    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.

    International: Investments in foreign markets can involve greater risk and volatility than U.S. investments because of adverse market, currency, economic, industry, political, regulatory, geopolitical, or other conditions.

    Derivatives: Investments in derivatives can be used to take both long and short positions, be highly volatile, involve leverage (which can magnify losses), and involve risks in addition to the risks of the underlying indicator(s) on which the derivative is based, such as counterparty and liquidity risk.

    Strategy: The fund's strategy to reduce its exposure to the equity and/or currency markets represented by the underlying funds and to potentially expose the fund to asset classes and/or markets in which the underlying funds have little or no exposure may not produce the intended results. In addition, the strategies MFS may implement to limit the fund's exposure to certain extreme market events may not work as intended, and the costs associated with such strategies will reduce the fund's returns. It is expected that the fund will generally underperform the equity markets during periods of strong, rising equity markets.

    Underlying Funds: MFS' strategy of investing in underlying funds exposes the fund to the risks of the underlying funds. Each underlying fund pursues its own objective and strategies and may not achieve its objective.  In addition, shareholders of the fund will indirectly bear the fees and expenses of the underlying funds.

    Please see the prospectus for further information on these and other risk considerations.

      Distributions
      The Record Date is the date on which a fund declares a distribution. To receive the distribution, an investor must be a shareholder of record on that date.

      The Payable Date is the date on which the distribution is paid to shareholders.

      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.

      Short-term Capital Gain For tax purposes the profit realized from the sale of securities or other capital assets held for less than 12 months. Short-term gains are taxable at ordinary income rates to the extent they are not reduced by offsetting capital losses. (Source: Barron's Dictionary of Finance and Investment Terms)

      MORNINGSTAR RATINGS

      The fund's overall Morningstar Rating measures are based on risk-adjusted returns as of 03/31/24.

      The Morningstar Rating for funds, or "star rating", is calculated for funds with at least a three-year history. Exchange-traded funds and open-ended mutual funds are considered a single population for comparative purposes. It is calculated based on a Morningstar Risk-Adjusted Return measure that accounts for variation in a fund's monthly excess performance, placing more emphasis on downward variations and rewarding consistent performance. The top 10% of products in each product category receive 5 stars, the next 22.5% receive 4 stars, the next 35% receive 3 stars, the next 22.5% receive 2 stars, and the bottom 10% receive 1 star. The Overall Morningstar Rating for a fund is derived from a weighted average of the performance figures associated with its three-, five-, and 10-year (if applicable) Morningstar Rating metrics. The weights are: 100% three-year rating for 36-59 months of total returns, 60% five-year rating/40% three-year rating for 60-119 months of total returns, and 50% 10-year rating/30% five-year rating/20% three-year rating for 120 or more months of total returns. While the 10-year overall star rating formula seems to give the most weight to the 10-year period, the most recent three-year period actually has the greatest impact because it is included in all three rating periods.

      Morningstar rankings may vary among share classes and are based on historical total returns, which are not indicative of future results. Class A share star ratings do not include any front-end sales load and are intended for those investors who have access to such purchase terms (e.g., plan participants of a defined contribution plan). Therefore, Morningstar strongly encourages investors to contact their investment professional to determine whether they are eligible to purchase the A share without paying the front load.
