MFS Multimarket Income Trust insider reporting shows that Thomas P. Murphy, identified as a Director of Advisor, has filed an initial ownership report. This Form 3 states that the reporting person does not beneficially own any non-derivative or derivative securities of MFS Multimarket Income Trust as of the event date of 01/01/2026. The filing is made by one reporting person and serves as a baseline disclosure of current holdings, confirming that there are no shares or derivative positions attributed to this insider at this time.
MFS Multimarket Income Trust focuses on high current income from a diversified fixed income portfolio and uses leverage and a managed distribution policy. For the twelve months ended October 31, 2025, the trust delivered a total return of 8.91% at net asset value (NAV) and 8.46% at market price, modestly ahead of its primary benchmark, the Bloomberg U.S. Corporate High-Yield 2% Issuer Capped Index at 8.16%, and slightly above its blended benchmark at 8.43%.
The fund targets a monthly payout equal to 8.00% per year of average monthly NAV. Over the period, distributions under this policy included $14,468,510 of ordinary income and $7,706,940 treated as tax return of capital, which reduces total assets and can increase the expense ratio. The portfolio emphasizes below-investment-grade credit, with large exposures to high yield corporates and emerging markets, an average duration of 5.0 and average effective maturity of 7.0 years.
The trust employs borrowing; line of credit leverage was 25.41% of total assets at a 5.44% effective interest rate, requiring a portfolio return of 1.38% (net of expenses) to cover interest. Leverage amplified returns during the year but also increases NAV volatility and the risk of larger losses in weaker markets. Extensive risk disclosures highlight credit, interest rate, emerging markets, liquidity, derivatives, and market discount/premium risks, as well as the potential long-term impact of the managed distribution plan.
MFS Investment Management plans a major reorganization of its NYSE-listed closed-end funds, including MFS Charter Income Trust (MCR), subject to shareholder approval. Seven MFS closed-end funds are proposed to be merged into two existing funds, with MCR, MGF, MIN, and CIF combining into MFS Multimarket Income Trust (MMT), and CXE, CMU, and CXH combining into MFS Municipal Income Trust (MFM). If shareholders of MFM and MMT approve, abrdn Inc. will become investment adviser to both funds and they will be renamed Aberdeen Municipal Income Fund and Aberdeen Multi-Market Income Fund, with new Aberdeen trustees replacing current trustees for those funds.
Shareholders of record as of December 11, 2025 will receive proxy materials in late January 2026 and may vote electronically, by mail, or in person at a special meeting tentatively set for March 11, 2026. The reorganization is intended to qualify as a tax-free reorganization, and completion is targeted for June 2026 if the proposals are approved.
