C000031715 Investment Objective and Strategy
MML Blue Chip Growth Fund describes its objective and strategy as follows, from its latest prospectus filed with the SEC by MML Series Investment Fund.
Investment objective
This Fund seeks long-term capital growth.
Principal investment strategy
Principal Investment Strategies Under normal circumstances, the Fund invests at least 80% of net assets (plus the amount of any borrowings for investment purposes) in the common stocks of large- and medium-sized blue chip growth companies. The Funds subadviser, T. Rowe Price Associates, Inc. (T. Rowe Price), currently defines blue chip growth companies to mean firms that, in its view, are well-established in their industries and have the potential for above-average earnings growth. Equity securities may include common stocks, preferred stocks, securities convertible into common or preferred stock, rights, and warrants. While most assets will be invested in equity securities of U.S. companies, the Fund may also invest up to 20% of its total assets in foreign securities and American Depositary Receipts (ADRs), including emerging market securities.
The Fund may at times have significant exposure to one or more industries or sectors. The Fund may hold a portion of its assets in cash or cash equivalents. The Fund is non-diversified, which means that it may hold larger positions in a smaller number of issuers than a diversified fund. In selecting securities, T. Rowe Price generally seeks to identify companies with a leading market position, seasoned management, and strong financial fundamentals. T. Rowe Price believes that solid company fundamentals (with emphasis on the potential for above-average growth) combined with a positive industry outlook will result in a higher stock price. It is anticipated that some of the companies targeted will have good prospects for dividend growth and T. Rowe Price may at times invest significantly in stocks of information technology companies.
In pursuing the Funds investment objective, ?T. Rowe Price has the discretion to purchase some securities that do not meet its normal investment criteria described above, when it believes there is an opportunity for substantial appreciation (such as, for example, T. Rowe Price believes a security could increase in value as a result of a change in management, an extraordinary corporate event, a new product introduction or innovation, or a favorable competitive development). T. Rowe Price may sell assets for a variety of reasons, including in response to a change in the original investment considerations or to limit losses, adjust the characteristics of the overall portfolio, or redeploy assets into different opportunities.
