Fund Description

The Parnassus Value Equity Fund’s objective is to achieve capital appreciation by investing primarily in a diversified portfolio of equity securities. Equity securities include common and preferred stock. Under normal circumstances, the Fund will invest a minimum of 80% of its net assets (plus borrowings for investment purposes) in equity securities. These companies must, in the Adviser’s opinion, be undervalued, but they must also have good prospects for long-term capital appreciation over the course of the expected holding period. The Parnassus Value Equity Fund is primarily a large-cap fund, which means that it normally invests more than half of its net assets in large, well-established companies. The Fund may invest to a lesser extent in small-and mid-capitalization companies. The Fund may purchase foreign securities directly on foreign markets. The Fund invests mainly in domestic stocks of companies that are financially sound and have good prospects for the future, and to a lesser extent may also invest in foreign securities of
similar companies. The Fund applies a fossil-fuel free investment strategy, meaning that it does not invest in companies that derive significant revenues from the extraction, exploration, production or refining of fossil fuels. Pursuant to the strategy, the Fund may invest in companies that use fossil fuel-based energy to power their operations or for other purposes. The Fund defines “significant revenues” as being 10% or greater. To determine a company’s prospects, the Fund’s investment adviser, Parnassus Investments, LLC (the “Adviser”), reviews the company’s income statement, cash flow statement and balance sheet, and analyzes the company’s sustainable strategic advantage and management team. Upon initial investment, a company’s stock must be deemed to represent relative value. To determine whether the company demonstrates relative value, the Adviser considers the companies valuation relative to its own valuation history and relative to similar companies operating in the same industry. The Adviser also takes environmental, social and governance (“ESG”) factors into account in making investment decisions, as discussed in more detail in the prospectus. The Fund will sell a security if the Adviser believes a company’s fundamentals will deteriorate, if it believes a company’s stock has little potential for appreciation or if the company no longer meets the Adviser’s ESG expectations.
