Trillium Asset Management, LLC (Trillium) claims compliance with the Global Investment Performance Standards (GIPS®). Trillium is an investment advisor registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission under the Investment Advisors act of 1940. For the purposes of establishing and maintaining compliance with the GIPS standards, the firm has elected to define itself exclusive of wrap fee assets under management historically until 10/1/2013. Effective 10/1/2013 the firm has redefined itself to include wrap-fee assets under management. Previously, the firm included only institutional and high net worth accounts. The firm was redefined to include the wrap-fee business to reflect all business lines managed by the organization.  

The ESG Global Equity Composite was created on June 24, 2020 and has an inception date of October 1, 1999, and includes all discretionary portfolios managed in the ESG Global Equity style. The U.S. Dollar is the currency used to express valuations and performance.

Trillium ESG Global Equity strategy is designed to address the risks and opportunities created by the increasing constraints on natural capital. Time-weighted returns are presented for all periods net of trading costs and both net and gross of management fees, includes the reinvestment of all income, and is vested and calculated on a trade date basis.

Net-of-fee performance is calculated by utilizing gross-of-fee performance reduced by .65% annually, applied on a monthly basis. Individual performance will vary from that of the composite.

Lists, descriptions, and GIPS compliant presentations are available upon request for all Trillium performance composites.

The MSCI ACWI Index is a free float-adjusted market capitalization weighted index that is designed to measure the equity market performance of developed and emerging markets. It is not possible to invest directly in an index.

‍Past performance is no guarantee of future results. Every investment carries the potential for both profit and loss. The strategy’s ESG policy could cause it to make or avoid investments that could result in the strategy underperforming similar strategies that do not have an ESG policy.

Investments in smaller and medium companies generally carry greater risk than is customarily associated with larger companies for various reasons, such as narrower markets, limited financial resources and less liquid stock.  Investing in foreign securities is riskier than investing in domestic securities.
