LETTER FROM THE PRESIDENT 

Dear Fellow Shareholders: 

The greatness of this nation has always rested upon its commitment to the ordinary women and men working in our factories, shops, farms, schools, mines, and other places of employment. 

I grew up during the 1950s, an era in which a working person could support a family, buy a home, put the children through state university, and save for retirement — all on one salary. Thanks to the baby boomers from this era, this nation enjoyed the great expansion of the 1990s, when fields were developed that were unheard of in the past, such as computer technology, wireless phone communication, and drugs created through biotechnology. The giants of today's corporate leadership are the very products of America's commitment in the 1950s and '60s to maintaining fine public schools, paying workers enough so that their families could thrive, and providing the public with a degree of personal safety. 

Since then, improvements in income have been enjoyed only by the richest among us. From 1972 to 2004, for instance, the real average income of the top 1% more than doubled — from about $300,000 to more than $700,000 — while the average income of the other 99% remained flat, at around $37,500. The income gap has widened, not narrowed. 

There are many reasons for this. Increasing globalization has provided businesses access to a large pool of low-wage labor. CEO compensation has ballooned out of proportion to the wages earned by the average employee. Government policy, including tax cuts designed to benefit the rich, has arguably accelerated the concentration of wealth. 

Although individual companies cannot reverse these broad trends, they can do a great deal to improve the well-being of their employees — not only by paying them fair wages and rewarding them for their contributions to the company, but by providing a range of benefits that may save them money, enrich their lives, and advance their careers. 

At Domini Social Investments, we review our investments carefully. One of the primary indicators we use in evaluating a company is a supportive environment for employees. Creating such an environment is difficult, and no company does a perfect job of balancing the factors involved. In this report we profile some of the companies and agencies held in our portfolios that have made notable achievements in this area. 

When someone makes the decision to work for a company, she or he makes what may be a life-changing commitment. Employees may invest their intellectual capital, develop specialized skills, sacrifice time that could otherwise be spent with their families, or even risk their own health and safety. 

2


In fact, employers and employees can be viewed as participating in a partnership, and both parties have a responsibility to make it work. Employees must work diligently, and companies must in turn treat their employees fairly, assuring them, among other things, of a living wage and a comfortable retirement. But it should not stop there. The greatness of our nation over the next few decades will largely hinge on the workforce of today being able to give their children what baby boomers of the 1950s were given: an opportunity to excel. Companies that work to ensure a safe workplace, to encourage physical fitness, and to help employees deal with personal or family problems may benefit from increased employee productivity and loyalty. Where management and labor unions work respectfully with each other to balance their needs, both constituencies may find it easier to confront the challenges that businesses inevitably face. 

By sharing their financial success through profit sharing, employee stock ownership, or other forms of involvement and empowerment, companies can help align their employees' sense of personal growth and satisfaction with the growth and success of the firm. Companies that take steps to assure equity in pay for men and women and the financial well-being of their retirees, and those that award bonuses for those who reach social and environmental goals — not just financial goals — help build their own credibility and align their reward systems with their goals for society. 

The long-term success of a company depends on its relationship to a variety of stakeholders. Employees are among the most important of these stakeholders. As a social investor, you help encourage companies to adopt programs that promote the well-being of employees, which in turn strengthens our society. 

Thank you for being a Domini shareholder. We appreciate your trust and your commitment to helping create a better future for everyone. 

Very truly yours, 

Amy Domini

Domini Social Equity Portfolio 

PERFORMANCE COMMENTARY 

For the year ended July 31, 2006, the Domini Social Equity Portfolio (Class A Shares) returned 0.51%, excluding sales charges, while the Standard & Poor's 500 Index (S&P 500) returned 5.38%. 

Equity markets had modest gains for the 12-month period ended July 31, a year marked by concerns over oil prices and inflation. 

Despite the impact of Hurricane Katrina and the spike in oil prices that followed, corporate earnings showed surprising strength in 2005, increasing approximately 15% over 2004. However, earnings grew at a decreasing rate over the last two quarters of 2005. A slowdown in earnings is consistent with the later stages of economic expansions. 

The effect on oil prices of Hurricane Katrina and unrest in the Middle East heightened awareness that oil prices will remain vulnerable to production interruptions. Oil prices increased 26% during the 12 months ended July 31, ending at approximately $76 per barrel. 

Comments by the Federal Reserve Board after its 17th consecutive interest rate increase this June suggested that the Fed believed that although economic growth was moderating, some inflation risks remained. Payroll data reported in early July showed a 3.9% annualized increase in wages. 

Other economic statistics released during the six months ended July 31 pointed to a weakening economic environment. Nonfarm employment gains declined from an average of more than 176,000 jobs per month in the first quarter of 2006 to an estimated 112,000 jobs per month in April through July. Housing starts declined more than in any other period in the last eight years. 

Although some Wall Street analysts predict that corporate profits will grow 12% in 2006, others estimate that one-third of recent profit increases have come from energy and materials companies. This source of profit growth is cyclical and could disappear as increased prices for energy and materials drag on the economy as a whole. 

The performance of the Fund relative to the S&P 500 was hurt in part by its underweighting to the energy sector and its overweighting to the information technology sector. Negative return due to stock selection contributed to this effect. The Fund was hurt in particular by the Portfolio's overweighting in Dell and Intel

The relative performance of the Fund was helped in part by its overweighting to the telecommunications services sector. The Fund was also helped by the Portfolio's overweighting to JPMorgan Chase and its avoidance of General Electric and Wal-Mart

Comparison of $10,000 Investment in the
Domini Social Equity Portfolio and S&P 500 

Past performance is no guarantee of future results. The Fund's returns quoted above represent past performance after all expenses. Economic and market conditions change, and both will cause investment return, principal value, and yield to 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, call 1-800-582-6757 or visit www.domini.com. A 2.00% redemption fee is charged on sales or exchanges of shares made less than 60 days after the settlement of purchase or acquisition through exchange, with certain exceptions. Performance data quoted above does not reflect the deduction of this fee, which would reduce the performance quoted. See the Fund's prospectus for further information. 

The table and the graph do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on Fund distributions or the redemption of Fund shares. Total return for the Domini Social Equity Portfolio 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 Standard & Poor's 500 Index (S&P 500) is an unmanaged index of common stocks. Investors cannot invest directly in the S&P 500.

The Domini Social Equity Portfolio, which commenced operations on May 1, 2005, invests all of its assets in the Domini Social Equity Trust (DSET), which has the same investment objectives as the Fund. The DSET commenced operations on June 3, 1991. Perfomance prior to the Fund's commencement of operations is the performance of the DSET adjusted for expenses of the Fund.

DOMINI SOCIAL EQUITY PORTFOLIO 

EXPENSE EXAMPLE 

As a shareholder of the Domini Social Equity Portfolio, you incur two types of costs: 

• 

Transaction costs such as sales charges (loads) on purchases and redemption fees deducted from any redemption or exchange proceeds if you sell or exchange shares of the Fund after holding them less than 60 days 

• 

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

This example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds. 

The example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested on February 1, 2006, and held through July 31, 2006. 

Actual Expenses 

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

• 

Divide your account value by $1,000. 

• 

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

• 

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

7


Hypothetical Expenses 

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

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

Expenses are equal to the Fund's annualized expense ratio of 0.95% multiplied by average account value over the period, multiplied by 181, and divided by 365. The example reflects the aggregate expenses of the Fund and the Domini Social Equity Trust, the underlying portfolio in which the Fund invests.

Domini Social Equity Portfolio 

Social Profiles 

Employee Relations 

Companies may invest in their employees in a variety of ways. Some companies offer exceptional compensation or family benefits, like Nordstrom and Bright Horizons Family Solutions, which are profiled below. Some empower their workers through decentralized decision-making (Granite Construction) or reenergize them through generous sabbaticals (Intel). Some excel in training (Men's Wearhouse) while others help give employees a sense of worth by encouraging them to contribute to society (CDW). Each of the companies profiled below appears in Fortune magazine's 2006 list of 100 Best Companies to Work For. 

Other companies, including many in the portfolio of the Domini Social Equity Portfolio, are exceptional in their support for a diverse workforce that draws on the abilities of women, the handicapped, gays and lesbians, and people of various ethnic and religious backgrounds, or they have notably strong union relations. 

In an economy increasingly dependent on service and information industries, the value of companies is increasingly tied to the skills and morale of their employees. By investing in their employees, American companies often find they reap important benefits in the form of a loyal, motivated, and productive workforce. 

Bright Horizons Family Solutions (BFAM) 

By investing in its employees, Bright Horizons Family Solutions, which operates 560 childcare and early education centers, has helped make childcare a more desirable profession. 

Despite the importance of qualified daycare providers, daycare is often a poorly paid job. Bright Horizons, however, has opted to pay employees a rate more than 50% above the industry standard. Workers get a 50% discount on their own childcare, and 20 times a year they can use backup childcare for $10 a day. 

According to the company, in addition to the 12 weeks of unpaid parental leave required by the Family and Medical Leave Act, both female and male Brights Horizons employees may use sick time and vacation time to extend their leave. Unused sick time and vacation time carry over from year to year, up to a total of 240 hours and 160 hours, respectively. Mothers may also use two to four weeks of paid disability leave (or more, depending on the situation) to replace income during the early months of the baby's life. The company also offers adoption aid, an eldercare resource and referral plan, and lactation rooms at various centers. Employees can take  

9


advantage of alternative work schedules including flextime, compressed work weeks, part-time work, job sharing, and telecommuting. 

The company and its foundation fund about 100 children's playrooms and educational centers, called Bright Spaces, in homeless shelters around the country. In November 2005, the company reported that it was supporting 100 Bright Spaces in 28 states and that roughly 4,000 children accessed these centers each month. 

CDW (CDWC) 

CDW, a direct marketer of computer products, encourages performance with incentives, including profit-sharing when the company does well. Employees who have worked at CDW at least three years are awarded all-expense-paid vacations anywhere in the U.S. if the company's sales goals are met. Employees enjoy a subsidized on-site cafeteria, an on-site fitness center, free meals for second-shift employees, free breakfasts on certain days of the week, a complimentary all-day beverage service, free turkeys or pies for Thanksgiving and Christmas, and a paid day off for community service. 

CDW's generosity to its employees has helped spur generosity by its employees as well. Employees of CDW ordinarily enjoy an annual holiday party in Chicago that costs the company more than $1 million. In December 2005, employees chose to forego the company holiday party and donate the savings to relief for the victims of hurricanes in the Gulf Coast. The Louisiana Association of Business and Industry received $350,000 to launch its Small Business Reboot Program, and the company agreed to match up to $350,000 in donations made by employees. In August 2006, CDW reported that it had begun sending 300 employees on four-day ‘‘relief trips’’ to help rebuild homes destroyed by Hurricane Katrina. 

Granite Construction (GVA) 

Granite Construction — a major builder of highways and other construction projects — emphasizes integrity and uses stock ownership and decentralized decision-making to encourage its employees to feel involved in the company's success. 

In 1984, when an offer was made to buy the company, Granite instead reserved majority ownership for an employee stock ownership plan. Each year shares were given to all employees. In 1990, in order to avoid using up capital buying back shares when employees retired, Granite went public to create a market for employee-owned shares. As of December 2005, Granite employees owned approximately 18% of the company. (Only non-union hourly and salaried employees participate in the plan.) 

In 1990, the company introduced a week-long training program for young engineers, including a half day on ethical problems. The company drafted a new ethics policy based on a document by the company's founder, which  

10  Domini Social Equity Portfolio — Social Profiles


asserted the company's people would ‘‘boldly contend for that which is right and firmly reject that which is wrong.’’ 

Each of Granite's divisions is run as an individual profit center. At each of the company's branches, branch managers are compensated according to the profitability of the branch. A system for employees to continually teach one another is described by the company as a ‘‘living learning process.’’ For the last ten years, the voluntary turnover rate among U.S. employees of Granite has reportedly been less than 9%. 

Intel (INTC) 

Intel, the well-known manufacturer of semiconductor chips, offers an impressive array of employee benefits, but one of the most unusual is its sabbatical program. Workers are eligible for an eight-week paid sabbatical every seven years. Employees report returning to work more committed and more energized. 

In addition, Intel offers its employees a broad-based stock option plan and cash profit-sharing. Cash bonuses based on company profits are paid twice a year. An additional annual bonus is paid based on an employee's performance, the financial performance of the company, and the performance of the employee's business group. 

In 2006, the magazine Careers & the disABLED ranked Intel number 19 among 50 companies with the best reputation for employing and accommodating the disabled. In 2005, for the fourth year, Working Mother magazine included Intel on its list of the 100 best workplaces for working mothers. Also in 2005, Intel was one of 101 companies to receive a perfect score of 100% on the Human Rights Campaign's Corporate Equality Index, which rates companies on their policies toward gay, lesbian, bisexual, and transgender people. 

Men's Wearhouse (MW) 

Men's Wearhouse, which sells men's clothing at discounted prices, encourages employee loyalty by investing substantially in their training. 

Ninety-eight percent of regional and district managers have historically started in store positions. The company's Suits University offers a one-week training program for wardrobe consultants and managers, which covers consulting, customer service, corporate culture, merchandising, tailoring, and company benefits. The company also provides seasonal training seminars and in-store training and merchandising sessions. Long-time employees are eligible for a three-week paid sabbatical every five years — a notable policy for a retail store. 

The company also uses its product to help men change their lives for the better. Men's Wearhouse sponsors organizations such as Working Wardrobes, Career Gear, and Law Suits, which offer free suits and alterations to help men faced with poverty and homelessness to dress for interviews and reenter the workforce. 

Domini Social Equity Portfolio — Social Profiles  11


Nordstrom (JWN) 

The Nordstrom department store chain is notable for its family-friendly policies. The company offers up to 84 days of family and medical leave per year, which may be used for maternity or paternity or a variety of family care situations. In addition to flextime and other alternative work options, the company offers a ‘‘Moms-to-Babies Maternity Management Program,’’ which helps provide access to covered prenatal care, education materials for expectant parents, obstetrical nurse case management, a pregnancy risk assessment, and breastfeeding information and support. 

In addition to supporting its employees through its family benefits, Nordstrom has a policy of promoting from within. Most company managers and executives started on the selling floor and rose up through the company ranks, including members of the Nordstrom family. Former CEO and chair of the board John Whitacre began in the shoe department, former chair Bruce Nordstrom started in the stockroom, and president Blake Nordstrom began in the stockroom at age 14. 

The company is widely cited as setting the benchmark for customer service in the department store industry, rewarding employees for good customer service as well as high sales. 

The Fund invests in a portfolio designed to replicate the Domini 400 Social Index.SM All companies in the Fund's portfolio are measured against multiple standards of corporate accountability. We seek to avoid companies that manufacture alcohol, tobacco, or firearms, derive revenues from gambling operations, own or operate nuclear power plants, or earn significant revenues from weapons contracting. Before investing in any company, our social research providers at KLD Research & Analytics, Inc. (KLD) evaluate its social profile by weighing both strengths and weaknesses in the areas of community impact, diversity, employee relations, the environment, human rights, and product safety and usefulness. KLD is responsible for maintaining the Domini 400 Social Index and developing and applying its social and environmental standards. Special thanks to KLD for allowing us to reproduce portions of its research in these pages.

Unlike other mutual funds, the Domini Social Equity Portfolio seeks to achieve its investment objective by investing all of its investable assets in a separate portfolio with an identical investment objective called the Domini Social Equity Trust (DSET). The companies discussed above can be found in the DSET's Portfolio of Investments at July 31, 2006, included herein. The composition of the DSET is subject to change.

Domini European Social Equity Portfolio 

Performance Commentary 

From its inception on October 3, 2005, through July 31, 2006, the Domini European Social Equity Portfolio (Class A shares) returned 24.76%, excluding sales charges, while the Morgan Stanley Capital International Europe Index (MSCI Europe) returned 18.59%. 

The Fund's share price is denominated in U.S. dollars and generally will be exposed to European currency movements. In addition to other risks, the Fund will benefit when European currencies strengthen against the dollar and will be hurt when European currencies weaken against the dollar. 

European stocks turned in strong performance for the period from October 3, 2005, through July 31, 2006. The MSCI Europe index was up 11.05% in European currency terms and 18.59% in U.S. dollar terms. The broader international MSCI World index was up 8.29% in international currency terms and 10.75% in U.S. dollar terms. 

The European economy grew at a gradually increasing rate in the second half of 2005. By the second quarter of 2006, economists expected the economy to grow at its fastest rate since 2000. Unemployment declined to 7.8% in the euro zone. The European Commission's index of economic sentiment increased to its highest level since March 2001. In the first quarter, GDP growth increased from 1.7% to 1.9% in the euro zone, and increased in the United Kingdom to 2.3%. 

To curb inflationary pressure, the European Central Bank raised interest rates 0.25% in June, to 2.75%, while the Bank of England left interest rates at 4.50%. (In early August, the Bank of England increased interest rates by 0.25%, and the European Central Bank passed its third 0.25% increase of the calendar year.) With the U.S. and Japan raising rates as well, the world's three largest economies were in a ‘‘tightening’’ cycle. Higher interest rates were expected to increase borrowing costs, reducing corporate and consumer spending, and to increase the cost of financing, a major driver of acquisition- and merger-driven restructuring. Europe's mergers and acquisitions activity totaled more than $400 billion in the first quarter of 2006, more than twice as much as in the first quarter of the previous year. Although European companies increased their operating margins to 11% in 2005, equaling their peak levels in 2000, increased corporate costs may lower these margins. 

The Fund's performance was helped in part by its underweighting to the energy sector and its overweighting to financials. The Fund was also helped by its overweighting to Arcelor (France: Materials), Schering (Germany: Pharmaceuticals and Biotechnology), and Fiat (Italy: Automobiles). 

The Fund's performance was hurt in part by its overweighting to the consumer discretionary sector and its underweighting to materials. The

Fund's performance was hurt in particular by its overweighting to Dampskibssel Torm (Denmark: Energy), Arriva (United Kingdom: Transportation), and Seat Pagine (Italy: Media).

Past performance is no guarantee of future results. The Fund's returns quoted above represent past performance after all expenses. Economic and market conditions change, and both will cause investment return, principal value, and yield to 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, call 1-800-582-6757 or visit www.domini.com. A 2.00% redemption fee is charged on sales or exchanges of shares made less than 60 days after the settlement of purchase or acquisition through exchange, with certain exceptions. Performance data quoted above does not reflect the deduction of this fee, which would reduce the performance quoted. See the Fund's prospectus for further information. 

Investing internationally involves special risks, such as currency fluctuations, social and economic instability, differing securities regulations and accounting standards, limited public information, possible changes in taxation, and periods of illiquidity. 

The table does not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on Fund distributions or the redemption of Fund shares. Total return for the Domini European Social Equity Portfolio 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 Morgan Stanley Capital International Europe (MSCI Europe) is an unmanaged index of common stocks. Investors cannot invest directly in the MSCI Europe.

DOMINI EUROPEAN SOCIAL EQUITY PORTFOLIO 

EXPENSE EXAMPLE 

As a shareholder of the Domini European Social Equity Portfolio, you incur two types of costs: 

• 

Transaction costs such as sales charges (loads) on purchases and redemption fees deducted from any redemption or exchange proceeds if you sell or exchange shares of the Fund after holding them less than 60 days 

• 

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

This example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds. 

The example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested on February 1, 2006, and held through July 31, 2006. 

Actual Expenses 

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

• 

Divide your account value by $1,000. 

• 

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

• 

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

23


Hypothetical Expenses 

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

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

Social Profiles 

Employee Relations 

European workers often enjoy impressive employee benefits not only because of the generosity of their employers but because of government policy. While two weeks' vacation is a common standard in the United States, vacations in Europe are frequently six weeks and are often mandated by national law. The 35-hour work week adopted over the past several years in France and Germany has proven both popular with unions and controversial in management and political circles. 

In France, companies are required to share profits with employees, and in Germany they are required to provide workers representation on corporate supervisory boards. Unionization of workers is often negotiated on a regional or national basis, rather than company by company. In countries where laws make it difficult for companies to lay off employees, training employees to handle new roles has become a higher priority than in the U.S. 

Below, we profile three companies in the portfolio of the Domini European Social Equity Portfolio where the commitment to employees goes beyond the benefits required by law. 

Lufthansa 

Country: Germany
Industry: Transportation 

Airlines such as Lufthansa were hard-hit after the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001. Unlike airlines that responded by slashing their payroll, Lufthansa took steps to avoid laying off employees. 

According to the company, cost-cutting measures began at the top, as Lufthansa's board of management decided to cut its own remuneration by 10%. Many managers and employees whose salaries were not covered by collective pay agreements took temporary cuts in their base salary. Those who were covered by such agreements negotiated other measures to cut costs, such as part-time work and reducing their unused vacation days, overtime, and extra work. The company reported that more than 400 employees agreed to take unpaid leave to help protect their fellow employees' jobs. 

In addition to a commitment to ethnic and gender diversity, Lufthansa has sought out handicapped applicants for its call center in Berlin, and established a program called HR Development Over 40 to address the needs of older employees. A campaign called Flexibility for Fathers, launched in 2001, is aimed at motivating male employees to take a more active role in raising children. 

25


Marks & Spencer 

Country: United Kingdom
Industry: Retailing 

In April 2006, as the British retailer Marks & Spencer was enjoying a resurgence in profits after several difficult years, the company decided to reward its employees. More than 50,000 shop-floor workers received bonuses of up to £500 with their July paychecks, and thousands of managers received more than £6,000. The payout totaled £70 million, and the company said it might award similar bonuses at the end of the year. 

Through an innovative program called Marks & Start, the company reports that it helps disadvantaged people — single parents and people who are handicapped, homeless, or young and unemployed — to join the workforce, many of them as new Marks & Spencer employees. Launched in 2004, the program offers 2,500 work placements per year. 

According to the company, participants are placed for two or four weeks in a Marks & Spencer store or office in the United Kingdom or Ireland. Each participant is assigned an employee mentor and is given travel expenses, free meals in store cafes, uniforms when necessary, and references when requested. More than 30% of the participants have been hired within 13 weeks of their placement, either with Marks & Spencer or another employer. Of 319 homeless people who have taken part in the program, 130 have found permanent employment, including 76 hired by Marks & Spencer. 

Nokia 

Country: Finland
Industry: Technology Hardware & Equipment 

Jorma Ollila, who became CEO of Nokia in 1992, redirected the company from heavy machinery to the emerging field of cell phones. Ollila also built one of the world's biggest saunas, where Nokia employees reportedly hold regular business meetings to this day. 

Although few of Nokia's other employee practices are as unusual, the company offers an impressive range of benefits and programs. Incentive programs for employees include rewards for individuals, teams, projects or programs, and a stock option plan. The company offers employees medical checkups, counseling, and insurance programs, as well as access to sporting, social, and cultural activities. Services aimed at improving work/life balance include telecommuting, flexible working hours, sabbaticals, and study leaves. 

26  Domini European Social Equity Portfolio — Social Profiles


Each year an outside party conducts an employee survey called ‘‘Listening to You,’’ which covers topics such as employee motivation and involvement, leadership, and training and development. The ‘‘Ask HR’’ feature on Nokia's intranet allows employees to ask questions about employee practices, even anonymously, and receive a prompt and openly available response. 

 

Investing internationally involves special risks, such as currency fluctuations, social and economic instability, differing securities regulations and accounting standards, limited public information, possible changes in taxation, and periods of illiquidity. 

Unlike other mutual funds, the Domini European Social Equity Portfolio seeks to achieve its investment objective by investing all of its investable assets in a separate portfolio with an identical investment objective called the Domini European Social Equity Trust (DESET).The companies discussed above can be found in the DESET's Portfolio of Investments at July 31, 2006, included herein. The composition of the DESET's portfolio is subject to change. 

The preceding profiles should not be deemed an offer to sell or a solicitation of an offer to buy the stock of any of the companies noted, or a recommendation concerning the merits of any of these companies as an investment.

DOMINI SOCIAL EQUITY TRUST 

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 

JULY 31, 2006 

1. ORGANIZATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES 

Domini Social Equity Trust (formerly Domini Social Index Trust) (the ‘‘Portfolio’’) is a series of Domini Social Trust (formerly Domini Social Index Portfolio) (the ‘‘Trust’’) which is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 as a diversified, open-end management investment company and was organized as a trust under the laws of the State of New York on June 7, 1989. The Portfolio intends to correlate its investment portfolio as closely as is practicable with the Domini 400 Social Index,SM which is a common stock index developed and maintained by KLD Research & Analytics, Inc. The Declaration of Trust permits the Trustees to issue an unlimited number of beneficial interests in the Portfolio. The Portfolio commenced operations effective on August 10, 1990, and began investment operations on June 3, 1991. The Domini European Social Equity Trust, another series of the Trust, commenced operations on October 3, 2005. 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America 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 following is a summary of the Portfolio's significant accounting policies. 

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

Portfolio securities for which market quotations are not readily available are valued at fair value as determined in good faith under consistently applied procedures by or at the direction of the Portfolio's Board of Trustees. 

(B) Investment Transactions and Investment Income. Investment transactions are accounted for on the trade date. Realized gains and losses  

36


from security transactions are determined on the basis of identified cost. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date. 

(C) Federal Taxes. The Portfolio will be treated as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes and is therefore not subject to U.S. federal income tax. As such, each investor in the Portfolio will be taxed on its share of the Portfolio's ordinary income and capital gains. It is intended that the Portfolio will be managed in such a way that an investor will be able to satisfy the requirements of the Internal Revenue Code applicable to regulated investment companies. 

2. TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES 

(A) Manager. Domini Social Investments LLC (Domini) is registered as an investment advisor under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940. The services provided by Domini consist of investment supervisory services, overall operational support, and administrative services. The administrative services include the provision of general office facilities and supervising the overall administration of the Portfolio. For its services under the Management Agreement, Domini receives from the Portfolio a fee accrued daily and paid monthly at an annual rate equal to 0.20% of the first $2 billion of net assets managed, 0.19% of the next $500 million of net assets managed, and 0.18% of net assets managed in excess of  $2.5 billion. 

(B) Submanager. SSgA Funds Management, Inc. (SSgA) provides investment submanagement services to the Portfolio on a day-to-day basis pursuant to a Submanagement Agreement with Domini. SSgA does not determine the composition of the Domini 400 Social Index.SM The Index's composition is determined by KLD Research & Analytics, Inc. 

3. INVESTMENT TRANSACTIONS 

For the year ended July 31, 2006, cost of purchases and proceeds from sales of investments, other than U.S. government securities and short-term obligations, aggregated $179,499,762 and $383,181,301, respectively. Per the Portfolio's arrangement with Investors Bank & Trust (‘‘IBT’’), credits realized as a result of uninvested cash balances are used to reduce a portion of the Portfolio's expenses. For the year ended July 31, 2006, custody fees of the Portfolio were reduced by $106,023 under these arrangements. 

4. SUBSEQUENT EVENT 

Effective November 30, 2006, the Domini Social Equity Trust will be an actively managed Portfolio submanaged by Wellington Management Company, LLP. In connection with this change in investment strategy, an increased management fee equal to 0.30% of the first $2 billion of net assets managed was approved. Domini will pay Wellington from its management fee. See Approval of New Management Agreement between Domini Social Equity Trust and Domini, New Submanagement Agreement between Domini and Wellington, and 2006 Proxy Results.

Domini Social Equity Portfolio 

Notes to Financial Statements 

July 31, 2006 

1. ORGANIZATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES 

Domini Social Equity Portfolio (the ‘‘Fund’’) is a series of the Domini Advisor Trust. The Trust is a Massachusetts business trust registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 as an open-end management investment company. The Fund invests substantially all of its assets in the Domini Social Equity Trust (the ‘‘Portfolio’’), a diversified, open-end management investment company having the same investment objectives as the Fund. The Portfolio is a series of Domini Social Trust (formerly Domini Social Index Portfolio). The value of such investment reflects the Fund's proportionate interest in the net assets of the Portfolio (approximately 0.1% at July 31, 2006). The financial statements of the Portfolio are included elsewhere in this report and should be read in conjunction with the Fund's financial statements. The inception date of the Fund was February 14, 2005 and it commenced operations on May 1, 2005. 

Shares of the Domini Social Equity Portfolio are sold with a front-end sales charge (load) up to 4.75%. 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America 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 following is a summary of the Fund's significant accounting policies. 

(A) Valuation of Investments: Valuation of securities by the Portfolio is discussed in Note 1 of the Portfolio's Notes to Financial Statements, which are included elsewhere in this report. 

(B) Investment Income and Dividends to Shareholders: The Fund earns income daily, net of Portfolio expenses, on its investments in the Portfolio. Dividends to shareholders are usually declared and paid quarterly from net investment income. Distributions to shareholders of realized capital gains, if any, are made annually. Distributions are determined in conformity with income tax regulations, which may differ from generally accepted accounting principles. Reclassifications have been made to the Fund's components of net assets to reflect income and gains available for distribution (or available capital loss carryovers, as applicable) under income tax regulations. 

43


(C) Federal Taxes: The Fund's policy is to comply with the provisions of the Internal Revenue Code applicable to regulated investment companies and to distribute substantially all of its taxable income, including net realized gains, if any, within the prescribed time periods. Accordingly, no provision for federal income or excise tax is deemed necessary. 

On July 13, 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) released FASB Interpretation No. 48 ‘‘Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes’’ (FIN 48). FIN 48 provides guidance for how uncertain tax positions should be recognized, measured, presented and disclosed in the financial statements. FIN 48 requires the evaluation of tax positions taken in the course of preparing the Fund's tax returns to determine whether the tax positions are ‘‘more-likely-than-not’’ of being sustained by the applicable tax authority. Tax benefits of positions not deemed to meet the more-likely-than-not threshold would be recorded as a tax expense in the current year. Adoption of FIN 48 is required for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006 and is to be applied to all open tax years as of the effective date. At this time, management is evaluating the implications of FIN 48 and its impact in the financial statements has not yet been determined. 

(D) Other: All net investment income and realized and unrealized gains and losses of the Portfolio are allocated daily pro rata among the Fund and the other investors in the Portfolio. 

(E) Redemption Fees: Redemptions and exchanges of Fund shares held less than 60 days may be subject to the Fund's redemption fee, which is 2% of the amount redeemed. Such fees are retained by the Fund and are recorded as an adjustment to paid in capital. 

2. TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES 

(A) Manager. The Portfolio has retained Domini Social Investments LLC (Domini) to serve as investment manager and administrator. The services provided by Domini consist of investment supervisory services, overall operational support, and administrative services, including the provision of general office facilities and supervising the overall administration of the Portfolio. For its services under the Management Agreement, Domini receives from the Portfolio a fee accrued daily and paid monthly at an annual rate equal to 0.20% of the first $2 billion of net assets managed, 0.19% of the next $500 million of net assets managed, and 0.18% of net assets managed in excess of $2.5 billion. 

(B) Submanager. SSgA Funds Management, Inc. (SSgA) provides investment submanagement services to the Portfolio on a day-to-day basis pursuant to a Submanagement Agreement with Domini. SSgA does not determine the composition of the Domini 400 Social Index.SM The Index's composition is determined by KLD Research & Analytics, Inc. 

(C) Sponsor. Pursuant to a Sponsorship Agreement, Domini provides the Fund with the administrative personnel and services necessary to operate  

44  Domini Social Equity Portfolio — Notes to Financial Statements


the Fund. In addition to general administrative services and facilities for the Fund similar to those provided by Domini to the Portfolio under the Management Agreement, Domini answers questions from the general public and the media regarding the composition of the Index and the securities holdings of the Portfolio. For these services and facilities, Domini receives fees computed and paid monthly from the Fund at an annual rate equal to 0.50% of the average daily net assets of the Fund. Domini is contractually waiving its fee and reimbursing expenses to the extent necessary to keep the aggregate annual operating expenses of the Fund (including the Fund's share of the Portfolio's expenses but excluding brokerage fees and commissions, interest, taxes, and other extraordinary expenses), net of waivers and reimbursements, at no greater than 0.95% of the average daily net assets of the Fund until November 30, 2006, absent an earlier modification by the Board of Trustees, which oversees the Fund. For the year ended July 31, 2006, Domini waived fees and reimbursed expenses totaling $113,574. 

(D) Distributor. The Board of Trustees of the Fund has adopted a Distribution Plan in accordance with Rule 12b-1 under the Act. DSIL Investment Services LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of Domini (DSILD), acts as agent of the Fund in connection with the offering of shares of the Fund pursuant to a Distribution Agreement. Under the Distribution Plan, the Fund pays expenses incurred in connection with the sale of Fund shares and pays DSILD a distribution fee at an aggregate annual rate not to exceed 0.25% of the Fund's average daily net assets. For the year ended July 31, 2006, fees waived totaled $689. 

DSIL Investment Services, LLC, the Fund's Distributor, has received $1,740 for commissions related to the sale of the Fund's shares for the year ended July 31,  2006. 

3. INVESTMENT TRANSACTIONS

The Board of Trustees and Investors
Domini Advisor Trust: 

We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities of Domini Social Equity Portfolio (the ‘‘Fund’’), a series of the Domini Advisor Trust, as of July 31, 2006, and the related statement of operations for the year then ended, statement of changes in net assets for the year then ended and the period from February 14, 2005 (inception date) to July  31, 2005 and financial highlights for the year then ended and the period from May 1, 2005 (commencement of operations) to July 31, 2005. These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Fund's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and financial highlights based on our audit. 

We conducted our audit in accordance with auditing standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and financial highlights are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of the investment owned as of July 31, 2006, by correspondence with the record keeper for the portfolio. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion. 

In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Domini Social Equity Portfolio as of July 31, 2006, the results of its operations, and the changes in its net assets, for the year then ended and the period from February 14, 2005 to July  31, 2005, and financial highlights for the year then ended and the period from May 1, 2005 to July 31,  2005, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

DOMINI EUROPEAN SOCIAL EQUITY TRUST 

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
JULY 31, 2006 

1. ORGANIZATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES 

Domini European Social Equity Trust (European Trust) is a series of Domini Social Trust (formerly Domini Social Index Portfolio), which is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 as a diversified, open-end management investment company that was organized as a trust under the laws of the State of New York on June 7, 1989. The Declaration of Trust permits the Trustees to issue an unlimited number of beneficial interests in the European Trust. The European Trust was designated as a series of the Domini Social Trust on August 1, 2005, and commenced operations on October 3, 2005. The European Trust invests primarily in stocks of European companies that meet a comprehensive set of social and environmental standards. 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America 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 following is a summary of the European Trust's significant accounting policies. 

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

Securities for which market quotations are not readily available are valued at fair value as determined in good faith under consistently applied procedures by or at the direction of the European Trust's Board of Trustees. Securities that are primarily traded on foreign exchanges generally are valued at the closing price of such securities on their respective exchanges, except that if the European Trust's Manager or Submanager, as applicable, is of the opinion that such price would result in an inappropriate value for a security, including as a result of an occurrence subsequent to the time a value was so established, then the fair value of  

52


those securities may be determined by consideration of other factors by or under the direction of the Board of Trustees or its delegates. 

(B) Foreign Currency Translation. Securities and other assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollar amounts on the date of valuation. Purchases and sales of securities, and income and expense items denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollar amounts on the respective dates of such transactions. Occasionally, events may impact the availability or reliability of foreign exchange rates used to convert the U.S. dollar equivalent value. If such an event occurs, the foreign exchange rate will be valued at fair value using procedures established and approved by the Board of Trustees. 

The European Trust does not separately report the effect of fluctuations in foreign exchange rates from changes in market prices on securities held. Such fluctuations are included with the net realized and unrealized gain or loss from investments. 

Realized foreign exchange gains or losses arise from sales of foreign currencies, currency gains or losses realized between the trade and settlement dates on securities transactions and the difference between the recorded amounts of dividends, interest, and foreign withholding taxes and the U.S. dollar equivalent of the amounts actually received or paid. Net unrealized foreign exchange gains and losses arise from changes in fair value of assets and liabilities other than investments in securities held at the end of the reporting period, resulting from changes in exchange rates. 

(C) Foreign Currency Contracts. When the European Trust purchases or sells foreign securities it may enter into foreign exchange contracts to minimize foreign exchange risk from the trade date to the settlement date of the transactions. A foreign exchange contract is an agreement between two parties to exchange different currencies at an agreed upon exchange rate on a specified date. 

(D) Investment Transactions and Investment Income. Investment transactions are accounted for on trade date. Realized gains and losses from security transactions are determined on the basis of identified cost. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date. 

(E) Federal Taxes. The European Trust will be treated as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes and is therefore not subject to U.S. federal income tax. As such, each investor in the European Trust will be taxed on its share of the European Trust's ordinary income and capital gains. It is intended that the European Trust will be managed in such a way that an investor will be able to satisfy the requirements of the Internal Revenue Code applicable to regulated investment companies. 

2. TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES 

(A) Manager. Domini Social Investments LLC (Domini) is registered as an investment advisor under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940. The  

Domini European Social Equity Trust — Notes to Financial Statements  53


services provided by Domini consist of investment supervisory services, overall operational support, and administrative services. The administrative services include the provision of general office facilities and supervising the overall administration of the European Trust. For its services under the Management Agreement, Domini receives from the European Trust a fee accrued daily and paid monthly at an annual rate equal to 0.75% of the European Trust's average daily net assets. For the period ended July 31, 2006, Domini voluntarily waived fees totaling $117,787. 

(B) Submanager. Wellington Management Company, LLP (Wellington) provides investment submanagement services to the European Trust on a day-to-day basis pursuant to a Submanagement Agreement with Domini. 

3. INVESTMENT TRANSACTIONS 

For the period ended July 31, 2006, cost of purchases and proceeds from sales of investments, other than U.S. government securities and short-term obligations, aggregated $71,534,459, and $21,703,842, respectively. Per the European Trust's arrangement with Investors Bank & Trust (‘‘IBT’’), credits realized as a result of uninvested cash balances are used to reduce a portion of the European Trust's expenses. For the period ended July 31, 2006, custody fees of the European Trust were reduced by $27,686 under these arrangements.

Domini Social Trust: 

We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities, including the portfolio of investments, of Domini European Social Equity Trust (the ‘‘Trust’’), a series of Domini Social Trust, as of July 31, 2006, and the related statement of operations, and statement of changes in net assets for the period from October 3, 2005 (commencement of operations) to July 31, 2006, and financial highlights for the period from October 3, 2005 (commencement of operations) to July 31, 2006. These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Trust's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and financial highlights based on our audits. 

We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and financial highlights are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of July 31, 2006, by correspondence with the custodian and brokers, or by other means when responses were not received. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion. 

In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Domini European Social Equity Trust as of July 31, 2006, the results of its operations, and the changes in its net assets for the period from October 3, 2005 (commencement of operations) to July 31, 2006, and financial highlights for the period from October 3, 2005 (commencement of operations) to July 31, 2006, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

Domini European Social Equity PORTFOLIO 

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 

JULY 31, 2006 

1. ORGANIZATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES 

The Domini European Social Equity Portfolio (the ‘‘Fund’’) is a series of the Domini Advisor Trust. The Trust is a Massachusetts business trust registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 as an open-end management investment company. The Fund invests substantially all of its assets in the Domini European Social Equity Trust (the ‘‘Portfolio’’), a diversified, open-end management investment company having the same investment objectives as the Fund. The value of such investment reflects the Fund's proportionate interest in the net assets of the Portfolio (approximately 1.1% at July 31, 2006). The Fund commenced operations October 3, 2005. The financial statements of the Portfolio are included elsewhere in this report and should be read in conjunction with the Fund's financial statements. 

Shares of the Domini European Social Equity Portfolio are sold with a front-end sales charge (load) up to 4.75%. 

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

(A) Valuation of Investments. Valuation of securities by the Portfolio is discussed in Note 1 of the Portfolio's Notes to Financial Statements, which are included elsewhere in this report. 

(B) Investment Income and Dividends to Shareholders. The Fund earns income daily, net of portfolio expenses, on its investments in the Portfolio. Dividends to shareholders are usually declared and paid semi-annually from net investment income. Distributions to shareholders of realized capital gains, if any, are made annually. Distributions are determined in conformity with income tax regulations, which may differ from generally accepted accounting principles. Reclassifications have been made to the Fund's components of net assets to reflect income and gains available for distribution (or available capital loss carryovers, as applicable) under income tax regulations. 

(C) Federal Taxes. The Fund's policy is to comply with the provisions of the Internal Revenue Code applicable to regulated investment companies  

60


and to distribute substantially all of its taxable income, including net realized gains, if any, within the prescribed time periods. Accordingly, no provision for federal income or excise tax is deemed necessary. 

On July 13, 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) released FASB Interpretation No. 48 ‘‘Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes’’ (FIN 48). FIN 48 provides guidance for how uncertain tax positions should be recognized, measured, presented and disclosed in the financial statements. FIN 48 requires the evaluation of tax positions taken in the course of preparing the Fund's tax returns to determine whether the tax positions are ‘‘more-likely-than-not’’ of being sustained by the applicable tax authority. Tax benefits of positions not deemed to meet the more-likely-than-not threshold would be recorded as a tax expense in the current year. Adoption of FIN 48 is required for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006 and is to be applied to all open tax years as of the effective date. At this time, management is evaluating the implications of FIN 48 and its impact in the financial statements has not yet been determined. 

(D) Other. All net investment income and realized and unrealized gains and losses of the Portfolio are allocated pro rata on a daily basis among the Fund and the other investors in the Portfolio.

Approval of the Continuance of the Management Agreement between Domini Social Equity Trust and Domini and the Submanagement Agreement between Domini and SSgA 

At a meeting held on April 28, 2006, the Board of Trustees approved the continuance of the Management Agreement between the Domini Social Equity Trust (the ‘‘Portfolio’’) and Domini Social Investments LLC (‘‘Domini’’) (the ‘‘Management Agreement’’) and the Submanagement Agreement between Domini and SSgA Funds Management, Inc. (‘‘SSgA’’) (the ‘‘Submanagement Agreement’’). The Trustees including all of the Independent Trustees, concluded that each of Domini and SSgA had the capabilities, resources, and personnel necessary to manage the Portfolio. The Trustees further concluded that based on the services provided by Domini and SSgA to the Portfolio pursuant to the Management and Submanagement Agreement, respectively, the expenses incurred by Domini and SSgA in the performance of such services, the fees paid by similar funds and taking into account breakpoints, agreed-upon fee waivers and such other matter as the Trustees considered relevant, the compensation payable to each of Domini and SSgA under the Management and Submanagement Agreements, as applicable, is fair and reasonable. 

In their deliberations regarding the continuance of the Management and Submanagement Agreements for the Portfolio, the Trustees considered the information provided to them throughout the year at regular board meetings as well as the information prepared specifically in connection with the annual renewal process. In reaching their determination to approve the continuance of the Management and Submanagement Agreements, the Trustees considered a variety of factors they believed relevant and balanced a number of considerations. The Trustees did not identify any particular information or factor that was all-important or controlling. The primary factors considered and the conclusions reached are described below for each Agreement. 

Consideration of the Management Agreement 

Nature, Quality and Extent of Services Provided.    The Trustees considered that pursuant to the Management Agreement, Domini, subject to the direction of the Board, is responsible for providing advice and guidance with respect to the Portfolio and for managing the investment of the assets of the Portfolio, which it does by engaging and overseeing the activities of SSgA. The terms of the Management Agreement were reviewed by the Trustees. 

The Trustees considered the scope and quality of the services provided by Domini under the Management Agreement. They also considered Domini's capabilities and experience in the development and application of social and environmental screens and its reputation and leadership in the socially responsible investment community. The Trustees also considered the  

65


quality of the administration services Domini provided to the Portfolio and the other Domini Funds. In addition, they considered Domini's compliance policies and procedures and compliance record. Based on the foregoing, the Trustees concluded that they were satisfied with the nature, quality and extent of services provided by Domini to the Portfolio. 

Investment Results.    The Trustees considered the performance of the Portfolio, including, the performance of the Portfolio for the 3 months, 6 months, 1- and 2-year periods ended December 31, 2005 and March 31, 2006, as well as its cumulative performance from inception through December 31, 2005 and through March 31, 2006. Because the Domini Social Equity Portfolio (the ‘‘Equity Portfolio’’) and certain other Domini funds (collectively with the Equity Portfolio, the ‘‘Feeder Funds’’) invest their assets in the Portfolio, they also reviewed the performance of the Feeder Funds for the same periods. They considered the performance of the S&P 500 Index and the Domini 400 Social Index for the same periods. The Trustees noted that the Portfolio had underperformed when compared to the S&P 500 Index over most periods ending March 31, 2006. They noted that the performance of the Feeder Funds differed from each other and from the performance of the Portfolio to the extent of the expenses incurred by each such Fund. Because the objective of the Portfolio is to provide its investors with a long-term total return that matches the performance of the Domini 400 Social Index, the Trustees paid particular attention to the Portfolio's tracking error. They compared the Portfolio's tracking error to SSgA's tracking error with respect to other index funds for which it acts as advisor. They noted that the Portfolio's tracking error had been in an acceptable range. Based on their review, the Trustees concluded that the performance of the Portfolio over time had been satisfactory. 

Fees and Other Expenses.    The Trustees considered the advisory fees paid by the Portfolio to Domini. The Trustees also considered the administrative fees paid by the Feeder Funds. The Trustees considered the level of the Portfolio's and each Feeder Fund's advisory and administrative fees and total expense ratio versus relevant peer group averages. The Trustees also considered the fees that Domini charges its other clients with investment objectives similar to the Portfolio. The Trustees reviewed materials provided by Domini describing the differences in services provided to its non-fund client with similar objectives to the Portfolio and noted that the Portfolio, although it may receive more services than such non-fund client, paid a lower advisory fee. The Trustees considered that Domini (and not the Portfolio) pays SSgA from its advisory fee as well as the fees for licensing the Domini 400 Social Index. 

The Trustees considered that, based on the information provided with respect to the peer group, the advisory fee for the Portfolio was lower than  most peer group averages but slightly higher than the average advisory/administrative fee for the domestic equity index fund peer group. The Trustees also considered that, after giving effect to Domini's waiver of a portion of its fee, the total expense ratio for the Portfolio was lower than  

66


the average of all relevant peer groups, including the domestic equity index fund peer group average. The Trustees concluded that the advisory fees payable by the Portfolio were reasonable and supported the continuance of the Management Agreement. 

Costs of Services Provided and Profitability.    The Trustees reviewed information provided to them by Domini concerning the costs borne by and profitability of Domini in respect of its advisory and administrative relationship with the Portfolio and each of the Feeder Funds for the 2005 calendar year, along with a description of the methodology used by Domini in preparing the profitability information. The Trustees also reviewed the financial results realized by Domini in connection with the operations of the Domini Funds for December 31, 2005. The Trustees considered Domini's profit margin with respect to each Feeder Fund in comparison to industry data provided by Domini. The Trustees concluded that they were satisfied that Domini's level of profitability was not excessive in view of the nature, quality and extent of services provided. 

Economies of Scale.    The Trustees also considered whether economies of scale would be realized by Domini as the assets in the Portfolio increased and the extent to which economies of scale were reflected in the fees charged under the Management Agreement. The Trustees noted that the fee schedule to the Management Agreement contained breakpoints. The Trustees concluded that such breakpoints were an effective way to share economies of scale with the holders of beneficial interests in the Portfolio and supported the approval of the continuance of the Management Agreement. 

Other Benefits.    The Trustees considered the other benefits which Domini and its affiliates receive from their relationship with the Portfolio and the other Domini Funds. The Trustees reviewed the character and amount of other payments received by Domini and its affiliates, in respect of the Portfolio and each of the other Domini Funds. The Trustees considered that Domini's profitability would be lower if the benefits described above were not received. The Trustees considered the brokerage practices of Domini and noted that, based on information provided to them, Domini did not receive the benefits of ‘‘soft dollar’’ commissions with respect to the Domini Funds. The Trustees also considered the intangible benefits that may accrue to Domini and its affiliates by virtue of their relationship with the Domini Funds. The Trustees concluded that the benefits received by Domini and its affiliates, as outlined above, were reasonable in the context of the relationship between Domini and the Portfolio, and supported the approval of the continuance of the Management Agreement. 

Consideration of the Submanagement Agreement 

Nature, Quality and Extent of Services Provided.    The Trustees considered the scope and quality of the services provided by SSgA under the Submanagement Agreement. The Trustees considered that SSgA provides the day-to-day portfolio management of the Portfolio, including  

67


making purchases and sales of portfolio securities consistent with the Portfolio's investment objective and policies. The terms of the Submanagement Agreement were reviewed by the Trustees. 

The Trustees considered the professional experience, tenure and qualifications of the Portfolio's portfolio management team and other senior personnel at SSgA. They also considered SSgA's compliance policies and procedures and compliance record. Based on the foregoing, the Trustees concluded that they were satisfied with the nature, quality and extent of services provided by SSgA to the Portfolio. 

Investment Results.    For a discussion regarding the Investment Results considered by the Board and the Board's conclusions with respect to such Investment Results, please see ‘‘Management Agreement — Investment Results’’ above. 

Fees and Other Expenses.    The Trustees considered the submanagement fees paid by Domini to SSgA. The Trustees also considered the fees that SSgA charged its other clients with investment objectives similar to the Portfolio. The Trustees considered that the advisory fees SSgA receives with respect to its other index clients are within the general range of the submanagement fee it receives with respect to the Portfolio. The Trustees also noted that Domini (and not the Portfolio) pays SSgA from the advisory fee Domini receives from the Portfolio. The Trustees determined, based on the nature and quality of the services provided by SSgA and in light of the other factors  considered, that the fees paid by Domini to SSgA under the Submanagement Agreement were reasonable and supported continuance of the Submanagement Agreement. 

Costs of Services Provided and Profitability.    The Trustees considered information provided to them by SSgA concerning the costs borne by and profitability of SSgA in respect of its submanagement relationship with the Portfolio for the 2005 calendar year. The Trustees also considered SSgA's statements of income for December 31, 2004 and December 31, 2005. The Trustees considered SSgA's profit margin with respect to the Portfolio in comparison to industry data provided by Domini. Based on the information provided, the Trustees concluded that they were satisfied that SSgA's level of profitability was not excessive in view of the nature, quality and extent of services provided. 

Economies of Scale.    The Trustees considered whether economies of scale would be realized by SSgA as the assets in the Portfolio increased and the extent to which any economies of scale are reflected in the level of fees charged by SSgA. The Trustees also considered that there were breakpoints in the SSgA submanagement fee. The Trustees concluded that such breakpoints were an effective way to share economies of scale with the holders of beneficial interests in the Portfolio and supported continuance of the Submanagement Agreement. 

Other Benefits.    The Trustees considered the other benefits which SSgA and its affiliates receive from their relationship with the Portfolio, noting  

68


that SSgA and its affiliates provide no other services to the Portfolio. The Trustees considered the brokerage practices of SSgA and noted that, based on information provided to them, SSgA did not receive the benefits of ‘‘soft dollar’’ commissions with respect to the Portfolio. The Trustees also considered the intangible benefits that may accrue to SSgA and its affiliates by virtue of its relationship with the Portfolio. The Trustees concluded that the benefits received by SSgA and its affiliates were reasonable in the context of the relationship between SSgA and the Portfolio, and supported the approval of the continuance of the SSgA Submanagement Agreement. 

Approval of new Management Agreement between Domini Social Equity Trust and Domini and a new Submanagement Agreement between Domini and Wellington Management Company, LLP 

At a meeting held on April 28, 2006, the Board of Trustees approved a change in the investment strategy of the Portfolio from a passive to an active investment strategy. In connection with the change to an active investment strategy, the Board approved a new Management Agreement between the Portfolio and Domini (the ‘‘New Management Agreement’’) and a new Submanagement Agreement between Domini and Wellington Management Company, LLP (‘‘Wellington Management’’) (the ‘‘New Submanagement Agreement’’) (collectively, the ‘‘New Agreements’’). Shareholders of the Fund and holders of beneficial interests in the Portfolio approved the New Agreements at Special Meetings held on August 15, 2006. See disclosure of proxy results in next section. The new strategy will go into effect on or about November 30, 2006. 

The Trustees including all of the Independent Trustees, concluded that each of Domini and Wellington Management had the capabilities, resources, and personnel necessary to manage the Portfolio and implement the new investment strategy. The Trustees further concluded that based on the services to be provided by Domini and Wellington Management to the Portfolio pursuant to the New Management and New Submanagement Agreements, respectively, the expenses incurred by Domini and Wellington Management in the performance of such services, the fees paid by similar funds and taking into account breakpoints, agreed-upon fee waivers and such other matter as the Trustees considered relevant, the compensation payable to each of Domini and Wellington Management under the New Management and New Submanagement Agreements, as applicable, is fair and reasonable. 

In reaching their determination to approve the New Management and Submanagement Agreements, the Trustees considered a variety of factors they believed relevant and balanced a number of considerations. The Trustees did not identify any particular information or factor that was all-important or controlling. The primary factors considered and the conclusions reached are described below for each Agreement. 

69


Consideration of the New Management Agreement 

Nature, Quality, and Extent of Services Provided.    The Trustees considered that the terms of the New Management Agreement are the same as the existing Management Agreement except for the increase in fees payable to Domini. The Trustees considered that, pursuant to the New Management Agreement, Domini, subject to the direction of the Board, will continue to be responsible for providing advice and guidance with respect to the Portfolio and for managing the investment of the assets of the Portfolio, which it will do by engaging and overseeing the activities of Wellington Management. They considered that under the New Management Agreement, Domini would be responsible for applying social and environmental screens to a universe of securities. 

The Trustees considered the scope and the quality of the services to be provided by Domini under the New Management Agreement. They considered the professional experience, tenure, and qualifications of the portfolio management teams proposed for the Portfolio and the other senior personnel at Domini. They also considered Domini's capabilities and experience in the development and application of social and environmental investment standards and its reputation and leadership in the socially responsible investment community. They considered the quality of the administrative services Domini provided to the Portfolio and to the other Domini Funds. In addition, they considered Domini's compliance policies and procedures and compliance record. Based on the foregoing, the Trustees concluded that they were satisfied with the nature, quality and extent of services to be provided by Domini to the Portfolio. 

Investment Results.    The Trustees considered the performance of the Portfolio and each Feeder Fund compared to the S&P 500 Index, and noted that the annualized total returns of the Portfolio and each Feeder Fund had lagged annualized total return of the S&P 500 Index for the 1, 3, 5 and 10 year periods ending March 31, 2006 and since the Portfolio's and each Feeder Fund's inception. The Trustees considered information provided to them that showed that stock selection had generally helped the performance of the Portfolio compared to the S&P 500 Index over most time periods but that the underweight versus the S&P 500 Index of certain industries and sectors had hurt the Portfolio's performance compared to the benchmark. The Trustees considered how the passive investment strategy used by the Portfolio had impacted the performance of the Portfolio. 

Fees and Other Expenses.    The Trustees considered the increased management fees to be paid by the Portfolio to Domini under the New Management Agreement. The Trustees considered that Domini (and not the Portfolio) will pay Wellington Management from its advisory fee for the Portfolio. The Trustees also considered information that showed the net increase in fees that Domini would receive (after taking into account that Domini would pay the submanagement fees, giving effect to the  

70


waiver by Domini of certain fees and expenses and the expenses that Domini expected to incur in connection with providing the social and environmental screening for the Portfolio). The Trustees also reviewed the fees that Domini charges its other clients with investment objectives similar to the Portfolio. The Trustees reviewed materials provided by Domini describing the differences in services provided to its non-fund client with similar objectives to the Portfolio and noted that the Portfolio, although it may receive more services than such non-fund client, paid a lower advisory fee. The Trustees compared the level of the Portfolio's and each Feeder Fund's advisory and administrative fees and total expense ratios versus relevant peer group averages. 

The Trustees also reviewed the fees under the existing Management Agreement and considered that the current total expense ratio for the Equity Portfolio exceeded the peer group average total expense ratio for U.S. equity index funds even after giving effect to the waiver by Domini of certain fees and expenses. The Trustees considered the reasons that the total expense ratio of the Fund exceeded that of the U.S. equity index funds peer group and noted that, given the license, submanagement and other fees paid or reimbursed by Domini, a reduction of fees was not likely to be a feasible alternative. The Trustees then considered that the proposed new management fee for the Portfolio was lower than the average management fees of various peer groups. 

Costs of Services Provided and Profitability.    The Trustees reviewed information provided to them by Domini concerning the costs borne by and profitability of Domini with respect to its advisory and administrative relationship with the Portfolio and the Equity Portfolio for the 2005 calendar year, along with a description of the methodology used by Domini in preparing the profitability information. The Trustees also reviewed information provided to them by Domini that showed the net dollar increase in fees that Domini expected to receive under the New Management Agreement and reviewed the increased expenses that Domini expected to incur in providing services under the New Management Agreement. The Trustees concluded that they were satisfied that Domini's expected level of profitability with respect to the New Management Agreement was reasonable in view of the nature, quality and extent of services to be provided. 

Economies of Scale.    The Trustees also considered whether economies of scale would be realized by Domini as the Portfolio got larger and the extent to which economies of scale were reflected in the proposed new fee schedules. The Trustees noted that breakpoints were being proposed for both the New Management Agreement, and also considered the fee waivers proposed by Domini. The Trustees concluded that such breakpoints were an effective way to share economies of scale with the holders of beneficial interests in the Portfolio and that this was a positive factor in support of approval of the New Management Agreement. 

Other Benefits.    The Trustees considered the other benefits that Domini and its affiliates received and could be expected to receive from their  

71


relationship with the Portfolio and the other Domini Funds. The Trustees reviewed the character and amount of payments that will continue to be received by Domini and its affiliates in connection with its relationship to the Portfolio and the other Domini Funds. The Trustees also considered the intangible benefits that would continue to accrue to Domini and its affiliates by virtue of their relationship with the Portfolio and how implementation of the new strategy would likely increase those benefits. The Trustees concluded that the benefits expected to be received by Domini and its affiliates, as outlined above, were reasonable in the context of the relationship between Domini and the Portfolio and supported the approval of the New Management Agreement. 

Consideration of the New Submanagement Agreement 

Nature, Quality, and Extent of Services Provided.    The Trustees considered the scope and quality of the services to be provided by Wellington Management under the New Submanagement Agreement, including the provision of day-to-day portfolio management of the Portfolio, including making purchases and sales of portfolio securities consistent with the Portfolio's investment objective and policies. The Trustees also considered the positive results of interviews with several of Wellington Management's current clients. 

The Trustees considered the professional experience, tenure, and qualifications of the proposed portfolio management team and other senior personnel at Wellington Management. The Trustees also reviewed Wellington Management's compliance policies and procedures and compliance record. The Trustees further considered the terms of the New Submanagement Agreement and its differences with the existing Submanagement Agreement. The Trustees concluded that they were satisfied with the nature, quality and extent of services to be provided by Wellington Management to the Portfolio under the New Submanagement Agreement. 

Investment Results.    The Trustees considered the annualized total returns of Wellington Management's core U.S. intersection total composite for the 1, 3, 5 and 10 years ending December 31, 2005 and the model investment performance of Wellington Management's core U.S. quantitative equity strategy, which Wellington Management proposed to adapt for the Portfolio. The Trustees considered the performance of both the composite and the model was consistent and reasonable when compared to the benchmark of the Portfolio. The Trustees also considered the differences between the proposed investment objectives and strategies of the Portfolio and the core U.S. quantitative equity strategy including that the model performance data did not factor in the application of Domini's social and environmental screening process. The Board considered the positive impact of the social and environmental screens on the performance of another Domini fund with a similar strategy. 

72


Fees and Other Expenses.    The Trustees considered the submanagement fees to be paid by Domini to Wellington Management. The Trustees compared the investment submanagement fees proposed by Wellington Management with the fees charged by the current submanager of the Portfolio. They noted that the fees proposed by Wellington Management were significantly higher than the fees currently being paid to the submanager of the Portfolio and considered that the increase was reasonable given that Wellington Management would be using an active, rather than a passive, investment strategy. The Trustees also reviewed the submanagement fees that Wellington Management charges its other mutual fund clients, and noted that the submanagement fees Wellington Management receives with respect to its other mutual fund clients are within the general range of the submanagement fee it would receive with respect to the Portfolio. The Trustees noted that Domini (and not the Portfolio) will pay Wellington Management from its management fee and that they had reviewed the management fee and comparative fee information in connection with their consideration of the New Management Agreement. The Trustees determined, based on the nature and quality of the services to be provided by Wellington Management, and in light of the other factors considered, that the fees proposed by Wellington Management were reasonable and supported approval of the New Submanagement Agreement. 

Costs of Services Provided and Profitability.    The Trustees considered the consolidated balance sheet for Wellington Management and its subsidiaries as of December 31, 2005. The Trustees did not, however, receive information regarding the estimated costs to Wellington Management of the services proposed to be provided by it to the Portfolio or the estimated profits that may be realized by Wellington Management from its submanagement relationship with the Portfolio. The Trustees considered that it would be difficult for Wellington Management to estimate such costs and profits given that Wellington Management had not yet provided submanagement services to the Portfolio. The Trustees also noted that it would be appropriate to request and review such information when they considered the continuation of the New Submanagement Agreement. 

Economies of Scale.    The Trustees considered whether economies of scale would be realized by Wellington Management as the Portfolio got larger and the extent to which economies of scale were reflected in the proposed fee schedule under the New Submanagement Agreement. The Trustees also considered that there were breakpoints in the proposed fee reflected in the New Submanagement Agreement. The Trustees concluded that such breakpoints, as proposed, were an effective way to share economies of scale with the holders of beneficial interests in the Portfolio which was a positive factor supporting the approval of the New Submanagement Agreement. 

Other Benefits.    The Trustees considered the other benefits that Wellington Management and its affiliates could be expected to receive from their relationship with the Portfolio, noting that none of Wellington  

73


Management or any of its affiliates would be providing any other services to the Portfolio. The Trustees also considered the brokerage practices of Wellington Management. In addition, the Trustees considered the intangible benefits that may accrue to Wellington Management and its affiliates by virtue of their relationship with the Portfolio. The Trustees concluded that the benefits expected to be received by Wellington Management and its affiliates were reasonable in the context of the relationship between Wellington Management and the Portfolio and supported the approval of the New Submanagement Agreement.

(e)(1)     Audit Committee Preapproval Policy: The Registrant’s Audit Committee Preapproval Policy is set forth below:

1.    Statement of Principles

The Audit Committee is required to preapprove audit and non-audit services performed for each series of the Domini Social Trust, the Domini Social Investment Trust, the Domini Institutional Trust and the Domini Advisor Trust (each such series, a ‘‘Fund’’ and collectively, the ‘‘Funds’’) by the independent accountant in order to assure that the provision of such services does not impair the accountant’s independence. The Audit Committee also is required to preapprove non-audit services performed by the Funds' independent accountant for the Funds' investment adviser, and certain of the adviser's affiliates that provide ongoing services to the Funds, if the services to be provided by the accountant relate directly to the operations and financial reporting of the Funds. The preapproval of these services also is intended to assure that the provision of the services does not impair the accountant's independence.

Unless a type of service to be provided by the independent accountant has received preapproval, it will require separate preapproval by the Audit Committee. Also, any proposed services exceeding preapproved cost levels will require separate preapproval by the Audit Committee. When considering services for preapproval the Audit Committee will take into account such matters as it deems appropriate or advisable, including applicable rules regarding auditor independence.

The appendices to this Policy describe the Audit, Audit-related, Tax and All Other services for the Funds, that have the preapproval of the Audit Committee. The term of any preapproval is 12 months from the date of preapproval, unless the Audit Committee specifically provides for a different period. The Audit Committee will periodically revise the list of preapproved services based on subsequent determinations.

Notwithstanding any provision of this Policy, the Audit Committee is not required to preapprove services for which preapproval is not required by applicable law, including de minimis and grandfathered services.

2.    Delegation

The Audit Committee may delegate preapproval authority to one or more of its members. The member or members to whom such authority is delegated shall report any preapproval decisions to the Audit Committee at its next scheduled meeting. By adopting this Policy the Audit Committee does not delegate to management the Audit Committee’s responsibilities to preapprove services performed by the independent auditor.

2




3.    Audit Services

The annual Audit services engagement terms and fees for the Funds will be subject to the preapproval of the Audit Committee. The Audit Committee will approve, if necessary, any changes in terms, conditions and fees resulting from changes in audit scope or other matters.

In addition to the annual Audit services engagement approved by the Audit Committee, the Audit Committee may grant preapproval for other Audit services, which are those services that only the independent accountant reasonably can provide. The Audit Committee has preapproved the Audit services listed in Appendix A. All Audit services not listed in Appendix A must be separately preapproved by the Audit Committee.

4.    Audit-Related Services

Audit-related services are assurance and related services for the Funds that are reasonably related to the performance of the audit or review of the Funds' financial statements or that are traditionally performed by the independent accountant. The Audit Committee believes that the provision of Audit-related services does not impair the independence of the accountant, and has preapproved the Audit-related services listed in Appendix B. All Audit-related services not listed in Appendix B must be separately preapproved by the Audit Committee.

5.    Tax Services

The Audit Committee believes that the independent accountant can provide Tax services to the Funds such as tax compliance, tax planning and tax advice without impairing the accountant’s independence. However, the Audit Committee will not permit the retention of the independent accountant in connection with a transaction initially recommended by the independent accountant, the purpose of which may be tax avoidance and the tax treatment of which may not be supported in the Internal Revenue Code and related regulations. The Audit Committee has preapproved the Tax services listed in Appendix C. All Tax services not listed in Appendix C must be separately preapproved by the Audit Committee.

6.    All Other Services

The Audit Committee may grant preapproval to those permissible non-audit services for the Funds classified as All Other services that it believes are routine and recurring services, and would not impair the independence of the accountant. The Audit Committee has preapproved the All Other services listed in Appendix D. Permissible All Other services not listed in Appendix D must be separately preapproved by the Audit Committee.

A list of the SEC’s prohibited non-audit services is attached to this policy as Exhibit 1. The SEC’s rules and relevant guidance should be consulted to determine the precise definitions of these services and the applicability of exceptions to certain of the prohibitions.

7.    Preapproval Fee Levels

Preapproval fee levels for all services to be provided by the independent accountant to the Funds, and applicable non-audit services to be provided by the accountant to the Funds' investment adviser and its affiliates, will be established periodically by the Audit Committee. Any proposed services exceeding these levels will require specific preapproval by the Audit Committee.

8.    Supporting Documentation

With respect to each service that is separately preapproved, the independent auditor will provide detailed back-up documentation, which will be provided to the Audit Committee, regarding the specific services to be provided.

9.    Procedures

Requests or applications to provide services that require separate approval by the Audit Committee will be submitted to the Audit Committee by both the independent accountant and the Funds' treasurer, and must include a joint statement as to whether, in their view, the request or application is consistent with the SEC’s rules on auditor independence.

Management will promptly report to the Chair of the Audit Committee any violation of this Policy of which it becomes aware.
