Dear Praxis shareholder:
Last year was characterized by steady improvements in U.S. and global economic fundamentals that encouraged investors to embrace equity risk. As a result, returns for stocks across the globe were broadly strong, with U.S. small and large caps leading the way, followed by international developed markets. In contrast, emerging markets stocks fell during the year as investors withdrew money in search of higher returns in the U.S. On the other end of the spectrum, bonds posted their first negative return since 1999, as investors anticipated a shift in Federal Reserve policy leading to higher interest rates.
Of course, the goal of most investors is to achieve a positive return – with success usually measured in annualized percentages. However, a growing number of investors are looking to accomplish more than just a positive return in their portfolios. They’re looking for ways to make a difference through their investments – to improve the quality of life in their local and global communities.
We believe in this very concept at Praxis Mutual Funds – so much so that we approach our investment strategy through stewardship investing, a philosophy of financial decision-making that balances social and financial considerations and is motivated and informed by our company’s faith convictions. Our focus is driven by our core values, which include the need to respect the dignity and value of all people, demonstrate a concern for justice in a global society and work toward environmental sustainability. At Praxis, we apply this approach to all of our mutual funds.
Especially notable is the Praxis Intermediate Income Fund, which holds more than 10 percent of its assets in high social impact bonds. Some of the most notable purchases made by the Fund include:
• | $2.2 million in United States Agency for International Development (USAID) bonds designated for water and wastewater systems in Egypt. |
• | A $167,000 bond in NextEra Energy Resources to fund multiple wind energy projects operated by FPL Energy National Wind (a subsidiary of NextEra). |
• | An $800,000 bond purchased in Topaz Solar Farms LLC (a subsidiary of MidAmerican Energy Holdings Company) to construct a major solar farm installation in San Luis Obispo County, Calif. |
• | A $750,000 bond in the Pelton Round Butte hydro-project, the only hydroelectric project in the U.S. jointly owned by a Native American tribe (the Confederated Tribes of Warm Springs) and a utility (Portland General Electric Company). The agreement protects important Native American cultural resources, and power from the three dams is an important source of income for both partners. |
• | $1.5 million U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) bond to help support community development and increase access to affordable housing free from discrimination. |
• | $2.5 million in bonds purchased for a green apartment complex in Long Island, N.Y., as part of Fannie Mae’s Multifamily Green Initiative. |
• | $1 million in low-income housing bonds issued by the city of Indianapolis, Ind., to help provide financing or financial assistance toward costs of the acquisition, renovation and equipping of an approximately 360-unit multifamily rental housing project. |
• | $2 million in the second issue of International Finance Facility for Immunization bonds, funding a program to help save millions of children from preventable diseases. |
• | $1 million (in addition to another $1 million through Everence Association) in the latest Green Bond offering from the World Bank, to provide global solutions to climate change, as well as economic opportunities and higher standards of living for people in developing countries. |

Message from the President (continued)
We believe we need to be just as concerned about the impact of our investments on others as we are about the financial returns we receive. Looking ahead, we’re excited about where green bonds and other high social impact investments are heading, and we’re glad to be part of it.
In December, the Praxis Board of Trustees recognized the important work of two outgoing board members: Donald Showalter, who was a charter trustee since the formation of Praxis Mutual Funds in 1994; and Bruce Harder, who served from 2000 to 2013. We are profoundly grateful for their contribution and guidance, and wish them well in their retirement from the Board. We also welcome Dwight Short as a new member to the Board. Mr. Short is a retired Merrill Lynch executive with many years of investment experience, and author of several books, including Kingdom Gains: What Every Christian Should Know Before Investing. We look forward to his involvement with Praxis in the years to come.
On the following pages, you will find portfolio managers’ letters and performance reviews for each of the Praxis Mutual Funds. I encourage you to read these letters for further explanation of our investment strategies and perspectives. In addition, you will find an update on our stewardship investing activities. The work we do on your behalf in company screening, shareholder advocacy and community development are reminders that you are investing in what matters.
Thank you for being an investor with Praxis Mutual Funds. We are able to make a lasting impact on the world because of you. We are doing better together – working to improve our world, one investment at a time. We appreciate your support.
Sincerely,
David C. Gautsche
President

Message from the Director of Stewardship Investing | Annual report to shareholders |
New environmental screening policy incorporates climate risks
Over the years, attention has grown around the impact climate change has on our planet, vulnerable populations and growing businesses. As a result, Praxis revamped its environmental screen to address these concerns and incorporate a wealth of new data related to business impact.
The new environmental screen does not avoid all carbon intensive industries, but assesses the environmental impact of companies. Working with the Intangible Value Assessment system built by MSCI ESG Research, Praxis will examine past environmental practices, current carbon emissions and proven ability to track and manage the climate risks faced by the companies. This expands our analysis beyond identifying which companies had environmental accidents or regulatory judgments against them in the past.
The revised environmental screen adds approximately 175 new companies to the international and domestic restricted lists used by the Praxis Mutual Funds. We routinely assess over 8,000 companies globally across the developed and emerging markets, as part of a stewardship investing philosophy that embraces a wide range of environmental, social, and governance concerns.
As we believe it is important to make a difference, not just a statement, when it comes to the challenging issues facing our world, our new environmental screen is just one part of our response to our changing climate. To learn more about our efforts, visit praxismutualfunds.com.
Positive fixed income investing comes of age – and Praxis takes the lead
While traditionally considered an important but quiet corner of the social investment industry, there has been growing attention to the potential for social impact in fixed income funds. Beyond traditional screening, we have had several opportunities in 2013 to purchase competitively-priced bonds that target a range of positive, social or environmental outcomes. This is a trend that fits well with the Praxis stewardship investing philosophy and one that we’ve eagerly embraced.
At the end of 2013, the Praxis Intermediate Income Fund had more than 10 percent of its assets invested in bonds with a positive, targeted social impact. This is in addition to the approximately 1 percent every Fund in the Praxis fund family places in below-market community development investments that benefit vulnerable communities.
From country-level energy and efficiency projects, to global immunization efforts, to medical research, community infrastructure, green buildings, renewable energy and more, the opportunities to invest in making our world a better place are growing rapidly. And Praxis Mutual Funds has become an acknowledged leader in this space, working directly with bond issuers and participating this fall in an invitation-only consultation, hosted by the World Bank, on the rapidly emerging “green bond” industry.
We are excited about these opportunities to help our clients seek to achieve competitive financial returns while making positive investments in our world.
Shareholder advocacy – focused on modern slavery and environmental sustainability
Praxis shareholder advocacy efforts continued to pursue a wide range of topics related to modern slavery and environmental sustainability. One highlight for 2013 includes our work with Hershey as it grows its responsible sourcing capacity.
For the last three years, Praxis has co-led shareholders in working with Hershey – one of the world’s largest chocolatiers – to shape new solutions to this long-standing problem. As an outgrowth of these conversations and Hershey’s ongoing efforts to address these issues, shareholders are seeing the company take numerous critical steps forward, including:
• | Adding staff to its cocoa sustainability and responsible sourcing programs. |
• | More visibly collaborating with other companies and governments to address the social side of cocoa. |
• | Committing to source 100 percent certified (sustainable and child labor free) cocoa by 2020. Hershey achieved 18 percent certified cocoa by the end of 2013, and is on pace to exceed 40 to 50 percent by the end of 2016. |
• | Reaching more farmers in West Africa through Hershey’s CocoaLink and Learn to Grow programs, helping to improve farmer livelihoods and attentiveness to social issues, as well as helping farmers receive certification from certifying organizations. |
3
Message from the Director of Stewardship Investing (continued) | Annual report to shareholders |
Certified cocoa is required to meet comprehensive sustainability standards designed to protect the environment, people and communities. Hershey has stated that it intends to use a third-party certification system to ensure its cocoa is grown sustainably and without the use of forced and child labor. As a major chocolate company, we believe Hershey is helping to move the world cocoa market to higher social and environmental standards and transparency.
Praxis Mutual Funds are involved in more than a dozen corporate engagements at any given time. Visit praxismutualfunds.com to learn more about our current shareholder advocacy efforts.

Praxis Intermediate Income Fund
Annual report to shareholders
Portfolio Managers’ Commentary
For the calendar year 2013, the Praxis Intermediate Income Fund’s Class I Shares lost 1.26 percent and the Class A shares (without load) lost 1.65 percent versus the Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index, which lost 2.03 percent.
The Fund and the benchmark were hurt by rising interest rates, which is one of the major risks for an investment grade, fixed income fund. The five-year U.S. Treasury yield rose from 0.72 percent on Dec. 31, 2012, to 1.74 percent on Dec. 31, 2013. With bond coupons at a fixed interest rate, rising interest rates force bond prices to fall to adjust the new yield on the bond to the market’s current interest rate.
While the absolute return was negative, the Fund outperformed its benchmark. Among the positive factors that mitigated the Fund’s loss was its short duration versus its benchmark. Duration measures the percentage change in a bond’s price for a 1 percent change in interest rates. We kept the Fund’s duration shorter than the benchmark’s duration throughout the year, which helped but could not overcome the large increase in interest rates.
Corporate bonds and commercial mortgage backed securities did well as spreads (the yield premium over Treasuries) narrowed. The Fund held more of these than the benchmark. Agency bonds did slightly worse than Treasuries for 2013, which was a slight negative for the fund.
We expect the economy to do better in 2014 than it did in 2013, with a growth rate of 2.25 percent to 2.75 percent versus a preliminary estimate of 1.9 percent in 2013. In addition, the Federal Reserve has announced plans to gradually end the policy of buying large amounts of Treasury bonds and agency mortgage backed securities. We expect this will gradually push interest rates higher in 2014.
In our view, the main driver of this faster growth rate will likely be a strong housing market and fewer reductions in Federal government spending, plus better tax revenues for state and local governments. If these factors are relatively stronger, capital spending by business should improve as well. As always there are risks to this outlook. Among these are declining growth and rising debt in China, the risk of further gridlock in Washington, and a potential adverse market reaction to events in Japan, among others. In general, these risks seem more modest than they have been in the last few years.
We continue to increase the weight in the Fund to bonds that have a positive social impact. The allocation to these positive impact bonds grew from less than 2 percent in 2006 to over 10 percent in 2013. These bonds help to support such areas as affordable housing, renewable energy projects and other “green bonds,” and education, among many others. All of these positive impact bonds meet our risk and return requirements and they also have a positive impact on society.
As we head into 2014, we continue to be focused on mitigating the adverse impact of rising interest rates. While rising interest rates hurt current bond prices, they improve the future income of the Fund as bonds mature, are called, and paydowns occur and the cash is reinvested at higher interest rates. With the short to intermediate duration of the majority of the Fund, this natural turnover will likely allow shareholders to have higher incomes, if interest rates rise as we expect.

Praxis International Index Fund
Annual report to shareholders
Portfolio Managers’ Commentary
Foreign equity markets continued to surge in 2013. The MSCI All Country World ex U.S. Index posted a return of 15.29 percent for the year. The Praxis International Index Fund Class A Shares (without load) closely tracked the index and posted a gain of 13.86 percent.
The Praxis International Index Fund seeks to generate performance that reflects the performance of both foreign developed and emerging equity markets, as measured by the MSCI All Country World ex U.S. Index, the Fund’s benchmark index. The Fund is constructed using optimization techniques to have characteristics similar to the benchmark index. Limitations due to the screens and the lower number of holdings versus the benchmark are expected to cause the Fund’s performance to deviate from the benchmark over short periods of time, but the goal over long periods of time is for the Fund to perform in line with the benchmark before fees.
During the period, these factors, including a difference in timing between the pricing of the securities held by the Fund and the benchmark, had a small positive contribution to the Fund’s returns. However, the results were consistent with our forecasted tracking error – a measure of variability of relative returns – for a fund subject to the constraints we discussed above.

Past performance does not guarantee future results. The performance data quoted represents past performance and current returns may be lower or higher. The investment return and principal value will fluctuate so that an investor’s shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than the original cost. These performance figures do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on fund distributions or the redemption of fund shares. To obtain performance information current to the most recent month end, please visit www.praxismutualfunds.com.
The total returns shown reflect any expenses that were contractually or voluntarily reduced, reimbursed or paid by any party during the periods presented. In such instances, and without this activity, the total returns would have been lower.

Annual report to shareholders
Portfolio Managers’ Commentary
During a period when the U.S. economy gradually showed signs of improvement and Europe tentatively emerged from recession, investors embrace risk and piled into stocks. The sentiment was particularly strong in the U.S. as investors favored small cap stocks that benefit most from a strengthening domestic economy. Still, large company indexes generated returns exceeding 30 percent for the period that included the five-year anniversary of the credit induced crisis of 2008-2009.
The growth and value styles of investing delivered virtually identical performance during the year despite some variation in the sources of the return among the various economic sectors.
The Fund’s Class A Shares (without load) 31.33 percent return underperformed the 31.99 percent return of the benchmark (S&P 500 Value Index). Though on the negative side, this is a smaller variance than experienced in past years. The impact of the fund family screens on returns was minimal over the course of the year.
The mid-December, reconstitution of the benchmark index and our incorporation of fairly significant changes in our environmental screening process caused some shuffling of portfolio holdings. However, we are confident that we will be able to continue to track benchmark returns with continued reduced variability.

Past performance does not guarantee future results. The performance data quoted represents past performance and current returns may be lower or higher. The investment return and principal value will fluctuate so that an investor’s shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than the original cost. These performance figures do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on fund distributions or the redemption of fund shares. To obtain performance information current to the most recent month end, please visit www.praxismutualfunds.com.
The total returns shown reflect any expenses that were contractually or voluntarily reduced, reimbursed or paid by any party during the periods presented. In such instances, and without this activity, the total returns would have been lower.
* | The total return figures shown reflect the maximum sales charge applicable to Class A. |

Annual report to shareholders
Portfolio Managers’ Commentary
During a period when the U.S. economy gradually showed signs of improvement and Europe tentatively emerged from recession, investors embrace risk and piled into stocks. The sentiment was particularly strong in the U.S. as investors favored small cap stocks that benefit most from a strengthening domestic economy. Still, large company indexes generated returns exceeding 30 percent for the period that included the five-year anniversary of the credit induced crisis of 2008-2009.
The growth and value styles of investing delivered virtually identical performance during the year despite some variation in the sources of the return among the various economic sectors.
The Fund’s Class A Shares (without load) 31.72 percent return underperformed the 32.75 percent return of the benchmark (S&P 500 Growth Index). Though on the negative side, this is a smaller variance than experienced in past years. The impact of the fund family screens on returns was minimal over the course of the year.
The mid-December, reconstitution of the benchmark index and our incorporation of fairly significant changes in our environmental screening process caused some shuffling of portfolio holdings. However, we are confident that we will be able to continue to track benchmark returns with continued reduced variability.

The investment return and principal value will fluctuate so that an investor’s shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than the original cost. These performance figures do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on fund distributions or the redemption of fund shares.

Annual report to shareholders
Portfolio Manager’s Commentary
The Praxis Small Cap Fund’s Class A Shares (without load) gained 34.63 percent versus the Russell 2000’s advance of 38.82 percent in 2013. The benchmark’s performance represents one of the strongest performance years in the history of small cap stocks. The market got an additional boost in the latter part of 2013 as investors refocused on improving economic growth after multiple Government influenced uncertainties were finally resolved; namely the Federal Reserve’s decision to “taper,” Janet Yellen being nominated as the next Federal Reserve Chair, and Congress reaching a budget agreement.
The U.S. economy continues to expand and is viewed as now strong enough to allow the Federal Reserve to begin tapering its very accommodative monetary policy. We view this as a positive. Increased output and consumption, improved labor markets, and increased confidence should result in a stronger economy as we enter 2014. The stock market’s gains in 2013 were partially based on this improving outlook. Our positive outlook is not without risks. Global insecurity, high oil prices, fiscal and monetary policy, and the upcoming debt ceiling debate in Washington are just a few of the risks we monitor closely. Overall, we expect the stock market to trend higher as continued economic growth, combined with low interest rates, should support additional corporate profit growth, stock buybacks, dividend increases and additional merger and acquisition activity. That said, a consolidation or pullback would not surprise us given the recent strength in the markets.
The Russell 2000’s strong performance in 2013 was broad based as all sectors posted double digit gains. The Healthcare sector (led by the highly volatile, early cycle Bio-Tech companies) gained more than 50 percent. The defensive Utilities sector, while up, was the laggard for the year. As expected, in a big up market, the best performing areas in the benchmark were the smaller market cap, lower priced, higher beta companies. We saw a leadership transition to the higher quality companies during the back half of 2013 as the more profitable companies, those with the highest return on equity, also outperformed. While the higher quality companies started leading the benchmark, 2013’s advance was clearly led by the lower quality companies. The markets rotation towards higher quality companies is a welcome transition for your high quality focused Fund.
The Fund continued its strong performance that began in May when the market began rotating away from the interest rate theme and towards higher quality companies. For the year, our sector allocation decisions were additive while our stock selection decisions, relative to the benchmark, detracted from our overall results. Our stocks in all sectors contributed positively to our results and the relative performance of our Financials sector stocks was a big contributor. Stock selection weakness relative to the benchmark was present in several sectors but stocks in the Consumer Discretionary sector were especially weak and detracted from our results. Being underweight the underperforming Financials (by being underweight the lagging REIT’s) and underweight the lagging Utilities sector benefitted our sector allocation decisions. Overall, we are pleased with our absolute and relative returns as your high quality Fund was able to keep up in this strong market.
Our investment strategy is to identify competitively advantaged companies that generate strong financial returns with good reinvestment opportunities and purchase these stocks at attractive prices. We believe this strategy of investing in competitively advantaged companies with viable strategies to increase the value of their businesses will continue to be beneficial for our investors. Our goal is to generate superior returns over time relative to our benchmark and to minimize the risk (volatility) of the portfolio.
The management of our investment process truly maximizes our internal, research-intensive investment process. By incorporating the total research capabilities of the firm, we are constantly identifying and analyzing companies that meet our stringent criteria. We believe our consistent investment disciplines have produced a winning investment strategy, and have us well positioned going forward.

Portfolio Managers’ Commentary
During a period when the U.S. economy gradually showed signs of improvement and Europe tentatively emerged from recession, investors embraced risk and piled into stocks. The sentiment was particularly strong in the U.S. as investors favored small cap stocks that benefit most from a strengthening domestic economy. Around the globe, developed markets generated substantial gains while emerging markets faltered on investor concerns about growth and the potentially negative impact of a change in U.S. Federal Reserve policy.
On the other end of the risk spectrum, bonds posted their first negative return since 1999 as investors anticipated a shift in Federal Reserve policy that would lead to higher interest rates.
The strong performance of stocks relative to bonds in the market generally was reflected in the returns of the Genesis allocation funds, with the Genesis Growth Portfolio outperforming the Genesis Conservative Portfolio.
The Genesis Conservative Portfolio’s Class A Shares (without load) 6.28 percent return outperformed the Barclays Aggregate Bond Index’s -2.03 percent return during the year. The Conservative Portfolio’s allocation to stocks, which outperformed bonds by a wide margin, contributed to the Portfolio’s strong relative performance.
The Genesis Balanced Portfolio’s Class A Shares (without load) 15.30 percent return trailed the Russell 3000 Index’s 33.55 percent return during the year. The Balanced Portfolio’s strategic allocation to bonds, which underperformed stocks by a wide margin, hindered the fund from keeping pace with the benchmark.
The Genesis Growth Portfolio’s Class A Shares (without load) 21.28 percent return also trailed the Russell 3000 Index’s 33.55 percent return during the year. Despite a higher allocation to stocks than Genesis Balanced Portfolio, the Growth Portfolio’s modest allocation to bonds kept it from matching the strong returns of the benchmark.
Each of the Portfolios benefited from the relative outperformance of the Class I Shares of the Praxis Value Index and Praxis Intermediate Income Funds versus their respective benchmarks. In contrast, the relative underperformance of the Praxis Small Cap Fund and, to a lesser extent, the Praxis Growth Index and Praxis International Index Funds, versus their respective benchmarks detracted from fund performance.
The underlying investments in the Genesis Portfolios are the other Praxis Mutual Funds, including four equity funds and one fixed income fund, which are held in proportions matching the risk profile of each of the Genesis Portfolios. We take a long-term approach in assigning weights to the various underlying Funds, relying on the premise that higher risk equity funds are expected to generate higher long-term returns than lower risk fixed income investments. This assumption held true during 2013, with the exception that the Praxis International Index Fund’s investments in emerging markets countries, which arguably are the riskiest equity class in the Funds, lost value during the period and dampened the return of the Fund.

1. Organization:
The Praxis Mutual Funds (the “Trust”) is an open-end management investment company established as a Delaware business trust under a Declaration of Trust dated September 27, 1993, as amended and restated December 1, 1993, and is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”). As of December 31, 2013, the Trust consists of the Praxis Intermediate Income Fund, the Praxis International Index Fund, the Praxis Value Index Fund, the Praxis Growth Index Fund, and the Praxis Small Cap Fund, (individually a “Fund”, collectively “the Funds”), the Praxis Genesis Conservative Portfolio, the Praxis Genesis Balanced Portfolio, and the Praxis Genesis Growth Portfolio, (individually a “Portfolio”, collectively “the Portfolios”). The Funds and Portfolios are also referred to individually as the Intermediate Income Fund, International Index Fund, Value Index Fund, Growth Index Fund, Small Cap Fund, Conservative Portfolio, Balanced Portfolio, and Growth Portfolio in the financial statements. Each Fund and Portfolio is a diversified series of the Trust.
As of December 31, 2013, the Funds offer Class A and Class I Shares and the Portfolios offer Class A Shares. Each class of shares in a Fund or Portfolio has identical rights and privileges except with respect to fees paid under the distribution and shareholder servicing agreements, certain other class specific expenses and income, voting rights on matters affecting a single class of shares and the exchange privileges of each class of shares. Class A has a maximum sales charge on purchases of 5.25 percent as a percentage of the original purchase price, except for the Intermediate Income Fund which has a maximum sales charge of 3.75 percent.
2. Significant Accounting Policies:
The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by the Trust in the preparation of its financial statements. The policies are in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). The preparation of financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of income and expenses for the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Securities Valuation:
The Funds and Portfolios record their investments at fair value. Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The valuation techniques used to determine fair value are further described below.
Securities generally are valued at market values determined on the basis of the latest available bid prices in the principal market (closing sales prices if the principal market is an exchange) in which such securities are normally traded. Investments in investment companies are valued at their respective net asset values as reported by such companies. The differences between the cost and market values of investments are reflected as either unrealized appreciation or depreciation.
The Funds use various independent pricing services to value most of their investments. A pricing service would normally consider such factors as yield, risk, quality, maturity, type of issue, trading characteristics, special circumstances and other factors it deems relevant in determining valuations of normal institutional trading units of debt securities and would not rely exclusively on quoted prices. When valuing foreign securities held by the Funds, certain pricing services might use computerized pricing models to systematically calculate adjustments to foreign security closing prices based on the latest market movements. Such pricing models utilize market data that has been obtained between the local market close and the NYSE close to compute adjustments to foreign security close prices. The methods used by the pricing service and the valuations so established will be reviewed by Everence Capital Management, Inc. (the “Adviser”) under general supervision of the Board of Trustees (the “Board”). Securities for which market quotations are not readily available (e.g. an approved pricing service does not provide a price, certain stale prices or an event occurs that materially affects the furnished price) are valued at their fair value as determined in good faith in accordance with consistently applied procedures established by and under the general supervision of the Board. Short-term debt securities of sufficient credit quality maturing in less than 61 days are valued at amortized cost, which approximates fair value. The Portfolio’s investments in the underlying Funds (the “Underlying Funds”) are valued at the closing net asset value per share.
In certain circumstances, the Praxis Mutual Funds Valuation Procedures (“Valuation Procedures”) contemplate the Board’s delegation of the implementation of the Valuation Procedures to the Adviser. In valuing restricted securities under the Valuation Procedures, the Adviser will consider (but is not limited to) certain specific and general factors enumerated in the Valuation Procedures. The Valuation Procedures require that the Adviser report to the Board at each of its regular quarterly meetings regarding valuation of restricted securities and actions taken in connection with the Valuation Procedures.
The Pricing Committee of the Adviser (“Pricing Committee”) has established a policy and methodology, which was approved by the Board, for pricing the Everence Community Investments notes held by several of the Praxis Funds. The methodology takes into consideration the fundamental quality of the notes, the nature and duration of restrictions on the disposition of the securities, and an evaluation of the forces that influence the market in which these securities are purchased and sold. Accordingly, the Pricing Committee applied discounts to the notes, for which there is not an active market, based on the credit quality, maturity, and liquidity characteristics of what the committee determined to be similar securities.

Notes to Financial Statements, continued
The valuation techniques described maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs in determining fair value. These inputs are summarized in the three broad levels listed below:
• | Level 1 — | quoted prices in active markets for identical securities | ||
• | Level 2 — | other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.) | ||
• | Level 3 — | significant unobservable inputs (including the Funds’ and Portfolios’ own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments) |
The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities. For example, short-term debt securities of sufficient credit quality maturing in less than 61 days are valued using amortized cost, in accordance with rules under the 1940 Act. Generally, amortized cost approximates the current fair value of a security, but since the value is not obtained from a quoted price in an active market, such securities are reflected as Level 2.
The Trust determines transfers between fair value hierarchy levels at the reporting period end.
The aggregate value by input level, as of December 31, 2013, for each Fund’s and Portfolio’s investments, as well as a reconciliation of assets for which significant unobservable inputs (Level 3) were used in determining value, are as follows:

Securities Transactions and Related Income:
Changes in holdings of portfolio securities are reflected in the Funds’ and Portfolios’ valuation no later than in the first business day following trade date. For financial reporting purposes, security transactions are accounted for on the trade date on the last business day of the reporting period. Gains or losses realized on sales of securities are determined by comparing the identified cost of the security lot sold with the net sales proceeds. Interest income is recognized on the accrual basis and includes, where applicable, the pro-rata amortization of premium or accretion of discount. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date.
Community Development Investments:
The Board has authorized the Funds to make certain types of community development investments. In connection with the community development investments, the Funds have received from the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) an exemptive order that permits each of the Funds to invest a limited portion of its respective net assets in securities issued by Everence Community Investments, Inc. (“ECI”), an affiliate of the Adviser. ECI is a not-for-profit corporation that was organized specifically to promote community development investing and it seeks to fund its efforts primarily through the sale to investors of interests in certain investment pools that it has established (the “ECI-Notes”). Assets raised through offerings of ECI-Notes are then invested directly in non-profit and not-for-profit community development organizations. Each Fund, in accordance with guidelines established by the Board and in compliance with the SEC’s exemptive order, would be permitted to invest up to 3 percent of its net assets in ECI-Notes. ECI-Notes have certain specific risk factors associated with them. These types of investments offer a rate of return below the prevailing market rate at acquisition and are considered illiquid, unrated and below-investment grade. They also involve a greater risk of default or price decline than investment-grade securities. However, these investments have been determined by the Adviser and the Board as being a beneficial way to carry out each Fund’s goals for stewardship investing at the community level. In addition, these investments are valued in accordance with procedures approved by the Board.
Dividends and Distributions:
Dividends from net investment income are declared and paid monthly for the Intermediate Income Fund and the Portfolios. Dividends from net investment income are declared and paid annually for the International Index Fund, the Value Index Fund, the Growth Index Fund, and the Small Cap Fund. To the extent the Portfolios invest in the Intermediate Income Fund and receive dividends, they will be paid monthly. Distributions of realized gains from the Underlying Funds are recorded on the ex-dividend date or when the Portfolios first learn of the dividend. Distributable net realized capital gains, if any, are declared and distributed at least annually.
The amounts of dividends from net investment income and distributions from net realized gains are determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP. These “book/tax” differences are either considered temporary or permanent in nature. To the extent these differences are permanent in nature, such amounts are reclassified within the composition of net assets based on their federal tax-basis treatment; temporary differences do not require reclassification.
Federal Income Taxes:
It is each Fund’s and Portfolio’s policy to continue to qualify as a regulated investment company by complying with the provisions available to investment companies, as defined in applicable sections of Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code, and to distribute timely all of its net investment company taxable income and net capital gains to shareholders. Therefore, no federal income tax provision is required. Under the applicable foreign tax law, a withholding tax may be imposed on interest, dividends and capital gains earned on foreign investments at various rates. Where available, the Funds will file for claims on foreign taxes withheld.
Redemption Fees:
The Funds and Portfolios will charge a redemption fee of two percent of the total redemption amount if a shareholder sells or exchanges shares after holding them for less than 30 days subject to certain exceptions and limitations described in the Prospectus. Amounts charged are included in Paid in Capital Transactions as disclosed in Note 6 to the Financial Statements.

As of the end of tax year ended December 31, 2013, the following Funds have capital loss carry forwards (“CLCFs”) as summarized in the table below. Under the provisions of the Regulated Investment Company Modernization Act of 2010, CLCFs that originated in a tax year that began before December 23, 2010 (pre-effective CLCFs) may be carried forward, subject to certain limitations, and applied to offset future capital gains, and thus reduce the amount of distributable capital gains, for up to eight succeeding tax years, after which any unutilized CLCFs expire. Pre-effective CLCFs are applied as short-term capital loss regardless of whether the originating capital loss was short term or long term. CLCFs that originate in tax years beginning after December 22, 2010 (post-effective CLCFs), are applied consistent with the character in which they originated as a new loss on the first day of the immediately succeeding tax year, and thus take precedent over the application of pre-effective CLCFs. Post-effective CLCFs can be carried forward indefinitely.
Pre-effective CLCFs subject to expiration:

During the year ended December 31, 2013 the Value Index Fund and Growth Index Fund utilized $6,079,351 and $6,040,218 of capital loss carryfowards, respectively.
Certain reclassifications, the result of permanent differences between financial statement and income tax reporting requirements, have been made to the components of capital. Reclassifications result primarily from the difference in the tax treatment of paydown gains and losses, investments in Real Estate Investment Trusts, net investment losses and sales of contributed securities. These reclassifications have no impact on the net assets or the net asset value per share of the Funds and Portfolios and are designed to

present each Fund’s or Portfolio’s capital accounts on a tax basis. The following reclassifications have been made to the following Funds and Portfolios for the year ended December 31, 2013:
Paid in Capital | Accumulated Net Investment Income (Loss) | Accumulated Net Realized Gains (Losses) | ||||||||||
Intermediate Income Fund | $ | — | $ | 1,141,445 | $ | (1,141,445 | ) | |||||

The Funds and Portfolios have analyzed their tax positions taken on Federal income tax returns for all open tax years (tax years ended December 31, 2010 through 2013) and have concluded that no provision for income tax is required in their financial statements.
8. Commitments and Contingencies
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 Trust. In addition, in the normal course of business, the Trust enters into contracts with its vendors and others that provide general indemnification. Each Fund’s and Portfolio’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown, as this would involve future claims that may be made against a Fund or Portfolio. However, based on experience, the Trust expects the risk of loss to be remote.
9. Subsequent Events
The Funds and Portfolios evaluated subsequent events from December 31, 2013 through the date these financial statements were issued. There were no significant events that would have a material impact on the Funds’ and Portfolios’ financial statements.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
The Board of Trustees and Shareholders
of Praxis Mutual Funds
We have audited the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities, including the schedules of portfolio investments, of Praxis Mutual Funds (comprising, the Praxis Intermediate Income Fund, Praxis International Index Fund, Praxis Value Index Fund, Praxis Growth Index Fund, Praxis Small Cap Fund, Praxis Genesis Conservative Portfolio, Praxis Genesis Balanced Portfolio, and Praxis Genesis Growth Portfolio) (collectively, the “Funds”) as of December 31, 2013, and the related statements of operations for the year then ended, the statements of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, and the financial highlights for the periods indicated therein. These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Funds’ management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and financial highlights based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and financial highlights are free of material misstatement. We were not engaged to perform an audit of the Funds’ internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Funds’ internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements and financial highlights, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of December 31, 2013, by correspondence with the custodian and brokers or by other auditing procedures where replies from brokers were not received. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of each of the respective funds constituting the Praxis Mutual Funds at December 31, 2013, the results of their operations for the year then ended, the changes in their net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, and the financial highlights for each of the periods indicated therein, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

Expense Comparison:
As a shareholder of the Praxis Mutual Funds, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) on purchases, reinvested dividends, or other distributions; redemption fees; and exchange fees; (2) ongoing costs, including management fees; distribution and service 12b-1 fees; and other Fund expenses. This example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Praxis Mutual Funds and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.
The example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period from July 1, 2013 through December 31, 2013.
Actual Expenses:
The table below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information below, 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 table under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.

Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes:
The table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on each Praxis Mutual Fund’s expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5 percent 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 this 5 percent hypothetical example with the 5 percent hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of 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 table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

BOARD CONSIDERATION AND APPROVAL OF ADVISORY AND SUB-ADVISORY AGREEMENTS
Section 15(c) of the 1940 Act requires that each mutual fund’s board of trustees, including a majority of trustees who are not “interested persons” of the fund (“Independent Trustees”), annually review and approve any continuation of the fund’s investment advisory and sub-advisory agreements. At its November 18, 2013 meeting, the Funds’ Board of Trustees, which is comprised of a majority of Independent Trustees, unanimously approved a one-year renewal of each Fund’s Advisory Agreement. Also at its November 18, 2013 meeting, the Board approved a one-year renewal of the Sub-Advisory Agreements for the International Index Fund and the Small Cap Fund. In this section, Advisory and Sub-Advisory Agreements are referred to as the “Agreements.”
In reaching its decision to approve the renewals, the Board considered information furnished to the Board throughout the year at regular Board meetings, as well as information prepared specifically in connection with the annual contract review process that took place at various meetings in October and November 2013. In determining to approve the renewals, the members of the Board reviewed and evaluated all of this information and factors they believed, in light of legal advice furnished to them by independent legal counsel and through the exercise of their own business judgment, to be relevant and appropriate. The Board’s conclusions with respect to the renewals were based in part on the Board’s consideration of the investment advisory and sub-advisory agreements in prior years. The Board also observed that there is a range of investment options available to shareholders of the Funds, including other mutual funds, and that the Funds’ shareholders have chosen to invest in the Funds. The Board’s decision to approve the Agreements was not based on any single factor. Each member of the Board may have weighed certain factors differently.
INVESTMENT ADVISORY AGREEMENT WITH EVERENCE CAPITAL MANAGEMENT, INC.
In approving the continuation of the Investment Advisory Agreement between each of the Funds and Everence Capital Management, Inc. (the “Adviser”), the Board gave weight to the following factors, among others.
Nature, Quality and Extent of Services
The Board examined the nature, quality and extent of services the Adviser provides to the Funds. Among other things, the Board considered the Adviser’s experience in serving as investment manager of the Funds, including the experience of senior personnel at the Adviser providing services to the Funds. The Board also considered the Adviser’s performance in fulfilling its responsibilities for overseeing the Funds’ legal and compliance environment, in overseeing the Sub-Advisers’ compliance with the Funds’ investment objectives and policies, and its responsiveness in implementing Board directives as they relate to the Funds. In addition, the Board considered the Adviser’s track record and experience providing portfolio management services to the Funds that do not have Sub-Advisers. The Board also considered that the Adviser is responsible for the stewardship investing screening process for the Funds, develops and carries out shareholder advocacy on behalf of the Funds, and manages the Everence Community Investment program in which the Funds participate. Based on these and other considerations, within the context of its overall determinations regarding the Agreements, the Board concluded that it was generally satisfied with the nature, quality and extent of services provided to the Funds by the Adviser.
Investment Performance of the Funds and Everence
In evaluating each Fund’s investment performance, the Board considered performance in light of the Fund’s investment objectives, strategies, and risks, as disclosed in the Fund’s prospectus. The Board reviewed historical performance information for the Funds, and considered each Fund’s historical performance relative to its benchmark and peer group. The Board also considered the impact of SRI Criteria on Fund performance. Based on these and other considerations, within the context of its overall determinations regarding the Agreements, among other conclusions, the Board reached the following conclusions with regard to performance, for the periods ended September 30, 2013, for the Funds that do not have Sub-Advisers: Intermediate Income Fund: the Fund’s gross performance beat the Fund’s benchmark for the one-, three- and five-year periods, and measured against its peer group, Class A ranked between the 53rd and 73rd percentiles and Class I ranked between the 38th and 58th percentiles over those periods; Value Index Fund: the Fund’s gross performance exceeded the benchmark for the one-year period although it trailed the benchmark for the three- and five-year periods, and measured against its peer group, Class A ranked between the 36th and 81st percentiles and Class I ranked between the 30th and 69th percentiles over those periods; Growth Index Fund: the Fund’s gross performance exceeded the Fund’s benchmark for the three-year period although it trailed the benchmark for the one- and five-year periods and, measured against its peer group, Class A ranked between the 43rd and 86th percentiles and Class I ranked between the 33rd and 83rd percentiles over those periods; Conservative Portfolio: the Fund’s gross performance exceeded its benchmark for the one- and three-year periods and, measured against its peer group, ranked between the 67th and 69th percentiles over those periods; Balanced Portfolio: the Fund’s gross performance trailed its benchmark for the one- and three-year periods and, measured against its peer groups, ranked between the 68th and 75th percentiles over those periods; Growth Portfolio: the Fund’s gross performance trailed its benchmark for the one- and three-year periods and, measured against its peer groups, ranked in 60th percentile over those periods.
Costs of Services and Profitability of Everence and Affiliates
The Board then reviewed information regarding the costs of providing the advisory services to the Funds and the profits to be realized by the Adviser and its affiliates from their relationship with the Funds. Representatives of the Adviser addressed the Board’s questions regarding guidelines for manager selection, fund-related expenses, expense allocations and compensation levels and expense

waivers and reimbursements. In its review of the Funds’ total and net expenses, the Board considered the Adviser’s fees, as well as other Fund expenses, such as transfer agent, custodial, legal, compliance and audit fees. The Board also noted the effects of any current expense waivers and reimbursements on fees and expense levels, as well as proposed changes to the current expense limitations and the duration of those waivers and reimbursements. As part of its review, the Board considered the expense ratios and profitability information by Fund compared with peer group fund expense ratios. In addition, the Board reviewed the fee structures and other information provided by the Adviser regarding its services to other clients. Based on these and other considerations, within the context of its overall determinations regarding the Agreements, the Board concluded that the costs to each Fund of the services provided to the Fund by the Adviser were fair.
Economies of Scale
The Board considered the extent to which economies of scale would be realized as the Funds grow and whether the investment advisory fee rates reflect those economies of scale for the benefit of Fund shareholders. The Adviser represented to the Board that it would consider breakpoints as the Funds grow in size, but that the Funds’ asset values had not yet reached levels at which additional economies of scale could be realized in the form of breakpoints. The Board then considered the information provided regarding the expense levels of peer group funds. Based on these and other considerations, within the context of its overall determinations regarding the Agreements, the Board acknowledged the Adviser’s statement that current asset levels did not warrant breakpoints at this time.
Other Benefits
The Board discussed the extent to which the Adviser and its affiliates might derive other benefits, including soft dollar credits or other similar benefits from the Adviser’s relationship with the Funds. The Board noted that the Adviser does not generate soft dollar credits on Fund brokerage transactions. The Board also considered other potential benefits to the Adviser and its affiliates from their relationship with the Funds. Based on these and other considerations, within the context of its overall determinations regarding the Agreements, the Board concluded that such benefits were not material or were reasonable in relation to the services provided.
SUB-INVESTMENT ADVISORY AGREEMENT WITH APERIO GROUP, LLC
In approving the continuation of the Sub-Investment Advisory Agreement between Everence Capital Management, Inc. and Aperio Group, LLC (“Aperio”), with respect to portfolio management of Praxis International Index Fund, the Board gave weight to the following factors, among others.
Nature, Quality and Extent of Services
The Board considered the nature, quality and extent of services Aperio provides to the International Index Fund. Among other things, the Board considered Aperio’s experience in providing the investment strategy used by the Fund and in serving as Sub-Adviser to the Fund, including the experience of senior personnel at Aperio providing portfolio management and other services to the Funds. The Board considered Aperio’s compliance capabilities, its compliance record with respect to the International Index Fund, and the quality of communication among the Adviser, Aperio and the Board. The Board also considered Aperio’s compliance with the Fund’s investment objective and policies, and its responsiveness in implementing Board directives as they relate to the Fund. In addition, the Board considered Aperio’s track record and experience providing portfolio management services to the Fund. The Board also considered Aperio’s responsiveness in addressing Board questions and requests. Based on these and other considerations, within the context of its overall determinations regarding the Agreements, the Board concluded that it was generally satisfied with the nature, quality and extent of services provided to the International Index Fund by Aperio.
Investment Performance of the International Index Fund and Aperio
The Board reviewed historical performance data for the International Index Fund, and considered the Fund’s historical performance relative to its benchmark and peer groups, noting that the Fund had less than three full years of performance history. The Board also considered the impact of SRI criteria on Fund performance. Based on these and other considerations, within the context of its overall determinations regarding the Agreements, the Board concluded that, for the periods ended September 30, 2013, the Fund’s gross performance exceeded the benchmark for the one-year period and, measured against its peer group, Class A ranked at the 84th percentile and Class I ranked at the 79th percentile for that period.
Costs of Services and Profitability of Aperio and Affiliates
The Board considered the costs of the services provided by Aperio to the International Index Fund and the profits to be realized by Aperio and its affiliates from their relationship with the International Index Fund. Based on these and other considerations, within the context of its overall determinations regarding the Agreements, the Board concluded that the costs to the International Index Fund of the services provided by Aperio were fair.
Economies of Scale
The Board noted that Aperio’s sub-advisory fee schedule currently incorporates breakpoints.
84

Other Benefits
The Board considered the extent to which Aperio or its affiliates would derive other benefits, including soft dollar credits or other similar benefits, from Aperio’s relationship with the International Index Fund. Within the context of its overall determinations regarding the Agreements, the Board concluded that Aperio did not derive material benefits from its relationship with the International Index Fund other than its sub-advisory fees.
SUB-INVESTMENT ADVISORY AGREEMENT WITH LUTHER KING CAPITAL MANAGEMENT
In approving the continuation of the Sub-Investment Advisory Agreement between Everence Capital Management Corporation and Luther King Capital Management Corporation (“Luther King Capital Management”), with respect to portfolio management of the Praxis Small Cap Fund, the Board gave weight to the following factors, among others.
Nature, Quality and Extent of Services
The Board considered the nature, quality and extent of services Luther King Capital Management provides to the Small Cap Fund. Among other things, the Board considered Luther King Capital Management’s experience in serving as Sub-Adviser to the Fund, including the experience of senior personnel at Luther King Capital Management providing portfolio management and other services to the Funds. The Board considered Luther King Capital Management’s compliance capabilities, its compliance record with respect to the Small Cap Fund, and the quality of communication among the Adviser, Luther King Capital Management and the Board. The Board also considered Luther King Capital Management’s compliance with the Fund’s investment objective and policies, and its responsiveness in implementing Board directives as they relate to the Fund. Based on these and other considerations, within the context of its overall determinations regarding the Agreements, the Board concluded that it was generally satisfied with the nature, quality and extent of services provided to the Small Cap Fund by Luther King Capital Management.
Investment Performance of the Small Cap Fund and Luther King Capital Management
The Board reviewed historical performance data for the Small Cap Fund, and considered the Fund’s historical performance relative to its benchmark and peer groups. The Board also considered the impact of SRI criteria on Fund performance. Based on these and other considerations, within the context of its overall determinations regarding the Agreements, the Board concluded that, for the periods ended September 30, 2013, the Fund’s gross performance exceeded the benchmark for the three- and five-year periods although it trailed the benchmark for the one-year period, and measured against its peer group, Class A ranked between the 50th and 94th percentiles and Class I ranked between 39th and 93rd percentiles over those periods.
Costs of Services and Profitability of Luther King Capital Management and Affiliates
The Board considered the costs of the services provided by Luther King Capital Management to the Small Cap Fund and the profits to be realized by Luther King Capital Management and its affiliates from their relationship with the Small Cap Fund. Based on these and other considerations, within the context of its overall determinations regarding the Agreements, the Board concluded that the costs to the Small Cap Fund of the services provided by Luther King Capital Management were fair.
Economies of Scale
The Board noted that Luther King Capital Management’s sub-advisory fee schedule does not incorporate breakpoints. The Board also acknowledged Luther King Capital Management’s statement that the current fee schedule reflects existing economies of scale.
Other Benefits
The Board considered the extent to which Luther King Capital Management or its affiliates would derive other benefits, including soft dollar credits or other similar benefits, from Luther King Capital Management’s relationship with the Small Cap Fund. Based on these and other considerations, within the context of its overall determinations regarding the Agreements, the Board concluded that Luther King Capital Management did not derive material benefits, other than its sub-advisory fees and potentially, certain soft dollar arrangements, from its relationship with the Small Cap Fund.

(A) | Audit Services |
Before an auditor is engaged by the funds to render audit services, the committee shall review and approve the engagement. (see also “delegation” below.)
(B) | Permissible Non-Audit Services |
The committee shall review and approve in advance any proposal (except as set forth in (1) through (3) below) that the funds employ their auditor to render “permissible non-audit services” to the funds. (a “permissible non-audit service” is defined as a non-audit service that is not prohibited by rule 2-01(c)(4) of regulation s-x or other applicable law or regulation.) The committee shall also review and approve in advance any proposal (except as set forth in (1) through (3) below) that the adviser, and any entity controlling, controlled by, or under common control with the adviser that provides ongoing services to the funds (an “adviser-affiliated service provider”), employ the funds’ auditor to render non-audit services, if such engagement would relate directly to the operations and financial reporting of the funds. As a part of its review, the committee shall consider whether the provision of such services is consistent with the auditor’s independence. (see also “delegation” below.) pre-approval by the committee of non-audit services is not required so Long as:
(1) (a) with respect to the funds, the aggregate amount of all such permissible non-audit services provided to the funds constitutes no more than 5% of the total amount of revenues paid to the auditor by the funds during the fiscal year in which the services are provided; (b) with respect to the adviser and any adviser-affiliated service provider, the aggregate amount of all such non-audit services provided constitutes no more than 5% of the total amount of revenues (of the type that would have to be pre-approved by the committee) paid to the auditor by the funds, the adviser and any adviser-affiliated service provider during the fiscal year in which the services are provided;
(2) such services were not recognized by the funds at the time of the engagement to be non-audit services; and
(3) such services are promptly brought to the attention of the committee and approved prior to the completion of the audit by the committee or its delegate(s) (as defined below).
(C) | Delegation |
The committee may delegate to one or more of its members (“delegates”) authority to pre-approve the auditor’s provision of audit services or permissible non-audit services to the funds, or the provision of non- audit services to the adviser or any adviser-affiliated service provider. Any pre-approval determination made by a delegate shall be presented to the full committee at its next meeting. The committee shall communicate any pre-approval made by it or a delegate to the fund administrator/fund accounting agent, who will ensure that the appropriate disclosure is made in the funds’ periodic reports and other documents as required under the federal securities laws.
(e) | (2) 0.0% for fiscal years ended December 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012. |
(f) | Not applicable |
