MFS International Intrinsic Value Fund Class C (MGICX)

Overview

The company operates as an investment fund, focusing on allocating its assets predominantly in foreign equity securities, which includes both emerging market equities and equity securities from developed markets.

The fund's investment strategy is spearheaded by an advisory team that concentrates on selecting stocks of companies assessed as undervalued in comparison to their perceived intrinsic value. This approach is underpinned by a detailed analysis of various factors that might affect the value of these equities, aiming to capitalize on the potential for significant returns for its investors by focusing on value investing in international markets.
