NEW COVENANT FUNDS ANNUAL REPORT
Letter to Shareholders
 
 
Dear Shareholders:
 
We are pleased to present this annual report covering the 12-month period between July 1, 2007 and June 30, 2008. The economy slowed considerably but continued to expand, while stocks posted substantial losses. The bond market generated strong gains on the whole, but experienced high levels of volatility.
 
The economy faced a confluence of headwinds during this fiscal year. Rising defaults on subprime mortgages caused institutions to become much more cautious about lending, leading to a credit and liquidity crunch that slowed the economy. The subprime mortgage crisis also undermined the balance sheets of many large financial institutions, calling into question the health of parts of the financial system. Tighter credit meanwhile exacerbated the recession in the housing market, which saw home prices drop, inventory rise and activity slow during this period.
 
Prices on energy, food and other commodities surged. A number of factors contributed to the run-up in the cost of raw materials, including powerful demand from China and other developing economies, the conversion of farmland from food-crop production to biofuel production, a weaker dollar, and concerns about commodity supplies due to weather and geopolitical factors. Higher commodities costs led to concerns about higher inflation by the end of the period.
 
Falling home prices, tighter credit and higher food and energy costs weighed on consumers. Consumers also faced a weaker job market, as corporations expecting slower economic growth reduced their hiring. These factors sent consumer confidence to its lowest point in more than a decade. Nevertheless, consumer spending held up better than many economists had expected—in part due to the federal government’s economic stimulus package—helping the economy avoid contraction.
 
Other factors buoyed the economy as well. The Federal Reserve reduced its target short-term interest rate eight times during this 12-month period, from 5.25% to 2.00%. The Fed also orchestrated the buyout of troubled securities firm Bear Stearns in order to shore up the health of the financial system. A weaker dollar meanwhile supported strong exports, as U.S. firms’ products and services became more competitive and revenues earned in foreign currencies became more valuable.
 
The stock market experienced broad declines during the 12 months through June, 2008. The large-cap S&P 500 fell −13.11%, while the Russell 2000 index of small- and mid-cap stocks lost −16.19% and the dollar-denominated MSCI All Country World ex-U.S. Index declined −6.2%.
 
The financial sector led the stock market’s declines, as investors concerned about the possible repercussions of the subprime crisis and the credit crunch fled financial stocks. Consumer discretionary stocks also suffered, due to the combination of factors crimping consumer spending. Stocks in the energy and materials sectors meanwhile performed well, on the whole, as skyrocketing commodities prices increased profits for firms related to raw materials.
 
Large stocks generally outperformed smaller stocks. That trend occurred in part because investors favored shares of firms with the ability to generate their own financing—for example, through cash reserves or current revenues—over stocks of companies that relied on borrowing. Larger firms also provided somewhat greater exposure to overseas markets, which offered stronger growth and more-valuable currencies.
 
Growth stocks held up much better than value stocks during this difficult environment: The Russell 3000 Growth Index, which includes shares of large, medium-sized and small growth-oriented firms, lost −6.38%, while its value-oriented counterpart, the Russell 3000 Value Index, fell −19.02%. Financial stocks, which comprise a large portion of the value index, were the greatest contributor to that benchmark’s declines.
 
The fixed-income markets posted strong overall returns despite periods of volatility. The Lehman Aggregate Bond Index returned 7.12% for the 12-month period. Investors seeking safety and quality favored Treasury securities, pushing prices up and yields down on Treasury bonds. Investors generally sold other types of bonds—often to shore up balance sheets that were under pressure from write-downs related to the subprime crisis. Still, attractive yields on many non-Treasury issues helped the bonds produce solid total returns for the period.
 
Corporate bonds were very volatile, as investors worried about the effects of credit downgrades. Yields on short-term bonds fell dramatically, due to the Federal Reserve’s interest-rate cuts and investors’ flight to safety, while longer-term bond yields declined modestly.
 
The New Covenant Growth Fund
 
The New Covenant Growth Fund returned −12.61% during the 12-month period through June 30, 2008. That compared to a −13.11% return for the Fund’s benchmark, the Standard & Poor’s 500 Index.1
 
This Fund takes a core-satellite approach to diversification2: It invests the majority of its assets in a core portfolio and adds satellite portfolios of value, growth and international stocks. The Fund also spreads its assets among small-, mid- and large-cap shares in order to gain exposure to the broad equity market.
 
Strong performance by the Fund’s large-cap growth and large cap value managers helped the New Covenant Growth Fund outperform its benchmark. Both managers outperformed the S&P 500 as well as their style-specific indexes. Holding a specific allocation to growth stocks also boosted returns relative to the benchmark, as growth shares led the equity markets. Likewise, the Fund’s allocation to foreign stocks, which held up better than the U.S. market during this period, helped the Fund post a smaller decline than the S&P 500.
 
The Fund’s dedicated allocations to small- and mid-cap stocks reduced its relative performance, as smaller stocks generally trailed larger cap stocks.
 
The New Covenant Income Fund
 
The New Covenant Income Fund returned 1.36% during the 12-month period ended June 30, 2008. That compared to a 7.17% return for its primary benchmark, the Lehman Intermediate Aggregate Bond Index and a 7.12% return for the Lehman Aggregate Bond Index.
 
The Fund lagged its benchmark primarily because of an overweight stake in high-quality mortgage-backed securities and an underweight position in Treasury securities. The Fund’s manager reduced the portfolio’s position in Treasuries after they rallied during 2007, and captured higher yields by shifting more assets to mortgage-backed securities. Investors’ flight to quality caused mortgage-backed bonds to continue trailing Treasuries, however, weighing on relative performance. The overweight position in mortgage bonds did help the Fund generate a strong yield relative to the benchmark as of the end of the period, however.
 
The New Covenant Balanced Growth Fund
 
The New Covenant Balanced Growth Fund returned −7.26% during the 12-month period ended June 30, 2008. That compared to a −5.24% return for its primary benchmark, a composite index comprised of a 60% weighting in the S&P 500 and a 40% weighting in the Lehman Intermediate

NEW COVENANT FUNDS ANNUAL REPORT
Letter to Shareholders
 
Aggregate Bond Index and a −5.25% return for the index comprised of a 60% weighting in the S&P 500 and a 40% weighting in the Lehman Aggregate Bond Index
 
The Balanced Growth Fund trailed its composite benchmark primarily because of underperformance by the Income Fund, which trailed the Lehman Aggregate Bond Index by nearly six percentage points. As of June 30, 2008, the Fund held an asset allocation of 61% of assets in the New Covenant Growth Fund and 38% in the New Covenant Income Fund.*
 
The New Covenant Balanced Income Fund
 
The New Covenant Balanced Income Fund returned −3.95% during the 12-month period ended June 30, 2008. That compared to a −0.15% return for its primary benchmark, a composite index comprised of a 35% weighting in the S&P 500 and a 65% weighting in the Lehman Intermediate Aggregate Bond Index and a −0.17% return for the index comprised of a 35% weighting in the S&P 500 and a 65% weighting in the Lehman Aggregate Bond Index.
 
The Income Fund trailed its benchmark significantly, detracting from the Balanced Income Fund’s performance relative to the composite index. The Fund as of June 30, 2008 held 36% of its assets in the New Covenant Growth Fund and 61% of its assets in the New Covenant Income Fund.*
 
We believe that the difficult environment during this fiscal year illustrates the importance of appropriate asset allocation and thorough diversification. An investor who held both stocks and bonds during this period would have significantly outperformed an equity-only investor, as the performance of the New Covenant Balanced Funds indicates. Furthermore, diversification among various sizes and styles of stocks, both in the U.S. and abroad, helped the Funds’ equity allocation hold up better than the narrower S&P 500 benchmark.
 
Thank you for choosing the New Covenant Funds. We look forward to working with you to attempt to achieve your most important financial objectives over the coming years and decades.
 
Sincerely,
 
 
Anita Clemons
Vice President
Acting Chief Investment Officer
The NCF Investment Department of New Covenant Trust Company, N.A.

NEW COVENANT FUNDS
June 30, 2008
 
 
1. Organization
 
New Covenant Funds (the “Trust”), an open-end, diversified management investment company, was organized as a Delaware business trust on September 30, 1998. It currently consists of four investment funds: New Covenant Growth Fund (“Growth Fund”), New Covenant Income Fund (“Income Fund”), New Covenant Balanced Growth Fund (“Balanced Growth Fund”), and New Covenant Balanced Income Fund (“Balanced Income Fund”), (individually, a “Fund,” and collectively, the “Funds”). The Funds commenced operations on July 1, 1999. The Trust’s authorized capital consists of an unlimited number of shares of beneficial interest of $0.001 par value. The Funds’ investment adviser is the NCF Investment Department of New Covenant Trust Company, N.A., a wholly owned subsidiary of the Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.) Foundation (the “Adviser”).
 
The objectives of the Funds are as follows:
     
     
Growth Fund
  Long-term capital appreciation. Dividend income, if any, will be incidental.
     
Income Fund
  High level of current income with preservation of capital.
     
Balanced Growth Fund
  Capital appreciation with less risk than would be present in a portfolio of only common stocks.
     
Balanced Income Fund
  Current income and long-term growth of capital.
 
Under the Trust’s organizational documents, its officers and trustees are indemnified against certain liabilities arising out of the performance of their duties to the Funds. In addition, in the normal course of business, the Trust enters into contracts with its vendors and others that provide general indemnification. Each Fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown, as this would involve future claims that may be made against a Fund. However, based on experience, the Funds expect the risk of loss to be remote.
 
2. Significant Accounting Policies
 
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of income and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The following is a summary of the significant accounting policies consistently followed by the Funds in the preparation of their financial statements. The policies are in conformity with GAAP.
 
Portfolio Valuation:  Fund investments are recorded at market value. Portfolio securities listed on a domestic or foreign exchange are valued at the last sale price on the day of valuation or, if there was no sale that day, at the last reported bid price as of the close of trading. Security valuations for the Funds’ investment in investment companies are furnished by an independent pricing service that has been approved by the Funds’ Board of Trustees. Equity securities traded on NASDAQ use the official closing price. Equity securities which are traded in the over-the-counter market only, but which are not included on NASDAQ, are valued at the mean between the last preceding bid and ask prices. Debt securities with a remaining maturity of sixty days or more are valued using a pricing service when such prices are believed to reflect fair market value. Debt securities with a remaining maturity of less than sixty days are valued at amortized cost, which approximates market value. Investment companies are valued at net asset value. All other assets and securities with no readily determinable market values are valued using procedures adopted by the Board of Trustees. Factors used in determining fair value include but are not limited to: type of security or asset, fundamental analytical data relating to the investment in the security, evaluation of the forces that influence the market in which the security is purchased and sold, and information as to any transactions or offers with respect to the security.
 
Foreign securities traded outside the United States are generally valued as of the time their trading is complete, which is usually different from the close of the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”). Occasionally, events affecting the value of such securities may occur between such times and the close of the NYSE that will not be reflected in the security’s market value. If events materially affecting the value of such securities occur during such period, these securities will be valued at their fair value according to procedures adopted by the Board of Trustees. All securities and other assets of a Fund initially expressed in foreign currencies will be converted to U.S. dollar values at the foreign exchange rate every business day, generally at 4:00 PM ET.
 
Securities Transactions and Investment Income:  During the period, security transactions are accounted for no later than one business day following the trade date. For financial reporting purposes, however, security transactions are accounted for on trade date on the last business day of the reporting period. Securities sold are determined on a specific identification basis. Interest income is recognized on the accrual basis and includes, where applicable, the amortization of premium or accretion of discount for both financial reporting and tax purposes. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date. Gains or losses realized on sales of securities are determined by comparing the identified cost of the security lot sold with the net sales proceeds.
 
Options:  The Income Fund may purchase or write options which are traded over-the-counter to hedge fluctuation risks in the prices of certain securities. When the Fund writes a call or put option, an amount equal to the premium received is reflected as a liability. The liability is subsequently “marked-to-market” to reflect the current market value of the option written. The premium paid

NEW COVENANT FUNDS

by the Fund for the purchase of a call or put option is recorded as an investment and subsequently “marked-to-market” to reflect the current market value of the option purchased. The Fund is subject to the risk of an imperfect correlation between movement in the price of the option and the price of the underlying security. Risks may also arise due to illiquid secondary markets for the options. There were no options outstanding at June 30, 2008.
 
Foreign Currency Translation:  The books and records of the Funds are maintained in U.S. dollars. Investment valuation and other assets and liabilities initially expressed in foreign currencies are converted each business day into U.S. dollars based upon current exchange rates. Purchases and sales of foreign investments and income and expenses are converted into U.S. dollars based upon exchange rates prevailing on the respective dates of such transactions. That portion of unrealized gains or losses on investments due to fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates is not separately disclosed.
 
The Funds do not isolate the portion of gains and losses on investments in securities that is due to changes in the foreign exchange rates from that which is due to changes in the market prices of such securities. The Funds report gains and losses on foreign currency related transactions as realized and unrealized gains and losses for financial reporting purposes, whereas such gains and losses are treated as ordinary income or loss for U.S. federal income tax purposes.
 
Forward Foreign Currency Contracts:  The Growth Fund may enter into forward foreign currency contracts as hedges against either specific transactions or portfolio positions. All commitments are “marked-to-market” daily at the applicable foreign exchange rate and any resulting unrealized gains or losses are recorded currently. The Fund realizes gains and losses at the time foreign forward contracts are extinguished.
 
Loans of Portfolio Securities:  The Growth Fund and the Income Fund may lend their securities pursuant to a securities lending agreement (“Lending Agreement”) with JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. (“JPMorgan”). Security loans made pursuant to the Lending Agreement are required at all times to be secured by collateral valued at a minimum of 102% of the market value of the securities loaned. Cash collateral received is invested by JPMorgan pursuant to the terms of the Lending Agreement. All such investments are made at the risk of the Funds and, as such, the Funds are liable for investment losses. To the extent a loan is secured by non-cash collateral, the borrower is required to pay a loan premium. Non-cash collateral received cannot be sold or repledged. Net income earned on the investment of cash collateral and loan premiums received on non-cash collateral are allocated between JPMorgan and the Funds in accordance with the Lending Agreement. Income allocated to the Funds is included in investment income in the respective Statements of Operations.
 
At June 30, 2008, the cash collateral received by the Growth Fund and the Income Fund was invested in repurchase agreements and other short-term securities. Information on the investment of cash collateral is shown in the Portfolios of Investments. The Growth Fund and the Income Fund receive payments from borrowers equivalent to the dividends and interest that would have been earned on the securities lent while simultaneously seeking to earn income on the investment cash collateral. One of the risks in lending portfolio securities, as with other extensions of credit, is the possible delay in the recovery of the securities or possible loss of rights in the collateral should the borrower fail financially. There is also the risk that, when lending portfolio securities, the securities may not be available to a Fund on a timely basis and a Fund may, therefore, lose the opportunity to sell the securities at a desirable price. In addition, in the event that a borrower of securities would file for bankruptcy or become insolvent, disposition of the securities may be delayed pending court action. However, loans will be made only to borrowers deemed by the Adviser to be creditworthy under guidelines established by the Board of Trustees and when, in the judgment of the Adviser, the consideration which can be earned currently from such securities loans justifies the attendant risks. Loans are subject to termination by the Funds or the borrower at any time, and are, therefore, not considered to be illiquid investments.
 
The value of the loaned securities and related collateral at June 30, 2008, was as follows:
 
                 
 
    Value of
  Value of
Fund   Securities Loaned   Cash Collateral
 
 
Growth Fund     $96,849,624       $101,946,195  
Income Fund     10,461,791       10,778,983  
 
 
 
Repurchase Agreements:  The Funds may enter into repurchase agreements which are secured by obligations of the U.S. government with a bank, broker-dealer or other financial institution. Each repurchase agreement is at least 102% collateralized and marked-to-market. However, in the event of default or bankruptcy by the counterparty to the repurchase agreement, realization of the collateral may by subject to certain costs, losses or delays.
 
Forward Commitments, When-Issued Securities and Delayed-Delivery Transactions:  The Growth Fund and the Income Fund may purchase or sell securities on a when-issued or delayed-delivery basis and make contracts to purchase or sell securities for a fixed price at a future date beyond customary settlement time. Debt securities are often issued on that basis. No income will accrue on securities purchased on a when-issued or delayed-delivery basis until the securities are delivered. Securities purchased or sold on a when-issued, delayed-delivery or forward-commitment basis involve a risk of loss if the value of the security to be purchased declines prior to settlement date. Although the Funds would generally purchase securities on a when-issued, delayed-delivery or a forward-

commitment basis with the intention of acquiring the securities, the Funds may dispose of such securities prior to settlement if the portfolio manager deems it appropriate to do so.
 
The Funds may dispose of or renegotiate a when-issued or forward commitment. The Funds will normally realize a capital gain or loss in connection with these transactions.
 
When the Funds purchase securities on a when-issued, delayed-delivery or forward-commitment basis, the Funds will maintain cash, U.S. government securities or other liquid portfolio securities having a value (determined daily) at least equal to the amount of the Funds’ purchase commitments. In the case of a forward commitment to sell portfolio securities, the custodian will hold the portfolio securities in a segregated account while the commitment is outstanding.
 
These procedures are designed to ensure that the Funds will maintain sufficient assets at all times to cover their obligations under when-issued purchases, forward commitments and delayed-delivery transactions.
 
As of June 30, 2008, the Fund had outstanding when-issued or delayed-delivery purchase commitments with corresponding assets segregated, as follows:
 
         
   
Fund   Amount  
   
 
Income Fund     $41,794,416  
 
 
 
Dividends and Distributions to Shareholders:  Dividends from net investment income of all Funds are declared and paid at least annually. For all Funds, all net realized long-term or short-term capital gains, if any, will be declared and distributed at least annually. Interest and dividend payments will normally be distributed as income dividends on a quarterly basis for each of the Funds.
 
Income dividends and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP. These differences are primarily due to differing treatments of income, gains and losses on various investment securities held by a Fund, timing differences in the recognition of income, gains and losses and differing characterizations of distributions made by the Fund.
 
These “book/tax” differences are either considered temporary or permanent in nature. To the extent these differences are permanent in nature, such amounts are reclassified within the composition of net assets based on their federal tax-basis treatment; temporary differences do not require reclassifications. To the extent that distributions exceed net investment income and net realized gains for tax purposes, they are reported as returns of capital.
 
On the Statements of Assets and Liabilities, the following adjustments were made for permanent tax adjustments:
 
                         
    Accumulated
  Undistributed
   
    Net Realized
  Net Investment
  Portfolio
    Gain (Loss)   Income   Capital
 
 
Growth Fund     $(68,788 )     $68,788       $—  
Income Fund     39,063       (39,063 )      
Balanced Growth Fund     (4,478 )     4,478        
Balanced Income Fund                  
 
 
 
Federal Income Taxes:  It is each Fund’s intention to continue to qualify annually as a regulated investment company by complying with the appropriate provisions of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. Accordingly, no provision for federal income tax has been made.
 
Financial Accounting Standards Board Interpretation No. 48
 
On July 13, 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) released FASB Interpretation No. 48 “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes” (“FIN 48”). FIN 48 provides guidance for how uncertain tax positions should be recognized, measured, presented and disclosed in the financial statements. FIN 48 requires the evaluation of tax positions taken or expected to be taken in the course of preparing the Funds’ tax returns to determine whether the tax positions are “more-likely-than-not” of being sustained by the applicable tax authority. Tax positions not deemed to meet the more-likely-than-not threshold would be recorded as a tax benefit or expense in the current year. Adoption of FIN 48 is required as of the date of the last Net Asset Value (“NAV”) calculation in the first required financial statement reporting period for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006 and is to be applied to all open tax years ended June 30, 2005 through 2008. The portfolios have adopted FIN 48 and as of June 30, 2008, the portfolios do not have any tax positions that did not meet the “more-likely-than-not threshold” of being sustained by the applicable tax authority.
 
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements:  In September 2006, the FASB issued Statement on Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements.” This standard establishes a single authoritative definition of fair value,

29


Table of Contents

notes to financial statements

 
NEW COVENANT FUNDS
June 30, 2008
 
sets out a framework for measuring fair value and requires additional disclosures about fair value measurements. SFAS No. 157 applies to fair value measurements already required or permitted by existing standards. SFAS No. 157 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007 and interim periods within those fiscal years. The changes to current GAAP from the application of this Statement relate to the definition of fair value, the methods used to measure fair value, and the expanded disclosures about fair value measurements. As of June 30, 2008, the Funds do not believe the adoption of SFAS No. 157 will impact the financial statement amounts; however, additional disclosures may be required about the inputs used to develop the measurements and the effect of certain of the measurements on changes in net assets.
 
The Funds will adopt SFAS No. 157 with financial statements issued after July 1, 2008.
 
In March 2008, FASB issued its Statement on Financial Accounting Standards No. 161, “Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities” (“SFAS 161”). This standard is intended to enhance financial disclosures for derivative instruments and hedging activities and enable investors to understand: a) how and why a fund uses derivative instruments, b) how derivative instruments and related hedge items are accounted for, and c) how derivative instruments and related hedge items affect a fund’s financial position, results of operations and cash flows. SFAS No. 161 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after November 15, 2008. As of June 30, 2008 the Funds do not believe the adoption of SFAS No. 161 will impact the financial statement amounts; however, additional footnote disclosures may be required about the use of derivative instruments and hedge items.
 
Allocation of Expenses:  Expenses directly attributable to a Fund are charged directly to that Fund, while expenses which are attributable to more than one Fund of the Trust are allocated among the respective Funds based upon relative net assets or some other reasonable method.
 
Commission Rebates:  The Growth Fund directs certain portfolio trades to brokers who rebate a portion of their commissions in cash to the Fund. Under this arrangement, the Growth Fund had commissions rebated by $83,520, or less then 0.01%, as a percentage of the average daily net assets of the Fund on an annualized basis for the year ended June 30, 2008.
 
3. Investment Advisory and Other Agreements
 
The Trust, on behalf of each Fund, has entered into an Investment Advisory Agreement with the NCF Investment Department of New Covenant Trust Company, N.A. Under the Agreement, the Adviser is responsible for managing the Funds’ investments as well as furnishing the Funds with certain administrative services. The Growth Fund pays the Adviser a monthly fee at the annual rate of 0.99% of the Growth Fund’s average daily net assets and the Income Fund pays the Adviser a monthly fee at the annual rate of 0.75% of the Income Fund’s average daily net assets. The Adviser does not receive advisory fees for the Balanced Growth and Balanced Income Funds (the “Balanced Funds”). The Adviser has entered into Sub-Advisory Agreements with six Sub-Advisors to assist in the selection and management of the Growth Fund’s and Income Fund’s investment securities. It is the responsibility of the Sub-Advisers, under the direction of the Adviser, to make day-to-day investment decisions for these Funds. The Adviser, not the Funds, pays each Sub-Adviser a quarterly fee for their services. The Adviser pays the Sub-Adviser’s fee directly from its own advisory fees. The sub-advisory fees are based on the assets of a Fund for which the Sub-Adviser is responsible for making investment decisions.
 
The following are the Sub-Advisers for the Growth Fund: Capital Guardian Trust Company, Mazama Capital Management Inc., Santa Barbara Asset Management Inc. (a newly acquired firm of Madison Dearborn Partners, LLC as of November 13, 2007), Sound Shore Management Inc., and Wellington Management Company, LLP.
 
Tattersall Advisory Group is the Sub-Adviser for the Income Fund.
 
The Trust employs a Chief Compliance Officer (“CCO”) who receives a portion of his compensation from the Trust as approved by the Board of Trustees, as well as reimbursement of out-of-pocket expenses. The CCO is also an employee of the Adviser. For the year ended June 30, 2008, the Growth Fund, the Income Fund, the Balanced Growth Fund, and the Balanced Income Fund were allocated $29,159, $17,711, $10,562 and $2,973, respectively, of the CCO’s compensation.
 
The Trust is a party to a Shareholder Services Agreement pursuant to which each Fund is authorized to make payments to certain entities which may include investment advisers, banks, trust companies and other types of organizations (“Authorized Service Providers”) for providing administrative services with respect to shares of the Funds attributable to or held in the name of the Authorized Service Provider for its clients or other parties with whom they have a servicing relationship. Under the terms of the Shareholder Services Agreement, each Fund is authorized to pay monthly an Authorized Service Provider (which may include affiliates of the Funds) a shareholder services fee at the rate of 0.25% on an annual basis of the average daily net assets of the shares of the Fund attributable to or held in the name of the Authorized Service Provider for providing certain administrative services to Fund shareholders with whom the Authorized Service Provider has a servicing relationship. In connection with the Shareholder Services Agreement, the Adviser has agreed to waive the amount of the investment advisory fees payable to it by the Growth Fund, and the Income Fund to the extent of the amount paid in fees by a Fund to any affiliated Authorized Service Provider under the Shareholder Services Agreement.

5. Risk Factors
 
The performance of a Fund’s investments in non-U.S. companies and in companies operating internationally or in foreign countries will depend principally on economic conditions in their product markets, the securities markets where their securities are traded, and currency exchange rates. These risks are present because of uncertainty in future exchange rates back into U.S. dollars and possible political instability, which could affect foreign financial markets and local economies. There are also risks related to social and

NEW COVENANT FUNDS

economic developments abroad, as well as risks resulting from the differences between the regulations to which U.S. and foreign issuers and markets are subject.
 
The Funds will not invest more than 15% of the value of their net assets in securities that are illiquid because of restrictions on transferability or other reasons. Repurchase agreements with deemed maturities in excess of seven days and securities that are not registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, but that may be purchased by institutional buyers pursuant to Rule 144A are subject to this 15% limit (unless such securities are variable-amount master-demand notes with maturities of nine months or less or unless the Board determines that a liquid trading market exists). The Funds may purchase securities which are not registered under the Securities Act but which can be sold to “qualified institutional buyers” in accordance with Rule 144A under the Securities Act. In some cases, such securities are classified as “illiquid securities”; however, any such security will not be considered illiquid so long as it is determined by the Adviser, under guidelines approved by the Board of Trustees, that an adequate trading market exists for that security. This investment practice could have the effect of increasing the level of illiquidity in a Fund during any period that qualified institutional buyers become uninterested in purchasing these restricted securities.
 
The Income Fund may invest a limited amount of assets in debt securities which are rated below investment grade (hereinafter referred to as “lower-rated securities”) or which are unrated but deemed equivalent to those rated below investment grade by the portfolio managers. The lower the ratings of such debt securities, the greater their risks. These debt instruments generally offer a higher current yield than that available from higher-grade issues, and typically involve greater risks. The yields on lower-rated securities will fluctuate over time. In general, prices of all bonds rise when interest rates fall and fall when interest rates rise. Lower-rated securities are subject to adverse changes in general economic conditions and to changes in the financial condition of their issuers. During periods of economic downturn or rising interest rates, issuers of these instruments may experience financial stress that could adversely affect their ability to make payments of principal and interest, and increase the possibility of default.
 
The Balanced Funds invest their assets primarily in the Growth Fund and the Income Fund. By investing primarily in shares of these Funds, shareholders of the Balanced Funds indirectly pay a portion of the operating expenses, management expenses and brokerage costs of the underlying Funds as well as their own operating expenses. Thus, shareholders of the Balanced Funds may indirectly pay slightly higher total operating expenses and other costs than they would pay by directly owning shares of the Growth Fund and Income Fund. Total fees and expenses to be borne by investors in either Balanced Fund will depend on the portion of the Funds’ assets invested in the Growth Fund and in the Income Fund. A change in the asset allocation of either Balanced Fund could increase or reduce the fees and expenses actually borne by investors in that Fund. The Balanced Funds are also subject to rebalancing risk. Rebalancing activities, while undertaken to maintain a Fund’s investment risk-to-reward ratio, may cause the Fund to under-perform other funds with similar investment objectives. For the Balanced Growth Fund, it is possible after rebalancing from equities into a greater percentage of fixed-income securities, that equities will outperform fixed-income investments. For the Balanced Income Fund, it is possible that after rebalancing from fixed-income securities into a greater percentage of equity securities, that fixed-income securities will outperform equity investments. The performance of the Balanced Growth Fund and the Balanced Income Fund depends on the performance of the underlying Funds in which they invest.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
 
To the Board of Trustees and Shareholders
of the New Covenant Funds:
 
 
We have audited the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities, including the portfolios of investments, of the New Covenant Funds (comprised of New Covenant Growth Fund, New Covenant Income Fund, New Covenant Balanced Growth Fund, and New Covenant Balanced Income Fund) (collectively the “Funds”), as of June 30, 2008, and the related statements of operations for the year then ended, the statements of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended. These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Funds’ management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and financial highlights based on our audits.
 
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and financial highlights are free of material misstatement. We were not engaged to perform an audit of the Funds’ internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Funds’ internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements and financial highlights, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of June 30, 2008, by correspondence with the custodian and brokers or by other appropriate auditing procedures where replies from brokers were not received. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
 
In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of each of the respective portfolios constituting the New Covenant Funds at June 30, 2008, the results of their operations, the changes in their net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

Additional Fund Information - Hypothetical Cost of Investing
 
As a shareholder of the New Covenant Funds, you incur ongoing costs, including management fees and other Fund expenses. This example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the New Covenant Funds and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.
 
The Example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period from January 1, 2008 through June 30, 2008.
 
Actual Expenses
The table below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information below, together with the amount you invested, 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 table under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.

Approval of the Continuation of the Investment Advisory and Sub-Advisory Agreements
 
The current Investment Advisory Agreement and each of the Sub-Advisory Agreements (collectively, the “Agreements”) were most recently re-approved by the Board of Trustees of the New Covenant Funds (the “Trust”) on May 19, 2008, for a one-year period ending June 30, 2009. (As discussed more fully below, the Sub-Advisory Agreement of one of the Sub-Advisers, Mazama Capital Management, Inc., (“Mazama”) was only re-approved on a short-term basis through July 31, 2008, due to the fact that the Board determined at the meeting to replace Mazama with a new Sub-Adviser, Russell Implementation Services, Inc. (“Russell”), effective as of August 1, 2008). Relevant provisions of the Investment Company Act of 1940 specifically provide that it is the duty of the Board to request and evaluate such information as the Board determines is reasonably necessary to allow the Board to properly consider the continuation of the Agreements, and it is the duty of the Adviser and the Sub-Advisers to furnish the Trustees with such information as is responsive to their request. Accordingly, in determining whether to renew the Agreements, the Board of Trustees requested, and the Adviser and the Sub-Advisers provided, information and data relevant to the Board’s consideration. This included materials regarding the investment performance of the Funds and information regarding the fees and expenses of the Funds, as compared to other similar mutual funds, including other mutual funds having socially responsible investment (“SRI”) mandates. As part of their deliberations, the Trustees also considered and relied upon the information about the Funds, the Adviser and the Sub-Advisers that had been provided to them throughout the past year in connection with their regular Board meetings at which they engage in the ongoing oversight of the Funds and their operations. The Independent Trustees discussed the materials prior to the May 19, 2008 Board meeting as well as in an executive session during the meeting. During this process the Independent Trustees were counseled by their own independent legal counsel (as such term is defined in the rules under the 1940 Act).
 
Among the factors the Board considered was the overall performance of each Fund and each Sub-Adviser relative to the performance of similar mutual funds in each Fund’s peer group and relative to applicable benchmark indexes on a long-term basis and over shorter periods of time. The Board took note of the fact that the performance results achieved for the Funds were favorable on both a short-term and on a long-term basis and that the Adviser produced these results in a manner consistent with the stated investment objective and policies of each of the Funds. The Board considered the contribution made by each Sub-Adviser to the short-term and, as relevant, long-term performance. The Board also took note of the long-term relationship between the Adviser and the Funds and the efforts that have been undertaken by the Adviser to foster the growth and development of the Funds since their inception.
 
In connection with its consideration of the continuation of the Agreement with the Adviser, the Board compared the expenses of each of the Funds to the expenses of their peers, based on data compiled by an independent source. The Board noted the range of investment advisory and administrative services provided by the Adviser to the Funds and the nature, extent and quality of these services. The Board also reviewed financial information concerning the Adviser relating to its operation of the Funds, noting the overall profitability of the relationship with the Funds to the Adviser and the financial soundness of the Adviser as demonstrated by the financial information provided. In addition, the Board discussed with the Adviser economies of scale that could be realized by the Funds and the impact of potential economies of scale on the fees assessed on the Growth and Income Funds. The members of the Board also considered the fact that the Adviser makes available the services of its subsidiary New Covenant Funds Distributor, Inc. (the “Distributor”) to serve as the distributor of the shares of each of the Funds and they noted that the Adviser bears all of the costs of the distribution services for the Funds that are provided by the Distributor. The Board also took note of the fact that the Distributor continued to undertake efforts to expand the marketing of the Funds and to provide for expanded distribution of the Funds at no direct cost to the Funds. The Trustees considered the services performed by the Trust’s Chief Compliance Officer (who is an employee of the Adviser), particularly in his oversight of the Sub-Advisers; the services provided by the Adviser in managing the Funds’ proxy voting program; and other additional services provided by the Adviser to the Funds, and concluded that the shareholders continue to benefit from these additional services under the Investment Advisory Agreement with the Adviser. The Board also discussed the function of the Adviser’s Social Witness Committee of its board to raise the visibility and importance of the social responsibility aspect of investing the Funds’ portfolios, and the Adviser’s participation on the Mission Responsibility Through Investment Committee of the Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.) Foundation.
 
In connection with their review of each of the Sub-Advisory Agreements, the Trustees considered, in addition to the performance information discussed above, the Sub-Advisers’ adherence to the Funds’ investment objectives and policies, the Trust’s Chief Compliance Officer’s favorable compliance report on each Sub-Adviser and the fees charged or proposed to be charged, in the case of Russell, by the Sub-Advisers to other clients as compared to the fees they receive from the Adviser. While the Board considered financial information regarding each Sub-Adviser, it did not consider information as to the profitability of each Sub-Advisory Agreement to the applicable Sub-Adviser, since the fees payable to the Sub-Advisers had been negotiated at arm’s length and were paid by the Adviser. The Board considered the soft dollar practices of certain of the Sub-Advisers to the Growth Fund and they noted that those Sub-Advisers that do engage in soft dollar transactions with respect to portfolio transactions for the Growth Fund do so in a manner that is consistent with industry practice within the mutual fund industry and also consistent with relevant regulatory guidance and that these transactions reflect a small portion of the overall portfolio trading done for the Growth Fund.
 
In connection with its review of the investment performance of the Sub-Advisers, the Board took into consideration the below-benchmark performance of Mazama in connection with its management of a portion of the Growth Fund’s portfolio and the Board considered the Adviser’s recommendation with respect to the proposed replacement of Mazama. At the conclusion of their

consideration of the performance results achieved by Mazama, and in accordance with the recommendation of the Adviser, the Board determined to replace Mazama with Russell. The Board reviewed information and materials regarding Russell, its prior investment performance, its proposed portfolio management process and its proposed level of fees, and it selected Russell to manage the portion of the Growth Fund being managed by Mazama. Due to the fact that Russell would not begin managing Fund assets prior to August 1, 2008, the Board approved the continuation of the Sub-Advisory Agreement with Mazama for a one-month period in order to provide for the transition from Mazama to Russell effective as of August 1, 2008. In connection with its choice of Russell as a replacement Sub-Adviser, the Board took note of the fact that Russell may receive indirect compensation from the Growth Fund by performing portfolio brokerage transactions for the Fund for which Russell is entitled to receive brokerage commissions, and the Board concluded that because such transactions must conform with applicable regulatory requirements that provide that such commissions must be fair and reasonable, the ability to receive such additional indirect income by Russell was acceptable and not unfair to investors.
 
In reaching their conclusion with respect to the continuation of the Agreements, the Trustees did not identify any one single factor as being controlling; rather, the Trustees took note of a combination of factors that influenced their decision-making process. The Board did, however, identify the performance of the Funds, the commitment of the Adviser to the successful operation of the Funds, and the level of expenses of the Funds as being important elements of their consideration. The Board took particular note of the performance of each Fund compared to that of similar SRI funds. The Board also took particular note of the unique duties that the Adviser undertakes in order to assure that the Funds are invested in a manner that is consistent with the social-witness principles of the Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.). The Board further considered the fact that the Adviser had undertaken during the year to waive its investment advisory fees to the extent of the amount of shareholder services fees paid by the Funds during the year in order to limit the overall operating expenses of the Funds. The Board also took into consideration the fact that the Adviser manages the Funds under a “manager of managers” arrangement pursuant to which the Adviser is responsible for the ongoing oversight of the investment program of each of the Sub-Advisers with respect to their management of the Funds and the Board determined that the Adviser has continued to successfully implement the “manager of managers” program for the Funds in a manner that has been beneficial to the Funds and their shareholders.
 
Based upon their review and consideration of these factors and other matters deemed relevant by the Board in reaching an informed business judgment, the Board of Trustees, including a majority of the Independent Trustees, concluded that the terms of the Advisory Agreement and the Sub-Advisory Agreements are fair and reasonable in light of the services provided and the Board therefore voted to renew the Agreements for an additional one-year period (except with respect to Mazama) and to approve the new Sub-Advisory Agreement with Russell.

Item 2. Code of Ethics.
The registrant has adopted a code of ethics that applies to the registrant’s principal executive officer, principal financial officer, principal accounting officer or controller. The registrant has not made any amendments to its code of ethics during the period covered by this report. The registrant has not granted any waivers from any provisions of the code of ethics during the period covered by this report.
(1) File: A copy of the registrant’s Code of Ethics is filed herewith.
Item 3. Audit Committee Financial Expert.
The registrant’s board of directors has determined that there is at least one audit committee financial expert serving on its audit committee. William Lauderbach is the “audit committee financial expert” and is considered to be “independent” as each term is defined in Item 3 of Form N-CSR.
Item 4. Principal Accountant Fees and Services.
The registrant has engaged its principal accountant to perform audit services, audit-related services, tax services and other services during the past two fiscal years. “Audit services” refer to performing an audit of the registrant’s annual financial statements or services that are normally provided by the accountant in connection with statutory and regulatory filings or engagements for those fiscal years. “Audit-related services” refer to the assurance and related services by the principal accountant that are reasonably related to the performance of the audit. “Tax services” refer to professional services rendered by the principal accountant for tax compliance, tax advice, and tax planning. There were no “Other services” provided by the principal accountant. The following table details the aggregate fees billed or expected to be billed for each of the last two fiscal years for audit fees, audit-related fees, tax fees and other fees by the principal accountant.

All Other Fees

The audit committee has adopted pre-approval policies and procedures that require the audit committee to pre-approve all audit and non-audit services of the registrant, including services provided to any entity affiliated with the registrant. All of the principal accountant’s hours spent on auditing the registrant’s financial statements were attributed to work performed by full-time permanent employees of the principal accountant. (If more than 50 percent of the accountant’s hours were spent to audit the registrant’s financial statements for the most recent fiscal year, state how many hours were attributed to work performed by persons other than the principal accountant’s full-time, permanent employees.)

 


Table of Contents

The following table indicates the non-audit fees billed or expected to be billed by the registrant’s accountant for services to the registrant and to the registrant’s investment adviser (and any other controlling entity, etc.—not sub-adviser) for the last two years. The audit committee of the board of trustees has considered whether the provision of non-audit services that were rendered to the registrant’s investment adviser is compatible with maintaining the principal accountant’s independence and has concluded that the provision of such non-audit services by the accountant has not compromised the accountant’s independence.
