The funds investment objective is to seek capital appreciation.
The fund invests at least 80% of assets in foreign equity securities selected through bottom-up fundamental analysis, with no constraint on investment style, company size, or sector concentration. MFS may hold a significant percentage in a single industry, sector, country, or region. Because the fund's performance depends on the success of individual security selections rather than tracking an index, divergence from any peer benchmark will reflect the manager's stock-picking decisions.

How it has done
MIEIX share class · total returns with dividends reinvested
Volatility over the last 12 months: 11.90%. Past returns are a record, not a forecast.
Jun 2026 has been filed since the trailing figures were struck, so it is not in the table above or the curve — every figure here shares one cut-off, which is what makes them comparable with other funds.
The 3 share classes hold the same portfolio
| Share class | Expense ratio | 1 year | 3 years | 5 years | Worst fall |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 0.64% | +11.30% | +45.02% | +42.02% | -10.06% | |
| 0.98% | +10.94% | +43.60% | — | -10.14% | |
| 0.73% | +11.22% | +44.70% | — | -10.10% |
These classes hold the same portfolio, so the 1.43pp spread over 3 years is the cost difference between them — roughly 0.48pp a year — not a difference in what they own.
