“The Fed aggressively attempted to stimulate the economy as continued economic uncertainty and low Corporate Profits contributed to volatile financial markets in the first half of 2001.”
August 1, 2001
 
Continued Slowdown Triggers Aggressive Fed Easing
 
The first half of 2001 brought a continuation of the slowing trends evident in the economy and corporate earnings at the end of the previous year. In one important respect, though, the new year brought with it the winds of change. During the entire second half of 2000, the Federal Reserve Board had watched from the sidelines while growth stocks plunged and the economy staggered to a growth rate of just 1.1% in the fourth quarter. In 2001, the Fed dropped short-term interest rates by half of a percentage point on January 3 and another half-point on January 31. Four more rate reductions followed, leaving the target federal funds rate at 3.75% and the discount rate at 3.25% at the end of June. Two of the interventions—on January 3 and April 18—were surprise moves that occurred between regularly scheduled meetings of the Fed’s Open Market Committee, the body that controls short-term interest rates. For the Greenspan Fed, which for most of its tenure has been known for gradualism in monetary policy, the degree and timing of the cuts were remarkable.
 
In January, the Fed’s proactive stance on interest rates triggered a rally in growth stocks. However, the advance was tentative and led by the stocks of companies with the shakiest balance sheets, which had the most to gain from a more favorable credit environment. February and March brought sharp and broadly based declines in the popular stock indexes, as economic statistics continued to look bleak and companies preannounced first quarter earnings shortfalls. Industrial production continued its free fall, registering declines in all three months of the first quarter. Falling production of semiconductors, computers, and electronic components accounted for much of the weakness, as manufacturers attempted to keep inventories in line with receding demand. By the time of the Fed’s half-point rate cut on March 20, investors were so demoralized that the primary response was disappointment that the central bank had decided not to trim rates by a larger three-quarters of a percent.
 
Value stocks outperformed growth shares by a considerable margin during the first quarter, while small-caps beat stocks with larger capitalizations. For example, while the growth-oriented NASDAQ Composite Index and the S&P 500 Index were losing 25.5% and 12.1%, respectively, the Russell 2000 Value Index managed to post a gain of 1.0%.
 
Growth stocks finally found their footing in April, spurred by bargain-hunting and the Fed’s surprise rate cut on April 18. Growth took over the lead from value, as optimism began to build for a possible recovery later in the year. Despite the temporary euphoria, though, depressed corporate earnings and lagging economic statistics weighed on the market as the second quarter progressed. Retail sales, an important gauge of the consumer’s ability and willingness to spend, registered a weak 0.1% increase in May after climbing a robust 1.4% in April. Consumer spending accounts for approximately two-thirds of total economic activity and is considered vital to the Fed’s efforts to avoid a recession.
 
Offsetting the negative news to some extent was strong performance in the housing and auto sectors, stabilizing consumer confidence figures, and a jump of 0.5% in the May Index of Leading Economic Indicators, an important barometer of where the economy is headed over the next three to six months. Moreover, the Fed continued to lower interest rates, making its final move of the period—a quarter-point reduction—on June 27. After five half-point moves, June’s smaller decrease was widely interpreted as a signal that the Fed could be nearing the end of its current easing cycle. During the final six weeks of the period, there was listless trading with no sustained trends up or down. Growth stocks held on to most of their gains from April, while value shares made some headway during May and June.
 
(Continued)
 
 
 
For the entire six-month period, value was the clear winner over growth. The Russell 1000 Value Index, measuring the activity of large-cap value stocks, dipped 1.26%, while the Russell 1000 Growth Index tumbled 14.25%. Small-caps once again were the place to be, as evidenced by the Russell 2000 Value Index’s 12.84% gain during the period. Meanwhile, the Russell 2000 Growth Index was virtually alone among growth-oriented benchmarks in posting a small gain of 0.14% during the period. The venerable Dow Jones Industrial Average fell 1.9%, while the S&P 500 Index gave up 6.7%. The NASDAQ Composite, despite its strong second-quarter performance, still declined 12.4% for the first half.
 
Bonds Turn In Positive Performance
 
After a stellar performance in the fourth quarter of 2000, the bond market’s momentum slowed in the new year. Nevertheless, bonds turned in a reasonably good performance that was reflected in the 3.63% gain of the Lehman Brothers Aggregate Bond Index during the first half. Most of the gains came in the first quarter, when the yield curve steepened considerably because of the Fed’s easing. For example, the 2-year Treasury note’s yield declined by 92 basis points in the first quarter, while the 30-year bond was essentially flat at 5.44%. Longer-term yields held steady because of investors’ expectation that sharply falling short-term interest rates would trigger a recovery and possibly higher inflation. Spreads on corporate securities narrowed, and high-yield products had a particularly good three-month performance.
 
In the second quarter, the yield curve continued to steepen due to downward pressure at the short end. However, this time yields at the long end trended higher, providing a headwind for returns on longer-dated fixed-income securities. Investment-grade corporate spreads continued to narrow, although high-yield securities gave back some of their gains from the first quarter because of increasing concerns about defaults and other credit events. In the final week of the first half, the yield curve flattened a bit when the Fed lowered short-term rates by a quarter-point instead of the half-point investors wanted.
 
Two Opposing Forces
 
For the remainder of the year, the markets will likely be subject to a tug of war between the positive effects of lower interest rates and the negative impact of earnings disappointments, corporate layoffs, and other signs of a slower economy. The Fed’s uncharacteristically aggressive approach to monetary policy during the period indicates a desire to turn the economy around without delay, before consumers become discouraged and rein in their spending even more than they have already. On the positive side, cuts in interest rates of the frequency and magnitude we have just witnessed have historically had extremely beneficial effects on both the economy and stock prices over the following 12 to 18 months. Massive overspending in some industries, such as telecommunications equipment, may keep a lid on profits for a while, and it is doubtful that we will soon see a return to the speculative markets of late 1999 and early 2000. However, there should be ample opportunity for investors who maintain a diversified approach to both the equity and fixed-income markets.

MML Large Cap Value Fund – Portfolio Manager Report
 
 
What are the investment objectives and policies for the MML Large Cap Value Fund?
    
The objectives and policies of the Fund are to:
Ÿ 
achieve long-term capital growth and income
Ÿ 
invest primarily in a diversified portfolio of equity securities of larger, well-established companies (generally companies with market capitalization over $5.0 billion)
Ÿ 
utilize a value-oriented strategy in making investment decisions
Ÿ 
utilize fundamental analysis to identify companies which
–are of high investment quality or possess a unique product, market position or operating characteristics
–offer above-average levels of profitability or superior growth potential
–are attractively valued in the marketplace
 
How did the Fund perform during the first half of 2000?
    
For the six months ending June 30, 2001, the Fund’s shares returned - 6.90%, slightly trailing the - 6.68% return of the S&P 500 Index, a market capitalization-weighted, unmanaged index of 500 common stocks.
 
What factors contributed to the Fund’s performance?
    
The first quarter of the year was extremely difficult, as a weak rally in January gave way to plunging markets in February and March. The S&P 500 Index declined 11.86% for the quarter, while the Fund performed slightly better, falling 10.50%. Although large-cap value stocks fared better than the large-cap growth sector, both had negative returns. Driving the weakness in share prices was a slowing economy that broadened to include virtually all industries instead of being confined to technology and telecommunications. The Fund’s two largest holdings, Tyco International and American Express, suffered declines of 22.09% and 24.82%, respectively. Other holdings that struggled included Merck - 18.93% and American Home Products - 7.21%, both of which helped our returns last year.
 
To counteract the slowdown, the Federal Reserve Board began cutting short-term interest rates. The Fed reduced rates twice in January, and once in March, April, May, and June. Like the January 3 rate cut, the April 18 intervention was unscheduled, and this aggressive stance on interest rates, together with bargain-hunting following the waterfall declines in February and March, produced a strong rally to start the second quarter. As the quarter progressed, however, the rally lost momentum. Although the Fed continued to reduce interest rates, earnings disappointments proliferated, as did worrisome economic statistics, especially in the manufacturing sector.
 
The Fund lost ground on the S&P 500 Index in the second quarter, gaining 3.03% to the Index’s 5.86% return. Our positions in capital goods and financial services provided the best relative performance, while technology and healthcare detracted the most in relative terms. Although our technology holdings included some positions that, in retrospect, were miscalculations on our part, we continue to have a high degree of confidence in the Fund’s healthcare holdings.
 
The strongest performers for the second quarter included core holding Tyco International, which bounced back nicely after the rocky first quarter. Other positive holdings were Citigroup, a premier diversified financial services firm, and printer manufacturer Lexmark International. Weak holdings included Telllabs, Hewlett-Packard, American Express, and pharmaceutical stocks Bristol-Myers Squibb and Merck. The latter had an extremely difficult first half due in part to disappointing sales of its arthritis drug Vioxx. We view these problems as short-term in nature and continue to like Merck’s long-term prospects.
 
What is your outlook?
    
At the moment we are seeing a tug of war between the positive influence of lower interest rates and the negative impact of decelerating earnings growth and a slowing economy. So far, economic growth has not crossed the line to a recession, defined as two consecutive quarters of negative GDP (gross domestic product) growth. Whether we cross that line in the months to come will depend in large part on the Fed, which seems determined to revive the economy. On top of the six rate reductions already in place, the Fed could cut once or twice more in the second half of the year if necessary. The tax rebates recently passed by Congress provide another reason for optimism.
 
 
MML Large Cap Value Fund – Portfolio Manager Report (Continued)
 
 
The Fund’s management team will attempt to do its part by maintaining our long-term perspective and not forsaking our value discipline to chase short-term trends. One of the ways we feel we can add value is by having the conviction to invest in the stocks of high-quality, globally competitive companies during periods of negative market sentiment. On these occasions we can often buy such stocks at low valuations because their true worth is temporarily underestimated by most investors.

Past performance is not predictive of future results. The investment return and principal value of shares of the Fund will fluctuate with market conditions so that shares of the Fund, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Investors should note that the Fund is a professionally managed mutual fund, while the S&P 500 Index is unmanaged and does not incur expenses, and cannot be purchased directly by investors. The Fund’s return reflects changes in the net asset value per share without the deduction of any product charges. Total return figures would be lower for the periods presented if they reflected these charges.

MML Equity Index Fund – Portfolio Manager Report
 
What are the investment objectives and policies for the MML Equity Index Fund?
    
The objectives and policies of the Fund are to:
Ÿ
achieve long-term growth of capital through performance that closely tracks that of the S&P 500 Index
Ÿ
invest in a portfolio of equity securities mirroring the sector and stock weightings of the S&P 500 Index
 
How did the Fund perform during the first half of 2001?
    
For the six months ending June 30, 2001, the Fund’s Class I shares returned -6.95%, about in line with the -6.68% return of the S&P 500 Index, a market capitalization-weighted, unmanaged index of 500 common stocks.
 
What factors influenced performance during the period?
    
The economic downturn that began in 2000 continued in the first half of 2001. The year began on a positive note, as the Federal Reserve Board unexpectedly reduced short-term interest rates on January 3. Investors, heartened at the rate cut and the prospect of more to come, jumped back into growth stocks and propelled the S&P 500 Index higher throughout the rest of January. However, the advance was tentative and led by the stocks of companies with the shakiest balance sheets, which had the most to gain from lowered borrowing costs.
 
February and March saw the market take back what it had gained in January and more, as a spate of earnings disappointments sent share prices sharply lower. By this time, what had started in the fall of 2000 as a sharp inventory correction in technology and telecommunications companies broadened out to include virtually all industries. This broadening was reflected in the performance of the S&P 500 Index’s components, as the Index registered 328 declining issues and only 171 advancing issues during the first three months of the year. For the first quarter, the Index lost 11.86%, with value stocks holding up much better than growth stocks but still posting a negative return.
 
Looking inside the Index, the best performance was found in the transportation and consumer cyclicals sectors, which gained less than 1% each. Technology led the declining sectors with a 24.72% loss, followed by health care and capital goods, which lost 15.15% and 13.68%, respectively. The best-performing stocks were Advanced Micro Devices, Dillards, and Kmart, with gains of 92.1%, 85.7%, and 76.9%, respectively. Losers included Applied Micro Circuits -78.0%, Network Appliance -73.8%, and QLogic -70.8%. There were six changes in the S&P 500 during the first quarter, well off the pace in 2000, when there were 58 changes during the year.
 
What about the second quarter?
    
The Index rebounded in the second quarter, helped by bargain-hunting and continued easing by the Fed. A surprise rate cut on April 18 was particularly beneficial, and two more reductions followed in May and June. Overall, the Fed trimmed short-term rates a total of 275 basis points during the first half of the year. Lower interest rates contributed to the perception that the economy might recover late this year or early in 2002. In anticipation of this eventuality, stocks firmed.
 
The Index registered a 5.85% gain during the quarter. Mid-cap and small-cap stocks did particularly well, with both groups rising over 13%. Large-cap growth stocks outperformed large-cap value shares for the first time since the second quarter of 2000. Sector performance was much more balanced than in the first quarter. The best-performing sectors were capital goods and technology, up 12.05% and 11.89%, respectively. The worst performer was utilities, which fell 8.81%. Utilities were dragged down by the poor performance of many power companies, which declined in response to easing energy prices and the news of President Bush’s decision to impose price controls on electricity in California.
 
What is your outlook?
    
For the remainder of the year, investors will no doubt be looking for signs that the Fed’s stimulative monetary policy is having the desired effect of reviving the economy. As of mid-year, economic growth still looked weak, but movements in interest rates normally take some time to percolate through the economy. The tax rebates coming into consumers’ hands in the third quarter should be an additional positive influence on consumer spending, which accounts for approximately two-thirds of economy activity in the U.S. Finally, we could see one or two more reductions in interest rates from the Fed if the economy remains weak. While we do not anticipate a return to the speculative markets of the late 1990s any time soon, even a return to moderate economic growth in the 2% to 3% range should enable many of the stocks in the benchmark to improve on their recent performance.

GROWTH OF A $10,000 INVESTMENT SINCE INCEPTION

 
 
 
Past performance is not predictive of future results. The investment return and principal value of shares of the Fund will fluctuate with market conditions so that shares of the Fund, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Investors should note that the Fund is a professionally managed mutual fund, while the S&P 500 Index is unmanaged and does not incur expenses, and cannot be purchased directly by investors. The Fund’s return reflects changes in the net asset value per share without the deduction of any product charges. Total return figures would be lower for the periods presented if they reflected these charges.

MML Enhanced Index Core Equity Fund – Portfolio Manager Report
 
What are the investment objectives and policies for the MML Enhanced Index Core Equity Fund?
    
The objectives and policies of the Fund are to:
Ÿ 
achieve total returns that slightly exceed those of the S&P 500 Index over the long term while maintaining a risk profile similar to that of the Index
Ÿ 
invest in a diversified portfolio consisting of approximately 90% of the securities in the S&P 500 Index
Ÿ 
employ quantitative analysis utilizing core (blended growth and value) parameters in making investment decisions
Ÿ 
utilize a proprietary quantitative model that ranks all companies in the S&P 500 Index in terms of various fundamental and technical factors to find stocks that
–are of high investment quality
–offer above-average levels of profitability or superior growth
–are attractively valued in the marketplace
 
How did the Fund perform during the first half of 2001?
    
The Fund commenced operations on May 1, 2001. For the two months ending June 30, 2001, the Fund’s shares returned -2.70%, compared with the -1.77% return of the S&P 500 Index, a market capitalization-weighted, unmanaged index of 500 common stocks. However, measured from the date the Fund was fully invested on May 2, 2001, the Fund’s return was -2.41%, which was ahead of the benchmark’s -3.10% return.
 
Can you explain the Fund’s management strategy?
    
The Fund uses an enhanced indexing strategy, with the S&P 500 Index as its benchmark. Enhanced indexing means that the portfolio’s management team has the goal of beating the S&P 500 Index by a small margin—typically 100 to 150 basis points on an annual basis—in an extremely risk-controlled fashion.
 
Management employs a strictly quantitative rating system that takes into account a wide variety of growth and value factors, including price-to-earnings and price-to-cash flow ratios, stock price momentum, earnings growth rates, earnings momentum, earnings reliability, earnings yield, quality of earnings, and much more. Overall, the Fund’s portfolio will usually have characteristics that compare favorably with the S&P 500 Index in some key respects—slightly lower price-to-earnings and price-to-cash flow ratios, higher earnings growth rates, and so on. Risk is tightly controlled both by strict adherence to the quantitative discipline and by diversification through the large number of holdings in the portfolio, which will be in the 420-450 range under normal circumstances. Typically, approximately 300 of those holdings will have weightings at or near those of the S&P 500 Index, while the rest will be overweighted or underweighted as directed by our model.
 
In what kind of environment does the model tend to perform best?
    
The model adjusts to prevailing market trends by assigning certain weightings to its growth and value parameters. It makes these adjustments gradually. The best environment for the model is therefore one in which the market’s relative emphasis on growth and value continues in sustained trends. The first half of 2001 saw investors jump back and forth between growth and value investments rather abruptly. This phenomenon was due mainly to the Federal Reserve Board’s surprise reductions of interest rates—the ones that occurred between scheduled meetings of the Fed’s Open Market Committee. We had two of these during the first half—on January 3 and April 18—and both of them disrupted the existing trend, which favored value stocks. In May and June, neither value nor growth had a clear advantage, but the market experienced no unexpected disruptions from the Fed, and the model performed relatively well during those months.
 
What were some examples of the model’s stock selection?
    
Based on factors such as quality of earnings, loss of earnings momentum, and others, the model minimized the Fund’s exposure to mega-cap technology stocks, which was a good decision. For example, we underweighted Cisco Systems, and we did not own Nortel Networks or Lucent Technologies, all of which performed poorly during the period. On the positive side, the model was attracted to companies positioned to benefit from the Fed’s easing, such as savings and loans and cyclical issues. Washington Mutual, Deluxe Corp, General Motors, and Microsoft were stocks in which we had overweighted positions.
 
What is your outlook?
    
There are two major influences on the market at present. On the negative side, we have corporate earnings that are still deteriorating and economic statistics that do not suggest an imminent recovery. The positive case rests with the Fed, which has mounted an almost unprecedented effort to jump-start the economy by slashing interest rates and thereby lowering borrowing costs for businesses and consumers. So far, the Fed has little to show for its campaign, but we must remember that cuts in interest rates, like the tightening moves in 1999 and 2000, take time to percolate through the economy. In any event, we do not run the Fund based on top-down predictions about the economy or interest rates. Letting the model respond to events as they occur has proven to be the best way to proceed.

GROWTH OF A $10,000 INVESTMENT SINCE INCEPTION
 
 
Past performance is not predictive of future results. The investment return and principal value of shares of the Fund will fluctuate with market conditions so that shares of the Fund, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Investors should note that the Fund is a professionally managed mutual fund, while the S&P 500 Index is unmanaged and does not incur expenses, and cannot be purchased directly by investors. The Fund’s return reflects changes in the net asset value per share without the deduction of any product charges. Total return figures would be lower for the periods presented if they reflected these charges.

MML Growth Equity Fund – Portfolio Manager Report
 
 
 
 
What are the investment objectives and policies for the MML Growth Equity Fund?
 
The objectives and policies of the Fund are to:
Ÿ
achieve long-term growth of capital and future income
Ÿ
invest primarily in a diversified portfolio of equity securities, which may consist of up to 35% foreign securities (including those of companies in emerging markets)
Ÿ
utilize a growth-oriented strategy in making investment decisions
Ÿ
utilize fundamental analysis to identify companies which
–are of high investment quality or possess a unique product, market position or operating characteristics
–offer above-average levels of profitability or superior growth potential
 
How did the Fund perform during the first half of 2001?
 
The Fund substantially underperformed its benchmark in a difficult environment for growth stocks. For the six months ending June 30, 2001, the Fund’s shares returned -16.95%, trailing the -6.68% return of the S&P 500 Index, a market capitalization-weighted, unmanaged index of 500 common stocks.
 
What factors influenced the Fund’s performance?
 
The trend of a slowing economy and deteriorating corporate earnings that began in the second half of 2000 continued into the new year. In January growth stocks were helped by two reductions in short-term interest rates by the Federal Reserve Board. The first, on January 3, was an unscheduled intervention. However, even aggressive easing by the Fed was not enough to offset the flood of negative earnings news, and in February and March the benchmark experienced waterfall declines, led by the growth sector. Meanwhile, investors looked to value stocks for earnings visibility and relative safety.
 
The portfolio quickly lost ground on the benchmark during the first quarter due to our “growthier” orientation. Although we continued to trim our technology holdings, the Fund was still overweighted versus the benchmark for most of the quarter, which hurt our returns because technology was the worst-performing sector for the quarter. On the other hand, the Fund’s comparatively greater exposure to retail stocks such as Lowe’s, Home Depot, and Costco Wholesale Club contributed positively to performance. Our retail holdings focused primarily on defensive businesses such as drug stores and grocery stores. We also liked home improvement companies, which benefited from the still-robust housing market.
 
What happened in the second quarter?
 
Growth stocks recovered some of their losses in the second quarter. The Fund outperformed the benchmark during this period, although not enough to make up for the first quarter’s underperformance. April was the strongest month, as bargain-hunters began buying after almost two solid months of retreating share prices. Additionally, stocks were aided by a second unscheduled cut in interest rates by the Fed on April 18. The Fed added two more rate cuts in May and June, for a total of six during the first half. In the process, the federal funds target rate declined from 6.50% to 3.75%, representing one of the most aggressive Fed easing campaigns in recent memory.
 
Once again, however, the initial euphoria associated with a surprise Fed easing gave way to the sober reality of disappointing corporate earnings, more layoffs, and an overall sluggish economy. The upward momentum of April faded, and the S&P 500 Index finished the second quarter slightly under its closing level on April 30.
 
The Fund was helped in the second quarter by strong stock selection in the technology sector. We began the quarter with slight underweighting in technology compared with the benchmark but gradually increased our exposure to approximately 20% by the end of June, representing a modestly overweighted position. We emphasized software stocks, especially those positioned to benefit from an eventual recovery in spending for corporate information technology. Examples of holdings that did well included Microsoft, storage management software stock Veritas, and Verisign, which is involved in Internet authentication and verification.
 
Another sector making a positive impact on performance was leisure, where the Fund benefited from both an overweighted position and strong stock selection. Included in this sector were a number of
radio and television broadcasting stocks that posted strong gains in anticipation of a recovering economy and the resulting boost in advertising revenues. Leisure holdings meriting mention included Viacom, AOL-Time Warner, and Clear Channel Communications.
 
 
MML Growth Equity Fund – Portfolio Manager Report (Continued)
 
What is your outlook?
 
 
We expect weak corporate earnings to persist in the second half of the year. Although lower interest rates and the tax rebate recently passed by Congress have set the stage for an eventual recovery of both the economy and stock prices, softness in overseas economies and a strong U.S. dollar could tend to mute the early stages of a U.S. economic recovery. Nevertheless, the stock market tends to look ahead, and stock prices will likely begin to advance before signs of a rebounding economy are clear. Therefore, we anticipate a more constructive investment environment for stocks as we head toward 2002.
 
However, we anticipate that over the near term it will be very much a stockpicker’s market, and the strategy of hopping on the latest “hot” sector will be less successful than in the past. We believe that our experience and the quality of our in-depth research could be especially helpful in avoiding overpriced stocks of companies with shaky business models and identifying the companies that are poised to gain market share and increase profits.

GROWTH OF A $10,000 INVESTMENT SINCE INCEPTION

 
Past performance is not predictive of future results. The investment return and principal value of shares of the Fund will fluctuate with market conditions so that shares of the Fund, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Investors should note that the Fund is a professionally managed mutual fund, while the S&P 500 Index is unmanaged and does not incur expenses, and cannot be purchased directly by investors. The Fund’s return reflects changes in the net asset value per share without the deduction of any product charges. Total return figures would be lower for the periods presented if they reflected these charges.

MML OTC 100 Fund – Portfolio Manager Report
 
    
What are the investment objectives and policies for the MML OTC 100 Fund?
The objectives and policies of the Fund are to: 
Ÿ 
achieve long-term growth of capital through performance that closely tracks that of the NASDAQ 100 Index
Ÿ 
invest at least 80% of its assets in a portfolio of equity securities mirroring the sector and stock weightings of the NASDAQ 100 Index
How did the Fund perform during the first half of 2001?
    
For the six months ending June 30, 2001, the Fund’s shares returned -22.08%, slightly trailing the
-21.73% return of the NASDAQ 100 Index.
 
What factors influenced performance during the period?
    
Technology stocks, which make up over two-thirds of the Index, continued to encounter a stiff headwind in the first half of 2001. The economic downturn that began in 2000 broadened and deepened in 2001, touching most industries. Earnings disappointments were widespread, and the data on overall economic activity deteriorated, especially in the manufacturing sector. Manufacturing was particularly hard-hit by excess inventories of semiconductors, computers, and telecommunications equipment. Meanwhile, the Federal Reserve Board, which had watched from the sidelines during the entire second half of 2000, was finally moved to action. The Fed unexpectedly lowered short-term interest rates on January 3 and cut rates on five other occasions in the first half of 2001. For a brief time, it seemed that falling interest rates might do the trick, as the benchmark tentatively clawed its way higher for most of January.
 
Unfortunately, the Fed’s interventions were not sufficient to counteract the flood of bad news, and the NASDAQ 100 Index experienced waterfall declines in February and March that carried it to the 1573 level, a decline of 32.81%. Measuring from its peak at 4704.73 on March 27, 2000, the NASDAQ 100 Index lost 66.55%—approximately two-thirds of its value. Only 19 of the Index’s components showed gains in the first quarter, and many of those were rebounding after dismal performance in 2000. Sector performance was almost uniformly negative except for the modest 1.61% gain in consumer staples. Technology declined 35.93%, and the Index, with its 71.1% technology weighting, was dragged down by many of the stocks that boosted performance in 1999.
 
The best-performing stocks during the quarter included Compuware 56.00%, Apple Computer 48.37%, and Dell Computer 47.31%. The list of detractors featured Ariba -85.26%, Applied Micro Circuits -78.01%, and Brocade Communications -77.25%.
 
What about the second quarter?
    
Buoyed by bargain-hunting and further rate-cutting by the Fed, the Index made a recovery in the second quarter. On April 18, the Fed again surprised investors with an unscheduled rate cut of 50 basis points. The benchmark responded with strong gains, as investors began to anticipate that lower interest rates might spark a recovery later in the year. As more bad news was released throughout the quarter, however, the rally’s momentum faded. May ended with a small loss, and in June the Index posted a negligible gain.
 
The benchmark rose 16.37% during the second quarter. Of the seven sectors in the Index, only communication services had a negative return, losing 13.10%. Technology, which gained 17.80%, was not the best-performing sector but nevertheless had the greatest impact on performance because of its dominant weighting in the Index and the Fund. With a gain of 35.61%, the capital goods sector took top honors for the best performance.
 
In a reversal of the previous quarter, 81 of the benchmark’s components showed gains, while 19 posted losses. The best performers for the second quarter were Qlogic 186.4%, RF Micro Devices 130.8%, and Brocade Communications 110.6%. The worst losers all were affected by the extremely negative climate for the telecommunications industry. This list included Exodus Communications -80.8%, XO Communications -72.6%, and Level 3 Communications -68.4%.
 
MML OTC 100 Fund – Portfolio Manager Report (Continued)
 

What is your outlook?

Many technology investors appear to be waiting for signs of a pickup in orders before committing their funds wholeheartedly, and so far that has not happened. However, there are many reasons for cautious optimism. While some investors have wondered why the Fed’s rate cuts are not “working,” we must remember that it generally takes 12 to 18 months for interest rate policy to affect the economy. Complicating matters somewhat is the fact that, as of this writing, it has been only 14 months since the Fed stopped a multi-month campaign to raise rates. As has been noted by many observers, something as big and complicated as the U.S. economy cannot turn on a dime. However, at some point in the not-too-distant future, the benefits of lower rates should become apparent.
 
Additionally, the tax rebate recently approved by Congress is scheduled to be distributed in the third quarter of 2001, which should aid consumer spending. Finally, it is useful to reflect on the fact better performance from the Index does not require a return to the robust rates of economic growth we enjoyed during the bull market. Even a modest GDP (gross domestic product) growth rate in the 2% to 3% range should provide enough demand for many companies in the Index to resume healthy earnings growth.

Past performance is not predictive of future results. The investment return and principal value of shares of the Fund will fluctuate with market conditions so that shares of the Fund, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Investors should note that the Fund is a professionally managed mutual fund, while the NASDAQ 100 Index is unmanaged and does not incur expenses, and cannot be purchased directly by investors. The Fund’s return reflects changes in the net asset value per share without the deduction of any product charges. Total return figures would be lower for the periods presented if they reflected these charges.

MML Small Cap Value Equity Fund – Portfolio Manager Report
 
 
 
What are the investment objectives and policies for the MML Small Cap Value Equity Fund?
 
The objectives and policies of the Fund are to:
Ÿ 
achieve long-term growth of capital and income
Ÿ 
invest primarily in a diversified portfolio of equity securities of smaller companies (companies with market capitalizations within the range of market capitalizations of companies in the Russell 2000 Index)
Ÿ 
utilize a value-oriented strategy in making investment decisions
Ÿ 
utilize fundamental analysis to identify companies which
–are of high investment quality or possess a unique product, market position or operating characteristics
–offer above-average levels of profitability or superior growth potential
–are attractively valued in the marketplace
 
How did the Fund perform during the first half of 2001?
    
For the six months ending June 30, 2001, the Fund’s shares returned 3.81%, trailing the 6.77% return of the Russell 2000 Index, a broadly based, unmanaged index of 2000 medium- and small-capitalization common stocks.
 
What factors contributed to the Fund’s performance?
    
Both the Fund and the Index benefited from the outperformance of the small-cap sector, a trend that continued from 2000. Large-cap stocks had become overpriced after outperforming small-caps for much of the 1990s. Furthermore, the economic slowdown and the resulting earnings deceleration of many growth companies prompted investors to emphasize value, which also helped the Fund. Unfortunately, the Fund’s emphasis on companies with stable earnings growth was a negative influence during the period. While that emphasis helped us to outperform our benchmark during 2000, the companies with the most solid earnings traded at relatively high valuations, a drawback during the first half of 2001. In addition, a few of our holdings were listed at erroneous prices due to a technological failure on the final day of the period, resulting in a slightly less favorable comparison with the Russell Index.
 
Can you give examples of stocks you bought or sold during the period?
    
One example was National Processing, a company that provides software and back-office support for processing financial transactions on and off the Internet. The company operates in a fragmented industry in which there is no dominant player and offers services that are very scalable, meaning they are easily adaptable to clients of various sizes. Moreover, the company has virtually no debt and has consistently generated a 15% to 20% return on equity for a number of years. Another stock we bought was Community Health Systems, which owns approximately 50 hospitals in 20 states. In roughly 80% of the communities in which the company operates, it has the only general hospital in the area. These facilities are well run and generate a healthy cash flow. In the retail sector, we bought Dollar Tree Stores, a discount variety chain. Typically, most items in these stores sell for about one dollar, making the business relatively resistant to economic slowdowns. Trading around twenty times earnings when we bought the stock, Dollar Tree has historically delivered a 25% return on equity.
 
On the sell side, we disposed of Commerce Bancorp, a good regional bank in the Northeast whose stock hit our target price. Also reaching what we considered to be full valuation were Markel, a property/casualty insurer, and Techne, a manufacturer of proteins, antibodies, assay kits, and other supplies for clinical laboratories. On the other hand, we liquidated our holdings in EGL because of deteriorating fundamentals in the company’s international freight forwarding business. Meanwhile, we sold National Oil Well, a manufacturer of drilling rig components and subsystems for the energy industry, due to slackening demand for drill rigs that we thought might be the beginning of a cyclical trend.
 
Which stocks most helped or detracted from performance?
    
BJ’s Wholesale, a “warehouse club” selling everything from discount jewelry to food and automotive supplies, made a positive contribution to performance. The company enjoys strong fundamentals, a long track record of success, and relatively steady earnings growth. BJ’s stock trended up throughout most of the period, stalled for a while, and finished strongly. Another positive contributor was Crossman Communities, a homebuilder whose operations are concentrated in a number of fast-growing areas of the country. While homebuilders in general had a good first half of 2001 because of lower
interest rates, Crossman also did well because of some innovative cost-containment techniques in its building processes. We should also mention Spartech, a manufacturer of plastic packaging and molded plastic products of various kinds. High prices for crude oil, a raw material of most plastic products, hurt the stock in the second half of 2000. However, energy prices began to ease in 2001, lowering costs for Spartech.
 
Detracting from performance was Micrel, a maker of analog semiconductors for the telecommunications industry. Although this stock was a short-term victim of the telecom meltdown, we believe in its long-term potential and maintained our position. Precision Drilling, a land driller operating in Canada and the U.S., declined due to the softening demand for drilling operations that we mentioned earlier. We reduced the Fund’s holdings but still had a small position at the end of the period. Inet Technologies makes software that manages voice and data communications over the telephone and the Internet. The stock plunged in the late winter because of sharply lower earnings estimates. Even in the face of lower earnings prospects, however, the company maintained its market share, and we still held this stock at the end of the period.
 
What is your outlook?
    
The first half of 2001 witnessed a tug of war between a slowing economy and decelerating earnings, on the one hand, and aggressive easing of monetary policy by the Federal Reserve Board. So far, the Fed’s actions have had minimal impact on the overall economy, although lower interest rates have helped to keep demand strong in the housing and auto industries. We must remember, however, that monetary policy takes time to work, and it was only in May of 2000 that the Fed stopped raising interest rates. Thus, it might be reasonable to look for some results of the Fed’s easing efforts toward the end of this year or the beginning of 2002. We will continue our search for the stocks of well-run companies with steady earnings growth and reasonable valuations. No matter what the economy is doing, there are always stocks that are priced inefficiently, and those are the ones we try to find.

GROWTH OF A $10,000 INVESTMENT SINCE INCEPTION
 
Past performance is not predictive of future results. The investment return and principal value of shares of the Fund will fluctuate with market conditions so that shares of the Fund, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Investors should note that the Fund is a professionally managed mutual fund, while the Russell 2000 Index is unmanaged and does not incur expenses, and cannot be purchased directly by investors. The Fund’s return reflects changes in the net asset value per share without the deduction of any product charges. Total return figures would be lower for the periods presented if they reflected these charges.

MML Small Company Opportunities Fund – Portfolio Manager Report
 
 
 

What are the investment objectives and policies for the MML Small Company Opportunities Fund?

    
The objectives and policies of the Fund are to:
Ÿ 
achieve long-term capital appreciation
Ÿ 
invest primarily in a diversified portfolio of equity securities of micro-capitalization companies (companies with market capitalizations at the time of purchase of no more than 50% of the weighted average market capitalization of the Russell 2000 Index)
Ÿ 
utilize a value-oriented strategy in making investment decisions
Ÿ 
utilize fundamental analysis to identify companies which
–are of high investment quality or possess a unique product, market position or operating characteristics
–offer above-average levels of profitability or superior growth potential
–are attractively valued in the marketplace
 
How did the Fund perform during the first half of 2001?
    
The Fund commenced operations on May 1, 2001. For the two months ending June 30, 2001, the Fund’s shares returned 5.80%, about in line with the 5.91% return of the Russell 2000 Index, a broadly based, unmanaged index of 2000 medium- and small-capitalization common stocks.
 
What factors contributed to the Fund’s performance?
    
The Fund benefited from a strong environment for small-cap stocks and value-oriented management styles. Our start date occurred in the middle of an economic slowdown, with share prices for most growth stocks down considerably from where they had been a year ago. Looking for alternatives, many investors turned to value stocks for their stable earnings growth. Likewise, large-cap stocks were favored throughout much of the recent bull market, and their share prices were bid up to unsustainable levels. Small-caps were relatively undervalued, and when the large-cap market leaders faltered, investors flocked to the previously underappreciated small-cap sector.
 
At the same time, our performance slightly trailed that of our benchmark. Still, the Fund performed relatively well given the fact that our reporting period covers the first two months of operation, when we were putting our money to work in the market.
 
What is your philosophy on stock selection?
    
Our management style incorporates both growth and value parameters, with a decided preference for the value side of the spectrum. We look for high-quality companies with relatively steady earnings growth that we believe to be underappreciated by the market. We love companies that are carving out profitable niches in unglamorous industries. This attitude is reflected in the allocations of our two largest sectors: industrials—30% and financial services—23%. However, we don’t actively target specific sector allocations. Rather, these allocations merely reflect where our bottom-up analysis has led us.
 
Examples of recent purchases might help to provide a feel for the eclectic nature of our selection process. One purchase was ProQuest, which resulted from the restructuring of the company formerly known as Bell & Howell. A provider of database content for libraries, ProQuest’s revenues are relatively insulated from the performance of the overall economy, and the company enjoys high profit margins on its products. Another recent acquisition is RPM, a manufacturer of specialty petrochemicals that are used in a variety of finished products such as Rustoleum paint. The company has weathered the economic slowdown well and was helped in June by easing prices for crude oil, an important raw material in RPM’s products. Finally, we’ll mention Rogers Corp., a maker of composite materials used primarily in the telecommunications industry. Among other products, the company manufactures gasketing materials used to seal out moisture from cellular phones and cell phone tower instrument panels. The stock was trading well below its 52-week high and at a discount to the price implied by its normalized earnings over a typical business cycle.
 
Which stocks most helped or detracted from performance?
    
Tweeter Home Entertainment, a home electronics retailer, was one of the Fund’s best performers during the period. Although the stock had been beaten down to all-time lows, sales slowed only marginally, and Tweeter subsequently staged a nice rebound. Another solid performer was FTI Consulting, a bankruptcy consulting firm. Because of a slow economy, corporate bankruptcies have been running at a comparatively high rate, and FTI is positioned to benefit from this trend. A third
positive contributor, Taro Pharmaceutical Industries, recently received Food & Drug Administration approval of a promising new drug.
 
On the downside, Spectrum Control, which sells radio transceivers for telecommunications applications, was hurt by the washout in telecom equipment manufacturers. Astronics is an aerospace company that derives a small percentage of its revenues from making lighting instruments for cellular phones. Unfortunately, investors’ expectations for the company were in large part dependent on that product line, which experienced weaker demand as a result of the telecommunications meltdown. Forward Air, a freight logistics company, suffered from a slowdown in freight traffic. We still hold all three stocks based on their favorable long-term prospects.
 
What is your outlook?
    
The economy seems to have reached a temporary plateau. The big question is whether it will turn around from these levels or whether we will see further deterioration and enter a genuine recession, defined as two consecutive quarters of negative GDP (gross domestic product) growth. So far, consumers have maintained fairly healthy rates of spending, but if the consumer should decide to retrench, there could be a turn for the worse. Fortunately, we have the Fed aggressively lowering interest rates and a tax rebate coming into consumers’ hands during the summer of 2001. Both of those factors should help to stimulate spending. Our judgments about how reasonably companies are valued obviously hinge on what path the economy takes, but we prefer to make those decisions from a company-specific perspective rather than trying to make top-down decisions about where the economy is headed.

The investment return and principal value of shares of the Fund will fluctuate with market conditions so that shares of the Fund, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Investors should note that the Fund is a professionally managed mutual fund, while the Russell 2000 Index is unmanaged and does not incur expenses, and cannot be purchased directly by investors. The Fund’s return reflects changes in the net asset value per share without the deduction of any product charges. Total return figures would be lower for the periods presented if they reflected these charges.

MML Small Cap Growth Equity Fund – Portfolio Manager Report
 
Note to shareholders:
    
The MML Small Cap Growth Equity Fund is managed by two sub-advisers: J.P. Morgan Investment Management and Waddell & Reed Asset Management Company.
 
What are the investment objectives and policies for the MML Small Cap Growth Equity Fund?
    
The objectives and policies of the Fund are to:
Ÿ
achieve long-term capital appreciation
Ÿ
invest primarily in a diversified portfolio of equity securities of smaller companies (companies with a market capitalization, at the time of purchase, within the range of market capitalizations of companies in the Lipper, Inc. Small Cap Category)
Ÿ
utilize a growth-oriented strategy in making investment decisions
Ÿ
utilize fundamental analysis to identify companies which
–are of high investment quality or possess a unique product, market position or operating characteristics
–offer above-average levels of profitability or superior growth potential
 
How did the Fund perform during the first half of 2001?
    
For the six months ending June 30, 2001, the Fund’s shares returned -4.26%, trailing the 6.77% return posted by the Russell 2000 Index, an unmanaged index of 2000 small-capitalization common stocks. The Fund also lagged the 0.14% return of the Russell 2000 Growth Index, which tracks the performance of stocks in the Russell 2000 Index sharing characteristics common to the growth universe.
 
What factors influenced performance during the period?
    
The slowing economic trend that developed in the second half of 2000 gained momentum in the first half of 2001. Moreover, the slowdown broadened from technology and telecommunications to include virtually all sectors. Widespread earnings disappointments were one consequence of this trend, as were sharply falling share prices in February and March. Growth stocks were especially vulnerable, as investors searched for more stable earnings growth in value stocks. However, small-cap growth stocks generally held up better than larger-capitalization growth shares.
 
Compared with the Russell 2000 Index, the Fund’s performance suffered during the first quarter primarily because of its overweighting and stock selection in the technology, health care, and services sectors. Investors’ expectations for decelerating capital spending—especially information technology spending—affected most of our software, hardware, and technology-related services holdings. Another factor working against us was investors’ negligible patience for relatively immature companies that had yet to develop positive earnings. In the quest for greater earnings visibility that has characterized recent market action, the stocks of these companies were quickly discarded.
 
The second quarter provided a bounce in share prices that was prompted by some bargain-hunting and continued lowering of short-term interest rates by the Federal Reserve Board. All together, the Fed cut rates six times during the first half of 2001, bringing the target federal funds rate down from 6.50% to 3.75%. Lower interest rates mean reduced borrowing costs for businesses and consumers, which tend to stimulate spending. Many investors, anticipating that a resurgence of spending might trigger a recovery later this year or early in 2002, responded by buying stocks. Toward the end of the period, however, the positive effects of the Fed’s interventions appeared to be fading, and the market’s upward momentum slowed. Small-cap growth stocks had an excellent month in April and more modest positive returns in May and June, as measured by the Russell 2000 Growth Index.
 
How did you respond to these developments?
    
We held true to our growth discipline but increased our focus on companies with greater earnings visibility. One consequence of a hard shakeout such as we are currently experiencing is that there are many young companies with negative cash flow that might not see significant recoveries in their share prices for quite some time, if at all. Many of these companies require substantial financing in order to continue growing, and financing opportunities have dried up considerably from what was available during the bull market. These considerations played a part in our decision to liquidate the Fund’s positions in stocks such as Allscripts, Aclara BioSciences, Cytyc, Icos, Niku, Glenayre Technologies, and Rambus.
 
 
 
MML Small Cap Growth Equity Fund – Portfolio Manager Report (Continued)
 

 

Which holdings most affected performance?

Anchor Gaming, a maker of slot machines and other casino equipment, was one of the Fund’s best performers. The company has some proprietary technology that gives it an edge over competitors, and consumers continued to spend freely on gaming activities during the period. O’Reilly Automotive, an auto parts retailer, and Gentex, a maker of electronic components for the automobile market, benefited from their relatively stable earnings growth and strength in the auto industry generally. Another positive contributor was Minimed, a medical device company. Sales of the company’s insulin pump have been strong recently. Another positive influence on the stock was the proposed acquisition of Minimed by Medtronic, a maker of stents, catheters, and other devices to treat chronic heart conditions.
 
On the down side, several of our advertising holdings suffered from cutbacks in corporate advertising budgets, including Dendrite International, Catalina Marketing, and Ennis Communications. The poor performance of GenTek, a plastics manufacturer, reflected the slowdown in the telecommunications industry, for which GenTek makes cable sheathing. Two Internet security stocks, Internet Security Systems and Netegrity, were victims of the slowdown in spending for information technology.
 
What is your outlook?
    
Stock selection should be extremely important in the second half of the year, as we believe that investors will continue to prefer stocks with improving and visible earnings. Year-over-year earnings comparisons should get easier by the first quarter of 2002, which could give many stocks a boost. Additionally, the Fed’s series of reductions in interest rates could begin to stimulate the economy by then. Working against renewed growth in the U.S. is the strength in the dollar, weak economic growth in Europe and Japan, and excess capacity in industries such as telecommunications equipment that could take several years to work through. We certainly do not foresee a return to the unrestrained bullishness of the late 1990s any time soon. However, there should be plenty of opportunities in small-cap growth stocks for those who know where to look. We believe our stockpicking abilities will give us an advantage in such an environment.

MML Emerging Growth Fund – Portfolio Manager Report
 
 
 
What are the investment objectives and policies for the MML Emerging Growth Fund?
    
The objectives and policies of the Fund are to:
Ÿ 
achieve capital appreciation
Ÿ 
invest primarily in a diversified portfolio of equity securities of smaller, emerging growth companies
Ÿ 
utilize a growth-oriented strategy in making investment decisions
Ÿ 
utilize fundamental analysis to identify companies which
–are of high investment quality or possess a unique product, market position or operating characteristics
–offer above-average levels of profitability or superior growth potential
    
How did the Fund perform during the first half of 2001?
 
It was a difficult period for emerging growth stocks, although the investment climate improved considerably in the second quarter. For the six months ending June 30, 2001, the Fund’s shares returned -7.21% compared with 6.77% for the Russell 2000 Index, an unmanaged index of 2000 medium- and small-capitalization common stocks. Over the same period, the Russell 2000 Growth Index, which tracks the performance of stocks in the Russell 2000 Index sharing characteristics common to the growth universe, returned 0.14%.
    
What factors influenced the Fund’s performance?
 
In the first quarter, a weakening economy and rapidly decelerating earnings growth caused steep declines in growth stocks across the board. Aggressive lowering of short-term interest rates by the Federal Reserve Board helped in January, but in February and March share prices in the growth sector fell relentlessly. Although we had been reducing the Fund’s technology exposure since early 2000, our strategy still calls for us to invest broadly in emerging growth opportunities. Consequently, the Fund still had an overweighting in technology, which was a contributing factor in its underperforming the Russell 2000 Index during the quarter. Quality software holdings such as BEA Systems, Agile Software, and E.piphany all had declines in share price of greater than 30%, while wireless holdings Anaren Microwave and Powerwave Technologies experienced a similar fate. Even less speculative segments of the market, such as health care services and medical devices, were swamped by the selling.
 
In the second quarter, growth stocks found their footing, in part due to bargain-hunting and continued easing by the Fed. Some investors began to anticipate that lower interest rates might trigger a recovery later this year or early in 2002. Small-cap stocks outperformed other sectors, as they did during 2000. We went into the quarter with a broadly diversified portfolio that reflected the uncertain market environment. In a reversal of the prior three months, however, technology and health care both posted double-digit gains in the second quarter, with April taking honors as the strongest month of the quarter. Software names such as Agile Software, Quest Software, and Retek contributed positively to performance. Two companies involved in wireless voice and data transmission, Stanford Microdevices and Intersil Holding Corporation, also enjoyed vigorous rebounds in their share prices after falling victim to the intense selling pressure of the first quarter.
 
What about sectors other than technology?
    
In the healthcare sector, where we had a market weighting of approximately 24% of the portfolio, hospital management companies performed well. One example was Province Healthcare, which owns or leases 14 hospitals and manages 38 hospitals. By focusing on rural markets, Province manages to operate the dominant or sole hospital in most of its markets. The company’s successful formula includes reducing patient out-migration, adding physicians and services, and containing costs. The result has been rising profit margins and strong earnings growth. The Fund also benefited from strong performance from Sunrise Assisted Living, a leading provider of assisted living services to the senior population.
 
Versus the benchmark, performance was especially aided by our holdings in the broad consumer sector. Included in this sector are a number of companies that continue to integrate the Internet as a key component in their business models. Expedia, a leading Internet-based travel services firm, is one example. The stock surged when the company announced a first-quarter profit of eight cents a share instead of an expected loss of seven cents per share. GoTo.com, an Internet advertising company with a much lower cost structure than competitors such as DoubleClick and Yahoo!, also benefited from strong revenue and earnings growth.
 
 
MML Emerging Growth Fund – Portfolio Manager Report (Continued)
 
 
On the other hand, the energy and financial services sectors performed poorly in the second quarter. Energy stocks were hurt by falling prices for crude oil and natural gas. Independent power producers such as NRG Energy, which had been bid up by talk of energy shortages, fell sharply. Long-time financial holding Knight Trading, a leading electronic market maker, saw its share price fall as profits declined due to lower trading activity.
 
What is your outlook?
    
We are encouraged by the prospects for our stock universe. While earnings estimates in the emerging growth sector have sustained significant cuts, we still expect average earnings growth of more than 50% on stocks that are trading at approximately 37 times 2002 earnings. Historically, this is a very favorable backdrop for emerging growth investing. Moreover, we are starting to see investors return to emerging growth stocks after avoiding them in favor of more defensive investments. Whether this trend continues will depend largely on how the economy responds in the second half of the year to the Fed’s stimulative monetary policy. For our part, we will continue our efforts to uncover the companies that are positioned to lead the next wave of emerging growth opportunities.

Past performance is not predictive of future results. The investment return and principal value of shares of the Fund will fluctuate with market conditions so that shares of the Fund, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Investors should note that the Fund is a professionally managed mutual fund, while the Russell 2000 Index is unmanaged and does not incur expenses, and cannot be purchased directly by investors. The Fund’s return reflects changes in the net asset value per share without the deduction of any product charges. Total return figures would be lower for the periods presented if they reflected these charges.

Notes to Financial Statements
 
1.  The Fund
MML Series Investment Fund (“MML Trust”) is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), as a no-load, registered open-end, management investment company. The Trust is organized under the laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts as a Massachusetts business trust pursuant to an Agreement and Declaration of Trust dated May 14, 1993, as amended. The following are nine series of the Trust (each individually referred to as a “Fund” or collectively as the “Funds”): MML Large Cap Value Fund (“Large Cap Value Fund”), MML Equity Index Fund (“Equity Index Fund”), MML Enhanced Index Core Equity Fund (“Enhanced Index Core Equity Fund”), MML Growth Equity Fund (“Growth Equity Fund”), MML OTC 100 Fund (“OTC 100 Fund”), MML Small Cap Value Equity Fund (“Small Cap Value Equity Fund”), MML Small Company Opportunities Fund (“Small Company Opportunities Fund”), MML Small Cap Growth Equity Fund (“Small Cap Growth Equity Fund”) and MML Emerging Growth Fund (“Emerging Growth Fund”).
 
The MML Trust was established by Massachusetts Mutual Life Insurance Company (“MassMutual”) for the purpose of providing vehicles for the investment of assets of various separate investment accounts established by MassMutual and by life insurance companies which are subsidiaries of MassMutual. Shares of MML Trust are not offered to the general public.
 
Enhanced Index Core Equity Fund and Small Company Opportunities Fund commenced operations on May 1, 2001.
 
The Equity Index Fund offers three classes of shares: Class I, Class II and Class III. Each share class invests in the same portfolio of assets. The principal difference among the classes is the level of service and administration fees borne by the classes. Because each class will have different fees and expenses, performance and share prices among the classes will vary. The classes of shares are offered to different types of investors, as outlined in the Fund’s Prospectus.
 
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. The preparation of the financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
 
Investment
Valuation
Equity securities are valued on the basis of valuations furnished by a pricing service, authorized by the Trustees, which provides the last reported sale price for securities listed on a national securities exchange or on the NASDAQ National Market System, or in the case of over-the-counter securities not so listed, the last reported bid price. Debt securities (other than short-term obligations with a remaining maturity of sixty days or less) are valued on the basis of valuations furnished by a pricing service, authorized by the Trustees, which determines valuations taking into account appropriate factors such as institutional-size trading in similar groups of securities, yield, quality, coupon rate, maturity, type of issue, trading characteristics and other market data. Money market obligations with a remaining maturity of sixty days or less are valued at either amortized cost or at original cost plus accrued interest, whichever approximates current market value. All other securities and other assets, including debt securities for which the prices supplied by a pricing agent are deemed by MassMutual not to be representative of market values, including restricted securities and securities for which no market quotation is available, are valued at fair value in accordance with procedures approved by and determined in good faith by the Trustees, although the actual calculation may be done by others.
 
Portfolio securities traded on more than one national securities exchange are valued at the last price on the business day as of which such value is being determined at the close of the exchange representing the principal market for such securities. All assets and liabilities expressed in foreign currencies will be converted into U.S. dollars at the mean between the buying and selling rates of such currencies against U.S. dollars last quoted by any major bank. If such quotations are not available, the rate of exchange will be determined in accordance with policies established by the Trustees.
 
Notes to Financial Statements (Continued)
 
Securities Lending
Each Fund may lend its securities to qualified brokers. The loans are collateralized at all times with cash or securities with a market value at least equal to 100% of the market value of the securities on loan. As with other extensions of credit, the Funds may bear the risk of delay in recovery or even loss of rights in the collateral should the borrower of the securities fail financially. The Funds receive compensation for lending their securities. At June 30, 2001, the Funds loaned securities having the following market values, collateralized by cash, which were invested in short-term instruments in the following amounts:
 

   Securities
on loan

   Collateral
Equity Index Fund    $  9,199,672    $  9,533,966
 
Growth Equity Fund    5,935,001    6,111,528
 
Small Cap Value Equity Fund    1,694,904    1,767,500
 
Small Cap Growth Equity Fund     12,261,647     12,867,245
 
Repurchase Agreements
The Fund may enter into repurchase agreements with certain banks and broker/dealers whereby the Fund acquires a security for cash and obtains a simultaneous commitment from the seller to repurchase the security at an agreed upon price and date. The Fund, through its custodian, takes possession of the securities collateralizing the repurchase agreement. The collateral is marked to market daily to ensure that the market value of the underlying assets remains sufficient to protect the Fund in the event of default by the seller. Collateral for repurchase agreements is held at the counterparty’s custodian in a segregated account for the benefit of the Fund and the counterparty. In connection with transactions in repurchase agreements, if the seller defaults and the value of the collateral declines or if the seller enters insolvency proceedings, realization of collateral by the Fund may be delayed or limited.
 
Accounting for Investments
 
Investment transactions are accounted for on the trade date. Realized gains and losses on sales of investments and unrealized appreciation and depreciation of investments are computed on the specific identification cost method. Interest income, adjusted for amortization of discounts and premiums on investments, is earned from the settlement date and is recorded on the accrual basis. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date.
 
Federal Income Tax
It is each Fund’s intent to continue to comply with the provisions of subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), applicable to a regulated investment company. Under such provisions, the Funds will not be subject to federal income taxes on their ordinary income and net realized capital gain to the extent they are distributed or deemed to have been distributed to their shareholders. Therefore, no Federal income tax provision is required.
 
Dividends and Distributions to Shareholders
Dividends from net investment income and distributions of any net realized capital gains of each Fund are declared and paid annually and at other times as may be required to satisfy tax or regulatory requirements. Distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations which may differ from generally accepted accounting principles. These differences are primarily due to investments in forward contracts, passive foreign investment companies, the deferral of wash sale losses, and paydowns on certain mortgage-backed securities. As a result, net investment income and net realized gain on investment transactions for a reporting period may differ significantly from distributions during such period.
 
Accordingly, the Funds may periodically make reclassifications among certain of their capital accounts without impacting the net asset value of the Funds.
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 recorded on the books of the Funds and the amount actually received.
 
Forward Foreign Currency Contracts
Each Fund may enter into forward foreign currency contracts in order to convert foreign denominated securities or obligations to U.S. dollar denominated investments. The Growth Equity Fund may engage in such transactions to manage the value of portfolio holdings against future movements in certain foreign currency exchange rates. A forward foreign currency contract is an agreement between two parties to buy and sell a currency at a set price on a future date. The market value of a forward currency contract fluctuates with changes in forward foreign currency exchange rates. Forward foreign currency contracts are marked to market daily and the change in their value is recorded by the Funds as an unrealized gain or loss. When a forward foreign currency contract is extinguished, through delivery or offset by 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.
 
Forward foreign currency contracts involve a risk of loss from the potential inability of counterparties to meet the terms of their contracts and from unanticipated movements in foreign currency values and interest rates.
 
The notional or contractual amounts of these instruments represent the investments the Funds have in particular classes of financial instruments and do not necessarily represent the amounts potentially subject to risk. The measurement of the risk associated with these instruments is meaningful only when all related and offsetting transactions are considered. At June 30, 2001, the Funds had no open forward foreign currency contracts.
 
Forward Commitments
Each Fund may purchase or sell securities on a “when issued” or delayed delivery or on a forward commitment basis. The Funds use forward commitments to manage interest rate exposure or as a temporary substitute for purchasing or selling particular debt securities. Delivery and payment for securities purchased on a forward commitment basis can take place a month or more after the date of the transaction. The Funds instruct the custodian to segregate assets in a separate account with a current market value at least equal to the amount of its forward purchase commitments. The price of the underlying security and the date when the securities will be delivered and paid for are fixed at the time the transaction is negotiated. The value of the forward commitment is determined by management using a commonly accepted pricing model and fluctuates based upon changes in the value of the underlying security and market repurchase rates. Such rates equate the counterparty’s cost to purchase and finance the underlying security to the earnings received on the security and forward delivery proceeds. The Funds record on a daily basis the unrealized appreciation/depreciation based upon changes in the value of the forward commitment. When a forward commitment contract is closed, the Funds record a realized gain or loss equal to the difference between the value of the contract at the time it was opened and the value of the contract at the time it was extinguished. Forward commitments involve a risk of loss if the value of the security to be purchased declines prior to the settlement date. The Funds could also be exposed to loss if they cannot close out their forward commitments because of an illiquid secondary market, or the inability of counterparties to perform. The Funds monitor exposure to ensure counterparties are creditworthy and concentration of exposure is minimized. At June 30, 2001, the Funds had no open forward commitments.
Notes to Financial Statements (Continued)
 
 
Financial Futures
Contracts
The Funds may purchase or sell financial futures contracts and options on such futures contracts for the purpose of hedging the market risk on existing securities or the intended purchase of securities. Futures contracts are contracts for delayed delivery of securities at a specific future date and at a specific price or yield. Upon entering into a contract, the Fund deposits and maintains as collateral such initial margin as required by the exchange on which the transaction is effected. Pursuant to the contract, the Fund agrees to receive from or pay to the broker an amount of cash equal to the daily fluctuation in value of the contract. Such receipts or payments are known as variation margin and are recorded by the Fund as unrealized gains or losses. When the contract is closed, the Fund records a realized gain or loss equal to the difference between the value of the contract at the time it was opened and the value at the time it was closed. A summary of open futures contracts for the Equity Index Fund and the OTC 100 Fund at June 30, 2001, is as follows:

Allocation
of
Operating
Activity
In maintaining the records for the Equity Index Fund, the income and expense accounts are allocated to each class of shares. Investment income, unrealized and realized gains or losses are prorated among the classes of shares based on the relative net assets of each.

6. Foreign Securities
The Funds may also invest in foreign securities, subject to certain percentage restrictions. Investing in securities of foreign companies and foreign governments involves special risks and considerations not typically associated with investing in securities issued by U.S. companies and the U.S. Government. These risks include revaluation of currencies and future adverse political and economic developments. Moreover, securities of many foreign companies and foreign governments and their markets may be less liquid and their prices more volatile than those of securities of comparable U.S. companies and the U.S. Government.
 
7. Federal Income Tax Information
