About MUEAX
The MFS Blended Research Core Equity Fund Class A is an actively managed mutual fund designed to seek capital appreciation by primarily investing in equity securities of large-cap companies. Its distinctive approach blends fundamental analysis from experienced research professionals with quantitative models, integrating diverse perspectives in portfolio construction. This dual research process aims to identify high-quality companies trading at compelling valuations, with an emphasis on those exhibiting catalysts for long-term performance. While not tied to a single investment style, the fund allocates assets across both growth and value stocks, maintaining flexibility to adapt to changing market conditions. It typically invests at least 80% of its net assets in equities, including common stocks and similar securities, and can also hold foreign issuers, providing broad sector and diversification exposure. The fund’s holdings are benchmarked against the Standard & Poor’s 500 Index, and its portfolio often features significant allocations to leading technology, consumer, and healthcare companies. Managed by a seasoned team at MFS Investment Management, the fund plays a role as a diversified U.S. large-cap core equity strategy for investors seeking disciplined, research-driven exposure to the equity market.
