AI brief of an SEC Form 8-K · ABERDEEN MUNICIPAL INCOME FUND (MFM)

MFS Municipal Income Trust (MFM) may now seek capital appreciation

Neutral Impact 3 of 5 other Written later

The Board of Trustees approved changes to the trust's investment objective and policies, effective December 21, 2007. The objective now adds that the trust may also consider capital appreciation alongside high current income exempt from federal income tax. The changes also allow the trust to invest up to 100% of its assets in lower quality debt, including debt in default, and remove certain percentage limits on investments.

Key points

  • Changes effective December 21, 2007, announced in a press release that day
  • Objective now reads high current income exempt from federal income tax but may also consider capital appreciation
  • Up to 100% of assets may be invested in lower quality debt instruments, including those in default
  • The policy of investing at least 80% of net assets in municipal bonds continues; it cannot be changed without shareholder approval
