MFS Value Fund Class I (MEIIX)

Overview

The fund strives to offer a diversified investment portfolio within the international asset class by primarily allocating its resources across various mutual funds advised by the same adviser, termed as underlying funds. This strategic approach aims to achieve diversification by spreading investments across different market capitalizations, including large, mid, and small-cap underlying funds, incorporating both growth and value investment styles, and spanning various geographies by investing in both developed and emerging market underlying funds. This diversified methodology is designed to minimize risk while seeking to maximize returns on a global scale.
