The Fund seeks to achieve its investment objective by primarily investing in U.S. common stocks and affiliated exchange-traded funds (ETFs). The Fund will normally invest at least 80% of the Funds total assets in ETFs and in companies whose total market capitalization exceeds $2 billion. This Fund invests using a value investing style, including value style ETFs. Value funds typically emphasize stocks whose prices are below average in relation to such measures as earnings and book value; these stocks often have above-average dividend yields. Growth and value stocks have historically produced similar long-term returns, though each category has periods when it outperforms the other. ? 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. ? In determining whether to invest in a particular company, the Funds Investment Manager focuses on a number of different attributes of the company, including the companys market expertise, balance sheet, improving return on equity, price-to-earnings ratios, industry position and strength, management, and a number of other factors. Analyzing companies in this manner is known as a bottom-up approach to investing. 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 Managers investment criteria. ? The Fund may, from time to time, take temporary defensive positions that are inconsistent with the Funds principal investment strategies in attempting to respond to adverse market, economic, political, or other conditions. When the Fund takes a defensive position, the Funds 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.
