Message from the President | Annual report to shareholders |
Dear Praxis shareholder:
During the first three quarters of 2018, equity markets rode continuing investor optimism despite gathering clouds. In the heart of the year, economic growth cruised at nearly 4 percent, unemployment remained low, and the Federal Reserve Bank (“Fed”) confidently raised rates. But the backdrop also included ongoing political uncertainty, unsettled trade spats, and a slowing housing market. Still, investors focused on the positives.
The tables turned as the year ended. Sell-offs in October and December sandwiched a relatively serene November, pitching some sectors of the US equity market into near bear market territory – generally agreed as a 20 percent decline. In a quick reversal, investors began focusing on what could go wrong rather than what could go right, like they’d been doing for several years.
Bond markets reflected positive sentiment during the first part of the year, with interest rates rising across the U.S. Treasury yield curve as investors expressed their optimism about future economic growth. But, as sentiment shifted, bond investors snapped up Treasuries, sending rates lower and corporate spreads wider. In short, “risk on” sentiment shifted to “risk off” in a matter of days.
But, this is normal. Financial markets surge and retrench, surprise and confound, even though in recent years it may have felt like they only move higher. Over the long run we at Praxis Mutual Funds® invest because we believe ownership in markets is the best way to help our shareholders fund the things that matter to them the most. And, we do it in a way that makes a positive impact on the world.
One of the many ways we do this is through dialogue with the companies Praxis owns. Sometimes the positive impacts occur in far-flung locales and sometimes they’re in our own backyard, which was the case in 2018. In part because of the patient leadership provided by Praxis, NiSource, the parent company of the electric utility that serves northern Indiana where Praxis is based, has publicly committed to phase out its coal-fire electricity generation and replace it with wind and solar. We are thrilled to join with you, our shareholders, and be part of this shift to a more sustainable energy future. You can read more about this success and others like it in the reports that follow.
Many of our investors tell us their priorities involve more than making money. They want their investments to matter – to make an impact. They want to be catalysts for change, and that’s a big reason shareholder advocacy, positive investments, company screening and community development investing are so important to our work at Praxis. Because of you, we’re able to invest in ways that impact communities near you and around the world.
Thank you for entrusting your investments with Praxis Mutual Funds.
Sincerely,
Chad M. Horning
President

Message from the Vice President of Stewardship Investing | Annual report to shareholders |
What is “impact” and what does it have to do with my investments?
This question is being asked by investors at a rapidly increasing rate. The financial winds have shifted and people want their money to do more than just provide financial returns. They want their investments to matter, to make a difference in the world around them and the investment industry is taking notice.
According to the 2018 Trends Report issued by USSIF: The Forum for Sustainable and Responsible Investment, more than $12 trillion dollars is invested in sustainable, responsible and impact (SRI) strategies. This represents 1 in every 4 dollars invested in the United States today! In addition, large financial advisor platforms like Merrill Lynch, Morgan Stanley, UBS and others are investing heavily in equipping their representatives with information and tools to help their clients understand and navigate the expanding world of SRI investment products.
Hopefully the concept that investments can deliver both financial returns and social and environmental impact is nothing new to you as a Praxis shareholder. Since our inception, nearly 25 years ago, Praxis Mutual Funds has been committed to do more than just “avoid the bad” - we’ve worked to actively “pursue the good” using all the tools at an investor’s disposal. (And, occasionally, we help create some new ones!)
So what does impact look like in the field of investing? At Praxis, we believe impact can and should be delivered through the use of many different tools and activities. While a majority of funds in this space focus primarily on their holdings (what is “in” or “out”), the reality is that the inclusion or exclusion of companies often has little to no impact on corporate behavior, customer/employee experience, or affected communities. So even as screening may reflect values (certainly important), it provides little, real-world impact.
We believe that making a difference - a real difference - in the world is less about what you own that what you do with what you own. This is a never-ending process that causes us to regularly ask “what more can we do?” Are there strategies, tools, targeted investment opportunities through which we can improve people’s lives, stand with disadvantaged communities and protect and strengthen God’s creation? All while providing the individuals, families, and institutions that we serve with the competitive financial performance they need and deserve.
Today, delivering “impact” at Praxis means the following:
| ● | Values + ESG screening - This is the values foundation for our work, avoiding companies that detract and distract from a peaceful, healthy, positive, respectful and opportunity-filled world we all want to see. |
| ● | Robust shareholder advocacy - This is where real impact investors shine! Using our moral voice and collective strength in engaging corporations to address problematic policies and activities and push for leadership and innovation that benefits all stakeholders. This is more about unleashing a company’s creative potential for good than bending them to the will of shareholders. And companies, increasingly, are welcoming these opportunities. Learn more about the power of Praxis’ shareholder advocacy efforts - including the details of the ground-breaking engagement with NiSource mentioned in the President’s letter - by visiting the Praxis website:praxismutualfunds.com/how-we-invest/shareholder-advocacy. |
| ● | Active ESG integration - In addition to applying our Values + ESG screens, the managers of the Praxis Impact Bond Fund, our actively-managed bond fund, work to integrate emerging corporate environmental, social and governance data into the investment process on a regular basis. It is our hope that this effort both works to reduce risk and to focus our investments in companies that make a positive impact on our world. |
| ● | Positive impact investments - The active management of the Praxis Impact Bond Fund, along with the deep SRI/ESG commitments of our investment team, have made this fund an industry leader in the inclusion of market-rate, positive impact bonds that benefit the climate and communities. Today, these investments account for over 30 percent of the portfolio. To learn more about the incredible, targeted impact these positive impact bonds can have, visit:praxismutualfunds.com/praxis-fund-family-performance/praxis-impact-bond-fund. |
| ● | Values-driven proxy voting - Carefully and thoughtfully voting our proxies both fulfills our responsibility as part-owners of these companies and also provides us another, important means for communicating our values and concerns to corporations. In the 2017-2018 proxy season, we cast more than 13,329 votes at 1,177 company meetings. We voted contrary to management’s recommendation nearly 19 percent of the time. Check out our live proxy voting record and annual proxy voting report atpraxismutualfunds.com/how-we-invest/proxy-voting. |

Message from the Vice President of Stewardship Investing, continued | Annual report to shareholders |
| ● | Community development investing - Praxis continues to lead the industry in committing approximately 1 percent of all fund assets to targeted, concessionary investments focused on opening doors of economic opportunity to marginalized communities and individuals. Today we have more than $12.3 million at work building hope and self-sufficiency in communities across the United States and around the world. Learn more at:praxismutualfunds.com/how-we-invest/community-development-investing. |
Clearly, real-world impact is part of the DNA of Praxis and its team of investment professionals. We were honored this past fall to join a very small number of investment firms to be certified by Real Impact Tracker, an organization dedicated to deepening the social and environmental impact of investment funds, looking well beyond the securities they hold. You can read more about this certification process at: praxismutualfunds.com/real-impact-tracker.
So what is “impact”? It is a commitment to understand the many ways our investments can affect the lives of others and the environment we live in. It is seeking to use this influence and opportunity to make the world a better place and to bring hope and opportunity to those who need it. It is a journey that will continuously change and we’re glad you’ve joined us on it!

Praxis Impact Bond Fund
Annual Report to Shareholders
Portfolio Managers’ Commentary (unaudited)
For the year ended Dec. 31, 2018, the Praxis Impact Bond Fund’s Class I Shares had a return of 0.08 percent, and the Class A Shares (without load) returned -0.36 percent. The Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index, the Fund’s benchmark, returned 0.01 percent. The Fund also did better than its median peer in the Intermediate Term Bond fund category for the year ended December 31, 2018. Over the last five years, the Class I Shares returned 2.48 percent (average annual return) versus 2.52 percent for the Fund’s benchmark and over the last 10 years, the Class I Shares returned 4.00 percent (average annual return) versus 3.48 percent for the Fund’s benchmark.
The end of 2013 was the last time the 10-year Treasury touched 3 percent and in September 2018 it looked like it might cross the level and not look back. By early November, it touched 3.24 percent and that turned out to be its peak as it ended the year at 2.69 percent. This move lower coincided with a fall of just over 10 percent in the S&P 500 Index as investors looked for safety in Treasury bonds. The stock market had already trailed off from its peak in early October, but this move lower was something different. The economy was still doing fine, but market sentiment changed, and fear came back into the market. Corporate bond spreads quickly moved higher over the next week and they stair-stepped higher until the end of the year. Over this time period, the Fed Funds expectations went from possibly three moves higher in 2019, to no increases in 2019 and a potential decrease in 2020.
Economically 2018 was relatively good as the year ended with the unemployment rate below four percent. The unemployment rate even touched 3.7 percent in September which was the lowest unemployment rate since 1969. The initial jobless claims rate, which counts the number of people who filed jobless claims for the first time during that period, also hit its lowest level since late 1969. Of course, the population of the United States was 202 million in 1969 versus 328 million in 2018 so this makes that data point even more impressive. The consumer price index (CPI) dropped to just below two percent at year end after spending the prior 15 months above that level. The main reason for the drop was falling energy prices as a barrel of crude oil dropped to below $50 at year-end after being as high as $76 in early October. Gross domestic product (GDP) ended the third quarter at 3.4 percent after a 4.2 percent increase in the second quarter. The Fed Funds rate increased four times in 2018 after three increases in 2017. These increases led to another dramatic increase in short term interest rates with the 6-month Treasury bill moving higher by over 0.90 percent. Longer term interest rates also moved higher during the year with the 10-year and 30-year Treasuries up about 0.28 percent each over the calendar year. This yield curve flattening generally happens when economic growth is slowing or expected to slow. Economic growth was good throughout the year, but the stock market sell-off led to concerns that future growth will be quite a bit weaker than seen in 2018. We expected interest rates to move higher and the increase in interest rates over the course of 2018 did benefit fund performance.
The Praxis Impact Bond Fund has a higher than index weight to corporate bonds, but the bonds generally have a shorter time period to maturity and they generally are less risky than bonds in the index. This combination helped the fund outperform the index along with an underweight to mortgage backed securities. The lack of U.S. Treasury holdings in the fund was a very small negative as U.S. agency bonds, which we hold in lieu of Treasury securities, lost 0.04 percent in 2018 on an excess return basis versus Treasuries.
Predicting the next year is always difficult, but we expect inflation to rise modestly in 2019, economic growth to be slightly slower than 2018 and that the unemployment rate will stay in the 4 percent area. We are coming up near the longest period of economic expansion, but this hasn’t been a normal economic expansion after the Great Recession in 2008-2009. This expansion, when measured in terms of changes in GDP, has been less robust than prior periods of economic expansion. Whether this less robust pace of growth allows this expansion to last longer or not, is yet to be determined. We will stay diligent in our assessment of the most likely outcome for economic growth and adjust our positioning to take advantage of either an abundance of exuberance or pessimism if those conditions were to present themselves.
The global green bond market continued its strong growth. After record breaking issuance of about $160 billion in 2017, the issuance in the green bond market was just slightly higher than the prior year. Overall total impact bond market issuance was over $225 billion when sustainability and social bonds issuance is included. Just over 20 percent of green bond issuance was in U.S. dollars, over 40 percent in Euros and under 20 percent in the Chinese renminbi with various other global currencies issuing the rest. Green bonds fund projects that have positive environmental benefits.
We were able to increase the fund’s holdings of positive impact bonds – fixed income investments which have a positive impact on the climate and/or community – to more than 30 percent of the portfolio by Dec. 31, 2018. We bought new bonds that supported a private foundation involved in economic empowerment, a green bond project for Honduras’ first geothermal plant, and multiple other green and sustainability bonds.
The positive impact bond market has continued to grow in terms of number of bonds and the risk and return available from that part of the market. There are 117 bonds in the fund that we define as positive impact holdings and 82 of those provide clear benefits to the climate. The remaining positive impact bonds produce benefits to communities by funding affordable housing, community development, education, sustainability and social bonds, and more.

Praxis International Index Fund
Annual Report to Shareholders
Portfolio Managers’ Commentary (unaudited)
Global equities declined in 2018, punctuated by higher volatility and a particularly challenging market environment in the fourth quarter. Losses were widespread across developed and emerging-market countries, stoked by investor concerns over slowing economic growth and escalating trade tensions. For U.S. based investors, the rising dollar generally weighed on results for non-U.S. stocks. Against this backdrop, the MSCI All Country World ex-US Index posted a return of -14.19 percent for the year. The Praxis International Index Fund’s Class I Shares closely tracked the index with a return of -14.52 percent, and the Class A Shares (without load) returned -15.13 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 US Index. The portfolio is constructed using optimization techniques to have characteristics similar to the target 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 had a small negative contribution to the fund’s returns relative to the benchmark. While there were no significant over/under exposures to any single factor, the fund’s underweight to the industrials sector and overweight to the telecommunications and financials sectors detracted from relative returns. The largest company-specific detractors to relative return included an overweight to Tencent Holdings, LG Display, and Canon. However, the results were consistent with our forecasted tracking error – a measure of variability of relative returns – for a portfolio subject to the constraints discussed above.

Praxis Value Index Fund
Annual Report to Shareholders
Portfolio Manager’s Commentary (unaudited)
Value stocks really took it on the chin during 2018 returning -8.95% as measured by the S&P 500 Value Index. Overall, 2018 was a roller coaster year for U.S. large cap stock returns with big drops occurring in the fourth quarter leading to an S&P 500 Index annual return of -4.39 percent. This snapped a nine-year string of positive yearly returns for the S&P 500. Through the third quarter the S&P 500 appeared ready for its third straight year of double-digit positive returns, but a host of economic and political concerns appeared to spook the markets as the year concluded. However, if one looks back over two years, the S&P 500 shows a respectable annualized positive return of 7.92%. In terms of major asset classes, short-term and intermediate term bonds ended 2018 with small positive returns and the U.S. Aggregate bond index finished flat. All other major asset classes experienced negative returns with international stocks and commodities recording double digit losses. Again, looking back over the two-year period things are not as grim as all major classes reported annualized positive returns with the lone exception of commodities, down 6.37%. Crude oil took a dramatic drop in the fourth quarter, ending the year at $45.41 per barrel versus $60.39 per barrel at the start of the year and $76.90 per barrel at the peak on October 3.
In a review of sector breakouts for large cap stocks, not all sector returns were negative in 2018. Utilities, consumer staples, communications, and technology managed positive single digit returns. The sectors with double digit negative returns were energy, materials, and industrials.
2018 saw the value style once again underperforming the growth style, which it has done for five of the last six years. The S&P 500 Value Index returned -8.95 percent while the S&P 500 Growth Index was essentially flat, returning -0.01 percent.
In this environment, the Praxis Value Index Fund Class I Shares returned -8.06 percent, outperforming the -8.95 percent return of the benchmark (S&P 500 Value Index), but obviously a much smaller return than the positive 16.91 percent return in 2017. The Praxis Value Index Fund Class A Shares (without load) returned -8.47 percent. Stock specific factors and fundamental factors (versus industry selection) were once again the leading contributors to relative performance. Not owning General Electric (military weapons screen) was again a positive contributor as GE tumbled by 55 percent during the year. Also, unlike last year, this year not owning Wells Fargo (governance screen) was a positive contributor as WFC dropped 22 percent during the year. We continue to be pleased with the performance of the fund, being able to incorporate our Values + ESG screens and deliver returns that closely track benchmark returns, especially in years of increased volatility.
The annual mid-December reconstitution of the benchmark index and our routine updating of our Values + ESG screening list again caused some realignment of portfolio holdings near year end. Of note this year, large market holding Apple moved from the S&P 500 Growth Index to the S&P 500 Value Index.

Praxis Growth Index Fund
Annual Report to Shareholders
Portfolio Manager’s Commentary (unaudited)
Given the way 2018 ended, growth stocks as measured by the S&P 500 Growth Index had a relatively good year by ending the year with only the slightest negative return at -0.01 percent. Overall, 2018 was a roller coaster year for U.S. large cap stock returns with big drops occurring at the in the fourth quarter leading to an S&P 500 Index annual return of -4.39 percent. This snapped a nine-year string of positive yearly returns for the S&P 500. Through the third quarter the S&P 500 appeared ready for its third straight year of double-digit positive returns, but a host of economic and political concerns appeared to spook the markets as the year concluded. However, if one looks back over two years, the S&P 500 shows a respectable annualized positive return of 7.92 percent. In terms of major asset classes, short-term and intermediate term bonds ended 2018 with small positive returns and the U.S. Aggregate bond index finished flat. All other major asset classes experienced negative returns with international stocks and commodities recording double digit losses. Again, looking back over the two-year period things are not as grim as all major classes reported annualized positive returns with the lone exception of commodities, down 6.37 percent. Crude oil took a dramatic drop in the fourth quarter, ending the year at $45.41 per barrel versus $60.39 per barrel at the start of the year and $76.90 per barrel at the peak on Oct. 3.
In a review of sector breakouts for large cap stocks, not all sector returns were negative in 2018. Utilities, consumer staples, communications, and technology managed positive single digit returns. The sectors with double digit negative returns were energy, materials, and industrials.
2018 saw the growth style once again outperforming the value style, which it has done for five of the last six years. The S&P 500 Growth Index was essentially flat, returning a -0.01 percent while the S&P 500 Value Index returned a -8.95 percent.
In this environment, the Praxis Growth Index Fund Class I Shares returned a positive 0.39 percent, outperforming the -0.01 percent return of the benchmark (S&P 500 Growth Index), but obviously a much smaller return than the positive 26.78 percent return in 2017. The Praxis Growth Index Fund Class A Shares (without load) returned a -0.05 percent. Industry selection and stock specific factors (versus fundamental factors) were the leading contributors to relative performance, specifically underweight allocations to the tobacco industry. On the stock specific side, not owning 3M (military weapons screen) was a positive contributor as 3M tumbled by 17 percent during the year. We continue to be pleased with the performance of the fund, being able to incorporate our Values + ESG screens and deliver returns that closely track benchmark returns, especially in years of increased volatility.
The annual mid-December reconstitution of the benchmark index and our routine updating of our Values + ESG screening list again caused some realignment of portfolio holdings near year end. Of note this year, large market holding Apple moved from the S&P 500 Growth Index to the S&P 500 Value Index.

Praxis Small Cap Index Fund
Annual Report to Shareholders
Portfolio Manager’s Commentary (unaudited)
2018 was a year in which U.S. small cap stock returns generally mirrored U.S. large cap value stock returns with the S&P SmallCap 600 Index returning -8.48 percent (versus -8.95 percent for the S&P 500 Value Index). Though 2018 saw a negative return, if one looks back over two years, the S&P SmallCap 600 Index shows an annualized positive return of 1.80 percent. In terms of major asset classes, short-term and intermediate term bonds ended 2018 with small positive returns and the U.S. Aggregate bond index finished flat. All other major asset classes experienced negative returns with international stocks and commodities recording double digit losses. U.S. large cap stocks overall ended the year in the middle of the pack with mid-single digit negative returns. Looking back on a chart of the S&P SmallCap 600 for 2018 one sees the index generally trending higher through August before it started to trend down in September, with steep drops in October and again in December. The U.S. large cap stocks’ trend downward did not start until October. Crude oil took a dramatic drop in the fourth quarter, ending the year at $45.41 per barrel versus $60.39 per barrel at the start of the year and $76.90 per barrel at the peak on October 3.
In a review of sector breakouts for U.S. small cap stocks, consumer staples was the only sector with a positive return in 2018, a result of seeking safety in turbulent times. All other sectors experienced negative returns with energy and materials showing double-digit negative returns.
In this environment, the Praxis Small Cap Index Fund Class I Shares returned -7.83 percent, outperforming the -8.48 percent return of the benchmark (S&P SmallCap 600 Index), but obviously a much smaller return than the positive 11.22 percent return in 2017. The Praxis Small Cap Index Fund Class A Shares (without load) returned -8.56 percent. As to be expected in the small cap space, stock specific factors were the leading contributors to relative performance as annual stock returns can vary widely based on the success of products and services, with a fair number of stocks being acquired or “graduating” up and out of the small cap universe. In terms of industries, a positive contributor was the underweight allocation to basic materials while a negative contributor was the slight overweight allocation to industrials.
2018 was our first full calendar year of running the small cap fund as an optimized index fund. As a reminder, the transition took place at the beginning of 2017, but the first few days of 2017 were used to adjust the portfolio. This involved moving to a fund with approximately 450 holdings from one with approximately 70 holdings and a change of benchmarks to the S&P SmallCap 600 from the Russell 2000. We are pleased with the performance in 2018. We look forward to continuing to be able to incorporate our Values + ESG screens and deliver returns that closely track benchmark returns in the small cap space, especially in years of increased volatility.

Annual Report to Shareholders
Portfolio Managers’ Commentary (unaudited)
In 2018, many asset classes performed poorly. The U.S. economy grew well in 2018 and the unemployment rate stayed near historic lows, but markets started to pay more attention to domestic and global uncertainties in the fourth quarter. Through the first three quarters, the S&P 500 Index was up 10.56 percent, but it ended the year down 4.39 percent. The small cap market as represented by the S&P SmallCap 600 Index, was up 14.54 percent in the first three quarters, but it ended the year down 8.48 percent.
As is normally the case in the U.S., equity style mattered in 2018. The S&P 500 Growth Index was only down 0.01 percent while the S&P 500 Value Index was down 8.95 percent.
International developed markets did slightly better than emerging markets in 2018. The MSCI EAFE Index was down 13.32 percent while the MSCI Emerging Markets Index was down 14.45 percent. Over the last five years, developed markets have slightly underperformed emerging markets, with a 1.10 percent annualized return versus a 1.97 percent annualized return.
The Bloomberg Barclays Aggregate returned 0.01 percent for 2018. The interest rate curve continued to flatten with the 6-month Treasury bill yield increasing 0.95 percent and the yield on the 30-year Treasury note increasing by just 0.28 percent. The 10-year Treasury yield started 2018 at 2.41 percent and it ended at 2.68 percent. There is still $8.5 trillion of negative yielding debt across the world, but that is much lower than it was in 2016 when it reached over $12 trillion.
The asset allocation strategies pursued by the Genesis Portfolios do not lend themselves to easy benchmarking with a public multi-asset class index; but we have found that the S&P Target Risk indexes are the best available option.
The Genesis Conservative Portfolio’s Class A Shares (without load) returned -2.64 percent which outperformed the S&P Target Risk Conservative Index return of -2.73 percent.
The Genesis Balanced Portfolio’s Class A Shares (without load) return was -4.89 percent which outperformed the S&P Target Risk Growth Index’s return of -5.69 percent.
The Genesis Growth Portfolio’s Class A Shares (without load) return was -6.52 percent which outperformed the S&P Target Risk Aggressive Index’s return of -7.65 percent.
The allocation to fixed income and large cap growth stocks were the largest positive contributors on an absolute basis for each Portfolio. The biggest detractor on an absolute basis was foreign stocks as those markets did quite poorly in 2018.
The underlying investments in the Genesis Portfolios are the Praxis Impact Bond Fund, the Praxis Growth Index Fund, the Praxis Value Index Fund, Praxis Small Cap Index Fund, and the Praxis International Index Fund. These funds 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 the higher risk equity funds are expected to generate higher long-term returns than the lower risk fixed income investments. 2018 was a year when the higher risk of stocks did hurt performance for portfolios that had a higher stock allocation.
Each of the portfolios benefited from the relative outperformance of the Praxis Growth Index Fund, Praxis Value Index Fund, Praxis Small Cap Index Fund and the Praxis Impact Bond Fund versus their indices. The Praxis International Index Fund was the only fund that underperformed its benchmark for 2018.

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.

Indexes are unmanaged, do not incur fees, and it is not possible to invest directly in an index.
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 activity, the total returns would have been lower.

Notes to Financial Statements | December 31, 2018 |
1. Organization:
The Praxis Mutual Funds (the “Trust”) is an open-end management investment company established as a Delaware statuatory trust under a Declaration of Trust dated September 27, 1993, as amended and restated April 28, 2016, and is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”). As of December 31, 2018, the Trust consists of the Praxis Impact Bond Fund, the Praxis International Index Fund, the Praxis Value Index Fund, the Praxis Growth Index Fund, and the Praxis Small Cap Index 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 Impact Bond Fund, International Index Fund, Value Index Fund, Growth Index Fund, Small Cap Index Fund, Conservative Portfolio, Balanced Portfolio and Growth Portfolio in the financial statements. Each Fund and Portfolio is a diversified series of the Trust. Each Fund and Portfolio follows accounting and reporting guidance under Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 946, “Financial Services – Investment Companies.”
As of December 31, 2018, 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 agreement, 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 Impact Bond Fund which has a maximum sales charge of 3.75 percent.
2. Significant Accounting Policies:
In August 2018, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) adopted regulations that eliminated or amended disclosure requirements that were redundant or outdated in light of changes in SEC requirements, accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”), International Financial Reporting Standards or changes in technology or the business environment. These regulations were effective November 5, 2018, and the Funds and Portfolios are complying with them effective with these financial statements.
New Accounting Pronouncement:
In March 2017, FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2017-08 (“ASU 2017-08”), “Receivables – Nonrefundable Fees and Other Costs (Subtopic 310-20): Premium Amortization on Purchased Callable Debt Securities.” ASU 2017-08 shortens the amortization period for certain callable debt securities, held at a premium, to be amortized to the earliest call date. ASU 2017-08 does not require an accounting change for securities held at a discount, which continues to accrete to maturity. ASU 2017-08 is effective for fiscal years and interim periods within those fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018.
In August 2018, FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2018-13 (“ASU 2018-13”), “Disclosure Framework – Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement,” which amends the fair value measurement disclosure requirements of ASC Topic 820 (“ASC 820”), “Fair Value Measurement.” ASU 2018-13 includes new, eliminated, and modified disclosure requirements for ASC 820. In addition, ASU 2018-13 clarifies that materiality is an appropriate consideration when evaluating disclosure requirements. ASU 2018-13 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, including interim periods therein. Early adoption is permitted and the Funds and Portfolios have adopted ASU 2018-13 with these financial statements.
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 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 year. 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 fair 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 open-end investment companies are valued at their respective net asset values (“NAVs”) as reported by such companies. The differences between the cost and fair values of investments are reflected as either unrealized appreciation or depreciation.
The Funds use various independent pricing services to value most of their debt 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
68
Notes to Financial Statements, continued | December 31, 2018 |
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 are reviewed by the Pricing Committee of the Funds and Portfolios (“Pricing Committee”) 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 may be valued at amortized cost, which approximates fair value. The Portfolios’ investments in the Funds (the “Underlying Funds”) are valued at the closing NAV 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 Pricing Committee. In valuing restricted securities under the Valuation Procedures, the Pricing Committee will consider (but is not limited to) certain specific and general factors enumerated in the Valuation Procedures. The Valuation Procedures require that the Pricing Committee 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 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 is not necessarily an indication of the risks associated with investing in those securities. For example, short-term debt securities of sufficient credit quality maturing in less than 61 days may be 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 aggregate value by input level, as of December 31, 2018, for each Fund’s and Portfolio’s investments are as follows:

For financial reporting purposes, investment transactions are accounted for on the trade date on the last business day of the reporting period. Realized gains or losses realized on sales of investments 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 calculated using yield to maturity or effective yield. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date. Withholding taxes on foreign dividends have been recorded in accordance with the Funds’ understanding of the applicable country’s tax rules and rates.
Distributions received from the Funds’ investments in REITs may be characterized as ordinary income, net capital gains or return of capital. The proper characterization of REIT distributions is generally not known until after the end of each calendar year. As such, the Funds must use estimates in reporting the character of their income and distributions for financial statement purposes. The actual character of distributions to the Funds’ shareholders will be reflected on the Form 1099 received by shareholders after the end of the calendar year. Due to the nature of REIT investments, a portion of the distributions received by the Funds’ shareholders may represent a return of capital.
Allocations:
Investment income earned, realized capital gains and losses, and unrealized appreciation and depreciation for the Funds are allocated daily to each class of shares based upon its proportionate share of total net assets of the Fund. Class specific expenses are charged directly to the class incurring the expense. Common expenses, which are not attributable to a specific class, are allocated daily to each class of shares based upon its proportionate share of total net assets of the Fund. Expenses not directly billed to a Fund or Portfolio are allocated proportionally among all Funds and Portfolios daily in relation to the net assets of each Fund or Portfolio or another reasonable measure.
The Portfolios invest in other Praxis equity and fixed income funds (the “Underlying Funds”) and, as a result, the Portfolios indirectly pay a portion of the operating expenses, including management fees, of the Underlying Funds. These expenses are accrued by the Underlying Funds before their share prices are calculated and are reflected as Acquired Fund Fees and Expenses (“AFFE”) in the Portfolios’ prospectus fee tables. Actual indirect expenses vary depending on how a Portfolio’s assets are allocated among the Underlying Funds.
Risks Associated with Foreign Securities and Currencies:
Investments in securities of foreign issuers carry certain risks not ordinarily associated with investments in securities of domestic issuers. Such risks include adverse future political and economic developments and the possible imposition of exchange controls or other foreign governmental laws and restrictions. In addition, with respect to certain countries, there is the possibility of expropriation of assets, confiscatory taxation, political or social instability or diplomatic developments which could adversely affect investments in those countries.
Certain countries may also impose substantial restrictions on investments on their capital markets by foreign entities, including restriction on investment in issuers or industries deemed sensitive to the relevant nation’s interests. These factors may limit the investment opportunities available or result in lack of liquidity and high price volatility with respect to securities of issuers from developing countries.
Foreign Currency Translation:
The fair value of investment securities and other assets and liabilities of the International Index Fund denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars at the current exchange rate at the close of each business day. Purchases and sales of securities, income receipts and expense payments are translated into U.S. dollars based at the exchange rate on the date of the transaction.
The Funds and Portfolios do not isolate that portion of the results of operations resulting from the changes in foreign exchange rates on investments from the fluctuations arising from the changes in market prices of securities held. Such fluctuations are included with the net realized and unrealized gain or loss from investments.
Reported net realized foreign exchange gains or losses arise from sales and maturities of short-term securities, sales of foreign currencies, currency gains or losses realized between the trade and settlement dates on securities transactions, the difference between the amounts of dividends, interest, and foreign withholding taxes recorded on the Fund’s books, and the U.S. dollar equivalent of the amounts actually received or paid. Net unrealized foreign exchange gains and losses arise from the changes in the value of assets and liabilities other than investments in securities at the reporting period, resulting from changes in the exchange rate.
Dividends and Distributions:
Dividends from net investment income, if any, are declared and paid monthly for the Impact Bond Fund and for each of the Portfolios. Dividends from net investment income, if any, are declared and paid annually for the International Index Fund, the Value Index Fund, the Growth Index Fund and the Small Cap Index Fund. To the extent the Portfolios invest in the Impact Bond Fund and receive dividends,
71
Notes to Financial Statements, continued | December 31, 2018 |
they will be paid monthly. Distributions of net realized capital gains from the Underlying Funds are recorded on the ex-dividend date or when the Portfolios are first notified of the dividend. Distributable net realized capital gains of the Funds, if any, are declared and distributed at least annually.
The amounts of dividends from net investment income and distributions from net realized capital 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.
Uninvested Cash:
The Funds may maintain cash at their custodian which, at times, may exceed United States federally insured limits.
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 Share Transactions as disclosed in Note 6 to the Financial Statements.

Notes to Financial Statements, continued | December 31, 2018 |
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 distribution redesignations, Passive Foreign Investment Companies, equalization and net investment losses. These reclassifications have no impact on the net assets or the NAV 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, 2018:
| | Paid-In capital | | | Distributable earnings (accumulated deficit) | |
Impact Bond Fund | | $ | (17,082 | ) | | $ | 17,082 | |
International Index Fund | | | — | | | | — | |
Value Index Fund | | | 1,601,838 | | | | (1,601,838 | ) |
Growth Index Fund | | | 1,681,521 | | | | (1,681,521 | ) |
Small Cap Index Fund | | | 338,383 | | | | (338,383 | ) |
Conservative Portfolio | | | 35,647 | | | | (35,647 | ) |
Balanced Portfolio | | | 173,881 | | | | (173,881 | ) |
Growth Portfolio | | | 181,880 | | | | (181,880 | ) |
The Funds and Portfolios have analyzed their tax positions taken on Federal income tax returns for all open tax years (generally, three years) and have concluded that no provisions for income tax is required in their financial statements. The Funds and Portfolios recognize the tax benefits of uncertain tax positions only when the position is more likely than not to be sustained, assuming examination by tax authorities.
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, 2018 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 | |
To the Shareholders and Board of Trustees of
Praxis Mutual Funds
Opinion on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying statements of assets & liabilities, including the schedules of investments, of Praxis Mutual Funds comprising Praxis Impact Bond Fund, Praxis International Index Fund, Praxis Value Index Fund, Praxis Growth Index Fund, Praxis Small Cap Index Fund, Praxis Genesis Conservative Portfolio, Praxis Genesis Balanced Portfolio, and Praxis Genesis Growth Portfolio (the “Funds”) as of December 31, 2018, and the related statements of operations for the year then ended, the statements of changes in net assets, and the financial highlights for each of the two years in the period then ended, including the related notes (collectively referred to as the “financial statements”). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of each of the Funds as of December 31, 2018, the results of their operations for the year then ended, and the changes in their net assets and the financial highlights for each of the two years in the period then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
The Funds’ financial highlights for the years ended December 31, 2016, and prior, were audited by other auditors whose report dated February 24, 2017, expressed an unqualified opinion on those financial highlights.
Basis for Opinion
These financial statements are the responsibility of the Funds’ management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Funds’ financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (“PCAOB”) and are required to be independent with respect to the Funds in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud.
Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of December 31, 2018, by correspondence with the custodians and transfer agents. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
We have served as the Funds’ auditor since 2017.

BOARD CONSIDERATION AND APPROVAL OF ADVISORY AND SUB-ADVISORY AGREEMENTS
At its November 16-17, 2018 in-person meeting, the Funds’ Board of Trustees, which consists of a majority of Independent Trustees, unanimously approved a one-year renewal of each Fund’s Investment Advisory Agreement. Also at that meeting, the Board unanimously approved the new Sub-Investment Advisory Agreement for the International Index Fund.
The Board considered information furnished throughout the year at regular Board meetings, as well as information prepared specifically in connection with the annual contract review process, which included meetings in October and November 2018. The Trustees reviewed and evaluated all of this information and considered 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 considered each Fund and each Agreement separately. The Board’s conclusions with respect to the approvals were based in part on the Board’s evaluation of the Investment Advisory Agreements and sub-investment advisory agreement in prior years and their experience with the nature and quality of services provided under the agreements in prior years. The Board’s determinations were not based on any single factor, and individual Trustees 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 Fund 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 adviser 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, for overseeing the Sub-Adviser’s 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 the Adviser manages directly, the qualifications of the portfolio managers responsible for the day-to-day portfolio management of each Fund that is managed directly, and the Adviser’s infrastructure and resources available to the portfolio managers. The Board also considered that the Adviser is responsible for developing and integrating key elements of the Funds’ socially responsible investing, including the stewardship investing screening process for the Funds and shareholder advocacy on behalf of the Funds. Based on these and other considerations, within the context of its overall determinations regarding the Agreements, the Board concluded that it was satisfied with the nature, quality and extent of services provided to the Funds by the Adviser. 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 demonstrated their support for the Funds by investing in the Funds.
Investment Performance of the Funds and Everence
In evaluating each Fund’s investment performance, the Board considered investment performance in light of the Fund’s investment objectives, strategies, and risks, as disclosed in the Fund’s prospectus. The Board also considered each Fund’s historical performance relative to its benchmark and peer group. The Board evaluated Fund performance gross of fees and net of fees. The Board also considered the impact of the Funds’ social investing screens on Fund performance. Based on these and other considerations, within the context of its overall determinations regarding the Agreements, the Board reached the following conclusions with regard to performance, for the periods ended September 30, 2018:
Impact Bond Fund: the Fund’s performance was generally in line with expectations. The Board noted that the Fund’s gross performance exceeded its benchmark for the one-, three- and five-year periods, and measured against its peer group, Class A ranked between the 72nd and 81st percentiles and Class I ranked between the 41st and 59th percentiles over those periods;
Value Index Fund: the Fund’s performance was generally in line with expectations. The Board noted that the Fund’s gross performance exceeded its benchmark for the one-, three- and five-year periods, and measured against its peer group, Class A ranked between the 48th and 56th percentiles and Class I ranked between the 40th and 43rd percentiles over those periods;
Growth Index Fund: the Fund’s performance was generally in line with expectations. The Board noted that the Fund’s gross performance exceeded its benchmark for the one-, three- and five-year periods, and measured against its peer group, Class A ranked between the 28th and 43rd percentiles and Class I ranked between the 20th and 39th percentiles over those periods;
Small Cap Index Fund: the Fund’s performance was generally in line with expectations. The Board noted that Fund’s gross performance exceeded its benchmark for the one-year period and trailed its benchmark for the three- and five-year periods, and measured against its peer group, Class A ranked in the 8th percentile for the one-year period, 89th percentile for the three-year period and 93rd percentile for the five-year period, and Class I ranked in the 4th percentile for the one-year period, 85th percentile for the three-year period and 91st percentile for the five-year period. The Board noted that prior to January 1, 2017, the Fund’s portfolio was managed by a sub-adviser, not the Adviser, and used a different investment strategy;
Conservative Portfolio: the Fund’s performance was generally in line with expectations. The Board noted that the Fund’s gross performance exceeded its benchmark for the one- and five-year periods and trailed its benchmark for the three-year period, and measured against its peer group, ranked between 69th and 91st percentiles over those periods;
Balanced Portfolio: the Fund’s performance was generally in line with expectations. The Board noted that the Fund’s gross performance exceeded its benchmark for the one-year period and trailed its benchmark for three- and five-year periods, and measured against its peer group, ranked between the 45th and 66th percentiles over those periods; and
Growth Portfolio: the Fund’s performance was generally in line with expectations. The Board noted that the Fund’s gross performance exceeded its benchmark for the one-year period and trailed its benchmark for three- and five-year periods, and measured against its peer group, ranked between the 32nd and 48th percentiles 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 fund-related expenses, expense allocations 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 any 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 current asset levels do not warrant 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. In addition, the Board noted that the Funds benefit from their association with the Adviser and its affiliates, particularly in light of its commitment to socially responsible investing.
SUB-INVESTMENT ADVISORY AGREEMENT WITH APERIO GROUP, LLC
In approving 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 evaluated the nature, extent and quality of services Aperio provides to the 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 Fund. The Board considered that Aperio Holdings, LLC, a newly formed subsidiary of Golden Gate Capital Opportunity Fund, L.P. and Golden Gate Capital Opportunity Fund-A, L.P., had recently acquired a majority interest in Aperio, resulting in a change of control of Aperio, and the implications for the Fund. In this regard, the Board noted that Aperio had indicated that it does not expect the change of control transaction to cause any changes to the composition of the Fund’s portfolio management team or to cause any changes to the investment process used by Aperio to implement the Fund’s investment strategy. The Board considered Aperio’s compliance capabilities, its compliance record with respect to the Fund, and the quality of communication among the Adviser, Aperio and the Board. The Board considered Aperio’s compliance with the Fund’s investment objective and policies, as well as its implementation of the Fund’s principal investment strategy. The Board considered Aperio’s track record and experience providing portfolio management services to the Fund. The Board considered Aperio’s responsiveness in addressing Board questions and requests. The Board considered that the change of control of Aperio resulting from the transaction creates certain risks relating to the provision of sub-advisory services by Aperio, and noted steps Aperio indicated it was taking to mitigate those risks, including steps to retain key personnel. The Board also considered that Aperio had represented to the Board that Aperio does not anticipate any changes to the nature and quality of services presently being provided by Aperio to the Fund, and that Aperio believes it will continue to provide services of the nature and quality as it provided to the Fund since the inception of its sub-advisory relationship with 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 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. The Board also considered the impact of the Fund’s social investing screens 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, 2018, the Fund’s performance was generally in line with expectations. The Board noted that the Fund’s gross performance exceeded its benchmark for the three- and five-year periods and trailed its benchmark for the one-year period, and measured against its peer group, Class A ranked between the 54th and 77th percentiles and Class I ranked between the 36th and 69th percentiles over those periods.
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.
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 receipt of sub-advisory fees and potential benefits from its association with the Praxis Mutual Funds.

Expense Comparison:
As a shareholder of the Praxis Mutual Funds, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including sales charges (loads); 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, 2018 through December 31, 2018.
The Actual Expense example below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. 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 table under the heading entitled “Expenses paid during the period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.
The Hypothetical Expense example below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on each Fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not each 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 this Fund and 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.

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) All of the services described in paragraphs (b) through (d) of Item 4 were approved by the Audit Committee. |
(g) | The aggregate non-audit fees for services to the registrant, its investment adviser and any entity controlling, controlled by, or under common control with the adviser that provides ongoing services to the registrant were $31,500 for the December 31, 2018 fiscal year and $31,500 for December 31, 2017 fiscal year. |
