Sit Investment Associates, an activist investor, has reduced its beneficial ownership in MFS Government Markets Income Trust from 27.9% to 26.8%. This amendment to their Schedule 13D details recent sales totaling over $1 million in early March, with transactions occurring near the company's 52-week low. While the firm maintains a significant stake and continues its activist stance (as indicated by the original 13D filing context regarding opposition to a proposed merger), the reduction in ownership, particularly at lower price points, could signal a shift in strategy or a lack of progress in their activist efforts. Investors should monitor future filings for further changes in their position or updates on their activist campaign.
