In 1924, MFS launched the first US open-end mutual fund, opening the door to the markets for millions of everyday investors. Today, as a full-service global investment manager serving financial advisors, intermediaries and institutional clients, MFS still serves a single purpose: to create long-term value by allocating capital responsibly. Supported by a culture of shared values and collaboration, our teams of diverse thinkers actively debate ideas and assess material risks to uncover what we believe are the best investment opportunities in the market. 
 
We believe that incorporating ESG into our investment process is integral to skilled asset management and an essential part of our ability to achieve our clients' objectives. Our goal is for ESG considerations to impact our investment decision-making process in every instance that such factors could materially affect the long-term value of an issuer. Facilitated by our robust ESG integration framework, carefully considered proxy voting policies and thoughtful issuer engagement, we are entirely convinced that this approach improves our ability to achieve our clients’ objectives and fulfil our fiduciary duty.
