WASOX Investment Objective and Strategy

Walden Small Cap Fund describes its objective and strategy as follows, from its latest prospectus filed with the SEC by Boston Trust Walden Funds.

Investment objective

The Walden Small Cap Fund seeks long-term capital growth through an actively managed portfolio of stocks of small capitalization (small cap) companies.

Principal investment strategy

The Fund invests, under normal circumstances, at least 80% of its assets in a diversified portfolio of domestic equity securities of small cap companies. Equity securities include common stock. Assets means net assets, plus the amount of borrowing for investment purposes. Shareholders will be given 60 days advance notice of any change to this policy. For these purposes, the Adviser defines small cap issuers as those with market capitalizations within the range encompassed by the Russell 2000 Index at the time of purchase. The size of companies in the Russell 2000 Index may change with market conditions. In addition, changes to the composition of the Russell 2000 Index can change the market capitalization range of the companies included in the index. As of December 31, 2017, the market capitalization range of the Russell 2000 Index was between $22.7 million and $9.4 billion.

The Adviser evaluates financially material environmental, social, and governance (ESG) factors as part of the investment decision-making process for the Fund. The Fund is subject to screening criteria in which the Adviser excludes companies with significant exposure in specific products or services, considering their revenue dependence, market share, and severity. In addition, the Adviser utilizes active ownership to encourage more sustainable business policies and practices and greater ESG transparency.
