About MFFIX

MFS Lifetime 2050 Fund Class I is a target-date mutual fund designed primarily to support individuals planning for retirement around the year 2050. The fund’s central purpose is to provide a high level of total return through a dynamically managed asset allocation strategy that evolves as the target retirement year approaches. Early in its lifecycle, the fund emphasizes capital growth by investing more heavily in equities. As 2050 nears, the fund gradually shifts toward a more conservative mix, increasing allocations to fixed income and other lower-risk assets to help manage volatility and preserve capital. The fund features disciplined, active risk management and professional oversight by a team of quantitative investment professionals who adjust exposures across a diversified portfolio of underlying MFS funds. This approach aims to deliver broad market participation and disciplined rebalancing, offering investors convenient access to a comprehensive investment solution over their entire pre- and post-retirement periods. Notably, the fund’s holdings span multiple sectors and asset classes, reflecting a strategy tailored to balance growth and risk over time, and its performance is benchmarked against the Standard & Poor's 500 Stock Index for context within the broader U.S. equity market.
