Letter to Shareholders

by Joseph Keefe, President

 

 

 

Dear fellow shareholders,

 

Over the first six months of 2022, US equity markets rapidly declined, punishing investors across the spectrum. The S&P 500 Index of large cap US stocks delivered a return of -20.0% in the first six months of 2022, its worst first half in more than 50 years. Global equities were down as well, with the MSCI ACWI returning -20.2% and the MSCI World Index of developed market stocks down -20.5% percent, the worst six-month start to a year since 1975.

 

While bond markets have historically provided shelter during such storms, this has not been the case during the market sell-off of 2022. Through June 30, the Bloomberg US Aggregate Bond Index returned (-10.4) percent, its worst first-half performance since 1976. June inflation was at 9.1%, a 40-year high.

 

US and global economies have been roiled by a series of setbacks including interest rate hikes to tame inflation, supply chain interruptions, labor shortages, food and energy shortages, war in Europe, Covid-related lockdowns in China and a somewhat bleak geopolitical landscape, all of which have sapped investor confidence.

 

Seeking to tame inflation, the Federal Reserve has raised interest rates by 1.5 percentage points over the first half of 2022 and is expected to continue implementing rate hikes in the second half of the year, joined by other central banks. As I write in mid-July, the economic consensus seems to be that it will be extremely difficult for the central banks to engineer a soft landing and that a recession appears to be on the near-term horizon. The most optimistic scenario at the moment may simply be that the recession is short-lived.

 

Impax-managed investment portfolios, including the Pax World Funds, have not escaped the market downturn so it has been a challenging six months for our investors as well. Our investment strategies typically invest in higher quality stocks which have been particularly hard hit during the market downturn. Additionally, the relative performance of Impax-managed portfolios has been negatively affected by a surging energy sector, as most of our portfolios – and each of the Pax World Funds – are fossil fuel-free1.

 

We continue to believe that our core investment thesis of investing in the transition to a more sustainable economy will play out favorably over the medium- to long-

term. We believe that businesses and capital markets will be shaped profoundly by global sustainability challenges over the next few decades. Some parts of the global economy, including certain sectors and industries, will face headwinds while others will enjoy tailwinds. Some companies will be well-positioned to benefit from the sustainability transition while laggards that fail to adjust will be left behind. We believe there will be clear investment risks but also enormous investment opportunities. At Impax, we seek to deliver superior risk-adjusted returns by avoiding or mitigating those risks while taking advantage of those opportunities.

 

We also continue to engage with the companies held in our investment portfolios to improve their environmental, social and governance performance. Last year, Impax undertook 204 company engagements on environmental issues including climate change, pollution and resource depletion; human capital issues such as diversity, equity, inclusion, environmental justice and health and safety; and corporate governance. Some 47% of these engagements resulted in progress and milestones achieved2. We filed shareholder resolutions on racial justice and pay equity. We engaged in public policy advocacy on issues including net zero emissions, greening the financial system, biodiversity loss and human capital management. In voting our proxies, we were pleased that ShareAction’s Voting Matters 2021 report3 ranked Impax 1st out of 65 asset managers on shareholder proposals covering environment, social and executive pay issues.

 

We no doubt live at a delicate historical moment. Deep political, social and cultural divisions – on issues ranging from guns to abortion to the continued viability of our democracy itself – are playing out in ways that we could never have imagined even a few years ago. We have yet to emerge from a global pandemic after two-and-a-half long years. Extreme weather events spurred by climate change are becoming more frequent, more costly and more lethal. We are witnessing a widespread loss of faith in governmental and other societal institutions that in turn yields a wave of cynicism and distrust.

 

And yet a delicate historic moment need not be a pessimistic historic moment. Our work at Impax proves that investors can make a difference, that companies can change, that capital markets can deliver improved social and environmental outcomes, and that progress is possible. As investors, and as citizens, there may be no better time than now to remind ourselves that this is the case.

Positive outcomes are classified as “progress achieved” or “milestone achieved” as assessed by Impax against engagement objectives.

The report examined how 65 of the world’s largest asset managers voted in 2021 across 146 social and environmental resolutions. ShareAction believes that proxy voting is a core part of an asset manager’s fiduciary duty and a key way in which the sector can influence companies on social and environmental issues. ShareAction is a non-profit working to build a global investment sector that takes responsibility for its impacts on people and planet. They seek to mobilize investors to take action to improve labor standards, tackle the climate crisis, and address pressing global health issues.

The road ahead will be fraught with risk and instability, but it will also be brimming with opportunity and promise. The transition to a more sustainable economy – and a more equitable society – will not be easy. All periods of historic transformation are disruptive. Change never comes in a straight line, nor is it inevitable. We must bring it into being.

 

At Impax, on behalf of our clients and investors, we remain focused on and committed to that important work.

 

Sincerely,

 

 

Joseph F. Keefe

Sustainable Investing Update

 

 

 

Senior Vice President
for Sustainable
Investing

 

Julie Fox Gorte, Ph.D.

 

“First they ignore you. Then they ridicule you. And then they attack you and want to burn you. And then they build monuments to you.”

 

Nicholas Klein, 1919

 

Sustainable investing can now be understood to be in the “attack and burn” phase of Nicholas Klein’s articulation of the journey that pioneers must often endure on the path to acceptance.

 

After years on the fringes of the financial system, we are delighted that investment strategies that integrate sustainability-related risks and opportunities are in the mainstream. With greater profile inevitably comes scrutiny and criticism, however. While the former is much needed, we believe the latter is often misplaced.

 

Until recently, many people did not think a worldview that embraces sustainability could be integrated into their financial plans without undermining investment returns. This idea has been thoroughly refuted through numerous financial and academic studies looking at empirical long-term outcomes.

 

Yet over the past few months, in particular, critics have sought to undermine the integrity of sustainable investing as a concept, levelling broad accusations at the investment community under the banner of ‘greenwashing’. Some of these criticisms, which have even come from former prominent practitioners of sustainable investing in some cases, are legitimate. Not all investors who claim to invest sustainably have been able to convince their clients and regulators of the authenticity of their commitment.

 

Regulatory authorities are now looking into the appropriate use of sustainability-related terms in the promotion of investment products. The EU has published a taxonomy of terms that define which funds can be classified as ‘sustainable’. The SEC meanwhile has proposed new rules that would compel investors who say they practice sustainable investing to report on how they integrate or employ sustainability criteria in portfolio decisions, engagement and proxy voting.

 

We believe these proposals and rules are necessary to protect both individual investors and bona fide sustainable investment managers. Those who can demonstrate that they have the tools, resources, people and controls to incorporate sustainability considerations into their portfolio decision-making, and in their engagement and proxy voting activities, should have nothing to worry about.

 

 

10

 

 

 

June 30, 2022

 

 

There is no single definition of what meets sustainability criteria, because “sustainability” is a term that encompasses dozens of individual factors. But differences of opinion in ratings that encompass numerous factors are nothing new in finance: you won’t find all investors agreeing on what makes a stock good value on financial grounds either. But authentic sustainable investors can articulate how they conceptualize sustainability and what exceeds or falls short of a sustainability threshold. Proxy voting records, which are public in the US (and are published on many investors’ websites, including our own), also attest to investors’ commitment to sustainability. Finally, more investors, including Impax, are transparent about their corporate engagement programs: the issues, the companies, and their accomplishments.

 

No monuments will be built to those who have been at the vanguard of the sustainable investing movement. But it is vital, for investors as well as for the planet and its people, that the industry’s gradual incorporation of sustainability-related risks and opportunities is a necessary and welcome development in finance. Not only are the challenges facing global society too important to ignore, but they can carry material risks to portfolios that must be understood and navigated.

 

We believe the opportunities for those who do so successfully could be significant and that the transition to a more sustainable economy will drive enormous changes in the global economy over the coming decades. We will continue to invest in companies and assets that we believe are well positioned to benefit from this transition.

Pax Large Cap Fund

 

 

 

Portfolio Manager

Portfolio Managers’ Comments

 

How did the Pax Large Cap Fund (the Fund) perform for the period?

 

For the six-month period ended June 30, 2022, the Institutional Class and Investor Class shares of the Fund, respectively, had total returns of -19.68% and -19.79%, compared to -19.96% for the S&P 500 Index and –19.66% for the Lipper Large-Cap Core Funds Index.

 

What factors contributed to the Fund’s performance?

 

Positive stock selection was the primary contributor to the Fund’s outperformance during the period, offset slightly by negative sector allocation, which was driven largely by the Fund’s zero weight in the Energy sector. Sectors that contributed to performance were Health Care, Communication Services, and Information Technology, while the Energy, Industrials and Financial sectors detracted from the Fund’s overall relative performance.

 

Can you discuss any significant changes to the Fund’s positioning throughout the period?

 

The portfolio managers increased exposure to the Communication Services, Materials, and Information Technology sectors during the period, while reducing exposure to Health Care and Real Estate. At the end of the quarter, the Materials sector became the largest overweight sector, and Energy was the most underweight sector.

 

What portfolio holdings contributed positively to performance?

 

T-Mobile, Vertex Pharmaceuticals, Bristol-Myers Squibb and Merck were significant contributors to performance in the first half of 2022. T-Mobile has strong recurring revenues and a long history of gaining market share, which we believe should provide management with the flexibility to execute on a significant share repurchase program over the next 36 months. Vertex has seen good results from its dominant position in Cystic Fibrosis (CF) therapy and is developing a strong pipeline for several novel therapies. Bristol-Myers is benefiting from a flight to safety revaluation, and the team has used this relative strength to reduce exposure to the company and diversify into companies with more durable

revenue characteristics. Merck has also benefited from the rotation into large cap pharmaceuticals. Merck’s diversified revenue base remains attractive, with a leading oncology business, paired with sizeable franchises in Animal Health and Vaccine categories.

 

What portfolio holdings detracted from performance?

 

Aptiv, Stanley Black & Decker, Applied Materials, and Trane detracted from performance in the period. Aptiv was weak as supply chain issues and inflation around input costs weighed on global automotive output expectations for the remainder of 2022.

 

Stanley Black & Decker is well positioned for the move from gas to electric tools, but short-term supply chain challenges and weaker global construction markets have weighed on shares.

 

Applied Materials saw production shortfalls because of COVID-related supply chain issues, which the company expects to continue in the short term. Long-term demand for semiconductor manufacturing equipment remains strong.

 

Trane has been weak this year due to supply chain bottlenecks, but the investment team is confident that the company’s long-term leadership positioning as a resource efficiency leader will lead to its continued success.

Portfolio Managers’ Comments

 

How did the Pax Small Cap Fund (the Fund) perform for the period?

 

For six-month period ended June 30, 2022, the Investor Class, Class A and Institutional Class shares of the Fund had total returns of –26.14%, -26.15% and -26.04%, respectively, compared to -23.43% for the Russell 2000 Index and –19.21% for the Lipper Small-Cap Core Funds Index.

 

What factors contributed to the Fund’s performance?

 

Small Cap stocks sold off in a highly volatile period for asset prices as the short-term prospects for continued economic growth became less likely. Persistent high inflation has led the Federal Reserve to increased base rates, and further rate hikes are anticipated before year end. Oil prices have continued to rise, as have many soft commodities, partly due to the ongoing crisis in Ukraine, and global supply disruptions have also contributed to inflation due to Covid related restrictions in China.

 

Among the largest detractors to relative performance was the Energy sector due to the Fund’s avoidance of the sector given that it is a fossil fuel-free portfolio. Despite the benchmark holding only a modest weight in Energy, this sector was responsible for more than half of the Fund’s underperformance during the period, as commodity prices surged. Stock selection in Industrials was also challenged as firms with more cyclical growth characteristics saw more weakness in share prices.

 

Can you discuss any significant changes to the Fund’s positioning throughout the period?

 

Over the course of the last six months, the portfolio managers have increased exposure to Real Estate and Financials, with offsetting reductions in exposure to Health Care and Industrials. The largest sector overweight is in Financials, and the

 

 

16

 

 

 

June 30, 2022

 

 

largest sector underweight is in Energy - an outcome of the fossil-fuel-free nature of the portfolio. The investment team continues to focus efforts on underlying stock selection while minimizing outsized sector bets.

 

What portfolio holdings contributed positively to performance?

 

Natus Medical is a medical device company that develops, manufactures, and markets screening products. The company’s products identify and monitor common medical disorders that may occur between conception to a baby’s first birthday. On April 18, 2022, Natus announced it was in the process of being acquired by AchiMed at a substantial premium.

 

Vocera Communications provides instant voice communication solutions. The company offers software applications, hands-free wearable voice-controlled communication badges, smartphones, and other wireless devices to medical facilities worldwide. On June 7, 2022 Stryker announced it was acquiring Vocera at a 27% premium to its preannouncement price.

 

What portfolio holdings detracted from performance?

 

AZEK, Inc., the 2nd largest US player in residential composite decking, rail and trim products, declined 63.80% in the period. The company reported solid earnings, but reduced guidance due to some temporary inflationary pressures that we believe will likely abate in 2023. Despite strong results, sentiment has become negative towards companies with exposure to residential construction, as expectations for a more challenging economic environment take shape.

 

Vertiv Holdings Company, a supplier of thermal and power management products and services for data centers and other end markets, was down 67.08% on a year-to-date basis. The shares sold off sharply in February as the company reported poor Q4 results and issued FY2022 guidance that was well below consensus due to poor execution on price/cost and supply chain constraints. Longer term demand remains solid as Vertiv is the #1 or #2 player in several key markets. The portfolio managers expect that once Vertiv has been able to pass on price increases, margins should improve.

Portfolio Managers’ Comments

 

How did the Pax US Sustainable Economy Fund (the Fund) perform for the period?

 

For the six-month period ended June 30, 2022, the Pax US Sustainable Economy Fund’s Investor Class, Class A, and Institutional Class shares had total returns of -19.88%, -19.88% and -19.76%, respectively, compared to -20.94% for the Russell 1000 Index and –20.35% for the Lipper Multi-Cap Core Funds Index.

 

What is the investment objective and strategy of the Fund?

 

The US Sustainable Economy Fund’s investment objective is to seek long-term growth of capital. The Fund uses a systematic strategy to invest in US companies that we believe are positioned to benefit from the transition to a more sustainable economy.

 

What contributed positively/negatively to performance?

 

The Fund harvests three systematic exposures which we believe drive returns in the transition to a more sustainable economy: the Impax Sustainability Lens (“the Lens”), The Impax Systematic ESG Rating, and Smart CarbonTM.

 

Sustainability Lens

 

We believe the Lens is a central tool to guide the Fund to identify sub-industries that will benefit from the transition to a more sustainable economy over the long-term. Over the reporting period, exposure to the Lens has been a headwind, as High Opportunity/Low-Risk areas of the market underperformed High-Risk/Low-Opportunity areas of the market by roughly 17%. High-Risk industries related to oil and gas delivered strong performance over most of the reporting period as inflation and the conflict in Ukraine were headline issues, but their outperformance tempered as market participants shifted their attention to the risk of an economic slowdown. The negative performance of the Lens was offset by positive stock selection driven by higher rated ESG companies.

 

 

20

 

 

 

June 30, 2022

 

 

Pharmaceuticals, a High Opportunity industry as identified by the Lens, saw positive returns in the last few months of the period led by what we identify as leaders Bristol-Myers Squibb and Eli Lilly. In addition, the Fund benefited from the Lens-driven underweights to areas of the market that posted weaker returns, such as like Internet & Direct Retail Marketing, Automobile Manufacturing and Movies & Entertainment.

 

ESG Rating

 

We believe that stocks with low ESG ratings, as determined by the Impax Systematic ESG Rating, tend to have higher volatility ratings and lower risk-adjusted returns over time. As a result, we believe that securities with high ESG ratings will be better positioned to benefit from the transition to a more sustainable economy than the broad index.

 

The Fund’s overall positioning towards securities with higher ESG ratings has been a key driver of excess return this year as securities with ESG scores ranked in the top half of the investment universe have outperformed higher risk securities with lower ESG scores. There were a few standout performers with high ESG ratings, including Bristol-Myers Squibb, Metlife and Verizon. In addition, avoiding or underweighting what we identify as laggards, such as Meta Platforms, Tesla and Twilio added to the Fund’s performance.

 

SmartCarbonTM Attribution

 

Not owning traditional Energy companies has been a consistent headwind to the Fund in 2022, although this detractor was less prevalent in the second quarter. The Fund’s SmartCarbonTM framework, which replaces the traditional energy exposure with companies that are focused on reducing energy consumption through energy efficient solutions, also detracted from performance. The Information Technology and Industrials sectors, which contain many of our energy efficiency names, were broadly challenged during the reporting period as growth and cyclical exposure was punished.

Portfolio Managers’ Comments

 

How did the Pax Global Sustainable Infrastructure (the Fund) perform for the period?

 

For the six-month period ended June 30, 2022, the Fund’s Institutional Class and Investor Class shares had total returns of -13.09% and -13.15%, respectively, compared to -0.94% for the Fund’s primary benchmark, the S&P Global Infrastructure Index and –5.42% for the Lipper Global Infrastructure Index. Most of this underperformance came during the first quarter when traditional oil & gas companies dramatically outperformed the rest of the market. However, both the Fund and its primary benchmark significantly outperformed broad global equities as measured by the MSCI ACWI (Net) Index, which was down -20% for the same period, demonstrating, in our view, the diversification benefits provided by public equity infrastructure investments.

 

What is the investment objective of the Fund?

 

The Global Sustainable Infrastructure Fund’s investment objective is capital appreciation and income. The Fund uses a systematic process to construct a portfolio of companies that Impax believes are providing the infrastructure driving the transition to a more sustainable economy. The portfolio has significant weight in companies providing vital resources in a sustainable fashion, including those we classify as New Energy (renewable energy generation, more efficient energy use and distribution) as well as Water Infrastructure. The Fund also invests in Social and Economic Infrastructure that is essential to meeting basic needs (e.g., education, health care) and enhancing the collection, transmission and processing of information.

 

What contributed positively to performance?

 

The Fund’s higher quality profile, driven by its investment process, added to relative results, as higher quality companies outperformed during the first six months of 2022. Avoiding traditional transportation and utility names also contributed modestly to performance during this period, with benefits coming from avoiding names like Aena, Auckland Airport, Fraport AG and Flughafen Zurich.

 

 

24

 

 

 

June 30, 2022

 

 

In the second quarter, the Fund received strong relative results from its diversifying Communications & Data holdings, driven particularly by Telecomm holdings.

 

What detracted from performance?

 

Given the macro environment, the Fund’s focus on sustainable infrastructure lagged traditional infrastructure. Holdings within our sustainable universe: New Energy, Water, Sustainable Mass Transport and Renewable Utility companies trailed their traditional infrastructure counterparts, creating the Fund’s largest headwind. Not owning traditional energy names, particularly those within North America, such as Cheniere Energy, Williams Companies and Enbridge Inc, represented large individual contributors to the Fund’s underperformance relative to the benchmark.

 

New Energy broadly underperformed Traditional Energy companies, however Schneider Electric and Taiwan Semiconductor were among the largest detractors in this space. Similarly, Fund holdings in Water Utilities, such as Veolia, and Renewable Utilities, such as Meridian Energy, Ltd. trailed Traditional Utilities.

Portfolio Managers’ Comments

 

How did the Pax Global Opportunities Fund (the Fund) perform for the period?

 

For the six-month period ended June 30, 2022, the Investor Class and Institutional Class shares of the Fund, respectively, had total returns of -23.52 and -23.40%, compared to -20.18% for the MSCI ACWI (Net) Index and –29.66% for the Lipper Global Multi-Cap Growth Funds Index.

 

What factors contributed to the Fund’s performance?

 

Year-to-date, global stock markets have fallen as investors adjusted to the end of quantitative easing, persistent inflation, heighted geo-political tensions and a slower outlook for global growth. During this period, the Fund has underperformed versus the MSCI ACWI (Net) Index, as the steepening yield curve and the sharp upward move in oil and commodity prices led to a dramatic rotation out of quality and growth and into more value-oriented sectors such as Energy, a sector where the Fund has no exposure, due to its fossil fuel-free approach. Stock selection has been the largest detractor - names which performed well last year in Health Care, Materials, and Industrials have been de-rated. On the positive side, stock selection in Information Technology and Communication Services was positive. The sector allocation effect was slightly positive; the lack of exposure to Energy was offset by positives from the underweight to Consumer Discretionary and overweight to the Health Care sector. Currency effects were a headwind to performance. The Fund remains focused on holdings with strong margins and capital returns, and importantly, balance sheets that are better placed to navigate inflationary challenges, supply disruptions and slowing economic momentum.

Can you discuss any significant changes to the Fund’s positioning throughout the period?

 

The market volatility has provided opportunities to resize positions, as well as find attractive entry points for areas of the market the team has been monitoring. The Fund has maintained overweight positions in Health Care, Industrials and Materials and underweight positions in Consumer Discretionary, Energy, and Information Technology.

 

What portfolio holdings contributed positively to performance relative to the MSCI ACWI?

 

Stocks with less economic sensitivity, and those supported by good earnings performed better over this period. Vertex Pharmaceuticals (Biotechnology, US), a drug development company, produced strong financial results with an improving outlook for pipeline assets, thus allowing for upgrades to earnings estimates, and an improved competitive outlook for its key cystic fibrosis franchise. AIA (Life & Health Insurance, Hong Kong) has benefitted recently from easing concerns on the negative growth impact from Covid restrictions in China, as mobility in the region has started to recover. The company has delivered solid results relative to peers, with weakness in China offset by growth in Hong Kong and Macau. The company announced a well-received share buy-back earlier in the year, demonstrating the firm’s resilience and balance sheet strength, while management remains focused on key targets such as a mainland China expansion. KDDI Corp (Wireless Telecommunication Services, Japan) shares rose due to the relative defensiveness of the company’s domestic Japanese telecom operations amid global uncertainty and news of a share buy-back. The company produced positive full year earnings and guided for continued growth, supported by its data services platform which includes finance & energy payments services.

 

What portfolio holdings detracted from performance relative to the MSCI ACWI?

 

Market rotation away from Covid beneficiaries and supply chain issues were among the biggest headwinds to performance. Evotec (Life Sciences Tools & Services, Germany) suffered from the market rotation away from highly valued growth orientated stocks and news that milestone payments would be less than expected following the decision by partner Bayer AG to return the rights to one of Evotec’s development assets. In addition, the stock was impacted by negative sentiment towards drug discovery stocks in general. The portfolio managers remain comfortable and confident in the operational outlook of the company. Aptiv (Auto Parts & Equipment, US) experienced headwinds due to continuing supply chain

issues and negative sentiment given its exposure to car manufactures mainly in Europe, which may be impacted by the Ukraine conflict. The portfolio managers regard the company as a key beneficiary of electrification and automation of vehicles and recent results were ahead of expectations, with management reaffirming full year guidance. Keyence (Electronic Equipment & Industrials, Japan) has underperformed as investors continue to reduce exposure to high quality growth companies in the face of rising interest rates, the risk of slower economic growth, and lower capex spending. The company reported strong results in early February, demonstrating that superior supply chain disruption management enabled faster growth than factory automation peers during the period.

Portfolio Managers’ Comments

 

How did the Pax Global Environmental Markets Fund (the Fund) perform for the period?

 

For the six-month period ended June 30, 2022, the Investor Class, Class A, and Institutional Class shares of the Fund, respectively, had total returns of -29.11, -29.09%, and -29.01% compared to -20.18% for the MSCI ACWI (Net) Index and -24.80% for the FTSE Environmental Opportunities Index Series (“FTSE EOAS”).

 

What factors contributed to the Fund’s performance?

 

Returns for the Fund declined over the period, as concerns over inflation, rising interest rates and slowing economic growth affected parts of the equity market to which the portfolio is particularly exposed. The Fund’s strategy focuses on companies providing solutions to environmental and sustainability challenges, and these companies often operate in parts of the economy with more cyclical sensitivity, such as Digital Infrastructure and Energy Management & Efficiency. In addition, the market rotation away from companies with quality and growth characteristics led to selling of some holdings that had performed very well in previous periods.

 

Can you discuss any significant changes to the Fund’s positioning throughout the period?

 

The team took advantage of the volatility in the markets to exit some positions with lower conviction or stronger performance and buy shares of what we believe are high quality companies at much more attractive valuations. The portfolio marginally reduced its underweight in Consumer Discretionary and moved overweight Information Technology. Industrials, Materials and Utilities remain the active sector exposures, while Financials, Consumer Discretionary, and Consumer Staples remain the largest underweights vs the MSCI ACWI (Net) Index.

June 30, 2022

Pax Global Environmental Markets Fund, continued

 

In thematic terms, the portfolio added to Resource Efficiency and Waste Management and Digital Infrastructure, reducing in Sustainable Food, and Water Infrastructure & Technologies. Regional exposure remained consistent, relative to the MSCI ACWI (Net) Index as the portfolio is overweight Europe, and underweight Asia and North America. The portfolio continues to maintain balanced exposure to cyclical and defensive oriented business models, and currently has a slight tilt toward those with more defensive characteristics.

 

What portfolio holdings contributed positively to performance relative to the MSCI ACWI?

 

Companies that performed better over the period were better able to manage inflationary pressures or operate in parts of the market that typically behave more defensively during market drawdowns. Republic Services (General Waste Management, US) shares rose due to the durable nature of the waste management industry. The company’s ability to manage inflation and pass higher costs onto customers made this an attractive stock in a volatile market. Westrock (Food Safety & Packaging, US) serves as another example of resilient pricing power, with resulting margin improvement. In addition, investors have responded positively to actions by Westrock’s new management team such as closing lower-returning assets. Pennon (Water Utilities, United Kingdom) reported a solid business update focused on the company’s ability to drive returns by managing financing and spending costs. The water utility also announced additional investment for improving coastal and river water quality.

 

What portfolio holdings detracted from performance relative to the MSCI ACWI?

 

The strategy’s exposure to Energy Management & Efficiency detracted, as some companies were de-rated on concerns of lower economic growth. Schneider Electric (Smart & Efficient Grids, Germany) saw its shares de-rated as investors focused on the company’s exposure to Europe and related potential geo-political risks, and its exposure to China, where Covid related restrictions have impacted many companies in the industrial space. The portfolio managers believe Schneider remains well positioned to benefit from increased focus on energy efficiency solutions. Names in Digital Infrastructure were similarly hurt by concerns over the outlook for growth. Ansys (Efficient IT, US), which provides computer-aided design and engineering software solutions, was impacted by deteriorating sentiment despite good earnings. Investors were concerned about a potential slowdown driven by supply chain constraints impacting manufacturing generally, coupled with specific concerns about growth in Europe due to geo-political risks related to the conflict in Ukraine. Geopolitical risks have also affected other

stocks, particularly those exposed more heavily to Europe. GEA (Technology & Logistics, Germany) is a farm technology company supplying equipment into the food processing industry. GEA’s products enable energy efficiency, food waste reduction and production optimization. Despite solid results, the stock sold off with German-listed Industrials peers on geopolitical concerns related to the Russian-Ukraine conflict.

Portfolio Managers’ Comments

 

How did the Pax Ellevate Global Women’s Leadership Fund (the Fund) perform for the period?

 

For the six-month period ended June 30, 2022, the Investor Class and Institutional Class shares of the Fund had total returns of -21.97% and -21.89%, respectively, compared to -22.16% for the Impax Global Women’s Leadership Index (Women’s Index), -20.51% for the MSCI World (Net) Index (World Index) and -20.24% for the Lipper Global Multi-Cap Core Funds Index.

 

Year-to-date, global stock markets have fallen as investors adjusted to the end of quantitative easing, persistent inflation, heightened geo-political tensions and a slower outlook for global growth. During this period, the Fund underperformed versus the World Index as the steepening yield curve and the sharp upward move in oil and commodity prices led to a dramatic rotation out of quality and growth sectors and into more value-oriented sectors such as Energy, a sector where the Fund has no exposure, due to its fossil fuel-free approach.

 

What is the investment objective of the Fund?

 

The Fund seeks investment returns that closely correspond to, or exceed the price and yield performance, before fees and expenses, of the Women’s Index. The Fund pursues a systematic strategy, investing in the companies comprising the Women’s Index, the first index of the highest-rated companies in the world for gender-diverse leadership, as rated by the Impax Gender Analytics Team.1

 

The Fund tilts the portfolio toward Women’s Index companies with the most favorable gender leadership characteristics seeking to capture the increased investment return we believe gender-diverse leadership will deliver over time. The Fund exceeds global markets on key gender characteristics including greater representation of women on boards and in senior management. As of June 30, 2022 women hold 42% of the board seats and 35% of senior management positions in companies in the Fund, compared to 32% and 24%, respectively, within the World Index. In addition, as of June 30, 2022, 97% percent of companies in the Fund have three or more women on the board and 99% have two or more women on the board, compared with 66% and 84%, respectively, for companies in the World Index. 42% of companies in the Fund have

June 30, 2022

 

 

a woman CEO or CFO, compared with 19% of companies in the World Index. In addition, 53% of companies in the Fund have disclosed pay equity analysis, compared to 31% of companies in the World Index.

 

What contributed positively and negatively to performance?

 

During the first six months of the year, the Fund’s lower volatility and higher quality profile, driven by its gender leadership focus, added meaningfully over the reporting period as volatility factors underperformed, and quality factors outperformed. In addition, companies with higher Impax Gender Scores2 outperformed the broader market producing a positive allocation effect during the period, this was offset by security selection within the higher gender score companies.

 

From a sector perspective, Health Care produced strong relative performance during the reporting period, driven by strong stock specific results and its overweight allocation relative to the benchmark. Within Pharmaceuticals, Johnson & Johnson, Merck, Eli Lilly, AstraZeneca and Bristol-Myer-Squibb were standout performers. In addition, within Communication Services, Omnicom and Verizon outperformed during the first six months of the year, and not owning Meta and Alphabet, companies that underperformed and fall outside of the Fund’s investment universe, helped to contribute to relative performance.

 

Conversely, the largest relative detractor during the reporting period was the Fund’s avoidance of traditional Energy, which outperformed all other sectors during the reporting period. The Materials sector also detracted during the first half of the year, driven by the underperformance of DSM and Celanese. Additionally, the Fund’s underweight to Metals & Mining companies was a drag on performance as those companies outperformed during the reporting period.

Impax Gender Analytics, December 31, 2021. The Fund’s investable universe, the Women’s Index, had its annual reconstitution on 12/15/2021.

The Impax Gender Score broadly seeks to measure a company’s performance on issues related to gender diversity and equality. The Impax Gender Analytics team conducts in-house gender research and assigns the Impax Gender Score, a rating for each company in the MSCI World Index universe, that is based on the following gender leadership criteria: representation of women on boards of directors and in executive management, the hiring, promotion and retention of women, gender pay equity, a company’s ability to proactively issue and/or meet gender goals, or be a signatory to the Women’s Empowerment Principles (a joint initiative of the UN Global Compact and UN Women), as well as a company’s transparency about gender diversity data. These criteria are given different weights, with representation by women on boards and in management receiving the highest weightings. The final gender ranking is calculated by blending the scores over time to capture consistency of gender leadership. Companies are scored from 1-100, and a lower score indicates a higher ranking, with 1 being the highest score and 100 being the lowest score. The Pax Ellevate Global Women’s Leadership Fund is overweighted toward companies with the most favorable gender leadership characteristics. As such, the Impax Gender Score will drive the under and overweight sectoral and regional positions compared to the MSCI World Index. Sectors and regions comprised of constituents with the highest-ranking companies (or

ones with the lowest gender scores) with the strongest gender profiles will be overweight and conversely, the lowest-ranking companies (or ones with the highest gender scores) with the weakest gender profiles, will be underweight relative to the MSCI World Index.

The International Sustainable Economy Fund’s investment objective is to seek long-term growth of capital. The Fund uses a systematic strategy to invest in non-US developed market companies that we believe are positioned to benefit from the transition to a more sustainable economy.

 

What contributed positively/negatively to performance?

 

The strategy integrates the Lens, a proprietary tool that helps the investment managers to systematically overweight the portfolio toward sub-industries that we identify as high opportunity in the context of the transition to a more sustainable economy while simultaneously removing exposure to sub-industries classified as low opportunity and high risk. The Fund is also constructed to provide higher exposure to companies with favorable environmental, social and governance (ESG) ratings relative to their sector and industry peers, as determined by MSCI1. Lastly, the strategy is fossil fuel-free, utilizing SmartCarbonTM a proprietary tool that replaces Energy sector holdings with energy efficiency stocks. The Fund’s optimization process applies appropriate constraints at the sector, region, country and security levels to create a diversified portfolio of approximately 200-300 stocks.

Sustainability Lens

 

We believe the Lens is a central tool to guide the Fund to identify sub-industries that will benefit from the transition to a more sustainable economy over the long-term. This year, exposure to the Lens has been a headwind, as High-Opportunity/Low-Risk areas of the market underperformed High-Risk/Low-Opportunity areas of the market by roughly 17%. High-Risk industries related to oil and gas delivered strong performance over most of the reporting period as inflation and the conflict in Ukraine were headline issues, but their outperformance tempered as market participants shifted their attention to the risk of an economic slowdown. The negative performance of the Lens was offset by positive stock selection driven by the Impax Systematic ESG Rating.

 

Pharmaceuticals, a High Opportunity industry as identified by the Lens, saw positive returns in the last few months of the period led by what we identify as leaders Bristol-Myers Squibb and Eli Lilly. In addition, the Fund benefited from the Lens driven underweights to areas of the market that posted weaker returns such as Internet & Direct Retail Marketing, Automobile Manufacturing and Movies & Entertainment.

 

ESG Rating

 

We believe that stocks with low ESG ratings, as determined by the MSCI ESG Rating, tend to have higher volatility ratings and lower risk-adjusted returns over time. As a result, we tilt exposure towards securities with high ESG ratings which we believe are better positioned to benefit from the transition to a more sustainable economy than the broad index.

 

The Fund’s allocation towards securities with higher ESG ratings has been positive this year as securities with MSCI ESG scores in the top tier of the universe (where the portfolio allocated most of its capital) have outperformed what we identify as ESG laggards. There were a few standout performers with high ESG ratings, including Vodaphone Group PLC, Kajima Corporation, and AstraZeneca. In addition, avoiding and underweighting what we identify as ESG laggards, like Shin Etsu Chemical Co Ltd, Shiseido Company Limited, and Hong Kong & China Gas company also added to the Fund’s performance.

 

SmartCarbonTM Attribution

 

Not owning traditional Energy companies has been a consistent headwind to the Fund in 2022, although this detractor was less prevalent in the second quarter. The Fund’s SmartCarbonTM framework, which replaces the traditional energy exposure with companies that are focused on reducing energy consumption through energy

efficient solutions, also detracted from performance. Exposure in the Information Technology and Industrials sectors, which play a prevalent role in energy efficiency, were broadly challenged during this period as growth and cyclical exposure was punished.

The Fund’s inception date is January 27, 2011. Prior to March 31, 2021, Pax International Sustainable Economy Fund was known as Pax MSCI EAFE ESG Leaders Index Fund (the “EAFE ESG Index Fund”) and the strategy of the Fund differed from its current strategy. Accordingly, performance of the Fund for periods prior to March 31, 2021 may not be representative of the performance the Fund would have achieved had the Fund been following its current strategy. Effective March 31, 2014, the EAFE ESG Index Fund acquired the assets of Pax World International Fund, a series of Pax World Funds Series Trust I, and of Pax MSCI EAFE ESG Index ETF, a series of Pax World Funds Trust II, pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of Reorganization dated December 13, 2013 (the “Reorganizations”). Because the EAFE ESG Index Fund had no investment operations prior to the closing of the Reorganizations, and based on the similarity of the EAFE ESG Index Fund to Pax MSCI EAFE ESG Index ETF, Pax MSCI EAFE ESG Index ETF (the “Predecessor Fund”) is treated as the survivor of the Reorganizations for accounting and performance reporting purposes. Accordingly, all performance and other information shown for the International Sustainable Economy Fund for periods prior to March 31, 2014 is that of the Predecessor Fund. Total return figures include reinvested dividends and capital gains distributions, and changes in principal value, and do not reflect the taxes that a shareholder might pay on Fund distributions or on the redemption of Fund shares.

Portfolio Manager’s Comments

 

How did the Pax Core Bond Fund (the Fund) perform for the period?

 

For the six-month period ended June 30, 2022, the Investor Class and Institutional Class shares of the Fund had total returns of -10.36% and -10.24%, respectively, compared to -10.35% for the Bloomberg US Aggregate Bond Index and -10.91% for the Lipper Core Bond Funds Index.

 

What factors contributed to the Fund’s performance?

 

The Fund benefited from both security selection and allocation across multiple asset classes. Two of the biggest contributors were selection within Government-Related and the allocation to Asset-Backed-Securities (ABS).

 

The majority of the Fund’s Government-Related holdings are short-dated highly rated Supranational Bonds (“Supranationals”). These securities were much less impacted by rising rates and widening spreads.

 

ABS holdings also benefited from being shorter duration and were one of the few sectors that had a positive excess return during the period. Similar to Supranationals, ABS were less impacted by rising rates.

 

Lastly, an allocation to Cash (average 2.5% position during the period) was a positive contributor with fixed income markets ending the period in negative territory.

 

Can you discuss any significant changes to the Fund’s positioning throughout the period?

 

Since the beginning of the year the Portfolio Manager has trimmed back exposure to Corporate securities, especially riskier credits, due to expectations of rising rates and slowing earnings. While the Fund is still overweight versus the benchmark, the overweight is lower and the credit rating is higher than in the past.

 

The Portfolio Manager has added to Agency Mortgage-Backed Securities (MBS). For the last year the Fund has been underweight the sector due to the Portfolio Manager’s view that quantitative tightening would have a negative impact on the sector. The Portfolio Manager now believes that much of the negative impact has been priced into the market, and therefore have been slowing adding to this sector.

 

 

46

 

 

 

June 30, 2022

 

 

The Portfolio Manager believes that this positioning should provide some stability while markets are volatile.

 

What portfolio holdings contributed positively to performance?

 

The Fund’s top contributors were short-dated Supranational Issuers. Holdings such as European Investment Bank (EIB) 3.25%, 2024, International Bank for Reconstruction & Development (IBRD) 1.625%, 2025 and Inter-American Development Bank (IADB) 0.25%, 2023 contributed strongly to performance.

 

What portfolio holdings detracted from performance?

 

Long-dated Investment Grade issuers and High Yield issuers were among the largest detractors. Holdings such as Starbucks 4.45%, 2049, Ford Motor Company 3.25%, 2032 and Altice Holdings 10.5%, 2027 negatively impacted performance.

Credit quality ratings by Standard & Poor’s assist investors by evaluating the credit worthiness of many bond issues. AAA: An obligation rated ‘AAA’ has the highest rating assigned by S&P Global Ratings. The obligor’s capacity to meet its financial commitment on the obligation is extremely strong. AA: An obligation rated ‘AA’ differs from the highest-rated obligations only to a small degree. The obligor’s capacity to meet its financial commitment on the obligation is very strong. A: An obligation rated ‘A’ is somewhat more susceptible to the adverse effects of changes in circumstances and economic conditions than obligations in higher-rated categories. However, the obligor’s capacity to meet its financial commitment on the obligation is still strong. BBB: An obligation rated ‘BBB’ exhibits adequate protection parameters. However, adverse economic conditions or changing circumstances are more likely to lead to a weakened capacity of the obligor to meet its financial commitment on the obligation. BB: An obligation rated ‘BB’ is less vulnerable to nonpayment than other speculative issues. However, it faces major ongoing uncertainties or exposure to adverse business, financial, or economic conditions which could lead to the obligor’s inadequate capacity to meet its financial commitment on the obligation. Not Rated: This indicates that no rating has been requested, or that there is insufficient information on which to base a rating, or that Standard & Poor’s does not rate a particular obligation as a matter of policy.

Portfolio Managers’ Comments

 

How did the Pax High Yield Bond Fund (the Fund) perform for the period?

 

For the six-month period ended June 30, 2022, the Investor Class, Class A, and Institutional Class shares of the Fund had total returns of -15.14%, -15.09%, and -15.09%, respectively, compared to -13.64% for the BofA Merrill Lynch US High Yield—Cash Pay—BB-B (Constrained 2%) Index (the Index) and -13.03% for the Lipper High Yield Bond Funds Index.

 

The Fund’s underperformance during this period was driven primarily by negative credit selection as well as the lack of Energy sector exposure. Our exposure to lower rated (CCC) credits was an additional headwind as this part of the market was notably weak given the uncertain economic outlook.

 

What factors contributed to the Fund’s performance?

 

The Fund’s performance was characterized by negative credit selection in a number of sectors, specifically Capital Goods, Services, Technology and Media. Sector allocation was neutral overall in the period but the lack of Energy exposure detracted by almost 40 basis points. Offsetting the negative credit selection mentioned above, there was positive credit selection in the Consumer Goods, Transportation and Telecommunications sectors. The average cash balance for the Fund was approximately 3% during the period.

 

Can you discuss any significant changes to the Fund’s positioning throughout the period?

 

During the first half of 2022, the Fund increased its exposure to the Capital Goods, Telecommunications and Automotive sectors where the Portfolio Managers have found relative value and have taken advantage of attractive new issues. The Fund decreased its exposure to the Basic Industry, Healthcare and Media sectors as many positions in these sectors tend to be more cyclical and the Portfolio Managers believe these merit a lower weighting given the current market backdrop.

June 30, 2022

 

 

By credit rating, the Fund’s exposure to BB and B rated bonds during the 6-month period has been stable, both at approximately 40%. The Fund’s CCC rated exposure has also been consistent at approximately 9% as the Portfolio Managers continue to find attractive opportunities in this rating category.

 

The duration of the Fund, as measured by Factset, was 4.4 years on June 30, 2022, up from 3.9 years at December 30, 2021. The benchmark’s duration at the same dates was 4.5 years and 4.1 years, respectively.

 

What portfolio holdings contributed positively to performance?

 

USG Corp., a building materials manufacturer, performed very well. The company was purchased a few years ago by a large investment grade company and the bonds were finally called after a long period of uncertainty.

 

Meritor, a heavy-duty truck axle supplier, announced an agreement to be acquired by Cummins Inc (A+ rated) resulting in strong outperformance for the BB- rated Meritor bonds.

 

Mileage Plus Holdings, a securitization of United Airlines frequent flyer loyalty points, outperformed meaningfully given its high collateral value and defensive characteristics. This security also has a floating rate coupon which has helped offset rising interest rates.

 

What portfolio holdings detracted from performance?

 

Diebold, an ATM machine manufacturer, was a significant drag as the company is facing operational headwinds and has a near term maturity which is putting additional pressure on the company.

 

Endo International, a pharmaceutical company, also underperformed as they are facing new competition for several of their drugs.

 

Ardagh, a global packaging company, performed poorly in the period due to concerns about a stretched balance sheet combined with high exposure to Europe. As a large core holding, the Portfolio Managers have confidence in the company’s ability to manage the debt load and the management team’s operational experience in difficult environments.

The Investor Class and Institutional Class shares of the Fund had total returns of -16.36% and -16.28%, respectively, compared to -19.96% for the S&P 500 Index and -16.11% for the 60% S&P 500 Index / 40% Bloomberg US Aggregate Bond Index blend (the Blended Index) and -14.43% for the Morningstar Allocation--50% to 70% Equity category average.

 

Relative to peers in the Morningstar Allocation--50% to 70% Equity category, the Fund’s institutional share class ranked in the top 66th percentile for the six-month period, and ranked in the top 15th, 19th, and 26th percentile for the 3, 5- and 10-year periods, respectively, ended June 30, 2022.

 

What factors contributed to the Fund’s performance?

 

Equity and bond markets both sold off significantly over the reporting period creating a challenging environment for investors diversified across asset classes. US and International equities were comparably negative, with the S&P 500 and MSCI EAFE indices down 19.96% and 19.57%, respectively, as concerns over slower economic growth, inflation, Fed interest rate hikes and Russia’s invasion of Ukraine all contributed to pressure global equities during the period. While bonds outperformed equities, the Bloomberg US Aggregate Bond Index still declined by 10.35%.

 

Across equity markets, the Energy sector was the dominant positive contributor to returns, as the sector benefited from rising oil prices that were exacerbated by the Russian invasion of Ukraine. While we believe the avoidance of traditional energy stocks focused on fossil fuels better position our funds over the long run as we transition to a lower carbon economy, the surge in oil prices was a significant headwind to all underlying equity funds held in the Fund, as all Pax World Funds adhere to a fossil fuel-free approach.

Pax Sustainable Allocation Fund, continued

 

Asset allocation had an overall neutral impact on performance relative to the Blended Index. The Fund’s underweight to bonds detracted, as bonds outperformed equities during the reporting period. The Fund’s cash allocation was a positive contributor to performance in this period where both equity and bond markets were significantly negative. The Fund was positioned near its neutral equity position, which resulted in a negligible negative contribution to performance.

 

Can you discuss any significant changes to the Fund’s positioning throughout the period?

 

After the rise in interest rates in the first quarter and the bounce in equities in March, we lowered the equity allocation in early April and increased our allocation to fixed income in both April and May. At quarter end, the Fund was just below its 60% neutral equity target, with a modest underweight to fixed income and a small allocation to cash.

 

What portfolio holdings contributed positively and negatively to performance?

 

While underperforming its infrastructure benchmark, the Pax Global Sustainable Infrastructure Fund’s defensive characteristics relative to the broad market helped mitigate some of the losses within the Sustainable Allocation Fund’s equity allocation, providing a small boost to performance relative to the Fund’s benchmark.

 

Relative to the Fund’s benchmark, the Pax Large Cap Fund, which represents the core component of the US Equity allocation, delivered a small positive addition to Fund performance as it marginally outperformed the S&P 500 Index, driven by positive stock selection that offset slightly negative sector allocation, which was driven largely by the Fund’s zero weight in the Energy sector.

 

The Pax Global Environmental Markets Fund detracted from performance, as its focus on companies that provide solutions to environmental and sustainability challenges often operate in parts of the economy with more cyclical sensitivity, and over the reporting period underperformed in the overall negative market environment.

 

The Pax High Yield Bond Fund detracted from performance as high yield bonds underperformed investment grade bonds and the Pax High Yield Bond Fund lagged its benchmark largely due to no Energy exposure.

Shareholder Expense Examples (Unaudited)

 

Examples As a shareholder of the Funds, you incur ongoing costs, including management fees, distribution and/or service (12b-1) fees, and other Fund expenses The examples on the next page are intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in each of the Funds and compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds For more information, see the relevant Fund’s prospectus or talk to your financial adviser

 

The examples are based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period beginning on January 1, 2022 and ending on June 30, 2022.

 

Please note that Individual Retirement Account (IRA), Coverdell Education Savings, Roth IRA, SEP-IRA, SIMPLE IRA, and 403(b)(7) accounts are charged an annual custodial fee of fifteen dollars If you are invested in one of these account types, you should add an additional $750 to the estimated expenses paid during the period

 

Actual Expenses For each Fund, the first table on the next page provides information about actual account values and actual expenses You may use the information in this table, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period For the Fund, simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 86), then multiply the result by the number under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period

 

Hypothetical Examples for Comparison Purposes For each Fund, the second table on the following pages provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on each Fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not each Fund’s actual return The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the 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 Funds and other funds To do so, compare these 5% hypothetical examples with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds

 

Please note that the expenses shown in the tables are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs Therefore, the second 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, our costs would have been higher

To manage cash flows, minimize trading costs and equitize cash balances in between trading blocks of securities, the Global Women’s Index Fund utilizes one or more exchange-traded funds (ETFs), the combination of which is intended to track the Fund’s broad-based benchmark. These investments are frequent and short-term, however, the Fund is required to include such ETF investment activity in the calculation of its portfolio turnover. Had such transactions been excluded, the portfolio turnover would have been 15% for the period ended June 30, 2022, 26% for the year ended December 31, 2021, 37% for the year ended December 31, 2020, 25% for the year ended December 31, 2019, 47% for the year ended December 31, 2018, and 25% for the year ended December 31, 2017.

To manage cash flows, minimize trading costs and equitize cash balances in between trading blocks of securities, the ESG Leaders Index Fund utilizes one or more exchange-traded funds (ETFs) which have an investment objective that tracks the Fund’s broad-based benchmark. These investments are frequent and short-term, however, the Fund is required to include such ETF investment activity in the calculation of its portfolio turnover. Had such transactions been excluded, the portfolio turnover would have been 22% for the period ended June 30, 2022, 41% for the year ended December 31, 2021, 27% for the year ended December 31, 2020, 19% for the year ended December 31, 2019, 18% for the year ended December 31, 2018, and 16% for the year ended December 31, 2017.

The expense ratio of the Sustainable Allocation Fund does not include indirect expenses of the underlying funds the Fund invests in. Indirect expenses of the underlying funds were 0.59% for the period ended June 30, 2022, 0.59% for the year ended December 31, 2021, 0.57% for the year ended December 31, 2020, 0.62% for the year ended December 31, 2019, 0.61% for the year ended December 31, 2018, and 0.61% for the year ended December 31, 2017.

In 2018, the Adviser reimbursed the Fund for expense overpayments related to transfer agent fees in the amount of $223,088. Before the reimbursement by the adviser, the difference in total returns for Investor Class and Institutional Class would have remained the same at (4.08)% and (3.85)%, respectively. The Net Investment Income for Investor Class and Institutional Class would have been 1.42% and 1.62%, respectively.

Pax World Funds Series Trust I and Pax World Fund Series Trust III

 

NOTE A—Organization and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

 

 

Organization Pax World Funds Series Trust I (“Trust I”), which is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), is an open-end management investment company organized under the laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts on May 25, 2006. As of June 30, 2022, Trust I offered ten investment funds: Pax Large Cap Fund (the “Large Cap Fund”), Pax Small Cap Fund (the “Small Cap Fund”), Pax US Sustainable Economy Fund (the “US Sustainable Economy Fund”, Pax Global Sustainable Infrastructure Fund (the “Global Sustainable Infrastructure Fund”, Pax Global Opportunities Fund (the “Global Opportunities Fund”), Pax Global Environmental Markets Fund (the “Global Environmental Markets Fund”), Pax International Sustainable Economy Fund (the “International Sustainable Economy Fund”, Pax Core Bond Fund (the “Core Bond Fund”), Pax High Yield Bond Fund (the “High Yield Bond Fund”), and Pax Sustainable Allocation Fund (the “Sustainable Allocation Fund”).

 

Pax World Funds Series Trust III (“Trust III”) is an open-end management investment company that was organized under the laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts on December 4, 2013 and registered under the 1940 Act. Pax Ellevate Global Women’s Leadership Fund (the “Global Women’s Leadership Fund”) is a diversified series of Trust III.

 

These financial statements relate to all funds (each a “Fund”, collectively, the “Funds”) offered under both Trust I and Trust III (each a “Trust”, collectively, the “Trusts”).

 

The Large Cap Fund, Global Sustainable Infrastructure Fund, Global Opportunities Fund, Global Women’s Leadership Fund, International Sustainable Economy Fund, Core Bond Fund and Sustainable Allocation Fund each offer two classes of shares—Investor Class shares and Institutional Class shares. The Small Cap Fund, US Sustainable Economy Fund, Global Environmental Markets Fund and High Yield Bond Fund each offer three classes of shares—Investor Class shares, Class A shares and Institutional Class shares. Although all share classes generally have identical voting, dividend and liquidation rights, each class votes separately when required by law. Different share classes pay different distribution amounts to the extent the expenses of such classes differ, and distributions in liquidation will be proportional to the net asset value of each share class. Each share class has its own expense structure and sales charges, as applicable.

The Funds seek to avoid investing in issuers that their investment adviser has determined are involved in the manufacture or sale of weapons or manufacture of tobacco products or engage in business practices that their investment adviser determines to be sub-standard from an Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) or sustainability perspective in relation to their industry, sector, asset class or universe peers.

 

The Large Cap Fund’s investment objective is to seek long-term growth of capital. The Fund seeks to achieve this objective by investing, under normal market conditions, at least 80% of its assets in equity securities (such as common stocks, securities convertible into common or preferred stocks and warrants) of companies that, when purchased, have capitalizations within the range of the Standard & Poor’s 500 Index as measured by market capitalization.

 

The Small Cap Fund’s investment objective is to seek long-term growth of capital. The Fund seeks to achieve this objective by investing, under normal market conditions, at least 80% of its assets in equity securities (such as common stocks, securities convertible into common or preferred stocks and warrants) of companies that, when purchased, have capitalizations within the range of the Russell 2000 Index as measured by market capitalization.

 

The US Sustainable Economy Fund’s investment objective is to seek long-term growth of capital. The Fund seeks to achieve this objective by investing, under normal market conditions, at least 80% of its assets in large-capitalization U.S. equity securities.

 

The Global Sustainable Infrastructure Fund’s investment objective is capital appreciation and income. The Fund seeks to achieve its investment objective by investing, under normal market conditions, at least 80% of its assets in equity securities of companies that the Adviser determines derive significant revenues (i.e., at least 20% of revenues) from owning, operating, developing or distributing sustainable infrastructure-related goods, services or assets.

 

The Global Opportunities Fund’s investment objective is to seek long term growth of capital by investing in companies benefiting from the transition to a more sustainable global economy. The Fund seeks to achieve this objective by investing, under normal market conditions, at least 80% of its net assets in companies that its Adviser or Sub-Adviser believe will benefit from the transition to a more sustainable global economy - the shift away from a depletive economy to one that preserves ecological and societal balance for the benefit of future generations. The Fund seeks to invest in companies with durable business models that are well-positioned to benefit from or avoid the risks associated with this transition. Under

normal market conditions, the Global Opportunities Fund will invest primarily in equity securities (such as common stocks, preferred stocks and securities convertible into common or preferred stocks) of companies located around the world, including at least 40% of its net assets in securities of companies organized or located outside the United States or doing a substantial amount of business outside the United States, including those located in emerging markets.

 

The Global Environmental Markets Fund’s investment objective is to seek long term growth of capital by investing in innovative companies around the world whose businesses and technologies focus on environmental markets, including alternative energy and energy management & efficiency; transportation solutions; water infrastructure & technologies; environmental services & resources; resource efficiency & waste management; digital infrastructure; and sustainable food & agriculture. The Fund seeks to achieve this objective by investing, under normal market conditions, at least 80% of its net assets in the foregoing companies and will invest primarily in equity securities (such as common stocks, preferred stocks and securities convertible into common and preferred stocks) of companies located around the world, including at least 40% of its net assets in securities of non-U.S. issuers, including those located in emerging markets.

 

The Global Women’s Leadership Fund’s investment objective is to seek investment returns that closely correspond to or exceed the price and yield performance, before fees and expenses, of the Impax Global Women’s Leadership Index (the “Women’s Index”), while maintaining risk characteristics that the Adviser believes are generally similar to those of the Women’s Index. The Fund seeks to achieve this objective by investing, under normal market conditions, more than 80% of its total assets in the component securities of the Women’s Index and in American depositary receipts, global depositary receipts and European depositary receipts representing the component securities of the Women’s Index, including at least 40% of its net assets (unless market conditions are not deemed favorable, in which case the Global Women’s Leadership Fund would normally invest at least 30% of its assets) in securities of companies organized or located outside the U.S. or doing a substantial amount of business outside the U.S.

 

The International Sustainable Economy Fund’s investment objective is to seek long-term growth of capital. The Fund seeks to achieve this objective by investing, under normal circumstances, more than 80% of its assets in large-capitalization equity securities in non-U.S. developed markets, including American Depositary Receipts, Global Depositary Receipts and Euro Depositary Receipts. The Fund may take significant positions in one or more non-U.S. developed markets, including the Asia and Pacific region and the European Union.

The Core Bond Fund’s investment objective is to seek income and conservation of principal. The Fund seeks to achieve this objective by investing, under normal market conditions, at least 80% of its assets in bonds, which include debt obligations such as mortgage-related securities, securities issued by the United States government or its agencies and instrumentalities, municipal bonds, corporate bonds and high-impact bonds (which provide financing to support solutions to global sustainability challenges) across the spectrum of issuers, each of which is, at the time of purchase, rated at least investment grade (rated BBB- or higher by Standard & Poor’s Ratings Group or Baa3 or higher by Moody’s Investors Service) or unrated and determined by the Adviser to be of comparable quality.

 

The High Yield Bond Fund’s primary investment objective is to seek high current income. As a secondary investment objective, the High Yield Bond Fund seeks capital appreciation. The Fund seeks to achieve this objective by investing, under normal market conditions, at least 80% of its assets in high-yield, fixed income securities (such as bonds, notes or debentures) that are rated below BBB- by Standard & Poor’s Ratings Group or below Baa3 by Moody’s Investors Service, similarly rated by another major rating service, or unrated and determined by the High Yield Bond Fund’s investment adviser to be of comparable quality. These fixed income securities are commonly referred to as “junk bonds.”

 

The Sustainable Allocation Fund’s primary investment objective is to seek income and conservation of principal. As a secondary investment objective, the Fund seeks long-term growth of capital. The Fund uses a team approach to allocate among multiple funds managed by the Adviser (“Underlying Funds”) in order to seek to achieve its investment objectives. The Adviser will allocate the Fund’s assets among Underlying Funds in its sole discretion. The Fund seeks to achieve its investment objectives, under normal market conditions, by investing (indirectly through the use of Underlying Funds) approximately 50%-75% of its assets in equity securities (such as common stocks, preferred stocks and securities convertible into common or preferred stocks) and 25%-50% of its assets in debt securities (including but not limited to debt securities convertible into equity securities).

 

Under the Trusts’ organizational documents, its officers and trustees are indemnified against certain liabilities arising out of the performance of their duties to the Trusts. Additionally, in the normal course of business, the Trusts enter into contracts with service providers that contain general indemnification clauses. The Trusts’ maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this could involve future claims that may be made against the Trusts that have not yet occurred. However, based on experience, the Trusts expect this risk of loss to be remote.

Accounting Estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and 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 Funds apply Investment Company accounting and reporting guidance.

 

Valuation of Investments For purposes of calculating the net asset value (“NAV”), determined ordinarily as of the close of regular trading (normally 4:00 p.m. Eastern time) (the “NYSE Close”) on the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) on each day that the NYSE is open for trading, the Funds normally use pricing data for domestic equity securities received shortly after the NYSE Close and do not normally take into account trading, clearances or settlements that take place after the NYSE Close. U.S. fixed income and non-U.S. securities are normally priced using data reflecting the earlier closing of the principal markets for those securities, subject to possible fair value adjustments. Information that becomes known to the Funds or their agents after NAV has been calculated on a particular day will not generally be used to retroactively adjust the price of a security or NAV determined earlier that day.

 

For the purpose of these financial statements, fair values for various types of securities and other instruments are determined on the basis of closing prices or last sales prices on an exchange or other market, or based on quotes or other market information obtained from quotation reporting systems, established market makers or pricing services. Short-term investments having a maturity of 60 days or less are generally valued at amortized cost, which approximates fair value.

 

Investments denominated in currencies other than the U.S. dollar are converted to U.S. dollars using exchange rates obtained from pricing services. As a result, the NAV of a Fund’s shares may be affected by changes in the value of currencies in relation to the U.S. dollar.

 

If market quotations are not readily available (including in cases when available market quotations are deemed to be unreliable), the Funds’ investments will be valued as determined in good faith pursuant to policies and procedures approved by the Boards of Trustees of the Trusts (the “Boards” or “Boards of Trustees”)(so called “fair value pricing”). Fair value pricing may require subjective determinations about the value of a security or other asset, and fair values used to determine a Fund’s NAV may differ from quoted or published prices, or from prices that are used by others, for the same investments. Also, the use of fair value pricing may not always result in adjustments to the prices of securities or other assets held

by a Fund. The Boards have designated the Adviser, through its Best Execution and Valuation Committee, to manage and implement the day-to-day valuation of the Funds’ portfolio investments, in accordance with policies and procedures approved by the Boards. In addition, pursuant to Rule 2a-5 under the 1940 Act, the Board has designated the Adviser, through its Best Execution and Valuation Committee, as the “valuation designee” to make fair value determinations for all of the Funds’ investments for which market quotations are not readily available, with such designation to be effective September 8, 2022.

 

The Funds may determine that market quotations are not readily available due to events relating to a single issuer (e.g., corporate actions or announcements) or events relating to multiple issuers (e.g., governmental actions or natural disasters). The Funds may determine the fair value of investments based on information provided by pricing services and other third-party vendors, which may recommend fair value prices or adjustments with reference to other securities, indices or assets. In considering whether fair value pricing is required and in determining fair values, the Funds may, among other things, consider significant events (which may be considered to include changes in the value of U.S. securities or securities indices) that occur after the close of the relevant market and the usual time of valuation. At June 30, 2022, three securities were fair valued in good faith pursuant to policies and procedures approved by the Boards of Trustees. The Core Bond Fund held one security fair valued at $298,550, representing 0.04% of the Fund’s net asset value and the High Yield Bond Fund held four securities fair valued at $1,010,838, representing 0.17% of the Fund’s net asset value.

 

For those Funds that invest in non-U.S. securities, investors should be aware that many securities markets and exchanges outside the U.S. close prior to the close of the NYSE, and the closing prices for securities in such markets or on such exchanges may not fully reflect events that occur after such close but before the close of the NYSE. As a result, the Funds’ fair value pricing procedures require the Funds to consider changes in the fair value of non-U.S. securities between the time of the closing of the local market’s exchange and the close of the NYSE. Generally, if there has been a movement in the U.S. market that exceeds a specified threshold, the Funds will assess whether the closing price on the local exchange is still appropriate. Although the threshold may be revised from time to time and the number of days on which fair value prices will be used will depend on market activity, it is possible that fair value prices will be used by the Funds to a significant extent. The value determined for an investment using the Funds’ fair value pricing procedures may differ from recent market prices for the investment.

Fair Value Measurements Fair value is defined as the price that the Fund would receive upon selling an investment in an orderly transaction between market participants. The three-tier hierarchy of inputs is summarized in the three broad Levels listed below.

 

 

Level 1 – unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical investments

 

 

Level 2 – other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.)

 

 

Level 3 – significant unobservable inputs (including the Funds’ own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments)

 

Observable inputs are inputs that reflect the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability developed based on market data obtained from sources independent of the reporting entity. Unobservable inputs are inputs that reflect the reporting entity’s own assumptions about the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability developed based on the best information available in the circumstances. The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities. The following is a general summary of valuation inputs and classifications for different categories of securities.

 

Equity Securities Equity securities, including common stocks, preferred stocks and exchange-traded funds, for which market quotations are readily available, valued at the last reported sale price or official closing price as reported by an independent pricing service, are generally categorized as Level 1 in the hierarchy. Non-U.S. equity securities may also be valued at official close, or may be valued based on the fair value pricing procedures noted above. When third-party fair value pricing of foreign securities methods are applied, they are generally categorized as Level 2. To the extent that inputs for equity securities are unobservable, values are categorized as Level 3 in the hierarchy.

 

Fixed Income Securities Fixed income securities, including Corporate Bonds (both investment-grade and high-yield), U.S. Treasury Obligations, Government Bonds, Mortgage-Backed and Asset-Backed Securities, Bank Loans and Municipal Bonds, are valued at evaluated prices received from independent pricing services, which are evaluated using various inputs and techniques which may include trade activity, broker-dealer quotes, yield curves, coupon rates, default rates, cash flows,

models and other inputs, and are generally categorized as Level 2 in the hierarchy. To the extent that inputs for fixed income securities are unobservable, values are categorized as Level 3 in the hierarchy.

 

Affiliated and Unaffiliated Investment Investments in mutual funds are valued at the Funds’ closing net asset value and are generally categorized as Level 1.

 

Short-term Investments Short-term securities, including repurchase agreements, with remaining maturities of 60 days or less, which are valued at amortized cost, are generally categorized as Level 2 in the hierarchy.

 

The following is a summary of the inputs used to value the Funds’ net assets as of June 30, 2022:

Significant unobservable inputs were used by two Funds for Level 3 fair value measurements. The High Yield Bond Fund holds two securities of the same issuer which are deemed to be valued at zero based on company financial statements,

and one security based on broker valuation levels. The Core Bond Fund holds a position in a Community Investment note which is valued based on a general obligation by the parent entity to limit investment exposure on the note.

 

Investment Transactions Investment transactions are recorded as of the date of purchase, sale or maturity. Net realized gains and losses from the sale or disposition of securities are determined on the identified cost basis, which is also used for federal income tax purposes. Corporate actions (including cash dividends) are recorded net of foreign tax withholdings.

 

Investment Income Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date. Interest income is recorded on the accrual basis and includes accretion of discount and amortization of premiums, if any. The value of additional securities received as dividend payments is recorded as income and as an increase to the cost basis of such securities. The Funds amortize purchase price premium and accrete discount on bonds, if any, over the remaining life of the bonds using the effective interest method of amortization; for callable bonds, the premium amortization period is to the earliest call date.

 

Distributions to Shareholders Distributions to shareholders are recorded by each of the Funds on the ex-dividend dates. The Funds (except Core Bond Fund and High Yield Bond Fund) expect to pay dividends of net investment income, if any, semiannually and to make distributions of capital gains, if any, at least annually.

 

The Core Bond Fund and High Yield Bond Fund expect to pay dividends of net investment income, if any, monthly and to make distributions of capital gains, if any, at least annually. A shareholder begins earning dividends on the Core Bond Fund and High Yield Bond Fund shares the day after the Funds receive his or her purchase payment. Income and capital gains distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

 

Class Accounting Expenses directly attributable to a class of shares, such as 12b-1 distribution fees, are charged to that class. Each Fund has adopted a 12b-1 plan, applicable to certain classes of each of the Funds. Expenses of the Funds that are directly identifiable to a specific Fund, such as transfer agent fees, custody fees and registration fees, are applied to that Fund. Expenses that are not readily identifiable to a specific Fund, such as printing expense, Trustees’ fees and legal fees, are allocated in such a manner as deemed equitable, taking into consideration the nature and type of expense and the relative net assets of the Funds. Investment income, realized and unrealized gains and losses are allocated based upon the relative daily net assets of each class of shares.

Federal Income Taxes Each of the Funds has elected to be treated and intends to qualify each year as a regulated investment company under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. If a Fund so qualifies and satisfies certain distribution requirements, such Fund will ordinarily not be subject to federal income tax on its net investment income (which includes short-term capital gains) and net capital gains that it distributes to shareholders. Each Fund expects to distribute all or substantially all of its income and gains to shareholders every year. Therefore, no federal income or excise tax provision is required. The Funds are treated as separate entities for federal income tax purposes.

 

Foreign Currency Transactions The accounting records of the Funds are maintained in U.S. dollars. In addition, purchases and sales of investment securities, dividend and interest income, and certain expenses are translated at the rates of exchange prevailing on the respective dates of such transactions. Net realized and unrealized foreign currency exchange gains or losses occurring during the holding period of investment securities are a component of realized gain (loss) on investment transactions and unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on investments, respectively.

 

Non-U.S. Securities Non-U.S. markets can be significantly more volatile than domestic markets, causing the prices of some Fund investments to fluctuate significantly, rapidly and unpredictably. Non-U.S. securities may be less liquid than domestic securities; consequently, a Fund may at times be unable to sell non-U.S. securities at desirable times or prices. Other risks related to non-U.S. securities include delays in the settlement of transactions; less publicly available information about issuers; different reporting, accounting and auditing standards; the effect of political, social, diplomatic or economic events; seizure, expropriation or nationalization of the issuer or its assets; fluctuation in foreign currency exchange rates and the possible imposition of currency exchange controls. If a Fund invests substantially in securities of non-U.S. issuers tied economically to a particular country or geographic region, it will be subject to the risks associated with such country or geographic region to a greater extent than a fund that is more diversified across countries or geographic regions.

 

Securities Lending The Funds may lend their securities pursuant to a securities lending agreement (Lending Agreement) with State Street Bank and Trust Company. Initial security loans made pursuant to the Lending Agreement are required to be secured by collateral not less than the percentage specified in the agreement, ranging from 102% to 105%, depending on the types of securities. Cash collateral received is invested in the State Street Navigator Securities Lending Government Money Market Portfolio, a registered Rule 2a-7 money market fund. Borrowers may also pledge non-cash collateral within the guidelines for acceptable forms of

 

 

146

 

 

 

June 30, 2022

 

 

non-cash collateral approved by the Boards of Trustees. At June 30, 2022, non-cash collateral consisted of U.S. Treasuries, short-term U.S. Government agency obligations and sovereign debt.

 

The Funds have the right under the Lending Agreement to recover the securities from the borrower on demand. The primary risk associated with securities lending is if the borrower defaults on its obligation to return the securities loaned because of insolvency or other reasons. The Funds could experience delays and costs in recovering securities loaned or in gaining access to the collateral. In the event the borrower fails to return loaned securities and the collateral received is insufficient to cover the value of the loaned securities and provided such collateral shortfall is not the result of investment losses, the lending agent has agreed to pay the amount of the shortfall to the Funds, or at the discretion of the lending agent, replace the loaned securities.

 

A portion of the income generated upon investment of the collateral is remitted to the borrower and the remainder is allocated between the Funds and the lending agent. The Funds record security lending income net of such allocation. The Funds continue to receive dividends on the securities loaned, which are accounted for in the same manner as other dividend and interest income.

 

As of June 30, 2022, the value of securities loaned, payable for collateral due to brokers and non-cash collateral pledged by brokers were as follows:

Netting Agreements During the ordinary course of business, the Funds may enter into transactions subject to enforceable netting agreements or other similar arrangements (“netting agreements”). Generally, the right to offset in netting agreements allows a Fund to offset any exposure to a specific counterparty with any collateral received or delivered to that counterparty based on the terms of the agreement. Generally, a Fund manages its cash collateral and securities collateral on a counterparty basis. As of June 30, 2022, there is no collateral held at the

The Funds are permitted to purchase and sell securities (“cross-trade”) from and to other Funds within the Trusts or other accounts managed by the Adviser pursuant to “Cross-Trading” Procedures adopted by the Trusts’ Boards of Trustees. These procedures have been designed to ensure that any cross-trade of securities by the respective Fund from or to another Fund or account that is or could be considered an affiliate of the Fund under certain limited circumstances by virtue of having a

common investment adviser complies with Rule 17a-7 of the 1940 Act. Further, as defined under these procedures, each cross-trade is effected at the current market price to save costs where allowed. Pursuant to these procedures, for the period ended June 30, 2022, none of the Funds engaged in cross-trade activities.

 

Restricted and Illiquid Securities The Funds may purchase certain restricted securities and limited amounts of illiquid securities. The Funds may invest in securities exempt from registration under Rule 144A of the Securities Act of 1933 (“the Act”) which are restricted from sale to the public and may only be sold to a qualified institutional buyer. The Funds do not have the right to demand that such securities be registered. The value of such securities is determined by valuations supplied by a pricing service or, if not available, in good faith by or at the direction of the Boards of Trustees. At June 30, 2022, the Core Bond Fund held $107,511,280 or 14.04% of net assets and the High Yield Bond Fund held $458,210,359 or 77.40% of net assets in securities exempt from registration under Rule 144A of the Act.

 

At June 30, 2022 the Core Bond Fund held $4,118,912 of illiquid securities representing 0.54% of net assets and High Yield Bond Fund held $1,259,093 of illiquid securities, representing 0.21% of net assets. The Fund will classify as “illiquid” all securities that the Fund reasonably expects cannot be sold or disposed of in current market conditions in seven calendar days or less without the sale or disposition significantly changing the market value of the investment. Illiquid investments may include restricted securities, repurchase agreements that mature in more than seven days or that have a notice or demand feature more than seven days, certain over-the-counter option contracts and participation interests in

loans. Because illiquid securities trade less frequently and in smaller volume than liquid securities, the Fund may experience difficulty in closing out positions at prevailing market prices.

NOTE D—Tax Information

 

 

The timing and characterization of certain income and capital gains distributions are determined annually in accordance with federal tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP. In addition to permanent differences previously noted, temporary differences may arise from recognition of certain items of income, expense, gain or loss in different periods for financial reporting and tax purposes. Such differences will reverse at some time in the future. As a result, net investment income (loss) and net realized gain (loss) on investment transactions for a reporting period may differ significantly from distributions during such period. For tax purposes, short-term capital gains are considered ordinary income.

The International Sustainable Economy Fund elected to defer $3,074,556 of capital losses recognized between November 1, 2021 and December 31, 2021 for the Fund’s fiscal year ending December 2021. These losses are treated for federal income tax purposes as if they had occurred on January 1, 2022.

 

As of June 30, 2022, for federal income tax purposes, the following Funds had capital loss carryforwards available to offset future gains, if any, to the extent provided by the Treasury regulations:

For financial reporting purposes, the capital accounts are adjusted to reflect the tax character of permanent book/tax differences. Reclassifications are primarily due to tax treatment of gain (loss) on foreign currency transactions and tax treatment related to REITs, PFICs, paydowns, bond amortization and tax equalization adjustments. Distributions received from REITs may be classified as dividends, capital gains and/or return of capital.

 

Uncertain Tax Positions Management has analyzed the Funds’ tax positions taken for all open tax years which remain subject to examination by the Funds’ major tax jurisdictions (years 2018 through 2021). The Funds recognize interest and penalties, if any, related to tax liabilities as income tax expense in the Statement

of Operations. Management has concluded that, as of and during the year ended December 31, 2021, no provision for federal income tax is necessary and, therefore, the Funds did not have a liability for any unrecognized tax expenses.

 

Note E – Other Matter

 

 

The impact of the COVID-19 pandemic has led, and in the future may lead, to increased short-term market volatility and may have adverse long-term effects on U.S. and world economies, markets generally, and a Fund’s ability to achieve its investment objective.

Portfolio Holdings (Unaudited)

 

 

Each Fund files its complete schedule of portfolio holdings with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) for the first and third quarters of each fiscal year (or as an exhibit to its reports Form N-PORT). Each Fund’s Forms N-PORT are available on the SEC’s web site at www.sec.gov.

 

Liquidity Risk Management Program (Unaudited)

 

 

The Funds have adopted a liquidity risk management program pursuant to Rule 22e-4 under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “Program”). The Funds’ Boards have designated a committee consisting of several advisory personnel as the administrator of the Program. The Program’s principal objectives are to support the Funds’ compliance with limits on investments in illiquid assets and to mitigate the risk that a Fund is unable to meet its redemption obligations in a timely manner. In this regard, the Program includes a number of elements that support the management or assessment of liquidity risk, including an assessment of factors that influence a Fund’s liquidity and the periodic classification and, as determined necessary, re-classification of a Fund’s investments into buckets that reflect their relative liquidity under current market conditions. The Funds’ Boards reviewed a written report from the administrator on March 9, 2022 addressing the Program’s operation, adequacy, and effectiveness (the “Report”). From January 1, 2021 through December 31, 2021, the period covered by the Report, the Program supported each Fund’s ability to honor redemption requests timely and the Adviser’s management of each Fund’s liquidity risk profile, including during any periods of market volatility and net redemptions. There can be no assurance that the Program will achieve its objectives under all circumstances in the future. Please refer to your Fund’s prospectus for more information regarding the Fund’s exposure to liquidity risk and other risks to which it may be subject.

Board Approval of Advisory and Sub-Advisory Agreements (Unaudited)

 

 

Review Process. The 1940 Act requires that the Trustees of the Trusts request and evaluate, and that the Adviser furnish, such information as may reasonably be necessary for the Trustees of the Trusts to evaluate the terms of the relevant Trust’s Management Contracts. Similarly, the 1940 Act requires that the Trustees request and evaluate, and that Impax Asset Management Ltd. (the “Subadviser”) furnish, such information as may reasonably be necessary for the Trustees to evaluate the terms of its subadvisory contract (the “Subadvisory Contract”) between the Adviser and the Subadviser. The Trustees who are not “interested persons” (as defined in Section 2(a)(19) of the 1940 Act) of the Trusts (the “Independent Trustees”) met in March, April, May and June of 2022 for the purpose of considering the Management Contracts and the Subadvisory Contract (the “contract review meetings”). In addition, the Trustees of each Trust consider matters bearing on the relevant Trust and its investment management and other arrangements at their regular meetings throughout the year, including reviews of investment results and performance data at each regular meeting and periodic presentations from the Adviser and the Subadviser.

 

During the course of the contract review meetings, the Trustees met and discussed the Management Contracts and the Subadvisory Contract with representatives of the Adviser. The Independent Trustees were assisted in their evaluation of the Management Contracts and the Subadvisory Contract by independent legal counsel, from whom they received assistance and advice, including a written memorandum regarding the legal standards applicable to the consideration of advisory arrangements, and with whom they met separately from management. The Independent Trustees requested additional information, to which management responded.

 

In their deliberations, the Trustees did not identify any particular information that was all-important or controlling. Some of the factors that figured particularly in the Trustees’ deliberations are described below, although individual Trustees may have evaluated the information presented differently from one another, or given different weights to various factors in reaching their unanimous conclusion. The Trustees’ conclusions were based, in part, on their consideration of these arrangements during the course of the year and in prior years. The Trustees evaluated the information available to them on a Fund-by-Fund basis, and their determinations were made separately in respect of each Fund; however, they also took into account the common interests of all the Funds in their review.

 

 

 

159

 

 

 

June 30, 2022

 

 

Nature, Extent, and Quality of Services. In considering the Management Contracts and the Subadvisory Contract, the Trustees, including the Independent Trustees, evaluated the nature, extent, and quality of the advisory services provided to each Trust by the Adviser and, with respect to the Global Opportunities and the Global Environmental Markets Funds, the Subadviser. They considered the terms of the relevant Management Contract and the Subadvisory Contract, as applicable, and received and considered information provided by management that described, among other matters:

 

 

the nature and scope of the advisory services provided to the Funds and information regarding the experience, qualifications, and adequacy of the personnel providing those services;

 

 

the investment program used by the Adviser and the Subadviser to manage the Funds;

 

 

possible conflicts of interest and fall-out benefits;

 

 

brokerage practices;

 

 

the compliance functions of the Adviser and the Subadviser; and

 

 

financial results, assets under management, and other information relating to the financial resources of the Adviser.

 

In addition to considering the Funds’ investment performance (see below), the Trustees of each Trust considered, among other matters, the general oversight of the Funds by the Adviser. They took into account information concerning the investment philosophies and processes used by the Adviser and the Subadviser in managing the Funds as well as their in-house investment and sustainable research capabilities. They also considered various investment resources available to the Adviser and the Subadviser, including research services acquired with “soft dollars” available to the Adviser and the Subadviser as a result of securities transactions effected for the Large Cap and Small Cap Funds.

 

The Trustees considered, among other matters, that the Adviser provides the Trusts with office space and personnel, and provides oversight and coordination of the services provided by the Funds’ third-party service providers. These services include accounting, bookkeeping, tax, legal, audit, custody and transfer agency services, and preparation of prospectuses, shareholder reports and other regulatory filings. They also took into account the Adviser’s compliance and operational functions, as well as the resources being devoted by the Adviser to such functions and the Adviser’s operational response to the global pandemic.

 

 

160

 

 

 

June 30, 2022

 

 

The Trustees concluded, within the context of their overall conclusions regarding the Management Contracts and the Subadvisory Contract, that the scope of the services provided to each Fund under the relevant Management Contract, and to each of the Global Opportunities and Global Environmental Markets Funds by the Subadviser, was consistent with such Fund’s operational requirements; that the Adviser has the capabilities, resources, and personnel necessary to provide the advisory services currently required by each Fund; and that, overall, the nature, extent, and quality of the services provided by the Adviser and the Subadviser were sufficient to warrant approval of the Management Contracts and the Subadvisory Contract.

 

Fund Performance. In connection with the contract review meetings, the Trustees, including the Independent Trustees, reviewed information prepared by Broadridge Financial Solutions, Inc. (“Broadridge”) regarding the total return investment performance of the Funds, other than the US Sustainable Economy Fund and the Global Sustainable Infrastructure Fund, comparing each Fund’s investment results with those of other mutual funds within their Broadridge peer group over the one-, three-, five- and ten-year periods (to the extent the Fund had been in existence) ended December 31, 2021. The Trustees, including the Independent Trustees, considered the methodology employed by Broadridge to identify peer groups, including the extent to which such peer groups included other mutual funds that employ sustainable or socially responsible investing practices and the extent to which the peer group pursued investment strategies similar to those of the relevant Fund. The Independent Trustees considered that the Sustainable Allocation Fund had outperformed its peer group for the three- and five-year periods, but underperformed its peer group for the one- and ten-year periods. The Independent Trustees considered that the Small Cap Fund had outperformed its peer group for the one- and three-year periods, but underperformed its peer group for the five- and ten-year periods. The Independent Trustees considered that the International Sustainable Economy Fund had outperformed its peer group for the five- and ten-year periods, but underperformed its peer group for the one- and three-year periods. The Independent Trustees also noted that because the Fund’s name and strategy changed on March 31, 2021, the Fund’s performance for periods prior to March 31, 2021 may not be representative of the performance that it would have achieved had it been following its current investment strategy. The Independent Trustees considered that the Core Bond Fund had outperformed its peer group for the one-year period, but underperformed its peer group for the three- and five-year periods. The Independent Trustees considered that the Large Cap Fund had outperformed its peer group for the one-, three- and five-year periods. The Independent Trustees considered that the Global Environmental Markets Fund had outperformed its peer group for the one-, three- and ten-year periods, but

 

 

161

 

 

 

June 30, 2022

 

 

underperformed its peer group for the five-year period. The Independent Trustees considered that the Global Women’s Leadership Fund had underperformed its peer group for the one- and three-year periods, but outperformed its peer group for the five-year period. The Independent Trustees also noted that because the Fund’s name and strategy changed on June 4, 2014, the Fund’s performance for periods prior to June 4, 2014 may not be representative of the performance that it would have achieved had it been following its current investment strategy. The Independent Trustees considered that the High Yield Bond Fund had outperformed its peer group for the three- and five-year periods, but had underperformed its peer group for the one- and ten-year periods. The Independent Trustees considered that the Global Opportunities Fund had outperformed its peer group for the one-year period, but had underperformed its peer group for the three-year period.

 

The Trustees, including the Independent Trustees, also reviewed information regarding the total return investment performance of the US Sustainable Economy Fund and the Global Sustainable Infrastructure Fund, comparing each such Fund’s investment results with the average performance of the mutual funds in the same Lipper category over the one-, three-, five- and ten-year periods (to the extent the Fund had been in existence) ended December 31, 2021, noting that because each such Fund’s name and strategy had changed on March 31, 2021, the Fund’s performance for periods prior to March 31, 2021 may be not representative of the performance that it would have achieved had it been following its current investment strategy. The Independent Trustees considered that the US Sustainable Economy Fund had outperformed its Lipper category average for the one- and five-year periods, but had slightly underperformed its peer group for the three- and ten-year periods. The Independent Trustees also considered that the Global Sustainable Infrastructure Fund had outperformed its Lipper category average for the three- and five-year periods, but had underperformed its peer group for the one-year period.

 

The Independent Trustees also considered the steps taken by the Adviser to improve the performance of the Funds that had underperformed their peers and/or benchmarks over longer periods, including the changes to the name and principal investment strategies of the US Sustainable Economy, the Global Sustainable Infrastructure and the International Sustainable Economy Funds.

 

In addition to the information reviewed by the Trustees at the contract review meetings, the Trustees receive, during the year, detailed comparative performance information for each Fund including performance relative to one or more selected securities indices or other benchmarks.

 

 

162

 

 

 

June 30, 2022

 

 

Based on this and other information, the Trustees concluded, within the context of their overall conclusions regarding the Management Contracts and the Subadvisory Contract, that the relevant performance record and process in managing each Fund were sufficient to support approval of the Management Contracts and the Subadvisory Contract.

 

Fees and Other Expenses. The Trustees, including the Independent Trustees, considered the advisory fees paid by each Fund to the Adviser, and the subadvisory fees paid to the Subadviser by the Adviser with respect to the Global Opportunities and Global Environmental Markets Funds, as well as each Fund’s distribution and service (Rule 12b-1) fees, “other expenses” and total expenses. In doing so, the Trustees reviewed both information provided by management and information prepared by Broadridge regarding the expenses of each Fund relative to those of each Fund’s Broadridge peer group. The Independent Trustees considered that the total expenses of each of the Funds (after giving effect to the expense reimbursements and fee reduction described below, if applicable), other than the Large Cap and Global Opportunities Funds, were at or below the median total expenses of its respective peer group. The Independent Trustees also considered that the advisory fees of all Funds, other than the Large Cap Fund (after giving effect to the expense reimbursements described below, where applicable) were below the median combined management and administrative fees of their peer groups.

 

In connection with their review, the Trustees considered the Adviser’s agreement to reimburse the Global Opportunities Fund to the extent such Fund’s total operating expenses (other than interest, commissions, taxes, extraordinary expenses and acquired fund fees and expenses, if any) exceed a percentage of average daily net assets per annum of each share class as follows: 0.98% for Institutional Class shares and 1.23% for Investor Class shares before May 2, 2023. The Independent Trustees considered the Adviser’s agreement to waive a portion of its management fee for each of the US Sustainable Economy Fund and the Global Sustainable Infrastructure Fund. The Independent Trustees also noted that, under the Management Contracts with respect to the US Sustainable Economy, the Global Sustainable Infrastructure, the Ellevate Global Women’s Leadership, the International Sustainable Economy and the Sustainable Allocation Funds, the Adviser was obligated to pay all of the operating costs and expenses of the Fund (other than taxes, charges of governmental agencies, interest, brokerage commissions incurred in connection with portfolio transactions, distribution and/or service fees payable under a plan pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act, acquired fund fees and expenses and extraordinary expenses), including accounting expenses, administrator, transfer agent, and custodian fees, legal fees

 

 

163

 

 

 

June 30, 2022

 

 

and other expenses. The Trustees considered the expenses indirectly borne by the Sustainable Allocation Fund through its investment in other Funds, and the extent to which the services provided by the Adviser to the Sustainable Allocation Fund were distinct from, and not duplicative of, the services it provides to such other Funds. The Trustees of each Trust noted that the Adviser, at the time of the contract review meetings, did not have a significant institutional advisory business outside of the Funds.

 

Based on this and other information, the Trustees concluded, within the context of their overall conclusions regarding the Management Contracts and the Subadvisory Contract, that the fees and expenses to be charged represented reasonable compensation to the Adviser and the Subadviser in light of the services provided. In coming to this conclusion, the Trustees took into account, among other factors, the reimbursement agreement described above.

 

Costs of Services Provided and Profitability. The Trustees, including the Independent Trustees, reviewed information regarding the cost of services provided by the Adviser and the estimated profitability to the Adviser and the Subadviser of their relationships with the Funds, including a profitability report prepared by management detailing the costs of services provided to each Fund by the Adviser and the Subadviser, and the estimated profitability to each of the Adviser and the Subadviser, for the years ended December 31, 2021 and September 30, 2021, respectively, of its advisory and subadvisory relationship with each applicable Fund. The Trustees recognized that the Adviser and the Subadviser should, in the abstract, be entitled to earn a reasonable level of profit for the services provided to each Fund, and that it is difficult to make comparisons of profitability from mutual fund advisory contracts because comparative information is not generally available and is affected by numerous factors, including the structure of the particular adviser, the types of funds it manages, its business mix, numerous assumptions about cost allocations and each adviser’s capital structure and cost of capital. The Trustees of each Trust concluded that, taking all of the foregoing into account, they were satisfied that the level of profitability of each of the Adviser and the Subadviser from its relationship with the relevant Funds was not excessive.

 

Possible Fall-Out Benefits. The Trustees, including the Independent Trustees, considered information regarding the direct and indirect benefits to the Adviser and the Subadviser from their relationships with the respective Funds, including reputational and other “fall out” benefits.

 

During the course of the year, the Trustees received presentations from the Adviser about its trading practices and brokerage arrangements, including its policies with respect to research purchased with credits generated in connection with trades

 

 

164

 

 

 

June 30, 2022

 

 

executed for the Large Cap and Small Cap Funds (soft dollar arrangements), and the Trustees accepted the representation of the Adviser that it fulfills its fiduciary obligation of seeking best execution when engaging in portfolio transactions for the Funds. The Trustees considered the receipt of these benefits in light of the Adviser’s profitability, and concluded that such benefits were not excessive.

 

Possible Economies of Scale. The Trustees, including the Independent Trustees, considered the extent to which the Adviser and the Subadviser, as applicable, may realize economies of scale or other efficiencies in managing and supporting the Funds. They noted that as assets increase, certain fixed costs may be spread across a larger asset base, and it was noted that any economies of scale or other efficiencies might be realized (if at all) across a variety of products and services, including the Funds, and not only in respect of a single Fund. The Independent Trustees also noted that the Adviser agreed to waive a portion of its management fee for each of the US Sustainable Economy Fund and the Global Sustainable Infrastructure Fund. Based on these observations, the Independent Trustees concluded that the Funds’ overall fee arrangements represent an appropriate sharing at the present time between Fund shareholders and the Adviser and the Subadviser (where applicable) of any economies of scale or other efficiencies in the management of each Fund at current asset levels.

 

Conclusions. Based on their evaluation of factors that they deemed to be material, including those factors described above, the Board of Trustees of each Trust, including the Independent Trustees, unanimously concluded that the continuation of the Management Contracts with respect to each Fund and the continuation of the Subadvisory Contract for the applicable Funds, was in the best interests of the Funds and that the Management Contracts and the Subadvisory Contract should be approved.
