Message from the President | Annual report to shareholders |
Dear Praxis shareholders:
The year 2021 opened with the optimism that vaccines would be the way forward after a year of dealing with COVID-19. But variants of the original strain had other ideas, as the U.S. economy faltered during summer under the weight of delta and its worldwide impact on supply chains. Still, U.S. equity markets remained the place to be for global investors. Seemingly oblivious to the challenges, the S&P 500 Index rose 28.71% for the year on the strength of corporate earnings.
As the summer unfolded, inflation became the central concern of policy makers and investors. Readings during the fourth quarter put to rest the debate over whether inflation would be transitory or sustained for a longer time, creating the potential for lasting damage to the economy.
At 7% year over year in December, headline inflation notched its highest reading since the early 1980s. Rising prices and the prospects for higher interest rates caused investors to sell bonds, driving the Bloomberg U.S. Aggregate Bond Index into negative territory for the year -1.54%. This reminded investors that bonds, while potentially safer than stocks, can deliver negative returns during periods of rising interest rates.
A change in presidential administration led to a more supportive environment for financial advisors and their clients wanting to integrate environmental, social, and governance (ESG) factors into investment decisions, both in individual accounts and employer-sponsored retirement accounts.
While the posture of the Department of Labor and the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) turned more positive for the ESG industry, regulators also highlighted the growing problem of “greenwashing.” The SEC put the industry on notice that firms offering these strategies had to demonstrate that they were incorporating these factors into their process, not just labeling products for marketing purposes.
We at Praxis welcome this additional scrutiny on our industry. Our comprehensive program of screening, shareholder advocacy, active proxy voting, positive investing and community development investing set us apart from the latecomers. We do this not just because integrating ESG factors into our strategies may have material impacts on returns, but because it is the right thing to do to help investors integrate their values into their financial lives.
To help investors understand the positive impact their investment dollars are having on the world, we issued our second annual Real Impact Report in November. If you haven’t seen it yet, please visit praxismutualfunds.com/real-impact-2021 to read more. This year, we introduced ImpactX, a framework to describe the types and depth of impact Praxis is making through its investments. Through these seven ImpactX strategies, we hope investors see the ways that their values are being extended to make a lasting, positive impact on the world.
It is this integration of values – driven by faith and with an eye to real-world impact – and investment expertise that we believe makes Praxis just right for our times. Thank you for joining Praxis in this endeavor. We are grateful you have chosen to use your investment dollars to make the world a better place, along with us.
Sincerely,
Chad M. Horning, CFA®

Message from the Vice President of Stewardship Investing | Annual report to shareholders |
Investing in the footsteps of Moses
Looking back on 2021, we see a year unlike any other that, yet, seems oddly – even disturbingly – familiar. The year was (again) filled with highs and lows, chaos and cooperation, optimism and uncertainty in ways few could have expected.
In his opening letter, Praxis President Chad Horning reviewed a range of forces that had profound impact on the physical, psychological and financial health of our country. Stock markets rose, but so did inflation. COVID-19 variants came and went, devasting families, weakening health systems, and deepening economic divides within communities. And partisan tribalism – around vaccines, masking policies, racial inequality, education and more – seemed as entrenched as ever. It leaves many responsible investors wondering how they should respond to such powerful and chaotic forces swirling around them.
Perhaps we can follow the model of Moses. While we may be short our own burning bush or tablets with clear instructions, we can listen earnestly, focus on a long-term vision, then put our shoulders down and – faithfully – take step after step in pursuit of those ends. Like Moses, we can take comfort and counsel from the Miriams and Aarons around us, challenging and supporting the stewardship investing journey we are on together, regardless of the tumult around us.
So as principled – and privileged – asset owners, we can respond by investing our time, energy and creativity into investment and impact strategies that benefit the planet and its people. Here are just a few ways Praxis sought to faithfully put its shoulder into furthering the values and vision we share.
| ● | In 2021, well over $1 trillion in green, social, sustainability and sustainability-linked bonds were issued across the world, for the first time. Praxis contributed to this growth through the purchase of 38 impact bonds valued at $81 million, bringing Praxis’ total impact bond investment to $274 million, or 34% of the Praxis Impact Bond Fund. Included in these purchases were a social bond from the Central American Bank for Economic Integration, a green bond from Sumitomo Mitsui Financial Group, and a social bond from the California Endowment in support of health, wellness, and racial justice. |
| ● | During the 2021 shareholder season, engagements with leading utilities led to significant net-zero carbon emission commitments by American Electric Power (AEP) and AES Corp. They focus on efforts to limit global temperature rise to 2*C by setting specific targets for transitioning to renewable energy generation. |
| ● | “Employee-First” shareholder engagements, begun as a response to the early days of the COVID-19 pandemic, continued to gain momentum in 2021. Resolutions at Kroger, Walmart and Home Depot and engagements with dozens of other service-industry companies pressed the importance of companies offering paid sick leave to all employees. Conversations, in the face of the ongoing pandemic, around workplace health and safety practices and elevating subminimum wages (often barely $2 an hour) for tipped workers also continued. |
| ● | Both racial and income inequality continued as important themes in a ground-up review of Praxis’ proxy voting policy, leading to recommendations for ways to strengthen our voice on executive Say on Pay and board diversity-related resolutions. These were enacted in the 2021 proxy season and are detailed in our recently released 2021 proxy voting report. |
| ● | Praxis remains a leader in the industry in committing approximately 1% of all Fund assets to community development investments. The strong growth of the funds in 2021 allowed us to invest an additional $4 million in community development financial institutions. But beyond that, Stella Tai, Praxis Impact and Analysis Manager, got a first-hand look at the life- and planet-changing impact these investments can have when she visited four CDI sites in eastern Africa. You can find Stella’s Kenyan Travelogue on the Praxis website to read and see more about her exciting journey. |

Message from the Vice President of Stewardship Investing | Annual report to shareholders |
Our commitment to the pursuit of new, more effective and ever-evolving approaches to leveraging the impact of our investments reached a new level of expression with the release of the Praxis 2021 Real Impact Report. In it, we introduce the ImpactX framework – our vision for seven impact strategies that investors can use to understand and deepen the transformative power of the investments they hold.
So as we move into another uncertain and tumultuous year, let us follow in the footsteps of Moses, Miriam and Aaron. Holding fast in our faith in the vision before us, putting our shoulder into the unknown challenges that lie before us and taking step after step, moving us in the direction of a better, brighter future for all.
May we all find the strength, wisdom, and passion to do our part.

Praxis Impact Bond Fund
Annual Report to Shareholders
Portfolio Managers’ Commentary (unaudited)
For the year ended December 31, 2021, the Praxis Impact Bond Fund’s Class I Shares had a return of -1.93%, and the Class A Shares (without load) returned -2.23%. The Bloomberg U.S. Aggregate Bond Index, the Fund’s benchmark, returned -1.54%. Over the last five years, the Class I Shares returned 3.48% (average annual return) versus 3.57% for the Fund’s benchmark and over the last 10 years, the Class I Shares returned 2.98% (average annual return) versus 2.90% for the Fund’s benchmark. As of December 31, 2021, within the Morningstar Intermediate Core Bond category, the Class I Shares’ total return ranked in the 72nd percentile for the one-year time period (out of 423 funds), 54th percentile for the five-year period (out of 348 funds) and 45th percentile for the last 10 years (out of 253 funds).
The COVID-19 pandemic again impacted people’s lives and the economy in 2021. The delta and omicron variants slowed economic growth when those variants spread around the country. This impact was most apparent on the leisure and hospitality sectors. The rapid rise of inflation during 2021 also impacted financial markets. 2021 started with relatively low interest rates on a historical basis. Longer maturity interest rates experienced their peak 2021 yields in March, while short to intermediate term bond yields increased throughout 2021, especially after the Federal Reserve’s (Fed’s) hawkish turn in the later part of the year.
At the beginning of 2021, the market expected that vaccine rollout and additional stimulus from Congress would enable the economy to continue to recover. By March 2021, the market was confronting ultra-easy monetary policy, massive fiscal stimulus, pent-up demand (from 2020), business re-openings and the potential for inventory rebuilding. This is when median forecasts for 2021 GDP growth moved to 6% and above. This is also when the longer maturity Treasury rates saw their yield peaks, as the market priced in expectations for better growth, but the Fed was still firmly anchoring short-term rates with its 0% to 0.25% Fed Funds rate. The 10-year U.S. Treasury yield started 2021 at a yield of 0.92% and hit its high yield level for the year on March 31 at 1.74%.
Second-quarter GDP of 6.7% was the peak for the year as the delta variant slowed down the economy. The labor market continued to improve during the first half of the year as the economic reopening persisted, and there were more job openings than available candidates. By late summer, markets expected people to enter the labor market more quickly because of schools reopening, removal of enhanced unemployment benefits and increased vaccination rates, but overall, this didn’t occur.
The current labor force participation rate of 61.9% remains well below its pre-pandemic level of 63.4%. The economy’s active workforce remains depressed relative to pre-pandemic levels despite the large number of unfilled job openings. The third quarter saw the widespread and rapid emergence of the delta variant of COVID-19 limit economic growth while the fourth quarter will be stronger than the third. The latest COVID variant, omicron, will likely suppress early 2022 growth as its onset was late in 2021.
Increased inflation is one of the main stories during 2021. The firmer inflation prints in the second quarter led the bond market to question whether the uptick in inflation was transitory or a longer-term problem. The Federal Open Market Committee initially signaled that it believed the rise in inflation was largely due to temporary dynamics such as a reopening economy, supply chain issues, and thus was transitory. The Fed stuck with that message through much of 2021, only to move away from it by late in the year. They gradually turned more hawkish at their September FOMC meeting, by signaling a willingness to taper asset purchases during their next meeting. Since then, higher inflation data, including December CPI which reached 7% year-over-year, has the Fed discussing faster asset tapering and a Fed Funds increase in March 2022.
Many market participants believe the Fed misunderstood inflation data by calling it transitory and this might force the Fed to act more aggressively in 2022. The Fed policy path is highly uncertain, but current expectations are for four hikes in 2022. The Fed is also expected to eventually reduce its roughly $9 trillion balance sheet as part of an effort to remove some of the massive monetary accommodation that occurred over the past two years.
The Praxis Impact Bond Fund is underweight long-duration bonds and the U.S. Treasury yield curve flattened dramatically in the second half of 2021, as the shorter maturities priced in a more aggressive Fed and longer-term maturities priced in weaker longer-term growth. The Fund’s short duration position versus the index should have helped performance in 2021, but our underweight to longer duration securities outweighed all the benefit and it became a slight negative.
Our corporate selection and weighting were the biggest contributors to performance in 2021, with financial institutions and utilities the best performers. Our overweight to U.S. agency bonds versus U.S. Treasuries was another solid positive. Our underweight to mortgage-backed securities was a slight benefit for the year, as this sector was the only major sector to post negative excess returns for 2021.
According to Bloomberg New Energy Finance, the global sustainable debt market reached another record year in 2021. BNEF defines sustainable finance to include green, social, sustainability and sustainability-linked bonds and loans. Issuance reached $1.64 trillion, after $763 billion in 2020 and $577 billion in 2019. The entire market had $29 billion of issuance in 2013, so the growth has been tremendous. The Europe, Middle East and Africa market is still the largest geographic issuance area, but the Americas are in second place.
Green bonds fund projects that have positive environmental benefits. Social bonds fund projects that have positive social outcomes. Sustainability bonds fund projects that have a mix of a green and social impact, and sustainability linked bonds don’t necessarily fund sustainability projects, but they will pay an increased coupon if they don’t meet the issuer’s green or social pledges.
We were able to grow the Fund’s holdings of positive impact bonds – fixed-income investments that have a positive impact on the climate and/or community – to over 33% of the portfolio by December 31, 2021. We purchased 37 different impact bonds in 2021. Many new and exciting issues came to the market with impact bonds in green, sustainability and social bonds.
We purchased U.S. International Development Finance Corp. sustainability bonds that were issued in April and October 2021. Both bonds were for the WaterEquity’s Global Access Fund, which targets inclusive financial institutions in emerging markets to scale water and sanitation microloan portfolios. This will lead to improved household water and sanitation access in Asia, Latin America, and Africa. We purchased a sustainability bond from Bank of America in December 2021. Bank of America has issued multiple green, social and sustainability bonds including the first corporate green bond back in 2013. They have been a leader in this space for years.
Of the 162 bonds in the Fund that we define as positive impact holdings, 98 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 Impact Bond Fund
Annual Report to Shareholders
Portfolio Managers’ Commentary (unaudited), continued
Over the last number of years, we as fund managers have utilized ESG data to enhance our investment research process. This additional data has further aided our ability to determine which companies have a better understanding of both the long-term risks and opportunities inherent in the marketplace. We are comfortable in the belief that over the long term, companies that take ESG issues into consideration – or at least have an awareness of the issues and how they might play out in the economy – will ultimately turn out to be stronger long-term investments.
In 2021, Morningstar adjusted their Fund Sustainability calculations for fixed income funds to include sovereign issuer ratings. This allowed many additional fixed income funds to receive a Sustainability Rating. Our Morningstar Historical Corporate Sustainability Percent Rank (as of November 30, 2021) is the 8th percentile and is a 5 out of 5 Globes Sustainability Rating.
As we start 2022, we are positioned for the expectation that interest rates and corporate bond performance may be volatile, and we will need to stay nimble. We continue to look for more opportunities to enhance the financial return of the Praxis Impact Bond Fund and to make a positive impact on the world we share.

The Morningstar percentile ranking is based on the fund’s total-return percentile rank relative to all managed products that have the same category for the same time period. The highest (or most favorable) percentile rank is 1%, and the lowest (or least favorable) percentile rank is the highest number in the category. Morningstar total return includes both income and capital gains or losses and is not adjusted for sales charges. © 2021 Morningstar, Inc. All Rights Reserved.

The Morningstar Sustainability Rating™ is intended to measure how well the issuing companies of the securities within a fund’s portfolio holdings are managing their financially material environmental, social and governance, or ESG, risks relative to the fund’s Morningstar Global Category peers. The Morningstar Sustainability Rating calculation is a five -step process. First, each fund with at least 67% of assets covered by a company-level ESG Risk Score from Sustainalytics receives a Morningstar Portfolio Sustainability Score. The Morningstar Portfolio Sustainability Score is an asset-weighted average of company level ESG Risk Scores. The Portfolio Sustainability Score ranges between 0 to 100, with a higher score indicating that a fund has, on average, more of its assets invested in companies with high ESG Risk. Second, the Historical Sustainability Score is an exponential weighted moving average of the Portfolio Sustainability Scores over the past 12 months. The process rescales the current Portfolio Sustainability Score to reflect the consistency of the scores. The Historical Sustainability Score ranges between 0 to 100, with a higher score indicating that a fund has, on average, more of its assets invested in companies with high ESG Risk, on a consistent historical basis. Third, the Morningstar Sustainability Rating is then assigned to all scored funds within Morningstar Global Categories in which at least thirty (30) funds receive a Historical Sustainability Score and is determined by each fund’s Morningstar Sustainability Rating Score rank within the following distribution: High (highest 10%), Above Average (next 22.5%), Average (next 35%), Below Average (next 22.5%), and Low (lowest 10%). Fourth, then Morningstar applies a 1% rating buffer from the previous month to increase rating stability. This means a fund must move 1% beyond the rating breakpoint to change ratings. Fifth, they adjust downward positive Sustainability Ratings to funds with high ESG Risk scores. The logic is as follows: If Portfolio Sustainability score is above 40, then the fund receives a Low Sustainability Rating. If Portfolio Sustainability score is above 35 and preliminary rating is Average or better, then the fund is downgraded to Below Average. If the Portfolio Sustainability score is above 30 and preliminary rating is Above Average, then the fund is downgraded to Average. If the Portfolio Sustainability score is below 30, then no adjustment is made. The Morningstar Sustainability Rating is depicted by globe icons where High equals 5 globes and Low equals 1 globe. Since a Sustainability Rating is assigned to all funds that meet the above criteria, the rating it is not limited to funds with explicit sustainable or responsible investment mandates. Morningstar updates its Sustainability Ratings monthly. The Portfolio Sustainability Score is calculated when Morningstar receives a new portfolio. Then, the Historical Sustainability Score and the Sustainability Rating is calculated one month and six business days after the reported as-of date of the most recent portfolio. As part of the evaluation process, Morningstar uses Sustainalytics’ ESG scores from the same month as the portfolio as-of date.

Praxis International Index Fund
Annual Report to Shareholders
Portfolio Managers’ Commentary (unaudited)
International equities posted modest gains in 2021, supported by improving global economic activity and investor sentiment. Despite the toll of the ongoing pandemic, businesses broadly benefited from increasing vaccination rates and the easing of restrictions – both seen as major market catalysts, particularly in the first half of the year.
Returns in the second half of the year were dampened by labor shortages, supply chain disruptions, and ongoing uncertainty over the impact of new virus variants. For the full year, the MSCI All Country World ex-U.S. Index returned 7.82%. The Praxis International Index Fund’s Class I Shares returned 7.83%, and the Class A Shares (without Load) returned 7.22%.
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.
The application of ESG screens and scoring, 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. The objective over longer time horizons is for the Fund to perform in line with the benchmark before fees. Our Morningstar Historical Corporate Sustainability Percent Rank (as of November 30, 2021) is the 15th percentile and is a 4 out of 5 Globes Sustainability Rating.
During this period, these factors had a neutral 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 overweight to Industrials and Information Technology sectors contributed positively to relative returns. These results were partly offset by the underweight to the Energy and Materials sectors, which detracted from relative results. The largest company-specific contributors included an overweight to Genscript Biotech and Mitsui Osk Lines and an underweight to Novartis. Overall, the results were consistent with our forecasted tracking error – a measure of variability of relative returns – for a portfolio subject to the constraints we discussed above.

The MSCI All Country World Index ex-U.S. is market-capitalization-weighted index designed to provide a broad measure of stock performance throughout the world, with the exception of U.S. based companies. The index includes both developed and emerging markets.
The Morningstar Sustainability Rating™ is intended to measure how well the issuing companies of the securities within a fund’s portfolio holdings are managing their financially material environmental, social and governance, or ESG, risks relative to the fund’s Morningstar Global Category peers. The Morningstar Sustainability Rating calculation is a five -step process. First, each fund with at least 67% of assets covered by a company-level ESG Risk Score from Sustainalytics receives a Morningstar Portfolio Sustainability Score. The Morningstar Portfolio Sustainability Score is an asset-weighted average of company level ESG Risk Scores. The Portfolio Sustainability Score ranges between 0 to 100, with a higher score indicating that a fund has, on average, more of its assets invested in companies with high ESG Risk. Second, the Historical Sustainability Score is an exponential weighted moving average of the Portfolio Sustainability Scores over the past 12 months. The process rescales the current Portfolio Sustainability Score to reflect the consistency of the scores. The Historical Sustainability Score ranges between 0 to 100, with a higher score indicating that a fund has, on average, more of its assets invested in companies with high ESG Risk, on a consistent historical basis. Third, the Morningstar Sustainability Rating is then assigned to all scored funds within Morningstar Global Categories in which at least thirty (30) funds receive a Historical Sustainability Score and is determined by each fund’s Morningstar Sustainability Rating Score rank within the following distribution: High (highest 10%), Above Average (next 22.5%), Average (next 35%), Below Average (next 22.5%), and Low (lowest 10%). Fourth, then Morningstar applies a 1% rating buffer from the previous month to increase rating stability. This means a fund must move 1% beyond the rating breakpoint to change ratings. Fifth, they adjust downward positive Sustainability Ratings to funds with high ESG Risk scores. The logic is as follows: If Portfolio Sustainability score is above 40, then the fund receives a Low Sustainability Rating. If Portfolio Sustainability score is above 35 and preliminary rating is Average or better, then the fund is downgraded to Below Average. If the Portfolio Sustainability score is above 30 and preliminary rating is Above Average, then the fund is downgraded to Average. If the Portfolio Sustainability score is below 30, then no adjustment is made. The Morningstar Sustainability Rating is depicted by globe icons where High equals 5 globes and Low equals 1 globe. Since a Sustainability Rating is assigned to all funds that meet the above criteria, the rating it is not limited to funds with explicit sustainable or responsible investment mandates. Morningstar updates its Sustainability Ratings monthly. The Portfolio Sustainability Score is calculated when Morningstar receives a new portfolio. Then, the Historical Sustainability Score and the Sustainability Rating is calculated one month and six business days after the reported as-of date of the most recent portfolio. As part of the evaluation process, Morningstar uses Sustainalytics’ ESG scores from the same month as the portfolio as-of date.

Annual Report to Shareholders
Portfolio Manager’s Commentary (unaudited)
In perusing various year end commentaries, I am noting many references to “all-time highs.” This can be exhilarating when referencing stock market levels and returns and sobering when used in the context of the continuing COVID-19 pandemic.
Growth stocks as measured by the S&P 500 Growth Index had another banner year, ending 2021 with a positive return of 31.99%, only slightly lower than the 33.49% return achieved in 2020. Value stocks as measured by the S&P 500 Value Index rebounded, ending 2021 with a 24.90% return, much higher than the 1.36% return achieved in 2020. For U.S. Large Cap Stock returns during 2021, a graph of the S&P 500 looks like a steady, though undulating climb up a hillside – reaching an all-time high in late December before a small retreat, providing an annual return of 28.71%. In fact, the S&P 500 had 70 record highs on the close throughout 2021.
In a review of sector breakouts for large cap stocks, all returns were in the double-digits with the energy sector leading the way with a 54% return. Real Estate was up over 46%, with utilities returning 18% and Consumer Staples up 19%.
While the value style of investing outperformed the growth style early in 2021, growth continued its dominance for the year. The S&P 500 Growth Index returned 31.99% while the S&P 500 Value Index returned 24.90%.
The Praxis Growth Index Fund Class I Shares returned a positive 31.97%, slightly underperforming the 31.99% return of its benchmark, the S&P Growth Index. The Praxis Growth Index Fund Class A Shares (Without Load) returned a positive 31.60%.
Stock specific and industry factors were the leading contributors to positive relative performance. Fundamental and other factors were the leading contributors to negative relative performance. One stock example – being overweight Accenture was a positive contributor, as Accenture was up 60.1% during the year. Current SEC diversification rules continue to limit our ability to increase holdings in the highest-weighted names in our benchmark index, making it more difficult to mirror benchmark performance.
The Praxis Value Index Fund Class I Shares returned 25.08%, outperforming by 0.18% the 24.90% return of the S&P 500 Value Index, the Fund’s benchmark. The Praxis Value Index Fund Class A Shares (without load) returned 24.52%.
Stock-specific factors (versus industry and fundamental factors) were the leading contributors to positive relative performance. As an example, not owning Boeing (weapons screen) was a positive contributor, as Boeing was down 5.95% for the year.
This past year, we started to integrate tax optimization tools into management of the Fund by tracking holdings at the tax lot level as a primary input. Over time, this will help us manage net capital gains during our routine trading.
Our Values + ESG screening framework plus ESG data integration causes differences in returns from our indexes. We use optimization tools to offset those impacts. We continue to utilize Sustainalytics ESG scores to enhance our optimization process. Our Morningstar Historical Corporate Sustainability Percent Rank (as of November 30, 2021) for both funds is the 10th percentile and is a 5 out of 5 Globes Sustainability Rating. The annual mid-December reconstitution of the benchmark index and our routine updating of our Values + ESG screening list once again caused some realignment of portfolio holdings near year end.
We continue to be pleased with the performance of the Funds which have delivered returns close to their benchmarks while also incorporating our Values + ESG screens, and good Sustainalytics ESG scores.

The S&P 500 Growth Index represents the growth companies (defined by sales growth, earnings to price, and momentum) of the S&P 500 Index, a universe of large capitalization companies in the U.S. equity market.
The S&P 500 Index is a market capitalization weighted index of 500 large companies that is widely used as a barometer of U.S. stock market performance.

The Morningstar Sustainability Rating™ is intended to measure how well the issuing companies of the securities within a fund’s portfolio holdings are managing their financially material environmental, social and governance, or ESG, risks relative to the fund’s Morningstar Global Category peers. The Morningstar Sustainability Rating calculation is a five -step process. First, each fund with at least 67% of assets covered by a company-level ESG Risk Score from Sustainalytics receives a Morningstar Portfolio Sustainability Score. The Morningstar Portfolio Sustainability Score is an asset-weighted average of company level ESG Risk Scores. The Portfolio Sustainability Score ranges between 0 to 100, with a higher score indicating that a fund has, on average, more of its assets invested in companies with high ESG Risk. Second, the Historical Sustainability Score is an exponential weighted moving average of the Portfolio Sustainability Scores over the past 12 months. The process rescales the current Portfolio Sustainability Score to reflect the consistency of the scores. The Historical Sustainability Score ranges between 0 to 100, with a higher score indicating that a fund has, on average, more of its assets invested in companies

with high ESG Risk, on a consistent historical basis. Third, the Morningstar Sustainability Rating is then assigned to all scored funds within Morningstar Global Categories in which at least thirty (30) funds receive a Historical Sustainability Score and is determined by each fund’s Morningstar Sustainability Rating Score rank within the following distribution: High (highest 10%), Above Average (next 22.5%), Average (next 35%), Below Average (next 22.5%), and Low (lowest 10%). Fourth, then Morningstar applies a 1% rating buffer from the previous month to increase rating stability. This means a fund must move 1% beyond the rating breakpoint to change ratings. Fifth, they adjust downward positive Sustainability Ratings to funds with high ESG Risk scores. The logic is as follows: If Portfolio Sustainability score is above 40, then the fund receives a Low Sustainability Rating. If Portfolio Sustainability score is above 35 and preliminary rating is Average or better, then the fund is downgraded to Below Average. If the Portfolio Sustainability score is above 30 and preliminary rating is Above Average, then the fund is downgraded to Average. If the Portfolio Sustainability score is below 30, then no adjustment is made. The Morningstar Sustainability Rating is depicted by globe icons where High equals 5 globes and Low equals 1 globe. Since a Sustainability Rating is assigned to all funds that meet the above criteria, the rating it is not limited to funds with explicit sustainable or responsible investment mandates. Morningstar updates its Sustainability Ratings monthly. The Portfolio Sustainability Score is calculated when Morningstar receives a new portfolio. Then, the Historical Sustainability Score and the Sustainability Rating is calculated one month and six business days after the reported as-of date of the most recent portfolio. As part of the evaluation process, Morningstar uses Sustainalytics’ ESG scores from the same month as the portfolio as-of date.

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.

Praxis Small Cap Index Fund
Annual Report to Shareholders
Portfolio Manager’s Commentary (unaudited)
For U.S. small-cap stock returns, 2021 saw dramatic gains in the first quarter with returns bouncing around for the balance of the year – ending with an S&P Small Cap 600 Index annual return of 26.82%.
In a review of sector breakouts for U.S. small-cap stocks, all sectors provided positive returns, though Energy was a clear winner, up over 60%, reversing a 40% loss in 2020. Consumer Discretionary and Real Estate returns were in the 30% range, Consumer Staples, Financials, Communications, Technology, Utilities, and Industrials were in the 20% range, Materials in the teens, with Health Care the only sector in single digits.
In this environment, the Praxis Small Cap Index Fund Class I Shares returned 27.36%, outperforming by 0.54% the S&P Small Cap 600 Index return of 26.82%. The Praxis Small Cap Index Fund Class A Shares (Without Load) gained 26.53%.
Stock specific and Industries were the leading positive contributing factors to relative performance, while Fundamental and Other factors were the main negative contributors. The nature of the small-cap benchmark sees successful companies being acquired or “graduating” up and out of the small-cap universe – leading to some natural churn in our portfolio. In terms of Industries, the largest positive contributor was our overweight exposure to Consumer Discretionary, while our largest negative contributor was our underweight exposure to Energy.
This past year, we started to integrate tax optimization tools into management of the Fund by tracking our holdings at the tax lot level as a primary input. Over time, this will help us manage net capital gains during routine trading.
Our Values + ESG screening framework plus ESG data integration causes differences in returns from our index. We use optimization tools to offset those impacts. We continue to utilize Sustainalytics ESG scores to enhance our optimization process. Our Morningstar Historical Corporate Sustainability Percent Rank (as of November 30, 2021) is the 15th percentile and is a 4 out of 5 Globes Sustainability Rating.
2021 was our fourth full calendar year of running the small-cap fund as an optimized index fund, utilizing the same methodology and processes we use to manage our Growth Index and Value Index funds. As a reminder, we transitioned this fund at the beginning of 2017 from an actively managed fund with 70 holdings to an index fund with about 450 holdings. We also changed benchmarks from the Russell 2000 to the S&P SmallCap 600. We are pleased with the performance we have been able to deliver to our shareholders.
We look forward to continuing to incorporate our Values + ESG screens, and now Sustainalytics ESG scores, to deliver returns that closely track benchmark returns in the small-cap space, whether it is a year of small or large returns.

These opinions are not intended to be a forecast of future events, a guarantee of future results, or investment advice. All data referenced are from sources deemed to be reliable but cannot be guaranteed. Securities and sectors referenced should not be construed as a solicitation or recommendation or be used as the sole basis for any investment decision.
The S&P SmallCap 600 Index measures the small-cap segment of the U.S. equity market. The Index is designed to track companies that meet specific inclusion criteria to ensure they are liquid and financially viable.
The Russell 2000 Index measures the performance of the small-cap segment of the U.S. equity universe. The Russell 2000 Index is a subset of the Russell 3000 Index representing approximately 10% of the total market capitalization of that index. It includes approximately 2000 of the smallest securities in the Russell 3000 Index based on a combination of their market capitalization and current index membership.
The Morningstar Sustainability Rating™ is intended to measure how well the issuing companies of the securities within a fund’s portfolio holdings are managing their financially material environmental, social and governance, or ESG, risks relative to the fund’s Morningstar Global Category peers. The Morningstar Sustainability Rating calculation is a five -step process. First, each fund with at least 67% of assets covered by a company-level ESG Risk Score from Sustainalytics receives a Morningstar Portfolio Sustainability Score. The Morningstar Portfolio Sustainability Score is an asset-weighted average of company level ESG Risk Scores. The Portfolio Sustainability Score ranges between 0 to 100, with a higher score indicating that a fund has, on average, more of its assets invested in companies with high ESG Risk. Second, the Historical Sustainability Score is an exponential weighted moving average of the Portfolio Sustainability Scores over the past 12 months. The process rescales the current Portfolio Sustainability Score to reflect the consistency of the scores. The Historical Sustainability Score ranges between 0 to 100, with a higher score indicating that a fund has, on average, more of its assets invested in companies with high ESG Risk, on a consistent historical basis. Third, the Morningstar Sustainability Rating is then assigned to all scored funds within Morningstar Global Categories in which at least thirty (30) funds receive a Historical Sustainability Score and is determined by each fund’s Morningstar Sustainability Rating Score rank within the following distribution: High (highest 10%), Above Average (next 22.5%), Average (next 35%), Below Average (next 22.5%), and Low (lowest 10%). Fourth, then Morningstar applies a 1% rating buffer from the previous month to increase rating stability. This means a fund must move 1% beyond the rating breakpoint to change ratings. Fifth, they adjust downward positive Sustainability Ratings to funds with high ESG Risk scores. The logic is as follows: If Portfolio Sustainability score is above 40, then the fund receives a Low Sustainability Rating. If Portfolio Sustainability score is above 35 and preliminary rating is Average or better, then the fund is downgraded to Below Average. If the Portfolio Sustainability score is above 30 and preliminary rating is Above Average, then the fund is downgraded to Average. If the Portfolio Sustainability score is below 30, then no adjustment is made. The Morningstar Sustainability Rating is depicted by globe icons where High equals 5 globes and Low equals 1 globe. Since a Sustainability Rating is assigned to all funds that meet the above criteria, the rating it is not limited to funds with explicit sustainable or responsible investment mandates. Morningstar updates its Sustainability Ratings monthly. The

Portfolio Sustainability Score is calculated when Morningstar receives a new portfolio. Then, the Historical Sustainability Score and the Sustainability Rating is calculated one month and six business days after the reported as-of date of the most recent portfolio. As part of the evaluation process, Morningstar uses Sustainalytics’ ESG scores from the same month as the portfolio as-of date.

Annual Report to Shareholders
Portfolio Managers’ Commentary (unaudited)
In 2021, the COVID-19 pandemic continued to cause market disruptions, but overall, stocks had very strong returns while bonds had slightly negative returns. At the beginning of 2021, the market didn’t anticipate the increase in inflation or the dramatic drop in the unemployment rate.
The Federal Reserve was caught off guard by both, and they were especially surprised that inflation wasn’t transitory. Corporations produced very strong earnings, and this helped to propel the stock market to very strong returns. The S&P 500 Index was up 28.71% in 2021. The small-cap market – as represented by the S&P SmallCap 600 Index – was up 26.82%.
Equity style didn’t matter as much in 2021 as it did in 2020. Large-cap growth stocks performed better than large-cap value stocks, but small-cap value stocks outperformed small-cap growth stocks. The S&P 500 Growth Index was up 31.99%, while the S&P 500 Value Index was up 24.90%.
International-developed markets did much better than emerging markets in 2021. The MSCI EAFE Index was up 11.26%, while the MSCI Emerging Markets Index was down -2.54%. The MSCI ACWI ex U.S. includes both indexes in a proportion of about 70% developed and 30% emerging – its return for the year was 7.82%. Over the last five years, emerging markets have slightly outperformed developed markets, with a 9.86% annualized return versus a 9.54% annualized return. But over the last 10 years, developed markets have outperformed emerging markets.
The Bloomberg U.S. Aggregate index returned -1.54% for 2021. The interest rate curve flattened from the 5-year Treasury out to the 30-year Treasury, but it stayed very steep at the shorter end. The 3-month Treasury bill yield decreased 0.03%, while the 5-year Treasury increased by 0.90%, but the yield on the 30-year Treasury note only increased by 0.26%.
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 4.42%, which underperformed the S&P Target Risk Conservative Index return of 4.99%.
The Genesis Balanced Portfolio’s Class A Shares (without load) return was 11.77%, which outperformed the S&P Target Risk Growth Index’s return of 11.37%.
The Genesis Growth Portfolio’s Class A Shares (without load) return was 16.72%, which outperformed the S&P Target Risk Aggressive Index’s return of 15.62%.
The allocation to large-cap growth was the largest positive contributor on an absolute basis for each portfolio. The biggest detractor on an absolute basis was intermediate bonds, with its slightly negative return in 2021.
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. 2021 was a year when the higher risk of stocks helped the performance for portfolios that had a higher stock allocation.
Each of the portfolios benefited from the relative outperformance of the Praxis Value Index Fund, Praxis International Index Fund and the Praxis Small Cap Index Fund versus their respective benchmarks. The Praxis Growth Index Fund and the Praxis Impact Bond Fund both slightly underperformed their respective benchmarks for 2021.

Notes to Financial Statements | December 31, 2021 |
1. Organization:
The Praxis Mutual Funds (the “Trust”) is an open-end management investment company established as a Delaware statutory 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, 2021, 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 Topic 946, “Financial Services – Investment Companies.”
As of December 31, 2021, 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, 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:
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 accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“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 net change in net assets from operations for the reporting year. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
New Accounting Pronouncement:
In March 2020, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2020-04 (“ASU 2020-04”), “Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting”. ASU 2020-04 provides entities with optional guidance to ease the potential accounting burden associated with transitioning away from reference rates (e.g., LIBOR) that are expected to be discontinued. ASU 2020-04 allows, among other things, certain contract modifications to be accounted as a continuation of the existing contract. This ASU was effective upon the issuance and its optional relief can be applied through December 31, 2022. The Funds will consider this optional guidance prospectively, if applicable. Management is also currently actively working with other financial institutions and counterparties to modify contracts as required by applicable regulation and within the regulatory deadlines.
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 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 Trust’s 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.

Notes to Financial Statements, continued | December 31, 2021 |
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 each Fund’s and Portfolio’s investments and the input level, as of December 31, 2021, for the investments are as follows:

Notes to Financial Statements, continued | December 31, 2021 |
The following table summarizes the valuation techniques used and unobservable inputs developed by the Trust’s Pricing Committee in conformity with guidelines adopted by and subject to review by the Board to determine the fair value of the Level 3 instruments:
Small Cap Index Fund |
| | 12/31/2021 | | Valuation Technique | Unobservable Input | Range | Impact to Valuation from an Increase in Input * |
Rights | | $ | 2,608 | | Discount on Future Cash Flows | Estimate of Future Cash Flows | 100% | Increase |
* | This column represents the directional change in fair value of the Level 3 investments that would result in an increase from the corresponding input. A decrease to the unobservable input would have the opposite effect. Significant increases and decreases in these inputs in isolation could result in significantly higher or lower fair value measurements. |
Investment Transactions and Related Income:
Changes in holdings of portfolio investments are reflected in the calculation of each Fund’s and Portfolio’s NAV no later than the first business day following trade date. 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 constant yield to maturity or effective yield.
Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date. Non-cash dividends included in dividend income, if any, are recorded at the fair market value of the securities received. 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 may use estimates in reporting the character of their income and distributions for financial statement purposes; otherwise, these amounts are recorded once the issuers provide the information about the actual composition of the distributions. 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 International Index Fund does 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, 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. The Funds maintain these balances with a high-quality financial institution. The Funds may incur charges on cash overdrafts.
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. The Funds and Portfolios recognize interest and penalties, if any, related to unrecognized tax benefits as income tax expense on the Statements of Operations. During the year ended December 31, 2021, the Funds and Portfolios did not incur any interest or penalties.
Redemption Fees:
The Funds and Portfolios previously charged a redemption fee of two percent of the total redemption amount if a shareholder sold or exchanged 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. Effective April 30, 2021, redemption fees are no longer charged to shareholders.

The difference between book basis and tax basis net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) is attributable primarily to the tax deferral on wash sales loss and nontaxable distributions, as well as investments in Passive Foreign Investment Companies (“PFICs”).
For the latest tax year ended December 31, 2021, the following Fund have capital loss carry forwards (“CLCFs”) as summarized below.
CLCFs not subject to expiration:
| | Impact Bond | | | International Index | |
No expiration - short-term | | $ | 621,214 | | | $ | 25,020,313 | |

| | $ | 1,500,124 | | | $ | 29,894,370 | |
During the latest tax year ended December 31, 2021, the International Index Fund utilized $2,934,686 of long-term CLCFs.
Certain reclassifications, the result of permanent differences between financial statement and income ta requirements, have been made to the components of net assets. Reclassifications result primarily from the differences in distribution redesignations, PFICs, 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, 2021:
| | Paid-In Capital | | | Distributable Earnings | |
Impact Bond Fund | | $ | (3,973 | ) | | $ | 3,973 | |

Notes to Financial Statements, continued | December 31, 2021 |
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. Securities Lending
Under the terms of the securities lending agreement with U.S. Bank, N.A. (“U.S. Bank”), U.S. Bank is authorized to loan securities on behalf of the Funds to approved borrowers. The contractual maturity of securities lending transactions are on an overnight and continuous basis. In exchange, the Funds receive cash collateral in the amount of at least 102% of the value of the securities loaned. Any collateral shortfalls due to changes in security market prices are adjusted the next business day. The cash collateral is invested in a short-term investment instrument as noted on the Funds’ Schedules of Portfolio Investments. Although risk is mitigated by the collateral, the Funds could experience a delay in recovering their securities and possible loss of income or value if the borrower fails to return them. The agreement provides that after predetermined rebates to borrowers, the Funds retain a portion of their net securities lending income and pays U.S. Bank the remaining portion. The Funds are not subject to a master netting agreement with respect to securities lending; therefore, no additional disclosures are required. The Funds’ collateral is invested in the Mount Vernon Liquid Assets Portfolio, LLC of which the investment objective is to seek to maximize current income to the extent with the preservation of capital and liquidity and maintain a stable NAV of $1.00 per unit. The Funds have measures in place to recall loaned securities to vote proxies.
As of December 31, 2021, the fair value of securities on loan and the collateral held were as follows:
| | Fair Value of Securities Loaned | | | Cash Collateral | |
Impact Bond Fund | | $ | 43,142,581 | | | $ | 44,027,878 | |
International Index Fund | | | 13,585,166 | | | | 14,049,265 | |
Value Index Fund | | | 25,921,292 | | | | 26,556,397 | |
Growth Index Fund | | | 11,028,364 | | | | 11,281,605 | |
Small Cap Index Fund | | | 42,923,873 | | | | 44,107,836 | |
9. 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.
10. Trustee Compensation
Each Trustee who is not an “interested person” of the Trust (“Independent Trustee”) receives an annual retainer and meeting fees, plus reimbursement for travel and other meeting related expenses. Collectively, the Independent Trustees were paid $129,000 in retainers and meeting fees during the year ended December 31, 2021.
11. Other Recent Developments
The continued spread of an infectious respiratory illness caused by COVID-19 has caused volatility, severe market dislocations and liquidity constraints in many markets, including markets for the securities the Funds hold, and may adversely affect the Funds’ investments and operations. The transmission of COVID-19 and efforts to contain its spread have resulted in, among other things: quarantines and travel restrictions, including border closings, strained healthcare systems, event cancellations, disruptions to business operations and supply chains, and a reduction in consumer and business spending, as well as general concern and uncertainty that has negatively affected the economy. These disruptions have led to instability in the market place, including equity and debt market losses and overall volatility, and the jobs market. The impact of COVID-19, and other infectious illness outbreaks, epidemics or pandemics that may arise in the future, could adversely affect the economies of many nations or the entire global economy, the financial well-being and performance of individual issuers, borrowers and sectors and the health of the markets generally in potentially significant and unforeseen ways. In addition, the impact of infectious illnesses, such as COVID-19, in emerging market countries may be greater due to generally less established healthcare systems. This crisis or other public health crises may exacerbate other pre-existing political, social and economic risks in certain countries or globally.
12. Subsequent Events
The Funds and Portfolios evaluated subsequent events December 31, 2021 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.

BOARD CONSIDERATION OF ADVISORY AND SUB-ADVISORY AGREEMENTS
At its November 18, 2021 meeting, which was conducted virtually in light of COVID-19, the Funds’ Board of Trustees, which consists of a majority of Independent Trustees, unanimously approved a one-year renewal of the Investment Advisory Agreement for each Fund, and Portfolio (as used in this section, each a “Fund” and collectively the “Funds”), and reviewed the Sub-Investment Advisory Agreement for the International Index Fund. The Sub-Advisory Agreement was not up for renewal because it was recently approved by shareholders and its current term extends through December 31, 2022.
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. 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 Agreements 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.
83
Additional Fund Information (unaudited), continued | December 31, 2021 |
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 to the Funds, including the experience of the investment professionals and other 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, and the Adviser’s responsiveness in implementing Board directives and addressing Board requests relating 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, (all Funds other than the International Index Fund), 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. For the International Index Fund, the Board also considered the Adviser’s effectiveness in overseeing the Sub-Adviser. 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, shareholder advocacy on behalf of the Funds, and proxy voting for 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.
Investment Performance
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 investment 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’ Stewardship 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 each Fund’s investment performance, for the periods ended September 30, 2021:
Impact Bond Fund: performance was in line with expectations. The Board noted that the Fund’s gross performance exceeded its benchmark index for the one-, three-, five- and ten-year periods, and measured against its peer group, Class I ranked between the 47th and 65th percentiles and Class A ranked between the 60th and 84th percentiles over those periods;
Value Index Fund: performance was in line with expectations. The Board noted that the Fund’s gross performance exceeded its benchmark index for the one-, three-, five- and ten-year periods, variation from the index was reasonable, and measured against its peer group, Class I ranked between the 19th and 65th percentiles and Class A ranked between the 21st and 69th percentiles over those periods;
Growth Index Fund: performance was in line with expectations. The Board noted that the Fund’s gross performance exceeded its benchmark index for the three-, five- and ten-year periods and trailed the index for the one-year period, variation from the index was reasonable, and measured against its peer group, Class I ranked between the 29th and 42nd percentiles and Class A ranked between the 33rd and 50th percentiles over those periods;
Small Cap Index Fund: performance was in line with expectations over more recent periods. The Board noted that Fund’s gross performance exceeded its benchmark index for the one- and three-year periods and trailed the index for the five- and ten-year periods, the variation from the index was reasonable, and measured against its peer group, Class I ranked in the 18th, 50th, 56th and 96th percentiles and Class A ranked in the 24th, 43rd, 41st and 88th percentiles over those respective periods. 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 small-cap investment strategy from its current strategy;
Conservative Portfolio: performance was in line with expectations. The Board noted that the Fund’s gross performance exceeded its benchmark index for the three-, five- and ten-year periods and trailed the index for the one-year period, and measured against its peer group, ranked between the 59th and 98th percentiles over those periods;
Balanced Portfolio: performance was in line with expectations. The Board noted that the Fund’s gross performance exceeded its benchmark index for the one-, three- and five-year periods and trailed the index for the ten-year period, and measured against its peer group, ranked between the 53rd and 76th percentiles over those periods; and
Growth Portfolio: performance was in line with expectations. The Board noted that the Fund’s gross performance exceeded its benchmark index for the for one- three- and five-year periods and trailed the index for the ten-year period, and measured against its peer group, ranked between the 30th and 57th percentiles over those periods.
Costs of Services and Profitability
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
84
Additional Fund Information (unaudited), continued | December 31, 2021 |
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 considered the information provided regarding the expense levels of peer group funds. 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.
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 Board noted that the Adviser had agreed to implement breakpoints, effective January 1, 2021, for the Impact Bond, Value Index, Growth Index and Small Cap Index Funds. The Board acknowledged the Adviser’s statement that current asset levels for the non-index-based Funds did not warrant breakpoints at this time and that the Adviser has represented to the Board that it would consider breakpoints as the Fund grow in size.
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 the Adviser’s commitment to socially responsible investing and shareholder advocacy.
SUB-INVESTMENT ADVISORY AGREEMENT WITH APERIO GROUP, LLC
In reviewing 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 considered 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 its investment professionals and other senior personnel at Aperio providing services to the Fund. 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 implementing Board directives and addressing Board questions and requests relating 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 satisfied with the nature, quality and extent of services provided to the International Index Fund by Aperio. The Board also noted that Fund shareholders had recently approved the Sub-Investment Advisory Agreement.
Investment Performance
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 Stewardship 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, 2021, the Fund’s performance was in line with expectations. The Board noted that the Fund’s gross performance exceeded its benchmark index for the three-, five- and ten-year periods and trailed the index for the one-year period, variation from the index was reasonable, and measured against its peer group, Class I ranked between the 38th and 70th percentiles and Class A ranked between the 54th and 88th percentiles over those periods.
Costs of Services and Profitability

Other Benefits

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; and (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, 2021 through December 31, 2021.
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 $32,300 for the December 31, 2021 fiscal year and $32,300 for December 31, 2020 fiscal year. |
