Social and Environmental Standards

To determine which securities are eligible for investment by the Fund, Domini will evaluate current and potential holdings against its social and environmental standards to assess the quality of a corporation’s relations with communities, customers, ecosystems, employees, investors, and suppliers. Domini may determine that a security is eligible for investment even if a corporation’s profile reflects a mixture of positive and negative social and environmental characteristics.

Who Should Invest:

Investors seeking long-term growth of capital. Investors committed to the Fund’s socially responsible investment standards.

 

Who Should Not Invest:

Investors unwilling or unable to accept moderate to significant fluctuations in share price.

 

1For the period reported in its current prospectus, during which net operating expenses were capped by the Fund’s Manager, the Fund’s gross annual operating expenses were estimated to total 2.63% of net assets. Until November 30, 2010, the Fund’s Manager has contractually agreed to waive certain fees and/or reimburse certain expenses, including management fees, so that expenses paid by the Fund will not exceed, on a per annum basis, 1.60% of its average daily net assets representing Investor shares, absent an earlier modification by the Board of Trustees, which oversees the Funds.
