A specific amount ($50 minimum per investment) can be invested, automatically each month on the 1st and/or 16th. Your pre-designated checking account will be debited automatically.

| LIQUIDITY |
You have ready liquidity permitting you to sell any amount of your investment on any business day at the then current share Net Asset Value. Due to market fluctuations, such share value may, of course, be more or less than your share purchase price. There are no redemption charges or penalties when you sell regular Class A Shares held for more than 90 days. A 1% Contingent Deferred Sales Charge (CDSC) will apply to Class C Shares redeemed within the first 12 months of purchase. |

Dividends are declared daily and paid monthly. Unless you specifically request otherwise, your dividends and distributions will be reinvested automatically for you in full and fractional shares of the Fund at the then current Net Asset Value per share, without any sales charge. You can, of course, if you wish, have any or all of the dividends or distributions paid to you by check each month, or electronically transferred to your personal bank account. Alternatively, you may direct all of your distributions to another one of your existing accounts in the Aquila Group of Funds. |

You will receive an initial confirmation, a monthly account statement, an interim statement with each investment or redemption, an annual cumulative statement, a semi-annual report, and an audited annual report. |
