Fund expenses shown are as of the most recent prospectus.
ICON has contractually agreed to limit the total expenses of the Long/Short Fund (excluding interest, taxes, brokerage, dividends on short sales and extraordinary expenses) to an annual rate for Class A of 1.55% and an annual rate for Class C of 2.30%. This expense limitation may be terminated at any time after January 31, 2021 upon 30 days’ written notice of termination to the Fund’s Board of Trustees. ICON is entitled to reimbursement from the Fund of any fees waived pursuant to this arrangement if such reimbursement does not cause the Fund to exceed existing expense limitations and the reimbursement is made within three years after the expenses were reimbursed or absorbed.
The Net Expense Ratio exceeds the contractually limited expenses because of interest, taxes, brokerage, and extraordinary expenses not waived by the Adviser.
Gross Expenses are all customary expenses incurred by a Fund, excluding, where applicable, waivers, reimbursements, and contractually agreed-to limits of the total expenses by the Fund’s adviser. Net Expenses are all customary expenses incurred by a Fund, including, where applicable, waivers, reimbursements, and contractually agreed-to limits of the total expenses by the Fund adviser. Fund expenses shown are as of the most recent prospectus.

The data quoted represents past performance, which is no guarantee of future results. Investment return and principal value will fluctuate and shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Current performance may be higher or lower than the data quoted. Please call 1-800-828-4881 or click here for performance results current to the most recent month-end. Returns assume the reinvestment of dividends and capital gain distributions and reflect applicable fees and expenses. Investing for short periods makes losses more likely. Investments are not FDIC insured, nor are they deposits of or guaranteed by a bank or any other entity.
There are risks involved with mutual fund investing, including the risk of loss of principal. There is no assurance that the investment process will consistently lead to successful results. There are risks associated with selling short, including the risk that the Long/Short Fund may have to cover its short position at a higher price than the short price, resulting in a loss. The Fund's loss on a short sale is potentially unlimited as a loss occurs when the value of a security sold short increases. An investment concentrated in sectors and industries may involve greater risk and volatility than a more diversified investment. There are risks associated with Small and Mid Cap investing such as less liquidity, limited product lines, and small market share.
The unmanaged Standard & Poor’s Composite 1500 (S&P1500) Index is a broad-based capitalization-weighted index comprising 1,500 stocks of Large-cap, Mid-cap, and Small-cap U.S. companies. Total returns for the unmanaged index include the reinvestment of dividends and capital gain distributions but do not reflect the costs of managing a mutual fund. The Fund's composition may differ significantly from the index. Individuals cannot invest directly in an index.
