LETTER TO SHAREHOLDERS
Dear Fellow Shareholder,
At Domini Impact Investments every stock or bond we own has been chosen carefully based on the impact it has on people and on the planet. By examining clues in corporate culture, we seek to identify investments that are peer leaders in addressing their key sustainability challenges.
Each industry faces unique risks and challenges, so our research takes anindustry-by-industry approach. We identify the most egregious practices within each industry as well as the best. We then systematically review each company with the lens of these key indicators to determine which companies to invest in.
A frustrating problem we must often confront is the inadequate monetary accounting for corporate impact. Simply stated, current corporate disclosure requirements and practices ignore the full cost of adverse behaviors. But these costs are high and are worth examining further.
One example to consider is air pollution. Sulfur dioxide is a compound which largely results from coal-fired electricity-generating power plants and industrial processes such as refining or metal processing. Once airborne, the toxic gas transforms into particles that blow for hundreds of miles. Pollutants like sulfur dioxide are a leading cause of asthma, but the metal smelting operator (for example) does not pay for the resulting health care cost and most certainly not the human cost. The asthmatic population and their families, the healthcare system, and the general public shoulders the expense, while the metal smelting operator reaps the profits.
This example illustrates the challenge of a full impact evaluation. To be effective, we need to stand back and attempt to understand just how a company’s behavior effects the natural ecosystem and our social systems. Then we must decide whether to own it in our portfolios. This is the primary way that responsible investors respond to and raise awareness of our planet’s greatest challenges.
In this semi-annual report, we present you with our work on forests, an area where we employ this full-system view. This report is especially timely given the ongoing rampant destruction of forests, both as a result of climate change and deliberate actions by corporations or their suppliers. Forests are the lungs of our planet and to save them we must go beyond avoiding drivers of deforestation. Now is the time for investors, companies and consumers to appropriately value forests, so we can account for and steward their immense value.

INVESTINGFOR GOOD®
Consider the value we receive fromold-growth forests that remove carbon dioxide from the atmosphere. Unlike newly regrown forests, old forests have created a dense soil resulting from centuries of plants and animals dying, decomposing and nurturing new growth. Theold-growth forests sequester carbon in their soil, trees, and the rich web of life they harbor. Since carbon dioxide is the primary cause of climate change, naturally trapping the carbon in the earth and out of our atmosphere is crucial to slowing climate change and its already unfolding disasters. Forests are part of the climate solution and reforestation and rewilding can provide significant carbon sinks.
Climate change has real monetary consequences and therefore a monetary analysis of the value of carbon sequestration by forests is possible. But the work remains ahead; we still disagree about how to value our undeniably precious environment. It is not the first time we have been confronted by the shortcomings of our measurements of wellbeing. In 1968 Robert F. Kennedy, referring to the Gross Domestic Product (GDP), said, “It measures everything in short, except that which makes life worthwhile.”
We cannot dismiss the truth unfolding before us. We must conscientiously review the facts, strive for greater disclosure and better solutions, and raise the alarm about breakdowns in many systems that we humans depend upon. Forests are one such core system and the following pages discuss why.
To shift away from today’s unsustainable paradigm, investors, companies and consumers must change how we understand our impact. We must step back to see the whole picture and the whole planet. Only then will our solutions be grand enough to match our challenges.
Thank you for your continued support of the responsible investing movement. Your investment with us is, we believe, a part of the solution.

YOUR MONEY AT WORK
Focusing on Forests
Companies Drive Deforestation. Investors Can Stop Them.
Most tropical deforestation is driven by just four commodities: palm oil, cattle, soy, and wood products. These products are produced and bought by major corporations and find their way into our everyday lives. With fires raging in the Amazon and Indonesia, as well as Australia and California, many people are asking what they can do to protect the world’s forests. Investors, both institutional and individual, have a huge role to play in preserving and enhancing forests. Investors can pressure companies to halt deforestation in their supply chains and can divest from companies that engage in forest-harming practices. Investors that fail to address deforestation in their portfolios are not only exposed to cross-sector risk, but also miss the opportunity to help create the much-needed forest solutions we need.
![LOGO](https://capedge.com/proxy/N-CSRS/0001193125-20-102710/g860906g20z82.jpg)
The unprecedented forests fires have reminded us how much we care about forests and the animals that inhabit them. These disasters have also highlighted how much we depend on forests for clean air and a stable climate. Forests’ capacity for carbon capture could be a powerful solution to climate change, but currently an estimated 15% of all greenhouse gas emissions result from deforestation. In addition, deforestation is a threat to biodiversity and rural and indigenous communities that depend upon forests for their livelihoods.

Supporting Forests
Domini Impact Investments has a long history of working to support forests. We both avoid investing in drivers of deforestation and work to create sustainable practices. In practice, this goal means we avoid investments in industrial agriculture and other environmentally intensive practices that can have detrimental impacts on land and water resources, including forests.
In Brazil, for example, most forest loss is driven by land-clearing, including intentional fires, to increase agricultural production. Much of this land-clearing is illegal but persists due to Brazil’s poor enforcement of environmental laws and insufficiently resourced regulatory agencies. Industrial farming in Brazil is centered on large-scale cattle ranching and soy plantations. Due to violations of environmental regulations including widespread deforestation, as well as corruption, encroachment into indigenous territory, and the waste and emissions in meat production, we avoid companies engaging in soy and cattle farming in Brazil and companies that export and trade these products.
Instead, we seek investments that promote the protection and preservation of forests, wildlife and ecosystems. We favor companies that integrate sustainable practices into their global supply chains, such as using rigorous sustainability certifications for timber. We also look for companies that are reducing pollution of air and waterways, understand and report on how their operations impact forests and local ecosystems, and responsibly manage relations with local and indigenous communities. We recently reviewed our proprietary key performance indicators across all sectors to codify risks related to deforestation to help us better identify companies that are having a positive impact on forests.
We seek investments that promote
the protection and preservation of
forests, wildlife and ecosystems.
To support solutions to forest loss, we raise awareness of the crucial functions of forests with corporations and industry partners. We push companies to achieve deforestation-free supply chains. We work with portfolio companies, including food manufacturers and retailers, to reduce demand for products that cause deforestation and help them to work with their suppliers to create deforestation-free supply chains for inputs.
Many companies we approve for investment are already having a positive impact. These include Klabin SA, a Brazilian packaging and agroforestry company. Klabin has 100%FSC-certified forests, the first company in the Southern Hemisphere with the certification, and the company’s
5
INVESTINGFOR GOOD®
production facilities are alsoFSC-certified. We consider FSC to be the best forestry standard, as it includes biodiversity and community factors in its assessment. The company maintains 48% of forest area for conservation and maintenance of biodiversity in accordance with Brazil’s Forest Code, which requires20-80% of holdings be set aside as legal reserves, depending on plot size and location. Klabin uses a mosaic concept for forest management, wherein pine and eucalyptus plantations are mixed with areas of native forests in order to create ecological corridors.
Good governance, including strong legal protections and enforcement, is crucial for sustainable forests. Apart from direct company and sector work, we have supported legislation that would require companies involved in public procurement to haveno-deforestation policies and enforcement mechanisms in place. We recently organized investor support for the California Deforestation-Free Procurement Act. The Act would require companies doing business with California to have policies, certification and public disclosure regarding deforestation and human rights. This disclosure would help investors identify companies that are fulfilling their zero deforestation commitments.
Stewarding Forests
Companies and investors must go beyond avoiding deforestation to creating solutions and restoring forest landscapes. In our discussions about forests with portfolio companies, those that have the best forest practices recognize risk exposure goes beyond their own impact and supply chain. They know that deforestation is complicated and try to work with many partners, including vertically, horizontally and across sectors to scale change. And they recognize that dire nature of deforestation means they must seek solutions proactively, without waiting on peers or government action.
Companies and investors must go beyond
avoiding deforestation to creating solutions
and restoring forest landscapes.
This year we engaged with 68 companies in our portfolios that both impact forests and depend on them, whether for forest-derived products or ecosystem services. We had positive responses from many corporations, holding discussions with them about how they consider the value they obtain from forests and how they can better work to steward it. Through these dialogues we have begun to identify corporate actors that are effectively protecting and supporting forests and some of the specific practices and qualities that set them apart.

INVESTINGFOR GOOD®
Investors must also fundamentally change their mindset about how they consider forest value. We find two root causes underlying continued deforestation. First, today’s focus on short-term profit leads to practices that extract value while perversely undermining the very source of the value. Second, without an appropriate value and cost framework, investors and corporations do not feel the need or responsibility to steward the forests we all rely upon.
We are uniquely positioned to make the case to our peers that they must do more to identify and manage forest value. Carole Laible, our CEO, addressed audiences at Responsible Investor New York about the connection between forests and food security. She explained the urgent need for investors and companies to understand how much value their operations receive from natural ecosystems, especially forests, and called on the attendees to steward environmental and social systems.
If we recognize how much value we receive from ecosystems, we can begin to foster and enhance that value, with benefits for our businesses, employees, rural communities, and the environment.
Carole also spoke to financial advisors at a Money Management Institute event, explaining how we consider and act on forests’ economic value and work to improve how deforestation is addressed. She illustrated how investors must go beyond mitigating harm to forests through portfolio operations to positively enhancing forest systems in order to preserve and enhance the value in their investments.
To send a public message in response to the surge in fires in the Amazon rainforest this summer, we joined 230 investors representing over $16 trillion in assets to call for urgent action on the fires in the Amazon. The statement asked investors and corporations to take actions ranging from public statements to making commitments about supply chain practices.
Moving to a Forest-Positive Economy
Large corporations and their investors often drive deforestation. Through conventional investing practices, investors contribute to the worsening of profound environmental change that poses systemic environmental risks with potentially adverse impacts on their holdings across all asset classes. These investors should consider their impact on forests when making investment decisions. Investors can encourage proper valuation of natural services from forests and inclusion of reforestation in climate change strategies, while helping corporations not only avoid harming forests but positively impacting them.

INVESTINGFOR GOOD®
Domini recognizes forests’ critical role in global environmental and social systems. We can and do drive change, not only helping to combat commodity-driven deforestation but encouraging reforestation, biodiversity conservation, and sustainable development. We will continue prioritizing forests as a key foundation for a sustainable economy, divesting when necessary and working with our partners and portfolio companies to foster forest health.

DOMINI IMPACT BOND FUND
Fund Performance and Holdings
The bar chart below provides information as of January 31, 2020, about the percentage of the Domini Impact Bond Fund’s portfolio holdings invested in various types of debt obligations:
PORTFOLIO COMPOSITION (% OF NET ASSETS) (Unaudited)
![LOGO](https://capedge.com/proxy/N-CSRS/0001193125-20-102710/g860906g13a83.jpg)
During periods of rising interest rates, bond funds can lose value. Some of the Fund’s community development investments may be unrated and may carry greater risks than the Fund’s other holdings. The Fund currently holds a large percentage of its portfolio in mortgage-backed securities. During periods of falling interest rates these securities may prepay the principal due, which may lower the Fund’s return by causing it to reinvest at lower interest rates.
Investments in derivatives can be volatile. Potential risks include currency risk, leverage risk (the risk that small market movements may result in large changes in the value of an investment), liquidity risk, index risk, pricing risk, and counterparty risk (the risk that the counterparty may be unwilling or unable to honor its obligations). TBA (To Be Announced) securities involve the risk that the security the Fund buys will lose value prior to its delivery. There also is the risk that the security will not be issued or that the other party to the transaction will not meet its obligation, which can adversely affect the Fund’s returns.
The reduction or withdrawal of historical financial market support activities by the U.S. Government and Federal Reserve, or other governments/central banks could negatively impact financial markets generally, and increase market, liquidity and interest rate risks which could adversely affect the Fund’s returns.
The Global Industry Classification Standard (“GICS”) was developed by and is the exclusive property and a service mark of MSCI Inc. (“MSCI”) and Standard & Poor’s, a division of The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc. (“S&P”) and is licensed for use by Domini Impact Investments.

(a) The maximum potential amount the Fund could be required to pay as a seller of credit protection or receive as a buyer of credit protection if a credit event occurs as defined under the terms of that particular swap agreement.
(b) The prices and resulting values for credit default swap agreements on credit indices serve as an indicator of the current status of the payment/performance risk and represent the likelihood of an expected liability (or profit) for the credit derivative should the notional amount of the swap agreement be closed/sold as of the period end. Increasing market values, in absolute terms when compared to the notional amount of the swap, represent a deterioration of the referenced entity’s credit soundness and a greater likelihood or risk of default or other credit event occurring as defined under the terms of the agreement.
(c) If the Fund is a buyer/(seller) of protection and a credit event occurs, as defined under the terms of that particular swap agreement, the Fund will either (i) receive from the seller/(pay to the buyer) of protection an amount equal to the notional amount of the swap and deliver/(take delivery) of the referenced obligation or underlying securities comprising the referenced index or (ii) receive/(pay) a net settlement amount in the form of cash or securities equal to the notional amount of the swap less the recovery value of the referenced obligation of underlying securities comprising the referenced index.

DOMINI FUNDS EXPENSE EXAMPLE (Unaudited)
As a shareholder of the Domini Funds, you incur two types of costs:
(1) Transaction costs such as redemption fees deducted from any redemption or exchange proceeds if you sell or exchange shares of the fund after holding them less than 30 days and sales charges (loads) on Class A shares and
(2) Ongoing costs, including management fees, distribution(12b-1) fees, and other Fund expenses.
This example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds. The example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested on August 1, 2019 and held through January 31, 2020.
Certain Account Fees
Some accounts are subject to recurring annual service fees and maintenance fees that are not included in the expenses shown in the table. If your account was subject to these fees, then the actual account values at the end of the period would be lower and the actual expense would be higher. You may avoid the annual service fee by choosing paperless electronic delivery of statements, prospectuses, shareholder reports and other materials.
Actual Expenses
The line of the table captioned ‘‘Actual Expenses’’ below provides information about actual account value and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, together with the amount invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period as follows:
(1) Divide your account value by $1,000.
(2) Multiply your result in step 1 by the number in the first line under the heading ‘‘Expenses Paid During Period’’ in the table.
The result equals the estimated expenses you paid on your account during the period.
Hypothetical Expenses
The second line of the table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund’s return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate 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 Fund and other mutual funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical example that appears in the shareholder reports of the other funds.
48
Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs, such as redemption fees. Therefore, the second line of the 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, your costs would have been higher.

1. ORGANIZATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The Domini Investment Trust is a Massachusetts business trust registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 as anopen-end management investment company. The Domini Investment Trust comprises three separate series: Domini Impact International Equity Fund, Domini Impact Equity Fund, and Domini Impact Bond Fund (each the “Fund,” collectively the “Funds”). The financial statements of the Domini Impact Bond Fund are included on page 80 of this report. Each Fund is an investment company and accordingly follows the investment company accounting and reporting guidance of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the “FASB”) Accounting Standard Codification Topic 946 “Financial Services — Investment Companies”. The Domini Impact International Equity Fund offers Investor shares, Class A shares, Institutional shares and Class Y shares. Class A, Institutional and Class Y shares of the Domini Impact International Equity Fund were not offered prior to November 28, 2008, November 30, 2012, and June 15, 2018 respectively. The Domini Impact Equity Fund offers Investor shares, Class A shares, Institutional shares and Class R shares. Class R shares of the Domini Impact Equity Fund commenced on November 28, 2003. Class A and Institutional shares of the Domini Impact Equity Fund commenced on November 28, 2008. The Investor shares, Institutional shares, Class R shares and Class Y shares are sold at their offering price, which is net asset value. The Class A shares are sold with afront-end sales charge (load) of up to 4.75%. The Institutional shares may only be purchased by or for the benefit of investors that meet the minimum investment requirements, and fall within the following categories: endowments, foundations, religious organizations and other nonprofit entities, individuals, retirement plan sponsors, family office clients, certain corporate or similar institutions, or omnibus accounts maintained by financial intermediaries and that are approved by the Fund’s Distributor. Class R shares are generally available only to certain eligible retirement plans and endowments, foundations, religious organizations, and othertax-exempt entities that are approved by the Fund’s Distributor. Class Y shares may only be purchased through omnibus accounts held on the books of the Fund for financial intermediaries that have been approved by the Funds’ distributor. All classes of shares have identical rights and voting privileges with respect to the Fund in general and exclusive voting rights on matters that affect that class alone. Earnings, net assets, and net asset value per share may differ due to each class having its own expenses, such as transfer and shareholder servicing agent fees and registration fees, directly attributable to that class. Class R, Institutional and Class Y shares are not subject to distribution and service fees.

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent 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 following is a summary of the Funds’ significant accounting policies.
(A) Valuation of Investments. Securities listed or traded on national securities exchanges are valued at the last sale price reported by the security’s primary exchange or, if there have been no sales that day, at the mean of the current bid and ask price that represents the current value of the security. Securities listed on the NASDAQ National Market System are valued using the NASDAQ Official Closing Price (the “NOCP”). If an NOCP is not available for a security listed on the NASDAQ National Market System, the security will be valued at the last sale price or, if there have been no sales that day, at the mean of the current bid and ask price. Securities for which market quotations are not readily available or as a result of an event occurring after the close of the foreign market but before pricing the Funds are valued at fair value as determined in good faith under procedures established by and under the supervision of the Funds’ Board of Trustees. Securities that are primarily traded on foreign exchanges generally are valued at the closing price of such securities on their respective exchanges, except that if the Trusts’ manager or submanager, as applicable, is of the opinion that such price would result in an inappropriate value for a security, including as a result of an occurrence subsequent to the time a value was so established, then the fair value of those securities may be determined by consideration of other factors (including the use of an independent pricing service) by or under the direction of the Board of Trustees or its delegates.
The Funds follow a fair value hierarchy that distinguishes between (a) market participant assumptions developed based on market data obtained from sources independent of the reporting entity (observable inputs) and (b) the Fund’s own assumptions about market participant assumptions developed based on the best information available in the circumstances (unobservable inputs). These inputs are used in determining the value of the Funds’ investments and are summarized in the following fair value hierarchy:
Level 1 — quoted prices in active markets for identical securities
Level 2 — other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, and evaluated quotation obtained from pricing services)

Level 3 — significant unobservable inputs (including the Funds’ own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments)
The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
(B) Foreign Currency Translation. Securities and other assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollar amounts on the date of valuation. Purchases and sales of securities, and income and expense items denominated in foreign currencies, are translated into U.S. dollar amounts on the respective dates of such transactions. Occasionally, events impact the availability or reliability of foreign exchange rates used to convert the U.S. dollar equivalent value. If such an event occurs, the foreign exchange rate will be valued at fair value using procedures established and approved by the Board of Trustees. The Funds do not separately report the effect of fluctuations in foreign exchange rates from changes in market prices on securities held. Such fluctuations are included with the net realized and unrealized gain or loss from investments. Realized foreign exchange gains or losses arise from sales of foreign currencies, currency gains or losses realized between the trade and settlement dates on securities transactions, and the difference between the recorded amounts of dividends, interest, and foreign withholding taxes and the U.S. dollar equivalent of the amounts actually received or paid. Net unrealized foreign exchange gains and losses arise from changes in fair value of assets and liabilities other than investments in securities held at the end of the reporting period, resulting from changes in exchange rates.
66
DOMINI IMPACT INTERNATIONAL EQUITY FUND
DOMINI IMPACT EQUITY FUND
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS(continued)
January 31, 2020 (Unaudited)
(C) Foreign Currency Contracts. When the Funds purchase or sell foreign securities, they enter into foreign exchange contracts to minimize foreign exchange risk from the trade date to the settlement date of the transactions. A foreign exchange contract is an agreement between two parties to exchange different currencies at an agreed-upon exchange rate on a specified date. The Domini Impact Equity Fund had no open foreign currency spot contracts and the Domini Impact International Equity Fund had $3,597,878 outstanding as of January 31, 2020.
(D) Investment Transactions, Investment Income and Dividends to Shareholders. Investment transactions are accounted for on trade date. Realized gains and losses from security transactions are determined on the basis of identified cost. Interest income is recorded on an accrual basis. Dividend income, net of any applicable withholding tax, is recorded on theex-dividend date or for certain foreign securities, when the information becomes available to the Funds. The Funds earn income daily, net of Fund expenses. Dividends to shareholders of the Domini Impact International Equity Fund are usually declared and paid semiannually from net investment income. Dividends to shareholders of the Domini Impact Equity Fund are usually declared and paid quarterly from net investment income. Distributions to shareholders of realized capital gains, if any, are made annually. Distributions are determined in conformity with income tax regulations, which may differ from generally accepted accounting principles. Reclassifications have been made to the Funds’ components of net assets to reflect income and gains available for distribution (or available capital loss carryovers, as applicable) under income tax regulations.
(E) Federal Taxes. Each Fund’s policy is to comply with the provisions of the Internal Revenue Code applicable to regulated investment companies and to distribute substantially all of its taxable income, including net realized gains, if any, within the prescribed time periods. Accordingly, no provision for federal income or excise tax is deemed necessary. As of January 31, 2020, tax years 2016 through 2019 remain subject to examination by the Funds’ major tax jurisdictions, which include the United States of America, the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, and New York State.
(F) Redemption Fees. Redemptions and exchanges of Fund shares held less than 30 days may be subject to the Funds’ redemption fee, which is 2% of the amount redeemed. The fee is imposed to offset transaction costs and other expenses associated with short-term investing. The fee may be waived in certain circumstances at the discretion of the Funds. Such fees are retained by the Funds and are recorded as an adjustment topaid-in capital.

(G) Other. Income, expenses (other than those attributable to a specific class), gains, and losses are allocated on a daily basis to each class of shares based upon the relative proportion of net assets represented by such class. Operating expenses directly attributable to a specific class are charged against the operations of that class.
(H) Transfer Agent Credits. Per the arrangement with the Funds’ transfer agent, BNY Mellon Investment Servicing (U.S.) Inc., the Funds have arrangements whereby they may receive earnings credits when positive cash balances are maintained, which are used to offset transfer agency fees. For financial reporting purposes, the Funds include earnings credits as an expense offset in the Statement of Operations. For the six months ended January 31, 2020, Transfer agency fees of the Funds, under these arrangements, were reduced as follows:
| | | | |
Domini Impact International Equity Fund Investor Shares | | $ | 899 | |

Domini Impact Equity Fund Class A Shares | | | 11 | |
| |
Domini Impact Equity Fund Institutional Shares | | | 3 | |
| |
Domini Impact Equity Fund Class R Shares | | | 5 | |
(I) Indemnification. The Funds’ organizational documents provide current and former trustees and officers with a limited indemnification against liabilities arising in connection with the performance of their duties to the Funds. In the normal course of business, the Funds may also enter into contracts that provide general indemnifications. The Funds’ maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would be dependent on future claims that may be made against the Funds. The risk of material loss from such claims is considered remote.
2. TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES
(A) Manager/Sponsor. The Funds have retained Domini Impact Investments LLC (Domini) to serve as investment manager and administrator.

5. FEDERAL TAX STATUS
The tax basis of the components of net assets for the Funds at July 31, 2019, are as follows:
| | | | | | | | |
| | Domini Impact International Equity Fund | | | Domini Impact Equity Fund | |
Undistributed Ordinary Income | | $ | 34,293,912 | | | $ | 385,594 | |
Undistributed capital gains | | | - | | | | 15,320,007 | |
Unrealized appreciation/(depreciation) | | | 33,899,831 | | | | 128,809,917 | |
Capital losses, other losses and other temporary differences | | | (105,893,243) | | | | - | |
| | | | | | | | |
Distributable net earnings/(deficit) | | $ | (37,699,500) | | | $ | 144,515,518 | |
| | | | | | | | |
The difference between components of Distributable Earnings on a tax basis and the amounts reflected in the statement of assets and liabilities is primarily due to differences in book and tax policies. For the year ended July 31, 2019, the Funds made the following reclassification to the components of net assets to align financial reporting with tax reporting:
| | | | | | | | |
| | Domini Impact International Equity Fund | | | Domini Impact Equity Fund | |
Paid-in Capital | | $ | (3) | | | $ | - | |
Undistributed net investment income (loss) | | | 1,574,618 | | | | (59,718) | |

To the extent that the Funds realize net capital gains in the future, those gains may be offset by any unused net capital loss carryforwards. The Funds are permitted to carry forward a net capital loss from any taxable year that began on or before December 22, 2010 for eight years following the year of the loss. The Funds are permitted to carry forward net capital losses incurred in taxable years beginning after December 22, 2010, for an unlimited time period. Carryforwards of losses from taxable years that began after December 22, 2010, along with any other capital losses deferred and treated as recognized in any such year, are required to be utilized prior to carryforwards of losses incurred in taxable years that began on or before December 22, 2010. As a result of this ordering rule, carryforwards of losses from taxable years that began on or before December 22, 2010 may be more likely to expire unused. Losses from taxable years that begin after December 22, 2010 that are carried forward will retain their character as either short-term or long-term capital losses. As of July 31, 2019, the Domini Impact Equity Fund had a short-term capital loss carryover of $69,035,664 and long-term capital loss carryover of $36,857,579.
For federal income tax purposes, dividends paid were characterized as follows:

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |

6. OTHER RISKS
The Funds’ risks include, but are not limited to, some or all of the risks discussed below:
Market Risk: The market values of securities or other assets will fluctuate, sometimes sharply and unpredictably, due to changes in general market conditions, overall economic trends or events, governmental actions or intervention, market disruptions caused by trade disputes or other factors, political developments, recessions, the spread of infectious illness or other public health issues, investor sentiment and other factors that may or may not be related to the issuer of the security or other asset. If the market values of the securities or other assets held by the Funds fall, including a complete loss on any individual security, the value of your investment will go down. Economies and financial markets throughout the world are increasingly interconnected. Economic, financial or political events, trading or tariff arrangements, terrorism, natural disasters and other circumstances in one country or region could have profound impacts on global economies or markets. As a result, whether or not the Funds invests in securities of issuers located in or with significant exposure to the countries directly affected, the value and liquidity of the Funds’ investments may be negatively affected.
Recent Events Risk: The respiratory illness COVID-19 caused by a novel coronavirus has resulted in a global pandemic and major disruption to economies and markets around the world, including the United States. Financial markets have experienced extreme volatility and severe losses, and trading in many instruments has been disrupted. Liquidity for many instruments has been greatly reduced for periods of time. Some interest rates are very low and in some cases yields are negative. Some sectors of the economy and individual issuers have experienced particularly large losses. These circumstances may continue for an extended period of time, and may continue to affect adversely the value and liquidity of the Funds’ investments. The ultimate economic fallout from the pandemic, and the long-term impact on economies, markets, industries and individual issuers, are not known. Governments and central banks, including the Federal Reserve in the U.S., have taken extraordinary and unprecedented actions to support local and global economies and the financial markets. The impact of these measures, and whether they will be effective to mitigate the economic and market disruption, will not be known for some time.
Impact Investing Risk: The application of the adviser’s environmental and social standards and the timing of the subadviser’s implementation of such standards will affect the Fund’s exposure to certain issuers, industries, sectors,
78
DOMINI IMPACT INTERNATIONAL EQUITY FUND
DOMINI IMPACT EQUITY FUND
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS(continued)
January 31, 2020 (Unaudited)
regions, and countries and may impact the relative financial performance of the Fund — positively or negatively — depending on whether such investments are in or out of favor.
Information Risk: There is a risk that information used by the adviser to evaluate the environmental and social performance of issuers, industries, markets, sectors, and regions may not be readily available, complete, or accurate, which could negatively impact the adviser’s ability to apply its environmental and social standards, which may negatively impact Fund performance. This may also lead the Funds to avoid investment in certain issuers, industries, markets, sectors, or regions.
Foreign Investing and Emerging Markets Risk: Investments in foreign regions may be more volatile and less liquid than U.S. investments due to adverse political, social, and economic developments, such as nationalization or expropriation of assets, confiscatory taxation, terrorism and political or financial instability; regulatory differences, such as accounting, auditing, and financial reporting standards and practices; natural disasters; and the degree of government oversight and supervision. With respect to the Domini Impact International Equity Fund, these risks may be heightened in connection with investments in emerging-market countries.
Portfolio Management Risk: With respect to the Equity Fund, the value of your investment may decrease if the Adviser’s judgment about the attractiveness or value of, or market trends affecting a particular security, industry, sector or region, or about market movements, is incorrect or does not produce the desired results. In addition, the Equity Fund’s investment strategies or policies may change from time to time. Those changes may not lead to the results intended by the Adviser and could have an adverse effect on the value or performance of the Equity Fund.
Style Risk: With respect to the International Fund, the value of your investment may decrease if the subadviser’s quantitative investment approach does not respond well to current market conditions or its judgment regarding the quality, value, or market trends affecting a particular security, industry, sector, or region is incorrect. The subadviser’s quantitative model relies upon a complex software system, and failure of the system to function or the presence of software errors could have an adverse impact on the value of International Fund performance.

1. ORGANIZATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The Domini Impact Bond Fund (the “Fund”) is a series of the Domini Investment Trust. The Trust is a Massachusetts business trust registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 as anopen-end management investment company. The Fund is an investment company and accordingly follows the investment company accounting and reporting guidance of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the “FASB”) Accounting Standard Codification Topic 946 “Financial Services — Investment Companies”. The Fund offers Investor Shares, Institutional Shares and Class Y shares. Institutional shares and Class Y shares were not offered prior to November 30, 2011, and June 15, 2018, respectively. As of January 31, 2020, the Class Y shares of the Bond Fund had not yet commenced operations. Each class of shares is sold at its offering price, which is net asset value. The Institutional shares may only be purchased by or for the benefit of investors that meet the minimum investment requirements, and fall within the following categories: endowments, foundations, religious organizations and other nonprofit entities, individuals, retirement plan sponsors, family office clients, certain corporate or similar institutions, or omnibus accounts maintained by financial intermediaries and that are approved by the Fund’s Distributor. Class Y shares may only be purchased through omnibus accounts held on the books of the Fund for financial intermediaries that have been approved by the Funds’ distributor. Each class of shares has identical rights and voting privileges with respect to the Fund in general and exclusive voting rights on matters that affect that class alone. Earnings, net assets, and net asset value per share may differ due to each class having its own expenses, such as transfer and shareholder servicing agent fees and registration fees, directly attributable to that class. Institutional shares are not subject to distribution fees. The Fund seeks to provide its shareholders with a high level of current income and total return by investing in bonds and other debt instruments that are consistent with the Fund’s social and environmental standards and the submanager’s security selection approach.
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent 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 following is a summary of the Fund’s significant accounting policies.

(A) Valuation of Investments. Bonds and other fixed-income securities (other than obligations with maturities of 60 days or less) are valued on the basis of valuations furnished by an independent pricing service, use of which has been approved by the Board of Trustees of the Fund. In making such valuations, the pricing service utilizes both dealer-supplied valuations and electronic data processing techniques that take into account appropriate factors such asinstitutional-size trading in similar groups of securities, yield, quality, coupon rate, maturity, type of issue, trading characteristics, and other market data, without exclusive reliance upon quoted prices or exchange orover-the-counter prices, since such valuations are believed to reflect more accurately the fair value of such securities. Short-term obligations of sufficient credit quality (maturing in 60 days or less) are valued at amortized cost, which constitutes fair value as determined by the Board of Trustees of the Fund. Securities (other than short-term obligations with remaining maturities of 60 days or less) for which there are no such quotations or valuations are valued at fair value as determined in good faith by or at the direction of the Fund’s Board of Trustees.
The Fund follows a fair value hierarchy that distinguishes between (a) market participant assumptions developed based on market data obtained from sources independent of the reporting entity (observable inputs) and (b) the Fund’s own assumptions about market participant assumptions developed based on the best information available in the circumstances (unobservable inputs). These inputs are used in determining the value of the Fund’s investments and are summarized in the following fair value hierarchy:
Level 1 — quoted prices in active markets for identical securities
Level 2 — other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, and evaluated quotation obtained from pricing services)
Level 3 — significant unobservable inputs (including the Fund’s own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments). The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.

on the respective dates of such transactions. Occasionally, events impact the availability or reliability of foreign exchange rates used to convert the U.S. dollar equivalent value. If such an event occurs, the foreign exchange rate will be valued at fair value using procedures established and approved by the Board of Trustees. The Funds do not separately report the effect of fluctuations in foreign exchange rates from changes in market prices on securities held. Such fluctuations are included with the net realized and unrealized gain or loss from investments. Realized foreign exchange gains or losses arise from sales of foreign currencies, currency gains or losses realized between the trade and settlement dates on securities transactions, and the difference between the recorded amounts of dividends, interest, and foreign withholding taxes and the U.S. dollar equivalent of the amounts actually received or paid. Net unrealized foreign exchange gains and losses arise from changes in fair value of assets and liabilities other than investments in securities held at the end of the reporting period, resulting from changes in exchange rates.
(C) Foreign Currency Contracts. When the Funds purchase or sell foreign securities they enter into foreign exchange contracts to minimize foreign exchange risk from the trade date to the settlement date of the transactions. A foreign exchange contract is an agreement between two parties to exchange different currencies at an agreed-upon exchange rate on a specified date. The Fund had no outstanding open foreign currency spot contracts as of January 31, 2020.
(D) Securities Purchased on a When-Issued or Delayed Delivery Basis. The Fund may invest in when-issued or delayed delivery securities where the price of the security is fixed at the time of the commitment but delivery and payment take place beyond customary settlement time. These securities are subject to market fluctuation, and no interest accrues on the security to the purchaser during this period. The payment obligation and the interest rate that will be received on the securities are each fixed at the time the purchaser enters into the commitment. Purchasing obligations on a when-issued or delayed delivery basis is a form of leveraging and can involve a risk that the yields available in the market when the delivery takes place may be higher than those obtained in the transaction, which could result in an unrealized loss at the time of delivery. The Fund establishes a segregated account consisting of liquid securities equal to the amount of the commitments to purchase securities on such basis.
(E) TBA Purchase and Forward Sale Commitments. The Fund may enter into TBA commitments to purchase or sell securities for a fixed price at a future date. TBA commitments are considered securities in themselves and involve a
88

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS(continued)
January 31, 2020 (Unaudited)
risk of loss if the value of the security to be purchase or sold declines or increases prior to the settlement date, which is in addition to the risk of decline in the value of the Fund’s other assets.
(F) Derivative Financial Instruments. The Fund may invest in derivatives in order to hedge market risks, or to seek to increase the Fund’s income or gain. Derivatives in certain circumstances may require that the Fund segregate cash or other liquid assets to the extent the Fund’s obligations are not otherwise covered through ownership of the underlying security, financial instrument, or currency. Derivatives involve special risks, including possible default by the other party to the transaction, illiquidity, and the risk that the use of derivatives could result in greater losses than if it had not been used. Some derivative transactions, including options, swaps, forward contracts, and options on foreign currencies, are entered into directly by the counterparties or through financial institutions acting as market makers (OTC derivatives), rather than being traded on exchanges or in markets registered with the Commodity Futures Trading Commission or the SEC.
(G) Option Contracts. The Fund may purchase or write option contracts primarily to manage and/or gain exposure to interest rate, foreign exchange rate and credit risk. An option is a contract entitling the holder to purchase or sell a specific number of shares or units of an asset or notional amount of a swap (swaption), at a specified price. Options purchased are recorded as an asset while options written are recorded as a liability. Upon exercise of an option, the acquisition cost or sales proceeds of the underlying investment is adjusted by any premium received or paid. Upon expiration of an option, any premium received or paid is recorded as a realized gain or loss. Upon closing an option other than through expiration or exercise, the difference between the premium and the cost to close the position is recorded as a realized gain or loss. The Fund had no purchased option contracts outstanding as of January 31, 2020.
(H) Futures Contracts. The Fund may purchase and sell futures contracts based on various securities, securities indexes, and other financial instruments and indexes. The Fund intends to use futures contracts for hedging purposes. Futures contracts provide for the future sale by one party and purchase by another party of a specified amount of a specified security or financial instrument at a specified future time and at a specified price. When the Fund purchases or sells a futures contract, the Fund must allocate certain of its assets as an initial deposit on the contract. The futures contract is marked to market daily thereafter, and the Fund may be required to pay or entitled to receive
89
DOMINI IMPACT BOND FUND
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS(continued)
January 31, 2020 (Unaudited)
additional “variation margin,” based on decrease or increase in the value of the futures contract. Future contracts outstanding at January 31, 2020 are listed in the Fund’s Portfolio of Investments.
(I) Forward Currency Contracts. The Fund may enter into forward currency contracts with counterparties to hedge the value of portfolio securities denominated in particular currencies against fluctuations in relative value or to generate income or gain. These contracts are used to hedge foreign exchange risk and to gain exposure on currency. The U.S. dollar value of forward currency contracts is determined using current forward exchange rates supplied by a quotation service. The fair value of the contract will fluctuate with changes in currency exchange rates. The contract is marked to market daily and the change in fair value is recorded as an unrealized gain or loss. The Fund records a realized gain or loss equal to the difference between the value of the contract at the time it was opened and the value at the time it was closed when the contract matures or by delivery of the currency. The Fund could be exposed to risk if the value of the currency changes unfavorably, if the counterparties to the contracts are unable to meet the terms of their contracts or if the Fund is unable to enter into a closing position. Risk may exceed amounts recognized on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Forward currency contracts outstanding at January 31, 2020 are listed in the Fund’s Portfolio of Investments.
(J) Interest Rate Swap Contracts. The Fund may enter into interest rate swap contracts to hedge interest rate risk. An interest rate swap is an agreement between the Fund and a counterparty to exchange cash flows based on the difference between two interest rates, applied to a notional amount. Interest rate swap contracts are marked to market daily based upon quotations from an independent pricing service or market maker. Any change on an OTC interest rate swap is recorded as an unrealized gain or loss on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Daily fluctuations in the value of centrally cleared interest rate swaps are settled though a central clearing agent and are recorded in variation margin on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities and recorded as unrealized gain or loss. OTC and centrally cleared interest rate swap contracts outstanding at January 31, 2020, are listed in the Fund’s Portfolio of Investments.
(K) Credit Default Swap Contracts. The Fund may enter into credit default swap contracts primarily to manage and/or gain exposure to credit risk. A credit default swap is an agreement between the fund and a counterparty whereby the buyer of the contract receives credit protection and the seller of the contract guarantees the credit worthiness of a referenced debt obligation. These agreements may be privately negotiated in theover-the-counter market (“OTC credit default swaps”) or may be executed in a multilateral trade facility
90
DOMINI IMPACT BOND FUND
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS(continued)
January 31, 2020 (Unaudited)
platform, such as a registered exchange (“centrally cleared credit default swaps”). The underlying referenced debt obligation may be a single issuer of corporate or sovereign debt, a credit index, or a tranche of a credit index. In the event of a default of the underlying referenced debt obligation, the buyer is entitled to receive the notional amount of the credit default swap contract from the seller in exchange for the referenced debt obligation, a net settlement amount equal to the notional amount of the credit default swap less the recovery value of the referenced debt obligation, or other agreed upon amount. For centrally cleared credit default swaps, required initial margins are pledged by the fund, and the daily change in fair value is accounted for as a variation margin payable or receivable on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities. Over the term of the contract, the buyer pays the seller a periodic stream of payments, provided that no event of default has occurred. Such periodic payments are accrued daily as an unrealized appreciation or depreciation until the payments are made, at which time they are realized. Payments received or paid to initiate a credit default swap contract are reflected on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities and represent compensating factors between stated terms of the credit default swap agreement and prevailing market conditions (credit spreads and other relevant factors). These upfront payments are amortized over the term of the contract as a realized gain or loss on the Statements of Operations. OTC and centrally cleared credit default swap contracts outstanding at January 31, 2020 are listed in the Fund’s Portfolio of Investments.
(L) Master Agreements. The Fund is a party to ISDA (International Swaps and Derivatives Association, Inc.) Master Agreements that govern OTC derivative and foreign exchange contracts (Master Agreements) with certain counterparties entered into from time to time. The Master Agreements may contain provisions regarding, among other things, the parties’ general obligations, representations, agreements, collateral requirements, events of default and early termination. With respect to certain counterparties, in accordance with the terms of the Master Agreements, collateral posted to the Fund is held in a segregated account by the Fund’s custodian and with respect to those amounts which can be sold or repledged, are presented in the Fund’s portfolio. Collateral pledged by the Fund is segregated by the Fund’s custodian and identified in the Fund’s portfolio. Collateral can be in the form of cash or other marketable securities as agreed to by the Fund and the applicable counterparty. Collateral requirements are determined based on the Fund’s net position with each counterparty.
With respect to ISDA Master Agreements, termination events applicable to the counterparty include certain deteriorations in the credit quality of the
91
DOMINI IMPACT BOND FUND
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS(continued)
January 31, 2020 (Unaudited)
counterparty. Termination events applicable to the Fund include failure of the Fund to maintain certain net asset levels and/or limit the decline in net assets over various periods of time. In the event of default or early termination, the ISDA Master Agreement gives thenon-defaulting party the right to net andclose-out all transactions traded, whether or not arising under the ISDA agreement, to one net amount payable by one counterparty to the other. However, absent an event of default or early termination, OTC derivative assets and liabilities are presented gross and not offset in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities. Early termination by the counterparty may result in an immediate payment by the Fund of any net liability owed to that counterparty under the ISDA agreement.
In a centrally cleared swap, while the Fund enters into an agreement with a clearing broker to execute contracts with a counterparty, the performance of the swap is guaranteed by the central clearinghouse, which reduces the Fund’s exposure to counterparty risk. The Fund is still exposed to the counterparty risk through the clearing broker and clearinghouse. The clearinghouse attempts to minimize this risk to its participants through the use of mandatory margin requirements, daily cash settlements and other procedures. Likewise, the clearing broker reduces its risk through margin requirements and required segregation of customer balances.
(M) Investment Transactions, Investment Income, and Dividends to Shareholders. Investment transactions are accounted for on trade date. Realized gains and losses from security transactions are determined on the basis of identified cost. Interest income is recorded on an accrual basis. The Fund earns income daily, net of Fund expenses. Dividends to shareholders are usually declared daily and paid monthly from net investment income. Distributions to shareholders of realized capital gains, if any, are made annually. Distributions are determined in conformity with income tax regulations, which may differ from generally accepted accounting principles. Reclassifications have been made to the Fund’s components of net assets to reflect income and gains available for distribution (or available capital loss carryovers, as applicable) under income tax regulations.
(N) Federal Taxes. The Fund’s policy is to comply with the provisions of the Internal Revenue Code applicable to regulated investment companies and to distribute substantially all of its taxable income, including net realized gains, if any, within the prescribed time periods. Accordingly, no provision for federal income or excise tax is deemed necessary. As of January 31, 2020, tax years
92
DOMINI IMPACT BOND FUND
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS(continued)
January 31, 2020 (Unaudited)
2016 through 2019 remain subject to examination by the Fund’s major tax jurisdictions, which include the United States of America, the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, and New York State.
(O) Redemption Fees. Redemptions and exchanges of Fund shares held less than 30 days may be subject to the Fund’s redemption fee, which is 2% of the amount redeemed. The fee is imposed to offset transaction costs and other expenses associated with short-term investing. The fee may be waived in certain circumstances at the discretion of the Fund. Such fees are retained by the Fund and are recorded as an adjustment topaid-in capital.
(P) Other. Income, expenses (other than those attributable to a specific class), gains, and losses are allocated on a daily basis to each class of shares based upon the relative proportion of net assets represented by such class. Operating expenses directly attributable to a specific class are charged against the operations of that class.
(Q) Transfer Agent Credits. Per the arrangement with the Fund’s transfer agent, BNY Mellon Investment Servicing (U.S.) Inc., the Fund has arrangements whereby it may receive earnings credits when positive cash balances are maintained, which are used to offset transfer agent fees. For financial reporting purposes, the Fund includes earnings credits as an expense offset in the Statement of Operations. For the six months ended January 31, 2020, transfer agent fees of the Fund, under these arrangements, were reduced as follows:
| | | | |
Domini Impact Bond Fund Investor Shares | | $ | 251 | |
| |
Domini Impact Bond Fund Institutional Shares | | $ | 2 | |
(R) Indemnification. The Fund’s organizational documents provide current and former trustees and officers with a limited indemnification against liabilities arising in connection with the performance of their duties to the Fund. In the normal course of business, the Fund may also enter into contracts that provide general indemnifications. The Fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would be dependent on future claims that may be made against the Fund. The risk of material loss from such claims is considered remote.
2. TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES

7. FEDERAL TAX STATUS
The tax basis of the components of net assets at July 31, 2019, is as follows:

Capital losses, other losses and other temporary differences | | | (921,744) | |

DOMINI IMPACT BOND FUND
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS(continued)
January 31, 2020 (Unaudited)
During the period November 1, 2018 through July 31, 2019, the Domini Impact Bond Fund had net ordinary capital of $164,171. These losses are deferred and will be recognized on August 1, 2019, for tax purposes.
To the extent that the Fund realizes net capital gains in the future, those gains may be offset by any unused net capital loss carryforwards. The Fund is permitted to carry forward a net capital loss from any taxable year that began on or before December 22, 2010 for eight years following the year of the loss. The Fund is permitted to carry forward net capital losses incurred in taxable years beginning after December 22, 2010, for an unlimited time period. Carryforwards of losses from taxable years that began after December 22, 2010, along with any other capital losses deferred and treated as recognized in any such year, are required to be utilized prior to carryforwards of losses incurred in taxable years that began on or before December 22, 2010. As a result of this ordering rule, carryforwards of losses from taxable years that began on or before December 22, 2010 may be more likely to expire unused. Losses from taxable years that begin after December 22, 2010 that are carried forward will retain their character as either short-term or long-term capital losses. As of July 31, 2019, the Fund had short-term capital loss carryover of $174,847 and a long-term capital loss carryover of $612,428.
For federal income tax purposes, dividends paid were characterized as follows:
| | | | | | | | |
| | Year Ended July 31, | |
| | 2019 | | | 2018 | |
Ordinary income | | $ | 3,741,895 | | | $ | 3,664,538 | |
Long-term capital gain | | | - | | | | 90,020 | |
Return of capital | | | 278,159 | | | | - | |
| | | | | | | | |
Total | | $ | 4,020,054 | | | $ | 3,754,558 | |
| | | | | | | | |
The Fund is subject to the provisions of Accounting Standards Codification ASC 740 Income Taxes (ASC 740). ASC 740 sets forth a minimum threshold for financial statement recognition of the benefit of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. The Fund did not have a liability to record for any unrecognized tax benefits in the accompanying financial statements. No provision has been made for taxes on income, capital gains or unrealized appreciation on securities held or for excise tax on income and capital gains.

8. OTHER RISKS
The Fund’s risks include, but are not limited to, some or all of the risks discussed below:
Market Risk: The market values of securities or other assets will fluctuate, sometimes sharply and unpredictably, due to changes in general market conditions, overall economic trends or events, governmental actions or intervention, market disruptions caused by trade disputes or other factors, political developments, recessions, the spread of infectious illness or other public health issues, investor sentiment and other factors that may or may not be related to the issuer of the security or other asset. If the market values of the securities or other assets held by the Fund fall, including a complete loss on any individual security, the value of your investment will go down. Economies and financial markets throughout the world are increasingly interconnected. Economic, financial or political events, trading or tariff arrangements, terrorism, natural disasters and other circumstances in one country or region could have profound impacts on global economies or markets. As a result, whether or not the Fund invests in securities of issuers located in or with significant exposure to the countries directly affected, the value and liquidity of the Fund’s investments may be negatively affected
Recent Events Risk: The respiratory illness COVID-19 caused by a novel coronavirus has resulted in a global pandemic and major disruption to economies and markets around the world, including the United States. Financial markets have experienced extreme volatility and severe losses, and trading in many instruments has been disrupted. Liquidity for many instruments has been greatly reduced for periods of time. Some interest rates are very low and in some cases yields are negative. Some sectors of the economy and individual issuers have experienced particularly large losses. These circumstances may continue for an extended period of time, and may continue to affect adversely the value and liquidity of the Fund’s investments. The ultimate economic fallout from the pandemic, and the long-term impact on economies, markets, industries and individual issuers, are not known. Governments and central banks, including the Federal Reserve in the U.S., have taken extraordinary and unprecedented actions to support local and global economies and the financial markets. The impact of these measures, and whether they will be effective to mitigate the economic and market disruption, will not be known for some time.
Impact Investing Risk: The application of the adviser’s environmental and social standards and the timing of the subadviser’s implementation of such standards will affect the Fund’s exposure to certain issuers, industries, sectors,
101
DOMINI IMPACT BOND FUND
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS(continued)
January 31, 2020 (Unaudited)
regions, and countries and may impact the relative financial performance of the Fund — positively or negatively — depending on whether such investments are in or out of favor.
Style Risk: The value of your investment may decrease if the subadviser’s quantitative investment approach does not respond well to current market conditions or its judgment regarding the quality, value, or market trends affecting a particular security, industry, sector, or region is incorrect. The subadviser’s quantitative model relies upon a complex software system, and failure of the system to function or the presence of software errors could have an adverse impact on the value of Fund performance.
Information Risk: There is a risk that information used by the adviser to evaluate the environmental and social performance of issuers, industries, markets, sectors, and regions may not be readily available, complete, or accurate, which could negatively impact the adviser’s ability to apply its environmental and social standards, which may negatively impact Fund performance. This may also lead the Fund to avoid investment in certain issuers, industries, markets, sectors, or regions.
Interest Rate Risk: The value of your investment will fluctuate with changes in interest rates. If interest rates rise, the price of a fixed-income security declines and will generally reduce the value of the Fund’s share price. A rise in rates tends to have a greater impact on securities with longer maturities or higher durations. However, calculations of maturity and duration may be based on estimates and may not reliably predict a security’s price sensitivity to changes in interest rates. A general rise in interest rates could adversely affect the price and liquidity of fixed income securities and could also result in increased redemptions from the Fund.
