About MGRCX
The MFS International Growth Fund Class C is a diversified mutual fund that primarily invests in the equity securities of companies located outside the United States. Its core objective is to achieve capital appreciation over the long term by identifying high-quality non-U.S. businesses exhibiting above-average growth potential. Employing a multi-cap approach, the fund targets companies with robust fundamentals, sustainable competitive advantages, and reasonable valuations. The fund’s portfolio spans developed and emerging markets, reflecting a broad exposure to global growth opportunities, and is benchmarked against the MSCI All Country World (ex-US) Growth Index. Notably, its largest holdings often include industry leaders in sectors such as technology, healthcare, industrials, and consumer goods. Class C shares offer a level load structure, featuring no front-end sales charge but imposing a contingent deferred sales charge on early redemptions. With a relatively low portfolio turnover and an emphasis on long-term investment horizons, the fund serves investors seeking international diversification and participation in global growth trends through carefully selected equity investments.
