                Sun Life MFS U.S. Growth Fund | Q4 2023
                The Russell 1000 Index (CA$) posted strong returns in the fourth quarter (Q4), gaining 9.2% on broad-based strength supported by better-than-expected earnings and hopes the U.S. Federal Reserve (the Fed) will cut interest rates early in 2024.
