NOTE 1 — Organization and Significant Accounting Policies

Green Century Funds (the “Trust”) is a Massachusetts business trust which offers three separate series, the Green Century Balanced Fund (the “Balanced Fund”), the Green Century Equity Fund (the “Equity Fund”) and the Green Century MSCI International Index Fund (the “MSCI International Index Fund”), each a “Fund” and collectively, the “Funds”. The Trust is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “Act”), as an open-end, diversified management investment company. The Trust accounts separately for the assets, liabilities and operations of each series. The Balanced Fund Investor Share Class commenced operations on March 18, 1992, the Balanced Fund Institutional Share Class commenced operations on November 30, 2020, the Equity Fund Individual Investor Share Class commenced operations on September 13, 1995, the Equity Fund Institutional Share Class commenced operations on April 30, 2018, and the Individual Investor Share Class and Institutional Share Class of the MSCI International Index Fund commenced operations on September 30, 2016.

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

Each 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 following is a summary of the Funds’ significant accounting policies:

 

  (A)

Investment Valuation: Equity securities listed on U.S. national securities exchanges other than NASDAQ are valued at last sale price. If a last sale price is not available, securities listed on U.S. 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 a 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 U.S. 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 certificates of deposit and short-term obligations maturing in sixty days or less) are valued on the basis of valuations furnished by an independent 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, exchange or over-the-counter prices. Certificates of deposit are valued at cost plus accrued interest, and short-term obligations maturing in sixty days or less are valued at amortized cost, both of which approximate fair value. Securities, if any, for which there are no such valuations or quotations available, or for which the market quotation or valuation provided by a pricing service is deemed not reliable, are valued at fair value by management as determined in good faith under guidelines established by the Trustees. Effective September 8, 2022, pursuant to Rule 2a-5 under the 1940 Act, the Board of Trustees has designated Green Century Capital Management, Inc. (“GCCM”) as a valuation designee (the “Valuation Designee”) to determine the fair value, in good faith, of securities and other instruments for which no readily available market quotation exists. As Valuation Designee, GCCM is

 

24


GREEN CENTURY FUNDS NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(unaudited)

  continued

 

  responsible for the supervision and implementation of the valuation process with respect to the Funds, subject to the Board’s oversight. GCCM will, among other things, (1) assess and manage material risks associated with fair value determinations; (2) select, apply and test fair value methodologies; and (3) oversee and evaluate pricing services used.

For non-U.S. securities traded in foreign markets, the MSCI International Index Fund uses a fair value model developed by an independent pricing service to assist in valuing those securities. If an event occurs after the time at which the market for foreign securities held by the Fund closes but before the time that the Fund’s next NAV is calculated, such event may cause the closing price on the foreign exchange to not represent the readily available reliable market value quotation for such securities at the time the Fund determines its NAV. In such a case, the Fund will use the fair value of such securities as determined under the Fund’s valuation procedures. Events after the close of trading on a foreign market that could require a Fund to fair value some or all of its foreign securities include, among others, securities trading in the U.S. and other markets, corporate announcements, natural and other disasters, and political and other events. Among other elements of analysis in the determination of a security’s fair value, the Board has authorized the use of one or more independent research services to assist with such determinations. An independent research service may use statistical analyses and quantitative models to help determine fair value as of the time the Fund calculates its NAV. There can be no assurance that such models accurately reflect the behavior of the applicable markets or the effect of the behavior of such markets on the fair value of securities, or that such markets will continue to behave in a fashion that is consistent with such models. Unlike the closing price of a security on an exchange, fair value determinations employ elements of judgment. Consequently, the fair value assigned to a security may not represent the actual value that the Fund could obtain if it were to sell the security at the time of the close of the NYSE. Pursuant to procedures adopted by the Board, the Fund is not obligated to use the fair valuations suggested by any research service, and valuation recommendations provided by such research services may be overridden if other events have occurred or if other fair valuations are determined in good faith to be more accurate. Unless an event is such that it causes the Fund to determine that the closing prices for one or more securities do not represent readily available reliable market value quotations at the time the Fund determines its NAV, events that occur between the time of the close of the foreign market on which they are traded and the close of regular trading on the NYSE will not be reflected in the Fund’s NAV.

In accordance with U.S. GAAP, fair value is defined as the price that each Fund would receive to sell an investment or pay to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction with an independent buyer in the principal market, or in the absence of a principal market the most advantageous market for the investment or liability. Various inputs are used in determining the value of the Fund’s investments. These inputs are summarized in the three broad levels listed below:

Level 1 — quoted prices for active markets for identical securities. An active market for the security is a market in which transactions occur with sufficient frequency and volume to provide pricing information on an ongoing basis. A quoted price in an active market provides the most reliable evidence of fair value.

Level 2 — other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.). Examples of level 2 inputs include 1) quoted prices for identical or similar assets in markets that are not active 2) investments valued at amortized cost and 3) investments valued with inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data. An adjustment to any observable input that is significant to the fair value may render the measurement a Level 3 measurement.

Level 3 — significant unobservable inputs, including the Funds’ own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments.

In some cases, the inputs used to measure the fair value of an asset or a liability might be categorized within different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In those cases, the fair value measurement is categorized in its entirety in the same level of the fair value hierarchy as the lowest level input that is significant to the entire measurement. The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.

There were no transfers into or out of Level 3 during the reporting period.

  (B)

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, including amortization of premiums and accretion of discounts on bonds, is recognized on the accrual basis and dividend income is recorded on ex-dividend date. Income, expenses and realized and unrealized gains and losses on investments are allocated to each class of shares in proportion to their relative shares outstanding.

  (C)

Currency Translations and Contracts: 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

 

27


GREEN CENTURY FUNDS NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

  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. When a Fund purchases or sells foreign securities, it enters 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 MSCI International Index Fund held open foreign currency spot contracts outstanding as of January 31, 2025 that are not considered investments. The MSCI International Index Fund held forward foreign currency exchange contracts (“Forward Contracts”) as of January 31, 2025 displayed in the Portfolio of Investments.

Cash, including cash denominated in foreign currencies, represents cash on hand held at major financial institutions and is subject to credit risk to the extent the balance exceeds applicable Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) or Securities Investor Protection Corporation (SIPC) limitations.

  (D)

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 U.S. GAAP. To the extent that these differences are attributable to permanent book and tax accounting differences, the components of net assets have been adjusted.

  (E)

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 (“RICs”). Accordingly, no provisions for Federal income or excise tax are necessary.

U.S. GAAP requires that all entities, including pass-through entities such as the Funds, establish a minimum threshold for financial statement recognition of the benefit of positions taken in filing tax returns (including whether an entity is taxable in a particular jurisdiction). The Funds recognize tax benefits only if it is more likely than not that a tax position (including the Funds’ assertion that their income is exempt from tax) will be sustained upon examination. The Funds had no material uncertain tax positions and have not recorded a liability for unrecognized tax benefits as of January 31, 2025. Also, the Funds had recognized no interest and penalties related to uncertain tax benefits through January 31, 2025. At January 31, 2025, the tax years 2021 through 2024 remain open to examination by the Internal Revenue Service.

  (F)

Redemption Fee: A 2.00% redemption fee is retained by the Funds to offset the effect of 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. For the six months ended January 31, 2025, the Balanced Fund, Equity Fund and MSCI International Index Fund received $2,963, $8,946, and $6,214 respectively, in redemption fees. Redemption fees are recorded as an adjustment to paid-in capital.

  (G)

Indemnification: The Funds’ organizational documents provide that trustees and officers are indemnified against certain liabilities arising out of 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. As of January 31, 2025, no liability has been accrued.

  (H)

Offsetting of Assets and Liabilities: As of January 31, 2025, there are no master netting arrangements related to the Funds. The Funds’ Statements of Assets and Liabilities present derivative instruments on a gross basis, if applicable. As of January 31, 2025, no derivative instruments with master netting arrangements were held by the Funds.

NOTE 2 — Transactions With Affiliates

  (A)

Investment Adviser: GCCM is the adviser (“the Adviser”) for the Funds. Green Century is owned by Paradigm Partners. Green Century oversees the portfolio management of the Funds on a day-to-day basis.

NOTE 7 — Segment Reporting

Operating segments are components of an entity that engage in business activities, have discrete financial information available, and have their operating results regularly reviewed by a chief operating decision maker (“CODM”) when assessing segment performance and making decisions about segment resources. Officers of the Advisor act as the Funds’ CODM. The Funds’ operations are managed to a single investment objective, as detailed in its prospectus, through the execution of the Funds’ investment strategies. The Funds’ portfolio composition, total returns, expense ratios and changes in net assets used by the CODM to assess segment performance and make resource allocations are consistent with the information presented within the Funds’ Financial Statements. The accompanying Financial Statements detail the Funds’ segment assets, liabilities, income, and expenses.

The accounting policies of the segment are the same as those described in the summary of significant accounting policies. The financial statements include all details of the segment assets, segment revenue and expenses; and reflect the financial results of the segment.

REPORT OF TRUSTEES REGARDING 2024 CONTRACT APPROVAL

 

The Board of Trustees of the Green Century Funds (the “Board” or the “Trustees”) considered and approved the continuation of the Funds’ advisory and subadvisory agreements.

INVESTMENT ADVISORY AGREEMENTS

The Trustees, including the Trustees who are not “interested persons” (as defined in Section 2(a)(19) of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended) (the “Independent Trustees”), voted to approve the continuance of the Investment Advisory Agreements, as amended (the “Advisory Agreements”) between the Trust, on behalf of each of the Balanced Fund, the Equity Fund, and the International Fund and Green Century Capital Management (“Green Century” or the “Adviser”) at the November 14, 2024 meeting. The Trustees considered, among other things, information provided by Green Century regarding the investment performance of each Fund; the expenses of each Fund and the advisory fee paid to Green Century by each Fund; and the profitability to Green Century of its advisory relationship with each Fund. The Independent Trustees were assisted by independent counsel in considering these materials and the approval and continuance of the Advisory Agreements. The Trustees considered all of the information provided to them by Green Century, including information provided at Board meetings throughout the year and in connection with other communications and discussions with Green Century. The Independent Trustees also received a memorandum from independent legal counsel advising them of their duties and responsibilities in connection with the review of the Advisory Agreements. The Trustees met with representatives of Green Century at the Trustees’ November 14, 2024 meeting to discuss matters related to the continuation of the Advisory Agreements. Prior to voting, the Independent Trustees met with their independent counsel in private sessions at which no representatives of management were present. In approving the Advisory Agreements, the Independent Trustees did not identify any single factor as determinative. Matters considered in connection with their approval of the Advisory Agreements included the following.

Nature, Quality, and Extent of Services Performed. The Trustees considered the scope and quality of the services performed for each of the Funds by the Adviser, including the resources dedicated by the Adviser.

With respect to the Balanced Fund, the services performed include the oversight and monitoring of the portfolio management and performance of the Balanced Fund; monitoring the implementation of the Balanced Fund’s environmental screens; implementing the environmental and other policies of the Trust by voting the Balanced Fund’s shareholder proxies independently and without reliance on third-party proxy advisory firms; and overall compliance oversight provided by the Adviser. The Trustees also considered the Adviser’s supervision of Trillium Asset Management, LLC (“Trillium”), the subadviser of the Balanced Fund, which performs the day-to-day portfolio management for the Fund.

With respect to the Equity Fund and the International Fund, these services include monitoring the Equity Fund’s performance and tracking error relative to the MSCI KLD 400 Social ex Fossil Fuels Index (the “MSCI KLD Index”); monitoring the International Fund’s performance and tracking error relative to the MSCI World ex USA SRI ex Fossil Fuels Index (the “MSCI World Index”); implementing the environmental and other policies of the Trust by voting the Equity Fund’s and the International Fund’s shareholder proxies independently and without reliance on third-party proxy advisory firms; and overall compliance oversight provided by the Adviser. The Trustees also considered the Adviser’s supervision of Northern Trust Investments, Inc. (“Northern Trust”), the subadviser of the Equity Fund and the International Fund, which performs day-to-day portfolio management for those two Funds.

In addition, the Trustees considered the Adviser’s mission to promote corporate environmental responsibility and to foster a sustainable economy, implemented in part by its commitment with respect to shareholder advocacy for more environmentally responsible policies and practices at major corporations. They took into account the not-for-profit ownership of the Adviser’s business, including its history of making grants to non-profit organizations out of its own

 

36


resources and the fact that any distribution of profits by the Adviser are paid to its 100% owner, Paradigm Partners, which is comprised entirely of nonprofit environmental and public interest advocacy organizations so that no for-profit corporations directly benefit from the distributed earned profits of the Adviser. The Trustees noted that the organizations under Paradigm Partners advocate for critical public health and environmental campaigns. The Trustees considered the Adviser’s distribution of profits in recent years and acknowledged the long-term commitment from Paradigm Partners over the 30+ years since the Trust was created. The Trustees also acknowledged their appreciation of the Funds’ new chief compliance officer and the effort undertaken by management to engage the new chief compliance officer. They also evaluated the administrative services provided by Green Century to the Funds under a separate agreement, including the coordination of the activities of the Funds’ other service providers. Based on its review of all of the services provided, the Trustees concluded that the nature, quality, and extent of services provided by the Adviser supported the continuance of the Advisory Agreements with respect to each Fund.

Investment Performance. With respect to the Balanced Fund, the Trustees reviewed and considered information regarding the investment performance of the Balanced Fund and comparative data with respect to the performance of other funds designated by Morningstar to have similar investment objectives as well as the Balanced Fund’s performance measured against the Lipper Balanced Fund Index (“Lipper Index”), which is a broad-based balanced fund market index, and against a custom balanced index (“Custom Index”) comprised of a 60% weighting in the S&P 1500 Index and a 40% weighting in the BofA Merrill Lynch 1-10 Year US Corporate and Government Index. In addition, the Trustees took into account the performance information they had been provided throughout the year. After weighing all the factors deemed appropriate, including the environmental screens applied to the Fund’s investment process, the Trustees concluded that the performance of the Balanced Fund supported the continuance of the Advisory Agreement with respect to the Balanced Fund.

With respect to the Equity Fund and the International Fund, the Trustees considered that due to each Fund’s passive investment strategy, the principal concern with regard to investment performance was the extent to which each Fund tracked its respective index. After considering all the factors deemed appropriate, the Trustees concluded that the performance of the Equity Fund and the International Fund supported the continuance of the respective Advisory Agreement.

The Costs of Services Provided and Profitability. The Trustees considered the costs of the services provided to the Funds and the profitability to the Adviser from its arrangements with the Funds.

The Trustees reviewed and considered an analysis of the advisory fees and total expenses ratios of each Fund and comparative data for multiple categories of mutual funds included in and as defined by Morningstar’s mutual fund database of thousands of mutual funds. In addition, the Trustees considered comparative advisory fee and expense ratio information provided by Green Century relating to a smaller set of peer funds identified by Green Century. The Trustees took into account, among other things, the distinct nature of the Funds as compared with peer funds, particularly with respect to the Funds’ social investing, the non-profit ownership of the Adviser, and the Adviser’s advocacy efforts and how those characteristics distinguished the Funds from their peers. The Trustees considered the size of Green Century and that Green Century was not at the same operational scale as most competitors, The Trustees also noted that, based on information provided by Green Century, competitors to the Equity Fund include actively managed funds in addition to index funds.

With respect to the Morningstar peer groups, for the Balanced Fund, the Trustees observed that, based on the information provided, the Fund’s advisory fee for the Individual Investor Class was higher than the average advisory fee for sustainable investment funds (by 11 basis points), sustainable investment balanced funds (by 15 basis points), all balanced funds (by 16 basis points) and balanced funds with assets between $300 million and $400 million (by 9 basis points). The Trustees also noted that the total expense ratio for the Individual Investor Class of the Balanced Fund was

 

37


effectively capped at 1.46% through the application of a “unitary administrative fee” paid to Green Century, and that the total expense ratio was higher than that of the average of sustainable investment funds (by 55 basis points), sustainable investment balanced funds (by 39 basis points), all balanced funds (by 53 basis points) and balanced funds with assets between $300 million and $400 million (by 45 basis points).

For the Equity Fund, the Trustees observed that, based on the information provided, the Fund’s advisory fee for the Individual Investor Class was lower than the average advisory fee for sustainable investment funds (by 30 basis points), sustainable investment large growth funds (by 36 basis points), all large growth funds (by 44 basis points), large growth funds with assets between $600 million and $700 million (by 31 basis points) and large growth index funds (by 28 basis points). The Trustees also noted that the total expense ratio of Individual Investor Class of the Equity Fund was effectively capped at 1.20% through the application of a “unitary administrative fee” paid to Green Century, and that effective March 1, 2024, Green Century had contractually reduced the administrative fee for each share class of the Equity Fund by five basis points. The Trustees noted that the total expense ratio was higher than the average of sustainable investment funds (by 29 basis points), sustainable investment large growth funds (by 17 basis points) and all large growth funds (by 3 basis points) and large growth funds with assets between $600 million and $700 million (by 18 basis points), and was lower than the average of large growth index funds (by 3 basis points).

For the International Fund, the Trustees noted that, based on the information provided, the Fund’s advisory fee for the Individual Investor Class was lower than that of the average advisory fee for sustainable investment funds (by 24 basis points), sustainable investment foreign large blend funds (by 32 basis points), all foreign large blend funds (by 33 basis points) and foreign large blend funds with assets between $100 million and $200 million (by 40 basis points) and was higher than the average advisory fee for foreign large blend index funds (by 13 basis points). The Trustees also noted that the total expense ratio of Individual Investor Class shares of the International Fund was effectively capped at 1.28% through the application of a “unitary administrative fee” paid to Green Century, and that the total expense ratio was higher than that of the average of sustainable investment funds (by 37 basis points), sustainable investment foreign large blend funds (by 31 basis points), all foreign large blend funds (by 23 basis points), foreign large blend index funds (by 90 basis points) and was lower than the average of foreign large blend funds with assets between $100 million and $200 million (by 9 basis points).

Green Century provided the Trustees with information relating to the profitability to Green Century of its advisory relationships to the Funds. The Trustees noted that, based on information provided by Green Century, the relationships to the Funds had been unprofitable for the earlier years of the Trust, though recent growth in Fund assets resulted in a profit for the Adviser’s fiscal year ended June 30, 2015 and increasing levels of profit for subsequent periods through the Adviser’s fiscal year ended June 30, 2024. The Trustees considered an analysis of the estimated Fund-by-Fund profitability for Green Century from the investment management and administrative service it provides to the Trust, which showed that the Adviser had made a profit from managing each Fund for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2024. In this regard, the Independent Trustees considered the subadvisory fees and the other expenses incurred by the Adviser in providing advisory services to the Funds and the amount retained by Green Century out of the advisory fees. The Trustees also considered the fees received by Green Century for providing administrative services to the Funds and the expenses incurred in providing those services. In considering the cost allocation methodology used by Green Century, the Trustees took into consideration that the Adviser derives all of its revenues from the Funds and does not provide advisory or administrative services to other mutual funds or to non-mutual fund clients. The Trustees considered the costs and entrepreneurial risks assumed by the Adviser in connection with launching, branding and maintaining publicly-offered mutual funds and that the Adviser had been unprofitable for nine of the last twenty fiscal years. The Trustees took into account the operational enhancements that Green Century had indicated it would need to undertake in connection with the growth of Fund assets, the addition of new share classes, and the expansion into different types of assets. The Trustees also considered Green Century’s non-profit ownership structure, its cost structure and personnel needs, and its investment in shareholder advocacy that aligns with the Funds’ stated intention to promote greater

 

38


corporate environmental accountability. The Trustees also took into account that, as disclosed in the Funds’ prospectus, Green Century may provide grants and other funding to non-profit advocacy organizations to support their campaign work on wilderness protection, environmental protection, clean energy and other public benefit issues. After reviewing the information described above, the Trustees concluded that the fees specified in the Advisory Agreements, taking into account the costs of the services provided by the Adviser and the profitability to the Adviser of its relationships with the Funds, supported the continuance of the Advisory Agreements with respect to the Funds.

Other Benefits. With respect to fall-out benefits from the Adviser’s arrangements with the Funds, the Trustees considered that neither Green Century nor any affiliate of Green Century receives any brokerage fees, soft dollar benefits, liquidity rebates from electronic communications networks or payments for order flow from the trades executed for each Fund. The Trustees noted that Green Century does potentially benefit from its relationship with the Funds due to the Funds’ reputation as the first family of no-load environmentally responsible mutual funds and, more recently, as a pioneer in responsible and diversified fossil fuel free mutual funds. The Trustees considered that the association with the Funds supports Green Century’s own stated mission of advocating for corporate environmental responsibility. Further, pursuant to the Advisory Agreements, Green Century has reserved for itself the rights to the names “Green Century Funds” and any similar names; thus, Green Century may benefit in the future from developing other funds or investment products with the Green Century brand. The Trustees considered these fall-out benefits in context of the Adviser’s non-profit ownership structure and its history of providing grants and other funding to non-profit advocacy organizations. The Trustees concluded that the fall-out benefits to be realized by Green Century were appropriate.

Economies of Scale. The Trustees also considered whether economies of scale could be realized by the Adviser as the Funds grow in asset size and the extent to which such economies of scale were reflected in the level of fees charged. They noted the relatively small size of each Fund and the resultant difficulty of achieving meaningful economies of scale, though they took into account the effects of significant increases in Fund and Trust assets over the past few years, building upon what had historically been a very small base. They considered that if the assets were to increase further, the Funds could have the opportunity to experience economies of scale as fixed costs would become a smaller percentage of the Funds’ assets and some of the Funds’ service providers’ fees, as a percentage of the Funds’ assets, could decrease. The Trustees noted that the advisory fee structure for each of the Equity Fund and the Balanced Fund includes breakpoints that would cause the advisory fee to decrease as a percentage of net assets as the Fund increased in size, though under certain circumstances the structure of the Equity Fund’s unitary administrative fee arrangement with the Adviser offsets the effects of any advisory fee reduction on the total expense ratio. The Trustees noted that, effective March 1, 2024, Green Century had contractually reduced the administrative fee for each share class of the Equity Fund by five basis points. The Trustees also considered information provided by Green Century regarding how it seeks to reinvest its higher fee revenues from economies of scale into augmenting the quality and sophistication of its business in support of the Funds. The Trustees concluded that, in light of all of the facts and circumstances, breakpoints were not warranted at this time, and that if assets increased significantly the Trustees would have opportunities to negotiate further breakpoints or other decreases in fees with the Adviser.

Based on a review of all factors deemed relevant the Trustees, including the Independent Trustees, concluded that the Advisory Agreements with respect to all of the Funds should be continued for an additional one-year period.

INVESTMENT SUBADVISORY AGREEMENTS

The Trustees, including the Independent Trustees voted to approve the continuance of the subadvisory agreement between the Trust, on behalf of the Balanced Fund, Green Century, and Trillium, as amended (the “Balanced Fund Subadvisory Agreement”), the continuance of the subadvisory agreements among Green Century, Northern Trust and the Trust, on behalf of the Equity Fund (the “Equity Fund Subadvisory Agreement”) and the International Fund (the “International Fund Subadvisory Agreement” and together with the Balanced Fund Subadvisory Agreement and the

 

39


Equity Fund Subadvisory Agreement, the “Subadvisory Agreements”) at the November 14, 2024 meeting. In connection with their deliberations at the meetings, the Trustees considered, among other things, information provided by Trillium regarding the investment performance of the Balanced Fund, and information provided by Northern Trust regarding the investment performance of the Equity Fund (including the success with which the Equity Fund tracked the MSCI KLD Index) and the International Fund (including the success with which the International Fund tracked the MSCI World Index), the subadvisory fees paid to Trillium and Northern Trust, the profitability to Trillium of its subadvisory relationship to the Balanced Fund and financial information about Northern Trust. The Independent Trustees were assisted by independent counsel in considering these materials and the continuance of the Subadvisory Agreements. The Trustees considered all of the information provided to them by Trillium and Northern Trust, including information provided throughout the year. The Independent Trustees also received a memorandum from independent legal counsel advising them of their duties and responsibilities in connection with the contract review. The Trustees met with representatives of Trillium and Northern Trust at the Trustees’ November 14, 2024 meeting to discuss matters related to the continuation of the Subadvisory Agreements. Prior to voting, the Independent Trustees met with their independent counsel in private sessions at which no representatives of management were present. In approving the continuance of the Subadvisory Agreements the Trustees did not identify any single factor as determinative. Matters considered in connection with their approval of the Subadvisory Agreements included the following.

Nature, Quality, and Extent of Services Performed. The Trustees noted that under the terms of the Balanced Fund Subadvisory Agreement, Trillium provided the day-to-day portfolio management of the Balanced Fund, including determining asset and sector allocation; conducting securities selection and discovery; researching and analyzing environmental policies and practices of companies and implementing the Balanced Fund’s environmental screening criteria; managing the volatility, liquidity, risk, and turnover of the portfolio; and investing the portfolio consistent with the Balanced Fund’s investment objective and policies. The Trustees considered the professional expertise, tenure, and qualifications of the portfolio management team and noted that Trillium was devoted exclusively to environmentally and socially responsible investing and managed over $4 billion in assets. The Trustees also noted the recent staff turnover at Trillium and Trillium’s efforts to address the turnover as well as recent public announcements of potential corporate activity at Trillium’s Australian parent company. The Trustees also considered Trillium’s compliance record as well as the professional experience and responsiveness of Trillium’s compliance staff, as reported to them by the Trust’s chief compliance officer. The Trustees also considered Trillium’s leadership in social and environmental responsibility, including its shareholder advocacy efforts.

The Trustees noted that under the terms of the Equity Fund Subadvisory Agreement and the International Fund Subadvisory Agreement, Northern Trust provided the day-to-day portfolio management of each of the Equity Fund and the International Fund, making purchases and sales of portfolio securities consistent with each such Fund’s investment objective and policies and with changes to the applicable index. The Trustees considered the professional expertise, tenure, and qualifications of the portfolio management team as well as the team’s experience in passive management. The Trustees also considered Northern Trust’s handling of daily inflows and outflows, transaction costs, tracking error, and the portfolio turnover rates for each of the Equity Fund and the International Fund. The Trustees also considered Northern Trust’s compliance record as well as the professional experience and responsiveness of Northern Trust’s compliance staff, as reported to them by the Trust’s chief compliance officer.

Based on its review of all of the services provided and to be provided, the Trustees concluded that the nature, quality, and extent of services provided by Trillium and Northern Trust, respectively, supported the continuance of the Subadvisory Agreements.

Investment Performance. The Trustees reviewed and considered information regarding the investment performance of the Individual Investor Class of the Balanced Fund and comparative data with respect to the performance of mutual funds with similar investment objectives as well as other broad-based market indexes. The Trustees noted that as of

 

40


periods ended July 31, 2024, the Balanced Fund’s five- and ten-year average annual returns outperformed the Lipper Index and its one-and three-year average annual returns underperformed the Lipper Index. The Trustees also noted that as of periods ended July 31, 2024, the Balanced Fund’s one-, three-, five- and ten-year average annual returns underperformed the Custom Index. After considering all the factors deemed appropriate, the Trustees concluded that the performance of the Balanced Fund together with Trillium’s investment process, philosophies and experience in environmental and sustainable investing, supported the continuance of the Balanced Fund Subadvisory Agreement.

With respect to the Equity Fund and the International Fund, the Trustees considered that due to each Fund’s passive investment strategy, the principal concern with regard to investment performance was the extent to which the Fund tracked its respective index. The Trustees reviewed the performance of the Individual Investor Class shares of the Equity Fund as compared to that of the MSCI KLD Index for the twelve-month period ended July 31, 2024, and noted that the Equity Fund’s performance underperformed that of the MSCI KLD Index. In particular, they observed that, after taking into consideration the fees and expenses of the Individual Investor Class shares, for the one-year period the Equity Fund’s performance was in line with that of the MSCI KLD Index. After considering all the factors deemed appropriate, the Trustees concluded that the performance of the Equity Fund together with Northern Trust’s investment process and experience in passive portfolio management supported the continuance of the Equity Fund Subadvisory Agreement. The Trustees reviewed the performance of the Individual Investor Class shares of the International Fund, exclusive of the expenses of the class, as compared to that of the MSCI World Index for the twelve-month period ended July 31, 2024, and noted that the Fund’s performance underperformed that of the MSCI World Index. The Trustees took into account that the non-U.S. nature of the securities in which the International Fund invests and the Fund’s fees and expenses have an impact on the Fund’s tracking error. After considering all the factors they deemed appropriate, the Trustees concluded that the performance of the International Fund together with Northern Trust’s investment process and experience in passive portfolio management supported the continuance of the International Fund Subadvisory Agreement.

Costs of Services Provided and Profitability. The Trustees considered that the subadvisory fees paid by Green Century to Trillium under the Balanced Fund Subadvisory Agreement were 0.40% of the value of the average daily net assets of the Balanced Fund up to $30 million, 0.35% of the value of the average daily net assets of the Balanced Fund in excess of $30 million up to $250 million, and 0.30% of the value of the average daily net assets of the Balanced Fund in excess of $250 million.

In evaluating the profitability of the Subadvisory Agreement to Trillium, the Trustees noted that based on information provided by Trillium, the relationship was profitable. The Trustees considered the financial resources Trillium dedicated and the other expenses Trillium incurred in providing subadvisory services to the Balanced Fund, including startup costs relating to the relationship, and additional personnel, legal, trading analysis and compliance costs required in the context of providing subadvisory services to a mutual fund. The Trustees took into account that Trillium is the investment adviser or sub-adviser to other mutual funds and to non-fund clients.

The Trustees considered that the subadvisory fees paid by Green Century to Northern Trust under the Equity Fund Subadvisory Agreement were effectively an annual fee equal to 0.10% of the value of the average daily net assets of the Equity Fund up to but not including $50 million, 0.05% of the value of the average daily net assets of the Equity Fund from and including $50 million up to but not including $100 million, and 0.03% of the value of the average daily net assets of the Equity Fund equal to or in excess of $100 million.

The Trustees considered that that the subadvisory fees paid by Green Century to Northern Trust under the International Fund Subadvisory Agreement were effectively an annual fee equal to 0.17% of the value of the average daily net assets of the Fund up to but not including $50 million, 0.12% of the average daily net assets of the Fund from and including $50 million up to but not including $100 million, and 0.08% of the average daily net assets of the Fund equal to or in excess of $100 million.

 

41


The Trustees reviewed and considered an analysis of the subadvisory fees for the Equity Fund and the International Fund against comparative data for mutual funds subadvised by Northern Trust with a similar investment strategy and asset size. The Trustees noted that each Fund paid subadvisory fees at effective rates comparable to those paid to Northern Trust by funds having similar strategies that Northern Trust manages with similar levels of net assets. In evaluating the profitability of each of the Equity Fund Subadvisory Agreement and International Fund Subadvisory Agreement to Northern Trust, the Trustees noted that Northern Trust does not calculate earnings at the subadvisory client level.

The Trustees also considered that the subadvisory fees are paid by Green Century, and are not in addition to the advisory fees paid to Green Century by the Funds.

After reviewing the information described above, the Trustees concluded that the fees specified in the Subadvisory Agreements, taking into account the nature and quality of services provided and the costs of the services provided by Trillium and Northern Trust as applicable, supported the continuance of the Subadvisory Agreements.

Other Benefits. The Trustees evaluated potential other benefits that each of Trillium and Northern Trust may realize from its relationship with the applicable Fund(s). The Trustees considered the brokerage practices of Trillium, including the soft dollar commissions that were generated with respect to the Balanced Fund’s portfolio transactions. The Trustees considered that Trillium was not affiliated with a broker/dealer and therefore no benefit would be realized by Trillium through transactions with affiliated brokers. The Trustees also considered the brokerage practices of Northern Trust, including that Northern Trust does not trade for the Equity Fund or the International Fund through its affiliated broker. The Trustees also considered that no soft dollars have been paid in connection with Northern Trust’s management of the Equity Fund and the International Fund.

The Trustees further considered the reputational and other advantages that each of Trillium and Northern Trust may gain from its relationship with the applicable Fund(s), including that Northern Trust’s management of the Equity Fund and the International Fund will broaden its exposure to the socially responsible mutual fund market. The Trustees concluded that the benefits received by each of Trillium and Northern Trust were reasonable in the context of its relationship with the applicable Fund(s).

Economies of Scale. The Trustees also considered whether economies of scale would be realized by each of Trillium and Northern Trust as the Funds grow in asset size and the extent to which such economies of scale might be reflected in the subadvisory fees. They noted the relatively small size of each Fund (compared with similar funds in the industry) and the resultant difficulty of achieving meaningful economies of scale, despite the effects of significant increases in Fund and Trust assets over the past few years. They considered that if the assets were to increase further, Trillium and Northern Trust could have the opportunity to experience economies of scale. They also noted that, pursuant to the Balanced Fund Subadvisory Agreement, the overall subadvisory fees paid to Trillium by Green Century (out of the advisory fee that Green Century receives from the Fund, which is subject to a breakpoint) include breakpoints at $30 million and $250 million, so that fees as a percentage of net assets decrease modestly (from 40 basis points towards 30 basis points) as assets in the Balanced Fund increase. They also noted that pursuant to the Equity Fund Subadvisory Agreement and the International Fund Subadvisory Agreement, the overall subadvisory fees paid to Northern Trust by Green Century (out of the advisory fee that Green Century receives from the applicable Fund, which, for the Equity Fund, is subject to breakpoints) include breakpoints at $50 million and $100 million, so that fees as a percentage of net assets decrease as assets in the Equity Fund and the International Fund increase. The Trustees concluded that economies of scale could be realized as the Funds grow, and that the fee schedules as specified were appropriate, and supported the continuance of the Subadvisory Agreements.

Based on a review of all factors deemed relevant, the Trustees, including the Independent Trustees, concluded that all of the Subadvisory Agreements should be continued for an additional one-year period.

REPORT OF TRUSTEES REGARDING 2024 CONTRACT APPROVAL

 

The Board of Trustees of the Green Century Funds (the “Board” or the “Trustees”) considered and approved the continuation of the Funds’ advisory and subadvisory agreements.

INVESTMENT ADVISORY AGREEMENTS

The Trustees, including the Trustees who are not “interested persons” (as defined in Section 2(a)(19) of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended) (the “Independent Trustees”), voted to approve the continuance of the Investment Advisory Agreements, as amended (the “Advisory Agreements”) between the Trust, on behalf of each of the Balanced Fund, the Equity Fund, and the International Fund and Green Century Capital Management (“Green Century” or the “Adviser”) at the November 14, 2024 meeting. The Trustees considered, among other things, information provided by Green Century regarding the investment performance of each Fund; the expenses of each Fund and the advisory fee paid to Green Century by each Fund; and the profitability to Green Century of its advisory relationship with each Fund. The Independent Trustees were assisted by independent counsel in considering these materials and the approval and continuance of the Advisory Agreements. The Trustees considered all of the information provided to them by Green Century, including information provided at Board meetings throughout the year and in connection with other communications and discussions with Green Century. The Independent Trustees also received a memorandum from independent legal counsel advising them of their duties and responsibilities in connection with the review of the Advisory Agreements. The Trustees met with representatives of Green Century at the Trustees’ November 14, 2024 meeting to discuss matters related to the continuation of the Advisory Agreements. Prior to voting, the Independent Trustees met with their independent counsel in private sessions at which no representatives of management were present. In approving the Advisory Agreements, the Independent Trustees did not identify any single factor as determinative. Matters considered in connection with their approval of the Advisory Agreements included the following.

Nature, Quality, and Extent of Services Performed. The Trustees considered the scope and quality of the services performed for each of the Funds by the Adviser, including the resources dedicated by the Adviser.

With respect to the Balanced Fund, the services performed include the oversight and monitoring of the portfolio management and performance of the Balanced Fund; monitoring the implementation of the Balanced Fund’s environmental screens; implementing the environmental and other policies of the Trust by voting the Balanced Fund’s shareholder proxies independently and without reliance on third-party proxy advisory firms; and overall compliance oversight provided by the Adviser. The Trustees also considered the Adviser’s supervision of Trillium Asset Management, LLC (“Trillium”), the subadviser of the Balanced Fund, which performs the day-to-day portfolio management for the Fund.

With respect to the Equity Fund and the International Fund, these services include monitoring the Equity Fund’s performance and tracking error relative to the MSCI KLD 400 Social ex Fossil Fuels Index (the “MSCI KLD Index”); monitoring the International Fund’s performance and tracking error relative to the MSCI World ex USA SRI ex Fossil Fuels Index (the “MSCI World Index”); implementing the environmental and other policies of the Trust by voting the Equity Fund’s and the International Fund’s shareholder proxies independently and without reliance on third-party proxy advisory firms; and overall compliance oversight provided by the Adviser. The Trustees also considered the Adviser’s supervision of Northern Trust Investments, Inc. (“Northern Trust”), the subadviser of the Equity Fund and the International Fund, which performs day-to-day portfolio management for those two Funds.

In addition, the Trustees considered the Adviser’s mission to promote corporate environmental responsibility and to foster a sustainable economy, implemented in part by its commitment with respect to shareholder advocacy for more environmentally responsible policies and practices at major corporations. They took into account the not-for-profit ownership of the Adviser’s business, including its history of making grants to non-profit organizations out of its own

 


resources and the fact that any distribution of profits by the Adviser are paid to its 100% owner, Paradigm Partners, which is comprised entirely of nonprofit environmental and public interest advocacy organizations so that no for-profit corporations directly benefit from the distributed earned profits of the Adviser. The Trustees noted that the organizations under Paradigm Partners advocate for critical public health and environmental campaigns. The Trustees considered the Adviser’s distribution of profits in recent years and acknowledged the long-term commitment from Paradigm Partners over the 30+ years since the Trust was created. The Trustees also acknowledged their appreciation of the Funds’ new chief compliance officer and the effort undertaken by management to engage the new chief compliance officer. They also evaluated the administrative services provided by Green Century to the Funds under a separate agreement, including the coordination of the activities of the Funds’ other service providers. Based on its review of all of the services provided, the Trustees concluded that the nature, quality, and extent of services provided by the Adviser supported the continuance of the Advisory Agreements with respect to each Fund.

Investment Performance. With respect to the Balanced Fund, the Trustees reviewed and considered information regarding the investment performance of the Balanced Fund and comparative data with respect to the performance of other funds designated by Morningstar to have similar investment objectives as well as the Balanced Fund’s performance measured against the Lipper Balanced Fund Index (“Lipper Index”), which is a broad-based balanced fund market index, and against a custom balanced index (“Custom Index”) comprised of a 60% weighting in the S&P 1500 Index and a 40% weighting in the BofA Merrill Lynch 1-10 Year US Corporate and Government Index. In addition, the Trustees took into account the performance information they had been provided throughout the year. After weighing all the factors deemed appropriate, including the environmental screens applied to the Fund’s investment process, the Trustees concluded that the performance of the Balanced Fund supported the continuance of the Advisory Agreement with respect to the Balanced Fund.

With respect to the Equity Fund and the International Fund, the Trustees considered that due to each Fund’s passive investment strategy, the principal concern with regard to investment performance was the extent to which each Fund tracked its respective index. After considering all the factors deemed appropriate, the Trustees concluded that the performance of the Equity Fund and the International Fund supported the continuance of the respective Advisory Agreement.

The Costs of Services Provided and Profitability. The Trustees considered the costs of the services provided to the Funds and the profitability to the Adviser from its arrangements with the Funds.

The Trustees reviewed and considered an analysis of the advisory fees and total expenses ratios of each Fund and comparative data for multiple categories of mutual funds included in and as defined by Morningstar’s mutual fund database of thousands of mutual funds. In addition, the Trustees considered comparative advisory fee and expense ratio information provided by Green Century relating to a smaller set of peer funds identified by Green Century. The Trustees took into account, among other things, the distinct nature of the Funds as compared with peer funds, particularly with respect to the Funds’ social investing, the non-profit ownership of the Adviser, and the Adviser’s advocacy efforts and how those characteristics distinguished the Funds from their peers. The Trustees considered the size of Green Century and that Green Century was not at the same operational scale as most competitors, The Trustees also noted that, based on information provided by Green Century, competitors to the Equity Fund include actively managed funds in addition to index funds.

With respect to the Morningstar peer groups, for the Balanced Fund, the Trustees observed that, based on the information provided, the Fund’s advisory fee for the Individual Investor Class was higher than the average advisory fee for sustainable investment funds (by 11 basis points), sustainable investment balanced funds (by 15 basis points), all balanced funds (by 16 basis points) and balanced funds with assets between $300 million and $400 million (by 9 basis points). The Trustees also noted that the total expense ratio for the Individual Investor Class of the Balanced Fund was

 


effectively capped at 1.46% through the application of a “unitary administrative fee” paid to Green Century, and that the total expense ratio was higher than that of the average of sustainable investment funds (by 55 basis points), sustainable investment balanced funds (by 39 basis points), all balanced funds (by 53 basis points) and balanced funds with assets between $300 million and $400 million (by 45 basis points).

For the Equity Fund, the Trustees observed that, based on the information provided, the Fund’s advisory fee for the Individual Investor Class was lower than the average advisory fee for sustainable investment funds (by 30 basis points), sustainable investment large growth funds (by 36 basis points), all large growth funds (by 44 basis points), large growth funds with assets between $600 million and $700 million (by 31 basis points) and large growth index funds (by 28 basis points). The Trustees also noted that the total expense ratio of Individual Investor Class of the Equity Fund was effectively capped at 1.20% through the application of a “unitary administrative fee” paid to Green Century, and that effective March 1, 2024, Green Century had contractually reduced the administrative fee for each share class of the Equity Fund by five basis points. The Trustees noted that the total expense ratio was higher than the average of sustainable investment funds (by 29 basis points), sustainable investment large growth funds (by 17 basis points) and all large growth funds (by 3 basis points) and large growth funds with assets between $600 million and $700 million (by 18 basis points), and was lower than the average of large growth index funds (by 3 basis points).

For the International Fund, the Trustees noted that, based on the information provided, the Fund’s advisory fee for the Individual Investor Class was lower than that of the average advisory fee for sustainable investment funds (by 24 basis points), sustainable investment foreign large blend funds (by 32 basis points), all foreign large blend funds (by 33 basis points) and foreign large blend funds with assets between $100 million and $200 million (by 40 basis points) and was higher than the average advisory fee for foreign large blend index funds (by 13 basis points). The Trustees also noted that the total expense ratio of Individual Investor Class shares of the International Fund was effectively capped at 1.28% through the application of a “unitary administrative fee” paid to Green Century, and that the total expense ratio was higher than that of the average of sustainable investment funds (by 37 basis points), sustainable investment foreign large blend funds (by 31 basis points), all foreign large blend funds (by 23 basis points), foreign large blend index funds (by 90 basis points) and was lower than the average of foreign large blend funds with assets between $100 million and $200 million (by 9 basis points).

Green Century provided the Trustees with information relating to the profitability to Green Century of its advisory relationships to the Funds. The Trustees noted that, based on information provided by Green Century, the relationships to the Funds had been unprofitable for the earlier years of the Trust, though recent growth in Fund assets resulted in a profit for the Adviser’s fiscal year ended June 30, 2015 and increasing levels of profit for subsequent periods through the Adviser’s fiscal year ended June 30, 2024. The Trustees considered an analysis of the estimated Fund-by-Fund profitability for Green Century from the investment management and administrative service it provides to the Trust, which showed that the Adviser had made a profit from managing each Fund for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2024. In this regard, the Independent Trustees considered the subadvisory fees and the other expenses incurred by the Adviser in providing advisory services to the Funds and the amount retained by Green Century out of the advisory fees. The Trustees also considered the fees received by Green Century for providing administrative services to the Funds and the expenses incurred in providing those services. In considering the cost allocation methodology used by Green Century, the Trustees took into consideration that the Adviser derives all of its revenues from the Funds and does not provide advisory or administrative services to other mutual funds or to non-mutual fund clients. The Trustees considered the costs and entrepreneurial risks assumed by the Adviser in connection with launching, branding and maintaining publicly-offered mutual funds and that the Adviser had been unprofitable for nine of the last twenty fiscal years. The Trustees took into account the operational enhancements that Green Century had indicated it would need to undertake in connection with the growth of Fund assets, the addition of new share classes, and the expansion into different types of assets. The Trustees also considered Green Century’s non-profit ownership structure, its cost structure and personnel needs, and its investment in shareholder advocacy that aligns with the Funds’ stated intention to promote greater

 


corporate environmental accountability. The Trustees also took into account that, as disclosed in the Funds’ prospectus, Green Century may provide grants and other funding to non-profit advocacy organizations to support their campaign work on wilderness protection, environmental protection, clean energy and other public benefit issues. After reviewing the information described above, the Trustees concluded that the fees specified in the Advisory Agreements, taking into account the costs of the services provided by the Adviser and the profitability to the Adviser of its relationships with the Funds, supported the continuance of the Advisory Agreements with respect to the Funds.

Other Benefits. With respect to fall-out benefits from the Adviser’s arrangements with the Funds, the Trustees considered that neither Green Century nor any affiliate of Green Century receives any brokerage fees, soft dollar benefits, liquidity rebates from electronic communications networks or payments for order flow from the trades executed for each Fund. The Trustees noted that Green Century does potentially benefit from its relationship with the Funds due to the Funds’ reputation as the first family of no-load environmentally responsible mutual funds and, more recently, as a pioneer in responsible and diversified fossil fuel free mutual funds. The Trustees considered that the association with the Funds supports Green Century’s own stated mission of advocating for corporate environmental responsibility. Further, pursuant to the Advisory Agreements, Green Century has reserved for itself the rights to the names “Green Century Funds” and any similar names; thus, Green Century may benefit in the future from developing other funds or investment products with the Green Century brand. The Trustees considered these fall-out benefits in context of the Adviser’s non-profit ownership structure and its history of providing grants and other funding to non-profit advocacy organizations. The Trustees concluded that the fall-out benefits to be realized by Green Century were appropriate.

Economies of Scale. The Trustees also considered whether economies of scale could be realized by the Adviser as the Funds grow in asset size and the extent to which such economies of scale were reflected in the level of fees charged. They noted the relatively small size of each Fund and the resultant difficulty of achieving meaningful economies of scale, though they took into account the effects of significant increases in Fund and Trust assets over the past few years, building upon what had historically been a very small base. They considered that if the assets were to increase further, the Funds could have the opportunity to experience economies of scale as fixed costs would become a smaller percentage of the Funds’ assets and some of the Funds’ service providers’ fees, as a percentage of the Funds’ assets, could decrease. The Trustees noted that the advisory fee structure for each of the Equity Fund and the Balanced Fund includes breakpoints that would cause the advisory fee to decrease as a percentage of net assets as the Fund increased in size, though under certain circumstances the structure of the Equity Fund’s unitary administrative fee arrangement with the Adviser offsets the effects of any advisory fee reduction on the total expense ratio. The Trustees noted that, effective March 1, 2024, Green Century had contractually reduced the administrative fee for each share class of the Equity Fund by five basis points. The Trustees also considered information provided by Green Century regarding how it seeks to reinvest its higher fee revenues from economies of scale into augmenting the quality and sophistication of its business in support of the Funds. The Trustees concluded that, in light of all of the facts and circumstances, breakpoints were not warranted at this time, and that if assets increased significantly the Trustees would have opportunities to negotiate further breakpoints or other decreases in fees with the Adviser.

Based on a review of all factors deemed relevant the Trustees, including the Independent Trustees, concluded that the Advisory Agreements with respect to all of the Funds should be continued for an additional one-year period.

INVESTMENT SUBADVISORY AGREEMENTS

The Trustees, including the Independent Trustees voted to approve the continuance of the subadvisory agreement between the Trust, on behalf of the Balanced Fund, Green Century, and Trillium, as amended (the “Balanced Fund Subadvisory Agreement”), the continuance of the subadvisory agreements among Green Century, Northern Trust and the Trust, on behalf of the Equity Fund (the “Equity Fund Subadvisory Agreement”) and the International Fund (the “International Fund Subadvisory Agreement” and together with the Balanced Fund Subadvisory Agreement and the

 


Equity Fund Subadvisory Agreement, the “Subadvisory Agreements”) at the November 14, 2024 meeting. In connection with their deliberations at the meetings, the Trustees considered, among other things, information provided by Trillium regarding the investment performance of the Balanced Fund, and information provided by Northern Trust regarding the investment performance of the Equity Fund (including the success with which the Equity Fund tracked the MSCI KLD Index) and the International Fund (including the success with which the International Fund tracked the MSCI World Index), the subadvisory fees paid to Trillium and Northern Trust, the profitability to Trillium of its subadvisory relationship to the Balanced Fund and financial information about Northern Trust. The Independent Trustees were assisted by independent counsel in considering these materials and the continuance of the Subadvisory Agreements. The Trustees considered all of the information provided to them by Trillium and Northern Trust, including information provided throughout the year. The Independent Trustees also received a memorandum from independent legal counsel advising them of their duties and responsibilities in connection with the contract review. The Trustees met with representatives of Trillium and Northern Trust at the Trustees’ November 14, 2024 meeting to discuss matters related to the continuation of the Subadvisory Agreements. Prior to voting, the Independent Trustees met with their independent counsel in private sessions at which no representatives of management were present. In approving the continuance of the Subadvisory Agreements the Trustees did not identify any single factor as determinative. Matters considered in connection with their approval of the Subadvisory Agreements included the following.

Nature, Quality, and Extent of Services Performed. The Trustees noted that under the terms of the Balanced Fund Subadvisory Agreement, Trillium provided the day-to-day portfolio management of the Balanced Fund, including determining asset and sector allocation; conducting securities selection and discovery; researching and analyzing environmental policies and practices of companies and implementing the Balanced Fund’s environmental screening criteria; managing the volatility, liquidity, risk, and turnover of the portfolio; and investing the portfolio consistent with the Balanced Fund’s investment objective and policies. The Trustees considered the professional expertise, tenure, and qualifications of the portfolio management team and noted that Trillium was devoted exclusively to environmentally and socially responsible investing and managed over $4 billion in assets. The Trustees also noted the recent staff turnover at Trillium and Trillium’s efforts to address the turnover as well as recent public announcements of potential corporate activity at Trillium’s Australian parent company. The Trustees also considered Trillium’s compliance record as well as the professional experience and responsiveness of Trillium’s compliance staff, as reported to them by the Trust’s chief compliance officer. The Trustees also considered Trillium’s leadership in social and environmental responsibility, including its shareholder advocacy efforts.

The Trustees noted that under the terms of the Equity Fund Subadvisory Agreement and the International Fund Subadvisory Agreement, Northern Trust provided the day-to-day portfolio management of each of the Equity Fund and the International Fund, making purchases and sales of portfolio securities consistent with each such Fund’s investment objective and policies and with changes to the applicable index. The Trustees considered the professional expertise, tenure, and qualifications of the portfolio management team as well as the team’s experience in passive management. The Trustees also considered Northern Trust’s handling of daily inflows and outflows, transaction costs, tracking error, and the portfolio turnover rates for each of the Equity Fund and the International Fund. The Trustees also considered Northern Trust’s compliance record as well as the professional experience and responsiveness of Northern Trust’s compliance staff, as reported to them by the Trust’s chief compliance officer.

Based on its review of all of the services provided and to be provided, the Trustees concluded that the nature, quality, and extent of services provided by Trillium and Northern Trust, respectively, supported the continuance of the Subadvisory Agreements.

Investment Performance. The Trustees reviewed and considered information regarding the investment performance of the Individual Investor Class of the Balanced Fund and comparative data with respect to the performance of mutual funds with similar investment objectives as well as other broad-based market indexes. The Trustees noted that as of

 


periods ended July 31, 2024, the Balanced Fund’s five- and ten-year average annual returns outperformed the Lipper Index and its one-and three-year average annual returns underperformed the Lipper Index. The Trustees also noted that as of periods ended July 31, 2024, the Balanced Fund’s one-, three-, five- and ten-year average annual returns underperformed the Custom Index. After considering all the factors deemed appropriate, the Trustees concluded that the performance of the Balanced Fund together with Trillium’s investment process, philosophies and experience in environmental and sustainable investing, supported the continuance of the Balanced Fund Subadvisory Agreement.

With respect to the Equity Fund and the International Fund, the Trustees considered that due to each Fund’s passive investment strategy, the principal concern with regard to investment performance was the extent to which the Fund tracked its respective index. The Trustees reviewed the performance of the Individual Investor Class shares of the Equity Fund as compared to that of the MSCI KLD Index for the twelve-month period ended July 31, 2024, and noted that the Equity Fund’s performance underperformed that of the MSCI KLD Index. In particular, they observed that, after taking into consideration the fees and expenses of the Individual Investor Class shares, for the one-year period the Equity Fund’s performance was in line with that of the MSCI KLD Index. After considering all the factors deemed appropriate, the Trustees concluded that the performance of the Equity Fund together with Northern Trust’s investment process and experience in passive portfolio management supported the continuance of the Equity Fund Subadvisory Agreement. The Trustees reviewed the performance of the Individual Investor Class shares of the International Fund, exclusive of the expenses of the class, as compared to that of the MSCI World Index for the twelve-month period ended July 31, 2024, and noted that the Fund’s performance underperformed that of the MSCI World Index. The Trustees took into account that the non-U.S. nature of the securities in which the International Fund invests and the Fund’s fees and expenses have an impact on the Fund’s tracking error. After considering all the factors they deemed appropriate, the Trustees concluded that the performance of the International Fund together with Northern Trust’s investment process and experience in passive portfolio management supported the continuance of the International Fund Subadvisory Agreement.

Costs of Services Provided and Profitability. The Trustees considered that the subadvisory fees paid by Green Century to Trillium under the Balanced Fund Subadvisory Agreement were 0.40% of the value of the average daily net assets of the Balanced Fund up to $30 million, 0.35% of the value of the average daily net assets of the Balanced Fund in excess of $30 million up to $250 million, and 0.30% of the value of the average daily net assets of the Balanced Fund in excess of $250 million.

In evaluating the profitability of the Subadvisory Agreement to Trillium, the Trustees noted that based on information provided by Trillium, the relationship was profitable. The Trustees considered the financial resources Trillium dedicated and the other expenses Trillium incurred in providing subadvisory services to the Balanced Fund, including startup costs relating to the relationship, and additional personnel, legal, trading analysis and compliance costs required in the context of providing subadvisory services to a mutual fund. The Trustees took into account that Trillium is the investment adviser or sub-adviser to other mutual funds and to non-fund clients.

The Trustees considered that the subadvisory fees paid by Green Century to Northern Trust under the Equity Fund Subadvisory Agreement were effectively an annual fee equal to 0.10% of the value of the average daily net assets of the Equity Fund up to but not including $50 million, 0.05% of the value of the average daily net assets of the Equity Fund from and including $50 million up to but not including $100 million, and 0.03% of the value of the average daily net assets of the Equity Fund equal to or in excess of $100 million.

The Trustees considered that that the subadvisory fees paid by Green Century to Northern Trust under the International Fund Subadvisory Agreement were effectively an annual fee equal to 0.17% of the value of the average daily net assets of the Fund up to but not including $50 million, 0.12% of the average daily net assets of the Fund from and including $50 million up to but not including $100 million, and 0.08% of the average daily net assets of the Fund equal to or in excess of $100 million.

 


The Trustees reviewed and considered an analysis of the subadvisory fees for the Equity Fund and the International Fund against comparative data for mutual funds subadvised by Northern Trust with a similar investment strategy and asset size. The Trustees noted that each Fund paid subadvisory fees at effective rates comparable to those paid to Northern Trust by funds having similar strategies that Northern Trust manages with similar levels of net assets. In evaluating the profitability of each of the Equity Fund Subadvisory Agreement and International Fund Subadvisory Agreement to Northern Trust, the Trustees noted that Northern Trust does not calculate earnings at the subadvisory client level.

The Trustees also considered that the subadvisory fees are paid by Green Century, and are not in addition to the advisory fees paid to Green Century by the Funds.

After reviewing the information described above, the Trustees concluded that the fees specified in the Subadvisory Agreements, taking into account the nature and quality of services provided and the costs of the services provided by Trillium and Northern Trust as applicable, supported the continuance of the Subadvisory Agreements.

Other Benefits. The Trustees evaluated potential other benefits that each of Trillium and Northern Trust may realize from its relationship with the applicable Fund(s). The Trustees considered the brokerage practices of Trillium, including the soft dollar commissions that were generated with respect to the Balanced Fund’s portfolio transactions. The Trustees considered that Trillium was not affiliated with a broker/dealer and therefore no benefit would be realized by Trillium through transactions with affiliated brokers. The Trustees also considered the brokerage practices of Northern Trust, including that Northern Trust does not trade for the Equity Fund or the International Fund through its affiliated broker. The Trustees also considered that no soft dollars have been paid in connection with Northern Trust’s management of the Equity Fund and the International Fund.

The Trustees further considered the reputational and other advantages that each of Trillium and Northern Trust may gain from its relationship with the applicable Fund(s), including that Northern Trust’s management of the Equity Fund and the International Fund will broaden its exposure to the socially responsible mutual fund market. The Trustees concluded that the benefits received by each of Trillium and Northern Trust were reasonable in the context of its relationship with the applicable Fund(s).

Economies of Scale. The Trustees also considered whether economies of scale would be realized by each of Trillium and Northern Trust as the Funds grow in asset size and the extent to which such economies of scale might be reflected in the subadvisory fees. They noted the relatively small size of each Fund (compared with similar funds in the industry) and the resultant difficulty of achieving meaningful economies of scale, despite the effects of significant increases in Fund and Trust assets over the past few years. They considered that if the assets were to increase further, Trillium and Northern Trust could have the opportunity to experience economies of scale. They also noted that, pursuant to the Balanced Fund Subadvisory Agreement, the overall subadvisory fees paid to Trillium by Green Century (out of the advisory fee that Green Century receives from the Fund, which is subject to a breakpoint) include breakpoints at $30 million and $250 million, so that fees as a percentage of net assets decrease modestly (from 40 basis points towards 30 basis points) as assets in the Balanced Fund increase. They also noted that pursuant to the Equity Fund Subadvisory Agreement and the International Fund Subadvisory Agreement, the overall subadvisory fees paid to Northern Trust by Green Century (out of the advisory fee that Green Century receives from the applicable Fund, which, for the Equity Fund, is subject to breakpoints) include breakpoints at $50 million and $100 million, so that fees as a percentage of net assets decrease as assets in the Equity Fund and the International Fund increase. The Trustees concluded that economies of scale could be realized as the Funds grow, and that the fee schedules as specified were appropriate, and supported the continuance of the Subadvisory Agreements.

Based on a review of all factors deemed relevant, the Trustees, including the Independent Trustees, concluded that all of the Subadvisory Agreements should be continued for an additional one-year period.
