About MHOIX
MFS Global High Yield Fund Class I is a mutual fund that seeks total return with an emphasis on high current income, while also considering capital appreciation. It primarily invests in lower-quality, high-yield bonds issued globally by companies with solid or improving credit fundamentals, focusing on below-investment-grade debt such as BB (43.4%) and B (42.8%) rated securities. The fund allocates across high-yield corporates (80.8%), emerging markets debt (16.7%), and other sectors, employing a top-down risk budgeting approach to enhance returns and manage volatility over market cycles. Managed by experienced portfolio managers David Cole and Michael Skatrud, it benchmarks against the ICE BofA Global High Yield - Constrained Index (USD Hedged), with characteristics including an average effective duration of 2.7 years, effective maturity of 3.8 years, and a 30-day SEC yield of 6.08% (with waivers). Class I shares, available without a sales charge to eligible investors, feature a net expense ratio of 0.82% and support monthly income distributions, playing a key role in providing diversified global high-yield exposure for income-oriented portfolios.
