NEW COVENANT FUNDS — JUNE 30, 2023 (Unaudited)

 

 

 

 

To Our Shareholders:

 

During the 12-month reporting period ending June 30, 2023, global financial markets gyrated in response to concerns about central bank monetary policy, the strength of the global economy, a crisis in the U.S. regional banking sector, and the politically charged U.S. debt-ceiling standoff.

 

The U.S. equity market experienced numerous periods of volatility as the Fed maintained its interest rate-hiking cycle for most of the reporting period in an effort to tame rising inflation. Headline inflation, as measured by the U.S. consumer-price index (“CPI”), decelerated during the one-year reporting period. The Fed raised the federal funds rate in seven increments totaling 2.25% between July and December 2022, then slowed the pace of increases to 0.25% in February, March and May 2023. The central bank then left its benchmark rate unchanged in a range of 5.00% to 5.25% in June.

 

In its announcement of the pause in its rate-hiking cycle following its meeting in mid-June, the Federal Open Market Committee (“FOMC”) commented, “Tighter credit conditions for households and businesses are likely to weigh on economic activity, hiring, and inflation. Holding the target range steady at this meeting allows the Committee to assess additional information and its implications for monetary policy.” During an appearance before the U.S. House of Representatives Committee on Financial Services the following week, Fed Chair Jerome Powell stated, “Nearly all [Federal Open Market Committee] participants expect that it will be appropriate to raise interest rates somewhat further by the end of the year. We will continue to make our decisions meeting by meeting, based on the totality of incoming data and their implications for the outlook for economic activity and inflation, as well as the balance of risks. We remain committed to bringing inflation back down to our 2 percent goal and to keeping longer-term inflation expectations well anchored.”

 

In early March 2023, the financial markets’ focus turned to the banking sector as two U.S.-based regional banks–Silicon Valley Bank (“SVB”) and Signature Bank–failed after depositors withdrew funds on fears regarding the valuation of the institutions’ bond portfolios. The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) was appointed as receiver to SVB after the California Department of Financial Protection and Innovation– which oversees the operations of state-licensed financial institutions, including banks and credit unions–closed the bank. Occurring on the heels of the collapse of Silvergate Capital a few days earlier, SVB’s failure prompted investors to reconsider the safety of their positions across the banking industry. SVB is a unique entity, with a client base highly concentrated among startup, venture capital-backed companies. The deposits of the bank increased tremendously over the past few years and poor liquidity management of these assets appears to have been a significant contributor to the collapse. Both Silvergate Capital and Signature Bank, which was shut down by New York state regulators in mid-March, were closely aligned with the highly speculative cryptocurrency industry. In early May, U.S. regulators took control of California-based First Republic Bank. The California Department of Financial Protection and Innovation issued a statement announcing that it had taken over the bank and appointed the FDIC as receiver. The FDIC subsequently announced that it had accepted J.P. Morgan Chase Bank’s bid to “assume all deposits, including all uninsured deposits, and substantially all assets of First Republic Bank.”

 

The administration of President Joe Biden and the Republican Party majority in the U.S. House of Representatives engaged in a heated debate about raising the U.S. government’s $31.4 trillion debt ceiling. The debt ceiling comprises the total amount of money that the U.S. government is authorized to borrow to meet its existing legal obligations, including Social Security and Medicare benefits, military salaries, interest on the national debt, tax refunds, and other payments. U.S. Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen had warned that the U.S. would no longer be able to meet its financial obligations as of early June. After numerous one-on-one discussions, Biden and Kevin McCarthy, who had been elected Speaker of the House of Representatives after the Republicans secured a majority in the lower house of Congress following the national election in November 2022, reached an agreement on the debt

ceiling during the last week of May. Both the U.S. House of Representatives and the Senate passed the legislation –the Fiscal Responsibility Act– by wide margins, with strong support from Republicans and Democrats. The bill suspends the debt ceiling through January 1, 2025; maintains non-military spending close to current levels for the 2024 fiscal year, which begins in October; and implements a 1% cap on increases in non-military spending for the 2025 fiscal year. The fast-track approval of the legislation enabled the government to avoid a potential default on its debt.

 

Geopolitical Events

 

The ongoing Russia-Ukraine war dominated the geopolitical news during the reporting period. Ukraine’s president, Volodymyr Zelenskyy, traveled to Washington, D.C., to address a joint session of the U.S. Congress in late December 2022, in an effort to secure additional financial aid from the U.S. and its allies. President Biden reiterated the U.S. government’s support for Ukraine in its conflict with Russia. In late December, the U.S. Congress approved $45 billion in additional financial assistance to Ukraine. In February 2023, nearly a year after the conflict began, President Biden made an unannounced trip to Ukraine to meet with President Volodymyr Zelenskyy and to encourage ongoing support from U.S. allies. The visit occurred as Russian President Vladimir Putin increased military activity in eastern Ukraine. President Biden’s trip was particularly risky as there was no protection from U.S. military personnel on the ground in Ukraine. In March, President Xi Jinping of China met with Russian President Vladimir Putin in Moscow to discuss China’s proposal to end the conflict with Ukraine. The Biden administration criticized the plan as “the ratification of Russian conquest” as it proposed a ceasefire that would recognize Russia’s right to occupy territory in Ukraine and provide Putin with time to bolster the nation’s military forces.

 

Late in the reporting period, the Wagner Group, a Russian paramilitary organization, began to retreat from the city of Bakhmut, Ukraine, in late May. The mercenaries were scheduled to complete their retreat by the beginning of June, and would be replaced by regular Russian troops. The Wagner Group had been fighting in Bakhmut since the summer of 2022. The withdrawal from the city occurred after the group’s leader, Yevgeny Prigozhin, claimed that Russian Defence Minister Sergei Shoigu and Valery Gerasimov, Chief of the General Staff, had intentionally withheld ammunition from Wagner Group fighters. In late June, the Wagner Group organized a short-lived mutiny against Russian President Vladimir Putin’s regime. The group occupied Rostov-On-Don in southern Russia, a significant command center for the Russian government’s invasion of Ukraine. The group’s leader, Yevgeny Prigozhin, subsequently agreed to be exiled to Belarus, and the mercenaries retreated from Rostov-On-Don.

 

Western nations responded to Russia’s invasion of Ukraine in late February with an array of sanctions, bans, and other coordinated actions—largely focused on disrupting the country’s financial, energy, technology and transportation activities, as well as state-owned enterprises and high-profile individuals in public and business positions. In addition to having mounted a fierce resistance to Russia’s invasion, Ukraine submitted a formal application for admission to the European Union (“EU”).

 

Liz Truss was elected U.K. Prime Minister in September 2022, but served just seven weeks before resigning. The disastrous reaction to her fiscal program sent gilt and sterling markets reeling, collapsing her support within the Conservative Party. Her departure cleared the way for Rishi Sunak to ascend as the Conservative Party leader and Prime Minister. Sunak’s administration was plagued by public-sector employee strikes and other job actions during the reporting period, as pay increases have not kept up with the U.K.’s inflation rate, which stood at 7.9% year-over-year in May. In the spring of 2023, however, the labor tensions appeared to be easing. The GMB union, which represent National Health Service (“NHS”) workers, announced that its members voted to accept the U.K. government’s offer to resolve a labor dispute following five months of contentious negotiations and strikes.

 

Economic Performance

 

U.S. inflation, as measured by the CPI, peaked at an annual rate of 9.1% in June 2022, the largest year-over-year increase since December 1981, and then showed signs of cooling in the second half of the reporting period. The Department of Labor reported that the U.S. CPI, rose 4.0% year-over-year in May–the smallest annual increase since March 2021–due mainly to the sharp decline in energy prices. However, the annual inflation rate remains well above the Fed’s 2% target. The slowdown in core inflation, as measured by the CPI for all items less food and energy, has not kept pace with that of the headline inflation (as measured by the CPI), rising 5.3% over the previous 12 months. According to the Department of Commerce, the personal-consumption-expenditures (“PCE”) price index rose 3.8% over the 12-month period ending in May 2023. Food prices increased 5.8% year-over-year, while energy prices fell 13.4% during the same period. The PCE price

index is the Fed’s preferred gauge of inflation, as it tracks the change in prices paid by or on behalf of consumers for a more comprehensive set of goods and services than that of the CPI.

 

The Department of Commerce also reported that U.S. gross domestic product (“GDP”) grew at a better-than-expected annualized rate of 2.0% in the first quarter of 2023, up significantly from the second estimate of 1.3%, but down from the 2.6% rise in the fourth quarter of 2022. The largest increases for the first quarter of the year were in consumer spending, exports, and federal government spending. These gains offset reductions in private inventory investment (a measure of the changes in values of inventories from one time period to the next) and residential fixed investment (purchases of private residential structures and residential equipment that property owners use for rentals). The government attributed the increase in the GDP growth rate relative to the previous estimate to upward revisions to exports, consumer spending, state and local government spending, and residential fixed investment. These offset downward revisions to nonresidential fixed investment (purchases of both nonresidential structures and equipment and software) and federal government spending.

 

According to the Office for National Statistics, consumer prices in the U.K. rose 7.9% year-over-year in May, marginally higher than the 7.8% annual increase in April, but down from its peak of 9.6% in October 2022. Food and non-alcoholic beverages, as well as restaurants and hotels, were the most notable contributors to the annual increase in prices. Core inflation, which excludes volatile food and energy prices, rose at an annual rate of 6.5% in May, an upturn from the 6.2% year-over-year increase for the previous month. Eurostat estimated that the inflation rate in the eurozone fell 0.6% to 5.5% for the 12-month period ending in June, and that energy prices decreased 5.6% year-over-year, following a 1.8% decline in May. While prices for food, alcohol and tobacco, as well as industrial goods, led the upturn in the annual inflation rate in June, the pace of acceleration slowed. Core inflation, which excludes energy and food, rose to 5.4% for the month, up from 5.3% in May.

 

Market Developments

 

Global equity markets garnered positive returns despite numerous periods of volatility over the reporting period. Developed markets posted double-digit gains and significantly outperformed their emerging-market counterparts. The eurozone was the top-performing region among the developed markets for the reporting period due mainly to strength in Italy and Denmark. The Pacific ex-Japan market recorded a relatively modest positive return and was the most notable laggard among developed markets, hampered by significant weakness in Hong Kong, which posted a negative return for the period. The strongest performers among emerging markets included Europe (particularly Greece and Turkey) and Latin America (most notably Mexico and Brazil), which achieved double-digit gains for the reporting period. Conversely, China and Hong Kong experienced substantial downturns and were the weakest performers among emerging markets.

 

Global fixed-income assets saw modest losses over the reporting period, with the Bloomberg Global Aggregate Bond Index returning -1.3% in U.S. Dollar terms. Global high-yield and corporate bonds, however, posted gains and outperformed government securities. The U.S. Treasury yield curve became inverted in early July 2022, when yields on shorter-term bonds exceeded those on longer-dated securities (bond prices move inversely to interest rates). Yields on 1-month U.S. Treasury bills (“T-bills”) with maturities close to the U.S. government’s “X-date” for the default on its financial obligations in early June 2023, surged 2.11% over a 30-day period between late April and late May 2023, to 6.02% – the highest level since the introduction of the 1-month T-bill in July 2001–before tumbling to 5.28% over the last two days of the month following the announcement of an agreement on raising the debt ceiling. Investors had demanded higher yields as compensation for the additional risk that the U.S. government could default on its debt. The yield on the 10-year U.S. Treasury note ended the one-year reporting period up 0.83% to 3.81%, while the 2-year yield rose 1.95% to 4.87%. The spread between 10- and 2-year notes widened from +0.06% to -1.06%. The significant upturn in shorter-term bond yields reflected expectations for continued interest-rate hikes by the Fed; longer-term bonds showed signs of concerns regarding how monetary tightening might have a negative effect on economic growth. U.S. high-yield bonds ended the period with notable gains, outperforming Treasurys, corporate bonds, and mortgage-backed securities (“MBS”).

 

Global commodity prices, as measured by the Bloomberg Commodity Total Return Index, fell -9.6% in U.S. Dollar terms during the reporting period. However, gold prices rallied and ended the period in positive territory as the U.S. Dollar weakened (gold prices move inversely to the U.S. Dollar) and the Fed began to slow the pace of its interest-rate hikes. Prices for West Texas Intermediate crude oil and Brent crude oil declined sharply during the period amid concerns that additional interest-rate hikes from central banks will weigh on global economic growth and reduce demand. Wheat prices tumbled after Russia renewed a deal with the UN, Ukraine, and Turkey that allows the shipment of Ukrainian grain through the Black Sea. Additionally, Egypt made a large purchase tender for Russian wheat at a relatively low price.

Our view

 

Economists have been spending much of their time this year arguing when or if economic growth, inflation, corporate profits, interest rates, and equities will peak. Optimists and pessimists alike have been confounded by the ebb and flow of the data and the gyrations of the financial markets.

 

In general, input-price inflation has decelerated dramatically. Canada’s industrial producer price index has registered an outright decline in its price level, with a year-over-year change of -6.3% through May. The eurozone’s producer-price index (“PPI”) has witnessed the sharpest deceleration, falling from a peak annual rate of 43% through August 2022 to an April 2023 reading of just 1.0%. By contrast, the improvement in producer prices has been less dramatic in Japan (still rising at a 5.1% year-over-year pace as of May), although the country has logged a steep deceleration from earlier this year. We believe that these annual inflation PPI readings should continue to show improvement in the months immediately ahead owing to favorable base effects.

 

Core inflation, which excludes food and energy prices. Inflation is still accelerating in both the U.K. (reaching 7.1% in May) and in Japan (+2.7%). Improvement in the U.S. and the euro area has been modest, with annual core inflation running at 5.3% and 6.1%, respectively, in May. Only Canada has recorded significant progress in its core inflation rate, declining from a 12-month rate of 6.0% in June 2022 to 3.6% as of May 2023.

 

On a longer-term basis, we believe that demographic shifts are likely to keep labor markets tighter than has been the case at any point since the baby boomers–who were born between 1946 and 1964–first made their presence felt in the workforce in the 1970s. The new focus on supply-chain resiliency, reduced dependence on China as a manufacturing hub, the transition away from relatively cheap fossil-fuel energy to greener but more expensive sources of power, and the likelihood of significantly higher corporate taxes and financing costs in the years ahead, all suggest to us that inflation will tend to settle at 3% or more in advanced industrial economies instead of the previous norm of 2% or less.

 

Persistent inflation and ongoing labor-market tightness have forced most major developed-country central banks to keep raising their benchmark interest rates. The Fed, the Bank of Canada, and the European Central Bank already have benchmark rates that match or exceed the peak recorded in 2008. We think it’s likely that the Bank of England will soon join this group.

 

Although the FOMC chose to keep the funds rate unchanged at its June 2023 meeting, the central bank left open the possibility of more rate hikes. It wasn’t too long ago that markets were pricing in a June 2023 peak in the federal-funds rate, followed by at least three rate cuts before the end of 2023. Those cuts have now been taken out of the equation. As of the end of June, the CME Group’s FedWatch Tool had pushed the first rate cut out to January 2024, with a year-end 2024 implied rate at roughly 4%.

 

SEI does not dispute the fact that inflation will continue to decelerate, especially given the current weakness in energy and goods prices. It is only a question of timing and end point. We maintain our view that inflation pressures will remain persistent in labor-intensive service industries, at least until some slack opens up in the labor markets and spending by households fades more dramatically.

The rally in U.S. equities broadened at the end of the reporting period in June, but we think the valuation in the market again is a problem. The upturn occurred despite additional monetary tightening by the Fed and other central banks and a rebound in bond yields from the dip that took place following the panic in the U.S. banking system in mid-March. The overall market also appears to be overvalued relative to current bond yields. If corporate earnings experience a substantial contraction, history suggests that stock valuations also will fall.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FUND PERFORMANCE

June 30, 2023 (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 produced 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, 2023, was Parametric Portfolio Associates LLC (“Parametric”). There were no sub-adviser changes during the reporting period.

 

III. Return vs. Benchmark

 

For the 12-month period ending June 30, 2023, the Fund’s Class A shares returned 18.83%. The Fund’s primary benchmark, the Russell 3000® Index – which measures the performance of the 3000 largest U.S. companies and represents approximately 98% of the investable U.S. equity market–returned 18.95%.

 

IV. Fund Attribution

 

Information technology sector was the strongest-performing sector within the Russell 3000® Index for the reporting period as growth stocks outperformed. The only two sectors to produce negative returns were real estate and utilities, which are sometimes thought of as bond substitutes. This explains some of their correlation with the poorly performing bond market during the period. Other traditionally less cyclical areas of the market, such as consumer staples and health care, also underperformed.

 

In this environment, the Fund marginally underperformed its benchmark for the reporting period. The Fund’s holdings in the consumer staples sector and in the retail segment of the consumer discretionary sector detracted from performance. Fund performance benefited from a modestly overweight allocation to the information technology sector, an underweight to the aerospace and defense industry, as wells as a modest underweight to the real estate sector.

 

Investing is subject to risk, including the possible loss of principal. Past performance is no indication of future results.

June 30, 2023 (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”).

There were no sub-adviser changes during the fiscal period.

 

III. Return vs. Benchmark

 

For the 12-month period ending June 30, 2023, the Fund’s Class A shares returned -0.78%. The Fund’s primary benchmark, the Bloomberg Intermediate US Aggregate Bond Index–a capitalization-weighted index that measures the performance of investment-grade bonds in the U.S. with maturities of less than 10 years–returned -0.60%.

 

IV. Fund Attribution

 

In a determined effort to tame historically high inflation, the U.S. Federal Reserve (“Fed”) raised its benchmark federal-funds rate by a total of 350 basis points (3.50%) to a range of 5.00% - 5.25% during the 12-month reporting period. The Fed hiked the rate by 25 basis points in February, March, and May, and then held rates steady for the first time since January 2022 at its meeting in June 2023. U.S. economic growth slowed in the first quarter of 2023, as the lagged effects of monetary policy continued to work their way through the financial system. Meanwhile, inflation moderated, but remained stubbornly elevated relative to its historical average and to central bank target levels. At the end of the reporting period, the core inflation rate (which excludes volatile food and energy prices) of 5.3% was more than twice the Fed’s 2% target. Markets have priced Fed rate cuts later into 2024 and began pricing-in additional rate hikes after the Fed’s June dot plot signaled the median federal funds rate increasing by an additional 50 basis points. Yields ratcheted higher across the U.S. Treasury curve, with short-term yields moving higher at a quicker pace than long-term yields, pushing the yield curve inversion closer to a record level. The yield curve, a predictor of past economic downturns, has been inverted for nearly a year, which is in the time frame typically associated with the onset of a recession. Following the collapse of Silicon

The combination of tight labor markets, sticky core inflation, and tightening credit conditions during the reporting period challenged the Fed, and the runway for a soft landing for the economy continues to narrow.

 

The two-year Treasury note yield rose by 195 basis points over the 12 month reporting period, while the 10- and 30-year yields increased by 83 and 71 basis points, respectively. The rise in yields led to negative absolute returns for U.S. Treasury securities. Risk assets generally outperformed duration-neutral Treasurys during the period. Corporate bonds generated both positive absolute and excess returns during the period, with spreads tightening year-over-year. The Fed continued to grapple with inflation, while fears about a hard economic landing endured. Uncertainty surrounding the U.S. government’s debt ceiling contributed to volatility during the spring of 2023, but a resolution was reached and the debt ceiling was suspended until January 2025. From a credit-quality perspective, BBB rated issues outperformed higher quality bonds. Agency mortgage-backed securities (“MBS”) underperformed Treasurys during the reporting period; however, valuations became more attractive. Agency MBS are considered to be a liquid, high-quality substitute for Treasurys with a higher yield. Asset-backed securities (“ABS”) outperformed the overall market during the period, bolstered by strong fundamentals within consumer-related subsectors as the U.S. labor market remains healthy. Consumers were resilient, even in the face of elevated inflation, with rising wages supporting a robust level of consumer spending reflected in strong consumption and spending on services. With the COVID-19 pandemic fading as a health threat, consumers have been making up for lost time, adopting a more mobile lifestyle, thereby pressuring on labor-intensive, consumer-facing industries such as restaurants, airlines, hotels and entertainment/sporting events. Commercial mortgage-backed securities (“CMBS”) underperformed duration-neutral Treasurys as office buildings continue to be hampered by lower occupancy as many employees continue to work remotely.

 

The Fund modestly underperformed its benchmark, the Bloomberg Intermediate Aggregate Bond Index, during the reporting period. An overweight allocation to CMBS detracted from Fund performance for the period. Office space, in particular, remains under stress as companies continue to utilize remote work and the need for office space has declined since March 2020. The Fund’s long duration posture also weighed on performance as yields

continued to move higher given tightening monetary policy. Both the Fund’s overweight and positioning within corporate credit benefited Fund performance for the reporting period. Relative sector positioning within the corporate sector such as the overweight to industrials contributed positively to Fund performance, and security selection within the banking sector enhanced performance as the Fund’s managers preferred large money center banks. Security selection within agency MBS bolstered Fund performance as the managers preferred specified pools to TBA (to-be-announced) securities—which confer the obligation to buy or sell future debt obligations of the three U.S. government-sponsored agencies (Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac and Ginnie Mae) that issue or guarantee MBS. This was partially offset by the Fund’s overweight to the sector as agency MBS underperformed during the period. An overweight to ABS had a positive impact on Fund performance. The sector continues to be supported by strong consumer spending as unemployment remains at historically low levels.

 

Among the Fund’s sub-advisers, IRM outperformed during the reporting period. Both security selection and an overweight position in the financials sector enhanced performance, while security selection in industrials had a negative impact. Positioning within ABS aided Fund performance, while an overweight allocation to CMBS was a detractor. Security selection in CMBS benefited Fund performance as IRM favored up-in-the-capital structure tranches. Western Asset Management Company and Western Asset Management Company Limited outperformed in part due to an overweight to corporate credit. Security selection within agency MBS also was a positive contributor to performance. Western moved the Fund to an overweight position in the MBS sector as valuations became more compelling during the first half of 2023. Western’s long duration posture detracted from Fund performance as yields continued to rise during the reporting period.

 

Regarding the use of derivatives, the Fund employed U.S. Treasury futures, eurodollar futures, and 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. None of these derivative positions had a meaningful impact on the Fund’s performance during the reporting period.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FUND PERFORMANCE

June 30, 2023 (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 12-month period ending June 30, 2023, the Fund’s Class A shares returned 10.83%. The Fund’s primary benchmark, the Russell 3000® Index – which measures the performance of the 3000 largest U.S. companies and represents approximately 98% of the investable U.S. equity market – returned 18.95%.

 

IV. Fund Attribution

 

U.S. equities rebounded during the 12-month reporting period as investors became somewhat less concerned about inflation, rising interest rates, and the Russia-Ukraine war. Supply-chain issues were believed to be largely resolved. The reduction in these concerns brought a “relief rally” in which the relatively more expensive stocks generally rose more than the lower-priced stocks, and larger-capitalization stocks outgained smaller-capitalization stocks.

 

Information technology was the strongest-performing sector within the Russell 3000® Index for the reporting period as growth stocks outperformed. The only two sectors to produce negative returns were real estate and utilities, which are sometimes thought of as bond substitutes. This explains some of their correlation with the poorly performing bond market during the period. Other traditionally less cyclical areas of the market, such as consumer staples and health care, also underperformed.

 

In this environment, the Growth Fund marginally underperformed its benchmark, the Russell 3000® Index, for the reporting period. The Fund’s holdings in the consumer staples sector and in the retail segment of the consumer discretionary sector detracted from performance. Fund performance benefited from a modestly overweight allocation to the information technology sector, an underweight to the aerospace and defense industry, as wells as a modest underweight to the real estate sector.

 

In a determined effort to tame historically high inflation, the U.S. Federal Reserve (“Fed”) raised its benchmark federal-funds rate by a total of 350 basis points (3.50%) to a range of 5.00% - 5.25% during the 12-month reporting period. The Fed hiked the rate by 25 basis points in February, March, and May, and then held rates steady for the first time since January 2022 at its meeting in June 2023. U.S. economic growth slowed in the first quarter of 2023, as the lagged effects of monetary policy continued to work their way through the financial system. Meanwhile, inflation moderated, but remained stubbornly elevated relative to its historical average and to central bank target levels. At the end of the reporting period, the core inflation rate (which excludes volatile food and energy prices) of 5.3% was more than twice the Fed’s 2% target. Markets have priced Fed rate cuts later into 2024 and began pricing-in additional rate hikes after the Fed’s June dot plot signaled the median federal funds rate increasing by an additional 50 basis points. Yields ratcheted higher across the U.S. Treasury curve, with short-term yields moving higher at a quicker pace than long-term yields, pushing the yield curve inversion closer to a record level. The yield curve, a predictor of past economic downturns, has been inverted for nearly a year, which is in the time frame typically associated with the onset of a recession. Following the collapse of Silicon Valley Bank, a U.S. regional bank, in March 2023, credit conditions tightened further, providing a degree of offset for central bank monetary policy tightening that would have otherwise been required. The combination of tight labor markets, sticky core inflation, and tightening credit conditions during the reporting period challenged the Fed, and the runway for a soft landing for the economy continues to narrow.

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 Balanced Income 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.

For the 12-month period ending June 30, 2023, the Fund’s Class A shares returned 5.84%. The Fund’s primary benchmark, the Bloomberg Intermediate U.S. Aggregate Bond Index – which tracks the performance of U.S. securities in the Treasury, government-related, corporate and securitized sectors with a remaining maturity of less than 10 years – returned -0.60%.

 

IV. Fund Attribution

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

June 30, 2023

 

 

 

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 (“SIMC” or 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 — Effective September 8, 2022, and pursuant to the requirements of the 1940 Act and Rule 2a-5, the administrator, as delegated by the Board of Trustees (the “Board”), has the responsibility for the valuation of Fund investments with readily available market quotations in accordance with the Funds' Valuation and Pricing Policy. The Trust's Board of Trustees has designated SEI Investments Management Corporation (“SIMC”) as the Valuation Designee for the Funds pursuant to Rule 2a-5 (the “Rule”) under the 1940 Act. The Valuation Designee has the responsibility for the fair value determination with respect to all Fund investments that do not have readily available market quotations or quotations that are no longer reliable. SIMC, in furtherance of the Board’s designation, has appointed a valuation committee of SIMC persons to function as the Valuation Designee (the “Committee”) and has established a Valuation and Pricing Policy to implement the Rule and the Fund’s' Valuation and Pricing Policy (together with SIMC’s Valuation and Pricing Policy, the “Fair Value Procedures”). Prior to September 8, 2022, fair-value determinations were performed in accordance with the Trust's Fair Value Procedures established by the Funds' Board of Trustees and were implemented through a Fair Value Committee designated by the Board.

 

When valuing portfolio securities, a Fund values securities listed on a securities exchange, market or automated quotation system for which quotations are readily available (other than securities traded on National Association of Securities Dealers Automated Quotations (NASDAQ) or as otherwise noted below) at the last quoted sale price on an exchange or market (foreign or domestic) on which the securities are traded, or, if there is no such reported sale, at the most recent quoted bid price. A Fund values securities traded on NASDAQ at the NASDAQ Official Closing Price. If available, debt securities, swaps (which are not centrally cleared), bank loans or debt tranches of collateralized debt obligations (including collateralized loan obligations), such as those held by the Funds, are priced based upon valuations provided by independent, third-party pricing agents. 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. The assets of the Balanced Growth Fund and the Balanced Income Fund (the “Balanced Funds”) consist primarily

New Covenant Funds

 

 

 

 

of investments in underlying affiliated investment companies. Redeemable securities issued by open-end investment companies are valued at the investment company’s applicable NAV per share. The prices of foreign securities are reported in local currency and converted to U.S. dollars using currency exchange rates. If a security’s price cannot be obtained, as noted above or in the case of an equity tranche of a CDO/CLO, a Fund will value the securities using a bid price from at least one independent broker.

 

On the first day a new debt security purchase is recorded, if a price is not available from a third-party pricing agent or an independent broker, the security may be valued at its purchase price. Each day thereafter, the debt security will be valued according to the Procedures until an independent source can be secured. Debt securities held by a Fund with remaining maturities of 60 days or less will be valued by the amortized cost method, which involves valuing a security at its cost on the date of purchase and thereafter (absent unusual circumstances) assuming a constant amortization to maturity of any discount or premium, regardless of the impact of fluctuations in general market rates of interest on the value of the instrument. While this method provides certainty in valuation, it may result in periods during which value, as determined by this method, is higher or lower than the price a Fund would receive if it sold the instrument, and the value of securities in the Fund can be expected to vary inversely with changes in prevailing interest rates. Should existing credit, liquidity or interest rate conditions in the relevant markets and issuer-specific circumstances suggest that amortized cost does not approximate fair value, then the amortized cost method may not be used.

 

Options are valued at the last quoted sales price. If there is no such reported sale on the valuation date, long positions are valued at the most recent bid price, and short positions are valued at the most recent ask price. Futures and swaps cleared through a central clearing house (centrally cleared swaps) 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 and centrally cleared swaps are provided by an independent source. On days when there is excessive volume, market volatility or the future or centrally cleared swap does not end trading by the time a fund calculates its NAV, the settlement price may not be available at the time at which a 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 or centrally cleared swaps position. Foreign currency forward contracts are valued at the current day's interpolated foreign exchange rate, as calculated using forward rates provided by an independent source.

 

Prices for most securities held by a Fund are provided daily by third-party independent pricing agents. SIMC or a Sub-Adviser, as applicable, reasonably believes that prices provided by independent pricing agents are reliable. However, there can be no assurance that such pricing service's prices will be reliable. SIMC or a Sub-Adviser, as applicable, will continuously monitor the reliability of prices obtained from any pricing service and shall promptly notify the Funds' administrator if it believes that a particular pricing service is no longer a reliable source of prices. The Funds' administrator, in turn, will notify the Committee if it receives such notification from a Sub-Adviser, as applicable, or if the Funds' administrator reasonably believes that a particular pricing service is no longer a reliable source for prices.

 

The Procedures provide that any change in a primary pricing agent or a pricing methodology requires prior approval by the Board. However, when the change would not materially affect the valuation of a Fund’s net assets or involve a material departure in pricing methodology from that of the Fund’s existing pricing agent or pricing methodology, ratification may be obtained at the next regularly scheduled meeting of the Board. Securities for which market prices are not "readily available" are valued in accordance with Rule 2a-5 and the Procedures. The Committee must monitor for circumstances that may necessitate that a security be valued using Fair Value Procedures which can include: (i) the security's trading has been halted or suspended, (ii) the security has been de-listed from a national exchange, (iii) the security's primary trading market is temporarily closed at a time when under normal conditions it would be open, (iv) the security has not been traded for an extended period of time, (v) the security's primary pricing source is not able or willing to provide a price, (vi) trading of the security is subject to local government-imposed restrictions; or (vii) a significant event (as defined below). 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. Examples of factors the Committee may consider include: (i) the type of security or asset, (ii) the last trade price, (iii) evaluation of the forces that influence the market in which the security is purchased and sold, (iv) the liquidity of the security, (v) the size of the holding in a Fund or (vi) any other appropriate information.

 

The Committee is responsible for selecting and applying, in a consistent manner, the appropriate methodologies for determining and calculating the fair value of holdings of the Funds, including specifying the key inputs and assumptions specific to each asset class or holding. The determination of a security’s fair value price often involves the consideration of a number of subjective factors and is therefore subject to the unavoidable risk that the value assigned to a security may be higher or lower than the security’s value would be if a reliable market quotation for the security was readily available.

The Growth Fund uses a third-party fair valuation vendor. The vendor provides a fair value for foreign securities held by the 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 in its portfolio that exceed the applicable “confidence interval” based upon the adjusted prices provided by the fair valuation vendor.

 

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 NAV. The closing prices of such securities may no longer reflect their market value at the time a Fund calculates NAV if an event that could materially affect the value of those securities (a Significant Event), including substantial fluctuations in domestic or foreign markets or occurrences not tied directly to the securities markets, such as natural disasters, armed conflicts or significant governmental actions, has occurred between the time of the security’s last close and the time that the Fund calculates NAV. A Fund may invest in securities that are primarily listed on foreign exchanges that trade on weekends or other days when the Fund does not price its shares. As a result, the NAV of the Fund’s shares may change on days when shareholders will not be able to purchase or redeem Fund shares. A Significant Event may relate to a single issuer or to an entire market sector. If SIMC or a Sub-Adviser 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 calculate NAV, it may request that a Committee meeting be called. In addition, with respect to certain securities, the Funds’ administrator performs price comparisons and price movement review (among other processes), to monitor the pricing data supplied by various sources. Any identified discrepancies are researched and subject to the procedures described above.

 

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.)

 

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, 2023 maximized the use of observable inputs and minimized the use of unobservable inputs.

 

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.

 

 

66

 

New Covenant Funds

 

 

 

 

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, 2023, 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.

 

Swap Agreements — To the extent consistent with its investment objective and strategies, a Fund may invest in swap contracts as an efficient means to take and manage risk in the portfolio, including interest rate risk, credit risk and overall yield sensitivity. A swap agreement is a two-party contract under which an agreement is made to exchange returns from predetermined investments or instruments, including a particular interest rate, foreign currency, or “basket” of securities representing a particular index. Swap agreements are privately negotiated in the over-the- counter market (“OTC swaps”) or may be executed in a multilateral or other trade facility platform, such as a registered commodities exchange (“Centrally Cleared swaps”). Interest rate swaps involve the exchange by a Fund with another party of their respective commitments to pay or receive interest (e.g., an exchange of floating rate payments for fixed rate payments) with respect to a notional amount of principal. Credit default swaps involve the periodic payment by a Fund or counterparty of interest based on a specified rate multiplied by a notional amount assigned to an underlying debt instrument or group of debt instruments in exchange for the assumption of credit risk on the same instruments. In the event of a credit event, usually in the form of a credit rating downgrade, the party receiving periodic payments (i.e. floating rate payer) must pay the other party (i.e. fixed rate payer) an amount equal to the outstanding principal of the downgraded debt instrument. Total return swaps allow an investor to benefit from the cash flow without ever actually owning the underlying security. The receiver must pay any decline in value to the payer at the end of the total return swap. However, the investor does not need to make a payment if there is no decline in price. Payments can be made on various indices, bonds (i.e. mortgage backed securities, bank debt and corporate), loans or commodities. The value of a total return swap is equal to the change in value of the underlying asset versus the accrued income payment based on LIBOR (London Interbank Offered Rate) or some other form of index on the notional amount. Interest rate swaps involve the exchange by a Fund with another party of their respective commitments to pay or receive interest (e.g., an exchange of floating rate payments for fixed rate payments) with respect to a notional amount of principal to manage a Fund’s exposure to interest rates. Payments received or made are recorded as realized gains or losses. A Fund could be exposed to credit or market risk due to unfavorable changes in the fluctuation of interest rates or if the counterparty defaults on its obligation to perform. Risk of loss may exceed amounts recognized on the statement of assets and liabilities. In connection with swap agreements, securities/cash may be set aside as collateral by the Fund’s custodian. A Fund may enter into swap agreements in order to, among other things, change the maturity or duration of the investment portfolio; protect a Fund’s value from changes in interest rates; or expose a Fund to a different security or market.

 

Swaps are marked-to-market daily based upon quotations from market makers and the resulting changes in market values, if any, are recorded as unrealized gains or losses in the Statement of Operations. Centrally cleared swaps are valued at the settlement price established each day by the board of exchange on which they are traded. The daily settlement prices for centrally cleared swaps are provided by an independent source. Net payments of interest are recorded as realized gains or losses. Daily changes in valuation of Centrally Cleared swaps, if any, are recorded as a receivable or payable for the change in value as appropriate (“variation margin”) on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities.

 

Entering into swap agreements involves, to varying degrees, elements of credit and market risk in excess of the amounts recognized on the Schedule of Investments or the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Such risks involve the possibility that there will be no liquid market for these agreements, that the counterparty to the agreement may default on its obligation to perform and that there may be unfavorable changes in the fluctuation of interest rates. Risks also arise from potential losses from adverse market movements. Counterparty risk may be mitigated by having a master netting arrangement between a Fund and the counterparty and by having the counterparty post collateral to cover a Fund’s exposure to the counterparty.

 

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, forwards 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 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.

 

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 %

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 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 voluntary expense limitation is 0.80% for the Income Fund. Effective May 13, 2019, the voluntary expense limitation is 0.72% for the Growth Fund.

 

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.

 

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.

 

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.

 

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, 2023, 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.

 

Cash with a total market value of $166 and $615 ($ Thousands) for the Growth Fund and Income Fund, respectively, has been pledged as collateral for exchange-traded derivative instruments as of June 30, 2023.

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, reclassifications of distributions, sales of passive foreign investment companies, and gains and losses on paydowns of mortgage and asset-backed securities for tax purposes. There are no permanent differences that are credited or charged to Paid-in Capital and Distributable Earnings as of June 30, 2023.

 

The tax character of dividends and distributions paid during the last two years ended June 30 were as follows:

For Federal income tax purposes, the cost of securities owned at June 30, 2023, 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.

 

For Federal income tax purposes, capital loss carryforwards may be carried forward and applied against future capital gains. Under the Regulated Investment Company Modernization Act of 2010, Funds are permitted to carry forward capital losses for an unlimited period. Losses carried forward are as follows:

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, 2023, 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 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 a Balance Funds 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

 

 

74

 

New Covenant Funds

 

 

 

 

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.

 

Derivatives Risk — The Funds’ use of futures, options and swaps is subject to market risk, leverage risk, correlation risk and liquidity risk. Market risk and liquidity risk are described below. Leverage risk is the risk that the Fund's total investment exposure substantially exceeds the value of its portfolio securities. Correlation risk is the risk that changes in the value of the derivative may not correlate perfectly with the underlying asset, rate or index. Liquidity risk is 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 lower the price of the security, sell other securities instead or forego an investment opportunity, any of which could have a negative effect on Fund management or performance. Each of these risks could cause the Fund to lose more than the principal amount invested in a derivative instrument. The Fund's use of derivatives may also increase the amount of taxes payable by shareholders. Both U.S. and non-U.S. regulators have adopted and implemented regulations governing derivatives markets, the ultimate impact of which remains unclear.

 

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. Markets may decline significantly in response to adverse issuer, political, regulatory, market, economic or other developments that may cause broad changes in market value, public perceptions concerning these developments, and adverse investor sentiment or publicity. Similarly, environmental and public health risks, such as natural disasters, epidemics, pandemics or widespread fear that such events may occur, may impact markets adversely and cause market volatility in both the short- and long-term.

 

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. Markets for fixed income securities may decline significantly in response to adverse issuer, political, regulatory, market, economic or other developments that may cause broad changes in market value, public perceptions concerning these developments, and adverse investor sentiment or publicity. Similarly, environmental

and public health risks, such as natural disasters, epidemics, pandemics or widespread fear that such events may occur, may impact markets adversely and cause market volatility in both the short- and long-term.

 

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, tax, accounting and audit 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. Investments in emerging markets are subject to the added risk that information in emerging market investments may be unreliable or outdated due to differences in regulatory, accounting or auditing and financial record keeping standards, or because less information about emerging market investments is publicly available. In addition, the rights and remedies associated with emerging market investments may be different than investments in developed markets. A lack of reliable information, rights and remedies increase the risks of investing in emerging markets in comparison to more developed markets. In addition, periodic U.S. Government restrictions on investments in issuers from certain foreign countries may require the Fund to sell such investments at inopportune times, which could result in losses to the Fund.

 

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 change in interest rates will cause a fall in the value of fixed income securities, including U.S. Government securities, in which the Fund invests. Generally, the value of the Fund’s fixed income securities will vary inversely with the direction of prevailing interest rates. Changing interest rates may have unpredictable effects on the markets and may affect the value and liquidity of instruments held by the Fund. Although U.S. Government securities are considered to be among the safest investments, they are not guaranteed against price movement movements due to changing interest rates.

 

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

 

 

76

 

New Covenant Funds

 

 

 

 

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 taxes subject to ordinary income tax rates as opposed to more favorable capital gains rates, 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 (OTC). OTC stocks may trade less frequently and in smaller volume than exchange listed stocks and may have more price volatility than that of exchange-listed stocks.

 

Social-Witness Principles/Socially Responsible Investing Risk — The Fund considers social-witness principles and Sub-Advisers’ ESG criteria 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 still subject to the credit risk of the U.S. Government and 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. No assurance can be given that the U.S. Government will provide financial support to its agencies and instrumentalities if it is not obligated by law to do so.

 

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 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.

9. REGULATORY MATTERS

 

The U.K. Financial Conduct Authority stopped compelling or inducing banks to submit certain London Inter-Bank Offered Rate (LIBOR) rates. The publication of LIBOR on a representative basis ceased for the one-week and two-month U.S. dollar LIBOR settings immediately after December 31, 2021, and ceased for the remaining U.S. dollar LIBOR settings immediately after June 30, 2023. Investments impacted by the discontinuation of LIBOR may include bank loans, derivatives, floating rate securities, and other assets or liabilities tied to LIBOR. Actions by regulators have resulted in the establishment of alternative reference rates to LIBOR in most major currencies. The U.S. Federal Reserve, based on the recommendations of the New York Federal Reserve’s Alternative Reference Rate Committee (comprised of major derivative market participants and their regulators), has begun publishing a Secured Overnight Financing Rate (SOFR), which is intended to replace U.S. dollar LIBOR. Alternative reference rates for other currencies have also been announced or have already begun publication. In response to the discontinuation of LIBOR, investors have added fallback provisions to existing contracts for investments whose value is tied to LIBOR, with most fallback provisions requiring the adoption of SOFR as a replacement rate. On March 15, 2022, President Biden signed the Adjustable Interest Rate Act into law (the “LIBOR Act”), which, in conjunction with regulations adopted by the Federal Reserve Board, establishes SOFR as the default fallback rate for any U.S. contract without a fallback provision. In addition, on March 4, 2023, the U.K. Financial Conduct Authority announced that, starting July 1, 2023 and continuing through September 30, 2024, it will permit the publishing of 1-, 3- and 6-month synthetic U.S. dollar LIBOR settings based on SOFR to serve as a fallback for non-U.S. contracts.

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, comprised of 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, 2023, 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, 2023, 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 audit 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, 2023, by correspondence with 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 (Unaudited)

June 30, 2023

 

 

 

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 (January 1, 2023 to June 30, 2023).

 

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.

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 (each member, a “Trustee” and, collectively, the “Trustees” or 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 (or otherwise, as consistent with applicable laws, regulations and related guidance and relief) 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 connection with their consideration of such 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 renew 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 renew 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 that was engaged to prepare an assessment of the Funds in connection with the renewal of the Investment Advisory Agreements (the “Broadridge Report”); (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 20-22, 2023 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 renewed at meetings of the Board held during the course of the Trust’s fiscal year on September 6-8, 2022 and December 5-7, 2022. In each case, the Board’s

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

 

 

 

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 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 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 the 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 the 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.

 

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 renewal of each Sub-Advisory Agreement, the Board also took into consideration

New Covenant Funds

 

 

 

 

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 the 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 renewal 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.

 

REVIEW OF LIQUIDITY RISK MANAGEMENT PROGRAM

 

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 20-22, 2023, 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 remains reasonably designed to assess and manage each Fund’s liquidity risk and that the Program adequately and effectively managed each Fund’s liquidity risk during the 2022 calendar year. The SIMC Liquidity Risk Oversight Committee also reported that with respect to the Trust there were no reportable liquidity events during the period. The SIMC Liquidity Risk Oversight Committee noted that additional monitoring processes, including manual reviews of upcoming market closures, have been implemented.

 

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.

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 in 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.

(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.
