Frequently asked questions
Who runs investment decisions at Domini Impact Investments?
Amy Domini is the founder and controlling shareholder. Carole Laible has served as CEO since 2014. Day-to-day portfolio management is handled by internal investment teams following the firm's social-screening mandates (per public record).
How does Domini source its investment ideas and apply its impact criteria?

It also uses positive overlays such as community-investment funds that support underserved areas (per the firm's prospectus).

The Domini Impact Equality Index is a benchmark that tracks the performance of the firm's social-screened equity strategy. It was created in 2000 and is rebalanced periodically to reflect the firm's ESG screens.
What is Domini's known posture on co-investments alongside external GPs?
Domini Impact Investments does not typically co-invest alongside external general partners. Its core business is managing its own mutual fund vehicles and separate accounts rather than engaging in direct or co-investment deal flow.
