Letter to Shareholders

by Joseph Keefe, President

 

 

 

Dear fellow shareholders,

 

2022 was an exceptionally challenging year for global markets, and a challenging but energizing year for Impax mutual funds. Although US gross domestic product (GDP) grew at a surprisingly solid 2.9% annual rate in the fourth quarter, both equity and bond markets delivered negative returns as investors faced higher inflation, rising interest rates, heightened geopolitical tensions, supply chain disruptions and a slower outlook for growth. A market rotation away from higher quality companies and into more commodity-oriented sectors like energy created headwinds, as our funds tend to invest in higher quality securities and are fossil fuel-free.

 

As you review our portfolio managers’ report on how our funds have fared in this environment, I want to underscore why, notwithstanding volatile markets, we are optimistic about the future.

 

At Impax, we believe that short-term volatility can offer real opportunities for active management. The resulting market inefficiencies create more attractive entry points for longer-term investments, and we believe this is particularly true for Impax’s investments, which are focused on the opportunities and risks arising from the transition to a more sustainable economy.

 

For example, energy market upheaval and geopolitical tensions arising from the Russian invasion of Ukraine have underscored the risks, both political and economic, of over-dependence on fossil fuel imports. We anticipate that a defining characteristic of 2023 – aided by public policy tailwinds such as infrastructure legislation and the Inflation Reduction Act in the US – will be a significant expansion of investment in renewable electricity generation. Renewables have begun to play a major role in addressing energy costs and security issues while helping to reduce carbon emissions.

 

Few companies have been immune to rising costs, which will continue to crimp margins in the short term. Over the longer term, we believe the imperative to shift towards a more sustainable economic model creates vast opportunities for innovative businesses, irrespective of the macroeconomic picture. The healthcare sector is an example where quality companies can continue to enhance their competitive advantage through product innovation. We believe that the combination of aging populations, more stringent regulation and ever more specific diagnoses means that focused small and midsized biotech players can thrive in niches that didn’t previously exist.  

 

 

6

 

 

 

Beyond identifying investable opportunities, we continue to support our clients and contribute to the development of a sustainable society through our engagement and advocacy activity, our research, and our impact reporting.

 

Just a few examples in the last year include groundbreaking research with the University of Oxford on pricing physical climate risk, a corporate engagement campaign on women’s health and wellness in response to the Dobbs decision, and progress in our engagement with Disney on equity and inclusion – after many conversations over the course of several years, the company published pay equity data for the first time in December 2022. We also voiced our support when the SEC signaled that ESG factors could be material to investors, for both investment and proxy voting, and we continue to hone our internal tools to ensure we price each of these factors accurately and consistently.

 

You may have noticed this is the first Annual Report since the Funds’ names changed from ’Pax’ to ’Impax’ to better reflect our unified global investment approach and brand. Since all Impax-managed strategies globally apply the same investment management philosophy, process and proprietary tools, we believe that this change provides greater clarity among investors and in the marketplace.

 

To honor the history and legacy of Pax World Funds, we have created the Pax Scholarship Program to award annual scholarships to three New Hampshire-based educational and non-profit institutions promoting sustainability, advancing gender equality, and fostering global peace.

 

Despite recent challenges, we remain focused on what we believe are promising investment opportunities ahead. Over the coming decades, businesses and capital markets will be profoundly re-shaped by global sustainability challenges. Certain sectors and industries will face headwinds while others will enjoy tailwinds. Some companies will be leaders, well-positioned to potentially benefit from the sustainability transition, while laggards that fail to adjust will be left behind. Impax will continue to invest in the leaders, working on your behalf with the goal to deliver competitive investment returns while building momentum toward a more sustainable future.

 

Sincerely,

 

 

Joseph F. Keefe

 

President

Portfolio Managers’ Comments

 

 

 

Portfolio Manager
Andrew Braun

   
 

 

Portfolio Manager
Barbara Browning, CFA

 

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

 

For the one-year period ended December 31, 2022, the Institutional Class and Investor Class of the Fund had total returns of -19.77% and -19.99%, respectively, compared to -18.11% for the S&P 500 Index and -17.00% for the Lipper Large-Cap Core Funds Index.

 

What factors or portfolio holdings contributed to the Fund’s performance?

 

In 2022, the Fund posted negative returns in absolute terms and underperformed the S&P 500 Index on a relative basis, although the Fund’s negative performance was mitigated by strong stock selection in Health Care as several of the portfolio’s positions outperformed the strong relative returns of the Health Care sector. Communication Services and Information Technology were other sectors where the portfolio generated attractive stock selection, due to being underweight to the mega cap tech complex.

 

Relative performance was positive until late in February, when relative performance began to be more influenced by the macro environment, including the geopolitical events transpiring in Ukraine. The steepening of the yield curve and upward move in oil and commodity prices led to a rotation out of quality and growth and into more commodity-oriented sectors of the market such as Energy in the first half of 2022. The second half of 2022 was a tale of two quarters. We saw exuberance at the start of the third quarter, but this quickly dissipated as the Federal Reserve took action to manage inflation. This was followed by a potential bear market bounce in October and November as investors bet on central banks slowing the pace of interest rate hikes in the face of a potential recession in 2023.

 

Stocks supported by good earnings and those with good pricing power or better inflation resilience have tended to perform better over the year. Merck (Health Care), a diversified global health care company, benefited from strong results and the rotation into large cap pharmaceuticals. Merck’s diversified revenue base remains attractive, with a leading oncology business, paired with sizeable franchises in Animal Health and Vaccine categories which have been able to outgrow market expectations. Vertex Pharmaceuticals (Health Care), a drug development company,

has produced a series of strong financial results and benefitted from an improving outlook for pipeline assets, thus allowing for upgrades to earnings estimates. A better competitive outlook for its key cystic fibrosis franchise has also underpinned stock performance. T-Mobile (Communication Services) is the newly ranked number two cellular provider in the US. The stock has performed strongly in an uncertain environment. In our view, the firm’s competitive 5G position, limited exposure to inflation, and defensive business model should provide management with the flexibility to execute on a significant share repurchase program over the next 36 months.

 

What factors or portfolio holdings detracted from the Fund’s performance?

 

As mentioned above, US stocks in general were down for the year as investors adjusted to the end of quantitative easing, persistent inflation, heightened geo-political tensions, and a slower outlook for growth. Market volatility has been pronounced as investors weigh slower economic momentum against central bank actions to contain inflation.

 

The S&P 500 Energy sector saw its best return in the last 33 years, and as a result, the Fund’s lack of an Energy allocation was the largest detractor of returns, offsetting the benefits of positive stock selection. Stock selection was most challenged in Materials, Industrials, and Financials. In particular, the portfolio’s growth-oriented Materials and Industrials holdings struggled as investors rotated to cheaper stocks with more commodity exposure.

 

Market rotation away from Covid-19 beneficiaries and richly valued growth and quality names were among the biggest headwinds for performance. Stanley Black and Decker (Industrials), a manufacturer of hand and power tools, had disappointing results in the second quarter, and a significant negative revision, rebasing earnings as the company announced a major restructuring program to reduce inventories, take out layers of management, and reduce manufacturing complexity. The team sold out of the position over a lack of conviction in the new CEO. Lincoln National Corp (Financials) announced a significant GAAP charge to cover changes related to decreasing numbers of older policy holders dropping coverage. This has impacted the balance sheet, expectations on the buyback program, as well as base case revenue. The team exited the position as the expectations for the company have deteriorated as a result. Aptiv (Consumer Discretionary) has faced headwinds during the year due to continued supply chain issues and higher interest rates leading to ongoing reductions in market estimates for global automotive growth. However, the company recently announced quarterly earnings highlighting continued growth in vehicle content from the transition towards electric cars, while supply chain headwinds that have inhibited

auto production this year are beginning to abate. The investment team regards the company as a key beneficiary of electrification and automation of vehicles. Despite the share price weakness, the Investment Team maintains conviction in Aptiv as a key beneficiary of electrification and automation of vehicles.

Relative performance was positive to begin the year, until late in February when the macroeconomic environment – including the war in Ukraine – weighed on performance. The steepening of the yield curve and an upward move in oil and commodity prices led to a rotation out of quality and growth and into more commodity-oriented sectors of the market such as Energy in the first half of 2022. The second half of 2022 was a tale of two quarters. We saw exuberance at the start of the third quarter, but this quickly dissipated as the Fed aggressively raised rates to fight inflation. This was followed by a potential bear market bounce in October and November as investors bet on central banks slowing the pace of interest rate hikes in the face of a potential recession in 2023.

 

The top contributors for the year were stock specific. Natus Medical (Health Care) is a neuro and newborn focused medical device company which was acquired by ArchiMed Group for a 29% premium. Karuna Therapeutics (Health Care) is a biotechnology company that develops therapies for the treatment of chronic mental health disorders. The company had positive clinical data for its schizophrenia drug in 2022. We believe that the significant unmet clinical need and better safety profile suggests this drug could have a multi-billion-dollar revenue potential. The team

exited the position during the period due to catalyst realization and valuation. The company was sold during the period after the share price reacted favorably to this announcement and reached the team’s intrinsic value estimate.

 

What factors or portfolio holdings detracted from the Fund’s performance?

 

As noted above, the portfolio’s performance was broadly down for the year as investors adjusted to the end of quantitative easing, persistent inflation, heightened geo-political tensions, and a slower outlook for growth. Market volatility has been pronounced as investors weigh slower economic momentum against central bank actions to contain inflation.

 

Energy was the only sector that delivered positive returns in the Russell 2000, as the sector saw one of its best returns in the last 25 years. The fossil fuel-free portfolio’s structural underweight to Energy and Utilities was a large detractor and offset the positive stock selection the team was able to generate for the year. Stock selection was weakest in Industrials and Financials.

 

Health Care names dominated the bottom contributors as the market rotated away from Covid-19 beneficiaries and names reliant on the biotech funding cycle. Health Catalyst (Health Care) lowered guidance as its core customers (hospitals and medical providers) are facing a difficult environment. Management has refocused on tangible return on investment (ROI) products, which gave our investment team the confidence to maintain and increase the position given the discounted valuation. Omnicell (Health Care) – a healthcare IT company – cited deteriorating financial health from large hospital systems and nurse staffing issues as they largely reset medium term growth targets. The stock was sold in the fourth quarter as fundamentals deteriorated.

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

 

For the one-year period ended December 31, 2022, the Fund’s Investor Class, Class A, and Institutional Class shares had total returns of -18.25%, -18.24% and -18.01%, respectively, compared to -19.13% for the Russell 1000 Index and -17.99% for the Lipper Multi-Cap Core Funds Index.

 

What factors or portfolio holdings contributed to the Fund’s performance?

 

In calendar year 2022, the Fund outperformed the Russell 1000 Index. Although US Large Cap Stocks were down in 2022, the portfolio’s avoidance of stocks with low environmental, social, and governance (ESG) ratings, as determined by the Impax Systematic ESG Rating, was the key driver of outperformance for the reporting period.

 

The Fund is overweight to companies with favorable Impax Systematic ESG Ratings, relative to their sector and industry peers. Not owning companies with poor Systematic ESG scores, most notably Tesla and Meta, was additive to performance as those companies struggled in 2022.

 

The Fund’s underweight to Amazon, a company that also endured a challenging year, as well as its security selection within Healthcare and Insurance helped performance. MetLife (Insurance) and Bristol-Myers Squibb (Healthcare) were standout performers and contributed positively to performance over the reporting period.

 

What factors or portfolio holdings detracted from the Fund’s performance?

 

The portfolio’s underweight to industries that we consider higher risk, extractive sub-industries, as determined by the Impax Sustainability Lens1 was a large detractor to Fund performance. The Impax Sustainability Lens is a proprietary tool that helps the portfolio managers systematically overweight the portfolio toward sub-industries we identify as high opportunity in the context of the transition to a more sustainable economy, while removing exposure to sub-industries classified as low opportunity and high risk.

Additionally, the Fund’s lack of energy exposure, due to its fossil fuel-free profile, negatively impacted performance during the reporting period. The Energy sector performed well throughout the year and produced outsized returns, relative to other sectors. The Fund’s avoidance of traditional energy companies and subsequently, not owning large, diversified oil names, including ExxonMobil and Chevron, hurt performance.

 

Finally, while the portfolio’s overweight to companies with the highest ESG scores (ESG leaders), as determined by Impax Systematic ESG Rating, was a positive contributor to overall Fund performance, one of the portfolio’s ESG leaders, NVDIA, significantly underperformed during the reporting period. NVDIA, an industry leading semiconductor company that maintains a high ESG score as determined by the Systematic ESG Rating, was among the worst performers in the Russell 1000 Index.

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

 

For the one-year period ended December 31, 2022, the Fund’s Institutional Class and Investor Class shares had total returns of -13.25% and -13.44%, respectively, compared to -9.04% for the FTSE Global Infrastructure Opportunities Index (FTSE IO) and -18.36% for the MSCI ACWI, -0.99% for the S&P Global Infrastructure Index and -6.80% for the Lipper Global Infrastructure Funds Index.

 

Effective November 15, 2022, the FTSE IO, a measure of traditional infrastructure performance, replaced the S&P Global Infrastructure Index as the primary benchmark for the Fund. As part of this change, the MSCI ACWI became the Fund’s secondary benchmark for a broad global market comparison.

 

What factors or portfolio holdings contributed to the Fund’s performance?

 

2022 was an exceptionally challenging year for global equities as higher inflation, rising interest rates and slower economic growth negatively impacted investor sentiment. The Fund’s underperformance relative to the FTSE IO was largely due to its avoidance of companies that fall outside of the sustainable infrastructure universe. Companies that fall outside of the Fund’s investment universe are generally more resource and carbon intensive.

 

The portfolio follows a sustainable investing approach, investing in companies that are representative of infrastructure essential for the transition to a more sustainable economy, while retaining the broad characteristics that investors expect from an infrastructure portfolio, high yields and defensive characteristics.

 

Impax classifies sustainable infrastructure into two broad categories:

 

 

1.

Resource Infrastructure includes New Energy, Water, Waste & Resource Efficiency, and Food and Agriculture sub sectors.

 

 

2.

Social and Economic Infrastructure which includes Communications & Data, Buildings & Facilities, Transportation, Healthcare, Education, and Finance sub sectors.

 

 

21

 

 

 

December 31, 2022

Impax Global Sustainable Infrastructure Fund, continued

 

Although the Fund underperformed its primary benchmark during the reporting period, the Fund’s underperformance was mitigated by a few factors. Within Resource Infrastructure, Resource Efficiency & Waste Management, companies were positive contributors to the Fund’s relative performance. Ashtead and United Rentals, equipment rental companies, were standout performers during the year. Additionally, outperformance from Brambles, a provider of pallet and plastic container pooling services, helped performance.

 

Within Social and Economic Infrastructure, strong performance from Cigna benefitted the portfolio. Additionally, outperformance from railroad holdings, Union Pacific and MTR, was a boost to performance.

 

What factors or portfolio holdings detracted from the Fund’s performance?

 

The primary detractor to performance relative to the FTSE IO was the lack of exposure to companies that fall outside of the sustainable infrastructure universe. The portfolio’s avoidance of sectors that outperformed the broader market, such as traditional utility and steel companies, negatively impacted performance.

 

Within Resource Infrastructure, the portfolio suffered from its allocation to Water holdings, as water utility holdings (Veolia and Pennon) as well as water distribution holdings (Advanced Drainage) sold off in 2022.

 

Within the Social and Economic Infrastructure category, Communications & Data exposure detracted during the period, weighed down by Communication Services. Efficient IT exposure also detracted, given underperformance from Taiwan Semiconductor.

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

 

For the one-year period ended December 31, 2022, the Fund’s Institutional Class and Investor Class shares had total returns of -18.49% and -18.66%, respectively, compared to -18.36% for the MSCI All-Country World (Net) Index (“MSCI ACWI”) and -28.63% for the Lipper Global Multi-Cap Growth Funds Index.

 

What factors or portfolio holdings contributed to the Fund’s performance?

 

For the year ended December 31, 2022, the Fund was down in absolute terms, although the Fund’s negative performance was mitigated by a few factors. As the year progressed and investors focused more on the increasing risk of recession, investor appetite for companies with more predictable earnings and higher quality characteristics increased. We believe this helped the Fund to gain back some relative performance.

 

The Fund benefited from strong stock selection in Information Technology and Communications Services, where the portfolio’s lack of exposure to mega-cap technology companies helped on a relative basis. The sector allocation effect was positive overall, as the benefits from being underweight to Communication Services and Consumer Discretionary offset the drag from the lack of exposure to Energy.

 

Stocks supported by good earnings and those with good pricing power or better inflation resilience have tended to perform better over the year. Vertex Pharmaceuticals (Biotechnology, US), a drug development company, has produced a series of strong financial results and benefitted from an improving outlook for pipeline assets, thus allowing for upgrades to earnings estimates. A better competitive outlook for its key cystic fibrosis franchise has also underpinned stock performance. AIA (Life & Health Insurance, Hong Kong) has benefited from the relaxation of Covid-19 related mobility restrictions in China as the potential re-opening of the HK-China border allows for a more positive outlook on the value of new business growth. While the stock has experienced some volatility, the company has produced good results relative to peers and management remains focused on key targets such as mainland China expansion. The company also announced a well-received share buy-back earlier in the year, demonstrating, in our view, the firm’s resilience and balance sheet strength.

December 31, 2022

Impax Global Opportunities Fund, continued

 

Finally, Hannover Reuck (Reinsurance, Germany) has benefitted from better sentiment towards the reinsurance market as investors anticipated a shift in the balance of power between primary insurers and reinsurers would lead to a strong pricing environment going into next year. This stronger pricing was realised at the start of 2023, and we believe this positions the company for strong earnings in years to come.

 

What factors or portfolio holdings detracted from the Fund’s performance?

 

Global stock markets have fallen as investors adjusted to the end of quantitative easing, persistent inflation, heightened geo-political tensions, and a slower outlook for global growth. Market volatility has been pronounced as investors weigh slower economic momentum against central bank actions to contain inflation.

 

On a relative basis the Fund slightly underperformed the MSCI All Country World Index. Relative performance was negatively impacted at the start of the year by the steepening yield curve and upward move in oil and commodity prices which led to a dramatic rotation out of quality and growth and into more value-oriented sectors of the market such as Energy. The portfolio has no exposure to Energy, and this has been a significant detractor to the Fund’s performance on a relative basis over the year.

 

Stock selection has been negative, particularly within the Materials and Health Care sectors where there has been a reversal of last year’s stronger performance. Health Care companies have been impacted by a combination of factors, including worsening sentiment towards indebted companies, concerns of a slowdown in biotech funding and valuation compression.

 

Market rotation away from Covid-19 beneficiaries and richly valued growth and quality names were among the biggest headwinds to performance. Evotec (Life Sciences Tools & Services, Germany) suffered from the market rotation away from highly valued growth orientated stocks and news that milestone payments would be less than expected following the decision by partner Bayer AG to return the rights to one of Evotec’s development assets. Recent results, which were below expectations, have left the market nervous about Evotec’s ability to meet unchanged full year estimates. Koninklijke DSM (Speciality Chemicals, Netherlands) has been hit by worsening sentiment towards the European chemicals sector, despite the company’s very high nutrition ingredients franchise. More recently the company sold off ahead of an earnings disappointment driven by higher raw material prices. The investment team remains positive on the stock as we believe Koninklijke DSM has a strong balance sheet and the proposed merger with Firmenich will move the company forward in its transformation towards a pure consumer and animal nutrition ingredients company. Aptiv (Auto Parts & Equipment, US) has faced headwinds during the year due to

 

 

26

continued supply chain issues and higher interest rates leading to ongoing reductions in market estimates for global automotive growth. However, the company recently announced quarterly earnings highlighting continued growth in vehicle content from the transition towards electric cars, while supply chain headwinds that have inhibited auto production this year are beginning to abate. The investment team regards the company as a key beneficiary of electrification and automation of vehicles.

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

 

For the one-year period ended December 31, 2022, the Investor Class, Class A, and Institutional Class of the Fund had total returns of -22.62%, -22.58%, and -22.39%, respectively, versus -18.36% for the MSCI All-Country World (Net) Index (“MSCI ACWI”) and -24.10% for the FTSE Environmental Opportunities Index Series (“FTSE EOAS”).

 

What factors or portfolio holdings contributed to the Fund’s performance?

 

The Fund underperformed during the reporting period, as concerns over inflation, rising interest rates and slowing economic growth negatively impacted performance. Although the Fund underperformed, the following companies were notable contributors and helped to offset drags to performance.

 

Hubbell (Smart & Efficient Grids, US) performed well over the balance of 2022. The company provided strong operational results, with their utility segment seeing a pick-up in demand, reflective of ongoing grid modernization initiatives and trends toward renewable energy. The company has also benefitted from industrial and residential end market demand. Elevated crop prices and low dealer inventories has supported persistently healthy demand for Deere (Technology & Logistics, US). Deere continued to overcome supply chain challenges and higher production costs with strong top line growth and pricing power to deliver strong financial results in 2022. This was underscored in the Q4 earnings release with EPS and revenue coming in above expectations. Fiscal year 2023 guidance was raised with expectations for another year of supportive farm fundamentals with increased pricing power and margin expansion.

 

United Rentals (Resource Circularity & Efficiency, US) delivered strong results operationally throughout 2022, which demonstrated the resilience of equipment rental demand in the US, driven by a range of factors including rising appreciation

of the benefits of rental vs. ownership, continued appetite for equipment to automate processes amid labor shortages, and the commencement of substantial infrastructure projects as part of the Inflation Reduction Act in the US.

 

What factors or portfolio holdings detracted from the Fund’s performance?

 

The portfolio’s bias to high quality growth exposure, and the market rotation away from quality and growth into value was a headwind during the year. Digital Infrastructure exposure was a leading detractor, as supply chain constraints, Covid-19 lockdowns in China, and weakening end market demand concerns led to underperformance for semiconductor holdings. Underperformance from holdings within Water Infrastructure & Technologies and Sustainable Food & Agriculture was a headwind to performance as well.

 

Royal DSM (Sustainable Agriculture, Netherlands) has been impacted by worsening sentiment towards the European chemicals sector, despite the company’s very high nutrition ingredients franchise. More recently the company sold off ahead of an earnings disappointment driven by higher raw material prices. The investment team remains positive on the stock as the company has a strong balance sheet and the proposed merger with Firmenich will move the company forward in its transformation towards a pure consumer and animal nutrition ingredients company.

 

MediaTek (Efficient IT, Taiwan) underperformed as the semiconductor industry was out of favor for much of 2022. MediaTek, along with other companies in the sector, suffered from production bottlenecks, revenue shortfalls associated with Covid-19 lockdowns in China, fears of slowing demand, and regulatory risk.

 

The share price of Ansys (Efficient IT, US) sold off in 2022 as the broader market rotation from growth and quality into value, as well as rising rate and recession concerns, created weakness for the software sector. Despite the underperformance, Ansys is trading at an attractive valuation and we believe it has a strong outlook for demand growth. The company’s industrial technology software provides cost, time, energy, and resource savings, tapping into demand from autonomous vehicle, electrification, industrial Internet of things (IoT), and 5G growth.

Impax Ellevate Global Women’s Leadership Fund

 

 

 

Portfolio Manager

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

 

For the one-year period ended December 31, 2022, the Investor and Institutional Class had total returns of –19.98% and –19.76%, respectively, compared to –20.57% for the Impax Global Women’s Leadership Index (Women’s Index), -18.14% for the MSCI World (Net) Index (World Index) and -17.88% for the Lipper Global Multi-Cap Core Funds Index.

 

What factors or portfolio holdings contributed to the Fund’s performance?

 

The Fund underperformed the World Index in calendar year 2022. Global developed market stocks endured a challenging year performance wise, and the Fund’s sector allocation was a headwind to performance, driven by the portfolio’s lack of exposure to the Energy sector.

 

Although the Fund underperformed during the reporting period, the Fund’s underperformance was mitigated by a few factors. The portfolio’s high conviction overweight to the highest rated gender leadership companies (gender leaders), as determined by the Impax Gender Score, was additive to performance. Gender leadership companies outperformed the World Index. The lowest rated gender leadership companies (gender laggards), as determined by the Impax Gender Score, underperformed the World Index, and the portfolio’s avoidance of those companies also contributed positively to performance. Additionally, not owing Tesla, a company in the bottom 25% of the MSCI World Index from a gender diversity perspective, was down significantly during the reporting period and the portfolio’s avoidance of this company was a boost to performance. Overweight positions in gender leadership companies, as determined by the Impax Gender Score, like, Ulta Beauty and Omnicom Group, also contributed positively to Fund performance.

 

What factors or portfolio holdings detracted from the Fund’s performance?

 

The Fund’s lack of energy exposure, due to its fossil fuel-free profile, was a key detractor to performance during the reporting period. The Energy sector had its best year for performance in the last three decades and produced outsized returns relative to other sectors. The Fund’s avoidance of traditional energy companies and subsequently, not owning ExxonMobil, which was one of the top performing stocks

in the World Index last year, hurt performance. While the portfolio’s overweight to gender leadership companies was additive to performance overall during the reporting period, two of the portfolio’s gender leaders, Koninklijke DSM N.V. and Amazon, detracted from performance. Both companies underperformed following a long period of outperformance for growth stocks.

Portfolio Manager

Portfolio Manager

How did the Impax International Sustainable Economy Fund (the Fund) perform for the period?

 

For the one-year period ended December 31, 2022, the Institutional Class and Investor Class had total returns of -17.80% and -18.00%, respectively, compared to -14.45% for the MSCI EAFE (Net) Index (EAFE Index), -16.99% for the MSCI EAFE ESG Leaders (Net) Index and -13.45% for the Lipper International Large-Cap Core Funds Index.

 

What factors or portfolio holdings contributed to the Fund’s performance?

 

The Fund underperformed the EAFE Index in calendar year 2022. International developed market stocks endured a challenging year performance wise, and the Fund’s sector allocation was a headwind to performance, primarily driven by the portfolio’s exposure to sub-industries and companies rated favorably by the Impax Sustainability Lens1, as well as the outperformance of several sub-industries we consider to be high risk and generally avoid investing in.

 

Although the Fund underperformed during the reporting period, the Fund’s underperformance was mitigated by a few factors. During the reporting period, the portfolio’s overweight towards higher opportunity sub-industries as identified by Impax Sustainability Lens, like Pharmaceuticals, was the largest contributor to performance. Within Pharmaceuticals, performance was led by AstraZeneca and Novo Nordisk. Insurance and reinsurance sub-industries also performed well, with Dai-ichi Life and Swiss Re significantly outperforming the EAFE Index during the reporting period.

 

What factors or portfolio holdings detracted from the Fund’s performance?

 

The portfolio’s underweight to sub-industries that we consider higher risk as determined by the Impax Sustainability Lens, including extractive sub-industries, was a large detractor to Fund performance.

 

 

38

 

 

 

December 31, 2022

 

 

Additionally, the Fund’s lack of energy exposure, due to its fossil fuel-free profile, negatively impacted performance during the reporting period. The Energy sector performed well throughout the year and produced outsized returns relative to other sectors. The Fund’s avoidance of traditional energy companies including Shell, Total, and BP, hurt performance.

 

Finally, while the portfolio’s overweight to companies with the highest ESG scores (ESG leaders), as determined by MSCI ESG Quality Score, was a positive contributor to overall Fund performance, one of the portfolio’s ESG leaders, ASML Holding, significantly underperformed during the reporting period. ASML Holding, a semiconductor equipment company that maintains a high ESG score as determined by MSCI ESG Quality Score, was among the worst performers in the EAFE Index, and the portfolio’s overweight to ASML was a drag on performance.

The portfolio integrates the Impax Sustainability Lens, a proprietary tool that helps the adviser systematically overweight the portfolio toward sub-industries we identify as high opportunity in the context of the transition to a more sustainable economy while removing exposure to sub-industries classified as low opportunity and high risk.

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

Impax Core Bond Fund

 

 

 

Portfolio Manager
Tony Trzcinka,
CFA

 

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

 

For the one-year period ended December 31, 2022, the Institutional Class and Investor Class shares of the Fund had total returns of -12.94% and -13.16%, respectively, compared to -13.01% for the Bloomberg US Aggregate Bond Index and -13.39% for the Lipper Core Bond Funds Index.

 

What factors or portfolio holdings contributed to the Fund’s performance?

 

While the Fund’s performance was generally in-line with benchmark performance, the areas of underperformance were mitigated by a few factors, including positive performance across the Corporate Bonds, Government Related and Asset Backed Securities (ABS) asset classes.

 

Most government-related holdings are short dated, including the highly rated Supranationals. Shorter maturity issues from the European Investment Bank, World Bank Group and Inter-American Development Bank were impacted far less by rising rates and widening spreads than other securities during the period, which contributed positively to the Fund’s performance.

 

ABS holdings also benefited from a shorter duration. ABS was one of the few sectors that had a positive excess return during the reporting period. Like Supranationals, these securities were less impacted by rising rates on a relative basis.

 

Within Corporate Bonds, security selection drove outperformance, led by securities within the Information Technology and Financial sectors. Issues like Hewlett Packard Enterprise Company, Analog Devices, NetApp and Microsoft were standout performers within this asset class.

 

Lastly, despite a rise in energy prices during the year, the portfolio’s lack of exposure to the Energy sector was a positive contributor to performance. The energy sector has a higher duration than the benchmark and holds many long term (20-year, 30-year) bonds, which were hurt by rising interest rates. The higher duration coupled with bonds that mature out, negatively impacted the energy sector’s performance and resulted in a boost to performance for the Fund.

 

What factors or portfolio holdings detracted from the Fund’s performance?

 

Detractors included the Fund’s Treasury positioning, long-dated Investment Grade Corporates and a few High Yield securities.

Treasuries outperformed the benchmark because, unlike other credit sectors which experienced high rates, they did not experience spread widening. The Fund’s underweight positioning to this asset class detracted from performance.

 

Within Corporates, long-dated Investment Grade issuers and High Yield Issuers were among the largest detractors to performance. Specifically, long-dated holdings such as Starbucks 4.45% 2049, Ford 3.25% 2032 and Altice Holdings 10.5% 2027, were the largest detractors.

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

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

 

For the one-year period ended December 31, 2022, the Investor Class, Class A, and Institutional Class shares of the Fund had total returns of -12.89%, -12.99%, and -12.72% respectively, compared to -10.59% for the ICE BofA Merrill Lynch U.S. High Yield—Cash Pay—BB-B (Constrained 2%) Index (the Index) and -10.28% for the Lipper High Yield Bond Funds Index.

 

What factors or portfolio holdings contributed to the Fund’s performance?

 

Although the Fund underperformed during the reporting period, the Fund’s underperformance was partially offset by a few factors. Positive selection in the Consumer Goods, Retail and Transportation sectors contributed to performance during the year. In Consumer Goods, food manufacturers Del Monte and Whole Earth Brands performed well. In Retail, supermarket Southeastern Grocers outperformed and in Transportation, selection of United and Delta frequent flier airline miles securitizations also buoyed results.

 

In terms of sector allocation, the Portfolio Managers found several companies in the Services sector that are well positioned for the transition to a sustainable economy. The overweight to this sector contributed to performance as did a lack of exposure to the Banking sector. Banking is a relatively small sector and mostly populated with junior capital from European banks that underperformed this year.

 

Lastly, the Fund benefited from a merger and acquisition event which resulted in material outperformance in the bonds of auto & truck supplier Meritor Inc., which was purchased by Cummins, Inc.

 

What factors or portfolio holdings detracted from the Fund’s performance?

 

The majority of the Fund’s underperformance was driven by negative credit selection in the Media, Technology and Capital Goods sectors. In Media, Cable TV exposure weighed heavily as both Altice USA and VTR (a Chilean company) underperformed on competitive challenges. In Technology, several lower rated companies performed poorly. Cision Ltd. underperformed due to secular headwinds

requiring material re-investment, and Rackspace detracted as they are undergoing a strategic review. Finally, in Capital Goods, global beverage packaging company Ardagh came under pressure given their high leverage profile.

 

The portfolio’s defensive characteristics did not hold during a period of rapidly rising interest rates and unilateral widening of credit spreads. Several defensive sectors of focus for the Portfolio Managers carry higher duration risk, which proved to be a headwind. The team’s selective approach to lower-rated and shorter-dated CCC names underperformed as investors de-risked with minimal differentiation.

 

The Fund’s exposure to CCC-rated companies, which underperformed relative to BB and B-rated companies detracted. The Fund’s approximate 9% weighting in this segment of the market hurt performance as the market reduced exposure aggressively, showing little regard for company-specific fundamentals.

 

Sector allocation was a headwind due to the relative outperformance of the Energy sector for the second year. High energy prices have buoyed this sector, which would, in our view, normally underperform in difficult market conditions. An underweight in the Leisure sector was also a headwind for the period. Many sub-sectors like Gaming, Lodging and Cruise Lines performed well as they normalized post-COVID.

 

The Portfolio Managers’ approach has remained consistent, emphasizing sectors that are aligned with the transition to a more sustainable economy, and selecting companies that are best positioned to capture the opportunities arising from that transition. The team continues to de-emphasize sectors and companies that are less likely to thrive in this new, more circular economy. From a sector perspective, recent market conditions have been a headwind for this long-term investment approach, but the Portfolio Managers have strong conviction about the secular changes underway and will continue to position the portfolio to capture opportunities related to those changes.

How did the Impax Sustainable Allocation Fund (the Fund) perform for the period?

 

For the one-year period ended December 31, 2022, the Investor Class and Institutional Class shares of the Fund had total returns of -16.42% and -16.22%, respectively, compared to -18.11% for the S&P 500 Index, -15.79% for the 60% S&P 500/40% Bloomberg US Aggregate Bond Index blend (the Blended Index), and -13.64% for the Morningstar Allocation – 50% to 70% Equity category average.

 

Effective November 15, 2022, Kirsteen Morrison was added to the Portfolio Management team of the Fund, alongside Andy Braun, Peter Schwab, Nathan Moser and Tony Trzcinka.

 

What factors or portfolio holdings contributed to the Fund’s performance?

 

2022 was an exceptionally hard year for multi-asset investors, as both equity and bond markets delivered negative returns. Throughout the year, equity and bond markets were challenged as investors adjusted to persistent levels of inflation, central bank activity, rising interest rates, heightened geopolitical tensions, and a slower outlook for growth.

 

Although the Fund underperformed during the reporting period, the Fund’s underperformance was mitigated by its allocations to international equities, sustainable infrastructure equities and cash.

 

The Fund’s allocation to international equities, through its exposure to non-US securities in four of the underlying strategies (Impax Global Environmental Markets Fund, Impax Global Opportunities Fund, Impax Ellevate Global Women’s Leadership Fund and Impax International Sustainable Economy Fund), contributed positively to

relative performance, as non-US equities significantly outperformed US equities in 2022, as measured by the MSCI EAFE Index and the S&P 500 Index, which returned -14.45% and -18.11%, respectively.

 

The Fund’s allocation to Impax Global Sustainable Infrastructure Fund was also a boost to performance. The Global Sustainable Infrastructure Fund’s more defensive characteristics, including a significant weight in the Utilities sector, dividend yield and a low beta1, helped to mitigate some of the losses within the Sustainable Allocation Fund’s overall equity allocation.

 

Additionally, the portfolio’s cash allocation contributed to performance, in a year where both equity and bond markets had negative returns.

 

What factors or portfolio holdings detracted from the Fund’s performance?

 

The Fund’s largest detractor to performance was primarily due to the fossil fuel-free nature of its holdings, in a year when Energy outperformed other sectors. Impax Large Cap Fund, the Fund’s largest equity holding, and Impax International Sustainable Economy Fund both weighed notably on performance. These Funds underperformed their respective benchmarks, largely due to sector allocation and the lack of Energy exposure mentioned above.

 

The possibility of a recession in 2023 remains, as expectations around peak inflation and related central bank policy decisions continue to dominate investors’ thinking. In our view, sustained deterioration of earnings expectations and higher discount rates will likely provide a challenging environment in the short term. Despite the unpredictable outlook, we continue to believe that companies with long-term structural growth opportunities and innovative solutions will present attractive investment opportunities. Additionally, we’ve seen supportive policies broadly related to sustainability gaining traction globally, and we believe that higher energy prices and a renewed focus on energy security will support opportunities across a wide range of sustainable solutions. The Fund remains focused on managing risk, and the investment managers for its underlying strategies remain focused on finding companies with strong pricing protection and attractive valuations that we believe are aligned to benefit from the transition to a more sustainable economy.

Shareholder Expense Examples (Unaudited)

 

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

 

The examples are based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period beginning on July 1, 2022 and ending on December 31, 2022.

 

Please note that Individual Retirement Account (IRA), Coverdell Education Savings, Roth IRA, SEP-IRA, SIMPLE IRA, and 403(b)(7) accounts are charged an annual custodial fee of twenty dollars. If you are invested in one of these account types, you should add an additional $10.00 to the estimated expenses paid during the period.

 

Actual Expenses For each Fund, the first table on the next page provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this table, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. For the Fund, simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.

 

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

 

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

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

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

Impax Funds Series Trust I and Impax Funds Series Trust III

 

NOTE A—Organization and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

 

 

Organization Impax Funds Series Trust I (“Trust I”), which is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), is an open-end management investment company organized under the laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts on May 25, 2006. As of December 31, 2022, Trust I offered ten investment funds: Impax Large Cap Fund (the “Large Cap Fund”), Impax Small Cap Fund (the “Small Cap Fund”), Impax US Sustainable Economy Fund (the “US Sustainable Economy Fund”, Impax Global Sustainable Infrastructure Fund (the “Global Sustainable Infrastructure Fund”, Impax Global Opportunities Fund (the “Global Opportunities Fund”), Impax Global Environmental Markets Fund (the “Global Environmental Markets Fund”), Impax International Sustainable Economy Fund (the “International Sustainable Economy Fund”), Impax Core Bond Fund (the “Core Bond Fund”), Impax High Yield Bond Fund (the “High Yield Bond Fund”), and Impax Sustainable Allocation Fund (the “Sustainable Allocation Fund”).

 

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

 

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

 

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

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

Accounting Estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The Funds apply Investment Company accounting and reporting guidance.

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

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

 

The Funds may determine that market quotations are not readily available due to events relating to a single issuer (e.g., corporate actions or announcements) or events relating to multiple issuers (e.g., governmental actions or natural disasters). The Funds may determine the fair value of investments based on information provided by pricing services and other third-party vendors, which may recommend fair value prices or adjustments with reference to other securities, indices or assets. In considering whether fair value pricing is required and in determining fair values, the Funds may, among other things, consider significant events (which may be considered to include changes in the value of U.S. securities or securities indices) that occur after the close of the relevant market and the usual time of valuation. At December 31, 2022, three securities were fair valued in good faith pursuant to policies and procedures approved by the Boards of Trustees. The Core Bond Fund held one security fair valued at $454,521, representing 0.06% of the Fund’s net asset value and the High Yield Bond Fund held three securities fair valued at $671,055, representing 0.11% of the Fund’s net asset value.

 

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

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

 

 

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

 

 

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

 

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

Fixed Income Securities Fixed income securities, including Corporate Bonds (both investment-grade and high-yield), U.S. Treasury Obligations, Government Bonds, Mortgage-Backed and Asset-Backed Securities, Bank Loans and Municipal Bonds, are valued at evaluated prices received from independent pricing services, which are evaluated using various inputs and techniques which may include trade activity, broker-dealer quotes, yield curves, coupon rates, default rates, cash flows, models and other inputs, and are generally categorized as Level 2 in the hierarchy. To the extent that inputs for fixed income securities are unobservable, values are categorized as Level 3 in the hierarchy.

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

 

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

Table includes securities valued at zero.

 

See Schedules of Investments for additional detailed industry classifications.

 

Significant unobservable inputs were used by two Funds for Level 3 fair value measurements. The High Yield Bond Fund holds two securities of the same issuer which are deemed to be valued at zero based on company financial statements, and one security based on broker valuation levels. The Core Bond Fund and High Yield Bond Fund each hold a position in the same promissory note and community investment note, which are both valued a par.

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

Federal Income Taxes Each of the Funds has elected to be treated and intends to qualify each year as a regulated investment company under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. If a Fund so qualifies and satisfies

 

 

143

 

 

 

December 31, 2022

Notes to Financial Statements, continued

 

certain distribution requirements, such Fund will ordinarily not be subject to federal income tax on its net investment income (which includes short-term capital gains) and net capital gains that it distributes to shareholders. Each Fund expects to distribute all or substantially all of its income and gains to shareholders every year. Therefore, no federal income or excise tax provision is required. The Funds are treated as separate entities for federal income tax purposes.

 

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

 

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

 

Securities Lending The Funds may lend their securities pursuant to a securities lending agreement (Lending Agreement) with State Street Bank and Trust Company. Initial security loans made pursuant to the Lending Agreement are required to be secured by collateral not less than the percentage specified in the agreement, ranging from 102% to 105%, depending on the types of securities. Cash collateral received is invested in the State Street Navigator Securities Lending Government Money Market Portfolio, a registered Rule 2a-7 money market fund. Borrowers may also pledge non-cash collateral within the guidelines for acceptable forms of non-cash collateral approved by the Boards of Trustees. At December 31, 2022, non-cash collateral consisted of U.S. Treasuries, short-term U.S. Government agency obligations and sovereign debt.

 

 

144

 

 

 

December 31, 2022

 

 

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

 

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

 

As of December 31, 2022, the value of securities loaned, payable for collateral due to brokers and non-cash collateral pledged by brokers were as follows:

Netting Agreements During the ordinary course of business, the Funds may enter into transactions subject to enforceable netting agreements or other similar arrangements (“netting agreements”). Generally, the right to offset in netting agreements allows a Fund to offset any exposure to a specific counterparty with any collateral received or delivered to that counterparty based on the terms of the agreement. Generally, a Fund manages its cash collateral and securities collateral on a counterparty basis. As of December 31, 2022, there is no collateral held at the counterparty that would be offset by a master netting agreement that the Funds have with the counterparty. The Funds did not hold any derivative instruments as of December 31, 2022.

 

Affiliated Investments The term “affiliated company” includes other investment companies that are managed by a Fund’s Adviser. At December 31, 2022, the Sustainable Allocation Fund held the following investments in affiliated Funds:

Notes to Financial Statements, continued

 

The Funds are permitted to purchase and sell securities (“cross-trade”) from and to other Funds within the Trusts or other accounts managed by the Adviser pursuant to “Cross-Trading” Procedures adopted by the Trusts’ Boards of Trustees. These procedures have been designed to ensure that any cross-trade of securities by the respective Fund from or to another Fund or account that is or could be considered an affiliate of the Fund under certain limited circumstances by virtue of having a common investment adviser complies with Rule 17a-7 of the 1940 Act. Further, as defined under these procedures, each cross-trade is effected at the current market price to save costs where allowed. The Funds did not engage in cross trades during the year ended December 31, 2022.

 

Restricted and Illiquid Securities The Funds may purchase certain restricted securities and limited amounts of illiquid securities. The Funds may invest in securities exempt from registration under Rule 144A of the Securities Act of 1933 (“the Act”) which are restricted from sale to the public and may only be sold to a qualified institutional buyer. The Funds do not have the right to demand that such securities be registered. The value of such securities is determined by valuations supplied by a pricing service or, if not available, in good faith pursuant to policies and procedures approved by the Boards. At December 31, 2022, the Core Bond Fund held $111,277,602 or 13.92% of net assets and the High Yield Bond Fund held $445,430,858 or 75.94% of net assets in securities exempt from registration under Rule 144A of the Act.

 

At December 31, 2022 the Core Bond Fund held $4,908,761 of illiquid securities representing 0.61% of net assets and High Yield Bond Fund held $1,411,143 of illiquid securities, representing 0.24% of net assets. The Fund will classify as “illiquid” all securities that the Fund reasonably expects cannot be sold or disposed of in current market conditions in seven calendar days or less without the sale or disposition significantly changing the market value of the investment. Illiquid investments may include restricted securities, repurchase agreements that mature in more than seven days or that have a notice or demand feature more than seven days, certain over-the-counter option contracts and participation interests in loans. Because illiquid securities trade less frequently and in smaller volume than liquid securities, the Fund may experience difficulty in closing out positions at prevailing market prices.

NOTE D—Tax Information

 

 

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

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

December 31, 2022

Notes to Financial Statements, continued

 

Uncertain Tax Positions Management has analyzed the Funds’ tax positions taken for all open tax years which remain subject to examination by the Funds’ major tax jurisdictions (years 2019 through 2022). The Funds recognize interest and penalties, if any, related to tax liabilities as income tax expense in the Statement of Operations. Management has concluded that, as of and during the year ended December 31, 2022, no provision for federal income tax is necessary and, therefore, the Funds did not have a liability for any unrecognized tax expenses.

 

Note E—Other Matters

 

 

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

 

Note F—Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

 

In March 2020, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2020-04, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848) “Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting” (“ASU 2020-04”), which provides optional temporary financial reporting relief from the effect of certain types of contract modifications due to the planned discontinuation of the LIBOR and other interbank-offered based reference rates as of the end of 2021. The new guidance is effective for certain reference rate-related contract modifications that occurred up through the period ended December 31, 2022, and the adoption of ASU 2020- 04 is elective. Management believes the adoption of ASU 2020-04 did not have a material impact on the financial statements.

 

Effective September 8, 2022, the Funds were required to comply with Rule 2a-5, Good Faith Determinations of Fair Value, under the 1940 Act, which is intended to address valuation practices and the role of the board of directors with respect to the fair value of the investments of a registered investment company. Management believes the adoption of Rule 2a-5 did not have a material impact on the financial statements.

 

Note G—Subsequent Events

 

 

The Company evaluated all subsequent events for potential recognition or disclosure in these financial statements through February 22, 2023, the date the financial statements were available to be issued. No subsequent events were identified.

Basis for Opinion

 

These financial statements are the responsibility of the Trusts’ management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on each of the Funds’ financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (“PCAOB”) and are required to be independent with respect to the Trusts in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

 

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Trusts are not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of the Trusts’ internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits, we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Trusts’ internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.

 

Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of December 31, 2022, by correspondence with the custodian, brokers and others; when replies were not received from brokers and others, we performed other auditing procedures. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

 

 

We have served as the auditor of the Impax Funds Series Trust I and Impax Funds Series Trust III since 2003.

Board Considerations in Approving the Amended and Restated Advisory Agreement

 

 

Review Process. The Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), requires that both the full Board of Trustees (the “Trustees”) of Pax World Funds Series Trust I (“Trust I”) and a majority of the Trustees who are not “interested persons” (as defined in Section 2(a)(19) of the 1940 Act) of Trust I (the “Independent Trustees”), voting separately, approve any new advisory agreement, or any amendment thereof, for any series of Trust I.

 

The 1940 Act also requires that the Trustees of Trust I request and evaluate, and that Impax Asset Management LLC (“IAM”) furnish, such information as may reasonably be necessary for the Trustees of Trust I to evaluate the terms of the amended and restated advisory agreement (the “Amended and Restated Advisory Agreement”) by and between IAM and Trust I, on behalf of Pax Large Cap Fund (the “Fund”).

 

At a meeting held on September 14-15, 2022 (the “Meeting”), the Trustees, including a majority of the Independent Trustees, approved the Amended and Restated Advisory Agreement. The Trustees took such action after discussion among themselves and with representatives of IAM of the information provided to them by IAM relating to the proposed introduction of breakpoints in the fee schedule of the Fund.

December 31, 2022

 

 

The Independent Trustees were assisted in their evaluation of the Amended and Restated Advisory Agreement by independent legal counsel, from whom they received assistance and advice, including a review of the legal standards applicable to the consideration of advisory arrangements, and with whom they met separately from management. The Independent Trustees requested information and discussed with IAM the information that was provided.

 

The Independent Trustees considered that the only effect of the Amended and Restated Advisory Agreement was to reduce the fees payable by the Fund thereunder above certain asset levels.

 

The Trustees, including the Independent Trustees, also considered their deliberations and conclusions in connection with their recent approval of the advisory agreement, including with respect to (i) the nature, extent and quality of IAM’s services; (ii) the investment performance of the Fund; (iii) the advisory fees paid by the Fund to IAM relative to the Fund’s Broadridge peer group; (iv) the costs of the services provided by IAM and the estimated profitability of IAM’s relationship with the Fund; (v) the direct and indirect benefits to IAM from its relationship with the Fund, including reputational and other “fall out” benefits; and (vi) the extent to which IAM may realize economies of scale or other efficiencies in managing and supporting the Fund. The Trustees noted that they had approved the continuation of the then-current advisory agreement for the Fund at their June 8-9, 2022 meeting, after evaluating materials provided in connection with the contract review process at their March and June 2022 meetings.

 

Conclusions. Based on the foregoing and other relevant considerations, the Trustees, including a majority of the Independent Trustees, voted to approve the Amended and Restated Advisory Agreement. Based on their evaluation of factors that they deemed to be material, including those factors described above, the Trustees, including the Independent Trustees, unanimously concluded that approval of the Amended and Restated Advisory Agreement would be in the best interests of shareholders of the Fund.
