About MFBHX

MFS Corporate Bond Fund Class R3 is a mutual fund specializing in investment-grade corporate debt securities. The fund's primary objective is to achieve total return with a significant emphasis on generating current income, while also considering opportunities for capital appreciation. Managed with a focus on credit rather than duration, the portfolio is actively constructed using both fundamental and quantitative risk management strategies to identify corporate bonds believed to have solid or improving credit profiles. The fund allocates at least 65% of its assets to corporate bonds denominated in U.S. dollars and typically holds a moderate blend of investment-grade and a smaller proportion of below-investment-grade issues, maintaining interest rate sensitivity and credit quality within the standards of the corporate bond category. MFS Corporate Bond Fund Class R3 serves as a core fixed income holding for institutional and retirement plan investors seeking diversified exposure to U.S. corporate debt markets. With net assets exceeding $4.5 billion as of mid-2025, the fund plays a notable role in providing liquidity and credit access in the U.S. corporate bond sector.
