Investment Objectives

While not guaranteed, is to outperform the blended composite of 75% S&P/TSX Capped Composite (Total Return) plus 25% Morgan Stanley Capital International (MSCI) All Country World Index (Net Dividends Reinvested), unhedged, measured in Canadian Dollars, over a full market cycle, typically defined as three to five years, and to achieve a competitive ranking against relevant peer universe over the same period.

Investment Strategy

To seek capital appreciation by focusing investment in Canadian companies that offer either good relative value or strong earnings growth, in combination with financial strength and a sustainable business model. The Fund may also invest a portion of the portfolio in high-quality global (non-Canadian) companies that represent high conviction ideas of the global research sector teams MFS considers an issuer to be Canadian if it is domiciled in, or has economic ties to, Canada.
