About MFEJX

MFS Growth Fund Class R4 is an actively managed mutual fund focused on achieving long-term capital appreciation through investments primarily in equity securities. The fund targets growth-oriented companies, emphasizing businesses with the potential for sustained, above-average earnings growth—often those with competitive advantages, high market entry barriers, pricing power, and the ability to expand margins. While the portfolio may hold stocks across various sectors and company sizes, it predominantly invests in large-cap U.S. enterprises, several of which are leaders in the technology, consumer cyclical, and financial services industries. The fund employs a bottom-up, fundamentally driven investment process, complemented by selective quantitative screening to identify promising issuers. With no initial sales charge for Class R4 shares and a competitive net expense ratio, MFS Growth Fund Class R4 serves as a core growth holding for retirement and institutional investors seeking exposure to high-growth equities within the large-cap segment of the U.S. market.
