Letter to Shareholders |

![](https://capedge.com/proxy/N-CSRS/0001398344-19-015063/fp0042993_5.jpg)
Dear fellow shareholders,
The first six months of 2019 were positive ones for U.S. stocks, with the S&P 500 Index returning 18.54%, NASDAQ returning 20.66%, and the Russell 2000 Index of small cap stocks returning 16.98%. Global developed markets lagged the U.S., but the MSCI EAFE Index still managed to deliver a solid return of 14.03% over that time period. Emerging market stocks also did well, with the MSCI Emerging Markets Index returning 10.58%. Many, if not most, country stock indices have been in positive territory, including Germany (17.42%), France (17.09%), China (10.43%) and India (9.22%). Even Great Britain with its Brexit woes was in positive territory, with the FTSE 100 returning 13.06% through June 30, 2019. Finally, with continued low interest rates, bonds have also delivered solid returns, with the Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index returning 6.11%. As I write in early August, market forecasts remain cautiously optimistic.
The two largest contributors to market optimism at mid-year seemed to be, first, reduced fears of a trade war between the U.S. and China, as President Trump and Chinese President Xi Jinping signaled a willingness to return to the negotiating table, and second, global markets continued to be fueled by accommodative, if not outright dovish, central bank policy not only from the U.S. Federal Reserve (Fed) but also from Mario Draghi, President of the European Central Bank as well. The trade truce may be breaking down as I write in early August, however, and monetary stimulus may not be enough if a full-scale trade war ensues.
In the U.S., suggestions by Fed President Jerome Powell that the central bank may cut interest rates have certainly buoyed the market but have also raised concerns about the continued independence of the Fed. The Fed’s authority to set monetary policy is supposed to be focused on two — and only two — goals: maintaining price stability (i.e., controlling inflation) and stable employment. Because higher levels of employment may trigger inflation and higher inflation may depress employment, the Fed’s role in setting interest rates is aimed at stabilizing these competing but vital economic indicators. Unemployment and inflation are at their lowest levels in decades, however, so it is curious that the Fed would signal a willingness to lower interest rates in the current environment. Curious, that is, unless understood as an effort to appease President Trump — who unlike prior presidents has openly criticized and tried to steer Fed policy — and to appease the stock market as well, which has arguably become addicted to the sugar high of monetary and fiscal
stimulus. The perception that, with inflation and unemployment so low, the Fed is being bullied into an otherwise inexplicable dovish stance in order to juice the markets, is, frankly, difficult to avoid and ultimately may be difficult for the Fed’s reputation to recover from.
There also continues to be a fair amount of political risk in the marketplace, potentially triggered by trade and tariff concerns, the continuing Brexit drama, geopolitical instability in the western alliance or more immediate concerns, such as the threat of military confrontation with Iran or North Korea. Moreover, the U.S. is entering another election cycle where political calculations are more likely to drive economic policy, so all bets are off.
There are other storm clouds on the horizon, as well, that perhaps don’t get the attention they deserve. I would certainly put widening inequality in this category, as the global economic recovery seems to be focused more on the investor class than on spreading the benefits more equitably across societies. Clearly, anemic efforts by global policymakers to address and mitigate climate change — not to mention the current U.S. administration’s apparent preference for bringing back coal rather than reducing emissions — is another looming disaster. There is also an enormous global debt overhang — sovereign debt, corporate debt and household debt — that has the potential to be tremendously destabilizing, particularly if we enter a rising interest rate environment or should tariffs, trade wars or recession squeeze incomes to the point where it becomes more difficult to service these debts. Finally, we continue to kick the can down the road rather than make critical investments in infrastructure and human capital at a time when historically low borrowing costs could have facilitated such badly needed investments. Instead, economic policy, to the extent it’s not in total disarray, seems focused on the exceedingly short term, and mostly on delivering tax cuts and stock market gains to the one percent.
Sustainable investing, on the other hand, is focused on the long term, and specifically on the risks and opportunities arising from the transition to a more sustainable global economy. This means that we look at issues that other investment managers may ignore, and we believe this helps us build more durable investment portfolios better able to withstand the ups and downs of the market. You undoubtedly recall, for example, that the fourth quarter of 2018 was one of the worst quarters in recent years, with a precipitously steep December decline. Nevertheless, for the one-year period ended June 30, 2019, the institutional class shares of ten out of the eleven Pax World Funds performed in the top 50 percent of their peer categories, while six of eleven were in the top quartile. We firmly believe that our focus on integrating environmental, social and governance factors into investment analysis
and portfolio construction helps us better uncover opportunities and better understand risks, and thus build investment portfolios that we believe hold more promise for the long term.
On this note, I’m delighted to inform you that the Pax Ellevate Global Women’s Leadership Fund (PXWIX) received the 2019 Fund Intelligence “Fund Innovation Award,” which recognizes novel achievements in product development, investment strategy and distribution, and our Pax Global Environmental Markets Fund (PGINX) was named “Best Environmental Fund” by Environmental Finance. Of course, you, our shareholders, have long recognized the promise of these investment strategies, but we’re truly humbled and happy that some of our funds are gaining the industry-wide recognition that we think they deserve.
I hope the remainder of 2019 brings good things to you and yours. On behalf of the entire team here at Impax and Pax, I extend our very best wishes.
Sincerely,

Portfolio Managers’ Comments |
How did the Pax Large Cap Fund (the Fund) perform for the period?
For the six-month period ended June 30, 2019, the Institutional Class and Investor Class of the Fund had total returns of 18.75% and 18.64%, respectively, compared to 18.54% for the S&P 500 Index and 17.09% for the Lipper Large-Cap Core Funds Index.
What factors contributed to the Fund’s performance?
Performance was driven by strong stock selection, and was particularly favorable in the Industrials, Financials and Real Estate Investment Trust (“REIT”) sectors. These areas of outperformance were partially offset by an overweight at the beginning of the period in the Health Care sector, which lagged the broader market during the period, and holdings in the Health Care and Communication Services sectors, which performed weakly for the Fund.
Can you discuss any significant changes to the Fund’s positioning throughout the period?
We added eight new stocks to the portfolio in the first half of 2019, using our fundamental ESG integrated approach of seeking companies that we believe exhibit strong and improving financial metrics, and that also demonstrate leadership from an ESG perspective. Examples of these ESG leaders are Procter & Gamble and Equinix. Positions that exceeded our price targets include McCormick and Eli Lilly, which were sold to make room for, in our view, better ideas in the portfolio.
What portfolio holdings contributed positively to performance?
Within Industrials, Ingersoll-Rand PLC, one of the Fund’s largest holdings, announced a transformational transaction that will split its industrials business from its core heating, ventilation and air-conditioning (HVAC) business. We view this transaction very favorably, and investors were rewarded with a 40% rise in the shares in the period. Warehouse REIT Prologis Inc. returned 38% during the period, as investor fears surrounding a slowdown in trade and e-commerce near
the end of 2018 failed to materialize. We expect Prologis to grow its funds from operations at a high single digit rate in 2019, continuing a long track record of successful growth in a high-demand area of real estate.
What portfolio holdings detracted from performance?
The Health Care sector experienced a number of cross-currents during the period, due to headlines from Democratic candidates, company-specific issues, and merger and acquisitions (M&A) developments. The Fund’s Health Maintenance Organization (“HMO”) holdings in Cigna and Humana suffered due, we believe, to expectations that Democratic candidates will push for more government involvement in health insurance after 2020, and Biogen was weak due to the failure of a promising Alzheimer’s cure in late-stage trials.

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, 2019, the Investor Class, Class A shares and Institutional Class of the Fund had total returns of 17.41%, 17.37% and 17.55%, respectively, compared to 16.98% for the Russell 2000 Index and 16.67% for the Lipper Small-Cap Core Funds Index.
What factors contributed to the Fund’s performance?
The Fund outperformed the Russell 2000 Index due to strong stock selection in the Financials, Industrials and Information Technology sectors. This was partially offset by poor selection within the Healthcare and Energy sectors. Sector positioning was also a detractor to performance during the period due to our underweight allocation to Information Technology.
Can you discuss any significant changes to the Fund’s positioning throughout the period?
We entered the year positioned for a recovery in stocks following the sharp fourth quarter 2018 decline. As the period progressed, and stocks advanced, we’ve become more defensive from both a sector and risk perspective. Specifically, we reduced our cyclical exposure by trimming Industrials and Energy sector exposure, while maintaining overweight allocations to the Financials, Utilities and Consumer Staples sectors.
What portfolio holdings contributed positively to performance?
Victory Capital Holdings, an asset management company, was the Fund’s top performer during the period. In our view, the stock’s 68% increase during the period was based on the acquisition of USAA Asset Management. We believe this deal not only brings Victory important scale and diversification benefits, it also significantly adds to next year’s earnings growth. We continue to view the company favorably and believe it is well positioned to participate in the consolidation of the asset management industry.

Pax Small Cap Fund, continued |
CatchMark Timber Trust, a timber REIT, increased 51% during the period. CatchMark owns timberlands in the southern and the pacific northwest U.S. Following a sharp sell-off in the fourth quarter, we saw a recovery in shares as management addressed investor concerns with financial leverage, indicating a focus on reducing debt. We continue to view the shares as attractive, as they trade at a discount to estimates of net asset value.
What portfolio holdings detracted from performance?
Natus Medical, a medical device company, was the Fund’s worst performer during the period. The stock declined -25% as 2019 financial guidance was below investor expectations. We believe that the variance was likely based on the pace of cost cutting during the company’s turnaround. Natus has had a long track record of acquisitions. In our view, many of these were likely not fully integrated and have created operating challenges for management. We continue to hold shares and believe that over time, management will take the appropriate steps to drive operating margins and earnings growth higher.
HomeTrust Bancshares, a North Carolina-based community bank, decreased -4% during the period. The bulk of this decline was due to poor first quarter results where the bank suffered a $6M loan loss. While we’re always concerned about credit quality, we believe this is an isolated event and not the start of a more meaningful credit cycle. We remain positive on the outlook for HomeTrust and believe it is well positioned in an attractive market.

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, 2019, the Fund’s Investor Class, Class A, and Institutional Class shares had total returns of 15.28%, 15.26% and 15.41%, respectively, compared to 18.84% for the Russell 1000 Index and 18.16% for the Lipper Multi-Cap Core Funds Index.
What factors contributed positively to performance?
The Fund’s exposure to companies with higher earnings quality – a measure of the uncertainty around a company’s operating fundamentals – was the largest positive contributor for the period.
An underweight to the Energy sector, and particularly the lagging oil and gas exploration and production industry, added to relative performance as investors reacted to an increasingly weak outlook for global oil demand and drove down prices for energy stocks.
What factors detracted from performance?
The portfolio’s tilt towards profitability, a traditional quality factor, detracted from relative performance for the period. In addition, the tilt toward value stocks, as measured by earnings yield, was a detractor as growth continued to outperform value during the period.
An underweight to industrials and aerospace and defense companies hampered results following strong earnings and raised financial guidance across several of the industry’s major players.
Weighting the portfolio toward companies with stronger ESG characteristics is one of the five factors used in this smart beta strategy, which is designed to deliver strong long-term investment performance. During the period, companies with stronger ESG profiles, particularly those in the top quartile as measured by the Impax Sustainability Score, underperformed companies with weaker ESG profiles.

The Fund’s overweight to these ESG leaders detracted from relative performance. While we believe ESG leaders will generally outperform ESG laggards over the long term, this doesn’t mean they will outperform over every short-term period.

Portfolio Manager David Winborne Sub-Adviser Impax Asset Management Ltd. |
Portfolio Managers’ Comments |
How did the Pax Global Opportunities Fund perform for the period?
For the six-month period ended June 30, 2019, the Fund’s Institutional Class and Investor Class shares had total returns of 25.46% and 25.39%, respectively, compared to 16.23% for the MSCI All-Country World (Net) Index (MSCI ACWI) and 14.89% for the Lipper Global Multi-Cap Core Funds Index.
What factors contributed to the Fund’s performance?
In a strong start to the year, the reversal of the negative sentiment which had dominated global equities at the end of 2018 drove more cyclical areas of the market to outperform. As market volatility from trade friction and global macro headlines continued over the period, the Fund’s long-term secular drivers and more defensive positioning served the portfolio well.
Materials holdings led contributions to return for the Fund, followed by Health Care and Information Technology companies. Stock selection was the main driver of outperformance, with portfolio holdings in Financials and Industrials also seeing strong price appreciation.
The Fund seeks to build long-term capital growth by investing in companies benefiting from the transition to a more sustainable global economy. To identify these opportunities, all market sectors are assessed using Impax’s Sustainability “Opportunities & Risks” Lens, which prioritizes industries based on maximizing the opportunities for investments in solving long-term sustainability challenges while minimizing long-term sustainability risks.
During the period, this approach focused the portfolio in areas of the market which performed strongly. In the Information Technology sector, this approach has resulted in a focus away from large mega-cap technology stocks and instead toward companies exposed to growth in cloud-based, connectivity and data solutions, electronic payments, and electronic design automation tools. In Materials, companies supplying gases, such as for energy efficiency, food preservation and water treatment, or for producing healthier ingredients for nutritious foods, were
June 30, 2019 |
|

positive contributors to performance. Health Care holdings in the Fund are not oriented to big pharmaceutical companies but rather are leaders in life science research tools and environmental testing and analysis.
Can you discuss any significant changes to the Fund’s positioning throughout the period?
There were no material sector or regional allocation changes during the first half of 2019. Notably, the portfolio continued to look for opportunities to increase positioning in more defensive business models that, in our view, are resilient over the business cycle and that offer strong profitability and cash flow.
Though valuations have increased over the period, the investment team retains conviction in the portfolio’s positioning - our projected 12-month forward-looking earnings growth for the Fund is higher than the projection for the MSCI ACWI benchmark.
In terms of activity, higher valuations provided an opportunity to reduce position sizes for a few holdings, against which several new names were added.
What portfolio holdings contributed positively to performance relative to the MSCI ACWI?
Two companies active in water solutions were among the strongest contributors during the period.
Ecolab (Specialty Chemicals, U.S.) saw strong gains as cost-saving solutions for water and energy efficiency continue to be in high demand across many end markets. A partnership is now in place with Microsoft to enable some Ecolab customers to have real-time data on resource, and thus operational, efficiency.
Xylem (Industrial Machinery, U.S.) was also a top relative contributor, as shares continued to move higher for this global leader in water infrastructure.
In the Information Technology sector, a top performer in relative terms was Visa, (Data Processing & Outsourced Services, U.S.) a leader in digital and electronic payments. Visa continues to demonstrate its strong position in global cashless payments with new strategic initiatives to facilitate safer, more secure payments across all forms of global commerce.
What portfolio holdings detracted from performance relative to the MSCI ACWI?
Sprouts Farmers Market (Food Retail, U.S.), produced a negative contribution to return during the period. Although fourth quarter 2018 results were strong when posted early in 2019, management cut guidance for the remainder of the year and later announced management changes. While this food retailer is facing cost and other challenges, the investment team retains conviction, as we believe this specialty natural and organic retailer has a differentiated and unique offering and has good operating cash flow and low leverage.
Two other companies lagging the broader market were Cognizant (IT Consulting & Other Services, U.S.), active in information technology services, which missed results earlier in the year, and Hiscox (Property & Casualty Insurance, U.K.), a specialty insurer who is reducing exposure to less attractive business areas and is investing in technology and thus lowered guidance on part of its business. One interesting area of specialization for Hiscox is reinsurance for natural catastrophes.

Portfolio Managers’ Comments |
How did the Pax Global Environmental Markets Fund perform for the period?
For the six-month period ended June 30, 2019, the Investor Class, Class A, and Institutional Class of the Fund had total returns of 20.06%, 20.01%, and 20.22%, respectively, versus 16.23% for the MSCI All-Country World (Net) Index (“MSCI ACWI”) and 19.58% for the FTSE Environmental Opportunities Index Series (“FTSE EOAS”).
The Pax Global Environmental Markets Fund recovered a substantial portion of its 2018 relative underperformance against its global equity benchmark, MSCI ACWI, during the first half of 2019.
What factors contributed to the Fund’s performance?
In a reversal of the negative sentiment that dominated global equities at the end of 2018, the more cyclical sectors of the market, such as Industrials and Materials, recovered and drove the Fund’s outperformance during the period. Technology companies and Water Utilities also contributed strongly with stock selection continuing as a key performance driver for the portfolio.
The Fund represents a portfolio of differentiated companies whose products and services address growing environmental challenges, focused on persistent and long-term trends. With first quarter earnings announcements refocusing the market on positive company fundamentals, the Fund’s Industrial holdings, in particular, delivered positive earnings news, particularly companies active in Buildings Energy Efficiency and Water Infrastructure. This was in contrast to the broader market, where companies struggled to meet earnings expectations.
Relative to the MSCI ACWI, underweight allocations to the Information Technology and Consumer Discretionary sectors detracted from performance during the period. The Fund’s investible universe does not include many traditional technology or consumer stocks, and we currently see stock specific issues for many of the companies eligible for investment in those sectors.
Can you discuss any significant changes to the Fund’s positioning throughout the period?
No material changes were made to the portfolio over the period and the number of holdings remained steady. The sector allocation remained stable over the period. The allocation to renewable energy companies increased slightly as the cost of alternative energy generation continues to decline and represents increased competitiveness with traditional power sources. Additional portfolio activity was mostly due to trimming position sizes as holdings appreciated or due to increasing existing positions to take advantage of lower prices.
What portfolio holdings contributed positively to performance relative to the MSCI ACWI?
Danaher Corporation (Health Care Equipment, Diversified Water Infrastructure & Technology, U.S.) announced strong quarterly earnings reports and was among the top contributors over the period. Water Infrastructure as a sector continues to deliver strong returns, which is unsurprising in our view given its mission-critical role in delivering clean water and processing wastewater across all parts of the economy.
Ingersoll Rand PLC (Industrial Machinery, Buildings Energy Efficiency, U.S.) announced improved earnings and continued positive guidance, based on robust demand for efficient heating, ventilation and air-conditioning (HVAC) equipment.
Schneider Electric (Electrical Components & Equipment, Power Network Efficiency, France) announced good results across most business divisions, improving margins, and positive guidance. Power Network and Buildings Efficiency have been sectors benefitting from the digital transformation of energy management, and the strong demand for energy efficient cooling and heating systems.

Pax Global Environmental Markets Fund, continued |
What portfolio holdings detracted from performance relative to the MSCI ACWI?
Umicore (Specialty Chemicals, Transport Energy Efficiency, Belgium), produces catalytic converters and issued a downgraded outlook reflecting lower electric vehicle subsidies in China and energy storage delays.
Pentair (Industrial Machinery, Water Treatment Equipment, U.S.), active in global water infrastructure and originally a spinout from Danaher, disappointed with weak first quarter results due to weather and excess inventory.
3M (Industrial Conglomerate, Diversified Environmental, U.S.) announced disappointing first quarter earnings with organic growth that fell short of expectations due, in our view, to weaker auto and semiconductor end markets, while cutting guidance.

Portfolio Managers’ Comments |
How did the Pax Ellevate Global Women’s Leadership Fund (the Fund) perform for the period?
For the six-month period ended June 30, 2019, the Investor Class and Institutional Class1 shares had total returns of 18.12% and 18.30%, respectively, compared to 17.01% for the Impax Global Women’s Leadership Index (Women’s Index), 16.98% for the MSCI World (Net) Index (World Index) and 14.89% for the Lipper Global Multi-Cap Core Funds Index.
During the period, the Fund crossed the five-year milestone since adopting a strategic beta strategy in June of 2014. The Fund has outperformed the MSCI World Index for the one-, three- and five-year periods ended June 30, 2019. Specifically, over the five-year period ended June 30, 2019, the Fund’s Institutional Class shares and Investor Class shares have returned 7.68% and 7.41%, respectively, versus the World Index return of 6.60%. The Fund’s overweight to the highest-rated quartile of companies within the World Index based on gender-diverse leadership has made the greatest contribution to the Fund’s relative outperformance, along with the Fund’s significant underweight to the bottom two quartiles of companies with less gender diverse leadership, according to the Impax Gender Leadership Score.
In addition, the Fund has produced strong results compared with peers. The Institutional Class1 shares of the Fund (PXWIX) has posted a top 5% ranking (out of 109 funds) over the five-year period ended June 30, 2019, based on average annual returns within the Lipper Global Multi-Cap Core classification.2
What is the investment objective of the Fund?
The Fund seeks investment returns that closely correspond to or exceed the price and yield performance, before fees and expenses, of the Women’s Index. The Fund pursues a strategic beta strategy, investing in the companies comprising the Women’s Index, the first index of the highest-rated companies in the world for gender-diverse leadership, as rated by Impax Gender Analytics.
The Fund overweights its portfolio toward Women’s Index companies with greater representation of women on boards and in senior management. Women hold 38% of the board seats and 32% of senior management positions in companies in the Fund, compared to 26% and 19%, respectively, within the World Index. In addition, 94% percent of companies in the Fund have three or more women on the board and 99% have two or more women on the board, compared with 46% and 71%, respectively, for companies in the World Index. 33% of companies in the Fund have a woman CEO or CFO, compared with 15% of companies in the World Index.3
What contributed positively and negatively to performance?
The highest-rated 25% of companies within the World Index based on gender-diverse leadership was the Fund’s largest positive contributor to relative performance during the six-month period, along with the Fund’s significant underweight to the bottom quartile of companies with less gender-diverse leadership, according to the Impax Gender Leadership Score.
Over the six-month period, nine out of the eleven sectors produced positive relative performance compared to the World Index. On a sector basis, portfolio holdings in defensive sectors, notably Utilities and Consumer Staples, added the most to relative returns during the period. Strong results from Estee Lauder, Hershey, American Water Works, Canadian Utilities and Sempra Energy drove returns in these sectors. Fund holdings and overweight positioning in Consumer Discretionary, driven by strong results from Ulta Beauty, Lululemon Athletica and Best Buy helped relative performance during the period.
Another bright spot in the Fund’s relative outperformance were portfolio holdings in the Financials sector, driven by strong results from Principal Financial, KeyCorp. and CNP Assurance.
Conversely, portfolio holdings in Communication Services, driven by poor results from Verizon and BT Group within the Telecomm industry detracted. In addition, no allocation to several FAANG4 stocks, including Facebook, Amazon and Netflix, within this sector detracted from performance during the six-month period.
On a regional basis, the Fund’s North American and Pacific holdings added the most to relative performance during the period, while holdings in Europe detracted. Within North America, holdings in the U.S. were the dominate contributor to relative performance. Within the Pacific region, the Fund’s significant underweight

to Japan – no Japanese companies rank in the top 400 companies in the world based on our gender leadership criteria – added to relative performance. Conversely, holdings in Europe detracted the most, driven by Sweden and Switzerland.

Portfolio Manager’s 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, 2019, the Institutional Class and Investor Class had total returns of 13.73% and 13.59%, respectively, compared to 14.26% for the MSCI EAFE ESG Leaders (Net) Index (the “Index”) and 14.03% for the MSCI EAFE (Net) Index (“EAFE Index”), and 12.12% for the Lipper International Large-Cap Core Funds Index.
What is the investment objective of the Fund?
The Fund is designed to track the performance of the Index. The Fund and the Index are constructed to have a better ESG profile than the EAFE Index, and the Fund’s holdings averaged an overall score of 7.87 on MSCI ESG Research’s 0 to 10 scale compared to an overall score of 6.66 for the EAFE Index as of June 30, 2019.1 Long term, the Fund seeks to generate better risk-adjusted performance than the EAFE Index through its ESG focus.
What contributed positively and negatively to performance?
The Fund’s ESG focus added to relative performance versus the EAFE Index during the period. The highest-rated ESG companies and the Fund’s large underweight to ESG laggards added to relative performance, while the average-rated ESG companies detracted from relative performance. Longer term, since the Fund’s inception, an overweight to the highest-rated ESG companies has contributed the most to relative performance.
From a sector perspective, seven out of eleven sectors produced positive relative results for the Fund. Fund holdings in Financials, driven by strong results within Banks, Capital Markets and Insurance, added the most to relative performance. Portfolio holdings and an overweight allocation in Information Technology, led by Semiconductors and Software, also had a positive impact on relative performance. In addition, holdings within the REIT sector contributed to relative performance over the six-month period.
Conversely, portfolio holdings in Consumer Staples, led by poor results from companies held within the Food Products and Food & Staples Retailing industries, and an underweight allocation in the Beverages industry, which performed well

during the period, detracted the most from relative performance. Portfolio holdings in Communication Services, driven by poor results from Telecomm, also detracted from performance.
On a regional basis, Europe and the Pacific regions added to relative performance during the period versus the MSCI EAFE Index. Within Europe, companies with leading ESG profiles in Germany, UK and Netherlands helped performance. In the Pacific region, Japan and Australia also produced positive relative results.

For the six-month period ended June 30, 2019, the Institutional Class and Investor Class shares of the Fund had total returns of 5.84% and 5.61%, respectively, compared to 6.11% for the Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index and 6.61% for the Lipper Core Bond Funds Index.
What factors contributed to the Fund’s performance?
Performance of the Fund’s Treasury sector was a positive contributor to performance. Conversely, the Fund’s Corporate and Securitized positions detracted from performance.
Can you discuss any significant changes to the Fund’s positioning throughout the period?
In general, the Fund continues to be positioned as a high credit quality portfolio. Although the Federal Reserve (Fed) has recently become more dovish with a high probability of interest rate cuts this year, we continue to maintain the view that we are in the latter part of the credit cycle. As such, we have positioned the portfolio with relatively lower credit risk and more liquidity.
During the period we added or increased our position size in impact holdings across four fixed income sectors including corporate, securitized, government and taxable municipals. Impact holdings now stand at 26.8% of the Fund’s allocation as of June 30, 2019. A number of solar asset-backed securities which we found of particular value are included in the Fund. In addition, the Fund became the sole investor in The World Bank’s first U.S. dollar denominated gender-themed bond (International Bank for Reconstruction & Development, 2.80%, 3/11/22), which highlights Sustainable Development Goal 5 — to achieve gender equality and empower all women and girls.

What portfolio holdings contributed positively to performance?
The Fund’s Treasury and non-agency mortgage backed securities were top contributors to performance. We have positioned our Treasury Bonds to have more sensitivity to interest rate changes. This positioning benefited the Fund as rates declined during the period. In addition, the Fund’s underweight to agency mortgage backed securities helped relative performance as the sector underperformed with falling rates.
What portfolio holdings detracted from performance?
The Fund’s corporate bond and asset-backed security allocations detracted from performance during the period. Our high-quality positioning in the corporate sector hurt as corporate bonds rallied in the first half of the year. Additionally, many of our asset-backed securities have lower duration which were negatively impacted by recent Fed policy. The Fed turned “dovish” during the period which caused interest rates to drop and longer duration securities to outperform.

* | 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 Managers’ Comments |
How did the Pax High Yield Bond Fund (the Fund) perform for the period?
For the six-month period ended June 30, 2019, the Investor Class, Class A, and Institutional Class shares of the Fund had total returns of 9.29%, 9.28%, and 9.28%, respectively, compared to 10.36% for the ICE BofA Merrill Lynch U.S. High Yield—Cash Pay—BB-B (Constrained 2%) Index and 10.02% for the Lipper High Yield Bond Funds Index.
The Fund’s performance during this period of strong high yield market conditions was consistent with our expectations due to the Fund’s conservative positioning and lower beta characteristics compared to the benchmark index. Continued corporate earnings growth, benign interest rate expectations and low default rates were all supportive of the equity and high yield markets in the period.
What factors contributed to the Fund’s performance?
The Fund’s performance was driven by positive credit selection in the Basic Industry and Capital Goods sectors while offset by negative credit selection in the Consumer Goods and Telecommunications sectors. The Fund’s underweight to the Energy sector also contributed positively to performance. The Fund’s shorter duration versus the benchmark was a minor detractor.
Can you discuss any significant changes to the Fund’s positioning throughout the period?
During the first half of 2019, the Fund’s BB ratings exposure decreased from 52.7%, as of December 31, 2018, to 50.2%, on June 30, 2019. During the same period the Fund’s B rated bonds increased from 33.0% to 37.3%. CCC and below rated exposures decreased from 7.50% to 4.90%. Despite the changes, the average credit quality of the Fund, as measured by S&P Global Ratings, was unchanged at B+. The duration of the Fund, as measured by FactSet, was 3.1 years on June 30, 2019, down from 4.1 years at December 31, 2018. The benchmark’s duration at the same dates was 3.5 years and 4.3 years, respectively.

Pax High Yield Bond Fund, continued |
By sector, the Fund increased exposure to Retail, Leisure and Media. The Fund decreased its exposure to Capital Goods, Banking and Healthcare. While the top 10 positions changed during the period due to re-financing activity, the total weighting of the group was consistent at approximately 8%.
On the sustainability front, we are pleased to welcome a new high yield green bond to the market and the Fund during the period. Hannon Armstrong Sustainable Infrastructure Capital, Inc. issued a new BB+ rated $350 million bond which will be used to further the company’s efforts to finance various renewable energy projects. We believe this well-managed company with strong fundamentals will make a good long-term core overweight position.
What portfolio holdings contributed positively to performance?
PetSmart, a specialty retailer, outperformed materially in the period as they exceeded low expectations and completed a public offering of a subsidiary named Chewy, a fast-growing on-line business.
Ardagh Group, a consumer packaging company and a large overweight, is delivering on their deleveraging plans and performing well operationally.
Springleaf Finance, a consumer lending company, also contributed to performance as the management team is executing on promised synergies from the combination of One Main and Springleaf as well as low delinquencies on their loans.
What portfolio holdings detracted from performance?
Highridge, a consumer products company, performed poorly due to competitive pressures. We have exited this position due to concerns about the company’s ability to carry their existing debt load.
Charlotte Russe, an apparel retailer, continued to perform poorly and we exited the position after finding liquidity in the name.
Great Western, a Colorado based exploration and production company, detracted from performance due to regulatory changes and uncertainties in Colorado. The company remains in the portfolio due to what we believe is solid operational performance and a strong environmental track record.

Portfolio Managers’ Comments |
How did the Pax Balanced Fund (the Fund) perform for the period?
For the six-month period ended June 30, 2019, the Investor Class and Institutional Class of the Fund had total returns of 12.36% and 12.54%, respectively, compared to 18.54% for the S&P 500 Index, 13.64% for the 60% S&P 500 Index / 40% Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index blend (the Blended Index) and 12.21% for the Morningstar Allocation--50% to 70% Equity category average.
What factors contributed to the Fund’s performance?
Equity and fixed income markets posted strong returns for the first six months of 2019, driving a strong double digit return for the Balanced Fund over that period. The S&P 500 Index delivered a robust 18.54% return, approximately 8.5% higher than its long-term average historical return for an entire year. Bonds also delivered solid returns as interest rates declined precipitously over the course of 2019, driving a 6.11% return for the Bloomberg Barclays US Aggregate Index. Non-US developed market stocks, as measured by the MSCI EAFE Index, returned 14.03%, but once again lagged U.S. stocks.
The non-US equity allocation was a headwind for the Fund’s performance relative to the Blended Index as it contains no non-U.S. exposure, but the modest, intentional underweight position to non-U.S. stocks relative to peers contributed positively to the Fund’s performance versus the Morningstar Allocation--50% to 70% Equity category average.
Can you discuss any significant changes to the Fund’s positioning throughout the period?
The Fund’s equity allocation was reduced in the latter half of the second quarter in anticipation of the liquidation of the Pax Mid Cap Fund (See Note F in the Notes to Financial Statements) and remains modestly below its 60% neutral target. The fixed income allocation also remains modestly below its 40% target. We believe the strong performance of both stocks and bonds has left investors contending with high equity valuations and meager fixed income yields at current interest rate levels. We are maintaining a modest 5% transitional allocation to cash that we will be prepared to deploy across U.S. equity, non-U.S. equity or fixed income as clarity increases on valuations, risks and prospects across these asset classes.
What portfolio holdings contributed positively and negatively to performance?
During the period the Pax ESG Beta Dividend Fund lagged the broad market during the strong rally due to its more defensive characteristics, and as a result, was the largest detractor to the Balanced Fund’s relative performance. The allocation to two global funds, the Pax Global Environmental Markets Fund and the Pax Global Opportunities Fund, contributed positively as both significantly outperformed global equities. The Pax Large Cap Fund modestly outperformed the S&P 500 Index and contributed positively to performance.

Senior Vice President for Sustainable Investing Julie Gorte, Ph.D. |
Engagement is a huge part of our work as sustainable investors, and for good reason — it helps us move the companies we hold in our funds to improve in ways that we think will make them even better investments. In 2018, we reached out to 159 companies to discuss pay equity, climate change, board diversity and other topics where we saw room for improved sustainability.
Why bother? There is an ample and growing body of literature that ties better sustainability performance with better financial performance, and as a provider of mutual funds, we’re interested in delivering positive returns for our shareholders, so pushing for more sustainable companies is wise financially. But not only financially: We don’t pretend that interest in sustainability is driven only by financial performance.
The drumbeat of news that our increasingly unsustainable behavior is going to cost us bigtime is growing louder and more persistent. Human activity is threatening more than one million species with extinction; 200 million people could be displaced by the end of this century due to accelerated melting of ice on Antarctica and Greenland; gender inequality makes a hotbed for myriad social and economic ills associated with discrimination, harassment and violence.
So, while the business case for sustainable investing is solid, the ethical case is even stronger. The first Pax World Fund was launched in 1971 to give investors options for aligning their investments with their values and to challenge corporations to establish and live up to specific standards of social and environmental responsibility. Not only have we not forgotten these roots, I believe there’s an even greater urgency to our work today, five decades later. It’s what drives us to demand more from the companies in our portfolios.
Our new engagement report highlights the whole universe of effort that takes place away from the trading desks. If you haven’t taken a look yet, please do. (Find it at www.paxworld.com/engagement.) It’s packed with nuggets that show how your investment dollars make an impact not only on your quarterly statements but also in Silicon Valley, on Capitol Hill and in communities across the globe.

Sustainable Investing Update (Unaudited), continued |
As a Pax World Funds shareholder, you are helping to proactively address pressing global challenges such as climate change and inequality. It’s time more investors stepped up, following your lead, and stopped treating finance and investment as some kind of moral-free zone where only dispassionate decisions are legitimate. The sustainability journey is something that we can’t just outsource to others: We all have a stone to contribute to the edifice, and investors, particularly, have a key role to play in the transition to a more sustainable economy.

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, 2019 and ending on June 30, 2019.
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 fifteen dollars. If you are invested in one of these account types, you should add an additional $7.50 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, 2019, Trust I offered eleven 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 Global Opportunities Fund (the “Global Opportunities Fund”), Pax Global Environmental Markets Fund (the “Global Environmental Markets Fund”), Pax MSCI EAFE ESG Leaders Index Fund (the “EAFE ESG Leaders 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 Leadership Fund (the “Global Women’s Leadership Fund”) is a diversified series of Trust III.
With the exception of Mid Cap Fund (Note F), 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”).
The Large Cap Fund, ESG Beta Dividend Fund, Global Opportunities Fund, Global Women’s Leadership Fund, EAFE ESG Leaders Fund, Core Bond Fund and Balanced Fund each offer two classes of shares—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—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.
The Funds seek to avoid investing in issuers that their investment adviser has determined are involved in the manufacture or sale of weapons or manufacture of tobacco products or engage in business practices that their investment adviser determines to be sub-standard from an Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) or sustainability perspective in relation to their industry, sector, asset class or universe peers.
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 stocks 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 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 that the Adviser believes have strong ESG profiles and that exhibit higher “quality” characteristics and reasonable valuations.
The ESG Beta Dividend Fund’s primary 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 Global Opportunities Fund’s investment objective is to seek long term growth of capital by investing in companies benefiting from the transition to a more sustainable global economy. The Fund seeks to achieve this objective by investing, under normal market conditions, at least 80% of its net assets in companies that its Adviser or Sub-Adviser believe will benefit from the transition to a more sustainable global economy - the shift away from a depletive economy to one that preserves ecological and societal balance for the benefit of future generations. The Fund seeks to invest in companies with durable business models that are well-positioned to benefit from or avoid the risks associated with this transition. Under

normal market conditions, the Global Opportunities Fund will invest primarily in equity securities (such as common stocks, preferred stocks and securities convertible into common or preferred stocks) of companies located around the world, including at least 40% of its net assets in securities of companies organized or located outside the United States or doing a substantial amount of business outside the United States, including those located in emerging markets.
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. The Fund seeks to achieve this objective by investing, under normal market conditions, at least 80% of its net assets in the foregoing companies and will invest primarily 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 securities of non-U.S. issuers, including those located in emerging markets.
The Global Women’s Leadership 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 Impax 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, including at least 40% of its net assets (unless market conditions are not deemed favorable, in which case the Global Women’s Leadership Fund would normally invest at least 30% of its assets) in securities of companies organized or located outside the U.S. or doing a substantial amount of business outside the U.S.
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 circumstances, 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 the component securities of the MSCI EAFE ESG Leaders Index.
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 Baa3 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 investment 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 or debentures) that are rated below BBB- by Standard & Poor’s Ratings Group or below Baa3 by Moody’s Investors Service, similarly rated by another major rating service, or unrated and determined by the High Yield Bond Fund’s investment adviser to be of comparable quality. These fixed income securities are 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 uses a team approach to allocate among multiple underlying funds managed by the Adviser (“Underlying Funds”) in order to seek to achieve its investment objectives. The Adviser will allocate the Fund’s assets among Underlying Funds in its sole discretion. The Fund seeks to achieve its investment objectives, under normal market conditions, by investing (directly or indirectly through the use of Underlying Funds) approximately 50%-75% of its assets in equity securities (such as common stocks, preferred stocks and securities convertible into common or preferred stocks) and 25%-50% 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 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 of the Trusts (the “Boards” or “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 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, 2019, three 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 $281,307, representing 0.04% of the Fund’s net asset value and the High Yield Bond Fund held two securities fair valued at $0, representing 0.00% 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.
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, 2019:

See Schedules of Investments for additional detailed industry classifications.
Significant unobservable inputs were used by two Funds for Level 3 fair value measurements. 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.
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.
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.

Notes to Financial Statements (Unaudited), continued |
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. If a Fund so qualifies and satisfies certain distribution requirements, such Fund will ordinarily not be subject 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 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 Fund investments to fluctuate significantly, rapidly and unpredictably. Non-U.S. securities may be less liquid than domestic securities; consequently, a 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 a 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, 2019, non-cash collateral consisted of U.S. Treasuries and short-term U.S. Government agency obligations.
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, 2019, 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 | |
Small Cap | | $ | 25,101,806 | | | $ | 4,404,769 | | | $ | 20,969,375 | | | $ | 272,338 | |

For the Small Cap Fund, ESG Beta Quality Fund, ESG Beta Dividend Fund and Women’s Leadership Fund all of the securities on loan at June 30, 2019 are classified as Common Stocks in each Fund’s Schedule of Investments. For the Core Bond Fund all of the securities on loan at June 30, 2019 are classified as Corporate Bonds on the Fund’s Schedule of Investments.

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 agreement. Generally, a Fund manages its cash collateral and securities collateral on a counterparty basis. As of June 30, 2019, there is no collateral held at the counterparty 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, 2019.
Affiliated Investments The term “affiliated company” includes other investment companies that are managed by a Fund’s Adviser. At June 30, 2019, the Balanced Fund held the following investments in affiliated Funds:

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 Advisers pursuant to “Cross-Trading” Procedures adopted by the Trusts’ Boards 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, 2019, the Global Women’s Leadership Fund and the EAFE ESG Leaders Fund engaged in cross-trades and had total purchases of $1,243,392 and $0, respectively, and total sales of $0 and $1,243,392, respectively. The Global Women’s Leadership Fund and EAFE ESG Leaders Fund had net gains of $0 and $28,749, respectively.
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 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, 2019, the Core Bond Fund held $78,966,475 or 11.58% of net assets and the High Yield Bond Fund held $213,240,657 or 60.36% of net assets each in securities exempt from registration under Rule 144A of the Act.
At June 30, 2019, the Core Bond Fund held $4,269,210 of illiquid securities representing 0.63% of net assets and High Yield Bond Fund held $1,000,000 of illiquid securities, representing 0.28% of net assets. The Fund will classify as “illiquid” all securities that the Fund reasonably expects cannot be sold or disposed of in current market conditions in seven calendar days or less without the sale or disposition significantly changing the market value of the investment. 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) 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 2019 and 2018 was as follows:
| | Distributions paid in 2019 | | | Distributions paid in 2018 | |
Fund | | Ordinary income | | | Long-term capital gains | | | Ordinary income | | | Long-term capital gains | |

During the period from November 1, 2018 through December 31, 2018, the Small Cap Fund, Global Opportunities Fund and Global Environmental Markets Fund elected to defer $1,258, $889 and $62,457, respectively, of ordinary losses recognized November 1, 2018 through December 31, 2018 for the Funds’ fiscal year ending December 31, 2018; and the Large Cap Fund, Small Cap Fund, Global Environmental Markets Fund and Global Women’s Leadership Fund elected to defer $206,865, $5,244,647, $12,238,285 and $1,495,598, respectively, of capital losses recognized between November 1, 2018 and December 31, 2018 for the Funds’ fiscal year ending December 31, 2018. These losses are treated for federal income tax purposes as if they had occurred on January 1, 2019.
As of December 31, 2018, 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 | |
Global Opportunities | | $ | 121,396 | | | $ | — | |

High Yield Bond | | | 27,846,631 | | | | 33,519,466 | |
For financial reporting purposes, the capital accounts are adjusted to reflect the tax character of permanent book/tax differences. Reclassifications are primarily due to tax treatment of gain (loss) on foreign currency transactions, tax treatment related to REITs and PFICs.

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 2015 through 2018). 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, 2018, no provision for federal income tax is necessary and, therefore, the Funds did not have a liability for any unrecognized tax expenses.
NOTE E—RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
In March 2017, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2017–08, Receivables — Nonrefundable Fees and Other Costs (Subtopic 310–20): Premium Amortization on Purchased Callable Debt Securities. The amendments in the ASU shorten the amortization period for certain callable debt securities held at a premium, to be amortized to the earliest call date. The ASU is effective for fiscal years and interim periods within those fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018. Management is currently evaluating the impact, if any, of applying this provision.
In August 2018, FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2018-13 (“ASU 2018-13”), “Disclosure Framework - Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement,” which amends the fair value measurement disclosure requirements of ASC Topic 820 (“ASU 820”), “Fair Value Measurement.” ASU 2018-13 includes new, eliminated, and modified disclosure requirements for ASC 820. In addition, ASU 2018-13 clarifies that materiality is an appropriate consideration when evaluating disclosure requirements. ASU 2018-13 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, including interim periods therein. Early adoption is permitted and the Funds have adopted ASU 2018-13 with changes incorporated in the December 31, 2018 annual report and all other reports moving forward.
NOTE F—SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
On May 7, 2019 the Board of Trustees for Pax World Series Trust I voted to liquidate the assets of the Pax Mid Cap Fund, effective on or about July 15, 2019. Accordingly, on May 17, 2019, the Fund was closed to new investors. The liquidation was completed on July 15, 2019. Shareholders can obtain a copy of the semiannual report as of June 30, 2019 free of charge upon request by contacting Pax (toll-free) at 800.767.1729.
A Special Meeting of Shareholders of Trust III was held on July 31, 2019 at the offices of the Trust at 30 Penhallow Street Suite 400, Portsmouth, NH. Fund shareholders of the Global Women’s Leadership Fund were asked to consider
and vote on a proposal in connection a new advisory agreement (“agreement”) between PEM and Trust III, on behalf of the Global Women’s Leadership Fund. Shareholders of Trust III approved the proposal and the agreement took effect on the date the transaction closed, August 5, 2019.
NOTE G—BOARD CONSIDERATIONS FOR APPROVAL OF ADVISORY AND SUBADVISORY AGREEMENTS
Review Process. The 1940 Act requires that the Trustees of the Trusts request and evaluate, and that IAM and PEM 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, IAM, 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 2019 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 Pax Fund; however, they also took into account the common interests of all the Pax 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 Pax 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 Pax Funds; |
| ● | 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 Pax 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 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 Pax 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 Pax 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 and the Adviser’s plans to add certain additional resources.
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 Pax Fund under the relevant Management Contract, and to each Pax 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 Pax 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 Pax 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 the Pax Funds, comparing each Pax Fund’s investment results with those of other mutual funds within their Broadridge peer group over the one-, three-, five- and ten-year periods (to the extent the Pax Fund had been in existence) ended March 31, 2019. The Trustees, including the Independent Trustees, considered the methodology employed by Broadridge to identify peer groups, including the extent to which such peer groups included other mutual funds that employ sustainable or socially responsible investing practices and the extent to which the peer group pursued investment strategies similar to those of the relevant Pax Fund. The Independent Trustees considered that the Balanced Fund had underperformed its peer group for the three-year period and outperformed its peer group for the five-year period. The Independent Trustees considered that the ESG Beta Quality Fund had performed in line with its peer group for the three- and five-year periods, noting that because the Fund’s name and strategy changed on June 30, 2016, the Fund’s performance for periods prior to June 30, 2016 may not be representative of the performance that it would have achieved had it been following its current investment strategy. The Independent Trustees considered that each of the Small Cap Fund and the MSCI EAFE ESG Leaders Index Fund had underperformed its peer group for the three- and five-year periods. The Independent Trustees
June 30, 2019 |
|
Notes to Financial Statements (Unaudited), continued |
considered that each of the Mid Cap Fund, the ESG Beta Dividend Fund, the Core Bond Fund and the Large Cap Fund did not yet have a three-year record, but that the Mid Cap Fund had underperformed its peer group, the ESG Beta Dividend Fund had outperformed its peer group, the Core Bond Fund had performed in line with its peer group, and the Large Cap Fund had underperformed its peer group, in each case for the one-year period. The Independent Trustees further considered that the Mid Cap Fund was scheduled to be liquidated and terminated on or about July 15, 2019. The Independent Trustees considered that the Global Environmental Markets Fund had performed in line with its peer group for the three-year period, but had underperformed its peer group for the five-year period. The Independent Trustees considered that the Global Women’s Leadership Fund had performed in line with its peer group for the three-year period and had outperformed its peer group for the five-year period, noting that because the Fund’s name and strategy changed on June 4, 2014, the Fund’s performance for periods prior to June 4, 2014 may not be representative of the performance that it would have achieved had it been following its current investment strategy. The Independent Trustees considered that the High Yield Bond Fund had outperformed its peer group for the three-year period, but had underperformed its peer group for the five-year period. The Independent Trustees considered that the Global Opportunities Fund did not yet have a three-year record, but that the Fund had outperformed its peer group for the period since inception on June 27, 2018. 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.
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 Pax 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 IAM, as well as each Pax 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 Pax Fund relative to those of each Pax Fund’s Broadridge peer group. The Independent Trustees considered that the total expenses of each of the Pax Funds (after giving effect to the expense reimbursements described below, if applicable), other than the Mid Cap, MSCI EAFE ESG Leaders Index, Global Environmental Markets, and Global Opportunities Funds, were at or below the median total expenses of its respective peer group. The Independent Trustees also considered that the advisory fees of all Pax Funds, other than the Mid Cap, ESG Beta Quality, ESG Beta Dividend, MSCI EAFE ESG Leaders Index, Global Environmental Markets, and Core Bond Funds (after giving effect to the expense reimbursements described below, if applicable) were at or below the median combined management and administrative fees of their peer groups.
In connection with their review, the Trustees of Trust I considered IAM’s agreement to reimburse the Global Opportunities 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 and 1.23% for Investor Class shares before December 31, 2021. The Independent Trustees also noted that, under the Management Contracts with respect to the ESG Beta Quality, the ESG Beta Dividend, the MSCI EAFE ESG Leaders Index, the Global Women’s Leadership, and the Balanced Funds, the relevant Adviser was obligated to pay all of the operating costs and expenses of the Pax 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, legal fees and other expenses. The Trustees of Trust I considered the expenses indirectly borne by the Balanced Fund through its investment in other Pax Funds, and the extent to which the services provided by IAM to the Balanced Fund were distinct from, and not duplicative of, the services it provides to such other Pax Funds. 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 Pax Funds, and considered the differences in the services provided and proposed to be provided to institutional clients and those provided to the Pax Funds, as well as differences in the advisory fees charged and proposed to be charged to such clients and those charged to the Pax Funds.
June 30, 2019 |

Notes to Financial Statements (Unaudited), continued |
The Trustees, including the Independent Trustees, also considered that of the seven Pax Funds with at least five years of performance history (the Small Cap Fund, the ESG Beta Quality Fund, the MSCI EAFE ESG Leaders Index Fund, the Global Women’s Leadership Fund, the Global Environmental Markets Fund, the High Yield Bond and the Balanced Fund), only two (the MSCI EAFE ESG Leaders Index Fund and the Global Environmental Markets Fund) had both lower returns and higher expenses than their peer group medians. The Trustees also noted that the Large Cap Fund, the ESG Beta Dividend Fund, the Core Bond Fund, and the new Global Opportunities Fund were excluded from the four-quadrant performance versus expenses summary. 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 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 IAM, for the year ended December 31, 2018, of its advisory relationship with each Fund, and the estimated profitability to PEM, for the year ended December 31, 2018, of its advisory relationship with the Global Women’s Leadership 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 amounts paid by IAM to the applicable Subadviser reduce the profitability of IAM, and the fees payable under each Subadvisory Contract, other than, with respect to Pax Global Opportunities Fund, the Subadvisory Contract between IAM and Impax, were the product of arm’s-length bargaining between the applicable Subadviser and IAM.
Possible Fall-Out Benefits. The Trustees of Trust I, including the Independent Trustees, considered information regarding the direct and indirect benefits to IAM 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 IAM about its trading practices and brokerage arrangements, including its policies with respect to research provided in connection with trade execution for the relevant Pax Funds (soft dollar arrangements), and the Trustees of Trust I accepted the representation of IAM that it fulfills its fiduciary obligation of seeking best execution when engaging in portfolio transactions for the Pax Funds. The Trustees of Trust I considered the receipt of these benefits in light of IAM’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 Leadership 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 Pax 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 Pax Funds, and not only in respect of a single Pax Fund. The Independent Trustees also noted that IAM had recently imposed breakpoints for the Global Environmental Markets Fund’s fee schedule and that the Advisers were proposing to introduce breakpoints in the fee schedules of each of the MSCI EAFE ESG Leaders Index Fund, the Global Women’s Leadership Fund, the ESG Beta Quality Fund and the ESG Beta Dividend Fund. Based on these observations, the Independent Trustees concluded that the Pax Funds’ overall fee arrangements represent an appropriate sharing at the present time between Pax Fund shareholders and the relevant Adviser and Subadviser (where applicable) of any economies of scale or other efficiencies in the management of each Pax 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 Pax Fund and the continuation

Notes to Financial Statements (Unaudited), continued |
of the Subadvisory Contracts for the applicable Pax Funds, was in the best interests of the Pax Funds and that the Management Contracts and the Subadvisory Contracts should be approved.
NOTE H—BOARD CONSIDERATIONS FOR APPROVAL OF NEW ADVISORY AGREEMENT
Review Process. The 1940 Act requires that both the full Board of Trustees of Trust III and a majority of the Independent Trustees, voting separately, approve any new investment advisory contract or subadvisory contract, or any amendment thereof, for any series of the Trust.
The 1940 Act also requires that the Trustees request and evaluate, and that PEM furnish, such information as may reasonably be necessary for the Trustees of the Trust to evaluate the terms of the Trust’s new advisory agreement (the “New Advisory Agreement”).
At a meeting held on May 7, 2019, the Trustees, including a majority of the Independent Trustees, approved the New Advisory Agreement and recommended that shareholders of Pax Ellevate Global Women’s Leadership Fund, the only series Trust III (the “Fund”), approve the New Advisory Agreement. The Trustees took such actions after discussion among themselves and with representatives of PEM and IAM, the majority owner of PEM, of the information provided to them by PEM and IAM in connection with the agreement by IAM to purchase the minority interest in PEM held by Ellevate Asset Management LLC (“Ellevate”), the principal of which is Sallie Krawcheck (the “Transaction”).
The Independent Trustees were assisted in their evaluation of the New Advisory Agreement by independent legal counsel, from whom they received assistance and advice, including a review of the legal standards applicable to the consideration of advisory arrangements, and with whom they met separately from management. The Independent Trustees requested information and discussed with PEM and IAM information that was provided.
The Trustees, including the Independent Trustees, considered that the Transaction may be deemed to be an “assignment” of the then current advisory agreement (the “Current Advisory Agreement”), resulting in the automatic termination of such agreement under the 1940 Act upon the closing of the Transaction. The Trustees considered that the New Advisory Agreement would permit the Adviser to continue to provide the same services to the Funds that it was then providing, on the same terms, following the Transaction. The Trustees also considered management’s representation that the Transaction was not expected to have a material effect on
the management (including the strategy and risks) or operations of the Fund. The Trustees further considered that the advisory fee rate will not change as a result of the Transaction.
The Trustees, including the Independent Trustees, considered statements by officers of PEM and IAM that Ms. Krawcheck will continue to be involved with PEM and the Fund, providing strategic advice and counsel, marketing strategy, and thought leadership in connection with the Fund, and gender lens investing more generally. The Trustees also considered the Transaction’s potential impact on the operations, personnel, organizational structure, capitalization and financial and other resources of the Adviser and IAM, noting that presently, all officers and employees of PEM are also officers and employees of IAM, and it is expected that that will remain the case after the Transaction. The Trustees considered that PEM had agreed to bear all costs associated with the Transaction, including the costs of obtaining shareholder approval of the New Advisory Agreement. The Trustees, including the Independent Trustees, considered that, consistent with previous no-action guidance from the staff of the Securities and Exchange Commission, following the Transaction, when PEM is a wholly-owned subsidiary of IAM, the Fund’s investment advisory agreement could be transferred from PEM to IAM upon notice to shareholders but without additional approval from shareholders, but noted that representatives of IAM had stated that there were then no current plans to do so.
The Trustees, including the Independent Trustees, considered that the Transaction was not expected to cause any reduction in the nature, extent or quality of services now provided to the Fund or to have any adverse effect on the Adviser’s ability to fulfill its obligations to the Fund under the New Advisory Agreement. The Trustees concluded that providing for the continued management of the Fund by the Adviser following the Transaction would benefit the Fund.
The Trustees, including the Independent Trustees, also took into account their deliberations and conclusions in connection with their most recent approval of the Current Advisory Agreement, including with respect to (i) the nature, extent and quality of the Adviser’s services; (ii) the investment performance of the Fund; (iii) the advisory fee of 0.55% of the average daily net assets paid by the Fund to the Adviser relative to the Fund’s Broadridge peer group; (iv) the costs of the services provided by the Adviser and the estimated profitability of the Adviser’s relationship with Trust III; (v) the direct and indirect benefits to PEM from its relationship with the Fund, including reputational and other “fall out” benefits; and (vi) the extent to which the Adviser may realize economies of scale or other efficiencies in managing and supporting the Fund. The Trustees noted that they

had approved the continuation of the Current Advisory Agreement for the Fund at their June 7, 2018 meeting, after evaluating materials provided in connection with the contract review process at their March and June 2018 meetings.
Conclusions. Based on the foregoing and other relevant considerations, the Trustees, including a majority of the Independent Trustees, voted to approve the New Advisory Agreement and to recommend approval of the New Advisory Agreement by shareholders of the Fund. Based on their evaluation of factors that they deemed to be material, including those factors described above, the Trustees, including the Independent Trustees, unanimously concluded that approval of the New Advisory Agreement would be in the best interests of shareholders of the Fund.
