The Funds
MML Series Investment Fund II (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 February 8, 2005, which was amended and restated as of February 28, 2005 and December 15, 2011, as it may be further amended from time to time. The Trust consists of the following series (each individually referred to as a “Fund” or collectively as the “Funds”):
MML Blend Fund (“Blend Fund”)
MML Equity Fund (“Equity Fund”)
MML Inflation-Protected and Income Fund (“Inflation-Protected and Income Fund”)
MML iShares® 60/40 Allocation Fund
MML iShares® 80/20 Allocation Fund
MML Managed Bond Fund (“Managed Bond Fund”)
MML Short-Duration Bond Fund (“Short-Duration Bond Fund”)
MML Small Cap Equity Fund (“Small Cap Equity Fund”)
MML U.S. Government Money Market Fund (“U.S. Government Money Market Fund”)
The Trust makes shares of the Funds available for the investment of assets of various separate investment accounts established by Massachusetts Mutual Life Insurance Company (“MassMutual”) and by life insurance companies which are subsidiaries of MassMutual. Shares of the Trust are not offered to the general public. MassMutual, MML Bay State Life Insurance Company, C.M. Life Insurance Company, and the MML Conservative Allocation Fund, MML Balanced Allocation Fund, MML Moderate Allocation Fund, MML Growth Allocation Fund, and MML Aggressive Allocation Fund, which are “funds of funds” series of MML Series Investment Fund, another open-end management investment company sponsored by MassMutual, are the record owners of all of the outstanding shares of the Funds.
Each share class of a Fund represents an interest in the same portfolio of assets. The principal difference among the classes is the level of service and administration fees, and shareholder and distribution service expenses borne by the classes. Because each class will have different fees and expenses, performance and share prices will vary between the classes. The classes of shares are offered to different types of investors, as outlined in the Funds’ Prospectus.
The Blend Fund, MML iShares 60/40 Allocation Fund, and MML iShares 80/20 Allocation Fund invest substantially all of their investable assets in shares of ETFs advised by an affiliate of the Funds’ subadviser, BlackRock Investment Management, LLC (“Underlying ETFs”). The financial statements of the applicable Underlying ETFs are presented separately and can be obtained from the Securities and Exchange Commission’s (“SEC”) EDGAR database on its website at http://www.sec.gov.
2.
Significant Accounting Policies
The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed consistently by each Fund in the preparation of the financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“generally accepted accounting principles”). The preparation of the financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Each Fund is an investment company and accordingly follows the investment company accounting and reporting guidance of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification Topic 946, Financial Services – Investment Companies.
Each Fund adopted FASB Accounting Standards Update 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280) - Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures (“ASU 2023-07”). ASU 2023-07 impacts financial statement disclosures only and does not affect each Fund’s financial position or the results of its operations. An operating segment is defined in Topic 280 as a component of a public entity that engages in business activities from which it may recognize revenues and incur expenses, has operating results that are regularly reviewed by the public entity’s chief operating decision maker (“CODM”) to make decisions about resources to be allocated to the segment and assess its performance, and has discrete financial information available. MML Investment Advisers, LLC (“MML Advisers”) acts as each Fund’s CODM. Each Fund represents a single operating segment, and the CODM monitors the operating results of each Fund as a whole and each Fund’s long-term strategic asset allocation is pre-determined in accordance

with the terms of its prospectus, based on a defined investment strategy which is executed by each Fund’s portfolio managers as a team. The financial information in the form of each Fund’s portfolio composition, total returns, expense ratios, and changes in net assets, which are used by the CODM to assess the segment’s performance versus each Fund’s comparative benchmark(s) and to make resource allocation decisions for each Fund’s single segment, is consistent with that presented within each Fund’s financial statements.
Investment Valuation
The net asset value of each Fund’s shares is determined once daily as of the close of regular trading on the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”), on each day the NYSE is open for trading (a “business day”). The NYSE normally closes at 4:00 p.m. Eastern Time, but may close earlier on some days. If the NYSE is scheduled to close early, the business day will be considered to end as of the time of the NYSE’s scheduled close. A Fund will not treat an intraday disruption in NYSE trading or other event that causes an unscheduled closing of the NYSE as a close of business of the NYSE for these purposes; instead, MML Advisers will determine the fair value of a Fund’s securities in accordance with MML Advisers’ fair valuation policy and procedures. On holidays and other days when the NYSE is closed, each Fund’s net asset value generally is not calculated and the Funds do not anticipate accepting buy or sell orders. However, the value of each Fund’s assets may still be affected on such days to the extent that a Fund holds foreign securities that trade on days that foreign securities markets are open.
Equity securities and derivative contracts that are actively traded on a national securities exchange or contract market are valued on the basis of information furnished by a pricing service, which provides the last reported sale price, or, in the case of futures contracts, the settlement price, for securities or derivatives listed on the exchange or contract market or the official closing price on the NASDAQ National Market System (“NASDAQ System”), or in the case of over-the-counter (“OTC”) securities for which an official closing price is unavailable or not reported on the NASDAQ System, the last reported bid price. Portfolio securities traded on more than one national securities exchange are valued at the last price at the close of the exchange representing the principal market for such securities. Debt securities (with the exception of debt securities held by the U.S. Government Money Market Fund) are valued on the basis of valuations furnished by a pricing service, which generally determines valuations taking into account factors such as institutional-size trading in similar securities, yield, quality, coupon rate, maturity, type of issue, trading characteristics, and other market data. Shares of other open-end mutual funds are valued at their closing net asset values as reported on each business day. The U.S. Government Money Market Fund’s debt securities are typically valued at amortized cost, which approximates fair value, but may be valued using a vendor quote if MML Advisers determines it more closely approximates current market value, in accordance with Rule 2a-7 under the 1940 Act pursuant to which the U.S. Government Money Market Fund must adhere to certain conditions. It is the intention of the U.S. Government Money Market Fund to maintain a stable net asset value per share of $1.00, although this cannot be assured.
Investments for which market quotations are readily available are marked to market daily based on those quotations. Market quotations may be provided by third-party vendors or market makers, and may be determined on the basis of a variety of factors, such as broker quotations, financial modeling, and other market data, such as market indexes and yield curves, counterparty information, and foreign exchange rates. U.S. Government and agency securities may be valued on the basis of market quotations or using a model that may incorporate market observable data such as reported sales of similar securities, broker quotes, yields, bids, offers, quoted market prices, and reference data. The fair values of OTC derivative contracts, including forward, swap, and option contracts related to interest rates, foreign currencies, credit standing of reference entities, equity prices, or commodity prices, may be based on market quotations or may be modeled using a series of techniques, including simulation models, depending on the contract and the terms of the transaction. The fair values of asset-backed securities and mortgage-backed securities are estimated based on models that consider the estimated cash flows of each debt tranche of the issuer, established benchmark yield, and estimated tranche-specific spread to the benchmark yield based on the unique attributes of the tranche, including, but not limited to, prepayment speed assumptions and attributes of the collateral.
The Board of Trustees (“Trustees”) have designated MML Advisers as the Funds’ “valuation designee,” responsible for determining the fair value, in good faith, of securities and other instruments held by the Funds for which market quotations are not readily available or for which such market quotations or values are considered by MML Advisers or a subadviser to be unreliable (including, for example, certain foreign securities, thinly-traded securities, certain restricted securities, certain initial public offerings, or securities whose values may have been affected by a significant event). It is possible that a significant amount of a Fund’s assets will be subject to fair valuation in accordance with MML Advisers’ fair valuation policy and procedures. The fair value determined for an investment by MML Advisers may differ from recent market prices for the investment and may be significantly different from the value realized upon the sale of such investment.

The Funds may invest in securities that are traded principally in foreign markets and that trade on weekends and other days when the Funds do not price their shares. As a result, the values of the Funds’ portfolio securities may change on days when the prices of the Funds’ shares are not calculated. The prices of the Funds’ shares will reflect any such changes when the prices of the Funds’ shares are next calculated, which is the next business day. The Funds may use fair value pricing more frequently for securities primarily traded in foreign markets because, among other things, most foreign markets close well before the Funds value their securities. The earlier close of these foreign markets gives rise to the possibility that significant events, including broad market moves, may have occurred in the interim. The Funds’ investments may be priced based on fair values provided by a third-party vendor, based on certain factors and methodologies applied by such vendor, in the event that there is movement in the U.S. market, between the close of the foreign market and the time the Funds calculate their net asset values. All assets and liabilities expressed in foreign currencies are converted into U.S. dollars at the mean between the buying and selling rates of such currencies against the U.S. dollar at the end of each business day.
Investments in equity or debt issued by privately held companies or funds (“Private Company” or collectively, the “Private Companies”) and any other investments fair valued using significant unobservable inputs may be fair valued using alternate valuation approaches including, but not limited to, the following:
Market approach: considers factors including the price of recent investments in the same or similar security or financial metrics of comparable securities.
Income approach: considers factors including expected future cash flows, security specific risks, and corresponding discount rates.
Cost approach: considers factors including the value of the security’s underlying assets and liabilities.
Investments in series of preferred stock issued by Private Companies are typically valued utilizing the Market approach in determining the enterprise value of the company. Such investments often contain rights and preferences that differ from other series of preferred and common stock of the same issuer. Valuation techniques such as the current value method (“CVM”), an option pricing model (“OPM”), a probability weighted expected return model (“PWERM”), or a hybrid of those techniques are used in allocating enterprise value of the company, as deemed appropriate under the circumstances. The CVM allocates value among the various parts of a company’s capital structure assuming that the value of convertible preferred stock is represented by the most favorable claim the preferred stockholders have on the enterprise value as of the valuation date. The use of OPM and PWERM techniques involve a determination of the exit scenarios of the investment in order to appropriately allocate the enterprise value of the company among the various parts of its capital structure.
The Private Companies are not subject to the public company disclosure, timing, and reporting standards as other investments held by a Fund. Typically, the most recently available information for a Private Company is as of a date that is earlier than the date a Fund is calculating its net asset value. This factor may result in a difference between the value of the investment and the price a Fund could receive upon the sale of the investment.
Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. A three-tier hierarchy is utilized to maximize the use of observable market data inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs and to establish classification of fair value measurements for disclosure purposes. Inputs refer broadly to the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability, including assumptions about risk, for example, the risk inherent in a particular valuation technique used to measure fair value (such as a pricing model) and/or the risk inherent in the inputs to the valuation technique. Inputs may be observable or unobservable. Observable inputs are inputs that reflect the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability and are developed based on market data obtained from sources independent of the reporting entity. Unobservable inputs are inputs that reflect the reporting entity’s own assumptions about the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability and are developed based on the best information available in the circumstances. The three-tier hierarchy of inputs is summarized in the three broad Levels listed below. The inputs or methodology used for valuing investments are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those investments and the determination of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement in its entirety requires judgment and consideration of factors specific to each security.
Level 1 – quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical investments that the Funds can access at the measurement date
Level 2 – other significant observable inputs (including fair value factors, quoted prices for similar investments, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.)
60
 

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Notes to Financial Statements (Unaudited) (Continued)
Level 3 – significant unobservable inputs, to the extent observable inputs are not available (including the Funds’ own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments)
The availability of observable inputs can vary from security to security and is affected by a wide variety of factors, including, for example, the type of security, whether the security is new and not yet established in the marketplace, the liquidity of markets, and other characteristics particular to the security. To the extent that valuation is based on models or inputs that are less observable or unobservable in the market, the determination of fair value requires more judgment. Accordingly, the degree of judgment exercised in determining fair value is greatest for instruments categorized in Level 3.
Changes in valuation techniques may result in transfers in or out of an investment’s assigned Level within the hierarchy. In addition, in periods of market dislocation, the observability of prices and inputs may be reduced for many instruments. This condition, as well as changes related to liquidity of investments, could cause a security to be reclassified between Levels.
In certain cases, the inputs used to measure fair value may fall into different Levels of the fair value hierarchy. In such cases, for disclosure purposes, the Level in the fair value hierarchy within which the fair value measurement falls is determined based on the lowest Level input that is significant to the overall fair value measurement.
The MML iShares 60/40 Allocation Fund characterized all long-term investments at Level 1, as of June 30, 2025. The U.S. Government Money Market Fund characterized all investments at Level 2, as of June 30, 2025. 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.

Derivative Instruments
Derivatives are financial instruments whose values are based on the values of one or more underlying indicators, such as a security, asset, currency, interest rate, or index. Derivative transactions can create investment leverage and may be highly volatile. Losses from derivatives can be substantially greater than the derivatives’ original cost and can sometimes be unlimited. A Fund may not be able to close out a derivative transaction at a favorable time or price.
At June 30, 2025, and during the period then ended, the Fund(s) had the following derivatives and transactions in derivatives, grouped into the indicated risk categories:

The Portfolio of Investments included in a Fund’s financial statements shows the assets or liabilities of the Fund associated with individual derivatives transactions. The terms of many of those transactions contemplate that derivatives receivables and payables between the same two parties may be netted and that the parties will collateralize certain obligations. The following tables provide an illustration of the possible effect of netting provisions and of collateral (delivered or received) on a Fund’s derivatives exposure as of June 30, 2025. Netting arrangements vary among different counterparties, and the actual disposition of derivatives receivables and payables, and of collateral, in a bankruptcy or insolvency can be complicated and difficult to predict.
The following table presents derivative assets by counterparty net of amounts available for offset under a master netting agreement (“MNA”) or similar agreement and net of the related collateral received by the Fund(s) as of June 30, 2025.

Such agreements typically permit a single net payment in the event of default, including the bankruptcy or insolvency of the counterparty. The Fund(s) and counterparties may not be permitted to sell, re-pledge, or use the collateral they receive. In the event that cash collateral is restricted for use, the balance will be reflected as restricted cash within the Statement of Assets and Liabilities.
Further details regarding the derivatives and other investments held by the Fund(s) during the period ended June 30, 2025, are discussed below.
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.
Futures Contracts. A Fund may use interest rate futures contracts to adjust the interest rate sensitivity (duration) of its portfolio or the credit exposure of the portfolio. Interest rate futures contracts obligate the long or short holder to take or make delivery of a specified quantity of a financial instrument, such as a specific fixed income security, during a specified future period at a specified price. A Fund may use index futures contracts to hedge against broad market risks to its portfolio or to gain broad market exposure when it holds uninvested cash or as an inexpensive substitute for cash investments directly in securities or other assets, including commodities and precious metals. Securities index futures contracts are contracts to buy or sell units of a securities index at a specified future date at a price agreed upon when the contract is made and are settled in cash. Positions in futures contracts may be closed out only on an exchange or board of trade which provides a market for such futures. Because futures contracts are exchange-traded, they typically have minimal exposure to counterparty risk.
Parties to a futures contract are not required to post the entire notional amount of the contract, but rather a small percentage of that amount (by way of margin), both at the time they enter into futures transactions, and then on a daily basis if their positions decline in value; as a result, futures contracts are highly leveraged. Such payments are known as variation margin and are recorded by the Funds as unrealized gains or losses. Because futures markets are highly leveraged, they can be extremely volatile, and there can be no assurance that the pricing of a futures contract will correlate precisely with the pricing of the asset or index underlying it or the asset or liability of the Fund that is the subject of the hedge. It may not always be possible for a Fund to enter into a closing transaction with respect to a futures contract it has entered into, at a favorable time or price. When a Fund enters into a futures transaction, it is subject to the risk that the value of the futures contract will move in a direction unfavorable to it. When a Fund uses futures contracts for hedging purposes, it is likely that the Fund will have an asset or liability that will offset any loss (or gain) on the transactions, at least in part.
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.
Swap Agreements
Swap agreements are typically two-party contracts entered into primarily by institutional investors. In a standard “swap” transaction, two parties agree to exchange the returns (or differentials in rates of return) earned or realized on particular predetermined investments or instruments or rates, which may be adjusted for an interest factor. The gross returns to be exchanged or “swapped” between the parties are generally calculated with respect to a “notional amount” (i.e., the return on or increase in value of a particular dollar amount invested at a particular interest rate or in a “basket” of securities representing a particular index).
Interest Rate Swaps. When a Fund enters into an interest rate swap, it typically agrees to make payments to its counterparty based on a specified long- or short-term interest rate, and will receive payments from its counterparty based on another interest rate. Other forms of interest rate swap agreements include, among others, interest rate caps, under which, in return for a specified payment stream, one party agrees to make payments to the other to the extent that interest rates exceed a specified rate, or “cap”; interest rate floors, under which, in return for a specified payment stream, one party agrees to make payments to the other to the extent that interest rates fall below a specified rate, or “floor”; and interest rate collars, under which a party sells a cap and purchases a floor or vice versa in an attempt to protect itself against interest rate movements exceeding given minimum or maximum levels. A Fund may enter into an interest rate swap in order, for example, to hedge against the effect of interest rate changes on the value of specific securities in its portfolio, or to adjust the interest rate sensitivity (duration) or the credit exposure of its portfolio overall, or otherwise as a substitute for a direct investment in debt securities.

Notes to Financial Statements (Unaudited) (Continued)
Total Return Swaps. A Fund also may enter into total return swaps. In a total return swap, one party typically agrees to pay to the other a short-term interest rate in return for a payment at one or more times in the future based on the increase in the value of an underlying security or other asset, or index of securities or assets; if the underlying security, asset, or index declines in value, the party that pays the short-term interest rate must also pay to its counterparty a payment based on the amount of the decline. A Fund may take either side of such a swap, and so may take a long or short position in the underlying security, asset, or index. A Fund may enter into a total return swap to hedge against an exposure in its portfolio — such as interest rate risk (including to adjust the duration or credit quality of a Fund’s bond portfolio), equity risk, or credit risk — or generally to put cash to work efficiently in the markets in anticipation of, or as a replacement for, cash investments. A Fund may also enter into a total return swap to gain exposure to securities or markets in which it might not be able to invest directly (in so-called market access transactions).
Whenever a Fund enters into a swap agreement, it takes on counterparty risk — the risk that its counterparty will be unable or unwilling to meet its obligations under the swap agreement. The Fund also takes the risk that the market will move against its position in the swap agreement. In the case of an interest rate swap, the value of the swap may increase or decrease depending on changes in interest rates. In the case of a total return swap, the swap will change in value depending on the change in value of the asset or index on which the swap is written. When the Fund enters into any type of swap for hedging purposes, it is likely that the Fund will have an asset or liability that will offset any loss (or gain) on the swap, at least in part. Swap agreements may be non-transferable or otherwise highly illiquid, and a Fund may not be able to terminate or transfer a swap agreement at any particular time or at an acceptable price.
Centrally Cleared Swaps. Certain clearinghouses currently offer clearing for limited types of derivatives transactions, principally certain interest rate swaps, certain index swaps, and credit derivatives. In a cleared derivative transaction, a Fund typically enters into the transaction with a financial institution counterparty, and performance of the transaction is effectively guaranteed by a central clearinghouse, thereby reducing or eliminating the Fund’s exposure to the credit risk of its original counterparty. The Fund will be required to post amounts (“initial margin”) with the clearinghouse or at the instruction of the clearinghouse. The initial margin required by a clearinghouse may be greater than the initial margin the Fund would be required to post in an uncleared transaction. If cash is deposited as the initial margin, it is shown as collateral on a Fund’s Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Swap agreements are marked to market daily and subsequent payments (“variation margin”) are made or received by a Fund depending on whether unrealized gains or losses are incurred. These amounts are reflected as receivables or payables on a Fund’s Statement of Assets and Liabilities (“Variation margin on open derivative instruments”) and as a component of net change in unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on a Fund’s Statement of Operations. Only a limited number of transaction types are currently eligible for clearing.
During the term of a swap transaction, changes in the value of the swap are recognized as unrealized gains or losses by marking to market to reflect the market value of the swap. When the swap is terminated, a Fund will record a realized gain or loss equal to the difference, if any, between the proceeds from (or cost of) the closing transaction and a Fund’s basis in the agreement. Upfront swap premium payments paid or received by a Fund, if any, are recorded within the value of the open swap agreement on the Fund’s Statement of Assets and Liabilities and represent payments paid or received upon entering into the swap agreement to compensate for differences between stated terms of the swap agreement and prevailing market conditions (credit spreads, currency exchange rates, and other relevant factors). These upfront payments are recorded as realized gain or loss on the Fund’s Statement of Operations upon termination or maturity of the swap agreement.
During the term of a swap transaction, the periodic net payments can be made for a set period of time or may be triggered by a predetermined credit event. The net periodic payments may be based on a fixed or variable interest rate, the change in market value of a specified security, basket of securities or index, or the return generated by a security. These periodic payments received or made by the Funds are recorded in the accompanying Statements of Operations as realized gains and losses, respectively.
A Fund’s current exposure to a counterparty is the fair value of the transaction.
Inflation-Linked Securities
Inflation-linked securities are typically fixed income securities whose principal values are periodically adjusted according to a measure of inflation. If the index measuring inflation falls, the principal value of an inflation-linked security will be adjusted downward, and consequently the interest payable on the security (calculated with respect to a smaller principal amount) will be reduced. Repayment of the original principal of the security upon maturity (as adjusted for inflation) is guaranteed in the case of U.S. Treasury inflation-linked securities. For securities that do not provide a similar guarantee, the adjusted principal value of the security repaid at maturity may be less than the original principal.

Notes to Financial Statements (Unaudited) (Continued)
Alternatively, the interest rates payable on certain inflation-linked securities may be adjusted according to a measure of inflation. As a result, the principal values of such securities do not adjust according to the rate of inflation, although the interest payable on such securities may decline during times of falling inflation.
The values of inflation-linked securities are expected to change in response to changes in real interest rates. Real interest rates are tied to the relationship between nominal interest rates and the rate of inflation. If nominal interest rates increase at a faster rate than inflation, real interest rates may rise, leading to a decrease in value of inflation-linked securities. Inflation-linked securities may cause a potential cash flow mismatch to investors, because an increase in the principal amount of an inflation-linked security will be treated as interest income currently subject to tax at ordinary income rates even though investors will not receive repayment of principal until maturity. If a Fund invests in such securities, it will be required to distribute such interest income in order to qualify for treatment as a regulated investment company and eliminate the Fund-level tax, without a corresponding receipt of cash, and therefore may be required to dispose of portfolio securities at a time when it may not be advantageous to do so in order to make such distributions.
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. Due to the short-term nature of repurchase agreements, face value approximates fair value. 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.
When-Issued, Delayed-Delivery, Forward Commitment, and To-Be-Announced Transactions
A Fund may enter into when-issued, delayed-delivery, forward commitment, or to-be-announced (“TBA”) transactions (collectively, the “Forward Transactions”) in order to lock in the purchase price of the underlying security, or in order to adjust the interest rate exposure of the Fund’s existing portfolio. In Forward Transactions, a Fund commits to purchase or sell particular securities, with payment and delivery to take place at a future date. In the case of TBA purchase commitments, the unit price and the estimated principal amount are established when the Fund enters into a commitment, with the actual principal amount being within a specified range of the estimate. Although a Fund does not typically pay for the securities in these types of transactions until they are delivered, it immediately assumes the risks of ownership, including the risk of price fluctuation. As a result, each of these types of transactions may create investment leverage in a Fund’s portfolio and increase the volatility of the Fund. If a Fund’s counterparty fails to deliver a security purchased in a Forward Transaction, there may be a loss, and the Fund may have missed an opportunity to make an alternative investment.
These securities are valued on the basis of valuations furnished by a pricing service, selected pursuant to procedures approved by the Trustees, which determines valuations taking into account appropriate factors such as institutional-size trading in similar groups of securities, yield, quality, coupon rate, maturity, type of issue, trading characteristics, and other market data. Securities for which no market quotation is available are valued at fair value by MML Advisers. A Fund records on a daily basis the unrealized appreciation (depreciation) based upon changes in the values of these securities. When a Forward Transaction is closed, a Fund records a realized gain or loss equal to the difference between the value of the transaction at the time it was opened and the value of the transaction at the time it was closed.
Dollar Roll Transactions
A Fund may enter into dollar roll transactions, in which the Fund sells mortgage-backed securities for delivery in the current month and simultaneously contracts to purchase substantially similar securities on a specified future date from the same party. A Fund may invest in dollar rolls in order to benefit from anticipated changes in pricing for the mortgage-backed securities during the term of the transaction, or for the purpose of creating investment leverage. In a dollar roll, the securities that are to be purchased will be of the same type as the securities sold, but will be supported by different pools of mortgages.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Notes to Financial Statements (Unaudited) (Continued)
Dollar rolls involve the risk that the Fund’s counterparty will be unable to deliver the mortgage-backed securities underlying the dollar roll at the fixed time. If the counterparty files for bankruptcy or becomes insolvent, a Fund’s use of the transaction proceeds may be restricted pending a determination by the counterparty or its representative, whether to enforce the Fund’s obligation to repurchase the securities. A Fund can incur a loss on a dollar roll transaction (either because its counterparty fails to perform or because the value of the mortgages subject to the transaction declines) and on the investments made by the Fund with the proceeds of the dollar roll transaction.
A Fund accounts for a dollar roll transaction as a purchase and sale whereby the difference in the sales price and purchase price of the security sold is recorded as a realized gain (loss). If certain criteria are met, these dollar roll transactions may be considered financing transactions, whereby the difference in the sales price and the future purchase price is recorded as an adjustment to interest income. Dollar roll transactions generally have the effect of creating leverage in a Fund’s portfolio.
Mortgage- and Asset-Backed Securities
A Fund may invest in mortgage- and asset-backed securities. Mortgage-backed securities, including collateralized mortgage obligations and certain stripped mortgage- backed securities, represent a participation in, or are secured by, mortgage loans. Mortgage-backed securities may include securities that are issued or guaranteed by U.S. Government agencies or instrumentalities or other issuers, including private companies. Asset-backed securities are generally structured like mortgage-backed securities, but instead of mortgage loans or interests in mortgage loans, the underlying assets may include such items as consumer loans or receivables and they may be backed by collateralized debt obligations (“CDOs”), including collateralized bond obligations and collateralized loan obligations (“CLOs”).
Investments in mortgage- and asset-backed securities subject a Fund to credit risk, interest rate risk, extension risk, and prepayment risk, among other risks. Certain of these risks may be higher for investments in mortgage-backed securities composed of subprime mortgages and investments in CDOs and CLOs backed by pools of high-risk, below investment grade debt securities. Mortgage-backed and asset-backed securities not issued by a government agency generally involve greater credit risk than securities issued by government agencies. Payment of principal and interest generally depends on the cash flows generated by the underlying assets and the terms of the security. A Fund’s investments in mortgage-backed securities may make a Fund’s net asset value more susceptible to economic, market, political, and other developments affecting the residential and commercial real estate markets and the servicing of mortgage loans secured by real estate properties. Payments on mortgage-backed and many asset-backed investments typically include both interest and partial payment of principal. Principal may also be prepaid voluntarily, or as a result of refinancing or foreclosure. A Fund may have to invest the proceeds from prepaid investments in other investments with less attractive terms and yields. Investments that receive only the interest portion or the principal portion of payments on the underlying assets may be highly volatile. See a Fund’s Portfolio of Investments, if applicable, for mortgage-related and other asset-backed securities as of June 30, 2025.
Securities Lending
Each Fund, other than the U.S. Government Money Market Fund, may lend its securities; however, lending cannot exceed 33% of the total assets of the Fund taken at current value. The Funds’ securities lending activities are governed by a Securities Lending Agency Agreement (“Lending Agreement”) between each Fund and the lending agent (“Agent”). The Lending Agreement authorizes the Agent to lend portfolio securities held by a Fund to approved borrowers (each, a “Borrower”).
Each Fund expects that in connection with any securities on loan, the loan will be secured continuously by collateral consisting of cash (U.S. currency) and/or securities (U.S. Treasury and Agency obligations) adjusted daily to have value at least equal to the current market value of the securities loaned. The market value of the loaned securities is determined at the close of business of a Fund and any additional collateral is delivered to the Fund the next business day. The Funds bear the risk of loss with respect to the investment of cash collateral. As with other extensions of credit, the Funds may bear the risk of delay in recovery of the loaned securities or even loss of rights in the collateral should the Borrower of the securities fail financially. Pursuant to the Lending Agreement, the Agent has provided indemnification to the Funds in the event of default by a Borrower with respect to a loan. The Funds receive compensation for lending their securities in the form of a securities loan fee paid by the Borrower, as well as a share of the income earned on investment of the cash collateral received for the loaned securities. At June 30, 2025, the Funds’ collateral was equal to or greater than 100% of the market value of securities on loan and all of the Funds’ cash collateral was invested in the State Street Navigator Securities Lending Government Money Market Portfolio.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Notes to Financial Statements (Unaudited) (Continued)
Subject to the terms of the Lending Agreement and the agreement between the Agent and the applicable Borrower (“Borrowing Agreement”), security loans can be terminated by the Agent, the Fund, or the Borrower and the related securities must be returned within the earlier of the customary settlement period for such securities or the period of time specified in the Borrowing Agreement.
The Funds employ the Agent to implement their securities lending program and the Agent receives a fee from the Funds for its services. In addition, the Funds may be required to pay a rebate to the Borrower. Accordingly, a Fund’s compensation for lending its securities is reduced by any such fees or rebate paid to the Agent or Borrower, respectively. Income received by the Funds in securities lending transactions during the period ended June 30, 2025, is reflected as securities lending income on the Statement of Operations.
Accounting for Investment Transactions
Investment transactions are accounted for on the trade date. Realized gains and losses on sales of investments and unrealized appreciation and depreciation of investments are computed by the specific identification cost method. Proceeds received from litigation, if any, are included in realized gains on investment transactions for any investments that are no longer held in the portfolio and as a reduction in cost for investments that continue to be held in the portfolio. Interest income, adjusted for amortization of discounts and premiums on debt securities, is earned from the settlement date and is recorded on the accrual basis. Dividend income and realized capital gain distributions are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Non-cash dividends received in the form of stock are recorded as dividend income at market value. Withholding taxes on foreign interest, dividends, and capital gains have been provided for in accordance with the applicable country’s tax rules and rates. Foreign dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date or as soon as practicable after the Fund determines the existence of a dividend declaration after exercising reasonable due diligence. Distributions received on securities that represent a return of capital or capital gains are recorded as a reduction of cost of investments and/or as a realized gain.
Foreign Currency Translation
The books and records of the Funds are maintained in U.S. dollars. The market values of foreign currencies, foreign securities, and other assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars at the mean of the buying and selling rates of such currencies against the U.S. dollar at the end of each business day. Purchases and sales of foreign securities and income and expense items are translated at the rates of exchange prevailing on the respective dates of such transactions. The Funds do not isolate that portion of the results of operations arising from changes in the exchange rates from that portion arising from changes in the market prices of securities. Net realized foreign currency gains and losses resulting from changes in exchange rates include foreign currency gains and losses between trade date and settlement date on investment securities transactions, foreign currency transactions, and the difference between the amounts of dividends or interest recorded on the books of the Funds and the amount actually received.
Allocation of Operating Activity
In maintaining the records for the Funds, the income and expense accounts are allocated daily to each class of shares. Investment income and loss, and unrealized and realized gains or losses are prorated among the classes of shares based on the relative net assets of each. Expenses are allocated to each class of shares depending on the nature of the expenditures. Administration and service fees, if any, which are directly attributable to a class of shares, are charged to that class’s operations. Expenses of a Fund not directly attributable to the operations of any specific class of shares of the Fund are prorated among the classes to which the expense relates based on relative net assets. In addition, each of the Blend Fund, MML iShares 60/40 Allocation Fund, and MML iShares 80/20 Allocation Fund will also incur certain fees and expenses indirectly as a shareholder in the Underlying ETFs. Because the Underlying ETFs have varied expense and fee levels, and the Blend Fund, MML iShares 60/40 Allocation Fund, and MML iShares 80/20 Allocation Fund may own different proportions of Underlying ETFs at different times, the amount of fees and expenses
indirectly incurred by each of the Blend Fund, MML iShares 60/40 Allocation Fund, and MML iShares 80/20 Allocation Fund
will vary.

Foreign Securities
The Short-Duration Bond Fund invests a significant amount of its assets in foreign securities. The other Funds, except for the Blend Fund, MML iShares 60/40 Allocation Fund, and MML iShares 80/20 Allocation Fund, may also invest in foreign securities. In addition, certain Underlying ETFs may invest in foreign securities. Foreign securities, including American Depositary Receipts, are subject to additional risks compared to securities of U.S. issuers, including international trade, currency, political, regulatory, public health, and diplomatic risks. In addition, fluctuations in currency exchange rates may favorably or unfavorably affect the values of foreign securities and the price of a Fund’s shares. Emerging markets securities are subject to greater risks than securities issued in developed foreign markets, including less liquidity, less stringent investor protection and disclosure standards, less reliable settlement practices, greater price volatility, higher relative rates of inflation, greater political, economic, and social instability, greater custody and operational risks, greater risk of new or inconsistent government treatment of or restrictions on issuers and instruments, and greater volatility in currency exchange rates, and are more susceptible to environmental problems.
Market Risk
The value of a Fund’s portfolio securities may decline, at times sharply and unpredictably, as a result of unfavorable market-induced changes affecting particular industries, sectors, or issuers. Stock and bond markets can decline significantly in response to issuer, market, economic, industry, political, regulatory, geopolitical, public health, and other conditions, as well as investor perceptions of these conditions. A Fund is subject to risks affecting issuers, such as management performance, financial leverage, industry problems, and reduced demand for goods or services.
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 U.S. 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 U.S. federal income tax.
Dividends and Distributions to Shareholders
Dividends from net investment income are either declared daily and paid monthly or declared and paid annually depending on the requirements of each Fund. Dividends from net investment income may also be distributed at other times throughout the year as required to satisfy tax or regulatory requirements. Distributions of any net realized capital gains of each Fund are declared and paid annually and at other times as may be required to satisfy tax or regulatory requirements.
Distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from generally accepted accounting principles. As a result, net investment income and net realized capital gains on investment transactions for a reporting period may differ significantly from distributions during such period.

Capital accounts within the financial statements are periodically adjusted for permanent differences between book and tax accounting. These adjustments have no impact on net assets or the results of operations. Temporary book and tax accounting differences will reverse in subsequent periods. At December 31, 2024, temporary book and tax accounting differences were primarily attributable to the deferral of wash sale losses, deferred Trustee compensation, and other temporary basis adjustments.
At December 31, 2024, the components of distributable earnings on a tax basis were as follows:

The Funds did not have any unrecognized tax benefits at June 30, 2025, nor were there any increases or decreases in unrecognized tax benefits for the period then ended. The Funds recognize interest and penalties, if any, related to unrecognized tax benefits as an income tax expense in the Statements of Operations. During the period ended June 30, 2025, 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, or the returns filed to date for Funds in existence less than three years. Foreign taxes are provided for based on the Funds’ understanding of the tax rules and rates that exist in the foreign markets in which they invest.
7.
Indemnifications
Under the Funds’ organizational documents, current and former Trustees and Officers are provided with specified rights to indemnification against liabilities arising in connection with the performance of their duties to the Funds, and shareholders are indemnified against personal liability for obligations of the Funds. In the normal course of business, the Funds may also enter into contracts that provide general indemnifications. The Funds’ maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would be dependent on future claims that may be made against the Funds. The risk of material loss from such claims is considered remote.
8.
New Accounting Pronouncements
In December 2023, FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2023-09 — Income Taxes (Topic 740) — Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures (“ASU 2023-09”). ASU 2023-09 is intended to enhance the transparency and decision usefulness of income tax disclosures. ASU 2023-09 is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024, and allows for early adoption. Management is currently evaluating the impact of applying this update.

Item 11. Statement Regarding Basis for Approval of Investment Advisory Contract.
Trustees’ Approval of Investment Advisory Contracts
At their meetings in May and June 2025, the Contract Committee (the “Committee”) and the Trustees, including the Trustees who are not “interested persons” (as such term is defined in the 1940 Act) of the Trust, MML Advisers, or the subadvisers (the “Independent Trustees”), considered and re-approved the existing advisory and subadvisory agreements (collectively, the “Contracts”) for each of the Blend Fund, Equity Fund, Inflation-Protected and Income Fund, MML iShares 60/40 Allocation Fund, MML iShares 80/20 Allocation Fund, Managed Bond Fund, Short-Duration Bond Fund, Small Cap Equity Fund, and U.S. Government Money Market Fund, as applicable. In preparation for the meetings, the Trustees requested, and MML Advisers and the subadvisers provided in advance, certain materials relevant to the consideration of the Contracts (the “Meeting Materials”). In all of their deliberations, the Trustees were advised by independent counsel.
The Committee received in advance of the meetings (i) a memorandum from MML Advisers discussing the nature and quality of the services it provides as investment adviser to the Funds; (ii) a profitability analysis prepared by MML Advisers; and (iii) a fee and performance study report (the “Third-Party Report”) with respect to each Fund prepared by an independent third-party vendor (the “Third-Party”). The Third-Party Report provided detailed comparative advisory fee, total expense, and performance information for each Fund to assist the Committee in its evaluation of the Contracts. The Committee also considered information presented to it throughout the year regarding MML Advisers and each of the subadvisers.
The Committee considered the nature, scope, and quality of services MML Advisers provides to the Funds, including: (i) the financial condition, stability, and business strategy of MML Advisers; (ii) the capabilities of MML Advisers with respect to regulatory compliance and its ability to monitor compliance with the investment policies of the Funds; (iii) MML Advisers’ ability to provide investment oversight and provide for administrative and shareholder services to the Funds; and (iv) the experience and qualifications of the personnel of MML Advisers that perform, or oversee the performance of, the services provided to the Funds, and the needs of the Funds for administrative and shareholder services. The Committee noted that it had received in the Meeting Materials or during the course of the past year: (i) detailed information regarding MML Advisers’ ability to provide investment oversight and provide for administrative and shareholder services to the Funds; and (ii) a wide range of information about the subadvisers and their personnel with responsibility for providing services to the Funds, as applicable, and the fees payable to each subadviser by MML Advisers. MML Advisers reviewed with the Committee in detail the work MML Advisers does in its oversight roles, the expertise it brings to these roles, the size of its teams, and the financial commitment it has made to provide those services.
The Committee then reviewed and considered, for each Fund separately, the detailed information presented in the Third-Party Report regarding: (i) Fund expenses, including, among other things, both the Fund’s net advisory fee and total net expense ratio against peer funds; and (ii) the Fund’s relative performance (over various time periods against funds in its “category” and a benchmark index). In connection with the Committee’s review, MML Advisers provided commentary and analysis regarding each Fund’s expenses and performance and a recommendation as to the action to be taken by the Committee. Throughout the discussion, MML Advisers responded to Committee members’ questions and provided additional information concerning each Fund.
The Committee reviewed the expense and performance information for each Fund. (References to any performance periods are to periods ended December 31, 2024, except as otherwise noted. In all cases, the comparative expense information is that of a Fund’s “peer group” and the comparative performance information is that of a Fund’s “performance category.”)
The Committee considered that the Short-Duration Bond Fund, Managed Bond Fund, Equity Fund, Small Cap Equity Fund, Blend Fund, MML iShares 60/40 Allocation Fund, and MML iShares 80/20 Allocation Fund had total net expense ratios below the medians of their peer groups, or in the lowest two-thirds of their peer groups. Of those Funds, all had net advisory fees at or below the medians of their peer groups, or in the lowest two-thirds of their peer groups, except the Blend Fund. The Committee considered MML Advisers’ statement that the advisory arrangements for the Blend Fund require MML Advisers to bear shareholder servicing expenses having the effect of increasing the Fund’s net advisory fee above the rate that would otherwise prevail, and that the shareholder services in question are the same as the services required under any separate shareholder servicing agreement relating to other Funds in the Trust and MML Series Investment Fund. The Committee considered MML Advisers’ statement that, although the Blend Fund’s net advisory fee would still be above the peer group median even if it were reduced by the portion of the fee attributable to shareholder services, it considered the fee acceptable both in light of the first-quintile total net expense ratio of the Fund and the highly favorable investment performance of the Fund in both the short- and long- term periods.
The Committee noted that the U.S. Government Money Market Fund and Inflation-Protected and Income Fund had both total net expense ratios and net advisory fees in the highest one-third of their respective peer groups. The Committee considered MML Advisers’ statement that, if the net advisory fee for the Inflation-Protected and Income Fund was reduced by the portion of the fee attributable to administrative services (which include shareholder services), the net advisory fee paid by the Fund would be at its peer group median.
82
 

TABLE OF CONTENTS

In the case of the U.S. Government Money Market Fund, the Committee considered that the Fund’s total net expense ratio and net advisory fee, each at the 78th percentile of its peer group, were 13 basis points and 22 basis points above the peer group median, respectively. The Committee considered MML Advisers’ statement that, if the net advisory fee for the Fund was reduced by the portion of the fee attributable to administrative services, the net advisory fee would have been significantly lower and would have fallen within seven basis points of the peer group median. The Committee also considered MML Advisers’ statement that the Fund’s fourth quartile total net expense ratio was primarily driven by the Fund’s relatively small asset base, and that the Fund’s peer group includes several funds that are significantly larger than the Fund (which were included due to the limited number of funds that would otherwise be included in the peer group), and so benefit from economies of scale not available to the Fund.
The Committee also determined that the absolute difference between these Funds’ total net expense ratios and their peer group medians were not otherwise so high as to prevent the approval of their advisory agreements. The Committee determined that the foregoing Funds’ net advisory fees did not appear unreasonable in light of the information presented.
The Committee determined on the basis of these factors that the Funds’ net advisory fees, in light of the total net expenses of the Funds generally, were consistent with the continuation of their advisory agreements.
The Committee considered that the Managed Bond Fund, Inflation-Protected and Income Fund, Equity Fund, Small Cap Equity Fund, and Blend Fund achieved three-year investment performance above the medians of their performance categories, or in the top two-thirds of their performance categories. In addition, the Committee considered that the Short-Duration Bond Fund performed in the bottom one-third of its performance category for the three-year period, but performed above the median of its performance category for the one-year period.
As to the U.S. Government Money Market Fund, the Committee considered that the Fund had performed in the 84th percentile of its performance category for the one- and three-year periods. The Committee considered MML Advisers’ statement that the Fund’s three-year performance was within 0.18% of its performance category median, due almost entirely to the net expense differential, and was below the performance category median for each of the past three years. The Committee also considered MML Advisers’ statement that the Fund is intended to serve as a conservative vehicle where investors may invest cash with minimal risk.
Each of the MML iShares 60/40 Allocation Fund and MML iShares 80/20 Allocation Fund was launched in February 2022. The Committee noted that the Funds had each performed at or within the top half for the one-year period (50th percentile for the MML iShares 60/40 Allocation Fund and 19th percentile for the MML iShares 80/20 Allocation Fund, relative to each Fund’s performance category). The Committee considered MML Advisers’ statement that, although the period each Fund had been operational was too short a period to evaluate performance meaningfully, each of the Funds appeared to be performing appropriately.
The Committee determined on the basis of these factors and on other factors and information considered by the Committee that the Funds’ performance, for the various periods presented, and the level of ongoing review of various underperforming Funds, were consistent with the continuation of the Contracts.
The Committee also reviewed and considered information included in the Meeting Materials, or discussed at the meeting and during the course of the year, concerning economies of scale and the profitability of MML Advisers’ advisory relationship with the various Funds, including: (i) a description of MML Advisers’ revenues from the Funds (including advisory fees and administrative and shareholder services fees, as applicable) and the expense allocation methodology employed by MML Advisers; and (ii) profitability information with respect to each individual Fund. The discussions included consideration of the intangible benefits derived by MML Advisers and its affiliates resulting from their relationships with the Funds and any so-called “fallout benefits” to MML Advisers (which were not considered to be substantial in any event), such as any reputational value derived from serving as investment adviser to the Funds, and benefits accruing to subadvisers (including sub-subadvisers, as applicable) due to so-called “soft-dollar arrangements.” Prior to the votes being taken to approve the Contracts, the Committee met separately in executive session to discuss the appropriateness of such contracts. The Committee weighed the foregoing matters in light of the advice given to them by their independent legal counsel as to the law applicable to the review of investment advisory contracts. In arriving at a decision, the Committee did not identify any single matter as all-important or controlling. The foregoing summary does not detail all of the matters considered.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

As to each of the Funds, the Committee concluded that: (i) it was satisfied with the nature, extent, and quality of services provided, and expected to be provided in the future, under the Contracts, including the level of MML Advisers’ oversight of each Fund and the subadvisory process; (ii) MML Advisers’ levels of profitability from its relationship with the various Funds are not excessive and the advisory fees payable under the advisory agreements and each Fund’s total net expenses are fair and reasonable; (iii) the investment processes, research capabilities, and philosophies of the subadvisers appear well suited to the Funds, as applicable, given their investment objectives and policies; (iv) either the relative or absolute performance of a Fund (in each case, taking into account the applicable investment strategy and risk profile of the Fund), or the steps MML Advisers has proposed in respect of the underperformance of a Fund, are sufficient to warrant continuation of the Contracts for each of the Funds; and (v) the terms of the Contracts are fair and reasonable with respect to each Fund and are in the best interests of each Fund’s shareholders.
