The "Return After Taxes on Distributions and Sale of Fund Shares" may be higher than the "Return Before Taxes" due to an assumed tax benefit from any losses on a sale of Fund shares at the end of the measurement period.

Actual after-tax returns depend on your tax situation and may differ from those shown. Furthermore, the after-tax returns shown are not relevant to those who hold their shares through tax-deferred arrangements such as 401(k) plans or IRAs.

(the “Advisor”), anticipates will increase over the long term.  Islamic principles generally preclude investments in certain businesses (<font style="FONT-STYLE: italic; DISPLAY: inline">e.g.</font>, alcohol, pornography and gambling) and investments in interest bearing debt obligations or businesses that derive interest income as their primary source of income.  The Fund may invest in companies of all market capitalizations.  Any uninvested cash will be held in non-interest bearing deposits or invested in a manner following Islamic principles.  There can be no guarantee that the Fund will achieve its investment objective.</font> </div> <br/><div style="TEXT-INDENT: 0pt; DISPLAY: block; MARGIN-LEFT: 0pt; MARGIN-RIGHT: 0pt" align="justify"> <font style="DISPLAY: inline; FONT-FAMILY: Times New Roman; FONT-SIZE: 10pt">Among the securities that meet Islamic principles, the Advisor will determine a security’s attractiveness for purchase based on a number of factors, including its anticipated value, record of earnings growth, and possible turn around, among other things.  The Advisor may invest in “growth” or “value” stocks, but it anticipates that a majority of its investments will be of the growth type.  The Fund may sell portfolio securities at any time when, in the Advisor’s judgment, their price has reached the intended target, their fundamentals have deteriorated, or there are better investment opportunities.  The Fund normally does not invest in emerging markets securities except for those traded on U.S. exchanges.</font> </div>
