MFS Research International Fund Class C is a mutual fund designed to seek capital appreciation through investments in international equities. It functions as an analyst-run, core international stock fund, broadly diversified across sectors, regions, industries, styles, and market capitalizations, with a focus on company-specific stock selection rather than country-specific allocations. The fund typically holds over 100 issues, featuring a weighted average market cap of approximately $121.6 billion and an active share of 77.01% relative to the MSCI EAFE Index, which benchmarks non-U.S. developed markets in Europe, Australasia, and the Far East. Key valuation metrics include a forward price/earnings ratio of 15.72x and long-term EPS growth projection of 10.14%. Class C shares carry no initial sales charge but impose a 1% contingent deferred sales charge if redeemed within one year. With net assets exceeding $17 billion as of late 2025, it plays a significant role in providing investors exposure to global developed markets outside the U.S., emphasizing fundamental research and quantitative factors for stock selection.
