September 30, 2017

Dear Shareholder,

As you review the details on the following pages, you will see that most of our funds experienced very good performance over the past fiscal year (10-1-16 thru 9-30-17). Although our performance trailed many of our benchmark indexes over the period, it was mostly due to the impact that a couple of very large companies (ones we screen out) had on the various indexes during this period.

The positive returns we experienced are, we believe, in large part the result of our country’s leadership changes in Washington, DC, and the positive pro-business agenda they are pursuing. These changes gave us a positive long-term view of our economy and, therefore the equity markets. Even though we experienced periodic short-term volatility, we fully expect the market trend to continue. Nevertheless, Timothy Partners, Ltd, (the “Advisor”) continued (and will continue) to take a conservative approach to the markets as we believe our shareholders prefer a preservation of principal course to that of chasing returns. I do need to reiterate, however, that, in the capital markets in general and our funds in particular, returns can never be guaranteed.

For more complete information about the individual Funds, please read each of the sub-advisors’ annual review letters in the pages that follow. They more fully detail the various factors that impacted this fiscal year’s performance along with their economic outlook for the coming year.

Although we cannot guarantee any actual outcome, I remain confident that all our sub-advisors are, in our opinion, among the best in the industry and they each continue to honor our overall policy to manage their respective funds both in accordance with our screening restrictions and with a continued conservative bias.

Finally, I would once again like to thank you for your moral convictions that led you to becoming part of the Timothy Plan Family.

Yours in Christ,

Arthur D. Ally

Timothy Plan Aggressive Growth Fund

Letter from the Manager – September 30, 2017

The economic advances that started several years ago have continued throughout 2017, driving the equity markets to new highs. The unemployment rate which has been declining rapidly since 2013 has continued to decline, with the most recent unemployment rate of 4.2 percent reflecting a healthy job market. Other macro data points continue to be strong, and most importantly quite stable. We are entering the fifth year of consistent US CPI reports [ex food and energy]; the August report of 1.7 percent is at the bottom of the 5 year range of 1.7 – 2.2 percent. Meanwhile, the US GDP is also remarkably stable over the past several years, reflecting a steadily improving economic environment, with Q2 2017 GDP growth of 2.2 percent. This low level of macroeconomic volatility can explain why US equity valuations are moving to all-time highs. Equity investors are willing to pay a premium for consistent and healthy growth, be it for individual stocks or overall equity markets.

Timothy Plan Aggressive Growth Fund (the “Fund’) enjoyed strong returns for the year ended September 30, 2017, gaining 6.36% in the September 2017 quarter, 17.06% year to date, and 19.16% over the last 12 months for Class I. This compares favorably to the Russell Midcap Growth Index that returned 5.28% in the past quarter, 17.28% year to date, and 17.82% over the last 12 months.

The outperformance over the past 12 months was driven by strong stock selection in the consumer discretionary and the industrial sectors. Our largest stock outperformer in the consumer discretionary sector was Vail Resorts [MTN], as they continue to be a leading consolidator of ski resorts, most recently acquiring Whistler in Vancouver. The company is benefiting from network effects as more skiers are purchasing season passes that can be used in any one of their 19 resorts. In the industrial sector, the Fund’s strong performance was driven by its investments in Chemours [CC] and Albemarle [ALB]. Chemours is benefiting from strong titanium dioxide pricing and utilization trends. Albemarle is experiencing fantastic growth in lithium utilization and pricing, which has a promising multi-year outlook given the rapid adoption of electric vehicles on a global scale.

Regarding the underperformance within the portfolio, our investments in the energy and oil service industries proved to be disappointing. Given the high level of commodity volatility, as well as unfavorable supply / demand metrics, we have sold those underperforming securities, and instead we will look to generate alpha in other sectors.

Looking forward, we are optimistic that the healthcare sector in particular will generate strong returns, as there are several exciting medical advances occurring in the biotech industry, particularly in the treatment of various cancers and orphan diseases. We continue to find unique, attractive investment opportunities in many sectors, particularly in the healthcare and industrial sectors.

Letter From The Manager

Timothy Plan International Fund

September 30, 2017

International stocks joined the equity bull market over the last twelve months ended September 30, 2017 with Timothy Plan International Fund (the “Fund”) participating nicely.

The Fund had a strong absolute return over this period while its return relative to the MSCI EAFE Index closely matched the solid index performance. Sector allocation versus the benchmark index was a slight positive. An underweight to the underperforming Real Estate and Consumer Staples sectors and an overweight to the outperforming Technology sector were positive while holding any cash over the year was negative in this strong equity market. Good stock selection in the Health Care and Consumer Discretionary sectors helped performance and outweighed tough stock selection in the Financials sector. Stock selection in Belgium and France provided positive alpha while selection in the United Kingdom (UK) and Germany was challenging over the year. Positive returns from Ipsen SA (Health Care-France), KBC Groupe SA (Financials-Belgium), and Techtronic Industries (Consumer Discretionary-Hong Kong) helped absolute and relative performance while Shire PLC (Health Care-UK) was the most challenging for the portfolio during this period.

Equity markets were hesitant post the Brexit vote and prior to the US presidential elections but gained confidence after the election of President Trump. While UK Prime Minister Theresa May did trigger Article 50 of the EU Constitution to formally begin the exit of the UK from the European Union, this was more than offset by the very positive result of the French election. New French president Emmanuel Macron was welcomed by a positive response from European equity markets. The combination of reduced political risks as well as very accommodative monetary policy in the Eurozone area led to a strong pick up in business and consumer confidence. Inflation remains subdued and while interest rates have risen some, they remain at very low levels. The Eurozone economy appears to be firing on all cylinders and investor optimism has followed the strong earnings momentum. Corporate Japan’s further improvement in returns on equity and shareholder remuneration continues to unveil more investment opportunities there. Equity volatility remains at very low levels globally causing some concern that markets are too complacent but positive economic momentum remains. The dollar depreciated, even after its strong knee-jerk move post the Trump election, leading to strong international currencies helping the Fund’s performance.

While valuations have risen across the globe with the rise in the equity markets we continue to find attractive investment opportunities in Europe, Asia, and the emerging markets. Economic momentum remains positive and monetary policies across the globe remain very accommodative providing a substantial tailwind to asset prices. We remain committed to a consistent investment approach dedicated to finding long-term investments for the Fund. We thank you for your continued investment in the Fund.

Timothy Plan Large/Mid Cap Growth Fund

Letter from the Manager – September 30, 2017

 

  

LOGO

 

      

We wrote in this letter last year that the market – in that trailing 12-month period – had defied the expectations of many market strategists and investors by climbing all four quarters for a gain of 14-15% on both the S&P500 and the Russell 1000 Growth index. Well, here we are a year later, the market has risen all four quarters again, and the total return on the S&P500 was 18.6% while large-cap growth stocks powered the Russell 1000 Growth to a whopping 22%! This year’s impressive rally began after the presidential election, which brought along with it expectations for: 1) a return to strong economic growth, 2) regulatory relief, and 3) a business-friendly environment that includes lower corporate and individual taxes. Even though most of these are still in the “hoped-for” category, the market has powered higher. This is likely due to corporate earnings up a higher-than-expected 11% year-to-date, and the Fed’s movement toward “normalization” of interest rates – and the attendant implication that the economy is now doing well enough to no longer need Q.E. (quantitative easing).

When large-cap growth stocks have the kind of historic gains that we’ve seen of late, it is very difficult for Timothy Plan Large/Mid Growth Fund (the “Fund”) to stay close to these eye-popping numbers. The Fund is significantly smaller than the benchmark (though this did not have an impact in the period) and also not as “growthy” — by virtue of the restriction of not being able to own many of the bellwether growth stocks. This less-growthy headwind is compounded when Technology leads the market (as we essentially have a “structural” underweight there); Tech was the best-performing sector in the R1G, up 31.6% over the twelve months.

The Fund advanced 17% for the 12 months ended September 30, 2017 for Class I, while the return of the benchmark, the Russell 1000 Growth Index, was +22%. Beyond the headwinds mentioned above, our performance was held back by poor selection in the Consumer Discretionary sector (AutoZone and Foot Locker); we also had an average 3.8% weight in the Energy sector (vs. the R1G’s almost non-existent weight of 0.6%), and since this was the worst-performing sector (-12.1%), that was a detractor. Additionally, in such a strong market, any amount of cash acts as ballast, thus our average 11% cash holding was a negative. On the positive side, we were able to offset some of the hit from being underweight Technology with good stock selection: chip-maker NVIDIA had another great year, up 162%, and security-software company Check Point Software rose 47%. Healthcare was also a good area for us, as our holdings were up 35%, vs. the benchmark sector’s +20%.

For the portfolio, there has been no change to our time-tested, bottom up fundamental approach to managing large and mid-cap growth investments. As an overview, the portfolio remains well diversified by issuers and by sectors as all areas of the economy are impacted by broad macroeconomic trends. We continue to find attractive investments at reasonable valuations. Looking forward, with the economy on solid footing, we are optimistic that economically-sensitive sectors (like Materials and Industrials) will generate strong returns. And with the Fed likely to continue on a pace of measured rate increases, the Financial sector is also where we expect to find compelling investment opportunities.

LETTER FROM THE MANAGER

TIMOTHY PLAN SMALL CAP VALUE FUND

We are pleased to provide you with our report for Timothy Plan Small Cap Value Fund (the “Fund”) for the twelve months ended September 30, 2017 and would like to thank you for entrusting your assets with us.

Looking back, the last year has seen regime change unfold across the investing landscape as the equity markets marched higher. While the election last November stands out, there were already forces underway to normalize the post-financial crisis monetary policy after interest rates posted their lowest levels in the last 5,000 years and trillions of dollars of debt had negative yields. The Federal Reserve hiked rates three times so far and began the process of reducing their balance sheet at the most recent meeting. The bump in the markets from the victory by Donald Trump further helped shift sentiment on the potential for fiscal policies to be a tailwind in the coming years for businesses. Although legislative changes to health care or corporate taxes remained elusive so far, there have been tangible efforts to reduce the regulatory burdens and that easing is starting to be seen at the company-level. Growth domestically remained positive while overseas, Europe appeared to improve and a global growth belief started to gain traction with investors. Other equity trends reversed from last year, as growth stocks outpaced value stocks and large caps topped small caps.

For the twelve months ended September 30, 2017, Timothy Plan Small Cap Value Fund produced a net return of 21.89% for Class I, while the Russell 2000 Index produced a return of 20.74%. Security selection was resoundingly positive during the period in Information Technology with Health Care and Financials also contributing positively. In such a strong absolute period, the Fund’s higher cash allocation resulted in a negative drag on performance.

Both Consumer sectors saw challenges in terms of stock selection and detracted from relative performance. In Consumer Discretionary, fears over changing consumer behaviors for retail and apparel companies as well as restaurants weighed on performance. Similar fears pressured one of our holdings in Consumer Staples though the sector itself struggled to try and keep pace with the torrid gains seen overall in the small cap space. A modest overweight in Energy, the only sector to post a loss for the last twelve months, also negatively impacted relative performance.

The Small Cap Value team is focused on seeking well-run companies with growth prospects that are underappreciated by the marketplace. We look for companies with above average growth and strong balance sheets that generate positive cash flows. As economic growth continues, we feel our companies are well positioned to achieve higher earnings and have the potential to provide superior relative returns.

We thank you for your continued confidence in the Westwood process and investment teams and we look forward to serving your investment needs through the years ahead.

TIMOTHY PLAN LARGE/MID CAP VALUE FUND

We are pleased to provide you with our report for Timothy Plan Large/Mid Cap Value Fund (the “Fund”) for the twelve months ended September 30, 2017 and would like to thank you for entrusting your assets with us.

Looking back, the last year has seen regime change unfold across the investing landscape as the equity markets marched higher. While the election last November stands out, there were already forces underway to normalize the post-financial crisis monetary policy after interest rates posted their lowest levels in the last 5,000 years and trillions of dollars of debt had negative yields. The Federal Reserve hiked rates three times so far and began the process of reducing their balance sheet at the most recent meeting. The bump in the markets from the victory by Donald Trump further helped shift sentiment on the potential for fiscal policies to be a tailwind in the coming years for businesses. Although legislative changes to health care or corporate taxes remained elusive so far, there have been tangible efforts to reduce the regulatory burdens and that easing is starting to be seen at the company-level. Growth domestically remained positive while overseas, Europe appeared to improve and a global growth belief started to gain traction with investors. Other equity trends reversed from last year, as growth stocks outpaced value stocks and large caps topped small caps. Financials were the best performing sector in the S&P 500. The sector saw several drivers arise including a more favorable regulatory environment and a positive interest rate environment. Since the financial crisis, banks in particular have seen increased costs for back office and compliance personnel to keep up with new regulations. In contrast, lower commodity prices weighed on the Energy sector, the worst performer during the past year.

For the twelve months ended September 30, 2017, Timothy Plan Large/Mid Cap Value Fund produced a net return of 13.36% for Class I, while the S&P 500 Index produced a return of 18.61%. While absolute returns remained strong, the relative performance faced headwinds. Notable positives included better stock selection within Information Technology and avoiding exposure to the Telecommunication Services sector which actually posted a loss.

The Information Technology sector saw several contributors as global growth improving in conjunction with secular trends expanding the markets for semiconductors saw strong flow-through to spending on semiconductor equipment. Both KLA-Tencor and Lam Research were top performers as the increasing number of chips in a variety of non-traditional end markets, like automobiles, and an increasing demand for memory were powerful tailwinds. Also, in Information Technology, Broadcom saw positive momentum in their acquired segments in addition to their classic wired markets as better results in the cellphone segment boosted their wireless results. With leverage to Silicon Valley and the broader tech space, SVB Financial moved higher. In addition, a more favorable yield curve and easing regulatory burdens were incremental positives that developed for SVB Financial. C.R. Bard agreed to be taken out at a substantial premium by Becton Dickinson to create a powerhouse in medical devices.

The Fund’s high cash position created a negative drag on relative performance as the S&P 500 saw strong appreciation, largely driven by multiple expansion, as did an underweight to Financials, the top performing sector for the period. Further, security selection in Consumer Discretionary detracted from relative performance as changing dynamics in the auto parts industry weighed on shares of Advanced Auto Parts. Similarly, fears over the secular pressures on retail tenants pressured Simon Property Group. J.M. Smucker faced challenges in their coffee and pet businesses, though management responded with additional cost take outs to help offset the impact to earnings. Patterson Companies decided to not renew an exclusive relationship with Sirona, causing investor concerns and compounding the weakness seen in trends in their dental consumable and animal health segments. RSP Permian suffered from volatile crude oil prices and concerns surrounding the ratio of natural gas to crude oil in the Permian basin from results at a competitor.

The Westwood team remains focused on seeking high-quality companies trading at a discount to intrinsic value. While market returns have most recently been bolstered by unprecedented monetary stimulus rather than fundamentals, we believe we may have reached the tipping point as regime change unfolds. The impact is on a number of fronts including monetary policy, at least domestically, shifting to be less accommodative with the Federal Reserve hiking rates and proceeding to reduce their balance sheet. On the fiscal front, easing regulatory burdens is beginning to be seen by corporations with the potential for legislative efforts in health care and corporate tax reform to come in the future. While the likelihood can be debated, the impact to corporate earnings would likely be very positive, though with some businesses winning and some losing. In total, the overall impact to the investing landscape should provide additional opportunities to active managers as dispersion of returns increases and correlations between stocks decrease. We continue to leverage our intensive research-driven process to identify securities with company-specific opportunities and visible earnings growth. As has always been our practice, we look to invest in companies with conservative balance sheets, robust free cash flow generation, and high returns as we believe those characteristics among others help provide attractive risk-adjusted returns for the portfolio. Given the above-average market returns over the past few years, we are mindful of the potential for downside risk and are focusing on opportunities which we feel have measurable and limited potential for loss should volatility rise.

We thank you for your continued confidence in the Westwood process and investment teams and we look forward to serving your investment needs through the years ahead.

Timothy Plan Fixed Income Fund

The fiscal year ended September 30, 2017 saw a modest increase in interest rates in part due to the “risk off” bond market response to Brexit having created a low starting point in rates. Timothy Plan Fixed Income Fund invests in the broad U.S. investment grade bond market benchmarked by the Barclays Capital U.S. Aggregate Bond Index which began the last 12 months with a 1.97% yield and ended at 2.55%.

The U.S. Treasury (UST) 10 year rate rose a little faster starting at 1.60%, peaking at 2.63% in March, and ending at 2.33%. The rise in U.S. Treasury (UST) rates began after the Presidential election. Investors began to anticipate higher economic growth from the new administration’s policies which supported a hawkish forecast of multiple Federal Reserve rate hikes. Post-election improvement of consumer and business sentiment (i.e., soft data) supported the Federal Reserve raising the Fed Funds rate 0.25% at the December 2016 and March 2017 meetings. However, the “hard” economic data did not keep pace with soft data expectations which led to a less hawkish view of future Fed actions along with lower inflation expectations. While short rates moved higher with the Federal Reserve actions, longer rates drifted lower in the last half of the fiscal year being influenced by modest economic growth and low inflation rates. This resulted in a flattening of the UST curve.

Corporate bonds remained the bond market’s bright spot as continued investor demand for yield drove credit spreads tighter by 0.35% by September 30th. Merger & Acquisition activity as well as shareholder friendly actions, which have been negative for the credit sector, slowed somewhat during the period. Energy credits reversed course and performed better as prices of oil and other types of commodity oriented companies improved. The Mortgage Backed Securities (“MBS”) sector struggled a bit during the period as the Fed floated ideas on how they would taper their $4.5 trillion balance sheet. We are keeping a close watch on the timing of the Fed’s policy to unwind their balance sheet.

Timothy Plan Fixed Income Fund A shares returned -0.81% over the 12 months ended September 30, 2017 slightly below the Barclays Capital U.S. Aggregate Bond Index at 0.07%. The overweight to Energy and Basic Industry holdings added value as these subsectors performed better than the overall index. Security selection in Consumer Non-cyclicals, Capital Goods and Transportation also added to results. The portfolio’s MBS holdings generated returns above their counterparts in the index. Detracting from results were our underweight to Financials, as the sector posted the best return for the period. The portfolio is positioned with modestly less interest rate risk than the market, an over-weight in corporate bonds and GNMA MBS for yield. We remain focused on generating income consistent with a prudent level of risk.

Timothy Plan High Yield Bond Fund

The fiscal year ended September 30, 2017 saw a modest decrease in high yield rates as Investor demand for yield remained strong. Timothy Plan High Yield Bond Fund invests primarily in BB and B rated high yield (HY) bonds with a benchmark of the Barclays Ba/B High Yield Index which began the last 12 months yielding 5.54% and ended at 5.16%. The HY market posted a return of 14.1% in calendar year 2016 which was the strongest calendar year return since 2009. Performance was led by lower rated credits and an outsized recovery in the energy and Basic Industry (including Metals & Mining) sectors. The momentum continued into early 2017, but lower oil prices in March and the uncertainty of tax reform caused HY spreads to widen in 2Q17. By June 30, 2017 negative Investor flows and higher issuance caused the HY market to reverse a four-quarter trend with total returns lagging the Investment Grade Credit sector. However, 3Q17 saw significant outperformance in HY as the market posted a total return of 1.89% and the highest excess return of any major bond market sector.

Returns have been fueled both by Investor demand and the expectation of declining default rates. In September 2017, Fitch reported that U.S. HY default rates are currently at 1.8% and have remained below 2.0% for the second consecutive month. Two top performing sectors were Basic Industry (Metals & Mining) and Energy where default rates have moderated significantly from 2016. Although not as significant as last year, HY market yields are still skewed higher by just a few industry groups. For example, the HY Energy sector yield spread above U.S. Treasury bonds was 675 basis points (bps) compared to 582bps for the entire HY market ex-energy.

Timothy High Yield Bond Fund A shares generated a total return of 6.94% over the 12 months ended September 30, 2017 while the Barclays Ba/B High Yield Index returned 7.74%. The portfolio’s overweight in Energy and Basic Industries benefitted results. We continue to hold Energy names especially MLP issues that we believe are less impacted by the price of the oil. Holdings in Communications, Consumer Cyclicals and Non-Cyclicals were also additive to returns. Detracting from performance was our underweight to Financials which posted the highest return in the index. The portfolio remains focused on generating a higher level of carry income consistent with a reasonable level of risk.

Dear Shareholder,

Timothy Plan Defensive Strategies Fund (the “Fund”) was designed and is managed to do what its name implies, hedge against a possible scenario of hyper-inflation which could result from our Congress’s proven unwillingness to address our core problems of too much spending and too many onerous government regulations. The Fund was also designed with built-in flexibility that allows it to be adjusted to address a possible risk of extreme deflation, with the ability to convert the inflation sensitive assets to cash and fixed income securities during a deflationary environment, and to be adjusted to a more normal, traditional investment strategy.

The Fund’s portfolio is comprised of four inflation sensitive investment sleeves: commodities (commodity company stocks and ETF’s), real estate (in the form of REITs), precious metals (primarily gold and silver bullion), and TIPs (Treasury Inflation Protected Bonds), with the balance in cash. Timothy Partners, Ltd. (the “Advisor”) is responsible for setting the percentages of the Fund that will be allocated to each investment sleeve. Different sub-advisors manage the holdings in each sleeve. As a result of continued low inflation and the general weakness in the commodities market over the past year, the Fund experienced a -0.54% total return for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2017 for Class I. For a more complete description of the elements that impacted Fund performance and the outlook for the future, please read the sub-advisors’ reports in the pages that follow.

I would like to point out that, since there does not exist an appropriate benchmark index with which to compare our performance, we have created a blended index comprised of roughly 1/3 each of U.S. Government TIPs, FTSE NAREIT Equity Index and Dow Jones UBS Commodity Index. We believe the blend offers a fairly accurate reflection and comparison of the composition of the Fund. For the fiscal year ended September 30, 2017, the blended index had a total return of -0.48%.

While no one can predict future events, I remain confident that our sub-advisors (i.e. money management firms that manage the various sleeves of this Fund) are, in our opinion, among the best in the industry, and they each continue to honor our overall policy that they manage their respective Fund sleeve both in accordance with our screening restrictions and with a conservative bias. As I stated in last year’s report, although we will do our very best to be successful, we cannot guarantee results in any of these scenarios.

Finally, I would once again like to thank you for your moral convictions that led you to become part of the Timothy Plan Family.

Yours in Christ,

Arthur D. Ally

Annual Letter from the Manager

   September 30, 2017        

We are pleased to provide you with our annual report for Timothy Plan Defensive Strategies Fund (the “Fund”) Commodity Sleeve for the twelve months ended September 30, 2017. The CoreCommodity sleeve of the Timothy Defensive Fund rose 6.6% on a net basis. Commodities were mixed over these twelve months with the broad Bloomberg Commodity Total Return Index falling (0.3%). Overall, the strongest performing sectors were industrial metals miners and agricultural producers, while energy producers and precious metal miners lagged.

Metals & Mining

Industrial metal commodities rose for the period, as the Bloomberg Industrial Metals Subindex Total Return Index rallied 24%. The Fund’s industrial metal holdings performed better than their underlying commodities returning almost 30% for the period. Copper and Zinc futures rallied over 30% over this year while aluminum rallied over 25%. Timothy Plan Defensive Strategies Fund Commodity Sleeve’s largest industrial metal holdings as of September 30, 2017 were MMC Norilsk Nickel, Lundin Mining, and Teck Resources.

Precious metal futures finished a choppy year down, with the Bloomberg Precious Metals Subindex Total Return falling (7%). After material outperformance last year, precious metal miners underperformed this year, with the Fund’s precious metal miners falling (17%) over the same time period. Holding a smaller allocation, on average less than 8% of the portfolio, in precious metal miners aided performance. Timothy Plan Defensive Strategies Fund Commodity Sleeve’s largest precious metal holdings as of September 30th were Gold Fields Ltd, Agnico Eagle Mines, and Tahoe Resources.

Energy

Energy prices had a mixed year with the Bloomberg Commodity Energy SubIndex Total Return ending down (3%). Coming off a strong year from the 12 months prior, the Fund’s energy companies fell a little more than futures, finishing down (5%). While the Fund’s Oil & Gas Exploration and Production holdings fell over (11%) this was somewhat offset by Integrated Oil & Gas companies rallying nearly 10%. Timothy Plan Defensive Strategies Fund Commodity Sleeve’s largest energy holdings as of September 30th were Lukoil, Schlumberger, and Pioneer Natural Resources.

Agriculture

Over the past year agricultural commodities fell (7%) as proxied by the Bloomberg Commodity Agriculture and Livestock Total Return Index. Over the same period the Fund’s agricultural holdings rallied over 20%. Strong results from livestock producers and fertilizer companies led to the Fund’s outperformance in the agriculture sector. Timothy Plan Defensive Strategies Fund Commodity Sleeve’s largest agriculture holdings as of September 30th were Potash Corp of Saskatchewan, Sanderson Farms, and Deere & Co.

Timothy Plan Defensive Strategies Fund – TIPS

Over the past 12 months ended September 30, 2017, U.S. global economic growth gained momentum while inflation remained tepid but volatile. The Timothy Plan Defensive Strategies Fund has an allocation of U.S. Treasury Inflation Protected Securities (TIPS) designed to help protect assets from higher rates of inflation.

Investors’ future inflation expectations began to rise in late 2016 and early 2017 but subsequently declined. We measure investors’ inflation expectations as the difference between the U.S. Treasury 10 year and the U.S. TIPS 10 year. This “breakeven rate” of inflation is what would be required to make these two securities have the same yield. The “breakeven rate” of inflation started the period at 1.54%, climbed to 1.97% by the end of 1Q17, fell to 1.72% by June 30th, and eventually settled at 1.85% by September 30th. As a result, TIPS securities generated a return of -0.73%, as reported by Bloomberg Barclays U.S. TIPS Index, for the 12 months ended September 30th.

The TIPS allocation we manage held 5 to 10% in investment grade corporate bonds and a modest allocation to GNMA mortgages for their higher nominal yield. Although inflation has remained relatively subdued, going forward we are concerned about the potential impact on inflation from Global central banks engaging in massive monetary stimulus and the potential of higher wages as the unemployment rate remains low. The primary goal of the TIPS allocation continues to be protection from rising inflation rates.

Timothy Plan Defensive Strategies Fund

Real Estate Investment Trust Sleeve (the “Portfolio”)

Annual Manager Letter: 12 months ended September 30, 2017

The market can be described as before and after November 8, 2016. With Trump winning the U.S. Presidential election, the market changed course, interpreting the election results as pro-growth. With both the Executive Branch and Congress controlled by Republicans, the expectation was that investor and business friendly legislation would be passed. Ten months later, the market still favored pro-growth, cyclicals and pure price momentum investments, although no major policies have been enacted. The market has also been driven by an improving global economy which continues to rise. Earnings have rebounded from the downdraft of 2015/2016, and multiples on earnings have risen even further. The root cause for this expansion is easy money across the globe from China, Europe, Japan, and the U.S. The central bankers have succeeded by inflating assets across the globe from equities, bonds, real estate, commodities, and now even bitcoin. Notably, Gross Domestic Product (GDP) in developed nations is still averaging about 2%. With the U.S. now unwinding quantitative easing (QE) and Europe signaling that their balance sheet reduction could begin next year, risk assets are on notice.

As the U.S. Federal Reserve became more hawkish and with the pro-business policies of a newly elected President, Real Estate Investment Trust (“REIT’) came under relative pressure as markets pushed up yields and favored growth and cyclicals. REITs were up .79% while the S&P 500® Index was up over 18% for the year ended September 30, 2017. Clearly, the market believes that cyclical growth and rising yields will not portend well for REITs. Interestingly, REITs historically have performed well in rising rates as that has meant a strong economy and thus a demand for space. Many REITs have imbedded annual rent increases tied to Consumer Price Index (CPI) or 2%, whichever is higher. Even better, hotels, self-storage and apartments have leases under one year so they are positively correlated with rising rates. However, the 2009 to 2015 period of QE distorted many yield securities and so called “renters” bought the space based on yield and not fundamentals. Thus, those investors who blindly believe that rising rates are negative for real estate are selling REITs and other yield oriented securities.

For the twelve months ended September 30, 2017, the Timothy Plan Defensive Strategies Fund Real Estate Sleeve generated a gross return of -3.08% versus the FTSE NAREIT Equity REITs Index return of 0.67%. Sub-optimal security selection in Healthcare, Specialty, Technology and Diversified hindered performance. Brookdale Senior Living, an owner and operator of senior living facilities, saw weak performance with shares declining 25% over the past quarter as cyclical supply hurt occupancies and rent growth. However, the company is undergoing a strategic review and we believe that recent transactions would value the company 50% to 60% or more from current share price. This was a big reason for our recent underperformance. Stock selection in Technology (data centers) hurt performance as we avoided a high valuation group, but the market has continued to reward price momentum. These stocks are trading 2.5 standard deviations above historical valuations. Lastly, our retail weight hurt performance as we continue to believe that the discounts to underlying real estate value range from -15% to -40%, whereas the above mentioned data centers are trading at a 20% to 40% premium to underlying intrinsic value.

 

13


After reviewing the sectors in which the portfolio underperformed, we believe that the data centers sector is overvalued, while certain retail areas are significantly undervalued. The areas that could see outsize returns are high quality shopping centers with grocery anchors and senior housing REITS given the attractive valuations and favorable demographics. REITs have significantly underperformed the S&P 500 year to date through October by 12.5% and thus even on a relative basis they are attractive as well. To adjust for and take advantage of these situations, we have increased concentration in some of our highest-conviction ideas. These changes may result in some short-term underperformance. Many investors have continued to flock to exchange-traded funds (ETFs), especially those investing in the FANGs — Facebook, Amazon, Netflix, and Alphabet (Google). We believe that one way to combat passive investing is to take a long-term approach that allows value to emerge over time. If experience has taught us anything, it is that this fascination with FANGs and price momentum should reverse and that value, as it has often done before, will emerge.

Dear Strategic Growth Fund Shareholder:

Timothy Plan Strategic Growth Fund (the “Fund”) is an asset allocation fund that invests in Timothy Plan underlying funds. The allocation percentages vary from time to time due to Timothy Partners, Ltd.’s (the “Advisor”) observations and perceptions of changing economic conditions. As of September 30, 2017, the allocation was as follows:

 

    Large/Mid-Cap Growth Fund      9.50%         Small-Cap Value Fund    5.50%
    Large/Mid-Cap Value Fund    10.50%         Aggressive Growth Fund    5.00%
    International    19.00%         High-Yield Bond Fund    6.00%
    Defensive Strategies Fund    12.00%         Israel Common Values    5.00%
    Emerging markets Fund      7.00%         Growth & Income    9.50%
    Fixed Income      5.00%         Cash    6.00%

Due to our more positive long-term outlook on the economy and the markets in general, the Fund’s allocation was adjusted to be a little more aggressive than we were in 2016 when we were concerned about the uncertain impact the political environment might have on the nation’s economy. At fiscal year end, the Fund’s overall allocation resulted in approximately 61.5% invested in Timothy Plan’s underlying domestic and international equity funds, 23.0% in Timothy Plan’s underlying bond and Defensive Strategies funds, 9.5% in Growth & Income, which also incorporates a relatively significant bond portfolio, and 6.0% in cash. While the Strategic Growth Fund’s performance was a positive 8.59% for Class A for the fiscal year ending 9-30-17, detailed descriptions of events that contributed to this past year’s performance of the underlying Funds is contained in each sub-advisor’s letter, found within the pages of this Annual Report.

We realize the volatility and uncertainty of the markets over the past couple of years may have been unsettling for many investors; however, as mentioned above, we believe the outlook for the capital markets for 2018 and beyond should be fairly bright long-term; nevertheless, we are committed to manage our funds with a definite conservative bias.

As you know, no one can guarantee future performance. However, the one thing that I can assure you of is that every one of our sub-advisors is doing their very best and our team here at Timothy is working very hard to provide you an investment with which you can feel comfortable.

Sincerely,

Arthur D. Ally

Letter From The Manager

Timothy Plan Israel Common Values Fund

September 30, 2017

Timothy Plan Israel Common Values Fund (the “Fund”) performed remarkably well on an absolute basis and relative to the benchmark Israel Tel Aviv 100 Index (“benchmark index”) index in the year ended September 30, 2017. On an absolute basis, the best performing sectors over the last twelve months were Consumer Staples, Financials, and Technology. While relative to the benchmark index, underweights to the underperforming Health Care and Telecom Services sectors while an overweight to the outperforming IT sector provided significant positive alpha for the Fund. Good stock selection in the Financials and Telecom Services sectors was also a positive contributor to relative performance. Strong individual contributors to performance included Nova Measuring Systems (Technology), Checkpoint Software (Technology), and Shufersal (Consumer Staples). The Fund also benefited from M&A activity as Israeli companies remain an attractive acquisition target to domestic and foreign companies desiring a foothold into leading edge technologies and innovations. The biggest M&A contributor to the Fund was Intel’s $15 billion acquisition of Fund holding Mobileye during the period. With leading edge companies in various technologies in Israel, the Fund’s largest sector overweight relative to the benchmark remains the IT sector. Any significant pullback in the IT sector would be a headwind to performance.

Israel’s economy remains one of the best performing developed economies in the world with above 3% annual GDP growth expected for 2017 and 2018. Underpinning this strong growth is continued strength in domestic consumption. While the housing market appears to have hit a softer patch, demographic and immigration trends in the country argue for continued long-term growth in housing. The Bank of Israel remained in the sidelines over the last 12 months with occasional participation in the foreign exchange market, trying to slow the appreciation of the shekel. Interest rates are likely to remain lower for longer as the central bank requires much higher inflation than the less than 1% that dominated over the recent period. Global trade has improved with the strength in emerging and European economies providing a near term boost to the export sector in spite of the headwinds from the strong shekel.

The Fund continues to invest alongside the innovative spirit of Israeli companies providing ample attractive investment opportunities. Strong domestic and global economic momentum should continue to support earnings growth. We remain committed to a consistent investment approach dedicated to finding long-term investments for the Fund. We thank you for your continued investment in the Fund.

LETTER FROM THE MANAGER

September 30, 2017

Timothy Plan Emerging Markets Fund

The net asset value of the Timothy Plan Emerging Markets Fund (the “Fund”) increased 21.52% in the 12 months ended September 30, 2017 for Class I. For the same period, the Fund’s benchmark, the MSCI Emerging Markets Index (the “Index”), gained 19.73%.

The Markets

Nearly all equity markets advanced in the third quarter, adding to year-to-date gains, as investor optimism outweighed geopolitical worries on both sides of the Atlantic and in Asia.

Emerging markets continued to outperform developed markets for the year, led by gains in China, South Korea and Brazil. The rise in China’s equity market (as measured by the Shanghai Composite Index) was attributed to better-than-expected growth in the world’s second-largest economy and to the strong performance of financial stocks.

The Fund

Holdings in financials (especially banks), telecommunication services and industrials contributed positively to performance. From a country perspective, allocations to Brazil, Russia and Hong Kong helped returns. At the company level, notable contributors included banks Sberbank (Russia) and Erste Group (Austria), Brazil-based educational services provider Estacio Participacoes and South Korean technology company Samsung Electronics.

Additionally, Hong Kong-based luxury goods companies Luk Fook Holdings and Chow Tai Fook Jewellery aided performance, increasing over 70% each. These retailers benefited from the Chinese demand for luxury goods, which, after a couple of years of stagnation, have grown substantially in recent quarters amid China’s improved economic environment.

A significant underweight to information technology (IT), in which our holdings rose but not as much as those in the benchmark, hurt relative returns.

Contributions to the MSCI Emerging Markets Index’s return were extremely concentrated for the period. The top five performing stocks were IT companies and the IT sector accounted for 40% of Index performance. The disproportionate contributions to the Index’s return highlight, in our view, the importance of being selective when investing in emerging markets. The elevated prices—and valuations—of many emerging market IT businesses were the main reason we have been significantly underweight the sector.

Other detractors included holdings in real estate and our meaningful underweight to China, as well as positions in Turkey and South Korea.

 

18


At the security level, Turkish real estate investment trust (REIT) Emlak Konut and Chinese textile company, Weiqiao Textile weighed on performance. Moreover, South Korean automotive-related companies KIA Motors and Hyundai Mobis declined.

In a relatively busy period, the Emerging Markets Investment Committee initiated positions in financial services firms Barclays Africa (South Africa) and Siam Commercial Bank (Thailand). Another new purchase included Mexican REIT Fibra Uno.

Other activities included the full sale of Brazilian wireless telecommunication services provider TIM Participacoes and Panamanian airline Copa Holdings. Additionally, the investment committee exited the Fund’s position in Argentina-based Arcos Dorados, McDonald’s largest franchisee that operates in 20 countries across Latin America and the Caribbean, and counts Brazil as its biggest market.

Outlook

While the return of investor optimism and the resulting strong performance of emerging markets over the past 18+ months have driven up equity valuations, we are yet to witness material improvements in company earnings or returns on equity, leading us to believe there is still ample opportunity to uncover value.

Valuations for emerging market equities remain attractive compared to those for developed markets (as represented by the MSCI World Index). Within the asset class itself, the valuations for value stocks (as represented by the MSCI Emerging Markets Value Index) continue to look attractive to us. After a solid performance in the second half of 2016, value stocks meaningfully underperformed growth stocks (as represented by the MSCI Emerging Markets Growth Index) by 16% over the last nine months. As of September 30, 2017, value stocks traded in line with their 10-year price-to-book average, while growth stocks traded significantly above their 10-year price-to-book average.

While emerging markets’ strong performance in the last several quarters can be perceived as good news, a deeper look into the MSCI Emerging Markets Index’s performance (i.e., how concentrated its return contribution has been) reveals, in our opinion, how investors may be best served by applying an active, opportunity-focused investment approach. At Brandes, our stock selection relies on a careful, bottom-up research, instead of assigning capital based on companies’ market-capitalization sizes without regard to business fundamentals.

We remain optimistic about the prospects for the Timothy Plan Emerging Markets Fund and thank you for your continued trust.

International and emerging markets investing is subject to certain risks such as currency fluctuation and social and political changes, differences in financial reporting standards and less stringent regulation of securities markets which may result in greater share price volatility; such risks are increased when investing in emerging markets. Additional risks associated with emerging markets investing include smaller-sized markets, liquidity risks, and less established legal, political, social, and business systems to support securities markets. Some emerging markets countries may have fixed or managed currencies that are not free-floating against the U.S. dollar. Certain of these currencies have experienced, and may experience in the future, substantial fluctuations or a steady devaluation relative to the U.S. dollar.

LETTER FROM THE MANAGER

September 30, 2017

Timothy Plan Growth and Income Fund

We are pleased to provide you our annual report for Timothy Plan Growth and Income Fund (the “Fund”) for the year ended September 30, 2017. Like you, our company and some officers continue to hold corporate retirement and personal assets in the Fund. We certainly thank you for entrusting your assets with us.

For the year starting 1 October 2016 through 30 September 2017, the Fund returned 5.19% for Class I. During the past year, every stock sector in the portfolio positively contributed to performance. The Finance and Technology sectors were the top performers while the Basic Materials and Energy sectors didn’t perform as well. Two top stock contributors were Insight Enterprises, which provides IT solutions, and Credit Acceptance Corp, which offers financing programs to automobile dealers.

We continue to see divergences in the indices and underlying stock returns. Stocks with earnings have underperformed stocks without earnings so far in 2017. Bargain stocks, those with inexpensive valuation ratios, positive and growing earnings, and relative price strength, underperformed stocks with the opposite characteristics. This is not normal and we expect this to reverse as it has in the past.

Bonds provided ballast to the portfolio and helped reduce volatility during the past year. This is one reason why we continue to advocate a balanced portfolio approach. We are also continuing to favor high quality bonds over lower quality bonds. They tend to hold up better in times of uncertainty and credit spreads on corporate bonds are near the lowest levels of this credit cycle.

This Fund has two main objectives, growth and income but also preserving capital in declining markets. We have been managing similar assets for over 40 years. We will adjust equity and fixed income levels according to our risk analysis. We do this on a weekly basis. We continue to see opportunities for small capitalization value stocks going forward as they typically have less exposure to international economies and more opportunities for growth.

 

21


Due to the lackluster U.S. economy, interest rates have remained subdued, but we think the best returns in bonds are probably behind us. However, when stocks suffer another setback, having bonds in the portfolio should help. We think volatility will continue but if our research works well, this actually could give us opportunities to take advantage of these moves.

We thank you for your trust in the James Investment Research Inc., we are grateful for the opportunity to serve you.

James Investment Research, Inc.

These financial statements include the following thirteen series: Timothy Plan Aggressive Growth Fund, Timothy Plan International Fund, Timothy Plan Large/Mid Cap Growth Fund, Timothy Plan Small Cap Value Fund, Timothy Plan Large/Mid Cap Value Fund, Timothy Plan Fixed Income Fund, Timothy Plan High Yield Bond Fund, Timothy Plan Israel Common Values Fund, Timothy Plan Defensive Strategies Fund, Timothy Plan Strategic Growth Fund, Timothy Plan Conservative Growth Fund, Timothy Plan Emerging Markets Fund and Timothy Plan Growth & Income Fund (the “Funds”). The Funds are diversified funds except for the Timothy Plan Defensive Strategy Fund which is a non-diversified fund.

The Timothy Plan Aggressive Growth Fund’s investment objective is long-term growth of capital. The Fund seeks to achieve its investment objective by normally investing at least 80% of the Fund’s total assets in U.S. common stocks without regard to market capitalizations and investing in the securities of a limited number of companies which the Fund’s Advisor believes show a high probability for superior growth.

The Timothy Plan International Fund’s investment objective is long-term growth of capital. The Fund seeks to achieve its investment objective by normally investing at least 80% of the Fund’s total assets in the common stock and similar securities of foreign companies through the purchase of American Depositary Receipts (“ADRs”) without regard to market capitalization, investing its assets in the ADRs of companies which the Fund’s Advisor believes show a high probability for superior growth, and allocating investments across countries and regions considering the size of the market in each country and region relative to the size of the international market as a whole. Although the Fund maintains a diversified investment portfolio, the political or economic developments within a particular country or region may have an adverse effect on the ability of domiciled issuers to meet their obligations. Additionally, political or economic developments may have an effect on the liquidity and volatility of portfolio securities and currency holdings.

The Timothy Plan Large/Mid Cap Growth Fund’s investment objective is long-term growth of capital. Current income is not a significant investment consideration and any such income realized will be considered incidental to the Fund’s investment objective. The Fund seeks to achieve its investment objective by normally investing at least 80% of the Fund’s total assets in U.S. common stocks with market capitalizations in excess of $2 billion.

The Timothy Plan Small Cap Value Fund’s primary objective is long-term capital growth, with a secondary objective of current income. The Fund seeks to achieve its investment objective by primarily investing at least 80% of the Fund’s total assets in U.S. stocks with market capitalizations that fall within the range of companies included in the Russell 2000 Index.

The Timothy Plan Large/Mid Cap Value Fund’s investment objective is long-term capital growth, with a secondary objective of current income. The Fund seeks to achieve its investment objective by primarily investing in U.S. common stocks. The Fund will invest at least 80% of its assets in the common stock of companies whose total market capitalization generally exceeds $2 billion.

The Timothy Plan Fixed Income Fund seeks to generate a high level of current income consistent with prudent investment risk. To achieve its investment objective, the Fund normally invests in a diversified portfolio of debt securities. These include corporate bonds, U.S. Government and agency securities, convertible securities and preferred securities. The Fund will generally only purchase high quality securities.

The Timothy Plan High Yield Bond Fund’s investment objective is to generate a high level of current income. To achieve its investment objective, the Fund normally invests in a diversified portfolio of debt securities. These include corporate bonds, U.S. Government and agency securities, convertible securities and preferred securities. The Fund will generally purchase securities that are not investment-grade, meaning securities with a rating of “BBB” or lower as rated by Standard and Poor’s or a comparable rating by another nationally recognized rating agency. Investments in these higher yielding securities are generally accompanied by a greater degree of credit risk than higher rated securities. Additionally, lower rated securities may be more susceptible to adverse economic and competitive industry conditions than investment-grade securities.

The Timothy Plan Israel Common Values Fund seeks to provide long-term growth of capital. This Fund seeks to achieve its investment objectives by normally investing at least 80% of the Fund’s total assets in the common stock of companies domiciled and/or headquartered in Israel through the purchase of American Depositary Receipts (ADRs) and direct investments in such companies on foreign stock exchanges, without regard to market capitalizations.

The Timothy Plan Defensive Strategies Fund’s investment objective is the protection of principal through aggressive, proactive reactions to prevailing economic conditions. To achieve its investment objective, the Fund normally invests in Real Estate Investment Trusts (“REITs”), commodities based Exchange-Traded Funds (“ETFs”), Treasury Inflation Protected Securities (“TIPS”), and currently holds gold and silver bullion.

The Timothy Plan Strategic Growth Fund seeks to generate medium to high levels of long-term capital growth. The Fund seeks to achieve its investment objective by normally investing at least 75% of its net assets in the following Funds which are other series of the Trust: approximately 2-10% of its net assets in the Timothy Plan Small Cap Value Fund; approximately 10-20% of its net assets in the Timothy Plan Large/Mid Cap Value Fund; approximately 10-20% of its net assets in the Timothy Plan Large/Mid Cap Growth Fund; approximately 6-18% of its net assets in the Timothy Plan High Yield Bond Fund; approximately 10-20% of its net assets in the Timothy Plan International Fund; approximately 2-10% of its net assets in the Timothy Plan Aggressive Growth Fund; approximately 10-30% of its net assets in the Timothy Plan Defensive Strategies Fund; approximately 0-10% of its net assets in the Timothy Plan Israel Common Values Fund; approximately 0-10% of its net assets in the Timothy Plan Emerging Markets Fund; approximately 5-20% of its net assets in the Timothy Plan Growth & Income Fund; and approximately 0-15% of its net assets in the Timothy Fixed Income Fund.

The Timothy Plan Conservative Growth Fund seeks to generate moderate levels of long-term capital growth with a secondary objective of current income. The Fund seeks to achieve its investment objective by normally investing at least 75% of its net assets in the following Funds which are other series of the Trust: approximately 2-10% of its net assets in the Timothy Plan Small Cap Value Fund; approximately 5-15% of its net assets in the Timothy Plan Large/Mid Cap Value Fund; approximately 5-15% of its net assets in the Timothy Plan Large/Mid Cap Growth Fund; approximately 2-5% of its net assets in the Timothy Plan Aggressive Growth Fund; approximately 6-15% of its net assets in the Timothy Plan High Yield Bond Fund; approximately 0-10% of its net assets in the Timothy Plan International Fund; approximately 20%-40% of its net assets in the Timothy Plan Fixed Income Fund; approximately 10-30% of its net assets in the Timothy Plan Defensive Strategies Fund; approximately 0-10% of its net assets in the Timothy Plan Israel Common Values Fund; approximately 0-10% of its net assets in the Timothy Plan Emerging Markets Fund; and approximately 5-20% of its net assets in the Timothy Plan Growth & Income Fund.

The Timothy Plan Emerging Markets Fund commenced operations on December 3, 2012. The Fund’s investment objective is long-term growth of capital. The Fund seeks to achieve its investment objectives by normally investing at least 80% of the Fund’s total assets in the common stock of companies domiciled and/or headquartered in countries that the Fund’s Advisor/Sub-Advisor believes are experiencing rapid or above average growth or industrialization through the purchase of American Depositary Receipts (ADRs) and direct investments in such companies on foreign stock exchanges, without regard to market capitalizations.

The Timothy Plan Growth & Income Fund commenced operations on October 1, 2013. The Fund’s investment objective is to provide total return through a combination of growth and income and preservation of capital in declining markets. The Fund seeks to achieve its investment objectives by employing a proprietary investment model to select equity securities for the Fund that the Fund’s Advisor/Sub-Advisor believes are undervalued and more likely to appreciate. The Fund’s Advisor/Sub-Advisor focuses on characteristics such as management commitment, value and neglect, and on equity securities that are underrepresented by institutional investors. The Fund’s Advisor/Sub-Advisor also assesses a number of fundamental factors such as earnings, earnings trends, price earnings multiples, return on assets and other financial statement data, as well as other proprietary calculations. The model evaluates over 8,500 companies of all capitalization ranges. For the Fund, the Fund’s Advisor/Sub-Advisor refines the model by using a capitalization screen and evaluates thousands of companies within the appropriate capitalization range. The Fund’s Advisor normally will sell a security when the investment no longer meets the Funds Advisor’s/Sub-Advisor’s investment criteria.

The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently followed by the Funds in the preparation of their financial statements. The policies are in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for investment companies. The Fund is an investment company and accordingly follows the investment company accounting and reporting guidance of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standard Codification Topic 946 “Financial Services – Investment Companies” including FASB Accounting Standard Update ASU 2013-08.

 

  A. SECURITY VALUATION AND FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

All investments in securities are recorded at their estimated fair value as described in Note 2.

 

  B. INVESTMENT INCOME AND SECURITIES TRANSACTIONS

Security transactions are accounted for on the date the securities are purchased or sold (trade date). The costing method for the Timothy Plan Funds is FIFO (first-in-first-out). Dividend income is recognized on the ex-dividend date. Interest income and expenses are recognized on an accrual basis. The Timothy Plan Aggressive Growth Fund, Large/Mid Cap Growth Fund, Large/Mid Cap Value Fund, Small Cap Value Fund, Israel Common Values Fund, Defensive Strategies Fund and Emerging Markets Fund have made certain investments in REITs and Master Limited Partnerships (“MLPs”). Dividend income from REITs and MLPs is recognized on the ex-dividend date. It is common for distributions from REITs and MLPs to exceed taxable earnings and profits, resulting in the excess portion of such dividends being designated as a return of capital. Income or loss from the MLPs is reclassified upon receipt of the MLPs’ K-1. The calendar year-end amounts of ordinary income, capital gains, and return of capital included in distributions received from the Funds’ investments in REITS are reported to the Funds after the end of the calendar year; accordingly, the Funds estimate these amounts for accounting purposes until the characterization of REIT distributions is reported to the Funds after the end of the calendar year. Estimates are based on the most recent REIT distribution information available. Withholding taxes on foreign dividends have been provided for in accordance with the Funds’ understanding of the applicable country’s tax rules and rates. Discounts and premiums on securities purchased are amortized over the lives of the respective securities. The ability of issuers of debt securities held by the Funds to meet their obligations may be affected by economic and political developments in a specific country or region.

 

  C. FOREIGN CURRENCY

Investment securities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollar amounts at the date of valuation. Purchases and sales of investment securities and income and expense items denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollar amounts on the respective dates of such transactions. The Funds do not isolate that portion of the results of operations resulting from changes in foreign exchange rates on investments from the fluctuations arising from changes in market prices of securities held. Such fluctuations are included in the net realized and unrealized gain or loss from investments. Reported net realized foreign exchange gains or losses arise from sales of foreign currencies, currency gains or losses realized between the trade and settlement dates on securities transactions, and the difference between the amounts of dividends, interest and foreign withholding taxes recorded on the Funds’ books and the U.S. dollar equivalent of the amounts actually received or paid. Net unrealized foreign exchange gains and losses arise from changes in the fair values of assets and liabilities, other than investments in securities at fiscal period end, resulting from changes in exchange rates.

  D. GOLD/SILVER RISK FACTORS

There is a risk that some or all of the Trust’s gold and silver bars held by the custodian or any sub-custodian on behalf of the Trust could be lost, damaged or stolen. Access to the Trust’s gold bars could be restricted by natural events (such as an earthquake) or human actions (such as a terrorist attack). Any of these events may adversely affect the operations of the Trust and, consequently, an investment in the fund shares.

Several factors may affect the price of gold and silver, including but not limited to:

   

Global or regional political, economic or financial events and situations;

   

Investors’ expectations with respect to the rate of inflation;

   

Currency exchange rates;

   

Interest rates; and

   

Investment and trading activities of hedge funds and commodity funds.

 

  E. NET ASSET VALUE PER SHARE

The Net Asset Value (“NAV”) per share of the capital stock of the Funds is determined daily as of the close of trading on the New York Stock Exchange by dividing the value of its net assets by the number of Fund shares outstanding. The NAV is calculated separately for each class of each Fund in the Trust. The net asset value of the classes may differ because of different fees and expenses charged to each class.

 

  F. EXPENSES

Expenses incurred by the Trust that do not relate to a specific Fund of the Trust are allocated to the individual Funds based on each Fund’s relative net assets or another appropriate basis as determined by the Board of Trustees (the “Board”).

 

  G. CLASSES

There are three classes of shares currently offered by all Funds in the Trust, except Strategic Growth Fund and Conservative Growth Fund: Class A shares are offered with a front-end sales charge and ongoing service/distribution fees; Class C shares are offered with a contingent deferred sales charge (“CDSC”) that ends after the first year and ongoing service and distribution fees; Class I shares, which commenced operations on August 1, 2013, are offered without any sales charges or ongoing service distribution fees.

Class specific expenses are borne by each specific class. Income, expenses, and realized and unrealized gains/losses are allocated to the respective classes on the basis of relative daily net assets.

 

  H. USE OF ESTIMATES

In the preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP, management makes estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, as well as the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the year ended. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

  I.

FEDERAL INCOME TAXES

It is the policy of each Fund to continue to comply with all requirements under subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code applicable to regulated investment companies and to distribute substantially all of its taxable income to its shareholders. Each Fund also intends to distribute sufficient net investment income and net capital gains, if any, so that it will not be subject to excise tax on undistributed income or gains. Therefore, no federal income tax or excise provision is required.

As of September 30, 2017, the Funds did not have a liability for any unrecognized tax benefits. The Funds recognize interest and penalties, if any, related to unrecognized tax benefits as income tax expense in the Statements of Operations. During the year ended September 30, 2017, the Funds did not incur any interest or penalties. The Funds are not aware of any tax positions for which it is reasonably possible that the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits will change materially within the next twelve months.

 

  J. INDEMNIFICATION

The Trust indemnifies its officers and trustees for certain liabilities that may arise from the performance of their duties to the Trust. Additionally, in the normal course of business, the Funds enter into contracts that contain a variety of representations and warranties and which provide general indemnities. The Funds’ maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown, as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Funds that have not yet occurred. However, based on experience, the Funds expect the risk of loss due to these warranties and indemnities to be remote.

 

  K. DISTRIBUTIONS TO SHAREHOLDERS

Distributions to shareholders, which are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, are recorded on the ex-dividend date. The treatment for financial reporting purposes of distributions made to shareholders during the period from net investment income or net realized capital gains may differ from their ultimate treatment for federal income tax purposes. These differences are caused primarily by differences in the timing of the recognition of certain components of income, expense or realized capital gain for federal income tax purposes. Where such differences are permanent in nature, they are reclassified in the components of net assets based on their ultimate characterization for federal income tax purposes. Any such reclassifications will have no effect on net assets, results of operations, or Net Asset Values (NAVs) per share of the Funds.

Permanent book and tax differences, primarily attributable to the book/tax treatment of foreign currency gains/(losses), PFIC gains/(losses), net operating losses and short-term capital gains, the expiration of capital loss carry forwards, adjustments for paydowns, C-Corporation return of capital distributions, grantor trusts, and partnerships, resulted in reclassifications for the Funds for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2017:

Effective May 22, 2015, the Timothy Plan Family of Funds entered into a precious metals storage agreement with Brink’s Global Services U.S.A., Inc. to maintain the custody of the gold and silver held in the Timothy Plan Defensive Strategies Fund.

Note 2 | Security Valuation and Fair Value Measurements

Fair value is defined as the price that a Fund would receive upon selling an investment in a timely transaction to an independent buyer in the principal or most advantageous market of the investment. GAAP established a three-tier hierarchy to maximize the use of observable market data 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 the asset or liability, including assumptions about risk (the risk inherent in a particular valuation technique used to measure fair value including such a pricing model and/or the risk inherent in the inputs to the valuation technique). Inputs may be observable or unobservable. Observable inputs are inputs that reflect the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability developed 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 developed based on the best information available in the circumstances.

VALUATION OF FUND OF FUNDS

A Fund may invest in portfolios of open-end or closed-end investment companies (the “Underlying Funds”). The Underlying Funds value securities in their portfolios for which market quotations are readily available at their market values (generally the last reported sale price) and all other securities and assets at their fair value based upon methods established by the Board of Directors of the Underlying Funds.

Open-ended funds are valued at their respective net asset values as reported by such investment companies. The shares of many closed-end investment companies, after their initial public offering, frequently trade at a price per share, which is different than the net asset value per share. The difference represents a market premium or market discount of such shares. There can be no assurances that the market discount or market premium on shares of any closed-end investment company purchased by the Fund will not change.

OPTIONS TRANSACTIONS –The Funds are subject to equity price risk in the normal course of pursuing their investment objectives and may purchase or sell options to help hedge against this risk.

Each Fund may write call options only if it (i) owns an offsetting position in the underlying security or (ii) has an absolute or immediate right to acquire that security without additional cash consideration or exchange of other securities held in its portfolio.

When the Funds write a call option, an amount equal to the premium received is included in the statement of assets and liabilities as a liability. The amount of the liability is subsequently marked-to-market to reflect the current market value of the option. If an option expires on its stipulated expiration date or if the Funds enter into a closing purchase transaction, a gain or loss is realized. If a written call option is exercised, a gain or loss is realized for the sale of the underlying security and the proceeds from the sale are increased by the premium originally received. As writer of an option, the Funds have no control over whether the option will be exercised and, as a result, retain the market risk of an unfavorable change in the price of the security underlying the written option.

The Funds may purchase put and call options. Call options are purchased to hedge against an increase in the value of securities held in a Fund’s portfolio. If such an increase occurs, the call options will permit the Fund to purchase the securities underlying such options at the exercise price, not at the current market price. Put options are purchased to hedge against a decline in the value of securities held in a Fund’s portfolio. If such a

decline occurs, the put options will permit the Fund to sell the securities underlying such options at the exercise price, or to close out the options at a profit. The premium paid for a put or call option plus any transaction costs will reduce the benefit, if any, realized by the Fund upon exercise of the option, and, unless the price of the underlying security rises or declines sufficiently, the option may expire worthless to the Fund. In addition, in the event that the price of the security in connection with which an option was purchased moves in a direction favorable to a Fund, the benefits realized by the Fund as a result of such favorable movement will be reduced by the amount of the premium paid for the option and related transaction costs. Written and purchased options are non-income producing securities. With purchased options, there is minimal counterparty credit risk to the Funds since these options are exchange traded and the exchange’s clearinghouse, as counterparty to all exchange traded options, guarantees against a possible default.

There were no options held at September 30, 2017, and there were no options transactions for the year ended September 30, 2017.

The Trust utilizes various methods to measure the fair value of all of its investments on a recurring basis. GAAP establishes a hierarchy that prioritizes inputs to valuation methods. The three levels of input are:

•Level 1 – Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities that the Fund has the ability to access.

•Level 2 – Observable inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. These inputs may include quoted prices for the identical instrument in an inactive market, prices for similar instruments, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, yield curves, default rates and similar data.

•Level 3 – Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability, to the extent relevant observable inputs are not available, representing the Fund’s own assumptions about the assumptions a market participant would use in valuing the asset or liability, and would be based on the best information available.

The inputs used to measure fair value may fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In such cases, for disclosure purposes, the level in the fair value hierarchy within which the fair value measurement falls in its entirety is determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety.

Each Fund generally determines the total value of each class of its shares by using market prices for the securities comprising its portfolio. Equity securities, including common stock, ADRs, REITs, MLPs, ETFs and warrants are generally valued by using market quotations, but may be valued on the basis of prices furnished by a pricing service when the Advisor or Sub-Advisor believes such prices more accurately reflect the fair value of such securities. Securities that are traded on any stock exchange are generally valued by the pricing service at the last quoted sale price. Lacking a last sale price, an exchange traded security is generally valued by the pricing service at its last bid price. Securities traded in the NASDAQ over-the-counter market are generally valued by the pricing service at the NASDAQ Official Closing Price. When using the market quotations or close prices provided by the pricing service and when the market is considered active, the security will be classified as a Level 1 security. Equity securities traded on inactive markets or valued by reference to similar instruments are categorized as a Level 2. When market quotations are not readily available, when the Advisor or Sub-Advisor determines that the market quotation or the price provided by the pricing service does not accurately reflect the current fair value, or when restricted or illiquid securities are being valued, such securities are valued as determined in good faith by the Advisor or Sub-Advisor, in conformity with guidelines adopted by and subject to review by the Board. These securities will generally be categorized as Level 3 securities.

Investments in commodities are valued at the spot rate at 4:00 p.m. Eastern time each business day and are categorized as Level 1 in the hierarchy.

Investments in mutual funds, including money market mutual funds, are generally priced at the ending NAV provided by the service agent of the funds. These securities will be categorized as Level 1 securities.

Fixed income securities such as corporate bonds, restricted corporate bonds, asset-backed securities, mortgage-backed securities, U.S. government securities, U.S. government agency securities and treasury inflation protected securities, when valued using market quotations in an active market, will be categorized as Level 1 securities. However, they may be valued on the basis of prices furnished by a pricing service when the Advisor or Sub-Advisor believes such prices more accurately reflect the fair value of such securities. A pricing service utilizes electronic data processing techniques based on yield spreads relating to securities with similar characteristics to determine prices for normal institutional-size trading units of debt securities without regard to sale or bid prices. These securities will generally be categorized as Level 2 securities. If the Advisor or Sub-Advisor decides that a price provided by the pricing service does not accurately reflect the fair value of the securities, when prices are not readily available from a pricing service, or when restricted or illiquid securities are being valued, securities are valued at fair value as determined in good faith by the Advisor or Sub-Advisor, in conformity with guidelines adopted by and subject to review of the Board. These securities will be categorized as Level 3 securities.

Short-term investments in fixed income securities (those with maturities of less than 60 days when acquired, or which subsequently are within 60 days of maturity) may be valued by using the amortized cost method of valuation, which the Board has determined will represent fair value. These securities will be classified as Level 2 securities.

The Board has delegated to the Advisor and/or Sub-Advisors responsibility for determining the value of Fund portfolio securities under certain circumstances. Under such circumstances, the Advisor or Sub-Advisor will use its best efforts to arrive at the fair value of a security held by the Fund under all reasonably ascertainable facts and circumstances. The Advisor must prepare a report for the Board not less than quarterly containing a complete listing of any securities for which fair value pricing was employed and detailing the specific reasons for such fair value pricing. The Board has adopted written policies and procedures to guide the Advisor and Sub-Advisors with respect to the circumstances under which, and the methods to be used, in fair valuing securities.

Note 4 | Investment Management Fee and Other Transactions with Related Parties

Timothy Partners, Ltd., (“TPL”) is the investment advisor for the Funds pursuant to an investment advisory agreement (the “Agreement”) that was renewed by the Board on February 26, 2017. TPL supervises the investment of the assets of each Fund in accordance with the objectives, policies and restrictions of the Trust. Under the terms of the Agreement, as amended, TPL receives a fee, accrued daily and paid monthly, at an annual rate of 1.20% of the average daily net assets of the Timothy Plan Emerging Markets Fund; 1.00% of the average daily net assets of the Timothy Plan International Fund and Timothy Plan Israel Common Values Fund; 0.85% of the average daily net assets of the Timothy Plan Aggressive Growth, the Timothy Plan Small Cap Value, the Timothy Plan Large/Mid Cap Growth, the Timothy Plan Growth & Income and the Timothy Plan Large/Mid Cap Value Funds; 0.60% of the average daily net assets of the Timothy Plan Fixed Income, the Timothy Plan High Yield Bond, and the Timothy Plan Defensive Strategies Funds; and 0.65% of the average daily net assets of the Timothy Plan Conservative Growth and the Timothy Plan Strategic Growth Funds. TPL has voluntarily agreed to reduce the fee it receives from the Emerging Markets Fund to 1.15%; from the International Fund to 0.95%; from the Small Cap Value Fund, the Large/Mid Cap Growth Fund and the Growth & Income Fund to 0.80%; from the Aggressive Growth Fund to 0.75%; from the High Yield Bond Fund and the Defensive Strategies Fund to 0.55%; and from the Fixed Income Fund to 0.40%. Effective March 1, 2017, the Large/Mid Cap Value Fund reduced the fee it receives to 0.75% from 0.80%. Such voluntary fee reductions/reimbursements may be authorized by TPL at any time, but such action shall not obligate TPL to waive any fees in the near future. Such voluntary fee reductions/reimbursements are not subject to future recoupment. An officer and trustee of the Funds is also an officer and owner of the Advisor.

For the year ended September 30, 2017, TPL waived and reimbursed the Funds as follows:

Transfer agency fees for the Funds are combined with the Fund Accounting and Fund Administration fees under the Trust’s agreement with GFS. Therefore, there is no separate base annual fee per Fund or share class.

An officer of the Trust is also an employee of GFS, and is not paid any fees directly by the Trust for serving in such capacity.

The Timothy Plan Aggressive Growth, Timothy Plan International, Timothy Plan Large/Mid Cap Growth, Timothy Plan Small Cap Value, Timothy Plan Large/Mid Cap Value, Timothy Plan Fixed Income, Timothy Plan High Yield Bond, Timothy Plan Defensive Strategies, Timothy Plan Israel Common Values, Timothy Plan Emerging Markets, and Timothy Plan Growth & Income Funds have adopted shareholder services plans (the “Plans”) pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended. The Plans provide that the Funds will pay TPL or others for expenses that relate to the promotion or distribution of shares. Under the Class A Plan, the Funds will pay TPL a fee at an annual rate of 0.25%, payable monthly, of the average daily net assets attributable to such class of shares. Under the Class C Plan, the Funds will pay TPL a fee at an annual rate of 1.00%, payable monthly, of which, 0.25% may be a service fee and 0.75% may be payable to outside broker/dealers, of the average daily net assets attributable to such class of shares. Class I shares are not subject to the shareholder services plan.

The Timothy Plan Conservative Growth and Timothy Plan Strategic Growth Funds have adopted shareholder services plans (the “Plans”) pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended. The Plans provide that the Funds will pay TPL or others for expenses that relate to the promotion or distribution of shares. Class A shares of the Funds do not impose a service fee. Under the Class C Plan, the Funds will pay TPL a fee at an annual rate of 0.75%, payable monthly to outside broker/dealers, of the average daily net assets attributable to such class of shares.

The difference between book basis and tax basis unrealized appreciation (depreciation), undistributed net investment income (loss) and accumulated net realized gain (loss) from investments are primarily attributable to the tax deferral of losses on wash sales, mark-to-market on passive foreign investment companies, and C-Corporation return of capital distributions. The unrealized appreciation (depreciation) in the table above includes unrealized foreign currency gains (losses) of ($22), ($8), ($822), and $985 for the Israel Common Values, International, Defensive Strategies, and Emerging Markets Funds, respectively.

Board Annual Approval/Renewals of Advisory and Sub-Advisory Agreements (Unaudited)

Timothy Partners, Ltd; Investment Advisor to all Funds.

The continuance of the Investment Advisory Agreement (the “IA Agreement”) on behalf of each series of the Trust between the Trust and Timothy Partners, Ltd. (“TPL”) was last approved by the Board of Trustees (“the Board”), including a majority of the Trustees who are not interested persons of the Trust or any person who is a party to the Agreement, at an in-person meeting held on February 17, 2017. The Trust’s Board considered, among others, the factors described below prior to approving the Agreement.

The Trustees, including the Independent Trustees, noted the Advisor’s experience in incorporating and implementing the unique, biblically-based management style that is a stated objective as set forth in the Funds’ prospectus.

To further assist the Board in making its determination as to whether the IA Agreement should be renewed, the Board requested and received the following information: a description of TPL’s business and any personnel changes, a description of the compensation received by TPL from the Funds, information relating to the Advisor’s compliance and operational policies and procedures, and a description of any material legal proceedings or securities enforcement proceedings regarding TPL or its personnel (there were none of either). In addition, the Board requested and received financial statements of TPL for its fiscal year ended December 31, 2016.

The Board also received a report from TPL relating to the fees charged by TPL, both as an aggregate and in relation to fees charged by other advisors to similar funds. The materials prepared by TPL were provided to the Board in advance of the meeting. The Board considered the fees charged by TPL in light of the services provided to the Funds by TPL, the unique nature of the Funds and their moral screening requirements, which are maintained by TPL, and TPL’s role as a manager of managers. After full and careful consideration, the Board, with the independent trustees separately concurring, agreed that the fees charged by TPL were fair and reasonable in light of the services provided to the Funds.

The Board also discussed the nature, extent and quality of TPL’s services to the Funds. In particular, the Board noted with approval TPL’s commitment to maintaining certain targeted expense ratios for the Funds, its efforts in providing comprehensive and consistent moral screens to the investment managers, its efforts in maintaining appropriate oversight of the investment managers to each Fund, and its efforts to maintain ongoing regulatory compliance for the Funds. The Board also discussed TPL’s current fee structure and whether such structure would allow the Funds to realize economies of scale as they grow. The Board next considered the investment performance of each Fund and the Advisor’s performance in monitoring the investment managers of the underlying funds. The Board generally approved of each Fund’s performance, noting that the Funds invested in a manner that did not rely exclusively on investment performance. Further, the Board noted with approval that the investment managers of each Fund did not succumb to “style drift” in their management of each Fund’s assets, and that each Fund was committed to maintain its investment mandate, even if that meant under performance during periods when that style was out of favor. The Board noted with approval the Advisor’s ongoing efforts to maintain such consistent investment discipline. The Board also noted with approval that the Advisor’s business was devoted exclusively to serving the Funds, and that the Advisor did not realize any ancillary benefits or profits deriving from its relationship with the Funds. The Board further noted with approval the Advisor’s past activities on monitoring the performance of the underlying Funds’ various investment managers and the promptness and efficiency with which problems were brought to the Board’s attention and responsible remedies offered and executed. After careful discussion and consideration, the Board, including the separate concurrence of the independent Trustees, unanimously cast an affirmative vote, and determined that the renewal of the IA Agreement for another one-year period would be in the best interests of the Funds’ shareholders. In approving the renewal of the IA Agreement for an additional one year period, the Board did not place specific emphasis on any one factor discussed above, but considered all factors in equal light. Further, the Board had available and availed itself of the assistance of legal counsel at all times during its consideration of the IA Agreement renewal.

Barrow, Hanley, Mewhinney & Strauss; Sub-Advisor for the Fixed Income, High Yield Bond, and Defensive Strategies TIPS sleeve.

The Sub-Advisory Agreement between the Trust, TPL and Barrow, Hanley, Mewhinney & Strauss (“BHM&S”), on behalf of the Timothy Plan Fixed Income, High Yield Bond and Defensive Strategies TIPS sleeve Funds, was last renewed by the Board at a meeting held for that purpose, among others, on February 17, 2017. The Board considered the following factors in arriving at its conclusions to renew the BHM&S Sub-Advisory Agreement for an additional year. First, the Board considered the fees charged by BHM&S in light of the services provided by BHM&S. After full and careful consideration, the Board, with the independent trustees separately concurring, agreed that the fees charged by BHM&S and paid out of the fees received by TPL were fair and reasonable in light of the services provided by BHM&S. In reaching that determination, the Board relied on reports describing the fees paid to BHM&S and comparing those fees against fees paid to other investment advisors operating under similar circumstances. Next, the Board discussed the nature, extent and quality of BHM&S’s services to each Fund, including the investment performance of the Funds under BHM&S’s investment management. The Board generally approved of BHM&S’s performance, noting that the Funds managed by BHM&S invested in a manner that did not rely exclusively on investment performance. Further, the Board noted with approval that BHM&S did not succumb to “style drift” in its management of each Fund’s assets, and that BHM&S was committed to maintain its investment mandate, even if that meant under performance during periods when that style was out of favor. The Board noted with approval BHM&S’s ongoing efforts to maintain such consistent investment discipline. Next, the Board considered whether BHM&S’s current fee structure would allow the Funds to realize economies of scale as they grow. The Board decided that this particular factor was moot with respect to the BHM&S Sub-Advisory Agreement because BHM&S was paid out of the fees paid to TPL. After careful discussion and consideration, the Board, including the independent Trustees separately concurring, unanimously determined that the renewal of the BHM&S Sub-Advisory Agreement for another one-year period would be in the best interests of the Funds’ shareholders. In approving the renewal of the BHM&S Sub-Advisory Agreement for an additional one year period, the Board did not place specific emphasis on any one factor discussed above, but considered all factors in equal light.

The Sub-Advisory Agreement between the Trust, TPL and Westwood Management Corporation (“Westwood”), on behalf of the Timothy Plan Small Cap Value and Large/Mid Cap Value Funds, was last renewed by the Board at a meeting held for that purpose, among others, on February 17, 2017. The Board considered the following factors in arriving at its conclusions to renew the Westwood Sub-Advisory Agreement for an additional year. First, the Board considered the fees charged by Westwood in light of the services provided by Westwood. After full and careful consideration, the Board, with the independent trustees separately concurring, agreed that the fees charged by Westwood and paid out of the fees received by TPL were fair and reasonable in light of the services provided by Westwood. In reaching that determination, the Board relied on reports describing the fees paid to Westwood and comparing those fees against fees paid to other investment advisors operating under similar circumstances. Next, the Board discussed the nature, extent and quality of Westwood’s services to each Fund, including the investment performance of the Funds under Westwood’s investment management. The Board generally approved of Westwood’s performance, noting that the Funds managed by Westwood invested in a manner that did not rely exclusively on investment performance. Further, the Board noted with approval that Westwood did not succumb to “style drift” in its management of each Fund’s assets, and that Westwood was committed to maintain its investment mandate, even if that meant under performance during periods when that style was out of favor. The Board noted with approval Westwood’s ongoing efforts to maintain such consistent investment discipline. Next, the Board considered whether Westwood’s current fee structure would allow the Funds to realize economies of scale as they grow. The Board decided that this particular factor was moot with respect to the Westwood Sub-Advisory Agreement because Westwood was paid out of the fees paid to TPL. After careful discussion and consideration, the Board, including the independent Trustees separately concurring, unanimously determined that the renewal of the Westwood Sub-Advisory Agreement for another one-year period would be in the best interests of the Funds’ shareholders. In approving the renewal of the Westwood Sub-Advisory Agreement for an additional one year period, the Board did not place specific emphasis on any one factor discussed above, but considered all factors in equal light. Further, the Board had available and availed itself of the assistance of legal counsel at all times during its consideration of the Westwood Sub-Advisory Agreement renewal.

Expense Examples – (Unaudited)

September 30, 2017

 

 

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

This example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire six-month period of April 1, 2017, through September 30, 2017.

Actual Expenses

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

Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes

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

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