Economic and Market Summary (Unaudited) |  |
Domenic Colasacco, CFA
Portfolio Manager and President
Boston Trust Investment Management, Inc.
Stock prices, over longer time-periods, reflect economic conditions generally and trends in corporate profits in particular. Shorter-term price movements, however, are driven most often by the perceived impact that political and business related events will have on longer-term economic health. Through the first few months of 2011, investors had to assess a series of political revolutions in the Middle East and the devastating earthquake in Japan. Neither of these has yet to be fully resolved. In the Middle East, revolutions could spread and threaten additional key oil producing regions; while in Japan the full extent of radiation damage—particularly its impact on the world’s third largest economy—remains subject to conflicting reports and opinions.
Initially, investors reacted negatively to both news reports, depressing equity markets around the globe. In the United States, the S&P 500 Index1 fell by roughly 7% during the latter weeks of February and the first part of March. By quarter end, though, nearly all of the price declines had been recouped. Indeed, the S&P 500 ended the first quarter of 2011 roughly 15% above levels of a year ago and about 30% higher than the market lows reached last summer. At least for the moment, investors have concluded that neither the turmoil in the Middle East nor the catastrophe in Japan is likely to pose a meaningful threat to the gradual, yet widespread, business recovery that is underway in most developed and emerging economies. Yet, for prices to continue upward, we believe it is imperative that key economic metrics such as employment, total income, capital spending and corporate profits continue to improve.
Our Economic Outlook
We expect 2011 to be another year of modest growth in Gross Domestic Product2, with comparatively low reported inflation and further gains in corporate profits. Stock prices tend to rise in such an environment far more often than not. While most of the headline news in recent months was ominous, nearly all of the key economic reports have been at the better end of expectations, in particular the key employment statistics. Our economy added roughly 600,000 new private sector jobs in the first quarter of 2011, the best period since the financial crisis began. Recent gains were sufficient to bring the unemployment rate below 9% for the first time in nearly two years.
Paradoxically, despite all the political rhetoric, the divergent views of Democrats and Republicans led to a more stimulative budget for this fiscal year than we were likely to receive exclusively from either side. Democrats held firm for more spending, while Republicans demanded lower taxes. The creative, breakthrough compromise for the fiscal 2011 budget was to do both.
Lower taxes with more government spending, however, is not a sustainable option. At some point, our trade and budget deficits need to be reduced, as must those in other developed economies. In managing the Fund, we will seek to balance such longer-term domestic and global economic challenges with what still currently remains an equity friendly investment environment.

Investment Concerns | |
| Equity securities (stocks) are more volatile and carry more risk and return potential than other forms of investments, including investments in high-grade fixed income securities.
Bonds offer a relatively stable level of income, although bond prices will fluctuate, providing the potential for principal gain or loss. Intermediate-term, higher quality bonds generally offer less risk than longer-term bonds and a lower rate of return.
Cash equivalents offer low risk and low return potential. | |

Manager Commentary (Unaudited)
Management Discussion of Fund Performance
Portfolio Review
The Boston Trust Balanced Fund was well positioned to participate in the favorable stock market trend over the past twelve months. Our constructive views about the sustainability of the current economic recovery—despite the frequent ominous headlines—led us to retain the Fund’s equity allocation near 70% for most of the past year. While the Fund’s performance benefited from the above average equity exposure (the usual range is 45% to 75%), the Fund’s performance modestly trailed its Morningstar peer group average for the 12-month period. We are pleased that during this period of sharply rising markets the Fund’s emphasis on high quality, lower risk equity investments did not significantly constrain results. In contrast, the Fund’s bond segment performance fell short of the Barclays Capital U.S. Government/Credit Bond Index as longer maturity, and lower credit quality issues led the market higher. Given today’s low starting yields, we believe total returns for the fixed income segment in the year ahead are likely to be modest, and that the risks of extending maturities or increasing credit risk are substantial. We therefore have focused our efforts to achieve attractive total returns on the equity segment. As outlined on the performance chart on page 5, however, the Fund’s long term results remain attractive.
The Boston Trust Equity Fund returned 15.48% for 12-month period ended March 31, 2011 compared to the 15.65% for the S&P 500 Index. The very modest underperformance of the Fund resulted from the comparison to an unmanaged benchmark that reflects no deduction for fees and expenses; the Funds’ expense ratio is 1%. We are pleased to report strong, absolute returns during a period when more volatile, riskier stocks such as those of commodities and energy companies were in favor. As is the case with the Balanced Fund, performance is above average for longer term periods that include a complete market and economic cycle.
Our Investment Strategy
In our view, stocks remain fairly priced by past standards, and are attractive compared to the low yields available in both money market instruments and bonds. Unless there is a significant change in the economic trend or a sharp rise in prices, we expect to keep the Balanced Fund’s equity exposure at the upper end of the range in the months ahead. We believe equity values will continue to be supported by a combination of the ample corporate cash flow and the continued profit growth we anticipate for the remainder of 2011 and into 2012.*
Within the Balanced Fund’s equity segment, and in the Boston Trust Equity Fund, we have emphasized stocks of companies that we believe will benefit comparatively from the broad global economic recovery that is underway. These include stocks in the industrial, energy, and financial industries. We also continued to emphasize stocks of higher quality companies. In our view higher quality stocks are not likely to decline as much as stocks generally if the pace of economic recovery decelerates unexpectedly. We also believe they remain attractively priced compared to equity securities of most risky, less proven companies.*
Our investment position within the fixed income segment is also unchanged; the Boston Trust Balanced Fund continues to prefer investment-grade issues with comparatively short maturities. From a total return perspective, the incremental yield available in longer-maturity or higher credit risk bonds is insufficient in our view to compensate for the potential loss in principal value if interest rates rise or credit conditions deteriorate.*

Hypothetical Growth of a $10,000 Investment

The top chart represents historical 10-year performance of a hypothetical investment of $10,000 in the Boston Trust Balanced Fund. The bottom chart represents historical performance of a hypothetical investment of $10,000 in the Boston Trust Equity Fund from October 1, 2003 to March 31, 2011. Both charts represent the reinvestment of dividends and capital gains in the Fund. The returns shown on the table and graphs do not reflect the deduction of taxes a shareholder would pay on Fund distributions or the redemption of Fund shares.
The Boston Trust Balanced Fund is measured against a combination of equity and fixed income indices. The Boston Trust Equity Fund is measured against the Standard & Poor’s 500 Index (“S&P 500”) which 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 widely viewed as a proxy for the total market. The Barclays Capital U.S. Government/Credit Bond Index is a component of the Barclays U.S. Aggregate Index. The Barclays Capital 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 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 Morningstar U.S. Open-End Moderate Allocation Funds Average represents performance of portfolios that seek to provide both capital appreciation and income by investing in three major areas: stocks, bonds, and cash. These portfolios tend to hold larger positions in stocks than conservative-allocation portfolios. These portfolios typically have 50% to 70% of assets in equities and the remainder in fixed income and cash. 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 index.

Manager Commentary (Unaudited)
Management Discussion of Fund Performance
Portfolio Review
The Boston Trust Midcap Fund posted a return of 29.32% for the year ended March 31, 2011. Although performance among sectors was broad-based and generally quite good, the Fund achieved particularly strong results within its more economically-sensitive industries, such as the industrial products & services, information technology, and consumer discretionary sectors. Security selection within the information technology sector also contributed significantly to performance as several of the Fund’s larger positions within this sector appreciated sharply during this period. Additionally, energy stocks benefited from the sharp increase in oil prices. Fund holdings within the more defensive, less economically-sensitive sectors, such as utilities and telecommunications, generally performed poorly relative to the broader market.
During the most recent quarter, two distinct and visible trends proved a headwind to the Fund: 1) investors’ appetite for risk was evident by the strong performance of stocks with high betas1 (i.e. volatility); and 2) the stocks of companies with significant leverage to commodity prices, especially within the energy and materials sectors, performed very well. With the exception of the brief period in which stocks came under selling pressure—primarily related to the Libyan uprising and the Japanese tsunami—investors rewarded the riskier stocks in the market. The Fund, which contains high-quality companies that favor steady and predictable earnings, did not benefit from these trends. Partially offsetting this headwind was our sector allocation decisions, which had a modestly positive impact. Although our portfolios are well-diversified with representation across all sectors, our modest overweight in healthcare and our underweight in financials provided positive contributions.*
Portfolio Strategy:
Equities have rebounded substantially from the market bottom reached approximately two years ago, yet we believe that further gains are likely if corporate earnings and healthy free cash flows materialize as expected. Should these gains continue we believe that our high quality investment discipline is well positioned to reap these benefits. Providing some level of support to equity prices is the substantial cash balances and financial strength of our companies. Measures of balance sheet strength look remarkably robust and bode well for future capital growth, rising acquisition activity, and greater shareholder returns.*
The Fund remains well-diversified with an emphasis on multi-national companies with significant growth opportunities in developing regions of the world (e.g. technology and industrial product companies). This tilt toward economically-sensitive global industries and companies has provided positive benefits over the last 18 months; yet, we continue to assess the risk and reward potential of each Fund holding. If an external event disrupts the favorable trends that we anticipate, we believe the quality of our selections may, as in the past, provide a measure of protection.

Management Discussion of Fund Performance
Portfolio Review
The Boston Trust Small Cap Fund, which focuses on higher quality, innovative companies, rose 25.78% for the year ended March 31, 2011, in-line with the robust performance of the Russell 2000® Index. For the trailing three-year, five-year, and ten-year periods ended March 31, 2011, the Fund outperformed the benchmark with less volatility.
Contributors and Detractors to Performance
Overall, the Fund participated, albeit not fully, in the strong market rise of most quarters this fiscal year, while avoiding some of the downturn last spring. This performance pattern is consistent, in our view, with the Fund’s focus on higher quality, innovative companies. Generally speaking, higher quality firms underperform in a period of sharply rising stock prices. And, by certain measures of financial quality, such as returns on capital, and the stability of profitability, it appears that higher quality small cap firms did modestly underperform the small cap market during the past year, especially during the summer months. The Fund’s higher quality profile benefited from the market’s volatility this past year, in our view, while the acquisition of four Fund holdings in late 2010 also contributed positively. As noted previously, we aim to maintain Fund sector weights comparable to those of the overall market. Thus, our sector composition generally has no significant impact on overall performance.*
The best-performing Fund holdings through the full year period were CARBO Ceramics, Inc. (CRR), which represented 3.13% of the Fund at March 31, 2011, Hain Celestial Group, Inc. (HAIN)(0.61%), Lindsay Manufacturing Co. (LNN)(1.23%), and Under Armour, Inc. (UA)(1.71%). Conversely, the Fund laggards for the full year period were eHealth, Inc. (EHTH)(0.88%), Itron, Inc. (ITRI)(0.30%), Net 1 UEPS Technologies, Inc. (UEPS)(0.46%), and NutriSystem, Inc. (NTRI)(0.32%).*
Changes in Fund Positions
We sold the entire position of 17 small-cap stocks during the year. Five firms, including Lululemon Athletica (LULU), grew over Boston Trust’s upper market cap threshold. Four firms, including Baldor Electric (BEZ), were acquired. We sold 8 firms from the Fund due to concerns about the sustainability of future profitability or deteriorating fundamentals. These included Pre-Paid Legal Services (PPD) and Timberland (TBL).*
Conversely, we established new positions in 27 higher quality, innovative small cap company stocks during the fiscal year. Examples include East West Bancorp, Inc. (EWBC) (1.58%), Hub Group, Inc. (HUBG)(0.48%), InterDigital, Inc. (IDCC)(1.06%), NIC, Inc. (EGOV)(0.64%), and OYO Geospace Corp. (OYOG)(0.49%).
Fund Manager Outlook
With a trailing Price-to-Earnings1 ratio of 39x at March 31, 2011, the valuation of the Russell 2000® implies a continued, strong recovery in small cap company earnings. The market may have an overly optimistic outlook for small cap firms overall, and a shortfall in sales and earnings may prove disappointing. However, if the economy continues to improve, and small cap stocks live up to market expectations for growth, then these stocks may continue to perform well. In either case, we continue to believe that our focus on innovative, higher quality, more reasonably valued stocks leveraged to more sustainable elements of economic growth, may continue to provide value to clients’ overall portfolios over time.

Environmental, Social and Governance Research and Action Update (Unaudited) | |  |
Shareholder resolutions are front and center during the spring season of company annual meetings. Engaged investors eagerly await voting results that signal the strength of shareholder support for environmental, social or corporate governance (ESG) related ballot initiatives they champion. Headlines are made when shareholder resolutions garner majority support or exceed expectations.
Less visible are the shareholder resolutions that never appear on company proxy statements because management and investors have negotiated withdrawals. Yet these quiet dialogues are more often than not the avenue for meaningful progress on ESG goals. With two recent company agreements, Walden has now withdrawn 60 percent (11 of 18) of the resolutions we led (or co-led) for 2011 annual meetings.
Walden withdrew our resolution at Target requesting a comprehensive Board review of political contributions, including criteria for donations to candidates and procedures to assess associated risks. Target had unleashed nationwide controversy in 2010 for its contributions to MN Forward, a political group working to elect a gubernatorial candidate known for his opposition to lesbian and gay civil rights. In January, Target’s Board completed a review of policies, oversight and reporting on political spending, and adopted a new policy that is posted on its website. Though the policy does not prohibit spending in future elections, new checks and balances assure greater due diligence and sensitivity to potential risks.
St. Jude Medical’s commitment to produce an inaugural Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) report, based on input from internal and external stakeholders including Walden, led us to withdraw our resolution seeking comprehensive ESG disclosure. While the CSR report will not meet best practice GRI (Global Reporting Initiative) standards, it will be informed by GRI guidelines and more detailed reporting is expected to be developed over time as the company seeks “continuous improvement.” We commend St. Jude Medical for placing an announcement in its proxy informing shareholders of the CSR report and Walden’s withdrawal. In another sign of responsiveness to shareholders, St. Jude Medical did not include a “statement of opposition” on a client-led resolution requesting annual election of directors in lieu of three year terms. Instead, the company asked to hear from shareholders without biasing the results.
Our first voting result in 2011 is in—just over one-third of votes cast supported our ESG reporting resolution at Emerson Electric. To date our interactions have focused on the environmental and energy efficiency benefits of many of its products, but Emerson has not been convinced of the value of comprehensive ESG disclosure. We hope to leverage this relatively strong investor backing in ongoing discussions with the company.
Continuing Focus: Chamber Board Membership
Our last update described multiple strategies Walden is pursuing to challenge companies’ use of firm resources to enable the U.S. Chamber of Commerce (the Chamber) to advance positions that appear to contradict their own policies and actions on issues such as climate change. A case in point is the Chamber’s lawsuit against the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) in which it challenges the basis of EPA’s power to regulate greenhouse gases. Focusing on companies with Board representation on the Chamber, Walden is leading dialogues, an investor open letter and shareholder resolutions on this topic.
We have also begun utilizing an investor tool that is new to us, raising resolutions from the “floor” of annual meetings. Floor resolutions cannot be expected to garner significant shareholder support compared to traditional proxy resolutions, but they allow for a direct exploration of an issue while also providing a public record of the action. This strategy is prompting serious discussions about political spending policies and Chamber Board membership at a number of companies, including where Walden is leading the effort at 3M, ConocoPhillips, JPMorgan Chase and Pfizer. The floor resolution at Pfizer was withdrawn when the company adopted a new policy prohibiting the use of company funds for any political campaigns and placed a senior environmental executive on the Chamber’s environmental committee to strengthen representation of its positions.
Meanwhile James Rogers, CEO of Duke Energy, was most responsive to the investor open letter encouraging a review of
Environmental, Social and Governance Research and Action Update (Unaudited) (continued)
involvement in the Chamber. The company is reviewing formally its policy to determine the appropriate path—engagement or withdrawal—including whether “constructive engagement can bring the organization’s policy positions into better alignment with those of Duke Energy.”
Other Recent and Emerging Initiatives
In January Walden co-led a group of 39 institutional investors representing over $800 billion in assets calling for companies to support an annual advisory vote on executive compensation in their spring proxy statements and for investors to vote for annual “Say on Pay.” The Dodd-Frank reform bill called for mandatory Say on Pay, along with a vote on the frequency these should occur every one, two or three years. As of early April, annual votes are the clear favorite at over three-quarters of companies voted. Four companies failed to receive majority support for the advisory vote, including Hewlett-Packard.
We are co-leading a collaboration of Principles for Responsible Investment (PRI) and CDP Water Disclosure, a project of Climate Disclosure Project (CDP) that began last year, to encourage a response from companies with high exposure to water-related risks that did not complete its questionnaire on water management and conservation policies, practices and goals. The initial response rate among companies was impressive, with 50 percent of 302 companies completing the questionnaire.
Walden is concerned about growing challenges to limit EPA’s authority to regulate greenhouse gases, particularly in light of diminished hopes for passage of a sound climate change policy in the U.S. Congress. Walden joined 44 investors with over $500 billion in assets urging House and Senate leaders to allow the EPA to press ahead with greenhouse gas regulations and to oppose constraints on EPA’s authority to do so. We were relieved, at least temporarily, to see the EPA rider removed from recent contentious budget negotiations.
Immigration Reform: An Emerging Investor Concern
While calls for civility in public discourse may be cliché, the very uncivil tone of discussions on U.S. immigration policy has helped push immigration reform into a political dead zone. Yet a sound U.S. immigration policy—one that includes a pathway for currently unauthorized immigrants to earn legal status—is a business and human rights imperative. That’s why Walden is co-leading an investor initiative, representing approximately $145 billion in assets, to encourage business leaders to speak out for comprehensive immigration reform.
The historic and ongoing importance of immigrants in creating a prosperous U.S. economy is well documented. In March, for example, the annual Kauffman Index of Entrepreneurial Activity, a leading indicator of new business creation in the U.S., concluded: “A growing immigrant population and rising entrepreneurship rate contributed to a rise in the share of new entrepreneurs that are immigrant, from 13.4 percent in 1996 to 29.5 percent in 2010.” Meanwhile, many U.S. industries depend on immigrants, including undocumented workers, to operate their businesses. The Pew Hispanic Center estimates the share of employment occupied by unauthorized workers, who in 2008 totaled over 8 million, was 14 percent in construction, 13 percent in agriculture and 10 percent in leisure and hospitality. The bottom line: To be a successful global competitor, U.S. business must attract and retain the most talented and highly motivated people across the job-skill spectrum.
Lack of progress on federal immigration reform along with several draconian legislative efforts by individual states increasingly threatens the human rights of immigrants, some of whom face growing discrimination and violence. At least 5 million children of undocumented immigrants, the vast majority of whom were born in the U.S., endure an uncertain future that imperils their families. Moreover, fear of exposure keeps undocumented workers, who are disproportionately represented in low-wage occupations, vulnerable to unscrupulous employers who can violate wage, safety and discrimination laws with impunity.
To help end the legislative impasse, our coalition of faith-based investors, investment firms, unions and the New York City Comptroller wrote to over 150 CEOs to ask for their public support of comprehensive immigration reform that includes a pathway for currently undocumented workers. We cited the Partnership for a New American Economy (the Partnership), a bipartisan coalition of mayors and business leaders who are making the case for sensible immigration reform. Thus far 17 companies have responded, many sharing common concerns but none expressing willingness to take a public stand, including Apache, Colgate-Palmolive, Devon Energy, Emerson Electric, IBM and Merck. Plans to follow up on a targeted basis are in the works. We praise corporate leaders who are already speaking out through the Partnership, including co-Chairs Microsoft and Walt Disney, as well as Adobe Systems, JPMorgan Chase, Quest Diagnostics, and Time Warner Cable. Their support could help foster the political will necessary to make progress.

Social Equity Fund Objective The investment objective of the Walden Social Equity Fund is to seek long-term growth of capital.
Investment Concerns Equity securities (stocks) are more volatile and carry more risk and return potential than other forms of investments, including investments in high-grade fixed income securities. The net asset value per share of this Fund will fluctuate as the value of the securities in the portfolio changes.
Bonds offer a relatively stable level of income, although bond prices will fluctuate, providing the potential for principal gain or loss. Intermediate-term, higher quality bonds generally offer less risk than longer-term bonds and a lower rate of return.
Cash equivalents offer low risk and low return potential. | | | | |

Management Discussion of Fund Performance
Portfolio Review The Walden Social Balanced Fund was well positioned to participate in the favorable stock market trend over the past twelve months. Our constructive views about the sustainability of the current economic recovery—despite the ominous headlines—led us to retain the Fund’s equity allocation near 70% for most of the past year. While the Fund’s performance benefited from the above average equity exposure (the usual range is 45% to 75%), the Fund’s performance modestly trailed its Morningstar peer group average for the 12-month period. We are pleased that during this period of sharply rising markets the Fund’s emphasis on high quality, lower risk equity investments did not significantly constrain results. In contrast, the Fund’s bond segment performance fell short of the Barclays Capital U.S. Government/Credit Bond Index as longer maturity, and lower credit quality issues led the market higher. Given today’s low starting yields, we believe total returns for the fixed income segment in the year ahead are likely to be modest, and that the risks of extending maturities or increasing credit risk are substantial. We therefore have focused our efforts to achieve attractive total returns on the equity segment. As outlined on the performance chart on page 31, however, the Fund’s long-term results remain competitive.
The Walden Social Equity Fund returned 15.77% for 12-month period ended March 31, 2011 compared to the 15.65% for the S&P 500 Index. We are pleased to report strong, absolute returns during a period when more volatile, riskier stocks such as those of commodities and energy companies were in favor. We continue to emphasize dominant businesses well-placed to benefit from a global recovery.
Our Investment Strategy In our view, stocks remain fairly priced by past standards, and are attractive compared to the low yields available in both money market instruments and bonds. Unless there is a significant change in the economic trend or a sharp rise in prices, we expect to keep the Balanced Fund’s equity exposure at the upper end of the range in the months ahead. We believe equity values will continue to be supported by a combination of the ample corporate cash flow and the continued profit growth we anticipate for the remainder of 2011 and into 2012.*
Within the Fund’s equity segment, and the Walden Social Equity Fund, we have emphasized stocks of companies that we believe will benefit comparatively from the broad global economic recovery that is underway. These include stocks in the industrial and technology industries. We also continue to emphasize stocks of higher quality companies. In our view higher quality stocks are not likely to decline as much as stocks generally if the pace of economic recovery decelerates unexpectedly. We also believe they remain attractively priced compared to equity securities of most risky, less proven companies.*
Our investment position within the fixed income segment of the Balanced Fund is also unchanged; we continue to prefer investment-grade issues with comparatively short maturities. From a total return perspective, the incremental yield available in longer-maturity or higher credit risk bonds is insufficient, in our view to compensate for the potential loss in principal value if interest rates rise or credit conditions deteriorate.*

Hypothetical Growth of a $10,000 Investment


The charts represent historical 10-year performance of a hypothetical investment of $10,000 in the Walden Social Balanced Fund and Walden Social Equity Fund, respectively, and represents the reinvestment of dividends and capital gains in the Fund. The returns shown on the table and graph do not reflect the deduction of taxes a shareholder would pay on Fund distributions or the redemption of Fund shares.
The Walden Social Balanced Fund is measured against a combination of equity and fixed income indices. The Walden Social Equity Fund is measured against the Standard & Poor’s 500 Index (“S&P 500”) which 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 Barclays Capital U.S. Government/Credit Bond Index is a component of the Barclays U.S. Aggregate Index. The Barclays Capital 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 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 Morningstar U.S. Open-End Moderate Allocation Funds Average represents performance of portfolios that seek to provide both capital appreciation and income by investing in three major areas: stocks, bonds, and cash. These portfolios tend to hold larger positions in stocks than conservative-allocation portfolios. These portfolios typically have 50% to 70% of assets in equities and the remainder in fixed income and cash. 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 index.

Fund Objective | |
| The investment objective of the Walden Small Cap Innovations Fund is to seek long-term capital growth through an actively managed portfolio of stocks of small capitalization companies. | |
|
Investment Concerns | |
| Equity securities (stocks) are more volatile and carry more risk and return potential than other forms of investments, including investments in high-grade fixed income securities.
Small-capitalization funds typically carry additional risks since smaller companies generally have a higher risk of failure, and historically, their stocks have experienced a greater degree of market volatility than stocks on average. | |

Manager Commentary (Unaudited)
Management Discussion of Fund Performance
Portfolio Review
The Walden Small Cap Innovations Fund, which focuses on higher quality, innovative companies, rose 25.13% for the year ended March 31, 2011, in-line with the robust performance of the Russell 2000® Index. For the trailing since inception period ended March 31, 2011, the Fund performed in-line with the benchmark.
Contributors and Detractors to Performance
Overall, the Fund participated, albeit not fully, in the strong market rise of most quarters this fiscal year, while avoiding some of the downturn last spring. This performance pattern is consistent, in our view, with the Fund’s focus on higher quality, innovative companies. Generally speaking, higher quality firms underperform in a period of sharply rising stock prices. And, by certain measures of financial quality, such as returns on capital, and the stability of profitability, it appears that higher quality small cap firms did modestly underperform the small cap market during the past year, especially during the summer months. The Fund’s higher quality profile benefited from the market’s volatility this past year, in our view, while the acquisition of four Fund holdings in late 2010 also contributed positively. As noted previously, we aim to maintain Fund sector weights comparable to those of the overall market. Thus, our sector composition generally has no significant impact on overall performance.
The best-performing Fund holdings through the full year period were CARBO Ceramics, Inc. (CRR), which represents 2.73% of the Fund at March 31, 2011, Hain Celestial Group, Inc. (HAIN)(0.59%), Lindsay Manufacturing Co. (LNN)(1.21%), and Under Armour, Inc. (UA) (1.67%). Conversely, the Fund laggards for the full year period were eHealth, Inc. (EHTH) (0.86%), Itron, Inc. (ITRI)(0.30%), Net 1 UEPS Technologies, Inc. (UEPS)(0.45%), and NutriSystem, Inc. (NTRI)(0.31%).*
Changes in Fund Positions
We sold the entire position of 17 small-cap stocks during the year. Five firms, including Lululemon Athletica (LULU), grew over Boston Trust’s upper market cap threshold. Four firms, including Baldor Electric (BEZ), were acquired. We sold 8 firms from the Fund due to concerns about the sustainability of future profitability or deteriorating fundamentals. These included Pre-Paid Legal Services (PPD) and Timberland (TBL).*
Conversely, we established new positions in 27 higher quality, innovative small cap company stocks during the fiscal year. Examples include East West Bancorp, Inc. (EWBC) (1.58%), Hub Group, Inc. (HUBG)(0.47%), InterDigital, Inc. (IDCC)(1.03%), NIC, Inc. (EGOV)(0.63%), and OYO Geospace Corp. (OYOG)(0.49%).
Fund Manager Outlook
With a trailing Price-to-Earnings1 ratio of 39x at March 31, 2011, the valuation of the Russell 2000® implies a continued, strong recovery in small cap company earnings. The market may have an overly optimistic outlook for small cap firms overall, and a shortfall in sales and earnings may prove disappointing. However, if the economy continues to improve, and small cap stocks live up to market expectations for growth, then these stocks may continue to perform well. In either case, we continue to believe that our focus on innovative, higher quality, more reasonably valued stocks leveraged to more sustainable elements of economic growth, may continue to provide value to clients’ overall portfolios over time.

The chart represents historical performance of a hypothetical investment of $10,000 in the Walden Small Cap Innovations Fund from October 24, 2008 to March 31, 2011, and represents the reinvestment of dividends and capital gains in the Fund. The returns shown on the table and graph do not reflect the deduction of taxes a shareholder would pay on Fund distributions or the redemption of Fund shares.
The Walden Small Cap Innovations Fund is measured against the Russell 2000® Index, which is an unmanaged index that measures the performance of the small-cap segment of the U.S. equity universe. The Russell 2000® Index is a subset of the Russell 3000® Index representing approximately 8% of the total market capitalization of that index. It includes approximately 2,000 of the smallest securities based on a combination of their market cap and current index membership. The performance of an index 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 index.

Fund Net Asset Value: | $17.64 |
Gross Expense Ratio1: | 1.70% |
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.
1 | The Gross Expense Ratio is from the Fund’s most recent prospectus, dated August 1, 2010. The Gross Expense Ratio excludes the impact of any voluntary or contractual fee waivers. After giving effect to such fee waivers, the Fund’s Net Expense Ratio would be 1.02%, including the indirect expenses of investing in acquired funds. Please see the Fund’s most recent prospectus for details. Additional information pertaining to the Fund’s expense ratio as of March 31, 2011 can be found in the financial highlights. The investment performance reflects voluntary and contractual fee waivers. If such fee reductions had not occurred, the quoted performance would have been lower. The voluntary fee waivers may be discontinued at any time. The contractual fee waiver continues through August 1, 2012 and may be terminated thereafter. |

| | |
1. | | Organization: |
| | The Coventry Group (the “Group”) 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 Group contains the following Boston Trust Funds and Walden Funds (individually a “Fund”, collectively the “Funds”): |
| | |
| | Fund | | | Short Name | | |
| | Boston Trust Balanced Fund | | Balanced Fund | |
| | Boston Trust Equity Fund | | Equity Fund | |
| | Boston Trust Midcap Fund | | Midcap Fund | |
| | Boston Trust Small Cap Fund | | Small Cap Fund | |
| | Walden Social Balanced Fund | | Social Balanced Fund | |
| | Walden Social Equity Fund | | Social Equity Fund | |
| | Walden Small Cap Innovations Fund | | Small Cap Innovations Fund | |
| | | | | | | |
| | The investment objective of the Balanced Fund and Social Balanced 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 Social Equity Fund is to seek long-term capital growth through an actively managed portfolio of stocks. The investment objective of the 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 Small Cap Fund and Small Cap Innovations Fund is to seek long-term capital growth through an actively managed portfolio of stocks of small capitalization companies. |
| | |
| | Under the Group’s organizational documents, its officers and trustees are indemnified against certain liabilities arising out of the performance of their duties to the Group. In addition, in the normal course of business, the Group 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 that 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. |
| | |
| | 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 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. |
| | |
| | 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 Group’s Board of Trustees (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 are 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 Group may use a pricing service to value certain portfolio securities where the prices provided are believed to reflect the fair market value of such securities. If market prices are not readily available or, in Boston Trust Investment Management, Inc.’s (the “Adviser”) opinion, 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. |
| | |
| | Investments in investment companies and money market funds are valued at net asset value per share. Certificates of deposit are valued at acquisition cost. |
| | |
| | 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. |
| | |
| | |
| | |
Notes to Financial Statements | | March 31, 2011 |
| | |
| | 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, and certificates of deposit are generally categorized as Level 2 securities in the fair value hierarchy. Open-end 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 Pricing Committee 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 March 31, 2011 in valuing the Funds’ investments based on the three levels defined above. |

| | The Funds recognize significant transfers, if any, between fair value hierarchy levels at the reporting period end. There were no significant transfers between Levels 1, 2 or 3 as of March 31, 2011 from the valuation input levels used on March 31, 2010. The Funds did not hold any Level 3 securities for the year ended March 31, 2011. |

Notes to Financial Statements | | March 31, 2011 |
| | |
| | Security Transactions and Related Income: |
| | Security transactions are recorded no later than one business day after trade date. For financial reporting purposes, security transactions are recorded on trade date on the last business day of the reporting period. Interest income is recognized on the accrual basis and includes, where applicable, the amortization of premium or discount. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date. Gains or losses realized on sales of securities are determined by comparing the identified cost of the security lot sold with the net sales proceeds. |
| | |
| | Expenses: |
| | Expenses directly attributable to a Fund are charged directly to that Fund. Expenses relating to the Group are allocated proportionately to each Fund within the Group according to the relative net assets of each Fund or on another reasonable basis. |
| | |
| | Dividends to Shareholders: |
| | Dividends 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 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, paydowns, and distributions), 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. |

| | 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 of the Funds 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). The Funds recognize interest and penalties, if any, related to unrecognized tax benefits, as income tax expense in the Statement of Operations. Management believes that there is no tax liability resulting from unrecognized tax benefits related to uncertain tax positions taken as of and during the year ended March 31, 2011. |

Citi, as the Funds’ administrator, provides administrative and fund accounting services for a fee that is computed daily and paid monthly at an annual rate of up to 0.20% of the average daily net assets of each Fund. Certain officers of the Group are affiliated with Citi. Such persons were paid no fees directly by the Funds for serving as officers of the Group, except the Chief Compliance Officer (the “CCO”). The CCO is not paid directly by the Funds. Rather, the Funds pay Citi for CCO services, which include the services of the CCO. |

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 year ended March 31, 2011, the Funds paid Citi $31,282, plus certain out of pocket expenses, for the services provided under the CCO Agreement. Citi pays the salary and other compensation earned by the CCO as an employee of Citi. |

Under the distribution agreement, Foreside receives a fixed fee of $15,000 per year, paid monthly by the Adviser from its profits and not by the Funds, for its services. Foreside is not affiliated with Citi or the Adviser. |
| | |
| | Custodian and Transfer Agency: |
| | Boston Trust & Investment Management Company (“Boston Trust”), the parent company of the Adviser, acts as the Funds’ custodian and transfer agent. Under the custody agreement, Boston Trust receives an asset-based fee of 0.02% of the average daily net assets for the first $100 million and 0.015% of the average daily net assets above $100 million, plus per transaction fees. Under the transfer agency agreement, Boston Trust receives a fixed fee of $18,000 annually, accrued daily and paid monthly for its services. Under a sub-transfer agency agreement, Citi receives a fixed fee of $50,000 annually accrued daily and paid monthly, plus certain out of pocket expenses for its services to the Group. At March 31, 2011, each Fund, except the Balanced Fund and the Equity Fund is party to the sub-transfer agency agreement. |

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 August 1 of every year until the Adviser provides written notice of non-renewal to the Group. |

Notes to Financial Statements | | March 31, 2011 |
| | |
Under current tax law, 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 Funds did not have any post October losses for the year ended March 31, 2011.
The Regulated Investment Company Modernization Act of 2010 (the “Act”) was enacted on December 22, 2010. The Act makes changes to several tax rules impacting the Funds. In general, the provisions of the Act will be effective for the Funds’ fiscal year ending March 31, 2012. Although the Act provides several benefits, including the unlimited carryforward of future capital losses, there may be a greater likelihood that all or a portion of each Fund’s pre-enactment capital loss carryforwards, if any, may expire without being utilized due to the fact that post-enactment capital losses get utilized before pre-enactment capital loss carryforwards.
Relevant information regarding the impact of the Act on the Funds, if any, will be contained within the “Federal Income Taxes” section of the financial statement notes for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2012.
As of March 31, 2011, the following Funds had net capital loss carryforwards, which are available to offset future realized gains. To the extent these carryforwards are used to offset future gains, it is probable that the amounts offset will not be distributed to shareholders.
| Fund | | Amount | | Expires | |
| Balanced Fund | | $ | 2,255,997 | | 2018 | | |
| Equity Fund | | | 506,202 | | 2017 | | |
| Equity Fund | | | 2,441,640 | | 2018 | | |
| Social Balanced Fund | | | 1,107,598 | | 2018 | | |
| Social Equity Fund | | | 212,103 | | 2017 | | |
| Social Equity Fund | | | 4,091,269 | | 2018 | | |
During the year ended March 31, 2011, the following Funds utilized capital loss carryforwards to offset realized capital gains:
| Fund | | Amount | |
| Balanced Fund | | $ | 286,429 | |
| Equity Fund | | | 252,961 | |
| Midcap Fund | | | 244,417 | |
| Social Balanced Fund | | | 837,767 | |
| Social Equity Fund | | | 699,549 | |
As of March 31, 2011, the following reclassifications have been made to increase (decrease) such accounts with offsetting adjustments as indicated:
| | | Accumulated Net | | Accumulated Net | | | | |
| | | Investment Income | | Realized Gains | | Paid in Capital |
| Small Cap Fund | | $ | 54,474 | | | $ | (54,475 | ) | | $ | 1 | |

6. Control Ownership and Principal Holders:
The beneficial ownership, either directly or indirectly, of more than 25% of the voting securities of a Fund creates presumptions of control of the Fund, under section 2 (a)(9) of the 1940 Act. As of March 31, 2011, the Funds had individual shareholder accounts and/or omnibus shareholder accounts (comprised of a group of individual shareholders), owning more than 25% of the total shares outstanding of the Fund as detailed below:
| Fund | | Control Ownership | | % of Ownership |
| Balanced Fund | | Boston Trust & Investment Management Company | | 95.7 |

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the Shareholders and Board of Trustees of The Coventry Group:
We have audited the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities, including the schedules of portfolio investments, of The Coventry Group, comprising the Boston Trust Balanced Fund, Boston Trust Equity Fund, Boston Trust Midcap Fund, Boston Trust Small Cap Fund, Walden Social Balanced Fund, Walden Social Equity Fund, and Walden Small Cap Innovations Fund (the “Funds”) as of March 31, 2011, and the related statement of operations for the year then ended, the statements of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, and the financial highlights for each of the three periods in the period then ended. These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of Fund management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and financial highlights based on our audits. The financial highlights for the periods indicated prior to the period ended March 31, 2009 were audited by another independent registered public accounting firm, who expressed an unqualified opinion on those financial statements and financial highlights.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and financial highlights are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of March 31, 2011 by correspondence with the custodian and brokers. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of each of the Funds constituting The Coventry Group as of March 31, 2011, the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, and the financial highlights for each of the three periods in the period then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Table of Shareholder Expenses:
As a shareholder of the Boston Trust Funds and Walden Funds, 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 Funds and 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 October 1, 2010, through March 31, 2011.
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 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.

Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes
The table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on each Boston Trust Fund’s and Walden 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.

The annual consideration by the Board of Trustees (the “Board”) of the continuation of the investment advisory agreement between Boston Trust Investment Management, Inc., (the “Adviser”) and Boston Trust Balanced Fund, Boston Trust Equity Fund, Boston Trust Midcap Fund, Boston Trust Small Cap Fund, Walden Social Balanced Fund, Walden Social Equity Fund and Walden Small Cap Innovations Fund (the “Funds”).
Section 15 of the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the “1940 Act”) requires that the Investment Advisory Agreement with the Adviser be renewed annually by the Board, including a majority of the Trustees who are not “interested persons” of the Funds or of the Adviser (“Independent Trustees”). It is the duty of the Board to request as much information as is reasonably necessary to evaluate the terms of the Investment Advisory Agreement and determine whether its continuance is fair to the Funds and their shareholders. The Board considered the continuation of the Investment Advisory Agreement at an in-person meeting held on February 25, 2011. The Board requested, and the Adviser provided, information and data relating to: (i) the investment performance of the Funds and the Adviser; (ii) the nature, extent and quality of the services provided by the Adviser to the Funds; (iii) the cost of the services to be provided and the profits to be realized by the Adviser and its affiliates from the relationship with the Funds; (iv) the extent to which economies of scale will be realized as the Funds grow; (v) whether the fee levels reflect these economies of scale to the benefit of Funds’ shareholders; (vi) the advisory fees paid by other comparable funds advised by the Adviser or by a different investment adviser; (vii) the Funds’ expense ratios and the expense ratios of similar funds; and (viii) the effect of any fee waivers and expense reimbursements made by the Adviser.
At the meeting on February 25, 2011, the Board engaged in a thorough review process to determine whether to continue the Investment Advisory Agreement. The Board met directly with representatives of the Adviser and reviewed the information and data listed above. As part of its deliberations, the Board also considered and relied upon the information about the Funds and the Adviser that it had received throughout the year as part of its ongoing oversight of the Funds and their operations. The Board reviewed the performance of the Funds from inception through December 31, 2010, comparing the performance to various indices and, in the case of the Boston Trust Balanced Fund and the Walden Social Balanced Fund, to a composite index comprised of stocks, bond and money market indices. The Boston Trust Equity Fund, Boston Trust Midcap Fund and Walden Social Equity Fund outperformed their respective indices for the one year, five-year and since inception periods ended December 31, 2010. The Boston Trust Balanced Fund outperformed the composite return and the S&P 500 Index for all periods, but lagged the Barclays Capital Government/Credit Bond Index for the five-year period ended December 31, 2010. The Walden Social Balanced Fund underperformed the S&P 500 for the one-year period, the composite return for the five-year period and the Barclays Capital Government/Credit Bond Index for the five-year and since inception periods. The Boston Trust Small Cap and the Walden Small Cap Innovations Fund outperformed the Russell Midcap Index and the Russell 2000 Index, respectively, for all periods other than the one-year period ended December 31, 2010.
Turning to the level of the advisory fees paid by the Funds, the Board reviewed a comparative analysis of advisory fees and expense ratios based on publicly available data for comparable funds. The Board noted that, with the exception of the Boston Trust Balanced Fund, Boston Trust Equity Fund, Walden Social Balanced Fund and Walden Social Equity Fund, each Fund has a contractual advisory fee that is at or below the average fee for the peer group. The contractual advisory fees for the Boston Trust Equity Fund and Walden Social Equity Fund, meanwhile, were near the median for the peer group, while the contractual advisory fees for the Boston Trust Balanced Fund and Walden Social Balanced Fund were above the median for the peer group average, but below the highest fees in the peer group. The Board noted that the Adviser has been operating under an Expense Limitation Agreement that requires BTIM to waive fees and/or reimburse expenses to the extent total operation expenses of all any Fund exceeds 1.00%. The actual advisory fees charged by all the Boston Trust and Walden Funds, except the Boston Trust Balanced Fund, are below the peer group average after expense waivers and/or reimbursements. Actual advisory fees for the Boston Trust Balanced Fund are above the peer group average, but well below the highest fees paid by funds in the peer group. Turning to total operating expenses, the Board noted that the expense ratios for all the Boston Trust Funds and Walden Funds, other than the Boston Trust Equity Fund and the Walden Social Equity Fund, are lower than the industry average after expense waivers and/or reimbursements. The expense ratios, after expense waivers and/or reimbursements, for the Boston Trust Equity Fund and the Walden Social Equity Fund are one basis point above the industry average and in the middle of the range of expense ratios for the peer group. After considering the comparative data as described above, and the proposed renewal of the Expense Limitation Agreement, the Board concluded that the advisory fees and expense ratios were reasonable.
The Board gave careful consideration to the nature, extent and quality of the services provided by the Adviser to the Funds. The Board reviewed the Adviser’s organizational structure, investment philosophy, portfolio construction process, fixed income approach and brokerage policies. The Board noted the experience and the capabilities of the Adviser’s personnel, as well as the quality of the reports and other materials received from the Adviser. Taking into account the personnel involved in servicing the Funds, as well as the materials and services described above, the Board expressed satisfaction with the quality of the services received from the Adviser.

The Board then reviewed financial information collected from the income statements of the Adviser concerning the cost to the Adviser of providing services to the Funds and the overall profitability to the Adviser of its relationship with the Funds. The Board noted that the Adviser’s relationship with the Funds was profitable in spite of the revenue reducing efforts of an Expense Limitation Agreement with the Funds. The Board also reviewed the fees received by the Adviser and its affiliates under the Transfer Agency and Custody Agreements.
In reaching its conclusions with respect to the continuation of the Investment Advisory Agreement, the Board did not identify any single controlling factor. Rather, the Board noted that a combination of factors influenced their decision making process. The Board did, however, identify the commitment of the Adviser to the successful operation of the Funds and the level of Fund expenses as being important elements of their consideration. The Board took notice of the fact that the Adviser has maintained an Expense Limitation Agreement with respect to each of the Funds since the inception of each Fund pursuant to which total operating expenses for each of the Funds is limited, which the Board noted benefits shareholders in each of the Funds. The Board took further notice of the fact that the Adviser has agreed to continue the Expense Limitation Agreement for each of the Funds. Based upon their review and consideration of these factors and other matters deemed relevant by the Board in reaching an informed business judgment, a majority of the Board, including a majority of the Independent Trustees, concluded that the terms of the Investment Advisory Agreement are fair and reasonable and the Board voted to renew the Investment Advisory Agreement for an additional one-year period.
