Investment Objective
Long-term capital growth.
Investment Approach
The Saturna Growth Fund actively seeks capital growth by investing in common stocks of US companies. The Fund looks for companies with growing revenues and earnings, favoring companies trading for less than the adviser’s assessment of intrinsic value.
- Targeted to investors seeking long-term capital growth
- Generally large-cap, and can invest in domestic stocks with market capitalizations greater than $1 billion
- Diversified across industries and companies
- Emphasizes financially strong, sustainable issuers and avoids companies primarily involved in alcohol, tobacco, pornography, weapons, gambling, and fossil fuel extraction, production, or refining

The Saturna Growth Fund intends to distribute its net investment income and net realized capital gains, if any, to its shareowners. Distributions from net capital gains are paid at the end of the year; income dividends are paid at the end of the year — as a result of its investment strategy, the Growth Fund may not pay income dividends.
Distributions for the last five years are listed in the table above. For prior distributions, please contact a Saturna representative.
Regulations regarding distributions can be complex, and there are several methods for managing your tax liability. Please consult a tax advisor about your particular circumstances. You also may obtain helpful information by calling the Internal Revenue Service at 1-800-829-1040 or visiting www.irs.gov.
If applicable, distribution information will appear on Form 1099-DIV, typically sent in late January. For more information on tax documentation, please visit our Tax Documentation page.
The Fund pays per-share distributions to shareowners invested on the Record Date. On the Payable Date, the fund's share price is reduced by the amount of its distribution.
The following tables describe the fees and expenses mutual fund shareowners may pay. There are no shareowner fees (fees paid directly from an investment). The Fund imposes no sales charge (load) on purchases or reinvested dividends, or any deferred sales charge (load) upon redemption. There are no exchange fees or account fees. Investments in mutual funds are subject to ongoing expenses. Saturna endeavors to keep these fees low. We encourage you to compare the following fees with similar fees of other no-load mutual funds:
Shareowner Fees
(fees paid directly from your investment)
| None |
Annual Fund Operating Expenses
(expenses that you pay each year as a percentage of the value of your investment)
Investor Shares | Z Shares | |
| Management Fees | 0.50% | 0.50% |
| Distribution (12b-1) Fees | 0.25% | None |
| Other Expenses | 0.23% | 0.25% |
| Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses | 0.98% | 0.75% |
When you buy shares through a financial intermediary, that intermediary may charge a transaction fee or commission which is not reflected in the expenses table. Purchases and redemptions of Fund shares will be made at the daily net asset value established by the Fund (before imposition of a commission).
Investment Minimum
| The minimum initial investment for both Investor Shares and Z Shares is $1,000 (for tax-sheltered accounts, there is no minimum). |
