MFS LOW VOLATILITY EQUITY FUND Q3 18 Important Risk Considerations The fund may not achieve its objective and/or you could lose money on your investment in the fund. 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, and other conditions. This is no assurance that the fund will be less volatile than the Index over the long term or for any year or period of years. The fund's strategy to invest in equity securities with historically lower volatility may not produce the intended results if, in general, the historical volatility of an equity security is not a good predictor of the future volatility of that equity security, and/or if the specific equity securities held by the fund become more volatile than expected. In addition, the fund's strategy to blend fundamental and quantitative research may not produce the intended results, and MFS fundamental research is not available for all issuers. It is expected that the fund will generally underperform the equity markets during periods of strong, rising equity markets. MFS' investment analysis, its development and use of quantitative models, and its selection of investments may not produce the intended results and/or can lead to an investment focus that results in the fund underperforming other funds with similar investment strategies and/or underperforming the markets in which the fund invests. Investments selected using quantitative models may not produce the intended results due to the factors used in the models, the weight placed on each factor in the models, changing sources of market return, and technical issues in the design, development, implementation, and maintenance of the models (e.g., incomplete or inaccurate data, programming or other software issues, and technology failures). Please see the prospectus for further information on these and other risk considerations. AVERAGE ANNUAL TOTAL RETURNS (%) AS OF 9/30/18 Inception date 1 yr. 3 yr. 5 yr.
