MFS International New Discovery remains an attractive foreign small/mid-cap vehicle for the long haul. Its three cheapest share classes retain their Morningstar Analyst Ratings of Silver; the A and R3 share classes are downgraded to Bronze from Silver owing to changes in the competitive landscape in its Morningstar Category peer group; and its four priciest share classes stay at Bronze. The strategy remains closed to most new investors.
