About MIABX

MFS Inflation-Adjusted Bond Fund Class B is a mutual fund designed to provide investors with a total return that surpasses the rate of inflation over the long term, emphasizing current income while also considering capital appreciation. The fund primarily invests at least 80% of its net assets in inflation-adjusted debt instruments, such as U.S. Treasury Inflation-Protected Securities (TIPS), and can also allocate assets to inflation-linked securities issued by U.S. government agencies and other entities. This focus on inflation-protected bonds aims to help preserve the purchasing power of capital for investors amid rising consumer prices. The fund employs active strategies in duration and yield curve management to seek added value, and it is benchmarked against the Bloomberg U.S. Treasury Inflation Protected Securities Index. Established in 2004, the fund plays a notable role within the fixed-income sector, offering an option for investors seeking resilience against inflation within a diversified bond portfolio. The Class B share structure involves a contingent deferred sales charge that decreases over time, and ongoing operating expenses are reflected in its expense ratio.
