HOW SALES CHARGES ARE CALCULATED
- You
may buy Class A shares of the Domini Social Equity Portfolio, Domini
European Social Equity Portfolio, Domini PacAsia Social Equity
Portfolio, and Domini European PacAsia Social Equity Portfolio at the
offering price, which is the net asset value per share plus a
front-end sales charge of up to 4.75%.
- You
pay a lower sales charge as the size of your investment increases to
certain levels (called breakpoints).
- You
do not pay a sales charge on a Fund’s dividends or distributions that
you reinvest in Fund shares.
- The
Funds’ shares are subject to an annual distribution (12b-1) fee up to
0.25% of the Fund’s average daily net assets.
The table below shows the rate of sales charge you pay,
depending on the amount of shares you purchase. As provided in the table,
the percentage sales charge declines based upon the dollar value of shares
you purchase. The Fund offers additional ways to reduce your sales charges
as provided in the Reducing
Your Sales Charges section of the site.
Your Service Organization receives a percentage of these
sales charges as compensation for the services it provides to you. Your
Service Organization may also receive the annual distribution fee payable
on Fund shares at an annual rate of up to 0.25% of the average daily net
assets represented by the Fund shares it services.

* Shares may be available to
retirement plans without an initial sales charge where such plan’s record
keeper offers only load-waived shares and the shares are held on the books
for the Fund through an omnibus account. Initial sales charges may be
waived upon direct rollovers by plan participants of distributions from
certain 401(k) plans. Subsequent investments may, however, be subject to
the applicable sales charge.
** You pay no initial sales charge when you invest $1
million or more in a Fund’s shares. However, you may be subject to a
contingent deferred sales charge of up to 1.00% of the lesser of the cost
of the shares at the date of purchase or the value of the shares at the
time of redemption if you redeem them within one year of purchase. The
Funds’ distributor may pay up to 1.00% to a Service Organization for
purchase amounts of $1 million or more. In such cases, starting in the 13th
month after purchase, the Service Organization will also receive the annual
distribution fee of up to 0.25% of the average daily net assets of the Fund
held by its clients. Prior to the 13th month, the Fund’s
distributor will retain the service fee. Where the Service Organization
does not receive the payment of up to 1.00% from the Fund’s distributor,
the Service Organization will instead receive the annual service fee
starting immediately after purchase. In certain cases, the Service Organization
may receive both a payment of up to 1.00% from the distributor as well as
the annual distribution and service fee starting immediately after
purchase. Please contact your Service Organization for more information.
For
more information about sales charges, please consult your Service
Organization, or refer to the Fund’s prospectus.
