Investment decisions are made in accordance with Islamic principles. The Fund diversifies its investments across industries and companies, and generally follows a value investment style. Common stock purchases are restricted to dividend-paying companies, which are expected to have more stable stock prices and tend to be larger companies. The value of Income Fund shares rises and falls as the value of the securities 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 the fluctuations in the securities markets as well as the fortunes of the industries and companies in which the Fund invests. The Income Fund's restricted ability to invest in certain market sectors, such as financial companies and conventional fixed-income securities, limits opportunities and may increase the risk of loss during economic downturns. Because Islamic principles preclude the use of interest-paying instruments, the Fund does not maximize current income because reserves remain in cash. The Income Fund may invest in securities that are not traded in the United States when market conditions or investment opportunities arise that, in the adviser's judgment, warrant such investment. Investments in the securities of foreign issuers may involve risks in addition to those normally associated with investments in the securities of U.S. issuers. All foreign investments are subject to risks of: (1) foreign political and economic instability; (2) adverse movements in foreign exchange rates; (3) currency devaluation; (4) the imposition or tightening of exchange controls or other limitations on repatriation of foreign capital; (5) changes in foreign governmental attitudes towards private investment, including potential nationalization, increased taxation or confiscation of assets; and (6) differing reporting, accounting, and auditing standards of foreign countries.

Investment Objective Fees and Expenses Portfolio Turnover Principal Investment Strategies The Developing World Fund only buys stocks of companies with significant exposure (50% or more of assets or revenues) to countries with developing economies and/or markets. Investment decisions are made in accordance with Islamic principles. The Fund diversifies its investments across the countries of the developing world, industries, and companies, and generally follows a value investment style. In determining whether a country is part of the developing world, the adviser will consider such factors as the country's per capita gross domestic product, the percentage of the country's economy that is industrialized, market capitalization as a percentage of gross domestic product, the overall regulatory environment, and limits on foreign ownership and restrictions on repatriation of initial capital or income. By allowing investments in companies headquartered in more advanced economies yet having the majority of assets or revenues in the developing world, the Developing World Fund seeks to reduce its foreign investing risk. The value of Developing World Fund shares rises and falls as the value of the stocks in which the Fund invests goes up and down.

Because Islamic principles preclude the use of interest-paying instruments, the Fund does not maximize current income because reserves remain in cash. The Developing World Fund involves risks not typically associated with investing in U.S. securities. These include fluctuations in currency exchange rates, currency devaluation, less public information about securities, less governmental market supervision, and lack of uniform financial, accounting, social and political standards. Investments in the securities of foreign issuers may involve risks in addition to those normally associated with investments in the securities of U.S. issuers. All foreign investments are subject to risks of: (1) foreign political and economic instability; (2) adverse movements in foreign exchange rates; (3) currency devaluation; (4) the imposition or tightening of exchange controls or other limitations on repatriation of foreign capital; (5) changes in foreign governmental attitudes towards private investment, including potential nationalization, increased taxation or confiscation of assets, and (6) differing reporting, accounting, and auditing standards of foreign countries. The risks of foreign investing are generally magnified in the smaller and more volatile securities markets of the developing world. Fees and Expenses Portfolio Turnover Principal Investment Strategies The Growth Fund invests only in common stocks, including foreign stocks. Investment decisions are made in accordance with Islamic principles. The Fund diversifies its investments across industries and companies, and generally follows a value investment style. The Fund favors companies expected to grow earnings and stock prices faster than the economy, and tend to be smaller and less seasoned companies. 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 the fluctuations in the securities markets as well as the fortunes of the industries and companies in which the Fund invests. The smaller and less seasoned companies that may be in the Growth Fund have a greater risk of price volatility. 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. The Growth Fund's restricted ability to invest in certain market sectors, such as financial companies and fixed-income securities, limits opportunities and may increase the risk of loss during economic downturns.
