NOT FDIC INSURED MAY LOSE VALUE NO BANK GUARANTEE MassMutual Equity Opportunities Fund* Quarterly Portfolio Commentary: The Russell 1000 Index® ended the second quarter up 8.54%. The Index garnered positive results across all economic sectors except utilities as equity markets advanced, hoisted by optimism from the Covid-19 vaccine dissemination and the reopening of businesses. With only five of the 11 economic sectors beating the Index, performance within the Index was broad based with most industries (nearly 90%) providing positive contributions to the Index’s overall results. The strongest performing sectors included real estate, energy, and information technology – with the latter the largest contributor to results. The energy sector, which was the strongest sector for the past two quarters, fell to the second strongest advancing nearly 12% in the second quarter. Its contribution was muted, however, given its low weight in the Index. Information technology, which represents a significant weight in the Index, nearly double the next biggest allocation, posted strong results relative to the Russell 1000 Value Index. The Core Index responded less favorably versus its value counterpart during the first part of 2021, but with a drop in interest rates (29 basis point) to end the second quarter in the 10-yr Treasury, the most prominent sector – information technology, defined by allocation weight, and communication services, healthcare, and consumer discretionary responded favorable with strong contributions to results. The Fund posted good absolute results yet trailed the Russell 1000® Index due to defensive positioning with significant allocation in the consumer staples sector. Performance trailed the peer group ranking below median. Like the Index, the Fund experienced positive results in ten of the 11 economic sectors, with the real estate and information technology sectors having the strongest absolute performance and financials having the greatest contribution impact. Allocation decisions and stock decisions were negative. Sector allocation was a hindrance mostly due to an overweight to the consumer staples sector and an underweight to the information technology sector. These weightings are process driven as management prefers high-quality franchise businesses with recurring revenues, pricing power, and low capital intensity. Consumer staple stocks held up better during the pandemic onset, but the following months favored technology stocks which posted a nearly 12% return. The Fund also benefited from an overweight to the real estate and the financials sectors, benefactors of economic growth expectations despite declining interest rates. Stock selection decisions hampered Fund performance predominantly due to positions not held within the health care sector. The Fund lacked exposure to the strongest performing industry – life science tools and services, which posted a 15.5% return. The lack of exposure is not surprising given the developmental nature of the companies that comprise this industry. Management did not own some of the leading performers that comprise pharma and equipment & supplies such as Reata Pharmacy and Novocure which returned nearly 42% and 68% respectively. Exposure to managed care companies - United Health, CVS, and Anthem in the Fund were positive contributors and relative outperformers to the Index. The Fund maintains large allocations to the consumer staples and health care sectors which are comprised of many stable businesses and which characterize management’s defensive posture. The Fund ended the quarter with an overweight allocation to the consumer staples and financials sectors and with an underweight allocation to the information technology and communication services.
