NEW COVENANT FUNDS — JUNE 30, 2020 (Unaudited)

To Our Shareholders:

The fiscal year ending June 30, 2020 began with strong returns in the equity markets over the final half of 2019. After hitting all-time highs in February, concerns about the international spread of a novel coronavirus (COVID-19) dominated investor concerns, and by the end of March most equity indexes had fallen into bear-market territory. Plans to reopen economic activity and developments in the race for COVID-19 treatments encouraged investors in April and May; global financial markets rallied sharply amid renewed “risk-on” sentiment but still finished below their peaks from earlier in the year. Despite tension around a U.S.-China trade deal and ongoing Brexit concerns in late 2019, the lingering effects of COVID-19 demanded plenty of attention from investors.

The Federal Reserve (Fed) cut interest rates three times prior to March. The Fed’s accommodative turn in monetary policy midway through the reporting period included an early conclusion in August to its balance-sheet reduction program that came amid below-target inflation and uncertainty about trade developments. Two off-cycle moves in the final month brought the federal-funds rate to near zero and were designed to bolster the economy in response to the economic threat posed by the coronavirus outbreak; the emergency actions were the first since the global financial crisis. Additionally, the Fed committed to purchasing unlimited amounts of Treasurys and established or renewed multiple facilities designed to support the economy.

The European Central Bank (ECB) sought to provide fresh stimulus following its mid-September meeting by reducing its deposit rate from -0.40% to a record low of -0.50%—and adopting a new system to offset possible consequent bank-reserve losses. Christine Lagarde succeeded Mario Draghi as ECB President in November. The ECB restarted its asset-purchase program in November with a monthly pace of 20 billion and stated it intends to continue to fully reinvest the principal payments from maturing securities purchased under the program. In response to COVID-19, the ECB announced a new quantitative easing (QE) package in March—the Pandemic Emergency Purchase Programme—amounting to 750 billion, which should bring total QE-related asset purchases to more than 1.3 trillion in 2020.

The Japanese yen, typically viewed as a “safe-haven” asset in “risk-off” environments, finished the period 0.2% higher against the U.S. dollar, while the Bank of Japan held monetary policy stable and signaled it did not intend to raise rates before 2023. The Chinese yuan finished the fiscal year down 3.0% against the U.S. dollar as trade-related tensions initially drove the exchange rate to an 11-year low in September. The currency rebounded some after confidence grew that a limited U.S.-China trade agreement would be reached but faltered again as COVID-19 worries grew early in 2020.

West Texas Intermediate crude-oil prices stayed mostly range-bound over the first half of the reporting period. From January onward, the commodity became a victim of an oil-production impasse between Saudi Arabia and Russia and travel restrictions that sapped usage due to the coronavirus pandemic. Between the high toward the end of 2019 and the April lows, crude-oil prices fell over 80%. Record supply cuts and a pickup in global fuel demand toward the end of the reporting period helped drive a partial price recovery, and oil finished down about 32% for the 12-month period.

Geopolitical Events

Market volatility accelerated in the first quarter of 2020 following concerns about COVID-19 and its eventual economic effect: A deadly strain originated in Wuhan, China, and began spreading at an exponential pace. As the outbreak spread to other countries, governments issued stay-at-home orders, and public health leaders preached “social distancing” in order to “flatten the curve” (that is, slow the rate of transmission in order to provide health systems time to manage the viral outbreak). Beyond the threat to public health, the outbreak and resulting containment measures evoked concerns about the potential halt to global economic activity. April saw the official infection rate more than triple to over three-million cases worldwide, while in the U.S., the total recorded number of COVID-19-related deaths neared 130,000 by late June—out of about 500,000 total worldwide. Nevertheless, stocks advanced globally almost without exception over the last three months of the period as forward-looking investors attempted to spot sources of encouragement.

The United States-Mexico-Canada trade agreement was ratified by all three countries in December and officially replaced the North American Free Trade Agreement just after the reporting period ended on July 1. President Trump and France’s President Emmanuel Macron successfully walked back threats of tariffs that originated with French

plans for a digital tax that would have targeted US-based multi-national technology companies. The prospect of a digital tax re-surfaced in other countries—including the U.K., Italy, Austria and Turkey—which prompted more threats of retailiatory tariffs by Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin. Sajid Javid, the UK’s former Chancellor of the Exchequer, disappointed Secretary Mnuchin by explaining during a joint interview in late January at the World Economic Forum that the U.K. would prioritize trade negotiations with the EU over a deal with the U.S.

China and the U.S. formalized a “phase one” trade deal in mid-January that offered tariff relief to China (via the reduction of existing tariffs and the delay of additional scheduled tariffs). In exchange, China committed to purchasing $200 billion in U.S. products over a two-year period; addressing its long-standing practice of forcing the transfer of intellectual property and technology to Chinese counterparts in exchange for access to the Chinese market; and promising to continue opening its financial-services industry to foreign investors. The tense U.S.-China relationship was stressed in May by a U.S. push for more transparency in the ownership of U.S.-listed Chinese companies and the U.S. government’s barring of certain Chinese holdings from its retirement plans.

President Trump’s impeachment trial ended with an acquittal by the U.S. Senate in February—even as the U.S. media surfaced corroborating first-hand accounts of President Trump directing underlying events central to the articles of impeachment. The Democratic presidential primary process neared completion with Joe Biden, considered to represent the more moderate wing of the Democratic Party, as the likely nominee.

Boris Johnson succeeded Theresa May as prime minister in the U.K. early in the fiscal year but faced sharp resistance from the outset of his tenure; however, the UK’s Conservative Party consolidated its power in a mid-December election—winning a majority of seats in the House of Commons and gaining approval for Prime Minister Boris Johnson’s EU departure deal. The country officially left the EU at the end of January 2020, giving way to an 11-month transition period to negotiate terms of the future U.K.-EU relationship. Johnson emerged from his personal battle with COVID-19 in April, having been hospitalized in intensive care and temporarily deputizing Foreign Secretary Dominic Raab to fulfil his role while incapacitated.

Elsewhere, after months of demonstrations, protesters in Hong Kong saw some success when a proposed law that would have allowed for extradition to mainland China was withdrawn. Protests continued, however, amid a reported increase in China’s police presence and undercover activity, although coronavirus concerns put an end to most large-scale demonstrations. China passed a new national security law for Hong Kong in June, categorizing an array of subversive activities as criminal behavior and carrying sentences as steep as life imprisonment. The ruling also enables Beijing to supervise and intervene in the policing of these activities, as well as the final word on interpreting the law, marking a significant dilution of the “one country, two systems” governance ethos that has defined the relationship since the U.K.’s handoff of Hong Kong to China in 1997.

Economic Performance

The U.S. economy grew by a seasonally-adjusted annualized 2.0% in the second quarter of 2019 as a decline in exports and inventory builds countered robust consumer spending. The third quarter saw a slight increase in annualized growth at 2.1%, as the robust U.S. labor market helped to support the moderate pace of activity, allowing the 10-year expansion to continue despite decelerating global trends. Economic growth again registered 2.1% in the fourth quarter, driven by an increase in net trade but weakened by a sharp slowdown in consumer spending. The third estimate for gross domestic product (GDP) in the first quarter of 2020 saw a decline of 5.0%, the largest decline since the global financial crisis. GDPNow, not an official forecast but a model of real GDP growth by the Federal Reserve Bank of Atlanta, estimated an almost 35% drop for the second quarter at the end of the reporting period. The abrupt halt to the 10-year economic expansion came amid mandated lockdowns throughout most of the country.

The U.S. unemployment rate touched a 50-year low of 3.5% during the fiscal year before jumping as high as 14.7% in April and settling at 11.1% in the final reading; the number of Americans filing for initial unemployment benefits hit record numbers as many non-essential businesses were forced to close in the wake of the pandemic. The labor-force participation rate ended at 61.5%, down from 63.0% a year earlier. Average hourly earnings gained 5.0% over the year, as the increase in unemployment tended to hit lower-wage workers hardest.

Broad economic growth in the eurozone slowed to its weakest pace since records began in 1995 during the first quarter of 2020; the 14.4% annualized decline far exceeded that in the U.S. as measures imposed to limit the spread

of COVID-19 reflected the closing of everything from restaurants to factories. The magnitude and speed of the contraction solidified the case for continued accommodative policy by the ECB for some time.

The Bank of England’s Monetary Policy Committee cut the Bank Rate to 0.1%, the lowest in the 325-year history of its lending rate, during the fiscal year. It also announced a £200 billion asset-purchase program, mostly of government bonds, to be conducted at a monthly pace that will eclipse previous rounds of QE. Additionally, it launched a so-called funding-for-lending scheme to spur banks to lend to small- and medium-sized enterprises as well as a commercial paper facility with no cap limit, both to be financed by central-bank reserves. Following its mid-June meeting, the central bank announced that it would expand its stock of asset purchases (from an initial £200 billion increase announced in March) by another £100 billion, to £745 billion. The U.K. economy shrank 1.6% seasonally-adjusted at annual rates through the first quarter of 2020, its weakest level in over 10 years.

Japanese GDP contracted 7.1% in seasonally-adjusted annualized terms in the fourth quarter of 2019 as the country’s sales tax hike weakened consumer and business spending; an additional 2.2% decline in the first quarter of 2020 confirmed that Japan had fallen into recession for the first time in over four years. The Bank of Japan expanded monetary stimulus as pandemic pain worsened late in the period. Meanwhile, GDP in China shrank by 6.8% year-on-year and seasonally-adjusted in the first quarter of 2020, its worst pace in several decades, as consumer spending, exports and fixed-asset investments all were affected by the lockdowns in January and early February.

Market Developments

The S&P 500 Index finished the fiscal year up 7.51%, despite falling over 30% from peak to trough in February and March. Prior to the coronavirus onset, investors enjoyed the continuation of the modest U.S. economic expansion, reasonably strong corporate profitability and accommodative Fed monetary policy. Over the full reporting period, mega-large-cap stocks, a narrow group of companies with unusually large weights in the broad equity index, outperformed, and growth companies in the information technology sector generally led, while many value stocks underperformed. Commodity-sensitive stocks, particularly those within the energy sector, lagged the most.

U.S. large-cap stocks (Russell 1000 Index) finished the reporting period up 7.48%; small-cap stocks (Russell 2000 Index) were hit harder in the coronavirus-driven selloff toward the end of the year, as investors tended to avoid smaller companies with lesser financial strength, and finished the period down 6.63%.

Despite continued accommodative monetary policy from the ECB, European equities lagged, as fears over trade wars and COVID-19 grew. The MSCI Europe Index (Net) fell 6.78% in U.S. dollar terms and was 5.71% lower in euros; the euro finished down 1.14% versus the U.S. dollar for the period. The MSCI ACWI Index (Net), a proxy for global equities in both developed and emerging markets, climbed 2.11% in U.S. dollar terms.

The FTSE UK Series All-Share Index was hit hard in the second half of the year; the index lost 15.55% in U.S. dollar terms over the full reporting period, while it fell 12.99% in sterling.

Emerging-market equities were down. Despite gaining 18.08% in the final quarter, the MSCI Emerging Markets Index (Net) finished the reporting period down 3.39% in U.S. dollar terms. U.S.-China trade news generally drove performance for the first six months; however, a mid-period rally after the U.S. and China agreed to a “phase-one” trade deal was wiped out after COVID-19 concerns accelerated.

Global government bonds outperformed global high-yield bonds as the rapid worldwide escalation of COVID-19 at the end of the period hit the bond market’s most economically sensitive sectors the hardest. The U.S. high-yield market, as measured by the ICE BofA US High Yield Constrained Index, was off 1.17% during the reporting period, while global fixed income, as measured by the Bloomberg Barclays Global Treasury Index, did better and climbed 3.75%.

A continuing theme for U.S. fixed-income markets was the inverted yield curve. In August, the spread between

2-year and 5-year Treasurys yields inverted, as did the spread between 3-year and 5-year Treasurys. Notably, the spread between 3-month and 10-year rates inverted for only the second time in about 12 years early in the reporting period, a signal of impending recession to some market watchers. The differential reverted in October, turned negative again for a short time in February, and then stayed in positive territory from March onward.

Yields for 10-year U.S. government bonds ended the period down 134 basis points at 0.66%, after hitting an all-time low of 0.54% in March as investors rushed to “safe-haven” securities; 2-year yields declined during the fiscal year to finish down 159 basis points at 0.16%.

Inflation-sensitive assets, such as commodities and Treasury inflation-protected securities, were mixed. The Bloomberg Commodity Total Return Index (which represents the broad commodity market) finished down 17.38% over the full one-year period, after an oil-production impasse between Saudi Arabia and Russia created a downdraft in the oil market around the same time that demand contracted due to the coronavirus pandemic; the Bloomberg Barclays 1-10 Year US TIPS Index (USD) moved 5.75% higher during the reporting period.

U.S. investment-grade corporate debt was higher; the Bloomberg Barclays US Corporate Investment Grade Index returned 9.50% as investors remained eager to buy higher-yielding securities. U.S. asset- and mortgage-backed securities also managed to rise during the fiscal year.

Despite coronavirus concerns and the steep drop in global oil prices, which led to a declining outlook for economic growth in the region, the J.P. Morgan Global Bond Index-Emerging Markets (GBI-EM) Global Diversified Index, which tracks local-currency-denominated EM bonds, declined 2.82% in U.S. dollar terms. The J.P. Morgan Emerging Markets Bond Index (EMBI) Global Diversified Index, which tracks EMD denominated in external currencies (such as the U.S. dollar), eked out a 0.49% gain for the fiscal year.

Our view

Despite mounting infections, hospitalizations and deaths from the pandemic—as well as the unprecedented stoppage of global economic activity—stock markets around the world managed to mount a resounding comeback over the final quarter of the fiscal year.

Our working assumption is that there will likely be another significant wave of infections going into the fall-to-winter flu season. The question is, how disruptive will it be to the global economy?

Investors seem to be ignoring the possibility that, even if a sustainable recovery gets under way, it may be a long time before most companies achieve previous levels of profitability. The after-tax profit margins of U.S. domestic businesses were already on a declining trend before the onset of the virus and shelter-in-place orders.

Margins will likely remain well below their previous peaks around the globe as long as the COVID-19 is a severe health threat. Most businesses, to one degree or another, are expected to endure lower sales, higher costs and a decline in productivity. There also will probably be a deadweight loss for industries needing extra inventory on hand in order to guard against future shortages and supply-chain disruptions caused by periodic flare-ups of the virus. “Just-in-time” inventory management will turn into “just-in-case” inventory management, tying up cash. Supply chains will likely be diversified over time, a process that was already under way as a result of the trade war between China and the US.

The extraordinary March-to-April lockdown in the U.S. necessitated fiscal measures unparalleled in scope and speed of implementation. The result has been a tsunami of red ink. The Congressional Budget Office projected the deficit will reach nearly 18% of U.S. gross domestic product (GDP) in 2020 and improve to only 10% of GDP in 2021. U.S. debt relative to GDP is forecast to rise to 108% by the end of fiscal year 2021 versus 79% at the end of fiscal year 2019.

These are unsettling numbers. Many investors wonder whether such a surge in government debt will provoke an economic crisis even after the pandemic runs its course. We don’t think that it will. The U.S. has a large, dynamic economy and deep capital markets. If investors were truly concerned about the long-run fiscal viability of the U.S., the value of its currency would have been falling more convincingly and long-term U.S. interest rates would have been going up (not down).

The policies pursued by the Fed have also served to keep interest rates low. Its balance sheet has ballooned this year, far exceeding the increases logged by the ECB or the BOJ.

The U.S. certainly is not alone in engaging in a huge fiscal response that is then monetized by the central bank. In our opinion, governments are treating the fight against COVID-19 like they would a war. As many resources as possible are being thrown into the fight, supported by debt issuance that is absorbed primarily by the central banks.

Those who remember the 1970s are understandably worried by the inflationary potential of such extraordinary debt monetization. If it does lead to inflation, it probably won’t be any time soon, in our opinion. Given our view that the economy will remain below full utilization of labor or productive capacity for the next few years, we believe inflation is unlikely to break out of the 0%-to-3% range it has been in for much of the past decade.

Investors do not seem too concerned about the speed of Europe’s economic recovery or the impact of the health crisis on countries’ fiscal positions. The bond yields of the most economically-fragile European countries remain close to those of German bund yields, although spreads have widened from pre-pandemic levels. The ECB has been quite successful in short-circuiting the liquidity crisis and flight-to-safety that threatened the euro area’s financial structure.

This laid-back view would be severely challenged if the 27 members of the EU fail to approve a 750 billion emergency fund when the EU’s leaders meet again in July. Although Germany has joined forces with France to push the package forward, there is still resistance from the likes of the Netherlands, Sweden, Denmark and Austria. There is disagreement, for example, over the split between grants and loans. Italy and Spain would be the biggest beneficiaries of grants to help offset their current fiscal dilemmas, while the remainder of the package would be distributed as conditional loans. Paying for the grants is an even greater source of contention. The European Commission (EC) would be empowered to issue long-term bonds, which would be paid down by giving the EC taxation authority (a power it currently does not have). The only alternative would be to increase contributions from member states (a bigger problem now that the U.K. is leaving the EU) or enact spending cuts in other parts of the EU budget.

Speaking of the U.K., the COVID-19 crisis has pushed Brexit concerns off the front pages. As the 31 December transition deadline nears, it could become an economic factor nearly as important as a second wave of the virus. If a deal on the UK-EU trading relationship is to be delivered before year-end, it probably should be concluded by the end of October so that countries have time to approve the treaty into law. Any free-trade agreement would require the U.K. to agree to permanently align its rules and regulations to those of the EU on an array of matters. The U.K. would essentially bear much of the EU membership cost without having a voice at the table that sets the rules. It is becoming increasingly likely that there either will be a modest agreement that includes tariffs or, in the worst-case scenario, a no-deal result that falls back on the World Trade Organization’s most-favored-nation rules.

While many factors determine equity performance, in the emerging-market space it has correlated with the extent of economic disruption caused by the virus. Asian and central European countries have pulled back the most on their mandates to restrict movement and social interaction. Latin America and India have eased some of those constraints, but not nearly as much as the other two regions. We continue to keep close tabs on China, as it was the first to lock down and first to unlock activity. We expect recovery patterns elsewhere in the world to follow that of China.

Central banks in the emerging world are also doing their part to help restore their economies. Interest rates have come down in almost every country in recent months to record-low levels in many cases. In addition, a dozen emerging-country central banks—including those with shakier reputations, such as South Africa and Turkey—are either buying or planning to purchase their government’s debt. We think this debt-monetization may lead to an inflation problem in the future.

It’s been said many times that bull markets climb a wall of worry. Maybe now they must learn to swim through waves of worry that include:

 

   

The possibility of a second wave of COVID-19 infections forcing another round of extensive lockdowns and shelter-in-place orders that could lead to a double-dip recession

 

   

A possible break down of political consensus regarding the way forward as economies struggle to regain strength

 

   

The likelihood that economic recovery will take at least a year, and likely longer—and that few economies are likely to rebound fully to pre-pandemic levels, even if most countries manage to avoid a disruptive second wave of the virus

Expectations that companies will face higher costs and increased inefficiencies; that taxes will almost certainly rise across many economies in the years ahead; and that bankruptcies and defaults will climb as government aid programs end

We believe that an ebb and flow of assorted concerns in the coming months will continue to spark volatility across financial markets. Such periods of instability are expected in any long-term investing plan; as such, SEI is just as prepared as always to navigate the current wave of deep uncertainty.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FUND PERFORMANCE

June 30, 2020 (Unaudited)

New Covenant Growth Fund

 

I. Objective

The New Covenant Growth Fund’s (the “Fund”) investment objective is long-term capital appreciation. A modest amount of dividend income may be provided by the Fund’s equity securities.

II. Investment Approach

The Fund uses a sub-adviser to manage the Fund under the supervision of SEI Investments Management Corporation (SIMC). The sole sub-adviser as of June 30, 2020, was Parametric Portfolio Associates LLC (Parametric). There were no sub-adviser changes during the fiscal period.

III. Return vs. Benchmark

For the one-year period ending June 30, 2020, the Fund returned 7.18%. In order to provide broader exposure to U.S. equity markets, the Fund changed its investment strategy during the reporting period. In connection with this strategy change, the Fund’s primary benchmark was changed from the Russell 1000® Index to the Russell 3000® Index, effective December 18, 2019. The Russell 1000® Index returned 9.19% for the period from July

1, 2019 through December 18, 2019, while the Russell 3000® Index returned -2.29% for the period from December 18, 2019 through June 30, 2020. Over the full fiscal year, the Russell 3000® Index returned 6.53%.

IV. Fund Attribution

The fiscal year ended up producing positive returns for equity investors after a year full of volatility as investors struggled to account for the economic effects of the COVID-19 pandemic. While the initial reaction to the virus in March 2020 resulted in a sharp drop in equities, markets recovered most of the losses over the next three months as monetary and fiscal stimulus actions taken by the U.S. government to help the economy were viewed positively by investors.

Information technology and consumer discretionary were the best-performing sectors during the full fiscal year. Both sectors especially benefited over the final quarter of the period as investors perceived them to provide a solution to the problems caused by the pandemic. Information technology led as a large portion of the domestic workforce began working from home during the lockdowns; consumer discretionary also outperformed as the sector benefited from stay-at-home orders and an increase in online shopping. Energy was the worst-performing sector as global fossil-fuel consumption plummeted due to a sharp

decrease in global travel as the virus spread; financials also underperformed as lower rates impacted the profit margins of banks.

In this environment, the Fund outperformed as its ESG tilt had a positive effect on performance. Sectors that held up better in the downturn—such as information technology, health care and consumer staples—typically were not prohibited by the Fund’s ESG guidelines; as a result, the Fund was overweight those names during the period. Underweights to real estate and industrials—as a result of their ESG screens—were also beneficial as both sectors underperformed due to the effects of the pandemic.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FUND PERFORMANCE

June 30, 2020 (Unaudited)

New Covenant Income Fund

 

I. Objective

The New Covenant Income Fund’s (the “Fund”) investment objective is a high level of current income with preservation of capital.

II. Investment Approach

The Fund uses a multi-manager approach, relying on a number of sub-advisers with different investment approaches to manage portions of the Fund’s portfolio, under the general supervision of SEI Investments Management Corporation (SIMC). The Fund utilized the following sub-advisers as of June 30, 2020: Income Research & Management, Western Asset Management Company and Western Asset Management Company Limited. There were no sub-adviser changes during the fiscal period.

III. Return vs. Benchmark

For the one-year period ending June 30, 2020, the Fund returned 5.91%. The Fund’s primary benchmark—the Bloomberg Barclays Intermediate US Aggregate Bond Index—returned 6.60%.

IV. Fund Attribution

An escalation of trade tensions between the U.S. and China early in the fiscal year created uncertainty in the market. Soon after the signing of a “phase one” trade deal in January appeared to calm investor concerns, market volatility escalated as the COVID-19 virus began to spread rapidly from China around the globe, resulting in a global pandemic. As noted in the shareholder letter, governments induced economic shutdowns and shelter-in-place orders, caused a severe contraction of economic activity. The Federal Reserve (Fed) lowered rates three times in 25-basis-point increments prior to the virus outbreak; the central bank then helped support markets as the virus impact magnified, with two emergency meetings in March that lowered the federal-funds target rate by 150 basis points to 0-0.25%. Credit spreads narrowed through the reporting period before widening dramatically in March to nearly 375 basis points, although spreads retraced over three quarters of the widening by the end of the reporting period. All non-Treasury sectors suffered losses during the March selloff. For the fiscal year, only agency mortgage-backed securities (MBS) and asset-backed securities (ABS) produced positive excess returns. As a result of Fed action and the flight to safety, Treasury yields declined sharply throughout the year, with 2-year yields declining 160 basis points, 10-year yields falling 135 basis points and 30-year yields off 112 basis points.

With the sharp decline in overall yields during the reporting period, the Fund’s absolute returns were strong, although it underperformed its primary benchmark. An overweight to and selection within commercial mortgage-backed securities (CMBS) detracted as economic concerns developed late in the period. Security selection within student loans also detracted, while selection within agency MBS through specified pools added to relative performance. An overweight to investment-grade corporates enhanced performance, especially within financials and industrials. An overweight to ABS was positive. The Fund’s yield-curve posture, which oscillated between long and short during the period, contributed to relative outperformance.

Western Asset Management outperformed primarily due to its corporate overweight, as well as strong selection within agency MBS through specified pools. Income Research & Management underperformed the benchmark and was hurt by its overweight to CMBS; selection within financials contributed to performance.

The Fund used Treasury futures, eurodollar futures and to-be-announced (TBA) forward contracts to effectively manage duration (a measure of a bond’s price sensitivity to changes in interest rates), yield-curve and market exposures. (TBA contracts confer the obligation to buy or sell future debt obligations of the three U.S. government-sponsored agencies that issue or guarantee MBS—Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac and Ginnie Mae.) None of these had a meaningful impact on the Fund’s performance.

New Covenant Funds / Annual Report / June 30, 2020


MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FUND PERFORMANCE

June 30, 2020 (Unaudited)

New Covenant Balanced Growth Fund

 

I. Objective

The Balanced Growth Fund’s (the “Fund”) investment objective is to produce capital appreciation with less risk than would be present in a portfolio of only common stocks.

II. Investment Approach

The Fund’s assets are managed under the direction of SEI Investments Management Corporation (“SIMC”), which manages the Fund’s assets in a way that it believes will achieve the Fund’s investment objective. In order to achieve its investment objective, SIMC allocates the Fund’s assets primarily in shares of the New Covenant Growth Fund (the “Growth Fund”) and the New Covenant Income Fund (the “Income Fund”), with a majority of its assets generally invested in shares of the Growth Fund. Between 45% and 75% of the Fund’s net assets (with a neutral position of approximately 60% of the Fund’s net assets) are invested in shares of the Growth Fund, with the balance of its assets invested in shares of the Income Fund. The Growth and Income Funds, in turn, invest directly in securities in accordance with their own varying investment objectives and policies.

III. Return vs. Benchmark

For the one-year period ending June 30, 2020, the Fund returned 7.57%. During the fiscal year, the Fund’s primary benchmark was changed from the Russell 1000® Index to the Russell 3000® Index, effective January 24, 2020. The Russell 1000® Index returned 13.02% for the period from July 1, 2019 through January, 24, 2020, while the Russell 3000® Index returned -5.40% for the period from January, 24, 2020 through June 30, 2020. Over the full fiscal year, the Russell 3000® Index returned 6.53%.

IV. Fund Attribution

Equity and fixed-income markets both provided positive returns over the fiscal period after a year full of volatility as investors struggled to account for the economic effects of the COVID-19 pandemic and U.S. long-term interest rates declined.

Information technology and consumer discretionary were the best-performing sectors during the full fiscal year. Both sectors especially benefited over the final quarter of the period as investors perceived them to provide a solution to the problems caused by the pandemic. Information technology led as a large portion of the domestic workforce began working from home during the lockdowns; consumer discretionary also

outperformed as the sector benefited from stay-at-home orders and an increase in online shopping. Energy was the worst-performing sector as global fossil-fuel consumption plummeted due to a sharp decrease in global travel; financials also underperformed as lower rates impacted the profit margins of banks.

As noted in the shareholder letter, governments induced economic shutdowns and shelter-in-place orders, caused a severe contraction of economic activity. The Federal Reserve (Fed) lowered rates three times in 25-basis-point increments prior to the virus outbreak; the central bank then helped support markets as the virus impact magnified, with two emergency meetings in March that lowered the federal-funds target rate by 150 basis points to 0-0.25%. Credit spreads narrowed through the reporting period before widening dramatically in March to nearly 375 basis points, although spreads retraced over three quarters of the widening by the end of the reporting period. All non-Treasury sectors suffered losses during the March selloff. For the fiscal year, only agency mortgage-backed securities (MBS) and asset-backed securities (ABS) produced positive excess returns. As a result of Fed action and the flight to safety, Treasury yields declined sharply throughout the year, with 2-year yields declining 160 basis points, 10-year yields falling 135 basis points and 30-year yields off 112 basis points.

In the Growth Fund, outperformance was driven by its environmental, social and governance (ESG) tilt, which had a positive effect on performance. Sectors that held up better in the downturn—such as information technology, health care and consumer staples—typically were not prohibited by the Fund’s ESG guidelines; as a result, the Fund was overweight those names during the period. Underweights to real estate and industrials—as a result of their ESG screens—were also beneficial as both sectors underperformed due to the effects of the pandemic.

With the sharp decline in overall yields during the reporting period, the Income Fund’s absolute returns were strong, although it underperformed its primary benchmark. An overweight to and selection within commercial mortgage-backed securities (CMBS) detracted as economic concerns developed late in the period. Security selection within student loans also detracted, while selection within agency MBS through specified pools added to relative performance.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FUND PERFORMANCE

June 30, 2020 (Unaudited)

New Covenant Balanced Income Fund

 

I. Objective

The Balanced Income Fund’s (the “Fund”) investment objective is to produce current income and long-term growth of capital.

II. Investment Approach

The Fund’s assets are managed under the direction of SEI Investments Management Corporation (“SIMC”), which manages the Fund’s assets in a way that it believes will achieve the Fund’s investment objective. In order to achieve its investment objective, SIMC allocates the Fund’s assets primarily in shares of the New Covenant Growth Fund (the “Growth Fund”) and the New Covenant Income Fund (the “Income Fund”), with a majority of its assets generally invested in shares of the Income Fund. Between fifty percent and seventy-five percent of the Fund’s net assets (with a neutral position of approximately 65%) are invested in shares of the Income Fund, with the balance of its net assets invested in shares of the Growth Fund. The Growth and Income Funds, in turn, invest directly in securities in accordance with their own varying investment objectives and policies.

III. Return vs. Benchmark

For the one-year period ending June 30, 2020, the Fund returned 7.14%. During the fiscal year, the Fund’s primary benchmark was changed from the Russell 1000® Index to the Russell 3000® Index, effective January 24, 2020. The Russell 1000® Index returned 13.02% for the period from July 1, 2019 through January, 24, 2020, while the Russell 3000® Index return -5.40% for the period from January, 24, 2020 through June 30, 2020.

As a result of Fed action and the flight to safety, Treasury yields declined sharply throughout the year, with 2-year yields declining 160 basis points, 10-year yields falling 135 basis points and 30-year yields off 112 basis points.

While the initial reaction to the virus in March 2020 resulted in a sharp drop in equities, markets recovered most of the losses over the next three months as monetary and fiscal stimulus actions taken by the U.S. government to help the economy were viewed positively by investors.

The best-performing sectors during the year were those that investors perceived to provide a solution to the problems caused by the pandemic. Information technology led as a large portion of the domestic workforce began working from home during the lockdowns; consumer discretionary also outperformed as the sector benefited from stay-at-home orders and an increase in online shopping.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

June 30, 2020

 

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. Effective February 20, 2012, the Funds’ investment adviser is SEI Investments Management Corporation (the “Adviser”). Prior to February 20, 2012, the Funds’ investment adviser was One Compass Advisors, a wholly owned subsidiary of the Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.) Foundation.

The objectives of the Funds are as follows:

 

Growth Fund

   Long-term capital appreciation. A modest amount of dividend income may be produced by the Fund’s equity securities.

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.

2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The following are significant accounting policies, which are consistently followed in the preparation of its financial statements by the Funds. The Funds are investment companies that apply the accounting and reporting guidance issued in Topic 946 by the U.S. Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”).

Use of Estimates — The preparation of financial statements, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”), requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amount of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of increases and decreases in net assets from operations during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Security Valuation — Securities listed on a securities exchange, market or automated quotation system for which quotations are readily available (except for securities traded on NASDAQ) are valued at the last quoted sale price on the primary exchange or market (foreign or domestic) on which they are traded, or, if there is no such reported sale, at the most recent quoted bid price. For securities traded on NASDAQ, the NASDAQ Official Closing Price will be used. Debt securities are priced based upon valuations provided by independent, third-party pricing agents, if available. Such values generally reflect the last reported sales price if the security is actively traded. The third-party pricing agents may also value debt securities at an evaluated bid price by employing methodologies that utilize actual market transactions, broker-supplied valuations, or other methodologies designed to identify the market value for such securities. Debt obligations acquired with remaining maturities of sixty days or less may be valued at their amortized cost, which approximates market value. The prices for foreign securities are reported in local currency and converted to U.S. dollars using currency exchange rates. Prices for most securities held in the Funds are provided daily by recognized independent pricing agents. If a security price cannot be obtained from an independent, third-party pricing agent, the Funds seek to obtain a bid price from at least one independent broker.

Securities for which market prices are not “readily available” are valued in accordance with fair value procedures established by the Trust’s Board of Trustees. The Trust’s fair value procedures are implemented through a Fair Value Committee (the “Committee”) designated by the Trust’s Board of Trustees. Some of the more common reasons that may necessitate that a security be valued using fair value procedures include: the security’s trading has been halted or suspended; the security has been de-listed from a national exchange; the security’s primary trading market is temporarily closed at a time when under normal conditions it would be open; or the security’s primary pricing source is not able or willing to provide a price. When a security is valued in accordance with the fair value procedures, the Committee will determine the value after taking into consideration relevant information reasonably available to the Committee.

New Covenant Funds / Annual Report / June 30, 2020


 

 

 

For securities that principally trade on a foreign market or exchange, a significant gap in time can exist between the time of a particular security’s last trade and the time at which a Fund calculates its net asset value. The closing prices of such securities may no longer reflect their market value at the time a Fund calculates net asset value if an event that could materially affect the value of those securities (a “Significant Event”) has occurred between the time of the security’s last close and the time that a Fund calculates net asset value. A Significant Event may relate to a single issuer or to an entire market sector. If the adviser or sub-adviser of a Fund becomes aware of a Significant Event that has occurred with respect to a security or group of securities after the closing of the exchange or market on which the security or securities principally trade, but before the time at which a Fund calculates net asset value, the adviser or sub-adviser may request that a Committee Meeting be called. In addition, the Trust’s administrator monitors price movements among certain selected indices, securities and/or baskets of securities that may be an indicator that the closing prices received earlier from foreign exchanges or markets may not reflect market value at the time a Fund calculates net asset value. If price movements in a monitored index or security exceed levels established by the administrator, the administrator notifies the adviser or sub-adviser for any Fund holding the relevant securities that such limits have been exceeded. In such event, the adviser or sub-adviser makes the determination whether a Committee Meeting should be called based on the information provided.

The Growth Fund holds international securities that also use a third-party fair valuation vendor. The vendor provides a fair value for foreign securities held by this Fund based on certain factors and methodologies (involving, generally, tracking valuation correlations between the U.S. market and each non-U.S. security). Values from the fair value vendor are applied in the event that there is a movement in the U.S. market that exceeds a specific threshold that has been established by the Committee. The Committee has also established a “confidence interval” which is used to determine the level of historical correlation between the value of a specific foreign security and movements in the U.S. market before a particular security will be fair valued when the threshold is exceeded. In the event that the threshold established by the Committee is exceeded on a specific day, the Growth Fund will value the non-U.S. securities that exceed the applicable “confidence interval” based upon the adjusted prices provided by the fair valuation vendor.

Options for which the primary market is a national securities exchange are valued at the last sale price on the exchange on which they are traded, or, in the absence of any sale, at the closing bid price. Options not traded on a national securities exchange are valued at the last quoted bid price.

Futures cleared through a central clearing house (“centrally cleared futures”) are valued at the settlement price established each day by the board of exchange on which they are traded. The daily settlement prices for financial futures is provided by an independent source. On days when there is excessive volume, market volatility or the future does not end trading by the time a Fund calculates its NAV, the settlement price may not be available at the time at which the Fund calculates its NAV. On such days, the best available price (which is typically the last sales price) may be used to value a Fund’s futures position.

The assets of the Balanced Growth Fund and the Balanced Income Fund (the “Balanced Funds”) consist primarily of investments in underlying affiliated investment companies, which are valued at their respective daily net asset values in accordance with the established NAV of each fund.

In accordance with U.S. GAAP, fair value is defined as the price that a Fund would receive upon selling an investment in an orderly transaction to an independent buyer in the principal or most advantageous market of the investment. A three tier hierarchy has been established to maximize the use of observable and minimize the use of unobservable inputs and to establish classification of fair value measurements for disclosure purposes. Inputs refer broadly to the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset. Inputs may be observable or unobservable. Observable inputs are inputs that reflect the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability based on market data obtained from sources independent of the reporting entity. Unobservable inputs are inputs that reflect the reporting entity’s own assumptions about the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability based on the best information available in the circumstances.

The three-tier hierarchy of inputs is summarized in the three broad Levels listed below:

Level 1 — quoted prices in active markets for identical investments

Level 2 — other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar investments, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risks, etc.)

 

 

New Covenant Funds / Annual Report / June 30, 2020

     61  


NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

June 30, 2020

 

 

Level 3 — significant unobservable inputs (including the Fund’s own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments)

The valuation techniques used by the Funds to measure fair value during the year ended June 30, 2020 maximized the use of observable inputs and minimized the use of unobservable inputs.

For the year ended June 30, 2020, there have been no significant changes to the Trust’s fair valuation methodologies. For details of the investment classifications reference the Schedules of Investments.

Securities Transactions and Investment Income — Security transactions are recorded on the trade date. Cost used in determining net realized capital gains and losses on the sale of securities is determined on the basis of specific identification. Dividend income and expense is recognized on the ex-dividend date, and interest income or expense is recognized using the accrual basis of accounting.

Distributions received on securities that represent a return of capital or capital gains are recorded as a reduction of cost of investments and/or as a realized gain. The Trust estimates the components of distributions received that may be considered nontaxable distributions or capital gain distributions.

Amortization and accretion is calculated using the scientific interest method, which approximates the effective interest method over the holding period of the security. Amortization of premiums and discounts is included in interest income.

Cash and Cash Equivalents — Idle cash and currency balances may be swept into various overnight sweep accounts and are classified as cash equivalents on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. These amounts, at times, may exceed United States federally insured limits. Amounts swept are available on the next business day.

Expenses — Expenses that are directly related to a Fund are charged directly to that Fund. Other operating expenses of the Funds are prorated to the Funds on the basis of relative net assets.

Foreign Currency Translation — The books and records of the Funds investing in international securities are maintained in U.S. dollars on the following basis:

(I) market value of investment securities, assets and liabilities at the current rate of exchange; and

(II) purchases and sales of investment securities, income and expenses at the relevant rates of exchange prevailing on the respective dates of such transactions.

The Funds do not isolate that portion of gains and losses on investments in equity securities that is due to changes in the foreign exchange rates from that which is due to changes in market prices of equity securities.

The Funds report certain foreign-currency-related transactions as components of realized gains for financial reporting purposes, whereas such components are treated as ordinary income for Federal income tax purposes.

Repurchase Agreements — To the extent consistent with its investment objective and strategies, a Fund 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.

Futures Contracts — To the extent consistent with its investment objective and strategies, a Fund may use futures contracts for tactical hedging purposes as well as to enhance the Fund’s returns. These Funds’ investments in futures contracts are designed to enable the Funds to more closely approximate the performance of their benchmark indices. Initial margin deposits of cash or securities are made upon entering into futures contracts. The contracts are marked-to-market daily and the resulting changes in value are accounted for as unrealized gains and losses. Variation margin payments are paid or received, depending upon whether unrealized gains or losses are incurred. When contracts are closed, the Funds record a realized gain or loss equal to the difference between the proceeds from (or cost of) the closing transaction and the amount invested in the contract.

Risks of entering into futures contracts include the possibility that there will be an imperfect price correlation between the futures and the underlying securities. Second, it is possible that a lack of liquidity for futures contracts could exist in the secondary market, resulting in an inability to close a position prior to its maturity date. Third, futures contracts involve the risk that a Fund could lose more than the original margin deposit required to initiate a futures transaction.

Finally, the risk exists that losses could exceed amounts disclosed on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities. Refer to each Fund’s Schedule of Investments for details regarding open futures contracts as of June 30, 2020, if applicable.

Options Writing/Purchasing — To the extent consistent with its investment objective and strategies, a Fund may invest in financial options contracts for the purpose of hedging its existing portfolio securities, or securities that a Fund intends to purchase, against fluctuations in fair market value caused by changes in prevailing market interest rates. A Fund may also invest in financial option contracts to enhance its returns. When the Fund writes or purchases an option, an amount equal to the premium received or paid by the Fund is recorded as a liability or an asset and is subsequently adjusted to the current market value of the option written or purchased. Premiums received or paid from writing or purchasing options which expire unexercised are treated by the Fund on the expiration date as realized gains or losses. The difference between the premium and the amount paid or received on affecting a closing purchase or sale transaction, including brokerage commissions, is also treated as a realized gain or loss. If an option is exercised, the premium paid or received is added to the cost of the purchase or proceeds from the sale in determining whether the Fund has realized a gain or a loss.

The risk in writing a call option is a Fund may give up the opportunity for profit if the market price of the security increases. The risk in writing a put option is a Fund may incur a loss if the market price of the security decreases and the option is exercised. The risk in purchasing an option is a Fund may pay a premium whether or not the option is exercised. The Funds also have the additional risk of being unable to enter into a closing transaction at an acceptable price if a liquid secondary market does not exist. Option contracts also involve the risk that they may not work as intended due to unanticipated developments in market conditions or other causes.

Forward Treasury Commitments — To the extent consistent with its investment objective and strategies, the Growth Fund and Income Fund may invest in commitments to purchase U.S. Treasury securities on an extended settlement basis. Such transactions involve the commitment to purchase a security with payment and delivery taking place in the future, sometimes a month or more after the transaction date. The Funds account for such transactions as purchases and sales and record an unrealized gain or loss each day equal to the difference between the cost of the purchase commitment and the current market value. Realized gains or losses are recorded upon closure or settlement of such commitments. No interest is earned prior to settlement of the transaction. These instruments are subject to market fluctuation due to changes in interest rates and the market value at the time of settlement could be higher or lower than the purchase price. A Fund may incur losses due to changes in the value of the underlying treasury securities from interest rate fluctuations or as a result of counterparty nonperformance. These transactions may increase the overall investment exposure for a Fund (and so may also create investment leverage) and involve a risk of loss if the value of the securities declines prior to the settlement date.

Master Limited Partnerships — To the extent consistent with its investment objective and strategies, a Fund may invest in entities commonly referred to as “MLPs” that are generally organized under state law as limited partnerships or limited liability companies. The Funds intend to primarily invest in MLPs receiving partnership taxation treatment under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 (the “Code”), and whose interests or “units” are traded on securities exchanges like shares of corporate stock. To be treated as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes, an MLP whose units are traded on a securities exchange must receive at least 90% of its income from qualifying sources such as interest, dividends, real estate rents, gain from the sale or disposition of real property, income and gain from mineral or natural resources activities, income and gain from the transportation or storage of certain fuels, and, in certain circumstances, income and gain from commodities or futures, for- wards and options with respect to commodities. Mineral or natural resources activities include exploration, development, production, processing, mining, refining, marketing and transportation (including pipelines) of oil and gas, minerals, geothermal energy, fertilizer, timber or industrial source carbon dioxide. An MLP consists of a general partner and limited partners (or in the case of MLPs organized as limited liability companies, a managing member and members). The general partner or managing member typically controls the operations and management of the MLP and has an ownership stake in the partnership. The limited partners or members, through their ownership of limited partner or member interests, provide capital to the entity, are intended to have no role in the operation and management of the entity and receive cash distributions. The MLPs themselves generally do not pay U.S. Federal income taxes. Thus, unlike investors in corporate securities, direct MLP investors are generally not subject to double taxation (i.e., corporate level tax and tax on corporate dividends). Currently, most MLPs operate in the energy and/or natural resources sector.

Delayed Delivery Transactions — To the extent consistent with its investment objective and strategies, the Growth Fund and Income Fund may purchase or sell securities on a when-issued or delayed delivery basis. These

     63  


NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

June 30, 2020

 

 

transactions involve a commitment by those Funds to purchase or sell securities for a predetermined price or yield, with payment and delivery taking place beyond the customary settlement period. When delayed delivery purchases are outstanding, the Funds will set aside liquid assets in an amount sufficient to meet the purchase price. When purchasing a security on a delayed delivery basis, that Fund assumes the rights and risks of ownership of the security, including the risk of price and yield fluctuations, and takes such fluctuations into account when determining its net asset value. Those Funds may dispose of or renegotiate a delayed delivery transaction after it is entered into, and may sell when-issued securities before they are delivered, which may result in a capital gain or loss. When those Funds have sold a security on a delayed delivery basis, that Fund does not participate in future gains and losses with respect to the security.

Dividends and Distributions to Shareholders — Dividends from net investment income are declared and paid to shareholders quarterly for the Growth Fund, Balanced Growth Fund and Balanced Income Fund; declared and paid monthly for the Income Fund. Dividends and distributions are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Any net realized capital gains will be distributed at least annually by the Funds.

Illiquid Securities — A security is considered illiquid if it cannot be sold or disposed of in the ordinary course of business within seven days or less for its approximate carrying value on the books of a Fund. Valuations of illiquid securities may differ significantly from the values that would have been used had an active market value for these securities existed. As of June 30, 2020, the Funds did not own any illiquid securities.

Investments in Real Estate Investment Trusts (“REITs”) — Dividend income is recorded based on the income included in distributions received from the REIT investments using published REIT reclassifications including some management estimates when actual amounts are not available. Distributions received in excess of this estimated amount are recorded as a reduction of the cost of investments or reclassified to capital gains. The actual amounts of income, return of capital, and capital gains are only determined by each REIT after its fiscal year-end, and may differ from the estimated amounts.

3. AGREEMENTS AND OTHER TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES

Administration Agreement — The Trust entered into an Administration Agreement with SEI Investments Global Funds Services (the “Administrator”). Under the Administration Agreement, the Administrator provides administrative and accounting services to the Funds. The Administrator has voluntarily agreed to waive a portion of its fee so that the total annual expenses of the Balanced Growth Fund and the Balanced Income Fund, exclusive of acquired fund fees and expenses, will not exceed certain voluntary expense limitations adopted by the Adviser. Accordingly, effective April 1, 2017, the voluntary expense limitations are 0.13% and 0.15% for the Balanced Growth Fund and the Balanced Income Fund, respectively. These voluntary waivers may be terminated by the adviser at any time. The following is a summary of annual fees payable to the Administrator:

 

     First $2.5 Billion   Next $500 Million   Over $3 Billion        

Growth Fund

   0.2000%   0.1650%   0.1200%
     First $1.5 Billion   Next $500 Million   Next $500 Million   Next $500 Million   Over $3 Billion

Income Fund

   0.2000%   0.1775%   0.1550%   0.1325%   0.1100%

Balanced Growth Fund

   0.1500%   0.1375%   0.1250%   0.1125%   0.1000%

Balanced Income Fund

   0.1500%   0.1375%   0.1250%   0.1125%   0.1000%

Transfer Agent Servicing Agreement — In 2008, the Trust entered into a transfer agent servicing agreement (“Agreement”) with U.S. Bancorp Fund Services, LLC (“USBFS”), an indirect, wholly-owned subsidiary of U.S. Bancorp. Under the terms of the Agreement, USBFS is entitled to account based fees and annual fund level fees, as well as reimbursement of out-of-pocket expenses incurred in providing transfer agency services.

Investment Advisory Agreement — The Trust, on behalf of each Fund, entered into an Investment Advisory Agreement (“Agreement”) with SEI Investments Management Corporation (the “Adviser”). Under the Agreement, the Adviser is responsible for the investment management of the Funds and receives an annual advisory fee of 0.47% for the Growth Fund and 0.42% for the Income Fund. The Adviser does not receive an advisory fee for the Balanced Growth Fund and Balanced Income Fund. The Adviser has voluntarily agreed to waive a portion of its fee so that the total annual expenses of the Growth and Income Funds, exclusive of acquired fund fees and expenses, will not exceed certain voluntary expense limitations adopted by the Adviser. Accordingly, effective April 1, 2017, the

 

 

64   

New Covenant Funds / Annual Report / June 30, 2020


 

 

 

voluntary expense limitation is 0.80% for the Income Fund. The voluntary expense limitation for the Growth Fund was 0.87% until May 13, 2019 when the voluntary expense limitation was changed to 0.72%.

The Adviser has entered into sub-advisory agreements to assist in the selection and management of investment securities in the Growth Fund and the Income Fund. 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, in arrears, for their services. The Adviser pays sub-advisory fees directly from its own advisory fee. The sub-advisory fees are based on the assets of the Fund allocated to the sub-adviser for which the sub- adviser is responsible for making investment decisions.

The following is the sub-adviser for the Growth Fund: Parametric Portfolio Associates LLC.

The following are the sub-advisers for the Income Fund: Income Research & Management, Western Asset Management Company and Western Asset Management Company Limited.

Shareholder Service Plan and Agreement — The Trust entered into a Shareholder Service Plan and Agreement (the “Agreement”) with the Distributor. Per the Agreement, a Fund is authorized to make payments to certain entities which may include investment advisors, 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 Providers for its clients or other parties with whom they have a servicing relationship. Under the terms of the Agreement, the Growth Fund and the Income Funds are authorized to pay an Authorized Service Provider a shareholder servicing fee at an annual rate of up to 0.10% of the average daily net asset value of the Growth Fund and Income Fund, respectively, which fee will be computed daily and paid monthly, for providing certain administrative services to Fund shareholders with whom the Authorized Service Provider has a servicing relationship.

Distribution Agreement — The Trust issues shares of the Funds pursuant to a Distribution Agreement with SEI Investments Distribution Co. (the “Distributor”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of SEI Investments Company (“SEI”). The Funds do not compensate the Distributor in its capacity as principal distributor.

Social Witness Services and License Agreement — The Trust retained New Covenant Trust Company (“NCTC”) to ensure that each Fund continues to invest consistent with social witness principles adopted by the General Assembly of the Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.). No less than annually, NCTC will provide the Trust with an updated list of issuers in which the Funds will be prohibited from investing.

NCTC will distribute to the Trust proxy voting guidelines and shareholder advocacy services for the Funds that NCTC deems to be consistent with social witness principles adopted by the General Assembly of the Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.). The Trust also engages NCTC to vote Fund proxies consistent with such proxy voting guidelines. NCTC shall monitor and review and, as necessary, amend the Proxy Voting Guidelines periodically to ensure that they remain consistent with the social witness principles.

NCTC also grants to the Trust a non-exclusive right and license to use and refer to the trade name, trademark and/ or service mark rights to the name “New Covenant Funds” and the phrase “Funds with a Mission”, in the name of the Trust and each Fund, and in connection with the offering, marketing, promotion, management and operation of the Trust and the Funds.

In consideration of the services provided by NCTC, the Growth Fund and the Income Fund will each pay to NCTC a fee at an annual rate of 0.15% of the average daily net asset value of the shares of such Fund, which fee will be computed daily and paid monthly.

Payment to Affiliates — Certain officers and/or interested trustees of the Trust are also officers of the Distributor, the Adviser, the Administrator or NCTC. The Trust pays each unaffiliated Trustee an annual fee for attendance at quarterly and interim board meetings. Compensation of officers and affiliated Trustees of the Trust is paid by the Adviser, the Administrator or NCTC.

A portion of the services provided by the Chief Compliance Officer (“CCO”) and his staff, whom are employees of the Administrator, are paid for by the Trust as incurred. The services include regulatory oversight of the Trust’s Adviser, sub-advisers and service providers as required by SEC regulations. The CCO’s services have been approved by and are reviewed annually by the Board.

Investment in Affiliated Security — The Funds may invest excess cash in the SEI Daily Income Trust (SDIT) Government Fund, an affiliated money market fund. The Balanced Funds invest in the Growth Fund and Income Fund.

Interfund Lending — The SEC has granted an exemption that permits the Trust to participate in an interfund lending program (the ‘‘Program’’) with existing or future investment companies registered under the 1940 Act that are advised by SIMC (the ‘‘SEI Funds’’). The Program allows the SEI Funds to lend money to and borrow money from each other for temporary or emergency purposes. Participation in the Program is voluntary for both borrowing and lending funds. Interfund loans may be made only when the rate of interest to be charged is more favorable to the lending fund than an investment in overnight repurchase agreements (‘‘Repo Rate’’), and more favorable to the borrowing fund than the rate of interest that would be charged by a bank for short-term borrowings (‘‘Bank Loan Rate’’). The Bank Loan Rate will be determined using a formula reviewed annually by the SEI Funds’ Board of Trustees. The interest rate imposed on interfund loans is the average of the Repo Rate and the Bank Loan Rate. During the year ended June 30, 2020, the Trust did not participate in interfund lending.

4. DERIVATIVE TRANSACTIONS

The International Swaps and Derivatives Association, Inc. Master Agreements and Credit Support Annexes (“ISDA Master Agreements”) maintain provisions for general obligations, representations, agreements, collateral, and events of default or termination. The occurrence of a specified event of termination may give a counterparty the right to terminate all of its contracts and affect settlement of all outstanding transactions under the applicable ISDA Master Agreement.

To reduce counterparty risk with respect to Over The Counter (“OTC”) transactions, the Funds have entered into master netting arrangements, established within the Funds’ ISDA master agreements, which allow the Funds to make (or to have an entitlement to receive) a single net payment in the event of default (close-out netting) for outstanding payables and receivables with respect to certain OTC positions in swaps for each individual counterparty. In addition, the Funds may require that certain counterparties post cash and/or securities in collateral accounts to cover their net payment obligations for those derivative contracts subject to ISDA Master Agreements. If the counterparty fails to perform under these contracts and agreements, the cash and/or securities will be made available to the Funds.

For financial reporting purposes, the Funds do not offset derivative assets and derivative liabilities that are subject to netting arrangements in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities and therefore disclose these derivative assets and derivative liabilities on a gross basis. Bankruptcy or insolvency laws of a particular jurisdiction may impose restrictions on or prohibitions against the right of offset in bankruptcy, insolvency or other events.

Collateral terms are contract specific for OTC derivatives. For derivatives traded under an ISDA Master Agreement, the collateral requirements are typically calculated by netting the mark to market amount of each transaction under such agreement and comparing that amount to the value of any collateral currently pledged by the Funds or the counterparty. For financial reporting purposes, cash collateral that has been pledged to cover obligations of the Funds, if any, is reported separately on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities as cash pledged as collateral. Non-cash collateral pledged by the Funds, if any, is noted in the Schedules of Investments. Generally, the amount of collateral due from or to a party must exceed a minimum transfer amount threshold before a transfer has to be made. To the extent amounts due to the Funds from its counterparties are not fully collateralized, contractually or otherwise, the Funds bear the risk of loss from counterparty nonperformance.

6. FEDERAL TAX INFORMATION

It is each Fund’s intention to continue to qualify as a regulated investment company under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code and distribute all of its taxable income (including net capital gains). Accordingly, no provision for federal income tax is required.

Dividends from net investment income and distributions from net realized capital gains are determined in accordance with U.S. Federal income tax regulations, which may differ from those amounts determined under U.S. GAAP. These book/tax differences are either temporary or permanent in nature. To the extent these differences are permanent, they are charged or credited to paid-in capital or distributable earnings (loss), as appropriate, in the period that the differences arise.

The permanent differences primarily consist of reclassification of capital gain distribution on REITs and RICs, investments in publicly traded partnerships, and gains and losses on paydowns of mortgage and asset-backed securities for tax purposes. There are no permanent difference that are credited or charged to Paid-in Capital and Distributable Earnings as of June 30, 2020.

For Federal income tax purposes, the cost of securities owned at June 30, 2020, and the net realized gains or losses on securities sold for the period were not materially different from amounts reported for financial reporting purposes. These differences are primarily due to wash sales, MLP basis adjustments and basis adjustments from investments in registered investment companies which cannot be used for Federal income tax purposes in the current year and have been deferred for use in future years.

Management has analyzed the Funds’ tax positions taken on Federal income tax returns for all open tax years and has concluded that as of June 30, 2020, no provision for income tax would be required in the Funds’ financial statements. The Funds’ Federal and state income and Federal excise tax returns for tax years for which the applicable statutes of limitations have not expired are subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service and state departments of revenue.

7. CONCENTRATIONS/RISKS

In the normal course of business, the Trust enters into contracts that provide general indemnifications by the Trust to the counterparty to the contract. The Trust’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is dependent on future

 

 

68   

New Covenant Funds / Annual Report / June 30, 2020


 

 

 

claims that may be made against the Trust and, therefore, cannot be estimated; however, management believes that, based on experience, the risk of loss from such claims is considered remote.

Asset Allocation Risk — The risk that SIMC’s decisions regarding the allocation of Fund assets to the Growth Fund and Income Fund will not anticipate market trends successfully.

Asset-Backed Securities Risk — Payment of principal and interest on asset-backed securities is dependent largely on the cash flows generated by the assets backing the securities. Securitization trusts generally do not have any assets or sources of funds other than the receivables and related property they own, and asset-backed securities are generally not insured or guaranteed by the related sponsor or any other entity. Asset-backed securities may be more illiquid than more conventional types of fixed income securities that the Fund may acquire.

Below Investment Grade Securities (Junk Bonds) Risk — Fixed income securities rated below investment grade (junk bonds) involve greater risks of default or downgrade and are generally more volatile than investment grade securities because the prospect for repayment of principal and interest of many of these securities is speculative. Because these securities typically offer a higher rate of return to compensate investors for these risks, they are sometimes referred to as “high yield bonds,” but there is no guarantee that an investment in these securities will result in a high rate of return. These risks may be increased in foreign and emerging markets.

Corporate Fixed Income Securities Risk — Corporate fixed income securities respond to economic developments, especially changes in interest rates, as well as perceptions of the creditworthiness and business prospects of individual issuers.

Credit Risk — The risk that the issuer of a security or the counterparty to a contract will default or otherwise become unable to honor a financial obligation.

Duration Risk — The longer-term securities in which the Fund may invest are more volatile. A portfolio with a longer average portfolio duration is more sensitive to changes in interest rates than a portfolio with a shorter average portfolio duration.

Economic Risks of Global Health Events — Global health events and pandemics, such as COVID-19, have the ability to affect—quickly, drastically and substantially the economies of many nations, states, individual companies and the markets in general and can cause disruptions that cannot necessarily be foreseen. The spread of COVID-19 around the world in 2020 resulted in a substantial number of nations implementing social distancing measures, quarantines, and the shutdown of non-essential businesses and governmental services. Further, it has caused significant volatility in U.S. and international markets. The impact of the outbreak may be short term or may last for an extended period of time.

Equity Market Risk — The risk that the market value of a security may move up and down, sometimes rapidly and unpredictably. Market risk may affect a single issuer, an industry, a sector or the equity or bond market as a whole.

Extension Risk — The risk that rising interest rates may extend the duration of a fixed income security, typically reducing the security’s value.

Fixed Income Market Risk — The prices of the Fund’s fixed income securities respond to economic developments, particularly interest rate changes, as well as to perceptions about the creditworthiness of individual issuers, including governments and their agencies. Generally, the Fund’s fixed income securities will decrease in value if interest rates rise and vice versa. In a low interest rate environment, risks associated with rising rates are heightened. In the case of foreign securities, price fluctuations will reflect international economic and political events, as well as changes in currency valuations relative to the U.S. dollar.

Foreign Investment/Emerging Markets Risk — The risk that non-U.S. securities may be subject to additional risks due to, among other things, political, social and economic developments abroad, currency movements and different legal, regulatory and tax environments. These additional risks may be heightened with respect to emerging market countries because political turmoil and rapid changes in economic conditions are more likely to occur in these countries.

Foreign Sovereign Debt Securities Risk — The risks that (i) the governmental entity that controls the repayment of sovereign debt may not be willing or able to repay the principal and/or interest when it becomes due because of factors such as debt service burden, political constraints, cash flow problems and other national economic factors; (ii) governments may default on their debt securities, which may require holders of such securities to participate in debt

rescheduling or additional lending to defaulting governments; and (iii) there is no bankruptcy proceeding by which defaulted sovereign debt may be collected in whole or in part.

Interest Rate Risk — The risk that a rise in interest rates will cause a fall in the value of fixed income securities, including U.S. Government securities, in which the Fund invests. A low interest rate environment may present greater interest rate risk, because there may be a greater likelihood of rates increasing and rates may increase more rapidly.

Investment Style Risk — The risk that the equity securities in which the Fund invests may underperform other segments of the equity markets or the equity markets as a whole.

Liquidity Risk — The risk that certain securities may be difficult or impossible to sell at the time and the price that the Fund would like. The Fund may have to accept a lower price to sell a security, sell other securities to raise cash or give up an investment opportunity, any of which could have a negative effect on Fund management or performance.

Mortgage-Backed Securities Risk — Mortgage-backed securities are affected significantly by the rate of prepayments and modifications of the mortgage loans backing those securities, as well as by other factors such as borrower defaults, delinquencies, realized or liquidation losses and other shortfalls. Mortgage-backed securities are particularly sensitive to prepayment risk, which is described below, given that the term to maturity for mortgage loans is generally substantially longer than the expected lives of those securities; however, the timing and amount of prepayments cannot be accurately predicted. The timing of changes in the rate of prepayments of the mortgage loans may significantly affect the Fund’s actual yield to maturity on any mortgage-backed securities, even if the average rate of principal payments is consistent with the Fund’s expectation. Along with prepayment risk, mortgage-backed securities are significantly affected by interest rate risk, which is described above. In a low interest rate environment, mortgage loan prepayments would generally be expected to increase due to factors such as refinancings and loan modifications at lower interest rates. In contrast, if prevailing interest rates rise, prepayments of mortgage loans would generally be expected to decline and therefore extend the weighted average lives of mortgage-backed securities held or acquired by the Fund.

Opportunity Risk — The risk of missing out on an investment opportunity because the assets necessary to take advantage of it are tied up in other investments.

Portfolio Turnover Risk — Due to its investment strategy, the Fund may buy and sell securities frequently. This may result in higher transaction costs and additional capital gains tax liabilities, which may affect the Fund’s performance.

Prepayment Risk — The risk that, in a declining interest rate environment, fixed income securities with stated interest rates may have the principal paid earlier than expected, requiring the Fund to invest the proceeds at generally lower interest rates.

Repurchase Agreement Risk — Although repurchase agreement transactions must be fully collateralized at all times, they generally create leverage and involve some counterparty risk to the Fund whereby a defaulting counterparty could delay or prevent the Fund’s recovery of collateral.

Small Capitalization Risk — Smaller capitalization companies in which the Fund may invest may be more vulnerable to adverse business or economic events than larger, more established companies. In particular, small capitalization companies may have limited product lines, markets and financial resources and may depend upon a relatively small management group. Therefore, small capitalization stocks may be more volatile than those of larger companies. Small capitalization stocks may be traded over-the-counter or listed on an exchange.

Social-Witness Principles/Socially Responsible Investing Risk — The Fund considers various social- witness principles and other socially responsible investing principles in its investment process and may choose not to purchase, or may sell, otherwise profitable investments in companies which have been identified as being in conflict with its established social-witness principles and other socially responsible investing principles. This means that the Fund may underperform other similar mutual funds that do not consider social-witness principles and other socially responsible investing principles in their investing.

U.S. Government Securities Risk — Although U.S. Government securities are considered to be among the safest investments, they are not guaranteed against price movements due to changing interest rates. Obligations issued by some U.S. Government agencies are backed by the U.S. Treasury, while others are backed solely by the ability of the agency to borrow from the U.S. Treasury or by the agency’s own resources.

The Balanced Growth Fund and Balanced Income Fund 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

 

 

70   

New Covenant Funds / Annual Report / June 30, 2020


 

 

 

portion of the operating expenses, management fees 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. 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.

8. CONCENTRATION OF SHAREHOLDERS

9. ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENT

In August 2018, The FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2018-13, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820). The new guidance includes additions and modifications to disclosures requirements for fair value measurements. For public entities, the amendments are effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Management elected to early adopt the removal and modifications of certain disclosures and delay the adoption of additional disclosures until the effective date.

10. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

Management has evaluated the need for disclosures and/or adjustments resulting from subsequent events through the date the financial statements were issued. Based on this evaluation, no disclosures and/or adjustments were required to the financial statements as of June 30, 2020.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Shareholders of the Funds and Board of Trustees

New Covenant Funds:

Opinion on the Financial Statements

We have audited the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities of New Covenant Funds (the “Trust”), comprised of the New Covenant Growth Fund, New Covenant Income Fund, New Covenant Balanced Growth Fund, and New Covenant Balanced Income Fund (collectively, the “Funds”), including the schedules of investments, as of June 30, 2020, the related statements of operations for the year then ended, the statements of changes in net assets for each of the years in the two-year period then ended, and the related notes (collectively, the financial statements) and the financial highlights for each of the years in the five-year period then ended. In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Funds as of June 30, 2020, the results of their operations for the year then ended, the changes in their net assets for each of the years in the two year period then ended, and the financial highlights for each of the years in the five-year period then ended, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

Basis for Opinion

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 are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (“PCAOB”) and are required to be independent with respect to the Funds in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and financial highlights are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements and financial highlights, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements and financial highlights. Such procedures also included confirmation of securities owned as of June 30, 2020, by correspondence with the custodians, transfer agents, and brokers or by other appropriate auditing procedures when replies from brokers were not received. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements and financial highlights. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

DISCLOSURE OF FUND EXPENSES

June 30, 2020

All mutual funds have operating expenses. As a shareholder of a mutual fund, your investment is affected by these ongoing costs, which include (among others) costs for portfolio management, administrative services, and shareholder reports like this one. It is important for you to understand the impact of these costs on your investment returns.

Operating expenses such as these are deducted from the mutual fund‘s gross income and directly reduce its final investment return. These expenses are expressed as a percentage of the mutual fund’s average net assets; this percentage is known as the mutual fund’s expense ratio.

The following examples use the expense ratio and are intended to help you understand the ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in your Fund and to compare these costs with those of other mutual funds. The examples are based on an investment of $1,000 made at the beginning of the period shown and held for the entire period (December 31, 2019 to June 30, 2020).

The table on this page illustrates your Fund’s costs in two ways:

Actual Fund Return: This section helps you to estimate the actual expenses after fee waivers that your Fund incurred over the period. The “Expenses Paid During Period” column shows the actual dollar expense cost incurred by a $1,000 investment in the Fund, and the “Ending Account Value” number is derived from deducting that expense cost from the Fund’s gross investment return.

You can use this information, together with the actual amount you invested in your Fund, to estimate the expenses you paid over that period. Simply divide your actual starting account value by $1,000 to arrive at a ratio (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply that ratio by the number shown for your Fund under “Expenses Paid During Period.”

Hypothetical 5% Return: This section helps you compare your Fund’s costs with those of other mutual funds. It assumes that your Fund had an annual 5% return before expenses during the year, but that the expense ratio (Column 3) is unchanged. This example is useful in making comparisons because the Securities and Exchange Commission requires all mutual funds to make this 5% calculation. You can assess your Fund’s comparative cost by comparing the hypothetical result for your Fund in the “Expenses Paid During Period” column with those that appear in the same charts in the shareholder reports for other mutual funds.

NOTE: Because the return is set at 5% for comparison purposes — NOT your Fund’s actual return — the account values shown do not apply to your specific investment.

New Covenant Funds / Annual Report / June 30, 2020


REVIEW OF LIQUIDITY RISK MANAGEMENT PROGRAM (Unaudited)

Pursuant to Rule 22e-4 under the 1940 Act, the Trust, on behalf of the Funds, has adopted a liquidity risk management program (the “Program”) to govern the Trust’s approach to managing liquidity risk. The Program is overseen by the SIMC Liquidity Risk Oversight Committee, and the Program’s principal objectives include assessing, managing and periodically reviewing each Fund’s liquidity risk, based on factors specific to the circumstances of the Fund.

At a meeting of the Board held on March 24, 2020, the Trustees received a report from the SIMC Liquidity Risk Oversight Committee addressing the operations of the Program and assessing its adequacy and effectiveness of implementation. The SIMC Liquidity Risk Oversight Committee determined, and reported to the Board, that the Program is reasonably designed to assess and manage each Fund’s liquidity risk and has operated adequately and effectively to manage each Fund’s liquidity risk since the Program was implemented on December 1, 2018. The SIMC Liquidity Risk Oversight Committee reported that during the period covered by the report, there were no liquidity events that impacted the Funds or their ability to timely meet redemptions without dilution to existing shareholders. The SIMC Liquidity Risk Oversight Committee further noted that no material changes have been made to the Program since its implementation.

There can be no assurance that the Program will achieve its objectives in the future. Please refer to the prospectus for more information regarding a Fund’s exposure to liquidity risk and other principal risks to which an investment in the Funds may be subject.

BOARD OF TRUSTEES CONSIDERATIONS IN APPROVING THE ADVISORY AND SUB-ADVISORY AGREEMENTS (UNAUDITED)

 

 

New Covenant Funds (the “Trust”) and SEI Investments Management Corporation (“SIMC”) have entered into an investment advisory agreement (the “Advisory Agreement”), pursuant to which SIMC provides investment advisory services to the series of the Trust (the “Funds”). Pursuant to separate sub-advisory agreements with SIMC (the “Sub-Advisory Agreements” and, together with the Advisory Agreement, the “Investment Advisory Agreements”), and under the supervision of SIMC and the Trust’s Board of Trustees (the “Board”), the sub-advisers (each, a “Sub-Adviser” and collectively, the “Sub-Advisers”) provide security selection and certain other advisory services with respect to all or a discrete portion of the assets of the Funds. The Sub-Advisers are also responsible for managing their employees who provide services to the Funds. The Sub-Advisers are selected based primarily upon the research and recommendations of SIMC, which evaluates quantitatively and qualitatively the Sub-Advisers’ skills and investment results in managing assets for specific asset classes, investment styles and strategies.

The Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), requires that the initial approval of a Fund’s Investment Advisory Agreements be specifically approved by the vote of a majority of the outstanding shareholders of the Funds and the vote of a majority of the Trustees who are not parties to the Investment Advisory Agreements or “interested persons” of any party (the “Independent Trustees”) cast in person at a meeting called for such purpose. In addition, the 1940 Act requires that the continuation or renewal of any Investment Advisory Agreement be approved at least annually (after an initial period of up to two years), which also requires the vote of a majority of the Board, including a majority of the Independent Trustees. In the case of the initial approval of a Sub-Advisory Agreement, only the approval of a majority of the Board, including a majority of the Independent Trustees, is required, pursuant to an exemptive order that has been granted to the Trust by the Securities and Exchange Commission. In connection with their consideration of such initial approvals and renewals, the Funds’ Trustees must request and evaluate, and SIMC and the Sub-Advisers are required to furnish, such information as may be reasonably necessary to evaluate the terms of the Investment Advisory Agreements. In addition, the Securities and Exchange Commission takes the position that, as part of their fiduciary duties with respect to a mutual fund’s fees, mutual fund boards are required to evaluate the material factors applicable to a decision to approve an investment advisory agreement.

Consistent with these responsibilities, the Board calls and holds meetings each year to consider whether to approve new and/or renew existing Investment Advisory Agreements between the Trust and SIMC and SIMC and the Sub-Advisers with respect to the Funds of the Trust. In preparation for these meetings, the Board requests and reviews a wide variety of materials provided by SIMC and the Sub-Advisers, including information about SIMC’s and the Sub-Advisers’ affiliates, personnel and operations and the services provided pursuant to the Investment Advisory Agreements. The Board also receives data from third parties. This information is provided in addition to the detailed information about the Funds that the Board reviews during the course of each year, including information that relates to Fund operations and Fund performance. The Trustees also receive a memorandum from counsel regarding the responsibilities of Trustees in connection with their consideration of whether to approve the Trust’s Investment Advisory Agreements. Finally, the Independent Trustees receive advice from independent counsel to the Independent Trustees, meet in executive sessions outside the presence of Fund management and participate in question and answer sessions with representatives of SIMC and the Sub-Advisers.

Specifically, during the course of the Trust’s fiscal year, the Board requested and received written materials from SIMC and the Sub-Advisers regarding: (i) the quality of SIMC’s and the Sub-Advisers’ investment management and other services; (ii) SIMC’s and the Sub-Advisers’ investment management personnel; (iii) SIMC’s and the Sub-Advisers’ operations and financial condition; (iv) SIMC’s and the Sub-Advisers’ brokerage practices (including any soft dollar arrangements) and investment strategies; (v) the level of the advisory fees that SIMC charges the Funds and the level of the sub-advisory fees that SIMC pays the Sub-Advisers, compared with fees each charge to comparable accounts; (vi) the advisory fees charged by SIMC and the Funds’ overall fees and operating expenses compared with peer groups of mutual funds prepared by Broadridge, an independent provider of investment company data; (vii) the level of SIMC’s and the Sub-Advisers’ profitability from their Fund-related operations; (viii) SIMC’s and the Sub-Advisers’ compliance program, including a description of material compliance matters and material compliance violations; (ix) SIMC’s potential economies of scale; (x) SIMC’s and the Sub-Advisers’ policies on and compliance procedures for personal securities transactions; (xi) SIMC’s and the Sub-Advisers’ expertise and resources in domestic and/or international financial markets; and (xii) the Funds’ performance over various periods of time compared with peer groups of mutual funds prepared by Broadridge and the Funds’ benchmark indexes.

At the March 23-25, 2020 meeting of the Board, the Trustees, including a majority of the Independent Trustees, approved the renewal of the Advisory Agreement. Also, each Sub-Advisory Agreement was either initially approved

New Covenant Funds / Annual Report / June 30, 2020


 

 

 

or, if the Sub-Advisory Agreement was already in effect (unless operating under an initial two-year term), renewed at meetings of the Board held during the course of the Trust’s fiscal year on September 10-11, 2019, December 3-4, 2019 and June 23-24, 2020. In each case, the Board’s approval (or renewal) was based on its consideration and evaluation of the factors described above, as discussed at the meetings and at prior meetings. The following discusses some, but not all, of the factors that were considered by the Board in connection with its assessment of the Investment Advisory Agreements.

Nature, Extent and Quality of Services. The Board considered the nature, extent and quality of the services provided by SIMC and the Sub-Advisers to the Funds and the resources of SIMC and the Sub-Advisers and their affiliates dedicated to the Funds. In this regard, the Trustees evaluated, among other things, SIMC’s and each Sub-Adviser’s personnel, experience, track record and compliance program. Following evaluation, the Board concluded that, within the context of its full deliberations, the nature, extent and quality of services provided by SIMC and the Sub-Advisers to the Funds and the resources of SIMC and the Sub-Advisers and their affiliates dedicated to the Funds were sufficient to support the renewal of the Investment Advisory Agreements. In addition to advisory services, the Board considered the nature and quality of certain administrative, transfer agency and other non-investment advisory services provided to the Funds by SIMC and/or its affiliates.

Performance. In determining whether to renew SIMC’s Advisory Agreement, the Trustees considered the Funds’ performance relative to their peer groups and appropriate indexes/benchmarks. The Trustees reviewed performance information for each Fund, noting that they receive performance reports that permit them to monitor each Fund’s performance at board meetings throughout the year. As part of this review, the Trustees considered the composition of each peer group and selection criteria. In assessing Fund performance, the Trustees considered a report compiled by Broadridge, an independent third-party that was engaged to prepare an assessment of the Funds in connection with the renewal of the Advisory Agreement (the “Broadridge Report”). The Broadridge Report included metrics on risk analysis, volatility versus total return, net total return and performance consistency for the Funds and a universe of comparable funds. Based on the materials considered and discussed at the meetings, the Trustees found Fund performance satisfactory, or, where performance was materially below the benchmark and/or peer group, the Trustees were satisfied with the reasons provided to explain such performance. In connection with the approval or renewal of Sub-Advisory Agreements, the Board considered the performance of the Sub-Adviser relative to appropriate indexes/benchmarks. Following evaluation, the Board concluded that, within the context of its full deliberations, the performance of the Funds was sufficient to support renewal of SIMC’s Advisory Agreement, and the performance of each Sub-Adviser was sufficient to support approval or renewal of the Sub-Advisory Agreement.

Fees. With respect to the Funds’ expenses under the Investment Advisory Agreements, the Trustees considered the rate of compensation called for by the Investment Advisory Agreements and the Funds’ net operating expense ratios in comparison to those of the Funds’ respective peer groups. In assessing Fund expenses, the Trustees considered the information in the Broadridge Report, which included various metrics related to fund expenses, including, but not limited to, contractual management fees at various asset levels, actual management fees (including transfer agent expenses), and actual total expenses (including underlying fund expenses) for the Funds and a universe of comparable funds. Based on the materials considered and discussion at the meetings, the Trustees further determined that fees were either shown to be below the peer average in the comparative fee analysis, or that there was a reasonable basis for the fee level. The Trustees also considered the effects of SIMC’s and its affiliates voluntary waivers of management and other fees to prevent total Fund operating expenses from exceeding any applicable cap and concluded that SIMC, through waivers, has maintained the Funds’ net operating expenses at competitive levels for its distribution channels. In determining the appropriateness of fees, the Board also took into consideration the impact of fees incurred indirectly by the Funds as a result of investments into underlying funds, including funds from which SIMC or its affiliates earn fees. The Board also took into consideration compensation earned from the Funds by SIMC or its affiliates for non-advisory services, such as administration, transfer agency, shareholder services or brokerage, and considered whether SIMC and its affiliates may have realized other benefits from their relationship with the Funds, such as any research and brokerage services received under soft dollar arrangements. When considering fees paid to Sub-Advisers, the Board took into account the fact that the Sub-Advisers are compensated by SIMC and not by the Funds directly, and that such compensation with respect to any unaffiliated Sub-Adviser reflects an arms-length negotiation between the Sub-Adviser and SIMC. Following evaluation, the Board concluded that, within the context of its full deliberations, the expenses of the Funds are reasonable and supported renewal of the Investment Advisory Agreements. The Board also considered whether the Sub-Advisers and their affiliates may have realized other benefits from their relationship with the Funds, such as any research and brokerage services received under soft dollar arrangements.

BOARD OF TRUSTEES CONSIDERATIONS IN APPROVING THE ADVISORY AND SUB-ADVISORY AGREEMENTS (UNAUDITED) (Concluded)

 

 

Profitability. With regard to profitability, the Trustees considered compensation flowing to SIMC and the Sub-Advisers and their affiliates, directly or indirectly. The Trustees considered whether the levels of compensation and profitability were reasonable. As with the fee levels, when considering the profitability of the Sub-Advisers, the Board took into account the fact that compensation with respect to any unaffiliated Sub-Adviser reflects an arms-length negotiation between the Sub-Adviser and SIMC. In connection with the approval or renewal of each Sub-Advisory Agreement, the Board also took into consideration the impact that the fees paid to the Sub-Adviser have on SIMC’s advisory fee margin and profitability. Based on this evaluation, the Board concluded that, within the context of its full deliberations, the profitability of each of SIMC and the Sub-Advisers is reasonable and supported renewal of the Investment Advisory Agreements.

Economies of Scale. With respect to the Advisory Agreement, the Trustees considered whether any economies of scale were being realized by SIMC and its affiliates and, if so, whether the benefits of such economies of scale were passed along to the Funds’ shareholders through a graduated investment advisory fee schedule or other means, including any fee waivers by SIMC and its affiliates. The Trustees recognized that economies of scale are difficult to identify and quantify and are rarely identifiable on a fund-by-fund basis. Based on this evaluation, the Board determined that the fees were reasonable in light of the information that was provided by SIMC with respect to economies of scale.

Based on the Trustees’ deliberation and their evaluation of the information described above, the Board, including all of the Independent Trustees, with the assistance of Fund counsel and Independent Trustees’ counsel, unanimously approved the approval or renewal, as applicable, of the Investment Advisory Agreements and concluded that the compensation under the Investment Advisory Agreements is fair and reasonable in light of such services and expenses and such other matters as the Trustees considered to be relevant in the exercise of their reasonable judgment. In the course of its deliberations, the Board did not identify any particular factor (or conclusion with respect thereto) or single piece of information that was all-important, controlling or determinative of its decision, but considered all of the factors together, and each Trustee may have attributed different weights to the various factors (and conclusions with respect thereto) and information.

Notes:

(1)

Audit fees include amounts related to the audit of the Registrant’s annual financial statements and services normally provided by the accountant in connection with statutory and regulatory filings.

(2)

See Item 4(g) for a description of the services comprising the fees disclosed under this category.

(e)(1) The Registrant’s Audit Committee has adopted and the Board of Trustees has ratified an Audit and Non-Audit Services Pre-Approval Policy (the “Policy”), which sets forth the procedures and the conditions pursuant to which services proposed to be performed by the independent auditor of the Registrant may be pre-approved. In any instance where services require pre-approval, the Audit Committee will consider


whether such services are consistent with SEC’s rules on auditor independence and whether the provision of such services would compromise the auditor’s independence.

The Policy provides that all requests or applications for proposed services to be provided by the independent auditor must be submitted to the Registrant’s Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”) and must include a detailed description of the services proposed to be rendered. The CFO will determine whether such services: (1) require specific pre-approval; (2) are included within the list of services that have received the general pre-approval of the Audit Committee pursuant to the Policy; or (3) have been previously pre-approved in connection with the independent auditor’s annual engagement letter for the applicable year or otherwise.

Requests or applications to provide services that require specific pre-approval by the Audit Committee will be submitted to the Audit Committee by the CFO. The Audit Committee has delegated specific pre-approval authority to either the Audit Committee Chair or financial experts, provided that the estimated fee for any such proposed pre-approved service does not exceed $100,000 and any pre-approval decisions are reported to the Audit Committee at its next regularly scheduled meeting.

Services that have received the general pre-approval of the Audit Committee are identified and described in the Policy. In addition, the Policy sets forth a maximum fee per engagement with respect to each identified service that has received general pre-approval. The Audit Committee will annually review and pre-approve the services that may be provided by the independent auditor during the following twelve months without obtaining specific pre-approval from the Audit Committee.

The Audit Committee will be informed by the CFO on a quarterly basis of all services rendered by the independent auditor.

All services to be provided by the independent auditor shall be provided pursuant to a signed written engagement letter with the Registrant, the investment advisor or applicable control affiliate (except that matters as to which an engagement letter would be impractical because of timing issues or because the matter is small may not be the subject of an engagement letter) that sets forth both the services to be provided by the independent auditor and the total fees (or the manner of their determination) to be paid to the independent auditor for those services.

In addition, the Audit Committee has determined to take additional measures on an annual basis to meet its responsibility to oversee the work of the independent auditor and to assure the auditor’s independence from the Registrant, such as reviewing a formal written statement from the independent auditor delineating all relationships between the independent auditor and the Registrant, and discussing with the independent auditor its methods and procedures for ensuring independence.

(e)(2) Percentage of fees billed applicable to non-audit services pursuant to waiver of pre-approval requirement were as follows:

 

      Fiscal
  Year 2020
  
   Fiscal
  Year  2019
  

Audit-Related Fees

   0%    0%

Tax Fees

   0%    0%

All Other Fees

   0%    0%

(f) Not Applicable.

(g)(1) The aggregate non-audit fees and services billed by KPMG for the fiscal years 2020 and 2019 were $417,252 and $273,762, respectively. Non-audit fees consist of a service organization controls report review of fund accounting and administration operations and an attestation report in accordance with Rule 17Ad-13.


(h) During the past fiscal year, the Registrant’s principal accountant provided certain non-audit services to the Registrant’s investment adviser or to entities controlling, controlled by, or under common control with the Registrant’s investment adviser that provide ongoing services to the Registrant that were not subject to pre-approval pursuant to paragraph (c)(7)(ii) of Rule 2-01 of Regulation S-X. The Audit Committee of the Registrant’s Board of Trustees reviewed and considered these non-audit services provided by the Registrant’s principal accountant to the Registrant’s affiliates, including whether the provision of these non-audit services is compatible with maintaining the principal accountant’s independence.
