About MCSIX

MFS Commodity Strategy Fund Class I is a diversified mutual fund designed to provide broad exposure to the global commodities markets. The fund’s primary purpose is to seek total return by investing significantly in commodity-linked derivatives and debt instruments, allowing it to participate in the performance of commodities without directly purchasing physical assets. Through its quantitative models, the fund aims to deliver a risk-managed approach to commodity investing, targeting various sectors such as energy (petroleum, natural gas), precious metals (gold, silver), industrial metals (zinc, copper), agricultural products (corn, wheat), and livestock. With a strategy rooted in both active management and risk diversification, MFS Commodity Strategy Fund Class I helps investors gain exposure to commodity price movements, often serving as a hedge against inflation and as a complement to traditional equity and fixed income portfolios. The fund has been recognized for its consistent performance relative to its benchmark, the Bloomberg Commodity Index, and plays a notable role in offering institutional and individual investors access to commodities through a professionally managed vehicle.
