About MDIZX
The MFS International Diversification Fund Class R6 is an open-end mutual fund designed for investors seeking capital appreciation through broad exposure to international equity markets. This fund employs a multi-manager, multi-strategy approach by allocating assets across six underlying MFS-managed international stock funds. These underlying funds cover a range of investment styles—growth and value—as well as market capitalizations, from large to small cap companies. The portfolio is strategically diversified across both developed and emerging markets, aiming to efficiently balance risk and opportunity through disciplined rebalancing. The fund’s structure seeks to deliver the benefits of international diversification by blending different regions and sectors outside the United States, tracking to a benchmark such as the MSCI All Country World (ex-US) Index. With a substantial asset base and a relatively low expense ratio for its category, it is geared toward institutional and retirement plan investors. Class R6 shares are offered without a sales charge to eligible investors, making it an accessible option for comprehensive foreign equity exposure within a single investment vehicle.
