Small Cap Value 2Q18

June 30, 2018

Small Cap Value Fund

Index Drivers:

During the second quarter, the Russell 2000 Index saw strength in the Energy, Real Estate, and Consumer Staples while the Industrials, Materials, and Financials sectors underperformed

Performance Drivers:

The portfolio’s relative performance benefitted from favorable stock selection in Information Technology and Utilities.  Sonic shares moved higher after reporting better than expected same-store sales as weather normalized and management provided a positive outlook. Novanta continued to post strong results as they transition further up the value-chain and expand their addressable markets.  SRC Energy rallied on the back of solid results and rising crude oil prices.  Omnicell gained after strong implementations for their XT platform with new products in place to further support additional growth.  Brooks Automation climbed on strong results across both their life science and semiconductor segments with management’s guidance for their upcoming quarter well ahead of estimates.

 

The portfolio’s relative performance was negatively impacted by unfavorable stock selection in Energy and Financials. Callon Petroleum fell on investor concerns regarding pipeline takeaway capacity for their operations in the Permian Basin. Summit Materials declined as weather caused volumes to come in below expectations and investors awaited future acquisitions. Alamo Group saw results pressured by a strike at one of their plants, now resolved, and management continued to invest in additional plants and equipment to support future growth.  Hostess shares moved lower as the loss of shelf space at a major grocer is a near-term headwind to topline growth, though management plans to increase spending in subsequent periods to help reaccelerate growth.  LegacyTexas fell as elevated credit costs from two specific credits drove earnings below expectations even as their net interest margin expanded from higher rates.

    In challenging moments and times of uncertainty, i In challenging moments and times of uncertainty, it's natural to feel disheartened. However, as devoted followers of Jesus Christ, we are encouraged to prioritize seeking the Lord in every aspect of our lives, especially during tough circumstances.

As Hurricane Milton approaches Florida, remember the importance of relying not on our own understanding but rather anchoring ourselves in God's eternal word. The Scriptures remind us that even when storms rage around us—both literally and metaphorically—our faith can remain steadfast.

By immersing ourselves in prayer and scripture our hearts will be firmly planted in the truth of Christ’s promises. Trusting Him provides peace amid turmoil and assurance that we will endure with unwavering faith through any trial. #faith #HurricaneMilton #StaySafeFlorida #InChrist

We pray not only for protection but also for a swift recovery for anyone impacted by this potentially catastrophic storm. Together, we stand strong as one community—ready to support each other before, during, and after the storm passes. #Prayer #InChristAlone #HurricaneMilton

  • Biblically Responsible Investing

    Investing involves risk, including the potential loss of principal.

    Before investing, carefully consider the fund’s investment objectives, risks, charges, and expenses of the investment company. This and other important information can be found in the fund’s prospectus. To obtain a copy, visit TIMOTHYPLAN.COM or call 800.846.7526. Read each prospectus carefully before investing.

    Because the Timothy Plan Funds do not invest in excluded securities, the Funds may be riskier than other funds that invest in a broader array of securities. There are risks when a fund limits its investments to particular sized companies, and all companies are subject to market risk. The Fund recently experienced significant negative short-term performance due to market volatility associated with the Covid-19 pandemic.
