About MEDIX

MFS Emerging Markets Debt Fund Class I is an open-end mutual fund specializing in debt securities from issuers tied economically to emerging market countries. The fund’s primary objective is to deliver total return, with a particular emphasis on generating high current income, complemented by a focus on capital appreciation.

The strategy is actively managed, leveraging extensive research, country and security selection, and diversification to manage volatility and downside risk. With net assets exceeding $7 billion, the fund holds a substantial position within the emerging markets bond sector, offering investors access to both sovereign and corporate fixed-income opportunities across a wide range of developing economies. Its regular monthly income distributions and competitive expense ratio enhance its attractiveness to institutional and income-focused investors seeking exposure to the growth potential and yield premium of emerging market debt markets.
