Example
This example is intended to help you compare the cost of investing in the Fund with the cost of investing in other mutual funds. It assumes that you invest
$10,000 in each share class of the Fund for the time periods indicated and then redeem all of your shares at the end of those periods. For Class A shares, the example includes the initial sales charge. The example also assumes that your
investment earns a 5% return each year and that the Funds operating expenses are exactly as described in the preceding table. Although
S-1
your actual costs may be higher or lower, based on these assumptions your costs would be:

Portfolio Turnover
The
Fund pays transaction costs, such as commissions, when it buys and sells securities (or turns over its portfolio). A higher portfolio turnover rate may indicate higher transaction costs and may result in higher taxes when Fund shares are
held in a taxable account. These costs, which are not reflected in annual fund operating expenses or in the example, affect the Funds performance. During the most recent fiscal year, the Funds portfolio turnover rate was 97% of the
average value of its portfolio.
INVESTMENTS, RISKS, AND PERFORMANCE
Principal Investment Strategies
The Fund invests
primarily in equity securities of smaller companies that the subadvisers believe offer potential for long-term growth. Under normal circumstances, the Fund invests at least 80% of its net assets in the securities of companies whose market
capitalizations at the time of purchase are within the market capitalization range of companies included in the Russell 2000
®
Index or the S&P SmallCap 600 Index (as of
January 31, 2014, between $4 million and $5.95 billion). Equity securities may include common stocks, preferred stocks, securities convertible into common or preferred stock, rights, and warrants. While most assets typically will be invested in
common stocks of U.S. companies, the Fund also may invest up to 20% of its total assets in foreign securities, including emerging market securities. The Fund may hold a portion of its assets in cash or cash equivalents.
The Fund is managed by three subadvisers,
Wellington Management Company, LLP
(Wellington Management),
Waddell & Reed Investment
Management Company
(Waddell & Reed), and
Montibus Capital Management LLC
(Montibus), each being responsible for a portion of the portfolio, but not necessarily equally weighted. Each subadviser employs a
growth-based investment
approach and may perform a number of analyses in considering whether to buy or sell a security for the Fund. Each of the subadvisers uses a combination of fundamental and quantitative analyses to
identify
small-cap
companies that it believes are experiencing or will experience rapid earnings or revenue growth. A subadviser may consider selling a security for the Fund if, for example, in its judgment,
target prices are reached, future upside potential is limited, company fundamentals are no longer attractive, superior purchase candidates are identified, or market capitalization ceilings are exceeded.
Principal Risks
The following are the Principal Risks of
the Fund. You have the potential to make money by investing in the Fund, but you can also lose money.
Cash Position Risk
The ability of the
Fund to meet its objective may be limited to the extent that it holds assets in cash or otherwise uninvested.
Convertible Securities
Risk
Convertible securities are subject to the risks of both debt securities and equity securities. The values of convertible securities tend to decline as interest rates rise and, due to the conversion feature, tend to vary with
fluctuations in the market value of the underlying common or preferred stock.
Foreign Investment Risk; Emerging Markets Risk; Currency Risk
Foreign securities 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 the Funds 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. Investments in foreign currencies themselves (directly or through derivatives
transactions) may be highly volatile and may create investment leverage.
Growth Company Risk
The prices of growth securities are often more
sensitive to market fluctuations because of their heavy dependence on future earnings expectations, and can be more volatile than the market in general.
S-2
Liquidity Risk
Certain securities may be difficult (or impossible) to sell or positions difficult
to close out at a desirable time and price, and the Fund may be required to hold an investment that is declining in value or be prevented from realizing capital gains.
Management Risk
The Fund relies on the managers ability to achieve its investment objective. There can be no assurance that the Fund will
achieve the desired results and the Fund may incur significant losses.
Market Risk
The value of the Funds portfolio securities may
decline, at times sharply and unpredictably, as a result of unfavorable market-induced changes affecting particular industries, sectors, or issuers. Stock market prices in general may decline over short or extended periods, subjecting the Fund to
unpredictable declines in the value of its shares and poor performance. The Fund is subject to risks affecting issuers, such as management performance, financial leverage, industry problems, and reduced demand for goods or services.
Preferred Stock Risk
Preferred stocks are subject to the risks associated with other types of equity securities, as well as additional
risks, such as potentially greater volatility and risks related to deferral,
non-cumulative
dividends, subordination, liquidity, limited voting rights, and special redemption rights.
Smaller and
Mid-Cap
Company Risk
Market risk and liquidity risk are particularly pronounced for
securities of smaller companies, which may trade less frequently and in smaller volumes than more widely-held securities, and may fluctuate in price more than other securities. Smaller companies may have limited product lines, markets, or financial
resources and may be dependent on a limited management group; they may have been recently organized and have little or no track record of success.
Valuation Risk
The Fund is subject to the risk of mispricing or improper valuation of its investments, in particular to the extent that its
securities are fair valued.
Performance Information
The following bar chart and table provide some indication of the risks of investing in the Fund. The bar chart shows changes in the Funds performance
from year to year for Class R5 shares. The table shows how the Funds average annual returns for 1, 5, and 10 years (or 1 year and since inception for Class I shares)
compare with those of a broad measure of market performance and an additional index that provides a comparison for the Funds returns without regard to investment style (Russell 2000 Index).
Performance for Class R4 shares of the Fund for periods prior to its inception date (04/01/14) is based on the performance of Administrative Class shares, adjusted for Class R4 expenses. Performance for Class A shares of the Fund reflects any
applicable sales charge. Past performance (before and after taxes) is not necessarily an indication of how the Fund will perform in the future. More
up-to-date
performance information is available at http://www.massmutual.com/funds or by calling

After-tax returns are calculated using the historical highest individual federal marginal income tax rates and do not reflect
the impact of state and local taxes. Actual after-tax returns depend on an investors tax situation and may differ from those shown. After-tax returns are not relevant to investors who hold Fund shares through tax-deferred arrangements, such as
401(k) plans or individual retirement accounts. After-tax returns are shown for Class R5 only. After-tax returns for other classes will vary.
