About MLLHX
MFS Lifetime Income Fund Class R3 is a mutual fund structured as a fund of funds, primarily aiming to deliver a blend of current income and capital appreciation over time. The fund achieves its objective by allocating the majority of its assets into other MFS mutual funds, maintaining a notably conservative investment profile. Its typical target allocation consists of approximately 70% in bond funds to provide income stability, 20% in U.S. stock funds for a measure of growth potential, and around 10% in cash or cash equivalents to enhance liquidity and flexibility. Designed for investors seeking a managed, diversified approach to income generation, this fund offers a broadly diversified portfolio that is professionally allocated and periodically rebalanced among various asset classes. The focus on bonds as the dominant holding reflects an emphasis on reducing risk and preserving capital, which is suitable for individuals near or in retirement. The fund’s role in the broader financial market is to serve as part of the target-date or income-oriented fund category, benchmarking itself against the Bloomberg U.S. Aggregate Bond Index and providing convenient access to a wide range of domestic and international bond and equity exposures within a single investment vehicle.
