INVESTMENT PROCESS AND DISCIPLINE


What makes us different from other international value managers?

Integrated global research platform• Collaborative culture critical to process• Combines equity, fixed-income, and quantitative analysis

Disciplined, consistent strategy• Seeks sustainable returns in various market environments• Assess investment opportunities in context of 3 to 5 year time horizon

Rigorous valuation discipline• Patient, contrarian approach• Focus on downside risk management

Distinguishing characteristics

Integrated approach to analyzing value and evaluating risk


GoalPer investment guidelines for Los Angeles Department of Water & Power, on an annual basis MFS isexpected to outperform the MSCI World ex U.S. IMI ND Index, net of fees, to be measured over a marketcycle of three-to-five years. The reference style for MFS is the MSCI World Value ex U.S. IMI ND Index.

Strategy

Invest rather than speculateMost market participants speculate on near-term information and over-react to short-term newsflow. • We invest on a 5 to 10 year time horizon. Our global research platform, collaborative investment

approach and compensation structure are all aligned with this timeframe.

Analyze rather than forecastMost market participants attach too much weight to forecasts, which often prove inaccurate, particularly at inflection points.• Typically, we seek an analytical advantage by evaluating the long-term quality, sustainability,

improvement potential and intrinsic value of businesses.

Focus on downside riskMost market participants overemphasize upside potential vs. downside risk.• We manage capital with the goal of avoiding stocks with substantial downside risk, and only invest

where valuations more than compensate for inherent risks.

Portfolio guidelines1. The portfolio shall be composed of cash equivalents and equity securities of companies doing business outside the United States (as defined using MSCI

classification of issuer or issue) with minimum market capitalizations of $200 million. Equity securities shall be restricted to those issues listed on the majorlocal-country stock exchanges. The markets that MFS can invest in are those within the following indices:a. Morgan Stanley-Capital World ex-U.S. Value Investable Market Index ND (MSCI World ex-U.S. Value IMI ND)b.

2. SEC Rule 144A international equity instruments with registration rights are fully permissible. Those instruments without registration rights must not exceed 10%of the lesser of cost or market value of any single international equity portfolio.

3. American Depository Receipts (ADRs) are permissible up to 2.5% of the total portfolio. Investing in Emerging Markets is prohibited. Emerging markets shall bedefined as those countries included in the MSCI Emerging Markets Investable Market Index ND.

4. In order to minimize transaction costs and market impact associated with country reclassification, and as MSCI reclassifies specific countries from one market toanother (such as from emerging to developed or frontier to emerging), MFS, with advance notification to the Retirement Plan Manager, may invest in suchcountries, subsequent to the announcement of MSCI’s formal reclassification and prior to its effective date.

5. MFS shall not use (non-currency) derivatives within the portfolio without the expressed written consent of the Plan. If MFS elects to use derivatives as part of itsinvestment strategy, the Plan requires that MFS document the rationale for using such instruments. MFS shall not invest in letter or restricted stock, nakedoptions or future contracts, and uncovered short positions or commodities. Use of any derivative instrument for speculation is prohibited.

6. Currency hedging up to a maximum of 25% of the portfolio (notional) is permitted for defensive purposes. Currency hedging shall be effected through the use offorward currency contracts and put and call options.

7. For prudent diversification the portfolio shall have a minimum of 30 issues quoted in at least 10 stock markets, although assets will not be specifically allocatedto individual countries or markets. No more than 5% of the portfolio at the lesser of cost or market value shall be invested in any one issue. In addition, no issueshall be purchased in the Portfolio if more than 15% of the outstanding shares of that company are held by the Manager in the total of all of its accounts.

MARKET OVERVIEW


Global equity markets continued their upward climb over the one-year period ending August 29, 2017, as investors responded to favorable earningsreports and improving fundamentals in both developed and emerging markets. The technology, financial services and materials sectors led the marketgains, reflecting the pro-growth, pro-cyclical sentiment of investors. The more defensive areas of the market, including Consumer Staples and HealthCare, lagged the index in the risk-on environment. Our approach to investing is conservative, with a primary focus on protecting our clients' capital inmarket downturns. We would expect the portfolio to underperform in a market characterized by risk-on, pro-growth and pro-cyclical leadership, in otherwords, the type of market we have experienced over the past year. A headwind to performance was our long-standing underweight to Financial Services, where we are avoiding the European banks due to their overlyindebted balance sheets and complicated, lower return business models. Owning Canadian insurer Fairfax Financial hurt relative returns after thecompany reported losses on equity short positions, and avoiding the European banks weighed on relative performance as the banks rallied on risinginterest rates. Our overweight to Consumer Staples, where we favor a number of steady, high quality, cash-generative companies, hurt relative returnsas the defensive area fell out of favor with investors. An underweight position in Materials, and our decision to own the higher quality and more consistentflavors and fragrance ingredient companies, rather than the miners, hurt relative returns as rising commodity prices fueled strong gains for the miningcompanies. Stock selection in Industrials also weighed on relative returns, after Australian logistics company Brambles brought down earnings guidancedue to increased near-term price competition, and Japanese parcel delivery company Yamato lowered earnings expectations due to rising labor costs. On a more positive note, our underweight and favorable stock selection in Health Care, where we avoided index constituent Teva Pharmaceuticals, aidedrelative returns. An underweight to Energy helped relative performance. And our overweight to Technology, specifically owning German semiconductormaker Infineon, aided relative returns as well. While our conservative approach to investing has been out of favor over the past year, market trends are likely to change abruptly at some point in thefuture, and our portfolio is positioned to provide downside protection when the inevitable correction occurs. The eight-year-old bull market islong-in-the-tooth, and equity valuations are elevated. The US is in a late stage of the business cycle, and the Federal Reserve is raising interest ratesand tightening monetary policy. Central banks in Europe and Japan may begin to taper their quantitative easing programs. Near-term growth in Europehas ticked up, but risks remain, including the overly indebted bank and government balance sheets, structural tensions in the Eurozone and uncertaintyrelated to Brexit. In China, growth has slowed and debt levels are rising. And tensions with North Korea and Russia are a source of hard-to-quantify risk.

Past performance is not a reliable indicator for future results. All financial investments involve an element of risk. The value of investments may rise and fall so you may get back less than originally invested. Investors should consider the risks, including lower returns, related to currency movements between their investing currency and the strategy's base currency, if different. Please note the composite shown is unrestricted and allows for investments in emerging markets and US securities.

Periods less than one year are actual not annualized.

MFS Investment Management® has been independently verified for the periods 1-Jan-1988 through 31-Dec-2015. Verification assesses whether (1) the firm has complied with all the composite construction requirements of the GIPS standards on a firm-wide basis and (2) the firm's policies and procedures are designed to calculate and present performance in compliance with the GIPS standards. MFS International Value Equity Composite has been examined for the periods 01-Dec-1997 through 31-Dec-2015. The verification and performance examination reports are available upon request.

Total Gross-of-fee returns in USD (includes both capital appreciation and income) are net of transaction costs, withholding taxes and direct expenses, but before management fees, custody and other indirect expenses. Certain institutional accounts hold Canadian trusts subject to custody and other indirect expenses. Certain accounts may be subject to fair valuation as conditions warrant. Typical separate accounts utilize 4:00 PM (London Time) foreign exchange rates; retail products will use rates deemed most appropriate for daily NAV per share calculations. The possibility exists for performance dispersion between otherwise similarly managed accounts and also with the benchmark. Net composite returns are prepared by subtracting from the monthly gross returns one-twelfth of the maximum applicable annual institutional separate account fee. Returns based on actual management fees, including non-separate account fees and performance based fees, would be lower for the following periods - 2007: 7.74; 2008: -31.49; 2009: 25.44. Total returns of the benchmark are provided for each period depicted, expressed in USD. Source of Benchmark Performance: FACTSET ®. Benchmark returns and benchmark annualized 3-year standard deviation are not examined by independent accountants. MSCI EAFE Value - Net Return - a market capitalization-weighted index that is designed to measure equity market performance for value securities in the developed markets, excluding the U.S. and Canada. Composite Dispersion is measured by the asset-weighted standard deviation of account returns for all accounts in the composite for the full period. For composites containing less than six accounts for the full period, dispersion is deemed not meaningful. Prior to 31-Mar-2009 accounts have been eligible for inclusion in the composite if they had assets greater than 5.0 MM USD. Composite Dispersion for 2016 was incorrectly stated to be 0.46 on the Q4 2016 report. The correct Composite Dispersion is 0.24. Certain accounts in this composite may make tactical allocation to U.S. and Canadian based securities, where each investment is deemed to be consistent with the composite's overall investment objective. For purposes of GIPS compliance, the firm is defined as MFS Investment Management® which is comprised of Massachusetts Financial Services Company (MFS) and MFS Institutional Advisors, Inc. (MFSI), each of which is a registered investment advisor, MFS Heritage Trust Company, a New Hampshire Trust company, and MFS Investment Management Canada Limited, a registered investment advisor. Total firm assets are calculated at market value and include assets managed by MFS, MFSI, MFS Heritage Trust Company and MFS Investment Management Canada Limited as well as assets managed by MFS and MFSI in a sub-advisory capacity on behalf of affiliated investment advisors that may or may not be registered under the United States Investment Advisers Act of 1940, such as MFS International (U.K.), Ltd. (MIL UK) and MFS Investment Management K.K. (MIMKK), MFS International Singapore Pte. Ltd and MFS International Australia Pty Ltd as well as assets managed by MFS and MFSI on behalf of unaffiliated investment advisors that may or may not be registered under the United States Investment Advisers Act of 1940. Total firm assets for GIPS purposes do not include assets of non-discretionary advisory relationships. In November of 2011 MFS acquired McLean Budden Limited (now MFS Investment Management Canada Limited). Total firm assets from 31-Mar-2012 forward include the assets of institutional and pooled MFS Investment Management Canada Limited products. Assets from 31-Dec-2012 forward include the MFS Investment Management Canada Limited PPM product assets. A complete list of firm composites and descriptions, along with additional information regarding policies for valuing portfolios, calculating and reporting performance, and preparing compliant presentations are available upon request.

GLOSSARY OF INVESTMENT TERMS


Glossary of termsAlpha is a measure of the difference between a portfolio's actual returns and its expected performance, given its level of risk asmeasured by beta. A positive alpha figure indicates the portfolio has performed better than its beta would predict. In contrast, anegative alpha indicates the portfolio's underperformance, given the expectations established by the fund's beta.

Beta is a measure of a portfolio's sensitivity to market movements. The beta of the market is 1.00 by definition. A portfolio with abeta of 0.85 would indicate that the portfolio is expected to perform 15% worse that the market's excess return during up marketsand 15% better during down markets , assuming all other factors remain constant.

Earnings-per-share (EPS) growth represents the annualized rate of net-income-per-share growth over the trailing three-yearperiod for the stocks held by the portfolio. Earnings-per-share growth gives a good picture of the rate at which a company hasgrown its profitability per unit of equity.

Excess return is defined as the portfolio's achieved rate of return minus the benchmark return over the same period.

Information ratio is a measure of risk adjusted performance. Dividing the portfolio active return by portfolio tracking error givesyou the information ratio.

Predicted tracking error (also called active risk) is a measure of the expected deviation from the benchmark.

Price/book ratio of the portfolio is the weighted average of the price/book ratios of all the stocks in the portfolio. Book value is thetotal assets of a company, less total liabilities. A company's book value is calculated by dividing the market price of its outstandingstock by the company's book value, and then adjusting for the number of shares outstanding (Stocks with negative book valuesare excluded from this calculation.). The price/book ratio can tell investors approximately how much they're paying for acompany's assets, based on historical, rather than current, valuations.

Price/cash flow is a stock's current price divided by the trailing 12-month cash flow per share. For the portfolio this numberrepresents the weighted average of the price/cash-flow ratios of the stocks in the portfolio. Price/cash-flow represents the amountan investor is willing to pay for a dollar generated from a particular company's operations. Price/cash-flow shows the ability of abusiness to generate cash and acts as a gauge of liquidity and solvency.


Glossary of terms (continued)

P/E (12 month forward) is a stock's current price divided by the company's trailing 12-month earnings per share. The (P/E) ratioof the portfolio is the weighted average of the price/earnings ratios of the stocks in the portfolio. The P/E ratio of a company,which is a comparison of the cost of the company's stock and its expected next 12-month earnings per share, is calculated bydividing these two figures.

Price/sales is a stock's current price divided by the company's trailing 12-month sales per share. For the portfolio this numberrepresents the weighted average of the price/sales ratios of the stocks in the portfolio. Price/sales represents the amount aninvestor is willing to pay for a dollar generated from a particular company's operations.

R-Squared is the measure of correlation between a portfolio and the market (benchmark). Values range between 0 and 1. Thehigher the value of R-Square, the greater the correlation between the two. R-squared can be used to determine the significanceof a particular beta or alpha. Generally, a higher R-squared will indicate a more useful beta figure. If the R-squared is lower, thenthe beta is less relevant to the fund's performance.

Realized tracking error (also called active risk) is a measure of the actual deviation from the benchmark.

Return on Equity (ROE) represents the amount of net income returned as a percentage of shareholders equity. Return on equitymeasures a corporation's profitability by revealing how much profit a company generates with the money shareholders haveinvested. ROE can be one measure of quality of a company.

Sharpe Ratio is calculated by using standard deviation and excess return to determine reward per unit of risk. The higher theSharpe ratio, the better the portfolio's historical risk-adjusted performance.

Standard Deviation is a statistical measurement of dispersion about an average and depicts how widely a portfolio's returnsvaried over a certain period of time. When a portfoliohas a high standard deviation, the predicted range of performance is wide,implying greater volatility.
