Why consider investing in a global balanced fund?

Seeks diversification• Stocks and bonds• Geographic • Rebalancing

Potentially competitive risk-adjusted returns

• Strategic long term allocation: combining assets with low correlations can help reduce risk and potentially enhance return

• A total return strategy: growth and income• Equity component designed to be the main driver of long-term performance• Fixed income component designed to help reduce volatility• Moderate risk/reward profile: seeks relatively low volatility vs. a pure equity fund

Can serve as a foundation of a portfolio “Hub and spoke” – add other investments to reflect clients’ risk profile

Could be an option for suitableinvestors seeking:

• Global diversification• Long-term capital appreciation• A fairly conservative way to participate in the stock market’s potential upside

Important risk considerationsStock markets and investments in individual stocks are volatile and can decline significantly in response to issuer, market, economic, industry, political, regulatory, geopolitical, and other conditions. Investments in debt instruments may decline in value as the result of declines in the credit quality of the issuer, borrower, counterparty, or other entity responsible for payment, underlying collateral, or changes in economic, political, issuer-specific, or other conditions. Certain types of debt instruments can be more sensitive to these factors and therefore more volatile. In addition, debt instruments entail interest rate risk (as interest rates rise, prices usually fall), therefore the Fund’s share price may decline during rising rates. Funds that consist of debt instruments with longer durations are generally more sensitive to a rise in interest rates than those with shorter durations. At times, and particularly during periods of market turmoil, all or a large portion of segments of the market may not have an active trading market. As a result, it may be difficult to value these investments and it may not be possible to sell a particular investment or type of investment at any particular time or at an acceptable price. Emerging markets can have less market structure, depth, and regulatory, custodial or operational oversight and greater political, social, and economic instability than developed markets. Investments in small-cap companies can be more volatile than investments in larger companies. Investments in growth companies can be more sensitive to the company’s earnings and more volatile than the stock market in general.1 Diversification does not assure a profit or guarantee against a loss.

Everyone wants to be in the best-performing asset class every year. The thing is, few people are savvy enough to choose the best consistently. That’s why diversification is key. This chart shows annual returns for seven broad-based asset classes, cash, and a diversified portfolio, ranked from best to worst. Notice how the “leadership” changes.

Standard deviation reflects a portfolio’s total return volatility, which is based on a minimum of 36 monthly returns. The larger the portfolio’s standard deviation, the greater the portfolio’s volatility.** Diversified portfolio assets are rebalanced at the end of every quarter so that they remain equally distributed among the segments.

Risk

The fund may not achieve its objective and/or you could lose money on your investment in the fund. Stockmarkets and investments in individual stocks are volatile and can decline significantly in response to issuer,market, economic, industry, political, regulatory, geopolitical, and other conditions. Investments in debtinstruments may decline in value as the result of declines in the credit quality of the issuer, borrower,counterparty, or other entity responsible for payment, underlying collateral, or changes in economic, political,issuer-specific, or other conditions. Certain types of debt instruments can be more sensitive to these factorsand therefore more volatile. In addition, debt instruments entail interest rate risk (as interest rates rise, pricesusually fall), therefore the Fund's share price may decline during rising rates. Funds that consist of debtinstruments with longer durations are generally more sensitive to a rise in interest rates than those with shorterdurations. At times, and particularly during periods of market turmoil, all or a large portion of segments of themarket may not have an active trading market. As a result, it may be difficult to value these investments and itmay not be possible to sell a particular investment or type of investment at any particular time or at anacceptable price. Investments in value companies can continue to be undervalued for long periods of time, notrealize their expected value, and be more volatile than the stock market in general. Please see the prospectusfor further information on these and other risk considerations

Disciplined investment approach

Investment objectiveTotal return, measured in U.S. dollars. The Fund invests in a combination of equity securities and debtinstruments of issuers located in developed and emerging market countries.

Goal Outperform blended benchmark, the 60% MSCI World Index/40% Barclays Global Aggregate Index (USD).Achieve a competitive ranking in relevant peer universes over full market cycles.

Philosophy A moderate allocation of 60% global large cap value stocks and 40% global investment grade bonds willachieve attractive risk adjusted results over time.

StrategyTaking a conservative approach to security selection MFS’ research driven approach seeks to add valueprimarily through bottom-up stock selection within the equity portion and through top-down country selectionand currency management in the fixed income allocation.
