†Risk Considerations:Stock markets and investments in individual stocks are volatile and can decline significantly in response to, or investor perception of, issuer,market, economic, industry, political, regulatory, geopolitical, and other conditions. The portfolio's investments can continue to be undervaluedfor long periods of time, not realize their expected value, and be more volatile than the stock market in general. Because the portfolio mayinvest a substantial amount of its assets in issuers located in a single country or in a limited number of countries, it may be more volatile than aportfolio that is more geographically diversified.

MFS Investment Management® has been independently verified for the periods 1-Jan-1988 through 31-Dec-2016. Verification assesses whether (1) the firm has complied with all the composite construction requirements of the GIPS standards on a firm-wide basis and (2) the firm's policies and procedures are designed to calculate and present performance in compliance with the GIPS standards. Verification does not ensure the accuracy of any specific composite presentation. Total Gross-of-fee returns in USD (includes both capital appreciation and income) are net of transaction costs, withholding taxes and direct expenses, but before management fees, custody and other indirect expenses. Certain institutional accounts hold Canadian trusts subject to custody and other indirect expenses. Certain accounts may be subject to fair valuation as conditions warrant. Typical separate accounts utilize 4:00 PM (London Time) foreign exchange rates; retail products will use rates deemed most appropriate for daily NAV per share calculations. The possibility exists for performance dispersion between otherwise similarly managed accounts and also with the benchmark. Net composite returns are prepared by subtracting from the monthly gross returns one-twelfth of the maximum applicable annual institutional separate account fee. Returns based on actual management fees, including non-separate account fees, would be lower for the following periods - 2008: -36.62; 2009: 34.20; 2010: 7.32; 2011: -2.15; 2012: 20.58; 2013: 26.50; 2014: 0.25; 2015: 4.01; 2016: -2.34; 2017: 31.85; Q1 2018: -0.82; Q2 2018: 1.31. Total returns of the benchmark are provided for each period depicted, expressed in USD. Source of Benchmark Performance: FACTSET ®. Benchmark returns and benchmark annualized 3-year standard deviation are not examined by independent accountants. MSCI Europe - Net Return - a market capitalization-weighted index that is designed to measure equity market performance in the developed European markets. Composite Dispersion is measured by the asset-weighted standard deviation of account returns for all accounts in the composite for the full period. For composites containing less than six accounts for the full period, dispersion is deemed not meaningful. Accounts are eligible for inclusion in the composite if they have assets greater than 2.0 MM USD. Accounts are included as of their first full month of performance. Prior to 31-Mar-2009 accounts have been eligible for inclusion in the composite if they had assets greater than 5.0 MM USD. From 1-Jan-2005 to 31-Mar-2011, the maximum institutional separate account fee charged for this product was 80 bps. From 1-Apr-2011 to 29-Feb-2012, the maximum institutional separate account fee charged for this product was 85 bps. The net returns depicted in this report are based upon the historical max in effect for each of the periods depicted. The MFS European Value composite is a Euro based composite available globally. The regional composite depicted here was created on 13-Aug-2008 for presentation in the US market. Where appropriate, data has been converted to US Dollar and the fees and breakpoints depicted are applicable to clients in this market. Net performance is calculated from the highest fee that would be charged in that market. For purposes of GIPS compliance, the firm is defined as MFS Investment Management® which is comprised of Massachusetts Financial Services Company (MFS) and MFS Institutional Advisors, Inc. (MFSI), each of which is a registered investment advisor, MFS Heritage Trust Company, a New Hampshire Trust company, and MFS Investment Management Canada Limited. Total firm assets are calculated at market value and include assets managed by MFS, MFSI, MFS Heritage Trust Company and MFS Investment Management Canada Limited as well as assets managed by MFS and MFSI in a sub-advisory capacity on behalf of affiliated investment advisors that are not registered under the United States Investment Advisers Act of 1940, such as MFS International (U.K.), Ltd. (MIL UK) and MFS Investment Management K.K. (MIMKK), MFS International Singapore Pte. Ltd and MFS International Australia Pty Ltd as well as assets managed by MFS and MFSI on behalf of unaffiliated investment advisors that may or may not be registered under the United States Investment Advisers Act of 1940. Total firm assets for GIPS purposes do not include assets of non-discretionary advisory relationships. In November of 2011 MFS acquired McLean Budden Limited (now MFS Investment Management Canada Limited). Total firm assets from 31-Mar-2012 forward include the assets of institutional and pooled MFS Investment Management Canada Limited products. Assets from 31-Dec-2012 forward include the MFS Investment Management Canada Limited PPM product assets. A complete list of firm composites and descriptions, along with additional information regarding policies for valuing portfolios, calculating and reporting performance, and preparing compliant presentations are available upon request.
