See the current prospectus for more information.

How can I track the Funds?

Many news and financial web sites report daily share prices using the Funds' ticker symbols. The Funds are also listed daily in some, though not all, newspapers. The Funds don't appear in every paper because many newspapers only list the largest 3,000 of the over 11,000 mutual funds in existence. Look for the listings GreenCnt Bal and GreenCnt Eq.


What are the ticker symbols for your funds?

The ticker symbol for the Balanced Fund is GCBLX. The ticker symbol for the Equity Fund is GCEQX.


How are dividends and capital gains paid?

Dividends, if any, are paid twice a year, typically in June and December. Capital gains, if any, are paid once a year, typically in December.

You may choose to have dividends and capital gains reinvested in your account or paid to you by check. Dividends and capital gains for retirement accounts must be reinvested rather thank paid by check.
