MFS Launches Global Multi-Asset and Absolute Return Funds

MFS Global Multi-Asset Fund’s investment objective is to seek total return. MFS seeks to achieve the fund’s objective by allocating the fund’s assets to a mix of asset classes (e.g., global equities, real estate-related investments, commodity-related investments, and global corporate and government bonds, including inflation-adjusted debt instruments); tactically managing the fund’s exposure to asset classes, markets, and currencies; and selecting individual securities within each asset class. 

MFS Absolute Return Fund’s investment objective is to seek total return. MFS employs an absolute return investment approach, seeking to earn a positive return regardless of market conditions. The company plans to achieve the fund’s objective by generating returns from a combination of individual security selection of primarily debt instruments and a tactical asset allocation overlay to manage the fund’s exposure to asset classes, markets, and currencies.  

MFS Global Multi-Asset Fund is team managed by members of MFS’ Quantitative Solutions team: Natalie Shapiro, Benjamin Nastou, and Linda Zhang. James Calmas manages MFS Absolute Return Fund, supported by a team of analysts from MFS’ Quantitative Solutions team.  

The funds are available for purchase through financial advisers and other intermediaries and are available in multiple share classes.
