About MFBKX
MFS Corporate Bond Fund Class R6 is an open-end mutual fund focused on corporate debt securities. Its primary objective is to achieve total return, with an emphasis on generating current income while also considering capital appreciation. The fund invests at least 80% of its assets in investment-grade corporate bonds, but also has allocations to below investment-grade bonds, U.S. Treasuries, foreign securities, and other fixed-income assets. This diversified approach allows for broad sector exposure and risk management through both fundamental and quantitative analysis. The fund’s portfolio typically features a high proportion of investment-grade corporates, complemented by smaller allocations to high yield, emerging market debt, and various types of asset-backed securities. MFS Corporate Bond Fund Class R6 serves institutional or retirement accounts by offering R6 share class benefits such as lower expense ratios and no sales charges, making it appealing for cost-conscious investors.
