FUND SUMMARY 
The investment seeks total return that exceeds the rate of inflation over the long term. MFS (the adviser) in conjunction with UBS (the sub-adviser) attempt to achieve a target total rate of return for the fund that meets or exceeds 5% per year on a real basis, net of fund expenses, over a full market cycle, by generating returns from a combination of (1) MFS' individual security selection of primarily equity securities and (2) UBS' tactical market- and currency- exposure strategies using derivatives.
