Description: CIF MFS Intermediate High Income January 05, 2026
The MFS Intermediate High Income Closed Fund (NYSE:CIF) is a U.S.-based high-yield bond fund that seeks to generate current income by investing primarily in below-investment-grade corporate debt with an intermediate-term focus.
Key metrics as of the latest quarter show a distribution yield around **5.5%**, an **average portfolio duration of roughly 7 years**, and a **weighted-average credit rating near BB-**, indicating exposure to higher-risk credit but with a bias toward relatively higher-quality issuers within the high-yield space. The fund’s top sector allocations typically include **energy, consumer discretionary, and financials**, which are sensitive to **commodity price trends, consumer spending cycles, and interest-rate dynamics**.
Given the fund’s performance is closely tied to **Fed policy moves, inflation expectations, and the shape of the credit spread curve**, investors should monitor upcoming monetary-policy meetings and macro-economic data releases that could shift the risk-premium demanded by high-yield investors.
