WHAT IS SHARI’AH - COMPLIANT INVESTING? - Shari'ah is the dynamic body of Islamic religious law. - Shari'ah compliant investment funds are governed by the principles of Shari'ah law as sanctioned by a Shari'ah Supervisory Board and continuously monitored by a designated Shari'ah Advisor or Auditor. - To ensure Shari'ah-compliance, investment opportunities are put through social and financial screens. COMPANY ELIGIBILITY To determine their eligibility, companies are screened to ensure that each meets the standards set out by the Shari’ah Supervisory Board. A company must meet Shari'ah requirements for acceptable products, business activities, debt levels, and interest income and expenses. SCREENS FOR ACCEPTABLE BUSINESS ACTIVITIES If a company primarily deals in the products listed below, they are NOT considered potential investments under Shari’ah law. Any firm falling into this category is eliminated from the eligible list. l Alcohol l Tobacco l Pork-related products l Conventional financial services (banking, insurance, etc.) l Weapons and defense l Entertainment (hotels, casinos/gambling, cinema, pornography, music, etc.) During the screening process, each company is examined based on how it earns revenue. The sectors listed below are considered inappropriate for Islamic investment purposes and companies in those sectors are EXCLUDED from the list. l Defense l Brewers l Distillers & Vintners l Food Products l Recreational Products l Tobacco l Consumer Finance l Specialty Finance l Restaurants & Bars l Banks l Full Line Insurance l Insurance Brokers l Property & Casualty Insurance l Reinsurance l Life Insurance l Real Estate Dev. And Holding l Food Retailers & Wholesalers l Broadcasting & Entertainment l Media Agencies l Gambling l Hotels l Recreational Services l Investment Services l Mortgage Finance SCREENS FOR ACCEPTABLE FINANCIAL RATIOS After the business activity screening is completed, companies are then evaluated according to several financial ratio filters. These filters are based on criteria set by the Shari`ah Supervisory Board. This screen removes companies with unacceptable levels of debts or impure interest income. All of the following ratios must be less than 33%: l Total debt divided by trailing 12-month average market capitalization l The sum of a company’s cash and interest-bearing securities divided by trailing 12-month average market capitalization l Accounts receivables divided by trailing 12-month average market capitalization If a company passes both screens then they are considered as possible investments for the Fund. Each potential investment is also further scrutinized by the Portfolio Advisor for investment quality and potential. ON-GOING REVIEW The list of eligible companies is reviewed quarterly to ensure continued adherence to the established criteria. Liquidity is an additional criterion for inclusion. The list of eligible companies include only actively traded stocks that are easily accessible to investors. The very smallest and most thinly traded stocks are excluded.

RISK RATING The value of the Fund can go down as well as up. You could lose money. Global Growth Assets Inc. (“GGAI”) has rated the volatility of this Fund as medium. This rating is based on how much the Fund’s returns have changed from year to year. It doesn’t tell you how volatile the Fund will be in the future. The rating can change over time. A fund with a low risk rating can still lose money. One way to gauge risk is to look at how much a fund’s returns change over time. This is called "volatility". In general, funds with higher volatility will have returns that change more over time. They typically have a greater chance of losing money and may have a greater chance of higher returns. Funds with lower volatility tend to have returns that change less over time. They typically have lower returns and may have a lower chance of losing money. Low Low to medium Medium Medium to high High For more information about the risk rating and specific risks that can affect the Fund’s returns, see the “What are the risks of investing in this Fund?” section of the Fund’s simplified prospectus. No guarantees Like most mutual funds, this Fund doesn’t have any guarantees. You may not get back the amount of money you invest. 1 Global Iman Fund, Series A HOW HAS THE FUND PERFORMED? This section tells you how Series A units of the Fund have performed over the past 5 years. Returns are after expenses have been deducted. These expenses reduce the Fund’s returns. Year-by-year returns This chart shows how Series A units of the Fund performed in each of the past 5 years. The Fund dropped in value in 2 of the 5 years. The range of returns and change from year to year can help you assess how risky the Fund has been in the past. It does not tell you how the Fund will perform in the future. 31.49% 30.00% -10.00% 11.44% 5.60% 10.00% -5.31% -1.63% Best and worst 3-month returns This table shows the best and worst returns for Series A units of the Fund in a 3-month period over the past 5 years. The best and worst 3-month returns could be higher or lower in the future. Consider how much of a loss you could afford to take in a short period of time. Return 3 months ending If you invested $1,000 at the beginning of the period Best return 13.35% December 31, 2013 Your investment would rise to $1,134. Worst return -10.47% June 30, 2010 Your investment would drop to $895. Average return The annual compounded return of Series A units of the fund was 10.08% since the inception of the Fund. If you had invested $1,000 in the Fund on March 6, 2009, your investment would now be worth $1,791. WHO IS THE FUND FOR? A WORD ABOUT TAX Investors who are: seeking capital appreciation in a Shari’ah compliant global equity mutual fund; seeking capital appreciation in a fund with an ethical or socially responsible philosophy; have a medium risk tolerance; and have the ability to invest for the medium to long term. Don’t invest in this Fund if you need a steady source of income from your investment. In general, you’ll have to pay income tax on any money you make on a fund. How much you pay depends on the tax laws where you live and whether or not you hold the fund in a registered plan, such as a Registered Retirement Savings Plan or a Tax-Free Savings Account. Keep in mind that if you hold your fund in a non-registered account, fund distributions are included in your taxable income, whether you get them in cash or have them reinvested. HOW MUCH DOES IT COST? The following tables show the fees and expenses you could pay to buy, own and sell Series A units of the Fund. The fees and expenses — including any commissions — can vary among series of the Fund. Higher commissions can influence representatives to recommend one investment over another. Ask about other funds and investments that may be suitable for you at a lower cost. 1. Sales charges You have to choose a sales charge option when you buy the Fund.
