The MFS Utilities Fund Class A (MMUFX) is an actively managed, specialized fund that bets on the utilities sector of the U.S. stock market. This includes electricity providers, natural gas distribution firms as well as water and telecommunications firms. MMUFX’s managers seek those utilities that have strong growth prospects. The fund may also hold utility convertible bonds and preferred stocks.
Given its narrow focus on utility stocks, MMUFX should be used as a side bet within a broad equity portfolio. The fund is managed by MFS Investment Management
