About MGSIX
MFS Government Securities Fund Class I is an open-end mutual fund specializing in the investment of U.S. government and agency securities. The fund primarily targets total return with a strong emphasis on current income, while also considering capital appreciation. Employing a sector rotation strategy, it actively manages allocations among various government entities such as U.S. Treasuries, Ginnie Mae, Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac, and other U.S. agencies and instrumentalities, responding to macroeconomic indicators and market conditions. At least 80% of its net assets are invested in U.S. government securities, with the portfolio typically comprising investment-grade debt instruments and mortgage-backed securities. This approach makes the fund a key choice for investors seeking exposure to high-credit-quality fixed income, aiming for preservation of capital and regular income. The fund pays dividends monthly and is notable for its relatively low expense ratio and accessibility to eligible investors without a sales charge. Through its focus on U.S. government debt, the MFS Government Securities Fund Class I plays a fundamental role in the intermediate government bond segment of the fixed income market, offering diversification, stability, and liquidity to a wide range of institutional and individual investors.
