HISTORY

Winslow, one of the oldest environmentally-focused investment firms in the country, was founded in 1983 by Jack Robinson. A lifelong environmentalist, Jack built a distinguished career in investment research and portfolio management at Prudential Securities, and later as the president of Rieger, Robinson and Harrington. In 1979, Jack served as the Chief Financial Officer of Garden Way, Inc., a private garden supply company, and saw that many of the company's most profitable products had 'green' attributes, such as utilization of recycled materials. Seeing the market potential for environmentally responsible products and services, he incorporated Winslow Management Company in 1983 with the mission of demonstrating that an environmentally-focused investment strategy could yield positive results for clients.

Over the past quarter-century, Winslow has developed extensive expertise in the field of green investing. It has developed a comprehensive portfolio management approach that integrates financial and environmental analysis. It has also expanded its knowledge of important green markets, such as renewable energy, energy efficiency, and green infrastructure, over many years of active investment in these sectors.

As it refined its investment approach between 1983 and 2001, Winslow built relationships with individual and institutional clients, including foundations, endowments, subadvisory relationships and pension plans. Over that time it managed assets in a proprietary green small cap growth style, offering separately managed accounts as well as a commingled trust fund for clients who could not meet the firm's separate account minimums. In 2001, the firm launched the Winslow Green Growth Fund (WGGFX), the first fund within the Winslow Green Mutual Funds family. Over the past ten years the firm has continued to add top-quality research analysts to its investment team. In 2009, Winslow joined with Brown Advisory, a full-service investment firm located in Baltimore, MD, providing additional benefits to Winslow’s clients in the form of access to Brown’s investment research and operational services teams. In partnership with Brown, the firm launched the Winslow Green Large Cap Strategy, a diversified equity strategy focused on companies that Winslow believes are ideally positioned to benefit from the ongoing transformation to a greener economy.

Today, Winslow is widely recognized as a pioneer in the rapidly growing field of green investing. Winslow and its investment staff are regularly featured in a wide variety of media, such as Time, Barron's, Kiplinger's, SmartMoney, Outside Magazine, Marketwatch.com, TheStreet.com, Forbes, Investment Advisor, CNBC, Bloomberg TV & Radio, and the Christian Science Monitor. The firm is a member of the American Council on Renewable Energy, the U.S. Green Building Council, the Ceres Coalition, and the Social Investment Forum; a signatory to the U.N.'s Principles for Responsible Investment (PRI), and an active supporter of the Carbon Disclosure Project and the Investor Network on Climate Risk.

Winslow celebrated its 25th anniversary in 2008, and the company looks forward to another quarter-century of helping its clients and shareholders to capitalize on the potential opportunities in green investing.

Diversification does not assure a profit or protect against loss in a declining market.

"Twenty five years of experience has convinced us that our green investing approach is about more than beliefs and values - it adds immeasurable value to our portfolio decisions."

-Jack Robinson, Winslow Mgmt.

Investment in growth stocks may be susceptible to rapid price swings, especially during periods of economic uncertainty. The Winslow Green Growth Fund ("the Fund") invests in small and medium capitalization companies, which present greater risk than larger companies due to limited product lines, markets and financial or managerial resources. The Fund invests in foreign securities, which present increased risk over U.S. investments in the form of currency fluctuation, different regulation, accounting standards, trading practices and levels of available information, generally higher transaction costs, and political risk; it also focuses on green solutions companies, which presents increased risk over a more diversified portfolio by limiting investment choices to a specific sector that may or may not perform as well as other industry sectors. Total return figures include reinvestment of investment income and capital gains. During the period, some of the Fund's fees were waived or expenses reimbursed; otherwise, total return would have been lower. Prior to April 1, 2001, Winslow Management Company managed a common trust fund (“CTF”) with investment objectives and policies that were, in all material respects, equivalent to the Fund. The Fund’s performance for periods before April 1, 2001 is that of the CTF and reflects the expenses of the CTF. If the CTF’s performance had been readjusted to reflect estimated expenses of the Fund for its first fiscal year, the performance would have been lower. The CTF was not registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (“1940 Act”) nor subject to certain investment limitations, diversification requirements, and other restrictions imposed by the 1940 Act and the Internal Revenue Code, which, if applicable, may have adversely affected the performance results.
