Investment objective
The funds investment objective is to seek capital appreciation.
Principal investment strategy
MFS (Massachusetts Financial Services Company, the funds investment adviser) normally invests the funds assets primarily in foreign equity securities, including emerging market equity securities. Equity securities include common stocks and other securities that represent an ownership interest (or right to acquire an ownership interest) in a company or other issuer. MFS focuses on investing the funds assets in the stocks of companies it believes to have above average earnings growth potential compared to other companies (growth companies). While MFS may invest the funds assets in securities of companies of any size, MFS primarily invests in securities of companies with small to medium capitalizations. MFS normally invests the funds assets across different industries, sectors, countries, and regions, but MFS may invest a significant percentage of the funds assets in issuers in a single industry, sector, country, or region.
MFS uses an active bottom-up investment approach to buying and selling investments for the fund. Investments are selected primarily based on fundamental analysis of individual issuers. Quantitative models that systematically evaluate issuers may also be considered.
