MFS Multimarket Income Trust (MMT) Revises Investment Objective to Add Capital Appreciation
On December 21, 2007, the board of MFS Multimarket Income Trust approved changes to the fund's investment objective and policies, effective that day. The objective now says the fund will seek high current income but may also consider capital appreciation, and limits on illiquid securities and derivatives have been loosened.
Key points
- Objective changed from high current income through fixed income securities to high current income but may also consider capital appreciation.
- Fund will still invest at least 80% of net assets in fixed income securities, and may invest up to 100% in lower quality debt.
- Percentage limits on certain investments, including illiquid securities, were eliminated, and some derivatives limits were removed.
