I,
Jane Carten, certify that:
I have reviewed this
report on Form N-CSRS of Saturna Investment Trust;
Based on my knowledge,
this report does not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to
state a material fact necessary to make the statements made, in light of the
circumstances under which such statements were made, not misleading with respect
to the period covered by this report;
Based on my knowledge,
the financial statements, and other financial information included in this
report, fairly present in all material respects the financial condition,
results of operations, changes in net assets, and cash flows (if the financial
statements are required to include a statement of cash flows) of the registrant
as of, and for, the periods presented in this report;
The registrant’s other
certifying officer(s) and I are responsible for establishing and maintaining
disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 30a-3 (c) under the
Investment Company Act of 1940) and internal control over financial reporting
(as defined in Rule 30a-3(d) under the Investment Company Act of 1940) for the
registrant and have:
Designed such
disclosure controls and procedures, or caused such disclosure controls and
procedures to be designed under our supervision, to ensure that material
information relating to the registrant, including its consolidated subsidiaries,
is made known to us by others within those entities, particularly during the
period in which this report is being prepared;
Designed such internal
control over financial reporting, or caused such internal control over
financial reporting to be designed under our supervision, to provide reasonable
assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation
of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally
accepted accounting principles;
Evaluated the effectiveness
of the registrant’s disclosure controls and procedures and presented in this
report our conclusions about the effectiveness of the disclosure controls and
procedures, as of a date within 90 days prior to the filing date of this report
based on such evaluation; and
Disclosed in this
report any change in the registrant’s internal control over financial reporting
that occurred during the period covered by this report that has materially
affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the registrant’s
internal control over financial reporting; and
The registrant’s other
certifying officer(s) and I have disclosed, to the registrant’s auditors and
the audit committee of the registrant’s board of directors (or persons
performing the equivalent functions):
All significant
deficiencies and material weaknesses in the design or operation of internal
controls over financial reporting which are reasonably likely to adversely
affect the registrant’s ability to record, process, summarize, and report
financial information; and
Any fraud, whether or
not material, that involves management or other employees who have a
significant role in the registrant’s internal control over financial reporting.
