Past performance does not guarantee future results. The performance data quoted represents past performance and current returns may be lower or higher. The investment return and principal value will fluctuate so that an investor’s shares, when redeemed may be worth more or less than the original cost. To obtain performance information current to the most recent month-end, please call 1-800-282-8782 ext. 7050.

The above chart represents a 10-year hypothetical $100,000 investment in the Boston Trust Asset Management Fund and includes the reinvestment of dividends and capital gains in the Fund. The returns shown on the table and the graph do not reflect the deduction of taxes a shareholder would pay on Fund distributions or the redemption of Fund shares.
The Boston Trust Asset Management Fund is measured against a combination of equity and fixed income indices. The Standard & Poor’s 500 Index (“S&P 500”), which is widely regarded as a gauge of the U.S. equities market, includes 500 leading companies in leading industries of the U.S. economy. Although the S&P 500 focuses on the large-cap segment of the market, with approximately 75% coverage of U.S. equities, it is also widely viewed as a proxy for the total market. The Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Government/Credit Bond Index includes Treasuries (i.e., public obligations of the U.S. Treasury that have remaining maturities of more than one year), government-related issues (e.g., agency, sovereign, supranational, and local authority debt), and USD Corporates. The Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Government/Credit Bond Index is a component of the Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Aggregate Index. The Citigroup 90-Day U.S. Treasury Bill Index reflects monthly return equivalents of yield averages that are not marked to the market. The index is an average of the last three-month treasury bill issues. The three-month treasury bills are the short-term debt obligations of the U.S. Government. The indices are unmanaged and their performance does not reflect the deduction of expenses associated with a mutual fund, such as investment management and fund accounting fees. The Fund’s performance reflects the deduction of fees for these services. Investors cannot invest directly in an average or an index.

Environmental, Social, and Governance Research and Engagement Update
(Unaudited)
Report reflects engagement activities of the Adviser including engagements on behalf of the Funds. Companies engaged on behalf of the Funds and their shareholders are highlighted.
The 2018 proxy season began inauspiciously for investors that file resolutions in company proxy statements for a shareholder vote at annual general meetings. Last November, the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) issued a Staff Legal Bulletin that appeared to make it easier for companies to prevail when they appeal to the SEC for permission to omit shareholder proposals from their proxy statements (known as “no-action” requests). While much of Walden’s impact through active ownership comes from constructive dialogues with companies over many years, sponsoring shareholder proposals remains an essential tool to influence corporate policies and practices. The good news is that thus far the SEC Bulletin appears to have been less consequential than we anticipated. But a different and unanticipated theme emerged over the season: numerous SEC decisions seemed to contradict established precedent that had favored shareholders, and “micromanagement” emerged as a main reason to omit shareholder proposals from proxy ballots on important issues such as climate change.
SHAREHOLDER RESOLUTION SUMMARY
Notwithstanding this difficult context, Walden had a successful proxy season. We withdrew a record number of our resolutions due to positive agreements reached with companies. In 2018, Walden led or co-led 21 resolutions on a variety of environmental, social, and governance (ESG) topics and co-filed 10 more resolutions led by other investors (see summary on page 31). Sixteen of the 31 resolutions were withdrawn with agreements. The average level of support for the eight shareholder resolutions that went to a vote was 25%. The two remaining proposals are pending. In a sign of the times, however, five of our proposals faced SEC no-action challenges or the threat of a no-action challenge leading us to withdraw them for tactical reasons.
Season Highlights
Our proposals at Discover Financial, Dollar General, Morningstar, and SunTrust Bank asking each to disclose publicly data that is already collected and reported annually to the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (the EEO-1 Report) were withdrawn based on agreements. Though none committed to disclose the full EEO-1 report detailing workforce composition by gender and race across job categories, all four companies agreed to improve the disclosure of workplace diversity programs and EEO metrics. Our proposal at American Express on the gender-wage gap, led by Arjuna Capital, was withdrawn when the company pledged to report on pay differentials between male and female employees by the end of 2018. The company also committed to make compensation adjustments in line with a goal of 100% gender pay equity.
A seventh-time proposal with ConocoPhillips urging improved disclosure on lobbying activities and trade association memberships was withdrawn after the company agreed to add more information on its lobbying activities to its website, including an annual list of trade associations to which ConocoPhillips paid more than $50,000. This experience underscores our belief that persistence over many years can lead to progress.
New Obstacles
We experienced more SEC challenges this year than ever before. For the second consecutive year, Cato issued a no-action challenge at the SEC regarding Walden’s proposal to strengthen the company’s non-discrimination policy to include sexual orientation and gender identity. Though we presented a strong case in support of the proposal, we were disappointed that the SEC again ruled in favor of the company. This led us to withdraw a similar proposal at CorVel, which planned to replicate Cato’s successful challenge. In our view the Cato decision represents a departure from the SEC’s established precedent on LGBT workplace equality resolutions. Comcast also pursued a no-action request concerning our resolution asking for energy efficiency and renewable energy goals. After a similar proposal at another company was challenged and omitted by the SEC, we withdrew the proposal.
Walden is not sitting still. We have partnered with other shareholder proponents and are communicating with the SEC to gain a better understanding of its no-action process and defend shareowners’ right to engage companies on ESG issues that we believe contribute to long-term value creation.
PROXY VOTING SUMMARY
Walden’s shareholder proposals are a small subset of the range of company-and shareholder-sponsored proposals presented in company proxy statements. Walden’s voting record on these proposals diverges significantly from management recommendations. Two-thirds of the time we voted against at least one management recommendation on the ballot. Moreover, we did not support management on 83% of shareholder-sponsored resolutions, which includes virtually all environmental and social issue proposals. Importantly, however, we do not always support shareholder proposals. We vote against shareholder proponents when we disagree with the content of the resolution or because we believe the company has strong ESG performance on the issue at hand.
With respect to company-sponsored ballot items, Walden’s voting policy on board diversity accounted for the most significant departure from management recommendations. We voted against directors serving on nominating committees at 34% of US companies because women and people of color constituted less than 30% of the board of directors. Walden will determine which of these companies to engage on board diversity.
Walden has long championed the significance of proxy voting in addressing ESG risks and opportunities. We are encouraging other large investment firms to take this responsibility as seriously. Why? Because strong shareholder support at the ballot box encourages corporate decision-makers to consider and implement more sustainable business policies and practices. Simply put, proxy voting matters.
AN INDUSTRY MILESTONE
We filed our 500th shareholder resolution this season. Since 1987, we’ve withdrawn more than 40% of our resolutions after companies committed to improve policies, practices, or transparency. In the current policy environment, in which this shareholder right is under threat, we are especially proud of our record demonstrating that resolutions contribute to positive corporate change.
The equities in bold-face in the above commentary were holdings of one or more of the Boston Trust & Walden Funds during the period.

The above chart represents a 10-year hypothetical $100,000 investment in the Walden Asset Management Fund and includes the reinvestment of dividends and capital gains in the Fund. The returns shown on the table and the graph do not reflect the deduction of taxes a shareholder would pay on Fund distributions or the redemption of Fund shares.
The Walden Asset Management Fund is measured against a combination of equity and fixed income indices. The Standard & Poor’s 500 Index (“S&P 500”) is widely regarded as a gauge of the U.S. equities market. This index includes 500 leading companies in leading industries of the U.S. economy. Although the S&P 500 focuses on the large cap segment of the market, with approximately 75% coverage of U.S. equities, it is also also widely viewed as a proxy for the total market. The Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Government/Credit Bond Index includes Treasuries (i.e., public obligations of the U.S. Treasury that have remaining maturities of more than one year), government-related issues (i.e., agency, sovereign, supranational, and local authority debt), and USD Corporates. The Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Government/Credit Bond Index is a component of the Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Aggregate Index. The Citigroup 90-Day U.S. Treasury Bill Index reflects monthly return equivalents of yield averages that are not marked to the market. The index is an average of the last three-month treasury bill issues. The three-month treasury bills are the short-term debt obligations of the U.S. Government. The indices are unmanaged and their performance does not reflect the deduction of expenses associated with a mutual fund, such as investment management and fund accounting fees. The Fund’s performance reflects the deduction of fees for these services. Investors cannot invest directly in an average or an index.

Notes to Financial Statements | June 30, 2018 |
1. Organization:
The Boston Trust & Walden Funds (the “Trust”) was organized on January 8, 1992 as a Massachusetts business trust and is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), as an open-end management investment company. The Trust contains the following funds (individually a “Fund”, collectively the “Funds”), each of which are registered as a diversified Fund under the 1940 Act:
Fund | | Short Name |
Boston Trust Asset Management Fund | | Asset Management Fund |
Boston Trust Equity Fund | | Equity Fund |
Boston Trust Midcap Fund | | Midcap Fund |
Boston Trust SMID Cap Fund | | SMID Cap Fund |
Boston Trust Small Cap Fund | | Small Cap Fund |
| | |
Walden Asset Management Fund | | Walden Asset Management Fund |
Walden Equity Fund | | Walden Equity Fund |
Walden Midcap Fund | | Walden Midcap Fund |
Walden SMID Cap Fund | | Walden SMID Cap Fund |
Walden Small Cap Fund | | Walden Small Cap Fund |
Walden International Equity Fund | | Walden International Equity Fund |
The investment objective of the Asset Management Fund and Walden Asset Management Fund is to seek long-term capital growth and income through an actively managed portfolio of stocks, bonds and money market instruments. The investment objective of the Equity Fund and Walden Equity Fund is to seek long-term capital growth through an actively managed portfolio of stocks. The investment objective of the Midcap Fund and Walden Midcap Fund is to seek long-term capital growth through an actively managed portfolio of stocks of middle capitalization companies. The investment objective of the SMID Cap Fund and Walden SMID Cap Fund is to seek long-term capital growth through an actively managed portfolio of stocks of small to middle capitalization companies. The investment objective of the Small Cap Fund and Walden Small Cap Fund is to seek long-term capital growth through an actively managed portfolio of stocks of small capitalization companies. The investment objective of the Walden International Equity Fund is to seek long-term capital growth through an actively managed portfolio of equities of international companies.
Under the Trust’s organizational documents, its officers and trustees are indemnified against certain liabilities arising out of the performance of their duties to the Trust. In addition, in the normal course of business, the Trust may enter into contracts with its vendors and others that provide for general indemnifications. Each Fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown, as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Funds. However, based on experience, the Funds expect risk of loss to be remote.
2. Significant Accounting Policies:
The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by the Funds in the preparation of their financial statements. The policies are in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”).
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of increases and decreases in net assets from operations during the reporting period. Actual results may differ from those estimates.
The Funds are investment companies and accordingly follow the investment company accounting and reporting guidance of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standards Codification Topic 946 Financial Services - Investment Companies and ASU 2013-08.
Security Valuation:
The Funds record their investments at fair value. Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The valuation techniques used to determine fair value are further described below.
The value of each equity security, including common stocks, is based either on the last sale price on a national securities exchange, or in the absence of recorded sales, at the closing bid prices on such exchanges, or at the quoted bid price in the over-the-counter market. Equity securities traded on the NASDAQ stock market are valued at the NASDAQ official closing price. The prices for foreign securities are reported in local currency and converted to U.S dollars using currency exchange rates. Prices for most securities held in the Funds are provided daily by a recognized independent pricing service.
Bonds and other fixed income securities (other than short-term obligations but including listed issues) are provided by an independent pricing service, the use of which has been approved by the Board. In making such valuations, the pricing service utilizes both dealer-supplied valuations and electronic data processing techniques that take into account appropriate factors such as institutional-size trading in similar groups of securities, yield, quality, coupon rate, maturity, type of issue, and trading characteristics other than market data and without exclusive reliance upon quoted prices or exchanges or over-the-counter prices, since such valuations are believed to reflect more accurately the fair value of such securities. All debt portfolio securities with a remaining maturity of 60 days or less may be valued at amortized cost, which approximates fair value. Under the amortized cost method, discount or premium, if any, is accreted or amortized, respectively, on a constant (straight-line) basis to the maturity of the security.
The Trust may use a pricing service to value certain portfolio securities where the prices provided are believed to reflect the fair value of such securities. If market prices are not readily available or, in the opinion of the Adviser, market prices do not reflect fair value, or if an event occurs after the close of trading on the exchange or market on which the security is principally traded (but prior to the time the NAV is calculated) that materially affects fair value, the Adviser will value the Funds’ assets at their fair value according to policies approved by the Board. The Adviser believes that foreign security values may be affected by volatility that occurs in global markets on a trading day after the close of any given foreign securities markets. The fair valuation procedures, therefore, include a procedure whereby foreign security prices may be “fair valued” by an independent pricing service through the use of factors which take such volatility into account.
Investments in investment companies and money market funds are valued at net asset value per share.

Fair Value Measurements:
The valuation techniques employed by the Funds, as described above in Security Valuation, maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs in determining fair value. The inputs used for valuing the Funds’ investments are summarized in the three broad levels listed below:
Level 1 — quoted prices in active markets for identical assets
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)
The inputs or methodology used to value investments are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those investments.
Pursuant to the valuation techniques described above in Security Valuation, equity securities are generally categorized as Level 1 securities in the fair value hierarchy (unless there is a fair valuation event, in which case affected securities are generally categorized as Level 2 securities). Debt securities, including those with a remaining maturity of 60 days or less, are generally categorized as Level 2 securities in the fair value hierarchy. Open-ended investment companies and money market funds are generally categorized as Level 1 securities in the fair value hierarchy.
Investments for which there are no such quotations, or for which quotations do not appear reliable, are valued at fair value as determined in good faith by the Adviser under the direction of the Board. These valuations are typically categorized as Level 2 or Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy.
The following is a summary of the valuation inputs used as of June 30, 2018 in valuing the Funds’ investments based on the three levels defined above:

Investment Transactions and Related Income:
Investment transactions are accounted for no later than one business day after trade date. However, for financial reporting purposes, investment transactions are accounted for on trade date. Investment gains and losses are calculated on the identified cost basis. Interest income is recognized on the accrual basis and includes, where applicable, the amortization or accretion of premium or discount based on effective yield. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date except in the case of certain foreign securities, in which case dividends are recorded as soon as such information becomes available.
Real Estate Investment Trusts:
The Funds may own shares of real estate investment trusts (“REITs”), which report information on the source of their distribution annually. Certain distributions received from REITs during the year, which are known to be return of capital, are recorded as a reduction to the cost of the individual REIT.
Expenses:
Expenses directly attributable to a Fund are charged directly to that Fund. Expenses relating to the Trust are allocated proportionately to each Fund within the Trust according to the relative net assets of each Fund or on another reasonable basis.
Dividends to Shareholders:
Dividends to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Dividends to shareholders from net investment income, if any, are declared and paid annually by the Funds. Dividends to shareholders from net realized gains, if any, are declared and distributed at least annually by the Funds.
Federal Income Taxes:
Each Fund intends to continue to qualify as a regulated investment company by complying with the provisions available to certain investment companies, as defined in Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code, and to make distributions from net investment income and from net realized capital gains sufficient to relieve it from all, or substantially all, federal income and excise taxes. Therefore, no federal income tax provision is required.
Management has reviewed tax positions taken in tax years that remain subject to examination by all major tax jurisdictions, including Federal (i.e., the last four tax year ends and the interim tax period since then, as applicable) and believes that there is no tax liability resulting from unrecognized tax benefits related to uncertain tax positions taken as of and during the six months ended June 30, 2018. The Funds recognize interest and penalties, if any, related to unrecognized tax benefits, as income tax expense in the Statement of Operations as incurred.
Foreign Currency Transactions:
The accounting records of the Funds are maintained in U.S. dollars denominated amounts are translated into U.S. dollars as follows, with the resultant exchange gains and losses recorded in the Statements of Operations:
i) value of investment securities and other assets and liabilities at the exchange rate on the valuation date; and
ii) purchases and sales of Investment securities and income and expenses at the exchange rate prevailing on the respective date of such transactions.
The Funds do not isolate realized and unrealized gains and losses attributable to changes in the exchange rates from gains and losses that arise from changes in the value of investments. Such fluctuations are included with net realized and unrealized gain or loss on investments.
Investment income from non-U.S. sources received by a Fund is generally subject to non-U.S. withholding taxes at rates ranging up to 30%. Such withholding taxes may be reduced or eliminated under the terms of applicable U.S. income tax treaties. The Funds may be subject to foreign taxes on gains in investments or currency repatriation. The Funds accrue such taxes, as applicable, based on their current interpretation of tax rules in the foreign markets in which they invest.

New Accounting Pronouncements:
In March 2017, FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2017-08 “Premium Amortization on Purchased Callable Debt Securities” (“ASU 2017-08”), which shortens the premium amortization period for purchased non-contingently callable debt securities. ASU 2017-08 specifies that the premium amortization period ends at the earliest call date, for purchased non-contingently callable debt securities. ASU 2017-08 is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2018. Management is currently evaluating the implications of ASU 2017-08 and its impact on the financial statements and related disclosures has not yet been determined.

Administration and Fund Accounting:
Citi Fund Services Ohio, Inc. (“Citi”) serves the Funds as administrator. Citi provides administrative and fund accounting services for a fee that is computed daily and paid monthly, based on the aggregate daily net assets of the Trust plus certain base fees.
Certain officers of the Trust are affiliated with Citi. Such persons were paid no fees directly by the Funds for serving as Officers of the Trust. Citi makes an employee available to serve as the Funds’ Chief Compliance Officer (“CCO”) under a Compliance Service Agreement between the Funds and Citi (the “CCO Agreement”). Under the CCO Agreement, Citi also provides infrastructure and support in implementing the written policies and procedures comprising the Funds’ compliance program, including support services to the CCO. For the services provided under the CCO Agreement, the Funds paid Citi $75,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2018, plus certain out of pocket expenses. Citi pays the salary and other compensation earned by the CCO as an employee of Citi.
Distribution:
Foreside Financial Services, LLC (“Foreside”), which is not affiliated with Citi or the Adviser, serves as the Funds’ distribution agent. Prior to a name change effective February 28, 2018, Foreside operated as BHIL Distributors, LLC. Fees for these services are paid monthly by the Adviser and not by the Funds.
Shareholder Services:
The Funds may enter into shareholder services agreements with investment advisers, banks, trust companies and other types of organizations (“Authorized Service Providers”), which may include affiliates of the Funds, for providing administrative services with respect to shares of the Funds attributable to or held in the name of the Authorized Service Provider for its clients or other parties with whom they have a servicing relationship. Affiliates of the Funds did not receive any fees during the six months ended June 30, 2018.
Custodian and Transfer Agency:
Boston Trust & Investment Management Company (“Boston Trust”), the parent company of the Adviser, acts as the Funds transfer agent. Under the transfer agency agreement, Boston Trust receives a fixed fee of $18,000 annually per fund, accrued daily and paid monthly for its services. Under a sub-transfer agency agreement, FIS Investor Services, LLC receives a fixed annual fee accrued daily and paid monthly, plus annual per account fees and certain out of pocket expenses for its services to the Trust. Expenses incurred under the transfer agency agreement and sub-transfer agency agreement are presented collectively as “Transfer Agency” expenses on the Statement of Operations.
Boston Trust acts as the Funds’ custodian, with the exception of the Walden International Equity Fund. Under the custody agreement, Boston Trust receives an annual asset based fee of 0.014% of the value of securities held. Citibank, N.A. receives sub-custodian fees from Boston Trust for each Fund except the Walden International Equity Fund. Under a separate custody agreement, Citibank, N.A., an affiliate of Citi, serves as custodian for the Walden International Equity Fund and receives a fee based on a percentage of assets held on behalf of the Walden International Equity Fund, transaction fees and certain out of pocket expenses for its services. Such percentages vary by the jurisdiction in which the assets are held.
Fee Reductions:
The Adviser has agreed to reduce its fees payable by the Funds to the extent necessary, exclusive of brokerage costs, interest, taxes, dividends, litigation, indemnification, expenses associated with the investments in underlying investment companies and extraordinary expenses (as determined under generally accepted accounting principles) of each Fund, except the SMID Cap Fund and the Walden International Equity Fund, to 1.00% of the average daily net assets. The Adviser has agreed to reduce its fees payable by the SMID Cap Fund and the Walden International Equity Fund to the extent necessary, subject to certain exclusions, to limit the aggregate annual operating expenses of the SMID Cap Fund to 0.75% of its average daily net assets and the Walden International Equity Fund to 1.15% of its average daily net assets. Any such reductions made by the Adviser in its fees or in the payment or reimbursement of expenses that are a Fund’s obligation may be subject to repayment by the Fund within three years provided the Fund receiving the reduction, payment or reimbursement is able to effect such repayment and remain in compliance with applicable expense limitations. The expense limitation agreement shall automatically renew effective May 1 of every year until the Adviser provides written notice of non-renewal to the Trust.

(2) The differences between book-basis and tax-basis unrealized appreciation (depreciation) is attributable primarily to tax deferral of losses on wash sales.
As of the end of its tax year ended December 31, 2017, the Fund has a net capital loss carry forwards (“CLCFs”) not subject to expiration as summarized in the tables below. The Board does not intend to authorize a distribution of any realized gain for the Fund until any applicable CLCF has been offset or expires.
Fund | | Short Term | | Long Term | | Total | |
Walden International Equity Fund | | $ | 4,202 | | $ | 216,417 | | $ | 220,619 | |
| | | | | | | | | | |
During the year ended December 31, 2017, the following Funds utilized capital loss carryforwards to offset realized capital gains:
Fund | | Amount | |
Walden International Equity Fund | | $ | 58,201 | |
| | | | |
Under current tax law, net investment losses and capital losses realized after October 31 of a Fund’s fiscal year may be deferred and treated as occurring on the first business day of the following fiscal year for tax purposes. The following Funds deferred losses as follows:

The amounts of dividends to shareholders from net investment income and of distributions from net realized gains are determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP. These “book/tax” differences are either considered temporary or permanent in nature. To the extent these differences are permanent in nature (e.g. return of capital, net operating loss, reclassification of certain market discounts, gain/ loss on paydowns, and distribution), such amounts are reclassified within the composition of net assets based on their federal tax-basis treatment: temporary differences (e.g. wash sales and post October losses) do not require reclassification. To the extent dividends to shareholders exceed net investment income and net realized gains for tax purposes, they are reported as distributions of capital.

Supplementary Information (Unaudited) | June 30, 2018 |
Table of Shareholder Expenses:
As a shareholder of the Trust, you incur ongoing costs, including management fees, and other Fund expenses. These examples are intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Boston Trust & Walden Funds and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.
These examples are based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period from January 1, 2018 through June 30, 2018.
Actual Expenses
The table below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information below together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. 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 in the table under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid during Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.
Please note that the expenses shown in the tables are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect the costs incurred by the Funds for buying and selling securities. The Funds do not charge transaction fees, such as redemption fees, nor do the Funds charge a sales charge (load). Therefore, the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds.
| | | | | | | | Annualized | |
| | Beginning | | Ending | | Expenses Paid | | Expense Ratio | |
| | Account Value | | Account Value | | During Period(1) | | During Period | |
| | 1/1/18 | | 6/30/18 | | 1/1/18 - 6/30/18 | | 1/1/18 - 6/30/18 | |

Walden International Equity Fund | | 1,000.00 | | 995.50 | | 5.69 | | 1.15 | % |
| | | | | | | | | | | | |
(1) Expenses are equal to the Fund’s annualized expense ratio multiplied by the average account value over the period multiplied by 181/365 (to reflect the one-half year period).
Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes
The table below 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 the 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 this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of other funds.
Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect the costs incurred by the Funds for buying and selling securities. The Funds do not charge transaction fees, such as redemption fees, nor do the Funds charge a sales charge (load). Therefore, the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds.
