A.

Security Valuation. Security Valuation. All equity securities, which may include Real Estate Investment Trusts (“REITs”), Business Development Companies (“BDCs”) and
Master Limited Partnerships (“MLPs”), that are traded on U.S. or foreign national securities exchanges are valued at the last reported sale price on the exchange on which the security is principally traded or the exchange’s official closing
price, if applicable. If, on a particular day, an exchange-traded security does not trade, then the mean between the most recent quoted bid and asked prices will be used. All equity securities, which may include REITs, BDCs and MLPs, that are
not traded on a listed exchange are valued at the last sale price in the over-the-counter market. If a non- exchange traded security does not trade on a particular day, then the mean between the last quoted closing bid and asked price will be
used.
|
|
For foreign securities traded on foreign exchanges the Trust has selected ICE Data Services Fair Value Information Services (“FVIS”) to provide pricing data with respect to foreign security holdings held by the
Emerging Markets Fund and the International Fund. The use of this
|
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS March 31, 2024 (Unaudited) (Continued)
|
third-party pricing service is designed to capture events occurring after a foreign exchange closes that may affect the value of certain holdings of the Funds’ securities traded on those foreign exchanges. The
Funds utilize a confidence interval when determining the use of the FVIS provided prices. The confidence interval is a measure of the historical relationship that each foreign exchange traded security has to movements in various indices and
the price of the security’s corresponding ADR, if one exists. FVIS provides the confidence interval for each security for which it provides a price. If the FVIS provided price falls within the confidence interval the Funds will value the
particular security at that price. If the FVIS provided price does not fall within the confidence interval the particular security will be valued at the preceding closing price on its respective foreign exchange, or if there were no
transactions on such day, at the mean between the bid and asked prices.
|
||
Securities for which market quotations are not readily available are valued at their respective fair values as determined in accordance with procedures approved by the Board of Trustees (the “Board”). Pursuant
to Rule 2a-5 under the 1940 Act, the Board has designated Boston Common Asset Management (the “Advisor”) as valuation designee to perform fair value determinations relating to the Funds’ portfolio investments, subject to the Board’s
oversight. Fair value pricing is an inherently subjective process, and no single standard exists for determining fair value. Different funds could reasonably arrive at different values for the same security. The use of fair value pricing by a
fund may cause the net asset value of its shares to differ significantly from the net asset value that would be calculated without regard to such considerations.
|
||
As described above, the Funds utilize various methods to measure the fair value of its investments on a recurring basis. U.S. GAAP establishes a hierarchy that prioritizes inputs to valuation methods. The three
levels of inputs are:
|
Level 1 –
|
Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Funds have the ability to access.
|
||
Level 2 –
|
Observable inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. These inputs may include quoted prices for the identical instrument
on an inactive market, prices for similar instruments, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, yield curves, default rates and similar data.
|
||
Level 3 –
|
Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability, to the extent relevant observable inputs are not available; representing the
|
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS March 31, 2024 (Unaudited) (Continued)
|
Funds’ own assumptions about the assumptions a market participant would use in valuing the asset or liability and would be based on the best information available.
|
The availability of observable inputs can vary from security to security and is affected by a wide variety of factors, including, for example, the type of security, whether the security is new and not yet
established in the marketplace, the liquidity of markets, and other characteristics particular to the security. To the extent that valuation is based on models or inputs that are less observable or unobservable in the market, the
determination of fair value requires more judgment. Accordingly, the degree of judgment exercised in determining fair value is greatest for instruments categorized in Level 3.
|
||
The inputs used to measure fair value may fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In such cases, for disclosure purposes, the level in the fair value hierarchy within which the fair value
measurement falls in its entirety, is determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety.
|
||
The following is a summary of the inputs used to value the Funds’ investments as of March 31, 2024. See the Schedules of Investments for sector breakouts.

Refer to the Schedules of Investments for industry classifications.
|
||
B.
|
Foreign Currency. Investment securities and other assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollar amounts at the date of
valuation. Purchases and sales of investment securities and income and expense items denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollar amounts on the respective dates of such transactions.
|
|
The Funds do not isolate that portion of the results of operations resulting from changes in foreign exchange rates on investments from the fluctuations arising from changes in market prices of securities held.
Such fluctuations are included with the net realized and unrealized gain or loss from investments.
|
||
The Funds report net realized foreign exchange gains or losses that a rise from sales of foreign currencies, currency gains or losses realized between the trade and settlement dates on securities transactions,
and the difference between the amounts of dividends, interest, and foreign withholding taxes recorded on the Funds’ books and the U.S. dollar equivalent of the amounts actually received or paid. Net unrealized foreign exchange gains and
losses arise from changes in the fair values of assets and liabilities, other than investments in securities at period end, resulting from changes in exchange rates.
|
||
C.
|
Federal Income Taxes. Each Fund has elected to be taxed as a “regulated investment company” and intends to distribute substantially all taxable income to its
shareholders and otherwise comply with the provisions of the Internal Revenue Code applicable to regulated investment companies. Therefore, no provision for federal income taxes or excise taxes has been made.
|
|
In order to avoid imposition of the excise tax applicable to regulated investment companies, each Fund intends to declare each year as dividends in each calendar year at least 98.0% of its net investment income
(earned during the calendar year) and at least 98.2% of its net realized capital gains (earned during the twelve months ended October 31) plus undistributed amounts, if any, from prior years.
|
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS March 31, 2024 (Unaudited) (Continued)
|
Net capital losses incurred after October 31, within the taxable year are deemed to arise on the first business day of the Funds’ next taxable year. The Funds at the most recent fiscal year ended September 30,
2023 had no post-October losses or late year losses. At September 30, 2023, the Emerging Markets Fund has $1,171,115 of short-term capital loss carryforwards and $910,944 of long-term capital loss carryforwards, which do not expire. At
September 30, 2023, the International Fund has $15,804,718 of short-term capital loss carryforwards and $34,683,653 of long-term capital loss carryforwards, which do not expire.
|
||
As of March 31, 2024, the Funds did not have any tax positions that did not meet the “more likely than not” threshold of being sustained by the applicable tax authority. Generally, tax authorities can examine
all the tax returns filed for the last three years. The Funds identify their major tax jurisdictions as U.S. Federal and the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. As of March 31, 2024, the Funds are not aware of any tax provisions for which it is
reasonably possible that the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits will change materially.
|
||
D.
|
Securities Transactions and Investment Income. Investment securities transactions are accounted for on the trade date. Gains and losses realized on sales of securities
are determined on a specific identification basis. Discounts/premiums on debt securities purchased are accreted/amortized over the life of the respective securities using the effective interest method. Dividend income is recorded on the
ex-dividend date. Dividends received from REITs are generally comprised of ordinary income, capital gains and may include return of capital. Interest income is recorded on an accrual basis. Other non-cash dividends are recognized as
investment income at the fair value of the property received. Withholding taxes on foreign dividends have been provided for in accordance with the Trust’s understanding of the applicable country’s tax rules and rates.
|
|
E.
|
Distributions to Shareholders. Distributions to shareholders from net investment income and net realized gains on securities for the Funds normally are declared and paid
on an annual basis. Distributions are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Withholding tax reclaims are filed in certain countries to recover a portion of the amounts previously withheld. The Funds record a reclaim receivable based on, among
other things, a jurisdiction’s legal obligation to pay reclaims as well as payment history and market convention.
|
|
F.
|
Use of Estimates. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported
amounts of assets and liabilities at
|
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS March 31, 2024 (Unaudited) (Continued)
|
the date of the financial statements, as well as the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
|
||
G.
|
Share Valuation. The net asset value (“NAV”) per share of each Fund is calculated by dividing the sum of the value of the securities held by the Fund, plus cash and
other assets, minus all liabilities (including estimated accrued expenses) by the total number of shares outstanding of the Fund, rounded to the nearest cent. The Funds’ shares will not be priced on the days on which the New York Stock
Exchange is closed for trading. The offering and redemption price per sha re for each Fund is equal to the Funds’ net asset value per share. The Funds charge a 2.00% redemption fee on shares held less than 30 calendar days. These fees are
deducted from the redemption proceeds otherwise payable to the shareholder. The Funds will retain the fee charged as pa id-in capital and such fees become part of that Funds’ daily NAV calculation.
|
|
H.
|
Illiquid Securities. Pursuant to Rule 22e-4 under the 1940 Act, the Funds have adopted a Board approved liquidity risk management program that requires, among other
things, that the Funds limit their illiquid investments that are assets to no more than 15% of net assets. An illiquid investment is any investment that the Funds reasonably expect cannot be sold or disposed of in current market conditions in
seven calendar days or less without the sale or disposition significantly changing the market value of the investment.
|
|
I.
|
Guarantees and Indemnifications. In the normal course of business, the Funds enter into contracts with service providers that contain general indemnification clauses.
The Funds’ maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would involve future claims that may be against the Funds that have not yet occurred. However, based on experience, the Funds expect the risk of loss to be remote.
|
|
J.
|
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements. In June 2022, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2022-03, which amends Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Fair Value
Measurement of Equity Securities Subject to Contractual Sale Restrictions (“ASU 2022-03”). ASU 2022-03 clarifies guidance for fair value measurement of an equity security subject to a contractual sale restriction and establishes new
disclosure requirements for such equity securities. ASU 2022-03 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023 and for interim periods within those fiscal years, with early adoption permitted. Management is currently
evaluating the impact of these amendments on the financial statements.
|
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS March 31, 2024 (Unaudited) (Continued)
|
In October 2022, the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) adopted a final rule relating to Tailored Shareholder Reports for Mutual Funds and Exchange-Traded Funds; Fee Information in Investment
Company Advertisements. The rule and form amendments will, among other things, require the Fund to transmit concise and visually engaging shareholder reports that highlight key information. The amendments will require that funds tag
information in a structured data format and that certain more in-depth information be made available online and available for delivery free of charge to investors on request. The amendments became effective January 24, 2023. There is an
18-month transition period after the effective date of the amendment.
|
||
K.
|
Subsequent Events. In preparing these financial statements, the Funds have evaluated events and transactions for potential recognition or disclosure through the date the
financial statements were issued. The Funds have determined that there were no subsequent events that would need to be disclosed in the Funds’ financial statements.
