Until 11/30/15, Domini Social Investments LLC has contractually agreed to waive certain fees and/or reimburse certain expenses, including management fees, so that the Fund’s expenses will not exceed, on a per annum basis, 1.60% of the daily net assets representing Investor shares, absent an earlier modification by the Fund’s Board of Trustees.
All data as of 12/31/14 unless otherwise noted.
Past performance is no guarantee of future results. The Fund’s returns quoted above represent past performance after all expenses. Investment return, principal value, and yield will fluctuate so that an investor’s shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Select the Performance Tab above for more complete performance information, including returns current to the most recent month-end, which may be lower or higher than the performance data quoted. Each fund charges a 2.00% redemption fee on sales or exchanges of shares made less than 30 days after the settlement of purchase or acquisition through exchange, with certain exceptions. See the applicable prospectus for further information.
The performance quoted above does not reflect the deduction of 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. An investment in the Domini International Social Equity Fund is subject to market risks such as sector concentration and style risk. 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. An investment in the Fund is not a bank deposit and is not insured. You may lose money.
Although the Fund’s Investor shares are no-load, certain fees and expenses apply to a continued investment and are described in the prospectus. The composition of the Fund’s portfolio is subject to change. The Domini Funds maintain portfolio holdings disclosure policies that govern the timing and circumstances of disclosure to shareholders and third parties of information regarding the portfolio investments held by the Funds.
