| (a) | For all securities other than those specifically described below, ratings are assigned to underlying securities utilizing ratings from Moody’s, Fitch, and Standard & Poor’s rating agencies and applying the following hierarchy: If all three agencies provide a rating, the middle rating (after dropping the highest and lowest ratings) is assigned; if two of the three agencies rate a security, the lower of the two is assigned. If none of the 3 rating agencies above assign a rating, but the security is rated by DBRS Morningstar, then the DBRS Morningstar rating is assigned. If none of the 4 rating agencies listed above rate the security, but the security is rated by the Kroll Bond Rating Agency (KBRA), then the KBRA rating is assigned. Ratings are shown in the S&P and Fitch scale (e.g., AAA). Securities rated BBB or higher are considered investment grade. All ratings are subject to change. Not Rated includes fixed income securities and fixed income derivatives that have not been rated by any rating agency. Non-Fixed Income includes equity securities (including convertible bonds and equity derivatives), ETFs and Options on ETFs, and/or commodity-linked derivatives. The fund may or may not have held all of these instruments on this date. The fund is not rated by these agencies. |
| (b) | Cash & Cash Equivalents (Less Liabilities) includes any cash, investments in money market funds, short-term securities, and other assets less liabilities. Liabilities include the value of outstanding borrowings made by the fund for leverage transactions. Cash & Cash Equivalents (Less Liabilities) is negative due to these borrowings. Please see the Statement of Assets and Liabilities for additional information related to the fund’s cash position and other assets and liabilities. Please see Note 6 in the Notes to Financial Statements for more information on the fund's outstanding borrowings. |
| (d) | Duration is a measure of how much a bond’s price is likely to fluctuate with general changes in interest rates, e.g., if rates rise 1.00%, a bond with a 5-year duration is likely to lose about 5.00% of its value due to the interest rate move. The Average Duration calculation reflects the impact of the equivalent exposure of derivative positions, if any. |
| (f) | The fund invests a portion of its assets in Exchange-Traded Funds (ETFs) or Options on ETFs to gain fixed income exposure. Percentages include the direct exposure from investing in ETFs or Options on ETFs and not the indirect exposure to the underlying holdings. |
| (i) | For purposes of this presentation, the components include the value of securities, and reflect the impact of the equivalent exposure of derivative positions, if any. These amounts may be negative from time to time. Equivalent exposure is a calculated amount that translates the derivative position into a reasonable approximation of the amount of the underlying asset that the portfolio would have to hold at a given point in time to have the same price sensitivity that results from the portfolio’s ownership of the derivative contract. When dealing with derivatives, equivalent exposure is a more representative measure of the potential impact of a position on portfolio performance than value. The bond component will include any accrued interest amounts. |
| (m) | In determining each instrument’s effective maturity for purposes of calculating the fund’s dollar-weighted average effective maturity, MFS uses the instrument’s stated maturity or, if applicable, an earlier date on which MFS believes it is probable that a maturity-shortening feature (such as a put, pre-refunding or prepayment) will cause the instrument to be repaid. Such an earlier date can be substantially shorter than the instrument’s stated maturity. |

Code of Ethics for Principal Executive and Principal Financial Officers
Effective April 1, 2024
Policy Purpose and Summary
Section 406 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act requires that each MFS Fund registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 disclose whether or not it has adopted a code of ethics for senior financial officers, applicable to its principal financial officer and principal accounting officer.
I.Overview
A. Covered Officers/Purpose of the Code
This code of ethics (this “Code”) has been adopted by the funds (collectively, “Funds” and each, “Fund”) under supervision of the MFS Funds Board (the “Board”) and applies to the Funds’ Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer (the “Covered Officers” each of whom is set forth in Exhibit A) for the purpose of promoting:
•honest and ethical conduct, including the ethical handling of actual or apparent conflicts of interest between personal and professional relationships;
•full, fair, accurate, timely and understandable disclosure in reports and documents that the Funds file with, or submit to, the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and in other public communications made by the Funds;
•compliance by the Funds with applicable laws and governmental rules and regulations;
•the prompt internal reporting of violations of the Code to an appropriate person or persons identified in the Code; and
•accountability for adherence to the Code.
B. Conduct Guidelines
Each Covered Officer should adhere to a high standard of business ethics and should be sensitive to situations that may give rise to actual as well as apparent conflicts of interest. In addition, each Covered Officer should not place his or her personal interests ahead of the Funds’ interests and should endeavor to act honestly and ethically. In furtherance of the foregoing, each Covered Officer must:
•not use his or her personal influence or personal relationships improperly to influence investment decisions or financial reporting for any Fund whereby the Covered Officer would benefit personally to the detriment of the Fund; and
•not cause a Fund to take action, or fail to take action, for the individual personal benefit of the Covered Officer rather than the benefit of the Fund.
The following activities, which could create the appearance of a conflict of interest, are permitted only with the approval of the Funds’ Chief Legal Officer (“CLO”):
•service as a director on the board of any “for profit” company other than the board of the Funds' investment adviser or its subsidiaries or board of a pooled investment vehicle sponsored by the Funds' investment adviser or its subsidiaries;
•running for political office;
•the receipt of any Fund business-related gift or any entertainment from any company with which a Fund has current or prospective business dealings unless such gift or entertainment is permitted by the gifts and entertainment policy of the Funds' investment adviser;
•any material ownership interest in, or any consulting or employment relationship with, any Fund service providers (e.g., custodian banks, audit firms), other than the Funds’ investment adviser, principal underwriter, administrator or any affiliated person thereof;
•a direct or indirect financial interest in commissions, transaction charges or spreads paid by a Fund for effecting portfolio transactions or for selling or redeeming shares, other than an interest arising from the Covered Officer’s employment or securities ownership.
C.Disclosure and Compliance
•Each Covered Officer should familiarize himself or herself with the disclosure requirements generally applicable to the Funds;
•each Covered Officer should not knowingly misrepresent, or cause others to misrepresent, facts about a Fund to others, whether within or outside the Fund, including to the Fund’s trustees and auditors, and to governmental regulators and self-regulatory organizations;
•each Covered Officer should, to the extent appropriate within his or her area of Fund responsibility, consult with other officers and employees of the Funds and the adviser with the goal of promoting full, fair, accurate, timely and understandable disclosure in the reports and documents the Funds file with, or submit to, the SEC and in other public communications made by the Funds; and
•it is the responsibility of each Covered Officer to promote compliance within his or her area of Fund responsibility with the standards and restrictions imposed by applicable laws, rules and regulations.
D.Reporting and Accountability
Each Covered Officer must:
•upon adoption of the Code (or thereafter as applicable, upon becoming a Covered Officer), affirm in writing to the Board that he or she has received, read, and understands the Code;
•annually thereafter affirm to the Board that he or she has complied with the requirements of the Code;
•annually report to the CLO affiliations and relationships which are or may raise the appearance of a conflict of interest with the Covered Officer’s duties to the Funds, as identified in the annual Trustee and Officer Questionnaire;
•not retaliate against any other Covered Officer or any officer or employee of the Funds or their affiliated persons for reports of potential violations that are made in good faith; and
•notify the CLO promptly if he or she knows of any violation of this Code. Failure to do so is itself a violation of this Code.
The CLO is responsible for applying this Code to specific situations in which questions are presented under it, granting waivers upon consultation with the Board or its designee, investigating violations, and has the authority to interpret this Code in any particular situation. The CLO will report requests for waivers to the Board (or a designee thereof) promptly upon receipt of a waiver request and will periodically report to the Board any approvals granted since the last report.
The CLO will take all appropriate action to investigate any potential violations reported to him or her and to report any violations to the Board. If the Board concurs that a violation has occurred, it will consider appropriate action, which may include review of, and appropriate modifications to, applicable policies and procedures; notification to appropriate personnel of the investment adviser or its board; or a recommendation to dismiss the Covered Officer.
Any changes to or waivers of this Code will, to the extent required, be disclosed as provided by SEC rules.
E. Confidentiality
All reports and records prepared or maintained pursuant to this Code and under the direction of the CLO will be considered confidential and shall be maintained and protected accordingly. Except as otherwise required by law or this Code, such matters shall not be disclosed to anyone other than the Funds’ Board, its counsel, counsel to the Board’s independent trustees and senior management and the board of directors of the Fund’s investment adviser and its counsel.
F. Internal Use
The Code is intended solely for the internal use by the Funds and does not constitute an admission, by or on behalf of any Fund, as to any fact, circumstance, or legal conclusion.
II.Supervision
The Board of Trustees of the Funds, including a majority of the Trustees who are not “interested persons” (as defined in the 1940 Act) of the Funds, shall review no less frequently than annually, a report from the CLO regarding the affirmations of the principal executive officer and the principal financial officer as to compliance with this Code.
III.Interpretation and Escalation
Breaches of the Code are reviewed by the CLO and communicated to the Board of Trustees of the affected Fund(s). Interpretations of this Policy shall be made from time to time by the CLO, as needed, and questions regarding the application of this Policy to a specific set of facts are escalated to the CLO.
IV. Authority
Section 406 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act.
V.Monitoring
Adherence to this policy is monitored by the CLO.
VI. |
Related Policies |
|
This Code shall be the sole code of ethics adopted by the Funds for purposes of |
|
Section 406 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act and the rules and forms applicable to |
|
registered investment companies thereunder. Insofar as other policies or procedures |
|
of the Funds, the Funds’ adviser, principal underwriter, or other service providers |
|
govern or purport to govern the behavior or activities of the Covered Officers who |
|
are subject to this Code, they are superseded by this Code to the extent that they |
|
overlap or conflict with the provisions of this Code. The Funds’ and their investment |
|
adviser’s codes of ethics under Rule 17j-1 under the Investment Company Act and |
|
any other codes or policies or procedures adopted by the Funds or their investment |
|
adviser or other service providers are separate requirements and are not part of this |
|
Code. |
VII. |
Amendment |
|
Any amendments to this Code, other than amendments to Exhibit A, must be |
|
approved or ratified by a majority vote of the Board, including a majority of |
|
independent trustees. |
VIII. |
Recordkeeping |
|
All required books, records and other documentation shall be retained in accordance |
|
with MFS’ related record retention policy. |
Additional procedures may need to be implemented by departments to properly comply with this policy.

You should not draw any conclusions about the fund's investment performance from the amount of this distribution or from the terms of the fund's managed distribution plan.
The fund estimates that it has distributed more than its income and capital gains; therefore, a portion of your distribution may be a return of capital. A return of capital may occur, for example, when some or all of the money that you invested in the fund is paid back to you. A return of capital distribution does not necessarily reflect the fund's investment performance and should not be confused with "yield" or "income."
The amounts and sources of distributions reported in this notice are only estimates and are not being provided for tax-reporting purposes. The actual amounts and sources of the amounts for tax-reporting purposes will depend upon the fund's investment experience during the remainder of its fiscal year and may be subject to changes based on tax regulations. The fund will send you a Form 1099-DIV for the calendar year that will tell you how to report these distributions for federal income tax purposes. If you have any questions regarding this information, please call our fund service department at 1-800-637-2304 any business day from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Eastern time.
