MML Series Investment Fund
To Our Shareholders
Economic Strength Continues
Over seven and a half years into the current expansion and the factors that have
been critical in shaping economic behavior - a broad-based expansion free of
major excesses, low inflation, a Federal budget deficit that has been falling,
now down to $50-$60 billion, and a Federal Reserve that is sensitive to
potential price pressures but not given to aggressiveness are still in place.
In the first half of 1997, consumption drove economic gains, with solid support
from private investment. Employment continued to grow, as did personal income,
and consumer confidence reached a long-time high. These factors allowed
businesses to build up inventories in the first quarter to meet consumer demand,
which in turn supported the consumer behavior.
With Little Concern About Inflation
Even with unemployment as low as it has been, there are few signs that inflation
is a concern. During the first half of the year, even while Chairman Greenspan
built a case for raising rates during several appearances before congressional
committees, the Federal Reserve made only one interest rate move - a quarter-
point tightening on March 25, 1997.
Domestic Stocks Surge
With a steady economy, lean, competitive and profitable corporations and
favorable monetary policy, the stock market soared to new heights. Both the Dow
Jones Industrial Average and the Standard & Poor's 500 set and then surpassed
records during the past six months. When you consider that the U.S. market has
effectively doubled over the past two and a half years, nightly reports of the
markets new records are almost old news.
Even while the major market indices have made news, it's only been recently that
the bullishness has broadened. Particularly during the first quarter, it was
predominately the very largest growth companies that were leading the market.
The `Nifty Fifty' largest U.S. companies' stocks pushed both index performance
and their own prices to new highs. In the second quarter, however, we began to
see investors once again include smaller company stocks and some previously out-
of-favor companies in their focus.
During the first half of this year, international stock markets have also done
well. Major markets in continental Europe, with the exception of the United
Kingdom, have been quite strong, benefiting from corporate belt-tightening and
favorable exchange rates. Japan has rebounded nicely, and Latin American
markets have performed well on rapid growth and political stability.
International index performance has lagged that reported by the domestic market
primarily because of difficulties in emerging Southeast Asian markets over the
period.
A Positive Environment for Bonds
The past six months have been positive for the debt markets as well, though
response to economic news has not been nearly as dramatic as stock market
reaction. The first quarter was somewhat difficult for most areas of the bond
market, due to uncertainty about interest rates and then the Federal Reserve's
March tightening. But in the second quarter, after expectations of further
tightening were not realized, rates began to drop and bonds recouped their
losses.
Some areas of the bond market have been very positive, particularly corporate
bonds, with performance that is tied to many of the factors supporting stocks.
Triple B-rated issues have also done well. Triple B bonds tend to have higher
yields than higher-rated bonds, and since income has been the major component of
bond total returns so far this year, they've been very strong.
Balancing Risk and Reward in a High Priced Market
At this time, there is nothing in the forecast to shake our view that economic
growth can continue throughout 1997. However, particularly in the case of
large-cap domestic stocks, there is risk associated with any market that's
enjoyed the terrific run ours has over the past several years. MassMutual's
investment philosophy is grounded in the belief that protecting capital against
downturns is just as important over the long term as is participating in the
advances of bull markets.
We look for value when we evaluate both stocks and bonds, seeking to avoid the
risk that follows buying a security that has reached or is nearing a peak high.
As a result, while we take advantage of the opportunities a fast-paced market
provides, we tend to be more cautious than some of our more growth-oriented
peers. Over the market's history, the benefits of this approach have been borne
out, and we expect that to continue in the future.

MML EQUITY
How has the Fund performed over the past six months?
Even though the Fund has a relatively conservative approach to the stock market,
the Fund participated considerably in the market's strong upswing. The
portfolio's total return for the six months ended June 30, 1997 is slightly
lower than that of the S&P 500, which we'd expect during a strong bull market.
Still, we've outperformed many of our value-oriented peers, and in six months
have already surpassed the historical average one-year return on stock
investments.
How would you characterize the equity market over the period?
This has been a market in which the largest stocks have performed best. The
fact that the largest companies in the major indices such as the S&P and the Dow
Jones Industrial Average have appreciated dramatically has skewed the indices'
returns, giving the impression that all stocks are doing remarkably well. This
market has basically doubled in the past two and a half years, and the economy
has been growing far longer than historical cyclical patterns. As a result,
investors have been willing to pay high prices to own the largest companies.
They're attracted by these firms' reliable, growing earnings and hope to be
protected from any weakness in future earnings should the economy change.
What investment decisions were most successful during the period?
As always, we've emphasized high quality companies selling at reasonable prices
compared to their earnings. In the past six months, we've been very pleased
that our two largest positions have been among our top performers. We've done
extremely well with our holdings in Bristol-Myers and GE - two strong companies
with excellent earnings that have been beneficiaries of the current market
psychology.
Even though the market has done very well over the first half of 1997, there was
a temporary dip after the Federal Reserve's interest rate increase at the end of
March. We used this as an opportunity to buy new stocks when they were selling
far from their recent highs. One example, Burlington Northern, a Fort Worth-
based railroad system, purchased the Santa Fe system and received favorable
investor response. However, expected cost reductions came more slowly than
expected, and weather problems hurt normally stable revenues. We saw Burlington
Northern as a major player in coal and grain haulage, and expected the stock was
poised for a rebound. We bought it and it has worked out very well for us so
far this year.
Are you making any changes to the portfolio at this time?
The portfolio is already well diversified, and we feel it is structured
appropriately to prosper in the future. On the margin, we have reduced our
health care holdings, since their performance has been so strong.
Two areas that were relatively weak so far in 1997 are telecommunications and
electric utility stocks. We're currently making a gradual increase to our
electric utility holdings. We believe selected electric stocks - those with low
operating costs, strong competitive positions and the ability to increase
dividend payments - offer good total return potential with relatively low risk.
What is your outlook for the next several months?
Because the economy continues to be strong, with none of the classic signs of a
slowdown on the horizon, our outlook is encouraging. Added to that is the fact
that corporate managements are making better business decisions now in terms of
focussing on their competitive advantages and placing great emphasis on
shareholder value.
Within this positive outlook, however, there is a risk that the Federal Reserve
will make another upward adjustment to interest rates. This market, while
incredibly strong over the past several years, is very sensitive to interest
rates, as we saw in March. That's why we believe a strategy like ours, with a
value focus that can limit price risk, is an intelligent way to approach the
stock market in any environment.
MML MONEY MARKET FUND
How did the Fund perform over the past six months?
The Fund continues to perform well, reporting returns that are superior to
Lipper Analytical's average for money market funds.
What have been the most significant events in your market over the past six
months and how was the portfolio positioned for them?
Short-term interest rates are impacted by the changes in the nation's monetary
policy. The Federal Reserve raised interest rates only once during the first
six months of the year. A twenty-five basis point increase in the Federal Funds
rate occurred in March. This rise in rates was prompted by the length of the
economic expansion and the record highs reached by the stock market.
3
<PAGE>
The shorter the average life a portfolio has the faster its instruments can be
replaced with higher yielding investments. Prior to the Federal Reserve's
policy meeting in March, the MML Money Market's average life was shorter than a
universe of our peers. This factor gave the Fund an advantage in quickly
replacing maturing issues with higher yielding issues.
The second major impact on our market during the first half of 1997 was a
default on $500 million of Tier one commercial paper issued by Mercury Finance.
Because it was highly rated, all money market funds were permitted to own the
issue, and many did. We never rely solely on rating services' evaluations of
securities when making purchases. We conduct proprietary research into all of
the securities we buy, and monitor them for any changes on a daily basis. Our
own analysis of Mercury kept us from investing in the commercial paper offering,
and that protected us when Mercury defaulted.
Are you making any changes to the portfolio at this time?
Not really. We're planning to keep the average life of our portfolio closely in
line with that of our benchmark.
What is your outlook for the coming months at this time?
The economy remains strong, with little evidence to suggest inflation is on the
rise. As a result, we believe the Federal Reserve is keeping any movement in
rates on hold for the time being. We've very recently seen rates on short-term
securities drop slightly as the market has begun to share this belief. Until
news on the economic forecast changes significantly, we will continue with our
current strategy - working to capture the highest yields available without
increasing exposure to risk.
MML MANAGED BOND FUND
How did the Fund perform over the past six months?
The Fund has turned in a very solid performance for the first half of 1997,
outpacing its benchmark, the Lehman Government/Corporate index and many of its
peers. We're also pleased to have seen a substantial increase in assets under
management during the first six months of the year.
What was the most significant event in your market during that time?
Although the market experienced a mild correction as a result of the Federal
Reserve's March interest rate increase, interest rates have remained within a
very tight band. In this environment, where overall price volatility has
decreased, we've done well by investing in securities that can provide a yield
advantage over Treasuries.
What investment decisions were most successful over the period?
We were very well positioned for the first half of the year, and outperformed
our index and our peers for several reasons. Again, our primary advantage came
from owning securities that offered a generous yield spread over Treasuries. In
a tight trading range market, you can not expect much of a portfolio's total
return to come from price appreciation. That makes any extra income you can
garner a real benefit.
During the first half of 1997, mortgage-backed securities, approximately 22.8
percent of the portfolio, performed very well for us for just that reason.
Mortgage-backed securities have higher yields and also tend to outperform other
fixed income products when interest rates are relatively unchanging. This
characteristic made them an excellent asset class to own during the full period.
Another asset class with spread advantages over Treasuries was corporate bonds.
By June 30, our allocation to corporate bonds was increased from 54.8 percent of
the portfolio at the beginning of the year to 59.3 percent. Due to the strength
of both the economy and the stock market as well as the financial health of
corporate America, we felt confident enough to move some of our assets into the
lower quality areas of the investment grade corporate bond market. Our
increased exposure to corporate bonds in general coupled with a thoroughly-
researched move toward higher-yielding bonds provided a significant boost to
performance.
Are you making any changes to the portfolio at this time?
We're very comfortable with our sector allocations as they are now, and do not
plan on making any significant changes in the near future. We believe the
portfolio's existing positioning, with a focus on the areas of the market that
offer advantageous yields, will continue to benefit us as the year proceeds. In
addition to a consistent sector allocation, we plan to keep our duration - which
represents the portfolio's sensitivity to changes in interest rates - close to
that of the Lehman Brother's Government/Corporate Bond Index.
What is your outlook for the coming months?
In our opinion, the normal trade-off between strong economic growth or low
inflation is not happening. Though the domestic economy is in the seventh year
of its current expansion, there are many reasons to believe its strength will
continue. Inflation is at a 34-year low, consumer confidence has reached a 28-
year high, the budget deficit is at a 16-year low, and in the three meetings of
the Federal Reserve's Open Market Committee during the first half of the year,
rates were only increased once.

<PAGE>
We believe these factors suggest a continued favorable environment for a Fund
like ours where we are focusing on the generation of return from income.
MML BLEND FUND
How did the Fund perform over the past six months?
The Fund has done very well, both in absolute terms and relative to the average
for balanced funds. Our combination of the benefits of strong stock selection
during a very bullish market and a timely bond strategy allowed us to come close
to matching in six months our performance for the entire year of 1996.
What types of stocks worked well for you during the period?
This has been a market in which the largest stocks have performed best. Since
the market has basically doubled in the past two and a half years, and the
economy has been growing far longer than expected, investors have been willing
to pay high prices to own the largest companies. They're attracted by these
firms' reliable, growing earnings and hope to be protected from any weakness in
future earnings should the economy change.
We take a relatively conservative approach to the market, emphasizing high
quality companies selling at relatively low prices compared to their earnings.
This generally keeps us from chasing the large growth companies that have pushed
the major indices to new highs so far this year. Even so, two such companies
were both our two largest positions and our top two performers during the
period. We've done extremely well with our holdings in Bristol-Myers and GE -
each a high growth company with excellent earnings and a beneficiary of the
current market psychology.
We also added some strong stocks during the temporary decline that followed the
Federal Reserve's interest rate increase at the end of March. One such stock,
Burlington Northern, a Fort Worth-based railroad system, purchased the Santa Fe
system and received favorable investor response. However, expected cost
reductions came more slowly than expected, and weather problems hurt normally
stable revenues. We saw Burlington Northern as a major player in coal and grain
haulage, and expected the stock was poised for a rebound. We bought it and it
has worked out very well for us so far this year.
How was your bond portfolio positioned?
Our bond portfolio was very well-positioned for the trading range market that
defined the first half of the year. Our strategy over the period was to look
for securities that offered a generous yield spread over Treasuries. Mortgage-
backed securities, approximately 19 percent of the bond portfolio, performed
very well for us. They offer higher yields than Treasuries and tend to
outperform other fixed income products when interest rates are increasing. This
characteristic made them an excellent asset class to own during the full period,
and especially after the Federal Reserve's tightening at the end of the first
quarter.
Are you making any changes to either your portfolio holdings or allocations at
this time?
Nothing significant other than keeping vigilant for any new opportunities in
both stocks and bonds. In terms of our asset allocation, while we review it
weekly, we see nothing on the horizon to suggest the need to alter it at this
time. Our current allocation, 61 percent stocks, 19.6 percent bonds and 19.4
percent cash and short-term securities is slightly more aggressive than what
we'd originally set as a target. This is because we've allowed our stock
position to grow on the strength of the market. A higher allocation to stocks
has helped performance so far this year, and we're still quite comfortable with
it.
What is your outlook for the next several months?
Because the economy continues to be strong, with none of the classic signs of
either a slowdown or an increase in inflation on the horizon, our outlook
remains very favorable for both the stock and bond markets. In this environment,
and especially with stocks at their current record highs, we believe a
relatively conservative balanced fund like this one makes sense as a way to both
capture gains and limit risk.

MML SERIES INVESTMENT FUND
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. HISTORY
MML Series Investment Fund (the "MML Trust") is registered under the Investment
Company Act of 1940 as a no-load, registered open end, diversified management
investment company. MML Equity Fund, MML Money Market Fund, MML Managed Bond
Fund and MML Blend Fund (the "Funds") are four series of shares of the MML
Trust. The MML Trust is organized as a business trust under the laws of the
Commonwealth of Massachusetts pursuant to an Agreement and Declaration of Trust.
The MML Trust was established by Massachusetts Mutual Life Insurance Company
("MassMutual") for the purpose of providing vehicles for the investment of
assets of various separate investment accounts established by MassMutual and by
life insurance companies which are subsidiaries of MassMutual. Shares of the MML
Trust are not offered to the general public.
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 generally accepted accounting principles.
A. Investment Valuation
Equity securities are valued on the basis of valuations furnished by a
pricing service, authorized by the Board of Trustees, which provides the last
reported sale price for securities listed on a national securities exchange,
or on the NASDAQ national market system. If securities are unlisted, or there
is no reported sale price, the bid price of the prior trade date will be
used. Long-term bonds are valued on the basis of valuations furnished by a
pricing service, authorized by the Board of 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.
For MML Equity Fund, MML Managed Bond Fund, and MML Blend Fund, short-term
securities with more than sixty days to maturity from the date of purchase
are valued at market and short-term securities having a maturity from the
date of purchase of sixty days or less are valued at amortized cost. MML
Money Market Fund's portfolio securities are valued at amortized cost in
accordance with a rule of the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to
which MML Money Market Fund must adhere to certain conditions. It is the
intention of MML Money Market Fund to maintain a per share net asset value of
$1.00.
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. Premiums and discounts on short-term securities are amortized in
determining interest income.
The cost basis of long-term bonds is not adjusted for amortization of premium
or accrual of discount since MML Managed Bond Fund and MML Blend Fund do not
generally intend to hold such investments until maturity; however, the MML
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.
C. Federal Income Tax
The MML Trust has established a policy for each of the Funds to comply with
the provisions of the Internal Revenue Code applicable to regulated
investment companies. As a result, the Funds will not be subject to federal
income tax on any net investment income and any net capital gains to the
extent they are distributed or are deemed to have been distributed to
shareholders. Distributions are determined in accordance with income tax
regulations which may differ from generally accepted accounting principles.
These differences are primarily due to the deferral of wash sale losses, and
paydowns on certain mortgage-backed securities. As a result, net investment
income (loss) and net realized gain (loss) on investment transactions for a
reporting period may differ significantly from distributions during such
period. Accordingly, the Funds may periodically make reclassifications among
certain of their capital accounts without impacting the net asset value of
the Funds.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
D. Forward Commitments
Each Fund may purchase or sell securities on a "when issued" or delayed
delivery or on a forward commitment basis. The Funds use forward commitments
to manage interest rate exposure or as a temporary substitute for purchasing
or selling particular debt securities. The Funds may also use forward
commitments to take delivery of the underlying security rather than closing
out the forward contract. Forward commitments are not used for purposes of
trading. Settlement for securities purchased on a forward commitment basis
can take place a month or more after the date of the transaction. The Fund
generally does not take delivery on these forward commitments, but such
commitments are instead settled with offsetting transactions. When a forward
commitment contract is closed, the Funds record a realized gain or loss.
Forward commitments involve a risk of loss if the value of the security to be
purchased declines prior to the settlement date. The Funds could also be
exposed to loss if they cannot close out their forward commitments because of
an illiquid secondary market, or the inability of counterparties to perform.
The Fund monitors exposure to ensure counterparties are credit worthy and
concentration of exposure is minimized. The Funds instruct the custodian to
segregate liquid high quality assets in a separate account with a current
market value at least equal to the amount of its forward purchase
commitments. The price of the underlying security and the date when the
securities will be delivered and paid for are fixed at the time the
transaction is negotiated. The value of the forward commitment is determined
by management using a commonly accepted pricing model and fluctuates based
upon changes in the value of the underlying security and market repo rates.
Such rates equate the counterparty's cost to purchase and finance the
underlying security to the earnings received on the security and forward
delivery proceeds. The Funds record on a daily basis the unrealized
appreciation/depreciation based upon changes in the value of the forward
commitment. At June 30, 1997, the cost (value) of forward commitments to
purchase securities amounted to $4,978,906 ($4,966,150) for the MML Blend
Fund.
E. 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.
3. CAPITAL LOSS CARRYFORWARD
The accumulated net realized loss on investments for the MML Money Market Fund
results in a capital loss carryforward of $9,702 which is available for federal
income tax purposes to offset future capital gains. Of the total carryforward,
$453 expires December 31, 1997, $1,639 expires December 31, 1998, $1,204 expires
December 31, 2000, $201 expires December 31, 2001, $5,364 expires December 31,
2002 and $841 expires December 31, 2003.
The accumulated net realized loss on investments for the MML Managed Bond Fund
results in a capital loss carryforward of $1,163,656 which is available for
federal income tax purposes to offset future capital gains. Of the total
carryforward, $840,829 expires December 31, 2002 and $322,826 expires
December 31, 2004.
4. INVESTMENT MANAGEMENT FEE
MassMutual provides all investment advisory, management and administrative
services needed by the Funds. For acting as such, MassMutual receives a
quarterly fee from each Fund at the annual rate of .50% of the first
$100,000,000 of the average daily net asset value of each Fund, .45% of the next
$200,000,000, .40% of the next $200,000,000, and .35% of any excess over
$500,000,000.
MassMutual has entered into investment sub-advisory agreements with David L.
Babson and Company, Inc. ("Babson"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of DLB
Acquisition Corporation which is a controlled subsidiary of MassMutual. The
agreements provide that Babson manage the assets of MML Equity Fund and the
assets of the Equity Sector of the MML Blend Fund. MassMutual pays Babson a
quarterly fee equal to an annual rate of .13% of the average daily net asset
value of MML Equity Fund and the Equity Sector of MML Blend Fund.
MassMutual has agreed, at least through April 30, 1998, to bear the expenses of
the Funds to the extent that the aggregate expenses (excluding each Fund's
management fee, interest, taxes, brokerage commissions and extraordinary
expenses) incurred during each Fund's fiscal year exceed .11% of the average
daily net asset value of each Fund for such year. For the period ended
June 30, 1997, MassMutual was not required to reimburse the Funds for any
expenses.
