Performance Update
Quaker Akros Absolute Return Fund (AARFX, QASDX, QASIX)
OBJECTIVES AND PRINCIPAL STRATEGIES
The Quaker Akros Absolute Return Fund (the “Fund”) seeks to provide long-term capital appreciation and income while seeking to protect principal during unfavorable market conditions.
PERFORMANCE REVIEW AND MARKET OUTLOOK
For the fiscal year ended June 30, 2011, the Fund fell 0.93%, while the S&P 500® Total Return Index (“S&P 500”) gained 30.69% for the year. For the six months ended June 30, 2011, the Fund was down 1.12%, while the S&P 500 returned 6.02%.
Clearly, the Fund has been treading water (with very low volatility relative to the S&P 500 Index) for much of the past year. This has been the result of two main factors. The first factor has been the Fund’s equity exposure, which on a net basis has been very modest for most of the year, ranging from slightly under 10% to almost 40% (for a very brief period of time). The second factor regarding performance has been the nature of the Fund’s long and short positions. The Fund’s long positions have consisted mainly of what we consider to be high-quality, value-oriented stocks. Conversely, the Fund’s short positions have been mostly stocks and indices that we view as overpriced and more speculative. Unfortunately, the latter positions overall have outperformed the former during the past year. Although it was not a surprise to us that speculative stocks exhibited strong outperformance after the 2009 market bottom (as often occurs early in stock market rebounds), the duration of the outperformance has been uncharacteristic and therefore somewhat unexpected. With that said, we’re more convinced than ever that reasonably priced stocks will be the better performers over the short to intermediate term going forward.
We believe that low interest rates have encouraged otherwise conservative savers to speculate in the stock market, and we expect that the interest rate environment will play a major role in equity returns over the months ahead. For this reason, our main considerations in determining the Fund’s net-equity exposure will include the prevailing bond and money-market yields.
Going forward, we believe it makes sense to own some selectively chosen, reasonably priced stocks with decent growth rates in the following areas: large-cap technology, health care, specialty financial services, energy and mining. As we prepare for a less robust economic environment during the coming months, we expect to avoid or sell short stocks that are not growing fast enough to justify their valuations in these areas: consumer discretionary (cyclicals), homebuilding, small-cap (highly speculative technology and lower-quality industrials (cyclicals) with weak balance sheets. In the market environment that we foresee, security selection should become increasingly important. We believe that our value-oriented approach with securities on the long side – combined with our hedging (short positions) in more expensive, higher-risk securities – is going to pay off during the next several quarters.
We remain cautious of adverse conditions and are sensitive to the importance of liquidity, good balance sheets and value in our security selection. We are also willing to quickly adjust the Fund’s long holdings and/or increase our market-risk hedges if necessary. Additionally, our skills at moving in and out of securities as they fluctuate within trading ranges should be a valuable attribute during a more volatile market environment. The most important cues that we’re focused on are interest rates, credit spreads and the value of the U.S. dollar. By monitoring these key indicators, we believe we will be able to anticipate any major adverse activity in the equity markets. As June came to a close, we saw a significant drop in longer-term interest rates and the end of quantitative easing. For the time being, this accommodative interest rate environment and some attractive valuations on a select group of stocks have kept us in a more positive and constructive mode that we would otherwise be.

Performance Update
Quaker Event Arbitrage Fund (QEAAX, QEACX, QEAIX)
OBJECTIVES AND PRINCIPAL STRATEGIES
The Quaker Event Arbitrage Fund (the “Fund”) seeks to provide long-term growth of capital. The Fund generally invests in the securities of publicly traded companies involved in mergers, takeovers, tender offers, leveraged buyouts, spin-offs, liquidations or similar events.
PERFORMANCE REVIEW AND MARKET OUTLOOK
For the fiscal year ended June 30, 2011, Class A shares of the Fund returned 0.47% whereas the S&P 500 Total Return Index (“S&P 500”) returned 30.69%. While the equity market gyrated over the last year, the Fund’s volatility was roughly three quarters lower than that of the S&P 500. Much of this stability can be attributed to the strong weighting given to capital structure arbitrage and merger arbitrage throughout the year. More recently, the Fund’s allocation to distressed securities and proxy fight investments has been increased. These strategies typically are associated with more upside potential and higher standard deviations.
The opportunities that the portfolio management team found throughout the year, and continues to see, in merger arbitrage were mostly in event-driven mergers, which consisted of bidding wars or hostile transactions. Classic merger arbitrage, where a transaction has a high certainty of closing with a small spread over a short period of time, provided annualized returns that the management team deemed insufficient to compensate the Fund for the risk taken. However, in event-driven merger arbitrage better opportunities were available that provided attractive rewards given the level of risk taken.
For distressed securities most opportunities were found in distressed mortgage-backed securities. Given the lax monetary conditions, it was easy for companies to borrow; therefore, there were relatively few corporate bonds in distress. Most of the economic distress in the economy was found at the household level as a direct consequence of past government policies. As banks continue to liquidate the enormous overhang of mortgage backed securities from their balance sheets, the portfolio management team anticipates that opportunities will persist for some time and that this part of the portfolio will likely have a positive contribution to performance.
As companies need to grow through acquisitions, activist investors may find many poorly managed companies that are prospective acquisition targets. In the case of such a company, a proxy campaign can potentially not only unlock the hidden value but also provide a control premium once the company is sold. Therefore, the Fund has recently increased its allocation to proxy fights after holding it at lower levels for most of the last year. The portfolio management team believes that going forward some of the best opportunities will be found in this segment of the portfolio.
In capital structure arbitrage, liquidations and other situations, we will allocate to specific events as opportunities arise.
I wish all investors a prosperous year and thank you for your continued support.

Performance Update
Quaker Global Tactical Allocation Fund (QTRAX, QTRCX, QTRIX)
OBJECTIVES AND PRINCIPAL STRATEGIES
The Quaker Global Tactical Allocation Fund (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, 2011, the MSCI World Index (“MSCI World”) (a global market proxy) gained 30.51% while the Fund finished the fiscal year with a gain of 26.86%. For the first half of the 2011 calendar year, the MSCI World rose 5.29% while the Fund gained 2.74%.
During the first half of the year, emerging markets experienced bear markets with the Indian, Chinese and Brazilian stock markets down double digits before recovering at the end of the period. Due to accelerating inflationary pressures, monetary authorities raised interest rates which led to inverted yield curves and hence the resultant stock market declines. Going forward, we believe that near term inflation expectations will remain elevated leading to tight monetary conditions in emerging markets; however, over the long-term, the growth fundamentals in those markets continue to remain very attractive. As an example, it is estimated that China’s domestic market retail sales are expected to double from last year’s 15 trillion yuan to as much as 30 trillion yuan in five years, implying a compound annual growth rate of nearly 15%, almost twice the GDP growth estimated over the same period. The story remains the same in other emerging markets: indications are that domestic consumption will continue to grow faster than their overall economic growth as per capita incomes rise in those countries. While the Fund has had only minor direct equity exposure to emerging markets for the first half of the year, the Fund continues to own many domestic and developed market companies that (via exports) have been capitalizing on the strength in consumer consumption in the developing world.
The Fund is positioned to take advantage of those trends by investing in companies like Toyota Motor (Chinese people already buy more cars than people in any other country: 13.5 million last year to America’s 11.6 million). Other companies in the portfolio that may benefit from increasing consumption in emerging markets are Mead Johnson (which has 30% top line growth selling infant nutrition products in China and is also expanding in the Philippines and South America), Anheuser Busch InBev and Intercontinental Hotels. Other not too obvious beneficiaries of increasing per capita income growth in emerging markets could be insurance brokers (we hold AON Corp as an example) when more insurance is sold as the middle class expands. The rise in car purchases will likely lead to increased demand for transportation fuels and we are overweight the energy sector (not to ignore the fact that natural gas demand will continue to rise as China moves to a more green economy as per their latest five year plan). We also own agricultural stocks that look to benefit from the increasing desire for protein consumption in emerging markets (recently China made a huge purchase of U.S. corn in order to feed their expanding livestock herd). Finally, we own consumer discretionary (retail) stocks in the portfolio that are building out their international footprint and can do so without physical plant outlays (i.e. by building direct to consumer channels). Williams-Sonoma and Amazon.com are examples here. Also, we have kept our tactical allocation to cash flow (it’s currently at 4.1%) given the many areas in which we are finding attractive valuations.

Quaker Long-Short Tactical Allocation Fund (QLSAX, QLSCX, QLSIX)
OBJECTIVES AND PRINCIPAL STRATEGIES
The Quaker Long-Short Tactical Allocation Fund (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
U.S. domestic equity markets, as measured by the S&P 500 Total Return Index (“S&P 500”), finished the year ended June 30, 2011 up an impressive 30.69% while the Quaker Long-Short Tactical Allocation Fund (the “Fund”) was down -23.21%. U.S domestic equity markets finished the first six-months of 2011 flat with the S&P 500 up 6.02% while the Fund was down -12.95%. The year began with a continuation of the recent market advances; however, the market reached its top (so far) in late April and has since given back all of the April gains amidst the bi-directional volatility in May and June.
Indeed, we have been among the minority of investors who believe that the actions of the Federal Reserve Bank over the last eighteen months have ultimately added risk, rather than reduced it, and will ultimately serve as a drag on the economy rather than boost it in the long run. We continue to believe that the Fund is well positioned; however, we are disappointed by our returns.
June was particularly volatile as the markets tried to assess and digest the proximity and scope of the financial risks on the horizon both domestically and abroad. The month ended with optimist votes erasing much of the damage suffered earlier in the month as investors worried about sovereign debt levels and the U.S. led global economy.
We continue to assess extreme risk on the global economic and financial landscape and continue to position the Fund defensively. We anticipate extended market volatility ahead with the strong possibility of abrupt and significant declines, against which we will try to position the Fund as our investment models dictate.
While we are not pleased with the Fund’s performance; however, we feel we have invested with integrity to the model and to what we are seeing on the landscape and within the perspective of multiple cycles and secular periods.

Performance Update
Quaker Small-Cap Growth Tactical Allocation Fund (QGASX, QGCSX, QGISX)
OBJECTIVES AND PRINCIPAL STRATEGIES
The Quaker Small-Cap Growth Tactical Allocation Fund (the “Fund”) seeks to provide long-term growth of capital. The Fund invests at least 80% of its total assets in common stocks, American Depository Receipts (“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 (the “Russell 2000 Index”).
PERFORMANCE REVIEW AND MARKET OUTLOOK
Coming into the new fiscal year since its inception, Class A shares of the Fund exceeded the Russell 2000 Index returns by over fifteen hundred basis points. By the end of the year, the situation had reversed, and the returns since inception for the Russell 2000 Index exceed those of the Fund by over seventeen hundred basis points! What a difference a year makes!
During the fiscal year ending June 30, 2011, the Fund’s performance increased 7.79% while the Russell 2000 Index increased 43.50%.
The purpose of the Fund is to allow investors to participate in a perceived risky marketplace of small-cap growth stocks, while seeking to avoid the volatility (and losses) associated with them. From its inception, the Fund has had an absolute return strategy that involves a very disciplined buying strategy that defaults to cash when appropriate investments are not available. Often this means the portfolio will default to own cash. Additionally, to modulate the volatility and to avoid downside risk, the Fund will sell the Russell 2000 Index short against its equity holdings.
Some of the Fund’s underperformance can be attributed to strategic short selling discipline that was employed during July of 2010.
In addition, the shortfall of the Fund can also be traced to two other factors that in total created a perfect storm of underperformance. First, the Fund was invested in companies that were expected to have the fastest growing earnings of the small cap universe. These did significantly worse than slower growing companies. Second, the Fund was overweighted in micro cap stocks, those companies in the lowest 40% market capitalization. These did significantly worse that the largest companies in the universe. In fact, well more than one half of the returns in the Russell 2000 Index came from companies whose market capitalization exceeded one billion dollars.
Because of these two outcomes, the fourth quarter of 2010 was very substandard. The Russell 2000 Index returned 17.11%, while the Fund only returned 1.28%. This outcome of the Fund did not result from an overly cautious equity exposure and a lot of cash. Rather, the outcome occurred simply because the equities in the portfolio did not perform well.
Increasing inflationary threats have historically damaged small-cap growth stocks. The perceived new inflation that is signaled by rising commodity prices (especially oil), a falling dollar, and rising gold prices could exact a heavy discounting toll on small, fast growing stocks. The fact is that gold rose over 10% to new highs during the fourth quarter of 2010, signaling investors about the increased inflationary threats, which, in turn reduced the multiples on these small companies and prevented a natural rise in prices. These investors focused their attention on the largest of small cap stocks and the ones which had a significantly slower growth of their earnings’ horizon.
The Fund will continue to seek positive returns no matter the market environment. It will maintain its disciplined buying, selling, and shorting strategy to avoid significant downside risk.

Performance Update
Quaker Strategic Growth Fund (QUAGX, QAGCX, QAGIX)
OBJECTIVES AND PRINCIPAL STRATEGIES
The Quaker Strategic Growth Fund (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, 2011, the S&P 500® Total Return Index (“S&P 500”) (a broad based market proxy) gained 30.69% while the Class A shares of the Fund finished the fiscal year with a total return of 24.01%. For the first half of calendar year 2011, the S&P 500 gained 6.02% while the Fund rose 0.98%.
Much of the last 12 months (except for the very beginning and very end) was characterized by a “risk on” trading pattern. This was fostered by accommodative fiscal measures and reinforced by strong micro fundamentals in the form of improving corporate earnings reports on the domestic front and growth in developing and most non-European developed markets. In the second half of 2010, markets were supported by a quantitative easing program (QE2) instituted by the Federal Reserve in an effort to moderate interest rates. This latest intervention along with reports of economic strength helped support a fragile market that whipsawed its way through much of the first half of the year, buffeted by sovereign debt worries in the Euro area and increased government legislative and regulatory intrusion at home (as well as a flash crash to add more uncertainty). In the first half of 2011, markets continued to be resilient with the S&P 500 gaining over 6% in spite of an earthquake and tsunami in Japan, continued unrest in the Middle East and North Africa, a fast approaching debt ceiling that could force the U.S. government into default and the slow unraveling of the eurozone. While macro concerns abounded, investor sentiment continued to be upbeat in light of solid earnings results, increased merger activity and improving economic results (particularly in manufacturing and exports), continuation of QE2 and an early Christmas present in the form of an extension on Bush era tax rates and a temporary reduction in the payroll tax that was instituted at the end of 2010.
All sectors posted strong gains for the year with the energy and materials sectors (both overweights in the portfolio) advancing the most and financials, technology and utilities (all underweights) trailing most other sectors. During the last 12 months the portfolio was helped by stock picks in the consumer discretionary and financial sectors and hurt by stock picks in energy and materials, as well as cash drag.
We feel that earnings growth can continue in spite of macroeconomic challenges. Sectors and companies that can maintain cash flow despite (or by avoiding) headwinds like rising input costs, weak job and income growth, poor pricing power and weak domestic economic growth should be able to outperform. As the dollar remains weak, companies with sizable international exposure (especially those doing business in countries with favorable tax treatments and stronger economic growth) may be at an advantage. The technology, materials and energy sectors, for example, meet many of these criteria. While financials once again benefit from a steep yield curve, easy year over year comparisons are waning, mortgage loan write-offs continue and regulatory burdens are beginning to bite dampening the outlook for the sector. Also, the defensive areas that have performed well in the recent “risk off” pullback (consumer staples and healthcare) also have higher hurdles ahead (higher commodity costs will encumber domestic consumer staples firms and the regulatory burdens of Obamacare are quickly approaching for healthcare).
Overall, we believe a low growth environment coupled with volatile input prices and limited pricing power will likely result in a strong divergence in operating results, yet with continued upside potential for the market. Given these conditions we believe that experienced managers using fundamental stock selection should be able to differentiate companies that can maintain their earnings growth from those that cannot produce good results going forward.

Performance Update
Quaker Capital Opportunities Fund (QUKTX, QCOCX, QCOIX)
OBJECTIVES AND PRINCIPAL STRATEGIES
The Quaker Capital Opportunities Fund (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
The Fund underperformed the S&P 500 Total Return Index (“S&P 500”) for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2011. For the year ended June 30, 2011, the S&P 500 returned 30.69% while Class A shares of the Fund returned 18.02%. Accurate economic forecasting often takes more than a single year to play out and the current decoupling of equity markets and economic fundamentals has naturally led investors to question the correlation between the two. Over longer periods of time (minimum 3 years), it is easier to see how the economic analysis we perform accrues significant value to our investment process.
During this past fiscal year, as unemployment rates continued to climb and home prices continued to decline, how was it possible that the Consumer Discretionary sector was one of the best performing sectors of the S&P 500? The answer is that, over short periods of time, factors including shifting sentiment and price momentum can override fundamentals, ultimately leading to anomalies in stock market behavior. This also notably occurred in 2006, when we took a decidedly negative view on the housing and mortgage industry. Alpha that we “gave up” in 2006 was quickly recouped in 2007 when the subprime contagion became undeniable. We feel that 2011 could be similar to 2007, in that much of the portfolio positioning which did not add value in 2010 could earn its keep in 2011, and the momentum-driven environment may give way to those sectors, industries and stocks that are more in line with today’s tenuous economic realities.
Throughout 2010, high beta, financially leveraged stocks handily outperformed their higher quality brethren. After the market had been up a relieving 26% in 2009, we stubbornly focused on the still-fragile economic data and entered the fiscal year with decidedly less greedy portfolio characteristics that included a beneath market Price-to-Earnings ratio (11.1), P/E to Growth ratio (0.87) and beta (0.79), along with strong financial quality characteristics. We have seen the interplay between economic cycles and stock market run-ups in the past. Therefore, our tactic of staying with high quality stocks with steady fundamentals and attractive valuations struck us as entirely sensible, and the best way to participate in stock market returns while protecting investor capital. Instead, as John Maynard Keynes said about diverging from the consensus, we were “not shown much mercy” versus the S&P 500.
Historically, we have found investment success in not participating in the market “trades,” instead opting for the principled approach that leads to returns our clients have come to understand and appreciate. We contritely admit to underestimating the market’s ability to narrowly focus on the liquidity provided by the Federal Reserve’s zero percent interest-rate policy and push higher that which was already expensive, while avoiding that which was cheap. With top holdings last summer such as IBM, Air Products, Google, Abbott Labs, and Microsoft, we did expect to see steady performance but did not expect a wide, negative divergence from the benchmark.

Quaker Mid-Cap Value Fund (QMCVX, QMCCX, QMVIX)
OBJECTIVES AND PRINCIPAL STRATEGIES
The Quaker Mid-Cap Value Fund (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 (“Russell Index”).
PERFORMANCE REVIEW AND MARKET OUTLOOK
For the period from July 1, 2010 through June 30, 2011, the Fund generated a gain of 33.69% versus a gain of 34.28% for the Russell Index. Every sector in the benchmark and the Fund posted positive returns. Relative performance was helped by stock selection, particularly in the technology, energy and materials sectors. The past year witnessed another strong year as the market continued to recover from the devastating bear market of 2008 and early 2009. We are pleased with how the Fund has performed versus its benchmark and how it has more than doubled its net asset value (NAV) from its lows of March 2009. We remain committed to our research process, and we believe our bottom-up approach to investing is well-suited for periods of uncertainty and volatility. As we enter the new reporting period, we remain optimistic that your Fund is well-positioned.
We believe our investment process continues to find attractive investment opportunities despite a still somewhat uncertain economic environment. We continue to focus on companies able to generate superior returns on invested capital and the ability to reinvest earnings back into their business. We strongly believe these companies are best able to create long-term value for shareholders.

Performance Update
Quaker Small-Cap Value Fund (QUSVX, QSVCX, QSVIX)
OBJECTIVES AND PRINCIPAL STRATEGIES
The Quaker Small-Cap Value Fund (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, 2011, the Fund’s performance was 43.24%, while the Fund’s benchmark, the Russell 2000® Index (a broad-based cross-section of the entire U.S. small-cap market) returned 37.41%. 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; management measures seek evidence that company management has produced 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.
All three categories of attractiveness contributed to the Fund’s excess return, in an amplified way. However, the biggest theme this fiscal year was the contribution from our stock picks within the energy sector where our search for effective management and positive momentum contributed handsomely to the Fund’s bottom line. Our value tilt was also rewarding, especially within the financial sector, and particularly value as measured by forecasted earnings yield.
Our limited industry bets, driven by our bottom-up stock selection, proved to be another contributor to the Fund’s excess return. Specifically, our minor bets against banks and media companies and a slight allocation in favor of chemical companies were among the most productive positions.
We take comfort in what appears to be a return to rational valuation and remain firm in our conviction that superior results can be achieved through a consistent, systematic approach that focuses on low-priced companies with proven management and earnings power.

Expense Information
As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including applicable sales charges and redemption fees; and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees, distribution (12b-1) fees and other Fund expenses. This example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other funds. The example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the (six-month) period and held for the entire period January 1, 2011 through June 30, 2011.
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”), 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 nine series: Quaker Akros Absolute Return Fund (formerly, Quaker Akros Absolute Strategies Fund) (“Akros Absolute Return”), Quaker Event Arbitrage Fund (“Event Arbitrage”), 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”). All Funds are diversified with the exception of Akros Absolute Return, Event Arbitrage, Long-Short Tactical Allocation and Capital Opportunities. 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. 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. 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 Event Driven Fund commenced operations on September 19, 2002. The Akros Absolute Return commenced operations on October 4, 2010 in conjunction with the reorganization of the Akros Absolute Return Fund (“Absolute Return Fund”). The predecessor Absolute Return Fund commenced operations on September 30, 2005. 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.
Effective March 25, 2011, the Board approved changing the name of the Quaker Akros Absolute Strategies Fund to the Quaker Akros Absolute Return Fund. There have been no changes to the investment objective or strategies of the Fund.
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; and Institutional Class Shares bear no front-end sales charge or contingent deferred sales charge (“CDSC”), but have higher minimum investment thresholds.
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 (“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 (other than short-term obligations) 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 of Trustees.
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
2011 ANNUAL REPORT | 89
Notes to the Financial Statements
Note 2 — Summary of Significant Accounting Policies and Other Information (Continued)
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.
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. Management has reviewed the tax positions for each of the four open tax years as of June 30, 2011 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. 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.
The 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.
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. The Funds may write covered options for hedging purposes or to close out a position. When a 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. Each 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
90 | 2011 ANNUAL REPORT
Note 2 — Summary of Significant Accounting Policies and Other Information (Continued)
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.
F. 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.
Akros Absolute Return, Event Arbitrage, Long-Short Tactical Allocation and Capital Opportunities are not “diversified” Funds, which means that the Funds may allocate their investments to a relatively small number of issuers or to a single industry, making the Funds more susceptible to adverse developments of a single issuer or industry. As a result, investing in the Funds is potentially more risky than investing in a diversified fund that is otherwise similar to the Funds.
G. 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.
H. Expense Allocations. Expenses that are not series (Fund) specific are allocated to each series based upon its relative proportion of net assets to the Trust’s total net assets.
I. Distributions to Shareholders. Each Fund generally declares dividends at least 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.
J. 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.
K. 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 102% of the 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.
L. Derivative Instruments. Effective June 30, 2009, the Funds 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 adoption of the additional disclosure requirements did not materially impact the Funds’ financial statements.
The Funds traded financial instruments where they are considered to be a seller of credit derivatives in accordance with authoritative guidance under GAAP on derivatives and hedging.
The fair value of derivative instruments and whose primary underlying risk exposure is equity price risk at June 30, 2011 was as follows:

M. Fair Value of Financial Instruments. 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.
Level I — Quoted prices in active markets for identical securities.
Level II — Other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar investments, 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).
Equity and option securities for which market quotations are readily available, are valued at the last reported sale price and are categorized as Level 1. Investments in open-end mutual funds are valued at their closing net asset value each business day and are categorized as Level 1. Short-term securities with remaining maturities of sixty days or less are valued at amortized cost, which approximates fair market value and are categorized as Level 1.

Note 2 — Summary of Significant Accounting Policies and Other Information (Continued)
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 4:00p.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 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 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.
The following is a summary of the fair valuations according to the inputs used as of June 30, 2011 in valuing the Fund’s assets and liabilities:

Notes to the Financial Statements
Note 2 — Summary of Significant Accounting Policies and Other Information (Continued)
There have been no significant transfers in and out of Level 1 and Level 2 fair value measurements during the year ended June 30, 2011 for all of the Funds, except for Event Arbitrage.
Significant transfers between Level 2 and Level 3 included securities valued at $2,219,857 in the Event Arbitrage Fund, included in Level 3 that had previously been included in Level 2 at June 30, 2010. These changes were primarily the result of securities using a systematic fair value model at the period end but not at June 30, 2010.
The following is a reconciliation of assets for which significant unobservable inputs (Level 3) were used in determining fair value during the period September 1, 2010, through June 30, 2011.

Note 7 — Tax Matters (Continued)
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, 2011, the capital loss carryovers for the Funds were as follows:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |

On December 22, 2010, the Regulated Investment Company Modernization Act of 2010 (the “Act”) was enacted. Under the Act, net capital losses may be carried forward indefinitely, and their character is retained as short term and/or long-term losses. Previously, net capital losses were carried forward for eight years and treated as short term losses. As a transition rule, the Act requires that postenactment net capital losses be used before pre-enactment net capital losses. As a result of this ordering rule, pre-enactment capital loss carryforwards may expire unused, whereas under the previous rules these losses may have been utilized. This change is effective for fiscal years beginning after the date of enactment.

Note 12 — 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, the risk of loss from such claims is considered remote.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Board of Trustees and Shareholders of Quaker Investment Trust:
In our opinion, the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities, including the schedules of investments of Quaker Small-Cap Growth Tactical Allocation Fund, Quaker Strategic Growth Fund, Quaker Capital Opportunities Fund, Quaker Mid-Cap Value Fund, Quaker Global Tactical Allocation Fund and Quaker Small-Cap Value Fund and the schedules of investments and schedules of securities sold short of Quaker Akros Absolute Return Fund, Quaker Event Arbitrage Fund and 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, 2011, 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, 2011 by correspondence with the custodian and brokers, provide a reasonable basis for our opinion. The financial highlights for the five periods ended August 31, 2010, the statement of changes in net assets for the two years ended August 31, 2010 and the statement of operations for the year ended August 31, 2010 of Quaker Akros Absolute Return Fund (formerly Akros Absolute Return Fund) were audited by other independent accountants whose report dated October 28, 2010, expressed an unqualified opinion on those statements. The statement of changes in net assets for the year ended December 31, 2009 and the financial highlights for the four years ended December 31, 2009 of Quaker Event Arbitrage Fund (formerly Pennsylvania Avenue Event-Driven Fund) were audited by other independent accountants whose report dated March 16, 2010, expressed an unqualified opinion on those statements.

Board consideration of the Investment Advisory and Sub-Advisory Agreements
At a meeting held on April 28, 2011, 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 Akros Capital LLC, Aronson Johnson Ortiz, LP., Century Management Inc., DG Capital Management, Kennedy Capital Management, Inc., Knott Capital Management and Rock Canyon Advisory Group, Inc. (collectively the “Agreements”) with regard to each Fund. 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. Each of the agreements was approved for a one year period with the exception of the Knott Capital Management and Rock Canyon Advisory Group, Inc. agreements which were approved for a six-month period.
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 and each of the sub-advisers, 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. 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. With respect to the Quaker Capital Opportunities Fund, in particular, the Board considered the continued turnover in personnel at the Fund’s sub-adviser as well as the pending purchase of the sub-adviser by another firm. The Board discussed the recommendation of QFI that the Board replace the Fund’s sub- adviser. Following the discussion, the Board agreed that QFI should find a replacement for the Fund’s current sub-adviser and that the sub-adviser’s advisory agreement should only be approved for a shortened term pending the search for a new sub-adviser.
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 Quaker Long-Short Tactical Allocation Fund, in particular, the Board discussed the Fund’s continued underperformance, its small asset size, and the lack of prospects for growth in asset size and new shareholders. The Board also determined that based on their prior discussion with QFI, the Fund was unlikely to reach levels of adequate economies of scale, which, in essence, meant it was unlikely that the Fund would be an optimally efficient investment vehicle for shareholder assets. As a result, the Board requested that QFI explore certain strategic alternatives for the Fund.
With respect to the costs of the services to be provided and profits to be realized by QFI from its relationship with the Trust, 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.
114 | 2011 ANNUAL REPORT
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.
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.
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.
Additionally, at a Special Telephonic Meeting held on June 15, 2011, the Board of the Trust approved the termination of Knott Capital Management as investment sub-adviser to the Capital Opportunities Fund and the hiring of ICC Capital Management (“ICC”) as interim investment sub-adviser to the Capital Opportunities Fund, effective July 1, 2011.
In considering the sub-advisory agreement, the Independent Trustees considered: (i) the nature, extent and quality of the services to be rendered by ICC; (ii) the experience and qualifications of the personnel providing such services; (iii) the proposed fee structure, the existence of any fee waivers, and the Fund’s anticipated expense ratios in relation to those of other investment companies having comparable investment policies and limitations; (iv) a comparison of the fees charged and services provided by the sub-adviser; (v) the direct and indirect costs that may be incurred and profits to be realized by the sub-adviser and its affiliates in performing services for the Fund, and the basis of determining and allocating these costs; (vi) possible economies of scale arising from the Fund’s size and/or anticipated growth; (vii) other possible benefits to the sub-adviser and its affiliates arising from its relationship with the Trust; and (viii) possible alternative fee structures or bases for determining fees.
The Independent Trustees carefully analyzed the information provided and determined that the compensation and other terms of the interim sub-advisory agreement with ICC would be in the best interests of the Trust’s shareholders.
