SHAREHOLDER LETTER
DECEMBER 31, 2019 (UNAUDITED)
Dear Fellow Shareholders:
Our funds continue to prosper by consistently applying the conservative investment approach that has been successful over so many years.
Repo Man
Repo Man was a 1985 science fiction black comedy that became a cult classic. The main character was Otto Maddox, a punk rocker in LA who lost his job, lost his girlfriend to his best friend, and found that his hippy parents had squandered the money that they set aside for his education. While wandering the streets he is offered the opportunity to work repossessing cars, which he initially refuses. He changes his mind, and Otto, the once reluctant repo man, learns of a Chevy Malibu with a high repo bounty. The car is apparently possessed by aliens, but Otto and a mechanic from the repo shop finally grab the car, and when they do it suddenly flies them over the LA skyline and into space.
Early on, Fed Chairman Jerome Powell seemed to be a reluctant repo man, and some of his critics probably hoped that he would get launched into space, as well. Remember that early last year Powell set Fed policy on a course to normalize interest rates and reduce the Fed’s balance sheet as the economy showed signs of improvement. That policy raised concerns among critics who lobbied for additional stimulus, but the markets seemed to take it in stride. Things changed later in the year amid signs of economic uncertainty, compounded by Powell’s reluctance to slow the balance sheet runoff. Late in the year the markets reacted negatively, driving large-cap stocks down 15% and small-cap stocks down over 20%. As the markets hit bottom on December 26, Powell clearly made the decision to terminate the balance sheet runoff and lower rates. When the change was announced early in 2019 the markets reacted immediately, beginning a rebound that pushed the stock markets up and interest rates down
As the year progressed, however, investors began to focus once again on trade war tensions and signs of slowing economic growth, tripping up the equity markets and triggering a further decline in interest rates. At the same time the spread between short term and long term rates compressed, and briefly turned negative when the 10 year yield fell below the 2 year yield. This “inverted yield curve”, which often precedes a recession added to investor concerns. The markets stabilized and then began to move higher again when Fed chairman Powell announced that the Fed would “act as appropriate to sustain the expansion”, signaling the reemergence of the Fed market backstop and fueling investor expectations of future rate cuts.
Simmering in the background, however, were concerns about reduced banking liquidity due to the reduction of excess reserves at the Fed. Banks increasingly relied on these reserves to strengthen capital ratios, so declining reserves translated immediately into reduced liquidity as bank repurchase agreement activity evaporated. Liquidity shortages had occurred earlier in the year but became acute in mid-September when overnight rates on “repos” spiked to almost 10%. The Fed responded by pumping

DECEMBER 31, 2019 (UNAUDITED)
liquidity into the banking system through massive repo offerings and outright purchase of recently issued Treasury bills. This liquidity shortage, much of it out of the view of many investors, reached critical proportions as the Fed was forced to repeatedly increase the repo offering size. By year end the Fed had pumped more than $300 billion into the banking system, reversing much of the balance sheet reduction from the previous year.
The Manor Fund
The Manor Fund generated a return of 31.63% for the year ending December 31, 2019, outperforming both the S&P 500 index return of 31.49% and comparable mutual funds as measured by the Lipper Large-Cap Core mutual fund index return of 28.79%. 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 8.82%, 6.15%, and 9.61% for the Fund compared to annualized returns of 15.28%, 11.69%, and 13.55% for the S&P 500 index, and returns of 14.14%, 10.64%, and 12.23% for the Lipper Large-Cap Core mutual fund index.
During the year ended December 31, 2019, the Fund was helped by strong performance from Microsoft Corporation, Skyworks Solutions, Applied Materials, Inc., Avery Dennison Corp., and Equinix, Inc. The shares of Microsoft rose steadily throughout much of the year. The company reported revenue and earnings above expectations each quarter, driven by strong operating results in each of its business divisions. The stock gained momentum late in the year as the company won several cloud computing contracts, beating out Amazon. The shares of Skyworks Solutions traded stronger along with the market for much of the year, but then accelerated in the final quarter. The company reported earnings above expectations, despite a decline in revenues, raised earnings guidance, and reaffirmed previous revenue guidance. Investors reacted favorably to the higher margins implied by the improved earnings expectations. The shares of Applied Materials rose steadily throughout the year. The company reported revenue and earnings that beat expectations each quarter. Applied also raised earnings guidance late in the year. The shares of Avery Dennison fluctuated in reaction to earnings reports early in the year, but ended the year higher. The company beat earnings expectations each quarter but missed on revenues early in the year. The stock traded down somewhat, but rallied in the final quarter when the company reported both revenue and earnings above expectations. The shares of Equinix rose steadily throughout the year. The company reported strong revenue growth and exceeded earnings expectations each quarter, with the exception of one mid-year report.
Notable laggards during 2019 include DXC Technologies, Inc, Cabot Oil & Gas, Biogen, Inc., Booking Holdings, and Nucor Corporation. The shares of DXC Technologies fell sharply when the company reported earnings mid-year. The company exceeded earnings expectations but lowered earnings guidance significantly for the next year. The shares of Cabot Oil and Gas fell steadily through the middle of the year after the company announced full year revenue guidance that disappointed investors. The shares stabilized later, but subsequent earnings reports were not sufficient to push the

shares higher. The shares of Biogen fell sharply early in the year when the company announced the termination of Phase 3 trials of a promising Alzheimer’s treatment because the trials were unlikely to achieve their primary endpoint. The shares rebounded sharply late in the year when the company when the company reported earnings above expectations and announced that they would submit the Alzheimer’s treatment for approval after finding positive results within the previous study. The rebound, however, was not enough to offset the previous decline. The shares of Booking Holdings declined only modestly, but it was enough to push the shares to the bottom of the portfolio. The shares declined after a weak earnings report late in the year and then rebounded, but the rebound was not enough to push the stock into positive territory. The shares of Nucor were higher for the year but the positive return was not enough to escape the bottom performers. The company reported earnings that exceeded expectation in each quarter except one, but as the market rallied that one quarter misstep made a significant difference.
The Growth Fund
The Manor Growth Fund generated a return of 30.76%, net of all fees and expenses, during the year ending December 31, 2019, underperforming the S&P 500 index return of 31.49%, and comparable mutual funds as measured by the Lipper Large-Cap Growth mutual fund index with a return of 33.38% during the same time period. The Fund underperformed the S&P 500 index and the Lipper index during the trailing 3-year, 5-year period, and 10-year periods, with returns of 15.24%, 9.81%, and 12.49% for the Fund compared to returns of 15.28%, 11.69%, and 13.55% for the S&P 500, and returns of 20.48%, 13.18%, and 13.62% for the Lipper index. The Fund continues to outperform Lipper Large-Cap Growth index since inception with an annualized return of 6.04% for the Fund compared to 4.71% for the Lipper Large-Cap Growth index.
During the year ended December 31, 2019 the Fund was helped by strong performance from Apple, Inc., MasterCard, Inc., Worldpay, Inc., Thermo Fisher Scientific, Inc., and Microsoft Corporation. The shares of Apple traded lower early in the year when the company lowered revenue guidance. The shares rebounded as the company beat earnings expectations over the next three quarters, despite difficult year-over-year comparisons. The results lifted the stock and uptrend accelerated through the second half of the year. The shares of MasterCard rose steadily throughout the year. The company reported strong revenue growth each quarter, and beat earnings expectations each quarter, as well. The shares of Worldpay rose steadily through the first half of the year. Worldpay shares jumped when the company reported earnings above expectations and then continued to rally after the company agreed to be acquired by Fidelity National in a cash and stock deal. The shares of Thermo Fisher Scientific also rose steadily throughout the year. The company reported earnings that exceeded expectations every quarter and revenue that exceeded expectations in each quarter except one. The consistent performance was rewarded by investors as the share rally gained momentum in the final quarter. The shares of Microsoft rose steadily throughout much of the year. The company reported revenue and earnings above expectations each quarter driven by strong

operating results in each of its business divisions. The stock gained momentum late in the year as the company won several cloud computing contracts, beating out Amazon.
Notable laggards during 2019 include Alexion Pharmaceuticals, Diamondback Energy, Inc., Walgreens Boots Alliance, Inc., Expedia Inc., and AbbVie, Inc. The shares of Alexion Pharmaceuticals rose throughout the first quarter when the company reported revenue and earnings above expectations, and raised earnings guidance. The stock subsequently declined for the next two quarters, despite reporting revenue and earnings above expectations each time. The shares rallied in the final quarter, once again on a strong earnings report, but the rebound was not enough to recover much of the previous decline. The shares of Diamondback energy traded in a narrow range through the first half of the year. The shares traded lower based on two weak earnings reports and concerns that slowing global economic growth would pressure oil prices. The stock traded higher late in the year after the Fed’s aggressive liquidity injections allayed investor fears about growth prospects. Once again, the late rebound was not enough to offset the mid-year decline. The shares of Walgreens declined in the first quarter and remained weak through the balance of the year. The company reported revenue and earnings below expectations, and reduced earnings guidance. Two subsequent earnings reports that showed better results failed to rally the stock. Investors focused instead on the difficult operating environment for pharmacy benefit managers and regulatory investigations into opioid distribution. The shares of Expedia Group traded in line with the market through the first three months of the year, but then dropped dramatically when the company announced earnings in the fourth quarter. Expedia reported revenue and earnings that missed expectations, and reduced growth expectations from the low double digits to the mid-single digits. The news shocked investors since the company had traditionally met or exceeded expectations on a consistent basis. The shares of AbbVie traded poorly through the first three quarters of the year. The company generally beat revenue and earnings expectations, but investors focused on slowing growth of Humera, the company’s flagship drug. Humera, a significant contributor to AbbVie’s revenue and earnings, is experiencing slowing growth as other biosimilar generic treatments become available.
The Bond Fund
The Manor Bond Fund rose 4.23% for the year ending December 31, 2019, underperforming the Bloomberg Barclay Intermediate US Treasury index return of 5.22%, and the Lipper US Government mutual fund index return of 5.90%. 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 1.58%, 0.68%, and 0.39% for the Fund, compared to returns of 2.57%, 1.99%, and 2.45% for the Bloomberg Barclay Intermediate Treasury index, and returns of 2.88%, 2.08% and 2.98% 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.

Repo Man Reinvigorated
It is clear that the once reluctant “Repo Man” Jerome Powell has been reinvigorated in his support for the markets. There is nothing like a near-bear market and a liquidity crisis to focus ones attention. The Fed went to great lengths over year-end to avert the liquidity crisis and hopefully gathered intelligence allowing them to anticipate similar problems in the future. It seems apparent, as well, that Fed has a higher sensitivity to risks in the markets and will continue to use the tools at its disposal to avoid market disruptions.
Around the same time that the banking system experienced its liquidity issues the stock market experienced an observable shift away from growth and momentum stocks to shares with more conservative valuation metrics. This shift could mark the reversal of a trend that has dominated market activity since 2009. Our investment approach has always started with a search for companies that have strong earnings, the capability to grow, and a solid balance sheet to support that growth. Our objective is to invest in companies whose share price is attractive based on those fundamentals. It has been our guiding principal for almost three decades and could benefit from both the market shift to valuations and the support of Jerome “Repo Man” Powell.
Sincerely,
Daniel A. Morris

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
DECEMBER 31, 2019
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 make no provision for federal income or excise tax. The Funds intend to qualify each year as “regulated investment companies” (“RIC”) under subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, by complying with the requirements applicable to RICs and by distributing substantially all of their taxable income. 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. If the required amount of net investment income or gains is not distributed, the Funds could incur a tax expense. 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 (2016-2019) or expected to be taken in the Funds’ 2019 tax returns. The Funds identify their major tax jurisdiction as U.S. Federal, however 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 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 year ended December 31, 2019, the Funds did not incur any interest or penalties.

MANOR INVESTMENT FUNDS
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
DECEMBER 31, 2019
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.
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 in active markets, interest rates, implied volatilities, credit spreads, yield curves, and market-collaborated inputs.
27
MANOR INVESTMENT FUNDS
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
DECEMBER 31, 2019
·
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 at measurement date, and that would be based on the best information available.
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, exchange traded funds, 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 Funds’ maximum exposure under these contracts is unknown as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Funds that have not yet occurred. The Funds expect the risk of loss to be remote.
7. NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
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, 2019, the related statements of operations for the year then ended, the statements of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the “financial statements”) and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the 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, 2019, 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, 2019, 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.

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, 2019 through December 31, 2019.
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.
