Chairman’s Letter to the Shareholders |
Dear Fellow Shareholder:
Two Thousand and Five, so far, has been a mixed bag for stock and bond investors. Economic output in the U.S. has continued to signal strong, steady growth. The stock market however, has disappointed index investors this year as the S&P 500 has delivered a negative return of almost (1%). Bond investors however, have benefited from exposure to quality fixed income securities, as the Lehman Brothers Intermediate Aggregate Index is a positive 1.84% year to date. All this with $60 oil and continued Fed tightening. While economic growth may slow in the second half of the year due to these headwinds, a steady U.S. economy and a relatively low interest rate environment should provide a positive backdrop to the capital markets.
Despite negative returns for the broad market, actively managed portfolios have done well this year and Quaker Funds investors have been rewarded for their choices. Quaker Strategic Growth, Small-Cap Growth, Capital Opportunities, Small-Cap Trend, Small-Cap Value, and Geewax Terker Core Value Funds all provided positive returns through June in an otherwise challenging equity market.
In mid-May of 2005, we welcomed a new sub-adviser to the Quaker Funds family. Global Capital Management, Inc. (GCM) took over Quaker Mid-Cap Value Fund from Schneider Capital Management Company, who resigned as the Fund’s sub-adviser. Founded in 1997, GCM is a 100% employee owned firm that specializes in small and mid-cap stocks and is based in Conshohocken, PA.
| |
| Our success at the Quaker Funds is dependent on many factors: our money managers, the financial advisors who recommend our funds and our clients. From January 1 through June 30, 2005, client assets have grown from $683 million under management to $830 million, a 21.5% increase. We thank you for placing your trust in us. With that trust, we will continue to seek out the best institutional, entrepreneurial asset managers in the industry. |

| Sincerely, |

For the fiscal year ending June 30, 2005, the S&P 500® Total Return Index (“S&P 500”) (a broad based market proxy) generated a 6.32% return. For the seventh consecutive year in a row, Class A shares* of Quaker Strategic Growth Fund outperformed the S&P 500 with a total return of 13.36%. The biggest contribution to the outperformance of the Fund was provided by healthcare, followed by telecom and energy. | |
|
From a sector perspective, we continue to overweight the energy and healthcare sectors in the Fund. Record energy prices were continually in the headlines over the last year, with crude oil prices hitting a record high of $60/barrel in June. While recent price spikes have had more to do with tight refining capacity (heating oil recently hit a new high in the middle of the summer) than supply issues, the increase in demand of the marginal buyers (China and India) continues to be strong. The lack of drilling capacity build-out in the last decade continues to favor drilling companies who are renewing contracts on very favorable terms (which has generated good earnings visibility for several quarters and in some cases doubled year-over-year earnings-per-share numbers). In the production area, companies also have rising dividend yields and excellent cash flow prospects. In healthcare, we like the HMO companies due to the rapidly expanding health savings accounts and high deductible programs and also like the hospitals due to their improved balance sheets and good cash flow. | |
|
Technology, which has traditionally been a “must own” in the 3rd and 4th quarters, still looks weak — though if fundamentals improve we will likely increase our allocation. We will keep a close eye on upcoming Fed language. Although it is very hard to make macro calls, if the Federal Reserve rate hikes are near an end, the financial sector (currently the biggest sector in the S&P 500) may rally. | |
Our focus continues to be to improve our stock selection in the Fund and to reduce the downside volatility of our portfolio positions. We believe that our multi-cap opportunistic mandate will serve us well as we move forward into the second half of the year which, for us, has always been more interesting than the first half.

Over the previous 12 months (ended June 30, 2005), Class A shares* of the Fund returned 1.23% versus the Russell 1000 Growth Index of 1.68%. The overall market (S&P 500 Index) returned 6.32% as value stocks continued to outperform growth stocks. Large capitalization stocks outperformed their small capitalization peers as small growth stocks (Russell 2000 Growth Index) returned 4.29% during this time period. | |
|
Given an environment characterized by rising interest rates and market valuations that are “fair,” we will be positioning the portfolio for this environment by emphasizing sales growth, lower volatility, growth-at-a-reasonable-price, and shareholder friendly management. That means we will be overweighting the Consumer sectors, the Financial sector, the Industrial sector and the Energy sector. We will be underweight in the Healthcare and the Technology sector. The former is due to our belief that the Pharmaceutical Industry is still years away from a good earnings cycle. The latter is due to our belief that better values reside for investment spending in the Capital Equipment area, as well as Technology being the most volatile sector right now. | |
The market continues to punish “bad news” companies, and so the investment environment going forward should be rewarding for our style of management. We can still find attractive growth opportunities out there, and find individual growth stocks within each sector that are growing faster than the sector itself. Overall, we expect the Fund to have a lower P/ E than the growth market, and a higher quality of earnings. This is not the time to move out on the risk scale. The Fund will be “steady as she goes.”

| |
The 12 months ended June 30, 2005 have been very good for the Fund, as performance for Class A shares* outpaced the small capitalization growth index (Russell 2000 Growth) 10.85% versus 4.29%. The Fund also outperformed the S&P 500 Index which returned 6.32% during this time period. This outperformance was due to the Fund having companies with good internal growth (higher return on equity), cheaper valuation and higher forecasted short term earnings growth than the small growth market. We decided to forego the higher long term growth companies — with the belief that these long term growth rates would be coming down. With hindsight, we were right on target. | |
|
But that was last year. Going forward, we believe higher long-term growth companies will start to drift into the Fund’s portfolio for one reason — they are reasonably valued and the marketplace should start rewarding high growth (with reasonable multiples) as interest rates move up. Likewise, more volatile stocks could drift somewhat into the Fund’s portfolio for the same reasons. However, our main emphasis will continue to be high quality earnings, reasonable valuation, and reasonable certainty about current earnings trends. Sector-wise, this means a continuation of our overweight in Consumers, Energy, Financials and Industrials. Healthcare and Technology will continue to be underweight, as we will continue to avoid the highly speculative parts of the market. With interest rates rising, we feel it much more prudent to have a portfolio of quality growth-at-a-reasonable-price, and to avoid stocks that could disappoint investors due to the huge uncertainty surrounding their fundamentals. | |
|
Market capitalization of the Fund’s holdings will be slightly larger than the index, as we want to have companies that have lower costs of capital in the current index. Micro-cap stocks will be barely represented in the Fund’s portfolio. We have confidence that the valuation and quality biases that we have implemented and will continue to implement going forward will once again seek to outperform the market. | |

In the 12 months ending June 30, 2005, Class A shares* of the Fund significantly out-performed the S&P 500, 9.66% vs. 6.32%, led by overweighted positions in the energy and health care sectors. Returns were also bolstered by an underweighted position in technology stocks. The above themes have been a consistent and well documented part of our strategy for many years. This has led the Fund to outperform the S&P 500, 10.39% vs. 8.27% annualized in the three years ending June 30. | |
|
During the past six months, the economy, interest-rate trends and stock prices have closely followed our 2005 forecast. The Fed’s recent hike in interest rates indicated they may be willing to take the Fed Fund’s level to 4% or more. When combined with a gradual global economic slowdown, whose epicenter is in Europe, you have the ingredients for more than just a soft patch or bump in the road. The ECB, Europe’s equivalent of our Federal Reserve has not yet reacted to the slowdown in Europe’s GDP. (We think they will be forced to soon.) We think Greenspan’s “damn the torpedoes, full speed ahead” attitude is certainly not bolstering the market’s confidence. Recently, our Dollar has gained strength as investors everywhere seek higher yielding bonds whose quality and liquidity are unquestioned. Today’s low savings rate, high oil prices, big twin deficits and small job creation does little to help matters. Yet, mortgage rates and bond yields are low, inflation fairly tame and earnings levels near records. Cash dividends are increasing and mergers and acquisitions are almost a constant part of life in Corporate America. (For a more detailed analysis of our current outlook please see our Monthly Commentary available at www.knottcapital.com). | |
|
While there are and will always be long-term structural issues and challenges, the stock market should remain in its seesaw trading range. Investors should have neither a highly optimistic nor a desperately pessimistic viewpoint. With these hurdles interacting with a global slowdown, our risk-averse and conservative nature forces us to maintain a predominantly defensive investment stance. Our sector and security selection have reflected this more defensive posture. We are always mindful of our first priority: the preservation of your capital. A disciplined approach to investing and portfolio management has been recognized as the only proven means to superior long-term results. | |

Quaker Biotech Pharma-Healthcare Fund (QBPAX, QBPBX, CBPCX)
| |
During the 12 months ending June 30, 2005, the Class A shares* returned -3.22% while the Nasdaq Biotech Index fell by -9.08%. The Fund had two-thirds the volatility of the index. Investments in mid-cap biotechnology companies — generally in late clinical development or early product marketing — contributed positively. Selective tactical investments in specialty pharmaceutical and generic pharmaceutical companies also contributed positively. | |
|
Over this period, the biotech industry delivered significant product approvals and clinical progress, positive developments which were intermittently overshadowed by regulatory worries. Investor concerns about regulatory tightening at the FDA — larger clinical requirements and greater safety hurdles — resulted from high profile product withdrawals (Merck’s Vioxx, Biogen-Idec’s Tysabri). After President Bush’s re-election, the inability to obtain Senate confirmation for his FDA Commissioner nominee also weighed on sentiment. Despite these concerns, progress has been generally positive. Significant FDA drug approvals again demonstrated the industry’s capacity to create innovative and clinical meaningful compounds for diseases of high unmet medical need. Clinical development was also generally positive — particularly in cancer, hepatitis C, and rare genetic diseases. Currently we find valuations attractive on both historic grounds and on a forward-looking growth basis, particular following the premiums pharmaceuticals companies have recently paid to acquire biotech companies. | |

During the fiscal year ended June 30, 2005, the Class A shares* experienced a positive return of 9.28% while the Russell 2000 and Russell 2000 Growth Indices rose by 9.45% percent and 4.29% percent, respectively. Our investments in the healthcare sector have had the most positive impact on the portfolio during our fiscal year. Three of our healthcare holdings received buyout offers during the year, suggesting to us that valuations, as seen by companies operating within the healthcare industry, appear to be attractive. | |
|
We remained concerned about a number of risks associated with the market, including; terrorism, rising interest rates, an expected revaluation of the Chinese Yuan, and a growing tone of protectionism emanating from Washington. However, we believe that the small cap sector offers some protection from many of the direct impact of these risks. For example, our analysis of the historical impact of rising interest rates and inflation on equities shows a positive bias in favor of small cap stocks over large caps. | |
|
Finally, we continue to focus on identifying long-term industry and economic trends that should drive above average growth for companies. We expect that our strategy will continue to focus us in specific areas, primarily the healthcare, technology, consumer and financial sectors, where we believe long-term growth is more likely and more sustainable. | |

Quaker Mid-Cap Value Fund (QMCVX, QMCBX, QMCCX, QMVIX)
| |
For the fiscal year ending June 30, 2005, Class A shares* of the Fund underperformed the Russell Mid-Cap Value Index 12.57% versus 21.08%. The first half of 2005 had a noteworthy ending as the Federal Reserve lifted the Fed Funds rate from 3.00% to 3.25%. This move represented their ninth rate hike since June 2004. In their comments corresponding with the tightening, the Fed remains convinced that short-term inflation risks outweigh the likelihood of economic weakness. Sympathetically, the White House economic team believes that the economy should expand 3.4% this year with continued job growth despite the Fed’s continued tightening and oil prices reaching $60/barrel. | |
|
Stocks rebounded in May and June from a poor start through April. For the quarter, mid-cap stocks as represented by the Russell Midcap Index gained 4.18 % while the S&P 500 returned 0.91%. Mid-caps have represented the sweet spot of the market posting positive returns through June 30, 2005, while large and small company stocks have slight negative returns for the first half of 2005 impacted from rising short rates and oil prices more than offset earnings and economic advances. | |
|
Where do we go from here? High quality, mid-cap stocks are undervalued and large-cap high quality stocks are extremely undervalued. Increases in short term interest rates, energy prices and the dollar may suppress earnings gains and somewhat restrict the normal price/ earnings expansion associated with an advancing equity market. | |
|
In retrospect, in March of 2000, the S&P 500 achieved a high of 1530.09. At the end of June 2005 this same index closed at 1191.33. During this span, the Russell Midcap Value Index has rallied from 475 to 905, a return of nearly 100%. The leaders have been obvious; oil (along with commodity driven stocks), housing stocks and financials. In the past twelve months alone, the price of a barrel of oil has risen almost 40%. The rally started off quite broad, but has been narrowing. Energy stocks are still this year’s biggest gainers, with housing stocks a close second, but the remainder of the field is fading. Of the stragglers, technology, auto parts and media are underperforming. But the bigger theme is quality. Many of the stragglers are laden with heavy debt loads. The refinancing window is getting smaller and smaller leaving these companies to deal with their financially mis-engineered balance sheets. | |
|
Going forward, a window of opportunity is closing. Poor quality companies cannot rebuild their balance sheets without diluting their equity shareholders. Stocks are nearing full valuation after a strong 5-year run. This will favor an investment manager who selects a concentrated portfolio of undervalued, high quality companies with improving earnings prospects. | |

The Quaker Small-Cap Value Fund had a good year. For the fiscal year ending June 30, 2005, Class A shares* of the Fund were up 12.17% while the Fund’s benchmark, the Russell 2000 Index (a broad-based cross-section of the entire U.S. small-cap market) returned 9.45%. While we can’t guarantee such performance every year, our track record shows that we have been able to achieve it over the long run. | |
|
What we can guarantee is an investment strategy that is value oriented and disciplined. AJO maintains a fully invested, diversified portfolio of attractive small-cap stocks. The economic outlook—ours or anyone else’s—plays no role in the Fund’s structure; instead, our work seeks well-managed companies with quality cash profits, relatively low market valuations, and positive price and earnings momentum. As we search for opportunities, we keep a keen eye on minimizing transaction costs, enabling us to realize the profits from superior stock selection. | |

| |
For the fiscal year ended June 30, 2005, Class A shares* of the Fund underperformed the Russell 1000 Value Index 11.60% versus 14.06%. Relative to Value stocks, our underperformance was due to higher yielding stocks doing extremely well. Looking at our current portfolio and the current market environment, we are very confident that emphasizing low price/earnings and earnings growth will be the right place to be as interest rates rise. Companies that have high yields, but very little room to grow their dividends will be at a tremendous disadvantage in the rising interest rate environment. | |
|
We are underweight in Financials and Utilities, and overweight in Consumers and Industrials. I do not expect this to change. Utilities are the most expensive sector in the market — closely followed by REIT’s. The banking segment looks somewhat cheap, but the risks in their underlying earnings with rising rates and an inverted yield curve potential make the group seem like a group that is going to get cheaper! We would prefer to have decent top line growth and get it at a discount to the marketplace. We will not have the lowest price/earnings ratio (P/E) or price-to-book ratio in the marketplace. However, we expect to have a higher growth rate than our value competitors and our P/ E will be less than the market. | |
|
On a capitalization scale, we will be all over the map! Look for your portfolio to have large and small companies in it. The latter will give you a lot of growth for the price. The large companies will be cheap and have the least amount of risk. Together, you will have, we feel, an all weather portfolio to beat both Value and the overall market indicies. Individual stock selection will be even more important in the near future, rather than sector selection. In this slow growth scenario we are facing, the better companies will grow at the pace of GDP and a little faster as they take market share away from their competition. This latter point will be key in our security selection in the near future. | |

During the period ending June 30, 2005, the Class A shares* experienced a positive return of 5.39% while the return for the Lehman Brothers Intermediate Aggregate Index was 5.40%. Over the past 12 months, the fixed income performance primarily benefited from several core positioning strategies: | |
| | | |
| 1. | Overweighting Mortgage-Backed Securities (MBS) versus the index and selected securities with extension protection. Over the past twelve months, the MBS sector outperformed all other sectors of the Lehman Brothers Intermediate Aggregate Index. | |
|
| 2. | Increasing quality in the corporate sector of the portfolios, avoiding the BBB sector that has been hit hardest by the negative news of Ford and General Motors. | |
|
| 3. | Utilizing a barbell strategy (short and long securities) for the Treasury sector of the market. This strategy outperformed a bullet or laddering strategy due to further flattening of the yield curve. | |

In ACM’s 2005 forecast piece, we developed several bullet points that summarize our market outlook for the year ahead. So far the market is on pace with most of these forecasts and we will continue to monitor and adjust the fund’s target asset allocation based on changes in our core forecasts. We continue to believe these forecasts are appropriate through the end of the year and include them for review purposes. | |
| | | |
| • | The Fed will continue its current policy of “measured” rate increases during the first half of the year. | |
|
| • | Economic growth will average 3.5% to 4.0%. | |
|
| • | Inflationary pressures will rise moderately. | |
|
| • | The 10- year treasury will end the year in the 4.75% to 5.0% range. | |
|
| • | The short-end of the treasury curve will come under more pressure with the 2- year treasury rising 75 to 100 basis points. | |
|
| • | Accordingly, the yield curve will continue to flatten. | |
|
| • | MBS products will widen slightly and will outperform corporate debt obligations. | |
|
| • | High grade securities will outperform lower grade securities particularly in the second half of the year. | |
|
| • | There will be some nominal improvement in both the current account and budget deficits. | |
| |
On the investment front, we will continue to position the fixed income fund with a slightly bearish slant, focusing on income and yield advantages vs. the stated benchmark and over-weighting asset classes that typically outperform in stable to rising interest rate environments (e.g. mortgage-backed securities and high premium callable agencies). With the recent flattening of the yield curve in the taxable fixed income market, we will begin to methodically unwind our barbell strategy when we feel either the Fed is poised to stop raising interest rates or we believe inflation is becoming a threat to the long end of the yield curve. | |

** | The Benchmark since inception returns are calculated since commencement of November 25, 1996 through June 30, 2003 | |
Past performance is no guarantee of future results and investment results and principal value will fluctuate so that shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Total return includes reinvestment of dividends and capital gains.
The line graph and performance table do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on fund distributions or the redemption of fund shares. Total return calculations reflect expense reimbursements and fee waivers in the applicable periods. See financial highlights for periods where fees were waived or reimbursed.
The Fund’s portfolio holdings may differ significantly from the securities held in the index and, unlike a mutual fund, an unmanaged index assumes no transaction costs, taxes, management fees or other expenses.
The Lehman Brothers Intermediate Aggregate Index a comprehensive benchmark that measures the performance of intermediate maturity range (from 1 year up to, but not including, 10 years) of U.S. domestic, taxable, investment grade fixed rate government and corporate securities, mortgage pass-through securities, and asset-backed securities.
2005 ANNUAL REPORT 21
As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including applicable sales charges and redemption fees; and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees, distribution (12b-1) fees and other Fund expenses. This example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other funds. The Example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the (six-month) period and held for the entire period from January 1, 2005 through June 30, 2005.
Actual Expenses
The first section of each table below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses for each of the Funds. You may use this information, 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 applicable 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 section of each table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the 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 the Fund to 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. Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs, such as sales charges (loads), redemption fees or exchange fees. Therefore, the second section 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 transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

2005 ANNUAL REPORT 83
Notes to the Financial Statements |
Note 1 — Organization
The Quaker Investment Trust (the “Trust”), a diversified, open-end management investment company, was organized as a Massachusetts Business Trust on October 24, 1990, and is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended as an open-end management investment company. The Trust’s amended and restated Agreement and Declaration of Trust permits the Trustees to issue an unlimited number of shares of beneficial interest. The Trust has established the following ten series: Quaker Core Equity Fund, Quaker Strategic Growth Fund, Quaker Mid-Cap Value Fund, Quaker Small-Cap Value Fund, Quaker Small-Cap Growth Fund, Quaker Fixed Income Fund, Quaker Biotech Pharma-Healthcare Fund, Quaker Capital Opportunities Fund, Geewax Terker Core Value Fund, and Quaker Small-Cap Trend Fund (each a “Fund” and collectively, the “Funds”). The Investment objectives of each Fund are set forth below.
Quaker Core Equity Fund (“Core Equity”), Quaker Strategic Growth Fund (“Strategic Growth”), and Quaker Small-Cap Value Fund (“Small-Cap Value”) all commenced operations on November 25, 1996. Quaker Mid-Cap Value Fund (Mid-Cap Value”) commenced operations on December 31, 1997. Quaker Small-Cap Growth Fund (“Small-Cap Growth”) commenced operations on September 18, 2000. The investment objective of these Funds is to provide shareholders with long-term capital growth by investing primarily in equity securities of domestic U.S. companies.
Quaker Fixed Income Fund (“Fixed Income”) commenced operations on November 25, 1996. The investment objective of Fixed Income is to generate current income, preserve capital and maximize total returns through active management of investment grade fixed income securities.
Quaker Capital Opportunities Fund (“Capital Opportunities”) commenced operations on January 31, 2002. The investment objective of Capital Opportunities is to build shareholder wealth through the achievement of long-term capital growth.
Geewax Terker Core Value Fund (“Core Value”) commenced operations on March 26, 2002. Core Value seeks to achieve long capital appreciation through the prudent investment of securities issued by companies considered by the sub-adviser to be “value” oriented companies.
Quaker Biotech Pharma-Healthcare Fund (“Biotech”) commenced operations on September 23, 2002. The investment objective of Biotech is to build shareholder wealth through long-term capital appreciation.
Quaker Small-Cap Trend Fund (“Small-Cap Trend”) commenced operations on February 17, 2004. The investment objective of Small-Cap Trend is to build shareholder wealth through long-term capital growth.
Core Equity, Strategic Growth, Small-Cap Value, Mid-Cap Value, Small-Cap Growth and Fixed Income offer four classes of shares (Class A, Class B, Class C and Institutional shares). Class A shares are charged a front-end sales charge and a distribution and servicing fee; Class B shares bear a contingent deferred sales charge (“CDSC”) that declines to zero over an average of seven years coupled with additional distribution and servicing fees; Class C shares bear an additional distribution and servicing fee and a CDSC of 1% for a period of thirteen months; and Institutional Class shares bear no front-end sales charges or CDSC’s, but higher minimum investment limitations.
Capital Opportunities, Biotech, and Core Value offer Class A, Class B and Class C shares. Small-Cap Trend offers Class A, Class C and Institutional shares.
Note 2 — Summary of Significant Accounting Policies and Other Information
The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently followed by the Funds in the preparation of its financial statements. The policies are in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for investment companies.
A. Security Valuation. The Funds’ investments in securities are carried at market value. Securities listed on an exchange or quoted on a national market system are generally valued at the last quoted sales price at the time of valuation. Other securities traded in the over-the-counter market and listed securities for which no sale was reported on that date are valued at the most recent bid price. Each security reported on the Nasdaq National Market System is valued at the Nasdaq Official Closing Price.
The Funds have adopted fair valuation procedures to value securities at fair market value in certain circumstances and has established a Valuation Committee responsible for determining when fair valuing a security is necessary and appropriate. The Funds will value securities at fair market value when market quotations are not readily available or when securities can not be accurately valued within established pricing procedures. The Valuation Committee may also fair value foreign securities whose prices may have been affected by events occurring after the close of trading in their respective markets but prior to the time the Fund holding the foreign securities calculates its net asset value. The Funds’ fair valuation procedures are designed to help ensure that prices at which Fund shares are purchased and redeemed are fair and do not result in dilution of shareholder interest or other harm to shareholders.
Short-term investments are valued at amortized cost, which approximates fair market value.
84 2005 ANNUAL REPORT
Note 2 — Summary of Significant Accounting Policies and Other Information (Continued)
B. Federal Income Taxes. It is the Funds’ policy to comply with the requirements of the Internal Revenue Code applicable to regulated investment companies and to distribute all of their taxable income to shareholders. Therefore, no federal income tax provision is required.
Net investment income (loss) and net realized gains (losses) may differ for financial statement and income tax purposes primarily due to investments which have a different basis for financial statement and income tax purposes. The character of distributions made during the year from net investment income or net realized gains may differ from their ultimate characterization for federal income tax purposes. Also, due to the timing of dividend distributions, the fiscal year in which amounts are distributed may differ from the year that the income or realized gains were recorded by each Fund. Temporary differences that result in over-distribution for financial statement purposes are classified as distributions in excess of net investment income or accumulated net realized gains. Permanent differences in the recognition of earnings are reclassified to additional paid-in capital. Distributions in excess of tax-basis earnings are recorded as a return of capital.
C. Security Transactions and Investment Income. Security transactions are recorded on the trade date. Realized gains and losses are determined using the specific identification cost method. Interest income on debt securities is recorded daily on the accrual basis. Discounts and premiums on debt securities are amortized over their respective lives. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date, or as soon as information is available to the Fund.
Strategic Growth and Biotech make short sales of investments, which are transactions in which the Fund sells a security it does not own in anticipation of a decline in the fair value of that security. To complete such a transaction, the Fund must borrow the security to make delivery to the buyer. The Fund is then obligated to replace the security borrowed by purchasing it at the market price at the time of replacement. The broker retains the proceeds of short sales to the extent necessary to meet margin requirements until the short position is closed out.
D. Option Writing. Strategic Growth, Capital Opportunities, and Biotech may write options. When the Fund writes an option, an amount equal to the premium received by the Fund is recorded as a liability and is subsequently adjusted to the current fair value of the option written. Premiums received from writing options that expire unexercised are treated by the Fund on the expiration date as realized gains from investments. The difference between the premium and the amount paid on effecting a closing purchase transaction, including brokerage commissions, is also treated as a realized gain, or, if the premium is less than the amount paid for the closing purchase transaction, as a realized loss. If a call option is exercised, the premium is added to the proceeds from the sale of the underlying security or currency in determining whether the Fund has realized a gain or loss. If a put option is exercised, the premium reduces the cost basis of the securities purchased by the Fund. The Fund as writer of an option bears the market risk of an unfavorable change in the price of the security underlying the written option.
E. Foreign Currency Transaction. Securities and other assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are converted each business day into U.S. dollars based on the prevailing rates of exchange. Purchases and sales of portfolio securities and income and expenses are converted into U.S. dollars on the respective dates of such transactions.
Gains and losses resulting from changes in exchange rates applicable to foreign securities are not reported separately from gains and losses arising from movements in securities prices.
Net realized foreign exchange gains and losses include gains and losses from sales and maturities of foreign currency exchange contracts, gains and losses realized between the trade and settlement dates of foreign securities transactions, and the difference between the amount of dividends, interest and foreign withholding taxes on the fund’s books and the U.S. dollar equivalent of the amounts actually received. Net unrealized foreign exchange gains and losses include gains and losses from changes in the fair value of assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies other than portfolio securities, resulting from changes in exchange rates.
F. Multiple Class Allocations. Each class of shares has equal rights as to earnings and assets except that each class bears different distribution and shareholder servicing expenses. Each class of shares has exclusive voting rights with respects to matters that affect just that class. Income, expenses (other than expenses attributable to a specific class), and realized and unrealized gains or losses on investments are allocated to each class of shares based on its relative net assets.
G. Distributions to Shareholders. Except for Fixed Income, which declares dividends monthly, each Fund generally declares dividends annually, payable in December, on a date selected by the Trust’s Board of Trustees. In addition, distributions may be made annually in December out of net realized gains through October 31 of that calendar year. Distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Each Fund may make a supplemental distribution subsequent to the end of its fiscal year ending June 30.
H. Use of Estimates. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of
2005 ANNUAL REPORT 85

contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Prior to May 3, 2005, Capital Opportunities paid (i) an advisory fee equal to 0.30% annualized, of the Fund’s average daily net assets, and (ii) a subadvisory fee that consisted of two components. The first component of the subadvisory fee was a base fee equal to 0.75% annualized, of the Fund’s daily net assets, averaged over the preceding 12-month rolling period. The second component was a performance adjustment that either increased or decreased the base fee, depending on how the Fund had performed relative to its benchmark, the S&P 500® Index (“S&P Index”). Based on the Fund’s investment performance compared to the S&P Index for the preceding 12-month period, the Fund’s subadvisory base fee would increase to as high as 1.25% or decrease to as low as 0.3416% of the Fund’s daily net assets, averaged over the preceding 12-month rolling period. However, effective May 3, 2005, the Fund replaced the performance-based subadvisory

Note 3 — Investment Advisory Fee and Other Related Party Transactions (Continued)
fee rate with a fixed annual fee rate after the new subadvisory fee structure was approved by the Fund’s shareholders. Under the current advisory fee structure, the Capital Opportunities pays QFI a total advisory and subadvisory fees of 1.05% (0.30% to QFI and 0.75% to the sub-adviser) annualized, of the Fund’s average daily net assets.
Similarly, prior to May 3, 2005, Small-Cap Value paid (i) an advisory fee equal to 0.30% annualized, of the Fund’s average daily net assets, and (ii) a subadvisory fee that consisted of two components. The first component of the subadvisory fee was a base fee equal to 0.90% annualized, of the Fund’s daily net assets averaged over the preceding 12-month rolling period. The second component was a performance adjustment that either increased or decreased the base fee, depending on how the Fund had performed relative to its benchmark, the Russell 2000® Index (“Russell Index”). Based on the Fund’s investment performance compared to the Russell Index for the preceding 12-month period, the Fund’s subadvisory base fee would increase to as high as 1.50% or decrease to as low as 0.30% of the Fund’s daily net assets, averaged over the preceding 12-month rolling period. However, effective May 3, 2005, the Fund replaced the performance-based subadvisory fee rate with a fixed annual fee rate after the new subadvisory fee structure was approved by the Fund’s shareholders. Under the current advisory fee structure, Small-Cap Value pays QFI a total advisory and subadvisory fees of 1.20% (0.30% to QFI and 0.90% to the sub-adviser) annualized, of the Fund’s average daily net assets. The sub-adviser to Small-Cap Value has voluntarily agreed to charge Small-Cap Value a subadvisory fee rate of 0.85% on the first $25 million of assets of the Fund and 0.80% on all amounts in excess of $25 million, in accordance with the sub-adviser’s “most favored nation” policy that provides for a subadvisory fee based upon a rate no greater than the lowest rate offered by the sub-adviser to another client with a similar investment objective. However, in the event that the investment advisory services provided to that client is terminated, the subadvisory fee rates offered to Small-Cap Value would revert to the contractual fee rate of 0.90% per annum.
QFI voluntarily agreed to waive its management fee to the extent that the total operating expenses of Small-Cap Value (exclusive of interest, taxes, brokerage commissions and other costs incurred in connection with the purchase or sale of portfolio securities, and extraordinary items) exceed the annual rate of 2.60% for Class A, 3.35% for Classes B and C, and 2.35% for Class I of the average net assets of each class, respectively. QFI currently has no intention to terminate this arrangement, however, it may do so at any time in its sole discretion. Since Small-Cap Trend’s inception through October 28, 2004, QFI voluntarily agreed to waive its management fee to the extent that the total operating expenses of the Fund (exclusive of interest, taxes, brokerage commissions and other costs incurred in connection with the purchase or sale of portfolio securities, and extraordinary items) exceed the annual rate of 2.05% for Class A, 2.80% for Classes C, and 1.80% for Class I of the average net assets of each class, respectively. Effective October 28, 2004, QFI voluntarily agreed to waive its management fee to the extent that the total operating expenses of Small-Cap Trend (exclusive of interest, taxes, brokerage commissions and other costs incurred in connection with the purchase or sale of portfolio securities, and extraordinary items) exceed the annual rate of 2.15% for Class A, 2.90% for Classes C, and 1.90% for Class I of the average net assets of each class, respectively. QFI currently has no intention to terminate this arrangement, however, it may do so at any time in its sole discretion.

As compensation for its services, the Administrator will receive a fee at the annual rate of 0.35% of the aggregate of the Trust’s first $200 million of average daily net assets, 0.175% of the next $300 million of average daily net assets, and 0.15% of the net assets in excess of $500 million. Effective July 1, 2005, as compensation for its services, the Administrator receives a fee at the annual rate of 0.35% of the aggregate of the Trust’s first $200 million of average daily net assets, 0.175% of the next $300 million of average daily net assets, and 0.10% of the net assets in excess of $500 million.

The undistributed ordinary income, capital gains and carryforward losses shown above differ from the corresponding accumulated net investment income and accumulated net realized gain (loss) figures reported in the statements of assets and liabilities due to differing book/tax treatment of short-term capital gains, pay-down gains and losses, and certain temporary book/tax differences such as the deferral of realized losses on wash sales and net losses realized after October 31st.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm |
To the Shareholders and Board of Trustees of
The Quaker Investment Trust
Malvern, Pennsylvania
We have audited the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities, including the schedules of investments, of the Quaker Strategic Growth Fund, Quaker Core Equity Fund, Quaker Small-Cap Growth Fund, Quaker Capital Opportunities Fund, Quaker Biotech Pharma-Healthcare Fund, Quaker Small-Cap Trend Fund, Quaker Mid-Cap Value Fund, Quaker Small-Cap Value Fund, Gewax Terker Core Value Fund, and Quaker Fixed Income Fund, each a series of shares of beneficial interest of the Quaker Investment Trust, as of June 30, 2005, and the related statements of operations for the year then ended, the statements of changes in net assets for each of the years or period in the two-year period then ended, and the financial highlights for each of the years or periods indicated therein. 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 conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). 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. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of June 30, 2005, by correspondence with the custodian and brokers or by other appropriate auditing procedures where replies from brokers were not received. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Quaker Strategic Growth Fund, Quaker Core Equity Fund, Quaker Small-Cap Growth Fund, Quaker Capital Opportunities Fund, Quaker Biotech Pharma-Healthcare Fund, Quaker Small-Cap Trend Fund, Quaker Mid-Cap Value Fund, Quaker Small-Cap Value Fund, Gewax Terker Core Value Fund, and Quaker Fixed Income Fund, as of June 30, 2005, the results of their operations for the year then ended, the changes in their net assets for each of the years or period in the two-year period then ended, and their financial highlights for each of the years or periods indicated therein, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

2005 ANNUAL REPORT 97
Approval of Advisory Agreement |
Board of Trustees’ Consideration in Approving New Advisory Agreement and New Subadvisory Agreements for the Funds
Prior to the close of business on January 14, 2005, QFI was owned 50% by Mr. Kevin Mailey (“Mailey”), and owned 25% each by Mr. Jeffry H. King, Sr. and Ms. Laurie Keyes (collectively, “King/ Keyes”). After the close of business on January 14, 2005, King/ Keyes became the sole owners of QFI as a result of the acquisition by King/ Keyes of all of Mailey’s equity interests in QFI. Because King/ Keyes’ acquisition of all of Mailey’s equity interests in QFI resulted in a change of control of QFI (the “Change of Control”), the Trust’s previous investment advisory agreement with QFI and all the previous investment subadvisory agreements with the respective sub-advisers were “assigned,” as that term is defined by the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), and the previous investment advisory and subadvisory agreements therefore terminated upon the completion of the acquisition. At a board meeting held on January 14, 2005 (the “January 14 Board Meeting”), the Board of Trustees of the Trust approved an interim advisory agreement with QFI (the “Interim Advisory Agreement”), and interim subadvisory agreements with the previous subadvisers, respectively (collectively, the “Interim Subadvisory Agreements”), that were substantially identical to the previous advisory agreement with QFI and previous subadvisory agreements with the respective subadvisers.
At an in-person meeting held on February 10, 2005, the Board of Trustees of the Trust, including all of the independent trustees of the Trust, unanimously approved a new investment advisory agreement with QFI (the “New Advisory Agreement”) and new investment subadvisory agreements with each previous sub-adviser, except for Quaker Mid-Cap Value Fund, where the Board unanimously approved a new subadvisory agreement with a new sub-adviser, Global Capital Management, Inc. (“G.C.M.”) (collectively, the “New Subadvisory Agreements”). The Board of Trustees then called for a shareholders meeting to approve the New Advisory Agreement and the New Subadvisory Agreements, and to ratify the Interim Advisory Agreement and the Interim Subadvisory Agreements. At a shareholders meeting held on May 3, 2005, the shareholders of each Fund approved the New Advisory Agreement with QFI, and the New Subadvisory Agreements with the respective sub-advisers.
In approving the New Advisory Agreement and the New Subadvisory Agreements, the Board of Trustees considered the following factors. The independent trustees also discussed the approval of the New Advisory Agreement with independent counsel in a separate session.
Factors considered by the Board in Approving a New Advisory Agreement with QFI
In evaluating the New Advisory Agreement, the Board requested and received information from QFI to assist in its deliberations. Further, because Board approval of the New Advisory Agreement with QFI was made necessary at this time solely as a result of the Change of Control and the technical requirements of the 1940 Act, the Board gave substantial weight to its consideration made at a June 8, 2004 Board meeting in renewing the previous advisory agreement with QFI, when considering the approval of the New Advisory Agreement.
In addition, the Board considered a presentation made by Mr. King at the January 14 Board Meeting, and the written responses to a questionnaire that Mr. King had provided regarding the Change of Control transaction and the proposed business plans of QFI. The Board also considered the following factors in determining reasonableness and fairness of the New Advisory Agreement with QFI:
| | |
| • | The qualifications of QFI to provide a range of management and administrative services. The Board reviewed the credentials and experience of officers and employees of QFI who will provide investment advisory and other services to the Funds following the departures of Mr. Kevin Mailey and Ms. Barbara Mailey. Specifically, the Board noted the (i) extensive background and significant relevant sales and marketing experience of recently retained sales personnel and their ability to promote and grow the Funds; (ii) compliance personnel in their ability to provide compliance oversight and address compliance issues as they arise (including, the hiring of a paralegal with the relevant mutual fund industry compliance experience); and (iii) financial strength of the principals of QFI. |
|
| • | The range of advisory services provided by QFI. The Board reviewed the services to be provided by QFI under the New Advisory Agreement, and noted that the level and type of services that would be provided under the New Advisory Agreement would be identical to the management services that had been provided under the previous advisory agreement. |
98 2005 ANNUAL REPORT
| | |
| • | The performance record of the Funds. The Board reviewed each Fund’s performance record and noted that out of the nine Funds that had been in existence for a period of one-year or more, eight of the Funds had outperformed their respective benchmark indices for the past one-year period, while three out of five Funds had outperformed their respective benchmark indices for each of the one-year, three-year and five-year periods considered. In that regard, the Board determined that QFI has developed the expertise and resources for selecting and managing qualified sub-advisers to provide investment advisory services to the Funds, in accordance with each Fund’s investment objective and strategies. |
|
| • | Advisory fees and expenses. The Board examined the expense ratio and the level of advisory fees for each Fund under the New Advisory Agreement and noted that the advisory fees payable to QFI will remain unchanged from those paid by the Fund under the previous advisory agreement. In taking into account the overall strong performance of the Funds under QFI, the Board concluded that each Fund’s advisory fees under the New Advisory Agreement were fair and reasonable in light of the high quality management and administrative services that QFI would provide under the New Advisory Agreement. Because advisory fee information for investment companies with a “manager of managers” structure was not readily available, the Board did not consider the level of advisory fees for each Fund in comparison with other similar funds. |
|
| • | The profitability of QFI. The Board reviewed information concerning the profitability of QFI’s (and its affiliates’) investment advisory and other services and its financial condition. The Board noted that each Fund’s advisory fee would remain the same under the New Advisory Agreement, and that QFI intends to continue the fee waivers currently in effect under the previous advisory agreement. The Board also noted that QFI had only begun to be profitable in the past two years, and that QFI’s current level of profitability was fair and reasonable considering the quality of management and the overall strong performance of the Funds under QFI. |
After considering the above factors, the Board concluded that it is in the best interests of the Funds and their shareholders to approve the New Advisory Agreement between the Trust and QFI for the Funds.
Factors considered by the Board in Approving the New Subadvisory Agreements
In evaluating the approval of each New Subadvisory Agreement with the respective subadvisers, the Board requested and received information from QFI and each respective sub-adviser to assist in its deliberations. Further, because Board approval of the New Subadvisory Agreements were made necessary at this time solely as a result of the Change of Control and the technical requirements of the 1940 Act, the Board gave substantial weight to its consideration made at the June 8, 2004 Board meeting in renewing the previous subadvisory agreement with the previous sub-advisers (except for the new sub-adviser, G.C.M.), when considering the approval of the New Subadvisory Agreements.
Quaker Strategic Growth Fund
The Board also considered the following factors in determining reasonableness and fairness of the New Subadvisory Agreement between QFI and DG Capital Management, Inc. (“DGCM”), with respect to Quaker Strategic Growth Fund:
| | |
| • | The range of subadvisory services provided by DGCM. The Board reviewed the services to be provided by DGCM under the New Subadvisory Agreement, and noted that the level and type of investment subadvisory services under the New Subadvisory Agreement would be identical to those DGCM had provided under its previous subadvisory agreement. The Board also noted the strength of DGCM’s compliance program and its ability to provide compliance oversight, as well as the financial strength of DGCM. |
|
| • | The performance record of Quaker Strategic Growth Fund. The Board reviewed the performance record of Quaker Strategic Growth Fund and noted that the Fund had outperformed its respective benchmark index for each of the one-year, three-year, five-year and since-inception periods considered. The Board also noted the favorable industry reviews the Fund and its portfolio manager had received recently in the print media, and determined that DGCM would continue to provide a high level of subadvisory services to the Fund under the New Subadvisory Agreement. |
|
| • | Subadvisory fees and expenses. The Board gave substantial weight to the fact that the subadvisory fees charged by DGCM under the New Subadvisory Agreement is the same as that under the previous subadvisory agreement. Additionally, the Board ex- |

Approval of Advisory Agreement |
| | |
| | amined the expense ratio and the level of subadvisory fees for the Fund and noted that the expense ratio for the Fund was minimally higher than the average peer group expense ratio. However, in considering the strong performance of the Fund for the periods considered, the Board concluded that the Fund’s subadvisory fees under the New Subadvisory Agreement were fair and reasonable in light of the high quality of subadvisory services that the portfolio manager of DGCM would continue to provide under the New Subadvisory Agreement. |
After considering the above factors, the Board concluded that it is in the best interests of Quaker Strategic Growth Fund and its shareholders to approve the New Subadvisory Agreement between QFI and DGCM for the Fund.
Quaker Core Equity Fund
The Board also considered the following factors in determining the reasonableness and fairness of the New Subadvisory Agreement between QFI and Geewax, Terker & Co. (“GTC”), with respect to Quaker Core Equity Fund:
| | |
| • | The range of subadvisory services provided by GTC. The Board reviewed the services to be provided by GTC under the New Subadvisory Agreement, and noted that the level and type of investment subadvisory services under the New Subadvisory Agreement would be identical to those GTC had provided under its previous subadvisory agreement. The Board also noted the strength of GTC’s compliance program and its ability to provide compliance oversight, as well as the financial strength of GTC. |
|
| • | The performance record of Quaker Core Equity Fund. The Board reviewed the performance record of Quaker Core Equity Fund and noted that although the Fund’s performance lagged behind its respective benchmark index for the long-term periods, the Fund had recently shown stronger performance by outperforming its benchmark index for the one-year and three-year periods considered. Based on the recent strong performance by the Fund, the Board determined that GTC would continue to provide a high level of subadvisory services to the Fund under the New Subadvisory Agreement. |
|
| • | Subadvisory fees and expenses. The Board gave substantial weight to the fact that the subadvisory fees charged by GTC under the New Subadvisory Agreement is the same as that under the previous subadvisory agreement. Additionally, the Board examined the expense ratio and the level of subadvisory fees for the Fund and concluded that the Fund’s subadvisory fees under the New Subadvisory Agreement were fair and reasonable in light of the recent strong performance of the Fund and the high quality of subadvisory services that the portfolio manager of GTC would provide under the New Subadvisory Agreement. |
After considering the above factors, the Board concluded that it is in the best interests of Quaker Core Equity Fund and its shareholders to approve the New Subadvisory Agreement between QFI and GTC for the Fund.
Quaker Small-Cap Growth Fund
The Board also considered the following factors in determining reasonableness and fairness of the New Subadvisory Agreement between QFI and GTC, with respect to Quaker Small-Cap Growth Fund:
| | |
| • | The range of subadvisory services provided by GTC. The Board reviewed the services to be provided by GTC under the New Subadvisory Agreement, and noted that the level and type of investment subadvisory services under the New Subadvisory Agreement would be identical to those GTC had provided under its previous subadvisory agreement. The Board also noted the strength of GTC’s compliance program and its ability to provide compliance oversight, as well as the financial strength of GTC. |
|
| • | The performance record of Quaker Small-Cap Growth Fund. The Board reviewed the performance record of Quaker Small-Cap Growth Fund and noted that although the Fund’s performance lagged behind its respective benchmark index for the long-term periods, the Fund had recently shown stronger performance by outperforming its benchmark index for the past 12-month period considered. Based on the recent strong performance by the Fund, the Board determined that GTC would continue to provide a high level of subadvisory services to the Fund under the New Subadvisory Agreement. |
|
| • | Subadvisory fees and expenses. The Board gave substantial weight to the fact that the subadvisory fees charged by GTC under the New Subadvisory Agreement is the same as that under the previous subadvisory agreement. Additionally, the Board examined the expense ratio and the level of subadvisory fees for the Fund and concluded that the Fund’s subadvisory fees under the New Subadvisory Agree- |

| | |
| | ment were fair and reasonable in light of the recent strong performance of the Fund and the high quality of subadvisory services that the portfolio managers of GTC would provide under the New Subadvisory Agreement. |
After considering the above factors, the Board concluded that it is in the best interests of Quaker Small-Cap Growth Fund and its shareholders to approve the New Subadvisory Agreement between QFI and GTC for the Fund.
Quaker Capital Opportunities Fund
The Board also considered the following factors in determining reasonableness and fairness of the New Subadvisory Agreement between QFI and Knott Capital Management (“Knott”), with respect to Quaker Capital Opportunities Fund:
| | |
| • | The range of subadvisory services provided by Knott. The Board reviewed the services to be provided by Knott under the New Subadvisory Agreement, and noted that the level and type of investment subadvisory services under the New Subadvisory Agreement would be identical to those Knott had provided under its previous subadvisory agreement. The Board also noted Knott’s ability to have a strong compliance program and its ability to provide compliance oversight, as well as the financial strength of Knott. |
|
| • | The performance record of Quaker Capital Opportunities Fund. The Board reviewed the performance record of Quaker Capital Opportunities Fund and noted that the Fund had outperformed its respective benchmark index for each of the one-year, three-year and since-inception periods considered. Based on the strong performance of the Fund over all the periods considered, the Board determined that Knott would continue to provide a high level of subadvisory services to the Fund under the New Subadvisory Agreement. |
|
| • | Subadvisory fees and expenses. The Board noted that Knott had previously requested QFI to modify the previous subadvisory agreement by eliminating any performance based fee component in determining the subadvisory fees paid to Knott. The 1940 Act requirement for the Board and shareholders of the Fund to approve a New Subadvisory Agreement following a Change of Control provided an opportunity to consider such an arrangement. In connection with the Board’s review and consideration in continuing to retain Knott as the sub-adviser to the Fund, the Board considered an arrangement whereby the New Subadvisory Agreement would provide for Knott to receive compensation based on a fixed annual rate of the sub-advised assets, which would be equal to the “base fee” under the previous subadvisory agreement with the Fund. In considering Knott’s request, the Board considered that the proposed subadvisory fee structure would be simpler than the fee structure under the previous subadvisory agreement. The Board determined that the overall subadvisory fees and expense ratio for the Fund would be lower under the New Subadvisory Agreement than under the previous subadvisory agreement, if the Fund continues to show strong performance results against its respective benchmark index. The Board concluded that the Fund’s subadvisory fees under the New Subadvisory Agreement were fair and reasonable in light of the high quality of subadvisory services that the portfolio managers of Knott would provide under the New Subadvisory Agreement, as evidenced by past strong performance results. |
After considering the above factors, the Board concluded that it is in the best interests of Quaker Capital Opportunities Fund and its shareholders to approve the New Subadvisory Agreement between QFI and Knott for the Fund.
Quaker Biotech Pharma-Healthcare Fund
The Board also considered the following factors in determining reasonableness and fairness of the New Subadvisory Agreement between QFI and Sectoral Asset Management, Inc. (“S.A.M.”), with respect to Quaker Biotech Pharma-Healthcare Fund:
| | |
| • | The range of subadvisory services provided by S.A.M. The Board reviewed the services to be provided by S.A.M. under the New Subadvisory Agreement, and noted that the level and type of investment subadvisory services under the New Subadvisory Agreement would be identical to those S.A.M. had provided under its previous subadvisory agreement. The Board also noted the strength of S.A.M.’s compliance program and its ability to provide compliance oversight, as well as the financial strength of S.A.M. |
|
| • | The performance record of Quaker Biotech Pharma-Healthcare Fund. The Board reviewed the performance record of Quaker Biotech Pharma-Healthcare Fund and noted that although the Fund’s performance lagged behind its respective benchmark index for the long-term periods, the Fund had recently shown |

Approval of Advisory Agreement |
| | |
| | stronger performance by outperforming its benchmark index for the past 12-month period considered. Based on the recent strong performance by the Fund, the Board determined that S.A.M. would continue to provide a high level of subadvisory services to the Fund under the New Subadvisory Agreement. |
|
| • | Subadvisory fees and expenses. The Board gave substantial weight to the fact that the subadvisory fees charged by S.A.M. under the New Subadvisory Agreement is the same as that under the previous subadvisory agreement. Additionally, the Board examined the expense ratio and the level of subadvisory fees for the Fund and concluded that the Fund’s subadvisory fees under the New Subadvisory Agreement were fair and reasonable in light of the recent strong performance of the Fund and the high quality of subadvisory services that the portfolio managers of S.A.M. would continue to provide under the New Subadvisory Agreement. |
After considering the above factors, the Board concluded that it is in the best interests of Quaker Biotech Pharma-Healthcare Fund and its shareholders to approve the New Subadvisory Agreement between QFI and S.A.M. for the Fund.
Quaker Small-Cap Trend Fund
The Board also considered the following factors in determining reasonableness and fairness of the New Subadvisory Agreement between QFI and TrendStar Advisors, LLC (“TrendStar”), with respect to Quaker Small-Cap Trend Fund:
| | |
| • | The range of subadvisory services provided by TrendStar. The Board reviewed the services to be provided by TrendStar under the New Subadvisory Agreement, and noted that the level and type of investment subadvisory services under the New Subadvisory Agreement would be identical to those TrendStar had provided under its previous subadvisory agreement. The Board also noted the strength of TrendStar’s compliance program and its ability to provide compliance oversight, as well as the financial strength of TrendStar. |
|
| • | The performance record of Quaker Small-Cap Trend Fund. The Board reviewed the performance record of Quaker Small-Cap Trend Fund, which TrendStar had served as sub-adviser since the Fund’s formation on February 17, 2004. The Board noted that although the Fund’s performance lagged behind its respective benchmark index for the since- inception period, the Fund had recently shown stronger performance by performing closer to its benchmark index in the last three-month period considered. In taking into account the fact that the Fund has been in existence for only a short period of time, as well as the recent improved performance by the Fund, the Board determined that TrendStar would be able to provide a high level of subadvisory services to the Fund under the New Subadvisory Agreement. |
|
| • | Subadvisory fees and expenses. The Board gave substantial weight to the fact that the subadvisory fees charged by TrendStar under the New Subadvisory Agreement is the same as that under the previous subadvisory agreement. Additionally, the Board examined the expense ratio and the level of subadvisory fees for the Fund and noted that the Fund’s subadvisory fees charged by TrendStar were lower than the advisory fees of a similar fund managed by TrendStar. The Board also noted that the Fund had not realized any economies of scale on the subadvisory fees due to the Fund’s small asset size. The Board concluded that the Fund’s subadvisory fees under the New Subadvisory Agreement were fair and reasonable in light of the recent improved performance of the Fund and the high quality of subadvisory services that the portfolio managers of TrendStar would provide under the New Subadvisory Agreement. The Board also noted that as the asset size of the Fund increases, the Fund will likely benefit from economies of scale which would result in lower expense ratios. |
After considering the above factors, the Board concluded that it is in the best interests of Quaker Small-Cap Trend Fund and its shareholders to approve the New Subadvisory Agreement between QFI and TrendStar for the Fund.
Quaker Mid-Cap Value Fund
Prior to learning of the intended resignation of Schneider Capital Management (“Schneider”) as sub-adviser to Quaker Mid-Cap Value Fund, management of QFI had considered several potential sub-advisers to the Fund. Management of QFI initially proposed GCM to the Board as a prospective sub-adviser to Quaker Mid-Cap Value Fund at a meeting of the Board held on November 10, 2004, at which the principals of GCM made a presentation to the Board regarding their firm and its investment philosophy and investment performance. Subsequently, the Board discussed the approval of the New Subadvisory Agreement between QFI and
102 2005 ANNUAL REPORT
GCM, with respect to Quaker Mid-Cap Value Fund, at an in-person Board meeting held on February 10, 2005. The Independent Trustees also discussed the approval of the New Subadvisory Agreement with independent counsel in a separate session. In evaluating the New Subadvisory Agreement, the Board requested and received information from QFI and GCM to assist in its deliberations.
The Board considered the following factors in determining reasonableness and fairness of the New Subadvisory Agreement between QFI and GCM, with respect to Quaker Mid-Cap Value Fund:
| | |
| • | The range of subadvisory services provided by GCM. The Board reviewed the services to be provided by GCM under the New Subadvisory Agreement, and noted that the level and type of investment subadvisory services under the New Subadvisory Agreement would be comparable to those that had been provided by Schneider under the Fund’s previous subadvisory agreement with Schneider. The Board also noted the strength of GCM’s compliance program and its ability to provide compliance oversight, as well as the financial strength of GCM. |
|
| • | The performance record GCM in managing wrap and separately managed accounts. The Board reviewed the performance record of GCM in managing wrap and separately managed client accounts and noted that these funds managed by GCM had outperformed their respective benchmark indices in 23 of the 26 calendar quarters considered. In taking into account the performance history of other client accounts managed by GCM that use the same investment strategy, the Board determined that GCM would be able to provide a high level of subadvisory services to the Fund under the New Subadvisory Agreement. |
|
| • | Subadvisory fees and expenses. The Board noted that the subadvisory fees under the New Subadvisory Agreement with GCM would be the same as the subadvisory fees paid to Schneider under the previous subadvisory agreement. The Board also noted that the subadvisory fees under the New Subadvisory Agreement with GCM would be lower than the advisory fees paid by other client accounts managed by GCM. In considering that the level and type of investment subadvisory services that would be provided by GCM under the New Subadvisory Agreement will be comparable to the services provided by Schneider, the Board concluded that the Fund’s subadvisory fees under the New Subadvisory Agreement with GCM were fair and reasonable. |
After considering the above factors, the Board concluded that it is in the best interests of Quaker Mid-Cap Value Fund and its shareholders to approve the New Subadvisory Agreement between QFI and GCM for the Fund.
Quaker Small-Cap Value Fund
The Board also considered the following factors in determining reasonableness and fairness of the New Subadvisory Agreement between QFI and Aronson+Johnson+Ortiz, LP (“AJO”), with respect to Quaker Small-Cap Value Fund:
| | |
| • | The range of subadvisory services provided by AJO. The Board reviewed the services to be provided by AJO under the New Subadvisory Agreement, and noted that the level and type of investment subadvisory services under the New Subadvisory Agreement would be identical to those AJO had provided under its previous subadvisory agreement. The Board also noted the ability of AJO’s compliance program to provide compliance oversight, as well as the financial strength of AJO. |
|
| • | The performance record of Quaker Small-Cap Value Fund. The Board reviewed the performance record of Quaker Small-Cap Value Fund and noted that the Fund had outperformed its respective benchmark index for each of the one-year, three-year, five-year and since-inception periods considered. Based on the strong performance of the Fund over all the periods considered, the Board determined that AJO would continue to provide a high level of subadvisory services to the Fund under the New Subadvisory Agreement. |
|
| • | Subadvisory fees and expenses. The Board noted that AJO had previously requested QFI to modify the previous subadvisory agreement by eliminating any performance based fee component in determining the subadvisory fees paid to AJO. The 1940 Act requirement for the Board and shareholders of the Fund to approve a New Subadvisory Agreement following a Change of Control provided an opportunity to consider such an arrangement. In connection with the Board’s review and consideration in continuing to retain AJO as the sub-adviser to the Fund, the Board considered an arrangement whereby the New Subadvisory Agreement would provide for AJO to receive compensation based on a fixed annual rate of the sub-advised assets, which would be equal to the “base |

| | fee” under the previous subadvisory agreement with the Fund. In considering AJO’s request, the Board considered that the proposed subadvisory fee structure would be simpler than the fee structure under the previous subadvisory agreement. The Board determined that the overall subadvisory fees and expense ratio for the Fund would be lower under the New Subadvisory Agreement than under the previous subadvisory agreement so long as the Fund continues to show strong performance results against its respective benchmark index. Although the Board noted that the Fund’s expense ratio is slightly higher than the expense ratio of its peer group average, the Board concluded that the Fund’s subadvisory fees under the New Subadvisory Agreement were fair and reasonable in light of the high quality of subadvisory services that the portfolio managers of AJO would continue to provide under the New Subadvisory Agreement, as evidenced by past strong performance results. |
After considering the above factors, the Board concluded that it is in the best interests of Quaker Small-Cap Value Fund and its shareholders to approve the New Subadvisory Agreement between QFI and AJO for the Fund.
Geewax Terker Core Value Fund
The Board also considered the following factors in determining reasonableness and fairness of the New Subadvisory Agreement between QFI and GTC, with respect to Geewax Terker Core Value Fund:

| • | The range of subadvisory services provided by GTC. The Board reviewed the services to be provided by GTC under the New Subadvisory Agreement, and noted that the level and type of investment subadvisory services under the New Subadvisory Agreement would be identical to those GTC had provided under its previous subadvisory agreement.

|
| • | The performance record of Geewax Terker Core Value Fund. The Board reviewed the performance record of Geewax Terker Core Value Fund and noted that the Fund had outperformed its respective benchmark index for the one-year and since-inception periods considered. Based on the strong performance by the Fund, the Board determined that GTC would continue to provide a high level of subadvisory services to the Fund under the New Subadvisory Agreement. |
|
| • | Subadvisory fees and expenses. The Board gave substantial weight to the fact that the subadvisory fees charged by GTC under the New Subadvisory Agreement is the same as that under the previous subadvisory agreement. Additionally, the Board examined the expense ratio and the level of subadvisory fees for the Fund and concluded that the Fund’s subadvisory fees under the New Subadvisory Agreement were fair and reasonable in light of the strong performance of the Fund and the high quality of subadvisory services that the portfolio managers of GTC would provide under the New Subadvisory Agreement. |
After considering the above factors, the Board concluded that it is in the best interests of Geewax Terker Core Value Fund and its shareholders to approve the New Subadvisory Agreement between QFI and GTC for the Fund.

|
| • | Subadvisory fees and expenses. The Board noted that the subadvisory fees under the New Subadvisory Agreement with Andres would be the same as the subadvisory fees paid under the previous subadvisory agreement. The Board concluded that the Fund’s subadvisory fees under the New Subadvisory Agreement with Andres were fair and reasonable, and noted |
104 2005 ANNUAL REPORT
| | |
| | that as the asset size of the Fund increases, the Fund will benefit from economies of scale which would result in a lower overall expense ratio, since the Fund’s total net assets are small and the fixed costs of operating the Fund are large relative to the assets of the Fund. |
After considering the above factors, the Board concluded that it is in the best interests of Quaker Fixed Income Fund and its shareholders to approve the New Subadvisory Agreement between QFI and Andres for the Fund.
