INTRODUCTION
The Applicants (as defined below) hereby request an order (the “Order”) of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) to amend the prior order issued to Barings Corporate Investors, et. al. (Investment Company Act of 1940, Release No. 32864, October 19, 2017) pursuant to Sections 17(d) and 57(i)
of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), and Rule 17d-1 promulgated under the 1940 Act (the “Prior Order”),
authorizing certain joint transactions that otherwise may be prohibited by either or both of Sections 17(d) and 57(a)(4) as modified by the exemptive rules adopted by the Commission under the 1940 Act.1
The Existing Regulated Funds,2 the Wholly-Owned Investment Subs, the Insurance Company Wholly Owned Subsidiaries, the Advisers, and the Existing Affiliated Accounts (as such terms are
defined herein) may be referred to herein as the “Applicants.”

C. Existing Private Funds and Affiliated Accounts
The investment vehicles set forth and described in Schedule C to this Application are each an entity whose investment adviser is Barings or another Adviser (the “Existing Private Funds” and, together with MassMutual, C.M. Life, and the Insurance Company Wholly Owned Subsidiaries, the “Existing Affiliated Accounts”).
Barings is the investment adviser to the Existing Regulated Funds and Barings or another Adviser will be the investment adviser to each of the Future Regulated Funds. The Regulated Funds may be
deemed to be under common control, and thus affiliated persons of each other under Section 2(a)(3)(C). Because MassMutual controls Barings, MassMutual is an affiliated person of Barings under Section 2(a)(3)(C), and therefore an affiliated person
of an affiliated person of each Existing Regulated Fund. Barings or another Adviser will be the investment adviser to each Affiliated Account. Each Adviser and each other Regulated Fund and Affiliated Account may be deemed to be under common
control with, and therefore an affiliated person of, each Regulated Fund under Section 2(a)(3)(C). As a result, these relationships might cause a Regulated Fund and one or more Advisers, other Regulated Funds and/or one or more Affiliated Accounts
participating in Co-Investment Transactions to be subject to Sections 17(d) or 54(a)(4), and thus subject to the provisions of Rule 17d-1.
II. APPLICANTS’ PROPOSAL
Applicants Seek to Update the Definition of “Follow-On Investment”
On April 8, 2020, the Commission announced that it would provide temporary, conditional exemptive relief (the “Temporary Relief”) for
business development companies that would permit business development companies with effective co-investment orders to participate in Follow-On Investments with an Affiliated Fund (as defined in the Temporary Relief)6 that is not already
invested in the issuer.7
In issuing the Temporary Relief, the Commission found that revising the definition of Follow-On Investments was “necessary and appropriate in the public interest and consistent with the protection
of investors and the purposes fairly intended by the policy and provisions of the 1940 Act.”8 The Temporary Relief would not permit Follow-On Investments by Regulated Funds that are not already invested in the issuer.
Applicants seek an amendment to the Prior Order in order to update the definition of “Follow-On Investments” to be consistent with the Temporary Relief and to read as follows:
“Follow-On Investments” mean: (i) with respect to a Regulated Fund, an additional investment in the same issuer in
which the Regulated Fund is currently invested; or (ii) with respect to an Affiliated Account, (X) an additional investment in the same issuer in which the Affiliated Account and at least one Regulated Fund are currently invested; or (Y) an
investment in an issuer in which at least one Regulated Fund is currently invested but in which the Affiliated Account does not currently have an investment. An investment in an issuer includes, but is not limited to, the exercise of warrants,
conversion privileges and/or other rights to purchase securities of the issuer.
Applicants believe that this update will simply incorporate the terms of the Temporary Relief into the Prior Order and that the findings made by the Commission with respect to the Temporary Relief
are equally applicable to the proposed Order and do not raise new policy concerns.
| 6 |
In accordance with the Temporary Relief, “Affiliated Fund” means “Affiliated Account” for purposes of this Application. See infra note 6, at 8.
|
| 7 |
Order Under Sections 6(c), 17(d), 38(a), and 57(i) of the Investment Company Act of 1940 and Rule 17d-1 Thereunder Granting Exemptions from Specified Provisions of the Investment Company Act and Certain Rules Thereunder, Rel. No.
IC-33837 (Apr. 8, 2020).
|
| 8 | Id. at 2. |
Page 6 of 60
The Applicants submit that the analysis in Section III, “Order Requested,” of the Prior Application is equally applicable to this Application, which differs only from the Prior Application in so
far as the definition of Follow-On Investments has been updated to be consistent with the Temporary Relief. Accordingly, that prior analysis is not restated herein.
The representations and conditions of the Prior Order, as stated in Section III.D of the Prior Application with the revision to the definition of Follow-On Investments, will remain in effect.9
III. REQUESTED RELIEF
Accordingly, the Applicants respectfully request that the Commission grant an Order amending the Prior Order. The Applicants are seeking to amend the definition of “Follow-On Investment” in the
Prior Order in order that certain Affiliated Accounts may participate in Follow-On Investments under the Order consistent with the terms of the Temporary Relief.
For the reasons stated herein, Applicants believe that:
|
|
• |
With respect to the relief pursuant to Sections 17(d) and 57(i) and Rule 17d-1, the relief continues to be appropriate in the public interest and consistent with the protection of investors.
|
IV. REPRESENTATIONS AND CONDITIONS
Applicants agree that any Order of the Commission granting the requested relief will be subject to all of the representations and conditions in the Prior Order, except that the definition of
Follow-On Investments has been revised as set forth in this Application.
V. PROCEDURAL MATTERS
The Applicants desire that the Commission issue the Order pursuant to Rule 0-5 under the 1940 Act without conducting a hearing.

MassMutual, Insurance Company Wholly Owned Subsidiaries and Barings
MassMutual is a mutual life insurance company organized under the laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. The Insurance Company Wholly Owned Subsidiaries are
wholly-owned subsidiaries of MassMutual. Barings, a limited liability company organized under the laws of Delaware, is an investment adviser registered with the Commission under the Advisers Act and is an indirect, wholly-owned subsidiary of
MassMutual. Barings is the investment adviser to the Existing Regulated Funds and the Existing Affiliated Accounts. MassMutual, the Insurance Company Wholly Owned Subsidiaries, Barings, and investment advisory clients of MassMutual and
Barings may from time to time invest in the Regulated Funds and/or the Affiliated Accounts.
As a mutual life insurance company regulated by the Massachusetts Department of Insurance (the “MA DOI”) and
the self-regulatory organization the National Association of Insurance Commissioners, MassMutual invests its general investment account to match its liabilities with respect to maturity and interest rate risk, including managing duration,
liquidity and overall volatility. MassMutual’s accounts are reviewed by the MA DOI to ensure compliance with various legal and accounting rules that, among other things, govern the types and amount of assets that an insurance company must
maintain to help assure its ability to meet its obligations to policy holders. MassMutual’s accounts are also subject to internal investment policies and oversight by various MassMutual committees.
MassMutual’s accounts are advised by Barings and other unaffiliated investment advisers. Barings serves as investment adviser to a portion of MassMutual’s accounts
pursuant to investment advisory agreements.
Although MassMutual indirectly owns Barings, Barings has a separate Board of Directors, officers and management team from MassMutual and operates as a separate, distinct legal entity.
Barings’ portfolio managers’ compensation is paid on the same basis with respect to managing the MassMutual accounts and any third-party accounts. Further, Barings’ allocation procedures do not distinguish between MassMutual’s accounts and
third-party accounts. Consequently, despite the affiliation between MassMutual and Barings, Barings manages the MassMutual accounts at arm’s length in the same way it manages third-party accounts in the relevant asset classes.
