About DSBFX
The Domini Impact Bond Fund Investor Shares is a fixed-income mutual fund focused on delivering a high level of current income and total return while integrating environmental and social criteria into its investment process. Managed by Domini Impact Investments LLC with Wellington Management Company LLP as subadviser, the fund primarily invests in investment-grade fixed-income securities such as U.S. government agency bonds, corporate debt, and mortgage- and asset-backed securities. The portfolio is carefully constructed to maintain an effective duration similar to that of the Bloomberg U.S. Aggregate Bond Index, ensuring interest rate risk is managed in line with peer benchmarks.
A distinctive feature of this fund is its application of rigorous impact investment standards, which exclude securities from industries deemed misaligned with universal human dignity and ecological sustainability—including fossil fuels, weapons, and for-profit prisons. The fund allocates a portion of its assets to green, social, and sustainability bonds, supporting initiatives in affordable housing, healthcare, education, and sustainable infrastructure. By channeling capital toward investments with positive social and environmental outcomes, the Domini Impact Bond Fund Investor Shares aims to play a constructive role in addressing societal challenges through responsible fixed-income investing.
