Expense Information (unaudited)
As a shareholder of the Funds, 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 Funds 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 July 1, 2017 through December 31, 2017.
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.

Notes to the Financial Statements (unaudited)
Note 1 — Organization
The Quaker Investment Trust (“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 (“1940 Act”). The Trust’s Amended and Restated Declaration of Trust permits the Trustees to issue an unlimited number of shares of beneficial interest. The Trust currently has five series: Quaker Event Arbitrage Fund (“Event Arbitrage”), Quaker Global Tactical Allocation Fund (“Global Tactical Allocation”), Quaker Mid-Cap Value Fund (“Mid-Cap Value”), Quaker Small-Cap Value Fund (“Small-Cap Value”) and Quaker Strategic Growth Fund (“Strategic Growth”) (each a “Fund” and collectively, “Funds”). All Funds are diversified. The investment objectives of each Fund are set forth below.
Strategic Growth and Small-Cap Value commenced operations on November 25, 1996. Mid-Cap Value commenced operations on December 31, 1997. Global Tactical Allocation commenced operations on May 1, 2008. Event Arbitrage commenced operations on June 7, 2010 in conjunction with the reorganization of the Pennsylvania Avenue Event Driven Fund (“Event Driven Fund”). The predecessor to the Event Driven Fund, the Pennsylvania Avenue Fund, commenced operations on September 19, 2002. The investment objective of these Funds is to seek long-term growth of capital. The investment objective of these funds is non-fundamental in that this objective may be changed by the Board of Trustees (“Board” or “Trustees”) without shareholder approval. Each Fund is an investment company and accordingly follows the investment company accounting and reporting guidance of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification Topic 946 “Financial Services – Investment Companies.”
The Funds currently offer three classes of shares (Class A, Class C and Institutional Class shares). Class A shares are charged a front-end sales charge and a distribution and servicing fee; Class C shares are charged a distribution fee, but bear no front-end sales charge or contingent deferred sales charge (“CDSC”); and Institutional Class shares bear no front-end sales charge or CDSC, but have higher minimum investment thresholds. Quaker Funds, Inc. (“QFI”), the investment adviser to each of the Funds, has the ability to waive the minimum investment for Institutional Class shares at its discretion.
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 their financial statements. The policies are in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”).
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.
Debt and other fixed-income securities are valued at the last quoted bid price and/or by using a combination of daily quotes and matrix evaluations provided by an independent pricing service (which reflect such factors as security prices, yields, maturities, ratings, and dealer and exchange quotations), the use of which has been approved by the Board.
The Funds may enter into forward foreign currency contracts to lock in the U.S. dollar cost of purchase and sale transactions or to defend the portfolio against currency fluctuations. A forward foreign currency contract is a commitment to purchase or sell a foreign currency at a future date at a negotiated rate. These contracts are

valued daily, and the Fund’s net equity therein, representing unrealized gain or loss on the contracts as measured by the difference between the forward foreign exchange rates at the dates of entry into the contracts and the forward rates at the end of the reporting period, if any, is included in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities. Realized and unrealized gains and losses, if any, are included in the Statements of Operations. Risks may arise upon entering into these contracts from the potential inability of counterparties to meet the terms of the contract and from unanticipated movements in the value of foreign currencies relative to the U.S. dollar.
For financial reporting purposes, investment transactions are recorded on the trade date; however, for purposes of executing shareholder transactions, the Funds record changes in holdings of portfolio securities no later than the first business day after the trade date in accordance with Rule 2a-4 of the 1940 Act. Accordingly, certain differences between net asset value for financial reporting and for executing shareholder transactions may arise.
The Funds have adopted fair valuation procedures to value securities at fair market value in certain circumstances, and the Trust 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 cannot 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.
The Fund is required to disclose information regarding the fair value measurements of the Fund’s assets and liabilities. Fair value is defined as the price that the Fund may receive upon selling an investment in an orderly transaction to an independent buyer in the principal or most advantageous market for the investment. The disclosure requirements utilize a three-tier hierarchy to maximize the use of observable market data, minimize the use of unobservable inputs and establish classification of fair value measurements for disclosure purposes. A financial instrument’s level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level that is significant to the fair value measurement. Inputs refer broadly to the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability, including assumptions about risk, for example, the risk inherent in a particular valuation technique used to measure fair value including the pricing model used and/or the risk inherent in the inputs to the valuation technique. Inputs may be observable or unobservable.
Observable inputs are inputs that reflect the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability, which are based on market data obtained from sources independent of the reporting entity. Unobservable inputs are inputs that reflect the reporting entity’s own assumptions about the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability developed based on the best information available in the circumstances.
The significant unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurement of the reporting entity’s private equity holdings are, the last traded price, the cost of prior transactions, single broker quotes, uncertainty of future payout, pricing service price adjusted for recent payout distribution, last trade price on pre-conversion bond, discounts applied for lack of marketability and last traded price of comparable securities of the same issuer. Significant increases (decreases) in any of those inputs in isolation could result in a significantly lower (higher) fair value measurement.
Various inputs may be used to determine the value of each Fund’s investments. These inputs are summarized in three broad levels for financial statement purposes. The inputs or methodologies used to value securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.
Notes to the Financial Statements (unaudited) (continued)
Note 2 — Summary of Significant Accounting Policies and Other Information (Continued)
Level 1 — Quoted prices in active markets for identical securities.
Level 2 — Prices determined using significant other observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speed, credit risk, etc.) Municipal securities, long-term U.S. Government obligations and corporate debt securities, if any, are valued in accordance with the evaluated price supplied by the pricing service and generally categorized as Level 2 in the hierarchy. Other securities that are categorized as Level 2 in the hierarchy include, but are not limited to, structured notes and warrants that do not trade on an exchange, OTC options and international equity securities, if any, are valued by an independent third party in order to adjust for stale pricing and foreign market holidays.
Level 3 — Prices determined using significant unobservable inputs (including the Fund’s own assumptions). For restricted equity securities where observable inputs are limited, assumptions about market activity and risk are used in determining fair value. These are categorized as Level 3 in the hierarchy.
For international equity securities traded on a foreign exchange or market which closes prior to a Fund’s Valuation Time, in order to adjust for events which occur between the close of the foreign exchange they are traded on and the close of the New York Stock Exchange, a fair valuation model is used, and these securities are categorized as Level 2.
A Fund may hold securities, some of which are classified as Level 3 investments (as defined below). Level 3 investments have significant unobservable inputs, as they trade infrequently. In determining the fair value of these investments, management uses the market approach which includes as the primary input the capital balance reported; however, adjustments to the reported capital balance may be made based on various factors, including, but not limited to, the attributes of the interest held, including the rights and obligations, and any restrictions or illiquidity of such interests, and the fair value of these securities.
The value of a foreign security is generally determined as of the close of trading on the foreign stock exchange on which the security is primarily traded, or as of the close of trading on the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”), if earlier. The value is then converted into its U.S. dollar equivalent at the foreign exchange rate in effect at the close of the NYSE (generally 4:00 p.m. Eastern time) on the day that the value of the foreign security is determined. If no sale is reported at that time, the foreign security will be valued within the range of the most recent quoted bid and ask prices. If market quotations are not readily available for a foreign security or an event has occurred that caused a quotation to be unavailable or unreliable, the Valuation Committee will fair value foreign securities using the procedures described below.
The Trust has adopted fair valuation procedures to value securities at fair market value when independent prices are unavailable or unreliable, and the Trust has established a Valuation Committee that is responsible for determining when fair valuing a security is necessary and appropriate. Securities and assets for which market quotations are not readily available may be valued based upon valuation methods that include: (i) multiple of earnings; (ii) yield to maturity with respect to debt issues; (iii) discounts from market prices of similar freely traded securities; or (iv) a combination of these or other methods. Securities may also be priced using fair value pricing methods when their closing prices do not reflect their market values at the time the Fund calculates its net asset value (“NAV”) because an event had occurred since the closing prices were established on the domestic or foreign exchange or market but before the Fund’s NAV calculation.

* An impact to Valuation from a decrease in input would produce the opposite effect of an increase.
B. Federal Income Taxes. It is the Funds’ policy to comply with the requirements of Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code and to distribute substantially all of their taxable income to shareholders. Therefore, no federal income tax provision is required.
In accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Interpretation ASC 740, (“ASC 740”), each Fund recognizes a tax benefit from an uncertain position only if it is more likely than not that the position is sustainable, based solely on its technical merits and consideration of the relevant taxing authority’s widely understood administrative practices and precedents. If this threshold is met, a Fund measures the tax benefit as the largest amount of benefit that is greater than fifty percent likely of being realized upon ultimate settlement. The Funds identify their major tax jurisdictions as U.S. Federal and the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. Management has reviewed the tax positions for each of the three open tax years as of June 30, 2017 and has determined that the implementation of ASC 740 does not have a material impact on the Funds’ financial statements. Each Fund’s federal tax returns for the prior three fiscal years remains subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service.
Net investment income or loss and net realized gains or losses may differ for financial statement and income tax purposes primarily due to investments that 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. 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.
D. Short Sales of Investments. Certain Funds may make short sales of investments, which are transactions in which a 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.
Notes to the Financial Statements (unaudited) (continued)
Note 2 — Summary of Significant Accounting Policies and Other Information (Continued)
If a security pays a dividend while the Fund holds it short, the Fund will need to pay the dividend to the original owner of the security. Since the Fund borrowed the shares and sold them to a third party, the third party will receive the dividend from the security and the Fund will pay the original owner the dividend directly. The Fund is not entitled to the dividend because it does not own the shares. A gain, limited to the price at which the Fund sold the security short, or a loss, unlimited in size, will be recognized upon the termination of a short sale.
E. Written Options Contracts. Certain Funds may write options to manage exposure to certain changes in the market. When a Fund writes an option, an amount equal to the premium received by the Fund is recorded as a liability, which is marked-to-market daily to reflect the current market value of the option written. If the option expires, the Fund realizes a gain from investments equal to the amount of the premium received. When a written call option is exercised, the difference between the premium and the amount for effecting a closing purchase transaction, including brokerage commission, is also treated as a realized gain or loss. When a written put option is exercised, the amount of the premium received reduces the cost of the security purchased by the Fund.
A risk in writing a covered call option is that the Fund may forego the opportunity of profit if the market price of the underlying security increases and the option is exercised. The risk in writing a put option is that the Fund may incur a loss if the market price of the underlying security decreases and the option is exercised.
In addition, there is the risk that the Fund may not be able to enter into a closing transaction because of an illiquid secondary market.
F. Purchased Options. Certain Funds may purchase call options in anticipation of an increase in the market value of securities of the type in which they may invest. The purchase of a call option will entitle a Fund, in return for the premium paid, to purchase specified securities at a specified price during the option period. A Fund will ordinarily realize a gain if, during the option period, the value of such securities exceeded the sum of the exercise price, the premium paid and transaction costs; otherwise, the Fund will realize either no gain or a loss on the purchase of the call option. A Fund will normally purchase put options in anticipation of a decline in the market value of securities in its portfolio (“protective puts”) or in securities in which it may invest. The purchase of a put option will entitle the Fund, in exchange for the premium paid, to sell specified securities at a specified price during the option period. The purchase of protective puts is designed to offset or hedge against a decline in the market value of the Fund’s securities. Put options may also be purchased by a Fund for the purpose of affirmatively benefiting from a decline in the price of securities which it does not own. The Fund will ordinarily realize a gain if, during the option period, the value of the underlying securities decreased below the exercise price sufficiently to more than cover the premium and transaction costs; otherwise the Fund will realize either no gain or a loss on the purchase of the put option. Gains and losses on the purchase of protective put options would tend to be offset by countervailing changes in the value of the underlying portfolio securities.
G. Futures Contracts. Certain Funds may enter into financial futures contracts, to the extent permitted by their investment policies and objectives, for bona fide hedging and other permissible risk management purposes including protecting against anticipated changes in the value of securities a Fund intends to purchase. Upon entering into a financial futures contract, a Fund is required to deposit cash or securities as initial margin.
Additional securities are also segregated as collateral up to the current market value of the financial futures contracts. Subsequent payments, known as variation margin, are made or received by the Fund, depending on the fluctuation in the value of the underlying financial instruments. The Fund recognizes an unrealized gain or loss equal to the variation margin. When the financial futures contracts are closed, a realized gain or loss is
Notes to the Financial Statements (unaudited) (continued)
Note 2 — Summary of Significant Accounting Policies and Other Information (Continued)
recognized equal to the difference between the proceeds from (or cost of) the closing transactions and the Fund’s basis in the contracts. The risks associated with entering into financial futures contracts include the possibility that a change in the value of the contract may not correlate with the changes in the value of the underlying instruments. In addition, investing in financial futures contracts involves the risk that the Fund could lose more than the original margin deposit and subsequent payments required for a futures transaction. Risks may also arise upon entering into these contracts from the potential inability of the counterparties to meet the terms of their contracts.
H. Foreign Currency Transactions. 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 Funds’ 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.
I. Forward Foreign Currency Contracts. Certain Funds may enter into forward foreign currency contracts to hedge against foreign currency exchange rate risk on their non-U.S. dollar denominated securities or to facilitate settlement of foreign currency denominated portfolio transactions. A forward foreign currency contract is an agreement between two parties to buy and sell a currency at a set price on a future date. The contract is marked-to-market daily and the change in value is recorded by a Fund as an unrealized gain or loss. When a forward foreign currency contract is extinguished, through either delivery or offset by entering into another forward foreign currency contract, the Fund records a realized gain or loss equal to the difference between the value of the contract at the time it was opened and the value of the contract at the time it was extinguished.
Forward foreign currency contracts involve elements of market risk in excess of the amounts reflected in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities. The Fund bears the risk of an unfavorable change in the foreign exchange rate underlying the forward foreign currency contract. Risks may also arise upon entering into these contracts from the potential inability of the counterparties to meet the terms of their contracts.
J. Portfolio Investment Risks. Investments in securities of foreign issuers carry certain risks not ordinarily associated with investments in securities of U.S. issuers. These risks include future disruptive political and economic developments and the possible imposition of exchange controls or other unfavorable foreign government laws and restrictions. In addition, investments in certain countries may carry risks of expropriation of assets, confiscatory taxation, political or social instability, or diplomatic developments that adversely affect investments in those countries. Certain countries may also impose substantial restrictions on investments in their capital markets by foreign entities, including restrictions on investments in issuers in industries deemed sensitive to relevant national interests. These factors may limit the investment opportunities available and result in a lack of liquidity and high price volatility with respect to securities of issuers from developing countries.

Note 2 — Summary of Significant Accounting Policies and Other Information (Continued)
K. 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 respect 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.
L. Expense Allocations. Expenses are allocated to each series based upon its relative proportion of net assets to the Trust’s total net assets.
M. Distributions to Shareholders. Each Fund generally declares dividends at least annually, payable in December, on a date selected by the Board. 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.
N. Use of Estimates. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of 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, and those differences could be significant.
O. Security Loans. The Funds receive compensation in the form of fees, or retain a portion of interest on the investment of any cash received as collateral. The Funds also continue to receive interest or dividends on the securities loaned. The loans are secured by collateral at least equal to 102% of the prior days market value of the loaned securities. Gain or loss in the fair value of the securities loaned that may occur during the term of the loan will be for the account of the Funds. The Funds have the right under the lending agreement to recover the securities from the borrower on demand.
P. Derivative Instruments. The Funds have adopted amendments to authoritative guidance on disclosures about derivative instruments and hedging activities which require that the Funds disclose: a) how and why an entity uses derivative instruments; and b) how derivative instruments and related hedged items affect an entity’s financial position, financial performance and cash flows.
The Funds may trade financial instruments where they are considered to be a seller of credit derivatives in accordance with authoritative guidance under GAAP on derivatives and hedging.

There is no Rule 12b-1 distribution plan for Institutional Class shares of the Funds. The Class A Plan provides that each Fund may pay a servicing or Rule 12b-1 fee at an annual rate of 0.25% of the Class A average net assets on a monthly basis to persons or institutions for performing certain servicing functions for the Class A shareholders. The Class A Plan also allows the Fund to pay or reimburse expenditures in connection with sales and promotional services related to distribution of the Fund’s shares, including personal services provided to prospective and existing shareholders. The Class C Plan provides that each Fund may compensate QFI and others for services provided and expenses incurred in the distribution of shares at an annual rate of 1.00% of the average net assets of each class on a monthly basis.

The difference between book basis and tax basis unrealized appreciation (depreciation) is attributable primarily to the tax deferral of losses on wash sales and straddles from options, and the differing book/tax treatment of unrealized appreciation/depreciation on partnership adjustments.
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, and certain temporary book/tax differences such as the deferral of realized losses on wash sales, PFIC mark to market, partnership adjustments, straddles from options and net losses realized after October 31 and from ordinary losses incurred after December 31.
Under current tax law, foreign currency and net capital losses realized after October 31 may be deferred and treated as occurring on the first day of the following fiscal year. The Funds elected to defer net capital and currency losses as indicated in the chart below.
At June 30, 2017, the capital loss carryovers, late year losses, post-October capital loss and the capital loss utilized for the Funds were as follows:

Note 8 — Offsetting Assets and Liabilities
The Funds are subject to various Master Netting Arrangements (“MNA”), which govern the terms of certain transactions with select counterparties. The MNA allow the Funds to close out and net their total exposure to a counterparty in the event of a default with respect to all the transactions governed under a single agreement with a counterparty. The MNA also specify collateral posting arrangements at pre-arranged exposure levels. Under the MNA, collateral is routinely transferred if the total net exposure to certain transactions (net of existing collateral already in place) governed under the revelant MNA with a counterparty in a given account exceeds a specified threshold depending on the counterparty and the type of MNA.

Note 9 — Indemnifications
Under the Trust’s organizational documents, its officers and Trustees are indemnified against certain liabilities arising out of the performance of their duties to the Funds. In addition, in the normal course of business, the Trust enters into contracts with its vendors and others that provide for general indemnifications.
The Trust’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is dependent on future claims that may be made against the Trust, and, therefore, cannot be estimated; however, based on experience, risk of loss from such claims is considered remote.
Note 10 — Securities Lending

At a regular Board meeting held on November 16, 2017, the Board, including the Independent Trustees, discussed and approved an interim advisory agreement pursuant to Rule 15a-4 under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the “Interim Advisory Agreement”) and a new definitive advisory agreement (the “New Investment Advisory Agreement” and together with the Interim Advisory Agreement, the “Advisory Agreements”) between Community Capital Management, Inc. (the “Adviser”) and the Trust, on behalf of the Quaker Strategic Growth Fund, Quaker Global Tactical Allocation Fund, Quaker Small-Cap Value Fund, and Quaker Mid-Cap Value Fund (collectively, the “Funds”) and determined to recommend that the Funds’ shareholders approve the New Investment Advisory Agreement. In considering information relating to the approval of the Advisory Agreements, the Board, and the Independent Trustees, received assistance and advice from counsel and Independent Trustees’ counsel, and was provided with a written description of their responsibilities in approving the Advisory Agreements. The Independent Trustees had requested and been provided with detailed materials prepared by the Adviser in advance of the meeting. At the meeting, the Trustees discussed QFI’s intention to exit the investment advisory business in 2018; the Funds’ need for continuity in investment advisory services; and the capabilities, resources, and personnel available through the Adviser. The Board also considered the Adviser’s general plans and intentions regarding the operations and management of the Funds and the Trust. At the meeting, representatives of the Adviser responded to questions from the Board.
In connection with the Board’s review of the Advisory Agreements, the Adviser advised the Trustees on a variety of matters, including that no material changes were contemplated in the nature, quality, or extent of services currently provided to the Funds and their shareholders, including investment management, distribution, or other shareholder services, other than no longer relying on sub-advisers to manage certain of the Funds’ portfolios.
In addition to the information provided by the Adviser as described above, the Board also considered, among other factors, the following:
| • | The significant financial resources of the Adviser that the Adviser indicated would benefit the Funds by providing a more robust operational infrastructure and a dedicated team designed to grow Fund assets. |
| • | The terms and conditions of the New Investment Advisory Agreement, including that each Fund’s contractual fee rate under the New Investment Advisory Agreement will be lower than or the same as under the prior investment advisory agreement with the Funds’ prior investment adviser (the “Prior Investment Advisory Agreement”). |
| • | The Funds’ existing investment policies and strategies will remain the same and additionally, the Adviser will implement an impact investing categorization and risk assessment process for the Funds. |
| • | At its in-person meeting on November 16, 2017, the Board reviewed the Advisory Agreements as required by the 1940 Act and determined that the Adviser had the capabilities, resources, experience and personnel necessary to provide at least the level of investment management services provided to the Funds pursuant to the Prior Investment Advisory Agreement. The Board carefully considered that the advisory fees to be paid by the Funds would be lower than or the same as under the Prior Investment Advisory Agreement, and acknowledged the Adviser’s willingness to continue to waive fees and/or reimburse expenses in order to cap the costs paid by shareholders of the Quaker Global Tactical Allocation Fund. |
| • | The Adviser has agreed to pay all costs associated with obtaining shareholder approval of the New Investment Advisory Agreement. |
Approval of Interim Advisory Agreements (unaudited) (continued)
Certain of these considerations are discussed in more detail below.
In making the decision to approve the Advisory Agreements, the Trustees gave attention to all information furnished. The following discussion identifies the primary factors taken into account by the Board in approving the Advisory Agreements.
The nature, extent, and quality of services to be provided to the Funds by the Adviser. The Board considered materials provided describing the services to be provided by the Adviser to each Fund and its shareholders as well as information provided at the November Board meeting. In reviewing the nature, extent, and quality of services to be provided to each Fund, the Board considered that the Advisory Agreements will be substantially identical to the Prior Investment Advisory Agreement. The Board carefully considered the Adviser’s proposed reduction in or continuation of the current advisory fees. The Board noted the continuity between the prior and new agreements with respect to the Adviser’s anticipated responsibilities as the Funds’ investment adviser, including: overall supervisory responsibility for the general management and investment of each Fund’s securities portfolio; the Adviser’s strategic plans to market the Funds; and the Adviser’s expected adoption of the existing compliance structure for the Funds to monitor compliance with the Funds’ respective investment objectives, strategies and restrictions on a day-to-day basis and undertaking to report to the Board on a quarterly basis and as otherwise deemed necessary or appropriate.
Based on its consideration and review of the foregoing information, the Board determined that the Funds were likely to benefit from the nature, extent, and quality of services to be provided by the Adviser, as well as the Adviser’s ability to render such services based on its experience, operations, and resources.
Comparison of services to be provided and fees to be charged by the Adviser, and the cost of the services provided and profits realized by the Adviser from the relationship with the Funds. At this meeting, the Board carefully considered the Adviser’s proposed contractual advisory fee rates, noting that they are less than or the same as the contractual fees under the Prior Investment Advisory Agreement. The Board also acknowledged the Adviser’s willingness to continue to waive fees and/or reimburse expenses in order to cap the costs paid by fund shareholders of the Quaker Global Tactical Allocation Fund.
Profitability and Economies of Scale. The Board considered possible costs, profitability and any “fall out” or ancillary benefits that may accrue to the Adviser as a result of its proposed relationship with the Funds. Based on the discussions with representatives of the Adviser and the relative size of the Funds, the Trustees concluded that there did not appear to be any significant benefits in this regard.
Conclusion. Based on the totality of the information considered, the Trustees concluded that the Funds were likely to benefit from the nature, extent and quality of Adviser’s services and that the Adviser has the ability to provide these services based on its significant experience, operations and resources. After evaluation of the fee and expense information, ancillary benefits and other considerations as described above, and in light of the nature, extent and quality of services to be provided by the Adviser, the Trustees, including a majority of the Independent Trustees, approved the Advisory Agreements, concluding that the advisory fee rates are reasonable in relation to the services provided to each Fund and that the Advisory Agreements are in the best interests of the shareholders and the Funds.
Approval of Interim Advisory Agreements (unaudited) (continued)
Camelot Funds, LLC
At a special board meeting held on December 15, 2017 (the “Special Meeting”), the Board, including the Independent Trustees, discussed and approved an interim advisory agreement pursuant to Rule 15a-4 under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the “Interim Advisory Agreement”) between Camelot Funds, LLC (“Camelot”) and the Trust, on behalf of the Quaker Event Arbitrage Fund (the “Fund”). In considering information relating to the approval of the Interim Advisory Agreement, the Board, and the Independent Trustees, received assistance and advice from counsel and Independent Trustees’ counsel. The Independent Trustees had requested and been provided with detailed materials prepared by Camelot in advance of the Special Meeting and a prior meeting. At the Special Meeting, the Trustees discussed QFI’s intention to exit the investment advisory business in 2018; the Fund’s need for continuity in investment advisory services; and the capabilities, resources, and personnel available through Camelot. The Board also considered Camelot’s general plans and intentions regarding the Fund’s operations and management.
In addition to the information provided by Camelot as described above, the Board also considered, among other factors, the following:
| • | Camelot’s plans to market and distribute the Fund. |
| • | The terms and conditions of the Interim Advisory Agreement, including that the Fund’s contractual fee rate under the New Investment Advisory Agreement will be the same as under the prior investment advisory agreement with the Fund’s prior investment adviser (the “Prior Investment Advisory Agreement”). |
| • | The Fund’s existing investment policies and strategies will remain the same. |
| • | The Board acknowledged Camelot’s willingness to continue to waive fees and/or reimburse expenses in order to cap the costs paid by shareholders of the Fund. |
Certain of these considerations are discussed in more detail below.
In making the decision to approve the Interim Advisory Agreement, the Trustees gave attention to all information furnished. The following discussion identifies the primary factors taken into account by the Board in approving the Interim Advisory Agreement.
The nature, extent, and quality of services to be provided to the Fund by Camelot. In considering the approval of the Interim Advisory Agreement, the Trustees first considered the nature, extent and quality of the services to be provided by Camelot, in particular, its capabilities, its experience, and the ability of Camelot to provide continuity of management to the Fund. The Board’s deliberations included consideration of information provided to the Board at the Special Meeting and prior meetings. The Trustees also considered Camelot’s commitment to grow the Fund’s distribution channels and, thereby, increase the likelihood of growing its assets. The Board reviewed factors such as the background and experience of the Camelot personnel to be involved in the Fund’s operations, the anticipated quality of the monitoring of the Fund’s operations and investment performance. The Board also took into account Camelot’s intention to retain the Fund’s current portfolio management team in continuing to manage the Fund’s assets and Camelot’s desire to increase distribution efforts and propel asset growth in the Fund, which should result in economies-of-scale and, in turn, could result in the Fund benefitting from economies of scale. The Board was satisfied that Camelot would provide at least equivalent services as the Fund’s prior investment adviser.
Approval of Interim Advisory Agreements (unaudited) (continued)
Performance. In light of Camelot’s intention to retain the Fund’s existing portfolio management team, the Board took into consideration the past performance of the Fund as presented at the Fund’s regular quarterly meetings.
Comparison of services to be provided and fees to be charged by Camelot, and the cost of the services provided and profits realized by Camelot from the relationship with the Fund. At this meeting, the Board carefully considered Camelot’s proposed contractual advisory fee rate, noting that it is the same as the contractual fees under the Prior Investment Advisory Agreement. The Board also acknowledged Camelot’s willingness to continue to waive fees and/or reimburse expenses in order to cap the costs paid by Fund shareholders. The Trustees considered the fact that if Camelot were to become adviser to the Fund, Camelot was unlikely to realize a profit at least in the short-term.
Profitability and Economies of Scale. The Board considered possible costs, profitability and any “fall out” or ancillary benefits that may accrue to Camelot as a result of its proposed relationship with the Fund. Based on the current size of the Fund, the Trustees concluded that there did not appear to be any significant benefits in this regard.
Conclusion. Based on the totality of the information considered, the Trustees, including a majority of the Fund’s independent Trustees, concluded that the Interim Advisory Agreement should be approved.
