Dear Green Century Funds Shareholder:

 

We are pleased to report that each of the Green Century Funds (the “Funds”) produced competitive returns over the six months ended January 31, 2004. The Balanced Fund, in particular, stood out by achieving the number one ranking based on total return among the 540 balanced funds tracked by Lipper for the one-year period ended January 31, 2004.1 The Equity Fund also saw healthy returns, buoyed by rising equity markets. These positive results follow a difficult period for U.S. equity markets.

The performance of both Funds was aided by low interest rates, an improving economy and the anticipation of further growth in corporate earnings. These factors seemed to trump the negative influence of slow job growth, continued uncertainty related to terrorism, the war in Iraq, and allegations of improprieties in the mutual fund industry that surfaced in the fall of 2003.

 

The Green Century Balanced Fund invests primarily in the stocks and bonds of select companies that have clean environmental records. The Balanced Fund’s portfolio manager also seeks out innovative companies that may contribute to a safer, cleaner, and more sustainable environment. The Balanced Fund was up 18.60% for the six months ended January 31, 2004, with the equity and bond portions of the portfolio both contributing to the Fund’s strong returns.

 

1 Lipper Analytic Services, Inc. (“Lipper”) is a respected mutual fund reporting service. For the one-year, five-year and ten-year periods ended December 31, 2003, the Balanced Fund ranked 1 out of 540, 4 out of 363, and 13 out of 127, respectively, of balanced funds tracked by Lipper.

The performance data quoted represents past performance and is not a guarantee of future results. Investment return and principal value of an investment will fluctuate so that an investor’s shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Current performance may be lower or higher than the performance information quoted. To obtain Fund prices and performance information as of the most recent month-end, call 1-800-93-GREEN. The performance data quoted does not reflect the deduction of taxes that some shareholders might pay on Fund distributions or the redemption of Fund shares.

In selecting stocks for the Balanced Fund’s portfolio, the portfolio manger focused on companies that he believed would be able to meet or beat performance estimates irrespective of the overall rate of economic growth. Examples of companies that contributed to the Balanced Fund’s performance include:

  Chiquita Brands2, which executed its business turnaround plan and consistently met investor expectations. The well-known banana and fruit grower also implemented an environmental turnaround over the last several years. For example, all of Chiquita’s company-owned farms in Latin America have been certified to meet the environmental and labor standards of the Rainforest Alliance, a respected environmental organization.
  Whole Foods Market2, a retailer of natural and organics foods with more than 140 stores in North America, was up strongly during the period, supporting the portfolio manager’s hypothesis that an increasing number of consumers are seeking healthier food options.
  Holdings in the green energy sector performed well. For example, Quantum Fuel Systems2, a leading designer and manufacturer of fuel system technologies for alternatively fueled vehicles including those powered by hydrogen (fuel cell vehicles) rose during the period, as did Vestas Wind Systems2, the world’s largest manufacturer of turbines that produce electricity from wind.
  Several healthcare companies, including Atherogenics2 and Kosan Biosciences2, also rose as they both hit product development milestones. However, two other healthcare-related businesses hurt the Balanced Fund’s returns during the period. Surmodics2, a manufacturer of surface coatings for surgical devices, declined, as did Conceptus2, the maker of a proprietary, non-incisional, permanent birth control device for women called Essure.

As of January 31, 2004, the bond portfolio represented 30.03% of the Balanced Fund’s portfolio. The combination of low interest rates and an improving economy created a positive environment for high-yield bonds, especially those with improving business fundamentals. However, many of the companies whose bonds were held by the Balanced Fund may soon be in a position to refinance their debt at lower interest rates. This significantly increases the probability that certain of the Balanced Fund’s bonds will be called in the near future. The Balanced Fund’s portfolio manager will then be faced with replacing them with fixed income securities with relatively lower yields.

Like other funds heavily invested in stocks, the Balanced Fund’s share price will fluctuate daily depending on the performance of the companies that comprise the Balanced Fund’s investments, the

 

2


general market and the economy overall. Furthermore, the Balanced Fund’s investments may be more focused in small companies, which involve greater risk than investing in the stocks of larger, more established companies. These greater risks may cause the share prices of small companies to be more volatile than the share prices of larger companies. Finally, the bond portion of the Balanced Fund’s investments is weighted toward high-yield, below-investment-grade bonds which also involve greater risk than investing in more highly rated bonds. As a result of the Balanced Fund’s holdings of small companies and high-yield bonds, the value of investments in the Balanced Fund have, in the past, fluctuated more widely than the value of most other balanced funds.

 

The Green Century Equity Fund invests substantially all of its assets in a portfolio of 400 companies that comprise the Domini 400 Social Index (the “Social Index”), a broadly diversified portfolio that excludes companies with poor environmental and social records. The Equity Fund seeks to provide shareholders with a long-term total return that matches that of the Social Index. The Social Index is comprised primarily of large capitalization U.S. Companies.

The Green Century Equity Fund was up 13.40% for the six months ended January 31, 2004, while the Standard & Poor’s 500® Index (S&P 500® Index) returned 15.23%.

The performance data quoted represents past performance and is not a guarantee of future results. Investment return and principal value of an investment will fluctuate so that an investor’s shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Current performance may be lower or higher than the performance information quoted. To obtain Fund prices and performance information as of the most recent month-end, call 1-800-93-GREEN. The performance data quoted does not reflect the deduction of taxes that some shareholders might pay on Fund distributions or the redemption of Fund shares.

The performance of the Equity Fund relative to the S&P 500® Index was helped in part by higher exposure to the top-performing sectors—information technology and consumer discretionary. Technology stocks led the market recovery in 2003. The top-performing stocks within the technology sector that helped the Equity Fund’s performance relative to the S&P 500® Index were Intel2, Cisco Systems2 and Texas Instruments2.

The performance of the Equity Fund relative to the S&P 500® Index was hurt in part by lower exposure to the energy and industrial sectors, each of which had strong six-month performance. The biggest contributors in each of these sectors were stocks not held by the Equity Fund but included in the S&P 500® Index: Exxon Mobil, Chevron Texaco, General Electric and Tyco International. Other stocks that hurt the Equity Fund’s relative performance were excluded stocks Altria Group and Pfizer Inc.

As with other equity funds, the share price of the Equity Fund will fluctuate and may fall if the market as a whole declines or if the value of the companies in which it invests falls. Also, the large

 

3


companies in which the Equity Fund’s portfolio is invested may perform worse than the stock market as a whole.

 

Shareholder Advocacy—Green Century Capital Management, Inc (Green Century) believes that investors have not only the right but also the duty to see that the corporations they own are not destroying the environment that supports all of us. We act on this belief by engaging select companies in a dialogue about how they can do better to protect the environment, and how doing so can benefit their business as well. Specifically, we made progress recently on two of our priority campaigns: protecting the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge from oil drilling and stopping the irresponsible disposal of e-waste, such as obsolete computers laden with toxic chemicals.

Green Century, in partnership with the United States Public Interest Research Group (U.S. PIRG), has been working to convince oil companies such as BP plc (BP)5 and ConocoPhillips5 to publicly support permanent protection from oil drilling for the Arctic Refuge. We are pleased to have progress to report on the campaign.

Based on BP’s recent public statements and plans, it appears to be moving the focus of its exploration and drilling efforts away from Alaska. Green Century believes BP’s withdrawal from the pro-drilling lobbying group, Arctic Power, supports this hypothesis. Green Century continues to encourage BP to support permanent protection for the Arctic Refuge at every opportunity, including a recent in-person meeting with company executives where they shared BP’s views on biodiversity and conservation issues. A Green Century representative will attend BP’s annual meeting in April 2004 to support a shareholder resolution filed with the company by a coalition of investors and environmental groups on this issue.

ConocoPhillips has among the largest drilling operations of any oil company on Alaska’s North Slope, and as a result is likely to be a potential player in any expanded drilling in this area, including any opening in the Arctic Refuge. The company, formed by the 2002 merger of Conoco and Phillips Petroleum, in our opinion, has been slow to engage with Green Century and other members of the responsible investment community. Green Century is the primary filer of a shareholder resolution with ConocoPhillips that asks for it to report on the potential consequences of drilling in the Arctic Refuge. These efforts have convinced ConocoPhillips to meet with Green Century and our coalition partners; a Green Century representative will travel to Houston, Texas in March 2004 for a meeting with senior ConocoPhillips executives. We are hopeful that this conversation will lead ConocoPhillips to take steps to help protect the Arctic Refuge.

Dell, Inc.2 (Dell) remains the focus of Green Century’s effort to rein-in the production of electronic waste, or e-waste, that is an increasingly critical environmental threat. Recent estimates suggest that there will soon be between 300 million and 600 million obsolete computers in the U.S, each containing lead, mercury, and other toxic chemicals; unless a system is developed to responsibly recycle or dispose of these computers, they will contaminate the environment and threaten public health. Green Century, in coalition with other responsible investors, has engaged in a dialogue with Dell to encourage it to take responsibility for its products throughout their lifecycle. Dell is expected to announce a set of goals for its computer recovery efforts this April.

 

New Initiatives to Inform and Protect Investors—Recently enacted Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) rules require that all mutual fund companies make available to their investors the policies and procedures that they use in voting proxies of shares in companies held by a fund. This initiative will enable mutual fund investors to see how their funds vote on issues of social and

 

4


environmental responsibility, corporate governance questions and more. For a free copy of Green Century’s Proxy Voting Policies and Procedures, please call 1-800-93-GREEN or visit www.greencentury.com. A copy of the Policies and Procedures can also be obtained free of charge by visiting the EDGAR database at the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov.

In an effort to protect the Funds’ long-term shareholders against short-term traders, Green Century instituted a redemption fee that is intended to discourage investors from moving in and out of the Funds quickly. If an investor redeems or exchanges shares within 60 days of purchase, a redemption fee equal to 2% of the net asset value of the shares redeemed or exchanged will be imposed. The fee does not apply to redemptions or exchanges of shares purchased prior to January 1, 2004 or acquired through the reinvestment of dividends or distributions. Deterring short-term traders may benefit the Funds’ other shareholders by reducing the risk that they could bear the higher costs, and possibly lower returns, caused by short-term traders. The proceeds of the redemption fee will be retained by the Funds for the benefit of the remaining shareholders.

In closing, Green Century wishes to thank you for your investment in the Funds and for your continued support of our work to help to protect the environment and build a sustainable economy.

 

Respectfully yours,

 

Green Century Capital Management, Inc.

 

2 As of January 31, 2004 Chiquita Brands Intl. comprised 7.14%, Whole Foods Market comprised 3.37%, Vestas Wind Systems comprised 3.01%, Quantum Fuel Systems Technologies Worldwide comprised 4.12%, Atherogenics comprised 5.21%, Kosan Biosciences comprised 1.56%, Surmodics comprised 4.33% and Conceptus comprised 2.51% of the Green Century Balanced Fund. As of January 31, 2004, Intel Corp comprised 3.49%, Cisco Systems comprised 3.09%, Texas Instruments comprised 0.95%, and Dell comprised 1.50% of the Green Century Equity Fund. Holdings may change due to ongoing management of the Funds. References to specific investments should not be construed as a recommendation of the security by the Funds, the adviser or the distributor.

3 The Green Century Equity Fund, which commenced investment operations in September 1995, invests substantially all of its investable assets in an existing separate registered investment company, which has the same investment objective as the Fund (the “Index Portfolio”). Consistent with regulatory guidance, the performance for the period prior to the Fund’s inception reflects the performance of the Index Portfolio adjusted to reflect the deduction of the charges and expenses of the Fund.

4 The S&P 500® Index is an unmanaged index of 500 selected common stocks, most of which are listed on the New York Stock Exchange. The S&P 500® Index is heavily weighted toward stocks with large market capitalizations and represents approximately two-thirds of the total market value of all domestic stocks. It is not possible to invest directly in the S&P 500® Index.

5 As of January 31, 2004 neither of the Green Century Funds held BP or ConocoPhillips.

GREEN CENTURY BALANCED FUND

GREEN CENTURY EQUITY FUND

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(unaudited)

 

NOTE 1 — Organization and Significant Accounting Policies

Green Century Funds (the “Trust”) is a Massachusetts business trust which offers two separate series, the Green Century Balanced Fund (the “Balanced Fund”) and the Green Century Equity Fund (the “Equity Fund”). The Trust is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “Act”), as an open-end management investment company. The Trust accounts separately for the assets, liabilities and operations of each series. The Balanced Fund commenced operations on March 18, 1992 and the Equity Fund commenced operations on September 13, 1995.

The Equity Fund invests substantially all of its assets in the Domini Social Index Portfolio (the “Index Portfolio”), an open-end, diversified management investment company having the same investment objective as the Fund. The Equity Fund accounts for its investment in the Index Portfolio as a partnership investment and records its share of the Index Portfolio’s income, expenses and realized and unrealized gains and losses daily. The value of such investment reflects the Fund’s proportionate interest in the net assets of the Index Portfolio (2.19% at January 31, 2004). The financial statements of the Index Portfolio are included elsewhere in this report and should be read in conjunction with the Equity Fund’s financial statements.

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

  (A) Balanced Fund Investment Valuation:    Equity securities listed on national securities exchanges other than NASDAQ are valued at last sale price. If a last sale price is not available, securities listed on national exchanges other than NASDAQ are valued at the mean between the closing bid and closing ask prices. NASDAQ National Market® and SmallCapSM securities are valued at the NASDAQ Official Closing Price (“NOCP”). The NOCP is based on the last traded price if it falls within the concurrent best bid and ask prices and is normalized pursuant to NASDAQ’s published procedures if it falls outside this range. If an NOCP is not available for any such security, the security is valued at the last sale price, or, if there have been no sales that day, at the mean between the closing bid and closing ask prices. Unlisted equity securities are valued at last sale price, or when last sale prices are not available, at the last quoted bid price. Debt securities (other than short-term obligations maturing in sixty days or less) are valued on the basis of valuations furnished by a pricing service which takes into account appropriate factors such as institution-size trading in similar groups of securities, yield, quality, coupon rate, maturity, type of issue, and other market data, without exclusive reliance on quoted prices or exchange or over-the-counter prices, since such valuations are believed to reflect more accurately the fair value of the securities. Securities, if any, for which there are no such valuations or quotations available are valued at fair value by management as determined in good faith under guidelines established by the Trustees. Short-term obligations maturing in sixty days or less are valued at amortized cost, which approximates market value.

Equity Fund Investment Valuation:    The Equity Fund records its investment in the Index Portfolio at fair value. Valuation of securities held by the Index Portfolio is discussed in Note 1 of the Index Portfolio’s Notes to Financial Statements which are included elsewhere in this report.

GREEN CENTURY BALANCED FUND

GREEN CENTURY EQUITY FUND

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (continued)

 

  (B) Balanced Fund Securities Transactions and Investment Income:    Securities transactions are recorded on a trade date basis. Realized gains and losses from securities transactions are determined using the identified cost basis. Interest income is recognized on the accrual basis and dividend income is recorded on ex-dividend date.

Equity Fund Securities Transactions, Investment Income and Expenses:    The Equity Fund records daily its proportionate share of the Index Portfolio’s income, expenses and realized and unrealized gains and losses. In addition, the Fund accrues its own expenses.

  (C) Options Transactions:    The Balanced Fund may utilize options to hedge or protect from adverse movements in the market values of its portfolio securities and to enhance return. The use of options may involve risks such as the possibility of illiquid markets or imperfect correlation between the value of the option and the underlying securities.

The Balanced Fund may write put or call options. Premiums received upon writing put or call options are recorded as an asset with a corresponding liability which is subsequently adjusted to the current market value of the option. Changes between the initial premiums received and the current market value of the options are recorded as unrealized gains or losses. When an option is closed, expired or exercised, a gain or loss is realized and the liability is eliminated. The Balanced Fund continues to bear the risk of adverse movements in the price of the underlying assets during the period of the option, although any potential loss during the period would be reduced by the amount of the option premium received. As required by the Act, liquid securities are designated as collateral in an amount equal to the market value of open options contracts.

  (D) Repurchase Agreements:    The Balanced Fund may enter into repurchase agreements with selected banks or broker-dealers. Each repurchase agreement is recorded at cost, which approximates fair value. The Balanced Fund requires that the collateral, represented by securities (primarily U.S. Government securities), in a repurchase transaction be maintained in a segregated account with a custodian bank in a manner sufficient to enable the Balanced Fund to obtain those securities in the event of a default of the counterparty.
  (E) Distributions:    Distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date. The Funds declare and pay dividends of net investment income, if any, semi-annually and distribute net realized capital gains, if any, annually. The amount and character of income and net realized gains to be distributed are determined in accordance with Federal income tax rules and regulations, which may differ from accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. To the extent that these differences are attributable to permanent book and tax accounting differences, the components of net assets have been adjusted.
  (F) Federal Taxes:    Each series of the Trust is treated as a separate entity for Federal income tax purposes. Each Fund’s policy is to comply with the provisions of the Internal Revenue Code applicable to regulated investment companies. Accordingly, no provisions for Federal income or excise tax are necessary.
  (G) Redemption Fee:    A 2.00% redemption fee is retained by the Funds to offset transaction costs and other expenses associated with short-term investing. The fee is imposed on redemptions or exchanges of shares held 60 days or less from their purchase date on all shares purchased on or after January 1, 2004. The Funds record the fee as a reduction of payments for shares redeemed and as a credit to paid-in capital. For the six months ended January 31, 2004, the Balanced Fund and Equity Fund received $487 and $0, respectively, in redemption fees.

Note 1 — Organization and Significant Accounting Policies

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

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

  (A) Valuation of Investments.    The Portfolio values securities listed or traded on national securities exchanges at the last sale price or, if there have been no sales that day, at the mean of the current bid and ask price which represents the current value of the security. Securities listed on the NASDAQ National Market System are valued using the NASDAQ Official Closing Price (the “NOCP”). If an NOCP is not available for a security listed on the NASDAQ National Market System, the security will be valued at the last sale price or, if there have been no sales that day, at the mean of the current bid and ask price. Portfolio securities 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 Portfolio’s Board of Trustees.
  (B) Dividend Income.    Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date.
  (C) Federal Taxes.    The Portfolio will be treated as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes and is therefore not subject to U.S. federal income tax. As such, each investor in the Portfolio will be taxed on its share of the Portfolio’s ordinary income and capital gains. It is intended that the Portfolio will be managed in such a way that an investor will be able to satisfy the requirements of the Internal Revenue Code applicable to regulated investment companies.
  (D) Other.    Investment transactions are accounted for on the trade date. Gains and losses are determined on the basis of identified cost.

For its services under the Management Agreement, Domini receives from the Portfolio a fee accrued daily and paid monthly at an annual rate equal to 0.20%.
  (B) Submanager.    SSgA Funds Management, Inc. (SSgA) provides investment submanagement services to the Portfolio on a day-to-day basis pursuant to a Submanagement Agreement with Domini. SSgA does not determine the composition of the Domini 400 Social Index.SM The Index’s composition is determined by KLD Research & Analytics, Inc.

 

Note 3 — Investment Transactions

 

For the six months ended January 31, 2004, cost of purchases and proceeds from sales of investments, other than U.S. government securities and short-term obligations, aggregated $76,161,052 and $42,372,053, respectively. For the six months ended January 31, 2004, custody fees of the Portfolio were reduced by $23,949, which was compensation for uninvested cash left on deposit with the custodian.
