With Advisor Workstation, MFS Affiliated Advisors can research MFS mutual funds and variable annuities/life subaccounts using more than 150 data points; Morningstar statistics such as the Morningstar Rating and Morningstar Style Box; build hypothetical illustrations; produce additional client communication materials and tap a flexible needs and risk assessment survey.
