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 FTSE 3 Month 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 in bold.
Walden’s leadership in corporate engagement—company dialogues and filing shareholder resolutions to voting proxies—continues to foster meaningful progress on climate change, equality, and corporate governance. In this quarterly report, we present the results of 17 shareholder resolutions Walden filed for the 2019 proxy season. Separately, we summarize for the year our votes on management and shareholder proposals in the annual proxy statements of nearly 250 portfolio companies across investment strategies.
SHAREHOLDER RESOLUTION SUMMARY
The shareholder resolution is an essential shareholder right that we employ when engagement via dialogue is unproductive. Filing a resolution (or proposal) for a vote at company annual meetings enables the proponent to bring the collective voice of supportive stockholders to bear in management discussions on ESG performance. But filing a shareholder resolution is not in and of itself a measure of impact. To signify progress, we believe that resolutions must yield improvement in policies, practices, or public accountability. Moreover, our most successful shareholder resolutions are withdrawn based on negotiated agreements and do not appear in company proxy statements.
In 2019, Walden led or co-led 10 resolutions addressing climate change, equality, and governance, and co-filed 7 more resolutions led by other investors (see summary on page 2). 8 of the 17 resolutions were withdrawn with agreements. The average level of support for the 7 shareholder resolutions that went to a vote was 24%. The 2 remaining proposals are pending.
We highlight several examples of positive outcomes from our shareholder resolutions this season.
Emerson Electric and Climate Change
“During fiscal 2019, we have engaged outside environmental experts to help us evaluate the leading GHG reporting protocols, industry best practices and our current global operations to develop a long-term strategy with time specific goals to reduce greenhouse gas emissions from our operations. We will issue these goals and our action plan in September 2019. We realize this is a journey to be better stewards of the global environment, and our steps and actions are important.”
— Chairman’s Message, Emerson’s 2018 Corporate Responsibility Report, published June 2019
The passage above is public testimony of an agreement with Walden that led to the withdrawal of our 2019 resolution seeking the adoption of a greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions reduction goal. The resolution addressed our belief that companies benefit from robust management of the operational, physical, regulatory, and reputational risks associated with climate change. We commend Emerson’s commitment and progress in this multi-year engagement, which we expect to continue as the company’s plans unfold.
SEI Investments and Diversity & Inclusion
To address ongoing, systemic economic inequality faced by women and people of color, Walden asks companies to report publicly on their workforce composition. Specifically, a shareholder resolution we led at SEI Investments sought annual disclosure of job categories by gender and race to assure accountability with respect to the hiring and advancement of women and people of color into management and professional positions. We withdrew the resolution following SEI’s commitment to fulfill our request, including providing data in a framework defined by the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission.
47% of our shareholder resolutions this year were withdrawn based on negotiated agreements. Of those that went to a vote, average shareholder support was 24%.

| | | | | | |
| | Issue a report describing policies, performance, and improvement targets associated with key ESG risks and opportunities, including GHG reduction goals | | Charter Communications** | | 28% support*** |

| | Report on policies and procedures regarding direct, indirect, and grassroots lobbying; disclose payments used for lobbying and non-tax-exempt payments to trade associations and other entities to influence public policy | | AT&T Comcast * IBM JPMorgan Chase Oracle*
Walt Disney* UPS Verizon Communications* | | Agreement reached 18% support*** Agreement reached Agreement reached Pending November annual meeting 39% support 21% support*** Agreement reached |
| | | | | | |
| | Review and report on proxy voting policies and practices related to climate change | | Artisan Partners Asset Management | | Agreement reached |
* In order, these shareholder resolutions co-filed by Walden were led by: As You Sow, Trillium Asset Management, Zevin Asset Management, Friends Fiduciary, Zevin Asset Management, Boston Common Asset Management, Boston Common Asset Management.
** This proposal was co-led by Walden Asset Management with the Illinois State Treasurer’s Office and New York State Common Retirement Fund.
*** Voting support is understated because these companies have stock with unequal voting rights that lead to significant insider control of the proxy vote. According to analysis by the Council of Institutional Investors in 2018, shares with super-voting rights account for 61% of the votes at Alphabet, 50% at Charter Communications, 33% at Comcast, and 72% at UPS.
31
CorVel and LGBT Discrimination
We filed a resolution that requested a report on the risks associated with excluding sexual orientation and gender identity from its Equal Employment Opportunity (EEO) policy. CorVel challenged our resolution at the SEC. In the previous two years another company, Cato, had successfully challenged a similar resolution, stymieing our access to the ballot for a shareholder vote. With a reformulation of the resolution and stronger arguments to the SEC in its defense, we were pleased to prevail this year and receive SEC affirmation that LGBT equality continues to be a legitimate shareholder concern. The resolution is on the proxy ballot at CorVel’s annual meeting to be held in August.
Protecting Shareholder Resolutions
In our last quarterly report, we detailed our efforts to protect shareholders’ right to file resolutions as the SEC mulls what we consider to be deleterious revisions to the process. Our full-court press continues. In recent months Walden made the case that the current shareholder resolution process is effective and functioning well, through participation in a June SEC-hosted stakeholder meeting to review this proxy season; letters individually and as part of an investor coalition to members of the U.S. House Financial Services Committee; and an investor call we helped organize with the CEO and other senior leadership from the Business Roundtable, a leading advocate for substantial changes in the existing rules for filing resolutions. We expect this issue to be front-and-center in the coming months.
PROXY VOTING SUMMARY
The proxy votes we cast reflect our assessment of both financial and ESG risks and opportunities faced by portfolio companies. Moreover, the continuous cycle of company dialogues, filing shareholder resolutions, and voting proxies can be self-reinforcing as part of long-term company engagement.
For the year ended June 30, 2019, we voted against at least one management recommendation on the ballot at 60% of company annual meetings (see How We Voted below). With respect to management-sponsored ballot items only, 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 31% of US companies because women and people of color constituted less than 30% of their board of directors. However, we supported some companies that fell below this threshold based on productive engagement or meaningful progress.
Notably, 88% of the time we did not support management’s recommendation to vote against shareholder-sponsored proposals, which account for nearly all environmental and social issue proposals. Enhanced political spending and lobbying disclosure was the most frequent shareholder proposal this season.
A comprehensive report of the proxy votes for The Boston Trust & Walden Funds will be published on our website by the end of August.

Hypothetical Growth of a $100,000 Investment
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 FTSE 3 Month 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.

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.
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 of Trustees (“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.
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 NAV per share.

Notes to Financial Statements | June 30, 2019 |
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). Fixed income 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 quotations available, 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, 2019 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 an 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.
Distributions to Shareholders:
Distributions 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. The amounts of distributions 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.
Federal Income Taxes:
Each Fund qualifies and 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, 2019. The Funds recognize interest and penalties, if any, related to unrecognized tax benefits, as income tax expense in the Statements of Operations as incurred. There are no income tax noted as due for the six months ended June 30, 2019
Foreign Currency Transactions:
The accounting records of the Funds are maintained in U.S. dollars. Non-U.S. dollar 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 from 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. The Funds have adopted ASU 2017-08 on a modified retrospective basis as of January 1, 2019. The adoption of ASU 2017-08 did not have a significant impact on the amortized cost of investments as of January 1, 2019, and had no impact on beginning net assets, the current period results from operations, or any prior period information presented in the financial statements.

Under the CCO Agreement, Citi also provides infrastructure and support in implementing the written policies and procedures comprising the Trust’s 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, 2019, plus certain out of pocket expenses. Citi pays the salary and other compensation earned by the CCO as an employee of Citi.

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. Fees paid by the Funds under shareholder services agreements may not exceed 0.25% of the average daily net assets of each Fund and are presented separately on the Statement of Operations.

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 GAAP) 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 effective May 1, 2019, the Walden International Equity Fund to 1.10% of its average daily net assets. Prior to May 1, 2019, the contractual expense limitation for the Walden International Equity Fund was 1.15%. 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.

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, 2019 through June 30, 2019.
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) 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.
