About MHOUX

MFS Global High Yield Fund Class R4 is an actively managed mutual fund focused on delivering total return with an emphasis on high current income by investing primarily in high-yield, below investment-grade bonds globally. The fund utilizes a top-down risk budgeting approach to adjust exposures across credit cycles, complemented by bottom-up fundamental analysis to select issuers considered resilient through varying market conditions.

This global orientation allows for diversified sources of yield across regions and sectors.
