MFS Hedged Global Equity Trust Wholesale - Managed Fund

Fund Objective
The Trust aims to seek capital appreciation over the longer term by investing in an underlying fund, the MFS Global Equity Trust, which itself has a diversified portfolio of global shares. The Trust is hedged and aims to outperform its Benchmark over full market cycle, before taking into account fees, taxes and expenses.
Fund Strategy
In selecting investments for the Trust, MFS is not constrained by any particular investment style. MFS may invest the Trust's assets in the stocks of companies it believes to have above average earnings growth potential compared to other companies (growth companies), in the stocks of companies it believes are undervalued compared to their perceived worth (value companies), or in a combination of growth and value companies. MFS uses an active bottom-up investment approach to buying and selling investments for the Trust.
