About BRUHX
MFS Blended Research Value Equity Fund I Shares is an actively managed mutual fund focused on large-cap value equities. The fund’s primary objective is capital appreciation, achieved by investing at least 80% of its net assets in equity securities such as common stocks, depositary receipts, and equity interests—including real estate investment trusts. Its strategy is distinguished by a disciplined blend of fundamental and quantitative research. Portfolio construction incorporates a bottom-up analysis that combines qualitative assessments of company fundamentals with quantitative metrics to identify stocks trading below their perceived intrinsic value. The fund emphasizes investments in high-quality, undervalued companies—primarily those with large market capitalizations—seeking to capture returns across diverse sectors and industries. While the fund’s holdings are widely spread, it maintains the flexibility to overweight certain sectors based on research-driven convictions. As of its latest reporting, MFS Blended Research Value Equity Fund I Shares holds over 100 equities and is benchmarked against the Russell 1000 Value Index, with portfolio risk managed to maintain a targeted tracking error relative to this index. The fund is notable for its moderate expense ratio and annual dividend payouts, positioning it as a key vehicle for investors seeking exposure to U.S. value equities through an integrated research process.
