MFS Investment Management

General description of organisation

In 1924, MFS launched the first US open-end mutual fund, opening the door to the markets for millions of everyday investors. Today, as a full-service global investment manager serving financial advisors, intermediaries and institutional clients, MFS still serves a single purpose: to create long-term value for clients by allocating capital responsibly. That takes our powerful investment approach combining collective expertise, thoughtful risk management and long-term discipline. Supported by our culture of shared values and collaboration, our teams of diverse thinkers actively debate ideas and assess material risks to uncover what we believe are the best investment opportunities in the market.

Reason for membership with SSF

MFS Investment Management has a rich and long history as a true long-term investor going back to 1924. Our purpose is to create value by allocating capital responsibly on behalf of our clients over the long-term. For MFS Investment Management long-term investing and sustainability are two sides of the same coin, as one cannot be investing with a real long time horizon in mind and neglect sustainability issues at the same time. MFS Investment Management integrates all material ESG factors fully across the capital structure. As a member of Swiss Sustainable Finance we aim to be a constructive partner in discussions to further the all-important sustainability dialogue in Switzerland with like-minded asset owners and other service providers
