The
Fund
|
MML Equity
Index Fund (the Fund) is a non-diversified series of the MML
Series Investment fund (MML Trust). The MML Trust is
registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the
1940 Act), as a no-load, registered open-end, management
investment company. The MML Trust, which has eight separate series of
shares, is organized under the laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts
as a Massachusetts business trust pursuant to an Agreement and
Declaration of Trust dated May 28, 1993, as amended. On May 1, 1997, the
Fund commenced operations.
|
The MML Trust
was established by Massachusetts Mutual Life Insurance Company (
MassMutual) for the purpose of providing vehicles for the
investment assets of various separate investment accounts established by
MassMutual and by life insurance companies who are subsidiaries of
MassMutual. Shares of the MML Trust are not offered to the general
public.

Significant Accounting Policies
|
The following
is a summary of significant accounting policies followed consistently by
the Fund in the preparation of the financial statement in conformity
with generally accepted accounting principles. The preparation of the
financial statement 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.
|
Equity
securities are valued on the basis of valuations furnished by a pricing
service, authorized by the Board of Trustees (Trustees),
which provides the last reported sale price for securities listed on a
national securities exchange or on the NASDAQ National Market System, or
in the case of over-the-counter securities not so listed, the last
reported bid price. 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. Future contracts are valued based on
market prices unless such prices do not reflect fair value of the
contract, in which case they will be valued by or under the direction of
the Board.
|
Portfolio
securities traded on more than one national securities exchange are
valued at the last price on the business day as of which such value is
being determined at the close of the exchange representing the principal
market for such securities.
|
The Fund may
lend its securities to qualified brokers. The Funds loans of
portfolio securities can not exceed 33% of its total assets taken at
current value. As with other extensions of credit, the Fund 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 Fund
receives compensation for lending its securities. At December 31, 1999,
the Fund did not have any loaned securities.
|
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 on the specific identification
cost method. Interest income is recorded on the accrual basis. Dividend
income is recorded on the ex-dividend date.
|
It is the Fund
s intent to continue to comply with the provisions of subchapter M
of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the Code),
applicable to a regulated investment company. Under such provisions, the
Fund will 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, no
Federal income tax provision is required.
|
Dividends from
net investment income and distributions of any net realized capital
gains of the 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. These differences are primarily
due to investments in forward contracts, passive foreign investment
companies and the deferral of wash sale losses. As a result, net
investment income and net realized gains on investment transactions for
a reporting period may differ significantly from distributions during
such period. Accordingly, the Fund may periodically make
reclassifications among certain of its capital accounts without
impacting the net asset value of the Fund. Current years
reclassifications were $1,333.
|
The books and
records of the Fund 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. dollars last quoted by any major bank at the end of each business
day. If such quotations are not available, the rate of exchange will be
determined in accordance with policies established by the Trustees.
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 Fund does 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 price 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 dividend recorded
on the books of the Fund and the amount actually received.
|
The Fund may
purchase or sell securities on a when issued or delayed
delivery or on a forward commitment basis. The Fund uses forward
commitments to manage interest rate exposure or as a temporary
substitute for purchasing or selling particular debt securities.
Delivery and payment for securities purchased on a forward commitment
basis can take place a month or more after the date of the transaction.
The Fund instructs the custodian to segregate 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 repurchase 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
Fund records on a daily basis the unrealized appreciation/depreciation
based upon changes in the value of the forward commitment. When a
forward commitment 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 of the contract at the time it was
extinguished. Forward commitments involve a risk of loss if the value of
the security to be purchased declines prior to the settlement date. The
Fund could also be exposed to loss if they cannot close out its forward
commitments because of an illiquid secondary market, or the inability of
counterparties to perform. The Fund monitors exposure to ensure
counterparties are creditworthy and concentration of exposure is
minimized. At December 31, 1999, the Fund had no open forward
commitments.
|
The Fund may
purchase or sell financial futures contracts and options on such futures
contracts for the purpose of hedging the market risk on existing
securities or the intended purchase of securities. Futures contracts are
contracts for delayed delivery of securities at a specific future date
and at a specific price or yield. Upon entering into a contract, the
Fund deposits and maintains as collateral such initial margin as
required by the exchange on which the transaction is effected. Pursuant
to the contract, the Fund agrees to receive from or pay to the broker an
amount of cash equal to the daily fluctuation in value of the contract.
Such receipts or payments are known as variation margin and are recorded
by the Fund as unrealized gains or losses. When the 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.

Management Fees and Other Transactions with
Affiliates
|
MassMutual
serves as investment adviser to the Fund and provides administrative
services needed by the Fund. For acting as such, MassMutual receives a
quarterly fee from the Fund at the annual rate of 0.40% of the first
$100,000,000, 0.38% of the next $150,000,000, and 0.36% of any excess
over $250,000,000 of the average daily net asset value of the Fund.
MassMutual also provides administrative services to the Fund pursuant to
the investment management agreement.
|
MassMutual has
entered into an investment sub-advisory agreement with Mellon Equity
Associates (Mellon Equity), pursuant to which Mellon Equity
serves as the Funds sub-adviser. The agreement provides that
Mellon Equity provide investment sub-advisory services with respect to
the assets of the Fund. MassMutual pays Mellon Equity a monthly fee
equal to an annual rate of 0.09% of the first $100,000,000, 0.07% of the
next $150,000,000, and 0.05% of any net assets over $250,000,000 of the
average daily net asset value of the Fund.

Certain
officers and trustees of the Trust are also officers of MassMutual. The
compensation of unaffiliated directors of the Trust is borne by the
Fund.

|
Foreign Securities
|
The Fund
may also invest in foreign securities, subject to certain
percentage restrictions. Investing in securities of foreign
companies and foreign governments involves special risks and
considerations not typically associated with investing in
securities issued by U.S. companies and the U.S. Government. These
risks include revaluation of currencies and future adverse
political and economic developments. Moreover, securities of many
foreign companies and foreign governments and their markets may be
less liquid and their prices more volatile than those of
securities issued by comparable U.S. companies and the U.S.
Government.

Change in Independent Accountants
|
The MML
Trusts Board of Trustees dismissed PricewaterhouseCoopers
LLP (PwC) as its principal accountant, effective July
22, 1999. The Trusts Audit Committee had earlier recommended
engaging Deloitte & Touche LLP as the principal accountant to
audit the Funds financial statements for fiscal year 1999.
The Board of Trustees had earlier approved the appointment of
Deloitte & Touche LLP at a special meeting held on March 26,
1999.
|
For
fiscal years 1997 and 1998, and during the period prior to PwC
s resignation, the Trust and PwC did not have any
disagreements on any matter of accounting principles or practices,
financial statement disclosures, or auditing scope or procedure,
that either (1) have not been resolved to PwCs satisfaction
and or (2) if not resolved to PwCs satisfaction, would have
caused it to make a reference to the subject matter of the
disagreement in connection with its report. Moreover, PwCs
report on the Funds financial statements for the fiscal
years 1997 and 1998 did not contain an adverse opinion or a
disclaimer of opinion, and was not qualified or modified as to
uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles.

|
Investment Risk and Consideration
|
Since the
Fund is non-diversified and a relatively high percentage of the
Funds assets may be invested in the securities of a limited
number of issuers, some of which may be in the same economic
sector, the Funds portfolio may be more sensitive to changes
in market value of a single issuer or industry.
