About BRUNX
MFS Blended Research Value Equity Fund Class R5 is a mutual fund that seeks to achieve capital appreciation by investing primarily in equity securities. The fund focuses on companies considered undervalued relative to their intrinsic worth, targeting high-quality businesses trading at favorable valuations with the potential for positive catalysts over the long term. Its investment strategy blends both fundamental and quantitative research to construct a diversified portfolio, employing a disciplined, bottom-up approach to stock selection and portfolio optimization. The fund typically invests at least 80% of its net assets in equities, including common stocks, REITs, and other ownership interests, with a particular emphasis on large-cap companies. It may also allocate assets to foreign securities and diversify across various industries and sectors, though significant sector concentrations can occur. The fund is benchmarked against the Russell 1000 Value Index, representing large-cap U.S. value stocks, and aims to deliver returns that track this index while utilizing active management to exploit market inefficiencies. The Class R5 share class is designed for institutional and retirement plan investors and is available without a sales charge to eligible investors.
