Colonial FirstChoice - MFS Global Equity - Managed Fund

Fund Objective
MFS' philosophy is based on the belief that companies with durable above-average growth and return prospects, which are not reflected in their valuation, will outperform over the long run. The value of compounding high returns on capital and above-average growth rates over long time periods is often underestimated by the market. Through fundamental analysis, MFS seeks to identify enduring businesses, focusing on operational risks and the long-term potential for change. This option does not typically hedge currency risk.
