25%. At quarter-end, the S&P 500® Index (the “S&P 500”) was down 4.6% and the Bloomberg U.S. Aggregate Bond Index had fallen 5.9%.

The second quarter of 2022 remained challenging for markets. Inflation continued to dominate headlines as the escalation of war in Europe contributed to a further squeeze in food and energy prices. China’s zero-tolerance policy toward COVID-19 resulted in rolling lockdowns, which disrupted their domestic economic activity, with spill-over effects on the global economy. In the U.S., the Fed increased the federal funds rate in June by 0.75% – the largest single move since 1994 – in an effort to control inflation. During the second quarter, the S&P 500 fell 15.4% and the Bloomberg U.S. Aggregate Bond Index was down 5.4%. By quarter-end, the Funds had added underweight positions to all risk assets, including U.S. large-cap, real estate investment trusts (REITs), U.S. high-yield, and emerging-markets debt.
Through the third quarter of 2022, Fed policy, slowing global growth, and elevated geopolitical risk led markets to post broad negative returns. A strong U.S. dollar, coupled with slowing global growth, weighed on emerging markets over the quarter. Inflation and a tight labor market continued to dominate headlines, as both remained resilient, despite global central bank efforts to tighten financial conditions. On the international front, Europe’s reliance on outside energy production came into acute focus, given Russia’s indefinite halt of natural gas supply, which continued to raise the odds of a recession in Europe. The Funds continued to hold a diversified underweight allocation across risk assets throughout the third quarter.
The strategic asset allocation (glide path) detracted over the past year. Relative to the S&P Target Date Indexes, having more total stocks versus bonds, particularly in the vintages further from retirement, detracted from performance. Within stocks, holding a lower allocation to U.S. mid-cap equities detracted from performance. Diversification in fixed income, relative to the S&P Target Date Indexes, contributed to performance, as U.S. core fixed income underperformed U.S. high-yield.
Active asset allocation over the one-year period added value, primarily driven by the Funds’ diversified underweight allocations across risk assets. As market volatility continued, the Funds were positioned to protect participant capital. Specifically, underweight allocations to emerging-markets equity and U.S. REITs were particularly additive, as both asset classes declined by more than 10%.
Outlook
As we head into 2023, Fund management expects sub-trend global growth to continue, with recession in Europe and the U.K. seeming highly probable. In Fund management’s view, the U.S. may narrowly avoid recession; however, Fund management expects continued volatility across capital markets as goods, inventories, and earnings decrease. Fund management also expects continued tightening in monetary policy, in spite of slower global growth, as inflation endures across regions. Fund management’s opinion is that geopolitical risk continues to be elevated, with no signs of abatement in the near term, and they expect meaningful downgrades to earnings globally.

MassMutual Select T. Rowe Price Retirement Balanced Fund – Portfolio Manager Report (Unaudited) |
What is the investment approach of the MassMutual Select T. Rowe Price Retirement Balanced Fund, and who is the Fund’s subadviser?
The Fund seeks the highest total return over time consistent with an emphasis on both capital growth and income. The Fund is a “fund of funds” and pursues its objective by investing in a diversified portfolio of other stock and bond series of both the MassMutual Funds and T. Rowe Price Funds that represent various asset classes and sectors (“Underlying Funds”). The Fund is subadvised by T. Rowe Price Associates, Inc. (T. Rowe Price). The Underlying Funds in which the Fund invests are predominantly either advised or subadvised by T. Rowe Price. The Fund is intended for retired investors who seek income and relative stability from bonds along with some capital appreciation potential from stocks. The Fund’s “neutral allocations,” which are what T. Rowe Price considers broadly appropriate for investors during their retirement years, are 40% stock funds and 60% bond funds. The allocations are referred to as “neutral allocations” because they do not reflect any tactical decisions made by T. Rowe Price to overweight or underweight a particular asset class or sector based on its market outlook.
How did the Fund perform during the 12 months ended September 30, 2022?
The Fund’s Class I shares returned -14.93%, underperforming the -13.31% return of the S&P Target Date Retirement Income Index (the “benchmark”), which provides varying levels of exposure to equities and fixed income.
For a discussion on the economic and market environment during the 12-month period ended September 30, 2022, please see the Economic and Market Overview, beginning on page 3.
Subadviser discussion of factors that contributed to the Fund’s performance
For the fiscal year ended September 30, 2022, the Fund’s total allocation to equities, bonds, and cash detracted from performance. The Fund held less fixed income exposure relative to the benchmark and underperformed in a market environment where equities underperformed bonds and both asset classes lagged cash.
Conversely, the Fund’s structural composition contributed to performance, due in part to a larger allocation to domestic equities relative to the benchmark. The Fund’s dedicated allocation to real assets equities and diversified international developed equities also was beneficial.
Security selection within the underlying allocation to U.S. large-cap growth stocks weighed on the Fund’s relative performance. Conversely, the allocation to U.S. mid-cap growth and value stocks added value.
Subadviser outlook
T. Rowe Price observes that, as of the end of the fiscal year, valuations have improved as risk assets have pulled back from their recent highs, but uncertainty around corporate fundamentals suggests limited near-term upside, particularly as earnings estimates have not seen significant downward revision to reflect rising recession risks. Fund management continues to assess when to add to equities and other risk assets as they evaluate long-term valuations and possible early indications of stabilization or improvement in macroeconomic conditions. Given the range of potential paths for growth and inflation, Fund management expects their positioning to remain cautious, as they expect that a firm commitment from major central banks to bring down inflation could result in a low ceiling for stocks in the near term, and possibly exacerbate economic contraction through overtightening. In T. Rowe Price’s opinion, other key risks to global markets include the Russia-Ukraine conflict and the associated impact of energy supply shortages, which could weigh on European manufacturing, broader geopolitical instability, and unexpected supply chain disruptions. In T. Rowe Price’s view, these conditions could contribute to a less compelling risk/reward trade-off between stocks and bonds or cash in the near term, and they believe that a more modest allocation to equities may be prudent.

MassMutual Select T. Rowe Price Retirement (target-date) Funds – Portfolio Manager Report (Unaudited) |
What are the investment approaches of the Funds that constitute the MassMutual Select T. Rowe Price Retirement (target date) Series, and who is the Series’ subadviser?
The MassMutual (“MM”) Select T. Rowe Price (target date) Series (the “Series”) comprises 12 Funds – each of which has a “fund of funds” structure. The 12 Funds are MM Select T. Rowe Price Retirement 2005 Fund, MM Select T. Rowe Price Retirement 2010 Fund, MM Select T. Rowe Price Retirement 2015 Fund, MM Select T. Rowe Price Retirement 2020 Fund, MM Select T. Rowe Price Retirement 2025 Fund, MM Select T. Rowe Price Retirement 2030 Fund, MM Select T. Rowe Price Retirement 2035 Fund, MM Select T. Rowe Price Retirement 2040 Fund, MM Select T. Rowe Price Retirement 2045 Fund, MM Select T. Rowe Price Retirement 2050 Fund, MM Select T. Rowe Price Retirement 2055 Fund, and MM Select T. Rowe Price Retirement 2060 Fund. All Funds in the Series seek the highest total return over time consistent with an emphasis on both capital growth and income. Each Fund pursues its investment objective by investing in a diversified portfolio of other stock and bond series of both the MassMutual Funds and T. Rowe Price Funds that represent various asset classes and sectors (“Underlying Funds”). Each Fund’s allocation among Underlying Funds will change over time in relation to its target retirement date. Each Fund is subadvised by T. Rowe Price Associates, Inc. (T. Rowe Price). The Underlying Funds in which each Fund invests are predominantly either advised or subadvised by T. Rowe Price.
Each Fund is managed based on the specific retirement year (e.g., target date 2005) included in its name and assumes a retirement age of 65. The target date refers to the approximate year an investor in the Fund would have retired or would plan to retire and likely stopped or would stop making new investments in the Fund. Each Fund is primarily designed for an investor who retired or anticipates retiring at or about the target date and who plans to withdraw the value of the account in the Fund gradually after retirement.
Each Fund’s assets are allocated to the Underlying Funds according to an asset allocation strategy that becomes increasingly conservative over time, reaching approximately 55% allocation to stocks at the target date and continuing to decline until approximately 30 years after its target date, when its allocation to stocks and bonds will remain unchanged.
During the second quarter of 2020, each Fund began to shift its asset allocation strategy so that the overall allocation to stocks at 30 years past retirement will increase from 20% to 30%. The transition may take up to two years from the start of the transition to fully implement.
How did each Fund perform during the 12 months ended September 30, 2022?

Subadviser discussion of factors that contributed to the Funds’ performance
For the fiscal year ended September 30, 2022, the Funds’ total allocation to equities, bonds, and cash detracted from performance across the Series. The Funds held less fixed income exposure relative to the S&P Target Date Indexes – and underperformed in a market environment where equities underperformed bonds and both asset classes lagged cash. This impact was most pronounced in vintages in or near retirement, where the S&P Target Date Indexes typically had more than double the cash allocation exposure.
Conversely, the Funds’ structural composition contributed to performance, due in part to a larger allocation to domestic equities relative to the benchmarks. The Funds’ dedicated allocation to real assets equities and diversified international developed equities also was beneficial.
Security selection within the underlying allocation to U.S. large-cap growth stocks weighed on the Funds’ relative performance. Conversely, the allocations to U.S. mid-cap growth and value stocks added value.
Subadviser outlook
T. Rowe Price observes that, as of the end of the fiscal year, valuations have improved as risk assets have pulled back from their recent highs, but uncertainty around corporate fundamentals suggests limited near-term upside, particularly as earnings estimates have not seen significant downward revision to reflect rising recession risks.

# Benchmark
Generally accepted accounting principles require adjustments to be made to the net assets of the Fund at period end for financial reporting purposes only, and as such, the total return based on the unadjusted net asset value per share may differ from the total return reported in the financial highlights.
Performance results in the graph and table are shown both with and without the imposition of the maximum applicable sales charge (if applicable) and reflect the percentage change in net asset value, including reinvestment of dividends and capital gains distributions. Investors should note that the Fund is a professionally managed mutual fund, while the index or indexes shown above are unmanaged, cannot be purchased directly, and, with the exception of any peer group index, do not incur expenses.

Because each class will have different fees and expenses, performance and share prices will vary between the classes. The classes of shares are offered to different types of investors, as outlined in the Funds’ Prospectuses.

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.
Each Fund is an investment company and accordingly follows the investment company accounting and reporting guidance of the Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification Topic 946, Financial Services – Investment Companies.
Investment Valuation
The net asset value of each Fund’s shares is determined once daily as of the close of regular trading on the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”), on each day the NYSE is open for trading (a “business day”). The NYSE normally closes at 4:00 p.m. Eastern Time, but may close earlier on some days. If the NYSE is scheduled to close early, the business day will be considered to end as of the time of the NYSE’s scheduled close. A Fund will not treat an intraday disruption in NYSE trading or other event that causes an unscheduled closing of the NYSE as a close of business of the NYSE for these purposes; instead, MML Advisers will determine the fair value of a Fund’s securities in accordance with MML Advisers’ fair valuation policy and procedures. On holidays and other days when the NYSE is closed, each Fund’s net asset value generally is not calculated and the Funds do not anticipate accepting buy or sell orders. However, the value of each Fund’s assets may still be affected on such days to the extent that an Underlying Fund holds foreign securities that trade on days that foreign securities markets are open.
The net asset value of each Fund is based upon the net asset value(s) of its corresponding Underlying Funds. Shares of the Underlying Funds are valued at their closing net asset values as reported on each business day.
Certain Underlying Funds may invest in securities that are traded principally in foreign markets and that trade on weekends and other days when the Funds do not price their shares. As a result, the values of the Funds’ portfolio securities may change on days when the prices of the Funds’ shares are not calculated. The prices of the Funds’ shares will reflect any such changes when the prices of the Funds’ shares are next calculated, which is the next business day.
The Prospectuses and Statements of Additional Information (“SAIs”) for the Underlying Funds explain the valuation methods for the Underlying Funds, including the circumstances under which the Underlying Funds may use fair value pricing and the effects of doing so. Such Prospectuses and SAIs are available on the SEC’s EDGAR database on its website at http://www.sec.gov.

Notes to Financial Statements (Continued) |
Various inputs may be used to determine the value of the Funds’ investments. The Funds categorize the inputs to valuation techniques used to value their investments into a disclosure hierarchy consisting of three levels as summarized below. The inputs or methodology used for valuing investments are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those investments.
Level 1 – quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical investments that the Funds can access at the measurement date
Level 2 – other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar investments, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.)
Level 3 – significant unobservable inputs, to the extent observable inputs are not available (including the Funds’ own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments)
Each Fund characterized all investments at Level 1, as of September 30, 2022. For each Fund, the level classification by major category of investments is the same as the category presentation in the Portfolio of Investments.
The Funds had no Level 3 transfers during the year ended September 30, 2022.
Accounting for Investment Transactions
Investment transactions are accounted for on the trade date. Realized gains and losses on sales of investments and unrealized appreciation and depreciation of investments are computed by the specific identification cost method. Proceeds received from litigation, if any, are included in realized gains on investment transactions for any investments that are no longer held in the portfolio and as a reduction in cost for investments that continue to be held in the portfolio. Interest income, adjusted for amortization of discounts and premiums on debt securities, is earned from the settlement date and is recorded on the accrual basis. Dividend income and distributions including realized gain distributions are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Withholding taxes on foreign interest, dividends, and capital gains have been provided for in accordance with the applicable country’s tax rules and rates. Foreign dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date or as soon as practicable after the Fund determines the existence of a dividend declaration after exercising reasonable due diligence. Distributions received on securities that represent a return of capital or capital gains are recorded as a reduction of cost of investments and/or as a realized gain.
Allocation of Operating Activity
In maintaining the records for the Funds, the income and expense accounts are allocated daily to each class of shares. Investment income and loss, and unrealized and realized gains or losses are prorated among the classes of shares based on the relative net assets of each. Expenses are allocated to each class of shares depending on the nature of the expenditures. Administration and service fees, if any, which are directly attributable to a class of shares, are charged to that class’s operations. Expenses of a Fund not directly attributable to the operations of any specific class of shares of the Fund are prorated among the classes to which the expense relates based on relative net assets or another alternative method.
In addition, each Fund will also incur certain fees and expenses indirectly as a shareholder in the Underlying Funds. Because the Underlying Funds have varied expense and fee levels and each Fund may own different proportions of Underlying Funds at different times, the amount of fees and expenses indirectly incurred by each Fund will vary.
Foreign Securities
Certain Underlying Funds may invest in foreign securities. Foreign securities, including American Depositary Receipts, are subject to additional risks compared to securities of U.S. issuers, including international trade, currency, political, regulatory, public health, and diplomatic risks. In addition, fluctuations in currency exchange rates may favorably or unfavorably affect the values of foreign securities and the price of a Fund’s shares. Emerging markets securities are subject to greater risks than securities issued in developed foreign markets, including less liquidity, less stringent investor protection and disclosure standards,
159
Notes to Financial Statements (Continued) |
less reliable settlement practices, greater price volatility, higher relative rates of inflation, greater political, economic, and social instability, greater custody and operational risks, greater risk of new or inconsistent government treatment of or restrictions on issuers and instruments, and greater volatility in currency exchange rates, and are more susceptible to environmental problems.
Federal Income Tax
It is each Fund’s intent to continue to comply with the provisions of Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), applicable to a regulated investment company. Under such provisions, the Funds would not be subject to federal income taxes on their ordinary income and net realized capital gains to the extent they are distributed or deemed to have been distributed to their shareholders. Therefore, the Funds have not made any provision for federal income tax.
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. As a result, net investment income and net realized capital gains on investment transactions for a reporting period may differ significantly from distributions during such period.
3. | Advisory Fees and Other Transactions |
Investment Advisory Fees and Investment Subadviser
MML Advisers, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Massachusetts Mutual Life Insurance Company (“MassMutual”), serves as investment adviser to each Fund. Under the investment advisory agreements between MML Advisers and the Trust on behalf of each Fund, MML Advisers is responsible for providing investment management services for each Fund.
With respect to the MM Target Allocation Funds and MM RetireSMART by JPMorgan Funds, MML Advisers does not receive advisory fees in return for these services.
With respect to the MM Select T. Rowe Price Retirement Funds, in return for these services, MML Advisers receives all-inclusive advisory fees based on each share class of each Fund’s average daily net assets. The all-inclusive advisory fees are computed and accrued daily and payable monthly, and include investment management services and ordinary, recurring operating expenses, but do not cover interest; expenses related to borrowings, securities lending, leverage, taxes, and brokerage; short sale dividend and loan expense; acquired fund fees and expenses; payments pursuant to a Rule 12b-1 plan or similar plan; non-recurring or unusual expenses; and extraordinary legal and other expenses.
The applicable all-inclusive fee rate for each class of an MM Select T. Rowe Price Retirement Fund with a specified target retirement year in its name (“Annual Fee Rate”) shall be determined on each June 1 by calculating the “Years to Target Date” by subtracting the calendar year in which such June 1 falls (e.g., 2030) from the target year in the name of the Fund (e.g., 2060); and (ii) identifying the Annual Fee Rate shown in the table below next to the Years to Target Date so determined. The applicable Annual Fee Rate determined as of any June 1 shall be in effect from, and including, that June 1 through, and including, the following May 31.

8. Indemnifications
Under the Funds’ organizational documents, current and former Trustees and Officers are provided with specified rights to indemnification against liabilities arising in connection with the performance of their duties to the Funds, and shareholders are indemnified against personal liability for obligations of the Funds. In the normal course of business, the Funds may also enter into contracts that provide general indemnifications. The Funds’ maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would be dependent on future claims that may be made against the Funds. The risk of material loss from such claims is considered remote.
9. Coronavirus (COVID-19) Pandemic
The global pandemic outbreak of the novel coronavirus known as COVID-19 and efforts to contain its spread have produced, and will likely continue to produce, substantial market volatility, severe market dislocations and liquidity constraints in many markets, exchange trading suspensions and closures, higher default rates, and global business disruption, and they may result in future significant adverse effects, such as declines in global financial markets and a substantial economic downturn or recession throughout the world. Such factors may have a significant adverse effect on a Fund’s performance and have the potential to impair the ability of a Fund’s investment adviser, subadviser, or other service providers to serve the Fund and could lead to disruptions that negatively impact the Fund.

10. Russia-Ukraine War
In February 2022, Russia commenced a large-scale military attack on Ukraine. The outbreak of hostilities between the two countries could result in more widespread conflict and could have a severe adverse effect on the regional and the global financial markets and economies. One or more of the Underlying Funds hold positions in securities or other instruments that are economically tied to Russia. Investments in Russia are subject to political, economic, legal, market, and currency risks, as well as the risks related to the economic sanctions on Russia, Russian individuals, and Russian corporate and banking entities imposed by the United States and/or other countries. Such sanctions — which affect companies in many sectors, including energy, financial services, and defense, among others — could adversely affect the global energy and financial markets and, thus, could affect the value of an Underlying Fund’s investments, even beyond any direct exposure the Underlying Fund may have to Russian issuers or the adjoining geographic regions. Such sanctions may also result in a decline in the value and liquidity of Russian securities and a weakening of the ruble, and will impair an Underlying Fund’s ability to buy, sell, receive, or deliver Russian securities. In addition, certain transactions have been or may be prohibited and/or existing investments have or may become illiquid (e.g., because transacting in certain existing investments is prohibited), which could cause an Underlying Fund to sell other portfolio holdings at a disadvantageous time or price in order to meet shareholder redemptions.

Basis for Opinion
These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Funds’ management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Funds’ financial statements and financial highlights based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Funds in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. 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, whether due to error or fraud. The Funds are not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of their internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Funds’ internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.
Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements and financial highlights, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements and financial highlights. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements and financial highlights. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of September 30, 2022, by correspondence with transfer agents; when replies were not received from transfer agents, we performed other auditing procedures. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Trustees’ Approval of Investment Advisory Contracts
At their meetings in May and June 2022, the Contract Committee (the “Committee”) and the Trustees, including the Trustees who are not “interested persons” (as such term is defined in the 1940 Act) of the Trust, MML Advisers, J.P. Morgan, or T. Rowe Price (the “Independent Trustees”), re-approved the existing advisory and subadvisory agreements (collectively, the “Contracts”) for each of the 20/80 Allocation Fund, 40/60 Allocation Fund, 60/40 Allocation Fund, 80/20 Allocation Fund, MM RetireSMART by JPMorgan In Retirement Fund, MM RetireSMART by JPMorgan 2020 Fund, MM RetireSMART by JPMorgan 2025 Fund, MM RetireSMART by JPMorgan 2030 Fund, MM RetireSMART by JPMorgan 2035 Fund, MM RetireSMART by JPMorgan 2040 Fund, MM RetireSMART by JPMorgan 2045 Fund, MM RetireSMART by JPMorgan 2050 Fund, MM RetireSMART by JPMorgan 2055 Fund, MM RetireSMART by JPMorgan 2060 Fund, MM Select T. Rowe Price Retirement Balanced Fund, MM Select T. Rowe Price Retirement 2005 Fund, MM Select T. Rowe Price Retirement 2010 Fund, MM Select T. Rowe Price Retirement 2015 Fund, MM Select T. Rowe Price Retirement 2020 Fund, MM Select T. Rowe Price Retirement 2025 Fund, MM Select T. Rowe Price Retirement 2030 Fund, MM Select T. Rowe Price Retirement 2035 Fund, MM Select T. Rowe Price Retirement 2040 Fund, MM Select T. Rowe Price Retirement 2045 Fund, MM Select T. Rowe Price Retirement 2050 Fund, MM Select T. Rowe Price Retirement 2055 Fund, and MM Select T. Rowe Price Retirement 2060 Fund, as applicable. In preparation for the meetings, the Trustees requested, and MML Advisers, J.P. Morgan, and T. Rowe Price provided in advance, certain materials relevant to the consideration of the Contracts (the “Meeting Materials”). In all of their deliberations, the Trustees were advised by independent counsel.
The Committee received in advance of the meetings (i) a memorandum from MML Advisers discussing the nature and quality of the services it provides as investment adviser to the Funds; (ii) a profitability analysis prepared by MML Advisers; and (iii) a fee and performance study report (the “Third-Party Report”) with respect to each Fund prepared by an independent third-party vendor (the “Third-Party”). The Third-Party Report provided detailed comparative advisory fee, total expense, and performance information for each Fund to assist the Committee in its evaluation of the Contracts. The Committee also considered information presented to it throughout the year regarding MML Advisers, J.P. Morgan, and T. Rowe Price.
The Committee considered the nature, scope, and quality of services MML Advisers provides to the Funds, including: (i) the financial condition, stability, and business strategy of MML Advisers; (ii) the capabilities of MML Advisers with respect to regulatory compliance and its ability to monitor compliance with the investment policies of the Funds; (iii) MML Advisers’ ability to provide investment oversight and provide for administrative and shareholder services to the Funds; and (iv) the experience and qualifications of the personnel of MML Advisers that perform, or oversee the performance of, the services provided to the Funds, and the needs of the Funds for administrative and shareholder services. The Committee noted that it had received in the Meeting Materials or during the course of the past year: (i) detailed information regarding MML Advisers’ ability to provide investment oversight and provide for administrative and shareholder services to the Funds; and (ii) a wide range of information about each of J.P. Morgan and T. Rowe Price and its personnel with responsibility for providing services to the Funds, as applicable, and
216
Other Information (Unaudited) (Continued) |
the fees payable to J.P. Morgan and T. Rowe Price by MML Advisers. MML Advisers reviewed with the Committee in detail the work MML Advisers does in its oversight roles, the expertise it brings to these roles, the size of its teams, and the financial commitment it has made to provide those services.
The Committee then reviewed and considered, for each Fund separately, the detailed information presented in the Third-Party Report regarding (i) Fund expenses, including, among other things, both the Fund’s net advisory fee and total net expense ratio against peer funds; and (ii) the Fund’s relative performance (over various time periods against funds in its “category” and a benchmark index). In connection with the Committee’s review, MML Advisers provided commentary and analysis regarding each Fund’s expenses and performance and a recommendation as to the action to be taken by the Committee. Throughout the discussion, MML Advisers responded to Committee members’ questions and provided additional information concerning each Fund.
The Committee reviewed the expense and performance information for each Fund. (References to any one- or three-year period below are to periods ended December 31, 2021. In all cases, the comparative expense information is that of a Fund’s “peer group” and the comparative performance information is that of a Fund’s “performance category.”)
The Committee considered that the total net expense ratios for all of the Funds, except the MM RetireSMART by JPMorgan In Retirement Fund, were within the top sixty percent of their peer groups, and in the majority of cases in the top forty percent. All of the Funds had net advisory fees at or below the medians of their peer groups, or within the top three comparative quintiles of their peer groups, except the MM Select T. Rowe Price Retirement 2015 Fund, MM Select T. Rowe Price Retirement 2020 Fund, MM Select T. Rowe Price Retirement 2045 Fund, MM Select T. Rowe Price Retirement 2050 Fund, MM Select T. Rowe Price Retirement 2055 Fund, and MM Select T. Rowe Price Retirement 2060 Fund, the levels of whose net advisory fees the Committee did not consider to be inconsistent with the advisory agreements’ continuation, in light of the Funds’ generally acceptable total net expense ratios and/or general favorable investment performance over time. In their consideration of these Funds, the Committee took into account the expense caps currently in place for the Funds.
The MM RetireSMART by JPMorgan In Retirement Fund had a total net expense ratio higher than the 60th comparative percentile of its peer group. The Committee considered MML Advisers’ statement that the Fund’s total net expense ratio, at the 75th percentile of its peer group, was only three basis points above the peer group median. The Committee also considered that the Fund’s net advisory fee was in the 1st comparative percentile of its peer group.
The Committee determined on the basis of these factors that the levels of the Funds’ net advisory fees, and the total net expenses of the Funds generally, were consistent with the continuation of their advisory agreements.
The Committee considered that each of the MM Target Allocation Funds, MM RetireSMART by JPMorgan In Retirement Fund, and MM Select T. Rowe Price Retirement Funds achieved three-year investment performance above the medians of their performance categories.
As to the MM RetireSMART by JPMorgan 2020 Fund, MM RetireSMART by JPMorgan 2025 Fund, MM RetireSMART by JPMorgan 2030 Fund, MM RetireSMART by JPMorgan 2035 Fund, MM RetireSMART by JPMorgan 2040 Fund, MM RetireSMART by JPMorgan 2045 Fund, MM RetireSMART by JPMorgan 2050 Fund, MM RetireSMART by JPMorgan 2055 Fund, and MM RetireSMART by JPMorgan 2060 Fund, the Committee noted that although each Fund had experienced relatively unfavorable three-year performance compared to its performance category, all but one Fund, the MM RetireSMART by JPMorgan 2020 Fund, experienced improved performance above the median of the relevant performance category for the one-year period. The Committee considered MML Advisers’ statement that the Funds’ underperformance for the three-year period (and for the one-year period for the MM RetireSMART by JPMorgan 2020 Fund) was due in substantial part to a strategic asset allocation underweight to large capitalization U.S. equities (and overweight to non-U.S. equities) in 2020. The Committee also considered MML Advisers’ statements that J.P. Morgan had been serving as the Funds’ subadviser to determine the Funds’ strategic asset allocations and tactical asset allocations, and that MML Advisers considers J.P. Morgan to be a premier subadviser that brings significant resources in this regard.
217
Other Information (Unaudited) (Continued) |
The Committee also reviewed and considered information included in the Meeting Materials, or discussed at the meeting and during the course of the year, concerning economies of scale and the profitability of MML Advisers’ advisory relationship with the various Funds, including: (i) a description of MML Advisers’ revenues from the Funds (including advisory fees and administrative and shareholder services fees, as applicable) and the expense allocation methodology employed by MML Advisers; and (ii) profitability information for each individual Fund. The discussions included consideration of the intangible benefits derived by MML Advisers and its affiliates resulting from their relationships with the Funds and any so-called “fallout benefits” to MML Advisers (which were not considered to be substantial in any event), such as any reputational value derived from serving as investment adviser to the Funds.
Prior to the votes being taken to approve the Contracts, the Committee met separately in executive session to discuss the appropriateness of such contracts. The Committee weighed the foregoing matters in light of the advice given to them by their independent legal counsel as to the law applicable to the review of investment advisory contracts. In arriving at a decision, the Committee did not identify any single matter as all-important or controlling. The foregoing summary does not detail all of the matters considered.
As to each of the Funds, the Committee concluded that: (i) overall, it was satisfied with the nature, extent, and quality of services provided, and expected to be provided in the future, under the Contracts, including the level of MML Advisers’ oversight of each Fund and the subadvisory process; (ii) MML Advisers’ levels of profitability from its relationship with the various Funds are not excessive and the advisory fees payable under the advisory agreements and each Fund’s total net expenses are fair and reasonable; (iii) the investment processes, research capabilities, and philosophies of J.P. Morgan and T. Rowe Price generally appear well suited to the Funds, as applicable, given their investment objectives and policies; (iv) either the relative or absolute performance of a Fund (in each case, taking into account the applicable investment strategy and risk profile of the Fund), or the steps MML Advisers has proposed in respect of the underperformance of a Fund, are sufficient to warrant continuation of the Contracts for each of the Funds; and (v) the terms of the Contracts are fair and reasonable with respect to each Fund and are in the best interests of each Fund’s shareholders.
Also at their meeting in June 2022, the Trustees, including the Independent Trustees, reviewed and approved a proposal to make changes to the existing subadvisory agreement between MML Advisers and J.P. Morgan for each of the MM RetireSMART by JPMorgan Funds, in order to require J.P. Morgan to furnish to MML Advisers a “sample withdrawal amount” each year, which would be made available to investors. In their deliberations, the Trustees were advised by independent counsel.
Prior to the vote being taken to approve the amendment to the subadvisory agreement discussed above, the Independent Trustees met separately in executive session to discuss the appropriateness of such contract. The Independent Trustees weighed the foregoing matters in light of the advice given to them by their independent legal counsel as to the law applicable to the review of investment advisory contracts. In arriving at a decision, the Trustees, including the Independent Trustees, did not identify any single matter as all-important or controlling. The foregoing summary does not detail all of the matters considered.
The amended subadvisory agreement became effective on June 22, 2022.

Fund Expenses September 30, 2022
Expense Examples:
The following information is in regards to expenses for the six months ended September 30, 2022:
As a shareholder of the Funds, you may incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) on purchase payments or redemptions; and (2) ongoing costs, including advisory fees, distribution and/or service (12b-1) 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 months ended September 30, 2022.
Actual Expenses:
The first four columns of the table below provide information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use this information, 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 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 last two columns of the table below provide 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 table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs. Therefore, the last two columns of the table are useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

MassMutual Funds Annual Report – President’s Letter to Shareholders (Unaudited) |
To Our Shareholders
Paul LaPiana
“At MassMutual, our goal is to help you build the future you want for yourself and your family. We want to help you with your retirement plans today, so you can feel more comfortable about tomorrow.”
September 30, 2022
Continued market volatility challenges retirement investors
I am pleased to present you with the MassMutual Funds Annual Report. During the fiscal year ended September 30, 2022, U.S. stocks were down over 15%, with investors concerned that stimulus-fueled recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic was over and that domestic monetary policy had turned toward combating heightened inflation. Stocks in foreign developed markets and emerging markets also experienced significant losses in the fiscal year, hurt by elevated energy prices, a strengthening U.S. dollar, and concerns that consumer spending and corporate earnings growth would slow. U.S. bond investors experienced negative returns in the rising interest rate environment, fueled by aggressive interest rate hikes by the U.S. Federal Reserve Board that were aimed at reducing demand-driven inflationary pressures.
Suggestions for retirement investors under any market conditions
● | You are likely in it for the long term. Retirement planning involves what financial professionals refer to as “long-term investing,” since most people save and invest for retirement throughout their working years. Even in retirement, many individuals will systematically withdraw their retirement savings over a number of years, keeping a portion of their funds invested. Although the financial markets will go up and down, individuals who take a long-term approach to investing don’t focus on current headlines – because they realize that they have time to ride out the downturns. |
● | Keep contributing. While you have no control over the investment markets, you can control how often and how much you contribute to your retirement account. Saving as much as possible and increasing your contributions regularly is one way retirement investors can help boost their retirement savings, regardless of the performance of the stock and bond markets. |
● | Invest continually.1 Financial professionals often advise their clients to stay in the market, regardless of short-term results. Here’s why: Those who can invest in all market conditions have the potential to be rewarded even during market downturns, when more favorable prices may enable them to accumulate larger positions. |
● | Monitor your asset allocation and diversify. Stocks, bonds, and short-term/money market investments are asset classes that tend to behave differently, depending upon the economic and market environment. These broad asset classes contain an even greater array of asset sub-categories (such as small-cap stocks, international stocks, and high-yield bonds). Most financial professionals agree that investors can take advantage of different opportunities in the market and reduce the risk of over-exposure to one or two poorly performing asset types by selecting a number of investments that represent a mix of asset classes and sub-categories. |
Is this a good time to track your progress?
If you work with a financial professional, you may wish to consider checking in with him or her to help you determine if:
● | you are saving enough for retirement – and, if in retirement, you are withdrawing an appropriate amount each year, based on your personal circumstances; |
● | your retirement account is invested appropriately for all market conditions, based on your goals and objectives, as well as your investment time horizon; and |
● | you are taking steps to help reduce your longevity risk, which is the chance that you could “run out” of retirement savings during your lifetime. |
1 Systematic investing and asset allocation do not ensure a profit or protect against loss in a declining market. Systematic investing involves continuous investment in securities regardless of fluctuating price levels. Investors should consider their ability to continue investing through periods of low price levels.

Continued market volatility challenges retirement investors
During the fiscal year ended September 30, 2022, U.S. stocks were down over 15%, with investors concerned that stimulus-fueled recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic was over and that domestic monetary policy had turned toward combating heightened inflation. Stocks in foreign developed markets and emerging markets also experienced significant losses in the fiscal year, hurt by elevated energy prices, a strengthening U.S. dollar, and concerns that consumer spending and corporate earnings growth would slow. U.S. bond investors experienced negative returns in the rising interest rate environment, fueled by aggressive interest rate hikes by the U.S. Federal Reserve Board (the “Fed”) that were aimed at reducing demand-driven inflationary pressures.
Market Highlights
● | For the reporting period from October 1, 2021 through September 30, 2022, U.S. stocks were down over 15%, in a market environment where the Fed aggressively raised interest rates in an effort to combat heightened inflation. |
● | In the fourth quarter of 2021, expectations for strong economic and earnings growth in 2022, bolstered by the possibility of a $2 trillion economic stimulus and social spending plan, allowed investors to look past sharp increases in COVID-19 Omicron variant cases and heightened inflationary pressures. |
● | In the first quarter of 2022, investors in both stocks and bonds were challenged by a sharp rise in energy prices after Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, a stalled domestic economic stimulus plan, and the Fed raising interest rates for the first time since 2018. |
● | The second quarter of 2022 was another difficult quarter, as Fed interest rate hikes, investor concerns over high inflation, and concern about the potential of an impending global recession dominated the narrative. |
● | The third quarter of 2022 was an extension of the difficult second quarter, with continued inflationary pressures, weakening economic data, and aggressive Fed interest rate hikes. |
● | Foreign stocks in developed markets and emerging markets also experienced losses in the fiscal year, against the backdrop of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine (and the resulting economic sanctions that kept energy prices elevated), the strengthening U.S. dollar, and threatened consumer spending and corporate earnings growth. |
● | U.S. bond investors experienced negative returns in the rising interest rate environment, fueled by an increase in short-term interest rates, heighted inflationary pressures, and the reversal of monetary and fiscal policy support. |
Market Environment
For the fiscal year beginning on October 1, 2021, global stock investors experienced significant losses. U.S. stocks fell sharply in the period in response, with the S&P 500 Index® (“S&P 500”)1 entering bear market territory after declining more than 20% from its previous highs. Investors sought safety from high inflation, rising interest rates, and the increasing possibility of a recession. Consumer sentiment fell sharply, down 17.2% in the period2 , as high inflation – driven by rising energy, food, and housing costs – overwhelmed low unemployment and strong wage growth. As of August 2022, more Americans are borrowing to make ends meet in these inflationary times, resulting in consumer loan levels at record highs, having increased by 12.4% year-over-year3.
1 The S&P 500 Index measures the performance of 500 widely held stocks in the U.S. equity market. Standard and Poor’s chooses member companies for the index based on market size, liquidity, and industry group representation. Included are the stocks of industrial, financial, utility, and transportation companies. Since mid-1989, this composition has been more flexible and the number of issues in each sector has varied. It is market capitalization-weighted. The Index does not reflect any deduction for fees, expenses, or taxes and cannot be purchased directly by investors.

As a result, the broad market S&P 500 fell 15.47% for the period. The technology-heavy NASDAQ Composite Index4 performed even worse, dropping 26.25%. The more economically sensitive Dow Jones Industrial AverageSM5 was down 13.40%. During the reporting period, small-cap stocks underperformed their larger-cap peers, while value stocks outperformed their growth brethren. The communication services, consumer discretionary, and information technology sectors were all down by 20% or more. The energy sector was the strongest performer for the fiscal year, up 45.70%, aided by an 18% increase in the price of West Texas Intermediate (WTI) crude oil. The utilities sector also ended the period positively, gaining 5.58% for the period.
Developed international markets, as measured by the MSCI EAFE® Index6 , trailed their domestic peers, ending the fiscal year down 25.13%. Emerging-market stocks, as measured by the MSCI Emerging Markets Index7 , also fell sharply, ending down 28.11% for the period. Investors sold off developed international and emerging-market stocks on concerns that higher interest rates and commodity prices would impair consumer spending and corporate earnings growth.
Bond yields rose sharply during the fiscal year, with the 10-year U.S. Treasury bond yield rising from a low of 1.52% on October 1, 2021 to close the period at 3.83%. Rising yields generally produce falling bond prices; consequently, bond index returns suffered. The Bloomberg U.S. Aggregate Bond Index8 ended the period down 14.60%. Investment-grade corporate bonds fared even worse. The Bloomberg U.S. Corporate Bond Index9 , which tracks investment-grade corporate bonds, ended the period with an 18.53% loss. The Bloomberg U.S. Corporate High-Yield Bond Index10 also ended in negative territory, declining 14.14% for the period.

MM Equity Asset Fund – Portfolio Manager Report (Unaudited) |
What is the investment approach of MM Equity Asset Fund, and who is the Fund’s subadviser?

Under normal circumstances, the Fund invests at least 80% of its net assets (plus the amount of any borrowings for investment purposes) in equity securities. The Fund’s subadviser is J.P. Morgan Investment Management Inc. (J.P. Morgan).

How did the Fund perform during the 12 months ended September 30, 2022?
The Fund’s Class I shares returned -14.16%, outperforming the -15.47% return of the S&P 500 Index (the “benchmark”), which measures the performance of 500 widely held stocks in the U.S. equity market.

Subadviser discussion of factors that contributed to the Fund’s performance
For the one-year period ended September 30, 2022, stock selection in the pharma/medical technology, industrial cyclical, and health services & systems sectors contributed the most to the Fund’s performance – while stock choices in the basic materials, telecommunications, and real estate investment trust (REIT) sectors detracted the most from the Fund’s performance.
On the positive side, the Fund’s underweight allocations to PayPal (PYPL), a company that engages in the development of technology platforms for digital payments; Intel (INTC), a company that designs, manufactures, and sells computer products and technologies; and Adobe (ADBE), a company that develops, markets and supports computer software products and technologies were the top individual contributors to the Fund’s performance. In particular, the Fund’s underweight allocation to PayPal was additive, as the company underperformed during the fiscal year, given the competitive pressures it faced from its more innovative competitors.
On the negative side, the Fund’s overweight allocations to Stanley Black & Decker (SWK), a manufacturer of industrial tools and household hardware; Charter Communications (CHTR), a cable telecommunications company; and Shopify (SHOP), a provider of a cloud-based commerce platform were the top individual detractors. The Fund’s overweight position in Stanley Black & Decker was the largest detractor over the period. As multiples for earlier-cycle names have compressed, the company underperformed; additionally, Stanley Black & Decker did not execute as well as peers with regard to supply chain issues, leading to a lack of volume growth.
Derivatives may generally be used as substitutes for securities in which the Fund can invest. Derivatives are securities that derive their value from the performance of one or more other investments and take the form of a contract between two or more parties. Derivatives can be used for hedging, speculation, or both. During the reporting period, the Fund used futures to hedge cash positions, which were less than 5% of the Fund’s market value. The positions had a negligible impact on performance over the period.

Subadviser outlook
Looking ahead, Fund management expects to continue to focus on fundamentals of the economy and company earnings. As of the end of the fiscal year, J.P. Morgan analysts’ estimates for benchmark earnings projected the potential for +10% for 2022 and +6% for 2023. While subject to revision, this forecast reflects J.P. Morgan’s expectations for a recovery in the underlying economy – and includes its best analysis of earnings expectations. J.P. Morgan believes that inflation and other uncertainties – such as the tightening liquidity, lingering supply chain constraints, and economic impacts of the war in Ukraine – will be integral to investor sentiment moving forward.

MassMutual Select T. Rowe Price Bond Asset Fund – Portfolio Manager Report (Unaudited) |
What is the investment approach of MassMutual Select T. Rowe Price Bond Asset Fund, and who is the Fund’s subadviser?
The Fund seeks a regular level of income consistent with the preservation of capital over time. Under normal circumstances, the Fund invests at least 80% of its net assets (plus the amount of any borrowings for investment purposes) in bonds. The Fund’s investments may include, but are not limited to, obligations issued by U.S. and foreign governments and their agencies, bonds issued by U.S. and foreign corporations, U.S. and non-U.S. dollar denominated foreign securities (including securities of emerging market issuers), mortgage- and asset-backed securities, Treasury inflation protected securities, and bank loans (which represent interests in amounts loaned to companies by banks and other lenders). The Fund is subadvised by T. Rowe Price Associates, Inc. (T. Rowe Price). In addition, T. Rowe Price International Ltd serves as a sub-subadviser for the Fund.
How did the Fund perform during the 12 months ended September 30, 2022?
The Fund’s Class I shares returned -14.50%, outperforming the -14.60% return of the Bloomberg U.S. Aggregate Bond Index (the “benchmark”), which measures the performance of investment grade, U.S. dollar-denominated, fixed-rate taxable bond market securities, including Treasuries, government-related and corporate securities, mortgage-backed securities (MBS) (agency fixed-rate and hybrid ARM pass-throughs), asset-backed securities (ABS), and commercial mortgage-backed securities (CMBS). (“Agency” refers to debt issued by U.S. federal government agencies or government-sponsored entities for financing purposes.)
For a discussion on the economic and market environment during the 12-month period ended September 30, 2022, please see the Economic and Market Overview, beginning on page 3.
Subadviser discussion of factors that contributed to the Fund’s performance
For the one-year period ended September 30, 2022, the U.S. dollar-hedged international bond allocation fell to a lesser extent than the U.S. core bond allocation.
The core bond allocation underperformed the benchmark. Sector allocation detracted in aggregate from relative results due to the Fund’s underweight position in Treasuries and government-related agency bonds, which outperformed the benchmark amid increasing risk-off sentiment. The Fund’s allocations to MBS and investment-grade (IG) and high-yield corporate bonds also hurt performance, as credit spreads widened amid increasing recession concerns. Interest rate management was an overall negative, as Fund management made tactical adjustments during a period of elevated rate volatility. Conversely, security selection was a modest contributor, led by the Fund’s agency MBS and IG corporate holdings.
The U.S. dollar-hedged international bond allocation underperformed the Bloomberg Aggregate ex-USD Hedged Index. In country and duration positioning, a long duration exposure in Hungary, where the central bank raised rates to fight inflation, was a significant detractor for the period. (Duration is a measure of a bond fund’s sensitivity to interest rates. The longer the duration, the greater the price impact on the bond or portfolio when interest rates rise or fall.) Conversely, a short position in Poland was beneficial, as the central bank was also raising rates. Overall, inflation-linked exposures in Europe and Japan contributed.
Within sector allocation and security selection, exposure to U.S. corporate credit held back relative performance as the sector underperformed due to volatility and waning risk appetite. In currencies, overweights in the euro and the yen had a negative impact on relative results. However, the Fund’s overweight allocation to the Mexican peso was beneficial.
Derivatives are securities that derive their value from the performance of one or more other investments and take the form of a contract between two or more parties. Derivatives can be used for hedging, speculation, or both. As of September 30, 2022, the Fund held interest rate futures, interest rate swaps, credit default swaps, currency forwards, and inflation swaps generating gross exposure of approximately 76.6%. The use of futures, swaps, and options detracted from the Fund’s performance. The use of currency forwards added to returns.
Subadviser outlook
T. Rowe Price observes that valuations have improved as risk assets have pulled back from their recent highs, but uncertainty around corporate fundamentals suggests limited near-term upside, particularly as earnings estimates did not see significant downward revision to reflect rising recession risks. Fund management expects to continue to assess when to add to equities and other risk assets as they evaluate long-term valuations and possible early indications of stabilization or improvement

in macroeconomic conditions. Given the range of potential paths for growth and inflation, Fund management expects their positioning to remain cautious, as they expect that a firm commitment from major central banks to bring down inflation could result in a low ceiling for stocks in the near term, and possibly exacerbate economic contraction through overtightening. In T. Rowe Price’s opinion, other key risks to global markets include the Russia-Ukraine conflict and the associated impact of energy supply shortages, which could weigh on European manufacturing, broader geopolitical instability, and unexpected supply chain disruptions. In T. Rowe Price’s view, these conditions could contribute to a less compelling risk/reward trade-off between stocks and bonds or cash in the near term, and they believe that a more modest allocation to equities may be prudent.

MassMutual Select T. Rowe Price Emerging Markets Bond Fund – Portfolio Manager Report (Unaudited) |
What is the investment approach of MassMutual Select T. Rowe Price Emerging Markets Bond Fund, and who is the Fund’s subadviser?
The Fund seeks to provide high income and capital appreciation. Under normal circumstances, the Fund invests at least 80% of its net assets (plus the amount of any borrowings for investment purposes) in debt securities of emerging market governments or companies located in emerging market countries (including so-called “frontier markets”). The Fund relies on a classification by either J.P. Morgan or the International Monetary Fund to determine which countries are considered emerging markets. The Fund normally will invest in at least three countries. The Fund is subadvised by T. Rowe Price Associates, Inc. (T. Rowe Price).
How did the Fund perform during the 12 months ended September 30, 2022?
The Fund’s Class I shares returned -25.84%, underperforming the -24.28% return of the J.P. Morgan Emerging Markets Bond Index Global Diversified (the “benchmark”), which measures the performance of fixed rate, U.S. dollar-denominated debt instruments issued by emerging market sovereign and quasi-sovereign entities, including Brady bonds, loans, and Eurobonds. The Index limits the weights of those index countries with larger debt stocks by only including a specified portion of a country’s eligible amounts of debt outstanding.
For a discussion on the economic and market environment during the 12-month period ended September 30, 2022, please see the Economic and Market Overview, beginning on page 3.
Subadviser discussion of factors that contributed to the Fund’s performance
For the one-year period ended September 30, 2022, security selection within China was a source of weakness for the Fund, as its holdings of higher-yielding property developers, such as Times China and Shimao, hindered results – as they were dragged lower by tightening domestic financial conditions, liquidity concerns, and recent defaults in the most heavily indebted areas of the Chinese property sector. Consequently, during the period, the Fund eliminated its positions in the Chinese property sector. An underweight allocation to high-quality Chinese sovereign bonds also detracted from the Fund’s relative results amid weaker investor risk appetite and resilient growth in China.
The Fund’s selection of longer-maturity and euro-denominated issues in Romania detracted from relative performance, as did its overweight allocation. High inflation and concerns about a European energy crisis weighed on the country. Euro-denominated issues underperformed amid U.S. dollar strength.
Turning to the positive, the Fund’s significant underweight allocation to Russia and lack of exposure to Belarus aided the Fund’s relative performance, as Russia’s invasion of Ukraine (and Belarus’s support of the former) was met with heavy economic sanctions. The two countries’ assets were removed from major indexes at a price of zero. Fund management eliminated the Fund’s small Russian holdings early in the reporting period. Additionally, the Fund’s underweight allocations to lower-rated Nigeria, Ghana, and Kenya proved beneficial, as investor sentiment was weak and concerns increased about rising food and fuel prices adding pressure to countries with stretched fundamentals. Finally, the Fund’s overweight allocation to higher-yielding Oman was positive, supported by increased oil prices and fiscal reform efforts. These efforts were recognized by a one-notch credit rating upgrade from S&P and Fitch.
Derivatives are securities that derive their value from the performance of one or more other investments and take the form of a contract between two or more parties. Derivatives can be used for hedging, speculation, or both. As of September 30, 2022, the Fund held interest rate futures, currency forwards, and credit default swaps generating gross exposure of approximately 12.0%. The estimated return impact from employing currency forwards and interest rate futures was positive; credit default swaps had a somewhat negative effect on the Fund’s performance during the reporting period.
Subadviser outlook
T. Rowe Price believes that exogenous risks remain a cause for caution. Nevertheless, in Fund management’s observation, recent volatility has moved absolute valuations to below historical averages and increased value dispersion across major markets in the asset class, which created some potential opportunities. In terms of fundamentals, T. Rowe Price observes that, as of the end of the fiscal year, stressed fiscal conditions persisted in some markets due to the lingering effects of the coronavirus pandemic, though strong export demand supported fiscal consolidation in 2022 in many markets.

Rowe Price believes that emerging-market debt continues to offer a substantial yield premium and broadly sound fundamentals, making the asset class potentially compelling on a risk-adjusted basis relative to other credit sectors.

Subadviser discussion of factors that contributed to the Fund’s performance
For the one-year period ended September 30, 2022, within the Fund’s large-cap growth allocation, unfavorable stock selection and an overweight allocation to the communications services sector were notable detractors from the Fund’s relative returns, driven by Fund holdings in the interactive media and services industry. Security selection in the consumer discretionary and information technology sectors also weighed on the Fund’s relative performance. Conversely, favorable stock selection in the health care sector, led by Fund holdings in the health care providers and services industry, contributed to relative returns.
Within the Fund’s large-cap value allocation, an underweight allocation to the energy sector was a notable detractor from relative performance. Stock selection within the health care sector also weighed on the Fund’s relative returns, driven by the pharmaceuticals industry; however, an overweight allocation to the sector moderated the negative impact. Unfavorable stock selection within the materials sector further hurt the Fund’s relative returns, although this was partially offset by an overweight allocation. Additionally, a lack of exposure to the energy sector was a notable detractor from relative results. Security selection in the information technology sector also had a negative impact on the Fund’s relative performance, driven by Fund holdings in the technology hardware, storage, and peripherals industry.
Conversely, the financial sector contributed to relative performance due to strong stock selection, led by Fund holdings in the banking industry. The consumer discretionary sector also had a positive impact on relative returns due to favorable security selection. Within the large-cap core allocation, security selection in the industrials and business services sector contributed to relative performance, led by holdings within the machinery industry. Relative returns were also lifted by an underweight allocation to and favorable stock selection within the communication services sector. Stock selection within the financial sector further aided the Fund’s relative performance.
Subadviser outlook
T. Rowe Price notes that the volatility that gripped global equity and bond markets in the first two quarters of 2022 persisted throughout the third quarter, with most major indexes trending lower over the period. Over the course of the Fund’s fiscal year, central banks raised policy rates, tightening financial conditions, in an effort to combat persistently high inflation. These hawkish moves contributed to elevated equity market volatility and were a catalyst for a sell-off late in the third quarter of 2022. On the other hand, in Fund management’s view, signs suggesting easing inflationary pressures have emerged in recent months, as key input costs – such as oil, lumber, and copper – have declined sharply, while labor participation and employment data suggest a resilient labor in the U.S. in the face of an uncertain growth outlook. Despite conflicting signals, Fund management believes that markets have begun to price in higher recession probabilities, as hopes for a soft landing have diminished. In Fund management’s opinion, it now appears more likely that inflation will take longer to fade and that it will probably settle at high levels, likely above the Fed’s 2% long-term inflation target.

MassMutual Select T. Rowe Price Limited Duration Inflation Focused Bond Fund – Portfolio Manager Report (Unaudited) |
What is the investment approach of MassMutual Select T. Rowe Price Limited Duration Inflation Focused Bond Fund, and who is the Fund’s subadviser?
The Fund seeks a level of income that is consistent with the current rate of inflation. Under normal circumstances, the Fund invests at least 80% of its net assets (plus the amount of any borrowings for investment purposes) in bonds. The Fund invests in a diversified portfolio of short- and intermediate-term investment-grade bonds. The Fund’s investments may include inflation-linked securities, including Treasury Inflation Protected Securities, as well as corporate, government, mortgage-backed, and asset-backed securities. The Fund may also invest in money market securities, bank obligations, collateralized mortgage obligations, and foreign securities. The Fund is subadvised by T. Rowe Price Associates, Inc. (T. Rowe Price).
How did the Fund perform during the 12 months ended September 30, 2022?
The Fund’s Class I shares returned -4.82%, underperforming the -4.09% return of the Bloomberg U.S. 1-5 Year Treasury TIPS Index (the “benchmark”), which measures the performance of inflation-protected securities with maturities of 1-5 years issued by the U.S. Treasury.
For a discussion on the economic and market environment during the 12-month period ended September 30, 2022, please see the Economic and Market Overview, beginning on page 3.
Subadviser discussion of factors that contributed to the Fund’s performance
For the one-year period ended September 30, 2022, interest rate management was the largest detractor from the Fund’s relative results. The Fund’s tactical duration moves were ill-timed, as inflation continued to surprise to the upside, and the significant repricing of Federal Reserve (the “Fed”) rate expectations drove daily interest rate volatility to its highest level since March 2020. (Duration is a measure of a bond fund’s sensitivity to interest rates. The longer the duration, the greater the price impact on the bond or portfolio when interest rates rise or fall.) The Fund’s positioning on the yield curve was beneficial, however, which partially offset the negative impact of duration positioning. (The yield curve is a graph showing the term structure of interest rates by plotting the yields of all bonds of comparable quality with maturities ranging from the shortest – typically one month – to the longest – typically 30 years – available. The resulting curve shows whether short-term interest rates are higher or lower than long-term rates.) The Fund’s out-of-benchmark positions in mortgage-backed securities (MBS), investment-grade corporates, and asset-backed securities (ABS) also weighed on relative performance, as short-dated Treasury inflation-protected securities (TIPS) outperformed most short-duration credit sectors, and the Fund’s position in nominal Treasuries also lagged.
On the positive side, the Fund’s exposure to breakeven spreads via inflation swaps – which are generally used to ensure that the Fund remains inflation hedged when investing outside of the benchmark – contributed to relative results, as inflation expectations increased during the first half of the reporting period. (Breakeven spreads represent the yield differential between nominal Treasuries and TIPS.) Five-year breakeven spreads started the 12-month period at 2.51%, but rose to 3.73% by late March – the highest level since the data series began in 2003. However, breakeven spreads pulled back as the Fed became increasingly hawkish, and finished the period at 2.14%.
Derivatives are securities that derive their value from the performance of one or more other investments and take the form of a contract between two or more parties. Derivatives can be used for hedging, speculation, or both. As of September 30, 2022, the Fund held currency forwards, inflation swaps, interest rate future options, and credit default swaps generating gross exposure of approximately 82.4%. The estimated return impact from employing swaps benefited the Fund’s performance; the use of currency forwards, futures, and options detracted.
Subadviser outlook
In T. Rowe Price’s view, inflation has potentially peaked, and Fund management expects it to slowly move lower before decelerating more quickly in the first half of 2023, assuming that U.S. markets see the lagged effect of declining shelter prices in tandem with goods price deflation due to the strong dollar. Improving data on inventories and supply chain backlogs as of the end of the fiscal year also potentially point to an eventual easing of inflationary pressures, in Fund management’s opinion.

MassMutual Select T. Rowe Price Limited Duration Inflation Focused Bond Fund – Portfolio Manager Report (Unaudited) (Continued) |
Assuming that inflation has peaked, Fund management believes that TIPS appear fairly valued across the breakeven curve. As a result, they expect to trim the Fund’s TIPS allocation and add exposure to out-of-benchmark sectors where they see opportunities such as agency MBS. (“Agency” refers to debt issued by U.S. federal government agencies or government-sponsored entities for financing purposes.) This is consistent with Fund management’s general investment process of using short-term, high-quality spread sectors to add yield to the Fund’s portfolio in periods when they expect inflation to moderate.

MassMutual Select T. Rowe Price Real Assets Fund – Portfolio Manager Report (Unaudited) |
What is the investment approach of MassMutual Select T. Rowe Price Real Assets Fund, and who is the Fund’s subadviser?
The Fund seeks to provide long-term growth of capital. Under normal circumstances, the Fund invests at least 80% of its net assets (plus the amount of any borrowings for investment purposes) in “real assets” and securities of companies that derive at least 50% of their profits or revenues from, or commit at least 50% of assets to, real assets and activities related to real assets. The Fund’s subadviser currently defines real assets broadly and considers them to include any assets that have physical properties, such as energy and natural resources, real estate, basic materials, equipment, utilities and infrastructure, and commodities. The Fund is subadvised by T. Rowe Price Associates, Inc. (T. Rowe Price). In addition, T. Rowe Price Japan, Inc. serves as a sub-subadviser for the Fund.
How did the Fund perform during the 12 months ended September 30, 2022?
The Fund’s Class I shares returned -12.24%, significantly outperforming the -20.66% return of the MSCI All Country World Index (ACWI) (the “benchmark”), which measures the performance of the large- and mid-cap segments of all country markets. It is free float-adjusted market-capitalization weighted.
For a discussion on the economic and market environment during the 12-month period ended September 30, 2022, please see the Economic and Market Overview, beginning on page 3.
Subadviser discussion of factors that contributed to the Fund’s performance
For the one-year period ended September 30, 2022, multi-asset overlays, which the Fund typically employs in an effort to efficiently implement desired positions, had a positive impact on the Fund’s performance, relative to the benchmark.
Despite the Fund’s significant outperformance, its return for the fiscal year was negative on an absolute basis. Security selection within the Fund’s allocation to commodities – which includes exposure to natural resources, precious metals, and global metals and mining – negatively contributed to the Fund’s performance. The Fund’s underlying natural resources portfolio was the largest driver of underperformance, as the portfolio trailed its style-specific benchmark. The Fund’s performance was also held back by selection within its allocation to real estate, which includes exposure to global and U.S. real estate investment trusts (REITs).
Derivatives are securities that derive their value from the performance of one or more other investments and take the form of a contract between two or more parties. Derivatives can be used for hedging, speculation, or both. As of September 30, 2022, the Fund held currency forwards, equity total return swaps, index futures, and interest rate futures generating gross exposure of approximately 16.8%. Employing currency forwards, options, and swaps was a drag on the Fund’s performance; the use of futures enhanced the Fund’s performance during the reporting period.
Subadviser outlook
T. Rowe Price notes that the volatility that gripped global equity and bond markets in the first two quarters of 2022 persisted throughout the third quarter, with most major indexes trending lower over the period.

Subadviser discussion of factors that contributed to the Fund’s performance
For the one-year period ended September 30, 2022, the Fund’s allocations to small-cap growth and value stocks underperformed their benchmarks, while mid-cap stocks outperformed their benchmarks.
Within the small-cap growth allocation, security selection in the information technology (IT) sector was a significant detractor from relative performance, driven by holdings in the IT services industry. An underweight allocation to the energy sector also weighed on the Fund’s relative returns. Stock selection in the health care sector had a further negative impact on relative performance, but the impact was moderated by a favorable overweight allocation to the sector. Conversely, an underweight exposure to the communication services sector contributed to the Fund’s relative results. The real estate sector also aided relative returns due to the Fund’s underweight allocation to the sector, although the impact was partially offset by weak stock selection within the sector.
In the small-cap value allocation, security selection in the financial sector was a notable detractor from relative performance, driven by holdings in the banking industry. Stock selection, coupled with an underweight allocation to the top-performing energy sector, also had a negative impact on the Fund’s relative performance. The utilities sector further weighed on relative results, due to weak security selection. Conversely, an underweight allocation to the communication services sector contributed to relative performance. An underweight allocation to the health care sector, coupled with positive stock selection in that market segment (led by holdings within the biotechnology industry), also aided the Fund’s relative performance.
Within the small-cap core stock allocation, favorable stock selection, coupled with an underweight to the health care sector, contributed to relative returns, driven by holdings in biotechnology. The real estate sector also lifted relative returns due to security selection and an underweight allocation. The communication services sector further bolstered relative performance, owing to an underweight allocation. Conversely, unfavorable stock selection in the industrial and business services sector detracted from relative performance, driven by holdings in the professional services industry. The consumer discretionary sector also weighed on relative results due to less-than-favorable stock picks.
In the mid-cap value allocation, a favorable overweight to the energy sector contributed to relative returns, although the impact was partially offset by weak stock choices. An underweight allocation to the consumer discretionary sector also aided relative results. Positive security selection in the utilities sector further contributed, led by holdings within the electric utilities industry. Conversely, an unfavorable stock selection and an overweight allocation to the health care sector was a notable detractor from relative returns, driven by holdings within the health care equipment and supplies industry. An overweight allocation to the communication services sector also had a negative impact.

MassMutual Select T. Rowe Price Small and Mid Cap Blend Fund – Portfolio Manager Report (Unaudited) (Continued) |
Within the mid-cap growth allocation, favorable stock selection in the consumer discretionary sector contributed to relative returns, led by holdings within the multiline retail industry. Strong stock selection in the health care sector was also beneficial; however, an unfavorable overweight to the sector moderated the impact. Security selection, coupled with an underweight allocation in the communication services sector, lifted relative performance. Conversely, an underweight allocation to the energy sector was a notable detractor from relative returns. Stock choices in the materials sector further weighed on relative results, driven by holdings within the chemicals industry; however, an overweight allocation mostly offset the negative impact.
Derivatives are securities that derive their value from the performance of one or more other investments and take the form of a contract between two or more parties. Derivatives can be used for hedging, speculation, or both. The use of warrants had a negligible impact on the Fund’s performance during the reporting period.

Despite conflicting signals, Fund management believes that markets have begun to price in higher recession probabilities, as hopes for a soft landing have diminished. In Fund management’s opinion, it now appears more likely that inflation will take longer to fade and that it will probably settle at high levels, likely above the Fed’s 2% long-term inflation target.

What is the investment approach of MassMutual Select T. Rowe Price U.S. Treasury Long-Term Index Fund, and who is the Fund’s subadviser?
The Fund seeks a high level of income consistent with capital preservation. Under normal circumstances, the Fund invests at least 80% of its net assets (plus the amount of any borrowings for investment purposes) in securities that are held in its benchmark index, the Bloomberg U.S. Long Treasury Bond Index*, and at least 80% of its net assets (plus the amount of any borrowings for investment purposes) in U.S. Treasury securities, which are backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. Government. The Fund is subadvised by T. Rowe Price Associates, Inc. (T. Rowe Price).

How did the Fund perform during the 12 months ended September 30, 2022?
The Fund’s Class I shares returned -26.97%, underperforming the -26.65% return of the Bloomberg U.S. Long Treasury Bond Index (the “benchmark”), which measures the performance of public obligations of the U.S. Treasury with maturities of 10 years and greater, including securities that roll up to the U.S. Aggregate, U.S. Universal, and Global Aggregate Indexes.

Subadviser discussion of factors that contributed to the Fund’s performance
For the one-year period ended September 30, 2022, the Fund generated deep losses on an absolute basis, as yields across the Treasury curve increased in response to 40-year highs in inflation, strong job growth, and, consequently, rapid monetary tightening by the Federal Reserve (the “Fed”).
In this environment, Fund management’s tactical adjustments to the Fund’s duration during the fiscal year dampened relative performance. (Duration is a measure of a bond fund’s sensitivity to interest rates. The longer the duration, the greater the price impact on the bond or portfolio when interest rates rise or fall.) In March and April of 2022, Fund management generally favored a neutral to modestly long duration posture versus the benchmark, reflecting Fund management’s expectation that heightened macroeconomic and geopolitical uncertainty would exert downward pressure on yields. This positioning detracted from results, however, as long-term U.S. interest rates actually climbed amid thin liquidity and elevated volatility in the Treasury market. The Fund’s neutral to slightly long duration bias through part of September 2022 also impeded performance, as long-term yields increased due in part to strong inflation, and turmoil in the U.K. gilt market rippled across sovereign bonds.
The Fund’s allocation to Ginnie Mae mortgage-backed securities (MBS) detracted slightly, as the Fed’s quantitative tightening pressured MBS performance. This was largely offset, however, by the Fund’s use of higher-coupon Ginnie Mae MBS and collateralized mortgage obligations that outperformed in the rising rate environment. Tactical use of Treasury inflation-protected securities (TIPS) had a net neutral impact on relative performance.
Derivatives are securities that derive their value from the performance of one or more other investments and take the form of a contract between two or more parties. Derivatives can be used for hedging, speculation, or both. As of September 30, 2022, the Fund held interest rate futures and interest rate future options generating gross exposure of approximately 26.5%. Employing futures had a negative impact on the Fund’s performance; the use of options had a negligible return impact on the Fund’s returns during the reporting period.
Subadviser outlook
T. Rowe Price notes that, as of the end of the fiscal year, the Fed signaled rapid increases to its policy interest rate through 2022, consequently hampering risk assets and lessening the odds of a soft landing for the U.S. economy. In T. Rowe Price’s view, as the Fed pursues its longer-run inflation goal of 2%, considerable headwinds to the global economy could test the central bank’s tightening bias beyond 2022. Still, Fund management believes that the bar for a dovish pivot is high, as Fund management observed Fed officials’ pledge to keep the policy rate in restrictive territory until inflation and the labor market cool meaningfully.

Against this backdrop, Fund management believes that there are increased recession risks in the U.S. over the next 12 months, particularly in light of slowed consumer spending and the rate-sensitive housing sector already in contraction as of the end of the fiscal year. In the near term, however, they expect positive economic growth – albeit below potential – thanks to a strong labor market, easing supply bottlenecks, and leftover household savings from previous years’ stimulus.

* | Contracts are subject to a master netting agreement or similar agreement. |
** | Rating represents a weighted average of the ratings of all securities included in the underlying index for the credit default swap. Ratings used in the weighted average are from Moody’s Investors Service, Inc., S&P Global Ratings, or Fitch Ratings, whichever is the highest for each constituent. All ratings are as of the report date and do not reflect subsequent changes. |
† | Payment is based on a percentage of the index. Reference entities are a number of individual issuers comprising the index. |
†† | For each credit derivative with sold protection, the credit ratings of the entities referenced, as rated by any rating organization, are included in the equivalent S&P Global Ratings. The reference entity rating represents the likelihood of a potential payment by the Fund if the referenced entity experiences a credit event as of period end. Notional amounts represent the maximum potential amount of future payments (undiscounted) the Fund could be required to make under the credit derivatives with sold protection. |

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.
Each Fund is an investment company and accordingly follows the investment company accounting and reporting guidance of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification Topic 946, Financial Services – Investment Companies.
Investment Valuation
The net asset value of each Fund’s shares is determined once daily as of the close of regular trading on the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”), on each day the NYSE is open for trading (a “business day”). The NYSE normally closes at 4:00 p.m. Eastern Time, but may close earlier on some days. If the NYSE is scheduled to close early, the business day will be considered to end as of the time of the NYSE’s scheduled close. A Fund will not treat an intraday disruption in NYSE trading or other event that causes an unscheduled closing of the NYSE as a close of business of the NYSE for these purposes; instead, MML Investment Advisers, LLC (“MML Advisers”) will determine the fair value of a Fund’s securities in accordance with MML Advisers’ fair valuation policy and procedures. On holidays and other days when the NYSE is closed, each Fund’s net asset value generally is not calculated and the Funds do not anticipate accepting buy or sell orders. However, the value of each Fund’s assets may still be affected on such days to the extent that a Fund holds foreign securities that trade on days that foreign securities markets are open.
Equity securities and derivative contracts that are actively traded on a national securities exchange or contract market are valued on the basis of information furnished by a pricing service, which provides the last reported sale price, or, in the case of futures contracts, the settlement price, for securities or derivatives listed on the exchange or contract market or the official closing price on the NASDAQ National Market System (“NASDAQ System”), or in the case of over-the-counter (“OTC”) securities for which an official closing price is unavailable or not reported on the NASDAQ System, the last reported bid price. Portfolio securities traded on more than one national securities exchange are valued at the last price at the close of the exchange representing the principal market for such securities. Debt securities are valued on the basis of valuations furnished by a pricing service, which generally determines valuations taking into account factors such as institutional-size trading in similar securities, yield, quality, coupon rate, maturity, type of issue, trading characteristics, and other market data. Shares of other open-end mutual funds are valued at their closing net asset values as reported on each business day.

Notes to Financial Statements (Continued) |
Investments for which market quotations are readily available are marked to market daily based on those quotations. Market quotations may be provided by third-party vendors or market makers, and may be determined on the basis of a variety of factors, such as broker quotations, financial modeling, and other market data, such as market indexes and yield curves, counterparty information, and foreign exchange rates. U.S. Government and agency securities may be valued on the basis of market quotations or using a model that may incorporate market observable data such as reported sales of similar securities, broker quotes, yields, bids, offers, quoted market prices, and reference data. The fair values of OTC derivative contracts, including forward, swap, and option contracts related to interest rates, foreign currencies, credit standing of reference entities, equity prices, or commodity prices, may be based on market quotations or may be modeled using a series of techniques, including simulation models, depending on the contract and the terms of the transaction. The fair values of asset-backed securities and mortgage-backed securities are estimated based on models that consider the estimated cash flows of each debt tranche of the issuer, established benchmark yield, and estimated tranche-specific spread to the benchmark yield based on the unique attributes of the tranche, including, but not limited to, prepayment speed assumptions and attributes of the collateral.
The Board of Trustees (“Trustees”) have designated MML Advisers as the Funds’ “valuation designee,” responsible for determining the fair value, in good faith, of securities and other instruments held by the Funds for which market quotations are not readily available or for which such market quotations or values are considered by MML Advisers or a subadviser to be unreliable (including, for example, certain foreign securities, thinly-traded securities, certain restricted securities, certain initial public offerings, or securities whose values may have been affected by a significant event). It is possible that a significant amount of a Fund’s assets will be subject to fair valuation in accordance with MML Advisers’ fair valuation policy and procedures. The fair value determined for an investment by MML Advisers may differ from recent market prices for the investment and may be significantly different from the value realized upon the sale of such investment.
The Funds may invest in securities that are traded principally in foreign markets and that trade on weekends and other days when the Funds do not price their shares. As a result, the values of the Funds’ portfolio securities may change on days when the prices of the Funds’ shares are not calculated. The prices of the Funds’ shares will reflect any such changes when the prices of the Funds’ shares are next calculated, which is the next business day. The Funds may use fair value pricing more frequently for securities primarily traded in foreign markets because, among other things, most foreign markets close well before the Funds value their securities. The earlier close of these foreign markets gives rise to the possibility that significant events, including broad market moves, may have occurred in the interim. The Funds’ investments may be priced based on fair values provided by a third-party vendor, based on certain factors and methodologies applied by such vendor, in the event that there is movement in the U.S. market, between the close of the foreign market and the time the Funds calculate their net asset values. All assets and liabilities expressed in foreign currencies are converted into U.S. dollars at the mean between the buying and selling rates of such currencies against the U.S. dollar at the end of each business day.
Investments in equity or debt issued by privately held companies or funds (“Private Company” or collectively, the “Private Companies”) and any other investments fair valued using significant unobservable inputs may be fair valued using one or a combination of, but not limited to, the following inputs:
Market approach: (i) recent market transactions, including subsequent rounds of financing, in the underlying investment or comparable issuers; (ii) recapitalizations and other transactions across the capital structure; and (iii) market multiples of comparable issuers.
Income approach: (i) future cash flows discounted to present value and adjusted as appropriate for liquidity, credit, and/or market risks; (ii) quoted prices for similar investments or assets in active markets; and (iii) other risk factors, such as interest rates, yield curves, volatilities, prepayment speeds, loss severities, credit risks, recovery rates, liquidation amounts, and/or default rates.
Cost approach: (i) audited or unaudited financial statements, investor communications, and financial or operational metrics issued by the Private Company; (ii) changes in the valuation of relevant indexes or publicly traded companies comparable to the Private Company; (iii) relevant news and other public sources; and (iv) known secondary market transactions in the Private Company’s interests and merger or acquisition activity in companies comparable to the Private Company.

Notes to Financial Statements (Continued) |
Investments in series of preferred stock issued by Private Companies are typically valued utilizing the Market approach in determining the enterprise value of the company. Such investments often contain rights and preferences that differ from other series of preferred and common stock of the same issuer. Valuation techniques such as the current value method (“CVM”), an option pricing model (“OPM”), a probability weighted expected return model (“PWERM”), or a hybrid of those techniques are used in allocating enterprise value of the company, as deemed appropriate under the circumstances. The CVM allocates value among the various parts of a company’s capital structure assuming that the value of convertible preferred stock is represented by the most favorable claim the preferred stockholders have on the enterprise value as of the valuation date. The use of OPM and PWERM techniques involve a determination of the exit scenarios of the investment in order to appropriately allocate the enterprise value of the company among the various parts of its capital structure.
The Private Companies are not subject to the public company disclosure, timing, and reporting standards as other investments held by a Fund. Typically, the most recently available information for a Private Company is as of a date that is earlier than the date a Fund is calculating its net asset value. This factor may result in a difference between the value of the investment and the price a Fund could receive upon the sale of the investment.
Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. A three-tier hierarchy is utilized to maximize the use of observable market data inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs and to establish classification of fair value measurements for disclosure purposes. Inputs refer broadly to the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability, including assumptions about risk, for example, the risk inherent in a particular valuation technique used to measure fair value (such as a pricing model) and/or the risk inherent in the inputs to the valuation technique. Inputs may be observable or unobservable. Observable inputs are inputs that reflect the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability and are developed based on market data obtained from sources independent of the reporting entity. Unobservable inputs are inputs that reflect the reporting entity’s own assumptions about the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability and are developed based on the best information available in the circumstances. The three-tier hierarchy of inputs is summarized in the three broad Levels listed below. The inputs or methodology used for valuing investments are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those investments and the determination of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement in its entirety requires judgment and consideration of factors specific to each security.
Level 1 – quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical investments that the Funds can access at the measurement date
Level 2 – other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar investments, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.)
Level 3 – significant unobservable inputs, to the extent observable inputs are not available (including the Funds’ own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments)
The availability of observable inputs can vary from security to security and is affected by a wide variety of factors, including, for example, the type of security, whether the security is new and not yet established in the marketplace, the liquidity of markets, and other characteristics particular to the security. To the extent that valuation is based on models or inputs that are less observable or unobservable in the market, the determination of fair value requires more judgment. Accordingly, the degree of judgment exercised in determining fair value is greatest for instruments categorized in Level 3.
Changes in valuation techniques may result in transfers in or out of an investment’s assigned Level within the hierarchy. In addition, in periods of market dislocation, the observability of prices and inputs may be reduced for many instruments. This condition, as well as changes related to liquidity of investments, could cause a security to be reclassified between Levels.
In certain cases, the inputs used to measure fair value may fall into different Levels of the fair value hierarchy. In such cases, for disclosure purposes, the Level in the fair value hierarchy within which the fair value measurement falls is determined based on the lowest Level input that is significant to the overall fair value measurement.

The MM Select T. Rowe Price Small and Mid Cap Blend Fund may fair value certain of its Level 3 investments using acquisition cost, although the transaction may not have occurred during the current reporting period. These investments are generally privately held investments, but may include defaulted securities and new debt issuances. There may not be a secondary market for such investments, and/or there are a limited number of investors. The determination to fair value such investments at cost is based upon factors consistent with the principles of fair value measurement that are reasonably available to the Valuation Committee. Valuations are reviewed by members of the Valuation Committee utilizing available market information to determine if the carrying value of these investments should be adjusted. Such market data may include, but is not limited to, observations of the trading multiples of public companies considered comparable to the private companies being valued, financial or operational

Rowe Price Small and Mid Cap Blend Fund. All market variables are assessed on a regular frequency and calibrated as necessary.

Derivative Instruments
Derivatives are financial instruments whose values are based on the values of one or more underlying indicators, such as a security, asset, currency, interest rate, or index. Derivative transactions can create investment leverage and may be highly volatile. Losses from derivatives can be substantially greater than the derivatives’ original cost and can sometimes be unlimited. A Fund may not be able to close out a derivative transaction at a favorable time or price.

The Portfolio of Investments included in a Fund’s financial statements shows the assets or liabilities of the Fund associated with individual derivatives transactions. The terms of many of those transactions contemplate that derivatives receivables and payables between the same two parties may be netted and that the parties will collateralize certain obligations. The following tables provide an illustration of the possible effect of netting provisions and of collateral (delivered or received) on a Fund’s derivatives exposure as of September 30, 2022. Netting arrangements vary among different counterparties, and the actual disposition of derivatives receivables and payables, and of collateral, in a bankruptcy or insolvency can be complicated and difficult to predict.

Such agreements typically permit a single net payment in the event of default, including the bankruptcy or insolvency of the counterparty. The Fund(s) and counterparties may not be permitted to sell, re-pledge, or use the collateral they receive. In the event that cash collateral is restricted for use, the balance will be reflected as restricted cash within the Statement of Assets and Liabilities.
Further details regarding the derivatives and other investments held by the Fund(s) during the year ended September 30, 2022, are discussed below.
Foreign Currency Exchange Transactions
A Fund may enter into foreign currency exchange transactions for hedging purposes in order to protect against uncertainty in the level of future foreign currency exchange rates, or for other, non-hedging purposes.
A Fund may enter into foreign currency exchange transactions, including foreign currency forward contracts. These contracts call for the Fund to deliver in the future an amount of one currency in return for an amount of another currency, at an exchange rate determined at the time the contract is entered into. Forward contracts are private contractual arrangements and a Fund is subject to the risk that its counterparty will not, or will not be able to, perform its obligations. This type of arrangement may require the Fund to post margin. A Fund may also buy and sell options on currencies. When the Fund buys an option, its loss should generally be limited to the amount of the premium paid and any transaction costs. If a Fund sells an option on a currency, it is subject generally to the same risks as if it had entered into a futures contract or forward contract with respect to that currency. A Fund may enter into foreign currency exchange transactions in order to hedge against changes in the values of the assets or liabilities denominated in one or more foreign currencies, or otherwise to increase or reduce a Fund’s exposure to various foreign currencies. The use of foreign currency exchange transactions may create investment leverage.
Whenever a Fund enters into a foreign currency exchange transaction, it is subject to the risk that the value of the transaction will move in a direction unfavorable to it. When the Fund uses the transactions for hedging purposes, it is likely that the Fund will have an asset or liability that will offset any loss (or gain) on the transactions, at least in part. If a Fund enters into foreign currency exchange transactions other than for hedging purposes (for example, seeking to profit from an anticipated change in the values of currencies by creating directional exposures in the portfolio with respect to one or more currencies), it will generally be subject to the same risks, but is less likely to have assets or liabilities that will offset any losses on the transactions. There can be no assurance that a Fund will be able to terminate any foreign currency exchange transaction prior to its maturity in order to limit its loss on the transaction.
Forward foreign currency contracts are marked to market daily and the change in their value is recorded by the Funds as an unrealized gain or loss. Forward foreign currency contracts are valued at the settlement price established through dealers or other market sources on the day which they are traded. When a forward foreign currency contract is extinguished, through delivery or offset by entering into another forward foreign currency contract, the Funds record a realized gain or loss equal to the difference between the value of the contract at the time it was opened and the value of the contract at the time it was extinguished or offset. The notional or contractual amounts of these instruments do not necessarily represent the amounts potentially subject to risk. The measurement of the risk associated with these instruments is meaningful only when all related and offsetting transactions and counterparty risks are considered. For information regarding the accounting treatment of options, see “Options, Rights, and Warrants” below.
A Fund’s current exposure to a counterparty is the unrealized appreciation/(depreciation) on the contract.
Futures Contracts
A Fund may seek to manage a variety of different risks, such as interest rate risk, equity price risk, and currency risk, through the use of futures contracts and related options.
Futures Contracts. A Fund may use interest rate futures contracts to adjust the interest rate sensitivity (duration) of its portfolio or the credit exposure of the portfolio. Interest rate futures contracts obligate the long or short holder to take or make delivery of a specified quantity of a financial instrument, such as a specific fixed income security, during a specified future period at
144
Notes to Financial Statements (Continued) |
a specified price. A Fund may use index futures contracts to hedge against broad market risks to its portfolio or to gain broad market exposure when it holds uninvested cash or as an inexpensive substitute for cash investments directly in securities or other assets, including commodities and precious metals. Securities index futures contracts are contracts to buy or sell units of a securities index at a specified future date at a price agreed upon when the contract is made and are settled in cash. Positions in futures contracts may be closed out only on an exchange or board of trade which provides a market for such futures. Because futures contracts are exchange-traded, they typically have minimal exposure to counterparty risk.
Parties to a futures contract are not required to post the entire notional amount of the contract, but rather a small percentage of that amount (by way of margin), both at the time they enter into futures transactions, and then on a daily basis if their positions decline in value; as a result, futures contracts are highly leveraged. Such payments are known as variation margin and are recorded by the Funds as unrealized gains or losses. Because futures markets are highly leveraged, they can be extremely volatile, and there can be no assurance that the pricing of a futures contract will correlate precisely with the pricing of the asset or index underlying it or the asset or liability of the Fund that is the subject of the hedge. It may not always be possible for a Fund to enter into a closing transaction with respect to a futures contract it has entered into, at a favorable time or price. When a Fund enters into a futures transaction, it is subject to the risk that the value of the futures contract will move in a direction unfavorable to it. When a Fund uses futures contracts for hedging purposes, it is likely that the Fund will have an asset or liability that will offset any loss (or gain) on the transactions, at least in part.
Options on Futures Contracts. If a Fund buys an option on a futures contract, it will have the right to assume a futures contract at a particular price during the course of the option. Its potential loss should generally be limited to the amount of the premium paid and any transaction costs. If a Fund sells an option on a futures contract, it is subject generally to the same risks as if it had entered into a futures contract underlying the option itself.
When a futures contract is closed, the Fund records a realized gain or loss equal to the difference between the value of the contract at the time it was opened and the value at the time it was closed. Futures contracts are valued at the settlement price established each day by the board of trade or exchange on which they are traded. For information regarding the accounting treatment of options, see “Options, Rights, and Warrants” below.
Swap Agreements
Swap agreements are typically two-party contracts entered into primarily by institutional investors. In a standard “swap” transaction, two parties agree to exchange the returns (or differentials in rates of return) earned or realized on particular predetermined investments or instruments or rates, which may be adjusted for an interest factor. The gross returns to be exchanged or “swapped” between the parties are generally calculated with respect to a “notional amount,” (i.e., the return on or increase in value of a particular dollar amount invested at a particular interest rate or in a “basket” of securities representing a particular index).
Interest Rate Swaps. When a Fund enters into an interest rate swap, it typically agrees to make payments to its counterparty based on a specified long- or short-term interest rate, and will receive payments from its counterparty based on another interest rate. Other forms of interest rate swap agreements include, among others, interest rate caps, under which, in return for a specified payment stream, one party agrees to make payments to the other to the extent that interest rates exceed a specified rate, or “cap”; interest rate floors, under which, in return for a specified payment stream, one party agrees to make payments to the other to the extent that interest rates fall below a specified rate, or “floor”; and interest rate collars, under which a party sells a cap and purchases a floor or vice versa in an attempt to protect itself against interest rate movements exceeding given minimum or maximum levels. A Fund may enter into an interest rate swap in order, for example, to hedge against the effect of interest rate changes on the value of specific securities in its portfolio, or to adjust the interest rate sensitivity (duration) or the credit exposure of its portfolio overall, or otherwise as a substitute for a direct investment in debt securities.
Total Return Swaps. A Fund also may enter into total return swaps. In a total return swap, one party typically agrees to pay to the other a short-term interest rate in return for a payment at one or more times in the future based on the increase in the value of an underlying security or other asset, or index of securities or assets; if the underlying security, asset, or index declines in value, the party that pays the short-term interest rate must also pay to its counterparty a payment based on the amount of the decline. A Fund
145
Notes to Financial Statements (Continued) |
may take either side of such a swap, and so may take a long or short position in the underlying security, asset, or index. A Fund may enter into a total return swap to hedge against an exposure in its portfolio — such as interest rate risk (including to adjust the duration or credit quality of a Fund’s bond portfolio), equity risk, or credit risk — or generally to put cash to work efficiently in the markets in anticipation of, or as a replacement for, cash investments. A Fund may also enter into a total return swap to gain exposure to securities or markets in which it might not be able to invest directly (in so-called market access transactions).
Credit Default Swaps. A Fund also may enter into credit default swap transactions, as a “buyer” or “seller” of credit protection. In a credit default swap, one party provides what is in effect insurance against a default or other adverse credit event affecting an issuer of debt securities (typically referred to as a “reference entity”). In general, the buyer of credit protection is obligated to pay the protection seller an upfront amount or a periodic stream of payments over the term of the swap. If a “credit event” occurs, the buyer has the right to deliver to the seller bonds or other obligations of the reference entity (with a value up to the full notional value of the swap), and to receive a payment equal to the par value of the bonds or other obligations. Credit events that would trigger a request that the seller make payment are specific to each credit default swap agreement, but generally include bankruptcy, failure to pay, restructuring, acceleration, default, or repudiation/moratorium. When a Fund buys protection, it may or may not own securities of the reference entity. If it does own securities of the reference entity, the swap serves as a hedge against a decline in the value of the securities due to the occurrence of a credit event involving the issuer of the securities. If the Fund does not own securities of the reference entity, the credit default swap may be seen to create a short position in the reference entity. If a Fund is a buyer and no credit event occurs, the Fund will typically recover nothing under the swap, but will have had to pay the required upfront payment and stream of continuing payments under the swap. When a Fund sells protection under a credit default swap, the position may have the effect of creating leverage in the Fund’s portfolio through the Fund’s indirect long exposure to the issuer or securities on which the swap is written. When a Fund sells protection, it may do so either to earn additional income or to create a “synthetic” long position.
Whenever a Fund enters into a swap agreement, it takes on counterparty risk — the risk that its counterparty will be unable or unwilling to meet its obligations under the swap agreement. The Fund also takes the risk that the market will move against its position in the swap agreement. In the case of an interest rate swap, the value of the swap may increase or decrease depending on changes in interest rates. In the case of a total return swap, the swap will change in value depending on the change in value of the asset or index on which the swap is written. In the case of a credit default swap, the swap will become more or less valuable depending on the credit of the issuer of the underlying security, and, if a credit event occurs under a swap where the Fund is the seller of credit protection, the Fund could be required to purchase the security at par value, resulting in a significant loss to the Fund. When the Fund enters into any type of swap for hedging purposes, it is likely that the Fund will have an asset or liability that will offset any loss (or gain) on the swap, at least in part. Swap agreements may be non-transferable or otherwise highly illiquid, and a Fund may not be able to terminate or transfer a swap agreement at any particular time or at an acceptable price.
Centrally Cleared Swaps. Certain clearinghouses currently offer clearing for limited types of derivatives transactions, principally certain interest rate swaps, certain index swaps, and credit derivatives. In a cleared derivative transaction, a Fund typically enters into the transaction with a financial institution counterparty, and performance of the transaction is effectively guaranteed by a central clearinghouse, thereby reducing or eliminating the Fund’s exposure to the credit risk of its original counterparty. The Fund will be required to post amounts (“initial margin”) with the clearinghouse or at the instruction of the clearinghouse. The initial margin required by a clearinghouse may be greater than the initial margin the Fund would be required to post in an uncleared transaction. If cash is deposited as the initial margin, it is shown as collateral on a Fund’s Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Swap agreements are marked-to-market daily and subsequent payments (“variation margin”) are made or received by a Fund depending on whether unrealized gains or losses are incurred. These amounts are reflected as receivables or payables on a Fund’s Statement of Assets and Liabilities (“Variation margin on open derivative instruments”) and as a component of net change in unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on a Fund’s Statement of Operations. Only a limited number of transaction types are currently eligible for clearing.
During the term of a swap transaction, changes in the value of the swap are recognized as unrealized gains or losses by marking to market to reflect the market value of the swap. When the swap is terminated, a Fund will record a realized gain or loss equal to the difference, if any, between the proceeds from (or cost of) the closing transaction and a Fund’s basis in the agreement. Upfront swap premium payments paid or received by a Fund, if any, are recorded within the value of the open swap agreement on the Fund’s Statement of Assets and Liabilities and represent payments paid or received upon entering into the swap agreement
146
Notes to Financial Statements (Continued) |
to compensate for differences between stated terms of the swap agreement and prevailing market conditions (credit spreads, currency exchange rates, and other relevant factors). These upfront payments are recorded as realized gain or loss on the Fund’s Statement of Operations upon termination or maturity of the swap agreement.
During the term of a swap transaction, the periodic net payments can be made for a set period of time or may be triggered by a predetermined credit event. The net periodic payments may be based on a fixed or variable interest rate, the change in market value of a specified security, basket of securities or index, or the return generated by a security. These periodic payments received or made by the Funds are recorded in the accompanying Statements of Operations as realized gains and losses, respectively.
A Fund’s current exposure to a counterparty is the fair value of the transaction.
Options, Rights, and Warrants
A Fund may purchase and sell put and call options on portfolio securities or an index of securities to enhance investment performance or to protect against changes in market prices. A Fund that invests in debt securities may also purchase and sell put and call options to adjust the interest rate sensitivity of its portfolio or the credit exposure of the portfolio.
Call Options. A call option gives the holder the right to purchase, and obligates the writer to sell, a security at the strike price at any time before the expiration date in the case of an American-style option or only on the expiration date in the case of a European-style option.
Put Options. A put option gives the holder the right to sell, and obligates the writer to buy, a security at the exercise price.
Writing put and call options. A Fund may write call options on a security it owns, in a “directional” strategy hoping to realize a greater current return through the receipt of premiums. In return for the option premium, the Fund takes the risk that it will have to forego any increase in the value of the security over the strike price. When a Fund has written a call option on a security it does not own, its exposure on such an option is theoretically unlimited. A Fund may enter into closing purchase transactions in order to realize a profit or limit a loss on a previously written call option or, in the case of a call option on a security it owns, to free itself to sell the underlying security or to write another call on the security, or protect a security from being called in an unexpected market rise. Any profits from a closing purchase transaction in the case of a call option on a security a Fund owns may be offset by a decline in the value of the underlying security. Conversely, because increases in the market price of a call option will generally reflect increases in the market price of the underlying security, any loss resulting from a closing purchase transaction relating to a call option on a security a Fund owns is likely to be offset in whole or in part by unrealized appreciation of the underlying security owned by the Fund. A Fund may not be able to close out a call option that it has previously written. A Fund may write put options in order to enhance its current return by taking a long directional position as to a security or index of securities. By writing a put option, the Fund assumes the risk that it may be required to purchase the underlying security for an exercise price higher than its then current market value, resulting in a potential capital loss unless the security later appreciates in value. A Fund may terminate a put option that it has written before it expires by entering into a closing purchase transaction. Any loss from this transaction may be partially or entirely offset by the premium received on the terminated option. A Fund may not be able to close out a put option that it has previously written.
When a Fund writes a call or put option, an amount equal to the premium received is recorded as a liability. Premiums received from writing options which expire are treated as realized gains. Premiums received from writing options which are exercised or closed are added to the proceeds or offset against the amount paid on the underlying investment to determine the realized gain or loss.
Purchasing put and call options. A Fund may purchase put options to protect portfolio holdings against a decline in market value of a security or securities held by it. A Fund may also purchase a put option hoping to profit from an anticipated decline in the value of the underlying security. If the Fund holds the security underlying the option, the option premium and any transaction costs will reduce any profit the Fund might have realized had it sold the underlying security instead of buying the put option. A Fund may purchase call options to hedge against an increase in the price of securities that the Fund wants ultimately to buy. A Fund may also purchase a call option as a long directional investment hoping to profit from an anticipated increase in the
147
Notes to Financial Statements (Continued) |
value of the underlying security. In order for a call option to be profitable, the market price of the underlying security must rise sufficiently above the exercise price to cover the premium and transaction costs. These costs will reduce any profit the Fund might have realized had it bought the underlying security at the time it purchased the call option.
When a Fund purchases an option, it runs the risk that it will lose its entire investment in the option in a relatively short period of time, unless the Fund exercises the option or enters into a closing sale transaction before the option’s expiration. If the price of the underlying security does not rise (in the case of a call) or fall (in the case of a put) to an extent sufficient to cover the option premium and transaction costs, the Fund will lose part or all of its investment in the option. This contrasts with an investment by a Fund in the underlying security, since the Fund will not realize a loss if the security’s price does not change. Premiums paid for purchasing options that expire are treated as realized losses.
Exchange Traded Options. Exchange traded options purchased or sold by a Fund may be traded on a securities or options exchange or market. Such options typically have minimal exposure to counterparty risk. However, an exchange or market may at times find it necessary to impose restrictions on particular types of options transactions, such as opening transactions. If an underlying security ceases to meet qualifications imposed by the market or the Options Clearing Corporation, new series of options on that security will no longer be opened to replace expiring series, and opening transactions in existing series may be prohibited. Exchange traded options are valued at the last sale price, or if no sales are reported, the last bid price.
OTC Options. OTC options purchased or sold by a Fund are not traded on securities or options exchanges or backed by clearinghouses. Rather, they are entered into directly between a Fund and the counterparty to the option. In the case of an OTC option purchased by the Fund, the value of the option to the Fund will depend on the willingness and ability of the option writer to perform its obligations to the Fund. In addition, OTC options may not be transferable and there may be little or no secondary market for them, so they may be considered illiquid. It may not be possible to enter into closing transactions with respect to OTC options or otherwise to terminate such options, and as a result a Fund may be required to remain obligated on an unfavorable OTC option until its expiration. OTC options are valued using prices supplied by a primary pricing source, selected pursuant to procedures approved by the Trustees.
Rights and Warrants. A Fund may purchase or hold warrants or rights in order to gain exposure to the underlying security without owning the security, including, for example, cases where the Fund hopes to lock in the price today of a security it may wish to purchase in the future. Warrants generally give the holder the right, but not the obligation, to buy a security at a stated price. In order for a warrant to be profitable, the market price of the underlying security must rise sufficiently above the exercise price to cover any premium and transaction costs. Rights may similarly confer on the holder the right to purchase or acquire securities, including through participation in a so-called rights offering. Bonds may be issued with warrants or other rights attached to purchase or acquire equity or other debt securities, typically of the bond issuer. The market prices of bonds with warrants or rights attached to purchase equity securities or bonds may, to some degree, reflect changes in the values of the underlying securities.
When a Fund purchases or otherwise acquires warrants or other rights, it runs the risk that it will lose its entire investment in the warrants or rights, unless the Fund exercises the warrant or right, acquires the underlying securities, or enters into a closing transaction before expiration. If the price of the underlying security does not rise to an extent sufficient to cover any premium and transaction costs, the Fund will lose part or all of its investment. Any premiums or purchase price paid for warrants or other rights that expire are treated as realized losses. Warrants and similar rights differ from options in that they are typically written by the issuer of the security underlying the warrant or right. Although some warrants and rights may be non-transferable, others may be traded over-the-counter or on an exchange.
Hybrid Instruments
A hybrid instrument may be a debt security, preferred stock, warrant, convertible security, certificate of deposit, or other evidence of indebtedness on which a portion of or all interest payments, and/or the principal or stated amount payable at maturity, redemption, or retirement, is determined by reference to one or more underlying assets, indexes, economic factors, or other benchmarks. Because hybrid instruments may be designed to provide indirect exposures to virtually any type of derivative instrument, a Fund may invest in a hybrid instrument for any purpose it might engage in derivatives transactions. Hybrid instruments may take a number of forms, including, for example, debt instruments with interest or principal payments or
148
Notes to Financial Statements (Continued) |
redemption terms determined by reference to the value of an index, security, or other measure at a future time, preferred stock with dividend rates determined by reference to the value of a currency, or convertible securities where the conversion terms relate to a particular commodity. The risks of investing in a hybrid instrument may, depending on the nature of the instrument, reflect a combination of the risks of investing in securities, options, futures, currencies or other types of investments, and will depend upon the terms of the instrument. Such risks generally depend upon factors unrelated to the operations or credit quality of the issuer of the hybrid instrument, and may not be foreseen by the purchaser, such as financial or market developments, economic and political events, the supply and demand of the underlying assets, and interest rate movements. Hybrid instruments may be highly volatile and their use by a Fund may not be successful. The terms of a hybrid instrument may create investment leverage. Hybrid instruments are typically privately issued, presenting credit risk of the issuer, and may be highly illiquid and difficult to value.
Inflation-Linked Securities
Inflation-linked securities are typically fixed income securities whose principal values are periodically adjusted according to a measure of inflation. If the index measuring inflation falls, the principal value of an inflation-linked security will be adjusted downward, and consequently the interest payable on the security (calculated with respect to a smaller principal amount) will be reduced. Repayment of the original principal of the security upon maturity (as adjusted for inflation) is guaranteed in the case of U.S. Treasury inflation-linked securities. For securities that do not provide a similar guarantee, the adjusted principal value of the security repaid at maturity may be less than the original principal.
Alternatively, the interest rates payable on certain inflation-linked securities may be adjusted according to a measure of inflation. As a result, the principal values of such securities do not adjust according to the rate of inflation, although the interest payable on such securities may decline during times of falling inflation.
The values of inflation-linked securities are expected to change in response to changes in real interest rates. Real interest rates are tied to the relationship between nominal interest rates and the rate of inflation. If nominal interest rates increase at a faster rate than inflation, real interest rates may rise, leading to a decrease in value of inflation-linked securities. Inflation-linked securities may cause a potential cash flow mismatch to investors, because an increase in the principal amount of an inflation-linked security will be treated as interest income currently subject to tax at ordinary income rates even though investors will not receive repayment of principal until maturity. If a Fund invests in such securities, it will be required to distribute such interest income in order to qualify for treatment as a regulated investment company and eliminate the Fund-level tax, without a corresponding receipt of cash, and therefore may be required to dispose of portfolio securities at a time when it may not be advantageous to do so in order to make such distributions.
Bank Loans
A Fund may invest in bank loans including, for example, corporate loans, loan participations, direct debt, bank debt, and bridge debt. A Fund may invest in a loan by lending money to a borrower directly as part of a syndicate of lenders. In a syndicated loan, the agent that originated and structured the loan typically administers and enforces the loan on behalf of the syndicate. Failure by the agent to fulfill its obligations may delay or adversely affect receipt of payment by a Fund. A Fund may also invest in loans through novations, assignments, and participation interests. In a novation, a Fund typically assumes all of the rights of a lending institution in a loan, including the right to receive payments of principal and interest and other amounts directly from the borrower and to enforce its rights as a lender directly against the borrower. When a Fund takes an assignment of a loan, the Fund acquires some or all of the interest of another lender (or assignee) in the loan. In such cases, the Fund may be required generally to rely upon the assignor to demand payment and enforce rights under the loan. If a Fund acquires a participation in the loan, the Fund purchases an indirect interest in a loan held by a third party and the Fund typically will have a contractual relationship only with the third party loan investor, not with the borrower. As a result, a Fund may have the right to receive payments of principal, interest, and any fees to which it is entitled only from the loan investor selling the participation and only upon receipt by such loan investor of such payments from the borrower. In such cases, a Fund assumes the credit risk of both the borrower and the loan investor selling the participation, and the Fund may be unable to realize some or all of the value of its interest in the loan in the event of the insolvency of the third party.
149
Notes to Financial Statements (Continued) |
Changes in the financial condition of the borrower or economic conditions or other circumstances may reduce the capacity of the borrower to make principal and interest payments on such instruments and may lead to defaults. The value of any collateral securing a bank loan may decline after the Fund invests, and there is a risk that the value of the collateral may not be sufficient to cover the amount owed to the Fund.
The MM Select T. Rowe Price Bond Asset Fund entered into certain loan agreements which are unfunded. The MM Select T. Rowe Price Bond Asset Fund is obligated to fund these commitments at the borrower’s discretion. These commitments are disclosed in the MM Select T. Rowe Price Bond Asset Fund’s Portfolio of Investments. At September 30, 2022, the MM Select T. Rowe Price Bond Asset Fund had sufficient cash and/or securities to cover these commitments.
Repurchase Agreements
Each Fund may enter into repurchase agreements with certain banks and broker-dealers whereby a Fund acquires a security for cash and obtains a simultaneous commitment from the seller to repurchase the security at an agreed upon price and date. A Fund, through its custodian, takes possession of the securities collateralizing the repurchase agreement in a segregated account. Repurchase agreements must be fully collateralized at all times, but involve some risk to a Fund if the other party should default on its obligation and the Fund is delayed or prevented from recovering the collateral, or if the Fund is required to return collateral to a borrower at a time when it may realize a loss on the investment of that collateral.
When-Issued, Delayed-Delivery, Forward Commitment, and To-Be-Announced Transactions
A Fund may enter into when-issued, delayed-delivery, forward commitment, or to-be-announced (“TBA”) transactions (collectively, the “Forward Transactions”) in order to lock in the purchase price of the underlying security, or in order to adjust the interest rate exposure of the Fund’s existing portfolio. In Forward Transactions, a Fund commits to purchase or sell particular securities, with payment and delivery to take place at a future date. In the case of TBA purchase commitments, the unit price and the estimated principal amount are established when the Fund enters into a commitment, with the actual principal amount being within a specified range of the estimate. Although a Fund does not typically pay for the securities in these types of transactions until they are delivered, it immediately assumes the risks of ownership, including the risk of price fluctuation. As a result, each of these types of transactions may create investment leverage in a Fund’s portfolio and increase the volatility of the Fund. If a Fund’s counterparty fails to deliver a security purchased in a Forward Transaction, there may be a loss, and the Fund may have missed an opportunity to make an alternative investment.
These securities are valued on the basis of valuations furnished by a pricing service, selected pursuant to procedures approved by the Trustees, which determines valuations taking into account appropriate factors such as institutional-size trading in similar groups of securities, yield, quality, coupon rate, maturity, type of issue, trading characteristics, and other market data. Securities for which no market quotation is available are valued at fair value in accordance with procedures approved by the Trustees. The Funds record on a daily basis the unrealized appreciation (depreciation) based upon changes in the values of these securities. When a Forward Transaction is closed, the Funds record a realized gain or loss equal to the difference between the value of the transaction at the time it was opened and the value of the transaction at the time it was closed.
Dollar Roll Transactions
A Fund may enter into dollar roll transactions, in which the Fund sells mortgage-backed securities for delivery in the current month and simultaneously contracts to purchase substantially similar securities on a specified future date from the same party. A Fund may invest in dollar rolls in order to benefit from anticipated changes in pricing for the mortgage-backed securities during the term of the transaction, or for the purpose of creating investment leverage. In a dollar roll, the securities that are to be purchased will be of the same type as the securities sold, but will be supported by different pools of mortgages.
Dollar rolls involve the risk that the Fund’s counterparty will be unable to deliver the mortgage-backed securities underlying the dollar roll at the fixed time. If the counterparty files for bankruptcy or becomes insolvent, a Fund’s use of the transaction proceeds may be restricted pending a determination by the counterparty or its representative, whether to enforce the Fund’s obligation to

repurchase the securities. A Fund can incur a loss on a dollar roll transaction (either because its counterparty fails to perform or because the value of the mortgages subject to the transaction declines) and on the investments made by the Fund with the proceeds of the dollar roll transaction.
A Fund accounts for a dollar roll transaction as a purchase and sale whereby the difference in the sales price and purchase price of the security sold is recorded as a realized gain (loss). If certain criteria are met, these dollar roll transactions may be considered financing transactions, whereby the difference in the sales price and the future purchase price is recorded as an adjustment to interest income. Dollar roll transactions generally have the effect of creating leverage in a Fund’s portfolio.
Securities Lending
Each Fund may lend its securities; however, lending cannot exceed 33% of the total assets of the Fund taken at current value. The Funds’ securities lending activities are governed by a Securities Lending Agency Agreement (“Lending Agreement”) between each Fund and the lending agent (“Agent”). The Lending Agreement authorizes the Agent to lend portfolio securities held by a Fund to approved borrowers (each, a “Borrower”).
Each Fund expects that in connection with any securities on loan, the loan will be secured continuously by collateral consisting of cash (U.S. currency) and/or securities (U.S. Treasury and Agency obligations) adjusted daily to have value at least equal to the current market value of the securities loaned. The market value of the loaned securities is determined at the close of business of a Fund and any additional collateral is delivered to the Fund the next business day. The Funds bear the risk of loss with respect to the investment of cash collateral. As with other extensions of credit, the Funds may bear the risk of delay in recovery of the loaned securities or even loss of rights in the collateral should the Borrower of the securities fail financially. Pursuant to the Lending Agreement, the Agent has provided indemnification to the Funds in the event of default by a Borrower with respect to a loan. The Funds receive compensation for lending their securities in the form of a securities loan fee paid by the Borrower, as well as a share of the income earned on investment of the cash collateral received for the loaned securities. At September 30, 2022, the Funds’ collateral was equal to or greater than 100% of the market value of securities on loan and all of the Funds’ cash collateral was invested in the State Street Navigator Securities Lending Government Money Market Portfolio.
Subject to the terms of the Lending Agreement and the agreement between the Agent and the applicable Borrower (“Borrowing Agreement”), security loans can be terminated by the Agent, the Fund, or the Borrower and the related securities must be returned within the earlier of the customary settlement period for such securities or the period of time specified in the Borrowing Agreement.
The Funds employ the Agent to implement their securities lending program and the Agent receives a fee from the Funds for its services. In addition, the Funds may be required to pay a rebate to the Borrower. Accordingly, a Fund’s compensation for lending its securities is reduced by any such fees or rebate paid to the Agent or Borrower, respectively. Income received by the Funds in securities lending transactions during the year ended September 30, 2022, is reflected as securities lending income on the Statement of Operations.
Accounting for Investment Transactions
Investment transactions are accounted for on the trade date. Realized gains and losses on sales of investments and unrealized appreciation and depreciation of investments are computed by the specific identification cost method. Proceeds received from litigation, if any, are included in realized gains on investment transactions for any investments that are no longer held in the portfolio and as a reduction in cost for investments that continue to be held in the portfolio. Interest income, adjusted for amortization of discounts and premiums on debt securities, is earned from the settlement date and is recorded on the accrual basis. Dividend income and realized capital gain distributions are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Withholding taxes on foreign interest, dividends, and capital gains have been provided for in accordance with the applicable country’s tax rules and rates. Foreign dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date or as soon as practicable after the Fund determines the existence of a dividend declaration after exercising reasonable due diligence. Distributions received on securities that represent a return of capital or capital gains are recorded as a reduction of cost of investments and/or as a realized gain.

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 resulting from changes in exchange rates include foreign currency gains and losses between trade date and settlement date on investment securities transactions, foreign currency transactions, and the difference between the amounts of dividends or interest recorded on the books of the Funds and the amount actually received.
Foreign Securities
The MM Select T. Rowe Price Real Assets Fund invests a significant amount of its assets in foreign securities and the MM Select T. Rowe Price Emerging Markets Bond Fund invests substantially all of its assets in foreign securities. The other Funds may also invest in foreign securities. Foreign securities, including American Depositary Receipts, are subject to additional risks compared to securities of U.S. issuers, including international trade, currency, political, regulatory, public health, and diplomatic risks. In addition, fluctuations in currency exchange rates may favorably or unfavorably affect the values of foreign securities and the price of a Fund’s shares. Emerging markets securities are subject to greater risks than securities issued in developed foreign markets, including less liquidity, less stringent investor protection and disclosure standards, less reliable settlement practices, greater price volatility, higher relative rates of inflation, greater political, economic, and social instability, greater custody and operational risks, greater risk of new or inconsistent government treatment of or restrictions on issuers and instruments, and greater volatility in currency exchange rates, and are more susceptible to environmental problems.
Federal Income Tax
It is each Fund’s intent to continue to comply with the provisions of Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), applicable to a regulated investment company. Under such provisions, the Funds would not be subject to federal income taxes on their ordinary income and net realized capital gains to the extent they are distributed or deemed to have been distributed to their shareholders. Therefore, the Funds have not made any provision for federal income tax.
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. As a result, net investment income and net realized capital gains on investment transactions for a reporting period may differ significantly from distributions during such period.

Capital accounts within the financial statements are periodically adjusted for permanent differences between book and tax accounting. These adjustments have no impact on net assets or the results of operations. Temporary book and tax accounting differences will reverse in subsequent periods. At September 30, 2022, temporary book and tax accounting differences were primarily attributable to the deferral of wash sale losses, deferred Trustee compensation, and other temporary basis adjustments.

The Funds did not have any unrecognized tax benefits at September 30, 2022, nor were there any increases or decreases in unrecognized tax benefits for the year then ended. The Funds recognize interest and penalties, if any, related to unrecognized tax benefits as an income tax expense in the Statements of Operations. During the year ended September 30, 2022, the Funds did not incur any such interest or penalties. The Funds are subject to examination by U.S. federal and state tax authorities for returns filed for the prior three fiscal years. Foreign taxes are provided for based on the Funds’ understanding of the tax rules and rates that exist in the foreign markets in which they invest.

Under the Funds’ organizational documents, current and former Trustees and Officers are provided with specified rights to indemnification against liabilities arising in connection with the performance of their duties to the Funds, and shareholders are indemnified against personal liability for obligations of the Funds. In the normal course of business, the Funds may also enter into contracts that provide general indemnifications. The Funds’ maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would be dependent on future claims that may be made against the Funds. The risk of material loss from such claims is considered remote.
8. | New Accounting Pronouncements |
In January 2021, FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2021-01 — Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848) — Scope (“ASU 2021-01”) as an update to Accounting Standards Update 2020-04 — Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848) — Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting (“ASU 2020-04”) in order to make certain clarifications. ASU 2020-04 and ASU 2021-01 provide optional temporary financial reporting relief from the effect of certain types of contract modifications due to the planned discontinuation of the London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) and other interbank-offered based reference rates. The temporary relief provided by ASU 2020-04 and ASU 2021-01 is effective for certain reference rate-related contract modifications that occur during the period March 12, 2020 through December 31, 2022. Management does not believe the impact of adopting ASU 2020-04 and ASU 2021-01 will have a material impact on the financial statements.
In June 2022, FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2022-03 — Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820) — Fair Value Measurement of Equity Securities Subject to Contractual Sale Restrictions (“ASU 2022-03”). ASU 2022-03 clarifies the guidance in Topic 820 to indicate that a contractual sale restriction should not be considered in the fair value of an equity security subject to such a restriction, and requires entities with investments in equity securities subject to contractual sale restrictions to disclose certain qualitative and quantitative information about such securities. ASU 2022-03 is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2023, and allows for early adoption. ASU 2022-03 will only be applicable to an equity security in which the contractual arrangement that restricts its sale is executed or modified on or after the adoption date. Management is currently evaluating the impact of applying this update.
9. | Coronavirus (COVID-19) Pandemic |
The global pandemic outbreak of the novel coronavirus known as COVID-19 and efforts to contain its spread have produced, and will likely continue to produce, substantial market volatility, severe market dislocations and liquidity constraints in many markets, exchange trading suspensions and closures, higher default rates, and global business disruption, and they may result in future significant adverse effects, such as declines in global financial markets and a substantial economic downturn or recession throughout the world. Such factors may have a significant adverse effect on a Fund’s performance and have the potential to impair the ability of a Fund’s investment adviser, subadviser, or other service providers to serve the Fund and could lead to disruptions that negatively impact the Fund.
In February 2022, Russia commenced a large-scale military attack on Ukraine. The outbreak of hostilities between the two countries could result in more widespread conflict and could have a severe adverse effect on the regional and the global financial markets and economies. One or more of the Funds hold positions in securities or other instruments that are economically tied to Russia. Investments in Russia are subject to political, economic, legal, market, and currency risks, as well as the risks related to the economic sanctions on Russia, Russian individuals, and Russian corporate and banking entities imposed by the United States and/or other countries. Such sanctions — which affect companies in many sectors, including energy, financial services, and defense, among others — could adversely affect the global energy and financial markets and, thus, could affect the value of a Fund’s investments, even beyond any direct exposure the Fund may have to Russian issuers or the adjoining geographic regions. Such sanctions may also result in a decline in the value and liquidity of Russian securities and a weakening of the ruble, and will impair a Fund’s ability to buy, sell, receive, or deliver Russian securities. In addition, certain transactions have

been or may be prohibited and/or existing investments have or may become illiquid (e.g., because transacting in certain existing investments is prohibited), which could cause a Fund to sell other portfolio holdings at a disadvantageous time or price in order to meet shareholder redemptions.
In preparation of these financial statements, management has evaluated the events and transactions subsequent to September 30, 2022, through the date when the financial statements were issued, and determined that there are no subsequent events or transactions that would require adjustments to or disclosures in the Funds’ financial statements other than those disclosed below.
Effective November 1, 2022, T. Rowe Price Hong Kong Limited was added as a sub-subadviser of the MM Select T. Rowe Price Bond Asset Fund and the MM Select T. Rowe Price Limited Duration Inflation Focused Bond Fund.
Effective November 1, 2022, T. Rowe Price International Ltd was added as a sub-subadviser of the MM Select T. Rowe Price Limited Duration Inflation Focused Bond Fund.

Opinion on the Financial Statements and Financial Highlights
We have audited the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities of the Funds, including the portfolios of investments, as of September 30, 2022, 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, the financial highlights for the periods indicated in the table below, and the related notes. In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of each of the Funds as of September 30, 2022, 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 the financial highlights for the periods listed in the table below, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Rowe Price Limited Duration Inflation Focused Bond Fund, MassMutual Select T. Rowe Price Real Assets Fund, MassMutual Select T. Rowe Price Small and Mid Cap Blend Fund, and MassMutual Select T. Rowe Price U.S. Treasury Long-Term Index Fund | For each of the four years in the period ended September 30, 2022, and for the period February 9, 2018 (commencement of operations) through September 30, 2018 |
Basis for Opinion
These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Funds’ management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Funds’ financial statements and financial highlights based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Funds in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. 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, whether due to error or fraud. The Funds are not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of their internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Funds’ internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.
Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements and financial highlights, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements and financial highlights.
162
Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm (Continued) |
Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements and financial highlights. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of September 30, 2022, by correspondence with the custodian, brokers and agent banks; when replies were not received from brokers and agent banks, we performed other auditing procedures. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Trustees’ Approval of Investment Advisory Contracts
At their meetings in May and June 2022, the Contract Committee (the “Committee”) and the Trustees, including the Trustees who are not “interested persons” (as such term is defined in the 1940 Act) of the Trust, MML Advisers, or the subadvisers (the “Independent Trustees”), re-approved the existing advisory and subadvisory agreements (collectively, the “Contracts”) for each of the Equity Asset Fund, MM Select T. Rowe Price Bond Asset Fund, MM Select T. Rowe Price Emerging Markets Bond Fund, MM Select T. Rowe Price Large Cap Blend Fund, MM Select T. Rowe Price Limited Duration Inflation Focused Bond Fund, MM Select T. Rowe Price Real Assets Fund, MM Select T. Rowe Price Small and Mid Cap Blend Fund, and MM Select T. Rowe Price U.S. Treasury Long-Term Index Fund. In preparation for the meetings, the Trustees requested, and MML Advisers and the subadvisers provided in advance, certain materials relevant to the consideration of the Contracts (the “Meeting Materials”). In all of their deliberations, the Trustees were advised by independent counsel.
The Committee received in advance of the meetings (i) a memorandum from MML Advisers discussing the nature and quality of the services it provides as investment adviser to the Funds; (ii) a profitability analysis prepared by MML Advisers; and (iii) a fee and performance study report (the “Third-Party Report”) with respect to each Fund prepared by an independent third-party vendor (the “Third-Party”). The Third-Party Report provided detailed comparative advisory fee, total expense, and performance information for each Fund to assist the Committee in its evaluation of the Contracts. The Committee also considered information presented to it throughout the year regarding MML Advisers and each of the subadvisers.
The Committee considered the nature, scope, and quality of services MML Advisers provides to the Funds, including: (i) the financial condition, stability, and business strategy of MML Advisers; (ii) the capabilities of MML Advisers with respect to regulatory compliance and its ability to monitor compliance with the investment policies of the Funds; (iii) MML Advisers’ ability to provide investment oversight and provide for administrative and shareholder services to the Funds; and (iv) the experience and qualifications of the personnel of MML Advisers that perform, or oversee the performance of, the services provided to the Funds, and the needs of the Funds for administrative and shareholder services. The Committee noted that it had received in the Meeting Materials or during the course of the past year: (i) detailed information regarding MML Advisers’ ability to provide investment oversight and provide for administrative and shareholder services to the Funds; and (ii) a wide range of information about the subadvisers and their personnel with responsibility for providing services to the Funds and the fees payable to each subadviser by MML Advisers. MML Advisers reviewed with the Committee in detail the work MML Advisers does in its oversight roles, the expertise it brings to these roles, the size of its teams, and the financial commitment it has made to provide those services.
The Committee then reviewed and considered, for each Fund separately, the detailed information presented in the Third-Party Report regarding: (i) Fund expenses, including, among other things, both the Fund’s net advisory fee and total net expense ratio against peer funds; and (ii) the Fund’s relative performance (over various time periods against funds in its “category” and a benchmark index). In connection with the Committee’s review, MML Advisers provided commentary and analysis regarding
170
Other Information (Unaudited) (Continued) |
each Fund’s expenses and performance and a recommendation as to the action to be taken by the Committee. Throughout the discussion, MML Advisers responded to Committee members’ questions and provided additional information concerning each Fund.
The Committee reviewed the expense and performance information for each Fund. (References to any one- or three-year period below are to periods ended December 31, 2021. In all cases, the comparative expense information is that of a Fund’s “peer group” and the comparative performance information is that of a Fund’s “performance category.”)
The Committee considered that the total net expense ratios for all of the Funds were in the 1st comparative percentile of their peer groups, and that each Fund had net advisory fees in the first comparative percentile of their peer groups, except for the Equity Asset Fund which had a net advisory fee in the top comparative decile of its peer group. The Committee determined on the basis of these factors that the levels of the Funds’ net advisory fees, and the total net expenses of the Funds generally, were consistent with the continuation of their advisory agreements.
The Committee considered that the Equity Asset Fund had achieved three-year investment performance in the 9th comparative percentile of its performance category.
As to the MM Select T. Rowe Price Bond Asset Fund, MM Select T. Rowe Price Emerging Markets Bond Fund, MM Select T. Rowe Price Large Cap Blend Fund, and MM Select T. Rowe Price Real Assets Fund, the Committee considered that each of the Funds had achieved three-year investment performance at or above the medians of their performance categories, or within the top sixty percent of their performance categories.
As to the MM Select T. Rowe Price Limited Duration Inflation Focused Bond Fund, MM Select T. Rowe Price Small and Mid Cap Blend Fund, and MM Select T. Rowe Price U.S. Treasury Long-Term Index Fund, the Committee considered that although each Fund experienced three-year investment performance outside the top sixty percent of its performance category, each Fund also experienced improved performance for the one-year period to the 31st, 26th, and 50th comparative percentiles of its performance category, respectively. The Committee also considered MML Advisers’ statement that the three-year underperformance of each of the MM Select T. Rowe Price Limited Duration Inflation Focused Bond Fund and MM Select T. Rowe Price U.S. Treasury Long-Term Index Fund was due in substantial part to differences in duration positioning relative to its respective performance category.
The Committee also reviewed and considered information included in the Meeting Materials, or discussed at the meeting and during the course of the year, concerning economies of scale and the profitability of MML Advisers’ advisory relationship with the various Funds, including: (i) a description of MML Advisers’ revenues from the Funds (including advisory fees and administrative and shareholder services fees, as applicable) and the expense allocation methodology employed by MML Advisers; and (ii) profitability information for each individual Fund. The discussions included consideration of the intangible benefits derived by MML Advisers and its affiliates resulting from their relationships with the Funds and any so-called “fallout benefits” to MML Advisers (which were not considered to be substantial in any event), such as any reputational value derived from serving as investment adviser to the Funds, and benefits accruing to subadvisers due to so-called “soft-dollar arrangements.”
Prior to the votes being taken to approve the Contracts, the Committee met separately in executive session to discuss the appropriateness of such contracts. The Committee weighed the foregoing matters in light of the advice given to them by their independent legal counsel as to the law applicable to the review of investment advisory contracts. In arriving at a decision, the Committee did not identify any single matter as all-important or controlling. The foregoing summary does not detail all of the matters considered.
As to each of the Funds, the Committee concluded that: (i) overall, it was satisfied with the nature, extent, and quality of services provided, and expected to be provided in the future, under the Contracts, including the level of MML Advisers’ oversight of each Fund and the subadvisory process; (ii) MML Advisers’ levels of profitability from its relationship with the various Funds are not excessive and the advisory fees payable under the advisory agreements and each Fund’s total net expenses are fair and reasonable; (iii) the investment processes, research capabilities, and philosophies of the subadvisers generally appear well suited to the Funds, given their investment objectives and policies; (iv) either the relative or absolute performance of a Fund (in
171
Other Information (Unaudited) (Continued) |
each case, taking into account the applicable investment strategy and risk profile of the Fund), or the steps MML Advisers has proposed in respect of the underperformance of a Fund, are sufficient to warrant continuation of the Contracts for each of the Funds; and (v) the terms of the Contracts are fair and reasonable with respect to each Fund and are in the best interests of each Fund’s shareholders.
At their meeting in September 2022, the Trustees, including the Independent Trustees, reviewed and approved a proposal to make a change to the existing subadvisory agreement with T. Rowe Price Associates, Inc. (“T. Rowe Price”) for the MM Select Limited Duration Inflation Focused Bond Fund (the “Fund” and the “Amended Subadvisory Agreement”) intended to permit T. Rowe Price to delegate to its advisory affiliates. The Trustees considered, among other things, that any such delegation by T. Rowe Price would be subject to the consent of MML Advisers and the Board. At the same time, the Trustees, including the Independent Trustees, approved (i) a subadvisory agreement between T. Rowe Price and T. Rowe Price Hong Kong Limited (the “New Hong Kong Sub-Subadvisory Agreement”) for the Fund and the MM Select T. Rowe Price Bond Asset Fund and (ii) a subadvisory agreement between T. Rowe Price and T. Rowe Price International Ltd (the “New International Sub-Subadvisory Agreement”) for the Fund. The Trustees considered, among other things, that the New Hong Kong Sub-Subadvisory Agreement and New International Sub-Subadvisory Agreement would each not result in any changes in the fees payable by the respective Funds or MML Advisers and that the services provided would continue to be subject to the supervision of T. Rowe Price. The Trustees concluded that the Amended Subadvisory Agreement, New Hong Kong Sub-Subadvisory Agreement, and New International Sub-Subadvisory Agreement are in the best interests of each Fund and its respective shareholders. In their deliberations, the Trustees were advised by independent counsel.
Prior to the votes being taken to approve the Amended Subadvisory Agreement, New Hong Kong Sub-Subadvisory Agreement, and New International Sub-Subadvisory Agreement discussed above, the Independent Trustees met separately in executive session to discuss the appropriateness of such contracts. The Independent Trustees weighed the foregoing matters in light of the advice given to them by their independent legal counsel as to the law applicable to the review of investment advisory contracts. In arriving at a decision, the Trustees, including the Independent Trustees, did not identify any single matter as all-important or controlling. The foregoing summary does not detail all of the matters considered.
The Amended Subadvisory Agreement, New Hong Kong Sub-Subadvisory Agreement, and New International Sub-Subadvisory Agreement each became effective on November 1, 2022.

Fund Expenses September 30, 2022
Expense Examples:
The following information is in regards to expenses for the six months ended September 30, 2022:
As a shareholder of the Funds, you incur ongoing costs, including advisory 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 months ended September 30, 2022.
Actual Expenses:
The first four columns of the table below provide information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use this information, 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 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 last two columns of the table below provide 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 table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs. Therefore, the last two columns of the table are useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.
