Fund Description

Principal Investment Strategies
The Fund seeks to achieve its objective by investing in both equity and debt securities, including money market securities and other short-term debt obligations, of issuers located around the world, including emerging markets, without limitation on the percentage of assets the Fund can invest in a particular type of security. Equity securities may include common stocks, preferred stocks, securities convertible into common or preferred stock, securities or other investments whose price is linked to the value of common stock, rights, and warrants, of issuers of any size, or type, including growth and value companies. The Fund may buy debt securities of varying maturities, debt securities paying a fixed or floating rate of interest, and debt securities of any kind, including, by way of example, securities issued or guaranteed by the U.S. Government or its agencies and instrumentalities, by foreign governments or international agencies or supranational entities, or by domestic or foreign private issuers, mortgage-backed or other asset-backed securities, debt securities convertible into equity securities, inflation-indexed bonds, structured notes, credit-linked notes, loan assignments, and loan participations. Debt securities in which the Fund invests may be investment grade debt securities, meaning that they will be rated at least Baa by Moody’s or BBB by Standard & Poor’s, or if unrated will be considered by the Fund’s subadviser, BlackRock Investment Management, LLC (“BlackRock”), to be of comparable quality, or below investment grade debt securities (“junk” or “high yield” bonds). The Fund may invest up to 35% of its total assets in below investment grade debt securities, corporate loans, and distressed securities. In the event that a security is downgraded after its purchase by BlackRock, BlackRock may continue to hold the security if BlackRock considers that doing so would be consistent with the Fund’s investment objective. BlackRock will invest in “junk” bonds, corporate loans, and distressed securities only when it believes that they will provide an attractive total return, relative to their risk, as compared to higher quality debt securities. BlackRock will invest in distressed securities when BlackRock believes they offer significant potential for higher returns or can be exchanged for other securities that offer this potential. However, there can be no assurance that the Fund will generally achieve these returns or that the issuer will make an exchange offer or
adopt a plan of reorganization. The Fund may hold a portion of its assets in cash or cash equivalents.
In making investment decisions, BlackRock tries to identify the long term trends and changes that could benefit particular markets and/or industries relative to other markets and industries. BlackRock will consider a variety of factors when selecting the markets, such as the rate of economic growth, natural resources, capital reinvestment, and the social and political environment. In deciding between equity and debt investments, BlackRock looks at a number of factors, such as the relative opportunity for capital appreciation, capital recovery risk, dividend yields, and the level of interest rates paid on debt securities of different maturities. The Fund may invest in individual securities, baskets of securities, or particular measurements of value or rate, and may consider a variety of factors and systematic inputs. The Fund mainly seeks investments that BlackRock believes are undervalued. BlackRock may employ derivatives for a variety of reasons, including but not limited to, adjusting its exposures to markets, sectors, asset classes, and securities. As a result, the economic exposure of the Fund to any particular market, sector, or asset class may vary relative to the market value of any particular exposure.
The Fund seeks to reduce volatility by allocating its assets broadly across markets, industries, and issuers and without geographic or market capitalization limits. BlackRock uses the Fund’s investment flexibility to create a portfolio of assets allocated between equity and debt securities. The Fund may but will not necessarily engage in foreign currency transactions, including forward contracts, options on currency, futures contracts, contracts for difference and swap contracts, to take long or short positions in foreign currencies in order to seek to enhance the Fund’s investment return or to seek to hedge or to attempt to protect against adverse changes in currency exchange rates. In pursuing its investment objective, the Fund may (but is not obligated to) use a wide variety of additional exchange-traded and over-the-counter derivatives, including options, futures contracts, indexed securities (securities whose return is based on changes in the value of a designated index), inverse securities (securities whose values vary inversely with changes in a specified index or interest rate), forward contracts, and swap contracts (including, but not limited to, contracts for difference) for hedging or investment purposes as a substitute for investing directly in securities. Use of derivatives by the Fund may create investment leverage.
Under normal circumstances, the Fund anticipates it will allocate a substantial amount (approximately 40% or more — unless market conditions are not deemed favorable by BlackRock, in which case the Fund would invest at least 30%) of its total assets in securities of  (i) foreign government issuers, (ii) issuers organized or located outside the U.S., (iii) issuers which primarily trade in a market located outside the U.S., or (iv) issuers doing substantial business outside the U.S., which the Fund considers to be companies that derive at least 50% of their revenue or profits from business outside the U.S. or have at least 50% of their sales or assets outside the U.S. The Fund will allocate its assets among various regions and countries, including the U.S. (but in no less than three different countries).
The Fund has the ability to invest in other investment companies, such as exchange-traded funds, unit investment trusts, and open-end and closed-end funds. The Fund may invest a portion of its assets in real estate investment trusts (“REITs”) and securities related to real assets (like real estate or precious metals-related securities) such as stock, bonds, or convertible bonds issued by REITs or companies that mine precious metals. The Fund may purchase and sell securities on a when-issued, delayed delivery, or forward commitment basis. The Fund may sell securities short for hedging or investment purposes. The Fund will not make a short sale, other than a short sale “against the box,” if, after giving effect to such sale, the market value of all securities sold short exceeds 20% of its total assets.
The Fund may seek to provide exposure to the investment returns of real assets that trade in the commodity markets, including precious metals, agriculture, energy, livestock, or industrial metals. The Fund may obtain such exposure through, among other things, investments in issuers in commodities-related industries or in other investment vehicles that invest directly in commodities, commodities-related companies, or commodities-related investments, such as exchange-traded funds. The Fund may, but will not necessarily, invest in commodity-linked derivative instruments, including futures contracts, options, and swaps. In order to earn qualifying income under applicable tax rules from commodities and certain commodities-related investments, the Fund may invest up to 25% of its total assets in the MassMutual Select Cayman Global Allocation Fund I, Ltd. (the “Select Cayman Fund”), which was formed in the Cayman
Islands and is a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Fund. The Select Cayman Fund may also hold cash and invest in other instruments, including fixed income securities, either as investments or to serve as margin or collateral for its derivative positions.
The Fund expects that it will engage in active and frequent trading and so will typically have a relatively high portfolio turnover rate.
