Fund Description
MFS (Massachusetts Financial Services Company, the fund's investment adviser) normally invests at least 80% of the fund’s net assets in stocks. Stocks include common stocks and other securities that represent an ownership interest (or right to acquire an ownership interest) in a company or other issuer.
Effective June 10, 2026, the paragraph directly above is restated in its entirety with the following paragraph:
MFS (Massachusetts Financial Services Company, the fund’s investment adviser) normally invests at least 80% of the fund’s net assets in stocks of growth companies. Growth companies are companies that MFS believes have above average earnings growth potential 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. Stocks include common stocks and other securities that represent an ownership interest (or right to acquire an ownership interest) in a company or other issuer.
Effective June 10, 2026, the following sentence is deleted in its entirety:
MFS focuses on investing the fund’s 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 fund’s assets in securities of companies of any size, MFS primarily invests in securities of companies with large capitalizations.
MFS may invest the fund’s assets in foreign securities.
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.
MFS may invest a significant percentage of the fund’s assets in a single issuer or a small number of issuers.
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.
For purposes of the fund's 80% policy, net assets include the amount of any borrowings for investment purposes.
