About DIFAX

MFS Diversified Income Fund Class A is a multi-asset mutual fund designed to provide a total return with an emphasis on generating current income, while also considering capital appreciation. The fund achieves its objectives by investing in a diversified mix of income-oriented asset classes, including a broad array of debt securities such as corporate and government bonds, high-yield and investment-grade instruments, as well as equities and real estate investment trusts (REITs). This broad diversification allows the fund to capture income from multiple sources and adjust allocations dynamically in response to changing market conditions using an actively managed, flexible approach. A notable feature of this fund is its blend of asset types—typically starting with a 35% stock and 65% bond allocation—which is further diversified across numerous sectors and securities. Key holdings frequently include high-yield pooled investments, U.S. Treasury futures, as well as leading REITs and real estate companies. The fund’s strategy is intended to provide moderate risk exposure within a moderately conservative allocation category, appealing to investors seeking regular income and downside risk mitigation through asset allocation. Established in 2006, the fund is backed by MFS, a recognized asset manager, and is benchmarked against the S&P 500 to compare performance within the broader U.S. market context.
