SUMMARY PROSPECTUS (CLASS I) / 1
EXAMPLE:
This Example is intended to help you compare the cost of investing in the Fund with the cost of investing in other mutual funds. The Example assumes that you invest $10,000 in the Fund for the time periods indicated and then redeem all of your shares at the end of those periods. The Example also assumes that your investment has a 5% return each year and that the Fund's operating expenses remain the same. Although your actual costs may be higher or lower, based on these assumptions, your costs would be:
|
1 YEAR |
3 YEARS |
5 YEARS |
10 YEARS |
|
$162 |
$609 |
$1,082 |
$2,391 |
Your costs for this share class would be the same whether or not you redeem your shares at the end of any period.
PORTFOLIO TURNOVER
The Fund pays transaction costs, such as commissions, when it buys and sells securities (or "turns over" its portfolio). A higher portfolio turnover rate may indicate higher transaction costs and may result in higher taxes when Fund shares are held in a taxable account. These costs, which are not reflected in annual Fund operating expenses or in the Example, affect the Fund's performance. During the Fund's most recent fiscal year, the Fund's portfolio turnover rate was 67% of the average value of its portfolio.
PRINCIPAL INVESTMENT STRATEGIES
To achieve its goal, the Fund will invest varying percentages of the Fund's total assets in the investment allocations set forth below:
|
● |
To achieve its goals, the Fund primarily invests in equity securities (currently affiliated Exchange-Traded Funds ("ETFs")), and in fixed income securities. The Fund will normally hold both equity securities and fixed income securities, with at least 25% of its assets in equity securities and at least 25% of its assets in fixed income securities. The Adviser is responsible for determining the allocation of Fund assets to be invested in equity and fixed income securities. The Adviser will adjust those allocations from time to time in response to market changes. |
|
● |
The Fund's fixed income holdings invest at least 80% of its assets in a diversified portfolio of corporate bonds, U.S. government and agency securities, convertible securities and preferred securities. The Investment Manager will only purchase securities for the Fund that are investment grade, with a rating of at least "BBB" as rated by Standard & Poor's or a comparable rating by another nationally recognized rating agency. The Fund may also invest in debt securities that have not been rated by one of the major rating agencies, so long as the Fund's Investment Manager has determined that the security is of comparable credit quality to similarly rated securities. |
|
● |
In managing the fixed income securities, the Fund's Investment Manager concentrates on sector analysis, industry allocation and securities selection, deciding which types of bonds and industries to emphasize at a given time, and then which individual bonds to buy. The fixed income holdings are meant to anticipate shifts in the business cycle and assists in determining types of bonds and industry sectors to target. In choosing individual securities, the fixed income portion of the Fund seeks out securities that appear to be undervalued within the emphasized industry sector. Companies that meet or exceed specific criteria established by the Investment Manager in the selection process are purchased. Securities are sold when they reach internally determined pricing targets or no longer qualify under the Investment Manager's investment criteria. |
|
● |
The Fund's equity securities sector currently consists of affiliated ETFs. |
|
● |
The Fund will not invest in Excluded Securities. Excluded Securities are securities issued by any company that is involved in the production or wholesale distribution of alcohol, tobacco, or gambling equipment, gambling enterprises, or which is involved, either directly or indirectly, in abortion or pornography, or promoting anti-family entertainment or unbiblical lifestyles. Timothy Partners, Ltd. ("TPL") is Investment Adviser to the Funds and is responsible for determining what companies are deemed Excluded Securities, and reserves the right to exclude investments, in its best judgment, in other companies whose practices may not fall within the exclusions described above, but could be found offensive to fundamental, traditional Judeo-Christian values. The Adviser establishes the Biblically Responsible Investing parameters that are employed by the research service provider in the creation of the "excluded list of companies" that may not be placed into any Timothy Plan portfolio. The research company may not alter, delete, or employ additional parameters without the prior knowledge and consent of the Adviser. In the event a company is discovered to be engaged in a prohibited practice, it will be liquidated as soon as reasonably practicable. The ETFs are passively managed. They are reviewed at the time of readjustment of the portfolios, which occurs twice a year. Securities that are determined to be in violation of the filters (as a result of changes since the initial review) between adjustment times will be liquidated from the portfolio at the time of the readjustment. |
SUMMARY PROSPECTUS (CLASS I) / 2
PRINCIPAL RISKS OF INVESTING IN THE FUND
The principal risks of investing in the Fund are summarized below. As with any investment, there is a risk that you could lose all or a portion of your investment in the Fund. Each risk summarized below is considered a "principal risk" of investing in the Fund, regardless of the order in which it appears.
Stock Market Risk. Overall stock market risks may affect the value of the Fund. Factors such as domestic economic growth and market conditions, interest rate levels, and political events affect the securities markets. When the value of the Fund's investments goes down, your investment in the Fund decreases in value and you could lose money.
Fixed Income Risk. The Fund invests in fixed income securities. These securities will increase or decrease in value based on changes in interest rates. If rates increase, the value of the Fund's fixed income securities generally will decline, and those securities with longer terms generally will decline more. Your investment will decline in value if the value of the Fund's investments decreases. There is a risk that issuers and counterparties will not make payments on fixed income securities and repurchase agreements held by the Fund. Such defaults could result in losses to the Fund. Securities with lower credit quality have a greater risk of default. In addition, the credit quality of securities held by the Fund may be lowered if an issuer's financial condition changes. Lower credit quality may lead to greater volatility in the price of a security and in shares of the Fund. Lower credit quality also may affect liquidity and make it difficult for the Fund to sell the security.
Management Risk. The Adviser's judgments about the attractiveness, value and potential appreciation of a particular asset class or individual security in which the Fund invests may prove to be incorrect. The Fund may experience losses regardless of the overall performance of the market.
Small Cap Company Risk. Smaller capitalization companies may experience higher failure rates than do larger capitalization companies. In addition, smaller companies may be more vulnerable to economic, market and industry changes. As a result, share price changes may be more sudden or erratic than the prices of other equity securities, especially over the short term. Such companies may have limited product lines, markets or financial resources and may lack management depth. The trading volume of securities of smaller capitalization companies is normally less than that of larger capitalization companies, and therefore may disproportionately affect their market price, tending to make them fall more in response to selling pressure than is the case with larger capitalization companies. Some small capitalization stocks may be illiquid. These risks may be enhanced for micro-cap securities. Many micro-cap companies tend to be new and have no proven track record. Some of these companies have no assets or operations, while others have products and services that are still in development or have yet to be tested in the market. Because micro-cap stocks trade in low volumes, any size of trade can have a large percentage impact on the price of the stock.
Foreign Investment Risk. Foreign investing involves risks not typically associated with U.S. investments. These risks include, among others, adverse fluctuations in foreign currency values as well as adverse political, social and economic developments affecting a foreign country. In addition, foreign investing involves less publicly available information, and more volatile or less liquid securities markets. Investments in foreign countries could be affected by factors not present in the U.S., such as restrictions on receiving the investment proceeds from a foreign country, foreign tax laws, and potential difficulties in enforcing contractual obligations. Foreign accounting may be less transparent than U.S. accounting practices and foreign regulation may be inadequate or irregular. Owning foreign securities could cause the Fund's performance to fluctuate more than if it held only U.S. securities.
Municipal Securities Risk. The power or ability of an issuer to make principal and interest payments on municipal securities may be materially adversely affected by economic conditions, litigation or other factors. The Fund's right to receive principal and interest payments may be subject to the provisions of bankruptcy, insolvency, and other laws affecting the rights and remedies of creditors, as well as laws, if any, which may be enacted by Congress or state legislatures extending the time for payment of principal and/or interest or imposing other constraints upon the enforcement of such obligations. In addition, substantial changes in federal income tax laws could cause municipal security prices to decline because the demand for municipal securities is strongly influenced by the value of tax exempt income to investors.
Sovereign Debt Risk. The Fund may invest in sovereign debt obligations. Investment in sovereign debt obligations involves special risks not present in corporate debt obligations. The issuer of the sovereign debt or the governmental authorities that control the repayment of the debt may be unable or unwilling to repay principal or interest when due, and the Fund may have limited recourse in the event of a default. During periods of economic uncertainty, the market prices of sovereign debt, and the Fund's net asset value, may be more volatile than prices of U.S. debt obligations.
Exchange-Traded Fund Risk. An ETF may trade at a discount to its net asset value. Investors in the Fund will indirectly bear fees and expenses charged by the underlying ETFs in which the Fund invests, in addition to the Fund's direct fees and expenses. The Fund will also incur brokerage costs when it purchases shares of ETFs. In addition, the Fund will be affected by losses of the underlying ETF and the level of risk arising from the investment practices of the underlying ETF.
Excluded Security Risk. Because the Fund does not invest in Excluded Securities and will divest itself of securities that are subsequently discovered to be ineligible, the Fund may be riskier than other funds that invest in a broader array of securities.
General Risk. As with most other mutual funds, you can lose money by investing in this Fund. Share prices fluctuate from day to day, and when you sell your shares, they may be worth less than you paid for them.
SUMMARY PROSPECTUS (CLASS I) / 3
Investing In Other Funds Risk. The Fund invests in the securities of other investment companies. To the extent that the Fund invests in other mutual funds, exchange-traded funds and other commingled funds, it will indirectly bear the expenses of those funds, which will cause the Fund's return to be lower.
Cybersecurity Risks. Despite the various protections utilized by the Fund and its service providers, systems, networks, or devices utilized by the Fund potentially can be breached. The Fund and its shareholders could be negatively impacted as a result of a cybersecurity breach.

After-tax returns are calculated using the historical highest individual federal marginal income tax rates and do not reflect the impact of state and local taxes. After-tax returns depend on an investor's tax situation and may differ from those shown. After-tax returns shown are not relevant to investors who hold their Fund shares through tax-deferred arrangements, such as 401(k) plans or individual retirement accounts. In certain cases, return after taxes on distributions and sale of shares may be higher than the other return figures for the same period. This will occur when a capital loss is realized upon the sale of shares or provides an assumed tax benefit that increases the return. |
