Under the normal circumstances, the Fund invests its net assets in domestic and foreign securities chosen by its Investment Advisor that meet Islamic principles. Islamic principles generally preclude investments in certain industries (e.g. alcohol, pornography and gambling) and investments in interest bearing debt obligations or businesses that derive a substantial amount of interest income. Any uninvested cash will be held in non-interest bearing deposits or invested in manner following Islamic principles. Under normal circumstances, the Fund plans to fully invest its assets in securities that meet Islamic principles. The Investment Advisor is advised by a Board of Trustees of prominent Islamic scholars and community leaders from the United States.

- Active Portfolio Management - An actively managed portfolio enables the Fund to take advantage of future opportunities in the market while staying true to Islamic principles. Among the securities that meet Islamic principles, the Investment Advisor determines a security's attractiveness for purchase based on a number of factors, including its anticipated value and record of earnings growth, among other things.
Mutual Fund investing involves risk; principal loss is possible. The Fund invests in foreign securities which involve greater volatility and political, economic, and currency risks and differences in accounting methods. It is possible that the Islamic Shari'ah restrictions placed on investments and reflected in the main investment strategies may result in the Fund not performing as well as mutual funds not subject to such restrictions.
Diversification does not assure a profit or protect against a loss in a declining market.
