Babson Global Floating Rate Fund 2014 Annual Report
Investment Objective
The investment objective of the Babson Global Floating Rate Fund (Global Floating Rate Fund or the Fund) is to seek a high level of current income. Preservation of capital is a secondary goal.
Portfolio Management Commentary
How did the Fund perform?
n | The Fund reported a net total rate of return year-to-date through June 30, 2014 of +2.40% and underperformed the Credit Suisse Global Loan Benchmark which returned +2.59%. In addition, the Fund returned +4.04% on a net basis since the Funds inception date of September 16, 2013 and underperformed the Benchmark which retuned +5.06%.1 |
What factors influenced performance of the Fund?
n | Returns on the Funds U.S. holdings were generally less than its European holdings from a total return perspective. Spreads started the year tighter in the U.S. than in Europe therefore driving more price appreciation in the European holdings and contributing to Fund performance. Ultimately, good credit selection across both the U.S. and European markets helped influence Fund performance. |
n | Generally, the U.S. market could be described as a par market (or coupon clipping market) since inception and the Fund focused on investments in the primary market, which typically allocated below par and subsequently gained 50 to 100 basis points2 post allocation. While the weighting to the European market was less than the U.S., several investments in this region were purchased at a discount and helped drive Fund performance through capital appreciation. |
n | The senior secured loans have contributed the most to performance since inception. However, it should be noted that the high yield bond exposure also influenced performance. Global high yield bonds outperformed global senior secured loans resulting in additional pick-up in performance. |
Describe recent portfolio activity.
n | The Fund has doubled in size since the September 16, 2013 launch to a NAV of $114,631,442 as of June 30, 2014 and the portfolio managers have prudently been putting capital to work. The number of holdings in the portfolio has increased by over 100 issues, while keeping its positioning across geographies fairly consistent and still building concentrated positions in high conviction credits. |
n | The Fund remains overweight to European assets relative to the weighting of the global senior secured loan market as we believe Western European senior secured loans offered more attractive investment opportunities compared to the U.S. market recently. Looking forward though and given the market rally since the beginning of 2014, the number of discounted secondary opportunities has reduced. We believe the primary market will likely offer the most attractive source of investments for both markets in the near term, which has primarily been the case in the U.S. market recently. |
Describe portfolio positioning at period end.
n | The Fund finished the fiscal year-end with an 86.0% weighting to global senior secured loans. The remaining balance of the portfolio was invested in global high yield bonds (12.6%), primarily focusing on senior secured bonds. A portion of the Fund is invested in floating rate, high yield bonds (6.8%) predominantly issued by European companies, which increases the total floating rate exposure of the portfolio to 92.8%. |
1. | Total return describes the return to an investor based on the Class Y net expense ratio and includes the reinvestment of dividends and capital gains. Performance results reflect past performance and are no guarantee of future results. Current performance may be lower or higher than the performance data quoted. The net asset value (NAV) will fluctuate with market conditions. All returns 1-year or less are cumulative. The Credit Suisse Global Loan Benchmark is a market capitalization weighted average of the Credit Suisse Leveraged Loan Index and the Credit Suisse Western European Leveraged Loan Index. The Credit Suisse Leveraged Loan Index is designed to mirror the investable universe of the US dollar-denominated leveraged loan market. The Credit Suisse Western European Leveraged Loan Index is designed to mirror the investible universe of the Western European leveraged loan market, with loans denominated in US and Western European currencies. Indices are unmanaged. It is not possible to invest directly in an index. |

Babson Global Floating Rate Fund 2014 Annual Report
2. | A unit that is equal to 1/100th of 1% or 0.01%. |
n | From an industry perspective, the Fund remains well-diversified across a number of sectors based on Moodys Industry Classification, with higher concentrations in non-bank related Finance companies (12.7%), Healthcare, Education and Childcare (10.9%), and Diversified/Conglomerate Service (8.3%) as of fiscal year-end. Over the course of the past 6 months, there has been little change to the industry composition of the portfolio. |
n | In terms of portfolio credit quality as of June 30, 2014, the Fund had the following credit quality breakdown excluding cash and accrued income: 17.1% in Ba assets, 48.0% in single-B credits and a small exposure to Caa and below at 8.1%. Approximately 25.9% of the Funds assets are not publicly rated, primarily consisting of European issuers that we believe have a similar ratings profile as other assets in the portfolio. Baa assets accounted for the remaining 0.9% of the portfolio assets.3 |
n | The Top 5 countries in the portfolio has stayed relatively consistent and as of the fiscal year end is currently represented by the U.S. (57.0%), the U.K. (18.1%), Germany (5.8%), France (5.5%) and Canada (3.2%). Overall, the Fund has exposure to 16 different countries and supports our focus on building a well-diversified portfolio of global floating rate securities. |
Describe market and portfolio outlook.
n | As we enter into the second half of 2014, the global senior secured loan market continues to benefit from accommodative global central bank policies, strong corporate fundamentals, and record Collateralized Loan Obligation (CLO) issuance meaning the technical picture remains strong. |
n | Senior secured loan spreads in the U.S. and Europe contracted since the beginning of 2014 as demand has outweighed supply. Given the spread compression, we plan to focus on the primary market and select secondary market opportunities over the coming months as spreads across the Atlantic have aligned. |
n | Furthermore, high yield corporate credit fundamentals should remain favorable, in our opinion, as we believe the current low default environment will continue resulting in attractive risk-adjusted performance for the asset class. |
3. | Ratings shown are the highest rating given by one of the following national rating agencies: S&P or Moodys. Additional information about ratings can be found at www.moodys.com and www.standardandpoors.com. Credit ratings are subject to change. AAA, AA, A, and BBB are investment grade ratings; BB, B, CCC/CC/C and D are below investment grade ratings. Bonds backed by U.S. Government or agency securities are given an implied rating equal to the rating of such securities. Holdings designated Not Publicly Rated are not rated by these national rating agencies. |

Babson Global Credit Income Opportunities Fund 2014 Annual Report
Investment Objective
The investment objective of the Babson Global Credit Income Opportunities Fund (Global Credit Income Opportunities Fund or the Fund) is to seek an absolute return, primarily through current income and secondarily through capital appreciation.
Portfolio Management Commentary
How did the Fund perform?
n | The Fund reported a net total rate of return year-to-date through June 30, 2014 of +4.16% and outperformed the 3 Month USD LIBOR + 500 basis points1 Benchmark which returned +2.62%. In addition, the Fund returned +7.59% on a net basis since the Funds inception date of September 16, 2013 and outperformed the Benchmark which returned +4.20%.2 |
What factors influenced performance of the Fund?
n | U.S. senior secured loan spreads started the year tighter than in Europe therefore driving more price appreciation in European senior secured loans and contributing to Fund performance. U.S. high yield bonds, on the other hand, experienced more spread compression and capital appreciation than European high yield bonds since the beginning of 2014. Ultimately, good credit selection within each subset of the global high yield market helped influence Fund performance. |
n | Generally, the U.S. senior secured loan market could be described as a par market (or coupon clipping market) since inception and the Fund focused on investments in the primary market, which typically allocated below par and subsequently gained 50 to 100 basis points2 post allocation. Within the European senior secured loan market, several investments in this region were purchased at a discount and helped drive Fund performance through capital appreciation. |
n | With investors continuing to seek yield in this low interest rate environment, global high yield bond yields compressed significantly since the beginning of 2014, which led U.S. and European bonds to rally considerably. The Fund experienced a boost from its exposure to global high yield bonds relative to the performance of the global senior secured loans. |
n | The Funds Collateralized Loan Obligation (CLO) holdings and special situation credits have had little influence on performance thus far; however, we believe these assets have some of the best yield potential and will contribute to the Funds performance in the future. |
Describe recent portfolio activity.
n | The Fund has increased in size since the September 16, 2013 launch to a NAV of $63,825,458 as of June 30, 2014 and the portfolio managers have prudently been putting capital to work. The number of holdings in the portfolio has increased moderately while keeping our positioning across geographies fairly consistent and still building concentrated positions in high conviction credits. |
n | Given the rally in high yield spreads and lower government yields year-to-date, the Fund recently reduced the fixed rate debt allocation and increased exposure to floating rate assets. |

Babson Global Credit Income Opportunities Fund 2014 Annual Report
n | In June, the Fund purchased a 18.5 million notional Put Option3 on the iTraxx CrossOver with an expiration date of December 2014. The Put Option can provide protection should spreads widen significantly in the near-term. |
Describe portfolio positioning at period end.
n | The Fund finished the fiscal year-end with an allocation of 48.4%, 32.1%, and 13.4% to global high yield bonds, senior secured loans and CLOs, respectively. The remaining balance of the portfolio was invested in a few opportunistic special situation credits (0.4%) as well as one derivative (0.1%), a Put Option on the iTraxx Crossover. At this point in time, we continue to believe that global high yield bonds are more attractive than global senior secured loans from a relative value perspective. Additionally, a significant portion of the portfolio (53.4%) is senior secured in nature and can potentially mitigate principal loss in the event that default rates increase. |
n | From an industry perspective, the Fund remains well-diversified across a number of sectors based on Moodys Industry Classification, with higher concentrations in CLOs (13.4%), Oil and Gas (11.1%), and Healthcare, Education and Childcare (6.0%) as of fiscal year-end. Over the course of the past six months, the industry composition has remained relatively the same except for the build-out of its CLO position and a moderate increase in exposure to Oil and Gas companies. |
n | In terms of portfolio credit quality as of June 30, 2014, the Fund had the following credit quality breakdown excluding cash and accrued income: 12.5% in Ba assets, 51.9% in single-B credits and a modest exposure to Caa and below at 15.3%. Approximately 18.9% of the Funds assets are not publicly rated, primarily consisting of European issuers that we believe have a similar ratings profile as other assets in the portfolio. Baa and above assets accounted for the remaining 1.4% of the portfolio assets.4 |
n | The Top 5 countries in the portfolio has stayed relatively consistent and as of the fiscal year end is currently represented by the U.S. (42.2%), the U.K. (17.0%), Cayman Islands (13.6%), Germany (7.2%) and the Netherlands (4.7%). The Cayman Island exposure related to the Funds CLO holdings are predominantly invested in U.S. senior secured loans. Overall, the Fund has exposure to 19 different countries and supports our focus on building a well-diversified portfolio of global high yield securities. |
Describe market and portfolio outlook.
n | As we enter into the second half of 2014, both the global high yield and loan markets continue to benefit from accommodative global central bank policies and record CLO issuance meaning the technical picture remains strong. |
n | Furthermore, we believe the current low default rates will continue below their historical averages for the foreseeable future, as corporate fundamentals continue to remain strong. |
n | Performance for these markets has remained positive for each month since the beginning of 2014, and we believe the overall market technicals will remain strong, which should lead to continued attractive opportunities for the Fund across the U.S. and European markets and across the capital structures of high yield issuers. |

Babson Capital Funds Trust 2014 Annual Report
SHAREHOLDER EXPENSES (UNAUDITED)
As a shareholder of Babson Global Floating Rate Fund or Babson Global Credit Income Opportunities Fund, you incur ongoing expenses, such as management fees, shareholder service fees, distribution fees and other fund expenses. The following table is intended to help you understand your ongoing expenses (in dollars and cents) of investing in the Funds and to compare these expenses with the ongoing expenses of investing in other funds.
The table is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period from January 1, 2014 to June 30, 2014.
Actual Expenses
The first line in the table below provides information about the actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first line for the Fund under the heading entitled Operating Expenses Incurred to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.
Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes
The second line in the table below provides information about the hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Funds actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Funds actual return. The hypothetical account value and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in your Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.

Babson Capital Funds Trust 2014 Annual Report
REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Board of Trustees of Babson Capital Funds Trust and Shareholders of Babson Global Floating Rate Fund and Babson Global Credit Income Opportunities Fund:
We have audited the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities, including the schedules of investments, of Babson Capital Funds Trust, comprising Babson Global Floating Rate Fund and Babson Global Credit Income Opportunities Fund (collectively, the Funds) as of June 30, 2014, and the related statements of operations, and changes in net assets and the financial highlights for the period from the commencement of operations, September 16, 2013, through June 30, 2014.. These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Funds management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and financial highlights based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and financial highlights are free of material misstatement. The Funds are not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of their internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Funds internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of June 30, 2014, by correspondence with the custodian, brokers, and agent banks; where replies were not received from brokers and agent banks, we performed other auditing procedures. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of each of the Funds as of June 30, 2014, and the results of their operations, the changes in their net assets and the financial highlights for the period from the commencement of operations, September 16, 2013, through June 30, 2014, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Babson Capital Funds Trust 2014 Annual Report
APPROVAL OF INVESTMENT MANAGEMENT AGREEMENT AND SUB-ADVISORY AGREEMENT
The Board of Trustees of the Trust approved the Investment Management Agreement between the Trust and Babson Capital Management LLC (Babson Capital) (the Investment Management Agreement) and the Sub-Advisory Agreement between Babson Capital and Babson Capital Global Advisors Limited (BCGA) (the Sub-Advisory Agreement and, together with the Management Agreement, the Agreements) at a meeting held on July 29, 2013 (the Meeting). In making their decision to approve the Agreements, the Trustees considered a number of factors, though they did not identify any particular factor that they considered determinative, and individual Trustees may have attributed different weights to the various factors. The factors considered by the Trustees are described below.
At their meeting, the Trustees heard from representatives of Babson Capital regarding the nature, extent and quality of the respective services to be provided to the Funds by Babson Capital under the Investment Management Agreement and to Babson Capital by BCGA under the Sub-Advisory Agreement. The Board noted that, as two series in a newly organized trust, the Funds had no historical performance information or operating history at the time of the Meeting for the Board to consider in its evaluation of the Investment Management Agreement and the Sub-Advisory Agreement. As such, the Funds performance history was not a factor in the Boards deliberations in this regard.
The Board reviewed the proposed investment objectives, policies and restrictions of each Fund with Babson Capital and the qualifications, backgrounds and responsibilities of the senior personnel of the Trust and the portfolio management team of Babson Capital that would be primarily responsible for the day-to-day portfolio management of the Funds. The Board discussed with representatives of Babson Capital the track record, experience and capabilities of Babson Capital in the management of other investment vehicles, including other public and private funds, and the extent to which the investment programs of such vehicles were comparable to those of the Funds. The Board and representatives of Babson Capital also discussed Babson Capitals compliance capabilities and the financial resources available to be employed by Babson Capital and its affiliates for the benefit of the Trust. The Board further considered the responsibilities of Babson Capital under the Investment Management Agreement and the Sub-Advisory Agreement, including Babson Capitals coordination and oversight of services provided to the Trust by others.
The Board concluded that the nature, extent and quality of the respective services expected to be provided by Babson Capital under the Investment Management Agreement and BCGA under the Sub-Advisory Agreement supported the approval of the Investment Management Agreement and the Sub-Advisory Agreement.
In light of the nature, extent and quality of the management and services expected to be provided by Babson Capital to the Trust, the Board discussed the management fee (the Management Fee) payable monthly by the Trust on behalf of each Fund to Babson Capital under the Investment Management Agreement at an annual rate of 0.65% of the Global Floating Rate Funds average daily net assets and at an annual rate of 0.75% of the Global Credit Income Opportunities Funds average daily net assets. The Board noted that, under the Investment Management Agreement, in addition to providing investment management services, Babson Capital would provide the Trust with necessary offices, facilities and equipment and would coordinate and oversee the provision of services to the Trust by other fund service providers.
The Board considered information comparing the Management Fee with the advisory fees of a group of registered open-end funds believed by Babson Capital to have comparable investment objectives and strategies to those of each Fund (the Peer Groups) and also with other public and private funds managed by Babson Capital (or its affiliates). The Trustees and representatives of Babson Capital reviewed Babson Capitals analysis and selection of the Peer Group in detail. They discussed that the proposed fees for the Global Floating Rate Fund and the Global Credit Income Opportunities Fund were in-line with the management fees in each Funds Peer Group, despite that the Funds were global funds, while most of the funds in each Peer Group emphasized domestic investments, and that Babson Capital typically charges higher fees on its global accounts than on accounts that are invested primarily in domestic securities.
The Board also considered the expected expense ratio of each Fund and each Funds costs of organization. The Trustees considered that Babson Capital had contractually agreed to waive and/or reimburse certain fees and/or expenses so that, on an annualized basis, such expenses incurred by Class A and Class C shares of Global Floating Rate Fund would not exceed 0.80% as a percentage of average daily net assets allocated to each such class, such expenses incurred by Class Y and Class I shares of Global Floating Rate Fund would not exceed 0.75% as a percentage of average daily net assets allocated to each such class, and such expenses incurred by Class A, Class C, Class Y and Class I shares of Global Credit Income Opportunities Fund would not exceed 0.95% as a percentage of average daily net assets allocated to each such class.

Babson Capital Funds Trust 2014 Annual Report
APPROVAL OF INVESTMENT MANAGEMENT AGREEMENT AND SUB-ADVISORY AGREEMENT (CONTINUED)
The Board noted that because the Funds were newly organized, Babson Capital did not have historical profitability information with respect to the Trust available for the Board to consider at the time of the Meeting, but Babson Capital had provided the Trustees with pro forma information regarding the projected profitability to Babson Capital of its services to each Fund. The Trustees discussed the pro forma information provided by Babson Capital and noted that Babson Capitals revenues were expected to be offset by Fund operating expenses until the Funds achieved scale. The Trustees concluded that the expected profitability of the Fund to Babson Capital and BCGA did not appear to be unreasonable in light of the services to be rendered.
The Board considered that, as each Funds assets increase over time, each Fund and its shareholders would be expected to realize economies of scale as certain expenses, such as fixed operating costs, become a smaller percentage of overall assets. Babson Capital acknowledged that it may realize economies of scale in its management of the Trust as the Trust increases in size, and that it would consider proposing breakpoints in the Management Fee payable by each Fund once the Funds were approaching the breakeven point. The Board concluded that, at this time, and in light of the nature, extent and quality of the respective services expected to be provided by Babson Capital, the Management Fee rates and expenses of each Fund supported the approval of the Investment Management Agreement and the Sub-Advisory Agreement.
The Board considered potential fall-out benefits to Babson Capital and its affiliates as a result of Babson Capitals relationship with the Trust. The Board concluded that, in light of the expected costs of providing investment management and other services to the Trust and Babson Capitals commitment to cap the expenses of each Fund, the other ancillary benefits that Babson Capital and its affiliates expect to receive supported the approval of the Investment Management Agreement and the Sub-Advisory Agreement.
Based on their evaluation of the factors that they deemed to be material, including those factors described above, the Board of Trustees, including a majority of the non-interested Trustees, concluded that the Funds Investment Management Agreement and the Sub-Advisory Agreement should be approved for an initial two-year period, commencing on the effective dates set forth in the Agreements.

The category Audit Fees refers to performing an audit of the Registrants, Babson Capitals or Massachusetts Mutual Life Insurance Companys (MassMutual) annual financial statements or services that are normally provided by the principal accountant in connection with statutory and regulatory filings or engagements for those fiscal years. The category Audit-Related Fees reflects fees billed by Deloitte for various non-audit and non-tax services rendered to the Registrant, Babson Capital, and MassMutual. Preparation of Federal, state and local income tax and tax compliance work are representative of the fees reported in the Tax Fees category. The category All Other Fees represents fees billed by Deloitte for a SAS 70 review and consulting rendered to the Registrant, Babson Capital, and MassMutual.
The Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 and its implementing regulations allow the Registrants Audit Committee to establish a pre-approval policy for certain services rendered by the Registrants principal accountant. During the fiscal year ended June 30, 2014, the Registrants Audit Committee approved all of the services rendered to the Registrant by Deloitte and did not rely on such a pre-approval policy for any such services.
