A Greener, Enhanced Balanced Fund With Lower Fees, Strong Environmental Focus
At Green Century Funds°, we’re always looking for ways to help investors grow their nest egg while making a positive impact. That’s why we’re excited to announce some important updates to the Green Century Balanced Fund —changes that strengthen our environmental commitment, lower costs, and maintain the same values-driven approach that has guided us for nearly 35 years.
What’s Changing—and Why It Matters
Starting December 1, we are lowering fees for investors by reducing the Fund’s expense ratio by 21 basis points – bringing the gross expense ratio to 0.95% for the institutional share class and 1.25% for the investor share class. At the same time, we are keeping our high environmental standards—continuing to screen out fossil fuels, tobacco, and factory farms while pursuing investments that align with a cleaner, more sustainable future.
The updated Green Century Balanced Fund continues our tradition of actively managed, value-aligned investing, designed to help you save for the future in an environmentally responsible way. The expanded portfolio will provide greater diversification and is built to reduce tracking error, while the bond allocation remains a steady foundation through changing market conditions.
The Fund will be managed by a team of five seasoned portfolio managers at Northern Trust, a global leader in responsible investing. With their experience and disciplined approach, we are enhancing diversification across both stocks and bonds to help build resilience and long-term growth potential.
Staying True to Our Mission & Investing with Purpose
The updated Balanced Fund continues our tradition of actively managed, values-aligned investing.
These changes reflect Green Century’s long-standing leadership in sustainable investing—and our commitment to offering investors smart, mission-driven options for long-term growth.
Thank you for investing with Green Century and for supporting a fossil fuel free future.
