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 |
|
$121 |
$406 |
$711 |
$1,579 |
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 40% of the average value of its portfolio.
PRINCIPAL INVESTMENT STRATEGIES
|
● |
The Fund seeks to achieve its investment objective by primarily investing at least 80% of the Fund's total assets in larger U.S. stocks and affiliated exchange-traded funds ("ETFs"). Larger stocks refer to the common stock of companies whose total market capitalization is generally greater than $2 billion. Current income is not a significant investment consideration and any such income realized will be considered incidental to the Fund's investment objective. |
|
● |
In determining the allocation between the ETFs and the sub-advised portfolio, among other things, the Adviser, in consultation with an outside market strategy group, considers the short term versus a longer outlook, market stability and volatility, and whether the environment appears to be in a normal pro-growth, neutral, or contraction cycle. |
|
● |
The Fund invests using a growth investing style, including growth style ETFs. Growth funds generally focus on stocks of companies believed to have above-average potential for growth in revenue, earnings, cash flow, or other similar criteria. These stocks typically have low dividend yields and above-average prices in relation to such measures as earnings and book value. Growth and value stocks have historically produced similar long-term returns, though each category has periods when it outperforms the other. |
|
● |
The Fund normally invests in a portfolio of securities which includes a broadly diversified number of common stocks that the Fund's Investment Manager believes show a high probability of superior prospects for above average growth. The Fund's Investment Manager chooses these securities using a "bottom-up" approach of extensively analyzing the financial, management and overall economic conditions of each potential investment. Companies that meet or exceed specific criteria established by the Manager in the selection process are purchased. Securities are sold when they reach internally determined pricing targets or no longer qualify under the Manager's investment criteria. |
|
● |
The Fund may, from time to time, take temporary defensive positions that are inconsistent with the Fund's principal investment strategies in attempting to respond to adverse market, economic, political, or other conditions. When the Fund takes a defensive position, the Fund's assets will be held in cash and/or cash equivalents. |
|
● |
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. |
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.
SUMMARY PROSPECTUS (CLASS I) / 2
Stock Market Risk. The Fund is an equity fund, so it is subject to the risks inherent in the stock market in general. The stock market is cyclical, with prices generally rising and falling over periods of time. Some of these price cycles can be pronounced and last for a long time.
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.
Growth Risk. The Fund often invests in companies after assessing their growth potential. Securities of growth companies may be more volatile than other stocks. If a portfolio manager's perception of a company's growth potential is not realized, the securities purchased may not perform as expected, reducing the Fund's return. In addition, because different types of stocks tend to shift in and out of favor depending on market and economic conditions, "growth" stocks may perform differently from the market as a whole and other types of securities.
Larger Company Investing Risk. Larger, more established companies may be unable to respond quickly to new competitive challenges like changes in consumer tastes or innovative smaller competitors. Also, larger companies are sometimes unable to attain the high growth rates of successful, smaller companies, especially during extended periods of economic expansion.
Mid-Sized Company Investing Risk. Investing in mid-sized companies often involves greater risk than investing in larger companies. Mid-sized companies may not have the management experience, financial resources, product diversification and competitive strengths of larger companies. The securities of mid-sized companies, therefore, tend to be more volatile than the securities of larger, more established companies. Mid-sized company stocks tend to be bought and sold less often and in smaller amounts than larger company stocks. Because of this, if a fund wants to sell a large quantity of a mid-sized company's stock, it may have to sell at a lower price than would otherwise be indicated, or it may have to sell in smaller than desired quantities over an increased time period.
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.
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.
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.
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.
PAST PERFORMANCE
The following bar chart and table provide some indication of the risks of investing in the Fund by showing the variability of the Fund's performance from year to year and by comparing the Fund's performance to a broad-based index and an index that is more representative of the Fund's investment strategy. The Fund's past performance (before and after taxes) is not necessarily an indication of how the Fund will perform in the future. More up-to-date returns are available on the Fund's website at fund.timothyplan.com, or by calling the Fund at (800) 846-7526.

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. |

The Russell 1000 Index is an unmanaged index of 1000 companies in the United States, and therefore reflects the broad market sector for the Fund. The Russell 1000 Growth Index is a more growth oriented sub-set of the Russell 1000 Index that is a widely recognized, unmanaged index of 1000 large-capitalization companies in the United States. The indices assume reinvestment of all dividends and distributions and do not reflect any asset-based charges for investment management or other expenses. |

PAYMENT TO BROKER-DEALERS AND OTHER FINANCIAL INTERMEDIARIES
