Fund Description

p style="font-size:11.0pt; font-family:Arial; text-align:left; color:#000000; font-weight:bold; text-decoration:none;"Effective June 10, 2026, the following paragraph is added as the first paragraph of this sub-section:/pp style="font-size:10.0pt; font-family:Serif; font-style:normal; text-align:left; color:#000000; font-weight:normal; text-decoration:none;"MFS (Massachusetts Financial Services Company, the fund's investment adviser) normally invests at least 80% of the fund’s net assets in growth companies. Growth companies are companies that MFS believes have above average potential with respect to the rate and duration of earnings growth compared to other companies. MFS considers a number of factors when determining a company’s growth potential, including whether (i) the issuer is included in an index that is representative of growth companies; (ii) the issuer is classified as a growth company by an independent third party financial data provider; and/or (iii) the issuer exhibits the characteristics of a growth company, considering metrics such as historical and/or projected growth rates relative to the applicable equity market. Growth companies tend to have stock prices that are high relative to their earnings, dividends, book value, or other financial measures. /pp style="font-size:10.0pt; font-family:Serif; font-style:normal; text-align:left; color:#000000; font-weight:normal; text-decoration:none;"MFS normally invests the fund’s assets primarily in equity securities. Equity securities include common stocks, depositary receipts, and other securities that represent an ownership interest (or right to acquire an ownership interest) in a company or other issuer./pp style="font-size:11.0pt; font-family:Arial; text-align:left; color:#000000; font-weight:bold; text-decoration:none;"Effective June 10, 2026, the following sentence is deleted in its entirety:/pp style="font-size:10.0pt; font-family:Serif; font-style:normal; text-align:left; color:#000000; font-weight:normal; text-decoration:none;"MFS focuses on investing the fund’s assets in the stocks of companies it believes have above average potential with respect to the rate and duration of earnings growth compared to other companies (growth companies)./pp style="font-size:10.0pt; font-family:Serif; font-style:normal; text-align:left; color:#000000; font-weight:normal; text-decoration:none;"While MFS may invest the fund’s assets in securities of companies of any size, MFS primarily invests in securities of companies with large capitalizations./pp style="font-size:10.0pt; font-family:Serif; font-style:normal; text-align:left; color:#000000; font-weight:normal; text-decoration:none;"MFS may invest the fund’s assets in foreign securities. /pp style="font-size:10.0pt; font-family:Serif; font-style:normal; text-align:left; color:#000000; font-weight:normal; text-decoration:none;"MFS normally invests the fund's assets across different industries and sectors, but MFS may invest a significant percentage of the fund's assets in issuers in a single industry or sector./pp style="font-size:10.0pt; font-family:Serif; font-style:normal; text-align:left; color:#000000; font-weight:normal; text-decoration:none;"The fund is a non-diversified fund. This means that MFS may invest a significant percentage of the fund’s assets in a single issuer or a small number of issuers. /pp style="font-size:10.0pt; font-family:Serif; font-style:normal; text-align:left; color:#000000; font-weight:normal; text-decoration:none;"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 screening tools that systematically evaluate issuers may also be considered./pp style="font-size:11.0pt; font-family:Arial; text-align:left; color:#000000; font-weight:bold; text-decoration:none;"Effective June 10, 2026, the following sentence is added as the last paragraph of this sub-section:/pp style="font-size:10.0pt; font-family:Serif; font-style:normal; text-align:left; color:#000000; font-weight:normal; text-decoration:none;"For purposes of the fund's 80% policy, net assets include the amount of any borrowings for investment purposes./p
