Equifax Inc Eq An overweight position in consumer credit reporting agency Equifax (United States) contributed to relative performance. The 0.2 company reported solid first-quarter financial results, driven by solid performance in its U.S. Information Solutions (USIS) segment, owing to strong US mortgage market volumes.

The company reported 0.2 strong sales results in its Fashion & Leather segment, with Christian Dior a particular standout. Additionally, management reported Hennessy Louis strong sales results in its Wine & Spirits segment, with champagne and cognac sales benefiting from the later timing of the Chinese Vuitton SE New Year and from restocking in the US. Cie Financiere An overweight position in luxury goods company Richemont () helped relative returns. Although the company reported 0.2 organic revenues that were down mid-single digits for the full fiscal year (ended March 31), organic revenues were up strongly in Richemont SA the most recent quarter, with particularly strong performance in its Jewellery Maisons business segment.

Market review

Global equity markets continued to rally, with the MSCI World Index (net div. in USD) up 8% in the second quarter, but the shape of the rotation appears to have shifted gears. What started as a "COVID recovery trade" after the vaccine news in November, with a steep rotation towards high-beta, highly cyclical and deep value stocks, has morphed into a broader equity rally with fewer defining features but more of a focus on earnings growth. There was a reversal of the value rotation toward the end of the quarter after the US Federal Reserve said it might raise interest rates by 2023, a year earlier than indicated in previous guidance. The spread between sector returns has narrowed, but at the stock level there remains plenty of dispersion.

At a macro level there is much excitement on the speed of the reopening and vaccine rollout. Most economists are penciling in 6% global GDP growth this year and 4.5% next year, with expectations of a synchronized acceleration of G7 economies. The US is already above its pre-pandemic GDP level while Europe could reach this in Q3 or Q4. There seems to be a consensus that there will be a spending boom ahead as lockdown savings are spent and a feel-good factor returns. It was an unusual recession caused by a deliberate decision to close down parts of the economy in response to the pandemic, not provoked by financial excesses or a change in monetary policy. The response to that recession has been extraordinary, not only in the unprecedented size of stimulus, but also in its design — handing money to businesses to keep workers employed, and to individuals directly.

The big talking point in the markets this quarter is inflation. There is a huge debate about whether the recent spike in inflation is transitory or permanent. It remains too early to tell, with comparisons distorted by some price falls during lockdown. US inflation (CPI) hit 5% in May, the highest level in 13 years, and in Europe inflation hit 2%, just five months after shaking off a bout of deflation. The long-term debate concerns whether the deflationary forces holding prices down (demographics, technology, globalization, etc.) are still as strong as they were. Globalization led to a huge transfer of production from high-cost economies to lower-cost ones in Asia and Eastern Europe. This may now be reversing. Low inflation has become a global phenomenon, and inflation has been falling for 30 years. So far, central banks and most investors believe inflation is transitory, a result of price pressures caused by supply and demand imbalances distorted by the pandemic.

Relative calm has descended across bond markets, with yields actually falling as fears of an interest rate shock are dissipating, at least for now. Such a shock could have punctured high equity valuations, especially for long-duration assets that have been bid up in technology and

45694.6 14 FOR DEALER AND INSTITUTIONAL USE ONLY. - MFS Global Equity Fund 14 PRPEQ-LGE-30-Jun-21 Portfolio Outlook and Positioning

other thematic areas such as clean energy. The yield on the benchmark 10-year US Treasury eased back below 1.5%, having peaked close to 1.8%. Falling interest rates have been the engine of a twin bull market in bonds and equities over the past decade or more. The question now is whether this is a turning point and game is over. The Fed's balance sheet has doubled to $8 trillion since the start of 2020 — over 30% of GDP — and at some point needs to be unwound.

The question is whether the central banks can control the narrative and how long it will be before they hit the brakes by raising interest rates and tapering QE. The policy lesson from 2018 is that even a modest tightening can be uncomfortable for equity and credit markets if it is not handled well. The speed of the "great unwind" of monetary and fiscal stimulus is being carefully assessed and matters to credibility and global financial stability. Equity valuation indicators still look stretched, although some of the signs of speculative excess have eased off. Warren Buffett’s favorite measure (market cap to GDP) is 236% against a 122% historical average, and long-term metrics like the cyclically adjusted PE ratio are two times higher than historical norms. Risks remain aplenty — control of inflation, fading stimulus, higher taxes, trade wars, central bank policy mistakes and new coronavirus variants in addition to ever-present political risks around the world. As always, we consider these factors on a stock-by-stock basis when evaluating our holdings.

Portfolio positioning and performance

The portfolio outperformed in both April and May before giving back some relative performance in June.

Good stock selection in the consumer discretionary and consumer staples sectors was the key positive factor. Luxury goods stocks, notably LVMH and Richemont, performed well as the market looked ahead to faster earnings growth and a resumption of travel. Beverage companies, notably Diageo, Heineken and , performed well as pubs, bars and restaurants started reopening in some developed markets. Strong stock selection in financials was also a positive, notably Goldman Sachs and American Express. Utilities was the weakest-performing sector, so not holding any utility stocks helped our relative performance this quarter. We struggle to find utilities with above-average growth characteristics, and where there are growth opportunities, particularly in renewables, we worry that excess capital is chasing a finite number of projects, and we find valuations too high.

The biggest detractor was information technology, driven more by stock selection than by being underweight the sector. Not holding Nvidia and Microsoft were the key detractors, along with relatively weak performance in holdings of Fiserv and Cognizant. Across the

45694.6 15 FOR DEALER AND INSTITUTIONAL USE ONLY. - MFS Global Equity Fund 15 PRPEQ-LGE-30-Jun-21 Portfolio Outlook and Positioning

portfolio, the biggest single detractor was Canadian National Railway after the company bid for Kansas City Southern (also held in the portfolio and a positive contributor for the quarter).

The shape of the portfolio has not changed materially. The biggest overweights remain in industrials, consumer staples and health care, where we continue to seek out and find great opportunities in neglected areas of the market perhaps overlooked in the market gyrations and short-term focus of other investors. We’ve been adding to existing stocks and buying new positions, taking advantage of valuations at 10-year relative lows in several cases. The recent excitement has been in the rail industry, where a bidding war for Kansas City Southern has tempted us to reposition our rail stocks, as set out below.

Portfolio activity in Q2

Key trades during the quarter included the following:

We started a new position in Canadian Pacific Railway (CP) after its offer to acquire Kansas City Southern was trumped by a higher bid from its rival, Canadian National Railway, which faces more regulatory risk. CP looks attractive as a standalone entity and its valuation is attractive in our view. It has a conservative balance sheet, diversified freight mix and favorable commodity exposure. Rails generally grow in line with GDP and industrial production and are generally taking share from road transport. CP is one of the smaller rail operators servicing business centers in Canada and the US Northeast and Midwest. Meanwhile, we halved our position inKansas City Southern after its share price rose in response to the latest offer from Canadian National Railway.

We started a new position in International Flavors & Fragrances , a supplier of vital ingredients to consumer goods companies. The industry has attractive fundamentals, with pricing power, high barriers to entry, innovation, patent protection, and high switching costs as the process is completely entrenched in the clients' businesses. Flavors and fragrances represent a small proportion of the customer’s total cost and yet are a key differentiator of the end-product. We believe the stock's valuation is reasonable, with synergies resulting from recent deals driving earnings growth.

45694.6 16 FOR DEALER AND INSTITUTIONAL USE ONLY. - MFS Global Equity Fund 16 PRPEQ-LGE-30-Jun-21 Portfolio Outlook and Positioning

We added to our position in Fiserv, a provider of financial technology services, including payment processing, e-commerce and online banking. We believe the company can deliver mid-to-high-single-digit revenue growth and low-double-digit EPS growth over the long term, and the stock is trading at a reasonable valuation.

We added to Roche, the Swiss pharmaceutical company, following its recent underperformance. Roche is the clear market leader in oncology and has successfully extended the lifecycle of its major drug franchises for cancer treatment. We believe Roche remains one of the best-positioned pharmaceutical companies and has above-average growth prospects, with new product launches more than offsetting the challenges from biosimilar products.

We added to Liberty Broadband , the holding company for media billionaire John Malone's stake in Charter Communications. We believe Charter has strong long-term prospects driven by the continuing growth of broadband Internet service, margin improvement potential and declining capital intensity. Management has demonstrated strong capital allocation and a clear focus on returns.

We eliminated our position in Deutsche Wohnen after the stock’s recent outperformance following a bid approach from Vonovia, a rival real-estate company.

We trimmed strong-performing positions in LVMH , Goldman Sachs , Bank of New York Mellon and Waters to fund new opportunities and more attractively valued investments.

Summary

It is pleasing to be able to look ahead with optimism and enjoy the economic boom as countries emerge from the pandemic, with some of the easiest financial conditions on record and unprecedented fiscal and monetary support in place. The market is certainly more focused now and is again paying attention to the near-term and long-term earnings growth of companies as we move beyond the disruption phase. There will be bumps in the road ahead, not least the risk of COVID variants, and markets could stay volatile and unpredictable as we work through this in the short term. The inflation debate will rumble on, with investors looking for telltale signs of transitory or permanent change while awaiting the inevitable tightening from central banks as interest rates get reset and QE gets unwound.

At the portfolio level, we continue to focus on investing in sustainable growth companies without worrying too much about macro gyrations. We do worry about paying what we think is the right price, as valuation can be a key determinant of long-term returns, and we continue to assess risks that others often seem willing to overlook. We will continue to try and take advantage of anomalies thrown up by market movements and look to find plenty of great companies in which to invest.
