We have three mutual funds: the Green Century Balanced Fund, the Green Century Equity Fund, and the Green Century MSCI International Index Fund.

There are four main differences between the Funds:

1. Types of holdings. The Equity Fund and the International Index Fund invest in stocks. The Balanced Fund invests in stocks AND bonds.
2. Geographic scope. The Equity Fund invests only in U.S. companies and the Balanced Fund predominantly invests in U.S. companies. The International Index Fund invests in companies outside of the U.S.
3. Style of investment. The International Index Fund and the Equity Fund are passively managed funds, also known as index funds. They both invest in the stocks of companies included in indexes produced by MSCI that are customized for Green Century. ° The Balanced Fund is an actively managed fund; Trillium Asset Management is its subadvisor, or day-to-day portfolio manager, with the supervision of Green Century.
4. Currently, all of the Funds have Individual Investor Share Classes with slightly different expense ratios (1.20% for the Equity Fund, 1.28% for the International Index Fund and 1.47% for the Balanced Fund). And the International Index Fund, the Equity Fund, and the Balanced Fund also have Institutional Share Classes with an expense ratio of 0.98%, 0.90%, and 1.17%, respectively. There is a $250,000/Fund investment minimum for the Institutional Share Classes.Please see the Green Century Funds page to learn more.
