About MVGAX
MFS Low Volatility Global Equity Fund Class A is a globally diversified mutual fund designed to seek capital appreciation while aiming for lower volatility than the broader equity market. The fund actively invests in a blend of U.S. and international stocks, including exposure to both developed and emerging markets, typically spanning at least three different countries. It employs a distinctive strategy that combines fundamental and quantitative research to assess company valuation and risk. This research-driven approach targets stocks across growth and value styles and all market capitalizations, with an emphasis on securities exhibiting historically lower volatility. The fund’s portfolio is constructed to be defensively positioned and diversified across sectors and regions, yet it may concentrate holdings in certain industries or countries when relevant. Its benchmark is the MSCI All Country World Index, reflecting its commitment to global equity exposure. Managed with an active, bottom-up selection process, it aims to provide a smoother return profile relative to traditional global equity funds, appealing to investors who prioritize risk management and steady growth potential in their international equity allocations.
