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 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.
FORM N-Q
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

TO OUR SHAREHOLDERS
April 30, 2010
We are pleased to present the March 31, 2010 Quarterly Report of MassMutual
Corporate Investors (the "Trust").
The Board of Trustees declared a quarterly dividend of 54 cents per share,
payable on May 7, 2010 to shareholders of record on April 26, 2010. The Trust
paid a 54 cent per share dividend for the preceding quarter. The Trust earned 52
cents per share of net investment income for the first quarter of 2010, compared
to 47 cents per share in the previous quarter.
During the first quarter, the net assets of the Trust increased to $220,735,765
or $23.50 per share compared to $214,436,954 or $22.89 per share on December 31,
2009. This translates into a 2.7% 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 20.2%, 3.3%, 9.3%, 10.2%, and 13.7% 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 7.0% during the quarter, from $25.10 per share
as of December 31, 2009 to $26.85 per share as of March 31, 2010. The Trust's
market price of $26.85 per share equates to a 14.3% premium over the March 31,
2010 net asset value per share of $23.50. The Trust's average quarter-end
premium for the 3, 5 and 10-year periods was 5.6%, 9.2% and 6.9%, respectively.
U.S. equity markets, as approximated by the Russell 2000 Index, increased 8.9%
for the quarter. U.S. fixed income markets, as approximated by the Barclays
Capital U.S. Corporate High Yield Index, increased 4.6% for the quarter.
The Trust closed two new private placement investments during the first quarter.
The two new investments were in Manhattan Beachwear Holding Company and Eatem
Holding Company. A brief description of these investments can be found in the
Consolidated Schedule of Investments. The total amount invested by the Trust in
these two transactions was $6,000,000.
Banks and other senior debt providers have steadily increased the amount of
capital available to finance middle market buyout transactions over the past few
quarters. As a result, we have seen a significant increase in deal flow
available to the Trust over the past few months. We are hopeful that this higher
level of deal flow will translate into an increase in the number of new
investments for the Trust as we progress through the rest of 2010. On the
negative side, the trend towards lower leverage and more conservative capital
structures that we enjoyed through most of 2009 appears to be changing. Leverage
multiples have increased since the start of 2010 and we expect them to continue
to increase during the rest of the year. At the same time, we are seeing
downward pressure on pricing and return expectations. However, our approach to
investing will not change. We will continue to maintain the same discipline and
investment philosophy that has served us well for so many years.
During 2009, we spent considerable time working closely with the transaction
sponsors and management teams of many of our portfolio companies who were
struggling due to the weak economy. With the economy now improving, it is
refreshing to see many of our underperforming companies starting to show signs
of improved results. Assuming the economy continues to improve, we expect the
overall condition of the Trust's portfolio to strengthen as the rest of 2010
unfolds. We are also seeing signs of a recovery in realization activity. One of
the Trust's portfolio companies, Tangent Rail Corporation, was sold for a gain
on April 1, 2010. There are a number of portfolio companies that are in various
stages of a sale process and we are hopeful that many of these will turn into
successful realizations in the upcoming quarters.
Thank you for your continued interest in and support of MassMutual Corporate
Investors.
Sincerely,
/s/ Michael L. Klofas

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.
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:
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, 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"), or pursuant to a
transaction that is exempt from registration under 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 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 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 a security held
by the Trust; an estimate of the existence and the 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 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 $185,692,381 (84.12% of net assets) as of March 31, 2010
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 March 31, 2010,
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 accounting principles generally accepted in the United
States of America ("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.
The following is a summary of the inputs used to value the Trust's net assets
as of March 31, 2010:

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 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 that the 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. For the three months ended
March 31, 2010, the MMCI Subsidiary Trust has accrued income tax expense of
$1,298.
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 March 31, 2010, the MMCI subsidiary Trust has a deferred tax
liability of $138,845.
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 three months ended March 31, 2010.
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.
F. EXPENSE REDUCTION:
Citibank, N.A. ("Citibank") serves as custodian to the Trust. Pursuant to the
custodian agreement, Citibank receives a fee reduced by credits on cash
balances the Trust maintains with Citibank. All credit balances, if any, used
to reduce the Trust's custodian fees are reported as fees paid indirectly on
the Statement of Operations. For the three months ended March 31, 2010, there
were no credit balances used to reduce custodian fees.

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.
4. SENIOR SECURED 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 three months
ended March 31, 2010, the Trust incurred total interest expense on the Note
of $396,000.
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.

Corporate restricted securities $ 11,882,850 $ 2,082,613
Corporate public securities 9,878,542 6,472,063
The aggregate cost of investments is substantially the same for financial
reporting and federal income tax purposes as of March 31, 2010. The net
unrealized depreciation of investments for financial reporting and federal
tax purposes as of March 31, 2010 is $36,714,404 and consists of $19,603,824
appreciation and $56,318,228 depreciation.
Net unrealized depreciation of investments on the Statement of Assets and
Liabilities reflects the balance net of a deferred tax accrual of $138,845 on
net unrealized gains on the MMCI Subsidiary Trust.

MassMutual Corporate Investors
MEMBERS OF THE BOARD OF DIVIDEND REINVESTMENT AND CASH PURCHASE PLAN
TRUSTEES
MassMutual Corporate Investors offers a
Donald Glickman Dividend Reinvestment and Share Purchase Plan
(the "Plan"). The Plan provides a simple way
Robert E. Joyal for shareholders to add to their holdings in
the Trust through the receipt of dividend
William J. Barrett shares issued by the Trust or through the
investment of cash dividends in Trust shares
Michael H. Brown* purchased in the open market. A shareholder
may join the Plan by filling out and mailing
Donald E. Benson* an authorization card to Shareholder
Financial Services, Inc., the Transfer Agent.
Dr. Corine T. Norgaard*
Participating shareholders will continue to
Clifford M. Noreen participate until they notify the Transfer
Agent, in writing, of their desire to
Martin T. Hart terminate participation. Unless a shareholder
elects to participate in the Plan, he or she
Maleyne M. Syracuse will, in effect, have elected to receive
dividends and distributions in cash.
*Member of the Audit committee Participating shareholders may also make
additional contributions to the Plan from
OFFICERS their own funds. Such contributions may be
made by personal check or other means in an
Clifford M. Noreen amount not less than $10 nor more than $5,000
Chairman per quarter. Cash contributions must be
received by the Transfer Agent at least five
Michael L. Klofas days (but no more then 30 days) before the
President payment date of a dividend or distributions.
James M. Roy Whenever the Trust declares a dividend
Vice President & Chief payable in cash or shares, the Transfer
Financial Officer Agent, acting on behalf of each participating
shareholder, will take the dividend in shares
Patricia J. Walsh only if the net asset value is lower than the
Vice President, Secretary market price plus an estimated brokerage
& Chief Legal Officer commission as of the close of business on the
valuation day. The valuation day is the last
Jill A. Fields day preceding the day of dividend payment.
Vice President
When the dividend is to be taken in shares,
Michael P. Hermsen the number of shares to be received is
Vice President determined by dividing the cash dividend by
the net asset value as of the close of
Mary Wilson Kibbe business on the valuation date or, if greater
Vice President than net asset value, 95% of the closing
share price. If the net asset value of the
Richard E. Spencer, II shares is higher than the market value plus
Vice President an estimated commission, the Transfer Agent,
consistent with obtaining the best price and
Daniel J. Florence execution, will buy shares on the open market
Treasurer at current prices promptly after the dividend
payment date.
John T. Davitt, Jr.
Comptroller 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.)
