MFS Investment Management, the Boston-headquartered investment manager, has launched two funds aiming to meet what it sees as growing demand from advisors and investors for "diversified, outcome-oriented, single-fund investment opportunities." The MFS Global Multi-Asset Fund and the MFS Absolute Return Fund are part of the firm’s line of asset allocation funds, the former to be managed by the firm’s quantitative solutions team lead by Natalie Shapiro, Benjamin Nastou and Linda Zhang, and the latter by James Calmas. "More and more, investors are looking for investment solutions that have the potential to provide attractive risk-adjusted returns in all environments with less volatility than the market,” said James Jessee, president of MFS Fund Distributors, the US mutual fund sales division of MFS. MFS is a money management firm with investment offices in Boston, London, Mexico City, Singapore, Sydney, and Tokyo.
