Thousands of starfish washed ashore.

A little girl began placing them back in the water

so they wouldn’t die.

“Don’t bother, dear,” her mother said,

“it won’t make a difference.”

The girl stopped for a moment and

looked at the starfish in her hand.

“It will make a difference to this one.”

LETTER TO SHAREHOLDERS

Dear Fellow Shareholder,

In thinking about the six months ending on January 31, 2023, the phrase of Shakespeare’s Macbeth, “full of sound and fury and signifying nothing,” comes to mind. We saw days of extreme optimism followed by dismal headlines only to revert again the following day. But when all was said and done, the semi-annual period resulted in a 1.3% decline of the S&P 500, a widely followed broad U.S. stock market index. That’s minor when taken in context of the swings of the period. Considering that interest rates were raised by the Federal Reserve five times, a record for a six-month period, this sideways drift was quite remarkable, and an indication that investors feel some confidence that the economy will benefit from these actions.

There were several reasons a major sell-off could have taken place. In addition to higher rates, we saw catastrophic weather pummel most of the globe and certainly most of our country. The war in Ukraine has not resolved. Our politicians still remain at opposite sides of the chasm on most policy decisions. Regulators ignored cryptocurrency and it imploded, destroying wealth as it did so. Yes, during such a period, a relatively flat stock market could be interpreted as a strong statement of confidence.

Among this dizzying swirl of events, there was one especially bright spot of special interest to responsible investors. The United Nations Biodiversity Conference (also known as the Biodiversity COP15), held in Montreal, Canada, produced an important, quite possibly planet-saving agreement to protect our natural world. 188 nations agreed to several key strategies aimed at preserving those species now at risk. One resolution is that transnational companies and financial institutions should shoulder a part of the burden by monitoring and disclosing their impacts on biodiversity.

There are those who argue that species loss doesn’t really matter to humans. But consider the effects of severe weather. Would the shorelines be better protected if oysters still thrived along them? Would watersheds naturally channel excess capacity downstream if wolves still kept deer off the banks, thereby allowing vegetation to secure the channel? While the Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework of the Biodiversity COP 15 has been adopted and outcomes are difficult to predict, the call for action is evidenced by the consensus of a vast number of nations. This provides hope that we can find a path forward to live in harmony with nature.

Each year we provide a topical essay that we believe is of interest to our shareholders. To celebrate the adoption of the Global Biodiversity Framework, Amy Domini’s essay “Back to Nature,” first published in 2014, seemed written for such an occasion. After almost ten years, the relevance and messages of this piece resonate today. Amy’s reflection that “untouched places gave me the ability to find peace in a bird’s stare” stirs us to recognize the value of nature in our lives. And her forthright challenge — to conserve more and live with less — is a reminder that we all have a role in protecting our planet.

We at Domini remain convinced that responsible investors are an essential part of the solution. We have long believed that we can harness the power of finance to help build a better future for all. We thank you for your ongoing support of the field and for your investment with us.

BACK TO NATURE

In this essay, Amy shares some personal memories about the virtues of spending time in nature. Companies, and we as consumers, hold a responsibility to safeguard nature and biodiversity. She sheds a light on what we need to do to get this done.

For most of my life, I have enjoyed taking long walks by myself in the woods and fields. When I was a young girl, these walks might have lasted a couple of hours. We lived in the Berkshire foothills, so the woods were hilly and full of boulders. As I grew into my teens and twenties, I spent time on Cape Cod and learned about walking over sandy beaches and rocky shores. In recent years, I’ve largely returned to the woods, where beaten trails are shaded and filled with discoverable wonders.

Walks provide a person with a chance to accomplish a great deal. One gets a bit of exercise, a chance to meditate, a chance to discover and, for some, the thrill of exhaustion. As a young girl, I could walk through woods that led to a cow farm. It was only because of an old stone wall that I knew a farm had once been on that location. There was a spongy spot marking a shallow spring, and it was surrounded by a yellow flower I knew was cowslip because I was a Girl Scout and studied such things.

Once, as I was resting against a fallen tree that often had bugs and mushrooms on it, a small bird stopped nearby. We locked eyes and stared at each other for a long time. When I went home, I tried to identify it but failed. Another area had small birch trees, some white and some black. The black birch has bark that is sweet, like spearmint, and I’d stop and suck on bits of it. The thin white birch trees were supple. I could pull their heads low and grab a spot. Then with a little jump I’d be lifted off my feet and gently set down in another spot.

Pristine natural environments give us a gift, and that gift is a lasting one. Pristine places are important. Much as I love the manicured parks of the great cities, and much as I love the manicured little garden on my own land, it was the earlier experience of untouched places that gave me the ability to find peace in a bird’s stare.

Today, I work with ethical investors, and I recognize that our natural environment is an important partner to humankind and to corporations. Corporations depend heavily on a functional natural ecosystem for so many things, but do they recognize that in a partnership there is give and take? That’s what ethical investors care about. For example, most U.S. home-building companies have a business model that is not great for the planet. They find a pristine place and put in roads and yards and houses. The houses they build have terrible carbon footprints and must be arrived at by car, another environmental problem. But in England, the laws are different. Houses are frequently built on old brownfields and other land that has been despoiled.

These houses are situated near public transit and bike lanes and are ecologically designed to function as a small village. The website of one company speaks of building around the centuries-old hedges that stood on the land.

So, there is good news. Climate change has not gone unnoticed by institutional investors, who for some years now have been putting pressure on corporate leadership to disclose their carbon footprints, to reduce their waste, and to manage their affairs with greater ecological efficiency. There is also good news on the corporate side as more and more companies take steps to do a better job.

Corporations depend heavily on a functional natural ecosystem for so many things, but do they recognize that in a partnership there is give and take?

Corporations in and of themselves are a problem, but they are not the only one. They survive by selling what people believe they need, or at least want. Who has not seen photographs of children living in favelas built on garbage heaps? Who has not seen photographs of children dipping a cup into a barrel of water, a barrel clearly labeled as containing hazardous materials? These children will never take a long walk out to where the birch trees sway. You and I are the problem, and the reason is our uncontrolled consumption.

Face it: Those reading this column have more than they need. A small home with sparse furnishings and a couple of changes of clothes was plenty for millennia. But because we want more, we feed the beast. And the beast of capitalism finds ways to get us more stuff at a price point we feel good about. That means creating externalities, like not caring where our T-shirt was made or how the copper was mined. We privatize profit to get to get ourselves stuff, while channeling the health and environmental costs onto those poor young children.

It is important that we enjoy and protect pristine spaces. It is also important that we live without every delight our minds can imagine. The pristine space and natural joys of childhood are giving way to our quest for stuff; when you think it through, that’s just wrong.

NOTE: The Fund’s current investment strategy commenced on December 1, 2018, with SSGA Funds Management, Inc as its subadviser. Performance information for periods prior to December 1, 2018, reflects the investment strategies employed during those periods.

Past performance is no guarantee of future results. The Fund’s returns quoted above represent past performance after all expenses. The returns reflect any applicable expense waivers in effect during the periods shown. Without such waivers, Fund performance would be lower. Investment return, principal value, and yield will fluctuate. Your shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Call 1-800-582-6757 or visit www.domini.com for performance information current to the most recent month-end, which may be lower or higher than the performance data quoted. A 2.00% redemption fee applied on sales or exchanges of shares made less than 30 days after the settlement of purchase or acquisition through exchange, with certain exceptions. The redemption fee was waived by the Fund’s Board of Trustees and was no longer imposed by the Fund effective August 16, 2021. Quoted performance data does not reflect the deduction of this fee, which would reduce the performance quoted. See the prospectus for further information.

Per the prospectus dated November 30, 2022, the Fund’s annual operating expenses totaled 1.05% and 0.73% (gross and net) for Investor and Institutional shares, respectively, and 1.37%/1.09% and 1.02%/0.80% (gross/net) for Class A and Class Y shares, respectively. The Fund’s adviser has contractually agreed to waive certain fees and/or reimburse certain ordinary operating expenses in order to limit Investor, Class A, Institutional, and Class Y share expenses to 1.09%, 1.09%, 0.74% and 0.80%, respectively. These expense limitations are in effect through November 30, 2023, absent an earlier modification approved by the Funds’ Board of Trustees.

The table does not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on Fund distributions or the redemption of Fund shares. Total return for the Fund is based on the Fund’s net asset values and assumes all dividend and capital gains were reinvested.

An investment in the Fund is not a bank deposit and is not insured. The Fund is subject to certain risks, including loss of principal, impact investing, portfolio management, information, market, mid- to large-cap companies, and small-cap companies risks. You may lose money.

Past performance is no guarantee of future results. The Fund’s returns quoted above represent past performance after all expenses. The returns reflect any applicable expense waivers in effect during the periods shown. Without such waivers, Fund performance would be lower. Investment return, principal value, and yield will fluctuate. Your shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Call 1-800-582-6757 or visit www.domini.com for performance information current to the most recent month-end, which may be lower or higher than the performance data quoted. A 2.00% redemption fee applied on sales or exchanges of shares made less than 30 days after the settlement of purchase or acquisition through exchange, with certain exceptions. The redemption fee was waived by the Fund’s Board of Trustees and was no longer imposed by the Fund effective August 16, 2021. Quoted performance data does not reflect the deduction of this fee, which would reduce the performance quoted. See the prospectus for further information.

Per the prospectus dated November 30, 2022, the Fund’s annual operating expenses totaled 4.36%/1.40% and 1.79%/1.15% (gross/net) for the Investor and Institutional Class shares, respectively. The Fund’s adviser has contractually agreed to waive certain fees and/or reimburse certain ordinary operating expenses in order to limit Investor and Institutional share expenses to 1.40% and 1.15%, respectively. These expense limitations are in effect through November 30, 2023, absent an earlier modification approved by the Funds’ Board of Trustees.

The table does not reflect the deduction of fees and 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 Fund is not a bank deposit and is not insured. The Fund is subject to certain risks, including loss of principal, foreign investing, geographic focus, country, currency, impact investing, portfolio management, and information 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. You may lose money.

The Morgan Stanley Capital International Europe Australasia Far East (MSCI EAFE) index (net) is an unmanaged index of common stocks. MSCI EAFE (net) includes the reinvestment of dividends net of withholding tax, but does not reflect other fees, expenses, or taxes. It is not available for direct investment.

Past performance is no guarantee of future results. The Fund’s returns quoted above represent past performance after all expenses. The returns reflect any applicable expense waivers in effect during the periods shown. Without such waivers, Fund performance would be lower. Investment return, principal value, and yield will fluctuate. Your shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Call 1-800-582-6757 or visit www.domini.com for performance information current to the most recent month-end, which may be lower or higher than the performance data quoted. A 2.00% redemption fee applied on sales or exchanges of shares made less than 30 days after the settlement of purchase or acquisition through exchange, with certain exceptions. The redemption fee was waived by the Fund’s Board of Trustees and was no longer imposed by the Fund effective August 16, 2021. Quoted performance data does not reflect the deduction of this fee, which would reduce the performance quoted. See the prospectus for further information.

Per the prospectus dated November 30, 2022, the Fund’s annual operating expenses totaled 1.99%/1.40% and 1.40%/1.15% (gross/net) for the Investor and Institutional Class shares, respectively. The Fund’s adviser has contractually agreed to waive certain fees and/or reimburse certain ordinary operating expenses in order to limit Investor share and Institutional share expenses to 1.40% and 1.15%, respectively. These expenses are limitations are in effect through November 30, 2023, absent an earlier modification approved by the Funds’ Board of Trustees.

The table does not reflect the deduction of fees and 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 Fund is not a bank deposit and is not insured. The Fund is subject to certain risks, including loss of principal, sustainable investing, portfolio management, information, market, 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. You may lose money.

The MSCI World Investable Market Index (net) (MSCI IMI) is a market capitalization weighted index representing the performance of large-mid- and small-capitalization companies in developed markets. The MSCI IMI includes the reinvestment of dividends net of withholding tax, but does not reflect other fees, expenses, or taxes. See the prospectus for more information. You cannot invest directly in an index.

Past performance is no guarantee of future results. The Fund’s returns quoted above represent past performance after all expenses. The returns reflect any applicable expense waivers in effect during the periods shown. Without such waivers, Fund performance would be lower. Investment return, principal value, and yield will fluctuate. Your shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Call 1-800-582-6757 or visit www.domini.com for performance information current to the most recent month-end, which may be lower or higher than the performance data quoted. A 2.00% redemption fee applied on sales or exchanges of shares made less than 30 days after the settlement of purchase or acquisition through exchange, with certain exceptions. The redemption fee was waived by the Fund’s Board of Trustees and was no longer imposed by the Fund effective August 16, 2021. Quoted performance data does not reflect the deduction of this fee, which would reduce the performance quoted. See the prospectus for further information.

Per the prospectus dated November 30, 2022, the Fund’s annual operating expenses totaled 1.34%, 1.37%, 0.89%, and 0.95% (gross and net) for the Investor, Class A, Institutional, and Class Y shares, respectively. The Fund’s adviser has contractually agreed to waive certain fees and/or reimburse certain ordinary operating expenses in order to limit Class A and Class Y share expenses to 1.40% and 1.12%, respectively. These expenses are limitations are in effect through November 30, 2023, absent an earlier modification approved by the Funds’ Board of Trustees.

The table does not reflect the deduction of fees and 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 Fund is not a bank deposit and is not insured. The Fund is subject to certain risks, including loss of principal, foreign investing and emerging markets, geographic focus, country, currency, impact investing, portfolio management and quantitative investment approach 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. You may lose money.

The Morgan Stanley Capital International Europe Australasia Far East (MSCI EAFE) index (net) is an unmanaged index of common stocks. MSCI EAFE (net) includes the reinvestment of dividends net of withholding tax, but does not reflect other fees, expenses, or taxes. It is not available for direct investment.

 

 

1Class Y Shares were not offered prior to July 23, 2018. All performance information for time periods beginning prior to July 23, 2018, is the performance of the Investor Shares. This performance has not been adjusted to reflect the lower expenses of the Class Y Shares.

Past performance is no guarantee of future results. The Fund’s returns quoted above represent past performance after all expenses. The returns reflect any applicable expense waivers in effect during the periods shown. Without such waivers, Fund performance would be lower. Investment return, principal value, and yield will fluctuate. Your shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Call 1-800-582-6757 or visit www.domini.com for performance information current to the most recent month-end, which may be lower or higher than the performance data quoted. A 2.00% redemption fee applied on sales or exchanges of shares made less than 30 days after the settlement of purchase or acquisition through exchange, with certain exceptions. The redemption fee was waived by the Fund’s Board of Trustees and was no longer imposed by the Fund effective August 16, 2021. Quoted performance data does not reflect the deduction of this fee, which would reduce the performance quoted. See the prospectus for further information.

Per the prospectus dated November 30, 2022, the Fund’s annual operating expenses totaled 1.08%/ 0.87%, 0.72%/0.57%, and 0.96%/0.65% (gross/net) for the Investor, Institutional, and Class Y Shares, respectively. The Fund’s adviser has contractually agreed to waive certain fees and/or reimburse certain ordinary operating expenses in order to limit Investor, Institutional, and Class Y share expenses to 0.87%, 0.57%, and 0.65%, respectively. These expense limitations are in effect through November 30, 2023, absent an earlier modification approved by the Fund’s Board of Trustees.

The table does not reflect the deduction of fees and 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 Fund is not a bank deposit and is not insured. The Fund is subject to certain risks, including loss of principal, impact investing, portfolio management, style, information, market, interest rate and credit risks. You may lose money.

During periods of rising interest rates, the Fund can lose value. Some of the Fund’s community development investments may be unrated and may carry greater credit risks than the Fund’s other holdings. The Fund currently holds a large percentage of its portfolio in mortgage-backed securities. During periods of falling interest rates, mortgage-backed securities may prepay the principal due, which may lower the Fund’s return by causing it to reinvest at lower interest rates.

Investments in derivatives can be volatile. Potential risks include currency risk, leverage risk (the risk that small market movements may result in large changes in the value of an investment), liquidity risk, index risk, pricing risk, and counterparty risk (the risk that the counterparty may be unwilling or unable to honor its obligations).

TBA (To Be Announced) securities involve the risk that the security the Fund buys will lose value prior to its delivery. There also is the risk that the security will not be issued or that the other party to the transaction will not meet its obligation, which can adversely affect the Fund’s returns.

The reduction or withdrawal of historical financial market support activities by the U.S. Government and Federal Reserve, or other governments/central banks could negatively impact financial markets generally, and increase market, liquidity, and interest rate risks which could adversely affect the Fund’s returns.

The Bloomberg U.S. Aggregate Index is an index representing securities that are U.S. domestic, taxable, and dollar denominated and covering the U.S. investment grade fixed rate bond market, with index components for government and corporate securities and asset-backed securities. You cannot invest directly in an index.

 

 

1Class Y shares were not offered prior to June 1, 2021. All performance information for time periods beginning prior to June 1, 2021, is the performance of the Investor shares. This performance has not been adjusted to reflect the lower expenses of the Class Y shares.

(a) The maximum potential amount the Fund could be required to pay as a seller of credit protection or receive as a buyer of credit protection if a credit event occurs as defined under the terms of that particular swap agreement.

(b) The prices and resulting values for credit default swap agreements on credit indices serve as an indicator of the current status of the payment/performance risk and represent the likelihood of an expected liability (or profit) for the credit derivative should the notional amount of the swap agreement be closed/sold as of the period end. Increasing market values, in absolute terms when compared to the notional amount of the swap, represent a deterioration of the referenced entity’s credit soundness and a greater likelihood or risk of default or other credit event occurring as defined under the terms of the agreement.

(c) If the Fund is a buyer/(seller) of protection and a credit event occurs, as defined under the terms of that particular swap agreement, the Fund will either (i) receive from the seller/(pay to the buyer) of protection an amount equal to the notional amount of the swap and deliver/(take delivery) of the referenced obligation or underlying securities comprising the referenced index or (ii) receive/(pay) a net settlement amount in the form of cash or securities equal to the notional amount of the swap less the recovery value of the referenced obligation of underlying securities comprising the referenced index.

DOMINI FUNDS EXPENSE EXAMPLE (Unaudited)

As a shareholder of the Domini Funds, you incur two types of costs:

(1) Transaction costs such as sales charges (loads) on Class A shares and

(2) Ongoing costs, including management fees, distribution (12b-1) fees, and other Fund expenses.

This example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds. The example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested on August 1, 2022 and held through January 31, 2023.

Certain Account Fees

Some accounts are subject to recurring annual service fees and maintenance fees that are not included in the expenses shown in the table. If your account was subject to these fees, then the actual account values at the end of the period would be lower and the actual expense would be higher. You may avoid the annual service fee by choosing paperless electronic delivery of statements, prospectuses, shareholder reports and other materials.

Actual Expenses

The line of the table captioned ‘‘Actual Expenses’’ below provides information about actual account value and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, together with the amount invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period as follows:

(1) Divide your account value by $1,000.

(2) Multiply your result in step 1 by the number in the first line under the heading ‘‘Expenses Paid During Period’’ in the table.

The result equals the estimated expenses you paid on your account during the period.

Hypothetical Expenses

The second line of the table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund’s return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and other mutual funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical example that appears in the shareholder reports of the other funds.

 

64


Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs, such as redemption fees. Therefore, the second line of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

1. ORGANIZATION

The Domini Investment Trust is a Massachusetts business trust registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 as an open-end management investment company. The Domini Investment Trust comprises five separate series: Domini Impact Equity Fund, Domini International Opportunities Fund, Domini Sustainable Solutions Fund, Domini Impact International Equity Fund and Domini Impact Bond Fund (each the “Fund,” collectively the “Funds”). The financial statements of the Domini Impact Bond Fund are included on page 111 of this report. Each Fund is an investment company and accordingly follows the investment company accounting and reporting guidance of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the “FASB”) Accounting Standard Codification Topic 946 “Financial Services — Investment Companies”.

The Domini Impact Equity Fund offers four classes of shares: Investor shares, Class A shares, Institutional shares, and Class Y shares. The Domini International Opportunities Fund offers two classes of shares: Investor shares and Institutional shares. The Domini Sustainable Solutions Fund offers two classes of shares: Investor shares and Institutional shares. The Domini Impact International Equity Fund offers four classes of shares: Investor shares, Class A shares, Institutional shares, and Class Y shares. The Investor shares, Institutional shares and Class Y shares are sold at their offering price, which is net asset value. The Class A shares are sold with a front-end sales charge (load) of up to 4.75%.

All classes of shares have identical rights and voting privileges with respect to the Fund in general and exclusive voting rights on matters that affect that class alone. Earnings, net assets, and net asset value per share may differ due to each class having its own expenses, directly attributable to that class. The Funds seek to provide their shareholders with long-term total return.

2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The following is a summary of the Funds’ significant accounting policies.

(A) Valuation of Investments. Securities listed or traded on national securities exchanges are generally valued at the last sale price reported by the security’s primary exchange or, if there have been no sales that day, at the mean of the current bid and ask price that represents the current value of the security. Securities listed on the NASDAQ National Market System are valued using the NASDAQ Official Closing Price (the ‘NOCP’). If an NOCP is not available for a security listed on the NASDAQ National Market System, the security will be valued at the last sale price or, if there have been no sales that day, at the mean of the current bid and ask price.

Securities for which market quotations are not readily available or are considered to be unreliable are valued at fair value as determined in good faith by Domini Impact Investments LLC (Domini), the Funds’ valuation designee.

Effective September 8, 2022, Domini was designated as the Funds’ valuation designee in accordance with Rule 2a-5 under the 1940 Act, with responsibility for fair valuation, subject to oversight by the Funds’ Board of Trustees.

The Domini International Opportunities Fund, Domini Sustainable Solutions Fund and Domini Impact International Equity Fund may invest primarily in the stocks of non-U.S. companies. Non-U.S. equity securities are valued on the basis of their most recent closing market prices at 4 p.m. Eastern Time on each day that the NYSE is open for trading except under the circumstances described herein. Most non-U.S. markets close before 4 p.m. Eastern Time. If Domini determines that developments between the close of the non-U.S. market and 4 p.m. Eastern Time will, in its judgment, materially affect the value of some or all of the Fund’s securities, it will adjust the previous closing prices to reflect what it believes to be the fair value of the securities as of 4 p.m. Eastern Time. In deciding whether to make these adjustments, Domini reviews a variety of factors, including developments in foreign markets, the performance of U.S. securities markets, and the performance of instruments trading in U.S. markets that represent foreign securities and baskets of foreign securities. Domini may also fair value securities in other situations, for example, when a particular foreign market is closed but the Fund is open. Outside pricing services approved by Domini may be used to provide closing market prices and information used for adjusting those prices. The fair value for a foreign security reported on by such service with a confidence level approved by Domini generally shall be the value provided by such service.

The valuation designee follows a fair value hierarchy that distinguishes between (a) market participant assumptions developed based on market data obtained from sources independent of the reporting entity (observable inputs) and (b) the valuation designee’s own assumptions about market participant assumptions developed based on the best information available in the circumstances (unobservable inputs). These inputs are used in determining the value of the Funds’ investments and are summarized in the following fair value hierarchy:

Level 1 — quoted prices in active markets for identical securities

Level 2 — other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, and evaluated quotation obtained from pricing services)

Level 3 — significant unobservable inputs (including the valuation designee’s own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments)

The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.

(B) Foreign Currency Translation. Securities and other assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollar amounts on the date of valuation. Purchases and sales of securities, and income and expense items denominated in foreign currencies, are translated into U.S. dollar amounts on the respective dates of such transactions. Occasionally, events impact the availability or reliability of foreign exchange rates used to convert the U.S. dollar equivalent value. If such an event occurs, the foreign exchange rate will be valued at fair value using procedures established and approved by the Board of Trustees. The Funds do not separately report the effect of fluctuations in foreign exchange rates from changes in market prices on securities held. Such fluctuations are included with the net realized and unrealized gain or loss from investments. Realized foreign exchange gains or losses arise from sales of foreign currencies, currency gains or losses realized between the trade and settlement dates on securities transactions, and the difference between the recorded amounts of dividends, interest, and foreign withholding taxes and the U.S. dollar equivalent of the amounts actually received or paid. Net unrealized foreign exchange gains and losses arise from changes in fair value of assets and liabilities other than investments in securities held at the end of the reporting period, resulting from changes in exchange rates.

(C) Foreign Currency Contracts. When the Funds purchase or sell foreign securities, they enter into foreign exchange contracts to minimize foreign

exchange risk from the trade date to the settlement date of the transactions. A foreign exchange contract is an agreement between two parties to exchange different currencies at an agreed-upon exchange rate on a specified date.

As of January 31, 2023, open foreign currency spot contracts were as follows:

(D) Investment Transactions, Investment Income and Dividends to Shareholders. Investment transactions are accounted for on trade date. Realized gains and losses from security transactions are determined on the basis of identified cost. Interest income is recorded on an accrual basis. Dividend income, net of any applicable withholding tax, is recorded on the ex-dividend date or for certain foreign securities, when the information becomes available to the Funds. The Funds earn income daily, net of Fund expenses. Dividends to shareholders of the Domini Impact Equity Fund are usually declared and paid quarterly from net investment income. Dividends to shareholders of the Domini International Opportunities Fund, the Domini Sustainable Solutions Fund and the Domini Impact International Equity Fund are usually declared and paid semiannually from net investment income. Distributions to shareholders of realized capital gains, if any, are made annually. Distributions are determined in conformity with income tax regulations, which may differ from generally accepted accounting principles. Reclassifications have been made to the Funds’ components of net assets to reflect income and gains available for distribution (or available capital loss carryovers, as applicable) under income tax regulations.

(E) Federal Taxes. Each Fund’s policy is to comply with the provisions of the Internal Revenue Code applicable to regulated investment companies and to distribute substantially all of its taxable income, including net realized gains, if any, within the prescribed time periods. Accordingly, no provision for federal income or excise tax is deemed necessary. As of January 31, 2023, tax years 2019 through 2022 remain subject to examination by the Funds’ major tax jurisdictions, which include the United States of America, the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, and New York State.

(F) Redemption Fees. Redemptions and exchanges of Fund shares held less than 30 days may be subject to the Funds’ redemption fee, which is 2% of the

amount redeemed. The fee is imposed to offset transaction costs and other expenses associated with short-term investing. The fee may be waived in certain circumstances at the discretion of the Funds. Such fees are retained by the Funds and are recorded as an adjustment to paid-in capital.

The redemption fee was waived by the Funds’ Board of Trustees and was no longer imposed by the Fund effective August 16, 2021.

(G) Other. Income, expenses (other than those attributable to a specific class), gains, and losses are allocated on a daily basis to each class of shares based upon the relative proportion of net assets represented by such class. Operating expenses directly attributable to a specific class are charged against the operations of that class.

(H) Transfer Agent Credits. Per the arrangement with the Funds’ former transfer agent, BNY Mellon Investment Servicing (U.S.) Inc., the Funds had arrangements prior to June 22, 2020, whereby they received earnings credits when positive cash balances were maintained. Such credits were used to offset transfer agency fees.

(I) Indemnification. The Funds’ organizational documents provide current and former trustees and officers with a limited indemnification against liabilities arising in connection with the performance of their duties to the Funds. In the normal course of business, the Funds may also enter into contracts that provide general indemnifications. The Funds’ maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would be dependent on future claims that may be made against the Funds. The risk of material loss from such claims is considered remote.

3. TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES

(A) Manager/Sponsor. The Funds have retained Domini to serve as investment manager and administrator. Domini is registered as an investment adviser under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940. The services provided by Domini consist of investment supervisory services, overall operational support, and administrative services. The administrative services include the provision of general office facilities and supervising the overall administration of the Funds. For its services under the Management Agreements, Domini receives from each

The Funds are subject to the provisions of Accounting Standards Codification ASC 740 Income Taxes (ASC 740). ASC 740 sets forth a minimum threshold for financial statement recognition of the benefit of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. The Funds did not have a liability to record for any unrecognized tax benefits in the accompanying financial statements. No provision has been made for taxes on income, capital gains or unrealized appreciation on securities held or for excise tax on income and capital gains.

7. OTHER RISKS

The Funds’ risks include, but are not limited to, some or all of the risks discussed below:

Market Risk. The market values of securities or other assets will fluctuate, sometimes sharply and unpredictably, due to changes in general market conditions, overall economic trends or events, governmental actions or intervention, market disruptions caused by trade disputes or other factors, political developments, recessions, inflation, changes in interest or currency rates, the spread of infectious illness or other public health issues, armed conflict, market disruptions caused by tariffs, trade disputes, sanctions or other government actions, or other factors or adverse investor sentiment that may or may not be related to the issuer of the security or other asset. If the market values of the securities or other assets held by the Funds fall, including a complete loss on any individual security, the value of your investment will go down. A change in financial condition or other event affecting a single issuer or market may adversely impact securities markets as a whole. Rates of inflation have recently risen. The value of assets or income from an investment may be

worth less in the future as inflation decreases the value of money. As inflation increases, the real value of the Funds’ assets can decline as can the value of the Funds’ distributions.

The global pandemic of the novel coronavirus respiratory disease designated COVID-19 has resulted in major disruption to economies and markets around the world, including the U.S. Global financial markets have experienced extreme volatility and severe losses, and trading in many instruments has been disrupted. Liquidity for many instruments has been greatly reduced for periods of time. Some sectors of the economy and individual issuers have experienced particularly large losses. These circumstances may continue for an extended period of time and may continue to affect adversely the value and liquidity of the Fund’s investments. Following Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, Russian securities have lost all, or nearly all, their market value. Other securities or markets could be similarly affected by past or future geopolitical or other events or conditions.

Governments and central banks, including the U.S. Federal Reserve, have taken extraordinary and unprecedented actions to support local and global economies and the financial markets. These actions have resulted in significant expansion of public debt, including in the U.S. The consequences of high public debt, including its future impact on the economy and securities markets, may not be known for some time. Although they have started to increase, interest rates are still very low, which means there is more risk that they may go up. U.S. Federal Reserve or other U.S. or non-U.S. governmental or central bank actions, including increases or decreases in interest rates, or contrary actions by different governments, could negatively affect financial markets generally, increase market volatility and reduce the value and liquidity of securities in which the Fund invests. Policy and legislative changes in the U.S. and in other countries are affecting many aspects of financial regulation, and these and other events affecting global markets, such as the U.K.’s exit from the European Union (or Brexit), potential trade imbalances with China or other countries, or sanctions or other government actions against Russia, other nations or individuals or companies (or their countermeasures), may contribute to decreased liquidity and increased volatility in the financial markets. The impact of these changes on the markets, and the implications for market participants, may not be fully known for some time.

Economies and financial markets throughout the world are increasingly interconnected. Economic, financial or political events, trading or tariff arrangements, armed conflict including Russia’s military invasion of Ukraine, terrorism, natural disasters, infectious illness or public health issues, cybersecurity events, supply chain disruptions, sanctions against Russia, other nations or individuals or companies and possible countermeasures, and other circumstances in one country or region could have profound impacts on other countries or regions and on global economies or markets. As a result, whether or not the Funds invest in securities of issuers located in or with significant exposure to the countries or regions directly affected, the value and liquidity of the Funds’ investments may be negatively affected.

1. ORGANIZATION

The Domini Impact Bond Fund (the “Fund”) is a series of the Domini Investment Trust. The Trust is a Massachusetts business trust registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 as an open-end management investment company. The Fund is an investment company and accordingly follows the investment company accounting and reporting guidance of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the “FASB”) Accounting Standard Codification Topic 946 “Financial Services — Investment Companies”.

The Fund offers three classes of shares: Investor Shares, Institutional Shares and Class Y shares. Each class of shares is sold at its offering price, which is net asset value.

Each class of shares has identical rights and voting privileges with respect to the Fund in general and exclusive voting rights on matters that affect that class alone. Earnings, net assets, and net asset value per share may differ due to each class having its own expenses, such as transfer and shareholder servicing agent fees and registration fees, directly attributable to that class. The Fund seeks to provide its shareholders with a high level of current income and total return.

2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The following is a summary of the Fund’s significant accounting policies.

(A) Valuation of Investments. Bonds and other fixed-income securities (other than obligations with maturities of 60 days or less) are valued on the basis of valuations furnished by an independent pricing service. In making such valuations, the pricing service utilizes both dealer-supplied valuations and electronic data processing techniques that take into account appropriate factors such as institutional-size trading in similar groups of securities, yield, quality, coupon rate, maturity, type of issue, trading characteristics, and other market data, without exclusive reliance upon quoted prices or exchange or over-the-counter prices, since such valuations are believed to reflect more accurately the fair value of such securities.

 

117


DOMINI IMPACT BOND FUND

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)

January 31, 2023 (Unaudited)

 

Securities of sufficient credit quality (maturing in 60 days or less) are valued at amortized cost, which constitutes fair value as determined by Domini Impact Investments LLC (Domini), the Fund’s valuation designee.

To Be Announced (TBA) or when-issued securities are valued at their issue price for up to five (5) trading days, or until broker quotes are readily available or an Authorized Pricing Service begins to provide quotations, whichever is shorter.

Derivative contracts traded on an exchange are valued at their most recent sale or official closing price on the exchange on which they are primarily traded, or, if no sales are reported on such exchange, at the mean between the last available bid and asked quotations on the exchange on which they are primarily traded.

Option contracts on securities, currencies and other financial instruments traded over-the-counter are valued at the most recent bid quotation in the case of purchased options and at the most recent asked quotation in the case of written options.

Futures contracts are valued at the most recent settlement price.

Foreign currency forward contracts are valued at the value of the underlying currencies at the prevailing currency exchange rates.

Swap contracts are valued at the evaluated price provided by an independent pricing service or, if a reliable price is not available, the quoted bid price from an independent broker-dealer.

Securities (other than short-term obligations with remaining maturities of 60 days or less) for which there are no such quotations or valuations are valued at fair value as determined in good faith by Domini, the Fund’s valuation designee.

Effective September 8, 2022, Domini was designated as the Fund’s valuation designee in accordance with Rule 2a-5 under the 1940 Act, with responsibility for fair valuation, subject to oversight by the Fund’s Board of Trustees.

The valuation designee follows a fair value hierarchy that distinguishes between (a) market participant assumptions developed based on market data obtained from sources independent of the reporting entity (observable inputs) and (b) the valuation designee’s own assumptions about market participant assumptions developed based on the best information available in the circumstances

(unobservable inputs). These inputs are used in determining the value of the Fund’s investments and are summarized in the following fair value hierarchy:

Level 1 — quoted prices in active markets for identical securities

Level 2 — other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, and evaluated quotation obtained from pricing services)

Level 3 — significant unobservable inputs (including the valuation designee’s own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments)

The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.

(B) Foreign CurrencyTranslation. Securities and other assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollar amounts on the date of valuation. Purchases and sales of securities, and income and expense items denominated in foreign currencies, are translated into U.S. dollar amounts on the respective dates of such transactions. Occasionally, events impact the availability or reliability of foreign exchange rates used to convert the U.S. dollar equivalent value. If such an event occurs, the foreign exchange rate will be valued at fair value using procedures established and approved by the Board of Trustees. The Fund does not separately report the effect of fluctuations in foreign exchange rates from changes in market prices on securities held. Such fluctuations are included with the net realized and unrealized gain or loss from investments. Realized foreign exchange gains or losses arise from sales of foreign currencies, currency gains or losses realized between the trade and settlement dates on securities transactions, and the difference between the recorded amounts of dividends, interest, and foreign withholding taxes and the U.S. dollar equivalent of the amounts actually received or paid. Net unrealized foreign exchange gains and losses arise from changes in fair value of assets and liabilities other than investments in securities held at the end of the reporting period, resulting from changes in exchange rates.

(C) Foreign Currency Contracts. When the Fund purchases or sells foreign securities it enters into foreign exchange contracts to minimize foreign exchange risk from the trade date to the settlement date of the transactions. A foreign exchange contract is an agreement between two parties to exchange different currencies at an agreed-upon exchange rate on a specified date. The Fund had no outstanding open foreign currency spot contracts as of January 31, 2023.

(D) Securities Purchased on a When-Issued or Delayed Delivery Basis. The Fund may invest in when-issued or delayed delivery securities where the price of the security is fixed at the time of the commitment but delivery and payment take

 

120


DOMINI IMPACT BOND FUND

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)

January 31, 2023 (Unaudited)

 

place beyond customary settlement time. These securities are subject to market fluctuation, and no interest accrues on the security to the purchaser during this period. The payment obligation and the interest rate that will be received on the securities are each fixed at the time the purchaser enters into the commitment. Purchasing obligations on a when-issued or delayed delivery basis is a form of leveraging and can involve a risk that the yields available in the market when the delivery takes place may be higher than those obtained in the transaction, which could result in an unrealized loss at the time of delivery. The Fund establishes a segregated account consisting of liquid securities equal to the amount of the commitments to purchase securities on such basis.

(E) TBA Purchase and Forward Sale Commitments. The Fund may enter into TBA commitments to purchase or sell securities for a fixed price at a future date. TBA commitments are considered securities in themselves and involve a risk of loss if the value of the security to be purchase or sold declines or increases prior to the settlement date, which is in addition to the risk of decline in the value of the Fund’s other assets.

(F) Derivative Financial Instruments. The Fund may invest in derivatives in order to hedge market risks, or to seek to increase the Fund’s income or gain. Derivatives in certain circumstances may require that the Fund segregate cash or other liquid assets to the extent the Fund’s obligations are not otherwise covered through ownership of the underlying security, financial instrument, or currency. Derivatives involve special risks, including possible default by the other party to the transaction, illiquidity, and the risk that the use of derivatives could result in greater losses than if it had not been used. Some derivative transactions, including options, swaps, forward contracts, and options on foreign currencies, are entered into directly by the counterparties or through financial institutions acting as market makers (OTC derivatives), rather than being traded on exchanges or in markets registered with the Commodity Futures Trading Commission or the SEC.

(G) Option Contracts. The Fund may purchase or write option contracts primarily to manage and/or gain exposure to interest rate, foreign exchange rate and credit risk. An option is a contract entitling the holder to purchase or sell a specific number of shares or units of an asset or notional amount of a swap (swaption), at a specified price. Options purchased are recorded as an asset while options written are recorded as a liability. Upon exercise of an option, the acquisition cost or sales proceeds of the underlying investment is adjusted by any premium received or paid. Upon expiration of an option, any premium received or paid is recorded as a realized gain or loss. Upon closing an option

 

121


DOMINI IMPACT BOND FUND

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)

January 31, 2023 (Unaudited)

 

other than through expiration or exercise, the difference between the premium and the cost to close the position is recorded as a realized gain or loss. The Fund had no purchased option contracts outstanding as of January 31, 2023.

(H) Futures Contracts. The Fund may purchase and sell futures contracts based on various securities, securities indexes, and other financial instruments and indexes. The Fund intends to use futures contracts for hedging purposes. Futures contracts provide for the future sale by one party and purchase by another party of a specified amount of a specified security or financial instrument at a specified future time and at a specified price. When the Fund purchases or sells a futures contract, the Fund must allocate certain of its assets as an initial deposit on the contract. The futures contract is marked to market daily thereafter, and the Fund may be required to pay or entitled to receive additional “variation margin,” based on decrease or increase in the value of the futures contract. Future contracts outstanding at January 31, 2023 are listed in the Fund’s Portfolio of Investments.

(I) Forward Currency Contracts. The Fund may enter into forward currency contracts with counterparties to hedge the value of portfolio securities denominated in particular currencies against fluctuations in relative value or to generate income or gain. These contracts are used to hedge foreign exchange risk and to gain exposure on currency. The U.S. dollar value of forward currency contracts is determined using current forward exchange rates supplied by a quotation service. The fair value of the contract will fluctuate with changes in currency exchange rates. The contract is marked to market daily and the change in fair value is recorded as an unrealized gain or loss. The Fund records a realized gain or loss equal to the difference between the value of the contract at the time it was opened and the value at the time it was closed when the contract matures or by delivery of the currency. The Fund could be exposed to risk if the value of the currency changes unfavorably, if the counterparties to the contracts are unable to meet the terms of their contracts or if the Fund is unable to enter into a closing position. Risk may exceed amounts recognized on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Forward currency contracts outstanding at January 31, 2023 are listed in the Fund’s Portfolio of Investments.

(J) Interest Rate Swap Contracts. The Fund may enter into interest rate swap contracts to hedge interest rate risk. An interest rate swap is an agreement between the Fund and a counterparty to exchange cash flows based on the difference between two interest rates, applied to a notional amount. Interest rate swap contracts are marked to market daily based upon quotations from an independent pricing service or market maker. Any change on an OTC interest rate swap is recorded as an unrealized gain or loss on the Statement of Assets

 

122


DOMINI IMPACT BOND FUND

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)

January 31, 2023 (Unaudited)

 

and Liabilities. Daily fluctuations in the value of centrally cleared interest rate swaps are settled though a central clearing agent and are recorded in variation margin on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities and recorded as unrealized gain or loss. OTC and centrally cleared interest rate swap contracts outstanding at January 31, 2023, are listed in the Fund’s Portfolio of Investments.

(K) Credit Default Swap Contracts. The Fund may enter into credit default swap contracts primarily to manage and/or gain exposure to credit risk. A credit default swap is an agreement between the fund and a counterparty whereby the buyer of the contract receives credit protection and the seller of the contract guarantees the credit worthiness of a referenced debt obligation. These agreements may be privately negotiated in the over-the-counter market (“OTC credit default swaps”) or may be executed in a multilateral trade facility platform, such as a registered exchange (“centrally cleared credit default swaps”). The underlying referenced debt obligation may be a single issuer of corporate or sovereign debt, a credit index, or a tranche of a credit index. In the event of a default of the underlying referenced debt obligation, the buyer is entitled to receive the notional amount of the credit default swap contract from the seller in exchange for the referenced debt obligation, a net settlement amount equal to the notional amount of the credit default swap less the recovery value of the referenced debt obligation, or other agreed upon amount. For centrally cleared credit default swaps, required initial margins are pledged by the fund, and the daily change in fair value is accounted for as a variation margin payable or receivable on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Over the term of the contract, the buyer pays the seller a periodic stream of payments, provided that no event of default has occurred. Such periodic payments are accrued daily as an unrealized appreciation or depreciation until the payments are made, at which time they are realized. Payments received or paid to initiate a credit default swap contract are reflected on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities and represent compensating factors between stated terms of the credit default swap agreement and prevailing market conditions (credit spreads and other relevant factors). These upfront payments are amortized over the term of the contract as a realized gain or loss on the Statement of Operations. OTC and centrally cleared credit default swap contracts outstanding at January 31, 2023 are listed in the Fund’s Portfolio of Investments.

(L) Total Return Swap Contracts. The Fund may enter into total return swaps to obtain investment exposures that are expected to correlate closely with the Index or a portion of the Index. Total return swaps are agreements in which there is an exchange of cash flows whereby one party commits to make

 

123


DOMINI IMPACT BOND FUND

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)

January 31, 2023 (Unaudited)

 

payments on the total return (coupon plus capital gains/losses) of an underlying instrument in exchange for fixed or floating rate interest payments. To the extent the total return of the instrument or index underlying the transaction exceeds or falls short of the offsetting interest rate obligation, the Fund will receive a payment or make a payment to the counterparty. During the term of the outstanding swap agreement, changes in the underlying value of the swap are recorded as unrealized gains and losses. Periodic payments received or made are recorded as realized gains or losses. The Fund is exposed to credit loss in the event of nonperformance by the swap counterparty. Risk may also arise from the unanticipated movements in value of exchange rates, interest rates, securities, or the index.

(M) Master Agreements. The Fund is a party to ISDA (International Swaps and Derivatives Association, Inc.) Master Agreements that govern OTC derivative and foreign exchange contracts (Master Agreements) with certain counterparties entered into from time to time. The Master Agreements may contain provisions regarding, among other things, the parties’ general obligations, representations, agreements, collateral requirements, events of default and early termination. With respect to certain counterparties, in accordance with the terms of the Master Agreements, collateral posted to the Fund is held in a segregated account by the Fund’s custodian and with respect to those amounts which can be sold or repledged, are presented in the Fund’s portfolio. Collateral pledged by the Fund is segregated by the Fund’s custodian and identified in the Fund’s portfolio. Collateral can be in the form of cash or other marketable securities as agreed to by the Fund and the applicable counterparty. Collateral requirements are determined based on the Fund’s net position with each counterparty.

With respect to ISDA Master Agreements, termination events applicable to the counterparty include certain deteriorations in the credit quality of the counterparty. Termination events applicable to the Fund include failure of the Fund to maintain certain net asset levels and/or limit the decline in net assets over various periods of time. In the event of default or early termination, the ISDA Master Agreement gives the non-defaulting party the right to net and close-out all transactions traded, whether or not arising under the ISDA agreement, to one net amount payable by one counterparty to the other. However, absent an event of default or early termination, OTC derivative assets and liabilities are presented gross and not offset in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Early termination by the counterparty may result in an immediate payment by the Fund of any net liability owed to that counterparty under the ISDA agreement.

In a centrally cleared swap, while the Fund enters into an agreement with a clearing broker to execute contracts with a counterparty, the performance of the swap is guaranteed by the central clearinghouse, which reduces the Fund’s exposure to counterparty risk. The Fund is still exposed to the counterparty risk through the clearing broker and clearinghouse. The clearinghouse attempts to minimize this risk to its participants through the use of mandatory margin requirements, daily cash settlements and other procedures. Likewise, the clearing broker reduces its risk through margin requirements and required segregation of customer balances.

(N) Investment Transactions, Investment Income, and Dividends to Shareholders. Investment transactions are accounted for on trade date. Realized gains and losses from security transactions are determined on the basis of identified cost. Interest income is recorded on an accrual basis. The Fund earns income daily, net of Fund expenses. Paydown gains and losses are recorded as an adjustment to interest income. Dividends to shareholders are usually declared daily and paid monthly from net investment income. Distributions to shareholders of realized capital gains, if any, are made annually. Distributions are determined in conformity with income tax regulations, which may differ from generally accepted accounting principles. Reclassifications have been made to the Fund’s components of net assets to reflect income and gains available for distribution (or available capital loss carryovers, as applicable) under income tax regulations.

(O) Federal Taxes. The Fund’s policy is to comply with the provisions of the Internal Revenue Code applicable to regulated investment companies and to distribute substantially all of its taxable income, including net realized gains, if any, within the prescribed time periods. Accordingly, no provision for federal income or excise tax is deemed necessary. As of January 31, 2023, tax years 2019 through 2022 remain subject to examination by the Fund’s major tax jurisdictions, which include the United States of America, the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, and New York State.

(P) Redemption Fees. Redemptions and exchanges of Fund shares held less than 30 days may be subject to the Fund’s redemption fee, which is 2% of the amount redeemed. The fee is imposed to offset transaction costs and other expenses associated with short-term investing. The fee may be waived in certain circumstances at the discretion of the Fund. Such fees are retained by the Fund and are recorded as an adjustment to paid-in capital.

The redemption fee was waived by the Fund’s Board of Trustees and was no longer imposed by the Fund effective August 16, 2021.

(Q) Other. Income, expenses (other than those attributable to a specific class), gains, and losses are allocated on a daily basis to each class of shares based upon the relative proportion of net assets represented by such class. Operating expenses directly attributable to a specific class are charged against the operations of that class.

(R) Transfer Agent Credits. Per the arrangement with the Fund’s former transfer agent, BNY Mellon Investment Servicing (U.S.) Inc., the Fund had arrangements prior to June 22, 2020, whereby it received earnings credits when positive cash balances were maintained. Such credits were used to offset transfer agent fees.

(S) Indemnification. The Fund’s organizational documents provide current and former trustees and officers with a limited indemnification against liabilities arising in connection with the performance of their duties to the Fund. In the normal course of business, the Fund may also enter into contracts that provide general indemnifications. The Fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would be dependent on future claims that may be made against the Fund. The risk of material loss from such claims is considered remote.

3. TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES

(A) Manager/Administrator. The Fund has retained Domini to serve as investment manager and administrator. The services provided by Domini consist of investment supervisory services, overall operational support, and administrative services, including the provision of general office facilities and supervising the overall administration of the Fund. For its services under the Management Agreement, Domini receives from the Fund a fee accrued daily and paid monthly at the annual rate of the Fund’s average daily net assets before any fee waivers of 0.33% of the first $50 million of net assets managed, 0.32% of the next $50 million of net assets managed, and 0.315% of net assets managed in excess of $100 million.

For its services under the Administration Agreement, Domini receives from the Fund a fee accrued daily and paid monthly at an annual rate equal to 0.25% of the Fund’s average daily net assets.

Effective November 30, 2022, Domini has contractually agreed to reduce its fees and/or reimburse certain ordinary operating expenses (excluding brokerage fees and commissions, interest, taxes, and other extraordinary expenses) in order to limit Investor, Institutional, and Class Y share expenses to 0.87%,

0.57%, and 0.65%, respectively, until November 30, 2023, absent an earlier

(B) Submanager. Wellington Management Company LLP (Wellington), a Delaware limited liability partnership, provides investment management services to the Fund on a day-to-day basis pursuant to a Submanagement Agreement with Domini.

(C) Distributor. The Board of Trustees of the Fund has adopted a Distribution Plan in accordance with Rule 12b-1 under the Act. DSIL Investment Services LLC (DSIL), a wholly owned subsidiary of Domini, acts as agent of the Funds in connection with the offering of Investor shares of the Funds pursuant to a Distribution Agreement. Under the Distribution Plan, the Fund pays expenses incurred in connection with the sale of Investor shares and pays DSIL a distribution fee at an aggregate annual rate not to exceed 0.25% of the average daily net assets representing the Investor shares. For the six months ended January 31, 2023, fees waived by DSIL for the Investor shares totaled $59,536.

(D) Shareholder Service Agent. The Trust has retained Domini to provide certain shareholder services to the Fund and its shareholders, which services were previously provided by the former transfer agent for the Fund or another fulfillment and mail service provider and are supplemental to services currently provided by Ultimus Fund Soultions, LLC (“Ultimus”), as transfer agent to the Fund, pursuant to a master services agreement between the Fund and Ultimus. For these services, Domini receives a fee from the Fund paid monthly at an annual rate of $4.00 per active account. For the six months ended January 31, 2023, Domini waived fees as follows:

Market Risk. The market values of securities or other assets will fluctuate, sometimes sharply and unpredictably, due to changes in general market conditions, overall economic trends or events, governmental actions or intervention, market disruptions caused by trade disputes or other factors, political developments, recessions, inflation, changes in interest or currency rates, the spread of infectious illness or other public health issues, armed conflict, market disruptions caused by tariffs, trade disputes, sanctions or other government actions, or other factors or adverse investor sentiment that may or may not be related to the issuer of the security or other asset. If the market values of the securities or other assets held by the Fund fall, including a

complete loss on any individual security, the value of your investment will go down. A change in financial condition or other event affecting a single issuer or market may adversely impact securities markets as a whole. Rates of inflation have recently risen. The value of assets or income from an investment may be worth less in the future as inflation decreases the value of money. As inflation increases, the real value of the Fund’s assets can decline as can the value of the Fund’s distributions.

The global pandemic of the novel coronavirus respiratory disease designated COVID-19 has resulted in major disruption to economies and markets around the world, including the U.S. Global financial markets have experienced extreme volatility and severe losses, and trading in many instruments has been disrupted. Liquidity for many instruments has been greatly reduced for periods of time. Some sectors of the economy and individual issuers have experienced particularly large losses. These circumstances may continue for an extended period of time and may continue to affect adversely the value and liquidity of the Fund’s investments. Following Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, Russian securities have lost all, or nearly all, their market value. Other securities or markets could be similarly affected by past or future geopolitical or other events or conditions.

Governments and central banks, including the U.S. Federal Reserve, have taken extraordinary and unprecedented actions to support local and global economies and the financial markets. These actions have resulted in significant expansion of public debt, including in the U.S. The consequences of high public debt, including its future impact on the economy and securities markets, may not be known for some time. Although they have started to increase, interest rates are still very low, which means there is more risk that they may go up. U.S. Federal Reserve or other U.S. or non-U.S. governmental or central bank actions, including increases or decreases in interest rates, or contrary actions by different governments, could negatively affect financial markets generally, increase market volatility and reduce the value and liquidity of securities in which the Fund invests. Policy and legislative changes in the U.S. and in other countries are affecting many aspects of financial regulation, and these and other events affecting global markets, such as the U.K.’s exit from the European Union (or Brexit), potential trade imbalances with China or other countries, or sanctions or other government actions against Russia, other nations or individuals or companies (or their countermeasures), may contribute to decreased liquidity and increased volatility in the financial markets. The impact of these changes on the markets, and the implications for market participants, may not be fully known for some time.

Economies and financial markets throughout the world are increasingly interconnected. Economic, financial or political events, trading or tariff arrangements, armed conflict including Russia’s military invasion of Ukraine, terrorism, natural disasters, infectious illness or public health issues, cybersecurity events, supply chain disruptions, sanctions against Russia, other nations or individuals or companies and possible countermeasures, and other circumstances in one country or region could have profound impacts on other countries or regions and on global economies or markets. As a result, whether or not the Fund invests in securities of issuers located in or with significant exposure to the countries or regions directly affected, the value and liquidity of the Fund’s investments may be negatively affected.
