Strategy

Invests primarily in U.S. equity securities and uses optimized indexing techniques to reflect the performance of the Standard & Poor's 500 Growth Index, while incorporating stewardship investing criteria.
Attempts to minimize risk through diversification.

Risks

Equity securities (stocks) are more volatile and carry more risk than other forms of investments, including investments in high-grade fixed income securities. The net asset value per share of this fund will fluctuate as the value of the securities in the portfolio changes. Common stocks, and funds investing in common stocks, generally provide greater return potential when compared with other types of investments. Growth-based investments are subject to the risk that the broad market may overstate their intrinsic value.

Making a difference

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

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