About MBDIX
MFS Corporate Bond Fund Class I is a mutual fund designed to provide investors with total return, placing a strong emphasis on current income while also considering capital appreciation. The fund primarily invests in a diversified portfolio of corporate bonds, with at least 80% of its net assets typically allocated to fixed income securities issued by corporations with solid or improving fundamentals. It differentiates itself by focusing on credit quality rather than duration to enhance value, and employs a combination of fundamental and quantitative risk management techniques, including both micro- and macroeconomic analysis. The majority of its holdings are investment-grade corporate bonds, complemented by allocations to U.S. Treasuries, high-yield corporates, and select exposures to emerging market debt, securitized assets, and cash equivalents. The fund uses the Bloomberg U.S. Credit Bond Index as its primary benchmark, reflecting its alignment with the broader corporate credit market. This fund plays a significant role for investors seeking diversified credit exposure and income generation within the fixed income sector of the financial markets, underpinned by a disciplined approach to risk and fundamental analysis.
