MFS Mid Cap Value R6 dividend targets income from a portfolio of medium market capitalization equity securities, benchmarked against the Russell Midcap Value Index. The fund currently yields 1.43%, with a trailing annual dividend rate of $0.26 per share paid on an annual basis. MVCKX focuses on value-oriented mid-cap equities, which shapes both the yield level and the growth profile of its distributions. Growth-oriented income investors are the natural fit here, given the fund's 11.3% dividend CAGR over the past decade.
MFS Mid Cap Value R6 dividend safety is not applicable (fund/ETF) in the traditional payout ratio sense. The dividend level depends on the aggregate distributions generated by the underlying mid-cap value equity holdings, which fluctuate with market conditions and portfolio composition. The history table shows multiple years with year-over-year declines, including a drop from $1.3204 in 2018 to $0.5911 in 2019, which reflects the variable nature of equity fund distributions rather than a structural cut.
MFS Mid Cap Value R6 dividend history shows a CAGR of 11.3% per year from 2013 to 2024. Per-share distributions grew from $1.0785 to $3.4928 over that window (2025 is a partial year and excluded from the CAGR calculation). The largest annual increase in the window was 83.0% in 2024, which reflects the lumpy, equity-driven nature of MVCKX distributions rather than a smooth upward trend.
| Period | CAGR | From | To |
|---|---|---|---|
| 3-Year | +19.1% | $1.53 (2022) | $2.58 (2025) |
| 10-Year | +10.8% | $0.93 (2015) | $2.58 (2025) |
MVCKX fits growth-and-income investors who prioritize dividend growth over current yield from a mid-cap value equity fund. The yield is low (below 2%) at 1.43%, and no 5-year average yield is available for direct comparison. What the fund offers instead is a 11.3% annual growth rate in distributions over 11 years, a meaningful figure for investors willing to accept year-to-year variability. The trade-off is clear: MFS Mid Cap Value R6 delivers long-run distribution growth, but income in any single year can swing sharply depending on the underlying portfolio's realized gains and dividends.
