Analyst Note

MFS has announced that co-CIO of fixed income Bill Adams will retire from the firm effective Sept. 30, 2024. Adams was sole fixed-income CIO at MFS until March 1, 2023, when Pilar Gomez-Bravo and Alexander Mackey joined him as co-CIOs and the trio started to share responsibilities. The shift to a co-CIO structure was intended to support strong communication and collaboration across a growing worldwide team and provide continuity over the longer term. At that stage, Adams had not shared any retirement plans.
