About MCFTX

MFS California Municipal Bond Fund Class A is a mutual fund focused on providing tax-exempt income to investors. Its primary objective is to deliver a total return with an emphasis on generating income that is exempt from both federal and California state personal income taxes. The fund maintains a policy of investing at least 80% of its net assets in municipal bonds issued by Californian entities, which helps it cater especially to residents seeking double tax-free income. The fund is actively managed, with portfolio decisions based on sector and security selection as well as yield curve analysis. Its holdings are comprised almost entirely of municipal securities, giving it a long-duration profile generally aligned with the "Muni California Long" category. In addition to regular tax-exempt income, the fund also considers capital appreciation as a secondary goal. Established in 1985, it has a lengthy track record and is designed to appeal to investors looking for tax-advantaged income from stable, investment-grade sources within California’s municipal market.
