**Expenses Example**

The example below is intended to help investors compare the cost of investing in the Growth Fund with the cost of investing in other mutual funds. 

The example assumes an investor invests $10,000 in the Growth Fund for the time periods indicated and then redeems all shares at the end of those periods. The example also assumes that the investment has a 5% return each year and that the Fund's operating expenses remain the same. Although actual costs may be higher or lower, based on these assumptions an investor's costs would be:

| 1 year | 3 years | 5 years | 10 years |
|--------|---------|---------|----------|
| $136   | $425    | $734    | $1,613   |

**Portfolio Turnover Rate**

During the most recent fiscal year, the Growth Fund's portfolio turnover rate was 7% of the average value of its portfolio. When consistent with best execution, the Fund buys and sells securities through Saturna Brokerage Services, Inc. (SBS), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Saturna Capital.

### Principal Investment Strategies

The Growth Fund seeks capital growth by investing in common stocks of U.S. companies. The Growth Fund diversifies its investments across industries and companies, and generally follows a value investment style. The Growth Fund looks for companies with growing revenues and earnings, favoring companies trading for less than the adviser's assessment of intrinsic value, which typically means companies with low price/earning multiples, low price to cash flow, and higher dividend yields. The Growth Fund may invest in securities of smaller or newer companies as well as those of well-seasoned companies of any size.

### Principal Risks of Investing

The value of Growth Fund shares rises and falls as the value of the stocks in which the Fund invests goes up and down. Only consider investing in the Fund if you are willing to accept the risk that you may lose money. Fund share prices, yields, and total returns will change with market fluctuations as well as the fortunes of the industries and companies in which the Fund invests.

The Growth Fund may invest in smaller companies, which involve higher investment risks in that they often have limited product lines, markets and resources, or their securities may trade less frequently and have greater price fluctuation than those of larger companies. 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.

### Performance

The following bar chart and table indicate the risks of investing in the Growth Fund by showing changes in performance from year to year and by showing how the Fund's average annual returns for 1, 5 and 10 years compare to those of a broad-based market index. A fund's past performance (before and after taxes) is not a guarantee of how a fund will perform in the future.

Performance data current to the most recent month-end and quarter-end are available on www.sextantmutualfunds.com.

### Payments to Broker-Dealers and Other Financial Intermediaries

If you purchase the Growth Fund through a broker-dealer or other financial intermediary (such as a bank or investment adviser), the Fund and its related companies may pay the intermediary for the sale of Fund shares and related services. These payments may create a conflict of interest by influencing the broker-dealer or other intermediary and your salesperson to recommend the Fund over another investment. Ask your salesperson or visit your broker-dealer or other financial intermediary's website for more information.
