About MFIRX
Morgan Stanley Global Fixed Income Opportunities Fund Class IR is an actively managed mutual fund focused on generating a high level of current income with maximum total return as a secondary objective. The strategy allocates at least 80% of assets to a globally diversified mix of fixed-income securities, spanning government bonds, investment-grade and high-yield corporates, securitized assets, and emerging markets debt. Portfolio construction blends a top‑down macro view—used to set overall interest-rate and credit beta—with bottom‑up fundamental and quantitative analysis to select securities and manage risk across sectors and regions. The fund distributes income monthly and maintains broad diversification, holding several hundred positions to balance sources of yield and mitigate idiosyncratic risk. It is overseen by Morgan Stanley’s Broad Markets Fixed Income team, which emphasizes flexible allocation, correlation-aware portfolio design, and active use of derivatives for duration and credit positioning. Within the market, the fund serves as a multi‑sector bond solution for investors seeking globally sourced income and total-return potential through dynamic exposure to varied fixed-income opportunities.
