About MBGAX
MFS Georgia Municipal Bond Fund Class B is an open-end mutual fund specializing in municipal bonds, with a focus on generating income that is exempt from both federal income tax and Georgia personal income tax. The fund allocates at least 80% of its assets to municipal securities issued by Georgia state and local governments, using a strategy designed to provide tax-advantaged income to residents of Georgia while emphasizing capital preservation and total return. Its investments support key public sectors such as education, healthcare, housing, and utilities within the state, often targeting long-duration bonds suited for investors seeking stable, tax-free income over extended time periods. Managed by Massachusetts Financial Services Company, the fund typically invests in investment-grade municipal debt but may also hold a portion of below-investment-grade instruments to enhance yield. It employs an active management approach based on detailed fundamental analysis and may use derivatives for selective market exposure or risk management.
