Letter to Shareholders
by Joseph Keefe, President & CEO
(JOSEPH KEEFE)
Dear fellow shareholders,
I am pleased to provide you with the 2009 Annual Report of Pax World Funds.
As you know, the past year has not only been a challenging one for the economy but a volatile one for financial markets. The good news is that the market recovery that began in March of 2009 has gone a long way toward restoring losses that were suffered in the greatest financial crisis since the Great Depression. The S & P 500 Index was up 26.46% for the year and other market indexes performed solidly as well. But we are not out of the woods. In fact, we are only in the early stages of an economic recovery that looks to be muted and sluggish, hampered by high unemployment, tight credit and other systemic weaknesses.
As I write, politicians in Washington are still debating financial reform—including leverage limitations and capital and liquidity requirements for banks; improved disclosure and regulation of derivatives; the so-called “Volcker” plan to impose restrictions on proprietary trading by commercial banks; creation of a consumer financial protection agency; and other reforms. At the same time, a backlog of critical issues—health care reform, the deficit, climate change and energy policy—are mired in partisan debate. There is no doubt that a global audience, let alone the American people, is anxiously watching to see if Washington is capable of tackling the major problems that confront our nation. Certainly financial markets—and therefore investors—will be very sensitive to the results.
There are signs of progress. As Julie Gorte highlights in this report, the Securities and Exchange Commission recently took some giant steps in the direction of greater corporate transparency and accountability—requiring greater disclosure on such issues as board diversity and executive compensation and issuing interpretive guidance regarding reporting on climate change-related risks and opportunities. Pax World was actively involved in these issues, urging the SEC to embrace these important milestones for investors. As Julie details in her report, we continue to advocate in the public policy arena on issues involving corporate and market behavior, from child labor to executive compensation to greenhouse gas emissions.

And though markets have been volatile, our response at Pax World has been to buckle down and focus on what we do best: managing investment portfolios for investors who believe that more sustainable companies are better long-term investments. Unlike other investment managers who ignore issues like outlandish executive compensation, or predatory lending, or whether a company is taking steps to address potential climate change liabilities, we think such things can be particularly relevant to investors. And so we have stayed focused throughout the downturn, and we continue to believe that ours is a better long-term investment approach.
For 2009, although results were mixed, our Funds generally held up reasonably well. While some outperformed and others underperformed their benchmark indexes and peer groups, the market recovery helped all of the Funds turn in healthy absolute returns for the year. We also continue to be pleased with the performance of three of our newer funds, each of which outperformed their respective benchmark indexes in 2009: the Pax World International Fund returned 39.14%, outperforming the MSCI EAFE (Net) Index return of 31.78%; the Pax World Global Green Fund returned 37.52%, outperforming the FTSE Environmental Opportunities Index Series return of 34.23%, as well as the MSCI World (Net) Index’s return of 29.99%; and the Pax World Small Cap Fund returned 37.02%, outperforming the Russell 2000 Index return of 27.17%. See standardized performance below.
We also remain focused on introducing new products and initiatives to better serve investors. On December 31, 2009, we launched four additional funds with our partner Morningstar Associates. These asset allocation funds, called the ESG Managers® Portfolios, are the first series of open architecture (multi-manager) asset allocation funds in the Sustainable Investing arena, creating a turnkey, one-stop solution for investment advisers whose clients want to participate in this growing investment trend.
As I write, we are also preparing to launch a series of three exchange traded funds (ETFs), which we are calling “ESG Shares,” the first family of ETFs focused exclusively on a Sustainable Investing approach. We hope these funds will be available to investors before the end of April, 2010.
As we enter 2010, despite volatile markets and a continuing recession, I cannot help reflecting on how lucky we are. So much of the world—from Haiti to the Sudan, from Afghanistan to the Congo—is gripped by grinding poverty and

oppression, violence and disaster. Our challenges seem modest in comparison. Pax World has for many years supported the work of Mercy Corps (www.mercycorps.org), one of the world’s leading humanitarian relief organizations. In 2009, in fact, our Global Citizens Program surpassed the $1 million mark—meaning that Pax World shareholders have contributed that much over the years by re-directing all or a part of their reinvested dividends and capital gains to Mercy Corps. Such generosity is much appreciated and has never been more vital.
I hope each of us can do more in 2010, that together we can make a difference, and that this will be a year of genuine progress toward stronger financial markets, a more vibrant and inclusive economy and a more just and sustainable society.
Sincerely,
(JOSEPH F. KEEFE)
Joseph F. Keefe
President and CEO

Pax World Balanced Fund
Portfolio Manager’s Comments
(CHRISTOPHER BROWN)
How did the Pax World Balanced Fund perform in 2009? For the one-year period ended December 31, 2009, the Individual Investor Class, the Institutional Class, and the R Class of the Fund had total returns of 21.41%, 21.70%, and 21.14%, respectively, vs. 26.46% for the S&P 500 Index and 18.40% for the 60% S&P 500 Index/40% Barclays Capital U.S. Aggregate Bond Index blend. For the same one-year period the Lipper Balanced Funds Index had a total return of 23.35%.
What were the most important factors that influenced the performance of the Pax World Balanced Fund during 2009? Stock selection within the information technology and health care sectors caused the majority of the relative underperformance versus peers. Technology companies with higher volatility (beta) tended to outperform some of the more stable companies held by the Fund. Two large biotechnology companies, Amgen and Gilead Sciences, contributed to our relative underperformance within the health care sector. On a positive note, the Fund outperformed the 60% S&P 500 Index/40% Barclays Capital U.S. Aggregate Bond Index blend due to the Fund’s heavier weighting towards equities, and the Fund’s bond component outperformed the Barclays Capital U.S. Aggregate Bond Index.
What are some examples of securities bought and sold by the Pax World Balanced Fund during 2009? Due to potential legislative changes to the U.S. health care system, we initiated a position in Mylan Inc., a global generic and specialty pharmaceutical company. We believe generic pharmaceuticals will play an even more important role in solving some of the healthcare challenges and believe Mylan is well positioned to benefit from more usage of generic drugs.
We also initiated a position in Comphania de Concessoes Rodoviarias (CCR), a Brazilian company that manages highways and roads within Brazil. Our belief is that transportation and infrastructure will be an area of focus as governments try to stimulate growth through new infrastructure projects. We believe CCR will be a major beneficiary in this area.
Stryker Corporation, a specialty medical device company, was eliminated from the portfolio because it no longer met our ESG (environmental, social and governance) criteria.

Pax World Growth Fund
Portfolio Managers’ Comments
 
How did the Pax World Growth Fund perform in 2009? For the one-year period ended December 31, 2009, the Individual Investor Class, the Institutional Class, and the R Class of the Fund had total returns of 38.94%, 39.34%, and 38.67%, respectively, vs. 37.01% for the Russell 3000 Growth Index. For the same one-year period the Lipper Multi-Cap Growth Funds Index had a total return of 39.17%.
(CHRISTOPHER BROWN AND ANTHONY TRZCINKA) What were the most important factors that influenced the performance of the Pax World Growth Fund during 2009? The Fund’s out performance relative to its benchmark was primarily influenced by stock selection within the consumer staples, energy and information technology sectors. In consumer staples, Whole Food Market, Inc. was up just under 200%. Salesforce.com and Cognizant Technology Solutions were both strong performers in information technology and Petrobras Petroleo Brasileiro made a positive contribution to our energy holdings.
The biggest detractor to the Fund’s performance was stock selection within the health care sector. In particular, Cardionet Inc. was a disappointment. Cardionet, which is a leader in wireless ECG transmission, was very negatively impacted by a cut in the reimbursement to one of its major products. The stock price was more than cut in half when the new reimbursement rate was announced and ended the year down close to 75%. Due to the risk profile of the company, the Fund kept its weighting low; however, even with a low weighting a drop of that size had a strong negative impact on the portfolio.
What are some examples of securities bought and sold by the Pax World Growth Fund during 2009? Through the first half of the year we followed an “early cyclical” strategy and added to technology, energy and materials based on our view that the macro backdrop for stocks was moderately bullish. We did trim some positions such as Amazon.com, Best Buy, Microsoft and Cognizant Technology Solutions after a quick run-up in valuations. As the health care debate developed and more details became available, we increased our weighting in the health care sector by adding positions such as King Pharmaceuticals and Teva Pharmaceutical.

We also wanted to maintain our overweight position in technology so we added to the networking products and storage industries within technology. We believe these sectors have very attractive long term fundamentals. Specific names include Brocade Communications and EMC Corp.
Throughout the year we sold positions that we believed were at full valuation as well as for sector allocation reasons. Some names that we sold include State Street Bank and Solarwinds, Inc. Other names were sold for company specific performance reasons, including Cardionet, Eclipsys Corp. and America Movil.

Pax World Small Cap Fund
Portfolio Manager’s Comments
(NATHAN MOSER, CFA) How did the Pax World Small Cap Fund perform in 2009? For the one-year period ended December 31, 2009, the Individual Investor Class, the Institutional Class, and the R Class of the Fund had total returns of 37.02%, 37.44%, and 36.58%, respectively, vs. 27.17% for the Russell 2000 Index. For the same period the Lipper Small-Cap Core Funds Index had a total return of 34.50%.
What were the most important factors that influenced the performance of the Pax World Small Cap Fund during 2009? We believe the Fund’s performance was positively impacted by its defensive positioning in higher quality companies relative to the benchmark and strong stock selection in the energy, industrials and financials sectors. Poor stock selection and an underweight allocation to the consumer discretionary sector detracted from performance.
ICx Technologies, Inc., a technology company focused on developing sensors to detect chemical, biological, radiological and explosive materials, was the Fund’s top contributor to performance. An unfortunate attempted bombing of a U.S. airliner increased investor expectations for the company.
What are some examples of securities bought and sold by the Pax World Small Cap Fund during 2009? Due to periods of high volatility as well as the significant market reversal in March, the Fund experienced increased levels of turnover during 2009. We sold our positions in several securities, including Chattem, SPSS, Inc. and Encore Acquisition — as all these companies were acquired during the year. We also exited our positions in Burger King Holdings, Kendle International and American Oriental Bioengineering as we believed their fundamentals had deteriorated.
We added Transcend Services, a health care company focused on medical dictation. We believe the company’s strong balance sheet and favorable industry reputation position it well for future growth.
We also added Netgear, a technology company focused on networking devices for home and small business use.

Pax World International Fund
Portfolio Manager’s Comments
(IVKA KALUS-BYSTRICKY)
How did the Pax World International Fund perform in 2009? For the one-year period ended December 31, 2009, the Individual Investor Class, the Institutional Class, and the R Class of the Fund had total returns of 39.14%, 39.70%, and 38.65%, respectively, vs. 31.78% for the MSCI EAFE (Net) Index. For the same one year period the Lipper International Large-Cap Core Funds Index had a total return of 29.23%.
What were the most important factors that influenced the performance of the Pax World International Fund during 2009? Stock selection played the largest role in the Fund’s outperformance in 2009, and provided positive attribution across 9 of the 10 sectors and most regions. With the market fearing a global meltdown early in the year, the Fund benefited from its underweight to the financials sector and its focus on quality stocks that its adviser believed had strong balance sheets and sustainable business models. In the subsequent sharp market recovery of the 2nd and 3rd quarters, which was led by “low quality” recovery stocks, the Fund’s focus on investing in underappreciated pockets of global growth, such as water purification, allowed performance to keep up with the broader market. Finally, in the last quarter of the year, risk awareness returned to the market on the back of default concerns in Dubai and Greece. During this period, the Fund’s quality and sustainability focus again helped the Fund outperform the broader market. Also contributing to outperformance throughout the year was the Fund’s sizeable but targeted investment in quality emerging market securities. Performance was negatively impacted for the full year by the Fund’s significant underweight to the financials sector, which is the largest sector in MSCI EAFE. The Fund was also hurt by underexposure to and poor stock selection in Australia.
What are some examples of securities bought and sold by the Pax World International Fund during 2009? During the year, the Fund’s evolution was focused on adding to underappreciated areas of growth, and trimming areas marked by excessive optimism. From a regional perspective, the Fund increased its exposure to emerging markets, particularly to Turkey, Mexico and Israel. This came at the expense of European exposure. An increasingly large underweight to the European and UK regions reflected an intention to take advantage of the market’s excessive

December 31, 2009
optimism towards recovery in these regions. Throughout the year, the Fund also maintained a neutral weight to Japan, based on an under-appreciation of the innovation, cash flow and growth potential of Japanese companies. From a sector perspective, the Fund reduced its exposure to the strongly performing materials and consumer sectors and added to exposure in the underperforming but strong cashflow-generating health care, telecom and utilities sectors. Throughout the year, the Fund maintained a large underweight to the financials sector, where investors do not yet appear to have incorporated the negative profit impact of regulatory changes that are being formulated in response to the credit crisis.
New holdings added to the Fund in 2009 include smart metering companies Spectris and Yamatake, oil pipeline company Tenaris, generic pharmaceutical company Teva, German reinsurer Munich Re, Brazilian toll road operator Cia de Concessoes Rodoviarias, Brazilian cosmetics distributor Natura, a Chinese Yuan currency ETF, Japanese waste processor Daiseki, Austrian oil refiner OMV, Japanese chemical and polysilicon manufacturer Tokuyama, UK software company Sage Group, and Latin American telecom operators America Movil and Portugal Telecom. Divestitures in 2009 include positions in Brazilian oil company Petrobras, Japanese electrical insulator company NGK Insulators, Japanese precious metals recycler Asahi Holdings, Japanese steel manufacturer Kobe Steel, Brazilian paper company Aracruz, Brazilian Real and Australian Dollar ETFs, luxury goods company LVMH, pharmaceutical company Merck KgA, aluminum maker Norsk Hydro, bearing manufacturer NSK, fish farmer Cermaq, Canadian energy company Suncor, Italian bank Unicredit, and Austrian ethanol plant producer Andritz.

Pax World High Yield Bond Fund
Portfolio Manager’s Comments
(MARTY AUSTIN)
How did the Pax World High Yield Bond Fund perform in 2009? For the one-year period ended December 31, 2009, the Individual Investor Class, the Institutional Class, and the R Class of the Fund had total returns of 38.70%, 38.78%, and 38.27%, respectively, vs. 56.28% for the Merrill Lynch High Yield Master I Index and 49.49% for the Lipper High Current Yield Bond 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 2009? The markets rebounded last year with a vengeance after the near collapse of the financial markets in 2008 when bond prices plummeted and spreads widened to historic highs. (Bond spreads are a measure of risk and move inversely to bond prices.) As a result, the Fund’s 2009 total return more than made up for its losses in 2008. Nevertheless, on a relative basis the Fund underperformed its peers.
The biggest factor in the Fund’s relative underperformance was our underweighting in the lower quality debt due to our more conservative stance. This lower quality or distressed debt was avoided by most investors earlier in the year after the virtual freezing of the credit markets. When the markets opened up and distressed companies were able to access capital, much of the liquidity risk was mitigated. This resulted in triple digit annual returns for many CCC and lower rated bonds. Also, strong demand and a very limited supply created a difficult environment for the Fund to purchase high-yield bonds. The resulting large cash position also contributed to the Fund’s underperformance relative to its benchmark.
What are some examples of securities bought and sold by the Pax World High Yield Bond Fund during 2009? We made changes to our portfolio last year to take advantage of the rally. In 2008, we had a much higher exposure to higher rated or BB paper due to the weak economic environment. As the stimulus started to kick in and the economy started to recover, we took profits in BB paper and transitioned into single B — lower rated paper. In some instances we switched into a lower rated bond of the same company where we perceived there was better value. We also increased our holdings in consumer cyclical names and lowered our overweighting in telecom.

Pax World High Yield Bond Fund, continued
Some of the cyclical names that we added to included Solo Cup and Sappi Paper, both paper and packaging companies; Mobile Mini, an industrial company that retrofits containers used in shipping and turns them into storage units; and Nielsen, Warner Music, Virgin Media and Gannett, the newspaper publisher, in the media sector.
We also added to names in the emerging markets that we believed would have better growth than in the U.S. These included Latin American telecom names including Alestra and Axtel. We also added a new holding in the Mexican homebuilding market, Corporacion Geo, and increased our holdings in our two other Mexican homebuilders, Urbi and Homex.
We sold what we believed to be riskier names in the consumer sector such as Brookstone, Blockbuster and Travelport and added to the more stable consumer names including Direct TV, GameStop and Sally Beauty.
We also added to some additional consumer names like Chattem and Stater Brothers, and purchased Chiquita and Susser Holdings, both new positions.
We added to the health care sector, building new positions in Axcan, Fresenius, HCA, and Universal Hospital Services.
We also added to telecom and increased our holdings in MetroPCS, City Telecom and Millicom, and added to some lower risk energy names including Compagnie Generale de Geophysiques and Denbury Resources.

Pax World Women’s Equity Fund
Portfolio Manager’s Comments
(SUJATHA AVUTU, CFA)
How did the Pax World Women’s Equity Fund perform in 2009? For the one-year period ended December 31, 2009, the Individual Investor Class and the Institutional Class of the Fund had total returns of 25.76% and 26.11%, respectively, vs. 28.34% for the Russell 3000 Index. For the same one-year period the Lipper Multi-Cap Core Funds Index had a total return of 35.30%.
What were the most important factors that influenced the performance of the Pax World Women’s Equity Fund during 2009? 2009 was characterized by a high beta rally in which companies with higher volatility outperformed more stable companies, and the Fund overall lagged with its defensive posture. Stock selection in the defensive health care and telecommunications sectors had a significant negative performance impact. On the other hand, stock selection in financials and energy had a favorable performance impact. I had increased the health care sector weight in the second half of 2008, making it the largest overweight sector in the first half of 2009. My thesis was that cash flow security would likely be a catalyst for strong outperformance as investors’ appetite for risk continued to ramp down. However, as noted above, this defensive positioning was not rewarded in the market rally.
Furthermore, stock selection in the telecommunications sector had a meaningful contribution to the Fund’s underperformance. During the year, the competitive pressures in the sector rose rapidly, forcing well-run operators to resort to price cuts, which led to a downward spiral in their operating leverage. The industry also entered uncharted territory having to defend against competition not only from traditional telecommunications companies but also from cable companies as the boundaries started to blur between the two industries.
In contrast, the financial sector had a positive impact as investors favored the sectors that benefited from an economic improvement. I increased the Fund’s financial sector weighting during the year, which made it the largest overweight position. My view was that the sector had underperformed significantly over the prior few quarters, but through various programs instituted by the Federal Reserve, two of three major hurdles were behind the sector; namely, capital requirements from the FDIC and market liquidity. Although the third hurdle,

credit risk, had not yet played out, the sector bounced off from a very depressed level. The dovish stance on interest rates from the Federal Reserve coupled with a directional improvement in balance sheet repair and credit trends helped sector performance. Finally, loosening of liquidity in the markets served as a catalyst for outperformance as investors’ appetite for risk continued to increase.
What are some examples of securities bought and sold by the Pax World Women’s Equity Fund during 2009? The Fund participated in a public offering for Verisk Analytics (VRSK) at a price I believed to be very attractive relative to its growth potential. VRSK provides actuarial and underwriting data solutions for the property and casualty industry. In addition, VRSK also offers fraud detection, loss prediction and quantification solutions to healthcare and mortgage industries. I believe the growth potential for the company’s services is significant with very low penetration in the aforementioned markets. Another company I would like to highlight is Leap Wireless International (LEAP). LEAP, a wireless communications company that sells low cost, no contract, unlimited wireless, voice and data services and operates through the brand names Cricket® and Jump™ Mobile, was under pressure due in part to declining average revenues per unit. I believe this company’s business model is sustainable and replicable to many other markets and that as the company right sizes its expenses, within a couple of quarters it could become cash flow positive.
The largest detractor to performance during the year was Cardionet (BEAT). BEAT is a cardiac arrhythmias diagnostic company through its core mobile cardiac outpatient telemetry. Following the company’s earnings shortfall announcement in early July, the shares declined precipitously. BEAT expects pricing declines in Medicare as well as its commercial business in 2010. While BEAT’s business model is profitable, the question remains as to the company’s ability to right size its cost structure and its impact. My thesis proved to be off the mark as the competitive pressures and the healthcare reform concerns weakened the business model structurally and the Fund sold the stock. Lastly, Genentech (DNA) is a biotechnology company focused on biotherapeutics that address significant unmet medical needs. During the first quarter of 2009, Roche and DNA reached an agreement for DNA to be acquired by Roche. The Fund swapped shares of DNA into Roche following the merger. My core thesis on Roche is that it is a well run company with a strong product pipeline, global reach, cash flow generation and an attractive dividend yield presenting a solid investment opportunity.

1   Pax World Women’s Equity Fund, a series of Pax World Funds Series Trust I, acquired Women’s Equity Fund, a series of Professionally Managed Portfolios (“Old Women’s Equity Fund” ), on October 29, 2007. Performance information shown includes the performance of Retail Class shares of Old Women’s Equity Fund for periods prior to October 29, 2007, which has not been adjusted to reflect any differences in expenses between Old Women’s Equity Fund and the 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
Portfolio Managers’ Comments
(BRUCE JENKYN-JONES & IAN SIMM)
How did the Pax World Global Green Fund perform in 2009? For the one-year period ended December 31, 2009, the Individual Investor Class, the Institutional Class and the R Class of the Fund had total returns of 37.52%, 37.79%, and 37.16%, respectively, vs. 29.99% for the MSCI World (Net) Index. For the same one-year period the FTSE Environmental Opportunities Index Series had a total return of 34.23%.
What were the most important factors that influenced the performance of the Pax World Global Green Fund during 2009? Alternative Energy & Energy Efficiency —During the year, a number of energy efficiency stocks in the portfolio performed well, both as a result of the ongoing cyclical recovery of sectors that had previously underperformed, and also as the benefit of global, targeted stimulus funding began to have a positive influence on performance. Delta Electronics (energy efficient power supplies, Taiwan), GEA (energy efficiency, Germany) and Linde (energy efficiency, Germany), all benefited from these factors. The cyclical recovery of selected construction related companies was evidenced at Kingspan (energy efficiency, Ireland) and at Johnson Controls (energy efficiency, U.S.). In addition, Xinyi Glass (energy efficiency, China), benefited from exposure to the high growth opportunity in solar glass and a recovery in the pricing of float glass due to volume demand from the Chinese construction and automotive markets. Selected, regional renewable energy companies also performed well.
Disappointment during the year came largely from other renewable energy companies. Wind turbine manufacturers Vestas (Denmark) and Gamesa (Spain) were weak following continued uncertainty regarding both 2009 and 2010 volumes, while Hansen Transmissions (wind gearboxes, Belgium) reported disappointing fourth quarter margins. A further negative was the performance of Sunpower (solar, U.S.) which was negatively affected by an accounting irregularity at its Philippine subsidiary and by the increased penetration of low cost Chinese manufacturers into the global solar market.

Water and Pollution Control — The cyclical recovery of the automotive sector supported strong performance at Denso (hybrid auto components, Japan), Horiba (auto emission testing, Japan) and BorgWarner (automotive energy efficiency, U.S.) during the year. Nalco (water treatment chemicals, U.S.), Pall Corporation (filtration, U.S.) and Pentair (water infrastructure, U.S.) all benefited from the outperformance of the industrial sector during the fourth quarter. The placing of the remaining RWE stake in American Water (water utility, U.S.) had an overall disappointing year, although it had good fourth quarter performance. Similarly, Veolia (water utility, France) disappointed due to weakness in its waste business, as well as due to a lack of direction resulting from management change.
Waste Technologies and Resource Management — LKQ (recycled automotive parts, U.S.) rose more than 50% for the year, suggesting a growing opportunity for the only national recycled and refurbished automotive parts group in the country. Stericycle (clinical waste management, U.S.) finished the year well following the approval of its acquisition of Medserve in November. A resurgence of M&A activity also made a material positive contribution, with Shanks (integrated waste management, UK) becoming subject to a bid from a financial sponsor. Underperformers included Sims Metal Management (scrap metal recycling, Australia), which was impacted by volatile scrap pricing during the year, and Covanta (waste to energy, U.S.), which was weak during the year due to its exposure to unprecedented low gas prices in the US market.
What are some examples of securities bought and sold by the Pax World Global Green Fund during 2009? Alternative Energy & Energy Efficiency — Following a year of uncertainty in the global wind market, we added selected wind related companies to the portfolio. We added Hansen Transmissions (wind gearboxes, Belgium), as we believe that the turbine manufacturers have now fully destocked, suggesting a quick rebound in orders for component suppliers when the anticipated growth returns to the market. In addition, we participated in the IPO of China Longyuan in the latter part of 2009, giving the portfolio access to the leading developer of projects in the fastest growing wind market in the world. In addition, we added to existing positions in Vestas (wind turbines, Denmark) and Gamesa (wind turbines, Spain), as we believe that the second half of 2010 will see a strong recovery in U.S. wind project activity. With global stimulus funding beginning to have a positive impact, we also added Xinyi Glass (energy efficiency, China) to the portfolio, to gain access to automotive and infrastructure stimulus in the Chinese market. During the period, stocks that we sold included EDF Energies Nouvelles

(renewable IPP, France), which we felt offered lower growth potential than competitors in the Fund, and Nibe (heat pumps, Sweden), which we felt was too illiquid for the portfolio.
Water and Pollution Control — During the year we reduced the portfolio’s exposure to highly defensive water utility names as the market recovered strongly in the second half, and sold out of positions in Pennon (water and waste, UK) and Hera (water utility, Italy). An area that lagged the market recovery was monitoring and testing, which we feel will recover with corporate R&D in 2010, and we consequently added Campbell Brothers (Australia) to the portfolio, as well as adding to our existing position in Shimadzu (monitoring & testing, Japan). Finally, we added to our position in 3M (filtration, U.S.) during the year, as we believe the operating leverage within the business will enable the company to perform well in 2010.
Waste Technologies and Resource Management — We added Daiseki (hazardous waste management, Japan) to the portfolio during the year to gain exposure to the recovery in Japanese industrial output, most particularly to the cyclical recovery in the automotive market. We sold out of Grontmij (environmental consultant, Netherlands) on liquidity grounds, and due to a slowdown in project activity in the UK water market in the lead-up to the regulatory review.

Sustainable Investing
(JULIE GORTE)
Sustainability Update
Sometimes progress is made in tiny steps, but every now and then we have the opportunity to kick in the afterburners. In the last few months, our work on better reporting and disclosure was given a jet-fueled boost by the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), which in two separate actions greatly enhanced disclosure on corporate proxies and voted to issue interpretive guidance on climate risk disclosure.
The SEC’s ruling on proxy disclosure requires companies to disclose several new things that, for those who take the time to read proxies, should help investors to spot companies that may be skating on thinner ice when it comes to corporate governance. The new requirements, which take effect on February 28 this year, cover reporting on the relationship of compensation policies and practices to risk management, the backgrounds and qualifications of directors, legal actions involving executive officers or directors, board diversity, board oversight of risk management, stock option awards to executives and directors, and potential conflicts of interest of compensation consultants.
These were steps that Pax World supported in a comment letter to the SEC on September 11, 2009, which the agency cited four times in its final rulemaking release. We believe that these enhancements will prove useful in investors’ analysis of corporate governance, which may not be the most riveting topic in the world, but it is something like flying an airplane: hours of boredom interspersed with moments of sheer terror. When a company has a significant governance problem, the only investors who feel good are the ones who don’t own it, because it can be accompanied by a swift and decisive plunge in share value (the “sheer terror” part). The potential to foresee governance problems is very well worth hours of boredom spent reading proxies.
Another great leap forward came in January this year, when the SEC voted 3-2 to issue interpretive guidance on climate risks and opportunities. In September 2007, Pax World was one of two asset management firms that joined with 21 other institutional investment representatives to petition the SEC to issue guidance on climate risk disclosure. The petitioners included the

treasurers, comptrollers or other state officials representing California, Florida, Kentucky, Maine, Maryland, New Jersey, New York, North Carolina, Oregon, Rhode Island and Vermont. Over the succeeding two-plus years, I was a member of delegations put together by the petition’s main movers, Ceres and Environmental Defense, that met with SEC staff and commissioners urging them to give the petition their attention and support. As SEC Chair Mary Schapiro said when the vote was taken, this action does not change the law: companies have long been obliged to report to their shareholders on issues that are considered material. But what it does do is to signal that the SEC sees climate change and its impacts as possibly material for many companies, enough to issue guidance on what and how to report on climate-related legislation, litigation, international treaties, and physical and reputational impacts. This will not only aid all investors in making decisions on which securities are best over the long term, it is a step on the road to consideration of broader, mandatory environmental and social disclosures.
Over the past year, Pax World has also supported initiatives or filed shareholder proposals to address, among other things, the use of child and forced labor in cotton fields, the environmental and safety implications of new drilling methods for natural gas, the disclosure of corporate political donations, public policy action on reducing greenhouse gas emissions, separation of chair and CEO positions on corporate boards, giving shareholders a voice on executive pay, financial reform legislation, and environmental, social and governance (ESG) disclosure on the part of small cap companies.

achieves some increment of progress, and we need every bit of it to make the global economy truly sustainable. Sometimes it takes several rounds of activism before any measurable progress is made, but the SEC’s decisions over the past few months are good reminders that, although it may take awhile, as Margaret Mead said, sometimes a small group of committed individuals really can change the world.

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 July 1, 2009 and ending on December 31, 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.

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, and to the extent consistent with its primary 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).
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 Pax World Management LLC (the “Adviser”) believes have above-average growth prospects.
The Small Cap 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 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.
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 equity securities (such as common stock, preferred stocks and securities convertible into common or preferred stocks) of non-U.S. issuers.
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 to the extent that it is consistent with the Fund’s primary objective. The Fund seeks to achieve this objective by investing, under normal market conditions, at least eighty percent (80%) of its total assets 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 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. The Fund seeks to achieve this objective by investing primarily 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.
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 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

86


Table of Contents

valued as determined in good faith pursuant to policies and procedures approved by the Board of 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. Various factors may be considered in order to make a good faith determination of a security’s fair value. These factors include, but are not limited to, the type and cost of the security; contractual or legal restrictions on resale of the security; relevant financial or business developments of the issuer; actively traded similar or related securities; conversion or exchange rights on the security; related corporate actions; 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 the Funds’ net asset value is determined; and changes in overall market conditions. At December 31, 2009, the High Yield Bond Fund held one security fair valued at $69,497 representing 0.02% 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 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.

Notes to Financial Statements, continued
The net asset value per share (“NAV”) of each class of a Fund’s 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.
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. A three-tier hierarchy has been established 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 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.)

The change in unrealized gain/loss on Level 3 securities held at December 31, 2009 totaled a loss of $10,000 in the Women’s Equity Fund for the year then ended.
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 Funds. Expenses directly attributable to a class of shares, such as distribution and service (12b-1) fees, are charged to that class.
Federal Income Taxes Each of the Funds has elected to be treated and intends to 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

91


Table of Contents

Notes to Financial Statements, continued
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. 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 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

92


Table of Contents

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 December 31, 2009, the value of securities loaned, payable for cash collateral due to brokers and non-cash collateral pledged by brokers were as follows:

The Trust has entered into an Investment Advisory Contract (the “Agreement”) with Pax World Management Corp. (the “Adviser”). Pursuant to the terms of the agreement, the Adviser, subject to the supervision of the Board of Trustees, is responsible for managing the assets of the Funds in accordance with the Funds’ respective investment objective, investment programs and policies.
Pursuant to the Agreement the Adviser has contracted to furnish the Funds continuously with an investment program, determining what investments to purchase, sell and exchange for the Funds and what assets to hold uninvested. The Adviser also has contracted to provide office space and certain management and administrative facilities for the Funds. In return for such services, the Funds pay an advisory fee to the Adviser at the following annual rates (expressed as a percentage of the average daily net assets of such Fund):

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.

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 December 31, 2009, the Balanced Fund held $21,589,860 or 1.11% of net assets and the High Yield Bond Fund held $129,723,416 or 33.21% of net assets in securities exempt from registration under Rule 144A of the Act.

Notes to Financial Statements, continued
At December 31, 2009, the Balanced Fund held $4,058,588 representing 0.21% of net assets and the High Yield Bond Fund held $14,273,782 of illiquid securities, representing 3.65% of net assets. The Fund 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 Fund may experience difficulty in closing out positions at prevailing market prices.
NOTE D—Tax Information
For financial reporting purposes, capital accounts are adjusted to reflect the tax character of permanent book/tax differences. Reclassifications are primarily due to tax treatment of gain (loss) on foreign currency transactions, paydown transactions, and tax treatment related to investments in REITs, ETFs and PFICs.
For the year ended December 31, 2009, the Funds recorded the following reclassifications:
                         
    Undistributed net     Accumulated net     Paid in  
Fund   investment income     realized gain (loss)     capital  
 
Balanced
  $ (97,323 )   $ 97,323     $

Table of Contents

December 31, 2009

Net investment income, net realized gains (losses) and net assets were not affected by these reclassifications.
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. In addition to permanent differences previously noted, temporary differences may arise from recognition of certain items of income, expense, gain or loss in different periods for financial reporting and tax purposes. Such differences will reverse at some time in the future. 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. For tax purposes, short-term capital gains are considered ordinary income.
The tax character of distributions paid during 2009 and 2008 was as follows:
                                         
    Distributions paid in 2009     Distributions paid in 2008

During the periud frum November 1, 2009 thruugh December 31, 2009, the Growth Fund and the Women’s Equity Fund incurred capital losses in the amounts of $13,040 and $119,014, respectively; and the Growth Fund, International Fund and the Women’s Equity Fund incurred foreign currency losses of $2,574; $1,243; and $1,712, respectively. These losses are treated for Federal income tax purposes as if they occurred on January 1, 2010. Accordingly, during 2009 the Funds may have made distributions, as required by Internal Revenue Code Regulations, in excess of amounts recognized for financial reporting purposes.
For federal income tax purposes, capital loss carryforwards may he carried forward and applied against future capital gains. In 2009, the Funds utilized prior carryforward losses and carried forward remaining losses as follows:

Uncertain Tax Position 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 2005 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 December 31, 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 December 31, 2009, reported as Fees paid indirectly in the Statements of Operations, were as follows:

NOTE F—Other
In 2007, the Individual Investor Class of the High Yield Bond Fund received a payment of $197,873 from the 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 200, 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.
Effective February 23, 2009, the Pax World Value Fund (the “Value Fund”) was liquidated.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the Board of Trustees and Shareholders of Pax World Funds Series Trust I:
We have audited the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities of Pax World Balanced Fund, Pax World Growth Fund, Pax World Small Cap Fund, Pax World International Fund, Pax World High Yield Bond Fund, Pax World Women’s Equity Fund, and Pax World Global Green Fund (collectively, the “Funds;” the seven funds constituting the Pax World Funds Series Trust I), including the schedules of investments, as of December 31, 2009, and the related statements of operations for the year then ended, and the statements of changes in net assets and the financial highlights for each of the periods indicated therein. These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Funds’ management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and financial highlights based on our audits. The financial highlights for each of the three years in the period ended March 31, 2007 of the Pax World Women’s Equity Fund were audited by another independent registered public accounting firm whose report, dated May 18, 2007, expressed an unqualified opinion on the statement of changes in net assets and those financial highlights.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and financial highlights are free of material misstatement. We were not engaged to perform an audit of the Funds’ internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Funds’ internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements and financial highlights, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of December 31, 2009 by correspondence with the custodian and brokers or by other appropriate auditing procedures where replies from brokers were not received. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Pax World Balanced Fund, Pax World Growth Fund, Pax World Small Cap Fund, Pax World International Fund, Pax World High Yield Bond Fund, Pax World Women’s Equity Fund, and Pax World Global Green Fund of Pax World Funds Series Trust I at December 31, 2009, the results of their operations for year then ended, and the changes in their net assets and the financial highlights for each of the periods indicated therein, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.
