Letter to Shareholders
by Joseph Keefe, President & CEO
(PHOTO OF JOSEPH KEEFE)
Dear fellow shareholders,
It was the best of times, it was the worst of times. It’s hard not to quote Dickens at a time like this. Truly, the first half of 2009 has been a challenging, see-saw period for investors. The first two plus months of the year—up to and including the market nadir on March 9—witnessed a continuation of the free-fall market sell-off that characterized the last four months of 2008. Then, suddenly the market turned, and during the second quarter of 2009 the S&P 500 was up 15.93%.
There is a debate raging between bulls and bears about what all of this means. Or perhaps we should say between those who are becoming a little more bullish, or optimistic, and those who remain decidedly bearish/pessimistic. True bulls—of the “Dow 30,000” variety—seem to have disappeared, along with the reckless appetite for risk and leverage that helped pave the way for this crisis. That’s probably a good thing. Perhaps a modicum of humility and restraint will return to markets—and to financial professionals. But suffice it to say that investor sentiment has thawed and that a degree of (cautious) optimism is creeping back into equity and bond markets.
At Pax World, we side with the cautious optimists. If you read our portfolio manager commentaries in these pages, you will note that, as a group, they believe we are beginning to see the opportunities that can arise following a sustained period of reduced valuations and prices. Moreover, although their absolute and relative performance obviously varied, I am pleased to report that all seven Pax World Funds delivered positive year-to-date returns through June 30, 2009—a welcome departure from the second half of 2008 and even the first few months of 2009.
Regarding the future, despite continued unemployment and other challenges, there are signs that the larger economy may be finding its way to the bottom of this recession and the beginnings of a recovery. It is also starting to look like the policies of the Fed, combined with the Obama administration’s stimulus package and government intervention to shore up troubled industries (banks, auto manufacturers) are policies that may have staved off an even deeper recession—or even depression—and are beginning to yield positive benefits.

There remain serious questions about whether the bank bailouts and other actions were a good deal for taxpayers, or whether they will prove positive or detrimental over the long term. We also still don’t know what ultimate shape new financial regulations will take: will there be serious long-term fixes or simply a return to business-as-usual, setting the stage for future bubbles that, alas, must also inevitably burst? There are certainly some disturbing signs that Wall Street is quickly returning to its profligate ways. However, there are also signs that positive steps are being taken to prevent this sort of financial debacle from happening again. And there are certainly signs that a recovery is taking shape—a tepid or muted recovery, perhaps, but a recovery just the same.
On the Sustainable Investing front, I am pleased to report that there have been some very positive developments coming from our nation’s capital. These include a new Chair of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), Mary Schapiro, who seems committed to reform—including giving shareholders access to the corporate proxy ballot to nominate directors, something Pax World has advocated for many years. The SEC is also considering rulemaking and has requested public comment on so-called “say-on-pay” provisions that would allow shareholders to cast an annual, nonbinding advisory vote on executive compensation. We are hopeful that financial regulators will see the wisdom of giving shareholders a voice when it comes to executive compensation—not only for companies that have received TARP funds but for all companies. The U.S. House of Representatives has already passed a bill that would give shareholders such an advisory vote. During the last few years, Pax World has supported and filed shareholder resolutions at a number of companies urging them to give shareholders such a say-on-pay advisory vote —so we are heartened by these developments in Washington.
The SEC also recently named an Investor Advisory Committee to advise it on a range of issues affecting investors, whose members include several leaders from the Sustainable Investing community as well as colleagues with whom we frequently work in the corporate governance, labor and institutional investor communities. As Julie Gorte references in her report herein, Pax World is also involved in efforts to urge the SEC to require disclosure of environmental, social and governance (ESG) performance, regulation and disclosure of greenhouse gas emissions, and other issues that impact investors. These are all issues that Pax World and the Sustainable Investing industry more broadly have been working on for many years. It is encouraging to see the progress that is now being made on many of these issues, which could greatly benefit investors in the years ahead.

So, despite the immense challenges before us in the economic realm, there are also signs of progress. We really do believe that there are reasons to be optimistic—cautiously optimistic, to be sure, but with conviction just the same. In sharing with you this, our 2009 Semi-Annual Report, we hope you find reasons to agree.
Sincerely,
-s- Joseph F. Keefe
Joseph F. Keefe
President and CEO

Pax World Balanced Fund
(PHOTO OF CRISTOPHER BROWN)
Portfolio Manager’s Comments
How did the Pax World Balanced Fund perform in 2009? For the six-month period ended June 30, 2009, Individual Investor Class, Institutional Class, and R Class shares of the Fund had total returns of 6.50%, 6.63%, and 6.42%, respectively, vs. 3.16% for the S&P 500 Index and 2.66% for the 60% S&P 500/40% Barclay’s Capital Aggregate Bond Index blend. For the same six-month period the Lipper Balanced Funds Index had a total return of 5.95%.
What were the most important factors that influenced the performance of the Pax World Balanced Fund during the first six months of 2009? Sector allocation had a large influence on the Fund’s performance throughout the first half of the year. An underweight position in the financial services sector relative to the benchmark was a significant contributor to the Fund’s outperformance, especially in the first quarter when financial services companies underperformed most other sectors as toxic assets continued to weigh heavily on their balance sheets. The Fund’s underweight of the industrial sector also contributed to its strong relative performance as weak industrial data points pressured this group.
Stock selection in the energy sector, with companies such as Suncor Energy and Noble Corporation, contributed positively to performance, as did the Fund’s holding in CME Group, an electronic trading platform company that was one of the few bright spots in the financials sector during the first quarter.
Factors that had a negative impact on the Fund’s performance included an underweight position in consumer discretionary in the Fund’s equity holdings. With the health care sector underperforming the market, both stock selection and a relative overweight position in that sector negatively impacted the Fund’s performance for the period, with two U.S.-based medical technology holdings, Stryker Corp. and Baxter International, significantly declining. Overweight positions in Procter & Gamble and H.J. Heinz Co., both of which performed poorly, brought down performance. The Fund’s position in GameStop Corp., which was a favorable contributor to performance during the first quarter, lost significant value during the second half of the period due in part to the ongoing threat of competitors entering the used video game business.

Pax World Balanced Fund, continued
What are some examples of securities bought and sold by the Pax World Balanced Fund during the first six months of 2009? During the period we decreased the Fund’s overweight position in consumer staples by eliminating positions in Avon Products, General Mills, H.J. Heinz Co. and McCormick & Co. and began focusing on less defensive sectors within the equity markets. We added to Goldman Sachs and JPMorgan Chase in the financials sector and Deere & Co., Emerson Electric and Diana Shipping in the industrials sector.
Toward the end of the period, we increased the Fund’s equity exposure by adding to underweight positions in financials and consumer discretionary while reducing exposure to fixed income holdings in agency, mortgage-backed and Treasury securities. While Treasury yields increased over the period, we still believed it to be an overvalued asset class and therefore sold a portion of the Fund’s Treasury holdings for profit-taking.

Pax World Growth Fund
(PHOTO OF CRISTOPHER BROWN & ANTHONY TRZCINKA)
Portfolio Managers’ Comments
How did the Pax World Growth Fund perform in 2009?
For the six-month period ended June 30, 2009, Individual Investor Class, Institutional Class, and R Class shares of the Fund had total returns of 13.07%, 13.20%, and 12.85%, respectively, vs. 11.52% for the Russell 3000 Growth Index. For the same six-month period the Lipper Multi-Cap Growth Funds Index had a total return of 12.56%.
What were the most important factors that influenced the performance of the Pax World Growth Fund during the first six months of 2009? The Fund’s outperformance relative to its benchmark was primarily influenced by stock selection. Brocade Communications Systems, Inc. and Citrix Systems, Inc. were both strong performers in information technology. In consumer staples, Whole Foods Market, Inc. made a positive contribution to the Fund’s performance.
An overweight position in the consumer discretionary sector contributed positively during the first quarter, with Amazon.com, Best Buy and GameStop Corp. providing significant early gains. However, by the end of the period stock selection in this sector detracted from performance with Best Buy struggling in the continued challenging economic environment and GameStop suffering a decline due to increased pressure from competitors in the used video game market. Also on the downside, the health care sector underperformed, with Eclipsys Corp. in particular having a negative impact on performance. Industrials sector holdings Terex Corp. and Pall Corp. were hurt by the slowdown in construction.
What are some examples of securities bought and sold by the Pax World Growth Fund during the first six months of 2009? Throughout the first half of the year, we followed an “early cyclical” strategy, adding to technology, energy and materials based on our view that the macro backdrop for stocks was moderately bullish. Prompted by a quick run-up in valuations in consumer discretionary we took some profits, selling/trimming positions such as Best Buy and Amazon.com, and redeployed portfolio assets in what we believe are more attractive opportunities.

June 30, 2009
Pax World Growth Fund, continued
In technology we added Brocade Communications Systems, Inc., a maker of computer networking equipment. In energy we added Noble Corp., an integrated oil services company. In the materials sector we added to our Syngenta and Airgas positions.
Stimulus funding, along with slightly improving fundamentals, made additional exposure in financials appear prudent so we took what we believe is a conservative approach by increasing the Fund’s holdings in foreign banks and in trust companies with the addition of Credit Suisse Group and Northern Trust Corp.
We sold the Fund’s position in Eclipsys Corp., which experienced a pull-back following a large run-up last year. Hewlett Packard was another company that we sold during the year. The tough economic environment has slowed purchases of its hardware and printer products and the company has seen new entrants (e.g. Cisco) into its server business, which we believe could hurt future margins.

Pax World Small Cap Fund
(PHOTO OF NATHAN MOSER)
Portfolio Manager’s Comments
How did the Pax World Small Cap Fund perform in the first six months of 2009? For the six-month period ended June 30, 2009, Individual Investor Class, Institutional Class, and R Class shares of the Fund had total returns of 16.96%, 17.06%, and 16.81%, respectively, vs. 2.64% for the Russell 2000 Index. For the same six-month period the Lipper Small-Cap Core Funds Index had a total return of 8.23%.
What were the most important factors that influenced the performance of the Pax World Small Cap Fund during the first six months of 2009? Strong stock selection and the Fund’s weighting towards higher quality, defensive companies were the largest contributors to performance. In addition, an underweight position in financials coupled with an overweight position in energy also contributed to the outperformance.
Poor stock selection and an underweight position in consumer discretionary detracted from performance. The Fund’s underweight position was based on concerns regarding consumer debt levels, deteriorating net worth and rising unemployment.
What are some examples of securities bought and sold by the Pax World Small Cap Fund during the first six months of 2009? The Fund’s portfolio was active during the first half of 2009, as market volatility led to numerous perceived opportunities. From a sector standpoint, health care was the largest overweight relative to the index during the period. We acknowledge the regulatory and political risk, but believe the sector’s stable earnings growth and relatively inexpensive valuation offset these concerns.
We sold both NVE Corp and BE Aerospace during the period due to our belief that their valuations were nearing fair value.

2   The Russell 2000 Index is an unmanaged index and measures the performance of the small-cap segment of the U.S. equity universe. The Russell 2000 Index is a subset of the Russell 3000 Index representing approximately 10% of the total market capitalization of that index.

3   The Lipper Small-Cap Core Funds Index tracks the results of the 30 largest mutual funds in the Lipper Small-Cap Core Funds Average. The Lipper Small-Cap Core Funds Average is a total return performance average of the mutual funds tracked by Lipper, Inc. that, by portfolio practice, invest at least 75% of their equity assets in companies with market capitalizations (on a three-year weighted basis) below Lipper’s USDE small-cap ceiling. Small-cap core funds have more latitude in the companies in which they invest. These funds typically have an average price-to-earnings ratio, price-to-book ratio, and three-year sales-per-share growth value, compared to the S&P SmallCap 600 Index. The Lipper Small-Cap Core Funds Index is not what is typically considered to be an “index” because it tracks the performance of other mutual funds rather than the changes in the value of a group of securities, a securities index or some other traditional economic indicator.

Portfolio Manager’s Comments
How did the Pax World International Fund perform in the first six months of 2009? For the six-month period ended June 30, 2009, Individual Investor Class, Institutional Class, and R Class shares of the Fund had total returns of 16.69%, 16.95%, and 16.47%, respectively, vs. 7.95% for the MSCI EAFE (Net) Index. For the same six-month period the Lipper International Large-Cap Core Funds Index had a total return of 6.34%.
What were the most important factors that influenced the performance of the Pax World International Fund during the first six months of 2009? Stock selection was the strongest performance contributor during the first two quarters of the year. Selection added value across all sectors and all regions with the exception of Asia. The international markets rebounded sharply from early March, and companies benefiting from the return of emerging market demand saw the largest appreciation in value. Among these, global commodity producers like Rio Tinto and Petrobras, metals recycler Sims Metal Management, and Turkish bank Halkbank were among the strongest contributors to portfolio performance during the first half of the year. The portfolio’s large allocation to Emerging Markets, almost 10% at the end of June, was also a strong positive contributor to performance. On the negative side, the portfolio suffered most from a large underweight to the Financials sector. Financials comprise almost 25% of the EAFE benchmark, and experienced the strongest rebound from March market lows.
What are some examples of securities bought and sold by the Pax World International Fund during the first six months of 2009? The Fund divested of positions in fish farmer Cermaq, energy company Suncor, Italian bank UniCredit SpA, Austrian capital equipment producer Andritz, luxury goods company LVMH, pharmaceutical company Merck KgA, aluminum maker Norsk Hydro, and bearing manufacturer NSK during the first six months of the year. New positions in the portfolio this year include Spanish bank BBVA, UK software company Sage Group, Latin American telecom America Movil, an Australian Dollar ETF, smart metering companies Spectris and Yamatake, oil pipeline company Tenaris, and generic pharmaceutical company Teva.

International large-cap core funds typically have an average price-to-cash flow ratio, price-to-book ratio, and three-year sales-per-share growth value compared to their large-cap-specific subset of the S&P/Citigroup World ex-U.S. BMI.

Pax World High Yield Bond Fund
(PHOTO OF MARY AUSTIN)
Portfolio Manager’s Comments
How did the Pax World High Yield Bond Fund perform in the first six months of 2009? For the six-month period ended June 30, 2009, Individual Investor Class, Institutional Class, and R Class shares of the Fund had total returns of 21.82%, 21.85%, and 21.55%, respectively, vs. 28.99% for the Merrill Lynch High Yield Master I Index and 24.14% for the Lipper High Current Yield Funds Index for the same period.
What were the most important factors that influenced the performance of the Pax World High Yield Bond Fund during the first six months of 2009? The first half of 2009 was characterized by two very different quarters. The Pax World High Yield Bond Fund outperformed its benchmark in the first quarter due to its more conservative profile, which underweighted the riskiest bonds. In the second quarter this strategy worked against us as the market rallied and the riskiest bonds significantly outperformed the better quality bonds. This factor was the most significant one that influenced the lower return of the Fund vs. its benchmark. The second factor was the large amount of inflows coming into the Fund at the start of the rally. Strong demand and a very limited supply created a lack of liquidity in the market and a difficult environment for the Fund to purchase bonds. The resulting cash position, temporarily larger than normal, contributed to the Fund’s underperformance relative to its benchmark.
Some of the investments that helped the Fund’s return in the first half of 2009 were Advanced Medical Optics, an eye product company that was acquired by Abbott Laboratories; Foodcorp, a South African food company that was aided by the stronger Euro; Nordic Telecom; and Vitamin Shoppe, which recently filed a registration statement for a proposed IPO.
What are some examples of securities bought and sold by the Pax World High Yield Bond Fund during the first six months of 2009? As cash came into the Fund we added to sectors that we believed would hold their value. We added to telecommunications, with new names Qwest Communications and Digicel. We also initiated a position in Mobile Mini, a company that uses retrofitted ship containers to rent temporary storage space. In the second quarter, the credit markets thawed and the new issue market rebounded. We took the opportunity to

increase the Fund’s media holdings, which had been underweight relative to the benchmark, participating in new issues from Nielsen, a provider of media market research; music company Warner Music; and Virgin Media, a UK TV, cable and Internet provider, and added the new name Kabel Deutschland, a German cable company. In general, other sector allocations remained basically unchanged.
We took some profits and sold Actuant, a diversified manufacturing company, and CSN, a Brazilian steel company. We also sold Harry and David when it no longer met our ESG criteria. Our Cellu Tissue bonds were taken out at par when the company refinanced them, returning a profit for our shareholders.

Pax World Women’s Equity Fund
(PHOTO OF SUJATHA AVUTU)
Portfolio Manager’s Comments
How did the Pax World Women’s Equity Fund perform in the first six months of 2009? For the six-month period ended June 30, 2009, Individual Investor Class and Institutional Class shares of the Fund had total returns of 8.70% and 8.89%, respectively, vs. 4.20% for the Russell 3000 Index. For the same six-month period the Lipper Multi-Cap Core Funds Index had a total return of 9.20%.
What were the most important factors that influenced the performance of the Pax World Women’s Equity Fund during the first six months of 2009? Stock selection and sector allocation contributed to the Fund’s performance year-to-date. Both stock selection and an overweight position in the financial sector allocation had the largest impact on the Fund’s outperformance. Our favorable view on the financial sector earlier in the year was reflective of signs of sector stabilization as the Federal Reserve and the Treasury commenced various plans to stabilize the credit system. In addition, stock selection in energy and technology sectors contributed significantly to the Fund’s performance. The largest detractor to performance during the period was stock selection in the consumer discretionary sector. That sector continued to experience significant volatility amid anticipation of an improvement and the continuation of anemic retail trends.
What are some examples of securities bought and sold by the Pax World Women’s Equity Fund during the first six months of 2009? The Fund focused on three main themes during the year in making purchase and sell decisions. First, trades that reflect benefiting from valuation disparity within the same sector. Second, sector swaps based on the current economic and business cycle. And, finally, stock volatility tactical trades.
Early in the year, Genentech (DNA), a biotechnology company that focuses on biotherapeutics, reached an agreement to be acquired by Roche Holding AG (ROG). Following the merger the Fund purchased ROG given what we believe to be an attractive product lineup. Another notable swap the Fund made was selling Quest Diagnostics and buying Pfizer based on valuation and expectation disparity between the companies. Additionally, the Fund rotated out of some consumer companies—namely, Colgate-Palmolive, Staples, and Avon Products, into financial

companies. In particular, the Fund took advantage of significantly lower valuations of Bank of New York Mellon and insurance companies such as ACE Limited and Travelers. The high volatility among individual stocks in the turbulent environment that started the year also provided opportunities to participate in high quality stocks that we believed were under artificial pressure—Corn Products, AGCO, Alexander & Baldwin are examples on the purchase side. Hartford Financial, Terex, Quanta Services, Praxair, and Walgreen were eliminated from the Fund due to either stocks reaching what we believed were fair values or deteriorating fundamentals.

1   The Fund’s inception date is October 1, 1993. Pax World Women’s Equity Fund, a series of Pax World Funds Series Trust I, acquired the Women’s Equity Fund on October 29, 2007. Performance information shown for periods prior to the acquisition is the performance of Retail Class shares of the acquired Women’s Equity Fund, which has not been adjusted to reflect any differences in expenses between the acquired Women’s Equity Fund and the Pax World Women’s Equity Fund; if such expense adjustments were reflected, the returns would be higher than those shown. The Fund’s adviser assumed certain expenses during the period; total returns would have been lower had these expenses not been assumed. Total return figures include reinvested dividends and capital gains distributions, and changes in principal value, and do not reflect the taxes that a shareholder might pay on Fund distributions or on the redemption of Fund shares. These figures represent past performance, which is no guarantee of future results. Investment return and principal value of an investment will fluctuate so that an investor’s shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Current performance may be lower or higher than the performance data quoted. For more recent month-end performance data, please visit www.paxworld.com or call 800.767.1729.

Pax World Global Green Fund
(PHOTO OF BRUCE JENKYN-JONES & TAN SIMM)
Portfolio Manager’s Comments
How did the Pax World Global Green Fund perform in the first six months of 2009? For the six-month period ended June 30, 2009, Individual Investor Class, Institutional Class, and R Class shares of the Fund had total returns of 16.65%, 16.75%, and 16.49%, respectively, vs. 6.35% for the MSCI World (Net) Index. For the same six-month period the FTSE Environmental Opportunities Index Series had a total return of 8.27%.
What were the most important factors that influenced the performance of the Pax World Global Green Fund during the first six months of 2009? Economic stimulus packages in the U.S. and across Europe and Asia were among the most significant factors influencing performance during the period. We estimate that approximately $80 billion of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (‘ARRA’) was earmarked for investment in environmental subsectors targeted by the Fund. In the first quarter the portfolio suffered due to a lack of liquidity in the global credit markets, which impacted companies seeking project finance, as well as those with highly indebted balance sheets. As we moved into the second quarter, more positive global macroeconomic data began to emerge, and we saw signs of easing in the global markets, strengthening commodity prices, and the anticipated recovery in selected cyclical end markets (automotive, construction and consumer electronics).
A proposed fuel efficiency plan by the Obama administration drove the performance of BorgWarner (fuel efficiency technology, U.S.), while Stanley Electric (auto LEDs, Japan), Denso (hybrid technology, Japan) and Horiba (auto emissions testing, Japan) all benefited from the cyclical recovery in selected automotive companies. Baldor Electric (energy efficient motors, U.S.) and Johnson Controls (buildings energy efficiency, U.S.) performed well due to the positive Buildings Energy Efficiency legislation outlined in the ARRA, while Delta Electronics (energy efficient power supplies, Taiwan) was the beneficiary of the early cyclical recovery

in consumer electronics. Project finance market weakness and an initial lack of clarity on ARRA funding initially impacted performance of Vestas (wind turbines, Denmark) but the company finished the period strongly. A recovery in commodity prices benefited Sims Metal Management (scrap metal recycler, Australia), while a precious metals pricing recovery benefited Asahi Holdings (precious metals recycler, Japan). Infrastructure stimulus spending in China helped China Everbright (water and waste treatment, Hong Kong) perform strongly during the period.
The emerging dominance of low–cost Chinese solar equipment manufacturers had a negative impact on the portfolio’s solar holdings, with PV Crystalox (solar wafers, UK) and Sunpower Corporation (solar cells, U.S.) underperforming. Also, despite a strong recovery in the second quarter, Covanta Holdings’ (waste-to-energy, U.S.) exposure to falling power prices and falling recyclate revenue in the first quarter disappointed, while Itron (automated meter reading (‘AMR’), U.S.) was relatively weak based on concerns at the company’s level of indebtedness and fears over delays in the rollout of AMR projects in the U.S. due to utility capex curtailments. Finally, U.S. water utilities California Water and American Water were relative underperformers for the period.
What are some examples of securities bought and sold by the Pax World Global Green Fund during the first six months of 2009? In the first quarter, we applied a strategy of gradually increasing weightings of companies with relative defensive characteristics in response to general market volatility. We increased positions in wind project developers such as EDP Renovaveis, and added to our industrial gases positions in Linde (Germany) and Praxair (U.S.). At the same time, we added to positions in companies that we believe to be inexpensive, and that had experienced cyclical downturns; we bought Delta Electronics (energy efficient power supplies, Taiwan) and added to positions in construction related companies such as Idex (pumps and valves, U.S.) and automotive suppliers, such as Denso (Japan) and BorgWarner (U.S.).
In the second quarter we took a more defensive outlook and took profits on early cycle companies such as Stanley Electric (auto LEDs, Japan), Kingspan (insulation, Ireland) and Johnson Controls (buildings energy efficiency, U.S.) and reallocated cash to companies offering superior earnings visibility (e.g. U.S. water utility American Water and specialist waste treatment company Stericycle).

Sustainable Investing
(PHOTO OF JULIE GORTE)
Sustainability Update
The past year was, to put it mildly, a difficult one for financial markets. Just as rising tides lift all boats, the ebb tide created by global investor gloom last year was costly for investors, workers, families, students, governments, and the millions of nonprofits whose prosperity depends on the health of financial portfolios of endowments. But it also served as a reminder that the work we do at Pax may, if we are ultimately successful, help prevent the kind of short-term, damn-the-torpedoes, risky behavior that one recent study has suggested will wipe out $1-2 trillion in investment value,1 when all the pipers have been paid.
Of the features common to almost every serious post-mortem of the financial debacle of 2008 were (1) short-term thinking and underestimation of risk and (2) inadequate regulation. We believe that sustainable investing, as we practice it at Pax, is an antidote to both.
Avoiding the Trap of Short-Term Thinking, and Properly Understanding Risk
The touchstones of sustainability—environmental impact, community relations, product integrity, workplace practices, human rights, etc.—are not ephemeral, they are measures of the quality of corporate management over the long term. We analyze the environmental, social and governance (ESG) profile of every company Pax World’s portfolio managers are interested in investing in.
Over the past year, we performed ESG evaluations for 830 companies or securities.2 We voted 2,656 items on 363 corporate proxies, all in accordance with our ESG principles. We voted for management proposals 58% of the time, and for shareholder proposals (shareholders file the vast majority of

2   Most of the ESG evaluations are of companies, but a small number are municipal bonds, ETFs, fixed income securities, and other securities that may not necessarily involve the review of an entire company.

proposals related to environmental and social issues) 81% of the time. During May and June 2009, the peak of what is often termed “proxy season,” we withheld votes from directors at 37 percent of the annual meetings held during those two months for a lack of board diversity alone.
We engaged with 190 companies on a wide variety of issues. Two-thirds of our company engagements were on sustainability reporting and corporate governance; 15% were on gender empowerment or diversity, and 12% concerned environmental impact. We filed six shareholder resolutions on a variety of issues, including executive pay, environmental impact, sustainability reporting, and disclosure of political donations. Finally, we devised and are co-leading a new advocacy initiative, the Small Cap Disclosure Project, aimed at improving ESG disclosure on the part of small cap companies, which generally do little or no sustainability reporting. All of this—our day-to-day work—is done for one reason: to identify well-managed companies that we believe will offer sources of durable investment value—not just for the next quarter, but over many years.
As a member of the Investor Network on Climate Risk, the United Nations Principles for Responsible Investment, the United Nations Environment Programme Finance Initiatives, and other investor coalitions, we aim to advance corporate responsibility on a wide variety of sustainability metrics, including executive pay, political contributions, greenhouse gas emissions and climate risk disclosure, freedom of association, child and slave labor, gender empowerment, indigenous peoples’ rights and welfare, biodiversity and more.
Advocating for Sensible Regulation
It is almost invariably true that regulation is an eternal struggle to keep up with the regulated, as “[e]very move they make generates a series of new and creative moves by financial institutions who seek to minimize the burdens regulations ultimately place on them.”3 This was apparent in 2008, when multiple failures of the regulatory system were exposed.

While there is enough to talk about in regulatory reform to sink a ship, there is one factor that is common to multiple sources of regulatory breakdowns: information. Financial markets operate best when market participants have all the relevant information they need to make decisions. While Congress and the Administration are hard at work addressing issues like hedge fund disclosure, credit ratings, and regulation of financial derivatives, we have also been working hard to improve ESG disclosure, which we believe is a key piece of any truly efficient market. In 2009, Pax participated in and helped write two letters4 to the SEC to request that the agency require ESG disclosure in addition to financial disclosure from companies. Pax is working to support these and other efforts with a strong business case for ESG disclosure. Pax also helped to write and was a signatory to a Social Investment Forum letter to the EPA supporting its proposal to require climate risk disclosure, and was a signatory to a letter from the Investor Network on Climate Risk urging the National Association of Insurance Commissioners (NAIC) to require climate risk disclosure from insurers (a measure that was subsequently adopted by the NAIC). Pax was an endorser of a final report released by the Heinz Center discussing the actions needed to mitigate and adapt to climate change. The initiative focused on public policy actions needed to protect America’s coastlines as threats from

climate change, such as increased storm severity and sea level rise, mount. Resilient Coasts: A Blueprint for Action was released in April.
It is always tempting to focus on the immediate crisis, today’s wolf at the door, and put off worrying about the longer-term issues, the termites in the woodwork. It is true that we must fix things like credit ratings and establish sensible ways to regulate derivatives, while working to keep the economy and financial markets afloat until the economies of the globe can be declared recovered. But it would be foolish to focus on these issues at the expense of things like climate risk and ESG disclosure, things that all investors need, all the time, crisis or no.
In a year when so much value melted as a result of myopia, it is soul-satisfying for us to be so deeply engaged in advancing sustainability through our investment process.

Shareholder Expense Examples
Examples As a shareholder of the Pax World Balanced, Growth, Small Cap, International, High Yield Bond, Women’s Equity, or Global Green Funds, you incur ongoing costs, including management fees; distribution and/or service (12b-1) fees; and other Fund expenses. The examples on the next page are intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in each of the Funds and compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds. For more information, see the prospectus or talk to your financial adviser.
The examples are based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period beginning on January 1, 2009 and ending on June 30, 2009.
Please note that Individual Retirement Account (IRA), Coverdell Education Savings, Roth IRA, SEP-IRA, SIMPLE IRA, and 403(b)(7) accounts are charged an annual custodial fee of $12. If you are invested in one of these account types, you should add an additional $6 to the estimated expenses paid during the period.
Actual Expenses For each Fund, the first table on the next page provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this table, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. For the Fund, simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.
Hypothetical Examples for Comparison Purposes For each Fund, the second table on the following page provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on each Fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not each Fund’s actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Funds and other funds. To do so, compare these 5% hypothetical examples with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.

Please note that the expenses shown in the tables are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs.

Pax World Funds Series Trust I
NOTE A—Organization and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Organization Pax World Funds Series Trust I (the “Trust”) is an open-end management investment company organized under the laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. Each of the Pax World Balanced Fund (the “Balanced Fund”), Pax World Growth Fund (the “Growth Fund”), Pax World Small Cap Fund (the “Small Cap Fund”), Pax World International Fund (the “International Fund”), Pax World High Yield Bond Fund (the “High Yield Bond Fund”), Pax World Women’s Equity Fund (the “Women’s Equity Fund”), and Pax World Global Green Fund (the “Global Green Fund”) (each a “Fund” and collectively, the “Funds”) is a diversified series of the Trust.
The Funds seek to invest in forward-thinking companies with sustainable business models that meet positive environmental, social and governance standards. The Funds avoid investing in companies that their investment adviser determines are significantly involved in the manufacture of weapons or weapons-related products, manufacture tobacco products or engage in unethical business practices.
The Balanced Fund’s primary investment objective is to seek income and conservation of principal. As a secondary investment objective, the Fund seeks long-term growth of capital. The Fund seeks to achieve its investment objective by investing approximately 60% of its assets in equity securities (including but not limited to common stocks, preferred stocks and equity securities convertible into common or preferred stocks) and 40% of the assets in debt securities (including but not limited to debt securities convertible into equity securities). On April 2, 2007, the Balanced Fund added Institutional and R Classes of shares.
The Growth Fund’s investment objective is to seek long-term growth of capital. The Fund seeks to achieve this objective by investing, under normal market conditions, primarily in equity securities (such as common stock, preferred stock and securities convertible into common stock and preferred stock) of companies that the Adviser believes have above-average growth prospects. On April 2, 2007, the Growth Fund added Institutional and R Classes of shares.
The Small Cap Fund’s investment objective is to seek long-term growth of

June 30, 2009
capital. The Fund seeks to achieve this objective by investing, under normal market conditions, at least 80% of its net assets (plus any borrowings for investment purposes) in equity securities (such as common stocks, preferred stocks, and securities convertible into common or preferred stocks) of companies that, when purchased, have capitalizations within the range of the Russell 2000 Index as measured by market capitalization. All classes of the Small Cap Fund were added on March 27, 2008 and operations for the Individual Investor class commenced on that date.
The International Fund’s investment objective is to seek long-term growth of capital. The Fund seeks to achieve this objective by investing, under normal market conditions, primarily in securities (such as common stock, preferred stocks and securities convertible into common or preferred stocks) of non-U.S. issuers. All classes of the International Fund were added on March 27, 2008 and operations for the Individual Investor class commenced on that date.
The High Yield Bond Fund’s primary investment objective is to seek high current income. It will, however, also seek capital appreciation as a secondary objective. The Fund seeks to achieve this objective by investing, under normal market conditions, at least eighty percent (80%) of its assets (plus any borrowings for investment purposes) in high-yield, fixed income securities (such as bonds, notes and debentures) that are rated below BBB- by Standard & Poor’s Ratings Group or below Baa3 by Moody’s Investors Service and other fixed income securities that, are, in the opinion of the Adviser, of comparable quality (commonly referred to as “junk bonds”). On April 30, 2004, the High Yield Bond Fund added an Institutional Class of shares and renamed its existing shares the Individual Investor Class. On April 2, 2007, the High Yield Bond Fund added the R Class Shares. Operations of the Institutional Class of shares commenced on June 1, 2004.
On October 29, 2007, the Women’s Equity Fund acquired the assets and assumed the liabilities of the original Women’s Equity Fund, a series of Professionally Managed Portfolios (the “Original Women’s Equity Fund”) pursuant to a plan of reorganization which was approved by the shareholders of the Original Women’s Equity Fund. Prior to the acquisition, the current Women’s Equity Fund had no assets or liabilities. Shares were transferred on a one-to-one basis for both Individual Investor Class (formerly referred to as “Retail Class”) and Institutional Class, in a tax free exchange, having no effect on the Fund’s operations. The Original Women’s Equity Fund had a fiscal year

end of March 31; the current Women’s Equity Fund has a fiscal year end of December 31. Information shown herein for the four years ended March 31, 2007 and the period from April 1, 2007 through October 28, 2007 relates to the Original Women’s Equity Fund.
The Women’s Equity Fund’s investment objective is to seek long-term growth of capital. Under normal market conditions, the Fund seeks to achieve this objective by investing at least 80% of its net assets (plus any borrowings for investment purposes) in equity securities (such as common stocks, preferred stocks and securities convertible into common or preferred stocks). In selecting investments, the Adviser applies sustainable investing criteria, emphasizing companies that promote gender equity through internal policies and programs, transparency regarding the effectiveness of those policies and programs, and accountability among employees to assure implementation and observance of the same.
The Global Green Fund’s investment objective is to seek long-term growth of capital by investing in companies whose businesses and technologies focus on mitigating the environmental impacts of commerce. Under normal market conditions the Fund will primarily invest in equity securities (such as common stock, preferred stocks and securities convertible into common or preferred stocks) of companies located around the world. All classes of the Global Green Fund were added on March 27, 2008 and operations for the Individual Investor class commenced on that date.
Accounting Estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Valuation of Investments Investments for which market quotations are readily available are valued at fair value. Fair values for various types of securities and other instruments are determined on the basis of closing prices or last sales prices on an exchange or other market, or based on quotes or other market information obtained from quotation reporting systems, established market makers or pricing services. Short-term investments having a maturity of 60

80


Table of Contents

June 30, 2009
days or less are generally valued at amortized cost, which approximates fair value.
Investments initially valued in currencies other than the U.S. dollar are converted to U.S. dollars using exchange rates obtained from pricing services. As a result, NAV of a Fund’s shares may be affected by changes in the value of currencies in relation to the U.S. dollar. The value of investments traded in markets outside the United States or denominated in currencies other than the U.S. dollar may be affected significantly on a day that the New York Stock Exchange is closed, and the net asset value of a Fund’s shares may change on days when an investor is not able to purchase, redeem or exchange shares. If market quotations are not readily available (including in cases when available market quotations are deemed to be unreliable), the Funds’ investments will be valued as determined in good faith pursuant to policies and procedures approved by the Trustees (so called “fair value pricing”). Fair value pricing may require subjective determinations about the value of a security or other asset, and fair values used to determine a Fund’s NAV may differ from quoted or published prices, or from prices that are used by others, for the same investments. Also, the use of fair value pricing may not always result in adjustments to the prices of securities or other assets held by a Fund.
The Funds may determine that market quotations are not readily available due to events relating to a single issuer (e.g., corporate actions or announcements) or events relating to multiple issuers (e.g., governmental actions or natural disasters). The Funds may determine the fair value of investments based on information provided by pricing services and other third-party vendors, which may recommend fair value prices or adjustments with reference to other securities, indices or assets. In considering whether fair value pricing is required and in determining fair values, the Funds may, among other things, consider significant events (which may be considered to include changes in the value of U.S. securities or securities indices) that occur after the close of the relevant market and before the time at which Funds’ net asset value is determined. At June 30, 2009, the High Yield Bond Fund held two securities fair valued at $66,584, representing 0.02% of the Fund’s net asset value, and the Women’s Equity Fund held one security fair valued at $515,000, representing 1.29% of the Fund’s net asset value.
For those Funds that invest in non-U.S. securities, investors should be aware that many securities markets and exchanges outside the U.S. close prior to the

81


Table of Contents

Notes to Financial Statements, continued
close of the NYSE, and the closing prices for securities in such markets or on such exchanges may not fully reflect events that occur after such close but before the close of the NYSE. As a result, the Funds’ fair value pricing procedures require the Funds to fair value foreign equity securities if there has been a movement in the U.S. market that exceeds a specified threshold. Although the threshold may be revised from time to time and the number of days on which fair value prices will be used will depend on market activity, it is possible that fair value prices will be used by the Funds to a significant extent. The value determined for an investment using the Funds’ fair value pricing procedures may differ from recent market prices for the investment.
The net asset value per share (“NAV”) of each class of a Funds shares is determined ordinarily as of the close of regular trading (normally 4:00 p.m. Eastern time) (the “NYSE Close”) on the New York Stock Exchange on each day (a “Business Day”) that the New York Stock Exchange is open for trading.
For purposes of calculating NAV, the Funds normally use pricing data for domestic equity securities received shortly after the NYSE Close and do not normally take into account trading, clearances or settlements that take place after the NYSE Close. Domestic fixed income and foreign securities are normally priced using data reflecting the earlier closing of the principal markets for those securities, subject to possible fair value adjustments. Information that becomes known to the Funds or their agents after NAV has been calculated on a particular day will not generally be used to retroactively adjust the price of a security or NAV determined earlier that day.
The Funds have adopted Financial Accounting Standards Board Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157, Fair Value Measurements (“FAS 157”) effective January 1, 2008. In accordance with FAS 157, fair value is defined as the price that the Fund would receive upon selling an investment in a timely transaction to an independent buyer in the principal or most advantageous market of the investment. FAS 157 established a three-tier hierarchy to maximize the use of observable market data and minimize the use of unobservable inputs and to establish classification of fair value measurements for disclosure purposes. Inputs refer broadly to the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability, including assumptions about risk, for example, the risk inherent in a particular valuation technique used to measure fair value including such a pricing model and/or the risk inherent in the inputs to the valuation technique. Inputs may be

82


Table of Contents

June 30, 2009
observable or unobservable. Observable inputs are inputs that reflect the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability developed based on market data obtained from sources independent of the reporting entity. Unobservable inputs are inputs that reflect the reporting entity’s own assumptions about the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability developed based on the best information available in the circumstances. The three-tier hierarchy of inputs is summarized in the three broad Levels listed below.
    Level 1 – quoted prices in active markets for identical investments
 
    Level 2 – other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.)
 
    Level 3 – significant unobservable inputs (including the Funds’ own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments)
The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.
The following is a summary of the inputs used to value the Funds’ net assets as of June 30, 2009:

Following is a reconciliation of Level 3 assets for which significant unobservable inputs were used to determine fair value:
                 
    High Yield Bond     Women’s Equity  
 
Investments in Securities
               
Balance as of December 31, 2008
  $     $ 535,000  
Realized Gain (loss)

  $ 66,584     $ 525,000  
 
           
Investment Transactions Investment transactions are recorded as of the date of purchase, sale or maturity. Net realized gains and losses from the sale or disposition of securities are determined on the identified cost basis, which is also used for federal income tax purposes.
Investment Income Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date. Interest income is recorded on the accrual basis and includes accretion of discount and amortization of premiums, if any. The Funds amortize purchase price premium and accrete discount on bonds, if any, over the remaining life of the bonds using the effective interest method of amortization; for callable bonds, the amortization period is to the most likely call date.
Distributions to Shareholders Distributions to shareholders are recorded by each of the Funds on the ex-dividend dates. The Balanced Fund, Growth Fund, Small Cap Fund, International Fund, Women’s Equity Fund and Global Green Fund expect to pay dividends of net investment income, if any, semiannually and to make distributions of capital gains, if any, at least annually. The High Yield Bond Fund expects to pay dividends of net investment income, if any, monthly and to make distributions of capital gains, if any, at least annually. A shareholder begins earning dividends on High Yield Bond Fund shares the day after the Fund receives his or her purchase payment.
Expenses Expenses of the Funds that are directly identifiable to a specific Fund are applied to that Fund. Expenses that are not readily identifiable to a specific Fund are allocated in such a manner as deemed equitable, taking into consideration the nature and type of expense and the relative net assets of the

85

Notes to Financial Statements, continued
Funds. Expenses directly attributable to a class of shares, such as 12b-1 distribution fees, are charged to that class. Each Fund has adopted a 12b-1 plan, applicable to certain classes of each of the Funds.
Federal Income Taxes Each of the Funds intends to elect to be treated and qualify each year as a regulated investment company under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”). If a Fund so qualifies and satisfies certain distribution requirements, such Fund will ordinarily not be subject to federal income tax on its net investment income (which includes short-term capital gains) and net capital gains that it distributes to shareholders. Each Fund expects to distribute all or substantially all of its income and gains to shareholders every year. Therefore, no Federal income or excise tax provision is required. The Funds are treated as separate entities for U.S. Federal income tax purposes.
Foreign Currency Transactions The accounting records of the Funds are maintained in U.S. dollars. In addition, purchases and sales of investment securities, dividend and interest income, and certain expenses are translated at the rates of exchange prevailing on the respective dates of such transactions. Net realized and unrealized foreign currency exchange gains or losses occurring during the holding period of investment securities are a component of realized gain (loss) on investment transactions and unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on investments, respectively.
Redemption Fees The Funds do not currently charge a redemption fee. However, prior to March 27, 2008, the High Yield Bond Fund charged a 2.00% redemption fee on shares held for less than 45 days. The Board of Trustees terminated the redemption fee effective March 27, 2008. Also, prior to its acquisition in October 2007, the Original Women’s Equity Fund charged a 2.00% redemption fee on shares held less than 60 days. These fees were deducted from the redemption proceeds otherwise payable to the shareholder. The Fund retained the fees charged as paid-in capital and such fees became part of the Fund’s daily NAV calculation.
Securities Lending Each of the Funds may lend their securities pursuant to a securities lending agreement (Lending Agreement) with State Street Bank and Trust Company. Initial security loans made pursuant to the Lending Agreement are required to be secured by collateral not less than the percentage specified in the agreement, ranging from 102% to 105%, depending on the types of

86

securities. Cash collateral received is invested in the State Street Navigator Securities Lending Prime Portfolio, a registered Rule 2a-7 money market fund.
The Funds have the right under the Lending Agreement to recover the securities from the borrower on demand. The primary risk associated with securities lending is if the Borrower defaults on its obligation to return the securities loaned because of insolvency or other reasons. The Funds could experience delays and costs in recovering securities loaned or in gaining access to the collateral. In the event the borrower fails to return loaned securities and the collateral received is insufficient to cover the value of the loaned securities and provided such collateral shortfall is not the result of investment losses, the lending agent has agreed to pay the amount of the shortfall to the Funds, or at the discretion of the lending agent, replace the loaned securities.
A portion of the income generated upon investment of the collateral is remitted to the borrower and the remainder is allocated between the Funds and the lending agent. The Funds record security lending income net of such allocation. The Funds continue to receive dividends on the securities loaned, which are accounted for in the same manner as other dividend and interest income.
As of June 30, 2009, the value of securities loaned, payable for cash collateral due to brokers and non-cash collateral pledged by brokers were as follows:
                         
    Market Value of     Payable on Collateral     Non-Cash

At June 30, 2009, the Balanced Fund, International Fund, High Yield Bond Fund, Women’s Equity Fund, and Global Green Fund had unrealized foreign currency gains of $16,759; $23; $4,133; $99; and $84, respectively. The Growth Fund had an unrealized foreign currency loss of $301.
Options Transactions The Funds may buy and sell put and call options, or write put and covered call options on portfolio securities in order to produce incremental earnings or protect against changes in the value of portfolio securities. The Funds generally purchase put options or write covered call options to hedge against adverse movements in the value of portfolio holdings. When an option is written, the Fund receives a premium and becomes obligated to sell or purchase the underlying security at a fixed price, upon the exercise of the option.
Options are valued daily based upon the last sale price of the principal exchange on which the option is traded and unrealized appreciation or depreciation is recorded. The Fund will realize a gain or loss upon the expiration or closing of the option transaction. When an option is exercised, the proceeds on sale for a written call option, the purchase cost for a written put option, or the cost of the security for a purchased put or call option is adjusted by the amount of premium received or paid.
Securities designated to cover outstanding call or put options are noted in the Schedules of Investments. Contracts subject to call or put, expiration date, exercise price, premium received and market value are detailed in the notes to the Schedules of Investments. Options written are reported as a liability in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities. Realized gains and losses are reported in the Statements of Operations.

There are risks associated with transactions in options on securities. The risk in writing a call option is that the Fund gives up the opportunity for profit if the market price of the security increases above the exercise price and the option is exercised. The risk in writing a put option is that the Fund may incur a loss if the market price of the security continues to decrease after the option is exercised. The risk in buying an option is that the Funds pay a premium whether or not the option is exercised. The Funds also have the additional risk of not being able to enter into a closing transaction before the exercise date if a liquid secondary market does not exist.
Written option activity for the period ended June 30, 2009 is as follows:

Repurchase Agreements The Funds may enter into repurchase agreements with institutions that the Adviser has determined are creditworthy. Each repurchase agreement is recorded at cost. In the case of repurchase agreements with broker-dealers, the value of the underlying securities (or collateral) will be at least equal at all times to the total amount of the repurchase obligation, including the interest factor. A Fund bears the risk of loss in the event the other party to a repurchase agreement defaults on its obligations and the Fund is delayed or prevented from exercising its rights to dispose of the collateral securities. This risk includes the risk of procedural costs or delays in addition to a loss on the securities if their value should fall below their repurchase price.
Restricted and Illiquid Securities The Funds may purchase certain restricted securities and limited amounts of illiquid securities. The Funds may invest in securities exempt from registration under Rule 144A of the Securities Act of 1933 (“the Act”) which are restricted from sale to the public and may only be sold to a qualified institutional buyer. The Funds do not have the right to demand that such securities be registered. The value of such securities is determined by valuations supplied by a pricing service or, if not available, in good faith by or at the direction of the Board of Trustees. At June 30, 2009, the Balanced Fund held $18,522,791 or 1.06% of net assets and the High Yield Bond Fund held $57,726,620 or 19.47% of net assets in securities exempt from registration under Rule 144A of the Act.
At June 30, 2009, the High Yield Bond Fund held $11,640,436 of illiquid securities, representing 3.93% of net assets. The Funds will classify as “illiquid” all securities that may no longer be disposed of within seven days in the ordinary course of business at approximately the amount at which the Fund has valued such security for the purpose of calculating the Fund’s net asset value. Illiquid investments may include restricted securities, repurchase agreements that mature in more than seven days or that have a notice or demand feature more than seven days, certain over-the counter option contracts and participation interests in loans. Because illiquid securities trade less frequently and in smaller volume than liquid securities, the Funds may experience difficulty in closing out positions at prevailing market prices.

NOTE D—Tax Information
The timing and characterization of certain income and capital gains distributions are determined annually in accordance with federal tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP. These differences primarily relate to investments in foreign denominated securities and real estate investment trusts. Additionally, timing differences may occur due to wash sale loss deferrals. As a result, net investment income (loss) and net realized gain (loss) on investment transactions for a reporting period may differ significantly from distributions during such period, and may result in reclassification among certain capital accounts. For tax purposes, short-term capital gains are considered ordinary income.
The tax character of distributions paid during 2008 and 2007 was as follows:
                                 
    Distributions paid in 2008     Distributions paid in 2007  
    Ordinary     Long-term     Ordinary     Long-term  
Fund   Income     Capital Gains     Income     Capital Gains

1   Women’s Equity Fund distributions paid in 2007 represent those paid during the nine months ended December 31, 2007.
During the period from November 1, 2008 through December 31, 2008, the Balanced Fund, the Growth Fund, the Small Cap Fund, the International Fund, the High Yield Bond Fund, the Women’s Equity Fund and the Global Green Fund incurred capital losses in the amounts of $80,034,811; $5,175,678; $162,910; $28,149; $1,587,737; $2,948,115; and $148,977, respectively; and the Growth Fund and the Women’s Equity Fund incurred foreign currency losses of $3,638 and $6,107, respectively. These losses are treated for Federal income tax purposes as if they occurred on January 1, 2009. Accordingly, during 2008 the Funds may have made distributions, as required by Internal Revenue Code Regulations, in excess of amounts recognized for financial reporting purposes.

As of December 31, 2008, the Balanced Fund, Growth Fund, Small Cap Fund, International Fund, High Yield Bond Fund, Women’s Equity Fund, and Global Green Fund had capital loss carryforwards, which may be used to offset future net realized capital gains for Federal income tax purposes in the amounts of $50,133,861; $5,230,390; $12,288; $59,629; $1,961,330; $210,348; and $24,514; respectively; each which expire in 2016.
The Funds have adopted the provisions of Financial Accounting Standards Board Interpretation No. 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes”, (“FIN 48”). As of June 30, 2009, Management has analyzed the Funds’ tax positions taken for all open tax years which remain subject to examination by the Funds’ major tax jurisdictions (years 2004 through 2008). The Funds recognize interest and penalties, if any, related to tax liabilities as income tax expense in the Statement of Operations. Management has concluded that, as of and during the period ended June 30, 2009, no provision for federal income tax is necessary and, therefore, the Funds did not have a liability for any unrecognized tax expenses.
NOTE E—Custodian Bank and Custodian Fees
The custodian fees charged are reduced, pursuant to expense offset arrangements with each Fund, by an earnings credit which is based upon the average cash balances maintained at the Funds’ custodian. If the Funds did not have such offset arrangements, they could have invested such amounts in income-producing assets. Custody credits for each of the Funds for the period ended June 30, 2009, reported as Fees paid indirectly in the Statements of Operations, were as follows:
         
Fund   Custody Credits  
 
Balanced
    1,024

NOTE F—Other
In 2007, the Individual Investor Class of the High Yield Bond Fund received a payment of $197,873 from Pax World Management Corp., the Fund’s Adviser, and a payment of $96,127 from a non-affiliated broker as reimbursement for dilution of returns that may have occurred in that share class as a result of frequent trading activity from 2001-2003. The total of these reimbursements increased the net asset value of the Individual Investor Class of the Fund by approximately $0.03.
Also in 2007, the Balanced Fund received a non-recurring other income item, a litigation settlement, in the amount of $1,250,000. This reimbursement increased the Fund’s net asset value by approximately $0.01.
Management has evaluated subsequent events through August 21, 2009 and determined that no events have occured that require disclosure.

Note I—Board Approval of Advisory Agreements
Review Process The Investment Company Act of 1940 (the “1940 Act”) requires that the Trustees request and evaluate, and that Pax World Management Corp. (the “Adviser”) furnish, such information as may reasonably be necessary for the Trustees to evaluate the terms of the Trust’s investment advisory contract (the “Management Contract”). The Trustees who are not “interested persons” (as defined in Section 2(a)(19) of the 1940 Act) of the Trust (the “Independent Trustees”) met telephonically and in person in May and June of 2009 for the specific purpose of considering the Management Contract. In addition, the Trustees consider matters bearing on the Trust and its investment management and other arrangements at their regular meetings throughout the year, including reviews of investment results and performance data at each regular meeting and periodic presentations from the Adviser.
In connection with the contract review meetings, the Trustees met and discussed the Management Contract with representatives of the Adviser. The Independent Trustees were assisted in their evaluation of the Management Contract by independent legal counsel, from whom they received assistance and advice, including a written memorandum, regarding the legal standards applicable to the consideration of advisory arrangements and with whom they met separately from management. During the course of the contract review meetings, the Independent Trustees made various requests for additional information or explanations from management regarding information that had been provided, to which management responded either orally or in writing.
In their deliberations, the Trustees did not identify any particular information that was all-important or controlling. Some of the factors that figured particularly in Trustees’ deliberations are described below, although individual Trustees may have evaluated the information presented differently from one another, giving different weights to various factors. The Trustees’ conclusions may be based, in part, on their consideration of these arrangements during the course of the year and in prior years. The Trustees evaluated all information

98


Table of Contents

June 30, 2009
available to them on a Fund-by-Fund basis, and their determinations were made separately in respect of each Fund. However, they also took into account the common interests of all the Funds in their review.
Nature, Extent and Quality of Services In considering the Management Contract, the Trustees, including the Independent Trustees, evaluated the nature, extent and quality of the advisory services provided to the Trust by the Adviser, and to be provided to the Trust by Impax. They considered the terms of the Management Contract and received and considered information provided by management that described, among other matters: (a) the nature and scope of the advisory services provided to the Funds and information regarding the experience, qualifications and adequacy of the personnel providing those services, (b) the investment program used by the Adviser to manage the Funds, (c) possible conflicts of interest and fall-out benefits, (d) brokerage practices, (e) the compliance functions of the Adviser, (f) financial results, assets under management and other information relating to the financial resources of the Adviser, and (g) information relating to portfolio manager compensation.
In addition to considering the Funds’ investment performance (see below), the Trustees considered, among other matters, the Adviser’s general oversight of the Trust. They also took into account information concerning the investment philosophy and investment process used by the Adviser in managing the Funds as well as its in-house investment and social research capabilities. They also considered various investment resources available to the Adviser, including research services acquired with “soft dollars” available to the Adviser as a result of securities transactions effected for the Funds.
The Trustees considered, among other matters, that the Adviser provides the Trust with office space and personnel, and provides oversight and coordination of the Funds’ third-party service providers. These services include accounting, bookkeeping, tax, legal, audit, custody and transfer agency services, and preparation of prospectuses, shareholder reports and other regulatory filings. They also took into account the Adviser’s compliance and operational functions, as well as steps taken by the Adviser to enhance compliance and operational capabilities and the resources being devoted to each.

99


Table of Contents

June 30, 2009
Notes to Financial Statements, continued
The Trustees concluded, within the context of their overall conclusions regarding the Management Contract, that the scope of the services provided to each Fund by the Adviser under the Management Contract was consistent with such Fund’s operational requirements; that the Adviser has the capabilities, resources and personnel necessary to provide the advisory services currently required by each Fund; and that, overall, the nature, extent and quality of the services provided by the Adviser to the Trust were sufficient to warrant approval of the Management Contract.
Fund Performance In connection with the contract review meetings, the Trustees, including the Independent Trustees, reviewed information prepared by Lipper, Inc. (“Lipper”) regarding the total return investment performance of each Fund, comparing each such Fund’s investment results with those of other mutual funds identified by Lipper as having the same investment classification over the 1-, 3-, 5- and 10-year periods (to the extent the Fund had been in existence) ended March 31, 2009. The Trustees, including the Independent Trustees, considered the extent to which the performance of each Fund might be compared to that of other mutual funds that employ socially responsible investing practices, but in light of the limited number of such funds pursuing investment strategies similar to those of the Funds, determined that the broader peer groups identified by Lipper represented a more appropriate comparison. In addition to the information reviewed by the Trustees at the contract review meetings, the Trustees receive during the year detailed comparative performance information for each Fund, which includes performance relative to one or more selected securities indices or other benchmarks. The Trustees also considered the portfolio turnover rates of each Fund.
Based on this and other information, the Trustees concluded, within the context of their overall conclusions regarding the Management Contract, that the relevant performance record and process in managing each Fund were sufficient to support approval of the Management Contract.
Fees and Other Expenses The Trustees, including the Independent Trustees, considered the advisory fees paid by each Fund to the Adviser, as well as each Fund’s actual or expected distribution and service (Rule 12b-1) fees, “other expenses” and total expense ratios. In doing so, the Trustees reviewed both information provided by management and information prepared by Lipper regarding the expenses of each Fund relative to those of other mutual funds

100

June 30, 2009
identified by Lipper. In connection with their review, the Trustees considered the Adviser’s agreement to (i) reimburse the Balanced Fund to the extent such Fund’s total expenses exceed a percentage of average daily net assets per annum of each share class as follows: 1.50% for Individual Investor Class shares, 1.25% for Institutional Class shares and 1.75% for R Class shares, (ii) reduce the High Yield Bond Fund’s advisory fee to 0.50% of average daily net assets until at least December 31, 2011 and further agreed to reimburse the High Yield Bond Fund to the extent its “Other Expenses” for each share class exceed 0.24% until at least December 31, 2012, (iii) reimburse the High Yield Bond Fund to the extent such Fund’s total expenses exceed a percentage of average daily net assets per annum of each share class as follows: 0.99% for Individual Investor Class shares, 0.74% for Institutional Class shares and 1.24% for R Class shares, until at least December 31, 2012, (iv) reimburse the Growth Fund to the extent such Fund’s total expenses exceed a percentage of average daily net assets per annum of each share class as follows: 1.45% for Individual Investor Class shares, 1.20% for Institutional Class shares and 1.70% for R Class shares, until at least December 31, 2012, (v) reimburse the Women’s Equity Fund and Small Cap Fund to the extent any such Fund’s total expenses exceed a percentage of average daily net assets per annum of each share class as follows: 1.24% for Individual Investor Class shares, 0.99% for Institutional Class shares and 1.49% for R Class shares (R Class shares are not offered for Women’s Equity Fund), and (vi) reimburse the International Fund and Global Green Fund to the extent any such Fund’s total expenses exceed a percentage of the average daily net assets per annum of each share class as follows: 1.40% for Individual Investor Class shares, 1.15% for Institutional Class shares and 1.65% for R Class shares. The Trustees observed that the Funds’ advisory fees and total expenses remained generally in line with those of other mutual funds identified by Lipper.
Based on this and other information, the Trustees concluded, within the context of their overall conclusions regarding the Management Contract, that the fees and expenses to be charged represented reasonable compensation to the Adviser and the Trust’s service providers in light of the services provided. In coming to this conclusion, the Trustees took into account, among other factors, the fee waiver and reimbursement agreements described above.
Costs of Services Provided and Profitability The Trustees, including the Independent Trustees, reviewed information regarding the cost of services provided by the Adviser and the estimated profitability of the Adviser’s

101


Table of Contents

June 30, 2009
Notes to Financial Statements, continued
relationship with the Trust, including a profitability report prepared by management detailing the costs of services provided to the Trust by the Adviser, and the profitability to the Adviser of its advisory relationship with the Funds, each for the years ended December 31, 2006, 2007, and 2008, as well as a projection for the year ending December 31, 2009. The Trustees recognized that the Adviser should, in the abstract, be entitled to earn a reasonable level of profit for the services provided to each Fund, and that it is difficult to make comparisons of profitability from mutual fund advisory contracts because comparative information is not generally available and is affected by numerous factors, including the structure of the particular adviser, the types of funds it manages, its business mix, numerous assumptions about allocations and the Adviser’s capital structure and cost of capital. The Trustees concluded that, taking all of the foregoing into account, they were satisfied that the Adviser’s level of profitability from its relationship with the Trust was not excessive.
Possible Fall-Out Benefits The Trustees, including the Independent Trustees, considered information regarding the direct and indirect benefits to the Adviser from its relationships with the Trust, including reputational and other “fall out” benefits. During the course of the year, the Board of Trustees received presentations from the Adviser about its trading practices and brokerage arrangements, including its policies with respect to research provided to the Adviser in connection with trade execution for the Funds (soft dollar arrangements), and the Trustees accepted the representation of the Adviser that it fulfills its fiduciary obligation of seeking best execution when engaging in portfolio transactions for the Funds. The Trustees considered the receipt of these benefits in light of the Adviser’s profitability, and concluded that such benefits were not excessive.
Possible Economies of Scale The Trustees, including the Independent Trustees, considered the extent to which the Adviser may realize economies of scale or other efficiencies in managing and supporting the Funds. They noted that as assets increase, certain fixed costs may be spread across a larger asset base, and it was noted that any economies of scale or other efficiencies might be realized (if at all) across a variety of products and services, including the Funds, and not only in respect of a single Fund.
The Trustees noted that the advisory fee schedules for the Balanced Fund, Growth Fund and High Yield Bond Fund contain breakpoints that reduce the fee rate on assets above specified levels and that the Funds were currently

102


Table of Contents

June 30, 2009
benefiting from the attainment of such breakpoints. The Trustees further noted the fee waiver and reimbursement agreements described above. Based on these observations, the Trustees concluded that the Funds’ overall fee arrangements would represent an appropriate sharing at the present time between Fund shareholders and the Adviser of any economies of scale or other efficiencies in the management of each Fund at current asset levels.
Conclusions Based on their evaluation of factors that they deemed to be material, including those factors described above, the Board of Trustees, including the Independent Trustees, unanimously concluded that the continuation of the Management Contract with respect to each Fund was in the best interests of the Fund and should be approved.
