INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE

The Winslow Green Growth Fund seeks long-term capital growth.

INVESTMENT STRATEGY

The Fund is a growth equity fund. The Fund intends to invest primarily in equity securities of environmentally sustainable companies, defined by Winslow as (1) companies with clean and efficient business practices that seek to minimize their environmental impact, or (2) companies whose products or services offer solutions to environmental problems. The Fund may invest in any industry sector, but tends to focus on certain environmentally-oriented investment themes, such as:

  • Clean Energy
  • Water Management
  • Resource Efficiency
  • Sustainable Living
  • Environmental Services
  • Green Transportation
  • Green Building

Although the Fund may invest in companies of any size capitalization, the Fund intends to invest a significant portion of its assets in domestic small capitalization companies (i.e., companies with a market capitalization below $2 billion) that, in the Adviser's view, represent attractive growth investment opportunities. Furthermore, the Fund may invest up to 20% of assets in foreign securities.

Investment in growth stocks may be susceptible to rapid price swings, especially during periods of economic uncertainty. The Winslow Green Growth Fund ("the Fund") invests in small and medium capitalization companies, which present greater risk than larger companies due to limited product lines, markets and financial or managerial resources. The Fund invests in foreign securities, which present increased risk over U.S. investments in the form of currency fluctuation, different regulation, accounting standards, trading practices and levels of available information, generally higher transaction costs, and political risk; it also focuses on green solutions companies, which presents increased risk over a more diversified portfolio by limiting investment choices to a specific sector that may or may not perform as well as other industry sectors. Total return figures include reinvestment of investment income and capital gains. During the period, some of the Fund's fees were waived or expenses reimbursed; otherwise, total return would have been lower. Prior to April 1, 2001, Winslow Management Company managed a common trust fund (“CTF”) with investment objectives and policies that were, in all material respects, equivalent to the Fund. The Fund’s performance for periods before April 1, 2001 is that of the CTF and reflects the expenses of the CTF. If the CTF’s performance had been readjusted to reflect estimated expenses of the Fund for its first fiscal year, the performance would have been lower. The CTF was not registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (“1940 Act”) nor subject to certain investment limitations, diversification requirements, and other restrictions imposed by the 1940 Act and the Internal Revenue Code, which, if applicable, may have adversely affected the performance results.
