Preliminary
Assessment: Every security is analyzed to verify eligibility and fit with
the impact goals. |
2) |
Research:
Each security undergoes an in‑depth review and analysis to determine its
level of expected impact. The data, sources, and impact
measurements/metrics are documented in the Advisor’s research database,
and this information is updated throughout the investment
lifecycle. |
3) |
Recommendation:
If a security meets both the impact and return objectives of the Fund, it
will be recommended for inclusion in the
Fund. |
4) |
Monitoring:
Impact data from the research database is aggregated at the Fund level and
monitored by the Advisor on an ongoing basis to compare the actual impact
of the Fund to its expected impact and impact objectives. When monitoring
at the portfolio level indicates that a security is no longer expected to
achieve its intended impact or no longer aligns with the Fund’s impact
objectives, the Advisor will seek an appropriate course of action, which
may include exiting the
investment. |
5) |
Reporting:
Aggregated impact results are published in an Annual Impact Investing
Report on the Advisor’s website. The Annual Impact Investing Report
includes both portfolio-level reporting and disclosures on the impact
measurement
process. |

Certain
broker-dealers and other financial intermediaries are authorized to accept
purchase orders on behalf of a Fund which are processed based on the
Fund’s net asset value next determined after your order is received by an
organization in proper order before 4:00 p.m., Eastern time, or such
earlier time as may be required by an organization. These organizations
may be authorized to designate other intermediaries to act in this
capacity. These organizations may vary in terms of how they process your
orders, and they may charge you transaction fees on purchases of Fund
shares and may also impose other charges or restrictions or account
options that differ from those applicable to shareholders who purchase
shares directly through the Fund or its transfer agent, U.S. Bank Global
Fund Services. These organizations may be the shareholders of record of
your shares. These intermediaries are responsible for transmitting
requests and delivering funds on a timely basis. The Funds are not
responsible for ensuring that the organizations carry out their
obligations to their customers. |

The names and registrations on the accounts must be identical. The exchange must meet the applicable minimum exchange amount requirement. |
Shareholder Information | ||||||
Lost Accounts/
Unclaimed Assets |
Please
note that based upon statutory requirements for returned mail, the Funds
and the transfer agent will attempt to locate the investor or rightful
owner of the account. If the Funds are unable to locate the investor, then
they will determine whether the investor’s account can legally be
considered abandoned. States increasingly are looking at inactive accounts
as possible abandoned or unclaimed property. Your mutual fund account may
be transferred to your state of residence if no activity occurs within
your account during the “inactivity period” specified in your State’s
abandoned property laws. The Funds (or the broker or custodian of record
having beneficial owner information) are legally obligated to escheat (or
transfer) abandoned property to the appropriate state’s unclaimed property
administrator in accordance with statutory requirements. The Funds will
not be liable to investors or their representatives for good faith
compliance with state unclaimed or abandoned property (escheatment)
laws.
Escheatment
laws vary by State, and States have different criteria for defining
inactivity and abandoned property. The investor’s last known address of
record determines which state has jurisdiction. The process described
above, and the application of state escheatment laws, may vary depending
on how shareholders hold their shares in the Funds. If your shares are
held directly with a Fund, please proactively contact the Fund’s transfer
agent at 1‑800‑422‑2766 at least annually to ensure your account remains
in active status. Alternatively, if your shares are held through a
financial institution, please work with your financial institution
directly to check your account status. Investors with a state of residence
in Texas have the ability to designate a representative to receive
legislatively required unclaimed property due diligence notifications.
Please contact the Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts for
further information. |
By Telephone | 1‑800‑422‑2766 | You may make additional investments by telephone if your account has been opened for at least 7 business days. After the Fund receives and accepts your request, the Fund will deduct from your checking or savings account (requires banking information to be on file and your bank must be a member of the ACH network) the cost of the shares. Availability of this service is subject to approval by the Fund and the participating banks. | ||

By Wire | Redemption proceeds may be wired to your pre‑identified bank account. A $15 fee is deducted from your redemption proceeds for complete and share redemptions of Class A shares. In case of a partial redemption, the fee of $15 will be deducted from the remaining account balance. If your written request is received in good order before 4:00 p.m. Eastern time, the Funds will normally wire the money on the following business day. If the Funds receive your request after 4:00 p.m. Eastern time, the Funds will normally wire the money on the second business day. Contact your financial institution about the time of receipt and availability. See “Signature Guarantees” below for information on when a signature guarantee is required. | |||
Systematic
Withdrawal
Plan (Class A Shares Only) |
As
another convenience, you may redeem your Fund shares through the
Systematic Withdrawal Plan (SWP). Under the Plan, you may choose to
receive a specified dollar amount, generated from the redemption of shares
in your account, on a monthly, quarterly or annual basis. In order to
participate in the Plan, your account balance must be at least $10,000. If
you elect this method of redemption, the Fund will send a check to your
address of record or will send the payment via electronic funds transfer
through the Automated Clearing House (ACH) network directly to your bank
account. For payment through the ACH network, your bank must be an ACH
member and your bank account
|
Shareholder Information | ||||||
information
must be maintained on your Fund account. This Program may be terminated at
any time by the Fund. You may also elect to terminate your participation
in this Plan at any time by contacting the transfer agent at least five
days prior to the next scheduled withdrawal.
A
withdrawal under the Plan involves a redemption of shares and may result
in a gain or loss for federal income tax purposes. In addition, if the
amount requested to be withdrawn exceeds the amount available in your
account, which includes any dividends credited to your account, the
account will ultimately be depleted.
You
may specify a dollar amount to be withdrawn monthly, quarterly or
annually. You must own shares in an open account valued at $10,000 or more
when you first authorize the systematic withdrawal plan (SWP). If you wish
to establish a SWP, please complete this section of the account
application or contact the transfer agent for further instructions.
Depending upon how long you have held your shares, contingent deferred
sales charges may apply for
Class A shares. |
