MKRZX Investment Objective and Strategy
MM MSCI EAFE International Index Fund describes its objective and strategy as follows, from its latest prospectus filed with the SEC by Massmutual Select Funds.
Investment objective
The Fund seeks to provide investment results approximating (before fees and expenses) the aggregate price and dividend performance of the securities included in the MSCI EAFE Index*. * The Fund is not sponsored, endorsed, sold, or promoted by MSCI Inc. (?MSCI?), any of its affiliates, any of its information providers, or any other third party involved in, or related to, compiling, computing, or creating any MSCI index (collectively, the ?MSCI Parties?). The MSCI indexes are the exclusive property of MSCI. MSCI and the MSCI index names are service mark(s) of MSCI or its affiliates and have been licensed for use for certain purposes by MML Advisers. None of the MSCI Parties makes any representation or warranty, express or implied, to the issuer or owners of the Fund or any other person or entity regarding the advisability of investing in funds generally or in the Fund particularly or the ability of any MSCI index to track corresponding stock market performance.
Principal investment strategy
Under normal circumstances, the Fund invests at least 80% (and, typically, substantially all) of its net assets (plus the amount of any borrowings for investment purposes) in the equity securities of companies included in the MSCI EAFE Index (Index), in weightings that approximate the relative composition of the securities contained in the Index, and in MSCI EAFE Index futures contracts. The Index is a widely recognized, unmanaged index representative of equity securities in developed markets, excluding the U.S. and Canada. As of December 31, 2017, the market capitalization range of companies included in the Index was $2.42 billion to $281.31 billion, and the Index consisted of the following 21 developed market country indices: Australia, Austria, Belgium, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Hong Kong, Ireland, Israel, Italy, Japan, the Netherlands, New Zealand, Norway, Portugal, Singapore, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, and the United Kingdom.
If the securities represented in the Index were to become concentrated in any particular industry, the Funds investments would likewise be concentrated in securities of issuers in that industry; the Index is not currently concentrated in any single industry. The Fund is passively managed, which means it tries to duplicate the investment composition and performance of the Index by using computer programs and statistical procedures. The Funds subadviser, Northern Trust Investments, Inc. (NTI), will buy and sell securities in response to changes in the Index. The Fund may use Index futures contracts, a type of derivative, to gain exposure to the Index in lieu of investing in cash, or to reduce its exposure to the Index while it sells the securities in its portfolio. Use of Index futures contracts by the Fund may create investment leverage.
Because the Fund, unlike the Index, is subject to fees and transaction expenses, the Funds returns are likely to be less than those of the Index. Because the proportion of assets allocated to each country will approximate the relative country weights in the Index, more than 25% of the Funds assets may be invested in a single country (such as the United Kingdom and Japan). This may make the Funds performance more dependent upon the performance of a single country than if the Fund allocated its assets among issuers in a larger number of countries. NTI expects that, under normal circumstances, the annual performance of the Fund, before fees and expenses, will track the performance of the Index within a 0.95 correlation coefficient.
