Fund info

MFS Emerging Markets Debt Fund Class C is a mutual fund that primarily invests in debt instruments issued by sovereign and corporate entities tied economically to emerging market countries. Its central aim is to provide total return with a strong emphasis on high current income, complemented by capital appreciation. The fund’s portfolio typically allocates at least 80% of its assets to emerging markets debt, while maintaining flexibility with modest exposures to U.S. Treasuries and diversified, liquid holdings to help manage volatility and downside risk. Managed by an experienced team since 1998, the fund focuses on rigorous research in country and security selection to strive for outperformance and risk mitigation. It benchmarks its performance against the JPMorgan Emerging Markets Bond Index Global, reflecting a broad array of emerging market government and corporate bonds. The fund’s size and research-driven approach position it as a significant player for investors seeking exposure to the dynamic and diverse fixed income opportunities that characterize emerging economies worldwide.
