Green Century Balanced Fund
The Balanced Fund is an actively managed mutual fund comprised of equities and fixed-income securities. It typically holds 60% to 70% of its net assets in multi-cap stocks and 30% to 40% in investment-grade quality bonds with the majority in green bonds.
The Equity Fund invests in the common stocks of the approximately 360 companies comprising the MSCI KLD 400 ex Fossil Fuels Index.
The composition of the MSCI KLD 400 ex Fossil Fuels Index is reviewed annually and rebalanced quarterly. Companies are evaluated to determine if they have maintained their ESG performance and whether they remain part of the applicable MSCI universe.
The Green Century International Index Fund
The International Index Fund tracks the MSCI World ex USA SRI ex Fossil Fuels Index. This Index is composed of the common stocks of the approximately 240 companies in the MSCI World ex USA SRI Index which is then customized for Green Century to eliminate the stocks of companies that explore for, process, refine or distribute coal, oil, or gas, or produce or transmit electricity derived from fossil fuels, or have carbon reserves.
