INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE AND POLICY
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 the New York Stock Exchange listings.
The Trust's investment objective is to maintain a portfolio of securities
providing a fixed yield while providing an opportunity for capital gains. The
Trust's principal investments are privately placed, below-investment grade,
long-term corporate debt obligations with equity features such as 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, which tend to be smaller 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.
Babson Capital Management LLC 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 quarterly 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.

TO OUR SHAREHOLDERS
April 28, 2006
We are pleased to present the March 31, 2006 Quarterly Report of MassMutual
Corporate Investors (the "Trust"). At the Trust's Annual Shareholders Meeting,
which was held on April 21, 2006, shareholders elected Roger W. Crandall and
Martin T. Hart as Trustees, each for a three-year term.
The Board of Trustees declared a quarterly dividend of 48 cents per share,
payable on May 15, 2006 to shareholders of record on May 2, 2006. The Trust had
previously paid a 46 cent per share dividend for the preceding quarter (plus a
special year-end dividend of 45 cents per share).
U.S. equity markets, as measured by several broad market indices, increased
during the quarter. Large stocks, as approximated by the Dow Jones Industrial
Average, increased 4.24%. Smaller stocks, as approximated by the Russell 2000
Index, increased 13.94%. U.S. fixed income markets, as measured by selected
indices, also posted mixed returns for the quarter. The Lehman Brothers
Government/Credit Index decreased -1.01% for the quarter and the Lehman Brothers
U.S. Corporate High Yield Index increased 2.89% for the quarter.
During the quarter ended March 31, 2006, net assets of the Trust increased to
$249,955,368 or $27.47 per share compared to $236,275,418 or $26.06 per share on
December 31, 2005, which translates into a 5.41% return for the quarter, based
on the change in the Trust's net assets assuming the reinvestment of all
dividends. Long term, the Trust returned 23.49%, 15.87%, 15.27%, and 15.66% for
the 1-, 5-, 10- and 25-year time periods ended March 31, 2006, respectively,
based on the change in the Trust's net assets assuming the reinvestment of all
dividends. The Trust earned 56 cents per share of net investment income for the
quarter, of which 6 cents per share is from nonrecurring items, compared to 60
cents per share in the previous quarter, of which 13 cents per share was from
nonrecurring items.
During the quarter, the Trust made private placement investments in nine new
issuers and closed one "follow-on" investment, totaling approximately $20.8
million. The follow-on investment purchased by the Trust was in ATI Acquisition
Company. The nine new issuers the Trust invested in were Fowler Holding, Inc.,
Fuel Systems Holding Corporation, H M Holding Company, Monessen Holding
Corporation, NABCO, Inc., OakRiver Technology, Inc., Ontario Drive & Gear Ltd.,
P I I Holding Corporation, and Radiac Abrasives, Inc. The weighted average
coupon of these investments was 12.08%. (A brief description of these
investments can be found in the Schedule of Investments.)
Thank you for your continued interest in and support of MassMutual Corporate
Investors.
Sincerely,
/s/ Clifford M. Noreen

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 while providing an
opportunity for capital gains by investing primarily in a portfolio of
privately placed below investment grade, long term corporate debt obligations
with equity features, such as warrants, conversions rights, or other equity
features and, occasionally, preferred stocks purchased directly from their
issuers.
On January 27, 1998, the Board of Trustees authorized the formation of a
wholly-owned subsidiary ("MMCI Subsidiary Trust") for the purpose of holding
certain investments. The results of MMCI Subsidiary Trust have been included
in the accompanying consolidated financial statements. Footnote 2-D below
discusses the Federal tax consequences of the MMCI Subsidiary Trust.
2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed
consistently by the Trust in the preparation of the consolidated financial
statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the
United States of America.
A. VALUATION OF INVESTMENTS:
Valuation of a security in the Trust's portfolio is made on the basis of
market price whenever market quotations are readily available and all
securities of the same class held by the Trust can be readily sold in such
market.
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 which may be effected
immediately if the market is adequate, absent an exemption from registration,
restricted securities can be sold only in a public offering for which a
registration statement is in effect under the Securities Act of 1933, as
amended (the "1933 Act").
The value of restricted securities, 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 the acquisition thereof 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 or less 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 are the existence of restrictions upon the sale of the security by
the Trust; an estimate of the existence and extent of a market for the
security; the extent of any discount at which the security was acquired; the
estimated period of time during which the security will not be freely
marketable; the estimated expenses of registering or otherwise qualifying the
security for public sale; estimated underwriting commissions if underwriting
would be required to effect a sale; in the case of a convertible security,
whether or not it would trade on the basis of its stock equivalent; in the
case of a debt obligation which would trade independently of any equity
equivalent, the current yields on comparable securities; the estimated amount
of the floating supply of such securities available for purchase; the
proportion of the issue held by the Trust; changes in the financial condition
and prospects of the issuer; the existence of merger proposals or tender
offers affecting the issuer; and any other factors affecting fair value, all
in accordance with the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "1940
Act"). 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.
The Trustees meet at least once in each quarter to value the Trust's
portfolio securities as of the close of business on the last business day of
the preceding quarter. This valuation
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
29
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS MASSMUTUAL CORPORATE INVESTORS
(CONTINUED)
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, the Trust's investment adviser. 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 $155,676,193 (62.28% of net assets) as of March 31, 2006
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 corporate public securities are stated at the last reported
sales price or at prices based upon quotations obtained from brokers and
dealers as of March 31, 2006, 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.
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. 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 accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States of America 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 to the Trustees either to designate the net realized long-term
gains as undistributed and pay the federal capital gains taxes thereon or to
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. For the three months ended
March 31, 2006, the MMCI Subsidiary Trust has accrued tax expense on net
realized gains of $355,601 and reduced accrued deferred tax expense on net
unrealized gains by $150,683.
E. DISTRIBUTIONS TO SHAREHOLDERS:
The Trust records distributions to shareholders from net investment income
and net realized gains, if any, on the exdividend 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.

3. INVESTMENT SERVICES CONTRACT
A. NEW INVESTMENT SERVICES CONTRACT:
An Investment Services Contract between the Trust and Babson Capital,
effective October 1, 2005 (the "New Contract"), provides for a quarterly
investment advisory fee of 0.3125% of the net asset value of the Trust each
quarter, which is approximately equal to 1.25% annually, with no performance
adjustment. The New Contract provides that for its first eighteen months, the
investment advisory fee cannot exceed the amount that Babson Capital would
have been paid under the prior Investment Services Contract with the Trust
dated July 1, 1988 (the "Prior Contract").
B. SERVICES:
Under the New 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 New Contract, Babson
Capital 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.
C. PRIOR INVESTMENT SERVICES CONTRACT ADVISORY FEE:
Under the Prior Contract, the Trust paid Babson Capital a quarterly base rate
(the "Base Fee Rate") of 5/16 of 1% of the value of the Trust's net assets as
of the end of each fiscal quarter, approximately equivalent to 1.25% of the
net asset value of the Trust on an annual basis, plus or minus a quarterly
performance adjustment (the "Performance Adjustment") of up to 1/16 of 1% of
net asset value, approximately equivalent to plus or minus 0.25% on an annual
basis.
The Performance Adjustment was based on the Trust's performance as compared
to a benchmark rate of return (the "Target Rate") equal to 5.0 percentage
points plus an unweighted, arithmetic average of the rates of return of the
Standard & Poor's Industrials Composite (formerly called the Standard &
Poor's Industrial Price Index) and the Lehman Brothers Intermediate U.S.
Credit Index (formerly called the Lehman Brothers Corporate Bond Index) over
a rolling three-year period (the "Measurement Period") comprising the twelve
quarters ending on the last day of each quarter (the "Valuation Date"). Since
the Standard & Poor's Industrials Composite is not readily available to the
general public, Babson Capital obtained the information for this index from
Factset Research Systems. The three-year annualized return for the Standard &
Poor's Industrials Composite for the period ended March 31, 2006 was 16.41%.
Under the Prior Contract, the Performance Adjustment was equal to 5% of the
difference between the Trust's actual rate of return over the Measurement
Period and the Target Rate. If the Trust's actual rate of return exceeded the
Target Rate, the Base Fee Rate would be increased by an amount equal to the
Performance Adjustment; if the Trust's actual rate of return was less than
the Target Rate, the Base Fee Rate was reduced by the Performance Adjustment.
Under the Prior Contract, the investment advisory fee payable by the Trust
would be equal to the Base Fee Rate (as adjusted by the Performance
Adjustment) times the net asset value of the Trust as of the Valuation Date.
Additionally, Babson Capital agreed to waive, for each quarter beginning July
1, 2004, the amount, if any, by which the investment advisory fee calculated
in the manner described in the Prior Contract exceeded the sum of (i) 5/16 of
1% times the ending net asset value for that quarter plus or minus (ii) the
Performance Adjustment applied against the average quarter end net assets for
the Trust for the twelve-quarter period ending on such quarter.
4. SENIOR SECURED INDEBTEDNESS
A. NOTE PAYABLE:
MassMutual holds the Trust's $20,000,000 Senior Fixed Rate Convertible Note
(the "Note") issued by the Trust in 1995. The Note, as amended, is due
November 15, 2007 and accrues at 7.39% 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 three months ended
March 31, 2006, the Trust incurred total interest expense on the Note of
$369,500.
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 the 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.

B. REVOLVING CREDIT AGREEMENT:
The Trust entered into a Revolving Credit Agreement (the "Revolver") with The
Royal Bank of Scotland PLC as of May 31, 2005 (the "Agent Bank"), in the
principal amount of $25,000,000, maturing May 31, 2008. The Revolver bears
interest payable in arrears at a per annum rate that varies depending upon
whether the Trust requests a Base Rate Loan or LIBOR Rate Loan. Interest on
Base Rate Loans equals the higher of: (i) the annual "Base Rate" as set
periodically by the Agent Bank and (ii) the most recent Federal Funds

DIVIDEND REINVESTMENT AND SHARE PURCHASE PLAN
MassMutual Corporate Investors offers a Dividend Reinvestment and Share Purchase
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 reinvestment 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.
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 any way, 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., Agent for MassMutual Corporate Investors' Dividend Reinvestment
and Share Purchase Plan, P.O. Box 173673, Denver CO 80217-3673.
