MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION OF FUND PERFORMANCE
  • For the twelve months ended May 31, 2025, Class A shares of the MFS Aggressive Growth Allocation Fund (fund) provided a total return of 9.52%, at net asset value. This compares with a return of 13.52% for the fund’s benchmark, the Standard & Poor's 500 Stock Index. The fund's other benchmark, the MFS Aggressive Growth Allocation Fund Blended Index (Blended Index), generated a return of 12.97%. The Blended Index reflects the blended returns of broad asset class indices, with percentage allocations to each index designed to resemble the long term strategic allocations of the fund. The market indices and related percentage allocations used to compile the Blended Index are set forth in the Fund Performance.
  • Global equity markets reached record levels during the period but fell back from those highs amid international trade friction in the early months of the second Trump term.  In Europe, renewed focus on defense and infrastructure spending brightened the outlook.
  • Market volatility rose toward the end of the period as the Trump administration imposed, then suspended for 90-days, an array of very high tariffs on most US trading partners. A temporary truce was reached separately with China, though tensions remain high. President Trump faces legal challenges to some of his tariff authority but has other mechanisms at his disposal if the challenges are successful. Sectoral tariffs remain in place.   
  • Moderating inflation pressures allowed many global central banks to ease monetary policy during the period. However, the pace of disinflation slowed toward the end of the period, particularly in the US, while tariffs made for a more difficult policymaking environment.  
  • In fixed income markets, global yields declined during the first quarter of the reporting period, then fluctuated within a narrow band for the remainder of the period as volatility persisted. Credit spreads declined throughout the reporting period, and remain near historical lows, despite a brief period of widening as tariff concerns took hold. US bond market volatility, as measured by the Merrill Lynch Option Volatility Estimate (MOVE) Index, ended the period near session lows after increasing around the US election and trade war.
  • Top contributors to performance relative to the Blended Index:
    • Within the international equity segment, the fund's exposure to the MFS International Large Cap Value Fund contributed to relative results.
  • Top detractors from performance relative to the Blended Index:
    • Within the US equity funds segment, manager selection was a headwind as most funds underperformed their respective benchmarks. Style selection also held back relative performance. Allocations to all strategies, with the exception of large and mid-cap growth funds, weighed on relative returns as large-cap and growth strategies tended to outperform small-cap and value-oriented strategies.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION OF FUND PERFORMANCE
  • For the twelve months ended May 31, 2025, Class R1 shares of the MFS Aggressive Growth Allocation Fund (fund) provided a total return of 8.72%, at net asset value. This compares with a return of 13.52% for the fund’s benchmark, the Standard & Poor's 500 Stock Index. The fund's other benchmark, the MFS Aggressive Growth Allocation Fund Blended Index (Blended Index), generated a return of 12.97%. The Blended Index reflects the blended returns of broad asset class indices, with percentage allocations to each index designed to resemble the long term strategic allocations of the fund. The market indices and related percentage allocations used to compile the Blended Index are set forth in the Fund Performance.
  • Global equity markets reached record levels during the period but fell back from those highs amid international trade friction in the early months of the second Trump term.  In Europe, renewed focus on defense and infrastructure spending brightened the outlook.
  • Market volatility rose toward the end of the period as the Trump administration imposed, then suspended for 90-days, an array of very high tariffs on most US trading partners. A temporary truce was reached separately with China, though tensions remain high. President Trump faces legal challenges to some of his tariff authority but has other mechanisms at his disposal if the challenges are successful. Sectoral tariffs remain in place.   
  • Moderating inflation pressures allowed many global central banks to ease monetary policy during the period. However, the pace of disinflation slowed toward the end of the period, particularly in the US, while tariffs made for a more difficult policymaking environment.  
  • In fixed income markets, global yields declined during the first quarter of the reporting period, then fluctuated within a narrow band for the remainder of the period as volatility persisted. Credit spreads declined throughout the reporting period, and remain near historical lows, despite a brief period of widening as tariff concerns took hold. US bond market volatility, as measured by the Merrill Lynch Option Volatility Estimate (MOVE) Index, ended the period near session lows after increasing around the US election and trade war.
  • Top contributors to performance relative to the Blended Index:
    • Within the international equity segment, the fund's exposure to the MFS International Large Cap Value Fund contributed to relative results.
  • Top detractors from performance relative to the Blended Index:
    • Within the US equity funds segment, manager selection was a headwind as most funds underperformed their respective benchmarks. Style selection also held back relative performance. Allocations to all strategies, with the exception of large and mid-cap growth funds, weighed on relative returns as large-cap and growth strategies tended to outperform small-cap and value-oriented strategies.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION OF FUND PERFORMANCE
  • For the twelve months ended May 31, 2025, Class A shares of the MFS Moderate Allocation Fund (fund) provided a total return of 8.30%, at net asset value. This compares with a return of 13.52% for the fund’s benchmark, the Standard & Poor's 500 Stock Index. The fund's other benchmark, the MFS Moderate Allocation Fund Blended Index (Blended Index), generated a return of 10.00%. The Blended Index reflects the blended returns of broad asset class indices, with percentage allocations to each index designed to resemble the long term strategic allocations of the fund. The market indices and related percentage allocations used to compile the Blended Index are set forth in the Fund Performance.
  • Global equity markets reached record levels during the period but fell back from those highs amid international trade friction in the early months of the second Trump term.  In Europe, renewed focus on defense and infrastructure spending brightened the outlook.
  • Market volatility rose toward the end of the period as the Trump administration imposed, then suspended for 90-days, an array of very high tariffs on most US trading partners. A temporary truce was reached separately with China, though tensions remain high. President Trump faces legal challenges to some of his tariff authority but has other mechanisms at his disposal if the challenges are successful. Sectoral tariffs remain in place.   
  • Moderating inflation pressures allowed many global central banks to ease monetary policy during the period. However, the pace of disinflation slowed toward the end of the period, particularly in the US, while tariffs made for a more difficult policymaking environment.  
  • In fixed income markets, global yields declined during the first quarter of the reporting period, then fluctuated within a narrow band for the remainder of the period as volatility persisted. Credit spreads declined throughout the reporting period, and remain near historical lows, despite a brief period of widening as tariff concerns took hold. US bond market volatility, as measured by the Merrill Lynch Option Volatility Estimate (MOVE) Index, ended the period near session lows after increasing around the US election and trade war.
  • Top contributors to performance relative to the Blended Index:
    • Within the fixed income segment, the fund's exposure to the MFS High Income Fund, MFS Emerging Markets Debt Local Currency Fund and MFS Emerging Markets Debt Fund supported relative returns.
    • Within the international equity segment, exposure to MFS International Large Cap Value Fund bolstered relative returns.
  • Top detractors from performance relative to the Blended Index:
    • Within the US equity funds segment, manager selection was a headwind as most funds underperformed their respective benchmarks. Style selection also held back relative performance. Allocations to all strategies, with the exception of large and mid-cap growth funds, weighed on relative returns as large-cap and growth strategies tended to outperform small-cap and value-oriented strategies.
    • Within the international equity segment, relative performance of the MFS Research International Fund held back results as the fund lagged its respective benchmark.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION OF FUND PERFORMANCE
  • For the twelve months ended May 31, 2025, Class R1 shares of the MFS Moderate Allocation Fund (fund) provided a total return of 7.50%, at net asset value. This compares with a return of 13.52% for the fund’s benchmark, the Standard & Poor's 500 Stock Index. The fund's other benchmark, the MFS Moderate Allocation Fund Blended Index (Blended Index), generated a return of 10.00%. The Blended Index reflects the blended returns of broad asset class indices, with percentage allocations to each index designed to resemble the long term strategic allocations of the fund. The market indices and related percentage allocations used to compile the Blended Index are set forth in the Fund Performance.
  • Global equity markets reached record levels during the period but fell back from those highs amid international trade friction in the early months of the second Trump term.  In Europe, renewed focus on defense and infrastructure spending brightened the outlook.
  • Market volatility rose toward the end of the period as the Trump administration imposed, then suspended for 90-days, an array of very high tariffs on most US trading partners. A temporary truce was reached separately with China, though tensions remain high. President Trump faces legal challenges to some of his tariff authority but has other mechanisms at his disposal if the challenges are successful. Sectoral tariffs remain in place.   
  • Moderating inflation pressures allowed many global central banks to ease monetary policy during the period. However, the pace of disinflation slowed toward the end of the period, particularly in the US, while tariffs made for a more difficult policymaking environment.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION OF FUND PERFORMANCE
  • For the twelve months ended May 31, 2025, Class R6 shares of the MFS Moderate Allocation Fund (fund) provided a total return of 8.64%, at net asset value. This compares with a return of 13.52% for the fund’s benchmark, the Standard & Poor's 500 Stock Index. The fund's other benchmark, the MFS Moderate Allocation Fund Blended Index (Blended Index), generated a return of 10.00%. The Blended Index reflects the blended returns of broad asset class indices, with percentage allocations to each index designed to resemble the long term strategic allocations of the fund. The market indices and related percentage allocations used to compile the Blended Index are set forth in the Fund Performance.
  • Global equity markets reached record levels during the period but fell back from those highs amid international trade friction in the early months of the second Trump term.  In Europe, renewed focus on defense and infrastructure spending brightened the outlook.
  • Market volatility rose toward the end of the period as the Trump administration imposed, then suspended for 90-days, an array of very high tariffs on most US trading partners.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION OF FUND PERFORMANCE
  • For the twelve months ended May 31, 2025, Class A shares of the MFS Emerging Markets Equity Fund (fund) provided a total return of 16.88%, at net asset value. This compares with a return of 13.04% for the fund’s benchmark, the MSCI Emerging Markets Index (net div).

  • Top contributors to performance relative to the MSCI Emerging Markets Index:
    • Security selection and an overweight allocation to the communications services sector strengthened the fund's relative performance.
    • Security selection and an underweight allocation to the materials sector also benefited relative returns.
  • Top detractors from performance relative to the MSCI Emerging Markets Index:

Factors Affecting Performance [Text Block]
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION OF FUND PERFORMANCE
  • For the twelve months ended May 31, 2025, Class C shares of the MFS Emerging Markets Equity Fund (fund) provided a total return of 16.05%, at net asset value. This compares with a return of 13.04% for the fund’s benchmark, the MSCI Emerging Markets Index (net div).
  • Global equity markets reached record levels during the period but fell back from those highs amid international trade friction in the early months of the second Trump term.  In Europe, renewed focus on defense and infrastructure spending brightened the outlook.
  • Market volatility rose toward the end of the period as the Trump administration imposed, then suspended for 90-days, an array of very high tariffs on most US trading partners. A temporary truce was reached separately with China, though tensions remain high. President Trump faces legal challenges to some of his tariff authority but has other mechanisms at his disposal if the challenges are successful. Sectoral tariffs remain in place.   
  • Moderating inflation pressures allowed many global central banks to ease monetary policy during the period. However, the pace of disinflation slowed toward the end of the period, particularly in the US, while tariffs made for a more difficult policymaking environment.  
  • In fixed income markets, global yields declined during the first quarter of the reporting period, then fluctuated within a narrow band for the remainder of the period as volatility persisted.

Factors Affecting Performance [Text Block]
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION OF FUND PERFORMANCE
  • For the twelve months ended May 31, 2025, Class R3 shares of the MFS Emerging Markets Equity Fund (fund) provided a total return of 16.90%, at net asset value. This compares with a return of 13.04% for the fund’s benchmark, the MSCI Emerging Markets Index (net div).
  • Global equity markets reached record levels during the period but fell back from those highs amid international trade friction in the early months of the second Trump term.  In Europe, renewed focus on defense and infrastructure spending brightened the outlook.
  • Market volatility rose toward the end of the period as the Trump administration imposed, then suspended for 90-days, an array of very high tariffs on most US trading partners. A temporary truce was reached separately with China, though tensions remain high. President Trump faces legal challenges to some of his tariff authority but has other mechanisms at his disposal if the challenges are successful. Sectoral tariffs remain in place.   
  • Moderating inflation pressures allowed many global central banks to ease monetary policy during the period. However, the pace of disinflation slowed toward the end of the period, particularly in the US, while tariffs made for a more difficult policymaking environment.  
  • In fixed income markets, global yields declined during the first quarter of the reporting period, then fluctuated within a narrow band for the remainder of the period as volatility persisted. Credit spreads declined throughout the reporting period, and remain near historical lows, despite a brief period of widening as tariff concerns took hold. US bond market volatility, as measured by the Merrill Lynch Option Volatility Estimate (MOVE) Index, ended the period near session lows after increasing around the US election and trade war.
  • Top contributors to performance relative to the MSCI Emerging Markets Index:
    • Security selection and an overweight allocation to the communications services sector strengthened the fund's relative performance.
    • Security selection and an underweight allocation to the materials sector also benefited relative returns.
  • Top detractors from performance relative to the MSCI Emerging Markets Index:
    • The fund’s cash and/or cash equivalents position weakened relative performance.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION OF FUND PERFORMANCE
  • For the twelve months ended May 31, 2025, Class A shares of the MFS Growth Allocation Fund (fund) provided a total return of 8.98%, at net asset value. This compares with a return of 13.52% for the fund’s benchmark, the Standard & Poor's 500 Stock Index. The fund's other benchmark, the MFS Growth Allocation Fund Blended Index (Blended Index), generated a return of 11.48%. The Blended Index reflects the blended returns of broad asset class indices, with percentage allocations to each index designed to resemble the long term strategic allocations of the fund. The market indices and related percentage allocations used to compile the Blended Index are set forth in the Fund Performance.
  • Global equity markets reached record levels during the period but fell back from those highs amid international trade friction in the early months of the second Trump term.  In Europe, renewed focus on defense and infrastructure spending brightened the outlook.
  • Market volatility rose toward the end of the period as the Trump administration imposed, then suspended for 90-days, an array of very high tariffs on most US trading partners. A temporary truce was reached separately with China, though tensions remain high. President Trump faces legal challenges to some of his tariff authority but has other mechanisms at his disposal if the challenges are successful. Sectoral tariffs remain in place.   
  • Moderating inflation pressures allowed many global central banks to ease monetary policy during the period. However, the pace of disinflation slowed toward the end of the period, particularly in the US, while tariffs made for a more difficult policymaking environment.  
  • In fixed income markets, global yields declined during the first quarter of the reporting period, then fluctuated within a narrow band for the remainder of the period as volatility persisted. Credit spreads declined throughout the reporting period, and remain near historical lows, despite a brief period of widening as tariff concerns took hold. US bond market volatility, as measured by the Merrill Lynch Option Volatility Estimate (MOVE) Index, ended the period near session lows after increasing around the US election and trade war.
  • Top contributors to performance relative to the Blended Index:
    • Within the fixed income segment, the fund's exposure to both the MFS High Income Fund and MFS Emerging Markets Debt Local Currency Fund supported relative returns.
    • Within the international equity segment, exposure to MFS International Large Cap Value Fund bolstered relative returns.
  • Top detractors from performance relative to the Blended Index:
    • Within the US equity funds segment, manager selection was a headwind as most funds underperformed their respective benchmarks. Style selection also held back relative performance. Allocations to all strategies, with the exception of large and mid-cap growth funds, weighed on relative returns as large-cap and growth strategies tended to outperform small-cap and value-oriented strategies.
    • Within the international equity segment, relative performance of the MFS Research International Fund held back results as the fund lagged its respective benchmark.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION OF FUND PERFORMANCE
  • For the twelve months ended May 31, 2025, Class B shares of the MFS Growth Allocation Fund (fund) provided a total return of 8.21%, at net asset value. This compares with a return of 13.52% for the fund’s benchmark, the Standard & Poor's 500 Stock Index. The fund's other benchmark, the MFS Growth Allocation Fund Blended Index (Blended Index), generated a return of 11.48%. The Blended Index reflects the blended returns of broad asset class indices, with percentage allocations to each index designed to resemble the long term strategic allocations of the fund. The market indices and related percentage allocations used to compile the Blended Index are set forth in the Fund Performance.
  • Global equity markets reached record levels during the period but fell back from those highs amid international trade friction in the early months of the second Trump term.  In Europe, renewed focus on defense and infrastructure spending brightened the outlook.
  • Market volatility rose toward the end of the period as the Trump administration imposed, then suspended for 90-days, an array of very high tariffs on most US trading partners. A temporary truce was reached separately with China, though tensions remain high. President Trump faces legal challenges to some of his tariff authority but has other mechanisms at his disposal if the challenges are successful. Sectoral tariffs remain in place.   
  • Moderating inflation pressures allowed many global central banks to ease monetary policy during the period. However, the pace of disinflation slowed toward the end of the period, particularly in the US, while tariffs made for a more difficult policymaking environment.  
  • In fixed income markets, global yields declined during the first quarter of the reporting period, then fluctuated within a narrow band for the remainder of the period as volatility persisted. Credit spreads declined throughout the reporting period, and remain near historical lows, despite a brief period of widening as tariff concerns took hold. US bond market volatility, as measured by the Merrill Lynch Option Volatility Estimate (MOVE) Index, ended the period near session lows after increasing around the US election and trade war.
  • Top contributors to performance relative to the Blended Index:
    • Within the fixed income segment, the fund's exposure to both the MFS High Income Fund and MFS Emerging Markets Debt Local Currency Fund supported relative returns.
    • Within the international equity segment, exposure to MFS International Large Cap Value Fund bolstered relative returns.
  • Top detractors from performance relative to the Blended Index:
    • Within the US equity funds segment, manager selection was a headwind as most funds underperformed their respective benchmarks. Style selection also held back relative performance. Allocations to all strategies, with the exception of large and mid-cap growth funds, weighed on relative returns as large-cap and growth strategies tended to outperform small-cap and value-oriented strategies.
    • Within the international equity segment, relative performance of the MFS Research International Fund held back results as the fund lagged its respective benchmark.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION OF FUND PERFORMANCE
  • For the twelve months ended May 31, 2025, Class R2 shares of the MFS Growth Allocation Fund (fund) provided a total return of 8.69%, at net asset value. This compares with a return of 13.52% for the fund’s benchmark, the Standard & Poor's 500 Stock Index. The fund's other benchmark, the MFS Growth Allocation Fund Blended Index (Blended Index), generated a return of 11.48%. The Blended Index reflects the blended returns of broad asset class indices, with percentage allocations to each index designed to resemble the long term strategic allocations of the fund. The market indices and related percentage allocations used to compile the Blended Index are set forth in the Fund Performance.
  • Global equity markets reached record levels during the period but fell back from those highs amid international trade friction in the early months of the second Trump term.  In Europe, renewed focus on defense and infrastructure spending brightened the outlook.
  • Market volatility rose toward the end of the period as the Trump administration imposed, then suspended for 90-days, an array of very high tariffs on most US trading partners. A temporary truce was reached separately with China, though tensions remain high. President Trump faces legal challenges to some of his tariff authority but has other mechanisms at his disposal if the challenges are successful. Sectoral tariffs remain in place.   
  • Moderating inflation pressures allowed many global central banks to ease monetary policy during the period. However, the pace of disinflation slowed toward the end of the period, particularly in the US, while tariffs made for a more difficult policymaking environment.  
  • In fixed income markets, global yields declined during the first quarter of the reporting period, then fluctuated within a narrow band for the remainder of the period as volatility persisted. Credit spreads declined throughout the reporting period, and remain near historical lows, despite a brief period of widening as tariff concerns took hold. US bond market volatility, as measured by the Merrill Lynch Option Volatility Estimate (MOVE) Index, ended the period near session lows after increasing around the US election and trade war.
  • Top contributors to performance relative to the Blended Index:
    • Within the fixed income segment, the fund's exposure to both the MFS High Income Fund and MFS Emerging Markets Debt Local Currency Fund supported relative returns.
    • Within the international equity segment, exposure to MFS International Large Cap Value Fund bolstered relative returns.
  • Top detractors from performance relative to the Blended Index:
    • Within the US equity funds segment, manager selection was a headwind as most funds underperformed their respective benchmarks. Style selection also held back relative performance. Allocations to all strategies, with the exception of large and mid-cap growth funds, weighed on relative returns as large-cap and growth strategies tended to outperform small-cap and value-oriented strategies.
    • Within the international equity segment, relative performance of the MFS Research International Fund held back results as the fund lagged its respective benchmark.

Factors Affecting Performance [Text Block]
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION OF FUND PERFORMANCE
  • For the twelve months ended May 31, 2025, Class A shares of the MFS International Diversification Fund (fund) provided a total return of 13.98%, at net asset value. This compares with a return of 13.75% for the fund’s benchmark, the MSCI All Country World (ex-US) Index (net div).
  • Global equity markets reached record levels during the period but fell back from those highs amid international trade friction in the early months of the second Trump term.  In Europe, renewed focus on defense and infrastructure spending brightened the outlook.
  • Market volatility rose toward the end of the period as the Trump administration imposed, then suspended for 90-days, an array of very high tariffs on most US trading partners. A temporary truce was reached separately with China, though tensions remain high. President Trump faces legal challenges to some of his tariff authority but has other mechanisms at his disposal if the challenges are successful. Sectoral tariffs remain in place.   
  • Moderating inflation pressures allowed many global central banks to ease monetary policy during the period. However, the pace of disinflation slowed toward the end of the period, particularly in the US, while tariffs made for a more difficult policymaking environment.  
  • In fixed income markets, global yields declined during the first quarter of the reporting period, then fluctuated within a narrow band for the remainder of the period as volatility persisted. Credit spreads declined throughout the reporting period, and remain near historical lows, despite a brief period of widening as tariff concerns took hold. US bond market volatility, as measured by the Merrill Lynch Option Volatility Estimate (MOVE) Index, ended the period near session lows after increasing around the US election and trade war.
  • Top contributors to performance relative to the MSCI All Country World (ex-US) Index:
    • The fund’s exposure to both the MFS International Large Cap Value Fund and MFS Emerging Markets Equity Fund contributed to relative performance as both funds outperformed their respective market segments.
    • The fund’s exposure to the MFS International Growth Fund and MFS International Intrinsic Value Fund further benefited relative returns.
  • Top detractors from performance relative to the MSCI All Country World (ex-US) Index:
    • The fund’s exposure to the MFS Research International Fund weakened relative returns as the fund underperformed its respective benchmark.
    • The fund’s exposure to the MFS International New Discovery Fund further weighed on relative performance.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION OF FUND PERFORMANCE
  • For the twelve months ended May 31, 2025, Class R1 shares of the MFS International Diversification Fund (fund) provided a total return of 13.19%, at net asset value. This compares with a return of 13.75% for the fund’s benchmark, the MSCI All Country World (ex-US) Index (net div).
  • Global equity markets reached record levels during the period but fell back from those highs amid international trade friction in the early months of the second Trump term.  In Europe, renewed focus on defense and infrastructure spending brightened the outlook.
  • Market volatility rose toward the end of the period as the Trump administration imposed, then suspended for 90-days, an array of very high tariffs on most US trading partners. A temporary truce was reached separately with China, though tensions remain high. President Trump faces legal challenges to some of his tariff authority but has other mechanisms at his disposal if the challenges are successful. Sectoral tariffs remain in place.   
  • Moderating inflation pressures allowed many global central banks to ease monetary policy during the period. However, the pace of disinflation slowed toward the end of the period, particularly in the US, while tariffs made for a more difficult policymaking environment.  
  • In fixed income markets, global yields declined during the first quarter of the reporting period, then fluctuated within a narrow band for the remainder of the period as volatility persisted. Credit spreads declined throughout the reporting period, and remain near historical lows, despite a brief period of widening as tariff concerns took hold. US bond market volatility, as measured by the Merrill Lynch Option Volatility Estimate (MOVE) Index, ended the period near session lows after increasing around the US election and trade war.
  • Top contributors to performance relative to the MSCI All Country World (ex-US) Index:
    • The fund’s exposure to both the MFS International Large Cap Value Fund and MFS Emerging Markets Equity Fund contributed to relative performance as both funds outperformed their respective market segments.
    • The fund’s exposure to the MFS International Growth Fund and MFS International Intrinsic Value Fund further benefited relative returns.
  • Top detractors from performance relative to the MSCI All Country World (ex-US) Index:

Factors Affecting Performance [Text Block]
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION OF FUND PERFORMANCE
  • For the twelve months ended May 31, 2025, Class R2 shares of the MFS International Diversification Fund (fund) provided a total return of 13.72%, at net asset value. This compares with a return of 13.75% for the fund’s benchmark, the MSCI All Country World (ex-US) Index (net div).
  • Global equity markets reached record levels during the period but fell back from those highs amid international trade friction in the early months of the second Trump term.  In Europe, renewed focus on defense and infrastructure spending brightened the outlook.
  • Market volatility rose toward the end of the period as the Trump administration imposed, then suspended for 90-days, an array of very high tariffs on most US trading partners. A temporary truce was reached separately with China, though tensions remain high. President Trump faces legal challenges to some of his tariff authority but has other mechanisms at his disposal if the challenges are successful. Sectoral tariffs remain in place.   
  • Moderating inflation pressures allowed many global central banks to ease monetary policy during the period. However, the pace of disinflation slowed toward the end of the period, particularly in the US, while tariffs made for a more difficult policymaking environment.  
  • In fixed income markets, global yields declined during the first quarter of the reporting period, then fluctuated within a narrow band for the remainder of the period as volatility persisted. Credit spreads declined throughout the reporting period, and remain near historical lows, despite a brief period of widening as tariff concerns took hold. US bond market volatility, as measured by the Merrill Lynch Option Volatility Estimate (MOVE) Index, ended the period near session lows after increasing around the US election and trade war.
  • Top contributors to performance relative to the MSCI All Country World (ex-US) Index:
    • The fund’s exposure to both the MFS International Large Cap Value Fund and MFS Emerging Markets Equity Fund contributed to relative performance as both funds outperformed their respective market segments.
    • The fund’s exposure to the MFS International Growth Fund and MFS International Intrinsic Value Fund further benefited relative returns.
  • Top detractors from performance relative to the MSCI All Country World (ex-US) Index:
    • The fund’s exposure to the MFS Research International Fund weakened relative returns as the fund underperformed its respective benchmark.
    • The fund’s exposure to the MFS International New Discovery Fund further weighed on relative performance.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION OF FUND PERFORMANCE
  • For the twelve months ended May 31, 2025, Class A shares of the MFS International Growth Fund (fund) provided a total return of 15.44%, at net asset value. This compares with a return of 13.75% for the fund’s benchmark, the MSCI All Country World (ex-US) Index (net div). The fund's other benchmark, the MSCI All Country World (ex-US) Growth Index (net div), generated a return of 10.81%.
  • Global equity markets reached record levels during the period but fell back from those highs amid international trade friction in the early months of the second Trump term.  In Europe, renewed focus on defense and infrastructure spending brightened the outlook.
  • Market volatility rose toward the end of the period as the Trump administration imposed, then suspended for 90-days, an array of very high tariffs on most US trading partners. A temporary truce was reached separately with China, though tensions remain high. President Trump faces legal challenges to some of his tariff authority but has other mechanisms at his disposal if the challenges are successful. Sectoral tariffs remain in place.   
  • Moderating inflation pressures allowed many global central banks to ease monetary policy during the period. However, the pace of disinflation slowed toward the end of the period, particularly in the US, while tariffs made for a more difficult policymaking environment.  
  • In fixed income markets, global yields declined during the first quarter of the reporting period, then fluctuated within a narrow band for the remainder of the period as volatility persisted. Credit spreads declined throughout the reporting period, and remain near historical lows, despite a brief period of widening as tariff concerns took hold. US bond market volatility, as measured by the Merrill Lynch Option Volatility Estimate (MOVE) Index, ended the period near session lows after increasing around the US election and trade war.
  • Top contributors to performance relative to the MSCI All Country World (ex-US) Growth Index:
    • Security selection within the information technology, health care, industrials, and materials sectors strengthened the fund's relative performance.
  • Top detractors from performance relative to the MSCI All Country World (ex-US) Growth Index:
    • Security selection and an overweight allocation to the consumer staples sector weakened relative performance.
    • An underweight allocation to the communication services sector further weighed on the fund's relative returns.

Factors Affecting Performance [Text Block]
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION OF FUND PERFORMANCE
  • For the twelve months ended May 31, 2025, Class B shares of the MFS International Growth Fund (fund) provided a total return of 14.59%, at net asset value. This compares with a return of 13.75% for the fund’s benchmark, the MSCI All Country World (ex-US) Index (net div). The fund's other benchmark, the MSCI All Country World (ex-US) Growth Index (net div), generated a return of 10.81%.
  • Global equity markets reached record levels during the period but fell back from those highs amid international trade friction in the early months of the second Trump term.  In Europe, renewed focus on defense and infrastructure spending brightened the outlook.
  • Market volatility rose toward the end of the period as the Trump administration imposed, then suspended for 90-days, an array of very high tariffs on most US trading partners. A temporary truce was reached separately with China, though tensions remain high. President Trump faces legal challenges to some of his tariff authority but has other mechanisms at his disposal if the challenges are successful. Sectoral tariffs remain in place.   
  • Moderating inflation pressures allowed many global central banks to ease monetary policy during the period. However, the pace of disinflation slowed toward the end of the period, particularly in the US, while tariffs made for a more difficult policymaking environment.  
  • In fixed income markets, global yields declined during the first quarter of the reporting period, then fluctuated within a narrow band for the remainder of the period as volatility persisted. Credit spreads declined throughout the reporting period, and remain near historical lows, despite a brief period of widening as tariff concerns took hold. US bond market volatility, as measured by the Merrill Lynch Option Volatility Estimate (MOVE) Index, ended the period near session lows after increasing around the US election and trade war.
  • Top contributors to performance relative to the MSCI All Country World (ex-US) Growth Index:
    • Security selection within the information technology, health care, industrials, and materials sectors strengthened the fund's relative performance.
  • Top detractors from performance relative to the MSCI All Country World (ex-US) Growth Index:
    • Security selection and an overweight allocation to the consumer staples sector weakened relative performance.
    • An underweight allocation to the communication services sector further weighed on the fund's relative returns.

Factors Affecting Performance [Text Block]
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION OF FUND PERFORMANCE
  • For the twelve months ended May 31, 2025, Class R2 shares of the MFS International Growth Fund (fund) provided a total return of 15.14%, at net asset value. This compares with a return of 13.75% for the fund’s benchmark, the MSCI All Country World (ex-US) Index (net div). The fund's other benchmark, the MSCI All Country World (ex-US) Growth Index (net div), generated a return of 10.81%.
  • Global equity markets reached record levels during the period but fell back from those highs amid international trade friction in the early months of the second Trump term.  In Europe, renewed focus on defense and infrastructure spending brightened the outlook.
  • Market volatility rose toward the end of the period as the Trump administration imposed, then suspended for 90-days, an array of very high tariffs on most US trading partners. A temporary truce was reached separately with China, though tensions remain high. President Trump faces legal challenges to some of his tariff authority but has other mechanisms at his disposal if the challenges are successful. Sectoral tariffs remain in place.   
  • Moderating inflation pressures allowed many global central banks to ease monetary policy during the period. However, the pace of disinflation slowed toward the end of the period, particularly in the US, while tariffs made for a more difficult policymaking environment.  
  • In fixed income markets, global yields declined during the first quarter of the reporting period, then fluctuated within a narrow band for the remainder of the period as volatility persisted. Credit spreads declined throughout the reporting period, and remain near historical lows, despite a brief period of widening as tariff concerns took hold. US bond market volatility, as measured by the Merrill Lynch Option Volatility Estimate (MOVE) Index, ended the period near session lows after increasing around the US election and trade war.
  • Top contributors to performance relative to the MSCI All Country World (ex-US) Growth Index:
    • Security selection within the information technology, health care, industrials, and materials sectors strengthened the fund's relative performance.
  • Top detractors from performance relative to the MSCI All Country World (ex-US) Growth Index:
    • Security selection and an overweight allocation to the consumer staples sector weakened relative performance.
    • An underweight allocation to the communication services sector further weighed on the fund's relative returns.

Factors Affecting Performance [Text Block]
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION OF FUND PERFORMANCE
  • For the twelve months ended May 31, 2025, Class A shares of the MFS International Intrinsic Value Fund (fund) provided a total return of 14.19%, at net asset value. This compares with a return of 13.33% for the fund’s benchmark, the MSCI EAFE (Europe, Australasia, Far East) Index (net div).
  • Global equity markets reached record levels during the period but fell back from those highs amid international trade friction in the early months of the second Trump term.  In Europe, renewed focus on defense and infrastructure spending brightened the outlook.
  • Market volatility rose toward the end of the period as the Trump administration imposed, then suspended for 90-days, an array of very high tariffs on most US trading partners. A temporary truce was reached separately with China, though tensions remain high. President Trump faces legal challenges to some of his tariff authority but has other mechanisms at his disposal if the challenges are successful. Sectoral tariffs remain in place.   
  • Moderating inflation pressures allowed many global central banks to ease monetary policy during the period. However, the pace of disinflation slowed toward the end of the period, particularly in the US, while tariffs made for a more difficult policymaking environment.  
  • In fixed income markets, global yields declined during the first quarter of the reporting period, then fluctuated within a narrow band for the remainder of the period as volatility persisted. Credit spreads declined throughout the reporting period, and remain near historical lows, despite a brief period of widening as tariff concerns took hold. US bond market volatility, as measured by the Merrill Lynch Option Volatility Estimate (MOVE) Index, ended the period near session lows after increasing around the US election and trade war.
  • Top contributors to performance relative to the MSCI EAFE Index:
    • Security selection and an underweight position in the health care sector strengthened relative performance.
    • Security selection within the materials sector, coupled with favorable security selection and an overweight allocation to the financials sector, also benefited relative returns.
  • Top detractors from performance relative to the MSCI EAFE Index:
    • Security selection within the consumer staples sector weakened the fund's relative performance.
    • Not owning any stocks within the communication services sector further weighed on relative returns.

Factors Affecting Performance [Text Block]
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION OF FUND PERFORMANCE
  • For the twelve months ended May 31, 2025, Class R1 shares of the MFS International Intrinsic Value Fund (fund) provided a total return of 13.35%, at net asset value. This compares with a return of 13.33% for the fund’s benchmark, the MSCI EAFE (Europe, Australasia, Far East) Index (net div).
  • Global equity markets reached record levels during the period but fell back from those highs amid international trade friction in the early months of the second Trump term.  In Europe, renewed focus on defense and infrastructure spending brightened the outlook.
  • Market volatility rose toward the end of the period as the Trump administration imposed, then suspended for 90-days, an array of very high tariffs on most US trading partners. A temporary truce was reached separately with China, though tensions remain high. President Trump faces legal challenges to some of his tariff authority but has other mechanisms at his disposal if the challenges are successful. Sectoral tariffs remain in place.   
  • Moderating inflation pressures allowed many global central banks to ease monetary policy during the period. However, the pace of disinflation slowed toward the end of the period, particularly in the US, while tariffs made for a more difficult policymaking environment.  
  • In fixed income markets, global yields declined during the first quarter of the reporting period, then fluctuated within a narrow band for the remainder of the period as volatility persisted. Credit spreads declined throughout the reporting period, and remain near historical lows, despite a brief period of widening as tariff concerns took hold. US bond market volatility, as measured by the Merrill Lynch Option Volatility Estimate (MOVE) Index, ended the period near session lows after increasing around the US election and trade war.
  • Top contributors to performance relative to the MSCI EAFE Index:
    • Security selection and an underweight position in the health care sector strengthened relative performance.
    • Security selection within the materials sector, coupled with favorable security selection and an overweight allocation to the financials sector, also benefited relative returns.
  • Top detractors from performance relative to the MSCI EAFE Index:
    • Security selection within the consumer staples sector weakened the fund's relative performance.
    • Not owning any stocks within the communication services sector further weighed on relative returns.

  • Market volatility rose toward the end of the period as the Trump administration imposed, then suspended for 90-days, an array of very high tariffs on most US trading partners. A temporary truce was reached separately with China, though tensions remain high. President Trump faces legal challenges to some of his tariff authority but has other mechanisms at his disposal if the challenges are successful. Sectoral tariffs remain in place.   
  • Moderating inflation pressures allowed many global central banks to ease monetary policy during the period. However, the pace of disinflation slowed toward the end of the period, particularly in the US, while tariffs made for a more difficult policymaking environment.  
  • In fixed income markets, global yields declined during the first quarter of the reporting period, then fluctuated within a narrow band for the remainder of the period as volatility persisted. Credit spreads declined throughout the reporting period, and remain near historical lows, despite a brief period of widening as tariff concerns took hold. US bond market volatility, as measured by the Merrill Lynch Option Volatility Estimate (MOVE) Index, ended the period near session lows after increasing around the US election and trade war.
  • Top contributors to performance relative to the MSCI EAFE Index:
    • Security selection and an underweight position in the health care sector strengthened relative performance.
    • Security selection within the materials sector, coupled with favorable security selection and an overweight allocation to the financials sector, also benefited relative returns.
  • Top detractors from performance relative to the MSCI EAFE Index:
    • Security selection within the consumer staples sector weakened the fund's relative performance.
    • Not owning any stocks within the communication services sector further weighed on relative returns.

Factors Affecting Performance [Text Block]
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION OF FUND PERFORMANCE
  • The MFS Managed Wealth Fund's (fund) investment objective is to seek total return. MFS seeks to achieve the fund’s objective by generating returns from (1) a strategic allocation to three MFS equity funds, referred to as underlying funds, and (2) a tactical asset allocation overlay primarily using derivative instruments to seek to decrease the volatility of the fund’s returns by reducing the fund’s exposure to the equity and/or currency markets as represented by the underlying funds and also to potentially expose the fund to asset classes and/or markets in which the underlying funds have little or no exposure. In addition, MFS may seek to limit the fund’s exposure to certain extreme market events. It is expected that the fund will generally have lower volatility than the overall equity market and will generally underperform the equity markets during periods of rising equity markets.
  • For the twelve months ended May 31, 2025, Class A shares of the fund provided a total return of 5.77%, at net asset value. This compares with a return of 13.52% for the fund’s benchmark, the Standard & Poor's 500 Stock Index. The fund's other benchmark, the ICE BofA 0-3 Month U.S. Treasury Bill Index, generated a return of 4.81%.
  • Global equity markets reached record levels during the period but fell back from those highs amid international trade friction in the early months of the second Trump term.  In Europe, renewed focus on defense and infrastructure spending brightened the outlook.
  • Market volatility rose toward the end of the period as the Trump administration imposed, then suspended for 90-days, an array of very high tariffs on most US trading partners. A temporary truce was reached separately with China, though tensions remain high. President Trump faces legal challenges to some of his tariff authority but has other mechanisms at his disposal if the challenges are successful. Sectoral tariffs remain in place.   
  • Moderating inflation pressures allowed many global central banks to ease monetary policy during the period. However, the pace of disinflation slowed toward the end of the period, particularly in the US, while tariffs made for a more difficult policymaking environment.

US bond market volatility, as measured by the Merrill Lynch Option Volatility Estimate (MOVE) Index, ended the period near session lows after increasing around the US election and trade war.
  • Top contributors to absolute performance:
    • The fund's allocation to the MFS Growth Fund, MFS International Equity Fund, and the MFS Value Fund.
  • Top detractors from absolute performance:
    • The fund's short exposure to futures contracts on the Russell 1000® Growth Index, MSCI EAFE Stock Index, and Russell 1000® Value Index.

Factors Affecting Performance [Text Block]
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION OF FUND PERFORMANCE
  • The MFS Managed Wealth Fund's (fund) investment objective is to seek total return. MFS seeks to achieve the fund’s objective by generating returns from (1) a strategic allocation to three MFS equity funds, referred to as underlying funds, and (2) a tactical asset allocation overlay primarily using derivative instruments to seek to decrease the volatility of the fund’s returns by reducing the fund’s exposure to the equity and/or currency markets as represented by the underlying funds and also to potentially expose the fund to asset classes and/or markets in which the underlying funds have little or no exposure. In addition, MFS may seek to limit the fund’s exposure to certain extreme market events. It is expected that the fund will generally have lower volatility than the overall equity market and will generally underperform the equity markets during periods of rising equity markets.
  • For the twelve months ended May 31, 2025, Class I shares of the fund provided a total return of 6.09%, at net asset value. This compares with a return of 13.52% for the fund’s benchmark, the Standard & Poor's 500 Stock Index. The fund's other benchmark, the ICE BofA 0-3 Month U.S. Treasury Bill Index, generated a return of 4.81%.
  • Global equity markets reached record levels during the period but fell back from those highs amid international trade friction in the early months of the second Trump term.  In Europe, renewed focus on defense and infrastructure spending brightened the outlook.
  • Market volatility rose toward the end of the period as the Trump administration imposed, then suspended for 90-days, an array of very high tariffs on most US trading partners. A temporary truce was reached separately with China, though tensions remain high. President Trump faces legal challenges to some of his tariff authority but has other mechanisms at his disposal if the challenges are successful. Sectoral tariffs remain in place.   
  • Moderating inflation pressures allowed many global central banks to ease monetary policy during the period. However, the pace of disinflation slowed toward the end of the period, particularly in the US, while tariffs made for a more difficult policymaking environment.  
  • In fixed income markets, global yields declined during the first quarter of the reporting period, then fluctuated within a narrow band for the remainder of the period as volatility persisted. Credit spreads declined throughout the reporting period, and remain near historical lows, despite a brief period of widening as tariff concerns took hold. US bond market volatility, as measured by the Merrill Lynch Option Volatility Estimate (MOVE) Index, ended the period near session lows after increasing around the US election and trade war.
  • Top contributors to absolute performance:
    • The fund's allocation to the MFS Growth Fund, MFS International Equity Fund, and the MFS Value Fund.
  • Top detractors from absolute performance:
    • The fund's short exposure to futures contracts on the Russell 1000® Growth Index, MSCI EAFE Stock Index, and Russell 1000® Value Index.

Factors Affecting Performance [Text Block]
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION OF FUND PERFORMANCE
  • The MFS Managed Wealth Fund's (fund) investment objective is to seek total return. MFS seeks to achieve the fund’s objective by generating returns from (1) a strategic allocation to three MFS equity funds, referred to as underlying funds, and (2) a tactical asset allocation overlay primarily using derivative instruments to seek to decrease the volatility of the fund’s returns by reducing the fund’s exposure to the equity and/or currency markets as represented by the underlying funds and also to potentially expose the fund to asset classes and/or markets in which the underlying funds have little or no exposure. In addition, MFS may seek to limit the fund’s exposure to certain extreme market events. It is expected that the fund will generally have lower volatility than the overall equity market and will generally underperform the equity markets during periods of rising equity markets.
  • For the twelve months ended May 31, 2025, Class R3 shares of the fund provided a total return of 5.83%, at net asset value. This compares with a return of 13.52% for the fund’s benchmark, the Standard & Poor's 500 Stock Index. The fund's other benchmark, the ICE BofA 0-3 Month U.S. Treasury Bill Index, generated a return of 4.81%.
  • Global equity markets reached record levels during the period but fell back from those highs amid international trade friction in the early months of the second Trump term.  In Europe, renewed focus on defense and infrastructure spending brightened the outlook.
  • Market volatility rose toward the end of the period as the Trump administration imposed, then suspended for 90-days, an array of very high tariffs on most US trading partners. A temporary truce was reached separately with China, though tensions remain high. President Trump faces legal challenges to some of his tariff authority but has other mechanisms at his disposal if the challenges are successful. Sectoral tariffs remain in place.   
  • Moderating inflation pressures allowed many global central banks to ease monetary policy during the period. However, the pace of disinflation slowed toward the end of the period, particularly in the US, while tariffs made for a more difficult policymaking environment.  
  • In fixed income markets, global yields declined during the first quarter of the reporting period, then fluctuated within a narrow band for the remainder of the period as volatility persisted. Credit spreads declined throughout the reporting period, and remain near historical lows, despite a brief period of widening as tariff concerns took hold. US bond market volatility, as measured by the Merrill Lynch Option Volatility Estimate (MOVE) Index, ended the period near session lows after increasing around the US election and trade war.
  • Top contributors to absolute performance:
    • The fund's allocation to the MFS Growth Fund, MFS International Equity Fund, and the MFS Value Fund.
  • Top detractors from absolute performance:
    • The fund's short exposure to futures contracts on the Russell 1000® Growth Index, MSCI EAFE Stock Index, and Russell 1000® Value Index.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION OF FUND PERFORMANCE
  • For the twelve months ended May 31, 2025, Class A shares of the MFS Blended Research Growth Equity Fund (fund) provided a total return of 15.64%, at net asset value. This compares with a return of 13.12% for the fund’s benchmark, the Russell 3000® Index. The fund's other benchmark, the Russell 1000® Growth Index, generated a return of 17.62%.
  • Global equity markets reached record levels during the period but fell back from those highs amid international trade friction in the early months of the second Trump term.  In Europe, renewed focus on defense and infrastructure spending brightened the outlook.
  • Market volatility rose toward the end of the period as the Trump administration imposed, then suspended for 90-days, an array of very high tariffs on most US trading partners. A temporary truce was reached separately with China, though tensions remain high. President Trump faces legal challenges to some of his tariff authority but has other mechanisms at his disposal if the challenges are successful. Sectoral tariffs remain in place.   
  • Moderating inflation pressures allowed many global central banks to ease monetary policy during the period. However, the pace of disinflation slowed toward the end of the period, particularly in the US, while tariffs made for a more difficult policymaking environment.  
  • In fixed income markets, global yields declined during the first quarter of the reporting period, then fluctuated within a narrow band for the remainder of the period as volatility persisted. Credit spreads declined throughout the reporting period, and remain near historical lows, despite a brief period of widening as tariff concerns took hold. US bond market volatility, as measured by the Merrill Lynch Option Volatility Estimate (MOVE) Index, ended the period near session lows after increasing around the US election and trade war.
  • Top contributors to performance relative to the Russell 1000® Growth Index:
    • Security selection within the communication services, information technology, and health care sectors strengthened the fund's relative performance.
    • The combination of an overweight position and security selection within the utilities sector further supported relative returns.
  • Top detractors from performance relative to the Russell 1000® Growth Index:
    • Stock selection within the consumer discretionary, industrials, and consumer staples sectors held back relative results.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION OF FUND PERFORMANCE
  • For the twelve months ended May 31, 2025, Class I shares of the MFS Blended Research Growth Equity Fund (fund) provided a total return of 15.90%, at net asset value. This compares with a return of 13.12% for the fund’s benchmark, the Russell 3000® Index. The fund's other benchmark, the Russell 1000® Growth Index, generated a return of 17.62%.
  • Global equity markets reached record levels during the period but fell back from those highs amid international trade friction in the early months of the second Trump term.  In Europe, renewed focus on defense and infrastructure spending brightened the outlook.
  • Market volatility rose toward the end of the period as the Trump administration imposed, then suspended for 90-days, an array of very high tariffs on most US trading partners. A temporary truce was reached separately with China, though tensions remain high. President Trump faces legal challenges to some of his tariff authority but has other mechanisms at his disposal if the challenges are successful. Sectoral tariffs remain in place.   
  • Moderating inflation pressures allowed many global central banks to ease monetary policy during the period. However, the pace of disinflation slowed toward the end of the period, particularly in the US, while tariffs made for a more difficult policymaking environment.  
  • In fixed income markets, global yields declined during the first quarter of the reporting period, then fluctuated within a narrow band for the remainder of the period as volatility persisted. Credit spreads declined throughout the reporting period, and remain near historical lows, despite a brief period of widening as tariff concerns took hold. US bond market volatility, as measured by the Merrill Lynch Option Volatility Estimate (MOVE) Index, ended the period near session lows after increasing around the US election and trade war.
  • Top contributors to performance relative to the Russell 1000® Growth Index:
    • Security selection within the communication services, information technology, and health care sectors strengthened the fund's relative performance.
    • The combination of an overweight position and security selection within the utilities sector further supported relative returns.
  • Top detractors from performance relative to the Russell 1000® Growth Index:
    • Stock selection within the consumer discretionary, industrials, and consumer staples sectors held back relative results.

Factors Affecting Performance [Text Block]
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION OF FUND PERFORMANCE
  • For the twelve months ended May 31, 2025, Class R4 shares of the MFS Blended Research Growth Equity Fund (fund) provided a total return of 15.92%, at net asset value. This compares with a return of 13.12% for the fund’s benchmark, the Russell 3000® Index. The fund's other benchmark, the Russell 1000® Growth Index, generated a return of 17.62%.
  • Global equity markets reached record levels during the period but fell back from those highs amid international trade friction in the early months of the second Trump term.  In Europe, renewed focus on defense and infrastructure spending brightened the outlook.
  • Market volatility rose toward the end of the period as the Trump administration imposed, then suspended for 90-days, an array of very high tariffs on most US trading partners. A temporary truce was reached separately with China, though tensions remain high. President Trump faces legal challenges to some of his tariff authority but has other mechanisms at his disposal if the challenges are successful. Sectoral tariffs remain in place.   
  • Moderating inflation pressures allowed many global central banks to ease monetary policy during the period. However, the pace of disinflation slowed toward the end of the period, particularly in the US, while tariffs made for a more difficult policymaking environment.  
  • In fixed income markets, global yields declined during the first quarter of the reporting period, then fluctuated within a narrow band for the remainder of the period as volatility persisted. Credit spreads declined throughout the reporting period, and remain near historical lows, despite a brief period of widening as tariff concerns took hold. US bond market volatility, as measured by the Merrill Lynch Option Volatility Estimate (MOVE) Index, ended the period near session lows after increasing around the US election and trade war.
  • Top contributors to performance relative to the Russell 1000® Growth Index:
    • Security selection within the communication services, information technology, and health care sectors strengthened the fund's relative performance.
    • The combination of an overweight position and security selection within the utilities sector further supported relative returns.
  • Top detractors from performance relative to the Russell 1000® Growth Index:
    • Stock selection within the consumer discretionary, industrials, and consumer staples sectors held back relative results.

  • For the twelve months ended May 31, 2025, Class B shares of the MFS Blended Research Small Cap Equity Fund (fund) provided a total return of ‑6.34%, at net asset value. This compares with a return of 13.12% for the fund’s benchmark, the Russell 3000® Index. The fund's other benchmark, the Russell 2000® Index, generated a return of 1.19%.
  • Global equity markets reached record levels during the period but fell back from those highs amid international trade friction in the early months of the second Trump term.  In Europe, renewed focus on defense and infrastructure spending brightened the outlook.
  • Market volatility rose toward the end of the period as the Trump administration imposed, then suspended for 90-days, an array of very high tariffs on most US trading partners. A temporary truce was reached separately with China, though tensions remain high. President Trump faces legal challenges to some of his tariff authority but has other mechanisms at his disposal if the challenges are successful. Sectoral tariffs remain in place.   
  • Moderating inflation pressures allowed many global central banks to ease monetary policy during the period. However, the pace of disinflation slowed toward the end of the period, particularly in the US, while tariffs made for a more difficult policymaking environment.

Factors Affecting Performance [Text Block]
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION OF FUND PERFORMANCE
  • For the twelve months ended May 31, 2025, Class C shares of the MFS Blended Research Small Cap Equity Fund (fund) provided a total return of ‑6.40%, at net asset value. This compares with a return of 13.12% for the fund’s benchmark, the Russell 3000® Index. The fund's other benchmark, the Russell 2000® Index, generated a return of 1.19%.
  • Global equity markets reached record levels during the period but fell back from those highs amid international trade friction in the early months of the second Trump term.  In Europe, renewed focus on defense and infrastructure spending brightened the outlook.
  • Market volatility rose toward the end of the period as the Trump administration imposed, then suspended for 90-days, an array of very high tariffs on most US trading partners. A temporary truce was reached separately with China, though tensions remain high. President Trump faces legal challenges to some of his tariff authority but has other mechanisms at his disposal if the challenges are successful. Sectoral tariffs remain in place.   
  • Moderating inflation pressures allowed many global central banks to ease monetary policy during the period. However, the pace of disinflation slowed toward the end of the period, particularly in the US, while tariffs made for a more difficult policymaking environment.  
  • In fixed income markets, global yields declined during the first quarter of the reporting period, then fluctuated within a narrow band for the remainder of the period as volatility persisted. Credit spreads declined throughout the reporting period, and remain near historical lows, despite a brief period of widening as tariff concerns took hold. US bond market volatility, as measured by the Merrill Lynch Option Volatility Estimate (MOVE) Index, ended the period near session lows after increasing around the US election and trade war.
  • Top contributors to performance relative to the Russell 2000® Index:
    • Security selection within both the financials and real estate sectors strengthened relative performance.
  • Top detractors from performance relative to the Russell 2000® Index:
    • Stock selection within the information technology, energy, health care, and materials sectors held back the fund's relative results.
    • The combination of security selection and an underweight allocation to the consumer staples sector further weakened relative returns.

Factors Affecting Performance [Text Block]
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION OF FUND PERFORMANCE
  • For the twelve months ended May 31, 2025, Class R3 shares of the MFS Blended Research Small Cap Equity Fund (fund) provided a total return of ‑5.66%, at net asset value. This compares with a return of 13.12% for the fund’s benchmark, the Russell 3000® Index. The fund's other benchmark, the Russell 2000® Index, generated a return of 1.19%.
  • Global equity markets reached record levels during the period but fell back from those highs amid international trade friction in the early months of the second Trump term.  In Europe, renewed focus on defense and infrastructure spending brightened the outlook.
  • Market volatility rose toward the end of the period as the Trump administration imposed, then suspended for 90-days, an array of very high tariffs on most US trading partners. A temporary truce was reached separately with China, though tensions remain high. President Trump faces legal challenges to some of his tariff authority but has other mechanisms at his disposal if the challenges are successful. Sectoral tariffs remain in place.   
  • Moderating inflation pressures allowed many global central banks to ease monetary policy during the period. However, the pace of disinflation slowed toward the end of the period, particularly in the US, while tariffs made for a more difficult policymaking environment.  
  • In fixed income markets, global yields declined during the first quarter of the reporting period, then fluctuated within a narrow band for the remainder of the period as volatility persisted. Credit spreads declined throughout the reporting period, and remain near historical lows, despite a brief period of widening as tariff concerns took hold. US bond market volatility, as measured by the Merrill Lynch Option Volatility Estimate (MOVE) Index, ended the period near session lows after increasing around the US election and trade war.
  • Top contributors to performance relative to the Russell 2000® Index:
    • Security selection within both the financials and real estate sectors strengthened relative performance.
  • Top detractors from performance relative to the Russell 2000® Index:
    • Stock selection within the information technology, energy, health care, and materials sectors held back the fund's relative results.
    • The combination of security selection and an underweight allocation to the consumer staples sector further weakened relative returns.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION OF FUND PERFORMANCE
  • For the twelve months ended May 31, 2025, Class B shares of the MFS Blended Research Value Equity Fund (fund) provided a total return of 5.51%, at net asset value. This compares with a return of 13.12% for the fund’s benchmark, the Russell 3000® Index. The fund's other benchmark, the Russell 1000® Value Index, generated a return of 8.91%.
  • Global equity markets reached record levels during the period but fell back from those highs amid international trade friction in the early months of the second Trump term.  In Europe, renewed focus on defense and infrastructure spending brightened the outlook.
  • Market volatility rose toward the end of the period as the Trump administration imposed, then suspended for 90-days, an array of very high tariffs on most US trading partners. A temporary truce was reached separately with China, though tensions remain high. President Trump faces legal challenges to some of his tariff authority but has other mechanisms at his disposal if the challenges are successful. Sectoral tariffs remain in place.   
  • Moderating inflation pressures allowed many global central banks to ease monetary policy during the period. However, the pace of disinflation slowed toward the end of the period, particularly in the US, while tariffs made for a more difficult policymaking environment.  
  • In fixed income markets, global yields declined during the first quarter of the reporting period, then fluctuated within a narrow band for the remainder of the period as volatility persisted. Credit spreads declined throughout the reporting period, and remain near historical lows, despite a brief period of widening as tariff concerns took hold. US bond market volatility, as measured by the Merrill Lynch Option Volatility Estimate (MOVE) Index, ended the period near session lows after increasing around the US election and trade war.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION OF FUND PERFORMANCE
  • For the twelve months ended May 31, 2025, Class R1 shares of the MFS Blended Research Value Equity Fund (fund) provided a total return of 6.21%, at net asset value. This compares with a return of 13.12% for the fund’s benchmark, the Russell 3000® Index. The fund's other benchmark, the Russell 1000® Value Index, generated a return of 8.91%.
  • Global equity markets reached record levels during the period but fell back from those highs amid international trade friction in the early months of the second Trump term.  In Europe, renewed focus on defense and infrastructure spending brightened the outlook.
  • Market volatility rose toward the end of the period as the Trump administration imposed, then suspended for 90-days, an array of very high tariffs on most US trading partners. A temporary truce was reached separately with China, though tensions remain high. President Trump faces legal challenges to some of his tariff authority but has other mechanisms at his disposal if the challenges are successful. Sectoral tariffs remain in place.   
  • Moderating inflation pressures allowed many global central banks to ease monetary policy during the period. However, the pace of disinflation slowed toward the end of the period, particularly in the US, while tariffs made for a more difficult policymaking environment.  
  • In fixed income markets, global yields declined during the first quarter of the reporting period, then fluctuated within a narrow band for the remainder of the period as volatility persisted. Credit spreads declined throughout the reporting period, and remain near historical lows, despite a brief period of widening as tariff concerns took hold. US bond market volatility, as measured by the Merrill Lynch Option Volatility Estimate (MOVE) Index, ended the period near session lows after increasing around the US election and trade war.
  • Top contributors to performance relative to the Russell 1000® Value Index:
    • Security selection within the health care, materials, and real estate sectors strengthened the fund's relative performance.
  • Top detractors from performance relative to the Russell 1000® Value Index:
    • Stock selection within the industrials, consumer staples, utilities, and financials sectors held back relative results.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION OF FUND PERFORMANCE
  • For the twelve months ended May 31, 2025, Class R6 shares of the MFS Blended Research Value Equity Fund (fund) provided a total return of 6.60%, at net asset value. This compares with a return of 13.12% for the fund’s benchmark, the Russell 3000® Index. The fund's other benchmark, the Russell 1000® Value Index, generated a return of 8.91%.
  • Global equity markets reached record levels during the period but fell back from those highs amid international trade friction in the early months of the second Trump term.  In Europe, renewed focus on defense and infrastructure spending brightened the outlook.
  • Market volatility rose toward the end of the period as the Trump administration imposed, then suspended for 90-days, an array of very high tariffs on most US trading partners. A temporary truce was reached separately with China, though tensions remain high. President Trump faces legal challenges to some of his tariff authority but has other mechanisms at his disposal if the challenges are successful. Sectoral tariffs remain in place.   
  • Moderating inflation pressures allowed many global central banks to ease monetary policy during the period. However, the pace of disinflation slowed toward the end of the period, particularly in the US, while tariffs made for a more difficult policymaking environment.  
  • In fixed income markets, global yields declined during the first quarter of the reporting period, then fluctuated within a narrow band for the remainder of the period as volatility persisted. Credit spreads declined throughout the reporting period, and remain near historical lows, despite a brief period of widening as tariff concerns took hold. US bond market volatility, as measured by the Merrill Lynch Option Volatility Estimate (MOVE) Index, ended the period near session lows after increasing around the US election and trade war.
  • Top contributors to performance relative to the Russell 1000® Value Index:
    • Security selection within the health care, materials, and real estate sectors strengthened the fund's relative performance.
  • Top detractors from performance relative to the Russell 1000® Value Index:
    • Stock selection within the industrials, consumer staples, utilities, and financials sectors held back relative results.

Factors Affecting Performance [Text Block]
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION OF FUND PERFORMANCE
  • For the twelve months ended May 31, 2025, Class I shares of the MFS Blended Research Mid Cap Equity Fund (fund) provided a total return of 7.93%, at net asset value. This compares with a return of 13.12% for the fund’s benchmark, the Russell 3000® Index. The fund's other benchmark, the Russell Midcap® Index, generated a return of 10.32%.
  • Global equity markets reached record levels during the period but fell back from those highs amid international trade friction in the early months of the second Trump term.  In Europe, renewed focus on defense and infrastructure spending brightened the outlook.
  • Market volatility rose toward the end of the period as the Trump administration imposed, then suspended for 90-days, an array of very high tariffs on most US trading partners. A temporary truce was reached separately with China, though tensions remain high. President Trump faces legal challenges to some of his tariff authority but has other mechanisms at his disposal if the challenges are successful. Sectoral tariffs remain in place.   
  • Moderating inflation pressures allowed many global central banks to ease monetary policy during the period. However, the pace of disinflation slowed toward the end of the period, particularly in the US, while tariffs made for a more difficult policymaking environment.  
  • In fixed income markets, global yields declined during the first quarter of the reporting period, then fluctuated within a narrow band for the remainder of the period as volatility persisted. Credit spreads declined throughout the reporting period, and remain near historical lows, despite a brief period of widening as tariff concerns took hold. US bond market volatility, as measured by the Merrill Lynch Option Volatility Estimate (MOVE) Index, ended the period near session lows after increasing around the US election and trade war.
  • Top contributors to performance relative to the Russell Midcap® Index:
    • Security selection within both the communication services and utilities sectors strengthened the fund's relative performance.
    • The combination of stock selection and an underweight position in the consumer staples sector also helped relative returns.
  • Top detractors from performance relative to the Russell Midcap® Index:
    • Stock selection within both the consumer discretionary and industrials sectors held back relative performance.

Factors Affecting Performance [Text Block]
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION OF FUND PERFORMANCE
  • For the twelve months ended May 31, 2025, Class R4 shares of the MFS Blended Research Mid Cap Equity Fund (fund) provided a total return of 7.97%, at net asset value. This compares with a return of 13.12% for the fund’s benchmark, the Russell 3000® Index. The fund's other benchmark, the Russell Midcap® Index, generated a return of 10.32%.
  • Global equity markets reached record levels during the period but fell back from those highs amid international trade friction in the early months of the second Trump term.  In Europe, renewed focus on defense and infrastructure spending brightened the outlook.
  • Market volatility rose toward the end of the period as the Trump administration imposed, then suspended for 90-days, an array of very high tariffs on most US trading partners. A temporary truce was reached separately with China, though tensions remain high. President Trump faces legal challenges to some of his tariff authority but has other mechanisms at his disposal if the challenges are successful. Sectoral tariffs remain in place.   
  • Moderating inflation pressures allowed many global central banks to ease monetary policy during the period. However, the pace of disinflation slowed toward the end of the period, particularly in the US, while tariffs made for a more difficult policymaking environment.  
  • In fixed income markets, global yields declined during the first quarter of the reporting period, then fluctuated within a narrow band for the remainder of the period as volatility persisted. Credit spreads declined throughout the reporting period, and remain near historical lows, despite a brief period of widening as tariff concerns took hold. US bond market volatility, as measured by the Merrill Lynch Option Volatility Estimate (MOVE) Index, ended the period near session lows after increasing around the US election and trade war.
  • Top contributors to performance relative to the Russell Midcap® Index:
    • Security selection within both the communication services and utilities sectors strengthened the fund's relative performance.
    • The combination of stock selection and an underweight position in the consumer staples sector also helped relative returns.
  • Top detractors from performance relative to the Russell Midcap® Index:
    • Stock selection within both the consumer discretionary and industrials sectors held back relative performance.

Factors Affecting Performance [Text Block]
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION OF FUND PERFORMANCE
  • For the twelve months ended May 31, 2025, Class I shares of the MFS International Large Cap Value Fund (fund) provided a total return of 19.33%, at net asset value. This compares with a return of 13.33% for the fund’s benchmark, the MSCI EAFE (Europe, Australasia, Far East) Index (net div). The fund's other benchmark, the MSCI EAFE (Europe, Australasia, Far East) Value Index (net div), generated a return of 18.72%.
  • Global equity markets reached record levels during the period but fell back from those highs amid international trade friction in the early months of the second Trump term.  In Europe, renewed focus on defense and infrastructure spending brightened the outlook.
  • Market volatility rose toward the end of the period as the Trump administration imposed, then suspended for 90-days, an array of very high tariffs on most US trading partners. A temporary truce was reached separately with China, though tensions remain high. President Trump faces legal challenges to some of his tariff authority but has other mechanisms at his disposal if the challenges are successful. Sectoral tariffs remain in place.   
  • Moderating inflation pressures allowed many global central banks to ease monetary policy during the period. However, the pace of disinflation slowed toward the end of the period, particularly in the US, while tariffs made for a more difficult policymaking environment.  
  • In fixed income markets, global yields declined during the first quarter of the reporting period, then fluctuated within a narrow band for the remainder of the period as volatility persisted. Credit spreads declined throughout the reporting period, and remain near historical lows, despite a brief period of widening as tariff concerns took hold. US bond market volatility, as measured by the Merrill Lynch Option Volatility Estimate (MOVE) Index, ended the period near session lows after increasing around the US election and trade war.
  • Top contributors to performance relative to the MSCI EAFE Value Index:
    • Security selection within both the consumer discretionary and utilities sectors strengthened relative performance.
    • An underweight position in the materials sector also benefited the fund's relative returns.
  • Top detractors from performance relative to the MSCI EAFE Value Index:
    • Security selection and an underweight allocation to the communication services sector weakened relative performance.
    • The fund's overweight position and security selection within the information technology sector further weighed on relative returns.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION OF FUND PERFORMANCE
  • For the twelve months ended May 31, 2025, Class R4 shares of the MFS International Large Cap Value Fund (fund) provided a total return of 19.34%, at net asset value. This compares with a return of 13.33% for the fund’s benchmark, the MSCI EAFE (Europe, Australasia, Far East) Index (net div). The fund's other benchmark, the MSCI EAFE (Europe, Australasia, Far East) Value Index (net div), generated a return of 18.72%.
  • Global equity markets reached record levels during the period but fell back from those highs amid international trade friction in the early months of the second Trump term.  In Europe, renewed focus on defense and infrastructure spending brightened the outlook.
  • Market volatility rose toward the end of the period as the Trump administration imposed, then suspended for 90-days, an array of very high tariffs on most US trading partners. A temporary truce was reached separately with China, though tensions remain high. President Trump faces legal challenges to some of his tariff authority but has other mechanisms at his disposal if the challenges are successful. Sectoral tariffs remain in place.   
  • Moderating inflation pressures allowed many global central banks to ease monetary policy during the period. However, the pace of disinflation slowed toward the end of the period, particularly in the US, while tariffs made for a more difficult policymaking environment.
