Steward Funds, Inc.

(Unaudited)

 

Portfolio Valuation: Steward Funds, Inc. (individually a “Fund” and, collectively, the “Funds”) consists of four Funds – Steward Large Cap Enhanced Index Fund, Steward International Enhanced Index Fund, Steward Select Bond Fund and Steward Global Equity Income Fund. Fund investments are recorded at fair value. In determining fair value, the Funds use various valuation approaches. Portfolio securities listed on a domestic or foreign exchange are valued at the last sale price on the day of valuation or, if there was no sale that day, at the mean between the last reported bid and asked prices as of the close of trading. Equity securities traded on NASDAQ use the official closing price, if available, and otherwise, use the last reported sale price, or the mean between the last reported bid and asked prices if there was no sale on that day. Equity securities that are traded in the over-the-counter market only, but that are not included on NASDAQ, are valued at the last sale price on the day of valuation. Debt securities, including corporate bonds and U.S. government agency, mortgage-backed, and treasury obligations, with a remaining maturity of sixty days or more are valued using market prices, if available, or a pricing service when such prices are believed to reflect fair value. Debt securities with a remaining maturity of less than sixty days are valued at amortized cost, which approximates fair value. Money market funds are valued at net asset value per share. All other securities and securities with no readily determinable market values are valued at their fair value in accordance with policies and procedures adopted by the Board of Directors.

 

The Steward Select Bond Fund’s investment in mortgage bonds of religious organizations (“church mortgage bonds”) are generally considered to be illiquid due to the limited, if any, secondary market for these bonds. In the absence of such secondary market, the Steward Select Bond Fund values investments in church mortgage bonds on the basis of readily available market quotations, if available. Lacking such quotations, the Fund values such bonds using a pricing service when such prices are believed to reflect fair value. Bonds with no readily available market quotations or pricing service valuations are fair valued using policies approved by and under the general oversight of the Board of Directors. In determining fair value, all relevant qualitative and quantitative factors available are considered. These factors are subject to change over time and are reviewed periodically. Capstone Asset Management Company’s (“CAMCO” or the “Adviser”) fair valuation process is reviewed and refined by the Adviser’s Internal Valuation Committee no less than monthly and is subject to quarterly review and approval from the Fund’s Board of Directors.

 

Fair value may be determined using a matrix formula (Market Approach) that derives a price based on relevant factors, including principal amount, interest rate, term, credit quality and spreads determined under a church bond benchmark yield curve. The Adviser constructs and maintains a benchmark yield curve based on new issue church bonds meeting the Fund’s investment requirements. The Adviser obtains credit research and analysis from various industry sources, including an underwriter of mortgage bonds. The Market Approach is sensitive to changes in the yield of new church bond issues and the discount rate applied to the matrix. A reduced yield causes the price to increase. An increased discount rate causes the price to decrease.

 

When the bond issue becomes delinquent on sinking fund payments or when significant principal or balloon payments are due within the next three years, it is the judgment of the Adviser that the credit quality of the issuer may be impacted. Pursuant to fair value procedures adopted by the Fund’s Board of Directors, the Adviser, under these circumstances, may determine an adjustment to the matrix price. The relevant inputs that the Adviser may consider in establishing the fair value include, but would not be limited to:

 

 - the general conditions in the church bond market and the overall financial market

 - the transaction price of any recent sales or purchases of the security

 - the transaction price, maturity and yield-to-maturity of any other fixed income security of the issuer

 

 
 

 

 - the estimated value of the underlying collateral

 - the issuer’s payment history, including the consideration of default on interest payments and/or delinquency of sinking fund payments; as well as conditions for accrual of interest and consideration of the collectability of accrued interest

 

In addition, the fair value procedures also have specific provisions for treatment of defaulted bonds. When it becomes more than a remote possibility that foreclosure proceedings are probable, the Adviser will take an Income Approach to the valuation of the securities. The relevant inputs that the Adviser may consider in using the Income Approach to determine a fair value include, but would not be limited to:

 

- any current independent appraisal values

- any current listing price

- index adjusted appraisal values based on published real estate sources

- estimated costs associated with the disposition of the property

- risk adjusted discount rate

- estimated time to sell in years

- probability of foreclosure

 

The Income Approach is sensitive to changes in appraisal value, costs associated with the disposition of property, discount rates, estimated time to sell and the probability of foreclosure. An increase in an appraisal value causes the fair value to increase, conversely a decrease in an appraisal value causes fair value to decrease. Such movements in the appraisal value would be deemed to have the most significant impact on fair value under the Income Approach. An increase in costs associated with disposition of property, discount rates, estimated time to sell and the probability of foreclosure cause the fair value to decrease. A decrease to the aforementioned types of changes cause the fair value to increase.

 

Because of the inherent uncertainty of valuations determined by utilizing the above procedures, the estimated fair values may differ significantly from the values that another party might estimate or that would have been used had a ready market for the investments existed. The differences could be material. The estimated fair values may also be influenced by various market trends and can fluctuate significantly. As a result, it is reasonably possible that management's estimate of fair value may have significant changes in the near term.

 

Accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP") establishes a fair value hierarchy for inputs used in measuring fair value that maximizes the use of observable inputs and minimizes the use of unobservable inputs by requiring that the most observable inputs be used when available. Observable inputs are those that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability based on market data obtained from sources independent of the Funds. Unobservable inputs reflect the Funds’ assumptions about the inputs market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability developed based on the best information available in the circumstances.

 

The fair value hierarchy is categorized into three levels based on the inputs as follows:

 

Level 1 – Quoted prices in active markets for identical securities.

 

Level 2 – Other significant observable inputs other than Level 1 quoted prices (including, but not limited to, quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds and credit risks).

 

Level 3 – Significant unobservable inputs (including the Funds’ own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments).

 

Pursuant to these valuation policies, equity securities are generally categorized as Level 1 securities in the fair value hierarchy (unless there is a fair valuation event, in which case affected securities are generally categorized as Level 2). Debt securities are generally categorized as Level 2 securities in the fair value hierarchy, except that U.S. Treasury debt securities may be categorized as Level 1, and church mortgage bonds are generally categorized as Level 3. Money market funds are generally categorized as Level 1 securities in the fair value hierarchy.
