About MACKX
MFS Conservative Allocation Fund Class R1 is a multi-asset mutual fund that aims to deliver a high level of total return while maintaining a conservative risk profile relative to other MFS Asset Allocation Funds. It achieves this objective by investing in a strategically allocated and broadly diversified portfolio composed of other MFS mutual funds. The fund combines exposure to various asset classes—primarily fixed income securities and a select allocation to equities—providing investors with access to both income generation and modest capital appreciation potential. Portfolio management is disciplined and incorporates multi-level risk oversight alongside systematic, rules-based rebalancing to maintain targeted risk and return characteristics over time. The underlying fund selection is actively managed, enabling shifts in allocation as market conditions change while ensuring consistency with the fund’s conservative mandate. MFS Conservative Allocation Fund Class R1 is widely used as a core holding for retirement plans and institutional accounts seeking stability and risk mitigation, benchmarking its performance against the Bloomberg U.S. Aggregate Bond Index. With net assets of approximately $3.7 billion as of late 2025, the fund plays a significant role in the responsible asset allocation landscape by balancing current income needs with capital preservation objectives.
