About LFEKX
MFS Lifetime 2035 Fund Class R6 is a target-date mutual fund designed to help investors prepare for retirement around the year 2035. The fund’s primary function is to seek a high level of total return initially through a diversified allocation across asset classes; as the target date approaches and passes, it shifts its focus toward a combination of current income and capital appreciation, adjusting its asset mix to become more conservative over time. Typically, the fund invests in an array of underlying MFS funds, spanning U.S. and international equities, government and corporate bonds, inflation-adjusted securities, and other income-generating assets, providing broad diversification within a single investment. Notable for its active management and disciplined risk control, the fund uses a progressive glide path to balance growth potential in earlier years with risk mitigation as retirement nears. It represents a convenient option for investors seeking automatic portfolio rebalancing and professional oversight without the need to manage allocations themselves. With its multi-asset composition and systematic rebalancing, the MFS Lifetime 2035 Fund Class R6 serves as a core retirement savings vehicle for individuals and institutions, playing a significant role within the target-date fund category.
