1) PORTFOLIO VALUATION –The New Alternatives Fund’s (the “Fund”) net asset value (“NAV”) is calculated once daily at the close of regular trading hours on the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) (generally 4:00 p.m. Eastern time) on each day the NYSE is open. Securities held by the Fund are valued based on the official closing price or the last reported sale price on national securities exchanges where they are primarily traded or on the National Association of Securities Dealers Automatic Quotation System (“NASDAQ”) market system as of the close of business on the day the securities are being valued. That is normally 4:00 p.m. Eastern time. If there were no sales on that day or the securities are traded on other over-the-counter markets, the mean of the last bid and asked prices prior to the market close is used. Short-term debt securities having a remaining maturity of 60 days or less are valued based on amortized cost. Certificates of Deposit securities are valued at amortized cost, provided such amount approximates market value and are categorized in Level 2.
Non-U.S. equity securities are valued based on their most recent closing market prices on their primary market and are translated from the local currency into U.S. dollars using current exchange rates on the day of valuation. The Fund may hold securities that are primarily listed on foreign exchanges that trade on weekends or other days when the Fund does not price its shares. As such, the Fund’s NAV may change on days when shareholders will not be able to purchase or redeem Fund shares.
If the market price of a security held by the Fund is unavailable at the time the Fund prices its shares at 4:00 p.m. Eastern time, the Fund will use the “fair value” of such security as determined in good faith by the Fund’s investment advisor as "valuation designee" under methods established by and under the general supervision of the Trust’s Board of Trustees. Fair value is defined as the price that the Fund would receive upon selling an investment in a timely transaction to an independent buyer in the principal or most advantageous market of the investments. The Fund may use fair value pricing if the value of a security it holds has been materially affected by events occurring before the Fund’s pricing time but after the close of the primary markets or exchange on which the security is traded. This most commonly occurs with foreign securities, but may occur in other cases as well. Certain foreign securities are fair valued by utilizing an external pricing service in the event of any significant market movements between the time the Fund valued such foreign securities and the earlier closing of foreign markets. On a quarterly basis, the valuation designee’s fair value determinations will be reviewed by the Board of Trustees. The Fund does not invest in unlisted securities.
2) FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS – The inputs and valuations techniques used to measure fair value of the Fund’s net assets are summarized into three levels as described in the hierarchy below:
• | Level 1 - Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Fund has the ability to access. |

• | Level 2 - Observable inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly.These inputs may include quoted prices for the identical instrument on an inactive market, prices for similar instruments, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, yield curves, default rates and similar data. |
• | Level 3 - Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability, to the extent relevant observable inputs are not available, representing the Fund’s own assumptions about the assumptions a market participant would use in valuing the asset or liability, and would be based on the best information available. |
The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.The following is a summary of the inputs used, as of March 31, 2024, in valuing the Fund’s assets carried at fair value:

At the end of each calendar quarter, management evaluates the classification of Level 1, 2 and 3 assets and liabilities. Various factors are considered, such as changes in liquidity from the prior reporting period; whether or not a broker is willing to execute at the quoted price; the depth and consistency of prices from third party pricing services; and the existence of contemporaneous, observable trades in the market. Additionally, management evaluates the classification of Level 1 and Level 2 assets and liabilities on a quarterly basis for changes in listings or delistings on national exchanges.
The Fund utilizes an external pricing service to fair value certain foreign securities in the event of any significant market movements between the time the Fund valued certain foreign securities and the

earlier closing of foreign markets. Such fair valuations are categorized as Level 2 in the hierarchy. Significant market movements were not deemed to have occurred at March 31, 2024, and therefore, the Fund did not utilize the external pricing service model adjustments. Transfers in and out between Levels are based on values at the end of the period.
