About MVGBX

MFS Low Volatility Global Equity Fund Class B is a mutual fund designed to seek capital appreciation by investing primarily in a diversified portfolio of global equities. The fund targets a volatility profile lower than that of broad global equity benchmarks, specifically aiming for less fluctuation than the MSCI All Country World Index. It employs a distinctive investment approach that blends both fundamental and quantitative research to evaluate individual stocks, focusing on companies whose valuations appropriately reflect their growth and return prospects while accounting for risk. The portfolio typically includes a broad mix of U.S. and international securities, including exposure to emerging markets, and maintains investments across various industries, sectors, and regions to enhance diversification. Notably, the fund screens out the most volatile stocks and constructs its holdings to maintain defensive characteristics, with the intent to provide long-term growth potential while mitigating extreme downside risk. This role makes it attractive to investors seeking broad equity exposure with an emphasis on risk management and lower volatility within the global equity space.
