About MFGKX
MFS Government Securities Fund Class R6 is an open-end mutual fund that primarily focuses on investing in U.S. government and agency securities. This fund’s central objective is to achieve total return, with a strong emphasis on generating current income while also considering capital appreciation. At least 80% of its net assets are typically allocated to investment-grade U.S. Treasuries, agency mortgage-backed securities, and other debt issued by federal agencies, with the ability to employ sector rotation strategies among different government entities and instruments. The portfolio construction incorporates macroeconomic indicators, market valuation, and shifting market environments to guide allocation decisions, resulting in exposure to a broad range of maturities and security types within the government debt space. This approach provides investors with diversified access to U.S. government fixed income markets, appealing to institutional and retirement plans seeking relative stability and credit quality. Class R6 shares are designed for eligible retirement accounts, featuring no sales charges and a competitive expense ratio. The fund plays a vital role in the fixed income landscape by offering liquidity, credit quality, and income potential through a diversified portfolio of government-backed securities.
