Increasingly, investors are looking beyond risk identification to evaluate whether companies have effective systems to prevent, address, and remediate harm.

An investment in the Domini Funds is not a bank deposit and is not insured. Investing involves risk, including possible loss of principal. The market value of Fund investments will fluctuate. The Domini Impact Equity Fund is subject to certain risks including impact investing, portfolio management, information, market, equity securities, mid- to large cap companies’, and small-cap companies’ risks. The Domini Impact International Equity 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. The Domini Sustainable Solutions Fund is subject to certain risks including sustainable investing, portfolio management, information, market, equity securities, mid- to large-cap companies’, and small-cap companies’ 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. The Adviser’s evaluation of environmental and social factors in its investment selections and the timing of the Subadviser’s implementation of the Adviser’s investment selections will affect a Fund’s exposure to certain issuers, industries, sectors, regions, and countries and may impact the relative financial performance of a Fund depending on whether such investments are in or out of favor. The value of your investment may decrease if the Adviser’s or Subadviser’s judgement about Fund investments does not produce the desired results. A Fund may forego some investment opportunities including investments in certain market sectors that are available to funds that do not consider environmental and social factors in their investment selections. There is a risk that information used by the Adviser to evaluate environmental and social factors, may not be readily available or complete, which could negatively impact the Adviser’s ability to evaluate such factors and Fund performance.

PRI Assessment Methodology: PRI assessment scores are based on information reported directly by PRI signatories. All signatories are eligible to participate and those reporting must complete a survey response. The PRI’s 2025 Reporting Framework includes indicator (question)-level and module-level assessments. Each module includes a variety of indicators that address specific topics related to the signatory’s responsible investment activities. ‘Core’ indicators, which are mandatory, are assessed, while ‘plus’ indicators, which are voluntary, are not assessed. Each ‘core’ indicator receives a score from 0 to 100 points, and a multiplier is applied to its score based on its relative importance with respect to responsible investment practices and/or the PRI’s overall mission. Module scores are based on the total number of indicator points after multipliers have been applied. The number of stars signatories are allocated per module depends on the percentage score they achieve. There is no overall organization score. Results are compiled into an Assessment Report. PRI signatories pay a fee to be a member of the PRI, and the assessment scores are only made available to signatories. Domini’s assessment scores referenced herein do not reflect the experiences of any Domini client and readers should not view such information as representative of any particular client’s experience or assume that they will have a similar investment experience as any previous or existing client. Scores are not indicative of the past or future performance of any Domini product or service. Moreover, the underlying survey responses upon which assessment scores are based have not been audited by the PRI or any other party acting on its behalf. While every effort has been made to produce a fair representation of the assessment and its results, no representations or warranties are made as to the accuracy of the information presented, and no responsibility or liability can be accepted for damage caused by use of or reliance on the information contained herein. Information about the PRI’s assessment and scoring methodology is sourced entirely from the PRI, and Domini makes no representations, warranties or opinions based on that information.
