Investment Objective and Policy
 
Form N-Q
     
MassMutual Corporate Investors (the “Trust”) is a closed-end management investment company, first offered to the public in 1971, whose shares are traded on the New York Stock Exchange under the trading symbol “MCI”. The Trust’s share price can be found in the financial section of most newspapers as “MassCp” or “MassMuInv” under either the New York Stock Exchange listings or Closed-End Fund Listings.
 
The Trust’s investment objective is to maintain a portfolio of securities providing a fixed yield and at the same time offering an opportunity for capital gains. The Trust’s principal investments are privately placed, below-investment grade, long-term debt obligations with equity features such as common stock, warrants, conversion rights, or other equity features and, occasionally, preferred stocks. The Trust typically purchases these investments, which are not publicly tradable, directly from their issuers in private placement transactions. These investments are typically mezzanine debt instruments with accompanying private equity securities made to small or middle market companies. In addition, the Trust may temporarily invest, subject to certain limitations, in marketable investment grade debt securities, other marketable debt securities (including high yield securities) and marketable common stocks. Below-investment grade or high yield securities have predominantly speculative characteristics with respect to the capacity of the issuer to pay interest and repay principal.
 
Babson Capital Management LLC (“Babson Capital”) manages the Trust on a total return basis. The Trust distributes substantially all of its net income to shareholders each year. Accordingly, the Trust pays dividends to shareholders in January, May, August, and November. The Trust pays dividends to its shareholders in cash, unless the shareholder elects to participate in the Dividend Reinvestment and Share Purchase Plan.
 
The Trust files its complete schedule of portfolio holdings with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) for the first and third quarters of each fiscal year on Form N-Q. This information is available (i) on the SEC’s website at http://www.sec.gov; and (ii) at the SEC’s Public Reference Room in Washington, DC (which information on their operation may be obtained by calling 1-800-SEC-0330). A complete schedule of portfolio holdings as of each quarter-end is available upon request by calling, toll-free, 866-399-1516.
 
Proxy Voting Policies & Procedures; Proxy Voting Record
 
The Trustees of the Trust have delegated proxy voting responsibilities relating to the voting of securities held by the Trust to Babson Capital. A description of Babson Capital’s proxy voting policies and procedures is available (1) without charge, upon request, by calling, toll-free 866-399-1516; (2) on the Trust’s website: http://www.babsoncapital.com/mci; and (3) on the SEC’s website at http://www.sec.gov. Information regarding how the Trust voted proxies relating to portfolio securities during the most recent 12-month period ended June 30 is available (1) on the Trust’s website: http://www.babsoncapital. com/mci; and (2) on the SEC’s website at http://www.sec.gov.
     
   
 
 
 

 
 
 TO OUR SHAREHOLDERS MassMutual Corporate Investors
 
October 31, 2011
 
We are pleased to present the September 30, 2011 Quarterly Report of MassMutual Corporate Investors (the “Trust”).
 
The Board of Trustees declared a quarterly dividend of 30 cents per share, payable on November 10, 2011 to shareholders of record on October 31, 2011. The Trust paid a 30 cent per share dividend for the preceding quarter. The Trust earned 32 cents per share of net investment income for the third quarter of 2011, compared to 37 cents per share in the previous quarter. The previous quarter’s earnings included approximately 7 cents per share of income due to nonrecurring items.
 
During the third quarter, the net assets of the Trust increased to $251,635,171 or $13.22 per share compared to $251,617,177 or $13.25 per share on June 30, 2011. This translates into a 2.1% total return for the quarter, based on the change in the Trust’s net assets assuming the reinvestment of all dividends. Longer term, the Trust returned 14.7%, 11.0%, 8.4%, 12.8%, and 13.4% for the 1-, 3-, 5-, 10-, and 25-year time periods, respectively, based on the change in the Trust’s net assets assuming the reinvestment of all dividends.
 
The Trust’s share price increased 5.1% during the quarter, from $16.17 per share as of June 30, 2011 to $17.00 per share as of September 30, 2011. The Trust’s market price of $17.00 per share equates to a 28.6% premium over the September 30, 2011 net asset value per share of $13.22. The Trust’s average quarter-end premium for the 3, 5 and 10-year periods was 9.2%, 11.6% and 10.1%, respectively. U.S. equity markets, as approximated by the Russell 2000 Index, decreased 21.8% for the quarter. U.S. fixed income markets, as approximated by the Barclays Capital U.S. Corporate High Yield Index, decreased 6.1% for the quarter.
 
The Trust closed four new private placement investments during the third quarter. The four new investments were in LPC Holding Company, Marshall Physician Services LLC, Merex Holding Corporation and Strata/WLA Holding Corporation. A brief description of these investments can be found in the Consolidated Schedule of Investments. The total amount invested by the Trust in these four transactions was $9,000,000.
 
Last quarter, I characterized middle market buyout activity as lackluster. Activity in the third quarter and thus far in the fourth quarter presents quite a contrast as our deal flow has been robust. Deal flow often fluctuates from quarter to quarter and it is usually hard to pinpoint the exact reasons why. That is certainly the case today. It does appear, though, that the deal supply/capital availability imbalance that I mentioned in prior quarters has come into better balance. After closing only two new platform investments in the first half of the year, it was a welcome change to close four new attractive platform investments this quarter. Subsequent to quarter-end, we have already closed two additional platform investments, and we have several more transactions in process. It looks like it will be a busy fourth quarter. Be assured, however, that despite the pickup in deal flow, we will continue to maintain the same investment discipline and philosophy that has served us well for many years.

Most of our portfolio companies once again reported improved operating results in the third quarter of 2011. Several more of our companies were also able to resume paying cash interest on their debt obligations due to their improved financial results and liquidity positions. We are pleased with the continued improving quality of the portfolio. Realization activity in the third quarter was limited, with just one portfolio company, Momentum Holding Company, sold. However, one additional company, Nesco Holding Corporation, was sold for a nice gain in the middle of October. We also continue to have a healthy backlog of companies that are in various stages of a sale process, so we expect realization activity to be strong for the next few quarters at least.
 
Thank you for your continued interest in and support of MassMutual Corporate Investors.
 
Sincerely,
 

Michael L. Klofas
President

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
MassMutual Corporate Investors
(Unaudited)
 
1.   History    
       
  MassMutual Corporate Investors (the “Trust”) commenced operations in 1971 as a Delaware corporation. Pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of Reorganization dated November 14, 1985, approved by shareholders, the Trust was reorganized as a Massachusetts business trust under the laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, effective November 28, 1985.

The Trust is a diversified closed-end management investment company. Babson Capital Management LLC (“Babson Capital”), a wholly-owned indirect subsidiary of Massachusetts Mutual Life Insurance Company (“MassMutual”), acts as its investment adviser. The Trust’s investment objective is to maintain a portfolio of securities providing a fixed yield and at the same time offering an opportunity for capital gains. The Trust’s principal investments are privately placed, below-investment grade, long-term debt obligations with equity features such as common stock, warrants, conversion rights, or other equity features and, occasionally, preferred stocks. The Trust typically purchases these investments, which are not publicly tradable, directly from their issuers in private placement transactions. These investments are typically mezzanine debt instruments with accompanying private equity securities made to small or middle market companies. In addition, the Trust may temporarily invest, subject to certain limitations, in marketable investment grade debt securities, other marketable debt securities (including high yield securities) and marketable common stocks. Below-investment grade or high yield securities have predominantly speculative characteristics with respect to the capacity of the issuer to pay interest and repay capital.

On January 27,1998, the Board of Trustees authorized the formation of a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Trust (“MMCI Subsidiary Trust”) for the purpose of holding certain investments. The results of MMCI Subsidiary Trust are consolidated in the accompanying financial statements. Footnote 2.D below discusses the Federal tax consequences of the MMCI Subsidiary Trust.
  Act of 1933, as amended (the “1933 Act”) or pursuant to a transaction that is exempt from registration under the 1933 Act. Restricted securities that are valued using public information, such as observable trades or market quotations, are reflected as restricted securities at market value. Valuation of securities in the Trust’s portfolio is made on the basis of the market price whenever market quotations are readily available.

The value of restricted securities at fair value, and of any other assets for which there are no reliable market quotations, is the fair value as determined in good faith by the Trust’s Board of Trustees (the “Trustees”). Each restricted security is valued by the Trustees at the time of its acquisition and at least quarterly thereafter. The Trustees have established guidelines to aid in the valuation of each security. Generally, restricted securities are initially valued at cost at the time of acquisition by the Trust. Values greater or less than cost are used thereafter for restricted securities in appropriate circumstances. Among the factors ordinarily considered in the valuation of debt and equity securities at fair value are the results of various valuation methods, which may include comparable company valuation analyses, discounted future cash flow models and recent private transactions. As part of the valuation process, we may take into account the following types of factors, if relevant, in determining the fair value of our investments: the enterprise value of a portfolio company (an estimate of the total fair value of the portfolio company’s debt and equity), the portfolio company’s earnings, the markets in which the portfolio company does business, a comparison of the portfolio company’s securities to publicly traded securities, changes in the interest rate environment and the credit markets generally that may affect the price at which similar investments may be made in the future and other relevant factors. Consideration is also given to corporate governance, marketability, company and industry results and outlooks, and general market conditions. The determination of fair value involves subjective judgments. As a result, using fair value to price a security may result in a price materially different from the price used by other investors or the price that may be realized on the actual sale of the security. All of these factors are in accordance with the authoritative guidance on fair value measurements under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”). In making valuations, opinions of counsel may be relied upon as to whether or not securities are restricted securities and as to the legal requirements for public sale.

When market quotations are readily available for unrestricted securities of an issuer, restricted securities of the same class are generally valued at a discount from the market price of such unrestricted securities. The Trustees, however, consider all factors in fixing any discount, including the filing of a registration statement for such securities under the 1933 Act and any other developments which are likely to increase the probability that the securities may be publicly sold by the Trust without restriction.
     
2.   Significant Accounting Policies  
     
  The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed consistently by the Trust in the preparation of its consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

A. Valuation of Investments:
Nearly all securities which are acquired by the Trust directly from the issuers and shares into which such securities may be converted or which may be purchased on the exercise of warrants attached to such securities will be subject to legal or contractual delays in, or restrictions on, resale and will therefore be “restricted securities.” Generally speaking, as contrasted with open-market sales of unrestricted securities (public securities), which may be effected immediately if the market is adequate, restricted securities can be sold only in a public offering for which a registration statement is in effect under the Securities

  The Trustees meet at least once each quarter to approve the value of the Trust’s portfolio securities as of the close of business on the last business day of the preceding quarter. This valuation requires the approval of a majority of the Trustees of the Trust, including a majority of the Trustees who are not interested persons of the Trust or of Babson Capital. In making valuations, the Trustees will consider reports by Babson Capital analyzing each portfolio security in accordance with the relevant factors referred to above. Babson Capital has agreed to provide such reports to the Trust at least quarterly. The consolidated financial statements include private placement restricted securities valued at $236,361,195 (93.93% of net assets) as of September 30, 2011 whose values have been estimated by the Trustees in the absence of readily ascertainable market values. Due to the inherent uncertainty of valuation, those estimated values may differ significantly from the values that would have been used had a ready market for the securities existed, and the differences could be material.

The values for Rule 144A restricted securities and corporate public securities are stated at the last reported sales price or at prices based upon quotations obtained from brokers and dealers as of September 30, 2011, subject to discount where appropriate, and are approved by the Trustees.

Short-term securities with more than sixty days to maturity are valued at fair value and short-term securities having a maturity of sixty days or less are valued at amortized cost, which approximates market value.
  In accordance with the authoritative guidance on fair value measurements and disclosures under U.S. GAAP, the Trust discloses the fair value of its investments in a hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure the fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to valuations based upon unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (level 1 measurement) and the lowest priority to valuations based upon unobservable inputs that are significant to the valuation (level 3 measurements). The guidance establishes three levels of the fair value hierarchy as follows:

Level 1  - quoted  prices  in  active  markets  for  identical securities

Level 2  - other  significant  observable  inputs  (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.)

Level 3 - significant  unobservable  inputs  (including  the Trust’s own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments)

The inputs and methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.

  B.     Accounting for Investments:
Investment transactions are accounted for on the trade date. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date. Interest income is recorded on the accrual basis, including the amortization of premiums and accretion of discounts on bonds held using the yield-to-maturity method. The Trust does not accrue income when payment is delinquent and when management believes payment is questionable.

Realized gains and losses on investment transactions and unrealized appreciation and depreciation of investments are reported for financial statement and Federal income tax purposes on the identified cost method.

C.     Use of Estimates:
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

D.     Federal Income Taxes:
The Trust has elected to be taxed as a “regulated investment company” under the Internal Revenue Code, and intends to maintain this qualification and to distribute substantially all of its net taxable income to its shareholders. In any year when net long-term capital gains are realized by the Trust, management, after evaluating the prevailing economic conditions, will recommend that Trustees either designate the net realized long-term gains as undistributed and pay the Federal capital gains taxes thereon or distribute all or a portion of such net gains.
  The Trust is taxed as a regulated investment company and is therefore limited as to the amount of non-qualified income that it may receive as the result of operating a trade or business, e.g. the Trust’s pro rata share of income allocable to the Trust by a partnership operating company. The Trust’s violation of this limitation could result in the loss of its status as a regulated investment company, thereby subjecting all of its net income and capital gains to corporate taxes prior to distribution to its shareholders. The Trust, from time-to-time, identifies investment opportunities in the securities of entities that could cause such trade or business income to be allocable to the Trust. The MMCI Subsidiary Trust (described in Footnote 1 above) was formed in order to allow investment in such securities without adversely affecting the Trust’s status as a regulated investment company.

The MMCI Subsidiary Trust is not taxed as a regulated investment company. Accordingly, prior to the Trust receiving any distributions from the MMCI Subsidiary Trust, all of the MMCI Subsidiary Trust’s taxable income and realized gains, including non-qualified income and realized gains, is subject to taxation at prevailing corporate tax rates. As of September 30, 2011, the MMCI Subsidiary Trust has incurred income tax expense of $82,221.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of the existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax basis. As of September 30, 2011, the MMCI Subsidiary Trust has a deferred tax liability of $1,160,921.

Beginning with the 2009 annual financial statements, the Trust recognizes a tax benefit from an uncertain position only if it is more likely than not that the position is sustainable, based solely on its technical merits and consideration of the relevant taxing authority’s widely understood administrative practices and precedents. If this threshold is met, the Trust measures the tax benefit as the largest amount of benefit that is greater than fifty percent likely of being realized upon ultimate settlement. The Trust has evaluated and determined that the tax positions did not have a material effect on the Trust’s financial position and results of operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2011.

E.     Distributions to Shareholders:
The Trust records distributions to shareholders from net investment income and net realized gains, if any, on the ex-dividend date. The Trust’s net investment income dividend is declared four times per year, in April, July, October, and December. The Trust’s net realized capital gain distribution, if any, is declared in December.
  4.
Senior Indebtedness
     
 
MassMutual holds the Trust’s $30,000,000 Senior Fixed Rate Convertible Note (the “Note”) issued by the Trust on November 15, 2007. The Note is due November 15, 2017 and accrues interest at 5.28% per annum. MassMutual, at its option, can convert the principal amount of the Note into common shares. The dollar amount of principal would be converted into an equivalent dollar amount of common shares based upon the average price of the common shares for ten business days prior to the notice of conversion. For the nine months ended September 30, 2011, the Trust incurred total interest expense on the Note of $1,188,000.

The Trust may redeem the Note, in whole or in part, at the principal amount proposed to be redeemed together with the accrued and unpaid interest thereon through the redemption date plus a Make Whole Premium. The Make Whole Premium equals the excess of (i) the present value of the scheduled payments of principal and interest which the Trust would have paid but for the proposed redemption, discounted at the rate of interest of U.S. Treasury obligations whose maturity approximates that of the Note plus 0.50% over (ii) the principal of the Note proposed to be redeemed.
     
     
     
     
3. Investment Services Contract    
       
  A.     Services:
Under an Investment Services Contract (the “Contract”) with the Trust, Babson Capital agrees to use its best efforts to present to the Trust a continuing and suitable investment program consistent with the investment objectives and policies of the Trust. Babson Capital represents the Trust in any negotiations with issuers, investment banking firms, securities brokers or dealers and other institutions or investors relating to the Trust’s investments. Under the Contract, Babson Capital also provides administration of the day-to-day operations of the Trust and provides the Trust with office space and office equipment, accounting and bookkeeping services, and necessary executive, clerical and secretarial personnel for the performance of the foregoing services.

B.     Fee:
For its services under the Contract, Babson Capital is paid a quarterly investment advisory fee of 0.3125% of the net asset value of the Trust as of the last business day of each fiscal quarter, which is approximately equal to 1.25% annually. A majority of the Trustees, including a majority of the Trustees who are not interested persons of the Trust or of Babson Capital, approve the valuation of the Trust’s net assets as of such day.

      Corporate public securities 9,761,750   3,659,558
       
     
The aggregate cost of investments is substantially the same for financial reporting and Federal income tax purposes as of September 30, 2011. The net unrealized depreciation of investments for financial reporting and Federal tax purposes as of September 30, 2011 is $16,237,544 and consists of $27,591,624 appreciation and $43,829,168 depreciation.

Net unrealized depreciation of investments on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities reflects the balance net of a deferred tax accrual of $1,160,921 on net unrealized gains on the MMCI Subsidiary Trust.

DIVIDEND REINVESTMENT AND SHARE PURCHASE PLAN
 
MassMutual Corporate Investors offers a Dividend Reinvestment and Share Purchase Plan (the “Plan”). The Plan provides a simple way for shareholders to add to their holdings in the Trust through the receipt of dividend shares issued by the Trust or through the investment of cash dividends in Trust shares purchased in the open market. A shareholder may join the Plan by filling out and mailing an authorization card to Shareholder Financial Services, Inc., the Transfer Agent.

Participating shareholders will continue to participate until they notify the Transfer Agent, in writing, of their desire to terminate participation. Unless a shareholder elects to participate in the Plan, he or she will, in effect, have elected to receive dividends and distributions in cash. Participating shareholders may also make additional contributions to the Plan from their own funds. Such contributions may be made by personal check or other means in an amount not less than $10 nor more than $5,000 per quarter. Cash contributions must be received by the Transfer Agent at least five days (but no more then 30 days) before the payment date of a dividend or distributions.

Whenever the Trust declares a dividend payable in cash or shares, the Transfer Agent, acting on behalf of each participating shareholder, will take the dividend in shares only if the net asset value is lower than the market price plus an estimated brokerage commission as of the close of business on the valuation day. The valuation day is the last day preceding the day of dividend payment.

When the dividend is to be taken in shares, the number of shares to be received is determined by dividing the cash dividend by the net asset value as of the close of business on the valuation date or, if greater than net asset value, 95% of the closing share price. If the net asset value of the shares is higher than the market value plus an estimated commission, the Transfer Agent, consistent with obtaining the best price and execution, will buy shares on the open market at current prices promptly after the dividend payment date.

The reinvestment of dividends does not, in anyway, relieve participating shareholders of any Federal, state or local tax. For Federal income tax purposes, the amount reportable in respect of a dividend received in newly-issued shares of the Trust will be the fair market value of the shares received, which will be reportable as ordinary income and/or capital gains.

As compensation for its services, the Transfer Agent receives a fee of 5% of any dividend and cash contribution (in no event in excess of $2.50 per distribution per shareholder.)

Any questions regarding the Plan should be addressed to Shareholder Financial Services, Inc., Transfer Agent for MassMutual Corporate Investors’ Dividend Reinvestment and Share Purchase Plan, P.O. Box 173673, Denver, CO 80217-3673.
