Letter to Shareholders |
by Joseph Keefe, President |
Dear fellow shareholders,
2021 began with a persisting global pandemic and the sacking of the US capitol — not a fortuitous start by any measure. The months that followed brought supply chain challenges, new virus variants, worsening inflation, deep societal divisions over masks, vaccines, and other issues, as well as continued gridlock in Washington, DC. Yet despite the ongoing disruptions, the stock market rose, with the S&P 500 gaining 26.9%,1 the Russell 2000 Index gaining 13.7%2 and the MSCI EAFE Index of non-U.S. developed market stocks returning 11.26 %.3
We also saw soaring demand for sustainable investment solutions in 2021. During the first quarter alone, inflows to sustainable funds reached $185 billion globally.4 Inflows to Pax World Funds reached all-time highs. 2021 also brought the fifth anniversary of the Pax Large Cap Fund and the 50th anniversary — yes, 50th — of the Pax Sustainable Allocation Fund, the first mutual fund in the United States to incorporate social and environmental criteria into its investment process.
More and more investors are realizing that environmental, social and governance (ESG) factors have financial relevance, or materiality, that could affect business outcomes and investment portfolio returns. A 2021 RBC Wealth Management survey of 1,000 clients revealed that 61% want to increase the amount of environmental, social and governance-focused holdings in their portfolios,5 suggesting that demand for sustainable solutions will continue to surge.
Meanwhile, there is continued evidence that sustainable funds can and often do deliver strong investment performance. At the end of 2021, seven of the 11 Pax World Funds had received four- or five-star ratings from Morningstar, including the Pax Global Environmental Markets Fund and Pax Large Cap Fund, both of which received overall 5-star ratings. Barron’s recently named the Pax Large Cap Fund together with our Pax US Sustainable Economy Fund to its list of the top-performing sustainable funds.6

Though 2021 brought much to celebrate as a firm, the ongoing pandemic and its ancillary “Great Resignation” also cast a spotlight on the persistent, systemic inequalities embedded in our economy and society, including the continuing challenges faced by women in the workforce. Moreover, we witnessed another year rife with climate-related weather disasters without meaningful government action to address climate change, a looming threat that only grows more serious each day.
While the public sector continues to dither on climate, we saw increased private sector involvement in 2021, culminating in the COP26 global climate summit in November, where organizations, including Impax, offered input and commitments, striving to fill the public policy void with innovative capital market solutions.
Heading into 2022, there are signs that the public policy environment may be more promising to those of us who are investing in the transition to more sustainable economy. For starters, the Biden-Harris administration released its National Strategy on Gender Equity and Equality, which is designed to address gender discrimination and systemic barriers to full participation that have held back women and girls. In November, the Department of Labor, reversing a hastily enacted and ill-advised rule of the previous presidential administration, proposed a new rule empowering ERISA7 fiduciaries to consider ESG factors when making investment decisions on behalf of plan participants and when voting corporate proxy ballots. This is good news. Environmental and social issues are increasingly relevant to how companies and investment portfolios perform, and careful consideration of ESG factors can help ERISA fiduciaries spotlight risks and opportunities that must be managed on behalf of retirement investors.
As I write in early February, we are anticipating new Securities and Exchange Commission rulemaking requiring companies operating in the US to make certain climate change-related disclosures on an annual basis. Such disclosure is critically important if we are to successfully transition to a more sustainable economy. At Impax, we are very much focused on the investment opportunities we believe will unfold. The transition from a fossil fuel-based economy that is overheating the planet to a sustainable economy powered by innovation, efficiency and clean energy is the great investment opportunity of our era; we must seize it.
7 | ERISA, the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, is a federal law that sets minimum standards for most voluntarily established retirement and health plans in private industry to provide protection for individuals in these plans. |
On behalf of the entire team here at Impax and the Pax World Funds, I wish you and yours a safe and prosperous 2022.
Sincerely,

The S&P 500 Stock Index is an unmanaged index of large capitalization common stocks. The Russell 2000 Index measures the performance of the small-cap segment of the U.S. equity universe. The Russell 2000 Index is a subset of the Russell 3000 Index representing approximately 10% of the total market capitalization of that index. It includes approximately 2,000 of the smallest securities based on a combination of their market cap and current index membership.

The Morningstar Ratings™ shown are as of 12/31/2021. The Morningstar Rating for funds, or “star rating,” is calculated for managed products (including mutual funds, variable annuity and variable life subaccounts, exchange-traded funds, closed-end funds, and separate accounts) with at least a three-year history. Exchange-traded funds and open-ended mutual funds are considered a single population for comparative purposes. It is calculated based on a Morningstar Risk-Adjusted Return measure that accounts for variation in a managed product’s monthly excess performance, placing more emphasis on downward variations and rewarding consistent performance. The Morningstar Rating does not include any adjustments for sales loads. The top 10% of products in each product category receive 5 stars, the next 22.5% receive 4 stars, the next 35% receive 3 stars the next 22.5% receive 2 stars, and the bottom 10% receive 1 star. The Overall Morningstar Rating for a managed product is derived from a weighted average of the performance figures associated with its three-, five- and 10-year (if applicable) Morningstar Rating metrics. The weights are 100% three-year rating for 36-59 months of total returns, 60% five-year rating, 40% three-year rating for 60-119 months of total returns, and 50% 10-year rating, 30% five-year rating, 20% three-year rating for 120 or more months of total returns. While the 10-year overall rating formula seems to give the most weight to the 10-year period, the most recent three-year period actually has the greatest impact because it is included in all three rating periods.

The investment techniques and decisions of the investment adviser and the Fund’s portfolio manager(s), including the investment adviser’s assessment of a company’s ESG profile when selecting investments for the Fund, may not produce the desired results and may adversely impact the Fund’s performance, including relative to other Funds that do not consider ESG factors or come to different conclusions regarding such factors.
Pax Large Cap Fund RISKS: Equity investments are subject to market fluctuations, the fund’s share price can fall because of weakness in the broad market, a particular industry, or specific holdings.
Pax Small Cap Fund RISKS: Equity investments are subject to market fluctuations, the fund’s share price can fall because of weakness in the broad market, a particular industry, or specific holdings. Funds that emphasize investments in smaller companies generally will experience greater price volatility.
Pax Global Environmental Markets Fund RISKS: Equity investments are subject to market fluctuations, the fund’s share price can fall because of weakness in the broad market, a particular industry, or specific holdings. Emerging market and international investments involve risk of capital loss from unfavorable fluctuations in currency values, differences in generally accepted accounting principles, economic or political instability in other nations or increased volatility and lower trading volume.
Pax Ellevate Global Women’s Leadership Fund RISKS: The Fund does not take defensive positions in declining markets. The Fund’s performance would likely be adversely affected by a decline in the Index. There is no guarantee that the objective will be met and diversification does not eliminate risk. Equity investments are subject to market fluctuations, the fund’s share price can fall because of weakness in the broad market, a particular industry, or specific holdings. Emerging market and international investments involve risk of capital loss from unfavorable fluctuations in currency values, differences in generally accepted accounting principles, economic or political instability in other nations or increased volatility and lower trading volume.
Pax International Sustainable Economy Fund RISKS: Equity investments are subject to market fluctuations, the fund’s share price can fall because of weakness in the broad market, a particular industry, or specific holdings. Emerging market and international investments involve risk of capital loss from unfavorable fluctuations in currency values, differences in generally accepted accounting principles, economic or political instability in other nations or increased volatility and lower trading volume.
Pax High Yield Bond Fund RISKS: The Fund can invest in “junk bonds” which are considered predominately speculative with respect to the issuer’s continuing ability to make principal and interest payments when due. Yield and share price will vary with changes in interest rates and market conditions. Investors should note that if interest rates rise significantly from current levels, bond fund total returns will decline and may even turn negative in the short term. Mortgage related securities tend to become more sensitive to interest rate changes as interest rates rise, increasing their volatility. There is also a chance that some of the fund’s holdings may have their credit rating downgraded or may default.
Pax Sustainable Allocation Fund RISKS: The Pax Sustainable Allocation Fund is a fund-of-funds. The funds’ allocations may change due to market fluctuations and other factors.

Emerging market and international investments involve risk of capital loss from unfavorable fluctuations in currency values, differences in generally accepted accounting principles, economic or political instability in other nations or increased volatility and lower trading volume.

The World Meteorological Organization reported in 2021 that climate- and weather-related disasters have risen five-fold over the last half century, comprising 11,000 individual events, more than two million lives lost and $3.64 trillion in financial losses.1
In 2021 alone, almost one in three Americans experienced a weather disaster.2 In western Europe, two months’ worth of rain fell in two days, causing several flood-related deaths. In central China, a three-day downpour delivered a year’s worth of rain in one city. A “heat dome” that enveloped much of the Pacific Northwest and Canada during the summer of 2021 caused several hundred deaths and damaged transportation infrastructures and crops. Fires forced evacuations and damaged property and infrastructure in the American west, the Mediterranean and Russia.3
2021 was the year climate change topped the charts, not only in terms of disasters and costs but also awareness. More than ever, people, companies and governments are realizing that climate change is here today; it is taking lives; and it is perhaps the greatest threat to prosperity that humankind has ever faced.
We saw evidence of this in November, at the COP26 global climate summit. Though governmental commitments to phase out coal or correct carbon markets didn’t match up to pre-COP hopes — aside from India’s net-zero pledge — we saw businesses and NGOs (“non-governmental organizations”) make notable advances to stop deforestation and reduce methane emissions. The private sector is taking climate change seriously now, and that’s significant because the private sector has a huge role to play in preventing a climate catastrophe, especially as governments wring their hands. Impax was one of the organizations at COP26; you can read much more about how we were involved and what we observed on the COP26 page of our website: www.impaxam.com/cop26.
But it will take more than the private sector to avoid a climate disaster. Everyone — from private citizens to governments to NGOs to investors and companies — has a key role to play. Today’s climate change costs pale in comparison to what future costs and damages will be. Swiss Re estimates that climate change could cost the world 10% of its total economic value by 2050 if we stay on our current warming trajectory.4 We need governments to step up and take bold action. We need investors to do the same.

Investing now in low-carbon technologies and solutions is likely to be less expensive than coping with increasingly severe and frequent disasters and heat waves. The IPCC estimates5 that it will take $1.6 – 3.8 trillion every year to avoid surpassing 1.5°C in additional warming between now and 2050. That is a hefty price tag, but technology to stem the damages, costs and suffering caused by climate change exists, and by investing in it, we also create jobs and add to economic output. Investing in both mitigation of additional emissions and adaptation to the changes that are unavoidable will be a far less chaotic approach to the problem of climate change than simply awaiting the effects.
And investing in climate mitigation need not be expensive in terms of financial outcomes for both equity and fixed income investors. In fact, it should be profitable. As mounting evidence shows, investing in mitigation and low-carbon solutions, or at least incorporating climate risks into investment portfolios, can provide competitive, if not superior, financial results to investors.6
We can’t avoid all the costs of climate change, even if we succeed in limiting future warming to levels established by the Paris Agreement. We need to assess our vulnerability to heat, floods, droughts, sea level rise, hurricanes and cyclones, wildfires, and the expansion of diseases and pests from the tropics into temperate regions, and we need to take steps to manage and adapt to those risks. Our options are far more numerous when we prepare for a crisis rather than trying to cope in the middle of one. That’s why last year we conducted an extensive engagement with companies in the S&P 500 focusing on the physical risks of climate change.7 While we found a small number of companies that are preparing, most are not. Because of this, investors cannot accurately price climate physical risks, since much of the information we need to do that would have to come from companies.
At Impax we are doing the best we can to prepare for climate change. We do this through our research and investments, by managing our funds’ carbon intensity, by engaging with companies to help them understand the implications of not taking climate into account in their operations and the advantages of managing and mitigating their climate risks. More and more companies are beginning to pay attention, and more investors like you are proactively seeking climate-friendly investment solutions. The more the merrier: averting a climate disaster will take every person in our global village.

Portfolio Managers’ Comments |
How did the Pax Large Cap Fund (the Fund) perform for the period?
For the one-year period ended December 31, 2021, the Institutional Class and Investor Class of the Fund had total returns of 30.92% and 30.57%, respectively, compared to 28.71% for the S&P 500 Index and 26.04% for the Lipper Large-Cap Core Funds Index.
What factors contributed to the Fund’s performance?
The Fund outperformed the S&P 500 Index for calendar year 2021 and experienced broad-based contributions from nearly every sector. The sectors which contributed the most to performance were Communications Services, Information Technology, and Industrials, while the Health Care sector detracted from the Fund’s overall relative performance. In addition, the Fund is fossil fuel-free, which hurt relative performance during the period as the Energy sector bounced back from a difficult 2020 to outperform the broader market in 2021.
Can you discuss any significant changes to the Fund’s positioning throughout the period?
The Fund added to Industrials and Consumer Staples during the period, while trimming its weight in Consumer Discretionary stocks. As the market strengthened during the year, we proactively took action to moderate some of the risk in the portfolio. The Fund ended the year with a beta1 of 0.93, an all-time low. We remain focused on companies with attractive prospects for earnings and cash flow growth looking out to 2022 and beyond.
What portfolio holdings contributed positively to performance?
Notable holdings that contributed positively to performance in 2021 were ViacomCBS, Applied Materials, and Fortinet. ViacomCBS had a volatile first half of the year, tripling in value through March before giving up most of those gains in a single week. We were able to take advantage of the volatility and lock in substantial gains. Even though the Fund sold its position in ViacomCBS by June of 2021, it still represents the single largest source of excess return for the full year.
Applied Materials has been a strong performer for the Fund since we purchased the security in early 2019, benefiting from secular and cyclical trends in the semiconductor capital equipment industry and we continue to like the positioning of the company. Fortinet performed well during the relatively short period that we owned the stock, as favorable cybersecurity trends and strong company execution combined to produce strong stock price gains. Based on our valuation discipline, we exited out of our position in Fortinet and redeployed the proceeds in Akamai, a more attractively priced cybersecurity stock.
What portfolio holdings detracted from performance?
Notably weak holdings were T-Mobile and Medtronic. T-Mobile has been a consistent market share gainer during our holding period, but the company encountered more resistance during 2021 as its large competitors focused on stabilizing their market share through aggressive pricing and promotions. We are focused on what we believe will be the likely growth of T-Mobile’s free cash flow over the next few years as the company is able to generate substantial cost savings from the integration of Sprint customers and by decommissioning Sprint’s network assets. A difficult period for Medtronic was characterized by delayed procedure volumes due to COVID-19, which was exacerbated by hospital labor shortages, and a quality control issue in one of their diabetes product facilities.

Portfolio Manager’s Comments |
How did the Pax Small Cap Fund (the Fund) perform for the period?
For the one-year period ended December 31, 2021, the Investor Class, Class A and Institutional Class shares of the Fund had total returns of 30.26%, 30.29% and 30.54%, respectively, compared to 14.82% for the Russell 2000 Index and 25.55% for the Lipper Small Cap Core Funds Index.
Impax is pleased to announce that Diederik Basch and Curtis Kim have been named Impax Portfolio Managers and will serve as co-Portfolio Managers of the Pax Small Cap Fund as of January 1, 2022. Diederik and Curtis have been members of the Fund’s Portfolio Construction Team (PCT) for several years — Diederik since 2016 and Curtis since 2018. Both have made significant contributions to the Fund as analysts and have clearly demonstrated their capabilities and competence as members of the PCT. We are delighted to recognize their contributions and to support their career progression as Portfolio Managers at Impax. Nathan Moser continues in the role of Portfolio Manager for the Fund, and the investment process remains unchanged.
What factors contributed to the Fund’s performance?
Equity markets were strong during the period as the US economy grew rapidly. Corporations have managed through the COVID-19 pandemic well and reported robust earnings growth despite continued waves of infection. From a style perspective, investors rotated from highly valued growth stocks and favored more cyclically-oriented value stocks during the course of the year. Due to the Fund’s exposure to higher quality, growth stocks, this represented a modest headwind to performance.
Fund performance was driven by strong stock selection, particularly in the Healthcare, Financials and Technology sectors. With respect to sector allocation, an underweight to Healthcare and overweight to Financials were positive contributors. The Fund’s lack of exposure to Energy and its cash holdings detracted from performance.
Can you discuss any significant changes to the Fund’s positioning throughout the period?
Over the course of the year, we increased our relative allocation to Healthcare and Consumer Discretionary. These were offset by reductions to Industrials and Financials. We continue to focus our efforts on security selection, to reduce the magnitude of sector over and underweights.
What portfolio holdings contributed positively to performance?
Onto Innovation, the product of an October 2019 merger, has successfully leveraged its newfound scale in a dynamic semiconductor equipment market. The scale has allowed Onto to become a consultative partner as compared to just a point solutions provider. We believe the well-publicized need for more advanced semiconductor capacity continues to play to Onto’s competitive strengths. Shares advanced 113% during the year.
Meridian Bancorp, a Massachusetts-based community bank, increased 64% during the period. Strong economic growth and the prospects of higher interest rates created a positive tailwind for shares. In addition, shares were further buoyed by the bank’s sale to Independent Bank. We believe this combination is attractive as it increases scale and enhances profitability.
What portfolio holdings detracted from performance?
8x8 came into 2021 with heighted optimism as David Sipes, former COO at RingCentral, became CEO. Sipes has “right-sized” the business, sacrificing high churn and low margin for small and medium-sized business revenue. We believe this is the right strategic focus; however, the change in strategy has weighed on near-term revenue growth. As a result, shares decreased -51% for the period. Despite this weakness, we continue to find the valuation compelling and keenly look for continued success in the enterprise channel.
SI-Bone, a medical device company, declined -26%. The company has developed an innovative device that has proven to not only reduce lower back pain, but also significantly reduce the potential for opioid addiction. The company and broader industry have been negatively impacted by COVID and its impact on procedure volumes. This is due to hospitals focusing on COVID cases as well as prospective patients deferring procedures due to fears of infection. We remain positive on SI-Bone’s outlook and used the weakness in its share price as an opportunity to add to our holding.

Portfolio Managers’ Comments |
How did the Pax US Sustainable Economy Fund (the Fund) perform for the period?
For the one-year period ended December 31, 2021, the Pax US Sustainable Economy Fund Investor Class, Class A, and Institutional Class shares had total returns of 30.02%, 29.99% and 30.35%, respectively, compared to 26.45% for the Russell 1000 Index and 23.28% for the Lipper Multi-Cap Core Funds Index.
What is the investment objective and strategy of the Fund?
The US Sustainable Economy Fund’s investment objective is to seek long-term growth of capital. The Fund uses a systematic strategy to invest in US companies that we believe are positioned to benefit from the transition to a more sustainable economy.
Effective March 31, 2021, the Pax ESG Beta Quality Fund was renamed the Pax US Sustainable Economy Fund to better reflect this core focus of investing in the transition to a more sustainable economy. The Fund’s investment process was also enhanced with the integration of the Impax Sustainability Lens into portfolio construction. The Impax Sustainability Lens, which is already used in several of our actively managed funds, is a tool that facilitates a systematic review of the economic opportunities and risks associated with the transition to a more sustainable economy. The Fund continues to integrate the Impax Systematic ESG Rating (formerly called the Impax Sustainability Score) and SmartCarbon™ discipline into its systematic process and we believe that the portfolio continues to be comprised of quality companies in US markets.
What contributed positively/negatively to performance?
The Fund outperformed the Russell 1000 Index in the first quarter as well as for the three quarters that followed the mandate change discussed above. The Fund has also produced strong results compared to peers under the new mandate. The Institutional Class shares of the Fund posted a top 10% ranking (out of 642 funds) for the one-year period ended December 31, 2021, based on average annual returns within the Lipper Multi-Cap Core category.1
The main drivers of outperformance in the first quarter were the Fund’s overweight to earnings yield, and profitability factors used in the ESG Beta Quality strategy. Additionally, the Fund’s overweight to companies with high ESG scores that fell in the top two quartiles, as determined by the Impax Systematic ESG Rating, helped performance for the first quarter.
In the nine months since the mandate change and the incorporation of the Impax Sustainability Lens into the investment process, the Fund’s overweight exposure to high-opportunity sub-industries, as determined by the Lens, has been beneficial. These are the areas of the market where we see the potential for strong future growth driven by products and services facilitating advancements in spaces such as automation, environmental analysis and health and wellness. Examples of strong performing sub-industries for the year in this category include Healthcare Facilities, Semiconductors, Environmental and Facilities Management, Life Sciences Tools and Railroads. In addition, the Fund’s avoidance of some low-opportunity areas, where we see less opportunity in the transition to a more sustainable economy, such as Movies & Entertainment and Airlines, also helped Fund performance.
The Impax Systematic ESG Rating was particularly additive in selecting highly-rated ESG companies. NVIDIA and Zoetis were two notable, top performing names based on their strong ESG Ratings. The Fund’s underweight, relative to its benchmark, to companies with lower ESG Ratings, also contributed positively to performance over the course of the year.
Not owning Tesla, which is excluded from the Fund’s investable universe from both a Lens (considered low-opportunity and high risk) and ESG Rating (low ESG score) perspective, was a primary detractor from performance during the annual reporting period.

Portfolio Managers’ Comments |
How did the Pax Global Sustainable Infrastructure (the Fund) perform for the period?
For the one-year period ended December 31, 2021, the Fund’s Institutional Class and Investor Class shares had total returns of 14.27% and 13.98%, respectively. The Fund outperformed its primary benchmark, the Russell 1000 Index, in the first quarter of 2021, however, after changes to the Fund’s investment strategy in the second quarter, the Fund ended the year underperforming its new primary benchmark, the S&P Global Infrastructure Index.
The Fund’s investment strategy was modified at the beginning of the second quarter to focus primarily on stocks the Adviser defines as sustainable infrastructure offerings, and its primary performance benchmark thereby changed from the Russell 1000 Index to the S&P Global Infrastructure Index.
In the first quarter, the Fund’s Institutional Class and Investor Class shares had total returns of 7.81% and 7.76%, respectively, compared to 5.91% for the Russell 1000 Index. For the remaining nine months of the year, the Fund’s Institutional Class and Investor Class had total returns of 5.89% and 5.66%, respectively, compared to 8.01% for the S&P Global Infrastructure Index.
What is the investment objective of the Fund?
The Global Sustainable Infrastructure Fund’s investment objective is capital appreciation and income. The Fund follows a sustainable investing approach, using a systematic process to invest in sectors, industries, and companies that the Adviser believes are positioned to provide infrastructure essential for the transition to a more sustainable global economy, integrating environmental, social and governance (ESG) analysis and ratings into portfolio construction.
Effective March 31, 2021, the Pax ESG Beta Dividend Fund was renamed the Pax Global Sustainable Infrastructure Fund. The Fund continues to seek both capital appreciation and income on behalf of shareholders by investing in companies that, in our view, are more likely to offer higher dividend yields. The Fund’s strategy was enhanced to better reflect a core focus on investing in the transition to a more sustainable economy. The Fund invests primarily in companies that support
“sustainable infrastructure” — companies that conserve, enable, or increase access to vital resources such as clean energy, water, food and agriculture, healthcare, education, finance, transportation and data and communications that advance well-being.
What contributed positively to performance?
The Fund outperformed the Russell 1000 Index benchmark in the first quarter. The main drivers of outperformance were the factors used in the ESG Beta Dividend Fund strategy. The portfolio’s tilt toward two dividend sustainability factors, profitability and earnings quality, contributed to relative performance. The tilt toward companies with higher dividend yields also had a positive impact on returns as companies with larger dividend payouts outperformed the broader market.
While the Fund did not outperform the S&P Global Infrastructure Index benchmark for the remainder of the year, the Fund’s tilt toward profitability and investment quality factors continued to have a positive impact. In addition, the Fund’s holdings in Water Infrastructure helped performance. The Water Utilities sub-sector performed strongly due to consolidation in the industry, which was reflected in Veolia’s purchase of Suez. The Fund benefitted from holding both companies involved in the merger. UK water utilities also contributed positively, partly due to government-backed cash flow.
Within the portion of the portfolio that we classify as Social and Economic Infrastructure, positive contributors included Building and Facilities, which continued to perform well amid a strong real estate market, and Healthcare infrastructure companies. The Fund’s exposure to sustainable REITs within both Building and Facilities and Healthcare infrastructure helped performance. The Fund also benefited from avoiding traditional transportation during this period.
What detracted from performance?
In the first quarter, industry exposures, which were driven by the ESG Beta Dividend strategy and its ESG tilts, modestly detracted from returns relative to the Russell 1000 Index. Notably, the portfolio’s underweight to the Energy and Financials sectors hurt relative performance.
For the remainder of the year, the main detractor from performance was an underweight in Energy exposure relative to the S&P Global Infrastructure Index. Not owning traditional oil and gas transport and storage companies was a drag on Fund performance as oil prices rose during the reporting period. Portfolio holdings in New

Energy that are focused on renewable power generation and distribution also detracted from performance. We believe that the scale of the opportunity for companies within New Energy, and particularly in the Energy Generation & Distribution sub-sector, remains strong in the medium- to long-term as countries formulate Net Zero plans, power grids evolve and as clean electricity consumption increases.
Additionally, the Communications & Data sector, an exposure that is a significant differentiator for the Fund since it is not included in our traditional infrastructure benchmark, underperformed during the last three quarters of 2021. Despite the short-term underperformance in this sector, we remain optimistic that this sector’s access to information, communication, banking, education, and employment will be a growing and foundational component of the modern global sustainable economy.

Portfolio Managers’ Comments |
How did the Pax Global Opportunities Fund (the Fund) perform for the period?
For the one-year period ended December 31, 2021, the Fund’s Institutional Class and Investor Class shares had total returns of 18.96% and 18.69%, respectively, compared to 18.54% for the MSCI All-Country World (Net) Index (“MSCI ACWI”) and 12.93% for the Lipper Global Multi-Cap Growth Funds Index.
What factors contributed to the Fund’s performance?
In 2021 the Fund modestly outperformed the MSCI ACWI, with contributions from both positive sector allocation and stock selection. The lack of exposure to the Energy sector was a headwind to portfolio performance, as Energy performed well during the reporting period. This was offset, however, by the Fund’s underweight positions in the Consumer Discretionary and the Communication Services sectors which underperformed the broader market. In Health Care, companies engaged in the outsourcing of drug discovery, development and manufacturing performed strongly, as did Life Science Tools companies. Materials stocks enabling the transition to biofuels, more nutritious ingredients and energy efficiency also benefitted the portfolio. In Industrials, a broad range of companies contributed to performance, including businesses with exposure to the sharing economy, software-as-a-service and water optimization. The Financials sector was the largest detractor from performance due to disruptions from COVID- 19, with Indian Financials experiencing temporary business disruptions and Asian insurance names impacted by delays to reopening the Hong Kong/China border.
Can you discuss any significant changes to the Fund’s positioning throughout the period?
While there have been some changes to the sizing of the positions, the overall positioning of the Fund relative to the MSCI ACWI Index has not changed significantly over the year. The Fund has maintained overweight positions in Health Care, Materials and Information Technology and underweight positions in Consumer Discretionary, Communication Services, and Energy. The notable
December 31, 2021 |
Pax Global Opportunities Fund, continued |
changes were a decrease in Consumer Staples from a benchmark neutral allocation to an underweight allocation and an increase in Industrials from a neutral allocation, to an overweight allocation. In the case of Consumer Staples, the portfolio exited names which had been negatively impacted by COVID-19 restrictions and where there was lower conviction. In the case of Industrials, the Fund increased exposure to companies with strong secular growth drivers that benefitted from a return to more normal economic activity as well as quality names which, in our view, had been overlooked by the market and had been exhibiting stable growth and more defensive characteristics.
What portfolio holdings contributed positively to performance relative to the MSCI ACWI?
Information Technology names have continued to benefit from investment in digitalization and in growth in demand for semiconductors. Microsoft (Systems Software, US) performed well on the back of strong quarterly results indicating significant momentum behind the company’s Azure cloud computing segment. In addition, the stock has benefited from the emergence of newer growth drivers such as LinkedIn and Teams.
ASML (Semiconductor Equipment, Netherlands) has benefitted from rapid growth in demand for the company’s leading-edge semiconductor manufacturing equipment from TSMC and Intel, both of which announced large increases in capital expenditure plans, as well as rising demand for legacy products as semiconductor chip shortages widen.
In Health Care, IQVIA (Life Sciences Tools & Services, US) has performed well after producing a series of positive results showing revenue acceleration across its business divisions. Most recently, the company announced good Q3 results with a third guidance raise for the full year, followed by a Capital Markets Day where the company indicated stronger than expected mid-term growth prospects. The company has seen an acceleration to top-line growth, driven by strong demand in its core Clinical Research Organization (CRO) business and Technology & Analytics Solutions division.
What portfolio holdings detracted from performance relative to the MSCI ACWI?
Portfolio holdings that detracted from performance during the period tended to be affected by stock specific factors.
Bandhan Bank (Regional Banks, India) underperformed earlier in the year as they adopted a more conservative approach to provisioning for non-performing loans ahead of regional elections. However, these levels of provisioning proved appropriate, as the stock faced headwinds from strict local lockdowns and movement restrictions during India’s second COVID wave, resulting in lower collection efficiency and an increase in non-performing loans. Recently the name has been negatively impacted by fears about the impact of the new COVID-19 variant Omicron on business activity, despite the progress in the national vaccination program. The investment team continues to monitor the situation.
TeamViewer’s (Application Software, Germany) share price declined as the market discounted an increase in advertising spending, aimed at increasing brand awareness with both personal and enterprises users. The stock also reacted negatively to cautious comments by management which highlighted a reduction in average contract values as customers re-evaluated their needs one year on from the start of the pandemic. The company disclosed higher churn in the Enterprise business, which crystallized lower conviction, and the stock was exited during the third quarter.
AIA Group’s (Insurance, Hong Kong) share price has struggled amid industry wide weak new business growth in the China market, negative sentiment due to COVID-19-related delays of re-opening the Hong Kong-China border and generally weaker sentiment toward insurance names.

Portfolio Managers’ Comments |
How did the Pax Global Environmental Markets Fund perform for the period?
For the one-year period ended December 31, 2021, the Investor Class, Class A, and Institutional Class of the Fund had total returns of 21.95%, 21.89%, and 22.23%, respectively, versus 18.54% for the MSCI All-Country World (Net) Index (“MSCI ACWI”) and 20.46% for the FTSE Environmental Opportunities Index Series (“FTSE EOAS”).
What factors contributed to the Fund’s performance?
Global equity markets delivered strong performance in 2021 despite ongoing concerns over new variants of COVID-19. Supportive fiscal and monetary policies, lifting of COVID-19 restrictions, and rapid progress of vaccination programs resulted in an acceleration in economic activity. Earnings growth by companies in the portfolio continued to surprise on the upside, driven by pent up demand, rising consumer and business confidence, supportive policy, and strong demand for environmental solutions. Economic pace, coupled with supply chain disruptions and low base effects, also brought a rise in inflation, resulting in central banks taking action to tighten monetary policy. Swift sector and style rotations followed, as market participants balanced COVID and inflation risks. The rally was tempered by the emergence of the Omicron variant in mid-November, which led to heightened volatility during the last six weeks of the year.
Environmental markets saw tailwinds from several sources in 2021. The 26th United Nations Climate Change Conference widened the ranks of countries adopting Net Zero pledges. The emergence of coalitions of key actors around issues such as reducing coal power, deforestation, and methane emissions was a notable success. Business and finance drove ambitious commitments alongside governments, while various global policy efforts to ‘build back better’ continued with positive momentum.
Within Environmental Markets, the Water Infrastructure & Technologies and Energy Efficiency themes, particularly Industrial Energy Efficiency, contributed the most to returns. Renewable energy stocks closed lower during the period after posting large gains in 2020, as companies in this subsector were negatively affected by rising supply chain costs and logistical challenges.
Can you discuss any significant changes to the Fund’s positioning throughout the period?
The overall number of portfolio holdings remained relatively steady at 49 names, with low turnover around 14%. From a GICS1 sector perspective, we added to holdings within Information Technology as the role of both hardware and software solutions continue to increase for areas such as resource and energy efficiency. One such addition was Microsoft, whose use of highly energy efficient and often renewable energy-powered cloud datacenters plays an important role in resource efficiency. New technology names in the portfolio translated into increased Industrials Energy Efficiency exposure by environmental markets sector. Given some larger market capitalizations, the weighted average market cap for the Fund rose from around $45 billion to just over $100 billion. Regionally, North American holdings exposure rose slightly, primarily due to the strong performance of the US equity market. Overall, the investment team deems the portfolio well positioned, with roughly half of the holdings representing more defensive business models, and half more cyclical. On a relative basis, the portfolio is less cyclically oriented, and more defensively positioned compared to MSCI ACWI, as we expect the market is entering a more volatile period in anticipation of higher US interest rates.
What portfolio holdings contributed positively to performance relative to the MSCI ACWI?
Positive effects from stock selection continue to be an important driver of outperformance compared to MSCI ACWI. This was particularly evident for Industrials holdings in the portfolio, which generated much higher returns than their peers in the broader index, but good stock selection was also evident in Health Care, Materials, and Consumer Discretionary portfolio holdings. Holdings in these sectors are active in businesses as varied as food preparation resource efficiency, waste management, climate equipment for buildings, water infrastructure, the resiliency of the electrical grid, environmental testing, and green data centers.
December 31, 2021 |
Pax Global Environmental Markets Fund, continued |
What portfolio holdings detracted from performance relative to the MSCI ACWI?
Information Technology and Utilities were GICS sectors in which the strategy lagged the broader market on a comparative basis. This was partly a result of specific headwinds or challenges at the company level – such as for a number of holdings in software technology, but also because during a strong sector rotation, the overall market rotated out of higher growth names and toward more value-oriented parts of the market. In addition, several mega cap technology stocks notched strong performance for the year, and while these names are in the Fund’s benchmark, they are not included in the environmental markets universe. Within Utilities, Orsted A/S, a Danish renewable energy company, posted negative returns during the period and detracted from relative performance in this sector.

Portfolio Managers’ Comments |
How did the Pax Ellevate Global Women’s Leadership Fund (the Fund) perform for the period?
For the one-year period ended December 31, 2021, the Investor and Institutional Class had total returns of 17.27% and 17.56%, respectively, compared to 19.46% for the Impax Global Women’s Leadership Index (Women’s Index), 21.82% for the MSCI World (Net) Index (World Index) and 18.11% for the Lipper Global Multi-Cap Core Funds Index.
Global equity markets, as measured by the World Index, increased by 21.82% during the year. Momentum and high beta stocks dominated global market performance, creating a headwind given the Fund’s lower risk and higher quality profile.
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 systematic 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.1
The Fund’s systematic investment process overweights the portfolio toward Women’s Index companies with the most favorable gender leadership characteristics seeking to capture the increased investment returns we believe gender-diverse leadership will deliver over time. The Fund exceeds global markets on key gender characteristics including greater representation of women on boards and in senior management. Women hold 42% of the board seats and 35% of senior management positions in companies in the Fund, compared to 32% and 24%, respectively, within the World Index. In addition, 97% 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 60% and 80%, respectively, for companies in the World Index. 39% of companies in the Fund have a woman CEO or CFO, compared with 17% of companies in the World Index. In addition, 53% of companies in the Fund have disclosed pay equity analysis, an increase of 12% year-over-year from constituents within our gender leadership universe.
What contributed positively to performance?
The Fund benefited from strong results from several higher-rated companies across multiple sectors. Principal Financial, Microsoft, Bank of America and JPMorgan Chase within Financials and Technology outperformed. Within Heath Care, Pfizer, Eli Lilly and Novo Nordisk in Pharmaceuticals added to performance, along with Quest Diagnostics and Anthem in Health Care Providers & Services. In addition, Estee Lauder and L’Oréal within Consumer Staples outperformed.
What detracted from performance?
During the year, the highest-rated quartile of companies within the World Index, based on the Impax Gender Score, trailed performance of the second and third quartiles, creating a headwind to Fund performance. However, the Fund’s avoidance of companies ranked in the bottom quartile, the worst performing segment, helped performance.
Not owning a few high performing stocks that fall outside the Fund’s universe, like Apple2, NVIDIA, Alphabet and Tesla hurt relative performance. In addition, several highly rated gender leadership companies based on the Impax Gender Score, across a few sectors underperformed. Within Industrials, Sunrun detracted, along with DocuSign, Autodesk and Pinterest within Technology. Additionally, the Fund’s lack of exposure to the Energy sector, due to being fossil fuel free, detracted from relative performance as the Energy sector posted robust returns, due to the continued rise in oil prices throughout the year.

Portfolio Managers’ Comments |
How did the Pax International Sustainable Economy Fund (the Fund) perform for the period?
For the one-year period ended December 31, 2021, the Institutional Class and Investor Class had total returns of 11.19% and 10.88%, respectively, compared to 11.26% for the MSCI EAFE (Net) Index (EAFE Index), 11.29% for the MSCI EAFE ESG Leaders (Net) Index and 12.16% for the Lipper International Large-Cap Core Funds Index.
During the period, the Fund modestly underperformed the EAFE Index, with strong relative performance during the second half of the year bringing returns for the year just shy of the benchmark.
During the period, the Fund crossed its ten-year since inception milestone. The Fund has outperformed the EAFE Index over the 3-year, 5-year, 10-year and since inception periods ending December 31, 2021. Specifically, over its since inception period (10 years and 11 months, ended December 31, 2021), the Fund’s Institutional Class shares and Investor Class shares have returned 6.17% and 5.90%, respectively, versus the EAFE Index return of 5.72%. We believe that this result, combined with the Fund’s lower risk1 profile, demonstrates the Fund’s long-term risk-adjusted advantage relative to the EAFE Index.
In addition, the Fund has produced strong long-term results compared with its peers. The Institutional Class shares of the Fund (PXNIX) has posted a top 35% ranking (out of 117 funds) over the three-year period, top 22% ranking (out of 101 funds) over the five-year period, top 25% ranking (out of 87 funds) over the ten-year period, and top 16% ranking (out of 71 funds) since inception for the period ended December 31, 2021, based on average annual returns within the Lipper International Large-Cap Core category.2
What is the investment objective of the Fund?
The International Sustainable Economy Fund’s investment objective is to seek long-term growth of capital. The Fund uses a systematic strategy to invest in non-US developed markets companies that we believe are positioned to benefit from the transition to a more sustainable economy.
December 31, 2021 |
Pax International Sustainable Economy Fund, continued |
Effective March 31, 2021, the Pax MSCI EAFE ESG Leaders Index Fund was renamed the Pax International Sustainable Economy Fund to better reflect this core focus of investing in the transition to a more sustainable economy. The Fund’s investment process was also enhanced with the integration of the Impax Sustainability Lens (Lens) into portfolio construction. The Lens, which is already used in several of our actively managed funds, is a tool that facilitates a systematic review of the economic opportunities and risks associated with the transition to a more sustainable economy. The Fund continues to integrate SmartCarbonTM into its systematic process and we believe that the Fund continues to be a well-diversified portfolio, comprised of companies in non-US developed markets that we feel are ESG leaders.
What contributed positively to performance?
Stock selection of companies with higher ESG ratings as well as those companies within high-opportunity sub-industries was the largest contributor to relative performance. Straumann, Lonza, RELX and CNP Assurance within the Health Care Equipment, Life Sciences Tools & Services, Research & Consulting Services and Life & Health Insurance sub-industries, respectively, were standout relative performers for the year.
Companies with higher ESG ratings outperformed average and lower ESG rated companies during the year. The Fund’s overweight positioning towards top tier MSCI ESG Rating3 companies along with its underweight allocation to lower-rated ESG companies, significantly helped performance.
The Fund utilizes SmartCarbonTM, a proprietary tool that replaces energy sector holdings with energy efficiency stocks. During the period, the Fund’s SmartCarbonTM approach added to relative return. The overweight allocation to energy efficiency companies had a positive impact on performance, with ASML, Schneider Electric and Tokyo Electron posting strong stock specific results. The Fund’s avoidance of the Energy sector detracted from returns due to rising oil prices throughout the year, partially offsetting positive results from the energy efficiency allocation.
In addition, over the period since the SmartCarbon™ approach was integrated into the investment process, it has added 2.39% of relative annualized return compared to the EAFE Index (27-month period: 9/30/2019 – 12/31/2021). Both the Fund’s overweight toward energy efficiency companies and avoidance of the Energy sector have benefited performance.
What detracted from performance?
During the period, the Fund modestly underperformed the EAFE Index, with strong relative performance during the second half of the year bringing returns for the year just shy of the benchmark. Overall Lens positioning was a slight detractor from performance, as low-opportunity and high-risk sub-industries outperformed high-opportunity sub-industries.
The Fund’s avoidance of high-risk low-opportunity sub-industries detracted, as many of these sub-industries outperformed during the year. Apparel Accessories & Luxury Goods was the largest relative detractor in this group. We believe companies in this sub-industry do not have meaningful alignment with opportunities associated with the transition to a sustainable economy and exhibit higher risk due to environmental and social issues within their supply chains. In addition, Fund holdings in the Utilities sector detracted, driven by poor results from Orsted, Iberdrola and Enel, three electric utility companies focused on renewable energy production and goals to reduce GHG emissions in line with the Paris Agreement.

1 | The Fund’s inception date is January 27, 2011. Prior to March 31, 2021, Pax International Sustainable Economy Fund was known as Pax MSCI EAFE ESG Leaders Index Fund (the “EAFE ESG Index Fund”) and the strategy of the Fund differed from its current strategy. Accordingly, performance of the Fund for periods prior to March 31, 2021 may not be representative of the performance the Fund would have achieved had the Fund been following its current strategy. Effective March 31, 2014, the EAFE ESG Index Fund acquired the assets of Pax World International Fund, a series of Pax World Funds Series Trust I, and of Pax MSCI EAFE ESG Index ETF, a series of Pax World Funds Trust II, pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of Reorganization dated December 13, 2013 (the “Reorganizations”). Because the EAFE ESG Index Fund had no investment operations prior to the closing of the Reorganizations, and based on the similarity of the EAFE ESG Index Fund to Pax MSCI EAFE ESG Index ETF, Pax MSCI EAFE ESG Index ETF (the “Predecessor Fund”) is treated as the survivor of the Reorganizations for accounting and performance reporting purposes. Accordingly, all performance and other information shown for the International Sustainable Economy Fund for periods prior to March 31, 2014 is that |

Portfolio Managers’ Comments |
How did the Pax Core Bond Fund (the Fund) perform for the period?
For the one-year period ended December 31, 2021, the Institutional Class and Investor Class shares of the Fund had total returns of -1.38% and -1.63%, respectively, compared to -1.54% for the Bloomberg U.S. Aggregate Bond Index and -1.17% for the Lipper Core Bond Funds Index.
What factors contributed to the Fund’s performance?
During the period, the Fund benefited from both security selection and allocation across multiple sectors. The primary contributors were Treasury holdings and asset-backed securities (ABS).
The Fund was underweight Treasuries for the period which helped performance in a rising rate environment. Additionally, the Fund’s allocation to Treasury Inflation Protection Securities (TIPS) performed well as inflation expectations have risen.
The Fund’s ABS holdings benefited from shorter duration positioning. In addition, most ABS experienced strong collateral performance in the year due to monetary and fiscal stimulus programs.
Can you discuss any significant changes to the Fund’s positioning throughout the period?
Since the beginning of the year, we positioned the portfolio for continued improvement in the economy and slightly rising interest rates. Our approach is to maintain a duration-neutral portfolio and, as such, we do not try to predict interest rate movements.
Our strategy to blunt the potential rise in rates is to overweight credit sectors, including corporate bonds and ABS. Both corporate bonds and ABS have benefited in this fixed income environment, and we believe should continue to benefit from the monetary and fiscal stimulus programs and the re-opening of global economies.
As we head into 2022, while the Fund remains overweight corporate bonds, we have trimmed some of the positions we feel were fully valued. We plan to allocate more resources to the ABS sector given current valuations.
December 31, 2021 |
Pax Core Bond Fund, continued |
What portfolio holdings contributed positively to performance?
A number of our holdings within the Corporate and ABS sectors were positive contributors. Holdings such as American Museum of Natural History, USAA Capital Corp and Tesla Auto Lease Trust were among top contributors.
What portfolio holdings detracted from performance?
The Fund’s long-dated Treasury holdings with maturities in 2040, 2050 and 2051 detracted from performance. These securities did not perform well in the rising interest rate environment during the period. We manage a duration-neutral portfolio and we believe that our Treasury holdings help offset shorter-duration positions in other sectors.

* | 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. |

For the one-year period ended December 31, 2021, the Investor Class, Class A, and Institutional Class shares of the Fund had total returns of 2.96%, 3.11%, and 3.36% respectively, compared to 4.58% for the ICE BofA Merrill Lynch U.S. High Yield—Cash Pay—BB-B (Constrained 2%) Index (the Index) and 5.85% for the Lipper High Yield Bond Funds Index.
What factors contributed to the Fund’s performance?
During the period, high yield asset class returns were relatively strong at 5.36% as represented by the ICE BofA US High Yield Index.1 Credit spreads declined by -71 basis points during 2021 due to subsiding COVID concerns and robust global equity market performance. The high yield market absorbed meaningfully higher interest rates and performed well, relative to most fixed income asset classes.
The Fund’s underweight in the Energy sector, which notably outperformed during the reporting period, was the primary driver of the Fund’s underperformance. We finalized the implementation of the Fund’s fossil fuel free approach earlier in the year and continue to believe the high yield Energy sector’s longer-term fundamentals remain challenged despite the recent improvement in commodity prices.
In addition, several of the sectors that we consider as being well positioned for the transition to a more sustainable economy, did not rebound as strongly as we anticipated from COVID-induced weakness in 2020. We believe that these sectors tend to be more stable and durable and remain core to our long-term approach. The Fund’s overweights in Media, Healthcare and Telecommunications detracted as these sectors lagged.
Credit selection was a positive contributor, slightly offsetting the sector allocation drag mentioned previously. Media, Consumer Goods and Utilities were three areas of strong credit selection during the period.

Pax High Yield Bond Fund, continued |
In aggregate, during a period of significantly higher commodity prices and a preference for lower quality credits, our emphasis on more durable sectors and credits with strong environmental, social and governance (ESG) profiles detracted from performance.
Can you discuss any significant changes to the Fund’s positioning throughout the period?
During the period, the Fund divested from fossil fuels. The decision to limit exposure to fossil fuels reflects our concern about the high yield energy sector’s challenging future fundamentals and poor return prospects, as well as our explicit alignment with the transition to a more sustainable economy. By reducing exposure to fossil fuel companies, we aim to build a more resilient portfolio for our investors, to mitigate climate-related risks and accelerate the low carbon energy transition. We recognize there may be short-term periods of underperformance if the Energy sector performs well, as it did during 2021; however, we believe this will also be accompanied by periods of outperformance when Energy lags. In aggregate, we believe that avoiding the Energy sector in the high yield asset class will result in higher returns and lower volatility over medium- and long-term horizons.
In terms of other sector allocations, the Fund increased exposure to the Services, Technology and Utility sectors while reducing exposure to Basic Industry, Telecommunications and Financial Services.
The Fund’s credit rating exposure changed modestly in 2021. We reduced allocations to BBB and BB rated bonds and added B rated bonds where we found strong relative value. CCC rated bonds ended the year at approximately 9% of the portfolio, down slightly from the end of 2020. Over the course of the year, BB rated bonds decreased to 41.5% from 42.8%, and B rated bonds increased to 42.5% from 38.9%. As of December 31, 2021, the average credit quality of the Fund as measured by S&P was unchanged at B+. We continue to manage the Fund’s duration to be generally in-line with its benchmark. The effective duration of the Fund at year-end was 3.84 years versus the benchmark effective duration of 4.05 years.
What portfolio holdings contributed positively to performance?
Avantor, a healthcare and life sciences company, performed well as they experienced strong organic growth and have a rapidly improving debt profile.
Land O’Lakes, a leading dairy and animal feed producer, had a strong year and, in our view, is executing its farmer-cooperative owned strategy well.
Michaels Stores, a leading retailer of arts and craft products, performed strongly under new ownership and pandemic-induced demand.
Lastly, our underweight in Bausch Health contributed to relative performance as this large index constituent underperformed.
What portfolio holdings detracted from performance?
Altice USA, a cable and broadband provider, had a challenging year due to growing competitive pressures. As a relatively large core holding, the modest underperformance presented a headwind.
Emergent BioSolutions, a specialty biopharmaceutical company, experienced a number of operational challenges and underperformed.
Endo International, a generic drug maker, is facing several legal challenges and growing competition for one of their larger products, which resulted in a difficult year.
Finally, not owning Occidental Petroleum and our underweight to Bath & Body Works detracted as both companies performed well.

Portfolio Managers’ Comments |
How did the Pax Sustainable Allocation Fund (the Fund) perform for the period?
For the one-year period ended December 31, 2021, the Investor Class and Institutional Class of the Fund had total returns of 15.31% and 15.64%, respectively, compared to 28.71% for the S&P 500 Index, 15.86% for the 60% S&P 500/40% Bloomberg US Aggregate Bond Index blend (the Blended Index), and 13.89% for the Morningstar Allocation – 50% to 70% Equity category average.
Relative to peers in the Morningstar Allocation – 50% to 70% Equity category, the Fund’s Institutional Class ranked in the 32nd percentile for the annual reporting period. The Fund’s Institutional Class performance ranked in the 12th percentile (out of 665 funds) for the 3-year and in the 16th percentile (out of 601 funds) for the 5-year period ending December 31, 20211 in the Morningstar Allocation – 50% to 70% Equity category. During the reporting period, the Pax Sustainable Allocation Fund reached a significant milestone and celebrated its 50th anniversary. Having launched in August 1971, the Fund was the first publicly available mutual fund in the US to use social and environmental as well as financial criteria in the investment process.
What factors contributed to the Fund’s performance?
Global equity markets delivered a robust performance in 2021, despite ongoing concerns over new COVID variants. At the start of the reporting period, global economic activity was accelerated by supportive fiscal and monetary policies, the lifting of COVID restrictions and the rapid progress of vaccination programs. Corporate earnings growth continued to surprise to the upside, driven by pent up demand and rising consumer and business confidence. Growth in demand, coupled with supply chain disruptions and low base effects have resulted in a continuing rise in inflation throughout the year, which resulted in central banks taking action to tighten monetary policy.
December 31, 2021 |
Pax Sustainable Allocation Fund, continued |
US large capitalization stocks delivered strong performance for the annual reporting period, with the S&P 500 Index returning 28.7%, considerably outperforming international stocks, as measured by the MSCI EAFE Index which returned 11.2%. Fixed income returns finished the year in negative territory, as measured by the Bloomberg US Aggregate Bond Index, which was down -1.5%. In this environment, the Fund’s slight overweight to stocks and underweight to bonds was a significant positive contributor to performance relative to the Blended Index. However, the Fund’s allocation to international stocks detracted from relative performance as non-US stocks underperformed their US counterparts and international stocks are not included in the 60% S&P 500/40% Bloomberg US Aggregate Bond Blended Index. The Fund’s small allocation to cash also detracted from performance.
Can you discuss any significant changes to the Fund’s positioning throughout the period?
Throughout 2021, the Fund remained modestly overweight equities and underweight fixed income. The Fund established initial positions in the Pax High Yield Bond Fund and the Pax Global Sustainable Infrastructure Fund (GSI Fund) to provide enhanced diversification and potentially new sources of alpha. Equity valuations remain stretched, but interest rates remain low relative to historical levels and low rates combined with very tight spreads limit the upside to bond returns. In this environment, the Fund continues to be slightly overweight equity, with an underweight to fixed income and a modest allocation to cash.
What portfolio holdings contributed positively and negatively to performance?
The Pax Large Cap Fund, the Fund’s largest equity holding, was also the largest contributor to return as it outperformed its benchmark, the S&P 500 Index, returning 30.9% (Institutional Class) versus 28.7%. The Fund’s allocation to the Pax Small Cap Fund was also a positive contributor as it meaningfully outperformed its benchmark, the Russell 2000 Index, returning 30.5% (Institutional Class) versus 14.8%, in a year where small cap stocks significantly lagged the performance of large cap stocks. The GSI Fund detracted from performance as conventionally more defensive infrastructure companies lagged the performance of the broader US and global markets. Additionally, traditionally more carbon intensive energy companies outperformed the GSI Fund’s allocation to companies engaged in more sustainable energy practices.

The Pax Sustainable Allocation Fund’s Institutional Class performance for the 1-year period ranked 183 out of 710 (32nd percentile), for the 3-year period ranked 70 out of 665 (12th percentile), for the 5-year period ranked 77 out of 601 (16th percentile), and for the 10-year period 123 |
out of 433 (29th percentile).

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 July 1, 2021 and ending on December 31, 2021.
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.

5 | To manage cash flows, minimize trading costs and equitize cash balances in between trading blocks of securities, the Global Women’s Leadership Fund utilizes one or more exchange-traded funds (ETFs), the combination of which is intended to track the Fund’s broad-based benchmark. These investments are frequent and short-term, however, the Fund is required to include such ETF investment activity in the calculation of its portfolio turnover. Had such transactions been excluded, the portfolio turnover would have been 26% for the year ended December 31, 2021, 37% for the year ended December 31, 2020, 25% for the year ended December 31, 2019, 47% for the year ended December 31, 2018, and 25% for the year ended December 31, 2017. |

6 | To manage cash flows, minimize trading costs and equitize cash balances in between trading blocks of securities, the International Sustainable Economy Fund utilizes one or more exchange-traded funds (ETFs) which have an investment objective that tracks the Fund’s broad-based benchmark. These investments are frequent and short-term, however, the Fund is required to include such ETF investment activity in the calculation of its portfolio turnover. Had such transactions been excluded, the portfolio turnover would have been 41% for the year ended December 31, 2021, 27% for the year ended December 31, 2020, 19% for the year ended December 31, 2019, 18% for the year ended December 31, 2018, and 16% for the year ended December 31, 2017. |

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 December 31, 2021, Trust I offered ten investment funds: Pax Large Cap Fund (the “Large Cap Fund”), Pax Small Cap Fund (the “Small Cap Fund”), Pax US Sustainable Economy Fund (the “US Sustainable Economy Fund”, formerly known as Pax ESG Beta Quality Fund), Pax Global Sustainable Infrastructure Fund (the “Global Sustainable Infrastructure Fund”, formerly known as Pax ESG Beta Dividend Fund), Pax Global Opportunities Fund (the “Global Opportunities Fund”), Pax Global Environmental Markets Fund (the “Global Environmental Markets Fund”), Pax International Sustainable Economy Fund (the “International Sustainable Economy Fund”, formerly known as Pax MSCI EAFE ESG Leaders Index Fund), Pax Core Bond Fund (the “Core Bond Fund”), Pax High Yield Bond Fund (the “High Yield Bond Fund”), and Pax Sustainable Allocation Fund (the “Sustainable Allocation 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.
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, Global Sustainable Infrastructure Fund, Global Opportunities Fund, Global Women’s Leadership Fund, International Sustainable Economy Fund, Core Bond Fund and Sustainable Allocation Fund each offer two classes of shares—Investor Class shares and Institutional Class shares. The Small Cap Fund, US Sustainable Economy 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 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 US Sustainable Economy 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 large-capitalization U.S. equity securities.
The Global Sustainable Infrastructure Fund’s investment objective is capital appreciation and income. The Fund seeks to achieve its investment objective by investing, under normal market conditions, at least 80% of its assets in equity securities of companies that the Adviser determines derive significant revenues (i.e., at least 20% of revenues) from owning, operating, developing or distributing sustainable infrastructure-related goods, services or assets.
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 European 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 International Sustainable Economy Fund’s investment objective is to seek long-term growth of capital. The Fund seeks to achieve this objective by investing, under normal circumstances, more than 80% of its assets in large-capitalization equity securities in non-U.S. developed markets, including American Depositary
Receipts, Global Depositary Receipts and Euro Depositary Receipts. The Fund may take significant positions in one or more non-U.S. developed markets, including the Asia and Pacific region and the European Union.
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 & 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 Sustainable Allocation 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 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 (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 Adviser’s 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 December 31, 2021, 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 $298,550, representing 0.04% of the Fund’s net asset value and the High Yield Bond Fund held three securities fair valued at $510,838, representing 0.08% 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 December 31, 2021:

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, and one security based on broker valuation levels. 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 premium amortization period is to the earliest 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

Notes to Financial Statements, continued |
the nature and type of expense and the relative net assets of the Funds. Investment income, realized and unrealized gains and losses are allocated based upon the relative daily net assets of each class of shares.
Federal Income Taxes Each of the Funds has elected to be treated and intends to 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 December 31, 2021, non-cash collateral consisted of U.S. Treasuries, short-term U.S. Government agency obligations and sovereign debt.
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 December 31, 2021, the value of securities loaned, payable for collateral due to brokers and non-cash collateral pledged by brokers were as follows:

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 December 31, 2021, 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 December 31, 2021.

The Funds are permitted to purchase and sell securities (“cross-trade”) from and to other Funds within the Trusts or other accounts managed by the Adviser pursuant to “Cross-Trading” Procedures adopted by the 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 year ended December 31, 2021, the Global Women’s Leadership Fund and the International Sustainable Economy Fund engaged in cross-trades. The Global Women’s Leadership Fund and the International Sustainable Economy Fund had total purchases of $0 and $461,543, respectively, and total sales of $461,543 and $0, respectively. The Global Women’s Leadership Fund and International Sustainable Economy Fund had net gains of $5,681 and $0, 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 December 31, 2021, the Core Bond
Fund held $114,374,375 or 14.56% of net assets and the High Yield Bond Fund held $569,205,276 or 76.87% of net assets in securities exempt from registration under Rule 144A of the Act.
At December 31, 2021 the Core Bond Fund held $4,056,693 of illiquid securities representing 0.52% of net assets and High Yield Bond Fund held $1,110,975 of illiquid securities, representing 0.15% 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)

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 2018 through 2021). 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, 2021, no provision for federal income tax is necessary and, therefore, the Funds did not have a liability for any unrecognized tax expenses.

Basis for Opinion
These financial statements are the responsibility of the Trusts’ management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on each of the Funds’ financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (“PCAOB”) and are required to be independent with respect to the Trusts in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Trusts are not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of the Trusts’ internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Trusts’ internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.
Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of December 31, 2021, by correspondence with the custodian and brokers or by other appropriate auditing procedures where replies from brokers were not received. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
