Past performance is no guarantee of future results. The Fund’s returns quoted above represent past performance after all expenses. The returns reflect any applicable expense waivers in effect during the periods shown. Without such waivers, Fund performance would be lower. Investment return, principal value, and yield will fluctuate. Your shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost.

An investment in the Domini Impact International Equity Fund is not a bank deposit and is not insured. The Fund is subject to certain risks including foreign investing and emerging markets, geographic focus, country, currency, impact investing, portfolio management, and quantitative investment approach risks. Investing internationally involves special risks, such as currency fluctuations, social and economic instability, differing securities regulations and accounting standards, limited public information, possible changes in taxation, and periods of illiquidity. These risks may be heightened in connection with investments in emerging market countries. You may lose money. See the prospectus for more information on risk.
The performance above does not reflect the deduction of fees and taxes that a shareholder would pay on Fund distributions or the redemption of Fund shares. Total return is based on the Fund’s net asset values and assumes all dividends and capital gains were reinvested.
Although the Domini Impact International Equity Fund Investor shares are no-load, certain fees and expenses apply to a continued investment and are described in the prospectus.

Definitions
Annual Turnover is the lesser of purchases or sales for the trailing 12 months divided by the portfolio’s average trailing 13-month net asset values.
Price/Book Ratio is the weighted harmonic average of the price/book ratios of the stocks in the portfolio, which are the stocks’ most recent closing prices divided by their book value per share.
Price/Earnings Ratio is the weighted harmonic average of the price/earnings ratios of the stocks in the portfolio, which are the stocks’ most recent closing prices divided by their earnings per share over the trailing 12 months.
Return on Equity is the portfolio’s total net income less cash preferred dividends divided by the portfolio’s total common equity.
Tracking Error is the standard deviation of residual returns, which are the differences between fund’s projected returns and the index’s projected returns. Tracking error measures the degree of dispersion of fund returns around the index. Generally, the higher the tracking risk, the greater the active bets the manager has taken.
Beta is a measure of the volatility of a fund relative to its benchmark index. A beta greater (less) than 1 is more (less) volatile than the index.
