About MMUCX
MFS Utilities Fund Class C is an actively managed mutual fund that focuses on the utilities sector. Its primary objective is to achieve total return by investing at least 80% of its net assets in securities issued by companies within the utilities industry, which includes firms engaged in the generation, transmission, or distribution of electric, gas, water, and other energy services, as well as certain telecommunications companies. The fund employs a combination of fundamental analysis and quantitative screening tools to select investments, allocating assets across both U.S. and international markets, including emerging markets and companies of all sizes. While primarily composed of equity securities such as common and convertible stocks, it may also invest in debt instruments, including those below investment-grade. MFS Utilities Fund Class C plays a significant role in offering investors exposure to the relatively stable and income-oriented utilities sector, often sought for diversification and potential defensive characteristics within a broader investment portfolio. The fund charges a level load structure, with no initial sales charge but a contingent deferred sales charge if shares are redeemed within a year.
