About LFESX
MFS Lifetime 2035 Fund Class R2 is an actively managed target-date mutual fund designed for investors planning to retire around the year 2035. Its primary function is to deliver a high level of total return through a carefully structured asset allocation strategy that evolves over time: the fund focuses on asset growth in its earlier years and gradually shifts toward risk mitigation and income generation as the target date approaches. This progressive glide path ensures that the portfolio becomes more conservative, prioritizing capital preservation and income as investors near retirement. The fund invests across a diversified mix of asset classes by allocating substantially all of its assets into underlying MFS mutual funds. These underlying funds span U.S. equities, international equities, fixed income, and specialty investments—each selected through a disciplined, two-stage quantitative process to optimize diversification and risk-adjusted returns. With built-in rebalancing, active risk management, and no initial sales charge for Class R2 shares, the fund is structured for convenience and broad accessibility to eligible investors. It plays a key role in retirement planning, offering a single investment solution that adapts to changing market conditions and investor needs, helping participants manage longevity and market risks during accumulation and into retirement.
