About MLTEX

MFS Lifetime 2030 Fund Class R1 is a target-date mutual fund designed to provide investors with a professionally managed, diversified portfolio tailored for those planning to retire around the year 2030. Its primary purpose is to seek a high level of total return by dynamically adjusting its asset allocation over time: the fund emphasizes growth through equity and other growth-oriented investments in its early years, progressively shifting toward a more conservative mix of fixed income and income-generating assets as the target retirement year approaches. This transition, known as a glide path, aims to balance growth potential with risk reduction as investors near retirement. The fund invests in a broad range of underlying MFS funds, benefiting from active risk management and regular rebalancing. It is structured to provide a convenient, one-stop solution for retirement investing, particularly suited for participants in employer-sponsored retirement plans. With a disciplined reallocation strategy, the fund seeks to help investors sustain long-term growth while managing volatility during critical years around retirement. The MFS Lifetime 2030 Fund Class R1 reflects MFS's established expertise in multi-asset investing and offers accessibility to eligible investors through its R1 share class.
