Summary

MFS Growth is undergoing a management transition, but its team and investment process remain assets here. The portfolio is in a structurally better position now, as well. In 2025, shareholders approved a shift to nondiversified status, meaning the portfolio can become more concentrated, which gives the managers much-needed flexibility against the seemingly ever-consolidating Russell 1000 Growth index.
