  • Minimum initial investment: $250; minimum monthly investment: $50

If you discontinue participation in the Plan, the Funds reserve the right to redeem your account involuntarily, upon 30 days written notice, if the account's net asset value is $1,000 or less. Involuntary redemptions will not be made if the value of shares in an account falls below the minimum amount solely because of a decline in the Fund's net asset value.

Payroll or Government Direct Deposit

You can have your payroll or government check, including Social Security checks, deposited directly into your Northern Funds account.

 

To open a new account:

  • You must first open a new account with the investment minimum before establishing payroll or government direct deposit. See the instructions for opening a new account by mail above.
  • Once your account has been established, follow the instructions for adding to an existing account by payroll or government direct deposit.

Dividend/Capital Gain Reinvestment

You can have your dividend and capital gain distributions automatically reinvested in another Northern Fund.
