About MHITX
MFS High Income Fund Class A is a mutual fund focused primarily on generating high current income, with a secondary objective of capital appreciation. The fund invests at least 80% of its net assets in high income debt instruments, which chiefly includes U.S. high-yield, or below investment-grade, bonds. This strategy exposes the fund to a broad spectrum of corporate issuers across diverse sectors, often emphasizing companies with strong or improving credit characteristics. Using a combination of bottom-up fundamental analysis and top-down risk management, the fund seeks to balance return opportunities with disciplined risk controls across market cycles. MFS High Income Fund Class A pays dividends monthly and is benchmarked against the Bloomberg U.S. High-Yield Corporate Bond 2% Issuer Capped Index, highlighting its focus within the U.S. high yield corporate bond market. By concentrating on lower-rated debt securities, the fund serves as a key vehicle for investors seeking enhanced income potential relative to higher-quality bond funds, and it plays a notable role in diversified fixed income allocations within the broader capital markets landscape.
