About MEICX

MFS Value Fund Class C is an actively managed mutual fund specializing in value-oriented equity investments. Its primary objective is capital appreciation, achieved by focusing on established companies that the fund's managers consider undervalued relative to their intrinsic worth. The fund mainly allocates its assets among large-cap U.S. stocks, regularly seeking out firms trading at low prices compared to metrics such as earnings, dividends, or asset value. While its core investments are in domestic equities, the portfolio may also contain a modest allocation to foreign securities, enhancing diversification. A hallmark of the fund is its emphasis on fundamental, bottom-up research, leveraging MFS Investment Management’s central research team to identify securities with potential for price appreciation yet limited downside risk. The strategy entails rigorous analysis of financial stability, cash flows, and management quality, using a long-term investment horizon and patient approach. MFS Value Fund Class C is commonly recognized within the large-value category and often maintains sector diversification, though it may concentrate holdings in specific industries when market conditions warrant. This fund serves investors seeking exposure to established, attractively priced companies across multiple sectors while prioritizing risk management and consistent, research-driven execution.
