Summary

MFS Global New Discovery effectively leverages the firm’s extensive research resources in this well-executed global small- and mid-cap equity strategy. The four comanagers—Peter Fruzzetti, Michael Grossman, Sandeep Mehta, and Eric Braz—were all promoted internally from analyst roles, reflecting MFS’ strong development culture. They offer broad sector expertise, deep industry knowledge, and the ability to draw on a global platform of circa 75 analysts. Portfolio construction is a shared responsibility, but each manager contributes distinct insights. Fruzzetti and Grossman bring long tenure, while Mehta and Braz joined at the end of 2019. Decisions are made unanimously, ensuring only the team’s highest-conviction ideas advance.
