About MCBEX
MFS Core Bond Fund Class A is a mutual fund designed to provide investors with a balanced approach to income and capital preservation through an actively managed portfolio of high-quality bonds. Its primary objective is to seek total return, placing an emphasis on generating current income while also considering opportunities for capital appreciation.

Notably, the portfolio reflects substantial allocations to U.S. government securities and corporate credits, alongside exposure to collateralized and mortgage-backed issues. The fund employs an integrated investment process, blending macroeconomic analysis with bottom-up security selection and technical insights to manage risk and add value across changing market conditions. Managed collaboratively by experienced portfolio managers, the fund is structured to track the Bloomberg U.S. Aggregate Bond Index and targets investors seeking broad-based, core fixed income exposure as part of a diversified investment strategy.
