News Article

Bellingham, October 30, 2025 – Saturna Capital is proud to announce that Dan Kim, director of research and portfolio manager of the Saturna International Fund and deputy portfolio manager of the Amana Growth Fund, was quoted in Market Watch Deep Dive article published on October 30, “This growth portfolio looks far beyond ‘Magnificent Seven’ stocks to profit from AI,” as well as featured on CNBC’s Worldwide Exchange with host Frank Holland on October 31, discussing forward-looking investment strategies and the effects of artificial intelligence on corporate profitability.

In Market Watch, Kim offered his perspective on the current environment for growth investors. “The corporate-enterprise sector is doing fantastic” regarding tremendous increases to profit margins. “At the same time, we are seeing cracks in the consumer-credit market and weakness in the labor market,” said Kim. He noted that while many investors focus heavily on a handful of large tech stocks and “too many eyeballs hyper analyzing the magnificent [sic] 7 stocks”, Saturna Capital’s approach looks far beyond the usual suspects to find hidden potential in global markets. 

Kim emphasized that we’re still early in the AI rollout, and he expects ongoing improvements in corporate margins even as consumer trends shift. He added that Saturna’s investment process is about finding companies with a strong disconnect between market perception and underlying fundamentals “especially in international markets, to capitalize on undiscovered inflecting blue-chip stories.”

The Market Watch article and the CNBC interview highlight Saturna International Fund's strategy to diversify away from concentrated US tech holdings and instead target unique growth opportunities available globally. Saturna is excited to see its approach recognized and remains committed to identifying the next wave of sustainable growth for its clients.

Fund share prices, yields, and total returns will change with market fluctuations as well as the fortunes of the countries, industries, and companies in which it invests. Foreign investing involves risks not normally associated with investing solely in US securities. These include fluctuations in currency exchange rates, less public information about securities, less governmental market supervision, and the lack of uniform financial, social, and political standards. Foreign investing heightens the risk of confiscatory taxation, seizure or nationalization of assets, establishment of currency controls, or adverse political or social developments that affect investments. Growth stocks, which can be priced on future expectations rather than current results, may decline substantially when expectations are not met or general market conditions weaken.
