Investment Objective
Long-term capital growth.
Investment Approach
The Saturna International Fund diversifies its investments among many countries, predominantly those with mature markets (such as Europe and Canada), and may invest in companies in emerging markets. The Fund normally invests at least 80% of its net assets in equity securities with growing revenues and earnings, trading below the adviser’s assessment of intrinsic value.
- Targeted to investors seeking long-term capital growth
- Generally large-cap, and can invest in foreign stocks with market capitalizations greater than $1 billion
- Value investment style, favoring income-producing securities of more seasoned companies
- Incorporates a sustainable investing focus and generally avoids companies primarily engaged in alcohol, tobacco, pornography, weapons, gambling, and fossil fuel extraction, production, or refining

The Saturna International Fund intends to distribute its net investment income and net realized capital gains, if any, to its shareowners. Distributions from income dividends and net capital gains are paid at the end of the year.
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 | 0.26% | 0.30% |
| Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses1 | 1.01% | 0.75% |
1 The adviser has contractually agreed through March 31, 2027, to waive fees and/or reimburse expenses of the Fund's Z Shares to the extent necessary to ensure that the net operating expenses of the Fund’s Z Shares, excluding brokerage commissions, taxes, and extraordinary expenses, do not exceed the net operating expense ratio of 0.75%. This expense limitation agreement may be changed or terminated only with approval of the Board of Trustees.
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). |
