("MSI"), A FORMERLY REGISTERED INVESTMENT ADVISER AND BROKER-DEALER THAT WAS INTEGRATED WITH MMLIS IN MARCH 2017, IN CONNECTION WITH THIRD-PARTY COMPENSATION THAT MMLIS AND MSI RECEIVED BASED ON THEIR ADVISORY CLIENTS' INVESTMENTS WITHOUT FULLY AND FAIRLY DISCLOSING THEIR CONFLICTS OF INTEREST. IN PARTICULAR, DURING CERTAIN PERIODS SINCE AT LEAST MARCH 2015, MMLIS AND MSI INVESTED CLIENTS IN CERTAIN SHARE CLASSES OF MUTUAL FUNDS THAT RESULTED IN THE FIRMS RECEIVING REVENUE SHARING PAYMENTS PURSUANT TO AGREEMENTS WITH THEIR UNAFFILIATED CLEARING BROKER, IN SPITE OF THESE FINANCIAL ARRANGEMENTS, MMLIS AND MSI PROVIDED NO DISCLOSURE OR INADEQUATE DISCLOSURE OF THE CONFLICTS OF INTEREST ARISING FROM THIS COMPENSATION. MMLIS AND MSI ALSO BREACHED THEIR DUTY TO SEEK BEST EXECUTION BY CAUSING CERTAIN ADVISORY CLIENTS TO INVEST IN SHARE CLASSES OF MUTUAL FUNDS THAT PAID REVENUE SHARING WHEN SHARE CLASSES OF THE SAME FUNDS WERE AVAILABLE TO THE CLIENTS THAT PRESENTED A MORE FAVORABLE VALUE FOR THESE CLIENTS UNDER THE PARTRICULAR CIRCUMSTANCES IN PLACE AT THE TIME OF THE TRANSACTIONS. FURTHERMORE, MMLIS AND MSI FAILED TO ADOPT AND IMPLEMENT WRITTEN COMPLIANCE POLICIES AND PROCEDURE REASONABLY DESIGNED TO PREVENT VIOLATIONS OF THE ADVISERS ACT AND THE RULES THEREUNDER IN CONNECTION WITH ITS MUTUAL FUND SHARE CLASS SELECTION PRACTICES AND DISCLOSURE OF CONFLICTS OF INTEREST ARISING OUT OF ITS REVENUE SHARING PRACTICES. AS A RESULT OF THE CONDUCT DESCRIBED HEREIN, MMLIS WILLFULLY VIOLATED SECTIONS 206(2) AND 206(4) OF THE ADVISERS ACT AND RULE 206(4)-7 THEREUNDER.

HEREBY ARE, INSTITUTED PURSUANT TO SECTION 15(B) OF THE SECURITIES EXCHANGE ACT OF 1934 AND SECTIONS 203(E) AND 203(K) OF THE
INVESTMENT ADVISERS ACT OF 1940 AGAINST MML INVESTORS SERVICES, LLC ("MMLIS" OR "RESPONDENT"). THE COMMISSION FINDS THAT: THESE
PROCEEDINGS ARISE OUT OF BREACHES OF FIDUCIARY DUTIES BY MML INVESTORS SERVICES, LLC, A DUALLY REGISTERED INVESTMENT ADVISER AND
BROKER-DEALER, AND MSI FINANCIAL SERVICES, INC. ("MSI"), A FORMERLY REGISTERED INVESTMENT ADVISER AND BROKER-DEALER THAT WAS
INTEGRATED WITH MMLIS IN MARCH 2017, IN CONNECTION WITH THIRD-PARTY COMPENSATION THAT MMLIS AND MSI RECEIVED BASED ON THEIR
ADVISORY CLIENTS' INVESTMENTS WITHOUT FULLY AND FAIRLY DISCLOSING THEIR CONFLICTS OF INTEREST. IN PARTICULAR, DURING CERTAIN
PERIODS SINCE AT LEAST MARCH 2015, MMLIS AND MSI INVESTED CLIENTS IN CERTAIN SHARE CLASSES OF MUTUAL FUNDS THAT RESULTED IN THE
FIRMS RECEIVING REVENUE SHARING PAYMENTS PURSUANT TO AGREEMENTS WITH THEIR UNAFFILIATED CLEARING BROKER, IN SPITE OF THESE
FINANCIAL ARRANGEMENTS, MMLIS AND MSI PROVIDED NO DISCLOSURE OR INADEQUATE DISCLOSURE OF THE CONFLICTS OF INTEREST ARISING
FROM THIS COMPENSATION. MMLIS AND MSI ALSO BREACHED THEIR DUTY TO SEEK BEST EXECUTION BY CAUSING CERTAIN ADVISORY CLIENTS TO
INVEST IN SHARE CLASSES OF MUTUAL FUNDS THAT PAID REVENUE SHARING WHEN SHARE CLASSES OF THE SAME FUNDS WERE AVAILABLE TO THE
CLIENTS THAT PRESENTED A MORE FAVORABLE VALUE FOR THESE CLIENTS UNDER THE PARTRICULAR CIRCUMSTANCES IN PLACE AT THE TIME OF THE
TRANSACTIONS. FURTHERMORE, MMLIS AND MSI FAILED TO ADOPT AND IMPLEMENT WRITTEN COMPLIANCE POLICIES AND PROCEDURE REASONABLY
DESIGNED TO PREVENT VIOLATIONS OF THE ADVISERS ACT AND THE RULES THEREUNDER IN CONNECTION WITH ITS MUTUAL FUND SHARE CLASS
SELECTION PRACTICES AND DISCLOSURE OF CONFLICTS OF INTEREST ARISING OUT OF ITS REVENUE SHARING PRACTICES. AS A RESULT OF THE
CONDUCT DESCRIBED HEREIN, MMLIS WILLFULLY VIOLATED SECTIONS 206(2) AND 206(4) OF THE ADVISERS ACT AND RULE 206(4)-7 THEREUNDER.

WITHOUT ADMITTING OR DENYING THE FINDINGS, THE FIRM CONSENTED TO THE SANCTIONS AND TO THE ENTRY OF FINDINGS THAT IT FAILED TO REASONABLY SUPERVISE REGISTERED REPRESENTATIVES' 529 PLAN SHARE-CLASS RECOMMENDATIONS. THE FINDINGS STATED THAT THE FIRM'S SYSTEMS AND PROCEDURES FOR SUPERVISING REPRESENTATIVES' 529 PLAN SHARE-CLASS RECOMMENDATIONS WERE NOT REASONABLY DESIGNED. THE FIRM FAILED TO PROVIDE SUPERVISORS WITH ADEQUATE GUIDANCE AND INFORMATION NECESSARY TO EVALUATE THE SUITABILITY OF REPRESENTATIVES' 529 PLAN SHARE-CLASS RECOMMENDATIONS, AND ALSO FAILED TO PROVIDE GUIDANCE TO REPRESENTATIVES REGARDING THE SHARE-CLASS SUITABILITY FACTORS SPECIFIC TO 529 PLAN INVESTMENTS WHEN RECOMMENDING 529 PLANS. ALTHOUGH FIRM SUPERVISORS WERE REQUIRED TO REVIEW AND APPROVE ALL 529 PLAN TRANSACTIONS, THE FIRM'S PROCEDURES DID NOT SPECIFICALLY ADDRESS THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN ACCOUNT BENEFICIARY AGE, THE NUMBER OF YEARS UNTIL FUNDS WOULD BE NEEDED TO PAY QUALIFIED HIGHER EDUCATION EXPENSES, AND 529 PLAN SHARE-CLASS SUITABILITY. AS A RESULT, SUPERVISORS APPROVED NUMEROUS 529 PLAN C SHARE TRANSACTIONS WITHOUT HAVING ACCESS TO OR CONSIDERING BENEFICIARY AGE, A RELEVANT FACTOR IN EVALUATING THE SUITABILITY OF 529 PLAN SHARE-CLASS RECOMMENDATIONS. MOREOVER, THE FIRM DID NOT CONDUCT ANY TRAINING FOR REPRESENTATIVES REGARDING 529 PLAN SHARE CLASSES OR OTHERWISE PROVIDE GUIDANCE WITH RESPECT TO RELEVANT SUITABILITY FACTORS WHEN RECOMMENDING A PARTICULAR 529 PLAN SHARE CLASS. AS A RESULT, THE FIRM DID NOT REASONABLY SUPERVISE 529 PLAN SHARE-CLASS RECOMMENDATIONS AND FAILED TO IDENTIFY CLASS C SHARE RECOMMENDATIONS THAT WERE INCONSISTENT WITH THE SHARE-CLASS RECOMMENDATIONS SUGGESTED BY THE AGE OF THE ACCOUNT BENEFICIARY. THE FINDINGS ALSO STATED THAT THE FIRM FAILED TO REASONABLY SUPERVISE MUTUAL FUND AND 529 PLAN TRANSACTIONS FOR AVAILABLE BREAKPOINTS. THE FIRM'S SUPERVISORY SYSTEM WAS NOT REASONABLY DESIGNED TO IDENTIFY AND APPLY ALL AVAILABLE BREAKPOINT DISCOUNTS. THE FIRM REQUIRED ITS REGISTERED REPRESENTATIVES TO COMPLETE A BREAKPOINT WORKSHEET FOR CLASS A SHARE PURCHASES IN MUTUAL FUNDS OF 529 PLANS TO IDENTIFY AVAILABLE BREAKPOINT DISCOUNTS. HOWEVER, THE FIRM DID NOT REQUIRE, AND REGISTERED REPRESENTATIVES OFTEN COULD NOT COMPLETE, BREAKPOINT WORKSHEETS FOR DIRECT OR AUTOMATIC CONTRIBUTION TRANSACTIONS MADE SUBSEQUENT TO AN INITIAL INVESTMENT, BECAUSE SUCH CONTRIBUTIONS WERE SOMETIMES MADE WITHOUT THE INVOLVEMENT OF THE REGISTERED REPRESENTATIVE. THE FIRM RELIED ON AN EXCEPTION REPORT TO IDENTIFY MISSED MUTUAL FUND AND 529 PLAN BREAKPOINTS. HOWEVER, THE EXCEPTION REPORT ONLY CAPTURED TRANSACTIONS OF $500 OR MORE. AS A RESULT, THE FIRM FAILED TO HAVE A SYSTEM REASONABLY DESIGNED TO AGGREGATE FOR BREAKPOINT PURPOSES CUSTOMERS' CONTRIBUTIONS TO MUTUAL FUNDS AND 529 PLANS IF THOSE CONTRIBUTIONS WERE IN AMOUNTS LESS THAN $500.

MMLIS WAS RESPONSIBLE FOR SUBMITTING THE INVESTMENT ADVISER REPRESENTATIVE APPLICATION MATERIALS FOR AN INDIVIDUAL AND DID NOT
SUBMIT THE REQUEST FOR THE REGISTRATION OF THE INDIVIDUAL FROM THE PERIOD 2010 THROUGH 2023. THE FIRMS' REVIEW OF REGISTRATION
RECORDS DID NOT IDENTIFY THAT THE INDIVIDUAL WAS NOT REGISTERED ALTHOUGH ITS INTERNAL RECORDS INDICATED THAT THE INDIVIDUAL WAS
REGISTERED. THE INDIVIDUAL PROVIDED INVESTMENT ADVISORY SERVICES ON BEHALF OF MMLIS THAT REQUIRED THE INDIVIDUAL'S REGISTRATION
UNDER MCL 451.2404 FROM 2010 THROUGH 2023. THE BUREAU ALLEGED THAT MMLIS'S INADVERTENT FAILURE TO SUBMIT REGISTRATION MATERIALS
RESULTED IN MATERIALLY AIDING VIOLATIONS OF MCL 451.2404 BY THE INDIVIDUAL. MMLIS AND THE BUREAU AGREED IN LIEU OF ISSUING AN
ENFORCEMENT ACTION AGAINST THE INDIVIDUAL INVESTMENT ADVISER REPRESENTATIVE, THE ADMINISTRATOR WOULD ENTER AN ORDER TO RESOLVE
THE REGISTRATION ISSUE BASED ON THE FOLLOWING: MMLIS NEITHER ADMITTED OR DENIED THAT IT MATERIALLY AIDED IN VIOLATIONS OF MCL
451.2404 BY FAILING TO SUBMIT INVESTMENT ADVISER REPRESENTATIVE REGISTRATION APPLICATION MATERIALS FOR THE INDIVIDUAL FROM 2010 TO
2023. MML AGREED TO SEND A NOTIFICATION LETTER THAT IS NOT UNACCEPTABLE TO BUREAU STAFF, TO CLIENTS FROM WHOM FEES WERE

CONDUCT A REVIEW OF ITS POLICIES AND PROCEDURES TO IDENTIFY WEAKNESSES WITHIN THE POLICIES AND PROCEDURES AND CORRECT THEM TO
PREVENT FUTURE FAILURES TO REGISTER AGENTS OR INVESTMENT ADVISER REPRESENTATIVES. MMLIS AGREED TO PAY A FINE IN THE AMOUNT OF
$10,000.00 WITHIN 60 DAYS AFTER THE ISSUED AND ENTERED DATE OF THE CONSENT ORDER.
