MFS Value
Historical Performance
Objective And Strategy
ObjectiveThe fund’s investment objective is to seek capital appreciation. The fund's objective may be changed without shareholder approval.
Strategy
MFS normally invests the fund’s assets primarily in equity securities. MFS focuses on investing the fund's assets in the stocks of companies that it believes are undervalued compared to their perceived worth (value companies). Value companies tend to have stock prices that are low relative to their earnings, dividends, assets, or other financial measures. While MFS may invest the fund’s assets in companies of any size, MFS primarily invests in companies with large capitalizations. MFS may invest the fund’s assets in foreign securities. MFS uses a bottom-up investment approach to buying and selling investments for the fund. Investments are selected primarily based on fundamental analysis of individual issuers and their potential in light of their financial condition, and market, economic, political, and regulatory conditions. Factors considered may include analysis of an issuer’s earnings, cash flows, competitive position, and management ability. Quantitative models that systematically evaluate an issuer’s valuation, price and earnings momentum, earnings quality, and other factors may also be considered.
