A deferred variable annuity is a long-term investment designed to help you accumulate assets for retirement. It also offers a broad array of investment choices and asset classes, fixed accounts, death benefit choices and multiple methods to turn those assets into a stream of guaranteed income at some point in the future. (Guarantees are based on the claims-paying ability of the issuing company and do not apply to the investment performance or the safety of amounts held in the variable investment choices.) Variable annuities are not appropriate for everyone. There are fees and charges associated with owning an annuity. Variable annuities are subject to market risk, including the potential loss of principal. Also, withdrawals of earnings will be subject to income tax and may be subject to a 10 percent federal income tax penalty if taken prior to age 59 ½.
MassMutual Artistry first became available (in most states) on June 29, 2001, but many of the underlying funds were established before this date. For these funds, the total returns are computed using hypothetical variable annuity unit values which are based on the underlying fund's performance less separate account expenses for the periods shown, including periods before the product was available. For periods of one year or less, thetotal return is not annualized and is the percentage change in an Accumulation Unit. For periods greater than one year, the average annual total return for the time periods is shown.
Past performance is no indication of future results. This update contains the most recent month-end performance. Since performance changes daily, the current performance may be lower or higher than the performance reflected in this update. The investment return and principal value of aninvestment will fluctuate so that an investor’s shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. For the most recent month- end performance information, visit our website at www.massmutual.com or call the MassMutual Customer Service Center at (800) 272-2216, Monday – Friday, 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. Eastern Time.
Investing involves risk, including the loss of principal. Each investment choice underlying the variable annuity contract has broad risks that applyto all investment choices, such as market risk, as well as specific risks inherent in particular types of investment choices that may subject your variableannuity contract to greater risk and volatility than the general market.
Before purchasing MassMutual Artistry, investors should carefully consider the investment objectives, risks, charges and expenses of the variable annuity contract. For this and other information, obtain the MassMutual Artistry prospectus from your registered representative. The prospectus should be read carefully before investing or sending money. You may also obtain the prospectuses (or summary prospectuses, if available) for its underlying investment choices from your registered representative.

Financial Services Fund and performance on and after that date reflects performance of the Invesco V.I. Dividend Growth Fund.

The performance of the MML Fund will be lower than the American Funds® master fund because it represents an investment in the American Funds® master fund reduced by the MML Fund's fees. The performance for the period prior to inception of the MML Fund on August 15, 2008, shows the historical returns for the American Funds® master fund adjusted to reflect the MML Fund's fees at its inception (0.70%).
