Disclosure of Fund Expenses December 31, 2022

As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur two types of costs: transaction costs, such as wire fees; and ongoing costs, including management fees and other Fund operating expenses. This example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.

 

This example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested on July 1, 2022 and held for the six-month period ended December 31, 2022.

 

Actual expenses

The first line of the table below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, together with the amount you invested at the beginning of the period, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first line under the heading “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.

 

Hypothetical example for comparison purposes

The second line of the table provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund’s actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of other funds.

 

Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs, such as wire fees or low balance fees. Therefore, the second line of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would be higher.

Notes to Financial Statements December 31, 2022

 

Note 1 – ORGANIZATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

The Quaker Investment Trust (the “Trust”), a diversified, open-end management investment company, was originally organized as a Massachusetts business trust on October 24, 1990, and was reorganized as a Delaware statutory trust on September 30, 2018. The Trust is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “Act”). The Trust’s Declaration of Trust permits the Trustees to issue an unlimited number of shares of beneficial interest for each of its series. Currently, the Trust offers two series: CCM Core Impact Equity Fund (“Core Impact Equity Fund”) and CCM Small/Mid-Cap Impact Value Fund (“Small/Mid-Cap Impact Value Fund”) (each a “Fund” and collectively, “Funds”). Both Funds are diversified. The investment objectives of each Fund are set forth below. Community Capital Management, LLC (“CCM” or “Adviser”) has managed the Funds since January 1, 2018.

 

Core Impact Equity Fund and Small/Mid-Cap Impact Value Fund commenced operations on November 25, 1996. The investment objective of these Funds is to seek long-term growth of capital. The investment objective of these Funds is non-fundamental in that this objective may be changed by the Board of Trustees (“Board” or “Trustees”) without shareholder approval.

 

The Funds offer two classes of shares: Advisor Class and Institutional Class. The Advisor Class shares are charged a distribution and service fee; and Institutional Class shares bear no distribution fee but have higher minimum investment thresholds. CCM has the ability to waive the minimum investment for Institutional Class shares at its discretion.

 

On February 1, 2019 the Trust amended and restated its Registration Statement to change each of the Funds’ performance reporting history. The inception date for each of the Fund’s performance reporting history is now January 1, 2018, the date CCM became the Adviser to the Funds.

 

Each Fund is an investment company and accordingly follows the investment company accounting and reporting guidance of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification Topic 946 “Financial Services – Investment Companies.” The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently followed by the Funds in the preparation of their financial statements. The policies are in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”).

 

Security Valuation. The Funds’ investments in securities are carried at market value. Securities listed on an exchange or quoted on a national market system are generally valued at the last quoted sales price at the time of valuation. Other securities traded in the over-the-counter market and listed securities for which no sale was reported on that date are valued at the most

 

 

26

Quaker Investment Trust

 

recent bid price. Each security reported on the NASDAQ National Market System is valued at the NASDAQ Official Closing Price.

 

Debt securities are valued by market bid quotation or independent pricing services which use bid prices provided by market makers or estimates of market values obtained from yield data relating to instruments or securities with similar characteristics. Discounts or premiums on debt securities are amortized to income over their prospective lives, using the effective interest method.

 

The Funds may hold foreign securities that trade on weekends or other days when the Fund does not price its shares. Therefore, the value of such securities may change on days when shareholders will not be able to purchase or redeem shares.

 

In accordance with the authoritative guidance on fair value measurements and disclosure under U.S. GAAP, the Fund discloses the fair value of its investments in a hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to evaluation techniques used to measure the fair value. The objective of a fair value measurement is to determine the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between willing market participants at the measurement date (an exit price). Accordingly, the fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3). The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are described below:

 

 

●

Level 1 — Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical, unrestricted assets or liabilities that the Fund has the ability to access at the measurement date;

 

 

●

Level 2 — Quoted prices which are not active, or inputs that are observable (either directly or indirectly) for substantially the full term of the asset or liability; and

 

 

●

Level 3 — Prices, inputs or exotic modeling techniques which are both significant to the fair value measurement and unobservable (supported by little or no market activity).

 

Investments are classified within the level of the lowest significant input considered in determining fair value. Investments classified within Level 3 whose fair value measurement considers several inputs may include Level 1 or Level 2 inputs as components of the overall fair value measurement.

 

For the six-month period ended December 31, 2022, there have been no significant changes to the Funds’ fair value methodologies.

 

Investment Income and Securities Transactions. Security transactions are accounted for on the date the securities are purchased or sold. Realized gains and losses on sales of investments are determined on the basis of the identified cost for both financial statement and federal income tax purposes. Dividend income is recognized on the ex-dividend date or as soon

 

 

(Unaudited)

27

 

as information is available to the Fund. Interest income is recognized on an accrual basis.

 

Determination of Net Asset Value and Calculation of Expenses. In calculating the net asset value (“NAV”) per share of the Fund, investment income, realized and unrealized gains and losses, and expenses are allocated daily to each share based upon the proportion of net assets of each share.

 

Federal Income Taxes. It is the policy of the Funds to comply with all requirements of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “IRC”) applicable to regulated investment companies and to distribute substantially all of its taxable income to its shareholders. Therefore, no Federal income tax provision is required.

 

Each Fund evaluates tax positions taken or expected to be taken in the course of preparing a Fund’s tax returns to determine whether it is “more-likely-than-not” (i.e., greater than 50-percent) that each tax position will be sustained upon examination by a taxing authority based on the technical merits of the position. Tax positions deemed to meet the more-likely-than-not threshold are recorded as a tax benefit in the current year. However, management’s conclusions regarding tax positions taken may be subject to review and adjustment at a later date based on factors including, but not limited to, examination by tax authorities (i.e., all open tax year ends, as applicable), ongoing analysis of and changes to tax laws, regulations and interpretations thereof.

 

Distributions to Shareholders. Each Fund generally declares dividends at least annually, payable in December, on a date selected by the Board. In addition, distributions may be made annually in December out of net realized gains through October 31 of that calendar year. Distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Each Fund may make a supplemental distribution subsequent to the end of its fiscal year ending June 30. Income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from U.S. GAAP.

 

Use of Estimates. In preparing financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP, management makes estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, as well as the reported amount of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

Indemnifications. Under each Fund’s organizational documents, its officers and Trustees are indemnified against certain liabilities arising out of the performance of their duties to the Fund. In the normal course of business, each Fund enters into contracts that contain a variety of representations that provide general indemnifications. Each Fund’s maximum liability exposure under these arrangements is unknown, as future claims that have not yet occurred may be made against the Fund. However, based on experience, the Fund expects the risk of loss to be remote.

Pursuant to this agreement, CCM is entitled to recoup any fees that it waived and/or the Fund expenses that it paid for a period of three years following such fee waivers and expense payments, to the extent that such recoupment by CCM will not cause the Fund to exceed any applicable expense limitation that was in place when the fees were waived or expenses were paid. These waivers and reimbursements may be terminated at any time with respect to the Fund by the Board upon (60) days written notice to CCM without payment of any penalty and shall automatically terminate upon the termination of the Fund’s advisory contract with CCM.

Foreside Fund Services, LLC (“Distributor”) serves as principal underwriter for the Trust. The Trust has adopted distribution and shareholder servicing plans pursuant to Rule 12b-1 of the 1940 Act for Advisor Class shares described below. There is no Rule 12b-1 distribution plan for Institutional Class shares of the Funds.

The Advisor Class Plan also allows the Fund to pay or reimburse expenditures in connection with sales and promotional services related to distribution of the Fund’s shares, including personal services provided to prospective and existing shareholders. Effective September 30, 2018, the Class C shares were merged into the Advisor Class shares. For the six-month period ended December 31, 2022, Rule 12b-1 fees incurred are disclosed on the statements of operations for each Fund.

Each Fund, in pursuing its investment objective, is subject to risks. The following is a summary of certain of the risks, and a more complete list can be found in the Fund’s most recent prospectus:

 

Impact/ESG Risk: The Adviser may select or exclude securities of certain companies for reasons other than performance and, as a result, the Fund may underperform other funds that do not use an impact/ESG screening process. Impact/ESG investing is qualitative and subjective by nature. There is no guarantee that impact/ESG criteria used by the Adviser will reflect beliefs or values of any particular investor.

 

Common Stock Risk: Common stock risks include the financial risk of selecting individual companies that do not perform as anticipated, the risk that the stock markets in which the Fund invests may experience periods of turbulence and instability, and the general risk that domestic and global economies may go through periods of decline and cyclical change.

 

Growth Risk: There is a risk that the Fund’s growth style may perform poorly or fall out of favor with investors. For example, at times the market may favor large capitalization stocks over small capitalization stocks, value stocks over growth stocks, or vice versa.

 

Small-Cap and Mid-Cap Securities Risk: The Fund invests in companies with small market capitalizations. Because these companies are relatively small compared to large-capitalization companies, they may be engaged in business mostly within their own geographic region, may be less well known to the investment community, and may have more volatile share prices. Also, small companies often have less liquidity, less management depth, narrower market penetrations, less diverse product lines and fewer resources than larger companies. As a result, small-capitalization stock prices have greater volatility than large company securities.

 

Value Securities Risk: The Fund invests in companies that appear to be "undervalued" in the marketplace (i.e., trading at prices below the company's true worth). If the Adviser's perceptions of value are wrong, the securities purchased may not perform as expected, reducing the Fund's return.

 

Foreign Securities Risk: Investments in foreign securities involve greater risks compared to domestic investments for the following reasons: foreign companies may not be subject to the regulatory requirements of U.S. companies, so there may be less publicly available information about foreign issuers than U.S. companies; foreign companies generally are not subject to uniform accounting, auditing and financial reporting standards; dividends and interest on foreign securities may be subject to foreign withholding taxes; such taxes may reduce the net return to Fund shareholders; foreign securities are often denominated in a currency other than the U.S. dollar, which will subject the Fund to the risks associated with fluctuations in currency values.

Management Risk: The Fund is subject to management risk because it is an actively managed investment portfolio. The Adviser will apply its investment techniques and risk analyses, including tactical allocation strategies, in making investment decisions for the Fund, but there is no guarantee that its decisions will produce the intended result.

 

Liquidity Risk: This is the risk that the market for a security or other investment cannot accommodate an order to buy or sell the security or other investment in the desired time frame and/or at the desired price. The values of illiquid investments are often more volatile than the values of more liquid investments. It may be more difficult for the Fund to determine a fair value of an illiquid investment than that of a more liquid comparable investment.

 

Master Limited Partnership Risk: The Fund’s exposure to master limited partnerships (MLP) may subject the Fund to greater volatility than investments in traditional securities. The value of MLP and MLP based exchange traded funds and notes may be affected by changes in overall market movements, commodity index volatility, changes in interest rates, or sectors affecting a particular industry or commodity, such as drought, floods, weather, livestock disease, embargoes, tariffs, and international economic, political and regulatory developments.

 

Real Estate Investment Trust Risk: The Fund may have investments in securities issued by, and/or have exposure to, commercial and residential real estate companies. Real estate securities are subject to risks similar to those associated with direct ownership of real estate, including changes in local and general economic conditions, vacancy rates, interest rates, zoning laws, rental income, property taxes, operating expenses and losses from casualty or condemnation. An investment in a REIT is subject to additional risks, including poor performance by the manager of the REIT, adverse tax consequences, and limited diversification resulting from being invested in a limited number or type of properties or a narrow geographic area.

 

Recent Market Events Risk: U.S. and international markets have experienced significant periods of volatility in recent years and months due to a number of economic, political and global macro factors including the impact of the coronavirus (COVID-19) as a global pandemic, which has resulted in public health issues, growth concerns in the U.S. and overseas, layoffs, rising unemployment and reduced consumer spending. The effects of COVID-19 may lead to a substantial economic downturn or recession in the U.S. and global economies, the recovery from which is uncertain and may last for an extended period of time. As a result of this significant volatility, many of the risks discussed herein associated with an investment in the Fund may be increased.

 

Note 6 – INDEMNIFICATIONS

 

Under the Trust’s organizational documents, its officers and Trustees are indemnified against certain liabilities arising out of the performance of their

 

 

34

Quaker Investment Trust

 

duties to the Funds. In addition, in the normal course of business, the Trust enters into contracts with its vendors and others that provide for general indemnifications.

 

The Trust’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is dependent on future claims that may be made against the Trust, and, therefore, cannot be estimated; however, based on experience, risk of loss from such claims is considered remote.

 

Note 7 – SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

 

The Funds have evaluated the need for additional disclosures and/or adjustments resulting from subsequent events. Based on this evaluation, no additional disclosures or adjustments were required to the financial statements.

Approval of Advisory Agreement December 31, 2022 (Unaudited)

 

At a meeting held on September 9, 2022 (the “Meeting”) the Board of Trustees (the (“Board” or the “Trustees”) considered the continuation of the Investment Advisory Agreement between the Trust and Community Capital Management, LLC (the “Adviser” or “CCM”) (the “Advisory Agreement”). At the meeting, the Trustees who are not “interested persons” (as defined in the 1940 Act) reported to the full Board their considerations with respect to the Agreements, and the Board, including a majority of Independent Trustees considered and approved the renewal of the Agreement. The renewal of the Advisory Agreement is effective through September 2023.


In considering the continuation of the Advisory Agreement, the Independent Trustees reviewed and considered information provided by the Adviser at the Meeting and throughout the year at meetings of the Board and its committees. The Independent Trustees also reviewed and considered information provided in response to a detailed set of requests for information submitted to the Adviser by Independent Trustee counsel on behalf of the Independent Trustees in connection with the annual contract renewal process. The Independent Trustees reviewed and considered all of the factors they deemed relevant in approving the continuance of the Advisory Agreement, including, but not limited to: (i) the nature, extent and quality of the services provided by the Adviser; (ii) the investment performance of each Fund; (iii) the costs of the services provided and profits realized by the Adviser from the relationship with each Fund; (iv) the extent to which economies of scale and fall out benefits are realized as each Fund grows.


Following the Independent Trustees’ discussion, the Board, including a majority of the Independent Trustees, determined to approve the continuation of the Advisory Agreement as follows:


In approving the continuance of the Advisory Agreement, the Board, including a majority of the Independent Trustees, determined that the terms of the Advisory Agreement is fair and reasonable and that the approval of such Agreement is in the best interests of the applicable Fund and its shareholders. While attention was given to all information furnished, the following discusses some primary

 

36

Quaker Investment Trust

 

factors relevant to the Board’s determination.


Nature, Extent and Quality of Services. The Board reviewed and considered information regarding the nature, extent and quality of investment management services provided by the Adviser to the respective Fund and its shareholders. The Board reviewed and considered information that included, among other things, descriptions of the Adviser’s business, personnel, and operations, including the Adviser’s business continuity plan, the experience and responsibilities of the Adviser’s investment professionals, compensation of investment professionals; the services the Adviser provides to the Funds; the Adviser’s compliance program; and the monitoring of various service providers to the Funds.

Following consideration of such information, the Board was satisfied with the nature, extent and quality of services provided by the Adviser to the respective Funds and their shareholders.


Fund Performance. The Board reviewed and considered the performance results of each Fund over the one- and three-year periods and since the Adviser began managing the Funds on January 1, 2018. Morningstar, Inc., an independent provider of investment company data, provided the Adviser with the relevant data comparing each Fund’s performance to that of its respective category peers. The Board also reviewed and considered the performance returns for each Fund in comparison to a broad-based performance index. The Board further reviewed and considered Fund performance reports provided and discussions that occurred with portfolio managers at Board meetings throughout the year, including at the contract renewal meeting.


CCM Core Impact Equity Fund: The peer group for the Fund was the Morningstar Large Cap Blend Category (Institutional Class Shares) and the performance index for the Fund was the S&P 500 Fossil Fuel Free Index. The Board noted that the Fund had underperformed its category and index for the one-year period, underperformed the index for the 3-year period and the period since the Adviser had taken over responsibility for managing the Fund while outperforming its peer group for the 3-year period. The Board noted the volatile market conditions during the past year, the

 

(Unaudited)

37

 

impact of the global events, and the Adviser’s efforts to reduce Fund expenses. The Board took into account the peer group is not fossil free and, when compared to peers that have fossil free policies, the Fund’s one-year returns were in-line with its peers. The Board concluded that the Adviser’s efforts to improve the Fund’s performance were acceptable.


CCM Small/Mid-Cap Impact Value Fund: The peer group for the Fund was the Morningstar Small Value Category (Institutional Class Shares) and the performance indexes for the Fund were the Russell 2500 Value Total Return Index and the Russell 2500 Index. The Fund significantly outperformed the indexes and peer category for the one-year period. The Board noted the Fund has underperformed the indexes and peer category for the 3-year period and since the Adviser had taken over responsibility for managing the Fund. The Board noted that the Fund had experienced strong calendar year performance in 2019 and 2021, and though 2020 was a difficult year, the Fund had performed positively in the fourth quarter. The Board noted the Adviser’s decision to change portfolio managers in May 2021 which had led to the strong one-year performance of the Fund. The Board concluded that the Adviser’s efforts to improve the Fund’s performance were acceptable.


Comparative Fees and Expenses. The Board reviewed and considered information regarding each Fund’s actual total expense ratio and its various components, including, as applicable, management fees; underlying fund expenses; Rule 12b-1 and non-Rule 12b-1 service fees; and other non-management fees. Although the Board noted the Funds’ higher expenses relative to their Morningstar peer categories, the Board recognized the small asset base of each Fund impacted the ability to spread fixed costs across its respective shareholder base. The Board acknowledged the Adviser’s efforts to increase each Fund’s distribution channels and profile among financial intermediaries to seek to increase its asset base. The Board acknowledged the Adviser’s efforts to responsibly seek to reduce the Funds’ expenses by transitioning the Funds to a new fund accountant and transfer agent. The Board noted that the expense ratio for the CCM Core Impact Equity Fund

 

38

Quaker Investment Trust

 

had decreased from the prior year. The Board also acknowledged the Adviser’s implementation of a fee waiver agreement to reduce the CCM Smid-Cap Value Fund’s net expense ratio, which agreement the Adviser had agreed to contractually renew for another year. While intending to continuously monitor the fee structure of each Fund, the Board found the fee structure of each Fund to be acceptable in light of the services provided and the Adviser’s commitment to reducing expenses and growing the Funds.


Profitability and Fall-Out Benefits. The Board considered possible costs, profitability and any “fall out” or ancillary benefits that may accrue to the Adviser as a result of its proposed relationship with the Funds. The Board considered information provided by the Adviser about its profitability in managing each Fund. The information indicated that the Adviser had earned a pre-tax profit with respect to the CCM Core Impact Equity Fund and realized a significant pre-tax loss managing the CCM Smid-Cap Value Fund. The Board noted management’s expenditures in implementing systems and meeting additional regulatory and compliance requirements resulting from recent SEC and other regulatory requirements. Based on the size of the Funds and/or the waiver of fees and expenses, as well as the other profitability information provided to them, the Board did not believe that the level of profit, if any, being realized by the Adviser from services provided to the Funds was excessive. Moreover, based on the discussions with representatives of the Adviser and the relative size of the Funds, the Board concluded that there did not appear to be any significant fall-out benefits from managing the Funds.


Economies of Scale. The Board reviewed and considered the extent to which the Adviser may realize economies of scale, if any, as each Fund grows larger and whether each Fund’s management fee structure reflects any economies of scale for the benefit of shareholders. The Board noted that the Adviser assumed management responsibility for both Funds effective January 1, 2018 and that, as of September 2022, the Funds’ combined assets were less than $100 million. The Board recognized that there would not likely be any economies of scale until each Fund’s assets grow to scale.

Conclusion. Based on its review, consideration and evaluation of all factors it believed relevant, including the above-described factors and conclusions, the Board unanimously approved the continuation of the Advisory Agreement for an additional one-year period.

Liquidity Risk Management Program December 31, 2022 (Unaudited)

 

In accordance with Rule 22e-4 under the 1940 Act, the Trust has adopted and implemented a liquidity risk management program (the (“Program”). The Program seeks to promote effective liquidity risk management for the Trust and to protect the Funds’ shareholders from dilution of their interests. The Board has appointed the Adviser as the program administrator (the “Program Administrator”). The Program Administrator has further delegated administration of the Program to the Adviser’s Investment Trading and Valuation Committee. The Chief Compliance Officer (CCO) of the Adviser and the Trust is required to provide an annual report to the Board regarding the adequacy and effectiveness of the Program, including the operation of the highly liquid investment minimum (“HLIM”), if applicable and any material changes to the Program.


At the Trust’s September 2022 board meeting, the CCO reviewed the Program Administrator’s annual written assessment of the Funds’ liquidity risk management program. Reminding the Board that the purpose of the Program is to assess each Fund’s liquidity risk under both normal and reasonably foreseeable stressed market conditions. She explained that the Funds’ Program Administrator uses ICE Data Services, a third-party vendor, to provide portfolio investment classification services, and the Report noted that each of the Fund’s primarily held investments that were classified as highly liquid during the review period of July 1, 2021 until June 30, 2022. The Report noted that the Funds’ portfolios are expected to continue to hold highly liquid investments and be considered as “primarily highly liquid funds” (as defined in the Program) and can therefore continue to rely on the exclusion in Rule 22e-4 from the requirements to determine and review a HLIM for the Funds and to adopt policies and procedures for responding to a HLIM shortfall. The Funds did not hold a significant portion of illiquid investments and the Funds were not required to file Form NLIQUID during the review period. The Report noted that no material changes had been made to the Program since the Board’s last approval of the Program.


The Program Administrator concluded that the Funds have been able to meet redemption needs in all market conditions during the review period without dilution to the Fund’s remaining investors. The Program Administrator determined that the Program is

adequately designed, is functioning effectively, and no adjustments were warranted.
