The Quaker Index Fund invests in large cap domestic equities through an SEC registered, third-party advisory firm. The market price of the equity investments may fluctuate and may decline along with moves in the broader equity markets or due to economic, industry or company specific events. Portfolio construction, sector allocation and portfolio management practices may not deliver desired results. The investment manager who works in an advisory capacity may not deliver investment results as anticipated. Investors in the fund could experience a decrease in the principal value of their investment or go through a period of underperformance relative to the benchmark.
