Important Risk Considerations
The fund may not achieve its objective and/or you could lose money on your investment in the fund.
Stock: Stock markets and investments in individual stocks are volatile and can decline significantly in response to or investor perception of, issuer, market, economic, industry, political, regulatory, geopolitical, environmental, public health, and other conditions.
Emerging Markets: Emerging markets can have less market structure, depth, and regulatory, custodial or operational oversight and greater political, social, geopolitical and economic instability than developed markets.
Real Estate: Real estate-related investments can be volatile because of general, regional, and local economic conditions, fluctuations in interest rates and property tax rates; shifts in zoning laws, environmental regulation and other governmental actions; increased operation expenses; lack of availability of mortgage funds; losses due to natural disasters; changes in property values and rental rates; overbuilding; losses due to casualty or condemnation, cash flows; the management skill and creditworthiness of the REIT manager, and other factors.
Strategy: The portfolio's strategy to blend fundamental and quantitative research may not produce the intended results. In addition, MFS fundamental research is not available for all issuers.
Quantitative Strategy: MFS' investment analysis, development and use of quantitative models, and selection of investments may not produce the intended results and/or can lead to an investment focus that results in underperforming portfolios with similar investment strategies and/or the markets in which the portfolio invests. The proprietary and third party quantitative models used by MFS may not produce the intended results for a variety of reasons, including the factors used, the weight placed on each factor, changing sources of market return, changes from the market factors' historical trends, and technical issues in the development, application, and maintenance of the models (e.g., incomplete or inaccurate data, programming/software issues, coding errors and technology failures).
Please see the prospectus for further information on these and other risk considerations.

8.01 - Performance results reflect ongoing charges and any applicable expense subsidies and waivers in effect during the periods shown. All historic results assume distributions within the fund and/or the share class are reinvested.
Past performance is not a reliable indicator for future results. All financial investments involve an element of risk. The value of investments may rise and fall so you may get back less than originally invested.
Investors should consider the risks, including lower returns, related to currency movements between their investing currency and the portfolio's base currency, if different.

Dividend Rate per Share is the amount of dividend that a shareholder will receive for each share held. It can be calculated by taking the total amount of dividends paid and dividing it by the total shares outstanding.
Dividend Reinvestment at NAV is the automatic reinvestment of shareholder dividends in more shares at net asset value.
Ex-Dividend Date is the date on which a fund goes ex-dividend. The interval between the announcement and the payment of the next dividend. An investor must own the fund before the ex-dividend date to be eligible for the dividend payout.
