About MLLAX

MFS Lifetime Income Fund Class A is a mutual fund structured as a fund-of-funds, primarily aiming to achieve a total return through a blend of current income and capital appreciation. Its core strategy involves a conservative allocation among various MFS-managed mutual funds, with a pronounced emphasis on bond funds for steady income while maintaining a smaller allocation to equity funds to support long-term growth. Notably, the fund typically targets approximately 70% of assets in bond funds, 20% in U.S. stock funds, and 10% in cash or cash-equivalents, offering diversification and active rebalancing within a single investment. Designed to facilitate retirement-oriented investing, it appeals to investors seeking a professionally managed, broadly diversified portfolio with automatic rebalancing. The fund's performance benchmark is the Bloomberg U.S. Aggregate Bond Index, reflecting its income-focused portfolio. MFS Lifetime Income Fund Class A plays a significant role in the retirement planning sector, serving as a convenient vehicle for accessing income generation and moderate growth with risk mitigation through asset allocation across fixed income and equity markets.
