MFS® Investment Management (MFS) is a premier asset management firm that offers mutual funds, institutional and separately managed account strategies in equity and fixed-income products, which are supported by a global team of portfolio managers and research analysts.  MFS traces its origins to 1924 and the creation of the United States' first open-end mutual fund, Massachusetts Investors Trust. Over time, MFS has been a leading innovator in the asset management industry, including creating the first in-house research departments in the mutual fund industry in 1932, launching the first high-yield municipal bond fund and the first global balanced fund, and more recently creating "outcome-oriented" products, such as its line of target-risk, target-date, and other asset allocation funds.  Assets under management as of January 31, 2010: $184.1 billion.

These risks include fluctuations in foreign currencies; withholding or other taxes; trading, settlement, custodial and other operational risks; and the less stringent investor protection and disclosure standards of some foreign markets.

2 A portfolio that concentrates its investments in one economic sector or geographic region faces the risk of higher share-price volatility.
