Our Funds: Green Century Equity Fund

The Green Century Equity Fund's objective is to achieve long-term total return which matches the performance of the Domini 400 Social(SM) Index, an index comprised of the stocks of 400 companies selected using environmental and social criteria. The majority of these companies are included in the Standard & Poors 500® Index and allow for a diversified investment in environmentally sound businesses.

The Equity Fund, like many other mutual funds invested primarily in stocks, carries the risks associated with investing in the stock market. In addition, the larger companies in which the Equity Fund's portfolio is primarily invested may perform worse than the stock market as a whole.

The environmental criteria employed to select companies in the Domini 400 Social(SM) Index include each company's performance record on waste disposal, toxic emissions, fines or penalties, and efforts in waste and emissions reductions, recycling, and use of environmentally beneficial fuels, products, and services. Social criteria examined include a company's employee relations, corporate citizenship, product-related issues, and attitudes regarding consumer issues.

In addition to actively excluding any companies that manufacture tobacco products or engage in the production of nuclear energy or weapons, the Domini 400 Social(SM) Index does not include companies that derive more than 2% of their revenue from military weapons, or companies that produce firearms or alcohol, or earn revenue from gambling facilities.
