Notes to Portfolio of Investments (Unaudited)

 

1.   The Funds

MML Series Investment Fund II (the “Trust”) is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), as a no-load, 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 Asset Momentum Fund (“Asset Momentum Fund”)

MML Blend Fund (“Blend Fund”)

MML Dynamic Bond Fund (“Dynamic Bond Fund”)

MML Equity Fund (“Equity Fund”)

MML Equity Rotation Fund (“Equity Rotation Fund”)

MML High Yield Fund (“High Yield Fund”)

MML Inflation-Protected and Income Fund (“Inflation-Protected and Income 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 Special Situations Fund (“Special Situations Fund”)

MML Strategic Emerging Markets Fund (“Strategic Emerging Markets Fund”)

MML U.S. Government Money Market Fund (formerly known as MML 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 Allocation Funds, 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.

U.S. Government Money Market Fund’s name, investment objective, and investment strategy changed on May 1, 2016 when the Fund changed from a money market fund to a government money market fund.

 

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 (“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.

Notes to Portfolio of Investments (Unaudited) (Continued)

 

Equity securities and derivative contracts that are actively traded on a national securities exchange or contract market are valued on the basis of information furnished by a pricing service, which provides the last reported sale price, or, in the case of futures contracts, the settlement price, for securities or derivatives listed on the exchange or contract market or the official closing price on the NASDAQ National Market System (“NASDAQ System”), or in the case of over-the-counter (“OTC”) securities for which an official closing price is unavailable or not reported on the NASDAQ System, the last reported bid price. Portfolio securities traded on more than one national securities exchange are valued at the last price at the close of the exchange representing the principal market for such securities. Debt securities (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, but may be valued using a vendor quote if the Fund’s investment adviser 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. 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 significant 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

 

1  The Valuation Committee consists of the President, Treasurer, Assistant Treasurers, Vice Presidents (except for the CCO), Assistant Vice Presidents, 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 determines the fair valuation of portfolio securities and the Funds’ pricing procedures in general.

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.

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 significant 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 High Yield Fund and U.S. Government Money Market Fund characterized all investments at Level 2, as of September 30, 2016. The Equity Fund, Equity Rotation Fund, Small Cap Equity Fund and Special Situations Fund characterized all long-term investments at Level 1, and all short-term investments at Level 2, as of September 30, 2016. 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 September 30, 2016, 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. Gains or losses from derivatives can be substantially greater than their 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. For those Funds that held derivatives at September 30, 2016, the following tables shows how the Fund used these types of 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(s) at September 30, 2016, are discussed below.

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.

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 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, 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 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.

Credit Default Swaps. A Fund also may enter into credit default swap transactions, as a “buyer” or “seller” of credit protection. In a credit default swap, one party provides what is in effect insurance against a default or other adverse credit event affecting an issuer of debt securities (typically referred to as a “reference entity”). In general, the buyer of credit protection is obligated to pay the protection seller an upfront amount or a periodic stream of payments over the term of the swap. If a “credit event” occurs, the buyer has the right to deliver to the seller bonds or other obligations of the reference entity (with a value up to the full notional value of the swap), and to receive a payment equal to the par value of the bonds or other obligations. Credit events that would trigger a request that the seller make payment are specific to each credit default swap agreement, but generally include bankruptcy, failure to pay, restructuring, acceleration, default, or repudiation/moratorium. When a Fund buys protection, it may or may not own securities of the reference entity. If it does own securities of the reference entity, the swap serves as a hedge against a decline in the value of the securities due to the occurrence of a credit event involving the issuer of the securities. If the Fund does not own securities of the reference entity, the credit default swap may be seen to create a short position in the reference entity. If a Fund is a buyer and no credit event occurs, the Fund will typically recover nothing under the swap, but will have had to pay the required upfront payment 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 a “synthetic” long position.

Whenever a Fund enters into a swap agreement, it takes on counterparty risk — the risk that its counterparty will be unable or unwilling to meet its obligations under the swap agreement. The Fund also takes the risk that the market will move against its position in the swap agreement. In the case of an interest rate swap, the value of the swap may increase or decrease depending on changes in interest rates. In the case of a credit default swap, the swap will become more or less valuable depending on the credit

of the issuer of the underlying security, and, if a credit event occurs under a swap where the Fund is the seller of credit protection, the Fund could be required to purchase the security at par value, resulting in a significant loss to the Fund. When the Fund enters into any type of swap for hedging purposes, it is likely that the Fund will have an asset or liability that will offset any loss (or gain) on the swap, at least in part. Swap agreements may be non-transferable or otherwise highly illiquid, and a Fund may not be able to terminate or transfer a swap agreement at any particular time or at an acceptable price.

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.

The Fund(s) listed in the following table had open swap transactions at September 30, 2016. A Fund’s current exposure to a counterparty is the fair value of the transaction.

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

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.

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 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 September 30, 2016, 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.

Certain agreements have no stated maturity and can be terminated by either party at any time. Interest on the value of the reverse repurchase agreements issued and outstanding is based upon competitive market rates determined at the time of issuance. A Fund may utilize reverse repurchase agreements when it is anticipated that the interest income to be earned from the investment of the proceeds of the transaction is greater than the interest expense of the transaction. Reverse repurchase agreements generally create investment leverage and involve the risk that the market value of the security that a Fund is obligated to repurchase under the agreement may decline below the repurchase price. For financial reporting purposes, cash received in exchange for securities delivered plus accrued interest payments to be made to the counterparty is recorded as a liability in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities at face value including accrued interest. Due to the short term nature of reverse repurchase agreements, face value approximates fair value. Interest payments made by a Fund to the counterparties are recorded as a component of interest expense in the Statements of Operations. In periods of increased demand for a security, a Fund may receive a fee for use of the security by the counterparty, which may result in interest income to the Fund.

Reverse repurchase transactions are entered into by a Fund under a Master Repurchase Agreement (“MRA”), which permits the Fund, under certain circumstances, including an event of default (such as bankruptcy or insolvency), to offset payables and/or receivables under the MRA with collateral held and/or posted to the counterparty and creates one single net payment due to or from the Fund. With reverse repurchase transactions, typically a Fund and the counterparties are permitted to sell, re-pledge, or use the collateral associated with the transaction. However, bankruptcy or insolvency laws of a particular jurisdiction may impose restrictions on or prohibitions against such a right of offset in the event of an MRA counterparty’s bankruptcy or insolvency. Pursuant to the terms of the MRA, a Fund receives or posts securities as collateral with a market value in excess of the repurchase price to be paid or received by the Fund upon the maturity of the transaction. Upon a bankruptcy or insolvency of the MRA counterparty, the Fund is considered an unsecured creditor with respect to excess collateral and, as such, the return of excess collateral may be delayed.

In the event the buyer of securities under an MRA 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.

When-Issued, Delayed-Delivery, Forward Commitment, and To-Be-Announced Transactions

A Fund may enter into when-issued, delayed-delivery, forward commitment, or to-be-announced (“TBA”) transactions (collectively, the “Forward Transactions”) in order to lock in the purchase price of the underlying security, or in order to adjust the interest rate exposure of the Fund’s existing portfolio. In Forward Transactions, a Fund commits to purchase or sell particular securities, with payment and delivery to take place at a future date. In the case of TBA purchase commitments, the unit price and the estimated principal amount are established when the Fund enters into a commitment, with the actual principal amount being within a specified range of the estimate. Although a Fund does not typically pay for the securities in these types of transactions until they are delivered, it immediately assumes the risks of ownership, including the risk of price fluctuation. As a result, each of these types of transactions may create investment leverage in a Fund’s portfolio and increase the volatility of the Fund. If a Fund’s counterparty fails to deliver a security purchased in a Forward Transaction, there may be a loss, and the Fund may have missed an opportunity to make an alternative investment.

These securities are valued on the basis of valuations furnished by a pricing service, selected pursuant to procedures approved by the Trustees, which determines valuations taking into account appropriate factors such as institutional-size trading in similar groups of securities, yield, quality, coupon rate, maturity, type of issue, trading characteristics, and other market data. Securities for which no market quotation is available are valued at fair value in accordance with procedures approved by the Trustees. The Funds record on a daily basis the unrealized appreciation (depreciation) based upon changes in the values of these securities. When a Forward Transaction is closed, the Funds record a realized gain or loss equal to the difference between the value of the transaction at the time it was opened and the value of the transaction at the time it was closed.

Securities Lending

The Asset Momentum Fund, Blend Fund, Dynamic Bond Fund, Equity Fund, Equity Rotation Fund, High Yield Fund, Inflation-Protected and Income Fund, Managed Bond Fund, Short-Duration Bond Fund, Small Cap Equity Fund, Special Situations Fund, and Strategic Emerging Markets Fund may lend their securities; however, lending cannot exceed 10% of the total assets of the Managed Bond Fund taken at current value, and 33% of the total assets of the Asset Momentum Fund, Blend Fund, Dynamic Bond

Fund, Equity Fund, Equity Rotation Fund, High Yield Fund, Inflation-Protected and Income Fund, Short-Duration Bond Fund, Small Cap Equity Fund, Special Situations Fund, and Strategic Emerging Markets Fund, respectively, 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 qualifying U.S. and foreign 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 or securities adjusted daily to have market 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. 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 loaned securities. At September 30, 2016, the Funds’ collateral was equal to or greater than 100% of the market value of securities on loan.

Security loans can be terminated at the discretion of either the lending agent or the Fund and the related securities must be returned within the earlier of the standard trade settlement period for such securities or within three business days. For all Funds, all securities on loan are classified as common stock in the Fund’s Portfolio of Investments at September 30, 2016.

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 determine the classification of distributions received as 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 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 classes to which the expense relates based on relative net assets.

Foreign Securities

The Strategic Emerging Markets Fund invests substantially all of its assets and the Asset Momentum Fund invests a significant amount of its assets in foreign securities. The other Funds may also invest in foreign securities. Foreign securities, including American Depositary Receipts, are subject to additional risks compared to securities of U.S. issuers, including international trade, currency, political, regulatory, and diplomatic risks. In addition, fluctuations in currency exchange rates may adversely 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, 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.

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, 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 are declared and paid quarterly for the Blend Fund, Dynamic Bond Fund, High Yield Fund, Inflation-Protected and Income Fund, Managed Bond Fund, and Short-Duration Bond Fund and annually for the Asset Momentum Fund, Equity Fund, Equity Rotation Fund, Small Cap Equity Fund, Special Situations Fund, and Strategic Emerging Markets Fund, 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 U.S. Government 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.

4.   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 (“LBO”) transaction 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 amount sought to be recovered from the Blend Fund and Small Cap Equity Fund, plus interest and the Official Committee’s court costs, are approximately $207,400 and $93,500, respectively.

In addition, on June 2, 2011, the Blend Fund was named as a defendant 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. Accordingly, the Funds have not accrued any amounts related to 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 value depending on the net assets of the each applicable Fund at the time of such judgment or settlement.

 

5.   Subsequent Events

Management has evaluated the events and transactions subsequent to September 30, 2016, through the date when the Portfolios of Investments were issued, and determined that there are no subsequent events or transactions that would require adjustments to or disclosures in the Funds’ Portfolios of Investments.
