About MFGSX

MFS Government Securities Fund Class A is an open-end mutual fund that primarily invests in U.S. government securities, including bonds and other debt instruments issued or guaranteed by the U.S. Treasury, government agencies, or government-sponsored entities. The fund is structured to allocate at least 80% of its net assets to these high-credit-quality securities, aiming to deliver a balance of income and stability. Its portfolio also incorporates mortgage-backed securities and has the flexibility to use investment-grade debt and limited exposure to foreign securities or derivatives to adjust risk and respond to market conditions. Rotation among different government-related sectors is informed by macroeconomic analysis and current market valuations, which enables the fund to adapt to shifting interest rates and policy environments. The primary goal of MFS Government Securities Fund Class A is to provide total return, with an emphasis on generating current income while maintaining a secondary focus on capital preservation and gradual appreciation. With monthly distributions, moderate interest rate sensitivity, and a history dating back to 1984, the fund plays a significant role in providing investors with access to the stability and creditworthiness of the U.S. government bond market while offering systematic income within fixed income portfolios.
