Principal Risks of Investing in the Ethical Fund

Although the Adviser makes every effort to achieve the Ethical Fund’s objective, the Adviser cannot guarantee it will attain that objective. You could lose money by investing in the Ethical Fund. The principal risks include:

 

Medium-capitalization stocks held by the Ethical Fund could fall out of favor and returns would subsequently trail returns from the overall stock market. The performance of such stocks also could be more volatile than large-capitalization stocks. Medium-cap companies are more likely to have more limited product lines, fewer capital resources and less depth of management than larger companies.

 

Growth stocks can react differently to issuer, political, market, and economic developments than the market, and other types of stocks. The stocks of such companies can therefore be subject to more abrupt or erratic market movements than stocks of larger, more established companies or the stock market in general.

 

Investing primarily in issuers within the same market capitalization category carries the risk that the category may be out of favor due to current market conditions or investor sentiment. Because the Ethical Fund invests primarily in securities issued by mid-cap companies, it is likely to be more volatile than a fund that focuses on securities issued by large companies. Medium-sized companies typically have less seasoned management, narrower product lines, and fewer capital reserves and liquidity than larger companies.

 

The stock market may fall in value, causing prices of stocks held by the Ethical Fund to fall. Stock prices fluctuate based on changes to a company’s financial condition, on overall market and economic conditions and on investors’ perception of a company’s soundness. Stock markets are volatile and can decline significantly in response to adverse issuer, political, regulatory, market, or economic developments. Different parts of the market, including different market sectors, and different types of securities can react differently to these developments.

 

At times, the Ethical Fund may have a significant portion of its assets invested in securities of companies conducting business in a broadly related group of industries within an economic sector. Individual sectors may be more volatile, and may perform differently, than the broader market. Companies in the same economic sector may be similarly affected by economic or market events, making the Ethical Fund more vulnerable to unfavorable developments in that economic sector than funds that invest more broadly.

 

Investment risks associated with investing in the information technology sector, in addition to other risks, include the intense competition to which information technology companies may be subject; the dramatic and often unpredictable changes in growth rates and competition for qualified personnel among information technology companies; effects on profitability from being heavily dependent on patent and intellectual property rights and the loss or impairment of those rights; obsolescence of existing technology; general economic conditions; and government regulation.

 

Investment risks associated with investing in the industrial sector. Industrial companies are affected by supply and demand both for their specific product or service and for industrial sector products in general. Government regulation, world events, exchange rates and economic conditions, technological developments and liabilities for environmental damage and general civil liabilities will likewise affect the performance of these companies.

 

The Ethical Fund’s ethical investment restrictions do not allow investing in certain businesses, and there are broad limitations upon the types of securities or other instruments in which the Ethical Fund may invest, as well as upon commonly used investment techniques. As a result, the Ethical Fund will not be able to participate in strong performance from those businesses and may not be able to earn income comparable to other funds from non-invested assets.

 

The Ethical Fund is subject to management risk because it is an actively managed portfolio. The Adviser’s management practices and investment strategies might not produce the desired results. The Adviser may be incorrect in its assessment of a stock’s appreciation or depreciation potential.

 

The increasing interconnectivity between global economies and financial markets increases the likelihood that events or conditions in one region or financial market may adversely impact issuers in a different country, region, or financial market. Markets in which the Ethical Fund invests can be volatile and can decline significantly in response to, or investor perceptions of, issuer, market, economic, industry, political, regulatory, geopolitical, environmental, public health, natural disasters, pandemics, epidemics, terrorism, governmental actions, tariffs and trade wars and other conditions. As a result, the Ethical Fund could lose money over short periods due to short-term market movements and over longer periods during more prolonged market downturns.

You should consider investing in the Ethical Fund if you are looking for long-term total return and are willing to accept the associated risks.

Principal Investment Strategy

Principal Risks of Investing in the Wise Fund

Although the Adviser makes every effort to achieve the Wise Fund’s objective of capital preservation and income, the Adviser cannot guarantee it will attain that objective. You could lose money by investing in the Wise Fund. The principal risks include:

 

The Wise Fund invests in fixed-income securities, which are subject to credit risk. Credit risk includes issuer credit risk, which is the risk that payments will not be paid when due in accordance with their terms. Such non-payment or default may reduce the value of the Wise Fund’s portfolio holdings, its share price, and its performance. The counterparty issuing the securities may not be able to pay the securities when due or otherwise fulfill their contractual obligations, which could reduce the value of the Wise Fund’s portfolio holdings, its share price, and its performance.

 

A rise in prevailing interest rates generally will cause the price of a fixed-rate debt security to fall. Generally, the longer the duration or maturity of a security or weighted average maturity of the Wise Fund, the more sensitive its price is to a rise in interest rates. Recent and potential future changes in government monetary policy are likely to affect the level of interest rates.

 

Sukuk involve many of the same risks that conventional bonds incur such as credit and counterparty risk, interest rate, maturity, and investment grade securities risk. In addition to these risks, there are certain risks specific to sukuk. These include various operational risks including default risk, a lack of institutional support, and risks related to the underlying assets. The sukuk markets are in their infancy and most sukuk trading is restricted to the primary markets. Unlike conventional bonds, sukuk tend to be held until maturity; thus, they are traded less frequently compared to conventional bonds.

 

Investments in below investment-grade fixed-income securities may subject the Wise Fund to greater risks than other securities, including being subject to greater levels of interest rate risk, credit risk (including a greater risk of default), and liquidity risk. The ability of the issuer to make payments is predominantly speculative for below investment-grade fixed income securities.

 

The Wise Fund invests in trade finance securities located primarily in or having exposure to global emerging markets. As such, the Wise Fund is subject to all the risks typical to investments generally made in emerging markets. In addition, the Wise Fund is subject to risks specific to the trade finance asset class such as liquidity risk, credit rating risk, and counter-party risk.

 

When the Wise Fund invests in wakala, it will be subject to the credit risk of the bank acting as agent, and the risk that the bank will not manage the investment in a profitable manner.

 

The stock market may fall in value, causing prices of stocks held by the Wise Fund to fall. Stock prices fluctuate based on changes to a company’s financial condition, on overall market and economic conditions and on investors’ perception of a company’s soundness.

 

Individual securities or other holdings in the Wise Fund may not perform as expected, and the Wise Fund’s portfolio management practices may not achieve the desired result.

 

The Wise Fund is subject to management risk because it is an actively managed portfolio. The Adviser’s management practices and investment strategies might not produce the desired results. The Adviser may be incorrect in its assessment of a stock’s appreciation or depreciation potential.

 

Investing in foreign securities involves risks not typically associated with U.S. investments, including, among others, adverse fluctuations in foreign currency values as well as adverse political, social, and economic developments affecting a foreign country, less publicly available information, more volatile or less liquid securities markets, restrictions on receiving the investment proceeds from a foreign country, foreign tax laws, potential difficulties in enforcing contractual obligations, less revealing accounting practices, inadequate or irregular regulation, and more volatile performance. Foreign financial markets may also have fewer investor protections. Foreign companies may also receive less coverage than U.S. companies by market analysts and the financial press. These factors may prevent the Wise Fund and its Adviser from obtaining information concerning foreign companies that is as frequent, extensive, and reliable as the information available concerning companies in the United States. There is also the risk of confiscation, taxation, currency blockage, or political or social instability.

 

Securities that trade or are denominated in currencies other than the U.S. dollar may be adversely affected by fluctuations in currency exchange rates or currency controls imposed by foreign governments. When the U.S. dollar strengthens relative to a foreign currency, the U.S. dollar value of an investment denominated in that currency will typically fall. Investing in currencies or securities denominated in a foreign currency entails risk of being exposed to a currency that may not fully reflect the strengths and weaknesses of the economy of the country or region utilizing the currency. In addition, it is possible that a currency (such as, for example, the euro) could be abandoned in the future by countries that have already adopted its use, and the effects of such an abandonment on the applicable country and the rest of the countries utilizing the currency are uncertain but could negatively affect the Wise Fund’s investments denominated in the currency.

 

The Wise Fund concentrates its investments in the financial services industry. Adverse developments affecting a security in the financial services industry may affect all securities in that industry, and any negative developments affecting that industry will have a greater impact on the Wise Fund than a fund that is not concentrated in that industry. Further, because the Wise Fund’s investments are concentrated in securities issued by a limited number of counterparties, all of which share a single industry, the Wise Fund is even more susceptible to any single negative economic, technological, political, or regulatory occurrence that impacts the financial services industry than funds that are not similarly concentrated.

 

Investments in emerging market securities impose risks different from, or greater than, risks of investing in foreign developed countries including smaller market capitalization; significant price volatility; and restrictions on foreign investment. Emerging market countries may have relatively unstable governments and may present the risk of nationalization of businesses, expropriation, and confiscatory taxation, or, in certain instances, reversion to closed market, centrally planned economies. Emerging market economies may also experience more severe downturns. The currencies of emerging market countries may experience significant declines against the U.S. dollar, and devaluation may occur subsequent to investments in these currencies by the Wise Fund. Inflation and rapid fluctuations in inflation rates have had, and may continue to have, negative effects on the economies and securities markets of certain emerging market countries.

 

The Wise Fund invests a significant portion of its assets in issuers located in, or with economic ties to, a limited number of countries, particularly countries in the Middle East and Southeast Asia, due in part to the relatively small size of the global sukuk market. As a result, the Wise Fund is more susceptible to adverse economic, political, regulatory, or military developments affecting those countries or that region, including armed conflict, than a fund that is more geographically diversified.

 

The Wise Fund’s investment in securities issued by foreign governments and agencies of foreign governments (sovereign debt) differs from debt obligations issued by private entities in that, generally, remedies for defaults must be pursued in the courts of the defaulting party. Legal recourse is therefore limited. The foreign sovereign debt securities the Wise Fund purchases involve specific risks, including that (i) the governmental entity that controls the repayment of sovereign debt may not be willing or able to repay the principal and/or interest when it becomes due because of political constraints, cash flow problems, and other national economic factors; (ii) governments may default on their sovereign debt, which may require holders of such sovereign debt to participate in debt rescheduling or additional lending to defaulting governments; and (iii) there are no bankruptcy proceedings by which defaulted sovereign debt may be collected in whole or in part.

 

The Wise Fund’s ethical investment restrictions will narrow the availability of investment opportunities in which it can invest. It is possible that the restrictions placed on investments may cause the Wise Fund to underperform compared to other funds that do not place such restrictions on their investments.

 

The Wise Fund may invest up to 15% of its net assets in securities considered to be illiquid as defined by the 1940 Act. These can include certificates issued by foreign banks, trade finance, sukuk, and wakala. As a result, if the Wise Fund receives a large amount of redemptions, the Wise Fund may be forced to sell such illiquid investments at a significant loss to be able to meet such redemption requests.

 

The increasing interconnectivity between global economies and financial markets increases the likelihood that events or conditions in one region or financial market may adversely impact issuers in a different country, region, or financial market. Markets in which the Wise Fund invests can be volatile and can decline significantly in response to, or investor perceptions of, issuer, market, economic, industry, political, regulatory, geopolitical, environmental, public health, natural disasters, pandemics, epidemics, terrorism, governmental actions, tariffs and trade wars and other conditions. As a result, the Wise Fund could lose money over short periods due to short-term market movements and over longer periods during more prolonged market downturns.

 

The Wise Fund may, from time to time, invest a certain amount of its assets in the financials sector. The operations and businesses of financial services companies are subject to extensive governmental regulation, the availability and cost of capital funds, and interest rate changes. General market downturns may affect financial services companies adversely.

You should consider investing in the Wise Fund if you are looking for capital preservation and income and are willing to accept the associated risks.

Additional Information About the Funds’
Principal Investment Strategies and Related Risks 

Investment Objective of the Azzad Ethical Fund

Azzad Ethical Fund’s investment objective is to provide shareholders with long-term total returns using means that are consistent with the Adviser’s ethical principles.

The investment objective of the Ethical Fund is non-fundamental and may be changed by the Board without shareholder approval. The Ethical Fund’s policy to, under normal market conditions, invest at least 80% of its assets (defined as net assets plus borrowing for investment purposes) in securities meeting the Ethical Fund’s ethical investment criteria is also non-fundamental and may be changed by the Board without shareholder approval. If the Board decides to change the Ethical Fund’s investment objective or the 80% investment policy, shareholders will be given 60 days’ advance notice.

Principal Investment Strategy of the Azzad Ethical Fund

The Ethical Fund seeks to achieve its objective to provide growth of capital by investing primarily in a diversified portfolio of U.S. mid-capitalization companies and, to a lesser extent, foreign mid-capitalization companies, that common stocks of mid-capitalization companies the Adviser believes are high quality and/or exhibit above-average growth potential. Under normal market conditions, the Ethical Fund invests at least 80% of its assets (defined as net assets plus borrowing for investment purposes) in securities meeting the Ethical Fund’s ethical investment criteria. There is no guarantee, however, that the Ethical Fund will achieve its objective.

For purposes of the Ethical Fund, mid-capitalization companies typically are companies with market capitalizations similar to those of issuers included in the Russell Midcap^® Growth Index (the “Index”) over the last 13 months at the time of purchase. As of September 30, 2026, the Index had a weighted average market capitalization of $45.30 billion and a median market capitalization of $15.00 billion. The largest stock by market cap in the Index was $123.26 billion. Over time, the capitalizations of the companies in the Index will change. As they do, the size of the companies in which the Ethical Fund invests may change. Securities of a company whose capitalization exceeds the mid-capitalization range after purchase will not be sold solely because of the company’s increased capitalization.

In selecting securities for the Ethical Fund, the Adviser employs a systematic process focused on companies included within the Ethical Fund’s designated mid-cap growth universe. From this universe, the Adviser seeks to identify companies that meet defined financial and qualitative criteria. These include measures of profitability, balance-sheet strength, earnings stability, prudent use of leverage, and valuation ratios that the Adviser believes are indicative of durable growth and sound financial management. The Adviser’s screening process seeks to maintain broad representation across the mid-cap growth universe while favoring companies that demonstrate consistent business performance, strong financial discipline, and moderate debt levels.

The Adviser will sell a security if it falls out of compliance with the Ethical Fund’s ethical investment restrictions. The Adviser may also sell securities for a variety of reasons, such as when it no longer adheres to the Adviser’s investment thesis, to secure gains, limit losses, raise cash, or redeploy assets into opportunities believed to be more promising, among others.

If the Adviser’s strategies do not work as intended, the Ethical Fund may not achieve its objective.

To take advantage of market inefficiencies, the Ethical Fund may be actively traded. During these periods, the Ethical Fund may have a higher turnover rate.

Investment Objective of the Azzad Wise Capital Fund

Azzad Wise Capital Fund’s investment objective is to provide shareholders with capital preservation and income.

The investment objective of the Wise Fund is non-fundamental and may be changed by the Board without shareholder approval. If the Board decides to change the Wise Fund’s investment objective, shareholders will be given 60 days’ advance notice.

Principal Investment Strategy of the Azzad Wise Capital Fund

Azzad Wise Capital Fund concentrates its investments in the financial services industry. The Wise Fund invests primarily in U.S. dollar-denominated bank notes and certificates for payment issued by domestic and foreign counterparties in transactions structured to be compliant with the Wise Fund’s ethical investment restrictions. Some of the certificates (called “sukuk”) are asset-based securities that represent ownership or interest in a tangible asset, or the usufruct of an asset. Sukuk grant investors a proportionate beneficial ownership of the underlying asset, along with its associated risks and potential cash flows. Underlying assets may include, without limitation, real estate (developed and undeveloped), infrastructure projects, lease contracts, and machinery and equipment. While the certificate is linked to the returns generated by certain assets of the issuer, the underlying assets are not pledged as security for the certificates, and the Wise Fund (as the investor) is relying on the creditworthiness of the issuer for all payments required by the sukuk. Sukuk certificate holders share the risk of the underlying asset. If the assets on which sukuk are issued do not perform as well as expected, the sukuk investor will bear a share of the loss. Unlike conventional bonds, sukuk do not earn interest payments. Issuers of these certificates are anticipated to be international financial institutions, foreign governments, agencies of foreign governments and global corporations.

Other accounts (called “wakala”) are operated under the Islamic finance principle of wakala, which is an “agency agreement.” In its capacity as an agent, a bank raises funds to invest in various commercial activities from its investors. The bank and its investors both share in the profit and risk of loss of investment in such activities. As agent, the bank is responsible for monitoring the underlying investments to make sure that they will achieve the anticipated profit rate agreed upon in the contract on the maturity date. If the bank makes any profit by the maturity date, the profits are shared with the investors according to a pre-agreed ratio. Conversely, if a loss is made, it is borne by the investors in the absence of gross negligence, fraud or willful default by the bank. Additionally, since wakala are Islamic fixed-income investments, the financial and economic data associated with interest bearing investments similarly affect the yields and returns on wakala.

There is no assurance that the issuers of these fixed income securities will be able to make such payments. Prior to entering into a transaction with a counterparty, the Wise Fund’s sub-adviser, Federated, reviews the counterparty’s credit rating and, if the counterparty is unrated, conducts due diligence on the counterparty’s financial condition and credit history. The Wise Fund anticipates that approximately 80% of the Wise Fund’s fixed income securities will be investment grade at the time of purchase, based upon the credit ratings given by one or more nationally recognized statistical rating organizations (NRSROs). Approximately 20% of the Wise Fund’s fixed income securities may be below investment grade (but not lower than a B rating by Moody’s or equivalent NRSRO). The Wise Fund may also invest in unrated securities (securities that are not rated by a rating agency) if the Wise Fund determines that the securities are of comparable quality to rated securities that the Wise Fund may purchase.

The Wise Fund may also invest in short-term income producing investments, such as money market accounts and certificates of deposit that the Adviser determines are compliant with the Wise Fund’s ethical investment restrictions. Short-term investments are securities that have a remaining maturity of 12 months or less, or that have provisions that permit the Wise Fund to require the issuer to repurchase the security within a period of 12 months or less. Issuers of these short-term investments are anticipated to be banks and other financial institutions.

The Wise Fund may invest up to 10% of its net assets (at the time of purchase) in domestic and international common stocks of any market capitalization, including emerging market securities. The Adviser intends to emphasize dividend-paying stocks issued by companies with strong fundamentals and relatively limited anticipated volatility to supplement its fixed-income holdings.

The Wise Fund may invest no more than 15% or more of its net assets in illiquid securities as defined by the 1940 Act, which may include no more than 15% or more of its net assets in trade finance. Generally, these securities evidence transactions where there is a flow of goods or services (typically of a cross-border nature) and a financing need. These trade finance structures are subject to significant individual variation. The Wise Fund’s trade finance investments are expected to consist primarily of loans, or similar instruments used to finance international trade and related infrastructure projects. These are expected to include, but not be limited to, facilities for pre-export finance, process and commodities finance, receivables financing, letters of credit and other documentary credits, promissory notes, bills of exchange and other negotiable instruments. The Wise Fund may engage in such investments by way of purchase, assignment, participation, guarantee, insurance or any other appropriate financial instrument.

The Wise Fund anticipates that the maturity of the securities in the portfolio will range from one to fifteen years and that the average duration of the portfolio will range from one to three years.

Federated directs the investment of most of the Wise Fund’s assets, furnishing investment information, advice and recommendations to the Wise Fund as to the acquisition, holding or disposition of securities or other assets that the Wise Fund may own or contemplate acquiring from time to time. Federated and the Adviser have retained Federated Hermes UK, an affiliate of Federated, to provide assistance in carrying out Federated’s duties as the Wise Fund’s sub-adviser. The Adviser will oversee each of Federated and Federated Hermes UK and will be responsible for the day-to-day portfolio management of the Wise Fund related to the dividend-yielding equity portion of the Wise Fund’s portfolio and for ensuring that the Wise Fund’s holdings and portfolio management comply with its ethical investment restrictions.

Ethical Investment Restrictions

The Ethical Fund and Wise Fund (each a “Fund” or collectively, the “Funds”) do not invest in corporations that derive substantial revenue (defined as more than 5% of total revenue) from alcohol, tobacco, pornography, pork, gambling, conventional financial services, including insurance, or weapons industries, as determined by the Adviser.

The Funds will not invest in securities or other instruments that derive revenue from the receipt of interest from lending arrangements, preferred stocks and convertible securities or other instruments that pay interest from lending, or from the receipt of gains from futures contracts, trading debt or trades that involve exchanging the same kind of monetary instruments (such as the same type of currency). The Funds will, however, be able to invest in instruments that provide a fixed rate of return in transactions that are structured to be compliant with the Funds’ ethical investment restrictions.

Principal Risks of Investing in the Funds

Although the Adviser makes every effort to achieve each Fund’s objective, the Adviser cannot guarantee it will attain those objectives. You could lose money by investing in the Funds.

The principal risks of investing in the Funds include:

The stock market may fall in value, causing prices of stocks held by the Funds to fall. Stock prices fluctuate based on changes to a company’s financial condition, on overall market and economic conditions and on investors’ perception of a company’s soundness. Stock markets are volatile and can decline significantly in response to adverse issuer, political, regulatory, market, or economic developments. Different parts of the market, including different market sectors, and different types of securities can react differently to these developments.

The Funds’ ethical investment restrictions do not allow investing in certain businesses, and there are broad limitations upon the types of securities or other instruments in which the Funds may invest, as well as upon commonly used investment techniques. As a result, the Funds will not be able to participate in strong performance from those businesses and may not be able to earn income comparable to other funds from non-invested assets.

The Funds are subject to management risk because they are actively managed portfolios. The Adviser’s management practices and investment strategies might not produce the desired results. The Adviser may be incorrect in its assessment of a stock’s appreciation or depreciation potential.

The increasing interconnectivity between global economies and financial markets increases the likelihood that events or conditions in one region or financial market may adversely impact issuers in a different country, region or financial market. Securities in the Funds’ portfolios may underperform due to inflation (or expectations for inflation), or investor perceptions of, issuer, market, economic, industry, political, regulatory, geopolitical, environmental, public health, natural disasters, pandemics, epidemics, terrorism, governmental actions, tariffs and trade wars and other conditions. The occurrence of global events similar to those in recent years, such as terrorist attacks around the world, pandemics, natural disasters, social and political discord or debt crises and downgrades, among others, may result in market volatility and may have long-term effects on both the U.S. and global financial markets. It is difficult to predict when similar events affecting the U.S. or global financial markets may occur, the effects that such events may have and the duration of those effects. Any such event(s) could have a significant adverse impact on the value and risk profile of the Funds’ portfolios. Therefore, the Funds could lose money over short periods due to short-term market movements and over longer periods during more prolonged market downturns. During a general market downturn, multiple asset classes may be negatively affected. Changes in market conditions and interest rates can have the same impact on all types of securities and instruments. In times of severe market disruptions, you could lose your entire investment.

In addition to the above risks, the following are principal risks of investing in the Ethical Fund:

Medium-capitalization stocks held by the Ethical Fund could fall out of favor and returns would subsequently trail returns from the overall stock market. The performance of such stocks also could be more volatile than large capitalization stocks. Medium-cap companies are more likely to have more limited product lines, fewer capital resources, and less depth of management than larger companies.

Growth stocks can react differently to issuer, political, market, and economic developments than the overall market and other types of stocks. Growth stocks also tend to be more expensive relative to their earnings or assets compared to other types of stocks. As a result, growth stocks tend to be sensitive to changes in their earnings and more volatile in price than the overall stock market. In addition, companies that the Adviser believes have significant growth potential are often companies with new, limited or cyclical product lines, markets or financial resources and the management of such companies may be dependent upon one or a few key people. The stocks of such companies can therefore be subject to more abrupt or erratic market movements than stocks of larger, more established companies or the stock market in general.

Investing primarily in issuers within the same market capitalization category carries the risk that the category may be out of favor due to current market conditions or investor sentiment. Because the Ethical Fund invests primarily in securities issued by mid-cap companies, it is likely to be more volatile than a fund that focuses on securities issued by large companies. Medium-sized companies typically have less seasoned management, narrower product lines, and fewer capital reserves and liquidity than larger companies.

At times, the Ethical Fund may have a significant portion of its assets invested in securities of companies conducting business in a broadly related group of industries within an economic sector. Individual sectors may be more volatile, and may perform differently, than the broader market. Companies in the same economic sector may be similarly affected by economic or market events, making the Ethical Fund more vulnerable to unfavorable developments in that economic sector than funds that invest more broadly.

Investment risks associated with investing in the information technology sector, in addition to other risks, include the intense competition to which information technology companies may be subject; the dramatic and often unpredictable changes in growth rates and competition for qualified personnel among information technology companies; effects on profitability from being heavily dependent on patent and intellectual property rights and the loss or impairment of those rights; obsolescence of existing technology; general economic conditions; and government regulation.

Investment risks associated with investing in the industrial sector. Industrial companies are affected by supply and demand both for their specific product or service and for industrial sector products in general. Government regulation, world events, exchange rates and economic conditions, technological developments and liabilities for environmental damage and general civil liabilities will likewise affect the performance of these companies.

In addition to the above risks, the following are principal risks of investing in the Wise Fund:

Because the Wise Fund may invest in foreign stocks, it may also be subject to foreign investing risk. Foreign investing involves risks not typically associated with U.S. investments. These risks include, among others, adverse fluctuations in foreign currency values as well as adverse political, social and economic developments affecting a foreign country. In addition, foreign financial markets may also have fewer investor protections and more volatile or less liquid securities markets. Foreign investing involves less publicly available information. Foreign companies may receive less coverage than US companies by market analysts and the financial press. These factors may prevent the Wise Fund and the Adviser from obtaining information concerning foreign companies that is as frequent, extensive and reliable as the information available concerning companies in the United States. Investments in foreign countries could be affected by factors not present in the U.S., such as restrictions on receiving the investment proceeds from a foreign country, foreign tax laws, and potential difficulties in enforcing contractual obligations. There is also the risk of confiscation, taxation, currency blockage or political or social instability. Foreign accounting may be less revealing than American accounting practices. Foreign regulation may be inadequate or irregular. Owning foreign securities could cause the Wise Fund’s performance to fluctuate more than if it held only U.S. securities.

Securities that trade or are denominated in currencies other than the U.S. dollar may be adversely affected by fluctuations in currency exchange rates and currency controls imposed by foreign governments. When the U.S. dollar strengthens relative to a foreign currency, the U.S. dollar value of an investment denominated in that currency will typically fall. Investing in currencies or securities denominated in a foreign currency entails risk of being exposed to a currency that may not fully reflect the strengths and weaknesses of the economy of the country or region utilizing the currency. In addition, it is possible that a currency (such as for example, the euro) could be abandoned in the future by countries that have already adopted its use, and the effects of such an abandonment on the applicable country and the rest of the countries utilizing the currency are uncertain but could negatively affect the Wise Fund’s investments denominated in the currency.

The Wise Fund invests in certificates, notes and other securities, which are subject to credit risk. Credit risk includes issuer credit risk, which is the risk that payments will not be paid when due in accordance with their terms. Such non-payment or default may reduce the value of the Wise Fund’s portfolio holdings, its share price and its performance. The counterparty issuing the securities may not be able to pay the securities when due, which could result in a loss to the Wise Fund. Further, because the Wise Fund’s investments are concentrated in securities issued by a limited number of counterparties, all of which share a single economic sector, the Wise Fund is even more susceptible to losses resulting from a particular counterparty’s inability to pay a security when due and from changes in economic conditions that impact all of the counterparties in that sector.

Investments in below investment grade fixed income securities may subject the Wise Fund to greater risks than other securities, including being subject to greater levels of interest rate risk, credit risk (including a greater risk of default) and liquidity risk. The ability of the issuer to make payments is predominantly speculative for below investment-grade fixed income securities. Approximately 20% of the Wise Fund’s fixed income securities may be below investment grade (but not lower than a B rating by Moody’s or equivalent NRSRO). The Wise Fund may also invest in unrated securities (securities that are not rated by a rating agency) if the Wise Fund determines that the securities are of comparable quality to rated securities that the Wise Fund may purchase. Generally, the lower the credit rating of a security, the greater the risk that the issuer will default on its obligation, which could result in a loss to the Wise Fund. Issuers of securities with lower investment grade categories are more vulnerable to changes in economic conditions than issuers of higher-grade securities.

The Wise Fund’s investments in emerging market securities impose risks different from, or greater than, risks of investing in foreign developed countries. These risks include: smaller market capitalization of securities markets, which may suffer periods of relative illiquidity; significant price volatility; and restrictions on foreign investment. Emerging market countries may have relatively unstable governments and may present the risk of nationalization of businesses, expropriation, and confiscatory taxation or, in certain instances, reversion to closed market, centrally planned economies. Emerging market economies may also experience more severe downturns. In addition, foreign investors may be required to register or pay taxes or tariffs on the proceeds of securities sales; future economic or political crises could lead to price controls, forced mergers, expropriation or confiscatory taxation, seizure, nationalization, or creation of government monopolies. The currencies of emerging market countries may experience significant declines against the U.S. dollar, and devaluation may occur subsequent to investments in these currencies by the Wise Fund. Inflation and rapid fluctuations in inflation rates have had, and may continue to have, negative effects on the economies and securities markets of certain emerging market countries.

Additional risks of emerging markets securities may include greater social, economic and political uncertainty and instability; more substantial governmental involvement in the economy; less governmental supervision and regulation; unavailability of currency hedging techniques; companies that are newly organized and small; differences in auditing and financial reporting standards, which may result in unavailability of material information about issuers; and less developed legal systems. In addition, emerging securities markets may have different clearance and settlement procedures, which may be unable to keep pace with the volume of securities transactions or otherwise make it difficult to engage in such transactions. Settlement problems may cause the Wise Fund to miss attractive investment opportunities, hold a portion of its assets in cash pending investment, or be delayed in disposing of a portfolio security. Such a delay could result in possible liability to a purchaser of the security.

The Wise Fund concentrates its investments in the financial services industry. Adverse developments affecting a security in the financial services industry may affect all securities in that industry, and any negative developments affecting that industry will have a greater impact on the Wise Fund than a fund that is not concentrated in that industry. Further, because the Wise Fund’s investments are concentrated in securities issued by a limited number of counterparties, all of which may share a single industry, the Wise Fund is even more susceptible to any single negative economic, technological, political, or regulatory occurrence that impacts the financial services industry.

The Wise Fund invests a significant portion of its assets in issuers located in, or with economic ties to, a limited number of countries, particularly countries in the Middle East and Southeast Asia, due in part to the relatively small size of the global sukuk market. As a result, the Wise Fund is more susceptible to adverse economic, political, regulatory, or military developments affecting those countries or that region, including armed conflict, than a fund that is more geographically diversified. Many of these economies depend heavily on petroleum exports, and a sustained decline in oil and natural gas prices, or political instability and unrest in the region, could adversely affect the Wise Fund’s investments.

The Wise Fund’s investment in securities issued by foreign governments and agencies of foreign governments (sovereign debt) differs from debt obligations issued by private entities in that, generally, remedies for defaults must be pursued in the courts of the defaulting party. Legal recourse is therefore limited. The foreign sovereign debt securities the Wise Fund purchases involve specific risks including that (i) the governmental entity that controls the repayment of sovereign debt may not be willing or able to repay the principal and/or interest when it becomes due because of political constraints, cash flow problems and other national economic factors; (ii) governments may default on their sovereign debt, which may require holders of such sovereign debt to participate in debt rescheduling or additional lending to defaulting governments; and (iii) there are no bankruptcy proceedings by which defaulted sovereign debt may be collected in whole or in part.

A country whose exports are concentrated in a few commodities could be vulnerable to a decline in the international price of such commodities. Another factor bearing on the ability of a country to repay sovereign debt is the level of the country’s international reserves. Fluctuations in the level of these reserves can affect the amount of foreign exchange readily available for external debt payments and, thus, could have a bearing on the capacity of the country to make payments on its sovereign debt. Also, there can be no assurance that the holders of commercial bank loans to the same sovereign entity may not contest payments to the holders of sovereign debt in the event of default under commercial bank loan agreements.

The Wise Fund intends to invest in certain instruments that may be illiquid. As a result, if the Wise Fund receives a large amount of redemptions, the Wise Fund may be forced to sell such illiquid investments at a significant loss to be able to meet such redemption requests.

The Wise Fund invests in trade finance securities located primarily in or having exposure to global emerging markets. As such, the Wise Fund is subject to all the risks typical to investments generally made in emerging markets. In addition, the Wise Fund is subject to risks specific to the trade finance asset class such as liquidity risk, credit rating risk, and counterparty risk.

Sukuk involve many of the same risks that conventional bonds incur such as: credit and counterparty risk, interest rate, maturity, and investment grade securities risk. In addition to these risks, there are certain risks specific to sukuk. These include various operational risks including default risk, a lack of institutional support and risks related to the underlying assets. The sukuk markets are in their infancy with limited issuers. Unlike conventional bonds, sukuk tend to be held until maturity; thus, they are traded less frequently compared to conventional bonds.

When the Wise Fund invests in wakala it will be subject to the credit risk of the bank acting as agent, and the risk that the bank will not manage the investment in a profitable manner.

Certificates of deposit, banknotes and short-term money market instruments in which the Wise Fund invests can fluctuate in value. Like other fixed income securities, they are subject to risk, including market and credit risk. They also may be subject to counterparty risk, which is the risk that the other parties to an agreement or a participant in a transaction, such as a bank, might default on a contract or fail to perform by failing to pay amounts due or failing to fulfill the obligations of the contract or transaction. This could reduce the value of the Wise Fund’s portfolio holdings, its share price, and its performance. To the extent that the Wise Fund’s assets are deposited into short-term money market instruments, it will be more difficult for the Wise Fund to achieve its objective.

The Wise Fund attempts to manage interest rate risk through its management of the average duration of the securities it holds in its portfolio. Duration is a mathematical concept that measures a portfolio’s exposure to interest rate risk. For example, the price of a portfolio with a duration of five years would be expected to fall approximately five percent if interest rates rose by one percentage point and a portfolio with a duration of two years would be expected to fall approximately two percent if interest rates rose by one percentage point. The Wise Fund expects to maintain its average duration range within one to three years.

The Wise Fund may, from time to time, invest a certain amount of its assets in the financials sector. The operations and businesses of financial services companies are subject to extensive governmental regulation, the availability and cost of capital funds, and interest rate changes. General market downturns may affect financial services companies adversely.

Portfolio Holdings Disclosure Policies

A description of the Funds’ policies regarding disclosure of the securities in the Funds’ portfolios is found in the SAI.

Temporary Defensive Positions

During uncertain market, economic, political, or other unfavorable conditions, the Funds may adopt a temporary defensive position. Under these circumstances, the Funds may hold up to 100% of their assets in non-interest-bearing cash accounts. The Funds will not invest in interest-paying instruments frequently used by other mutual funds for this purpose. During these periods, the Funds may not achieve their investment objectives.

Management, Organization & Capital Structure 

The Investment Adviser

Azzad Asset Management, Inc., 3141 Fairview Park Drive, Suite 355, Falls Church, VA 22042, serves as investment adviser to the Funds. The Adviser is a privately held corporation that is registered as an investment adviser under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, as amended, with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). The Adviser was incorporated in the State of Delaware on June 9, 2000. The Adviser was initially formed as Zad Asset Management, LLC in the State of Virginia on August 4, 1997, and was converted into a corporation under Delaware law in June 2000 under the current name.

Under the advisory agreements with the Azzad Funds (the “Trust”), the Adviser earns an annual management fee equal to 0.80% of the average daily net assets for each Fund. The Wise Fund’s sub-advisory fee is paid out of the annual management fee that the Adviser receives, not by the Wise Fund. The Adviser has agreed to contractually waive all or a portion of its fees and/or reimburse each Fund for certain operating expenses, to the extent necessary to limit each Fund’s net annual operating expenses (excluding brokerage costs; borrowing costs including without limitation dividends on securities sold short; taxes; indirect expenses, such as expenses incurred by other investment companies in which such Fund invests; and litigation and other extraordinary expenses) to 0.99% and 0.89% of average daily net assets of the Ethical Fund and the Wise Fund, respectively, until at least December 1, 2029. These fee waivers and expense reimbursements are subject to possible recoupment from each respective Fund within three years from the date on which the expenses were incurred, if such recoupment can be achieved within the lesser of the expense limits that were in place at the time of the waiver or reimbursement and the expense limits in place at the time of recoupment. These agreements may be terminated only by the Board.

For the fiscal year ended June 30, 2026, the Adviser earned 0.80% (before waivers) for services to the Ethical Fund and 0.62% (after waivers). For its services to the Wise Fund, for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2026, the Adviser earned 0.80% (before waivers) and 0.71% (after waivers).

A discussion regarding the basis for the Board’s most recent renewal of the Funds’ investment advisory agreements with the Adviser is available in the Funds’ annual Form N-CSR for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2026.

Manager of Managers Structure

The Adviser, on behalf of itself and on behalf of the Funds and other funds that the Adviser may advise in the future, was granted an exemptive order (the “Order”, Investment Company Act Release No. 34261, April 30, 2021) from the SEC that permits the Adviser, with the Board’s approval, to enter into, replace, or amend sub-advisory agreements with sub-advisers without obtaining shareholder approval. The Adviser has the ultimate responsibility, subject to oversight by the Board, to oversee the sub-advisers and recommend their hiring, termination, and replacement, in reliance on the Order. Shareholders will be notified within 90 days of the engagement of any different or additional sub-adviser or sub-advisers to manage the Funds’ portfolio. The Order also allows the Funds, in accordance with certain conditions, to disclose only Adviser compensation without disclosing the sub-adviser fee rate.

At a special meeting of the shareholders held on December 28, 2020, shareholders of the Ethical Fund and Wise Fund approved the use of the Order.

Distributor

Paralel Distributors, LLC (the “Distributor”) is the principal underwriter and distributor of the Shares and serves as the Funds’ exclusive agent for the distribution of the Shares. The Distributor may sell the Shares to or through qualified securities dealers or others.

Distribution Plan

The Funds have adopted a Distribution Plan (the “Plan”) pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act. Under the Plan, the Funds are authorized to reimburse any entity that provides services in connection with the sales and promotion of the shares, including its expenses in connection therewith. The maximum annual reimbursement under the Plan is 0.15% of the Ethical Fund’s average daily net assets and 0.05% of Wise Fund’s average daily net assets. Because these fees are paid out of a Fund’s assets on an on-going basis, over time, these fees will increase the cost of your investment in Shares and may cost you more than paying other types of sales charges. Fees paid under the Plan may not be waived for individual shareholders.

In addition to paying fees under the Plan, the Funds may pay service fees to intermediaries such as banks, broker-dealers, financial advisers or other financial institutions, for various shareholder services associated with shareholders whose shares are held of record in omnibus, other group accounts or accounts traded through registered securities clearing agents.

Shareholder servicing agents and broker-dealers may charge investors a fee for use of specialized purchase and redemption procedures offered to investors by the shareholder servicing agents and broker-dealers. In addition, shareholder servicing agents and broker-dealers offering purchase and redemption procedures like those offered to shareholders who invest in a Fund directly may impose charges, limitations, minimums and restrictions in addition to or different from those applicable to shareholders who invest in a Fund directly. Accordingly, the net return to investors who invest through shareholder servicing agents and broker-dealers may be less than by investing in a Fund directly. An investor should read the Prospectus in conjunction with the materials provided by the shareholder servicing agent and broker-dealer describing the procedures under which Shares may be purchased and redeemed through the shareholder servicing agent and broker-dealer.

Custodian, Transfer & Dividend Disbursing Agents

Argent Institutional Trust Company (the “Custodian”), 4343 Easton Commons, Suite 120, Columbus, OH 43219, serves as custodian for the Funds’ cash and securities. The Custodian does not assist in, and is not responsible for, investment decisions involving assets of the Funds. The Custodian does maintain certain financial and accounting books and records pursuant to an agreement with the Funds.

Shareholder inquiries relating to a shareholder account should be directed by writing to Azzad Funds c/o Nottingham Shareholder Services, LLC, 116 S. Franklin Street, Rocky Mount, NC 27804, or by telephoning Azzad Funds (toll-free) at 888-350-3369, Monday through Friday (except holidays), between the hours of 9:00 A.M. and 5:00 P.M., Eastern Time.

Organization

Each Fund is a series of the Trust, a Massachusetts business trust that is registered with the SEC as an open-end, management investment company. It is not intended that meetings of the Funds’ shareholders be held except when required by Federal or Massachusetts state law. All shareholders of the Funds are entitled to vote at shareholders’ meetings. From time to time, large shareholders may control the Funds.

At What Price Are Shares Sold?

Shares are sold at their offering price, which is the NAV without any sales charge. The offering price that applies to a purchase order is based on the next calculation of the NAV per share that is made after a Fund receives the purchase order. The NAV of a Fund may fluctuate.

How is Your Share Price (NAV) Determined?

The NAV of shares of a Fund is determined normally at 4:00 p.m. Eastern Time, on each day that the NYSE is open for trading (referred to in this Prospectus as a “regular business day”). The NAV per share is determined by dividing the value of a Fund’s net assets by the number of shares that are outstanding.

A Fund’s securities are valued based on market quotations, if available. If market quotations are not readily available, securities are valued at fair value as determined in good faith by the Adviser, in its capacity as the Board’s valuation designee, pursuant to Rule 2a-5 under the 1940 Act. As a general matter, fair value represents the amount that a Fund could reasonably expect to receive if such Fund’s investment in the security were sold at the time of valuation. The valuation designee will value a Fund’s assets at their fair value according to policies approved by, and subject to supervision by, the Board. The Adviser may utilize its valuation committee and third parties to assist the Adviser in its capacity as valuation designee, based upon information available at the time the valuation is made that the Adviser believes to be reliable.

It is not anticipated that market quotations will be available for some of the securities in which the Wise Fund invests. Accordingly, the valuation designee will need to price the securities using the Trust’s fair value pricing guidelines. In accordance with the Trust’s good faith pricing guidelines, the valuation designee is required to consider all appropriate factors relevant to the value of securities for which it has determined other pricing sources are not available or reliable as described above. No single standard for determining fair value controls, since fair value depends upon the circumstances of each individual case. As a general principle, the fair value of securities is intended to be the amount which the owner might reasonably expect to receive for them upon their current sale. However, as the fair valuation of securities will be based upon its analysis of factors it considers relevant, the fair value price may differ from the price that would be received if the securities were sold. If the fair value price differs, a shareholder may receive more or less proceeds or shares from redemptions and purchases of Shares than if the securities were priced at the price that would be received upon their current sale. Similarly, the performance of a Fund may be affected. A Fund also may not be able to receive a security’s fair value if the Fund should sell the security. The valuation designee reviews its own fair value decisions and reports to the Board on all fair valuation decisions that are made. The Board reviews all valuation decisions made by the valuation designee and evaluates whether the valuation committee is adhering to the Funds’ Procedures and whether the Procedures continue to be appropriate for the Funds.

Securities with remaining maturities of 60 days or less are generally fair valued at amortized cost, as the Board believes that this method of valuing short-term investments approximates market value.

Shares are not priced on the days when the NYSE trading is closed. A Fund’s NAV may be calculated earlier, however, if trading on the NYSE is restricted or as permitted by the SEC. Your order (redemption or purchase) will be priced at the next NAV calculated after the Fund receives your order.

If a security or securities that a Fund owns are traded when the NYSE is closed (for example, on a foreign exchange or in an after-hours market) the value of a Fund’s assets may be affected on days when a Fund is not open for business. In addition, trading in some of a Fund’s portfolio holdings may not occur on days when a Fund is open for business. In addition, a Fund may not make any purchases or sales of securities on some days when a Fund is open for business.

If you do not provide this information, we may not be able to open your account. If we are unable to verify your identity, we reserve the right to close your account. We also reserve the right to close your account for other lawful reasons including but not limited to reasonable suspicion of money laundering, fraud, terrorism or other illegal activity relating to the account.

The Funds have authorized one or more brokers to receive on their behalf purchase and redemption orders, and such brokers are authorized to designate other intermediaries to receive purchase and redemption orders on the Funds’ behalf. The Funds will be deemed to have received a purchase or redemption order when an authorized broker or, if applicable, a broker’s authorized designee, receives the order. Investor orders will be priced at the respective Fund’s NAV next computed after they are received by an authorized broker or the broker’s authorized designee. Investors may be charged a fee if they effect transactions through a broker or agent.

How to Sell Your Shares

You may request to sell all or a portion of your shares at any time at the NAV per share next determined after the transfer agent receives your redemption request in proper form. To be in proper form, the following conditions must be satisfied:

If your redemption request is received prior to close of trading on the NYSE (normally 4:00 p.m. Eastern Time), your redemption will be priced the same day. Any redemption request received after that time will be priced the next business day.

BY MAIL: Your request must include:

a) Original signatures of each registered owner exactly as the shares are registered; 

b) A Fund’s name and the account number; 

c) The number of shares or dollar amount to be sold; and 

d) Any additional documents that may be required for redemption by corporations, partnerships, trusts or other entities.

Send your written request for redemption to:

BY TELEPHONE: Redemptions by telephone can be made by calling 888-350-3369. If you do not wish to allow telephone redemptions by any person on the account, you should decline that option on the account application.

This feature can only be used on non-institutional accounts if:

Regarding telephone redemptions, neither the Funds nor the transfer agent will be responsible for acting upon any instructions reasonably believed by them to be genuine. The Funds and/or the transfer agent will, however, employ reasonable procedures to confirm that instructions communicated by telephone are genuine (including requiring some form of personal identification, providing written confirmations, and tape-recording conversations); and if the Funds or the transfer agent does not employ reasonable procedures, it may be liable for losses due to unauthorized or fraudulent transactions. Shareholders should be aware that they may have trouble effecting telephone redemptions during times of a market downturn or other emergency.

SPECIAL REDEMPTION ARRANGEMENTS

Special arrangements may be made by institutional investors, or on behalf of accounts established by brokers, advisers, banks or similar institutions, to have redemption proceeds transferred by wire to pre-established accounts upon telephone instructions. For further information, call the Funds at 888-350-3369.

SIGNATURE GUARANTEE

Redemptions of more than $50,000 currently require a signature guarantee. A signature guarantee verifies the authenticity of your signature, and the guarantor must be an eligible guarantor. To be eligible, the guarantor must be a participant in a STAMP program (a Securities Transfer Agents Medallion Program). You may call the Funds at 888-350-3369 to determine whether the guarantor is eligible.

The Funds typically expect that it will take up to seven days following the receipt of your redemption request in proper form to pay out redemption proceeds by check or electronic transfer. The Funds typically expect to pay redemptions from cash, cash equivalents, proceeds from the sale of the applicable Shares, any lines of credit, and then from the sale of portfolio securities. These redemption payment methods will be used in regular and stressed market conditions.

REDEMPTION PROCEEDS MAY BE SENT TO YOU:

BY MAIL: If your redemption check is mailed, it is usually mailed within 48 hours of receipt of the redemption request in proper form; however, the Funds have up to seven days to mail your redemption proceeds. If the shares to be redeemed were purchased by check, the redemption proceeds will not be mailed until the purchase check has cleared, which may take up to 15 days from the purchase date. You may avoid this requirement by investing by bank wire (federal funds). Please notify the Funds promptly in writing of any change of address.

BY WIRE: You may authorize the Funds to transmit redemption proceeds by wire provided you send written instructions with a signature guarantee at the time of redemption. Proceeds from your redemption will usually be transmitted on the first business day following receipt of a redemption request in proper form. However, the Funds may hold redemption proceeds for up to seven days. If the shares to be redeemed were purchased by check, the redemption proceeds will not be wired until the purchase check has cleared, which may take up to 15 days from the purchase date. A wire fee of up to $20 will be charged by the Funds, which is deducted from your redemption proceeds.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION ABOUT REDEMPTIONS

Market Timing

The Funds are intended for long-term investors and do not accommodate frequent transactions. To minimize harm to the Funds and their shareholders, the Funds reserve the right to reject any purchase order or exchange request, in whole or in part, for any reason and without prior notice. The Funds may decide to restrict purchase and sale activity in its shares based on various factors, including whether frequent purchase and sale activity will disrupt portfolio management strategies and adversely affect the Funds’ performance.

Due to the complexity and subjectivity involved in identifying abusive trading activity, there can be no assurance that the Funds’ efforts will identify all trades or trading practices that may be considered abusive. In addition, the Funds’ ability to monitor trades that are placed by individual shareholders within group or omnibus accounts maintained by financial intermediaries is severely limited because the Funds do not generally have access to the underlying shareholder account information. The Funds will work with financial intermediaries as necessary to discourage shareholders from engaging in abusive trading practices and to impose restrictions on excessive trading. There may be limitations on the ability of financial intermediaries to impose restrictions on the trading practices of their clients. As a result, the Funds’ ability to monitor and discourage abusive trading practices in omnibus accounts may be limited. However, the Funds have entered into agreements with financial intermediaries that require the intermediary to provide individual shareholder information for shareholders holding shares in omnibus accounts.

MANDATORY REDEMPTIONS

To reduce expenses, the Funds may redeem all of the shares in any shareholder account, other than an active automatic investment plan, UGMA/UTMA and retirement plan account, if, for a period of more than three months, the account has a net value of $500 or less and the reduction in value is not due to market action. If a Fund elects to close such accounts, it will notify shareholders whose accounts are below the minimum of its intention to do so and will provide those shareholders with an opportunity to increase their accounts by investing a sufficient amount to bring their accounts up to the minimum amount within ninety (90) days of the notice. No account-closing fee will be charged to investors whose accounts are closed under the mandatory redemption provision.

How to Exchange Your Shares

As a Fund shareholder, you may exchange your shares of any Fund for shares of any other Fund, subject to the minimum investment requirement of the Fund. The exchange is treated as a redemption and purchase for tax purposes and any gain on such transaction may be subject to federal income tax. You may request the exchange by contacting the Fund at the phone number or address provided in the “By Telephone” and “By Mail” sections above.

It is your responsibility to obtain and read the prospectus of the Fund you are exchanging your shares for before you make an exchange. In addition:

No exchange will be accepted unless the registration of the two accounts is identical. Neither the Funds nor the Funds’ transfer agent are liable for following exchange instructions communicated by telephone that they reasonably believe to be genuine. However, if they do not employ reasonable procedures to confirm that telephone instructions are genuine, the Funds’ transfer agent may be liable for any losses due to unauthorized or fraudulent instructions. Procedures employed may include recording telephone instructions and requiring a form of personal identification from the caller.

Taxes, Dividend, and Distribution

Taxation of the Funds

Your investment will have tax consequences that you should consider. Some of the more common federal tax consequences are described here, but you should consult your tax consultant about your situation. Although it is not an investment objective, the Adviser will attempt to consider the tax consequences of its investment decisions. However, there may be occasions when the Adviser’s investment decisions will result in a negative tax consequence for the Funds’ shareholders.

TAXES ON DISTRIBUTIONS. Each Fund qualifies as a regulated investment company under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code so that it will not be liable for federal income tax. Distributions of net investment income or short-term capital gain are taxable to you as ordinary income. Distributions of long-term capital gain are taxable to you as long-term capital gain, regardless of how long you have held your shares. Distributions may also be subject to state and local taxes.

The Funds will mail reports to you containing information about the Funds’ distributions during the year after December 31 of each year (by January 31st). Consult your tax adviser about the Federal, state, and local tax consequences of your particular circumstances.

TAXES ON REDEMPTIONS OF SHARES. The sale of a Share is a taxable transaction for Federal income tax purposes. Your taxable gain or loss is computed by subtracting your tax basis in the shares from the redemption proceeds. Because your tax basis depends on the original purchase price and on the price at which any dividends may have been reinvested, you should keep your account statement so that you or your tax professional will be able to determine whether a sale will result in a taxable gain or loss.

“BUYING A DIVIDEND” All distributions reduce the NAV of a Share by the amount of the distribution. If a shareholder purchases Shares after a Fund has realized but not yet distributed income or capital gains, the purchase price may include the amount of the upcoming distribution, and the shareholder may pay full price for the Shares and later receive a portion of the purchase price back as a taxable distribution. In such case, the shareholder will be taxed upon receipt of such distribution, even though the distribution effectively represents a return of a portion of the purchase price. This is known as “buying a dividend.” Unless your investment is in a tax-deferred account, you may wish to avoid buying Shares shortly before a distribution.

TAX WITHHOLDING. The Funds may be required to withhold U.S. federal income tax from all taxable distributions and from proceeds from certain sales payable to shareholders who fail to provide the Funds with their correct taxpayer identification numbers or to make required certifications, or who have been notified by the IRS that they are subject to backup withholding. Any such withheld amounts may be credited against the shareholder’s U.S. federal income tax liability.

Distributions

As a shareholder, you are entitled to your share of a Fund’s net income and capital gains on its investments. A Fund passes substantially all its earnings along to its investors as distributions. When a Fund earns dividends from stocks and distributes these earnings to shareholders, it is called a dividend distribution. A Fund realizes capital gains when it sells securities for a higher price than it paid. When net long-term capital gains are distributed to shareholders, it is called a capital gain distribution. Net short-term capital gains are considered ordinary income and are included in dividend distributions.

LONG-TERM VS. SHORT-TERM CAPITAL GAINS:

The Funds distribute capital gains, if any, annually. The Wise Fund distributes dividends, if any, monthly and the Ethical Fund distributes dividends, if any, annually. This policy is subject to change at any time. All distributions are reinvested in additional shares, unless you elect to receive distributions in cash. For Federal income tax purposes, distributions are treated the same whether they are received in cash or reinvested. Shares become entitled to receive distributions on the day after the shares are issued.

If you have elected to receive distributions in cash, and the postal or other delivery service returns your check to the Funds as undeliverable, you will not receive interest on amounts represented by the uncashed checks.

Shareholder Services

Online Account Access

Online account access is a password-protected area of the Funds’ website that gives you access to your account information in a secure internet environment. To obtain additional information about accessing your account online, call toll free 888-350-3369.

Automatic Investment Plan

Automatic investment plans are available for your convenience to purchase shares without having to manually initiate each transaction. Automatic investment plans allow you to purchase Shares by having specified amounts automatically deducted from your bank account and invested in a Fund monthly. To establish this service for your account, you may contact the Funds toll free at 888-350-3369 between the hours of 9:00 A.M. and 5:00 P.M., Eastern Time. This service may take up to four weeks to begin. Also, due to the varying procedures to prepare, process, and forward the bank withdrawal information to the Funds, there may be periodic delays in posting the funds to your account.

Dollar-cost averaging. By participating in an automatic investment plan with a Fund, you will be practicing dollar cost averaging. Dollar-cost averaging is an investment strategy designed to avoid the pitfalls of market timing by investing equal amounts of money at regular intervals (monthly, quarterly, so on) over a long period of time. The advantage of dollar-cost averaging is that an investor buys more shares at lower prices, and fewer shares at higher prices. As a result, an investor ends up paying an average price per share over time. The important key is to stick with dollar-cost averaging through periods of rising and falling markets. Of course, no strategy can guarantee a profit or protect your investment from losses.

Shareholder Reports

To keep the Funds’ costs as low as possible and to conserve paper usage, where practical we attempt to eliminate duplicate mailings to the same address. When we find that two or more Fund shareholders have the same last name and address, rather than sending a separate report to each shareholder, we will send just one report to that address. If your household is receiving separate mailings that you feel are unnecessary, or if you want us to send separate statements, please notify Nottingham Shareholder Services at 888-350-3369.

Reporting to Third Party Information Providers

The Funds provide various third-party information providers such as Morningstar, Lipper, and others, as well as various third-party consultants, with Fund information. These information providers may receive Fund information such as a Fund’s holdings and NAV and other Fund information, in advance of Shareholders. A description of the Funds’ policies and procedures with respect to the disclosure of the Funds’ portfolio securities is available in the Funds’ SAI.

Currently, disclosure of the Funds’ holdings is required to be made quarterly within 60 days of the end of each fiscal quarter, in the annual Form N-CSR and semi-annual Form N-CSR to Fund shareholders, and in the quarterly holdings report on Form N-PORT. The annual and semi-annual Form N-CSRs are available by contacting the Funds’ transfer agent, c/o Nottingham Shareholder Services, LLC, 116 S. Franklin Street, Rocky Mount, NC 27804 or calling 888-350-3369. The Funds’ top 10 holdings as of the calendar quarter-end are most typically posted on the Funds’ website at azzadasset.com/azzad-ethical-fund-2/#top-holdings for the Ethical Fund and azzadasset.com/azzad-wise-capital-fund/#top-holdings for the Wise Fund.

STATEMENT OF ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

November 1, 2026

Azzad Ethical Fund (ADJEX)

Azzad Wise Capital Fund (WISEX)

TABLE OF CONTENTS

INVESTMENT OBJECTIVES, POLICIES, AND RESTRICTIONS

The investment objectives and policies of the Funds are described in the Funds’ Prospectus. All investments are subject to the overall policy of making investment decisions according to ethical principles, as described in the Prospectus. Additional information regarding the Funds’ investment risks, policies, and restrictions is set forth in this SAI.

Investment Policies and Associated Risks

The following discussion supplements the disclosure in the Prospectus about the Funds’ investment techniques, strategies, and risks. Unless otherwise noted, the policies described in this SAI are not fundamental and may be changed by the Board. As all investment securities are subject to inherent market risks and fluctuations in value due to earnings, economic, and political conditions and other factors, there is no assurance that the Funds’ investment objectives will be achieved.

Each Fund is a diversified series of the Trust, an open-end management investment company organized as a Massachusetts business trust on December 16, 1996 (formerly Islamia Group of Funds). The Wise Fund invests primarily in securities issued by counterparties in transactions structured to be compliant with the Wise Fund’s ethical investment restrictions, which are described in the Prospectus. The Wise Fund may also invest in other fixed-income and dividend-paying securities that are structured to provide returns consistent with the Wise Fund’s ethical investment restrictions, which are described in the Prospectus. Such securities include common stocks and American Depositary Receipts (“ADRs”). The Ethical Fund invests primarily in equity securities of mid-capitalization companies that Azzad Asset Management, Inc. (the “Adviser”) believes are high quality and/or exhibit above-average growth potential and that under normal market conditions, meet the Ethical Fund’s ethical investment criteria. The Adviser serves as the investment adviser for each Fund.

Equity Securities. The equity securities in which the Funds may invest consist of common stock. Common stocks represent an equity (ownership) interest in a corporation. Although equity securities have a history of long-term growth in value, their prices fluctuate based on changes in a company’s financial condition and on overall market and economic conditions.

Investments in equity securities are subject to inherent market risks and fluctuations in value due to earnings, economic conditions, and other factors beyond the control of the Adviser. As a result, the returns and net asset values (“NAV”) of the Funds will fluctuate. Securities in the Funds’ portfolios may not increase as much as the market as a whole and some undervalued securities may continue to be undervalued for long periods of time. Although profits in some Fund holdings may be realized quickly, it is not expected that most investments will appreciate rapidly.

Initial Public Offerings (“IPOs”). IPOs are a form of equity security. IPOs can have a dramatic impact on Fund performance and assumptions about future performance based on that impact may not be warranted. Investing in IPOs involves risks. Many, but not all, of the companies issuing IPOs are small, unseasoned companies. These are companies that have been in operation for a short period of time. Small company securities, including IPOs, are subject to greater volatility in their prices than are securities issued by more established companies. If a Fund does not intend to make a long-term investment in the IPO (it is sometimes possible to immediately sell an IPO at a profit), the Adviser may not perform the same detailed research on the company that it does for core holdings.

Mid-Capitalization Companies. The Adviser considers companies within the Russell MidCap Growth benchmark to be mid-capitalization companies. As of September 30, 2026 (the quarter-end closest to the index’s rebalance) the Index had a weighted average market capitalization of $45.30 billion and a median market capitalization of $15.00 billion. The largest stock by market cap in the Index was $123.26 billion. Investing in such companies may be riskier than investing in large-capitalization companies. Smaller companies typically have more limited product lines, markets, and financial resources than larger companies, and their securities may trade less frequently and in more limited volume than those of larger, more mature companies. Securities of these companies may be subject to volatility in their prices. They may have a limited trading market, which may adversely affect a Fund’s ability to dispose of them and can reduce the price the Fund might be able to obtain for them. Other investors that own a security issued by a mid- capitalization company for which there is limited liquidity might trade the security when a Fund is attempting to dispose of its holdings in that security. In that case, the Fund might receive a lower price for its holdings than otherwise might be obtained.

Real Estate Investment Trust (“REIT”) Securities. Subject to its investment policies and restrictions, a Fund may invest in securities issued by REITs. A REIT is a domestic corporation (or a trust or association otherwise taxable as such for federal tax purposes) that meets certain requirements of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Tax Code”). The Tax Code permits a qualifying REIT to deduct dividends it pays, thereby effectively eliminating entity-level federal income tax for a REIT that distributes all of its taxable income (including net capital gains) and making the REIT a modified pass-through vehicle for federal income tax purposes. To qualify for treatment as a REIT, a company must, among other things, derive at least 75% of its gross income each taxable year from real estate sources (such as rents from real estate, interest from mortgages on real estate, and gains from sales of real estate assets), and must annually distribute to its shareholders 90% or more of its taxable income (including net capital gains). Moreover, at the end of each quarter of its taxable year, at least 75% of the value of its total assets must be represented by real estate assets, cash and cash items and U.S. government securities. REITs are sometimes informally characterized as equity REITs, mortgage REITs and hybrid REITs. An equity REIT invests primarily in the fee ownership or leasehold ownership of land and buildings and derives its income primarily from rental income. It is anticipated, although not required, that under normal circumstances, a majority of each Fund’s investments in REITs will consist of shares issued by equity REITs.

The prices of securities issued by companies engaged in the real estate industry may change in response to interest rate changes. At times, when interest rates go up, the value of securities issued by companies in the real estate industry goes down. If a Fund focuses its real estate related investments in a geographic area or in a property type, the Fund will be particularly subject to the risks associated with that geographic area or property type.

Sukuk. The Wise Fund may invest in sukuk. Sukuk are used to finance projects and asset acquisitions while avoiding interest. Whereas bonds represent a debt ownership, a sukuk certificate represents ownership or interest in a tangible asset, or the usufruct of an asset. Sukuk are therefore considered to be asset-based securities. Sukuk grant investors a proportionate beneficial ownership of the underlying asset, along with its associated risks and potential cash flows. Underlying assets may include, without limitation, real estate (developed and undeveloped), infrastructure projects, lease contracts, and machinery and equipment. While the certificate is linked to the returns generated by certain assets of the issuer, the underlying assets are not pledged as security for the certificates, and the Wise Fund (as the investor) is relying on the creditworthiness of the issuer for all payments required by the sukuk. Sukuk certificate holders share the risk of the underlying asset. If the assets on which sukuk are issued do not perform as well as expected, the sukuk investor will bear a share of the loss. Unlike conventional bonds, sukuk do not earn interest payments. Sukuk may be issued by international financial institutions, foreign governments and agencies of foreign governments and even global corporations. Like conventional bonds, rating agencies rate sukuk based on their credit quality and the issuer’s ability to pay investors. Sukuk receive ratings that look exactly like conventional bonds.

Wakala. The Wise Fund may invest in wakala. As an element of Islamic finance, wakala means “agency agreement.” In its capacity as an agent, a bank raises funds to invest in various commercial activities from its investors. The bank and its investors both share in the profit and risk of loss of investment in such activities. As agent, the bank is responsible for monitoring the underlying investments to make sure that they will achieve the anticipated profit rate agreed upon in the contract on the maturity date. If the bank makes any profit by the maturity date, the profits are shared with the investors according to a pre-agreed ratio. Conversely, if a loss is made, it is borne by the investors in the absence of gross negligence, fraud or willful default by the bank.

Since wakala are Islamic fixed-income investments, the financial and economic data associated with interest bearing investments similarly affect the yields and returns on wakala. Changes in interest rates impact prices of fixed-income and related investments. When interest rates rise, the value of fixed-income investments (paying a lower rate of interest) generally will fall. Investments with shorter terms may have less interest rate risk, but generally have lower returns and, because of the more frequent maturity dates, may involve higher re-investment costs.

Trade Finance. Trade finance investments in which the Wise Fund may invest consist primarily of loans or similar instruments used to finance international trade and related infrastructure projects, such as, for example, facilities for pre-export finance, process and commodities finance, receivables financing, factoring or forfaiting, trade credit insurance, letters of credit and other documentary credits, documentary collection, promissory notes, bills of exchange and other negotiable instruments. The Wise Fund may invest in such investments by way of purchase, assignment, participation, guarantee, insurance or another financial instrument. Trade finance transactions may include both domestic and international transactions, and may include sellers of goods or services, buyers of such goods or services, intermediaries such as banks and other financial institutions as lenders, insurers, and other parties. A trade finance transaction can involve various structures. For example, while a seller (or exporter) can require a purchaser (an importer) to prepay for goods shipped, the purchaser (importer) may wish to reduce risk by requiring the seller to document the goods that have been shipped. Banks, financial institutions or other lenders may assist by providing various forms of support, such as a letter of credit provided by the importer’s bank to the exporter (or the exporter’s bank) providing for payment upon presentation of certain documents (for example, a bill of lading). The exporter’s bank also may make a loan (by advancing funds) to the exporter based on the export contract.

Trade Finance securities are located primarily in or have exposure to global emerging markets. As such, the Wise Fund is subject to all the risks typical to investments generally made in emerging markets. In addition, the Wise Fund is subject to risks specific to the trade finance asset class such as liquidity risk, credit rating risk, and counter-party risk. The Wise Fund will only invest in trade finance related securities if it is determined that this investment is in accordance with the Wise Fund’s ethical investment philosophy.

Special Purpose Entity Certificates. The Wise Fund may invest in certificates issued by special purpose entities established by various financial institutions as part of transactions involving guarantees by the financial institutions of arrangements designed to assure that the issuers of the certificates have sufficient funds to make all payments required by the certificates. There is no assurance that the issuers of the certificates will be able to make such payments.

Investment Companies. The Wise Fund may invest in investment companies such as open-end funds (mutual funds), closed-end funds, and exchange-traded funds (also referred to as “Underlying Funds”).  The Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”) provides that mutual funds may not: (1) purchase more than 3% of an investment company’s outstanding shares; (2) invest more than 5% of its assets in any single such investment company, and (3) invest more than 10% of its assets in investment companies overall, unless: (i) the underlying investment company and/or the Wise Fund has received an order for exemptive relief from such limitations from the SEC; and (ii) the underlying investment company and the Wise Fund take appropriate steps to comply with any conditions in such order.  

In addition, Section 12(d)(1)(F) of the 1940 Act, as amended, provides that the provisions of Section 12(d)(1) shall not apply to securities purchased or otherwise acquired by the Wise Fund if (i) immediately after such purchase or acquisition not more than 3% of the total outstanding stock of such registered investment company is owned by the Wise Fund and all affiliated persons of the Wise Fund; and (ii) the Wise Fund has not offered, and is not proposing to offer or sell any security issued by it through a principal underwriter or otherwise at a public or offering price which includes a sales load of more than 1.5%. An investment company that issues shares to the Wise Fund pursuant to Section 12(d)(1)(F) shall not be required to redeem its shares in an amount exceeding 1% of such investment company’s total outstanding shares in any period of less than 30 days. The Wise Fund (or the Adviser acting on behalf of the Wise Fund) must comply with the following voting restrictions:  when the Wise Fund exercises voting rights, by proxy or otherwise, with respect to investment companies owned by the Wise Fund, the Wise Fund will either seek instruction from the Wise Fund’s shareholders with regard to the voting of all proxies and vote in accordance with such instructions, or vote the shares held by the Wise Fund in the same proportion as the vote of all other holders of such security.  

Further, the Wise Fund may rely on Rule 12d1-3, which allows unaffiliated mutual funds to exceed the limitations set forth above, provided the aggregate sales loads any investor pays (i.e., the combined distribution expenses of both the acquiring fund and the acquired funds) do not exceed the limits on sales loads established by the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (“FINRA”) for funds of funds.

The Wise Fund and any “affiliated persons,” as defined by the 1940 Act, may purchase in the aggregate only up to 3% of the total outstanding securities of any Underlying Fund.  Accordingly, when affiliated persons hold shares of any of the Underlying Funds, the Wise Fund’s ability to invest fully in shares of those funds is restricted, and the Adviser must then, in some instances, select alternative investments that would not have been its first preference.  The 1940 Act also provides that an Underlying Fund whose shares are purchased by the Wise Fund will be obligated to redeem shares held by the Wise Fund in an amount up to 1% of the Underlying Fund’s outstanding securities during any period of less than 30 days. Shares held by the Wise Fund in excess of 1% of an Underlying Fund’s outstanding securities therefore will be considered not readily marketable securities, which, together with other such securities, may not exceed 15% of the Wise Fund’s total assets.

Under certain circumstances an Underlying Fund may determine to make payment of a redemption by the Wise Fund wholly or partly by a distribution in kind of securities from its portfolio, in lieu of cash, in conformity with the rules of the SEC. In such cases, the Wise Fund may hold securities distributed by an Underlying Fund until the Adviser determines that it is appropriate to dispose of such securities. Investment decisions by the investment advisers of the Underlying Funds are made independently of the Wise Fund and the Adviser. Therefore, the investment adviser of one Underlying Fund may be purchasing shares of the same issuer whose shares are being sold by the investment adviser of another such fund. The result would be an indirect expense to the Wise Fund without accomplishing any investment purpose.  Because other investment companies employ an investment adviser, such investments by the Wise Fund may cause shareholders to bear duplicate fees.

Restricted and Illiquid Securities. Each Fund may invest up to 15% of its net assets in securities that are considered illiquid. A security is illiquid if it cannot be sold or disposed of in the ordinary course of business within seven days at approximately the value at which the Fund has valued the security. Examples of illiquid securities include securities that have a limited trading market, securities that are sold in private placements without being registered for public sale under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “1933 Act”), and are therefore subject to restrictions on resale, and other securities that are subject to restrictions on resale. Certain restricted securities such as commercial paper issued under Section 4(2) of the 1933 Act and domestically traded securities that are not registered under the 1933 Act, but are regularly traded among qualified institutional buyers because they are exempt from registration under Rule 144A of the 1933 Act, may be treated as liquid securities for purposes of the 15% limitation by the Adviser, pursuant to procedures adopted by the Board, which require consideration of factors such as trading activity, availability of market quotations and number of dealers willing to purchase the security.

Closed-End Investment Companies. The Funds may invest their assets in “closed-end” investment companies (or “closed-end funds”), subject to the investment restrictions set forth above. Shares of closed-end funds are typically offered to the public in a one-time initial public offering by a group of underwriters who retain a spread or underwriting commission of between 4% and 6% of the initial public offering price. Such securities are then listed for trading on the New York Stock Exchange (the “NYSE”), the American Stock Exchange, the National Association of Securities Dealers Automated Quotation System (commonly known as “NASDAQ”) and, in some cases, may be traded in other over-the-counter markets. Because the shares of closed-end funds cannot be redeemed upon demand to the issuer like the shares of an open-end investment company (such as the Funds), investors seek to buy and sell shares of closed-end funds in the secondary market.

The Funds generally will purchase shares of closed-end funds only in the secondary market. The Funds will incur normal brokerage costs on such purchases similar to the expenses the Funds would incur for the purchase of securities of any other type of issuer in the secondary market. The Funds may, however, also purchase securities of a closed-end fund in an initial public offering when, in the opinion of the Adviser, based on a consideration of the nature of the closed-end fund’s proposed investments, the prevailing market conditions and the level of demand for such securities, they represent an attractive opportunity for growth of capital. The initial offering price typically will include a dealer spread, which may be higher than the applicable brokerage cost if a Fund purchased such securities in the secondary market.

The shares of many closed-end funds, after their initial public offering, frequently trade at a price per share that is less than the NAV per share, the difference representing the “market discount” of such shares. This market discount may be due in part to the investment objective of long-term appreciation, which is sought by many closed-end funds, as well as to the fact that the shares of closed-end funds are not redeemable by the holder upon demand to the issuer at the next determined NAV but rather are subject to the principles of supply and demand in the secondary market. A relative lack of secondary market purchasers of closed-end fund shares also may contribute to such shares trading at a discount to their NAV.

The Funds may invest in shares of closed-end funds that are trading at a discount to NAV or at a premium to NAV. There can be no assurance that the market discount on shares of any closed-end fund purchased by a Fund will ever decrease. In fact, it is possible that this market discount may increase, and a Fund may suffer realized or unrealized capital losses due to further decline in the market price of the securities of such closed-end funds, thereby adversely affecting the NAV of the Fund’s shares. Similarly, there can be no assurance that any shares of a closed-end fund purchased by a Fund at a premium will continue to trade at a premium or that the premium will not decrease subsequent to a purchase of such shares by the Fund.

Closed-end funds may issue senior securities (including preferred stock and debt obligations) for the purpose of leveraging the closed-end fund’s common shares in an attempt to enhance the current return to such closed-end fund’s common shareholders. A Fund’s investment in the common shares of closed-end funds that are financially leveraged may create an opportunity for greater total return on its investment, but at the same time may be expected to exhibit more volatility in market price and NAV than an investment in shares of investment companies without a leveraged capital structure.

Foreign Equity Securities. The Wise Fund may invest in foreign equity securities, including investments in ADRs, Global Depositary Receipts (“GDRs”) covering such securities or through the purchase of individual securities on recognized exchanges and developed over-the-counter markets. ADRs are receipts typically issued by a U.S. bank or trust company evidencing ownership of the underlying foreign security and denominated in U.S. dollars. Purchases of foreign equity securities entail certain risks. For example, there may be less information publicly available about a foreign company than about a U.S. company, and foreign companies generally are not subject to accounting, auditing and financial reporting standards and practices comparable to those in the U.S. Other risks associated with investments in foreign securities include changes in restrictions on foreign currency transactions and rates of exchanges, changes in the administrations or economic and monetary policies of foreign governments, the imposition of exchange control regulations, the possibility of expropriation decrees and other adverse foreign governmental action, the imposition of foreign taxes, less liquid markets, less government supervision of exchanges, brokers, and issuers, difficulty in enforcing contractual obligations, delays in settlement of securities transactions and greater price volatility. In addition, when the Wise Fund invests in foreign securities, its operating expenses are likely to be higher than those of an investment company investing exclusively in U.S. securities, since the custodial and certain other expenses are expected to be higher.

Options. The Wise Fund may utilize call and put options to attempt to protect against possible changes in the market value of securities held in or to be purchased for the Wise Fund’s portfolio and to generate income or gain for the Wise Fund. The Wise Fund will only invest in options if it is determined that this investment is in accordance with the Wise Fund’s ethical investment philosophy. The ability of the Wise Fund to successfully utilize options will depend on the Adviser’s ability to predict pertinent market movements, which cannot be assured. The Wise Fund will comply with applicable regulatory requirements when implementing these techniques and instruments.

The Wise Fund may write (sell) covered call options and covered put options and purchase call and put options. The purpose of engaging in options transactions is to reduce the effect of price fluctuations of the securities owned by the Wise Fund (and involved in the options) on a Wise Fund’s NAV per share and to generate additional revenues.

A covered call option is an option sold on a security owned by the seller of the option in exchange for a premium. A call option gives the purchaser of the option the right to buy the underlying securities at the exercise price during the option period. If the option is exercised by the purchaser during the option period, the seller is required to deliver the underlying security against payment of the exercise price. The seller’s obligation terminates upon expiration of the option period or when the seller executes a closing purchase transaction with respect to such option. Call options on securities which the Wise Fund sells (writes) will be covered or secured, which means that the Wise Fund will own the underlying security or, to the extent it does not hold such a security, will maintain a segregated account with the Wise Fund’s custodian consisting of liquid debt obligations equal to the market value of the option, marked to market daily. When the Wise Fund writes a covered call option, it profits from the premium paid by the buyer but gives up the opportunity to profit from an increase in the value of the underlying security above the exercise price. At the same time, the seller retains the risk of loss from a decline in the value of the underlying security during the option period. Although the seller may terminate its obligation by executing a closing purchase transaction, the cost of effecting such a transaction may be greater than the premium received upon its sale, resulting in a loss to the seller. If such an option expires unexercised, the seller realizes a gain equal to the premium received. Such a gain may be offset or exceeded by a decline in the market value of the underlying security during the option period. If an option is exercised, the exercise price, the premium received, and the market value of the underlying security determine the gain or loss realized by the seller.

When the Wise Fund sells a put option, it has the obligation to buy, and the purchaser of the put the right to sell, the underlying security at the exercise price during the option period. The obligation of the Wise Fund is terminated when the purchaser exercises the put option, when the option expires or when a closing purchase transaction is effected by the Wise Fund. The Wise Fund’s gain on the sale of a put option is limited to the premium received. The Wise Fund’s potential loss on a put option is determined by taking into consideration the exercise price of the option, the market price of the underlying security when the put is exercised, and the premium received. Although the Wise Fund risks a substantial loss if the price of the security on which it has sold a put option drops suddenly, it can protect itself against serious loss by entering into a closing purchase transaction. The degree of loss will depend upon the Wise Fund’s ability to detect the movement in the security’s price and to execute a closing transaction at the appropriate time.

The Wise Fund will write options on such portion of its portfolio as management determines is appropriate in seeking to attain the Wise Fund’s objective. The Wise Fund will write options when management believes that a liquid secondary market will exist on a national securities exchange for options of the same series so that the Wise Fund can effect a closing purchase transaction if it desires to close out its position. Consistent with the investment policies of the Wise Fund, a closing purchase transaction will ordinarily be effected to realize a profit on an outstanding option, to prevent an underlying security from being called or to permit the sale of the underlying security. Effecting a closing purchase transaction will permit the Wise Fund to write another option on the underlying security with either a different exercise price or expiration date or both.

The Wise Fund may purchase put options to protect against declines in the market value of portfolio securities or to attempt to retain unrealized gains in the value of portfolio securities. Put options might also be purchased to facilitate the sale of portfolio securities. The Wise Fund may purchase call options as a temporary substitute for the purchase of individual securities, which then could be purchased in orderly fashion. Upon the purchase of the securities, the Wise Fund would normally terminate the call position. The purchase of both put and call options involves the risk of loss of all or part of the premium paid. If the price of the underlying security does not rise (in the case of a call) or drop (in the case of a put) by an amount at least equal to the premium paid for the option contract, the Wise Fund will experience a loss on the option contract equal to the deficiency.

Investment Restrictions

Fundamental Investment Limitations. The investment limitations described below have been adopted by the Trust with respect to the Funds and are fundamental (“Fundamental”), i.e., they may not be changed without the affirmative vote of a majority of the outstanding shares of the Funds. As used in the Prospectus and the SAI, the term “majority” of the outstanding shares of the Funds means the lesser of: (1) 67% or more of the outstanding shares of the respective Fund present at a meeting, if the holders of more than 50% of the outstanding shares of the Fund are present or represented at such meeting; or (2) more than 50% of the outstanding shares of the respective Fund. Other investment practices, which may be changed by the Board without the approval of shareholders to the extent permitted by applicable law, regulation or regulatory policy, are considered non-fundamental (“Non-Fundamental”).

1. Borrowing Money. The Funds will not borrow money or property, except: (a) from a bank, provided that immediately after such borrowing there is an asset coverage of 300% for all borrowings of the Fund; or (b) from a bank or other persons for temporary purposes only, provided that such temporary borrowings are in an amount not exceeding 5% of the Fund’s total assets at the time when the borrowing is made. This limitation does not preclude a Fund from entering into reverse repurchase transactions, provided that the Fund has an asset coverage of 300% for all borrowings and repurchase commitments of the Fund pursuant to reverse repurchase transactions.

2. Senior Securities. The Funds will not issue senior securities. This limitation is not applicable to activities that may be deemed to involve the issuance or sale of a senior security by a Fund, provided that the Fund’s engagement in such activities is consistent with or permitted by the 1940 Act, as amended, the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder or interpretations of the SEC or its staff.

3. Underwriting. The Funds will not act as underwriter of securities issued by other persons. This limitation is not applicable to the extent that, in connection with the disposition of portfolio securities (including restricted securities), a Fund may be deemed an underwriter under certain federal securities laws.

4. Real Estate. The Funds will not purchase or sell real estate. This limitation is not applicable to investments in marketable securities that are secured by or represent interests in real estate. This limitation does not preclude a Fund from investing in mortgage related securities or investing in companies engaged in the real estate business or that have a significant portion of their assets in real estate (including real estate investment trusts).

5. Commodities. The Funds will not purchase or sell commodities unless acquired as a result of ownership of securities or other investments. This limitation does not preclude a Fund from purchasing or selling options or futures contracts, from investing in securities or other instruments backed by commodities or from investing in companies, which are engaged in a commodities business or have a significant portion of their assets in commodities.

6. Loans. The Funds will not make loans to other persons, except: (a) by loaning portfolio securities (limited at any given time to no more than one-third of the Fund’s total assets); (b) by engaging in repurchase agreements; or (c) by purchasing nonpublicly offered debt securities. For purposes of this limitation, the term “loans” shall not include the purchase of a portion of an issue of publicly distributed bonds, debentures, or other securities.

7. Concentration. The Ethical Fund will not invest 25% or more of its total assets in a particular industry. The Wise Fund will invest at least 25% of its total assets in the financial services industry. For this purpose, an investment in the financial services industry includes the purchase of notes issued by counterparties that are in the financial services industry. This limitation is not applicable to investments in obligations issued or guaranteed by the U.S. government, its agencies, and instrumentalities or repurchase agreements with respect thereto.

8. Investment Companies. The Ethical Fund may not purchase securities of other investment companies unless (a) such securities are consistent with the investment objective of the Ethical Fund and the investment companies operate in a manner consistent with the Adviser’s ethical principles and (b) such purchase is in compliance with the 1940 Act and applicable state law. However, no such restriction shall apply to a purchase of investment company securities in connection with a merger, consolidation, acquisition, or reorganization.

With respect to the percentages adopted by the Trust as maximum limitations on its investment policies and limitations, an excess above the fixed percentage will not be a violation of the policy or limitation unless the excess results immediately and directly from the acquisition of any security or the action taken. This paragraph does not apply to the borrowing policy set forth in paragraph 1 above.

Non-Fundamental Investment Limitations The following limitations have been adopted by the Trust with respect to the Funds and are Non-Fundamental (see “Fundamental Investment Limitations” above).

1. Pledging. The Funds will not mortgage, pledge, hypothecate or in any manner transfer, as security for indebtedness, any assets of a Fund except as may be necessary in connection with borrowings described in limitation (1) above. Margin deposits, security interests, liens, and collateral arrangements with respect to transactions involving options, futures contracts, short sales, and other permitted investments, and techniques are not deemed to be a mortgage, pledge or hypothecation of assets for purposes of this limitation.

2. Borrowing. The Funds will not purchase any security while borrowings (including reverse repurchase agreements) representing more than one-third of its total assets are outstanding.

3. Margin Purchases. The Funds will not purchase securities or evidences of interest thereon on “margin.” This limitation is not applicable to short-term credit obtained by a Fund for the clearance of purchases and sales or redemption of securities, or to arrangements with respect to transactions involving options or futures contracts.

4. Illiquid Investments. The Funds will not invest 15% or more of their separate net assets in securities for which there are legal or contractual restrictions on resale and other illiquid securities.

5. Preferred Stock and Warrants. The Funds will not invest in preferred stock and warrants.

6. Options. The Ethical Fund will not purchase or sell options, except that the Ethical Fund may purchase covered call options as a method to increase the income received from common stocks owned by the Ethical Fund. The Ethical Fund may sell (write) covered call options and purchase call options to close out call options previously written. The Ethical Fund currently does not write covered call options.

7. Ethical Investments. Under normal market conditions, the Ethical Fund will invest at least 80% of its assets (defined as net assets plus borrowing for investment purposes) in securities meeting the Ethical Fund’s ethical investment criteria.

Portfolio Turnover

The Funds will generally not invest for short-term trading purposes, and portfolio securities may be sold without regard to the length of time they have been held when, in the opinion of the portfolio manager, investment considerations warrant such action. Portfolio turnover rate is calculated by dividing (1) the lesser of purchases or sales of portfolio securities for the fiscal year by (2) the monthly average of the value of portfolio securities owned during the fiscal year. A 100% turnover rate would occur if all the securities in a Fund’s portfolio, with the exception of securities whose maturities at the time of acquisition were one year or less, were sold and either repurchased or replaced within one year. A high rate of portfolio turnover (100% or more) generally leads to higher transaction costs and may result in a greater number of taxable transactions.

Portfolio Turnover. Portfolio turnover may vary from year to year, as well as within a year. High turnover rates may result in comparatively greater brokerage expenses. The table below sets forth the portfolio turnover rates of the Funds for the fiscal years ended June 30:

The Ethical Fund’s portfolio turnover rate decreased during the most recent fiscal year due primarily to a change in the Fund’s management structure. During the fiscal year ended June 30, 2026, the Fund’s sub-adviser relationship was terminated, and portfolio management responsibilities were assumed directly by Azzad Asset Management. As a result, the Fund experienced lower trading activity and fewer portfolio adjustments, contributing to the reduction in portfolio turnover during the period. The Wise Fund’s portfolio turnover rate decreased during the most recent fiscal year ended June 30, 2026 due primarily to the Fund’s investment strategy. The portfolio turnover rate remained within the expected range projected for the Wise Fund. The portfolio turnover rate reflects the portfolio management team’s disciplined approach to trading and ongoing efforts to maintain efficient portfolio positioning while minimizing unnecessary transaction activity.

TRUSTEES AND EXECUTIVE OFFICERS

The Board supervises the business and management activities of the Trust and approves all significant agreements between the Trust and outside service providers. The Board is scheduled to meet four times a year.

Each Trustee shall hold office until the next meeting of shareholders, if any, called for the purpose of considering the election or re-election of such Trustee or of a successor to such Trustee, and until the election and qualification of his successor, if any, elected at such meeting, or until such Trustee dies, resigns, retires, or is removed.

The following tables contain information concerning each Trustee and officer of the Trust. The Board consists of two individuals who are not “interested persons” (as defined in the 1940 Act) of the Trust or any investment adviser to the Funds (“Independent Trustees”) and one interested Trustee (“Interested Trustee”). Mr. Qasem is an Interested Trustee because he is an officer of the Trust and an officer of the Adviser.

Trustees

Officers

Leadership Structure and Board of Trustees

The Trust is led by Mr. Qasem and does not have an independent lead trustee. As part of its annual governance assessment, the Trust reviews the collective and individual experience, qualifications, and skills of the Trustees. Qualifications common to all Trustees are strong educational backgrounds, lifetimes of experience in business and finance, personal investments in the Funds, and an ability to effectively evaluate information about the Funds, the Adviser, and its service providers.

Mr. Qasem, an Interested Trustee of the Board and CEO of the Adviser, serves as the Board’s Chairman. The Board believes that its leadership structure is appropriate given the Funds’ size and investment objectives. Mr. Qasem has over 27 years of experience in the investment management field and has served as Chairman of the Trust since inception. Mr. Qasem brings to the Board an advantageous insight into the Funds’ operations, investment objectives, and history. The Board believes that, currently, he is the most qualified to serve as Chairman. The Independent Trustees meet once a quarter, outside of the Adviser’s presence, to discuss the Board’s effectiveness, any matters of concern, and the Funds in general. The Board feels that the current leadership structure is appropriate because Mr. Qasem, in his role as CEO of the Adviser, provides the Board with insight into the day-to-day operations of the Funds and he is receptive to inquiries and suggestions from the other Trustees in their areas of expertise and experience.

In determining that each Trustee is qualified to serve on the Board, the Board considers a variety of criteria, including actual service, commitment, and participation of each member during his tenure with the Funds. The following are additional qualifications of each Trustee:

Bashar Qasem is the founder and president of the Adviser established in 1997. For over 25 years, the Adviser has provided investment management services to the Funds and other investors. Mr. Qasem is one of the few in the United States to earn the prestigious AAOIFI (Accounting and Auditing Organization for Islamic Financial Institutions) designation, Certified Shariah Advisor and Auditor. AAOIFI is an internationally recognized organization that oversees Islamic financial organizations. Mr. Qasem has served as the Funds’ Chairman since their inception, and his institutional knowledge of the Funds is an important part of Board discussions. Mr. Qasem was selected to serve as a Trustee based primarily on his experience in the investment management industry and prior mutual fund experience as a trustee of Islamia Funds.

Syed Raheemullah is retired. Prior to his retirement, Mr. Raheemullah was an engineer for Lucent Technologies. He has served as a Trustee of the Trust since its inception, and his past experiences with mutual funds contribute to Board decision-making. Mr. Raheemullah was selected to serve as Trustee based primarily on his general business experience and prior mutual fund experience as a trustee of Islamia Funds.

Damani Ingram is an attorney at the law firm of The Ingram Firm, LLC. Mr. Ingram is a litigator, legal advisor, and advocate for his clients. He has also served as a legal advisor to notable nonprofit organizations in the Greater Washington, DC area. Mr. Ingram was selected to serve as Trustee primarily because of his legal background. He was elected as Trustee by the Board, including a majority of Independent Trustees, on October 6, 2020.

The Trust’s Audit Committee consists of Mr. Raheemullah and Mr. Ingram. The Audit Committee is responsible for overseeing the Funds’ accounting and financial reporting policies and practices, its internal controls and, as appropriate, the internal controls of certain service providers; overseeing the quality and objectivity of the Funds’ financial statements and the independent audit of the financial statements; and acting as a liaison between the Funds’ independent registered public accounting firm and the Board. During the fiscal year ended June 30, 2026, the Audit Committee held two meetings.

Board Role in Risk Oversight

The Board’s role in management of the Trust is oversight. Daily management of the Funds, selection of Fund holdings, administration and distribution services, and management of operational and portfolio risk are the responsibilities of the Adviser. The Board obtains and reviews various reports and agreements from the Adviser, service providers, auditors, and the Funds’ chief compliance officer (“CCO”). The Board meets independently with the Funds’ CCO at least once a year (or whenever a material event occurs) to discuss the Adviser and Funds’ compliance procedures and findings. In addition, the portfolio managers for the Funds report to the Board, at least once a year, on various potential risks to the Funds including investment, liquidity, and operational risks.

The following table provides information regarding shares of the Funds owned by each Trustee as of December 31, 2025.

For their service as Trustees, the Independent Trustees are entitled to receive compensation from the Trust. Compensation is based on a yearly compensation rate of $20 per one million assets under management, up to a maximum of $12,000 per trustee annually. Compensation is paid to each Trustee on a quarterly basis and calculated at the end of each quarter. The calculation is based on the assets under management at the end of each quarter divided by four times $20. None of the executive officers receive compensation from the Trust. The Funds will pay a pro rata portion of the fees payable to the Independent Trustees.

During the fiscal year ended June 30, 2026, compensation paid by the Funds to the Independent Trustees was as follows:

INVESTMENT ADVISORY AND OTHER SERVICES

The Adviser’s address is 3141 Fairview Park Drive, Suite 355, Falls Church, Virginia 22042. The Adviser can also be contacted by telephone at 703-207-7005. As of June 30, 2026, Mr. Qasem is deemed to control the Adviser by virtue of his ownership of more than 25% of the Adviser’s outstanding voting shares.

The Adviser currently serves as the investment adviser pursuant to an advisory agreement (each an “Advisory Agreement,” and collectively, the “Advisory Agreements”) with each Fund. The Adviser receives a management fee, at an annual rate of 0.80% of the average daily net assets of each Fund. The Adviser has contractually agreed to waive all or a portion of its fee or reimburse each Fund for certain operating expenses, to the extent necessary to limit each Fund’s net annual operating expenses (excluding brokerage costs; borrowing costs including without limitation dividends on securities sold short; taxes; indirect expenses, such as expenses incurred by other investment companies in which such Fund invests; and litigation and other extraordinary expenses) to 0.99% and 0.89% of average daily net assets of the Ethical Fund and the Wise Fund, respectively, until at least December 1, 2029. These fee waivers and expense reimbursements are subject to possible recoupment from each Fund within the three years from the date on which the expenses were incurred if such recoupment can be achieved within the lesser of the expense limits that were in place at the time of the waiver or reimbursement or the expense limits in place at the time of recoupment. These agreements may be terminated only by the Board.

Under the Advisory Agreements, the Adviser provides the Funds with advice and assistance in the acquisition and disposition of the Funds’ investments. All investment decisions are subject to review by the Board. The Adviser is obligated to pay the salaries and fees of any affiliates of the Adviser serving as officers of the Trust or the Funds. The Funds pay all operating expenses not expressly assumed by the Adviser, including custodial and transfer agency fees, federal and state securities registration fees, legal and audit fees and brokerage commissions and other costs associated with the purchase and sale of portfolio securities. The advisory fees paid by the Funds to the Adviser pursuant to the Advisory Agreements for the last three fiscal years are set forth below.

The Advisory Agreements continued in effect for an initial term of two years and continue from year to year if such continuance is approved at least annually in accordance with the requirements of the 1940 Act as now in effect or as hereafter amended. The Advisory Agreements will terminate automatically in the event of an assignment. In addition, the Advisory Agreements are terminable at any time, without penalty, by the Board or by vote of a majority of a Fund’s outstanding voting securities upon 60 days’ written notice to the Adviser. A discussion regarding the basis for the Board’s most recent renewal of the Advisory Agreements is available in the Funds’ annual Form N-CSR dated June 30, 2026.

The same security may be suitable for the Funds or other accounts managed by the Adviser. If and when, the Funds or two or more accounts simultaneously purchase or sell the same security, the transactions will be allocated as to price and amount in accordance with arrangements equitable to the Funds or accounts. The simultaneous purchase or sale of the same securities by the Funds and other accounts may have a detrimental effect on the Funds, as this may affect the price paid or received by the Funds or the size of the position obtainable or able to be sold by the Funds.

Prior to August 1, 2025, Delaware Investments Fund Advisers (“DIFA”) served as sub-adviser to the Ethical Fund pursuant to a sub-advisory agreement with the Adviser. DIFA’s sub-advisory fee was paid by the Adviser and not directly by the Ethical Fund. For the fiscal year ended June 30, 2026, DIFA earned $354,033 in sub-advisory fees for the Ethical Fund.

SUB-ADVISER AND SUB-SUB-ADVISER (WISE FUND)

The Adviser has retained Federated Investment Management Company (“Federated”) to serve as sub-adviser to the Wise Fund. The Adviser and Federated retained Federated Hermes (UK) LLP (“Federated Hermes UK”), an affiliate of Federated, to aid in carrying out Federated’s duties as the Wise Fund’s sub-adviser.

Federated and Federated Hermes UK are each a wholly owned subsidiary of Federated Hermes, Inc. Federated, Federated Hermes UK, and other subsidiaries of Federated Hermes, Inc., advise various equity, fixed-income, alternative/private markets, multi-asset and liquidity management strategies and a range of separately managed account strategies which totaled approximately $911.6 billion in assets as of June 30, 2026. Federated Hermes, Inc. was established in 1955 and is one of the largest investment managers in the United States with nearly 2,000 employees and provides investment products to more than 11,000 financial intermediaries and institutions. Federated and Federated Hermes UK receive certain credit research, portfolio management and other services from its affiliate, Federated Investors (UK) LLP, and receive certain administrative services from its affiliate, Federated Advisory Services Company. There is no separate fee charged to or payable by the Adviser or the Wise Fund, for the services provided by Federated Investors (UK) LLP or Federated Advisory Services Company to Federated and Federated Hermes UK in connection with their duties as the Wise Fund’s sub-adviser and sub-sub-adviser, respectively.

As sub-adviser to the Wise Fund, Federated directs the investment of the majority of the Wise Fund’s assets, in accordance with the investment objective and policies outlined in the Wise Fund’s prospectus and this SAI. With respect to the portion of the Wise Fund’s assets that it sub-advises, Federated furnishes investment information, advice and recommendations to the Wise Fund as to the acquisition, holding, or disposition of investments, all in accordance with the 1940 Act, periodic reporting as required and requested by the Adviser, and other provisions of a sub-advisory agreement between the Adviser and Federated (the “Sub-Advisory Agreement”). The Adviser is responsible for the day-to-day portfolio management of the Wise Fund related to the dividend yielding equity portion of the Wise Fund’s portfolio and for ensuring that the Wise Fund’s holdings and portfolio management complies with its ethical investment mandate. The Adviser pays a sub-advisory fee to Federated out of its own advisory fee. Under the terms of a sub-sub-advisory agreement between the Adviser, Federated, and Federated Hermes UK (the “Sub-Sub-Advisory Agreement”), the sub-sub-advisory fee is paid out of the sub-advisory fee Federated receives, not by either the Wise Fund or the Adviser directly. The compensation of any officer, director or employee of Federated or Federated Hermes UK who is rendering services to the Wise Fund is paid by Federated or Federated Hermes UK, respectively.

Each of the Sub-Advisory Agreement and the Sub-Sub-Advisory Agreement continued in effect for an initial two-year period and continues from year to year, subject to annual approval by (a) the Board or (b) a vote of the majority of the Wise Fund’s outstanding voting securities, provided that in either event continuance is also approved by a majority of the Independent Trustees, by a vote cast in person at a meeting called for the purpose of voting such approval. The Sub-Advisory Agreement may be terminated at any time, with 60 days’ written notice, without the payment of any penalty, by the Board, by a vote of a majority of the Wise Fund’s outstanding voting securities, by the Adviser, or by Federated. The Sub-Sub-Advisory Agreement may be terminated at any time, with 60 days’ written notice, without the payment of any penalty, by the Board, by a vote of a majority of the Wise Fund’s outstanding voting securities, by Federated, or by Federated Hermes UK. The Sub-Advisory Agreement and the Sub-Sub-Advisory Agreement shall each automatically terminate in the event of its assignment, as defined by the 1940 Act and the rules thereunder. A discussion regarding the basis for the Board’s most recent renewal of the Sub-Advisory Agreement and Sub-Sub-Advisory Agreement is available in the Wise Fund’s annual Form N-CSR dated June 30, 2026.

The sub-advisory fee paid by the Adviser to Federated pursuant to the Sub-Advisory Agreement for the last three fiscal years is set forth below. Under the terms of the Sub-Advisory Agreement, the sub- advisory fee is paid out of the advisory fee the Adviser receives, not directly by the Wise Fund.

The sub-sub-advisory fee paid by Federated to Federated Hermes UK pursuant to the Sub-Sub-Advisory Agreement for the last three fiscal years is set forth below. Under the terms of the Sub-Sub-Advisory Agreement, the sub-sub-advisory fee is paid out of the sub-advisory fee Federated receives, not directly by either the Wise Fund or the Adviser.

PORTFOLIO MANAGEMENT

Compensation. Mr. Jamal Elbarmil manages the Ethical Fund and the equity portion of the Wise Fund. Mr. Elbarmil receives a market-driven base salary and incentive compensation based on divisional revenue growth, individual performance, and the overall profitability of the Adviser. Messrs. Ihab Salib, John Polinski, and Mohammed Elmi assist Mr. Elbarmil in managing the Wise Fund. Messrs. Salib, Polinski, and Elmi are paid a fixed base salary and a variable annual incentive. Base salary is determined within a market competitive position-specific salary range, based on a portfolio manager’s experience and performance. The annual incentive amount is determined based primarily on Investment Product Performance (IPP) and may also include a discretionary component based on a variety of factors deemed relevant, such as financial measures and performance, and may be paid entirely in cash, or in a combination of cash and restricted stock of Federated Hermes, Inc. The total combined annual incentive opportunity is intended to be competitive in the market for a portfolio manager role. A portion of their discretionary annual incentive is subject to deferral arrangements. The deferral period is three years. At least 50% of the deferred component of their bonus is notionally co-invested in the strategies that they manage.

Other Accounts Managed by the Portfolio Managers. In addition to the Funds, the portfolio managers are responsible for the day-to-day management of certain other accounts. The following table provides the number of, and total assets in, such other accounts as of the Funds’ fiscal year ended June 30, 2026:
