| Investment Objective & Strategy |
|
| The investment seeks total return.
|
|
| MFS normally invests at least 80% of the fund's net assets in securities of issuers in the utilities industry. Issuers in the utilities industry include issuers engaged in the manufacture, production, generation, transmission, sale or distribution of electric, gas or other types of energy, water or other sanitary services; and issuers engaged in telecommunications. MFS primarily invests the fund's assets in equity securities, but may also invest in debt instruments, including below investment grade quality debt instruments. |
|
|
| Morningstar Category: Utilities |
|
| Utilities portfolios seek capital appreciation by investing primarily in equity securities of U.S. or non-U.S. public utilities including electric, gas, and telephone-service providers.
|
|
|
| Sector Funds: Funds that invest exclusively in one sector or industry involve risks due to the lack of industry diversification and expose the investor to increased industry-specific risks. |
