About MFWCX
MFS Global Total Return Fund Class C is a diversified mutual fund designed to pursue total return through a balanced, global approach. Its primary objective is to generate a combination of income and capital appreciation by investing in both equity and fixed income securities from markets around the world. Characterized by a conservative allocation strategy, the fund typically maintains an approximate 60% exposure to large-cap global stocks and 40% to global bonds, providing investors with a blend of growth potential and relative stability. This balanced mix aims to smooth out market volatility and support consistent returns over time. The fund benchmarks its performance to the MSCI World Index, capturing broad developed market equity trends, and seeks opportunities across various geographies and sectors. With a history dating back to 1990 and a notable asset base, the fund plays a key role for investors seeking global diversification and risk-managed exposure to multiple asset classes within a single portfolio. Class C shares feature no upfront sales charge but include a contingent deferred sales charge for redemptions within a year, along with ongoing expenses that reflect active management and global research capabilities.
