MML Blend Fund
Investment Strategy
This Fund seeks to achieve as high a level of total rate of return over an extended period of time as is considered consistent with prudent investment risk and the preservation of capital. The Fund seeks its investment objective by investing across different asset classes (equity securities, fixed income securities, including bank loans and Rule 144A securities, and money market instruments), each represented by a different segment of the Fund’s portfolio. Under normal market conditions, the Fund’s subadviser, Babson Capital Management LLC, expects that 50%-70% of the Fund’s net assets will be invested in equity securities (the Core Equity Segment), 30%-50% of the Fund’s net assets will be invested in fixed income securities (the Core Bond Segment), and up to 20% of the Fund’s net assets wInvestment Expenses, Sales Charges, and Fees

Impact of Expenses and Fees
The table below assumes the investor invests $10,000 on the first day of year one and that the original investment earns a continuous 5% return. In addition, it assumes the
investor reinvests all earnings, and makes no additional contributions. The 5% rate of return is hypothetical and used only to illustrate the respective impacts of different fee
amounts on each investment. It is not intended to predict future investment returns.
Calculations are done by the 403bCompare site in an effort to provide a standardized comparison of the impact of all fees associated with an investment option. This includes all
required 403(b) product-level fees, and investment-level fees. For more information on fees or expenses associated with a 403(b) product or investment option, please refer
