Strategy

Invests primarily in U.S equity securities and uses optimized indexing techniques to reflect the performance of the S&P SmallCap 600 Index, while incorporating stewardship investing criteria.
Attempts to minimize risk through diversification.

Risks

The Fund is also subject to small capitalization company risk. Small capitalization companies may not have the size, resources or other assets of large capitalization companies. These small capitalization companies may be more vulnerable to economic, market and competitive pressures than larger companies and therefore may respond differently to market events, and may be subject to greater market risks and fluctuations in value than larger companies. In addition, application of screens may cause the Fund to vary from the performance of its index and other small cap funds.

Making a difference

Praxis stewardship investing is a values-based approach to socially responsible investing that incorporates:

Values and ESG-informed restrictive screens
Corporate engagement strategy
Values-driven proxy voting policy
One percent of the fund assets committed to community development investing
