“Thank you for your ongoing confidence in MassMutual. Our overriding objective is to help you plan for a more financially secure future and give you the information you need to make the choices that are appropriate for you, regardless of market conditions.”

March 31, 2013

Welcome to the MassMutual Premier Funds Semiannual Report covering the six months ended March 31, 2013. Most stock markets throughout the world advanced for the six-month period, as investors continued to show a preference for equities over fixed-income investments, despite continued uncertainty in both the U.S. and, in particular, abroad. The economy in the U.S. continued to show signs of improvement, as unemployment levels continued to decline, the housing market began to show signs of sustained recovery (despite a few steps backward), and corporate earnings turned largely positive early in 2013. Elsewhere in the world, problems such as economic challenges in Italy, Portugal, Spain, and Greece and a banking crisis in Cyprus that nearly caused the country’s financial collapse continued to create concerns for investors. Against this backdrop, the price of oil continued, for the most part, to remain above the $90-per-barrel level, while the price of gold dropped more than $150 an ounce, as investors sold the precious metal typically perceived to be an equity alternative.

Key events that defined the period

Signs of continued economic recovery in the United States gave investors some reason for optimism over the period, despite the challenges brought about by the “fiscal cliff” and sequestration. In October 2012, the Department of Labor reported an unexpected drop in the unemployment rate – from 8.1% to 7.8%. That same month, momentum in the housing market continued, as it was reported that the year-over-year median sales price rose the most since 2005 on strong demand, and housing starts surged by 15% to the highest level in four years. In November, equity investors seemed to appreciate resolution of the question of who would win the U.S. presidential election; however, concerns about the “fiscal cliff” began to generate some investor uncertainty in the immediate aftermath. (Fiscal cliff is the term for a combination of tax hikes and spending cuts that were set to take effect early in 2013 unless an alternate plan could be agreed upon.) Investors were also concerned over the effects that Superstorm Sandy would have on economic activity in the near term and during what would likely be a lengthy rebuilding period. With respect to averting the fiscal cliff, congressional votes to secure passage of a deal were finally confirmed late on January 1, 2013. The agreement prevented broad escalation of income taxes for most Americans except top-bracket individual filers. In February, equity investors focused on the specter of sequestration – the automatic, across-the-board series of spending cuts to government agencies set to go into effect March 1, 2013. Ultimately, however, in March, the U.S. Congress passed a stopgap spending bill to keep the federal government running through September 2013. Also in March, the Department of Labor reported that the U.S. unemployment rate fell to its lowest level since December 2008, and the U.S. Federal Reserve continued its commitment to keep the federal funds rate between 0% and 0.25% and announced it will maintain its $85 billion per month bond-buying program until the labor market sees sustainable improvement. (The federal funds rate is the interest rate that banks and other financial institutions charge each other for borrowing funds overnight.)

In news from around the world, the European Union (“EU”) won the Nobel Peace Prize in October 2012, which signaled the Nobel Committee’s approval of European leaders’ commitment to the EU, as indicated by the EU’s and European Central Bank’s support of Greece, Portugal, and Spain. In November, Greece’s parliament hesitated to vote for another round of austerity, which caused European equities and the euro currency to sell off. In December, Japan’s announcement of stimulus to expand the country’s asset purchase program by more than 10% contributed to weakness in the Japanese yen. In Europe, Sweden, Turkey, and Hungary all cut key interest rates. After slowing for much of the year, China’s economy stabilized along with other emerging markets in fourth-quarter

2012. In January 2013, the Japanese Cabinet approved a ¥20 trillion (yen) ($224 billion) stimulus package which was expected to create 600,000 jobs and help repair tsunami-ravaged coastland. In February, uncertainty over Italian elections led to a hung parliament, which struck fresh fears into the euro zone. In late March, resolution came to the Cyprus banking crisis – although the deal restricted Cyprus’s financial industry and limited its status as an offshore tax haven. Concerns over the details of this bailout and the precedent it set for depositors and creditors pushed down stocks in countries such as Greece, Spain, and Italy. The Chinese economy sent mixed signals in the first part of 2013, but key data points pointed to improvement in the world’s second-largest economy as March drew to a close.

The major stock indexes in the U.S. advanced for the six months ended March 31, 2013 – outperforming, for the most part, their counterparts in other parts of the world. The Russell 2000® Index, a benchmark of small-cap stocks, gained 14.48% – while its nearest domestic competitor was the S&P 500® Index, a measure of large-cap stock performance, with its 10.19% return. The Dow Jones Industrial AverageSM (the “Dow”), an indicator of blue-chip domestic stock performance, was close behind, with its 9.99% advance. The NASDAQ Composite® Index, which tracks the progress of technology stock performance, returned only 4.85% for the six months. Elsewhere in the world, the MSCI EAFE® Index, an indicator of foreign developed-market stocks, posted a 12.04% advance; while the MSCI Emerging Markets Index, a measure of the performance of emerging stock markets throughout the world, gained only 3.87%. Fixed-income investments advanced very little during the period, as the Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index returned only 0.09%.*

Keeping it in perspective

Some financial commentators have suggested that the dawn of a new bull market might be imminent or even in progress. In our view, it is important for investors to maintain perspective during both positive and negative market environments. We see the market backdrop at present as ambiguous, and we believe it would be unwise for investors to use it to justify major deviations from their long-term plan. In the end, we believe you may be more successful if you focus on maintaining a solid individual investment plan that reflects your long-term objectives, risk tolerance, and investment time horizon.**

Thank you for your ongoing confidence in MassMutual. Our overriding objective is to help you plan for a more financially secure future and give you the information you need to make the choices that are appropriate for you, regardless of market conditions. If you work with a financial professional and haven’t met with him or her recently, we suggest you schedule some time to review your retirement investment strategy in order to assess whether or not your current investments are compatible with your long-term financial goals.

Sincerely,

Eric Wietsma

1.   The Funds

MassMutual Premier 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 August 1, 1994, as amended and restated as of November 21, 2011, as it may be further amended from time to time. The following are 18 series of the Trust (each individually referred to as a “Fund” or collectively as the “Funds”):

MassMutual Premier Money Market Fund (“Money Market Fund”)

MassMutual Premier Short-Duration Bond Fund (“Short-Duration Bond Fund”)

MassMutual Premier Inflation-Protected and Income Fund (“Inflation-Protected and Income Fund”)

MassMutual Premier Core Bond Fund (“Core Bond Fund”)

MassMutual Premier Diversified Bond Fund (“Diversified Bond Fund”)

MassMutual Premier High Yield Fund (“High Yield Fund”)

MassMutual Premier International Bond Fund (“International Bond Fund”)

MassMutual Premier Balanced Fund (“Balanced Fund”)

MassMutual Premier Value Fund (“Value Fund”)

MassMutual Premier Disciplined Value Fund (“Disciplined Value Fund”)

MassMutual Premier Main Street Fund (“Main Street Fund”)

MassMutual Premier Capital Appreciation Fund (“Capital Appreciation Fund”)

MassMutual Premier Disciplined Growth Fund (“Disciplined Growth Fund”)

MassMutual Premier Small Cap Opportunities Fund (formerly known as MassMutual Premier Small/Mid Cap Opportunities Fund) (“Small Cap Opportunities Fund”)

MassMutual Premier Global Fund (“Global Fund”)

MassMutual Premier International Equity Fund (“International Equity Fund”)

MassMutual Premier Focused International Fund (“Focused International Fund”)

MassMutual Premier Strategic Emerging Markets Fund (“Strategic Emerging Markets Fund”)

The following table shows the classes available for each Fund, including the date each class commenced operations. Each share class 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.

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, on each day the New York Stock Exchange is open for trading (a “business day”). The New York Stock Exchange normally closes at 4:00 p.m. Eastern Time, but may close earlier on some days.

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 for securities or derivatives listed on the exchange or contract market or the official closing price on the NASDAQ National Market 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 (other than short-term obligations) 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. For all Funds other than the Money Market Fund, short-term debt securities are valued at either amortized cost or at original cost plus accrued interest, whichever the Funds’ investment adviser determines more closely approximates current market value. The Money Market Fund’s portfolio securities are valued at amortized cost, which approximates current market value, in accordance with Rule 2a-7 under the 1940 Act pursuant to which the Money Market Fund must adhere to certain conditions. It is the intention of the Money Market Fund to maintain a stable net asset value per share of $1.00, although this cannot be assured. 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, establish a benchmark yield, and develop an 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. Many pricing models do not entail material subjectivity because the methodologies employed do not necessitate significant judgments and the pricing inputs are observed from actively quoted markets, as is the case of interest rate swap and option contracts. Restricted securities are generally valued at a discount to similar publicly traded securities.

Investments for which market quotations are not available or for which a pricing service or vendor does not provide a value, or for which such market quotations or values are considered by the investment adviser or 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) are stated at fair valuations determined in good faith by the Funds’ Valuation Committee1 in accordance with procedures approved annually by the Board of Trustees (“Trustees”), and under the general oversight of the Trustees. The Funds’ Valuation Committee employs various methods to determine fair valuations including a regular review of key inputs and assumptions and review of any related market activity. The Funds’ Valuation Committee reports to the Trustees at their regularly scheduled meetings. It is possible that fair value prices will be used by the Funds to a significant extent. The value determined for an investment using the Funds’ fair value procedures 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 fair valuation 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.

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

The types of assets and liabilities categorized in Level 1 generally include actively traded domestic and certain foreign equity securities, derivatives actively traded on a national securities exchange (such as some warrants, rights, futures, and options), and shares of open-end mutual funds.

Level 2 – other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar investments, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.)

The types of assets and liabilities categorized in Level 2 generally include debt securities such as U.S. government and agency securities, mortgage-backed securities, asset-backed securities, municipal obligations, sovereign debt obligations, bank loans, corporate bonds, and those securities valued at amortized cost; OTC derivatives such as swaps, options, swaptions, and forward foreign currency exchange contracts; certain restricted securities; and non-exchange traded equity securities and certain foreign equity securities traded on particular foreign exchanges that close before the Funds determine their net asset values.

 

1  The Valuation Committee consists of the President, Treasurer, Assistant Treasurers, Vice Presidents (except for the CCO), Secretary, and Assistant Secretaries of the Trust, as well as such alternate members as the Trustees may from time to time designate. The Valuation Committee reviews and makes recommendations concerning the fair valuation of portfolio securities and the Funds’ pricing procedures in general.

Level 3 – significant unobservable inputs (including the Funds’ own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments)

The types of assets and liabilities categorized in Level 3 generally include securities for which prices, spreads, or any of the other aforementioned key inputs are unobservable. Generally, securities whose trading has been suspended or that have been de-listed from their current primary trading exchange; securities in default or bankruptcy proceedings for which there is no current market quotation; securities and certain derivatives valued by broker quotes which may include brokers’ assumptions; and any illiquid Rule 144A securities or restricted securities issued by non-public entities are categorized in Level 3.

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 Level 1, Level 2, or Level 3.

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 Money Market Fund and Inflation-Protected and Income Fund characterized all investments at Level 2, as of March 31, 2013. The Disciplined Value Fund and Disciplined Growth Fund characterized all long-term investments at Level 1, and all short-term investments at Level 2, as of March 31, 2013. For each Fund noted in the preceding sentences, 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 March 31, 2013, for the remaining Funds’ investments:

Derivative Instruments

Derivatives are financial instruments whose values are based on the values of one or more indicators, such as a security, asset, currency, interest rate, or index. Derivative transactions can create investment leverage and may be highly volatile. It is possible that a derivative transaction will result in a loss greater than the principal amount invested. A Fund may not be able to close out a derivative transaction at a favorable time or price. For those Funds that held derivatives during the period ended March 31, 2013, the following tables show how the Fund used these derivatives during the period (marked with an “A”), as well as additional uses, if any, it may have for them in the future (marked with an “M”).

Foreign Currency Exchange Transactions

A Fund may engage in 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 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.

The Fund(s) listed in the following table had open forward foreign currency contracts at March 31, 2013. A Fund’s current exposure to acounterparty is typically the unrealized appreciation 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. 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 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. 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 may be closed out only on an exchange or board of trade which provides a secondary 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 the 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.

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.

The Fund(s) listed in the following table had open futures contracts at March 31, 2013:

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, 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).

A Fund 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, obligation acceleration, obligation 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 or 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 such 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 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.

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.

The Fund(s) listed in the following table had open swap agreements at March 31, 2013. A Fund’s current exposure to a counterparty is typically the fair value of the agreement.

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.

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 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 when-issued, delayed-delivery, or forward commitment 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. If a Fund’s counterparty fails to deliver a security purchased on a when-issued, delayed-delivery, forward commitment, or TBA basis, there may be a loss, and the Fund may have missed an opportunity to make an alternative investment.

Prior to settlement of these transactions, the value of the subject securities will fluctuate. In addition, because the Fund is not required to make payment under these transactions until the delivery date, they may result in a form of leverage.

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 when-issued, delayed-delivery, forward commitment, or TBA 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.

Inflation-Indexed Bonds

The Funds may invest in inflation-indexed bonds, which are fixed income securities whose principal value or coupon is periodically adjusted according to the rate of inflation, as measured by the Consumer Price Index for All Urban Consumers (“CPI-U”) (for U.S. Treasury inflation-indexed bonds) or, generally, by a comparable inflation index calculated by the foreign government issuing the inflation-indexed bonds.

If the periodic adjustment rate measuring inflation falls, the principal value of inflation-indexed bonds will be adjusted downward, and consequently the interest payable on these securities (calculated with respect to a smaller principal amount) will be reduced. Repayment of the original bond principal upon maturity (as adjusted for inflation) is guaranteed in the case of U.S. Treasury inflation-indexed bonds, even during a period of deflation. However, the current market value of the bonds is not guaranteed, and will fluctuate. The Funds may also invest in other inflation related bonds which may or may not provide a similar guarantee. If a guarantee of principal is not provided, the adjusted principal value of the bond repaid at maturity may be less than the original principal. Any adjustments to the principal amount of an inflation-indexed bond due to inflation will be reflected as increases or decreases to interest income. Such adjustments may have a significant impact on the Fund’s distributions.

The value of inflation-indexed bonds is generally based on changes in real interest rates, which in turn are tied to the relationship between nominal interest rates and the rate of inflation. Therefore, if nominal interest rates increased at a faster rate than inflation, real interest rates might rise, leading to a decrease in value of inflation-indexed bonds. While the values of these securities are expected to be protected from long-term inflationary trends, short-term increases in inflation may lead to a decline in value. There can be no assurance that the CPI-U or any foreign inflation index will accurately measure the real rate of inflation, or that the rate of inflation in a foreign country will correlate to the rate of inflation in the United States. Additionally, if interest rates rise due to reasons other than inflation, investors in these securities may not be protected to the extent that the increase is not reflected in the bond’s inflation measure.

Bank Loans

Certain of the Funds 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

 

224

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.

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.

At March 31, 2013, the Funds had no unfunded loan 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. Collateral for certain tri-party repurchase agreements is held at the Fund’s custodian or sub-custodian in a segregated account for the benefit of the Fund and the counterparty.

Reverse Repurchase Agreements

Each Fund may enter into reverse repurchase agreements with banks and broker-dealers to enhance return. Reverse repurchase agreements involve sales by a Fund of portfolio securities concurrently with an agreement by the Fund to repurchase the same securities at a later date at a fixed price (typically equal to the original sale price plus interest). During the reverse repurchase agreement period, the Fund continues to receive principal and interest payments on the securities and also has the opportunity to earn a return on the purchase price received by it from the counterparty.

Reverse repurchase agreements generally create investment leverage. If the counterparty in such a transaction files for bankruptcy or becomes insolvent, a Fund’s use of the proceeds from the sale of its securities may be restricted or forfeited, and the counterparty may fail to return/resell the securities in question to the Fund.

Securities Lending

Each Fund may lend its securities to qualified brokers; however, securities lending cannot exceed 33% of the total assets of the Fund taken at current value.

The loans are collateralized at all times with cash or securities with a market value at least equal to 100% of the market value of the securities on loan. The market value of the loaned securities is determined at the close of business of a Fund and any additional collateral is delivered to the Fund the next business day. As with other extensions of credit, the Funds may bear the risk of delay in recovery or even loss of rights in the collateral should the borrower of the securities fail financially. The Funds receive compensation for lending their securities 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 loan of securities.

The Funds employ an 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 securities lending agent or borrower, respectively. For the period ended March 31, 2013, the Fund(s) earned securities lending net income as follows:

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 is 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 gain are recorded as a reduction of cost of investments and/or as a realized gain. The Funds estimate the components of distributions received that may be considered return of capital distributions or capital gain distributions.

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 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 the Fund not directly attributable to the operations of any class of shares or Fund are prorated among the Funds and classes to which the expense relates based on the relative net assets of each.

Foreign Securities

The Global Fund invests a significant amount of its assets and each of the International Bond Fund, International Equity Fund, Focused International Fund, and Strategic Emerging Markets Fund invests substantially all of its assets in foreign securities. The other Funds may also invest in foreign securities. Foreign securities, including ADRs, are subject to additional risks compared to securities of U.S. issuers, including international trade, currency, political, regulatory, and diplomatic risks. In addition, fluctuations in currency exchange rates may adversely affect the values of foreign securities and the price of the Fund’s shares. Emerging markets securities are subject to greater risks than securities issued in developed foreign markets, including less liquidity, greater price volatility, higher relative rates of inflation, greater political, economic, and social instability, greater custody and operational risks, and greater volatility in currency exchange rates.

Credit Risk

The Funds may invest a portion of their assets, directly or indirectly, in securities backed by mortgage loans, credit card receivables, and automotive loans. The values and related income of these securities are sensitive to changes in economic conditions, including delinquencies and/or defaults. Continuing shifts in the market’s perception of credit quality on such securities have resulted in increased volatility of market price and periods of decreased market activity that have adversely impacted the valuation and liquidity of such securities.

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 of each Fund, other than the Money Market Fund, are declared and paid annually and at other times as may be required to satisfy tax or regulatory requirements. Dividends from net investment income are declared daily and paid monthly for the Money Market Fund. 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.

Note: The aggregate cost for investments for the Money Market Fund at March 31, 2013, is the same for financial reporting and federal income tax purposes.

Net capital loss carryforwards may be applied against any net realized taxable gains in succeeding years, subject to the carryforward period limitations, where applicable. On December 22, 2010, the Regulated Investment Company Modernization Act of 2010 (the “Modernization Act”) was signed by the President. The Modernization Act changed the capital loss carryforward rules as they relate to regulated investment companies. Capital losses generated in tax years beginning after the date of enactment may now be carried forward indefinitely, and retain the character of the original loss. Under pre-enactment law, capital losses could be carried forward for up to eight tax years as short-term capital losses. The provisions affecting the utilization of capital loss carryforwards under the Modernization Act also require the utilization of post-enactment losses prior to the utilization of pre-enactment losses.

At September 30, 2012, the following Fund(s) had available, for federal income tax purposes, unused capital losses:

Capital accounts within 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, 2012, temporary book and tax accounting differences were primarily attributable to investments in forward contracts, futures contracts, options contracts, swap agreements, premium amortization accruals, passive foreign investment companies, the deferral of wash sale losses, and deferred Trustee compensation.

At September 30, 2012, the components of distributable earnings on a tax basis were as follows:

During the period ended March 31, 2013, 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.

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.   New Accounting Pronouncements

On December 16, 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2011-11, “Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities” (“ASU 2011-11”), as clarified with ASU 2013-01 “Clarifying the Scope of Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities” issued in January 2013. ASU 2011-11 amends FASB Accounting Standards Codification Topic 210, specifically requiring an entity to disclose information about offsetting and related arrangements and the effect those arrangements have on the financial position. ASU 2011-11 is effective in annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2013, and for interim periods within those annual reporting periods. Management is currently evaluating the implications of these changes and their impact on the financial statements.

 

10.   Legal Proceedings

On December 7, 2010, the Trust was named as a defendant and putative member of the proposed defendant class of shareholders named in an adversary proceeding brought by The Official Committee of Unsecured Creditors of Tribune Company (the “Official Committee”) in the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware, in connection with Tribune Company’s Chapter 11 bankruptcy proceeding (In re Tribune Company). The proceeding relates to a leveraged buyout transaction (“LBO”) by which Tribune Company converted to a privately-held company in 2007, and the putative defendant class is comprised of beneficial owners of shares of Tribune Company who received proceeds (the “Proceeds”) of the LBO. The Official Committee seeks to recover payments of those Proceeds.

The potential amounts sought to be recovered from the Balanced Fund, Disciplined Value Fund, and Small Cap Opportunities Fund, plus interest and the Official Committee’s court costs, are approximately $44,200, $299,880, and $414,800, respectively.

In addition, on June 2, 2011, the Disciplined Value Fund and Small Cap Opportunities Fund, were named as defendants in a closely related, parallel adversary proceeding brought in connection with the Tribune Company’s LBO by Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas, in its capacity as successor indenture trustee for a certain series of Senior Notes, Law Debenture Trust Company of New York, in its capacity as successor indenture trustee for a certain series of Senior Notes, and Wilmington Trust Company, in its capacity as successor indenture trustee for the PHONES Notes (together, the “Plaintiffs”) in the United States District Court for the District of Massachusetts. The Plaintiffs also seek to recover payments of the Proceeds.

The Funds cannot predict the outcome of these proceedings. If the proceedings were to be decided in a manner adverse to the Funds, or if the Funds were to enter into a settlement agreement with the Official Committee or the Plaintiffs, as applicable, the payment of such judgment or settlement could potentially have a material adverse effect on the Funds’ net asset values depending on the net assets of each applicable Fund at the time of such judgment or settlement.

 

11.   Subsequent Events

In preparation of these financial statements management has evaluated the events and transactions subsequent to March 31, 2013, through the date when the financial statements were issued, and determined that there are no material events or transactions that would require adjustments to or disclosures in the Funds’ financial statements other than those disclosed below.

Effective April 29, 2013, the Small/Mid Cap Opportunities Fund’s name changed to the Small Cap Opportunities Fund. This name change, together with changes to the Fund’s investment policies, was approved by the Fund’s Trustees. Additional information regarding these changes can be found in the supplement to the Fund’s prospectus dated February 27, 2013.

Fund Expenses March 31, 2013

 

Expense Examples:

The following information is in regards to expenses for the six months ended March 31, 2013:

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 management 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 March 31, 2013.

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.

“Thank you for your ongoing confidence in MassMutual. Our overriding objective is to help you plan for a more financially secure future and give you the information you need to make the choices that are appropriate for you, regardless of market conditions.”

March 31, 2013

Welcome to the MassMutual Barings Dynamic Allocation Fund Semiannual Report covering the six months ended March 31, 2013. Most stock markets throughout the world advanced for the six-month period, as investors continued to show a preference for equities over fixed-income investments, despite continued uncertainty in both the U.S. and, in particular, abroad. The economy in the U.S. continued to show signs of improvement, as unemployment levels continued to decline, the housing market began to show signs of sustained recovery (despite a few steps backward), and corporate earnings turned largely positive early in 2013. Elsewhere in the world, problems such as economic challenges in Italy, Portugal, Spain, and Greece and a banking crisis in Cyprus that nearly caused the country’s financial collapse continued to create concerns for investors. Against this backdrop, the price of oil continued, for the most part, to remain above the $90-per-barrel level, while the price of gold dropped more than $150 an ounce, as investors sold the precious metal typically perceived to be an equity alternative.

Key events that defined the period

Signs of continued economic recovery in the United States gave investors some reason for optimism over the period, despite the challenges brought about by the “fiscal cliff” and sequestration. In October 2012, the Department of Labor reported an unexpected drop in the unemployment rate – from 8.1% to 7.8%. That same month, momentum in the housing market continued, as it was reported that the year-over-year median sales price rose the most since 2005 on strong demand, and housing starts surged by 15% to the highest level in four years. In November, equity investors seemed to appreciate resolution of the question of who would win the U.S. presidential election; however, concerns about the “fiscal cliff” began to generate some investor uncertainty in the immediate aftermath. (Fiscal cliff is the term for a combination of tax hikes and spending cuts that were set to take effect early in 2013 unless an alternate plan could be agreed upon.) Investors were also concerned over the effects that Superstorm Sandy would have on economic activity in the near term and during what would likely be a lengthy rebuilding period. With respect to averting the fiscal cliff, congressional votes to secure passage of a deal were finally confirmed late on January 1, 2013. The agreement prevented broad escalation of income taxes for most Americans except top-bracket individual filers. In February, equity investors focused on the specter of sequestration – the automatic, across-the-board series of spending cuts to government agencies set to go into effect March 1, 2013. Ultimately, however, in March, the U.S. Congress passed a stopgap spending bill to keep the federal government running through September 2013. Also in March, the Department of Labor reported that the U.S. unemployment rate fell to its lowest level since December 2008, and the U.S. Federal Reserve continued its commitment to keep the federal funds rate between 0% and 0.25% and announced it will maintain its $85 billion per month bond-buying program until the labor market sees sustainable improvement. (The federal funds rate is the interest rate that banks and other financial institutions charge each other for borrowing funds overnight.)

In news from around the world, the European Union (“EU”) won the Nobel Peace Prize in October 2012, which signaled the Nobel Committee’s approval of European leaders’ commitment to the EU, as indicated by the EU’s and European Central Bank’s support of Greece, Portugal, and Spain. In November, Greece’s parliament hesitated to vote for another round of austerity, which caused

European equities and the euro currency to sell off. In December, Japan’s announcement of stimulus to expand the country’s asset purchase program by more than 10% contributed to weakness in the Japanese yen. In Europe, Sweden, Turkey, and Hungary all cut key interest rates. After slowing for much of the year, China’s economy stabilized along with other emerging markets in fourth-quarter 2012. In January 2013, the Japanese Cabinet approved a ¥20 trillion (yen) ($224 billion) stimulus package which was expected to create 600,000 jobs and help repair tsunami-ravaged coastland. In February, uncertainty over Italian elections led to a hung parliament, which struck fresh fears into the euro zone. In late March, resolution came to the Cyprus banking crisis – although the deal restricted Cyprus’s financial industry and limited its status as an offshore tax haven. Concerns over the details of this bailout and the precedent it set for depositors and creditors pushed down stocks in countries such as Greece, Spain, and Italy. The Chinese economy sent mixed signals in the first part of 2013, but key data points pointed to improvement in the world’s second-largest economy as March drew to a close.

The major stock indexes in the U.S. advanced for the six months ended March 31, 2013 – outperforming, for the most part, their counterparts in other parts of the world. The Russell 2000® Index, a benchmark of small-cap stocks, gained 14.48% – while its nearest domestic competitor was the S&P 500® Index, a measure of large-cap stock performance, with its 10.19% return. The Dow Jones Industrial AverageSM (the “Dow”), an indicator of blue-chip domestic stock performance, was close behind, with its 9.99% advance. The NASDAQ Composite® Index, which tracks the progress of technology stock performance, returned only 4.85% for the six months. Elsewhere in the world, the MSCI EAFE® Index, an indicator of foreign developed-market stocks, posted a 12.04% advance; while the MSCI Emerging Markets Index, a measure of the performance of emerging stock markets throughout the world, gained only 3.87%. Fixed-income investments advanced very little during the period, as the Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index returned only 0.09%.*

Keeping it in perspective

Some financial commentators have suggested that the dawn of a new bull market might be imminent or even in progress. In our view, it is important for investors to maintain perspective during both positive and negative market environments. We see the market backdrop at present as ambiguous, and we believe it would be unwise for investors to use it to justify major deviations from their long-term plan. In the end, we believe you may be more successful if you focus on maintaining a solid individual investment plan that reflects your long-term objectives, risk tolerance, and investment time horizon.**

Thank you for your ongoing confidence in MassMutual. Our overriding objective is to help you plan for a more financially secure future and give you the information you need to make the choices that are appropriate for you, regardless of market conditions. If you work with a financial professional and haven’t met with him or her recently, we suggest you schedule some time to review your retirement investment strategy in order to assess whether or not your current investments are compatible with your long-term financial goals.

Sincerely,

1.   The Fund

MassMutual Premier 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 August 1, 1994, as amended and restated as of November 21, 2011, as it may be further amended from time to time. The MassMutual Barings Dynamic Allocation Fund (the “Fund”) is a series of the Trust.

The following table shows the classes available for the Fund, including the date each class commenced operations. Each share class 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 Fund’s Prospectus.

 

Class Z

 

Class S

 

Class Y

2.   Significant Accounting Policies

The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed consistently by the Fund in the preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“generally accepted accounting principles”). The preparation of the consolidated 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 consolidated financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Basis of Consolidation

The accompanying consolidated financial statements for the Fund include the accounts of MassMutual Barings Cayman Dynamic Allocation Fund I, Ltd. (the “Subsidiary”), a wholly owned subsidiary of the Fund, which primarily invests in commodity-related investments consistent with the Fund’s investment objectives and policies as stated in its Prospectus and Statement of Additional Information. The Subsidiary allows the Fund to hold these commodity-related investments and still satisfy regulated investment company tax requirements. The Fund may invest up to 25% of its total assets in the Subsidiary. Intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated. As of March 31, 2013, the Fund’s net assets were $19,047,043, of which $916,286 or 4.8%, represented the Fund’s ownership of the shares of the Subsidiary.

Investment Valuation

The net asset value of the Fund’s shares is determined once daily as of the close of regular trading on the New York Stock Exchange, on each day the New York Stock Exchange is open for trading (a “business day”). The New York Stock Exchange normally closes at 4:00 p.m. Eastern Time, but may close earlier on some days.

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 for securities or derivatives listed on the exchange or contract market or the official closing price on the NASDAQ National Market 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 (other than short-term obligations) 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. Short-term debt securities are valued at either amortized cost or at original cost plus accrued interest, whichever the Fund’s investment adviser determines more closely approximates current market value. 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, establish a benchmark yield, and develop an 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. Many pricing models do not entail material subjectivity because the methodologies employed do not necessitate significant judgments and the pricing inputs are observed from actively quoted markets, as is the case of interest rate swap and option contracts. Restricted securities are generally valued at a discount to similar publicly traded securities.

Investments for which market quotations are not available or for which a pricing service or vendor does not provide a value, or for which such market quotations or values are considered by the investment adviser or 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) are stated at fair valuations determined in good faith by the Fund’s Valuation Committee1 in accordance with procedures approved annually by the Board of Trustees (“Trustees”), and under the general oversight of the Trustees. The Fund’s Valuation Committee employs various methods to determine fair valuations including a regular review of key inputs and assumptions and review of any related market activity. The Fund’s Valuation Committee reports to the Trustees at their regularly scheduled meetings. It is possible that fair value prices will be used by the Fund to a significant extent. The value determined for an investment using the Fund’s fair value procedures 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 Fund may invest in securities that are traded principally in foreign markets and that trade on weekends and other days when the Fund does not price its shares. As a result, the values of the Fund’s portfolio securities may change on days when the prices of the Fund’s shares are not calculated. The prices of the Fund’s shares will reflect any such changes when the prices of the Fund’s shares are next calculated, which is the next business day. The Fund 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 Fund values its 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 Fund’s investments may be priced based on fair values provided by a third-party fair valuation 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 Fund calculates its 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.

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

 

1  The Valuation Committee consists of the President, Treasurer, Assistant Treasurers, Vice Presidents (except for the CCO), Secretary, and Assistant Secretaries of the Trust, as well as such alternate members as the Trustees may from time to time designate. The Valuation Committee reviews and makes recommendations concerning the fair valuation of portfolio securities and the Fund’s pricing procedures in general.

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 Fund can access at the measurement date

The types of assets and liabilities categorized in Level 1 generally include actively traded domestic and certain foreign equity securities, derivatives actively traded on a national securities exchange (such as some warrants, rights, futures, and options), and shares of open-end mutual funds.

Level 2 – other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar investments, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.)

The types of assets and liabilities categorized in Level 2 generally include debt securities such as U.S. government and agency securities, mortgage-backed securities, asset-backed securities, municipal obligations, sovereign debt obligations, bank loans, corporate bonds, and those securities valued at amortized cost; OTC derivatives such as swaps, options, swaptions, and forward foreign currency exchange contracts; certain restricted securities; and non-exchange traded equity securities and certain foreign equity securities traded on particular foreign exchanges that close before the Fund determines its net asset values.

Level 3 – significant unobservable inputs (including the Fund’s own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments)

The types of assets and liabilities categorized in Level 3 generally include securities for which prices, spreads, or any of the other aforementioned key inputs are unobservable. Generally, securities whose trading has been suspended or that have been de-listed from their current primary trading exchange; securities in default or bankruptcy proceedings for which there is no current market quotation; securities and certain derivatives valued by broker quotes which may include brokers’ assumptions; and any illiquid Rule 144A securities or restricted securities issued by non-public entities are categorized in Level 3.

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 Level 1, Level 2, or Level 3.

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.

Derivative Instruments

Derivatives are financial instruments whose values are based on the values of one or more indicators, such as a security, asset, currency, interest rate, or index. Derivative transactions can create investment leverage and may be highly volatile. It is possible that a derivative transaction will result in a loss greater than the principal amount invested. The Fund may not be able to close out a derivative transaction at a favorable time or price. The Fund held derivatives during the period ended March 31, 2013. The following table shows how the Fund used these derivatives during the period (marked with an “A”), as well as additional uses, if any, it may have for them in the future (marked with an “M”).

Further details regarding the derivatives and other investments held by the Fund during the period ended March 31, 2013, are discussed below.

Foreign Currency Exchange Transactions

The Fund may engage in 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.

The 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 the 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. The 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 the Fund’s exposure to various foreign currencies. The use of foreign currency exchange transactions may create investment leverage.

Whenever the 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 the 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 the 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 Fund 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 Fund records a realized gain or loss equal to the difference between the value of the contract at the time it was opened and the value of the contract at the time it was extinguished or offset. 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.

The Fund had the following open forward foreign currency contracts at March 31, 2013. The Fund’s current exposure to a counterparty is typically the unrealized appreciation on the contract.

Futures Contracts

The 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. The 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. The Fund may use index futures 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. 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 may be closed out only on an exchange or board of trade which provides a secondary 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 Fund 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 the Fund to enter into a closing transaction with respect to a futures contract it has entered into, at a favorable time or price. When the 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 the 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.

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.

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 in a segregated account. Repurchase agreements must be fully collateralized at all times, but involve some risk to the 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. Collateral for certain tri-party repurchase agreements is held at the Fund’s custodian or sub-custodian in a segregated account for the benefit of the Fund and the counterparty.

Securities Lending

The Fund may lend its securities to qualified brokers; however, securities lending cannot exceed 33% of the total assets of the Fund taken at current value.

 

17


Table of Contents

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited) (Continued)

 

The loans are collateralized at all times with cash or securities with a market value at least equal to 100% of the market value of the securities on loan. The market value of the loaned securities is determined at the close of business of the Fund and any additional collateral is delivered to the Fund the next business day. As with other extensions of credit, the Fund may bear the risk of delay in recovery or even loss of rights in the collateral should the borrower of the securities fail financially. The Fund receives compensation for lending its securities 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 loan of securities.

The Fund employs an agent to implement its securities lending program and the agent receives a fee from the Fund for its services. In addition, the Fund may be required to pay a rebate to the borrower. Accordingly, the Fund’s compensation for lending its securities is reduced by any such fees or rebate paid to the securities lending agent or borrower, respectively. For the period ended March 31, 2013, the Fund earned securities lending net income as follows:

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 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 gain are recorded as a reduction of cost of investments and/or as a realized gain. The Fund estimates the components of distributions received that may be considered return of capital distributions or capital gain distributions.

Foreign Currency Translation

The books and records of the Fund are maintained in U.S. dollars. The market values of foreign currencies, foreign securities, and other assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars at the mean of the buying and selling rates of such currencies against the U.S. dollar at the end of each business day. Purchases and sales of foreign securities and income and expense items are translated at the rates of exchange prevailing on the respective dates of such transactions. The Fund does not isolate that portion of the results of operations arising from changes in the exchange rates from that portion arising from changes in the market prices of securities. Net realized foreign currency gains and losses 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 Fund and the amount actually received.

Allocation of Operating Activity

In maintaining the records for the Fund, the income and expense accounts are allocated to each class of shares. Investment income 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 the Fund not directly attributable to the operations of any one share class of the Fund are prorated among the Fund’s classes based on the relative net assets of each.

Foreign Securities

The Fund may invest in foreign securities. Foreign securities, including ADRs, are subject to additional risks compared to securities of U.S. issuers, including international trade, currency, political, regulatory, and diplomatic risks. In addition, fluctuations in currency exchange rates may adversely affect the values of foreign securities and the price of the Fund’s shares. Emerging markets securities are subject to greater risks than securities issued in developed foreign markets, including less liquidity, greater price volatility, higher relative rates of inflation, greater political, economic, and social instability, greater custody and operational risks, and greater volatility in currency exchange rates.

Credit Risk

The Fund may invest a portion of its assets, directly or indirectly, in securities backed by mortgage loans, credit card receivables, and automotive loans. The values and related income of these securities are sensitive to changes in economic conditions, including delinquencies and/or defaults. Continuing shifts in the market’s perception of credit quality on such securities have resulted in increased volatility of market price and periods of decreased market activity that have adversely impacted the valuation and liquidity of such securities.

Federal Income Tax

It is the Fund’s intent to continue to comply with the provisions of subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), applicable to a regulated investment company. Under such provisions, the Fund would not be subject to federal income taxes on its ordinary income and net realized capital gains to the extent they are distributed or deemed to have been distributed to its shareholders. Therefore, the Fund has not made any provision for federal income tax.

The Subsidiary is classified as a controlled foreign corporation under the Code. Therefore, the Fund is required to increase its taxable income by its share of the Subsidiary’s income. Net losses of the Subsidiary cannot be deducted by the Fund in the current period nor carried forward to offset taxable income in future periods.

Dividends and Distributions to Shareholders

Dividends from net investment income and distributions of any net realized capital gains of the Fund are declared and paid annually and at other times as may be required to satisfy tax or regulatory requirements. Distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from generally accepted accounting principles. 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.   Management Fee and Other Transactions

Investment Management Fee

Under an agreement between Massachusetts Mutual Life Insurance Company (“MassMutual”) and the Trust on behalf of the Fund, MassMutual is responsible for providing investment management services for the Fund. In return for these services, MassMutual receives an advisory fee, based upon the Fund’s average daily net assets, at the annual rate of 0.80%.

MassMutual has also entered into an investment subadvisory agreement with Baring International Investment Ltd. (“Baring”), an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of MassMutual Holdings (Bermuda) Ltd., itself an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of MassMutual Holding LLC. This agreement provides that Baring manage the investment and reinvestment of the assets of the Fund. Baring receives a subadvisory fee from MassMutual, based upon the Fund’s average daily net assets, at the annual rate of 0.60%.

The Fund’s subadvisory fee is paid by MassMutual out of the management fee previously disclosed above.

 

19


Table of Contents

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited) (Continued)

 

Baring provides investment management services to the Subsidiary pursuant to an investment advisory agreement. The Subsidiary pays an advisory fee to Baring based upon the Subsidiary’s average daily net assets. The rate of this fee is equal to the subadvisory fee rate that MassMutual pays Baring in respect of the Fund. The amount of the fee payable by MassMutual to Baring in respect of the Fund for any period is reduced by the amount of the advisory fee payable by the Subsidiary to Baring for that period. Under the Fund’s investment management agreement, the amount of the advisory fee payable by the Fund to MassMutual in respect of any period is also reduced by the amount of the advisory fee payable by the Subsidiary to Baring in respect of that period. The amount of the reduction to the Fund’s advisory fee is reflected as a reduction of expenses on the Consolidated Statement of Operations.

Administration Fees

Under a separate administrative and shareholder services agreement between the Fund and MassMutual, MassMutual provides certain administrative and shareholder services and bears some class specific administrative expenses. In return for these services, MassMutual receives an administrative services fee, based upon the average daily net assets of the applicable class of shares of the Fund, at the following annual rates:

 

 

 

Class Z

 

Class S

 

Class Y

 

Class L

 

Class A

0.0300%   0.1200%   0.2200%   0.3500%   0.3500%

 

The Subsidiary also pays certain other expenses, including administrative, custodian, and transfer agent fees. In respect of certain (but not all) of these fees, the Fund has entered into offsetting arrangements with its service providers which result in a reduction of certain of the Fund’s expenses with respect to those assets held by the Subsidiary. Certain of these reductions are reflected as a reduction of expenses on the Consolidated Statement of Operations.

Distribution and Service Fees

MML Distributors, LLC (the “Distributor”) acts as distributor to the Fund. Pursuant to a 12b-1 Plan adopted by the Fund, Class A shares of the Fund pay an annual fee of 0.25% of the average daily net asset value of Class A shares to: (i) the Distributor for services provided and expenses incurred by it in connection with the distribution of Class A shares of the Fund; and/or (ii) MassMutual for services provided and expenses incurred by it for purposes of maintaining or providing personal services to Class A shareholders. The Servicing Fee may be spent by MassMutual on personal services rendered to Class A shareholders of the Fund and/or maintenance of Class A shareholder accounts. The Distributor is a majority-owned subsidiary of MassMutual. In addition, OppenheimerFunds Distributor, Inc. (the “Sub-Distributor”) acts as a sub-distributor to the Fund. The Sub-Distributor is an affiliate of the Distributor and an indirect majority-owned subsidiary of MassMutual.

Expense Caps and Waivers

MassMutual agreed to cap the fees and expenses of the Fund (other than extraordinary litigation and legal expenses, short sale dividend and loan expense, interest expense, Acquired Fund fees and expenses#, or other non-recurring or unusual expenses such as, for example, organizational expenses and shareholder meeting expenses) based upon the average daily net assets of the applicable class of shares of the Fund, as follows:

 

 

 

Class Z*

 

Class S*

 

Class Y*

 

Class L*

 

Class A*

1.02%   1.11%   1.21%   1.34%   1.59%

 

 

# Acquired Fund fees and expenses are expenses borne indirectly by the Fund through investments in other pooled investment vehicles.
* Expense caps in effect through February 2, 2014.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited) (Continued)

 

Expense caps and waiver amounts are reflected as a reduction of expenses on the Consolidated Statement of Operations.

Deferred Compensation

Trustees of the Fund who are not employees of MassMutual or its subsidiaries may elect to defer receipt of their annual fees in accordance with terms of a Non-Qualified Deferred Compensation Plan. Amounts deferred shall accrue interest or earnings and shall be recorded on the Fund’s books as other liabilities. Deferred compensation is included within Trustees’ fees and expenses in the Consolidated Statement of Assets and Liabilities.

Other

Certain officers and trustees of the Fund are also employees of MassMutual. The compensation of each trustee who is not an employee of MassMutual is borne by the Fund.

The beneficial ownership of Fund’s shares by affiliated parties at March 31, 2013 was 76.4%.

6.   Federal Income Tax Information

At March 31, 2013, the cost of securities and the unrealized appreciation (depreciation) in the value of investments owned by the Fund, as computed on a federal income tax basis, were as follows:

 

       
Federal Income
Tax Cost
   Tax Basis
Unrealized
Appreciation
   Tax Basis
Unrealized
(Depreciation)
  Net Unrealized
Appreciation
(Depreciation)
$23,065,722    $617,986    $(107,457)   $510,529

Net capital loss carryforwards may be applied against any net realized taxable gains in succeeding years, subject to the carryforward period limitations, where applicable. On December 22, 2010, the Regulated Investment Company Modernization Act of 2010 (the “Modernization Act”) was signed by the President. The Modernization Act changed the capital loss carryforward rules as they relate to regulated investment companies. Capital losses generated in tax years beginning after the date of enactment may now be carried forward indefinitely, and retain the character of the original loss. Under pre-enactment law, capital losses could be carried forward for up to eight tax years as short-term capital losses. The provisions affecting the utilization of capital loss carryforwards under the Modernization Act also require the utilization of post-enactment losses prior to the utilization of pre-enactment losses.

At September 30, 2012, the Fund had post-enactment accumulated capital loss carryforwards:

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited) (Continued)

 

Accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America require that only distributions in excess of tax basis earnings and profits be reported in the consolidated financial statements as a return of capital.

The tax character of distributions (including capital gain dividends, if any, designated pursuant to Section 852 of the Code) paid during the period ended September 30, 2012, was as follows:

 

     

Ordinary
Income

   Long Term
Capital Gain
   Return of
Capital
$37,005    $        -    $        -

Capital accounts within consolidated 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, 2012, temporary book and tax accounting differences were primarily attributable to investments in forward contracts, premium amortization accruals, the deferral of wash sale losses, and deferred Trustee compensation.

At September 30, 2012, the components of distributable earnings on a tax basis were as follows:

 

       

Undistributed

Ordinary

Income

   Undistributed
Long Term
Capital Gain
(Capital Loss
Carryover)
  Other
Temporary
Differences
  Unrealized
Appreciation
(Depreciation)
$30,605    $(34,527)   $(215)   $759,091

The Fund did not have any unrecognized tax benefits at March 31, 2013, nor were there any increases or decreases in unrecognized tax benefits for the period then ended. The Fund recognizes interest and penalties, if any, related to unrecognized tax benefits as an income tax expense in the Consolidated Statement of Operations. During the period ended March 31, 2013, the Fund did not incur any such interest or penalties. The Fund is subject to examination by U.S. federal and state tax authorities for returns filed to date. Foreign taxes are provided for based on the Fund’s understanding of the tax rules and rates that exist in the foreign markets in which it invests.

 

7.   Indemnifications

Under the Fund’s 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 Fund, and shareholders are indemnified against personal liability for obligations of the Fund. In the normal course of business, the Fund may also enter into contracts that provide general indemnifications. The Fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would be dependent on future claims that may be made against the Fund. The risk of material loss from such claims is considered remote.

 

8.   New Accounting Pronouncements

On December 16, 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2011-11, “Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities” (“ASU 2011-11”), as clarified with ASU 2013-01 “Clarifying the Scope of Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities” issued in January 2013. ASU 2011-11 amends FASB Accounting Standards Codification Topic 210, specifically requiring an entity to disclose information about offsetting and related arrangements and the effect those arrangements have on the financial position. ASU 2011-11 is effective in annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2013, and for interim periods within those annual reporting periods. Management is currently evaluating the implications of these changes and their impact on the consolidated financial statements.

 

9.   Subsequent Events

In preparation of these consolidated financial statements management has evaluated the events and transactions subsequent to March 31, 2013, through the date when the consolidated financial statements were issued, and determined that there are no material events or transactions that would require adjustments to or disclosures in the Fund’s consolidated financial statements.

Fund Expenses March 31, 2013

 

Expense Examples:

The following information is in regards to expenses for the six months ended March 31, 2013:

As a shareholder of the Fund, you may incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) on purchase payments or redemptions; and (2) ongoing costs, including management 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 Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds. These examples are based on an investment of $1,000 invested for the six months ended March 31, 2013.

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.
