Chairman’s Letter to the Shareholders
June 30, 2009
Dear Fellow Shareholder,
When I founded Quaker Funds in November of 1996, the mission was to deliver high quality, traditional and tactical institutional money managers to the individual investor. Our commitment to this principle is still as strong today as it was the day we opened our doors. As we negotiate challenging economic times, we continue to believe in the relevance and importance of our strategy.
Benjamin Graham, who is widely considered to be the first proponent of value investing, famously stated, “In the short run, the stock market is a voting machine, but in the long run it is a weighing machine.” This means stock prices in the short run may not reflect fair value since they are partly the product of emotion and not solely of reason.
Emotions have clearly moved markets this year. This has made the role that traditional and tactical mutual funds play in portfolio construction very evident. During the secular bull period of the eighties and nineties, traditional long-only mutual funds provided enough diversification to capture market returns. The current secular bear market, which started in 2000, has made investors rethink asset allocation, and turned their attention to products that are tactical in nature.
Quaker Funds has offered both traditional and tactical mutual funds since 1996, and will continue to focus on delivering a broad range of products to best meet investor’s financial goals.
Thank you for your trust of and investment in The Quaker Funds.
Sincerely,
Jeffry H. King, Sr.
Chairman & CEO
Quaker Investment Trust

Performance Update
Quaker Global Tactical Allocation Fund (QTRAX, QTRCX, QTRIX)
Objectives and Principal Strategies
The Fund seeks to provide long-term growth of capital. The Fund invests in common stocks of U.S. companies and American depository receipts (“ADRs”) of foreign companies without regard to market capitalization. Under normal circumstances, the Fund will invest at least 40% of its total assets in common stocks and ADRs of foreign companies.
Performance Review and Market Outlook
For the fiscal year ended June 30, 2009, the MSCI World Index (a global market proxy) declined 29.50% while the Quaker Global Tactical Allocation Fund finished the fiscal year with a loss of 47.30%.* For the first half of calendar year 2009, the MSCI World gained 6.35% while the Quaker Global Tactical Allocation Fund rose 1.51%.
The strong sell-off in world markets in the latter half of 2008 reflected the deepening global recession that began in December 2007 domestically and in July of 2008 for the “Rest of the World.” This period was characterized by liquidations (of hedge funds and mutual funds), speculation about the state of the financial system due to its inherent opaqueness, and unprecedented level of government intervention, conditions under which our fundamentals driven, opportunistic growth process faired poorly.
After bottoming out in mid-March, the subsequent rally was initially driven by lower quality stocks that had been upgraded from “bankrupt” to “not quite bankrupt.” The biggest gainers were low priced, heavily shorted, high momentum growth stocks with poor balance sheets (an area we do not normally invest in). The rally eventually broadened to include higher quality names, but due to our initial period of underperformance during the junk rally, we were not able to match the market’s performance year-to-date.
Going forward, we believe that good news will be required for any sustained rally since the market has gone as far as it can on “less bad” news. Domestically, cost cutting in capital expenditures and layoffs has helped bolster the bottom lines of many firms, but top line growth will be required for any real recovery. While some firms have benefited from shifts in market share (due, in part, to bankruptcies of several high-profile retail chains), real growth in demand has yet to materialize domestically.
We continue to believe that overseas stimulus mandates for global infrastructure expansion (especially in developing markets) will be the leading drivers of global economic growth in the near term. Commodities (including food, materials and energy), should also benefit from dollar weakness and overseas growth as demand picks up following a period characterized by a dearth of capital improvements.

Performance Update
Quaker Long-Short Tactical Allocation Fund (QLSAX, QLSCX, QLSIX)
Objectives and Principal Strategies
The Fund seeks to provide long-term growth of capital. The Fund seeks to achieve its objective primarily by investing in equity securities and selling equity securities short as a hedge against adverse market conditions.
Performance Review and Market Outlook
On June 15, 2009, the former Top-Flight Long-Short Fund was reorganized into the Quaker Long-Short Tactical Allocation Fund. Rock Canyon Advisory Group, Inc. has continuously managed the Fund since its December 31, 2002 inception and is pleased to continue to do so as sub-adviser to the Fund.
For the fiscal year ended June 30, 2009, the Fund returned —7.64%* compared to a return of —26.21% for the S&P 500® Total Return Index (S&P 500®).
By June of 2008, the US financial system was awash in insolvency and counter-party risk. Our quantitative models were suggesting a high level of downside market risk, which was consistent with our qualitative outlook for Main Street and Wall Street. We invested defensively in anticipation of potential market dislocation.
Several months passed before we were rewarded for recognizing the risks. However, as the S&P 500® returned —16.79% in October 2008, the Fund returned 2.75%. We began the month 37% net short and adjusted the portfolio throughout the month to end 100% long.
Late in February of this year, our allocation model reached strong bullish levels, even as our factor work pointed to changing investor attitudes toward risk and greater investor preference for value-related stock characteristics. In hindsight, the shifts in our quantitative work—which began during the week of March 2—may have been precipitated by the market’s improved perception of the growth outlook due to the March 12, 2009 House Financial Services Subcommittee hearings on mark-to-market reform. In the first quarter of 2009, the Fund returned 5.68% vs. —11.01% for the S&P 500®.
By mid-May, our allocation model had turned negative for the first time since September 2008, indicating that market risks were skewed to the downside. Our subsequent defensive positioning has caused the Fund to participate only marginally in the second quarter market advance. We believe there is significant risk to both the upside and the downside, and given the current environment we continue to favor a defensive position.
In conclusion, we have not successfully timed the bottoms and tops of the market to make significant allocation changes during the last year. That is not our intention. As portfolio managers we also see ourselves as risk managers. We adjust net exposures in the Fund to protect capital and exploit risk as we perceive it, with little thought as to the immediacy of specific market moves. During this fiscal year we were able to both adjust the Fund’s investments to better fit environmental risks, and deliver better than market returns. We believe our process to be well suited to continue to uncover opportunities for above average returns in a future of higher volatility levels and significant policy contingencies.

Performance Update
Quaker Small-Cap Growth Tactical Allocation Fund (QGASX, QGCSX, QGISX)
Objectives and Principal Strategies
The Fund seeks to provide long-term growth of capital. The Fund invests at least 80% of its total assets in common stocks, Exchange-Traded Funds (“ETFs”), ADRs and foreign securities traded on U.S. stock exchanges, with market capitalizations within the range of companies included in the Russell 2000® Growth Index.
Performance Review and Market Outlook
For the nine months ended June 30, 2009 (Quaker Funds, Inc. launched the Fund on September 30, 2008), the Quaker Small-Cap Growth Tactical Allocation Fund’s return was 0.90%;* the Russell 2000® Growth Index (its benchmark index) was —19.20%. In other words, the Fund outperformed the Index by 20.10% for the initial period. Such results were achieved because the Fund managed through the fourth quarter of 2008 by choosing to hold a lot of cash, being light on the ownership of equities, and by making a constructive use of selling short the Index in a tactically successful manner.
The Fund had an average market capitalization of roughly $1,190 million vs. $830 million for the Index. The Fund’s highest growing companies outperformed those of the Index and had a reasonable percentage of small cap stock domiciled oversees that helped performance. Its highest weighted sectors were communications, technology, and consumer cyclical; the highest weighted sectors for the Index were health care, technology, and consumer discretionary.
The market suffered its worst performance since the Great Depression and has just begun to recover as the credit markets have repaired and recuperated. As the prospects for more normal economic activity brighten, so should the outcomes for the market in general and small cap stocks in specific. The Fund’s strategy is designed to help survive difficult financial times and seeks to perform well in all market environments. The past three quarters have been a tough test and the Fund has done comparably well and has accomplished its stated principal investment objective.

Performance Update
Quaker Strategic Growth Fund (QUAGX, QAGBX, QAGCX, QAGIX)
Objectives and Principal Strategies
The Fund seeks to provide long-term growth of capital. Current income is not a significant investment consideration. The Fund invests primarily in equity securities of domestic U.S. companies which the Fund’s sub-adviser believes show a high probability for superior growth.
Performance Review and Market Outlook
For the fiscal year ended June 30, 2009, the S&P 500® Total Return Index (a broad based market proxy) declined 26.21% while the Class A shares of the Quaker Strategic Growth Fund finished the fiscal year with a total return of —49.61%.* For the first half of calendar year 2009, the S&P 500® has gained 3.16% while the Quaker Strategic Growth Fund lost 0.88%.
The strong sell-off in world markets in the latter half of 2008 reflected the deepening global recession that began in December 2007 for the United States and in July of 2008 for the “Rest of the World.” At this stage, economists believe that the current economic downturn (already 18 months old) will be the deepest in the post World War II period. During this period of liquidations (of hedge funds and mutual funds), speculation about the state of the financial system due to its inherent opaqueness, and unprecedented level of government intervention, our fundamentals driven, opportunistic growth process faired poorly.
The markets continued to confound investors in 2009. After bottoming late in the first quarter, a low-quality stock rally that began on March 9, 2009 continued through the end of the first half of the year. This recent rise—which seemed fueled on “less bad” news rather than on any actual improvements in fundamentals or economic underpinnings—produced the best quarter for stocks since 2003. After outperforming the market in the first quarter of 2009, —7.40% versus —11.01%, we again trailed the market during this second quarter junk rally.
Going forward, we believe commodities (food, materials and energy) will benefit from both weakness in the US dollar and overseas growth. We continue to emphasize global infrastructure expansion (China), agribusiness and energy, and seek companies with sustainable or expanding free cash-flow (operating cash less capital expenditures) so they can self-finance in periods of tight credit. We also continue to believe that stimulus mandates for global infrastructure expansion (especially in emerging economies) will be one of the leading drivers of global growth.
The current market continues to be a bit schizophrenic and speculative, as opposed to rational and fundamentally-based. Therefore, we will continue to maintain a modest cash position, diversify the Fund by sector and security, and focus on our long-term tenets that: (a) earnings growth drives long-term stock price; and (b) finding quality companies trading at reasonable multiples is a sound long-term investment philosophy.

Performance Update
Quaker Capital Opportunities Fund (QUKTX, QCOBX, QCOIX)
Objectives and Principal Strategies
The Fund seeks to provide long-term growth of capital. Current income is not a significant investment consideration and any such income realized will be considered incidental to the Fund’s investment objective. The Fund invests primarily in a limited number of securities which the Fund’s sub-adviser believes show a high probability for superior growth.
Performance Review and Market Outlook
For the fiscal year ended June 30, 2009, the Fund outperformed the S&P 500® Total Return Index, with a loss of 20.18%* vs. a loss of 26.21% for the S&P 500®. Our macroeconomic view during the past year emphasized defensiveness, given our belief that the economy would likely slow over the period. While we did not envision the global economic crisis which engulfed markets in October and November, we did position the portfolio away from some of those areas hardest hit during the late 2008 meltdown.
Our defensive positioning has been rewarded over the past twelve months. Our overweights in consumer staples, materials and technology, as well as our higher than average cash position, all contributed positively to our relative outperformance. Additionally, underweighting the financials sector during the trailing one year period proved beneficial. Our stock selection within the Industrials sector proved to be the largest detractor to performance during the period.
After a dreadful six-month period ending in March, the stock market staged a remarkable rally; at its recent peak, the S&P 500® had moved up 42% from the March 6, 2009 low. While modestly below this level as of quarter-end, the index had a 15.93% return in the second quarter, the best quarterly performance since the fourth quarter of 1998. While we are encouraged by the vast improvements we saw this spring in the trajectory of the economy, we are closely monitoring the data on employment, housing, and consumer spending, in particular, to gauge the true health of the recovery. While we believe that Gross Domestic Product (GDP) growth will likely be back by later this year—and, hence, by definition the recession will be over—strong and sustained growth, supported by job creation and a confident consumer, might remain elusive for some time.

Performance Update
Quaker Mid-Cap Value Fund (QMCVX, QMCBX, QMCCX, QMVIX)
Objectives and Principal Strategies
The Fund seeks to provide long-term growth of capital. Current income is not a significant investment consideration and any such income realized will be considered incidental to the Fund’s investment objective. The Fund invests primarily in common stocks comparable to the companies included in the Russell Midcap® Value Index.
Performance Review and Market Outlook
For the fiscal year ended June 30, 2009, the Fund generated a loss of 34.88%* versus a loss of 30.52% for the benchmark Russell Midcap® Value Index. Beginning October 1, 2008, we assumed management responsibilities for the Fund. October 1, 2008 through June 30, 2009 was one of the most volatile periods in the history of the market. Every sector in the benchmark posted negative returns. Taking a look at relative performance by quarter demonstrated the strength of the portfolio in turbulent times; in the two worst quarters of the year, ending December 2008 and March 2009, when the benchmark was down 27.19% and 14.67% respectively, the Fund outperformed by 3.90% and 7.66%, respectively. Conversely, in the June quarter, the benchmark rose 20.94%, and the Fund was up just 12.32%. As bankruptcy fears subsided and signs began to emerge that the recession wouldn’t last forever, most everything in the market that did poorly over the previous two quarters outperformed and our style of investing in higher quality companies with solid balance sheets was temporarily out of favor. For the year, every sector in both the benchmark and our portfolio posted negative returns. Over half of our outperformance was the result of superior stock picking. Relative performance was also helped by sector allocation. We underweighted the sectors most impacted by the recession, specifically the financials, industrials, and consumer discretionary sectors, which were down 37.48%, 27.58%, and 25.35% respectively. We were also underweight in energy, which declined 25.92% as oil collapsed from its all-time high prices in the summer of 2008.
Looking forward, we now believe the worst of the recession is behind us and are positioning the portfolio for the economic recovery. Our focus will continue to be on investing in companies that, in our opinion, generate superior returns on invested capital, with the ability to do so over the course of a business cycle. We remain as confident as ever that this strategy is the best way to create long-term value for shareholders.

Performance Update
Quaker Small-Cap Value Fund (QUSVX, QSVBX, QSVCX, QSVIX)
Objectives and Principal Strategies
The Fund seeks to provide long-term growth of capital. Current income is not a significant investment consideration and any such income realized will be considered incidental to the Fund’s investment objective. The Fund invests primarily in common stocks of U.S. companies with market capitalizations similar to the market capitalizations of companies included in the Russell 2000® Index and Russell 2500® Index. The Fund invests in companies considered by the Fund’s sub-adviser to have consistent earnings and above-average core assets, selling at relatively low market valuations, with attractive growth and momentum characteristics.
Performance Review and Market Outlook
For the fiscal year ended June 30, 2009, the Fund’s performance was –28.61%,* while the Fund’s benchmark, the Russell 2000® Index (a broad-based cross-section of the entire U.S. small-cap market) returned –25.01%. Working from the bottom up, we evaluate companies relative to their industry peers using three broad categories of attractiveness: value, management, and momentum. Value to us means fairly traditional ratios of price to fundamental value; (a stock’s price compared to its fundamental value) management measures seek evidence that company management has and will continue to produce earnings power; and gauges of momentum help us determine when stocks might be expected to begin their ascent toward full valuation.
While the Fund held up remarkably well throughout the financial crisis, the market rally that began on March 9, 2009, challenged our work. As the financial sector melted down and brought the rest of the market with it, our analysis of management (strictly by the numbers, that is) proved invaluable in keeping the Fund above water. When the market snap-back occurred, our indicators of positive momentum lagged and our search for low-price combined with fundamental value held us back; however, investment in good management (at least by our standards) continued to be an important buoy for performance. Although we make no bets across economic sectors, our choices about where to invest and what to avoid were most effective within the financial and consumer discretionary sectors, while our biggest disappointments fell within energy and capital goods. We were not surprised to see our performance lagging after such an explosive shift, but we were relieved when the fiscal year’s end brought light to the type of stocks we favor.

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 January 1, 2009 through June 30, 2009.
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
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 (the “1940 Act”), as an open-end management investment company. 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 seven series: Quaker Global Tactical Allocation Fund (“Global Tactical Allocation”), Quaker Long-Short Tactical Allocation Fund (“Long-Short Tactical Allocation’’), Quaker Small-Cap Growth Tactical Allocation Fund (“Small-Cap Growth Tactical Allocation”), Quaker Strategic Growth Fund (“Strategic Growth”), Quaker Capital Opportunities Fund (“Capital Opportunities”), Quaker Mid-Cap Value Fund (“Mid-Cap Value”), and Quaker Small-Cap Value Fund (“Small-Cap Value”) (each a “Fund” and collectively, the “Funds”). 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. Capital Opportunities commenced operations on January 31, 2002. The investment objective of these Funds is to seek long-term growth of capital.
Global Tactical Allocation commenced operations on May 1, 2008. Small-Cap Growth Tactical Allocation commenced operations on September 30, 2008. Long-Short Tactical Allocation commenced operations on June 15, 2009 in conjunction with the reorganization of the Top Flight Long-Short Fund (“Top Flight Fund”). The predecessor Top Flight Fund commenced investment operations on December 31, 2002.
The investment objective of these Funds is to seek long-term growth of capital. Unlike other Funds in the Trust, this investment objective is non-fundamental in that this objective may be changed by the Board of Trustees (“Board” or “Trustees”) without shareholder approval.
Strategic Growth, Capital Opportunities, Small-Cap Value, and Mid-Cap Value currently offer three classes of shares (Class A, Class C and Institutional Class shares). Formerly Class B Shares were also offered by the Funds. Class B Shares are no longer available for purchase, and all outstanding Class B Shares are in the process of being converted to Class A Shares. Small-Cap Growth Tactical Allocation, Global Tactical Allocation and Long-Short Tactical Allocation 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 B Shares bear a contingent deferred sales charge (“CDSC”) of 5.00% that declines to zero in the seventh year after purchase; Class B Shares automatically convert to Class A Shares once the economic equivalent of a 5.00% sales charge is recovered by the Fund(s) for each investment account, normally after an average of seven years, coupled with additional distribution and servicing fees. Class C Shares bear an additional distribution and servicing fee; and Institutional Class Shares bear no front-end sales charge or CDSC, but have higher minimum investment limitations.
The Trust has suspended sales of each Fund’s Class B Shares.
Class C Shares purchased on or after July 1, 2008 will not be subject to a CDSC. Quaker Funds, Inc., 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.
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 have 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.
Short-term investments are valued at amortized cost, which approximates fair market value.

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 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 June 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes (“FIN 48”). FIN 48 sets forth a recognition threshold and measurement method for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken on a tax return. FIN 48 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006, and is applied to all open tax years as of the effective date. Management has reviewed the tax positions for each of the four open tax years as of June 30, 2009 and has determined that the implementation of FIN 48 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. 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, Small-Cap Growth Tactical Allocation and Long-Short Tactical Allocation 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.
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.
D. Option Writing. Strategic Growth, Capital Opportunities, Global Tactical Allocation and Long-Short Tactical Allocation 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 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.

Notes to the Financial Statements
Note 2 — Summary of Significant Accounting Policies and Other Information (Continued)
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 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.
G. Expense Allocations. Fund expenses that are not series (Fund) specific are allocated to each series based upon its relative proportion of net assets to the Funds’ total net assets.
H. Distributions to Shareholders. Each Fund generally declares dividends annually, payable in December, on a date selected by the Trust’s 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.
I. 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 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.
J. 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, at all times, to the fair value of the securities loaned plus accrued interest. 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.
K. Fair Value of Financial Instruments. Effective July 1, 2008, the Funds adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157, Fair Value Measurements (“FAS 157” or the “Statement”). FAS 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”), and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. The Statement establishes a fair value hierarchy that distinguishes between: (1) market participant assumptions developed based on market data obtained from sources independent of the Funds (observable inputs); and (2) the Funds’ own assumptions about market participant assumptions developed based on the best information available in the circumstances (unobservable inputs). The three levels defined by the hierarchy are as follows:
Level I — quoted prices in active markets for identical securities.
Level II — significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.).
Level III — significant unobservable inputs (including the Fund’s own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments).
In some instances, the inputs used to measure fair value might fall in different levels of the fair value hierarchy. The level in the fair value hierarchy within which the fair value measurement in its entirely falls shall be determined based on the lowest input level that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety.
In April 2009, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued FASB Staff Position No. 157-4, Determining Fair Value When the Volume and Level of Activity for the Asset or Liability Have Significantly Decreased and Identifying Transactions That Are Not Orderly (“FSP 157-4”). FSP 157-4 provides additional guidance for estimating fair value in accordance with FAS 157, when the volume and level of activity for the asset or liability have significantly decreased as well as guidance on identifying circumstances that indicate a transaction is not orderly. FSP 157-4 is effective for fiscal years and interim periods ending after June 15, 2009.

Global Capital Management, Inc. the prior sub-adviser to Mid-Cap Value, agreed to voluntarily reduce its sub-advisory fee from 0.75% to 0.70%. For the period from July 1, 2008 to September 25, 2008 this fee waiver was in effect. On September 25, 2008, the sub-adviser for Mid-Cap Value changed to Kennedy Capital Management, Inc.
The sub-adviser to Small-Cap Value has voluntarily waived a portion of its subadvisory fee, resulting in 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 are 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 Institutional Class 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.

performs other shareholder functions. As compensation for its services, the Transfer Agent receives a fee at the annual rate of 0.0525% of the aggregate of the Trust’s average daily net assets.
Brown Brothers Harriman & Co. serves as fund accountant and administrator (the “Administrator”) for the Trust pursuant to a written agreement with the Trust. The Administrator provides fund accounting services and administrative services to each Fund. As compensation for its services, the Administrator receives a fee at the annual rate of 0.025% for accounting and 0.030% for administration of the aggregate of the Trust’s first $2 billion of average daily net assets and 0.0200% for accounting and 0.0250% for administration for over $2 billion of average daily net assets.
The Trust will incur an annual account minimum if, on an annual basis, the asset charges do not exceed the account minimum charges.
Quasar Distributors, LLC (the “Distributor”) serves as principal underwriter for the Trust. The Trust has adopted distribution and shareholder servicing plans pursuant to Rule 12b-1 of the 1940 Act for each class for each Fund with the exception of Institutional Class. 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 B and C Plans provide 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.
For the fiscal year ending June 30, 2009, the Distributor received $225,837 in underwriter concessions from the sale of Fund shares.

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, straddles from options and net losses realized after October 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, 2009, the capital loss carryovers for the Funds were as follows:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | Capital Loss | | Capital Loss | | |

Note 10 — Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In March 2008, Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 161, Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities (“FAS 161”), was issued and is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2008. The Funds adopted FAS 161 effective June 30, 2009. FAS 161 requires enhanced disclosures about the use of and accounting for derivative instruments using a tabular format. Disclosing the fair values of derivative instruments and their gains and losses in a tabular format should provide a more complete picture of the location in an entity’s financial statements of both the derivative positions existing at period end and the effect of using derivatives during the reporting period. Disclosing information about credit-risk-related contingent features should provide information on the potential effect on an entity’s liquidity from using derivatives. Finally, this Statement requires cross-referencing within the footnotes, which should help users of financial statements locate important information about derivative instruments.
The following is a summary of the fair valuations of the portfolio’s derivative instruments categorized by risk exposure:
| | | | |
At June 30, 2009 | | Derivatives Value |
Strategic Growth | | | | |
Equity Contracts | | $ | 155,447 | |

Note 12 — Indemnifications
Under the Fund’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 Funds enter into contracts with their vendors and others that provide for general indemnifications. The Fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Funds. However, based on experience, the Funds expect this risk of loss to be remote.
Note 13 — Securities Lending
At June 30, 2009, these securities or a portion of these securities are out on loan. The aggregate market value of these loaned securities and the value of the cash collateral the Funds received is as follows:

In our opinion, the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities, including the schedules of investments of Quaker Global Tactical Allocation Fund, Quaker Small-Cap Growth Tactical Allocation Fund, Quaker Strategic Growth Fund, Quaker Capital Opportunities Fund, Quaker Mid-Cap Value Fund and Quaker Small-Cap Value Fund and the schedule of investments and schedule of securities sold short of Quaker Long-Short Tactical Allocation Fund, (constituting Quaker Investment Trust, hereafter referred to as the “Trust”), and the related statements of operations and of changes in net assets and the financial highlights present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Trust at June 30, 2009 and the results of each of their operations, the changes in each of their net assets and the financial highlights for each of the periods indicated, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These financial statements and financial highlights (hereafter referred to as “financial statements”) are the responsibility of the Trust’s management; our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits of these financial statements 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 are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits, which included confirmation of securities at June 30, 2009 by correspondence with the custodian and brokers, provide a reasonable basis for our opinion. The financial statements of Quaker Long-Short Tactical Allocation Fund as of September 30, 2008, and for the fiscal years ended through September 30, 2008, were audited by other auditors whose report dated November 24, 2008 expressed an unqualified opinion on those statements.

86 | 2009 ANNUAL REPORT
Board Consideration of the Investment Advisory and Sub-Advisory Agreements
In conjunction with the launch of a new series, the Quaker Long-Short Tactical Allocation Fund (the “Long-Short Fund”), of the Quaker Investment Trust (the “Trust”), the Board of Trustees (the “Board”), including the Trustees who are not interested parties of the Trust (the “Independent Trustees”) considered a new Sub-Advisory Agreement between Quaker Funds, Inc. (“QFI” or the “Adviser”) and Rock Canyon Advisory Group, Inc. (“Rock Canyon”) with respect to the Long-Short Fund at a meeting held on February 19, 2009.
Further, at an April 17, 2009 Special Meeting, the Board of the Trust approved the termination of Bjurman, Barry & Associates as investment sub-adviser to the Small-Cap Growth Tactical Allocation Fund (the “Small-Cap Growth Fund”) and the hiring of Century Management (“Century”) as interim investment sub-adviser to the Small-Cap Growth Fund. Subsequently, at an in-person meeting held on April 30, 2009, the Board considered and approved a definitive Investment Sub-Advisory Agreement between QFI and Century on behalf of the Small-Cap Growth Fund.
In arriving at their decisions to approve the Sub-Advisory Agreements with Rock Canyon and Century, (together the “New Sub-Advisory Agreements”) the Board considered a variety of information concerning Rock Canyon and Century, respectively including: (1) the nature, extent and quality of service provided to the Funds; (2) the level of the sub-advisory fees to be charged under the New Sub-Advisory Agreements; (3) the compliance programs of the sub-advisers; (4) and any “fall out” or ancillary benefits enjoyed by Rock Canyon and/or Century as a result of their relationships with the respective Funds.
In examining the nature, extent and quality of the services to be provided under the New Sub-Advisory Agreements, the Board considered the quality of the portfolio management services that were to be provided to the Funds; the depth, experience and demonstrated consistency in investment approach of the portfolio management teams; and the quality of Rock Canyon and Century’s respective reputations.
After evaluation of the comparative performance, fee and expense information and the profitability, ancillary benefits and other considerations as described above, and in light of the nature, extent and quality of services to be provided under the New Sub-Advisory Agreements, the Board concluded that the level of fees to be paid were reasonable.
Based on the totality of the information considered, the Board concluded that the Long-Short Fund and the Small-Cap Growth Fund were likely to benefit from the nature, extent and quality of Rock Canyon and Century’s services, respectively, and that both Rock Canyon and Century have the ability to continue to provide these services based on their experience, operations and resources.
In voting unanimously to approve the New Sub-Advisory Agreements with Rock Canyon and Century based on the various considerations discussed above, the Board determined that the approval of the New Sub-Advisory Agreements was in the best interests of each Fund. As a result, the Board, including a majority of the Independent Trustees, approved the New Sub-Advisory Agreements.
At a meeting held on April 30, 2009, the Independent Trustees of the Board of the Trust considered the continuation of the Investment Advisory Agreement between the Trust and QFI, and each of the respective Sub-Advisory Agreements between QFI and Aronson +Johnson+Ortiz, LP., DG Capital Management, Knott Capital Management and Kennedy Capital Management, Inc. (collectively the “Agreements”) with regard to each Fund, at a meeting held on April 30, 2009. At the meeting, the Independent Trustees reported to the full Board their considerations with respect to the Agreements, and the Board, including a majority of Independent Trustees, considered and approved the renewal of the Agreements.
In arriving at their decision to renew the Agreements, the Board, including the Independent Trustees, considered a variety of information concerning QFI and each sub-adviser. In considering the continuation of the Agreements, the Board, including the Independent Trustees, considered the nature and quality of the services provided by QFI and each of the sub-advisers, the proposed fee structures, the level of fee waivers, each Fund’s past and anticipated expense ratios, possible economies of scale resulting from increases in the size of the Funds and other possible benefits QFI and each of the sub-advisers derived from their relationships with the Funds. The Board, including the Independent Trustees, carefully analyzed the information provided to them by QFI, each of the sub-advisers, and independent third parties, focusing particularly on the level of advisory fees and expenses of each Fund compared with information for similar funds, and the performance of each Fund compared to funds with similar investment objectives.
2009 ANNUAL REPORT | 87
The Board, including the Independent Trustees, also considered other information that it had received from QFI and each of the sub-advisers at other meetings throughout the year.
In examining the nature, extent and quality of the services to be provided by QFI, the Board, including the Independent Trustees, considered the portfolio management, administrative and supervisory services provided by QFI. The Board, including the Independent Trustees, acknowledged the value of QFI’s historical performance of services for the Funds. The Board, including the Independent Trustees, noted QFI’s commitment to servicing the Funds as its only client, QFI’s efforts during the past year to reduce Fund expenses, and the nature of the non-investment advisory services provided to the Funds, such as the supervision of the Funds’ other third-party service providers by QFI.
With respect to the nature, extent and quality of the services provided to the Funds by each sub-adviser, the Board including the Independent Trustees, considered the quality of the portfolio management services that each sub-adviser provided to the Funds, the depth, experience and demonstrated consistency in investment approach of each of the sub-advisers’ portfolio management teams, the continued growth in each of the sub-advisers’ personnel responsible for managing the Funds; and the quality of each of the sub-advisers’ reputations. The Board, including the Independent Trustees, further considered each of the sub-advisers’ performance records and their experience in managing another fund complex with similar mutual funds.
Based on the totality of the information considered, the Board, including the Independent Trustees, concluded that the Funds were likely to benefit from the nature, extent and quality of QFI’s and each of the sub-advisers’ services, as applicable, and that QFI and each of the sub-advisers have the ability to continue to provide these services based on their respective experience, operations and resources.
With respect to the Funds’ investment performance, the Board, including the Independent Trustees, reviewed each Fund’s performance compared to both its peer group and relative benchmark indices over one-year, three-year, five-year and since inception periods, as applicable. The Board, including the Independent Trustees, considered factors, including but not limited to the sub-advisers’ management style, that have affected the performance of each Fund relative to its peer group and benchmarks.
With respect to the costs of the services to be provided and profits to be realized by QFI from its relationship with the Funds, the Board, including the Independent Trustees, considered the fact that QFI had agreed to continue to waive its advisory fees to the extent necessary to limit the annualized expenses of each Fund to their assigned expense ratio caps for an additional year. The Board, including the Independent Trustees, also considered that QFI might be able to recoup some of the waived fees in the future. The Board, including Independent Trustees, did not consider the relationship between QFI’s advisory fees compared to other accounts that QFI advises, because QFI has no other advisory accounts.
The Board, including the Independent Trustees, considered whether there are any ancillary benefits that may accrue to QFI or a sub-adviser resulting from their relationship with the Funds. Based on the information provided, the Board, including the Independent Trustees, noted that there did not appear to be any significant benefits in this regard.
After evaluation of the comparative performance, fee and expense information and the profitability, ancillary benefits and other considerations as described above, and in light of the nature, extent and quality of services to be provided by QFI and each of the sub-advisers, the Board, including the Independent Trustees, concluded that the level of fees to be paid to QFI and each of the sub-advisers was reasonable.
In voting unanimously to approve the Agreements based on the various considerations discussed above, the Board, including the Independent Trustees, determined that the approval of the Agreements was in the best interests of the Funds. As a result, the Board, including a majority of the Independent Trustees, approved the Agreements.
