About MKVEX

MFS International Large Cap Value Fund Class R2 is a mutual fund designed to seek capital appreciation by investing primarily in large-cap, high-quality companies outside the United States. As a traditional international value fund, it focuses on identifying attractively valued businesses across developed markets, particularly in Europe, Australasia, and the Far East. The fund employs a long-term investment horizon and a flexible valuation approach, placing significant emphasis on cash flow and returns-based methodologies. A key feature of its strategy is the active management of downside risk across all market environments. The portfolio is benchmarked against the MSCI EAFE Value Index, which includes non-U.S. value stocks. The fund aims to offer investors exposure to a diversified set of international sectors, potentially enhancing portfolio diversification beyond U.S. equities. Class R2 shares are designed for eligible investors and offer access without an initial sales charge, but do carry a higher expense ratio relative to peers. Since its inception in 2020, the fund has accumulated substantial net assets, reflecting its role as a tool for diversified international value exposure within the broader financial markets.
