About MFS
Shaping financial futures: a century of global investment leadership
MFS is a global investment firm with a century-long legacy of creating long-term value responsibly. We pioneered the first U.S. open-end mutual fund, creating access to the public markets for everyday investors. Today, we have evolved into a full-service global firm, providing fixed income, equity, and quantitative solutions to financial advisors, intermediaries, and clients across the globe. Our decisions, resources, and actions are centered around our shared purpose – to create value responsibly for the clients and end investors we serve.
What we offer
We offer a complete selection of financial products and services to address investors’ varying needs over time — as well as the needs of the more than 100,000 investment professionals we work with every day.
Excellence in service of clients
Serving our clients’ best interests has been the center of our investment approach since 1924. As active managers in the public markets, we view ourselves as stewards of capital in the truest sense: managing our clients’ assets with a deep sense of responsibility and understanding of what we own on their behalf.
Cultivated over a century, our approach helps us identify the best market opportunities, ensuring client assets are managed with a commitment to long-term value. Through deep, bottom-up research and strong relationships, we ensure every investment decision is well-founded. We do this by combining:
- Collective expertise
- Risk management
- Long-term discipline
Setting industry standards since 1924
Founded in 1924, MFS Investment Management marked the inception of the U.S. mutual fund industry — setting the stage for a series of industry firsts, including the establishment of one of the first in-house research departments in 1932 and the introduction of various innovative funds. For over a century, our clients have entrusted us with the unique privilege of positively impacting their futures. We do this by uncovering what we believe are the best long-term investment opportunities in the market — putting our assets to work responsibly.
Throughout our history, we have been at the forefront of the investment management sector, continuously expanding our global research capabilities, market presence and offerings to meet the evolving needs of investors.
