- MFS Moderate Allocation Fund Class C (MMACX) is an open-end mutual fund that seeks a high level of total return with a moderate level of risk relative to other MFS Asset Allocation Funds. The fund employs a strategic asset allocation approach, investing primarily in a diversified portfolio of underlying MFS funds, including MFS Government Securities Fund (approximately 9.6%), MFS Total Return Bond Fund (8.5%), MFS Value Fund (7.9%), MFS Growth Fund (7.4%), MFS Research Fund (7.4%), MFS Inflation-Adjusted Bond Fund (7.0%), MFS Mid Cap Value Fund (6.9%), MFS Mid Cap Growth Fund (6.8%), MFS Research International Fund (5.2%), and MFS Global Opportunistic Bond Fund (5.0%), among others; it maintains approximate target allocations of 38% U.S. stocks, 37% U.S. bonds, 15% non-U.S. stocks, and 10% non-U.S. bonds, with systematic rebalancing and multi-level risk management to ensure style consistency and target risk profiles. Launched on June 28, 2002, and managed by a team of quantitative professionals at MFS Investment Management, which was founded in 1924 and is headquartered in Boston, Massachusetts, the fund targets individual and institutional investors seeking balanced exposure across global equities, fixed income, commodities, real estate, and emerging markets debt through its underlying funds. The portfolio demonstrates broad geographic diversification, with equity assets primarily in North America (73%), Europe ex-U.K. (10%), emerging markets (6%), the United Kingdom (4%), and Japan (4%); fixed income holdings emphasize U.S. government securities (28%), federal agencies (14%), and investment-grade corporates, supplemented by high-yield and inflation-protected bonds. In recent developments, portfolio manager Joe Flaherty retired from MFS effective June 1, 2025, relinquishing his responsibilities on the fund, with management transitioning to the existing team of quantitative analysts and portfolio managers. The fund issued significant year-end 2024 distributions, including a long-term capital gain of $0.80566 per share, short-term capital gain of $0.03243 per share, and dividend of $0.22769 per share (paid December 27, 2024), followed by quarterly dividends in 2025 totaling approximately $0.10 per share through September. Net assets stood at $6.56 billion as of October 31, 2025, reflecting ongoing growth amid active management adjustments to holdings like U.S. Treasury futures, NVIDIA Corp., Microsoft Corp., and inflation-indexed bonds.
