MMQSX Investment Objective and Strategy
MassMutual Small Cap Value Equity Fund describes its objective and strategy as follows, from its latest prospectus filed with the SEC by Massmutual Select Funds.
Investment objective
This Fund seeks to maximize total return through investment primarily in small capitalization equity securities.
Principal investment strategy
"The Fund invests primarily in common stocks of small-capitalization companies that the Fund's subadvisers believe are undervalued. Under normal circumstances, the Fund invests at least 80% of its net assets (plus the amount of any borrowings for investment purposes) in equity 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 December 31, 2017, between $4 million and $9.37 billion). Equity securities may include common stocks, preferred stock, rights, and warrants. The Fund typically invests most of its assets in U.S. companies, but 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 two subadvisers, Wellington Management Company LLP (""Wellington Management"") and Barrow, Hanley, Mewhinney & Strauss, LLC. (""Barrow Hanley""), each being responsible for a portion of the portfolio, but not necessarily equally weighted. Each subadviser employs a value-based investment approach and may perform a number of analyses in considering whether to buy or sell a security for the Fund. In selecting investments for the Fund, Wellington Management generally employs a bottom-up stock selection process that utilizes proprietary, fundamental research to identify companies it considers to be undervalued and to have the potential for significant longer-term returns. In selecting securities for the Fund, Barrow Hanley typically seeks to exploit market inefficiencies by using proprietary research to identify small capitalization companies that it considers to be undervalued and to have the potential to generate superior returns while subjecting the Fund to below average levels of risk.
Each subadviser may consider selling a stock for the Fund if, in its judgment, the security has reached its target price, has failed to perform as expected, or other opportunities appear more attractive."
