Summary

MFS Government Securities, also sold in the cross-border market under MFS Meridian US Government Bond, boasts an experienced and knowledgeable management team and growing analyst resources. Still, its supporting bench is leaner than competitors' and it hasn't achieved a consistent edge over its benchmark or peers. It earns a Morningstar Medalist Rating of Neutral on its cheaper share classes, while its most expensive share classes are rated Negative.
