Summary

MFS Global Total Return applies a disciplined and repeatable, if industry-standard, approach to constructing a balanced, globally diversified portfolio with a largely static mix of 60% equities and 40% fixed income. The strategy is implemented by an experienced management team with extensive supporting resources, but its distinctiveness rests mostly on the execution of the underlying sleeves rather than a differentiated asset-allocation framework.
