About MEMGX
MFS Emerging Markets Equity Fund Class R3 is a mutual fund focused on achieving capital appreciation by investing primarily in the equity securities of companies tied economically to emerging market countries. The fund generally allocates at least 80% of its net assets in these markets and maintains a diversified portfolio that can include firms of all sizes, sometimes concentrating a significant portion of its holdings in specific countries to capture local growth opportunities. With over 100 holdings, the fund is actively managed and demonstrates a relatively high active share versus its benchmark, the MSCI Emerging Markets Index. The strategy combines quantitative analysis of earnings prospects and valuations, emphasizing companies with rising revenues, expanding margins, and increasing cash flows. The fund is designed for eligible investors seeking exposure to the long-term growth potential of emerging economies. Notably, the Class R3 shares do not have an initial sales charge and carry a modest annual 12b-1 fee, aiming to balance returns against expenses.
