Financial Stability
Financial Strength
Saturna Capital's income derives from four business
activities:
- Investment management fees from private accounts and affiliated mutual funds (74%);
- Administration fees from servicing affiliates (23%);
- Brokerage services through its subsidiary, Saturna Brokerage Services 2%);
- Miscellaneous (1%);
For the fiscal year ended June 30, 2007, Saturna Capital operated profitably with revenues of $7,111,671. At June 30, 2007, Saturna had shareholder equity of $3,027,954. Included is Saturna Brokerage Services’ shareholder equity ($453,889 at June 30, 2007), well in excess of regulatory requirements.
Saturna Capital Corporation’s and Saturna Brokerage Services’ June 30, 2007 annual reports, with audited financial statements, are available free upon request.
Compliance
Saturna Capital’s business operations are subject to rules and regulations for
investment advisers, mutual funds, transfer agents, and broker-dealers. We devote
substantial resources to meeting these requirements, which can be summarized as
(1) always putting client interests first and (2) making full disclosure of practices and
any potential conflicts.
Mr. James Winship serves Saturna Capital as General Counsel and Chief Compliance
Officer, Adviser and Funds. He has more than 30 years experience in the
securities and financial businesses, with almost 20 years dedicated to the mutual
fund and advisory businesses. He is assisted by Mr. G. Scott Stroh, an attorney
and Compliance Officer for Saturna Brokerage. Mr. Kaiser serves as the Chief
Compliance Officer for Saturna Brokerage Services.
Code of Ethics
All Saturna employees are subject to a strict Code of Ethics, common to
Saturna Capital, Saturna Brokerage Services, and the affiliated mutual funds.
Transactions for clients have priority over employee transactions and personal
transactions cannot operate adversely to clients’ interests. Pre-clearance
of employee trading in securities may be required to give clients adequate
opportunity to act on recommendations before employees may act. Saturna
Capital Corporation, as well as its employees and affiliates, are encouraged to
invest in the Saturna mutual funds. Mr. Kaiser maintains substantial positions in
the Saturna mutual funds, and does not trade securities for his own account.
A copy of the Code of Ethics is available to any client or prospective client free upon request, and on the Saturna website (www.saturna.com). All transactions by Saturna employees are reported under the Code of Ethics and monitored by its Chief Compliance Officer. Violations of the Code of Ethics may result in censure, fines and/or dismissal of any employee.
