AMY DOMINI WINS NOTRE DAME’S HESBURGH AWARD FOR BUSINESS ETHICS
Founder and CEO of Domini Social Investments Honored as Social Investing Pioneer

New York, NY – Amy Domini, founder and CEO of Domini Social Investments, was awarded Notre Dame University’s Rev. Theodore M. Hesburgh Award for Business Ethics yesterday. The award was presented by Father Hesburgh, Notre Dame’s president emeritus.

“I am pleased and honored to be recognized by Notre Dame,” Ms. Domini said. “I have dedicated myself for over 20 years to helping overcome the barriers that prevent people from investing with their values. The Hesburgh Award is an important recognition of the prominence of social investing and its importance as an essential tool to bring about a better future.”

The Domini 400 Social Index was created by Amy Domini and colleagues to determine whether social investing could perform as well as conventional investing. Morningstar calls the Domini Social Equity Fund, whose portfolio is based on this index, “a fine core holding for socially conscious investors.”^*

About Amy Domini

Ms. Domini’s involvement in social investing began in 1980 when she was working as a stockbroker. One of her clients, an avid birdwatcher, was uncomfortable investing in a paper company that used a highly toxic defoliant that endangered birds. Other investors wanted to avoid the stocks of tobacco companies and defense contractors.

Ms. Domini soon became a passionate proponent of socially responsible investing. In 1990, she and her colleagues introduced the Domini 400 Social Index, an index of 400 primarily large-cap U.S. corporations selected according to a wide range of social and environmental criteria. Over time, the index provided a track record that demonstrated that it is possible to achieve competitive returns while incorporating social and environmental standards into the investment process. Ms. Domini then founded the Domini Social Equity Fund and later launched Domini Social Investments.

Ms. Domini serves on the board of the Church Pension Fund of the Episcopal Church in America. She is a past board member of the National Association of Community Development Loan Funds, an organization whose members work to create funds for grassroots economic development loans, and the Interfaith Center on Corporate Responsibility, the major sponsor of shareholder actions. She is a member of the Boston Security Analysts Society.

Some of the Domini Social Bond Fund’s community development investments may be unrated and carry greater credit risks than its other investments. The Domini Social Bond Fund currently holds a large percentage of its portfolio in mortgage-backed securities. During periods of falling interest rates these securities may prepay the principal due, which may lower the Fund’s return by causing it to reinvest at lower interest rates.
