2	May 31, 2006 Semi-Annual Report

Fellow Shareowners:

For the six months ended May 31, 2006, the four Sextant funds continued to reflect the markets where they invest. Sextant International Fund did the best, up 8.38% as its non-US stock portfolio grew in value as expected when the US dollar was declining. Sextant Growth Fund, up 1.17%, reflected a volatile US stock market that ended almost unchanged (the S&P 500 index total return was 1.74% for the six months). The two Sextant bond funds continued to suffer from the steady rise in short-term interest rates, with Sextant Short-Term Bond Fund returning 0.88% and Sextant Bond Income Fund returning -0.76%.

Looking forward, the Fed’s steady increase in short-term interest rates appears to be nearing conclusion, meaning bonds may finally shine. The US economy and business profits march constantly up, greatly boosting income tax receipts and reducing pressure on the federal deficit. The over-heated and leveraged housing sector is cooling, meaning investors will again be considering the security markets.

The no-load Sextant Funds are designed to address a broad spectrum of investment needs. All Sextant Funds stress low operating expenses and employ a “fulcrum” advisory fee structure that rewards or penalizes Saturna Capital for investment results. Contrary to popular wisdom, a higher fund advisory fee that results from superior investment performance under a fulcrum advisory fee structure and consequently a higher fund expense ratio is actually in the best interests of shareowners.

In early July, the Trustees directed that the shareowners be asked to approve a new distribution plan (under SEC Rule 12b-1) designed to help the Sextant funds grow in size. For the last 10 years, the funds have provided good investment results at relatively low expense, but this has failed to attract significant new assets. The historically low expenses have meant the funds cannot afford to be offered through intermediaries, such as brokerage firms, where almost 90% of mutual fund sales take place. While the 0.25% annual additional expense for the 12b-1 plan seems like a wrong choice, the Trustees believe it is necessary if the funds are to grow in size - which can dramatically reduce the expense ratio as fixed costs are spread over more investor assets. And regardless of the 12b-1 plan, the voluntary waiver of fees by the advisor effectively caps the expense ratio in Sextant Short-Term Bond and Sextant Bond Income at 0.75% and 0.90%, respectively.

For the twelve-month period ended May 31, 2006, comparative total returns and percentile Morningstar category rankings (1 is best)† are:

Sextant Fund	Total Return	vs. Morningstar*	Total Return	Rank (category size)
Short-Term Bond	1.19%	Short-term Bond	1.46%	62 (419)
Bond Income	-1.82%	Long-term Bond	-2.39%	61 (63)
Growth	17.63%	Mid-Cap Growth	15.42	31 (953)
International	21.59%	Foreign Large Blend	28.92%	95(638)

Further information on each Fund is found in its section of this report. Perhaps uniquely, equity portfolio brokerage commission expenses are entirely borne by the adviser. Consequently, the Sextant Funds can not use portfolio brokerage to pay any expenses of the Funds or the adviser. Another unusual feature of the Sextant funds: on average, over one-third of each Sextant Fund is owned by the trustees, officers, and their related accounts.

Our portfolio managers welcome your comments and suggestions. We invite you to invest your money with ours.

*The 12-month Rank shows how each Fund ranks in its Morningstar peer category for the year ended May 31, 2006. Morningstar, Inc. is an independent fund performance monitor. Rankings are determined monthly from total returns by Morningstar, by category as determined by Morningstar. The average total return for a category is determined by Saturna Capital, utilizing the Morningstar database. Results are shown for twelve months because the Sextant Funds’ performance fees are computed monthly.

May 31, 2006 Semi-Annual Report

Sextant Short-Term Bond Fund (Graphic omitted)

Expenses

As a Sextant Short-Term Bond Fund shareowner, you incur ongoing costs, including management fees and other fund expenses. Unlike many mutual funds, you do not incur sales charges (loads) on purchase payments, reinvested dividends or other distributions. Nor do you incur redemption fees, exchange fees or fees related to Individual Retirement Accounts. This example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.

Example
The following example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the semi-annual period and held for six months (Thursday, December 1, 2005 to Wednesday, May 31, 2006).

Actual Expenses
The first line provides information about actual account values and expenses. You may use the information in this line, together with the amount you have invested, to estimate the expenses you have paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, a $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first line under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During Year” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this fiscal year. The Fund also charges for these extra services rendered on request, which you may need to add to determine your total expenses: $10 per checkbook, $25 per bank wire, $15 per overnight courier delivery, 2% penalty for redemptions within 30 days.

Hypothetical Example For Comparison Purposes
The second line provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund’s actual expense ratio (based on the last six months) and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund’s actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending balance or expenses you paid for the year. You may use this information to compare ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareowner reports of other funds. You may wish to add other fees that are not included in the expenses shown in the table, such as IRA fees (there are no fees on Saturna Capital IRAs, ESAs or HSAs), and charges for extra services such as check writing and bank wires.

Please note that the expenses shown are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs, such as sales charges (loads), redemption fees or exchange fees, or possible early redemption penalties. Therefore, the second line is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and may not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds.

Short-Term Bond Fund	Beginning Account Value (Thursday, December 1, 2005)	Ending Account Value (Wednesday, May 31, 2006)	Expenses Paid During Period*
Actual (0.88% return after expenses)	$1,000	$1,008.80	$3.71
Hypopthetical (5% return before expenses)	$1,000	$1,021.24	$3.73

*Expenses are equal to the Sextant Short-Term Bond Fund’s annualized expense ratio of 0.74% (based on the most recent semi-annual period of December 1, 2005 through May 31, 2006), multiplied by the average account value of $1,004.40 over the period multiplied by 182/365 (to reflect the one-half year period).

Expenses (unaudited)

As a Sextant International Fund shareowner, you incur ongoing costs, including management fees and other fund expenses. Unlike many mutual funds, you do not incur sales charges (loads) on purchase payments, reinvested dividends or other distributions. Nor do you incur redemption fees, exchange fees or fees related to Individual Retirement Accounts. This example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.

Hypopthetical (5% return before expenses)	$1,000	$1,020.34	$4.63

*Expenses are equal to the Sextant International Fund’s annualized expense ratio of 0.92% (based on the most recent semi-annual period of December 1, 2005 through May 31, 2006), multiplied by the average account value of $1,041.90 over the period multiplied by 182/365 (to reflect the one-half year period).

May 31, 2006 Semi-Annual Report

Notes To Financial Statements

Note 1 - Organization
Saturna Investment Trust (the “Trust”) was established under Washington State Law as a Business Trust on February 20, 1987. The Trust is registered as a no-load, open-end series investment company under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended. Five portfolio series have been created to date: Sextant Short-Term Bond Fund, Sextant Bond Income Fund, Sextant Growth Fund, and Sextant International Fund (the “Funds”), and Idaho Tax-Exempt Fund, distributed through a separate prospectus and the results of which are contained in a separate report.

The investment goals of the Growth and International Funds are long-term capital growth. The investment goals of the Bond Income and Short-Term Bond Funds are current income, with Short-Term Bond having the additional goal of capital preservation.

NOTE 2 - Significant Accounting Policies
The following is a summary of the significant accounting policies followed by the Funds.

Security Valuation:
Investments in securities traded on a national securities exchange (or reported on the NASDAQ national market) are stated at the last reported sales price on the day of valuation; other securities traded in the over-the-counter market and listed securities for which no sale was reported on that date are stated at the last quoted bid price. Securities for which quotations are not readily available are adjusted to fair value as determined in good faith under the supervision of the trustees.

Fixed-income securities for which there are no publicly available market quotations are valued using a matrix based on maturity, quality, yield and similar factors, which are compared periodically to multiple dealer bids and adjusted by the adviser under fair value policies established by the trustees. The ability of issuers of debt securities held by the Funds to meet their obligations may be affected by economic and political developments in a specific country or region.

Federal income taxes:
The Funds’ policies are to continue to comply with the requirements of the Internal Revenue Code applicable to regulated investment companies and to distribute all their taxable income to their shareowners. Therefore, no provisions for Federal income taxes are required.

Dividends and distributions to shareowners:
Dividends and distributions to shareowners, which are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, are recorded on the ex-dividend date. For the Sextant Short-Term Bond Fund and Sextant Bond Income Fund, dividends are paid daily and distributed on the last business day of each month. For the Sextant Growth Fund and Sextant International Fund, dividends are payable at the end of each November. Shareowners electing to reinvest dividends and distributions purchase additional shares at the net asset value on the payable date.

Use of Estimates:
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of increases and decreases in net assets from operations during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Other:
The cost of securities is the same for accounting and Federal income tax purposes. Securities transactions are recorded on trade date.
Interest income is recognized on an accrual basis. Discounts and premiums on securities purchased are amortized, over the lives of the respective securities. Cash dividends from equity securities are recorded as income on the ex-dividend date.

Expenses incurred by the Trust on behalf of the Fund (e.g., professional fees) are allocated to the Fund and the other Funds of the Trust on the basis of relative daily average net assets. The Adviser has agreed to certain limits on expenses, as described below.

The Trustees have adopted certain policies and procedures with respect to frequent trading of Fund shares. The Funds are intended for long-term investment and do not permit rapid trading of their shares. Shares held less than 30 calendar days, including those held in omnibus accounts at intermediaries, will be assessed a 2% early-redemption

penalty (payable to the Fund).

NOTE 3 - Transactions with Affiliated Persons
Under a contract approved by shareowners on September 28, 1995, Saturna Capital Corporation provides investment advisory services and certain other administrative and distribution services to conduct Trust business. Each of the Funds pays the Adviser a base Investment Advisory and Administrative Services Fee of .60% of average net assets per annum, payable monthly.

The base Advisory Fee is subject to adjustment up or down depending on the investment performance of the Fund relative to a specified index.

Performance Adjustment for Sextant Short-Term Bond Fund and Sextant Bond Income Fund:

For each month in which either of these Funds’ total investment return (change in net asset value plus all distributions reinvested) for the year period period through that month outperforms or underperforms the total return of a specified index for that period by 1% or more but less than 2%, the Base Fee is increased or decreased by the annual rate of .10% of the Fund’s average daily net assets for the preceding semi-annual period.
If the outperformance or underperformance is 2% or more, then the adjustment is at the annual rate of .20%.

Performance adjustment for Sextant Growth Fund and Sextant International Fund:

For each month in which either of these Fund’s total investment return (change in net asset value plus all distributions reinvested) for the one year period period through that month outperforms or underperforms the total return of a specified index for that period by 1% or more but less than 2%, the Base Fee is increased or decreased by the annual rate of .10% of the Fund’s average daily net assets for the preceding semi-annual period.
If the outperformance or underperformance is 2% or more but less than 4%, then the adjustment is at the annual rate of .20%.
If the outperformance or underperformance is 4% or more, the adjustment is at an annual rate of .30%.

The Adviser has voluntarily undertaken to limit expenses of Sextant Short-Term Bond Fund to 0.75% and Sextant Bond Income to 0.90% through March 31, 2007. The Adviser waives its investment advisory and administrative fee for Sextant Short-Term Bond Fund and Sextant Bond Income Fund completely so long as assets of either Fund are less than $2 million. For the semi-annual period ended May 31, 2006, Sextant Short-Term Bond Fund incurred advisory and administration expenses of $7,527. Sextant Bond Income Fund and Sextant Growth Fund incurred advisory and administration expenses of $5,897 and $47,481, respectively. Sextant International Fund incurred advisory and administration expenses of $21,848.

In accordance with the expense waiver noted above, for the semi-annual period ended May 31, 2006, Saturna Capital waived $4,686 of the Sextant Short-Term Bond Fund advisory fee.

In accordance with the Funds’ custodian agreements with National City Bank Indiana, for the semi-annual period ended May 31, 2006, custodian fees for Short-Term Bond, Bond Income, Growth, and International were $1,382, $480, $4,001, and $2,721, respectively. The custodian waived $1,487, $583, $4,178 and $2,781 of its fees for earnings credits for Short-Term Bond, Bond Income, Growth and International respectively.

One trustee, who also serves as the president of the Trust, is a director and president of the Adviser. On May 31, 2006, the trustees, officers and their related accounts as a group owned 22.8%, 23.6%, 37.2% and 50.6% of the outstanding shares of Short-Term Bond, Bond Income, Growth and International, respectively.

The four unaffiliated trustees receive $300 per Board or committee meeting attended, plus travel expenses. The Trust incurred expenses for the independent trustees of $3,713 to attend meetings during the fiscal semi-annual period. Regulations require the Trust to designate a Chief Compliance Officer; Mr. Winship was retained by the Trust and paid $8,697 during the fiscal semi-annual period. The other officers are paid by Saturna Capital, and not the Trust.

Semi-Annual Report (Graphic omitted)

(Graphic omitted) Fellow Shareowners:

For the six months ended May 31, 2006, Idaho Tax-Exempt Fund provided a total return of +0.93%. The net asset value was $5.23 per share compared to $5.27 at November 30, 2005. Fund assets decreased slightly to $8.31 million. The expense ratio continues at the annual rate of 0.88%.

For the twelve months ending May 31, 2006, global bond prices suffered as major central banks acted in concert to restrain the simultaneous resurgence of growth and inflation in the US, Pan European and Asian economies. Long US Treasury, agency, and corporate bonds returned -5.5% and lower. Most Intermediate US Treasury, agency, and corporate bonds also produced negative returns. However, intermediate general obligation municipal bonds again outperformed taxable bonds during a bear market with a positive return of 1.06%. Historically, rising municipal bond yields increase the demand for municipal bonds. In turn, that acts to support municipal bond prices during bear markets.

Looking ahead, we expect the Federal Reserve to move the Federal funds rate up to 6%. The flat yield curve is already anticipating the end of the current tightening cycle and a peak in short-term rates. We are less concerned about long term U.S. inflation risk and have extended the weighted average maturity of the Fund at current yields. We expect better returns for the Idaho Tax-Exempt Fund in 2007, and we view any further increase in short-term rates as an excellent opportunity to increase fixed-income allocations and especially allocations to municipal bonds.

Conservative investors choose the Idaho Tax-Exempt Fund for high quality tax-free municipal bonds and low price volatility when they reallocate assets from higher-risk common stocks to the relative safety of municipal bonds. Should restrictive monetary policy produce soft equity prices and an economic slowdown in 2007, the bond markets could have a good year. We recommend a balanced portfolio diversified with both common stocks and Idaho Tax-Exempt Fund. Idaho has many new residents (i.e., taxpayers) who can benefit from a tax-exempt bond portfolio.

The Idaho economy, population and State employment are once again growing above the national average. Construction spending has defied all expectations and remains strong. The State is forecasting a second multi-million dollar budget surplus. Idaho issuer credit worthiness remains healthy and improving. The government’s fiscal discipline and pro-business policies still give the State a sharp competitive edge.

We invite you to review the advantages of the Idaho Tax-Exempt Fund, including low expenses, income free from Idaho and federal income taxes, a high-quality diversified bond portfolio and daily supervision by professional managers. We welcome your suggestions. Only with your help can we be certain that we are meeting your investment needs — our primary objective.

Notes To Financial Statements (These notes are an integral part of the above financial statements)

Note 1—Organization
Saturna Investment Trust (the “Trust”) was established under Washington State Law as a Business Trust on February 20, 1987. The Trust is registered as a no-load, open-end series investment company under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended. Four portfolios have been created to date in addition to Idaho Tax-Exempt Fund (the “Fund”). The other four portfolios distribute through a separate prospectus and the results of those funds are contained in a separate report.

The investment objective of the Fund is to provide income free from federal income, federal alternative minimum and Idaho state income taxes, with a secondary objective of capital preservation.

Note 2—Significant Accounting Policies
The following is a summary of the significant accounting policies followed by the Fund.

Security valuation:
Fixed-income securities for which there are no publicly available market quotations are valued using matrices based on maturity, quality, yield, call features and similar

factors, which are compared periodically to multiple dealer bids and adjusted by the adviser under fair value policies established by the Trustees. The ability of issuers of debt securities held by the Fund to meet their obligations may be affected by economic and political developments in the State of Idaho.

Income taxes:
The Fund’s policy is to continue to comply with the requirements of the Internal Revenue Code that are applicable to regulated investment companies and to distribute all its taxable income to its shareowners. Therefore, no provision for Federal income taxes is required. Further, the Fund intends to meet requirements for tax-free income dividends, and requirements of the Idaho Department of Revenue for income dividends free of Idaho state income tax.

Dividends and distributions to shareowners:
Dividends and distributions to shareowners, which are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Dividends are paid daily and distributed on the last business day of each month. Shareowners electing to reinvest dividends and distributions purchase additional shares at the net asset value on the payable date.

6	Idaho Tax-Exempt Fund Semi-Annual Report May 31, 2006

Expenses (unaudited)

All mutual funds have operating expenses. As an Idaho Tax-Exempt mutual fund shareowner, you incur ongoing costs, including management fees; and other fund expenses such as shareowner reports (like this one). Operating expenses, which are deducted from a fund’s gross earnings, directly reduce the investment return of a fund. All mutual funds (unlike some other financial investments) only report their results after deduction of operating expenses.

With the Idaho Tax-Exempt fund, unlike many mutual funds, you do not incur sales charges (loads) on purchase payments, reinvested dividends, or other distributions. You do not incur redemption fees, exchange fees, or fees related to Individual Retirement Accounts. However, to discourage speculation, you may incur a 2% penalty for redemption of shares held less than 30 days. You may incur fees related to extra services requested by you for your account, such as a checkbook to use for redemptions or bank wires.

EXAMPLE

The example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the fiscal year and held for six months [Thursday, December 1, 2005 to Wednesday, May 31, 2006].

ACTUAL EXPENSES
The first line provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, together with the amount you have invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, a $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first line under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During Year” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this fiscal year. The Fund also charges the following fees for extra services rendered on request, which you may need to add to determine your total expenses: $10 per checkbook, $25 per bank wire, $15 per overnight courier delivery.

HYPOTHETICAL EXAMPLE FOR COMPARISON PURPOSES
The second line provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund’s actual expense ratio (based on the last six months) and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund’s actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the year. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareowner reports of the other funds. You may wish to add other fees that are not included in the expenses shown in the table and charges for extra services such as check writing and bank wires.

Please note that the expenses shown are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs, such as sales charges (loads), redemption fees, or exchange fees (note that the Idaho Tax-Exempt Fund does not have any such transaction costs). Therefore, the second line is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and may not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds.

	Beginning Account Value (Thursday, December 1, 2005)	Ending Account Value (Wednesday, May 31, 2006)	Expenses Paid During Period*
Actual (0.93% return after expenses)	$1,000	$1,009.30	$4.61
Hypopthetical (5% return before expenses)	$1,000	$1,020.34	$4.63

* Expenses are equal to Idaho Tax-Exempt Bond Fund’s annualized expense ratio of 0.92% (based on the most recent semi-annual period of December 1, 2005 through May 31, 2006, multiplied by the average account value of $1,004.65 over the period multiplied by 182/365 (to reflect the one-half year period).

Use of estimates:
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of increases and decreases in net assets from operations during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Other:
The cost of securities is the same for accounting and Federal income tax purposes. Securities transactions are recorded on trade date.
Interest income is recognized on an accrual basis. Discounts and premiums on securities purchased are amortized over the lives of the respective securities.
Expenses incurred by the Trust on behalf of the Fund (e.g., professional fees) are allocated to the Fund and the other Funds of the Trust on the basis of relative daily average net assets.

The Trustees have adopted certain policies and procedures with respect

to frequent trading of Fund shares. The Funds are intended for long-term investment and do not permit rapid trading of their shares. Shares held less than 30 calendar days, including those held in omnibus accounts at intermediaries, will be assessed a 2% early-redemption penalty (payable to the Fund).

Note 3—Transactions with Affiliated Persons
Under a contract approved by shareowners on October 12, 1990, Saturna Capital Corporation provides investment advisory services and certain other administrative and distribution services to conduct the Fund’s business. For such services, the Fund pays an annual fee equal to .50% of average daily net assets. For the 6-month period ended May 31, 2006, the Fund incurred advisory fee expenses of $21,472.

In accordance with the Fund’s agreement with its custodian, National City Bank of Indiana, for the 6-month period ended May 31, 2006, custodian fees incurred by the Fund amounted to $1,256. The custodian waived $1,583 of its fees for earnings credits.
