| Past performance is no guarantee of future results. The Fund’s returns quoted above represent past performance after all expenses. Investment return, principal value, and yield will fluctuate so that an investor’s shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Current performance may be lower or higher than the performance data quoted. For performance information current to the most recent month-end, see below or call 1-800-498-1351.
For the period reported in its current prospectus, during which net operating expenses were capped by the Fund’s Manager, the Fund’s gross annual operating expenses totaled 1.48% of net assets. Until November 30, 2008, the Fund’s Manager has contractually agreed to waive certain fees and/or reimburse certain expenses, including management fees, so that expenses paid by the Fund will not exceed, on a per annum basis, 0.95% of its average daily net assets representing Investor shares. Each Domini Fund charges a 2.00% redemption fee on sales or exchanges of shares made less than 30 days after the settlement of purchase or acquisition through exchange, with certain exceptions. See the Fund’s current prospectus for further information.
The table and the graph do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on distributions or the redemption of Fund shares. Total return is based on the Fund’s net asset values and assumes all dividends and capital gains were reinvested. An investment in the Fund is not a bank deposit and is not insured. You may lose money. Certain fees payable by the Fund were waived during the period, and the Fund’s average annual total returns would have been lower had these not been waived. The Lehman Brothers Intermediate Aggregate Index is an unmanaged index of intermediate-duration fixed-income securities. You cannot invest directly in an index.
Although the Domini Social Bond Fund is no-load, certain fees and expenses apply to a continued investment and are described in the prospectus. The composition of the Fund's portfolio is subject to change.
The Domini Social Bond Fund is not insured and is subject to market risks, including interest rate and credit risks. During periods of rising interest rates, bond funds can lose value. The Domini Social Bond Fund currently holds a large percentage of its portfolio in mortgage-backed securities. During periods of falling interest rates, mortgage-backed securities may prepay the principal due, which may lower the Fund’s return by causing it to reinvest at lower interest rates. Some of the Domini Social Bond Fund's community development investments may be unrated and carry greater credit risks than its other investments.
