Performance

On October 8, 2010, Fund shareholders approved changes in the name, investment sub-advisor and investment strategy of the Fund. On October 15, 2010, the Fund began operations under the name Aquila Three Peaks Opportunity Growth Fund, with Three Peaks Capital Management, LLC as sub-adviser, and an investment strategy that differs meaningfully from the strategy pursued by the previous Fund.  Performance prior to that date reflects the previous investment strategy of the Fund.

The investment return and principal value of an investment will fluctuate so that an investor’s shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Total return calculations include changes in share price and reinvestment of dividends and capital gain distributions in a hypothetical investment for the period shown. Different classes of shares are offered and their performance will vary because of differences in sales charges and fees.
