MFS® launched the firm’s 10th and 11th actively managed ETFs today as they began trading on the NYSE Arca:
- MFS® Active International Value ETF (NYSE Arca: MIVL)
- MFS® Blended Research® Small-Mid Cap ETF (NYSE Arca: BRSM)
Both funds use a disciplined stock selection process to build portfolios for the long term. MIVL’s flexible valuation approach focuses on fundamental analysis of international equities. BRSM blends fundamental and quantitative research to create a balanced small-mid cap equity portfolio of US stocks.
“With the launch of our two equity ETFs, we are excited to expand our existing suite of actively managed ETFs as we continue to identify strategies that best support investor needs,” said Emily Dupre, National Sales Manager for MFS. “We are proud to have launched nine active ETFs across our equity, fixed income and Blended Research strategies in just under two years and believe that the new additions will complement and strengthen that existing range,” she added.
MIVL aims outperform the MSCI EAFE Value Index, while BRSM seeks to outperform the Russell 2500™ Index, with a targeted tracking error of 2% to the benchmark.
Each portfolio management team is driven by highly experienced members drawing on multiple decades of investment experience. Steve Gorham, David Shindler and Jed Stocks will manage the portfolio for the MFS Active International Value ETF. The MFS Blended Research Small-Mid Cap ETF will be co-led by Jonathan Sage and Jenney Zhang, with Nathan Bryant and Jed Stocks serving as portfolio managers; all are long-standing and experienced members of MFS’ Quantitative Solutions group.
As of May 31, 2026, MFS’ total Assets in the ETF suite surpassed $2.7 billion.
“Since launching active ETFs at the end of 2024, we have seen strong demand from distribution partners and investors across the US, especially as we continue to expand our lineup,” Dupre said. “We are excited to deepen this collaboration and broaden access to our ETFs on their platforms, which ultimately helps deliver better value to investors,” she added.
