Letter to Shareholders |
by Joseph Keefe, President & CEO |
![](https://capedge.com/proxy/N-CSRS/0001398344-17-012001/fp0027611_5.jpg)
Dear fellow shareholders,
The first half of 2017 saw markets continue to rally as a new administration took office promising lower taxes, less regulation, $1 trillion in new infrastructure spending and other goodies that appealed to the investor class. As we enter the second half of the year, it is unclear whether an administration beset by scandal and false starts can deliver on a range of policy issues, from health care to tax reform. In addition to the administration’s inability to put the Russia collusion story behind it, we are also beginning to see that a one-party government may not be any more successful in delivering results than was divided government. At some point, the continuing partisan gridlock, divisiveness and outright ineptitude emanating from Washington, DC – sometimes referred to as political risk – could begin to take a toll on consumer confidence, investor confidence and, of course, on markets.
JPMorgan Chase CEO Jamie Dimon recently fumed that “it’s almost embarrassing being an American citizen.” Although some people initially thought he was talking about President Trump, he was actually expressing a more general frustration with gridlock in Washington and the federal government’s inability to get anything done. Mohamed El-Erian, chief economic adviser at Allianz, quickly chimed in that Dimon “is right to raise the alarm.” By “delaying the implementation of sensible economic policies,” wrote El-Erian, “political gridlock in Washington has for years undermined growth, made it less inclusive, and denied many Americans the higher level of prosperity that is both desirable and feasible.” El-Erian noted that the U.S. economy has still managed to deliver annual growth in the 1.5 – 2 percent range – “an outcome that illustrates the resilience of the private sector.”
The private sector has indeed shown remarkable resilience as our nation seems to become more and more ungovernable. However, the market is at an all-time high, valuations across a range of asset classes are rich, and we’ve become over-reliant on Federal Reserve policy to continue buying time for the economy. These are all reasons for caution. Moreover, although the Federal Reserve’s current policy preference is for continued tightening and higher interest rates, it has recently expressed some reservations about persistent low inflation and how this might factor into its normalization plans. Meanwhile, the prospect of a market at historic valuations gradually losing the stimulus it has grown accustomed to is bound to affect investor confidence. We are in uncharted territory and there are reasons to be concerned.
5
That said, there is good news as well: Europe has been in recovery, the U.S. economy continues to expand, unemployment and inflation are low, and fundamentals, including corporate earnings, seem to be pretty solid – which is why the Federal Reserve apparently still believes it can continue to raise rates. We may be in uncharted territory but there are reasons, as always, for Americans to be confident and optimistic. The question at this point may come down to whether a combination of political risk and historic valuations spook the market even though economic fundamentals remain relatively strong. We shall see.
There is also understandable consternation around the globe about some of the policy choices of the Trump administration. One can only hope that withdrawing from the Paris Climate Agreement ends up being the most short-sighted and ill-informed decision of the Trump presidency. It’s hard to imagine a greater blunder. The decision constitutes a withdrawal of the world’s largest economy and most consequential nation from global climate policy. It’s inconceivable to me what the Administration might have been thinking – other than playing to its political base – when it joined Syria and Nicaragua as the only three countries to reject the Paris accord. Virtually all the science and all informed opinion around the globe – including 194 other countries – have reached a consensus at odds with where the Trump administration has taken the United States.
Ironically, President Trump’s decision to withdraw from the Paris accord and ill-informed utterances about bringing back coal have seemed to galvanize the climate change movement. In the U.S., cities, states, corporations and individual citizens have pledged to redouble their efforts to combat climate change. California, the world’s sixth largest economy, just extended its cap and trade program with bi-partisan support. The other 19 nations at the recent G-20 meetings reiterated their commitment to the Paris agreement as well, leaving the Trump administration as a lonely outlier. President Trump may have inadvertently blundered into the most consequential moment in the history of the climate change movement – for which we may ultimately thank him!
Regardless of what happens in Washington, DC or which way the political winds blow, sustainable investors have an opportunity to make a difference – whether it be the challenge of climate change, or the fight for gender equality, or a host of other critical global issues. Our job at Pax is to grow your investment portfolio and we are singularly committed to delivering that growth. Indeed, we are growing ourselves, and so is the entire sustainable investing industry as more and more investors come to understand that sustainable investing is simply a smarter way to invest – for the investor, for society and for the planet.
6
But growth for growth’s sake has never been our focus at Pax, nor is it the focus of sustainable investing. What we seek to deliver are robust returns with lower risk and greater social impact. We do this by investing in companies that are developing the environmental solutions and technologies that will help lead the transition to a sustainable economy. We do this by investing in companies where women are better represented in corporate leadership. We do this by investing in community economic development, green bonds and other high-impact investments. We do this by integrating environmental, social and governance (ESG) standards into all our portfolios. We do this because you, our shareholders, have chosen to align your investments with your values and invest in the future, not the past.
We are thankful and humbled that you have chosen to entrust us with your investments.
Sincerely,

Portfolio Manager’s Comments |
How did the Pax Large Cap Fund (the Fund) perform for the period?
For the six-month period ended June 30, 2017, the Individual Investor Class and Institutional Class of the Fund had total returns of 8.60% and 8.68% respectively, compared to 9.34% for the S&P 500 Index and 8.90% for the Lipper Large-Cap Core Funds Index.
What factors contributed to the Fund’s performance?
The Energy and Health Care sectors detracted from performance during the period. Conversely, overexposure to growth-oriented stocks relative to value and underexposure to dividend-yielding stocks helped relative performance as growth substantially outperformed value during the period.
Can you discuss any significant changes to the Fund’s positioning throughout the period?
We reduced our overweight exposure in the Financial and Energy sectors and increased our overweight exposure to Real Estate Investment Trusts (REIT). We also reduced the underweight to Technology by adding to the sector.
What portfolio holdings contributed positively to performance?
The REIT sector was a positive contributor to performance through strong stock selection. American Tower and Crown Castle are benefitting from the continued growth in wireless services. The Consumer Discretionary sector was also a positive contributor through strong stock selection, notably Amazon. Amazon continued to dominate “Bricks and Mortar” retailers and its recent announcement to buy Whole Foods weighed heavily on retailers and grocers.
What portfolio holdings detracted from performance?
As a result of our sustainable investing discipline, we take a best-of-class approach to the Energy sector in this Fund, investing in energy companies with more positive ESG attributes. For the six-month period, our energy holdings detracted from performance as concerns regarding the oversupply of oil weighed heavily on holdings Schlumberger and Pioneer.

Health Care also detracted from relative performance due to weak stock selection, notably Gilead and Biogen. Investor concern over the lack of health care plan changes out of Washington weighed heavily on the stocks.

Portfolio Manager Nathan Moser, CFA |
Portfolio Manager’s Comments |
How did the Pax Mid Cap Fund (the Fund) perform for the period?
For the six-month period ended June 30, 2017, the Individual Investor Class and Institutional Class shares of the Fund had total returns of 7.19% and 7.39%, respectively, compared to 7.99% for the Russell Midcap Index (the Index) and 5.93% for the Lipper Mid-Cap Core Funds Index.
What factors contributed to the Fund’s performance?
Strong stock selection in the Consumer Discretionary and Real Estate sectors was not enough to offset poor results in the Technology and Financials sectors. Within midcaps, growth outperformed value by 6.22% during the period. From an allocation standpoint, our underweight to Health Care was a meaningful detractor from performance.
Can you discuss any significant changes to the Fund’s positioning throughout the period?
The Fund continues to tilt towards value with overweight allocations to Financials and Consumer Staples. We find these sectors attractive from a valuation perspective and believe that, after meaningful underperformance in the period, they are poised for better returns.
What portfolio holdings contributed positively to performance?
ICON Plc., a contract research organization, was our top contributor to performance. This performance was likely driven by better than expected financial results and increased investor interest in the Health Care sector.
Check Point Software, a security focused software company, rose sharply during the period on better than expected financial results. In addition, the company likely benefitted from increased investor interest in cyber security firms.
12
What portfolio holdings detracted from performance?
Avnet Inc., a technology distributor, was our largest detractor from performance. Sharply lowered annual guidance due to large customer losses and added expenses drove the company’s share price lower in our view. We exited our position late in the period as we determined that fundamentals had deteriorated.
Capitol Federal Financial, Inc., a community bank, declined during the period. The combination of profit taking following a strong 2016 and lower interest rates likely led to the sell-off. We continue to hold shares as our fundamental view remains unchanged and valuation remains attractive.

Portfolio Manager’s Comments |
How did the Pax Small Cap Fund (the Fund) perform for the period?
For the six-month period ended June 30, 2017, the Individual Investor Class, Class A and Institutional Class shares of the Fund had total returns of 0.58%, 0.58% and 0.70%, respectively, compared to 4.99% for the Russell 2000 Index (the Index) and 3.90% for the Lipper Small-Cap Core Funds Index.
What factors contributed to the Fund’s performance?
Strong stock selection in the Consumer Staples and Real Estate sectors was not enough to offset poor results in the Energy and Technology sectors. Growth outperformed value by 9.43% during the period, as measured by the Russell 2000 Growth Index and the Russell 2000 Value Index. From an allocation standpoint, our overweight to the Energy sector was a meaningful detractor from performance.
Can you discuss any significant changes to the Fund’s positioning throughout the period?
The Fund continues to tilt towards value with overweight allocations to Financials, Consumer Staples and Energy. We find these sectors attractive from a valuation perspective and believe that, after meaningful underperformance in the period, they are poised for better returns.
What portfolio holdings contributed positively to performance?
Legg Mason Inc., a global asset management company, was our top contributor to performance. Solid financial results coupled with an inexpensive valuation drove shares higher, in our view.
ICON Plc., a contract research organization, was a strong performer for the Fund. Strong performance was likely driven by better than expected financial results and increased investor interest in the Health Care sector.

What portfolio holdings detracted from performance?
As a result of our sustainable investing discipline, we take a best-of-class approach to the Energy sector in this Fund, investing in energy companies with more positive ESG attributes. For the six-month period, two energy companies detracted from performance due to unfavorable market conditions.
PDC Energy Inc., an exploration and production company, was our largest detractor from performance. The energy sector was the worst performing sector during the period as oil prices declined. PDC Energy’s decline was largely due to oil’s move lower and higher leverage from a recent acquisition.
SemGroup Corporation, a midstream oil and gas company, declined sharply likely on the combination of Energy sector weakness and investor concerns over added leverage.

Portfolio Managers’ Comments |
How did the Pax ESG Beta Quality Fund (the Fund) perform for the period?
For the six-month period ended June 30, 2017, the Fund’s Individual Investor Class, Institutional Class, and Class A shares had total returns of 8.49%, 8.64% and 8.47%, respectively, compared to 9.27% for the Russell 1000 Index and 8.60% for the Lipper Multi-Cap Core Funds Index.
What factors contributed positively to performance?
Industry exposures, which are driven by the factor and ESG tilts, provided a positive boost to relative returns for the period. Particularly, an underweight to the hardest hit energy industries (Oil and Gas Exploration and Production, Oil and Gas Equipment and Services, Oil Gas and Consumable Fuels) benefitted relative performance.
What factors detracted from performance?
Two of the four factors in the strategy, earnings yield and earnings quality, significantly underperformed in the first half of the year. The strategy’s exposure to value, as measured by earnings yield, was the largest detractor as value stocks significantly underperformed growth stocks over the last six months. From a quality perspective, the tilt towards companies with higher earnings quality hurt relative performance substantially while an overweight to lower volatility and profitability factors only provided a marginal positive contribution.
Environmental, social and governance (ESG) factors, as measured by the Pax Sustainability Score, detracted modestly from performance for the period. The Fund overweights its portfolio towards companies with ESG strength. During the period, companies with stronger ESG profiles trailed those with weaker ESG profiles.

For the six-month period ended June 30, 2017, the Fund’s Individual Class and Institutional Class shares had total returns of 6.77% and 6.94%, respectively, compared to 9.27% for the Russell 1000 Index and 6.28% for the Lipper Equity Income Funds Index.
What factors contributed positively to performance?
Industry exposures, which are driven by the factor and ESG tilts, detracted from relative returns for the period. The Fund’s underweight to the lagging Oil and Gas Exploration and Production industry benefitted relative performance.
What factors detracted from performance?
The overweight towards companies with higher dividend yield detracted for the period as dividend yield tends to struggle in an environment dominated by growth stocks. The tilt towards dividend sustainability factors detracted as well. Particularly, the strategy’s exposure to companies with higher earnings quality hampered relative results. The tilt towards companies with higher profitability and management quality had a negligible impact.
Environmental, social and governance (ESG) factors, as measured by the Pax Sustainability Score, detracted from performance for the period. The Fund overweights its portfolio towards companies with ESG strength. During the period, companies with stronger ESG profiles trailed those with weaker ESG profiles.

Portfolio Manager Greg Hasevlat |
Portfolio Managers’ Comments |
How did the Pax MSCI EAFE ESG Leaders Index Fund (the Fund) perform for the period?
For the six-month period ended June 30, 2017, the Institutional Class and Individual Investor Class of the Fund had total returns of 14.05% and 13.93%, respectively, compared to 13.35% for the MSCI EAFE ESG Leaders (Net) Index (the “Index”) and 13.81% for the MSCI EAFE (Net) Index (“EAFE Index”), and 14.59% for the Lipper International Large-Cap Core Funds Index.
The Fund outperformed the EAFE Index during the first quarter but underperformed in the second quarter as higher beta international developed stocks drove market returns. These conditions were unfavorable based on the Fund’s lower risk profile, a byproduct of the Fund’s ESG focus, which drives the security selection process of the Fund. The Fund’s Institutional Class (PXNIX) has produced 10% lower beta and 8% lower risk (as measured by standard deviation) than the EAFE Index over the trailing 3 years, ending June 30, 2017.1
Over longer time periods, the Fund has produced strong peer results. Over the five-year period ending June 30, 2017, the Fund’s Institutional Class (PXNIX) ranks in the 26th percentile in the Lipper International Large Cap Core classification.2
What is the investment objective of the Fund?
The Fund is designed to track the performance of the Index with a view towards producing long-term risk-adjusted performance relative to the EAFE Index. The Fund and the Index are constructed to have a better environmental, social and governance (ESG) profile than the EAFE Index. Based on evaluations of ESG characteristics conducted by MSCI ESG Research as of June 30, 2017, the ESG profile of the Fund’s holdings averaged an overall rating of AA on MSCI ESG Research’s seven-point scale compared to an overall rating of A for the EAFE Index.3
24
What contributed positively and negatively to performance?
International developed markets, as represented by the EAFE Index, had strong absolute results during the first half of the year. The EAFE Index returned 13.81%, outpacing U.S. equity markets return of 9.34%, as represented by the S&P 500 Index.4
The Fund’s ESG profile helped relative performance versus the EAFE Index over the first six months of the year. To measure and analyze the ESG contribution to relative performance, we delineate stocks into three tiers based on MSCI IVA5 (Intangible Value Asset) ratings (Top Tier: AAA/AA/A - highest rated companies, Middle Tier: BBB/BB - average rated companies, Bottom Tier: B/CCC - lowest rated companies). For the six-month period, the highest-rated group and average rated companies added the most to relative performance, while the Fund’s large underweight allocation to the lowest-rated companies detracted from relative performance. Longer term, the highest-rated and average-weighted groups have contributed the most to relative performance since the Fund’s inception.
From a sector perspective, an underweight allocation to more sustainability challenged Oil, Gas and Consumable Fuels companies in the Energy sector produced positive relative performance versus the EAFE Index. Other positive contributors included the Materials sector driven by an underweight to the sustainability challenged Metals & Mining industry, followed by Health Care, which outperformed driven by higher ESG-rated pharmaceutical companies within Europe.
Fund holdings within the Financials sector detracted the most from relative performance, which was driven by the underperformance of the higher ESG-rated banks within Australia and Japan. Two other notable detractors were the Telecommunications and Industrial sectors.
On a regional basis, Europe added to relative performance versus the EAFE Index, while the Pacific region detracted. Within Europe, the UK and Netherlands produced positive relative results. Within the Pacific region, Australia and Hong Kong, detracted the most from relative performance.
1 | The Pax MSCI EAFE ESG Leaders Index Fund – Institutional Class (PXNIX) three-year beta is 0.90 compared to 1.00 for the EAFE Index. Beta reflects the sensitivity of a Fund’s return to fluctuations in its benchmark: a beta for a benchmark is 1.00. A beta greater than 1.00 indicates above average volatility and risk. The Fund’s (PXNIX) three-year standard deviation is 11.31 compared to 12.25 for the EAFE Index. Standard deviation measures a Fund’s variation around its mean performance; a high standard deviation implies greater volatility. The minimum investment needed for investment in PXNIX is $250,000. |

1 | The Fund’s inception date is January 27, 2011. On March 31, 2014, Pax World International Fund and Pax MSCI EAFE ESG Index ETF merged into the Pax MSCI International ESG Index Fund (the Fund), a passively managed index fund which seeks investment returns that closely correspond to the price and yield performance, before fees and expenses, of the MSCI EAFE ESG Index. Based on the similarity of the Fund to Pax MSCI EAFE ESG Index ETF, Pax MSCI EAFE ESG Index ETF (the Predecessor Fund) is treated as the survivor of the mergers for accounting and performance reporting purposes. Accordingly, all performance and other information shown for the Fund for periods prior to March 31, 2014 is that of the Predecessor Fund. Total return figures include reinvested dividends and capital gains distributions, and changes in principal value, and do not reflect the taxes that a shareholder might pay on Fund distributions or on the redemption of Fund shares. |

Portfolio Managers’ Comments |
How did the Pax Ellevate Global Women’s Index Fund (the Fund) perform for the period?
For the six-month period ended June 30, 2017, the Individual Investor Class and Institutional Class had total returns of 12.31% and 12.47%, respectively, compared to 10.99% for the Pax Global Women’s Leadership Index (Women’s Index), 10.66% for the MSCI World (Net) Index (World Index) and 11.25% for the Lipper Global Multi-Cap Core Funds Index.
During the period, the Fund reached its three-year anniversary since adopting an index-based strategy, which began on June 4, 2014. Over the three-year period ending June 30, 2017, the Fund has outperformed the World Index: Institutional Class shares and Individual Investor Class shares had three-year returns of 5.93% and 5.66%, respectively, versus the World Index three-year return of 5.24%. The Fund has outperformed over this time period with lower risk (as measured by standard deviation). Over the three-year period ending June 30, 2017, the Fund’s Institutional Class has produced 12% lower beta, 10% lower standard deviation and 15% lower downside capture versus the World Index.1
The Fund (PXWIX) has also produced strong peer results over the three-year time period ending June 30, 2017. The Fund’s Institutional Class has posted a top 30% three-year percentile rank out of 140 funds based on average annual returns within the Lipper Global Multi-Cap Core classification, and a top 26% three-year percentile rank out of 714 funds based on average annual returns within the Morningstar World Large Stock classification.2
A significant driver of positive relative performance was the Fund’s large overweight to companies demonstrating strong gender leadership characteristics. Over this period, companies with three or more women on boards, with more than 25% women on their boards and those with at least 25% women in senior management have helped performance relative to the MSCI World Index.

What is the investment objective of the Fund?
The Pax Ellevate Global Women’s Index Fund seeks investment returns that closely correspond to or exceed the price and yield performance, before fees and expenses, of the Women’s Index, an index of companies around the world that are leaders in advancing women through gender diversity on their boards of directors and in management. The Fund’s investment approach overweight’s companies with more favorable gender characteristics– e.g., the number of women on the board of directors and women in management – rather than relying on market weights exclusively.
This Fund is the first of its kind—a broadly diversified mutual fund that invests in the highest-rated companies in the world for advancing women’s leadership. Among the companies in the Fund, 33% of board seats and 27% of executive management positions are held by women, as compared to global averages of 16% and 16%, respectively.3 Companies in the Women’s Index also meet threshold environmental, social and governance (ESG) standards, as rated by MSCI ESG Research.
What contributed positively and negatively to performance?
Over the first six -months of the year, the Fund’s large overweight to companies with three or more women directors, that have more than 25% women directors and have at least 25% women in senior management added the most to relative performance, while the Fund’s underweight allocation to and avoidance of the lowest-rated gender leaders detracted slightly.
Fund holdings across multiple sectors and regions produced strong relative results over the first half of 2017. On a sector basis, the Fund’s underweight allocation in the oil, gas and consumable fuels industry produced the most relative performance versus the MSCI World Index. This sector has notably fewer women in board and senior management roles than most others. The Information Technology (IT) sector added to relative performance and was the highest performing sector during the first half of year. Notable IT gender leaders that were among the highest contributors include: Yahoo, Salesforce, Facebook, Xerox and LM Ericsson. Within Financials, global banks and insurance companies produced the highest relative results during the period. Conversely, Consumer Staples and Consumer Discretionary companies detracted the most from relative performance over the first half of the year.
30
On a regional basis, the Fund’s holdings in Europe, North America and the Pacific regions added to relative performance during the period. Within Europe, gender leaders in France and the UK produced the best relative performance. Within in North America, U.S. holdings produced positive results. Within the Pacific region, the Fund’s underweight to Japan and an overweight to Australia added to performance.
Footnotes:
1 | The Pax Ellevate Global Women’s Index Fund – Institutional Class (PXWIX) 3-year beta is 0.88 compared to 1.00 for the MSCI World Index. Beta reflects the sensitivity of a Fund’s return to fluctuations in its benchmark: a beta for a benchmark is 1.00. A beta greater than 1.00 indicates above average volatility and risk. The Pax Ellevate Global Women’s Index Fund – Institutional Class (PXWIX) 3-year standard deviation is 9.39 compared to 10.48 for the MSCI World Index. Standard Deviation measures a Fund’s variation around its mean performance; a high standard deviation implies greater volatility. The Pax Ellevate Global Women’s Index Fund – Institutional Class (PXWIX) 3-year downside capture is 85.42 compared to 100 for the MSCI World Index. Downside capture - measures an investment manager’s overall performance in down-markets. A downside capture ratio less than 100 indicates that the investment manager has outperformed its index during down-markets, while downside capture ratio greater than 100 indicates that the investment manager has underperformed its index during down-markets. |

Portfolio Managers’ Comments |
How did the Pax Global Environmental Markets Fund (the Fund) perform for the period?
For the six-month period ended June 30, 2017, the Individual Investor Class, Class A, and Institutional Class of the Fund had total returns of 15.12%, 15.15%, and 15.31%, respectively, versus 11.48% for the MSCI All-Country World (Net) Index and 16.24% for the FTSE Environmental Opportunities Index Series (“FTSE EOAS”).
What factors contributed to the Fund’s performance?
Severe air pollution in the world’s cities has a serious impact on public health. Although the terrible air quality in Chinese and Indian cities has received much attention, the UK has recently been in the spotlight, with the government losing a High Court case over its failure to tackle illegal air pollution. Companies addressing pollution issues delivered strong performance during the period.
As air pollution concerns escalate, and following technological advances, we have seen rising adoption of electric (“EV”) and hybrid vehicles around the world. This acceleration away from petrol and diesel engines is just one approach to tackle urban air pollution and the Fund has exposure to companies across the EV value chain.
In early June, President Trump announced that the U.S. will be withdrawing from the Paris Climate Agreement, though the process will take at least until 2020 to complete. The portfolio managers do not consider this widely-expected policy change to be a material headwind to environmental markets. We believe that other countries are now even more determined to implement the agreement, while in the U.S., states, cities and companies accounting for a significant portion of Gross Domestic Product (“GDP”) have also restated their intent to honor the Paris targets.

Pax Global Environmental Markets Fund, continued |
Under a Trump presidency, expectations are for increased infrastructure spend in the U.S., with aging water infrastructure cited as a major issue and a priority to be addressed. This drove strong performance from Water Infrastructure companies at the beginning of the year.
Can you discuss any significant changes to the Fund’s positioning throughout the period?
There were no significant positioning changes during the first half of 2017. The portfolio remains diversified to long-term growth opportunities in the environmental markets, with a balance of both cyclical and defensive exposures.
What portfolio holdings contributed positively to performance relative to the FTSE EOAS?
The global equity market rally continued and investor preference remained for cyclical stocks. Against this backdrop, the Energy Efficiency sub-sector continued to deliver strong returns. Philips Lighting (Netherlands) was particularly strong, benefiting from high growth in its LED business and development of its “connected” lighting business. This business line adds sensors to the lighting infrastructure to collect, analyze and use data. We believe both markets offer significant growth opportunities.
Companies addressing pollution issues delivered strong performance, driven by tightening emissions regulations and attractive business models. These included Agilent Technologies (U.S.) and Horiba (Japan).
Suez (Water Utilities, France) delivered a large contribution to performance, benefiting from improved sentiment toward the company and anticipation of more favorable news on their recent acquisition of GE Water.
What portfolio holdings detracted from performance relative to the FTSE EOAS?
Underperformance was largely stock specific. These included Sealed Air Corporation (Logistics, Food Safety & Packaging, U.S.) and Watts Water Technologies (Water Infrastructure, U.S.), which suffered share price declines after releasing cautious guidance for 2017. Others, such as Huaneng Renewables (Renewable Energy Developers & IPPs, Hong Kong), experienced profit taking following strong performance last year.

Portfolio Manager Anthony Trzcinka, CFA |
Portfolio Manager’s Comments |
How did the Pax Core Bond Fund (the Fund) perform for the period?
For the six-month period ended June 30, 2017, the Individual Investor Class and Institutional Class shares of the Fund had total returns of 1.86% and 1.98%, respectively, compared to 2.27% for the Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index and 2.63% for the Lipper Core Bond Funds Index.
What factors contributed to the Fund’s performance?
Performance within the Fund’s corporate and government related sectors detracted from performance. Conversely, the Fund’s Treasury and taxable Municipal Bond sectors were the top contributors.
Can you discuss any significant changes to the Fund’s positioning throughout the period?
The Fund had no significant changes in the period. It continues to be positioned as a high credit quality portfolio with an average credit rating of AA-. We continue to have the view that we are in the latter part of the credit cycle and choose to focus mainly on higher credit quality companies.
In addition, the Fund has added a number of impact investments including an Apple green bond, two taxable muni green bonds (Los Angeles and Honolulu) and a Fannie Mae green mortgage back security (MBS). As of June 30, 2017, we have 15% of the portfolio held in impact investments. We will continue to seek new impact bonds as the market in general, and the green bond market specifically, is rapidly growing with new issuances across asset classes and sectors.
What portfolio holdings contributed positively to performance?
Four of the Fund’s treasuries holdings with maturities of 10 years and greater were positive contributors to performance. Despite forecasters calling for higher rates, rates on long-term treasuries came down as the yield curve flattened.
What portfolio holdings detracted from performance?
The Fund’s short-term treasuries securities detracted from performance. These treasuries were impacted by the Federal Reserve raising rates during the period.

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

Portfolio Manager’s Comments |
How did the Pax High Yield Bond Fund (the Fund) perform for the period?
For the six-month period ended June 30, 2017, the Individual Investor Class, Class A, and Institutional Class shares of the Fund had total returns of 4.50%, 4.50%, and 4.64%, respectively, compared to 4.54% for the BofA Merrill Lynch U.S. High Yield—Cash Pay—BB-B (Constrained 2%) Index (the Index) and 4.72% for the Lipper High Yield Bond Funds Index.
What factors contributed to the Fund’s performance?
The outperformance was driven by positive credit selection in the Services, Telecommunications and Leisure sectors. This was partially offset by negative selection in the Retail and Energy sectors. By rating, the Fund’s higher quality BB and B rated names contributed to performance, while the lower quality CCC rated names were neutral to performance. Duration was a minor detractor of 8 basis points (bps)* during the period while cash, which averaged 4.9%, hurt relative performance by 17 bps.
Can you discuss any significant changes to the Fund’s positioning throughout the period?
During the first half of 2017, the Fund increased its exposure to higher quality BB rated bonds from 42% to 47%, and reduced exposure to B rated bonds from 44% to 42%. CCC rated bonds increased to 8% from 6% due to a number of attractive new issues in the period. By sector, the Fund increased exposure to Consumer Goods, Leisure and Telecommunications, and reduced exposure to Banking, Capital Goods and Real Estate. The average S&P credit rating remains unchanged at B+.
What portfolio holdings contributed positively to performance?
Ion Geophysical, a seismic data provider to the Energy sector, performed well in the period due to better than expected cost cutting initiatives and stable demand for their services.

PR Wireless, a wireless telecom service provider, announced a strategic combination with Sprint resulting in a material re-pricing of the loan.
Michael Baker International, a provider of engineering and consulting services, announced their intention to re-finance the bonds providing positive support for the trading levels.
What portfolio holdings detracted from performance?
Charlotte Russe, an apparel retailer, continued to perform poorly as they face headwinds from declining mall traffic and competitive pricing pressure. The company does have good liquidity and likely will continue to pursue profit improvement measures. The loan is not actively traded and is volatile.
Tom’s Shoes, a designer and manufacturer of shoes and apparel, performed poorly as their turnaround efforts, while showing signs of success, have been slow to materialize. The loan is also not actively traded.
Denbury Resources, an energy and production company, was weak due to declining oil prices which disproportionately impact companies with perceived high costs. The company, however, has reasonable liquidity and does not appear to be materially out-spending cash flow.

Portfolio Managers’ Comments |
How did the Pax Balanced Fund (the Fund) perform for the period?
For the six-month period ended June 30, 2017, the Individual Investor Class and Institutional Class of the Fund had total returns of 6.27% and 6.37% respectively, compared to 6.48% for the 60% S&P 500 Index/ 40% Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index (“BARCAP”) blend (the Blended Index) and 8.38% for the Lipper Mixed-Asset Target Allocation Growth Funds Index (Average).
What factors contributed to the Fund’s performance?
The Fund’s underweight to fixed income and overweight to equity versus the Blended Index contributed positively to the overall relative performance of the Fund as equities outperformed bonds during the period. However, the overall equity component of the Fund underperformed relative to the S&P 500 Index. The Fund’s U.S. equity exposure was a detractor to relative performance, while the Fund’s exposure to non-U.S. developed markets contributed positively to performance, as the MSCI EAFE Index significantly outperformed the S&P 500 Index. The bond component of the Fund underperformed BARCAP during the period. The corporate and government related sectors were the largest detractors to relative performance for the bond component.
Can you discuss any significant changes to the Fund’s positioning throughout the period?
In our view, U.S. equities continue to look expensive from a valuation perspective, as the forward price-to-earnings ratio on the S&P 500 Index is well above its 25-year average. We have also not seen any fiscal policy changes come out of Washington in terms of tax cuts, infrastructure spending or a new healthcare program. This fiscal policy uncertainty could potentially weigh on the market in the near-term. We believe non-U.S. developed markets look attractive in relation to the U.S. market,

especially based on valuation measures. We have increased our equity exposure to non-U.S. developed markets and reduced our exposure to U.S. equities. We have also increased the portfolio’s allocation to fixed income during the period.
What portfolio holdings contributed positively and negatively to performance?
The Fund uses a team approach to allocate among multiple underlying funds managed by the Adviser in seeking to achieve its investment objectives. The performance of underlying funds contributed and detracted from Balanced Fund performance as follows:
The Pax Large Cap Fund underperformed the S&P 500 Index mainly due to an Energy sector overweight and stock selection within the sector.
The Pax ESG Beta Dividend Fund underperformed the Russell 1000 Index as the dividend yield factor tends to struggle in an environment dominated by growth stocks.
The Pax Mid Cap Fund underperformed the Russell Midcap Index due to Information Technology and Financial selections during the period.
The Pax MSCI EAFE ESG Leaders Index Fund outperformed the MSCI EAFE Index, adding to relative performance compared to the Blended Index.
The Pax Core Bond Fund underperformed the Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Aggreate Bond Index due to corporate and government related bond selections during the period. The Balanced Fund’s underweight to fixed income contributed to performance relative to the Blended Index.

Senior Vice President for Sustainable Investing Julie Gorte, Ph.D., |
New Opportunities, New Challenges
Six months ago, many people expected the newly elected administration to place numerous roadblocks before sustainable investing, and to deregulate in ways that freed companies to be as unsustainable as they wanted to be. Gloom and dread were the prevailing sentiments in sustainable investing.
Many of us, especially those who have been around for more than two decades, have been through some major political transitions before, and while they do change things, they never—not “almost never,” never—accomplish everything they promise during the campaign. Concern, preparation and extra effort are warranted when the winds of change blow against us, but despair is not. Here are a few examples of why.
We had a remarkably successful season of shareholder engagement in the first half of 2017. The largest success was a resolution that received a majority vote of over 67% at Occidental Petroleum that Pax World co-filed with the Nathan Cummings Foundation and Wespath Investment Management. The resolution asked the company to assess the long-term impacts of climate change on its business, something that every company should do if their business model is bonded to the fate of fossil fuels as a source of energy. The recent uptick in penetration of renewables into both the electricity generation market, and electric vehicles in the transportation market underscores the risks associated with business models that assume fossil fuels will be the dominant sources of energy for the foreseeable future.
Pax also co-filed climate change-related, or renewable energy-related, resolutions at UPS, ConocoPhillips and Dominion Resources. We were able to withdraw the resolution at UPS, and the votes at the others were 6.7% and 47.8%, respectively.
We continued our engagement on gender pay equality in 2017, expanding from the technology sector following successful engagements last year with Silicon Valley companies into financials. We achieved some progress in each of those engagements, though it wasn’t everything we wanted or asked for. Goldman Sachs, for example, agreed to publish a commitment to equal employment opportunity, including compensating all employees equitably at all levels. The company also agreed to analyze gender pay parity for U.S. employees across all job types and levels.
50
In all, we filed seven shareholder proposals asking that companies publish gender pay equity reports, and were able to successfully withdraw six of them after reaching agreements with the companies—Goldman Sachs, Bank of New York Mellon, Qualcomm, Verizon Communications, and AT&T—to do at least part of what we asked. The seventh, MasterCard, went to vote at the company’s annual meeting, and received a 7.8% vote in favor. That’s not a high vote, of course, but it’s enough to permit the resolution to be refiled next year. It can often take more than one year for shareholders to see the importance of certain issues, so a mediocre vote total the first year is not necessarily discouraging. We believe the votes on climate change this year are ample proof: when shareholders first began filing proposals on climate change-related issues with the oil majors, the vote totals were often somewhere between low and, well, meh.
And that brings us to the macro picture, or the political landscape. As this report is being written, Congress is considering passing a bill called the Financial CHOICE Act, one provision of which would make it difficult for any but the very largest funds on the planet to ever file a shareholder proposal. That provision would extend the ownership threshold for filing shareholder proposals to 1% of the company’s securities entitled to a vote; for large companies, that threshold would mean ownership of billions of dollars’ worth of stock, all in one company, within one fund, for three years (the current threshold is 1 year). Most funds, even those with billions of dollars in assets, don’t have position sizes that large in any one company. Pax has been active in a coalition of investors that has mobilized to urge the Senate not to pass the Financial CHOICE Act, and has provided resources showing that the shareholder engagement process is aimed at improving company performance, and often does.
We see engagement as a primary tool in our effort to invest sustainably, and make all investing more compatible with sustainability. That means working not only with companies in our portfolios, but working in the public policy arena when necessary to help assure that shareholders keep their right to communicate with their representatives—boards of directors—at companies they are part owners of.

Shareholder Expense Examples (Unaudited) |
Examples As a shareholder of the Funds, you incur ongoing costs, including management fees; distribution and/or service (12b-1) fees; and other Fund expenses. The examples on the next page are intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in each of the Funds and compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds. For more information, see the relevant Fund’s prospectus or talk to your financial adviser.
The examples are based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period beginning on January 1, 2017 and ending on June 30, 2017.
Please note that Individual Retirement Account (IRA), Coverdell Education Savings, Roth IRA, SEP-IRA, SIMPLE IRA, and 403(b)(7) accounts are charged an annual custodial fee of twelve dollars. If you are invested in one of these account types, you should add an additional six dollars to the estimated expenses paid during the period.
Actual Expenses For each Fund, the first table on the next page provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this table, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. For the Fund, simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.
Hypothetical Examples for Comparison Purposes For each Fund, the second table on the following pages provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on each Fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not each Fund’s actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Funds and other funds. To do so, compare these 5% hypothetical examples with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.
Please note that the expenses shown in the tables are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs. Therefore, the second table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition if these transactional costs were included, our costs would have been higher.

Pax World Funds Series Trust I and Pax World Fund Series Trust III
NOTE A—Organization and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Organization Pax World Funds Series Trust I (“Trust I”), which is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), is an open-end management investment company organized under the laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts on May 25, 2006. As of June 30, 2017, Trust I offered ten investment funds: Pax Large Cap Fund (the “Large Cap Fund”), Pax Mid Cap Fund (the “Mid Cap Fund”), Pax Small Cap Fund (the “Small Cap Fund”), Pax ESG Beta Quality Fund (the “ESG Beta Quality Fund”), Pax ESG Beta Dividend Fund (the “ESG Beta Dividend Fund”), Pax MSCI EAFE ESG Leaders Index Fund (the “EAFE ESG Leaders Fund”), Pax Global Environmental Markets Fund (the “Global Environmental Markets Fund”), Pax Core Bond Fund (the “Core Bond Fund”), Pax High Yield Bond Fund (the “High Yield Bond Fund”), and Pax Balanced Fund (the “Balanced Fund”).
Pax World Funds Series Trust III (“Trust III”) is an open-end management investment company that was organized under the laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts on December 4, 2013 and registered under the 1940 Act. Pax Ellevate Global Women’s Index Fund (the “Global Women’s Index Fund”) is a diversified series of Trust III.
These financial statements relate to all funds (each a “Fund”, collectively, the “Funds”) offered under both Trust I and Trust III (each a “Trust”, collectively, the “Trusts”).
Effective May 1, 2017, the name of the Pax MSCI International ESG Index Fund changed to Pax MSCI EAFE ESG Leaders Index Fund.
The Large Cap Fund, Mid Cap Fund, ESG Beta Dividend Fund, EAFE ESG Leaders Fund, Global Women’s Index Fund, Core Bond Fund and Balanced Fund each offer two classes of shares—Individual Investor Class shares and Institutional Class shares. The Small Cap Fund, ESG Beta Quality Fund, Global Environmental Markets Fund and High Yield Bond Fund each offer three classes of shares—Individual Investor Class shares, Class A shares and Institutional Class shares. Although all share classes generally have identical voting, dividend and liquidation rights, each class votes separately when required by law. Different share classes pay different distribution amounts to the extent the expenses of such classes differ, and distributions in liquidation will be proportional to the net asset value of each share class. Each share class has its own expense structure and sales charges, as applicable.
132
On May 1, 2017 all Class R shares of the Small Cap Fund, ESG Beta Quality Fund, EAFE ESG Leaders Fund, Global Environmental Markets Fund, High Yield Bond Fund and Balanced Fund were automatically converted to Individual Investor Class Shares of the same Fund.
The Funds seek to invest in forward-thinking companies with sustainable business models that meet positive environmental, social and governance standards. The Funds avoid investing in companies that their investment adviser determines are significantly involved in the manufacture of weapons or weapons-related products, manufacture tobacco products or engage in unethical business practices.
The Large Cap Fund’s investment objective is to seek long-term growth of capital. The Fund seeks to achieve this objective by investing, under normal market conditions, at least 80% of its assets in equity securities (such as common stocks, securities convertible into common or preferred stock and warrants) of companies that, when purchased, have market capitalizations within the range of the Standard & Poor’s 500 Index as measured by market capitalization.
The Mid Cap Fund’s investment objective is to seek long-term growth of capital. The Fund seeks to achieve this objective by investing, under normal market conditions, at least 80% of its assets in equity securities (such as common stocks, securities convertible into common or preferred stocks and warrants) of companies that, when purchased, have capitalizations within the range of the Russell Midcap Index as measured by market capitalization.
The Small Cap Fund’s investment objective is to seek long-term growth of capital. The Fund seeks to achieve this objective by investing, under normal market conditions, at least 80% of its assets in equity securities (such as common stocks, securities convertible into common or preferred stocks and warrants) of companies that, when purchased, have capitalizations within the range of the Russell 2000 Index as measured by market capitalization.
The ESG Beta Quality Fund’s investment objective is to seek long-term growth of capital. The Fund seeks to achieve this objective by investing, under normal market conditions, primarily in large-capitalization domestic equity securities of companies that the Adviser believes have strong Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) profiles and that exhibit higher “quality” characteristics and reasonable valuations.

Notes to Financial Statements (Unaudited), continued |
The ESG Beta Dividend Fund’s investment objective is income and capital appreciation. As a secondary objective and to the extent consistent with its primary investment objective, the ESG Beta Dividend Fund seeks capital preservation. The Fund seeks to achieve its investment objective by investing, under normal market conditions, at least 80% of its assets in equity securities that pay dividends.
The EAFE ESG Leaders Fund’s investment objective is to seek investment returns that closely correspond to the price and yield performance, before fees and expenses, of the MSCI EAFE ESG Leaders Index. The Fund seeks to achieve this objective by investing, under normal market conditions, more than 80% of its total assets in the component securities of the MSCI EAFE ESG Leaders Index and in american depositary receipts, global depositary receipts and euro depositary receipts representing component securities of the MSCI EAFE ESG Leaders Index.
The Global Women’s Index Fund’s investment objective is to seek investment returns that closely correspond to or exceed the price and yield performance, before fees and expenses, of the Pax Global Women’s Leadership Index (the “Women’s Index”), while maintaining risk characteristics that the Adviser believes are generally similar to those of the Women’s Index. The Fund seeks to achieve this objective by investing, under normal market conditions, more than 80% of its total assets in the component securities of the Women’s Index and in American depositary Receipts, global depositary receipts and euro depositary receipts representing the component securities of the Women’s Index, or an enhanced, optimized or representative sampling of the component securities of the Women’s Index, including at least 40% of its net assets (unless market conditions are not deemed favorable, in which case the Global Women’s Index Fund would normally invest at least 30% of its assets) in companies organized or located outside the U.S. or doing a substantial amount of business outside the U.S.
The Global Environmental Markets Fund’s investment objective is to seek long term growth of capital by investing in innovative companies around the world whose businesses and technologies focus on environmental markets, including alternative energy and energy efficiency; water infrastructure technologies and pollution control; environmental support services and waste management technologies; and sustainable food, agriculture and forestry. Under normal market conditions the Fund will primarily invest in equity securities (such as common stocks, preferred stocks and securities convertible into common and preferred stocks) of companies located around the world including at least 40% of its net assets in the securities of non-U.S. issuers.
134
The Core Bond Fund’s investment objective is to seek income and conservation of principal. The Fund seeks to achieve this objective by investing, under normal market conditions, at least 80% of its assets in bonds, which include debt obligations such as mortgage-related securities, securities issued by the United States Government or its agencies and instrumentalities, municipal bonds, corporate bonds and high-impact bonds (which provide financing to support solutions to global sustainability challenges) across the spectrum of issuers, each of which is, at the time of purchase, rated at least investment grade (rated BBB- or higher by Standard and Poor’s Ratings Group or Baa or higher by Moody’s Investors Service) or unrated and determined by the Adviser to be of comparable quality.
The High Yield Bond Fund’s primary investment objective is to seek high current income. As a secondary objective, the High Yield Bond Fund seeks capital appreciation. The Fund seeks to achieve this objective by investing, under normal market conditions, at least 80% of its assets in high-yield, fixed income securities (such as bonds, notes and debentures) that are rated below BBB- by Standard & Poor’s Ratings Group or below Baa3 by Moody’s Investors Service and other fixed income securities that are determined by the High Yield Bond Fund’s investment adviser to be of comparable quality (commonly referred to as “junk bonds”).
The Balanced Fund’s primary investment objective is to seek income and conservation of principal. As a secondary investment objective, the Fund seeks long-term growth of capital. The Fund seeks to achieve its investment objective, under normal market conditions, by investing (directly or indirectly through the use of Underlying Funds) approximately 60%-75% of its assets in equity securities (such as common stocks, preferred stocks and securities convertible into common or preferred stocks) and 25%-40% of its assets in debt securities (including but not limited to debt securities convertible into equity securities).
Under the Trusts’ organizational documents, its officers and trustees are indemnified against certain liabilities arising out of the performance of their duties to the Trusts. Additionally, in the normal course of business, the Trusts enter into contracts with service providers that contain general indemnification clauses. The Trusts’ maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this could involve future claims that may be made against the Trusts that have not yet occurred. However, based on experience, the Trusts expect this risk of loss to be remote.
Accounting Estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets
135
June 30, 2017 |
Notes to Financial Statements (Unaudited), continued |
and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The Funds apply Investment Company accounting and reporting guidance.
Valuation of Investments For purposes of calculating the net asset value (“NAV”), determined ordinarily as of the close of regular trading (normally 4:00 p.m. Eastern time) (the “NYSE Close”) on the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) on each day that the NYSE is open for trading, the Funds normally use pricing data for domestic equity securities received shortly after the NYSE Close and do not normally take into account trading, clearances or settlements that take place after the NYSE Close. U.S. fixed income and non-U.S. securities are normally priced using data reflecting the earlier closing of the principal markets for those securities, subject to possible fair value adjustments. Information that becomes known to the Funds or their agents after NAV has been calculated on a particular day will not generally be used to retroactively adjust the price of a security or NAV determined earlier that day.
For the purpose of these financial statements, fair values for various types of securities and other instruments are determined on the basis of closing prices or last sales prices on an exchange or other market, or based on quotes or other market information obtained from quotation reporting systems, established market makers or pricing services. Short-term investments having a maturity of 60 days or less are generally valued at amortized cost, which approximates fair value.
Investments denominated in currencies other than the U.S. dollar are converted to U.S. dollars using exchange rates obtained from pricing services. As a result, the NAV of a Fund’s shares may be affected by changes in the value of currencies in relation to the U.S. dollar.
If market quotations are not readily available (including in cases when available market quotations are deemed to be unreliable), the Funds’ investments will be valued as determined in good faith pursuant to policies and procedures approved by the Boards of Trustees (so called “fair value pricing”). Fair value pricing may require subjective determinations about the value of a security or other asset, and fair values used to determine a Fund’s NAV may differ from quoted or published prices, or from prices that are used by others, for the same investments. Also, the use of fair value pricing may not always result in adjustments to the prices of securities or other assets held by a Fund. The Boards have delegated to the Advisers’ Best Execution and Valuation Committee the day-to-day responsibility for making fair value pricing determinations with respect to Fund holdings. The Best Execution and Valuation Committee is comprised of representatives of the Advisers, including
136
several members of the Portfolio Management team, the Director of Trading, the Chief Compliance Officer and the Chief Financial Officer. One of the functions of the Best Execution and Valuation Committee is to value securities where current and reliable market quotations are not readily available. The Committee meets periodically and reports to the Board at each quarterly meeting regarding any securities for which fair value pricing was employed during the previous quarter. All actions taken by the Best Execution and Valuation Committee are reviewed and ratified by the Boards.
The Funds may determine that market quotations are not readily available due to events relating to a single issuer (e.g., corporate actions or announcements) or events relating to multiple issuers (e.g., governmental actions or natural disasters). The Funds may determine the fair value of investments based on information provided by pricing services and other third-party vendors, which may recommend fair value prices or adjustments with reference to other securities, indices or assets. In considering whether fair value pricing is required and in determining fair values, the Funds may, among other things, consider significant events (which may be considered to include changes in the value of U.S. securities or securities indices) that occur after the close of the relevant market and the usual time of valuation. At June 30, 2017, four securities were fair valued in good faith pursuant to policies and procedures approved by the Boards of Trustees. The Core Bond Fund held one security fair valued at $265,516 representing 0.04% of the Fund’s net asset value, and the High Yield Bond Fund held three securities fair valued at $382,246, representing 0.05% of the Fund’s net asset value.
For those Funds that invest in non-U.S. securities, investors should be aware that many securities markets and exchanges outside the U.S. close prior to the close of the NYSE, and the closing prices for securities in such markets or on such exchanges may not fully reflect events that occur after such close but before the close of the NYSE. As a result, the Funds’ fair value pricing procedures require the Funds to consider changes in the fair value of non-U.S. securities between the time of the closing of the local market’s exchange and the close of the NYSE. Generally, if there has been a movement in the U.S. market that exceeds a specified threshold, the Funds will assess whether the closing price on the local exchange is still appropriate. Although the threshold may be revised from time to time and the number of days on which fair value prices will be used will depend on market activity, it is possible that fair value prices will be used by the Funds to a significant extent. The value determined for an investment using the Funds’ fair value pricing procedures may differ from recent market prices for the investment.

Fair Value Measurements Fair value is defined as the price that the Fund would receive upon selling an investment in an orderly transaction between market participants. The three-tier hierarchy of inputs is summarized in the three broad Levels listed below.
| ● Level 1 – | unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical investments |
| ● Level 2 – | other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.) |
| ● Level 3 – | significant unobservable inputs (including the Funds’ own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments) |
Observable inputs are inputs that reflect the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability developed based on market data obtained from sources independent of the reporting entity. Unobservable inputs are inputs that reflect the reporting entity’s own assumptions about the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability developed based on the best information available in the circumstances. The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities. The following is a general summary of valuation inputs and classifications for different categories of securities.
Equity Securities Equity securities, including common stocks, preferred stocks and exchange-traded funds, for which market quotations are readily available, valued at the last reported sale price or official closing price as reported by an independent pricing service, are generally categorized as Level 1 in the hierarchy. Non-U.S. equity securities may also be valued at official close, or may be valued based on the fair value pricing procedures noted above. When third-party fair value pricing of foreign securities methods are applied, they are generally categorized as Level 2. To the extent that inputs for equity securities are unobservable, values are categorized as Level 3 in the hierarchy.
Fixed Income Securities Fixed income securities, including Corporate Bonds (both investment-grade and high-yield), U.S. Treasury Obligations, Government Bonds, Mortgage-Backed and Asset-Backed Securities, Bank Loans and Municipal Bonds, are valued at evaluated prices received from independent pricing services, which are evaluated using various inputs and techniques which may include trade activity, broker-dealer quotes, yield curves, coupon rates, default rates, cash flows, models and other inputs, and are generally categorized as Level 2 in the hierarchy. To the extent that inputs for fixed income securities are unobservable, values are categorized as Level 3 in the hierarchy.
138
Affiliated and Unaffiliated Investment Companies Investments in mutual funds are valued at the Funds’ closing net asset value and are generally categorized as Level 1.
Short-term Investments Short-term securities, including repurchase agreements, with remaining maturities of 60 days or less, which are valued at amortized cost, are generally categorized as Level 2 in the hierarchy.
The following is a summary of the inputs used to value the Funds’ net assets as of June 30, 2017:

Transfers in and out of Levels during the period are assumed to be transferred on the last day of the period at their current value. During the period, Level 1 to Level 2 transfers were: $40,538 for the Global Women’s Index Fund and $22,895,864 for the Global Environmental Markets Fund and Level 2 to Level 1 transfers were: $2,547,778 for the EAFE ESG Leaders Fund, $52,350 for the Global Women’s Index Fund and $15,747,111 for the Global Environmental Markets Fund. All such transfers were due to utilization of the pricing vendor’s fair value pricing of foreign securities.
Significant unobservable inputs were used by two Funds for Level 3 fair value measurements. The Core Bond Fund holds a position in a Community Investment note which is valued based on a general obligation by the parent entity to limit investment exposure on the note. The High Yield Bond Fund holds two securities of the same issuer which are deemed to be valued at zero based on company financial statements, and one security based on proprietary methodology derived from publicly available quotes of an affiliated issuer class of shares.

Investment Transactions Investment transactions are recorded as of the date of purchase, sale or maturity. Net realized gains and losses from the sale or disposition of securities are determined on the identified cost basis, which is also used for federal income tax purposes. Corporate actions (including cash dividends) are recorded net of foreign tax withholdings.
Investment Income Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date. Interest income is recorded on the accrual basis and includes accretion of discount and amortization of premiums, if any. The value of additional securities received as dividend payments is recorded as income and as an increase to the cost basis of such securities. The Funds amortize purchase price premium and accrete discount on bonds, if any, over the remaining life of the bonds using the effective interest method of amortization; for callable bonds, the amortization period is to the most likely call date.
Distributions to Shareholders Distributions to shareholders are recorded by each of the Funds on the ex-dividend dates. The Funds (except Core Bond Fund and High Yield Bond Fund) expect to pay dividends of net investment income, if any, semiannually and to make distributions of capital gains, if any, at least annually. The Core Bond Fund and High Yield Bond Fund expect to pay dividends of net investment income, if any, monthly and to make distributions of capital gains, if any, at least annually. A shareholder begins earning dividends on the Core Bond Fund and High Yield Bond Fund shares the day after the Funds receive his or her purchase payment. Income and capital gains distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.
Class Accounting Expenses directly attributable to a class of shares, such as 12b-1 distribution fees, are charged to that class. Each Fund has adopted a 12b-1 plan, applicable to certain classes of each of the Funds. Expenses of the Funds that are directly identifiable to a specific Fund, such as transfer agent fees, custody fees and registration fees, are applied to that Fund. Expenses that are not readily identifiable to a specific Fund, such as printing expense, Trustees’ fees and legal fees, are allocated in such a manner as deemed equitable, taking into consideration the nature and type of expense and the relative net assets of the Funds. Investment income, realized and unrealized gains and losses are allocated based upon the relative daily net assets of each class of shares.
Federal Income Taxes Each of the Funds intends to elect to be treated and qualify each year as a regulated investment company under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”). If a Fund so qualifies and satisfies certain distribution requirements, such Fund will ordinarily not be subject
142
to federal income tax on its net investment income (which includes short-term capital gains) and net capital gains that it distributes to shareholders. Each Fund expects to distribute all or substantially all of its income and gains to shareholders every year. Therefore, no Federal income or excise tax provision is required. The Funds are treated as separate entities for U.S. Federal income tax purposes.
Foreign Currency Transactions The accounting records of the Funds are maintained in U.S. dollars. In addition, purchases and sales of investment securities, dividend and interest income, and certain expenses are translated at the rates of exchange prevailing on the respective dates of such transactions. Net realized and unrealized foreign currency exchange gains or losses occurring during the holding period of investment securities are a component of realized gain (loss) on investment transactions and unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on investments, respectively.
Non-U.S. Securities Non-U.S. markets can be significantly more volatile than domestic markets, causing the prices of some of the Fund’s investments to fluctuate significantly, rapidly and unpredictably. Non-U.S. securities may be less liquid than domestic securities; consequently, the Fund may at times be unable to sell non-U.S. securities at desirable times or prices. Other risks related to non-U.S. securities include delays in the settlement of transactions; less publicly available information about issuers; different reporting, accounting and auditing standards; the effect of political, social, diplomatic or economic events; seizure, expropriation or nationalization of the issuer or its assets; fluctuation in foreign currency exchange rates and the possible imposition of currency exchange controls. If the Fund invests substantially in securities of non-U.S. issuers tied economically to a particular country or geographic region, it will be subject to the risks associated with such country or geographic region to a greater extent than a fund that is more diversified across countries or geographic regions.
Securities Lending The Funds may lend their securities pursuant to a securities lending agreement (Lending Agreement) with State Street Bank and Trust Company. Initial security loans made pursuant to the Lending Agreement are required to be secured by collateral not less than the percentage specified in the agreement, ranging from 102% to 105%, depending on the types of securities. Cash collateral received is invested in the State Street Navigator Securities Lending Government Money Market Portfolio, a registered Rule 2a-7 money market fund. Borrowers may also pledge non-cash collateral within the guidelines for acceptable forms of non-cash collateral approved by the Boards of Trustees. At June 30, 2017, non-cash collateral consisted of U.S. Treasuries and short-term U.S. Government Agency obligations.
143
June 30, 2017 |
Notes to Financial Statements (Unaudited), continued |
The Funds have the right under the Lending Agreement to recover the securities from the borrower on demand. The primary risk associated with securities lending is if the Borrower defaults on its obligation to return the securities loaned because of insolvency or other reasons. The Funds could experience delays and costs in recovering securities loaned or in gaining access to the collateral. In the event the borrower fails to return loaned securities and the collateral received is insufficient to cover the value of the loaned securities and provided such collateral shortfall is not the result of investment losses, the lending agent has agreed to pay the amount of the shortfall to the Funds, or at the discretion of the lending agent, replace the loaned securities.
A portion of the income generated upon investment of the collateral is remitted to the borrower and the remainder is allocated between the Funds and the lending agent. The Funds record security lending income net of such allocation. The Funds continue to receive dividends on the securities loaned, which are accounted for in the same manner as other dividend and interest income.
As of June 30, 2017, the value of securities loaned, payable for collateral due to brokers and non-cash collateral pledged by brokers were as follows:
Fund | | Market Value of Securities Loaned | | | Payable on Collateral Due to Broker | | | Non-Cash Collateral Value* | | | Over (Under) Collateralized | |

148
Options Transactions The Funds may buy and sell put and call options, or write put and covered call options on portfolio securities in order to produce incremental earnings or protect against changes in the value of portfolio securities. The Funds generally purchase put options or write covered call options to hedge against adverse movements in the value of portfolio holdings. When an option is written, the Fund receives a premium and becomes obligated to sell or purchase the underlying security at a fixed price, upon the exercise of the option.
Options are valued daily based upon the last sale price of the principal exchange on which the option is traded and unrealized appreciation or depreciation is recorded. The Fund will realize a gain or loss upon the expiration or closing of the option transaction. When an option is exercised, the proceeds on sale for a written call option, the purchase cost for a written put option, or the cost of the security for a purchased put or call option is adjusted by the amount of premium received or paid.
Securities designated to cover outstanding call or put options are noted in the Schedules of Investments. Contracts subject to call or put, expiration date, exercise price, premium received and market value are detailed in the notes to the Schedules of Investments. Options written are reported as a liability in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities. Realized gains and losses are reported in the Statements of Operations.
There are risks associated with transactions in options on securities. The risk in writing a call option is that the Fund gives up the opportunity for profit if the market price of the security increases above the exercise price and the option is exercised. The risk in writing a put option is that the Fund may incur a loss if the market price of the security continues to decrease after the option is exercised. The risk in buying an option is that the Funds pay a premium whether or not the option is exercised. The Funds also have the additional risk of not being able to enter into a closing transaction before the exercise date if a liquid secondary market does not exist.
There were no purchased options as of and during the period ended June 30, 2017. The Funds did not hold any open written equity option contracts as of June 30, 2017.
Netting Agreements During the ordinary course of business, the Funds may enter into transactions subject to enforceable netting agreements or other similar arrangements (“netting agreements”). Generally, the right to offset in netting agreements allows a Fund to offset any exposure to a specific counterparty with any collateral received or delivered to that counterparty based on the terms of the
149
June 30, 2017 |
Notes to Financial Statements (Unaudited), continued |
agreement. Generally, a Fund manages its cash collateral and securities collateral on a counterparty basis. As of June 30, 2017, there is no collateral held at the counterparty for these positions that would be offset by a master netting agreement that the Funds have with the counterparty. The Funds did not hold any derivative instruments as of June 30, 2017.
Affiliated Investments The term “affiliated company” includes other investment companies that are managed by a Fund’s Adviser. At June 30, 2017, the Balanced Fund held the following investments in affiliated Funds:
Fund | | Shares Held at 6/30/17 | | | Value at 12/31/16 | | | Gross Additions | | | Gross Reductions | | | Value at 06/30/17 | | | Income Distributions | |

Income distributions from affiliates are included as dividend income and capital gain dividends are included as realized gains on the Statement of Operations. Gross additions include reinvestment of dividends.
The Funds are permitted to purchase and sell securities (“cross-trade”) from and to other Funds within the Trusts or other accounts managed by the Adviser pursuant to “Cross-Trading” Procedures adopted by the Trust’s Board of Trustees. These procedures have been designed to ensure that any cross-trade of securities by the respective fund from or to another fund or account that is or could be considered an affiliate of the fund under certain limited circumstances by virtue of having a common investment adviser complies with Rule 17a-7 of the 1940 Act. Further, as defined under these procedures, each cross-trade is effected at the current market price to save costs where allowed. Pursuant to these procedures, for the period ended June 30, 2017, the EAFE ESG Leaders Fund and Global Women’s Index Fund engaged in cross-trades. The EAFE ESG Leaders Fund and Global Women’s Index Fund had total purchases of $474,267 and $1,021,576 and total sales of $1,021,576 and $474,267, respectively. The EAFE ESG Leaders realized net losses of $1,681 and the Global Women’s Index Fund realized net losses of $32 as a result of the sales.
Restricted and Illiquid Securities The Funds may purchase certain restricted securities and limited amounts of illiquid securities. The Funds may invest in securities exempt from registration under Rule 144A of the Securities Act of 1933 (“the Act”) which are restricted from sale to the public and may only be sold to a qualified institutional buyer. The Funds do not have the right to demand
150
that such securities be registered. The value of such securities is determined by valuations supplied by a pricing service or, if not available, in good faith by or at the direction of the Boards of Trustees. At June 30, 2017, the Core Bond Fund held $19,020,109 or 2.79% of net assets and the High Yield Bond Fund held $207,883,850 or 49.86% of net assets in securities exempt from registration under Rule 144A of the Act.
At June 30, 2017, the Core Bond Fund held $265,516 of illiquid securities representing 0.04% of net assets and High Yield Bond Fund held $13,222,853 of illiquid securities, representing 3.17% of net assets. The Fund will classify as “illiquid” all securities that may no longer be disposed of within seven days in the ordinary course of business at approximately the amount at which the Fund has valued such security for the purpose of calculating the Fund’s net asset value. Illiquid investments may include restricted securities, repurchase agreements that mature in more than seven days or that have a notice or demand feature more than seven days, certain over-the-counter option contracts and participation interests in loans. Because illiquid securities trade less frequently and in smaller volume than liquid securities, the Fund may experience difficulty in closing out positions at prevailing market prices.

NOTE D—Tax Information
The timing and characterization of certain income and capital gains distributions are determined annually in accordance with federal tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP. In addition to permanent differences previously noted, temporary differences may arise from recognition of certain items of income, expense, gain or loss in different periods for financial reporting and tax purposes. Such differences will reverse at some time in the future. As a result, net investment income (loss)
151
June 30, 2017 |
Notes to Financial Statements (Unaudited), continued |
and net realized gain (loss) on investment transactions for a reporting period may differ significantly from distributions during such period. For tax purposes, short-term capital gains are considered ordinary income.
The tax character of distributions paid during 2017 and 2016 was as follows:

During the period from November 1, 2016 through December 31, 2016, Global Environmental Markets incurred a qualified ordinary late-year loss of $76,594 and the Mid Cap Fund incurred a qualified capital late-year loss of $410,264. These losses are treated for federal income tax purposes as if they had occurred on January 1, 2017.
As of December 31, 2016, for federal income tax purposes, the following Funds had capital loss carryforwards available to offset future gains, if any, to the extent provided by the Treasury regulations:
| | No Expiration | |
Fund | | Short-term | | | Long-term | |
EAFE ESG Leaders | | $ | 6,292,554 | | | $ | 9,957,953 | |
Global Environmental Markets | | | 597,892 | | | | 744,639 | |
Core Bond Fund | | | 14,536 | | | | — | |
High Yield Bond | | | 30,785,566 | | | | 29,370,288 | |
Uncertain Tax Positions Management has analyzed the Funds’ tax positions taken for all open tax years which remain subject to examination by the Funds’ major tax jurisdictions (years 2013 through 2016). The Funds recognize interest and penalties, if any, related to tax liabilities as income tax expense in the Statement of Operations. Management has concluded that, as of and during the year ended December 31, 2016, no provision for federal income tax is necessary and, therefore, the Funds did not have a liability for any unrecognized tax expenses.

NOTE E—Board Approval of Advisory and Sub-Advisory Agreements
Review Process. The 1940 Act requires that the Trustees of the Trusts request and evaluate, and that the Advisers furnish, such information as may reasonably be necessary for the Trustees of the Trusts to evaluate the terms of the relevant Trust’s Management Contracts. Similarly, the 1940 Act requires that the Trustees of Trust I request and evaluate, and that each of Impax Asset Management Ltd. (“Impax”) and Aperio Group, LLC (“Aperio”) (each a “Subadviser” and collectively, the “Subadvisers”) furnish, such information as may reasonably be necessary for the Trustees of Trust I to evaluate the terms of its respective subadvisory contract (each a “Subadvisory Contract” and collectively, the “Subadvisory Contracts”) among Trust I, PWM and such Subadviser. The Trustees who are not “interested persons” (as defined in Section 2(a)(19) of the 1940 Act) of the Trusts (the “Independent Trustees”) met in person in March and June of 2017 for the purpose of considering the Management Contracts and each Subadvisory Contract (the “contract review

meetings”). In addition, the Trustees of each Trust consider matters bearing on the relevant Trust and its investment management and other arrangements at their regular meetings throughout the year, including reviews of investment results and performance data at each regular meeting and periodic presentations from the Advisers and each Subadviser.
During the course of the contract review meetings, the Trustees met and discussed the Management Contracts and each Subadvisory Contract with representatives of the Advisers. The Independent Trustees were assisted in their evaluation of the Management Contracts and each Subadvisory Contract by independent legal counsel, from whom they received assistance and advice, including a written memorandum regarding the legal standards applicable to the consideration of advisory arrangements, and with whom they met separately from management. The Independent Trustees requested additional information, to which management responded.
In their deliberations, the Trustees did not identify any particular information that was all-important or controlling. Some of the factors that figured particularly in the Trustees’ deliberations are described below, although individual Trustees may have evaluated the information presented differently from one another, or given different weights to various factors in reaching their unanimous conclusion. The Trustees’ conclusions were based, in part, on their consideration of these arrangements during the course of the year and in prior years. The Trustees evaluated the information available to them on a Fund-by-Fund basis, and their determinations were made separately in respect of each applicable Fund; however, they also took into account the common interests of all the Funds in their review.
Nature, Extent and Quality of Services. In considering the Management Contracts and each Subadvisory Contract, the Trustees, including the Independent Trustees, evaluated the nature, extent and quality of the advisory services provided to each Trust by the relevant Adviser and, with respect to Trust I, each Subadviser. They considered the terms of the relevant Management Contract and each Subadvisory Contract, as applicable, and received and considered information provided by management that described, among other matters:
| ● | the nature and scope of the advisory services provided to the Funds and information regarding the experience, qualifications and adequacy of the personnel providing those services, |
| ● | the investment program used by each Adviser and Subadviser to manage the Funds, |
154
| ● | possible conflicts of interest and fall-out benefits, |
| ● | the compliance functions of each Adviser and Subadviser, and |
| ● | financial results, assets under management and other information relating to the financial resources of each Adviser. |
In addition to considering the Funds’ investment performance (see below), the Trustees of each Trust considered, among other matters, the general oversight of the relevant Trust by its Adviser. They also took into account information concerning the investment philosophies and processes used by the Advisers and each Subadviser in managing the Pax Funds as well as their in-house investment and sustainable research capabilities. They also considered various investment resources available to the Advisers and each Subadviser, including research services acquired with “soft dollars” available to the Advisers and each Subadviser as a result of securities transactions effected for the Funds.
The Trustees considered, among other matters, that each Adviser provides the relevant Trust with office space and personnel, and provides oversight and coordination of the Funds’ third-party service providers. These services include accounting, bookkeeping, tax, legal, audit, custody and transfer agency services, and preparation of prospectuses, shareholder reports and other regulatory filings. They also took into account the Advisers’ compliance and operational functions, as well as the resources being devoted by the Advisers to such functions.
The Trustees concluded, within the context of their overall conclusions regarding the Management Contracts and each Subadvisory Contract, that the scope of the services provided to each Fund under the relevant Management Contract, and to each Fund by its applicable Subadviser, was consistent with such Fund’s operational requirements; that the Advisers have the capabilities, resources and personnel necessary to provide the advisory services currently required by each Fund; and that, overall, the nature, extent and quality of the services provided by the Advisers to the relevant Trust, and each applicable Subadviser to each Fund, were sufficient to warrant approval of the Management Contracts and each Subadvisory Contract.
Fund Performance. In connection with the contract review meetings, the Trustees, including the Independent Trustees, reviewed information prepared by Broadridge Financial Solutions, Inc. (“Broadridge”) regarding the total return investment performance of each Fund, comparing each Fund’s investment results with those of other mutual funds within their Broadridge peer group over the 1-, 3-, 5- and
155
June 30, 2017 |
Notes to Financial Statements (Unaudited), continued |
10-year periods (to the extent the Fund had been in existence) ended March 31, 2017. The Trustees, including the Independent Trustees, considered the extent to which the performance of each Fund might be compared to that of other mutual funds that employ sustainable or socially responsible investing practices, but in light of the limited number of such funds pursuing investment strategies similar to those of the Funds, determined that the broader peer groups identified by Broadridge may represent a more appropriate comparison. The Independent Trustees considered, in particular, that the Balanced Fund had outperformed its Broadridge performance universe average for the 3-year period, but had underperformed its performance universe for the 1-, 5-, and 10-year periods. The Independent Trustees also considered that the Balanced Fund’s performance relative to its performance universe had improved since the Fund was restructured in early 2015. The Trustees further considered PWM’s process for determining the Balanced Fund’s allocations between equities and fixed income and between U.S. and international investments as well as PWM’s belief that the services provided to the Balanced Fund, which invests in other Pax Funds, were not duplicative of services provided to such other Pax Funds. The Independent Trustees considered that each of the Large Cap Fund and ESG Beta Quality Fund had performed in line with its Broadridge performance universe average since inception and since a mandate change effective June 30, 2016, respectively. The Independent Trustees considered that each of the Small Cap Fund and EAFE ESG Leaders Fund had outperformed its Broadridge performance universe average for the 3- and 5-year periods and since inception, but had underperformed its performance universe average for the 1-year period. The Independent Trustees considered that the Mid Cap Fund had underperformed its Broadridge performance universe average for the 1-year period and since inception. The Independent Trustees considered that the Global Environmental Markets Fund had outperformed its Broadridge performance universe average for the 3- and 5-year periods, but had underperformed its performance universe average for the 1-year period and since inception. The Independent Trustees considered that the ESG Beta Dividend Fund had outperformed its Broadridge performance universe for the since inception period. The Independent Trustees considered that the Global Women’s Index Fund had outperformed its Broadridge performance universe average for the 3- and 5-year periods and since it was reorganized in 2014, but had underperformed its performance universe average for the 1-year period. The Trustees noted that the performance of the Global Women’s Index Fund for periods prior to its reorganization as a series of Trust III was that of the Global Women’s Equality Fund, which had followed a different investment strategy, and therefore may be of less relevance to an evaluation of PEM’s performance in managing the Global Women’s Index Fund. The Independent Trustees considered that the High Yield Bond Fund had outperformed its Broadridge performance universe average for
156
the 1-year period, but had underperformed its performance universe average for the 3-, 5- and 10-year periods. The Independent Trustees also considered that shorter-term performance results for the High Yield Bond Fund had continued to improve under new management. The Independent Trustees considered that the Core Bond Fund had underperformed its Broadridge performance universe average for the since inception period. The Independent Trustees also considered the steps taken by the Adviser to improve the performance of the Pax Funds that had underperformed their peers and/or benchmarks over longer periods.
In addition to the information reviewed by the Trustees at the contract review meetings, the Trustees receive during the year detailed comparative performance information for each Pax Fund including performance relative to one or more selected securities indices or other benchmarks. The Trustees also considered the portfolio turnover rates of each Fund.
Based on this and other information, the Trustees concluded, within the context of their overall conclusions regarding the Management Contracts and each Subadvisory Contract, that the relevant performance record and process in managing each Fund were sufficient to support approval of the Management Contracts and each Subadvisory Contract.
Fees and Other Expenses. The Trustees, including the Independent Trustees, considered the advisory fees paid by each Pax Fund to the relevant Adviser, and the Trustees of Trust I, including the Independent Trustees, considered subadvisory fees paid to each Subadviser by PWM, as well as each Fund’s distribution and service (Rule 12b-1) fees, “other expenses” and total expenses. In doing so, the Trustees reviewed both information provided by management and information prepared by Broadridge regarding the expenses of each Fund relative to those of each Fund’s Broadridge peer group (or, for the Global Environmental Markets Fund, relative to a peer group identified by PWM as emphasizing clean technology investments). The Independent Trustees considered that the total expenses of each of the Funds (after giving effect to the expense reimbursements described below, if applicable), other than ESG Beta Quality, ESG Beta Dividend, EAFE ESG Leaders, Core Bond and High Yield Bond Funds, were below the median total expenses of its respective peer group. The Independent Trustees considered that the total expenses for each of the ESG Beta Quality Fund and the ESG Beta Dividend Fund were above average for, and equal to median total expenses of, its respective peer group. The Independent Trustees also considered that total expenses for each of the Core Bond Fund and High Yield Bond Fund were slightly above average for, though within the range of, its respective peer group. The Independent Trustees considered that the total expenses of the EAFE ESG Leaders Fund were thirteen basis points higher than its peer group. The Independent Trustees considered
157
June 30, 2017 |
Notes to Financial Statements (Unaudited), continued |
supplemental information demonstrating that the EAFE ESG Leaders Fund was priced below peer socially-responsible investing index funds and that its peer group’s average expenses were driven lower by large index funds sponsored by large, well-known sponsors. The Independent Trustees also considered that the management fees of all actively managed Funds other than the Large Cap and the Core Bond Funds (after giving effect to the expense reimbursements described below, if applicable) were below their peer group average and median. In connection with their review, the Trustees of Trust I considered PWM’s agreement to reimburse the Global Environmental Markets Fund to the extent such Fund’s total operating expenses (other than interest, commissions, taxes, extraordinary expenses and acquired fund fees and expenses, if any) exceed a percentage of average daily net assets per annum of each share class as follows: 0.98% for Institutional Class shares, 1.23% for Individual Investor Class shares and 1.23% for Class A shares before December 31, 2018. The Independent Trustees also noted that, under the Management Contracts with respect to the EAFE ESG Leaders Fund, the ESG Beta Quality Fund, the ESG Beta Dividend Fund, the Balanced Fund and the Global Women’s Index Fund, the relevant Adviser was obligated to pay all of the operating costs and expenses of the Fund (other than taxes, charges of governmental agencies, interest, brokerage commissions incurred in connection with portfolio transactions, distribution and/or service fees payable under a plan pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act, acquired fund fees and expenses and extraordinary expenses), including accounting expenses, administrator, transfer agent and custodian fees, Fund legal fees and other expenses.
The Trustees of Trust I considered the expenses indirectly borne by the Balanced Fund through its investment in other funds (including funds advised by PWM), and the extent to which the services provided by PWM to such Fund afforded the Fund access to a more diversified investment portfolio than would otherwise have been practicable in light of the Funds’ current asset levels. The Trustees of each Trust noted that the relevant Adviser, at the time of the contract review meetings, did not have a significant institutional advisory business outside of the Funds, and considered the differences in the services provided and proposed to be provided to institutional clients and those provided to the Funds, as well as differences in the advisory fees charged and proposed to be charged to such clients and those charged to the Funds. The Trustees observed that the Funds’ advisory fees and total expenses remained generally in line with those of other mutual funds identified by Broadridge (or, for the Global Environmental Markets Fund, PWM).
The Trustees, including the Independent Trustees, also considered that most of the Funds, including the EAFE ESG Leaders Fund, are on the “Less Expenses” side of a 4-quadrant performance versus expenses summary, which is based on a 5-year
158
period. The Trustees considered that the Mid Cap Fund, which had expenses within 1 bps of its Broadridge performance universe, was split between the “Less Return Less Expenses” quadrant and the “Less Return More Expenses” quadrant. The Trustees considered that the High Yield Bond Fund, which had underperformed over the 5-year period, was in the “Less Return More Expenses” quadrant. The Trustees also noted that the new Funds, including the Large Cap Fund, the ESG Beta Dividend Fund and the Core Bond Fund, were excluded from the 4-quadrant performance versus expenses summary. Based on these observations, the Trustees concluded that the Pax Funds generally have lower expenses than their peers.
Based on this and other information, the Trustees concluded, within the context of their overall conclusions regarding the Management Contracts and each Subadvisory Contract, that the fees and expenses to be charged represented reasonable compensation to the Advisers and each Subadviser in light of the services provided. In coming to this conclusion, the Trustees took into account, among other factors, the fee waiver and reimbursement agreement described above.
Costs of Services Provided and Profitability. The Trustees of each Trust, including the Independent Trustees, reviewed information regarding the cost of services provided by each Adviser and the estimated profitability of each Adviser’s relationship with the relevant Trust, including a profitability report prepared by management detailing the costs of services provided to each Fund by the relevant Adviser, and the estimated profitability to PWM, for the year ended December 31, 2016, of its advisory relationship with each Fund, and the estimated profitability to PEM, for the year ended December 31, 2016, of its advisory relationship with the Global Women’s Index Fund. The Trustees recognized that each Adviser should, in the abstract, be entitled to earn a reasonable level of profit for the services provided to each Fund, and that it is difficult to make comparisons of profitability from mutual fund advisory contracts because comparative information is not generally available and is affected by numerous factors, including the structure of the particular adviser, the types of funds it manages, its business mix, numerous assumptions about cost allocations and each Adviser’s capital structure and cost of capital. The Trustees of each Trust concluded that, taking all of the foregoing into account, they were satisfied that each Adviser’s level of profitability from its relationship with the relevant Trust was not excessive. The Trustees of Trust I did not consider the profitability of any Subadvisory Contract to the relevant Subadviser because the structure of each Subadvisory Contract is such that any profits to the applicable Subadviser reduce the profitability of PWM, and the fees payable under each Subadvisory Contract are the product of arm’s-length bargaining between the applicable Subadviser and PWM.

Possible Fall-Out Benefits. The Trustees of Trust I, including the Independent Trustees, considered information regarding the direct and indirect benefits to PWM and each Subadviser from their relationships with the respective Pax Funds, including reputational and other “fall out” benefits. During the course of the year, the Trustees of Trust I received presentations from PWM about its trading practices and brokerage arrangements, including its policies with respect to research provided in connection with trade execution for the relevant Funds (soft dollar arrangements), and the Trustees of Trust I accepted the representation of PWM that it fulfills its fiduciary obligation of seeking best execution when engaging in portfolio transactions for the Funds. The Trustees of Trust I considered the receipt of these benefits in light of PWM’s profitability, and concluded that such benefits were not excessive.
The Trustees of Trust III, including the Independent Trustees, considered information regarding the direct and indirect benefits to PEM from its relationship with the Global Women’s Index Fund, including reputational and other “fall out” benefits. The Trustees of Trust III considered the receipt of these benefits in light of PEM’s profitability, and concluded that such benefits were not excessive.
Possible Economies of Scale. The Trustees, including the Independent Trustees, considered the extent to which the Advisers and each Subadviser, as applicable, may realize economies of scale or other efficiencies in managing and supporting the Funds. They noted that as assets increase, certain fixed costs may be spread across a larger asset base, and it was noted that any economies of scale or other efficiencies might be realized (if at all) across a variety of products and services, including the Funds, and not only in respect of a single Fund. The Independent Trustees noted that PWM was still losing money on the Global Women’s Index Fund on a pre- and post- distribution basis and was losing money on a post-distribution basis on the High Yield Bond Fund and the EAFE ESG Leaders Fund. The Independent Trustees noted that many of the Funds are small by industry standards, and that it was therefore not necessary to engage in more substantive discussions of possible breakpoints or other fee reductions at this time. The Trustees further noted the fee waiver and reimbursement agreement described above. Based on these observations, the Independent Trustees concluded that the Funds’ overall fee arrangements represent an appropriate sharing at the present time between Fund shareholders and the relevant Adviser and Subadviser (where applicable) of any economies of scale or other efficiencies in the management of each Fund at current asset levels.
Conclusions. Based on their evaluation of factors that they deemed to be material, including those factors described above, the Board of Trustees of each Trust, including the Independent Trustees, unanimously concluded that the continuation of the Management Contracts with respect to each Fund and the continuation of the Subadvisory Contracts, was in the best interests of the Funds and should be approved.
