About MEQRX
The MFS Global Equity Fund Class R2 is an open-end mutual fund designed to provide capital appreciation by investing primarily in large-cap equities from developed markets worldwide. The fund employs a “growth at a reasonable price” investment strategy, targeting established companies with sustainable growth prospects while maintaining disciplined valuation standards. Its portfolio is typically dominated by large blue-chip stocks, with a diversified allocation between U.S. and international holdings—approximately 54.5% in domestic and 44.8% in foreign equities—offering broad geographic exposure and reducing reliance on any single market. The fund is managed with a long-term investment horizon and aims for a low turnover rate, typically between 5% and 20%, reflecting its careful, patient approach. Benchmarked against the MSCI World Index, it seeks to mirror the performance of developed world equity markets, making it a core holding for investors looking for global diversification within their equity allocation. Class R2 shares are available to eligible investors and feature expense structure reductions through fee waivers and reimbursements until at least early 2026.
