MFS Investment Management invented the mutual fund in 1924. MIT, or Massachusetts Investors Trust, the nation’s first open-end mutual fund, provided stock market access to all Americans who wanted to invest for a home, their children’s education and their future. Through the open-end mutual fund, what had previously been only available to the wealthy became accessible to everyone. Forbes Magazine identified the creation of Massachusetts Investors Trust in 1924 as “a business breakthrough that changed our lives in a profound way” in its 85th anniversary issue, December 23, 2002.
