INVESTING FOR GOOD®
Dear Fellow Shareholder,
The six months ending January 31, 2021 were tumultuous ones for our personal and community lives while being as smooth as could be for investors. We were once again reminded that the stock market does not render an accounting of the health of the economy but of certain companies. The six month period ending January 31, 2021 saw the Standard & Poor’s 500 index rise by a stunning 14%. It also saw unemployment figures at levels not seen since the 1930s.
During this time, American citizens struggled with yet another reckoning over racial justice. Marches in our cities motivated many to finally look to government for positive social change. The events around the Presidential election were beyond anything most Americans could have imagined even a decade ago. COVID-19 continued to rip apart families, businesses, and our health care system. Then when a vaccine was made available, the federal government largely stepped aside, leaving the financially depleted and exhausted local governments and agencies to figure out the logistics of actually inoculating enough people to halt the virus before it mutates into something much worse.
Paradoxically, stocks and bonds rose. Stocks returned astonishing results. Of special interest to responsible investors was the dynamic improvement in the opinion of companies that offer solutions to hardships. The backdrop described above caused an urgent need for these solutions. Responsible investors had been intrigued by the concept of distance learning bringing courses from top universities to students in remote locations, but the pandemic made the product urgently needed. We had admired the capacity to offer a kinder, more family-friendly work environment with flexibility of location, but the immediate necessity to work from home caused those companies with such technology to flourish. We had long felt that much of health care could be done more efficiently for the consumer, but not until the pandemic did the market appreciate the need. In short, we witnessed a period during which responsible investors were rewarded for the foresight they had by applying the good-for-people-and-the-planet lens to stock selection.
Another trend we have seen accelerating is the creation, nurturing, and bringing to public markets of a number of companies which were explicitly created to do good. The new generation of entrepreneurs seeking solutions to global climate issues or to providing dignity to people has hit full stride. It is an exciting trend and one that could offer a real contribution to our shared desire for a pleasant future.

INVESTING FOR GOOD®
It is never easy to look back over a six month period and in brief form, summarize the moment. The phrase, “at the crossroads,” comes to mind. The planet stood, perhaps still stands, at the crossroads of choosing democratic institutions for governance, of choosing to limit our lifestyles to save ourselves from climate disaster, to finalize — or not — the definition of humankind as encompassing all human beings, regardless of ethnicity or other potential differentiators. At Domini Impact Investments, we strive to give you, our investors, an opportunity to be part of the solution as we seek the universal human dignity and ecological sustainability necessary for the next seven generations.
Thank you for your continued support and interest in investing with impact.

INVESTING FOR GOOD®
Sometimes, the path to impact investing starts small. With a cigarette, for example. As you bear the pain of a lost loved one, you wonder: is my money invested in tobacco companies?
The list may grow.
Weapons. Even if you never buy one personally, are your dollars helping to produce thousands?
Pesticides. Your lawn may not use them to grow, but does your money?
Gambling. You may only bet on a game once a year. But is your money feeding addictions that are causing high levels of debt among others?
The list goes on.
Fossil fuels.
Nuclear power.
For profit-prisons.
The issue becomes not our lack of dislikes — that list grows ever longer — but how we channel our dollars and our dislikes into things we do like; things we can feel good about.
Can you do good by buying stocks? Amy Domini’s answer is yes. In a piece that originally appeared in Kamp Solutions last summer, she calls financial asset management “a vast network of individuals, wired together, responsive immediately to new developments, continuously pricing in the risks and rewards implied by an action taken by a company.”
When used properly, she writes, a system that is ideal for delivering goods and services to people is also perfect for delivering wellbeing on a global scale. All that is needed is an investment adviser that cares, a set of standards that endures, an individual who believes, and a community that builds. Because if enough people come together with a care that’s mutual, the power of small becomes the greatness of all.

INVESTING FOR GOOD®
Think of it as the “better effect.” When investors choose to invest only in companies that consider the environment and society, the definition of ‘better’ crystalizes. Securities markets of the world can begin to revalue the better-behaving companies, thereby delivering an incentive to corporate management for better behavior — and that kind of better is in all of our best interests.
This evolution of better has been part of Domini’s mission from the beginning. To achieve it, we start with standards; we always have. As a small, independent company, our standards loom large and our deep belief in universal human dignity and ecological sustainability, even larger. We seek investments that promote long-term environmental sustainability as well as universal values of fairness, equality, justice, and respect for human rights.
Our Impact Investment Standards
Universal human dignity and ecological sustainability are the goal.
Standards are the path we take to achieve it.
First, we evaluate companies to see if their core business model is aligned with our twin goals. Sometimes our assessment is straightforward because our exclusionary screens lead us to eliminate certain industries all together. Sorry, big tobacco. Hello, renewable energy. But usually, like the world, it’s complicated.
So next, we look at the company’s relations with its key stakeholders. This includes ecosystems; local, national, and global communities; customers; employees; suppliers; investors.
Our Impact Investment Standards focus on key themes that we believe best capture the strength of a corporation’s relations with each of these stakeholders.
Exclusionary Screens
Determining which lines of business are fundamentally misaligned with our goals of universal human dignity and ecological sustainability make some investment decisions easy. Divestment from these industries has allowed us to further debate of some of the most important and difficult issues of our time, such as climate change. The following exclusionary screens are applied consistently across all our Funds:
5
INVESTING FOR GOOD®
Weapons & Firearms
| We have a longstanding policy to avoid investment in manufacturers of weapons, including military weapons and civilian firearms, which can be used to cause incalculable harm. We believe it is irresponsible to combine weapons manufacturing with the pressure to maximize profits. |
Nuclear Power
| We exclude companies involved in nuclear weapons production, as well as owners of nuclear power plants. We believe nuclear power technology presents significant risks to human health and safety, as well as the environment. We also have an exclusion on uranium mining. |
Fossil Fuels
| We exclude companies in the energy sector involved in oil and natural gas exploration and production, coal mining, oil and gas storage, transportation, refining, marketing, and related services due to the urgent need to accelerate the low-carbon transition and address the environmental, social and financial risks of climate change. We also seek to avoid electric utilities with a majority of installed capacity from coal and exclude any utility that has announced or begun construction on new coal plants following the Paris Agreement. |
For Profit-Prisons
| We exclude for-profit prisons and immigration detention centers due to the significant civil and human rights concerns that occur as a result of their business models, particularly for marginalized communities. The for-profit prison model incentivizes imprisoning the greatest number of people for the longest duration at the lowest cost to increase growth and profits. |
Tobacco, Alcohol & Gambling
| We have never invested in companies that are significant manufacturers of tobacco products, alcoholic beverages, or significant providers of gambling goods and services. For these companies, effective marketing often means exploiting customers’ addictions to their products or lack of awareness of potential risks. |
| In addition to these industry exclusions, we have generally avoided major producers of synthetic pesticides and agricultural chemicals due to environmental concerns related to this business. |

Our standards versus the S&P 500
The average investor may not know it, but the S&P 500 Index may include companies they don’t want to own, such as a weapons manufacturer. Here, we show what percentage of the S&P 500 we consider eligible for investment.
S&P 500 Index1

Small carbon footprint, big impact
As supporters of a greener future, we’re proud to report that the Domini Impact Equity Fund’s portfolio as of December 31, 2020 was 55% less carbon intensive than its benchmark.
TCFD Carbon Intensity2
Our standards lead us to be underweight to more carbon-intensive sectors like Utilities and Energy. These numbers don’t happen by chance; we have developed proprietary key performance indicators (KPIs) to help guide our social and environmental research for all asset classes and sub-industries covered by our Funds. We revise these often to ensure we remain focused on the most relevant and meaningful information.
7
INVESTING FOR GOOD®
For materials companies, for instance, we recently expanded our assessment of greenhouse gas emissions reduction targets to include time-bound transition plans, including reporting aligned with the recommendations of the Taskforce for Climate-related Financial Disclosures (TCFD).
When standards lead, inspiring outcomes follow
Perhaps the best way to understand our investment standards is to look at some of the companies we’re invested in and how these investments support our goals of universal human dignity and ecological sustainability. Here are some recent highlights and insights.
Domini Impact Equity Fund Investment Highlight: Sunrun
Sunrun is the leading residential solar installer in the U.S., with a demonstrated commitment to expanding access to affordable, clean energy. The company designs, installs, finances, insures, monitors and maintains rooftop solar systems, with little to no upfront cost to homeowners and predictable pricing for 20 years, often providing significant savings over the cost of traditional energy. Sunrun’s intelligent Brightbox battery storage solution helps customers maximize savings by optimizing generation and storage and reducing reliance on electric utilities during times of peak demand. As of 2019, Sunrun estimates that its solar systems have prevented 5.2 million metric tons of greenhouse gas emissions, produced over 7 billion kilowatt-hours of clean energy, and saved customers more than $300 million on electricity bills. Through a long-running partnership with GRID Alternatives, Sunrun has also helped provide access to solar power for thousands of low-income families in underserved communities across the country.
Domini Impact Equity Fund Investment Highlight: Salesforce.com
Salesforce.com Inc. engages in the design and development of cloud-based enterprise software for customer relationship management. The company’s internal diversity and inclusion programs are particularly strong, both in disclosure but also in action. The company discloses diversity data by gender, ethnicity, and by positions within the company (tech, non-tech, and leadership) and conducts equal pay audits annually to address unexplained difference in pay based on gender, race and ethnicity. In 2019, the company adjusted pay for 5% of employees globally to assure pay equity among its employees. The company also has strong gender and racial diversity in its executive team and board of directors, with over 30% representation on each.

Domini Impact Bond Fund Investment Highlight: MacArthur Foundation
MacArthur Foundation is a not-for-profit organization headquartered in Chicago, Illinois that provides grants to address some of society’s most pressing challenges with the aim of building a more “just, verdant, and peaceful world.” Throughout its history, the Foundation has awarded more than $7.3 billion to nearly 10,000 organizations and individuals in 117 countries. The Domini Impact Bond Fund is invested in a social bond issued by the Foundation, which will be used to fund organizations and further initiatives that seek to address the economic and social challenges resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic, particularly among communities of color and the nonprofit sector more broadly, as well as to address the systemic issues exposed by the pandemic and the protests in response to police use of violence against persons of color, especially African Americans.
Domini Sustainable Solutions Fund
Our standards, applied to all our Funds, ensure we meet our goals of human dignity and environmental sustainability. On April 1, 2020 (yes, right in the middle of the pandemic), we introduced the Domini Sustainable Solutions Fund. This Fund offers high-conviction exposure to solution-oriented companies around the world helping to address the following sustainability themes:
We anticipated the need for a product that focuses solely on sustainability solutions. Think access to health care, access to food that’s clean and wholesome for the planet, and access to transportation that doesn’t rely on petroleum. For example, Tesla, which is our top portfolio holding in this Fund.

Small. It’s the new big.
Our standards have allowed us to lead impact investing before impact investing led. When you uphold standards for over 25 years, impact investing becomes more than a trend; it becomes a tradition. One that knows that the secret to making an impact is small. It’s one individual, believing. It’s one community, sharing. It’s one organization, listening. It’s one founder, creating. It’s one Fund, caring. And it’s all of us, coming together with a care that’s mutual in Funds that are too, ready to tell the big financial world, welcome to Domini, where the power of small is the greatness of all.
Thank you for being an important part of our community.

Past performance is no guarantee of future results. The Fund’s returns quoted above represent past performance after all expenses. The returns reflect any applicable expense waivers in effect during the periods shown. Without such waivers, Fund performance would be lower. Investment return, principal value, and yield will fluctuate. Your shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Call 1-800-582-6757 or visit domini.com for performance information current to the most recent month-end, which may be lower or higher than the performance data quoted. A 2.00% redemption fee applies on sales or exchanges of shares made less than 30 days after the settlement of purchase or acquisition through exchange, with certain exceptions. Quoted performance data does not reflect the deduction of this fee, which would reduce the performance quoted. See the prospectus for further information.
Per the prospectus date November 30, 2020, the Fund’s (gross/net) annual operating expenses totaled 1.78%/1.40% and 1.53%/1.15% for the Investor and Institutional Class shares, respectively. The Fund’s Adviser has contractually agreed to waive certain fees and/or reimburse certain ordinary operating expenses in order to limit Investor and Institutional share expenses to 1.40% and 1.15%, respectively. These expense limitations are in effect through November 30, 2021. There can be no assurance that the Adviser will extend the expense limitations beyond such time. While in effect, the arrangement may be terminated for a class only by agreement of the Adviser and the Fund’s Board of Trustees.
The table does not reflect the deduction of fees and taxes that a shareholder would pay on Fund distributions or the redemption of Fund shares. Total return is based on the Fund’s net asset values and assumes all dividends and capital gains were reinvested.
An investment in the Domini International Opportunities Fund is not a bank deposit and is not insured. The Fund is subject to certain risks, including, foreign investing, geographic focus, country, currency, impact investing, recent events and market risks. Investing internationally involves special risks, such as currency fluctuations, social and economic instability, differing securities regulations and accounting standards, limited public information, possible changes in taxation, and periods of illiquidity. You may lose money.

Past performance is no guarantee of future results. The Fund’s returns quoted above represent past performance after all expenses. The returns reflect any applicable expense waivers in effect during the periods shown. Without such waivers, Fund performance would be lower. Investment return, principal value, and yield will fluctuate. Your shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Call 1-800-582-6757 or visit domini.com for performance information current to the most recent month-end, which may be lower or higher than the performance data quoted. A 2.00% redemption fee applies on sales or exchanges of shares made less than 30 days after the settlement of purchase or acquisition through exchange, with certain exceptions. Quoted performance data does not reflect the deduction of this fee, which would reduce the performance quoted. See the prospectus for further information.
Per the prospectus dated November 30, 2020, the Fund’s (gross/net) annual operating expenses totaled 3.95%/1.40% and 2.89%/1.15% for the Investor and Institutional Class shares, respectively. The Fund’s Adviser has contractually agreed to waive certain fees and/or reimburse certain ordinary operating expenses in order to limit Investor share and Institutional share expenses to 1.40% and 1.15%, respectively. These expense limitations are in effect through November 30, 2021. There can be no assurance that the Adviser will extend the expense limitations beyond such time. While in effect, the arrangement may be terminated for a class only by agreement of the Adviser and the Fund’s Board of Trustees.
The table does not reflect the deduction of fees and taxes that a shareholder would pay on Fund distributions or the redemption of Fund shares. Total return is based on the Fund’s net asset values and assumes all dividends and capital gains were reinvested.
An investment in the Domini Sustainable Solutions Fund is not a bank deposit and is not insured. The Fund is subject to certain risks, including sustainable investing, portfolio management, information, market, recent events, and mid- to large-cap companies and small-cap companies risks. Investing internationally involves special risks, such as currency fluctuations, social and economic instability, differing securities regulations and accounting standards, limited public information, possible changes in taxation, and periods of illiquidity. You may lose money.
The FTSE Global All Cap Index (gross) is a market-capitalization weighted index representing the performance of the large, mid and small cap stocks globally. FTSE Global All Cap Index (gross) reflects the reinvestment of dividends without any withholding tax deduction. The MSCI World Investable Market Index (net) (MSCI IMI) is a market-capitalization weighted index representing the performance of large-mid- and small-capitalization companies in developed markets. The MSCI IMI includes the reinvestment of dividends net of withholding tax, but does not reflect other fees, expenses or taxes. See the prospectus for more information. You cannot invest directly in an index.
1Inception Date 4/1/2020. “Since Inception” for the FTSE Global All Cap Index (gross) and MSCI World Investable Market Index (net) refers to performance since 4/1/2020.
2Effective November 1, 2020, the performance benchmark against which the Fund measures its performance changed from the FTSE Global All Cap Index (gross) to the MSCI World Investable Market Index (net).

Past performance is no guarantee of future results. The Fund’s returns quoted above represent past performance after all expenses. The returns reflect any applicable expense waivers in effect during the periods shown. Without such waivers, Fund performance would be lower. Investment return, principal value, and yield will fluctuate. Your shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Call 1-800-582-6757 or visit domini.com for performance information current to the most recent month-end, which may be lower or higher than the performance data quoted. A 2.00% redemption fee applies on sales or exchanges of shares made less than 30 days after the settlement of purchase or acquisition through exchange, with certain exceptions. Quoted performance data does not reflect the deduction of this fee, which would reduce the performance quoted. See the prospectus for further information.
Per the prospectus date November 30, 2020, the Fund’s (gross/net) annual operating expenses totaled 1.38%/1.38%, 1.54%/1.40%, 0.95%/0.95%, and 1.06%/1.06% for the Investor, Class A, Institutional, and Class Y shares, respectively. The Fund’s Adviser has contractually agreed to waive certain fees and/or reimburse certain ordinary operating expenses in order to limit Class A share expenses to 1.40%. This expense limitation is in effect through November 30, 2021. There can be no assurance that the Adviser will extend the expense limitations beyond such time. While in effect, the arrangement may be terminated for a class only by agreement of the Adviser and the Fund’s Board of Trustees.
The table does not reflect the deduction of fees and taxes that a shareholder would pay on Fund distributions or the redemption of Fund shares. Total return is based on the Fund’s net asset values and assumes all dividends and capital gains were reinvested.
An investment in the Domini Impact International Equity Fund is not a bank deposit and is not insured. The Fund is subject to certain risks, including foreign investing, emerging markets, geographic focus, country, currency, impact investing, portfolio management, market, recent events and mid- to large-cap companies risks. Investing internationally involves special risks, such as currency fluctuations, social and economic instability, differing securities regulations and accounting standards, limited public information, possible changes in taxation, and periods of illiquidity. You may lose money.
The Morgan Stanley Capital International Europe Australasia Far East (MSCI EAFE) index (net) is an unmanaged index of common stocks. MSCI EAFE (net) includes the reinvestment of dividends net of withholding tax, but does not reflect other fees, expenses or taxes. It is not available for direct investment.

Fund Performance and Holdings
The table and bar charts below provide information as of January 31, 2021, about the percentage of the Domini Impact Bond Fund’s portfolio holdings invested in various types of debt obligations:
PORTFOLIO COMPOSITION (% OF NET ASSETS) (Unaudited)
The Global Industry Classification Standard (“GICS”) was developed by and is the exclusive property and a service mark of MSCI Inc. (“MSCI”) and Standard & Poor’s, a division of The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc. (“S&P”) and is licensed for use by Domini Impact Investments. Neither MSCI, S&P nor any third party involved in making or compiling the GICS or any GICS classifications makes any express or implied warranties or representations with respect to such standard or classification nor shall any such party have any liability therefrom.

Past performance is no guarantee of future results. The Fund’s returns quoted above represent past performance after all expenses. The returns reflect any applicable expense waivers in effect during the periods shown. Without such waivers, Fund performance would be lower. Investment return, principal value, and yield will fluctuate. Your shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Call 1-800-582-6757 or visit domini.com for performance information current to the most recent month-end, which may be lower or higher than the performance data quoted. A 2.00% redemption fee applies on sales or exchanges of shares made less than 30 days after the settlement of purchase or acquisition through exchange, with certain exceptions. Quoted performance data does not reflect the deduction of this fee, which would reduce the performance quoted. See the prospectus for further information.
Per the prospectus dated November 30, 2020, the Fund’s (gross/net) annual operating expenses totaled 1.15%/0.87%, 0.74%/0.57%, and 0.79%/0.65% for the Investor, Institutional, and Class Y shares, respectively. The Fund’s Adviser has contractually agreed to waive certain fees and/or reimburse certain ordinary operating expenses in order to limit Investor, Institutional share, and Class Y expenses to 0.87%, 0.57%, and 0.65%, respectively. These expense limitations are in effect through November 30, 2021. There can be no assurance that the Adviser will extend the expense limitations beyond such time. While in effect, the arrangement may be terminated for a class only by agreement of the Adviser and the Fund’s Board of Trustees.
The table does not reflect the deduction of fees and taxes that a shareholder would pay on Fund distributions or the redemption of Fund shares. Total return is based on the Fund’s net asset values and assumes all dividends and capital gains were reinvested.
An investment in the Domini Impact Bond Fund is not a bank deposit and is not insured. You may lose money. The Fund is subject to certain risks, including impact investing, portfolio management, style risk, information, market, recent events, interest rate and credit risks.
During periods of rising interest rates, the Fund can lose value. Some of the Fund’s community development investments may be unrated and may carry greater credit risks than the Fund’s other holdings. The Fund currently holds a large percentage of its portfolio in mortgage-backed securities. During periods of falling interest rates, mortgage-backed securities may prepay the principal due, which may lower the Fund’s return by causing it to reinvest at lower interest rates.
Investments in derivatives can be volatile. Potential risks include currency risk, leverage risk (the risk that small market movements may result in large changes in the value of an investment), liquidity risk, index risk, pricing risk, and counterparty risk (the risk that the counterparty may be unwilling or unable to honor its obligations).
TBA (To Be Announced) securities involve the risk that the security the Fund buys will lose value prior to its delivery. There also is the risk that the security will not be issued or that the other party to the transaction will not meet its obligation, which can adversely affect the Fund’s returns.
The reduction or withdrawal of historical financial market support activities by the U.S. Government and Federal Reserve, or other governments/central banks could negatively impact financial markets generally, and increase market, liquidity and interest rate risks which could adversely affect the Fund’s returns.
The Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Aggregate Index is an index representing securities that are U.S. domestic, taxable, and dollar denominated and covering the U.S. investment grade fixed rate bond market, with index components for government and corporate securities and asset-backed securities. You cannot invest directly in an index.
1Institutional shares were not offered prior to November 30, 2011. All performance information for time periods beginning prior to November 30, 2011 is the performance of the Investor shares. This performance has not been adjusted to reflect the lower expenses of the Institutional shares.

(a) The maximum potential amount the Fund could be required to pay as a seller of credit protection or receive as a buyer of credit protection if a credit event occurs as defined under the terms of that particular swap agreement.
(b) The prices and resulting values for credit default swap agreements on credit indices serve as an indicator of the current status of the payment/performance risk and represent the likelihood of an expected liability (or profit) for the credit derivative should the notional amount of the swap agreement be closed/sold as of the period end. Increasing market values, in absolute terms when compared to the notional amount of the swap, represent a deterioration of the referenced entity’s credit soundness and a greater likelihood or risk of default or other credit event occurring as defined under the terms of the agreement.

(c) If the Fund is a buyer/(seller) of protection and a credit event occurs, as defined under the terms of that particular swap agreement, the Fund will either (i) receive from the seller/(pay to the buyer) of protection an amount equal to the notional amount of the swap and deliver/(take delivery) of the referenced obligation or underlying securities comprising the referenced index or (ii) receive/(pay) a net settlement amount in the form of cash or securities equal to the notional amount of the swap less the recovery value of the referenced obligation of underlying securities comprising the referenced index.

DOMINI FUNDS EXPENSE EXAMPLE (Unaudited)
As a shareholder of the Domini Funds, you incur two types of costs:
(1) Transaction costs such as redemption fees deducted from any redemption or exchange proceeds if you sell or exchange shares of the fund after holding them less than 30 days and sales charges (loads) on Class A shares and
(2) Ongoing costs, including management fees, distribution (12b-1) fees, and other Fund expenses.
This example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds. The example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested on August 1, 2020 and held through January 31, 2021.
Certain Account Fees
Some accounts are subject to recurring annual service fees and maintenance fees that are not included in the expenses shown in the table. If your account was subject to these fees, then the actual account values at the end of the period would be lower and the actual expense would be higher. You may avoid the annual service fee by choosing paperless electronic delivery of statements, prospectuses, shareholder reports and other materials.
Actual Expenses
The line of the table captioned ‘‘Actual Expenses’’ below provides information about actual account value and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, together with the amount invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period as follows:
(1) Divide your account value by $1,000.
(2) Multiply your result in step 1 by the number in the first line under the heading ‘‘Expenses Paid During Period’’ in the table.
The result equals the estimated expenses you paid on your account during the period.
Hypothetical Expenses
The second line of the table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund’s return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and other mutual funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical example that appears in the shareholder reports of the other funds.
70
Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs, such as redemption fees. Therefore, the second line of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

Class A, Institutional and Class Y shares of the Domini Impact International Equity Fund were not offered prior to November 28, 2008, November 30, 2012, and June 15, 2018 respectively.
The Investor shares, Institutional shares and Class Y shares are sold at their offering price, which is net asset value. The Class A shares are sold with a front-end sales charge (load) of up to 4.75%. The Institutional shares may only be purchased by or for the benefit of investors that meet the minimum investment requirements, and fall within the following categories: endowments, foundations, religious organizations and other nonprofit entities, individuals, retirement plan sponsors, family office clients, certain corporate or similar

institutions, or omnibus accounts maintained by financial intermediaries and that are approved by the Fund’s Distributor. Class Y shares are generally available only through omnibus accounts held on the books of the Fund for financial intermediaries that have been approved by the Funds’ distributor. Class Y shares are also available to endowments, foundations, religious organizations or other tax—exempt entities, and certain eligible retirement and benefit plans. All classes of shares have identical rights and voting privileges with respect to the Fund in general and exclusive voting rights on matters that affect that class alone. Earnings, net assets, and net asset value per share may differ due to each class having its own expenses, such as transfer and shareholder servicing agent fees and registration fees, directly attributable to that class. Institutional and Class Y shares are not subject to distribution and service fees.
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The following is a summary of the Funds’ significant accounting policies.
(A) Valuation of Investments. Securities listed or traded on national securities exchanges are valued at the last sale price reported by the security’s primary exchange or, if there have been no sales that day, at the mean of the current bid and ask price that represents the current value of the security. Securities listed on the NASDAQ National Market System are valued using the NASDAQ Official Closing Price (the “NOCP”). If an NOCP is not available for a security listed on the NASDAQ National Market System, the security will be valued at the last sale price or, if there have been no sales that day, at the mean of the current bid and ask price. Securities for which market quotations are not readily available or as a result of an event occurring after the close of the foreign market but before pricing the Funds are valued at fair value as determined in good faith under procedures established by and under the supervision of the Funds’ Board of Trustees. Securities that are primarily traded on foreign exchanges generally are valued at the closing price of such securities on their respective exchanges, except that if the Trust’s manager or submanager, as applicable, is of the opinion that such price would result in an inappropriate value for a security, including as a result of an occurrence subsequent to the time a value was so established, then the fair value of those securities may be

determined by consideration of other factors (including the use of an independent pricing service) by or under the direction of the Board of Trustees or its delegates.
The Funds follow a fair value hierarchy that distinguishes between (a) market participant assumptions developed based on market data obtained from sources independent of the reporting entity (observable inputs) and (b) the Fund’s own assumptions about market participant assumptions developed based on the best information available in the circumstances (unobservable inputs). These inputs are used in determining the value of the Funds’ investments and are summarized in the following fair value hierarchy:
Level 1 — quoted prices in active markets for identical securities
Level 2 — other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, and evaluated quotation obtained from pricing services)
Level 3 — significant unobservable inputs (including the Funds’ own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments)
The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.
The following is a summary of the inputs used by the Domini Impact Equity Fund, as of January 31, 2021, in valuing the Fund’s assets carried at fair value:

(B) Foreign Currency Translation. Securities and other assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollar amounts on the date of valuation. Purchases and sales of securities, and income and expense items denominated in foreign currencies, are translated into U.S. dollar amounts on the respective dates of such transactions. Occasionally, events impact the availability or reliability of foreign exchange rates used to convert the U.S. dollar equivalent value. If such an event occurs, the foreign exchange rate will be valued at fair value using procedures established and approved by the Board of Trustees. The Funds do not separately report the effect of fluctuations in foreign exchange rates from changes in market prices on securities held. Such fluctuations are included with the net realized and unrealized gain or loss from investments. Realized foreign exchange gains or losses arise from sales of foreign currencies, currency gains or losses realized between the trade and settlement dates on securities transactions, and the difference between the recorded amounts of dividends, interest, and foreign withholding taxes and the U.S. dollar equivalent of the amounts actually received or paid. Net unrealized foreign exchange gains and losses arise from changes in fair value of assets and liabilities other than investments in securities held at the end of the reporting period, resulting from changes in exchange rates.

(C) Foreign Currency Contracts. When the Funds purchase or sell foreign securities, they enter into foreign exchange contracts to minimize foreign exchange risk from the trade date to the settlement date of the transactions. A foreign exchange contract is an agreement between two parties to exchange different currencies at an agreed-upon exchange rate on a specified date.
For the six months ended January 31, 2021, open foreign currency contracts were as follows:

| Domini Sustainable Solutions Fund |

4,287,471 |
(D) Investment Transactions, Investment Income and Dividends to Shareholders. Investment transactions are accounted for on trade date. Realized gains and losses from security transactions are determined on the basis of identified cost. Interest income is recorded on an accrual basis. Dividend income, net of any applicable withholding tax, is recorded on the ex-dividend date or for certain foreign securities, when the information becomes available to the Funds. The Funds earn income daily, net of Fund expenses. Dividends to shareholders of the Domini Impact Equity Fund are usually declared and paid quarterly from net investment income. Dividends to shareholders of the Domini International Opportunities Fund, the Domini Sustainable Solutions Fund and the Domini International Equity Fund are usually declared and paid semiannually from net investment income. Distributions to shareholders of realized capital gains, if any, are made annually. Distributions are determined in conformity with income tax regulations, which may differ from generally accepted accounting principles. Reclassifications have been made to the Funds’ components of net assets to reflect income and gains available for distribution (or available capital loss carryovers, as applicable) under income tax regulations.
(E) Federal Taxes. Each Fund’s policy is to comply with the provisions of the Internal Revenue Code applicable to regulated investment companies and to distribute substantially all of its taxable income, including net realized gains, if any, within the prescribed time periods. Accordingly, no provision for federal income or excise tax is deemed necessary. As of January 31, 2021, tax years 2017 through 2020 remain subject to examination by the Funds’ major tax jurisdictions, which include the United States of America, the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, and New York State.

(F) Redemption Fees. Redemptions and exchanges of Fund shares held less than 30 days may be subject to the Funds’ redemption fee, which is 2% of the amount redeemed. The fee is imposed to offset transaction costs and other expenses associated with short-term investing. The fee may be waived in certain circumstances at the discretion of the Funds. Such fees are retained by the Funds and are recorded as an adjustment to paid-in capital.
(G) Other. Income, expenses (other than those attributable to a specific class), gains, and losses are allocated on a daily basis to each class of shares based upon the relative proportion of net assets represented by such class. Operating expenses directly attributable to a specific class are charged against the operations of that class.
(H) Transfer Agent Credits. Per the arrangement with the Funds’ former transfer agent, BNY Mellon Investment Servicing (U.S.) Inc., prior to June 22, 2020, the Funds had arrangements whereby they received earnings credits when positive cash balances were maintained, which were used to offset transfer agency fees.
(I) Indemnification. The Funds’ organizational documents provide current and former trustees and officers with a limited indemnification against liabilities arising in connection with the performance of their duties to the Funds. In the normal course of business, the Funds may also enter into contracts that provide general indemnifications. The Funds’ maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would be dependent on future claims that may be made against the Funds. The risk of material loss from such claims is considered remote.
2. TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES
(A) Manager/Sponsor. The Funds have retained Domini Impact Investments LLC (Domini) to serve as investment manager and administrator. Domini is registered as an investment adviser under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940.

The Funds are subject to the provisions of Accounting Standards Codification ASC 740 Income Taxes (ASC 740). ASC 740 sets forth a minimum threshold for financial statement recognition of the benefit of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. The Funds did not have a liability to record for any unrecognized tax benefits in the accompanying financial statements. No provision has been made for taxes on income, capital gains or unrealized appreciation on securities held or for excise tax on income and capital gains.
6. OTHER RISKS
The Funds’ risks include, but are not limited to, some or all of the risks discussed below:
Market Risk: The market values of securities or other assets will fluctuate, sometimes sharply and unpredictably, due to changes in general market conditions, overall economic trends or events, governmental actions or intervention, market disruptions caused by trade disputes or other factors, political developments, recessions, the spread of infectious illness or other public health issues, investor sentiment and other factors that may or may not be related to the issuer of the security or other asset. If the market values of the securities or other assets held by the Funds fall, including a complete loss on any individual security, the value of your investment will go down. Economies and financial markets throughout the world are increasingly interconnected. Economic, financial or political events, trading or tariff arrangements, terrorism, natural disasters, global pandemics and other circumstances in one country or region could have profound impacts on global economies or markets. As a result, whether or not the Funds invests in securities of issuers located in or with significant exposure to the countries directly affected, the value and liquidity of the Funds’ investments may be negatively affected.
Recent Events Risk: The illness COVID-19 caused by a novel coronavirus has resulted in a global pandemic and major disruption to economies and markets around the world, including the United States. Global financial markets have experienced extreme volatility and severe losses, and trading in many instruments has been disrupted. Liquidity for many instruments has been greatly reduced for periods of time. Some interest rates are very low and in some cases yields are negative. Some sectors of the economy and individual issuers have experienced particularly large losses. These circumstances may continue for an extended period of time and may adversely affect the value and/

or liquidity of the Funds’ investments. In addition, the impact of infectious illnesses in emerging market countries may be greater due to generally less established healthcare systems. Public health crises caused by the COVID-19 outbreak may exacerbate other pre-existing political, social and economic risks in certain countries or globally. The ultimate economic fallout from the pandemic, and the long-term impact on economies, markets, industries and individual issuers, are not known. Governments and central banks, including the Federal Reserve in the U.S., have taken extraordinary and unprecedented actions to support national economies and the financial markets. These actions have resulted in significant expansion of public debt, including in the U.S. The impact of these measures, and whether they will be effective to mitigate the economic and market disruption, may not be known for some time. The consequences of high public debt including its future impact on the economy and securities markets, likewise may not be known for some time.

1. ORGANIZATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The Domini Impact Bond Fund (the “Fund”) is a series of the Domini Investment Trust. The Trust is a Massachusetts business trust registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 as an open-end management investment company. The Fund is an investment company and accordingly follows the investment company accounting and reporting guidance of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the “FASB”) Accounting Standard Codification Topic 946 “Financial Services — Investment Companies”.
The Fund offers Investor Shares, Institutional Shares and Class Y shares. Institutional shares and Class Y shares were not offered prior to November 30, 2011, and June 15, 2018, respectively. As of January 31, 2021, the Class Y shares of the Bond Fund had not yet commenced operations. Each class of shares is sold at its offering price, which is net asset value.
The Institutional shares may only be purchased by or for the benefit of investors that meet the minimum investment requirements, and fall within the following categories: endowments, foundations, religious organizations and other nonprofit entities, individuals, retirement plan sponsors, family office clients, certain corporate or similar institutions, or omnibus accounts maintained by financial intermediaries and that are approved by the Fund’s Distributor.
Class Y shares may only be purchased through omnibus accounts held on the books of the Fund for financial intermediaries that have been approved by the Funds’ distributor. Each class of shares has identical rights and voting privileges with respect to the Fund in general and exclusive voting rights on matters that affect that class alone. Earnings, net assets, and net asset value per share may differ due to each class having its own expenses, such as transfer and shareholder servicing agent fees and registration fees, directly attributable to that class. Institutional shares are not subject to distribution fees.
The Fund seeks to provide its shareholders with a high level of current income and total return by investing in bonds and other debt instruments that are consistent with the Fund’s social and environmental standards and the submanager’s security selection approach.
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The following is a summary of the Fund’s significant accounting policies.

(A) Valuation of Investments. Bonds and other fixed-income securities (other than obligations with maturities of 60 days or less) are valued on the basis of valuations furnished by an independent pricing service, use of which has been approved by the Board of Trustees of the Fund. In making such valuations, the pricing service utilizes both dealer-supplied valuations and electronic data processing techniques that take into account appropriate factors such as institutional-size trading in similar groups of securities, yield, quality, coupon rate, maturity, type of issue, trading characteristics, and other market data, without exclusive reliance upon quoted prices or exchange or over-the-counter prices, since such valuations are believed to reflect more accurately the fair value of such securities. Short-term obligations of sufficient credit quality (maturing in 60 days or less) are valued at amortized cost, which constitutes fair value as determined by the Board of Trustees of the Fund. Securities (other than short-term obligations with remaining maturities of 60 days or less) for which there are no such quotations or valuations are valued at fair value as determined in good faith by or at the direction of the Fund’s Board of Trustees.
The Fund follows a fair value hierarchy that distinguishes between (a) market participant assumptions developed based on market data obtained from sources independent of the reporting entity (observable inputs) and (b) the Fund’s own assumptions about market participant assumptions developed based on the best information available in the circumstances (unobservable inputs). These inputs are used in determining the value of the Fund’s investments and are summarized in the following fair value hierarchy:
Level 1 — quoted prices in active markets for identical securities
Level 2 — other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, and evaluated quotation obtained from pricing services)
Level 3 — significant unobservable inputs (including the Fund’s own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments).
The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.

(B) Foreign Currency Translation. Securities and other assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollar amounts on the date of valuation. Purchases and sales of securities, and income and expense items denominated in foreign currencies, are translated into U.S. dollar amounts on the respective dates of such transactions. Occasionally, events impact the availability or reliability of foreign exchange rates used to convert the U.S. dollar equivalent value. If such an event occurs, the foreign exchange rate will be valued at fair value using procedures established and approved by the Board of Trustees. The Funds do not separately report the effect of fluctuations in foreign exchange rates from changes in market prices on securities held. Such fluctuations are included with the net realized and unrealized gain or loss from investments. Realized foreign exchange gains or losses arise from sales of foreign currencies, currency gains or losses realized between the trade and settlement dates on securities transactions, and the difference between the recorded amounts of dividends, interest, and foreign withholding taxes and the U.S. dollar equivalent of the amounts actually received or paid. Net unrealized foreign exchange gains and losses arise from changes in fair value of assets and liabilities other than investments in securities held at the end of the reporting period, resulting from changes in exchange rates.
(C) Foreign Currency Contracts. When the Funds purchase or sell foreign securities they enter into foreign exchange contracts to minimize foreign exchange risk from the trade date to the settlement date of the transactions. A foreign exchange contract is an agreement between two parties to exchange different currencies at an agreed-upon exchange rate on a specified date. The Fund had $121,059 in outstanding open foreign currency spot contracts as of January 31, 2021.
(D) Securities Purchased on a When-Issued or Delayed Delivery Basis. The Fund may invest in when-issued or delayed delivery securities where the price of the security is fixed at the time of the commitment but delivery and payment take place beyond customary settlement time. These securities are subject to market fluctuation, and no interest accrues on the security to the purchaser during this period. The payment obligation and the interest rate that will be received on the securities are each fixed at the time the purchaser enters into the commitment. Purchasing obligations on a when-issued or delayed delivery basis is a form of leveraging and can involve a risk that the yields available in the market when the delivery takes place may be higher than those obtained in the transaction, which could result in an unrealized loss at the time of delivery. The Fund establishes a segregated account consisting of liquid securities equal to the amount of the commitments to purchase securities on such basis.
122
DOMINI IMPACT BOND FUND
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)
January 31, 2021 (Unaudited)
(E) TBA Purchase and Forward Sale Commitments. The Fund may enter into TBA commitments to purchase or sell securities for a fixed price at a future date. TBA commitments are considered securities in themselves and involve a risk of loss if the value of the security to be purchase or sold declines or increases prior to the settlement date, which is in addition to the risk of decline in the value of the Fund’s other assets.
(F) Derivative Financial Instruments. The Fund may invest in derivatives in order to hedge market risks, or to seek to increase the Fund’s income or gain. Derivatives in certain circumstances may require that the Fund segregate cash or other liquid assets to the extent the Fund’s obligations are not otherwise covered through ownership of the underlying security, financial instrument, or currency. Derivatives involve special risks, including possible default by the other party to the transaction, illiquidity, and the risk that the use of derivatives could result in greater losses than if it had not been used. Some derivative transactions, including options, swaps, forward contracts, and options on foreign currencies, are entered into directly by the counterparties or through financial institutions acting as market makers (OTC derivatives), rather than being traded on exchanges or in markets registered with the Commodity Futures Trading Commission or the SEC.
(G) Option Contracts. The Fund may purchase or write option contracts primarily to manage and/or gain exposure to interest rate, foreign exchange rate and credit risk. An option is a contract entitling the holder to purchase or sell a specific number of shares or units of an asset or notional amount of a swap (swaption), at a specified price. Options purchased are recorded as an asset while options written are recorded as a liability. Upon exercise of an option, the acquisition cost or sales proceeds of the underlying investment is adjusted by any premium received or paid. Upon expiration of an option, any premium received or paid is recorded as a realized gain or loss. Upon closing an option other than through expiration or exercise, the difference between the premium and the cost to close the position is recorded as a realized gain or loss. The Fund had no purchased option contracts outstanding as of January 31, 2021.
(H) Futures Contracts. The Fund may purchase and sell futures contracts based on various securities, securities indexes, and other financial instruments and indexes. The Fund intends to use futures contracts for hedging purposes. Futures contracts provide for the future sale by one party and purchase by another party of a specified amount of a specified security or financial instrument at a specified future time and at a specified price. When the Fund purchases or sells a futures contract, the Fund must allocate certain of its assets
123
DOMINI IMPACT BOND FUND
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)

as an initial deposit on the contract. The futures contract is marked to market daily thereafter, and the Fund may be required to pay or entitled to receive additional “variation margin,” based on decrease or increase in the value of the futures contract. Future contracts outstanding at January 31, 2021 are listed in the Fund’s Portfolio of Investments.
(I) Forward Currency Contracts. The Fund may enter into forward currency contracts with counterparties to hedge the value of portfolio securities denominated in particular currencies against fluctuations in relative value or to generate income or gain. These contracts are used to hedge foreign exchange risk and to gain exposure on currency. The U.S. dollar value of forward currency contracts is determined using current forward exchange rates supplied by a quotation service. The fair value of the contract will fluctuate with changes in currency exchange rates. The contract is marked to market daily and the change in fair value is recorded as an unrealized gain or loss. The Fund records a realized gain or loss equal to the difference between the value of the contract at the time it was opened and the value at the time it was closed when the contract matures or by delivery of the currency. The Fund could be exposed to risk if the value of the currency changes unfavorably, if the counterparties to the contracts are unable to meet the terms of their contracts or if the Fund is unable to enter into a closing position. Risk may exceed amounts recognized on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Forward currency contracts outstanding at January 31, 2021 are listed in the Fund’s Portfolio of Investments.
(J) Interest Rate Swap Contracts. The Fund may enter into interest rate swap contracts to hedge interest rate risk. An interest rate swap is an agreement between the Fund and a counterparty to exchange cash flows based on the difference between two interest rates, applied to a notional amount. Interest rate swap contracts are marked to market daily based upon quotations from an independent pricing service or market maker. Any change on an OTC interest rate swap is recorded as an unrealized gain or loss on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Daily fluctuations in the value of centrally cleared interest rate swaps are settled though a central clearing agent and are recorded in variation margin on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities and recorded as unrealized gain or loss. OTC and centrally cleared interest rate swap contracts outstanding at January 31, 2021, are listed in the Fund’s Portfolio of Investments.
(K) Credit Default Swap Contracts. The Fund may enter into credit default swap contracts primarily to manage and/or gain exposure to credit risk. A credit default swap is an agreement between the fund and a counterparty whereby the buyer of the contract receives credit protection and the seller of the contract guarantees the credit worthiness of a referenced debt obligation. These
124

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)
January 31, 2021 (Unaudited)
agreements may be privately negotiated in the over-the-counter market (“OTC credit default swaps”) or may be executed in a multilateral trade facility platform, such as a registered exchange (“centrally cleared credit default swaps”). The underlying referenced debt obligation may be a single issuer of corporate or sovereign debt, a credit index, or a tranche of a credit index. In the event of a default of the underlying referenced debt obligation, the buyer is entitled to receive the notional amount of the credit default swap contract from the seller in exchange for the referenced debt obligation, a net settlement amount equal to the notional amount of the credit default swap less the recovery value of the referenced debt obligation, or other agreed upon amount. For centrally cleared credit default swaps, required initial margins are pledged by the fund, and the daily change in fair value is accounted for as a variation margin payable or receivable on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities. Over the term of the contract, the buyer pays the seller a periodic stream of payments, provided that no event of default has occurred. Such periodic payments are accrued daily as an unrealized appreciation or depreciation until the payments are made, at which time they are realized. Payments received or paid to initiate a credit default swap contract are reflected on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities and represent compensating factors between stated terms of the credit default swap agreement and prevailing market conditions (credit spreads and other relevant factors). These upfront payments are amortized over the term of the contract as a realized gain or loss on the Statements of Operations. OTC and centrally cleared credit default swap contracts outstanding at January 31, 2021 are listed in the Fund’s Portfolio of Investments.
(L) Total Return Swap Contracts. The Fund may enter into total return swaps to obtain investment exposures that are expected to correlate closely with the Index or a portion of the Index. Total return swaps are agreements in which there is an exchange of cash flows whereby one party commits to make payments on the total return (coupon plus capital gains/losses) of an underlying instrument in exchange for fixed or floating rate interest payments. To the extent the total return of the instrument or index underlying the transaction exceeds or falls short of the offsetting interest rate obligation, the Fund will receive a payment or make a payment to the counterparty. During the term of the outstanding swap agreement, changes in the underlying value of the swap are recorded as unrealized gains and losses. Periodic payments received or made are recorded as realized gains or losses. The Fund is exposed to credit loss in the event of nonperformance by the swap counterparty. Risk may also arise from the unanticipated movements in value of exchange rates, interest rates, securities, or the index.

(M) Master Agreements. The Fund is a party to ISDA (International Swaps and Derivatives Association, Inc.) Master Agreements that govern OTC derivative and foreign exchange contracts (Master Agreements) with certain counterparties entered into from time to time. The Master Agreements may contain provisions regarding, among other things, the parties’ general obligations, representations, agreements, collateral requirements, events of default and early termination. With respect to certain counterparties, in accordance with the terms of the Master Agreements, collateral posted to the Fund is held in a segregated account by the Fund’s custodian and with respect to those amounts which can be sold or repledged, are presented in the Fund’s portfolio. Collateral pledged by the Fund is segregated by the Fund’s custodian and identified in the Fund’s portfolio. Collateral can be in the form of cash or other marketable securities as agreed to by the Fund and the applicable counterparty. Collateral requirements are determined based on the Fund’s net position with each counterparty.
With respect to ISDA Master Agreements, termination events applicable to the counterparty include certain deteriorations in the credit quality of the counterparty. Termination events applicable to the Fund include failure of the Fund to maintain certain net asset levels and/or limit the decline in net assets over various periods of time. In the event of default or early termination, the ISDA Master Agreement gives the non-defaulting party the right to net and close-out all transactions traded, whether or not arising under the ISDA agreement, to one net amount payable by one counterparty to the other. However, absent an event of default or early termination, OTC derivative assets and liabilities are presented gross and not offset in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities. Early termination by the counterparty may result in an immediate payment by the Fund of any net liability owed to that counterparty under the ISDA agreement.
In a centrally cleared swap, while the Fund enters into an agreement with a clearing broker to execute contracts with a counterparty, the performance of the swap is guaranteed by the central clearinghouse, which reduces the Fund’s exposure to counterparty risk. The Fund is still exposed to the counterparty risk through the clearing broker and clearinghouse. The clearinghouse attempts to minimize this risk to its participants through the use of mandatory margin requirements, daily cash settlements and other procedures. Likewise, the clearing broker reduces its risk through margin requirements and required segregation of customer balances.
(N) Investment Transactions, Investment Income, and Dividends to Shareholders. Investment transactions are accounted for on trade date. Realized
126
DOMINI IMPACT BOND FUND
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)
January 31, 2021 (Unaudited)
gains and losses from security transactions are determined on the basis of identified cost. Interest income is recorded on an accrual basis. The Fund earns income daily, net of Fund expenses. Paydown gains and losses are recorded as an adjustment to interest income. Dividends to shareholders are usually declared daily and paid monthly from net investment income. Distributions to shareholders of realized capital gains, if any, are made annually. Distributions are determined in conformity with income tax regulations, which may differ from generally accepted accounting principles. Reclassifications have been made to the Fund’s components of net assets to reflect income and gains available for distribution (or available capital loss carryovers, as applicable) under income tax regulations.
(O) Federal Taxes. The Fund’s policy is to comply with the provisions of the Internal Revenue Code applicable to regulated investment companies and to distribute substantially all of its taxable income, including net realized gains, if any, within the prescribed time periods.
Accordingly, no provision for federal income or excise tax is deemed necessary. As of January 31, 2021, tax years 2017 through 2020 remain subject to examination by the Fund’s major tax jurisdictions, which include the United States of America, the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, and New York State.
(P) Redemption Fees. Redemptions and exchanges of Fund shares held less than 30 days may be subject to the Fund’s redemption fee, which is 2% of the amount redeemed. The fee is imposed to offset transaction costs and other expenses associated with short-term investing. The fee may be waived in certain circumstances at the discretion of the Fund. Such fees are retained by the Fund and are recorded as an adjustment to paid-in capital.
(Q) Other. Income, expenses (other than those attributable to a specific class), gains, and losses are allocated on a daily basis to each class of shares based upon the relative proportion of net assets represented by such class. Operating expenses directly attributable to a specific class are charged against the operations of that class.
(R) Transfer Agent Credits. Per the arrangement with the Fund’s former transfer agent, BNY Mellon Investment Servicing (U.S.) Inc., prior to June 22, 2020, the Fund had arrangements whereby it received earnings credits when positive cash balances were maintained, which were used to offset transfer agent fees.
(S) Indemnification. The Fund’s organizational documents provide current and former trustees and officers with a limited indemnification against liabilities
127

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)
January 31, 2021 (Unaudited)
arising in connection with the performance of their duties to the Fund. In the normal course of business, the Fund may also enter into contracts that provide general indemnifications. The Fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would be dependent on future claims that may be made against the Fund. The risk of material loss from such claims is considered remote.
2. TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES

The Fund is subject to the provisions of Accounting Standards Codification ASC 740 Income Taxes (ASC 740). ASC 740 sets forth a minimum threshold for financial statement recognition of the benefit of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. The Fund did not have a liability to record for any unrecognized tax benefits in the accompanying financial statements. No provision has been made for taxes on income, capital gains or unrealized appreciation on securities held or for excise tax on income and capital gains.
7. OTHER RISKS
The Fund’s risks include, but are not limited to, some or all of the risks discussed below:
Market Risk: The market values of securities or other assets will fluctuate, sometimes sharply and unpredictably, due to changes in general market conditions, overall economic trends or events, governmental actions or intervention, market disruptions caused by trade disputes or other factors, political developments, recessions, the spread of infectious illness or other public health issues, investor sentiment and other factors that may or may not be related to the issuer of the security or other asset. If the market values of the securities or other assets held by the Fund fall, including a complete loss on any individual security, the value of your investment will go down. Economies and financial markets throughout the world are increasingly interconnected. Economic, financial or political events, trading or tariff arrangements, terrorism, natural disasters, global pandemics and other circumstances in one country or region could have profound impacts on global economies or
133

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)

markets. As a result, whether or not the Fund invests in securities of issuers located in or with significant exposure to the countries directly affected, the value and liquidity of the Fund’s investments may be negatively affected.
Recent Events Risk: The illness COVID-19 caused by a novel coronavirus has resulted in a global pandemic and major disruption to economies and markets around the world, including the United States. Global financial markets have experienced extreme volatility and severe losses, and trading in many instruments has been disrupted. Liquidity for many instruments has been greatly reduced for periods of time. Some interest rates are very low and in some cases yields are negative. Some sectors of the economy and individual issuers have experienced particularly large losses. These circumstances may continue for an extended period of time and may adversely affect the value and/or liquidity of the Fund’s investments. In addition, the impact of infectious illnesses in emerging market countries may be greater due to generally less established healthcare systems. Public health crises caused by the COVID-19 outbreak may exacerbate other pre-existing political, social and economic risks in certain countries or globally. The ultimate economic fallout from the pandemic, and the long-term impact on economies, markets, industries and individual issuers, are not known. Governments and central banks, including the Federal Reserve in the U.S., have taken extraordinary and unprecedented actions to support national economies and the financial markets. These actions have resulted in significant expansion of public debt, including in the U.S. The impact of these measures, and whether they will be effective to mitigate the economic and market disruption, may not be known for some time. The consequences of high public debt, including its future impact on the economy and securities markets, likewise may not be known for some time.

APPROVAL OF AMENDED AND RESTATED MANAGEMENT AGREEMENT AND SUBMANAGEMENT AGREEMENT WITH RESPECT TO THE DOMINI INTERNATIONAL OPPORTUNITIES FUND (UNAUDITED)
Section 15(c) of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”) requires that each mutual fund’s board of trustees, including a majority of those trustees who are not “interested persons” of the mutual fund, as defined in the 1940 Act (the “Independent Trustees”), consider and approve the fund’s investment management and submanagement agreements. At its meeting held on July 28, 2020, the Board of Trustees (“Board” or “Trustees”) of the Domini Investment Trust (the Trust”), including all of the Independent Trustees, voted to approve the: (i) the Amended and Restated Management Agreement with Domini Impact Investments LLC (“Domini”) for the Domini International Opportunities Fund (the “International Opportunities Fund” or “Fund’)(the “Management Agreement”) with Domini Impact Investments LLC (“Domini” or the “Adviser”), and (ii) the Submanagement Agreement between Domini and SSGA Funds Management, Inc., (“SSGA” or “Subadviser”) with respect to the International Opportunities Fund (the “Submanagement Agreement” and with the Management Agreement, the “Agreements”).
Prior to the July 28, 2020, meeting, the Board requested, received, and reviewed written responses from Domini and SSGA to questions posed to them on behalf of the Independent Trustees and supporting materials relating to those questions and responses. The Board considered both written and verbal information furnished to the Board at its meetings throughout the year, as well as information specifically prepared in connection with the approval of the Agreements at the Board’s meeting on July 28, 2020. In addition, the Trustees also reviewed and discussed the proposal relating to the Fund at a special meeting held on June 24, 2020. Information provided to the Board at its meetings throughout the year included, among other things, reports on performance, legal and compliance matters, sales and marketing activity, shareholder services, and the other service provided to other Domini Funds by SSGA and Domini and their affiliates.
The Board considered the Management Agreement and the Submanagement Agreement separately in the course of its review. In doing so, the Board noted the respective roles of the Adviser and Subadviser in providing services to the Fund.
Throughout the process, the Board had the opportunity to ask questions of and request additional information from Domini and SSGA. The Board was assisted by legal counsel for the Trust and the Independent Trustees were also separately assisted by independent legal counsel throughout the process. The Independent Trustees also received memoranda from counsel to the Trust discussing the legal standards for their consideration of the Agreements. The Independent Trustees
135
were advised by and met in executive sessions with their independent legal counsel at which no representatives of management were present to discuss the proposed continuation of the Agreements, including at meetings on July 27 and July 28, 2020.
In connection with the Board’s consideration of the approval of the Agreement with respect to the Fund, the Board received written materials in advance of the meeting, which included information regarding: (i) the nature, extent, and quality of services to be provided to the Fund by Domini and by SSGA; (ii) a description of Domini and SSGA’s proposed investment management and other personnel and their background and experience; (iii) an overview of Domini’s and SSGA’s operations and financial condition; (iv) a comparison of the Funds’ estimated advisory fee and overall expenses with those of comparable mutual funds selected by Strategic Insight, a third party provider of mutual fund data; (v) performance information for Domini’s comparably managed accounts; (vi) the anticipated level of profitability from Domini and SSGA’s relationships with respect to the Fund; (vii) a description of Domini’s and SSGA’s brokerage practices (including any soft dollar arrangements); and (viii) Domini’s and SSGA’s compliance policies and procedures, including policies and procedures for personal securities transactions and with respect to cybersecurity, business continuity and disaster recovery.
In reaching their determination to approve the Management Agreement and Submanagement Agreement with respect to the Fund, the Trustees reviewed and evaluated information and a variety of factors that they believed relevant and appropriate through the exercise of their reasonable business judgment. The Trustees’ determination to approve the Agreements was based on a comprehensive consideration of all written and verbal information provided to the Board about Domini and SSGA throughout the year and specifically with respect to the approval of such Agreements, as applicable. In this regard, in addition to the meeting at which approval of the Agreements was considered, the Trustees also reviewed and discussed the proposal relating to the Fund at a special meeting held on June 24, 2020.
APPROVAL OF THE MANAGEMENT AGREEMENT
The primary factors and the conclusions regarding the Management Agreement are described below. The Board did not identify any particular information or factor that was all-important or controlling, and each Trustee may have weighted certain factors differently. The Board noted that the evaluation process with respect to Domini and the Management Agreement is an ongoing one. In evaluating the Management Agreement, the Trustees also took into account their knowledge of Domini, its proposed services with respect to the Fund and the other Domini Funds resulting from their meetings and other information and interactions in past years. The Board also considered other factors (including conditions and trends prevailing generally in the economy, the securities markets and the industry).

The Trustees reviewed information and materials provided by Domini related to the Management Agreement, including the Management Agreement, Domini’s Form ADV, a description of the firm and its organizational and management structure, its operational history and its legal and regulatory history, the manner in which investment decisions are expected to be made and executed with respect to the Fund, the financial condition of Domini and its ability to provide the services required under the Management Agreement, an overview of the personnel that are expected to perform services for the Fund, and Domini’s compliance policies and procedures. The Board also considered Domini’s risk management processes and its policies and procedures with respect to cybersecurity, business continuity and disaster recovery. The Board considered Domini’s financial condition and operations during the COVID-19 pandemic and noted that there had been no material disruption of Domini’s services to the other Domini Funds.
The Trustees reviewed the terms of the Management Agreement and considered that, pursuant to the Management Agreement, Domini, subject to the direction of the Board, is responsible for providing advice and guidance with respect to the Fund and for managing the investment of the assets of the Fund, including by engaging and overseeing the activities of the Fund’s submanager. It was noted that Domini would apply its social and environmental standards to select the Fund’s investments and that SSGA Funds Management, Inc. (“SSGA”), the Fund’s submanager, would be responsible for purchasing and selling securities to implement Domini’s selections and manage the amount of the Fund’s assets to be held in short-term investments.
The Trustees considered the scope and the quality of the services to be provided by Domini to the Fund under the Management Agreement. They considered the professional experience, tenure, and qualifications of the investment management team and the other senior personnel at Domini who will be responsible for the management of the Fund, including the oversight of the Fund’s submanager. They also considered Domini’s capabilities and experience in the development and application of social and environmental investment standards and its reputation and leadership in the socially responsible investment community. The Trustees considered the information they had received from Domini concerning the professional experience of its research team. They noted that the senior members of Domini’s research team had years of experience in the development and application of social and environmental investment standards. The terms of the Management Agreement were also reviewed by the Trustees. In addition, they considered Domini’s compliance record. The Trustees also noted that, on a regular basis, they receive information from the Trust’s Chief Compliance Officer regarding Domini’s compliance policies and procedures, including its Code of Ethics. The Trustees took into account the scope of compliance services to be provided by Domini and the undertakings required of Domini in connection with those services.
137
They also considered the quality of Domini’s compliance oversight program with respect to the Fund’s service providers, including the Fund submanager. They also considered both the investment advisory services and the nature, quality and extent of the administrative and other non-advisory services, including shareholder servicing and distribution support services to be provided to the Fund and its shareholders by Domini and its affiliates. The Board also considered the significant risks Domini would assume in connection with the services to be provided to the Fund, including entrepreneurial risk and ongoing risks including investment, operational, enterprise, litigation, regulatory and compliance risks with respect to the Fund.
The Trustees noted that Domini will administer the Fund’s business and other affairs pursuant to the Management Agreement. It was noted that, among other things, Domini will provide the Fund with office space, administrative services and personnel as are necessary for operations, and that Domini will pay all of the compensation of the officers and the Trustees who are not Independent Trustees. The Trustees considered the quality of the administrative services Domini will provide to the Fund, including Domini’s role in coordinating and monitoring the activities of service providers. They noted that they were satisfied with the quality of the management and administrative services to be provided by Domini to the Fund, particularly Domini’s oversight of the Fund’s submanager and development and application of social and environmental investment standards.
Based on the foregoing, the Trustees concluded that the nature, quality and extent of services to be provided by Domini to the Fund under the Management Agreement were expected to be satisifactory.
Performance Information. The Trustees did not consider the Fund’s performance in approving the Management Agreement because the Fund has not commenced operations and does not have a performance history. The Trustees considered the investment performance of the Domini Impact International Equity Fund (“International Equity Fund”) another mutual fund managed by Domini that has a similar investment objective and primarily invests in mid- to large-cap international securities. The Trustees noted however, that the Fund and International Equity Fund utilize different subadvisers and public benchmarks, and that there are differences between each Fund’s investment process and strategies, as well as different portfolio managers. The Trustees concluded that they had confidence in Domini’s overall capability to manage the Fund.
Fees and Other Expenses. The Trustees considered the proposed management fees to be paid by the Fund to Domini, the proposed submanagement fees to be paid by Domini to the Fund’s submanager, the portion of the fees to be retained by Domini, and Domini’s contractual expense limitation arrangement with respect to the Fund.
138
The Trustees considered the information provided to them by Strategic Insight including data relating to the level of the Fund’s proposed management fee versus the aggregate management fee for the relevant Strategic Insight peer groups of SRI funds and compared the Fund’s total expense ratio, after giving effect to contractual fee waiver arrangements, to the total expense ratio of those peers. The Trustees also considered that Domini (and not the Funds) would pay the Fund’s submanager from its advisory fee.
Based on the information provided by Strategic Insight, the Trustees noted that the proposed aggregate management fees for the Fund’s Investor shares, after giving effect to Domini’s contractual fee waiver arrangement, were below the median aggregate management fees of its SRI peer group net of applicable waivers. They also considered that the total expense ratio of the Fund’s Investor shares, after giving effect to the contractual expense waivers, was above the median total expense ratio of the SRI peer group after waivers.
The Board took into account management’s discussion of the Fund’s anticipated expenses, including regarding the differences between the amount of those expenses and the expenses borne by the funds in the Fund’s expense peer group, as well as the impact of the size of the Domini fund complex on expenses relative to those of the other funds in the Fund’s peer group. The Board also noted management’s discussion of the management fee structure and considered that Domini would be waiving and/or reimbursing expenses for the Fund. The Board also took into account Domini’s discussion of the Fund’s proposed management fee as compared to other funds that Domini manages.
Based on the foregoing, the Trustees concluded that the proposed management fees payable by the Fund were fair and reasonable in relation to the nature and quality of services to be provided and supported approval of the Management Agreement.
Costs of Services Provided and Profitability. The Trustees reviewed information provided to them by Domini concerning the estimated costs to be borne by and profitability of Domini in respect of its management relationship with the Fund for the 2020 calendar year, along with a description of the methodology used by Domini in preparing the profitability information. The Trustees also noted that Domini would pay the submanagement fees for the Fund out of the management fees that it received from the Fund. The Trustees also considered that Domini would enter into an expense limitation arrangement with respect to the Fund. The Board also took into account the risks that Domini would assume as adviser including entrepreneurial, operational, reputational, litigation and regulatory risk. The Trustees concluded that they were satisfied that the estimated level of profitability of Domini and its affiliates with respect to the services to be provided to the Fund was not excessive in view of the nature, quality and extent of services to be provided.
139
Economies of Scale. The Trustees also considered whether economies of scale would be realized by Domini as the Fund’s assets increased and the extent to which such economies of scale were reflected in the proposed fees to be charged with respect to the Fund under the Management Agreement. The Trustees noted that there were breakpoints in the management fee schedule. The Trustees concluded that breakpoints were an effective way to share economies of scale and that this was a positive factor in support of the approval of the Management Agreement.
Other Benefits. The Trustees considered the other benefits that Domini and its affiliates would receive from their relationship with the Fund. The Trustees considered the brokerage practices of Domini and noted that, based on information provided to them, Domini would was not expected to receive the benefits of soft dollar commissions with respect to the Fund. The Trustees also considered the intangible benefits that may accrue to Domini and its affiliates by virtue of their relationship with the Fund. The Trustees concluded that the benefits to be received by Domini and its affiliates, as outlined above, were reasonable in the context of the relationship between Domini and the Fund, and supported the approval of the Management Agreement.
APPROVAL OF THE SUBMANAGEMENT AGREEMENT
The primary factors and the conclusions regarding the Submanagement Agreement are described below. The Trustees did not identify any particular information or factor that was all-important or controlling, and each Trustee may have weighted certain factors differently. The Trustees noted that the evaluation process with respect to SSGA and the Submanagement Agreement is an ongoing one. In evaluating the Submanagement Agreement, the Trustees took into account their knowledge of SSGA, its proposed services with respect to the Fund and the other Domini Funds resulting from their meetings and other information and interactions in past years. The Board also considered other factors (including conditions and trends prevailing generally in the economy, the securities markets and the industry).
Nature, Quality, and Extent of Services to be Provided. The Trustees reviewed information and materials provided by SSGA related to the Submanagement Agreement, including the Submanagement Agreement, SSGA’s Form ADV, a description of the firm and its organizational and management structure, its operational history and its legal and regulatory history, the manner in which investment decisions are expected to be made and executed with respect to the Fund, the financial condition of SSGA and its ability to provide the services required under the Submanagement Agreement, an overview of the personnel that are expected to perform services for the
Fund, and SSGA’s compliance policies and procedures. The Board also considered SSGA’s risk management processes and its policies and procedures with respect to cybersecurity, business continuity and disaster recovery. The
140
Board considered SSGA’s financial condition and operations during the COVID-19 pandemic and noted that there had been no material disruption of SSGA’s services to the other Domini Funds for which SSGA provides submanagement services.
The Trustees reviewed the terms of the Submanagement Agreement and considered the scope and quality of the services to be provided by SSGA to the Fund under the Submanagement Agreement. The Trustees noted that pursuant to the Submanagement Agreement, Domini, subject to the direction of the Board, is responsible for providing advice and guidance with respect to the Fund and for managing the investment of the assets of the Fund, which it proposed to do by engaging and overseeing the activities of SSGA. It was noted that Domini would apply its social and environmental standards to select the Fund’s investments and that SSGA would be responsible for purchasing and selling securities to implement Domini’s selections and for managing the amount of the Fund’s assets to be held in short-term investments.
The Trustees then considered the professional experience, tenure, and qualifications of the proposed portfolio management team of the Fund and the other senior personnel at SSGA. They also reviewed SSGA’s compliance record. The Trustees also noted that, on a regular basis, it receives information from the Trust’s Chief Compliance Officer regarding SSGA’s compliance policies and procedures, including its Code of Ethics. The Trustees also received information with respect to SSGA’s brokerage policies and practices, including with respect to best execution and soft dollars. The terms of the Submanagement Agreement were also reviewed by the Trustees.
Based on the foregoing, the Trustees concluded that the nature, quality and extent of services to be provided by SSGA to the Fund under the Submanagement Agreement were expected to be satisfactory.
Performance Information. The Trustees did not consider the Fund’s performance in approving the Submanagement Agreement because the Fund has not commenced operations and does not have a performance history. The Trustees also noted that SSGA did not advise a comparable fund.
Fees and Other Expenses. The Trustees then considered the proposed submanagement fees to be paid by Domini to SSGA under the Submanagement Agreement. The Trustees noted that the Submanagement Agreement had been negotiated at arms-length between Domini and SSGA. The Trustees also compared SSGA’s proposed fee with respect to the Fund against the submanagement fees paid by another Domini Fund submanaged by SSGA under a similar submanagement structure and took into account the different investment strategies of each Fund. The Trustees also noted the comparative sub-advisory fee information, as available, in the report provided by Strategic Insight with respect to the Fund. The Trustees noted that Domini (and not the
141
Fund) would pay SSGA from its management fee and that they had reviewed the proposed management fee and comparative fee information in connection with their consideration of the Management Agreement.
The Trustees determined, based on the nature and quality of the services to be provided by SSGA, and in light of the preceding factors, that the fees to be paid by Domini to SSGA with respect to the Fund were fair and reasonable in relation to the nature and quality of services provided and supported approval of the Submanagement Agreement.
Costs of Services Provided and Profitability. Among other information, the Trustees reviewed SSGA’s financial statements. The Trustees concluded that they were satisfied that the estimated level of profitability of SSGA with respect to services provided to the Fund was not excessive. However, the Board also took into account that the Submanagement Agreement was negotiated on an arms-length basis and that Domini, and not the Fund, would pay the cost of the submanagement fees to be paid to SSGA and that, therefore, the costs of the services to be provided and the profitability to be realized by SSGA was not a material factor in the Board consideration.
Economies of Scale. The Trustees also considered whether economies of scale would be realized by SSGA as the assets in the Fund increased and the extent to which economies of scale were reflected in the proposed fees to be charged under the Submanagement Agreement. The Trustees noted that the submanagement fees would be paid by Domini and not the Fund. However, the Trustees noted the breakpoints in fees payable under the Submanagement Agreement, as well as breakpoints in the fees payable to Domini under the Management Agreement for the Fund, and concluded that such breakpoints were an effective way to share economies of scale with shareholders as the assets in the Fund grew and supported the approval of the Submanagement Agreement.
Other Benefits. The Trustees considered the other benefits that SSGA and its affiliates received from their relationship with the Fund. They considered that SSGA’s affiliate, State Street Bank & Trust Company, provides custody, fund accounting and administration serivces to the Domini Funds, including the Fund. The Trustees also considered the brokerage practices of SSGA including its use of soft dollar arrangements. In addition, the Trustees considered the intangible benefits that may accrue to SSGA and its affiliates by virtue of their relationship with the Fund.
The Trustees concluded that the benefits to be received by SSGA and its affiliates, as noted above, were reasonable in the context of the relationship between SSGA and the Fund and supported the approval of the Submanagement Agreement.

Based on the Board’s evaluation of all factors that the Board deemed to be material, including those factors described above, the Board, including the Independent Trustees, concluded that approval of the Management Agreement and the Submanagement Agreement would be in the best interest of the Fund and its shareholders. Accordingly, the Board, and the Independent Trustees voting separately, approved the Management Agreement and Submanagement Agreement.
