Boston Trust Midcap Fund (BTMFX)

Overview

The fund predominantly concentrates on investing in a broad array of equity securities, specifically targeting large and middle capitalization companies located within developed countries. This strategic focus on equity securities, including ordinary shares or common stock, forms the core of its investment philosophy. The fund operates under a general principle of investing at least 80% of its assets into this diversified portfolio, ensuring a significant commitment to its primary investment targets. To refine its investment strategy and identify potentially lucrative opportunities, the fund's adviser meticulously assesses how environmental, social, and governance (ESG) factors — considered financially material — could influence a company’s financial performance in terms of revenue, expenses, assets, liabilities, and inherent risks. This ESG-focused evaluation underpins the fund's approach to selecting investments that not only promise financial returns but also align with broader societal and environmental values.
