New York, NY, Tuesday, July 22nd, 2020 – The Domini Impact Equity Fund Investor Shares (ticker symbol DSEFX) ranks in the top 1% of the US Fund Large Blend category of mutual funds as calculated by Morningstar, a respected mutual fund ranking service, based on one-year risk-adjusted total return as of June 30, 2020. The one-year ranking is particularly exciting as the Domini Impact Equity Fund underwent a strategy change on December 1, 2018.

- The “U.S. Core” strategy, normally about 90% of the portfolio, is driven by Domini’s proprietary in-house social and environmental research of mid- to large-capitalization stocks and includes those with strong social and environmental profiles relative to their peers as determined by Domini.
- The “Thematic Solutions” strategy, typically about 10% of the portfolio, seeks to invest in solution-oriented companies across the full market-capitalization spectrum focused on themes that the world needs now including transition to a low-carbon, clean-energy future, development of sustainable cities and communities, access to clean, safe drinking water and sanitation, transition to sustainable agriculture and food systems, financial inclusion and support small-business development, and bridge the digital divide and empower sustainable economic growth.
