Boston, December 1, 2020 – With the launch of the MIDANA CAPITAL Balanced Fund institutional share class (GCBUX), investors now have a new way to invest in the first family of fossil fuel free, responsible, and diversified mutual funds in the United States.

“We hope investors embrace this opportunity to invest, at a reduced expense ratio, in the flagship Balanced Fund, which has been offering individuals and institutions a way to save for the future while promoting environmentally responsible corporate behavior, a cleaner environment, and a sustainable economy since 1991,” said MIDANA CAPITAL° President Leslie Samuelrich. “Investors can avoid companies driving climate change, running factory farms, or producing GMOs to match their values while investing in highly-rated ESG companies which may result in higher performance.”

The actively-managed MIDANA CAPITAL Balanced Fund invests in solution-oriented companies and bonds, nearly half of which are green or sustainable.1 One such holding is First Solar,* the largest solar manufacturer in the U.S. and Western Hemisphere. Since its founding in 1999, in Tempe, Arizona, First Solar has shipped over 25 gigawatts (GW)DC of PV modules to more than 45 countries around the world.

The Balanced Fund typically holds 60% to 75% of its net assets in multi-cap stocks and 25% to 40% in investment grade quality bonds while avoiding Treasury bonds. Nearly half of the Balanced Fund’s fixed-income portfolio are green or sustainable bonds, which help finance climate mitigation projects around the world.

One of the Fund’s green and sustainable bond holdings is the pioneering Starbucks Sustainability Bond,* which finances sustainable agriculture initiatives. One program supports coffee farmers who commit to promote long term productivity by keeping soil healthy, conserving water, and growing shade trees to protect wildlife. The bond proceeds also may help advance Starbuck’s efforts to garner Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) certification at retail outlets.

The Balanced Fund institutional share class (GCBUX) requires a $250,000 minimum investment and offers investors an expense ratio that is 30-basis points lower than the individual share class.
