Fund profile
As filed in the prospectus · 2026 Q1
The funds investment objective is to seek capital appreciation.
The fund invests primarily in foreign equity securities, emphasizing small- to medium-capitalization growth companies selected through bottom-up fundamental analysis of individual issuers. MFS may invest a significant percentage of assets in a single industry, sector, country, or region, concentrating exposure in ways that could cause the fund to diverge materially from broader foreign equity markets.

These classes hold the same portfolio, so the 6.48pp spread over 5 years is the cost difference between them — roughly 1.30pp a year — not a difference in what they own.
May 2026 and Jun 2026 have been filed since the trailing figures were struck, so they are not in the table above or the curve — every figure here shares one cut-off, which is what makes them comparable with other funds.
