MFS OVERVIEW
MFS is an investment management firm representing retail and institutional clients worldwide. Founded in 1924, we have a global footprint of investment professionals and manage more than $550 billion in equity and fixed income assets. Our mission is to allocate capital responsibly on behalf of our clients. We engage in that mission by understanding all the financially material factors that may impact the issuers we own.
MFS' ESG integration strategy is not based on creating new products or implementing exclusions. Instead, we conduct rigorous, security-level analysis that allows us to develop a nuanced understanding of the financially material ESG risks and opportunities facing each fixed income or equity issuer. As a result, MFS' sustainability team-which has always been part of our investment team-plays an integral role in each step of the investment decision making process, collaborating with other investment professionals to drive the best long-term outcomes for our clients.
RESPONSIBILITIES

Work closely with other members of the equity and fixed income investment team to prepare for and conduct effective issuer engagements. Enhance integration frameworks in fixed income sub asset classes (e.g. securitized, muni, and sovereign). Communicate with clients and other external parties regarding MFS' equity and fixed income ESG research and stewardship activity. Represent MFS in various sustainability organizations/initiatives. Participate in ad-hoc projects as necessary. CANDIDATE CHARACTERISTICS 10+ years of experience in an investment role with 5-10 years of ESG and Fixed Income experience. CFA or MBA preferred. Demonstrated ability to collaborate with a diverse group of individuals. Strong analytical and project management skills. Ability to work creatively and independently. Demonstrated interest in sustainability.
