SHAREHOLDER LETTER
DECEMBER 31, 2018 (UNAUDITED)
Dear Fellow Shareholders:
Our funds continue to prosper by consistently applying the conservative investment approach that has been successful over so many years.
Don’t Bite on the Double Move
Those of us in the Philly area are, once again, enjoying the improbable run of the Eagles to the playoffs. After a mediocre season they managed to sneak in on the last day despite numerous injuries on both the offense and defense. The impact of these injuries is most pronounced on defense where most of the defensive secondary positions are former backup players. In these critical playoff games many commentators are concerned about the tendency of these replacement players to “bite on the double move” on pass plays. This happens when a defensive player over-reacts early in the play and gives up a long pass behind him, often at a critical point in the game.
Investors should be wary of the risk of “double moves” in the markets, as well. We have hit a critical juncture where a confluence of events could easily contribute to classic investing mistakes. After a ten year bull market run fueled by massive amounts of liquidity injections by the Fed, artificially low interest rates, and accelerating economic growth, we are hitting an inflection point. The risk is magnified by the actions of central bankers around the globe that pursued similar policies at the urging of former Fed chairman Ben Bernanke.
Recently, the Fed initiated policy moves to begin to reverse the stimulus measures that have been in place for so long. The Fed started to increase short term rates very gradually in December 2015, and accelerated the pace over the past two years in an effort to push rates to more “normal” levels. The Fed also began to reduce liquidity injections by slowing the purchase of Treasury and mortgage securities, and by September of this year the Fed was reducing its balance sheet, allowing $50B of securities to mature each month without replacing them. These balance sheet reductions had the effect of draining liquidity from the system for the first time in almost ten years, and it is interesting to note that the recent market decline began at just about the time that the Fed balance sheet reductions began in earnest.
The recent market action highlights a risk that has concerned many economists since the inception of the quantitative easing experiment. If the massive liquidity injections by the Fed were intended to raise asset prices and stimulate economic growth, then the draining of that same liquidity should have the opposite effect. This effect could potentially be exacerbated since markets tend to react much more quickly, and forcefully, on the downside.
In a sense, both the Fed and investors are at risk of “biting on the double move”. The Fed had been moving cautiously, but seems to be accelerating its activity at a time that the markets and economy seem to be showing signs of vulnerability. It runs the risk of tightening too aggressively and then needing to delay further action or even reverse their moves. This could send confusing signals to the financial markets that have become entirely too reliant on support from the Fed. Investors run the risk of “biting on the double move” if they allow themselves to over-react to every move by the Fed. The investment markets are often driven by emotion and at times of uncertainty the impact is magnified. Investors could be tempted to cover every move and could easily find themselves out of position in the event of a reversal.

The Manor Fund
The Manor Fund fell 19.55%, net of all fees and expenses, during the year ending December 31, 2018, underperforming the S&P 500 index return of –4.38% and comparable mutual funds, as measured by the Lipper Large-Cap Core mutual fund index return of –5.15%. The Fund underperformed the S&P 500 index and comparable mutual funds during the trailing 3-year, 5-year, and 10-year periods with annualized returns of 1.54%, 2.36%, and 9.21% for the Fund compared to annualized returns of 9.26%, 8.49%, and 13.11% for the S&P 500 index, and returns of 9.02%, 7.50%, and 12.17% for the Lipper Large-Cap Core mutual fund index.
During the year ending December 31, 2018, the Fund was helped by strong performance from Microsoft Corporation, Anthem, Inc., nVent Electric, AES Corporation, and Microchip Technology Inc. The shares of Microsoft rose steadily throughout the first three quarters of the year and then fell as the stock market declined sharply during the final quarter. Microsoft reported revenue and earnings above expectations each quarter. The company reported strong results in each of its operating segments, Business Processes, Intelligent Cloud, and Personal Computing. The shares of Anthem fell early in the year when JP Morgan, Amazon, and Berkshire Hathaway announced a joint venture in the healthcare space. The shares recovered and then moved higher through the remainder of the year. Anthem reported earnings above expectations each reporting period and revenue growth that matched or exceeded expectations. The company also raised fiscal year earnings expectations later in the year. The shares of nVent Electric were also among the top performers, despite being in the portfolio for only a short time. The shares entered the portfolio as a result of a spinoff from Pentair, Ltd., and were subsequently liquidated to provide cash for another purchase. The shares of AES Corporation also rose steadily throughout the year. AES, a global power company, reported earnings above expectations most quarters despite experiencing revenue growth that fell short of expectations. Strength in the shares was also helped by a gradual improvement in the credit quality of the outstanding debt of the company. The shares of Microchip Technology also contributed to overall performance, despite being in the portfolio for only a short time. The stock was added late in the year as the overall market declined, and the timing provided an attractive entry point.
Notable laggards in the Fund during the year ending December 31, 2018 include Mohawk Industries, D.R. Horton, Inc., Western Digital Corporation, FedEx Corporation, and DXC Technology Company. The shares of Mohawk Industries fell sharply twice when the company reported earnings that were well below expectations, forcing the company to reduce fiscal year estimates each time. The maker of carpet and flooring products struggled with weakening demand, pricing pressures, and higher raw material costs. The shares of D.R. Horton were weak throughout the year, along with the entire homebuilding industry, as the company struggled with a weakened housing market and concerns about rising interest rates. The company was forced to reduce revenue expectation twice later in the year, offsetting relatively positive results during the first half. The shares of Western Digital declined steadily throughout the year. The company reported earnings results above expectations each quarter, but the stock was hurt by concerns about weak revenue growth as this maker of flash drive storage devices for electronic devices adjusted to expectations of a slowdown in unit growth. The shares of FedEx fell sharply late in the year when the company missed earnings expectations and lowered earnings guidance for the fiscal year. The company reported positive results during the first two quarters but succumbed to concerns that slowing global growth would hurt future operations. The shares of DXC Technology fell sharply during the fourth quarter. The company announced the departure of a prominent executive raising

MANOR INVESTMENT FUNDS
SHAREHOLDER LETTER (CONTINUED)
DECEMBER 31, 2018 (UNAUDITED)
concerns about recent executive turnover. The company also reported earnings that were better than expectations, but lowered revenue guidance for the next fiscal year. The announcements exacerbated investor fears that slowing global growth could contribute to further shortfalls in operating results.
We made several moves during the year to address underperforming positions in the portfolio and readjust sector concentration. We sold Zimmer Biomet Holdings, Amphenol Corp., Pentair and the Pentair spinoff, nVent Electric, Fortune Brands, JM Smucker, and Western Digital. We reinvested the proceeds from these transactions in DXC Technology, Cummins, Inc., Microchip Technologies, and Netapp. The net effect of the moves reduced exposure to cyclical sectors such as the housing and industrial sectors while increasing exposure to the higher growth technology sector.
The Growth Fund
The Manor Growth Fund fell 6.49%, net of all fees and expenses, during the year ending December 31, 2018, underperforming the S&P 500 index decline of 4.38% and comparable mutual funds, as measured by the Lipper Large-Cap Growth mutual fund index, decline of 0.38%. The Fund underperformed the S&P 500 index during the trailing 3-year and 5-year periods, with returns of 6.94% and 6.68% for the Fund compared to returns of 9.26% and 8.49% for the index. The Fund outperformed the S&P 500 index during the trailing 10-year period with a return of 13.18% for the Fund compared to 13.11% for the index. The Fund underperformed the Lipper Large-Cap Growth mutual fund index during the trailing 3-year, 5-year, and 10-year periods with returns of 6.94%, 6.68%, and 13.18% for the Fund compared to returns of 9.61%, 8.95%, and 14.04% for the Lipper index over the same time periods. The Fund continues to outperform Lipper Large-Cap Growth index since inception with an annualized return of 4.90% for the Fund compared to 3.42% for the Lipper Large-Cap Growth index.
During the year ended December 31, 2018 the Fund was helped by strong performance from Eli Lilly & Company, Amazon.com, Inc., Church & Dwight Company, Inc., MasterCard Inc. and Thermo Fisher Scientific, Inc. The shares of Eli Lilly rose steadily after the company was added to the portfolio mid-year. Lilly reported earnings above expectations in the final two quarters and raised fiscal year earnings guidance each time. The shares of Amazon rose sharply early in the year but then fell when the market declined. The company reported earnings above expectations each quarter and revenue growth in line with expectations. Amazon was one of the market leaders that drove the stock market higher through the early part of the year but managed to give up only a portion of those gains when the market fell into negative territory late in the year. The shares of Church & Dwight rose steadily throughout the year. The company reported revenue and earnings above expectations each quarter while maintaining conservative guidance numbers for future quarters. The shares of MasterCard rose steadily through the first three quarters before trading downward when the market declined during the fourth quarter. The company reported earnings that were better than expected each quarter and revenue that either met or beat expectations. The shares of Thermo Fisher Scientific traded higher through most of the year, suffering some weakness when stocks declined in the fourth quarter. The company reported operating results that exceeded estimates for both revenue and earnings during each quarter, while also raising revenue and earnings guidance during several quarterly reports.
Notable laggards during the year ended December 31, 2018 include IPG Photronics Corporation, LKQ Corporation, United Rentals, Inc., Southwest Airlines Co., and Diamondback Energy, Inc. The shares of IPG Photronics fell sharply mid-year when the
3
MANOR INVESTMENT FUNDS
SHAREHOLDER LETTER (CONTINUED)
DECEMBER 31, 2018 (UNAUDITED)
company reported revenue and earnings that missed consensus estimates, and then reduced revenue and earnings guidance for the coming quarter and fiscal year. The company attributed the reduced guidance to softening demand in Europe and China driven by macroeconomic and geopolitical factors rather than competitive dynamics. The shares of LKQ Corporation declined sharply early in the year when the company reported earnings that missed expectations and then lowered revenue and earnings guidance for the fiscal year. The stock also traded lower in the fourth quarter as the overall market declined. The shares of United Rentals fell sharply early in the fourth quarter driven by investor concerns about slowing global growth and weakness in the US stock market. The shares rebounded only modestly when the company reported revenue and earnings above expectations and raised revenue guidance for the fiscal year, but then succumbed to further weakness as stocks fell into negative territory late in the year. The shares of Southwest Airlines declined early in the year based on weak operating results. The company reported revenue and earnings in line with expectations, but showed limited growth in revenue passenger miles, an important metric for airline operators. The shares fell again late in the year after another weak earnings report and continued to decline as the stock market turned negative late in the year. The shares of Diamondback Energy traded slightly higher through the first three quarters of the year as the company reported revenue and earnings that were generally above or in line with expectations. The company also raised production guidance for the fiscal year. The shares fell sharply in the fourth quarter when investors became concerned that the slowdown in global growth might accelerate, and as the stock market declined.
During the year we reduced our investment in the biotech sector with sales of Gilead Sciences and Celgene Corp., liquidated Rockwell Collins prior to its merger with United Technologies, and Constellation Brands as the company expanded into the cannabis industry with the purchase of Canopy Growth. While many consider cannabis as a growth opportunity, in this case we believed that Constellation paid much too high a price for Canopy, thereby reducing the potential for appreciation in the stock unless growth far exceeds expectations. We reinvested the proceeds of these transactions by increasing our position in AbbVie, Inc., and adding new positions in Eli Lilly, United Rentals, and Landstar System, Inc.
The Bond Fund
The Manor Bond Fund rose 0.66%, net of all fees and expenses, during the year ending December 31, 2018, underperforming the Bloomberg Barclay Intermediate US Treasury index return of 1.41%, and the Lipper US Government mutual fund index return of 0.85%. The Fund underperformed the Bloomberg Barclay Intermediate US Treasury index and the Lipper US Government mutual fund index during the trailing 3-year, 5-year, and 10-year periods with returns of -0.24%, -0.06%, and –0.11% for the Fund, compared to returns of 1.20%, 1.47%, and 1.79% for the Barclay Intermediate Treasury index, and returns of 1.40%, 2.04% and 2.72% for the Lipper US Government mutual fund index. Performance reflects the relatively conservative position of the Fund’s investment portfolio of US Treasury securities. The Fund is managed as a low-risk alternative for conservative investors.
Resisting the Urge
The stimulus measures that we have enjoyed for so long made it seem all too easy. The virtuous cycle of central bank balance sheet expansion and liquidity injections lifted the markets and swelled investor accounts. Investors became enamored with the returns and underestimated the importance of risk management, relying instead on the Fed backstop. As the Fed continues the process of unwinding monetary stimulus, and as central banks around the globe begin to unwind their stimulus efforts, we will see higher volatility in the markets.

MANOR INVESTMENT FUNDS
SHAREHOLDER LETTER (CONTINUED)
DECEMBER 31, 2018 (UNAUDITED)
The Fed will remain cautious to reduce the potential for missteps, but the process will be long and we may experience an extended period of higher volatility.
We continue to believe that the best play in volatile markets is to avoid overreacting to emotional shifts and focus instead on investing in companies with attractive fundamentals and sound business strategies. A pullback such as the one that we have experienced can create a buying opportunity for patient investors, so we respect the discipline of our valuation model and constantly look for ways to improve the return potential of our portfolios. We continue to believe that the best way to generate attractive returns while managing risk will be to focus on long term opportunities while resisting the urge to cover every short term move.
Sincerely,
Daniel A. Morris

1. ORGANIZATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Organization: Manor Investment Funds (the “Trust”) is a Delaware Business Trust, (effective January 1, 2012) comprising of Manor Fund, Growth Fund and Bond Fund (collectively the “Funds”), and is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, as an open-end diversified management investment company. The Trust was originally incorporated in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania on September 13, 1995 and was dissolved by domestication in Pennsylvania on January 3, 2012. The primary investment objective of each of the Funds follows: Manor Fund – long-term capital appreciation and moderate level of income, investing primarily in common stocks of large corporations in the United States; Growth Fund - long-term capital appreciation, investing primarily in common stocks of U.S. corporations; Bond Fund - current income, investing primarily in U.S. Government obligations.
The following is a summary of the significant accounting policies followed by the Funds in the preparation of their financial statements. The Funds are investment companies and follow the accounting and reporting guidance of Accounting Standards Codification Topic 946 applicable to investment companies.
Security Valuation:All investments in securities are recorded at their estimated fair value, as described in Note 2.
Federal Income Taxes: The Funds’ policy is to comply with the requirements of the Internal Revenue Code that are applicable to regulated investment companies and to distribute all their taxable income to the shareholders. The Funds also intend to distribute sufficient net investment income and net capital gains, if any, so that they will not be subject to excise tax on undistributed income and gains. Therefore, no federal income tax or excise provision is required.
The Funds recognize the tax benefits of uncertain tax positions only when the position is more likely than not to be sustained, assuming examination by tax authorities. Management has analyzed the Funds’ tax positions and concluded that no liability for unrecognized tax benefits should be recorded related to uncertain tax positions taken on returns filed for open tax years (2015-2017) or expected to be taken in the Funds’ 2018 tax returns. The Funds identify their major tax jurisdiction as U.S. Federal, however the Funds are not aware of any tax positons for which it is reasonably possible that the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits will change materially in the next 12 months.
The Funds recognize interest and penalties, if any, related to unrecognized tax benefits as income tax expense in the Statement of Operations. During the period ended December 31, 2018, the Funds did not incur any interest or penalties.
Distributions to Shareholders: The Funds intend to distribute to their shareholders substantially all of their net realized capital gains and net investment income, if any, annually. Distributions will be recorded on ex-dividend date.

MANOR INVESTMENT FUNDS
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
DECEMBER 31, 2018
Other: The Funds follow industry practice and record security transactions on the trade date. The specific identification method is used for determining gains or losses for financial statements and income tax purposes. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date and interest income is recorded on an accrual basis. Discounts and premiums are amortized over the useful lives of the respective securities when determined to be material. Withholding taxes on foreign dividends will be provided for in accordance with the Funds’ understanding of the applicable country’s tax rules and rates.
Use of Estimates: The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of increases and decreases in net assets from operations during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Subsequent Events:Management has evaluated the impact of all subsequent events through the date the financial statements were issued and has determined that there were no subsequent events requiring recognition or disclosure in these financial statements.
2. SECURITIES VALUATIONS
Processes and Structure
The Funds’ Board of Trustees has adopted guidelines for valuing securities including in circumstances in which market quotes are not readily available and has delegated to the Adviser the responsibility for determining fair value prices, subject to review by the Board of Trustees.
Hierarchy of Fair Value Inputs
The Funds utilize various methods to measure the fair value of most of their investments on a recurring basis. GAAP establishes a hierarchy that prioritizes inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. The three levels of inputs are as follows:
·
Level 1. Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Funds have 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 on 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 that relevant observable inputs are not available, representing the Funds’ own assumptions about the assumptions that a market participant would use in valuing the asset or liability, and that would be based on the best information available.
28
MANOR INVESTMENT FUNDS
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
DECEMBER 31, 2018
The availability of observable inputs can vary from security to security and is affected by a wide variety of factors, including, for example, the type of security, whether the security is new and not yet established in the marketplace, the liquidity of markets, and other characteristics particular to the security. To the extent that valuation is based on models or inputs that are less observable or unobservable in the market, the determination of fair value requires more judgment. Accordingly, the degree of judgment exercised in determining fair value is greatest for instruments categorized in level 3.
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.
Fair Value Measurements
A description of the valuation techniques applied to the Funds’ major categories of assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis follows.
Equity securities (common stocks and real estate investment trusts). Securities traded on a national securities exchange (or reported on the NASDAQ national market) are stated at the last reported sales price on the day of valuation. To the extent these securities are actively traded, and valuation adjustments are not applied, they are categorized in level 1 of the fair value hierarchy. Certain foreign securities may be fair valued using a pricing service that considers the correlation of the trading patterns of the foreign security to the intraday trading in the U.S. markets for investments such as American Depositary Receipts, financial futures, Exchange Traded Funds, and the movement of the certain indexes of securities based on a statistical analysis of the historical relationship and that are categorized in level 2. Preferred stock and other equities traded on inactive markets or valued by reference to similar instruments are also categorized in level 2.
U.S. government securities. U.S. government securities are normally valued using a model that incorporates market observable data, such as reported sales of similar securities, broker quotes, yields, bids, offers, and reference data. Certain securities are valued principally using dealer quotations. U.S. government securities are categorized in level 1 or level 2 of the fair value hierarchy, depending on the inputs used and market activity levels for specific securities.
The following table summarizes the inputs used to value eachFund’s assets measured at fair value as of December 31, 2018:

7. NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
In March 2017, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2017-08, Receivables-Nonrefundable Fees and Other Costs (Subtopic 310-20): Premium Amortization on Purchased Callable Debt Securities. The amendments in the ASU shorten the amortization period for certain callable debt securities, held at a premium, to be amortized to the earliest call date. The ASU does not require an accounting change for securities held at a discount; which continues to be amortized to maturity. The ASU is effective for fiscal years and interim periods within those fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018. Management is currently evaluating the impact, if any, of applying this provision.
In August 2018, FASB issued ASU 2018-13,Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820):Disclosure Framework – Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement(“ASU 2018-13”). The primary focus of ASU 2018-13 is to improve the effectiveness of the disclosure requirements for fair value measurements. The changes affect all companies that are required to include fair value measurement disclosures. In general, the amendments in ASU 2018-13 are effective for all entities for fiscal years and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2019. An entity is permitted to early adopt the removed or modified disclosures upon the issuance of ASU 2018-13 and may delay adoption of the additional disclosures, which are required for public companies only, until their effective date. Management is currently evaluating the impact these changes will have on each Fund’s financial statements and disclosures.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Shareholders and
Board of Trustees of the
Manor Investment Funds
Opinion on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities of the Manor Fund, Growth Fund and Bond Fund (collectively the "Funds"), comprising the Manor Investment Funds, including the schedules of investments, as of December 31, 2018, the related statements of operations for the year then ended, the statements of changes in net assets for each of the years in the two-year period then ended and the related notes (collectively referred to as the “financial statements”) and the financial highlights for each of the years in the five-year period then ended. In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights present fairly, in all material respects, the financial positions of the Manor Investment Funds as of December 31, 2018, the results of their operations for the year then ended, the changes in their net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Basis for Opinion
These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Funds’ management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and financial highlights based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (“PCAOB”) and are required to be independent with respect to the Funds in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and financial highlights are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Funds are not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of their internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Funds’ internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.
Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risk of material misstatement of the financial statements and financial highlights, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements and financial highlights. Our procedures included confirmation of securities and cash owned as of December 31, 2018, by correspondence with the custodian. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements and financial highlights. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
We have served as the Funds’ auditor since 2003 ![[manorannual015.gif]](https://capedge.com/proxy/N-CSR/0001162044-19-000121/manorannual015.gif)

Expense Example
As a shareholder of Manor Investment Funds, you incur ongoing costs which consist of management fees and administrative expenses. This Example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Funds and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.
The Example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period, July 1, 2018 through December 31, 2018.
Actual Expenses
The first line of the table below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, together with the amount you invested, 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 entitled "Expenses Paid During the Period" to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.
Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes
The second line of the table below 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 the ongoing costs of investing in these Funds and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.
