  13. Socially Responsible Large Cap Growth Composite 1/1/04– 3/31/13 Composite Characteristics: The Socially Responsible Large Cap Growth Composite was created on April 1, 2004. The inception date is January 1, 2004 and reflects the first full month in which an account was fully invested in the strategy and met the inclusion criteria. The composite includes all fully discretionary accounts with a value over $500 thousand (US dollars) managed in the socially responsible large cap growth style for a minimum of one consecutive months. Accounts with wrap commissions are excluded from the composite. Prior to September 1, 2005 the composite did not include taxable accounts, private client accounts, or accounts with less than $1 million. The composite benchmark is the S&P 500 Index. Closed account data is included in the composite as mandated by the standards in order to eliminate a survivorship bias. A complete list and description of all firm composites is available upon request. Calculation Methodology: Valuations and returns are computed and stated in U.S. dollars. The firm uses the Modified Dietz formula to calculate monthly returns and links these returns geometrically to produce an accurate time-weighted rate of return. The composite is also revalued intra-month in cases where cash flows in excess of 10% of the composite’s value occur. Composite returns are asset-weighted. Gross of fees returns are calculated gross of management and custodial fees and net of transaction costs. Prior to 2007 net of fees returns are calculated by reducing gross returns by the highest management fee in the Socially Responsible Large Cap Growth composite, which is 0.75%. Effective January 1, 2007 net of fees returns are calculated using actual management fees. The composite results portrayed reflect the reinvestment of dividends, capital gains, and other earnings when appropriate. Accruals for equity securities are included in calculations. A maximum of 5% of the portfolio may be invested in the ADR’s of foreign companies. The dispersion measure is the asset-weighted standard deviation of accounts in the composite for the entire year. The three-year annualized standard deviation measures the variability of the composite and the benchmark returns over the preceding 36-month period. The standard deviation is not presented for 2004 through 2010 as it is not required for periods prior to 2011. Prior to January 1, 1993 the composite is not in compliance with GIPS. Fee Schedule: The firms’ individual account fee schedule is as follows: 1.00% for first $1 million, 0.80% for next $4 million, 0.60% for next $5 million. Management fees for individual accounts with assets under management exceeding $10 million, and for institutional accounts are negotiated. The individual account fee schedule may be subject to negotiation where circumstances warrant. As fees are deducted quarterly, the compounding effect will increase the impact of the fees by an amount directly related to the gross account performance. For example, an account earning a 10% annual gross return with a 1% annual fee deducted quarterly would earn an 8.9% annual net return due to compounding. Other Disclosures: Policies for valuing portfolios, calculating performance, and preparing compliant presentations are available upon request. Past performance does not guarantee future results. This performance report should not be construed as a recommendation to purchase or sell any particular securities held in composite accounts. Market conditions can vary widely over time and can result in a loss of portfolio value.
