TO OUR SHAREHOLDERS JULY 31, 1997
We are pleased to present MassMutual Corporate Investors' report for the first
six months of 1997.
There are several noteworthy items to report this quarter: 1) An increase in the
quarterly dividend; 2) Higher quarterly net investment income; 3) An all-time
high net asset value; and 4) Significant realized capital gains.
The net assets of the Trust hit another all-time high level at $45.54 per share
at June 30, 1997. This translated into a 10.1% return for the quarter, and 14.5%
year-to-date, as measured by change in net assets with reinvestment of
dividends.
Net investment income of the Trust for the second quarter was also higher at
$3,066,951 or 72.0 cents per share versus $3,057,559 or 71.8 cents per share for
the quarter ended March 31. For the six months ended June 30, 1997, net
investment income was $6,124,510 or $1.44 per share as compared to $5,459,746 or
$1.28 per share for the same period last year. Reflecting this increase, the
Trustees raised the quarterly dividend to $.73 per share payable on August 14,
1997 to shareholders of record on July 31, 1997, up from the $.71 per share
level a quarter ago.
There were significant positive events that occurred in the portfolio during the
quarter. Telex Communications Corp. is a company to which we made a private
placement loan in 1989. We held $2,500,000 of its 14.5% subordinated notes and
nominal cost warrants until 1994, when the company underwent a recapitalization
and our loan was repaid at a $135,938 gain. However, we held our warrants and
participated in the recapitalization by buying $1,500,000 of their 12% publicly
traded bonds. On May 6, 1997, Telex was acquired at a price which gave us a
$5,899,831 gain on our warrants as well as a $218,895 gain on our bonds. Another
investment, PanEnergy Corporation (originally our note was with Grand Valley Gas
Company) was acquired by Duke Power Corporation. As a result, our $3 million
convertible note was converted and our stock sold for a gain of nearly $3.2
million. Other significant gains realized during the quarter were in Kuhlman
Corporation ($1.7 million) and CompuCom Systems, Inc. ($1.8 million). We have
converted our sale of CompuCom, with our original $3 million invested yielding
total gains of $8.1 million over the past the several years. We also completed
the sale of our holdings in Monro Muffler Brake Inc. where over the past several
years we realized $5.2 million in gains on our $2 million 1985 investment. Our
total net gains for the first six months amounted to $20,043,777 or $4.71 per
share of which $2,304,716, or $.54 per share represents short-term gains which
are required to be distributed to shareholders each year.
We closed on three new private placement investments during the second quarter.
We were able to help Eagle Pacific Industries, Inc., the sixth largest extruder
of small and medium diameter plastic pipe and tubing, refinance some of its
existing debt as well as finance the construction of additional manufacturing
capacity. We helped finance the purchase of Truseal Technologies, Inc., a
manufacturer of sealant systems for windows and doors, and Hartzell
Manufacturing, Inc., an engineering, manufacturing, and assembly services
company, both of which were purchased by buyout sponsors with whom we have solid
relationships. For a more complete description of our investments in these
companies, see the Schedule of Investments section of this report.
The Trustees and management appreciate the continued interest and support of the
shareholders of Corporate Investors.
Sincerely,
/s/ Stuart H. Reese
Stuart H. Reese
President

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS MASSMUTUAL CORPORATE INVESTORS
(Unaudited)
1. History
MassMutual Corporate Investors (the "Trust") is a closed-end,
non-diversified investment company. Massachusetts Mutual Life Insurance
Company ("MassMutual") acts as its investment adviser.
The Trust commenced operations in 1971 as a Delaware corporation. Pursuant
to an Agreement and Plan of Reorganization dated November 14, 1985,
approved by shareholders, the Trust was organized as a Massachusetts
business trust effective November 28, 1985.
2. Significant Accounting Policies
The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed
consistently by the Trust in the preparation of the financial statements in
conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.
A. Valuation of Investments:
Nearly all securities which are acquired by the Trust directly from the
issuers and shares into which such securities may be converted or which may
be purchased on the exercise of warrants attached to such securities will
be subject to legal or contractual delays in or restrictions on resale and
will therefore be "restricted securities". Generally speaking, as
contrasted with open-market sales of unrestricted securities which may be
effected immediately if the market is adequate, restricted securities can
be sold only in a directly negotiated transaction to a limited number of
purchasers or in a public offering for which a registration statement is in
effect under the Securities Act of 1933.
The value of restricted securities, and of any other assets for which there
are no reliable market quotations, is the fair value as determined in good
faith by the Trustees. Each restricted security is valued by the Trustees
as of the time of the acquisition thereof and quarterly thereafter. The
Trustees have established guidelines to aid in the valuation of each
security. Generally, restricted securities are initially valued at cost or
less at the time of acquisition by the Trust. Values greater or less than
cost are used thereafter for restricted securities in appropriate
circumstances. Among the factors ordinarily considered are the existence of
restrictions upon the sale of the security by the Trust; an estimate of the
existence and extent of a market for the security; the estimated period of
time during which the security will not be freely marketable; the estimated
expenses of registering or otherwise qualifying the security for public
sale; estimated underwriting commissions if underwriting would be required
to effect a sale; in the case of a convertible security, whether or not it
would trade on the basis of its stock equivalent; if it is a debt
obligation which would trade independently of any equity equivalent, the
current yields on comparable securities; the estimated amount of the
floating supply of such securities available; the proportion of the issue
held by the Trust; any changes in the financial condition and prospects of
the issuers; the existence of merger proposals or tender offers affecting
the issuers; and in addition any other factors affecting fair value, all in
accordance with the Investment Company Act of 1940. In making valuations,
opinions of counsel are relied upon as to whether or not securities are
restricted securities and as to the legal requirements for public sale.
When market quotations are readily available for unrestricted securities of
an issuer, restricted securities of the same class are generally valued at
a discount from the market price of such unrestricted securities. The
Trustees, however, consider all factors in fixing any discount, including
the filing of a registration statement for such securities under the
Securities Act of 1933 and any other developments which are likely to
increase the probability that the securities may be publicly sold by the
Trust without restriction.
The Board of Trustees of the Trust meets at least once in each quarter to
value the Trust's portfolio securities as of the close of business on the
last business day of the preceding quarter. This valuation requires the
approval of a majority of the Trustees of the Trust, including a majority
of Trustees who are not interested persons of the Trust (otherwise than as
Trustees) or of MassMutual. In making valuations, the Trustees will
consider reports by MassMutual analyzing each portfolio security in
accordance with the relevant factors referred to above. MassMutual has
agreed to provide such reports to the Trust at least quarterly.
The financial statements include restricted securities valued at
$159,255,782 (82.16% of net assets) as of June 30, 1997 ($124,691,206 at
June 30, 1996) whose values have been estimated by the Board of Trustees in
the absence of readily ascertainable market values. Due to the inherent
uncertainty of valuation, those estimated values may differ significantly
from the values that would have been used had a ready market for the
securities existed, and the differences could be material.
22
<PAGE>
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
The values for corporate public securities are stated at the last reported
sales price or at prices based upon quotations obtained from brokers and
dealers as of June 30, 1997, subject to discount where appropriate, and are
approved by the Trustees.
Short-term securities with more than sixty days to maturity are valued at
market and short-term securities having a maturity of sixty days or less
are valued at amortized cost which approximates market value.
B. Accounting for Investments:
Investment transactions are accounted for on trade date. Dividend income is
recorded on the ex-dividend date. Interest income is recorded on the
accrual basis.
The cost basis of debt securities is not adjusted for amortization of
premium since the Trust does not generally intend to hold such investments
until maturity; however, the Trust has elected to accrue for financial
reporting purposes, certain discounts which are required to be accrued for
federal income tax purposes.
Realized gains and losses on investment transactions and unrealized
appreciation and depreciation of investments are reported for financial
statement and federal income tax purposes on the identified cost method.
The Trust does not accrue income when payment is delinquent or when
management believes payment is questionable.
C. Use of Estimates:
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and
assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and
disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the
financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses
during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those
estimates. D. Federal Income Taxes:
No provision for federal taxes on net investment income and short-term
capital gains is considered necessary because the Trust has elected to be
taxed as a "regulated investment company" under the Internal Revenue Code,
and intends to maintain this qualification and to distribute substantially
all of its net taxable income to its shareholders. In any year when net
long-term capital gains are realized by the Trust, management, after
evaluating the prevailing economic conditions, will recommend to the
Trustees either to designate the net realized long-term gains as
undistributed and to pay the federal capital gains taxes thereon or to
distribute such net gains.
3. Management Fee
Under an investment services contract, MassMutual has agreed to invest for
its general account concurrently with the Trust in each restricted security
purchased by the Trust. MassMutual, in addition to originating and sharing
in the purchase of such securities, represents the Trust in any
negotiations with issuers, investment banking firms, securities brokers or
dealers and other institutions or investors relating to the Trust's
investments. MassMutual provides a continuing review of the investment
operations of the Trust. MassMutual also provides the Trust with office
space and office equipment, accounting and bookkeeping services, and
necessary executive, clerical and secretarial personnel for the performance
of the foregoing services.
Under the investment services contract, as amended July 1, 1988, the Trust
pays MassMutual a quarterly base rate (the "Base Fee Rate") of 5/16 of 1%
of the value of the Trust's net assets as of the end of each fiscal
quarter, approximately equivalent to 1.25% of the net asset value of the
Trust on an annual basis, plus or minus a quarterly performance adjustment
(the "Performance Adjustment") of up to 1/16 of 1%, approximately
equivalent to .25% on an annual basis.
The Performance Adjustment is based on the Trust's performance as compared
to a benchmark rate of return (the "Target Rate") equal to 5.0 percentage
points plus an unweighted, arithmetic average of the rates of return on the
Standard & Poor's Industrial Stock Price Index and the Lehman Brothers
Intermediate Corporate Bond Index over a rolling three-year period (the
"Measurement Period") comprising the twelve quarters ending on the last day
of each quarter (the "Valuation Date"). The Performance Adjustment is equal
to 5% of the difference between the Trust's actual rate of return over the
Measurement Period and the Target Rate. If the Trust's actual rate of
return exceeds the Target Rate, the Base Fee Rate is increased by an amount
equal to the Performance Adjustment; if the Trust's actual rate of return
is less than the Target Rate, the Base Fee Rate is reduced by the
Performance Adjustment. The advisory fee payable by the Trust is equal to
the Base Fee Rate (as adjusted by the Performance Adjustment) times the net
asset value of the Trust as of the Valuation Date. The Performance
Adjustment for the quarter ended June 30, 1997 was plus .0625%.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
4. Note Payable
On November 5, 1993, the Trust sold to MassMutual at par a $20,000,000
Senior Fixed Rate Convertible Note due November 15, 2000 (the "Note") which
accrues at 5.33% per annum. The Note holder, at its option, can convert the
principal amount of the Note into common shares. The dollar amount of
principal would be converted into an equivalent dollar amount of common
shares based upon the average price of the common shares for ten business
days prior to the notice of conversion.
