NOTES FROM THE PORTFOLIO MANAGERS
STEWARD GLOBAL EQUITY INCOME FUND
John R. Wolf, Executive Vice President
Market Overview — Equity Investments
The economic outlook in the U.S. appears to be moderating from the strong pace of 2018. While previous year GDP growth was nearly 3%, 2019 estimates are 2.4% GDP growth. The Federal Reserve (the Fed) appears to be putting future rate hikes on hold until possibly next year. This shift has come in part due to low inflation data particularly the core CPI which ticked up only 0.1% in February and March. This is despite the fact that employee compensation has been moving up in response to a tighter job market. Canada’s economy received a boost from the labor market as it generated a second straight month of strong job gains in February with the creation of 55,900 net new positions. The oil and housing sectors however remain weak with the fourth quarter GDP slowing to its worst performance in two years. Moving overseas to the Eurozone, the European Central Bank is responding to weaker prospects for both growth and inflation. This comes on the heels of a particularly slow growth period in the second half of 2018. In the UK, prime minister May was forced to ask for an Article 50 Brexit extension after Parliament repeatedly voted down her proposed withdrawal agreement. UK lawmakers currently appear to have no agreement on how they should separate from the European Union leaving significant uncertainty on the eventual outcome. Japan continues to struggle with low inflation however the Bank of Japan (BOJ) has left its policy unchanged. The BOJ has shifted from trying to hit its inflation target to merely trying to keep inflation on a rising path.
Company earnings as represented by the S&P 500 have posted a 14% growth rate for the fourth quarter of 2018 marking a significant slowdown from the previous three quarters. Earnings growth for the full year of 2018 however came in at a robust 20%. The energy sector continued to lead the group in the fourth quarter with a growth rate of 94%. Almost every sector has posted a positive growth rate for the year with utilities being the only exception.

![]() | Fund Performance For the year ended April 30, 2019, the Steward Global Equity Income Fund returned 4.61% for the Class A shares and 4.90% for the Institutional Class shares. The return for the global market as represented by the S&P Global 1200 Index for the same period was 6.72%. The return for the S&P 500 Index for the same period was 13.49%. For dividend income comparison purposes, the MSCI World High Dividend Yield Index returned 6.22% for the same period. |
Factors Affecting Performance
The Fund’s allocation at the end of the period was 61% U.S. and 39% international with Canada being the largest non-U.S. allocation at 10%. One of the largest positive contributors to performance for the year was Analog Devices, Inc. +35.74%. The company engages in the design, development, manufacture, and marketing of integrated circuits. Shares climbed dramatically in the first quarter of 2019 as equities rebounded but continued to climb as reported earnings and revenue came in at the high end of company guidance. Shares of EPR Properties +52.66% have had a banner year despite the sensitivity of REITs to rising interest rates. With the Fed now taking a more dovish stance, EPR should be poised for another solid year of performance in our opinion. The company has steadily increased its dividend for eight years with a current payout of nearly 6%. PepsiCo, Inc. +31.15% shares jumped after the company reported earnings and revenue that exceeded analyst expectations. Continued growth internationally and by the Frito-Lay snack division drove the results. PepsiCo has also been investing in its snack business by adapting its product mix to suit changing consumer tastes.
Holdings in the Fund that had negative relative performance impact included AEGON N.V. -25.23%. The Netherlands based insurer reported an 8.1% drop in pretax profit for the second half of 2018. The numbers reflect the company’s business sensitivity to financial market movements. The company however was still able to raise its dividend payout by 7.4%. Shares of Ternium S.A. -36.14%, a Luxembourg based manufacturer of steel products, slid as reported earnings and revenue came in below analyst estimates. The company stated that the expected ratification of the United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement should help normalize steel trade flows in the region. We believe this would have a positive effect on Ternium as Mexico is the company’s main steel market. The Fund will continue to invest in dividend companies that have the ability to increase their payouts with solid cash flow and lower than average market volatility.
Performance of the Fund can also be affected by the Fund’s values-based investment policies which seek to avoid investments in companies that are materially involved with alcohol, tobacco, gambling, life ethics, or mature content. Compensating for a specific restricted industry or company whose total return deviates dramatically from the overall Index is extremely difficult regardless of its weight within that Index. For the year ended April 30, 2019, the values-based screens had a slightly negative impact on the performance of the Fund’s portfolio.
Current Strategy
The Fund pursues its objective through investment in dividend-paying stocks that have demonstrated above-median yield, a positive trend in dividend payouts and favorable earnings growth. In addition to domestic stocks, this strategy includes the ability to invest in international securities traded on U.S. market exchanges. As the international market’s share of the world’s total market capitalization continues to grow, the ability to access these markets becomes increasingly important.
The benefits of dividend-paying stocks include lower volatility versus non-dividend payers and the overall market. Dividends are also an important indicator of corporate health. This encourages disciplined fiscal management where a change in policy to increase or decrease a dividend can signal corporate strength or distress. Unlike earnings, which can be affected by various accounting methods, dividends are transparent and cannot be manipulated. In addition, dividends have historically provided a major component of the stock market’s total return. The strategy provides income with capital appreciation while lowering overall risk. This is accomplished while adhering to the Fund’s values-based investment policies.

STEWARD COVERED CALL INCOME FUND
Paul Townsen, Executive Vice President
![]() | ![]() | |
![]() | Fund Performance For the year ended April 30, 2019, the Steward Covered Call Income Fund returned 8.91% for the Class A shares and 9.06% for the Institutional Class shares. The return for the global market as represented by the Cboe S&P 500 BuyWrite Index was 3.53% and the return for the S&P 500 Index was 13.49% for the same period. |
Factors Affecting Performance
Volatility came back with a vengeance after hitting record highs in September which should not have come as that big of a surprise given the fact that interest rates continued to rise, Fed uncertainty was still high, trade negotiations with China persisted and mid-term elections were rapidly approaching. However, the markets had entered what has been a historically strong seasonal period. The months of November and December of mid-term election years have been quite strong as history has shown. The broader fundamentals of the markets still remained favorable in October with Corporate earnings up again over 20%, profit margins remained close to historical highs, and sales growth continued to run at a pace not seen in several years. All of those factors seemed to indicate healthy tailwinds for the markets.
Geopolitical events continued to move the markets over most of the month of November. The U.S. mid-term elections produced an outcome that many expected as the Democrats took control of the House of Representatives with the Republicans increasing their hold on the Senate. Risk off sentiment within the markets prevailed through most of the month as the U.S. administration’s approach to global trade continued to be quite hostile. The most important meeting at the G-20 event in our opinion turned out to be a dinner between President Xi of China and President Trump as the two world leaders sat down to discuss quite a few topics including trade, generating a positive reaction in the markets. As far as the Fed goes, the markets did not have to wait until the December meeting to receive some good news from Fed Chair Powell. Chairman Powell’s comments indicated a more meaningful dovish tone which was drastically different than anything he had stated publicly in the preceding months. As with the Trump/Xi dinner, the markets again reacted favorably.
The final month of 2018 was not a December to remember from a market standpoint. Investors had to contend with rising U.S. central bank rates, the ongoing trade conflict between the U.S. and China, weaker Chinese growth and continued rising geopolitical concerns. Also, the Treasury yield curve inverted, a further sign investors are worried the economy is slowing. The yield curve doesn’t cause a recession, but it expresses concerns the Fed has raised rates too high and too fast and will have to cut in the near future. After a few near misses, the S&P 500 finally entered into a correction in the middle of the month, meaning the index closed more than 10% below its previous high. The S&P 500 Index played chicken with these levels earlier but had always rallied enough at the close to stay above the 10% threshold. Global markets continued to decline as the Fed raised rates and lowered expectations for future rate hikes but investors expressed dismay with the rhetoric coming from the Fed. The last week of the month saw wild swings in the global stock markets as shifts in sentiment pushed the markets sharply higher and lower without much apparent rationale.
The option overlay implemented in the Fund provided a positive boost to performance as the markets became more and more volatile. Volatility is healthy for the markets and important for covered call strategies. The Steward Covered Call Income team took advantage of the volatility by strategically placing option trades in order to enhance income in the Fund.
Performance of the Fund can also be affected by the Fund’s values-based investment policies, which seek to avoid investments in companies that are materially involved with alcohol, tobacco, gambling, life ethics, or mature content. Compensating for a specific restricted industry or company whose total return deviates dramatically from the overall benchmark is extremely difficult regardless of its weight within that specific benchmark. For the year ended April 30, 2019, the values-based screens had a slightly positive impact on the performance of the Fund’s portfolio.
Current Strategy
The Fund’s principal investment strategy is to invest in a portfolio of large-cap, dividend paying, equity securities that are listed on U.S. exchanges and to write (sell) covered call options on those securities with the overall goal of providing options premium income and lowering volatility of the Fund’s portfolio when compared to the broader uncovered large-cap securities market.
Under normal market circumstances, the Fund will:
• | write (sell) call options on at least 80% of its equity securities |
• | invest at least 80% of its assets in the securities of companies included in the Fund’s benchmark |
The Fund’s equity investments will consist primarily of common stocks of large U.S. companies, most of which will pay dividends, with sufficient liquidity and option market interest to suggest that call options can be readily written on those securities. The Fund’s benchmark index is a widely recognized broad-based large-cap index.

STEWARD INTERNATIONAL ENHANCED INDEX FUND
Zachary Wehner, JD, Vice President
![]() | ![]() | |
![]() | Fund Performance For the year ended April 30, 2019, the Steward International Enhanced Index Fund returned -1.99% for the Class A shares and -1.74% for the Institutional Class shares. The return for the S&P ADR Index was -0.57% for the same period. The BLDRS Emerging Markets 50 ADR Index, used to represent the emerging markets component, returned -2.39% for the same period. |
Factors Affecting Performance
The Fund’s dual market structure began the fiscal year allocated 80% to developed markets and 20% to emerging markets. This represents a tilt towards emerging markets. On May 31, 2018, the emerging market tilt was reduced by five percentage points to achieve a balance of 85% in developed markets and 15% in emerging markets due to developing stresses in the emerging sector. This aided the Fund’s performance through April 30 as BLDRS Emerging Markets 50 ADR Index returned 0.09% while the S&P ADR Developed Index returned 1.31% over the eleven-month period. Additionally, over the period, international markets were notably weaker than in the U.S. The MSCI World Index (ex-USA) actually broke below its February lows in May and continued down throughout the year.
The international developed markets component of the Fund outperformed the emerging markets component during the period by 182 basis points. As noted, this was mostly due to the negative effects of the strong U.S. dollar on emerging markets struggling with U.S. dollar-denominated debt. Talk of a trade war also damaged the emerging sector.
Performance of the Fund can also be affected by the Fund’s values-based investment policies, which seek to avoid investments in companies that are materially involved with alcohol, tobacco, gambling, life ethics, or mature content. For the year ended April 30, 2019, the values-based investment policies had a net negative performance impact on the Fund. Companies such as Novartis (life ethics), up 23.86%, Diageo PLC (alcohol), up 21.57%, and Sanofi (life ethics), up 14.77%, significantly outperformed the S&P ADR Index. Screening out these three securities detracted 142 basis points from performance. Conversely, not owning companies such as British American Tobacco (tobacco), down 23.58%, Anheuser-Busch InBev (alcohol), down 8.64%, and Ambev (alcohol), down 26.96%, positively impacted performance by 76 basis points. Overall, restricted companies’ performance detracted 116 basis points from Fund performance for the year.
Current Strategy
The Fund is not a passively managed index fund. The Fund seeks to enhance its performance over that of its primary benchmark by 1) changing the relative weighting of the Fund’s portfolio of equity securities of developed market companies and of emerging market companies and 2) utilizing computer-aided, quantitative analysis of valuation, growth, dividend yield, industry and other factors to attempt to compensate for the exclusion of certain index securities due to the Fund’s values-based investment policies.
STEWARD LARGE CAP ENHANCED INDEX FUND
Fund Performance
For the year ended April 30, 2019, the Steward Large Cap Enhanced Index Fund returned 9.78% for the Class A shares and 10.13% for the Institutional Class shares. For comparison purposes, the return for the S&P 500 Index for the same period was 13.49%. The S&P Pure Index returns were 10.22% for the S&P 500 Pure Growth Index and 2.69% for the S&P 500 Pure Value Index for the same period.
Factors Affecting Performance
The Fund’s blended style structure remained at neutral for the period at 60% large-cap core stocks, 20% in value stocks and 20% in growth stocks for the majority of the year. On April 1, 2019, the portfolio management team decided current market conditions warranted a tilt towards value. As of April 30, 2019, the blended style structure of the fund was 60% large-cap core, 22% in value stocks, and 18% in growth stocks. The precipitating factors for this switch were declining U.S. economic growth, a wider spread than past years in the relative valuations between growth and value stocks, and the slowing corporate earnings growth rate.
4
The Fund’s factor-focused growth and value components may impact performance. During this reporting period, both growth and value underperformed their cap-weighted benchmark counterparts over the period, contributing to the Fund’s underperformance. This was the largest single factor impacting performance for the year.
Performance of the Fund can also be affected by the Fund’s values-based investment policies, which seek to avoid investments in companies that are materially involved with alcohol, tobacco, gambling, life ethics, or mature content. For the year ended April 30, 2019, the values-based investment policies had a net negative performance impact on the Fund. Companies such as Amazon (mature content), up 23.01%, Merck & Co. (life ethics), up 37.57%, and Comcast (mature content), up 41.73%, significantly outperformed the S&P 500 Index. Screening out these three securities detracted 60 basis points from performance. Conversely, not owning companies such as General Electric (life ethics), down 23.30%, UnitedHealth Group (life ethics), down 0.04%, and Bristol-Myers Squibb (life ethics), down 8.10%, positively impacted performance by 40 basis points. Overall, restricted companies subtracted 20 basis points from Fund performance for the year.
STEWARD SMALL MID-CAP ENHANCED INDEX FUND
Fund Performance
For the year ended April 30, 2019, the Steward Small-Mid Cap Enhanced Index Fund returned 3.18% for the Class A shares and 3.51% for the Institutional Class shares. For comparison purposes, the return for the S&P 1000 Index during the same period was 6.19%. The S&P Pure Index returns were 1.25% for the S&P 1000 Pure Growth Index and -0.09% for the S&P 1000 Pure Value Index for the same period.
Factors Affecting Performance
The Fund’s blended style structure remained at neutral for the period at 60% small- and mid-cap core stocks, 20% in value stocks and 20% in growth stocks for the majority of the year. On April 1, 2019, the portfolio management team decided current market conditions warranted a tilt towards value. As of April 30, 2019, the blended style structure of the Fund was 60% small- and mid-cap core, 22% in value stocks, and 18% in growth stocks. The precipitating factors for this switch were declining U.S. economic growth, a wider spread than past years in the relative valuations between growth and value stocks, and the slowing corporate earnings growth rate.
The Fund’s factor-focused growth and value components may impact performance. During this reporting period, both growth and value underperformed their cap-weighted benchmark counterparts over the period, contributing to the Fund’s underperformance. This was the largest single factor impacting performance for the year.
Performance of the Fund can also be affected by the Fund’s values-based investment policies, which seek to avoid investments in companies that are materially involved with alcohol, tobacco, gambling, life ethics, or mature content. For the year ended April 30, 2019, the values-based investment policies had a net positive performance impact on the Fund. The magnitude of this positive impact was not enough to overcome the negative impact from the growth and value style allocations. Companies such as Casey’s General Store (alcohol, gambling, and tobacco), up 38.30%, Core-Mark Holdings (tobacco), up 79.04%, and Murphy USA (alcohol and tobacco), up 36.60%, significantly outperformed the S&P 1000 Index. Screening out these three securities detracted 9 basis points from performance. Conversely, not owning companies such as MEDNAX (life ethics), down 39.08%, Scientific Games Corporation (mature content), down 56.60%, and Penn National Gaming (gambling), down 28.51%, positively impacted performance by 18 basis points. Overall, restricted companies positively contributed 11 basis points to Fund performance for the year.
Current Strategy for Steward Large Cap Enhanced Index Fund and Steward Small-Mid Cap Enhanced Index Fund
The Fund is not a passively managed index fund. The Fund’s strategy seeks to enhance its performance over that of its primary benchmark index by 1) changing the relative weighting in the Fund’s portfolio of growth versus value style securities and 2) utilizing computer-aided quantitative analysis of valuation, growth, dividend yield, industry and other factors to attempt to compensate for the exclusion of certain index securities due to the Fund’s values-based investment policies.

STEWARD SELECT BOND FUND
Victoria Fernandez, Executive Vice President
![]() | ![]() | |
![]() | Market Overview — Fixed Income Over the last twelve months, the markets have generally been driven by two questions — when will the U.S. agree to a trade deal with China and what will the Fed do next? We have seen the markets shift drastically based on headlines and thoughts around these two questions and they continue to be a driving force of volatility. At the beginning of May 2018, we were looking at a U.S. 10yr treasury yield of around 3.00%. A more dovish Fed and concerns that a trade deal with China is not as much a done deal as many expected has led the yield curve to shift lower with the yield on the U.S. 10yr treasury currently sitting right above 2.40% — an approximate 60 basis points drop. |
Utilizing our 4-step investment process, our strategy continues to be a more conservative approach than the broader fixed income market by positioning the Fund with a shorter duration than the Bloomberg Barclays Capital US Government/Credit Bond Index while maintaining a higher level of income with the majority of the assets in investment-grade corporate bonds. A shorter duration reduces the sensitivity of the Fund to changes in interest rates which is a benefit when rates are rising resulting in declining market values. We anticipate that yields will move slightly higher throughout the rest of the year although we doubt a breach of the 3.00% level will happen in 2019. With this outlook, a more conservative approach should be beneficial to the Fund over the next 12 months although our strategy may shift depending on changes in our outlook.
Fund Performance
For the year ended April 30, 2019, the Steward Select Bond Fund returned 3.72% for the Class A shares and 4.05% for the Institutional Class shares versus the Bloomberg Barclays Capital US Government/Credit Bond Index with a return of 5.43% and the Bloomberg Barclays Intermediate US Aggregate Bond Index with a return of 4.98%. The underperformance of the Fund was due to the shorter duration of the Fund versus the benchmark in an environment when rates fell based on a perceived dovish shift by the Fed. Our duration positioning was a drag of 185 basis points for the year ended April 30, 2019 which is more than the total drag on performance for the time period, with 89% of that drag coming from the underweighted treasury allocation. The yield curve positioning and income components of the Fund were both positive contributors to performance. An overweight to the corporate allocation and the small allocation to fixed-rate preferred securities, the two highest performing sectors in the Fund, were strong contributors to the higher income generation experienced over the 12 month period.
For the year ended April 30, 2019, the Fund’s values-based screens had no impact on the performance of the Fund’s portfolio.
Current Strategy
The Fund invests primarily in fixed-income securities, including, but not limited to, corporate bonds, mortgage-backed securities and government and agency bonds and notes, subject to limitations of the Fund’s values-based screening policies. These obligations may include U.S. dollar-denominated instruments issued in the U.S. by foreign banks and branches and foreign corporations. Other security types may include fixed-rate preferred stock and municipal bonds. Normally, the Fund will invest at least 80% (measured at the time of investment) of the value of its net assets, plus the amount of any borrowings for investment purposes, either directly or through other investment companies, in these types of instruments. (Any such other investment company will also have a policy to invest at least 80% of the value of its net assets, plus the amount of any borrowings for investment purposes, in such instruments.) The Fund will give shareholders at least 60 days’ prior notice of any change in this policy.

STEWARD FUNDS
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — April 30, 2019
![](https://capedge.com/proxy/N-CSR/0001144204-19-033687/line.gif)
Note 1 — Organization:
Steward Funds, Inc. (“SFI”), a Maryland corporation, is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), as a diversified open-end management investment company and follows the investment company accounting and reporting guidance under Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 946 “Financial Services — Investment Companies.” As of April 30, 2019, SFI is composed of six separate operational funds, each a series of SFI (each a “Fund” and collectively the “Funds”). The accompanying financial statements are presented for the following six Funds:
Steward Large Cap Enhanced Index Fund
Steward Small-Mid Cap Enhanced Index Fund
Steward International Enhanced Index Fund
Steward Select Bond Fund
Steward Global Equity Income Fund
Steward Covered Call Income Fund
Each Fund currently offers four classes of shares: “Class A”, “Class C”, “Class R6” (formerly, Class K), and “Institutional Class” (each a “Class” and collectively the “Classes”). Each Class of shares has equal rights as to earnings, assets and voting privileges, except that each Class has a different expense structure. Each Class of shares has exclusive voting rights with respect to matters that affect just that Class or on which the interests of the Class differ from the interests of the other Classes. Income and realized and unrealized gains and losses on investments are allocated to each Class of shares based on its relative net assets.
Note 2 — Investment Objectives:
Steward Large Cap Enhanced Index Fund seeks to provide long-term capital appreciation. The Fund invests primarily in common stocks of large capitalization companies that represent a broad spectrum of the United States economy and allocates selectively between growth and value securities.
Steward Small-Mid Cap Enhanced Index Fund seeks to provide long-term capital appreciation. The Fund invests primarily in common stocks of small and medium capitalization companies that represent a broad spectrum of the United States economy and allocates selectively between growth and value securities.
Steward International Enhanced Index Fund seeks to provide long-term capital appreciation. The Fund invests primarily in Depositary Receipts (“DRs”) or dual listed securities representing securities of companies located or domiciled outside of the United States and allocates selectively between securities of developed market companies and emerging market companies.
Steward Select Bond Fund seeks to provide high current income with capital appreciation. The Fund invests primarily in fixed income securities such as corporate bonds, mortgage-backed securities and government and agency bonds and notes.
Steward Global Equity Income Fund seeks to provide current income along with growth of capital. The Fund invests primarily in dividend-paying common stocks of large, medium and small capitalization companies that represent a broad spectrum of the global economy. The Fund’s non-U.S. investments will be primarily in the form of DRs or dual listed securities, or U.S. dollar-denominated instruments representing securities of non-U.S. issuers that are traded in the U.S. or in non-U.S. markets.
Steward Covered Call Income Fund seeks to provide dividend income and options premium income, with the potential for capital appreciation and less volatility than the broad equity market. The Fund invests primarily in common stocks of large capitalization U.S. companies, most of which pay dividends, with sufficient liquidity and option market interest to suggest that call options can readily be written on those securities. The Fund writes (sells) covered call options on those securities with the overall goal of providing options premium income and lowering volatility of the Fund’s portfolio when compared to the broader uncovered large capitalization securities market.
In pursuing their investment objectives, the Funds apply a comprehensive set of values-based screens to all of their portfolio investments.

Note 3 — Significant Accounting Policies:
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) 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 during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The following summarizes the significant accounting policies of the Funds.
Portfolio Valuation: Fund investments are recorded at fair value. In determining fair value, the Funds use various valuation approaches. Equity securities listed on a domestic or foreign exchange are valued at the last sale price on the day of valuation or, if there was no sale that day, at the mean between the last reported bid and asked prices as of the close of trading. Equity securities traded on The NASDAQ Stock Market LLC (“NASDAQ”) use the official closing price, if available, and otherwise, use the last reported sale price, or the mean between the last reported bid and asked prices if there was no sale on that day. Equity securities that are traded in the over-the-counter market only, but that are not included on NASDAQ, are valued at the last sale price on the day of valuation. These prices will be obtained by the Funds' accounting agent from an approved pricing source. Debt securities (other than short-term obligations), including listed issues, are valued at the bid price as obtained from an approved pricing source. Short-term obligations (those with remaining maturities of 60 days or less) are valued at amortized cost. Open-end mutual funds, including money market funds, are valued at net asset value per share. Exchange-traded options are valued (i) at the last reported sale price, or, (ii) if there is no last sale price, at the most recent bid for long options and the most recent ask for short options. Each of these methods has been determined in good faith by the Funds’ Board of Directors (the “Board”) to represent fair value for the affected securities. If securities or other assets held by the Funds cannot be valued as set forth above or if a market price or quotation for a security or other asset is not readily available, or cannot be determined, or if any market price or quotation is deemed to be unreliable or inaccurate by the Funds' investment adviser, the security will be priced at its fair value in accordance with procedures approved by the Board.
GAAP establishes a fair value hierarchy for inputs used in measuring fair value that maximizes the use of observable inputs and minimizes the use of unobservable inputs by requiring that the most observable inputs be used when available. Observable inputs are those that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability based on market data obtained from sources independent of the Funds. Unobservable inputs reflect the Funds’ assumptions about the inputs market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability developed based on the best information available in the circumstances.
The fair value hierarchy is categorized into three levels based on the inputs as follows:
Level 1 — Quoted prices in active markets for identical securities and net asset values for money market funds.
Level 2 — Other significant observable inputs other than Level 1 quoted prices (including, but not limited to, quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds and credit risks).
Level 3 — Significant unobservable inputs (including the Funds’ own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments).
Pursuant to these valuation policies, equity securities and written options contracts are generally categorized as Level 1 securities in the fair value hierarchy (unless there is a fair valuation event, in which case affected securities are generally categorized as Level 2). Debt securities are generally categorized as Level 2 securities in the fair value hierarchy, except that U.S. Treasury debt securities may be categorized as Level 1. Money market funds are generally categorized as Level 1 securities in the fair value hierarchy. Changes in valuation techniques may result in transfers in or out of an assigned level within the fair value hierarchy.

Securities Transactions and Investment Income: Portfolio security transactions are recorded on the trade date. Net realized gains or losses on sales of securities are determined by the identified cost method. Interest income, adjusted for accretion of discounts and amortization of premiums, is recorded on the accrual basis. Debt obligations may be placed in non-accrual status and related interest income may be reduced by ceasing current accruals and writing off interest receivables when the collection of all or a portion of interest has become doubtful as identified by the Funds’ investment adviser as part of the valuation process. The treatment of such interest income may be different for federal income tax purposes. Discounts and premiums on securities purchased are amortized or accreted using the effective interest method. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date, or as soon as practical after a Fund determines the existence of a dividend declaration after exercising reasonable due diligence. Income and capital gains on some foreign securities may be subject to foreign withholding taxes, which are accrued as applicable, and have been provided for in accordance with the Funds’ understanding of the applicable country’s tax rules and regulations.
Dividends and Distributions to Shareholders: Dividends from net investment income, if any, from the Funds are declared and paid quarterly. All net realized long-term or short-term capital gains, if any, are declared and distributed at least annually.
Income dividends and capital gains distributions are recorded on the ex-dividend date and are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP. These differences are primarily due to differing treatments of income, gains and losses on various investment securities held by the Funds, timing differences in the recognition of income, gains and losses and differing characterizations of distributions made by the Funds. Distributions which exceed net investment income and net realized capital gains for financial reporting purposes but not for tax purposes are reported as distributions in excess of net investment income or net realized gains. To the extent they exceed net investment income and net realized capital gains for tax purposes, they are reported as distribution of capital.
Written Options Contracts: Steward Covered Call Income Fund may write (sell) covered call options. Premiums received from written options contracts are recorded as liabilities and are marked-to-market to reflect the current value of the options written. When writing an option, the Fund bears the market risk of unfavorable changes in the price of the underlying instrument.
The notional amount of written options outstanding and the month-end average notional amount for April 30, 2019 was $27,835,850. The twelve month average notional amount for written options contracts for the year ended April 30, 2019 was $25,273,085.

Federal Income Taxes: The Funds intend to continue to qualify as regulated investment companies under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code and accordingly, will generally not be subject to federal and state income taxes or federal excise taxes to the extent that they make sufficient distributions of net investment income and net realized capital gains.
As of and during the year ended April 30, 2019, the Funds did not have a liability for any unrecognized tax benefits. The Funds recognize interest and penalties, if any, related to unrecognized tax benefits as income tax expense on the Statements of Operations. During the period, the Funds did not incur any interest or penalties. For all open tax years, management of the Funds has concluded that there are no significant uncertain tax positions that would require recognition in the financial statements. Further, management of the Funds is not aware of any tax positions for which it is reasonably possible that the total amounts of any unrecognized tax benefits will significantly change over the next fiscal year.
Allocation of Expenses: Expenses directly attributable to a Fund or Class are charged directly to that Fund or Class, while expenses that are attributable to more than one Fund or Class are allocated among the respective Funds and their Classes based upon relative net assets or some other reasonable method as determined by the Board.
Foreign Securities: Investments in securities of issuers in foreign countries involves risks not associated with domestic investments. These risks include, but are not limited to: (1) political and financial instability; (2) currency exchange rate fluctuations; (3) greater price volatility and less liquidity in particular securities and in certain foreign markets; (4) lack of uniform accounting, auditing and financial reporting standards; (5) less government regulation and supervision of some foreign stock exchanges, brokers and listed companies; (6) delays in transaction settlement in certain foreign markets; and (7) less availability of information. Securities of issuers in emerging and developing countries raise additional risks relative to investments in developed country issuers, including exposure to less mature and diversified economies and to less stable market and political systems, as well as to possible currency transfer restrictions, delays and disruptions in settlement of transactions, and higher volatility than found in developed countries.
Affiliated Securities Transactions: Pursuant to Rule 17a-7 under the 1940 Act, the Funds may engage in securities transactions with affiliated investment companies and advisory accounts managed by Crossmark Global Investments, Inc. (“Crossmark Global Investments” or the “Adviser”). Any such purchase or sale transaction must be effected without a brokerage commission or other remuneration, except for customary transfer fees. The transaction must be effected at the current market price, which is either the security’s last sale price on an exchange or, if there are no transactions in the security that day, at the average of the highest bid and lowest asked price. During the year ended April 30, 2019, the Funds did not engage in any Rule 17a-7 transactions.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements: In March 2017, FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2017-08 “Premium Amortization on Purchased Callable Debt Securities” (“ASU 2017-08”), which shortens the premium amortization period for purchased non-contingently callable debt securities. ASU 2017-08 specifies that the premium amortization period ends at the earliest call date for purchased non-contingently callable debt securities. For public business entities, ASU 2017-08 is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2018. Management does not believe that adoption of ASU 2017-08 will materially impact the Funds’ financial statements.
In August 2018, FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2018-13, “Disclosure Framework — Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement” (“ASU 2018-13”). This update makes certain removals from, changes to and additions to existing disclosure requirements for fair value measurement. In addition, the amendments clarify that materiality is an appropriate consideration when evaluating disclosure requirements. ASU 2018-13 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted for any eliminated or modified disclosures upon issuance of ASU 2018-13. The Funds have early adopted certain provisions of ASU 2018-13 as permitted and eliminated or modified disclosures within the financial statements. Management does not believe that final adoption of all provisions of ASU 2018-13 will materially impact the Funds’ financial statements.
66
In August 2018, the SEC adopted amendments to certain financial statement disclosure requirements to conform them to GAAP for investment companies. These amendments include certain removals from, changes to and additions to existing disclosure requirements under Regulation S-X. The Funds’ adoption of these amendments, effective with the financial statements prepared as of October 31, 2018, had no effect on the Funds’ net assets or results of operations. As a result of adopting these amendments, the distributions to shareholders in the April 30, 2018 Statements of Changes in Net Assets presented herein have been reclassified to conform to the presentation for the current period, which includes all distributions to shareholders of each Class, other than tax basis return of capital distributions, in one line item. Prior to adoption of these amendments, the distributions to shareholders in the April 30, 2018 Statements of Changes in Net Assets appeared as follows:

Crossmark Distributors, Inc. (“Crossmark Distributors”) serves as the distributor of the Funds’ shares. Crossmark Distributors is an affiliate of Crossmark Global Investments, and both are wholly-owned subsidiaries of Crossmark Global Holdings.
Each of the Funds has adopted a Service and Distribution Plan (the “Plan”) pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act, which permits each Fund to compensate Crossmark Distributors out of the assets of the Fund attributable to its Class A and Class C shares for services in connection with the distribution of the Fund’s Class A and Class C shares and for the provision of certain services to Class A and Class C shareholders. Under the Plan, each Fund pays Crossmark Distributors an amount computed monthly at the annual rates of 0.25% and 1.00% of the Fund’s Class A and Class C average daily net assets (including reinvested dividends paid with respect to those assets), respectively. Of this amount, Crossmark Distributors may allocate to securities dealers, (which may include Crossmark Distributors itself) and other financial institutions and organizations (collectively “Service Organizations”) amounts based on the particular Fund’s average net assets owned by shareholders for whom the Service Organizations have a servicing relationship. Institutional Class and Class R6 shares are not subject to the Service and Distribution Plan.
Each of the Funds has also adopted a Sub-Accounting Services Plan with respect to its Class A, Class C and Institutional Class shares, which provides that each Fund shall reimburse Crossmark Distributors out of the assets of the Fund attributable to its Class A, Class C, and Institutional Class shares for payments by Crossmark Distributors to certain third party providers that assist in the servicing of certain group accounts in which Fund shareholders of each Class participate.

For per-account arrangements between Crossmark Distributors and third party providers, the amounts payable to Crossmark Distributors may not exceed, on an annual basis, $20 per account. These fees are in addition to fees payable under the Service and Distribution Plan. Class R6 shares are not subject to the Sub-Accounting Services Plan. Prior to April 1, 2019, the amounts payable to Crossmark Distributors could not exceed, on an annual basis, 0.10% of the average daily net assets of the applicable Class of each Fund.
Certain officers and directors of the Funds are also officers and/or directors of Crossmark Global Investments, Crossmark Distributors and/or Crossmark Consulting.

Retention of The Northern Trust Company
Effective May 1, 2019, Northern Trust serves as the fund administration, accounting services, and custodian provider to the Funds.
Approval of New Agreements
On May 16, 2019, the Funds’ Board approved a new investment advisory agreement between SFI, on behalf of each Fund, and Crossmark Global Investments (the “New Advisory Agreement”) that will be submitted to shareholders for approval, as well as a new administration agreement between SFI, on behalf of each Fund, and Crossmark Global Investments (the “New Administration Agreement” and together with the New Advisory Agreement, the “New Agreements”). If approved by shareholders, the New Advisory Agreement will go into effect on August 1, 2019 or the most practicable date following shareholder approval. The New Administration Agreement is not subject to shareholder approval and will go into effect on August 1, 2019.
The Funds’ Board approved the New Agreements as part of a proposal by Crossmark Global Investments to restructure and consolidate the Funds’ current agreements with Crossmark Global Investments and its affiliate, Crossmark Consulting, and to reset the fees thereunder, in connection with Crossmark Global Investments’ reorientation of the Funds’ business seeking to
73
expand the Funds’ shareholder base to include a broader group of both retail and institutional investors and, in light of this reorientation, to provide the resources needed for Crossmark Global Investments to continue to provide high quality services to the Funds at current asset levels and if assets grow. Under the proposal, Crossmark Global Investments recommends that the Funds’ four current agreements with Crossmark Global Investments and Crossmark Consulting for advisory, values-based screening, administration and compliance services (the “Current Agreements”) be replaced with the New Agreements, which would cover the same services currently provided to the Funds under the Current Agreements. In connection with the New Agreements, Crossmark Global Investments also proposes to reset the fees for its services, including (1) materially increasing the advisory fees charged to Steward Global Equity Income Fund and Steward Covered Call Income Fund and (2) revising the fee breakpoint schedules for all Funds under the New Agreements.
A special shareholder meeting of the Funds to vote on the proposal to approve the New Advisory Agreement is expected to be held in the second half of 2019. Any solicitation of proxies made in connection with this shareholder meeting will only be made pursuant to proxy materials filed with the SEC under applicable federal securities laws. There can be no assurance that the shareholders of the Funds will vote to approve the New Advisory Agreement. The foregoing is not a solicitation of any proxy.
Expense Limitation Agreement
The expense limitation agreement between SFI, on behalf of Steward Covered Call Income Fund, and Crossmark Global Investments, as described in Note 4, has been agreed to through August 30, 2020, such agreement to take effect upon the effectiveness of the New Advisory Agreement.

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.

DISCUSSION OF ANNUAL REVIEW AND APPROVAL OF
ADVISORY AGREEMENT FOR THE SERIES OF THE STEWARD FUNDS (Unaudited)
The Board of Directors (the “Board”) of Steward Funds, Inc. (the “Company”), including the Independent Directors, approved the renewal of the Amended and Restated Investment Advisory Agreement (the “Agreement”) between the Company, on behalf of each of Steward Large Cap Enhanced Index Fund, Steward Small-Mid Cap Enhanced Index Fund, Steward International Enhanced Index Fund, Steward Select Bond Fund, Steward Global Equity Income Fund and Steward Covered Call Income Fund, each a series of the Company (each a “Fund” and collectively, the “Funds”), and the Funds’ investment adviser, Crossmark Global Investments, Inc. (the “Adviser”), at an in-person meeting on February 27, 2019 (the “Meeting”). The Board determined that the continuation of the Agreement is in the best interests of each Fund in light of the nature, quality and extent of the services provided and such other matters as the Board considered to be relevant in the exercise of its reasonable business judgment.
To reach this determination, the Board considered its duties under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), as well as under the general principles of state law, in reviewing and approving investment advisory contracts; the requirements of the 1940 Act in such matters; the fiduciary duty of investment advisers with respect to investment advisory agreements and their compensation under such agreements; the standards used by courts in determining whether investment company boards have fulfilled their duties; and the factors to be considered by the Board in voting on such agreements. In advance of and during the Meeting, the Board, including the Independent Directors, reviewed materials provided by the Adviser and its affiliates responding to requests for information from Company counsel that, among other things, outlined the investment advisory, administrative, compliance and other services provided by the Adviser and its affiliates to the Funds (including the relevant personnel responsible for these services and their experience); the investment performance of each Fund as compared to a peer universe of funds provided by Broadridge Financial Solutions, Inc. (“Broadridge”), an independent provider (the “Performance Universe”), and as compared to the performance of relevant market benchmark indices; the investment advisory fee(s) charged to each Fund by the Adviser as compared to a peer group of funds provided by Broadridge (the “Expense Group”), and as compared to fees charged to other clients of the Adviser with similar investment objectives and policies as the Funds; expenses of each Fund as compared to the Expense Group; the nature of expenses incurred in providing services to the Funds and the potential for economies of scale, if any; financial data on the Adviser and its affiliates; and any other incidental or “fall out” benefits to the Adviser and its affiliates, Crossmark Consulting, LLC (“Crossmark Consulting”) and Crossmark Distributors, Inc. (“Crossmark Distributors” and with the Adviser and Crossmark Consulting, collectively “Crossmark”).
In considering the renewal of the Agreement for each Fund, the Independent Directors met independently of management and of the interested Directors to review and discuss the materials received from the Adviser and its affiliates. The Board applied its business judgment to determine whether the arrangement between the Company and the Adviser continues to be a reasonable business arrangement from each Fund’s perspective. The Board determined that, given the totality of the information provided with respect to the Agreement, the Board, in its judgment, had received sufficient information to renew the Agreement. The Board considered that shareholders chose to invest or remain invested in the Funds knowing that the Adviser manages the Funds and knowing the relevant Fund’s investment advisory fee(s). In determining to renew the Agreement for each Fund, the Board did not identify any single factor or group of factors as all important or controlling and considered all factors together, including the factors set forth below.
Nature, Quality and Extent of Services. The Board considered the nature, quality and extent of services provided by the Adviser to each Fund under the Agreement. The Board considered that the Adviser is responsible for investment advice, portfolio management and brokerage allocation, among other services under the Agreement. The Board also considered that the Adviser manages each Fund’s investments while also incorporating a customized values-based approach to investing. The Board noted that, pursuant to a separate agreement, Crossmark Consulting develops and maintains a values-based approach that produces a list of securities that are not eligible for investment by the Funds. The Board also noted that Crossmark Consulting provides various administrative and compliance services, including maintaining the Funds’ compliance program, under separate agreements. The Board considered the background and experience of the Crossmark employees responsible for providing the investment advisory, administrative, compliance and other services to the Funds.
At the Meeting, the Board met with the portfolio managers responsible for the day-to-day management of each Fund’s investments and discussed each Fund’s performance with the portfolio managers. The Board noted that it also meets with the portfolio managers to discuss investment performance at each quarterly Board meeting. The Board considered each Fund’s (other than Steward Covered Call Income Fund which commenced operations on December 14, 2017) investment performance (Institutional Class shares) over the one-, three-, five- and ten-year periods ended December 31, 2018 and Steward Covered Call Income Fund’s investment performance (Institutional Class shares) over the one-year period ended December 31, 2018, and compared each Fund’s performance to the performance of relevant market benchmarks and its Performance Universe. The Board
78
took into account that the Funds utilize customized criteria for a values-based approach to investing and discussed with the portfolio managers the impact of the values-based approach to investing on the Funds’ performance.
In light of the information presented and the considerations made, the Board concluded that the nature, quality and extent of the services provided to each Fund by the Adviser under the Agreement have been and are expected to remain satisfactory.
Fees and Expenses. The Board considered the investment advisory fee(s) for each Fund as compared to the investment advisory fees for the Expense Group. The Board also reviewed the expense ratio of each Fund as compared to the expense ratios of the Expense Group. The Board considered information provided by Broadridge on how it selected the peer funds included in the Expense Group for each Fund and considered certain limitations on the data provided. The Board noted that, with respect to comparing the Funds’ investment advisory fee(s) to the Expense Group, Broadridge included the fees for values-based screening, administrative and compliance services in the investment advisory fee(s) for the Funds. Based on the information provided, the Board noted that the investment advisory fee(s) charged to each Fund, except for Steward International Enhanced Index Fund and Steward Small-Mid Cap Enhanced Index Fund, was below the median investment advisory fee of its Expense Group and that, although the investment advisory fees(s) charged to Steward International Enhanced Index Fund and Steward Small-Mid Cap Enhanced Index Fund was above the median of its applicable Expense Group, such fee(s) was within a reasonable range of the applicable median. For Steward Covered Call Income Fund, the Board considered that the Adviser had contractually agreed to waive fees and/or reimburse expenses through at least December 13, 2019 to limit total annual operating expenses for the Fund, subject to the ability to recapture previously waived fees and/or reimbursed expenses under certain circumstances for a three-year period. The Board also considered information provided by the Adviser regarding fees currently charged to other clients with similar investment objectives and policies as the Funds, noting that the investment advisory fee(s) for each Fund was similar to the standard fees charged to the Adviser’s other clients. On the basis of the information provided, the Board concluded that the investment advisory fee(s) for each Fund continues to be reasonable and appropriate in light of the nature, quality and extent of the services provided by the Adviser to the Funds under the Agreement.
Profitability. The Board received the financial statements of Crossmark and, at the Meeting, discussed with management the estimated profitability to Crossmark for each Fund. Based upon the information provided, the Board concluded that any profits realized by Crossmark in connection with the Funds were not unreasonable.
Economies of Scale. The Board considered whether it was appropriate to consider any further economies of scale that may be had with respect to the management of each Fund. The Board reviewed the net assets of each Fund in addition to the above noted Fees and Expenses and Profitability of Crossmark when considering the current level of each Fund’s investment advisory fee(s) and noted that, except for Steward Covered Call Income Fund, given its size, each Fund’s current investment advisory fee schedule included breakpoints that already offered reasonable economies of scale that may benefit the Fund as assets grow. Based upon the information considered, the Board concluded that the investment advisory fee schedule for each Fund reflects an appropriate level of sharing of any economies of scale that may exist in the management of the Funds.
Other Benefits to the Adviser and Its Affiliates. The Board considered the character and amount of other benefits, incidental or otherwise, received by the Adviser and its affiliates as a result of the Adviser’s relationship to the Funds. The Board noted that Crossmark Distributors serves as the Company’s distributor and Crossmark Consulting provides administrative, compliance, class action and values-based screening services, among others, to the Funds. The Board considered payments under the Funds’ Rule 12b-1 Plan to Crossmark Distributors for distribution services as well as payments to Crossmark Consulting under its agreements with the Funds for various administrative, compliance and other services. The Board also noted that Crossmark Distributors does not execute portfolio transactions on behalf of the Funds. Additionally, the Board considered benefits to the Adviser related to brokerage and soft-dollar allocations, including allocating brokerage to pay for research generated by parties other than the executing broker dealers. The Board considered these direct and indirect benefits in reaching its conclusion that each Fund’s investment advisory fee(s) was reasonable.
Conclusion. Based upon all the information considered and the conclusions reached, the Board unanimously determined that the terms of the Agreement continue to be fair and reasonable and that continuation of the Agreement for each Fund is in the best interests of each Fund.

The table below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information below, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the table under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.

Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes (Unaudited)
The table 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 this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of other funds.
Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only. The Funds do not charge transactional costs, such as sales charges (front or back end loads) or exchange fees, although other funds might. Therefore, this table is useful only in comparing ongoing costs and will not help you determine the relative costs of owning different funds.
