In 1924, MFS introduced the first US open-ended mutual fund. It gave ordinary people access to professional management, a diversified portfolio, transparency into holdings and the ability to buy and sell shares at a fair price. These features are just as important today as they were a century ago.
In 2024, we launched our suite of actively managed ETFs as another way to help investors pursue their long-term goals, so they can build the futures they want.
And in April 2025, MFS was recognized by etf.com as the 2024 Best New ETF Issuer. 1

Exchange-Traded Funds (ETFs) trade like stocks, are subject to investment risk and will fluctuate in market value. Shares of ETFs are bought and sold at market price, not NAV, and are not individually redeemed from the fund. The market price at the time of sale may be higher or lower than the fund’s NAV, and any applicable brokerage commissions will reduce returns. There can be no guarantee that an active market for the funds will develop or be maintained.
Before investing, consider the fund's investment objectives, risks, charges and expenses. For a prospectus or summary prospectus containing this and other information, contact MFS or view online at mfs.com. Please read it carefully.
MFS registered investment products are offered through MFS® Fund Distributors, Inc., Member SIPC, 111 Huntington Avenue, Boston, MA 02199.
1etf.com Award winners were selected in a three-part process designed to leverage the insights and opinions of leaders throughout the ETF industry.
Step 1: The awards process began with open nominations, which commenced on December 2, 2024 and closed on January 10, 2025. Interested parties were invited to submit nominations via the publicly available submission form. Self-nominations were accepted. A single fund/issuer could be nominated for multiple awards as long as it met the criteria of the category. All entries related to funds were strictly for U.S.-listed ETFs.
Step 2: Following the open nominations process, the etf.com Awards Nominating Committee, made up of etf.com editorial staff, reviewed nominations. Nominations were screened for eligibility (appropriate timing and category). If more than five unique entries were received in the nomination process, the members of the Nominating Committee force-ranked their top five, resulting in a final slate for each category. Votes were resolved on a majority basis, and ties broken where possible with head-to-head runoff votes. If ties could not be broken, more than five finalists were allowed. The Nominating Committee completed this process and the short list of nominees was published on etf.com on January 30, 2025.
Step 3: Winners among the finalists were selected by a majority vote of the etf.com Award panel of judges, a group of independent ETF experts from the ETF industry. Judges recused themselves from voting in any category in which they or their firms appear as finalists. Ties were decided where possible with head-to-head runoff votes. Voting was complete by March 1, 2025. Results were kept confidential until they are announced at the etf.com Awards ceremony on April 23, 2025 and published on etf.com following the live event.
