Summary

The four offerings that constitute the MFS target-risk series—Aggressive Growth Allocation, Growth Allocation, Moderate Allocation, and Conservative Allocation—feature a diligent team plying a thoughtful process. The underlying funds have struggled to keep up with peers of late and warrant a close watch, but the long-term prospects of these target-risk funds have not degraded.
