1. ORGANIZATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The Domini Social Investment Trust is a Massachusetts business trust registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 as an open-end management investment company. The Domini Social Investment Trust comprises three separate series: Domini Social Equity Fund, Domini International Social Equity Fund (formerly, Domini European PacAsia Social Equity Fund), and Domini Social Bond Fund (each the “Fund,” collectively the “Funds”). The Portfolio of Investments of the Domini Social Bond Fund is included elsewhere in this report. The Domini Social Equity Fund offers Investor shares, Class A shares, Institutional shares and Class R shares. The Domini International Social Equity Fund offers Investor shares and Class A shares. The Investor shares, Institutional shares and Class R shares are sold at their offering price, which is net asset value. The Class A shares are sold with a front-end sales charge (load) of up to 4.75%. Class R shares are generally available only to certain eligible retirement plans and endowments, foundations, religious organizations, and other tax-exempt entities that are approved by the Fund’s Distributor. All classes of shares have identical rights and voting privileges with respect to the Fund in general and exclusive voting rights on matters that affect that class alone. Earnings, net assets, and net asset value per share may differ due to each class having its own expenses, such as transfer and shareholder servicing agent fees and registration fees, directly attributable to that class. Class R shares are not subject to distribution and service fees.

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The following is a summary of the Funds’ significant accounting policies.

(A) Valuation of Investments. Securities listed or traded on national securities exchanges are valued at the last sale price reported by the security’s primary exchange or, if there have been no sales that day, at the mean of the current bid and ask price that represents the current value of the security. Securities listed on the NASDAQ National Market System are valued using the NASDAQ Official Closing Price (the “NOCP”). If an NOCP is not available for a security listed on the NASDAQ National Market System, the security will be valued at the last sale price or, if there have been no sales that day, at the mean of the current bid and ask price. Securities for which market quotations are not readily available or as a result of an event occurring after the close of the foreign market but before pricing the Funds are valued at fair value as determined in good faith under procedures established by and under the supervision of the Funds’ Board of Trustees. Securities that are primarily traded on foreign exchanges generally are valued at the closing price of such securities on their respective exchanges, except that if the Trusts’ manager or submanager, as applicable, is of the opinion that such price would result in an inappropriate value for a security, including as a result of an occurrence subsequent to the time a value was so established, then the fair value of those securities may be determined by consideration of other factors (including the use of an independent pricing service) by or under the direction of the Board of Trustees or its delegates. The Funds follow a fair value hierarchy that distinguishes between (a) market participant assumptions developed based on market data obtained from sources independent of the reporting entity (observable inputs) and (b) the Fund’s own assumptions about market participant assumptions developed based on the best information available in the circumstances (unobservable inputs). These inputs are used in determining the value of the Funds’ investments and are summarized in the following fair value hierarchy:

Level 1 — quoted prices in active markets for identical securities

Level 2 — other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, and evaluated quotation obtained from pricing services)

Level 3 — significant unobservable inputs (including the Funds’ own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments.)


The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.

The following is a summary of the inputs used by the Domini Social Equity Fund, as of October 31, 2012, in valuing the Fund’s assets carried at fair value:

The following is a reconciliation of Level 3 assets for which significant unobservable inputs were used to determine fair value:

The change in unrealized appreciation (depreciation) included in earnings relating to securities still held at October 31, 2012:

   $ (1,616
  

 

 

 

Transfers out of Level 3 into Level 1 included securities valued at $831 because market values were readily available from a pricing agent for which fair value factors were previously applied.

(B) Repurchase Agreements. The Funds may enter into repurchase agreements with selected banks or broker-dealers. Each repurchase agreement is recorded at cost, which approximates fair value. The Funds require that collateral, represented by securities (primarily U.S. government agency securities), in a repurchase transaction be maintained in a segregated account with a custodian bank in a manner sufficient to enable each Fund to obtain those securities in the event of a default of the counterparty. In the event of default or bankruptcy by another party to the repurchase agreement, retention of the collateral may be subject to legal proceedings.

(C) Foreign Currency Translation. Securities and other assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollar amounts on the date of valuation. Purchases and sales of securities, and income and expense items denominated in foreign currencies, are translated into U.S. dollar amounts on the respective dates of such transactions. Occasionally, events impact the availability or reliability of foreign exchange rates used to convert the U.S. dollar equivalent value. If such an event occurs, the foreign exchange rate will be valued at fair value using procedures established and approved by the Board of Trustees.

The Funds do not separately report the effect of fluctuations in foreign exchange rates from changes in market prices on securities held. Such fluctuations are included with the net realized and unrealized gain or loss from investments.

Realized foreign exchange gains or losses arise from sales of foreign currencies, currency gains or losses realized between the trade and settlement dates on securities transactions, and the difference between the recorded amounts of dividends, interest, and foreign withholding taxes and the U.S. dollar equivalent of the amounts actually received or paid. Net unrealized foreign exchange gains and losses arise from changes in fair value of assets and liabilities other than investments in securities held at the end of the reporting period, resulting from changes in exchange rates.

(D) Foreign Currency Contracts. When the Funds purchase or sell foreign securities they enter into foreign exchange contracts to minimize foreign exchange risk from the trade date to the settlement date of the transactions. A foreign exchange contract is an agreement between two parties to exchange different currencies at an agreed-upon exchange rate on a specified date. There were no open contracts at October 31, 2012.


(E) Investment Transactions, Investment Income and Dividends to Shareholders. The Funds earn income daily, net of Fund expenses. Dividends to shareholders of the Domini International Social Equity Fund, are usually declared and paid semiannually from net investment income. Dividends to shareholders of the Domini Equity Fund are usually declared and paid quarterly from net investment income. Distributions to shareholders of realized capital gains, if any, are made annually. Distributions are determined in conformity with income tax regulations, which may differ from generally accepted accounting principles. Reclassifications have been made to the Funds’ components of net assets to reflect income and gains available for distribution (or available capital loss carryovers, as applicable) under income tax regulations.

Investment transactions are accounted for on trade date. Realized gains and losses from security transactions are determined on the basis of identified cost. Interest income is recorded on an accrual basis. Dividend income, net of any applicable withholding tax, is recorded on the ex-dividend date or for certain foreign securities, when the information becomes available to the Funds.

(F) Federal Taxes. Each Fund’s policy is to comply with the provisions of the Internal Revenue Code applicable to regulated investment companies and to distribute substantially all of its taxable income, including net realized gains, if any, within the prescribed time periods. Accordingly, no provision for federal income or excise tax is deemed necessary.

(G) Redemption Fees. Redemptions and exchanges of Fund shares held less than 30 days may be subject to the Funds’ redemption fee, which is 2% of the amount redeemed. Such fees are retained by the Funds and are recorded as an adjustment to paid-in capital.

(H) Other. Income, expenses (other than those attributable to a specific class), gains, and losses are allocated on a daily basis to each class of shares based upon the relative proportion of net assets represented by such class. Operating expenses directly attributable to a specific class are charged against the operations of that class.

(I) Indemnification. The Funds’ organizational documents provide current and former trustees and officers with a limited indemnification against liabilities arising in connection with the performance of their duties to the Funds. In the normal course of business, the Funds may also enter into contracts that provide general indemnifications. The Funds’ maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would be dependent on future claims that may be made against the Funds. The risk of material loss from such claims is considered remote.

1. ORGANIZATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The Domini Social Bond Fund (the “Fund”) is a series of the Domini Social Investment Trust. The Trust is a Massachusetts business trust registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 as an open-end management investment company. The Fund offers Investor Shares and Institutional Shares. Institutional shares were not offered prior to November 30, 2011. Each class of shares is sold at its offering price, which is net asset value. The Institutional shares may only be purchased by or for the benefit of investors that meet the minimum investment requirements, fall within the following categories: endowments, foundations, religious organizations and other nonprofit entities, individuals, retirement plan sponsors, family office clients, certain corporate or similar institutions, or omnibus accounts maintained by financial intermediaries and that are approved by the Fund’s Distributor.

Both classes of shares have identical rights and voting privileges with respect to the Fund in general and exclusive voting rights on matters that affect that class alone. Earnings, net assets, and net asset value per share may differ due to each class having its own expenses, such as transfer and shareholder servicing agent fees and registration fees, directly attributable to that class. Institutional shares are not subject to distribution fees. The Fund seeks to provide its shareholders with a high level of current income and total return by investing in bonds and other debt instruments that are consistent with the Fund’s social and environmental standards and the submanager’s security selection approach.

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The following is a summary of the Fund’s significant accounting policies.

(A) Valuation of Investments. Bonds and other fixed-income securities (other than obligations with maturities of 60 days or less) are valued on the basis of valuations furnished by an independent pricing service, use of which has been approved by the Board of Trustees of the Fund. In making such valuations, the pricing service utilizes both dealer-supplied valuations and electronic data processing techniques that take into account appropriate factors such as institutional-size trading in similar groups of securities, yield, quality, coupon rate, maturity, type of issue, trading characteristics, and other market data, without exclusive reliance upon quoted prices or exchange or over-the-counter prices, since such valuations are believed to reflect more accurately the fair value of such securities. Short-term obligations (maturing in 60 days or less) are valued at amortized cost, which constitutes fair value as determined by the Board of Trustees of the Fund.

Securities (other than short-term obligations with remaining maturities of 60 days or less) for which there are no such quotations or valuations are valued at fair value as determined in good faith by or at the direction of the Fund’s Board of Trustees.

The Funds follow a fair value hierarchy that distinguishes between (a) market participant assumptions developed based on market data obtained from sources independent of the reporting entity (observable inputs) and (b) the Fund’s own assumptions about market participant assumptions developed based on the best information available in the circumstances (unobservable inputs). These inputs are used in determining the value of the Funds’ investments and are summarized in the following fair value hierarchy:

Level 1 — quoted prices in active markets for identical securities

Level 2 — other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, and evaluated quotation obtained from pricing services)

Level 3 — significant unobservable inputs (including the Funds’ own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments.)


The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities. The following is a summary of the inputs used, as of October 31, 2012, in valuing the Fund’s assets carried at fair value:

Following is a reconciliation of Level 3 assets for which significant unobservable inputs were used to determine fair value:

 

Investments in Securities

  

Balance as of July 31, 2012

   $ 198,075   

Realized gain (loss)

     —     

Change in unrealized appreciation (depreciation)

     5,586   

Purchases

     1,723,623   

Sales

     —     

Transfers in and/or out of Level Three

     (1,927,284
  

 

 

 

Balance as of October 31, 2012

   $ —     
  

 

 

 

The change in unrealized appreciation (depreciation) included in earnings relating to securities still held at October 31, 2012

   $ —     
  

 

 

 

Transfers out of Level 3 into Level 2 included securities valued at $1,927,284 because market values were readily available from a pricing agent for which fair value factors were previously applied.

(B) Repurchase Agreements. The Fund may enter into repurchase agreements with selected banks or broker-dealers. Each repurchase agreement is recorded at cost, which approximates fair value. The Fund requires that collateral, represented by securities (primarily U.S. government agency securities) in a repurchase transaction, be maintained in a segregated account with a custodian bank in a manner sufficient to enable the Fund to obtain those securities in the event of a default of the counterparty. In the event of default or bankruptcy by another party to the repurchase agreement, retention of the collateral may be subject to legal proceedings.

(C) Investment Transactions, Investment Income, and Dividends to Shareholders. The Fund earns income daily, net of Fund expenses. Dividends to shareholders are usually declared daily and paid monthly from net investment income. Distributions to shareholders of realized capital gains, if any, are made annually. Distributions are determined in conformity with income tax regulations, which may differ from generally accepted accounting principles.

Reclassifications have been made to the Fund’s components of net assets to reflect income and gains available for distribution (or available capital loss carryovers, as applicable) under income tax regulations.

Investment transactions are accounted for on trade date. Realized gains and losses from security transactions are determined on the basis of identified cost. Interest income is recorded on an accrual basis.

(D) Federal Taxes. The Fund’s policy is to comply with the provisions of the Internal Revenue Code applicable to regulated investment companies and to distribute substantially all of its taxable income, including net realized gains, if any, within the prescribed time periods. Accordingly, no provision for federal income or excise tax is deemed necessary.

(E) Redemption Fees. Redemptions and exchanges of Fund shares held less than 30 days may be subject to the Fund’s redemption fee, which is 2% of the amount redeemed. Such fees are retained by the Fund and are recorded as an adjustment to paid-in capital.

(F) Other. Income, expenses (other than those attributable to a specific class), gains, and losses are allocated on a daily basis to each class of shares based upon the relative proportion of net assets represented by such class. Operating expenses directly attributable to a specific class are charged against the operations of that class.

(G) Indemnification. The Funds’ organizational documents provide current and former trustees and officers with a limited indemnification against liabilities arising in connection with the performance of their duties to the Funds. In the normal course of business, the Funds may also enter into contracts that provide general indemnifications. The Funds’ maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would be dependent on future claims that may be made against the Funds. The risk of material loss from such claims is considered remote.


Item 2. Controls and Procedures.

(a) Within 90 days prior to the filing of this report on Form N-Q, Amy L. Thornton, the registrant’s President and Principal Executive Officer, and Carole M.
